WEBVTT

00:01:15.535 --> 00:01:19.165
leave the cell door open. That's
all there is to it. Let him

00:01:19.285 --> 00:01:23.305
escape. In my view, it's all very
irregular. It might entail the most

00:01:23.425 --> 00:01:27.185
embarrassing repercussions. Exactly
certainly. It's a responsibility

00:01:27.305 --> 00:01:29.685
of the first magnitude.
I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson,

00:01:29.805 --> 00:01:33.205
but you must blast all this
discussion What good are words?

00:01:33.325 --> 00:01:36.605
I'm sick of words. Hang the
repercussions and the responsibility.

00:01:36.725 --> 00:01:38.477
If I fail, I am responsible.

00:01:38.597 --> 00:01:42.505
Leave the cell door open. Let him
escape. Let him. It's our only chance.

00:01:42.625 --> 00:01:46.125
Well, you can threaten me with the
bottom pits of hell. And still I insist.

00:01:46.245 --> 00:01:50.000
This obscenity must be destroyed.
Do you hear me? Destroyed!

00:02:04.725 --> 00:02:10.085
Todos los pasajeros desembarquen.
All passengers ready to disembark.

00:02:10.365 --> 00:02:13.965
I'm traveling for my health.
I'm traveling for my health.

00:02:14.225 --> 00:02:16.245
Tengan listos sus pasaportes.

00:02:17.045 --> 00:02:18.965
Get your passports ready.

00:02:20.605 --> 00:02:22.357
I'm traveling for my health.

00:02:45.245 --> 00:02:52.245
Stefan Polaski! You take care of him

00:02:55.125 --> 00:02:57.565
I am traveling for my health. How?

00:02:59.725 --> 00:03:05.905
I am traveling for my health. Oh. You
are a native of what country? Poland.

00:03:09.825 --> 00:03:10.985
Next, please.

00:03:28.245 --> 00:03:32.605
¿Qué pasó? Yo lo voy a seguir a
pie. Tú vete en el carro. Ah, bien.

00:03:49.185 --> 00:03:52.165
Hotel Nacional, 7702.

00:04:00.665 --> 00:04:01.785
Hello? Yes.

00:04:04.375 --> 00:04:08.785
You haven't lost him? You're sure
you know where he's going? My wife

00:04:08.905 --> 00:04:11.085
is following him. He's
gone to the photographers.

00:04:11.205 --> 00:04:13.085
Probably to get a new passport

00:04:13.205 --> 00:04:19.805
and new instructions. Hold it. I wish to
know the whereabouts of Franz Kindler.

00:04:25.985 --> 00:04:28.005
There is no Franz Kindler.

00:04:28.885 --> 00:04:32.885
Franz Kindler is dead and
cremated. It's a command.

00:04:37.585 --> 00:04:42.425
I have a message for Franz
Kindler from the All Highest.

00:04:44.925 --> 00:04:50.045
It is forbidden. I command you
in the name of that authority.

00:04:57.825 --> 00:04:59.825
(music playing)

00:05:00.825 --> 00:05:01.725
You...

00:05:02.745 --> 00:05:03.945
You know the...

00:05:04.805 --> 00:05:06.119
The name he is using?

00:05:26.665 --> 00:05:32.245
Connecticut, in the United
States, the town of Harpa.

00:05:58.325 --> 00:05:59.725
Harper!

00:06:09.245 --> 00:06:12.045
Excuse me.

00:06:22.334 --> 00:06:25.025
The hotel gave me a
room that was so small,

00:06:25.145 --> 00:06:28.105
Every time I closed the door,
the knob got in the bed with me.

00:06:28.225 --> 00:06:31.625
And you know how cold those brass
door knobs are on a winter night.

00:06:31.745 --> 00:06:34.879
I had so many blankets. Good
afternoon. Good afternoon.

00:06:34.929 --> 00:06:36.970
I had to find a place to
get in. Have a nice trip?

00:06:37.045 --> 00:06:39.535
You know, I got so cold, but at
four o 'clock in the morning,

00:06:39.585 --> 00:06:42.208
I got up and lit a fire. Quite
a story you have here, Mr.

00:06:43.245 --> 00:06:46.311
Potter, that's me. We sell
about everything here.

00:06:47.085 --> 00:06:51.745
I said, hey, there's two
rats fighting in this room.

00:06:51.865 --> 00:06:54.605
He said, what do you want, for a
buck and a quarter, a bullfight?

00:06:54.725 --> 00:06:57.868
About seven o 'clock in the morning, the
house detective knocked on the door.

00:06:57.945 --> 00:07:02.185
He said, is there a maid in your room?
I said, no. So he pushed one in.

00:07:02.305 --> 00:07:05.025
She was a cute little
chambermaid. He said,

00:07:05.145 --> 00:07:06.665
did you ever hear of a double maid?

00:07:06.785 --> 00:07:09.505
I said, no. So she said,
I just picked it up.

00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:11.866
Of course, there was another
fellow in the room with me.

00:07:11.916 --> 00:07:14.553
He was the mess when I
came in. Uh this suitcase,

00:07:14.554 --> 00:07:16.585
This suitcase, I could leave it here?

00:07:17.805 --> 00:07:19.870
I don't assume no responsibility.

00:07:20.465 --> 00:07:24.282
Just put it up on the shelf.
It'll be there when you want it.

00:07:26.825 --> 00:07:30.152
That'll be a time, mister.
What's the best hotel in town?

00:07:30.272 --> 00:07:32.898
Best place to stay is
down at Mrs. Peabody's.

00:07:33.018 --> 00:07:35.178
It's just down the road here, please.

00:07:35.298 --> 00:07:36.198
Oh, he works.

00:07:39.025 --> 00:07:43.845
I said, is he good? He said, good.
This way, mister. Yes, thank you.

00:09:30.775 --> 00:09:32.775
(music playing)

00:09:49.045 --> 00:09:49.945
I may come in?

00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:52.345
Yes, of course.

00:09:59.685 --> 00:10:01.813
Does Mr. Charles Rankin live here?

00:10:02.785 --> 00:10:06.415
Yes, he does, but he isn't here
right now. You expect him?

00:10:07.505 --> 00:10:09.508
Yes, in a few minutes. How soon?

00:10:10.765 --> 00:10:13.085
Well, a few minutes.

00:10:13.945 --> 00:10:14.885
A few minutes.

00:10:19.825 --> 00:10:20.725
I may...

00:10:22.905 --> 00:10:24.185
I may wait here.

00:10:27.945 --> 00:10:29.384
Well, yes, if you like.

00:10:32.475 --> 00:10:34.230
Would you like to sit down?

00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:35.250
Thank you.

00:10:39.065 --> 00:10:40.880
You a friend of Mr. Rankin's?

00:10:41.705 --> 00:10:42.605
Yes, a friend.

00:10:43.245 --> 00:10:45.435
I'm Mary Longstreet. How do you do?

00:10:46.005 --> 00:10:46.905
How do you do?

00:10:55.385 --> 00:10:57.388
Mr. Rankin ought to be here now.

00:10:57.962 --> 00:11:00.348
Sometimes he stays after his last class,

00:11:00.468 --> 00:11:03.451
but he'll be coming straight
here today, I'm sure.

00:11:03.571 --> 00:11:06.912
Because this is our wedding
day. You're getting married?

00:11:07.032 --> 00:11:08.285
Yes, at six o 'clock.

00:11:08.748 --> 00:11:12.081
I know it's most unconventional,
my being here today,

00:11:12.201 --> 00:11:14.465
but I want to get these curtains up.

00:11:17.615 --> 00:11:19.615
(music playing)

00:11:21.885 --> 00:11:24.263
When he comes, which way does he come?

00:11:25.365 --> 00:11:28.025
My, uh, from, uh, Webster Hall.

00:11:28.385 --> 00:11:32.828
It's the big dome building right over
there, you see? I shall meet him.

00:11:33.965 --> 00:11:36.155
Well, who shall I say that could...

00:11:44.065 --> 00:11:44.965
Franz.

00:11:47.065 --> 00:11:51.125
It's I, Franz. Erniki, we mustn't
be seen talking together.

00:11:51.245 --> 00:11:54.591
Go back to the church, into
the woods, into the woods,

00:11:54.711 --> 00:11:56.765
You understand me? Follow the path.

00:11:58.285 --> 00:11:59.474
I'll meet you there

00:12:03.530 --> 00:12:05.345
Hello professor Rankin hello,

00:12:05.465 --> 00:12:08.869
man What are you up to paper
chase? Oh paper chase?

00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.511
I go ahead and lay the trail. You ought

00:12:10.561 --> 00:12:13.205
to have Jerry's job Mr. Rankin
take a little off that waistline.

00:12:13.325 --> 00:12:16.516
I gotta go with us. Mr.
Rankin. Where to the woods?

00:12:17.765 --> 00:12:19.465
Oh, Buzzard! The woods?

00:12:20.527 --> 00:12:24.845
Well, I'd like to. I'm afraid I have
a couple of things to attend to.

00:12:24.965 --> 00:12:27.645
Well, join us later. We'll
be out till dark. All right.

00:12:27.765 --> 00:12:29.517
Oh, we'll catch up with you.

00:12:39.405 --> 00:12:40.531
Nice work, fellas!

00:12:52.765 --> 00:12:54.385
Meineke. Yes, Meineke.

00:12:56.865 --> 00:12:59.185
I thought I had been hanged.

00:12:59.785 --> 00:13:02.465
The others, but not I. Had that man

00:13:02.585 --> 00:13:05.568
could not stand face to
face with you, Franz.

00:13:05.688 --> 00:13:08.445
Say no, waiting to be.
You're not much changed.

00:13:09.205 --> 00:13:11.458
But you're back in your old uniform.

00:13:11.785 --> 00:13:16.103
You look very much the same. Franz,
I am a different man than before.

00:13:16.265 --> 00:13:17.165
I, too.

00:13:18.105 --> 00:13:19.920
I, too, am different, Conrad.

00:13:19.970 --> 00:13:24.145
You know how I gathered and destroyed
every single item in Germany

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:26.628
and Poland that might have
served as a clue to my identity.

00:13:26.678 --> 00:13:29.965
Well, guess what I'll be doing
at six o 'clock tonight?

00:13:30.085 --> 00:13:32.901
Standing before a minister of the
gospel with a woman's hand in mine,

00:13:32.985 --> 00:13:36.385
the daughter of a justice of the United
States Supreme Court, a famous liberal.

00:13:36.505 --> 00:13:40.685
The girl's even good to look at.
Yes, the camouflage is perfect.

00:13:40.815 --> 00:13:45.525
Would think to look for the notorious
Franz Kindler in the sacred

00:13:45.645 --> 00:13:50.165
precincts of the Harper School surrounded
by the sons of America's first families.

00:13:50.285 --> 00:13:55.545
And I'll stay hidden until
the day when we strike again.

00:13:56.445 --> 00:13:57.345
France.

00:13:57.965 --> 00:13:59.592
There will be another war?

00:14:01.085 --> 00:14:01.985
Of course.

00:14:04.849 --> 00:14:10.005
War is an abomination, say the Lord. It
is to tell you this, that I am here.

00:14:10.125 --> 00:14:13.805
He set me free, that I have come
here and clean. Who set you free?

00:14:13.925 --> 00:14:20.285
To you the whole highest.
You don't mean... I mean God

00:14:29.245 --> 00:14:35.221
I'm a new man since I found you
Conrad Religious friends friends all

00:14:35.341 --> 00:14:40.965
doors were opened to me. All the
doors. It was one of God's miracles.

00:14:54.085 --> 00:14:56.805
They freed you, so you'd lead them to me.

00:14:58.005 --> 00:14:59.444
Have you been followed?

00:15:00.305 --> 00:15:03.184
Were you followed here?
Yes. Who followed you?

00:15:03.605 --> 00:15:04.545
The evil one.

00:15:05.405 --> 00:15:09.748
He looked like any other man. He
was dressed like any other man.

00:15:09.868 --> 00:15:11.225
He even smoked a pipe.

00:15:11.345 --> 00:15:13.885
But I recognized him through his disguise,

00:15:14.005 --> 00:15:17.505
and I killed him, striking
from on high down.

