All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock - Saboteur (1942)

Here come the wolves.

Uh-oh. Bottleneck. Mr.
Roosevelt should hear of this.

I'm sorry. Hope you didn't hurt yourself.

My friend
says he's sorry.

Okay.

That shows what a blonde can
do to hold up national defense.

Nice, pleasant guy.

Man! Gee, a hundred bucks.

So that's
what they look like.

Where'd he go? I don't know. Uh...

I wonder
what his name is.

I saw it on the envelope.
Uh... Fry. That's it. Fry.

Fry.

How do you
know my name?

What do you care
how I know your name?

I saw it on one of the
envelopes you dropped.

Here's something
that belongs to you.

The paint shop! It'll go up like
dynamite! Here. Take this one.

What about me? Don't I get
to play too? You get another.

Right!

So I see these two kids. And I yell
at them, "The sprinklers are busted.

The whole shootin' match
will go up."

And they run right in,
the both of them.

And the last thing I saw
when I looked back...

was one kid give the
extinguisher to the other kid,

and then it was just like
all hell comes up.

That's all I see. Was
there anybody else around?

No. Just the two kids:

the poor kid with the extinguisher
and the one who give it to him.

Thank you, Rogers. We
appreciate all you've done.

We needn't keep you any longer
now. Take care of those hands.

Who've
you got next?

There's a fellow Barry Kane
waiting. Send Barry Kane in.

Barry Kane!

All right. Just take it easy. We only
want to ask you a couple of questions.

A routine checkup. Well, I want
to do anything I can to help.

Sure. Now, suppose you tell us
where you were when the fire started.

Well, I was one of the first to rush in.
The sprinkler systems weren't working.

Who else was with you?

There was just myself, a fellow
named Fry and my friend...

Ken Mason.

Go on. Fry handed me an extinguisher,

and I started running
toward the fire.

I gave it to Ken.

And then he...

Okay. Take it easy.
That's all.

Just stick around for a
while. We may need you.

Send for Fry.

Get hold of a fellow
called Fry.

What'd they do, ask you a lot of questions?

Hardly any. Gee, it's awful tough going,

seeing it happen
in front of you.

Yeah, it is tough. Ken Mason
was your pal, too, wasn't he?

Yeah.

Was he married? No. He
was living with his mother.

Must be pretty tough
on her.

Sorry, fellows.
I'll see you later.

Hello, Mrs. Mason.

They... They wouldn't
let me see him.

It's awful hard to believe.
It happened so quick.

Why, only this morning... Please!

Please don't
talk about it now.

Anything I can do? Could
I get you something?

No. No, thank you.
Not now.

Maybe some brandy.

How is the poor,
dear soul?

If you mean Mrs. Mason,
she's feeling bad.

Ah, well.
She's every reason to.

Do you know what? They
wouldn't even let her see him.

Her only son.
Yes, I know.

I told her to insist
on seeing him.

I told her I would, and she
as good as told me to get out!

Me! That was only tryin' to
help. The poor, dear soul.

I think you can help,
if you'll get some brandy.

You come with me, young man.
I have a little in the house.

Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Mason,
but we're looking for Barry Kane.

Do you know him? He isn't
here right now, is he?

They told us at the plant we
might be able to find him here.

Well... what do you
want to see him about?

He's in pretty bad trouble,
lady. What? I'd like to know.

He was mixed up with
that fire at the factory.

I... I don't understand.

There are a lot of things
we don't understand either.

But how is Barry
involved in it?

That fire extinguisher. Seems
it wasn't just an accident.

It turns out that the extinguisher
Barry Kane handed your son...

was filled with gasoline. Oh!

You ought to be able to help us.
Give us a lead on this guy Kane.

Yeah. That's why we want
to look around. Well...

Why...

I can't talk about it now. I...

Yeah. Sorry, but,
you see, there was...

I wouldn't give her too much of
that. It often makes people weepy.

I know it affects me...
Yes, I've got to hurry back.

Thank you very much.

Try some of this, Mrs. Mason.
It'll make you feel better.

There were two detectives
just here.

They were looking for you. For me?

I guess they wanted to ask
more questions. I said I'd help.

Here. Try this. No. That wasn't it.

They wanted to arrest you.

They said that the fire extinguisher
that you handed to Kenneth...

was filled with gasoline.

That you killed him.

That I killed...

Why, are they crazy? Why
would I want to do a thing...

Ken was my best friend! Haven't they
talked to Fry about the extinguisher?

They said that there was no
such man employed at the plant.

Why, I saw him!
I saw him twice!

Ken saw him too!
He was with us at the fire.

He handed me the extinguisher. Ken
said, "Don't I get to play too?"

He was kidding.
I handed it to him.

Fry was right there with us,
I'm sure!

Why, he must have known
there was gasoline in it.

He must have known! He stood right
there with us and watched, that...

Please go.

Don't you believe me?

Do you think I had
something to do with this?

I didn't tell the police
anything.

Oh, I don't know!

It's all so confused
and so terrible.

I don't know what they're talking about!
Why don't they get this fellow Fry?

You'd better go.

All right. I'll go.

I've got to find Fry,

or Ken won't be the last one
to die.

I saw him go in
the back way.

Catchy.

What? That tune you're whistling.

Oh, I didn't even know I was
whistling. You must be pretty happy.

Easy to see there's
nothin' on your mind.

Oops. That must have been
Junior. Felt like him.

Junior?
Yeah, that rock.

I know every one from Los Angeles to Reno.

Tough job, driving a truck.
Got any other hot news tonight?

I never realized
how tough it was before.

The tough part, you can take that.
It's the monotony that gets you.

I been thinking I'm gonna get out
of this trucking game. Why don't you?

One of the neighbors told my wife
it's stylish to eat three meals a day.

- You married?
- Nope.

Go ahead and whistle.

That thing bother you? What's doin' it?

Here. Stick this wad of
paper in there, will you?

It's a pretty good thing to have
around, one of these extinguishers.

I wouldn't be without one.
Now, take the other day.

A big truck turns over
right down here.

The gasoline catches, and
she goes up like a matchbox.

A friend of the driver's
gets caught in her.

If the driver hadn't had an extinguisher,
his pal would have been fried alive.

I didn't see it happen. I
never see anything happen.

I don't even hear about anything, except
when my wife tells me the moving pictures.

That's the way she spends the
money: moving pictures and new hats.

Buys a hat so she can go to the
picture show so she can take it off.

No, sir. I haven't got
anything to whistle about.

Where are you from,
bud?

Uh, Los Angeles. Tough. You work down there?

Yeah. Well, I did. What doin'?

I was workin' in an airplane
factory. They say that's pretty good.

I was wondering why you
weren't in the army. Yeah.

They're particular about the fellows
they hire in those defense plants.

That's no more than right. They gotta
be careful they don't get blown up.

Yeah. I understand if a fellow
had any police record, no job.

Is that right?
Oh, I don't know.

Hey, buddy. Hold the wheel a while,
will you, while I animate this thing.

I'm a nicotine addict.

Hey, watch it, bud! Stay on
this side of the white line.

Where do you wanna get off
when we get to Springville?

It doesn't matter. Drop
me in the middle of town.

The minute you get to Springville,
you're in the middle of the town.

The next minute,
the place is a memory.

Whole town
isn't a city block long.

You're goin' to one of those
big ranches outside, aren't you?

