All language subtitles for Scotland Yard jagt Dr Mabuse (1963)

Yes, I am Professor Pohland

The well-known neurologist.

In whose clinic,
you Dr. Mabuse, die.

Now that you have vanished from the world.

I must loyally fulfil your wishes.

I will spread panic and chaos everywhere.

I'll become Dr. Mabuse.

Well, is everything ready?

Oh, Inspector Volpios.

I could only save bits of the will.

It'll take months to get them legible.

The testament of Dr. Mabuse.

Yes, that’s all we've got left,

the rest disappeared,
and our friend Mabuse was killed.

It's very difficult to believe
Mabuse is really dead.

Not for me it isn't,
What's left of him is there.

Actually Doctor, I wanted to study
the papers today, if you don't mind.

I'm afraid they haven't been cleared.

You must have photocopies made of them.

You protect Mabuse's testament
as the French do the Mona Lisa.

Well, they're both
masterpieces in there own way.

- Goodnight Doctor.
- Goodnight Inspector.

What happened?

Are you alright?

Damn it, that's a break, once more
I come op smelling of roses.

Yes, somebody up there loves you.

The testament was full of
indications of future crimes.

All the details worked out.

I guess Mabuse didn't
want it to be decoded.

You really believe
he's still alive in some form?

That's mere superstition.

Maybe...

In Mabuse's case,
nothing can be rolled out.

The trains off the track!

Take these blasted things off will you.

Everything will be alright,

nothings going to prevent me from
getting You to jail on time.

You're wrong, where's the key?
This man is going with us

- Who are you?
- I can't tell You that now,

The main thing is to get you out.

Slice of cake?
Or a cookie?

I'm not hungry.

I'd prefer it if you told me
where we are going.

But Cockstone, we're old bodies
In the war, remember?

In the war?

Don't You recall our great days together?

We were detained for investigation.

You can't be Hilliard...
Ernest Hilliard?

The voice is familiar, but
You don't look like him.

I don't, the face is quite new,

marvelous job by a famous plastic surgeon.

He's English, on the boss's payroll.

Is the boss himself an Englishman?

Nobodies been told, but he definitely
prefers British employees.

Like You and me,
he got me out of trouble as well.

Who is your mysterious boss?

- Yours too.
- Mine?

Dr. Mabuse.

Well, we've got the man You wanted.

- And the train?
- Unrailed.

- And the guard?
- Dead.

Good Leave us alone.

George Cockstone, convicted of
theft, embezzling.

Deprived of his civil rights,

for illegal surgery.

And causing a patients death
through negligence.

Five years in prison.

I have use for men like you.

Thanks for your confidence.

And especially because you're English
you're essential to my plans.

When operations are completed,
I will move my headquarters over there.

Here is your task.

It concerns the invention of
Professor Lawrence.

This is the new topography
of the human brain.

All the nerve centers are clearly marked.

Sight, hearing as well as sensation.

The motor impulses,
and the speaking faculty.

And naturally,
all other specialized functions.

You know the brain is like a battery
with twenty watts of electric energy

the separate centers act as batteries.

And the fuel is a powerful
mixture of glucose and oxygen.

These send the electric impulses
through the whole nervous system.

Acting like a vast telephone switchboard.

This is all very interesting, but not new.

Of course it isn’t,

but its the basis of a discovery
which is entirely new.

Professor Lawrence has been
working on a method

to transform the switchboard
of the human brain

into an equally powerful radio station.

A kind of telepathy I gather?

Allowing thoughts and willpower
to be transferred.

It means the control of mankind,

A power more effective than any atom bomb

You want this power in your possession?

At any price.

I must get hold of
Professor Lawrence's invention.

And your objective as a doctor,
is to worm your way into his confidence.

In my situation that's impossible.

My diplomas been withdrawn.

My photo appears in a
thousand post offices.

You will be provided with a new diploma.

- And a new name, and a new face.
- By your surgeon?

Yes, You will get an honest face from him.

You will acquire confidence and respect.

You'll re-appear as private Jodo Ranke.

The intimate collaborator of
Professor Lawrence.

Even a surgeon can be indiscreet.

He's smarter than that.

He's already operated on so many faces,

he could only incriminate himself.

Former assistant surgeon of the
British army of occupation.

Dishonorably discharged from
the services for irregular conduct.

He took refuge in Germany.

Where he illegally practiced
electro shock therapy,

and when the patient died,

he drew a penalty of five years

And while they were taking him
to prison, he killed the guard.

But Kloppe, he didn't
have any sort of weapon,

no bullets were missing
from the guard's pistol.

No, someone else must have done it.
Several might have..

Here's a letter from our British
correspondent about Cockstone.

He suggests we contact
Major Bill Tern who handled the case.

Tomorrow morning please ask
Scotland Yard for his phone number.

Yes Blackie, I hear it, I can hear it.

Who could be calling so early in the day?

Hello...

No, I'm not Major Tern, I'm his mother.

The Major cannot be disturbed now.

The are two good reasons
today is Sunday, and he's on his vacation.

