Do you know where the midnight club is?

No sir.

Do you think if you've used all your mind you could find it?

Oh yes sir, if I had a map of London sir.

I know where the midnight club is sir.

Oh that's good. Have you got evening clothes?

I have a complete gentleman's wardrobe sir.

Yes, I see you have.

Well go to the midnight club.

Get a table there where you can watch a special group,

consisting of Sir Colin Grant, Arthur Bradley,

George Rubens and a girl named Iris Whitney.

Yes sir.

I want to know exactly what they do every minute of the evening.

And I want a report of their doings on my desk in the morning.

Yes sir.

That's all.

Thanks sir.

Well, are you satisfied?

I suppose I have to be.

My dear fellow, it's not that I doubt your ability,

but these jewel robberies are, well they've got to be stopped.

- That's all. - I know.

And I know definitely that Colin Grant is the head of that gang.

I can't prove it, yet.

There isn't a single scrap of evidence against him.

Well, do your best old chap.

Oh I'll do better than that.

Oh tell me that again.

Scotland Yard has put two men in the club to watch us.

Marvelous.

Astounding.

I mean to say very good.

God, I say it's perfect.

I have a right to commission a hope about this.

You'd be dreadfully disappointed if we don't object to it.

I'm glad to start. Try to get everything arranged.

All right.

Iris, I don't quite like the look of this.

Police commissioner hopes no fool.

For three years he's been after us, now he's come out into the open.

Why don't you go to the parish and stay there.

Colin, darling, I'm one of you.

Don't try to protect me just because I'm a woman.

A woman I'm in love with.

I'm terribly fond of you.

That's all.

Thanks just the same old chap.

Thank you.

Stand up straight, my dear.

Hold your tummy in.

That's better.

Well, I must say, Miss Whitney,

you're the first person who ever found any fault with my stomach.

I'm not finding fault.

I just don't want to see so much of it.

And do stop giggling.

I never giggle.

So I see.

Well, what do you think?

Turn around, my dear, and let me see.

It's very good.

It's very good.

Wait a minute, you've got your ring on the wrong hand.

Oh, so it is.

That giggle of hers will drive me crazy.

That's not my expression at all.

It's far too sulky.

Come along, smile.

Smile the way I do.

That's better.

Now say something.

What do you want me to say?

My good man, for two months I've been training you to talk like me.

Of course, I don't expect you to have my inimitable charm.

But your voice must be like mine and your diction.

Now repeat that.

My good man, for two months I've been training you to talk like me.

Of course, I don't expect you to have my inimitable charm.

It's very good.

Where's Bradley's double?

Here I am, so sorry I'm late.

That's all right. Now listen, you three.

Scott and the others put two detectives in there to watch us.

I want you to be particularly cautious tonight when you get the signal to change.

All right, into the club with you.

Come along Colin, the car's waiting.

I know.

9.32.

All right, put that down.

Suspected parties entered midnight club at 9.32 p.m.

This here is Mr. Roberts, Inspector.

Why, what's the matter, Inspector?

This officer came to my home and said my shop had been robbed.

That's what we have to find out. Open it up.

We'll soon see.

Why, yes, yes, yes, of course.

Is anything missing?

Everything seems quite as usual.

These are only the small things.

The valuable piece, of course, I keep them the safe.

Well, you'd better open it up. I have my report to make.

Open it?

If nothing's tampered with, the alarm will ring.

Oh, yes, of course, yes.

My word, something must be wrong.

Well, everything seems to be all right.

I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Roberts.

No, my dear Mr. Roberts, not an inspector of police, just a collector.

Oh, my dear Mr. Roberts, this is very poor stuff.

Ah, this is better, a Brunson Bittiara.

An excellent piece.

- But that was... - Give her my apologies and thanks.

Good night, Mr. Roberts, and thanks.

- How did you get on? - Perfectly.

You like that?

Oh,

I think it would fit better on that one, after you've had the set in change.

Thank you.

This is very beautiful, Mr. Grant.

I'm glad you like it.

I see our two friends from Scotland Yard are still there.

And so are we.

That double of mine looks more like me than I do myself.

And the man who's made up for you...

I'm quite sure my mother thought there was only one of me.

There seems to be two.

They're certainly taking their time tonight.

