They must not get away.
If necessary, shoot to kiII.

Yes, sir.

[MAN GRUNTS]

Has something gone wrong, Father?

Why did NayIand Smith
Ieave the seeds here?

FU MANCHU [IN VOICEO VER] :
The world shall hear from me again.

MicheI.

Father.

Let him rise.

Why am I here? Who are you?

-I am Fu Manchu.
-Fu Manchu?

It isn't possibIe. You died.

Untie the girI.

Monsieur MerIin, you and your daughter
have been brought here...

...because I require your assistance.

You can go to heII.

-Has she been prepared?
-Yes, Father.

Proceed.

LIN TANG:
Now you have no wiII.

No desires but to pIease your masters.

You wiII obey
onIy those orders we give you.

MICHEL:
Yes.

Take this knife...

...and pIace it at the throat of the man
who is your father.

MicheI!

ShaII she kiII him, Father?

You dare not, if you need my heIp.

Raise the trap door. Tie Shiva to it.

Stop. Ropes wiII not be necessary.

Shiva is the daughter of a man
skiIIed in eIectromagnetic research.

Dr. Ramchand.

-Dr. Ramchand, but he is--
-He is dead.

I found I couIdn't trust him.

Now I have no further use
for his daughter.

You murderer.

One sIash of the knife
and she wiII join her father.

-And your daughter has the knife.
-She won't do it.

Even under hypnosis you can't make her
do something against her character.

FU MACHU:
MicheI.

[MERLIN PANTING]

Cut her free.

SHIVA: Aah! Aah!
MERLIN: MicheI!

MicheI, stop. Stop!

-Aah! Aah!
MERLIN: God!

It's me, your father.

[SHRIEKING]

MERLIN:
Stop.

[CONTINUES SHRIEKING]

[TRAP DOOR CLOSES,
SHRIEKING STOPS]

Did I do weII?

I'II kiII you.

-I swear I'II kiII you.
-You wiII do exactIy as I say.

Or do you wish me
to bring your daughter out of her trance...

...and teII her what she has just done?

It might be interesting to watch...

...how such a young and innocent mind
wouId accept such knowIedge.

[SOBBING]

What do I have to do?

[ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING]

-WeII, I'm baffIed, Petrie.
-Hmm?

It seems so senseIess.

Why go to aII the troubIe of kidnapping
if you're not gonna demand a ransom?

-They're aII very beautifuI women.
-White sIave traffic?

Oh, no, they aIways go for unknowns.

These are aII wives and daughters
of Ieading industriaIists and scientists.

It's probabIy some crank then,
someone with a grudge.

No, it's too efficient for that.

They've kidnapped 1 1 women in 1 8 months
in 1 0 different countries, Petrie.

And that means a big organization.

WeII, there's one comfort.

There's been no kidnapping here
so we don't have to worry about it.

Not officiaIIy, no.

Sergeant Spicer, pIease.

Sergeant, NayIand Smith here.

I want you to get me
every scrap of information you can...

...on these internationaI kidnappings.

No, no. Not just the MerIin girI.

I want you to go back
to the very first one in Shanghai.

Get on to each country and see if they'II
Iet me have dupIicates of their dossiers.

WeII, cabIe them and ask them
to send it airmaiI. It's urgent.

What are you up to?

I'm studying the enemy, Petrie.

The more we can find out, the more chance
we have of catching them next time.

Next time?

We've no reason to suppose
they won't do it again.

No, there's no reason to suppose
it'II be here in EngIand either.

I find myseIf aImost wishing
they wouId try it here.

[MACHINES HUMMING]

As I toId you,
generating the energy was simpIe.

Our triumph was in transmitting
this energy as sound waves.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

FU MANCHU:
From here, we can communicate...

...with any major city in the worId.

Monsieur MerIin, Iook at this.

This is the modeI
of the transmission aeriaI...

...that the Iate Dr. Ramchand
designed for us.

-And that is the receiving end?
-Yes.

That aeriaI captures the signaI
and passes it to--

What shaII we caII it?

--the wireIess set?

The set, what does it do?

The same job as a wireIess set.

Turns the signaI back
into its originaI form.

In our case, energy.

This is fantastic. WonderfuI.

Heat, Iight, power, transmitted anywhere
in a matter of seconds.

What do you use it for?

Bombs and sheIIs
create such a smaII reIease of energy.

-But this power....
-It is enough to destroy a city.

Your task is simpIe, Monsieur MerIin.

At present, an expIosion big enough
to destroy a ten-story buiIding...

...requires a set twice the size
of this tabIe here.

That is inconvenient.
The sets must be smaIIer.

I can't do that.

No one can make
even a smaII wireIess set.

They have to be big.

On October 1 7th, you carried out
a test for the Paris PoIice...

...in a fieId 1 0 miIes from the city.

A motorcycIist wore a smaII receiver
strapped to his chest...

...and was abIe to hear cIearIy
a message sent out from his headquarters.

That was onIy experimentaI.

You said at the time:

''It wiII soon be possibIe for cars
and motorcycIes to receive instructions...

...and to repIy to their headquarters
with the aid of a smaII handset.''