Oh... You're phoning from Hamburg,

well I'm sorry,

there is nothing urgent enough
to disturb Major Tern on his vacation.

- Morning Mother...
- Ahh... Bill

You got op early to help me in the garden.

No, I happened to hear the phone.

You always happen to hear the phone.

- That was Mrs. Larter for a recipe.
- Mama...

Oh You win, I didn't want to wake
you growing boys need sleep.

I'll tell You a big secret,
I'm not a boy anymore

- That's what you think.
- Oh, those black cigars...

Only three a day, between them.
I have to get along with a pipe.

And read detective stories hmm?

I'm so often alone.

Since You've grown up,

the vegetable garden and mystery
stories are my only real pastime.

Tobacco, cabbages and murder.

That's all that's left for me,

once You pack op and leave me,
Which you do more and more often.

Don't change the subject mama,
who just phoned?

An inspector Volpios from Hamburg.

And you just hang up without
even asking if its urgent or not?

Well if It's so urgent,
he's sure to call back.

You see...

You're always right, aren't you?

Hello..
No, I'm not my mother, I'm Bill Tern.

Oh, Inspector Volpios,
what can I do for you?

George Cockstone?
We're old acquaintances.

Kidnapped from the train
on the way to jail?

Yes... yes.

I've got it, I'll be on the next plane.

- The end of your vacation?
- How do you know that?

Sunday morning you receive two
phone calls from Hamburg. Both urgent.

It means its a question of
international importance.

And what is a question of
international importance?

Espionage sabotage and so forth.

Your logic is deadly mother.

You're the one that should have
been contacted by Scotland Yard.

And I should have stayed in bed.

I must get dressed.

What about your malaria shot?

I'm only going to Germany.

Well be careful of those
German girls dear.

Before You can move a muscle,
they've got you hooked.

- Hello Kloppe.
- Hello Inspector.

My closest collaborator, Major Tern.

- Hello.
- First get the photo of Cockstone.

- Sit down.
- Thanks.

Yes, that is George Cockstone.

An army surgeon who stole
electronic materials.

And was dishonorably discharged
from the services.

That's a very mild sort of
punishment isn't it?

I recommended leniency because
I believed his basic motive was science.

Like the doctors who stole
corpses in order to study anatomy.

This Cockstone is no scientific martyr.

Just a criminal with scientific training.

Yes, that was my mistake.

Well it happens,

that a train has been derailed recently
with the purpose of freeing him

It seems to indicate that a
powerful organization is involved.

Exactly what my mother deduced.

Since our first experiments
have been such a success.

I've been wondering how a man would react.

The chief difficulty of course,
is that no one would allow.

Electrodes to be introduced
into the nerve centers of his brain.

That will no longer be necessary.

You mean the apparatus,

You refuse to reveal even to
Your trusted assistant Professor?

I didn't wish to show it to you
before it had been perfected.

Is it perfected?

An invention, as you well know,
is never really perfect,

but I'm ready now to share,

the fruits of my investigation.

As a reward for your faithful assistance,

I've decided You shall
be our first subject.

Professor this is a great
honor for me but...

The experiment is quite harmless.

I have developed a machine,

that projects my wishes into the
nerve centers of your brain

and at the same moment awakens
in you a strong impulse,

to accept and obey
any suggestions so produced.

That makes me completely
subservient to your will Professor.

To a good will my friend,
one must stress the good of course.

In the wrong hands,
any invention can be dangerous.

- What am I to do?
- Do you play the violin?

No, never been near one in fact

Well then, do me a favor and try it,

there's my instrument behind you.

It will work very well You 're a very
handsome figure of a violinist.

Don't worry, I'll make
a violinist of You if it kills me.

I played the violin.

Not You, me, my friend.

Transmitting the impulses
through your brain to your fingers.

And this was all does to
this machine of yours?

That's right my friend.

I see in this the must profound cause
for alarm my dear Professor Lawrence.

If this invention should fall

into unscrupulous hands
the consequences...

Fortunately I can set your mind
at rest in this respect.

My English colleague Masterson

has recently completed a machine
to counter-act its effect.

We must have proof
that the thing functions.

Playing the violin isn't enough.

What we must discover is
whether with this machine

A man could be made to commit a crime.

The only proof would be to try it.

Can you get at the apparatus without
the Professor noticing anything?

I have another key to the laboratory.

- How large is the device?
- Roughly the size of a book.

For a start, just camouflage the device,

perhaps in a camera, to hide it.

If the first test works,
we look for something better.

What is the test going to be?

Inspire someone to murder the Professor.

- It would be easier if I did it.
- It wouldn't prove a thing.

We must choose a man for whom
murder is unimaginable.

Just an ordinary man.

Here comes the postman.

Honest jovial, years of work,
soon to be rewarded with a pension.

Father of a family of six children,
baritone in the men's choir.

It would seem unbelievable,

that such an upright citizen
could commit murder.

Unbelievable.

Good morning, Mr. Ranke.

And a very good morning to you, sir.

You've something for me?

No, only a registered letter
for the Professor.

