00:01:19THE END
00:01:22Right in there, buddy.
00:01:28Car one, sir.
00:01:31Car three.
00:01:34Car one.
00:01:36Pardon me.
00:01:38Your bag.
00:01:39Thank you so much.
00:01:42Car three.
00:01:45Car two.
00:01:48Car one.
00:01:52Car four.
00:01:53Car one.
00:01:54I'll carry you back, sir.
00:01:54Never mind, I'll carry you.
00:01:55Okay, boss.
00:02:02Didn't I tell you I wanted a compartment in the middle of a train?
00:02:06Yes, Mr. Gellard, but the reservation clerk at the hotel said this was the only accommodation left.
00:02:10I told him who you were and he did everything possible to try and meet your wishes.
00:02:13Oh, well, it doesn't matter, only I don't like riding so close to the engine.
00:02:24I hope you have a pleasant trip, Mr. Gellard.
00:02:28Oh, uh, don't forget to lock the door, sir.
00:02:30You can't tell on these trains.
00:02:32That's all right, Black.
00:02:32I've carried diamonds before.
00:02:34Tell Mr. Wartell I'll wear him from Montreal.
00:02:37Very good, sir.
00:03:01That's the work, Sable.
00:03:13What?
00:03:14Take it away, Mac.
00:03:16All right, Willie.
00:03:18What?
00:03:30Take it away, Mac.
00:03:50Come on, play cards.
00:03:58Come on, play cards.
00:04:02I see there, boss.
00:04:04You sure did scare me.
00:04:06I thought that was a gun you had in your hand.
00:05:01Who is it?
00:05:03Just a minute.
00:05:07Come in.
00:05:38Get him up.
00:05:39Now, wait a minute.
00:05:39You can't get away with this.
00:05:41Move over and face that wall.
00:05:43Keep your hands up and your mouth shut.
00:05:45Get back there.
00:05:46No, no, don't.
00:06:26Keep your trap shut.
00:06:30What do you got in that bag?
00:06:33Nothing.
00:06:34Nothing you'd want.
00:06:35Just papers.
00:06:36Oh, yeah?
00:06:37Well, suppose we take a look.
00:06:39Come on, open it up.
00:06:41All right, get it open.
00:06:43They're no good to you.
00:06:44Yeah?
00:06:46Maybe they ain't.
00:06:48And I'm going to take them with me just to teach you to mind your own business.
00:06:52Oh, please don't.
00:06:53Please.
00:06:53Now, don't stick your head out this door.
00:06:55Now, make any noise.
00:06:56You might get hurt.
00:07:23Now, let's go.
00:07:26Which way did he go?
00:07:27Well, he started to go that way as I opened my door.
00:07:37Watch.
00:07:38What's this door doing open?
00:07:40The robber must have got off that way.
00:07:44What's all the excitement?
00:07:45What happened?
00:07:45I was robbed.
00:07:46He came out of the compartment next to mine.
00:07:48Did he have a gun?
00:07:48Yes, he did.
00:07:49I was afraid to scream.
00:07:50Looks like he made his getaway, all right.
00:07:52My, my.
00:07:54Oh, help me on time.
00:07:58I was robbed.
00:07:59Robbed of $75,000 worth of diamonds.
00:08:01I tell you, he mustn't get away.
00:08:03He robbed me, too.
00:08:04What did he look like?
00:08:04I don't know.
00:08:05He snapped the lights out.
00:08:06He's a phantom.
00:08:06He don't need no light.
00:08:08All right, folks.
00:08:08Back in the car.
00:08:09Oh, did you see him?
00:08:10He's ready to go.
00:08:12It's right, Tom.
00:08:13Yeah.
00:08:14You know I thought I saw the tail light of a car going down that road.
00:08:17But he disappeared so quickly, I couldn't be certain.
00:08:19Well, if you're right, that's where he went.
00:08:21But how you could time the robbery to stop the train just at this point is beyond me.
00:08:26May I ask what this excitement and hubbub is all about?
00:08:29I was awakened out of a sound sleep.
00:08:31Well, my good man, it's all over now.
00:08:33If you'll just step inside, we'll get on our way.
00:08:36Thank you very much.
00:08:53While we have no legal responsibility in regard to your loss, Ms. Marshall,
00:08:57we feel morally bound to put the entire resources of the road at your disposal.
00:09:01Our particular function of police and detective work is sheer goodwill upon a part of the railroad towards its passengers.
00:09:07Well, if that's the case, Mr. Harrigan, why don't you do something about it?
00:09:10I've been to the district attorney's office, and I'm convinced that they don't know any more of the whereabouts of
00:09:14the robbers than I do.
00:09:15Well, we have 150 passengers on the train to check the background and habits of the crew.
00:09:20Mr. Harrigan, those papers I was robbed of are the only existing proof that my mother and I have at
00:09:25my uncle's estate.
00:09:27Why, they represent all we have in the world.
00:09:29Well, perhaps when the thief discovers that they are of no value to him, he may return them to you.
00:09:34Well, he's had 10 days to do it.
00:09:36Oh, I'm certain that the only way we'll ever get them back is to find him.
00:09:39Well, this is a most unusual case.
00:09:41The area in which the robbery occurred is very sparsely settled.
00:09:44Before a police cordon could be established, the robbers could have been 150 miles away in any direction.
00:09:48That's just it.
00:09:49And nobody's doing anything about it.
00:10:09Here's the complete data on the Green damage claim, which is now closed.
00:10:12Tell Captain Harrigan if there's anything further.
00:10:13He can check with Green's lawyer.
00:10:15All right.
00:10:16This is the list of the crew on the Midnight Limited the night of the robbery.
00:10:18And, uh, the young lady is here that Captain Harrigan sent over.
00:10:23Show her in.
00:10:28Come in, please.
00:10:31Mr. Lennon.
00:10:33Oh, yes.
00:10:33How do you do?
00:10:34Miss Marshall, isn't it?
00:10:35Yes, I understand you're in charge of the investigation of the robbery of the Midnight Limited.
00:10:39That's right.
00:10:40Won't you be seated?
00:10:43Of course you understand, Miss Marshall.
00:10:45There's very little we can say at this stage of the investigation.
00:10:47I hope you're not going to start that.
00:10:49That's all I've heard from everyone I've spoken to since I was robbed.
00:10:52Well, I'd like to put your mind at rest about that.
00:10:54Unfortunately, the people you spoke to had nothing they could tell you.
00:10:58I don't want to make this sound too melodramatic, but it's essential that the utmost secrecy be observed in the
00:11:03development of this case.
00:11:04Now, a thoughtless remark giving away anything that we have learned could easily get in the papers.
00:11:08And thieves read papers.
00:11:09But the people who have been robbed.
