All language subtitles for 1967 - Die blaue Hand

In the name of the Crown
the following judgement is issued:

The accused David Donald,
son of the third Earl of Emerson,

is sentenced to life in prison
for murder.

However, the court have decided,

due to the medical statement
of Dr. Albert Mangrove...

and the reasons of the defense
which are based upon it...

to suspend the penal servitude
and the accused...

because of his complete
unsoundness of mind...

is therefore commited to mental hospital.

I am innocent!
I am innocent!

I am innocent!

I am innocent!

I am innocent!
I am innocent!

I am innocent!

Hello!
Here Speaks Edgar Wallace!

The son of the third Earl of Emerson.
A disgrace for the whole of England!

What is the matter with the youth, Craig?

Traditions, the tradition our
feet steps in.

Yes, is London a cesspool of vice?
- Yes, Sir.

The youth is not to be regarded no more.
They have...

How lovely, that there still are exceptions!
- Your tea.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, my child.
Where was I?

At the youth, Sir. - Glamorously.
Yes.

You said what?
- No, Sir.

Dave!

Dave, come here!

What has happened?
- Sir, Nurse Dairen was attacked.

She is dead.
The Patient Dave Emerson has escaped.

Arrange all that's necessary!

I must call the Yard!
What is the name of the dead?

Nurse Dairen.
- Thank you.

Sir, the attendant infor...
- What's with him?

He has taken up pursuit.
- Thank you.

You see, Dave will not come far.
Suppose he's already at home.

Castle Gentry?
- It's only 4 miles.

Place! Place!

Remain there!

I'm looking for you, Anthony!
I called you straight away.

My brother Dave has escaped from the institute.
- And I heard a knocking at the door.

I went down, but only a dog
stood outside the door. Very strange!

Come along!

I must ask you for extreme caution,
it is a very large dog.

Very strange, Sir!

Sir...

I know, that you are here, Sir.

I... only want to help.

Sir!

I heard a scream, Anthony!
- A scream, Mylady?

Perhaps an animal?
- No.

It sounded like a human.

Like the scream of a human.

Check it out!
- If you would accompany me...

Since when are you afraid, Anthony?
- Since I've been to this house...

Mylady!

Strange, Mylady!

Dave did this!

He must be here!

That will be Dr. Mangrove,
or maybe the Police already.

You open, Anthony! Tell Richard,
that he would come to me.

As you wish, Mylady!

Thanks.

Where is he? Where is Dave Emerson?
- Lady Emerson expects you already.

Search the house, in every corner!

Richard, open up. It's Dave!

Richard!

Mr. Richard?

Mr. Richard?

Yes?
- Lady Emerson expects you in the Salon.

I'm coming.

Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but...
- Just do your duty, Sir John.

Regardless of the name
of our family. Please!

Are you alone in the house, Mylady?
- Alone with my Butler Anthony...

and with my son Richard.
- And where is your son now, Mylady?

There you are. Where have you been?
- Excuse me, Mother.

Have you heard?

Dave has killed an attendant!
- But why should Dave...

Why do you look at me like that?

For a moment I thought that you were Dave.

Why, do you know my brother?
- I've seen a picture of him.

Dave and Richard are twin brothers.
I can hardly tell the difference myself.

Yes, the similarity is amazing.
But this is Richard.

How do you know?

Dave ran 4 miles,
and is wearing institute clothes.

What are the Police doing in the house?

This is my daughter Myrna
and my sons Robert and Charles.

Dave has escaped.

He has committed two murders.

Dave?

Richard!

Richard!

Never, I don't believe it!
- But you know he's killed before.

He never admitted that, he never did!
- Because he is mad!

Or do you doubt the experts report?

I feel, something's not right.
He is still our brother!

Yes, but a lunatic and a murderer!
- And he is surely in this house.

That I believe!

Yes?

May I come in?
- Yes Richard. Come!

You know, we all sit together,
because...

Everything is so uncanny.
Don't you feel it too?

Dave was ill. This is his room.
He wrote our family chronicle.

And brought with him a bad temper, such?
And what is this?

The Blue Hand. That piece of armour
is found in the ancestral gallery.

It belonged to Count Lille-Bascourts
of the french branch of the house.

Shall I tell you what this is?
This is the murder weapon. It's what killed the attendant!

