00:00:30["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:00:33I pass.
00:00:35I'll see you.
00:00:37See the five and raise ten.
00:00:42Here's the fifteen and raise twenty.
00:00:48Fine, I'm out.
00:00:52I wasn't bluffing.
00:00:54Really?
00:00:55Three kings.
00:00:57Had me beat.
00:01:01I don't like that light on my face.
00:01:04So we can't see your face when you're bluffing us out of a game, boss?
00:01:07That's right, Joe.
00:01:09And I don't want to be too easy a target with Kirky Minelli around.
00:01:13Why isn't Gunner Steve here?
00:01:15Must have picked up a babe.
00:01:17Could be.
00:01:30["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:01:50Mr. O'Connor, please.
00:01:53And twenty.
00:01:56I'll see you.
00:01:58Let it ring.
00:02:00Now look, take a look at these.
00:02:03Royal flush.
00:02:06You guys have no luck.
00:02:14Yeah, hello?
00:02:15O'Connor!
00:02:16Right, Steve, what is it?
00:02:18Minelli's boys are on the way.
00:02:19What did you say?
00:02:30Greetings from Kirky Minelli.
00:02:32Minelli!
00:02:34["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:02:59You take over now, John.
00:03:01This is Kirky Minelli.
00:03:02From the USA to Italy one way.
00:03:05Be careful as long as you're in the three-mile zone, of course.
00:03:08We don't want him back.
00:03:10Relax, Captain Alleman.
00:03:11You don't think I'll swim to get back to a country that doesn't want me
00:03:14and now is deporting me to prove its point.
00:03:18With O'Connor and his gang you could play tough, but not with us.
00:03:22What proof do you have, eh?
00:03:23Nothing.
00:03:24Petty little charges and that's all.
00:03:27They were enough.
00:03:28I think in Italy you won't be lonely.
00:03:31Your old friends are all there.
00:03:34I can buy those.
00:03:36You know that.
00:03:37In Italy, a man like me needs more than the old homeland.
00:03:42I'll be somewhere else.
00:03:43You better go.
00:03:48Bon voyage.
00:04:31Bon voyage.
00:04:32Bon voyage.
00:05:01Bon voyage.
00:05:02Bon voyage.
00:05:31Good morning, Mr. Parker.
00:05:57I have your mail.
00:05:58From you, sir?
00:05:59I didn't expect anything else, of course.
00:06:01Good day, sir.
00:06:09Parker.
00:06:11My lord.
00:06:13I just can't see this.
00:06:15Perhaps you need glasses now, my lord.
00:06:19Read it aloud, Parker, if you will.
00:06:29What?
00:06:40Nowadays, people with a lot of money are more in danger than they ever were.
00:06:44They need protection.
00:06:45The pe...
00:06:50The patrons of the rich, for the sum of only 10,000 pounds, are prepared to guarantee it.
00:06:57If you accept, just place an ad in the personal column of Wednesday's Times.
00:07:03Great idea.
00:07:04Then we must hurry.
00:07:05Tomorrow is Wednesday.
00:07:06Read through to the end.
00:07:08Oh, yes.
00:07:09That's right.
00:07:10There's more to it here.
00:07:11If you refuse to pay or make a call to the police, you will be a...
00:07:16You will be a...
00:07:25Dead man!
00:07:31It seems like insurance with a strange company that charges remarkably high premiums for protection.
00:07:38It is extortion, Parker.
00:07:41Ah, but I'm not frightened at all.
00:07:44Certainly not, my lord.
00:07:45In America, among the savages, such a thing could happen.
00:07:49But among us in London...
00:07:52What do you recommend I do?
00:07:54For me, there is no question at all.
00:07:58Straight away to Scotland Yard, sir.
00:08:16Beep.
00:08:19Beep.
00:08:21Beep.
00:08:22Beep.
00:08:24Beep.
00:08:42Well, I see it's time for your medicine, Mr. Tanner.
00:08:45Medicine?
00:08:46Nonsense!
00:08:48I must check these obligations right now.
00:08:51You've been working too much.
00:08:52The doctor told you...
00:08:53Dr. Jenkins is all wrong.
00:08:55Won't ever let me alone.
00:08:57And you...
00:08:59Who is that out there?
00:09:00Inspector Weston.
00:09:02Ah, the master investigator himself.
00:09:04Hello.
00:09:05Hello, Inspector Weston.
00:09:06Please.
00:09:11What brings you here, Mr. Scotland Yard?
00:09:14You believe I came here just to amuse myself?
00:09:16Oh, please, I'd never believe that you came just to see me, Inspector.
00:09:19It's all right, I had Inspector Weston come over.
00:09:22You brought him in because you lost something, I suppose.
00:09:25A document of great importance was lost.
00:09:28I believe that it was stolen, Inspector.
00:09:31Perhaps the new butler?
00:09:33The fourth in this month.
00:09:35The last one just couldn't take it any longer.
00:09:38Being suspected all the time.
00:09:40I suppose this morning you wrote letters, Mr. Tanner.
00:09:43What are you saying?
00:09:44You mean my letters mean something?
00:09:46Tell me the purpose of those letters.
00:09:48Well, I was checking up on rich new oil fields coming in, in...
00:09:53In Tampico.
00:09:54If you'll be good enough to look in the encyclopedia under Tampico.
00:09:58But certainly, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:10:13I thank you.
00:10:19That's it.
00:10:20Is this what you lost, Mr. Tanner?
00:10:23Why, yes.
00:10:24You're a genius, Weston.
00:10:26You're a magician.
00:10:28I really believe you do well on the stage.
00:10:31Well, in any event, it was really not for anything that I came this last time.
00:10:36What? You mean I'm not going to see you ever?
00:10:39I work in a new division now.
00:10:41Tomorrow I begin work in blackmail.
00:10:45If you refuse to pay or make a call to the police, you'll be a dead man.
00:10:50Yes, that's the way it was.
00:10:52They left the corpse in front of our door.
00:10:55I can't remember ever seeing such a vicious crime, Sir John.
00:10:58No wonder they're using American methods.
00:11:00Oh, please.
00:11:01Any plans, gentlemen?
00:11:03I say we should watch all persons connected with blackmailing or even suspected of the crime, Sir.
00:11:09I fear we would be wasting our time, Sir, because these men have never operated in England.
00:11:14Inspector Weston, you're pretty new in the blackmailing division.
00:11:17You need a bit more experience on the job.
00:11:20We must hear him out.
00:11:22What plan do you offer?
00:11:23I believe an American colleague from the FBI who is familiar with this type of crime should be consulted.
00:11:29Such a man is in London at this moment.
00:11:31Come on, Weston, an outsider...
00:11:32Inspector, haven't you ever heard of international cooperation?
00:11:36That really makes sense, Weston.
00:11:38Could it be arranged if the American come and see me?
00:11:41I hoped you'd say that, Sir.
00:11:43He's waiting outside.
00:11:46Captain Alleman of the FBI.
00:11:48Sir John, Chief Inspector Tetley.
