Thank you very very much.

we'll sort it out
for you! [Laughs]

Harry!

00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:07,900
Well, Mr. Ambassador!
Hello there!

10
00:02:08,067 --> 00:02:11,400
- It's good to see ya.
- Yeah, sure!

11
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:15,267
Yes, you know, when the
bag went over to the other side

12
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:16,933
and you sent your
man round for my bag

13
00:02:17,067 --> 00:02:21,333
and the two got
mistaken! [Laughs]

14
00:02:21,433 --> 00:02:24,333
No, no, you've
got the wrong man.

15
00:02:25,367 --> 00:02:26,367
What?

16
00:02:30,333 --> 00:02:34,333
So once again, my
darlings, thank you.

00:02:34,433 --> 00:02:35,967
Thank you, and,

18
00:02:36,067 --> 00:02:37,567
thank you.

19
00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:40,467
Please, don't thank us
any more, miss la strange,

20
00:02:40,567 --> 00:02:42,733
we really were
only doing our job.

25
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:56,267
Well, more than kind.

26
00:02:56,367 --> 00:03:00,067

27
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:03,167

wanted to repay you

Ah, but here comes
its representative.

Randall, darling?

33

I should like you to
meet the man responsible

34
00:03:17,367 --> 00:03:20,867
for rescuing your poor
virma from the kidnappers.

35
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:22,333
May I present,

36
00:03:22,433 --> 00:03:25,733
the ambassador of the
United States, Mr. Wilmot.

37
00:03:25,833 --> 00:03:29,067
And this is Mr. Blunt, the
famous private investigator.

38
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,867
How'd you do, sir?

39
00:03:31,967 --> 00:03:34,167
Delighted, Mr. Blunt.

40
00:03:34,267 --> 00:03:37,267
Oh yes, and this
is his little assistant,

please excuse me,

fitting for my crown.

So sad.

And then tomorrow, I
lose my head. Imagine.

54
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Yes.

55
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,833
Adieu, my friends,
we will meet again.

56
00:04:18,933 --> 00:04:19,933
I'm sure.

57
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:24,833
Isn't she spiffy?

58
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:28,500
Yes.

59
00:04:30,233 --> 00:04:32,800
We are very proud to
welcome miss la strange.

60
00:04:34,167 --> 00:04:37,067
As one of our newer citizens.

61
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:38,443
And we are very
grateful to you both

62
00:04:38,467 --> 00:04:41,367
for helping her avoid abduction.

63
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:44,600
We aim to satisfy in the
shortest space of time.

64
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:46,500
Still, miss Robinson,

65
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,967
24 hours is quite a record.

66
00:04:50,533 --> 00:04:52,200
It has impressed me sufficiently

67
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,267
to the extent that
i'd like to present you

68
00:04:54,367 --> 00:04:56,733
with another little matter
that has, rubbed up.

69
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,100
A professional matter?

70
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,100
Well, it's probably nothing.

71
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,300
It's just that,

72
00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:07,100
well, are you free
tomorrow at 3:20?

73
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,533
Yes.

74
00:05:09,633 --> 00:05:10,867
[Randall] Good, good.

75
00:05:11,733 --> 00:05:13,700
Shall we come to
the embassy, sir?

76
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,133
No!

77
00:05:15,233 --> 00:05:16,567
No, I'd rather
like to take a look

78
00:05:16,667 --> 00:05:19,567
inside a British private
investigator's office.

79
00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:21,167
I'll pay you a visit.

80
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:25,367
Thank you.

81
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Thanks.

82
00:05:42,667 --> 00:05:43,700
As I was about to say,

83
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,067
there's nothing in it to
trouble Scotland yard about.

84
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,433
I'm not any the
worse in any way,

85
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,700
and it's all probably
due to a simple mistake.

86
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,600
But all the same,

87
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:57,967
I don't see how
that mistake arose.

88
00:05:58,067 --> 00:05:59,633
Nothing criminal
in it I dare say,

89
00:05:59,733 --> 00:06:01,800
no, no, my dear
never touch them,

90
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,900
but I'd just like to get
things straightened out.

91
00:06:05,067 --> 00:06:06,567
Makes me mad!

92
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,133
Not to be able to see
the whys and wherefores.

93
00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:10,367
Quite so.

94
00:06:10,467 --> 00:06:11,900
Now, to recap.

95
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,500
You arrived by the liner
nomadic a week ago.

96
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:19,600
In some way, your kit bag

97
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:21,400
and the kit bag of
another gentlemen,

98
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,067
Mr. Ralph westerham,
whose initials

99
00:06:24,133 --> 00:06:25,933
are the same as
yours, got mixed up.

