00:01:54Ladies and gentlemen, with your kind attention and permission,
00:01:59I have the honour of presenting to you one of the most remarkable men in the world.
00:02:05How remarkable?
00:02:07He's sweaty.
00:02:10And can you be surprised at that, gentlemen?
00:02:12Every day he commits to memory 50 new facts
00:02:17and remembers every one of them.
00:02:19Facts from history, from geography, from newspapers, from scientific books.
00:02:24Millions and millions of them.
00:02:26Think of the strain involved by his prodigious feet.
00:02:30His feet ain't half as big as yours, Cully.
00:02:34I'm referring to his feats of memory.
00:02:36Oh.
00:02:38Test him, please.
00:02:39Ladies and gentlemen, ask him your questions
00:02:42and he will answer you fully and freely.
00:02:45Mr. Memory.
00:02:50I also add, ladies and gentlemen, before retiring,
00:02:54that Mr. Memory has left his brain to the British Museum.
00:02:59Hooray!
00:03:05A question, please. Ladies first.
00:03:07Where's my old man been since last Saturday?
00:03:09On the moon, in Kwan.

00:03:27Am I right, sir?
00:03:28Right.
00:03:29What won in 1936?
00:03:31You come back in 1937 and I'll tell you, sir.
00:03:35How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:03:37What won the cup in 1926?
00:03:40Cup? Waterloo, football, Ortiza.
00:03:42Football, silly.
00:03:44What year did Chelsea win it?
00:03:4663 B.C. in the presence of the emperor Nero.
00:03:49What causes crippling paltry?
00:03:52Shh. Don't make yourself so common.
00:03:54Well, our pals have got it, haven't they?
00:03:58How many races did Nick the Miller win?
00:04:01How old is my wife?
00:04:04Who was the last British heavyweight champion of the world?
00:04:07Henry VIII, my old woman.
00:04:12Bob Fitzsimmons.
00:04:13He defeated Jim Corbett, heavyweight champion of America
00:04:16at Carson City, Nevada in October 1897.
00:04:20He was then 34 years of age, sir.
00:04:22Am I right, sir?
00:04:23How old is my wife?
00:04:25I know, sir, but I never tell a lady's age.
00:04:29Next, please.
00:04:30Next, please.
00:04:31How old is my wife?
00:04:33What causes crippling paltry?
00:04:36How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:04:39Miss Winnihu, sir?
00:04:40How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?
00:04:42Ah, a gentleman from Canada.
00:04:44You're welcome, sir.
00:04:46Winnipeg, the third city of Canada
00:04:48and the capital of the province of Manitoba.
00:04:51Distance from Montreal, 1,424 miles.
00:04:55Am I right, sir?
00:04:56Quite right.
00:04:57Next, please.
00:04:58How old is my wife?
00:04:59Of course, that is a very historic fact.
00:05:01How old is my wife?
00:05:08How old is my wife?
00:05:20How old is my wife?
00:05:23Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:05:25Please, do not atone.
00:05:29Hey, kid!
00:05:31Oh, one more, and we'll get you.
00:05:34One more, and we'll get you.
00:05:36Go, go.
00:05:37Go.
00:05:38Hey!
00:05:39Come on!
00:05:40Hey, come on!
00:05:41Say, for God's sake, let me go!
00:05:42I'll give you a hand.
00:05:43Hey!
00:05:44Hey, come on!
00:05:45Say it.
00:05:46For God's sake, play something now.
00:05:47Something funny.
00:05:48Come on.
00:05:49Now, you've got to play something.
00:05:50Come on.
00:05:51Now.
00:05:52Come on.
00:05:53Now.
00:05:54Now.
00:05:55Now.
00:05:56Now.
00:05:57Now.
00:05:58Now.
00:05:59Now.
00:06:00Now.
00:06:01Now.
00:06:02Now.
00:06:03Now.
00:06:04Now.
00:06:05Now.
00:06:06Now.
00:06:07Now.
00:06:08Now.

00:06:10Now.
00:06:11Now.
00:06:12Now.
00:06:13Now.
00:06:14Now.
00:06:15Well, here we are.
00:06:18May I come home with you?
00:06:23What's the idea?
00:06:27Well, I'd like to.
00:06:30It's your funeral.
00:06:32Come on then, there's a bus.
00:06:58You don't stay here always?
00:07:00No, I've taken a furnished flat. I'm only over here from Canada for a few months.
00:07:04By the way, am I allowed to know your name?
00:07:09Smith.
00:07:11All right.
00:07:19Do you want to know more about me? What do you think I do for a living?
00:07:23Actress?
00:07:24Not in the way you mean.
00:07:26Horace?
00:07:27No.
00:07:28I'm sorry.
00:07:29I'm a freelance.
00:07:30Out for adventure, eh?
00:07:31That's right.
00:07:32This way.
00:07:33I'm afraid you'll find my sitting room all upset.
00:07:35I've had the decorators in. Wait till I find the suite.
00:07:37Not yet.
00:07:51Now.
00:07:56Mr. Hannay, would you be so very kind and turn that mirror with its face to the wall?
00:08:18You'd be happier if there were curtains over those windows.
00:08:20Yes.
00:08:21I'm sorry.
00:08:23Hello, there's the telephone.
00:08:25Just a minute.
00:08:28Mr. Hannay, don't answer the telephone.
00:08:30Why not?
00:08:31Because I think it's for me.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:34Please don't answer.
00:08:37Just as you say.
00:08:41Won't you sit down?
00:08:42Thanks.
00:08:43If you'll please kick that footstool over to me.
00:08:45Won't you please kick that footstool over to me?
00:09:07You needed that.
00:09:09I did.
00:09:16I owe you an explanation.
00:09:18Well, don't bother about me. I'm nobody.
00:09:22We cannot talk here.
00:09:26All right.
00:09:39Just a minute.
00:09:46Okay?
00:09:47Mm-hmm.
00:09:50Cigarette?
00:09:51No, thank you.
00:09:56Your friend again.
00:09:57Take no notice.
00:10:16Would you think me very troublesome if I asked for something to eat?
00:10:19I've had nothing all day.
00:10:21Sure.
00:10:27You like Hennigan's?
00:10:28Yes, please.
00:10:30I suppose your name isn't really Smith.
00:10:32Depends on where I am.
00:10:34You may call me Annabella.
00:10:36Annabella Smith.
00:10:37Judgement's daughter, I suppose.
00:10:39Hello, Nervy.
00:10:40Upset with those shots tonight?
00:10:43I fired those shots.
00:10:45You what?
00:10:46Yes, to create a diversion.
00:10:48You see, I had to get away from the theatre quickly.
00:10:51There were two men there who wanted to kill me.
00:10:55Really, you should be more careful in choosing your gentleman friends.
00:10:58No, no, no, you don't understand.
00:11:00Well, you don't make it very easy for me, do you?
00:11:02Beautiful, mysterious woman.
00:11:04I don't know what you're talking about.
00:11:06Well, you don't make it very easy for me, do you?
00:11:08Beautiful, mysterious woman pursued by gunmen.
00:11:11Sounds like a spy story.
00:11:13It's exactly what it is.
00:11:15Only I prefer the word agent better.
00:11:18Agent?
00:11:19For what country?
00:11:20Any country that pays me.
00:11:21Now, what is your country?
00:11:23I have no country.
00:11:25Born in the balloon, eh?
00:11:26Well, let that go.
00:11:29Now, I suppose you've come over here to dig up some great big state secret.
00:11:33No, I'm here to save a secret from being dug up.
00:11:36A very important secret for this country.
