All language subtitles for The Invisible Ray

Diana?

Yes, mother Rukh.

Janos is still in the
laboratory, of course?

Yes, he's checking his equipment

before the people
from England arrive.

I'm to let him know when
I see the lights of the car.

It was on such a
night that Janos

first caught his ray
from Andromeda.

Your father worked the guides.

I held the detecting lens,
and never saw again.

Dear mother Rukh.

My son will not learn
until too late, I fear,

that the universe is very large,

and there are some secrets
we are not meant to probe.

Janos says the electricity
will help the demonstration.

He is wrong to
demonstrate to these people.

Who are they?

Pygmies that scoff at a giant,

who have said that
he is only a visionary,

unscientific, a charlatan, huh.

He's greater than all of them.

He sent for them.

If he had waited, one day
they would have begged,

begged to come to him.

I see the car now.

I'll tell Janos.

Janos?

Janos?

Diana.

They're coming up the grade.

Sir Francis Stevens
and the great Dr. Benet

from the university of Paris.

What do they know?

What will they ever know?

I'll take them somewhere
they've never been.

Back into time.

It will work well tonight.

I'm sure and I'm ready.

They'll never laugh at me again.

Janos.

They'll be here any minute.

You must prepare to meet them.

Come.

Yes, yes.

I'm Diana Rukh.

My husband will
be here presently.

I'm Lady Stevens.

This is my husband, Sir Francis.

How do you do?

And this is Dr. Benet.

Madame.

How do you do?

And this is my
nephew, Ronald Drake.

How do you do?

May I present you to my
husband's mother, frau Rukh.

How do you do?

Oh, what a lovely fire.

I hope you didn't have
too bad a time coming up.

It really is rather
a terrible trip.

Oh, I don't mind anything,

but my poor sit-downish
husband minded it.

-Brandy?
-Oh, thanks.

That will help.

Thank you.

Would anyone ever expect
to find anything like this

on top of the
Carpathian mountains?

No.

Sir Francis.

To see you again after so
many years is interesting.

Dr. Benet, we meet at last.

But we already know each other.

True.

You've come to see me fail,

but you'll be disappointed.

I have come to see that
Sir Francis isn't deceived.

Your doubts are very flattering.

They are mutual.

We have never seen eye to eye.

That is because I've always

looked 200 years
ahead of your theories.

Dr. Rukh?

You haven't met me.

Oh, Lady Stevens.

Nor my nephew, Ronald Drake.

And you too are
a scientist, sir?

No, I'm afraid not.

He doesn't know a
thing about science.

But he's one of
the three living men

who crossed the
mountains of the moon,

made maps of the country.

And since that's where we're
going, he'll come in useful.

Very commendable work, sir.

Good man.

I've seen him tested in Africa.

I read that you
were going to Africa.

That's why I asked you here.

Because what I have
to show you after dinner

concerns Africa, and the
claim I made many years ago.

All of this makes a man like me

feel quite small and useless.

But you've gone into
uncharted places, too.

Oh, my explorations have
all been on this planet.

They reach into space.

This is the nebula in Andromeda.

A ray from this nebula
will be caught here

and electrically transferred

to the projector
in my laboratory.

There I will recreate
what is recorded

on that beam of light.

From Andromeda?

From Andromeda.

Three-quarters of a
million light-years distant.

Can he do that?

Yes.

He will not fail.

He must not.

It would kill him.

Have you seen it?

No one has seen it but Janos.

You'll wait here a few minutes.

I'll prepare the projector.

He seems very confident.

Yes.

Of course, the
theory of reproducing

vibrations from
the past is not new.

But if proved, would be. yes.

This may be very interesting.

Yes, very.

Doesn't all this sort of
thing ever affect you?

Oh, no, I'm used to it.

My father was assistant here.

When he died three years
ago, I married Dr. Rukh.

Oh, I see.

I am ready.

A new development
of barium crown glass

which will protect you
from all dangerous rays.

To reproduce what is written
upon the beam from Andromeda,

we must travel out into
space upon that ray of light

until we reach a
point at which we turn

and look back
upon our own planet.

We approach the moon.

Dead ashes, where
there is no air or water.

