00:00:06The End
00:00:42The End
00:01:08That's got you
00:01:09Just have a look here
00:01:11Perhaps you've got me
00:01:13Perhaps you ain't
00:01:17What's that?
00:01:18No, no, I'm sure
00:01:25That's your sister
00:01:33A petition
00:01:34Have you heard yet?
00:01:36It was rejected
00:01:43Well, that's that
00:01:49Paul, Paul, listen to me
00:01:51You can't give up hope
00:01:52I haven't
00:01:53Oh, what's the use?
00:01:55Listen, Jeffrey Richmond has arranged
00:01:57What can he do?
00:01:58He's been our best friend
00:01:59through all this horrible time
00:02:01Now he's arranged for me
00:02:02to meet the Home Secretary today
00:02:03Don't you see how different
00:02:05it will be to talk to them personally?
00:02:07I'll make them see that they can't
00:02:11I'm an ungrateful devil
00:02:17I hope she won't be much longer
00:02:18We've got to be at the Home Secretary's office by 12.30
00:02:21I don't think it'll do much good, Richmond
00:02:23Though it was decent of you to arrange the interview
00:02:30How is he?
00:02:31I think he's a little more hopeful now
00:02:34Shouldn't we be starting?
00:02:35Yes, we can just do it
00:02:38Miss Greig, every particle of evidence in this case
00:02:42has been thoroughly shifted
00:02:44finally before the court of appeal
00:02:45There is therefore nothing that can be done
00:02:47to help your brother
00:02:49You must understand that in this matter
00:02:51I am merely the mouthpiece of the state
00:02:53But we're supposed to be civilized
00:02:56Surely there must be some way
00:02:57of stopping the state from committing murder
00:02:59State?
00:03:00Murder?
00:03:01Isn't it murder if the state kills an innocent man?
00:03:04Miss Greig
00:03:06Your brother has been tried and found guilty
00:03:08The court of appeal sustained the original verdict
00:03:11And a petition for reprieve has been rejected
00:03:13There is absolutely nothing to be done
00:03:16The law must take its course
00:03:22I... I have every sympathy, of course, for you
00:03:49Here, Miss Greig, drink this
00:03:51Let me have that
00:03:58Thank you
00:04:00I'm all right now
00:04:04I hope everyone will forgive me for behaving like this
00:04:07Hadn't you better rest longer, Miss Greig?
00:04:10No, thank you
00:04:11I'm perfectly all right
00:04:13Will you take me home now, Neil?
00:04:15You sure you're all right, dear?
00:04:16Yes
00:04:18Only a shame to myself
00:04:22May I lend you my car?
00:04:24No, thank you
00:04:25Neil will drive me
00:04:27Thank you again
00:04:28I wish I could do something that would really help
00:04:30Oh, you've been wonderful, Geoffrey
00:04:39Oh, Mr. Kemp
00:04:40Was that Grey's sister who just went out with those gentlemen?
00:04:44Yes, poor child
00:04:45Fancy such a sweet girl like that having such a fiend for a brother
00:04:50That dreadful knife
00:04:53They say the head was almost severed from the body
00:04:57That will do, Miss Johnson
00:05:07You know, I have the most curious feeling about the Grey case
00:05:11Really, Mr. Kemp?
00:05:12That poor child's faith makes me wonder
00:05:15Whether in spite of all the evidence
00:05:17There could have been a mistake
00:05:20I wish that I had the power to help her
00:05:27Yes, Sir Lionel
00:05:29Close the Barstow fires today
00:05:31Yes, sir
00:05:31Has Inspector Chan arrived?
00:05:34No, sir, Mr. Chan is not here yet
00:05:36Excuse, please
00:05:39Observe a humble presence
00:05:40Oh, I beg your pardon
00:05:43Sir Lionel, Mr. Chan has just come in
00:05:45Show him in at once
00:05:46Certainly, Sir Lionel
00:05:48I'm sorry, I'm afraid I didn't hear you come in
00:05:51Excuse silent movement
00:05:53Habit of profession
00:05:54Yes
00:05:55If you will come with me, the Home Secretary will see you immediately
00:05:58Thank you so much
00:06:02Inspector Chan, Sir Lionel
00:06:07Was that the Chinese detective who caught Barstow in Honolulu and brought him over here?
00:06:12Yes, a wonderful piece of detective work
00:06:14The British government, Mr. Chan, is therefore very deeply indebted to you
00:06:19Much honoured to be of humble service to British Lion
00:06:23It's remarkable, Mr. Chan, how you ever suspected Barstow
00:06:28He puts up an excellent front
00:06:30The front seldom tell truth
00:06:33To know occupants of house
00:06:35Always look in backyard
00:06:38Provided there is one
00:06:40Excuse
00:06:40Every front has back
00:06:43And little things tell big story
00:06:46Even in this room
00:06:48Why, what do you mean?
00:06:50Today
00:06:51You have had most distressing interview
00:06:54With lady
00:06:56Much disturbed lady
00:06:59Who is very anxious
00:07:00That's quite true
00:07:02How did you arrive at that?
00:07:08Observe, please
00:07:11Tearing hands
00:07:13Suggest torn heart
00:07:14You certainly have sharp eyes, Mr. Chan
00:07:18Humble eyes have much practice
00:07:20It just bears out what our chief inspector of the police told me today
00:07:24We were speaking of the Martin case
00:07:26He said no other detective in the world could have solved it
00:07:30Extravagant praise
00:07:32But thank you so much
00:07:34And now, Mr. Chan
00:07:35Perhaps you'll tell me
00:07:36If there's anything we can do to assist you
00:07:38In your journey back to Honolulu
00:07:39Very grateful
00:07:41But all passport mysteries have been solved
00:07:46Hello
00:07:48Nightbridge 4243
00:07:50Miss Gray, please
00:07:53Oh
00:07:55This is Sir Lionel Bashford's private secretary speaking
00:07:58Would you ask Miss Gray to call me immediately
00:08:01She returns
00:08:03Thank you
00:08:04Yes

00:09:01I implore you at least to listen to me
00:09:06Please to enter
00:09:07Please to enter
00:09:12Mr. Chan
00:09:13I'm in the most terrible trouble
00:09:15There's nobody in London
00:09:17Nobody in the world who can help me except you
00:09:19Hmm
00:09:20World is large
00:09:22E
00:09:22Lonely Chinaman
00:09:24You must help me

00:09:34You...
00:09:35You know this trouble?
00:09:36Yes
00:09:37Yes
00:09:38My name is Howard
00:09:38Neil Howard
00:09:39Miss Gray and I are engaged to be married
00:09:41Oh
00:09:43That is good
00:09:46If you will honor the other room with your presence
00:09:49You stay here and rest
00:09:50You stay here and rest dear
00:09:50I'll explain everything to him
00:09:52I'll explain everything to him
00:09:57Thank you
00:10:03Excuse please
00:10:04But I must catch strain
00:10:06You talk
00:10:08I listen
00:10:10Begin at best place
00:10:12Beginning
00:10:14You must have read in the papers about the stable murder case
00:10:17Only headlines
00:10:19Miss Gray is Paul Gray's sister
00:10:21His only relative in fact
00:10:23That is bad
00:10:25I can use the facts very briefly
00:10:27The murder was committed three months ago
00:10:29In the stables of a Mr. Richmond's country house in Redfordshire
00:10:33Gray was Richmond's hunt secretary
00:10:35Hamilton was the murdered man
00:10:37He was a weekend guest
00:10:38At the trial
00:10:39The circumstantial evidence against Gray was overwhelming
00:10:42But his sister is utterly convinced of her brother's innocence
00:10:45And therefore she thinks that
00:10:47One moment please
00:10:48You are
00:10:49Oh
00:10:49I should have explained
00:10:50I am a barrister
00:10:52What you would call an attorney
00:10:53I defended Gray at the trial
00:10:56You have appealed case?
