00:03:30I can promise you, he will cause us no trouble.
00:04:00You disappoint me, Mr. Clegg.
00:04:15I have always considered you a man with the nerves of steel.
00:04:19Unlike anybody sneaking up behind me like that.
00:04:21My dear man, I did not sneak up behind you.
00:04:23I merely opened the door and there you were.
00:04:25You could have knocked.
00:04:27Next time I will, perhaps.
00:04:29You will never see me again, Captain.
00:04:32And I will never see you again.
00:04:34I can not say that will upset me.
00:04:37You just pay me the rest of my money, I'll be on my way.
00:04:41Did you check the entire ship?
00:04:43Yes, I checked.
00:04:44I could not find a single thing wrong.
00:04:47I bet if Captain Gano walked on deck, he would swear it was his ship.
00:04:51But Captain Gano will never walk the deck again.
00:04:55Will he, Mr. Clegg?
00:04:58There is nothing to be afraid of now, Mr. Clegg.
00:05:01Your job is done.
00:05:03It was a terrible job, too.
00:05:05Yes, that's why you were so well paid.
00:05:07I have not been paid yet.
00:05:08Tell me, Mr. Clegg.
00:05:10Now that you are a comparatively rich man, where do you intend ...
00:05:14Our plans are not your concern.
00:05:16Just give me my money and I'll be ...
00:05:18I do not have the money.
00:05:19What is that?
00:05:20Do not get excited, Mr. Clegg.
00:05:22You will get your money, of course.
00:05:24I want it now.
00:05:26Mr. Clegg.
00:05:27No matter where you go, eventually ...
00:05:29You will have to start from San Brejo, will not you?
00:05:32Yes.
00:05:33Well, that's it.
00:05:34There is a Mr. Crow staying at the Los Rios Hotel.
00:05:38He will be waiting for you.
00:05:41He will pay you.
00:05:45If I do not get my money from this Mr. Crow ...
00:05:48Your ship will be picked up before it leaves Brejo Gulf.
00:05:52Ah, but you will be paid.
00:05:55What does Mr. Crow look like?
00:05:58I do not have the slightest idea.
00:06:00I've never met Mr. Crow.
00:06:02If you've never met him, what makes you think you'll pay me?
00:06:04Please, Mr. Clegg.
00:06:06You have nothing to worry about.
00:06:09I've had business deals with Mr. Crow, even though we've never met.
00:06:13He will take very good care of you.
00:06:17Now you'd better hurry.
00:06:56Sam.
00:06:57Sam Wilton.
00:06:59What the hell are you doing here in San Brejo?
00:07:01I came to see you, Manuel.
00:07:03Why are you shaking your left hand?
00:07:09Is the bullet still there?
00:07:10Oh, no, no.
00:07:11I stopped by Sereguro, the doctor, he took it out.
00:07:13It's a little stiff, but it's okay.
00:07:15Look, Manuel, will you give me a drink?
00:07:17Who wants to shoot you, Sam?
00:07:19Moyendo.
00:07:20Moyendo.
00:07:21But why does he want to shoot you?
00:07:23You have run his plantation for nearly five years.
00:07:26Moyendo always speaks very well of you.
00:07:29Why, he felt like an uncle to you.
00:07:31Yeah, but his wife didn't feel like my aunt.
00:07:34Oh, I see.
00:07:36Moyendo is a very jealous man.
00:07:38Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:07:39Well, there are a lot of plantations that need a good farmer like you.
00:07:43You have nothing to worry about, Sam.
00:07:46Look, Manuel, I have got quite a bit to worry about.
00:07:50Is Moyendo here in San Brejo?
00:07:52No, no, he's still up at the plantation.
00:07:55But I am in trouble and I need help, Manuel.
00:07:58Sure, Sam.
00:07:59What can I do?
00:08:00I've got to get back to the States.
00:08:03Oh, that is simple.
00:08:04When do you want to go?
00:08:05Well, on the first boat that leaves here.
00:08:07The Banos leaves tonight.
00:08:08Good, good.
00:08:09I want you to put me right on board.
00:08:12Well, I don't need this much, Sam.
00:08:14You gave me your passport and I...
00:08:15Well, I don't have a passport.
00:08:16That's why I gave you this extra money.
00:08:18You can get me one, can't you?
00:08:19But where is your passport?
00:08:21Well, it's still back there at the plantation.
00:08:23I don't feel like going back to get it.
00:08:25Yes, Moyendo has very big temper.
00:08:28All right, Sam.
00:08:29I go to the office to make a call.
00:08:31I'll be right back.
00:08:44Hey, Manuel.
00:08:46Who's the girl?
00:08:47Miss Yeager.
00:08:48Staying here?
00:08:49Yeah, she's been here about a week.
00:08:52She's a very beautiful woman, Manuel.
00:08:54Yes, Moyendo's wife is also a very beautiful woman.
00:08:59Sam, you appreciate too many women.
00:09:02You'd be much better off to appreciate just one woman.
00:09:06Maybe then you would not always be in trouble.
00:09:09Look, Manuel, when you get me the passport,
00:09:11don't make me go back to the States.
00:09:13Look, Manuel, when you get me the passport,
00:09:15don't get it under my own name.
00:09:17Use the name of Smith or Jones or anything but Wilton.
00:09:20Sam, that is something you're not telling me.
00:09:23I'll tell you all about it when you come back.
00:09:25But remember, if you don't get me the passport,
00:09:27I'm in trouble.
00:09:28Understand?
00:09:29Uh-huh.
00:09:35Oh, good morning.
00:09:37Good morning, Manuel.
00:09:38Mr. Dilts would like to talk to you.
00:09:40Of course.
00:09:41Is there something wrong, Mr. Dilts?
00:09:43Yes, Manuel, there is.
00:09:45Did you sell this, whatever you call it, to my wife?
00:09:48Yes, it is beautiful, isn't it?
00:09:50Oh, I think so.
00:09:52My husband doesn't, though.
00:09:54Manuel, I have enjoyed my stay at your hotel,
00:09:57and I will gladly pay the bill,
00:09:59which I might say is very high for what your hotel has to offer.
00:10:02But I refuse to pay $25 for this ridiculous piece of crockery,
00:10:06so if you will please take it back, I will...