In the shadows,
colder than our arctic.

In the sunlight, hotter
than any desert of the earth.

Saturn we pass,
with its twirling rings.

A vast cloud of tiny movements,

each moving in its own orbit.

Another constellation
speeds towards us.

The great nebula of Orion.

500 light-years distant.

But we travel at a speed
far greater than light,

the pace of electric
magnification.

Otherwise it would
take a million lifetimes

to reach our goal.

We move by this chaotic
mass and see Andromeda,

our nearest neighbor among
the island universes of space.

The light which we see left
there before man existed,

before our earth had cooled.

We speed towards this nebula

and stop at a point
where we will see

our own planet, the earth,
as it existed long ago.

Years ago, Sir
Francis, I voiced a belief

that a great meteor
bearing an element

even more powerful than radium,

struck an uncharted spot

somewhere in the
continent of Africa.

If you will bear with
me for a moment,

I'll show you how I
know this to be a fact.

That is all.

A trick?

No.

Reality.

But where has it gone?

Back into space.

What did we see?

What you saw tonight
actually occurred

a few thousand
million years ago.

J see.

A tour in time.

Exactly.

Everything that ever happened

has left its record
on nature's film.

Every sound since eternity began

still vibrates, recorded
somewhere in outer space.

The cataclysm you
witnessed tonight

traveled back to us on
the ray from Andromeda.

Well, I'm dazed.

Dazed, that's all I can say.

You have demonstrated something

that I have always regarded
as an unsupported theory.

I'm at a loss for words.

I congratulate you.

Perhaps you'd all
like some Brandy.

Oh, thank you, that
would be most acceptable.

I'll join you in a few moments.

Well, I, for one,
am just beginning

to recover from what we've seen.

I don't think I ever shall.

It was unbelievable.

Well, sir, your
discovery is breathtaking.

When do you plan to release
it to the world of science?

Oh, not for some time.

It's not nearly ready yet.

And if there should
be this meteoric deposit

of an unknown
element in Africa...

there is.

It'd be interesting
to discover what it is.

Very.

Will you consider
joining forces with us

and accompany our expedition?

You ask me to join
forces with you?

But you forget I
have no standing

with your scientific congress.

I believe I have even
been called unorthodox.

Oh, nonsense.

Our expedition isn't
under the auspices

of any association.

You will be doing us an honor.

Yes, I'll go with you.

Why not?

No, Janos.

Why?

It will not be
wise for you to go.

I'm listening, mother.

Even though you may
make a great discovery,

you'll not be happy.

You are not used
to people, Janos.

You never will be.

Your experiments
are your friends.

Leave people alone.

Where do you suppose that
madman Rukh is, anyway?

After all, it is
his own business

if he wishes to go off on
an exploration of his own.

See, Stevens, the little
creature is going to live.

See his flesh glow.

He moves his arm with
much more strength.

Very interesting.

This proves, I think
that human organisms

are only part of astrochemistry,

controlled by radial
forces from the sun.

Oh, I never doubted your theory.

What have you been using?

Zithilium.

One milligram, drawn directly
from the spectrum of the sun.

Turn it off.

Interesting.

But I must admit I'm
quite ready to leave Africa

the moment that your
experiments are completed.

After eight weeks of this,
I admit that I'm fed up.

I know every wheeze and
every crack of every record.

Glad to see signs
of rhino about.

We'll go out after
them tomorrow.

Yes, you've only
got six to your credit.

Oh, well, they're such
nasty-tempered beasts,

it's a pleasure to
dispose of them.

This must be lonely for Diana.

Of course.

It's your fault.

Why do you say that?

Oh, Ronnie, the way
you two avoid each other

is most pointed.

Why can't you be
pleasantly friendly with her

as you were at first?

Well, if you must
know, I don't dare to be.

Becoming interested?

Yes.

I thought so.

You're in love.

Well, what could
be more natural?

An African moon, two
healthy young animals.

Oh, stop it.

We're not animals,
and that's just it.

And it isn't too easy,
so please don't make us

into fiction for your book.

Well, you are interested.

Oh, so you're back, Arabella.

Yes, we got an antelope
and a fine leopard.

