00:01:58Dolby
00:02:11Ladies and gentlemen, with your kind attention and permission, I have the honour of presenting to you one of the
00:02:20most remarkable men in the world.
00:02:23How remarkable. He sweated.
00:02:27And can you be surprised at that gentleman? Every day he commits to memory 50 new facts and remembers every
00:02:35one of them. Facts from history, from geography, from newspapers, from scientific books. Millions and millions of them.
00:02:43Think of the strain involved by his ridiculous feet. His feet ain't as big as yours, Carly.
00:02:52I'm referring to his feet of memory. Test him, please. Ladies and gentlemen, ask him your questions and he will
00:03:00answer you fully and freely. Mr. Memory.
00:03:07I also add, ladies and gentlemen, before retiring, that Mr. Memory has left his brain to the British Museum.
00:03:16Hooray!
00:03:44Hooray!
00:03:46Hooray!
00:03:46What won in 1936?
00:03:49You come back in 1937 and I'll tell you, sir.
00:03:53How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:03:55What won the cup in 1926?
00:03:57Cup, Waterloo, football or tea, sir?
00:04:00Football, silly.
00:04:02Poultry win it.
00:04:0363 B.C. in the presence of the Emperor Nero.
00:04:07Of course is tripping poultry.
00:04:09Shh! Don't make yourself so common.
00:04:12Well, I fell upon it, haven't I?
00:04:16How many races did McMillor win?
00:04:18How old is my West?
00:04:20When was tripping hanged?
00:04:22Who was the last British heavyweight champion of the world?
00:04:25Henry VIII.
00:04:26My old woman.
00:04:30Bob Fitzsimmons.
00:04:31He defeated Jim Corbett, heavyweight champion of America, at Carson City, Nevada, in October 1897.
00:04:38He was then 34 years of age, sir. Am I right, sir?
00:04:41How old is my West?
00:04:42I know, sir, but I never tell a lady's age.
00:04:47Next, please.
00:04:48What causes tripping poultry?
00:04:54How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:04:56Miss Winnipeg, sir?
00:04:57How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:04:59Ah, a gentleman from Canada.
00:05:01You're welcome, sir.
00:05:04Winnipeg, the third city of Canada, and the capital of the province of Manitoba.
00:05:08Distance from Montreal, 1,424 miles. Am I right, sir?
00:05:13Quite right.
00:05:15Next, please.
00:05:16Who's my West?
00:05:17Of course, that was a very historical fact.
00:05:19Who's my West?
00:05:20Who's my West?
00:05:25Who's my West?
00:05:31Who's my West?
00:05:34Who's my West?
00:05:35Oh, who's my West?!
00:05:39Who's my West?!
00:05:40Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!
00:05:42Tell me! Tell me!
00:05:43Please, you're not a town.
00:06:13Oh
00:06:14Hey, for God's sake, play something now! Stop this gunning!
00:06:33Well, here we are.
00:06:41May I come home, Monsieur?
00:06:43What's the idea?
00:06:46Well, I'd like to.
00:06:48Well, it's your funeral.
00:06:50Come on then, there's a bus.
00:07:17You don't stay here always.
00:07:18No, I've taken the furnished flat. I'm only over here from Canada for a few months.
00:07:23By the way, am I allowed to know your name?
00:07:27Smith?
00:07:29All right.
00:07:37Do you want to know more about me? What do you think I'd do for a living?
00:07:41Actress?
00:07:42Not in the way you mean.
00:07:44Chorus?
00:07:45No.
00:07:46I'm sorry.
00:07:47I'm a freelance.
00:07:48Artful adventurer.
00:07:49That's right.
00:07:50This way.
00:07:51I'm afraid you'll find my sitting room all upset.
00:07:53I've had the decorators in.
00:07:54Wait till I find the suite.
00:07:55Not yet.
00:08:09Now.
00:08:19Mr. Haney, would you be so very kind and turn that mirror with its face to the wall?
00:08:36You'd be happier if there were curtains over those windows.
00:08:39Yes.
00:08:39I'm sorry.
00:08:43Hello, there's the telephone.
00:08:45Just a minute.
00:08:47Mr. Haney, don't answer the telephone.
00:08:50Why not?
00:08:51Because I think it's for me.
00:08:53Oh, please don't answer.
00:08:57Just as you say.
00:09:01Won't you sit down?
00:09:02Thanks.
00:09:03If you'll please kick that footstool over to me.
00:09:25You needed that.
00:09:27I did.
00:09:35I owe you an explanation.
00:09:37Well, don't bother about me.
00:09:38I'm nobody.
00:09:40We cannot talk here.
00:09:44All right.
00:09:57Just a minute.
00:09:58Just a minute.
00:10:06Okay?
00:10:07Mm-hmm.
00:10:10Cigarette?
00:10:11No, thank you.
00:10:15No, thank you.
00:10:16They're our friend again.
00:10:17Take no notice.
00:10:34Take no notice.
00:10:37Would you think me very troublesome if I ask for something to eat?
00:10:40I've had nothing all day.
00:10:42Sure.
00:10:48You like etiquette?
00:10:49Yes, please.
00:10:51I suppose your name isn't really Smith.
00:10:54Depends on where I am.
00:10:56You may call me Annabella.
00:10:57Annabella Smith.
00:10:58The clergyman's daughter, I say.
00:11:03Hello, Nervy.
00:11:04Upset with those shots tonight?
00:11:07I fired those shots.
00:11:09You what?
00:11:10Yes, to create a diversion.
00:11:13You see, I had to get away from the theatre quickly.
00:11:16There were two men there who wanted to kill me.
00:11:20Really, you should be more careful in choosing your gentlemen friends.
00:11:23No, no, no. You don't understand.
00:11:24You don't make it very easy for me, do you?
00:11:26A beautiful, mysterious woman pursued by gunmen.
00:11:29Sounds like a spy story.
00:11:31That's exactly what it is.
00:11:33Only I prefer the word agent better.
00:11:36Agent?
00:11:37For what country?
00:11:38Any country that pays me.
00:11:39Now, what is your country?
00:11:41I have no country.
00:11:43Born in the balloon, eh?
00:11:44Let that go.
00:11:47Now, I suppose you've come over here to dig up some great big state secrets.
00:11:51No, I'm here to save a secret from being dug up.
00:11:55A very important secret for this country.
00:11:57Not because I love England, but because it will pay me better that way.
00:12:02You see, the very brilliant agent of a certain foreign power
00:12:06is on the point of obtaining a secret vital to your air defence.
00:12:11I tracked two of his men to that musical.
00:12:14Unfortunately, they recognise me.
00:12:16That's why they're after me now.
00:12:18That was too bad.
00:12:19You ever heard of a thing called persecution mania?
00:12:22You don't believe me?
00:12:24Frankly, I don't.
00:12:25Go and look down into the street, then.
00:12:59You win.
00:13:00Are they there?
00:13:01Yes.
00:13:03I hoped I'd shaken them off.
00:13:06Listen, I'm going to tell you something which is not very healthy to know.
00:13:10But now that they have followed me here, you are in it as much as I am.
00:13:16How do you mean?
00:13:18Have you ever heard of the 39 steps?
00:13:20No, what's that?
00:13:21A pub?
00:13:23Never mind.
00:13:25But what you were laughing at just now is true.
00:13:28These men will stick at nothing.
00:13:30I'm the only person who can stop them.
00:13:32If they are not stopped, it's only a matter of days, parts hours,
00:13:36before the secret is out of the country.