- You'll find him down in the lab.
- Alright, thank you.

- Yes, who is it?
- Postman.

Come in.

I have a registered letter
for you, Professor.

Put it over there on the table.

Sign here Professor, if you don 't mind.

My condolences, Dr. Ranke.

It must be a terrible blow to you.

Yes, the Professor
was like a father to me.

It's quite beyond me how such a murder
could ever have been committed.

The Professor had no enemies,
he was goodness itself.

When was the corpse discovered?

Shortly before nine,

the time I usually come to the laboratory.

And what was the last
project that occupied him?

Electronics is a vast subject.

We collaborated on a
number of experiments,

but some he classified as secret.

Did he leave unfinished work?

He named me to complete
his scientific experiments.

Unfortunately its difficult
to follow his notes.

I foresee an extended period of research.

Yes, yes, of course.

I wont be needing you for the time being.

If anything happens then
I may have to call.

Thank You, thank You

I checked carefully Inspector,

name and return address
proved to be false.

Have a seat, please.

Mr. Schroeder you say you
were the one who delivered,

this registered letter to
the Professor yesterday.

Yes sir.

When was that?

I always come about nine,
it was about nine, I came.

You may have been the last
person to see the Professor alive.

That's right, Inspector.

Because when he was signing,
he was still alive.

- And then...
- What then?

Then I killed him.

I beg your pardon?

There was a pestle on the table.

Something made me grab it...

I hit him with it.

As hard as I could.

Mr. Schroeder, do you know
what you're saying?

Yes, I cant believe it myself,

but that's the way it happened.

- Good morning mother.
- Good morning Bill.

You'll have to get a hookah
to go with that turban.

What were you doing yesterday evening?
You came home late.

I was op waiting for you and heard,
And you weren't alone.

Oh, one of our agents had to
make a report for headquarters.

In the middle of the night?

Yes, that's what makes it exciting.

Well, the next time he comes
to hand in his report.

He can skip the French perfume,
and the high heels as well.

He should remember not to leave his
lace handkerchief around.

And to lower his voice when he
whispers quietly on less.

You want your mother to know.

So, now of course you're going to ask me,

if there is anything in the
news that's interesting.

And I'll reply, yes.

Crazy postman kills well known
Professor in Hamburg.

And it was your friend
Volpios who broke the case.

He's a very competent fellow,
he's only failed once that I know of

In the case of Cockstone,
You remember the army doctor,

who kept top priority electronic
materials for his own use.

That is a marvelous coincidence.

Cockstone an electronics crook

and the murdered Professor
an electronics genius.

There must be some connection.

Oh please mother, don’t start
pestering me with your ideas.

You cant build a theory on the
basis of the word electronic.

And especially not these days
when everything is electronic.

It doesn't mean anything
to use the word electronic.

Whenever an agent disappears or a scientist
defects electronics is behind it.

Deep sea diving, anti aircraft defense,
satellite control, its all electronic.

It's nonsense to search for an
explanation just on that basis.

It's stupid, totally absurd,

but for all that, You could be right.

The plane to Hamburg leaves in an hour.

Excuse me Major,
but the idea that Cockstone,

had any to do with the
murder of Professor Lawrence.

I know there's not the slightest
evidence to base it on.

Merely instinct,
Mothers instinct, as it happens.

- Oh really, your mother is being helpful.
- She's full of ideas.

I don't object to instinct Major,

but its proved beyond any doubt
that the postman is the murderer.

However, he acted under compulsion
and with no motive what so ever.

Anybody around who we could
ask for more detailed information?

Just Doctor Ranke,
the Professor's assistant,

but I've already questioned him.

If its alright, I'd very much
like to speak to him.

Of course, he's
certainly at the lab. now.

Shall we pay him a visit?

Over here...

Doctor Ranke, he's dead.

Has the entire lab.
Been demolished?

The important instruments were
removed before the explosion took place.

We can take them to England
disguised as meteorological equipment.

I'd love to see their faces,
they believe you've been killed.

So much the better.

They'll check the body, and
find Cockstone's fake identification.

Major I must congratulate You

Ranke and Cockstone were one and the same.

Or are, one and the same,
I'm not at all sure this is Cockstone.

Fingers are burned,
so prints are impossible.

The whole face is burned to a crisp.

Yes, but the measurements check.

Doctor, let me see the autopsy report.

I haven't dictated it yet.

- Does he still have his appendix?
- Yes.

Cockstone's was removed in 1940.

- Really?
- Yes.

Then who is it?

Perhaps his stomach will give us a clue.

- What did his last meal consist of?
- It was Chinese food.

Do You know this man?

- Do you work in a Chinese restaurant?
- Yes, but I'm Italian.

Do you recognize this man?

- Yes, that's...
- Who?

Doctor Wakeman.

You can identify him in
spite of his charred face?

His foot was scarred I remember,
we were very good friends.

What sort of Doctor was he?

An English Doctor,
he helped me a great deal.

- I see...
- Not the way you mean.

He remodeled my nose for me,
and charged nothing.