00:10:08Fred, please, I want it.
00:10:11I've never seen anything quite like this before.
00:10:14It'll make a wonderful souvenir of our trip to South America.
00:10:18Oh, please, Fred.
00:10:20I'm sorry, Kate.
00:10:21I will not pay $25 for this ridiculous-looking turtle.
00:10:24Why, it isn't worth...
00:10:25Mr. Dilts, would you be willing to pay $15 for it?
00:10:29No, Manuel, I wouldn't.
00:10:31Oh, Fred, please.
00:10:35Oh, very well, Kate.
00:10:37Well, now that that's settled, we'd like to pay our bill.
00:10:40We're leaving on a bunion tonight.
00:10:41Certainly, Mr. Crofton. Come with me.
00:11:07Is there a Mr. Crowell staying here?
00:11:11I don't know.
00:11:15Why do you want to see him?
00:11:20I take it you know Mr. Crowell.
00:11:22Where is he?
00:11:25Are you a friend of his?
00:11:27No way.
00:11:29I did a favor for him once.
00:11:33Mr. Crowell hasn't arrived yet.
00:11:35When he does, tell him Mr. Clegg wants to see him.
00:11:49Are you feeling all right?
00:12:00I am Manuel, proprietor of the Los Rios Hotel.
00:12:03How do you do?
00:12:04We would like two rooms.
00:12:05Of course. How long do you intend to stay?
00:12:07We have passage booked on the bunions.
00:12:09Do you know when the bunions is leaving?
00:12:11It is leaving tonight.
00:12:20Ilse.
00:12:23Ilse.
00:12:30It has been a long time.
00:12:33I still can't believe you're here. I was so worried.
00:12:39I'm really here.
00:12:42Thanks to Mr. Crowell.
00:12:44Miss Yeager, we are leaving tonight for the United States.
00:12:48And I think it would be wise for your father to get some rest.
00:12:51He has traveled a long way and he is very tired.
00:12:55We have so many things to talk about, father.
00:12:58I hardly know where to start.
00:13:03Mr. Crowell.
00:13:04Do you know that man?
00:13:08I've never seen him before.
00:13:10He said he wanted to talk to you.
00:13:12His name is Clegg.
00:13:14Oh, yes.
00:13:15I'm very anxious to have a talk with Mr. Clegg.
00:13:19Mr. Yeager, you have some rest.
00:13:21I will join you later.
00:13:33Do you want to see me, Mr. Clegg?
00:13:35That's right.
00:13:36Captain Scarface told me...
00:13:38I'm afraid I don't know anyone by that name.
00:13:41You do know Captain Tregnor.
00:13:43Yes, I know him.
00:13:45That's what I'm talking about.
00:13:47He told me you would give me $5,000.
00:13:50I will, Mr. Clegg.
00:13:53Just hand it over and I'll be on my way.
00:13:57I have the money in my suitcase.
00:14:00I have the money in my suitcase.
00:14:03Are you staying in Los Rios, Mr. Clegg?
00:14:06Until I get my money, I am.
00:14:09I will bring the money to your room tonight.
00:14:18You certainly took your time getting back here.
00:14:25What are you looking at me like that for?
00:14:28I don't have time to play games.
00:14:30I have to get my passport.
00:14:32Did you get it?
00:14:34Why not?
00:14:35You know why.
00:14:37You told me Moyendo shot you.
00:14:39But you didn't tell me that you shot Moyendo.
00:14:42You didn't ask me who I shot.
00:14:44You only asked me who shot me.
00:14:46You must be crazy.
00:14:48Moyendo is one of the richest men in South America.
00:14:51If they catch you, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail.
00:14:54If I hadn't shot him, he would have killed me.
00:14:56He'll be fine in a few weeks.
00:14:58I only shot him in the leg.
00:14:59You can't stay here, Sam.
00:15:01Moyendo has notified every governor of every province...
00:15:04That's what I thought.
00:15:06That's why I asked you to get the passport and...
00:15:08You can't stay here, Sam.
00:15:10Everyone knows we're friends.
00:15:12The police will come looking for you.
00:15:14If they find you here, Manuel will be in trouble.
00:15:17Okay, Manuel. I'll leave in the morning.
00:15:20I'm sorry, Sam. I wish I could help you.
00:15:23Get it, Manuel. I'll leave in the morning.
00:15:27Is your father not going to have any dinner?
00:15:30He said he wasn't hungry.
00:15:32Is he all right?
00:15:34I think so.
00:15:37He's changed so very much.
00:15:39He looks so old.
00:15:41He has been through a great deal since you last saw him.
00:15:44Yes, I know.
00:15:46I don't quite know how to thank you for all you've done.
00:15:49I don't want any thanks or gratitude.
00:15:51I consider myself very fortunate.
00:15:54I consider myself very fortunate...
00:15:56to have been in a position to help your father.
00:15:59I didn't think I'd ever see him again.
00:16:03It's been eight years, Mr. Kroll.
00:16:06Sometimes I gave up hope that he was still alive.
00:16:09Miss Yager, please.
00:16:11You shouldn't dwell on the past.
00:16:13Your only concern should be with the future.
00:16:16I know. A brandy will do it.
00:16:18End the past and brighten the future.
00:16:20Excuse me. I will be right back.
00:16:23Yes, sir?
00:16:25I haven't spent as much time in this part of the country as I have in the States.
00:16:28If I could have gotten some of the steak back in the 30s...
00:16:31I'd have been a multimillionaire by now.
00:16:33I don't know anything about mining or South America.
00:16:36This is our first trip.
00:16:38There are still fortunes to be made down here.
00:16:40The Andes is just flooded with gold.
00:16:42All you have to do is find it.
00:16:44I'm going to do that before I die, I promise you.
00:16:46I'm sure you will.
00:16:48Say, Fred, here's one of my cards.
00:16:51If you find anybody back home that has a little money they want to invest...
00:16:54drop me a line.
00:16:56I don't know why I like this turtle so much.
00:16:59He looks so uncomfortable on his back.
00:17:02$15.
00:17:07I'm Sam Wilton.
00:17:09I saw you when you came in this morning.
00:17:11It was quite a reunion.
00:17:13Miss Yager seemed mighty pleased to see the old gentleman.