00:11:50Pleasure to meet you, Captain Alleman.
00:11:52Some gangsters from the States are visiting London.
00:11:54And it's a pity, Sir John.
00:11:56Criminals like these present a threat to every nation in the entire world.
00:12:00I know the methods of these rotten hoods.
00:12:03And a human life means that.
00:12:05Here is the demand the murdered man received.
00:12:10Letters cut and pasted.
00:12:12Patrons of the rich.
00:12:14It has the mark of O'Connor, a gangster boss from Chicago.
00:12:17You believe he's in London now?
00:12:19No, Sir. O'Connor is dead.
00:12:21He was shot down by a gang of gunmen from an opposition gang.
00:12:26Police found his body blasted beyond recognition.
00:12:29If O'Connor's gang, not one man escaped?
00:12:31His lieutenant, Gunner Steve.
00:12:35GUNNER STEVE
00:12:52Good morning to you, Sir.
00:12:55A pack of cigarettes?
00:12:56Good morning.
00:12:57Yes, a pack of players.
00:13:00A pleasure.
00:13:03Lady Gubbers! Lady Gubbers!
00:13:05Stop it, Jackie.
00:13:09That bird has no sense at all.
00:13:12The bird is as smart as its owner, Steve.
00:13:15Who was the best student of O'Connor.
00:13:18All but my friends from Scotland Yard are not behind the times.
00:13:23Know what this is?
00:13:25Search warrant, obviously.
00:13:26Any objections?
00:13:28Not from me. My store is at your disposal.
00:13:31I suppose you know what I'm after.
00:13:33What element? It doesn't change.
00:13:36The same two things, probably a scissor.
00:13:39You think I used.
00:13:41Simply to cut letters out of a newspaper, of course.
00:13:44I see I'll find nothing.
00:13:46One fine day, I know, I'll find them both.
00:14:02Mr. Tanner?
00:14:04Forget about that typing. Stop it, please.
00:14:07But you told me that...
00:14:08Just stop.
00:14:09I must talk with you about a problem of my own.
00:14:13One that affects you, too.
00:14:15I would like to talk with you about your own future, if I may, my dear.
00:14:22Is marriage in your thoughts at any time?
00:14:25Well, I guess it's normal.
00:14:27Well, so, Miss Ranger,
00:14:31for years you've coddled and cared for an old man like me.
00:14:35I could be dead tomorrow.
00:14:37But, Mr. Jenkins, I...
00:14:39I don't care.
00:14:41I don't care.
00:14:43I don't care.
00:14:45I don't care.
00:14:47I don't care.
00:14:49I don't care.
00:14:50But, Mr. Jenkins, the doctor...
00:14:52Dr. Jenkins is wrong.
00:14:54If God wills, I'm dead tomorrow.
00:14:57I'm quite sure of it.
00:15:00Marry me, Lillian, as quickly as possible.
00:15:04You're serious?
00:15:07Get married?
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09I know how old I am.
00:15:12But I want to protect your future.
00:15:15What others may think,
00:15:18I don't give a hoot.
00:15:20Such a wedding would look like...
00:15:23would look like...
00:15:25I'm after your wealth.
00:15:27That couldn't be the case.
00:15:30Since I saw to it that you've already been made my heiress,
00:15:35I'll be sure that the testament will stand up in any eventuality.
00:15:39I don't understand.
00:15:41I thought you had a nephew.
00:15:42I do, Miss Ranger.
00:15:44And that's exactly the point I must make.
00:15:47While you've been taking care of me so well,
00:15:50he's been chasing all over the world looking for orchids.
00:15:55Even when he was needed,
00:15:57after my heart attack four years ago,
00:16:00the boy never even looked me up.
00:16:02I don't think he ever knew.
00:16:04You should be writing him right now.
00:16:06No.
00:16:07He's just a good-for-nothing.
00:16:09He never cared at all about me.
00:16:13What is this all about?
00:16:15I don't want my mail served to me on a plate, you fool.
00:16:19With the bare hand, a butler must not.
00:16:22You won't be around very long.
00:16:24In the space of one month, there have been four of you here.
00:16:27It's all right.
00:16:28Thank you, Parker.
00:16:29Of course, Miss Ranger, I'm not offended.
00:16:31It's one of the first rules of good butling
00:16:34to take each tiny hint and get out.
00:16:37As you wish.
00:16:39See if it's important.
00:16:41Yes.
00:17:09May I sit here?
00:17:36Please.
00:17:40Ah.
00:17:43Isn't this Miss Ranger?
00:17:46Right you are.
00:17:48You're alert as usual, Inspector.
00:17:50I never dreamed of a rendezvous, but by coincidence...
00:17:54But it's no coincidence.
00:17:55You mean you intentionally came to see me?
00:17:57Yes.
00:17:58Lillian.
00:17:59I might have gone to Scotland Yard, but I was afraid
00:18:02Mr. Tanner might get hurt.
00:18:04A blackmail letter came to him.
00:18:09I hope you brought the message.
00:18:10Yes.
00:18:28That man there has been following me.
00:18:30We don't know each other.
00:18:31Put the note under the napkin.
00:18:34The newspaper reports of the Arlington murder warned me.
00:18:37I'd kiss you right now, Lillian, I really would.
00:18:40But we have to play the game.
00:18:48Please tell Mr. Tanner to let nobody enter his house.
00:18:51I'll make sure Chief Inspector Tetley sends over two men
00:18:54to act as personal bodyguards for him.
00:19:03Doesn't that itch?
00:19:04That false beard, Mr. Parker?
00:19:15Better take your medicine, Mr. Tanner.
00:19:19Don't worry, Parker is strict...
00:19:20I think you'd better check up on him.
00:19:29Parker, you understand that no one needs to enter.
00:19:31You can be entirely reliant on me, miss.
00:19:33Any unauthorized person will find that Parker bars the way.
00:19:43We come from Scotland Yard.
00:19:45Thank God.
00:19:46Not so fast.
00:19:47I want identification.
00:19:49That's very wise.
00:19:53Quite good.
00:19:57Please go inside.
00:20:05These are the men Inspector Weston sent.
00:20:07And I'm glad to see you gentlemen, indeed.
00:20:10You're well armed, of course.
00:20:12Yes, very well indeed, Mr. Tanner.
00:20:24Stop!
00:20:25You're under arrest!
00:20:29Gangsters!
00:20:36They've made good their threats for the second time now.
00:20:39From now on, their victims will be frightened to death and they will simply pay off.
00:20:44Without reporting it.
00:20:45No, that can't happen here.
00:20:46Not in England.
00:20:48Don't brush off the difficulties.
00:20:50You've no idea how frightened people can actually be.
00:20:53They'll pay.
00:20:54Even in London they're scared.
00:20:59Weston?
00:21:00No, sorry, Inspector Tetley isn't here.
00:21:03I will.
00:21:04What's that?
00:21:06In the morning mail.
00:21:08A thousand pounds?
00:21:10Is it the blackmailers?
