02:30How did he get here?

04:47♪♪
04:57Give me a hand here, will you, man?
04:58Right.
05:02Take it easy.
05:10How about Colter Dick? Is he all right?
05:12He will be as soon as we get him to a doctor.
05:14The spider nearly finished him.
05:17♪♪
05:30Bring them in my office, Carter.
05:32We'll interview them here.
05:37I've asked you all to be here so that we could compare notes.
05:40And perhaps get some new lead on this spider business.
05:45You'll do the interviewing, Dick.
05:47Ah, here they are now.
05:51Gentlemen, thank you for coming.
05:55I want you to meet Dick Tracy.
05:57How do you do?
05:58Joe Crane is my name.
05:59I'm mighty pleased to meet you.
06:00Gee, Dick Tracy.
06:02My name's Perry.
06:03Say, I've heard an awful lot about you.
06:05How do you do, Perry?
06:06This is Bill Morfitt, Dick.
06:07He works for the telephone company.
06:08Well, I'm glad to know you, Bill.
06:09How do you do?
06:10Mr. Tracy has a few questions he'd like to ask you.
06:13Gentlemen, these are all assistants of mine.
06:15You may speak freely in front of them.
06:17Please be seated.
06:29Mr. Crane, you are a conductor on the P&M Railroad, are you not?
06:32Yes, sir.
06:33I understand that some months ago you witnessed a strange meeting
06:36which took place on board a train.
06:38Would you mind telling us about it?
06:40Well, it was a late train pulling out of the P&M station for Los Angeles.
07:06Did any of you see him when you got on?
07:10Perhaps the rest of you know why you're here.
07:14Perhaps you're afraid of him.
07:16Well, I'm not.
07:17Nor do I consider him useful to me.
07:21We understand each other.
07:23We're organized.
07:26What good is he to us?
07:28Maybe he will have something to say about that when he comes.
07:30Suppose he does.
07:32He's not here.
07:34And what if he were?
07:36Are we sheep that we'd follow him blindly?
07:40The man isn't human.
07:43I don't think he's on the train.
07:59He's coming.
08:10He's coming.
08:21Well, gentlemen.
08:28You.
08:29What is your report?
08:33Fine.
08:34Yeah, everything fine.
08:37The colonel.
08:39Fine, chief, fine.
08:41Everything's okay.
08:43My affairs are in excellent shape.
08:46You wish to hear what I have to say?
08:49Then listen.
08:52I'm through with you.
08:54The rest might be yellow and lick your boots, but not me.
08:57Not me.
08:59I'm not afraid of you nor of anything you can do.
09:09Hey, I'll be here.
09:11He can't be human.
09:13He can't be human.
09:25No one could figure out how that fellow with the lame foot got on or left the train.
09:31The man with the lame foot is the man we want.
09:34He is undoubtedly the head of a powerful organization.
09:37A spider ring.
09:39Mr. Perry, tell us what you know.
09:43I deliver milk, Mr. Tracy.
09:46I had just started on my route early in the morning.
09:49Before sunrise.
09:51I noticed a man who acted crazy.
09:55He seemed scared of something.
09:58He was trying to get away.
10:07Oh, my God.
10:34Oh, God.
10:37Oh, God.
10:44No.
10:55I immediately phoned the police.
11:00But the man was dead.
11:03That spider mark had actually burned into his skin.
11:08The lame-footed man again.
11:11Some sort of a fiend who brands his victims with a spider mark before killing them.
11:17Ellery Brewster was killed that way.
11:33There was one victim they didn't quite kill.
11:37Steve, remember Death Valley Johnny?
11:40Steve and I suspected the spider ring was after Johnny.
11:44Do you have a gentleman registered here by the name of Death Valley Johnny?
11:47I should say we have.
11:49He's right over there in the midst of all those reporters.
11:51You can't miss him.
11:52Wait a minute, boys.
11:54Will you have a cigar?
11:55Oh, I'll have a cigar.