- Yeah. - I'd be glad to drop
you off at whatever one you want.

That's it!
Deep Springs Ranch.

Hey! Say, that's
a whale of a big place.

Got a chance
of a job there?

Yeah.
I think so.

You ought to like it.
Nice climate.

The police! Maybe
something's happened!

I'd like to talk with you
out here. Yeah. Sure, officer!

Stay here.
I'll be right back.

Hey, bud!
Come on. Everything's fixed.

Good night, Officer.

Can you imagine
a thing like that?

Cop, sirens, the whole works!
One of my taillights went out.

That's the trucking game
for you in a nutshell.

Calling all highway patrolmen.

Be on lookout
for a man named Barry Kane.

Last seen on Highway 99. He
has dark brown hair, blue eyes,

height about six feet two,
no hat, around 25 years old.

Calling all highway patrolmen.
Calling all highway patrolmen.

How do you do? Is, uh,
Mr. Frank Fry here?

No, this is
Mr. Tobin's ranch.

Oh. Uh, could I
speak to Mr. Tobin?

Well, I'll see.
Just a minute.

You wait here, please.

There.
We've got the ball.

Throw it to me. A young man to see you, sir.

Throw it to me.
Where is Daddy's girl?

What did you say, Adele?

Who wants to see me? A young man,
sir. He came to ask for a Mr. Fry.

Oh.

Well. Have him come out here,
will you?

Yes, sir. Throw me the
ball. Throw me the ball.

Here comes your granddaddy.

Mr. Tobin will see you.
Follow me, please. Thank you.

Want the ball?

How do you do?
I'm Charles Tobin.

This is my daughter,
Mrs. Brown. How do you do?

Well, I'm not gonna ask you to excuse
the informality of this costume.

We're all informal out here
at Deep Springs Ranch.

That's one of the rules.
I see.

Want me to take Suzy
with me?

No, Suzy isn't gonna
disturb us at all.

Just let her play right here. I'll
see she doesn't fall in the pool.

All right.

Well, shall we sit out here? Yes, sir.

It seems a shame to go indoors
on such a beautiful day.

Yes, it does. You wanted
to see me about something?

Yes, sir. I'm looking for
a man named Fry. Frank Fry.

I met him up in Los Angeles.
I understand he lives here.

Oh, no. No.
Fry, huh?

Frank Fry. I'm afraid I don't
know anybody by that name.

Wait a minute.
Fry.

I've heard that name
somewhere.

I just don't seem
to be able to place it.

Uh-huh. Uh, there used to be a fellow...

with a name something like
that, worked around here.

No. No.
It wasn't Fry.

Well, I'm afraid you
found the wrong address.

Well, it couldn't be one of the
cowhands or somebody who's working?

No, I know the names
of all my men.

Wait a minute.
My next door neighbor...

"Next door neighbor." He
lives 20 miles from here!

But he may know.
I'll telephone him.

Oh, no, please don't. No, no! You look
as though you've had a hard journey.

Too bad if you came all
this way for nothing.

If you'll just wait,
we can find out.

Will you see that Suzy
doesn't fall into the pool?

Yes, sir.
Thank you.

Hey. Come here.

Come over here.

Oh, so you're a ball player,
are you? Throw me the ball.

Let me have it.
Come on. Throw me the ball.

Throw me the other one.
Come on.

Throw it to me.
Come on.

Give me the ball.

That's fine. Fine!
Now, I'll throw it back.

Where are you goin'?
Uh-oh. Don't do that.

Leave those where they are.
Leave them right there.

Wanna be a good girl? Put
these back where you found them.

No, no, Suzy. The gentleman says
put them back where you found them.

The gentleman knows that you must be careful
with letters that don't belong to you.

Probably I'm prejudiced,
but it seems to me...

that Suzy is a pretty cute
young lady.

Yeah, she's great.

Where's Frank Fry?

Really, you must do something
about that memory of yours.

It wasn't a minute ago that you
read a telegram that Fry sent me,

and it said that he was
on his way to Soda City.

Don't you remember that? Where's Soda City?

Well, I haven't given it much
thought, but I wouldn't imagine...

there'd be an overabundance
of Soda Cities on the map.

You could find out some way...
bringing you last-minute headlines.

Los Angeles: The fire in the Stewart
Aircraft Works in which one man was killed,

many injured and half a million
dollars' worth of damage caused,

has been definitely
set down to sabotage.

Police have traced the incendiary
blaze to Barry Kane, former...

Don't want any more
of that.

Think you'd be rather bored with
the descriptions of yourself.

Or maybe you never get tired of
them. Well, I am by this time.

I've been listening to those reports
all morning. You knew me. What about it?

Oh, quite a lot about it, Mr.
Kane. You ought to know that.

You've become too famous
to remain so modest.

Tell me one thing. Why are
you covering up Frank Fry?

What's a man like you
in this for?

Young man, I don't know what you're
talking about. I think maybe you do!

Frank Fry is a saboteur who doesn't
mind killing Americans for money.

You must watch yourself,
Mr. Kane!

I'm telling you this
for your own benefit, but

you have the makings of an outstanding bore.

You can't get away with this. Even
if I don't stop you, others will.

A man like you can't last
in a country like this.

Very pretty speech. Youthful,
passionate, idealistic.

You see, I've already
sent for the police.

You can't bluff me. You're
hooked, and you know it.

Must I remind you that you
are the fugitive and not I?

I'm a prominent citizen,
widely respected.

You are an obscure
young workman...

wanted for the committing of
an extremely unpopular crime.

Which of us do you think
the police will believe? Hmm?

Oh, you must think me
a very poor host, Mr. Kane.

Now, don't you feel that a
long, cold drink is indicated?

I found out everything
you're gonna tell me.

I'll have to do the rest by
myself. You wish to leave us?

Adele, Adele!
Mr. Kane is going!

I'm sorry.
You'll stop, please.

What does that shoot?
Water? Bullets, I'm afraid.

You shouldn't be so anxious to
leave us. You'll hurt our feelings.

You make it very hard for me
to refuse your invitations.

- Suzy, come on.
- No, no, Suzy! Come here.

Hello, Suzy.
You know where we're going?

For a piggyback ride.
You like piggyback rides?

Dick, Joe!
Get after him!

Hurry up! Get him!
Get after him! Hurry up!

Come on. Get going. You
can't take me away like this.

Don't tell us what we can't
do, chum. Go on. Get started!

You gotta get him! Just
because he's got a big ranch...

and a fancy pool doesn't
mean he's a nice guy!

Find out the things he's been
doing! Sure. We know all about that.

Just come on along. The
baby had the letters!

Oh, Suzy would be only
too glad to cooperate,

but it'll be months before
she'll be of any assistance.

No, no, Suzy.

Those are not for Suzy.
Those are for the gentleman.

All right, let's go.

Where are we goin'? We're gonna let
you get an idea of the county jail.

You won't find it
the best in the West.

But it won't hurt you 'til they
come up from Los Angeles for you.

You can't hold me without a warrant. Chum.

Do I have to keep askin' you
not to tell us what we can't do?

I'm tryin' to explain!
There isn't time!

Time's the one thing
you don't need to worry about.

You'll have it to burn.

You'll have 20 years,
if you get the right lawyer.

If you don't, you'll
have all the time there is.

