1. Neale?Copy !req
2. - Oh, there you are.
- Come in.Copy !req
3. You know, it's interesting to watch
the last minute crawl by...Copy !req
4. after so many of them.Copy !req
5. I've always meant to have
that thing speeded up.Copy !req
6. It's a fine time to think of it.Copy !req
7. Free man.Copy !req
8. - You're not wasting any time, eh?
- Not if I can help it.Copy !req
9. Where do you plan to go?Copy !req
10. London.Copy !req
11. It's being heavily bombed
these nights.Copy !req
12. Don't you think some quiet town at first,
and get employment there for a while?Copy !req
13. I'm going to spend the first month
being pushed and jammed...Copy !req
14. by the biggest crowds I can find.Copy !req
15. I want to hear people
talk and laugh.Copy !req
16. After that clock,
a sea of faces will be a good tonic.Copy !req
17. Well, I don't blame you.
I'll walk to the gate with you.Copy !req
18. One parting thought, Neale:Copy !req
19. Don't get involved
with the police again in any way.Copy !req
20. A second charge wouldn't be easy.Copy !req
21. - A quiet life from here on.
- Well, good-bye and good luck.Copy !req
22. Thank you.Copy !req
23. ⁄⁄Copy !req
24. - Good evening to you.
- Evening. Ticket to London, please.Copy !req
25. Yes, sir.
In the wink of an eye.Copy !req
26. ⁄⁄Copy !req
27. - What's happening over there?
- That's our charity fête.Copy !req
28. The ladies are doing themselves
proud tonight.Copy !req
29. You might like to have a look at it
and spend a shilling or two.Copy !req
30. - It's well worth it.
- May I leave my things here?Copy !req
31. Certainly. Put 'em right there
on the bench.Copy !req
32. - I'll keep me eye on 'em.
- Thank you.Copy !req
33. - Good evening.
- Evening.Copy !req
34. - Will you join our party?
- Yes.Copy !req
35. The charge is a shilling.
Doesn't seem quite fair though.Copy !req
36. It's so late. If you wait five minutes,
you could go in at the reduced price.Copy !req
37. - It's all right.
- I always think it's fair to warn people.Copy !req
38. We don't want them to feel cheated,
even in a good cause, do we?Copy !req
39. No, no.
What is the cause?Copy !req
40. Mothers of the Free Nations.Copy !req
41. Catch it!Copy !req
42. Thank you.Copy !req
43. Come, now, children.
Come along.Copy !req
44. It's getting toward blackout time.
Now we'll have the treasure hunt.Copy !req
45. Go and get your spades and dig,
and mind the vicar's petunias.Copy !req
46. Now, run along. Run on.Copy !req
47. Young gentleman...Copy !req
48. won't you buy a ticket
and guess its weight?Copy !req
49. It's a shilling.
Whoever is closest wins it.Copy !req
50. - All right.
- Thank you.Copy !req
51. - Oh, uh, three pounds five ounces.Copy !req
52. A very good guess,
I should say.Copy !req
53. Your wife must have been
teaching you.Copy !req
54. I have no wife.Copy !req
55. Now you must try the fortune-teller's.
You really must.Copy !req
56. Mrs. Bellane is wonderful.
She told my son —Copy !req
57. I was just telling this gentleman
about Mrs. Bellane and my son.Copy !req
58. - Eh —
- Oh, I'll see her.Copy !req
59. Oh, thanks. How nice.Copy !req
60. Oh, isn't he a lovely gentleman?Copy !req
61. Sit down...Copy !req
62. and cross my palm with silver.Copy !req
63. Your hand.Copy !req
64. You're up to date here.
Electric light.Copy !req
65. First the character, then the past.
By law I'm not allowed to tell the future.Copy !req
66. Aha.Copy !req
67. You have found true contentment
in a happy marriage.Copy !req
68. - I am not married.
- Then you will be, heaven help the woman.Copy !req
69. Oh, don't be angry, please. I haven't
had as much pleasure in two years.Copy !req
70. - I mean it.
- Really?Copy !req
71. Well, then, let's get on with it.Copy !req
72. Now the past.Copy !req
73. This line that runs here —Copy !req
74. You have made one woman happy.Copy !req
75. Is something wrong?Copy !req
76. No.Copy !req
77. Nothing.Copy !req
78. Forget the past.
Just tell me the future.Copy !req
79. My instructions are these:Copy !req
80. What you want is the cake.Copy !req
81. You must give the weight...Copy !req
82. as 4 pounds 1 5 1 /2 ounces.Copy !req
83. - Well, is it the right weight?
- That's immaterial.Copy !req
84. Don't I hear any more fortune?Copy !req
85. No. You can go now.Copy !req
86. Well, thank you.Copy !req
87. I'll try it.Copy !req
88. - I would like to buy another chance.
- Bravo!Copy !req
89. That's a splendid idea!Copy !req
90. Splendid!Copy !req
91. I would say
4 pounds 1 5 1 /2 ounces.Copy !req
92. Lawks!Copy !req
93. Anybody could tell
you're a bachelor.Copy !req
94. As a matter of fact,
the gentleman has won it.Copy !req
95. He's not more than a fraction
of an ounce out.Copy !req
96. You'd better not eat too much.Copy !req
97. It'll be heavy as lead.Copy !req
98. On the contrary.
It's made with real eggs.Copy !req
99. There you are.Copy !req
100. - Thank you.
- Thank you.Copy !req
101. Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!Copy !req
102. Will the gentleman
with the cake please wait?Copy !req
103. Oh, I've made a terrible mistake
about the weight.Copy !req
104. I'm so sorry,
but it wasn't what you said.Copy !req
105. The real weight is three pounds
and two ounces...Copy !req
106. and the other gentleman won it.Copy !req
107. - What gentleman?
- There, with Mrs. Bellane.Copy !req
108. - What did he guess?
- Oh, much closer.Copy !req
109. Three pounds and eight ounces.Copy !req
110. In that case, I still win. My first guess
was three pounds and five ounces.Copy !req
111. Give the gentleman this shilling
and tell him you're awfully sorry.Copy !req
112. - Good night.