100
00:06:26,067 --> 00:06:27,600
You took Mr. Westerham's kit bag

101
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:29,233
and he took yours.

102
00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:31,633
Mr. Westerham discovered
the mistake immediately,

103
00:06:31,733 --> 00:06:36,400
sent round the bag to the
embassy and took away his own.

104
00:06:37,233 --> 00:06:39,133
Quite right, miss Robinson.

105
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:41,433
Perfect.

106
00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:44,567
The two bags must've
been practically identical.

107
00:06:44,667 --> 00:06:48,300
And with the initials rw
being the same in both cases,

108
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,067
it's not difficult to understand

109
00:06:50,167 --> 00:06:51,900
that an error
might've been made.

110
00:06:52,067 --> 00:06:54,067
I myself was not aware
of what had happened

111
00:06:54,167 --> 00:06:56,567
'til my valet informed
me of the mistake,

112
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,800
and that Mr. Westerham,
oh, he is a senator,

113
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,100
a man for whom I
have a great admiration,

114
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,100
had sent round for his
bag and returned mine.

115
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,733
Then I don't see-

116
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:08,633
oh, but you will, Mr. Blunt.

117
00:07:09,433 --> 00:07:10,967
You will.

118
00:07:11,067 --> 00:07:13,567
Yesterday, at our little party

119
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,133
and just before I joined you

120
00:07:15,233 --> 00:07:18,067
and your charming miss Robinson,

121
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,900
I ran up against
senator westerham.

122
00:07:21,067 --> 00:07:23,167
I mentioned the
matter to him jestingly,

123
00:07:23,267 --> 00:07:25,600
and to my great surprise,

124
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:28,367
he didn't seem to know
just what I was talking about.

125
00:07:28,467 --> 00:07:31,667
When I explained, he
denied the story absolutely.

126
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:33,600
He had not taken
the bag off the ship

127
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:35,933
in mistake for his own, in fact,

128
00:07:36,067 --> 00:07:38,600
he had not travelled
with such an article

129
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,167
amongst his luggage!

130
00:07:40,267 --> 00:07:41,400
What an extraordinary thing.

131
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,333
Mr. Blunt, it is an
extraordinary thing.

132
00:07:43,433 --> 00:07:45,733
There seems no
rhyme or reason in it.

133
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:48,267
Why, if anyone would've
wanted to steal my kit bag,

134
00:07:48,367 --> 00:07:49,709
he could have done
so easily enough

135
00:07:49,733 --> 00:07:52,367
without resorting to all
this roundabout business.

136
00:07:52,467 --> 00:07:54,367
And anyway, it was not stolen,

137
00:07:54,467 --> 00:07:56,100
but returned to you.

138
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,933
On the other hand,

139
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:00,967
if it was a mistake,

140
00:08:01,067 --> 00:08:03,433
why use senator
westerham's name?

141
00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:05,767
It's a crazy business, my dear.

142
00:08:05,867 --> 00:08:07,600
But just for curiosity,

143
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:09,067
I need to get to
the bottom of it.

144
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:11,467
You say nothing was
missing from your bag

145
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:13,833
when it came back
into your possession?

146
00:08:13,933 --> 00:08:16,333
My man says not, he would know.

147
00:08:16,433 --> 00:08:17,967
What was in it?

148
00:08:18,067 --> 00:08:19,367
If I may ask.

149
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,833
Of course you
may, miss Robinson.

150
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,067
My bag contained boots.

151
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,067
Boots.

152
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:29,867
Yes. Boots.

153
00:08:29,967 --> 00:08:31,733
Odd, isn't it?

154
00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:33,400
Now, who came for the bag?

155
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:34,967
The other bag, I mean.

156
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,267
Supposed to be one of
westerham's servants.

157
00:08:38,367 --> 00:08:40,433
Quite an ordinary
man, so I understand.

158
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:42,433
My valet saw nothing
wrong with him.

159
00:08:42,533 --> 00:08:44,067
Had it been unpacked at all?

160
00:08:44,167 --> 00:08:45,433
Not that I know.

161
00:08:45,533 --> 00:08:48,500
I presume not, but perhaps
you'd like to question my valet.

162
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,967
[Gentle orchestral music]

163
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,200
[Tommy] Mr. Richards?

164
00:09:13,667 --> 00:09:14,800
Just Richards, sir.

165
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:16,233
Good.

166
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:18,800
Well, shall we sit down?

167
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:19,900
Thank you, sir.

168
00:09:20,967 --> 00:09:24,233
It's about this matter
of a kit bag full of boots.

169
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:26,700
His excellency informed
me that you'd be calling,

170
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,167
but I doubt if I can
tell you anything new.

