is any less reliable...

01:11:18,872 --> 01:11:21,792
In that split second, the whole thing
flashed through my mind.
977
01:11:21,917 --> 01:11:24,211
All I could think of was Fisher.
978

“Fisher planned this.”
979
01:11:27,005 --> 01:11:29,758
Then I guess I just stepped aside,
and over he went.
980
01:11:29,883 --> 01:11:32,219
Over he went, all right.
Did you want this?
981
01:11:32,344 --> 01:11:33,804
No, thanks.

When are you going to send the story
to our esteemed gazette?
983

01:11:39,643 --> 01:11:41,687
Well, there goes another
of my illusions.
985

I thought you were one of those
journalists nothing could stop.

No. I can understand you not wanting
to drag Miss Fisher into it.
989
01:11:55,075 --> 01:11:57,411
On the other hand,
she's probably in it already.
990
01:11:57,577 --> 01:11:59,579
- The moll of the gang.
- Why, you dirty -

On second thought, I'm sure not.
I'm sure she's a fine girl -

Ah, there's our man now, probably.
Mr. Van Meer, come in.

Good morning, Stebbins.
How are you, Haverstock?
997
01:12:17,764 --> 01:12:20,434
Congratulations on your little
set-to with Rowley.

What do you know
about Rowley?
999
01:12:24,730 --> 01:12:27,357
Very little ffolliott doesn't hear.
He probably even knows about Fisher.
1000
01:12:27,482 --> 01:12:29,276
I was onto Fisher
a year ago...
1001
01:12:29,443 --> 01:12:31,445
but that fellow
with the high-neck sweater -
1002

- Krug - he's new to me -
- You're onto him too?
1003
01:12:34,114 --> 01:12:36,950
- Followed him to London.
- I thought you were cold on this story.
1004
01:12:37,075 --> 01:12:39,619
On the contrary.
I've been doing a bit of noticing.
1005
01:12:39,745 --> 01:12:42,330
- Remember that tramp asleep in the mill?
- Yeah.
1006
01:12:42,456 --> 01:12:45,625
- He wasn't a tramp at all.
- Van Meer, I suppose.
1007
01:12:45,751 --> 01:12:49,421
Not quite, but I noticed him
do a strange thing for a tramp.
1008
01:12:49,546 --> 01:12:52,382
He dirtied his hands
with some of that nasty Dutch soil.
1009
01:12:52,507 --> 01:12:55,343
I can't follow the workings
of these masterminds.

You'd already disappeared,
so I followed Krug...

at the same old mousetrap.

Hello, Eddie?
This is Plunger Stebbins.

I want to place a bet
on Flibbertigibbet in the first -

The race is over? What do you know
about that? Okay, I'll oall you later.
1020
01:13:23,413 --> 01:13:26,166
Any objection to working
the rest of this thing together?
1021
01:13:26,333 --> 01:13:28,835
Catch Fisher, find Van Meer,
that sort of thing?
1022
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,214
All right, but I'd like to know
why they kidnapped Van Meer.
1023
01:13:32,339 --> 01:13:34,841
He was one of the signatories
to a certain treaty.
1024
01:13:35,008 --> 01:13:37,052
The most important clause
was never written down...
1025
01:13:37,177 --> 01:13:39,346
just memorized
by the two people who signed.
1026
01:13:39,471 --> 01:13:41,181
They're gonna
beat it out of him?
1027
01:13:41,348 --> 01:13:44,684
They're going to try. It'd be
a good idea if we put a stop to them.
1028
01:13:44,851 --> 01:13:47,354
It contains information
that would be valuable to the enemy...

in the war that breaks out tomorrow,
weather permitting.
1030
01:13:50,107 --> 01:13:52,484
What? Why didn't someone
let me in on this?
1031
01:13:52,609 --> 01:13:55,529
- Stebbins, we've got to get busy.
- Plenty of time. Lunch first.
1032
01:13:55,654 --> 01:13:57,948
You mind waiting?
You might be of some help.
1033
01:13:58,073 --> 01:14:00,659
I thought up a little plan
for forcing Fisher's hand.
1034
01:14:00,784 --> 01:14:02,410
Let's have it.
1035
01:14:02,536 --> 01:14:06,123
I think the neatest thing would be
to kidnap Fisher's daughter.
1036
01:14:07,207 --> 01:14:10,877
- Oh, yeah? - One of Fisher's few genuine
traits is his affection for Miss Fisher.
1037
01:14:11,044 --> 01:14:13,213
Easy. You're speaking
to the man who loves her.
1038
01:14:13,338 --> 01:14:15,882
All the better. Give you
a chance to get chummy...
1039
01:14:16,007 --> 01:14:19,594
and keep her out of this mess
while we batter away at papa.
1040
01:14:19,719 --> 01:14:22,264
This is my scheme:
I walk in, let Fisher know...
1041
01:14:22,389 --> 01:14:24,891
his daughter's in the hands
of someone who means business...
1042
01:14:25,058 --> 01:14:28,562
just as he means business when he kidnaps
people. He'll see things our way.
1043
01:14:28,687 --> 01:14:30,689
- Nothing doing.
- I thought you were a newspaperman.
1044
01:14:30,814 --> 01:14:33,316
That doesn't include kidnapping
your fiancee where I come from.