00:15:21.205 --> 00:15:22.525
That's will be done.

00:15:23.245 --> 00:15:25.623
You killed him, the man with the pipe?

00:15:26.245 --> 00:15:27.809
The man who followed you?

00:15:29.725 --> 00:15:31.289
No one else followed you?

00:15:39.345 --> 00:15:44.605
You must be brought to salvation,
Franz Confess your sins as I have

00:15:46.165 --> 00:15:50.045
Proclaim your guilt. Only thus
you can attain salvation.

00:15:52.905 --> 00:15:55.145
You really think so, Conrad?

00:15:55.305 --> 00:15:59.885
It will take strength Such strength
as can come only from God God,

00:16:00.005 --> 00:16:06.605
kneel by me, friends, and together we
will pray to him to give you strength.

00:16:12.765 --> 00:16:16.485
I have sinned against
heaven and before thee.

00:16:18.245 --> 00:16:20.560
I am not worthy to be called thy son.

00:16:22.665 --> 00:16:24.229
Say these words after me.

00:16:25.885 --> 00:16:27.625
I despair of my sins.

00:16:29.445 --> 00:16:30.865
I despair of my sins.

00:16:33.405 --> 00:16:35.025
Oh, God of all goodness.

00:16:36.545 --> 00:16:41.085
How could I ever have offended
thee? Of all goodness.

00:16:52.565 --> 00:16:53.629
this way, fellas.

00:16:54.145 --> 00:16:55.584
Don't let him get away.

00:17:04.485 --> 00:17:06.485
(music playing)

00:18:06.685 --> 00:18:07.749
This way, fellas.

00:18:15.797 --> 00:18:19.837
Dearly beloved, we are gathered
together here in the sight of God

00:18:19.957 --> 00:18:23.499
and in the face of this company
to join together this man

00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:25.670
and this woman in holy matrimony.

00:18:39.785 --> 00:18:44.854
And forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her, so long as ye both shall live.

00:18:45.765 --> 00:18:47.705
I will. Afternoon.

00:18:48.425 --> 00:18:49.325
Afternoon.

00:18:52.645 --> 00:18:55.845
Wedding? Yep. Judge Longstreet's daughter.

00:18:56.745 --> 00:18:59.060
He's Supreme Court Justice, you know.

00:19:01.295 --> 00:19:05.465
Bottle of aspirin, please. Right back
there, third shelf down from the top.

00:19:05.585 --> 00:19:10.308
You'll see the big ones on the
left, economy size. You have to get

00:19:10.428 --> 00:19:16.545
it yourself, mister. Right back there.
All your needs are on our shelves. Just

right this one that's that's it That's it.

00:19:23.725 --> 00:19:26.016
That's it. Living down to Mrs. Peabody's?

00:19:26.585 --> 00:19:27.899
Just a few days only.

00:19:29.505 --> 00:19:31.305
Now, some coffee, too, please.

00:19:31.655 --> 00:19:35.385
Or should I get it myself? Cafeteria
-style around here, Mr. Todd.

00:19:35.505 --> 00:19:37.185
That's right. Self -service.

00:19:38.045 --> 00:19:41.362
The usual thing. That's three
dollars even, Mr. Todd.

00:19:44.745 --> 00:19:49.125
No limit on the cream. Well, all the
people around here take it black.

00:20:00.355 --> 00:20:04.785
Who's Miss Longstreet -Marrying?
One of the teachers down at school.

00:20:04.905 --> 00:20:10.865
A stranger in town. I issued the
license. Oh. Yep. I'm town clerk. Well.

00:20:14.285 --> 00:20:15.185
Yeah.

00:20:16.485 --> 00:20:17.385
Checkers?

00:20:18.265 --> 00:20:19.165
All right.

00:20:21.625 --> 00:20:24.879
Checkers. Checkers. Checkers.
Town clerk, huh? Yeah.

00:20:25.045 --> 00:20:27.673
Well, that must be quite a responsibility.

00:20:27.925 --> 00:20:31.065
Oh, town clerk runs the
town, you might say. Yeah.

00:20:32.065 --> 00:20:35.905
We usually make it for 15, 20.

00:20:37.925 --> 00:20:41.185
We often play as high
as 25 cents the game.

00:20:42.265 --> 00:20:45.929
Well, that's kind of stiff for
me, but I'll take a flyer.

00:20:46.049 --> 00:20:49.647
Make a million, lose a million.
That's the way it goes.

00:20:53.285 --> 00:21:00.285
I move hmm all right. Well, you
must know just about everybody

00:21:01.065 --> 00:21:06.225
in town here it's not just about know
everybody you're on business business?

00:21:06.365 --> 00:21:07.705
Uh -huh.

00:21:09.565 --> 00:21:16.185
School business? No.

00:21:18.145 --> 00:21:19.485
Selling something?

00:21:20.445 --> 00:21:21.345
No.

00:21:26.365 --> 00:21:27.405
Buying?

00:21:29.425 --> 00:21:31.245
Oh antique dealer.

00:21:32.065 --> 00:21:33.477
They all come to Harker.

00:21:33.527 --> 00:21:37.010
Judge Longstreet's got the best
collection in these parts.

00:21:37.130 --> 00:21:40.660
Won't do you no good, though.
No, I don't suppose he'd sell.

00:21:43.365 --> 00:21:48.145
Happen to know there any other out -of
-town buyers here? Uh, let me see.

00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:52.345
Come to think of it, there's a
fella come in this morning. Yeah?

00:21:52.465 --> 00:21:54.968
Came on the same bus with you. Oh, yeah.

00:21:56.465 --> 00:21:59.719
Left a suitcase here and
never did come back for it.

00:22:00.065 --> 00:22:02.005
He might have been one of them.

00:22:03.485 --> 00:22:04.385
No.

00:22:05.185 --> 00:22:07.496
No, he was more of the missionary type.

00:22:07.555 --> 00:22:11.112
Wasn't in here but a minute.
Just looked in the phone book.

00:22:11.232 --> 00:22:12.772
Tiny little fella he was.

00:22:13.865 --> 00:22:14.765
Thinish.

00:22:16.045 --> 00:22:17.297
Unfortunate looking.

00:22:17.945 --> 00:22:23.145
Hurt your head, mister? No, no,
nothing serious. Oh, that's too bad.

00:22:28.472 --> 00:22:31.364
It's a game you got to keep your mind on.

00:22:31.484 --> 00:22:32.384
Ha!

00:22:33.205 --> 00:22:34.425
25 cents, please.

00:22:41.871 --> 00:22:44.966
I won't pretend I'm not
disappointed. Hello, Father.

00:22:45.086 --> 00:22:49.849
Has anybody seen my brand -new husband?
Don't tell me he's deserted you already.

00:22:49.969 --> 00:22:53.779
Yes, looks as if, the brute.
Listen, Red, have you seen Charles?

00:22:53.899 --> 00:22:57.292
You go find him for me. Go on,
go find Charles. Hurry up.

00:23:25.375 --> 00:23:27.945
I've looked everywhere for him,
Mary, and I can't find him.

00:23:28.065 --> 00:23:31.565
Well, I wonder where he could be. I'm
getting worried. Are you, darling?

00:23:31.685 --> 00:23:32.585
What about?

00:23:33.165 --> 00:23:34.065
Charles.

00:23:35.085 --> 00:23:36.024
You've changed.

00:23:38.185 --> 00:23:39.909
Don't you think you'd better?

00:23:40.355 --> 00:23:44.191
After all, aren't we supposed to be
going on a honeymoon or something?

00:23:44.311 --> 00:23:45.559
Give me five minutes.

00:24:28.885 --> 00:24:30.885
(music playing)

00:24:54.965 --> 00:24:56.505
Hello there. Hello.

00:24:58.615 --> 00:25:01.020
Was that you working
up there on the clock?

00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:03.389
No, no, I was just cleaning around it.

00:25:03.509 --> 00:25:07.298
Oh, it's a beautiful thing, what
I can see out front. Beautiful.

00:25:07.348 --> 00:25:12.214
Yes? My name's Wilson. Oh, I'm Longstreet,
Noah Longstreet. I'm glad to know you.

00:25:12.525 --> 00:25:13.425
Mr. Wilson?

00:25:13.545 --> 00:25:15.673
I couldn't judge any too well out front,

00:25:15.793 --> 00:25:20.153
but I'd say it was late 16th century,
probably by Hobrecht of Strasbourg.

00:25:20.925 --> 00:25:21.825
The clock?

00:25:21.945 --> 00:25:26.086
Well, I wouldn't know. My brother
-in -law's going to work on it.

00:25:26.206 --> 00:25:29.365
Is he up there now? No,
no. He's on his honeymoon.

00:25:29.625 --> 00:25:32.441
He plans to work on it
when he gets back. Oh.

00:25:32.885 --> 00:25:33.886
Is he an expert?

00:25:34.331 --> 00:25:37.665
Well, yes, but it's really
more of a hobby with him.

00:25:37.785 --> 00:25:38.685
Really?

00:25:38.905 --> 00:25:40.645
Well, it is with me, too.

00:25:41.865 --> 00:25:45.369
He has to be back on Friday
because of the examinations.

00:25:47.525 --> 00:25:49.966
He's one of the teachers at the school.

00:25:53.125 --> 00:25:54.314
His name is Rankin.

00:25:59.615 --> 00:26:01.638
It's nice to be able to show it to someone

00:26:01.758 --> 00:26:04.165
who knows what Revere silver is all about.

00:26:04.285 --> 00:26:08.025
But personally, my specialty
is pewter. Oh yes, pewter.

00:26:10.285 --> 00:26:14.685
The Revere workmanship, although
sometimes heavy in design,

00:26:14.825 --> 00:26:19.020
almost invariably shows the
sign of a master craftsman.

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:20.284
It's beautiful.

00:26:21.385 --> 00:26:23.165
Noah. Hello. Hello, honey.

00:26:24.025 --> 00:26:25.645
Adam. mr.

00:26:26.545 --> 00:26:30.125
Wilson, my daughter Mary. How
do you do, Charles Rankin.

00:26:30.245 --> 00:26:32.025
How do you do? How do you do? I hope

00:26:32.145 --> 00:26:34.245
you don't mind my intruding
on your homecoming.

00:26:34.365 --> 00:26:39.503
Good evening, Mary. Jeff, how are you?
Fine. You're looking good. Oh Miss Mary,

00:26:39.623 --> 00:26:42.452
if you don't sit down it'll get cold.

00:26:42.453 --> 00:26:46.505
Come on, gents. Well, sister,
how were the mountains?

00:26:51.795 --> 00:26:54.385
Wilson Wilson, will you come
sit over here on my right?

00:26:54.505 --> 00:26:57.045
Jeff, your usual place,
darling. You're right there.

00:26:57.165 --> 00:27:00.139
You ought to see Charles on
skis. He's absolutely wonderful.

00:27:00.189 --> 00:27:02.801
Yes, darling, you are, and I'm
pretty good, too, aren't I? Very.

00:27:02.851 --> 00:27:03.745
Well, for a beginner.

00:27:03.820 --> 00:27:06.555
Did you remember to keep your knees
together and your apparatus in?

00:27:06.605 --> 00:27:07.605
Yes, freshie, I did.

00:27:08.612 --> 00:27:13.305
Mr. Wilson here is compiling a catalogue
of Paul Revere's silver. How nice.

00:27:13.425 --> 00:27:17.605
Mr. Wilson is also an authority on clocks.
Oh, really? That's Charless' hobby, too.

00:27:17.725 --> 00:27:19.145
Yes, so your brother tells me.

00:27:19.265 --> 00:27:22.245
I understand you're going to fix
the one in the church tower.

00:27:22.365 --> 00:27:23.366
Well, I may try.

00:27:23.957 --> 00:27:26.085
Well, that's quite an undertaking.

00:27:26.205 --> 00:27:28.585
I'll show the kind of a
wife I am, I hope he fails.

00:27:28.705 --> 00:27:32.725
I like Harper just the way it is,
even to the clock that doesn't run.

00:27:32.845 --> 00:27:35.411
Have you been at Harper long, Mr. Wilson?

00:27:37.345 --> 00:27:38.847
Since Friday a week ago.