Where is this piece of equipment?
- I didn't know, that it even existed.

I thought it to be a mere fantasy.
- The Blue Hand!

This is truly insane. Come now,
let's leave this mass grave.

Yes, that's where it probably belongs.

But not that I ever saw it.
- A historical equipment after all.

Which Count was this?
- Lille-Bascourts.

Only the French has such ideas.
Good night Mylady. - Good night!

Oh.

I would like some tea!
- Very good, Mylady.

Excuse me, Mylady.

Are you not in the wrong room, Inspector?

I don't think so...

Dave Emerson!

I must tell you something.
- The blabbing of a mad man...

doesn't interest me.

Here! Is this sufficient for you?

Yes.

I am Dave. But be rest asured:
I have never killed anyone.

Am I expected to believe that?
- Yes, you are, you must!

I fled, yes.
But someone helped me to escape.

That is not the blabbing of a mad one.
- And who was it that helped you to escape?

I don't know, damn it! I don't know!
- And where did you get that?

From the cabinet. It's Richards.
I am Dave!

But where is Richard?

Help! Help!

What is the matter, Myrna?
- A man behind the curtain.

How did he look?
- I didn't see his face.

But his hand, an iron hand,
with long knives.

The Blue Hand!

What's this?
- The file on Dave Emerson, Sir John.

The case, which sent him to prison.
Pardon! The lunatic asylum!

A murder, which he didn't commit, right?
- Correct. Our gardener Edvard Amery,

who I'm supposed to have killed.
- You were found with him!

The knife was in your hand.
Or was it the gardener who was the murderer?

No. It became a nightmare for me.

I saw him at night in my room.
- But he wasn't.

No! I heard his voice,
followed it and saw him sitting at the table.

But he wasn't!
- Right. He haunted me,

his sight, his voice.
I doubted myself.

I asked myself: Am I still sane?

As I woke up at night,
in the gardeners house,

the knife in my hand and beside me...
- The dead gardener!

That's all I know.
At the time you confessed to everything.

Just a moment.
- The confession was extorted!

Because there are people,
who want to make me insane!

I swear, I have never killed anyone!

Oh, you are so completetly sure, are you?
- Sir John, Dave is not the Blue Hand.

It cannot be him. At the time when Myrna
was attacked, I was with Dave in his room.

Oh, Craig, I...

Now...

Now I feel a little bit
crazy myself.

Please, Sir.
- Good morning.

Thank you, for coming so fast.
- You see me dismayed, excited,

in deep grief. Was it a murder?
- Two!

You were Daves legal advice.
I'm afraid, we'll need you again.

Yes, where is he?
- Not yet found.

Nobody knows, where he is.
- But he should be close.

And he will repeat his attack on Myrna!
- Oh, It was not Dave!

Do not say "It was not Dave"!

I can never believe that fact,
that Dave is a murderer either.

What disturbes me, is another thing.
- What...

Mr. Douglas?
- Yes, what, Mr. Douglas?

Forgive me, Myrna, but...

Everyone loves you, even Dave.
And It's so unthinkable,

that he would try to kill you.
- Who could be responsible the murders in question?

It could nevertheless only be Dave...
and the worst is...

What, Mother?
- One must say it once more:

It is, as if insanity is
directed against the whole family.

Castle Gentry. Please?

One moment. For you, Miss Myrna!
- Yes, please?

What? Who is there?

Dave?

Where are you? Where do you speak from?

No, that's out of the question! Where?
Petit Maxim?

No, I won't tell anyone.

Yes. I'll come immediately.

Who drove away? - Miss Myrna, Sir.
Where to?

Petit Maxim, the name was.
She received a call from Dave!

Dave?
- Yes. Strangely, Sir!

Hello!

Is anyone here?

Hello? Dave?

Myrna?

Dave!

Myrna, here I am!

Where are you, Dave?
- Here, Myrna! Come here!

Dave?

Myrna!

Robert!

I gladly handing over the personal
file on nurse Dairen to you.

But for what reason?
- It was...

Dave Emerson who murdered nurse Dairen.

Maybe It's common I suppose.
Why Scotland Yard's not capable,

of finding the murderer,
when they know, who it is?

You ask amusing things, Doctor.
- Yes, yes, I know. You thought...