00:10:58Yes
00:10:59But in England there is only one appeal
00:11:01Gray's was rejected
00:11:03He is to be hanged in three days
00:11:06Then only way to save brother
00:11:08Is to prove someone else real murderer
00:11:11Exactly
00:11:12And find him before nine o'clock on Friday morning
00:11:16Now
00:11:17Now
00:11:18Now four o'clock Tuesday
00:11:21Only
00:11:2165 small hours
00:11:25Lady's faith in powers of humble self
00:11:27Most puzzling
00:11:29Detective cannot work miracle
00:11:31Yet a miracle is the only thing that could save him
00:11:36One question please
00:11:38Very important
00:11:39Do you yourself believe brother innocent?
00:11:46Well, uh
00:11:47Is that question necessary?
00:11:50Please
00:11:58Please
00:11:59Please
00:12:00You believe brother innocent?
00:12:05No
00:12:06Of course I
00:12:09You
00:12:09Pamela
00:12:10Don't try to excuse yourself
00:12:12I never want to see you again
00:12:17Pamela, wait
00:12:18Hey there's a wish
00:12:47There are great
00:13:12Well, it's been a great season, Jardney, don't you think?
00:13:15Yes. I'm sorry it's nearly over.
00:13:17So am I.
00:13:18You don't know how swell it is to be back here again.
00:13:21You Americans mustn't get too keen on hunting or there'll be no foxes left for us.
00:13:26Or horses either. What?
00:13:28I didn't say anything.
00:13:30Where's the meat on Thursday?
00:13:32Here. That means a good day and just the country that suits Hellcat.
00:13:36By the way, Mary, I've decided that you're not to ride that mare again.
00:13:39She's nappy, isn't she, Jardine?
00:13:43Definitely. Not a woman's horse.
00:13:45Reluctantly compelled to agree.
00:13:48The mare's inquisible.
00:13:51Hmm.
00:13:53Inquisible.
00:13:54She's mine and the best hunter in the country.
00:13:58Who are you to give me orders, anyway?
00:14:01Your future husband, darling. Had you forgotten?
00:14:04Listen.
00:14:05I'll give you a word of advice.
00:14:09Never get married.
00:14:11Bunny, please be quiet.
00:14:15See what I mean?
00:14:17Well, in spite of advice, I'm still going to marry you.
00:14:20And in a month, you'll do as I tell you.
00:14:23You're just a bully.
00:14:25I'll go and find someone who really appreciates me.
00:14:29And I'll help you.
00:14:32May I have a word with you, sir?
00:14:33What is it, Phillips?
00:14:35I agree with Richmond on two counts.
00:14:38One, you're adorable.
00:14:40Jerry, please.
00:14:41Two, you shouldn't ride that mare.
00:14:43She's crazy.
00:14:46Another bully.
00:14:47I can't bear the thought of your ever being hurt.
00:14:49Gouton excuse us a moment, will you?
00:14:51Certainly.
00:14:52What's the matter, Geoffrey?
00:14:53Pamela's here. She wants to see us at once.
00:14:55I wonder what's happened.
00:15:01Pamela.
00:15:02Mary.
00:15:03What's the matter, Pamela?
00:15:04Oh, I hope you don't mind my coming here like this.
00:15:06Oh, my dear child, you couldn't have done anything better, could she, Mary?
00:15:09Why, of course not.
00:15:11I feel as if the bottom had dropped out of everything.
00:15:13But what's happened, Pam?
00:15:15Neil thinks Paul's guilty.
00:15:16What?
00:15:17Oh, it's impossible.
00:15:19Why, at the trial, he...
00:15:20He's never believed Paul was innocent.
00:15:22And today he told someone who might have helped.
00:15:25And now I've got to start all over again.
00:15:28Oh, my dear.
00:15:30Geoffrey, what can we do?
00:15:31My dear, don't worry.
00:15:32We'll think of something.
00:15:33I tell you what.
00:15:34You take her upstairs.
00:15:36Give her the restroom.
00:15:37Then we'll get rid of everyone who isn't staying as quickly as we can.
00:15:40Yes, and then the three of us will talk this thing over properly.
00:15:42Come on, dear.
00:15:53Oh, Phillips.
00:15:54Sir?
00:15:55Miss Gray is staying.
00:15:57She will have the restroom.
00:15:58Yes, sir.
00:15:58See to it that she's not disturbed on any account.
00:16:00Very well, sir.
00:16:14Good evening.
00:16:16Miss Gray is here?
00:16:18Miss Pamela Gray?
00:16:20Miss Gray has retired.
00:16:21If you wish to see her, you must return in the morning.
00:16:24Highly important.
00:16:25I see her now.
00:16:26Miss Gray has retired.
00:16:27There are strict orders.
00:16:28She's not to be disturbed.
00:16:29Return in the morning.
00:16:36Thank you so much.
00:16:38Thank you, sir.
00:17:16Have a nice cup of tea, miss.
00:17:18It'll make you feel ever so much better.
00:17:21No, I don't want anything.
00:17:23Not a nice hot cup of tea, miss.
00:17:25Oh, do.
00:17:28Please leave me alone.
00:17:42Ah!
00:17:43Saints alive!
00:17:49Excuse, please.
00:17:50Mr. Chair!
00:17:51Don't let him get his hands on you, miss!
00:17:53Don't be stupid, Perkins.
00:17:54I know the gentleman.
00:17:55Now go, please.
00:17:58And don't say anything to anyone.
00:18:03A thousand apologies.
00:18:06Unceremonious entry due to butler's doubts of humble self.
00:18:10But why are you here?
00:18:12I have seen your brother.
00:18:14And you believe?
00:18:15That what you think may be truth.
00:18:17Then you are going to help?
00:18:19Humble endeavors will be in that direction.
00:18:24Mr. Phillips!
00:18:25Mr. Phillips!
00:18:26We'll all be dead in our beds.
00:18:28What's the meaning of this conduct?
00:18:30Well, we do.
00:18:31There's an horrible, murdering man climbing all over the house.
00:18:34Have you been drinking?
00:18:36I have not!
00:18:37Didn't I see him with me own eyes climbing into Miss Gray's window?
00:18:40What?
00:18:40Swear up me, it's the truth!
00:18:42And he's hypnotizing you!
00:18:45I think most of the people are just trying to try out here.
00:18:48Hmm.
00:18:52There's Mr. Richmond.
00:18:56Oh, Phillips, take Mr. Chair into the study.
00:18:58Very well, madam.
00:18:59Come on.
00:19:03This way, please.
00:19:06Thank you so much.
00:19:09Hello there.
00:19:10Oh, hello.
00:19:11I say, what about a little drink?
00:19:13No, thanks, Bunny.
00:19:15Well, what about committing a slight spot of hoppery?
00:19:18Sorry, Bunny. She's dancing with me.
00:19:20What, again?
00:19:21Oh, Bunny, please be quiet.
00:19:27Can't we sit this one out?
00:19:28I want to talk to you.
00:19:30I thought you wanted to dance.