My ankles are worse.

I tell you, I'm getting
heartily sick of Africa.

And I don't see any use in
waiting for Rukh any longer.

It's evident he has
elected to desert us.

Well, we can't go and
leave his wife here alone,

even though he's
forgotten she came along.

After all, she is
Rukh's affair, not ours.

She is my affair.

I'm fond of her.

Well, I'm not fond
enough of anyone

to make this my permanent abode.

Temba, more water, please.

Ah, ah!

Choco.

The small package.

Boss, put on hat, very hot here.

Boss found place he look
for many days now, maybe?

There's no doubt of it.

No doubt of it.

Safari boys no like
this place, boss.

Why not?

Look in pit, fall
in, many devil.

Pick me out a runner.

I want to send a letter to
the main camp immediately.

Me do.

This boy go.

He very fast.

Hold box.

How long will he take
to reach the main camp?

This time tomorrow
night, he get there.

-All downhill.
-Good.

Boss, wants him to wait,
bring back answer paper?

Yes.

Now, give this to
the young mistress.

Don't say a word
about where we are.

And make sure he understands.

Francis, are you asleep?

No, my dear, I was merely trying

to imagine myself at home.

I'd give 10 pounds for...

Antelope stew again.

Take it away.

I'm not up to coping with it.

Oh, stop feeling
so sorry for yourself.

What new secrets did you draw

from the sun today, Dr. Benet?

Proof that the sun is
the mother of us all.

Is she?

I wonder why she
bothers about us.

What are we all about anyway?

Astrochemistry, my friend.

Astrochemistry.

It's from Janos.

Excuse me.

He says very little.

But we're not to expect
him back for some time yet.

Where is he?

He doesn't say.

He hopes he's on the trail

of an interesting new discovery.

Runner boy want take paper back.

Yes, tell him to wait.

Will you all excuse me, please?

-But your dinner, dear.
-I'm not really hungry.

I want to see the
runner boy in my tent.

You come, too, and talk for me.

I'll be ready in an hour.

I want three boys for safari.

Diana?

What are you going to do?

There's only one thing to do.

I'm going to him tonight.

Tonight?

It's cooler.

Besides, there's a moon.

You're going alone?

I can't stay here now.

Why?

He's a great man, Ronald.

I'm his wife.

He needs me, and
I can't let him down.

No, you wouldn't.

You're not the sort to
let any man down, ever.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Diana.

Power.

More power than
man has ever known.

Well, what do you want?

Safari boys want
go away this place.

No like him.

So, they want to
leave me, do they?

Me wanna go, too.

Indeed.

Do you see that rock?

Yes, boss.

I want you to keep
your eyes on that rock.

Tell the boys to do so, too.

Watch.

No, I sorry, boss!

You can all go if you want
to, but you won't go far.

All that will be left of
you will be like that.

Me stay, boss.

We'll all stay.

All right, then
get back to work.

Take the lamp inside.

Draws the pests.

It's poisoned me.

Dead.

Boss house there.

Me take you.

No, I'll go alone.

Janos?

What are you doing here?

You must go away at once.

At once, do you hear?

But it's Diana.

You shouldn't have come.

I wrote you I had
important work to do.

I don't want to be
bothered with anyone.

Oh, you must be ill.

What's happened to you?

Nothing's happened to me.

What makes you think
anything's happened to me?

It's been weeks since you left.

Don't you want to see me?

I don't want to see you here.

This is no place for you.

You must leave here at once.

My place is where you are.

I won't be a bother.

I suppose you'll
have to stay the night.

My headman will
find shelter for you.

But I want you out of here

the very first thing in the
morning, do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

I'm leaving as soon
as it's daybreak.

Yes, missy.

Me tell your boys.

Thank you.

Benet.

Benet.
-Rukh?

Don't let anybody know I'm here.

You're exhausted.

Don't touch me.

What has happened?

I made the runner guide me here.

I've traveled day and night.

But why?

I found the place
where the meteor fell.

I've discovered an element

a thousand times more
powerful than radium.

But it's done something to me.

Something horrible.

Horrible?

Look at me.

Look at me in the dark.

Why, you're poisoned.

Poisoned.