00:11:12Surely we're entitled to some information as to what the railway authorities are doing to recover our property.
00:11:16I think if you should check the record of the police department of this railroad, you'd feel a decided increase
00:11:20in confidence at leaving the thing in our hands.
00:11:23Now, you're asking me to go home and wait with folded hands until you find the papers.
00:11:26Papers that mean everything to Mother and me.
00:11:29I realize it's a difficult thing to do, and I'd like to take you into our confidence.
00:11:32But for your own sake, I don't dare.
00:11:34You may have a very efficient police department, but up to date, I haven't seen any evidence that it is.
00:11:38I know that if I had something to do with it, I'd get results.
00:11:41Why can't I help?
00:11:43I'm afraid, Miss Marshall, that would be a little difficult to arrange.
00:11:46But I know I could be of some assistance to you.
00:11:48After all, I'm the only one that actually saw the robber.
00:11:51Nobody reported that.
00:11:52I was told no one saw him.
00:11:54Well, I didn't see his features very clearly as the corridor was dimly lit.
00:11:57This is very important information.
00:11:59I must talk to Captain Harrigan about this at once.
00:12:01Let's see.
00:12:03He, uh, he would be at lunch now.
00:12:05Uh, could I, uh, I mean, would you, uh, I mean, could I take you to, uh...
00:12:09To lunch?
00:12:10Yes.
00:12:11All right.
00:12:12But I'll probably be very boring.
00:12:14I'm not going to talk about anything but the case.
00:12:17Well, I can't honestly promise that I'll do the same.
00:12:30Now that I know how much your happiness depends on the recovery of those papers, it makes me more anxious
00:12:34than ever to crack this case.
00:12:36Well, I'm sure I could be of some use to you.
00:12:38But I'd do anything I could to help if you'll only let me.
00:12:41Well, of course, it's against our policy, but there's no doubt about it.
00:12:43It would be of tremendous value to have someone working with us who has an idea of what the crook
00:12:47looks like.
00:12:48How's the spiegels?
00:12:49You like it, Mr. Lenn?
00:12:50Fine, Giuseppe, fine.
00:12:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:54How about a little fruit now?
00:12:55Oh, just black coffee, please.
00:12:57Two black coffees.
00:12:58That's a caramel.
00:12:59I bet.
00:12:59I make two coffees right away.
00:13:01I hope I can convince Harrigan.
00:13:03Aside from the value of your having seen this man, it would be awfully nice working with you.
00:13:07Well, then you really think it's possible?
00:13:08We'll get right over to Harrigan's office just as soon as we finish and find out.
00:13:13And so, while the robber was busy with the diamond merchant, Miss Marshall heard a noise.
00:13:16She became frightened and looked out of her compartment door in time to see the thief coming out of Mr.
00:13:20Gellert's apartment.
00:13:21And you occupied the compartment next to the one that was robbed?
00:13:24Yes, that's right.
00:13:26Of course, the light in the corridor was very dim, and the brim of his hat partially hit his face.
00:13:30But she got a good impression of him before he reached in and snapped out the light.
00:13:33Are you quite sure about being able to recognize him?
00:13:36Yes, I am.
00:13:37He walked two or three steps, and I got a fair glance at his face as he came toward me.
00:13:41I was so frightened at the time that everything seemed hazy.
00:13:44But I've thought so much about it since that his features have become fixed in my mind.
00:13:48Of course, Miss Marshall can't naturally give a very clear picture.
00:13:51Would you say that he was dark or light?
00:13:55Dark, medium height, thin, and sharp-featured.
00:14:00Oh, Captain, Miss Marshall wants to work on this case with us.
00:14:05What?
00:14:06In view of the importance of having someone on call who has actually seen the robber,
00:14:10I think it advisable that we make an exception in our rules
00:14:12and accept Miss Marshall as a temporary member of the force.
00:14:16Well, if in your opinion her knowledge is vital to the case,
00:14:19then I guess there's nothing more to be said.
00:14:23Welcome to our company.
00:14:29All right.
00:14:31They've got the train crew in for you to check on their original statements.
00:14:35Oh, fine.
00:14:36Here's the list.
00:14:38Who do you want in first?
00:14:41Well, let's start with Thomas.
00:14:43Send Thomas in.
00:14:50Oh, hello, Tom.
00:14:52Mr. Lemon wants to ask you a few questions.
00:14:54Oh, Tom.
00:14:54Now, listen, Val.
00:14:55Now, don't get huffy, Tom.
00:14:57We've got some things we want to clear up.
00:14:58Well, just a minute.
00:14:59I've been with this road for 20 years.
00:15:01No one can point their finger at me.
00:15:02Now, now, relax.
00:15:03No one's accusing you of anything.
00:15:05We just want you to help us.
00:15:06But I've already told Captain Harrigan everything I know.
00:15:08Yes, I know.
00:15:09But look, now, for instance, do you remember where Walsh was standing beside the train when
00:15:13he thought he saw the automobile taillight?
00:15:15No, the fool didn't say anything about it until he got back on the train.
00:15:18And you can't think of any other thing that happened out of the usual routine just before
00:15:21the robbery?
00:15:21Well, I've gone over it a dozen times in my mind, and everything I can recall, you've got.
00:15:26Okay, Tom.
00:15:27Thanks a lot.
00:15:30Send Kranz in.
00:15:38Kranz, I see by this card that you worked for the Denver and Western for five years.
00:15:42And you've worked for us during the last three years.
00:15:44That's right.
00:15:45Well, between the time you left the Denver and Western and came to work for us, there's
00:15:48a four-month period we have no account of.
00:15:50What did you do during that time?
00:15:52I hunted for a job.
00:15:54Well, why did you leave the Denver and Western after five years?
00:15:57Well, my wife wanted to be near her folks.
00:16:00They live in Connecticut.
00:16:01So during that time, you were looking for a job in New York?
00:16:03Yes, I was.
00:16:05Did you apply to any other road before you came to work for this one?
00:16:09No, my wife wanted me to quit railroading, but it seems that that was all I knew.
00:16:16Okay, Kranz, that's all.
00:16:20How about Walsh?
00:16:23Send Walsh in.
00:16:30Walsh, you've worked on this railroad for ten years.
00:16:33Look, Mr. Lennon, you're wasting your time.
00:16:35My movements are all down in that report.
00:16:37Yes, I see.
00:16:38It's very complete.
00:16:39Well, I've got a job to do.
00:16:40Now, just what part of the train were you on when the robbery took place?
00:16:43I was two cars away, and I can prove it.
00:16:46I didn't see anybody for over an hour before it happened.
00:16:49After it happened, no one passed me.
00:16:51Why should they?
00:16:53The train had stopped.
00:16:54The thief opened the door and jumped off.
00:16:56It's simple.