So he was a plastic surgeon?

Now I know why George Cockstone
was never found,

he has a new face.

I think you over rate Cockstone.

He's simply a henchman.

I recognize the hand of a master.

The guards are posted.

Disguised as forest rangers,
farm hands and domestic servants

our greatest advantage is
England's unwritten law.

My house is my castle.

In here we can work on the
equipment in peace.

And prolong its effectiveness.

We must ensure it's effective,
at least 24 hours or more.

Hormones produced during sleep
tend to counteract the effect.

Professor Lawrence was just
about to develop a new process,

to offset this action.

We must discover this formula,
wherever it is.

Until then,

we must renew our commands
to our men every morning.

While our equipment
is in it's present state.

And what if our one machine fails us?

We must have more than one.

Which means we'll need jewels
of an identical chemical consistency.

This evening,

there's a gala presentation
at the opera house.

To be attended by everyone
of importance in the realm.

Princess Diana and the Duke of Rampart,
her fiancé will be present.

On such occasions the Princess wears
her famous necklace.

Very good.

In one minute the Duke will arrive.

And if he doesn't come?

His orders were, at midnight.

There will be two men waiting for you.

Under the lamp post on the left.

The parcel containing the gems,
is to be given to them.

If this succeeds,
England will never forgive him.

Here comes the car.

Help... help!
Gorilla!

Halt!!

Hands up, I'll shout if you
take one more step.

Bill...

You wicked mother,

You're not going to kill your
own son are you?

Where did You get a revolver anyway?

I have to say it doesn't exists,

but I'll have to get one,
one of these days.

There's no place like home.

Where are you going now?

I wish I knew,

but when the secret service comes for
me at midnight, it must be urgent,

- I hope its not because of Princess Diana.
- Why Diana?

Well I watched the gala on television.

Princess Diana was attending
and a remarkable idea came to me.

Remarkable?

Yes, You see Princess Diana
came with her fiancé.

But went home all alone.

It happens all the time.

Yes but I noticed something else.

When she arrived she had her
ermine cape over her shoulders.

And when she left she had it
drawn up close around her neck.

Now mother they're waiting
for me, goodnight.

- I'm sorry to wake you up Bill.
- What's the matter now?

- This case is extremely delicate
- About Princess Diana?

Yes, she's involved,
but how do You know about it?

No more than four
people know the situation.

You forget my mother.

Sir, Commissioner.

You know Major Tern, this is Mr Rank.

Have a seat please

Yes, gentlemen I came here
expressly to tell you a story.

About an hour ago I was awakened
by the Duke of Rampart.

White as a sheet
he stands at my bed and says.

Commissioner I must confess to you,

I answered, wrong address,

You should wake op the
Archbishop of Canterbury.

I must tell you he said.

I'm the one who made off with the
Princess Diana's jewels.

I received an order.

That I was to deliver them to two
strangers at midnight.

Where did the order come from?

That, he didn't know.

But he felt a force that he was
unable to resist in anyway.

Another outside force like the
postman in Hamburg..

A postman?

The murder of Professor Lawrence.

They've agreed it's a case of insanity.

I recommend an identical
judgement in the Dukes case.

Yes, that’s the only cause possible.

I know you'll take me for an idiot,

but if anyone can help us now,
it's Professor Masterson.

The physicist?

Yes, the famous electronics specialist.

I fear we my accept the rather
unnerving hypothesis.

That we're op against an
unprecedented new force.

A new force that we must deal with.

Well I wont argue with a maniac,
drive over and see Masterson.

- Where does he live?
- In Doncaster.

As an old neighbor, I took the
liberty of coming in the back way.

You must be Nancy, Nancy Masterson.

You know me?

The last time I saw you, You were so high.

Yes, those were my good days.

I couldn't have made very much
of an impression I guess.

I'm Bill Tern.

I was more taken in with the uniform.

Forgive me,
You want to speak to my father?

Yes, I have an appointment
with him for 16 o'clock.

I'm afraid You're wrong.

I cant be, didn’t he tell you he was
waiting for somebody to come?

- A photographer.
- Photographer?

Father said that he didn't
wish to be disturbed

but that doesn't apply at all to me.

Professor Masterson it's Bill Tern.

Open the door.

Father...

Hello is anyone here?

- Did You call Professor?
- Come here quickly.

For heavens sake, what's happened?

The Professor is dead.

- Suicide?
- I don't believe it's suicide.

But he died by his own hand didn't he?

The Duke of Rampart
stole with his own hand too.

And I'm sure he's no thief.

He too acted under
powerful outside forces.

And so did the Professor.

Men like him don't act this way.

Father had so many plans for the future.

For supper the Professor
asked me to cook some kidney.

A man doesn't give orders like that
if he's going to kill himself.

- I'd like to ask you a few questions.
- Me?

Yes, shall we go in the other room.

Nancy, do you want to help me?

If I can.

In addition to the photographer
who else was here?

Only the photographer.

Can you describe him to me?

He was wearing sunglasses,
had a straw hat.

And a slender build.

