00:00:28You
00:00:39You
00:01:09You
00:01:39You
00:02:08You
00:02:09Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to plead for peace between nations. That man hates his brother man, I believe
00:02:21to be untrue.
00:02:25So we are here tonight to record our profound conviction that only by the creation of goodwill can war be
00:02:38averted and civilization saved.
00:02:46I have here proof that propaganda is poured into country to stimulate armament expenditure.
00:02:58That is the evil we have to crush. Oh, it is difficult. These rogues work within the law. Administrators can
00:03:11do little. The police, nothing.
00:03:15No, sir. Nothing's happened yet. I've taken five men into custody as a precaution. We know nothing about them except
00:03:23their past records.
00:03:24What time will he be finished? Oh, about 10.30, sir. Right. I'll have two squad cars there to meet
00:03:29him.
00:03:43No, sir. Please send these cars away. Oh, but, sir. All these demonstrations frustrate objects of my mission. But, sir,
00:03:50with special instructions.
00:03:50I shall not travel if they accompany me. Well, I think you are very unwise if I say so, sir.
00:03:56Oh, very well if you insist.
00:04:00If they could only realize how much harm they do. I agree, Mr. Brunel, but I was afraid they'd do
00:04:04something like that.
00:04:06If you want to avoid them, I've got my car around in the square behind. But I could not ask
00:04:09you to drive me to Birmingham.
00:04:10I should have driven up in any case. Then I accept your kind offer.
00:04:28I'm sorry, monsieur. It's terribly stupid of me, but I'm afraid I've run short of petrol.
00:04:32Who did, mademoiselle? I've run short of petrol, but we've just passed a garage, so I'll go back and get
00:04:37some.
00:04:37But permit me, mademoiselle. Well, I know the way, so perhaps I'd better go.
00:04:41If you insist.
00:05:06You were not present at the moment of the tragedy. No, I've got to get petrol.
00:05:10You were secretary to the two previous presidents of the World Peace Corps. Yes.
00:05:14Both of whom were murdered. One in Paris, the other in Prague.
00:05:20Oh, excuse me.
00:05:46I'll take that, C4.
00:05:48Now, tell me, did you witness the two former assassinations?
00:05:51No, not actually.
00:05:52In this case, can you describe any of the men?
00:05:55I'm afraid not. I only saw the car dash by.
00:05:58Thank you. Now, you, sir.
00:06:01You are Alton and Longworth of 9 Curzon Street, London, W1.
00:06:04What were you doing on the west road on the night of this occurrence?
00:06:06Oh, just tootling along smoothly, without any fuss, sober and alone.
00:06:10You witnessed the tragedy?
00:06:11Good heavens, no. I just stopped, looked and listened.
00:06:15You left immediately.
00:06:16And an officer reports that you telephoned from an RAC box immediately afterwards.
00:06:19Full marks. I did.
00:06:21Who told?
00:06:21To me, tum tum.
00:06:24I had a message. You wanted to see me.
00:06:25Yes, sir. And I do.
00:06:27Well, who's it done?
00:06:32What are you doing with Alton?
00:06:34Dear old boy, I cannot make these boneheaded gentlemen understand
00:06:37that I was merely too clean along the road, smoothly and...
00:06:40Oh.
00:06:45Notice of a special wireless broadcast coming through at 11.55.
00:06:49For the leader of that society that calls itself the Black Clan.
00:06:51Yes, I know. I did it for a purpose.
00:06:54Well, it's, er...
00:06:55One minute, too, sir.
00:06:57Switch on now.
00:06:58Yes, sir.
00:07:03This is to inform the interested public that an international armament ring is at work endeavouring to create distrust and,
00:07:09if possible, war between the nations of the world.
00:07:13Yesterday, the distinguished president of the Peace Confederation was murdered in order to blacken the name of this country in
00:07:17the eyes of Europe.
00:07:19It's unlikely that the assassin in these days of fast aeroplanes be apprehended.
00:07:23It is for this reason that the Black Clan has come into existence.
00:07:27The Black Clan is determined that, at least in this country, those pests shall be exterminated.
00:07:31The pests in question are asked to take this warning seriously.
00:07:35This is the leader of the Black Clan speaking.
00:07:37I thank you.
00:07:39What you make of that, my kinder?