- What's wrong? What's holding us up?
- Truck blockin' the road.

Looks like they're
changin' a tire.

Got a cigarette?

Sure. All you want.

Hiya, bud!
Hey, what's the matter?

He went
behind those rocks!

Not over here!

There he goes!

There he is!

Hello there.

Hello. I got caught in this
storm. I'm pretty wet, I'm afraid.

Maybe you'd like to come
inside and get dry.

Did you leave your car down on
the road? Put it in the shed.

It won't do it any good standing
in the rain. I don't have any car.

You might say
I'm traveling by thumb.

By thumb?
Yeah, I'm a hitchhiker.

Oh, I see.

I've always thought that was the
best way to learn about this country,

and the surest test
of the American heart.

Yes, I guess it is. Will you go
to the fire and dry your clothes?

Thanks. They'd dry more quickly
if you put on something of mine.

Oh, no, thanks!
This is fine.

We could do with another log
on the fire. Would you?

Why, sure. You must stay
until this blows over.

It won't detain you long.
These autumn storms are short.

They yield to none in wetness,
but they are short. Yes, I...

I should have warned you. Those
logs are heavier than you'd think.

I drop them constantly.

Yes, they are heavy.

I guess I was too smart trying
to pick it up with one hand.

Good job it didn't land on your
foot. That often happens to me.

You're lucky.

Yeah.
I'm lucky.

Oh, I was forgetting.
My name is Philip Martin.

Oh, I'm Barry K...
Mason.

I'm glad you found yourself near
here, Mr. Mason, when the storm came.

It's a pleasant thing
to have a guest sharing

the fire when the rain
is beating on the roof.

- You live here alone, sir? - Yes,
except I don't think of it in that way.

You see, sounds are my lights
and my colors.

My music, for example.
I compose a little.

And there is nobody to tell me that
the results are anything but brilliant,

so I live in a comfortable glow
of self-appreciation.

I prefer playing the works
of other composers.

Undoubtedly,
you'd prefer listening to them.

I used to play the triangle in our
high school band a long time ago.

Oh, that's too bad.

It's unfortunate when you get
out of practice on the triangle.

The piano is a boon to me.

The piano can't know
that you're blind,

so it doesn't embarrass you by
trying to make things easier for you.

It does you the compliment
to trust you.

Delius, the British composer,
was blind too.

That's our only resemblance.

This is his
"Summer Night on the River."

A very interesting effect:
obligato on an apple.

Oh, I apologize, Mr. Mason.

I forgot how hungry you
must be after your long walk.

Just a moment. I'll get
something. Oh, no. Thanks.

This is fine. I...
I like apples.

So do I. We'll save them
for dessert.

It was all ready,
you see.

All I needed was a reminder
that I was hungry too.

Are you dry enough?
Just about, sir.

It stopped raining.

Is that a car coming?

Two cars, I think.

Excuse me.

One car is my niece's. I'd
know that motor anywhere.

The other is a stranger
to me. A couple of men.

The girl's pointing down the road.
They must have asked her where to go.

This is an easy country to lose your
way in. That's one of its charms.

They're starting off
down the road now.

The girl's coming. That's my
niece. She's been staying with me.

She comes from New York to
spend a month with me every year.

It's one of my greatest pleasures.
Unhappily for me, she can't stay longer.

After a month,
she finds the quiet deafening.

Uncle Philip.
Hello, old boy.

Uncle Philip, what do you
think happened? Oh.

You didn't know we had a guest. You
turned your back, and see what happens.

My niece, Patricia Martin, Mr. Mason.

How do you do?
How do you do?

Uncle Philip, there was a car
full of detectives down the road.

They wanted to know
the way to town.

They're searching for a man. It was on all
the radios. A really dangerous criminal...

My dear, the police
are always on the alarmist side.

- But they said this man is really
dangerous! - I'm sure they did.

How could they be heroes
if he were harmless?

Would you mind not having any
further quotations from the police?

Their remarks are always so
expected. They kill conversation.

You've probably seen the face
of my niece before, Mr. Mason.

Why, yes. I was wondering
where I'd seen...

As a matter of fact, you've
seen her practically everywhere.

I'm told that billboards she adorns
would reach across the continent...

if placed end to end.

I can't imagine who's going
to place them end to end,

nor why they should
consider it the thing to do.

Uncle Philip never has been
enthusiastic over my career as a model.

Relatives are like that.

My, aren't you two mean, going
ahead and eating without me!

I'm starving. Would you pass me one
of those plates, please, Mr. Mason?

- Oh! - What's the matter?
Have you just seen his handcuffs?

I heard them
as soon as he came in.

Uncle Philip, he must be
the man they're looking for.

Yes, very probably. But you should
have given him to the police!

Are you frightened, Pat? Is
that what makes you so cruel?

But you've got to!
He's a dangerous man.

Oh, Pat, come on,
Mr. Mason may be many things,

but he's certainly
not dangerous.

In fact, I'm not at all
convinced that he's guilty.

Uncle Philip, it's your
duty as an American citizen!

It is my duty
as a citizen...

to believe a man innocent
until he's been proved guilty.

Don't tell me about my duty.
It makes you sound so stuffy.

Besides, I have my own ideas
about my duties as a citizen.

They sometimes involve
disregarding the law.

But what are you
going to do with him?

I'm going to turn him over
to you, my dear.

And you're going to drive him
down to Tim, the blacksmith,

and have those preposterous
contraptions removed from his wrists.

Oh, how could I do
a thing like that?

'Cause you know I can see a
great deal farther than you can.

I can see intangible things.
For example, innocence.

Will you go with my niece,
Mr. Mason? Oh, yes, sir.

Uh, if you don't mind?

What'll I tell the blacksmith? Tell
him Mr. Mason is my friend and my guest.

He won't ask
any other questions.

Go ahead, Pat.

Go with her, Barry.
Barry, I know, is your name.

Your voice explained to me
that "Mason" isn't.

But as I told you before, names
are of such little importance.

I... I don't know how
to thank you, Mr. Martin.

Go ahead, Barry.
Go ahead.

And do the things
I wish I could do.

Good luck, Barry,
and for heaven's sake,

get back in practice
on that triangle!

Is the blacksmith's shop very
far? Not very. Right along here.

And, uh, is he...
Is he really all right?

He and my uncle are great friends. Oh.

I guess he's all right,
then.

You needn't worry.
He's all right.

He's a darling blacksmith, only I'm not sure
how much experience he's had with handcuffs.

Do you mind
if I see them?

I wonder...
I can't quite see.

Could you hold them
nearer?

Now I feel better.
I'll bet you do.

I'll bet this
makes you feel great.

The blacksmith shop is two miles
back. We're on our way to the police.

Your uncle's
gonna be proud of you!

The world isn't full of kind old
gentlemen. You're gonna find that out.

Even my uncle wouldn't have
been so kind if he'd known more.

All right, go ahead. What'd
I do? I'd be happy to know.

If it had been any other crime... if a
man had stolen because he was starving,

even committed murder to defend himself,
maybe I wouldn't tell the police.

But there's only one reason
why a man commits sabotage.

That's worse than murder. Surprise,
Miss Martin. I agree with every word.

Please don't talk to me.
That'll be my pleasure.

Well! I'll see
that she doesn't!

Never try driving
this way; it hurts.

I'm stopping
the first car I see!

