00:03:07A letter has come for you, doctor.
00:03:10They said it was urgent.
00:03:13It's probably from my daughter.
00:03:16You ought to see her.
00:03:19She's in the Royal Ballet, Peter.
00:03:37Quick, my hat and coat.
00:04:08Tadja!
00:04:11Tadja!
00:04:19Tadja.
00:04:22Tadja!
00:04:25Tadja.
00:04:37Anya, little Anya, don't you know me?
00:04:57Father.
00:05:00Yes.
00:05:03Do you know that I'm going to die?
00:05:10No, no.
00:05:27Anya, tell me the name of the man.
00:05:32No.
00:05:34But I must know his name.
00:05:36No, no.
00:05:37Tell me, tell me.
00:05:38No, please, let her go.
00:06:01The Petrov necklace.
00:06:14Give it to me.
00:06:16So, it was one of the Petrovs.
00:06:20Is it Prince Gregor?
00:06:23No.
00:06:24Nicholas?
00:06:25No.
00:06:26Is it Ivan?
00:06:28No, no.
00:06:29I swear that it wasn't.
00:06:30Listen.
00:06:35Father.
00:06:36Father.
00:06:37Tasha, stop it.
00:06:38Don't.
00:06:39I swear.
00:06:40Calm down.
00:06:41Wait.
00:06:42Listen to me.
00:06:43Father.
00:06:44Please, listen.
00:06:45It was only one of the Petrovs.
00:06:46I couldn't.
00:06:47Please.
00:06:48Are you listening?
00:06:58You have never heard of the Petrov drum?
00:07:16How amazing.
00:07:17Prince Ivan.
00:07:18Mr. Kent has never heard of the drums of jeopardy.
00:07:22No.
00:07:23That's something the New York papers must have missed.
00:07:27What are they?
00:07:28A family heirloom.
00:07:29A necklace of rubies.
00:07:31My great-grandfather brought it from India.
00:07:33You're one generation off, my boy.
00:07:36He was my great-grandfather.
00:07:38And they do say that he stole the drums from the neck of the emperor's wife.
00:07:43And I can't quite think how he managed it.
00:07:47Why do you call them the drums?
00:07:49Because the necklace is made up of the figures of four Indian drummers.
00:07:53The heads of the drums are rubies.
00:07:55We'll show them to you.
00:07:56Gregor.
00:07:57Yes, grandfather.
00:07:58Go down to the safe and bring me the drums.
00:08:01I want to show them to Mr. Kent.
00:08:03Well, it's been so long since I've opened the safe, I'm afraid I've forgotten the combination.
00:08:09Well, please don't trouble.
00:08:10Oh, it's no trouble.
00:08:11Nicholas.
00:08:12Nicholas.
00:08:13Nicholas.
00:08:14Oh, Nicholas.
00:08:15The general is calling you.
00:08:16What?
00:08:17Nicholas, you young rascal.
00:08:18Come here.
00:08:19Yes, grandfather.
00:08:21Oh, she said to me, come back again sometime, prince.
00:08:23But next time, come around to the back door.
00:08:27Stop it.
00:08:28Stop it.
00:08:29Stop your nonsense.
00:08:30Now, you go down to the safe and bring me the drums.
00:08:32I want to show them to Mr. Kent.
00:08:36Coming right up, chief.
00:08:40Where'd he learn that American slang?
00:08:43The young man's mother was an American.
00:08:46Where'd he learn that American slang?
00:08:48The young man's mother was an American.
00:08:50And he picked up his Yankee impudence at Yale.
00:08:53Oh, I see.
00:09:01Well, here they are, grandfather.
00:09:04But the safe wasn't locked.
00:09:05Not locked?
00:09:06Not.
00:09:07You know, there is a superstition about the necklace.
00:09:09They claim that if one of the drummers is detached and sent to a man,
00:09:12that he will die within 24 hours.
00:09:14Oh.
00:09:16Why?
00:09:17It's gone.
00:09:20Gregor.
00:09:22Oh, Gregor.
00:09:26Why, I don't know where it is.
00:09:30Gregor.
00:09:33Gregor.
00:09:37Gregor.