Did you notice anything else of interest?

Photographers are usually
friendly and easy going.

He was rather distant and curt.

- Are you alone?
- Yes

Professor Masterson had to be
killed unfortunately.

Why?

Our secret weapon failed with him.

What?

These, were among his things.

It must be the counter apparatus
Professor Lawrence talked about.

Nancy we've got things to do in the lab,
I'll want your help.

I have to speak to you after your
through Miss Masterson.

Thank god my mother
didn't live to go through this.

She's pretty sharp.

Even in mourning she lets you
know there's no mother in law.

You old cynic.

If an internationally famous Professor,

commits suicide, there must
be a reason for it.

I knew Masterson.

We were old neighbors and close friends.

He'd have been likely to discuss
his main problems with me.

Suicide is highly improbable.

Judgement based, on insufficient evidence.

Besides,

The Duke, I'm sore he had no motive
for stealing those jewels.

And the postman in Hamburg had
no reason to kill Professor Lawrence.

It was an outside force.

If we accept your deductions, Bill.

If we assume that something could suspend

the will of the Professor.

And cause a despotic intrusion
of an alien will,

then we're up against
a power that can ruin us all.

We must go back over the whole affair.

I'm absolutely sure there
are valuable clues

in the case of the postman
which can lead os to the solution.

If my theory is correct,

the crimes must have at least
one conspicuous feature in common.

Yes, but what?

Volpios must come over here.

You know I purposely arranged
a private meeting between us.

The affair is highly confidential.

I know of the affair,
and I've produced the solution.

- You have solved the case?
- Mother solves all my cases.

Here's my guess.

There exists an outside compulsion
a mysterious influence,

so we're forced to assume,
a hypnotizing machine.

So fantastic, its almost plausible.

Today they have an
apparatus for everything.

Cigarette butt in your mouth,

that's how You detect a career detective.

- It's a great weakness of mine.
- Come Blackie.

Let's leave the solution to the brains.

Mother like to shout blindly,
but she scores quite often.

Now back to our case.

Listen Volpios, I'm positive that
the vital factor in this affair.

Most be connected with
that murder in Hamburg.

Any new information about it?

When I let there wasn't a thing,
nothing in all the police reports so far.

The postman’s story
hasn't helped us a single bit.

He talks about the kids he saw
playing on the football field.

All about the dog
that tried to bite a woman.

- Even a man taking a photograph.
- Photographer?

Well yes, a tourist was there
taking souvenir pictures.

Just like the picture of Masterson
someone took before he killed himself.

And the Duke of Rampart drove
past a group of photographers.

Before he stole the princesses necklace.

But my dear Major...

Each time photography was involved.

Well it could very well be a coincidence.

Three times in a row,
persistent coincidence.

No, we must ask ourselves,
is it possible by means

of an apparatus, to control the will
of another person.

I cant imagine such a machine,

on less its the hypnotizing machine
Your mother talked about.

Still today we have atom bombs,
and fly at the speed of sound,

everything is possible.

We're ready with the second device.

We must avoid too many experiments
to test the efficiency of the apparatus.

Somehow we have to work out
a definitive experiment to make.

- Have you any ideas?
- Yes.

What for instance?

We must get a murderer to commit suicide.

Have you thought about what you just said?

Then the device is at your
complete disposal,

to carry out any experiments you so wish.

I'll be needing it tomorrow at 4 am.

If this model works,
then our power will know no bounds.

A hangman who himself, is hanged.

This last test shows, no defense
can withstand our new weapon.

- Good day.
- Do you want something?

I'm a photographer for
new review on our animal friends.

Will You permit me to photograph your dog?

Hear that blackie?
Make us a friendly face.

What about a human interest
picture with his mistress?

Would You be so kind as to tell me,
how to get to Marble Arch please?

That’s very easy, walk down this street,

It's just past the
post office on the left.

Thank You.
You have your orders?

- Yes sir.
- Here, You better take this.

You are familiar with it?

- Yes, its a hand grenade.
- Good.

Well inspector I'm sorry
You have to leave us.

I'm just a plain policeman,

mysterious stuff like this,
is a delicacy for me.

My daily bread is burglary,
confidence tricks...

and a few cozy robberies and murders.

- The airport James.
- Yes, sir.

Halt!

Where are You going James?
This is not the way to the airport.

Following my orders.

Head over to the airport.

Those aren't my orders.

From who?

From my new boss, sir.

I'm your boss, James.

Sorry sir, I have orders to
bring you to my new boss.

Take me to the airport.

Drop your weapons on the floor.

I have a hand grenade.

The three of us will be blown to pieces.

I believe him.

Whoever forced the hangman to
kill himself, could achieve this too.

You better do what he says.

Drop your weapons on the floor.

We cant avoid admitting that
Princess Diana has been kidnapped.

As well as Joe Rank,
and the police commissioner.

Not to speak of our ally from Hamburg,
Inspector Volpios.

You have any clues?

Only that photographer
seen in Doncaster forest.

A helicopter has been combing
the area ever since.