Help! Come on. I can't
get along without you.

Let me go! Help!

Help!
Get the police!

Help!

My, they must be
terribly in love.

Looks as though this car
has been overheated.

Fan's broken.

I'm cold.

Yeah, I know. And you're
hungry. Now mostly I'm cold.

If you'd stop trying to be a
hero and decide to be on my side,

maybe we could do something
about your being cold.

Build a fire?

No, I wasn't exactly
thinking of that.

Well, I didn't want to
insult you by not even trying.

What do you want
to turn me in for?

Haven't you got your
picture in enough places now?

I just want to do my duty.
That's hard for you to understand.

Why won't you believe I'm all
right? You don't make sense.

If you hadn't done it, you
would have gone to the police.

It's a question of time! It'd
take weeks to convince them.

If they're as dumb as you
are, it'll take me months!

Do you think we're very far
from Soda City?

I don't know. We'll ask at the next town.

If there's a next town.

Anyway, I don't believe
that part about Tobin.

You don't believe it because
he's got a big ranch and a pool...

No. It's just hard to believe
that about any American.

Well, you believe it
about me!

Well, you're different.
You look like a saboteur.

You have a saboteur's
disposition.

Don't tell me you've
decided to be on my side.

No, I'm cold.

Say, aren't you wasting
your very valuable time,

sitting up here
admiring the scenery?

Hey, look at that.

Looks like
we've got company.

What do you suppose
all that's doing way up here?

They aren't moving very fast,
are they?

You know what
we can do?

Oh, no, you won't.

Sorry, I can't take a chance.

You're right. I'll kill you
the first opportunity I get.

Let go of me!

Let me go!
Ouch!

Help! Help!

Won't you give me one break?
Wait 'til we get to Soda City?

All right. I'm sorry I've
got to leave you here alone,

but I told you
what I've got to do.

There's only one thing I want
to warn you about. Snakes.

There are a lot out here. There's
only five or six poisonous kinds.

But there are a lot
of long, slippery, slimy ones.

- Barry! - I'm coming up in the
world; I'm better than the snakes.

Barry, please!
Are you with me?

Yes, yes!

What made you
change your mind?

I can't turn you in
if I'm stuck out there.

So that's it.
Go back with the reptiles.

Let me go!
Who's there?

You've got no right here!
Stop it and get off!

Now, now, Major.

Ah, stowaways.

In the middle of this desert sea,
we acquired two more vagabonds.

Bedouins like ourselves, eh, Esmeralda?
They're just a couple of kids!

Uh, our car broke down,
and we've walked for miles.

We hopped on. We didn't want
to wake you at this hour.

Broke down, eh? We didn't
pass no wrecks on the highway.

- Sounds like a pack of lies.
- We were off on a side road.

I know. A moonlight night
and a parked car. That's nice.

- Oh, no, really...
- Esmeralda! Everywhere you search for sex.

Get your eyes out of the mud
and look up at the stars.

Oh, I beg your pardon. My name is Bones.
I'm also known as the Human Skeleton.

- How do you do?
- And this is Esmeralda, our bearded lady.

Naturally, we're very proud to
have her as a member of our group.

You must be tired.
Come on in and rest.

We're trying to get to Soda City, a
couple hundred miles north, I think.

You won't get there 'til morning,
so make yourselves comfortable.

You must meet
our other coworker:

Titania,
our little human mountain.

A very great lady, indeed.

How do you do?
What's goes on there?

Oh, did we wake you?
Oh, I was awake.

I wish you'd tell Minnie
to do something about

that insomnia. I've
been tossing and turning.

Tell Marigold to shut
her silly old face.

Are you girls not speaking
to each other again?

Marigold's mad because I
got her beau away from her.

Kindly tell Minnie
I heard that last remark.

I wouldn't have the gentleman as
a gift. A common novelty seeker!

Girls! What
will our guests think?

Hey, he's cute! You hear
that? There she goes again.

Stop your squabbling.
They're tired.

- They've been walking for miles!
- Nobody gave you a lift.

The normal are normally
coldhearted. Get these tramps off!

A cold heart.

I won't take no insults.
Get 'em off.

Aw, Major, honey... Don't
"honey" me! I've got a contract.

It provides for safe transportation
and don't say nothing about hobos!

That's the police. They
must be looking for somebody.

Who could they want?

Me, I guess.

Oh!
They came for you.

He has handcuffs on.
What do they want you for?

- For something
somebody else did.

I don't believe he's done anything
wrong! I'll go to bat for him anytime.

I've always told Minnie she'd get mixed
up with the police if she wasn't careful.

They're starting to search
at the front.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Hand them over to the police.

He's perfectly right.
He's a little stinker.

Seems terrible, but it would be
terrible, too, if we got into trouble.

Bones, call the cops! Just a minute, Major.

In this situation I find a parallel
for the present world predicament.

We stand defeated
at the outset.

You, Esmeralda, have sympathy, yet
you're willing to remain passive.

I have a belief, and yet I'm tempted
to let myself be overridden by force.

The rest of you, with the
exception of this malignant jerk,

are ignorant of the facts
and, therefore, confused.

Thank heaven we're still members
of a democracy. We'll vote.

- I'm against voting!
- Fascist!

You know how we stand so far. The
twins, as usual, are on opposite sides.

And so their votes pair.

Titania's on both sides at
once and, therefore, neutral.

The major is for delivering
these people to the police,

and I, frankly,
am against it.

Esmeralda, the decision
is up to you.

I don't want any trouble
any more than anybody else,

but while you've been talking,
I've been looking at something...

something pretty fine too.

I've been looking at that little
girl standin' beside that poor man.

Never a word.
Never a question.

Takin' everything he's had to
take, stringin' along with him.

And I've been thinking, it's the good
people that stick when anybody's in trouble,

and there aren't many
good people in the world.

I think that we, all of us,
know that better than most.

It isn't something you
see every day of the week.

- So I vote... - We don't give
them up. Good girl, Esmeralda!

This is subversive!
I won't stand for it!

Oh, no, you don't! You'll abide
by the will of the majority.

Back in your places and pretend to
be asleep. That's all you have to do.

Here, you sit here. Come on,
young man. We've got to hide you.

Turn all the lights off. Here.
Take off your coat and put this on.

Come on.
Wake up in there!

Hey, what is this? Halloween? Police.

Is that so? Haven't you got
anything better to do...

than waking up law-abiding
citizens in the middle of the night?

We're lookin' for a man
and his woman companion.

He's got dark hair, between
the ages of 20 and 25.

The dame's supposed to be
good-lookin'. Have you seen him?

Now, where would I see anybody
as normal as that?

Who's this? Doesn't look
like one of your troupe.

Sure, she's one of us.
She's our little snake charmer.

Right now, she's sitting on a box
of snakes so they don't get lonesome.

Can you imagine that?
A good-lookin' gal too.

Well, I guess you can
all go back to sleep now.

A snake charmer! Well, well.
You never can tell about women.

It's all right.
You can come out now.

Wait, Justice, come back! Sit
down here! We're on our way.

I don't know how I can thank
you, sir. It's all right, my boy.

Gives you a good feeling
when you can help somebody.

You've got a right to know what
this is about. It's all right.

If that little girl can
trust you, I guess we can.

The baby!
She's had a tough time.

Poor little girl. She's worn
out. I'll take care of her.