00:21:12Were the words in the letter cut out of newspaper printing, Mr. Shelby?
00:21:17No.
00:21:18Find out from him if a lettered form was used.
00:21:24Yes, it is a sort of form letter, yes.
00:21:27Yes, and my name is written in on it in block letters.
00:21:32Thank you for reporting the matter, Mr. Shelby.
00:21:34Mr. Shelby, I'd like your telephone number, please.
00:21:38Yes.
00:21:39I'll be calling you in an hour.
00:21:41Please do nothing meanwhile.
00:21:44A good day.
00:21:45Too bad, Weston, but you have both of the worst gangs in America to handle.
00:21:49What's the meaning of this new form letter?
00:21:51Trademark of Kirky Minnelli.
00:21:53Kirky Minnelli?
00:21:54The gang boss from Chicago.
00:21:56He's the man who had O'Connor's gang shot down.
00:21:59Now he's working in good old England, eh?
00:22:07Oh, isn't London utterly delightful?
00:22:09Chicago couldn't touch it.
00:22:11Kirky, sweetie, I saw the most marvelous hat you could imagine.
00:22:15Darling, buy yourself a dozen, but please, shut up.
00:22:19You really should have manners now, you know.
00:22:21Remember, you're an English gentleman.
00:22:23I'm a what?
00:22:25Kirky, darling, why don't you retire from business, sweetheart?
00:22:30We have plenty of moolah put away, don't we?
00:22:34I mean that we've moved into a higher class.
00:22:37There's never plenty, and London is a gold mine.
00:22:40Kirky, dear, I'd be the high-class wife of a respectable millionaire,
00:22:45but instead I just worry about you.
00:22:47You don't have to.
00:22:49Buy whatever you want to.
00:22:50Buy out half of London, but please, please,
00:22:54let me alone for once.
00:22:55Why don't you listen to me?
00:22:57You pay attention to your little wife.
00:23:00How's this?
00:23:01We get a house in Anscona, where only the finer classes go,
00:23:05join the club there, and have our own little chickadee.
00:23:08Your own cackling is enough to stand.
00:23:11Kirky, sweet, with me, you better not make those smart perks stand.
00:23:14Another word and I...
00:23:16Oh, please.
00:23:17Minnelli, you shouldn't threaten your own dear wife.
00:23:21I heard you were in London,
00:23:22so I just dropped over to sort of pay my respects.
00:23:26How do you do? I'm Mrs. Minnelli.
00:23:28Cora, this is Captain Alleman, an old friend of mine.
00:23:31We have private business to talk about.
00:23:34Cora.
00:23:38I have no interest in talk of business.
00:23:41Amusing you call me your friend, Kirky Minnelli,
00:23:44but I have only one.
00:23:46This gun.
00:23:49If anyone transfers to London those rotten Chicago methods,
00:23:52I'll take a hand in it and I tell you...
00:23:54Uh, that thing.
00:23:56That friend of yours, it makes me nervous, very nervous.
00:24:00Thanks.
00:24:02I can relax a little now.
00:24:04In England, there are strong laws to care for law-abiding citizens,
00:24:07as you well know.
00:24:10Hmm.
00:24:11Besides, we should become friends, Alleman.
00:24:15I know someone right now who needs a private detective
00:24:18to whom he would pay...
00:24:21$10,000, I believe.
00:24:23It's really a very easy job.
00:24:25Just sit around and not bother anyone.
00:24:28Keep your $10,000.
00:24:30I haven't told you why I actually came here.
00:24:34Mr. Shelby has $20,000 to pay
00:24:37for the arrest of the blackmailers
00:24:39who are threatening him, Mr. Minnelli.
00:24:42You would be wise to let Mr. Shelby off the hook.
00:24:45Pack your bag and get out of this town before it's too late.
00:24:51We'll see soon enough, eh,
00:24:53who among us will be first to get out of the act.
00:25:46Too slow, buddy.
00:25:57Inspector Weston.
00:25:58Good morning.
00:25:59I guess the police are still busy on this case.
00:26:02I heard this was a meeting of those affected by the estate of Mr. Tanner, eh?
00:26:05Does that include you, Inspector?
00:26:08Police are by nature curious, and it's a chance to see you again, Lillian.
00:26:11Everybody's here.
00:26:13Except Mr. Tanner's nephew, who seems to be a little late.
00:26:16Oh, the orchid hunter from Brazil.
00:26:18Yes, that's him.
00:26:23Miss Lillian Ranger?
00:26:24Yes. Won't you please come in?
00:26:27I guess you're Mr. Tanner.
00:26:30I have looked forward to seeing you,
00:26:32all that my uncle wrote to me,
00:26:34and never mentioned just how lovely you really are.
00:26:38To be honest,
00:26:40I never imagined you to look just as you do.
00:26:43I'm afraid I don't look like uncle.
00:26:45Here, these flowers are for you.
00:26:47Tiger orchids.
00:26:49Epiphytus lassoculus.
00:26:51They're fresh from the tropics.
00:26:52Oh, you shouldn't be...
00:26:54But please accept it.
00:26:56You took care of my uncle for years, and I...
00:26:59I hate myself now, but it's just too late.
00:27:02You'll give me a coat, please.
00:27:03Thanks.
00:27:04Inspector Weston of Scotland Yard.
00:27:06It's a pleasure indeed, Inspector.
00:27:08It's men like you who will arrest the murderers of my uncle
00:27:11and see that they receive the punishment that they deserve.
00:27:14We don't have them yet, but I assure you that...
00:27:16Of course, you're bound to get them.
00:27:18After all, you represent law and order.
00:27:21And my faith is in the law.
00:27:23Come inside, please.
00:27:27May I introduce first,
00:27:29Mr. Edwin Tanner, whom we've been waiting for.
00:27:31Inspector Weston, whom we did not expect.
00:27:33Your uncle's barristers.
00:27:35Mr. Johnson, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Johnson.
00:27:39A pleasure, gentlemen.
00:27:41So that we do not waste your time,
00:27:43the testament should now be opened.
00:27:45Just as you wish.
00:27:47We come directly from your uncle's bank,
00:27:49the Doris Bank on Sutton Street.
00:27:51Ah, next to the tobacco shop.
00:27:53I don't smoke. I wouldn't know how.
00:27:56I brought all of the estate's documents
00:27:59from Mr. Tanner's safe deposit box.
00:28:02And the last will?
00:28:03In here.
00:28:06And now please give me your undivided attention.
00:28:17My last will.
00:28:19I, Elias Zacharias Tanner,
00:28:2186 years old, approaching the end of life,
00:28:25bequeath my entire fortune
00:28:27not to my nephew, Edwin Tanner,
00:28:29who does not deserve it,
00:28:31but hereby bequeath my full estate
00:28:34to Miss Lillian Ranger,
00:28:36who has cared for me well for all these years.
00:28:39I don't believe it.
00:28:41Please, give me that, Mr. Tanner.
00:28:53I apologize.
00:28:56Of course you're excited, Mr. Tanner.
