0:06:07 > 0:06:12- May I come home with you? - What's the idea?
0:06:12 > 0:06:18- I'd like to.- It's your funeral. Come on, then. There's a bus.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- You don't stay here always?- I'm only over from Canada for a few months.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51By the way, am I allowed to know your name?

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Now!
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Mr Hannay, would you be very kind and turn that mirror with its face to the wall?
0:07:57 > 0:08:04- You'd be happier with curtains? - Yes.- Sorry. - PHONE RINGS
0:08:04 > 0:08:07There's the phone. Just a minute.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Mr Hannay, don't answer the telephone!- Why not?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I think it's for me. Please don't answer.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Just as you say.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Won't you sit down?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Thanks. Would you please kick that footstool over to me?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- You needed that.- I did.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- I owe you an explanation. - Don't bother about me. - We cannot talk here.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04All right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Just a minute.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- OK?- Mm-hmm.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Cigarette?- No, thank you.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33PHONE RINGS
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Your friend again.- Take no notice.
0:09:53 > 0:10:00- Would you think me very troublesome if I asked for something to eat? - Sure.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Do you like haddock? - Yes, please.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- I suppose your name isn't really Smith?- It depends where I am.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- You may call me Annabella. - Annabella Smith.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- GAS IGNITES Oh!- Nervy? Upset by those shots tonight?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I fired those shots.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- What?- To create a diversion.
0:10:27 > 0:10:34I had to get away quickly. There were two men there who wanted to kill me.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Be more careful with your gentlemen friends.- You don't understand.
0:10:39 > 0:10:46A beautiful, mysterious woman pursued by gunmen? It sounds like a spy story.
0:10:46 > 0:10:53- That's exactly what it is. Only, I prefer the word "agent". - Who for?- Anyone who pays me.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00- What IS your country?- I have none. - Born in a balloon, eh? We'll let that go.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Now I suppose you're over here to dig up some big State secret?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10No. I'm here to save a secret from being dug up.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Not because I love England, but because it pays me better.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18A very brilliant foreign agent
0:11:18 > 0:11:23is on the point of obtaining a secret vital to your air defence.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I tracked two of his men tonight,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- but they recognised me. They're after me.- That's too bad.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Ever heard of persecution mania?
0:11:34 > 0:11:41- You don't believe me? - Frankly, I don't. - Go and look down in the street.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- You win.- Are they there?- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I hoped I'd shaken them off.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21I'm going to tell you something that's not very healthy to know,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25but now you are in it as much as I am.
0:12:25 > 0:12:32- How do you mean?- Have you ever heard of The 39 Steps?- Is it a pub?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Never mind. But what you were laughing at just now is true.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42These men will stick at nothing. Only I can stop them.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47It's only a matter of days or hours before it's out of the country.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- Why don't you tell the police? - They wouldn't believe me either.
0:12:52 > 0:13:01And they would take too long. These men act quickly. You don't know how clever their chief is.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- Clever and ruthless.- Who is he? - He has a dozen names.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And he can look like 100 people.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12But one thing he cannot disguise.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Part of his little finger's missing.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- If you meet a man with no top joint there, be very careful.- Thanks(!)
0:13:21 > 0:13:27- Meanwhile, what will you do? - First, I'll eat my haddock.
0:13:27 > 0:13:34- And then, if you don't turn me out, have a good night's rest. - You're welcome to my bed.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'll get a shake down on the couch.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- Anything else I can get you? - A map of Scotland.- Why Scotland?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47There's a man in Scotland I must visit if anything is to be done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Are The 39 Steps in Scotland by any chance?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Perhaps I'll tell you tomorrow.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Clear out, Hannay! They'll get you next!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28PHONE RINGS
0:15:00 > 0:15:05What you were laughing at just now is true.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10These men will stop at nothing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14PHONE CONTINUES RINGING
0:15:45 > 0:15:52There's a man in Scotland whom I must visit next if anything is to be done.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58It is only a matter of days, perhaps hours,
0:15:58 > 0:16:03before the secret is out of the country.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09The police would not believe me any more than you did.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I tell you, these men act quickly.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Quickly...quickly...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Morning, sir. You're up early.
0:17:08 > 0:17:15- Could you use a pound?- Eh? - I want to borrow your cap and coat. - What's the big idea?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- I want to make a getaway. - What have you been up to?
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- There's been a murder committed on the first floor.- By you?- No.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28By those two men out there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33I see. And now they're waiting for a copper to arrest them(!)
0:17:33 > 0:17:38It's true. They're foreign spies. And now they're waiting for me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Oh, come off it!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45All right. I'll tell you the truth.
0:17:45 > 0:17:52- Are you married?- Yes, but don't rub it in.- I'm not, you see. I'm a bachelor.- Are you?
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- A married woman lives here.- Yes? - And I've just paid her a call.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And now I want to go home.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- What's preventing you? - Her brother and her husband!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Why didn't you tell me before?
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Kidding me with a lot of tales! 'Ere, put on my little hat.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- Take a pound note.- No, sir. You'd do the same for me one day.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Leave the pony round the corner.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- So long, old sport.- Thank you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Oi! The empties!
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Papers, magazines, chocolates, cigarettes...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56WHISTLE BLOWS
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There he is!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20TRAIN "SCREAMS"
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Well, for one thing, they're prettier than 20 years ago.
0:19:26 > 0:19:33- Free and easy. - Better than the old sort. All bones and no bend!
0:19:33 > 0:19:40- But the old ones lasted longer. - Mine last about a year. Here, I'll show you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43There's a big demand for these now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- The old-fashioned sort. - Brrrr(!) My wife!
0:19:47 > 0:19:53Take a look at these - our new streamlined model No. 1.
0:19:53 > 0:20:00- Anything to go with it? - I should say so! Put a pretty girl in those!
0:20:00 > 0:20:08- Bring it back when it's filled! - I will. ..Hello, what's this? Edinburgh, Waverley.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Good day, sir.- Good day.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Broad-minded old geezer! - I bet he's good at charades!
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- I wonder what won the 2 o'clock at Windsor.- I'll get a paper.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Say, son. Speak-a de English? Despatch.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48- Hello!- What won it? - There's been another woman murdered in a West End flat.
0:20:48 > 0:20:56- Sex dramas don't appeal to me. What won?- Bachelor Buck.- Oh, good. - Portland Mansions.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02- By the BBC! That's a nice place to put someone to sleep.- "Goodnight!"
0:21:02 > 0:21:09- What was she like? - "A well-dressed woman of about 35. The tenant, Mr Hannay, is missing."
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You surprise me!
0:21:12 > 0:21:19"At 7 o'clock this morning, the charwoman..." What a liberty!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- What?- Is there NO honesty at all?