00:19:31I just wanted to be with you.
00:19:33That's all.
00:19:34I wish you wouldn't go on like this, Jerry.
00:19:36I can't help myself.
00:19:38You're so...
00:19:38Please, Jerry.
00:19:56What's the matter, dear?
00:19:57I'll explain later.
00:19:58We've got to get everyone here who gave evidence at Gray's trial into the study.
00:20:01Will you get rid of the rest, darling?
00:20:03Make any excuse for getting rid of them while I collect the others?
00:20:05Yes, dear.
00:20:10And now you all know who Mr. Chan is and why he's here.
00:20:14And I feel certain that you'll all give him every possible assistance.
00:20:17All right.
00:20:19Thank you so much.
00:20:21If you will all sit, please.
00:20:29Now, please, if Mr. Gray not guilty, then some other person is murdering.
00:20:38The only method to save Mr. Gray is to find this other quick in 57 hours.
00:20:47Now, please, tell briefly events of sad night.
00:20:54Well, after dinner, Gray came in here and Hamilton followed.
00:20:58Please excuse.
00:20:59They both live in this house?
00:21:01No.
00:21:02Paul Gray was my hunt secretary and stayed here during the hunting season.
00:21:05But Captain Hamilton was just down for the weekend.
00:21:09Captain?
00:21:10Hamilton was soldier?
00:21:12No.
00:21:12Air Force.
00:21:13But he and Gray had never got on very well together.
00:21:16They were always...
00:21:17Excuse, please.
00:21:19Ancient history not necessary.
00:21:21Sorry.
00:21:22On the night of the murder, Hamilton followed Gray into this room.
00:21:27There was no one else here.
00:21:28But they were heard quarrelling violently.
00:21:30Who heard?
00:21:31Mr. Fothergill, Major Jardine, and Mr. Garton.
00:21:35That's right.
00:21:36Devil were around.
00:21:37Hamilton shouting.
00:21:39Gray shouting.
00:21:40Sounded like a politi...
00:21:42A poli...
00:21:43A political demonstration.
00:21:47Bunny, please sit down.
00:21:50Thank you so much.
00:21:53Other witness, please?
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:56They were quarrelling all right.
00:21:57I heard them from the hall.
00:21:59It was about that chorus girl.
00:22:02Excuse, please.
00:22:03Only events.
00:22:04Sorry.
00:22:07And third witness.
00:22:19Where's Garton?
00:22:21He wasn't anywhere about.
00:22:23I sent Phillips to look for him.
00:22:25Where could he have gone?
00:22:27Do you want to wait?
00:22:29No.
00:22:30Time is enemy here.
00:22:32I think Mr. Jardine...
00:22:35can tell events that took place after quarrel.
00:22:39Well, I...
00:22:41I, um...
00:22:42I thought I'd better stop the row before any of the women heard.
00:22:45I was just outside the door.
00:22:47Father Gill was behind me.
00:22:49That's right.
00:22:51Continue, please.
00:22:53Through the door I heard Hamilton say...
00:22:55Remember what I've told you.
00:22:57And then Gray shouted something.
00:23:00And then I heard those windows...
00:23:02opening and slamming shut.
00:23:04Yes.
00:23:05You enter?
00:23:06No.
00:23:08Obviously one of them had left the room and I...
00:23:11I decided to mind my own business.
00:23:14Admirable British quality.
00:23:19And, uh...
00:23:20Next event, please.
00:23:21Oh, two hours later...
00:23:22Garton and Jardine went over to the stables...
00:23:24and found Hamilton's body.
00:23:26As they were walking over...
00:23:27Garton noticed Gray coming back towards the house.
00:23:30I wonder where the deuce Garton is.
00:23:34Why were you going to stable so late at night?
00:23:38One of Garton's horses was sick.
00:23:41We were going to have a last look at it before going to bed.
00:23:43I understand.
00:23:44I understand.
00:23:45Then nobody see Hamilton alive...
00:23:48after bang of window?
00:23:50No.
00:24:28I haven't been able to find Mr. Garton, sir...
00:24:31but I'll continue to look for him.
00:24:34So much.
00:24:55There is something which belongs here.
00:25:00Is it twin of this?
00:25:01Yes.
00:25:06And murderer used missing knife?
00:25:09It was lying by the body.
00:25:11The police have it now.
00:25:13I see.
00:25:14There were fingerprints?
00:25:16No.
00:25:17It was maintained that Gray wore gloves.
00:25:20Strange that crime of passion...
00:25:23should be committed with gloved hand?
00:25:25Yes.
00:25:26But the prosecution held that this was a premeditated crime.
00:25:29And unfortunately, a pair of gloves was found in...
00:25:31Wait, please.
00:25:32If Mr. Gray, not murderer...
00:25:35must forget all evidence at trial...
00:25:38no time to expose lies...
00:25:41must expose truth.
00:25:44Now, please...
00:25:46would much like everybody to go with me to stables.
00:25:49Stables?
00:25:50What for?
00:25:51Crime to be reconstructed.
00:25:54Method of French police.
00:25:56Sometime very good.
00:26:08Garton was over there...
00:26:09when he saw Gray disappear behind that hedge.
00:26:14And...
00:26:14where was body found?
00:26:17In the stables near the end box.
00:26:19I see.
00:26:20Please.
00:26:21In absence of Mr. Garton...
00:26:23you and Mr. Jarden...
00:26:25help proceed with reconstruction.
00:26:27Certainly.
00:26:28Jardine.
00:26:34Let us proceed.
00:26:37Humbly suggest you be Hamilton...
00:26:39you be murderer.
00:26:41Seems like a lot of childish nonsense to me.
00:26:43Look here, Richmond.
00:26:44Do we really have to do this?
00:26:46Mr. Chan is in charge, Jardine.
00:26:48Maybe I not clear.
00:26:49Crime to be...
00:26:51Yes, I understand.
00:26:51I understand.
00:26:52Thank you so much.
00:26:56Here, here.
00:26:57What's all this?
00:26:58All right, Lake.
00:27:00Go back to bed.
00:27:01Very well, sir.
00:27:02Beg pardon, sir.
00:27:06Who?
00:27:07That's Lake, my stud groom.
00:27:09Regret.
00:27:10Do not understand English.
00:27:12Only American.
00:27:13Well, he's my chief groom.
00:27:15My head lad.
00:27:17Bus, horseman.
00:27:19Oh, ha!
00:27:20I catch him.
00:27:22And now?
00:27:24Well, what the deuce?
00:27:25Only knife from study.
00:27:27You are murderer.
00:27:29You are Hamilton.
00:27:31Kindly go into stable.
00:27:32Right.
00:27:36Please take.
00:27:37Oh, look here.
00:27:38This is outrageous.
00:27:39Take knife, please.
00:27:47Now, you go in.
00:27:49Pretend to strike as prosecution say real Hamilton was struck.
00:27:53Then leave knife where you find real knife.
00:28:10Now, please, proceed with murder.
00:28:26Oh, steady.
00:28:27Oh, steady.
00:28:27Oh, steady.
00:28:28Oh, steady.
00:28:29I say, come to get out of here and do it somewhere else.
00:28:31See what your Noxus has done.
00:28:33What troubles the noble animal?
00:28:36Oh.
00:28:37Steady!
00:28:38Lake!
00:28:39Yes, lake!
00:28:40Steady!
00:28:40Oh, steady.
00:28:42Steady.
00:28:43Oh, steady.
00:28:48What's all the noise, you old cow?