- But —Copy !req
113. You don't find
many good cakes these days.Copy !req
114. I told you it'd be worthwhile.Copy !req
115. Here's an empty one
where you can stretch out and sleep.Copy !req
116. There's no reading with those dim-out
lights. And keep the curtains drawn.Copy !req
117. - All right.
- The blasted Nazis'll be over in a bit.Copy !req
118. The red alert just went up.Copy !req
119. I hope our lads give 'em
a proper pasting.Copy !req
120. - Well, good night, sir.
- Good night. Thank you.Copy !req
121. - Hope they don't bomb the railway.
- I hope.Copy !req
122. Is there space here for one more?Copy !req
123. It's empty except for me.
Come in.Copy !req
124. - Here.Copy !req
125. - That's right.
- Thanks.Copy !req
126. - You're very kind.
- Not at all.Copy !req
127. Good to have company.Copy !req
128. Going through to London?Copy !req
129. Yes. They say the red's up.Copy !req
130. So I was told.Copy !req
131. It seems strange to hear people...Copy !req
132. tell of the blackout.Copy !req
133. I guess I'm better off than most...Copy !req
134. at getting about in the dark.Copy !req
135. I haven't been out much
at night myself.Copy !req
136. I hear the bombers
overhead every night.Copy !req
137. They pass over my farm
on their way to London.Copy !req
138. It's a dread sound.Copy !req
139. Yes, it is.Copy !req
140. - Would you like some cake?
- Cake?Copy !req
141. Yes. I won it
back there at the fête.Copy !req
142. You might as well share it with me.
It's a long way to a London restaurant.Copy !req
143. Well, if you're going
to have some —Copy !req
144. Here you are.Copy !req
145. Ah. Feel how light it is.Copy !req
146. Made with eggs.Copy !req
147. You'd think it was made with gold,
the way they wanted to hang on to it.Copy !req
148. I hear them now.Copy !req
149. - What?
- The Nazis.Copy !req
150. They must be trying
for the Blackmoor Factory.Copy !req
151. Some low buildings about a mile.Copy !req
152. That's it.Copy !req
153. It's a munitions plant.Copy !req
154. Excuse me. There didn't seem
to be anyone here.Copy !req
155. - What do you want?
- I'm looking for Mr. Rennit.Copy !req
156. I'm Mr. Rennit. You should
have made an appointment.Copy !req
157. Evidently you don't want clients.
Good morning.Copy !req
158. Now, now, now, now.
You don't want to lose your temper.Copy !req
159. I'm a busy man.
There are ways of doing things.Copy !req
160. Take a chair,
and we'll both have a drink.Copy !req
161. - Not a bad idea.
- It's an excellent idea.Copy !req
162. These raids — bad for the nerves.Copy !req
163. One must have a little something.Copy !req
164. One gets rattled.Copy !req
165. You'll excuse a teacup?Copy !req
166. I've never objected to stimulants...Copy !req
167. as stimulants.Copy !req
168. - Your health.
- I may need it.Copy !req
169. Now, to business.Copy !req
170. - Your name?
- Stephen Neale.Copy !req
171. Hmm.Copy !req
172. Have you a pencil?Copy !req
173. Thank you.Copy !req
174. How did you happen
to come to me?Copy !req
175. Because I don't like my hotel room being
ransacked while I'm out at breakfast.Copy !req
176. I don't like being robbed
on trains or shot at.Copy !req
177. Mr. Neale...Copy !req
178. this is a respectable business
with a tradition.Copy !req
179. I'm not Sherlock Holmes.Copy !req
180. A man in my position
doesn't go crawling about floors...Copy !req
181. with a microscope
looking for bloodstains.Copy !req
182. If you're in that kind of trouble,
you should go to the police.Copy !req
183. I don't wish to be
mixed up with the police.Copy !req
184. I'm sorry. It would've been worth
£20 to have you come with me.Copy !req
185. £20, eh?Copy !req
186. - W-Well, let's get on with it.
- I see.Copy !req
187. Yes, war plays the devil
with a business like this.Copy !req
188. Come on.Copy !req
189. You come in if there's trouble.Copy !req
190. Yes?Copy !req
191. - Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.Copy !req
192. I'm looking for the address
of a Mrs. Bellane.Copy !req
193. - No lady of that name works here.
- She was helping
with your charity fête at Lembridge.Copy !req
194. Oh, they were
voluntary helpers. I'm sorry.Copy !req
195. We can't possibly disclose...Copy !req
196. the addresses
of the voluntary helpers.Copy !req
197. Well, isn't there some way
I can get it?Copy !req
198. A mistake was made. She gave me
a cake that didn't belong to me.Copy !req
199. Well, it's against the rules...Copy !req
200. but I'll inquire.Copy !req
201. Will you come through, please?Copy !req
202. Come in, won't you?Copy !req
203. I'm terribly sorry...Copy !req
204. but I couldn't help it.Copy !req
205. People have baked some sad-looking
pastries to sell at our fêtes...Copy !req
206. - but was it as frightful as all that?
- "Frightful"?Copy !req
207. That you'd come all the way
from Lembridge to give it back.Copy !req
208. He hasn't any cake with him.Copy !req
209. Have a chair.Copy !req
210. You know, my sister has a —
a grim sense of humor.Copy !req
211. Well, if it had been any good,
he'd have eaten it.Copy !req
212. May I ask your name?Copy !req
213. - Stephen Neale.
- I'm Willi Hilfe.Copy !req
214. - Carla, Mr. Neale.
- How do you do?Copy !req
215. Who was it you wanted?Copy !req
216. A Mrs. Bellane.Copy !req
217. Bellane... Bellane.Copy !req
218. I don't remember any name like that.
We have so many of them.Copy !req
219. - Do you know her?
- No. Look in the index.Copy !req
220. Well —Copy !req
221. You're not supposed to give, uh —
Why do you want it?Copy !req
222. We got along quite famously,
and I'd like to see her next time I'm down...Copy !req
223. find out how the mix-up happened.Copy !req
224. Oh, I see.Copy !req
225. You got along famously?Copy !req
226. - Yes.
- Didn't her husband object?Copy !req
227. Has she a husband?Copy !req
228. It sounds like it.Copy !req
229. - "Missus."
- Yes, it does, doesn't it?Copy !req
230. "Bell"..."Belden"...Copy !req
231. "Bellane."Copy !req
232. Here she is.
Mrs. Rolf Bellane, a clairvoyant.Copy !req
233. - Is that the one?