What did we thought?
- You had your doubts, and you thought:

"Wonder if you look at it,
what actually proceeded there".

NO! NO! NO! So, what's your conclusion?

I must tell you, Sir John.
One is merely a psychiatrist!

Put the file on Dairen back were it belongs.
With your permission, Sir John?

Yes, please. But we still need it.
- Certainly, at any time.

Yes, You have it made! - Why?
You get your patients broght to you.

We have to look for ours.
- May we take a look in your cells?

Naturally!
Please.

A stripteaze dancer, Sir John.
- A Strip... and insane too?

She takes it on and off continueously.
An occupational hazard I believe.

My God, where do you find them.
You must see this! Most intrestingly!

Well?
- Yes, this is really interesting!

And here?
- A very sad case.

How come?
- This woman murdered her child.

Her curse is to constantly,
repeat this murder as long as she lives.

I've heard enough...
And this here?

Yes, please.

Well yes, this man is probably harmless.
- A murderer is a murderer,

even if you not regard him as such.
You sholud know that best. - I?

Well, as an experienced criminologist.
- Sir John!

A radio messeage from the Yard, Sir.
Mr. Robert Emerson has been found murdered.

What? Where?
- In Petit Maxim!

The Blue Hand!
Come along, Craig!

Pardon, Dr. Mangrove.

What are you still doing here?
- The file on Nurse Dairen.

You should put it back,
and not read it.

Sorry, Doctor.
Nurse Dairen was a friend of mine.

Her fate concerns me very much.
- Concerns us all, Nurse, us all.

Have you been in this cabinet here?
- No! No, I...

Go along now, Nurse.
- Yes, Sir.

Yes, I'm the owner of the Petit Maxim.
But I don't know anything!

The restaurant is closed during the day.
I'm honest! What can I do about people breaking,

in and killing each other? I'm innocent and legit.
- It really tears my eyes.

Never anything heavy, no more...

As gambling, pimping,
and assault?

As I already said: only small things.

A nurse Harris would like to talk to you.
- Oh yes, I'll be right there!

And you can go.
But this is not the end of it.

Much obliged, Sir.
Please!

Well... please!
- Oh please, after you.

Do you know that man?
- Him? No!

Your boss pleases me less than you.
- Can't imagine why.

If you are feeling lonely,
come and visit me.

I own the Petit Maxim. It's very elegant.
- The murderer uses silver knives too, or?

Nurse Dairen ment...
- That Dave Emerson is not insane!

First insane, and then not insane.
They have to make up their minds!

I heard it from nurse Dairen.
- You doubted...

the medical report from your boss?
- Yes!

She showed you? She told you?
- Yes, Sir.

She had written a report and
given it to Dr. Mangrove.

In which he was contradicted?
- Yes!

Well, that's all good and beautiful,
but where is this...

this report?
- Yes, I don't know. I've looked for it.

Go on!
- But it was no longer there.

Not even the private notes of nurse Dairen was there.
- Oh, private notes.

Were they directed against Dr. Mangrove?
- Yes, Sir.

I believe, she made a few
suggestions there, they...

They were?
- They spoke against Dr. Mangrove.

Nurse, we cannot begin anything.
We need proof!

Come back, if you find the
report and the notes.

I'll look for it and I'll find everything.
- Yes, yes.

Perhaps already tonight.
I have night duty, Sir.

Perhaps she knows more, than we believe.

You heard?
- Yes. And she is right!

Like, what's right?
Be more specific!

At least, that I'm not insane.

Which I am to hold against a physician,
who cannot determine that!

But he will remain here! - Why?
This cell must not be opened!

Have you cleared out the cells?
- Only the indicted, Sir.

I meant those! All those talked about.
The Police was not in vain here, Reynolds!

We must secure ourselves!

Dr. Mangrove!

The Boss!
-...I am not satisfied, not at all.

But, Boss...
- She heard it. The girl. Now!

And no more screw ups.
- And when?

Tonight!
- Good, Boss, I'll see to it, I...

I get cold sweat over my back,
when I hear this voice.

We must secure ourselves, I've said,
and not only against the Police.

Against him?
- Yes. We are soon out of business,

if we don't do something about it.
- Do what, Sir?

I already know, what...

and I also know, how.