00:09:38Gregor.
00:09:42Gregor.
00:09:43Father found the necklace.
00:09:57Anya.
00:10:04Anya.
00:10:08Anya.
00:10:10Anya.
00:10:14Anya.
00:10:16Anya.
00:10:39Anya.
00:10:49Which one of you is responsible for this?
00:10:55You do not answer.
00:10:57A man of the people has no right to ask who caused the death of his daughter.
00:11:03You won't tell?
00:11:05Then I'll kill you all.
00:11:07Get that gun away from me.
00:11:18Wait.
00:11:20Where are the Petrov drums?
00:11:23I have them.
00:11:25Someday I shall return them to the Petrovs.
00:11:30One by one.
00:12:08How did you get this?
00:12:11One of our men is in service at the hotel where the Petrovs are staying.
00:12:15Oh yes, of course.
00:12:17Listen to this.
00:12:19Karlov was sent to Siberia for his attempt on the lives of our family.
00:12:24But he escaped and has become a leader among the Bolsheviks.
00:12:29His power in Europe is enormous.
00:12:31And we are coming to America in hopes of evading him.
00:12:35We sail the 22nd on the Letonia.
00:12:39The Letonia.
00:12:51Why all the champagne?
00:12:54We've got to celebrate our safe arrival.
00:12:57Why all the champagne?
00:12:59We've got to celebrate our safe arrival.
00:13:01But we're not in yet, my boy.
00:13:03We'll dock just as soon as the fog lifts.
00:13:06Here's your glass, uncle.
00:13:10Come on, Stephen.
00:13:12You're in on this.
00:13:17Thank you, Highness.
00:13:20Here's to our new life in America.
00:13:22America.
00:13:26America.
00:13:36Stuart.
00:13:39How did it get here?
00:13:41It came on a pilot boat, sir.
00:13:57It's one of the drums.
00:14:00We'll never get away from him.
00:14:02He'll kill us all.
00:14:12Stephen.
00:14:14Go fetch the captain.
00:14:16Tell him we must see him here at once.
00:14:18Yes, Highness.
00:14:27What do you intend to do?
00:14:29I intend to have the captain put us ashore before the boat docks.
00:14:57We'll send this radio to Kent to meet us ashore.
00:15:01There's the captain.
00:15:03This gentleman wishes to see you, sir.
00:15:05Russian Department of the United States Secret Service, sir.
00:15:08I come from Marksville, Kent.
00:15:10Oh, come in.
00:15:12Come right in.
00:15:15I've got a message for you, sir.
00:15:17What is it?
00:15:19I've got a message for you, sir.
00:15:21I've got a message for you, sir.
00:15:23I've got a message for you, sir.
00:15:24Go on.
00:15:35Karlob is in America.
00:15:38He'll be watching for you to land tomorrow.
00:15:41Mr. Kent sent me to bring you ashore in a special tender.
00:15:45You must leave at once.
00:15:47But our servant's gone for the captain.
00:15:49We have arranged all that for the captain.
00:15:52Your servant is to stay on board.
00:15:54and bring your luggage through the cut. Are you on I have
00:15:59a revolver good. Come with me.
00:16:24Be very quiet.

00:17:22Yeah.
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25Oh, oh, oh, Kent, this is darn right of you.
00:17:41Carlos.
00:17:42I was afraid your friend, Mr. Kent, might fail you, so I took his place.
00:17:47Oh, you.
00:17:49Gently, gently.
00:17:51Your weapon is gone.
00:17:52Too bad.
00:17:54Someone must have stolen it.
00:17:57I was very sorry to hear of your grandfather's death.
00:18:01Wait.
00:18:02Sit down.
00:18:05Don't excite yourself, Prince.
00:18:07He died quite painlessly.
00:18:11What are you going to do with us?
00:18:16Wait and see.
00:18:24All right, take him around the way.
00:18:47All right.
00:18:48Come on.
00:18:54Hey, honest fellow.
00:19:04Quick, after him.
00:19:23Quick, after him.
00:19:54Come on.
00:19:57Come on.
00:20:23There he goes.
00:20:53Put up your hand.
00:21:16Please.