00:07:41Oh, it's a silly hoax.
00:07:44What do you think, Drummond?
00:07:46Me?
00:07:47I was asleep, I'm afraid.
00:07:51Ask this young lady. I'm sure she was listening attentively.
00:07:54I think that the leader of the Black Clan, or whatever it calls itself, would be wiser not to pit
00:07:59himself against a power whose strength he does not appreciate.
00:08:03It would be a pity if such a well-meaning young man came to any harm.
00:08:07What makes you think he's so young?
00:08:10Well, he apparently hasn't reached the age of discretion.
00:08:18Yes, that's right. Show him up at once.
00:08:21Will you excuse me for a moment?
00:08:23Are you going to do it?
00:08:27Now, Drummond, I'd like you to wait for a moment, if you will.
00:08:30Oh, certainly.
00:08:31Come in, then.
00:08:36Good morning, Mr. Ladder. You want to see me?
00:08:39I do indeed, sir.
00:08:41Look what I received by this morning's post.
00:08:53Now, sir, I look to you for protection.
00:08:55There's a public personage...
00:09:00That's all right, Mr. Ladder. You can speak quite openly in front of Captain Drummond.
00:09:04I hope so.
00:09:05That a person in my position should be subjected to such terrorism is...
00:09:08I appreciate your position, Mr. Ladder.
00:09:10You should be accorded immediate protection, and this matter thoroughly investigated.
00:09:15I... I don't wish to be shattered, Sir Brown.
00:09:17Very well.
00:09:18Then I shall leave the matter in your hands.
00:09:20And good day.
00:09:21Good day.
00:09:27Who's funny face?
00:09:28Mr. Charles Ladder.
00:09:30He's the founder of the Up England Society, et cetera, et cetera.
00:09:33Well, but the Black Clan doesn't seem to care very much about him, do they?
00:09:35So it seems.
00:09:36But I don't know why.
00:09:37He's a man of integrity, lives a bit above his income, but who doesn't?
00:09:40Well, what do you want to see me about, Brown?
00:09:42Well, we've known each other for a number of years, Hugh.
00:09:44I know you're not quite the fool.
00:09:46You'd like some of us to think.
00:09:47Oh.
00:09:48I remember the Peterson affair three years ago.
00:09:51Good old Carl.
00:09:51I'd like to see him again.
00:09:53What do you know about the Black Clan, Hugh?
00:09:56Me?
00:09:57Oh, just the stuff of the newspapers, Fisher.
00:09:59Well, I've no proof, but I've fruid suspicion.
00:10:03That book that broadcasted seemed to have some very sound ideas, didn't he?
00:10:07That was a very clever ruse of your school.
00:10:10Unfortunately, I'm a very retentive memory for voices.
00:10:13As I say, I've no proof.
00:10:15I'm not going to ask you direct questions.
00:10:17Only take advice.
00:10:19Black clams, pink jerseys, green jerseys don't fit in this grey country of ours.
00:10:24They're too picturesque.
00:10:25All right, Tom Tom.
00:10:27If I meet any of your picturesque friends, I'll give them your advice.
00:10:33I say, I believe MacGyver's a member of the Black Clan, cunningly disguised.
00:10:48Did you find out where he went to?
00:10:49Yes.
00:10:50Number five, Green Seed Hoxton, by Jackson.
00:10:52Good, come on.
00:10:59Wait for me, Cabin.
00:11:13Good morning, Mr. Latter.
00:11:15Good morning.
00:11:17How are you?
00:11:18I...
00:11:19I'm very well.
00:11:20They tell me that you have visited the police.
00:11:22What did our friend the commissioner have to say?
00:11:24Oh, very little.
00:11:25I showed him the letter I'd received this morning.
00:11:27Ah.
00:11:28Let me see it.
00:11:29I'm afraid I can't.
00:11:29I left it with him.
00:11:30He asked me to.
00:11:32He's promised me protection.
00:11:33Oh.
00:11:35You know that Zabalaf himself is coming over?
00:11:37Yes, I was told.
00:11:39So, apparently, with the Black Clan.
00:11:42What?
00:11:46Extraordinary.
00:11:52Well, under these difficult circumstances, what do you want me to do?
00:11:55Exactly as arranged.
