00:00:09 I love a mystery.
00:00:12 Featuring the adventures of Jack Packard and Doc Long in
00:00:17 The Decapitation of Jefferson Monk.
00:00:19 [Music]
00:00:49 [Music]
00:01:05 San Francisco, golden gateway to the Orient,
00:01:10 where East and West have met and mingled.
00:01:14 City of romance and mystery.
00:01:23 What's your hurry, Joe? Take your time. All the king's horses can't put that
00:01:27 full of lacta together again.
00:01:29 [Music]
00:01:40 Pretty sad, Gimpy. Thanks, boys.
00:01:44 Name, Jefferson Monk. Address?
00:01:50 Tell me you just got a new customer, Gimpy. Anybody important? How should I
00:01:53 know? Two of these portals pass the known and unknown,
00:01:55 the important and the unimportant, eventually. Now that's a cheerful thought.
00:01:59 Your morbid vocation has made a philosopher out of you, Gimpy.
00:02:03 What's the name? Monk, Jefferson Monk. Automobile crash, in Bridge.
00:02:10 Railway, dead on arrival. That's right. Jefferson Monk.
00:02:15 Hey, could that be THE Jefferson Monk? Such be.
00:02:18 You mind if I take a look? No, help yourself.
00:02:22 Where's his head? Say, Morgan, how do you spell
00:02:29 decapitated?
00:02:42 [Music]
00:02:56 [Music]
00:03:05 I can't understand it. Mr. Monk, he was such a nice gentleman. He used to come
00:03:11 here very often. I think I told you already about that,
00:03:14 Mr. Monk. Six times. Fellas got a right to repeat
00:03:18 himself once in a while, but you're overdoing it.
00:03:21 Hey, you know, Jack, that fella was right. That prophesied pick the date that Monk
00:03:25 was gonna die. Prophecy. He hit it right on the nose.
00:03:29 Yes, prophecy was fulfilled. Now, gentlemen, please, you can't make me
00:03:33 believe in such nonsensicals. We didn't believe it either when Mr.
00:03:37 Monk first told us about it. Yeah, I thought he was drunk as a who-dell.
00:03:42 He's satting right over yon in booth number 12 with that gal, Jean.
00:03:48 It was one o'clock in the morning, three nights ago,
00:03:52 just three nights ago on the 13th of March.
00:03:56 Will that be all, Mr. Monk? For the time being.
00:04:02 [Music]
00:04:16 I say, Petrushka, Bovarich. Petrushka? Speciality of the house.
00:04:20 Petrushka? Well, what is that? Sort of a Russian cheesecake.
00:04:24 It's very special. You ought to have some. I'd rather have an introduction to that
00:04:28 there little old gypsy pigeon. Which one? That little blonde. One that's
00:04:33 playing the fiddle. Oh, you mean Charda? You want to meet her?
00:04:36 That's done. As soon as she finishes her number. I guess I ought to warn you,
00:04:40 Bovarich, Doc is quite a ladies' man. He's left a trail of broken hearts from
00:04:44 Hong Kong to Hong Kong.
00:04:49 [Music] Excuse me, gentlemen. It seems to be a
00:04:53 little trouble in number 12. Why'd you say that?
00:04:58 Please, don't talk so loud. Excuse me, Mr. Monk.
00:05:02 Has everything been satisfied? I've been insulted. This lady's insulted me. Call me
00:05:05 a coward. Why, I'm sure such a beautiful lady will
00:05:07 never intentionally insult you, Mr. Monk. Of course not. Please sit down. I won't
00:05:11 sit down. There's no one here who can make me sit down.
00:05:14 I'm leaving. Jefferson, don't make a scene. Why not? What's the matter with that?
00:05:17 How you like that? Here I am enjoying all this fancy foreign feed in an old-fashioned
00:05:23 brawl. That's to bust out next door. Just because of Lush, he's gonna...
00:05:34 Gentlemen, do I look to you as if I was afraid of anything?
00:05:37 What is bothering you, my table-hopping friend? Take it easy, Doc.
00:05:42 The aspersion has been made that I'm a coward. Okay, son. I done counted to ten.
00:05:46 What are you begging for? Gentlemen, please. Mr. Packard, Mr. Long,
00:05:51 may I present you Mr. Jefferson Monk and Miss...
00:05:54 Jean. Ah, Sasha. Right in time. Sasha ran,
00:05:59 tell Gregory to turn off the lights. I shall light this Café Royale here now
00:06:06 in honor of Mr. Monk and our special guests,
00:06:10 the famous detective, Mr. Jack Packard and Mr. Doc Long.