Child, child. Nothing to be afraid of.
- I won't remain in this room!

And not in this house!
- What can we do?

The child is sick.
- I will speak with Sir John.

The Police hospital is a possibility.
At least she'll be safe there.

Your Tea, Mylady.
- Scotland Yard? Sir John, please!

Yes, urgently!

The ambulance from the Police is here.
- Thank you, Anthony.

The ambulance is here. Are you ready?
- Yes, Mother, we can go.

Good evening, Mylady!
- Good evening!

Goodbye, Charles!
Goodbye, Richard! Please forgive me, but.

But no, this is certainly better. Is it not, Richard?
- Yes.

Come, Myrna! Please, gentlemen!

Come!

Nurse Harris? - Yes, Sir?
You do know, what this lamp means?

Yes, Sir. Everyone has to stay.
- Yes, and that goes for you too.

Yes, Sir.

Please, Nurse Harris.

Dr. Mangrove, Dr. Mangrove please!

Dr. Mangrove? I don't understand, I...
- Well done! Did anyone notice anything?

No one, Sir.
- What? I don't understand.

Why am I here? Who are you, Dr. Mangrove?

It's so.
You are behind all these crimes!

Now I understand. Dave...
He was never insane,

nor was he a criminal.
The criminal is you!

Release me! Release!

No! Release me!

Release me!

I don't speak easy with people,
who talk nonsense.

I will give you something to
calm down your nerves.

No!

Out!

You didn't lock, Charles.
- No, I...

Why not?
- I have forgotten.

Richard, I cannot believe,
that Dave is a murderer.

Myrna was right, it is someone else...

But you don't know, who?
- Funny.

It seems to me,
as if I would know.

It's like, as if I could say the name.
- But you can't, can you?

No.

Good night!

Put the Whisky on the table,
Anthony.

Lionel Douglas.
- Inspector Craig, Scotland Yard.

I have a question.
Who besides you knew the intention of sending,

Myrna Emerson to the hospital?

Who? Well, who? My God, I don't know.

Nobody. Lady Emerson of course,
Charles and Richard. Myrna and...

yes... the Butler.
Why do you want to know?

I can't tell you that.
Please come tomorrow morning to,

The Yard for a hearing.
Good evening.

Good evening.

We had to employ a vast quantity of
collections for clarifying the murders:

Information on you and
on the Emerson family.

You were born as Shenk,
a former dancer,

appearing in...
- I know, what I was appearing in.

You became the second Mrs. Lord Emerson?
- Yes.

The first died giving birth to Myrna,
she's the youngest daughter. - Yes.

You don't have children
with Lord Emerson yourself?

No.

Where is Lord Emerson today, Mylady?
- I don't know.

He left me and the childern after 6 months of marriage.
- Why?

You have all the facts!
He comitted embezzlements...

and fled to America.
- He never contacted you again?

No, never.

May I ask for the connection?
What has all this to do with the murders?

Well, I'm not the mother of the children,
but I am Lady Emerson.

And you cross-examine me in this room,
in this manner, because it displeases you,

that I once was a dancer.
In clubs, where you yourself, Sir John,

without any doubt frequntly have visited.

Light, please!

Don't forget. There's only Richard and me.
And Myrna, if she's still alive.

We are the last ones!

You're looking at the family
history of Lord Emersons here:

his embezzlements, his getaway.
You can't prevent these murders,

and to clear them up can't be done,
and to search on... Well, where?

There must be a reason for these murders!
- The Madman's, Inspector.

Dave?
- But It's obvious of course.

Or that's what you believe?

Most crimes are comitted because
of only one thing.

Because of money!
- Money?

Is that the case here?
Castle Gentry is indebted. No, no.

Here is something else in question.
- Such as?

Haven't you noticed, Sir John?

Dave escaping from the clinic.
How could he do that?

Have you ever checked on Dr. Mangrove?

Mangrove?

You stand before the Police, Anthony.
- As you say.

You must answer all
questions truthfully.

I'll do my best, Sir John.
- I 'll then ask you once again:

What have you noticed?
- I haven't noticed anything, Sir John.

Oh, You'd wished you did...
- Like you!

One thing however. - Yes, what?
I'll say this most reluctantly.

Then don't say it reluctantly!
- Richard is Dave!