00:11:57We will speak at Sheffield tomorrow night.
00:11:59Stress France's act of bad faith.
00:12:01Urge the building of two new cruisers.
00:12:03And the need of adequate ammunition supply.
00:12:08Very well.
00:12:09I'll go.
00:12:13When do I get some money?
00:12:19That's on account.
00:12:22Meet Dal Malik.
00:12:23Give him these papers.
00:12:24He'll take them back with him to Europe.
00:12:26Take care of them because they're somewhat incriminating.
00:12:30All right.
00:12:31Well, good day.
00:12:32Good day, Mr. Letter.
00:12:40How do you do?
00:12:45Lost your taxi, Mr. Letter?
00:12:47Yes, I have.
00:12:48I told the fool to wait.
00:12:50I told him to go.
00:12:50What?
00:12:51Seem to be in a waste of money that's so hardly earned,
00:12:53so I've waited to give you a lift.
00:12:54I don't appreciate practical jokes, Mr.
00:12:56Bless my soul, I'm not joking.
00:12:57This is my good turn for the day.
00:12:59Now, don't spoil a good intention.
00:13:01Now, come along, Mr. Letter.
00:13:02With the stake of a little ride, sir.
00:13:12There you are, Mr. Letter.
00:13:13Now, having had your little joke, I suppose you let me get a cab.
00:13:15Where are you going, Mr. Letter?
00:13:17I'm going by train to Sheffield.
00:13:18Sheffield.
00:13:20Oh, Sheffield.
00:13:23Doesn't our genial friend Del Morlick live at Sheffield, Al J.
00:13:25He does?
00:13:26Do you know Mr. Del Morlick, Mr. Letter?
00:13:28I...
00:13:29No.
00:13:29I think you do, Mr. Letter.
00:13:32I'm afraid you're going to miss your appointment.
00:13:35Mr. Del Morlick's left Sheffield with a friend of mine.
00:13:39Did you ever hear of the Black Clan?
00:13:41No, I have.
00:13:43I was in Sir Brown's office when...
00:13:44Yes, well, I'm the boss gangster.
00:13:47The Black Clan came into existence to exterminate creatures like you.
00:13:51Since the war, poisonous reptiles like you have been at work under the cloak of patriotic propaganda,
00:13:57stirring up trouble in this and every other country.
00:13:59Your only purpose being money-beating.
00:14:00This is an outrage.
00:14:01I protest.
00:14:02Now, we believe in making the punishment fit the crime, don't we, Al J.?
00:14:05We do.
00:14:06Well, what do you propose to do with this?
00:14:07Well, I haven't quite made up my mind.
00:14:09Now, look here.
00:14:09This is absolutely absurd.
00:14:10All right, you don't work.
00:14:10That's terrible.
00:14:11Quick.
00:14:12Quick.
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:28I think we'll have a look at this desirable residence by moonlight.
00:14:35Any arms?
00:14:36No, boy.
00:14:42I don't care.
00:14:43I'll show you on the map.
00:14:51I'll meet you there.
00:14:52At a little across.
00:14:54Thank you, old boy.
00:14:54A uniform, of course.
00:14:56Yes.
00:14:56Cheerio.
00:14:57I see.
00:14:57What are you going to do with the specimen?
00:14:58I don't know a man about him.
00:14:59I haven't made up my mind.
00:15:06No, no.
00:15:09I don't know.
00:15:23Go over.
00:15:27I don't know.
00:15:29No.
00:15:29No.
00:15:30No.
00:15:31Let's do this for sure.
00:15:33His plane's just come in.
00:15:39Ryder, the Continental Office is concerned about this attack.
00:15:42Zado, I want you to contradict it.
00:15:44It's just the patriotism of the manufacturers and the employment that it provides.
00:15:48Do the splendid isolation stuff. You know what's wanted.
00:15:51Okay, I know how to tackle that.
00:15:53All right, I'll leave it with you.
00:15:57Hey, is that guy's shoulder up yet?
00:15:59Yes, his plane's just arrived.
00:16:00Yes, I hope we bought some money with him too.
00:16:28You did very well, my dear.
00:16:29Thank you, Carl.
00:16:30Shall we go to the printing room?
00:16:31Oh, yes, excuse me.