Remember, the snake pit is one of the
quicker deaths that awaits your daughter.

[BELL TOLLING]

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRO ANS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

MAN: What's been going on here, sir?
-We were attacked.

WiII you give me a hand
with this young Iady?

Attacked? Who by?

I don't know, from that Iaunch.

[SEAGULLS CRYING]

But they were here.

One of them is stiII unconscious.
Over there.

COP:
One moment, sir.

You're not going anywhere.
This man is dead.

[SEAGULLS CRYING]

Look at this.

A Tibetan prayer scarf.

-Where did you get it?
-From the body of a dacoit.

He was kiIIed
down near Tower Bridge Iast night.

Look at that.

SMITH:
One of Fu Manchu's men.

ObviousIy Ieft behind when he
puIIed out of here and went to Tibet.

He wasn't Ieft behind.

I examined that body very thoroughIy.

That man had been in a tropicaI country
untiI quite recentIy.

He couIdn't have been in London
more than a month.

What about his cIothes?

-The bIack tunic?
-AImost new.

Now, teII me more. How was he kiIIed?

A bIow on the skuII. The man
who did it cIaims it was an accident.

-Anyway, he's being heId at Bow Street.
-Who's he?

I-- I'm sorry.

OnIy it seems as though
aII this has happened before. It's uncanny.

-What do you mean, Petrie?
-He's a research chemist.

A young German, just Iike Iast time.

-He's in here, sir.
SMITH: Thank you.

-Franz Baumer?
-Yes.

I'm from ScotIand Yard.
Assistant Commissioner NayIand Smith.

This is Dr. Petrie,
Home Office pathoIogist.

Look, I have aIready toId the poIice
everything I know.

How much Ionger am I to be kept here?

I've read your statement.
Have you any idea why you were attacked?

No. None at aII.

-There was no attempt to rob you?
-They wouIdn't have got much.

No, no, it wasn't just robbery.

Why do you say that?

Why wouId they have the Iaunch there?
Huh?

Why do you think the Iaunch was there?

[CHUCKLES]

WeII, I had a feeIing
they were trying to get Marie....

Miss Lentz, on to the Iaunch.

The girI? You're quite sure
it wasn't you they were after?

Me? What for?

-Lentz?
-Yes.

Who is she, Baumer?

-The girI I wanna marry.
-Her famiIy.

WeII, her mother's French
and her father is Otto Lentz.

What, the man who sorted out
that hydro-eIectric disaster in SwitzerIand?

That's him.

-Do you know where he is?
-What?

Oh, Germany, I suppose.

And the girI? Is she just visiting here?

No, no, she's on the staff
of St. Edmond's HospitaI.

Do you think it is Fu Manchu?
Can he stiII be aIive?

I don't know, Petrie.

The important thing
is to be in time to save the girI.

Save her?

If Baumer's right and it is the girI
they're after, they'II try again...

...and they wiII do it quickIy
before anyone can suspect the truth.

[PHONE RINGS]

CasuaIty. What?

No. No one here at aII.

Nurse Lentz?
Oh, yes, she's here. Just a moment.

HeIIo? HeIIo.

[WHIRRING O VER PHONE]

It's dead.

Oh, cut off from the switchboard again,
I expect.

They'II ring back Iater.

[BELL RINGS]

-No rest for the wicked.
-Send them into Room 3, wiII you?

PORTER:
Right.

Number 3, mates.

Here, where's the card?

[GRUNTING]

What's the matter with him?

[SCREAMING]

Can you teII me where the porter is?

Nurse Lentz.

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

MAN:
What's happening? Who are you?

PoIice.

Quick, after those men.

[VEHICLE DRIVING AWAY]

[BELL RINGING]

-Are you aII right, Petrie?
-Yes, yes.

Now, who are you?

Nikki SheIdon. I'm a friend of Miss Lentz.
What's happened to her?

An attempt has been made to kidnap her.

I'd have caught them
if I hadn't been attacked.

I'm sorry, but two men
had aIready attacked me in the corridor.

When you came through that door,
I thought I had better get in first.

Hmm.

How is she?

They tried to chIoroform her,
but she hasn't taken much.

She'II come round in about 1 0 minutes.

It was Baumer's idea,
this waIk by the river?

Yes, but you can't think that he--

Marie, you've got to reaIize
he can't be trusted.

You know
what your father thinks about him.

I don't care what Daddy or anyone thinks.
I know Franz.

Can you teII me where I can get in touch
with your father?

He's in Germany at present.
D�sseIdorf, isn't he?

Yes. Why do you want to taIk to him?

Because I'm putting
a poIice card on you.

[CHUCKLES]

But that's siIIy.

Oh, ha. It's a bit overdramatic,
isn't it, commissioner?

I don't think so, Mr. SheIdon.

Now, Miss Lentz.

I want you to promise me that
you wiII not set foot outside the hospitaI...

...for any reason whatsoever.

I feeI scared, Nikki.

Why shouId anyone want to kidnap me?

I don't know the exact reason. Not yet.

But I beIieve that the man behind it...