How long have you known that?
- For 3 days.

What have you noticed?
- Dave doesn't take suger in his tea.

But his brother Richard does.
- Has anyone told you that?

But, Sir.
- Say no more. Come along, Craig!

I tell you Craig, behind all this...
don't consider me mad...

is Lord Emerson.
- Who's missing in America?

Even that.

No, Sir John.

I think, the key to everything...
is the nuthouse!

What do you want from me?
Do you want to kill me?

If you are reasonable, nothing will happen.
- What do you require of me?

What do you know about your father?
- Of my father?

He owes you all the difficulties.
- How come?

Sign this!

Dr. Mangrove! Dr. Mangrove, please!

Sign it,
if you want to remain alive! Immediately!

I ask for Myrna Emerson, Mangrove.
- I haven't got the faintest, where she is, Boss!

We went to kill her, as you requested.

But she wasn't in her room.
- Really? If you want to say something,

do it fast!
- What'd you mean...

He begins, to become nervous, Reynolds.
Do you notice now, how good it is,

to have a pledge in your hand?
A pledge like Myrna.

Very good, Sir.
- She must be put in the cellar with the others.

I see, you haven't given up
your resistance yet.

You hope? You wait? On what?
Nobody helps you!

Nobody can help you!

We are the stronger ones, Reynolds.
None can do to us what...

Someone has searched the cabinet!

The report of nurse Dairen is missing.
And her diary!

But Sir!

Come along, Reynolds.
She'll be in her room.

Scotland Yard?

How careless, Nurse Harris!

I want out! Let me out!

I'm a mouse who are looking for a cat.
Are you a cat?

Back! Come here, if you don't,
want to get crushed.

Sit down. - Who are you?
Names doesn't matter down here.

They probably want another control.
- I don't know. You are...

You are nevertheless a...
- A lunatic? No, I'm not.

But since some want me to be, I am.
- I don't understand.

Some buy appraisals from Dr. Mangrove,
in order to get those out of the way,

who are in the way!

You see me surprised and speechless.
- That shows itself.

A house search? With me?
You are responsible when the patients,

gets a schock! - Yes, yes.
Open the cells! Follow me.

It's the Police! Hobnailed boots.
The doors are opened. Do you hear?

What's this?
- Our prayers corner.

Most cells are empty.
- That's my fault, if it disappoints you.

What'd you actually look for?
- Inspector!

Now we have it.
Behold!

That's nurse Harris!
- I know It's nurse Harris.

Let her out!

Let her out!

Nurse Harris.
Don't you recognize me?

Who? What?

What do you want from me?

Who are you?
- I'm Inspector Craig from the Scotland Yard.

You were yesterday with me.
Don't you remember?

What do you say, is she mad?
Yesterday she were with us.

And she was completely normal.
- Yes, this woman is mad.

It doesn't mean a thing,
what she was yesterday I'm afraid.

She was already at risk as I feared.

Nurse Harris handeling of the
brain sick patients...

undermined her own mental stability.
But, must I explane that to you?

Yes, you must. That's favourable.
- What do yo want me to say?

That from now on it becomes,
even more, unfavourable if you don't tell the truth.

I don't know at all, what you refer to.
- Of your neck, Dr. Mangrove!

From which you can be strung up.
Which usually most people find an unhealthy feeling.

This must be a joke!

I can't stand this anymore,
this...

this waiting for the next murder.
There are murder in these walls.

I know.

When Myrna is dead, we are the last.
- Don't forget Dave!

How can I forget him?
The mad one, the murderer!

Sir John, the Inspector...
won't speak of him again.

Wasn't that clear to you too?
No more word of Dave. Why not?

Perhaps they consider him to be innocent.
- Innocent?

What do you believe then?

I must tell you something, Mother.

I am Dave!

What do you say?
- You could never tell the difference between us.

Would that be so unlikely?
- What do you mean?

Shall I describe the lunatic asylum for you?
My cell,

the corridors, the noises,
the lights, the sometimes roll calls,

where everyone had to stand in line.

This joke is not funny!
If I were to believe this,

I have to inform the Inspector.
- I know that, Mother.

And Sir John knows it.
- Don't make me mad!

Why am I not to say this?
Say this to you?

That would be Anthony.

I don't know, what I'm to say, Dave.
- It's not necessary, to say anything.

