00:00Why?
00:00No, no, no.
00:02It's all right.
00:03Now, don't think about being a coward like that
00:06and don't try to run away from it.
00:09Hey, Martin.
00:10What's all that, chin?
00:12Come on, America.
00:13We all have to come to an agreement, don't we?
00:16No.
00:18It's all right.
00:19See, throw a stone at it and let's put our key poison
00:21on it.
00:22Hey, see you later.
00:24What?
00:25Back to nowhere.
00:28Good morning, Commissioner.
00:48You sent for me?
00:49Steve ever do any snake charming?
00:53Well, I tried my hand at charming,
00:56but I kind of think they'd resent being called snakes.
01:00Why?
01:00A year ago, an American citizen named Carter
01:05went to India, ostensibly to sell farm machinery
01:08in the northern provinces near the border.
01:11So?
01:12Last month, the Maharaja's inspectors
01:14staged a surprise raid.
01:17They opened a few crates of this farm machinery,
01:22and here's what they found.
01:24Instructions for sabotage, detailed plans
01:29for staging uprisings in each locality, and others.
01:34The works, huh?
01:35A man named Gouda testified that he
01:38had witnessed Carter on more than one occasion,
01:42giving money and instructions to local agitators.
01:46Carter was convicted and sent to prison over there.
01:49Well, sounds like an open and shut case.
01:51It was shut, but this morning, so far as I'm concerned,
01:55it popped wide open again.
01:58This man, Gouda.
01:59The witness?
02:01This morning, he contacted us.
02:03He's hiding in Bombay at this address for obvious reasons.
02:08This has to be kept undercover.
02:10Well, if Gouda isn't hiding, that means
02:12that somebody's looking for him.
02:14Get over there, Steve.
02:15Talk to Gouda.
02:17The case against Carter is a frame.
02:18Find out who's behind it, and then smash them.
02:22That's it.
02:23You've got your assignment?
02:24Good luck.
02:25You got it.
02:26You got it.
02:27You got it.
02:28You got it.
02:29You got it.
02:30You got it.
02:31You got it.
02:32You got it.
02:33You got it.
02:34Sure, I've got my assignment.
02:36Fly halfway around the world to Bombay, India,
02:39and talk to a gent named Gouda, who
02:41has something important on his mind all of a sudden.
02:45It's Friday afternoon on my plane lands in Bombay.
02:48By the time I get into the city and check in at a small hotel,
02:52it's almost dark.
02:54I head for the rooming house where Gouda's hiding out.
03:01Good evening, sir.
03:03Hi.
03:05Hey, you people take your fires pretty calmly around here,
03:07don't you?
03:08A house down the street?
03:10Yeah.
03:12They're burning it.
03:13A man died of bubonic plague.
03:15Plague?
03:18No wonder there's nobody around the place.
03:20Such things are not unusual here.
03:23See?
03:25I'm sketching the fire.
03:28Not bad.
03:29Passes the time.
03:31Here, I will sketch you.
03:33Thanks, but no thanks.
03:35Will only take a minute.
03:38Minutes I haven't got.
03:39Very well.
03:41What can I do for you?
03:43Thanks.
03:44I know the room I want.
03:57Who is there?
03:58The guy you wanted to see, Steve Mitchell
03:59from the United States.
04:05Come in quickly.
04:08Close the door.
04:09Lock it.
04:12Now, your credentials, please.
04:20So did anyone follow you here?
04:23Not that I know of.
04:25Why?
04:26In my position, one cannot be too careful.
04:29I have been followed, but I managed
04:30to throw them off my trail.
04:32Look, what did you want to tell me?
04:34I was paid to give false testimony
04:36against the American Carter.
04:39We thought it might be something like that.
04:41Who paid you and why?
04:42They promised me much money, but they only paid me half.
04:46Now I will have my revenge.
04:47Who's they?
04:49The ones who were in charge of stirring up revolt
04:51in the border provinces.
04:53They framed Carter, huh?
04:55OK, let's have their names.
04:57There are two of them.
04:59One.
05:01There are two of them.
05:03One.
05:05Uncle Bing.
05:08He went in there.
05:09That's my name.
05:13Especially if you don't mind, Mr. Duff.
05:17I'd like to make us something to eat for dinner.
05:23OK, good for you.
05:24智香包, 我很饿。
05:28♪♪
05:35♪♪
05:41♪♪
05:51♪♪
05:58Police! Here is mad! Police!
06:00Help! Help! Help! Help!
06:02Police!