00:27:40.065 --> 00:27:42.563
You lost today, I patched
you up on Friday.

00:27:42.683 --> 00:27:46.965
By the way, how's the head? Oh, very
much improved, thanks to you, doctor.

00:27:47.085 --> 00:27:50.654
You were hurt on Thursday,
remember? The day of the wedding.

00:27:50.774 --> 00:27:54.105
Yes, that's right. Right,
uh, Wednesday I left Bangor.

00:27:57.885 --> 00:28:00.576
You were hurt, Mr. Wilson?
Oh, nothing serious.

00:28:00.935 --> 00:28:05.005
Well, serious enough to raise a bump on
his head the size of a billiard ball.

00:28:05.125 --> 00:28:06.065
The usual door.

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:12.085
Good thing you're back, sister. That
dog of yours has been inconsolable.

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.180
Well, all right, Red, wait a minute.
Here you are. This is for missing me.

00:28:15.230 --> 00:28:16.485
How's that? Yeah,

00:28:16.605 --> 00:28:19.605
it's a good boy. How was your
meeting, Adam? Oh, irritating.

00:28:19.725 --> 00:28:24.205
irritating. Foreign Folicy Association.
I read that fellow's report.

00:28:24.325 --> 00:28:27.165
Standish, yes. I think
he's full of prunes.

00:28:27.545 --> 00:28:31.675
Well, that's the way we used to
talk in the 1930s, Noah. Standish?

00:28:31.945 --> 00:28:37.445
The London Times man of Berlin. Yes, of
course, he was quoting rumors mostly.

00:28:38.025 --> 00:28:43.265
Men drilling by night, underground
meeting places, pagan rituals.

00:28:43.625 --> 00:28:45.189
Do you believe him, Paul?

00:28:45.365 --> 00:28:46.992
Well, anything's possible.

00:28:48.212 --> 00:28:51.028
I'm sorry, sir, but I
think it's ridiculous.

00:28:51.148 --> 00:28:52.875
There may be some fanatics,

00:28:52.995 --> 00:28:57.027
but no German in his right mind
can still have a taste for war.

00:28:58.805 --> 00:29:00.808
Do you know Germany, Mr. Rankin?

00:29:03.405 --> 00:29:09.345
I'm sorry, I have a way of making
enemies when I'm on that subject.

00:29:09.465 --> 00:29:11.856
subject, it's pretty unpopular.

00:29:11.976 --> 00:29:16.645
Well, we shall consider it the objective
opinion of an objective historian.

00:29:17.905 --> 00:29:18.805
Historian?

00:29:19.625 --> 00:29:21.936
A psychiatrist could explain it better.

00:29:22.056 --> 00:29:25.611
The German sees himself as the
innocent victim of world envy

00:29:25.731 --> 00:29:30.985
and hatred conspired against, set upon
by inferior peoples, inferior nations.

00:29:31.105 --> 00:29:35.145
He cannot admit to error, much less
to wrongdoing. Not the German.

00:29:35.265 --> 00:29:37.872
We chose to ignore
Ethiopia and Spain, vain,

00:29:37.992 --> 00:29:42.145
but we learned from our casualty list
the price of looking the other way.

00:29:42.265 --> 00:29:45.925
Men of truth everywhere have come
to know for whom the bell tolled,

00:29:46.045 --> 00:29:46.945
but not the German.

00:29:47.405 --> 00:29:52.085
He still follows his warrior gods,
marching to Wagnerian strains,

00:29:52.205 --> 00:29:55.545
his eyes still fixed upon the
fiery sword of Siegfried.

00:29:55.665 --> 00:29:57.445
And in those subterranean meeting places

00:29:57.565 --> 00:30:00.525
that you don't believe in, the
German's dream world comes alive,

00:30:00.645 --> 00:30:02.005
and he takes his place in shining

00:30:02.125 --> 00:30:05.225
armor beneath the banners
of the Teutonic Knights.

00:30:05.345 --> 00:30:09.100
It's mankind is waiting for the
Messiah, but for the German,

00:30:09.745 --> 00:30:12.186
the Messiah is not the Prince of Peace.

00:30:14.665 --> 00:30:19.045
He's another Barbarossa, another Hitler.

00:30:22.425 --> 00:30:26.045
Well, then you have no
faith in the reforms

00:30:26.165 --> 00:30:28.755
that are being effected in Germany.

00:30:29.061 --> 00:30:30.744
I don't know, Mr. Wilson.

00:30:30.864 --> 00:30:35.105
I can't believe that people can
be reformed except from within.

00:30:35.722 --> 00:30:37.766
The basic principles of equality

00:30:37.886 --> 00:30:40.605
and freedom Never have, never
will take root in Germany

00:30:40.725 --> 00:30:42.245
The will to freedom has been voiced

00:30:42.365 --> 00:30:45.941
in every other tongue All men
are created equal Liberté,

00:30:46.061 --> 00:30:51.285
égalité, fraternité But in German
There's Marx Proletarians unite,

00:30:51.405 --> 00:30:55.445
you have nothing to lose but your
chains But Marx wasn't a German,

00:30:55.565 --> 00:30:57.800
Marx was a Jew But my dear Charles,

00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.705
if we concede your argument
There is no solution Well,

00:31:01.825 --> 00:31:05.479
I'll say once again, I differ
Well, what is it then?

00:31:07.405 --> 00:31:08.305
Annihilation

00:31:09.365 --> 00:31:11.618
You're down to the last babe in arms.

00:31:12.945 --> 00:31:17.805
Oh, Charles, I can't imagine you're
advocating a Carthaginian peace Well,

00:31:17.925 --> 00:31:18.851
as an historian,

00:31:18.971 --> 00:31:20.945
I must remind you that
the world hasn't had much

00:31:21.065 --> 00:31:24.365
trouble from Carthage in
the past 2 ,000 years Well,

00:31:24.485 --> 00:31:26.512
there speaks our pedagogue

00:31:28.014 --> 00:31:30.705
Well, speaking of
teachers, Mr. Wilson Yes,

00:31:30.825 --> 00:31:33.105
yeah The faculty is coming
for tea next Tuesday.

00:31:33.225 --> 00:31:36.980
If you have nothing better to
do, would you like to join us?

00:31:37.265 --> 00:31:39.893
I'd like to, but my work here is finished.

00:31:42.745 --> 00:31:44.497
I'm leaving Harper tomorrow.

00:31:50.385 --> 00:31:55.391
Extraordinary, isn't it? Clocks being Mr.
Wilson's hobby, too. He is, isn't it?

00:31:55.511 --> 00:31:58.561
Well, Red, how do you like your new
house? He loves it. Come here, Red.

00:31:58.611 --> 00:32:00.570
I think I'll take you for
a walk. Come this way.

00:32:00.645 --> 00:32:03.910
Oh, darling, you don't have to take him
out. Just let him out. He won't run off.

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:06.387
All right. I need the walk.
I'm restless. Come on, boy.

00:32:10.185 --> 00:32:11.085
That's good.

00:32:11.685 --> 00:32:13.249
How are you coming along?

00:32:13.685 --> 00:32:18.065
I'll be in Washington tomorrow
afternoon. You were right about Rankin.

00:32:19.305 --> 00:32:20.619
He's above suspicion.

00:32:29.365 --> 00:32:31.365
(music playing)

00:32:54.425 --> 00:32:55.325
Here, Red.

00:33:00.065 --> 00:33:01.004
Red, come here.

00:33:40.945 --> 00:33:42.447
Give me a long distance.

00:33:44.225 --> 00:33:45.825
I want Washington, D .C.

00:34:00.545 --> 00:34:04.625
Well, who but a Nazi would deny
that Karl Marx was a German

00:34:04.745 --> 00:34:10.465
because he was a Jew? I think
I'll stick around for a while.

00:34:43.265 --> 00:34:44.329
What is it, dear?

00:34:47.365 --> 00:34:52.605
Oh, I'm sorry. I was dreaming
about that little man.

00:34:55.685 --> 00:34:56.686
What little man?

00:34:58.425 --> 00:35:00.991
Oh, you know, dear, I told you about him.

00:35:01.925 --> 00:35:04.240
He came here the day we were married.

00:35:06.845 --> 00:35:08.848
Light me a cigarette, would you?

00:35:13.445 --> 00:35:15.948
I've never had a dream like that before.

00:35:17.165 --> 00:35:18.229
It frightened me.

00:35:19.665 --> 00:35:20.565
Thanks.

00:35:24.965 --> 00:35:31.965
You know, that little man was walking all
by himself across a deserted city square.

00:35:33.525 --> 00:35:36.145
Wherever he moved, he threw a shadow.

00:35:38.085 --> 00:35:40.088
But when he moved away, Charles,

00:35:40.985 --> 00:35:45.303
the shadow stayed there behind him
and spread out just like a carpet.

00:35:48.405 --> 00:35:52.410
I wish you could think who he
might have been. You're overtired.

00:35:53.585 --> 00:35:54.485
Yes, perhaps.

00:35:59.505 --> 00:36:01.695
Here, dear, put this out, will you?

00:36:09.475 --> 00:36:13.985
Now, fishing any good in these parts?
Pretty fair. Would you like to come along?

00:36:14.105 --> 00:36:17.685
I'm afraid I've got the wrong clothes
on, but the fish probably won't mind.

00:36:17.805 --> 00:36:18.705
Thank you.

00:36:29.185 --> 00:36:31.500
I'm just not lucky today, that's all.

00:36:31.965 --> 00:36:37.371
Would you like a candy bar? Oh, I don't
mind if I do, thank you. You're welcome.

00:36:37.491 --> 00:36:41.825
All your folks like fishing? Oh, my dad's
great. He always brings in something.

00:36:41.945 --> 00:36:47.645
Think what about Charles? Charles?
Oh, I have to call him Mr.

00:36:47.765 --> 00:36:50.645
Rankin at school. I get a
little mixed up sometimes.

00:36:50.765 --> 00:36:54.605
He spends most of his time
on the clock, you know.

00:36:54.725 --> 00:36:59.365
Why don't you like him,
now what do you mean?

00:36:59.485 --> 00:37:03.845
You don't like your brother-in-law.
It's not my business,

00:37:03.965 --> 00:37:09.505
but I wish you'd tell me
why. Well, I like him

00:37:09.625 --> 00:37:14.625
well enough. The only reason
why I shouldn't. Don't tell me

00:37:14.745 --> 00:37:17.865
I'm butting in because I
know I am, but I can't

00:37:17.985 --> 00:37:23.365
help myself. It's my business. I
hate bringing you into this, Noah,

00:37:23.485 --> 00:37:28.100
but you're the only one I can
turn to. I need your help very

00:37:28.220 --> 00:37:34.265
badly. Well, what is it? Your sister
may be in great trouble. I know

00:37:34.385 --> 00:37:37.945
that you're man man enough for what
I'm going to ask you to do for her.

00:37:38.065 --> 00:37:41.225
The truth is, I'm not
really an antique dealer.

00:37:43.985 --> 00:37:46.565
I'm a sort of a detective.

00:37:51.145 --> 00:37:53.898
Well, what do you want
me to do, Mr. Wilson?

00:37:54.018 --> 00:37:55.065
It would help me a lot

00:37:55.140 --> 00:37:57.875
if I knew every move Charles Rankin
made on the day of his wedding,

00:37:57.925 --> 00:37:59.169
right up to the ceremony.

00:37:59.345 --> 00:38:02.945
Well, I should be able to
unless Charles realizes

00:38:03.065 --> 00:38:09.665
what I'm doing I'll keep him busy gee mr.

00:38:12.914 --> 00:38:16.247
Wilson, you must be wrong.
Mary wouldn't fall in love

00:38:16.367 --> 00:38:19.439
with that kind of a man
I hope I am come wrong,

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:21.585
Noah, but that's the way it is.

00:38:22.305 --> 00:38:25.121
People can't help who
they fall in love with.

00:38:38.945 --> 00:38:42.136
Good evening, Mr. Potter.
Good evening, Mr. Wilson.

00:38:47.325 --> 00:38:48.225
85 cents.

00:38:54.745 --> 00:38:58.875
Here you and Professor England aim
to fix the clock. That's right.