00:28:51That's Lady Mary Bristol's horse.
00:28:52See what happens with your pullery?
00:28:55Why, you might have gone...
00:28:56That'll do, Jardine.
00:28:57Hellcat will be quiet now that Lake's here.
00:28:59He can do anything with her.
00:29:01Control of noble animal by lowly man.
00:29:06Most interesting.
00:29:11That light, it was on when you find body of Hamilton?
00:29:15No.
00:29:16Garton switched it on after.
00:29:17Then not on now.
00:29:22If you think I'm going through with this tomfoolery now...
00:29:25The thing we can do is to follow instructions.
00:29:27Oh, all right, all right.
00:29:33I wonder if they've forgotten all about us.
00:29:36I wonder.
00:29:37Hmm?
00:29:41Come on, Jardine.
00:29:41Come on, Jardine.
00:30:01Oh, Betty, please be quiet.
00:30:06Look here, I've had enough of this.
00:30:08Please.
00:30:09Now drop knife in place where you find other knife.
00:30:21That is right?
00:30:23Yes.
00:30:35Please rise.
00:30:40When can I do something?
00:30:43What's going on here?
00:30:45I'll explain.
00:30:47It's the reconstruction of the crime.
00:30:50No, the reconstruction of the crime.
00:30:54You know, it's French.
00:30:56Practically infallible.
00:30:57You know, you act what's happened and then you know who's done it.
00:31:01See?
00:31:01Oh, Bunny, please.
00:31:03Bunny, don't!
00:31:04Where have you been, Jerry?
00:31:06Just walking.
00:31:07Then in my room.
00:31:09Heard an awful rag in the stables.
00:31:11What horse is cutting up?
00:31:13Hellcat, she always gets like that, you know, if Lake isn't with her.
00:31:16Where have you been?
00:31:17We've been looking all over the place for you.
00:31:20This is Mr. Garton.
00:31:21Do you want to speak to him?
00:31:22Not now.
00:31:23All this is finished.
00:31:25Right.
00:31:25Well, shall we go back?
00:31:26Wait, please.
00:31:27One question.
00:31:29Mr. Gray was secretary to Hunt.
00:31:32Is there new secretary?
00:31:34Yes, Major Jardine.
00:31:36Oh.
00:31:37Please, take ladies and gentlemen back to house.
00:31:40I stay here.
00:31:41On to something?
00:31:43Want to talk to number one horse boy.
00:31:46Right.
00:31:47Can you find your way back?
00:31:48Yes, thank you.
00:31:50All right, everybody.
00:31:51Come along.
00:31:51Mr. Chan will join us when he's ready.
00:32:10Excuse me, please.
00:32:11What do you want?
00:32:12Well, I am very curious man.
00:32:15I ain't got no time to waste answering questions.
00:32:18I got my sleep to get the same as other people.
00:32:20It is our last question which prevents sleep.
00:32:23What are you trying to do?
00:32:26We don't like foreigners messing around here.
00:32:28Englishmen, mind-owned business.
00:32:31Not always Chinamen.
00:32:33If you've got anything to ask me, ask me and get it over.
00:32:37Not as our own, sir.
00:32:39Three questions only.
00:32:41Very simple.
00:32:43First, you were here upstairs in your apartment when murder was done?
00:32:50Apartment.
00:32:52That ain't no blooming apartment.
00:32:53That's me loose box.
00:32:55You were in this, uh, box when murder was done?
00:33:00No.
00:33:01Why don't you read the newspapers?
00:33:02I wasn't here because it was me night off.
00:33:05I was out, see?
00:33:06With me girls, see?
00:33:08I can prove it.
00:33:09I did prove it.
00:33:10I understand.
00:33:11You make a holiday.
00:33:15Now, second question.
00:33:17This noble animal, he was here in same place on night of murder?
00:33:23If you mean Elkett, she's a mare.
00:33:26Yes, of course she was here.
00:33:28She's always here.
00:33:30What of it?
00:33:31I see.
00:33:34Third question.
00:33:37You did not then see the body of Hamilton lying there?
00:33:42I tell you, I wasn't here.
00:33:43I was out.
00:33:45It was my night off.
00:33:46Ain't that enough for you?
00:33:48Yes.
00:33:49Enough for present.
00:33:52Perhaps more later.
00:33:54Thank you so much.
00:34:12Mr. Chan, tell me, have you found out anything?
00:34:15Yes.
00:34:17Something I do not understand.
00:34:20What is it?
00:34:21You were in house here the night Hamilton is killed?
00:34:26Yes, I was here for the weekend.
00:34:28Why?
00:34:30Did anyone in house hear noise from noble animal the night of murder?
00:34:35Oh, you mean a horse cutting up?
00:34:39No.
00:34:40I remember no noise.
00:34:42I haven't heard anyone else say there was.
00:34:45Perhaps it wouldn't be heard.
00:34:46Oh, yes.
00:34:47Mr. Garton hear noise from house just now.
00:34:50Really?
00:34:52No noise was mentioned at trial?
00:34:55No.
00:34:57Very good.
00:34:59Tell me what all this means, please.
00:35:02Don't you realize there's less than three days before...
00:35:04I know.
00:35:05I will tell you.
00:35:07Certain noble animal, cat of hell, always cut up when strangers near,
00:35:14unless lake is present.
00:35:16But noble animal make no noise when Hamilton killed outside its apartment.
00:35:23Oh, I see.
00:35:25Yes.
00:35:27Yes, the lake was supposed to be out that night.
00:35:30Oh, Mr. Chan, have you spoken to him?
00:35:32A little, but enough.
00:35:34What did he say?
00:35:35Many words meaning nothing.
00:35:37Except that he is afraid.
00:35:39You mean you think he is really the...
00:35:41Thoughts are like noble animal.
00:35:45Unchecked, they run away, causing painful smash-up.
00:35:49But what are you going to do?
00:35:51Aren't you going to see him now and make him tell?
00:35:54No.
00:35:56Later, after sunrise.
00:35:58But why waste time?
00:36:00Oh, please, don't you see how little time there is?
00:36:02Why must we wait?
00:36:05Lake now with himself.
00:36:09Alone.
00:36:10He thinks.
00:36:13He is afraid.
00:36:15He will be more afraid.
00:36:19More fear, more talk.
00:36:22More talk, more chance for us.
00:36:29What else can you expect but to have your throat cut
00:36:32when there's murdering men climbing all over the house?
00:36:35Roger said he looked like a nice, kind gentleman.
00:36:39Kind?
00:36:40He's a-sneaking, murdering...
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:44Look at him now!
00:36:46Creeping about!
00:36:50Why did he leave the house at six
00:36:52and pretend he wasn't coming back till afternoon?
00:37:05...
00:37:32Feeding.
00:37:34Feeding.
00:37:35What are you doing down here?
00:37:37What I am asked to do.
00:37:39You mean you're helping Pam, Miss Gray?
00:37:42That is humble endeavor.
00:37:44But may I return the question to give her?
00:37:48What do you do here?
00:37:50Well, I... I wanted to see Pamela.
00:37:53But I was thrown out.
00:37:54Thrown out?
00:37:56I mean, she wouldn't see me. She gave orders.
00:37:58But you're still here.
00:38:01Yes, I...
00:38:02Yes, like the fool that I am.
00:38:05I...
00:38:06Oh, what's the use of trying to explain?
00:38:08You wouldn't understand.
00:38:12No.
00:38:13There are many things I do not understand.
