Hello, Stevens. You still working?

Everyone else has gone home.

I won't be long, Brady.

Here's the all-important file.

Uh-huh. I'll put it away.

Well, a pleasant weekend and the best of luck with the big show on Monday.

Thank you.

You're going to give some people the shock of their lives.

You think so?

I'm certain of it.

You'll stagger the minister on Monday.

In fact, you'll stagger the whole world.

Brady, I... What is it?

Oh, nothing.

Well, congratulations again.

Oh, uh, don't overdo the work, huh?

mr brady morning george i better check you carefully this morning sir okay but

i'm pretty late oh that's all right mr brady i've got a message for you from mr

wade will you go to the conference room as quickly as you can is the minister

here already yes but that's not the trouble there's no sign of dr stevens

what's that

And hurry, this is urgent.

Brady, am I glad to see you. What's this about Stevens? He hasn't turned up. But

he's giving this demonstration.

Maybe, but he's not here.

Have you phoned his daughter?

They're getting through now.

This has really put us in a spot. The minister himself's here, waiting.

Listen, Brady, you helped Stevens with a lot of his work, didn't you? Yes, but I

don't know anything about his processes.

But you know how his equipment works.

You could do some talking and maybe show the minister a trick or two.

Well, I could, but I... That's what you'll have to do.

We've got to keep him quiet till Stevens turns up.

Here he is. Mr. Wade, our chief executive officer.

Good morning, Mr. Minister. Good of you to be so prompt.

Not at all. Couldn't wait.

Fascinated. I expect you've heard of Mr. Brady?

The invisible man. Who hasn't?

National figure.

How do you do? Mr. Brady's going to carry out the demonstration for us. This

way, please, gentlemen.

Well,

gentlemen, I'll start with the conclusions of five years' research by

Dr. Stevens.

Physicists have long known that...

If the secrets of electromagnetism could be solved, many questions about the

universe will be answered.

This is called the unified field theory because magnetism

and gravity

are part of the same mystery.

Here at Castle Hill, we believe that we've solved the mystery.

What you're about to see is the greatest discovery since the atom was ripped

apart.

Thank you.

Now watch very carefully, gentlemen.

What a fantastic discovery.

Benefits could be enormous.

In the right hands.

I see what you mean.

Excuse me, Mr. Wade. Mrs. Stevens' daughter has arrived. She is very

distressed. She wants to speak to Mr. Brady.

Ask her to wait in public relations, will you? Mr. Brady will see her there

as soon as possible.

Well, gentlemen, the second stage of this demonstration takes us a little

further.

Oh, Peter, thank goodness you're here. Hello, Pat.

Oh, what's happened to Father? I haven't seen him since Friday.

Oh, I thought he must be with you, as he usually is when he's working very hard.

I'm worried, Mr Brady.

I fear it's my fault.

Oh, this is Mr Wilson. He's a friend of Father's. Oh.

Your fault?

Well, I've been seeing a lot of Dr Stevens lately.

As you may know, I'm the secretary of a world peace organization.

As such, we discuss the dangerous implications of his work.

I don't follow.

Well, you see, this principle of... Anti-gravity. It could be applied in the

development of a weapon of war.

A weapon which could threaten the world.

Believe me, Mr. Wilson, Stevens is concerned only with basic scientific

research. Well, I believe that the effect of his discoveries could be

devastating to mankind. It could be used for murder on a vast scale.

Did you speak this way to Stevens?

Of course.

Brady.

You and Stevens used the same file for this work, didn't you?

That's right. This it?

Yeah. And perhaps you can tell me what's happened to the contents.

What's the matter?

Your father's disappeared, Miss Stevens, and all the papers relating to his work

have disappeared with him.

Put me through to security.

Well, he's vanished, all right.

He's taken all the papers by the look of things. It couldn't be better. It could

be better. You've got to cut hold of him.

Just think of all the time I spent working on Stevens, arguing with him,

coaxing, preaching.

The moment he's ripe, you let him go.

I wonder where he's hiding.

Don't worry. You know Stevens.

He won't leave London.

Hey!

Dr. Stevens!

So there's still no news, Peter.

No. Another false report.

You've just got to be patient, Pat. But it's a week since he vanished.

He must be ill.

Hello? Yeah.

Where was this?

Well, take a look.

Well, where's he supposed to have been seen now?

Covent Garden.

Covent Garden?

Yeah. That's possible, Peter.

Whenever he's really upset about something, he goes to the ballet.

Could he be there in the afternoon?

There must be a matinee.

Yes, there is.

Tchaikovsky, his favorite.

Peter, this could be him.

Now, we must go to the theater and wait outside and then catch him as he comes

out. No, no, no.

We might miss him.

Look, I'm going invisible.

Then I can search the place while the show's on. You go and get your coat. Go

on.

Any idea where he'll be?

Whenever I've been with him, we've always had him in one of the first floor

boxes. Right. I'll take a look there first.

Wait for me here, Pat.

Okay.

Stevens. Oh,

I'm sorry.

Stevens.

It's me, Brady.

You had us worried.

What are you doing here? You've no right to follow me.

We just wanted to know what was wrong.

Nothing.

Why did you run away?

Leave me alone.

There's nothing wrong.

I'm sorry.

Steve, we only wanted to help you. I don't need any help. Will you please get

out? It's disgraceful. Stop that talking.

Steve, look.

If you won't go, I will.

God, Red, what is going on?

Confound you, Brendan. Let me go.

You can't walk out like this, Steve. What is the meaning of this behavior,

sir? Listen, Steve, you've got responsibilities.