00:28:58But we have to respect your uncle's will.
00:29:00But if you think the testament is illegal,
00:29:02you're free to contest it.
00:29:04No, no, I wouldn't think of contesting my uncle's will.
00:29:07You see, Miss Ranger couldn't be more deserving.
00:29:10Mr. Tanner, I've no idea what to say.
00:29:14Then say nothing.
00:29:18Let me congratulate you.
00:29:21I will leave for Paris and directly from there to South America.
00:29:26Goodbye, Miss Ranger.
00:29:29Gentlemen.
00:29:35I understand, Mr. Shelby.
00:29:37This is the block where you will meet the gangster's messenger.
00:29:41Yes, at 3 p.m. precisely,
00:29:43at the 57th tie of the track you see,
00:29:46I'll meet a seaman walking toward me.
00:29:48Thank you, Mr. Shelby.
00:29:50Scotland Yard wants you to meet the man as planned by the gang.
00:29:53But the envelope naturally will contain scraps of paper,
00:29:57not money.
00:29:59Gentlemen, I've changed my mind.
00:30:01You mean that...
00:30:02No paper but money.
00:30:03You'll pay, is that it?
00:30:05You wonder?
00:30:06Here.
00:30:07This is my new butler.
00:30:08I know the fellow.
00:30:09Speak up, Parker.
00:30:10Please, I will, sir.
00:30:12Before, Mr. Shelby, I was employed by Lord Arlington and by Mr. Tanner.
00:30:16So I have seen at first hand the gangster's work
00:30:19and also that of the police.
00:30:22And I report that
00:30:24not even I have been able to save them.
00:30:27First Arlington, then Tanner.
00:30:29I have no desire to become number three, gentlemen.
00:30:31I pay and live.
00:30:32Very wise, sir.
00:30:33Trust in me for your safety, sir.
00:30:36Goodbye now.
00:30:46So, anything new happening?
00:30:48Yes, you'll be surprised.
00:30:49Who is that fellow?
00:30:50Mr. Shelby.
00:30:51What?
00:30:53And you two let him go?
00:30:54You should lock that guy in the tower so he can't get away.
00:30:58We shouldn't allow gangsters to collect.
00:31:01We have to stop them.
00:31:02I don't believe they will get paid.
00:31:04We've set a trap for them.
00:31:05A plan that I organized involving the placing of detectives in disguise in the entire area.
00:31:09Let me show you.
00:31:11Right here we have a laborer and...
00:31:20Thirty seconds more to go.
00:31:22On your toes, men.
00:31:53Action.
00:32:17Hey, they got both.
00:32:21A shrewd bunch.
00:32:23The machine gun wasn't even pointed this way.
00:32:26These men weren't shot with that gun.
00:32:32The press is really picking on Scotland Yard.
00:32:35My colleague Gallopman was against this trap from the beginning.
00:32:37He argued with us.
00:32:39It was Inspector Tetley's plan to start with and he's quite upset about it.
00:32:43You came here to tell me that?
00:32:45Don't be foolish, Lillian.
00:32:47You know of course I have a personal interest in you, miss.
00:32:51And that made you come?
00:32:52Well, I'm on duty.
00:32:53You are the sole heir to the entire Tanner fortune, you see.
00:32:57Am I under suspicion too?
00:33:00Please, Lillian, be serious.
00:33:02First they tried to blackmail and then they murdered Mr. Tanner.
00:33:05They didn't get any money from him.
00:33:08Now, the fact of the matter is, the entire fortune...
00:33:11Well, you have it now.
00:33:13Waiting for someone?
00:33:14Just the lawyer from Dorrie's bank.
00:33:17An inheritance is a nuisance in some ways, you know.
00:33:26Oh, it's you!
00:33:28An erathusa almost as colorful as the sun.
00:33:31A precious jewel for a lovely woman.
00:33:34Glad you stopped by.
00:33:35Surprised to see you in London, though.
00:33:37Excuse me, please.
00:33:39Are you just surprised or are you glad?
00:33:42I was to leave Paris for South America, but I had business to finish.
00:33:46What?
00:33:47You're a businessman?
00:33:49Yes, I know I have the reputation of being just a worthless good-for-nothing.
00:33:54But I do have activities.
00:33:56You see, I...
00:33:57Ah, Inspector Weston.
00:34:01You're on the job, eh, Inspector?
00:34:04Hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:34:06I see Scotland Yard hasn't been able to stop those gangs of killers yet.
00:34:11You will soon, I'm sure.
00:34:13Optimist.
00:34:14Don't worry, Mr. Turner.
00:34:16Scotland Yard will certainly find and arrest those...
00:34:25What is it?
00:34:28So, it's come.
00:34:30It's from Kirky Minnelli.
00:34:33You take it rather lightly.
00:34:35Miss Minnelli is a head of the bank officials.
00:34:37My money isn't cleared yet.
00:34:39I haven't a penny.
00:34:40We're not taking any chances anyway.
00:34:42Miss Ranger, pack an overnight case right away and come with me to Scotland Yard.
00:34:47I'm under arrest?
00:34:48No, protective custody.
00:34:49And this time, Inspector Tetley won't interfere with my plans.
00:34:52Custody?
00:34:53I must confess I envy you, Inspector.
00:34:56Nothing personal.
00:34:58I have to do this only for the safety of Miss Ranger.
00:35:01I would approach it another way.
00:35:03I think that this...
00:35:05This Minnelli could be convinced to let her alone.
00:35:08I suppose you would coax him with an orchid of special beauty, eh?
00:35:12I see you have no idea what orchid hunting in the savage jungles is really like.
00:35:18I can handle Mr. Minnelli very well.
00:35:29Would you like a ride, Mrs. Minnelli?
00:35:31You know me.
00:35:32I've seen you in front of the Carlton and I've been so overwhelmed that I...
00:35:36Oh, please.
00:35:37I'm going to the West End anyway and...
00:35:39Oh, I was going to Bond Street also.
00:35:41At your service, milady. Please get in.
00:35:44Oh, you're real chivalrous.
00:36:02Please accept a small gift.
00:36:05An orchid found only in the Amazon region.
00:36:09A bloom that a queen should wear in need.
00:36:12Hmm, charming.
00:36:14I'm married, you know.
00:36:16I know that.
00:36:18I'm well aware that you're Kirky Minnelli's wife, you see.
00:36:21Will you give him my kindest regard?
00:36:24My husband?
00:36:25I must ask him to do something for me.
00:36:29He's threatening a young woman, a friend of mine.
00:36:32Nonsense. My man is a gentleman.
00:36:34What you tell me is impossible.
00:36:36I always believe that. I'm very disappointed.
00:36:38You tell him so.
00:36:40But you tell him if Miss Ranger is hurt,
00:36:44something will then happen to someone else.
00:36:47You, for example, Mrs. Minnelli.
00:36:50Me?
00:36:52In South America, poisonous flowers exist, you know.
00:36:55A little scratch would be enough to cause a horrible...
00:36:59That flower is harmless.