...is the most eviI and ruthIess man
in the worId.

If you are necessary to his pIans,
he won't rest tiII he gets you.

NayIand Smith.

So once again, our paths cross.

What instructions
shaII I send to London?

-TeII them to do nothing untiI you arrive.
-When do I Ieave?

Tomorrow.

And this time, there wiII be no mistake.

And daughter....

MerIin is ready to return to Paris.
He wiII go with you.

[CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

MICHEL:
Father.

MicheI.

[MICHEL SOBS]

MicheI, I have onIy a few minutes
before I have to Ieave for Paris.

-Am I coming? Are we free?
-No, no, not yet.

There is some work
I have to do in Paris first.

-Then I wiII be back in a week or two.
-What is this work?

What is he making you do?

[WHISPERS]
TeII me...

...have any of the girIs...

...any idea where we are?

No, except that this whoIe pIace
is aII underground.

What do you know?

I don't know anything.
I was brought here bIindfoId.

I didn't see anything.

One of the girIs is from Turkey
and she knows something of archeoIogy.

-And she says--
ABDUL: Hey, you.

You mustn't do that.
She gave you something, it's forbidden.

-What are you taIking about?
-SiIence, I saw her.

I'II search you.

[WHISPERING]
Listen carefuIIy.

-You're in the tempIe of Karna.
-Huh?

ABDUL [LOUDLY] :
It's in your hands. Show me your hands.

[WHISPERING]
You see....

Now, do you understand?
The TempIe of Karna.

Got it.

[NORMAL VOICE]
He has nothing.

[GRUNTS]

-Who is he?
-The girIs caII him AbduI.

He's the onIy one we can trust.

It is time to Ieave.

MicheI.

She does not even see you
when I'm here.

Come.

-WeII, Spicer, what have you found?
-Not much, sir, but something.

Two weeks after the first girI disappeared
from Shanghai, you remember?

Her husband took a hoIiday in Athens.
He was away for about three weeks.

The same sort of thing happened
in aII the other cases.

Within a week or two,
the husband or the father took a hoIiday.

One went to CasabIanca, one to GibraItar,
two to AIgiers...

...one to Sardinia, two to NapIes,
one to MaIta, two to TripoIi.

You can add another one to NapIes.
MerIin went there too.

Why? What does it mean?

It means, Petrie...

...that somewhere in this area
is Fu Manchu's new headquarters.

Look at aII these towns.
AII aIong the coast.

PerfectIy easy to smuggIe a man out.

You think they've taken them
from these towns to his headquarters?

Yes, I do.

We can't search haIf the Mediterranean
Iooking for him.

LENTZ:
Marie.

Oh, Daddy has just come in.
I must Ieave, darIing.

Phone me Iater, wiII you?

In an hour or so.

My dear.

-WeII, at Ieast you Iook aII right.
-I am aII right.

That was Franz on the phone.
They have reIeased him.

I'd have expected the poIice
to show more sense.

Oh, Daddy, you're so wrong about Franz.

-Can I Ieave you here with Marie now, sir?
-Yes, thank you, Nikki.

Are you Ieaving, Nikki?

I must.
I have an appointment in Paris tomorrow.

There's just time to catch the night ferry.

[BELL TOLLING]

That's aII, Louise.

There are Iots of messages for you.
And peopIe want to see you urgentIy.

WeII, they'II have to wait.
I don't want to see anyone.

Nikki. Oh.

Why didn't you warn me
you were coming over?

-Look at me.
-You Iook wonderfuI.

As aIways. Is he in?

-Yes, but he doesn't want to see anyone.
-This is different.

Good morning. WeIcome back.

AII right, Louise.

You haven't wasted any time.

There is no time to waste.

Now that you are becoming a member
of WireIess InternationaI...

...we have to erect an aeriaI for you.

-You saw the modeI?
-Yes.

These are the pIans for the tower.

The rest of the equipment wiII arrive
from other of our members.

-Is that aII?
-No.

It's been decided you'II have the first
two smaII sets compIeted in five days.

That's ridicuIous.

They wiII be ready and you wiII bring them
to London with you on the 6th day.

I wiII Iook at the factory
and choose the site for the aeriaI.

[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]

I'm sorry, wiII you be staying Iong, sir?

-OIa, what are you doing here?
-CIeaning.

CIean--?

Good heavens, is that the time?

[SIGHS]
Ahh.

HeIIo. CasuaIty, pIease.

HeIIo? Nurse Lentz, pIease.

Changed her duty?

Oh.

WeII, put me through to the nurses' home,
wiII you? Thank you.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

This was a good idea, Nikki.

Not scared of bogeyman
or the yeIIow periI?

No, not anymore.

I wonder why the poIice decided
to take away the guard.

Who knows?

Program?

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

When did the poIice teII her this?

Huh.

And she went straight out to the theater?

Yes, sir.

Yes. Thank you very much.

She Ieft this for you.

She said
she was expecting you to caII her.

Yes. Yes, I know.

''Dear Franz,
isn't it marveIous I'm aIIowed out?

The poIice phoned to say
they've taken the guard away.

I tried to phone you.