You see me completely helpless.
- That's what I thought.

And where is...

Richard? Don't you know?

Dave!

Evening, Inspector.
- Why didn't you shoot?

Not without ammunition, there are no bullets in the clip.

Where did he go?
- The Blue Hand has clever ideas.

Where is he, he can't vanish in to thin air?

Sir, do you need my help?

Sir?

Oh!

A house full of surprises I must say that!
- Yes, only the Blue Hand is left.

Open! Open!

Hello! Hello! Open!

Open!

Can I do something for you, Sir?

Did you open?
- I heard you call...

Answer my question!
- I...

You knew however, how to open the door!
- Yes, Sir.

It's this button here.

Why haven't you told this, Anthony?
- No one asked me, Sir.

Now, how do you like it in the cellar?
- What do you want from me?

To sign this.
- And then you are going to kill me?

Which is usual in your circles.
- Fear not! I need you alive!

But you don't have to understand that!
- I will not sign!

Never!

I would gladly have spared you,
but if you absolutely want to know.

Cell 9!
- Cell... Yes, Sir.

I'll give you until this evening.

Yes, what? I don't understand, Boss.
- Dave Emerson, who plays Richard Emerson,

is not dead.
- Oh...

I didn't know that, Boss.
- As a doctor you developed...

some dodgy methods, Mangrove!
Send out the Blue Hand again!

And if It's not fixed good this time,
you are too!

I got you out from the penitentiary,
so you could carry out this work.

How did you come here, without being seen?

Oh, Dr. Mangrove! This is...
- Yet again another Police search?

May I see your warrant?
- Yes, I...

So you don't have one? You broke in!

I'll answer for it myself.
- That you'll have to do!

Come here now! Please, Inspector!

Help! I want out!

Let me out of here!

Please, take a seat.
What shall I do with you?

Am I to tell about you or forget the whole thing?
- I leave that to you.

I could also regard your action as
pardonable overeagerness.

What do you think of it?
- Nothing at all, Sir.

Well, let us have a drink then.

Please, Inspector.
- I would like a Whisky, but...

this one!
- Why so suspicious?

But please! Cheers!

Suspicious is for me to be.
What are you doing here?

Do you assume that Myrna Emerson is here?
- Yes, Doctor.

And your friendliness
cannot fool me about it.

Not fool me about it, I said.

Don't you want to go home, Sir John?
- Go home? Oh, Mabel,

what am I at home?
- Well, how should I know.

Have Craig called in yet?

Yes. I wonder where he is.

Yes!

Sir John, the information from Interpol in New York.
- Thank you.

Straight from the cable.

There's no time to waste. No!

We must sound the alarm immediately. - Yes.
No, not you!

Alarm! Raid on the lunatic asylum!

Idiot!

Help! Let me out of here!
I want out!

I want out! I want out!

Help! Let me out!
Help!

Let me out of here!

Help! Help! Help!

Let me out! Help!

Hands up, Inspector!

Hands up!

Myrna!

Throw away your toys!

Turn!

Ready! After me!

Surround the house! 6 men follow me!

Well, Craig, what's this?
Why haven't you called in?

Oh. You already have.
And Myrna is here. Wonderful.

Can we begin to arrest them?
- Yes. All of them!

And first of all Dr. Mangrove!
- Where is he?

In the prayers corner!
- Aha.

What happened to him?

Poison.
He's not getting off that easy.

Wilson, Brown! Bring him to the hospital,
and pump out his stomach immediately.

What do you want from me?
I only carried out my orders!

What orders?
- I did, what someone required of me.

Who required?
- I don't know him.

A stranger? I don't believe that!
- He called himself only "The Boss"!

He called and said:

Do this or that and 3 days later
there were money on my account. So it began.

What began?
- He ordered expert reports,

which made it possible,
to commit people to my institute.

It was mostly...
matters of inheritances.

And one of these cases.
Concerned the inheritance of Lord Emerson.

I caught up inquiries,
I know the will,

and I know, who doesn't inherit.
- Talk!

The Police could never figure out.
But Lord Emerson...

made embezzlements from,
what someone else had done.

Lady Emerson!
- You know this?

We also have our sources. Go on!
- Lord Emerson covered for his wife at the time,

in order to finally leave her.