And everyone I
touch is poisoned.

They die.

Die?

Yes, I khow.

Let's get back into the light.

Perhaps the metal
cloth did not protect you.

No, no, it gave me
complete insulation.

I must have been
careless somehow.

Benet, you know more of
the chemistry of the body

than any man alive.

Something must be done
for me so that I can go back

and solve the power
of this element.

There is a counteractive
for radium poisoning

derived from radium itself.

Have you a sample
of this new element?

Yes, yes.

There.

Do you think I can be helped?

I can't say until I deduce
the atomic structure of this.

I've done that.

You'll find my
calculations there.

All right.

Then I'll begin at once to
work out the counteractive.

No one must know
what's happened to me.

Is there any place
where I can hide myself?

Oh yes, there's
a little tent in back

where I store my instruments.

You can keep out of sight there.

I'll show you.

Wake up, Rukh.

Wake up.

You've been asleep for an hour.

Look at yourself.

I gave you the counteractive
exactly at midnight.

My hands are not glowing.

No, your hands aren't
glowing, nor your face.

I can touch people now?

Yes.

But remember what I've told you.

Nothing can ever cure you.

At best, your state of poisoning

can only be checked, suspended.

And now that a counteractive
has gone into your bloodstream,

you can only live if you
use a small amount of it

at regular intervals each
day all the days of your life.

Here's the formula.

And if I exceed the
time, what happens?

Your body again becomes
the deadly machine it was.

Your touch will kill.

Shortly after that
you will become

deadly to yourself as well.

If you do not use the
counteractive in time,

you will literally
crumble to an ash.

Remember, I told
you all the conditions.

You accepted the risks.

Yes, yes.

But at least after each
treatment, I should be immune.

Normal.

As I told you, I don't
know enough yet

to say what effect
the violent surcharge

of poison and antidote
will have upon the brain.

Yes.

I took that risk.

This is the counteractive.

Guard it carefully.

And what do you plan to do now?

Go back to my camp,
complete my tests,

and return here as
quickly as possible.

Tell no one of this.

Promise me.

I promise.

There's no use
pretending any longer.

You know that I love you.

I've known it for a long time.

That's why I have been afraid.

Of me?

No, of us.

Oh, Diana, why fight something

that's so much
stronger than we are?

We must.

Do you love him?

My father idolized him.

When he died, I promised
him that I would marry Janos.

What are we going to do?

Tt don't know.

Dinner.

We must go.

Yes.

-Yes, boss.
-Where's Dr. Rukh?

Boss tent there.

Oh, yes, I want to see him.

Dr. Benet.

How did you find this place?

We listened to the drums.

They talked of a white man who
made magic in the mountains.

How are you feeling?

No ill effects so far?

So far, none.

You'd better get out of the sun.

Huh?

Oh, ves, yes.

Some water? there.

They expected you back
in camp long before this.

Yes, I khow.

There was always
one thing more to do.

Days passed, and
before I knew it, weeks.

I have harnessed
it at last, Benet.

I could crumple up a city
a thousand miles away.

I could destroy a
nation, all nations.

You have harnessed
its power to destroy.

Have you harnessed it to heal?

That will come later,
when I devise a filter

to curb its power.

But in the meantime, it's
mine to experiment with.

Stevens and I felt that
would be your attitude.

That was why we
decided your discovery

was too important to be
in the hands of one man.

Just what do you mean?

Stevens is now on his
way to the international

scientific congress that
opened in Paris last month.

He's taking with him the
specimen you left with me.

Why, you thieves!

Thieves!

You forget we came to
Africa for a common purpose.

It discovered it.

Oh, the credit will be
given you for the discovery.

Never fear.

Oh, thieves!

Thieves!

We couldn't wait for
you forever, Rukh.

Besides, your wife
has been quite ill,

so we decided to
break up camp and go.

My wife? yes.

She is on her way to
Europe with Stevens.

I join them at lake nyanza.

Diana gone?

Stevens' wife is
looking after her.

She asked me to
hand you this letter.

She doesn't believe I love her.

She loves someone else.

Drake?

Yes.

To come like
thieves in the night

and steal everything from me.

Get out of here, Benet!