Come on. Let's go.

Better let the snakes
get some sleep.

They have to look good
tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

What for? For being such
a dope. I was scared.

You'd have been a dope
if you hadn't been scared.

You're tired; that's all
that's the matter with you.

Get some sleep.
You'll be fine.

I can go to sleep,
all right.

I'm so tired.

I want to tell you
something.

I believe you.

Do you, Pat?

You didn't, you know.

It's a free country. A girl
can change her mind, can't she?

Sure, she can.

Thank you, Pat.

They made me so ashamed.

They're so nice
and trusting.

They're
wonderful people,

all except that nasty
little major and that...

mean twin.

I don't suppose you can really
blame the fat lady, though,

when a woman has lost
her figure that way.

Welcome to Soda City.

The heart
of the bicarbonate belt.

Well, we might as well
do the town.

There's nothing here.
Come on.

I suppose we are a little late.

Sorry, darling. I knew I
shouldn't have brought you here.

I'm not complaining.

This is great, isn't it? The
solution to all my problems.

I was counting
on this place.

A dump like this,
5,000 miles from nowhere.

Look at this.
It's been in use.

Let's go around
to the window.

Careful!
Don't cut yourself.

Hello? Hello?

Hung up. What sort of phone is that?

It's a field telephone.

Well, a room with a view.

What do you suppose they
cut that for? I don't know.

Say, look.

Tripod.

Looks like it's
the right height.

Yeah.

Something else
goes with this.

There!

That's it.

See anything?
Not yet.

Uh-oh.

Let me see!

Why, that's a... Why, Barry! Yeah.

Better put this away.
Take that.

- Say! The wood.
- What about it?

You wouldn't burn that.
Why not?

The smoke would show.

That's a car.

You better hide.
No, not here.

Hey. What d'you think
you're doin' around here?

I, uh... I was wonderin' when
you'd get here. Where you from?

What are you stickin'
around here for?

Excuse me.

Funny, you knowin' about this
place. I don't quite get it.

You might have thought
it over more carefully.

Your coming here
doesn't help us a bit.

The heat's on this guy,
and he shows up here.

Tobin sent me. The old man must
be off his nut sending him up here.

Be a little more careful, Neilson. Your
criticisms in front of other people.

- Yeah. Don't talk that way about the
old guy. - I'll watch out for myself.

Me too. Don't forget about me.
That's why Tobin sent me here.

He said you'd know
how to take care of me.

I guess that makes it
pretty clear, Neilson.

I don't know. A guy walks in,
and right away I get orders.

It ain't so clear to me.

I'm a little better than a stranger,
if you'll remember my clippings!

Yes. Mister, uh, Kane has
done pretty well down south.

His accomplishments can't be
disregarded. At least I hope not.

A man that has served as well as
he has is entitled to recognition.

More than that... protection. You
guys have got to take care of me.

The firm will do its best. They're
quite loyal to their employees.

Neilson will see that the
firm's record is maintained.

You got it easy,
you guys from back East.

You give orders.
You do that, all right.

The big boys
with the desk jobs.

All you gotta do is reach
for a telephone, sit back,

and us guys out here
have gotta take the rap.

I think I'll go back East
for a while.

You're not a very good
example of loyalty.

Yeah? Well, I'm gettin'
just a little bit tired. See?

So am I!
Let's get goin'!

The trip here was no pushover.
I had to hoof it most of the way.

I got no place to hide you out.
That ain't my line.

That ain't your line, huh?

What about you? You don't
seem so interested either!

I suppose you're just the big brains! Or
maybe you take a chance just for laughs!

Maybe it doesn't work that way. Maybe
I'm the only guy that sticks his neck out!

Well, get this! I pulled a
big job, and they're after me!

And you guys have gotta take care of
me, or you're gonna have some trouble!

I've gotta get out of this part of the

country! The ground's
burning up under my feet!

I've gotta get back East! It's more crowded
and a guy doesn't stand out, like here!

Take it easy.
Hang onto your nerve.

I've been hanging on
long enough!

I understand your difficulties,
but in this business...

we always have to make sure.

I think I know him now.

I'm driving back East. You'd
better come with me. All right.

Let's get goin'.
Get all the things together.

After we leave, I want this place
cleaned up. You won't be coming back here.

Why not? You think they
got the place spotted?

I'm making sure. You'll have to find
another place and store all this stuff.

It's not gonna be easy. If you can't
handle it, I'll have to get someone else.

All right.
I'll handle it.

You'll need some clothes. Size 42.

What'll we do about these?

How did you manage to break
them? On an automobile fan.

Very bright of you. I think
we can even take care of that.

But let's get started
now.

Did you hear
something?

Where does that lead to? Just another room.

The way out.

We figure that Kane and the other
fellows are probably headin' for New York.

If there's anything I can
do. We sure appreciate that.

Why, anyone would have done
the same thing. That's right.

This war sure makes a difference.
Everybody wants to get in and pitch.

Now, if you'll give me your
address in New York, Miss Martin,

we can contact you
back there.

Or maybe you could wire me
which plane you're taking.

We may want
to get ahold of you fast.

I can do that when I get back to
my uncle. Okay. Just keep in touch.

I'm glad we came this way.
It adds a few miles,

but I've become
a little sentimental.

I want to take
a last look at it.

Beautiful, isn't it? A great
monument to man's industry...

and his stubborn
faith in the future.

You'll be moving along soon. Are you
carrying any cameras or firearms at all?

Nothing at all, Officer. You, sir?

No, sir.

They must get a lot of power
from this dam.

I think it supplies about 75%
for the Los Angeles district,

including most of the power
for the defense plants.

Do you think there's... Do
you know Tobin very well?

No. I met him just that once at his
ranch. Did he have the child with him?

His grandchild? Yes. He
seemed to be very fond of her.

Yes. That's one of the
things I like about old Tobin:

his love
for that little girl.

Evidence
of a good heart.

I have children too, you know? Oh?

Two boys. Nice little
fellows. Aged two and four.

The four-year-old
is naughty at times.

He's quite a problem.

We get him a new toy and within
half an hour it's smashed to bits.

And then, sometimes,
after it's all over,

he seems almost sorry.

Sometimes I wish my younger
child had been a girl.

In fact, my wife and I argue
over a little idiosyncrasy I have.

I don't want his hair cut
short until he's much older.

Do you think it'd be
bad for him? It might be.

When I was a child,
I had long golden curls.

People used to stop
to admire me.

Things are different nowadays. A
haircut might save him a lot of grief.

Ah, we're on our way.

Drive to 401 instead of the office. Okay.

Anything wrong? I've just called the
office. They've disconnected the phone.

Same old phone company. Should've paid
the bill. This is no time for jokes!

The police. They're watching the
office. The phone is our signal.

Think they're watching for me? I don't know.

Who'd know you
were in New York?

Yeah.
I guess you're right.

How about Brooklyn tomorrow?
Do you want me on the job?

When are you gonna learn
to keep your mouth shut?

Sorry. I-I thought he
was in on it. Shut up.

It's all right.
I'm good at keeping secrets.

Let's go.

Mr. Freeman.

Hi, Mr. Freeman.
Hello.

Ah, pleased to see you.
Have a good trip?

Yes. Thank you, Robert. Madam is
upstairs. She's waiting anxiously.

Oh, thank you, Robert.
We'll go right up.

