00:05:40 [Knocking]

00:05:41 Come in.

00:05:42 [Music]

00:05:47 Oh, hello, Wayne.

00:05:49 I kind of figured it'd be you.

00:05:51 Finding it a little harder to pull out than you expected?

00:05:53 Yeah.

00:05:55 Sort of seems as though half of me belongs here with your people.

00:05:58 I know, because half of me belongs over there with your people.

00:06:02 Let's cut it out, wait before I change my mind.

00:06:05 Won't you bring my discharge?

00:06:06 Mm-hmm.

00:06:07 Here's a little something to remember us by.

00:06:14 It was my brother's.

00:06:18 Thanks, Wayne.

00:06:19 Ah, before you know it, we'll both be laughing this whole mess off.

00:06:23 Probably back in the States somewhere, putting a couple of crates through their paces at some broken-down county fair.

00:06:28 It will be a long time before the Chinese will be able to laugh off what has happened.

00:06:32 The needless misery, the slaughter, the barbarism.

00:06:36 Yeah, I know.

00:06:37 [Music]

00:06:45 I could travel no farther, nor too soft.

00:06:50 Why, it's Ram Lao.

00:06:51 You know him?

00:06:52 Well, sure, it's Tommy Thompson's number one boy.

00:06:54 Come on, help me get him over to the bed.

00:06:56 Yeah, he and Tommy disappeared a couple of months ago.

00:06:58 No one's heard from him since.

00:07:01 Better get some water.

00:07:02 [Music]

00:07:13 This poor old boy's really been through the mill.

00:07:16 Wonder what happened to Tommy.

00:07:18 All right, I think he's coming to now.

00:07:26 I am sorry, Sahid.

00:07:31 After a moment's rest, I shall be going.

00:07:35 Oh, not tonight.

00:07:36 You're not in any shape to travel.

00:07:38 I must.

00:07:40 I have a message from Thompson, Sahid, for his sister.

00:07:44 Important.

00:07:45 No, no, no, you just lie there and rest.

00:07:47 I'll find Miss Thompson.

00:07:49 Wait, try and get some food into him.

00:07:52 Clear broth, I think, would be the best.

00:07:53 And take care of those wounds.

00:07:55 Right, Jack.

00:07:56 I'll be back in a half an hour with Miss Thompson.

00:08:01 [Music]

00:08:08 I apologize for my tea service.

00:08:10 But the recent bombings have played havoc with my chinaware.

00:08:13 You're lucky.

00:08:14 I haven't any left at all.

00:08:16 You know, I don't understand your brother leaving you here alone

00:08:20 while he runs around the country on his own.

00:08:23 Oh, I don't mind, really.

00:08:25 It's not as dangerous as most people believe.

00:08:27 But my brother, when he gets off on one of his exploring expeditions,

00:08:30 I doubt whether he even knows there's a war going on.

00:08:33 [Music]

00:08:43 Hey, guys.

00:08:44 [Horn]

00:08:48 Is Miss Thompson at home?

00:08:54 Why, Jack, how nice.

00:08:58 Hello, Janet.

00:08:59 Miss Miller, you know Captain Martin, I believe.

00:09:01 Well, not in person.

00:09:03 But I have written up a number of his exploits in the air service.

00:09:06 Oh, then you must be the Miss Miller of the syndicated press.

00:09:08 How do you do?

00:09:09 Now, how about some tea?

00:09:11 Tea?

00:09:12 Oh, no.

00:09:13 No, thanks.

00:09:14 I really came here, Janet, to take you away for a while.

00:09:16 If Miss Miller will excuse you.

00:09:18 Before we've finished our tea, don't be silly.

00:09:20 Janet, this is important.

00:09:22 Ramlal's at my house, too weak to come here.

00:09:24 Ramlal?

00:09:25 Back from Andon?

00:09:27 Is my brother with him?

00:09:28 No, but he brought a message from him.

00:09:30 I'll get a wrap.

00:09:31 If you'll excuse me, Trudy, I...

00:09:33 Of course, run along.

00:09:35 I'll finish my tea and have the maid call a rickshaw.

00:09:37 Sorry to break in this way, Miss Miller, but really it's...

00:09:39 Don't give it a thought.

00:09:40 I understand perfectly.

00:09:42 If there's anything I can do to help, don't forget to call on me.

00:09:45 Thanks, Trudy.

00:09:46 Good night.

00:09:47 Good night.

00:09:48 Good night.

00:09:49 I ought to tell you what's the back of all this.

00:09:53 Oh, don't. I'm not sure you take that order, though.

00:09:55 I do.

00:09:56 Tommy said if things went wrong, I should tell you.

00:09:58 And it seems as if they have.

00:09:59 Hola.

00:10:00 Hito.

00:10:09 Yes.

00:10:10 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:14 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:17 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:20 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:34 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:36 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:38 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:50 (Speaking in Spanish)

00:10:52 To make things clear, I ought to tell you that Tommy's in the Australian Intelligence Service.

00:11:10 I suspected as much, but I wasn't sure.

00:11:13 Well, he is. Ramlaw is in the Hindu Service.

00:11:17 Two months ago, they left on the most dangerous assignment they'd ever tackled.

00:11:20 Oh? What was it?

00:11:22 Ever hear of a place called Mandan?

00:11:25 Yes. Yes, it's a little isolated province against the Himalaya Mountains. Why?

00:11:30 Well, Ramlaw unearthed an old legend about Mandan.

00:11:33 The story is that there's a secret route through the mountains from China to India.

00:11:37 Secret route to India?

00:11:39 That would give China another lifeline.

00:11:42 Exactly.

00:11:43 Yeah, but what if the Japs found out about that route and got control of it?

00:11:47 Wouldn't they march straight through to India?

00:11:48 Certainly. That's why Tommy and Ramlaw flew into Mandan, in order to beat them to it.

00:11:53 Boy, oh boy, they've really been playing with dynamite.

00:11:57 [music]

00:12:22 Benson.

00:12:25 [whistles]

00:12:30 Franz von Tattler. I had begun to think you had forgotten the path to my humble door.

00:12:53 It might have been better for you if I had.

00:12:55 I may have to report that you have failed your country and the Black Samurai.

00:12:59 So, in what way, may I ask?

00:13:02 Have I not urged you to send agents to Mandan to find their secret route to India?

00:13:05 And have I not explained that agents could accomplish nothing against that wild mountain tribe?

00:13:10 When Japan gets ready to invade India, we shall send an army into Mandan and force the secret from them.

00:13:18 Not if our enemies get control of it first.

00:13:20 Our enemies do not even know there is such a route.

00:13:22 The British do.

00:13:24 Why do you think the British know?

00:13:26 When Thompson and Ramlaw left Chongqing last month, they went to Mandan, as I suspected.

00:13:31 There's no harm done. They're foreigners. They'll never reach Mandan alive.

00:13:36 But they did reach Mandan. The Hindu returned here tonight.

00:13:40 Do you know whether they learned the way to the road itself?

00:13:42 If they have, the Black Samurai will demand your life, Kageyama.

00:13:49 I'll have a report on it within the hour.

00:13:52 I'll be back.

00:14:16 I came as soon as I heard, Ramlaw.

00:14:19 Food and rest are all I need, ma'am.

00:14:23 Jack says you have word of my brother. Is he well?

00:14:27 He is in Mandan, a prisoner and wounded.

00:14:31 I escaped and came out to send him help.

00:14:34 Tommy will get help, all right. We have to fly it to him ourselves.

00:14:38 Is he seriously hurt?

00:14:40 That I do not know.

00:14:42 I have been returning for six weeks.

00:14:46 Can I speak freely before your friends?

00:14:50 Yes, Ramlaw.

00:14:54 We learned part of what we were looking for.

00:14:57 The legend is true. There is a secret route to India.

00:15:02 Did you find the route itself?

00:15:04 No, ma'am.

00:15:06 It was when they learned what we were looking for that they imprisoned us.

00:15:10 It sounds like the Mandanese are as tough as I heard.

00:15:13 They want no trouble with the world.

00:15:16 That's why they keep the secret of India.

00:15:19 Only two men know where it is.

00:15:22 Who are they? Maybe they will tell the secret to save China.

00:15:25 After all, they are Chinese.

00:15:27 They are men of great trust.

00:15:30 One of them is the...

00:15:33 (gunshot)

00:15:35 (music)

00:15:38 (music)

00:15:42 (music)

00:15:45 (gunshot)

00:15:56 (music)

00:16:09 (gunshot)

00:16:11 I do not think he is badly hurt.

00:16:17 If we can only...

00:16:18 Hey, look at this.

00:16:20 The sign of the Black Samurai.

00:16:22 The first member we have ever taken alive.

00:16:24 The Black Samurai? What is that?

00:16:26 An espionage ring of Japanese nobles.

00:16:28 Controlled by the most dangerous spy in the Orient.

00:16:30 What is his name?

00:16:31 It is not a man. It is a woman called Fraulein von Teufel.

00:16:34 Fraulein von Teufel? Why, that's German.

00:16:36 We do not know her.

00:16:37 All we know is that she is ruthless, even with her own agents.

00:16:40 If one of them fails, the penalty is harakiri.

00:16:43 We better have these men take him to headquarters.

00:16:45 Maybe we can make him talk.

00:16:46 We can try, but there is not much chance.

00:16:48 (speaking Japanese)

00:16:50 Harakiri.

00:16:56 That's why we never take any of them alive.

00:16:58 We've got to report this to the general.

00:17:00 It's getting pretty late, Jack. We better wait till morning.

00:17:02 We can't afford to wait.

00:17:03 Why, the spy that killed Ram Lao probably heard everything he said

00:17:05 about the secret route to India.

00:17:07 Yes, I suppose he must have.

00:17:08 Of course he did.

00:17:09 If I know anything about the Japs, they won't wait.

00:17:11 They'll have men on the way to Mandan within a few hours.

00:17:14 (speaking Japanese)

00:17:15 It was as you suspected, Fraulein von Teufel.

00:17:19 Ram Lao and Thompson did go to Mandan.

00:17:21 Did they find out about the secret route to India?

00:17:23 Only that there is such a route.

00:17:25 They could not locate the entrance.

00:17:27 Then they know no more than we do.

00:17:29 Not quite as much, Fraulein.

00:17:31 I killed Ram Lao.

00:17:33 Before he could name the two men who know how to reach it.

00:17:35 Good.

00:17:37 There's other news.

00:17:39 That is not good.

00:17:41 What is it?

00:17:42 Yagashi was arrested helping me escape.

00:17:44 The Chinese will recognize the sign of the Black Samurai.

00:17:46 Then act at once to get the man in secret ahead of the Japanese.

00:17:49 We must act first.

00:17:50 Contact our army headquarters.

00:17:55 Contact no one.

00:17:58 We must not trust this message to the air.

