0:01:36 > 0:01:38SHIP'S HORN

0:01:42 > 0:01:43What's your hurry, Chief?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Going someplace, Mr Templar?

0:01:45 > 0:01:46I beg your pardon?

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oh, now don't be giving us that.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50And don't try and say you ain't Simon Templar.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, suppose I content myself with saying nothing.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56After all, you gentlemen began the conversation.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Yeah, and we're gonna finish it, too.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58At headquarters.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00And this is one time you ain't gonna be pulling

0:02:00 > 0:02:01any fancy didos.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Fernack's got you dead to rights for murder.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Oh, Fernack.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07All right. Well, what about my luggage?

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Customs inspection.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Oh, it'll be taken care of.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11That's very kind of you.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, you won't go quiet.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Fernack said to be gentle,

0:02:20 > 0:02:21but you asked for it.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Hey, police!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Stop that man! - Stop that man!

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Lady-lady, please!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36She's all ready, Doc? What time?

0:02:36 > 0:02:37I see. Thank you.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Haven't you heard from Brady yet? - No, sir.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54But that boat docked an hour ago!

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Maybe it was late.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57No, it wasn't!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the Saint pulled

0:02:59 > 0:03:02one of his shenanigans and gave those boys the slip.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03Hello, Inspector.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20DISTANT WHISTLING

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Simon!

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Hello, Henry.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26How did you get here?

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Through the window.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30And what happened to those two men I sent after you?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32They're probably looking for a good locksmith.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Henry, you're slipping -

0:03:34 > 0:03:36accusing me of murder so that you can fake an arrest

0:03:36 > 0:03:38is hardly worthy of the Fernack I once knew.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Now, see here -

0:03:39 > 0:03:40I can remember you when you were subtle.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I suppose the advancing years take their toll on the best of us.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Tie that for me like a good chap, will you?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Now then. What's on your mind?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Well, Simon, I... I'm in a jam.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56That's getting to be rather a chronic condition with you, isn't it?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Why are you losing your job this time?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I am not losing my job.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I find myself faced with the necessity

0:04:02 > 0:04:05of refusing to do a favour for a man

0:04:05 > 0:04:06who once practically saved my life.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09So you want my help, eh? All right, Henry.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Which section of the penal code do you want me to violate?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Aw, I wouldn't ask you to do anything illegal.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15You know better than that.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's just that I can't accommodate my friend

0:04:17 > 0:04:19with the official services of the department.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Now look here, there's his picture.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Chris and I were in the same outfit

0:04:23 > 0:04:24in the First World War.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Neither here nor there how he saved my life, but he did.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Now he's in trouble.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, that's a perfectly natural consequence of rescuing you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Oh, stop joking.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35After the war, Chris went back to the old country

0:04:35 > 0:04:36and went into the printing business,

0:04:36 > 0:04:38and he built up a good-sized fortune.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now the Second World War comes along and knocks him back on his heels. Too bad.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Not at all! He managed to save almost 200,000.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48But the trouble is, he had difficulty getting it out of the country.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50There are plenty of ways of doing that.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Oh, he did it all right. He's here, and that's where you come in.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Chris' brother is stopping at the Belden house.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58His name is Peter Johnson.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Now, I want you to accompany him to Palm Springs -

0:05:00 > 0:05:02as bodyguard.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03He's leaving on the train tonight

0:05:03 > 0:05:04to meet Chris' daughter.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06But my dear Henry, if your Mr Peter Johnson

0:05:06 > 0:05:08is carrying 200,000 in cash,

0:05:08 > 0:05:10you better send him in an armoured truck.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, it isn't in cash. It's in postage stamps.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Well, then you'll need two armoured trucks.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17No, no. There are only three stamps.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Newly discovered Guiana penny stamps of 1856.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Chris paid 65,000 apiece for them.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Peter smuggled them out of the country in a locket.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Were they smuggled into America?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, no, no, they were declared.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33But they were smuggled out of the old country,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36which gives the transaction a sort of international aspect

0:05:36 > 0:05:38that just puts it out of bounds for a city police department.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Simon, you've just got to help me.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42I don't know.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Of course... it would be dangerous.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Peter was safe enough until he reached New York yesterday,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53but...in 24 hours,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57two attempts were made on his life.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00They say it's very lovely in Palm Springs this time of year.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Good boy!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Get me Peter Johnson at the Belden house.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06The Saint had his gang with him.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07We were slugged, and then -

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Chief, we know just where to find him.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11So do I.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12- Where? - Where?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Hey, you're under arrest!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Give them the key, Simon.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Oh, I'm so sorry. I seem to have lost it.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Good-bye, Henry.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23Good-bye, gentlemen.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well, you better go down to the police garage and borrow a file.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31When you get those things off, use it to sharpen your wits.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00SOUNDS OF UNLOCKING

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Mr Templar?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yes. Inspector Fernack said you'd be expecting me.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Please come in.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Thank you.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I believe there's a little matter with some postage stamps.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16A little matter? Ah, yes.

0:07:16 > 0:07:21Three stamps, each more valuable than diamonds or rubies.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23- You have them here? - Yes.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Ah, Mr Templar, what kind of a country is this?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29In one day, I might have been killed twice.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's a very nice country, really.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Of course, there are some citizens who carry their cupidity

0:07:33 > 0:07:35to unpleasant extremes,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37but I think your opinion of America would improve

0:07:37 > 0:07:40if you allowed me to undertake all further risks.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42You mean, give YOU the stamps?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Place them in my care until we reach Palm Springs.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Perhaps it might be better.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Not to protect my life, you understand,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52but so you can deliver the stamps to Elna

0:07:52 > 0:07:54if anything happens to me.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Elna, your niece?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yes. She is in Palm Springs.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Wait. I'll get the stamps.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Just a moment, please.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37GUNSHOT

0:08:55 > 0:08:57GUNSHOT

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Get me Inspector Fernack at police headquarters.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Hello, Henry?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39You better come over to your friend's hotel right away.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42You may have to arrest me for murder after all.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47No, I won't have to arrest you this time.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50It's pretty clear just what happened.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51I wish you'd got a good look at that fella.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I think I can recognise him if I see him again.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57You see, my ring came into rather violent contact with his face,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00so he'll have a bit of a scar over his left eye.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I can't go around town arresting every man with a scar over his left eye.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06No, we each have a job now:

0:10:06 > 0:10:07you catch the murderer,

0:10:07 > 0:10:10and I'll deliver the stamps to Elna Johnson in Palm Springs.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13You mustn't do that! If you leave town, the murderer may follow you.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15That'll take him right out of my jurisdiction.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17That would seem to be a bit of a problem for you, Henry.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'm leaving for Palm Springs in the morning.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21And if the murderer follows,

0:10:21 > 0:10:24I'll try to see that he runs afoul of the law.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25If you want to get in touch with me,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'll be at the Twin Palms. So long, Henry.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Ah! My inseparable friends.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43That guy just ain't human.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Did you ever see a Saint that was?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I've never seen a Saint.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Or...have I?

0:11:26 > 0:11:28I beg your pardon.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Those things seldom work. Try this.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Thank you.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Here's your pen. - Eh?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04I was engrossed in an article.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Yes, it, uh... looks very interesting. - Yes.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Well, uh...

0:12:12 > 0:12:13won't you sit down and have a drink?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16I'd love it, if you'll excuse me for a moment.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Oh, of course.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Did I keep you waiting?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I was afraid you'd changed your mind.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39No, I never do that.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41That confirms my first opinion of you.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yes?

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Now then. Don't you think we should introduce ourselves?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm Margaret Forbes.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Miss or missus?