00:39:11.545 --> 00:39:13.923
Figured to tell time rightly? Uh -huh.

00:39:17.385 --> 00:39:20.138
And will the angel circle
around the belfry?

00:39:27.005 --> 00:39:29.571
Is that a man or woman angel, Mr. Wilson?

00:39:29.885 --> 00:39:30.825
I don't know.

00:39:37.105 --> 00:39:41.173
Well, I reckon it don't make much
of a difference amongst angels.

00:39:44.325 --> 00:39:45.465
Give up?

00:39:46.205 --> 00:39:50.265
No, no, no, we'll play it out.
That's my privilege, 25 cents.

00:39:51.365 --> 00:39:56.985
Oh, by the way, did Mr. Rankin pick
up his supper this evening? No.

00:39:59.665 --> 00:40:02.293
He generally gets through
up there about now.

00:40:02.905 --> 00:40:04.205
Yes, I know.

00:40:04.325 --> 00:40:10.925
no. Gets dark earlier these days.

00:40:33.875 --> 00:40:37.570
Our little man never did pick
up his suitcase, did he? No.

00:40:37.690 --> 00:40:38.590
Strange.

00:40:38.725 --> 00:40:40.102
Ain't it, though, huh?

00:40:40.865 --> 00:40:44.933
I've been tempted once or twice
to look and see what's inside it.

00:40:45.325 --> 00:40:46.639
It ain't even locked.

00:40:46.759 --> 00:40:48.759
Well, it seems to me that
under the circumstances

00:40:48.845 --> 00:40:50.565
that you have a perfect right.

00:40:50.685 --> 00:40:51.585
You do?

00:40:53.375 --> 00:40:55.869
I wouldn't want to do it
without a witness. Well,

00:40:55.989 --> 00:40:57.148
that's mean. It is?

00:40:57.268 --> 00:40:59.265
Well, that's all I wanted to know.

00:40:59.385 --> 00:41:02.585
I'm trying to look in that
safe and secret bin here.

00:41:02.705 --> 00:41:04.465
I wonder what's in it.

00:41:07.305 --> 00:41:08.205
Soylenium.

00:41:09.205 --> 00:41:10.105
Sweater.

00:41:11.065 --> 00:41:16.005
Soap and a razor wrapped in a towel with
S .S. Christobel written across it.

00:41:16.165 --> 00:41:18.565
A pair of old shoes. Yeah.

00:41:19.325 --> 00:41:20.225
Yeah.

00:41:21.129 --> 00:41:26.184
Nothing but religious pamphlets. Yep,
that's all. Good evening, Mr. Potter.

00:41:26.304 --> 00:41:29.895
Oh, hello, Mr. Wilson. Mr.
Wilson, hi. He was drinking.

00:41:30.635 --> 00:41:35.495
Mr. Potter and I have been poking our
noses into somebody else's business.

00:41:35.835 --> 00:41:39.715
That suitcase. A chap left it
here and he never did call back.

00:41:39.765 --> 00:41:44.295
That's been more than two weeks ago. Did
he say what he was doing, In. Harper?

00:41:44.415 --> 00:41:48.335
No, looked in the phone book, didn't
telephone. Kind of funny looking he was.

00:41:48.455 --> 00:41:52.735
A scrawny little fellow with big
starry blue eyes. Had a queer walk.

00:41:53.095 --> 00:41:55.723
Like any second he might break into a run.

00:41:56.075 --> 00:41:59.203
Did he have a foreign accent?
Why yes, Yes, he did.

00:41:59.323 --> 00:42:02.819
But not so much of an accent
as a foreign way of talking.

00:42:02.939 --> 00:42:06.066
Do you happen to know who
he could be, Mrs. Rankin?

00:42:07.495 --> 00:42:08.395
Why, why no.

00:42:11.615 --> 00:42:14.806
I was just trying to complete
your mystery for you.

00:42:15.615 --> 00:42:19.182
Don't all foreign strangers
have to have foreign accents?

00:42:22.935 --> 00:42:25.215
Mary, have you seen Red? Why, no.

00:42:25.335 --> 00:42:27.539
Not since I took him home to
you a couple of days ago.

00:42:27.614 --> 00:42:29.420
He's been spending all his
time out in the woods,

00:42:29.495 --> 00:42:31.257
and he doesn't even come
home for his meals.

00:42:31.307 --> 00:42:33.275
But you told me he never
ran away. He never did.

00:42:33.395 --> 00:42:36.399
No, that's why Noah's so
anxious. Come on, Mary.

00:42:37.495 --> 00:42:41.563
Good night, Mr. Wilson. Good night.
Good night, Noah. Good night.

00:42:54.915 --> 00:42:57.105
Were you able to find out anything?

00:42:59.155 --> 00:43:02.972
Monarchy did go to Rankin's house.
And your sister did see him.

00:43:04.415 --> 00:43:09.335
Did Mary say so? She started to. Now
your sister is a fine woman, Noah,

00:43:09.455 --> 00:43:13.995
but she must find out the kind of
man she's married to. You don't

00:43:14.115 --> 00:43:16.296
know Mary. She she wouldn't listen

00:43:16.416 --> 00:43:19.315
to anything against him,
much less believe... Noah,

00:43:19.435 --> 00:43:23.666
we must arrange it so that she finds
out for herself you understand stand?

00:43:24.935 --> 00:43:25.835
Yes.

00:43:25.955 --> 00:43:29.489
One thing's certain, she knows
nothing now, nothing at all.

00:43:29.609 --> 00:43:33.861
Except that he didn't want her to
admit having seen someone she did see.

00:43:34.545 --> 00:43:38.770
I'd give something to know what
explanation he's making right now.

00:43:38.890 --> 00:43:40.555
I was a student in Geneva.

00:43:42.095 --> 00:43:43.159
There was a girl.

00:43:45.395 --> 00:43:49.525
The night before I was to leave,
we went out on the lake together.

00:43:49.885 --> 00:43:53.435
She told me unless I promised
to marry her, she'd never

00:43:53.555 --> 00:44:00.015
return to show her oh I thought
she was joking, naturally, but...

00:44:01.595 --> 00:44:06.575
She wasn't. Before I could stop
her, she stood up in the boat.

00:44:11.895 --> 00:44:16.155
Well, I I dived in after
her, but it was too late.

00:44:16.275 --> 00:44:20.735
She was gone. Only one person knew
we were on the lake together.

00:44:20.855 --> 00:44:21.755
Her brother.

00:44:21.939 --> 00:44:24.755
He knew I hadn't murdered
her, but he told me

00:44:24.875 --> 00:44:28.379
he'd be willing to call it an
accident for compensation.

00:44:28.675 --> 00:44:31.303
I gave him all I had and left Switzerland.

00:44:31.635 --> 00:44:34.884
As the years went by, I
allowed myself to believe

00:44:35.004 --> 00:44:37.325
that the dead past really was dead.

00:44:38.335 --> 00:44:45.275
And then, on our wedding day, Mary,
he appeared again. Her brother.

00:44:46.015 --> 00:44:47.392
The little little man.

00:44:50.042 --> 00:44:53.195
I gave him all the money
I had in the world,

00:44:53.315 --> 00:44:56.075
and he went away again.

00:44:58.695 --> 00:45:02.735
Oh, darling, you should have told me.

00:45:03.455 --> 00:45:08.015
not carried this... this awful
thing around by yourself.

00:45:10.635 --> 00:45:14.975
You're a very wonderful
person. I love you very much.

00:45:21.455 --> 00:45:22.535
Oh, Charles.

00:45:27.435 --> 00:45:30.355
Why didn't Can't he go
back for his things?

00:45:33.135 --> 00:45:34.035
Well,

00:45:35.895 --> 00:45:39.895
I suppose once he had money,
he could afford better.

00:45:41.078 --> 00:45:43.060
Darling, I'm terribly nervous.

00:45:43.180 --> 00:45:48.135
I think I'll work up in the clock alone
tonight by myself. It will calm me.

00:45:50.355 --> 00:45:53.484
You understand, don't you?
Of course I understand.

00:45:55.135 --> 00:45:56.512
Shall I walk you home?

00:45:57.135 --> 00:45:59.325
No, dear, there's no need for that.

00:46:01.875 --> 00:46:04.766
It's pretty late. That's
all right. In Harper,

00:46:04.886 --> 00:46:06.898
there's nothing to be afraid of.

00:46:11.255 --> 00:46:12.155
I love you.

00:46:27.735 --> 00:46:28.755
Poor old Red.

00:46:29.635 --> 00:46:31.512
He heard my whistle, I'll bet.

00:46:31.955 --> 00:46:33.770
He couldn't bark or anything.

00:46:35.155 --> 00:46:37.283
He just crawled this far and died.

00:46:38.955 --> 00:46:42.334
Why do you think he died?
Well, let's go and find out.

00:46:54.497 --> 00:46:58.815
That's young Longstreet's dog, Red.
Looks like he's dead to me. Yeah.

00:46:58.935 --> 00:47:01.876
They're taking him up to
Dr. Lawrence's office.

00:47:02.235 --> 00:47:06.803
Would you know anything about it? I
wonder if we're up to match with him.

00:47:07.735 --> 00:47:08.635
Checkers?

00:47:10.395 --> 00:47:11.415
No, no thanks.

00:47:12.895 --> 00:47:14.209
That Coke's a nickel.

00:47:18.015 --> 00:47:19.392
Thank you, Mr. Rankin.

00:47:25.965 --> 00:47:29.455
How long could the dog have lived
with that amount of poison in him?

00:47:29.575 --> 00:47:32.203
Oh, not more than a minute or so, I'd say.

00:47:32.253 --> 00:47:35.815
Well, then Red must have
been poisoned within a few

00:47:35.935 --> 00:47:38.626
hundred yards of where
you found him, Noah.

00:47:39.165 --> 00:47:41.567
And the latter part of the distance,

00:47:41.687 --> 00:47:44.655
he must have been moving
slower and slower.

00:47:49.715 --> 00:47:51.467
Thank you very much, Doctor.

00:47:51.795 --> 00:47:52.695
Thanks, Jeff.

00:47:54.650 --> 00:47:56.689
Mr. Peabody, would you please get

00:47:56.809 --> 00:47:59.528
that magazine rack in
and hurry up about it?

00:47:59.648 --> 00:48:00.636
Yes, Mr. Potter.

00:48:02.135 --> 00:48:04.388
Hurry up about it. Move along and...

00:48:05.495 --> 00:48:06.872
Afternoon, Mr. Wilson.

00:48:07.235 --> 00:48:09.863
Afternoon, Noah. Bring him right in there.

00:48:23.825 --> 00:48:25.835
What does the law say about this kind

00:48:25.955 --> 00:48:28.646
of murder? Is it the
same as killing a man?

00:48:30.595 --> 00:48:32.660
It ought to be. It's just as bad.

00:48:33.355 --> 00:48:34.419
Four paws, muddy.

00:48:35.955 --> 00:48:37.035
No mud on hind.

00:48:39.535 --> 00:48:41.412
Dry leaves mixed with the mud.

00:48:42.525 --> 00:48:45.255
Red must have been digging
somewhere in the woods.

00:48:45.375 --> 00:48:47.816
Have you any idea what for, Mr. Wilson?

00:48:52.495 --> 00:48:53.895
The body, I think.

00:48:54.875 --> 00:48:56.855
Mine, in case. The little man.

00:48:59.975 --> 00:49:00.875
Then...

00:49:14.665 --> 00:49:19.015
caught me? Anything wrong? Wrong?
Oh, you mean blowing up like this?

00:49:19.135 --> 00:49:23.235
Yeah, just going on a search. What you
after? Found a machine arm. What search?

00:49:23.355 --> 00:49:26.575
For the body. State police
deputized half the town.

00:49:26.695 --> 00:49:30.875
Just reach up there, for a shell. One
misses the news up in the clock tower.

00:49:30.995 --> 00:49:35.095
What body are they searching for? My
bet is the fella left his bags here.

00:49:35.215 --> 00:49:36.404
Strong little duck.

00:49:37.115 --> 00:49:42.815
Unhappy looking. I knew he'd come to a bad
end. That order will be 15 cents, mister.

