0:00:55 > 0:00:59'Attention, please. Flight 65 from Washington arriving.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Why doesn't he switch on his landing lights? Look at that.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20They're missing the field. They're crash-landing.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Start her up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30'Emergency, clear the field, emergency, clear the field.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:33THEY ALL GASP
0:01:36 > 0:01:39SIRENS WAIL
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Let's get over there.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42SIRENS WAIL
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Oh, please take me with you! My father's on that plane.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm sorry, so are a lot of other people.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12TYRES SCREECH
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Nobody aboard. Well, how do you like that?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It ain't so, it couldn't happen.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Get outside, have this crate surrounded. Come with me.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Automatic control, that's how she came in on the beam.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40How about the log? No entry since the last stop. Any signs of violence?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44No. Maybe it was gremlins. I've been reading and...
0:02:44 > 0:02:51Bates! Not a word about this to anybody until we get a line on it. We'll search this plane.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Seven, red.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12What number shall I bet on now, honey?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'd say 19, yes, definitely 19.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22Place your bets. I'll take 22. No more bets. You wanted to know.
0:03:22 > 0:03:2619, red, 19 the winner. You see?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Place your bets. Thanks, partner, I'm sorry you're not having better luck. Maybe the wheel's crooked.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42Here, people don't just say what they think unless they don't mean it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I'll change all that. I'm a missionary from Texas.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50TANNOY: 'Ladies and gentlemen, sorry, folks - briefing.'
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Put your chips out of sight, please. Game's closed.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00EXCITED CHATTER
0:04:06 > 0:04:10What's it all about? It's a raid. A police raid!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13A police raid, my name in the papers, what'll I do? Leave.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Sorry, dear, I can't be caught here. But, Jimsy...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19'Your attention, please.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Just remain calm, it's a little visit from the police. Enjoy yourselves, drinks are on the house.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34We're from headquarters. Sorry, sir, this is a private club. Members only.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38We want to have a talk with the Falcon, Tom Lawrence.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43The posse's on your trail, let's get out of here! Try this caviar.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Evening, Lawrence. Hello, Timothy. It's a mistake, he promised he'd keep out of jams.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Permit me. Inspector Donovan, Miss Bonnie Caldwell.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56One of the first families in Texas. Glad to know you, Sheriff.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'm a police inspector. I want to talk to you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06My future husband is not to have any secrets from me. Congratulations.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Who did the proposing? Well, I happened to save her father's life.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16A Texan never forgets. The least I can do is marry the gentleman! Care for a drink? A beer, thanks.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Waiter? Two champagne cocktails and a beer.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Yes, sir. Look at this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Plane lands without... Without pilot or passengers.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Stanley H Palmer is missing. A plane load of people missing?
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Not quite. Most passengers were accounted for - they were left stranded at the last stopover.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Somebody rustled that plane? Yes.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46While they're out stretching, the plane takes off, they don't know who's on it. So we come in.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50They radio the airport, the airport... Sorry, chief.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56Later, they count noses and three men are missing - the pilot, Palmer and his assistant, Fairchild.
0:05:56 > 0:06:03So they figure they're on the plane. But when the plane lands, it's empty.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07They're not on board. Weird, ain't it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Extraordinary. Well, why come to me?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Read down further. "Are the police baffled by gremlins?"
0:06:15 > 0:06:18You must have your usual ingenious theory?
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Could be some armed men sneak on the plane, force the pilot to take off,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27they rob Palmer and Fairchild, make them jump, set automatic control...
0:06:27 > 0:06:31And the hold-up men have parachutes. I know it sounds cock-eyed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Intriguing, though. But not for you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38You promised you'd give up crime and all other girls. You heard the lady.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, OK, I really can't blame you, I guess.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Just another one of those headaches. Goodbye, Sheriff.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Sorry to break up your little picnic.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Why should I, a settled responsible citizen, want to do his job for him?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13We'll never make a go of it if you keep rushing off on adventures.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I should say not. Well, come pick some more numbers.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Will you excuse me for a minute? I have to get some cigarettes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Excuse me, will you?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41May I be of assistance? Yes. I'm looking for Mr Lawrence, the Falcon.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh. Do you know him?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Not really. I telephoned and was told he was here. Do you know him?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Oh, yes. We're inseparable. What did you want with him?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'm sorry. I must see him alone.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59If you know... I'd better introduce myself.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'm Tom Lawrence. Mr Lawrence. You must help me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:09I've read about all the cases you've solved and I... I'm sorry, I'm Nancy Palmer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Won't you sit down? Thank you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Perhaps you read of my father's disappearance. The mystery plane.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It isn't a mystery any longer. I received this.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Ransom note.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34That's why I'm here, although I'm a stranger. No longer a stranger.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37BONNIE: Good evening!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41My, what a charming cigarette girl you make.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46This is Miss Palmer, whose father disappeared on that plane. Plane?
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Then it was your father who... Oh, I'm sorry. Why didn't you tell me?
0:08:51 > 0:08:58She's trying to persuade me to take on the case. A frightful thing, losing anybody so close.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02But I promised you... Tom, how could you be so selfish?