Let's have another bottle of champagne.

All right.

Waiter.

Well, you're out of luck.

I think I'll make that phone call.

We'll dance.

Here you are, sir.

I was just about to light it.

If I leave here, I'm going dancing, if I can ever get my feet straight.

I'm going home.

Nothing but complaints about our expense account.

What do they expect us to drink? Water?

Be very careful, sir.

Right on.

The flower girl gave me this.

I hope you're not getting me a bad reputation.

Everything all right?

Everything except the way Benny dances.

He might as well get on my feet and ride.

They wouldn't miss a hard on your feet.

That's enough, Waiter.

Everything according to plan.

We got more than we bargained for.

- The police? - No.

Lady Brunson, Miss Tiara.

Very poor joke, Braddock.

A very rich one, I should call it.

It'll fetch 15,000.

Marvelous!

Astounding!

I mean to say very good.

Nice to see you, Reuben.

- Champagne, Iris? - No, no thanks.

Why so worried tonight, Reuben?

Those detectives are getting on my nerves.

They've been here all night.

So have we.

The chief.

Hide...

Look around.

See if you recognize anybody here.

No.

I see Mr. Roberts is returning our visit.

Roberts in Scotland Yard.

He seems dreadfully upset about something.

Here they are.

Both of them, sitting at that table.

I don't see.

Really? What's the trouble?

I have a complaint against you from Mr. Roberts here.

His jewelry shop was burgled this evening.

Burgled?

Burgled.

Burgled?

Yes, burgled.

And you're the man who did it.

I'm afraid, Grant, you'll have to come along with me.

Oh, don't be upset. You're mistaken.

I am not mistaken.

You made me open my safe and you're the man who pretended to be a policeman.

Bradley, I'm surprised at you.

How was I?

Did you see any striped elephants at the same time, Mr. Roberts?

But these are the main commissioners.

Why don't you arrest them?

Now, just a minute, my dear Mr. Roberts.

Commissioner, we've been here in the club the whole evening.

But commissioner...

It's easy to find out about that.

I've had two of my men here since 8 o'clock.

Really?

Really?

Yes, sir.

When did these two gentlemen...

come into the club?

At 9.32 pm, sir.

And when did they leave it again?

Leave, sir?

They didn't leave.

They're still here.

But they couldn't have been here.

They were at my shop and they robbed me.

Quite impossible.

They've been here all evening.

- Are you quite sure of that? - Yes, sir.

Commissioner Hope feels this is very important.

You're quite sure that neither I nor that gentleman have been away all evening?

Of course, I'm sure.

- Do you swear to that? - Certainly, sir.

You two men wait outside with Mr. Roberts?

Yes, sir.

I say, look here.

Here, I think you've been drinking.

You haven't.

Sorry, old man.

Too bad we can't turn out to be crooks.

Well, that'll be something to look forward to.

That I, my friend, shall become clean?

Yes.

Oh, it's not impossible.

My dear fellow, I give you my word about her, we won't change our method of living ever.

Shall we shake hands on that?

That's all I want.

Just go on as you have been in the past.

I'll be quite satisfied with that.

Is it a promise?

I promise.

Good night, old man.

Good night.

Take a third turn to the right.

What are you doing in this car?

That's the corner.

How dare you...

There you are.

Well...

We stop there.

This is where I live.

Not interested.

Get out.

Suppose I call for help?

Yeah.

Maybe you'd get a cop.

Get out.

All right, let's have him.

Have what?

The ice.

Ice?

Diamonds, gorgeous.

Oh, I see. You're a thief.

You certainly look like one.

Come on, gimme.

I suppose I must.

You'll find a gold cigarette cake and a little money in there.

Now may I go, please?

You wouldn't kid me, would you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

No.

Come on, dig for him, sister.

Keep your hands off me.

You know, you're good looking.

Except for that run in your stocking.

You're just a cheap crook.

No, the best in the profession.

Wait a minute.

You forgot your dress.

You wouldn't want to compromise me, would you?

You know, I thought she was gonna bite me when I told her she had a run in her stocking.

Cheap? I'll say she ain't.

She's a swell dish.

Ah, what do you know about women?

Colin, this was the most humiliating thing that ever happened to me.

You'll have to find that gentleman.

Gentlemen?