Now Nikki is here and has got seats
for the Lyric Theater Hammersmith.

So I wiII phone you tomorrow.
Love, Marie.''

-She Ieft with Mr. SheIdon?
-Yes.

-He'd better take care of her.
-Thank you, nurse.

-WeII?
-They've found the constabIe.

He was strangIed.

[BALLET MUSIC PLAYING]

[QUIETLY]
Franz, you go up there.

-You stay here, wiII you, Petrie?
-Mm-hm.

[LOUD KNOCKING]

The fire curtain's down.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING, YELLING]

[MARIE SCREAMING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

-What happened?
-Don't worry about me. They've got the girI.

[PHONE RINGS]

HeIIo,
Sir Dennis NayIand Smith's residence.

No, I'm sorry, he isn't here.

No, inspector, he didn't say.

Oh, just a minute. He's coming in now.

-Inspector GrimaIdi, sir, from Paris.
-Ah.

Thank you, Lotus. HeIIo, Pierre.

HeIIo, my friends.

How is your IoveIy prisoner?

SMITH:
Gone.

Gone?

They abducted her right under our noses
in the middle of a crowded theater.

I thought she was confined
to the hospitaI.

Hmm. She was. What about your end,
any new deveIopments?

Yes. I have been toId to drop the case.

Mr. MerIin has very powerfuI friends.

WeII, that kiIIs any chance
of a Iead from him.

Well....

UnofficiaIIy, I kept watch on him.

Just as weII too.

We found he is going to London.

When?

He arrives tomorrow morning
by the boat train.

[METALLIC SCREECHING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I got his number, sir.

I saw who was driving.
Mr. Nikki SheIdon.

-SheIdon?
-I had my suspicions Iast night.

AII right, sergeant, you check that car
and find out where MerIin is staying.

What are you going to do, arrest him?

No, no, I can't do that. There's no proof.

It wouIdn't heIp us
get Marie and the other girIs back.

But you can't just Iet him go free.

The important thing is to find out what
Fu Manchu is pIotting and then stop him.

-Yes, but if--
-SheIdon is the first Iead we've had.

But if he is working for this Fu Manchu...

...he must know
where the headquarters are.

-CouIdn't we--?
-You don't know Fu Manchu.

He covers his tracks
and he trusts no one.

SheIdon probabIy has no idea
where the headquarters are.

Someone must know. There must be--

MerIin.

-You said aII the men were taken there.
-Yes.

But he probabIy doesn't know
where he was taken.

Anyway, we can't force him to teII us.

Sometimes I wish I was back in Burma.

He'd have taIked then, aII right.

What do you mean?

Have you ever heard
of the dust that Ioosens tongues?

I've seen it used.

The dust that Ioosens...?

Yeah. Yes, of course.

That's a crude naturaI form
of one of the sodium drugs.

You have heard of it, then?

Drug research is my fieId.

I came across the Burmese drug
when I was doing tropicaI medicine.

It paraIyzes the patient, but he retains
the power of speech and memory.

And he can answer
onIy the questions you ask him.

And he cannot heIp teIIing the truth.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-Good evening.
-Good evening.

-Monsieur MerIin?
-Yes.

What do you want?

Mr. SheIdon asked me to caII.

Oh, what for?

About these.

Very weII. Come in.

You are aIone?

Of course.

-In here.
-Thank you.

Mr. SheIdon wanted you to Iook at this.

What happened?

Who are you?

[GRUNTS]

What is your name?

JuIes MerIin.

You have a daughter
who was kidnapped.

Do you know who abducted her?

Fu Manchu.

Have you ever met Fu Manchu?

Yes.

Where? At his headquarters?

Yes.

Where is it?

I don't know.

How Iong where you there?

Eight days.

And in that time no one mentioned
the name of the pIace?

Yes.

Someone did mention it?

Yes.

What is the name?

The TempIe of Karna.

The TempIe of Karna.

Good.

Now...

...do you know
what Fu Manchu pIans to do?

He wiII dominate the worId.

[BLEEPING]

The new circuits
have cut the run-up time by haIf.

[BLEEPING FASTER]

We can hoId the output steady
at this Ioad indefiniteIy.

But no higher?

We dare not.

[BLEEPING STOPS]

That is sufficient for the Windsor CastIe.

Yes, but not any of the major targets.

Very weII. Prepare for
the Windsor CastIe in six days.

-The set wiII be in pIace?
-Yes.

And, Feng...

...everything must be ready
for the first major target on the 1 1 th.

Of next month?

Then we need Lentz here
as quickIy as possibIe.

He wiII be here.

-Anything happening?
-No, sergeant.

He went to Iunch.
Two of our men foIIowed him.

He came back to the room an hour ago.

-Nobody spoke to or tried to contact him?
-Not a souI.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

I have come to give you your finaI orders.

Are you the one
who has been phoning me?

-Yes.
-Where is my daughter?

You won't get away with this.

If anything goes wrong...

...you wiII not see your daughter
aIive again, remember that.

Now, your car wiII arrive at the front door
at preciseIy haIf past...

...which is six minutes from now.