00:13:38Well, why don't you phone the police or something?
00:13:40Because they wouldn't believe me any more than you did.
00:13:43And if they did, how long do you think it would take to get them going?
00:13:47These men act quickly.
00:13:49You don't know how clever that chief is.
00:13:53Clever and ruthless.
00:13:54Who is he? What's his name?
00:13:56He has a dozen names.
00:13:58He can look like a hundred people.
00:14:01But one thing he cannot disguise.
00:14:05This part of his little finger is missing.
00:14:08So if ever you should meet a man with no top joint there,
00:14:11be very careful, my friend.
00:14:13Thanks. I'll make a note of it.
00:14:15Meanwhile, what are you going to do?
00:14:17First I'll eat my head up.
00:14:19And then, if you're not going to turn me out into the street,
00:14:23have a good night's rest.
00:14:25You're welcome to my bed.
00:14:27I'll get a shake down on the couch.
00:14:30Anything else I can get you?
00:14:32A map of Scotland.
00:14:34Why Scotland?
00:14:36There's a man in Scotland whom I must visit next,
00:14:39if anything is to be done.
00:14:43Are there 39 steps in Scotland by any chance?
00:14:48Perhaps I'll tell you tomorrow.
00:15:06Clear out, Hennie.
00:15:08We'll get you next.
00:15:12What?
00:15:13Come on.
00:15:35Come on.
00:15:35Come on.
00:15:36Come on.
00:15:52Come on.
00:15:54Come on.
00:15:57What you were laughing at just now,
00:16:04These men will stop at nothing.
00:16:43There is a man in Scotland whom I must visit next if anything is to be done.
00:16:52It is only a matter of days, perhaps hours, before the secret is out of the country.
00:17:02The police would not believe me any more than you did.
00:17:08I tell you these men act quickly, quickly, quickly.
00:18:06Good morning, sir.
00:18:06You're out bright and early this morning.
00:18:11Could you use a found note, brother?
00:18:13What's the catch?
00:18:14I want to borrow your cap and coat.
00:18:16Yeah, wait a minute.
00:18:16What's all this?
00:18:17What's the big idea?
00:18:18I want to make a getaway.
00:18:19Do a bunk?
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:20What have you been up to?
00:18:23I'll have to trust you.
00:18:24There's been a murder committed up on the first floor.
00:18:27By you?
00:18:28No, no.
00:18:29By those two men out there.
00:18:33I see.
00:18:34Now I suppose they're waiting there as good as gold for a copper to come and arrest them.
00:18:37It's quite true.
00:18:38Listen.
00:18:38They're spies.
00:18:39Foreigners.
00:18:40They've murdered a woman in my flat and now they're waiting for me.
00:18:43Oh, come off it.
00:18:44Funny jokes at five o'clock in the morning.
00:18:45All right.
00:18:46All right.
00:18:47I'll tell you the truth.
00:18:50You married?
00:18:50Yes, but don't rub it in.
00:18:52What's the idea now?
00:18:53Well, I'm not, you see.
00:18:54I'm a bachelor.
00:18:55Oh, are you?
00:18:56A married woman lives on the first floor.
00:18:58Does she?
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:00And I've just been paying her a call.
00:19:04And now I want to go home.
00:19:06Well, what's preventing you?
00:19:07Well, one of those men's her brother, the other's her husband.
00:19:10How do you see?
00:19:11Why didn't you tell me before, old fella?
00:19:13Only wanted to be told.
00:19:15Trying to kid me with a lot of tales about murders and foreigners.
00:19:17Here, put this on.
00:19:18Put on my little hat.
00:19:19There you are.
00:19:20Take a pardon.
00:19:21No, no, no, sir.
00:19:22You're welcome to it.
00:19:23You'll do the same for me one day.
00:19:26Lead the pony round the corner.
00:19:30So long, Allsport.
00:19:31Goodbye, thank you.
00:19:37Oi!
00:19:38The empties!
00:20:30Well, for one thing, they're much prettier than they were 20 years ago.
00:20:34More free. Free and easy.
00:20:36You're right there.
00:20:37I can never understand how people used to put up with the old-fashioned sort.
00:20:40All bones and no bend.
00:20:42Well, I will say for the old-fashioned, they didn't last longer.
00:20:44Why, I don't know.
00:20:45Mine last about a year.
00:20:46Here, I'll show you.
00:20:48Big demand for these now.
00:20:53The old-fashioned sort.
00:20:55My wife.
00:20:56Now take a look at these.
00:20:58Our new Streamline Model No. 1.
00:21:00What I've been talking to you about.
00:21:02Anything go with it?
00:21:03I should say so.
00:21:04This.
00:21:06Put a pretty girl inside those.
00:21:08She needn't be ashamed of herself anywhere.
00:21:10All right. Bring it back to me when it's filled.
00:21:12I will.
00:21:13Now, what's this?
00:21:15Edinburgh. Waverley.
00:21:16We're getting on.
00:21:17I hope you'll pardon us for talking business, sir.
00:21:19Oh, certainly.
00:21:20Certainly.
00:21:22Good day.
00:21:23Good day, sir.
00:21:26Good day.
00:21:31Good day.
00:21:32Broad-minded, old geezer.
00:21:33I bet he's very good at surrads.
00:21:36I wonder what won the two o'clock at Windsor.
00:21:38I don't know.
00:21:38Let's get a paper.
00:21:43Hey, son.
00:21:45Speaking of English.
00:21:46Dispatch.
00:21:53Hello.
00:21:54Well, what won it?
00:21:55There's been another woman murdered in a West End flat.
00:21:57What?
00:21:58Woman murdered in West End flat.
00:22:00These sex dramas don't appeal to me.
00:22:02What won?
00:22:03A bachelor butt.
00:22:04Good.
00:22:04Seven to four o'clock.
00:22:05Oh, not so good.
00:22:06Portland Mansions.
00:22:07Portland Place.
00:22:08By the BBC.
00:22:09That's a nice quiet place to put someone to sleep.
00:22:11Good night, everybody.
00:22:12Good night.
00:22:14That's a good one.
00:22:15What was she like?
00:22:16One of the usual?
00:22:17A well-dressed woman of about 35, with a knife in her back.
00:22:21Lieutenant Richard Haney is missing.
00:22:23You surprise me.
00:22:26At seven o'clock this morning, the charwoman Elizabeth Briggs...
00:22:30Well, if that isn't the blasted liver...
00:22:32What's the matter now?
00:22:33Is there no honesty in this world at all?
00:22:35I ask you.
00:22:36The new body-line rubber panty corset.
00:22:39On sale today.
00:22:41McCutcheon Brothers.
00:22:42Princess Street.
00:22:42Price 17 and 9.
00:22:44Brassier to match 4 and 11.
00:22:47Do you get that?
00:22:48The body-line.
00:22:49One and three cheaper than our stream-line.
00:22:52No use going to Aberdeen now.
00:22:54Why'd I have a look at your paper?
00:22:55Certainly.
00:23:12All right.
00:23:35There's enough evidence there to hang any man.
00:23:40What can I do for you, sir?
00:23:42Oh, can you tell me what station that train shop would be?
00:23:46Do you think I have a railway portal?
00:23:48Go in and find out for yourself.
00:23:56Well, you could have a better one than that present.
00:23:58Well, you couldn't.
00:23:59It was very funny.
00:23:59Well, you liked it, did you?
00:24:01Have you heard the one about the young lady of Hongda?