00:11:39Not because I love England, but because it will pay me better that way.
00:11:44You see, the very brilliant agent of a certain foreign power
00:11:48is on the point of obtaining a secret vital to your air defence.
00:11:53I tracked two of his men to that musical.
00:11:56Unfortunately, they recognised me.
00:11:58That's why they're after me now.
00:11:59That was too bad.
00:12:01You ever heard of a thing called persecution mania?
00:12:04You don't believe me?
00:12:05Frankly, I don't.
00:12:07Go and look down into the street there.
00:12:32You win.
00:12:34Are they there?
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:37I hoped I'd shaken them off.
00:12:41Listen, I'm going to tell you something which is not very healthy to know.
00:12:45But now that they have followed me here,
00:12:48you are in it as much as I am.
00:12:50How do you mean?
00:12:52Have you ever heard of the so-called persecution mania?
00:12:56No.
00:12:57How do you mean?
00:12:59Have you ever heard of the 39 Steps?
00:13:02No. What's that? A pub?
00:13:04Never mind.
00:13:06But what you were laughing at just now is true.
00:13:10These men will stick at nothing.
00:13:12I'm the only person who can stop them.
00:13:14If they are not stopped, it's only a matter of days, perhaps hours,
00:13:18before the secret is out of the country.
00:13:20Well, why don't you phone the police or something?
00:13:22Because they wouldn't believe me any more than you did.
00:13:25And if they did, how long do you think it would take to get them going?
00:13:29These men act quickly.
00:13:31You don't know how clever their chief is.
00:13:34Clever and thoughtless.
00:13:36Who is he? What's his name?
00:13:38He has a dozen names.
00:13:40He can look like a hundred people.
00:13:42But one thing he cannot disguise.
00:13:45This.
00:13:47Part of his little finger is missing.
00:13:49So if ever you should meet a man with no top joint there,
00:13:53be very careful, my friend.
00:13:55Thanks. I'll make a note of it.
00:13:57Meanwhile, what are you going to do?
00:13:59First I'll eat my haddock.
00:14:01And then, if you're not going to turn me out into the street,
00:14:05have a good night's rest.
00:14:07Oh, you're welcome to my bed.
00:14:09I'll get a shake down on the couch.
00:14:12Anything else I can get you?
00:14:14A map of Scotland.
00:14:16Why Scotland?
00:14:18There's a man in Scotland whom I must visit next,
00:14:21if anything is to be done.
00:14:25Are there 39 steps in Scotland, by any chance?
00:14:29Perhaps I'll tell you tomorrow.
00:14:48Clear out, Henry.
00:14:50They'll get you next.
00:15:18What you were laughing at just now is true.
00:15:45These men will stop at nothing.
00:16:15There is a man in Scotland whom I must visit next,
00:16:31if anything is to be done.
00:16:33It is only a matter of days, perhaps hours,
00:16:39before the secret is out of the country.
00:16:44The police would not believe me any more than you did.
00:16:50I tell you, these men act quickly.
00:16:55Quickly.
00:16:57Quickly.
00:17:13Quickly.
00:17:42Good morning, sir.
00:17:43You're up bright and early this morning.
00:17:48Could you use a pound note, brother?
00:17:50What's the catch?
00:17:51I want to borrow your capital coat.
00:17:53Yeah, wait a minute.
00:17:54What's all this?
00:17:55What's the big idea?
00:17:56I want to make a getaway.
00:17:57To a bunk?
00:17:58Yes.
00:17:59What have you been up to?
00:18:01I'll have to trust you.
00:18:02There's been a murder committed up on the first floor.
00:18:05By you?
00:18:06No, no.
00:18:07By those two men out there.
00:18:09I see.
00:18:10Now I suppose they're waiting there as good as gold
00:18:12for a copper to come and arrest them.
00:18:13It's quite true.
00:18:14Listen, they're spies, foreigners.
00:18:16They've murdered a woman in my flat,
00:18:17and now they're waiting for me.
00:18:19Oh, come off it.
00:18:20Funny jokes at five o'clock in the morning.
00:18:22All right, all right.
00:18:23I'll tell you the truth.
00:18:26You married?
00:18:27Yes, but don't rub it in.
00:18:29What's the idea now?
00:18:30Well, I'm not, you see.
00:18:31I'm a bachelor.
00:18:32Oh, are you?
00:18:33A married woman lives on the first floor.
00:18:35And I'm a bachelor.
00:18:37Oh, are you?
00:18:38A married woman lives on the first floor.
00:18:40Does she?
00:18:41Yes, and I've just been paying her a call.
00:18:46And now I want to go home.
00:18:48Well, what's preventing you?
00:18:49One of those men's her brother.
00:18:50The other's her husband.
00:18:52How do you see?
00:18:53Why didn't you tell me before, old fellow?
00:18:55I only wanted to be told.
00:18:56Trying to keep me with a lot of tales
00:18:58about murders and foreigners.
00:18:59Here, put this on.
00:19:00Put on my little hat.
00:19:01There you are.
00:19:02I beg your pardon.
00:19:03No, no, no, sir.
00:19:04You're welcome to it.
00:19:05You'll do the same for me one day.
00:19:08Leave the pony around the corner.
00:19:12So long, old sport.
00:19:13Goodbye, thank you.
00:19:19Oi!
00:19:20The empties!
00:19:21Oh.
00:19:32Peers, magazines, chocolates, cigarettes.
00:19:38Violet, please!
00:19:52There he is.
00:20:12Well, for one thing,
00:20:13they're much prettier than they were 20 years ago.
00:20:15More free.
00:20:16Free and easy.
00:20:17You're right there.
00:20:18I can never understand
00:20:19how people used to put up with the old-fashioned sort.
00:20:21All bones and no pen.
00:20:23Well, I will say, for the old-fashioned,
00:20:24they didn't last longer.
00:20:25Why, I don't know.
00:20:26Mine last about a year.
00:20:27Here, I'll show you.
00:20:29Big demand for these now.
00:20:34The old-fashioned sort.
00:20:35Brr, my wife.
00:20:37Now take a look at these.
00:20:39Our new streamlined model number one.
00:20:41What I've been talking to you about.
00:20:43Anything go with it?
00:20:44I should say so.
00:20:45This.
00:20:48Put a pretty girl inside those.
00:20:49She needn't be ashamed of herself anyway.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:52Bring it back to me when it's filled.
00:20:53I will.
00:20:55Hello, what's this?
00:20:56Edinburgh.
00:20:57Waverley.
00:20:58We're getting on.
00:20:59I hope you'll pardon us for talking business, sir.
00:21:01Oh, certainly.
00:21:02Certainly.
00:21:05Good day, sir.
00:21:06Good day.
00:21:13Broad-minded old geezer.
00:21:14I bet he's very good at charade.
00:21:17I wonder what won the two o'clock at Windsor.
00:21:19I don't know.
00:21:20Let's get a paper.
00:21:25Hey, son.
00:21:26Speaking to English?
00:21:27Dispatch.
00:21:35Hello.
00:21:36Well, what won it?
00:21:37There's been another woman murdered in the West End flat.
00:21:39What?
00:21:40Woman murdered in West End flat.
00:21:42Ah, these sex dramas don't appeal to me.
00:21:44What won?
00:21:45Good.
00:21:467 to 4 o'clock.
00:21:47Oh, not so good.

00:21:51That's a nice, quiet place to put someone to sleep.
00:21:53Good night, everybody.
00:21:54Good night.
00:21:55That's a good one.
00:21:57What was she like?
00:21:58One of the usual?
00:21:59A well-dressed woman of about 35 with a knife in her back.