00:18:00 It might be intercepted.

00:18:01 Sit down, River, to our lines.

00:18:03 Make a full report and have them send a plane to Mandan at once.

00:18:06 Not one, plane 50 at least.

00:18:08 Kayama seems to forget it is I who give orders here.

00:18:11 It is the Fraulein who forgets.

00:18:13 The Black Samurai is Japanese.

00:18:15 It is a division of Axis espionage and takes its orders from Berlin through me.

00:18:18 Send five men to Mandan.

00:18:21 Let them pretend to be Chinese on a peaceful mission.

00:18:24 They are to get the secret or bring back the governor a prisoner.

00:18:28 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:30 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:32 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:34 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:36 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:38 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:40 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:42 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:44 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:46 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:48 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:50 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:52 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:54 I will send the men to Mandan.

00:18:56 There will be no squadron.

00:18:58 Only one plane.

00:19:00 A private one.

00:19:01 But, Your Excellency, one plane can't do much.

00:19:04 Mandan is far from the seat of war.

00:19:07 But they are Chinese.

00:19:09 I would not question their loyalty by a threat of force.

00:19:13 Captain Wing, you will go as special envoy to act for China.

00:19:17 Suggest the governor pay me an official visit.

00:19:21 I will be ready to leave Suchong Airport at dawn tomorrow.

00:19:25 But, Your Excellency, the Japs are bound to send in some troops.

00:19:28 You must reach Mandan first and avoid the Japanese on the way back.

00:19:34 Yes, sir.

00:19:35 Now I have letters to prepare.

00:19:37 Wing, I'll meet you at the airport.

00:19:39 Right.

00:19:41 [Music]

00:20:00 Hello. Who are you?

00:20:01 I've been warned of your service.

00:20:03 Where's Captain Wing?

00:20:04 I regret to say the general changed plans.

00:20:06 Send me a substitute for Captain Wing.

00:20:09 You have the general's letters, I suppose.

00:20:11 And here. If you care to inspect them.

00:20:13 No, if you have them, that's all that's necessary.

00:20:15 Well, I guess we better show off.

00:20:17 [Music]

00:20:36 Next stop, Mandan.

00:20:37 [Music]

00:20:47 I think I take control now.

00:20:49 No, thanks. I'm enjoying it.

00:20:52 I say I take control now.

00:20:54 Better do as he says, Jim.

00:20:56 You're a very intelligent young lady.

00:20:58 Please take over while Captain Bail is out.

00:21:01 [Music]

00:21:10 Never mind, shoot. You won't need it.

00:21:12 [Music]

00:21:14 Open door.

00:21:16 Quickly. I haven't a whole day.

00:21:18 [Music]

00:21:20 [Speaking Japanese]

00:21:23 [Music]

00:21:46 [Music]

00:22:07 Clever people, these Japanese.

00:22:09 But they ought to learn pig Latin.

00:22:11 [Music]

00:22:26 You have been chosen because you can all pass for Chinese.

00:22:30 Captain Yoshida will be in charge.

00:22:33 Koshimi will act as envoy.

00:22:35 They tend to be on a peaceful mission.

00:22:38 But bring back the Mandan secret if you have to kill the entire governor's staff.

00:22:43 [Music]

00:22:46 [Engine starting]

00:22:49 [Explosion]

00:23:02 They gave us no orders what to do if the Chinese are in Mandan ahead of us.

00:23:07 They won't be.

00:23:09 Kageyama promised. Kageyama never fails.

00:23:12 [Music]

00:23:30 The down dress out of these canyons must be terrific.

00:23:33 They are.

00:23:34 Better put your shoe on.

00:23:37 [Music]

00:23:47 Any idea how far we are from Mandan?

00:23:50 Well, if my reckoning is right, we're almost there.

00:23:54 [Music]

00:24:15 Jack, I smell smoke.

00:24:17 Yeah, I've been noticing it too.

00:24:19 [Music]

00:24:24 Take over, Janet.

00:24:26 [Music]

00:24:35 Safety automatic pilots, bail out, Janet.

00:24:38 I'll try and get the Jack.

00:24:40 [Music]

00:24:45 It's no use, Jack. You can't help him.

00:24:48 Bail out!

00:24:49 [Music]

00:25:15 [Explosion]

00:25:19 [Music]

00:25:47 [Music]

00:25:57 [Explosion]

00:26:00 [Music]

00:26:18 [Explosion]

00:26:20 [Music]

00:26:49 [Music]

00:26:57 [Music]

00:27:08 The General will see Captain Wing.

00:27:13 What happened, Captain Wing?

00:27:15 Japanese agents attacked me last night, Your Excellency.

00:27:17 They stole my papers and left me for dead in the river.

00:27:19 But Captain Martin and the Australian girl left by plane at dawn.

00:27:23 Why did they go without you?

00:27:25 The Japs tricked them.

00:27:26 They sent one of their own men as substitute envoy in my place.

00:27:29 Oh, that is bad.

00:27:31 He will kill Captain Martin and steal the plane.

00:27:34 So the Japs can reach Mandan province ahead of us and find the secret route to India.

00:27:39 May I suggest, Your Excellency, that we dispatch pursuit planes at once.

00:27:42 It is too late.

00:27:43 By this time, the Jap has killed Martin.

00:27:46 Or Martin outwitted him and is now well over Mandan province.

00:27:51 [Music]

00:27:56 Set the automatic pilot to bail out, Janet.

00:27:58 I'll try and get the Jap.

00:28:00 [Music]

00:28:04 It's no use, Jack. You can't help him.

00:28:07 Bail out.

00:28:08 [Music]

00:28:37 [Music]

00:28:51 [Music]

00:29:11 [Music]

00:29:40 All right?

00:29:41 I'm all right, but you certainly gave me a scare.

00:29:43 I thought your parachute never would open.

00:29:45 Well, you certainly don't think I did that for laughs, do you?

00:29:47 No, that Jap followed my ripcord. It wouldn't work.

00:29:49 Nice fellow.

00:29:50 Yeah.

00:29:51 And a nice friendly place we picked to land.

00:29:54 What do we do now?

00:29:56 We'll get to the village of Mandan, if we can find it.

00:29:59 How are we going to make them know we're friendly?

00:30:01 My brother couldn't.

00:30:02 Well, we can't worry about that now.

00:30:03 The Japs are bound to have men on their way here by this time.

00:30:06 No planes inside yet.

00:30:08 Oh, thank goodness.

00:30:10 Look, let's follow that trail.

00:30:12 [Music]

00:30:17 TBS calling 42X.

00:30:19 TBS calling 42X.

00:30:21 Come in, please.

00:30:23 42X answering TBS.

00:30:26 Go ahead, TBS.

00:30:28 Put Captain Yoshido on.

00:30:34 Captain Yoshido speaking, Fräulein von Teufel.

00:30:38 What is your position?

00:30:41 We are within a few minutes of Mandan.

00:30:44 Good.

00:30:45 Have your men stand by for instructions.

00:30:48 The papers we stole for you will convince the governor you were Chinese.

00:30:51 As such, he will give you the secret of the Mandan route to India.

00:30:54 Is that clear?

00:30:56 Perfectly.

00:30:57 And before you return, dispose of him and the high priest.

00:31:01 And the secret will die with them.

00:31:03 Any questions?

00:31:05 No questions.

00:31:07 Good.

00:31:08 That is all.

00:31:10 [Music]

00:31:22 Looks as though they might stop us after all.

00:31:25 [Music]

00:31:27 Well, they can't stop us from trying.

00:31:29 [Music]

00:31:32 [Speaking Chinese]

00:31:35 Don't let them see you're frightened.

00:31:37 [Music]

00:31:44 [Speaking Chinese]

00:31:46 All right, all right, you don't like us.

00:31:48 But we've got to get some horses and a guide.

00:31:50 We must get to the governor of Mandan at once.

00:31:52 Probably to save his life.

00:31:54 The men on that plane are Japanese.

00:31:56 Japanese in devil's boots?

00:31:57 Right.

00:31:58 Mandan don't have got anything they want.

00:31:59 They want the secret of the Mandan route to India.

00:32:01 How do you know so much?

00:32:02 The Chinese government sent us to warn you.

00:32:04 [Speaking Chinese]

00:32:09 Come.

00:32:10 [Music]

00:32:15 Give me a hand.

00:32:17 [Music]

00:32:36 There is the village of Mandan.

00:32:38 Circle and land.

00:32:40 [Music]

00:33:07 You will have guns ready if you signal.

00:33:10 [Music]

00:33:21 What is your business with us?

00:33:23 We bring word to your governor, Maling, from the Chinese generalissimo.

00:33:28 [Music]

00:33:49 Maling, governor of Mandan province, graciously welcomes his friends of the outer world.

00:33:54 [Music]

00:33:57 It is said you bring a command from his excellency, Chinese generalissimo.

00:34:02 Not a command, but a humble request which you alone can grant.

00:34:07 [Music]

00:34:21 His excellency requires nothing of you except the Mandan secret.

00:34:27 The Mandan secret.

00:34:29 The secret route to India.

00:34:32 [Music]

00:34:38 It may be the means of saving all China from her enemies.

00:34:42 The means of saving all China.

00:34:45 But to open the road will bring armies and destroy our peace.

00:34:50 But if it will save China, fetch me parchment and ink.

00:34:56 I shall draw a chart of the secret route.

00:35:00 [Music]

00:35:24 Nine centuries Mandan has guarded this secret.

00:35:28 It is Mandan's sacrifice for China.

00:35:32 [Music]

00:35:37 [Speaking Chinese]

00:35:40 [Music]

00:35:46 Stop your excellency! Don't give it to them!

00:35:48 [Music]

00:35:50 Your pardon. This man claimed audience to say that these are not Chinese envoys.

00:35:54 Not Chinese envoys.

00:35:55 No, your excellency. We are.

00:35:58 Have you papers to prove this?

00:35:59 No, they were stolen.

00:36:01 An unlikely story. China does not use foreigners as envoys.

00:36:06 Certainly this man is not Chinese.

00:36:08 I don't claim to be Chinese. And neither are you.

00:36:11 I'm an American. And these men are Japanese.

00:36:14 Many nations want the Mandan secret.

00:36:16 First came a Hindu. He escaped.

00:36:19 Then a Briton. He is our prisoner.

00:36:22 He is my brother. I came here with China's request for his release.

00:36:25 Now men who claim to be Chinese and an American who says they are from Japan.

00:36:30 I dare not give the secret to anyone.

00:36:33 For I do not know friend from enemy.

00:36:36 I have a suggestion, your excellency.

00:36:43 Let us all fly to Chongqing.

00:36:45 The Generalissimo will soon tell you who is his envoy.

00:36:48 No. Once in their plane they fly straight to the Japanese headquarters and we can not stop them.

