We have come for the transmitter, Mr. Bergstrom.

I told you, I'm not interested.

If you don't care to sell it, that makes it easier for us .

There take it Bela.

You can't do this.

Please, Doctor.

Bela.

[music playing]

Mr. Bambridge we're not questioning the loyalty

of your shipping men.

We're merely asking your cooperation.

Every oil tanker we lose weakens our Pacific bases.

Lack of oil may keep our planes on the ground.

Well, if the Navy would only give out tankers protection--

You can't expect the Navy to convoy every single tanker, Mr

Bambridge.

That's true, that's true.

But with the [inaudible] in effect at least

we thought our tankers would be harder to find.

That's exactly why we've asked you gentleman down here.

We have proof, concrete evidence that this enemy

submarine or submarines didn't have to find your ships,

they knew.

What?

They've been informed by radio the times

of sailing and the routes of almost every tanker.

It's unbelievable.

We've used every precaution, Mr. Fleming.

Yes, we know that, but Naval Intelligence has proof.

Lt. Winston--

This message was shortwaved last night in code

by an illegal transmitter.

--[inaudible] "Somali" sails tonight at midnight, Route 4.

Why no one knew anything about this but myself, one or two

of my trusted employees.

Yet three hours out of port, the "Somali"

was torpedoed, even before this message was decoded.

Someone has been systematically relaying this information

to the enemy offshore.

What do you suggest?

Well, you must redouble your efforts at secrecy while we

re-check all your employees.

In the meanwhile, we'll make every effort to locate

this illegal transmitter.

You can count on our full cooperation.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

How do like that.

Spies right in our rights.

[mumbling]

What about your listening posts, Pomeroy?

The trucks are already planted, and they'll be in use from now

on. -Good.

We'll be standing by.

Oh, thank you very much.

You're quite welcome.

[radio beeping and squealing]

What is it?

Just a plane.

I hope they broadcast before I get cauliflower ears.

That might be an improvement.

[radio squealing]

Hello, Mr. Fleming.

Any news from your listening posts?

Not a darn thing.

If they'd only start sending.

Well, I'll stick around for a while.

OK.

Maybe something will happen.

[radio squealing and beeping]

Oop, think I got something.

What is it, Al?

[radio beeping]

Your boys must be pretty busy these days.

Pomeroy speaking.

Yeah, yes.

They're sending.

West-northwest.

West-northwest.

Check.

West- northwest.

[phone ringing]

Pomeroy.

East-northeast.

East-northeast.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Pomeroy.

Directional beam east to west exactly.

Directional beam east to west exactly.

GB FLEMING: Triangulates perfectly.

Give me the phone.

Hello, this is Fleming of the FBI.

Give me my office quickly.

50th and Essex.

50th and Essex.

All right, everybody just keep your seats.

Federal Bureau of Investigation examination.

[music playing]

[radio beeping]

West-northwest.

RADIO MAN: West-northwest.

[radio beeping]

-All right, boys. -FBI.

Never mind. -It's all right men.

Take a look through here.

All right.

[music playing]

[beeping]

[music playing]

[inaudible] FBI.

Yes, sir.

[chatter]

So it adds up to a complete zero.

We know the transmitter was in every one of those locations

while it was being used.

Sure, sure it was.

But when we got there, it was gone.

They must be using something small, compact, portable.

Then it's more powerful than any battery

set we've ever heard of.

They may have a lot of things we've never heard of.

Well, you'll just have to keep your boys

plugging away, Pomeroy.

Oh, by the way, did you ever hear of a Johann Bergstrom?

Bergstrom?

No, I haven't.

Eh, never mind.

Who's this Bergstrom?

He's a radio inventor.

Has a laboratory out in the valley.

Disappeared last week.

Wait a minute.

You think he could have some connection

with the transmitter?

Might have.

We know he was working on some kind of a small outfit.

Hmm.

This device they're using must be highly technical.

Suppose something went wrong with it?

They'd need help.