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Thank you.- That's all right.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24There's enough evidence there to hang any man.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30- Can I help you, sir? - Where does that train stop next?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I'm not a porter! Away you go!
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- I've got a better one than that. - That was very funny!- You liked it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Have you heard the one about the young lady from Ongar?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52"There was a young lady of Ongar..."
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Taking tea, sir?- Yes. Thank you.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Get on with it!
0:25:12 > 0:25:20Why did you pull the cord? To stop the train, you fool! A man jumped off.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25He jumped off here, but I can't see him.
0:25:26 > 0:25:32There he is! That's a passenger. It's he, I tell you!

0:28:32 > 0:28:35You'll be tired?

0:29:03 > 0:29:08- Have you been in these parts long? - No, I'm from Glasgow.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Did you ever see it?- No.

0:29:16 > 0:29:21and Argyle Street on Saturday night with the trams and their lights.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24It's Saturday night tonight.

0:29:35 > 0:29:40- Sometimes.- I HAVE been to Edinburgh, Montreal and London.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- I'll tell you about London later. - John wouldn't approve of that.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50- Why not? - Those places are wicked.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Why not listen now before he comes back? What do you want to know?
0:29:55 > 0:30:01- Is it true that all the ladies paint their toenails?- Some of them.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06- Do London ladies look beautiful? - Yes, but not compared to you.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- You ought not to say that. - Say what?
0:30:11 > 0:30:16I was just saying that I prefer the town to the country.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18God made the country.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Is the supper ready, woman?
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- Mind if I look at your paper? - I don't mind.

0:30:48 > 0:30:55- Well, Mr Hammond, if you'll put down that paper, I'll say a blessing. - Yes, of course.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Sanctify these bounteous mercies to us miserable sinners.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10Make us truly thankful for them and all Thy manifold blessings.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16And continually turn our hearts from wickedness
0:31:16 > 0:31:20and from worldly things... unto Thee.