00:22:03The tenant, Richard Haney, is missing.
00:22:05You surprise me.
00:22:08At 7 o'clock this morning, the charwoman, Elizabeth Briggs...
00:22:12Well, if that isn't the blasted...
00:22:13What's the matter now?
00:22:14Is there no honesty in this world at all?
00:22:16I ask you.

00:23:02Evening, Mr. Pratt. Evening, Mr. Pratt.
00:23:07Evening, Mr. Pratt. Evening, Mr. Pratt.
00:23:12Worse than his bike.
00:23:17There's enough evidence there to hang any man.
00:23:21What can I do for you, sir?
00:23:24Can you tell me what train station that train stops at next?
00:23:27Do you think I have a railway porter?
00:23:29Go in and find out for yourself.
00:23:37I could have a better one than that present one.
00:23:39Well, you couldn't. That was very funny.
00:23:41Well, you likely did.
00:23:42Have you heard the one about the young lady of Hong Kong?
00:23:44Why do you know? I can't remember.
00:23:45Oh, you must hear that.
00:23:47There was a young lady of Hong Kong.
00:23:48Yes, we...
00:23:54Take him, please, sir.
00:24:24Darling, how lovely to see you.
00:24:42Where is he?
00:24:51Don't mind having a free meal in there.
00:24:55I was desperate. I'm terribly sorry.
00:24:56I had to do it.
00:24:57Look here, my name's Handy.
00:24:58They're after me.
00:24:59I swear I'm innocent.
00:25:00You've got to help me.
00:25:01I've got to keep free for the next few days.
00:25:04Well, you see the man passing in the last few minutes.
00:25:08This is the man you want, I think.
00:25:12When we passed just now...
00:25:13He came in here and told me his name was Handy.
00:25:15Is your name Handy?
00:25:16No.
00:25:17Are you coming in for tea, sir?
00:25:18I'll be right along.
00:25:30Pull that cord.
00:25:57Get on with it, will you?
00:26:17Here, here.
00:26:18What for did you pull the communication cord?
00:26:20To stop the train, you old fool.
00:26:21It's against all the regulations to stop the train on the bridge.
00:26:24But a man jumped down.
00:26:25He's a murderer. We've got to take him.
00:26:26Which way did he go?
00:26:27He must have jumped off here.
00:26:28I've got to see him.
00:26:29Are you sure he jumped?
00:26:30Anyway, I can't wait here any longer.
00:26:31Here he is, getting on the train.
00:26:33No, that's the passenger.
00:26:34It's he, I tell you.
00:26:35Come on, will you then?
00:26:36Handy, escape, five o'clock.
00:26:58Five o'clock.
00:27:12Height, about five foot ten.
00:27:15Small moustache.
00:27:17Last seen wearing a dark suit.
00:27:20He may have obtained a change of clothing.
00:27:49Good day.
00:27:59And to you.
00:28:02What will your business be?
00:28:03I'm a motor mechanic.
00:28:04I'm looking for a job.
00:28:05You'll find no work about here.
00:28:06Oh, are there no big houses around here?
00:28:08Only Sir Andrews, and he won't be wanting you.
00:28:10He's had the same chauffeur for 40 years.
00:28:12I didn't know there'd been cars that long.
00:28:13He was coachman besides when he was a boy.
00:28:15Oh, I see.
00:28:17Oh, what's that?
00:28:19That's the manse that the minister has now got a motor car.
00:28:22Are there no newcomers?
00:28:24Aye, there's an Englishman, a kind of professor.
00:28:27Professor?
00:28:28He lives at Ardnashelloch.
00:28:29Where?
00:28:30Ardnashelloch, on the other side of the loch.
00:28:32Oh, would there be anywhere near that village?
00:28:34It would.
00:28:36Thanks.
00:28:37Thanks, I'll try there.
00:28:38You won't try tonight.
00:28:39It's 14 miles.
00:28:41You could get a lift in that van.
00:28:43No.
00:28:44Down the other way.
00:28:53I guess you're right.
00:28:55Could you put me up for the night somehow?
00:28:57Free?
00:28:58No, I'll pay.
00:28:59Aye.
00:29:00Can you eat the herring?
00:29:01I can eat half a dozen right now.
00:29:03Can you sleep in a box bed?
00:29:04I can try.
00:29:05Two and six.
00:29:06Take it now.
00:29:10Go in with the gentleman.
00:29:12He'll stay with us till tomorrow morning.
00:29:15Your daughter?
00:29:18My wife.
00:29:25Will you now come in?
00:29:36Here's your bed.
00:29:38I'll lift these things.
00:29:42Could you sleep there, do you think?
00:29:44You try and stop me.
00:29:46You'll be tired.
00:29:49I'll say I am.
00:29:51I'm on the tramp looking for a job.
00:29:53Won't you sit down, please, while I go on with our supper?
00:29:56Oh, thank you.
00:30:13Have you been in these parts long?
00:30:15No.
00:30:16I'm from Glasgow.
00:30:18Did you ever see it?
00:30:20No.
00:30:21Oh, you should see Stocky Hall Street with all its fine shops.
00:30:25And Argyle Street on a Saturday night,
00:30:28with the trams and the lights
00:30:30and the cinema palaces and the crowd.
00:30:33It's Saturday night tonight.
00:30:35You certainly don't get those things out here.
00:30:37No, I don't.
00:30:40You miss them?
00:30:42Sometimes.
00:30:44Well, I've never been to Glasgow,
00:30:45but I've been to Edinburgh and Montreal and London.
00:30:48I'll tell you all about London at supper.
00:30:51John wouldn't approve of that, I doubt.
00:30:53Why not?
00:30:54He says it's best not to think of such places
00:30:57and all the wickedness that goes on there.
00:30:59Well, why not listen now, before he comes back?
00:31:02No, I don't want to.
00:31:04I don't want to.
00:31:07Well, why not listen now, before he comes back?
00:31:10What do you want to know?
00:31:13Well, is it true that all the ladies paint their toenails?
00:31:16Some of them.
00:31:18Do London ladies look beautiful?
00:31:20They do.
00:31:21But they wouldn't if you were beside them.
00:31:23You ought not to say that.
00:31:25What ought he not to say?
00:31:27I was just saying to your wife
00:31:29that I prefer living in town than the country.
00:31:32God made the country.
00:31:37Is the supper ready, woman?
00:31:39You mind if I have a look at your paper?
00:31:42No, I don't mind.
00:32:02You didn't tell me your name.
00:32:04You didn't tell me your name.
00:32:06Oh, Hammond.
00:32:08Well, Mr. Hammond, if you'll put down that paper,
00:32:11I'll say a blessing.
00:32:12Yes, George.
00:32:18Sanctify these bounteous mercies to us miserable sinners.
00:32:23O Lord, make us truly thankful for them
00:32:27and for all thy manifold blessings.
00:32:31And continually turn our hearts from wickedness
00:32:36and from worldly things
00:32:40unto thee.
00:32:44Amen.
00:32:51I mind I forgot to lock the barn.
00:34:01There are cows coming.
00:34:03That'll be the police. You'd best be going.
00:34:05Thank you. I don't think they should grab me.
00:34:07Hurry up. Don't let them catch you.
00:34:09I'm ready. I'll never forget you for doing this for me.
00:34:11Which way do I go?
00:34:13I'll show you.
00:34:14Aye.
00:34:16How might I know?
00:34:18Make and lock the barn.
00:34:20I'll show you.
00:34:22I'll show you.
00:34:24I'll show you.
00:34:26I'll show you.
00:34:29Make and lock behind my back.
00:34:34Get out.