- Yes.Copy !req
234. But she lives here in London.
209 Campden Lane.Copy !req
235. Canon Topping
recommended her.Copy !req
236. - Here you are.
- Thank you.Copy !req
237. Could any of your volunteers be using
this organization as their shield?Copy !req
238. - For what?
- Some kind of crime.Copy !req
239. Our dear old dowagers?
Oh, no!Copy !req
240. He tried to kill you?Copy !req
241. There's just one bullet left.Copy !req
242. He'd have used that
if the bomb hadn't got him.Copy !req
243. But it's — it's — it's fantastic.
The whole thing.Copy !req
244. I'd like to investigate
this Mrs. Bellane with you, Neale.Copy !req
245. - I'd like to have you.
- Oh, no, Willi. Please.Copy !req
246. If they tried to kill Mr. Neale...Copy !req
247. something might happen to you.Copy !req
248. Nonsense.Copy !req
249. If they use our charity fêtes,
I want to find out about it.Copy !req
250. - You may be right, Mr. Hilfe.
- Ah.Copy !req
251. She's just tired
of getting me out of scrapes.Copy !req
252. Got me out of Austria,
as a matter of fact.Copy !req
253. Grow some gray hairs, Afferl.
You'll be stunning.Copy !req
254. Come on, Neale.Copy !req
255. - Good-bye.
- Good-bye.Copy !req
256. - What do you want?Copy !req
257. - I-Is this Mr. Finney?
- No.Copy !req
258. No? I didn't think so.Copy !req
259. Is Mrs. Bellane at home?Copy !req
260. - Who is calling, please?
- Mr. Hilfe...Copy !req
261. secretary of the Mothers
of the Free Nations.Copy !req
262. Will you come in?Copy !req
263. Will you please wait a moment?Copy !req
264. - Oh, I see.
- She's not the one.Copy !req
265. - Mr. Hilfe?
- I'm Mr. Hilfe.Copy !req
266. - Uh, Mrs. —
- Bellane, yes.Copy !req
267. I've heard many of the ladies
speak of you.Copy !req
268. I should have paid a call
at your office long ago.Copy !req
269. I would have enjoyed it.Copy !req
270. May I present Mr. Neale?Copy !req
271. Mr. Neale,
are you one of our group?Copy !req
272. By adoption, yes.Copy !req
273. Mrs. Bellane?Copy !req
274. - Oh, I — I beg your pardon.
- We'll start at once, Doctor.Copy !req
275. I have a group
waiting for a séance.Copy !req
276. Won't you join us?
We can talk afterwards.Copy !req
277. Yes, we'd like to.Copy !req
278. Splendid.Copy !req
279. I want to tell you about our fête
at Lembridge. We took in over £100.Copy !req
280. Oh, uh, were you there?Copy !req
281. Yes.Copy !req
282. I told fortunes.Copy !req
283. I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
You especially, Mr. Newby.Copy !req
284. I know you have
to catch the early train.Copy !req
285. Not at all.Copy !req
286. Can you make room for Mr. Hilfe
over there, Doctor?Copy !req
287. - Certainly.
- This is Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
288. Mr. Hilfe.Copy !req
289. And you, Mr. Neale, over there.Copy !req
290. - Mr. Newby.
- How do you do?Copy !req
291. Miss Penteel.Copy !req
292. She has extraordinary powers
of painting the inner world.Copy !req
293. Colored rhythmic arrangements.Copy !req
294. Will you please form the circle?Copy !req
295. Now, if you will all join hands...Copy !req
296. before the lights fade.Copy !req
297. We mustn't break the circle.Copy !req
298. - The lights will —Copy !req
299. Oh, Mr. Cost.
I didn't think you were coming.Copy !req
300. Always those customers
at the last moment. May I?Copy !req
301. May I present our newcomers?
Mr. Neale, Mr. Cost.Copy !req
302. - How do you do?
- It seems we've met before.Copy !req
303. I'm sorry.
I don't believe I recall it.Copy !req
304. This is Mr. Hilfe, secretary
of the Mothers of the Free Nations.Copy !req
305. - How do you do?
- How do you do?Copy !req
306. The lights will fade now.Copy !req
307. Yes?Copy !req
308. Yes?Copy !req
309. I can't hear you.Copy !req
310. One of you won't...Copy !req
311. let her come through.Copy !req
312. Someone whose motives are evil.Copy !req
313. You can speak.Copy !req
314. There is no enemy here.Copy !req
315. [ Female Voice, Whispering ]
I had to find you.Copy !req
316. I watched it too, Stephen.Copy !req
317. Stephen, you sat there...Copy !req
318. watching the clock.Copy !req
319. I know.Copy !req
320. You waited for me to die.Copy !req
321. Was the poison strong enough?Copy !req
322. The clock stood still.Copy !req
323. You killed me. The poison!Copy !req
324. The clock stood still.
You murdered!Copy !req
325. Who speaks?
Who said that?Copy !req
326. - Don't break the circle!
- Who told you that?Copy !req
327. - Turn on the light!
- Turn on the light! The light!Copy !req
328. Cost! Look at Cost!Copy !req
329. What happened, Doctor?Copy !req
330. Look after her, will you?Copy !req
331. A doctor's no good, I'm afraid.Copy !req
332. There's only one thing to do:
call the police.Copy !req
333. He did it! He broke the circle!
All our hands were locked!Copy !req
334. I didn't kill him.Copy !req
335. - You have that revolver.
- But I didn't fire it.Copy !req
336. There was only one bullet left.
It's still there.Copy !req
337. You hold him here, Mr. Hilfe.
I'll ring up the police.Copy !req
338. I'll not be drawn into this. You will
excuse me. I have to catch my train.Copy !req
339. I'd advise you to stay,
Newby. The police will want all of us.Copy !req
340. Well, I'll not wait in here,
with him.Copy !req
341. Then go into the library.Copy !req
342. Wait for me, Mr. Newby.Copy !req
343. You have to believe me, Hilfe.Copy !req
344. I've only your word for it
that there was one bullet.Copy !req
345. It's the truth!Copy !req
346. I'm done if the police arrest me again,
and someone here knows it...Copy !req
347. - knows all about me.