0:33:12 > 0:33:19- Aye, go!- And leave you? No fear! - It's your chance of liberty! - CAR HORN BLARES
0:33:19 > 0:33:25- She's only trying to help me! - To bring shame and disgrace to me!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- To escape from the police!- Police? - They're after me for murder.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34She was only trying to warn me. I had to tell her last night.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Say I'm not here. I'll pay you.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43- How much?- £5.- Do you have that much? Give it to me!- After they've gone.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Get back into bed. Hide him.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- No! I don't trust him.- But he took the money.- He couldn't resist it!
0:33:53 > 0:33:56MUFFLED CONVERSATION
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Have you seen a stranger about? >
0:34:00 > 0:34:05I was right. He's asking if there's a reward if you get catched.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10In a moment he'll let them in. Now's your time.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Your jacket's too light-coloured.
0:34:14 > 0:34:21- You best take this one. - Is it your husband's coat? - His Sunday best. Never mind.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- And you? He won't ill-treat you? - No. He'll pray at me, no more.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- What's your name?- Margaret. - I'll never forget you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57There he goes!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Spread out!
0:36:33 > 0:36:40- Is the master in?- What name, sir? - Mention Miss Annabella Smith. - Would you wait here, sir?
0:36:47 > 0:36:52We better ask here. Somebody may have seen him.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57There's been a car here! The murderer didn't have one!
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Good day to you. Have you seen any strangers?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05There's no strangers here.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Any suspicious-looking bodies calling at the hoose?
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Nobody's been near here, sir.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- You're from Annabella Smith?- Yes.
0:37:17 > 0:37:24We're having a few drinks for my daughter's birthday. Give me 5 minutes, then we'll talk.
0:37:24 > 0:37:32- Come and meet my wife. ..Louisa! This is Mr...? I am sorry. - Hammond.- Mr Hammond.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35He's come all the way from London.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- It's the police at the door, sir. - At the door?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43All right. I'll deal with it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Come and meet my daughters. This is Patricia.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Mrs Bailey and Mrs Huntley.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Hilary, this is Mr...- Hammond.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59How do you do, Mr Hammond? Do forgive the orgy!
0:37:59 > 0:38:04- This is Captain Ogilvie. Drink, Mr Hammond?- Thank you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09And this is Sheriff Watson. You've got to be polite to him.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14He'll give you 6 months' hard as soon as look at you!
0:38:16 > 0:38:21It's all right. Don't worry. I've sent them away.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Come and see the view, Mr Hammond.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28We're rather proud of it.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36< By the way, Sheriff, when are you going to catch that murderer?
0:38:36 > 0:38:41The Portland Place murderer. He's here in the district!
0:38:41 > 0:38:50He's been on the moors. Sheriff, you wouldn't want me stuck in the back with a knife, would you?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54< If you catch him, I'LL convict him!
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- We must let the Professor have his lunch.- If you must go...
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Pat! Ring for Captain Ogilvie's car, would you?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Whenever you do catch him, I'm at the Sheriff Court at 10am.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Louisa, my dear, excuse us. Mr Hammond and I want to have a chat before lunch.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40Now, Mr Hannay. I suppose it's safe to call you by your real name now.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45- What about our friend Annabella? - She's been murdered!- Murdered?
0:39:45 > 0:39:52- Oh, the Portland Mansions affair? What they're after you for. - I didn't do it!- Of course not.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55But why come here to tell me?
0:39:55 > 0:40:03I believe she was coming here about Air Ministry secrets. She was killed by a foreign agent.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08- Did she describe him?- No, but part of his little finger is missing.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13- Which one?- This one, I think. - Sure it wasn't...this one?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25SOMEONE AT THE DOOR
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Lunch is ready, dear.- I'm coming.
0:40:36 > 0:40:43Well, Mr Hannay, I'm afraid I'm guilty of leading you down the garden path.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Or should that be up?
0:40:46 > 0:40:50It seems to be the wrong garden, all right!
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Well... what are we going to do?
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Exactly. What ARE we going to do?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You see, I live here as a respectable citizen.
0:41:02 > 0:41:09My whole existence is jeopardised if it is known that I am not what I seem.
0:41:09 > 0:41:15Why have you come here? Why force me into this difficult position?
0:41:15 > 0:41:20I can't lock you up in a room. There's my wife and daughters.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25I don't know what to think. Really I don't.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30What makes it doubly important that I don't let you go
0:41:30 > 0:41:38is that I'm about to convey some very vital information out of the country.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I'm afraid poor Annabella was too late.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50- Well, that's that.- Yes. What about it?- What?- Yourself?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- There's only one way out.- Which is?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Supposing I left you alone with this revolver?
0:42:01 > 0:42:07The papers would say the Portland Place murderer took his own life.
0:42:07 > 0:42:13- We're all waiting, dear! Will Mr Hammond be staying? - I don't think so, dear.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Well? What do you think, Mr Hannay?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I'm afraid you leave me no alternative.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38I cannae find my hymn book!