00:38:44What do you want?
00:38:45To see, please, Mr. Lake, and talk to him.
00:38:49You can see him, but you can't talk to him.
00:39:00How this?
00:39:02Suicide.
00:39:02And what's it got to do with you?
00:39:04There's no need to take that tone, Thacker.
00:39:07This is Mr. Chan.
00:39:08He's staying with me.
00:39:10He's a detective himself.
00:39:12Chan, this is Detective Sergeant Thacker of the county police.
00:39:14He's delighted to meet.
00:39:15How are you?
00:39:17What on earth induced Lake to kill himself?
00:39:20When you talked to him last night, did he...
00:39:22One moment, please.
00:39:54Yes, it is all there.
00:39:58Nearly good imitation.
00:40:01Imitation?
00:40:02What do you mean?
00:40:03Murder.
00:40:06Murder?
00:40:07Murder.
00:40:07Mr. Chan enjoys his joke.
00:40:10Murder, not very good joke.
00:40:13Quite unfunny.
00:40:15I don't understand what your idea is.
00:40:17No idea.
00:40:19Facts.
00:40:20Little things tell story.
00:40:24See?
00:40:26Money talks.
00:40:28What are you driving at?
00:40:31Man in lowly station
00:40:33does not kill self when possessing much money.
00:40:38Aren't you rather jumping at conclusions?
00:40:41No.
00:40:42Conclusions jump at me.
00:40:45Note man's hand.
00:40:49Observe.
00:40:51Gun held with finger on trigger.
00:40:55But death wound in center of brow.
00:41:00Only way to make that wound, use thumb on trigger.
00:41:05So.
00:41:06By Jove, you're right.
00:41:08To make that wound with finger on trigger?
00:41:13Impossible.
00:41:15But who on earth would want to murder Lake?
00:41:17Answer to that question, highly desirable.
00:41:21I see what you are driving at, Mr. Chan.
00:41:24You mean it wasn't suicide.
00:41:26That was a humble deduction.
00:41:29I must make a note of this.
00:41:31That's our method here.
00:41:32Make notes of everything.
00:41:34Large sum of money, wound, center of forehead.
00:41:42I humbly suggest only authority should know this, not suicide.
00:41:47I don't quite understand.
00:41:50Let murderer feel safe.
00:41:53That's a good idea.
00:41:54Dead against regulation, sir.
00:41:57I'll have to take this up with the chief constable.
00:41:59Oh, it's all right.
00:41:59I'll speak to him.
00:42:00He'll understand.
00:42:03Hello, Jeffrey.
00:42:04Hello.
00:42:04They told us in the stables about poor Lake.
00:42:07Awful thing.
00:42:08Anything we can do?
00:42:09No, nothing, thanks.
00:42:09Everything's been done.
00:42:11Might have said he was the last fellow in the world to kill himself.
00:42:14But you're sure we can't help?
00:42:15No, I'm quite sure, thanks.
00:42:16Everything's been taken care of.
00:42:22I've noted it all down, Mr. Chang.
00:42:25Thank you so much.
00:42:43Oh, Mr. Phillips.
00:42:45What do you want?
00:42:46Have they told you about Lake?
00:42:50I heard that the unfortunate man committed suicide.
00:42:53Suicide or not, it's death.
00:42:56Don't forget the words of Alice Perkins.
00:42:58There'll be death in this house until we get rid of that creeping, murdering, foreign man.
00:43:04This is no time for gossip.
00:43:06Go on about your work.
00:43:07Who's gossiping?
00:43:10Oh, Phillips.
00:43:11Yes, madam?
00:43:12Have you seen Mr. Chang?
00:43:13No, madam, I have not.
00:43:14But, uh, lawly Chinaman here.
00:43:18No!
00:43:19Saints alive!
00:43:22Oh, really, madam.
00:43:23I had no idea the, uh, gentleman was here.
00:43:27A habit of being sometimes invisible.
00:43:30Very useful.
00:43:32Oriental, not British.
00:43:34Is there anything further that you require, madam?
00:43:37No, thank you. Nothing.
00:43:38Very well, madam.
00:43:42Mr. Chang, have you seen Lake?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:45What did he say?
00:43:46What did you find out?
00:43:47Nothing.
00:43:48He is dead.
00:43:51What?
00:43:53Someone killed him.
00:43:55Trying to make it seem as if he killed himself.
00:43:58Lake?
00:43:59Dead?
00:44:01Been all that you hoped for last night?
00:44:04Oh, I told you to see them then.
00:44:07I'm sorry.
00:44:09I was wrong.
00:44:11We must start again.
00:44:13Start again?
00:44:14With less than 48 hours?
00:44:17Oh, I wish to heaven I'd never seen you.
00:44:20You give me hope and then...
00:44:28Hope is not gone.
00:44:31Lake cannot talk, but death talks.
00:44:37It tells something we did not know before.
00:44:40That real murderer of Hamilton is here.
00:44:44Oh.
00:44:47It does.
00:44:48For lonely man, Lake had too much money.
00:44:53Hush money.
00:44:55Given by murderer.
00:44:57When I frighten Lake, murderer must kill.
00:45:01Couldn't we tell her about Lake's murder?
00:45:03And make them see that this proves that Paula's innocent?
00:45:05Wait, please.
00:45:07Murder of Lake proves nothing.
00:45:10Except to us who believe your brother innocent.
00:45:13But what are we going to do?
00:45:14There's so little time.
00:45:16I work here.
00:45:19Your work is to see that brother is told of hope we have for him.
00:45:24Yes.
00:45:27Yes, you're right.
00:45:31And thank you.
00:45:45Good morning, Philip.
00:45:46Good morning, Beth.
00:45:55Good morning.
00:45:59Good morning.
00:46:01Good morning.
00:46:17Good morning.
00:46:18Good morning.
00:46:19Good morning, Philip.
00:46:21Good evening, Lucy.
00:46:26Great morning, Philip.
00:46:29Good morning, Geoffrey.
00:46:30Good morning, all my dear.
00:46:31Military training useful for business of chasing fox?
00:46:35Now, what at least do you mean, military training?
00:46:38You are major, therefore a soldier.
00:46:42You are hunt secretary, therefore I think perhaps...
00:46:46Now, look here, my good fellow.
00:46:48In the first place, fox handling has nothing whatever to do with the army.
00:46:52Hmm?
00:46:53Second, I was never a soldier.
00:46:56Third, would you mind not interrupting me?
00:47:01So sorry, but understood, Major. Army title.
00:47:06If you must know, I was in the Air Force, not the Army.
00:47:13Thank you so much.
00:47:28Pam.
00:47:28Paul, darling.
00:47:30What have you come for?
00:47:31To tell you that Mr. Chan...
00:47:33Has he found out anything? What's he on to? What's he doing?
00:47:35Wait, darling. He has found out something.
00:47:36What is it?
00:47:37There's been another...
00:47:38Speak up, lady.
00:47:38I'm sorry. Something's happened down at Jeffrey's.
00:47:42Something that makes it certain that the real murder is still there.
00:47:44Has he told them at the home office? If they knew that, they'd have to...
00:47:47His case isn't strong enough yet, Paul.
00:47:48They wouldn't realize any connection with you.
00:47:51But he knows.
00:47:54Oh, Paul.
00:47:56There's no time. It's all useless.
00:47:58Oh, but it isn't useless. There is time.
00:48:01Two days.
00:48:04Not quite two days.
00:48:09Why can't they kill me now?