They'd be in a pretty bad fix.

That's exactly what I mean.

Let's give them the help.

I think I see what you're driving at,

but they're probably pretty well set up for mechanical aid.

Maybe.

But suppose we arrange for some of the best radio brains

in this town to be fired from their jobs,

and we watch them and see what happens.

If nothing comes of it, we can always get them their jobs

back.

Pretty long shot.

Yeah.

It's worth trying, isn't it?

I'm afraid it's been made for you, Mr. Deerhold.

We'll have to operate.

But she's so young.

I know just how you feel, but if you'll leave

it in my hands--

[crash]

Tina, Tina.

Tina, what were you doing?

Hello, Uncle Lew.

Tina--

Mhm?

How many times have I told you not to play with my equipment.

Uncle Lew-- Ah, well, don't cry, darling.

The tubes were burned out anyhow.

Now you go downstairs and play while I talk to Miss Thurston.

Poor child.

It's just as if there were nothing wrong with her.

There seldom are any obvious symptoms.

How soon do you intend to operate?

Next week, but I'd like to take her to the hospital

now for observation.

I'll go down and look after her.

Miss Thurston--

Yes?

Please don't let her know she's going.

Do you want me to make arrangements with the hospital?

No, I'll make them.

Yes?

Hello, JD.

Will you have Basil fix me up with a four week advance

in salary.

I need it pretty badly.

JD: Come in here,Lew.

I've been waiting for you.

Morning, JD.

Morning

About that salary advance.

I, uh--

I'm afraid I can't let you have it, Lew.

You can't?

I, uh, don't know how to tell you this,

but we have to let you go.

Let me go?

Does it pertain to my work?

Nuh-uh, certainly not.

It isn't that.

Got it from the FBI.

Government orders.

What's the government got against me?

Oh, because I'm an alien?

No, that hasn't anything to do with it.

I wish I could tell you why, but I can't.

It may be only temporary.

Well, if it is because I'm an alien,

that's only a technicality.

Honestly, JD, I need this job badly, especially right now.

I'm sorry, old man, but we're at war and lots of things

have to be done that you and I don't understand.

I think I understand.

[music playing]

But you're a fine radio engineer.

What do you want with a repairman's job?

I need the work, and I can't be choosey.

Well, I might be able to find something for you.

Swell, how soon?

Maybe right away.

Maybe not at all.

Leave your name and address.

Uh, just keep that.

Good-bye.

Hey, come back here!

What's the matter?

He grabbed my purse.

Oh, he got away.

Not with this he didn't.

I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble.

There's really nothing valuable in it.

No family jewels, Miss, uh, AP-- Potter, Pilbeam, Pinkham?

No, couldn't be Pinkham.

Patterson, Ann Patterson.

No reward?

No, I'm afraid not.

I insist on a reward, Miss Patterson.

I once thought I was going to be a second Rachmaninoff.

Though I end up playing a switchboard in an office.

Tell me, what do you do when you're not

busy catching purse snatchers? -Me?

Uhuh.

I'm sort of a second Marconi, uh, without a job right now.

If that's the case, then I'll take the check.

Oh,no, it's not that bad.

You see, I was with InterAmerican Broadcasting.

They fired me because I was an alien.

Oh, you're kidding?

I, uh, I came to this country when I was a little kid.

Before I was 21, I went abroad to do some postgraduate work.

I came back a couple years ago.

Technically, I'm not a citizen.

That sounds very involved.

I hate to break this up, but I've got a date

to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world

good night.How'd you like to come along and watch?

Sure.

Come on.

At least it sounds different.

That's enough for now.

Good night, darling.

Will you bring Miss Patterson again?

We'll see.

Good night.

Uncle Lew.

Don't forget to kiss her good night.

Good night, Tina.

She's cute, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Her father was one of my professors at Leitzig.

Her mother was my sister.

What do you mean was?

They were both killed by stormtroopers.

I brought her back to this country three years ago.

Excuse me a minute, will you please?