This way.

Who was that?

Hey, is this a hotel?
What's the festivity?

It's for a very worthy cause. Mrs. Sutton

often gives her house
over to charity affairs.

She's a very generous woman, but she
isn't going to be pleased to see us.

Idiots, all of you.
Stupid, inefficient idiots.

Everything is left to me. I have
to hover over you like an old hen.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Sutton. The guests
expect me to put in an appearance.

As you say, they want
something for their $25!

I will not have
my benevolence abused.

My life, my position...
they're important to me.

I'll do my best. I wish your
best were a little better.

Oh. Mr. Freeman. I'm glad
you've come at this time.

I was just telling Edward...
Is this the young man?

Must you bring him here? I certainly
can't furnish him with sanctuary.

This house is full of guests,
important people!

Don't you understand? The police
are already watching your office.

Thank goodness they'll never come here.
But a little more of your stupid behavior,

and even the respectability
of my house won't shield you.

I'm sorry. We can't
leave any loose ends.

All right! But for heaven's sake,
stop playing the conspirator.

Now tell me all you know
about the girl, or ask him.

Why didn't you tell me about
the young lady back in Soda City?

Well, I didn't think
it was important.

She was just a girl. She
picked me up. She was pretty.

I guess
it was kind of risky.

Well, there you are.

I'm so sorry
to have exposed you to any risk.

What's she doing here?

You're surprised to see me
again. How did you get here?

It doesn't matter. There was
no reason to bring her at all!

You see, I just learned on the
telephone at the gas station...

that she was most indiscreet
after she left you at Soda City.

She went to the sheriff, who, fortunately,
happened to be a good friend of ours.

Don't waste time
in explanations.

You've got to get the girl
out of this house.

I will not have
my benevolence abused!

So you played smart. That's great.
That's a big help to all of us.

No, I wasn't smart at all.

I haven't been smart for four days. Even
when I went to the sheriff, I hesitated.

I hated to do anything that
might get you into trouble.

Yeah, I sympathize. The mistake I made
was not leaving you with the snakes!

You might have learned to
rattle. I was right about you.

Good evening, Mr. Kane.

I didn't know
you were a bookworm.

You must let me choose something appropriate
for you. Something not too difficult.

Let me see.

Here we are.
This'll do admirably.

Remarkable work.
Somehow prophetic.

Why are you here, Charles? What's
all this nonsense about books?

I am a refugee.

I have at last joined that
revolting group of world travelers.

One ultimately turns into
the thing one despises most.

And whom have I to thank
for it? You, Mr. Freeman.

The girl was allowed
to escape unobserved.

She left Mr. Kane,
went straight to her uncle.

That charming old man
went to the police.

As a result, a whole hoard
of officers came to my house.

Luckily, I was leaving
when they arrived.

And the others...
the very loyal ones...

Well, they're paying for
their loyalty. How appalling!

Your charming house.
I'm so sorry, Charles.

Rather lucky. You might have been sorrier.

And you might have been
more efficient, Mr. Freeman.

What good is it to insult me?
We're in trouble now.

So the most important thing is to
make sure of everyone around us.

Mr. Kane. I'm just not sure. I
want to know that he's all right.

All right?
What an understatement.

He's much more than that!

He's noble
and fine and pure.

So he pays the penalty that the
noble must pay in this world:

he's misjudged by everyone.

Why, even the police have a
completely erroneous impression of him.

I can assure you that,
contrary to what is supposed,

and to what he
may have told you,

that young man is certainly not
one of his country's enemies.

Charles, you�re joking!
I mean exactly what I say.

Mr. Kane is definitely no part
of our little organization.

Your prot�g�. Well, you've done
splendidly. You bring him here, you idiot!

What in heaven's name
are we going to do with him?

That's a very appropriate
question.

Not much we can do with him. I made the

mistake once of turning
him over to the police.

That's even more impossible
at the moment.

I'm afraid there's only
one thing we can do.

You see, the new law
threatens all...

of us...
with the death penalty.

So I'm afraid we'll have to apply the
ancient axiom: a tooth for a tooth.

A Kane for a Tobin.

Please don't discuss things
of that sort here.

It's rather nauseating
and out of place.

Oh, Charles, I'm frightened.

We must take all precaution. Of course.
We must also continue with our work.

It's too risky now. We're abandoning
the dam. We must remain inactive.

Inactive? You are utterly mistaken. Once
we do that, our organization is finished.

- We must carry on.
- What about tomorrow's work?

Tomorrow's work? You can't
abandon that. But the risk!

Is great.
I know that.

Unfortunately, we will have
to carry out our orders.

I'm leaving
for the Caribbean now.

My position here is more
impossible than all of yours.

I'm rather looking forward
to Central America.

Havana will be very gay
this season.

Somehow I've suddenly
had enough of this country.

The war has made it grim.

You're leaving us here to face
everything, and you'll be on a boat.

It all sounds idyllic.

Oh, Charles. It's... This
whole thing... It's impossible!

It's panicky.
I'm deeply sorry.

Ah, there you are! How unbecoming
for a hostess to hide herself away.

Am I intruding? I just must
kidnap Henrietta. She'll be back.

I've had some trouble with these
people. They're doing the catering.

Our boy will appear any minute
with the caviar! I assure you!

Don't be a fool!
Get to the house phone.

How'd you get here? They met me at the
airport. I thought they were the police.

Wait a minute. No use
trying the way I came in.

Let's walk right out through
the front door! Might as well.

Yes, sir. We'll watch the
back exit. They won't get out.

No good. See the one on the other side? He's
one of them. We'll never get out that way.

What can they do? Plenty. They'd
grab us. We wouldn't have a chance.

These people would see them. If anyone
had a question, we're gate crashers.

Barry, this is awful.

It's like a bad dream. All these
people. Isn't there anyone we can trust?

Sure. All of them.
Only which one?

Excuse me. Uh, this may
sound sort of crazy.

I don't even know
how to start.

But this whole house is a
hotbed of spies and saboteurs.

I'm not being silly.
Even our hostess, Mrs. Sutton.

What's the matter with
you, sir? You're drunk.

You're not even dressed.

What'd he say?
He thinks I'm drunk.

When I read in the papers
what those Japs are doing...

Beat it out!
Eight to the bar.

Yeah, man.
Stay in there and pitch.

Pardon me. Did you pay $25
to get in here tonight?

No, not exactly. The boss
gave me a ticket. Why?

I need your help. We're among the biggest
bunch of fifth columnists in this country.

Are you kiddin'? What's the
gag? No. I'm on the level.

Aw, you're kiddin'.
The guy's tryin' to rib me.

Aw, sling him your curve. Beat it out, son.

Excuse me, sir. I'd like to talk to
you about something very important.

What is it, Mr. Kane?

You know it's hopeless.

Why don't you join Mr. Tobin
upstairs in a little supper?

I'll show you the way.

Barry, before they get to us, stop
the music and tell them! Tell them all.

This is the Sutton mansion. I'm just a
guy from California wanted by the police.

They'll grab me
as soon as I open my mouth.

What are you gonna do? We can't just
stand here. I know where we'll be safe.

Barry, I'm scared.

It's so unreal, all these people
dancing and having a good time.

And when you try to warn
them, they laugh at you.

They think you're drunk. That man you
spoke to seemed like such an honest citizen.

