00:07 Foreign Intrigue, an exciting television drama played against the tense background of present-day Europe.
00:15 Produced in Europe especially for television by Sheldon Reynolds.
00:19 [Music]
00:42 Some men have said that it takes a generation of peace to restore the vagrants of war to their homes,
00:49 or give them a chance to find new homes.
00:52 This is the story of a man who tried to forget the past and to start a new life.
00:58 He did everything he thought was necessary, but he forgot one detail.
01:04 [Music]
01:16 I'm looking for Mr. Paul Bundy.
01:18 Why, yes, sir.
01:20 Are you Paul Bundy?
01:24 Yes, I am Paul Bundy.
01:26 Mr. Bundy, would you mind telling me where you were born?
01:30 No, not at all. I was born in the city of Bramstead.
01:33 What year?
01:34 1908. In April 22, 1908.
01:38 And how long have you lived here in Fister?
01:41 Ever since the end of the war. Why all this question?
01:45 May I see your papers?
01:47 Mr. Bundy, I have some good news for you.
01:59 Very good news indeed.
02:01 A relative of yours in America has died and left you an inheritance of $117,000.
02:08 I represent the American executor of the state.
02:12 Congratulations, Mr. Bundy.
02:14 [Laughter]
02:15 Congratulations, Paul.
02:17 Congratulations.
02:18 [Music]
02:26 My New York office was clamoring for the story of what $117,000 inheritance does to an obscure European shoe clerk.
02:33 So I went to the pleasant town of Fister to talk to Paul Bundy and to some of his friends.
02:38 And so, in the name of our town, I want to thank Paul Bundy for his generous contribution to our orphanage.
02:51 [Applause]
02:54 And to express our hope that Paul will, like a good citizen of our town, marry one of our young fair daughters and settle down among us for good.
03:07 [Applause]
03:18 May I have a cup of coffee?
03:20 Town's certainly happy about Mr. Bundy's good luck, aren't they?
03:23 It's not every day that a man inherits such a fortune.
03:26 What would you do if you inherited $117,000?
03:30 Oh, I don't know. So many things I wouldn't know where to start.
03:34 You're American, aren't you?
03:36 Yes, I'm a newspaper woman. My name's Helen Davis.
03:38 Branderson is my name.
03:40 Would you mind answering my question?
03:43 Well, it's quite an interesting one. I suppose the first thing I would do would be to quit my job.
03:49 Quit your job? What is your job?
03:50 Well, I'm a commercial traveler. What you Americans call a traveling salesman in town on some business.
03:57 I'm staying right here at the inn.
04:00 Yes, Miss Davis, some people are really born under a lucky star.
04:05 Give it to Mr. Bundy.
04:07 But you should tell me what you would do if you inherited such an amount of money.
04:11 No, that's not fair. I'm the one who's supposed to ask the question.
04:21 [Music]
04:49 I see you have the same idea.
04:51 I hope you don't mind.
04:52 No, our purpose is the same.
04:54 We act together.
04:55 Good. Our rich friend will come up to my room very soon, I hope.
04:58 I want to be with you.
05:00 Doran, you are too excited. You must take hold of yourself or you will spoil everything.
05:08 What do you want me to do in the meantime?
05:10 I am in room 19. Comes there in about 15 minutes.
05:15 We must make a promise that no one sees us together.
05:19 [Music]
05:48 [Music]
05:59 I return, Miss Davis.
06:00 Oh, the key is stuck again.
06:02 Oh, may I help you?
06:07 Why, this doesn't work.
06:08 Oh, maid, could you use your pass key?
06:11 Oh, is that key again?
06:12 Yes, the door is stuck.
06:16 I'll have to go through room 19 and the balcony. Just a minute.
06:19 All right.
06:20 Well, here you are.
06:21 Thanks for trying, anyhow.
06:24 I'm sorry it didn't work.
06:30 [Screams]
06:34 It's Ben!
06:46 I saw coming out of the room.
06:47 Call the police.
06:48 Yes, madam.
06:51 Operator, operator, get me the police.
06:54 I understand that you are a journalist, Miss Davis.
06:57 Yes, I came here to do a story on Mr. Paul Bundy.
07:00 Oh, I see.