0:09:02 > 0:09:08If you don't help her, I'll never speak to you again. You're very kind.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Let's get to the airport. I'll look at the plane. I'll get my wrap.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Here, this way. Shouldn't we wait?
0:09:15 > 0:09:21No. Bonnie isn't the diplomatic type. Last time she offered to help, I landed up in jail.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Beg pardon, madam. Something I can do for you? Yes, I wish you'd...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Cash these in for me, please. With pleasure.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Beat it, I've got work to do.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43And you'll do it without my fiance. He isn't here. Now scramoose!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Excuse me. Where I come from, it's ladies first.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53So!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Hello, darling.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oh, I can explain... Start by explaining to me.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Inspector, I'm responsible. I asked him to help.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Oh, yeah. You're Miss Palmer.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12All right, what have we dumb cops overlooked? I'm not sure yet.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18Was the cabin just like this? Yeah, except some stuff we picked up.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24Excuse me. Don't mind me, I'm just from City Hall. Go ahead.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29It's all we've got to go on. Don't touch - there might be fingerprints.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Oh, how silly of me. I'm sorry.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49This stuff doesn't look like much. Butterfingers.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57How about the luggage? Go to HQ if you want to look at that.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01I'll take a look at the luggage compartment.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Thanks. I'll go with you. Oh, no, I shan't be a minute.
0:11:05 > 0:11:12Oh, Mr Lawrence! Don't you worry, honey. You'll get your father back. He's very clever. I'm sure he is.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Mr Lawrence.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Well, can't be we've met. I most certainly would have remembered you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I followed you here. I found this note.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Why is it every beautiful girl I meet is in distress and has a note?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Beautiful? You mean Nancy. I'm Iris Fairchild.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Oh, the other one. Fairchild... The big shot's aide.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'm his niece. I see.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Suppose you tell me how you came by this. It was in Nancy's mailbox.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06I wanted to spare her feelings. You must have known about the first note.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Explain why you brought this to me. My uncle's involved.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I have a right to see how things are handled. Perhaps so. Go on.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Uncle Wally was carrying almost $100,000 in securities for Mr Palmer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The kidnappers were probably tipped off. What makes you think that?
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Nancy's fiance works in her father's office. He knew all about it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33It isn't easy to court the boss's daughter on his salary. I see.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Exactly who is this suspicious fiance? The name is Bonnie.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44I'm supposed to be somebody's fiancee. This is Miss Fairchild.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Another of Mr Palmer's daughters, no doubt. Darling...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Wait a minute. YOU asked me to help.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I'm just trying to please you. I'll do anything you say.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01All right. You promised you'd come horseback riding with me in the park.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'll expect you there tomorrow.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07You know perfectly well I'm frightened to death of horses.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I don't know how to ride. You can learn, starting tomorrow morning.
0:13:13 > 0:13:20Why, Iris, darling! Hello, Nancy. I wasn't going to show you this, but...
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Why, I should be delighted to take you girls home.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Where'd he get that other dame? I think he takes them out of his hat.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47DOORBELL CHIMES
0:13:49 > 0:13:51DOOR OPENS
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Good evening, Miss Iris, Nancy. Any more news of Mr Palmer?
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Nothing yet, Thomas. Nancy, darling, what gives? Why the disappearing act?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Mr Lawrence, this is my fiance, Mr Gibson. How do you do?
0:14:07 > 0:14:12He's consented to help. I appreciate it. Believe me. I believe you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15This is terrible. Have you heard anything new?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Well, I... Only this. Miss Palmer got these this evening.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Thomas told me. At least we know your father's all right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28They want $25,000 before noon tomorrow.
0:14:28 > 0:14:3325,000?! You'll get that from the board. Do they say where to deliver?
0:14:33 > 0:14:38I suggest we discuss it tomorrow. You two get a good night's sleep.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Are you going my way, Gibson? I'll share a cab. I'll get my hat.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47I'm very grateful for all your trouble. It's a pleasure.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53Good night, darling. Good night, dear. Iris. Night. Goodbye, Thomas.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02A gambling club is an odd place to search for a girl like Nancy Palmer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I promised her I wouldn't go there any more.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09One should keep one's promises to one's fiancee. Definitely.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17Courting your employer's daughter. It doesn't look well to be losing money. I know.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24I gave up my job to go to Palmer's war plant. I mean, you're in the confidence of the firm.
0:15:24 > 0:15:30You knew they were carrying a fortune in securities. Iris has been telling you things.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36Nancy and I are getting married. She deserves the best. That's why I gamble.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42If you think I'd put a finger on SH, you're crazy. We're pals.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Handy things, rich fathers.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47All the best families have them.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Ha ha! Can't even run fast! Oh, no? Ha ha!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57HORSE NEIGHS
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Yah!