00:24:03I don't know.
00:24:03I can't remember.
00:24:04Oh, you must hear that.
00:24:05There was a young lady of Hongda.
00:24:07Well, yes, we, uh...
00:24:29Take him, please, sir.
00:24:30Yes, sir. Thank you.
00:25:00Darling, how lovely to see.
00:25:09Don't mind having a free meal in there.
00:25:13I was desperate. I'm terribly sorry. I had to do it.
00:25:15Look, my name's Henry. They're after me. I swear I'm innocent.
00:25:19You've got to help me. I've got to keep free for the next few days.
00:25:22Well, you'll see the man passing in the last few minutes.
00:25:27This is the man you want, I think?
00:25:30When we passed just now...
00:25:32He passed his way in here and told me his name was Hanni.
00:25:34Is your name Hanni? No.
00:25:35Are you coming in to tea, sir? I'll be right along.
00:25:48Hold that cord.
00:25:57Hold that cord.
00:26:24Hold that cord.
00:26:25Hold that cord.
00:26:26Come on, man.
00:26:27Get on with it.
00:26:35Here! Here!
00:26:36What for did you pull the communication cord?
00:26:38To stop the train, you old fool.
00:26:40It's against all the regulations to stop the train on the bridge.
00:26:42But a man jumped off.
00:26:43He's a marshal. We've got to take him.
00:26:44Which way did he go?
00:26:45He must have jumped off here.
00:26:46I cannot see him.
00:26:47Are you sure he jumped?
00:26:48Anyway, I cannot wait here any longer.
00:26:51There he is, getting on the train.
00:26:52No, that's a bastard.
00:26:53It's here, I tell you.
00:26:54Come on with you then.
00:26:55Let's go.
00:26:56Get him.
00:27:12Any escape, Fiber?
00:27:14Any escape, Fiber?
00:27:16Fiber extra special.
00:27:18Fiber sensation to escape a boat, please.

00:27:51Fiber, okey!
00:27:51Should be his man till he ends in the spots.

00:34:40I'll never forget you for doing this for me.
00:34:41Which way do I go?
00:34:42I'll show you.

00:34:54I and you two.
00:34:55Get out of my house before I...
00:34:57I go.
00:34:58Go.
00:34:58Leave you like this.
00:34:59No fear.
00:34:59It's your chance of liberty.
00:35:00You don't understand.
00:35:05Look here.
00:35:05You're all wrong about this.
00:35:06You're only trying to help me.
00:35:07Aye.
00:35:07To bring shame and disgrace upon my host.
00:35:09You told me to escape from the police.
00:35:12The police?
00:35:12It's the police.
00:35:13They're after me for murder.
00:35:14What?
00:35:14They're here.
00:35:15You're only trying to warn me.
00:35:16I had to tell her about it last night.
00:35:19Don't let them in.
00:35:19Say I'm not here.
00:35:20I'll make it with you while.
00:35:22How much?
00:35:23Five pounds.
00:35:23Have you got that much?
00:35:24Give it to me.
00:35:25What have they got?
00:35:27Get back into the lane.
00:35:29Shut them in.
00:35:30Hide them.
00:35:33Not there.
00:35:34I didn't trust them.
00:35:35But he took the money.
00:35:36He couldn't have resisted.
00:35:37Here.
00:35:42Have you seen a stranger about here?
00:35:44What kind of a stranger?
00:35:45Oh, no.
00:35:46I was right.
00:35:48He's asking if there's a reward.
00:35:50If you get catched.
00:35:52He'll argue baggy for a moment longer before he lets them in.
00:35:55Now's your time.
00:35:56Oh, your jacket's terrible, light-colored.
00:35:58And I feared they'll see you.
00:36:01You best take this one.
00:36:02Is this your husband's coat?
00:36:04I have some the best one.
00:36:05But never mind.
00:36:06They mustn't see you.
00:36:07What'll happen to you?
00:36:08Oh, I say I couldn't stop you.
00:36:09He'll not ill-treat you.
00:36:10No.
00:36:11He'll pray at me, but no more.
00:36:12What's your name?
00:36:13Margaret.
00:36:13Goodbye, Margaret.
00:36:14I'll never forget you for this.
00:36:43There he goes.
00:36:53Spread out to the land.
00:37:24I'll never forget you.
00:37:55I'll never forget you.
00:38:08I'll never forget you.
00:38:25He's the master in it.
00:38:26What name shall I say, sir?
00:38:27Well, he wouldn't know my name.
00:38:28Ask him if he knows Miss Hannah Bella Smith.
00:38:30Would you wait here, sir, while I-
00:38:31Yes, hold on.
00:38:40You'd better make inquiries here.
00:38:42Aye, it's something you may have seen in front of the windows.
00:38:45There's been a couple of motorcars here.
00:38:47Aye.
00:38:47Marriages didn't pay calls in motorcars.
00:38:50Good day to you.
00:38:52The same to you.
00:38:53Have you seen any strangers about this morning?
00:38:55There's a few callers upstairs now, but they're no strangers.
00:38:58You haven't seen any suspicious-looking bodies outside the windows or calling at the hoose.
00:39:03No, sir.
00:39:04There hasn't been anybody near here for the last half hour.
00:39:09You're from Annabella Smith?
00:39:10Yes.
00:39:12We're just having a few drinks to celebrate my daughter Hillary's birthday.
00:39:16Give me five minutes to get rid of these people, then we can talk.
00:39:18Of course.
00:39:19Come along in and meet my wife.
00:39:20Louisa, my dear, I've another guest for you.
00:39:22This is Mr...
00:39:23I forgot to ask your name.
00:39:25Mr. Hammond.
00:39:26He's come to see me on business.
00:39:28All the way from London.
00:39:29There's a police inspector at the door, sir.
00:39:31He wants to speak to you.
00:39:32At the door.
00:39:35All right.
00:39:36All right.
00:39:37I'll deal with that.
00:39:38Take him in, my dear, will you, please?
00:39:39Come and meet my daughter.
00:39:41This is Patricia.
00:39:42Thank you, sir.
00:39:44Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Huntley.
00:39:45Oh, Hillary, my dear.
00:39:46This is Mr...
00:39:47Hammond.
00:39:48Mr. Hammond.
00:39:49He's just arrived from London.
00:39:50How to do, Mr. Hammond.
00:39:51Forgive the ors.
00:39:52We've all been missing.
00:39:53The church and the sermon lasts for three quarters of an hour.
00:39:55This is Captain and Mrs. Ogleby.
00:39:58Have a drink, Mr. Hammond.
00:39:59This is Derek.
00:40:00Derek Stewart.
00:40:02And this is Sheriff Watson.
00:40:04You've got to be polite to him.
00:40:06He's our Sheriff substitute.
00:40:07Scotch for local people.
00:40:08Give you six months hard as soon as look at you.
00:40:11I've had a time when my car ran into the ocean.
00:40:13It's all right.
00:40:14Don't worry.
00:40:15I've sent them away.
00:40:17Come and look at the view from this window, Mr. Hammond.
00:40:23We're rather proud of it.
00:40:29By the way, Sheriff, when are you going to catch that murderer?
00:40:32Murderer?
00:40:32What murderer?
00:40:33My dear, haven't you heard?
00:40:34Why, the man that stuck a carving knife into that woman in Portland place last week.
00:40:37He's here in the district.
00:40:38Darling, how exciting.
00:40:39Well, somewhere about.
00:40:41He's been on the moors.
