You're Peter Brady, aren't you?

The one they call the Invisible Man.

That's right.

I must talk to you.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work to do before I get to London. Please,

please don't send me out.

They followed me onto the train.

Don't you see? If they catch me, they'll lock me up again.

Mr. Brady, my life is in danger.

Now, let's get this straight.

Who are you?

My name's Ellen Summers.

I took a photograph last spring. I was at the races.

You see, George Wilson had the day off. Now, slow down. Slow down. Take it easy.

Now, start from the beginning.

You say your life is in danger.

Is there anyone trying to kill you?

You must believe me. I'm not mad.

Well, who said you were?

Oh, excuse me. I thought this compartment was empty.

They are on the train. That was Dr. Trevor's assistant.

Who's Dr.

Trevor?

Who runs the mental home.

I've been kept prisoner there for months.

Oh, I see.

Dr. Trevor's been trying to drive me mad with some sort of injections.

Why don't you go to the police?

I did this morning, but they wouldn't believe me. I had to run away from them,

too.

I thought of you.

I'd heard you live nearby.

At your house, they told me you'd gone to London. I followed you onto the

train.

You must help me.

An innocent man is being hanged tomorrow morning.

You must have heard about the George Wilson case.

Yes, I read a bit about the trial. A young farmer, wasn't he? Yes.

Yes, he was employed by Dr. Trevor, working on the farm, attached to the

estate. I'm his girlfriend.

I mean, I was.

As far as I remember, George Wilson was a hot-headed young fellow.

Police inspector went to question him about some fight in the pub.

Wilson lost his temper and shot him. He didn't. He couldn't have shot the police

inspector that afternoon.

Why do you say that? Because I know George Wilson wasn't there.

I've got proof I could show it to you.

Tell me you believe me that you don't think I'm mad.

Well, all I can...

Oh, here we are. We're coming in.

My sister will be meeting me. You better come with us. You're not thinking of

sending me back, are you?

Dee. Hello, Pete.

I have a very strange girl.

She's escaping my mental.

What? Don't let her see you now.

Oh, Miss Summers, I...

She's

gone. She was standing just there.

I didn't notice her.

She said they'd followed her under the train.

I wonder...

Well Dee, what's been happening in London?

Nothing special.

Oh, you got a paper.

George Wilson makes last appeal.

I wonder if that girl was sane.

What do you mean?

Supposing he's innocent.

I didn't know you were interested in that case.

I wasn't.

Take the next turning left, Dee.

I'm going to see him in jail.

Hasn't there been any news from my lawyer yet? I wouldn't be pinning too

much on that, son.

Don't be alarmed, Wilson. I'm Peter Brady.

I'm the Invisible Man.

The Invisible Man?

Why are you here?

Try to be calm.

I'm here to help you. Sit down.

You testified at the trial that you were away on the day of the murder.

That's right.

I was at the races.

I kept on telling them, but I couldn't prove it.

Who is Ellen Summers?

Have you found her?

Shh. I may be able to. Tell me who she is.

She was my girl.

She was with me at the races that day.

Just when I needed her, she walked out of me. She disappeared.

My lawyers searched for her, but they couldn't find her.

Now listen, Wilson.

I don't know whether you're innocent or not, but if you are, I'll do my best to

help you.

I am innocent.

I swear it.

Did you say something, Wilson?

No, no, I was just talking to myself.

Take it easy, son. The governor's here to see you.

Wilson?

Yes, sir? I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.

Your appeal has been refused.

There's nothing more that can be done.

I'm sorry.

I'll be back.

What's that?

Nothing.

I have an appointment with Dr. Trepp. Very good.

Do you know Ellen Summers?

Ellen Summers? Do you know where she is?

No, I don't. I met her on the London train this morning.

She told me that she'd been a patient of yours for some time. Yes, yes. A most

distressing case. Poor child.

Total loss of memory.

Amnesia coupled with persecution, mania and delusions. She ran away from us this

morning. Did you notify the police?

My dear fellow, of course. We've been at our wit's end.

She vanished from the station. I haven't seen her since.

I thought she might be here.

What makes you so interested in her, Mr. Brady?

She claims to have some new evidence from the Wilson case.

Oh.

That old story.

Yes, yes.

No doubt there are moments she believes it herself.

Wilson was clever.