Now, don't upset yourself.

They're back.

All right, Benny.

All right.

Say, what makes a girl mad when she's got a run in her stocking?

- What? - Oh, skip it.

It's probably one of Miss Whitney's friends.

Evidently, I'm supposed to know him.

I should probably put my foot in.

Mr. France.

Hello, gorgeous.

You still gonna keep on hi-hatting me?

Of course not. I didn't see you.

When did you get here?

Just now.

You know, you get around faster than anybody I ever saw.

Who's the boyfriend?

Mr. Kranz?

Oh.

Jealous?

No.

Just interested.

I hope we get together again.

We haven't seen half enough of each other.

One, sir?

Yes.

The mom is very good, sir.

We have very nice moulanger, sir.

Very nice.

I think so.

Swell.

Bring me some scotch.

Colin, darling.

Edna.

Colin, I haven't seen you for ages, dear.

I know, I've been most frightfully busy.

Evenings, too?

Yes, yes.

Mostly an evening.

You know, Miss Whitney, Lady Barrett-Smythe.

- How do you do? - Ciao.

Colin, I simply must see you.

I've got two perfectly new gorgeous scandals.

Marvelous. I'll come tomorrow night.

Good. I'll have nothing on then.

Well, I'll come just the same.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Shocking...

It will be quite informal.

Well, you needn't even wear your jewels.

Why, don't you like my jewels?

I like them, Edna, but you really oughtn't to wear them like this.

They're thieves all over the place.

I hope you're taking care of them.

Oh, I have a perfectly thrilling safe in my library.

Nobody can even find it, let alone rob it.

Well, dinner tomorrow night at eight.

Splendid.

Goodbye Miss Whitney.

I've enjoyed our little chat so much.

Come on, will you?

Not bad if she loses those jewels.

I have a feeling she will.

Alice, my child, you're late.

How did it go, Alice?

It didn't.

Why?

- She was robbed. - Robbed?

Yes.

You tell them about it, Alice.

What's up?

There he is over there, sitting alone.

Do you think we should invite him up here to join us?

By all means.

I think we should, yes.

Yes, I think so.

- Waiter... - Yes, sir.

Give my compliments to that gentleman sitting alone over there

and ask him to come up here, please.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

It's a grand compliment, sir.

Where would you join us?

Thanks.

This is very nice of you.

Won't you sit down, Mr. Mason?

Nick Mason, I'm an American.

Oh, not really.

Sure.

An American thief.

Yeah, how did you guess it?

You know Mr. Bradley?

Mr. Reuven?

I think you've met Miss Whitney before.

Well, I've never been introduced to her.

Glad to meet you, Miss Whitney.

Miss Whitney tells me you robbed her this evening.

You mean these?

Yes.

I think you better give them back, sir.

I would, but for one thing,

I promised my dear mother never to give anything back.

It's very amusing.

Suppose we... Suppose nothing.

If you want them, why don't you call the police?

We don't need the police.

You're scaring me to death.

Listen, you cries for Lucas.

I know all about you.

You better stick around your clement play at being masterminds.

I'm over here on business and I don't like being bothered.

And that goes for you too, unconscious.

Good night, gorgeous.

Here's your man.

Let go. I ain't gonna run away.

You jolly well ain't.

Here's your man, sir.

Very good.

I'll look after him now.

Yes, sir.

- Well, how did it work? - Great.

The Whitney girl lifted these tonight.

And she gave them to you?

Well, I got them.

How on earth did you get her to give them to you?

I persuaded her.

Then like you told me, I went around the club and met the rest of them.

I see.

Did you tell them that you were an American crook?

I didn't have to.

They took one look at my pan.

Well, you certainly do not look like a detective.

A lot of birds in America made the same mistake.

I see.

Your face was very fortune.

Yeah.

It's all right.

Say, Chief, why don't you get them down here and have a talk with them?

You can't do that.

Why not?

These are important people of social position.

The only way we can do anything is to catch them red-handed.

That's why I sent to America for you.

I was coming anyhow.

Yes, there's somebody over here smuggling a lot of unsaid stuff into my country.

You know, big stuff.

And if it's that gang, I gotta find out that too.

Well, you've made a good start.

I've been thinking if I could beat them to a couple of jobs,

and raise the daylights out of them, maybe they think I was somebody.