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Miss Forbes. And don't laugh - Yaphank, New York.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- I'm as solemn as an owl. - My name is -

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Simon Templar, sometimes known as the Saint.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, I do read the newspapers, you know,

0:13:59 > 0:14:03and that ring isn't exactly inconspicuous.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07I must remember to throw it away. It has a habit of becoming inconvenient.

0:14:07 > 0:14:07Scotch and soda.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09And mine with plain water.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I've heard you're a very dangerous man, Mr Templar.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14That depends upon the point of view.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Now, in your case -

0:14:15 > 0:14:17I'll form my own point of view,

0:14:17 > 0:14:18after I've known you a little longer.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Oh, I see.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Tell me...are you really a criminal,

0:14:23 > 0:14:25or are you the impossibly gallant character

0:14:25 > 0:14:27the newspapers describe:

0:14:27 > 0:14:30sort of a modern Robin Hood, always fighting for the underdog,

0:14:30 > 0:14:32even opposing the law to do it when it becomes necessary?

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Let us say that there are two schools of thought upon the subject.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37But for the moment, whatever my profession,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41I'm on my way to Palm Springs for what I hope will be a pleasant couple of weeks.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Palm Springs? Don't tell me.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45You don't mean -

0:14:45 > 0:14:47I've wired for accommodations at the Twin Palms.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50I could think of an excellent quotation about star-crossed lovers.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53By a strange coincidence, I shall be at the Twin Palms, too.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Oh, that's marvellous. Business or pleasure?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Until I met you... business.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00How sweet of you.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Good evening.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Good evening. Miss Margaret Forbes.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Oh, yes, Miss Forbes.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28We have a very nice bungalow for you.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34We'll meet at breakfast, then?

0:15:34 > 0:15:35Yes, at 10:00.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Good night. - Good night.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Oh, how do you do, Mr Templar?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44We have been expecting you.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46So you're the man they call the Saint,

0:15:46 > 0:15:47the modern Robin Hood.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Really, I'm a remarkably bad shot with a bow and arrow

0:15:50 > 0:15:52and I've never tasted venison in my life.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Uh, yes, sir.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56I hope you'll find everything satisfactory, sir.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm sure I will.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Pearly?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Hi.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Hello!

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well, upon my soul, if it isn't Pearly Gates.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Hey, look, Saint,

0:16:23 > 0:16:24not Pearly anymore.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Clarence Gates, house detective,

0:16:27 > 0:16:28so don't try no rough stuff.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31My dear Pearly, with you enforcing the law,

0:16:31 > 0:16:34I shall exercise the greatest circumspection.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Does that mean you'll be good?

0:16:35 > 0:16:36It means, I wouldn't even be guilty

0:16:36 > 0:16:38of parking near a fireplug.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39OK, OK.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40Hey, what are you doing down here?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Come along to my bungalow and I'll explain it.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Oh, I-I can't now, I, uh -

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I got to make a report to the chief of police.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'll see you in a half an hour, though.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49- That's a date. - Hey!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52In the meantime, no criminology.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, come in, Clarence. Come in.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Well, let's have it.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24What have you been up to?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Chief, I've been so good it's been monogamous.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28In bed every night at 10:00?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30All except once.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31I had a little headache one night

0:17:31 > 0:17:33and I went to bed at half past 9:00.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Anything to drink?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Couple of malted milks,

0:17:37 > 0:17:39without eggs.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Only three more months, Clarence, any you'll be off probation.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Keep up the good work.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Sure will.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Every time I think of the 10 years

0:17:46 > 0:17:47they could have given me, I get the creeps.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Well, I'm glad to see you appreciate

0:17:49 > 0:17:51the opportunity to go straight.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Now tell me, anything going on over at the Twin Palms?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's as quiet as a tombstone.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Any suspicious characters? - Not a one.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Oh, no? Well, what about a certain man named Simon Templar, the man they call "The Saint?"

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Oh, him. Well--

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Hey, how'd you know about him?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Things like that are my job,

0:18:06 > 0:18:07and you better make them yours.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Sure, I will, I --

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I met him when he came into the place

0:18:11 > 0:18:12and told him he'd have to behave himself.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15As a matter of fact, I'm going over to his bungalow right now

0:18:15 > 0:18:16and find out what he's doing down here.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17All right.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Keep your eye on him.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20I'll mail your probation report to the judge

0:18:20 > 0:18:21the first thing in the morning.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Gee, thanks, Chief.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25But remember, one slip and you know what happens.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Hello, Pearly. What happened?

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Suppose you tell me.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Give me a minute to think.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21Now look, Saint,

0:19:21 > 0:19:22you give me your promise you won't even

0:19:22 > 0:19:25park by a fireplug, and what gives?

0:19:25 > 0:19:26You ain't in the joint half an hour

0:19:26 > 0:19:27before I find you half-murdered

0:19:27 > 0:19:28and your bungalow burgled.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30I assure you I didn't burgle the bungalow,

0:19:30 > 0:19:33nor half-murder myself.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35But how did you know there were burglars?

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Rudimental, Saint.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37I just figured it out.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Somebody pried a screen off the bedroom window.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41I see.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Now look, Saint,

0:19:43 > 0:19:44I'm on probation, see?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46If I get in any jams, they can slap me in the pen for 10 years.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48I got to clear this case up.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Now the first thing I gotta do is get

0:19:50 > 0:19:51a list of the missing property.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53- There isn't any. - There ain't?

0:19:53 > 0:19:55In the language of the newspapers,

0:19:55 > 0:19:58"the criminals fled without accomplishing their foul purpose."

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Amateurs, huh?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Boy, I bet I could have showed 'em.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Hey, what'd they look like?

0:20:03 > 0:20:04I'm sorry, Pearly, I can't help you.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06They very thoughtfully extinguished the lights

0:20:06 > 0:20:09before bopping me on the bean.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Ain't that just my luck?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I spend all my time loOKing for lost kids

0:20:12 > 0:20:14and old ladies' glasses,

0:20:14 > 0:20:15and the first time there's a real crime,

0:20:15 > 0:20:17there ain't no "corpus delicious."

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I wouldn't lose hope, Pearly.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21In my opinion, this little episode is just

0:20:21 > 0:20:23the first dash of spray in what may turn out

0:20:23 > 0:20:25to be a full-fledged crime wave.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Everything happens to me.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I can see them jail doors now.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31Tell me, do you happen to know anybody

0:20:31 > 0:20:34in Palm Springs by the name of Elna Johnson?

0:20:34 > 0:20:35Sure, she works here,

0:20:35 > 0:20:36gives tennis lessons.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38I thought her family was wealthy.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, it was, but they got blitzkrieged or something.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42She was stranded in america without a dime,

0:20:42 > 0:20:44so she took a job down here.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Hey, what do you want to know for?

0:20:45 > 0:20:49I have a message for her from her father.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Perhaps you can introduce me to her in the morning?

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Sure, she starts giving lessons at 10:00.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Hey, now look, Saint,

0:20:54 > 0:20:56about this here crime wave--

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Don't worry,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59it's on its way.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09- WOMAN: - Hello, Clarence. - Hi.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16- WOMAN: - Hello, Clarence. - Hello.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18- SECOND WOMAN: - Good morning, Mr Gates. - Hi.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21- THIRD WOMAN: - Good morning, Clarence. - Hi.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Hello!

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Hello.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Hello.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54I'll go quiet, but I ain't done nothing.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58What's the idea of going around scaring people?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01I keep forgetting that I'm the law around here.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Hey, where you been at?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'll give you three guesses.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Swimming?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07As you yourself might put it,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09my dear Pearly, rudimental.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Miss Forbes, may I present the Twin Palms

0:22:11 > 0:22:13custodian of law and order

0:22:13 > 0:22:14my old friend, detective Pearly Gates.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- MISS Forbes: - How do you do?