00:36:52 I must have time to consider.

00:36:55 Put these two with the girl's brother.

00:37:03 Put the others in comfortable quarters under lock and key.

00:37:13 Now you are going to tell us what we came to find out.

00:37:16 It will take long to make me tell that.

00:37:19 You are coming back with us. We shall have plenty of time.

00:37:22 Stand guard over these men. We must get rid of the three foreigners.

00:37:26 Janice.

00:37:36 And smile and check himself.

00:37:38 Hello.

00:37:39 Are you okay? We heard you were injured.

00:37:42 Not badly. I'm still a little weak.

00:37:45 Does this mean that you are prisoners too?

00:37:47 Yes, Tony. For the time being, we are in the hands of the Japanese.

00:37:51 The Japanese? It sounds like the highlands have you.

00:37:54 Yes, I know. But what do you hear?

00:37:56 What we have to do is convince Marlene that you are telling the truth.

00:38:07 And get rid of those Japs.

00:38:09 You will never do either of those two things.

00:38:12 Marlene is flying out with us as our prisoner.

00:38:15 But not until we have rid ourselves of you.

00:38:18 If I'm any judge, you'll never get anything out of Marlene.

00:38:22 We Japanese are very thorough in everything we do.

00:38:34 Hey, you little man. Give me something to tie him up with.

00:38:37 Now then, where are you holding Marlene?

00:38:40 Oh, they'll never talk. We got to do this on our own. Keep him covered.

00:38:43 Tony, do you know any place where Janet will be safe for a little while?

00:38:48 Yes, yes I do. The temple.

00:38:50 The high priest is tops here.

00:38:52 And he won't stand for any violence in the house of worship.

00:38:55 Good. You both go there.

00:38:57 I'll join you later.

00:38:59 What are you going to do?

00:39:01 I'm going to fix that plane. So they can't run off with Marlene.

00:39:05 Get out of here.

00:39:17 Get out, he asks.

00:39:19 [music]

00:39:48 [music]

00:39:51 [music]

00:39:54 [music]

00:39:57 Get men quickly. The foreigners have escaped.

00:39:59 They're going to the temple to kill the high priest.

00:40:01 Stop the white people. Stop the white people.

00:40:07 They're going to kill our son.

00:40:09 All right, hold it.

00:40:21 Forget that gun.

00:40:23 Now tie him up.

00:40:25 I said tie him up.

00:40:27 You are going to the plane with us.

00:40:35 Walk quietly and with dignity.

00:40:38 Make no outcry.

00:40:40 [music]

00:41:02 [music]

00:41:04 Looks like they're after us.

00:41:06 [music]

00:41:08 (men shouting)

00:41:10 (dramatic music)

00:41:13 (men shouting)

00:41:41 - What is the meaning of this sacrilege?

00:41:43 - They came to take our life.

00:41:45 - That's not true.

00:41:46 (men shouting)

00:41:49 - This holy place is sanctuary to all

00:41:55 who come seeking refuge, no matter what their offense.

00:42:00 (bell ringing)

00:42:04 Come.

00:42:06 (men shouting)

00:42:09 - What happened?

00:42:13 - The foreign attack us.

00:42:14 We must be gone before he returns with help.

00:42:16 - Start motor.

00:42:17 - Motor will not start.

00:42:28 Somebody has to have it with the ignition.

00:42:30 The meter is missing.

00:42:31 Foreign devil took it so he could not leave.

00:42:33 - His friends went to the temple.

00:42:35 He may have joined them.

00:42:36 - You must stand guard here.

00:42:37 Others come with me.

00:42:38 - What about the people outside?

00:42:39 - We shall take them with us.

00:42:41 I will tell them it is Ma Ling's order.

00:42:43 Come with me.

00:42:48 - I'm trying to tell you that Ma Ling is in danger

00:42:57 and we must have help to save him.

00:42:59 Tommy, give me a gun.

00:43:02 Here, take these.

00:43:05 Surely we wouldn't disarm ourselves if we were enemies.

00:43:08 - I'm beginning to believe that you are...

00:43:12 - Sounds like more trouble.

00:43:15 - Keep out of sight.

00:43:16 - Get them.

00:43:19 - We want the foreigners you are sheltering.

00:43:30 - It is forbidden that I give them up.

00:43:32 - They have stolen property of ours.

00:43:35 - Wait here.

00:43:35 You cannot find them unless I lead you to them.

00:43:42 And that I will not do.

00:43:43 The men see you have property belonging to them.

00:44:00 - That's right.

00:44:02 - It must be returned to them.

00:44:04 - Oh, but it's part of their plane.

00:44:05 Without it, they can't leave with Ma Ling.

00:44:07 - It is their property.

00:44:09 - All right.

00:44:13 You're Ma Ling's friend

00:44:14 and you're willing to be the cause of his death.

00:44:17 Go ahead, return it.

00:44:19 - And they cannot leave without it?

00:44:29 Come.

00:44:33 I shall hide you.

00:44:34 - Let no one follow me.

00:44:37 I shall take care of the foreigners and the priest.

00:44:40 - Wait here and I shall open the door to a secret passage.

00:44:51 (dramatic music)

00:44:53 - Enter.

00:45:18 I shall close the door after you.

00:45:19 (dramatic music)

00:45:22 - There is a secret chamber at the head of the stairs

00:45:28 where you will be comfortable.

00:45:30 I shall return for you when it is safe.

00:45:32 - Let's see what's up there.

00:45:39 - I don't feel quite up to it.

00:45:40 If you don't mind, I'll wait for you here.

00:45:43 - I'd better stay with Tommy.

00:45:44 (dramatic music)

00:45:47 - Stop where you are.

00:45:56 Move up, please.

00:45:56 Turn around and come down slowly and no tricks.

00:46:01 (guns firing)

00:47:11 (dramatic music)

00:47:14 (dramatic music)

00:47:41 (dramatic music)

00:47:43 - What word have you had from Yoshido?

00:48:08 - None, Fragon von Teufel.

00:48:10 - Have you tried to reach him?

00:48:11 - I felt it was not safe.

00:48:13 The Chinese might intercept the message.

00:48:15 - It will be worse for us if they get the secret

00:48:18 of the Mandon Road ahead of us.

00:48:20 Get me Yoshido's plane.

00:48:24 - Yes, Madam Lion.

00:48:25 - TBS calling for 2X.

00:48:30 TBS calling for 2X.

00:48:31 (dramatic music)

00:48:33 TBS calling for 2X.

00:48:34 TBS calling for 2X.

00:48:39 TBS calling for 2X.

00:48:40 - 4-2-X answering TBS.

00:48:45 Go ahead, please.

00:48:46 - What is your position, Schumer?

00:48:48 - We are still in Mandon, Fraulein.

00:48:51 I'm holding the governor and his eight prisoners in the plane.

00:48:54 - Why haven't you started back with him?

00:48:57 - We cannot start the plane.

00:48:59 Martin the American has tampered with the ignition,

00:49:02 stole the meter, and took refuge in the temple.

00:49:04 Yoshido has gone to get it.

00:49:05 - Let no one follow me.

00:49:08 I shall take care of the foreigners and the priest.

00:49:11 (men chattering)

00:49:14 (dramatic music)

00:49:18 - There is a secret chamber at the head of the stairs

00:49:31 where you will be comfortable.

00:49:33 I shall return for you when it is safe.

00:49:36 (dramatic music)

00:49:39 - Let's see what's up there.

00:49:43 - I don't feel quite up to it.

00:49:44 If you don't mind, I'll wait for you here.

00:49:46 - I'd better stay with Tommy.

00:49:48 (dramatic music)

00:49:52 - Stop where you are.

00:50:03 Move up, please.

00:50:07 Turn around and come down slowly.

00:50:09 (gun firing)

00:50:13 - So sorry, you are no further use to me.

00:50:31 (gun firing)

00:50:35 (gun firing)

00:50:36 - Jack, I thought you were dead.

00:50:37 - I had to make it look that way to catch him off guard.

00:50:40 (dramatic music)

00:50:43 Here, Tommy, it's empty, but it'll serve to bluff with.

00:50:48 - Mine's loaded.

00:50:49 - Good.

00:50:50 (dramatic music)

00:50:53 (men chattering)

00:51:02 (dramatic music)

00:51:05 - Time over, we'll shoot.

00:51:13 - Put down those guns.

00:51:14 (gun firing)

00:51:16 - These people are friends.

00:51:27 The others are Japanese.

00:51:29 - If they are friends, what have they done with Ma Ling?

00:51:31 - Nothing, these Japs have him a prisoner in their airplane.

00:51:34 - Is this true?

00:51:35 - I believe it is true.

00:51:37 - Throw the prisoners in chains,

00:51:38 then we shall free Ma Ling.

00:51:39 - No, no, wait.

00:51:41 One man armed with a gun like this

00:51:43 is more than a match and 100 armed with clubs.

00:51:45 - Would you have us abandon Ma Ling because we are afraid?

00:51:47 - No, but I think we can rescue him without bloodshed.

00:51:50 If my plan succeeds, will you help us prove to Ma Ling

00:51:53 that we are his friends?

00:51:54 (dramatic music)

00:51:57 (dramatic music)

00:51:59 - Show him this ring.

00:52:05 Nothing else could prove my faith so well.

00:52:08 - I appreciate your confidence.

00:52:10 Bring those prisoners inside.

00:52:11 Tommy, I've got a job for you.

00:52:13 - The town is quiet.

00:52:16 I cannot believe anything has happened to...

00:52:26 - I think I see them returning.

00:52:27 - Yes, Chu Shimi and some natives are coming.

00:52:32 - They have Martin and the Australian girl prisoners.

00:52:35 - Drop that gun.

00:52:51 Get to the rear compartment.

00:52:54 - Something's gone wrong.

00:52:56 - Obviously.

00:52:56 - But be quiet.

00:52:58 The radio is still open.

00:52:59 - Now, Your Excellency,

00:53:00 are you ready to go back to Shanking with us?

00:53:02 - Why should I?

00:53:03 - Why, to give China the Mandan secret.

00:53:04 - How do I know you are agents for China?

00:53:06 - Well, haven't we proved we're friends?

00:53:08 - You prove these men are enemies.

00:53:09 That does not prove you are friends.

00:53:11 Many nations want the secret of our route to India.

00:53:14 - Lo San gave me that to give to you.

00:53:16 - The state seal of Mandan.

00:53:17 - That should prove we're friends.

00:53:19 - It only proves Lo San believes you are.

00:53:21 Lo San could be mistaken.

00:53:24 - All right, Your Excellency.

00:53:25 - If you leave the plane, we'll go back to Shanking

00:53:27 and the general will send an envoy that you will trust.

00:53:30 I only hope it'll not be too late.

00:53:32 - You mean you will leave without us?