06:05♪♪
06:15♪♪
06:25♪♪
06:32This is a great spot I'm in.
06:34The race to get to Gouda has turned into a dead heat.
06:36Gouda's dead and the heat is on me.
06:39It's really a neat frame.
06:41A U.S. agent bumps off the key witness
06:44in a case against a U.S. citizen.
06:47Somehow I've got to find out who slugged me
06:49and keep away from the police until I do.
06:51♪♪
07:01♪♪
07:11♪♪
07:21Good morning, sir.
07:22Hi. How about some breakfast?
07:25Tea and rice?
07:26No, thanks. Ham and eggs.
07:28So sorry. Tea and rice.
07:32Is that all you got?
07:33Dry fish.
07:36Okay. Tea and rice.
07:38I'll fix.
07:39♪♪
07:44Bracelet.
07:46In Gouda's room.
07:49Yes.
07:51You read about the big excitement?
07:54Excitement?
07:55Yes. Big killing.
07:58He got away. Police know what he look like.
08:01How do they know what he looks like?
08:03At the looming house.
08:04It's the artist's student.
08:07He draw the picture of the killer.
08:14Very good picture.
08:17Looks like...
08:21Sheriff?
08:23Yes, sir?
08:25Is it true?
08:27That he killed himself?
08:29Yes.
08:30Yes, I have it.
08:32What?
08:33I have it.
08:34Really?
08:35Yes, sir.
08:36Well, wait a minute.
08:37I will check it, sir.
08:38Okay.
08:39Come on.
08:40Wait a minute.
08:41Get your camera ready, alright?
08:43All right.
08:44Get your camera ready.
08:45What's the matter, Mysterio?
08:46I'm determined to catch him.
08:47Why?
08:48You're determined to catch him?
08:49Yes.
08:50Why?
08:51Your problem will be solved.
09:12Bandara is with you.
09:14Hey, where did you come from?
09:17Bandara comes from everywhere.
09:20And from nowhere.
09:22Well, wherever you came from, I want to talk with you.
09:25Of course.
09:34You were compelled to visit me.
09:37Oh, I'm sorry. No sale.
09:40What I want is a little information.
09:43Look, this crest in your head, is that your trademark?
09:48It is the symbol which identifies Bandara in the spirit realm.
09:55Hey, look.
09:56Come down off that cloud for a minute, will you?
09:59Do you own a bracelet with a crest like that on it or not?
10:03Earthly possessions are of such little significance to Bandara,
10:08that he sometimes loses the memory of them.
10:12You probably also lost the memory of where you were last night.
10:16Last night?
10:18I do not seem to remember.
10:21I may have been in a trance.
10:24Yes.
10:25You're trying to put me in a trance with a gun barrel on the back of my head.
10:29The only weapons Bandara uses are words of wisdom.
10:35Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were occupied, Bandara.
10:39Mrs. Trevelyan, if you will wait in the other room, I will be with you shortly.
10:44Right-o.
10:45Oh, by the way, how is the little romance coming along?
10:51Earthly attachments, Mrs. Trevelyan, are but symbols.
10:57Yes. Yes, of course.
10:59Rightfully difficult, though, to realize it at the time.
11:08You were about to...
11:10Yes. Depart from the realm of Bandara.
11:15But don't be surprised if I return soon to the realm.
11:41Get away from me.
11:43You think you're going to collect a reward on me, huh?
11:46What do you think?
11:47You'll have to wait. I hope.
11:50Well, what do you want to do?
11:52Walk the streets until someone spots you and grabs you?
11:54And go back to my hotel. Let's see.
11:56Do you live alone?
11:57Why, you... No.
11:59Sorry, you just tipped your mitt. We'll try your place.
12:02Come on. Do you think I'm kidding?
12:11Nice place you got here.
12:13Make yourself at home.
12:15Thanks a lot. Now what?
12:18I don't know yet.
12:20This isn't going to do you any good.
12:23Your picture is plastered on every paper in town.
12:26You're telling me.
12:29You're an American, aren't you?
12:31So what?
12:32So am I.
12:34You're not another American to me. You're a trip home.
12:38I'm tired of this stinking place, and I'm broke.
12:40That's exactly why I grabbed you.
12:43I've got to find a place to hide out
12:45till I can get the guy who framed me.
12:47Sure, sure.
12:49Just the innocent little bystander who got framed.
12:52Put on a new record, will you?
13:00What's your name?
13:02Carol.
13:03Mine's Steve.
13:07Delighted.
13:09And you're not interested in helping me?
13:11Are you kidding?