- But why would they kill him?Copy !req
348. I don't know.Copy !req
349. He's the one who came
to Lembridge for the cake.Copy !req
350. Oh, I see.Copy !req
351. Give me a chance to find out, Hilfe.
I'll never clear myself behind bars.Copy !req
352. I'd like to, Neale...Copy !req
353. but I'd be in trouble myself
if I let you go.Copy !req
354. I'm an alien.Copy !req
355. You know what?Copy !req
356. You might knock me out.Copy !req
357. Go ahead.
It's a good alibi.Copy !req
358. But get away from London.Copy !req
359. Well, I've never said "thank you"
this way before.Copy !req
360. Mothers of the Free Nations.Copy !req
361. Mr. Neale?
This is Carla Hilfe.Copy !req
362. Is your brother there?Copy !req
363. No. There's a fête at Bloomsbury.Copy !req
364. He wanted to see
if there was anything —Copy !req
365. anything like Lembridge.Copy !req
366. - He told you what happened?
- Yes.Copy !req
367. He said the police didn't hold any
of the others. They're searching for you.Copy !req
368. I can imagine.Copy !req
369. Where will you hide?Copy !req
370. I don't know yet.
I thought I had a place...Copy !req
371. but it seems
my unknown friends got there first.Copy !req
372. Where are you now?Copy !req
373. Longacre and Bend?Copy !req
374. Wait there for me.Copy !req
375. Come along.Copy !req
376. Keep off the streets.
Down in the Tube.Copy !req
377. There's the entrance.Copy !req
378. Clear the streets, please.Copy !req
379. I was afraid you'd be gone.
The air raid.Copy !req
380. - I would have waited.
- I know a place.Copy !req
381. We can't get through now.
A girl I helped out of Austria...Copy !req
382. hid there until I got
her papers straightened out.Copy !req
383. Down to the Tube, please. Come along.
We expect them over at any moment.Copy !req
384. This way, please.Copy !req
385. - It's hot, isn't it?
- Yes.Copy !req
386. - Carla.
- What?Copy !req
387. I wonder if you realize
what it means...Copy !req
388. to stand all alone
on a dark corner...Copy !req
389. knowing that somewhere one person
is coming towards you to help.Copy !req
390. Yes.Copy !req
391. It was that way the first night
I stepped off the boat...Copy !req
392. in England.Copy !req
393. It changed things.Copy !req
394. I thought at first I could let you help
without telling you the truth, but —Copy !req
395. You didn't kill him?Copy !req
396. No. Not Cost.Copy !req
397. I was sentenced here in London
two years ago... for murder.Copy !req
398. What the voice said
at the séance.Copy !req
399. - Your brother told you?
- Yes.Copy !req
400. "Murderer."Copy !req
401. Perhaps I was,
if thinking of the thing...Copy !req
402. for months before you do it
makes you one.Copy !req
403. Lying awake every night
thinking of it...Copy !req
404. until at last you go out
and buy the drug.Copy !req
405. I bought it to kill my wife.Copy !req
406. She'd been ill for more than a year,
slowly wasting away.Copy !req
407. She couldn't stand
the pain any longer...Copy !req
408. and the doctors couldn't help her.Copy !req
409. We'd come all the way
from her plantation in Africa...Copy !req
410. and the doctors
couldn't do a thing.Copy !req
411. She begged me then,
day after day.Copy !req
412. I got the drug for her...Copy !req
413. carried it home.Copy !req
414. Then I couldn't go through with it.
I hid it in a drawer...Copy !req
415. and she found it.Copy !req
416. I didn't know
until just before she died.Copy !req
417. The pain was gone then.Copy !req
418. She smiled...Copy !req
419. and held my hand
while she fell asleep.Copy !req
420. I sat there for hours
holding her hand...Copy !req
421. watching the clock.Copy !req
422. Then it was dawn...Copy !req
423. and there wasn't any more pain.Copy !req
424. The court called it a mercy killing.
Sent me to an asylum.Copy !req
425. I wasn't mad, you see...Copy !req
426. but the law called for it.Copy !req
427. I don't know
if I was right even now.Copy !req
428. Anyway, you know.Copy !req
429. Yes.Copy !req
430. - It makes a difference?
- No.Copy !req
431. I'd still like to help.Copy !req
432. What?Copy !req
433. He was the one at Rennit's office.Copy !req
434. All clear.Copy !req
435. What time is it?Copy !req
436. Almost 5:00.Copy !req
437. Did you sleep?Copy !req
438. I thought our friend
with the fingernails might come back.Copy !req
439. You won't need to worry
where I'm taking you.Copy !req
440. Let's leave.Copy !req
441. Here we are.Copy !req
442. Not a word.
No murder, no Bellane, nothing.Copy !req
443. - Why would the police keep it quiet?
- I don't know, but they have.Copy !req
444. Probably want to keep me happy.Copy !req
445. Ah, Miss Hilfe. Come in.Copy !req
446. Come in.Copy !req
447. I'm sorry to disturb you
so early, Mr. Newland...Copy !req
448. but I had to see you.Copy !req
449. You don't visit me often enough.Copy !req
450. And who is this young man?Copy !req
451. - Mr. Neale. Mr. Newland.
- How do you do?Copy !req
452. In trouble, eh?
Come along.Copy !req
453. You are very lucky, Mr. Neale...Copy !req
454. having this young lady for a friend.Copy !req
455. She's always helping people.Copy !req
456. - You aren't Austrian?
- No, British.Copy !req
457. He has to hide for a few weeks.Copy !req
458. He isn't guilty,
but the police are looking for him.Copy !req
459. Fine, fine.
The room where Maria stayed, eh?Copy !req
460. - Do you mind?
- Not at all.Copy !req
461. - What is it?
- Noticed a book here —Copy !req
462. The Psychoanalysis of Nazidom,
by Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
463. That's selling very well.
Bring a copy along, if you'd like.Copy !req
464. - Thank you. I will.