00:37:02As of now, nothing has happened.
00:37:05But then...
00:37:07Touch of the poison flower,
00:37:10the head swells up just like a balloon.
00:37:12Huge!
00:37:14Yes, I've heard about this.
00:37:16I've seen women with heads like elephants.
00:37:18Please, you've said enough.
00:37:20Other poisons are more harmless.
00:37:22All they do is shrink heads so they're tiny.
00:37:25Tourists buy the things you know.
00:37:28Please, they're terrible.
00:37:30Oh, you're right, but your head would make a pretty souvenir, though.
00:37:34It was a pleasure chatting, Mrs. Minnelli.
00:37:37Oh, pleasure, pleasure.
00:37:39Where shall I drop you?
00:37:41Now, Miss Ranger, how does it feel to be a...
00:37:44a guest of ours?
00:37:46I feel more like a prisoner than a guest.
00:37:48You must know, Inspector, I'm not happy being here.
00:37:51It wasn't my idea to bring you here in the place, you know.
00:37:54I'm just obeying orders.
00:37:57My admirer is waiting to see you.
00:37:58How interesting.
00:38:00Who could this admirer of mine be?
00:38:02Enter.
00:38:06Good evening.
00:38:07Good evening.
00:38:08Good evening.
00:38:09And so, Miss Ranger, how do you feel with police protection?
00:38:13It'd be pretty monotonous being protected all the time.
00:38:16Today I come with empty hands, Miss Ranger.
00:38:19I had an orchid with me, but I've already given it away...
00:38:23to another girl.
00:38:25A flirtation, I guess.
00:38:27And may I know who the lucky lady is?
00:38:28Certainly.
00:38:30Cora Minnelli.
00:38:31Cora Minnelli?
00:38:33Precisely what I said.
00:38:35Weston.
00:38:36Listen, Inspector.
00:38:38I bear good news about that pretty miss.
00:38:41The baby's okay.
00:38:43Watch your language now, Kirky.
00:38:45Clam up.
00:38:46You say?
00:38:47I said the person you are protecting won't be...
00:38:50be injured.
00:38:52I guarantee it.
00:38:54It was just a little joke.
00:39:00Phew.
00:39:02You look a little uncertain.
00:39:03Yes, we talked about you.
00:39:04Me?
00:39:05Yes.
00:39:06Who was it?
00:39:07He didn't say, but...
00:39:08his speech wasn't English, but accented.
00:39:11I would say that was Kirky Minnelli.
00:39:14Minnelli? And he said...
00:39:16He apologized and said it was all a joke...
00:39:18and guaranteed me that you are safe.
00:39:24Tell me how you accomplished it.
00:39:26Oh, by sorcery.
00:39:28A different method than the police use...
00:39:30but successful, it seems.
00:39:41Yes?
00:39:42Mrs. Moore. Mr. Parker to see you.
00:39:45Send him in.
00:39:48Are you Mrs. Moore herself?
00:39:50Why, yes, I'm Mrs. Moore.
00:39:52I'm glad that you came.
00:39:53Oh, please sit down over there.
00:39:55Say that you're glad to see me.
00:39:57Well, aren't you from Scotland Yard?
00:39:59Oh, no.
00:40:00I have nothing to do with amateurs like those.
00:40:03I am an excellent butler seeking a job.
00:40:06I don't need a butler.
00:40:09I need a very large policeman.
00:40:11Of course.
00:40:12You're the recipient of a blackmail note.
00:40:15How did you guess?
00:40:16Experience, Mrs. Moore, experience.
00:40:19I'm not just an everyday butler.
00:40:21I stood by Lord Arlington, by Mr. Tanner, by Mr. Shelby.
00:40:25And I was butling while they all were blackmailed.
00:40:28How come you change jobs so often?
00:40:30Well, circumstances forced me to.
00:40:34My situations all ended with murder.
00:40:37All of them are dead.
00:40:39Now I'm...
00:40:40I am called the death butler.
00:40:44You understand?
00:40:48Oh, but with you, Mrs. Moore, that will change...
00:40:50I am just the man you want.
00:40:52I know how to beat them.
00:40:54Tell me how.
00:40:55All three previous victims...
00:40:59stayed in their homes here in London, remember?
00:41:03You, my dear Mrs. Moore, will leave here for Scotland tonight.
00:41:08Good.
00:41:09I trust you, I will do as you tell me, Parker.
00:41:11I'm off to Scotland.
00:41:13You remain behind, feed my feathered friends and defend the house.
00:41:16You are my man.
00:41:17That's fine, madam.
00:41:20I will stand by here like the last Mohican.
00:41:44If Mrs. Moore makes it to Scotland, I'm sure the castles will be licked.
00:42:21Let's do it.
00:42:31Those rats, they had a mirror standing there.
00:42:34Mrs. Moore saw her own car in the mirror and thought she was going to collide with it.
00:42:42You've botched it up again.
00:42:44Now any of the victims will pay off promptly.
00:42:47You claim the gang bosses are known?
00:42:49I assure you, Gunner Steve and Kirky Minnelli are under surveillance.
00:42:52We even monitor their phone calls.
00:42:54In spite of this, Western and Elliman have not found out how the bosses contact the gang members.
00:43:00I say arrest them both and keep them locked up.
00:43:04While they're in jail, not a single murder will be done.
00:43:07That I guarantee, Sir John.
00:43:09Right idea, of course.
00:43:11But as long as I have no proof, I can't arrest anyone.
00:43:14Evidence is what I need, Captain Elliman.
00:43:16Proof's proof, Chief Inspector.
00:43:18Those two men have done everything illegal you can think of.
00:43:22But naturally, as long as they act like private business people...
00:43:42My weekly deposit there.
00:43:44My store does well. Took in £112, six shilling.
00:44:00Please.
00:44:02Lillian.
00:44:04What are you doing here?
00:44:06When will the police wake up?
00:44:08Anybody else would see that I took a bank secretary's job.
00:44:12You, the heiress of Mr. Tanner?
00:44:14Mr. Tanner was up to his ears and passed you notices.
00:44:18There isn't enough money even to pay off all the debts. I'm not rich at all, you see.
00:44:22You examined his bank records, then?
00:44:24Of course I did that.
00:44:26They wanted me to sign some legal papers that had to do with the estate.
00:44:30Something to do with the probate.
00:44:33I'm glad this job was available to me here at the bank.
00:44:36Quite interesting.
00:44:39You know that man?
00:44:41One of our quietest, nicest clients.
00:44:44He runs a little store near here.
00:44:46I'm against your working in this bank, you know.
00:44:49You want me to work for you, Inspector?
00:44:51I can see there's no use talking to you at all.
00:44:53Maybe I'll talk to Mr. Dorries. Announce me.
00:44:56Most of the people who receive threatening letters from Gunner Steve are clients from your bank, the Dorries Bank.
00:45:02And Steve is also.
00:45:04I must admit, Inspector, that it sounds strange indeed, but you understand bank secrets.
00:45:10And at this time, I no longer own the bank at all.