0:42:38 > 0:42:43- Where did you leave it? - The breast pocket of my overcoat.
0:42:43 > 0:42:50John, I...I'm afraid I gave it to that gentleman who was staying here that night.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- SLAP! - Aaaaaah!
0:42:54 > 0:42:59I've never seen it happen to a hymn book, except in movies!
0:42:59 > 0:43:06The bullet stuck in the hymns! I'm not surprised. Some of them are terrible hard to get through!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11I'm not complaining, Sheriff. "Hymns that have helped me," eh?
0:43:11 > 0:43:18Yes! That's a good one, Mr Hannay! And to think I was drinking his champagne!
0:43:18 > 0:43:24Never mix with doubtful company on the Sabbath! How did you escape?
0:43:24 > 0:43:28If you look out there, you'll see. They put the, er - well, the body -
0:43:28 > 0:43:34in the dressing room. When I came to, I pinched his car!
0:43:34 > 0:43:39Sheriff, I don't want to hurry you, but this IS serious, you know.
0:43:39 > 0:43:45- And I face a murder charge! - Never heed the murder, Mr Hannay.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50I'm sure you'll convince Scotland Yard as easily as you convinced me.
0:43:50 > 0:43:57All I need is a short statement to forward to the authorities. The police will take it down.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03You wanted me, Sheriff? Indeed!
0:44:03 > 0:44:06This man is a murderer!
0:44:06 > 0:44:15- Murderer!? - < Certainly! You're under arrest for the murder at Portland Mansions!
0:44:15 > 0:44:22- Sheriff, you must believe me! - Hannay, we're not so daft here as some smart Londoners may think!
0:44:22 > 0:44:27The Professor is my best friend! ..Get Professor Jordan.
0:44:27 > 0:44:35- Then where is the bullet from? - One of your pursuers on the moor. I shot at him myself.
0:44:35 > 0:44:41- Let me phone the High Commissioner for Canada!- Do it from London. It'll save the cost of a trunk call.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53That's the car. Hannay must be spilling the beans.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Stop him, someone!
0:45:03 > 0:45:06BAND PLAYS ROUSING TUNE
0:45:47 > 0:45:51Oh, how do you do? We're all waiting for you.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Pamela's gone to the station. This way!
0:45:57 > 0:46:03I welcome this opportunity of discussing another question
0:46:03 > 0:46:10vital to the import of our country at this critical and momentous hour.
0:46:10 > 0:46:17But first, I shall occupy your time... You've occupied too much!
0:46:17 > 0:46:20< We've had enough of you!
0:46:23 > 0:46:29Ladies and gentlemen, I'm now going to call upon the speaker of the evening.
0:46:29 > 0:46:35MUMBLING: There's no need for me to tell you who he is.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38< Speak oot!
0:46:38 > 0:46:43He's one of the foremost speakers in the political world in London. >
0:46:43 > 0:46:48I will ask him to tell you... < About time, too!
0:46:48 > 0:46:56..why in this constituency, at this crucial by-election, our candidate should be returned.
0:46:56 > 0:47:01I now ask for Captain Fraser. LOUD APPLAUSE
0:47:16 > 0:47:21Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for my hesitation in rising.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26I entirely failed, while listening to that flattering description,
0:47:26 > 0:47:31- to realise he was talking about me! - LAUGHTER
0:47:31 > 0:47:36From the bottom of my heart and with the utmost sincerity,
0:47:36 > 0:47:41may I say how delighted and relieved I am to find myself in your presence at this moment.
0:47:45 > 0:47:50Delighted, because of your friendly reception,
0:47:50 > 0:47:55relieved because, so long as I stand on this platform,
0:47:55 > 0:48:01I am delivered from the cares and anxieties of a man in my position.
0:48:01 > 0:48:11When I journeyed up to Scotland over the Forth Bridge, a monument to Scottish engineering,
0:48:11 > 0:48:17I had no idea I should find myself addressing this important meeting.
0:48:17 > 0:48:22No idea! I had planned a very different programme for myself.
0:48:24 > 0:48:31- You'd be for the moors to shoot something? - Or somebody! I'm a rotten shot!
0:48:31 > 0:48:38I never thought I'd be speaking for that brilliant young statesman, the, er...gentleman on my right.
0:48:38 > 0:48:44He is already destined to make no uncertain mark in politics.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48Your future MP, your candidate, Mr...eh...
0:48:48 > 0:48:51..McCrocodile!
0:48:51 > 0:49:00- < He doesn't know his name! - I was using the friendly nickname by which he is already known
0:49:00 > 0:49:06in anticipation...anticipation, mark you, at Westminster.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Now, what topic shall we discuss?
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Herring! Unemployment!
0:49:12 > 0:49:19- What about the idle rich? > - That's an old topic. I'm not rich and was never idle!
0:49:19 > 0:49:21I'm pretty busy!
0:49:21 > 0:49:30- Ever work with your hands?- Yes! I know about being lonely and helpless. No-one should feel that!
0:49:30 > 0:49:37And I ask your candidate to set himself resolutely to make this world a happier place,
0:49:37 > 0:49:42where no nation plots against nation,
0:49:42 > 0:49:49where everyone gets a square deal and a sporting chance, where people help and don't hinder,
0:49:49 > 0:49:56a world without suspicion or fear. That's the world I want! Is that the world you want?
0:49:56 > 0:50:00WILD CHEERING
0:50:00 > 0:50:03That's all I have to say. Goodbye!
0:50:15 > 0:50:21- I tried to keep them going. - You're a difficult man to follow!
0:50:25 > 0:50:28You must think you're damn clever!
0:50:28 > 0:50:36- Tell him not to insult me! - I told you the truth on that train! Couldn't you see I was genuine?
0:50:36 > 0:50:42Well, anyway, would you phone the High Commissioner for Canada
0:50:42 > 0:50:47and tell him that vital secrets are being stolen by a foreign agent?
0:50:47 > 0:50:52- Has that penetrated?- Right to the funny-bone(!) Tell me another.
0:50:52 > 0:50:57Have you NO sense!? Make that call, I beg you, and refer them to me!
0:50:57 > 0:51:00- Will you do this?- No! Goodnight.
0:51:00 > 0:51:05- Would you come too, Miss?- Why? - To identify the prisoner formally.
0:51:05 > 0:51:11- Would you come to the station? - All right. Let's get it over.
0:51:24 > 0:51:30- Now, you.- Must I sit next to him? - It's only for a short time, Miss. - Do hurry.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36All right.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Isn't that the police station?
0:51:47 > 0:51:53- Sorry, Miss. We're not going to this police station.- Where, then?
0:51:53 > 0:52:01- To Inveraray.- Inveraray!? - Yes, Miss. He's to be questioned by the Sheriff Principal.- And me?
0:52:01 > 0:52:06I'll see you're sent back at the earliest moment.
0:52:06 > 0:52:11- How far is it?- 40 miles.- Quiet! We'll be there in 2 hours, Miss.
0:52:11 > 0:52:16- Do you think I'm going to spend half the night with you?- Yes!
0:52:49 > 0:52:54Isn't the man going the wrong way? THAT's the way to Inveraray!
0:52:54 > 0:52:59There's a bridge down, Miss. We'll have to go round.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- Might I see your warrant? - Shut your mouth!