00:49:43.375 --> 00:49:45.878
First, I'll just put it on your account.

00:49:56.635 --> 00:49:58.700
Oh, Sarah told me you're up here.

00:50:00.135 --> 00:50:05.275
Why are you packing? Are we going
somewhere? We aren't, dearest. I am.

00:50:06.665 --> 00:50:08.328
What are you talking about?

00:50:08.448 --> 00:50:11.435
As a rule, men leave their wives
because they don't love them,

00:50:11.555 --> 00:50:14.015
but I must leave you because I do.

00:50:14.135 --> 00:50:18.665
Oh, you won't object once you know
the kind of man you've married.

00:50:23.135 --> 00:50:27.015
But you are the man I've married,
and that's all that matters.

00:50:27.135 --> 00:50:30.639
Darling, I meant it when I
said for better or for worse.

00:50:31.615 --> 00:50:32.515
Even to...

00:50:33.935 --> 00:50:34.995
To killing Red.

00:50:40.995 --> 00:50:41.895
You couldn't.

00:50:45.995 --> 00:50:47.184
It was an accident.

00:50:48.015 --> 00:50:49.517
No, I meant to kill him.

00:50:50.403 --> 00:50:52.155
Murder can be a chain, Mary,

00:50:52.275 --> 00:50:55.717
one link leading to another
until it circles your neck.

00:50:57.215 --> 00:51:01.015
Red was digging at the
grave of the man I killed.

00:51:01.815 --> 00:51:03.129
Yes, your little man.

00:51:05.695 --> 00:51:06.855
You killed him?

00:51:08.175 --> 00:51:09.239
With these hands.

00:51:11.075 --> 00:51:16.206
The same hands that have held you close to
me. How are you satisfied to let me go?

00:51:17.395 --> 00:51:18.295
Why?

00:51:18.575 --> 00:51:23.615
Why did you do it? I'd have given him all
I had, but his dreams were far grander.

00:51:23.735 --> 00:51:25.815
He knew that your father was well -to -do.

00:51:25.935 --> 00:51:28.735
He knew that Justice Longstreet
would be glad to protect

00:51:28.855 --> 00:51:32.797
his daughter from any scandal by
paying a few thousand dollars.

00:51:33.695 --> 00:51:36.316
Oh, Mary, I should have gone away

00:51:36.436 --> 00:51:38.875
and lost myself in a world
where he could never find me,

00:51:38.995 --> 00:51:42.275
but I loved you.

00:51:43.395 --> 00:51:44.375
And I was weak.

00:51:46.615 --> 00:51:47.515
Darling.

00:51:50.155 --> 00:51:52.220
If one of us goes, we'll both go.

00:51:53.535 --> 00:51:56.852
You would have shared half
my trouble if I'd had any.

00:51:58.335 --> 00:51:59.235
Charles.

00:52:00.315 --> 00:52:03.006
What is there to connect
you with that man?

00:52:05.655 --> 00:52:06.781
Nothing, actually.

00:52:07.475 --> 00:52:10.400
You're the only one that knows I knew him.

00:52:10.520 --> 00:52:14.575
Well, then you need have no fear.
if I'm the only one who can speak.

00:52:14.695 --> 00:52:17.535
But, Mary, in failing to speak,

00:52:19.035 --> 00:52:20.850
you become part of the crime.

00:52:21.715 --> 00:52:23.530
But I'm already a part of it.

00:52:24.755 --> 00:52:26.382
Because I'm a part of you.

00:52:29.425 --> 00:52:32.275
But you shuddered at the
first touch of my hands

00:52:32.395 --> 00:52:34.648
as though it was the touch of death.

00:52:35.775 --> 00:52:36.675
It's nerves.

00:52:38.255 --> 00:52:40.883
Oh, hold me close, Charles. Hold me close.

00:52:44.965 --> 00:52:47.375
Mr. Peabody, you go back
to town with the sheriff

00:52:47.450 --> 00:52:48.797
and open up the coroner's office.

00:52:48.847 --> 00:52:52.955
Yes, sir. I knew darn well it was the same
fellow. Of course, he's changed some.

00:52:53.075 --> 00:52:55.203
Being buried in the earth does it.

00:52:55.323 --> 00:52:58.815
Evening, Mr. Wilson. Evening,
Mr. Potter. Evening, Noah.

00:52:58.935 --> 00:53:01.188
Evening, Mr. Potter. Mess, ain't it?

00:53:02.285 --> 00:53:06.695
What do we do about Mary? We can't leave
her alone with him now that we know.

00:53:06.815 --> 00:53:11.759
Well, she realizes now that whatever story
he told her about Meineke was false.

00:53:15.575 --> 00:53:19.330
Noah, I think your sister should
be ready to hear the truth.

00:53:22.835 --> 00:53:23.735
Charles.

00:53:25.235 --> 00:53:27.425
Will they make me look at the body?

00:53:29.575 --> 00:53:30.889
I shouldn't think so.

00:53:32.775 --> 00:53:34.339
Because I couldn't do it.

00:53:35.255 --> 00:53:37.132
I mean, I don't think I could.

00:53:37.795 --> 00:53:39.985
See, I've never seen a dead person.

00:53:41.075 --> 00:53:48.075
I... Mean you're having to tea,
Mary? Twenty-eight altogether,

00:53:49.244 --> 00:53:52.603
I think, dear. You didn't
eat nothing at dinner. Isn't

00:53:52.723 --> 00:53:54.743
that rather a lot? You'll be
fainting again, Miss Mary.

00:53:54.744 --> 00:53:57.203
Twenty -eight for just you and Sarah
no Oh, we'll manage all right.

00:53:57.323 --> 00:54:04.155
But suppose I should... Should
what? I don't know. Only

00:54:04.275 --> 00:54:07.795
know I'm I'm terrified of
seeing anybody or being seen.

00:54:07.915 --> 00:54:10.735
Mary, you must get a
tight hold of yourself.

00:54:10.785 --> 00:54:13.435
If you're determined to go
through with this thing,

00:54:13.510 --> 00:54:16.612
you've still before it exactly what
you're going to do and say at all times.

00:54:16.662 --> 00:54:18.280
Perfect naturalness at all times.

00:54:20.355 --> 00:54:22.335
Now, darling, listen to me.

00:54:23.135 --> 00:54:24.035
Darling.

00:54:26.175 --> 00:54:30.377
I am prepared to go to the police.
It's your father, Miss Mary.

00:54:30.497 --> 00:54:34.032
He wants to talk to you.
Yes, thank you, Sarah. Mary.

00:54:46.735 --> 00:54:47.635
Hello?

00:54:49.215 --> 00:54:50.216
Yes, I think so.

00:54:51.055 --> 00:54:52.745
Just a minute and I'll see.

00:54:53.655 --> 00:54:55.219
He wants me to come over.

00:54:55.835 --> 00:54:56.899
Did he ask me to?

00:54:57.875 --> 00:55:00.003
He said he wanted to see me alone.

00:55:00.785 --> 00:55:05.546
There's nothing unusual about a father
wanting to see his daughter, is there?

00:55:05.666 --> 00:55:06.566
Is there? No.

00:55:09.915 --> 00:55:12.168
All right, Adam, I'll be right over.

00:55:12.705 --> 00:55:14.705
(music playing)

00:55:16.007 --> 00:55:20.075
Don't you think that's rather
strange? Strange? No, it's strange.

00:55:20.195 --> 00:55:21.455
Tell you what I'll do.

00:55:21.530 --> 00:55:24.754
I'll go over to the church and work on
the clock while you're with your father.

00:55:24.804 --> 00:55:27.050
And you can buy and pick me up later.

00:55:27.915 --> 00:55:28.815
I'm so afraid.

00:55:30.285 --> 00:55:32.627
It was so pointed that he
wanted to see me alone,

00:55:32.747 --> 00:55:34.846
and his voice sounded so different.

00:55:34.966 --> 00:55:37.964
Hey, you know what you're
going to say, don't you?

00:55:56.555 --> 00:55:57.494
Come in, Mary.

00:56:01.815 --> 00:56:03.004
Is something wrong?

00:56:03.296 --> 00:56:04.735
You know about the body

00:56:04.855 --> 00:56:07.546
that was discovered
yesterday, Mrs. Rankin?

00:56:08.235 --> 00:56:09.135
Yes.

00:56:09.855 --> 00:56:11.795
Did you ever meet the deceased?

00:56:12.435 --> 00:56:15.689
No, no, no, I never met him.
Have you seen the body?

00:56:17.415 --> 00:56:18.315
No.

00:56:19.075 --> 00:56:22.455
Well, then, how can you be
sure you never met him?

00:56:24.395 --> 00:56:26.272
Of course, I can't be certain.

00:56:27.671 --> 00:56:31.575
Mr. Wilson, do you suspect me
of something? If so, what?

00:56:31.695 --> 00:56:35.517
Of shielding a murderer.
Perhaps this photograph

00:56:35.637 --> 00:56:39.703
will refresh your memory.
Do you recognize this man?

00:56:39.823 --> 00:56:44.255
That is Conrad Meineke,
commander in charge of one

00:56:44.375 --> 00:56:48.441
of the more efficient
concentration camps. You know

00:56:48.561 --> 00:56:51.407
him, don't you? You have met him here

00:56:51.527 --> 00:56:55.105
in Harper no no I've
never seen that man mr.

00:56:55.225 --> 00:56:56.315
Wilson

00:56:57.885 --> 00:57:00.235
uh Judge, would you mind putting out

00:57:00.355 --> 00:57:04.115
the lights? I've been showing
your father some films,

00:57:04.235 --> 00:57:06.895
and I'd like you to see them, too. I'm

00:57:07.015 --> 00:57:09.215
on the Allied Commission
for the Punishment of War

00:57:09.335 --> 00:57:15.935
criminals. It's my job to bring
escaped Nazis to justice. It's

00:57:16.455 --> 00:57:18.583
that job that brought me to Harper.

00:57:22.335 --> 00:57:24.506
Well, surely you don't think that...

00:57:24.626 --> 00:57:28.606
Mr. Wilson, I've never... I've
never so much as even seen a Nancy.

00:57:28.726 --> 00:57:31.259
Well, you might without your realizing it.

00:57:31.379 --> 00:57:36.264
They look like other people and act like
other people when it's to their benefit.

00:57:39.455 --> 00:57:41.875
A gas chamber, Mrs. Rankin.

00:57:42.585 --> 00:57:47.255
The candidates were first given hot
showers so that their pores would be open

00:57:47.375 --> 00:57:50.191
and the gas would act
that much more quickly.

00:57:52.335 --> 00:57:55.694
And this is a lime pit in
which hundreds of men,

00:57:55.814 --> 00:57:58.473
women, and children were buried alive.

00:58:01.175 --> 00:58:05.430
Why do you want me to look at these
horrors? All this you're seeing,

00:58:08.655 --> 00:58:10.720
it's all the product of one mind.

00:58:11.875 --> 00:58:13.475
The mind of a man named

00:58:15.075 --> 00:58:16.115
Franz Kindler.

00:58:17.395 --> 00:58:18.435
Franz Kindler?

00:58:18.555 --> 00:58:22.735
Yes, he was the most brilliant of the
younger minds from the Nazi party.

00:58:22.855 --> 00:58:25.975
It was Kindler who conceived
the theory of genocide,

00:58:26.095 --> 00:58:28.615
mass depopulation of conquered countries,

00:58:28.735 --> 00:58:30.515
so that regardless of who won the war,

00:58:30.635 --> 00:58:35.095
Germany would emerge the strongest nation
in Western Europe, biologically speaking.

00:58:35.215 --> 00:58:38.156
Unlike Goebbels, Himmler,
and the rest of them,

00:58:38.276 --> 00:58:40.335
Kindler had a passion for anonymity.

00:58:40.455 --> 00:58:43.021
The newspapers carried no picture of him.

00:58:43.141 --> 00:58:43.775
Oh, no.

00:58:43.895 --> 00:58:46.815
And just before he disappeared,
he destroyed every evidence

00:58:46.935 --> 00:58:49.835
that might link him to this past,
down to the last fingerprint.

00:58:49.955 --> 00:58:54.586
There's no clue to the identity of
Franz Kindler, except one little thing.