- It would if your country were at stake.
- This isn't my country.

It's your story. Don't be gloomy.
She doesn't have to know.

01:14:39,698 --> 01:14:42,909
- Just keep her amused.
- Why not grab Fisher and have a showdown?
1048
01:14:43,034 --> 01:14:46,746
No good. We've got nothing
on Fisher. He'd slip out of it anyway.
1049
01:14:46,872 --> 01:14:49,541
All we'd do would be
to kill Van Meer.

Maybe it'd be better further out -

Hello, Mr. Powers.
This is Johnny Jones.
1617

Easy.
Here comes the captain.

Mr. Powers, keep your ear
glued to this phone...
1619
01:55:38,779 --> 01:55:40,531
and don't hang up.
1620
01:55:46,037 --> 01:55:49,040
- Mr. Haverstock, I want to talk with you.
- Yes, sir?
1621
01:55:49,206 --> 01:55:52,043
- I've just found out you're a
newspaperman. - I guess that's right.
1622
01:55:52,168 --> 01:55:55,129
Why didn't you tell me that
when I questioned you?
1623
01:55:55,254 --> 01:55:57,673
- You lied to me, sir.
- My dear captain...
1624
01:55:57,798 --> 01:56:01,052
when you've been shot down in
a British plane by a German destroyer...
1625
01:56:01,218 --> 01:56:04,221
300 miles off the coast of England -
latitude 45 -

to a half-submerged wing for hours...

waiting to drown with half a dozen
other stricken human beings...
1628

you're liable to forget
you're a newspaperman for a moment.
1629
01:56:13,064 --> 01:56:17,026
You're gonna have to forget it
for as long as you're on this ship.
1630
01:56:17,151 --> 01:56:19,070
I can't understand
your attitude, sir.
1631
01:56:19,236 --> 01:56:22,114
You performed a heroic rescue.
Captain John Martin.
1632
01:56:22,239 --> 01:56:25,576
- You took us out of the sea. - You're
not sending anything from this ship.
1633
01:56:25,701 --> 01:56:27,953
- That's final.
- You're absolutely right, Captain.
1634
01:56:28,079 --> 01:56:30,414
We mustn't embarrass
the United States government.
1635
01:56:30,539 --> 01:56:31,957
Exactly. That's my point.

If you don't want me to print it, okay.

You know who the head of that movement
was in London'? Stephen Fisher.
1641
01:56:47,431 --> 01:56:51,102
What? You mean the man who ran the Universal
Peace Party? That's preposterous!
1642
01:56:51,227 --> 01:56:54,230
Yes, the same Mr. Fisher
who was drowned a few hours ago.
1643
01:56:54,355 --> 01:56:57,441
He was using the Peace Party
as a cover-up for spies and traitors.
1644
01:56:57,566 --> 01:56:59,819
He was going to be arrested
and sent back to England.
1645
01:56:59,944 --> 01:57:04,073
- Those are facts. - I can't believe
it. He was a friend of mine.
1646
01:57:04,198 --> 01:57:07,785
The same Stephen Fish er who engineered the
kidnapping of Van Meer, the Dutch diplomat.
1647
01:57:07,910 --> 01:57:10,454
- You don't expect anybody to believe that.
- It's the truth.
1648
01:57:10,621 --> 01:57:12,540
- I refuse -
- Captain, wait a minute.
1649
01:57:12,665 --> 01:57:16,419
This young lady should know whether my friend
is speaking the truth about Mr. Fisher.
1650
01:57:16,544 --> 01:57:19,839
Yes, I ought to know.
Mr. Fisher was... my father.

- And I want the story printed.

that's my uncle. Uh -

Yes, I'm going back to Europe.

if you had any instructions for me.

Yes. Keep on the job.

Hello, America.

like a steer in a slaughterhouse.