Mhm.

Wait a minute.

Hm?

You speaking to me?

Yeah, what are you following me for?

You're mistaken.

You've been following me all night.

Saw you over at the restaurant.

I'm sure you're mistaken.

No, I'm not.

Why don't you FBI guys layoff me?

First you got my job and then-- -Got your--

Yeah, sure I know I'm mistaken.

You go back and tell that boss of yours he's mistaken,

and if he hasn't anything better to do than have you follow me

around-- Look, I've got nothing to hide.

May I go now?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Something wrong?

No, it's all right.

Good night.

I forgot to tell you I make a terrific cup of coffee.

Oh, no thanks, Lew. It's too late.

I'm a working girl.

When will I see you?

Call me.

Tomorrow?

Call me.

How'd you make out?

Phew.

Good.

Good evening, Mr. Deerhold.

Oh, Mr. Haldine.

What's this all about?

I regret that we have to wait [inaudible], Mr. Deerhold.

This is Dr. Huneker.

How do you do?

You heard of my health resort, the Old Mill Hot Springs?

No, I haven't.

No?

Mr. Haldine tells me you are interested in obtaining work.

Yes, I am, but, uh--

Well, perhaps we should go to your apartment.

Surely.

After you.

Thank you.

No doubt you are very confused, Mr. Deerhold.

You are not a man to exaggerate, Doctor.

Ha, ha, you are a very amusing chap.

I wish he'd sit down.

My friend Bela.

Manic depressive, never relaxes.

What has he been following me for?

You mistook him for a Federal man.

Well, to be frank, he has been following you.

Not very good at it.

Well, we are amateurs at this sort of thing.

But I want to come to the point.

We have been trying to perfect a therapeutic machine

which employs radio principles.

I made a thorough study of radiotherapy in Leipzig.

Excellent.

You hear, Haldine?

I must congratulate you on your recommendation on Mr. Deerhold.

Thank you, Dr.

My machine has not yet been patented

and attempts have been made to appropriate its principles.

That's why all this hocus pocus, huh?

Well, we wanted to investigate you

thoroughly before employing you to make parts for the machine.

When do you want me to start.

At once.

Tomorrow we will supply you with materials and blueprints.

Uh, Bela, just a little advance to show our good faith.

Satisfactory?

Very.

To a profitable association.

And now we shall have to leave, Haldine.

You have a very nice place here, Mr. Deerhold.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, yes, there is one other point.

You have to handle this work alone.

As I said, until we receive our patents,

we have use every precaution.

I understand, Doctor.

Good night, Mr. Deerhold.

-Good night, Doctor -Good night.

Good night.

Thank you, Mr. Bambridge.

[ship's horn blowing]

Well, sir, that's one more on its way.

Yep, I used to get a thrill seeing one of my ships

leave port, but now I-- Larson, let's

hope this one gets through.

I've got my fingers crossed.

All right, well, can I take you uptown?

Uh, no thanks.

I have to run over and pick up a prescription.

Oh, is the missus any better?

No, sir.

Well, that's too bad, Larson.

Now give her my best.

-Thank you, sir. -Good night.

Good night, sir.

Good evening.

Yes.

Steamship "Barakova" sailed 9:15, Route 8.

Yes.

All right.

Thank you, good-bye.

That number he called was a pay station, the Edgemore Hotel.

Oh, good, Mr. Bambridge.

I'm glad you're here.

We wanted you present when we question this fellow.

Well, why don't you want me to radio the tanker.

We ought to change its route.

Navy instructions.

They've got a couple of bombers escorting the "Barakova"

and hope to trap the sub.

Oh, I see. I see.

I'm afraid they're not going to have much luck tonight though.

That illegal transmitter has been silent tonight.

Uh, by the way, have you ever had any reason

to suspect this Larson?

Why, no, he's been with me for over 18 years.

Mhm.

Well, you never can tell.

He's in here.

All right, Larson, you've had plenty

of time to think it over.