00:58:55.655 --> 00:58:58.534
He has a hobby that almost
amounts to a mania.

00:58:59.595 --> 00:59:00.495
Clocks.

00:59:02.795 --> 00:59:04.234
So have lots of people.

00:59:04.735 --> 00:59:09.215
You, yourself. Well, I'm not
quite finished, Mrs. Rankin.

00:59:10.815 --> 00:59:15.070
In prison, in Czechoslovakia, a war
criminal was awaiting execution.

00:59:15.535 --> 00:59:19.978
This was Konrad Meinige, one -time
executive officer for Franz Kindler.

00:59:20.515 --> 00:59:23.331
He was an obscenity on
the face of the earth.

00:59:23.794 --> 00:59:26.735
The stench of burning
flesh was in his clothes.

00:59:26.855 --> 00:59:31.548
But we gave him his freedom on the
chance that he might lead me to Kindler.

00:59:31.815 --> 00:59:33.567
He led me here, Mrs. Rankin.

00:59:34.535 --> 00:59:35.975
And here I lost him.

00:59:37.095 --> 00:59:38.096
Until yesterday.

00:59:38.765 --> 00:59:40.875
Your dog, Rhett, found him for me.

00:59:40.995 --> 00:59:43.936
But unfortunately, Meineke
was dead and buried.

00:59:44.855 --> 00:59:46.695
Now, in all the world,

00:59:48.695 --> 00:59:52.515
there's only one person who
can identify Franz Kindler.

00:59:53.515 --> 00:59:55.580
That person is the one who knows,

00:59:56.795 --> 01:00:00.135
knows definitely, who Meineke
came to harbor to see.

01:00:07.015 --> 01:00:10.355
No, he's not an answer. My
Charles is not in Apsley.

01:00:13.165 --> 01:00:15.375
You were in Rankin's house
during the afternoon

01:00:15.495 --> 01:00:16.638
of the day you were married.

01:00:16.713 --> 01:00:19.480
Where? Rankin's house. Oh, yes, yes.
Did anyone come while you were there?

01:00:19.555 --> 01:00:22.371
Not that I remember. Now, try hard
to remember. It's not so long ago.

01:00:22.421 --> 01:00:26.555
Only two weeks. You were hanging curtains.
No one came. Were you alone all the time?

01:00:26.675 --> 01:00:28.175
No. Who else was there?

01:00:29.295 --> 01:00:30.195
Charles.

01:00:30.315 --> 01:00:32.155
He came right after his last class,

01:00:32.275 --> 01:00:34.975
and we were together
for more than an hour.

01:00:35.092 --> 01:00:37.500
You have nothing to link my
husband with this man, Kindler,

01:00:37.575 --> 01:00:40.355
except a wild suspicion.
It's a ridiculous suspicion.

01:00:40.475 --> 01:00:43.175
You're trying to use me to implicate him,

01:00:43.295 --> 01:00:47.015
and you can't. You can't involve
me in a lie. That's... That's all

01:00:47.135 --> 01:00:50.535
it is is a lie it's a lie
you You know, it's a lie.

01:00:50.895 --> 01:00:52.735
It's a lie. Mary, Mary.

01:00:54.015 --> 01:00:55.267
Wait a minute, Mary.

01:01:03.995 --> 01:01:04.895
Mary.

01:01:06.015 --> 01:01:07.392
Wait a minute, sister.

01:01:14.955 --> 01:01:15.855
That's better.

01:01:36.975 --> 01:01:41.981
You know that your welfare and Noah's
means more to me than anything, don't you?

01:01:43.435 --> 01:01:44.335
Yes. Yes.

01:01:45.515 --> 01:01:49.270
You've got to face this thing
with complete honesty, sister.

01:01:49.935 --> 01:01:54.691
Your entire happiness may well depend
on your telling me the absolute truth.

01:01:56.655 --> 01:01:57.975
Mr. Wilson is right.

01:01:58.155 --> 01:02:00.846
And you have innocently
married a criminal.

01:02:01.335 --> 01:02:06.154
Well, then there is no marriage. There's
no call upon your loyalty as a wife.

01:02:06.815 --> 01:02:07.715
He's good.

01:02:09.435 --> 01:02:14.917
He's good. He wouldn't hurt anybody
except to protect somebody he loves.

01:02:15.037 --> 01:02:18.615
He's good. Well, then the
truth can't hurt him.

01:02:23.237 --> 01:02:27.584
Charles was not with you that
afternoon, sister I remember you saying

01:02:27.704 --> 01:02:31.170
so when you came home You're
against him too, Adam Yes,

01:02:31.290 --> 01:02:33.595
you are! You've never liked him that's

01:02:33.715 --> 01:02:35.795
why you don't believe
me now Leave us alone,

01:02:35.915 --> 01:02:41.295
Adam! He's not an Etsy He's not one of
those people! He's not! Leave us alone!

01:02:47.295 --> 01:02:49.095
She has the facts now now.

01:02:50.435 --> 01:02:52.062
But she won't accept them.

01:02:53.675 --> 01:02:56.428
They're too horrible
for her to acknowledge.

01:02:57.545 --> 01:02:59.815
Not so much that Rankin could be Kindler,

01:02:59.935 --> 01:03:03.877
but that she could ever have given
her love to such a creature.

01:03:05.855 --> 01:03:08.595
But we have one ally, her subconscious.

01:03:08.645 --> 01:03:11.543
It knows what the truth
is and is struggling

01:03:11.663 --> 01:03:14.595
to be heard. The will to truth

01:03:14.715 --> 01:03:19.835
within your daughter is much too strong
to be denied. But look here, Wilson,

01:03:19.955 --> 01:03:23.147
if he's not Charles Rankin,
we should be able to expose

01:03:23.267 --> 01:03:26.295
him without too much difficulty.
I'm not interested in proving

01:03:26.370 --> 01:03:28.819
that he isn't Charles Rankin.
I'm only interested in proving

01:03:28.869 --> 01:03:31.712
that he's Franz Kindler. How
do you propose to do that?

01:03:35.795 --> 01:03:41.395
through your daughter unless I'm mistaken
she's headed for a breakdown down.

01:03:41.515 --> 01:03:44.688
That's the usual result of a
person being inwardly divided.

01:03:44.738 --> 01:03:47.840
Rankin will recognize this and that's
what I'm banking on. What do you mean?

01:03:47.915 --> 01:03:50.813
Well, he can't afford to trust a
person approaching hysteria. He won't.

01:03:50.863 --> 01:03:51.795
He'll have to act.

01:03:51.915 --> 01:03:53.815
He may try to escape before she collapses,

01:03:53.935 --> 01:03:56.563
which would only be an admission of guilt.

01:03:56.975 --> 01:03:58.795
Or... Go on.

01:03:59.635 --> 01:04:00.636
He may kill her.

01:04:02.745 --> 01:04:06.217
You're shocked at my cold -bloodedness.
Well, that's quite natural.

01:04:06.337 --> 01:04:07.305
You're a father.

01:04:07.425 --> 01:04:09.482
And it's because you are a father,

01:04:09.602 --> 01:04:12.749
Judge Longstreet, that I'm
talking to you like this.

01:04:13.395 --> 01:04:16.524
Naturally, we'll try to
prevent murder being done.

01:04:18.545 --> 01:04:22.515
However, the proof that murder is a
thing would be the strongest evidence

01:04:22.635 --> 01:04:24.512
that your daughter could have.

01:04:31.075 --> 01:04:31.975
Charles!

01:04:41.302 --> 01:04:45.354
Listen, striking for 100 years after...
More than it was a trap, Charles,

01:04:45.474 --> 01:04:48.895
just like you said. Mr. Wilson
was there. He tried to tell me

01:04:49.015 --> 01:04:51.675
that you were a Nazi, and
I was supposed to believe

01:04:51.795 --> 01:04:55.395
it. Imagine you being an escaped
Nazi. Oh, he thinks he's very clever,

01:04:55.515 --> 01:04:59.015
that Wilson. His idea was to horrify me
into telling him about the little man.

01:04:59.135 --> 01:05:02.395
Who did he say he thought I was? A Nazi.

01:05:02.515 --> 01:05:07.175
Franz Kindler. He made it
all up just to trick me.

01:05:07.295 --> 01:05:09.109
But I didn't tell him anything

01:05:09.223 --> 01:05:11.060
and I didn't tell father
anything. I outpaced

01:05:11.135 --> 01:05:15.187
both of them, Charles. He'll be civil
enough to prove you're not that

01:05:15.237 --> 01:05:18.694
we'll just find someone who
was in your class at college

01:05:18.814 --> 01:05:21.795
and he'll identify you, and that's
all there'll be to it. What you say

01:05:21.915 --> 01:05:24.334
is true, he can't touch me. I'm quite safe

01:05:24.454 --> 01:05:29.875
if you say nothing. Oh, I won't, Charles.
I promise I won't. They can torture him

01:05:29.995 --> 01:05:32.272
and I won't tell them anything!

01:05:34.955 --> 01:05:36.895
Look, the chimes have awakened.

01:05:37.075 --> 01:05:44.075
We must go down and greet them.

01:05:48.155 --> 01:05:52.915
We must act naturally. Smile at them,
you understand? Yes. Are you alright?

01:05:53.375 --> 01:05:54.439
Yes, I'm alright.

01:05:55.535 --> 01:05:57.099
We'll face them, darling.

01:05:59.675 --> 01:06:03.349
And when she struck, that angel
starred margin it was a sight

01:06:03.469 --> 01:06:06.836
to behold. Professor, you sure
knocked it off, my hat's off

01:06:06.956 --> 01:06:11.487
to you. Congratulations, Mr. Rankin. Won't
the rector be delighted? What I want

01:06:11.607 --> 01:06:14.355
to know is, she's going to chime
all night long, how's the body

01:06:14.475 --> 01:06:18.026
going to get any sleep? We'll
face them, darling, all of them.

01:06:18.146 --> 01:06:21.820
Them chickens yours is going to
be on and off roost every 15

01:06:21.940 --> 01:06:27.395
minutes Sarah I've told you I want
these curtains drawn. I don't

01:06:27.515 --> 01:06:31.275
like the sunlight streaming in, it's
bad for them. Mary, that's rubbish

01:06:31.336 --> 01:06:33.540
and you know it. Up at the
other house, we never close

01:06:33.615 --> 01:06:35.942
the bed has nothing to do
with it. This is my house

01:06:35.992 --> 01:06:38.058
and I want them drawn. Suit yourself

01:06:38.178 --> 01:06:44.835
then. It's going to look mighty gloomy
for the party. It's at that time already?

01:06:51.065 --> 01:06:53.275
Were you able to see when
they opened the grave,

01:06:53.395 --> 01:06:55.364
Mr. Randall? Was it too horrible?

01:06:55.484 --> 01:06:59.363
Well, not the most pleasant sight.
Oh, there's Mary. Hello, Mary.

01:07:00.405 --> 01:07:03.655
Filling out prescriptions. That's
part of this business I hate.

01:07:03.775 --> 01:07:08.155
Sleeping pills, that's another. Mrs.
Rankin, $1 .65. Okay. One wrap?

01:07:08.275 --> 01:07:10.479
No, thanks. Sleeping pills.
Don't approve of them. No.

01:07:10.555 --> 01:07:12.915
Man does a day's work,
man gets a night's sleep.

01:07:13.035 --> 01:07:15.935
Least ways he could until that clock
started bonging every few minutes.

01:07:16.055 --> 01:07:20.055
I believe Mrs. Rankin ordered some ice
cream, didn't she? Ice cream? Yeah.

01:07:20.175 --> 01:07:24.155
Already gone. The fellow said he was going
past your house, so I give it to him.

01:07:24.275 --> 01:07:25.175
Mr. Wilson.

01:07:31.775 --> 01:07:32.675
Mrs. Rankin.

01:07:32.795 --> 01:07:36.315
Wouldn't dream of setting foot outside
the house unless Fred were along.

01:07:36.435 --> 01:07:39.655
Who knows, he might be
anywhere. The murderer, I mean.

01:07:39.775 --> 01:07:41.339
Waiting for a new victim.