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Hello.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19But the name's really Clarence.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Oh, I think Pearly's much cuter.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22Simon, I'll go change so we can

0:22:22 > 0:22:23have some breakfast, I'm starved.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Do you mind waiting half an hour?

0:22:25 > 0:22:26I have some very important business to attend to.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Yeah, I promised Elna I'd bring you over to the tennis courts.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30She's giving a lesson.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32No, I shan't mind at all.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34All right, see you in 30 minutes then.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Come on, Pearly.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36Clarence!

0:22:36 > 0:22:37You know, the way I figure it,

0:22:37 > 0:22:40them guys that jumped you must be some outside mob,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42maybe from Detroit or Chicago.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43It's too bad you weren't there,

0:22:43 > 0:22:45you might have recognised some old friends.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Yep, maybe.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48However, there's logic in your reasoning.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49I was followed here from New York.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51You was? By who?

0:22:51 > 0:22:52I don't know.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55But whoever it was rifled my compartment in the train.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Frankly, I'll be glad to deliver the stamps to Elna Johnson.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Stamps?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yes, postage stamps. Three of them.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Do you mean, you came all the way--

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Look, Saint, they sell 'em right here

0:23:04 > 0:23:06in a machine in the hotel.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07My dear Pearly, these stamps

0:23:07 > 0:23:10happen to be worth 65,000 apiece.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11Are you kidding?

0:23:11 > 0:23:12No, and neither are the people

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- who are trying to collect those stamps from me.- Jeez!

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Tell me, does Miss Johnson live here at the Twin Palms?

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Yeah.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Yeah, that's her, over there.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22Well...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24she's charming.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Keep your racket back and follow through.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41SHE LAUGHS

0:23:42 > 0:23:44That's all for now, Mr Evans.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48- You're doing splendidly. - Thanks.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Shall we try again after lunch?

0:23:50 > 0:23:51All right, Miss Johnson.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52I'll see you then.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56MISS jOHNSON: Hello.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Elna, this is the Saint.

0:23:57 > 0:23:58How do you do?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I presume that means you're Mr Templar?

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Yes, but don't mind Pearly,

0:24:01 > 0:24:03he seldom concerns himself

0:24:03 > 0:24:04with non-essentials like names.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07I understand you have a message for me from my father.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08More specifically,

0:24:08 > 0:24:10it concerns your Uncle Peter.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11My uncle?

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Well...

0:24:12 > 0:24:14what about Uncle Peter?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16First of all, did you know that he was an American?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18No, I didn't.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Then the news that I have for you is both good and bad.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Poor Uncle Peter.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45And father taking those desperate chances

0:24:45 > 0:24:47trying to send the money over here to me.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well, at least you'll have that.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51But I expect it's poor consolation.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Say, perhaps one day you can get your father over here with you.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58You're very kind.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Doing so much for a complete stranger.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Shall we say that I was merely intrigued

0:25:03 > 0:25:05by the adventurous aspects of the situation,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08and that I'm awfully glad I was.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I suppose there's a safe in the hotel, Pearly.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12The best.

0:25:12 > 0:25:13Then that's the place for the stamps

0:25:13 > 0:25:17until we can arrange for their transportation to Los Angeles.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18All right.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Hello, Miss Johnson.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Hello, Charlie.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Charlie, this is Mr Templar.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Yes, I know. He's the man--

0:25:28 > 0:25:29I have a very valuable object

0:25:29 > 0:25:31belonging to Miss Johnson

0:25:31 > 0:25:33which she wishes to place in the safe.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Yes, sir.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35Is that the valuable object, sir?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Don't let appearances deceive you,

0:25:37 > 0:25:39that locket contains stamps to the value of 200,000.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Well, I'll have to see them before I can give you a receipt.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Of course.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Pearly, I think our crime wave has arrived.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Why do you want to keep blaming him for?

0:25:57 > 0:25:59The guy was only trying to do you a favour.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00That's just what I can't figure out.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Why should he want to do ME a favour?

0:26:02 > 0:26:03My dear Miss Johnson...

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Maybe you wanted to do yourself one.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07After all, a man with your reputation...

0:26:07 > 0:26:10That's the obvious conclusion to jump to,

0:26:10 > 0:26:13if one's suspicions are morbidly athletic.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15But doesn't it occur to you

0:26:15 > 0:26:16that if I had pinched your postage stamps,

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Palm Springs would be about the last place

0:26:18 > 0:26:19in the world I'd be apt to show up.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21I'm sure I don't know.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23I do know one thing.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25My uncle's been murdered, and I've been robbed

0:26:25 > 0:26:28of every cent that my father has left in this world.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29I'm going to take this thing to the police.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Uh-oh, the cops.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Hey, wait a minute. You got me all mixed up.

0:26:33 > 0:26:34What am I?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm afraid we're all a bit confused.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Miss Johnson, will you do one thing for me?

0:26:38 > 0:26:39What?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Give Pearly and me 24 hours

0:26:41 > 0:26:42to recover your stamps.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44If we fail, you can turn me over to the police

0:26:44 > 0:26:46and charge me with the theft.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47How do I know this isn't some sort of a trick

0:26:47 > 0:26:49to give you time to leave town?

0:26:49 > 0:26:50Not with me watching him, he won't.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52I assure you Pearly is a most tenacious watchdog.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56All right. 24 hours.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Now do you see what you done?

0:27:00 > 0:27:01What have I done?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Well, you promised to get the stamps back

0:27:03 > 0:27:05in 24 hours, but you can't,

0:27:05 > 0:27:07so that means we both go to the hoosegow.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08I didn't say that I'd get them back.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10I said that we would.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Now, to be precise, you're going to get them back.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Oh, you mean you know who's got them?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15I haven't the faintest notion.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Oh, now look, Saint. Quit playing games, will you?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Games? That's it, Pearly.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21We're going to play games.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Now, then, I have my wallet in my hip pocket,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm going to close my eyes, and you see if you can get it out.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Now, look, Saint, I think you ought to wear a hat

0:27:28 > 0:27:30when you go out in the sun.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32I am very much in earnest about this. Go on, get it.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33I already got it.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34That's magnificent.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I didn't feel a thing.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39What did you expect? A brisk rubdown? So now what do I do?

0:27:39 > 0:27:40How many people checked in here yesterday?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42The clerk said about 25.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, get a list of all of them,

0:27:44 > 0:27:45men and women alike.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47We're going to have our own personal crime wave, Pearly,

0:27:47 > 0:27:49and you are going to be it.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50I am?

0:27:50 > 0:27:52You are.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54You used to be the smoothest pickpocket in the country,

0:27:54 > 0:27:56and I'm going to see you haven't lost your touch.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Oh, now, look, Saint, I can't go around committing larceny.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Gosh, I wish I'd been a piano tuner

0:28:02 > 0:28:04like my Uncle Bernard.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh?

0:28:15 > 0:28:16That's marvellous.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Yeah, but suppose I get caught at it?

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Pearly, I have the utmost confidence in your ability

0:28:19 > 0:28:21to avoid getting caught.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22But supposing I do?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24It's going to get me 10 years.

0:28:24 > 0:28:25And besides, what's it going to look like?

0:28:25 > 0:28:27A house detective turned dip.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29If anything happens, I'll explain everything.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31As a minion of the law,

0:28:31 > 0:28:32it's your duty to recover stolen property.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Of course, I shall add that your methods of recovering it

0:28:35 > 0:28:37might appear to be a bit peculiar.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Yeah, it's peculiar, all right.