13:13Would it make any difference if you knew I was innocent?
13:17Everybody knows you killed the man in the boarding house.
13:20No, Carol. I didn't kill him.
13:23Who did then?
13:24I don't know.
13:26I've got one prospect.
13:28If I can get him down off cloud eight long enough to make him talk.
13:32You sound convincing.
13:35You still don't believe me?
13:37Forget it.
13:39Okay.
13:41What good is it going to do you to stay here?
13:44Right now, this is the safest place I know in Bombay for me.
13:48Okay. Go ahead.
13:50Sit around as long as you like.
13:53But remember this.
13:55You can't stay awake forever,
13:57and the moment you doze off, you're a dead pigeon.
14:06What time is it?
14:11A little past noon.
14:14Oh, boy.
14:17Thirty hours and no sleep.
14:20You know, you're a strange guy.
14:23I don't get you.
14:25What do you mean?
14:27If I were you, I'd be trying to figure a way to get out of town.
14:31Just what I would be doing if I was guilty.
14:34If you were guilty.
14:37Oh, boy.
14:40When this deal's over, I'm going to hit the sack for a week.
14:44Well, you're safe for the time being, so just relax.
14:48I'm so relaxed now.
15:00Steve?
15:05Steve?
15:19Almost, but not quite.
15:22So I didn't make it.
15:25They let me go now.
15:27Yeah, I guess so.
15:31I...
15:33I guess I'm sort of mixed up.
15:35You weren't so mixed up a moment ago,
15:37trying your best to get out that door.
15:40I'm glad you stopped me.
15:42I mean, I guess I'm glad.
15:44It's real smart, tossing away my ticket home.
15:48You didn't really kill that man, did you?
15:52No.
15:54Tried to make myself believe you did.
15:57I thought I was being so tough.
16:00I guess I'm not so tough.
16:03I guess not.
16:05So, what happens now?
16:08That's up to you, Steve.
16:10I won't try to call the police anymore.
16:12You can stay here as long as you want to.
16:14Nothing I'd rather do, believe me.
16:17But...
16:19I can't figure out this deal sitting around here.
16:23Where are you going?
16:25Where are you going?
16:28To the realm of peace.
16:30The what?
16:31Oh, skip it.
16:33I'll tell you about it when I get back.
16:36Maybe we can talk about it over a drink.
16:38Yeah.
16:40Maybe I'll have something to celebrate then.
16:43See you later.
16:55You're looking for me, Buster?
17:14Please, let me go!
17:16Who are you?
17:17I am Ahmed.
17:18Please.
17:19Why were you following me just now?
17:21I was not following you.
17:23Come on, open up!
17:24Your picture was in the papers.
17:26I saw it yesterday.
17:27I read about the reward.
17:29Following me for a reward?
17:30Guess again.
17:32Very well.
17:33I will tell you how it came to be.
17:34I'm listening.
17:36You see, I have a cousin who lives here in Bombay.
17:39I came to visit him for the weekend.
17:41It so happens he was staying in the same hotel you were.
17:45That's stolen.
17:46I'm telling you.
17:47Hold it.
17:49The cops.
17:50So that's why it was stolen, huh?
17:52Police!
17:53Police!
17:54You wanted a reward, huh?
18:11Good afternoon.
18:14Hey, do you specialize in popping out of nowhere?
18:17Most people who seek my help specialize
18:21in entering through the front door.
18:23You got an electric eye in that back window?
18:26Those who seek to enter the realm of peace by stealth
18:30do not find peace.
18:32Well, maybe not.
18:34But sometimes they might pick up a little information.
18:37A little information is a dangerous thing.
18:40Better than none.
18:44Strange.
18:46I have no consultations at this hour.
18:51Who is in charge here?
18:52This is the police.
18:56I have no traffic with the police.
18:59What do they want of me?
19:01I've got a great idea.
19:03Why don't you go out front and find out?
19:21No.
19:40Hello, Bud.
19:41Think you got yourself a passenger?
19:42Hello.
19:43I recognize your picture in the paper.
19:45Come on.
19:46Let's get going.
19:47A policeman coming down the alley.
19:49Get rid of him.
19:50What will I tell him?
19:51That's up to you, but tell him something and get rid of him.
19:53Remember, I'm right in back here and I got a gun.
19:59Get out.
20:00Huh?
20:01Get out of your truck.
20:02I'm going to search it.
20:03What for?
20:04I'm looking for a fugitive.
20:05Get out.
20:06No, no, you cannot search this truck.
20:07I'm carrying a dead man.