00:17:16Are you staying?
00:17:18I came in here to order two drinks, not to make your acquaintance.
00:17:22Don't bribe a friend.
00:17:24I was only trying to make conversation.
00:17:26If you don't feel like small talk, I won't make with any.
00:17:28Thank you. How much do I owe you?
00:17:30Nothing. It's on the house.
00:17:48You're a very impatient man, Mr. Cake.
00:17:50I will be up in your room in a few minutes.
00:17:52I don't like to be kept waiting, Mr. Crowell.
00:17:58Miss Yager, I think it would be wiser not to board the banyans together.
00:18:02Why? Surely you don't anticipate trouble now that we've come this far.
00:18:06No, no, no. Not at all.
00:18:08But we can't be too careful.
00:18:10Please don't keep anything from me. I know there's something wrong.
00:18:13Why do you have to speak to Mr. Clake?
00:18:15Believe me, there is nothing to be alarmed about.
00:18:18I will admit that Mr. Clake is not one to inspire you with confidence.
00:18:23But Miss Yager, in order to help your father to escape,
00:18:26I was forced to deal with many men even more unsavory than Mr. Clake.
00:18:30Without their help, we wouldn't have gotten as far as we are now.
00:18:35I don't understand. Surely father's safe now.
00:18:39You underestimate your father's importance.
00:18:42He won't be safe until he sets foot on American soil.
00:18:46And that day is not too far off.
00:18:50Ladies and gentlemen, the car is here to take you to the banyans.
00:18:54I hope you have all enjoyed your stay at De Los Rios.
00:18:58And I hope you will all return to South America again.
00:19:01And when you do, remember, you are always welcome at De Los Rios.
00:19:06Thank you very much.
00:19:08Oh, yes, I'm a...
00:19:10Oh, yes, I'm a...
00:19:12Oh, yes, I'm a...
00:19:14Oh, yes, I'm a...
00:19:17Oh, yes, I'm a...
00:19:27Monsieur, talk as little as possible with the other passengers.
00:19:31You will find that Americans are very talkative.
00:19:34When you board the banyans, stay in your cabins until I arrive.
00:19:38Please.
00:19:47Driver, I would like you to come back here at 10 o'clock.
00:19:53Mr. Crow, I thought you were going, too.
00:19:56I put your luggage in the back of the...
00:19:58It's all right, Manuel. I wanted my luggage to go on ahead.
00:20:02It's all right, Manuel. I wanted my luggage to go on ahead.
00:20:17Come in.
00:20:24Did you see, Mr. Crow? I was expecting you.
00:20:29If you will please put that gun away, we can get on with our little transaction.
00:20:34This won't interfere with our transaction.
00:20:37All you have to do is count out $5,000,
00:20:40leave it on that table, turn around and leave.
00:20:44It's a very simple transaction.
00:20:46No, Mr. Clank, it's not as simple as that.
00:20:49What's complicated about it?
00:20:51You.
00:20:58Men like you cause the most trouble in the world.
00:21:03I despise men like you.
00:21:05I'm not interested in your feelings. All I want is my money.
00:21:10I know.
00:21:14Have you ever done anything in your life except for money?
00:21:17No, and I'm not going to start now.
00:21:23Tell me, Clank.
00:21:25You must have worked with Captain Ganunti's crew for many years.
00:21:30Many of them must have been your friends.
00:21:32I have no need for friends. I know.
00:21:35But how did it feel to kill Captain Ganunti's crew just to get some...
00:21:39I didn't kill them.
00:21:41Oh, let's not quibble about degrees of guilt.
00:21:44If it were not for you, those men would still be alive.
00:21:48You didn't come here to give me a lecture.
00:21:51I'm waiting for my money.
00:21:54Are you positive there are no survivors?
00:21:58Only the one you're looking at.
00:22:00Good.
00:22:02Mr. Click, you are not going to get any more money.
00:22:07In fact, you are not going to leave this room alive.
00:22:11You're not in a very good position to make threats like that.
00:22:14I won't move out of your crawl, and I'll keep pulling this trigger...
00:22:17till you're so heavy you won't be able to stand up.
00:22:24What are you waiting for?
00:22:27Just wondering how much you got paid for your part in this.
00:22:36I was paid nothing.
00:22:38No? How about Captain Scarface?
00:22:41How much did he get?
00:22:43Nothing.
00:22:45This may come as a surprise to you, Click...
00:22:49but many men do things merely because they believe in what they are doing.
00:22:53I imagine he'll get paid plenty if the barnyard reaches the Panama Canal.
00:23:00You know more of our plans than I realized.
00:23:04Maybe you'll change your mind about paying me.
00:23:07The money is in my inside coat pocket.
00:23:11Will you try to get it, or will you permit me to?
00:23:19Move very slowly, Crow.
00:23:22Take the money out of your pocket and throw it on the bed.
00:23:53Stay where you are, Manuel.
00:23:56Get over by the wall, Manuel.
00:24:03Turn around, Manuel.
00:24:22Come on.
00:24:46He killed Mr. Crow.
00:24:48He picked up quite a bundle, too. Too bad he won't be able to spend it.
00:24:51You'd better take care of that money, Sam. Come with me.
00:25:00Did you know Clegg very well?
00:25:02No, but he has worked out of this park for many years.
00:25:05He must have been in some kind of business with Crow.
00:25:07I saw him talking in the arcade this afternoon.
00:25:09Crow was apparently a very close friend of Mr. Yeager and his daughter.
00:25:13Well, I'd better go downstairs and call the police.
00:25:16Wait a minute.
00:25:17What did you find?
00:25:19I found just his passport here.
00:25:21Look, when the police come, are you going to turn that money over to them?
00:25:24Of course I am.
00:25:25Why? Nobody knows about it except me.
00:25:29Do me a favor.
00:25:30What?
00:25:31Well, you ought to be able to fix it so that my picture is sitting here instead of Crow's.
00:25:35Well?
00:25:38I'd better take care of that tomorrow.
00:25:40No, no. I've got to have it tonight. I'm going back to the States on the Banyos.
00:25:42What? Are you crazy?
00:25:44You said Mr. Yeager and his daughter were very good friends of Mr. Crow.
00:25:48You know that you are not...