00:16:57Yes, it's true.
00:16:58It's very simple.
00:16:58But that's what's wrong with it.
00:16:59It's too simple.
00:17:00Now, did you see anyone running away from the train?
00:17:03No, I didn't.
00:17:04But I thought I saw the tail light of a car down that road.
00:17:07That's all anybody does in this case is think.
00:17:10Nobody has any evidence they can swear to.
00:17:12Why do you have to think all the time?
00:17:14Well, I'm not going to say something that I'm not sure of.
00:17:17I thought I did see a car, but it was gone almost immediately,
00:17:20so that I couldn't swear to it.
00:17:22There you are, Val.
00:17:23Another one who thinks.
00:17:25I'm afraid that's what we're going to have to do a lot of, Captain.
00:17:27That's all, Walsh.
00:17:29Let's talk to Willie the porter.
00:17:33Send Willie in.
00:17:43Willie, I want you to take your mind back to the night of the robbery.
00:17:47Boss, I've been trying to keep my mind from going back to the robbery.
00:17:51I like some quiet life.
00:17:53Well, what do you remember about it?
00:17:55What does your mind keep going back to?
00:17:57Nothing, sir.
00:17:58My mind just keep going back to a blank.
00:18:01We've got to have more than a blank, Willie.
00:18:03Now, think.
00:18:04Do you remember seeing anyone roaming around the coach?
00:18:07I don't know, boss.
00:18:09Sometimes I think I saw a great big tough-looking stranger roaming around.
00:18:13And sometimes I think it was just my mind roaming around.
00:18:17You're being a great help, Willie.
00:18:19Yes, sir, boss.
00:18:20I'm willing to help every way I can,
00:18:22but I can't get no cooperation from my memory.
00:18:26Well, well, what do you think?
00:18:28We're exactly where we started.
00:18:29Well, the man just can't vanish into thin air.
00:18:32Is that all, Mr. Lennon, please, sir?
00:18:36Yeah, that's all, Willie.
00:18:37Thank you, sir.
00:18:53Say, who do you think's checking in?
00:18:55Who?
00:18:55Jake Pringle.
00:18:56Jake Pringle?
00:18:57Yeah, you heard about all the money won last night, didn't you?
00:19:00No.
00:19:01You did?
00:19:01Yeah, $60,000.
00:19:04$60,000?
00:19:05How long is he staying?
00:19:06Oh, he's going to leave again tomorrow night,
00:19:08and he's coming over to see you about a reservation in just a minute.
00:19:11Yeah, where's he going with the races?
00:19:12Yeah, and boy, if he hits those bookies
00:19:15the way he took that mob uptown last night,
00:19:17you'll be able to hear him yell all the way down here.
00:19:20I wonder if it's on the level
00:19:20all those big-time gamblers carry their money with him.
00:19:23Sure it is.
00:19:24I've known plenty of them right here in this hotel.
00:19:25They all do it.
00:19:29Well, how do you do, Mr. Pringle?
00:19:30I, uh, say, I want you to get me a compartment
00:19:33on the Midnight Limited for Montreal tomorrow night.
00:19:35Yes, sir.
00:19:42Uh, this is, uh, Rich Plaza.
00:19:45Yeah, I want to reserve one compartment
00:19:46on the Midnight Limited for Montreal tomorrow night.
00:19:50Did they tell me you gave the boys
00:19:52quite a shellacking night before last?
00:19:53Yeah, whenever those pikers lose a little money,
00:19:55they squawked everybody in town.
00:19:56Yeah, you said it.
00:19:59Is that the only one you have?
00:20:01Are you sure?
00:20:03All right, thank you.
00:20:10Well, there you are, sir.
00:20:11I hope you have a pleasant trip.
00:20:13Say, uh, where is this compartment?
00:20:15Well, that's well up forward.
00:20:17That's next to the baggage car.
00:20:18I don't want it next to the baggage car.
00:20:19I want it in the other middle of the train.
00:20:21Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Pringle,
00:20:22but we're lucky to get that.
00:20:23That's the last one on the train.
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26Come on, son.
00:20:46Hello, this is Joe.
00:20:48Yeah, Joe, Rich Plaza.
00:20:50Jake Pringle, the gambler,
00:20:52is leaving tomorrow night.
00:20:52Yeah, 60 grand.
00:20:55Yeah, I get it.
00:20:57Car one, compartment E.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:01Are you sure he'll have the money on him?
00:21:04Okay, I'll handle it.
00:21:25I didn't know Detectives had such long hours.
00:21:27You ought to have a union or something.
00:21:29Well, of course,
00:21:30every case has its disadvantages.
00:21:32But in this case,
00:21:32the advantages overshadow the disadvantages.
00:21:35Sometimes you get some awfully nice fellow workers.
00:21:37You ought to keep your mind on your work,
00:21:39not your fellow workers.
00:21:40Yeah, if I don't get a break in this case soon,
00:21:41I won't have any mind left.
00:21:49Look.
00:21:49Where?
00:21:50That little man over there with the derby in the bag.
00:21:53I'd swear he was on the train the night it was robbed.
00:21:56He seemed to be awfully drunk that night.
00:21:58Well, he looks the same way now.
00:22:02Car four.
00:22:03Ticket, please?
00:22:04Yes, yes.
00:22:05Ticket.
00:22:07Well, that is right in your hand.
00:22:09Oh, so it is.
00:22:11Car one.
00:22:13Stupid of me, wasn't it?
00:22:17Say, Brady,
00:22:18it's all of that drunk right there.
00:22:19See what reservation he has,
00:22:20and I'll check with you later.
00:22:21Yes, sir.
00:22:25He looked kind of shabby to me.
00:22:26Are you sure that's the one you saw on the train?
00:22:28I'm absolutely positive.
00:22:30After the robbery,
00:22:31when they questioned everybody,
00:22:32well, he acted very peculiar.
00:22:33Well, it seems a little far-fetched to me,
00:22:35but let's follow your hunch.
00:22:36Hunch?
00:22:37Why, I'll...
00:22:37I'll get reservations,
00:22:38and I'll meet you at the gate.
00:22:39All right.
00:23:02All right.
00:23:11I saw Lennon out near the gate tonight.
00:23:14He's certainly taking no chances on another robbery.
00:23:16I think it'd be better if he spent his time
00:23:18trying to crack that first case.
00:23:20Oh, I don't know.
00:23:21Just take a look at that boy's record.
00:23:22He's cracked some mighty big cases for this road.
00:23:25I think they're dumb hanging around the station.
00:23:27What they should be doing
00:23:28is combing the small towns up north,
00:23:30near where we stopped.
00:23:31Those big-time crooks
00:23:32always hangs out in a small town
00:23:34till the excitement dies down.
00:23:36Here he comes.