171
00:09:29,267 --> 00:09:31,333
Mr. Wilmot was rather
upset over the affair,

172
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:32,433
I know that, sir,

173
00:09:32,533 --> 00:09:34,867
but I can hardly see why,
since no harm was done.

174
00:09:34,967 --> 00:09:37,133
Can you be sure
of that, Richards?

175
00:09:37,233 --> 00:09:39,733
Well, none that I know of, sir.

176
00:09:39,833 --> 00:09:41,109
I certainly understood
from the man

177
00:09:41,133 --> 00:09:42,576
who called for the
bag that it belonged

178
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,067
to senator westerham.

179
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:45,727
But of course, I may
have been mistaken.

180
00:09:45,767 --> 00:09:48,067
What kind of man was he?

181
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,833
Middle aged, grey hair.

182
00:09:50,933 --> 00:09:52,500
Very good class, I should say.

183
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,100
Most respectable.

184
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,833
Now, I understood he was
senator westerham's valet.

185
00:09:56,933 --> 00:09:58,567
He just left Mr. Wilmot's bag,

186
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,300
took away the other.

187
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,967
Had it been unpacked at all?

188
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Which one, sir?

189
00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:07,333
Well, I meant the bag
you brought from the boat,

190
00:10:07,433 --> 00:10:09,967
but, I should like to know
about the other bag as well,

191
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:11,900
Mr. Wilmot's own.

192
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,700
Had that been unpacked
at all, do you fancy?

193
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,876
Well, I should say not, sir.

194
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,333
No, it was just as I
strapped it up on the boat.

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,567
I should say the gentlemen,

196
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:24,200
whoever he was,
he just opened it,

197
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,233
realised it wasn't his and,

198
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:27,233
shut it up again.

199
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:28,467
Nothing missing.

200
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:30,567
No small article?

201
00:10:31,867 --> 00:10:33,000
Don't think so, sir.

202
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,433
In fact, I'm quite sure.

203
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:38,000
What about the other bag?

204
00:10:38,833 --> 00:10:40,433
Had you started to unpack that?

205
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,740
Well, as a matter of fact, sir,

206
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,467
I was just opening
it at the very moment

207
00:10:44,567 --> 00:10:46,233
that senator
westerham's man arrived.

208
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:47,967
I had just undone the straps.

209
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,633
Did you see inside
the bag at all?

210
00:10:52,467 --> 00:10:54,467
No, we just, we
unfastened it together, sir,

211
00:10:54,567 --> 00:10:57,333
to be sure no mistake
had been made this time.

212
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,067
The man said it was alright.

213
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,633
He strapped it up.

214
00:11:02,733 --> 00:11:03,867
Took it away.

215
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:05,433
[Tommy] Boots, what was it?

216
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:07,333
Pardon, sir?

217
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:09,267
[Tommy] In the bag?

218
00:11:09,367 --> 00:11:10,100
Oh.

219
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,733
No, sir.

220
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:12,833
What then?

221
00:11:15,067 --> 00:11:16,567
I didn't really notice much.

222
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,867
Toilet things, I fancy.

223
00:11:22,233 --> 00:11:23,933
I think I saw a
tin of bath salts.

224
00:11:25,867 --> 00:11:27,300
And you never saw
anyone tampering

225
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,800
with anything in
your master's cabin

226
00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:30,533
onboard ship, I suppose.

227
00:11:30,633 --> 00:11:31,467
No, sir.

228
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:33,733
[Tommy] Nothing
suspicious of any kind?

229
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:35,700
No.

230
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:40,300
Just a minute, sir.

231
00:11:42,067 --> 00:11:43,800
Something's coming back to me.

232
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:45,067
Yes? What?

233
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,533
Well, I don't think it could
have anything to do with it,

234
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:51,267
but there was a young lady.

235
00:11:52,833 --> 00:11:55,700
She was taken queer just
outside Mr. Wilmot's cabin.

236
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,967
The sea was cutting up rough

237
00:11:58,067 --> 00:11:59,733
and she looked so frail.

238
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:01,200
I took her inside,

239
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,767
so she might recover herself.

240
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:05,767
She asked me to fetch a doctor.

241
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:07,167
So I left her there

242
00:12:07,267 --> 00:12:08,800
whilst I went off to find him.

243
00:12:09,733 --> 00:12:12,100
By the time I got back, she
seemed almost alright again.

244
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,567
[Tommy] Did you discover
the young lady's name?

245
00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:16,367
Mhmm.

246
00:12:17,067 --> 00:12:18,067
Eileen O'Hara.