00:16:45Excellent. Get it quoted in as many European papers as you can.
00:16:56Tell them to come in.
00:16:57Yes, come in, all of you.
00:17:02Just a moment, Ryder.
00:17:07What do you think of that?
00:17:08Mm, that's good.
00:17:11Very good.
00:17:13Oh, you want more of it?
00:17:16For despite the Brunel incident, another gigantic meeting was held in Manchester last night,
00:17:22protesting against the sale of armaments or private profit.
00:17:26And apparently nothing has been done about it.
00:17:29One other thing.
00:17:30This, uh, this black clan.
00:17:33You are all afraid of them.
00:17:35They are nothing.
00:17:36A lot of foolish young men playing a stupid game.
00:17:41But their exploits appeal to most of the public.
00:17:44And so they must be stopped.
00:17:46Well, how are you gonna do it?
00:17:47No one's ever seen them.
00:17:48That is foolishness.
00:17:50They are not ghosts.
00:17:53What's that?
00:17:55Owls.
00:18:00You must all realize that our business is like any other.
00:18:04The secrecy demanded by our clients makes our advertising campaign all the more necessary.
00:18:09Our European markets are developing splendidly.
00:18:12It is in this country alone that we make no progress.
00:18:15You must make the most of the slightest incident.
00:18:18Otherwise the, uh, how do you say, the bottom will fall out of everything.
00:18:26Stand still, all of you.
00:18:31Search them.
00:18:34Back up with those lights.
00:18:36Okay, now.
00:18:37Good evening, Mr. Rayne.
00:18:41Still laboring in the cause of peace?
00:18:43May I ask the meaning of this masquerade?
00:18:45If you may, I'll explain.
00:18:50Algy, arrange the specimens in a row.
00:18:54Now then, specimens, arrange yourselves into a neat little row.
00:18:58Here we are.
00:19:01Hmm.
00:19:02A nauseating collection.
00:19:04Who are the insects on the right?
00:19:06These gentlemen are my clerks.
00:19:08And what I want to know is...
00:19:09All in good time.
00:19:11Now listen, you worms.
00:19:12My friends and I don't like your type.
00:19:15You meet in secret places and your slimy minds concoct foul schemes.
00:19:20Which, incredible to relate, meet with a fair measure of success.
00:19:24And what you do elsewhere doesn't concern us.
00:19:28But we won't have any Stavisky affairs in this country.
00:19:30We won't tolerate them.
00:19:32Therefore, we are going to make an example of some of you.
00:19:35Algy, take lot four, not the lady, outside and dump them in Fred's car.
00:19:40It's the dirtiest.
00:19:40Right-ho.
00:19:41Come along, specimens.
00:19:43Come on.
00:19:43Out you go.
00:19:43Come on.
00:19:44Take them along.
00:19:44Take them along.
00:19:47Come on.
00:19:48Take them along.
00:19:48That's right.
00:19:49Come on.
00:19:50Out you go.
00:19:50Come on.
00:19:58Do you mind if I sit down?
00:20:00Of course.
00:20:01I'm sorry to have kept you standing so long.
00:20:05Now you two gentlemen are going to leave this country before noon tomorrow.
00:20:08And I hope you'll have the good sense not to return.
00:20:10Otherwise it's going to be very uncomfortable for both of you.
00:20:14And Miss Lorraine, as we don't like fighting ladies, I hope you'll go with them.
00:20:19I should.
00:20:29And as for the rest of you, take my advice and chuck it.
00:20:32You'll get a decent job if anyone will have you.
00:20:36Well, that's all, I think.
00:20:38Right, boys.
00:20:47Good night.
00:20:49Thanks, awfully.
00:20:51Let me help.
00:20:52Stay still.
00:20:53Stay still.
00:21:01I say, Hugh, how about the specimens?
00:21:03Just as arranged.
00:21:04Then we'll go home.
00:21:05Righto.
00:21:06Remove the specimens.
00:21:07Remove.
00:21:08Remove.
00:21:09Remove.
00:21:12I say, dear old boy, we've still got old man Natter.
00:21:16Come on.
00:21:16So we have.
00:21:18So we have.
00:21:20All right.
00:21:21Where is he?
00:21:22Over here.
00:21:23Come on.
00:21:24Come on.
00:21:31Yes.