07:01 Have you ever met the murdered man?
07:04 No, I never have.
07:06 And your room adjoins this one?
07:08 Yes, that's right.
07:10 Are you positive that you saw this man come out of room 19?
07:13 Yes, I'm positive. I had a little trouble with my key.
07:16 I told you, I had nothing to do with this.
07:18 You admit he coming out of the room.
07:19 It was in the wrong room. I made a mistake.
07:21 Are you ready to hear it in?
07:23 No, he is not.
07:25 You are a stranger in our town and saw both the murdered man.
07:31 Why did you come here?
07:34 What brought you here?
07:38 Come with us.

09:02 [Gunshots]
09:07 [Music]
09:27 [Music]
09:49 That you won't get the wrong impression of our town.
09:53 Perhaps Miss Davis would like to change her room.
09:55 Oh, no, no, no. Certainly not.
09:57 You must come and visit us very soon.
10:00 When there is less excitement.
10:02 Sit at home, Miss Davis.
10:03 Oh, thank you. Excuse me, it must be my office.
10:10 Hello.
10:11 Miss Davis.
10:12 Yes?
10:13 I must see you right away, Miss Davis.
10:16 Who is this?
10:17 It's about the murder.
10:20 Why do you come to me?
10:21 You are a journalist. You're interested in the truth.
10:24 Yes, of course I'm interested in the truth.
10:27 Why don't you go to the police?
10:29 I can't. You must believe me.
10:32 All right, I'll wait for you here at the inn.
10:34 That's impossible. I swear to you that you can trust me.
10:38 I will be at the square next to the church.
10:40 How will I know you?
10:42 I will recognize you. Please hurry.

13:17 Miss Davis.
13:19 You!
13:20 I escaped. I had to talk to you. You can help me.
13:23 Help you to kill somebody else?
13:24 I'm absolutely innocent, Miss Davis. I didn't kill Max.
13:28 He was my friend.
13:29 You told the police you didn't even know him.
13:31 I couldn't tell them that I knew him.
13:32 What do you want me to do?
13:36 I'm wounded.
13:38 In case something happens to me, I want you to know why Max was murdered.
13:48 Did you tell anybody?
13:49 No.
13:52 How do I know it wasn't that gun that killed Max?
13:55 This gun was meant for another purpose.
14:06 Eight years ago, in a camp for war prisoners, there were nine of us plotting to escape.
14:13 It was in 1944.
14:16 One man gave our plans away.
14:18 He informed on us to gain his own freedom.
14:23 We swore that the first one to find him would kill him like a mad dog.
14:30 Tonight, I came to fulfill the pledge.
14:35 Max also came for the same reason.
14:40 Both of us were...
14:47 You need a doctor.
14:48 No! That would spoil everything.
14:53 My arm is bleeding.
14:55 I'll get you some bandages. Wait here.
14:58 Wait here.
14:59 [Music]
15:23 [Music]
15:34 I was beginning to worry about you, Miss Davis.
15:37 What are you doing in my room?
15:39 Waiting for you, naturally.
15:41 If you don't leave at once, I'll call the manager.
15:43 That will only cause unnecessary complications.
15:45 Can you please leave?
15:47 Where were you, Miss Davis?
15:48 I don't think I have to tell you that.
15:50 In my country, shielding a fugitive from the police is a very serious offense.
15:54 For a salesman, you show an unusual interest in criminal affairs.
15:57 I'm no salesman. I'm a government agent.
16:01 And now I know you will be more cooperative, Miss Davis.
16:04 That depends.
16:06 Where is Dorland?
16:07 I don't know.
16:08 But you saw him.
16:09 Yes, I saw him.
16:10 He's wounded, but he disappeared.
16:13 He says he's innocent.
16:14 Strangely enough, I believe he's telling the truth.
16:17 That's true. He is innocent.
16:19 But if you knew that, why did you stand by when they arrested him?
16:22 I have my own reasons for my actions, Miss Davis.
16:24 Do you know who the murderer is?
16:26 Yes.
16:27 Well, don't you think you ought to arrest him before he gets away?
16:30 He might try.
16:31 In fact, he has a very fast car.
16:33 But he won't have a chance.
16:36 [music]
16:57 Is this what you are looking at?