Yes.

That's the idea.

You make them take you into their gang in self-protection.

Okay, Chief. I'll do that little thing.

I'll be seeing you.

Here's the key of the servants' entrance.

Give me 20 minutes to start.

You study the map of the house?

- Yes. - Very good.

The library in 20 minutes.

I'll leave the safe door slightly open. Then get away as quick as you can.

I understand.

All right, Bradley.

- Well? - Marvelous.

It would take a British shrewd burglar to find that safe.

Sounds like a challenge. You'd better be careful.

Would you like to see all, my dearest?

Yes, it's a pleasure. I've been looking forward to.

Dinner is served, your ladyship.

Very well, Carstairs.

- We'll look at them after dinner. - Splendid.

Allow me...

Well, what do you think of it?

I think it's very interesting.

I don't know how you thought of it.

Practically burglar-proof, eh?

Well, practically.

You know, I'm most rightly susceptible to colds.

I wonder whether you mind if I close that door.

Oh, of course. Anything, darling.

As the Spanish say, my house is yours.

She actually made her husband take the young man to his own tailor.

You don't say so.

I don't think it's clothes, the cart.

I think it's the man inside the clothes that matters.

If you know what I mean.

Yes, I'm afraid I do.

Would you like to take a drive?

Ride is the word.

My word!

Of course you won't believe me,

but I've never carried one cent of burglar insurance for my jewelry.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I beg pardon, your ladyship.

Carstairs, I told you to serve coffee in the library.

I suppose I should have done so, but I've never had the least bit of trouble.

And with this new burglar-proof safe of mine,

the danger of my being robbed is absolutely limiting.

Of course, certainly.

- I beg pardon, your ladyship. - Carstairs...

Eventually I knew that I should have to have one, and so I got the very best.

There was a young man came pestering me every day for my insurance.

But as I said to him, with my burglar-proof safe, why should I?

I'm sorry, your ladyship, but I have to inform you that your safe has been robbed.

Carstairs, impossible!

How late did you hear him?

His safe has been robbed.

Carstairs, have you been drinking?

No, your ladyship.

Call my secretary... Call my maid.

No, you let me attend to this.

I send for Commissioner Hope, it's a great plan of mine.

The phone is in there.

Oh, Colin, I must get my jewels back.

I must catch those thieves.

Colin!

Colin!

Police!

My jewels!

My jewels!

Come on, let's have them.

Have what?

The ice.

Ice?

Diamonds, gorgeous.

I haven't got any...

I don't know what you're talking about.

No.

No.

You wouldn't kid me, would you?

Come on, dig for them.

I tell you, I haven't got anything.

You'd be very good looking, except for that run in your stocking.

What are the police for?

I understand they had their uses.

Why don't you get me back my jewels?

Why don't you do something instead of standing there asking a lot of silly questions?

But, my dear lady...

I think you should answer the Commissioner's questions.

I send for a detective.

I send for a detective.

And what do I get?

A lot of silly questions.

Yes, but if you don't answer my questions, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

You don't seem able to do much, anyhow.

And what about fingerprints?

There are always fingerprints when the safe is robbed.

And what about clues?

What clues have you discovered?

Now, my dear lady...

Unfortunately there aren't any clues, are there Commissioner?

I'm not so sure about that.

I think he suspects me.

Oh, well, that's idiotic.

That's plainly idiotic.

Colin, darling, I just as soon think of suspecting myself.

Well, the police must suspect someone.

And here I am.

Well, we'll soon settle all that.

And then you can turn your mind to something important.

Colin was here the whole evening.

And during that time, he was never out of my sight for one moment.

Thank goodness.

Really, my dear fellow, if you think I had anything to do with it,

why don't you have me searched?

Search me yourself.

And while you're about it, you might as well search me.

Heaven forbid.

Sir?

If you'll give me a list of your jewels and their values...

I'm quite sure Commissioner Hope will do everything

humanly possible to bring them back.

He really is a most efficient person, aren't you, Commissioner?

Efficient enough.

Oh, then you really have a clue.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, there are several.

You see, my dear, you must have implicit faith... in hope.

Oh.

That's good.

That's very good.

Faith and hope.

Now, darling, if you take my advice, you'll sit down and make a list.