00:40:42Bridge of Orkey or somewhere.
00:40:44Sheriff Ainge, why don't you catch him?
00:40:46You wouldn't like me to be stuck in the back with a carving knife, would you?
00:40:48Oh, it's no business of mine to catch him.
00:40:50You catch him, and I'll convict him.
00:40:51Is there a reward, gracious?
00:40:53It's nearly one o'clock.
00:40:54Jim, we must get out of here.
00:40:55The professor wants his lunch.
00:40:56There's no hurry, my dear.
00:40:58Still, if you must go.
00:40:59Pat!
00:41:00Ring for Captain Ogilvy's car, will you?
00:41:02Yes, sir.
00:41:07Well, whenever you do catch him, you'll find me at the Sheriff's Court at 10 every morning,
00:41:16so bring him along.
00:41:17Good advice, sir.
00:41:18I've got to see you out in your car.
00:41:21Louisa, my dear.
00:41:22If you'll excuse us, Mr. Hammond and I want to have a chat before lunch.
00:41:34Now, Mr. Haney, I suppose it's safe to call you by your real name now?
00:41:41What about our mutual friend, Annabella?
00:41:43She's been murdered.
00:41:44Murdered?
00:41:46Oh, the Portland Mansions affair.
00:41:48What are our friends outside looking for you for?
00:41:50I didn't do it.
00:41:51Of course you didn't.
00:41:54But why come all this way to Scotland to tell me about it?
00:41:57I believe she was coming to see you about some air ministry secret.
00:42:00She was killed by a foreign agent who was interested, too.
00:42:04Did she tell you what the foreign agent looked like?
00:42:06It wasn't time.
00:42:07No, there was one thing part of his little finger was missing.
00:42:09Which one?
00:42:10This one, I think.
00:42:12Sure it wasn't this one?
00:42:35Lunch is ready, dear.
00:42:37I'm coming right away.
00:42:41Well, Mr. Haney.
00:42:43I'm afraid I've been guilty of leading you down the garden path.
00:42:46Or should it be up?
00:42:48I never can remember.
00:42:49It seems to be the wrong garden, all right.
00:42:55Well, what are we going to do about it?
00:42:57That's just the point.
00:42:59What are we going to do about it?
00:43:02You see, I live here as a respectable citizen.
00:43:05And you must realize that my whole existence would be jeopardized
00:43:08if it became known that I'm not, what shall we say, not what I seem.
00:43:14Oh, Mr. Haney, why have you come here?
00:43:16Why have you forced me into this difficult position?
00:43:20I can't lock you up in a room or anything like that.
00:43:23You see, there's my wife and daughters to think of.
00:43:27I don't know what to think.
00:43:29Really, I don't.
00:43:31What makes it doubly important that I shouldn't let you go is
00:43:34that I'm just about to convey some very vital information out of the country.
00:43:41Oh, yes, I've got it.
00:43:43I'm afraid poor Annabella would have been too late in any case.
00:43:51Well, that's fair.
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:53And what about it?
00:43:54What about what?
00:43:55About yourself.
00:43:56Seems to me there's only one way out.
00:43:58What's there?
00:44:03Supposing I left you alone with this revolver?
00:44:08Tomorrow's newspapers would be able to announce
00:44:10that the Portland Place murderer had taken his own life.
00:44:13I thought you were coming to lunch directly, dear.
00:44:15We've all been waiting.
00:44:17Mr. Hammond be staying?
00:44:18I don't think so, dear.
00:44:23Well, what do you think, Mr. Haney?
00:44:33Well, I'm afraid you leave me no alternative.
00:44:43I cannae find my handbook.
00:44:46Where did you leave it?
00:44:48In the breast pocket and overcoat.
00:44:49It was hung in here.
00:44:53John, I...
00:44:54I'm afraid I gave it to that gentleman
00:44:56who was staying here that night.
00:45:05Cigarette cases, yes,
00:45:06but I've never seen it happen to a hymn book before,
00:45:08except on the movies.
00:45:08And this bullet stuck among the hymns, eh?
00:45:11Well, I'm not surprised, Mr. Haney.
00:45:12Some of those hymns are terrible hard to get through.
00:45:15I've stuck at them myself before now, eh?
00:45:18I'm not complaining, Sheriff.
00:45:19Hymns that have helped me.
00:45:20Yes, that's a good one, Mr. Haney.
00:45:22That's fine.
00:45:24And to think that I was drinking a champagne only half an hour before.
00:45:28Well, it's a lesson to us all, Mr. Haney.
00:45:29Not to mix with doubtful company on the Sabbath.
00:45:32And, eh, how did you escape?
00:45:34Well, if you look through the window, sir, you'll see.
00:45:36They put the, eh, well, the body in the dressing room.
00:45:39When I came to, I borrowed this suit in case one of his men recognised me
00:45:43and pinched his car.
00:45:45Sheriff, I don't want to hurry you or anything, but...
00:45:47Orton would have been taking steps.
00:45:48This is serious, you know.
00:45:50If it weren't, you don't suppose I'd put myself in your hands
00:45:52with a murder charge hanging over me?
00:45:53Never heed the murder, Mr. Haney.
00:45:56I don't doubt you'll be able to convince Scotland Yard of your innocence
00:45:58as easily as you've convinced me.
00:46:00All I'll need will be a short statement
00:46:03that I can forward to the proper authority.
00:46:05Okay.
00:46:05I have someone coming over from the police station next door.
00:46:07Take it down.
00:46:08Thank you, sir.
00:46:11Are you wishing to see me, Sheriff?
00:46:13Indeed I am.
00:46:14Do you think I enjoy playing for time with a murderer?
00:46:18Murderer?
00:46:19Saturday.
00:46:20Haney, you're under arrest on the charge of willful murder
00:46:23of a woman unknown in Portland Mansions, London, on Tuesday last.
00:46:27Take him over to the county jail.
00:46:28If you've heard my story, you must believe it.
00:46:29It's true.
00:46:30I tell you every word of it.
00:46:31Haney, we're not so daft in Scotland as some smart Londoners may think.
00:46:35Do you think I believed your cock and bull story about the professor?
00:46:37Why, he's my best friend in the district.
00:46:39Give me Professor Jordan.
00:46:40If the professor didn't, where did that bullet come from?
00:46:42That's easy.
00:46:43From one of your pursuers on the moor.
00:46:45Isn't that so, Inspector?
00:46:45It is so, sir.
00:46:46I had a shortage of myself.
00:46:47I demand that you allow me to telephone to the High Commissioner for Canada in London.
00:46:50You'd better do that from London.
00:46:51You'll be there soon enough.
00:46:52It'll save you the cost of a trunk call.
00:47:02That's the professor's car all right.
00:47:05Haney must be inside spilling the beans.
00:47:09Hey, stop this!
00:47:11My God!
00:47:12Go on!
00:47:14Hold on!
00:47:15Get him!
00:47:16Get him!
00:47:17Get him!
00:47:27Get him!
00:47:33Get him, please!
00:47:33Set him, let him, let him!
00:47:36Get him, let him!
00:47:37Scipital down, let the police room.
00:47:37Oh, he's good for Oracle.
00:47:40Get him!
00:47:40Go hunting!уд
00:48:03Oh, how'd you do? How'd you do? We're all waiting for you.
00:48:07Pamela's got to meet you at the station. This way. This way.
00:48:10From our respected leader and standard-bearer himself,
00:48:14I welcome this opportunity of discussing with you
00:48:18another question vital to the import of our country
00:48:23at this critical and momentous hour.