00:53:34 - Certainly.

00:53:35 The general sent us to invite you to Shanking,

00:53:37 not to bring you by force.

00:53:39 - I see.

00:53:39 These people have proved they are our friends.

00:53:45 I am going with them to Shanking

00:53:46 to give China information vital to her safety.

00:53:49 We are ready.

00:53:52 - Thank you, Your Excellency.

00:53:55 - Take off before he changes his mind.

00:53:57 Hey, look, that radio switch has been open all the time.

00:54:00 I suppose those Japs have heard everything that's happened.

00:54:03 - Your plan failed, Frau Leiners.

00:54:06 I predicted it.

00:54:08 Call our lines.

00:54:09 Order a patrol up to intercept and shoot down the plane.

00:54:11 - No, I forbid it.

00:54:13 - You forbid?

00:54:14 The Black Samurai is a Japanese organization.

00:54:17 We are quite tired of taking orders from a foreigner.

00:54:20 - The Black Samurai is a division of Axis espionage.

00:54:23 It takes its orders from Berlin through me.

00:54:25 Ma Ling is to be captured, not killed.

00:54:27 - That is easier said than done.

00:54:30 - There is always a way.

00:54:31 - Jack Martin calling GHQ.

00:54:42 Jack Martin calling GHQ.

00:54:44 Come in, GHQ.

00:54:45 GHQ answering Jack Martin.

00:54:48 Go ahead, please.

00:54:49 - Tune in Chinese headquarters.

00:54:51 Let's hear what Martin has to report.

00:54:53 - Inform His Excellency the General

00:54:59 that ML accepts invitation.

00:55:00 - Arrive Shung King five hours.

00:55:03 Suggest a fighter escort.

00:55:05 Japs may try to intercept.

00:55:06 - Convey my respects to ML

00:55:20 and say that fighter planes will meet them

00:55:22 a half hour from Shung King and escort them in.

00:55:25 - GHQ calling Jack Martin.

00:55:31 GHQ calling Jack Martin.

00:55:33 Come in, please.

00:55:34 - Martin answering GHQ.

00:55:37 Go ahead, GHQ.

00:55:39 - His Excellency says to convey his respects to ML

00:55:44 and says fighter planes will meet you

00:55:46 one half hour from Shung King to escort you in.

00:55:49 - That is all.

00:55:50 - Martin will not reach Shung King.

00:55:52 Contact Japanese Army headquarters.

00:55:54 - TBS calling Togo HQ.

00:55:59 TBS calling Togo HQ.

00:56:01 Come in, please.

00:56:02 - Tojo headquarters answering TBS.

00:56:06 Go ahead.

00:56:07 - Say it is imperative Shung King be bombed

00:56:10 in exactly four hours.

00:56:12 - Inform staff.

00:56:16 Shung King must be bombed in exactly four hours.

00:56:19 - Do you really expect the Army

00:56:20 to change its campaign to please you?

00:56:22 - I do.

00:56:23 - Get that Jap station again.

00:56:27 It's just possible we may find out something.

00:56:30 - Not much chance.

00:56:31 They'll probably use code.

00:56:32 - So we're trying.

00:56:33 - General Tojo says he cannot change his plans

00:56:40 without the highest authority.

00:56:42 - Tell him he shall have it.

00:56:48 From the highest authority.

00:56:50 Copy carefully.

00:56:53 The key is Kamarad Schwarz.

00:56:57 Have you got that?

00:56:59 - I have it.

00:57:02 Proceed.

00:57:03 (speaking in foreign language)

00:57:08 - Sounds like German.

00:57:10 - It is German.

00:57:11 Listen.

00:57:12 (speaking in foreign language)

00:57:16 - And it's code too.

00:57:18 She says, "Thank heaven the table is set over Shung King."

00:57:22 (speaking in foreign language)

00:57:26 - Frohlein von Teufel?

00:57:29 That's the most dangerous spy in the Orient.

00:57:31 - Yes, and she's probably talking about us.

00:57:33 We know she's been detailed by the Japs

00:57:35 to get Marlene's secret.

00:57:36 - General Tojo acknowledges authority

00:57:39 and will obey instructions in detail.

00:57:41 - The next move is to keep Martin misinformed.

00:57:45 Get Martin.

00:57:47 Pretend to be calling from Chinese headquarters.

00:57:49 - Better turn back to our headquarters.

00:57:52 They may be wanting to reach us.

00:57:53 - GSQ calling Jeff Martin.

00:57:58 - GSQ calling Martin.

00:58:00 Come in, please.

00:58:01 - Jack Martin answering GHQ.

00:58:05 Go ahead, GHQ.

00:58:06 - Repeat this.

00:58:08 Have reason to believe Japanese listening in

00:58:10 on this wave band.

00:58:11 - Have reason to believe.

00:58:13 - Japs listening on this wave band.

00:58:16 If we have to contact you,

00:58:18 we will use highest possible frequency

00:58:20 to avoid interception.

00:58:22 - Good.

00:58:23 We'll stay tuned to that wave band.

00:58:25 - The Chinese will never try to reach him on that wave band,

00:58:32 but we can contact him whenever we want to.

00:58:35 Contact 34G.

00:58:37 Tell him to have at 415 a good-looking sedan at...

00:58:41 (suspenseful music)

00:58:44 - Take 12 pursuit planes.

00:58:49 Intercept Captain Martin en route from Mandon

00:58:52 and escort him in.

00:58:53 - Yes, sir.

00:58:54 - Japanese bombers are reported

00:59:04 approaching Chongqing in force, sir.

00:59:06 - What strength?

00:59:07 - At least 200.

00:59:08 - Overtake Captain Wing.

00:59:09 Countermand his instructions.

00:59:10 Order all fighter planes into the air.

00:59:12 - Yes, sir.

00:59:13 - Contact Jack Martin.

00:59:16 Tell him not to try to reach Chongqing,

00:59:18 but to keep in constant communication for further orders.

00:59:21 (whistling)

00:59:31 (explosion)

00:59:39 GHQ calling Jack Martin.

00:59:41 Come in, please.

00:59:42 GHQ calling Jack Martin.

00:59:51 Come in, please.

00:59:52 GHQ calling Jack Martin.

01:00:00 GHQ calling Jack Martin.

01:00:03 Come in, please.

01:00:04 - Seems strange we haven't met our escort yet.

01:00:08 - Sure does.

01:00:09 We're within a few minutes.

01:00:10 - Do you see what I see?

01:00:14 It looks like those German planes the Japs are using.

01:00:21 - Of course they are.

01:00:25 Look, the bombing Chongqing.

01:00:27 - This is no place for us.

01:00:33 (dramatic music)

01:00:35 - Regret report unable to reach Martin, sir.

01:00:44 - Yes, sir.

01:00:47 - GHQ calling Jack Martin.

01:00:52 - I wonder why headquarters hasn't tried to contact us.

01:00:56 - I can't imagine.

01:00:58 Guess I'll have to call into them for orders.

01:01:00 I don't like to do it.

01:01:01 (dramatic music)

01:01:04 - Jack Martin calling GHQ.

01:01:08 Jack Martin calling GHQ.

01:01:10 Jack Martin calling GHQ.

01:01:13 Come in, GHQ.

01:01:15 - The trick worked.

01:01:16 Read him my message.

01:01:17 He'll believe he's contacted his own headquarters.

01:01:20 - GHQ answering Jack Martin.

01:01:27 They've been trying to reach you.

01:01:29 Japanese are bombing Chongqing.

01:01:31 I'm safe to come in.

01:01:33 Yes, I know, but I can't stay in the air much longer.

01:01:36 I'm practically out of gas.

01:01:38 Make landing at Fuchang.

01:01:40 Feel abandoned but safe.

01:01:41 - Kurt is waiting to pick up your party.

01:01:43 - Good.

01:01:45 I'm inside of Fuchang now.

01:01:47 - That's service for you.

01:01:50 - Within a couple of hours,

01:01:55 Ma Ling and the Mandan secret will be in Japanese hands.

01:01:58 (dramatic music)

01:02:01 - Well, here we are.

01:02:15 - There's the taxi.

01:02:16 - Load 'em up, Tommy, and get 'em back to our lines.

01:02:19 - Right.

01:02:20 - Aren't you coming?

01:02:27 - No, I'm gonna stay here and bring in our prisoner.

01:02:29 - Then I'll stay and go in with you.

01:02:31 - Oh, no, you won't.

01:02:32 You're going with the rest of them if I have to carry you.

01:02:35 - Inside.

01:02:37 Quickly.

01:02:38 - Those soldiers are Japs.

01:02:49 - Oh, no, don't.

01:02:50 You might get Ma Ling.

01:02:51 - I only wanna get their tires.

01:02:53 Oh, it's too late.

01:02:58 (dramatic music)

01:03:00 - What could we possibly do in the air?

01:03:20 - Follow that car and keep headquarters posted.

01:03:22 - I don't know how the Japs knew

01:03:23 we were going to land at Fuchang.

01:03:25 - I think it was the Japs themselves

01:03:26 that advised me to land there.

01:03:28 - How could they?

01:03:29 You were tuned into our headquarters.

01:03:30 - Yes, that's what I thought.

01:03:32 But now I think it was the Japs

01:03:33 that steered me onto that highway bend,

01:03:35 where they could find me and our headquarters couldn't.

01:03:37 - GHQ calling Jack Martin.

01:03:44 - Jack Martin answering.

01:03:47 - I've tried to contact you.

01:03:48 Everything's gone wrong.

01:03:49 Ma Ling has been captured by the Japs.

01:03:51 They're headed east on the Fuchang Road.

01:03:54 Suggest you send an armed car to intercept.

01:03:57 We'll keep it posted from the air.

01:03:59 That is all.

01:04:00 - HQ, transportation, quick.

01:04:05 Send armed radio car west on Fuchang Road.

01:04:09 Intercept Japanese C-10 bearing Japanese soldiers.

01:04:12 - Jack Martin calling cop 43.

01:04:25 Jack Martin calling cop 43.

01:04:27 Japs still headed east.

01:04:34 We'll advise you if they change course.

01:04:36 That is all.

01:04:37 - Hang on, Janet.

01:04:41 I think I can stop them myself.

01:04:42 (dramatic music)

01:04:45 - The plane is diving on us.

01:05:07 (dramatic music)

01:05:09 - Mechanism's stuck.

01:05:24 - Jack, pick up the Chinese car.

01:05:29 (dramatic music)

01:05:32 (dramatic music)

01:05:34 - We turn them back towards our own lines.

01:05:38 Keep after them.

01:05:39 (dramatic music)

01:05:42 Try and get close enough for me to hit their tires.

01:06:00 (dramatic music)

01:06:03 - Chinese chasing us along Fuchang Road toward their lines.

01:06:18 Suggest you fly over and bomb them.