Tell the Commissioner everything that happened.

- You think I'd better? - I'm quite sure you have.

Oh, very well.

Well, good night, Commissioner.

If there's anything I can do, you'll call on me, won't you?

Yes.

I was planning to call on you, Grant.

Why splendid!

Till then, good night.

- You're going, Colin. - Good night, my darling.

Oh, good night.

Good night, Colin.

Of course, this would happen tonight.

Just when I planned so many things.

Do you mind if I go now?

It's past my bedtime.

Sit down and wait.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You seem to be running into each other lately.

Yeah.

You're a pretty smart fellow, aren't you?

Oh, I get around.

How did you know we were going to visit Lady Barrett-Smythe tonight?

Do I have to tell you everything?

Colin, I'm sure he robbed her safe.

And beat you to it.

And we picked him up the minute he left the house.

And we searched him and found nothing.

Well, aren't you going to do anything?

It's the second time he's robbed us.

Yes, I know.

And that's just the beginning.

From now on, you're going to stick your faces in a lot of empty safes.

You seem very sure, mister.

Yes.

And I don't mind telling you I got those jewels.

Did you really?

And I'm going to get a lot of more jewels.

Unless we team up.

We don't want any partners.

Just a minute, Rubens.

You know, I think a young man as clever as you might be very useful to us.

I'm glad you think so.

Would you like to join us?

If you need me.

I think you might fit into our plans very well.

There's one thing for you to remember.

I run things.

You understand?

Yeah.

All right.

You're on.

Okay, what do I do now?

You telephone me tomorrow morning and I'll tell you.

Good night.

Wait a minute, Grant. We work together from tomorrow on.

Get me?

What I got tonight, I keep.

Anything you've got tonight, you can keep.

Good night.

Good night.

Aren't you rather hasty asking him to come in with us?

Colin, what does all this mean?

Why did you say he could keep what he got tonight?

Because he didn't get anything tonight.

What?

Do you know what he did?

He put all this stuff in a little box, addressed it to himself

and put it on the whole table to go out with the outgoing mayor.

Yes, he's a smart fellow.

I took the stuff and sent the empty box to him.

Oh, I'd like to see his face when he gets it.

We will.

We'll call on him tomorrow afternoon.

Marvelous...

Astounding.

You mean to say very good.

Oh, come in, Commissioner.

What's the matter?

Whiskey and soda, quick.

Yes, right over there.

You look like you've been hit by a truck.

Worse, I've been talking to Lady Barrett-Smythe for years and years.

She's been robbed.

Yes, I know.

You know? How?

I did it.

You did it?

Why?

You told me to.

Get into the club.

You mean you got in with Grant and the rest of them?

Sure.

Nice crowd.

- What did you find out? - Not enough.

I still got to find out what they're doing with those jewels.

Oh, they're here early.

Friends?

- Club members. - Oh.

Listen, Commissioner, you better go out the back way.

I wouldn't want them to see you here.

And will you give me Lady Barrett-Smythe's jewels so that I can shut her up?

I'll have them at your office within an hour.

I got a lot to tell you about that.

All right.

Ah, club members.

Good afternoon, Miss Whitney.

- Hiya, Grant. - How are you?

- Bradley... - How are you, Mason?

Rubens...

Well, well, this looks like the start of a big party.

I just made some pretzel benders.

Pretzel benders?

Cocktails, brother Rubens.

Make yourselves all at home, folks. I'll be right back.

Colin, you're a fool to take him in with us.

I thought we trashed all that out last night.

You trashed it out. I never agreed.

We were getting along all right before, and we can do just as well on the other jobs we plan.

You weren't so successful yourself the other night, you know.

I'd rather gather you don't like him.

No, I don't like him.

You're breaking my heart.

Listen, sister, let's get this straight.

You don't like me, and I'm beginning to think that you're a pretty fancy type of poison.

I didn't sign up with this outfit to sing love songs.

- That's business with me. - Why you...

You can save the last word till later.

Excuse me, Mr. Myston.

This just come for you, and I brought it up at once in case it was important.

Thank you, sir... Thank you.

Remember?

You said what I got last night I keep.

Of course you can.

That's okay, then.

Lady Barrett-Smythe jewels.

Very good.

Excellent.

Marvelous.