- Who is Dr. Forrester?Copy !req
465. He's a psychiatrist.
Getting quite famous here.Copy !req
466. Sort of advisor
to the Ministry of Home Security.Copy !req
467. Writes propaganda.
Interesting fellow too.Copy !req
468. Purchases books from me
now and then.Copy !req
469. Here you are.Copy !req
470. - Customers!Copy !req
471. Sometimes I loathe people
who like to read.Copy !req
472. Customers.Copy !req
473. "Ministry for Home Security."Copy !req
474. That's a nice place
to be an advisor —Copy !req
475. at the heart
of Britain's defense system.Copy !req
476. - You don't think he's a —
- He's a friend of Mrs. Bellane's...Copy !req
477. and Cost wasn't after that cake
because he was hungry.Copy !req
478. But that doesn't make
the doctor a spy...Copy !req
479. just because he went to a séance,
any more than you or Willi.Copy !req
480. I wonder if they're listed
in your volunteers.Copy !req
481. Oh. Now the Mothers
of the Free Nations...Copy !req
482. are turning into a spy ring.Copy !req
483. Next you'll have me one.Copy !req
484. No. You don't look like one.Copy !req
485. Well, you can forget it. Willi and I
have run that office for three years.Copy !req
486. And your dear old dowagers.
I know.Copy !req
487. But Mrs. Bellane was listed.Copy !req
488. Why not some of the others?Copy !req
489. Dr. Forrester, Cost,
Newby, Miss Penteel?Copy !req
490. The artist?
Was she there?Copy !req
491. You know her?Copy !req
492. I've never met her, but...Copy !req
493. she has a studio
in the Old Arts Centre.Copy !req
494. She auctioned off
some paintings for us.Copy !req
495. The volunteer?Copy !req
496. Yes.Copy !req
497. I'm going back to the office and look
through every card in our files.Copy !req
498. - Still angry?
- Of course.Copy !req
499. A woman always hates
to be wrong.Copy !req
500. Good.Copy !req
501. Will you have dinner
with me tonight?Copy !req
502. I'll meet you here.Copy !req
503. Well, Mr. Neale.
You do get about.Copy !req
504. I was just thinking the same.Copy !req
505. Aren't you afraid of the police?Copy !req
506. When they're nearby, yes.Copy !req
507. It'd be a shame
if they found you there.Copy !req
508. The building has
a bad enough reputation.Copy !req
509. Won't you come in?Copy !req
510. - Going to hold a séance here?
- No.Copy !req
511. The last one was quite enough
for a while, thanks to you.Copy !req
512. - You don't trust me?
- No.Copy !req
513. - Where's Miss Penteel?
- Shopping. It's just as well.Copy !req
514. You frightened her to death
once already.Copy !req
515. Won't you sit down?Copy !req
516. Whiskey and soda?Copy !req
517. Thank you.Copy !req
518. What did you have
against Mr. Cost?Copy !req
519. I didn't kill him,
and you know it.Copy !req
520. You're most attractive
when you're lying.Copy !req
521. I'd even enjoy hearing you say
you were interested in me.Copy !req
522. I am.Copy !req
523. How did you know about me?Copy !req
524. That microphone,
or whatever it was.Copy !req
525. I always try to frighten people
the first time they come to a séance.Copy !req
526. They love it. I never thought
it would make you start shooting.Copy !req
527. How did you know about me?Copy !req
528. Your trial testimony
was in all the papers...Copy !req
529. and my assistants keep
an excellent file on people.Copy !req
530. They couldn't have looked me up
as quickly as all that.Copy !req
531. You'd be surprised.Copy !req
532. You surprise me continually.Copy !req
533. Did it ever occur to you
that some women like affection...Copy !req
534. even better than conversation?Copy !req
535. So do some men...Copy !req
536. if they're sure they're not
going to be shot any moment.Copy !req
537. Take the bullets out of it
if you want to.Copy !req
538. I only carry it for protection.Copy !req
539. You don't miss much.Copy !req
540. I seem to be missing
a lot today.Copy !req
541. You're a strange person.Copy !req
542. I tell you all my trade secrets,
and still you don't trust me.Copy !req
543. Why did you say
you told fortunes at Lembridge?Copy !req
544. Why? Because I did.
I was there.Copy !req
545. You weren't the one
who told mine.Copy !req
546. Oh! That female battleship...Copy !req
547. with the moons and stars?Copy !req
548. - That's the one.
- She was some Lembridge woman.Copy !req
549. She wanted to keep the booth open
after I left and practice her palmistry.Copy !req
550. Well, she did,
and I got the cake.Copy !req
551. I suppose you don't know
about that either.Copy !req
552. Of course.
But how did you get it?Copy !req
553. - What was in it?
- I don't know.Copy !req
554. Was there supposed to be
something in it?Copy !req
555. That's the truth.
The lady in the cake booth...Copy !req
556. asked me to let
her gentleman friend win it.Copy !req
557. If someone came to me and said,
"Don't bother about the past.Copy !req
558. Tell me the future,"
I was to give him the correct weight.Copy !req
559. - Did you say that?
- Something like it.Copy !req
560. Oh, well, that explains it.Copy !req
561. Now are you happy?Copy !req
562. I've got exactly nowhere.Copy !req
563. - Neither have I.Copy !req
564. Come in, Martha.Copy !req
565. Police! Help!Copy !req
566. Murder! Police! Police!Copy !req
567. - She would.
- I'll keep the gun.Copy !req
568. To remember me by?
You might need it.Copy !req
569. You should know.Copy !req
570. Won't I see you again?Copy !req
571. Yes.Copy !req
572. Oh, there you are.
I was worried about you last night.Copy !req
573. - That was a pasting.
- I know.Copy !req
574. I got caught in it.Copy !req
575. What's this?
A housecleaning?Copy !req
576. It's going to be.Copy !req
577. We've been patriotically
slaving for three years...Copy !req
578. to help a spy ring.Copy !req
579. What? Oh, nonsense!Copy !req
580. Here. Look at these.Copy !req
581. "Adamson." Never heard of him.
"Aiken."Copy !req
582. Both recommended
by Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
583. - "Alpock."
- Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
584. - "Cost."
- Newby, Penteel.Copy !req
585. All those at the séance.
All recommended by Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
586. And he works
for the Ministry of Home Security.Copy !req
587. - How did these get in our files?
- I don't know.Copy !req
588. Get Mrs. Merrick in here.Copy !req
589. Yes?Copy !req
590. Do you know
how these cards got here?Copy !req
591. "Mr. Aiken." Oh, yes.