00:48:11Why do they make me wait?
00:48:12Please, darling. Please take hold of yourself.
00:48:14Get out!
00:48:14Don't worry about me. Don't think about me. I'm dead.
00:48:17I've got a rope around my neck, and in 40 hours they're gonna pull it tight,
00:48:20and my neck's gonna break it. I'll be dead. Dead!
00:48:22Stop! Don't make me stop!
00:48:24You're best leaving, Miss.
00:48:30Do you really think I should go?
00:48:31Yes, Miss.
00:48:33He's much better when he's quiet like in here,
00:48:35with just me and Bostock to look after him.
00:48:39All right.
00:48:41I'll go.
00:48:52Is Miss Gray with her brother?
00:48:53Yes, sir.
00:48:55I'll wait.
00:49:13Pamela.
00:49:15Please, dear. I've got to talk to you.
00:49:17Why wouldn't you see me this morning when I was down at Richmond's?
00:49:19Please leave me alone.
00:49:23But you've got to listen to me.
00:49:25You must give me a chance to explain.
00:49:27Let me go.
00:49:29Haven't you done enough?
00:49:30Don't you understand I never want to see you again?
00:49:41But how can Lake's death possibly be connected with the Gray case?
00:49:45A case like inside of radio.
00:49:48Many connections.
00:49:50Not all related.
00:49:52You mean you've got something?
00:49:54Much.
00:49:55But do not know what is.
00:49:59Frequent state of mind for detective.
00:50:02I want to think you're right about Gray.
00:50:05But sometimes I...
00:50:06Well, I can't imagine all that evidence was wrong.
00:50:09Lot of evidence.
00:50:11Too much.
00:50:14You can lend automobile in morning?
00:50:16Why, of course.
00:50:17Where do you want to go?
00:50:18To Airdrome at Fanwell.
00:50:21Air Force camp?
00:50:22What on earth for?
00:50:24Charlie Chan, very curious man.
00:50:27Want answer to many questions.
00:50:31Yes, but what...
00:50:33Oh, Geoffrey.
00:50:34I've been looking for you.
00:50:36Good evening.
00:50:38Chan and I were just talking about...
00:50:39Humless suggests such topics not interesting at moment.
00:50:43Excuse, please.
00:50:59Don't think about it, dear.
00:51:01But Geoffrey, what's happening to us?
00:51:03All these dreadful things one after the other.
00:51:05You mustn't worry so, Mary.
00:51:08Well, I'm frightened.
00:51:10I...
00:51:10I keep feeling some other dreadful thing's going to happen.
00:51:13Oh, darling.
00:51:14Don't be foolish.
00:51:16But Geoffrey,
00:51:17with poor Pam in the house,
00:51:18I think it's awful to be leading our normal, useless lives.
00:51:22Why, we're even going to hunt tomorrow.
00:51:24It seems that...
00:51:25We're only doing exactly what Chan wants us to.
00:51:30I suppose I'm being very silly.
00:51:32No, darling.
00:51:33You're being what you can't help being.
00:51:36A very lovely person.
00:51:41And now, madame, bed for you.
00:51:44It's going to be a hard day tomorrow.
00:52:30I think it's too late tomorrow.
00:52:39It's normal at times.
00:52:40It seems halfway to us,
00:52:59What on earth?
00:53:02Excuse, please.
00:53:05When death enters window,
00:53:06no time for life to go by door.
00:53:10What do you mean?
00:53:11I will show you.
00:53:19Intended for my address.
00:53:23Very curious missile.
00:53:28From strong air pistol.
00:53:30Yes, but why should anyone want to?
00:53:33Someone is afraid.
00:53:45Indeed.
00:53:45Hey, what's going on here?
00:53:48I've been acting part of bullseye.
00:53:51I don't follow you, Mr. Chang.
00:53:53Somebody's just tried to kill Chad.
00:53:54What?
00:53:55We must have the ground searched immediately.
00:53:56I'll call my men.
00:53:57Wait, please.
00:54:00Whoever tried to kill humble self has had much time to hide.
00:54:07Good night, Phillips.
00:54:08Good night, sir.
00:54:12Now, come along here.
00:54:13Let's have a look at you.
00:54:16As I was coming up from the terrace, I didn't see anybody.
00:54:18But I heard this drop.
00:54:25What's that?
00:54:26I think original home of this.
00:54:30I must make a note of this, Mr. Chang.
00:54:34Excuse me, sir.
00:54:35What is it?
00:54:36Two of the constables are asking for Sergeant Thacker.
00:54:39They've captured a man lurking in the grounds.
00:54:41Tell them to bring him in here.
00:54:43Very good, sir.
00:54:44There you are, Mr. Chang.
00:54:45Hmm.
00:54:45My men got him after all.
00:54:48Maybe.
00:54:54Howard!
00:54:55I don't know these affectionate gentlemen.
00:54:57But if they'd let me alone for a moment, I might take off my hat.
00:55:00You need an old limb.
00:55:02Who are you?
00:55:03Explain yourself.
00:55:05Uh, surname Howard.
00:55:07Christian name, Neil.
00:55:08Profession, bastard law.
00:55:09Financial position, sound.
00:55:10Health, good.
00:55:11Social standing, somewhat...
00:55:12Wait a minute.
00:55:13Wait a minute.
00:55:14I can't ride as fast as that.
00:55:16Oh, this is ridiculous, Thacker.
00:55:17I'm very sorry, sir.
00:55:18I've got my duty to do.
00:55:19This man has got to explain why he's loitering about in Newer Grounds at this time of night.
00:55:24Mr. Richmond's a friend of mine, and I...
00:55:25Wait a minute.
00:55:26Wait a minute.
00:55:28Excuse me, sir.
00:55:29But were you aware of this gentleman's presence in the, uh, vicinity?
00:55:33I...
00:55:35I know Mr. Howard well.
00:55:36He...
00:55:37What is this?
00:55:38What's half the county police force doing here anyway?
00:55:40The police are here because Lake's dead.
00:55:42And they are investigating his death.
00:55:45And what's more, a murder has just been attempted in this room.
00:55:48Immediately afterwards, you're arrested in the grounds having no satisfactory explanation for your presence.
00:55:54I shall have to detain you.
00:55:56Excuse, please.
00:55:58But Mr. Howard has business here.
00:56:01Why, what do you know about it, Mr. Chang?
00:56:03Well, he come to see me.
00:56:05To see you?
00:56:07Certainly.
00:56:08I want private talk of Mr. Howard.
00:56:11So I telephoned him this morning.
00:56:13I see, Mr. Chang.
00:56:15I see.
00:56:17But why didn't he come to the house in the ordinary way?
00:56:21Answer that.
00:56:23Well, I...
00:56:24I, uh...
00:56:25It is plain.
00:56:26Mr. Howard is man of feeling.
00:56:29He does not want to disturb household.
00:56:32I must say, I can't follow this, Mr. Chang.
00:56:35Well, it's perfectly simple, isn't it?
00:56:37I'm very sorry, sir.
00:56:38I know my duty under regulations.
00:56:41I shall have to detain this gentleman.
00:56:43Please.
00:56:45Before you make arrest, there is something you should see.
00:56:58There is nothing to see.
00:56:59Well, what's...
00:57:02Not loud, please.
00:57:05I want to talk to you privately.
00:57:07I follow, Mr. Chang.
00:57:09I follow.
00:57:10Very smart trick, Mr. Chang.