247
00:12:20,167 --> 00:12:21,167
Not tall,

248
00:12:21,967 --> 00:12:23,067
with dark hair.

249
00:12:23,867 --> 00:12:25,400
Just a little foreign looking.

250

You don't think, sir?

251
00:12:28,633 --> 00:12:30,567
I don't know what
to think, Richards.

252
00:12:32,067 --> 00:12:34,167
Was this miss O'Hara
travelling alone?

253
00:12:35,067 --> 00:12:36,800
I believe so, sir.

254
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:39,233
And you haven't seen
her since you landed?

255
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:40,333
Oh no, sir.

256
00:12:41,467 --> 00:12:42,467
Very well.

That will be all
for now, Richards.

258
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:46,667
Thank you.

259
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,067
For now, sir?

260
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:50,533
Well, I may wish to
question you again.

Oh my dear Tommy, that's
too impossibly Irish for words.

266
00:13:07,867 --> 00:13:10,167
And the sudden
fainting won't do.

267
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:11,267
Too suspicious.

268
00:13:12,267 --> 00:13:14,600
She's probably a German spy.

be a better description.

stop me a taxi, will you?

Albert.

282
00:13:48,367 --> 00:13:49,367
Right away, miss.

283
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,600

Are you gonna continue

00:17:35,433 --> 00:17:38,267
with this interrogation,
tuppence?

367
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:41,233
You won't allow me to pull
the wool over your eyes.

368
00:17:42,067 --> 00:17:44,267
But I really must be
allowed to do a little work

369
00:17:44,367 --> 00:17:46,933
if I'm to justify being here.

370
00:17:47,067 --> 00:17:48,900
As far as I'm
concerned, my dear,

371
00:17:49,067 --> 00:17:50,700
you don't need
any justification.

well, anyone suspicious.

There were a few rather
high-spirited kids as I recall.

383
00:18:19,367 --> 00:18:20,647
Yes, every night
in the ballroom,

384
00:18:20,733 --> 00:18:23,067
they would cause
some sort of exhibition.

386
00:18:24,367 --> 00:18:26,300
Yes, but more than that.

387
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,500
They seemed to be
desperate somehow.

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,200
As if they were living
a separate experience.

389
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:34,400
One night they learnt
who I was, I fancy,

390
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:36,967
they surrounded my table
and just wouldn't leave.

391
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,067
I dined in my cabin after that.

392
00:18:40,133 --> 00:18:41,400
And that was all?

393
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:42,933
That's all I can remember.

394
00:18:43,067 --> 00:18:45,300
What about Eileen O'Hara?

395
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,567
Did Richards tell you about her?

396
00:18:51,133 --> 00:18:52,133
Funny thing.

397
00:18:53,167 --> 00:18:55,633
You know, she'd almost
slipped my memory.

398
00:18:57,433 --> 00:19:00,400
But I don't see how she could
have anything to do with it.

399
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,467
Fact of the matter is, I
only met her by chance.

400
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:07,067
Apparently, she'd
collapsed outside the cabin.

401
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,700
Richards had shown her
in, then gone for a doctor.

402
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,567
I'd forgotten my cigar case
and returned to collect it

403
00:19:13,667 --> 00:19:17,233
to find a young woman,
sitting in my cabin.

404
00:19:18,167 --> 00:19:19,676
Richards then
appeared with the doctor,

405
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,067
but she said she felt
better and didn't need him.

406
00:19:23,133 --> 00:19:25,067
Richards then helped
her to her cabin.

407
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,467
Well, that was the
last I saw of her.

408
00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:32,300
How did you learn her name?

409
00:19:33,467 --> 00:19:35,067
I always make a
point of ascertaining

410
00:19:35,167 --> 00:19:37,767
the name of any person
with whom I have contact.

411
00:19:40,833 --> 00:19:42,367
You don't think she was just,

412
00:19:43,767 --> 00:19:45,967
pretending to be sick, do you?

413
00:19:46,067 --> 00:19:47,100
It has been known.

414
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:49,733

will want to speak

415
00:19:49,833 --> 00:19:51,433

Oh, poor kid, you
know, I hate to see that.

If that's what drink can
do to a young woman

prohibition laws are correct.

come back for his cigar case

Not even the first time.

543
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:22,767
Well, I consider it a
major step forward

544
00:26:22,867 --> 00:26:25,133
in the art of
motion picture form.

545
00:26:25,233 --> 00:26:27,367
Those posters will be glad
to see you agree with them.

546
00:26:27,467 --> 00:26:30,067
Anyway, how else am I
gonna pick up tips on lassoing?

547
00:26:30,167 --> 00:26:31,967
I don't know!