00:21:32That'll do.
00:21:34Righto.
00:21:35Go.
00:21:35Come on.
00:21:51One.
00:21:53Two.
00:21:55Three.
00:21:57Up she rises.
00:21:59Go.
00:22:00One.
00:22:02Bad duck on the fishes, but there you are.
00:22:17That's the black cleanser.
00:22:18Very likely.
00:22:21This is getting very serious, my guy, though.
00:22:23Natter is a man of great influence.
00:22:25There will be questions asked in the house, I'm afraid.
00:22:26Well, so you see how difficultly.
00:22:28we never know where they're going to turn up nobody ever sees them except their victims and
00:22:31they never seem to be able to identify them i know i know listen to this sir at half past

00:38:55so
00:39:20What are you doing?
00:39:23Limiting accommodation.
00:39:28And if you, Caramir, will spread some of your atrocious knitting over that settee,
00:39:33I think we shall achieve the desired result.
00:39:39Is that what you want?
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:47Drummond's got to sit in this chair.
00:39:49And afterwards, this linen affair has got to be burnt.
00:39:55Be careful you don't touch it.
00:40:02Transioli taught me this little trick.
00:40:05Poor Transioli. Pity he died young.
00:40:17This will dry off in a few moments.
00:40:22I only used it once before, and then I unfortunately used too much.
00:40:27And the patient died.
00:40:30In the right quantities, it induces partial paralysis.
00:40:34One can see and hear or cannot move or speak.
00:40:38What ultimately happens, I don't know.
00:40:40Do be careful, Caramir.
00:40:45Come in.
00:40:50Good morning, sir.
00:40:51Ah, 13.
00:40:53I've got a man coming here shortly, whose voice I shall want you to imitate over the phone.
00:40:59Are we over the phone, sir?
00:41:01Yes.
00:41:02Go into the bathroom and listen to the voice of the man who will sit in that chair.
00:41:06Oh, by the way, have number 10 and Franz arrived yet?
00:41:10Yes, sir. They're waiting downstairs.
00:41:12Good.
00:41:14Oh, Irma, my dear, you haven't heard my latest acquisition, have you?
00:41:17He's really quite remarkable.
00:41:19Imitate me.
00:41:31All right, get up.
00:41:32Very good, sir.
00:41:34Our young friend ought to be here at any moment now.
00:41:43Well...
00:41:49Punctual as ever.
00:41:50But what about his friends? He won't have kept his visit to himself.
00:41:52My dear, you wound me to the quick.
00:41:56Drummond's friends will sleep soundly in their beds tonight,
00:41:59harboring none but the sweetest thoughts of a kindly and much maligned
00:42:04purgement at the Ritz.
00:42:06And now, sit down and knit.
00:42:20Come in.
00:42:24Well, here I am, Carl, on the stroke.
00:42:27Excellent.
00:42:29Oh, there's just one thing I'd like to mention before we come to the fun and games.
00:42:32My friends know I'm here. I hope I make myself plain.
00:42:36You are the soul of lucidity.
00:42:39Well, here are the goods, the old incriminating documents.
00:42:42Well, shall we discuss another subject until Mrs. Drummond arrives?
00:42:45Anything you like, Carl.
00:42:46Do sit down.
00:42:55Very, uh, close today, don't you think?
00:42:59Yes, close.
00:43:03Have a drink.
00:43:05Knocked on your life.
00:43:07It's an unopened bottle.
00:43:26Come on, have one.
00:43:43Good old Carl.
00:43:47Charming room, Carl, old man.
00:43:54I never expected to see you again.
00:43:59Oh, certainly not a charming room.
00:44:04Poor old letter.
00:44:07I did that.
00:44:11Served him right.
00:44:15It seems to have acted excellently.
00:44:18It seems to have acted excellently.
00:44:30Splendid.
00:44:40Number 13.
00:44:42Yes, sir.
00:44:44I want you to telephone Mayfair 2501, using this gentleman's voice.
00:44:51Yes.
00:44:55I want Mayfair 2501.
00:45:00Send this message.
00:45:06Is that you, Algie?
00:45:07Listen.
00:45:07This bloke isn't old Zebelef at all.
00:45:09He's a perfectly respectable pillar of the church.
00:45:13What?