You ready to talk now?

Come on, man, speak up.

You'll be better off.

Larson?

Dead.

Doctor, Captain Haigas and Commander Toyo.

Welcome, Captain Haigas, Commander.

How are you, Doctor?

You understand your new instructions?

Don't you think it's dangerous to proceed now

that Larson has been arrested?

You don't have to worry about that, Doctor.

Larson killed himself without talking.

Now that they know about Larson,

they believe their information is stopped completely.

If any tankers are leaving, you with contact the submarine--

In the usual manner.

But, Doctor, the radio is not--

Bela!

The radio is not what?

The equipment is temporarily out of order.

Why did you not tell us?

Do not excite yourself, Commander.

At this moment, the competent engineer is completing

the necessary replacement.

We have been assigned one duty, doctor, to see that no oil

reaches Allied bases.

We cannot fail in this.

I assure you we will handle our part.

Heil Hitler.

[ALL]Heil Hitler.

The submarine that is accomplishing this work,

gentlemen, is Japanese.

Here it is.

A bunch of junk, but it's a living.

What's this?

Something to do with your new job?

Nuh-uh.

You're as bad as Tina.

Ha, that's not bad.

Come on out here, and I'll show you something really pretty.

[music playing]

I hired a little man to go around

and put a special twinkle in those lights

tonight, just for you.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Why, Mr. Deerhold.

Blame it on Tina.

Why Tina?

Tina's a pretty stubborn little girl,

and she's go her mind made up to have you for a new mama.

Don't you think Tina is a bit of a fast worker.

That's what I told her.

You tell Tina to give me a chance to think, will you?

You'd better go in. You're getting cold.

Oh, no. I-- I like it here.

Just get my coat for me.

All right.

[music playing]

JB.

Thank you.

JB.

Johann Bergstrom.

Well, these initials are identical with those we

picked up in Bergstrom's shack.

He doesn't know you took this?

No, of course not.

He might have had some legitimate business

with Bergstrom.

Possibly.

Better pick him up, Grayson.

Yes, sir.

Relax, kid.

JB Could stand for Jack Benny.

Yes, Doctor.

Yes.

Tina's condition has suddenly changed.

I have to operate tonight.

I'll be right over.

Yes, what is it?

I'm in a hurry.

So are we, Mr. Deerhold.

FBI.

Haven't I seen your faces someplace before?

We get around.

Chief wants to have a little talk with you.

I'm sorry, but my business is urgent.

So it this.

Very urgent.

All right.

Yeah.

The fourth block, huh?

Yes, all right.

Ann. -Yeah.

Will you take care of this right away, please.

Sure. [intercom buzzing]

Yes.

SECRETARY [OVER INTERCOM]: Mr. Grayson

is here with Mr. Deerhold.

All right. Send them in.

You better take a walk.

Yes, I'll be down in the drugstore.

All right.

Hurry up.

This is Mr. Deerhold, Mr. Fleming.

How do you do, Mr. Deerhold?

Look here, Mr. Fleming.

First the FBI got my job, and then you pick me up.

Just what do you want with me?

We think you can give us some information.

Won't you sit down, please?

Understand you have a new job.

Yes, I'm doing some work on my own.

Mhm.

What kind of work, Mr. Deerhold?

I, uh--

What kind of work?

Uh, therapy machine, diathermy.

Therapy, huh?

Tell me, when did you see Bergstrom last?

Bergstrom?

Johann Bergstrom.

Well, I don't known him personally.

I know of his work-- very fine in his field.

So I understand.

Right now you're working on a machine to make people healthy.

Is that it?

That's right.

Another one of these.

Did he have anything to say?

Nothing so far.

Chief can't keep him up there much longer.

Wants me to case the apartment.

You're to keep him busy.

Right there.

Kind of like the guy, huh?

Mhm.

Well, I hope for your sake I don't find anything.

But I'm going to look just the same.

You're a good egg, Freddie.

Thanks.

Yep, yeah, I'll check on it right away.

All right.

Excuse me, Mr. Deerhold.

Mr. Fleming, are you holding me on any charge?

Nope.

Well, I've got to be at the Southern Hospital.

I don't know what you want with me,

but you know where you can find me.

All right, Deerhold.

You can go.

Thank you.

[car horn honking]

Lew, Lew Deerhold.

Oh, what you are you doing here?

I thought you were a working girl.

I have the afternoon off.

Can I drop you somewhere?

Yeah, you can drop me at the hospital.

Well, get in.

Ann, do you believe in fate?

In what way?

You know like two people meeting out

of nowhere, like you and me.

One little coincidence like that tramp grabbing your bag.

Uhuh, those things happen.

Nuh, it must have been fate.

What's gotten into you?

Now you can go back and tell your boss to give you a bonus

for the way you handled me.

And if ever I want any purses snatched,

you can tell Grayson I'll get in touch with him.

[doorbell ringing]

[knocking]

Well, we can't wait.

Open the door, Haldine.

He might not come back for hours yet.

You find it?

Yes, Doctor.

Right here.

Deerhold is an excellent craftsman.

Yes, I have a feeling that ideologically he is one of us.

He would make a available party man.

Hurry with that.

We must get back and prepare that code breaker.

Just a minute, doctor.

There [inaudible].

Yeah, thanks to Mr. Bergstrom.

All right, Doctor, reach.

You too.

Over by the door all of you.

Well, so this was Bergstrom's gadget.

What kind of prescriptions do you write, Doctor?

Radio quickly.

[music playing]

No,no, no, the stairs.

[music playing]

Grayson, Grayson, what happened?

Your Nazi doctor friend.

Shortwave transmitter.

Nazi?

Hello.

Hello, Dr. Barclay, Lew Deerhold.

I'm afraid I can't be at the hospital tonight.

No matter what happens, go through with the operation.

Open up in there.

I can't explain now.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Good-bye, Doctor.

[knocking]

POLICEMAN: Open up!

[banging]

Come on.

[music playing]

Hey, stop!

Beat it downstairs and head him off.

[music playing]

[chatter]

Are you hurt?

He's gone.

Crazy driving a car in here.

[chatter]

Start that way.

Walk to the end of the tunnel.

Keep moving folks.

Go out this way.

Out this way, folks.

Keep moving.

GB FLEMING: All right, Dave, let's wrap this stuff up.

Drop it on there, boss.

GB FLEMING:OK.

Address book, laundry list, letters.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

Oh, the woman in the case.

Ann Patterson, Academy 4328.

Huneker.

That's one of those mud bath places.

Just out of town.

A great place to sweat it out.

Oh, yeah.

You better check this the first chance you get.

Bring that stuff downstairs.

If he's as crazy about that kid as

you say, we better stake out the hospital.

Keep going.

You crazy?

Drive.

All right, get out, pal.

Maybe the doctor will give you a medal for this.

The gateman informed me you were on the way.

Yeah, I happened to be in the neighborhood.

Do come in.

Go on, get in there.

After you, Doctor.

Do sit down.

Nuh-uh.

I'm a manic depressive like laughing boy.

You are a very amusing chap.

Have a cigarette.

Never mind about that.

What are you going to do about me?

You seem to have a grievance, Deerhold.

After knocking that FBI guy off in my apartment,

what do you want me to do?

Kiss you?

I believe the usual procedure is to go to the police.

And stick my neck out for you?

Oh, no, I'm looking after myself.

You don't think you fooled me with that electric therapy

machine, do you?

I was wise to you guys right from the beginning.

So--

So I'm cutting myself in.

Sure you put me on the spot when you knocked that guy off.

But leaving that bag behind was no stroke of genius.

Don't worry.

I brought these along too.

Just what do you want?

Told you I wanted a cut in.

There's real doe in this, not the kind of chicken

feed you've been paying me, but real doe.

Suppose we don't let you in?

Now wait a minute, Doctor.

You need me just as much as I need you.

I'm pretty happy with those little gadgets.

You're not kidding me.

When you came to me in the first place, you knew I was an alien.

And after the pushing around I got from those federal agents,

where do you think I stand?

Where every true Aryan with an ounce of intelligence

should stand-- squarely behind the Fuhrer.

I admire your spirit, Deerhold.

You'll have a fine place in the new order in this country.

You bet your sweet life I will.

Now, uh, may I have that?

Yeah, I took it away from him.

You never can tell.

A guy as unhappy as that might bump himself off.

Don't trust him, Doctor.

Bela, don't be vindictive.

We need clever men.

We need you too.

Now, Doctor, I'll have one of your cigarettes.

Please.

He said that no matter what happened,

I was to go ahead with the operation.

Well if he calls again, keep him on the phone.

We'll check the call.

Right.

And I better check this.

Good night, Doctor.

Good night.

You better get some rest, Ann.

You've had a hectic day.

Night.

Good night.

You are quite certain the police did not follow you?

What kind of a sap do you think you're dealing with?

You will be safe here.

The police do not suspect this place.

Yeah, it's cozy as--

The record is ready.

Good.

Come along, Deerhold, I want to try it on an expert.

Hurry up, Haldine.

We're quite anxious to have Mr. Deerhold's opinion.

This is all right.

Your own laboratory, huh?

[radio beeping]

The method of disguising our radio signal.

See what you think.

Hm, if that's code, you can't prove it by me.

How are you progressing with your guest?

You may leave, Haldine.

You've done well.

Thank you, Doctor.

We shall see Commander.

I want you to meet our guest, Mr. Bambridge.

Bambridge?

Very important man.

Head of the Bambridge shipping lines.

Eh.

What has he to say, Bela?

We do not choose to do this, Mr. Bambridge.

Why not be reasonable.

A few words and we'll let you go.

I don't bargain with rats.

Continue.

You're wasting time, Haneker.

Haigas will get us the information we need.

You're right Commander.

Bela--

Ja?

Get rid of him.

Why not our new recruit?

It would be good training.

Splendid, Bela, splendid.

Deerhold, your first assignment.

[music playing]

All right, boys.

You'd better come up here.

Stay where you are, Bambridge.

Put 'em up.

So Bela was right after all, hm.

Stay where you are.

You didn't think I was going to give you a loaded gun, did you?

Really?

[music playing]

Keep going.

[music playing]

When they find him, he'll be miles from here.

[music playing]

DR. HUNEKER: Mhm.

Yes.

Yes, I have it, Hodges.

Three [inaudible] tankers.

"Decoy," [inaudible] and the "Westdream."

Good.

Three of them at once.

That is making up for lost time, huh?

Sailing 9:15, Route 4.

Good.

One moment.

He wants to know if he should join us now.

Give me the phone.

Hello, Toyo speaking.

Yes, the doctor told me.

Excellent, Hodges, excellent.

We'll set the flares above Shorehills Point.

Continue as you are until the ships have left,

then phone us at the appointed place.

We must make positive there are no last minute

changes in the sailing orders.

Understood?

Good, good.

[radio beeping]

That is correct.

Good-bye.

There see Commander.

Everything on schedule.

Did you have the transmitter put in the car?

Oh, yes, Doctor.

Put the flares in too.

Yes, Doctor.

Craft sale tonight.

Site the yellow flare.

Route--

Well, the tanker should be opposite Shorehills Point

at, say, 9:45.

I'll add the sailing time to the report

and bring the record myself.

This time there will be no further mistakes.

I'll see you in a moment.

[music playing]

Dr. Huneker, Dr. Huneker, Dr. Huneker.

DR. HUNEKER: Commander, where are you?

What is it?

[music playing]

Help, that way.

Hold the gates and tell them take care of the fence.

Come along with me.

[music playing]

After him, Wolf.

[music playing]

I wonder if I--

They're not taking any guests.

The hot springs is closed for the season.

I don't want to stay here.

I'd just like to talk to Dr. Huneker.

The Doctor's away.

There's nobody here but me.

Do you know a Mr. Deerhold?

Was he one of the doctor's patients?

I'm only the gateman.

I don't know any of the patients.

When will the doctor return?

I don't know.

I was never so glad to see anybody in my life.

Neither was I. Get in here.

Thanks.

Hurry with that record, Huneker.

Your stupidity may cause complete failure.

He should get to the police--

Please Commander.

In the first place, we can't know what their plans are.

In the second place, the police are the last people

he wants to see.

Logic, logic.

If we are defeated, it will be by your German logic.

Hurry.

Let's hear that again.

The head of the Bambridge Steamship Company

was just killed back there.

If I don't get to his office right away,

three tankers will be sunk.

Where do you think that story will get you?

We're going down to see my boss.

I'll go any place you like, but take me

to somebody who can stop those tankers from sailing.

Just keep talking.

You have a talent for it.

What is it, please?

I got some vital information regarding some of your tankers

that are leaving tonight.

Where did you learn that we were-- never mind.

There's some people here who say they

have some urgent information regarding tonight's sailings.

BAMBRIDGE/HAIGAS [ON INTERCOM]: Send them in.

Yes, sir.

Will you go in, please. -Thank you.

Right in there.

Uh-hum.

Hm, Oh, how do you do?

Bambridge?

Pretty healthy corpse, huh?

I don't believe I've had the privilege.

I thought that-- This is impossible.

I'm Ann Patterson.

This is Lew Deerhold.

Who is this?

Lew Deerhold?

Deerhold?

The man whom the police are--

Yes, I just picked him up.

He insisted on coming here.

Said he had the lowdown on a spy plot-- something

about a submarine that's scheduled

to attack your tankers tonight.

Well, speak up man. What do you know?

Don't be alarmed, Mr. Bambridge.

He also told me that he saw you killed by a Jap

at the Old Mill Hot Springs.

You don't look very dead to me.

Well, you really had me worried.

Heh, this is pretty fantastic, isn't it?

Are you satisfied to come along now?

Just a minute.

What she says happened.

What happened to you, I don't know.

The rest of it I--

Well, as I happen to be involved in this case,

Miss Patterson, I believe I should

accompany you to your office.

Something's screwy around here.

If you have any more to say, say it to my boss.

He enjoys a good story.

We can use my car.

Where to, Mr. Bambridge?

Old Mill Hot Springs.

Now don't do anything foolish.

Mm, beautiful weapons these automatics.

So they really killed Bambridge.

Oh, yes.

I know what you're thinking of, Mr. Deerhold.

Please don't.

Killing isn't my profession.

I'm convinced.

Your mustache is coming loose.

Thank you.

It is a nuisance, isn't it?

Your makeup is very good.

Hm, nothing remarkable.

My features are not unlike Mr. Bambridge's.

Few gray hairs, mustache, glasses, a little makeup.

Very easy.

You should've seen me at Deutsches in Berlin.

Just a ham.

The very best.

Are you sure you understand every detail?

Quite sure.

Good.

I'll return immediately to the Bambridge office.

Very well, Captain Hodges.

lock them up where they'll be safe and then

proceed at once to your post.

With the [inaudible] in effect, our submarine

needs the help of your flares.

We are ready.

You see, Deerhold, you cost me a great deal of embarrassment.

Give them to me, Doctor.

Bela!

I believe you acted the way you did because you were shocked

by what we did to Bambridge.

My friend, we have to do those things.

There's nothing we can do about the girl,

but I'm giving you a last opportunity to become

part of the new order.

That's quite a choice, Doctor.

The choice of dying like a man, or living like a rat.

Sure I could lie, but after watching you boys work,

I'm afraid it would turn my stomach.

You're not even American.

You have been complaining yourself that you are

unjustly persecuted by the FBI.

Sure I squawked.