00:48:26But first of all, as a preliminary to this,
00:48:30I shall occupy... You've occupied all much already.
00:48:33But you've had enough of you!
00:48:41Ladies and gentlemen, I'm now going to call upon the speaker of the evening.
00:48:46Speaker!
00:48:47There's no need for me to tell you who he is,
00:48:49nor to speak of his brilliant record as a soldier in the Statesman.
00:48:53Son of Scotland...
00:48:54Speaker!
00:48:56...is now one of the foremost figures of the diplomatic and political world
00:49:00in the great city of London.
00:49:02I'm therefore going to ask him to tell you something...
00:49:04It's about time to...
00:49:05...meaning how important it is to this constituency
00:49:08that at this crucial by-election
00:49:11our candidate should be returned by an adequate majority.
00:49:14I now ask for Captain Fraser.
00:49:36Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for my hesitation in rising just now,
00:49:40but to tell you the simple truth,
00:49:41I'd entirely failed while listening to the chairman's flattering description
00:49:45of the next speaker
00:49:46to realise he was talking about me.
00:49:51As for you, may I say from the bottom of my heart
00:49:54and with the utmost sincerity
00:49:56how delighted and relieved I am
00:49:58to find myself in your presence at this moment.
00:50:08Delighted, because of your friendly reception.
00:50:11Relieved, because so long as I stand on this platform
00:50:14I'm delivered from the moment...
00:50:17from the cares and anxieties
00:50:19which must always be the lot of a man in my position.
00:50:22When I journeyed up to Scotland a few days ago
00:50:25travelling on the Highland Express
00:50:26over that magnificent structure of the Fourth Bridge
00:50:29which is that monument to Scottish engineering and Scottish muscle.
00:50:34That is to say, on that journey
00:50:35I had no idea that in a few days' time
00:50:37I should find myself addressing an important political meeting.
00:50:40No idea.
00:50:41I'd planned a very different programme for myself.
00:50:44A very different programme.
00:50:46You'd be for the moors to shoot something.
00:50:48Yes, or somebody. I'm a rotten shot.
00:50:52Anyhow, I little thought I should be speaking tonight
00:50:54in support of that brilliant young statesman
00:50:57that rising gentleman on my right
00:51:02already known among you as one
00:51:04destined to make no uncertain mark in politics.
00:51:07In other words, your future Member of Parliament
00:51:09your candidate, Mr...
00:51:14Macrocodile.
00:51:14He doesn't even know the candidate's name.
00:51:17I know your candidate will forgive my referring to him
00:51:20by the friendly nickname
00:51:22by which he's already known in anticipation
00:51:24in anticipation mark you
00:51:26at Westminster.
00:51:31Now, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to discuss some topic.
00:51:33What shall it be?
00:51:34The hairy fisheries.
00:51:36Unemployment.
00:51:36What about the idle wretch?
00:51:38The idle wretch?
00:51:38That's a bit of an old-fashioned topic these days.
00:51:40Especially for me, because I'm not rich
00:51:42and I've never been idle.
00:51:43I've been pretty busy all my life
00:51:45and I expect to be much busier quite soon.
00:51:47Have you ever worked with your hands?
00:51:48Indeed I have.
00:51:49And I've known what it is to feel lonely and helpless
00:51:51and to have the whole world against me.
00:51:53And those are things that no man or woman ought to feel.
00:51:56And I ask your candidate
00:51:57and all those who love their fellow men
00:51:59to set themselves resolutely to make this world
00:52:01a happier place to live in.
00:52:03A world where no nation plots against nation.
00:52:06Where no neighbour plots against neighbour.
00:52:08Where there is no persecution or hunting down.
00:52:10Where everybody gets a square deal and a sporting chance.
00:52:13And where people try to help and not to hinder.
00:52:15A world from which suspicion and cruelty and fear
00:52:18have been forever banished.
00:52:20That is the sort of world I want.
00:52:21Is that the sort of world you want?
00:52:24Who are you?!
00:52:26That's all I have to say. Goodnight!
00:52:44I kept on going as long as I could for you.
00:52:45Well, you're certainly a difficult man to follow.
00:52:54Well, I suppose you think you've been damn clever.
00:52:56Officer, will you tell your prisoner not to insult me, please?
00:52:58You try and stop me.
00:52:59You come along with me.
00:53:00Couldn't you realise I was speaking the truth in that way?
00:53:02You must have seen I was telling you.
00:53:04Well, whether you believe me or not,
00:53:06will you put a telephone call through to the High Commissioner for Canada in London
00:53:09and tell him an enormously important secret...
00:53:11That'll do now.
00:53:11An enormously important secret is being taken out of this country by a foreign agent.
00:53:14I can't do anything myself because of this fool of a detective.
00:53:18Has that penetrated?
00:53:19Right to the funny bone. Now tell me another one.
00:53:21Haven't you any sense at all?
00:53:23Put that call through, I beg of you, and refer them to me.
00:53:26Will you do this?
00:53:28No. Good night.
00:53:30I beg pardon, miss, but we should like you to come too.
00:53:32Whatever for?
00:53:33To identify the prisoner formally.
00:53:35Will you come to the police station?
00:53:36What?
00:53:37It's only for a few minutes.
00:53:38All right, if it's absolutely necessary, let's get it over.
00:53:41Must be the outcome of wise planning.
00:53:56Now you.
00:53:57Must I sit next to this man?
00:53:59It's only for a short time, miss.
00:54:00Well, be as quick as you can.
00:54:05All right.
00:54:16Isn't that the police station?
00:54:17We're running past it.
00:54:18Tell the man.
00:54:19I'm afraid you must have misunderstood me, miss.
00:54:21We're not exactly going to this police station.
00:54:23Well, where are we going?
00:54:24To Inverary, miss.
00:54:26Inverary?
00:54:27Yes, miss.
00:54:28This man's to be questioned by the sheriff's principal.
00:54:30We have orders to take in there direct.
00:54:32But you've no orders to take me.
00:54:33No, miss.
00:54:34But I'm afraid you must go.
00:54:35I'll see you're sent back at the earliest possible moment.
00:54:38Well, how far is it to Inverary?
00:54:39Forty miles.
00:54:40Will you keep quiet?
00:54:41Sorry.
00:54:42We'll be there in less than two hours, miss.
00:54:43Two hours?
00:54:44Do you think I'm going to spend half the night with you all?
00:54:46Looks like it.
00:55:25Isn't the man going the wrong way?
00:55:27That's the way down to the south.
00:55:28Surely that's the way to Inverary.
00:55:29There's a bridge falling down on that road, miss.
00:55:31We shall have to go around.
00:55:33The man knows the way.
00:55:37Might I see your warrant?
00:55:38You shut your mouth.
00:55:39You'll see it soon enough when we get to the station.
00:55:47Would you like to have a small bed with me, Pamela?
00:55:52All right.
00:55:52I'll have it with you, Sherlock.
00:55:53I'll lay you a hundred to one that your sheriff principal
00:55:56has the top joint of his little finger missing.
00:56:00What about it?
00:56:04I win.
00:56:07Hello.
00:56:08What are we stopping for?
00:56:09Oh, it's a whole flock of detectives.
00:56:16There's people all over the road, damn silly things.
00:56:18Get out, Bertie, and clear them away.
00:56:20What about him?
00:56:20I'll soon fix that.
00:56:23There, miss.
00:56:23Now you're a special constable.