0:17:08 > 0:17:15Don't think you can get away with this! I thought you were afraid of horses! Bonnie, please be quiet.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21BONNIE: ..Every gal that comes along?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26I don't know what'll happen after we get married!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm busy. What kind of a man are you, anyhow?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32What makes you carry on like this?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Darling... What have you got to say for yourself?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Oh, out hunting clues on horseback?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41What makes you carry on like this?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44HORSE NEIGHS

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Tom!

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Well, here's your antiques shop. 327.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Bonnie, darling, will you please go home?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29No. I want to be sure you're telling me the truth.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33You heard me check with the licence bureau. How do I know who it was?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I don't want you to go into danger.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42You let my horse run away with me while you stood with that...Geranium.
0:18:42 > 0:18:49Iris, and I've yet to see the horse you couldn't manage. Or the man, either. Come along.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Business certainly is booming.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yoo-hoo!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Anybody here?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Reckon not.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Somebody was here.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40Are you looking for anything in particular? We're just browsing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Go right ahead.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Are you the proprietor? I can show you anything you want to see.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Do you run this place alone? Help is hard to get.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59I'm extremely fond of Old Sheffield silver. Have you any?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Only a few pieces. It's very scarce right now.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Well, aren't you going to show them to us?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Sure, miss. It's in the storeroom. Pardon me.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43SHE PLAYS THE GLOCKENSPIEL
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Oh, look, dear, here's a lovely old relic.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05It might look very well on a table just like this... Oh, perhaps you're right, dear.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Good evening. I wasn't expecting anyone this late.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14We were passing and saw the shop was open.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18We couldn't resist these lovely things. I'm proud of my collection.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Take this old duelling pistol.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24There is quite a history connected with it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Nice, isn't it?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35It's nicer in the case. I forgot that appointment with Aunt Belinda!
0:21:35 > 0:21:40She won't mind. She will! We came to get something. Don't let's rush it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:48Quite right, sir. It is never fitting to mar the contemplation of beauty by hurrying. Nicely put.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55The Palmers said it would be a pleasure to do business with you. He used to be a very good customer.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01I understand you've had some correspondence with his family. I sent Nancy some notes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:08They had to do with Kenneth Gibson. He has owed my son a considerable sum of money for some time now.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12A little matter of some bets on horses.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16This is all we have.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I'll take care of it, Evan. You'd better start closing up.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22My son.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30Notice the exquisite lines. You won't find anything to match it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Very nice. But not quite what we're looking for.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Is there anything else you might be interested in? Yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43A body or two. Perhaps even three. I see.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I have here a very fine Egyptian mummy.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53It's an outstanding example of the fifth century BC.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58I'm looking for something American, 20th century, approximately 64.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Let me see. I think I have your catalogue price.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06$25,000, is that right? Correct, sir.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12With such perishable goods, the price is rather high. Of course.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18What guarantee of delivery can you give?
0:23:18 > 0:23:24I'm afraid you'll have to stand on my reputation. I have yet to disappoint a customer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29You can always depend on getting the genuine article here.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I have been fooled only once.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It very nearly cost a man his life.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I see what you mean.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40BANGING ON DOOR
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Open up! Police!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43BANGING ON DOOR
0:23:43 > 0:23:46George, put that away. All right, Father.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm sure I can depend on your discretion.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Open this door! I'd do as he suggests.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Isn't this cosy? Glad to see you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12I've been expecting you, Timothy. What are you doing here?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16There's no law against a couple furnishing their future home.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Have you anything else, Mr Morley? Yes, indeed. Pardon me.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Is it to do with the ransom payment?
0:24:26 > 0:24:33A nursemaid saw the pay-off and a distinguished horseman who sounds like the Falcon.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38She flatters me. Here is something that might interest you, Mr Falcon.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41A very fine antique clock.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44That's rather nice. It's lovely. How much is it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:49$72. $72? If that's too expensive... I ought to arrest the lot of you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Old man Palmer just got home - alive.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Alive? At his house? Headquarters want you to get right up there.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09That merchandise wasn't as perishable as you thought.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12This should have perished years ago.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I tell you I'm all right. This is a lot of silly nonsense.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You'd think I was on my deathbed.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Dad! You've had a shock, more than you realise.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27More than I realise? I lost ten years of my life.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31All the more reason to get things done. I've gotta call the plant.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Dad... Everything's all right, sir.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40I built that business and not by trusting it to the likes of you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41DOG GROWLS
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- The police, Mr Palmer. - About time.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Quiet, Prince.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Can't this wait? He's been through a great deal.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55That's why they're here. This is my friend, Mr Lawrence.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59He's helped us solve the kidnapping. It's not solved yet.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02He's back. But we don't know who kidnapped him.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08Quit talking across me! Would you mind telling us what happened?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12There isn't much to it but it happened pretty fast.
0:26:12 > 0:26:19Fairchild and I didn't bother to get off at the last stop and just before we were due to start,
0:26:19 > 0:26:25it was late and Wally and I were up to our ears in paperwork, that darn red tape.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31You'll send verification of contract back to Washington. First thing, SH.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Aren't you going to get out and stretch? Is there time? Sure.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38What do you say? I'd like it fine.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Inside, quick.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50What is this, some kind of a joke? Look, bub,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54the government's got an interest in this, you know.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The Civil Aeronautics Board will hear about this.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Sure. You tell 'em, Mr Fairchild.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05'They knew us all right, but I couldn't peg them.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10'They forced the pilot to take off. We'd been flying ten minutes
0:27:10 > 0:27:16'when they forced us to hand over our money and valuables.'