01:06:29 (dramatic music)

01:06:32 (dramatic music)

01:06:55 (dramatic music)

01:06:58 (dramatic music)

01:07:01 (explosion booms)

01:07:28 (dramatic music)

01:07:31 (dramatic music)

01:07:33 (dramatic music)

01:07:36 (dramatic music)

01:08:04 (explosion booms)

01:08:07 (dramatic music)

01:08:10 (explosion booms)

01:08:21 - Captain Martin's party never could have flown in

01:08:25 through this raid.

01:08:26 Have you heard from them?

01:08:27 - Yes, sir.

01:08:27 They landed at Fuchang.

01:08:28 The Japs captured Maling

01:08:29 and are heading for their lines by auto.

01:08:31 - Then the secret of the Mandarin route to India

01:08:33 is lost to China.

01:08:34 - Not necessarily, Captain Wing.

01:08:35 I've sent soldiers to help Martin,

01:08:37 but have not heard of...

01:08:38 (dramatic music)

01:08:41 (tires screeching)

01:08:45 - Jack Martin calling General Headquarters.

01:08:49 Come in, General Headquarters.

01:08:51 - Go ahead, Jack.

01:08:52 This is Wing.

01:08:53 What happened?

01:08:54 Are you all right?

01:08:55 - Hiya, Wing.

01:08:56 Yeah, we're all right so far.

01:08:58 Our soldiers picked us up right behind the Japs

01:09:00 that got Maling.

01:09:01 By the way, we left a Jap prisoner in the plane

01:09:03 on the Fuchang Road.

01:09:04 (dramatic music)

01:09:08 - Try and get close enough for me to hit their tires.

01:09:18 (gun firing)

01:09:25 (dramatic music)

01:09:28 (airplane roaring)

01:09:31 - Doesn't look so good for us, Wing.

01:09:36 There's a Jap bomber on our tail.

01:09:39 (airplane roaring)

01:09:43 (dramatic music)

01:09:46 - A direct hit on Chinese car.

01:10:05 - Good.

01:10:07 Report back to your base.

01:10:12 - With Maling in Japanese hands,

01:10:14 we will soon have the Mandan secret.

01:10:16 (dramatic music)

01:10:19 (gun firing)

01:10:35 (gun firing)

01:10:38 - Drop your guns!

01:10:56 All right, put the prisoners in that car.

01:11:01 We'll follow them this way.

01:11:03 (dramatic music)

01:11:06 - Pile him in too.

01:11:09 And don't radio headquarters.

01:11:10 We've had too many messages intercepted.

01:11:12 - Well, Your Excellency,

01:11:14 I think you reached Shunking safely now.

01:11:16 - I have no doubt of it.

01:11:17 You have earned my complete confidence.

01:11:20 (dramatic music)

01:11:23 - With Maling safely in Japanese hands,

01:11:32 I shall slip into our lines

01:11:33 and learn more about his secret route to India.

01:11:36 (dramatic music)

01:11:46 (dramatic music)

01:11:49 (dramatic music)

01:11:52 (men chattering)

01:12:11 (dramatic music)

01:12:17 (dramatic music)

01:12:20 (speaking in foreign language)

01:12:24 (dramatic music)

01:12:27 - Gee, fella, I was afraid you'd never make it.

01:12:40 - Well, for a while, so was I.

01:12:42 Good to see you again, old man.

01:12:43 - Same here.

01:12:43 - Oh, Captain Wing, this is His Excellency Maling,

01:12:46 Governor of Mandon Province.

01:12:47 Captain Wing is the real envoy the General sent

01:12:50 and whose papers were stolen.

01:12:51 - The General is waiting to receive Your Excellency.

01:12:53 - Well, I guess that ends my part in this affair.

01:12:55 If Your Excellency will excuse me.

01:12:57 - Not yet.

01:12:58 Your part is not ended

01:12:59 till I have thanked the General in your presence

01:13:01 for entrusting me to a man so resourceful.

01:13:04 - His Excellency, the Governor of Mandon Province.

01:13:14 - Your Excellency's visit to us

01:13:16 will live forever in the memory of all loyal Chinese.

01:13:19 (dramatic music)

01:13:26 (upbeat music)

01:13:32 (speaking in foreign language)

01:13:42 (upbeat music)

01:13:45 - Has Miss Thompson returned yet?

01:13:50 - Janet, dear.

01:13:51 - It's true.

01:13:52 - Your maid told me you've been

01:13:53 to some heathenish place in the provinces.

01:13:55 It's good to have you back safely.

01:13:56 - It's good to be back, I assure you.

01:13:58 But how did you know I'd return?

01:14:03 - Well, I didn't really know,

01:14:04 but I thought I saw your brother and Captain Martin

01:14:06 in a car with some funny old Chinese men

01:14:08 and I had to find out.

01:14:10 Tell me all about it.

01:14:11 Was the trip a success?

01:14:13 - Well, I brought my brother back.

01:14:15 Beyond that, I'm not supposed to say anything.

01:14:19 - I'm sorry.

01:14:19 I didn't really mean to pry.

01:14:21 - Of course not.

01:14:22 But Tommy always says--

01:14:24 - No, he even talked to your best friend,

01:14:26 no knowing who else may be listening.

01:14:28 I understand.

01:14:29 Well, I have to run along.

01:14:31 - I can have some tea in the jiffy.

01:14:33 - Oh, thanks, I haven't time.

01:14:34 I have some shopping to do, you know.

01:14:36 Is there any chops left after the raid?

01:14:38 I'll drop in later, maybe.

01:14:40 Bye.

01:14:41 - Bye.

01:14:41 (cup clatters)

01:14:42 - From what I have seen of the outside world,

01:14:45 I am more than ever determined

01:14:47 to maintain the isolation of Mandon.

01:14:49 We are poor in goods,

01:14:52 but rich in the peace that gives life meaning.

01:14:56 - That does not mean Your Excellency

01:14:58 will not give us the Mandon secret.

01:15:00 I trust--

01:15:01 - My loyalty to China demands that I give it to you.

01:15:05 But I must be assured that the road

01:15:08 will be closed to the world after the war.

01:15:12 - I promise for China the road will be closed

01:15:15 at the end of the war.

01:15:17 - I trust you, but all roads have two ends.

01:15:22 How can I know that India will consent to closing her end?

01:15:26 - Well, as a Briton, I'm sure my government

01:15:28 will agree to that.

01:15:29 - That is reassuring.

01:15:31 I shall consider and give my answer in the morning.

01:15:35 - Your Excellency, may I point out

01:15:37 just one of the dangers of delay?

01:15:39 The Japs want that secret.

01:15:42 Having failed to get it, they will not hesitate

01:15:44 to kill you so that you can't give it to China.

01:15:46 - I must put the welfare of my people before my own safety.

01:15:52 Now, if you will show me to my quarters,

01:15:55 I shall consider my answer.

01:15:57 - Shall His Excellency to the rooms prepare for him

01:16:00 and place a guard at every entrance.

01:16:04 (door creaking)

01:16:06 - You are right.

01:16:16 So long as His Excellency Ma Ling is the only one

01:16:18 who knows the man down secret,

01:16:20 the Black Samurai will surely try to kill him.

01:16:23 - But even the Black Samurai cannot get past your guards.

01:16:26 - Oh, don't underestimate them.

01:16:28 Haven't they already bombed Shang King

01:16:29 to keep him from getting here?

01:16:31 - Well, there's only one simple solution.

01:16:33 That's to make them think that he's already told you.

01:16:36 - How will you do that?

01:16:38 Shout it from the rooftops?

01:16:41 - No, much simpler, sir.

01:16:42 We already know that they've intercepted

01:16:44 some of our shortwave broadcasts.

01:16:46 Why not broadcast some misinformation

01:16:48 that we want them to get?

01:16:49 - Excellent.

01:16:54 So, the infallible throne from Teufel has failed.

01:17:01 Let the man in secret slip through to the enemy.

01:17:03 And will you demand from yourself

01:17:06 the same penalty for failure

01:17:07 as you demand from the Black Samurai?

01:17:09 Death by your own hand?

01:17:12 - I am not Japanese.

01:17:14 I am the Axis agent who gives you orders.

01:17:16 Orders with the strength of Der Fuehrer behind them.

01:17:19 - Perhaps the Black Samurai will refuse your orders,

01:17:23 now that we know you are a fallible throne from Teufel.

01:17:30 - So to do it.

01:17:31 - Now, you're sure there is no such station as ODT?

01:17:34 - Positive.

01:17:34 - Okay, now we want this to sound like a call

01:17:36 coming from here and an answer from a distance.

01:17:39 So when I talk, plenty of volume.

01:17:41 When he talks, cut it down.

01:17:43 Got it?

01:17:44 - Yes, sir.

01:17:45 - Let's go.

01:17:46 Jack Martin calling ODT.

01:17:52 Martin calling ODT.

01:17:54 Come in, please.

01:17:55 - Martin is calling someone.

01:17:59 I thought you might want to hear for yourself.

01:18:01 - Jack Martin calling ODT.

01:18:06 Martin calling ODT.

01:18:08 - Come in, please.

01:18:09 - ODT answering Martin.

01:18:14 Go ahead, Martin.

01:18:15 - Have succeeded in getting Mandon's secret.

01:18:20 - Advise your State Department

01:18:22 I am leaving with it tomorrow.

01:18:23 - Repeat message back.

01:18:27 - ODT repeating message to Jack Martin.

01:18:30 - Have succeeded in getting Mandon's secret.

01:18:32 Advise State Department, leaving with it tomorrow.

01:18:35 - Right, have message delivered immediately.

01:18:40 It's urgent.

01:18:41 - That is all.

01:18:43 - So you think I have failed.

01:18:44 Before morning, I will have both Martin

01:18:47 and the Mandon secret.

01:18:48 Send Hito to me.

01:18:51 - Of course you know this makes you the Jack target

01:18:56 instead of Marlene.

01:18:57 - Sure, but that's the general idea.

01:18:59 - Then we'll have to stick right with him

01:19:00 till he's out of danger.

01:19:01 - Right.

01:19:02 - No, no, you don't.

01:19:02 They're more apt to jump me if I'm alone

01:19:03 and I might get a lead on the black samurai.

01:19:05 - Well, we'll stay close anyway.

01:19:06 And if you get in too deep, give us a signal.

01:19:08 - With this.

01:19:09 - Okay.

01:19:12 Come on, let's get washed up in a bite tea.

01:19:14 (dramatic music)

01:19:18 (dramatic music)

01:19:20 - Hold it.

01:19:38 - Just where you are.

01:19:40 - Please, you do not mean to shoot me?

01:19:42 - I haven't made up my mind yet.

01:19:45 (dramatic music)

01:19:47 - Nice boy.

01:19:56 One of the black samurai, huh?