00:56:25What's the idea?
00:56:25What are you doing this for?
00:56:26As long as you stay, he stays.
00:56:30Yes, and as long as I go, you go.
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:34Stop them.
00:56:35They've got a way.
00:56:39Come on, my friend.
00:56:40I won't.
00:56:41I won't.
00:56:41I won't.
00:56:41I won't.
00:56:59You're hurting me.
00:57:02You're hurting me.
00:57:04You're hurting me.
00:57:16Where the devil can I have gone?
00:57:37Help! Help!
00:57:39Help!
00:57:40Give me help!
00:57:41Give me help!
00:58:10Give me help!
00:58:13Give me help!
00:58:18One give out of you and I'll shoot you first myself after I mean that.
00:58:41There's nobody down here, I tell you.
00:58:43Come up here, blast you, and don't waste any more time.
00:58:45Spread out and find them.
00:59:05There must be a mile away by now.
00:59:08Don't do that.
00:59:12Oh, do stop whistling.
00:59:15What are you doing all this for?
00:59:17What are you doing all this for?
00:59:17You can't possibly escape.
00:59:18What chance have you got tied to me?
00:59:19Keep that question for your husband.
00:59:21Meanwhile, I'll admit you're the white man's burden.
00:59:23I know, and I can't tell you what comfort that thought gives me.
00:59:26I say, what is the use of all this?
00:59:28Those policemen will get you as soon as it's daylight.
00:59:30They may get me, but they're not policemen.
00:59:31And when did you find that?
00:59:33You found that out yourself.
00:59:34I should never have known that was the wrong road to Inverere.
00:59:36They were taking us to their boss, and God help either you or me if they ever catch
00:59:39us again.
00:59:40I see.
00:59:41You're still sticking to your peri-novelets five-story.
00:59:45There are 20 million women in this island, and I've got to be chained to you.
00:59:49Now, look here.
00:59:50Listen once more.
00:59:51I'm telling you the truth.
00:59:52I told it to you once in the train last week.
00:59:54I tried to tell you after the election meeting this evening.
00:59:56I'm telling it to you now for the third time.
00:59:58There's a dangerous conspiracy against this island, and we're the only people who can
01:00:01stop it.
01:00:02Think what you've seen happen right under your very nose.
01:00:04The gallant knight to the rescue.
01:00:07All right.
01:00:08I'm just a plain common murderer who stabbed an innocent, defenseless woman in the back
01:00:15not four days ago.
01:00:16How do you come out over that?
01:00:17I don't know how innocent you may be, but you're a woman, and you're defenseless, and
01:00:20you're alone on a desolate moor in the dark, manacled to a murderer who'd stop at nothing
01:00:25to get you off his hands.
01:00:26If that's the situation you prefer, have it, my lovely, and welcome.
01:00:29I'm not afraid of...
01:00:32All you know, I may murder a woman a week.
01:00:38So listen to a bit of advice.
01:00:40From now on, do every single thing I tell you to do, and do it quick.
01:00:44Oh, you big bully.
01:00:47I like it, Clark.
01:00:48Come on.
01:00:58We're going in there.
01:00:59What for?
01:01:00That's my business.
01:01:00Now, remember what I said, the civil tongue, or else we're going in there, and you're going
01:01:04to back me up in every single thing I say or do.
01:01:07Has that penetrated the ivory dome?
01:01:09Only just.
01:01:10All right.
01:01:10Pull yourself together.
01:01:11Now, put your hand in my pocket and look as though you're in a hurry.
01:01:13Come along.
01:01:20Oh, come away in, ma'am.
01:01:21Come away in, sir.
01:01:23Oh, the young lady's terrible wet.
01:01:24Oh, yes.
01:01:25We had an accident at our car a few miles, Mac.
01:01:27Oh, yes.
01:01:27You'll be staying the night?
01:01:28Yes.
01:01:29We've just the one room left with the one bed in it.
01:01:32But you'll no be minding that.
01:01:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:01:35Quite the reverse.
01:01:36Your man and wife, I suppose?
01:01:38Oh, yes.
01:01:39Yes.
01:01:40Have you any luggage?
01:01:41No, we left that behind in the car.
01:01:43Oh, maybe I could lend the young lady a nightgown.
01:01:46Will you please to register?
01:01:48Uh, James, the book.
01:01:49Aye, aye.
01:01:50I'll weigh up and light the fire for you.
01:01:52Will you be needing your supples?
01:01:53Oh, no, thank you.
01:01:54Just send up a large whisking soda and a few sandwiches.
01:01:56Oh, and a glass of milk.
01:01:58For very will, sir.
01:02:00I can't write with my left hand, my dear, but I can shoot with it.
01:02:03You can get what's in this pocket.
01:02:04Come on.
01:02:05You shall sign, darling.
01:02:06The sooner you get used to writing your new name, the better.
01:02:10Now, off we go.
01:02:11Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hopkinson, the Hollyhocks, Hammersmith.
01:02:22We're back in a minute, champs.
01:02:23Oh, dear.
01:02:26Oh, dear.
01:02:27That's the old Scotsman, leaving you with whiskey.
01:02:36I'll help you out.
01:02:37I'll help you let us know if you can get up the stairs.
01:02:40I'll help you.
01:02:56I'll help you.
01:03:19I'll help you out.
01:03:19Now, dearie, off with that wet skirt of yours, and I'll have it dried in the kitchen.
01:03:23Oh, don't bother, Italy.
01:03:23It'll dry in front of the fire just as well, thanks all the same.
01:03:27No doubt the gentleman will take care of you.
01:03:30Good night, sir.
01:03:31Good night, ma'am.
01:03:32Good night.
01:03:35Good night.
01:03:39Has he married two of you, do you think?
01:03:41I didn't attend and I didn't care.
01:03:43They're so terrible in love with each other.
01:03:45I tell you, I can't stand it any longer.
01:03:46I'm going to tell them the whole story.
01:03:47You want to hand me for a murder I never committed?
01:03:49As long as they hang you, I don't care whether you committed it or not.
01:03:51Let me go.
01:03:52Do you think I'm going to spend the whole night with you in this room?
01:03:53Of course you are.
01:03:54What else can you do?
01:03:54Come on.
01:03:56Come on, come in, sir.
01:04:02Come in.
01:04:07Oh, we were just getting warm before the fire.
01:04:09I can see that.
01:04:11I thought maybe you'd like this in your bed, sir.
01:04:13Oh, thank you very much.
01:04:14You'd like a hot water bottle, wouldn't you, my sweet?
01:04:15Say, yes, darling.
01:04:17Yes, darling.
01:04:19Very well.
01:04:20I say, please don't go.
01:04:21Why not?
01:04:23Is anything wrong?
01:04:26Of course there's nothing wrong.
01:04:27She wants to tell you something, that's all.
01:04:28We're a runaway couple.
01:04:30I kent it all the time.
01:04:32And they're after you?
01:04:33You won't give us away, will you?
01:04:35Please.
01:04:35Of course we will not give you up.
01:04:38And good night to you both.
01:04:40You'll no be disturbed.
01:04:53Thank God for a bite to eat.
01:04:54Come along.
01:04:56There you are.
01:05:01Now, what's the next item on the program?
01:05:03Get these things off.
01:05:05How are we going to set about it?
01:05:08Anything in that bag of yours would help?
01:05:10A pair of scissors or a hairpin or something?
01:05:13There's a nail file here.
01:05:14Do you think that would help?
01:05:15Easily.