00:23:37Hello, Mr. Lennon.
00:23:38Riding with us?
00:23:39Yeah, Tom.
00:23:39We believe we saw someone connected with that robbery
00:23:41getting on board the train.
00:23:42You did?
00:23:42Yes, that little old man that was tipsy.
00:23:45Remember?
00:23:46Yes, I remember.
00:23:47Stick by close, will you, Tom?
00:23:48All right, Mel.
00:23:52Compartment D went right in and shut the door.
00:23:53Did he see you?
00:23:54Didn't look around.
00:23:55Well, that's fine.
00:23:55Now, you understand your instructions.
00:23:57You're to watch the front end of the compartment car,
00:23:58and I'll stay here.
00:23:59Now, if he comes out, don't do anything.
00:24:01If he asks you questions,
00:24:02just tell him you're there to guard the baggage card.
00:24:04Now, if you reach us for the emergency card,
00:24:05put him under arrest at once.
00:24:07Yes, sir.
00:24:08You want your men and the other coaches, huh, Tom?
00:24:09That's right, Mr. Lennon.
00:24:10Okay, boys.
00:24:22What time is it?
00:24:24It's 1.15.
00:24:25I suppose he's going to try anything.
00:24:27It'll be another half hour at least.
00:24:28Yes, it was around 1.30 or later the last time.
00:24:31Look, Joan, why don't you get some sleep?
00:24:33I know you're anxious to help,
00:24:34but if he starts anything, you might get hurt.
00:24:35Well, I'm able to take care of myself.
00:24:38After all, I'm a grown woman.
00:24:39Yes, I was fully conscious of that the minute I met you.
00:25:07Oh, I beg your pardon, my dear young people,
00:25:10but I didn't mean to interrupt you,
00:25:13but I never dreamed that anyone would be up at this late hour.
00:25:16Well, it's quite all right.
00:25:17We were just saying good night.
00:25:19But aren't you up a little late?
00:25:21Insomnia, my dear boy.
00:25:22The curse of those that have weighty problems on their minds.
00:25:25But I'll not interrupt you.
00:25:27I remember the old saying that two is,
00:25:29well, I'll go back to my compartment
00:25:31and immerse myself in the classics.
00:25:32Oh, pardon me.
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:33Do you have a match?
00:25:35I'm sorry, sir,
00:25:36but not being addicted to the use of tobacco,
00:25:39I carry no matches on my person.
00:25:41Smoking is apt to get such a hold on one,
00:25:43don't you think?
00:25:44I beg your pardon, sir.
00:25:46It's too bad that you're not able to sleep.
00:25:48Do you travel much on this train?
00:25:50I despise trains,
00:25:51and I never enter one unless I am forced to do so.
00:25:54Good night.
00:25:55Good night.
00:26:08Good night.
00:26:30Good night.
00:26:35Val, Val!
00:26:46Anything new, Val?
00:26:47He came out about five minutes ago.
00:26:49Little guy's on the prowl all right.
00:26:50Well, what about Bill here standing by for...
00:26:52No, I can handle it all right, Tom.
00:26:53Brady's up at the other end.
00:26:54And if they start anything on this car,
00:26:56we've got them.
00:26:57Okay, Val.
00:26:58Now, Miss Marshall,
00:26:59don't you think you'd better come back
00:27:00to the Pullman and have a little rest?
00:27:01Oh, no.
00:27:02I want to stay here.
00:27:03I think it's terribly exciting.
00:27:08Something's gone wrong.
00:27:23They got poor Brady.
00:27:26That door's open again.
00:27:30Will he go back to compartment D and see if it's occupied?
00:27:32Yes, sir.
00:27:35Now, you must be brave.
00:27:36These things happen.
00:27:37Now, go back inside and lie down.
00:27:38Well, I don't want to leave you, Val.
00:27:41I'm frightened.
00:27:41Mr. Lennon.
00:27:42Mr. Lennon, there's been a big robber.
00:27:43That gambling man, Mr. Pringle,
00:27:45has just been extracted from his bankroll.
00:27:47He's fit to be tied.
00:27:50He's in there, boss.
00:27:56About time somebody came.
00:27:58He hadn't pulled a gun on me.
00:28:00Did you see what he looked like?
00:28:02How could I?
00:28:04The door opened,
00:28:04he sticks in his hand,
00:28:05throws a flashlight in my face,
00:28:06and robbed me of $60,000 cash.
00:28:08That's the way he robbed me, too.
00:28:09Yeah?
00:28:10Yes, I'm working on Miss Marshall's case now.
00:28:11A detective, huh?
00:28:12That's right.
00:28:13Did anyone know you were carrying that much money on you?
00:28:15Nobody except half the population of New York,
00:28:18the whole town who I'd made a killing,
00:28:20and everyone knows that I always carry a big role.
00:28:22Well, did you specifically mention the money to anyone?
00:28:25I just told you, everyone in New York.
00:28:28But who knew you were making this trip?
00:28:30Listen here, I'm well known.
00:28:34Say, the guy that sold me this ticket,
00:28:36he seemed pretty nosy.
00:28:38What guy?
00:28:38The clerk at the Hotel Rich Plaza.
00:28:40He made some crack about that poker game I was in.
00:28:43Well, we'll go into that later.
00:28:44Right now, we'll have to search the train.
00:28:46Go on over the train.
00:28:48Yeah, he'll probably be setting up reading a book waiting for you.
00:28:56Why, there's no sign-up anywhere, Mr. Lennon.
00:28:58I tell you, the whole thing is downright crazy.
00:29:00He didn't pass the engineer in the front,
00:29:01and the brake went on the rear.
00:29:02The train jumped off immediately and didn't see a thing.
00:29:05Why, there's nothing but brush out there for miles.
00:29:07I see.
00:29:08Well, in the other robbery, the train was stopped at a crossroad,
00:29:10and it was fairly well established that a car was waiting.
00:29:13Now, where's the road, and where's the car?
00:29:16Well, then he might still be on the train.
00:29:18Oh, it's possible.
00:29:18I thought of that.
00:29:20We'd better get underway.
00:29:21Send a message to the police at the next station.
00:29:22Tell them what happened,
00:29:23and say I want this locality searched thoroughly.
00:29:25I'll take care of it right away.
00:29:27Oh, Willie.
00:29:28Yes, sir.
00:29:28What about that fellow in compartment D?
00:29:30Oh, yes, sir, boss.
00:29:32What about him?
00:29:34Never mind, Willie.
00:29:35Never mind.
00:29:37Never mind.
00:29:45Hey, wake up.
00:29:47Hey, wake up, will you?
00:29:49Well, you sound asleep.
00:29:51Elementary, mind you, Watson.
00:29:53Well, let's find out something about him.
00:29:54You search the bag.