00:45:13Dear old boy.
00:45:15Have you found Phyllis?
00:45:17Phyllis is as right as rain.
00:45:19The whole thing's a boss shot of the first order.
00:45:22Sorry, old man.
00:45:23I couldn't hear you.
00:45:24Oh, Phyllis.
00:45:25Yes, she's as right as rain.
00:45:26The whole thing's a boss shot of the first order.
00:45:29I'll see you later.
00:45:33Give me that.
00:45:34And tell the others to come up.
00:45:36All right, sir.
00:45:43I trust you approve the way our single has started, Captain Drummond?
00:45:49You're a damned interfering louse, aren't you?
00:45:52But you're going to pay for it this time.
00:45:54You and your dear wife.
00:45:56I'm going to be friends.
00:45:58Oh, don't go too near that thing.
00:46:07Shall we stay to see, dear?
00:46:09I don't mind.
00:46:16Ah, my dear friend.
00:46:18How good of you to come.
00:46:19How are you? Better?
00:46:21This way.
00:46:23Is that a thing?
00:46:25I'll ring for you when this gentleman leaves.
00:46:28Come in.
00:46:28Come in.
00:46:32That's right.
00:46:37Lift him up and put him in there.
00:46:44Put the coat on.
00:47:01Is this really necessary, Carl?
00:47:02Absolutely.
00:47:11Has this car been taken away?
00:47:13Yes, sir.
00:47:14Good.
00:47:14Then half an hour for the spiritual solace.
00:47:19And we can send him away.
00:47:22Thank you, my dear.
00:47:26Goodbye, my dear friend.
00:47:27Goodbye.
00:47:28So very charming of you to have come.
00:47:30Take care of him, lift man, won't you?
00:47:32I certainly will, sir.
00:47:58That's him.
00:47:59Okay.
00:48:07Say, how far is it from here?
00:48:09About eight hundred yards.
00:48:11You see the light from the bridge from here?
00:48:12Open the door.
00:48:16All right, Tony.
00:48:17You can manage that from the running ball.
00:48:18Only ride.
00:48:20Say, France.
00:48:20Yes?
00:48:21You go up to the bridge and let us know when a boat's coming.
00:48:23You bet.
00:48:28Well, I'm going back to Maybrick House, where your pretty wife is all tied up.
00:48:34It doesn't matter if he does fall over at the last moment.
00:48:38Boy, it sure seems a shame to smash up to your beautiful car.
00:48:42Miss Halt!
00:48:43There's a boat coming now!
00:48:45Come on, Tony.
00:48:46Now's your chance.
00:48:53Come on, Tony.
00:48:54Keep your strength for the last moment.
00:48:56And don't make any mistakes.
00:48:59Well, he's on his way.
00:49:00A long way.

00:51:02All right.
00:51:05I've been to the bottom. I can't find him.
00:51:22Well, the fellow's well-blind along that street. What can you expect?
00:51:26Well, there's nothing we can do. Let's go.

00:54:20Hugh, what's happened to you?
00:54:22I'm all right.
00:54:23What a fool I was to let them get you.

00:54:35I'm going to miss you.
00:54:56What are you going to do?
00:55:02Come on.
00:55:03We've got to jump for it.
00:55:04Oh, Hugh, we can't.
00:55:05Yes, you can.
00:55:06Come on.
00:55:08Come on, dear.
00:55:09Jump.
00:55:10I'll break your fall.
00:55:11Come on.
00:55:13All right.
00:55:18Come on, quick.
00:55:19Get your heart, Johnny.
00:55:20Come somewhere down with them.
00:55:21I'll do it myself.
00:55:29Go for it.
00:55:34Go on.
00:55:44Come on.
00:55:45Come on.
00:55:48Come on.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:51Come on.
00:55:52Come on.
00:55:54We can't get through the fence.
00:55:55They've turned on the current.
00:55:56If we try, we'll be electrocuted.
00:55:57What are we going to do?
00:55:59I'm going to throw you over.
00:56:00I will.
00:56:02Hugh, I'm not going without you.
00:56:03Keep yourself curled up till you feel you're falling.
00:56:06Come on.
00:56:06I can't.
00:56:07Yes, you can.
00:56:12Are you all right?
00:56:13Yes, I'm all right.