01:05:15It'll take about ten years, but we can dry.
01:05:17Now, let's make ourselves as comfortable as possible.
01:05:18What about that skirt of yours?
01:05:20It's still pretty damp, you know.
01:05:22Don't want to be tied to a pneumonia case on top of everything else.
01:05:25Take it off, I don't mind.
01:05:26I shall keep it on, thank you.
01:05:27And that is that.
01:05:30My shoes and stockings are so good.
01:05:31I think I'll take them off.
01:05:32That's the first sensible thing I've heard you say.
01:05:35Can I be of any assistance?
01:05:36No, thank you.
01:05:37It's all right.
01:05:47Here, hold this.
01:05:48Oh, yes.
01:06:00Half a minute.
01:06:10Um, thank you.
01:06:12You mentioned it.
01:06:12Do you like your milk now?
01:06:14Oh, no, thank you.
01:06:14I'll wait a little.
01:06:15All right.
01:06:17Cheerio.
01:06:21That's better.
01:06:23Now, are your feet quite warm again?
01:06:24Yes, thanks.
01:06:25Oh, come on.
01:06:29Now, will you kindly place yourself on the operating table?
01:06:32All right, all right.
01:06:33Nobody's going to hear to you.
01:06:34This is Armistice Day.
01:06:35Let's get some water.
01:06:36Let's get some rest while we can.
01:06:37I'm not going to lie on this bed.
01:06:38So long as you're chained to me, you'll lie wherever I lie.
01:06:40We're the Siamese twins.
01:06:41Oh, don't gloat.
01:06:42Gloat?
01:06:43Do you think I'm looking forward to waking up in the morning
01:06:45and seeing your face beside me unwashed and shiny?
01:06:48What a sight you'll be.
01:06:50Give me that nail, fellas, if I go at this.
01:06:57There I go again.
01:06:58I wish I could get that damn tune out of my head.
01:06:59I wonder where I heard it.
01:07:03You sound very sleepy.
01:07:05Sleepy?
01:07:05I'll say so.
01:07:07Do you know when I last slept in a bed?
01:07:09Saturday night, whenever that was.
01:07:11Then I only got a couple of hours.
01:07:12What made you wake so soon?
01:07:14Dreams?
01:07:15What do you mean, dreams?
01:07:16I've always been told murderers have terrible dreams.
01:07:19Oh, but only at first.
01:07:21Got over that a long time ago.
01:07:23When I first took the crime, I was quite squeamish about it.
01:07:25I was the most sensitive child.
01:07:27You surprise me.
01:07:28I used to wake up in the middle of the night,
01:07:29screaming, thinking the police were after me.
01:07:31But one gets hardened.
01:07:33How did you start?
01:07:34Oh, quite a small way, like most of us.
01:07:36Pilfering pennies from other children's lockers at school.
01:07:39Then a little pocket-picking.
01:07:40Then a spot of car pinching.
01:07:42Then smash and grab and so on to plain burglary.
01:07:45Killed my first man when I was 19.
01:07:49And in years to come, you'll be able to take your grandchildren to Madame Tussauds and point me out.
01:07:55Which section?
01:07:56Oh, it's early to say.
01:07:57I'm still young.
01:07:59But I'll be there all right in one department or another.
01:08:02Yes, you'll point me out and say,
01:08:04Chicks, if I were to tell you how matey I once was with that gentleman, it would be since the
01:08:08matter.
01:08:09You're pinching my wrist with his handcuffs.
01:08:11Oh, sorry.
01:08:13Talking of Madame Tussauds, that's how it all began.
01:08:15What began?
01:08:16My career of crime, old hereditary, great-uncle Pen Ruddock.
01:08:20Who was he?
01:08:21My good girl, where were you brought?
01:08:23I've never heard of my great-uncle Pen Ruddock, the Cornish Bluebeard.
01:08:27Got it all from him.
01:08:28I thought your family came from Canada.
01:08:30No, that's where they went, after the Pen Ruddock incident.
01:08:34He murdered three wives and got away with it,
01:08:36but his third mother-in-law got the goods on him and tried to have him arrested.
01:08:40Did she succeed?
01:08:41No.
01:08:42He was too quick for her.
01:08:44Took her for a walk to Land's End and shoved her over into the Atlantic Ocean.
01:08:49He's in Madame Tussauds, all right, and there's no doubt about his department.
01:08:53You must go down and see him sometime.
01:08:55Can't mistake him.
01:08:57Third on the left as you go in, red whiskers and a hair lip.
01:09:01And that lady is the sad story of my life.
01:09:05Poor orphan boy who never had a chance.
01:09:09Are you still set on giving me up to the police?
01:09:32You're sure everything's going to be quite all right?
01:09:34Bound to be. He can't have much time.
01:09:36As soon as I've picked up, you know what, I'll clear out of the country.
01:09:41Be careful.
01:09:43Wire to me.

01:10:42Goodbye, Maria.
01:10:43Goodbye, Maria.
01:12:18Is that Professor Jordan's house?
01:12:21Can I speak to Mrs. Jordan then?
01:12:25Is that Mrs. Jordan?
01:12:29Oh, he's gone to London already, has he?
01:12:31If you could manage it, I'd like that whiskey hot.
01:12:33Oh, I'll away and get the hot water.
01:12:35No, he dodged it on the side street and the police went the wrong way.
01:12:38The girl handed him over to us thinking we were detectives.
01:12:41We had to take her as well because he told her everything.
01:12:46Very good, ma'am.
01:12:47I see.
01:12:48Yes, ma'am.
01:12:51Well?
01:12:52The old man's got the wind up.
01:12:54He's cleared out already.
01:12:55Whatever for?
01:12:56Thought it too dangerous with Hannie on the loose.
01:12:59He's warning the whole 39 steps.
01:13:02Has he got the, you know?
01:13:04Yes, he's picking up our friend of the London Palladium on the way out.
01:13:08Yes, yep, Tony.
01:13:09That'll be half a clone.
01:13:11And the phone call?
01:13:12Oh, we'll see you, Shilling.
01:13:20Is, uh, is this a hotel as well?
01:13:23Aye.
01:13:24I mean, do you have people staying here?
01:13:25Aye.
01:13:27I suppose you get a few odd people at this time of the year?
01:13:29Aye.
01:13:31You didn't happen to have anyone in tonight, did you?
01:13:33Aye.
01:13:35They, uh, they weren't by any chance a young couple, were they?
01:13:38James!
01:13:40Merci, Mie!
01:13:41What kind of a silly creature am I married to?
01:13:44Do you want to get us all jailed?
01:13:46How much did you pack for these?
01:13:48Half a clone.
01:13:48Oh!
01:13:53Oot!
01:13:53The pair of you!
01:13:55And dinner let on to anybody that you've got to drink here after hours.
01:13:59Oh!
01:14:09You fool, you wouldn't have given away a young couple, would you?
01:14:13All thanks, Gary.
01:14:24All right.
01:16:03Good morning.
01:16:07It's the idea.
01:16:09How did we get out of these?
01:16:10We didn't, at least you didn't.
01:16:11I slipped out of mine last night and came and camped out here.
01:16:15Why didn't you run away?
01:16:16I did, but just as I was going, I discovered that you'd been speaking the truth.
01:16:21So I decided to stay.
01:16:24May I ask what earthquake caused your brain to work at last?
01:16:27Those two men were in here last night.
01:16:28I overheard them telephoning.
01:16:29What did they say?