00:45:15It has recently been purchased.
00:45:18I know.
00:45:19I've wanted to go to Singapore to live.
00:45:21And when a Chicago trust made a good offer...
00:45:24A moment.
00:45:26A trust from Chicago?
00:45:28As I mentioned, an American trust had made me the offer.
00:45:32Not one man. It was a trust fund.
00:45:36A trust fund that's nameless, Mr. Dorries.
00:45:39But the check that they bought the bank with must have a signature of someone.
00:45:43Who signed that check?
00:45:45The name on the check was...
00:45:48O'Connor.
00:45:50O'Connor?
00:45:52That can't be.
00:45:53O'Connor was killed by a Chicago gunman.
00:46:27Thank you, Picasso.
00:46:48Butterfly calling Calibri.
00:46:50Butterfly calling Calibri.
00:46:52Butterfly calling Calibri.
00:46:54Urgent message.
00:46:56Colonel Drude has notified the police and has contacted the newspapers.
00:47:01Over.
00:47:04Big hero.
00:47:08He'll never do that again.
00:47:10I've hunted tigers in India.
00:47:12In Africa, I've shot wild buffalo.
00:47:14So, of course, these gangsters don't frighten me.
00:47:17And all the papers are publishing my challenge.
00:47:20So never fear, gentlemen.
00:47:21Yes, but please be careful, won't you, Colonel?
00:47:23Yes, this is not Africa or India.
00:47:26Oh, I've taken care of these things.
00:47:28That's what these fellows are for.
00:47:30Come, let me show you my precautions.
00:47:32I think you'll find I know just what I'm doing.
00:47:34There's no getting in here.
00:47:36Take a look at these windows.
00:47:38Steel mesh.
00:47:39Keep a sharp look out there.
00:47:44Now, over there, you can see my communication system.
00:47:47Excellent.
00:47:48I will also send some policemen to guard the ground.
00:47:52Ah, excuse me a moment.
00:47:54Come on.
00:48:01Good day.
00:48:05I'm sorry, but I'm ticklish.
00:48:07What do you want?
00:48:08I wish to...
00:48:10I wish to apply for the butler's job, sir.
00:48:12Oh, my servants have been dismissed.
00:48:14Oh, but you never know when you will need a very highly trained servant, sir.
00:48:17And if you would like references, sir, I have...
00:48:22Unless you're afraid to see them.
00:48:24Be afraid?
00:48:25All of my former employees have been killed off, sir.
00:48:27Perhaps you'd rather not do so.
00:48:29By God, you're really the right man.
00:48:32Now, these gangsters, with my experience, I know how to fool them.
00:48:36You are making me nervous.
00:48:37Colonel Drood is a very wealthy man.
00:48:40Therefore, he's a natural target for both those gangs of blackmailers.
00:48:44You're absolutely right, sir John.
00:48:46You see, these two extortion notes were written by different gangs.
00:48:49I'm positive.
00:48:50Now, their business conference will come.
00:48:52And it might mean that the gangs decide that they will soon try...
00:48:55So you mean they'll negotiate?
00:48:56Yes.
00:48:57Yes, I have no doubt they will be there.
00:48:59I would like to be there.
00:49:02I have demanded 10,000 pounds from Colonel Drood.
00:49:05Your mob asked only 8,000.
00:49:07So we are number one.
00:49:09That's where you're wrong, Manelli.
00:49:11It's the one who collects the money from Drood...
00:49:14And teaches Drood a lesson who was first.
00:49:17That will be me.
00:49:19Europe is a big place, Steve.
00:49:21How about leaving London for some other lovely place, my friend?
00:49:26And I'd be glad to pay you.
00:49:28I might go...
00:49:3060,000 pounds.
00:49:33No.
00:49:35There's no hope.
00:49:37Not since my parrot likes it here.
00:49:4075,000, my last offer.
00:49:46Gentlemen, will you please excuse me?
00:49:55Let's just do it my way.
00:49:57I'll give you 40,000 pounds and you go to Paris.
00:50:01No, no deal.
00:50:03But there's one way we can both remain in London together without fighting.
00:50:0630% you can have.
00:50:10What if we make it 50-50?
00:50:12You can just forget that.
00:50:14I already have.
00:50:20Auf Wiedersehen, Manelli.
00:50:25Now we will show them.
00:51:25Emmanuel!
00:51:28Emmanuel!
00:51:52Come in.
00:51:54For Mrs. Manelli.
00:51:56You're welcome.
00:51:57Who sent them?
00:51:58Should I know?
00:51:59Let me see them.
00:52:00I guess they're from some admirer.
00:52:02The name I want to know.
00:52:03Well, there is a card. Look for yourself.
00:52:14What's going on now?
00:52:18What's this?
00:52:20No.
00:52:21Drop a bomb on this house this afternoon?
00:52:52Help him! Help him!
00:52:54As I already know, get out of my way.
00:52:57Come on, men.
00:52:58On the roof. Hurry up.
00:53:06Hurry up down there.
00:53:11I'm coming.
00:53:13I'm coming.
00:53:15What happened?
00:53:21That was a close one.
00:53:32That was a close one.
00:53:45Good show, what?
00:53:46I think I hit him.
00:53:51Good.
00:54:10You really got him, sir.
00:54:12So it seems.
00:54:13My respects, sir. An excellent job, sir.
00:54:15You see that explosion?
00:54:17It wasn't really the petrol.
00:54:18There must have been quite a bomb on board.
00:54:20You bet on it.
00:54:21All right.
00:54:23The first defeat for the gangsters.
00:54:25It's good news for Scotland Yard.
00:54:35Thank you, Picasso.
00:54:51Steve?
00:54:52Yeah?
00:55:01Any news from Minnelli?
00:55:03They made us a peace offer.
00:55:06As I mentioned, I'm prepared to end our war under these terms of peace.
00:55:12And to make a final deal.
00:55:14Excellent. London is big enough for both gangs.
00:55:18On the right is our territory, on the left is yours.
00:55:21No one steps on the other's toes, okay?
00:55:26Regent Street is the dividing line, right?
00:55:29Fine.
00:55:37A good deal, boss.
00:55:39Polinsky, get me a little bomb with a timing device.
00:55:43Polinsky, get me a little bomb with a timing device.
00:55:47I'm not through with him.
00:55:49Welcome, gentlemen.
00:55:51I've no idea what you gentlemen might want of me.
00:55:54You received an extortion letter, right?
00:55:56I made no call. How did you know that?
00:55:58An informant who got one of those letters informed me that you had been seen with one.
00:56:02You're smart, Inspector.
00:56:04Clever.
00:56:06But Scotland Yard can't help me.
00:56:08Oh, I think we can help.
00:56:11The gangsters met their first defeat at the hands of Colonel Drood.
00:56:13We're hot on their heels.
00:56:15I must tell you this.
00:56:17When I got that letter, I was going to go to Scotland at once.
00:56:21I wanted to escape.
00:56:23My mind has changed.
00:56:25You see, money you can always earn.