0:27:21 > 0:27:25He tried to put us in a spin. I set the automatic control.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Briefcase...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Where's the key to this thing?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34OK...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40'I thought that was the end of it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44'But one of them threw a parachute in my lap,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47'and says, "Pop, that's yours."'
0:27:47 > 0:27:51What do I do? You oughta know. You make them for the government.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Wait a minute, boys. I'm not young. I don't know how to make a jump.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Would you rather crack up in a wild plane?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I think your daughter would pay to get you back.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Just count ten, Pop, and pull the ranger.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15PLANE'S ENGINES ROAR
0:28:15 > 0:28:18'You know, it wasn't bad.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20'I went sailing down, all of 5,000 feet.'
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Let me have a cigar, will you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:27What about the kidnappers? They took me to some farmhouse.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32They didn't watch me very close, and that's where they made their mistake.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I'm not as old and decrepit as I look.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Heaven knows what happened to poor Fairchild and that pilot.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44They must have knocked them off. No... Don't you worry, child.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49You'll be just the same to me as Nancy. I'll give you every...
0:28:49 > 0:28:54You'll give me BACK everything. Wally told me.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Forcing him to the wall and offering him that miserable job.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03I never want to see you again as long as I live! Iris, darling.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Golly!
0:29:08 > 0:29:12I'd say 10,000 a year was high wages for that job.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16That's enough. I'll have to ask you all to leave.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You too, Nancy.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27What's with you and Morley? Timothy, you have such a suspicious nature!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Howdy, Sheriff! Did you see Mr Palmer? What did he say?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Did you hear about the ransom notes...?
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Dear me, I've done it again. I get so mad at myself when I do that.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Just buying antiques(!) I knew that nursemaid's story was on the level.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Better have him picked up right away. Who, Sheriff? Morley, you dope!
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Don't start that "Sheriff" stuff! Sorry, chief.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56And it's against the law to withhold information from the police.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00I'm so sorry, honey. It's all right. CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Morley's bound to think I set the police on him.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Papa wants to see you.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I'll see you later, dear.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Both of you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30After you.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35KNOCKING AT DOOR Who is it?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Falcon.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Come in, Falcon. I'm very glad to see you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50I appreciate your coming. Not at all. We couldn't resist your invitation.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56Georgie, put down that gun, I told you to be nice to them.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You told me to bring them, Pop. Sit down here.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05It's no doubt obvious to you that I did not kidnap Mr Palmer.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Of course, those notes are no longer of interest to you.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14Unfortunately, they're extremely valuable to me.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16And to the police. Frankly, yes.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20I never dreamed Mr Palmer was kidnapped. I was shocked.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Young Gibson seemed shocked, too. No doubt. He's a fine lad.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29But just like so many others, he's forced to search for some other means
0:31:29 > 0:31:33of augmenting his income - I've been there myself.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Mr Morley, you can trust me to hold those notes
0:31:37 > 0:31:40until I'm satisfied you have no connection with the case.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Shall we go, darling? My pleasure!
0:31:47 > 0:31:52I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave, unless you have changed your mind
0:31:52 > 0:31:56about those notes. Let me give it to 'im, Papa. Patience, Georgie.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01I'll take them now. You surely don't imagine I'd carry them on me?
0:32:01 > 0:32:05It's the combination of you AND the notes.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09They mean nothing unless you are with them to testify.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14It's up to you, which is, er, shall we say...liquidated.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I see.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Very well. You win.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22They're in her handbag. Get them, Georgie.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26One more step and I'll forget that I'm a lady. Give me that purse.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31You leave me be! Take your hands off me! Leave me alone!
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Well, how do you like that! Looks like the guy doesn't know there's a dim-out.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51There must be some mistake. They are not here.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55..walking along and everything's OK, then the lights...
0:32:55 > 0:32:57HUBBUB FROM OUTSIDE
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I'm afraid my patience is at an end.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11KNOCKING AT DOOR Who is it? Open up, quick!
0:33:13 > 0:33:17There's a crowd of people outside, looking up here.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27Wonder what's the matter with them. Probably just a couple of drunks.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31I didn't think you'd hide behind my apron strings like that! Sshh!
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Nothing to be alarmed about. Stop making me nervous!
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Wait a minute. Look at that! THEY ALL TALK EXCITEDLY
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Warden, this light suddenly came on.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47It's up to you. It's you or those notes.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52I'm sorry. I must have left them in another suit. My tweeds, I think.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Papa, let me handle this. No shooting, with a crowd outside.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59BANGING AT DOOR Open up. Police!
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Watch it. Open up or we'll break it down!