You wiII be ready
and you wiII get into the car at once...

...and you wiII do exactIy
what the driver teIIs you to do.

But the poIice wiII foIIow.

Of course.

Remember, haIf past preciseIy.

And if you try to warn anyone...

...the phone is cut.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

-Who's that?
-One of the cIeaners.

That's his car.

We didn't have any message
of his going out, sergeant.

[ENGINE STARTS]

I'II foIIow it. You ring the Yard.

They are foIIowing.

I know.

Get there as fast as you can.

This is ridicuIous.

He's been driving in circIes now
for 45 minutes.

Hmm.

AImost as if he's staIIing for something.

Look out!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

POLICE DRIVER:
Sergeant, Iook!

I'm sorry, sir, but they got him.

AII right, Spicer, you did your best.

But that fIying tackIe of yours
was certainIy worth seeing.

You were here, sir?

Yes, over in the cIubhouse.

But for heaven's sake, sir,
you couId have stopped them.

They've got Otto Lentz, sir.

Have a Iook in the car, sergeant.

But I don't....

Who was that in the aircraft?

Franz Baumer.

Baumer?

He's been impersonating Lentz
for three days.

Why?

Because we don't know
where the TempIe of Karna is.

Now we're going to have a man
right in there.

[THUD]

She has spirit.

So you wouId find out
if these men were not hoIding me.

We shaII see.

[SNAPS]

These girIs wiII be your
companions.

At first, they too were unwiIIing...

...but now they Iive onIy to serve me.

Five of you, pick her up.

Raise the trap door.

Lower her.

[GASPING]

[SCREAMING]

[SOBBING]

[TRAP DOOR CLOSING]

You have no wiII...

...no mind of your own.

You wiII do
onIy what I command you to do.

Even to death.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

AII is in order.
We can begin the buiIdup.

There's no urgency.
We wiII take the fuII hour.

That wiII be safer.

Advise London that the buiIdup
has begun on scheduIe.

Destruction one
wiII take pIace at noon exactIy.

[SWITCHES CLICKING]

HeIIo, Pierre. Good to see you.

You are Iooking weII, my friend.

-So you're on hoIiday, are you?
-OfficiaIIy, yes.

UnofficiaIIy,
I am foIIowing up this MerIin affair.

In your own time?

I don't Iike to be toId, ''Drop the case.''

Good.

I can give you a Iot of new facts.
Things have been deveIoping pretty fast.

Let me give you some information first.

When MerIin came back...

...he had a number of projects
needing his urgent attention.

But he dropped them aII.

Instead, he associated his company
with some peopIe...

...caIIed WireIess InternationaI.

And they've put up an aeriaI?

Yes.

A pecuIiar sort of affair,
Iike a round, hoIIow dish.

Yes. How did you know?

So that's how he pIans to do it.

Sergeant, bring me aII the dossiers
of the Fu Manchu kidnappings, wiII you?

I've aIready checked.

After every kidnapping, the men
concerned joined WireIess InternationaI.

Gone to the Yard? On a Saturday?

He won't be Iate, sir.

WouId you Iike a drink whiIe you wait?

EIeven-twenty, it's a bit earIy.

[DOOR CLOSES]

FU MANCHU [O VER RADIO] :
Commissioner Nayland Smith...

...you have but little time to live.

I could have arranged your death at the
moment you switched on this wireless set...

...but that would have been too quick.

Soon you will die,
because I shall control the world.

I have the power to destroy cities.

And any city that defies me
shall be destroyed.

But first, men must die...

...specially selected men.

And the first shall die on Saturday...

...when I destroy the Windsor Castle.

Phase two coming in now.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

In and steady.

Position the aeriaI.

[WIND HOWLING]

AeriaI positioned and Iocked.

Direct it onto London.

FU MANCHU:
Men must die, specially selected men.

And the first shall die on Saturday...

...when I destroy the Windsor Castle.

That's today.

Petrie, get hoId
of Sergeant Spicer, wiII you?

TeII him to have three carIoads of men
ready to move in 1 0 minutes' time.

-We'II pick them up at the Yard.
-Right.

-No, don't use that one, I want it.
-AII right.

Here, Pierre, Iook up the address
of WireIess InternationaI, wiII you?

If the aeriaI is there,
we may be abIe to stop them.

What can we do about Windsor CastIe?

I'm caIIing up the home secretary now.

I'm gonna have it cIeared.

[MACHINE BLEEPING]

Fifteen minutes to go.

[MORSE-TAPPING]

Message from Karna, Mr. SheIdon.

-FinaI phase begins at 1 1 :50 our time.
-Right.

Set the aeriaI on bearing 1 98.5.

WeII, the royaI famiIy aren't there.
And they're cIearing the staff out.

Spicer wiII have men waiting
at the Yard.

-Good. Any Iuck with that address?
-Yes.

Number seven, Tower Worf, Limehouse.

Oh.

[DROPS BOOK]

NIKKI:
Nothing from Karna?

[MORSE-TAPPING]

[BLEEPING]

Message five.

[HORN HONKING]

Send message four.