He tried to make use of her disordered mind to build himself an alibi.

I see.

You were the chief witness against Wilson, weren't you?

Unhappily, yes.

Sad case.

Goodbye, Dr. Trevor.

Goodbye.

If you hear anything, you will let me know. Sure.

Oh, excuse me.

He recognized me. He saw me on the train.

Pull into the left, Dee.

A woman looked into the compartment on the train.

Ellen said she was following her.

Well? She works in there. I just saw her.

Oh, you mean you think Ellen's story might be true?

Yeah.

I'm going back to have a look around.

And this time they won't be expecting me.

I hope you'll think next time before you give us all this trouble.

Gag her.

No, please leave me alone.

I wouldn't do that.

What's happening?

Don't be afraid, Ellen. I'll get you out of here.

Now sit up.

It's Brady, the invisible man.

Don't worry, Trevor. I'll be quite visible when I testify against you in

court. You're making a terrible mistake. This girl is insane.

Get out of here or I'll call the police.

Go ahead.

I can't let you do this.

Look out behind you.

Come on, we're leaving.

Ellen, you said on the train that you have proof of George Wilson's innocence.

Yes. We were together at the races at the time of the murder.

Your word alone isn't proof.

I took a photograph of him. You did?

Where is it?

Hidden in the apartment where I used to live.

Why did you hide it? Why didn't you take it to the police? Oh, I didn't have

time. Dr. Trevor phoned me with the news of George's arrest. I told him about the

photograph and he said he'd come right over and drive me to the police station.

So I waited for him. You didn't distrust him? No, not immediately.

Then at the last moment when the doorbell went, I began to worry.

George's life depended on that picture.

So I slid the negative behind a tear in the wallpaper.

And then you let Dr. Trevor in? Yes, that's right.

I showed him the picture and he asked for the negative. I said I'd lost it.

And he grabbed me and held me while his assistant searched the apartment.

They didn't find it? No.

Then what happened?

I struggled with them until I felt the jab of a needle.

When I woke up, I was in the mental home.

Where was that apartment of yours?

I lived in London, in Chelsea.

Step on it, Dee.

There's just a chance that negative is still behind the wallpaper.

This is the place.

It's getting late, Dee.

Better call Sir Charles at the home office and ask him where we can contact

him this evening.

Tell him we expect to have proof of Wilson's innocence.

Right.

This is it.

You do the talking.

Yes?

My name's Ellen Summers. May I come in?

No, you can't. I'm busy.

But I used to live here.

There's no reason to try and force your way into my apartment.

Look, I've left something there.

Then it won't be here now. Good day.

Did you push me, young woman?

What's happened the piece is not there in the wallpaper to it. It's all changed

I look here you get out of here. I'll call for the police

Understand

where was the fireplace right there

You see, it's been bricked up.

Now, where exactly did you hide the film?

Well, just above the mantelpiece. There was a tear in the wallpaper.

Police? I want you to come round to my apartment right away.

Well, I've got a mad woman here.

Wellington Court. Oh, do hurry up, please.

When you redecorated, did you strip off the old wallpaper?

Wallpaper? Yes. Tell me quickly.

You mean that terrible flower stuff?

Well, I... I papered over it.

Good.

The old wallpaper is still underneath.

Here it is.

Oh, please, we didn't mean to frighten you. There's nothing to be afraid of.

It's Mr. Brady.

You know, the invisible man.

Can I get you a glass of water?

No. No, no, just get out of here, please.

There you are. That's George Wilson standing on the right. You can see the

announcement board behind him.

I couldn't identify anyone from this.

We'll have to get a print and quick.

Here, put it in your pocket.

Now run downstairs and tell Dee to turn the car around.

Oh, no, you don't. You're staying here till the police come. Go along. Leave it

to me.

I must apologize for having troubled you, ma'am.

There.

The picture will hide the cut for the time being.

It slipped!

Half of it spilled!

Never mind. Come on, quick!

I'll have a decorator come round and make a proper job of it tomorrow.

Thank you.

Ellen!

Lee!

What's the matter?

Have you seen Ellen?

No, I was phoning.

She's disappeared again.

Why did you go back to your old apartment?

I don't know.

Was it to get that negative?

That picture of Wilson at the races?

No.

Such.

I'll take over, Constable. I'm a doctor.