Mmm, just a friend of the family.
The room's well-sprinkled with them.

They're so smart.
That's what frightens me.

Yeah, they're smart,
because they're ruthless.

It's easy to win when you
forget about the rules.

A man named Fry drops
a wallet in California,

and we wind up here,
you and me.

That's the only good part:
I'm with you.

I wish it were somewhere else.
The North Pole. I wouldn't care.

We might wind up there too,
chasing Fry over a glacier!

Fry. He seems so small now.
I'd forgotten about him.

So had I.

We can't just go on dancing like
it's Saturday night at the Palladium.

We can't just wait
'til they get us.

What do you think
they'll really do?

They're probably haggling over the
price with Murder, Incorporated.

Oh, Barry, please! Sorry. I hate to be
out of it. There's still so much to do.

If staying alive was ever
important. You heard what they said.

Something about a job
tomorrow in Brooklyn.

The navy yard. One of us
has got to get out of here.

Maybe if I start something,
you can make a break for it.

What about you? You can't worry
about me. We've gotta take a chance.

Oh, Barry, why couldn't I have
met you a hundred years ago?

On a beach somewhere.

Bathing suits looked awfully
funny a hundred years ago.

I'll bet you'd look
beautiful, though.

Afraid we're not behaving
very well.

What's the difference?
We weren't invited anyway.

Pat, this moment
belongs to me.

No matter what happens, they
can never take it away from me.

Oh, pardon me.
Do you mind?

Oh, excuse me. Would you,
uh... Would you care to dance?

Why, yes. Certainly.

Oh, you're really
a much better dancer.

Thanks. Who was the man
you were dancing with?

I have no idea.
I never saw him before.

No, I mean the man
that just left you.

I know. I never saw him
before in my life.

Oh, what a pity. That was lovely.
I hope you will ask me again.

Oh, thanks.
Thanks a lot.

Well, young man, you seem to be enjoying
yourself. Charming party, isn't it?

Where is she? Your young lady? I
thought you were taking care of her.

Perhaps she has a headache
and is lying down somewhere.

Would you like to come
with me and look for her?

Hold on.

Ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen!

Your attention, please.

I-I have something
to tell you.

Something you ought to know about
this house and about your hostess.

Sir, before you go on, take a
look at the curtain on the balcony.

I'm, uh, not much
of a public speaker,

ladies and gentlemen,
and, uh,

some of you are probably wondering how I
can tell you anything about your hostess...

that you, uh,
you don't already know...

her graciousness,

her kindness,
her many charities.

Well, I want to tell you that you have a
big surprise coming, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight, in this house, for the
benefit of this great cause...

for which she's
already done so much,

our hostess, Mrs. Sutton,
is putting up for auction...

one of her most treasured
possessions,

one of the famous
Sutton jewels.

Mrs. Sutton, would you
kindly step forward?

- Thank you. - Mr. Kane, the
young lady is asking to see you.

Are you sure? I wouldn't keep
her waiting if I were you, sir.

Yes. Uh...

Will someone please, uh,
uh... Admiral?

Would you take over for me,
please? I'm wanted on the phone.

Delighted, sir.
Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will entertain
your bids for this beautiful bracelet...

which has been donated
by our hostess, Mrs. Sutton.

What am I bid?
One thousand dollars.

One thousand dollars has
been bid. Do I have any more?

Fifteen hundred.
Fifteen hundred dollars.

1,750.
$1,750.

Two thousand.
Two thousand.

Where is she?

You seem to have a soft spot
for that young lady.

You can't afford to make
yourself that vulnerable,

not when you're out trying
to save your country.

You sneer every time you refer to this

country. You've done
well here. I don't get it.

No, you wouldn't. You're one of the
ardent believers, a good American.

Millions like you plod along
without asking questions.

I hate to use the word stupid, but
it seems to be the one that applies.

The great masses,
the moron millions.

Well, there are a few of us who
are unwilling to just troop along;

a few who are clever enough to see
that there's much more to be done...

than just live small,
complacent lives;

a few of us who desire a more
profitable type of government.

When you think about it,
Mr. Kane,

the competence of totalitarian
nations is much higher than ours.

They get things done.

Yeah. They get things done.

They bomb cities, sink
ships, torture and murder...

so you can eat off a gold
plate; it's a great philosophy.

I neither intend to be
bombed nor sunk, Mr. Kane.

That's why I'm leaving now.

And if things don't go right for
you... If, uh, we should win...

then I'll come back.

Perhaps I can get
what I want then: power.

Yes. I want that as much as you
want your comfort or your job...

or that girl.

We all have different tastes,
as you can see.

Only I'm willing to back my
tastes with the necessary force.

You certainly make it sound
smooth and easy.

That's a trick.

I know the results of
that power you believe in.

It killed my friend, and it's
killing thousands like him.

That's what
you're aiming at.

But it doesn't bother you,
I can see that.

Because you
really hate all people.

Let me tell you something.

The last four or five days
I've learned a lot.

I've met guys like you,
and I've met others...

people that are helpful and
eager to do the right thing,

people that get a kick out of
helping each other fight the bad guys.

Love and hate.

The world's choosing up
sides. I know who I'm with.

There are a lot of people on my
side... millions in every country.

And we're not soft;
we're plenty strong.

And we'll fight standing up
on our two feet, and we'll win!

Remember that, Mr. Tobin. We'll
win, no matter what you guys do.

We'll win if it takes from
now until the cows come home!

Mr. Kane, I think we've discussed
the rights of man sufficiently.

I'm feeling a little tired.

You must be too.

Robert, do you think you can arrange
for Mr. Kane to sleep somewhere tonight?

Yes, sir.
Certainly, sir.

That's enough, Robert.
Very good, sir.

Think you can take care of this? Yes, sir.

Will that be all, sir?
Yes, thank you.

It doesn't matter what arrangements
we've made, to what trouble we've gone.

This whole job hangs
on one thing: timing.

If the slipway goes up
before the actual launching,

then all our efforts
have been wasted.

If you blow her too late,
then you just scare the crowd.

Timing, timing, timing.

That button must not be pressed
until the ship starts to move.

What arrangements
have been made for getting out?

As soon as the cables are unhooked, this
truck goes. We got it fixed at the gate.

Who's handling the camera
near the slipway? I am.

The explosives were laid last night.
I have to hook them up to the camera.

Too bad we have to
lose a good camera.

Everything seems to be taken care of.
I'll be waiting at the newsreel office.

Good luck.

- Have they gone?
- Yes.

How is she? Okay. She's
having her breakfast.

Any trouble keeping her quiet?
No. I made a deal with her.

You see, she got tired of having that
adhesive tape over her eyes and mouth.

I hope we get rid
of her soon.

I promised to take my kid
sister to the philharmonic.

Give me the key.
There it is.

I'm sorry we couldn't keep you
at the house,

but Mrs. Sutton has a limited
number of guest rooms,

and I suppose Mr. Kane
was first in line.

Where am I?
Oh, that's a trade secret.

I only hope it isn't too high
for you here.

Mr. Kane's quarters are nearer the
ground, but he's being well looked after...

and, like you, is probably
enjoying a hearty breakfast.

Somebody get the fire hose!

Whose place is that?
That's Mrs. Sutton's house.

Oh. Who's she?
Some rich dame.

Saw something in the paper about
her doing things for charity.