00:30:00Oh, yes, sir.
00:30:25Nothing in here but a close.
00:30:27Well, how that fellow got away is something I'm going to find out or give up my job.
00:30:31Come on, let's search the train.
00:30:40John, where were you when the train stopped?
00:30:43Boys, I was up in the washroom, shining shoes, minding my own business.
00:30:47Well, did anyone pass you while you were working?
00:30:49No, sir.
00:30:51Are you sure?
00:30:52Yes.
00:30:54That is, except you and Mr. Wash go up to the head of the car.
00:30:58I don't see how anyone could have passed through here because I was at the other end of the coach.
00:31:02I think we better run down to the baggage car and see what we can learn there.
00:31:05I think so.
00:31:13I think so.
00:31:46Open up, open up.
00:31:48No one's allowed in here.
00:31:50Open up, Kranz.
00:31:51This is Leonard.
00:32:13Why didn't you join the others outside when the train stopped?
00:32:16What?
00:32:16You know the company rules.
00:32:18I have instructions never to leave this car.
00:32:20I'm responsible for all this property.
00:32:22I'm not allowed to take my eyes off it from the time the run begins until I hand it over
00:32:26and want for you all.
00:32:28That's right.
00:32:29Did anyone try and get in here after the train stopped?
00:32:31Not so far as I know.
00:32:34You didn't hear the shot?
00:32:35No.
00:32:35I heard some kind of sound, but I couldn't swear it was a shot.
00:32:39Somebody hurt.
00:32:40Brady, my best operator, was shot and killed.
00:32:43The vestibule of the coach just behind this door.
00:32:47You mean they killed a detective?
00:32:49You heard me.
00:32:51Did you catch the guy who did it?
00:32:53No, we didn't.
00:32:54But we will.
00:32:56You got a record of these bodies?
00:32:58Yes.
00:33:03Mr. and Mrs. Lavelle, check through to Montreal.
00:33:10Do you have any idea what time it was when you thought you heard that shot?
00:33:14No, I didn't notice.
00:33:18Well, he seemed to be okay.
00:33:20Let's go.
00:33:39Then I can leave it in your hands, Inspector, to check the possible suspects among the passengers.
00:33:44I've already given orders, Mr. Lennon, for a complete checkup on their backgrounds and destinations.
00:33:49I'll be able to furnish you with complete data inside of two days.
00:33:52Well, that's fine.
00:33:53Now, with your permission, Inspector, I'd like to be able to join the men you stationed at the railway terminal
00:33:57and check up on the passengers who came up with us,
00:33:59in case any of them are returning on tonight's train.
00:34:02Certainly.
00:34:02I'll give instructions to have the men completely at your disposal.
00:34:05Oh, that's very kind of you.
00:34:06Now, as I told you before, I feel sure there was at least one accomplice on the train.
00:34:10You mean the one you call the professor?
00:34:12Yes.
00:34:13It may be just a chance, but I don't want to overlook the slightest possibility.
00:34:17I have a good man following him.
00:34:18We'll get his report later.
00:34:20Well, that's fine.
00:34:21I'll keep in touch with you during the day.
00:34:23I'm returning to New York tonight.
00:34:24Thank you, Inspector.
00:34:25Goodbye.
00:34:31This is the most difficult case we've ever had.
00:34:34Why did he have to pick on us twice in the same place?
00:34:36Two days are the most concentrated work I have ever put in.
00:34:39At the end of it, what have we got?
00:34:40Just two clues.
00:34:41First, that both the diamond merchant and Jake Pringle got their reservations at the Ritz Plaza.
00:34:46And second, that a certain little drunk, who calls himself Professor,
00:34:49was on the train both times the robbery was committed.
00:34:51And that he lives at the end of East 12th Street.
00:34:52We're keeping a close watch on this professor all the time.
00:34:55That's fine.
00:35:01What you need, young lady, is some sleep.
00:35:03But first, how about something to eat and drink?
00:35:05You know that little spaghetti place that stays open late?
00:35:07You're getting to be a mind reader.
00:35:09Look, there's nothing further we can do tonight, Captain.
00:35:11I guess not.
00:35:12Come on, Dr. Watson.
00:35:13Okay, Mr. Holm.
00:35:22Good night.
00:35:23Come up again, eh?
00:35:30Mr. Len, what's the matter?
00:35:32You don't come to see me two, three weeks.
00:35:34Giuseppe, if I told you what I've been doing for the past two or three weeks, you wouldn't believe it.
00:35:37I know.
00:35:38If I was nice-looking fellow like you, I know what I'd do.
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:42You sit right here.
00:35:44I'm going to make it with ravioli for you.
00:35:50Ravioli like you never tasted before.
00:35:51Okay, Giuseppe, but leave the wine.
00:35:55Well, how's your appetite?
00:35:57Oh, not so good.
00:35:59What's the matter?
00:36:00Are you too tired?
00:36:01No.
00:36:03I know, darling.
00:36:05We've been working you too hard.
00:36:10Val, if my getting back those papers would have mean your life, I'd never forgive myself.
00:36:16Now, now, don't let it get you down.
00:36:19But, Val, it could so easily have been you on the other end of that coach instead of poor Brady.
00:36:23Look, honey, if you were to find those papers at home tomorrow in your handbag, I'd still have to go
00:36:28on.
00:36:28Don't forget there was a fortune lost in diamonds.
00:36:31Not to mention that it's my job to get the criminals who killed Brady.
00:36:34I know I can't stop you.
00:36:36I do realize that it's your work, but, Val, it frightens me.
00:36:42My dear Watson, your case is strictly elemental.
00:36:44What you need is little music.
00:36:46Maybe you're right, Mr. Holmes, but I'm no musician.
00:36:48Neither am I, but I'll do my best.
00:36:57Now, you stand right there.
00:37:04Well, I didn't know you could play.
00:37:06Oh, you know how it is.
00:37:07All great detectives have to have some outlet.
00:37:10When the toil of the day is over
00:37:15And my brow is knotted with care
00:37:19I feel you smooth the frowns away, dear
00:37:25With your quiet hands in my hair
00:37:30How do you like it?
00:37:31Oh, it's lovely.
00:37:32And when you put them in mine, dear
00:37:36Without words, I understand
00:37:41You are silently saying you love me
00:37:48With the touch of your quiet hands
00:37:59Young lady, I have a very important question
00:38:01I want to ask you
00:38:02And it concerns only us
00:38:04Oh, and if I refuse to answer, Mr. Lennon?
00:38:07How long have I known you, anyway?