Stupendous.

Nuts.

An American expression, I believe you.

Okay, chief.

What do I do now?

I've been thinking about that.

I've got great plans for you, my boy.

Next week, the Duchess of Carlsbad is giving a ball,

and she'll be wearing the famous Carlsbad emerald.

Do you think you can get it for us?

- I can get anything. - Great.

I'll fix an invitation for you.

And I'll get the emerald.

Of course, if you want any help, you can count on us.

I'll need Miss Whitney. I'll be here for a dancing partner.

Thank you. I'd rather take cyanide.

You can take that afterwards.

I won't go.

No, my dear Iris.

I tell you, I am not going.

How's the weather in your part of the world?

The frozen north. Comfortable?

At this distance, yes.

I'll try to arrange it, we dance as far apart.

Pardon me, young man. What are you doing here?

Oh, forget it.

Are you coming out, or do I have to carry out?

I can walk.

Did you ever have such impudence?

It's a swell party.

I'm glad you came out in time to see some of it.

Oh, I get it.

Look, detectives and everything.

It's not bad, is it?

There's that old dragon over there.

Delighted to see you.

Thank you.

It seems a shame to waste that lovely jewel on such a note.

Don't worry, she won't have it long.

The next dance.

You know, I can't make you up.

Why?

I don't know whether you're going to take a sock at me or be pleasant.

I've been pretty consistent up to now, haven't I?

No.

You were friendly that night in the club.

When was that?

When I met you in the foyer.

I met you in the foyer?

Yeah, just before I came to your table.

Must have been my double.

Double?

Yes, you see, whenever the club goes out on the job,

we have doubles taking our places at the table.

Well, that's the smoothest alibi yet.

Iris, how did you get into this racket?

Well, you see, I hadn't any money.

I wanted excitement and adventure.

I wanted to do things.

Did you ever try working?

This is my work.

It's got danger.

It keeps you alive and on your toes.

And in the end, it puts you in jail.

Why don't you get out of it?

Well, what about you? You're in it.

Oh, it's different with me.

What are you trying to do?

Reform me before it's too late?

- No, but... - We've got work to do.

Let's work.

Okay.

I think we should all voluntarily submit to a search.

Looks like you're going to spend another half hour in the ladies' room.

Sorry.

That's not an emerald.

May I go now?

Certainly Miss.

It didn't take you as long this time.

What an exhibition. You should have come in again.

No, thanks.

Wait at the car.

Comfortable?

At this distance, yes.

This is a very good job.

I thought so myself.

- Will you follow? - No.

What do you think it's worth, Colin?

Twenty thousand pounds at least.

Come along.

I've got something very in to show you.

What's this?

That's another little trick of ours.

Nishi... There you are.

Procedure number one.

Procedure number two.

Sunk without a trace.

But where does the vase business get you?

They go to America.

They pay very well for the antiques we send them.

Oh, I see.

Do you like it?

Swell.

If my dear friend Commissioner Hope could only see that.

Where does this lead to?

Colin, we're going into the club. Will you come along?

No, I'll join you later.

Coffee.

I've been thinking about what you said on the balcony.

Think about it some more.

I can't desert my friends.

They're not your friends.

Are you?

Sure.

Like me very much?

Yeah, you're all right.

Thanks for the compliment.

I mean it.

I'm nuts about you.

Well, how about it?

Okay, chief.

Then I'm boss.

Listen, I want you to do me a favor.

After we had this dance, I want you to go home and stay there.

Well, I never go home this early.

What shall I say to Colin and the others?

That's it.

I don't want you to tell them nothing.

Just sneak home and I'll see you in the morning and tell you all about it.

Well, it seems such a funny thing to do.

There's a lot of funny things happening.

Please do it for me.

Hitting the hay won't hurt you.

Hitting the hay?

I wish you understood English.

Sleep, gorgeous.

Will you do it for me?

All right, let's dance.

Excuse me.

I say, Mason, will you come inside for a minute?

I want to talk to you.

- Yeah, right after this dance. - No no...

Sorry to have interrupted your dance.

Oh, that's all right.

What's the idea?

What are you doing?

In his back pocket.

- A detective. - I know.

How did you guess it?

Oh, my dear Mr. Mason, they seem to fit you better than they do me.