00:56:14Right.
00:56:15Try and get the gang.
00:56:15Get on the phone somehow.
00:56:17I'll give you a good start.
00:56:18All right.
00:56:18I'll do my best.
00:56:19Right you are.
00:56:20Beat it.
00:56:26Roll up.
00:56:27Roll up.
00:56:28All the fun and the fair.
00:56:29No charge for admission.
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:32Try your luck.
00:56:32Have a shite.
00:56:33Have a shite.
00:56:34Have a shite.
00:56:34Have a shite.
00:56:35Is that him, Nicole?
00:56:35Can you hear him?
00:56:36Try your luck.
00:56:39Try your luck.
00:56:40Try your luck.
00:56:42Try your luck.
00:56:42Love him outside.
00:56:47Roll up.
00:56:48Roll up.
00:56:49Don't charge for admission.
00:56:51Come on.
00:56:51Try your luck.
00:56:52Have a shite.
00:56:53No-one.
00:56:59I don't charge.
00:56:59Let go.
00:57:02Get it.
00:57:05Getไธi!
00:57:07Nothing is้ช.
00:57:09Get ํด.
00:57:10All right.
00:57:12Let's go.
00:57:34Stop! Stop! Stop!
00:57:36Excuse me. Can you help me? I wasn't yet...
00:57:39Well, Mrs. Drummond, isn't it?
00:57:40Yes.
00:57:41Certainly I can help you. Get inside.
00:57:43Oh, thank you.
00:57:44Thank you so much.
00:57:44Drive on.
00:57:50Come on, run the other way.
00:57:56Hey! Hey! Hey!
00:58:03Who is it? What do you want?
00:58:05Open the gate, will you?
00:58:06Pardon me, please.
00:58:21Hey, Mr. Bart, that fool Drummond! Come on!
00:58:33Captain Hugh Drummond!
00:58:35Yes, speak up, Carl. I can't hear you.
00:58:38Unless you are in this house within five minutes,
00:58:40I shall personally kill Mrs. Drummond.
00:58:43All right, I'll come.
00:58:50Good evening, Carl.
00:58:54You have a wonderful faculty for remaining alive, my young friend.
00:58:58You're a wonderful faculty for making mistakes, haven't you?
00:59:01Come inside.
00:59:09Come in, Captain Drummond.
00:59:11Your wife is waiting.
00:59:15Where's number ten?
00:59:16He's dead.
00:59:17This guy got him.
00:59:18He got three of the boys.
00:59:20Are you alone?
00:59:21You guessed it, Carl.
00:59:21Alone I did it.
00:59:22Not a bad bag, eh?
00:59:23With Daryl Macaroni as an also-random.
00:59:26Bring him in.
00:59:38My poor darling.
00:59:39I'm all right, Hugh.
00:59:41Well now, what shall we do with them?
00:59:43Finish them, boss.
00:59:44We can bury them in the grounds.
00:59:46Well, that won't do at all.
00:59:47We've got to remember the rest of the gang.
00:59:53No, I have it.
00:59:56You remember my original idea, which unfortunately went astray.
01:00:00I refer to the drowning episode.
01:00:03Your car stood in the river.
01:00:06Your body floated out of it, that's all.
01:00:08Together with your wife's.
01:00:11It's really better that way.
01:00:13I regret, Drummond, the necessity of your wife's sharing your fate.
01:00:17But I see no way out of it.
01:00:20Do I understand where to be taken out and held under water?
01:00:25Are you going to use the bath here?
01:00:27In the very unlikely event of your friends having one.
01:00:29Oh, Hugh, I think I'm going to faint.
01:00:31All right then.
01:00:32Peterson, let me go to my wife.
01:00:35Let him.
01:00:36Darling.
01:00:37Three and two make five, and one make six.
01:00:41Three, two, five, six, Gerrard.
01:00:43They called before miss, but I was cut off.
01:00:45Hello, is that three, two, five, six?
01:00:47Yes, Algie.
01:00:48Gerry, I've been trying to get you for an hour.
01:00:50Can you hear me?
01:00:51Listen.
01:00:52Hugh's in the soup.
01:00:53Peterson's got him.
01:00:54Phyllis phoned from somewhere.
01:00:56She evidently got away all right.