A foresters home with farm buildings.

A good spot for a landing,
we can make some enquiries.

- Have you understood the order?
- Yes, sir.

That's good, a helicopter with 2 pilots.

Now we'll have to put our
pilot friends on the wrong track.

- Who do you receive your orders from?
- Major Bill Tern.

Oh, a very good friend of mine,
these many years.

Kindly walk back to your plane,
and broadcast him the following message.

He reports every half hour.

Flight 0.17 ready to report.

3B ready for report.

Landed at former forest rangers,
06 miles from London.

Full search of premises, found nothing
but storage sheds and chicken coops.

3 farm hands declare wanted cars
are headed towards Glenmore.

- We proceed to Scotland: Over.
- Received you clearly.

They're going to Scotland.

The Scottish high lands
are a probable destination.

I've summoned You all here,
for the express purpose

of assisting me to halt
the decay of the country.

And to bring back,
the glory of the empire.

And to bring new leadership.

If England expects that of me,
I'm ready to serve.

- And You, Joe Rank?
- I am too sir.

You Inspector Volpios,
will have a special task.

I'm at your command.

I'm afraid you have no choice,
Inspector Volpios.

When we take over the government,

everyone will have to co-operate.

We stand on the threshold
of a new era for England.

Representatives of the old order,

are to be promptly
and systematically eliminated.

But Bill, Dr. Mabuse
can't be this mastermind.

You're really quite mad.

We British can never recognize facts
on less we are really compelled to.

Every day people vanish,
in broad daylight.

Here is a list of them.

Each one a top Ranking authority
in his special branch of science.

Gas!

- Tern...
- It's Nancy Masterson.

Hello Nancy, what can I do for you?

Major Tern, I must tell you something.

- I'm so afraid
- Where are you?

I ran away from my home.

And I'm in a little hotel
called Hotel Marigold.

- Room number 26.
- Good, I'll come right over.

- Who is it?
- Bill Tern.

What’s the matter?

- Ann tried to murder me.
- Your housekeeper?

She was my nanny and my friend.

I still cant believe any of it.

First of all, just try to calm down.

How did you happen to choose this hotel?

I ran away from my place into the street.

This was the first hotel I saw,
And I walked in without thinking.

That’s about it.

You're the first person I thought of
to ask for help Major Tern.

Call me Bill.

- Please help me Bill.
- Of course.

But first of all, You'll have
to remain right here.

I'll return in a little while.

- And when will that be?
- As quickly as I can.

Don't open to anybody but me.

Who are you, what do you want?

Why so unfriendly?

You're more beautiful when you're smiling.

Thank you.

What's wrong with you blackie?

You getting nervous?

- Mother, You're still up?
- I waited up for you.

- With a revolver?
- Quite right.

You bad boy, have You lost your wits?

Why did you do that to me?

Tell me mother.

Do you feel an irresistible
and driving force?

Absolutely.

I feel an irresistible and driving force,

to give you a few good
whacks on your bottom.

Is it possible the apparatus
failed to work on you?

What are you talking about?

Did a photographer visit you?

Don't worry about your tough old mother.

You're a plucky old bird alright,
You're stronger than any apparatus.

Do you really believe this apparatus,

could force a mother to kill her own son?

That, and more.

Could it be Mabuse do you think?

Volpios and you share the same fixed idea.

Won't You please try to remember
mother, Mabuse is dead.

Sny theory that holds otherwise is
completely absurd and ridiculous.

But what the devil, You could be right.

You called me, Sir?

To record this text on tape,
We will pass it on to the police.

This is police commissioner
Robert Allingham.

I have an important message
for all of you.

The power which I represent
possesses a secret weapon,

of on limited possibilities,

and it delivers the following ultimatum.

Immediate abdication
of the present government.

And unqualified obedience to the new one.

The lawfulness of which
has been recognized

by her Majesty Princess Diana.

Intersection point,
5 miles west street in precinct A1.

Now we've got him.

You have the privilege of
being chosen by the new government.

The new government?
I'm not sure I understand.

You're not being asked to
understand, just carry out orders

In a moment,
Princess Diana will be our guest.

However any hesitation
in regard to our authority,

might force us to make her our prisoner.

Loyal officers...

Tern here, they've smashed
one of our radio cars to pieces.

Determine it's position at once. Out.

- Shall I wait?
- No thank you.

Help, help me Bill.

Bill help, help me.

Joe Rank...

Hello Bill, get in here.

Any choice with that revolver?

Come in Major, it would be
unhealthy to torn him down.

What's happened to Nancy Masterson?

She's safe and sound,
all we needed was her voice.

Would you shut that damn thing off...

You seem agitated.

Come on my friend,
You might as well just relax.

Am I under special classification
to rate getting kidnapped in style?

You're not being kidnapped,
You're going to be killed.

I'm so happy to know that.

You don't seem worried...

I'm very worried.

But we're trained never to show fear.

We'll be there soon.

Inspector Volpios will handle the rest.

Why is it you?

Our new boss finds it more amusing.

When a college does it.

- College...
- Any objections?