0:53:10 > 0:53:13Would you like a small bet with me?
0:53:16 > 0:53:24I'll lay 100 to 1 that your Sheriff Principal has the top joint of his little finger missing.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26What about it?
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I win.
0:53:30 > 0:53:35- Hello! What's this? - Oh, a flock of detectives!

0:53:40 > 0:53:44Go and clear them away. What about him? >
0:53:44 > 0:53:51I'll soon fix that. There - you're a Special Constable! If you stay, he stays.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Yes, and if I go, you go!
0:53:57 > 0:54:00Stop them! They've got away!
0:54:02 > 0:54:05- Come on!- I won't!
0:54:21 > 0:54:24You're hurting me!
0:54:24 > 0:54:26See if they've gone that way!
0:54:36 > 0:54:39Where the Devil have they gone?
0:54:57 > 0:55:02Help! Help! Let me go! Let me go!
0:55:36 > 0:55:39One yip and I'll shoot you!
0:55:58 > 0:56:01There's nobody down here! >
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Spread out and find them!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25We must be a mile away by now.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Don't do that!
0:56:28 > 0:56:36Oh, do stop whistling! Why are you doing this? What chance have you got tied to me?
0:56:36 > 0:56:43- Keep that one for your husband! You are the white man's burden! - I'm so glad(!)
0:56:43 > 0:56:48- They'll get you in the daylight. - They're not policemen.
0:56:48 > 0:56:53- And when did you find that out? - That wasn't the road to Inveraray.
0:56:53 > 0:57:00- God help us if they catch us again! - I see. Still sticking to your penny novelette spy story?
0:57:00 > 0:57:05There are 20 million women here and I have to get chained to you!
0:57:05 > 0:57:08Look, I'm telling you the truth.
0:57:08 > 0:57:13I told you on the train, at the meeting and again now -
0:57:13 > 0:57:18there's a dangerous conspiracy and only we can stop it!
0:57:18 > 0:57:21A gallant knight to the rescue(!)
0:57:21 > 0:57:26All right. Then I'm just a plain, common murderer...
0:57:26 > 0:57:32who stabbed an innocent woman in the back. How do you like that?
0:57:32 > 0:57:40I don't know about innocent, but you're a woman and you're alone and you're manacled to a murderer!
0:57:40 > 0:57:45- Do you prefer that situation? - I'm not afraid of...
0:57:46 > 0:57:49Perhaps I murder a woman a week.
0:57:51 > 0:57:57From now on, do every single thing I tell you to do and do it quick!
0:57:57 > 0:58:00You big bully!