00:38:10Oh, a couple of weeks, I guess
00:38:13It seems as though I've known you all my life
00:38:17Darling
00:38:18Hey, Mr. Lennon
00:38:19Your raviolis is coming right up
00:38:34Hey
00:38:45He's coming over to the house
00:38:47Get the other room
00:38:48Go into your rack
00:38:49Make it fast
00:39:06Oh
00:39:16Oh
00:39:16Hello, Joe
00:39:17Hello, Abel
00:39:18It's not that it does make me happy
00:39:20To have you call
00:39:21But
00:39:21What's the idea?
00:39:23Well, it's just a further checkup, Abel
00:39:25But don't take it personally
00:39:27I'm not going to take anything personally
00:39:28It seems to me
00:39:30You fellas are carrying this thing
00:39:31A little bit too far
00:39:40In your statement
00:39:41You said you didn't open the door of the baggage car
00:39:43When you heard that shot
00:39:44For the third time
00:39:46I didn't open the door of the baggage car
00:39:48So what?
00:39:54Do you live here alone?
00:39:55No
00:39:55My wife lives with me
00:39:57Where is she?
00:39:59May?
00:40:01Yes, Abel
00:40:01Come in here a minute
00:40:05Did you want something, Abel?
00:40:07I want you to meet one of the boys
00:40:08Mr. O'Neal
00:40:09He works down the railroad with me
00:40:10My wife
00:40:11How do you do?
00:40:12He's a railroad policeman
00:40:15Well, you see
00:40:15Abel was on the train
00:40:16When both robbers occurred
00:40:17And I was sent over here
00:40:19To check over your house
00:40:19I've got some crazy idea
00:40:21That maybe I saw the robber on the train
00:40:23The phantom robber
00:40:25What's on your matter for me
00:40:26You might say, lady
00:40:26You see, I get my orders
00:40:28And I have to carry them out
00:40:29Well, you haven't got anything to hide
00:40:30Have we, May?
00:40:31No
00:40:32But I sort of hate to have a stranger
00:40:34Oh, he isn't a stranger
00:40:36He's supposed to be a friend
00:40:38Well, it's all right, I guess
00:40:41But I do hope you won't mess up my linens
00:40:43No, I'll be careful
00:40:44Well, why don't you come with me, Mrs. Crans
00:40:46Maybe I'd better
00:40:47Men are pretty clumsy
00:41:15Well, I don't know what it's all about, Abel
00:41:16But I didn't find nothing
00:41:18I'm sorry, Mrs. Crans
00:41:19If I put you to any inconvenience
00:41:20But you know, I have to do my duty
00:41:22That's what I've always told Abel
00:41:23Duty is duty
00:41:24Even if it is unpleasant
00:41:26Well, good night, Abel
00:41:27Good night
00:41:27Good night, Mrs. Crans
00:41:28Good night
00:41:29You must come and see Abel again soon
00:41:37Well, I gotta hand it to you, kid
00:41:39You are swell
00:41:40You must come and see Abel again soon
00:41:49Well, that settles Abel Crans
00:41:52Perhaps we exaggerated his importance
00:41:53By thinking he was the only one of the train crew
00:41:55That could have had anything to do with it
00:41:56After all, you have to admit that
00:41:58Studying to become a train dispatcher
00:42:00Is a queer occupation for a crook
00:42:01Yeah
00:42:01The real accomplices will probably be found
00:42:03In the back of a big limousine
00:42:05Studying racing forms
00:42:06I suppose there's no way
00:42:07We could get a list of the names of the passengers
00:42:09We have a list of all the passengers
00:42:11But crooks don't give their real names
00:42:12Well, then you know the names of everyone
00:42:14That was on the train both times?
00:42:15Everyone, except one
00:42:17The crook
00:42:18Who got away after the robbery
00:42:19Well, then it would be possible to check
00:42:21And see if there was anyone on the train
00:42:23During both robberies
00:42:24We have
00:42:24But only one made the trip both ways
00:42:26That was our old friend called the professor
00:42:28Oh, by the way
00:42:29Montreal said that
00:42:30The professor delivered an envelope
00:42:32To a man there in the station
00:42:33Who made a successful getaway
00:42:34I can't get it out of my mind
00:42:36That he's mixed up in it somehow
00:42:37But still, he's not the type
00:42:39For that sort of work
00:42:39Maybe
00:42:40But they wouldn't hire anyone
00:42:42Very important to do
00:42:43What, after all, is only a messenger boy's job
00:42:44But nevertheless
00:42:45Isn't it rather a strange coincidence
00:42:47That he should have been picked
00:42:48To make the trip
00:42:48On the same occasion as both robberies
00:42:50And in the same car
00:42:54Yeah, yeah
00:42:54Well, look for your records
00:42:56And see where compartment
00:42:56E on the first trip
00:42:57And compartment D on the second trip
00:42:59Were booked
00:43:00That's right
00:43:00I'll hold on
00:43:04I just thought of another lead
00:43:06I'm checking on it now
00:43:09Hello
00:43:09Yeah
00:43:11Is that so
00:43:13Both from the Ritz Plaza
00:43:15Well, thank you
00:43:16You've been a big help
00:43:18Our first break
00:43:19We know that the diamond merchant
00:43:20And the gambler
00:43:21Both got their reservations
00:43:22At the Ritz Plaza
00:43:23And I just found out
00:43:24The professor got his
00:43:25At the same place
00:43:25Was that important?
00:43:27Important
00:43:27I'll say it's important
00:43:28Look
00:43:28The gambler
00:43:29The diamond merchant
00:43:30And the professor
00:43:30All got their reservations
00:43:32At the Ritz Plaza
00:43:32Now, that's more than a coincidence
00:43:34They were on the same train
00:43:35And in the same car
00:43:36Somebody in that hotel
00:43:37Had knowledge of the trips
00:43:38Those men were going to take
00:43:40I'm going to talk
00:43:40To that professor again
00:43:43Send a man over
00:43:44To pick up the professor
00:43:44And have him brought
00:43:45To Captain Harrigan's office
00:43:46Right away
00:43:47You'll be here in half an hour
00:43:48And we'll put him through the hoops
00:43:50What are your means of support?
00:43:51As an humble member
00:43:52Of our economic system
00:43:53In this machine age
00:43:55I, like everyone else
00:43:56Work
00:43:57You, uh
00:43:58Thought I had an income?
00:43:59I ask you
00:44:00Where you got the money to live
00:44:02You see in me, sir
00:44:03A professional traveler
00:44:08Now, this is serious business, professor
00:44:09Please come to the point
00:44:10Why did you travel?
00:44:12Where and for whom?
00:44:13Now you've placed your finger on it, sir
00:44:15The fly in the eye
00:44:16What happened, as it were
00:44:16I gladly proffer my destination
00:44:18And some slight reason for my trip
00:44:20But for whom?
00:44:21I cannot tell you
00:44:22All right, all right
00:44:23Now, one thing at a time
00:44:24Where did you go in Montreal?