00:21:17Put them up.
00:21:18Listen.
00:21:19Stay where you are.
00:21:20But, miss, I'm Prince Nicholas Petrel.
00:21:25No.
00:21:26And I thought you were the Prince of Wales.
00:21:28Please believe me.
00:21:30I'm trying to save my uncle.
00:21:32A party at Bolshevik's is happening.
00:21:36All I want to do is use the telephone.
00:21:38You can keep me covered.
00:21:48I can't see.
00:21:49I've been hurt.
00:22:01I'll get it.
00:22:02Whom do you want?
00:22:05Martin Kent.
00:22:07Park Avenue.
00:22:10You say a party of Russians left the line, huh?
00:22:12Yes, sir, on a private cruiser.
00:22:14In their stateroom on a pad of radio blanks,
00:22:16we found the impression of a message addressed to you.
00:22:22Martin Kent speaking.
00:22:24Hello, Mr. Kent?
00:22:25Just a minute.
00:22:27Here.
00:22:28Here he is.
00:22:29Huh?
00:22:30What?
00:22:35Hello?
00:22:37This is Nicholas Petrel.
00:22:39Send help, quick.
00:22:41Karloff has my uncle.
00:22:45Where are you?
00:22:47What is this address?

00:22:53A studio on the roof.

00:23:02I...
00:23:07Here.
00:23:08Hello?
00:23:12It's dead.
00:23:13I don't know, but I mean to find out.
00:23:15Come on.
00:23:19Here.
00:23:20Please.
00:23:34Gregor!
00:23:36Kent!
00:23:37I came to get you.
00:23:38Karloff and his men...
00:23:39I know.
00:23:40Tell us in the machine.
00:23:41Where are you going?
00:23:42I'm going to Karloff's hands.
00:23:48Where are you?
00:23:53Auntie!
00:23:54Aunt Arby!
00:23:56Aunt Arby!
00:23:59Aunt Arby!
00:24:00Merciful goodness, what's going on?
00:24:01The telephone's broken.
00:24:02You'll have to go for a doctor.
00:24:04In the name of...
00:24:05Where'd you get him?
00:24:07Please don't stop to ask questions.
00:24:08He may die.
00:24:09Dead or alive, Kitty Carnival,
00:24:10you wouldn't have a man in your room
00:24:11at this hour of the night.
00:24:12Please, Auntie, go quickly.
00:24:13And what you're doing with him
00:24:14is more than I can make out.
00:24:15Hurry!
00:24:18Arby, hurry!
00:24:19Please, hurry!
00:24:20There isn't a mic,
00:24:21nor are you trying to hurry me.
00:24:22I won't go out
00:24:23without my teeth and my corset.
00:24:25And what's more,
00:24:26I'm going to tell you
00:24:27the management of the apartment house.
00:24:28Go!
00:24:29Stop pushing me!
00:24:30I can't go out in the street like this.
00:24:32But it's a matter of life and death, Auntie.
00:24:34Please, hurry.
00:24:36All I've got to say is,
00:24:38when I get back,
00:24:39you've got a lot of explaining to do.
00:24:46Did you get in touch with him?
00:24:47No, he's disappeared completely.
00:24:58Young man.
00:25:00Young man.
00:25:03Young man,
00:25:04I want to find a doctor.
00:25:05A doctor?
00:25:06There's a man been hurt
00:25:07in that studio apartment
00:25:08up there.
00:25:09Man hurt?
00:25:10I don't know where he came from,
00:25:11but he's got a gash across his forehead.
00:25:15Oh, that is too bad, madam.
00:25:17I will get you a doctor immediately.
00:25:19I know one that lives right close by.
00:25:20Good.
00:25:21Hurry up.
00:25:22Yes, madam.
00:25:23Now, don't stop and dawdle.
00:25:25No, madam.
00:25:37I am sorry to keep Your Highness waiting,
00:25:40but I hate to part with you
00:25:42until I have your nephews to keep me company.
00:25:46They can't have gone far,
00:25:48and my men will bring them back.
00:25:50Look here.
00:25:52If you will let my nephews go,
00:25:54you may do anything you want with me.