00:06:14 Detectives? That's right. Miss Jean, ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:21 this Café Royale is the speciality of the house.
00:06:26 Isn't that beautiful? Oh, that's mighty beautiful.
00:06:35 Ladies and gentlemen, please, please, that's nothing. Just an accident.
00:06:49 Nice work, son. Remind me to say thank you. Do you have any first aid equipment in
00:06:58 the kitchen? Yes, the kitchen. Take Doc out there and dress his arms.
00:07:01 It's not too severe, Reverend. Your jacket got the worst of it.
00:07:04 I mean, I can't sue him for nothing but just a new coat. Only one slave.
00:07:08 But it's this way. I think we better be going.
00:07:12 I'm sorry I had to bowl you over like that, Mr. Monk.
00:07:16 I'm very grateful. That was not sort of an accident.
00:07:20 It wasn't an accident. The fire and the boiling coffee were intended for me.
00:07:26 Why do you say that? He's been talking nonsense like that all evening.
00:07:30 Can't we go now, Jefferson? You wouldn't look so skeptical, Mr. Packard,
00:07:34 if you knew that accidents like this are constantly happening to me.
00:07:37 Why don't you go to the police for protection? That's what makes it all so
00:07:41 tragically absurd. I don't know the names of the people who
00:07:44 want to kill me. I've never even seen their faces. All I
00:07:48 know is I won't be alive three days from now.
00:07:52 I've been condemned to death.
00:07:57 You don't believe me, but whenever I go anywhere at night,
00:08:01 there's a man who follows me everywhere. In his hand he carries a small black
00:08:07 valise, just the right size to hold a man's head.
00:08:11 Jefferson. I tell you I've seen it.
00:08:15 He carries a small black valise. You've never seen his face?
00:08:20 Never. And he's been following me for nearly a month.
00:08:23 Well, how come? You got anything belongs to him?
00:08:27 He thinks so. He's after my head. Now I've heard everything. You don't have
00:08:33 to take my word for it. Just follow me and see for yourself.
00:08:37 Why, certainly. Will you? I'd be very grateful.
00:08:44 You see, sometimes I'm not so sure of myself.
00:08:48 I feel confused. Well, you just go ahead. Me and Jack will be right behind you.
00:08:53 Anybody following you, I will grab. Won't we, son?
00:08:58 I left my coat in the booth. Would you get it for me, Jefferson?
00:09:02 Why, certainly. Excuse me.
00:09:06 Been very patient with him. You are not Mrs. Monk, I take it?
00:09:12 No, just a friend. You see, Mr. Monk's wife is an invalid.
00:09:16 I hope you're not serious about following us. There really isn't anything. It's all
00:09:20 in Jefferson's mind. Yes, I'm sure it is, Miss...
00:09:24 Jean. We only agreed to follow him so that he'd leave quietly.
00:09:28 Yeah, Jean, but if you need any help in the future while me and Jack is staying
00:09:33 at the Baycrest Hotel, room 1202. Thank you. Here you are.
00:09:40 You haven't changed your mind. You're going to follow us. Oh, sure.
00:09:44 Just leave it to us.
00:09:47 [Music]
00:09:53 Come on, son. My arm's beginning to hurt. Let's get on out of here.
00:09:57 Wait a minute. Give him time to get a little way ahead of us.
00:10:01 [Music]
00:10:18 Seems like kind of a shame to walk off and leave, Mr. Monk.
00:10:22 I don't intend to leave, Mr. Monk. Or his girlfriend, Jean, who doesn't like the
00:10:26 everlast name. Hey, you didn't fall for that stuff he
00:10:29 was handing out? Why, he was so drunk. He wasn't drunk.
00:10:32 He'd been drugged.
00:10:35 I don't hear them. They said they'd follow us. That doesn't mean they'll be
00:10:45 stepping on our heels.
00:10:48 [Footsteps]
00:11:07 Do you hear anything? Yes. That step.
00:11:14 It's him. Do you hear it? I don't hear anything. Are you sure it isn't
00:11:21 just in your mind? No, no. It's not in my mind.
00:11:23 I tell you, I hear it. Listen. Nothing. Come on, let's go.
00:11:31 Wait. I'm going to stay and face it. Those detectives aren't following you.
00:11:37 They're probably home in bed. What? What did you say?