Right here somewhere.
Here.

What about tomorrow's work?

Tomorrow's work?
Can't abandon that.

But, Charles, the risk...
Is great! I know that.

Unfortunately, we will
have to carry out our orders.

- What's the time?
- 10:50.

Thanks.

Brooklyn Navy Yard, quick!

How much?
Fifteen.

Got change?
Yes.

Courtesy of the Navy Department,
we take you to the navy yard,

where we will endeavor to
bring you a description...

of the launching ceremony
of the U.S.S. Alaska.

And so we switch you now
to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Here we are. A rather windy autumn day,
but a pretty good day for a launching.

Any day is a good day
for a launching in these times.

Our microphones
are in several key spots.

What's holding us up?

Traffic, buddy.
What do you think?

Here. I'll walk.

Okay.

The main speaker
is about to begin.

I am now turning you over to Bill
Donnan, located on the actual platform.

Go ahead, Bill.

This is Bill Donnan. We're located
right below the bow of the great ship.

It towers over us like some
enormous monster. This platform...

Take me to the guy in charge!
Okay. I'll take care of this.

What do you want? Something's
gonna happen. Sabotage.

Where'd you get your
information? There isn't time!

We gotta have
more to go on.

Better tell the chief.
There isn't time!

What do you expect? Take me to
the guy in charge of the launching.

You gotta go through
the office first.

Towley, 1050.

Crowded with all kinds
of navy officers and personnel.

I can see Rear Admiral Pierce
and Mrs. Pierce.

It is Mrs. Pierce who will
perform the bottle breaking.

She is shaking hands with a
great many people down there.

Just a second. I see Rear Admiral
Pierce moving toward the microphone.

Yes. He's going
to begin his speech now.

We'll switch you over
to the speaker's microphone.

The launching of a ship
in time of war...

is always a solemn occasion.

Today, when our fleet is
fighting on all the seven seas,

this ceremony
gains magnitude...

for it represents a
victory. Where'd that guy go?

I don't know.
He just stepped outside.

...by the strong hands
of American workmen.

- Let us rejoice, then, at this
moment. Let us be confident,

...work together to show the
world what Americans can do.

Our American soldiers...

are freely giving their lives so that we
can live in decency, security and peace.

This is Bill Donnan again.

You�ve just heard Rear Admiral Pierce
speaking from the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

His speech is being received with great
applause... Shut the back doors! Quick!

I can handle this! Be ready to
pull out as soon as she goes.

The officer is handing her
a bottle of champagne.

The crowd is tense.
It is indeed a solemn occasion.

I switch you over to our microphone
near the bow of the ship...

so that you may hear
the actual launching.

I can see that Mrs. Pierce
is moving towards the bow.

I'll switch you over now
to Mrs. Pierce.

In the name of the people
of the United States,

I christen thee Alaska.

What's the trouble? Don't
know. An explosion somewhere.

George!

Everything okay? No. Give
us a hand. We got a guy.

Better scatter. Go through the
iron door into the music hall.

We'll go this way.

You must go at once, before
Henry catches you here!

I thought you wanted
to make the old boy jealous.

Not anymore. He's threatened
to kill you on sight.

You don't think
he'd go that far, do you?

Oh, will you go before it's too
late? Before he shoots you?

Old Henry's
got a gun? A real gun?

Oh!
What do you think this is?

I've caught you,
you rat in the grass!

Stop that!

Run, Wilbur!
Before he gets your range!

I think I got it now.
Get out before I shoot again!

Run! Quick!

Never touched me!
I'll get you this time.

My husband! He's shot!

I'll kill the rat
if it's the last thing I do!

He was only kidding.
I swear!

And I'm only kidding too!

Get outta here!
Get outta here!

He's gone mad! Mad!

Get out! Get out!

Not that way!
He'll kill you!

Murder! Help!
Run! Run!

Run for your life!

There he goes! He's the one you're after!

You're the one we're after.
Come on! He'll get away!

Come on! Grab a cab and go
after him. It's our only chance!

Taxi!

Downtown.
Whereabouts?

Anywhere. Just
keep goin' downtown.

May I have change for
the telephone? Yes, ma'am.

There you are.

Operator? Give me the F.B.I.
headquarters, please.

Federal Bureau
of Investigation.

Hold on,
I'll put you through.

Make sure he doesn't leave by the
next boat. Talk to him. Follow him!

Keep him there
until our men come along.

She thinks she's traced Fry to
Bedloe Island. He'd never go there!

Where did you pick up Schultz? In
that museum, that modern art place.

And Renaldo? You caught him in the aquarium.

But the statue's a dead
end. He's smart. Get going.

Let me take him to make sure
the girl hasn't made a mistake.

Burke, you're one of the most
obstinate men I've ever met! Get going.

Pardon me. Could you tell me
which is Brooklyn?

I've seen you before,
haven't I?

Sure.

On that boat
comin' over.

What'd you ask me?

About Brooklyn, where it was.
I've heard so much about it.

Over there.

Where are you from?
New York.

What are you handin' me? Oh, no.
You see, I work in a store downtown.

I never get a chance
to get out.

I just sit around all day,
and I never see anything.

So I said, the first vacation I get,
I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty.

This must be a big moment
for you, huh?

Oh, it is. And it means
so much to us now.

Why, I was just reading
in this booklet.

Did you know this statue
was given to us by the French?

You know what they had written
on it?

"Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses...

"yearning to breathe free;

"the wretched refuse
of your teeming shore.

Send these: the homeless,
tempest-tossed to me."

And just look at the French.
Isn't it sad? Yeah. Very sad.

Oh, it's such
a beautiful statue.

I could just sit up here all day
thinking about it. Couldn't you?

Some other day, maybe.
Not right now.

Right now I gotta catch
that boat back.

You comin'?

Well, there's another boat
in 15 minutes.

Couldn't we wait?

All the people have gone, and
we'd be alone... just you and me.

Sounds cozy.

But I...
I haven't got the time.

Oh, on a nice autumn day like this,
you couldn't spare 15 minutes for me?

I don't like autumn.

You're not being very nice
to a lonely girl.

You look as though you
might be lonely too.

Yeah.

I gotta catch that boat.

Fifteen minutes shouldn't make
such a big difference, Mr. Fry.

Who are ya?

Come on. Quit stalling.
Who are ya?

I think I told you. A
working girl on her day off.

Don't kid me!

What are you doin' here?

It's rather a long story,
Mr. Fry.

It all started
with an unknown blonde,

an aircraft worker at a
factory in Glendale, California.

I get it.

Little Miss Liberty,
carryin' the torch.

Why'd you follow me?
Why do you think?

Take a look down there. If you can't
figure it out, they're coming for you.

Do you see him in this bunch? No.

Barnes, you stay here and watch
this end. You fellows, come with me.

You two, watch that side.

I'm going up.

Barry!
Pat, where is he?

He started down!
Are you sure?

He's up here! Come on!

Come on, Fry!

I'll get your sleeve.

Don't you go over! If you
slip, that'll be three gone!

Quick! Get a rope.

- Can you get a grip with your feet?
- I can't.

Kane, I'm
getting a rope!

- They're getting a rope. Hold on, Fry.
- I'll clear you.

I swear I will.

- I'll clear you.
- Hurry up with the rope!

Tell them quick.
The sleeve.

Sleeve!

Kane!