01:20:06 - I haven't got honor.

01:20:07 - Well, you better have that sign removed from your chest then.

01:20:13 - Please, do not have me arrested.

01:20:15 They will kill me.

01:20:16 - Oh well, the black samurai,

01:20:17 the penalty for failure is death.

01:20:20 - I do not want to die.

01:20:21 - Neither did the men you've killed.

01:20:24 - I make bargain.

01:20:25 - What kind of a bargain?

01:20:27 - You want information about black samurai.

01:20:30 I take it to their leader.

01:20:32 (speaking in foreign language)

01:20:34 - What about my bringing a couple of friends along?

01:20:36 - I could not get more than one past the guards.

01:20:42 - Okay, it's a deal.

01:20:44 - There they go.

01:21:00 - Jack was right.

01:21:01 One of those nips was waiting inside for him.

01:21:03 (dramatic music)

01:21:06 - You first.

01:21:28 (dramatic music)

01:21:30 - You asked me to take you to Fola and Bantuifo.

01:21:48 I've done so.

01:21:49 - All right, where is she?

01:21:50 - Behind this screen, of course.

01:21:52 You have walked into a trap with your eyes shut.

01:21:57 - Oh no, I didn't.

01:21:59 My eyes were wide open.

01:22:01 I came to see you and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

01:22:04 Now, why should you want to see me?

01:22:21 - I think you know why.

01:22:23 I want the secret of the Amandine route to India.

01:22:28 - Well, you've got the wrong man.

01:22:30 I don't know the secret.

01:22:32 - I will give you a moment to change your mind about that.

01:22:36 - I'm positive that he came this way.

01:22:40 - We better start hunting.

01:22:41 He may need us.

01:22:42 - You still say I can't tell you

01:22:46 because I don't know the secret.

01:22:48 - You are wasting time.

01:22:50 I intercepted your call to ODT.

01:22:52 - You know all the answers, don't you?

01:22:56 - Do not take too long to start talking.

01:22:59 Where they signal from me, my men will start shooting.

01:23:03 - Well, in that case, I need help.

01:23:08 (whistle blows)

01:23:09 (gunshots)

01:23:12 (dramatic music)

01:23:14 (gunshots)

01:23:44 (whistle blows)

01:23:47 - He's in here, but where's the door?

01:23:54 (dramatic music)

01:23:57 (splashing)

01:23:59 (splashing)

01:24:21 (dramatic music)

01:24:24 - Jack's been here all right.

01:24:48 (dramatic music)

01:24:51 - Any attempt to escape is useless, my friend.

01:24:55 Now, I would like the details of the Mandon secret.

01:25:00 - I still don't know.

01:25:02 - Perhaps I can help you to remember.

01:25:04 Notice the floor of the pit under you.

01:25:07 It is afloat.

01:25:12 Water forced in from the river is raising it up the shaft.

01:25:15 (dramatic music)

01:25:18 I advise you to answer my questions

01:25:24 before it reaches you.

01:25:25 - I tell you, I don't know the Mandon secret.

01:25:30 - You forget, Mr. Martin.

01:25:32 I heard your broadcast.

01:25:43 - There must be a secret door out of this room.

01:25:45 It's up to us to find it.

01:25:47 - You can stop the float any time

01:25:50 by telling me what I want to know.

01:25:52 - I, I can't tell you.

01:25:55 - Remember, I heard your broadcast.

01:25:57 - I don't know.

01:26:00 - Then be a fool if you like, and die with the secret.

01:26:04 - I can't tell you.

01:26:07 I can't because I don't know.

01:26:12 I can't tell you.

01:26:13 I don't know.

01:26:14 (dramatic music)

01:26:17 (dramatic music)

01:26:20 (dramatic music)

01:26:23 (dramatic music)

01:26:25 (dramatic music)

01:26:28 (dramatic music)

01:26:31 (dramatic music)

01:26:34 (dramatic music)

01:26:37 (dramatic music)

01:26:39 (thunder rumbling)

01:27:07 (dramatic music)

01:27:10 (dramatic music)

01:27:12 (dramatic music)

01:27:15 (dramatic music)

01:27:44 - I'm sure this is the street Jack turned into.

01:27:46 He must be in one of these huts.

01:27:47 - Yes, but which one?

01:27:48 - We shouldn't have let him use himself as bait,

01:27:50 even to uncover the headquarters of the Black Samurai.

01:27:52 - Right, they're the most dangerous spy ring in the Orient.

01:27:54 And Foreman Von Teufel would stop at nothing

01:27:56 to get the secret of the manned en route to India.

01:27:58 (dramatic music)

01:28:03 (whistling)

01:28:13 (dramatic music)

01:28:16 - Jack's been here all right.

01:28:33 - I would like to detail the demand on secret.

01:28:39 - I still don't know.

01:28:40 - Perhaps I can help you to remember.

01:28:43 Notice the floor of the pit under you.

01:28:45 It is a float.

01:28:49 Water forced in from the river is raising it up the shaft.

01:28:52 - Wing, I found a way out.

01:28:55 - I advise you to answer my questions

01:29:00 before it reaches you.

01:29:02 - I tell you, I don't know the manned en secret.

01:29:04 - Then be a fool if you like, and die with the secret.

01:29:12 - I can't tell you.

01:29:13 I can't because I don't know.

01:29:15 Here.

01:29:20 - Stand by.

01:29:21 - Jack, there's a pull cord over there.

01:29:25 Try it, let me open this thing.

01:29:27 Boy, I never thought I'd get out of there in one piece.

01:29:35 - And what good did it do you?

01:29:36 - Well, at least I got a look

01:29:37 at the elusive Foreman Von Teufel.

01:29:39 - Was that the woman we just saw?

01:29:40 - Sure.

01:29:41 - Well, let's find her.

01:29:42 She's probably got 100 hideouts around here.

01:29:44 - Now let's get out.

01:29:45 - And no more of this sort.

01:29:46 It's not worth the risk.

01:29:47 - I don't know about that.

01:29:47 At least I took their attention away from Ma Ling.

01:29:50 He'll be alive tomorrow to give China the manned en secret.

01:29:52 (water splashing)

01:29:55 (dramatic music)

01:30:11 - Did he give you the secret when men down the road?

01:30:20 - No, his friends arrived and saved him.

01:30:23 - So, the infallible Foreman Von Teufel has failed.

01:30:26 - I learned, however, that Ma Ling

01:30:27 has not given the secret to China.

01:30:30 - And it's still possible for him to die without telling it.

01:30:32 - Yes, it could happen at the conference tomorrow.

01:30:36 - Do you think anyone can reach him

01:30:37 with soldiers and constant guard?

01:30:40 - I can.

01:30:41 I shall be present with the other foreign correspondents.

01:30:43 - Oh, yes.

01:30:45 I'd forgotten for the moment.

01:30:46 You are the expert on Asiatic affairs

01:30:49 for syndicated press, aren't you?

01:30:51 Of course, if you kill him, he'll be caught and hanged.

01:30:54 - I hardly think so, Kaguyama.

01:30:56 Very efficient, when the point is first properly treated.

01:31:16 - So you see, even if we don't get the secret,

01:31:20 we can keep China from learning it.

01:31:22 - That the members of the press may more readily

01:31:34 understand this historic event,

01:31:37 it is best that I summarize.

01:31:38 The governor of Mandan possesses certain information

01:31:43 of vital importance to China.

01:31:45 He has submitted the terms under which

01:31:48 he will give us this information.

01:31:51 You ladies and gentlemen of the press

01:31:53 have been invited here with the distinct understanding

01:31:56 that you will publish nothing which transpires here

01:32:00 without official permission.

01:32:02 - Our sympathies are with China.

01:32:04 We shall do nothing to jeopardize her safety.

01:32:06 - I thank you.

01:32:07 Nevertheless, I shall read and personally censor

01:32:11 everything you write.

01:32:13 His Excellency, the governor of Mandan province.

01:32:15 - Let us weigh formality, please.

01:32:35 You have read my humble suggestions.

01:32:38 - I have.

01:32:39 - And you understand my people's wish

01:32:41 that the road be closed after the war.

01:32:44 - I do, and you have China's promise

01:32:47 the road will be closed.

01:32:48 - That is good.

01:32:50 I can trust China, but there are two ends to every road.

01:32:55 Only England can guarantee to close

01:32:58 the end that lies in India.

01:33:00 - England will agree.

01:33:01 I have approached the British minister

01:33:03 through Captain Thompson.

01:33:05 He tells me there's a foreign office member now in Hong Kong

01:33:08 who will secure the British signature to the pact.

01:33:10 - That will be satisfactory.

01:33:12 - In that case.

01:33:13 And now will your excellency trust us with a secret?

01:33:29 - Yes, but first I must go to Hong Kong

01:33:34 for the British signature.

01:33:36 - But your excellency, a trip will mean delay.

01:33:39 - Haste has never been a virtue.

01:33:41 - Very well, I shall place the plane

01:33:44 at the disposal of your excellency.

01:33:47 - I should like Captain Martin to fly the ship.

01:33:51 - But your excellency, I have already accepted

01:33:53 Captain Martin's resignation from the Chinese army.

01:33:57 - You see, your excellency,

01:33:58 I'm on my way home to the States.

01:34:00 My country too needs flyers now.

01:34:02 - You will be serving your country far better,

01:34:05 I believe, by helping me.

01:34:07 Hong Kong's on your way home, Jack.

01:34:09 - Well, I guess you got me there, Tommy.

01:34:12 - Then that is settled.

01:34:14 Captain Wing will go as my representative.

01:34:17 - I've got to follow through on this story.

01:34:28 I'll charter a plane and see you in Hong Kong.

01:34:30 - Bye.

01:34:31 (upbeat music)

01:34:35 (upbeat music)

01:34:38 - Any further word from the four-line by the trifle?

01:34:47 - Well, the lessee came in back there, Mr. Hardigan.

01:34:49 - Hmm, I can understand that.

01:34:51 I was advised she landed an hour ago.

01:34:53 - Hmm.

01:34:54 Anything more from the four-line?

01:35:02 - Nothing since you radioed this morning.

01:35:04 - Have you carried out those instructions?

01:35:06 - To the letter.

01:35:07 Let me check her message to make sure.

01:35:09 Jack Martin and important passengers en route Hong Kong.

01:35:15 Have reservation Crown Hotel.

01:35:17 Reserve room across hall for an invalid on wheel stretcher

01:35:20 and have ambulance standing by.

01:35:22 (suspenseful music)

01:35:25 (knocking)

01:35:42 - Have you had any definite word from Jack

01:35:47 about the conference?

01:35:48 - He is still at the commissioner's office.

01:35:49 He's on the phone now.

01:35:52 - You see the conference with Ma Ling

01:35:53 is set for nine tonight.