20:08Let me inspect this dead man.
20:09Very well.
20:10But this man died of the bubonic plague.
20:17Nice going, Buster.
20:18Huh?
20:19That was quick thinking.
20:20A dead man with a bubonic plague.
20:22Oh, but that was not quick thinking.
20:24Huh?
20:25This man did die of the bubonic plague.
20:28You've lost a passenger.
20:29Huh?
20:33Hi.
20:34Hi, you OK?
20:35Yeah, everything's fine.
20:37Here's that drink I promised you.
20:38Thanks.
20:42Tired?
20:43Yeah.
20:44Been doing a little more running.
20:46Use a breath of fresh air.
20:53Mm.
20:55That hit the spot.
20:57Did you find out what you wanted to know?
20:59Yeah.
21:00Things are beginning to fall into place.
21:02Where's this realm of peace you spoke about?
21:05It's a place run by a guy by the name of Bandara.
21:09Do you think he's involved in the killing?
21:11I did, but not anymore.
21:16The thing goes together something like this.
21:18Suppose an outfit wanted to cause trouble and revolt
21:21in the boundary provinces.
21:23Revolt?
21:24The outfit ships sabotage pamphlets
21:27into the district in crates of farm machinery.
21:30Then, when the plot is discovered,
21:32pretty simple to place the blame on Carter,
21:35the machinery salesman, who knows
21:38nothing about what's going on.
21:40Sounds pretty involved to me.
21:42Yeah.
21:45They pay a guy named Guta to testify against Carter,
21:49but they don't pay him enough.
21:51He tries to blow the whistle on him,
21:53but they kill him right while I'm talking to him.
21:56What?
21:58Then they put the frame on me.
22:00On me, the frame looks good.
22:02The United States government agent
22:05knocking off the key witness against the United States
22:08citizen.
22:09You're a government agent.
22:11Yeah.
22:12Yeah.
22:13Guta told me there were two people running this outfit.
22:17Oh?
22:18I think one of them is a guy by the name of Armand
22:20who's been chasing me around all day,
22:22trying to sic the cops on me.
22:24Hey, is this your jewel case?
22:26Yes.
22:27Well, what do you know?
22:29Steve.
22:30A bracelet with Bondari's crest on it.
22:33I guess I should have stolen it away, shouldn't I?
22:35Yeah.
22:36The clasp broke when you conked me over the head
22:39the other night, didn't it?
22:40I thought you were unconscious and didn't see it.
22:43How did you find out about me, Steve?
22:45I saw a painting of you at Bondari's when I was there.
22:48Then I remembered some sucker of his
22:51kidding him about a recent romance.
22:53I put two and two together, and it added up to you.
22:56I see.
22:58Bondari gave you this bracelet.
23:00You were wearing it the night before last,
23:02and then yesterday morning, you were wearing it.
23:04And then yesterday morning, when you spotted me
23:06outside of Bondari's, you played it dumb.
23:09That was smart.
23:11I'm sorry you found out about me, Steve.
23:13I knew you had.
23:14I saw it in your eyes when you walked in the room.
23:18I wasn't kidding about liking you.
23:21I guess I liked you a little too.
23:26Sorry I had to do what I did.
23:29What do you mean?
23:31That drink I just gave you, I put poison in it.
23:36You didn't poison me.
23:38You're kidding.
23:41You're not kidding.
23:43Steve.
23:44You did poison me.
23:45I had to.
23:50I'm sorry, Steve.
23:58So, it is all over.
24:01Yes, it's all over.
24:03You had to do it, Carol.
24:05He got away from me at Bondari's before the police arrived.
24:09Now it is quite simple.
24:11I will take his body somewhere and then notify the police.
24:16We are in the clear.
24:17Yeah.
24:18So, he is very heavy.
24:20Let me give you some help.
24:27Let me go.
24:28You're not going anywhere.
24:29The poison, I saw you drink it.
24:31No, you didn't.
24:32I poured it out the window when my back was turned.
24:34And why did you pretend?
24:36To get your pal, Ahmed.
24:38You still haven't gotten the evidence.
24:40Oh, Ahmed's a jittery type.
24:41I think I can get him to tell the whole story to the police.
24:44Besides, I still have the gun that you killed Guta with.
24:48Steve, listen to me.
24:49Give me a break.
24:50Skip it.
24:52I'm taking you both in.
24:55That's about it, Commissioner.
24:57Carter's out of jail.
24:58Carol and Ahmed are in.
25:00Good work, Steve.
25:01You take so long, darling.
25:03Please hurry.