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Break it down anyway! BANGING CONTINUES
0:34:08 > 0:34:13Put that sign out. Don't you know any better? What? Your neon sign!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22How terribly stupid of us.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Of course, warden. We are more than anxious to co-operate.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29That's the guy! There's an alarm out for you!
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I wouldn't do that, sonny.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37That wouldn't be smart.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You're in enough trouble... GUNSHOTS
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Somebody get an ambulance, quick!
0:34:49 > 0:34:54Now, if you two leave me... I can't be responsible, Mr Lawrence.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Please! Yes, you listen to him! I'll drop by this evening and change the dressing.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Thank you, Doctor. Bye. Bye.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Where do you think you're going?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I don't want a bridegroom shot full of holes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15I've got to find out who's behind this. Simple. Ken Gibson.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20With Nancy's father out of the way, he could marry into all that money.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Darling, you could be a detective, in spite of yourself. It's all over.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Police have caught Morley. They can't hold him very long.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33I've got to clear this up, or you will have a husband full of holes.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36This is Mr Lawrence. Is Miss Palmer there?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40She's dining out, sir... Yes... She's with Mr Gibson.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45They're working at the salvage depot on 25th Street. Thank you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Scram! Don't you talk to me like that! Nurse!
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Now, Bonnie, will you please...? You'll catch your death of cold!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Did you want something?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Yes, will you please...?
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Will you please call Mr Lawrence a taxi? Of course.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12I've changed my mind. I think a little fresh air will do you good.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28Lawrence, old boy! We heard you'd been shot. I phoned this morning.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32You know Miss Caldwell. Yes. How are you?
0:36:32 > 0:36:37You remember Mr Gibson? Hello. Howdy. How's your luck been lately?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Ooh, all right, I guess.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Let me give you a hand with that. Thanks...
0:36:44 > 0:36:49So this is where you turn corkscrews into battleships? That's right.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Dad donates the premises. Well, if it keeps Ken out of mischief...
0:36:52 > 0:36:56You admit you're in debt to Morley? Yes, a little.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Why would I want to harm Nancy's father? We went through that.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Sometimes it's what one's forced to do.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Hey, what's this?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Where did this come from? This junk was collected all over the city!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24DOOR SLAMS Nice to see you all working!
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Dad, what are you doing? The doctor said... Sneaked out on him.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Dad, this is Miss Caldwell. How do you do?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Evening, Mr Palmer. Hello, Ken. You remember Mr Lawrence? Sure.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41Say, what are you doing out of bed? Trying to trace this at the moment.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45A lock. What about it? This part was found on the plane.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48This, right here in that bowl.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53I believe Iris brought in that particular batch. Iris?
0:37:53 > 0:37:59Good evening, everybody. Mr Palmer, could I see you a minute? Of course.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I thought you were in the morgue. No. Sorry, Timothy.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Mr Palmer, it's a long shot, but would you recognise these mugs?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Number one, Mr Morley. I couldn't tell much, Inspector,
0:38:11 > 0:38:16but he's not one of them. This fella? He's got a record a mile long.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20No, I don't recognise him either...
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Why are you sneaking away from the police?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I want to talk to someone.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31Donovan has a gift for stifling a conversation.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51Tail those two. Don't let them out of your sight.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Come on! Get going!
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Did that frighten you? Of course. I don't love Buck Thompson,
0:38:59 > 0:39:03but at least he brings me wild flowers and not bullets.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Darling, I promise you, as soon as this is over...
0:39:07 > 0:39:12Oh-oh. Don't tell me, we're being followed. Oh...!
0:39:24 > 0:39:29I need your help... You take this Nasturtium out while I search her apartment.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Or why don't I take her out? Sshh. The name is Iris.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38She's not who I'm interested in. It's her uncle, Wally Fairchild.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42He was on that plane with Palmer. His body hasn't been found yet.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Now, you stay out of sight.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51BUZZER
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Miss Fairchild. Hello. I was hoping you'd be in. I was just leaving.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I shan't keep you long.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33We're doing all we can to find your uncle. Do you want to help? Of course.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Well?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41This turned up in a salvage depot. Really?
0:40:41 > 0:40:46Am I supposed to guess what it is? No, I know it's part of a padlock.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49You're supposed to tell me where it came from.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I'm late now.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57What's all the hurry? I'm going roller-skating. Yes, roller-skating.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Didn't worry long about your uncle.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03This is exercise, not recreation.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09I could do with some exercise. Mind if I join you? It's a public rink.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Why are you suddenly so interested in me?
0:42:07 > 0:42:13Beautiful and mysterious women always interest me. Mysterious? And unpredictable.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18For instance, pitching into the Palmers. Anyone would do the same.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I thought Nancy was your best friend.
0:42:21 > 0:42:28We were practically raised together. Nancy's had everything. I've always played second fiddle.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33That goes for Ken Gibson too, doesn't it? Yes.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39I met him three years ago. We were practically engaged. What was that?
0:42:39 > 0:42:43I met him three years ago. We were practically engaged.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Then along comes Nancy with her furs...