00:56:27But death is permanent.
00:56:29Mr. Dorries, now we are on the offensive.
00:56:31If you will just cooperate, please.
00:56:33I'm not a valiant man, sir.
00:56:35I'm not taking chances.
00:56:37I will pay.
00:56:41Excellent.
00:56:43You mean that?
00:56:45I have a plan.
00:56:47Mr. Dorries will really take that night train to Scotland as he planned.
00:56:51I certainly will not.
00:57:10Let's go.
00:57:40Let's go.
00:57:55You're not that guy, Dorries.
00:57:57No, babyface.
00:57:58The same as you.
00:57:59Chicago is my home.
00:58:02Welcome to London, Mr. Tanner.
00:58:04With greetings from Rio.
00:58:08Please tell me why you're here.
00:58:11Do you plan to open an account?
00:58:13I could have other reasons for coming by.
00:58:15What reasons?
00:58:16For example, to see you.
00:58:18Oh, I simply don't believe it.
00:58:20Not a playboy like you.
00:58:22You're right.
00:58:24But a man reaches a point.
00:58:26Every man has to and must.
00:58:28But a man reaches a point.
00:58:30Every man has to and...
00:58:32When he knows he's not a young fellow.
00:58:34And settling down is, well, uh...
00:58:39Tell me, how is your police inspector?
00:58:42The one who has no sense of humor.
00:58:44He's jealous.
00:58:46I believe he's allergic to orchids.
00:58:51Good day.
00:58:52Oh, my. An invasion?
00:58:54Pardon, Miss Ranger, but I must speak with you.
00:58:59I'm better off in South America, I guess.
00:59:01Perhaps in the Amazon jungles I can avoid Scotland Yard, huh?
00:59:05Gentlemen, Billion.
00:59:10Miss Ranger, I have a...
00:59:13I have orders from the Home Office for a complete audit of bank records.
00:59:17These men are chartered accountants. Please announce us to the director.
00:59:20As you wish, Inspector.
00:59:23I must protest emphatically.
00:59:25An invasion of privacy.
00:59:27We must do our duty, Mr. Dorries.
00:59:30You've been threatened by gangsters, remember?
00:59:33To protect you properly, we must check our records.
00:59:37You can't do this to me.
00:59:39I'll make protest to the Home Office.
00:59:42That is an easy thing to accomplish.
00:59:44The Undersecretary of State came with me.
00:59:47Lord Oliver Morley.
00:59:49Lord Oliver Morley.
00:59:51I had no idea, my lord.
00:59:55Understand our position, Mr. Dorries, and consider what I'm telling you.
00:59:59The Home Office has created a committee for the protection of the public interest,
01:00:04something unique in the history of England.
01:00:07As a banker, you must understand, for example,
01:00:10what it means if men from Scotland Yard now have permission to audit all bank accounts.
01:00:16But what about bank secrecy?
01:00:19Up until now, bank secrecy has favored the underworld, to be sure.
01:00:23But from now on...
01:00:24Your pardon, sir, but I have to leave.
01:00:27I remembered an important meeting with Inspector Weston.
01:00:30Yes, of course.
01:00:33Now then, Mr. Dorries.
01:00:40Well, Inspector, complete your work.
01:00:42Yes, thank you.
01:00:43You can go back to your desk and your orchid.
01:00:47You must realize you chased my admirer back to the Amazon.
01:00:50I'm sorry, but if he admires you, he'll rush back.
01:00:53Some men only drop by here on official business.
01:00:56Oh, but I hope your visit has been very profitable for you, sir.
01:01:01Of course.
01:01:02Among other things, we found that Chief Inspector Tetley had an account of 25,000 pounds,
01:01:09but Captain Alleman and I suspected a fox in the chicken house.
01:01:28Scotland Yard, official business.
01:01:30Yes, of course, sir.
01:01:39You are Mr. Tetley?
01:01:41Good day.
01:01:42You're not the police.
01:01:44What do you think you're doing?
01:01:46That's right, we're not police.
01:01:48Home Office Secret Service agents.
01:01:58You are Mr. Tetley?
01:02:00Good day.
01:02:01You're not the police.
01:02:03What do you think you're doing?
01:02:05That's right, we're not police.
01:02:08Our warrants open up the accounts to us, but not the individual safes, Lillian.
01:02:12The rented ones.
01:02:14I'm sure in one of those safes lies the key to the mystery.
01:02:19And if I can find it for you?
01:02:24You?
01:02:26Why should you do this for me?
01:02:29I'm not telling.
01:02:32Do you want to tell us who gave you your orders to kill Dorries?
01:02:37I'm not talking.
01:02:38Why, you...
01:02:39Watch it, Captain.
01:02:41In England, the third degree isn't allowed.
01:02:44I've been unarmed and I'm helpless.
01:02:46The best lawyers have been hired.
01:02:49You're wasting your time, bub.
01:02:55Surprise, my little rat, surprise.
01:02:58Where to?
01:02:59To a place you're going to like a lot less than you like it here.
01:03:16Here it is.
01:03:17We get out here.
01:03:19But I... I live here.
01:03:22Right, my friend.
01:03:23We just can't convict you.
01:03:25Therefore, you're a free man.
01:03:27I'm honored to bring you personally home again and everyone can see us.
01:03:32You can't do that to me.
01:03:33I tried to knife a man.
01:03:35You have to take me back.
01:03:37I'm sorry for you.
01:03:38Scotland Yard has the right to arrest you or throw you out.
01:03:40Now get out of here.
01:03:42Now, old friend, good luck.
01:03:58Good evening.
01:03:59Good evening, sir.
01:04:00Cigars? Cigarettes?
01:04:02Well, no, I don't smoke.
01:04:04Oh, no?
01:04:05Yes, I really don't know what to say now.
01:04:08Scotland Yard sent you, didn't they?
01:04:11Yes, I admit I've been sent to you.
01:04:13Of course it's true.
01:04:14Inspector Weston sent me here to see.
01:04:17My name is Parker and I am a...
01:04:20Hello, hello.
01:04:21Hello, hello.
01:04:23I am a...
01:04:24Hello, hello.
01:04:25Hello, hello.
01:04:28Parker.
01:04:29The death butler, if you will.
01:04:32You mean...
01:04:33I had the honor of working for Lord Arlington, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Shelby, Mrs. Moore.
01:04:39Ah, you're the butler that guarantees a quick and violent death.
01:04:43Oh, ho.
01:04:44I took part in the siege of Colonel Drood.
01:04:46Remember that, my dear friend.
01:04:48I am accustomed to excitement.
01:04:50I can't live without a certain amount of tension in my life.
01:04:53Interesting.
01:04:54What can I do for you?
01:04:55I ask Inspector Weston for the most dangerous persons in London.
01:04:59He should know where the most dangerous persons in London are to be easily found.
01:05:04Should be the man.
01:05:05Should be the man.
01:05:06But he told me you would know even better.
01:05:09A flatterer, that Inspector Weston.