I remember filing him.Copy !req
592. His name struck me
as so odd.Copy !req
593. This is one of the batches
you mailed me.Copy !req
594. - I mailed you?
- Yes, from Kent...Copy !req
595. while you were
on your holidays last year.Copy !req
596. - I've never seen them before.
- Oh, but I'm sure, Miss Hilfe.Copy !req
597. They're just as you always send them
from meetings and such.Copy !req
598. I, uh — I may be wrong.
Thank you, Mrs. Merrick.Copy !req
599. Oh, not at all.Copy !req
600. They even know
how we mail our cards.Copy !req
601. They're Nazis, Willi. I know it.
The same as they were in Austria.Copy !req
602. It's the way they work —
all around you...Copy !req
603. knowing about everybody,
everything — where to find you.Copy !req
604. - That night they hunted us —
- Carla.Copy !req
605. Not the old fear again?
We aren't there now.Copy !req
606. - But they're here, in London.
- You're imagining too much.Copy !req
607. Something's going on...Copy !req
608. but you can't charge people
with being Nazis...Copy !req
609. just because they belong
to a — to a charity...Copy !req
610. especially an advisor
to the Ministry.Copy !req
611. - The police would laugh at us.
- That is what I told Stephen, at first.Copy !req
612. - Stephen?
- Mr. Neale.Copy !req
613. He's the one that thought of searching
the cards, and he was right.Copy !req
614. I'm going to show them to him.Copy !req
615. Wait a minute.
How did you get in touch with him?Copy !req
616. He telephoned for you.
He's safe now.Copy !req
617. I took him to the bookshop
where I hid Maria.Copy !req
618. - I wish you hadn't done that.
- Why not? You're helping him.Copy !req
619. Yes, I know.Copy !req
620. But I'd rather you didn't get
mixed up with him.Copy !req
621. But why, Willi?Copy !req
622. You don't think he killed
that man, Cost?Copy !req
623. I didn't... then.Copy !req
624. I've checked up on him. He was
sentenced for murder two years ago.Copy !req
625. He told me.
But it wasn't murder.Copy !req
626. Even the court called it
a mercy killing.Copy !req
627. And you still want to help him?Copy !req
628. Yes.Copy !req
629. You're not, uh, falling in love
with him, by any chance?Copy !req
630. Yes...Copy !req
631. very much.Copy !req
632. I can go to
the Ministry of Home Security...Copy !req
633. at least try to tell them.Copy !req
634. They'd suspect you
before anyone else.Copy !req
635. It's your organization. You're aliens.
You can't take that chance.Copy !req
636. We took longer chances
than this in Austria.Copy !req
637. You're not afraid?Copy !req
638. - Yes.
- Good.Copy !req
639. So am I.Copy !req
640. When I left Lembridge,
I told Dr. Morton...Copy !req
641. I was coming to London
to spend a quiet life.Copy !req
642. It's been like riding
down the side of a whirlpool.Copy !req
643. From what you say
about the Ministry...Copy !req
644. Willi and I are only
a half turn behind you.Copy !req
645. We'll get out of it, all right...Copy !req
646. even if I have to drown
some of these Free Mothers first.Copy !req
647. - You wouldn't object?
- No.Copy !req
648. Someday, when I get back
to that quiet life, I —Copy !req
649. I want to ask you
if you'd be interested in it too.Copy !req
650. Willi asked me
if I was falling in love with you.Copy !req
651. And?Copy !req
652. I said... yes.Copy !req
653. Newland's Bookshop.
Oh, Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
654. A pleasure to hear from you, sir.Copy !req
655. I've found a set for you.Copy !req
656. OxfordMedicine, by Christian.Copy !req
657. Nineteen volumes.
Is that correct?Copy !req
658. Tonight?Copy !req
659. I don't know.
You're quite far out.Copy !req
660. Oh, here? Just a moment.Copy !req
661. Regal...Copy !req
662. Court...Copy !req
663. flat...Copy !req
664. twenty-nine.Copy !req
665. Has the porter a key?Copy !req
666. Right. I'll have it there
before blackout time.Copy !req
667. Miss Hilfe, did you hear that?Copy !req
668. Yes.Copy !req
669. Nineteen volumes!Copy !req
670. Are you two going out
to get some dinner tonight?Copy !req
671. - We'll drop them off for you.
- Would you?Copy !req
672. Thank you very much.Copy !req
673. A book is all right
for mental stimulation...Copy !req
674. but if there's anything I loathe,
it's struggling about the streets...Copy !req
675. with great quantities of print.Copy !req
676. You spoke of the porter.
Won't the doctor be there?Copy !req
677. No. He's out at his nursing home.Copy !req
678. Has a collection of maniacs
he psychoanalyzes.Copy !req
679. It's Regal Court, flat 29.Copy !req
680. The porter will let you in.
Put them anywhere.Copy !req
681. And please don't forget my valise.
Leather's hard to get.Copy !req
682. All right.Copy !req
683. Thank heaven
for youth and strength.Copy !req
684. Twenty-nine? Yes, sir.Copy !req
685. Mr. Travers left orders
to let you in.Copy !req
686. "Travers"?
But these are for Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
687. You must be wrong, sir.
We haven't any Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
688. But 29 is right,
and Mr. Travers is expecting books.Copy !req
689. We have had
some incorrect names, sir,Copy !req
690. where a gentleman
has a hideout from his wife...Copy !req
691. but those gentlemen were not
spending their time with books.Copy !req
692. - There you are, sir.
- Thank you.Copy !req
693. Not at all, sir.Copy !req
694. "Travers," eh?Copy !req
695. He needs a few books!Copy !req
696. Nobody lives here.Copy !req
697. No cigarettes,
no personal belongings, nothing.Copy !req
698. The line's dead.Copy !req
699. We'll save Mr. Newland's leather
and get out of this place.Copy !req
700. Awake, eh?Copy !req
701. You've been hard to find,
Mr. Neale.Copy !req
702. Who was the girl?Copy !req
703. - What girl?
- That went into the flat with you.Copy !req
704. - I was alone.
- You were when we found you.Copy !req
705. - The porter saw her go in.