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You're better off without him.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55A girl as lovely as you are is bound to meet someone more suited to her.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Like you, for instance. You could do worse!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02TANNOY: 'Clear the floor, please, for Crack The Whip.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05'Clear the floor, please.'
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Game? Game?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17That did it.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Why didn't you hang on?
0:43:51 > 0:43:57Bates. Don't you think you're overdoing your shadowing a bit?
0:43:57 > 0:44:03What happened to the Texas number? You went in with her, and came out with this one.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06That's why you were so interested.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17LAUGHTER
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Sorry.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Bates, that's the Fairchild girl.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35Dangerous character. She's carrying a gun. That's against the law.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Hey, you!
0:44:43 > 0:44:46What are you doing? Let's see your purse.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50For what? Don't give me that. You're under arrest.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Take your hands off me. That isn't mine.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57I'll let you go when you explain why you're...
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Hey! That's my gun.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04LAUGHTER
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Any luck?
0:45:30 > 0:45:34Look, I've searched high, I've searched low.
0:45:34 > 0:45:39There's no money, briefcase, or parachute. I think this is a trick.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42You've got to get out of here. She's on her way.
0:45:42 > 0:45:48If you want to make dates with your lady friends, just say so. I shan't be a minute.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Here. You sneak out as soon as I get in. Oh, all right.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08I admire your nerve, coming back here. I could have you arrested.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10But you wouldn't. Wouldn't I?
0:46:15 > 0:46:18I told you I'd call the police and I mean it.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21Now leave me alone and get out.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Now will you get out of here?
0:46:39 > 0:46:43What are they? They seem to be the missing securities.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48How did they get in here? You should be able to tell me.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I told you they'd be here, Chief.
0:46:53 > 0:46:59Timothy! You've saved me a trip to headquarters. I was just going to bring these in to you.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02No doubt. What have you got there?
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Palmer's securities.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09Where did you find them? In that vase.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12We saw your sugar pie breezing out. Well?
0:47:12 > 0:47:17I never saw them before. Aren't these the securities? I don't know.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21Suppose you haven't seen your uncle, either? No.
0:47:21 > 0:47:28Swell lay-out. It lives up to that 10,000 a year. There's a Romney here and a Bouche.
0:47:28 > 0:47:33You and your night schools. So these just hid themselves, did they?
0:47:33 > 0:47:39Got to hand it to you, Falcon, you had the right dope. Very generous of you. As it happens, I was wrong.
0:47:39 > 0:47:44I've come to know this lady rather well and she's completely blameless.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Everyone knows her uncle was Palmer's stooge.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52They hired these men to swipe the plane, snatch Palmer...
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Grab her! Hold her, Bates!
0:47:57 > 0:48:00I don't know anything about it!
0:48:00 > 0:48:03You're a fine judge of character(!)
0:48:03 > 0:48:07Now I've just got to identify these securities.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Bates, on your feet.
0:48:11 > 0:48:16Hello, SH. Glad to see you back. Thanks. Glad to be back.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18You got a cigarette? I think I...
0:48:18 > 0:48:22Dad! Dr Bradley ordered you to stay home.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29I knew I shouldn't have let you work here. I marrying Ken, remember.
0:48:29 > 0:48:34You don't exactly overpay him. I'm not so sure about that either.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Mr Palmer? This just came.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Looks like the government contract's going through.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44That makes everything perfect.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47What about Fairchild? He worked for it too.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49I'm sure they'll find him.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Mr Palmer, there's some people to see you.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55Bye. I'll be over tonight.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Hello, everybody! Hello, Mr Lawrence.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02Mighty efficient, Mr Palmer. He wouldn't let US through.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Rules is rules.
0:49:04 > 0:49:09Gus, I owe you 50c. Dad, when will you learn to carry money with you?
0:49:09 > 0:49:13What's the good news? It isn't good. These turned up.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15At Fairchild's apartment.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Those are my securities. Don't jump to conclusions.
0:49:20 > 0:49:25The guy was a double-crosser. He wanted the whole works for himself.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29That's not true. The case is closed. All except making the arrest.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34Police headquarters, for Mr Palmer. They want me?
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Palmer speaking.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Fairchild?
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Oh...
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Yes, of course. Dad, what's wrong?
0:49:51 > 0:49:53What's happened to Wally?
0:49:53 > 0:49:57State troopers found his body. Pilot's too.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Please, dear. I'm sorry, Iris.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06SHE SOBS
0:50:07 > 0:50:12I get suspect number one lined up and he turns up in a morgue.
0:50:12 > 0:50:19I'd like an interview with Morley in his cell. You've just got to get him in his cell. His lawyer sprung him.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Insufficient evidence.
0:50:22 > 0:50:27Can you recall the exact time you received the first ransom note?
0:50:27 > 0:50:33It was about half an hour before I met you. Ten o'clock. Why, do you suppose Morley is guilty after all?
0:50:33 > 0:50:40He knows more than he's told. He'd have kept the securities if he'd had them.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Now we have to count Fairchild out.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Hey, that Iris dame. Where is she?
0:50:45 > 0:50:48She was over by the car.