0:28:40 > 0:28:41Look, Saint,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44I want to clear this thing up just as much as you do,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46but why do I got to go around picking people's pockets?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Because the culprit won't dare leave

0:28:48 > 0:28:50the stamps in the hotel safe

0:28:50 > 0:28:53he won't dare leave them in his room unguarded.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Ergo, which means therefore,

0:28:55 > 0:28:58he'll carry them on his person.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01All right, all right, all right.

0:29:01 > 0:29:02Let's see now.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04There's Mr And Mrs James Hogan,

0:29:04 > 0:29:07Mr And Mrs William Ellis, Mr Thomas Flannery.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Hey, that's him right over there.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10Well, what are you waiting for?

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I don't know.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13Well?

0:29:19 > 0:29:20Unh!

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Flannery.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23Well, that's all right.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Oh, you're going to play croquet, I see.

0:29:26 > 0:29:27Yes.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Well, have a good time.

0:29:29 > 0:29:30Thank you.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32That's all right.

0:29:32 > 0:29:33Huh.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Ain't nothing here.

0:29:42 > 0:29:43Well, we better make sure.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47"Terre Haute Bowling Club,

0:29:47 > 0:29:49"Terre Haute Country Club,

0:29:49 > 0:29:51"Terre Haute Elks Club,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53"Terre Haute Kiwanis Club,

0:29:53 > 0:29:55"Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce."

0:29:55 > 0:29:57He must be from Terre Haute.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59I'm afraid so.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Well, carry on.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Huh?

0:30:03 > 0:30:04Get on with your work.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06What do you mean? You ain't coming with me?

0:30:06 > 0:30:08No, I think it's better for you to play a lone hand.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Together, we might arouse suspicion.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38Where'd you get that?

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Off a kid.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well, you told me to search everybody.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44There's a perfectly obvious remark

0:31:44 > 0:31:46about candy and babies,

0:31:46 > 0:31:47which I shall refrain from making.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Are you sure you robbed everybody?

0:31:49 > 0:31:50Yep, all the new guests.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53All except Mr And Mrs John Harper.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Who are they?

0:31:55 > 0:31:56How did you skip them?

0:31:56 > 0:31:57I didn't skip them.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58They checked out an hour after they got here.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59He got a telegram that he was going

0:31:59 > 0:32:01- to be a grandfather or something. - Are you positive?

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Sure, you see I figured

0:32:03 > 0:32:05anybody that checked out might be the guilty party,

0:32:05 > 0:32:07so I checked up on who checked out.

0:32:07 > 0:32:08They was the only ones.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10You think of everything

0:32:10 > 0:32:12when you think.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Now, let's get on with it.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Boy, I never seen so much aspirin in my life.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18You know, half the people down here must have headaches.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20I have a very excellent cure for headaches.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Yeah, what's that?

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Stay sober the night before the morning after.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Oh.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Boy, what won't they think of next?

0:32:30 > 0:32:31Hello.

0:32:31 > 0:32:32Hello?

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Look at that.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37READING LATIN: Hey, what's that?

0:32:37 > 0:32:41It is Latin for Michael Aloysius Finn,

0:32:41 > 0:32:42commonly known as Mickey,

0:32:42 > 0:32:46or in other words, a particularly vicious form of knockout drops.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47One of those, and you go out like a light.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48Here, let's have a look at it.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Mickeys, huh?

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Hey, they can't do that.

0:32:52 > 0:32:53I'll slap them in the clink.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Excelsior.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Excelsior?

0:32:57 > 0:32:59The missing stamps.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00Hey, where'd you get this?

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Huh? Oh, now wait a minute.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, go on, hurry up.

0:33:04 > 0:33:05Gee, you asked me so fast,

0:33:05 > 0:33:07I can't think.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, don't realise what this means?

0:33:09 > 0:33:10If you can remember where you got this pillbox,

0:33:10 > 0:33:12we've got the man who murdered Miss Johnson's uncle.

0:33:12 > 0:33:13Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know,

0:33:13 > 0:33:16but I... oh, gosh, Saint,

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I didn't get a chance to look at the people's faces.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20- I just snitched the stuff and scrammed. - Oh, all right.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22Well, there's only one thing to do now.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Give me the manager.

0:33:26 > 0:33:27Aw, gee, Saint, don't tell him what I've been doing.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Will you please?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Hello, is this the manager?

0:33:31 > 0:33:33Simon Templar speaking.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44I appreciate that you're trying

0:33:44 > 0:33:46to lure the criminal into the open, Mr Templar,

0:33:46 > 0:33:49but I'm just wondering if this is the right way to go about it.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Well, can you suggest a better?

0:33:50 > 0:33:52I can't.

0:33:52 > 0:33:53If you had consulted me before,

0:33:53 > 0:33:54I might have thought of a better plan.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Oh, gosh, Chief, we just wanted you to be in on the pinch.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Most thoughtful of you.

0:33:59 > 0:34:00But all you've done so far

0:34:00 > 0:34:01is throw the hotel into an uproar

0:34:01 > 0:34:03and place Clarence in danger of going

0:34:03 > 0:34:05to the penitentiary.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08I assume full responsibility for that.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10And we're returning all the property.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, all right.

0:34:16 > 0:34:17I'll be there with two of my men.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19Thanks very much.

0:34:27 > 0:34:28I guess that's everything.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29All right.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Parker, tell Callahan to let them in.

0:34:32 > 0:34:33Yes, sir.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34And after the people are in,

0:34:34 > 0:34:35I don't want anybody to enter or leave.

0:34:35 > 0:34:36You stay in here

0:34:36 > 0:34:38and keep Callahan in the hall.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41All right, Callahan, let them in.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43MAN: I hope my wallet's there.

0:34:42 > 0:34:43EVERYONE TALKING AT ONCE

0:34:43 > 0:34:45All right, folks, take it easy.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Don't push, please.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00- GRAVES:- Just a minute. Just a minute!

0:35:00 > 0:35:01Please!

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I am sure all of your lost belongings have been recovered,

0:35:04 > 0:35:06due to the extreme diligence

0:35:06 > 0:35:10of the hotel's house detective, Mr Gates.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13So if you'll pass around the table in single file

0:35:13 > 0:35:15and identify the objects which belong to you,

0:35:15 > 0:35:17you'll be allowed to reclaim them.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Let's start from this end, please.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21WOMAN: This was a gift,

0:35:21 > 0:35:22I wouldn't have lost it for anything.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24- SECOND WOMAN: - Isn't Mr Gates a wonderful detective?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Yes, and just think, he solved a crime wave all by himself.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Oh, here's my watch.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30- GRAVES:- Step right over there, please.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32All right, fine. It's all there? Step over there.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34All right, over there, please.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37It's yours? All right, step right over there, please.

0:35:37 > 0:35:38All right, fine.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Ain't nothing happened yet.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Are all the people here?

0:35:41 > 0:35:42Everybody I robbed.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44We just have to be patient, that's all.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47All right, over there, please.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:35:49 > 0:35:50See what Callahan wants.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54What do you want, Callahan?

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Well, what do you want?

0:36:05 > 0:36:06He's dead, Chief.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09See who's in the hall.

0:36:14 > 0:36:15Take it easy, folks.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Everybody, just step back, please.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18MAN: But, Inspector...

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Take it easy, it's all right now.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Simon, who could have done such a thing?

0:36:22 > 0:36:23I don't know.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26- GRAVES:- Everything will be all right.

0:36:26 > 0:36:27No one in the hall.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29This is all your fault, Templar.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30If I hadn't listened to you--

0:36:30 > 0:36:31If you try looking outside that window,

0:36:31 > 0:36:32you might find a certain object,

0:36:32 > 0:36:34which until a moment ago, was on this table.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Or you might find the footprints of the murderer.