01:05:13If Scotland Yard depends on me, how could I say no?
01:05:17Sir, a recommendation?
01:05:19An old friend of mine.
01:05:22As his butler, I assure you.
01:05:24You'll have all the excitement you want.
01:05:32Hi, boss.
01:05:33Has Babyface shown up yet?
01:05:36Himself, no.
01:05:37But we have news about him.
01:05:39What?
01:05:40Doris is alive.
01:05:41What?
01:05:42And Babyface went to Scotland Yard for help.
01:05:45Weston and Alleman brought him home personally.
01:05:54Better get going, Polinsky.
01:05:57Go see Babyface and cut his throat.
01:06:16Come on.
01:06:34Ah, the corpse is packing.
01:06:36Well, what do you mean?
01:06:38The boss doesn't like it when his men seem to get along with the police too well.
01:06:42But it's not true.
01:06:44Okay, it's a lie.
01:06:45You must believe me.
01:06:47Yes, you must.
01:06:48So?
01:06:50Must I?
01:06:53You need a shave, Babyface.
01:06:55I've been busy.
01:06:57Now you know.
01:06:59The boss likes you to look nice and neat.
01:07:01Always.
01:07:02Okay, I'll shave, Polinsky.
01:07:05Very good.
01:07:06You need it.
01:07:07I'll be glad to help you.
01:07:15Ah!
01:07:27Oh, boy, did I see a handbag.
01:07:30One side was Babycroc and the other side was a...
01:07:32Okay, okay, buy it and be quiet.
01:07:34Well, do you know what they want for it?
01:07:36English storekeepers are really gangsters.
01:07:38All right, you are.
01:07:39What is that, Kirky doll? A box of cigars?
01:07:42Oh, that's a little gift.
01:07:44Sort of a surprise.
01:08:03Taxi.
01:08:04Mr. Minnelli?
01:08:05Don't bother me now.
01:08:07Begin a job, sir.
01:08:08My staff is complete.
01:08:10As butler, if you will.
01:08:11Go on, will you?
01:08:12But I have a recommendation from a gentleman named Steve, your good friend.
01:08:24Taxi!
01:08:42TANNER ELIAS
01:09:04Tanner Elias.
01:09:06Safe 77.
01:09:11TANNER ELIAS
01:09:41TANNER ELIAS
01:10:11TANNER ELIAS
01:10:41TANNER ELIAS
01:11:11TANNER ELIAS
01:11:27You go ahead. I'm going back.
01:11:41TANNER ELIAS
01:12:11TANNER ELIAS
01:12:42TANNER ELIAS
01:12:54O'Connor!
01:13:11O'Connor!
01:13:41TANNER ELIAS
01:14:11TANNER ELIAS
01:14:36The end of the terror in London.
01:14:38Yes, the leaders are dead.
01:14:40The little vermin are bound to disappear.
01:14:44Mrs. Minnelli.
01:14:47They all come to this end.
01:14:49Gangsters like those.
01:14:51I expected it.
01:14:52I begged him so to quit.
01:14:56Who did it?
01:14:57Gunner Steve used this to finish him.
01:14:59But the bullets in his body, they came from O'Connor.
01:15:03O'Connor?
01:15:06He's dead and buried.
01:15:08Dead men don't sign checks, Mrs. Minnelli,
01:15:10or shoot with machine guns.
01:15:35TANNER ELIAS
01:16:06TANNER ELIAS
01:16:31Did you find him?
01:16:32There's no one in the whole house.
01:16:34Can you imagine how he got away?
01:16:35We surrounded the whole place.
01:16:37Over the roof.
01:16:38Impossible.
01:16:39We better check the cellar.
01:17:04TANNER ELIAS
01:17:35TANNER ELIAS
01:17:54Be accepted as my final wishes in the disposal of my estate.
01:17:59I bequeath all of my property, real and tangible,
01:18:04to my only relative, my nephew by blood.
01:18:28TANNER ELIAS
01:18:33Good evening, Miss Ranger.
01:18:37What are you doing here?
01:18:38I was going to ask you that.
01:18:39I'm working.
01:18:40And I'm a very sociable fellow.
01:18:43I can't leave a young and pretty girl all alone here,
01:18:47in a dark bank vault.
01:18:51I thought that you were in South America.
01:18:54By being in London a shock?
01:18:56I've never left England.
01:18:58It pleased me that Inspector Weston believed I visited England to see you.
01:19:02But I had lots of other interests in London, my dear.
01:19:06Interests worth half a million pounds.
01:19:08You just made use of me.
01:19:11That's how I felt at first.
01:19:13You see, at the time I forged that will making me sole heir, I didn't know you personally.
01:19:18Or I wouldn't have done what I finally did.
01:19:21What did you do?
01:19:22What do you think?
01:19:23You sent the blackmail messages.
01:19:28You had your uncle murdered.
01:19:31How could I help it? He put the police on my trail.
01:19:35My uncle had no debts at all, my dear. You see, it's a clear fortune.
01:19:39And the bank documents that showed the debts were my work.
01:19:43Can't be.
01:19:45The bank material was all correct.
01:19:47Signed by the director.
01:19:49Yes, the director is me.
01:19:50The Dory's bank is me.
01:19:51You?
01:19:52Yeah.
01:19:53Bought the bank while I was in Chicago.
01:19:55Marvelous place to keep my loot from America, you see.
01:19:58All this is nothing.
01:20:02And what made you tell me all about it?
01:20:04My dear Lillian.
01:20:06I might go to the police and tell what I know.
01:20:10Up to now, no one who knew too much lived to talk to the police.
01:20:17I'm sorry.
01:20:19I'm about to do something very foolish.
01:20:23A man like me can't afford ordinary feelings.
01:20:27I am in love with you.
01:20:30And you'll admit that you don't exactly dislike me.
01:20:35This must be it.
01:20:37What?
01:20:38Dory's bank.
01:20:39I think it's just on the other side of this wall.
01:20:42You still believe that all trails lead to the Dory's bank, huh?
01:20:48I don't know.
01:21:15Alleman!
01:21:16Come over here!
01:21:17A secret door!
01:21:28Forget all this nonsense.
01:21:30Come with me.
01:21:32I'm rich. A new life can begin.
01:21:34As the wife of Edwin Tanner, you'll live well.
01:21:37And the gangster O'Connor that everyone thinks is dead will really be so.
01:21:41It's better if you kill me too.
01:21:47Stop!
01:22:17Stop!
01:22:47I'm sorry.
01:22:57Sorry you have to leave so soon, Alleman.
01:22:59My job here is finished. Now I have a vacation coming.
01:23:02Where to? Italy or Spain?
01:23:04Neither. In Chicago.
01:23:08Scotland Yard will miss you and they will need another hero to step in behind you, sir.
01:23:11Oh, no, Parker. Don't tell me you plan to...
01:23:13I will do exactly what I have to do.
01:23:16I'm tired of butlering.
01:23:17I plan to join the police forces at once since I know exactly how to do the work.
01:23:22Don't you see?