00:25:49I'd rather be in a jam with Miss Yeager than I would with Mayenda.
00:25:59We will cast off as soon as he comes aboard.
00:26:02Why didn't he come down with the old man and the girl?
00:26:05I do not know.
00:26:19Mr. Crow?
00:26:21That's right.
00:26:23May I see your passport, please?
00:26:48I am Captain Tregnor.
00:26:50This is Mr. Pero, my first date.
00:26:52How do you do?
00:26:54Come with me, Mr. Crow. I will show you to your cabin.
00:26:58Mr. Clegg got in touch with you, I suppose?
00:27:01Yes, he did.
00:27:03Did he give you much trouble?
00:27:05Yes, quite a bit.
00:27:06That is too bad.
00:27:08Where is Mr. Clegg now?
00:27:14I imagine he's in the morgue at Sanbreo.
00:27:17That is a very safe place for Mr. Clegg to be.
00:27:21This is Mr. Yeager's cabin.
00:27:23This is the girl's.
00:27:24And this is yours.
00:27:26As soon as we get on the way, come to my cabin.
00:27:29We have many things to discuss.
00:27:32Captain Tregnor, I haven't had any sleep since I arrived in Sanbreo.
00:27:35I wonder if you'd mind if I...
00:27:37Oh, certainly, certainly. Sleep as late as you like.
00:27:39We will have plenty of time to talk tomorrow.
00:27:41Sleep well, Mr. Crow.
00:27:43Oh.
00:27:44Has Yeager become at all suspicious?
00:27:47No, no.
00:27:49Not at all.
00:27:51Good.
00:28:02Over there is one of the prettiest little towns you ever laid your eyes on.
00:28:05Yippee-yappa.
00:28:09I beg your pardon.
00:28:11Yippee-yappa.
00:28:12That's the name of the town.
00:28:13Oh.
00:28:15Mr. Crofton,
00:28:16have you noticed that this is an entirely different crew
00:28:18than was aboard the Banos when we came down to South America?
00:28:21There's nothing unusual about that.
00:28:22Most of these freighter crews are made up of drifters.
00:28:25What about Captain Gano?
00:28:27He didn't impress me as being a drifter.
00:28:30In fact, he told my wife and I to enjoy our vacation
00:28:32and he'd see us on our return trip.
00:28:35Brad, will you come here a minute, dear, please?
00:28:38You too, Mr. Crofton.
00:28:42Good morning, Mr. Dillis, Mr. Crofton.
00:28:44Good morning, Captain.
00:28:48What is it, dear?
00:28:50Something very strange, Fred.
00:28:52Um, this is the same cabin we had before, isn't it?
00:28:56Yes, of course. You know it is. Why?
00:28:58Have you noticed anything different about it?
00:29:02No.
00:29:03Well, when we came down to South America,
00:29:06the porthole in this cabin was on that side of the door.
00:29:09Look, right about here.
00:29:11Oh, that's ridiculous, Kate.
00:29:13They don't go around changing the portholes.
00:29:15No, no, no, dear. I tell you, I am positive.
00:29:18Now, listen, Fred, if you just try to remember,
00:29:20when we'd go to bed, it was usually very warm
00:29:23and we always left the porthole open.
00:29:25Then, during the night, it always turned cold
00:29:28and I had to get up and close it.
00:29:32By golly, Kate, you're right.
00:29:34The wind used to whistle through that porthole right across my back.
00:29:37Yes.
00:29:38And I always had to get up and close it.
00:29:42Are you both sure about this?
00:29:44There's just no doubt about it.
00:29:47That's where it was, right there.
00:29:50I don't understand this, Mr. Crofton.
00:29:54Neither do I.
00:29:59Father?
00:30:02Father, are you...
00:30:04Oh, Captain, could you tell me which cabin is Mr. Crowell's?
00:30:07Mr. Crowell is staying in the cabin next to yours, Miss Yeager.
00:30:31Please don't be frightened, Miss Yeager, but I must talk to you.
00:30:33I was told this is Mr. Crowell's cabin.
00:30:35Please let me go.
00:30:36I can't, I can't. I've got to talk to you.
00:30:38Now, please trust me, Miss Yeager.
00:30:40What do you want to talk to me about?
00:30:42I don't exactly know.
00:30:44Mr. Crowell is dead.
00:30:46He was killed in the Los Rios Hotel by a man by the name of Clegg.
00:30:49I don't know why he was killed,
00:30:51but I do know that you and your father are in trouble.
00:30:54When I boarded the ship, Captain Tregener asked me
00:30:56if your father was at all suspicious.
00:31:10I, uh, don't like doing this, Miss Yeager,
00:31:13but you've got to listen to me.
00:31:17Did you talk to Mr. Crowell yet?
00:31:18No, he is very busy right now.
00:31:21What do you mean?
00:31:22Oh, do not let it worry you.
00:31:23Bring Mr. Yeager to my cabin.
00:31:25Yes, but don't you think you'd better talk to Mr. Crowell
00:31:27before you talk to Miss Yeager?
00:31:28Mr. Pero.
00:31:29I said bring Mr. Yeager to my cabin.
00:31:41Mr. Yeager, wake up.
00:31:43What do you want?
00:31:47What are you doing in my cabin?
00:31:49Get dressed.
00:31:50Captain Tregener wants to see you.
00:31:52What for?
00:31:54I don't know, but Captain doesn't like to be kept waiting.
00:32:01Come on.
00:32:02I'm going.
00:32:03I'm going.
00:32:04I'm going.
00:32:05I'm going.
00:32:06I'm going.
00:32:07I'm going.
00:32:08I'm going.
00:32:10I'm going.
00:32:19Thank you, Mr. Pero.
00:32:24You want to see me?
00:32:26Captain Tregener?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28Do you know who this is?
00:32:31Yes, it is quite obvious.
00:32:33This is a map of the Panama Canal.
00:32:35Yes, it is.
00:32:36the most valuable little strip of water in the entire world.
00:32:40Do you have any idea how many more miles the Banyos would have to travel
00:32:44from Guy Kill to New York if it were not for this little strip of water?
00:32:48No, I haven't.
00:32:507,405 miles.
00:32:54And it saves ships going from Alaska and the west coast of the United States
00:32:59to the east coast 7,873 miles.