01:07:42.265 --> 01:07:46.595
I hope you haven't forgotten you were
kind enough to invite me, Mrs. Rankin.

01:07:46.715 --> 01:07:50.455
No, of course not, Mr. Wilson. Mr.
Potter asked me to deliver this.

01:07:50.575 --> 01:07:55.206
Oh, the ice cream's good. Sarah's
waiting for it. I hope it hasn't melted.

01:07:55.326 --> 01:07:58.875
Well, I won't detain you any
longer. I have a drink for you.

01:07:58.995 --> 01:08:02.575
Oh, just the medicine I need. You
know Dr. Hippard? Oh, yes, of course.

01:08:02.695 --> 01:08:06.055
How are you, Doctor? Just
fine. Excuse me. Yes, you may.

01:08:06.175 --> 01:08:11.075
Grandma Lawrence, can I get you something
else? Oh, nothing more. Thank you, dear.

01:08:11.195 --> 01:08:14.135
Where's Dr. Rankin? Oh, he'll
be here in just a few minutes.

01:08:14.255 --> 01:08:17.735
I won't have a word with him
about that clock. Oh, thank you.

01:08:17.810 --> 01:08:20.259
The autopsy showed the murder
was committed three weeks ago.

01:08:20.309 --> 01:08:22.095
Yes, on my last trip. May I get

01:08:22.215 --> 01:08:24.215
you some martini at that time? And Jack

01:08:24.315 --> 01:08:28.715
And what was that Frenchman's name?
Oh, hello, dear. Hello. L 'Angrule.

01:08:28.835 --> 01:08:32.754
Yes, there may well be ten or a dozen
graves out there in those woods.

01:08:32.804 --> 01:08:33.620
those woods. Hang on a sec. Autopsy

01:08:33.695 --> 01:08:36.348
The autopsy showed the murder was
committed just three weeks ago.

01:08:36.398 --> 01:08:39.154
May I get you some martini?
Oh, thank you, no.

01:08:39.715 --> 01:08:41.995
Jeff, may I get you another drink?

01:08:42.115 --> 01:08:43.792
Get you another drink?
I wish I could remember

01:08:43.793 --> 01:08:45.615
what Emerson says about
crime. Oh, there's Rankin.

01:08:45.735 --> 01:08:47.612
He may know. Sorry to be late.

01:08:49.445 --> 01:08:53.919
Oh, hello there, Rankin. How are you, Mr.
Wilson? You know the quotation? To heaven?

01:08:54.039 --> 01:08:55.975
Emerson? Quotation? Commit a crime

01:08:56.095 --> 01:08:58.895
and the earth is made
of glass? No, I don't.

01:09:00.875 --> 01:09:03.754
Commit a crime and the
earth is made of glass.

01:09:04.415 --> 01:09:05.355
Commit a crime.

01:09:07.375 --> 01:09:12.135
Commit a crime and it seems as if
a coat of snow fell on the ground,

01:09:12.255 --> 01:09:16.195
"such as reveals in the woods
the track of every partridge

01:09:16.315 --> 01:09:20.795
and fox "and squirrel and mole."
"You cannot recall the spoken word,"

01:09:21.070 --> 01:09:25.075
"you cannot wipe out the foot-track,"
"you cannot draw up the ladder,

01:09:25.195 --> 01:09:29.935
so as to leave no inlet or
clue you're Mr. Wilson aren't

01:09:30.055 --> 01:09:32.975
you? Do you know you're our number
one suspect in our murder case?

01:09:33.095 --> 01:09:37.875
So far you're the only suspect. Potter put
the finger on you. He thinks you committed

01:09:37.950 --> 01:09:41.134
the crime to get possession of some
priceless Do you want a drink, Mr. Wilson?

01:09:41.184 --> 01:09:43.315
Mr. Rankin, I wish you'd
left that clock alone.

01:09:43.435 --> 01:09:46.939
Harper was a nice, quiet place
until it started banging.

01:09:49.255 --> 01:09:53.886
Mary, what's Wilson doing here? I don't
know. You invited him, didn't you?

01:09:54.035 --> 01:09:55.912
What's he after? I don't know.

01:09:57.815 --> 01:09:58.941
Are you all right?

01:09:59.535 --> 01:10:00.849
Yes, quite all right.

01:10:02.155 --> 01:10:03.594
Good night. Good night.

01:10:08.715 --> 01:10:10.715
(music playing)

01:10:14.655 --> 01:10:15.555
No!

01:10:17.355 --> 01:10:19.275
No! No! No!

01:10:21.855 --> 01:10:23.455
Mary. Mary.

01:10:24.675 --> 01:10:27.195
It's all right, dear. It's all right.

01:10:34.635 --> 01:10:38.235
It broke. And the beads
fell all over the floor.

01:10:40.955 --> 01:10:42.695
He... he took her upstairs.

01:10:44.375 --> 01:10:47.373
When I left, I could still
hear her crying. Well,

01:10:47.493 --> 01:10:49.145
the floodgates have opened.

01:10:49.615 --> 01:10:51.555
Her subconscious is almost one.

01:10:53.555 --> 01:10:57.372
From now on, you must know every
move that Mrs. Rankin makes.

01:10:57.492 --> 01:11:01.055
She's never to leave the house
unless I know where she's going.

01:11:01.175 --> 01:11:05.375
If for any reason I can't be found, she's
to be detained, no matter on what pretext.

01:11:05.495 --> 01:11:08.995
You understand, Sarah. Don't
worry. She won't get by me.

01:11:09.115 --> 01:11:12.115
When she snapped those beads, she
signed her own death warrant.

01:11:12.235 --> 01:11:14.875
We're carrying her life in our hands.

01:11:16.175 --> 01:11:21.655
Every time she walks on a slippery
sidewalk, is near something that can fall,

01:11:22.535 --> 01:11:26.853
drives an automobile, anything that
could result in accidental death,

01:11:27.075 --> 01:11:28.615
her life is in danger.

01:11:29.015 --> 01:11:31.415
Yes, Judge. She won't get by me.

01:12:42.234 --> 01:12:45.175
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Good afternoon. Today

01:12:45.295 --> 01:12:49.801
Today we will attempt to finish with
the career of Friedrich the Großer,

01:12:49.955 --> 01:12:54.855
König von Preussen, Kurfuss von
Brandenburg, Prince von Pollen.

01:12:56.515 --> 01:12:58.267
Frederick the Great, to you.

01:13:01.755 --> 01:13:04.196
860. 860. And be there in five seconds.

01:13:17.935 --> 01:13:22.015
Hello? Oh, Mary. Mary, this is Charles.

01:13:25.055 --> 01:13:27.999
Can you hear me, dear? I
can't speak very loudly

01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:32.015
where I am, but I want you to understand
this. Something very important

01:13:32.135 --> 01:13:36.102
has come up. You must come to the
church immediately. The church

01:13:36.222 --> 01:13:40.595
tower. Understand? Yes, I understand.
I don't want anybody to know

01:13:40.715 --> 01:13:43.375
that you're going there. Mary, don't tell

01:13:43.495 --> 01:13:45.875
anybody you're going.
Go to the church tower

01:13:45.995 --> 01:13:50.475
and leave your car in the rear
coming through the back door. Okay?

01:14:05.065 --> 01:14:06.986
Yes, sir. Stack that
wood down over the rest

01:14:07.106 --> 01:14:08.913
of it and then get back to work.

01:14:09.033 --> 01:14:09.933
Yes, sir.

01:14:18.515 --> 01:14:20.079
What's that, Mr. Peabody?

01:14:21.875 --> 01:14:22.814
Gone someplace?

01:14:24.975 --> 01:14:25.875
Where to?

01:14:27.335 --> 01:14:31.175
I asked you where you was going,
Miss Mary. I heard. Well? Well?

01:14:31.565 --> 01:14:35.435
Sarah, you seem to forget I'm no
longer a child. I'm a married woman.

01:14:35.555 --> 01:14:37.896
Well, you ain't been married very long.

01:14:40.395 --> 01:14:41.521
Wait, Mrs. Rankin.

01:14:43.215 --> 01:14:47.846
What is it? I'm in a hurry. Well, you
don't need to go biting my head off.

01:14:51.875 --> 01:14:53.001
What is it, Sarah?

01:14:53.595 --> 01:14:54.495
Well, I...

01:14:55.455 --> 01:14:56.055
I don't...

01:14:56.105 --> 01:14:58.973
If you've got something to say,
say it. What is it, Sarah?

01:14:59.023 --> 01:15:01.842
I don't know what's got into
you lately. Indeed, I don't.

01:15:01.892 --> 01:15:05.304
You never was mean to me like this
back at the old house. Sarah, I...

01:15:05.354 --> 01:15:08.667
Maybe I'm out on my usefulness.
I'm not as young as I used to be.

01:15:08.717 --> 01:15:10.645
Maybe you don't want me around anymore.

01:15:10.695 --> 01:15:12.970
For heaven's sake, stop
talking such nonsense.

01:15:13.020 --> 01:15:16.828
Well, it's true, and you know it. I'm
going to pack my things and leave here.

01:15:16.878 --> 01:15:17.415
Indeed, I am.

01:15:19.705 --> 01:15:23.215
Sarah, I'm sorry if I've hurt
your feelings. I didn't mean to.

01:15:23.335 --> 01:15:24.399
Really, I didn't.

01:15:25.446 --> 01:15:30.480
Sarah. Sarah, now I couldn't get along
without you, and you know that, don't you?

01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:31.595
Well, don't you?

01:15:31.715 --> 01:15:34.415
Honest, Miss Mary. Yes,
honestly, honestly, Sarah.

01:15:34.535 --> 01:15:39.355
Oh, Miss Mary, oh, Miss Mary. Sarah,
Sarah, please, wait just a minute.

01:15:41.265 --> 01:15:42.875
Sarah, you'll never leave me,

01:15:42.995 --> 01:15:45.595
will you? You know how I
feel about you, don't you?

01:15:45.715 --> 01:15:49.515
Yes, I do, Sarah. Like it was my own
daughter, my own little girl. How could I?

01:15:49.635 --> 01:15:53.035
Sarah, I've got to go now, really, I
do. I've promised to be somewhere.

01:15:53.155 --> 01:15:54.875
Well, where to, Miss Mary?

01:16:01.215 --> 01:16:02.467
Stop fussing, Sarah.

01:16:03.995 --> 01:16:04.895
It's a secret.

01:16:07.155 --> 01:16:08.175
Oh, Miss Mary!

01:16:10.685 --> 01:16:14.883
What's the matter? Sarah, what's the
matter? My heart. What's the matter?

01:16:15.003 --> 01:16:16.675
I can't breathe. The pain.

01:16:17.575 --> 01:16:21.415
No, Miss Mary, please don't
leave me. No, don't leave me.

01:16:21.535 --> 01:16:24.935
Lie right there keep quiet.
Keep quiet Miss Mary.

01:16:25.055 --> 01:16:26.682
You're not dying, are you?

01:16:27.735 --> 01:16:31.495
Stay with me. I won't leave
you. 1 -3 -0, please.

01:16:36.755 --> 01:16:37.655
Yes, Mary?

01:16:37.775 --> 01:16:40.915
Look, I was supposed to meet Charles
at the clock tower right away,

01:16:41.035 --> 01:16:42.412
and I can't get there.

01:16:42.775 --> 01:16:45.716
Will you go and tell him
to please wait for me?

01:16:46.095 --> 01:16:50.815
And no one, no one's to know where
or why you're going. It's important.

01:16:51.935 --> 01:16:52.835
All right.

01:17:01.115 --> 01:17:02.015
238, please.

01:17:03.855 --> 01:17:05.920
Hello, may I speak to Mr. Wilson?

01:17:08.175 --> 01:17:10.365
Looks like it's coming up for snow.

01:17:11.115 --> 01:17:12.241
Yes, that's right.

01:17:28.175 --> 01:17:33.155
Oh Mrs. Rand, Mrs. Lundstrom. Isn't it
after hours? You ladies are working

01:17:33.275 --> 01:17:36.675
too hard at the library. Oh, no,
Mr. Rankin, we closed as usual

01:17:36.795 --> 01:17:39.468
at 3:30. You're perfectly right.