00:34:35Just a minute.
00:34:36Aye, and you too.
00:34:37Get out of my house before I...
00:34:38Aye, go, go.
00:34:39And leave you like this, no fear.
00:34:40It's your chance of liberty.
00:34:41Look here, you don't understand.
00:34:46Look here, you're all wrong about this.
00:34:47You're only trying to help me.
00:34:48Aye, to bring shame and disgrace upon my host.
00:34:50You're telling me to escape from the police.
00:34:53The police is the police.
00:34:54They're after me for murder.
00:34:55What?
00:34:56They're here.
00:34:57You've got to warn me.
00:34:58I had to tell her about it last night.
00:35:00Don't let them in.
00:35:01Say I'm not here.
00:35:02I'll make it worth your while.
00:35:03How much?
00:35:04Five pounds.
00:35:05Have you got that much?
00:35:06Give it to me.
00:35:07What have they got?
00:35:09Get back into bed.
00:35:10Shut them in.
00:35:11Hide them.
00:35:14Not there.
00:35:15I didn't trust him.
00:35:16But he took the money.
00:35:17He couldn't have resisted.
00:35:18Here.
00:35:23Have you seen the stranger over here?
00:35:28I was right.
00:35:30He's asking if there's a reward if you get catched.
00:35:34He'll argue about it for a moment longer before he lets them in.
00:35:36Now's your time.
00:35:38Oh, your jacket's terrible light-coloured.
00:35:40And I fear they'll see you.
00:35:43You best take this one.
00:35:44Is this your husband's coat?
00:35:45Aye, his Sunday best one.
00:35:46But never mind.
00:35:48They mustn't see you.
00:35:49What'll happen to you?
00:35:50Oh, I say, I couldn't have stopped you.
00:35:51He'll treat you.
00:35:52No.
00:35:53He'll pray at me, but no more.
00:35:54What's your name?
00:35:55Margaret.
00:35:56Let me get you to this.
00:35:57Come on.
00:36:25There he goes.
00:36:28Come on.
00:36:35Spread out in a line.
00:36:57Come on.
00:37:27Come on.
00:37:58He's the master, isn't he?
00:37:59What name shall I say, sir?
00:38:00Well, he wouldn't know my name.
00:38:01Ask him if he knows Miss Annabella Smith.
00:38:03Would you wait here for a while, I'll come.
00:38:04Yes, come on.
00:38:13You'd better make him quiet in here.
00:38:15Aye.
00:38:16You may as well see him through the windows.
00:38:18That does mean a couple of things.
00:38:19First of all, he's a good man.
00:38:20He's a good man.
00:38:21He's a good man.
00:38:22He's a good man.
00:38:23He's a good man.
00:38:24He's a good man.
00:38:25He's a good man.
00:38:26That does mean a couple of motorcars here.
00:38:28Aye.
00:38:29Margaret didn't pay calls in motorcars.
00:38:32Good day to you.
00:38:33The same to you.
00:38:34Have you seen any strangers about this morning?
00:38:36There's a few callers upstairs now, but they're no strangers.
00:38:39You haven't seen any suspicious looking bodies outside the windows or cawing at the hoose?
00:38:44No, sir.
00:38:45There hasn't been anybody near here for the last half hour.
00:38:50You're from Annabella Smith?
00:38:52Yes.
00:38:54We're just having a few drinks to celebrate my daughter Hillary's birthday.
00:38:57Give me five minutes to get rid of these people, then we can talk.
00:38:59Of course.
00:39:00Come along in and meet my wife.
00:39:01Louisa, my dear.
00:39:02I have another guest for you.
00:39:03This is Mr...
00:39:04I forgot to ask your name.
00:39:06Hammond.
00:39:07Mr. Hammond.
00:39:08He's come to see me on business.
00:39:09All the way from London.
00:39:10There's a police inspector at the door, sir.
00:39:12He wants to speak to you.
00:39:13At the door.
00:39:17All right.
00:39:18All right.
00:39:19I'll deal with him.
00:39:20Take him in, my dear, will you please?
00:39:21Come and meet my daughter.
00:39:22This is Patricia.
00:39:25Mrs. Bailey.
00:39:26Mrs. Huntley.
00:39:27Oh, Hillary, my dear.
00:39:28This is Mr...
00:39:29Hammond.
00:39:30Mr. Hammond.
00:39:31He's just arrived from London.
00:39:32How do you do, Mr. Hammond?
00:39:33Forgive the orgy, but we've all been to church,
00:39:35and the sermon lasts for three quarters of an hour.
00:39:37This is Captain and Mrs. Ogilvy.
00:39:39Have a drink, Mr. Hammond.
00:39:41This is Derek.
00:39:42Derek Stewart.
00:39:44And this is Sheriff Watson.
00:39:46You've got to be polite to him.
00:39:47He's our sheriff's substitute.
00:39:49Scotch for local beef.
00:39:50He'll give you six months hard as soon as he looks at you.
00:39:55It's all right.
00:39:56Don't worry.
00:39:57I've sent them away.
00:39:58Come and look at the view from this window, Mr. Hammond.
00:40:04We're rather proud of him.
00:40:11By the way, Sheriff,
00:40:12when are you going to catch that murderer?
00:40:13Murderer?
00:40:14What murderer?
00:40:15My dear, haven't you heard?
00:40:16Why, the man that stuck a carving knife
00:40:17into that woman in Portland Place last week.
00:40:19Yeah, in the district.
00:40:20Darling, how exciting.
00:40:21Where?
00:40:22Oh, somewhere about.
00:40:23He's been on the moors.
00:40:24Bridge of Orkney or somewhere.
00:40:25Sheriff Angel, why don't you catch him?
00:40:27You wouldn't like me to be stuck in the back
00:40:28with a carving knife, would you?
00:40:30Oh, it's no business of mine to catch him.
00:40:31You catch him, but I'll convict him.
00:40:33Is there a reward?
00:40:34Gracious, it's nearly one o'clock.
00:40:35Jim, we must get out of here.
00:40:37Professor wants his lunch.
00:40:38There's no hurry, my dear.
00:40:39Still, if you must go.
00:40:40Pat!
00:40:42A ring for Captain Ogilvy's car, will you?
00:40:44Sheriff, I'll take you with me.
00:40:46Would you like anything?
00:40:47A big stew.
00:40:54Well, whenever you do catch him,
00:40:55inquire me at the Sheriff's Court at 10 every morning.
00:40:57So bring him along.
00:40:58Good-bye, Sheriff.
00:41:02Louisa, my dear.
00:41:03If you'll excuse us, Mr. Hammond and I
00:41:05want to have a chat before lunch.
00:41:15Now, Mr. Hannay,
00:41:17I suppose it's safe to call you by your real name now?
00:41:22What about our mutual friend, Annabella?
00:41:24She's been murdered.
00:41:25Murdered?
00:41:27Oh, the Portland Mansions affair.
00:41:29What are our friends outside looking for you for?
00:41:31I didn't do it.
00:41:32Of course you didn't.
00:41:35But why come all this way to Scotland to tell me about it?
00:41:38I believe she was coming to see you
00:41:39about some air ministry secret.
00:41:41She was killed by a foreign agent who was interested, too.
00:41:45Did she tell you what the foreign agent looked like?
00:41:47There wasn't time.
00:41:48No, there was one thing.
00:41:49Part of his little finger was missing.
00:41:50Which one?
00:41:51This one, I think.
00:41:53You're sure it wasn't this one?
00:42:12Lunch is ready, dear.
00:42:13I'm coming right away.