00:11:43 They told me they weren't going to follow us. They only said that to get
00:11:46 rid of you. You're lying. Say you're lying. Say you're lying.
00:11:50 Help! Help! Are you one of them?
00:11:54 [Music]
00:12:03 There he goes, Doc. Get after him.
00:12:06 [Music]
00:12:14 Hey, Jack. Is he hurt? No, it just has the wit scared out of him.
00:12:17 Well, no wonder. Did you get a look at that freak?
00:12:20 No, not a close one. Well, I did. Too close. Are you all right?
00:12:24 You see, I was telling the truth. Yeah, I guess you were. Well, from now on, Doc
00:12:30 and I'll do your worrying for you. Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on that
00:12:34 fellow with that satchel again.
00:12:37 [Music]
00:12:41 [Dog barking]
00:12:50 Lie down, Hamlet.
00:12:53 [Dog barking]
00:12:56 Lie down, Hamlet.
00:13:01 He's worried about me. What gets me is what you said about that gal,
00:13:05 Jean. You sure you ain't never seen her before tonight? Positive.
00:13:09 She sort of attached herself to me at the bar. I see a light in one of the
00:13:12 windows. Do the servants wait up for you? No, that
00:13:15 light's in Mrs. Monk's room. My wife never goes to sleep until I get
00:13:18 home. Ellen's at Invered, paralyzed from the waist down.
00:13:21 Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Nice of her to wait up for you.
00:13:25 I'd rather you didn't mention what happened tonight. I don't want my wife to
00:13:29 start worrying about me. Well, how about you having just three more
00:13:32 days to live? Did you tell her about that? Oh, yes.
00:13:35 Ellen knows all about the prophecy. It's connected with her paralysis.
00:13:39 Prophecy? Yes. Shall we go in? I'll explain the entire matter to you
00:13:44 inside.
00:13:46 [Music]
00:13:58 You're on the oriental side, ain't you? Yes, my wife loves everything connected
00:14:02 with the orient. Will you wait a moment, please? I'll tell
00:14:05 out of my gear.
00:14:08 What'd you make of it, son? You got any ideas? I don't know enough about it yet
00:14:18 to have any ideas.
00:14:21 What's the matter?
00:14:28 [Music]
00:14:35 Who are you?
00:14:38 Mrs. Monk? I'm Jack Packard and this is my partner, Doc Long.
00:14:43 We brought Mr. Monk home. Oh, there you are, darling.
00:14:46 I went to your room, but I couldn't find you. Jefferson, why are these gentlemen
00:14:49 here? My dear, they're detectives. Detectives? They promised to help us.
00:14:52 Jefferson, are you out of your mind? You want every tabloid newspaper in this
00:14:55 town to learn our story? But darling, our business is keeping secrets, Mrs.
00:14:59 Monk. Yes, ma'am. Besides, we already know quite a
00:15:02 little bit. Mr. Packard and Mr. Long befriended me this
00:15:05 evening. I've told them a little of what we've been through the past few weeks.
00:15:10 Jefferson and I have been living under such a strain since all this began.
00:15:15 I'm afraid I was terribly rude to you. Please forgive me.
00:15:18 That's all right, we understand. Dear, if you don't mind,
00:15:22 I'd like to tell them the whole story from the very beginning.
00:15:26 Well, you see, about a year ago, Jefferson and I took a trip through the
00:15:29 Orient. A sort of second honeymoon for us. We didn't know then that it was too...
00:15:34 If I could only make you understand. You mustn't talk, dear. I'll explain
00:15:38 everything. All right. I'm tired. I... Will you please
00:15:42 excuse me? Good night. Good night. Good night.
00:15:45 Good night to you. Please make Mr. Packard and Mr. Long feel at home.
00:15:48 Of course.
00:15:50 When I see how bravely she takes all this, it makes me thoroughly ashamed of
00:15:56 myself. I think we'd be more comfortable in the
00:15:59 drawing room.
00:16:02 Before we begin, can I pour anyone a drink? Not for me, thanks. I don't ever
00:16:14 touch this stuff so early in the morning. Mind if I have one?
00:16:19 I need something after tonight's little experience. Go out of here, it's unheapsame.
00:16:22 You were saying something about a second honeymoon. Yes.
00:16:27 You see, Ellen and I were great travelers, and this trip was deliberately
00:16:30 haphazard. We took coastwise boats and tramp steamers
00:16:34 from one seaport to the next, stopping off at wonderful out-of-the-way
00:16:38 places. This all started in Back Yard, supposed to
00:16:43 be one of the wickedest places in the world.