01:00:57Where is he?
01:00:58I know where he is.
01:00:59No time to explain now.
01:01:00Collect your section and meet us at the Ace of Clubs.
01:01:03Right.
01:01:07Brixton, 7443.
01:01:08Yes.
01:01:09Yes.
01:01:11Right-o.
01:01:11Okay.
01:01:12On the job.
01:01:14Right.
01:01:14I'm on my way.
01:01:16Darling, I must fly up.
01:01:17I'm so sorry.
01:01:17Oh.
01:01:18Hello.
01:01:19Yes.
01:01:20What?
01:01:21Yes.
01:01:21I'll be over right away.
01:01:23Yes.
01:01:24All right.
01:01:25I'll be there.
01:01:26Right.
01:01:28Yes.
01:01:29Right.
01:01:29Right.
01:01:30We're halfway there.
01:01:31And now, Captain Drummond, that your wife has recovered,
01:01:35shall we get along with the, uh, with the ceremony?
01:01:40I think your plan's damned unsound.
01:01:42You can't put us in at the bridge without the intelligent Gateman sticking up his toes of it, can you?
01:01:47As you say you're doing it for the movies.
01:01:49Tell him you're Charlie Chaplin and you're dressed in a hurry and forgot your moustache.
01:01:51Ha, ha, ha.
01:01:52Very funny.
01:01:53Let me get at him, Chief.
01:01:54He won't be so funny, then.
01:01:55You?
01:01:56You'll...
01:01:56If they went half a battalion of infantry holding their guns behind my back, I'd break your...
01:02:00...neck.
01:02:00Let us not lose our temper.
01:02:04We're wasting time.
01:02:05Get the water ready.
01:02:07All right, Vance.
01:02:25Do I understand you intend to drown us in this house?
01:02:28Exactly.
01:02:29I confess it sounds rather drastic.
01:02:30You'll try what you like with me, but lay off my wife.
01:02:33Impossible, I'm afraid.
01:02:35It affords me no particular pleasure to have your wife killed, but I have no alternative.
01:02:42Take the woman away.
01:02:43Chief!
01:02:44Chief!
01:02:45Chief!
01:02:47No bullet box, you fool.
01:02:48Ah, Chief.
01:02:49Bring him back.
01:02:58Take the woman away.
01:02:58If you want her, she'll be damned.
01:03:05Stop! Stop!
01:03:09Stop! Stop!
01:03:23Hey! Come on!
01:03:26Wait a minute!
01:03:28Stop!
01:03:29Let us get at him!
01:03:32Captain Robin!
01:03:33I advise you to open this door.
01:03:36Very well. Break it open.
01:03:37Okay, Chief. I'll fix it.
01:03:47Who do you want?
01:03:48Come on!
01:03:50Come on! Run away!
01:03:55That's the idea, boy!
01:03:56Let's blow the door down!
01:03:57Hey!
01:03:59Go!
01:04:01Go!
01:04:02Go!
01:04:08What's next?
01:04:10Those rats!
01:04:11Come on!
01:04:12In the hall!
01:04:13In the hall!
01:04:14In the hall!
01:04:14In the hall!
01:04:15In the hall!
01:04:16In the hall!
01:04:31Thank you, boys!
01:04:33Is anybody hurt?
01:04:34You all right, Hugh?
01:04:35Yes, I'm all right, Algie. Just look after Phyllis a moment.
01:04:40Now, Carl, since you've prepared a bath, you can use it.
01:04:43Take him in there.
01:04:47Stand still, Captain Drummond.
01:04:49Don't move or I'll shoot whatever happens.
01:04:53Quickly, Carl.
01:04:58Come over.
01:04:59Don't worry about me. Go on. You get out.
01:05:03Come on, boys. After him.
01:05:08Somebody stop the dynamo.
01:05:10Dynamo, someone. All right, I'll go.
01:05:15Come on, boys.
01:05:17Quick.
01:05:19Come on, Algie.
01:05:23Carl.
01:05:34Well, that, I think, is the end of the chapter.
01:05:37Tom Tom's welcome to the rest.
01:05:38I don't know how to do it.
01:05:38Kler, we I can't disagree.
01:05:49That's the end, and now it's very nice
01:05:55If you're็ฒ็ at the beginning of this film,