00:42:17Well, Mr. Hannay,
00:42:19I'm afraid I've been guilty of leading you down the garden path.
00:42:23Or should it be up?
00:42:24I never can remember.
00:42:26It seems to be the wrong garden, all right.
00:42:30Well,
00:42:32what are we going to do about it?
00:42:34That's just the point.
00:42:35What are we going to do about it?
00:42:37You see, I live here as a respectable citizen,
00:42:40and you must realize that my whole existence would be jeopardized
00:42:44if it became known that I'm not,
00:42:46what shall we say,
00:42:47not what I seem.
00:42:49Oh, Mr. Hannay, why have you come here?
00:42:52Why have you forced me into this difficult position?
00:42:56I can't lock you up in a room or anything like that.
00:42:59You see, there's my wife and daughters to think of.
00:43:01I can't lock you up in a room or anything like that.
00:43:04You see, there's my wife and daughters to think of.
00:43:07I don't know what to think.
00:43:09Really, I don't.
00:43:11What makes it doubly important that I shouldn't let you go is
00:43:15that I'm just about to
00:43:17convey some very vital information out of the country.
00:43:21Oh, yes, I've got it.
00:43:23I'm afraid poor Annabella would have been too late in any case.
00:43:31Well, that's fair.
00:43:33Yes.
00:43:34And what about it?
00:43:35What about what?
00:43:36About yourself.
00:43:37Seems to me there's only one way out.
00:43:39What's that?
00:43:44Supposing I left you alone with this revolver.
00:43:49Tomorrow's newspapers would be able to announce
00:43:51that the Portland Place murderer had taken his own life.
00:43:54I thought you were coming to lunch directly, dear.
00:43:56We've all been waiting.
00:43:58Mr. Hammond be staying?
00:43:59I don't think so, dear.
00:44:03Well?
00:44:04What do you think, Mr. Hannay?
00:44:14Well, I'm afraid you leave me no alternative.
00:44:24I can't find my handbook.
00:44:27Where did you leave it?
00:44:29In the breast pocket of my overcoat.
00:44:30It was hung in here.
00:44:31Oh.
00:44:33John, I...
00:44:35I'm afraid I gave it to that gentleman
00:44:37who was staying here that night.
00:44:45Cigarette cases, yes,
00:44:46but I've never seen it happen to a handbook before
00:44:48except on the movies.
00:44:49And this bullet stuck among the hymns, eh?
00:44:51Well, I'm not surprised, Mr. Hannay.
00:44:53Some of those hymns are terrible hard to get through.
00:44:55I've stuck at them myself before now, eh?
00:44:58I'm not complaining, sir.
00:45:00The hymns that have helped me, eh?
00:45:02Yes, that's a good one, Mr. Hannay.
00:45:04That's fine.
00:45:05And to think that I was drinking a champagne
00:45:07only half an hour before.
00:45:09Well, it's a lesson to us all, Mr. Hannay,
00:45:11not to mix with doubtful company on the Sabbath.
00:45:13And, uh, how did you escape?
00:45:15Well, if you look through the window, sir, you'll see.
00:45:17They put the, uh, well, the body in the dressing room.
00:45:21When I came to, I borrowed this suit
00:45:22in case one of his men recognized me
00:45:24and pinched his car.
00:45:26Sheriff, I don't want to hurry you or anything,
00:45:28but oughtn't we to be taking steps?
00:45:30This is serious, you know.
00:45:31If it weren't, you don't suppose I'd put myself in your hands
00:45:33with a murder charge hanging over me?
00:45:35Never heed the murder, Mr. Hannay.
00:45:37I don't doubt you'll be able to convince Scotland Yard
00:45:39of your innocence as easily as you've convinced me.
00:45:42All I'll need will be a short statement
00:45:44that I can forward to the proper authority.
00:45:46Okay.
00:45:47I have someone coming over from the police station next door.
00:45:48Take it down.
00:45:49Thank you, sir.
00:45:53Are you wishing to see me, Sheriff?
00:45:54Indeed I am.
00:45:55Do you think I enjoy playing for time with a murderer?
00:45:59Murderer?
00:46:00Certainly.
00:46:01Hannay, you're under arrest
00:46:02on the charge of willful murder
00:46:04of a woman unknown in Portland Mansions, London,
00:46:07on Tuesday last.
00:46:08Take him over to the county jail.
00:46:09Sheriff, you've heard my story.
00:46:10You must believe it. It's true.
00:46:11I tell you every word of it.
00:46:12Hannay, we are not so daft in Scotland
00:46:13as some smart Londoners may think.
00:46:15Do you think I believed your cock and bull story
00:46:17about the professor?
00:46:18Why, he's my best friend in the district.
00:46:20Give me Professor Jordan.
00:46:21If the professor didn't shoot me,
00:46:22where did that bullet come from?
00:46:23Oh, that's easy.
00:46:24From one of your pursuers on the moor.
00:46:25Isn't that so, Inspector?
00:46:26It is so, sir.
00:46:27I had a shot at him myself.
00:46:28I demand that you allow me to telephone
00:46:29to the High Commissioner for Canada in London.
00:46:31You better do that from London.
00:46:32You'll be there soon enough.
00:46:33It'll save you the cost of a trunk call.
00:46:44That's the professor's car, all right.
00:46:46Hannay must be inside, spilling the beans.
00:46:50Hannay, stop it!
00:46:52My God!
00:46:54Get him!
00:46:56Get him!
00:47:24Oh, how do you do, how do you do?
00:47:46We're all waiting for you.
00:47:48Pamela's gone to meet you at the station.
00:47:50This way, this way.
00:47:51I welcome this opportunity of discussing with you another question vital to the import of
00:48:04our country at this critical and momentous hour, but first of all, as a preliminary to
00:48:11this, I shall occupy your time.
00:48:13You have occupied our much already.
00:48:15But...
00:48:24Ladies and gentlemen, I am now going to call upon the speaker of the evening.
00:48:28Speaker.
00:48:29There is no need for me to tell you who he is, nor to speak of his brilliant record as
00:48:33a soldier in the Statesman.
00:48:35Son of Scotland...
00:48:36Speak out.
00:48:37England conquered England, and is now one of the foremost figures in the diplomatic
00:48:41and political world in the great city of London.
00:48:44I'm therefore going to ask him to tell you something.
00:48:46That's about time, too.
00:48:47We'll wait.
00:48:48We'll all wait.
00:48:49I inform you it is to this constituency that at this crucial by-election our candidate
00:48:54should be returned by an adequate majority.
00:48:57I now ask for Captain Fraser.
00:49:07Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for my hesitation in rising just now, but to tell
00:49:22you the simple truth, I'd entirely failed while listening to the chairman's flattering
00:49:27description of the next speaker to realise he was talking about me.
00:49:32As for you, may I say from the bottom of my heart and with the utmost sincerity how delighted
00:49:39and relieved I am to find myself in your presence at this moment?
00:49:49Delighted because of your friendly reception.
00:49:52Relieved because so long as I stand on this platform, I'm delivered from the cares and
00:50:00anxieties which must always be the lot of a man in my position.
00:50:04When I journeyed up to Scotland a few days ago, travelling on the Highland Express over
00:50:09that magnificent structure, the fourth bridge, that monument to Scottish engineering and
00:50:14Scottish muscle, I had to say on that journey I had no idea that in a few days' time I should
00:50:20find myself addressing an important political meeting.
00:50:22No idea.
00:50:23I'd planned a very different programme for myself.
00:50:26A very different programme.
00:50:28You'd be for the moors to shoot something.
00:50:30Yes, or somebody.
00:50:31I'm a rotten shot.