11:57I'll have a cigar.
11:59I'll have a cigar.
12:01Hello, boys.
12:02Will you have a cigar?
12:03Why, certainly.
12:04Will we have a cigar?
12:05You're a great guy, Johnny.
12:06Will I give you the headlines or will I give you the headlines?
12:09That's all right.
12:10Say, don't forget to print the best one.
12:13Hello, boys.
12:15Have a cigar.
12:16No, thanks.
12:17I don't use them.
12:18You?
12:19No, thanks.
12:20I smoke cigarettes.
12:21Oh, cigarettes, eh?
12:23Well, sit down and let's have a powwow.
12:25We don't mind if we do.
12:29Don't mind if I smoke.
12:30No, go right ahead.
12:31Help yourself.
12:32All right.
12:33Uh, what newspaper are you boys from?
12:36We're not from any newspaper.
12:38I'm Dick Tracy, Federal Bureau of Investigation.
12:40This is my assistant, Steve Lockwood.
12:43Well, what brings you here calling on me?
12:45We're here in your interest.
12:46We have reason to believe a certain criminal ring may cause you trouble.
12:49Yeah.
12:50Listen here, young man.
12:52I've guarded the whereabouts of that mine for nigh on to 20 years.
12:56And no umbre's gonna get it away from me.
12:58Besides, the gold won't be mine after 10 o'clock tonight.
13:03I'm sellin' out.
13:05Does anyone beside yourself know where the gold is?
13:07No, sir.
13:08I kept the secret of that mine in my head.
13:11And I ain't gonna open my yap until those jewelers sign on the dotted line.
13:16Jewelers?
13:17Yes.
13:18I'm sellin' out to a big firm of New York jewelers.
13:21And they're a good stiff figure, too.
13:25Death Valley Johnny got it that same night.
13:28Now, sir.
13:33I suppose you won't mind disclosing the whereabouts of your hidden mine.
13:36I suppose the specimen gold is kept there.
13:40Yep.
13:42I'll draw you a map.
13:44Here you are.
13:46Why, thank you.
13:51Ain't no trick in findin' it once you get on the right track.
13:56There.
13:58That ought to be plain and simple-like.
14:00That will be fine.
14:03Mr. Nolan, I'd like to see that map if you don't mind.
14:06I must say your actions are most peculiar.
14:08I'm sorry.
14:09Give us that paper.
14:19Death Valley Johnny didn't die.
14:21I guess he was too healthy and tough for the spider ring.
14:24The thing which ties these crimes together is the spider mark.
14:29And the walk of the man with the lame foot.
14:35Ah!
14:38What's the matter, Mike?
14:41I seen a spider.
14:44And now, Mr. Moffat, tell us what you know.
14:47Yes, sir.
14:48I was sent by the telephone company to trace a bum connection.
14:51I traced it down to a kind of a spooky-looking place away out of town.
14:54It was night.
14:55Something queer was going on around there,
14:57so I stuck around to get a load of what was happening.
15:08Is he still alive?
15:10Bring him inside, quick!
15:21Come.
15:30I have a report for the lame one.
15:42What is it, Burke?
15:46We brought Gordon Tracy here.
15:48Send Tracy in to me.
15:49He's hurt, dying.
15:51We have to chase him, and he ran his car over a bank.
15:53Can you do anything about it, Moloch?
15:57If he's not too far gone,
16:00I might do more than you can imagine.
16:19Hmm.
16:20His condition seems critical.
16:23What if he should die?
16:25Then we will eliminate a very dangerous enemy.
16:30He won't die.
16:32But by means of this operation,
16:35a simple altering of certain glands,
16:38he will be unable to distinguish between right and wrong.
16:43In that event, he will be very useful to us, Moloch.
16:46It was no mistake as to who they had, sir.
16:48It was Gordon Tracy, all right.
16:50My brother.
16:52There's no telling what those fiends have done to him.
16:58Listen!
16:59Listen!
17:25Ah!
17:29Ah!