00:33:05Quite a way of the great value of the Panama Canal.
00:33:08So is the United States.
00:33:11That is the reason why this man-made ditch
00:33:14is the most carefully guarded place on the face of the earth.
00:33:18I dare say what you say is true, but why are you telling me this?
00:33:22I would like to have your opinion.
00:33:25Do you think it is possible to destroy the usefulness of the Panama Canal?
00:33:31I really wouldn't know.
00:33:34Captain, surely you haven't gotten me out of bed to discuss the Panama Canal.
00:33:40Yes, I have, Doctor.
00:33:46Why are you calling me, Doctor?
00:33:51If you will please come with me, Dr. Yeager,
00:33:55I will show you something I am sure you will find very interesting.
00:34:05Please, Miss Yeager, you must believe me.
00:34:08I didn't kill Kroll. I needed a passport in a hurry.
00:34:11Kroll didn't have any further use for his...
00:34:13I won't listen to any more of your lies.
00:34:15If you don't let me leave this cabin immediately, I'll call for the captain.
00:34:18Miss Yeager, that would be a very big mistake.
00:34:21Here, take this.
00:34:26Now will you believe me?
00:34:28Do you know any reason why Clegg would kill Kroll?
00:34:33Yes, I do, but...
00:34:37I don't know what to do.
00:34:40If only I could talk to my father...
00:34:42All right, go get him. I'll stay here.
00:34:49Oh, would you mind leaving that with me?
00:35:30Here we have coffee and cocoa.
00:35:33American adults and cocoa for their children.
00:35:36The Americans do not allow their children to drink coffee, Dr. Yeager.
00:35:40You are making a great mistake, Captain. I am no doctor.
00:35:43Of course you are not.
00:35:45You would not know any more about setting a broken leg than I would.
00:35:48Why do you...
00:35:50Please, I know who you are, Dr. Yeager.
00:35:56Why did you bring me down?
00:35:58To show you something you understand a great deal about.
00:36:03Let's go.
00:36:05Let's go.
00:36:07Let's go.
00:36:31Now, this is a little more on your line, isn't it, Dr. Yeager?
00:36:35Now do you know why we went to so much trouble to get you here, Doctor?
00:36:42You intend to destroy the Panama Canal.
00:36:46Not me, Doctor. You.
00:36:55No.
00:37:06Come, Doctor, I can't wait any longer.
00:37:08I assure you, you will gain nothing by refusing.
00:37:11I must have your answer.
00:37:13I have given my answer.
00:37:15You are a very foolish man, Dr. Yeager.
00:37:18You are sacrificing your daughter's life for no purpose.
00:37:21Perhaps if we spoke to your daughter...
00:37:24Her answer would be the same.
00:37:27My daughter grew up in Germany.
00:37:30She is very young.
00:37:32My daughter grew up in Germany.
00:37:34She is very familiar with death.
00:37:37She was only a child when Hitler came to power.
00:37:40But when the Communists came...
00:37:42I am not interested in listening to your daughter's biography.
00:37:46I am merely trying to tell you that my daughter is not so highly attached to her life...
00:37:51that she would not willingly sacrifice it to save...
00:37:54I have tried to explain, Doctor, by sacrificing your daughter's life, you saved nothing.
00:37:59Even if you refuse to cooperate, we will still carry out that plan successfully.
00:38:03I doubt that very much, Captain.
00:38:06The atom bomb in the hold of this ship...
00:38:09cannot be detonated by striking a match.
00:38:12This is a very delicate, complex mechanism.
00:38:16I know that, Doctor.
00:38:18That is why you are here, to serve as the match.
00:38:22Possibly you do not know that only a handful of scientists...
00:38:26have worked on the project that developed that bomb.
00:38:29Only one of these...
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:33Did Dr. Malov work on this project with you?
00:38:36Yes. Yes, he did.
00:38:38As I said before, we are prepared for any eventuality.
00:38:42If you refuse, Dr. Malov will take your place.
00:38:45But Dr. Malov is in Russia.
00:38:48No, he also has taken a very long trip recently.
00:38:52If you refuse, we will contact him...
00:38:55and he will be on board the Banos in a matter of hours.
00:38:59So you see, Doctor, the canal will be destroyed...
00:39:03regardless of your decision.
00:39:07But your daughter is so young...
00:39:10and so very beautiful.
00:39:13It would be a pity to sacrifice her life for no purpose.
00:39:20I must have your answer.
00:39:24Can I speak to my daughter alone?
00:39:27Just a few minutes.
00:39:29Very well, Doctor. Go to your daughter.
00:39:54Ilse.
00:40:05Father, where have you been? I was so worried about you.
00:40:08Talking to the captain.
00:40:10Come, Ilse, sit down. I have to talk to you.
00:40:13Father, Mr. Kroll has been killed.
00:40:18What?
00:40:19There's a man in the next cabin using his passport.
00:40:21His name is Sam Wilton.
00:40:22He said that we were in great danger and he must talk to you.
00:40:25I must talk to Mr. Wilton.
00:40:27I'll go with you.
00:40:28No, Ilse. I must talk to Mr. Wilton alone.
00:40:31Now you, you go to your cabin and I'll meet you there later.
00:40:35Why can't I go too?
00:40:36Please, Ilse. I have no time to waste.
00:40:46Mr. Wilton?
00:40:47Yeah, Sam Wilton. Come in.
00:40:49Now, look, Mr. Yeager, I'm in a bind.
00:40:52Any minute there's going to be a knock on that door
00:40:54and Captain Tregner and I are going to have a chat
00:40:56and I'm not going to know what to say because he thinks I'm Kroll.
00:40:59Your daughter seems to think that Kroll was a very good friend of yours.
00:41:02I have found out Kroll was not a friend of ours.
00:41:05Who was Kroll?
00:41:06Obviously, a communist agent.
00:41:09This Captain Tregner, he's a communist too.
00:41:12Where do you fit into all this, Mr. Wilton?
00:41:15There is no place for me.
00:41:17Mr. Wilton, there is an atomic bomb in the hold of this ship.
00:41:22That is why I am here.
00:41:24The purpose of this voyage is to destroy the Panama Canal.
00:41:28I thought I had news for you.