Help me lift her into my car. Just a minute, sir. We'll wait for the

ambulance, if you don't mind.

I told you, Constable, I'm a doctor. Then why was she running away from you,

sir? She's a mental case. Now, come on, give me a hand. No, sir. She's not going

to be moved until the ambulance arrives.

Well? The police still have no news of her.

There's only one thing for it. I must go and see Sir Charles.

He's expecting to hear from you. He said he'd be in all evening. But I told him

you'd have the evidence.

Never mind. Let's go.

Sir Charles.

Sir Charles, wake up.

It's me, Peter Brady.

Brady? I've given you up. There's new evidence in the Wilson case.

Yes, I know. Your sister told me. I want you to call your chief right away. He

must stop the execution.

Very well, but give me the facts.

There's a photograph which proves Wilson's alibi. He was on the race

course at the time of the murder.

How did you know that this was taken that day?

Because you can see the board with the names of the runners.

Well, then let me see this picture.

Well, I don't have it.

Well, who has? A girl named Ellen Summers.

Yes, but I must see it. You can't. She's disappeared. The police are searching

for her. I think she's been abducted.

Abducted? By whom?

Dr. Trevor. He runs a mental home.

I've just been down and searched it. They weren't there.

Now, look here, Brady.

What sort of a story is this to tell the Home Secretary?

Wilson's life is at stake. Yes, I know, I know. But the Home Secretary has got

to see the evidence before he can take any action.

But I've seen it.

Did you recognize Wilson?

Well, it was only the negative.

Then at least call the police and see if there's any news yet. Use your

influence. Ask them to intensify the search.

Okay.

He must stop the execution.

There's less than six hours to go.

How is she? She's going to be all right, but she's still unconscious.

You must let me know the moment she comes to. I have to speak to her. I've

already told you, Doctor, you can't see her without the permission of the house

surgeon.

It's dawn already, and they haven't found her yet.

Yes,

Sir Charles speaking.

What?

They found her.

We'll be right over.

Come on, Sir Charles.

Constable, you'll want it on the telephone.

Right.

Ellen.

Ellen. Now relax. You're going to be all right.

Where am I? In hospital, Ellen.

Now think.

Why did you go back to your old apartment?

For the negative.

Where is it now, Ellen?

I can't remember.

Doctor! What are you doing here?

She's conscious. I heard her, so I came in.

I'm afraid I must ask you to leave.

She's my patient nurse. I insist on staying with her. I have my

instructions, Doctor.

Very well.

I shall have to call someone to put you out.

Now, Ellen.

Just tell me.

And I'll let you go to sleep again.

In my shoe.

I must ask you to leave this room immediately, sir.

Very well, if you insist.

I've no choice.

I want to see one of your patients, Ellen Summons.

Yes, sir. Just wait a minute, sir.

For now.

Oh, no, you don't.

Arrest this man, officer.

There are serious charges against him regarding the Wilson case.

You'd better come with me, sir.

Here's your proof, Sir Charles.

You must get it printed right away and take it to the Home Secretary.

Now, come on, get moving. You haven't much time. I promised Wilson he wouldn't

hang.

George Wilson, it is my... Governor!

Governor! It's Brady.

Haven't you heard from the Home Secretary?

Brady? What are you doing here?

What about the reprieve? There is no reprieve. You promised, Brady.

But there's new evidence. The Home Secretary must have had it by now.

I would have been informed.

You've got to wait.

But it's two minutes to eight.

All right.

I'll call the Commissioner.

Get me the Commissioner immediately, please.

Oh, Commissioner, got out here, sir.

Is there any question of a reprieve for George Wilson?

Thank you.

Well?

The Commissioner spoke to Home Secretary only half an hour ago.

There is no reprieve.

Take him out. Sorry, Governor, but I can't let this happen.

They're going to stay in there until we hear from the Home Secretary.

I'm sure he'll give Wilson a reprieve.

Brady, give me those keys.

Governor, it's the Home Secretary for you.

Yes, sir.

Got out here, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, yes.

I understand, sir.

Thank you.

Release him.

Dr. Trevor has made a full confession.

The mental home was a racket.

The police inspector discovered this, and that's why Trevor murdered him.

George Wilson, you will have a free pardon.

Brady.

Brady, where are you?

I'm here.

Thank you.

Thank you, Brady.

You're very welcome.