00:57:12If you insist that marksman was Mr. Howard,
00:57:17I insist whole affair one great big joke.
00:57:22Meaning that you won't give evidence or make a charge, Mr. Chang?
00:57:26You are good marksman, Sergeant.
00:57:29You hit bullseye.
00:57:32Regulations are clear.
00:57:34I ought to detain him.
00:57:36If you want Wild Bird to sing, do not put him in cage.
00:57:49Wild Bird to sing, cage.
00:58:03Good morning.
00:58:04Good morning, Colonel.
00:58:05How are you today?
00:58:06Good morning.
00:58:07Good morning.
00:58:11Of course it's true.
00:58:13Richmond just told me so.
00:58:16Under the circumstances, do you think we should hunt?
00:58:18Yes.
00:58:19They particularly want us to go on as if nothing had happened.
00:58:22You say, what's all the trouble?
00:58:23You fellows look as if you're going to a funeral or something.
00:58:26Someone tried to kill Chang last night.
00:58:28What?
00:58:29Yes.
00:58:30Shot at him with some sort of an air gun.
00:58:32Through the window of that study.
00:58:33Have they any idea who did it?
00:58:35Apparently not.
00:58:36It was very late and nobody was about.
00:58:38Why should they want to kill Chang?
00:58:40I haven't the remotest idea.
00:58:44Oh, Phillips.
00:58:45Have you seen Mr. Chang?
00:58:47Not since seven o'clock, Your Ladyship.
00:58:49He went away in the Rolls Royce.
00:58:50Did he say when he'd be back?
00:58:52No, Your Ladyship.
00:58:53All right, Phillips.
00:59:00Mary, what ever's the matter?
00:59:02You look as though something awful had happened.
00:59:04Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:59:07If only Chang had been here.
00:59:08But what is it?
00:59:09What's happened?
00:59:11Last night, just before I went to bed,
00:59:13I happened to look out of my window and saw someone.
00:59:17It seemed strange at the time that I didn't think anything of it
00:59:19until just now I overheard something.
00:59:22But what is it?
00:59:25If I leave a note for Chang, would you promise to give it him as soon as he arrives?
00:59:28Of course I will.
00:59:47Good morning, master.
00:59:48Good morning, sir.
00:59:48Good morning.
01:00:01Well, Mr. Chang, what can I do for you?
01:00:04You were here when there was unfortunate young officer, Hamilton, who was murdered?
01:00:11Yes, I was.
01:00:12He was good officer?
01:00:14Excellent.
01:00:16Splendid in the air and brilliant at theory.
01:00:19He is quite an inventor, too.
01:00:21Inventor?
01:00:22Very interesting.
01:00:24What are things he invented?
01:00:26Oh, small improvements.
01:00:28Gadgets, you know.
01:00:29One of them was the adaptation of the Merton gyroscopic stabilizer.
01:00:35Do not understand, but sound useful.
01:00:38Well, I should say it was.
01:00:40It was taken up by the Air Ministry and is now in general use.
01:00:44I see.
01:00:45Can you say, please, when was last invention made by Hamilton?
01:00:51Oh, let me see.
01:00:52Oh, I think about 18 months ago.
01:00:55No more invention since?
01:00:57No.
01:00:59About that time he got a lot of new outside interests.
01:01:02Took up fox hunting.
01:01:04Got tangled up with that girl and so on.
01:01:07Been better for the lad if he had stuck to his work.
01:01:10He was in habit of talking about invention work?
01:01:15To you?
01:01:16To anyone?
01:01:17No.
01:01:18He was a queer chap.
01:01:20Kept pretty much to himself.
01:01:22And not very popular with his brother officers.
01:01:25He had no friend?
01:01:27One.
01:01:28Flight Commander King.
01:01:30Commander King.
01:01:31He is still here?
01:01:33Oh, yes.
01:01:34May I see him, please?
01:01:36Yes.
01:01:41Please think.
01:01:43There is perhaps man's life on your answer.
01:01:48There was one thing, but I don't know how far he went with it.
01:01:52This was big invention, yes?
01:01:56He had a wild scheme for silencing warplanes.
01:02:01Silencing warplanes.
01:02:04You remember he'd do work on this?
01:02:07Drew plans?
01:02:09Not that I know of.
01:02:10But he'd never show anything to anyone until he was sure it was right.
01:02:16Other question, please.
01:02:18None of this was mentioned at trial of Mr. Gray?
01:02:22Why, no, of course not.
01:02:24Why should it?
01:02:24That had nothing to do with anything.
01:02:27I don't catch your drift, Mr. Chan.
01:02:29Drift?
01:02:30Catch me?
01:02:33Thank you so much.
01:02:36But I tell you, Chan has made me realize that Paul is innocent.
01:02:40Oh, it's all so useless.
01:02:42But Pam, dear.
01:02:43Even if Paul is saved, I can't ever forget that you told Chan he was guilty.
01:02:47Suppose he believed.
01:02:49But I did that to help you.
01:02:51I believed Paul was guilty.
01:02:53But I didn't want anyone else to have the chance of making you believe it.
01:02:57Oh, please understand.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:02And I'm trying to help you.
01:03:06Oh, Neil.
01:03:07My darling.
01:03:10Then you do believe me?
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:14But don't you realize that there's less than a day and a night before they take Paul?
01:03:18Don't lose hope, dear.
01:03:20I believe Chan's going to save him.
01:03:22But there's so little time.
01:03:23Only 22 hours.
01:03:25Good morning.
01:03:26I have looked for you.
01:03:28Oh, Mr. Chan, what...
01:03:28Wait, please.
01:03:29No time to lose.
01:03:31You have fast car?
01:03:32Yes.
01:03:33You know this fox chase today.
01:03:34Which way they go?
01:03:35I can make a good guess.
01:03:37You must guess right.
01:03:38You take me now, I'll get the car.
01:03:41Oh, Mr. Chan, what's happened?
01:03:42I returned to house just now.
01:03:44They give me this.
01:04:04What does she mean?
01:04:06Lady Mary in much danger.
01:04:09If murderer find she knows something, he will strike.
01:04:13Remember Lake?
01:04:15Remember attempt on humble self?
01:04:17Must find lady at once.
01:04:29This is speedy automobile.
01:04:31I've got 120 out of it.
01:04:32120.
01:04:34Oh, very nice.
01:04:43What is wrong?
01:04:51How old are you?
01:04:53Oh, look.
01:04:54Oh, no!
01:04:58Jay oh!
01:04:58Oh, no!
01:05:00Wait!
01:05:01Oh, no, no.
01:05:03Missa!
01:05:04Mr.Ãa!
01:05:05Whoa.
01:05:05That's your first time, Billy.
01:05:05Oh, boy!
01:05:11There you are. Told you I'd find them.
01:05:14Nearly find them, sisters.
01:05:16We must be going off to draw another cover.
01:05:22What are you doing here, Chad?
01:05:24Where is Lady Mary?
01:05:28I don't know. I haven't seen her for the last 15 minutes.
01:05:30Say, Garten, where's Mary?
01:05:32I can't say. I haven't seen her since we passed Old Spinney.
01:05:35Have you seen Mary?
01:05:37Perhaps she's cast her shoe.
01:05:39The last I saw her, she was going strong.
01:05:42I say, where's Mary?
01:05:43I don't know.
01:05:49Hellcat! Mary! The chalk pit!
01:05:51Come on!
01:06:04Look at her, right here.
01:06:07There she is. Look at her, right here.