00:41:30Now, look, Mr. Yeager,
00:41:32you've got to tell me all about yourself and Kroll and I'll give it to me fast.
00:41:35But I, I don't know where to begin.
00:41:37Well, where did you meet Kroll?
00:41:38I met him in Sverdlovsk three months ago.
00:41:41Sverdlovsk? That's in Russia, isn't it?
00:41:44Yes, that's in the Ural Mountains.
00:41:46I escaped from there,
00:41:47or at least I thought I had escaped from there,
00:41:50two weeks ago with the help of Kroll.
00:41:52Was your daughter in Russia with you?
00:41:54No, no, I met Ilse in Sanbrejo.
00:41:57It was the first time in eight years that I've seen her.
00:42:00Were you in a Russian prison camp?
00:42:02I was a prisoner, but I wasn't actually in a camp.
00:42:06There is a large atomic plant in Sverdlovsk,
00:42:10and I was considered one of the directors of the plant.
00:42:15I'm a very sick man, Mr. Wilton,
00:42:18and when this Kroll came to me,
00:42:21and he said he could help me to escape,
00:42:24and that I could see my daughter once more.
00:42:29You know, Mr. Wilton, scientists can be very stupid sometimes.
00:42:33As, as I look back now,
00:42:35that whole escape was all so simple.
00:42:40I should have realized,
00:42:44I should have realized.
00:42:53Where is your father, Miss Yeager?
00:42:55I don't know.
00:42:58It is apparent, it is apparent
00:43:01that you have lied to me from the beginning, Mr. Kroll.
00:43:06Captain Tragner is coming.
00:43:08Mr. Wilton, my daughter's life is in your hands.
00:43:14I thought you were a good man, Mr. Kroll.
00:43:18I thought you were a good man, Mr. Kroll.
00:43:21I thought you were a good man, Mr. Kroll.
00:43:25I thought you wanted to speak to your daughter, Dr. Yeager.
00:43:28I have already spoken to my daughter, Captain,
00:43:31but I also had a few things to say to Mr. Kroll.
00:43:35Then perhaps you have reached your decision.
00:43:38Yes, Captain, as you say.
00:43:40I have nothing to gain by refusing.
00:43:54Father!
00:43:55Mr. Kroll, you had better take Miss Yeager into her cabin.
00:43:58Where are you going?
00:43:59You have nothing to worry about, Miss Yeager.
00:44:01Captain Tragner and your father have something they want to talk over.
00:44:04You go with Mr. Kroll.
00:44:06He'll explain everything to you.
00:44:25The Panama Canal
00:44:30Have you ever been through the Panama Canal, Mr. Kroll?
00:44:33No, no, I haven't.
00:44:34It's too bad you're leaving us in Balboa.
00:44:37The canal is worth seeing.
00:44:39You know, Mr. Kroll,
00:44:41men and countries have been talking about destroying the Panama Canal
00:44:45ever since it was first built,
00:44:47but nobody has ever been able to figure out a way to do it.
00:44:51Now it will be done.
00:44:54Captain, are you sure your crew can be trusted?
00:44:57Positive.
00:44:58Every man under my command is aboard the ship because he wants to be here.
00:45:02You do not distrust men who volunteer for a certain death, Mr. Kroll.
00:45:07How many Americans believe enough in their country
00:45:09to volunteer for a suicidal mission such as this?
00:45:13Very few, Mr. Kroll.
00:45:15Very few.
00:45:17Americans set much too high a value on human life,
00:45:21especially their own.
00:45:24Mr. Kroll,
00:45:26would you be willing to sacrifice your life for the cause you believe in?
00:45:31Yes, I would.
00:45:34The Banias will arrive at Balboa by 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
00:45:37and there, Mr. Kroll, is where the Banias will have to pass the big test,
00:45:40because at Balboa they search the ship from stem to stern.
00:45:44But I doubt very much if they will find anything.
00:45:48As far as Balboa, it's just a matter of hours.
00:45:52Through the locks at Miraflores,
00:45:54through the locks at Pedro Miguel,
00:45:57then Gatun Lake,
00:45:59and then the key to the entire canal,
00:46:02Gatun Locks, Gatun Dam,
00:46:05and the most powerful hydroelectric station in the world.
00:46:13Come in.
00:46:19Is that from the Tara, Captain?
00:46:21Yes, there has been a slight change in the plans.
00:46:24What do you mean?
00:46:25We will meet the Tara off Cabo Corrientes,
00:46:27as we had planned if Dr. Yeager had refused.
00:46:30But instead of Dr. Maloff coming aboard the Banos with us,
00:46:32you, Mr. Kroll, and Miss Yeager will go aboard the Tara.
00:46:36What time do we meet the Tara, Captain?
00:46:3811 o'clock tomorrow night.
00:46:41Something troubling you, Mr. Kroll?
00:46:43Oh, no, no, not really.
00:46:45I just don't like changing plans.
00:46:47Well, sometimes a change in plans is necessary.
00:46:51And, of course, you and Miss Yeager will be safely aboard the Tara,
00:46:55whereas we on the Banos, we...
00:46:57Well...
00:46:59May the last trip of Captain Tregnor on the Banos
00:47:02be their most successful.
00:47:18Please, Miss Yeager, stay in your cabin.
00:47:20I can't. You have to tell me where my father is.
00:47:25Please go to bed, Miss Yeager.
00:47:27I assure you that everything will be all right.
00:47:30You've got to stay in your cabin. I'll see you in the morning.
00:47:39Oh, that won't be necessary, pal.
00:47:42Captain's order, Mr. Kroll.
00:47:44He doesn't want Miss Yeager to talk with the rest of the passengers.
00:47:47Oh, yes, yes, I guess the captain's right.
00:47:50Good night.
00:47:51Good night, Mr. Kroll.
00:48:09Mr. Kroll, even though we're fellow passengers,
00:48:12I'd like it very much better if you knocked before you came into my cabin.
00:48:15Sorry.
00:48:17Do either of you men know how to run a ship's radio?
00:48:19Yeah, I can handle one. Why?
00:48:21Unless we make contact with another ship,
00:48:23none of us will be alive when we reach Balboa.
00:48:43Fred, do you think they'd mind if I picked a few bananas?
00:48:47Yes, I think they would, Kate.