00:25:57I swear I won't even cry out.
00:26:04But I want you to cry out.
00:26:08Doctor.
00:26:09Yes?
00:26:11We found Prince Nicholas.
00:26:13Huh?
00:26:14He's in the next house and wounded.
00:26:17They sent me for a doctor.
00:26:20Well, we must not disappoint them.
00:26:25Get my hat and coat in the bag.
00:26:28The black bag.
00:26:38Luck is with me tonight, Your Highness.
00:26:42But before I leave,
00:26:43I have a little matter to settle you and I.
00:27:13Come on.
00:27:34I told you how it would be
00:27:35if we came to New York and lived on a roof.
00:27:37Now you see?
00:27:38Men popping in at 2 a.m.
00:27:39and me running around in curl papers.
00:27:41Take decent.
00:27:42How do you know he isn't a murderer
00:27:43that came in to cut our throats?
00:27:45Why didn't you shoot him?
00:27:46Here, you're not doing that right.
00:27:47Give it to me.
00:27:50There's the doctor.
00:27:56Good evening.
00:27:58You have an injured man here?
00:28:00Yes, and I'm afraid he's badly hurt.
00:28:02Well.
00:28:05How do?
00:28:06Good evening.
00:28:07Good. So you found him?
00:28:08Yes, madam.
00:28:09And came yourself?
00:28:10I had to, to show him the way, madam.
00:28:12Who's there?
00:28:14That is the doctor's assistant, madam.
00:28:16Oh.
00:28:21You don't think he's going to die?
00:28:24That would not surprise me at all.
00:28:28Oh, there, there.
00:28:29Don't take on.
00:28:30It isn't as if he was a friend of the family.
00:28:33I'm afraid that what I have to do can't be done here.
00:28:37I'll have him taken to my office.
00:28:39I think he'd rather stay here.
00:28:41Stop that nonsense.
00:28:42Of course the doctor must take him.
00:28:43Good.
00:28:45Well then.
00:28:47Come on, boy.
00:28:54You.
00:28:56What did you do with my uncle?
00:28:58Oh, there, there, there.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01There, there.
00:29:02Let me go.
00:29:03There, there.
00:29:04Quiet.
00:29:05Go.
00:29:07It's a strange thing about these head wounds.
00:29:10One never knows what hallucinations they will produce.
00:29:14I'll quiet him.
00:29:15No.
00:29:16Please.
00:29:17Let me go.
00:29:18May I ask you to help me?
00:29:20Now, push down the sleeve.
00:29:23Went down.
00:29:24There.
00:29:25Please.
00:29:26Please.
00:29:27Don't let him touch me.
00:29:28Try to understand.
00:29:29It's the doctor.
00:29:30No.
00:29:31No, I tell you.
00:29:32It's Carl.
00:29:35Hold him there now.
00:29:36Hold him tight now.
00:29:37Wait.
00:29:38Wait a minute.
00:29:39Stop.
00:29:40What nonsense is this?
00:29:41No, no.
00:29:42I wouldn't sit there with a doctor, miss.
00:29:43Leave her alone.
00:29:44Hold him.
00:29:45Take your hands off her.
00:29:46Hold him.
00:29:47Drop that.
00:29:48Quick.
00:29:56You have a positive genius for being just in time, Mr. Kent.
00:30:00Don't stop to talk.
00:30:01Take me to Prince Evan.
00:30:03And if I should refuse?
00:30:04Quick.
00:30:05Get in.
00:30:06Get out of the way.
00:30:07Get out of the way.
00:30:08Out of the way.
00:30:09Out of the way.
00:30:10Out of the way.
00:30:11Out of the way.
00:30:12Out of the way.
00:30:13Out of the way.
00:30:14Out of the way.
00:30:15Out of the way.
00:30:16Out of the way.
00:30:17Where's the light switch?
00:30:18Light.
00:30:19Help.
00:30:20Help.
00:30:21Please, somebody.
00:30:22Help.
00:30:23Wait a minute.
00:30:24I saw a shadow go by.
00:30:25Help.
00:30:26Where'd they go?
00:30:27Where are they?
00:30:28Did you see them?
00:30:29They went up there.