01:16:31Oh, a lot of stuff about the 39 steps.
01:16:35You know me?
01:16:35No, go on.
01:16:36Go on.
01:16:37Someone's going to warn them.
01:16:39How can you warn steps?
01:16:40Never mind.
01:16:40Go on.
01:16:41Yes, and there was another thing.
01:16:43Someone's got scared and is clearing out and, oh, yes, yes, I know.
01:16:47And it's picking up someone at the London Palladium.
01:16:50London Palladium.
01:16:53Is that the professor, our friend with the little finger missing?
01:16:56What does he want to go there for?
01:17:03I feel such a fool not having believed you.
01:17:06Oh, that's all right.
01:17:10And, well, we ought to get a move on.
01:17:13What room are those two men in?
01:17:15No room.
01:17:16They went as soon as they telephoned.
01:17:20They what?
01:17:22Didn't I tell you?
01:17:23You let them go after hearing what they said?
01:17:26You button-headed little idiot.
01:17:28Don't talk to me like that.
01:17:29Four or five precious hours wasted.
01:17:31Why didn't you wake me up at once?
01:17:32Even you might have realized that what they said was important.
01:17:34Now, they call these men off.
01:17:35Why not let well alone?
01:17:36Let well alone?
01:17:37My good girl, I'm accused of murder.
01:17:39Can't you realize the only way I can clear myself is to expose these spies?
01:17:42You still can.
01:17:43The man's going to the London Palladium.
01:17:45Really, first house or second house.
01:17:46I'll get there five hours late.
01:17:48Fine.
01:17:48The show will just about suit you.
01:17:49What's that?
01:17:50Crazy month.
01:18:12You're quite right, madam.
01:18:14It's true, the air ministry has got a new thing quite a lot of people are interested in.
01:18:19But they are positive that no papers are missing about it that would be of any use to a spy.
01:18:25But I tell you, I'm quite certain about it.
01:18:27There's a man leaving the country tonight with something.
01:18:29Since you phoned to us from Scotland this morning, we've made the minutest inquiries.
01:18:40It's obvious that I'm waiting my time here.
01:18:42Now, just a moment, miss, please.
01:18:44There's one thing you haven't told us.
01:18:47Where's Richard Hannay?
01:18:52I haven't the faintest idea.
01:18:55Now, look here, monsieur, you can't...
01:18:56You're in the telephone book, aren't you?
01:18:58Yes.
01:18:59Well, if anything cropped up, we'll give you a ring.
01:19:01That'll be all now.
01:19:09Tell Archer and Seagrave to get another taxi and follow that girl.
01:19:13She'll lead us to Hannay, all right.
01:19:57Now, for every exit, and on no account, let anyone leave the building.
01:20:01Now, you two men go in the orchestra pit.
01:20:03Ladies and gentlemen, we shall now sing.
01:20:25Come on, move along there, please.
01:20:29Come on, Tom.
01:20:33Sorry, sir, but no one's allowed to leave the theatre.
01:20:35What's the great idea?
01:20:36Can't a man go out and have a drink?
01:20:37See you, please.
01:20:38I've got a seat in the floor, and I'm just a ring, sir.
01:20:40Can I go through, please?
01:20:40No, thank you.
01:21:09She's seen him.
01:21:10She's on her way down to the store.
01:21:11Come on, sir.
01:21:50May I take your place, please?
01:21:53What are you doing?
01:21:54Listen, I found him, Mr. Menbogs.
01:21:56But you can't do anything about it.
01:21:57I've been to Scotland Yard.
01:21:58Nothing whatever has been stolen from the Amnesty.
01:22:00They're absolutely certain about it.
01:22:01But you heard those men say it got in there, yes.
01:22:05Shall we take him over, sir?
01:22:07I'll wait till the end of it.
01:22:10Well, what are you going to do?
01:22:11There's nothing missing, doesn't it?
01:22:26Hear that tune?
01:22:27It's that damn thing I couldn't get out of my head.
01:22:30Now I know what I heard before, of course.
01:22:32That music hall.
01:22:34Annabella's...
01:22:37Ladies and gentlemen,
01:22:38with your kind attention and permission,
01:22:42I have now the honor to present to you
01:22:45one of the most remarkable men in the world.
01:22:48This is the same, little man.
01:22:49Every day he commits a memory.
01:22:52Fifty new facts.
01:22:54Angry members, every one of them.
01:22:57Facts from history, from geography,
01:23:00from newspapers,
01:23:01from scientific textbooks,
01:23:04millions and millions of them,
01:23:06down to the smallest detail.
01:23:08Test him, ladies and gentlemen.
01:23:10Ask him any questions.
01:23:12I've got it, I've got it.
01:23:13Of course there are no papers missing.
01:23:14All the information's inside memory's head.
01:23:17Mr. Memory.
01:23:18But I still don't understand.
01:23:20Don't you see?
01:23:21The details of that air minister's ticket were borrowed,
01:23:24memorized by this little man,
01:23:25and then replaced before anyone could find out.
01:23:27That's why he is here tonight,
01:23:29to take memory out of the country after the show.
01:23:31But surely some gentlemen here would like to speak to you.
01:23:35Question, please.
01:23:37Question, please.
01:23:38You're in the boat race.
01:23:39Lieutenant Frank Lightingale died.
01:23:41What is the height of the M.I.
01:23:42You're Richard Hannay?
01:23:43Listen, there's something you ought to know.
01:23:44Keep Hannay, come along quietly.
01:23:45Yes, but look here, that man on the star...
01:23:46Hey, don't care, old man.
01:23:47You don't want to cause any trouble
01:23:48and spoil people's entertainment.
01:23:50What is the state of General Gordon's death?
01:23:51Where's the capital of Middle East?
01:23:52What are the 39 steps?
01:23:55Come on, answer up!
01:23:56What are the 39 steps?
01:23:58The 39 steps is an organization of spies
01:24:02collecting information on behalf of the Foreign Office of...
01:24:06Who?
01:24:18For me!
01:24:30Mail!
01:24:31Keep your seats!
01:24:32Keep your seats, please!
01:24:34There's no need for alarm, no cause for alarm.
01:24:37I'm all right.
01:24:38I can assure you of the chair, aren't you?
01:24:39I don't want a chair, no.
01:24:41I don't want a chair...
01:24:41No, I don't want a chair.
01:24:41Let me rest here.
01:24:42I'm all right.
01:24:42Take it easy.
01:24:43Take it easy.
01:24:45Take it easy.
01:24:45Take it easy.
01:24:46I'm all right.
01:24:47Get the girls on straight away.
01:24:51The girls in the doctor right away.
01:24:53Mr. Memory, what was the secret formula you were taking out of the country?
01:25:00Will it be all right, me telling you, sir?
01:25:02It was a big job to learn it.
01:25:04The biggest job I ever tackled.
01:25:06And I don't want to throw it all away, sir.
01:25:08It'll be quite all right.
01:25:10The first feature of the new engine is its greatly increased ratio of compression,
01:25:14represented by R minus 1 over R to the power of gamma,
01:25:17where R represents the ratio of compression and gamma.
01:25:22Seen in end elevation, the axis of the two lines of cylinder,
01:25:27angle of 65 degrees.
01:25:30Dimensions of cylinders as follows.
01:25:34This device renders the engine completely silent.
01:25:39Am I right, sir?
01:25:41Quite right, old chair.
01:25:42Thank you, sir.
01:25:46I'm glad it's off my mind.
01:25:49At last.