0:58:15 > 0:58:21We're going in and you'll back up everything I say. Got that?
0:58:21 > 0:58:26Put your hand in my pocket and look as if you're in a hurry.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Oh, come away in!
0:58:34 > 0:58:39- You're all wet!- We had an accident with our car.- Staying the night?
0:58:39 > 0:58:47- Yes.- We've just the one room with the one bed in it. You won't mind that?- Oh, no, no.
0:58:47 > 0:58:51- You're man and wife?- Oh, yes! - Em...yes.
0:58:51 > 0:58:56- Have you any luggage?- In the car. - I could lend the lady a nightgown.
0:58:56 > 0:59:00Would you please to register? James!
0:59:00 > 0:59:08- Would you be needing your supper? - A large whisky and some sandwiches. Oh, and a glass of milk.

1:02:09 > 1:02:14Anything in that bag of yours? Scissors or a hair pin?
1:02:14 > 1:02:19- A nail file!- It'll take 10 years, but we can try!
1:02:19 > 1:02:26Let's get comfortable. That skirt of yours is pretty damp. You don't want pneumonia.
1:02:26 > 1:02:31- Take it off.- I'll keep it on! - And that...is that.
1:02:31 > 1:02:36- I'll take my shoes and stockings off.- Talking sense at last!
1:02:36 > 1:02:39- Can I be of assistance?- No!
1:02:47 > 1:02:50- Here, hold this.- Oh, yeah.
1:02:59 > 1:03:01Half a minute!
1:03:10 > 1:03:15- Thank you.- Don't mention it. Do you want your milk?- Not yet.
1:03:16 > 1:03:18Cheerio!
1:03:20 > 1:03:24- That's better. Feet warm again? - Yes, thanks.- Well, come on.
1:03:27 > 1:03:32Kindly place yourself on the operating table!
1:03:32 > 1:03:39- Nobody's going to hurt you. - I won't lie on this bed! - Yes, you will. We're Siamese twins!
1:03:39 > 1:03:46- Don't gloat!- I don't want to see your unwashed and shiny face in the morning!
1:03:47 > 1:03:52Give me that nail file. ..Thank you.
1:03:52 > 1:03:57- HE WHISTLES - I wish I could get that damn tune out of my head!
1:03:57 > 1:04:00I wonder where I heard it.
1:04:00 > 1:04:05- You sound very sleepy. - Sleepy? I'll say so.
1:04:05 > 1:04:10I last slept in a bed on Saturday and that was only a few hours.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13- What wakened you? Dreams?- Dreams?
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Murderers have terrible dreams.
1:04:15 > 1:04:18Only at first.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20I got over that a long time ago.
1:04:20 > 1:04:23I used to be quite squeamish.
1:04:23 > 1:04:28I used to wake up screaming, but one gets hardened.
1:04:28 > 1:04:31How did you start?
1:04:31 > 1:04:36In a small way. Pilfering pennies at school.
1:04:36 > 1:04:39Then car pinching, smash and grab,
1:04:39 > 1:04:40plain burglary.
1:04:40 > 1:04:43I killed my first man at 19.
1:04:45 > 1:04:48In years to come, you'll be able
1:04:48 > 1:04:50to see me at Madame Tussaud's!
1:04:50 > 1:04:53- Which section?- It's early to say.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56But I'll be there somewhere.
1:04:56 > 1:05:02You'll point and say, "If you knew how matey I was with him..."
1:05:02 > 1:05:07- What's the matter?- These handcuffs are pinching my wrist.- Sorry.
1:05:07 > 1:05:12- It all began at Madame Tussaud's. - What?- My career of crime.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15- My great uncle Penruddock.- Who?
1:05:15 > 1:05:21You've never heard of him? The Cornish Bluebeard?
1:05:21 > 1:05:28- I thought your family came from Canada.- That's where they went after the Penruddock incident.
1:05:28 > 1:05:37He murdered three wives. His mother-in-law tried to get him arrested, but he was too quick.
1:05:37 > 1:05:42He took her a walk to Land's End and shoved her into the ocean!
1:05:42 > 1:05:47He's in Madame Tussaud's all right. I must go and see him some time.
1:05:47 > 1:05:53He's the third on the left. Red whiskers and a hare-lip.
1:05:53 > 1:05:57And that, lady, is the sad story of my life.
1:05:57 > 1:06:04Poor orphan boy who never had a chance. Are you still set on giving me to the police?