01:17:39.469 --> 01:17:43.395
I dismissed class 10
minutes early. Yes, that's

01:17:44.175 --> 01:17:50.475
3 44 I was playing checkers with mr
Potter and I didn't realize nice.

01:17:50.775 --> 01:17:55.093
You know what you are, Mr. Rankin.
You're the absent minor professor.

01:18:24.785 --> 01:18:26.785
(music playing)

01:18:33.287 --> 01:18:37.769
You sure are lucky today. I am? You
sure are. Good afternoon, Mr. Potter.

01:18:37.889 --> 01:18:41.315
Good afternoon, Mr. Hill. I'm sorry,
Mr. Potter. I can't find them. What?

01:18:41.435 --> 01:18:44.475
The earmuffs. Right over there by
the mittens. Come on, Mr. Potter.

01:18:44.595 --> 01:18:47.835
Help us look. Well, I'll... Be
right back in a minute, Professor.

01:18:47.910 --> 01:18:50.196
Right over there by that box
where I told you there was.

01:18:50.246 --> 01:18:55.835
Goes yeah let's sing out. How much do
you want 85 cents. That's an awful

01:18:55.955 --> 01:19:02.955
lot only come high this year you want
this thing I'll keep it you know mr.

01:19:04.195 --> 01:19:06.955
Polly, you're a bad
influence. I, uh. I intended

01:19:07.005 --> 01:19:08.760
only spend a couple of
minutes. You made me

01:19:08.818 --> 01:19:11.004
spend the whole afternoon.
Look what time it is. Yeah.

01:19:11.054 --> 01:19:14.355
I'd like to get even it's your mold.

01:19:18.367 --> 01:19:20.495
You really had the wind up. Golly.

01:19:20.615 --> 01:19:23.681
You can still smell the
glue where you joined it.

01:19:24.775 --> 01:19:26.152
Look there, Professor.

01:19:26.535 --> 01:19:28.976
I could told you it's coming up for snow.

01:19:48.615 --> 01:19:50.305
Look here, Professor.

01:19:57.575 --> 01:19:58.701
Never did nothing?

01:20:12.595 --> 01:20:14.285
Good afternoon, Mr. Potter.

01:20:35.815 --> 01:20:37.215
Charles?

01:20:49.745 --> 01:20:53.535
He didn't go to the church. No, no,
Sarah had... Sarah? What about Sarah?

01:20:53.629 --> 01:20:56.160
Well, just as I was leaving,
Sarah had some kind of an attack.

01:20:56.235 --> 01:20:57.435
She's resting now, yes.

01:20:57.555 --> 01:21:02.499
And Jeff said it wasn't very serious, but
that I should stay with her. Mm -hmm.

01:21:14.215 --> 01:21:15.905
What's the matter, Charles?

01:21:16.855 --> 01:21:18.169
Nothing's the matter.

01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:21.135
Then why did you want
me to go to the church?

01:21:21.255 --> 01:21:22.882
You said it was important.

01:21:23.595 --> 01:21:25.848
It was important, I think, actually.

01:21:26.135 --> 01:21:30.195
It's my sense of proportion
is failing me these days.

01:21:31.795 --> 01:21:33.547
Please, Charles, what is it?

01:21:38.855 --> 01:21:39.755
I'm sorry.

01:21:42.135 --> 01:21:44.200
I've just begun to feel the strain.

01:21:44.355 --> 01:21:46.670
You see, I have my weak moments, too.

01:21:49.375 --> 01:21:51.503
I'll tell you in my own good time.

01:21:52.045 --> 01:21:56.575
They found out anything more? No, nothing.
There's nothing to find out, unless you.

01:21:56.695 --> 01:21:58.654
I've seen anybody all day.
I've been in my room.

01:21:58.755 --> 01:22:02.935
There's a rumor going around that there's
an arrest to be made. My head aches.

01:22:03.055 --> 01:22:06.675
The incident of the beads yesterday
made me doubt your strength.

01:22:06.795 --> 01:22:11.739
I thought maybe you'd gone to your father
and told him something. If you had...

01:22:13.995 --> 01:22:15.810
You didn't have to be afraid.

01:22:16.635 --> 01:22:17.535
No.

01:22:19.695 --> 01:22:21.072
Why did you tell Noah?

01:22:22.035 --> 01:22:23.036
Why, what about?

01:22:23.876 --> 01:22:26.716
Didn't you see him? No,
I should have seen Noah.

01:22:26.766 --> 01:22:28.072
Well, did you come here directly

01:22:28.122 --> 01:22:29.935
from the church? Am I
being cross -examined?

01:22:29.985 --> 01:22:31.980
Well, no, but when I found
I couldn't leave Sarah,

01:22:32.055 --> 01:22:34.300
I called Noah and told him to go
there and tell you I was detained.

01:22:34.375 --> 01:22:37.763
I told you not to call anybody. But surely
Noah... Call him and tell him not to go.

01:22:37.813 --> 01:22:40.695
Well, I can't. I talked to him
over... Call him, I say! He's gone!

01:22:40.770 --> 01:22:43.423
If he dies, his blood will be on
your hands. What are you saying?

01:22:43.473 --> 01:22:45.275
It's your meddling that's done this.

01:22:45.395 --> 01:22:47.935
It would have been all
right if it wasn't for you.

01:22:48.055 --> 01:22:51.855
But I bet you, you had
to be here. On that day.

01:22:52.695 --> 01:22:54.072
Dang it, you stupid...

01:22:55.675 --> 01:23:00.368
Did you kill Noah? Yes, if he goes to
the church and climbs up that ladder!

01:23:04.915 --> 01:23:09.555
It was I you intended to kill,
wasn't it? No. Why wasn't it I?

01:23:11.415 --> 01:23:12.315
Dran Kindler!

01:23:14.935 --> 01:23:15.835
Kill me.

01:23:16.695 --> 01:23:18.103
Kill me, I want you to.

01:23:18.223 --> 01:23:22.996
I couldn't face life knowing what I've
been to you and what I've done to Noah.

01:23:23.116 --> 01:23:26.115
But when you kill me, don't
put your hands on me.

01:23:26.895 --> 01:23:27.795
Here.

01:23:28.835 --> 01:23:29.735
Use this.

01:23:38.915 --> 01:23:39.815
Mary. Mary.

01:23:43.675 --> 01:23:44.575
No.

01:23:47.555 --> 01:23:48.455
Operator.

01:23:49.155 --> 01:23:51.283
Operator, get me the state police.

01:23:57.715 --> 01:23:59.675
Yes, the roadblocks are up.

01:24:01.195 --> 01:24:05.513
We're watching the railroad station
and he isn't hiding in the woods.

01:24:20.285 --> 01:24:22.285
(music playing)

01:24:52.295 --> 01:24:54.775
Get lost, Smith! Get lost, Smith!

01:25:01.735 --> 01:25:04.551
You get Wilson, Noah.
I'll go for the police.

01:25:19.805 --> 01:25:23.355
Mr. Wilson. Well, if he is what I
think he is, it's got to be easy.

01:25:23.475 --> 01:25:27.918
We'll do everything possible to bring
him back. She's gone, Mr. Wilson.

01:25:28.175 --> 01:25:29.614
She's not in the house.

01:25:29.975 --> 01:25:30.875
Clocktower?

01:25:32.275 --> 01:25:33.175
I don't know.

01:25:33.995 --> 01:25:37.875
Well, if that's where he's hiding,
if she gets there before us,

01:25:39.315 --> 01:25:40.215
What do we do?

01:25:41.115 --> 01:25:45.934
Call Captain Samuels and the deputies.
Get all the help you can. Where? Ouch.

01:25:49.575 --> 01:25:53.017
The church, the church. What
about you? I'll get there.

01:25:57.975 --> 01:25:59.975
(music playing)

01:26:21.115 --> 01:26:22.015
Don't move.

01:26:22.955 --> 01:26:23.855
I have a gun.

01:26:25.375 --> 01:26:26.501
You don't need it.

01:26:27.575 --> 01:26:28.475
I'm alone.

01:26:29.155 --> 01:26:30.657
What are you doing here?

01:26:30.955 --> 01:26:31.855
Lift me up.

01:26:40.095 --> 01:26:41.659
You're telling the truth?

01:26:42.275 --> 01:26:43.375
Why should I lie?

01:26:46.955 --> 01:26:52.035
You were followed here? I came by our
way, through the cemetery. No one saw me.

01:27:07.475 --> 01:27:11.105
I needed the excuse. I was
afraid you wouldn't let me up.

01:27:14.395 --> 01:27:16.735
What do you want? I came to kill you.

01:27:23.175 --> 01:27:25.866
No, no, Mary. It's you
that's going to die.

01:27:26.695 --> 01:27:29.386
You were meant to fall
through that ladder.

01:27:31.475 --> 01:27:32.789
You're going to fall.

01:27:35.635 --> 01:27:37.825
I don't mind if I take you with me.

01:27:39.675 --> 01:27:40.955
You are a fool.

01:27:44.195 --> 01:27:48.986
They searched the woods. I watched them.
Here, like God, looking into the lands.

01:27:49.036 --> 01:27:51.240
I'll hide in the woods. They
won't search there again.

01:27:51.315 --> 01:27:52.520
A day or two, they'll be
sure I got out of town.

01:27:52.595 --> 01:27:55.215
When they find me, they'll know
you're still here. But, darling.

01:27:55.335 --> 01:27:58.777
You're on the verge of a
breakdown. Now you've cracked.

01:27:58.897 --> 01:28:00.995
Why else would you leave your bed?

01:28:01.115 --> 01:28:03.955
Climb to an empty church
tower in the dead of night.

01:28:04.075 --> 01:28:09.144
Any child could see you'd wind up killing
yourself. Killing is what led you here.

01:28:10.595 --> 01:28:11.972
It won't help you now.

01:28:14.955 --> 01:28:17.095
Look out the window. Look!

01:28:18.595 --> 01:28:22.663
Well, that's an old trick, Mr.
Wilson. A very poor trick. Tricks?

01:28:22.915 --> 01:28:24.792
That's all you know is tricks.

01:28:25.395 --> 01:28:26.897
I don't need any tricks.

01:28:27.063 --> 01:28:30.755
No matter what happens to me,
tricks won't do you any good.

01:28:30.875 --> 01:28:33.128
You're finished, Herr Franz Kindler.

01:28:45.615 --> 01:28:48.915
The citizens of Harper, they've come

01:28:49.035 --> 01:28:51.115
after you. The plain,
little, ordinary people,

01:28:51.190 --> 01:28:52.986
the ones you've been
laughing at, have Franz

01:28:53.036 --> 01:28:56.255
Kindler! Well, you can't
fool them anymore. Oh, sure,

01:28:56.375 --> 01:28:58.975
you can kill me, Mary, half
the people down there,

01:28:59.095 --> 01:29:02.515
but there's no escape. You have the world

01:29:02.590 --> 01:29:04.672
and it closed in on you
till there was only Harper.

01:29:04.722 --> 01:29:07.095
That closed in on you and
there was only this room!

01:29:07.215 --> 01:29:10.015
and this room too Who
is closing in on you?

01:29:11.185 --> 01:29:12.885
It's not true, the things they say

01:29:13.005 --> 01:29:15.870
I did. It's all their
idea. I followed orders.

01:29:15.990 --> 01:29:17.235
You gave the orders.

01:29:18.575 --> 01:29:19.895
I only did my duty.

01:29:22.345 --> 01:29:26.535
Don't send me back to them. I can't
face them. I'm not a criminal.

01:29:26.655 --> 01:29:27.555
You are.

01:29:52.155 --> 01:29:53.055
Give me that!

01:30:50.605 --> 01:30:54.335
All right, Mr. Wilson, Mary's safe.
Why don't we give you a hand?

01:30:54.455 --> 01:30:58.397
No, no, no, no, no thanks. Hi,
what happened? V -Day in Harper.

01:30:58.895 --> 01:31:03.615
I don't get that. Come on down. Oh,
now didn't you get me a new ladder?

01:31:04.515 --> 01:31:07.268
I've had my ankle busted
and my head conked.

01:31:07.555 --> 01:31:10.559
From here on in, my friends,
I'm taking it easy.