548
00:26:32,067 --> 00:26:33,376
There's not many
cattle in bethnal green

549
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,867
to practise on,
even if you could!

550
00:26:34,967 --> 00:26:36,500
I already can!

551
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,267
Just wanna be
the best, that's all.

552
00:26:39,367 --> 00:26:40,467
How little you understand

553
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:43,100
the need for different
skills in my profession.

554
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,333
[Bell ringing]

555
00:26:44,433 --> 00:26:46,433
Crikey! Two o'clock!

556
00:26:46,533 --> 00:26:47,533
- What?
- See ya.

557
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,400
Lion's cornerhouse,
outside, quarter past six.

558
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:51,333
Why so early?

559
00:26:51,433 --> 00:26:53,533
So we can see it round twice!

560
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,233
Oh! [Sighs]

561
00:26:59,333 --> 00:27:02,833
[Tense orchestral music]

562
00:27:09,833 --> 00:27:11,533
[Woman] Mr. Blunt?

563
00:27:11,633 --> 00:27:12,633
Yes.

564
00:27:15,933 --> 00:27:17,967
I didn't hear you come in.

565
00:27:18,067 --> 00:27:19,067
Evidently.

566
00:27:23,067 --> 00:27:24,767
A difficult case last night.

567
00:27:24,867 --> 00:27:27,533
You know how these
things, catch up on one.

568
00:27:27,633 --> 00:27:28,633
Won't you take a seat?

569
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:29,700
Thank you.

570
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,433
Now then, tell me how you think

571
00:27:33,533 --> 00:27:35,167
I may be able to help you.

572
00:27:35,267 --> 00:27:38,067
I saw your advertisement
in today's paper.

573
00:27:38,133 --> 00:27:39,367
I was on board the nomadic

574
00:27:39,467 --> 00:27:41,700
during the crossing
that you mentioned.

575
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,100
So this is the office
of Mr. Busybody blunt.

576
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,467
Hands up or I shoot!

577
00:27:47,433 --> 00:27:49,467
This lady will come
with me, please.

578
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:50,967
Yes, you will, my dear.

579
00:27:51,067 --> 00:27:54,567
You have never seen me
before, but that doesn't matter.

580
00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:55,900
I can't have my plans ruined

581
00:27:56,067 --> 00:27:58,400
by a silly little
chick like you!

582
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,467
I seem to remember seeing
you on board the nomadic.

583
00:28:02,567 --> 00:28:04,433
You must have been
peering into things

584
00:28:04,533 --> 00:28:06,300
that didn't concern you.

585
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,567
But I have no intentions
of letting you blab

586
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:11,433
any secrets to Mr. Blunt here!

587
00:28:13,933 --> 00:28:16,333
A very clever
gentlemen, Mr. Blunt,

588
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:19,100
with his fancy advertisements.

589
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,900
[She gasps]

590
00:28:21,067 --> 00:28:22,533
But as it happens,

591
00:28:22,633 --> 00:28:25,067
I keep an eye on the
advertisement columns.

592
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:28,400
That's how I got
wise to his little game.

593
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,633
You interest me exceedingly.

594
00:28:30,733 --> 00:28:31,600
Won't you go on?

595
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:34,500
Cheek won't help you, Mr. Blunt.

596
00:28:36,233 --> 00:28:38,333
From now on, you
are a marked man.

597
00:28:39,267 --> 00:28:42,533
Give up this investigation,
we leave you alone.

598
00:28:42,633 --> 00:28:44,167
Otherwise, god help you.

599
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:49,367
Death comes swiftly to
those who thwart our plans.

600
00:28:49,467 --> 00:28:50,533
No!

601
00:28:50,633 --> 00:28:51,467
I've got him!

602

[Gunshot ringing]

603
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,233
I've got him, sir!

604
00:28:53,333 --> 00:28:54,867
I've lassoed him!

605
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:57,433
I've been practising with me
lasso in me spare time, sir.

606
00:28:57,533 --> 00:28:59,253
Could you give me a
hand? He's very violent.

607
00:28:59,333 --> 00:29:00,133
You damned idiot, Albert!

608
00:29:00,233 --> 00:29:02,600
Why didn't you
go for the police?

609
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:03,600
This fool's play of yours

610
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:05,460
near as anything plugged
me through the head!

611
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,633
It was a jolly lucky escape.

612
00:29:06,733 --> 00:29:08,433
Lassoed him in the
Nick of time, I did.

613
00:29:08,533 --> 00:29:10,467
Oh, if tilly could
only see me now.

614
00:29:10,567 --> 00:29:11,943
It's wonderful what
those chaps can do

615
00:29:11,967 --> 00:29:12,967
on the prairies, sir!