01:06:11Look, we can get down around over the other side.
01:06:13Yes, come on.
01:06:15Oh, hold that.
01:06:15Hold that.
01:06:16Hold that.
01:06:17Hold that.
01:06:17Hold that.
01:06:20Hold that.
01:06:26Can't you tell me something?
01:06:28A serious fracture at the base of the skull.
01:06:30With care and luck, we may pull her through.
01:06:32There is a chance, then.
01:06:34Oh, a very good one.
01:06:47Nurse.
01:06:48Yes?
01:06:49Is there...
01:06:49How is she?
01:06:51I think she has a very good chance.
01:06:54Has she come too?
01:06:55Oh, no.
01:06:55She'll be unconscious for at least 24 hours.
01:07:25There, there.
01:07:29Where's she?
01:07:30In the middle?
01:07:31No.
01:07:32No.
01:07:44No.
01:07:45No.
01:07:46No.
01:07:47No.
01:07:47No.
01:07:47The neck!
01:07:48No.
01:07:49No.
01:07:50No.
01:07:51No.
01:07:51No.
01:07:52No.
01:07:52No.
01:07:56Only a few hours to save Mr. Gray.
01:08:00Therefore, this conference necessary.
01:08:02This is all nonsense.
01:08:04You've got no facts.
01:08:06Why, you're known you're anything you were when you first arrived.
01:08:08Oh, yes.
01:08:09I know why real murderer killed Hamilton.
01:08:14You mean you know definitely that Gray didn't kill Hamilton?
01:08:17Yes.
01:08:18That Gray was the only person that had a motive for killing him.
01:08:21You are wrong.
01:08:22There was another who had big motive.
01:08:25Today, I find Hamilton had secret invention to silence warplanes.
01:08:32What's all this got to do with a murder?
01:08:35Plans of invention stolen to sell for much big money.
01:08:40Hamilton find thief, then thief must kill.
01:08:45This is all wild theorized.
01:08:47Let him go on, Jardine.
01:08:48Remember, he's trying to save Gray's life.
01:08:50Everything nice for murderer until I come.
01:08:55Then certain people to be made quiet.
01:08:59Lake, because he knows truth.
01:09:02Me, because I near truth.
01:09:04But where does this all lead to?
01:09:08To this.
01:09:10Someone here, in this room, is murderer.
01:09:23This is just another of your asinine tricks.
01:09:25You pretend to find out all sorts of things, but really you know nothing.
01:09:28I know this.
01:09:30I can catch murderer if I find plans stolen from Hamilton.
01:09:35But how would finding the plans prove anything?
01:09:39Unplanned will be fingerprints.
01:09:42And fingerprints will match those of someone here.
01:09:47In the future.
01:09:55Is he asleep?
01:09:56I don't know.
01:09:57Shut up.
01:09:59I'm not asleep.
01:10:03What's the time?
01:10:04Pretty early.
01:10:05I said, what's the time?
01:10:07Quarter to five.
01:10:09Quarter to five.
01:10:14Five to six, that's one.
01:10:18Six to seven, that's two.
01:10:23Seven to nine.
01:10:27Four more hours.
01:10:30Would you like anything, mate?
01:10:32A cup of tea?
01:10:33No, I don't think so.
01:10:37No.
01:10:39I don't want anything.
01:11:30I don't want anything.
01:11:33What the deuce do you want?
01:11:35No noise, please.
01:11:41I want your help.
01:11:43It didn't seem like that to me when all the others were in here.
01:11:46You looked at me as if I might be your man.
01:11:48Much regret, but necessary to point suspicion to all.
01:11:53I don't see what you expected again by telling everyone everything you know.
01:11:57There is one thing I have not told.
01:12:00Today, murderer tried to kill Lady Mary.
01:12:05What do you mean? Mary's accident?
01:12:07No accident.
01:12:09Alone with Lady, murderer blinds eyes of noble animal.
01:12:15You mean...
01:12:16Tonight, I examine defunct noble animal.
01:12:20On face were dried tears.
01:12:24And something else.
01:12:26I wipe it off.
01:12:28Mr. Howard, take it to Analyst.
01:12:31He telephoned me. Just now, report.
01:12:34It was Pepper.
01:12:36Pepper?
01:12:37Yes.
01:12:38Who was it? Tell me!
01:12:40I do not know. That is why I want your help.
01:12:44Yes, but how?
01:12:45Now, murderer, much afraid of fingerprints.
01:12:49He will try to destroy plans.
01:12:52We catch him then.
01:12:54Do you mean you know where the plans are?
01:12:55Downstairs. Somewhere in study.
01:13:00But that's impossible.
01:13:02Attempt on my life made there.
01:13:05Must have been nearing hiding place.
01:13:08I see.
01:13:10All right, what do you want me to do?
01:13:12Come with me to study.
01:13:15We wait for murderer.
01:13:19Ah!
01:13:37Are you going...팀
01:13:46going on?
01:13:46Because we're too late.
01:13:53I was here, in this room, before I go up to fetch you.
01:13:59That was not open.
01:14:04Here.
01:14:06You watch.
01:14:17Here.
01:15:15Please excuse me.
01:15:16Please excuse blank cartridges in pistol.
01:15:24Stand back, Herr. Stand back.
01:15:27The police are in charge.
01:15:34I find these plans earlier this evening,
01:15:37but regret no fingerprints.
01:15:40Now, fingerprints not necessary.
01:15:43Thank you so much.
01:15:45Geoffrey Richmond, I arrest you in a charge of murder.
01:15:49Better get him right, Sergeant.
01:15:52Richmond's an alias.
01:15:54He's not even an Englishman.
01:15:55His real name's Paul Frank.
01:15:58And you?
01:16:00You have real name?
01:16:02I'm Captain Seaton, military intelligence.
01:16:07We've been after Frank for years.
01:16:09We nearly caught him when he worked England before.
01:16:12But this time he put us off with all this front.
01:16:16Very expensive front.
01:16:17Yes, he was playing for high stakes.
01:16:20But he won't play any more.
01:16:22All right, Sergeant. Take him away.
01:16:27You call the governor of the prison,
01:16:29and I'll get in touch with the home secretary.
01:16:32Yes.
01:16:38Perhaps I return to London, bye-bye, and bring family.
01:16:42Twelve children and one wife.
01:16:46And I've got another toast.
01:16:48To the greatest detective in the world.
01:16:51Not very good, detective.
01:16:53Just lucky old Chinaman.
01:16:56Well, I think it was miraculous the way you built up
01:16:58that chain of evidence in three days.
01:17:00Chain not complete.
01:17:03Most important link not yet in place.
01:17:06Whatever do you mean, Mr. Chan?
01:17:07Link you dropped in my hotel room.
01:17:12Observe, please.
01:17:25Case now complete.
01:17:50Joint not complete,
01:17:59it isn't possible.
01:17:59And you must have been left with his head.
01:18:02To the right to the left.
01:18:03OK, Mr. Chan.
01:18:03Get away.
01:18:03To the right to the right to the right to the right to the right.
01:18:07Here.
01:18:08He's a big,é»’ bee.
01:18:08Check out.
01:18:09Is to the right to the right to the right to the right now at the right?
01:18:10The right to the right to the right.
01:18:12Yeah, be afraid to children.
01:18:12Look how high up the right to the right to the right?
01:18:13As an old friend,
01:18:14He's gonna look at the right to the right to the right.
01:18:29The End
01:18:54The End
01:19:20The End