00:50:34Anyhow, I little thought I should be speaking tonight in support of that brilliant young
00:50:39statesman, that rising, the gentleman on my right, already known among you as one destined
00:50:46to make no uncertain mark in politics.
00:50:49In other words, your future Member of Parliament, your candidate, Mr...
00:50:54Crocodile.
00:50:56He doesn't even know the candidate's name.
00:50:58I know your candidate will forgive my referring to him by the friendly nickname by which he's
00:51:04already known in anticipation, in anticipation mark you, at Westminster.
00:51:12Now, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to discuss some topic.
00:51:15What shall it be?
00:51:16The herring fisheries.
00:51:17Unemployment.
00:51:18What about the idle rich?
00:51:19Idle rich?
00:51:20That's a bit of an old-fashioned topic these days, especially for me because I'm not rich
00:51:24and I've never been idle.
00:51:25I've been pretty busy all my life and I expect to be much busier quite soon.
00:51:29Have you ever won for your heart?
00:51:30Indeed I have, and I've known what it is to feel lonely and helpless and to have the whole
00:51:34world against me.
00:51:35And those are things that no man or woman ought to feel.
00:51:37And I ask your candidate and all those who love their fellow men to set themselves resolutely
00:51:42to make this world a happier place to live in.
00:51:45A world where no nation plots against nation, where no neighbor plots against neighbor,
00:51:49where there is no persecution or hunting down, where everybody gets a square deal and a sporting
00:51:54chance, and where people try to help and not to hinder.
00:51:57A world from which suspicion and cruelty and fear have been forever banished.
00:52:01That is the sort of world I want.
00:52:03That's the sort of world you want.
00:52:08That's all I have to say.
00:52:09Good night.
00:52:15I kept them going as long as I could for you.
00:52:28Well, you're certainly a difficult man to follow.
00:52:36Well, I suppose you think you've been damn clever.
00:52:38Officer, will you tell your prisoner not to insult me, please?
00:52:40You try and stop it.
00:52:41You come along with me.
00:52:42Did you realize I was speaking the truth in that railway carriage?
00:52:44You must have seen I was joking.
00:52:46Well, whether you believe me or not, will you put a telephone call through to the High
00:52:49Commissioner for Canada in London and tell him an enormously important secret...
00:52:52That'll do now.
00:52:53An enormously important secret is being taken out of this country by a foreign agent.
00:52:56I can't do anything myself because of this fool of a detective.
00:52:59Has that penetrated?
00:53:00Right to the funny bone.
00:53:01Now tell me another one.
00:53:03Haven't you any sense at all?
00:53:05Put that call through, I beg of you, and refer them to me.
00:53:08Will you do this?
00:53:10No.
00:53:12I beg pardon, miss, but we should like you to come too.
00:53:14Whatever for?
00:53:15To identify the prisoner formally.
00:53:17Will you come to the police station?
00:53:18What?
00:53:19It's only for a few minutes.
00:53:20All right, if it's absolutely necessary, let's get it over.
00:53:38Now you.
00:53:39Must I sit next to this man?
00:53:40It's only for a short time, miss.
00:53:41Well, be as quick as you can.
00:53:46All right.
00:53:58Isn't that the police station?
00:53:59We're running past it.
00:54:00Tell the man.
00:54:01I'm afraid you must have misunderstood me, miss.
00:54:03We're not exactly going to this police station.
00:54:05Well, where are we going?
00:54:06To Inveraray, miss.
00:54:07Inveraray?
00:54:08Yes, miss.
00:54:09This man's to be questioned by the sheriff principal.
00:54:11We have orders to take him there direct.
00:54:13But you've no orders to take me.
00:54:15No, miss, but I'm afraid you must go.
00:54:17I'll see you're sent back at the earliest possible moment.
00:54:19Well, how far is it to Inveraray?
00:54:21Forty miles.
00:54:22Will you keep quiet?
00:54:23Sorry.
00:54:24We'll be there in less than two hours, miss.
00:54:25Two hours?
00:54:26You think I won't spend half the night with you all?
00:54:27Looks like it.
00:54:39I'm sorry.
00:54:40It's all right.
00:54:41Isn't the man going the wrong way?
00:55:08That's the way down to the south.
00:55:10Surely that's the way to Inveraray.
00:55:11There's a bridge fallen down on that road, miss.
00:55:13We shall have to go around.
00:55:14The man knows the way.
00:55:19Might I see your warrant?
00:55:20You shut your mouth.
00:55:21You'll see it soon enough when we get to the station.
00:55:29Would you like to have a small bed with me, Pamela?
00:55:34All right, I'll have it with you, Sherlock.
00:55:36I'll lay you a hundred to one that the old sheriff principal
00:55:38has the top joint of his little finger missing.
00:55:42What about it?
00:55:46I win.
00:55:49Hello.
00:55:50What are we stopping for?
00:55:51Oh, it's a whole flock of detectives.
00:55:58I see you're all over the road, damn silly things.
00:56:00Get out both of you and clear them away.
00:56:02What about him?
00:56:03I'll soon fix that.
00:56:05There, miss.
00:56:06Now you're a special constable.
00:56:07What's the idea?
00:56:08What are you doing?
00:56:09As long as you stay, he stays.
00:56:12Yes, as long as I go, you go.
00:56:14Come on.
00:56:16Stop them.
00:56:17They've got away.
00:56:21Come on, miss.
00:56:22I won't.
00:56:23I won't.
00:56:24I won't.
00:56:25I won't.
00:56:26I won't.
00:56:27I won't.
00:56:28I won't.
00:56:29I won't.
00:56:30I won't.
00:56:31I won't.
00:56:32I won't.
00:56:33I won't.
00:56:34I won't.
00:56:35I won't.
00:56:36I won't.
00:56:37I won't.
00:56:38I won't.
00:56:39I won't.
00:56:40I won't.
00:56:41I won't.
00:56:42I won't.
00:56:43I won't.
00:56:44I won't.
00:56:45I won't.
00:56:46I won't.
00:56:47I won't.
00:56:48I won't.
00:56:49I won't.
00:56:50I won't.
00:56:51I won't.
00:56:52I won't.
00:56:53I won't.
00:56:58Where the devil can they have gone?
00:57:00Help!
00:57:01Help!
00:57:02Let me go!
00:57:03Let me go!
00:57:04Let me go!
00:57:05Help!
00:57:06Help!
00:57:19Help! Help!
00:57:22Let me go! Let me go!
00:57:49Why don't you parry you and I'll shoot you first myself after I'm in there.
00:58:20There's nobody down here, I tell you.
00:58:22Then come up here, blast you, and don't waste any more time. Spread out and find them.
00:58:45Must be a mile away by now.
00:58:47Don't do that.
00:58:51Oh, do stop whistling.
00:58:54What are you doing all this for? You can't possibly escape. What chance have you got tied to me?
00:58:58Keep that question to your husband. Meanwhile, I'll admit you're the white man's burden.
00:59:02I know, and I can't tell you what comfort that thought gives me.
00:59:05I say, what is the use of all this? Those policemen will get you as soon as it's daylight.
00:59:08They may get me, but they're not policemen.
00:59:10And when did you find that out?
00:59:11You found that out yourself. I should never have known that was the right thing to do.
00:59:14They were taking us to their boss, and God help either you or me if they ever catch us again.
00:59:17I see. You're still sticking to your peri-novel at spies, don't you?
00:59:23There are 20 million women in this island, and I've got to be chained to you.
00:59:27Now look here, listen, once more. I'm telling you the truth.
00:59:29I told it to you once in the train last week. I tried to tell you after that election meeting this evening.