00:44:26For a walk
00:44:27I want to treat you
00:44:28As politely as possible
00:44:29Now, you're mixed up
00:44:30In a serious affair
00:44:31And if you don't drop
00:44:32That attitude of yours
00:44:33I'm going to drop mine
00:44:34I am being accurate, sir
00:44:36I was hired to go to Montreal
00:44:38I was instructed to remain
00:44:40In my compartment
00:44:41Until the train arrived there
00:44:42Then I was to deliver
00:44:44A letter to a gentleman
00:44:45I should meet at a designated spot
00:44:47And did he show up?
00:44:49Definitely
00:44:49I delivered the letter
00:44:51Then my time was mine
00:44:53Until the train left
00:44:54For New York that night
00:44:55And as I say, sir
00:44:56I took a walk
00:44:57And you don't know
00:44:58The name of the man
00:44:59You delivered the letters to?
00:45:00Oh
00:45:00What was the name and address
00:45:02Of the man who hired you?
00:45:04How many trips
00:45:04Did you make to Montreal?
00:45:06Only two
00:45:06And both those trips
00:45:07Were made on a train
00:45:08Which was raw
00:45:09While you were on it
00:45:09A coincidence, my dear sir
00:45:11I give you my word
00:45:12Absolutely a coincidence
00:45:14I know nothing
00:45:15Whatever what occurred
00:45:16While I was on the train
00:45:17How did you get the job?
00:45:19I was seated
00:45:20At the park bench
00:45:21Taking the morning sun
00:45:22Which has been my want
00:45:23For some years
00:45:24When I idly picked up
00:45:25A newspaper
00:45:26Which some kind
00:45:27Sold had left
00:45:28And scammed the want ads
00:45:29Oh, not that I expected
00:45:30To find anything
00:45:31That would fit
00:45:32My peculiar talents
00:45:33But I ran across
00:45:34This advertisement
00:45:41Oh
00:45:59What was the name
00:46:00Of the man
00:46:01Who hired you?
00:46:02That I was given
00:46:02Fifty dollars
00:46:03Not to tell
00:46:04And we Van Bellens
00:46:06Never break fame
00:46:07Not when we're paid
00:46:08Fifty dollars
00:46:18All I can say is
00:46:19It was a richly furnished
00:46:20Apartment
00:46:21In a poor neighborhood
00:46:23My conversation
00:46:24With the gentleman
00:46:24Was of the briefest
00:46:26He merely handed me
00:46:27The ticket
00:46:28And the fifty dollars
00:46:29How did you get in touch
00:46:30With him the second trip?
00:46:32After the completion
00:46:33Of my first trip
00:46:34I ventured to call
00:46:35On him offering
00:46:35My services further
00:46:36He informed me
00:46:38He could offer me
00:46:38Odd jobs at intervals
00:46:40He took my telephone number
00:46:42And told me when to call
00:46:43To pick up the tickets
00:46:44The second time
00:46:47Well
00:46:47I don't know whether
00:46:48He's a lunatic
00:46:49Or a liar
00:46:49But at least he's consistent
00:46:51Stick a man with him
00:46:52Day and night
00:46:52Until this mysterious
00:46:53Employer of his
00:46:54Calls again
00:46:54Then we'll take up
00:46:55The trail from there
00:46:56Thus relieving me
00:46:57When he slurred
00:46:58Upon my honor
00:46:58And I can accept
00:47:00The fifty dollars
00:47:00With a clear conscience
00:47:01It was given to me
00:47:03Not to tell the name
00:47:04Of my employer
00:47:05And I shall not do so
00:47:07But however
00:47:08I cannot stop you
00:47:09From following me
00:47:10When I go there
00:47:16I don't like
00:47:17This plan of yours Val
00:47:18It's dangerous business
00:47:19Somebody's
00:47:20Yes I know
00:47:21What's got to be done
00:47:21But why not let Bain do it
00:47:23Bain has a wife
00:47:24Sure he has
00:47:25Unless I miss my guess
00:47:27You're going to have one
00:47:27Yourself before very long
00:47:29Why not give her a break
00:47:30Look I'm sure
00:47:31I've got this thing
00:47:31Figured out
00:47:32I'll stake my job on it
00:47:33If anything goes wrong
00:47:34I'll take the blame
00:47:36Well
00:47:37All I can say is
00:47:38Good luck Val
00:48:03Oh
00:48:04This is Joe
00:48:05Joe speaking
00:48:05Yeah
00:48:06A tall guy
00:48:07Frenchman
00:48:08Your car one
00:48:10Compartment D
00:48:11Yeah
00:48:12Ten thousand
00:48:13He's got it on him
00:48:18Another three days
00:48:19Of this professor
00:48:19And I'm going to go crazy
00:48:20I grant you
00:48:21This long confinement
00:48:23Is a bit irksome
00:48:24But my dear fellow
00:48:26Think of the millions
00:48:27At this precise moment
00:48:29Who are engaged
00:48:30In some arduous labor
00:48:31Yeah I guess so
00:48:32Mr. Van Bellen
00:48:34Telephone
00:48:37Bless you professor
00:48:38I'm going to be right behind you
00:48:40You know what to say
00:48:42I always know what to say
00:48:50Hello
00:48:51Yes
00:48:52This is Van Bellen
00:48:53Oh yes
00:48:54Quite free
00:48:55Very well
00:48:57Where
00:48:5938th and 9th Avenue
00:49:01Yes I understand perfectly
00:49:03Thank you so much
00:49:05What do you say
00:49:06He wants me to go again
00:49:08Says he's moved
00:49:08Wants me to pick up the ticket
00:49:11In an envelope
00:49:11At 38th and 9th Avenue
00:49:13Some sort of store
00:49:26Uh huh
00:49:26Captain Harrigan
00:49:27Conway speaking
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:29Contact has been made
00:49:31No he's picking him up
00:49:32At some store
00:49:33Okay captain
00:49:34I'll follow your instructions
00:49:42I've already made arrangements
00:49:43With the Pullman conductor
00:49:44For whatever space you need
00:49:45To plant your men
00:49:46Okay thanks
00:49:48Well I'd better get on board
00:49:49You know my compartment
00:49:50D
00:49:50Now I'll wait there
00:49:51You'll have your men planted
00:49:52Then you can come along
00:49:52And we'll make final arrangements
00:49:53That's right
00:49:54There's no use in you being here
00:49:55You might as well get back
00:49:56On the train
00:49:57And then when he comes aboard
00:49:58You can spot him
00:49:59I'll see you later
00:50:03Car 7
00:50:05Car 9
00:50:07Car 4
00:50:09Car 1
00:50:12Oh I feel awfully nervous
00:50:14You know I feel a little tight
00:50:15Inside myself
00:50:16You know just like
00:50:17When you used to play football
00:50:18Just before the first kickoff