We're out to get the car.

Nishi, Rubens.

Rubens, Mason's double-crossed us.

We need to smash all this pottery and make a getaway.

What?

It's not true.

Then those handcuffs were in your pocket while you were making love to me.

What do you say?

You told me you loved me.

And I was fool enough to believe you.

You lied.

You only wanted evidence against me and my friends.

Oh, why don't you deny it?

Why don't you say something?

Come on, Colin, the cars are ready.

Come on, Iris...

The raid signal.

Get going.

Goodbye, my dear fellow.

My regards to the Commissioner.

What are you doing here?

Where's the key to those handcuffs?

Go on, beat it before they break in.

If you think I'm going to turn you in, you're crazy.

Go on, now beat it.

What's the idea?

I'm not going to have you disgraced.

You came here to make an arrest. Well, you made it.

Listen, Commissioner, isn't there any way we can get her out of this grave?

I'm afraid not.

But, Commissioner, if you let her go, I promise you she'll never do anything like this again.

I'll take her back to America with me.

What?

Well, there's nothing I can do.

But maybe she can do something for herself.

Bring Miss Whitney in.

Yes, sir.

Come in, Miss Whitney.

Now, that young man is willing to guarantee your good behavior for life if I let you go.

But you must buy your freedom.

Where can I find Colin Grant?

I don't know.

Don't you want to go to America with that young man?

More than anything in the world.

Well, where can I find Grant?

I won't tell.

I'll give you your freedom if you'll give me Grant.

I won't tell you.

You know you're facing ten years in prison.

I don't care, I won't tell you.

You understand that I'm only trying to help you.

Well, I'm sorry.

Take her back again.

It's a swell job being a cop, isn't it?

Listen, Commissioner, is there anything we can do to get her out of this?

You heard her.

Yes... I heard.

Thanks, just the same.

- Hello. - Hello.

Is that Commissioner Hope?

This is Colin Grant speaking.

Yes.

Yes, I... I understand Grant.

I assure you that's the only way you'll ever get me.

Now, don't be stupid.

You know I should be much more used to you than she would ever be.

Very well, I'll do that.

Yes.

In an hour.

Oh, shut up.

Well, well, I was just starting out to look for you.

You saved me a lot of time.

Thought you might want to see me.

May I come in?

May you come in?

You must come in.

Oh, I beg your pardon, would you have a drink?

Thanks very much.

I never touch it.

So I see.

Wait a minute, I think I'd like to drink with you.

By all means, allow me.

Say when?

When?

Now.

Here's to crime.

I got a better one than that.

Let's drink to Iris Whitney.

In prison.

Did they arrest her?

All right.

To Iris Whitney.

Yeah, she's in prison.

In your place.

Running for you.

I get perfectly charming of her.

It all depends how you look at it, fella.

I was over to Hope's office.

I heard him offer her freedom.

He said to her, give me Grant and I'll let you go.

- What'd she say? - She told him to go to...

Oh, I hope she didn't swear.

You know, I've been thinking about you

from the first day I started after you, that you were a swell guy.

Thanks very much.

Yes, you are.

All the time you're standing there drinking and smiling

and that poor girl's in prison on account of you.

Well, listen, Mr. Colin Grant, I'm turning you in.

Like an old car.

Yes, like a piece of junk that's no good.

And I'm taking you right around the Scotland Yard.

A little while ago, you offered to set her free if she turned Grant in.

She wouldn't do it.

Well, I'm turning him in.

You're too late, Nick.

Why do you think I'm here?

Why do you think she's here?

We've made our trade.

Oh, Colin, I can't let you do this.

It's all right, my dear. I've done it.

It was my show and I ran it.

You just trailed along.

Now I'm paying for it.

Thank you.

Well, my dear fellow, I hope you enjoyed your little trip to London.

It was swell seeing you.

Now, old fellow, I'm ready if you are.

My dear fellow, what's the matter?

I've just realized that tomorrow I shall have nothing to do.

Every day for three years I've said this is the day that I shall catch Grant.

Now you've got him. Are you sorry?

Life will be duller without you.

You know, I've got a funny idea.

It wouldn't surprise me if at any moment I might escape.

Well, you won't.

No.

Do you love me?

Sure.

Now you can sing if you want to.