01:35:54 - Yes, Sir Cedric feels we shouldn't lose any time.

01:35:57 Of course they've arranged a guard for Ma Ling.

01:36:01 Two of their best men.

01:36:02 Right.

01:36:04 Thank you, commissioner.

01:36:06 Sir Cedric, see you at nine tonight.

01:36:07 - Captain Martin says we must be ready to leave by 8.30.

01:36:11 - I shall tell his excellency.

01:36:14 - I think I'd better freshen up before dinner.

01:36:16 See you later.

01:36:17 (suspenseful music)

01:36:20 - Crown, 456.

01:36:41 (phone ringing)

01:36:44 - My name's Outfitting.

01:36:51 - HKH?

01:36:51 Fraulein von Teufel speaking.

01:36:54 - Oh yes, Fraulein.

01:36:56 - Everything progressing as planned.

01:36:57 Ma Ling's conference scheduled for nine tonight.

01:37:01 Relay this information to submarine.

01:37:04 - I'll tend to it at once.

01:37:10 - Well, that's fine, thanks.

01:37:12 That was the desk.

01:37:13 The cars are ready and two guards are on their way up.

01:37:15 - Don't knock.

01:37:20 Keep your mouth shut.

01:37:21 In here.

01:37:23 - Time, we've gotta work fast.

01:37:32 - Hello, desk?

01:37:35 Are you sure those guards have the right room number?

01:37:38 All right, thanks.

01:37:39 - Certainly taking their time getting here.

01:37:41 (knocking)

01:37:43 - We're police, sent to escort Governor Ma Ling.

01:37:47 - Good, we're all ready to go.

01:37:49 - Anything can happen in a crowd.

01:37:50 We have orders to escort only one man, the governor.

01:37:53 - There are two cars down in front,

01:37:54 one for you people, the other for us.

01:37:56 - I'll phone the commissioner and tell him we're on our way.

01:37:57 - All right, we'll wait for you downstairs.

01:38:00 - Desk, give me the deputy commissioner's office, please.

01:38:08 - Well, the line is busy.

01:38:10 I'll call them later, thank you.

01:38:11 We're ready to go, Your Excellency.

01:38:25 (dramatic music)

01:38:27 - I contacted the submarine

01:38:45 that's standing by for its passenger.

01:38:47 - Now, the passenger will be ready in a few minutes.

01:38:50 (dramatic music)

01:38:52 - I'm going back and see what's keeping those guards.

01:38:54 It couldn't have taken them this long

01:38:55 to phone the commissioner.

01:38:56 (dramatic music)

01:38:59 - Be back in a minute, folks.

01:39:02 (dramatic music)

01:39:19 (dramatic music)

01:39:22 - They're gone.

01:39:32 - Well, we couldn't have passed them.

01:39:34 Phone the commissioner's office.

01:39:40 Hello, desk?

01:39:43 Do you smell chloroform?

01:39:47 - I certainly do.

01:39:50 (snaps fingers)

01:39:51 - That stretcher we saw going out when we came in,

01:39:53 do you suppose...

01:39:53 Do what you can for a little wing.

01:39:59 Hello?

01:40:03 Hello?

01:40:04 Hello, desk?

01:40:05 Captain Martin speaking.

01:40:06 Two men with a hospital stretcher

01:40:07 just went down the back way.

01:40:08 Stop them, even if you have to shoot.

01:40:11 What?

01:40:12 In an ambulance?

01:40:13 - Yes, commissioner.

01:40:17 Marling's disappeared.

01:40:18 - Hello, this is Martin.

01:40:19 Two men dressed as interns got away with him.

01:40:21 They drove away from the rear of the hotel in an ambulance.

01:40:24 - Right.

01:40:25 Police headquarters, quickly.

01:40:27 - In heaven's name, what is it?

01:40:28 What's happened?

01:40:29 - Marling's been abducted and...

01:40:31 Get every available man on the street.

01:40:32 Stop all ambulances and hold them for investigation.

01:40:35 A Chinese official is being abducted in one.

01:40:37 (dramatic music)

01:40:40 (dramatic music)

01:40:43 - You say you never saw either one of these men before?

01:41:04 - Not that I recall.

01:41:05 - Well, did you notice anything

01:41:06 out of the ordinary about them?

01:41:07 - Nothing special.

01:41:09 I remember one thing, though.

01:41:10 There was a stretcher

01:41:11 and a couple of hospital coats in this room.

01:41:13 - Did they look like a ship steward's coat?

01:41:16 - Well, it's possible.

01:41:17 Why?

01:41:17 - Just a hunch.

01:41:18 This rope they used on you

01:41:19 is sheeting off a small sailboat.

01:41:21 - Does that help any?

01:41:22 - Well, it narrows the search down to the waterfront.

01:41:24 (phone ringing)

01:41:27 - Hello.

01:41:28 Martin speaking.

01:41:29 Where did you find it?

01:41:32 Thanks.

01:41:34 The police found the ambulance.

01:41:35 Tommy, stand by for any incoming calls.

01:41:37 (dramatic music)

01:41:40 - Find something?

01:41:42 - Yeah, but it may not mean anything.

01:41:44 When you lose a button,

01:41:47 replace it with this and think of Hartigan's.

01:41:49 - Do you know any store by that name?

01:41:55 - It's probably on the waterfront.

01:41:56 - It's a sailor's outfitting store on Dock 12.

01:41:59 - Well, phone Tommy Thompson at the Crown Hotel

01:42:01 and tell him where we're going.

01:42:02 And have police standing by in case we need them.

01:42:04 - Right.

01:42:06 (phone ringing)

01:42:08 - Thompson speaking.

01:42:11 Yes?

01:42:12 Where?

01:42:14 I see, thank you.

01:42:17 Jack's got a clue, but a slim one.

01:42:20 - What kind of a clue?

01:42:21 - Seaman's Outfitting Store called Hartigan's.

01:42:24 - I've got to write a lead on this story.

01:42:26 - In here and batting it down,

01:42:34 I'll let you know when the way is clear.

01:42:36 Well, he's in there ready for shipment and...

01:42:44 Yes?

01:42:49 - Wait here, Winn.

01:42:53 You may have to go for help.

01:42:54 - Yes, I understand.

01:42:58 Fraulein says Martin's on his way down here.

01:43:02 - How do you locate us?

01:43:03 - The police with him?

01:43:04 - No, he's alone, but he'd recognize you.

01:43:07 Get in there.

01:43:08 - Something for you, sir?

01:43:16 - Yes, I'd like to look at some steward coats.

01:43:19 - I'm sorry, I just sold the last two this afternoon.

01:43:22 - Do you mind telling me who you sold them to?

01:43:24 - No, they were strangers to me.

01:43:26 Oh, a couple of big huskies,

01:43:27 about 30 years old, I should think.

01:43:30 Why?

01:43:31 - Nevermind, thanks.

01:43:33 (dramatic music)

01:43:36 - Get into the back room and tell the others

01:43:42 to get ready to load the box on the target.

01:43:44 - 'Kay.

01:43:45 - Any luck?

01:43:48 - I'm not sure.

01:43:49 He talked straight enough,

01:43:49 but someone was spying on me through a crack in the door.

01:43:52 - We can't pass up any chance, no matter how slim it is.

01:43:54 - You're right.

01:43:55 You scout around the rear, I'll phone the police.

01:44:03 - Hello, hello, Tommy.

01:44:05 Send the police.

01:44:06 - Go on, Jack.

01:44:08 - Send the police where?

01:44:09 - Down the center of the 410 Water Street and no stalling.

01:44:14 - Jack, is there some trouble?

01:44:16 - No, Tommy, nothing's wrong.

01:44:18 Send the police to 410 Water Street.

01:44:20 Okay, Hardigan, I suppose now I go back

01:44:24 to your place on the docks as a prisoner.

01:44:26 - You're a smart guesser.

01:44:27 - What's happened?

01:44:32 - Jack's been caught.

01:44:34 Hello?

01:44:34 Get the police.

01:44:37 Send them to Hardigan's.

01:44:38 It's somewhere on the docks.

01:44:39 And hurry.

01:44:40 It may mean life or death.

01:44:41 - Is Marling--

01:44:49 - Yeah, Marling's in there on his way to the Japanese sub.

01:44:52 Get in there.

01:45:01 Oh, you know him, eh?

01:45:04 Well, it won't do you any good.

01:45:05 Get that box and open it.

01:45:08 You boys get outside

01:45:19 and get the other one to snooping around.

01:45:21 Now get inside.

01:45:26 You're going in that box.

01:45:30 Now it's up to you whether you go alive or not.

01:45:33 - Don't let them put him on the target

01:45:54 and lose him as soon as you can.

01:45:56 (dramatic music)

01:45:59 (dramatic music)

01:46:02 - May as well lose her right here.

01:46:28 Throw it over.

01:46:29 It won't float long.

01:46:30 (dramatic music)

01:46:35 (explosion booms)

01:47:59 (dramatic music)

01:48:01 (dramatic music)

01:48:04 (dramatic music)

01:48:30 (dramatic music)

01:48:33 - It's, it's palpably unspeakable

01:48:48 to have had the secret of a hidden route

01:48:51 from China to India right in our hands.

01:48:53 - There's no doubt, Sir Cedric.

01:48:55 The Black Samurai abducted Marlene

01:48:57 to prevent him from telling us that secret.

01:48:59 - The Black Samurai?

01:49:01 That's obvious.

01:49:02 It's equally obvious that their German leader,

01:49:05 this, this froiline von Teufel,

01:49:09 will find a way to force him to tell it to the Japs.

01:49:11 (dramatic music)

01:49:14 - Is Marlene--

01:49:18 - Yeah, Marlene's in there on her way to the Japanese sub.

01:49:21 Get in there.

01:49:22 - Of course, it's not your fault, Hardy.

01:49:28 - Nor mine.

01:49:29 But unless your police find the old boy and fetch him back,

01:49:34 I'll have to contact London and--

01:49:36 (phone ringing)

01:49:39 - Yes?

01:49:40 The police.

01:49:41 Oh, right.

01:49:44 Quite right.

01:49:46 Keep me advised.

01:49:47 - An amazing chap, that Captain Martin.

01:49:51 - What is, what's happened?

01:49:52 - Seems he found where they were holding Marlene

01:49:54 and got himself caught doing it.

01:49:56 - How'd he get word to the police?

01:49:57 - Managed to trick his captors

01:49:59 and phone his Australian friend, Thompson.

01:50:00 Police are on their way now.

01:50:02 - Dump him in there, put him on the tug

01:50:10 and lose him as soon as you can.

01:50:11 (door slams)

01:50:20 (dramatic music)

01:50:23 - May as well lose it right here.

01:50:37 Throw it over, it'll sink soon enough.

01:50:49 All right, let's shove off.