0:36:37 > 0:36:38Take a look, Parker.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40And send for the coroner.

0:36:40 > 0:36:41Nobody leaves this room.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Am I to understand we're all under arrest?

0:36:43 > 0:36:46Now, keep your shirt on. Nobody's under arrest.

0:36:46 > 0:36:47But you're all under suspicion

0:36:47 > 0:36:49until we find out who killed that officer.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50- MISS Forbes: - But that's absurd.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52How could any of us have done it

0:36:52 > 0:36:53when we were all in here?

0:36:53 > 0:36:54The point is that the officer was killed

0:36:54 > 0:36:56merely to create a diversion,

0:36:56 > 0:36:57and during the excitement,

0:36:57 > 0:36:59the murderer's accomplice, who was in this room,

0:36:59 > 0:37:01was able to take a certain object off that table

0:37:01 > 0:37:02and toss it out of the window.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03So the guy could get it, huh?

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Exactly.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07It all sounds very mysterious.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08What object?

0:37:08 > 0:37:09A little box of pills.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12Gee, Saint, that means that maybe there's a murderer

0:37:12 > 0:37:14right here in this room.

0:37:14 > 0:37:15There unquestionably is,

0:37:15 > 0:37:19but not the murderer of our unfortunate policeman.

0:37:21 > 0:37:22There wasn't anything outside the window, Chief.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24But there must have been.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26Maybe there must have been, but there wasn't.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27The ground's soft dirt,

0:37:27 > 0:37:28a flower bed's just been spaded.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31There's not a sign of a footprint.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Well, Mr Templar, what do you make of that?

0:37:33 > 0:37:34The answer's pretty obvious.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36The missing object is still in this room

0:37:36 > 0:37:38and undoubtedly in the possession

0:37:38 > 0:37:40of one of these ladies or gentlemen.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43All right. Line up against the wall, everybody.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Men over there, women over here.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Just a minute!

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Nobody's going to search my wife.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Parker, phone the clerk

0:37:50 > 0:37:51to send down one of the maids.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52She can search the women.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Now line up against the wall, please.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59None of them has the pillbox, sir.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01All right, thank you.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Well, now what?

0:38:03 > 0:38:05I suppose we may as well release these people

0:38:05 > 0:38:07and spend the night in meditation.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10Yes, and a little good, old-fashioned work with fingerprints.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12You may go to your rooms now,

0:38:12 > 0:38:13but I'll arrest the first person

0:38:13 > 0:38:16who tries to leave Palm Springs without permission from me.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17WOMAN: It's an outrage, that's what it is.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19- SECOND WOMAN: - Accusing us of murder.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21MAN: Personally, I think the Saint did it.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Simon.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25I don't know what this is all about,

0:38:25 > 0:38:27but you're in a lot of trouble, aren't you?

0:38:27 > 0:38:28Well, shall we say that my vocation

0:38:28 > 0:38:30is not without it's excitement.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33If I can help you, let me know.

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Thank you.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40I'm not blaming you for what happened tonight, Templar.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43But from now on, I'll have to handle things my own way.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45I suppose you've no objection

0:38:45 > 0:38:47to my carrying on my own investigation

0:38:47 > 0:38:50as a sort of lone desert wolf.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Not as long as you don't violate any laws.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55And Clarence, if you pull any more monkeyshines,

0:38:55 > 0:38:58I'll arrest you for violation of probation.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59Good night.

0:38:59 > 0:39:00Good night.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Well, see you tomorrow, Pearly.

0:39:06 > 0:39:07Good night.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Hey!

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Hey, where are you going?

0:39:10 > 0:39:11To bed and to sleep.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Sleep? Gosh, I'd be afraid to close my eyes.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16I'd be dreaming about the penitentiary.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Hey, look, Saint, couldn't we both sit up

0:39:18 > 0:39:19and play pinochle or something?

0:39:19 > 0:39:20It's too bad they got

0:39:20 > 0:39:22that box of knockout drops, Pearly,

0:39:22 > 0:39:23you could have used one.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Good night.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Good night.

0:39:31 > 0:39:32Don't look around.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37When I say walk, walk fast.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41Too bad I didn't search myself along with the others.

0:39:41 > 0:39:42Clever of you to plant it on me.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Your pickpocket device was clever, too,

0:39:44 > 0:39:48so I decided to use it myself in reverse.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Now start walking.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53HE WHISTLES

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Well, hello there. Lovely evening.

0:40:15 > 0:40:16It's all right.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18I wanted to talk to you.

0:40:18 > 0:40:19Would you care to take a stroll with me?

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Did you get the stamps?

0:40:21 > 0:40:23That's what I wanted to talk about.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24All right.

0:40:25 > 0:40:26Well?

0:40:26 > 0:40:29The desert by night is so fascinating and sinister.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Now don't tell me that I'm the same.

0:40:31 > 0:40:32What about the stamps?

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Yes, I wanted to discuss them.

0:40:34 > 0:40:35Did you get them?

0:40:35 > 0:40:36Yes, I managed to locate them

0:40:36 > 0:40:38in a certain box of pills.

0:40:38 > 0:40:39You're not joking?

0:40:39 > 0:40:40No, not at all.

0:40:40 > 0:40:41You really found them?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Mm-hmm. Of course, on my way

0:40:43 > 0:40:46to my bungalow just now, I was held up and robbed.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49However, you'll be glad to hear

0:40:49 > 0:40:51that I foresaw the possibility

0:40:51 > 0:40:53that something might go wrong.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Then you've still got them?

0:40:58 > 0:41:03Your stamps, by special messenger.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05And here is the rest of your property.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09Mr Templar, all I can say is that I'm horribly ashamed.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11There's nothing to be ashamed about, really.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12After all, you didn't know me,

0:41:12 > 0:41:14and you were perfectly justified in your suspicions.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16And, of course, you can always make amends

0:41:16 > 0:41:19for the cruel way in which you've treated me.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21You know, you are fascinating,

0:41:21 > 0:41:23and sinister.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Well, am I too Machiavellian

0:41:25 > 0:41:26to hope that we might be friends now?

0:41:26 > 0:41:29No, I think that could be arranged.

0:41:29 > 0:41:30Good, then that's settled.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Now, then, about my tennis.

0:41:32 > 0:41:38I'm having a certain amount of difficulty with my close game.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39You do all right.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43You know, my forehand isn't all that it might be either.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Perhaps because your timing's bad.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Maybe there's something in what you're saying.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49Perhaps I move too slowly.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Hardly that.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53And you know that when a game goes to love,

0:41:53 > 0:41:56I almost invariably lose.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58It's possible that you've never had the right partner.

0:41:58 > 0:42:02That might be because I've never cared very much for doubles.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04Singles is my game.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08Miss Johnson, would you care to give me a few lessons?

0:42:08 > 0:42:10In tennis?

0:42:10 > 0:42:11I think that would be delightful.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Don't you think we ought to get these into the hotel safe?

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Now, that's an excellent idea.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18We don't want those postage stamps

0:42:18 > 0:42:19cluttering up our lives any more.

0:42:19 > 0:42:20I have a lesson at 10:00 in the morning.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23I can cut it short and give you a couple of hours.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Oh, fine. Let's discuss it over a good night drink.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28We should celebrate, shouldn't we?

0:42:35 > 0:42:36Well, hello, Simon.

0:42:36 > 0:42:37Good evening.

0:42:37 > 0:42:38Miss Forbes, Miss Johnson.

0:42:38 > 0:42:39How do you do?

0:42:39 > 0:42:40How do you do?

0:42:40 > 0:42:41We were just going to have a little drink.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Let's all have one together, shall we?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45That's fine.