616
00:29:13,067 --> 00:29:14,376
Yes, well we're not
on the prairies, Albert,

617
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,067
we happen to be in
a highly civilised city!

618
00:29:17,167 --> 00:29:18,533
Now, then,

619
00:29:18,633 --> 00:29:20,500
my dear sir,

620
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,933
what are we going
to do with you?

621
00:29:22,067 --> 00:29:23,733
[He shouts in Spanish]

622
00:29:23,833 --> 00:29:24,833
Hush!

623
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:25,943
I don't understand a
word of what you're saying.

624
00:29:25,967 --> 00:29:28,067
But I suspect is not
the kind of language

625
00:29:28,167 --> 00:29:29,467
to use in front of a lady.

626
00:29:30,633 --> 00:29:33,267
You will excuse him,
please, won't you miss...

627
00:29:33,367 --> 00:29:35,800
Oh, do you know, in the
heat of this little upset,

628
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:37,567
I've completely
forgotten your name.

629
00:29:37,667 --> 00:29:38,700
March.

630
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,567
I beg you pardon?

631
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:41,067
Cicely march.

632
00:29:41,133 --> 00:29:42,133
Oh, I see.

633
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,867
What are you
going to do with him?

634
00:29:43,967 --> 00:29:45,667
I could fetch a Bobby now, sir?

635
00:29:47,633 --> 00:29:49,167
No.

636
00:29:49,267 --> 00:29:51,633
No, I shall let
him go this time.

637
00:29:51,733 --> 00:29:53,376
Nevertheless, I shall
give myself the pleasure

638
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,100
of kicking him down the stairs,

639
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,433
if only to teach him
manners to a lady.

640
00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:03,300
Now, my dear sir, out you go!

641
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,233
Come on down. [Grunts]

Are you... did he...

644
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:14,933
Did you hurt him?

645
00:30:15,033 --> 00:30:16,467
Well, I hope so, but,

646
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:19,833
probably less than he
made out. [Clears his throat]

647
00:30:19,933 --> 00:30:21,600
Shall we go back
into my office, miss-

648
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:22,433
- oh!
- March,

649
00:30:22,533 --> 00:30:24,067
and resume our conversation?

650
00:30:24,167 --> 00:30:26,400
I don't think we shall
be interrupted again.

651
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:31,033
I had me lasso
ready, sir, just in case.

652
00:30:31,133 --> 00:30:32,233
Put it away, Albert.

653
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,667
Now, miss march.

654
00:30:39,333 --> 00:30:40,500
Oh.

655
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,867
I don't quite know
where to begin.

656
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:45,567
As that dreadful man said,

657
00:30:45,667 --> 00:30:48,000
I was a passenger
on the nomadic.

658
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,733
The lady you advertised
about, miss O'Hara?

659
00:30:51,833 --> 00:30:53,300
She was also on board.

660
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,300
Exactly.

661
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,900
Now, that we know already,

662
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,833
but I suspect you know

663
00:30:56,933 --> 00:30:59,433
something of her
doings on board ship,

664
00:30:59,533 --> 00:31:01,767
otherwise that
picturesque gentleman

665
00:31:01,867 --> 00:31:04,600
would not have been in
such a hurry to intervene.

666
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,600
I will tell you
everything that I know!

667
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,100
[Tommy] Good.

668
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,967
The American
ambassador was on board.

669
00:31:11,067 --> 00:31:13,300
One day, I was passing his cabin

670
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,233
and I happened to
glance through the window.

671
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:17,767
And I saw this woman inside.

672
00:31:17,867 --> 00:31:19,200
She was doing something,

673
00:31:20,267 --> 00:31:23,067
so extraordinary that
I stopped to watch.

674
00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:25,700
She had a man's
boot in her hand,

675
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,167
and with a little
pair of scissors,

676
00:31:27,267 --> 00:31:29,400
she was slitting the lining.

677
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:31,767
Then she appeared to
push something inside,

678
00:31:31,867 --> 00:31:32,907
well, just at that moment,

679
00:31:32,933 --> 00:31:34,133
the ambassador returned

680
00:31:34,233 --> 00:31:35,867
and she immediately dropped back

681
00:31:35,967 --> 00:31:37,900
onto the couch and
pretended to faint.

682
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,767
Then a doctor appeared,
followed by another man

683
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:42,867
and I passed on.

684
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,700
I said pretended to faint

685
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,467
because when I first
caught sight of her,

686
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:50,900
she was obviously
feeling nothing of the kind!

687
00:31:51,833 --> 00:31:52,833
Go on.

688
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:55,867
I rather hate to tell
you the next part.