00:50:21Car 3
00:50:24Car 6
00:50:26Car 7
00:50:27I haven't seen anyone
00:50:29That even resembled
00:50:29The man that robbed me
00:50:30Do you suppose he could
00:50:32Slip on board at the last moment
00:50:34You know I don't think
00:50:35This decoy business
00:50:35Of Val's is going to work
00:50:37I think he's fallen down
00:50:38This time
00:50:39Well don't forget
00:50:40We didn't see him last time
00:50:41In spite of watching
00:50:42Everyone that went on board
00:50:43Yet he was there
00:50:44That's right
00:50:45I have to hand it to him
00:50:46He's the phantom robber
00:50:47All right
00:50:48Well there goes
00:50:49The last passenger
00:50:50We better get aboard
00:50:52Oh just a moment please
00:50:53All right Liver
00:50:54You'll have to hurry
00:50:55If you want to make the train
00:51:11That's everything Abel
00:51:20Everything's okay Captain
00:51:21Car number one
00:51:22I want you to keep on the job
00:51:23Tonight Willie
00:51:23No going to sleep you know
00:51:24No Captain
00:51:25No sir
00:51:28Are you sure everything's all set
00:51:30Yes
00:51:30I've been able to spot my men
00:51:32Out of sight without anybody knowing
00:51:33But they told me
00:51:34They hadn't seen anyone
00:51:35Resembling the description
00:51:36Of the man
00:51:37Miss Marshall gave them
00:51:38Coming through the gates
00:51:38Or getting aboard the train
00:51:39No one's infallible
00:51:41I'll stake my reputation
00:51:42On having figured this case out
00:51:43I know the murderers
00:51:44On this train
00:51:45But why put your life
00:51:46At the mercy of a killer
00:51:47Oh Val
00:51:47I want you to drop the whole thing
00:51:49I don't want the papers
00:51:50At that price
00:51:51Look Mr. Gellert wants his diamonds
00:51:52Jake Pringle wants his money
00:51:53And I want that gang of crooks
00:51:55Now I know exactly
00:51:56What's going to happen
00:51:56I'm in no more danger than you are
00:51:58But why jeopardize your life
00:51:59For the sake of papers and diamonds
00:52:01But it's beyond that now
00:52:02That man killed a policeman
00:52:04I'm certain that sometime tonight
00:52:05He's coming in this compartment
00:52:06After this money
00:52:07And make sure when he comes out
00:52:09He doesn't see anyone
00:52:10Wait until he's in the front vestibule
00:52:11Before you come to release me
00:52:12I think we should grab him
00:52:13When he starts in
00:52:14Oh yes please Val
00:52:15Think what would happen to you
00:52:17If he got excited or alarmed
00:52:18Now don't you worry
00:52:19I'm not going to resist him
00:52:21Remember that
00:52:22Well
00:52:22We're going to be
00:52:24In this next compartment
00:52:24And if we hear anything alarming
00:52:26We're coming in here
00:52:28Plan or no plan
00:52:29Come on Miss Marshal
00:52:32But you will be careful Val
00:52:37All aboard
00:52:40All right Willie
00:52:41We're off
00:52:51And you stay right here Max
00:52:53Well were you able to plant your men
00:52:54All right Captain Harrigan
00:52:55Yes I have one on the berth
00:52:56On this car
00:52:57Max is going to stay here
00:52:58And I'm going to be in the compartment
00:52:59Next to Mr. Lennon

00:56:56Sure.
00:56:57What do you mean?
00:56:58Button up your trap.
00:57:01Turn over on your back.
00:57:03Come on!
00:57:27You have any trouble?

00:57:47Well, it went through without a hitch.
00:57:49And now for the rest of the plan.
00:57:50We've got to wait until the emergency car's been pulled and the train stopped.
00:57:52But why wait?
00:57:52But he escaped that way last time.
00:57:54He won't this time.
00:57:55Well, I've gone this far with your plan.
00:57:56I might as well go the rest of the way.
00:57:58I'll go back to the pullman and get the other man.
00:57:59Right.
00:58:00We'll wait here.
00:58:07Get Sam, quick!
00:58:20Come on, Sam.
00:58:20Let's go.
00:58:21Right.
00:58:24Hurry up, Dal, before we lose him.
00:58:25No, we won't.
00:58:26We've got him trapped this time.
00:58:27Well, I'm going with you.
00:58:28No, you promised to do as I asked.
00:58:30Now, I'll be back in no time.
00:58:31Come on, Harrigan.
00:58:32Let's go.
00:58:45Open up, Kranz!
00:58:46No one can come in here!
00:58:48Open up, Kranz.
00:58:49You're under arrest.
00:58:50You haven't got a chance.
00:58:51Open up, or we'll break it down.
00:59:14Open up, Kranz.
00:59:15Watch yourself, Captain.
00:59:27Well, Kranz won't bother us anymore.
00:59:29Now, where's the other one?
00:59:30Unless I miss my guess, he's in here.
00:59:33Give me a lift with that lid, Captain, and watch yourself.
00:59:51Well, that's the last of them.
01:00:12I'd like to extend my congratulations, Mr. Vell.
01:00:15Sure was pleased to hear about you and Miss Joan getting married.
01:00:17Thank you, Willie.
01:00:18Yes, sir.
01:00:19Marriage is a fine thing.
01:00:20Ain't nothing like mad life.
01:00:22Oh, Willie.
01:00:22Yes, sir.
01:00:23Get the rest of our bags, will you?
01:00:24Yes, sir.
01:00:27Darling.
01:00:34Mr. Leonard, when you start capturing people, you sure do a good job.
01:00:38If you want to watch your step, Willie, you may be next.
01:00:40Yes, sir, but I'm on my good behavior now, boss.
01:00:43Ain't gonna be no phantoms on this trip with you alone.
01:00:46Good night, sir.
01:00:47Good night.
01:00:49Mr. Holmes, you can't put me off any longer.
01:00:52How did you know that man was in the coffin?
01:00:54You remember the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. LaBelle that were being shipped to Montreal the time Brady was killed?
01:00:58Of course.
01:00:59Only one reached his destination.
01:01:01Oh.
01:01:02Well, where did the professor come in?
01:01:04We found that he was unwittingly escorting coffins, which the killer used as a means of getting off the train.
01:01:09My, my.
01:01:10Did I ever tell you what a clever man I married?
01:01:13And did he ever tell you the cleverest thing he ever did?
01:01:15Not yet.
01:01:17Tricking you into marrying you.
01:01:20Yeah.
01:01:24Okay.
01:01:24Yeah, yeah, it's about 20 years to come.
01:01:25There's nothing.