00:48:49Uh, why?
00:48:51Fred, are you going to answer me?
00:48:54What did you say, Kate?
00:48:56Nothing, dear. Nothing at all.
00:48:59What in the world is the matter with you this morning?
00:49:02Why, your acting is...
00:49:03Here comes Mr. Crofton.
00:49:05Well, what's so earth-shaking about that?
00:49:07Good morning. Good morning.
00:49:08Oh, morning.
00:49:09Say, do you think they'd mind if I picked a few bananas?
00:49:12I don't think so, Mrs. Dills.
00:49:14I don't either.
00:49:17Could you do something about cheering my husband up?
00:49:20My goodness, he's been in the dumps all morning.
00:49:23I'll try, Mrs. Dills.
00:49:27Haven't you told your wife anything?
00:49:29I didn't think there was any point in having her worried, too.
00:49:32I don't suppose you had any luck sending out a message.
00:49:40I went to the radio room a half a dozen times last night.
00:49:43They keep it locked.
00:49:45Where's Wilton?
00:49:46I think he's in the captain's cabin.
00:49:47Have you seen the girl?
00:49:48No.
00:49:49One of the crew took some food to her cabin a little while ago.
00:49:52What are we going to do, Mr. Crofton?
00:49:55I don't know, Fred.
00:50:00Oh, Fred.
00:50:02Oh, you almost made me drop this.
00:50:05Well, it wouldn't be much loss if I had.
00:50:07We'll be in our cabin, Kate.
00:50:18Would you mind if I picked a few of the bananas?
00:50:22I'll only take the very ripe ones.
00:50:38Why don't you take off your coat?
00:50:40Admittedly, this cabin is hotter than the boiler room.
00:50:52Mr. Crowl, this is a new suit.
00:50:55You bought it in Sanbreo.
00:50:57That's right.
00:50:58What about it?
00:50:59Nothing.
00:51:01But I would think you would have had too much on your mind while in Sanbreo to...
00:51:04...bother buying a new suit.
00:51:06You were only in Sanbreo one day, Mr. Crowl.
00:51:09I needed a new suit.
00:51:10Why?
00:51:11Mr. Pero worries about everything, Mr. Crowl.
00:51:14So I see.
00:51:16I bought the suit because I sent my luggage down ahead with the Jaegers.
00:51:19Left me only one suit, the one I was wearing.
00:51:22After seeing Clegg, the suit wasn't very presentable.
00:51:25Had a round hole right here in the sleeve.
00:51:28I figured it might make the customs men rather curious.
00:51:31Does that ease your mind, Mr. Pero?
00:52:02Mr. Crofton, if we...
00:52:03Look, Fred.
00:52:04How many times do I have to tell you to call me Everett?
00:52:08You know, I bet you'd never call anybody by the first name unless they were a blood relative.
00:52:12I'm not quite that bad, Everett.
00:52:15I was thinking if we...
00:52:18That was Kate.
00:52:32Kate! Kate!
00:52:35Mr. Crofton, what has happened to her?
00:52:38She's all right, Fred. She probably fainted from the heat.
00:52:42Mr. Diltz, your wife's been bitten by a snake.
00:52:46Probably a fertilizer.
00:52:50Crofton, give me a hand. Let's get her to the cabin.
00:52:52Mr. Crowl.
00:52:55Let Mr. Diltz and Mr. Crofton take her to the cabin.
00:52:59Let Mr. Diltz and Mr. Crofton take her to her cabin.
00:53:03I think it would be wiser if you remain here and find the fertilizer.
00:53:11You two men there, you could also help to look.
00:53:29It is a fair deliance, Mr. Crowl?
00:53:31Yes.
00:53:33Where do you go now?
00:53:35To see if there's anything I can do for Mrs. Diltz.
00:53:37What happens to Mrs. Diltz does not concern us.
00:53:41Besides, we have not yet finished eating.
00:53:49Mr. Crofton.
00:53:52Mr. Crofton.
00:53:54Mr. Crofton.
00:53:56Mr. Crofton.
00:54:12Mr. Perrow, please roll up Mr. Crowl's sleeve.
00:54:15I'd like to see how badly he was hurt by Mr. Clay.
00:54:17I'll roll up my own sleeve.
00:54:21Remove the bondage, please.
00:54:28You heal very quickly, Mr. Kroll.
00:54:30Look, Captain, no more games. Let's have it. What's on your mind?
00:54:33A considerable number of things.
00:54:35It is very odd that you knew Mrs. Diltz was bitten by a fair bilance just from the marks on her face.
00:54:40Even before you ever saw the snake.
00:54:43And I noticed that you handled and carried a machete just like a native.
00:54:47Other things bothered me, too.
00:54:50Mr. Farrow, have you noticed that Mr. Kroll is very brown?
00:54:57Perhaps he has spent more time in South America than he has in Russia.
00:55:02Who are you, Mr. Kroll?
00:55:05If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.
00:55:08Tell me anyway.
00:55:10Who are you, and why did you come aboard the Ibanez?
00:55:21My name is Sam Wilton.
00:55:23A good American name.
00:55:25What happened to Mr. Kroll?
00:55:32Mr. Farrow has just asked you a question.
00:55:36Clegg killed him.
00:55:38Is Clegg still alive?
00:55:44Why don't you pull the string on that thing and get this over with?
00:55:47I intend to, Mr. Wilton.
00:55:49But not until I've asked you a few more questions.
00:55:52I can ask all the questions you want, but you won't get any answers.
00:55:56Captain.
00:55:57Mrs. Diltz is dying. We've got to get a doctor.
00:55:59Oh, that would be a waste of time, Mr. Crofton. Mrs. Diltz will be dead within an hour.
00:56:03Mr. Kroll tells me that if Ferdinand...
00:56:05I don't care what Mr. Kroll tells you.
00:56:07I insist that you radio Buenaventura and have a doctor flown out.
00:56:10He can be here...
00:56:11Yes.
00:56:12But I am the captain of the Ibanez, Mr. Crofton.
00:56:15And I'm not sending for a doctor.
00:56:18Now, please, go back to your cabin.
00:56:29Mr. Wilton.
00:56:31Mr. Wilton, are you prepared to give your answers now?
00:56:55There's no use doing that any longer, Fred.