00:59:33I'm telling it to you now for the third time.
00:59:35There's a dangerous conspiracy against this island, and we're the only people who can stop it.
00:59:39Think what you've seen happen right under your very nose.
00:59:41A gallant knife to the rescue.
00:59:43All right.
00:59:45I'm just a plain, common murderer who stabbed an innocent, defenseless woman in the back not four days ago.
00:59:52How do you come out over that?
00:59:54I don't know how innocent you may be, but you're a woman, and you're defenseless,
00:59:56and you're alone on a desolate moor in the dark,
00:59:59manacled to a murderer who'd stop at nothing to get you off his hands.
01:00:02If that's the situation you're in, you'd better get out of here.
01:00:05Manacled to a murderer who'd stop at nothing to get you off his hands.
01:00:08If that's the situation you prefer, have it, my lovely, and welcome.
01:00:11I'm not afraid of...
01:00:15All you know, I may murder a woman a week.
01:00:20So listen to a bit of advice.
01:00:22From now on, do every single thing I tell you to do, and do it quick.
01:00:27You big bully.
01:00:29I like your pluck. Come on.
01:00:36We're going in there.
01:00:38What for?
01:00:39That's my business.
01:00:40But I...
01:00:41Now, remember what I said. The civil tongue, or else...
01:00:43We're going in there, and you're going to back me up in every single thing I say or do.
01:00:46Has that penetrated the ivory dome?
01:00:48Only just.
01:00:49All right, pull yourself together.
01:00:50Now, put your hand in my pocket and look as though you're in a hurry.
01:00:52Come along.
01:00:59Oh, come away in, then. Come away in, son.
01:01:02Oh, come away in, then. Come away in, son.
01:01:04Oh, the young lady's terrible.
01:01:06Oh, yes, we had an accident in our car a few miles back.
01:01:08Oh, you'll be staying the night?
01:01:10Yes.
01:01:11We've just the one room left, with the one bed in it.
01:01:13But you'll know of your mind in that.
01:01:15Oh, no, no, no, no. Quite the reverse.
01:01:17You're a man and wife, I suppose?
01:01:19Oh, yes.
01:01:20Er...
01:01:21Yes.
01:01:22Have you any luggage?
01:01:23No, we left it behind in the car.
01:01:25Oh, maybe I could lend the young lady a nightgown.
01:01:27Will you please to register?
01:01:29Er, James, the book.
01:01:31Aye, aye.
01:01:32I'll away up and light the fire for you.
01:01:34Will you be needing your suppers?
01:01:35Oh, no, thank you.
01:01:36Just set up a large whisky and soda and a few sandwiches.
01:01:38Oh, and a glass of milk.
01:01:40Oh, very well, sir.
01:01:41Can't write with my left hand, my dear, but I can shoot with it.
01:01:44You can guess what's in this pocket. Come on.
01:01:46Now, you shall sign, darling.
01:01:48The sooner you get used to writing your new name, the better.
01:01:51Now, off we go.
01:01:53Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hopkinson.
01:01:55The Hollyhocks.
01:01:56Hammersmith.
01:02:02We'll be back in a minute, champ.
01:02:04See you later.
01:03:01Now, dearie, off with that wet skirt of yours,
01:03:03and I'll have it dried in the kitchen.
01:03:05Oh, don't bother, Italy.
01:03:06It'll dry in front of the fire just as well, thanks all the same.
01:03:09No doubt the gentleman will take care of you.
01:03:12Good night, sir.
01:03:13Good night, ma'am.
01:03:14Good night.
01:03:18Good night.
01:03:21Is he married to her, do you think?
01:03:23I dinna can and I dinna care.
01:03:25They're so terrible in love with each other.
01:03:27I tell you, I can't stand it any longer.
01:03:29You want to hang me for a murder I never committed?
01:03:31As long as they hang you, I don't care whether you committed it or not.
01:03:34Do you think I'm going to spend the whole night with you?
01:03:36Of course you are. What else can you do?
01:03:38Can I come in, sir?
01:03:44Come in.
01:03:49Oh, we were just getting warm before the fire.
01:03:52I can see that.
01:03:53I thought maybe you'd like this in your bed, sir.
01:03:55Oh, thank you very much.
01:03:56You'd like a hot water bottle, wouldn't you, my sweet?
01:03:58Yes, darling.
01:04:00Yes, darling.
01:04:01Very well.
01:04:02I say, please don't go.
01:04:04Why not?
01:04:05Is anything wrong?
01:04:08Of course there's nothing wrong.
01:04:09She wants to tell you something, that's all.
01:04:11We're a runaway couple.
01:04:12I can't get all the time.
01:04:14And they're after you?
01:04:16You won't give us away, will you, please?
01:04:18Of course we will not give you up.
01:04:20A good night to you both.
01:04:23You'll no be disturbed.
01:04:24Well...
01:04:29Thank God for a bite to eat.
01:04:31Come along.
01:04:33There you are.
01:04:38Now, what's the next item on the program?
01:04:40Get these things off.
01:04:41Right. How are we going to set about it?
01:04:44Anything in that bag of yours will help?
01:04:46A pair of scissors or a hairpin or something?
01:04:49There's a nail file here. Do you think that'll help?
01:04:51Oh, easily. It'll take about ten years.
01:04:53I'll get it for you.
01:04:54I'll get it for you.
01:04:55I'll get it for you.
01:04:56Do you think that'll help?
01:04:57Oh, easily. It'll take about ten years, but we can try.
01:04:59Now, let's make ourselves as comfortable as possible.
01:05:01What about that skirt of yours?
01:05:02It's still pretty damp, you know.
01:05:04Don't want to be tied to a pneumonia case on top of everything else.
01:05:07Take it off. I don't mind.
01:05:08I shall keep it on, thank you.
01:05:10And that is that.
01:05:12My shoes and stockings are so big, I think I'll take them off.
01:05:15That's the first sensible thing I've heard you say.
01:05:17Do you mind me having any assistance?
01:05:19No, thank you.
01:05:20Sorry.
01:05:27Here, hold this.
01:05:29Oh, yes.
01:05:41Half a minute.
01:05:51Erm, thank you.
01:05:53Don't mention it. Do you like your milk now?
01:05:55Oh, no, thank you. I'll wait a little.
01:05:57All right.
01:05:59Cheerio.
01:06:03That's better.
01:06:04Now, are your feet quite warm again?
01:06:06Yes, thanks.
01:06:07Oh, come on.
01:06:10Now, will you kindly place yourself on the operating table?
01:06:13All right, all right. No one's going to hurt you.
01:06:16This is Armistice Day.
01:06:17Let's get some rest while we can.
01:06:19I'm not going to lie on this bed.
01:06:20So long as you're chained to me, you'll lie wherever I lie.
01:06:22We're the Siamese twins.
01:06:23Oh, don't gloat.
01:06:24Gloat?
01:06:25Do you think I'm looking forward to waking up in the morning
01:06:27and seeing your face beside me, unwashed and shiny?
01:06:30What a sight you'll be.
01:06:32Give me that nail file. Let's have a go at this.
01:06:39There I go again.
01:06:40I wish I could get that damn tune out of my head.
01:06:42I wonder where I heard it.
01:06:45You sound very sleepy.
01:06:47Sleepy, I'll say so.
01:06:49Do you know when I last slept in a bed?
01:06:51Saturday night, whenever that was.
01:06:53And I only got a couple of hours.
01:06:55What made you wake so soon? Dreams?
01:06:57What do you mean, dreams?
01:06:58I've always been told murderers have terrible dreams.
01:07:02Oh, but only at first.