00:30:30Quick.
00:30:31There they go.
00:30:33Look.
00:30:45It's Karloff.
00:30:47Quick, get him.
00:30:49Get him.
00:31:02I've killed him.
00:31:04No. No, you didn't kill him.
00:31:07He's been dead for some time.
00:31:09Are you sure?
00:31:11Look at his throat.
00:31:15Well, there's no sign of him in there.
00:31:17Brett, phone Kennedy to send more men.
00:31:25Excuse me, please.
00:31:28Excuse me, please.
00:31:30Brett, when you get Kennedy on the phone,
00:31:32tell him I want a drag net thrown around this district.
00:31:34Yes, sir.
00:31:35And, Brett, while you're about it, you might as well telephone him here.
00:31:38Such hanky-panky at 2 o'clock in the morning.
00:31:40Everybody trampling around, stepping all over people.
00:31:47You two boys have got to get out of here at once.
00:31:49Where can we go?
00:31:50I'm hanged if I know.
00:31:51I wish I knew someplace outside of town,
00:31:53where I could feel you were safe.
00:31:55I know. Aunt Abby's house.
00:31:57Where's that?
00:31:58It's way off in the country.
00:31:59They'd never find it.
00:32:01Well, that might be just the place to lie low for a few days.
00:32:05Not me.
00:32:06I don't leave here until we get Carl.
00:32:08Oh, now look here, my boy.
00:32:10You've got to realize we're dealing with a madman.
00:32:12Let me run things.
00:32:14So long as you're here, my hands are tied.
00:32:16But with you safely out of the way...
00:32:17Please. Please do as he says.
00:32:19Nick, Nick, don't be a fool.
00:32:20We've got to get away from here.
00:32:22All right, I'll go.
00:32:23Yeah. Now, then that's settled.
00:32:25Now, I've got a plan for smuggling you out of the house
00:32:27so that no one will know.
00:32:29I'll bring my car around the street a block from here.
00:32:39Well, all I've got to say is,
00:32:40if I was running the United States,
00:32:42knit two, purl two,
00:32:44that Carl off would never have been let into the country.
00:32:46Knit two, purl two.
00:32:48Makes oysters run up and down my spine.
00:32:50Makes oysters run up and down my spine to think he's still loose.
00:33:13It's inconceivable to me how he could get away
00:33:15with both the police and Secret Service after him.
00:33:21What's that?
00:33:22It's at the front door.
00:33:34Do you want me to open it, sir?
00:33:36Yes, but have your gun handy.
00:33:39Well?
00:33:40I just came from headquarters with a message from Mr. Kent.
00:33:43Oh, come in.
00:33:48It's a message from headquarters.
00:33:50Is it to Bob Karloff?
00:33:52Karloff is dead, sir.
00:33:54Dead?
00:33:55Yes, sir.
00:33:57Here's the letter.
00:33:59It's a letter from Mr. Kent.
00:34:01It's a letter from Mr. Kent.
00:34:03It's a letter from Mr. Kent.
00:34:05Yes, sir.
00:34:06Here's the letter.
00:34:08Oh, now you're safe.
00:34:11Well, blessed providence, now we can sleep nice.
00:34:15Does it really say Karloff's dead, Mr. Kent?
00:34:18Yes.
00:34:19One of his men betrayed his hiding place.
00:34:21But before the police could break in,
00:34:23he committed suicide by exploding a bomb.
00:34:26They want you to come up and identify the body, sir.
00:34:28I brought down a car.
00:34:29Oh, I see.
00:34:31You're a new man, aren't you?
00:34:33I don't remember seeing you before.
00:34:34I've been working on the West Coast.
00:34:35Oh.
00:34:36If you want to see my credentials...
00:34:37No, no, no, no, no.
00:34:38This letter's in code.
00:34:39Follow with you.
00:34:47I don't like his looks.
00:34:48You think it's safe?
00:34:50Now, don't worry.
00:34:51Trust me.
00:34:52Everything will be all right.
00:34:55Now, listen.
00:34:57And get this straight.
00:35:03All right, sir.
00:35:25Where's your car?
00:35:27Down the road, by that old mill.