0:50:48 > 0:50:53She won't get far. Have a heart. Let her have a few minutes.
0:50:53 > 0:51:00I've got my job to do. Your big Irish heart isn't going to let you torment that poor girl now.
0:51:00 > 0:51:05Oh, she's probably just gone home anyway. That's where I'm going.
0:51:05 > 0:51:10We'll let you know if anything develops. Going uptown? No, thanks.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38SHE GASPS
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Why are you here? Looking for you. How did you know?
0:51:42 > 0:51:46I guessed what an unpredictable girl would do.
0:51:46 > 0:51:51Find a briefcase? No. Then we may as well join forces.
0:52:00 > 0:52:08You lied about that broken lock. I didn't know what Uncle Wally had done. I was trying to protect him.
0:52:08 > 0:52:13Where did you find it? Right here. I was collecting scrap metal.
0:52:13 > 0:52:18I recognised it when you showed it to me. I knew Morley was involved.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Unfortunately, people sometimes know too much.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27I've been expecting you. I promised my boys I'd receive you properly.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30I don't like to disappoint.
0:52:32 > 0:52:38It's very gratifying to see such family devotion. I'm afraid you'll have to make an exception.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43You should be more careful of the company you keep.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48No need for that. Tell us what you know, you'll be in the clear.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52I know what I read in the papers. You read it, then sent the notes?
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Your first note was received at ten o'clock.
0:52:55 > 0:53:00The papers came out after 11. You'll have to do better than that.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02You don't realise the position you are in.
0:53:02 > 0:53:03SHE SCREAMS
0:53:03 > 0:53:05GUNSHOT
0:53:12 > 0:53:13GUNSHOT
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Did you see who it was? No.
0:53:26 > 0:53:33Somebody's anxious to kill you. They weren't shooting at me. It's Morley they were after.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57He's gone.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04I think I know where.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Very well, sir. I'll tell him.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Dad, we're playing no trumps.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26Oh, there ought to be a rule against bidding it.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30There's a gentleman here to see Mr Gibson. Thank you, Thomas.
0:54:30 > 0:54:36Ken? I wish he'd stay put. Are we going to play bridge or aren't we?
0:54:36 > 0:54:40- Did you call me, Nancy? - Somebody's here to see you.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44Kindly get rid of him. Who'd know I was here?
0:54:44 > 0:54:48How do I know? Will you deal the next one for me?
0:54:48 > 0:54:50Of course. Will you have coffee?
0:54:50 > 0:54:54No, thank you. Yes, you will. You're not going to waste it!
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Can't talk here. Come upstairs.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23DOORBELL CHIMES
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Good evening, Miss Iris.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Where is everybody? In the card room.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Shall I announce you? No, thank you.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06I'll join you in a moment.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14HE LAUGHS
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Hello, Iris. Iris, darling!
0:56:18 > 0:56:23I hope you don't mind. Not at all, my dear. Sit down.
0:56:23 > 0:56:28Take Gibson's hand. Thank you, but I don't feel up to it.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52There's someone on the stairs. It's Morley.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Inspector Donovan, please.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59Timothy? This is Lawrence. I'm at the Palmer home.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02There'll be another murder soon.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05'Murder? How do you know?...'
0:57:33 > 0:57:35The old boy's den? Yes.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44DOG GROWLS
0:57:44 > 0:57:48Hello, Prince. DOG GROWLS
0:57:48 > 0:57:50Easy, boy. He won't make friends.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53Nonsense, all dogs will.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56DOG BARKS Except him.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00Prince! What's the trouble? DOG KEEPS ON BARKING
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Looking for something to read? Yes!
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Help yourself. I wanted that one, but...
0:58:15 > 0:58:17It's all right, Prince.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25Thank you. Come on, Prince.
0:58:30 > 0:58:31DOOR SHUTS
0:58:38 > 0:58:39KNOCK ON DOOR
0:58:46 > 0:58:48Nice going, Iris. Thank you.
0:59:00 > 0:59:04Shakespeare never wrote this many plays.
0:59:18 > 0:59:23Wally's briefcase! You knew it was here. I hoped it hadn't been destroyed.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32Letters, specifications...
0:59:32 > 0:59:35More specifications. Contract.
0:59:38 > 0:59:42Government questionnaire of some sort.
0:59:42 > 0:59:46That's odd. It's Mr Palmer's handwriting.
0:59:46 > 0:59:50He seldom writes anything himself. They seem to be routine questions.
0:59:50 > 0:59:55Johnson Gordon Company, owner - Stanley Harris Palmer!
0:59:55 > 1:00:03Wally tried to prove that for years. What?
1:00:03 > 1:00:07Johnson Gordon froze them out. My uncle never got over that.
1:00:07 > 1:00:13He suspected always that Palmer had used this company to squeeze him out.
1:00:13 > 1:00:18Iris, you've hit it. I see what must have happened on that plane.
1:00:18 > 1:00:22Palmer remained on board, all right. But alone.
1:00:22 > 1:00:26The pilot came back and stopped to speak to him.