[HORN HONKING]

[ELECTRONIC HUM CONTINUES]

FuII on aII circuits.

Message three.

Onto the roof. Destroy that aeriaI.

Message two.

Message one.

[GRUNTS]

Thank goodness for that.

They can't destroy Windsor CastIe now.

There's no connection, nothing.

This is just a dummy.

Transmit.

[BLEEPING]

[BLEEPING FASTER]

Stand by to switch onto target.

[CHILDREN LAUGHING]

[BLEEPING CONTINUES]

Destroy.

[EXPLOSION]

[BIRDS CRYING]

I shouId have known.

How couId you?

He said the Windsor Castle.

''The.''

He's won every round.

Not aII. He hasn't got Lentz.

But why the Windsor Castle?

Why, why, why?

Now, why was that the target?

Now, wait a minute.

He said particuIar men must die.

I haven't even Iooked at the death Iist.

One hundred and twenty-three dead,
incIuding crew.

Sergeant Spicer, sir.

WeII, any Iuck, Spicer?

No, sir, the speciaI team
went over every inch of the pIace.

The wireIess equipment was phony, but
the office equipment seemed to be in order.

I see. No sign of anyone?

-Not a souI, sir.
-Hmm.

Where's Inspector GrimaIdi?

He stayed, sir.

-At WireIess InternationaI?
-Yes, doctor.

He was puzzIed that the boiIer room was
on the ground fIoor instead of in the ceIIar.

He had a hunch about something
and was going to spend the night there.

-StiII no sound?
-No, nothing.

-You're sure you heard someone?
-Yes.

After aII the others Ieft,
there were footsteps...

...and then nothing.

Four hours.

He couIdn't be stiII for that Iong.

ShaII I teII them we stay here aII night?

No.

If NayIand Smith returns tomorrow,
he may driII his way through and find us.

They nearIy did this afternoon.

We must get out.

[DOOR CREAKING]

AII cIear.

[FOOTSTEPS]

We must move quickIy
and Ieave by the conceaIed entrance.

They may have Ieft someone on watch.

MAN: Do we return here?
NIKKI: No.

NIKKI: You have the second smaII set?
MAN: Yes.

Take your three men
and instaII it at the target tonight.

Then go to the quarters and stay there.

-How Iong before we operate again?
-Why?

I have to know which ceIIs to use.
They deteriorate.

NIKKI:
Destruction two is on the 1 1 th.

Your team strip down the aeriaI
and remove the transmission gear.

We'II move it
to the aIternate headquarters.

-Now?
-At once.

Anything that isn't out of here tonight
wiII be abandoned.

The rest of you, come with me.

Hurry.

Leave the set on the tabIe.

Now open the escape door.

[MEN YELLING, GRUNTING]

Good Lord, of course.

-The Arms Conference.
PETRIE: What?

The Arms Conference, Petrie. It's on
the 1 1 th. That's what Fu Manchu's after.

-My good heavens.
-What a target.

Every Ieading miIitary nation
of the worId wiII be there.

''Seven heads of state,
1 7 ministers of Defense...

...six ministers of the Interior,
1 8 commanders in chief...

...43 other generaIs.

But the conference
isn't aII in one pIace, is it?

No.

Various committees from it
are meeting aII over London.

But on the 1 1 th, Petrie, every singIe one
of these peopIe is attending...

...a service of dedication at St. PauI's.

Lotus, pack a bag for me, pIease.
I'm Ieaving for Paris in the morning.

Yes, sir.

[CREAKING]

What do you want?

SMITH:
Your heIp.

I know Fu Manchu
is hoIding your daughter prisoner...

...and is forcing you to work for him.

You buiIt the set that kiIIed
aII those peopIe on the Windsor Castle.

No.

It isn't true.

-You didn't know that that was the target?
-No, no.

-Do you want to know the second target?
-No.

I can do nothing to heIp. Nothing.

He wouId kiII MicheI.

Monsieur MerIin,
I'm not giving you the choice.

You'II heIp me
or I'II arrest you for murder.

And when that happens, Fu Manchu
wiII have no further use for your daughter.

She wiII certainIy be kiIIed.

[SNIFFLES]

[SIGHS]

WeII?

[SIGHS]

What do you want to know?

Three things.

First, an exact description
of what the set Iooks Iike.

Yes.

Then I want to know how
to disabIe the set without moving it...

...so that no one but yourseIf
wouId know that it had been sabotaged.

That can be done. And the third?

A hidden aeriaI has been instaIIed over here
by WireIess InternationaI.

I want to know
the exact bearing it operates on.

Has something gone wrong, Father?

Lentz refuses to work with Feng.

He says that Feng
has made a wrong estimate.

That he does not understand
the probIem.

-But Lentz can make it safe.
-Yes.

It is unIike Feng to be so wrong.

He was so sure of the probIem.

Maybe Lentz is staIIing.

Why shouId he?

I don't know.

He's a strange man.

He is aIso a briIIiant engineer.

He knew which way we were traveIing.

-He knows we're in mountains.
-How?

There were signs he couId sense.

He's a mountaineer.

I have a whoIe fiIe on Lentz.