01:07:03Got over that a long time ago.
01:07:05When I first took to crime, I was quite squeamish about it.
01:07:07I was a most sensitive child.
01:07:09You surprise me.
01:07:10I used to wake up in the middle of the night,
01:07:11screaming, thinking the police were after me.
01:07:13But one gets hardened.
01:07:15How did you start?
01:07:16Oh, quite a small way, like most of us.
01:07:18Pilfering pennies from other children's lockers at school.
01:07:21Then a little pocket picking, then a spot of car pinching.
01:07:24Then smash and grab and so on to plain burglary.
01:07:27Killed my first man when I was 19.
01:07:32And in years to come, you'll be able to take your grandchildren
01:07:35to Madame Tussauds and point me out.
01:07:37Which section?
01:07:38Oh, it's early to say. I'm still young.
01:07:41But I'll be there all right in one department or another.
01:07:44Yes, you'll point me out and say,
01:07:46chicks, if I were to tell you how matey I once was
01:07:48with that gentleman with biceps...
01:07:50What's the matter?
01:07:51You're pinching my wrist with this handkerchief.
01:07:54Oh, sorry.
01:07:55Talking of Madame Tussauds, that's how it all began.
01:07:58What began?
01:07:59My career of crime.
01:08:00All hereditary.
01:08:01Great Uncle Pen Ruddock.
01:08:03Who was he?
01:08:04My good girl, where were you brought up?
01:08:06Never heard of my Great Uncle Pen Ruddock,
01:08:08the Cornish Bluebeard.
01:08:09Got it all from him.
01:08:10I thought your family came from Canada.
01:08:13No, that's where they went, after the Pen Ruddock incident.
01:08:16He murdered three wives and got away with it,
01:08:18but his third mother-in-law got the goods on him
01:08:20and tried to have him arrested.
01:08:22Did she succeed? No.
01:08:24He was too quick for her.
01:08:26Took her for a walk to land's end
01:08:27and shoved her over into the Atlantic Ocean.
01:08:31He's in Madame Tussauds all right,
01:08:33and there's no doubt about his department.
01:08:35You must go down and see him sometime.
01:08:37Can't mistake him.
01:08:38Third on the left as you go in,
01:08:40red whiskers and a hair lip.
01:08:43And that lady is the sad story of my life.
01:08:47Poor orphan boy who never had a chance.
01:08:51Are you still set on giving me up to the police?
01:09:14You're sure everything's going to be quite all right?
01:09:16It's bound to be. He can't have much time.
01:09:18As soon as I've picked up...
01:09:20You know what. I'll clear out of the country.
01:09:23Be careful.
01:09:25Wire it to me.
01:09:32Goodbye, my dear.
01:09:33Goodbye.
01:09:46Goodbye.
01:10:16Goodbye.
01:10:46Goodbye.
01:11:16Goodbye.
01:11:47Goodbye.
01:12:01Is that Professor Jordan's house?
01:12:04Can I speak to Mrs. Jordan, then?
01:12:08Is that Mrs. Jordan?
01:12:12Oh, he's gone to London already, has he?
01:12:14I'd like that whiskey hot.
01:12:15No, I'll go away and get the hot water.
01:12:17No, he dodged down the side street and the police went the wrong way.
01:12:20The girl handed him over to us thinking we were detectives.
01:12:23We had to take her as well, the prosecutor, for everything.
01:12:28Very good, ma'am. I see.
01:12:30Yes, ma'am.
01:12:33Well?
01:12:34The old man's got the wind up.
01:12:36He's cleared out already.
01:12:37Whatever for?
01:12:38Thought it too dangerous with Hanny on the loose.
01:12:41He's warning the whole 39 steps.
01:12:43Has he got the... you know?
01:12:46Yes. He's picking up our friend at the London Palladium on the way out.
01:12:49Yes, yes, Tony.
01:12:51That'll be half a cone.
01:12:53And the phone call?
01:12:54We'll see a shilling.
01:13:02Is this a hotel as well?
01:13:05Aye.
01:13:06I mean, do you have people staying here?
01:13:07Aye.
01:13:08I suppose you get a few odd people at this time of the year?
01:13:11Aye.
01:13:12Hmm.
01:13:13You didn't happen to have anyone in tonight, did you?
01:13:15Aye.
01:13:16They weren't by any chance a young couple, were they?
01:13:20James!
01:13:21Mercy me!
01:13:23What kind of a silly creature am I married to?
01:13:26Do you want to get us all jailed?
01:13:28How much did you take for these?
01:13:29Half a cone.
01:13:30Oh!
01:13:34Out! The pair of you!
01:13:36And dinner let on to anybody that you got a drink here after hours.
01:13:40Oh!
01:13:42Oh!
01:13:51You old fool, yeah?
01:13:53You wouldn't give away a young couple, would you?

01:19:31cover every exit and on no account let anyone leave the building now you two men go in the
01:19:43orchestra pit. Ladies and gentlemen, we shall now sing.
01:20:14Sorry sir, but no one's allowed to leave the theatre.
01:20:16What's the great idea? Can't a man go out and have a drink?
01:20:18I've got a seat in the store if I just leave, sir. Can I go through, please?
01:20:21No, thank you.
01:20:43She's seen him. She's on her way down to the store. Now, sir.
01:21:13Excuse me, may I take your place, please? What are you doing here?
01:21:34Listen, I found him. He's up in that box. But you can't do anything about it. I've been to Scotland Yard.
01:21:38Nothing whatever has been stolen from the Ministry. They're absolutely certain about it.
01:21:41But you heard those men say he'd got him. There he is.
01:21:46You can take him there, sir. I'll wait till the interval.
01:21:50What are you going to do? There's nothing missing. There's an entrance.
01:22:06Hear that tune? It's that damn thing I couldn't get out of my head.
01:22:10Now I know what I heard it before. Of course, that music hall. Annabella's...
01:22:17Ladies and gentlemen, with your kind attention and permission, I have now the honour to present to you one of the most remarkable men in the world.
01:22:29It's the same little man.
01:22:52I've got it, I've got it. Of course there are no papers missing.
01:22:55All the information's inside Memory's head.
01:22:59But I still don't understand. Don't you see?
01:23:02The details of that air minister's speaking were borrowed, memorised by this little man, and then replaced before anyone could find out.
01:23:08That's why he is here tonight, to take Memory out of the country after the show.
01:23:11But surely some gentlemen here would like to speak to you.
01:23:15Question, please. Question, please.
01:23:23You Richard Hannay? Listen, there's something you ought to know.
01:23:25Come along quietly. Yes, but look here, that man on the stage...
01:23:27Hey, look here, old man, you don't want to cause any trouble and spoil people's entertainment.
01:23:32What are the 39 steps? Come on, answer up! What are the 39 steps?
01:23:39The 39 steps is an organisation of spies, collecting information on behalf of the Foreign Office of...
01:23:47Oh!
01:23:48No! Keep your seats! Keep your seats, please.
01:24:14There is no need for alarm, no cause for alarm.
01:24:17I'm all right, sir. I assure you, sir.
01:24:19I don't want a chair, no. No, let me rest here.
01:24:22Take it easy, take it easy now. Take it easy.
01:24:26I'm all right, sir.
01:24:28Get the girls on, straight away!
01:24:31The girls in the doctor, right away.
01:24:33Mr Memory, what was the secret formula you were taking out of the country?
01:24:41Will it be all right me telling you, sir?
01:24:43It was a big job to learn it, the biggest job I ever tackled.
01:24:47And I don't want to throw it all away, sir.
01:24:49It'll be quite all right.