1:00:26 > 1:00:31Aren't you going to get out? No, thanks. Government questionnaire.
1:00:38 > 1:00:41Back so soon, Wally? We'd better do that questionnaire.
1:00:41 > 1:00:47No need for you to bother. Not having any secrets from me, are you, SH?
1:00:47 > 1:00:51Course not. Just the usual red tape.
1:00:51 > 1:00:56Before the government will award me that contract, they want everything.
1:00:56 > 1:01:01Maybe I can help you with it. I told you I'd take care of it. I know.
1:01:03 > 1:01:08Johnson Gordon Company. Owner, Stanley Harris Palmer.
1:01:08 > 1:01:11You own it and used it to freeze me out.
1:01:11 > 1:01:16I made it up to you! By giving me a job as a glorified office boy.
1:01:16 > 1:01:23That's confidential for the government! The courts won't be interested where it came from.
1:01:28 > 1:01:33I've been willing to take it from you for years. You won't stop me.
1:01:37 > 1:01:41What's the matter with you? Have you lost your mind?
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Wally! Stop it!
1:01:43 > 1:01:44GUNSHOT
1:01:48 > 1:01:50Wally?
1:01:50 > 1:01:52Wally!
1:01:56 > 1:01:58He forced the pilot to take off.
1:01:58 > 1:02:02Some time later, Palmer quit the plane.
1:02:02 > 1:02:08He had a demonstration parachute. He landed with that after he dumped the bodies.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12Then he hid out with Morley, where he lost that lock. Yes.
1:02:12 > 1:02:16He might have gotten away with it, were it not for Morley's greed.
1:02:16 > 1:02:20He couldn't resist trying to get extra money.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23Palmer tried to kill Morley tonight. Yes.
1:02:23 > 1:02:28When a man like Palmer kills, he'll do almost anything to protect himself.
1:02:28 > 1:02:33His first mistake was when he didn't get the key to this.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36Wally wouldn't have broken open his own briefcase.
1:02:36 > 1:02:40Or plant the securities in his own apartment.
1:02:40 > 1:02:44You knew it was Palmer all along. It was just a guess.
1:02:44 > 1:02:49I've wondered ever since he told us he'd been robbed on the plane.
1:02:49 > 1:02:52He never carries any money with him.
1:03:03 > 1:03:05Ken! Help me get him to that chair.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12Morley?
1:03:12 > 1:03:17Yeah. Came to put the bee on me for some money I owed his son.
1:03:17 > 1:03:22That's what he said. I found out he was after Nancy's father.
1:03:22 > 1:03:26We had a fight. I don't know what he hit me with,
1:03:26 > 1:03:29but...from then on, I draw a blank.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34Look after him. Lock that door after me.
1:04:21 > 1:04:23PALMER: Get him, Prince.
1:04:23 > 1:04:26MORLEY: Please help me!
1:04:26 > 1:04:28PRINCE GROWLS Help, please!
1:04:28 > 1:04:31Take him off. Help! Take him away.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34Please help me!
1:04:37 > 1:04:38SHE SCREAMS
1:04:39 > 1:04:42Open up! Police!
1:04:50 > 1:04:51Don't!
1:04:51 > 1:04:54THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
1:04:54 > 1:04:56Stop it. Prince, come here.
1:05:00 > 1:05:00Are you badly hurt?
1:05:00 > 1:05:02Are you badly hurt? GUNSHOT
1:05:03 > 1:05:06Stay with Morley.
1:05:10 > 1:05:11Palmer.
1:05:14 > 1:05:17I had to. He'd have killed us all.
1:05:25 > 1:05:30Tom, I didn't want to tell you till now, but I'm leaving for good.
1:05:30 > 1:05:33For good?
1:05:33 > 1:05:39Oh. I thought it all over, and I'm sorry, darling, but I'd make a much better wife for Buck Thompson.
1:05:42 > 1:05:44He sent for me.
1:05:46 > 1:05:52Don't you see, this life isn't mine and no other kind is yours.
1:05:52 > 1:05:59Well, I won't try to dissuade you. Your happiness is all that matters.
1:06:00 > 1:06:04Goodbye, darling. Good luck, always.
1:06:08 > 1:06:10Goodbye, sugar pie.
1:06:14 > 1:06:18So a dame gave the great Falcon the air.
1:06:18 > 1:06:23Remembering her will always help. He travels fastest who travels alone.
1:06:23 > 1:06:29From now... Mr Falcon, you once said if I needed help, I could call you.
1:06:29 > 1:06:33It all happened down at our school. A teacher was killed
1:06:33 > 1:06:40and we girls are all under suspicion. It's worse for me - my family's away and I'm all alone.
1:06:40 > 1:06:45If I don't find out what's happened, I don't know what I'll do.
1:06:45 > 1:06:50Hey! There's a law against sending phoney telegrams.
1:06:50 > 1:06:52"Sugar pie"!
1:06:52 > 1:06:58TANNOY: 'Attention, please. Flight number 74 for Chicago now leaving at Gate 3.'