17:00 [door slams]
17:01 Dorland.
17:06 Yes, Dorland.
17:09 Number 843278.
17:13 Here.
17:14 See it.
17:16 And you.
17:18 What's your name?
17:20 Who are you?
17:22 Paul Bundy?
17:24 No, you are not Paul Bundy.
17:27 Paul Bundy died.
17:29 You're an imposter.
17:32 Your real name is Sanders.
17:34 Sanders.
17:36 The pig we used to call you.
17:38 What do you want?
17:40 You betrayed Paul Bundy.
17:42 You had him killed.
17:44 Then you took his identity.
17:46 You traded Paul's life for your freedom.
17:49 You thought you made a good bargain, didn't you?
17:52 What do you want?
17:55 It's not what I alone want.
17:57 It's what the dead ones want.
17:59 The ones you betrayed.
18:01 The ones whose lives you sold.
18:04 Shall we ask them too?
18:06 I was forced to do it.
18:08 And who forced you to kill Max?
18:10 You thought you could get away with that too, didn't you?
18:14 Listen to me.
18:15 I'm rich now.
18:17 You can have my money.
18:18 All of it.
18:20 Your money.
18:22 Your money.
18:24 You took Paul's life.
18:26 Then his name.
18:27 And now his money.
18:29 It would have been Paul's inheritance
18:31 if you hadn't turned him over to the firing squad.
18:35 I emptied it first, Sanders.
18:46 This time, I am dealing the cards.
18:51 That's better.
18:54 I too will sit down.
18:58 I'm a little tired.
19:01 I'm waiting for you.
19:03 Now, Sanders.
19:05 Pick up that phone.
19:07 I want you to call Miss Davis at the inn.
19:11 Tell her to come here and don't mention my name.
19:15 I want her to get the real story of your life.
19:19 I want her to know and to be a witness.
19:25 An execution should have a witness.
19:29 Hello.
19:44 Miss Davis?
19:45 Yes, this is Miss Davis speaking.
19:47 Paul Burnley speaking.
19:49 I have a friend of yours here in my apartment.
19:51 I would like to see you.
19:52 Oh, who is it?
19:53 He asked me not to mention his name.
19:56 Is it Dolan?
19:57 Please, Miss Davis.
19:59 Please come.
20:00 And hurry.
20:01 I'll take a taxi right away.
20:05 When?
20:06 She's coming.
20:11 Sit down, Sanders.
20:17 This is going to be the longest wait of your life, Sanders.
20:21 Sit down.
20:24 You must get used to waiting.
20:27 It will be a long wait from now on.
20:31 Until eternity.
20:37 She's coming.
20:42 She's coming.
20:47 She's coming.
20:52 I can't wait any longer.
20:54 Don't kill me.
20:55 She's coming.
20:56 She told me she would.
20:58 Don't kill me.
21:00 There.
21:01 She's coming.
21:11 Come in.
21:18 You came just in time, Miss Davis.
21:20 I'm glad.
21:22 I knew you would want to know the truth.
21:25 This is the murderer, oh, Max.
21:28 My poor friend, Max.
21:32 I wanted you to come because I'm going to avenge Max.
21:37 And all the others.
21:39 You have no right to take the law into your own hands.
21:41 You're feverish.
21:42 You don't know what you're doing.
21:43 I can't wait.
21:51 Let go of him, Miss Davis.
21:52 You're coming with me.
21:55 We can't leave him alone.
21:56 Why, he's lost a lot of blood.
21:58 It's a jungle world, Miss Davis.
22:01 You go first, in front of me.

23:13 - I have no intention of dying.
23:16 Not yet.
23:16 - Are you sure he can't get away?
23:22 - There is only one road leading out the farm,
23:25 north and south.
23:27 And we have put up road blocks at both ends.
23:29 - Good.
23:30 (dramatic music)

24:36 What about old Anne?
24:37 - Oh, he'll be all right too.
24:38 They'll take him to the hospital.
24:40 - All such a waste.
24:42 - I know, Miss Davis.
24:43 These are the last echoes of war.
24:46 The ruins of blasted cities have been cleared.
24:49 New towns, villages, and factories have been built.
24:52 But it is the human wounds which take a long time to heal.