00:35:30Come on.
00:35:43Well, that's a relief.
00:35:46I'll take it.
00:35:48I'll take it.
00:35:51Well, that's a relief.
00:35:59Well, I don't know how you folks feel, but...
00:36:02all this gallivanting's made me hungry.
00:36:04I'm going to fix us a bang-up dinner.
00:36:06Hooray!
00:36:07Hey, Prince.
00:36:08You trot down cellar and fetch me up a bucket of coal.
00:36:11You mean me?
00:36:12Yes, you.
00:36:14It won't hurt you to saw your hands for once.
00:36:17Very well.
00:36:19Where is it?
00:36:20Second door to the left.
00:36:22And shake up the furnace while you're down.
00:36:25I'm sorry to speak ill of your kin, but I don't like his face.
00:36:29Aunt Abby!
00:36:30Don't you, Aunt Abby, me, Kitty Conover.
00:36:32He's the spitting image of that fellow
00:36:33who sold me stock in a diamond mine last spring.
00:36:36You don't see me wearing any diamonds, do you?
00:36:39Don't go.
00:36:41I want to tell you what a trump I think you were
00:36:43for trusting me last night.
00:36:44I didn't trust you.
00:36:46I had you covered all the time.
00:36:57Like American music?
00:36:59And American girls.
00:37:01My mother was an American.
00:37:03My father met her over here and fell in love with her.
00:37:07It runs in the family.
00:37:16And I like American weddings, too.
00:37:47We have Mr. Kent, Doctor.
00:37:53Good evening, Mr. Kent.
00:37:55Good evening, Doctor.
00:37:56I see the reports of your death have been considerably exaggerated.
00:38:00Considerably.
00:38:02I suppose it was the traitor who was found dead in your place.
00:38:06Right.
00:38:07Just before the bomb exploded, I changed clothes with him
00:38:11and escaped under the very noses of your men.
00:38:16If you're not afraid to try one.
00:38:19Oh, no, not at all.
00:38:21I don't believe you'd be so unoriginal as to...
00:38:24Oh, no, no, no.
00:38:29I don't need to ask how your man got hold of that letter from headquarters.
00:38:34No.
00:38:35I fancy it's quite obvious.
00:38:38The body of their messenger ought to show up at the top of the mill pond
00:38:42for, say, four or five days.
00:38:45I figured the code letter would keep you from suspecting my man.
00:38:50But still, I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Kent.
00:38:55I didn't think you would walk into my trap quite so blindly.
00:39:00Would it make you any happier to know I saw the trap
00:39:03and walked into it deliberately?
00:39:06When I heard the body was unrecognizable,
00:39:09I knew you were still alive
00:39:11and in hopes of preventing further killings,
00:39:13I let your man lead me to you
00:39:16so that I could do this.
00:39:24An excellent shot.
00:39:27All of them over the heart.
00:39:29But fortunately, in Russia,
00:39:31I acquired the habit of wearing a bulletproof vest.
00:39:36Peter.
00:39:38We searched him, sir.
00:39:40I took my revolver away.
00:39:42I had the second one hidden.
00:39:44Very clever.
00:39:49But didn't it occur to you that you might fail
00:39:52and that the consequences would not be pleasant?
00:39:56Naturally.
00:39:59You should have been a Russian, Mr. Kent.
00:40:02You would have been a great help to me.
00:40:04Hardly.
00:40:06You see, I consider you a madman.
00:40:09Because I kill people?
00:40:11Yesterday, you killed my man.
00:40:14Just now, you tried to kill me.
00:40:17Do you consider yourself a madman?
00:40:24Take him upstairs.
00:40:30A little formula I'm preparing.
00:40:34For me?
00:40:35Oh, no.
00:40:36I can't spare you.
00:40:38Not yet.
00:40:39You amuse me.
00:40:41In fact, you are my trump card.
00:40:44Watch him carefully
00:40:46and see that he does not escape.
00:40:48Yes, doctor.
00:40:52Oh, Mr. Kent.
00:40:55I most rudely
00:40:57omitted to answer your question.
00:41:00I'm brewing this for the Petrovs.