689
00:31:55,967 --> 00:31:58,300
I was curious,

690
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,667
and also I'd been
reading very silly books.

691
00:32:01,567 --> 00:32:04,433
I wondered if she'd put a bomb,

692
00:32:04,533 --> 00:32:06,867
or a poison needle
or something like that

693
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:08,667
into Mr. Wilmot's boot.

694
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:11,333
Well, I know it sounds
absurd, but I did think so.

695
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,067
Anyway, when I next passed
the empty cabin, I slipped in

696
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,467
and had a look at the boot.

697
00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:21,533
I drew out from the lining

698
00:32:21,633 --> 00:32:23,267
a piece of paper.

699
00:32:23,367 --> 00:32:24,933
Just as I had it in my hand,

700
00:32:25,067 --> 00:32:26,076
I heard the steward returning

701
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,367
so I hurried out so
as not to be caught.

702
00:32:28,467 --> 00:32:30,567
The folded paper
was still in my hand.

703
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,067
When I got back to my
own cabin, I examined it.

704
00:32:37,467 --> 00:32:39,233
Mr. Blunt, it was nothing

705
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:41,733
but some verses from the Bible!

706
00:32:41,833 --> 00:32:42,833
Verses from the Bible?

707
00:32:42,933 --> 00:32:44,900
Well, at least I
thought so at the time,

708
00:32:45,067 --> 00:32:46,427
I couldn't understand
it, I thought

709
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:48,800
perhaps it was the work
of a religious maniac.

710
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:51,667
Anyway, I didn't think it'd
worth my while replacing it.

711
00:32:51,767 --> 00:32:53,200
So I kept it.

712
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,933
And I thought nothing
about it, until yesterday.

713
00:32:57,067 --> 00:32:58,067
[Tommy] Yesterday?

714
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,967
I used it to make a paper boat

715
00:33:01,067 --> 00:33:03,567
for my little nephew
to sail in his bath.

716
00:33:04,767 --> 00:33:06,667
As the paper got wet,

717
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:10,700
I saw a queer kind of
design coming out all over it.

718
00:33:13,667 --> 00:33:17,233
The water had brought
out a hidden message.

719
00:33:17,333 --> 00:33:19,600
It was a kind of tracing.

720
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,567
And looked like the
mouth of a harbour?

721
00:33:27,633 --> 00:33:30,067
Anyway, it was
immediately after that

722
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,867
that I read your advertisement.

723
00:33:34,067 --> 00:33:37,067
Oh, but this is most important.

724
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,633
Yes, I see it all now.

725
00:33:40,067 --> 00:33:42,767
Now, that tracing
was probably the plan

726
00:33:42,867 --> 00:33:44,467
of some important
harbour defences.

727
00:33:44,567 --> 00:33:46,667
It had been stolen
by this woman.

728
00:33:46,767 --> 00:33:49,167
She was afraid that
someone was on her track,

729
00:33:49,267 --> 00:33:51,276
and not daring to keep it
amongst her own possessions,

730
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,367
contrived this hiding place.

731
00:33:53,467 --> 00:33:54,776
Later, when she
obtained possession

732
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,100
of the bag in which
the boot was packed,

733
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,200
she discovered the
paper had vanished.

734
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:02,600
Miss march, have you
brought this paper with you?

735
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:04,800
Oh, no, it's at my
place of business.

736
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,167

just off bond street.

I'm really the agent for
cyclamen preparations

00:34:09,333 --> 00:34:11,400
in New York, that is why
I've just been over there.

739
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:13,233
I thought the paper
might be important

740
00:34:13,333 --> 00:34:16,467
so I locked it away in the
safe before coming out.

741
00:34:16,567 --> 00:34:18,800
Ought not Scotland
yard to know about this?

742
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:20,476
- Yes indeed.
- Well, shall we go there now?

743
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,740
Get the paper and take a
straight round to Scotland yard?

744
00:34:22,767 --> 00:34:24,733
I'm afraid I'm very
busy this afternoon.

745
00:34:24,833 --> 00:34:27,033
The bishop of London has
asked me to call him on a case,

746
00:34:27,067 --> 00:34:28,867

concerning some vestments

747
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:30,367
and two curates.

748
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:32,733
In that case, I will go alone.

749
00:34:32,833 --> 00:34:34,243
But as I was about
to say, miss march,

750
00:34:34,267 --> 00:34:35,667

751
00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:38,333
I will just leave a
few words with Albert.

753
00:34:40,367 --> 00:34:43,200
that until that paper
is safely deposited

754
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:45,233
in the hands of Scotland yard,

755
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:47,300

Ought not we to get that taxi?