0:42:46 > 0:42:47Ah, Miss Johnson?

0:42:47 > 0:42:48Scotch and soda.

0:42:48 > 0:42:49The same.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51And mine with plain water.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04Oh! Ha ha ha!

0:43:04 > 0:43:05Oh, that's game.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08What is this business of lessons?

0:43:08 > 0:43:09You ought to give me a couple.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12Maybe we could teach each other a few things.

0:43:12 > 0:43:13Telegram, Mr Templar.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Oh, thanks. Excuse me.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Surely.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Thank you.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Have you seen Mr Templar?

0:43:30 > 0:43:31Yes, ma'am, over in the far court.

0:43:31 > 0:43:32Thank you.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Well, how was the game?

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Perfect!

0:43:39 > 0:43:40She ran me all over the court.

0:43:40 > 0:43:41Oh, I hope you're not completely exhausted,

0:43:41 > 0:43:43I thought you might like to go riding.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Fine, I've been wanting to.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Too bad that you can't get away.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Oh, but I can! I'm through for the day.

0:43:49 > 0:43:50Oh.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Don't you love the desert?

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Yes. Fascinating.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00And sinister.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02Do you come down here every season?

0:44:02 > 0:44:04Yes, but I don't remember seeing you before.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07This is my first trip and I love it.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10At a place like this, one meets so many charming men.

0:44:10 > 0:44:14Yes. Some of the women aren't so nice, though.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Ahem. I suppose you'll be staying on

0:44:16 > 0:44:18- at the hotel as a guest now, Miss Johnson? - Oh, perhaps.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21As a guest? Are you losing your position?

0:44:21 > 0:44:24Oh, no. I'm just resigning it.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26Oh.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28You know, Miss Johnson, I've been thinking about something.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30With all this crime wave, do you think the hotel safe

0:44:30 > 0:44:32is the proper place to keep the stamps?

0:44:32 > 0:44:34I don't know.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36It's apparent that we're dealing with an organised gang,

0:44:36 > 0:44:39and looting the hotel safe is probably not beyond their power.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41No, maybe not.

0:44:41 > 0:44:42What had I better do?

0:44:42 > 0:44:44Well, I'd suggest that you remove the stamps

0:44:44 > 0:44:45and keep them on your person

0:44:45 > 0:44:47until we can arrange for their disposal.

0:44:47 > 0:44:49It might be a good idea.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53Come on, let's have a race. Yahoo!

0:45:01 > 0:45:03So we spread the word around

0:45:03 > 0:45:05that the stamps are at Elna's bungalow, huh?

0:45:05 > 0:45:07And our mouse falls right into the trap.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Boy, I think we're taking an awful chance.

0:45:09 > 0:45:10Neither you nor Miss Johnson

0:45:10 > 0:45:12will be in any danger whatsoever.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Yeah, that's what you said last night.

0:45:14 > 0:45:15All that happened was a murder,

0:45:15 > 0:45:17and the chief was talking about sending me to the pen.

0:45:17 > 0:45:19Pearly, I wish you'd stop being so self-centered.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22Take the big, broad, flexible outlook.

0:45:22 > 0:45:23Those confounded postage stamps

0:45:23 > 0:45:25have caused two murders already,

0:45:25 > 0:45:27and we've got to catch the assassin

0:45:27 > 0:45:28before somebody else gets killed.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31Look, Saint, the next time you take a vacation,

0:45:31 > 0:45:32go to Florida, will you?

0:45:32 > 0:45:34If I hang around with you much longer,

0:45:34 > 0:45:37I'm headed for an awful fall.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42See you later, Pearly.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52Thank you, sir.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Are you sure everything's going to be all right?

0:45:54 > 0:45:55Positive.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56Pearly will be covering the back door,

0:45:56 > 0:45:58I the front. What could happen?

0:45:58 > 0:46:01I don't know. I wish I did.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03You'll receive a visit from the murderer,

0:46:03 > 0:46:05but before anything can happen, Pearly and I

0:46:05 > 0:46:07will close in, and that'll be the end of it.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09I hope you're right.

0:46:09 > 0:46:10Amen.

0:46:11 > 0:46:13Call me at half past 6:00 in the morning, please?

0:46:13 > 0:46:14Yes, Mr Evans.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Thanks. Miss Johnson.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17Hello.

0:46:17 > 0:46:18Charlie, I want to take those stamps

0:46:18 > 0:46:19out of the safe.

0:46:19 > 0:46:20Oh, do you really think it best?

0:46:20 > 0:46:21Quite.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23Yes, sir.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27Would you mind inspecting the locket

0:46:27 > 0:46:29to be sure the stamps are inside?

0:46:33 > 0:46:34Yes, they're quite safe.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37Would you sign the receipt, please?

0:46:37 > 0:46:40I'd suggest that you keep the stamps in the bungalow tonight,

0:46:40 > 0:46:42and then tomorrow we can make other arrangements.

0:46:42 > 0:46:43All right.

0:46:50 > 0:46:51Frightened?

0:46:51 > 0:46:52A little.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54After all, two people have been murdered.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56You'll be quite safe.

0:46:56 > 0:46:58The way you say it, I almost believe I will be.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00Pearly's around back already and I'll be close by.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03As soon as our visitor arrives, we'll close in.

0:47:03 > 0:47:04He won't have time to do anything.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07I'll take your word for it.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Good girl.

0:47:09 > 0:47:10And good luck.

0:47:10 > 0:47:11Thanks.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Put up your hands!

0:47:33 > 0:47:35So you're the one.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37Does it surprise you?

0:47:37 > 0:47:40Frankly, yes.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42You killed my uncle and the policeman.

0:47:42 > 0:47:43Perhaps Simon didn't tell you.

0:47:43 > 0:47:44I was in the room

0:47:44 > 0:47:47when the policeman was murdered in the hall.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Give me the stamps, please.

0:47:49 > 0:47:51I haven't got them.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53You've just 10 seconds to remember that you have.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55You can't get away.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57I'll take my chances.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59You have five seconds left.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02I'll have to lower my hands.

0:48:02 > 0:48:03One hand.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Throw it.

0:48:17 > 0:48:18Don't try to follow me.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31GUNSHOT, WOMAN SCREAMS

0:48:34 > 0:48:35Are you all right?

0:48:35 > 0:48:36Yes.

0:48:44 > 0:48:45No use.

0:48:47 > 0:48:48Oh...

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Oh, how awful.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06It's what comes of doing your duty.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10I knew about her since before we went riding.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22Is that why you mentioned the stamps in front of her?

0:49:22 > 0:49:24Yes, I thought she alone was after them.

0:49:24 > 0:49:27But it appears that I'm wrong. We're up against an organised gang.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30A gang that killed her, your Uncle Peter, and the policeman,

0:49:30 > 0:49:32and very nearly killed poor Pearly.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34I must confess that for the first time in my life,

0:49:34 > 0:49:35I'm a bit mystified.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37Look, you send for the police,

0:49:37 > 0:49:39and I'll get Pearly over to my bungalow.

0:49:45 > 0:49:46Ooh.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02So I was just standing there,

0:50:02 > 0:50:05keeping one eye peeled, like you said.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07When all of a sudden, I see fireworks,

0:50:07 > 0:50:10just like the fourth of July.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12Then I don't see nothing.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14But didn't you even get a glance at the man who struck you?

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Not a peep.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19Simon, I've got just about as much nerve as the next one,

0:50:19 > 0:50:20but this thing is getting beyond me.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22Yes, it is getting a bit out of hand.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24Let's drive to Los Angeles in the morning

0:50:24 > 0:50:25and get the stamps out of our possession

0:50:25 > 0:50:26before something else happens.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28One more thing must happen.