1:06:23 > 1:06:28- Is everything all right? - Yes. He can't have much time.
1:06:28 > 1:06:35- Once I pick up...you know what, I'll leave the country. - Be careful. Wire to me.
1:06:39 > 1:06:42Goodbye, my dear!
1:08:51 > 1:08:54A DOOR SLAMS
1:08:57 > 1:09:00VOICES IN HALL
1:09:02 > 1:09:07< Is that Prof. Jordan's house? Can I speak to Mrs Jordan?
1:09:08 > 1:09:15< Is that Mrs Jordan? Oh, he's gone to London already, has he?
1:09:15 > 1:09:19I'd like that whisky hot.
1:09:19 > 1:09:27The girl handed him over to us > thinking we were detectives. We had to take her as well.
1:09:29 > 1:09:32Very good, ma'am. Yes.
1:09:32 > 1:09:34Well?
1:09:34 > 1:09:39The old man's got the wind up. He's cleared out already. Why?
1:09:39 > 1:09:44It's too dangerous. He's warning the whole 39 Steps. >
1:09:44 > 1:09:47Has he got the...you know?
1:09:47 > 1:09:52Yes. He's picking him up at the London Palladium.
1:09:52 > 1:09:59- That'll be half a Crown. - And the phone call? - We'll say a shilling.
1:10:02 > 1:10:08- Is this a hotel as well?- Aye. - Do you have people staying?- Aye!
1:10:08 > 1:10:12- You must get a few odd people? - Oh, aye.
1:10:12 > 1:10:15- Did you have anyone in tonight? > - Aye.
1:10:15 > 1:10:19They weren't a young couple?
1:10:19 > 1:10:23James! Mercy me!
1:10:23 > 1:10:28What kind of silly creature are you? Do you want to get us all jailed?
1:10:28 > 1:10:31- What did you charge?- Half a Crown.
1:10:34 > 1:10:41Oot! The pair of you! And dinna let on to anybody you got a drink here after hours!
1:10:49 > 1:10:54You old fool! You wouldn't give away a young couple, would you?
1:12:37 > 1:12:39Morning!
1:12:42 > 1:12:46What's the idea? How did we get out of these?
1:12:46 > 1:12:53- We didn't. I slipped out of mine last night. - Why didn't you run away?
1:12:53 > 1:12:58I discovered that you were speaking the truth, so I decided to stay.
1:12:58 > 1:13:05- What made your brain work at last? - Those two men were here. - What did they say?
1:13:05 > 1:13:11- A lot of stuff about The 39 Steps. - You don't...- What?- No, go on.
1:13:11 > 1:13:16- Someone's going to warn them. How can you warn steps?- Go on.
1:13:16 > 1:13:20And someone's got scared and is clearing out
1:13:20 > 1:13:25- and is picking up someone at the London Palladium.- Palladium?
1:13:25 > 1:13:32Is that the Professor? Our friend with the finger missing? What does he want to go there for?
1:13:36 > 1:13:40- I feel such a fool, not having believed you. - Oh, that's all right.
1:13:42 > 1:13:45Em...we, we ought to get a move on.
1:13:45 > 1:13:48What room are those two men in?
1:13:48 > 1:13:54- No room. They went as soon as they'd telephoned.- They WHAT!?
1:13:54 > 1:14:01- Didn't I tell you? - You let them go after hearing that? You button-headed little idiot!
1:14:01 > 1:14:08- Four or five hours wasted! You must have known it was important! - Why not let well alone?
1:14:08 > 1:14:14I'm accused of murder! To clear myself, I must expose these spies!
1:14:14 > 1:14:19- They're going to the Palladium! - First house or second house(?)
1:14:19 > 1:14:23- The show will suit you! - What?- Crazy Month!
1:14:42 > 1:14:45You're quite right, madam.
1:14:45 > 1:14:49The Air Ministry has a new thing that interests a lot of people,
1:14:49 > 1:14:54but no papers are missing that could be of any use to a spy.
1:14:54 > 1:14:58But I'm certain! There's a man leaving tonight with something!
1:14:58 > 1:15:03Since you phoned us from Scotland, we have made the minutest inquiries.
1:15:09 > 1:15:16- I'm wasting my time! - Just a moment, Miss, please. One thing you haven't told us.
1:15:16 > 1:15:19Where's Richard Hannay?
1:15:20 > 1:15:22I haven't the faintest idea!
1:15:22 > 1:15:25Look, Miss, you can't...
1:15:25 > 1:15:32- You're in the phone book?- Yes. - Well, if anything crops up, we'll give you a ring. Thank you.
1:15:37 > 1:15:43Get a taxi to follow that girl. She'll lead us to Hannay all right.

