00:18:38as if afraid of attack
00:18:41why I
00:18:44I never thought of it before but for the last few weeks uncle stanley has been rather
00:18:50Or how shall I describe it rather cautious
00:18:54Can be more definite well
00:18:57Now that I think of it, he never wished to be left alone
00:19:00Was to have assisted the honorable uncle in important matter
00:19:05You know nature of his business
00:19:08No
00:19:09Someone made very certain. So stanley did not talk to me
00:19:14Perhaps the search among uncle's papers
00:19:18Disclose important communication for me. Mr. Chan
00:19:23Last night after philip left me someone broke into uncle stan's library
00:19:26There were papers all over the floor this morning
00:19:29Mercy, please

00:19:55Young man philip is here. No, he went to the docks to meet mr. Andrews

00:27:16For you
00:27:18and for your son

00:30:01The laundry on the boat fairly ruined the master shirt, sir
00:30:04Do you happen to know where I could purchase a new supply? There's a little shop about two blocks down the street
00:30:10Sulu gal. Thank you, sir
00:30:21Is this mr. Andrews apartment, yes, miss

00:30:34Diana thought we'd find you here philip
00:30:37I found this in uncle stanley's desk colonel watkins thought we ought to bring it over. It's addressed to mr. Andrews
00:30:43Oh, uh, mr. Andrews
00:30:46Miss woodland
00:30:48May I extend my deepest sympathy miss woodland. Thank you so much. And this is colonel watkins commissioner of the police department
00:30:54Pleasure to meet you. Mr. Andrews. Thank you, sir
00:30:57You have something for me
00:30:58Yes, I found this in my uncle's desk. We thought it might contain information that would throw some light on sir. Stanley's death
00:31:05Will you pardon me, please?
00:31:18I
00:31:25Know there's nothing in this to help us can
00:31:30Pardon me, please
00:31:35Hello, yes have him come up
00:31:41I hope you won't think me rude, but i've a most important visitor whom I must see immediately. Yes, of course certainly
00:31:47Well, we'll see you soon I hope well, no, no, don't go please
00:31:50There's a pleasant breeze out on the balcony and i'll join you shortly for a gin recce. Hmm. Splendid idea. Hey philip. Why? Yes
00:32:03Mr. Andrew, yes come in
00:32:11Dust came from visitors this way, sir
00:32:17Thank you
00:32:26This matter is of such enormous importance, I don't trust anyone
00:32:30Most wise
00:32:32Could you sit down? Thank you
00:32:35Young nash tells me that you and sir woodland had no opportunity for a private talk most unfortunate
00:32:41You know, of course why he sent for you
00:32:44Sir woodland's letter very vague
00:32:47Await explanation, please. Well, as you know, sir, stanley was a secret agent of the british government
00:32:53I'm in the same service representing the united states
00:32:56Cooperating with the the opium committee of the league of nations and certain officials in the chinese government
00:33:01We were planning a campaign to round up a group of smugglers who've been using shanghai as a clearinghouse for their goods
00:33:07It's a grave situation. Mr. Chan
00:33:09The terrific toll of life taken nearly by this insidious traffic is beyond belief
00:33:15Beauty of poppy conceals sting of death more ways than one i'm afraid
00:33:21Sir, stanley was murdered because he knew too much
00:33:24He left report
00:33:26Apparently not. Oh, uh, i have an important phone call. I must make for mr. Andrew
00:33:30You won't mind you go right ahead my boy
00:33:32I'll see that she's here when you come back
00:33:39So
00:34:10So
00:34:28So without a doubt it was sir stanley's idea that you knowing the language and the customs of the country would succeed where we might
00:34:33fail
00:34:35Confidence most flattering not misplaced. Thank you so much
00:34:39Thank you
00:34:43Uh
00:34:45Commissioner police assisting
00:34:48No, we thought it best to limit the knowledge of our work to just us three
00:34:51kidnap plot
00:34:53An attempt to kill humble self
00:34:56Indicate that many others share knowledge. They try to kill you too. Spider does not spin web for single fly
00:35:04Uh
00:35:05Sir, stanley's secretary now work for you. I think so. Sir. Stanley apparently had great confidence in him
00:35:11He might identify men we seek
00:35:13No
00:35:15Sir, stanley confided in no one
00:35:17I don't know where to begin long journey always start with one short step
00:35:30Are you all right? Yes
00:35:33No, don't risk it
00:35:40No, no, don't be a fool quite safe
00:35:45Did you see anyone in here I know are colonel watkins and miss woodland safe
00:35:49What's all the excitement where someone shot him? Mr. Shan from this room?
00:35:54Charlie are you hurt? No, I rang up in your son's please talk later
00:36:00Uh
00:36:02Did you just come in
00:36:04Yes, sir
00:36:05See anyone in the hall? No, sir
00:36:08And no one in here either
00:36:10except mr. Nash
00:36:11He was just coming from the bedroom. I I think oh, he stepped in to make the phone call for you phone call
00:36:18What phone call?

01:04:15Appearance is sometimes deceiving like a wolf in lamb's clothing
01:04:22Oh
01:04:25So that's it shipping it in wine cases shipping place not far off
01:04:31River runs nearby
01:04:34Which means they have a way of getting to the water
01:04:37very clever deduction
01:04:47Trap door possibly leads to river
01:04:52Oh

01:07:02forest one of gang
01:07:04He made attempt on my life in your apartment
01:07:07Escape through window and appear to have just entered by door. Well, I can believe that now
01:07:14Well, what about nash's fingerprints on the gun
01:07:16Marlowe think young man know too much because of position with sir. Stanley
01:07:21So use a fake fingerprint on gun to create impression. He tried to kill me
01:07:30Rubber stamp pad
01:07:32In fireplace at kidnap house with the sample fingerprints on paper
01:07:38very clever device
01:07:40Then marloff was also responsible for the concealed gun that killed sir. Stanley at the banquet
01:07:45And it was one of his gang who tried to get you at your hotel
01:07:49very probable
01:07:51Mr. Chan, you deserve the thanks of the united states government for the help that you've been on this case
01:07:56Believe government. Oh you debt also