Get out before I...

Don't move, mother.

Sit quite still.

In a few moments, we will know.

Look.

Hand, hand.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, I see.

I can see!

You see everything?

More clearly than
I ever saw before.

Oh.

I am frightened by what I see.

I have harnessed
it, harnessed it.

It's mine at last.

You have work to do that
will take you all your life.

Tomorrow I leave for Paris.

No.

No, stay here and work.

I must go, mother.

You will find tragedy there.

I know.

In case I do find tragedy,

I leave my secret with you.

It is all there.

More power than man
has ever possessed.

Power to heal, power to destroy.

Guard it for me.

Don't be afraid, my dear.

You will be all right.

I'm not afraid.

That is fine.

Load it, please.

I'm Dr. Janos Rukh.

Come, please.

Baby, baby.

Can you see me?

Yes, mommy, I can see you.

Oh!

My baby.

Where does one find Dr. Benet?

I am Janos Rukh.

Janos Rukh?

Dr. Benet is in his laboratory.

I will show you
there immediately.

Now you must go,
make way for the others.

Prepare the next patient.

Thank you.

My baby can see.

My baby can see.

-Yes, mommy, I can see.
-Oh, baby, baby.

Rukh.

I seem to have arrived
at an interesting moment.

You have arrived to
see what your discovery

has done for this little one.

She was blind.

It has made her see.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, doctor, thank you.

That's all for now.

It seems, as usual,
I am a little late.

No, all Paris is waiting
to pile honors on you.

You know, of course, the
nobel prize was awarded to you.

Yes, yes, I know, I know.

Everybody considers you
and Sir Frances Stevens

very generous men.

I wondered about your health.

The counteractive
is still effective.

And Diana?

Oh, she is well.

She has become Lady
Arabella's secretary.

She and Drake plan
to marry, of course?

They are in love,
but she declares

she will do nothing
until she hears from you.

She will hear of me, shortly.

I will not stand in the
way of their happiness.

This is very fine of you, Rukh.

Well, I must leave you
to your ministrations.

You see, I was right, Rukh.

Your discovery is too
great for one man to control.

Some day you will realize
that you haven't even

scratched the
possibilities of radium x.

And I am still the only
man to control it fully.

Yes, you'll do.

Same height, same width.

What do I want?

I want to do you a benefit.

Yes.

The greatest benefit
one man can do another.

Those who have never
seen the moonlight

over the African veldt
have missed a thrilling vision

which can be witnessed
in no other land.

A lion caught in
the thorn bush and...

Milady.

Briggs, you have been instructed

never to interrupt me
when I am at dictation.

-But the paper, milady.
-The papers?

You know I never read them.

This is important.

Oh, very well.

What is it?

With all my worldly
goods I thee endow.

With all my worldly
goods I thee endow.

Whom god hath joined
together, let no man put asunder.

-Goodbye, dear.
-Goodbye, darling.

-Ronnie, dear.
-Goodbye, dear.

I'm sure you'll both
be very, very happy.

-Bon voyage.
-Goodbye, my boy.

Goodbye.

Six.

Six of us.

Are you the manager? yes.

Have you a room vacant?

A front room?
-A room?

Providentially, sir, I have.

Step this way, sir.

It's Mrs. Legrand, sir, I'm
British to the backbone,

though misfortunes
and a French husband

has brought me
to Paris lodgings.

You'll like the room.

It's a lovely fireplace
and it don't smoke,

and the bed is excellent.

Me poor husband, he
died in it so comfortable.

I'll take the room.

And I'd like the Paris
herald every morning.

Yes, sir.

That will be 50
francs a week, sir.

Oh, oh.

Thank you, sir.

Sir Francis Stevens, thief.

Have you ever seen
anyone so incredibly happy

as Diana and Ronald
when they started

on their honeymoon?

I hope they will be happy.

We should be late if
Francis doesn't hurry.

Go to Sir Francis'
room and tell him

Dr. Benet and I are waiting.

Poor dear.

When he came from
his lecture tonight

at the university, he
was so utterly exhausted

that I told him to lie down.

He is feeling better since
we returned from Africa?

Oh, yes.

He has even forgotten to
complain about his ankles.