765
00:35:18,233 --> 00:35:19,567
It would be quicker.

walked to bond street.

taking this gentleman

me if anybody unusual

comes asking.

Though, I doubt
that they will in here.

905
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:39,500
I have made a note, monsieur.

906
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:42,943
I'm afraid, Mr. Blunt,
we have to go

907

through the treatment

Oh, yes.

912
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,609
But then one could
hardly expect women

913
00:42:28,633 --> 00:42:31,400
who wish to be one thing,
but in reality are another,

Isn't that's what your profession
is all about, miss march?

Hiding the truth?

919
00:42:41,233 --> 00:42:43,767
I mean, cosmetic deception.

920

You know, I should be fascinated

921
00:42:46,767 --> 00:42:48,800
to learn what it is that
attracts a young woman

[Tense orchestral music]

prefer to answer to O'Hara?

one has to be so very careful.

1029
00:47:05,833 --> 00:47:08,800
Things that look one
way, are often the other.

1030
00:47:10,233 --> 00:47:11,900
I asked myself,

00:47:12,067 --> 00:47:13,743
why should anyone want
the ambassador's bag

1032
00:47:13,767 --> 00:47:14,967
for an hour or so?

1033
00:47:15,067 --> 00:47:16,376
I put the question
the other way round

1034
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,533
and seemed to find my answer.

1035
00:47:18,633 --> 00:47:20,867
Supposing it was the other bag

1036
00:47:20,967 --> 00:47:22,467
that was the important one.

1037
00:47:23,733 --> 00:47:26,533
Someone wanted that bag to be
in the ambassador's possession

1038
00:47:26,633 --> 00:47:27,633
for an hour or so.

1039
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,100

they find it very hard
not to tell the truth,

1057

no matter how
much they try not to.

1058
00:48:13,067 --> 00:48:15,133

about one thing

that he'd seen in the
second bag, miss march.

see if I'm right.

1062

1063
00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:35,500
Just as poor Richards said.

1064

Well of course
they're bath salts,

best selling lines.

1067
00:48:41,367 --> 00:48:42,667
Could be.

1068
00:48:42,767 --> 00:48:43,767
Let's find out.

1069
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:48,967
Oh!

1070
00:48:50,767 --> 00:48:52,900

than carbonate of soda.

Indeed you did, and so they are.

00:48:58,733 --> 00:49:01,567
But is bath salts
all that is in the tin?

1075
00:49:01,667 --> 00:49:02,667
Tuppence.

1077
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:13,833
Here, miss.

1078
00:49:13,933 --> 00:49:15,100
Thank you, inspector.

1079
00:49:19,833 --> 00:49:21,700
Talcum, miss march?

1081
00:49:32,067 --> 00:49:33,433
I think not.

1082
00:49:35,667 --> 00:49:37,867
Cocaine, is it, sir?

1083
00:49:41,433 --> 00:49:42,433
Good lord!

1084
00:49:42,533 --> 00:49:44,733
There must be 50 tins in there!

1085
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:47,867
We knew there was
a distributing area

1086
00:49:47,967 --> 00:49:49,967
somewhere near here,
handy to the west end

1087
00:49:50,067 --> 00:49:51,833
and all the bright young things.

1088
00:49:51,933 --> 00:49:53,493
But we haven't been
able to find a clue.

1089
00:49:53,533 --> 00:49:56,067
Often easier working
undercover, inspector.

1090
00:49:57,167 --> 00:49:58,833
I'm sure Mr. Blunt
would like to explain

1091
00:49:58,933 --> 00:50:01,133
how we worked it out.

1092
00:50:04,467 --> 00:50:06,567
Clearly a case of smuggling.

1093
00:50:06,667 --> 00:50:09,567
Oh yes, but, smuggling of what?

1094

A curious comedy is
enacted in my office.

1095
00:50:11,833 --> 00:50:12,843
They'd read my advertisement

1096
00:50:12,867 --> 00:50:14,567
and wanted to put
me off the scent.

1097
00:50:14,667 --> 00:50:17,800
Or, failing that, out
of the way altogether.

1098
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:19,733
So I played the part
of the credulous sleuth

1099
00:50:19,833 --> 00:50:21,100
with all my might.

1100
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,567
Swallowed this charming
lady's impossible story,

1101
00:50:24,667 --> 00:50:26,967

to be lured here.

You see?

1105
00:50:34,567 --> 00:50:35,800
Perfect coordination.

1106
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:41,200
Well, many congratulations.

1107

This is another fine
coup you two have made.

I don't know how
to thank you enough.

1109

Oh, please don't, inspector.

1110
00:50:48,567 --> 00:50:52,033
Just put it down to one
more triumph for teamwork.