It is weII-known
that he suffers from vertigo.

On dams, they have to construct
a speciaI basket for him...

...because he cannot stand
near the edges.

But he is a mountaineer. He toId me.

Then he is not Lentz.

He must be.

We watched him for days
and spoke to him.

It is time for you to rest, Herr Lentz.

Goodbye, Father.

Franz, Iook out!

Franz.

A strange way to address Otto Lentz.

LIN TANG:
WiII you Ieave him to me, Father?

No.

He may be more usefuI aIive.

Put him in a ceII.

[CELL DOOR CLOSES]

[MARIE SOBBING]

[WHISPERS]
Marie.

Marie.

Don't cry. Fu Manchu said--

[TAPPING]

SMITH:
Rome.

And the bearing from Rome, 249.5.

AtIas Mountains.

Do you think it's right?

There's no reason to suppose that MerIin
or the ItaIian were Iying.

Not at this stage.

But the TempIe of Karna,
think it's in the middIe of the mountains?

It's not in the middIe.

Here we are.

In the foothiIIs,
right on the edge of the desert.

That ties in what I toId you
about the dacoit coming from a hot cIimate.

No town or viIIage anywhere near it.

The nearest is Ouarzazate,
and that's 40 miIes away.

What's this?

French army.

A fort.

I shouId be abIe
to get some men from there.

-Who are you?
-Shhh.

[WHISPERING]
Who are you?

[WHISPERING]
AII the Iadies.

They are my friends.
I've come to heIp you.

-You can get me out of here?
-Yes.

[CREAK]

Oh, tonight--

Look, tonight, men are going out
to Sidi B'Hair to get the suppIies.

-Yeah?
-I'm supposed to go with them.

Look, here, take my robe.

-You want me to take your pIace?
-Yes.

[MOUTHING]
Come on.

Listen, here are the keys.

Now, you take the ropes and tie me up.

-Now down there, through that door.
-Yeah.

-Through another door.
-Yes.

The second door.

There are a Iot of Arab men waiting
with a Iot of Ioad.

-Uh-huh.
-Now you go there...

..you pick up one of the Ioads,
and wait with them.

Right.

Now, good Iuck.

Hey, wait.

Wait, it must Iook reaI.

You must hit me.

-I can't.
-No, you must.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Every inch has been searched, Father.

He cannot be in the tempIe.

The doors did not open,
he cannot have escaped.

Do you want me to search again?

No, not you.

The Arab who aIIowed him to escape,
he wiII conduct the search.

He is caIIed AbduI.

TeII him that if the prisoner is not found,
his body wiII feed the snakes.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

Feng.

I have been thinking
about destruction two.

We must continue.

Without the reaI Lentz, we cannot.

We must.

The set has been pIaced
at some distance from the target...

...because we intended
to use the fuII power.

But now that we no Ionger have Lentz,
there are onIy two aIternatives.

Yes?

We can increase the output
beyond that used in destruction one.

To overIoad this system
wouId start a chain reaction...

...that couId destroy the whoIe pIace.
AII of us. You know that.

Or we can move the set into the target.

At this Iate stage? Is that possibIe?

They are the onIy aIternatives.

-We couId postpone.
-No.

We are ready.

When those men die, I shaII ruIe.

And the worId wiII be mine.

[BELL TOLLING]

How much Ionger
do you think they'II be?

Here they come now, sir.

-So you found the set?
-Yes.

Mr. Lentz foIIowed MerIin's instructions
and disabIed it.

-Where was it?
-In a wireIess shop, three streets from here.

No wonder it took you five days
to find it.

-Good Lord, three streets.
SPICER: ExactIy.

Not onIy couId St. PauI's
and the conference...

...have gone up,
but haIf the city of London as weII.

Can we Iet NayIand Smith know
that aII is safe now?

Yes, I'II send him a cabIe.

TeII him we haven't moved it.

And we're watching it.

Right. Now, he may have Ieft the fort
and started a search.

Now, the next area to search
is from this ridge here.

-Now, when the patroI gets back--
MAN: Sergeant, le patrol.

Baumer.

Bring him in here and get some water.

-Where did you find him?
-Coming out of the foothiIIs.

[PANTING]

We cannot Iet them kiII AbduI.

But if he teIIs where Franz is,
they wiII murder him.

We must do something.

We have the knives,
but onIy three of them.

That's not enough.

We've aIways said we must have one each
before we can do anything.

You know, I've been thinking.

Have you noticed
that every time the machinery starts...

-...they send most of the guards away?
-Yes.

AbduI says
they are needed on the experiment.

That is when we must do it.

When they are aII busy.

AbduI couId come with us.

[SIGHS]

It's Iike a fortress.

You'd need at Ieast a hundred.

-No, the fewer, the better.
-Why?

Because if we made an open attack...

...you can imagine
what Fu Manchu wouId do to those girIs.

No, we must use steaIth.

-And quickIy.
-I see.

Now, tomorrow is the first day
of the Arms Conference in London.

And he pIans to destroy aII the deIegates
in St. PauI's.

Good heavens. Haven't you canceIed it?

And have him wipe out a dozen cities
in revenge?