Get out Bill.

- If the apparatus is that powerful..
- A car's coming!

Inspector Volpios quick,
get under the bridge.

Are you going to carry out your order?

It's a double order,
first I kill you then me.

The corpses will be washed
down by the river.

So, we going to die together.

Neither of us will die.

- Then it failed to work with you?
- Failed completely.

I just pretended...

do as to learn as much
as possible from them.

Rank was assigned to see we were dead.

Tea is served gentlemen.

- No coffee, just some tea.
- That’s what I said.

- And a cigarette, mine are all soaking wet.
- Yes, my dear Major.

Thank you.
I have no idea at all,

why the damn thing didn't work on me.

- You're not the only one.
- I beg your pardon?

- I said, you aren't the only one.
- Yes, yes, I know.

Mabuse is immune also.

But in his case there's a reason,

he's wearing a counter device.

- And what are you wearing?
- I beg your pardon.

I repeat, what are you wearing?

- A blanket.
- I must arrest you.

- Are you being funny?
- Arrest you.

You're all we've got as a counter weapon

We must discover
the cause of your immunity.

Yes, I'm immune against chicken pox.

No, your immunity against the thing.

Look Major, I really don’t understand you.

Would You mind speaking up?
My ear is full of water.

My hearing aid is drenched.

Hearing aid?

An electronic hearing aid, that must be it

- An electronic battery supply
- A what supply?

Just a moment.

My mother doesn't answer.

Odd, I hope nothing's happened to her.

No... no.

Mother, mother what's wrong with you?

Bill...
Thank you.

You woke me up just in time.

I could feel the strangler's
fingers on my neck.

You didn't answer when I telephoned,
why was that?

He tried, but he couldn't fool me.

I let it ring at least seven times.

Are you having trouble with your hearing?

What's that you say?

Have you any difficulty with your hearing?

Haven't you ever heard
anyone talk of a woman's vanity?

A whole lifetime, and you never
told me You wore a hearing aid.

Oh Bill...

I have better things to
worry about than that.

You're a darling mother.

You've cleared op a big problem.

Let me have your hearing aid will you?

Yes, if You'll be careful with it.

That's our weapon against Dr Mabuse.

Look at this.

That's the same model I have, dear lady.

Thank you Inspector, I'm very well.

Inspector Rank, you'll be
needing your official identification.

Take this down.

Plans for the hold up of the train.

- Cockstone team reporting.
- Hyliard team reporting.

I repeat, I repeat. The time
is 3 minutes and 0 seconds.

The mail train is 3000 meters from you,

It is hidden from you by the curve.

The engineer and fireman are not armed.

The money we need to overthrow
the government, is located...

in the second car. There are
2 to 3 million pounds.

Inside this car are four men,
also unarmed.

The train is being uncoupled
behind the second car.

The engine is proceeding
with the first two cars,

- to the point of rendezvous.
- Got it.

Inspector Rank is the
only one who is armed.

He is not participating in this action.

It is now two minuts and 56 seconds.

The train is rounding the curve,
and should be visible to you now.

You are to use the apparatus on
the engineer and the fireman.

Is that understood?

- Understood.
- Understood.

Take this..

Ok, uncouple.

What’s going on here?

- Stay where you are.
- Don't make a move.

Hey, come over here.

Now get back in your cab.

Let's go.

Take off.

Keep driving till I tell you to stop.

Hands up!

Get back there against the wall.

Come on, move.

Now, stay right there.

- Ok...
- Now drive back.

Time is 26 minutes 0 seconds,
job completed no casualties.

Police authorities report a mail robbery,

has been committed along the
London Glasgow railway line.

The robbery was one of the
greatest in criminal history.

So far, the police have released
little information,

and much of the case remains unclear.

As far as can be seen...

- Scotland Yard.
- Thank You.

As far as the catastrophes
we've had to bear.

As, as we now know.

The result of the criminal
activities of a group.

Which possesses this mysterious invention.

Our information now leads us to believe...

this is their main base of operations.

Our special forces assigned to this task

are here, here and here, awaiting orders.

The difficult part of this enterprise is,

that we must meet an enemy we don’t know,

and against whose weapons, we are,

for the time being, helpless.

Furthermore, the nature of the action
requires absolute secrecy.

One word about this in public,
and hysteria will break out

and we couldn’t possibly
regain control of the situation,

therefore your compliance to my orders,
must be faithful and precise.

And absolutely without question.

You must not execute orders,
on less they come directly from me.

The only exception is Major Bill Tern.

He has a mission assigned
which must be a success.

His task is vital to
the mission we are on,

and thus he must have our aid.

Obey Major Tern's orders
as though they were my own.

Well, that completes the briefing,
thank you gentlemen.

Nancy and the princess must be
rescued before our men attack.

Nancy and the princess?
So Nancy’s first?

Love has its own scale of values.

For me Nancy comes first, but I'll do
what I can for the princess too.

I hope that my mothers hearing aid
doesn't stop functioning now.

What amplification does a normal
ear perceive with that device?