I'm sick of my responsibilities.

I'm through with my own life.

Science has done enough damage.

I'll contribute no more to it.

Don't you understand, Steve?

You're a public trust.

Let me alone.

It's too dangerous for you to wander around.

You're valuable.

Let me live my own life, Brady.

And how about your daughter, Pat?

She's worried, Steve.

You haven't even phoned her to say you're alive.

I've got to think this thing out for myself, Brady.

Stop! Steve!

Stop!

Come back! Steve!

Come back, Steve! Don't be foolish!

Steve! Come back!

Hey! Stop that man!

Peter? Yeah.

Where's Father?

Sorry, Pat, I let him get away.

I think he'll get in touch with you.

We'll find you a taxi.

Get back home in case he phones you. In the meantime, I'll contact the police

and be around to see you as soon as I can.

Come on, let's go.

You know what to do, Searle.

Okay.

The file must be in here somewhere. We must find it before the girl gets back.

What have you done?

Leave it.

That's all.

In here, quick.

Hello?

Hello? Patricia?

Father. Oh, how wonderful.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm just tired. I had to get away, Patricia.

Away from my work.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before.

I'm sorry if I've upset you.

Oh, that doesn't matter.

I had to get things straight in my own mind. But it's going to be all right

now. I'll look after you. I'll take care of you.

No, Father, don't worry about me. Now, where are you?

Brady was right. I should have thought of you. No, Father, where are you?

No, no, of course I won't tell anybody else.

Number 10.

Yes. Where is Harrow Lane?

Yes. Yes, all right. Now, you stay right there.

Promise?

Stay there till I come round.

Right. Bye.

Don't move, Miss Stevens.

10 Harrow Lane, you said, I think.

Use your gun if you have to.

Ah!

You heard what the man said.

Patricia?

It's all right, Doctor. It's Wilson.

I want to congratulate you on what you've done.

It is a fine thing to have walked out on Brady and his friends.

What are you doing here?

Your knowledge is so vital, Doctor.

No single country should have it. It ought to be the property of the whole

world. Nobody's going to have it.

Oh, come, Doctor. You can trust our peace organization.

We promise to see that all powers shall have access to your secrets.

You talk cheap politics, Wilson.

I don't trust you any more than the others.

You must trust us.

The cause of peace demands an act of faith.

What have you done with those documents?

No, you don't. But I must.

People know that I'm here.

Okay.

Just remember, I'll be right behind you.

It's funny.

There's nobody there.

Hmm?

Shut the door.

I said shut the door!

What's the matter with you?

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Wipe that grin off your face.

Me?

Quick,

Peter. Father's at Number 10 Harrow Lane, and Mr. Wilson's gone there to get

him. I should have guessed that piece-racker was phony.

Come on.

Don't be foolish, Doctor.

You're on the run.

We're willing to give you a helping hand.

We?

I'm not alone.

I have a friend.

Equally ready to help.

Get out, both of you.

When you left the Castle Hill Laboratories, what did you do with your

papers? That's my business.

It's everybody's business. Invention like yours threatens the world.

That's why I didn't go on.

That's right, Doctor.

I just want to see your discovery doesn't get into the wrong hands.

It won't get into anyone's hands. I want the papers, Stevens.

You have no choice.

Don't keep Mr. Wilson waiting. I said no.

No. Talk.

No.

Don't waste time.

They must be here somewhere. Let's search the place.

Wilson's a phony.

He must be after your father's work on electromagnetism.

Nothing here.

Get up!

We know you didn't leave those documents at Castle Hill.

Where are they?

I see what you are now, Wilson.

Tell me where they are. I'll never tell you.

All right.

Go ahead.

I just hope we get there before Stevens runs into any trouble.

I think the doctor is ready to talk.

Now, where are those documents?

I burned them.

You burned them?

As a result of five years' work?

It was five years I wanted to forget.

Oh, but you can't have forgotten, Doctor.

You still remember? It's all in your mind.

You could write it all down for me, couldn't you?

You don't understand.

It is a detailed record.

Observations, calculations. It'd take weeks to put together.

I know where you'll have time.

It means an air trip.

Bring him along, Silvers. Take him to the airfield near Reading before Brady

has a chance to catch up with us.

Stop.

I just thought of a basic formula.

Write it down, then.

Keep your eyes open.

Can't be bothered.

I must have hit him too hard.

Why?

The guinea pig defies gravity at Woodley.

They've been here all right.

Peter, what's happened?

Hello?

Look at this.

Your father's writing.

The guinea pig defies gravity at Woodley.

Woodley's an airfield near Reading.

It doesn't make sense.

Yes, it does.

The guinea pig is your father. He's defying gravity.

That means he's flying from Reading.

Hello, operator.

Give me the police and put a call through to Woodley Airfield.

Drive straight to the plane.

There, there they are. Set tight.

I'm going to cut him off.

Our friend's getting off.

You were being followed.

Must be Brady.

Step on in.

Who mind if you're going to hit him?

That's the idea.

To the left!

Left! Look out!

You look after your father.

Sergeant, that man there.

I'll get you, Brady!

Give it up, Wilson.

What? And you a peace-loving man, eh?

Hello, Pat.

Oh, thank goodness you're safe, Father.

I'm sorry, my dear.

I'm terribly sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

All right, Wilson.

The game's up.

You'd better come with me.

Here's your man, Inspector. Thanks, Brady.

It is Mr. Brady, isn't it?

That's right.

I'm the one who should thank you, Brady.

Forget it, Steve.

All you want is a nice long holiday.

And you should take Pat with you.