00:41:03By the time it is ready,
00:41:05they will be here.
00:41:09Much more of the white piece, Your Highness.
00:41:12No, thank you. I've had two helpings already.
00:41:14I'll take another piece.
00:41:16You would.
00:41:28Merciful goodness.
00:41:30There certainly is a bad storm blowing up.
00:41:33Well, I wish you wouldn't make so much fuss about it.
00:41:36I never did see that lightning did anybody any good.
00:41:39Except Lightning Rod Salesman.
00:41:44Oh, my gracious.
00:41:51It's only the wind.
00:41:52I saw a man's face out there. I know I did.
00:41:57Wait a minute. Wait.
00:41:59Wait.
00:42:05You mustn't go out there, sir.
00:42:07Mr. Kent left positive orders.
00:42:09Oh, that's nonsense.
00:42:10There isn't any danger there now.
00:42:12Karloff is dead.
00:42:13You wait here. I'll go and see.
00:42:23Someone has been here.
00:42:26Oh, the light.
00:42:27Put on the light. Where are they?
00:42:29Over there in the corner.
00:42:31It won't work.
00:42:32There are all the candles.
00:42:35Here's the match.
00:42:42Where is Brett?
00:42:43He must be out there.
00:42:45Brett. Brett.
00:42:46Oh, Brett.
00:42:49Wait. Listen.
00:42:51There's someone at the front door.
00:42:54I'll go.
00:43:12Is he dead?
00:43:13I don't know. Help me get him over there quick.
00:43:15All right.
00:43:25They got me.
00:43:27Karloff is alive.
00:43:36What's this?
00:43:44It's addressed to you.
00:43:54Me.
00:44:11Me.
00:44:17I'm going to phone the sheriff.
00:44:25Hello?
00:44:27Hello?
00:44:32Hello? Why don't you answer?
00:44:37Hello?
00:44:40What's the matter, Matthew?
00:44:41I can't seem to get anybody.
00:44:44Hello?
00:44:46What's wrong?
00:44:47I can't get anyone.
00:44:49Let me try.
00:44:50Hello?
00:44:51Hello?
00:44:53Hello?
00:45:00They've cut the line.
00:45:02Kitty Conover, come with me. We've got some more candles.
00:45:04One thing we're going to have is plenty of light.
00:45:08Gregor.
00:45:12Gregor.
00:45:15Do you know what this means?
00:45:17Karloff is alive.
00:45:18Do you know what this means?
00:45:19Karloff is alive.
00:45:20There's only one thing for us to do.
00:45:22You and I have got to get out of this house.
00:45:24Out of this house?
00:45:25Yes.
00:45:26As long as we stay here, we're endangering the women.
00:45:29But we can't go out.
00:45:31Karloff will kill us.
00:45:32Well, we can give him a run for his money.
00:45:35Well, you can go if you want to.
00:45:37But I'm staying here.
00:45:39But listen, Gregor.
00:45:40I'm staying here.
00:45:42Wait.
00:45:43He's right.
00:45:44You can't leave this house tonight.
00:45:46You must be sensible.
00:45:47Karloff has no quarrel with you.
00:45:48If we leave here, he'll let you alone.
00:45:50All he wants is Gregor and me.
00:46:17Oh, my good man.
00:46:41Oh, it's you, is it?
00:46:43Where are you going?
00:46:44To get the sheriff.
00:46:45When it comes to killing men all over my front steps, he's got to put a stop to it.
00:46:49But they'll catch you.
00:46:50Well, if they do, least ways I'll have the comfort of giving the ruffians a piece of my mind.
00:46:54Wait.
00:47:01In case Karloff should get you, I've got a message.
00:47:07I've been wondering how to get it to him.
00:47:12I'm offering to give myself up if you let the rest of you go.
00:47:17Well, now, that's real noble of you, Prince.
00:47:20Maybe I've been a little hasty.
00:47:22You aren't so bad.
00:47:24Here.
00:47:26I'll tell you more when I get back with the sheriff.
00:47:40Nicholas, please.
00:47:57There's no use arguing.
00:47:58Gregor and I are leaving.
00:47:59But I don't want you to go.
00:48:01I'm sorry, but...