Well I can hear the moving
and scuffling of ants making love.

I hear something.

The pilot, and he's one of our men.

I'll explain the situation.

Believe me, it wont do
any good what so ever.

Then I'll have to figure out
another way of doing it.

James,

James, are you there?

I'm sorry Joe, it had to be.

And when they come to they'll be normal.

You mean the psychic affect
disappears that easily?

Yes, sleep cancels the affect of the ray.

That's why Mabuse is forced
to re-issue orders,

with the device every 24 hours.

Lets find a place to keep these two
before they wake up.

Watch it! That fence
might be electrically charged,

Many thanks...
I'm gonna try from above,

Lucky the chimney isn't smoking,

Tea, your highness.

We're going to record the princesses
speech, how long is it to be?

Exactly 2 minutes.

What's wrong, who are you?

Bill Tern, Scotland Yard.

Commissioner, You're now
immune to the device.

What do I do?

Pretend, don’t let them suspect.

Alright Tern, I understand.

How are you feeling?

I've got to phone Scotland Yard.

You find an excuse if they come looking
for me, I'll be back as soon as I can.

Make sure that he behaves
himself when he wakes up.

- Nancy, Nancy.
- What’s the matter?

It's me, Bill.
They've sent me to rescue you both.

Get op and dressed, I'll get the princess.

Rank, how did You get here?

- I managed to escape a while ago.
- What’s happened to Bill Tern?

I don’t know sir, but I'll be glad
to volunteer for a search.

Good, Rank You're the only one
with first hand knowledge of the area.

You're to report to me
every few minutes by radio.

Yes, sir.

Get on either side and push.

Who was the man up in the helicopter?

Don't worry, there wont be any trouble,

I've commanded the pilot
to crash into the chimney.

What's wrong Bill,
You haven't said a word.

- What's wrong Major Tern.
- Bill, answer us, what is it?

We're out of fuel,
I'm afraid we've got to land.

We've reached the forest rangers
house undetected.

Marching against rangers house
from west - north west.

Surveillance impossible from this side,

wood piles offer excellent cover.

I urge you to put into action all
the men you have at your disposal.

I'm going to have
a closer look. Out.

16 men move out and take up positions.

They're coming after us in,

sector 0-26 AF.

The police have entered the
effective radios of my apparatus.

The commissioner is to deliver
a speech, so wake him up.

He's of no further use to us.

Come on commissioner, wake up.

We have a difficult day ahead of us.

12 devices with a telescopic range
of at least a 166 meters,

are placed in position
near the wood piles,

activate instantly.

Sir, Princess Diana and Nancy Masterson.

Thank you Major, as you see,
we're in a bit of a jam.

Yes I know.

It's this mysterious device, however,
there is protection against it.

Sir, we've picked op a
suspicious character.

Bring him here.

Don't fuss, please.

Mother, what are you doing here?

I'm bringing you the solution.

- A suitcase full of hearing aids?
- I can explain everything.

Stand ready to speak to your men.

At the exact time we agreed on,
Commissioner.

At your order sir.

They march like robots to their death.

Give orders for them to
shoot each other down.

Damn it!

Scotland Yard loses.

Come on, speak, Commissioner.

Say something now!

Tell our men to remain concealed.

Now hear this, this is
Commissioner Allingham.

This is my last order to you.

Stay undercover and
head towards the building.

The device is effective
over what distance?

A 166 meters.

Fifty meters from it.

Listen! All stop,
I was forced to this.

Halt! Stay in a safe range!

You fool!

My hearing aids gotten fashionable,
a whole company wears it

Thanks to my mother.

Advance your men, shoot only
if absolutely necessary.

It's sleeping gas.

- What’s that?
- It's the device.

I know how it works.

Hey!
Collect all those devices.

- I'll try the device from outside.
- Yes, we must get him alive.

What's that, dynamite?

Just a little something to send
your colleagues to kingdom come.

Cover me, I'm going to rush him.

Blow the lock off the safe door.

Close the door.

- Now we've got him.
- He'll stifle in there.

Major, he claims to know
the combination of the safe.

Come on, hurry up!

I'm the only one who does know it.

I'll open it only if you guarantee
to get me off easy.

If we can get him out alive,
I'll see what I can do.

Now, hurry and open it.

I'm also prepared to show you
where the money is hidden.

Get him out.

What do you want from me?

You have a score
to pay, Dr. Mabuse.

Mabuse, I'm not Dr. Mabuse.

Mabuse is dead.

I myself issued his death certificate.

He died in my hospital,
I'm professor Pohland.

I haven't any idea what’s going on.

What am I doing here?

How did I get here?

Joe, take him along.

Obviously this case will be
determined by the psychiatrist.

There's not much we can do.

Come on, Volpios.

We've got the device and all the jewels,

from the necklace of
Princess Diana. All 13.

Quick, Nancy,
13 can be a lucky number too.

Tomorrow You're going to marry me.

Tomorrow, today you silly girl,
never give a man a chance to reflect.

You're right as always mother.

A smart cop always knows
when he isn't wanted.