- That's very interesting.Copy !req
706. A mysterious girl.Copy !req
707. I don't see her, and you don't...Copy !req
708. but the porter does.Copy !req
709. Did you kill her too?Copy !req
710. You're much better
at that occupation...Copy !req
711. with your bombs in suitcases.Copy !req
712. Oh, now it's my bomb, eh?Copy !req
713. Or one of your Nazi friends.Copy !req
714. Nazis, bombs.Copy !req
715. They shouldn't have let you
out of that asylum, Mr. Neale.Copy !req
716. - We ought to have a record of all this.
- I've said all I have to say.Copy !req
717. You'll say quite a bit more
before you leave here.Copy !req
718. And just where am I?Copy !req
719. Scotland Yard.Copy !req
720. - Where'd you think?Copy !req
721. Inspector.Copy !req
722. Stephen Neale.
Questioning by Inspector Prentice.Copy !req
723. File number 2H-LJ-14.
murder.Copy !req
724. I didn't kill him.Copy !req
725. - Who didn't you kill?
- Cost, at Mrs. Bellane's place.Copy !req
726. We haven't heard
about that one.Copy !req
727. But the police were there
when we had the séance.Copy !req
728. There's been
no such murder reported.Copy !req
729. A friend of mine saw them.
They questioned him.Copy !req
730. What friend?Copy !req
731. You wouldn't know him.Copy !req
732. - They must have posed as police too.
- Who?Copy !req
733. The people at the séance,
the ones who tried to kill me.Copy !req
734. They're enemy agents — Mrs. Bellane,
Dr. Forrester, the psychiatrist.Copy !req
735. Forrester?Copy !req
736. Not the advisor to the Ministry?Copy !req
737. Yes. He telephoned Newland
at his bookshop to kill me with that bomb.Copy !req
738. Have the doctor give him a sedative.
I'll talk to him later.Copy !req
739. Wait. You asked for the truth,
you listen to it.Copy !req
740. I have all their names.
Look at the cards in my coat.Copy !req
741. There weren't any cards in your coat.
Spies, séances —Copy !req
742. You've been very careful
not to mention George Rennit.Copy !req
743. - Rennit?
- When you're ready to tell me...Copy !req
744. what you did to him,
let me know.Copy !req
745. I didn't do anything to him.Copy !req
746. No, I didn't think so.
Of course you didn't.Copy !req
747. He left his office with you.
Wasn't seen again alive.Copy !req
748. His body was found near
Battersea Bridge. He was bludgeoned.Copy !req
749. You are charged
with his deliberate murder.Copy !req
750. I don't know what happened to him.
I didn't even know he disappeared...Copy !req
751. until I got back to his office.Copy !req
752. Well, that's better.Copy !req
753. You were with him, then.Copy !req
754. Yes, I retained him to find out
why they tried to kill me.Copy !req
755. They were after something
hidden in a cake that I won.Copy !req
756. Cake?Copy !req
757. I know I sound insane.Copy !req
758. You are, without doubt.Copy !req
759. Inspector, wait, please.Copy !req
760. I know my record.Copy !req
761. You can send me back
to the asylum on any charge.Copy !req
762. I don't care what you do with me.
But you can't take it on yourself...Copy !req
763. to say that German agents
aren't working here in London.Copy !req
764. You saw that bombed apartment.
I tell you, they did it.Copy !req
765. - I ask you for one fair chance to prove it.
- Name it.Copy !req
766. It's a long chance,
but it's the only one I have.Copy !req
767. There's a bomb crater
at Blackmoor Factory near Lembridge.Copy !req
768. I want to search it to see if there's
any trace of what was in that cake.Copy !req
769. There was a cake.Copy !req
770. Where was he standing?Copy !req
771. Here, by the corner.Copy !req
772. Here.Copy !req
773. Cover every bit of ground.Copy !req
774. Here is a coat.Copy !req
775. Or what's left of it.Copy !req
776. - The blind man's?
- Yes.Copy !req
777. It's the piece from that gun.Copy !req
778. - Rather convenient for you to find it.
- At least I was here.Copy !req
779. It might be your gun
that you used on him.Copy !req
780. There's nothing about spies on it.Copy !req
781. - Inspector, is this anything?
- The cake box.Copy !req
782. Or part of it.Copy !req
783. - Where was it?
- The edge of the crater.Copy !req
784. A bird was pecking away at it.Copy !req
785. Where did he find it?Copy !req
786. It must be here somewhere.Copy !req
787. If we could sift this dirt —Copy !req
788. Drive over to the factory.
Get some screens and shovels.Copy !req
789. Yes, sir.Copy !req
790. He was ruddy well
scattered about.Copy !req
791. That does it, sir.Copy !req
792. Satisfied?Copy !req
793. - Pack up.
- Very good, sir.Copy !req
794. I never used to like birds.Copy !req
795. What is it?Copy !req
796. Drawings or something.Copy !req
797. We'll ask the Ministry.Copy !req
798. Watkins, turn it off.Copy !req
799. I don't know how they could
have been photographed.Copy !req
800. I assume full responsibility.Copy !req
801. They've only been out
of the vault twice —Copy !req
802. for the Saturday conference...Copy !req
803. and yesterday.Copy !req
804. They would have killed more than
one man to recover these, Mr. Neale.Copy !req
805. They're the new embarkation plans
and our Channel minefields.Copy !req
806. - We've been a great help.
- Mr. Neale can identify some of them, sir.Copy !req
807. With your permission,
I'll get along with arresting them.Copy !req
808. - They might still have prints.
- I doubt it...Copy !req
809. or they wouldn't have gone
to such lengths to recover the negative.Copy !req
810. I don't think we can take it for granted
that the charts are safe.Copy !req
811. I don't either, sir. I think someone
came here and photographed them...Copy !req
812. again yesterday.Copy !req
813. You said that they were
out of the vaults again.Copy !req
814. - Yes.
- This Dr. Forrester —Copy !req
815. He hasn't been here for two weeks.Copy !req
816. He's done splendid work
for the Ministry, Inspector.Copy !req
817. - Hard to believe that he's involved.
- Perhaps not, sir.Copy !req
818. Were any of his friends
here both days?Copy !req
819. Not that I know of.Copy !req
820. That tailor he recommended
was here again yesterday.Copy !req
821. Measured Parkins for a suit.Copy !req
822. Mr. Travers?Copy !req
823. - May I speak, sir?