0:50:28 > 0:50:31You sleep late in the morning, and I'll send you a little note

0:50:31 > 0:50:33explaining just exactly what I mean.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35All right. Good night, Clarence.

0:50:35 > 0:50:36Hmm.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46Look, Saint, the first time you set a trap,

0:50:46 > 0:50:47they killed that policeman.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50The next time, they knocked off Margaret Forbes.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53This time there ain't anybody for them to get except Elna...

0:50:53 > 0:50:55or maybe me!

0:50:55 > 0:50:57This time, there won't be any danger at all.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Oh, I don't know, I might as well give up.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02If I don't get killed, I get scared to death.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04And either way, I violate my probation.

0:51:04 > 0:51:05Then you'll be a martyr, Pearly,

0:51:05 > 0:51:08sacrificing life and liberty in a great cause.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11Yeah, but I still get them 10 years.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13KNOCKING

0:51:16 > 0:51:17You ring for a boy, sir?

0:51:17 > 0:51:20Yes, I want you to deliver this to note to Miss Elna Johnson at once.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Yes, sir.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24And it's extremely important that no one finds out she has received

0:51:24 > 0:51:26this communication from me, do you understand?

0:51:26 > 0:51:27I got you, sir.

0:51:27 > 0:51:28Thank you.

0:51:28 > 0:51:32Hey, look, Saint, if you're being watched,

0:51:32 > 0:51:34somebody else may read that letter.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37That is the general idea.

0:51:37 > 0:51:38Oh!

0:51:44 > 0:51:45BUZZER RINGS

0:51:47 > 0:51:48You said to let you know

0:51:48 > 0:51:51if Mr Templar communicated with Miss Johnson.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53He just sent her this note.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58I won't let anybody know about this.

0:51:58 > 0:51:59It could cost me my job.

0:51:59 > 0:52:00MAN: Don't worry, my boy.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03Just playing a joke on Mr Templar.

0:52:03 > 0:52:04OK.

0:52:13 > 0:52:14From Mr Templar.

0:52:14 > 0:52:15Thank you.

0:52:15 > 0:52:16You're welcome.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42I know we failed twice,

0:52:42 > 0:52:44but maybe the third time will be a charm.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46Yeah, that's what they say, ain't it?

0:52:46 > 0:52:48There have been three murders already.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51Gosh, I forgot about your uncle.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53Hey, couldn't we do this some other way?

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Suppose we all met at the police station?

0:52:55 > 0:52:57That would save me an awful lot of trouble about my probation.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Do you think our culprit would walk into a trap baited with police?

0:53:00 > 0:53:02No, Pearly, you've got to trust me

0:53:02 > 0:53:04just one more time. And if I fail,

0:53:04 > 0:53:07I promise I'll never risk your life again.

0:53:07 > 0:53:08OK, that's a promise.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09Hey!

0:53:09 > 0:53:11It's 11:30.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13You've just got time to ride up there.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15I'll be along in about 20 minutes.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17Don't be late, I doubt if my nerves could stand it.

0:53:17 > 0:53:19Don't worry, I won't.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21Come on, get up there, Pearly.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24Oomph! There you are.

0:53:24 > 0:53:25See you at midnight.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44There's Tommy.

0:53:44 > 0:53:45Bottle of beer.

0:53:46 > 0:53:49The girl and Gates just left.

0:53:49 > 0:53:50Where is the Saint?

0:53:50 > 0:53:52He came back here.

0:53:52 > 0:53:53Good.

0:53:53 > 0:53:54Right.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57Is that the best you got?

0:53:57 > 0:53:59We have several kinds.

0:53:59 > 0:54:00Let me see.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05All right, you, get out of that coat.

0:54:05 > 0:54:06Come on, hurry up!

0:54:06 > 0:54:07Come on.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12All right, go get Templar.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Oh, good evening, Mr Templar.

0:54:23 > 0:54:24Good evening.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26I was about to have a nightcap. Won't you join me?

0:54:26 > 0:54:28- Well, I don't mind if I do. - Good.

0:54:34 > 0:54:36Hello, Fletcher. Good evening, Mr Templar.

0:54:36 > 0:54:37Good evening.

0:54:37 > 0:54:38Won't you join us?

0:54:38 > 0:54:39Well, that's very nice of you. Brandy.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Tom Collins.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43I'll match you for it.

0:54:43 > 0:54:44- EVANS:- All right.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46- TEMPLAR:- Odd man pays, eh? Suits me.

0:54:46 > 0:54:48Fine.

0:54:48 > 0:54:49Looks like you're stuck.

0:54:49 > 0:54:50Usually am.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Sorry, old man.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Well, better luck next time.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56Well, cheerio.

0:54:56 > 0:54:57Here's to you.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58Regards.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02Have a smoke?

0:55:02 > 0:55:05No, thank you.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08A bit stuffy in here, isn't it?

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Give me a glass of water, please.

0:55:22 > 0:55:27That's funny. I feel a bit faint.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29I think I'll be going.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31- SLURRING: - Excuse me.

0:55:37 > 0:55:38That did it.

0:55:38 > 0:55:40Let's get him out of here.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46It's no use, he hasn't got them.

0:55:46 > 0:55:47And they weren't in his bungalow.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Then the girl must have them.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52So what? Jimmy and Ray will take care of her

0:55:52 > 0:55:53and that dumb house dick.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55Maybe, but we'll make sure.

0:55:55 > 0:55:56Better see if he's still out.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58It's a pleasure.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01Still asleep, sweetheart?

0:56:01 > 0:56:02Out like a light.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04Stay here and keep an eye on him.

0:56:04 > 0:56:05You come with me.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15Boy, it's awful dark out here.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17The moon will be up soon.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19Will that be good or bad?

0:56:19 > 0:56:21There's the giant joshua. Come on!

0:56:38 > 0:56:40Hey, you want to know something?

0:56:40 > 0:56:42I don't like this place.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44I don't like it either.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45It's awfully lonesome.

0:56:45 > 0:56:47- MAN:- Well, maybe we can take care of that.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49OK, stick them up, sister.

0:56:49 > 0:56:50You too, buddy.

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Here comes a car.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16It's the Saint!

0:57:17 > 0:57:19I'll take care of him. Come on, get them out of here.

0:57:19 > 0:57:20All right, you.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34All right, you guys in the car.

0:57:34 > 0:57:36Get out and come out reaching.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38It's all right, Ray.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40I thought you was the Saint.

0:57:40 > 0:57:41Don't worry about him, he's taken care of.

0:57:41 > 0:57:42Where's the girl and Jimmy?

0:57:42 > 0:57:45Over there with that mastermind of a house detective.

0:57:45 > 0:57:47All right, Jimmy, bring them out.

0:57:51 > 0:57:52Mr Evans!

0:57:52 > 0:57:54Sorry to trouble you, Miss Johnson,

0:57:54 > 0:57:55but I'm afraid it's necessary.

0:57:55 > 0:57:58Hey, now, look, Mr Evans, this thing has gone far enough.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00If you would just let us go, I won't arrest you.

0:58:00 > 0:58:01Quiet.

0:58:01 > 0:58:02What do you want with us?

0:58:02 > 0:58:03I think you know, so if you just hand them over,

0:58:03 > 0:58:05I'll turn you loose, and you've nothing further to worry about.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07If you mean the stamps, we haven't got them.

0:58:07 > 0:58:08Sure, that's right.

0:58:08 > 0:58:10The Saint was supposed to bring them.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Templar doesn't have the stamps and you know it.

0:58:12 > 0:58:13Where are they?