What's that?

Celeste, Celeste.

Speak, you fool.

What is it?

Dr. Benet, come
up please, at once.

-Pierre.
-Sir Francis.

Sir Francis!

Oh!

Oh.

This is awful.

Look at his eyes.

What hideous thing
did he see, do you think?

The police must
be sent for at once.

But before they come,

I would like to
try an experiment.

It must be done before
the eye tissues glaze.

Yes.

Is there an ultraviolet
camera here?

Yes, I'll get it for you.

Please.

Rukh.

I knew it.

In New York, in Rome.

Come in.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Mrs. Legrand.

Oh, there's more excitement.

Yes.

What has happened
across the street?

Vandals, sir.

They come in the
night and they smashed

the entire one of them figures.

They didn't leave nothing

but a little pile
of melted stuff.

But that's impossible.

That's what everybody says.

But a fact's a fact, sir.

If you'll excuse me, sir,

I'll just pop across and
see what the latest is.

Yes, Mrs. Legrand.

Do come back and tell me more.

Well, I'll find out, sir.

I won't be a second,
I'll find out all I can.

Lady Stevens, matchmaker.

Radium x claims third victim.

Paris edition of the
New York herald.

Radium x claims third victim.

Radium x claims third victim.

Radium x claims third victim.

Radium x claims third victim.

No, please.

It will be better, I think,
if you take Diana away.

I will answer any questions.

We'll be downstairs
if you do need us.

Now I will explain
why I insisted

the medical examiner
and his assistants

wear insulated gloves
when they touch the body.

Will you turn out the lights?

Look closely at the
neck of the victim.

Lights, please.

You observe those finger marks

cannot be seen in the light.

It is phosphorus, possibly?

No.

Radium x.

Inflicted by the
grasp of someone

contaminated by the poison.

Do you know such a person?

Only one, he is dead.

But there is a
story behind all this.

And I am going to ask
you to listen to some facts.

There's some curse.

Diana, my dear, there are
no such things as curses.

Well, they needn't look
any farther for the murderer.

Here she is.
-Stop it!

I won't let you talk like that.

If I hadn't left him, they
would all be alive today.

Janos, Sir Francis and Arabella.

Stop it.

We loved each other.

We belong to each other.

You never belonged to him.

And no law of nature or
man can make it anything

but right for us to
have done what we did.

He shan't reach out of his
grave and spoil our lives.

I'll fight it.

But what are you going to fight?

Something you can't see?

Something you can't reach?

Something you can't touch?

Oh, darling.

Hold me tight.

We're going to need
each other so very much.

Yes, I have feared
something like this

ever since the day
he left my laboratory.

And I always doubted his death.

So now you know
all I have to tell you.

You believe that the
man who was buried

as Dr. Rukh was not Dr. Rukh?

Yes.

I believe that Rukh
is alive and in Paris.

I believe that this city is
at the mercy of a madman

whose body is an
engine of destruction.

I talked to his mother
on the telephone

a little while ago,
and it is also her belief

that Rukh is alive.

We will take immediate
steps to locate him.

Gentlemen.

A figure melted while a
crowd of people watched.

Only one element on
earth could have done it.

Diana and I were
married at that church,

and there were
six of us in Africa.

Do you suppose
Rukh's crazy brain

drew some analogy
between that fact,

and the six figures of
the saints on the church?

He killed two of us and
destroyed two of the six figures.

A man and a woman in each case.

You and your wife must go
into seclusion immediately.

Also you, Dr. Benet, while
we comb Paris for this madman.

It might be simpler to
get him to come here.

How do you propose this?

Ask him for dinner?

No, not quite.

But that's the general idea.

Let the newspapers
give out a story

that the three
remaining survivors

of our African expedition
are leaving Paris immediately

for an unknown destination.

But before departing,
there will be a meeting here.

What sort of meeting?

Well, what do you think
would draw him, doctor?

A lecture concerning
my recent experiments

with radium x, and a
chance to reach you and me.

You are both willing
to take such risk?

Of course.

Yes.

I will invite a limited
number of scientists,

to be admitted by card only.

Do you think it's fair to
expose them to the danger?