00:48:04Gregor.
00:48:07Gregor.
00:48:10I wonder where he is.
00:48:16Gregor.
00:48:19Gregor.
00:48:21Aunt Abby.
00:48:23Aunt Abby.
00:48:25Aunt Abby.
00:48:26I wonder where they are.
00:48:29I don't know.
00:48:33Maybe they're upstairs.
00:48:35I'll go and see.
00:49:02This fellow actually offers to trust my word.
00:49:06A rat caught in a trap has no choice.
00:49:09Very true.
00:49:12Bring him.
00:49:14I have a use for rats.
00:49:18I will bring him.
00:49:26Now we'll talk.
00:49:28I do not doubt it, madam.
00:49:30I've been waiting for you for a long time.
00:49:32I'm tired, Mrs. Cranmer.
00:49:34You won't be so tired.
00:49:35You'll be tired when I get through.
00:49:37I've been dying to give you a piece of my mind.
00:49:39But, my dear.
00:49:40Now don't try to talk, because it won't do you any good until I've had my say.
00:49:44I know what you're like.
00:49:46Making jokes about everything.
00:49:47Even murder.
00:49:49I've seen them born and I've seen them grow up.
00:49:52Pulling wings off flies when they're babies.
00:49:55Hunting robins with slingshots and drowning tomcats when they're boys.
00:49:59Shooting and murdering when they're men.
00:50:01And where are they now?
00:50:02I ask you.
00:50:03Where are they now?
00:50:06Well, I'm sure I don't know.
00:50:08Where are they?
00:50:10Hung.
00:50:11That's what.
00:50:12Every mother son of them.
00:50:13Hung.
00:50:14Doctor.
00:50:15Prince Gregor is outside.
00:50:17And mark my words, my man.
00:50:19Take this woman away.
00:50:20She annoys me.
00:50:21You will end on a scaffold yourself.
00:50:23With your tamavars and your vodkas and all your Russian vices.
00:50:27Shut up her mouth.
00:50:30All I have to say is, I never did like Caviar.
00:50:35The Russian dancers.
00:50:36Squatting down on their hind legs.
00:50:38Running a mile and getting nowhere.
00:50:44Take your hands off me, you fleeking tamavar.
00:50:47And as for you, you vulgar...
00:50:49Here, here, here.
00:50:50What's wrong?
00:50:51I'm never so desperate in all my life.
00:50:55It is your brother Nicholas who killed my daughter.
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:01And I'll show you a way to get him if you let me go.
00:51:05You haven't anything against me now, have you?
00:51:08I swear.
00:51:09It wasn't I.
00:51:10There's no need to swear.
00:51:13My daughter could never have cared for a thing like you.
00:51:21I have seen men die by the thousand.
00:51:24I've seen them shot against walls.
00:51:27Stabbed with bayonets.
00:51:29But never have I seen a man low enough to betray his own brother.
00:51:33To save his filthy hide.
00:51:38I'm not betraying him.
00:51:40I've done you.
00:51:41He did it.
00:51:42He did it.
00:51:43He promised you wouldn't touch me.
00:51:45I don't intend to touch your highness.
00:51:48I wish to make a little experiment.
00:51:51I am not certain that this formula is correct.
00:51:55And I need a rat to try it out.
00:51:58Get him.
00:51:59Oh, no.
00:52:01Oh, let me go.
00:52:03No.
00:52:04In here.
00:52:05Oh, you promised.
00:52:07You promised you wouldn't touch me.
00:52:08No.
00:52:10Carlos!
00:52:26Wait, Carlos.
00:52:27Let me have him.
00:52:28Let me have him.
00:52:29I didn't.
00:52:30I swear I didn't do it.
00:52:31No!
00:52:32No, Carlos, that's it.
00:52:33No!
00:52:39The formula seems to be quite correct.
00:52:59Remove the body and clear the room of gas.
00:53:04We shall need it again.
00:53:26What is this?
00:53:27It's a door knob.
00:53:28A grosslinger's dummy.
00:53:41I'll hold it.
00:54:24I wonder what's happened to him.
00:54:38I can't figure it out.
00:54:39Look out!