01:50:51 (dramatic music)

01:50:58 (water splashing)

01:51:01 (dramatic music)

01:51:03 (water splashing)

01:51:06 (dramatic music)

01:51:09 (water splashing)

01:51:12 (dramatic music)

01:51:15 (water splashing)

01:51:17 (dramatic music)

01:51:20 (water splashing)

01:51:23 (dramatic music)

01:51:26 (gun firing)

01:51:48 (gun firing)

01:51:51 - Help me with this box, Jack's inside.

01:51:58 - Police, they wreckage.

01:52:18 - Take it easy, old man, you're a bit worse for wear.

01:52:20 - I'll be all right, as soon as I get my breath back.

01:52:23 - Ma Ling's in here, chloroformed.

01:52:27 - Get him out, then don't leave him unguarded

01:52:29 for one second while he's in Hong Kong.

01:52:30 Tommy, Wing, you come with me.

01:52:32 (gun firing)

01:52:47 (gun firing)

01:52:49 - You've done more than save Ma Ling, Jack.

01:52:57 - It looks as if these papers will put

01:52:58 the black samurai out of business, in Hong Kong at any rate.

01:53:01 - And if this chap will talk,

01:53:02 maybe we'll put Fraulein von Teufel

01:53:03 out of business as well.

01:53:05 - One thing's certain, no one will ever be able

01:53:16 to make this man betray Fraulein von Teufel.

01:53:18 - We owe you more than we can say, Captain Martin,

01:53:24 for your rescue of Ma Ling.

01:53:26 - Thank you, Sir Cedric.

01:53:27 Ma Ling's safety is my personal responsibility.

01:53:31 Semi-officially, of course.

01:53:32 - I must say you're certainly doing a splendid job of it.

01:53:34 Moreover, the evidence you uncovered resulted

01:53:36 in the rounding up of the Hong Kong branch

01:53:38 of the black samurai.

01:53:39 - Including their leader, Fraulein von Teufel?

01:53:42 - Unfortunately, no.

01:53:43 She and four of her agents escaped.

01:53:45 However, the police haven't given up the chase.

01:53:47 - Well, here's hoping they catch them.

01:53:49 Ma Ling's life is in constant danger

01:53:51 as long as Fraulein von Teufel's at large.

01:53:53 - Good morning.

01:54:04 - I have a radio message for you.

01:54:15 Fraulein von Teufel from Kageyama.

01:54:18 - Fraulein von Teufel?

01:54:19 I don't think I understand.

01:54:21 Who are you?

01:54:22 - I am Samson, black samurai.

01:54:25 - Proceed.

01:54:29 What is the message?

01:54:31 - Kageyama says Ma Ling must die.

01:54:34 It is dangerous to wait.

01:54:35 - Tell Kageyama I still make the decisions

01:54:37 for the black samurai.

01:54:39 As long as we have a chance to get the secret from Ma Ling,

01:54:42 he must live.

01:54:44 - But he might tell our enemies first.

01:54:47 - He won't live that long.

01:54:48 I have been invited to the conference.

01:54:51 I'll see to that.

01:54:52 If I ring for service during the day,

01:54:57 be sure you answer it yourself.

01:54:59 (dramatic music)

01:55:02 (door opens)

01:55:05 (door closes)

01:55:08 (dramatic music)

01:55:18 (dramatic music)

01:55:21 (door creaks)

01:55:23 (dramatic music)

01:55:26 (door closes)

01:55:33 (dramatic music)

01:55:36 (dramatic music)

01:55:39 (dramatic music)

01:55:42 (dramatic music)

01:55:44 (dramatic music)

01:55:47 (dramatic music)

01:55:50 (dramatic music)

01:55:53 - Oh, it's you, Janet.

01:56:19 - Come in. - Good morning, Judy.

01:56:20 I'll order some more tea.

01:56:22 - You'd better not.

01:56:23 If we're going to the conference,

01:56:23 you'd better get dressed.

01:56:24 It's almost time.

01:56:26 - All right, I won't be a minute.

01:56:27 (dramatic music)

01:56:32 - I have made an English translation of the Pax,

01:56:36 Sir Cedric.

01:56:37 Let my secretary have it, please.

01:56:39 - This will suffice for my purposes.

01:56:43 This says, "Your Excellency knows a secret route

01:56:48 "from China to India."

01:56:50 - That is correct.

01:56:52 It lies through the province of which I am governor.

01:56:55 - And you are willing to grant China the use of that route?

01:56:58 - If China and Great Britain promise to close it again

01:57:03 after the war.

01:57:05 - Now, wouldn't such a road bring valuable trade

01:57:07 to your state after the war?

01:57:10 - Nations with wealth or who want it are the ones at war.

01:57:15 My country prefer their poverty and peace.

01:57:20 - I see China's already signed the pact.

01:57:26 And since I am empowered to sign for Great Britain...

01:57:28 And now I believe we are ready to learn the secret.

01:57:45 - The pact requires one other signature.

01:57:48 - Another signature?

01:57:49 Whose?

01:57:50 - That of the United States.

01:57:53 - The United States has no interest in the road.

01:57:55 - I think I can explain, Sir Cedric.

01:57:56 His Excellency feels that a disinterested party

01:57:59 might prevent a later misinterpretation of the pact.

01:58:02 - A conference has already been arranged at Honolulu.

01:58:04 We are leaving by clipper today.

01:58:06 - If His Excellency has reached a decision,

01:58:09 there is little else we can accomplish here.

01:58:11 - I'll have to hurry to make a reservation on the clipper.

01:58:14 I'll see you at the hotel.

01:58:15 - Thank you.

01:58:16 - Any further word on those missing black samurai agents?

01:58:25 - Only that we know positively there are four.

01:58:27 One Jap and three Germans.

01:58:44 - Room service.

01:58:45 Send up a tea service for one, as quickly as possible.

01:58:52 (dramatic music)

01:58:55 (dramatic music)

01:58:59 (drawer clattering)

01:59:02 (dramatic music)

01:59:04 (dramatic music)

01:59:18 (dramatic music)

01:59:21 (dramatic music)

01:59:44 (dramatic music)

01:59:46 - One Jap and three Germans.

02:00:02 (plane engine roaring)

02:00:09 (plane engine roaring)

02:00:12 - I think Your Excellency will be safer in here

02:00:19 than in the lounge,

02:00:19 but I suggest you keep this door locked.

02:00:21 - Thank you.

02:00:22 (plane engine roaring)

02:00:30 - Everything all right, Jack?

02:00:38 - You know, this is the first time

02:00:39 I've ever really out of danger.

02:00:41 - That's a wonderful feeling.

02:00:44 - We are ready for a line of 124.

02:00:58 - Good.

02:00:59 Take over the ship tonight at quarter of 10.

02:01:01 - That will only give us 15 minutes

02:01:02 before we land it at the rendezvous.

02:01:04 - That's plenty of time.

02:01:06 (dramatic music)

02:01:08 - The steward is delighted that I am taking care of us.

02:01:16 - Did you see Fraulein von Teutel?

02:01:18 - Yes, we are to take over by quarter to 10,

02:01:21 land at 10 for the rendezvous with our submarine.

02:01:23 - So good.

02:01:24 What now?

02:01:25 How about this ship and crew?

02:01:27 - This type clipper makes our task easier.

02:01:30 Let me show you.

02:01:31 (dramatic music)

02:01:33 - I'm allowing 10 minutes to take over.

02:01:47 - That should be ample time.

02:01:49 - Everybody is certain of his assignment?

02:01:51 - Very well.

02:01:52 - It's now 9.35 p.m.

02:01:55 By 9.45, we must be in control.

02:01:59 (dramatic music)

02:02:02 (dramatic music)

02:02:04 - No one move, please.

02:02:32 (knocking)

02:02:32 - Come in.

02:02:33 - Come in, Zee.

02:02:34 - Drop that pistol, Fraubard.

02:02:39 And you two, lady, you at the other end.

02:02:41 You two, get over there with your friends.

02:02:48 - Get going.

02:02:51 - The authorities spotted you in Hong Kong,

02:02:55 but I persuaded them to let you take the clipper

02:02:57 on the chance that you might give yourselves away

02:02:59 by trying to pull something.

02:03:01 Thanks for walking into the trap.

02:03:03 Now we ought to be able to talk, don't you think?

02:03:06 Sit down.

02:03:07 (dramatic music)

02:03:13 (dramatic music)

02:03:16 - I'm getting the clipper's report clearly, sir.

02:03:34 It is on course.

02:03:35 But the code signal has not come over.

02:03:37 - 9.50.

02:03:40 - You should have received confirmation

02:03:42 of the capture by now.

02:03:43 - I think we have spotted the Kripos running, I'd say.

02:03:47 - Good, man the guns.

02:03:49 If Fraulein von Teufel has failed,

02:03:51 we ought to shoot the clipper down.

02:03:52 - But sir, Fraulein von Teufel and Marlene

02:03:54 are very important.

02:03:55 - Nevertheless, they will have to take their chances.

02:03:57 Those are Tokyo's orders.

02:03:58 - Yes, sir.

02:03:59 - So like Mr. and Mrs. Bower, you still insist

02:04:08 you don't know Fraulein von Teufel's identity.

02:04:11 - So far, I only have blank paper.

02:04:13 - Maybe we've saved the best till the last.

02:04:18 Do you know who Fraulein von Teufel is?

02:04:21 - I know nothing.

02:04:23 - Somehow I believed the others were telling the truth

02:04:25 when they said they didn't know anything.

02:04:27 - But you're lying.

02:04:28 Now you people are spies, pirates.

02:04:30 Piracy gets a death sentence in the United States.

02:04:33 Now who's Fraulein von Teufel?

02:04:37 Who is she?

02:04:38 - He's dead.

02:04:46 Poisoned off his throat.

02:04:48 - Well, it begins to look like Fraulein von Teufel

02:04:51 isn't any farther away than one of the women

02:04:53 in this compartment.

02:04:54 - Nobody leaves this room

02:05:03 until we find out who killed that Jap.

02:05:05 - We'll have to search everybody for a weapon

02:05:06 that could have fired that dart.

02:05:08 Sorry, Trudy, but that pencil could have been rigged

02:05:16 to fire a dart.

02:05:18 - Certainly, Tommy.

02:05:19 - Well, I am sorry, but it was the quickest way

02:05:32 of clearing you of suspicion.

02:05:33 - Nobody really suspected you, Trudy.

02:05:35 - Thanks, Jack.

02:05:36 You had me worried for a moment.

02:05:38 - Now, please don't break this one.

02:05:39 I need it for my work.

02:05:41 (explosion)

02:05:43 (train whistle)

02:05:51 - Look!

02:05:58 (gunshot)

02:06:01 (train whistle)

02:06:04 (train rumbling)

02:06:07 - We haven't got a chance.