There are only two
people he wants to destroy.

Two, or perhaps three.

My men can check
the list of invitations

at the gate and maybe
capture him there.

Also mingle with your guests.

Exactly.

I will set the hour of
midnight for the lecture.

At that time his
luminosity will be strong

as he will delay taking
the counteractive,

hoping for a chance
to use his deadliness

upon Drake and me.

If your men fail to
capture him at the gate,

and darken the entire house.

His face and hands
will appear like,

like phosphorus,
regardless of any disguise.

And if he touches anyone?

They die.

-Professor Lemaire.
-Professor Lemaire.

-Professor Gothe.
-Professor Gothe.

-Dr. Benet.
-Professor Reinhardt.

A very strange hour for such
a meeting, don't you think?

Perhaps.

But radium x is a
very strange subject.

Benet has his
reasons. Undoubtedly.

He must have something
of importance to show us.

Even the president of
our congress is here.

Professor Meiklejohn,
if I am not mistaken?

Yes, I am Meiklejohn.

Who are you, sir?

Jones, of the
university of wales.

We met once, but
perhaps you don't recall me.

I think I do.

One meets so many people.

I shall never forget your
treatise on radiation, sir.

Oh, you remember that, huh?

No doubt you are on your way

to Dr. Benet's demonstration.

It should indeed.

I understand that no one is
to be admitted without a card.

Yes.

Oh, that reminds me.

Yes, yes, I've got it.

Forgetful sometimes.

Well, under the circumstances.

Of course.

A nasty night.

Most disagreeable indeed.

I think I've caught a chill.

Napoleon Brandy, sir.

I believe a sip or two
would help us on our way.

I suggest that we step
in here, out of the rain.

I am not very much on spirits,

but considering the night, why.

Dr. Reno. Dr. Reno.

-Dr. Fergie.
-Dr. Fergie.

-Professor Meiklejohn.
-Professor Meiklejohn.

All are here, except one name.

To be admitted instantly.

Beaudine, you will stand
at the main house switch.

It is to be thrown at
exactly 12:00 o'clock.

No stranger has
tried to come in,

and all invitations
are accounted for.

Perhaps he won't come.

He will be here.

Probably he's here now.

Monsieur le president.

Oh, Dr. Benet.

If you will be patient for
just a few minutes longer,

I will make final adjustments
in my laboratory and be ready.

We expected you.

I knew that.

Five thieves.

Two are gone, three are left.

Do you intend to kill us all?

Yes.

I felt it was better
to let things alone

when you were first poisoned.

I warned you about your brain.

It began to affect my
brain almost immediately.

I could feel it coming,
crawling for cells.

Aren't there ever
moments when you think

as you used to think,
when you were human?

Not often now, not often.

And because of that we must die.

No, because you are thieves.

Five thieves, all thieves.

It will be easiest
just to shake hands.

It will all be over in a second.

My wife?

In her room with Mrs.
Noyer, as you desired.

But she's nervous, sir.

So am I.

Still, it will soon be over,
one way or the other.

Yes, sir.

One way or the other.

I know something
awful has happened.

Try to compose yourself, madame.

I can't stand this any longer.

Find Mr. Drake and
tell him I must see him,

if only for a moment.

I was ordered to remain here.

Oh, please go.

Oh, as you say, madame.

Madame Rukh.

It's good of you to come.

It's my duty to be here.

Where is Diana?

Oh, she's upstairs in her room.

Ronnie.

Ronnie!

Diana.

Janos!

Strange Dr. Benet doesn't
return, don't you think?

Yes, very strange.

Dr. Benet?

Dr. Benet!

He isn't here.

Yes, he is.

And so is Rukh.

Don't go any closer!

Max, Louie, the front stairs.

No, I can't kill you, I can't.

But he must die.

No, Janos!

Mother.

No.

I must have time.

I must go on to reach one more.

Drake.

Don't fire.

My son.

You have broken
the first law of science.

Yes, you are right.

It's better this way.

Goodbye, mother.

Dianal

Diana.

My darling, you're safe.

Madame Rukh, permit
me to pay you my homage.

Janos Rukh is dead,

but part of him will go on
eternally working for humanity.