1:17:01 > 1:17:06- I've got a seat in the stalls. Can I go through?- Very good.
1:17:31 > 1:17:36She's seen him. She's going down to the stalls.
1:17:42 > 1:17:45LAUGHTER
1:18:03 > 1:18:06May I borrow your opera glasses?
1:18:11 > 1:18:14Excuse me. May I take your place?
1:18:14 > 1:18:19- He's up in that box! - I've been to Scotland Yard.
1:18:19 > 1:18:23- Nothing's been stolen from the Air Ministry.- But those men said...
1:18:26 > 1:18:29We could take him now, sir.
1:18:29 > 1:18:33What'll you do? Nothing's missing. There's an end to it.
1:18:38 > 1:18:42MR MEMORY'S THEME TUNE PLAYS
1:18:45 > 1:18:50Hear that tune? It's the damn thing I couldn't get out of my head!
1:18:50 > 1:18:55I heard it at that music hall! Annabella...!
1:18:55 > 1:19:01Ladies and gentlemen, with your kind attention and permission,
1:19:01 > 1:19:07I present to you one of the most remarkable men in the world.
1:19:07 > 1:19:14- It's the same little man! - < Every day he commits to memory 50 new facts and remembers them!
1:19:14 > 1:19:19< Facts from history, geography, newspapers,
1:19:19 > 1:19:26< from scientific textbooks. Millions of them. Test him, ladies and gentlemen.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29< Ask him any question!
1:19:29 > 1:19:36Of course no papers are missing! All the information is inside Memory's head!
1:19:36 > 1:19:45- I don't understand.- He memorised the details and they were replaced before anyone found out!
1:19:45 > 1:19:51- He's here to take Memory away! - But surely... - There are some gentlemen here, sir.
1:19:51 > 1:19:54A question, please.
1:19:54 > 1:19:57When did Florence Nightingale die? >
1:19:57 > 1:20:02- Are you Richard Hannay? - There's something you have to know!
1:20:02 > 1:20:08- That man...- You don't want to spoil people's entertainment.
1:20:08 > 1:20:11What are The 39 Steps?
1:20:11 > 1:20:15Come on, answer! What are The 39 Steps?
1:20:15 > 1:20:22The 39 Steps is an organisation of spies collecting information for...

1:20:57 > 1:21:01- Take it easy now. - I'm all right...
1:21:01 > 1:21:04Get the girls on!
1:21:05 > 1:21:06The girls!
1:21:06 > 1:21:12Mr Memory, what was the secret formula you were taking away?
1:21:13 > 1:21:16Would it be all right telling you, sir?
1:21:16 > 1:21:24- It was a big job to learn it. I don't want to throw it all away. - It's quite all right.
1:21:24 > 1:21:29The first feature of the new engine is its increased compression ratio,
1:21:29 > 1:21:36represented by R - 1/R to the power of gamma. R represents the ratio of compression and gamma...

1:21:42 > 1:21:45Dimensions of cylinders as follows.
1:21:45 > 1:21:52This device renders the engine completely silent. Am I right, sir?
1:21:52 > 1:21:58- Quite right, old chap. - Thank you, sir. Thank you...
1:21:58 > 1:22:02I'm glad it's off my mind at last.