- Surely.Copy !req
824. Someone named Travers
leased that apartment...Copy !req
825. where Inspector Prentice
found me.Copy !req
826. - Could you tell me his firm, sir?
- Travers and Brathwaite.Copy !req
827. May I use your phone?
Thank you, sir.Copy !req
828. Would you get me
Travers and Brathwaite, tailors?Copy !req
829. Are you there?
This is Mr. Pauling.Copy !req
830. Would it be possible to be measured
for a suit this afternoon?Copy !req
831. 5:30. I'll be there.
Thank you.Copy !req
832. With your permission, sir.Copy !req
833. Mrs. Bellane,
209 Campden Lane.Copy !req
834. Miss Penteel, Old Arts Centre.Copy !req
835. She keeps yelping for the police
every time she sees me.Copy !req
836. Newland, Newland's Bookshop.
That's all.Copy !req
837. Bring 'em in.Copy !req
838. Yes, sir.Copy !req
839. Why are you protecting that girl?Copy !req
840. - There wasn't any girl.
- And that friend you mentioned?Copy !req
841. I've told you everything I know
that can be of help.Copy !req
842. My friends have nothing to do with it.
I don't want them involved.Copy !req
843. That's a fair answer.Copy !req
844. Follow me in five minutes.Copy !req
845. - Good afternoon.
- Oh, good afternoon.Copy !req
846. - What can we do for you, sir?
- I'd like to see Mr. Travers, please.Copy !req
847. Certainly, sir.
Won't you please take a chair?Copy !req
848. I'll tell him you're waiting, sir.Copy !req
849. The gentleman over there, sir.Copy !req
850. One moment, Mr. Pauling.Copy !req
851. - Good tweeds here, Travers.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
852. - Good afternoon, Mr. Travers.
- Good afternoon.Copy !req
853. You wish to see me, sir?Copy !req
854. There's no one I'd rather see.Copy !req
855. I don't understand.Copy !req
856. Excuse me one moment.Copy !req
857. Hello. Mr. Macklin?Copy !req
858. This is Travers and Brathwaite.Copy !req
859. Your suit was dispatched
an hour ago, sir...Copy !req
860. I trust in time for your journey.Copy !req
861. Thank you very much, sir.
I felt very satisfied myself...Copy !req
862. at the last fitting.Copy !req
863. Oh, yes, sir.
I think when you've worn it once...Copy !req
864. you'll find the shoulders will settle.Copy !req
865. No, sir.
I find we'll not be able to...Copy !req
866. repeat the trousers.Copy !req
867. Oh, it isn't a matter
of coupons, sir.Copy !req
868. The manufacturers have
no more of the pattern.Copy !req
869. Personally,
I have no hope, sir.Copy !req
870. No hope at all.Copy !req
871. Prentice!Copy !req
872. Police!Copy !req
873. He's Cost, the one at the séance.Copy !req
874. Excuse me.Copy !req
875. - There's Travers.
- That's Travers, huh?Copy !req
876. Hello?Copy !req
877. Is anyone there?Copy !req
878. - Oh.
- Oh.Copy !req
879. - Why didn't you deliver Mr. Macklin's suit?
- I did, guv'nor, just before I came here.Copy !req
880. - You must've gone to the wrong address.
- No, sir.Copy !req
881. 46 Prince Consort Mansions,
like it had on the box.Copy !req
882. That's all right, then.Copy !req
883. Mr. Travers was quite put out.Copy !req
884. Oh.Copy !req
885. Neale.Copy !req
886. Why, Carla said —Copy !req
887. Come in here, man.
We thought you'd been killed.Copy !req
888. Not quite.Copy !req
889. Carla took me back to that apartment.
You disappeared. What happened?Copy !req
890. - Is she here?
- Yes.Copy !req
891. Carla.Copy !req
892. Finally saved up enough coupons...Copy !req
893. to buy a decent suit.Copy !req
894. Carla.Copy !req
895. - Yes?Copy !req
896. He isn't a ghost.
You'd better tell her.Copy !req
897. - Why did you come here?
- Why not?Copy !req
898. The man saved your life.
Aren't you going to thank him?Copy !req
899. He'll kill you, Stephen!Copy !req
900. He's the one who tried
to kill us with that bomb.Copy !req
901. He gives the orders,
not Dr. Forrester.Copy !req
902. There wasn't much else to do.Copy !req
903. You were both finding out too much,
and you wouldn't stop.Copy !req
904. It was too good
a charity to lose.Copy !req
905. And you'd kill
your sister to save it?Copy !req
906. You killed your wife.Copy !req
907. People do such things
under the strain of necessity.Copy !req
908. We've always been very close.Copy !req
909. I was really happy
when I found her alive.Copy !req
910. Put your hat and coat on.
We're leaving.Copy !req
911. Vorwärts!Copy !req
912. The trouble with me is
I like people too much.Copy !req
913. I liked you at first.Copy !req
914. That's why I tried
to frighten you out of London.Copy !req
915. I was quite happy
letting you hit me on the jaw.Copy !req
916. I'm fond of that memory myself.Copy !req
917. But you're
a persistent man, Neale.Copy !req
918. If I had known that you were
going to keep on messing about...Copy !req
919. you would have never left
Mrs. Bellane's alive.Copy !req
920. Are you ready, Carla?Copy !req
921. - Yes.
- It's a pity, Neale.Copy !req
922. You could have led
a very peaceful life.Copy !req
923. The films are sewed up
in that suit, aren't they?Copy !req
924. Oh, yes. Cost said
the shoulders would settle.Copy !req
925. Killing me won't get you
out of England, Hilfe. You're through.Copy !req
926. Give me the gun, Carla.Copy !req
927. Give me the coat.Copy !req
928. You wouldn't shoot
your brother, Carla.Copy !req
929. Come.Copy !req
930. They're on the stairs.Copy !req
931. - Can you make it?
- Yes.Copy !req
932. Come on!Copy !req
933. Put out the lights down there!Copy !req
934. - Are they coming?
- I don't know.Copy !req
935. Get the other magazine
out of the coat.Copy !req
936. I've always dreamed
of having a church wedding.Copy !req
937. We'll have music,
flowers, and a big cake.Copy !req
938. Cake?Copy !req