The inheritance, which he left,
goes to his children, and only when...

When they are not alive anymore,
to his wife, to Lady Emerson!

Yes.

How can one stand all this?
The strain, the...

Fear?

Yes, naturally. Am I to have none?

No.

I am with you

Excuse me, Mylady,
that we have to disturb you at this hour.

What... what is it, Sir John?
- We wanted to, Mylady...Craig!

Speak about what?
- About her husband Lord Emerson!

Correctly! Mylady, You know,
that your husband have died, don't you?

What?
- Mr. Douglas, as the family lawyer this question also concerns you.

Did you know, that Lord Emerson is dead
and that he have left a will?

I know it.
- Do you also know about the will?

Yes, I know about it!

Lionel!
- What you now think, I know.

Lady Emerson is the beneficiary,
and that she's the perpetrator!

The initiator of the murder series.
Lady Emerson, a murderess!

You think so?

Of this woman? - Which you love!
Yes.

How good all of this must fit into your concept.

But I'm afraid, you're wrong.

Anthony!

Inspector! Anthony! What happened?
- Someone came from behind.

A very unpleasant feeling,
to lose the soil under the feet!

Here, this is what I looked for, Sir.

What is it?
- A drawing of the secret passage.

It's very easy to open.
- Come along!

So: A)

The rosette above the right knee
is to be turned to the right.

B) The rosette at the pommel
is to be turned to the left.

C) Throw in a piece of penny.

Really sophisticated!

Richard... they killed him,
because they thought that,

I...

was Dave.

A doll!

Sir!

Hands up!

You know, where we are?
- Tell me.

In the garderners house.

And that's the place, where I am,
to have killed Amery, our gardener.

Dave!

Dave, open up!

What's the matter, Dave?
Open up!

Dave, don't you hear me,
open up!

Amery!

Amery!

Who's that?
- Our gardener Amery! He's alive!

You'll have to open the grave,
in order to determine, who was buried.

Meanwhile you could ask Dr. Mangrove!

Dave...

Please, Sir.
- Tell me Craig, where have you been?

Pardon me Sir John. But important things has occurred.

I begin with the solution of this case.
- What's that?

That's, to expose the main perpetrator.
Anthony!

Yes, Sir!

Myrna!
- Stand still Mylady!

Do not pretend feelings you do not have!
- I won't stand this tone!

Sir John, I must beg you.
- Be quick Inspector and hurt no feelings, if not necessary!

From where do you come? - From the lunatic asylum.
Who kidnapped you there?

Dr. Mangrove. He was arrested.
He stated, the following data...

a man, who he called "Boss".
- The perpetrator! He instructed the murders...

and executed them cold blooded.
The worst criminal of all!

What came over you?
- Pardon me, Sir.

But I treat her in such a way,
because she was my wife!

What are you saying?
- My divorced wife.

In all the years she did not learn,
how to be a lady. She remained, what she was:

Small, stupid, greedy of money!
With these possibilities!

I ask for clemency,
that I lost my temper.

Yes, yes.
- Forgive me, Mylady!

There's little choice for the man,
in question called the "The boss" and...

Have you lost your mind?
Sir John.

I've lost mine too!

Congratulations, Inspector!

But you'll never experience,
me stand before the court.

As I said awhile ago: Not much
of a choice anymore for the Boss.

Thus you were not meant.
Although you knew the will...

And Dave pushed the murder of
gardener Amery into your shoes.

A murder, that never was.
- What, I know nothing Inspector!

Not even I knew 5 minutes ago.
You Mr Douglas, brought Dave to the lunatic asylum,

in order for him to escape.
Because you needed a perpetrator,

who was blamed for the murders.
Murders, which you achieved with the help...

of Dr. Mangrove, in order to be
in possession of the inheritance.

However, your plan had
a small blemish.

There was one, who knew about the plan,

Richard Emerson. He is the Boss!
- It's difficult, to overcome!

He disappeared on the same day,
as Dave fled from the lunatic asylum.

And it was also, you and
Mangrove who gave the murder instructions.

Lady Emerson, whose late love for you
used you in a shameless way,

was only a willing tool.
- At the edge of the Abyss!

Against the next Wallace crime film
the "Die blaue Hand" was a chamber play.

It's called:
