Faster, Kato.

Prince Reveal's plane should be landing about now.

If he gets there before we do, he's a dead man.

Thank you, Thomas.

I won't need you anymore tonight, Thomas.

Oh, Miss Prescott.

Good evening, Mr. Bacary.

His Highness will be overjoyed to find you here to meet him.

His plane just landed.

We should confer soon about the arrangements for the wedding.

Yes.

Yes, we should.

I know His Highness will be pleased that you are agreeable for the ceremony taking place in the consulate.

I'd be delighted to be married on the steps of City Hall.

By a justice of the peace, if that's what Raphael wanted.

Jeanette.

Raphael.

Darling.

Let me look at you.

It's true.

It's not possible, but it is true.

You're more beautiful than ever.

The Green Hornet.

Let's leave the rest to them.

An attempt on my life?

That's right, Your Highness.

How do you know, Mr. Reid?

I received an anonymous phone call last night.

Before I could call the police, I learned that the Green Hornet had disposed of the threat.

But why?

Why would this Green Hornet bother to save my life?

From what I've been told, he's a notorious criminal.

That's true, Your Highness.

I have no idea what his motive was.

I have political enemies, of course.

What head of state doesn't?

But even if the incident at the airport last night involved an assassination attempt, I'm perfectly safe here in the consulate.

I'm not so sure.

There is a reception here tonight, Your Honor.

But Mr. Reid's attendance is by invitation only.

Invitations have been known to fall into the wrong hands, Mr. Bakir.

Your Highness, I'd like your permission to post a strong police guard around the consulate grounds tonight.

Well, I see no objection to that.

Do you, Bakir?

As long as the police do not come on the consulate ground.

This is a Cajaran territory, as much as the capital of Cajara itself, and must be respected as such.

I understand that, Mr. Bakir.

Well then, it is settled.

I wish to thank you, gentlemen, for your concern over my safety.

Jeanette has mentioned you, Mr. Reid.

Your families are all friends, I understand.

That's right.

I will look forward to seeing you at the reception this evening.

And you too, Mr. Scanlon.

Thank you.

Be careful, Your Highness.

I will.

When a man is going to marry a girl as wonderful as my fiancée, he has a great deal to live for.

See you tonight.

Good night.

Good night.

Doesn't the line ever end?

When you are Princess Jeanette of Cajara, you become reconciled to affairs like this.

Excuse me, miss.

You wanted on the telephone.

I was told to say it was urgent.

Urgent?

You can take it in the library, miss.

Thank you.

Will you excuse me, darling?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Ah!

Oh!

Ah!

Good evening, Your Highness.

Ah, Mr. Reid.

Good to see you again.

Good to see you.

Mr. Baquia?

How do you do?

Colonel Sarajac?

Good evening.

Good evening.

Mr. Reid, Jeanette has been called to the telephone.

Let's find her and have a nice, quiet drink.

Just the three of us.

Good idea.

Darling, I...

That's strange.

I wonder where she is.

Oh!

What is that odor?

Chloroform.

Something has happened to Jeanette.

Has Mr. Scanlon arrived yet?

Yes?

Speaking.

Excuse me, Frank.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Trouble.

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Jeanette has been kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

And unless I return to Kahara and announce my abdication within 48 hours, she will be killed.

Sarajac.

Highness.

How soon can my plane be ready to take off for Kahara?

To take off for Kahara?

But, your Highness, I don't understand.

How soon?

A couple of hours.

Then see to it.

Don't give in to that demand, your Highness.

What are you talking about?

I have to.

Jeanette's life is at stake.

But I don't think returning to Kahara and announcing my abdication within 48 hours and abdicating your throne is going to save her.

Men vicious enough to do a thing like this to force you out of power wouldn't hesitate to kill her once they've got what they want.

Mr. Scanlon.

They won't harm her as long as they need her to bargain with.

Time is on your side, not theirs.

Make them wait.

Give the police a chance.

They'll find out who's holding Jeanette and where.

No, Mr. Scanlon.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you're right.

But what if you're wrong?

I cannot risk that.

My throne means nothing to me compared to Jeanette's life.

Have the plane ready in two hours.

Your Highness.

I've got to stop him, Frank.

Oh, you've done as much as you can.

Not quite.

Let's go.

Hey!

Oh!

My apologies, Your Highness.

Look.

They're coming at us from all directions.

That blade's like armor plate.

Activate the Hornet Mortar.

I've got it.

That doesn't...

Not quite.

Copper, move, Kato.

Over there!

Blast that door.

What's the meaning of this?

You've been kidnapped.

Technically.

I don't understand.

Last night you saved my life.

Or so I'm told.

And tonight, this.

It's simple, Your Highness.

I couldn't let you deprive me of the opportunity to make $25,000.

Is that the ransom you're asking for me?

No.

That's the price for the rescue of Jeanette Prescott.

The rescue of Jeanette?

That's right.

If the price is too high...

I'm only interested in Jeanette's safety.

How can you free her?

Do you know where she's being held?

I think I do.

Where?

I'd rather not say.

If I'm right...

It's going to take a lot of planning to rescue her without risking her life.

Meanwhile, you'll have to remain here as our guest.

For how long?

Until tomorrow night.

That may be too late.

Let's hope not, Your Highness.

If it is, we're too late already.

If there's anything you want, just ring.

You've gone too far this time, Britt.

Do you know that Prince Ruffield is the head of a foreign government?

Calm down, Frank.

Oh, calm down, calm down.

Um...

Can you think of the international repercussions once this gets out?

It's not going to get out.

How can you be sure?

Why did you do it?

It's the only way I could think of to save Jeanette Prescott.

I don't get the connection.

Frank, there were 25 policemen on guard outside the consulate last night.

Haven't you wondered how the kidnappers got her out without somebody seeing something suspicious?

Well?

They didn't take her outside the consulate.

After they chloroformed her, they took her somewhere inside the consulate.

Are you suggesting that Abu Bakr and Colonel Sarajac are behind Jeanette Prescott's kidnapping?

Yes, I am.

I've already contacted them.

The Green Hornet has an appointment with them tonight.

Oh?

To collect the Prince's ransom.

Where are you taking me?

To find Miss Prescott.

I need your help.

Will you give it to me?

Do I have a choice?

Not if you want to see Miss Prescott alive again.

Then you have my answer.

Good.

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to find Miss Prescott.

We're going to find Miss Prescott.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Good evening.

Is that the money?

This is the way I like to do business.

Quickly and to the point.

When do we get him?

I told you on the telephone.

Within an hour after the payment of the ransom.

As soon as I clear these grounds, I'll tell you where you can find His Highness.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Get me the main gate.

This is Colonel Sarajeck.

The Green Hornet has just left.

Make certain he is in his car when he leaves.

But why?

Simply because I do not trust him.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Al Trump.

Hi.

Get your hands off me.

I never said I'd blow the whistle on anyone, but...

Owen.

Call the fuzz.

Tell him Al Trump just got the Green Hornet.

Oh!

Close the door.

What was that noise?

I don't know, Your Excellency.

Well, find out.

The basement.

The basement.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

You all right?

Yes.

Let's go.

Right there.

The chair.

Crack it in.

That won't hold for long.

Let's see if we can find a way out of here.

There.

There he is.

Get him.

Raphael.

Oh, darling.

Are you all right?

Yes.

The Green Hornet, where is he?

He's back in there in the wine cellar.

There are cars in the back.

The keys are in there.

Take one.

Get out of here and call the police.

Now, Mr. Hornet, we'll see who you really are.

Hold it.

Thank you, my friend.

Thank you, Your Highness.

The police.

Hadn't you better go?

Right.

Oh, wait.

The $25,000, I owe you.

Forget it, Your Highness.

Consider that a wedding present.

The Green Hornet is somewhat of a romanticist.

Fool.

Fool.

Unit 25, proceed to 1265 Main.

A 459 Silent.

Unit 25, proceed to 1265 Main.

A 459 Silent.

Move out.

We'd better not this time, Bert.

What if you know 25 is on top of us?

Then we'll tell them we've come to assist.

Let's go!

I'm silent.

Did you get that address, Kato?

1265 Main.

Then let's move.

Maybe this is what we've been waiting for.

Come on over.

Get some of this stuff.

This is too risky, Bert.

I'm getting out.

I don't want any part of it.

You already have part of it.

You're in this up to your ears.

Now, get over there and dig in.

Come on, let's go.

Stop or I'll shoot!

Who were you shooting at?

It was the Green Hornet.

The Green Hornet?

Yeah, I winged him in the shoulder, but he got away in that car of his.

Better get this on the air, fast.

This is Unit 25, reporting from 1265 Main Street.

We just made contact with the Green Hornet, leaving the scene of a burglary at this address.

We wounded him in the left shoulder, but we're unable to prevent his getaway.

Is that a positive identification?

Positive.

Is it bad?

Yeah.

Can you get those clothes off?

There's a hospital close by.

You'll need a doctor.

I'm afraid it's not going to be that simple.

Turn on the police radio.

And Unit 25 reports, the Green Hornet has been shot in the left shoulder.

All hospitals and private physicians are to be alerted.

Anyone, repeat, anyone requesting treatment for such a wound should be detained.

Warning, this man is known to be armed and dangerous.

Let's go home, Kato.

Let's go.

Thanks.

Any idea what he was doing here?

It looks like a routine 459.

There must have been something inside he really wanted.

He doesn't usually break into crummy jewelry stores.

Well, he did this one.

Can I be of any help?

No, thanks.

We got everything under control.

Just waiting for the detectives.

All right.

Be seeing you around.

This is bad.

You really need a doctor.

Looks like you're it for now, Kato.

You better answer it.

Mr. Reed's residence.

How bad is he?

Well, that's out of the question.

He'd be arrested immediately.

Painkiller?

Well, I'll try.

Yeah, I'll get there as soon as I can.

Well, that's it.

End of shift.

Head for the station.

Listen, Bert.

Tonight was the last time.

You stupid kid.

You don't know what a sweet deal this has turned into.

With the Green Hornet taking the rap.

Is that gonna help me sleep tonight?

It smells bad, Bert.

I smell bad.

Forget it.

We're not gonna get caught.

You don't even know what I'm talking about.

Maybe I do.

But you're not getting out now.

You understand?

Mm-hmm.

That's no candy, no flowers.

I brought you a painkiller.

Strongest I could find.

Well, the thoughtful visitor.

The right gift for the right occasion.

Well, that's bad, isn't it?

I never realized how much trouble one little bullet could cause so much trouble.

Not like this in the Westerns.

I'm sorry I involved you in this, but I was afraid of a leak.

Maybe it wasn't all in vain, Frank.

Cato, show him what we found on the floor of that jewelry shop.

Police.

My hunch was right.

I was hoping it wouldn't be.

2,000 honest policemen, Frank.

Only one or two bad ones.

How are you gonna handle it?

Well, first I'll have to find out who belongs to this button.

It's not gonna be easy.

But it has to be done.

It's gotta come out.

How?

Yeah.

How?

No matter what accident stereo you invented, even the publisher of the Sentinel would be under immediate suspicion.

Unless the accident happened in front of a lot of people.

Say that again?

I said unless the accident happened in front of a lot of people.

How?

What time is it?

It's 10 after 5 a.m. In an hour from now, the city room at the Sentinel will be buzzing with activity.

What are you talking about?

Only give me half of that stuff, Cato.

But that won't be enough to do it.

I don't want to be knocked out.

I want to say good morning to my witnesses.

Well, I hope you know what you're doing.

Morning, everybody.

Morning, Mr. Reid.

Morning, Dick.

Great editorial.

Thanks.

Morning, Carson.

Morning, morning.

Morning, Chief.

Gorgeous editorial.

Thanks, Mike.

I thought you of all people would like it.

I think you should follow up tomorrow.

Page one again.

We should hail the Green Hornet for jumping those burglary calls.

Isn't enough evidence, Mike.

Even the Green Hornet's entitled to a little evidence.

How much more do you need?

He was caught escaping.

Nobody move.

I'll kill the next one who does.

Now, where's Britt Reid?

What's going on here?

Mr. Reid, I have a message from the Green Hornet.

Thanks for the editorial.

Hi, Miss Case.

What's all this?

Business as usual.

You're hopeless.

See you, Doc.

How you feeling?

Fine.

Let me look at the evening edition first, then we'll get to work, okay?

The Mitchell Warehouse Company on Ashland Street today received an unusually large shipment of valuable furs and...

What's this doing on page one?

Should be in the back of section D if it's in the paper at all.

Well, it...

Well, what?

It was Mike.

He insisted it be on page one.

He said he had a very good reason for it.

You know Mike.

After he won his point, he took off and I haven't seen him since.

Valuable furs.

Get on the phone, see if you can locate him.

I've already tried that.

He's not at any of his usual spots.

Okay, take all this stuff back to the office.

We'll continue tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

Thanks, Miss Case.

Operator, get me 5556789, please.

Scanning.

Yes, Britt.

How are you feeling?

Passable.

Have you come up with anything on that button yet?

At this afternoon's inspection, the shift commander at the Commercial District Station gave a demerit to an officer for a missing uniform button.

This may be a possibility.

What's his name?

He's a new kid.

Dixon.

James Dixon.

He's a night radio card due to Unit 36.

His partner's an old-timer named Bert Clark.

Okay.

Thanks, Frank.

Britt.

Wait a minute.

What are you up to?

It's Mike Axford that's up to something.

Looks like he's decided to set a little trap for the Green Hornet.

He doesn't realize he's up against a couple of policemen who wouldn't hesitate to kill him just to protect their racket.

Yeah, but can't you stop him?

I can't find him.

At least not from this hospital room.

Britt, you're in no shape...

Let's go.

Can you do the police station and take it?

No.

Well, I'll tell you who can.

The Green Hornet!

Remember, we want it to look like we're in here to break out a prisoner.

I'll try to find the gun.

The Green Hornet!

The Green Hornet!

That's it, Kato.

Pass them.

Let them get a good look at us.

You see that?

The Green Hornet's car.

What are you doing?

My resistance.

Those are orders.

Orders?

You know what happens if we catch the Green Hornet alone?

It's a promotion.

Extra money.

Money?

Is that all you'll think about?

Oh, you bet, baby, all that I can get my hands on and any way I can get it.

Now stick to his tail.

Come on out with your hands up!

I thought you were wounded.

And I thought you were an honest cop.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Then I'll make it simple for you.

You've been jumping burglary calls and filling your pockets.

Nobody can prove that.

I can.

One little missing button found at the scene of last night's robbery.

Sent anonymously to the district attorney, You got the button?

Shut up!

It doesn't mean a thing.

Maybe.

You want to take the chance?

What do you want from us?

Stop your operation until someone can figure out that the Green Hornet isn't involved in your little scheme.

And if we don't?

You try me, Clark.

Just try me.

You think it will stop them?

I hope so.

At least long enough to keep them from swallowing the bait that Mike planted in the paper.

Unit 48.

Warehouse at 365 Ashland.

459, silent.

Let's roll.

Are you crazy?

You want to buck the Green Hornet?

He said we were two bad operators, didn't he?

When he was robbed, he was right.

But this time it's different.

There was a story in the papers.

The warehouse is loaded with furs.

You're pushing it too hard, bud.

Maybe you're right.

All right, suppose I say that this is the last time.

It's the biggest, but the last.

There it is, just like the newspaper said.

Let's load them.

All right, you.

Come on down.

We're police officers.

What do we do now?

Intercept car 48, tell him I'm in here and I've got the burglar cornered.

Tell him what he saw.

He's got a picture.

By the time they get here, he won't be able to talk and he won't have any pictures.

All right, move out.

You better get back to the car and take it easy.

I'll go in alone.

There's two of them in there, both of them with guns.

I'll go in this way.

You go around the other side.

You sure you're all right?

Fine.

All right, let's go.

Thank you.

Mr. Reed asked that I express his regret at not being able to attend this function today, but the press of press business is...

quite pressing.

He also asked that I extend his heartiest appreciation to Mr. Thornton Richardson of the Richardson Galleries, without whose guidance this exhibit could not have been possible.

Rembrandt, Degas, Picasso, Rewalt.

Names of men present and past.

Names of men present and past who have given us a priceless heritage.

Paintings from national museums, famous galleries, loaned by private collectors.

Put up your hands.

Line up against the wall.

Move!

All right, guys, go to work.

Take care of that television camera.

Get me the police.

Hurry.

Check the scanner.

Check.

Hornet gun.

Check.

Hornet sting.

Check.

Let's roll, Kato.

Check.

Check.

Aren't you taking a big chance?

There must be a guard on him in the hospital.

Undoubtedly.

And I'll have to get past him.

And hope you can get the prisoner to talk.

He won't talk for the police.

But maybe the Green Hornet can convince him it's the right thing to do.

Put it on the bed.

Sorry, buddy.

Nobody's allowed in there.

I was too late.

They got him with the laser.

Have you noticed anything unusual around here?

Nothing.

Look.

Silence and dart.

And hope he's not rushing to the airport to catch a plane.

My good friend and co-sponsor, Thornton Richardson.

He's behind this.

How did it go?

Beautiful.

Close.

You weren't followed, were you?

I was away before anyone knew what happened.

Better play safe.

You two go outside and make certain.

No answer.

Green's house.

Watch the door.

What are you doing here?

What do you want with us?

I've taken a sudden interest in art.

I didn't think you bothered to buy anything.

I'm not interested in buying.

Well, if you're here to steal, help yourself.

You underrate me, Richardson.

I came to cut myself a piece of cake.

I don't think I quite understand.

A million and a half worth of masterpieces.

Currently on the market for the discount price of one million.

Were you at Reed's apartment this afternoon?

Possibly.

And we beat you to the paintings.

Exactly.

That's why I'm here.

You don't think we'd be foolish enough to have them here?

I just want my cut of the money.

That's ridiculous.

I've been planning this too long to just give it away.

I only want half.

Do you see that empty frame?

Before long, it'll contain one million dollars worth of Rembrandt.

If Reed pays.

He will.

I set him up perfectly.

With every step falling into place.

Every step but one.

You now have a partner.

What if I refuse?

Then that frame might contain a portrait of you.

Etched in black.

I'll be in touch.

When Reed pays.

Thanks.

What are you going to do about him?

He doesn't frighten me.

Nobody's ever beaten him.

But nobody's ever used a laser beam against him.

He tries to interfere, it'll be his portrait in that frame.

Etched in black.

Red Reed.

Good evening, Mr. Reed.

This is your friend again.

Do you have the money?

Not yet.

It takes time to gather a million dollars in cash.

Well, time is something you haven't got much of.

Your deadline is 10 o'clock tomorrow night.

Now listen.

You listen, Reed.

I'll never be no stalling.

Be at your office tomorrow night with the money.

Or the paintings get fed to the laser.

And...

be sure and have Miss Case there with you.

Miss Case, what does she have to do with this?

Well, she's going to make delivery.

Just to assure us you don't try any tricks.

Now, wait a minute.

10 tomorrow night.

You sent for me, Mr. Reed?

Yes, I did, Doctor.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

I have a question for you, apropos of our headline story of yesterday.

As science editor of the Daily Sentinel, if you had to face a laser beam, what would you use for protection?

Well, as far as I know, there is no protection.

It concentrates such a high volume of heat that...

Wait a minute.

There is a highly classified liquid that's used to coat the heat shields of our space capsules for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

It's manufactured by a local firm.

Do you know the firm?

No, sir, but I can find out.

Do that.

Yes, sir.

Here it is, Brett.

I had to tell some lies to get it, and I hope it works.

Thanks, Frank.

So do we.

Spray it on the Black Beauty, evenly.

One uncovered area, and we've had it.

We only have 30 or 40 seconds, as it is.

Would that be enough time?

It has to be.

One billion dollars in cash.

I never thought I'd see that.

Much less be delivering it.

Play it cool, huh?

That's going to be your problem.

Here's your direction finder.

Keep it well hidden.

We won't have visual contact, so whatever you do, don't lose it.

As for after 10 o'clock, I wonder what they're up to.

Red Reed?

Here's the plan, Mr. Reed.

In five minutes, a cab will pull up in front of the Sentinel building.

Miss Case will get into it.

The cab driver has his instructions.

No harm will come to her?

We don't want to kill, but we will if we have to.

They've stopped.

It's registering 8-0.

It can't be more than 200 yards away.

This is where you change cars, Miss Case.

Something's happened to the transmitter.

Excuse me.

I'll take this.

Stay here and make sure we're not followed.

Right.

Come on, get in.

Activate the scanner, Kato.

They've switched cars.

That's the one we followed to Richardson's.

They're about half a mile ahead.

Follow them, not too closely, and run silent.

Green Hornet following Steve.

Repeat, Green Hornet following Steve.

I hear you.

We'll take care of it.

You wouldn't believe me.

Get the laser beam ready.

He drove into the runoff fighter, Kato.

That tunnel leads to the pumping station.

Not much room to tuck the laser beam in there.

Make sure it's not Steve you burn.

He's got a million dollars that I've got plans for.

He used a rocket, not with Casey on the receiving end.

Come on.

A car coming with headlights.

Steve, put them through.

Welcome, Miss Case.

Thanks.

Another car coming.

It's the Hornet.

Let's give him a warm welcome.

They've triggered the laser beam.

I can feel it.

They're still coming.

Maximum strength.

I can't hold my speed.

You can't slow down now.

Keep going.

All right.

All right.

Regison, look out.

When I'm gone, nobody will find me.

So you just relax and take it easy, you know.

Goodbye, Mr. Tubbs.

Doesn't tell us much.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Run the tape back to the beginning.

Slow it down.

There's a possibility.

Yeah, but nobody said anything.

The telephone dial did.

Let's start from the top again.

Look.

This is the Green Hornet.

I want to talk.

I got nothing talking to do.

What will we do?

Let's get him to the hospital.

Somewhere aboard, there's two million dollars worth of narcotics.

And he's the only one that knows exactly where.

Things look normal enough.

But Dr. Thomas.

May I speak to the resident doctor, please?

I'm the resident.

I'm the resident.

I have a man here that needs some help.

You know, I thought you were invented by someone.

For kicks.

You are the Green Hornet.

But not for kicks, doctor.

How did it happen?

He fell.

Will he live?

I don't know.

It looks like a concussion.

Miss Christie, have Nurse Grayson meet me in emergency.

And then call the police.

His name is Gus Wander.

I'm sure the police will want to know that.

The police.

A specialty of the house.

Just as smooth as velvet.

Come, be my guest.

Where do you get your supply?

You believe everything you hear on TV.

Where do you get your supply?

You want me to get my head chopped off?

I can protect you from them.

But they can't protect you from me.

Some choice.

Your supply?

Well, they call me.

How do they know when you need a shipment?

Well, they don't.

I have to pick up and pay for the deliveries.

When is your next pickup?

Well, I...

They don't tell...

When?

Tomorrow.

Where?

Different places.

What time do they call and tell you?

Three o'clock.

Don't try anything brave, friend.

Don't worry.

I'm a born coward.

We got a fortune riding on a deal and you're watching Batman?

That must be Wander.

Well, find out, stupid.

Wander?

No, it's Wolf.

Let me in.

Where's Wander?

I'm asking you.

He was supposed to be here a half an hour ago.

Has he called or anything?

No, he hasn't called or anything.

We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin.

Only moments ago, the Green Hornet delivered a badly injured man to the Claiborne Hospital.

He was identified as Gus Wander, a transient.

Wander remains in a deep coma and under police guard.

The Hornet was not, repeat, not apprehended.

Further bulletins as the news develops.

I want Wander.

Get up.

Fred.

I heard the police bulletins in the car.

Where'd you ever find Wander?

The last I heard, he was out of the country.

The Sentinel's Far East Bureau sent me on to him.

They got a tip that two million in narcotics was leaving Hong Kong, destination USA.

And Wander was in on it?

Up to his ears.

He sailed as an ordinary seaman aboard the freighter, Sally Bell.

Why didn't you tell me?

I would have had him picked up.

Because the Sally Bell didn't make it.

She was caught in a typhoon, abandoned by all hands.

She was picked up for salvage.

That's where she is now.

Well, then the narcotics must still be aboard.

Exactly.

But there are a thousand hiding places.

Wander's the only one that knows where.

If he lives.

I'll do what I can in that direction.

Here's the hospital number.

Thank you.

Hello.

This is the district attorney.

Let me speak with the officer guarding Gus Wander, please.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

This is Officer Carmichael.

Will you find out if Gus Wander can be moved?

I'll have to ask Dr. Thomas.

I'll ring her.

Dr. Thomas doesn't answer, sir.

I'll go back and check with her.

Get over here.

Something's going on.

I don't know what.

If you harm the girl, I won't go with you.

Now, look.

Don't mean that.

And if the man is to live, you need me.

Maybe you're right.

I'd leave her alone.

Let's get these two out of here.

Operator.

Operator, this is an emergency.

Get me the police.

Sergeant, this is the district attorney.

I want you to send some units over to the Claiborne Hospital.

In a hurry.

And so does the city.

Yeah.

There's been an assault and a kidnapping.

Right.

I'd better get right over there.

Why, Frank?

To pick up the pieces?

What do we do?

Well, the first thing we have to do is figure out why somebody would want Wander enough to pull a stunt like this.

Two million in narcotics, that's a lot of money.

All right, doctor.

Use that bag.

For what purpose?

He's in a coma.

Then bring him out of it.

I want him to talk.

Now, doctor.

Check it.

Who is it?

The Green Hornet.

I've got a proposition for Sheldon.

All right, tell him to come on up.

Come on up.

Is that any way to greet a future business associate?

Well, what are you, some kind of magician?

It's a lot more practical than that, Sheldon.

There's a freight elevator that comes to this floor, too.

The door was locked, but it wasn't as well covered as this one.

Shall we get down to business?

I've got no business with you.

Not yet.

But you will have.

Two million in narcotics.

Well, you've got the wrong party, Mr. Hornet.

Oh?

Well, let's get down to business, Sheldon.

Then I guess it's just a paternal interest you have in Gus Wander.

How is he, doctor?

Not good.

Then that leaves it entirely up to me.

Meaning?

Wander's the only one that knows exactly where the shipment is.

I know the approximate location.

That's a lot more than you do.

But if you're not interested...

Okay.

You're calling the shots.

How do we move?

We'll get Wander close to the stuff.

See if the doctor can bring him around.

It'll save a lot of time.

You can follow me.

Right.

Get Wander and the doctor down to your car.

Just a minute.

We'll split them up.

If they're a winning combination, we'll both have half.

What's the matter, Mr. Hornet?

Don't you trust me?

Only as far as I can see you, Sheldon.

And no farther.

I don't understand you, Bert.

Why can't you let the Green Hornet cut the action?

There's no action to cut yet.

If there is, I'll...

I'll hedge the bet.

Mobile operator.

Connect me to 555-7766.

What are you doing?

This looks like it.

I'm hedging on my bet, like I said I would.

Honey boy?

I got a job for you, honey boy.

I got a job for you, honey boy.

That would have kept him under for hours.

Painlessly.

And maybe giving him a chance to live, he doesn't deserve.

What do we do?

Wait.

Maybe he'll come around again.

Harlow, get her out on the deck.

She bugs me.

Gus, you've got to tell me where the shipment is.

We don't have much time to get you and Id off the ship.

Behind the firewall in the engine room.

But how do we tell where, Gus?

We can't take you down there with us.

Half a dozen incense.

Paint it over.

Are you through with him, Selden?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I got all I need.

Then we'll take care of him and the doctor.

We'll meet you in the engine room.

All right.

Let's go.

According to plan, we have five minutes to get out of here after I signal Scanlon.

We're going to make our move in about five minutes.

Our target is a freighter named Sally Bell.

Doctor, you either come with us willingly or you'll be carried.

This is the place.

What's that?

That's Honey Boy.

Just keep on working on those screws.

Two minutes.

One man.

I've got him spotted.

So do I.

He's over by those crates.

I'll get him.

No too much open ground.

Yeah, but we were running all the time.

What's going on here?

Honey boy's making sure it's all ours, too.

Come on, let's get out of here.

All right, get out.

A little bit to the left.

That's it.

You could have gotten away, you know.

I know.

I would have offered you a ride home, but I suppose you'd feel safer with the police.

Not necessarily.