00:56:58She's dead, isn't she?
00:57:02Where are you going, Fred?
00:57:04If the captain had sent for a doctor, Kate would still be alive.
00:57:07I know, Fred, but you've got to stay here.
00:57:09No, I'm going to see the captain.
00:57:11Look, Fred, I know how you feel.
00:57:12Let me go!
00:57:13Let me go!
00:57:14Fred!
00:57:20And now, Mr. Wilton, what happened to Mr. Clegg?
00:57:26My wife is dead.
00:57:28I'm very sorry to hear that, Mr. Dills, but there's nothing I can do about it.
00:57:31My wife is dead!
00:57:33You killed her! You did it!
00:57:35You wouldn't send for a doctor!
00:57:42Take every man and search his ship from stand to stern!
00:57:44Bring that man back here!
00:57:46All hands!
00:57:48All hands!
00:57:51All hands on deck! All hands!
00:57:58All hands on deck!
00:58:29All hands on deck!
00:58:47Well, if they haven't found him by now, I bet he's not still aboard ship.
00:58:54You know what they're still looking for?
00:58:56I think I'll go down and see if I can get into that radio room.
00:58:59Fred, if you'll...
00:59:04Fred.
00:59:27Fred.
00:59:40Go back to your cabin, Mr. Crofton.
00:59:42Have you found him yet?
00:59:44No, but we will.
00:59:46Please go back to your cabin, Mr. Crofton.
00:59:57But how are we going to take care of Crofton and Dills?
01:00:00We will take care of them after we have found Wilton.
01:00:27Down here.
01:00:29Tell Crofton to go to my cabin.
01:00:31There's a gun underneath my bunk. If he can make it, he may get a message on it.
01:00:34They're coming this way. They'll find you, Mr. Wilton.
01:00:37Get down.
01:00:39My wife is dead, Mr. Wilton.
01:00:45Goodbye, Mr. Wilton.
01:00:47I wish you all the best.
01:00:49Goodbye.
01:00:56I wish you and Mr. Crofton luck.
01:01:21Mr. Wilton wasted much of our time.
01:01:24Please, no more, Captain.
01:01:26We better radio the Tara, not to wait for Mr. Croft.
01:01:29Not yet. We still may have need for Dr. Maloff.
01:01:31Why, Captain?
01:01:33You are not very bright, Mr. Barrow.
01:01:35I will have to have a talk with Dr. Yeager before we radio the Tara.
01:01:46Would you like to have some more food sent down, Dr. Yeager?
01:01:51Is my daughter all right?
01:01:53Well, naturally, she is worried about you.
01:01:55But, of course, only you can save her life.
01:02:02Could I...
01:02:04Could I speak to Mr. Croft?
01:02:07You mean Mr. Wilton?
01:02:12Yes, we have found out all about your friend, Mr. Wilton.
01:02:16He is dead, Doctor.
01:02:18He is dead, Doctor.
01:02:20He tried to escape.
01:02:22And so, if you will still agree to serve as the match,
01:02:25Mr. Barrow, my first mate, will leave the Banyo San Balboa with your daughter.
01:02:29And he will release her the moment he receives word that the bombing has taken place.
01:02:34If you refuse, you and your daughter will be killed and Dr. Maloff will take your place.
01:02:43Well, Dr. Yeager...
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:51A very wise decision, Dr. Yeager.
01:02:55You will not see me again until we reach Gatun Locks.
01:02:58Then I will join you and we will...
01:03:03You and I will be blown to eternity together.
01:03:18Now, Mr. Barrow, we can radio the Tara.
01:03:21You men, start moving the cargo.
01:03:28Are you sure Yeager will still go through with it?
01:03:31Positive.
01:03:33When are you going to take care of the passengers and the girl?
01:03:35In the morning. In the morning. We have done enough for one day.
01:03:38Mr. Barrow, I am going to turn in.
01:03:40You will stay here until the cargo is moved, then take over after me.
01:03:44We have done enough for one day. Mr. Barrow, I am going to turn in.
01:03:47You will stay here until the cargo is moved, then take over after me.
01:04:14Be very quiet, Captain.
01:04:16Remember, you said I handled the machete like a native.
01:04:19Where's your gun and the whisper?
01:04:23Under the pillow.
01:04:26It's a very handy place for a gun.
01:04:30Take me to Dr. Yeager.
01:04:34That would be very difficult to do.
01:04:37Take me to him anyway.
01:04:39Get up.
01:05:10If you want to see Dr. Yeager, you have a lot of work to do.
01:05:13If you want to see Dr. Yeager, you have a lot of work to do.
01:05:16There are no riddles, Captain. Where is he?
01:05:18Behind the cargo. There is a section built into the side of the ship.
01:05:22Okay. You know exactly where it is.
01:05:24Start moving the cargo, Captain.
01:05:26You are being very foolish, Mr. Wilton.
01:05:28We'll be in Balboa before I could possibly remove all this.
01:05:31Get started.
01:05:39What happened to the original Banias?
01:05:41It was torpedoed and sunk...
01:05:44...a week before you came aboard at San Brejo.
01:05:48How come no one knew about the sinking?
01:05:51That was Mr. Clank's contribution.
01:05:53He was the radio operator aboard the original Banias.
01:05:57So no message was sent...
01:05:59...and there were no survivors to tell about it except Mr. Clank.
01:06:04You made this ship look enough like the Banias...
01:06:06...to get it through the Panama Canal without suspicion.
01:06:09That is right.
01:06:11Quite a plan, Captain. Quite a plan.
01:06:36Come on.
01:07:06Come on.
01:07:25Afton.
01:07:30I thought you wouldn't end it.
01:07:32I'm all right. Are you sure you know how to operate a ship's radio?
01:07:35Wait for us down that way. I want to take Miss Yeager with us.
01:07:49In a couple of hours, we'll be out of the woods. Come on.
01:08:06Ow!
01:08:10Take over. Lock the door.
01:08:13Here, hold this.
01:08:35Come on.
01:08:57Well, it won't be long now.
01:08:59Who did you contact?
01:09:01I hit the jackpot.
01:09:06Come on.
01:09:15It'll be all right if we want ashore now, Commander.
01:09:17Certainly, Weldon. There's nothing more for you to do.