I had a right to squawk, because this is America.

I see it's no use.

I'm wasting my time on you.

Take them down, Bela.

I'll see you by the car.

Come, come.

Faster, faster.

Inside.

Now we will see if you're so amusing.

Good-bye, Mr. Deerhold.

They've gone.

Take it easy.

I'll be in surgery.

Oh, Doctor, you haven't heard from him, eh?

No, I'll have to go ahead.

[music playing]

A hundred and forty-five.

Get down on the floor.

Keep as low as you can.

It's not so thick.

If that thing goes above a hundred and sixty--

Yeah, I know.

Let's think about something else.

Why do you suppose that man took Bambridge's place?

To get information regarding the sailing

and routes of the ships.

Oh.

When they get off at Shorehills Point,

the subs will knock off the tankers.

Nice, tight little scheme.

They sailed at 9:15.

Yes, I'm leaving immediately.

[music playing]

I got a hunch.

What is it?

What are you going to do?

One chance in a million I can get this transformer to work.

Anything's worth trying.

[music playing]

Here, Haldine.

Well, Doctor?

They left on schedule.

Good.

Signal the submarine.

[radio beeping]

That ought to do it.

Where are those other two wires?

Here.

Keep your light on.

It won't be very strong, and it can't reach very far.

Maybe half a mile.

Let's hope it works.

[music playing]

Let's pray that somebody's listening

who can read the stuff.

[radio music playing]

Once more.

We must make certain.

[music playing]

[non-english speech]

Bedtime, Johnny.

You were up late last night.

Ah, gee, Pop.

I've been trying to get Australia.

Now you heard what your father said, Johnny.

You turn that thing off and go to bed.

Ah, gee.

Wait a minute, Mom.

That sounds like code.

You and your ideas.

I don't know what I'm going to do with that son of yours.

A chip off the old block.

Johnny, go to bed.

[radio signals]

Tankers are coming around the point.

Get the flares ready.

Pop!

Hey Pop!

What are you trying to do?

Scare the wits out of me?

Pop, it's a spy plot.

We got to tell somebody right away.

The Army, or the Navy, or the FBI, or somebody.

Oh, Johnny, for the love of Mike.

No kidding, Pop, I tell ya-- holy smoke.

It stopped.

Operator, could you get me the FBI?

Uh, yes.

If you've pulled a boner-- Johnny, hey wait a minute.

Hello--

Yeah, yeah, well, thank you.

No, the kid's probably right.

All right, boys, get a squad car in front right away.

Barnes get me the bomber command.

Make it snappy.

ANNOUNCER:Attention!

Submarine alert.

Third bomber squadron.

Japanese sub reported off Shorehills Point.

Take off at once.

You know what to do, boys.

All quiet, Lieutenant.

Nothing but those three tankers up ahead.

Keep your eyes peeled.

All right, open up in there.

Open up.

What's going on?

You've got a couple of prisoners here.

There's nobody here but me.

Yeah, well, we'll find out.

Joe, take care of him.

Ship off left wing, sir.

Could be a submarine.

Make up your mind.

Wipe your glasses.

It's a pig boat, all right.

This is [inaudible].

Give me first crack.

Well, how do you like that?

He didn't even give us a try.

One bomb, one sub.

Let's go home.

Lieutenant Steele reporting.

Submarine sighted.

Sunk.

That's all.

All right, that's all.

Come on, get out of there.

All right, fellas, take 'em on in.

Come on.

Bring these cars back.

Could be about here.

Steam room.

Let's try this. -Hurry up.

They might be dead.

As your commanding officer, it is a privilege to present you,

Private Deerhold, with this Certificate of Citizenship

by special act of the Congress of the United States.

I'm very happy to receive this, sir.

Honestly, folks, it isn't this piece of paper

that makes an American.

It's what you have in your heart for your country.

We know our way of life is best.

Fighting to keep it that way.

Thank you.

COMMANDING OFFICER: Private Deerhold.

Thank you, sir.