0:58:13 > 0:58:15Well, if Mr Templar doesn't have them,

0:58:15 > 0:58:17I don't know where they are.

0:58:17 > 0:58:18Search them.

0:58:18 > 0:58:19Ha!

0:58:19 > 0:58:20What's so funny?

0:58:20 > 0:58:21Well, you guys,

0:58:21 > 0:58:22searching me and Elna.

0:58:22 > 0:58:24We ain't got no more idea

0:58:24 > 0:58:26where the stamps are than you--

0:58:33 > 0:58:34What have you got there?

0:58:34 > 0:58:36Oh, it's nothing.

0:58:36 > 0:58:37- EVANS:- Let's have a loOK at it.

0:58:37 > 0:58:40It's just a picture of my old mother.

0:58:40 > 0:58:41It's a locket, all right.

0:58:41 > 0:58:42Oh, now, look, you fellas,

0:58:42 > 0:58:46ain't you got no respect for a guy's mother?

0:58:47 > 0:58:48All right, where are they?

0:58:48 > 0:58:50Aren't they in the locket?

0:58:50 > 0:58:51You know they're not.

0:58:51 > 0:58:52PEARLY: They ain't?

0:58:52 > 0:58:53Come on, we've stalled long enough.

0:58:53 > 0:58:55Where are those stamps?

0:58:55 > 0:58:56I don't know.

0:58:56 > 0:58:59I think we can refresh your memory.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01All right, Fletcher.

0:59:01 > 0:59:02Wait a minute!

0:59:02 > 0:59:04Here comes somebody.

0:59:06 > 0:59:07Pearly!

0:59:07 > 0:59:08Hey, that's the Saint!

0:59:08 > 0:59:10It can't be.

0:59:10 > 0:59:13He got a Mickey Finn that will keep him quiet for two days.

0:59:13 > 0:59:14- TEMPLAR:- Elna!

0:59:14 > 0:59:16It is Simon.

0:59:16 > 0:59:18So much the better.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20Keep him covered.

0:59:20 > 0:59:21Elna, where are you?

0:59:29 > 0:59:30Hello, Saint.

0:59:30 > 0:59:32Well, Mr Evans, I thought you'd be

0:59:32 > 0:59:35peacefully in bed after your nightcap.

0:59:35 > 0:59:38Hello. Couldn't any of you sleep?

0:59:38 > 0:59:39FLETCHER: How did you get here?

0:59:39 > 0:59:41You'd better ask my horse.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43I might have known better

0:59:43 > 0:59:44than to leave you guarded by one man.

0:59:44 > 0:59:45But now that you're here,

0:59:45 > 0:59:47you can save me and yourself a lot of trouble.

0:59:47 > 0:59:48Let's have them.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50If you're talking about the stamps,

0:59:50 > 0:59:52I'm sorry, I can't oblige.

0:59:52 > 0:59:53All right.

0:59:53 > 0:59:55Boys, work him over.

0:59:56 > 0:59:57Hey, wait a minute!

0:59:57 > 0:59:59If this is going to be a third degree,

0:59:59 > 1:00:00let's leave Miss Johnson out of it.

1:00:00 > 1:00:03We'll take care of her later if it's necessary.

1:00:03 > 1:00:04It won't do you any good.

1:00:04 > 1:00:05Pearly and I are the only ones

1:00:05 > 1:00:07who know where the stamps are.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09- EVANS:- We've got some plans for him, too.

1:00:09 > 1:00:10Hey, now, wait a minute,

1:00:10 > 1:00:12I don't know nothing about nothing, honest.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14Simon, you've risked enough for me.

1:00:14 > 1:00:16If the stamps will save your life, let them have them.

1:00:16 > 1:00:17Thanks for the generous thought.

1:00:17 > 1:00:18But in the first place,

1:00:18 > 1:00:20I haven't got the stamps.

1:00:20 > 1:00:23And secondly, my life is not in any particular danger.

1:00:23 > 1:00:24You think not?

1:00:24 > 1:00:25I'm quite sure of it.

1:00:25 > 1:00:27Murder requires courage,

1:00:27 > 1:00:29which quite obviously none of you possesses.

1:00:29 > 1:00:30Is that so?

1:00:30 > 1:00:31- How about Peter Johnson in New York?- Oh, you didn't kill him.

1:00:31 > 1:00:32Oh, yes, we did,

1:00:32 > 1:00:34and that policeman outside the gymnasium.

1:00:34 > 1:00:37And then I suppose you courageously slew poor Margaret Forbes.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40Exactly. And if you think we'd stop at taking care of you,

1:00:40 > 1:00:41you've got another guess coming.

1:00:41 > 1:00:44Well, perhaps I have misjudged you.

1:00:44 > 1:00:45On sober second thought,

1:00:45 > 1:00:48you probably are capable of murder.

1:00:48 > 1:00:51However, we'll allow a jury to decide that.

1:00:51 > 1:00:52I don't get you.

1:00:52 > 1:00:53No, but I've got you.

1:00:53 > 1:00:54Lights!

1:01:03 > 1:01:06Isn't that rather a waste of effort?

1:01:07 > 1:01:10I'm afraid your confession to the three murders

1:01:10 > 1:01:12fell upon unsympathetic ears.

1:01:15 > 1:01:17You see, Mr Evans,

1:01:17 > 1:01:18when Pearly first stole your box of knockout drops,

1:01:18 > 1:01:20I took the precaution to replace the pills

1:01:20 > 1:01:22with harmless aspirin,

1:01:22 > 1:01:24so that instead of giving me a headache,

1:01:24 > 1:01:26you actually relieved a slight one I was getting.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28It was no trick at all

1:01:28 > 1:01:30to pretend that I was knocked out,

1:01:30 > 1:01:33and overpower your stooge here at my convenience.

1:01:33 > 1:01:36I'm awake now, sweetheart.

1:01:36 > 1:01:37Chief, you may as well

1:01:37 > 1:01:40take the rest of these gentlemen into custody.

1:01:40 > 1:01:41Wait a minute.

1:01:41 > 1:01:42Although we all heard the confession,

1:01:42 > 1:01:44it may not hold in court.

1:01:44 > 1:01:45You told me on the way out here

1:01:45 > 1:01:47that you'd recognised the murderer

1:01:47 > 1:01:49by a scar you put over his left eyebrow

1:01:49 > 1:01:50back in New York.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53Now then, can you show me the scar?

1:01:53 > 1:01:55I'd forgotten about that.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05Ah, yes. I thought so.

1:02:07 > 1:02:09Where would you prefer to be executed,

1:02:09 > 1:02:11Sing Sing or San Quentin?

1:02:11 > 1:02:13OK, that's good enough for me.

1:02:13 > 1:02:16All right, boys, let's take them back to town.

1:02:19 > 1:02:21Well, Templar, I'll be seeing you.

1:02:21 > 1:02:22Thanks.

1:02:22 > 1:02:23Anytime, Chief.

1:02:24 > 1:02:27Simon, I won't try to thank you.

1:02:27 > 1:02:28Oh, please, don't.

1:02:28 > 1:02:29The stamps are in the hotel safe.

1:02:29 > 1:02:31They've been there ever since last night.

1:02:31 > 1:02:33Hey, look, if I was you,

1:02:33 > 1:02:34I'd make a date to give him

1:02:34 > 1:02:35some more tennis lessons.

1:02:35 > 1:02:37I'd like that very much.

1:02:37 > 1:02:39So would I.

1:02:39 > 1:02:41But a few more lessons and I'm liable to forget

1:02:41 > 1:02:44that singles has always been my game.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46So long, Pearly.

1:02:54 > 1:02:55Gee, Saint.

1:02:56 > 1:02:58HE WHISTLES