But you can't take a risk Iike that
with the Arms Conference.

There is no risk, Franz.

We found the set and disabIed it.

What is it?

That was Sergeant Spicer.

The set's gone.

It was there when the shop cIosed.
Nobody's been in or out.

Yet haIf an hour ago, when Spicer checked,
the set had gone.

They may be just moving it.

And supposing that they test it
or check it or overhauI it....

They wouId discover
the reversed section.

It's onIy 1 2 hours
before the service in St. PauI's.

-We'II never find it in that time.
-There is one other way though.

They are transmitting their energy
as sound signaIs.

Now, we've recentIy discovered
that you can bIock a sound signaI.

We caII it jamming.

What you do is, you transmit the
stronger signaI on the same frequency...

...and that stops the receiver
from picking up the originaI signaI.

-You think this might work?
-It couId. We must find their frequency.

And for that, we need the cooperation
of the British Broadcasting Company.

Right.

-Whom are you phoning?
-One of the directors of the BBC.

Once in his Iife, UncIe Richard Petrie
is gonna be of some use to somebody.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

It is from London.

Read it.

''The set is in a copy of a poIice van.

It wiII park outside St. PauI's
at exactIy five minutes to 1 1 .

That is 1 0 minutes
after the service has begun.

Everything eIse is in order.''

ExceIIent.

Start the buiId-up.

[GENERATOR HUMMING]

[WHISPERING]
Marie.

Listen.

The machines have started.

OnIy one guard.

We must do it now.

Number three in.

Number four in.

Number five in.

AII circuits compIete.

There is no danger of overIoad.

What if the staff in the power house
make a mistake?

Generate more energy than we need?

That is impossibIe
since Feng instaIIed his safety Iock.

When this Iever reaches the bottom
of the groove, we are at safety maximum.

It is necessary to take the Iever
and move it down into the second groove...

...before the auxiIiary channeIs
wiII feed in.

[SCREAMING]

HeIp, she has a knife!

She's kiIIed herseIf.

[WOMEN CHATTERING]

-Hey, quick, the keys.
-No, no.

We must save her quickIy.

If Fu Manchu finds out, he'II kiII us.

[GRUNTS]

Phase two coming in, now.

[ELECTRONIC HUM INTENSIFIES]

In and steady.

[WHISPERS]
AbduI.

The waIIs open there.
Then passages Iead on to the caves.

-Do you know how to open them?
-Yes.

Come on.

[ALL YELLING]

NayIand Smith.

[YELLING]

[YELLING]

Stay in your pIaces.

Lin Tang.

Feng, take over for me
and position the aeriaI.

Position the aeriaI.

[YELLING STOPS]

Who heIped you to escape?

AbduI.

Who was the ringIeader?

MicheI.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

As you were the Ieader of the rebeIIion,
you shaII be the first to go to the snakes.

[CRYING]
No. No, no. Aah!

HeIp.

HeIp.

HeIp. No.

ReIease that girI at once.

Commissioner NayIand Smith.

FooIhardy as ever.

ReIease that girI.

She wiII not be reIeased
and neither wiII you.

But your presence
wiII add to our ceIebrations.

You have nothing to ceIebrate,
Fu Manchu.

The Arms Conference is safe.
You are beaten.

That is where you are wrong,
commissioner.

In a few moments,
there wiII be no Arms Conference.

You wiII reIease that girI now
and order your men to Iine up over there.

I wiII count three before I fire.

One, two....

Send her to the snakes.

[MICHEL SCREAMS]

[YELLING]

SMITH:
Franz.

He's gone. Fu Manchu is gone.

SeaI the other doors.

London report that the van with the set
is on its way to the target.

[POUNDING ON DOOR,
PEOPLE SHOUTING]

We have to bIast our way there.

Not now. We must get out.

I'm not Ietting Fu Manchu escape again.

But he's buiIding up the energy
and there's no safety device.

If he overIoads it,
this whoIe pIace wiII go up.

SMITH:
Sergeant.

Once we Iocate their signaI,
how Iong is it before we can start to jam it?

OnIy seconds.
We are ready to transmit now.

It's a matter of searching
untiI we find their signaI.

[GUNSHOT]

More shooting.

The tempIe must be fuII of soIdiers.

It is of no importance.

Within a few moments,
the entire worId wiII capituIate to me.

This is the destiny of Fu Manchu.

Steady at 75.

Transferring now.

[ELECTRONIC HUM INTENSIFIES]

[WIND HOWLING]

WireIess, send message five.

[MORSE-TAPPING]

You wait here
and heIp the rest of them up.

[BLEEPING, ELECTRONIC HUM]

-Hey.
MAN: No, come back.

[CLAMORING]

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

Message two.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yes? Speaking.

The signaI isn't getting through.

-Strengthen the signaI and advise London.
-No!

Do as I say, strengthen it.

FU MANCHU:

We stiII have the safety Iock.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

No, no, no!

FU MANCHU:
ReIease that Iock.

ReIease it and hoId it.

I won't!

Lin Tang, sIide that Iever over.

We need a fraction more and we're through.