00:16:45 Certainly one of the most mysterious. It was Ellen's idea that we go there.
00:16:50 I hadn't wanted to, but she insisted. She had heard of a thieves market in Back
00:16:55 Yard with the marvelous specimens of jade, and she wanted to visit it. Ellen loves
00:17:00 jade and is always collecting it. In those days she was well and walking.
00:17:06 It was there in Back Yard that a startling thought came to me.
00:17:10 A street musician who seemed to be following us looks strangely familiar.
00:17:15 In several parts previously I was certain we had seen him,
00:17:18 always playing the same weird music. Suddenly his presence ceased being
00:17:22 coincidental and became deliberate. I was convinced that the musician was
00:17:27 following us and that his music was in some way
00:17:30 connected with Ellen and me.
00:17:33 We were saving for home the next day, but somehow I couldn't shake off the
00:17:43 eerie feeling that music had given me. Then one night I heard it again.
00:17:50 Here, right here in San Francisco. It was evening. I was meeting Ellen for
00:17:56 dinner in a strange part of town. She was very late and it had grown dark.
00:18:02 I was beginning to be nervous when I heard that same music.
00:18:06 There coming toward me was a blind beggar.
00:18:11 Suddenly I made up my mind to speak to him. I stepped from my car and threw him a coin.
00:18:17 Would you mind telling me what tune that is you're playing?
00:18:20 It is music of my people far away. As long as you hear it no harm will come to
00:18:28 you. Do you recognize it? Yes, I've heard it
00:18:31 several times. In the Orient. Then if you recognize it, I have
00:18:36 message for you.
00:18:39 To my amazement, the note was in Ellen's handwriting, asking me to come to her and
00:18:44 implying she was in some danger. My first impulse was to call the police,
00:18:49 but the note warned me to come alone. I asked the beggar, "Where did you get
00:18:54 this?" My master, he wishes to speak with you.
00:18:58 Who is your master? Where is he? Most high man, most important.
00:19:04 He say you will come to see him. What makes him so sure?
00:19:09 He say if you love your wife, you will come to see him. Follow me, please.
00:19:18 I suppose everyone has at some time or other been in situations where familiar
00:19:28 things suddenly become strange. It was that way with me. I have lived here
00:19:33 all my life, and yet I followed that blind man through
00:19:37 alleys and along strange streets I had never seen before.
00:19:41 I felt as if I had been cut off from the world I knew. I was alone
00:19:45 in a strange foreign place, and I was frightened,
00:19:49 like a child that awakens and finds itself surrounded by
00:19:53 new unfamiliar faces.
00:20:00 Is this where my wife is? Where's your master?
00:20:05 Follow me.
00:20:07 My master is here.
00:20:29 [Music]
00:20:33 [Music]
00:20:37 [Music]
00:20:41 [Music]
00:20:45 [Music]
00:20:51 [Music]
00:20:57 [Music]
00:21:03 [Music]
00:21:13 I will tell the master you are here. Just a moment.
00:21:17 Who is this master? He will speak for himself.
00:21:22 The room I was in seemed to be the basement of a deserted temple or
00:21:25 monastery. As I waited, a strange feeling I was
00:21:30 being watched came over me.
00:21:33 [Music]
00:21:39 [Music]
00:21:44 I am the person who sent for you. You may call me Mr. G.
00:21:48 Will you kindly tell me where my wife is and why you brought me here?
00:21:51 Have patience, Mr. Monk. I have followed you for many months over many thousands
00:21:55 of miles. That still doesn't answer my question, Mr. G.
00:21:58 If that is your real name. Reality, Mr. Monk, what is it?
00:22:02 If you are a skeptic, you say only those things that you can see and feel and
00:22:05 taste are real. Believe me, there is more to life than
00:22:08 that. There is even more to death. I didn't come here to discuss philosophy.
00:22:12 Oh, forgive me. I was in doubting myself. Allow me to reassure you that your wife
00:22:16 is safe and that she is here. Thank you. Now if
00:22:20 you'll take me to her, I'll... Everything in due time, Mr. Monk.
00:22:23 I have first to make you a proposition. A business proposition.
00:22:27 Your business methods are a trifle unique, Mr. G. You may say the same of
00:22:31 the proposition I am about to make. You see, philosophers and scientists have
00:22:35 for centuries maintained that nature never repeats herself. That
00:22:39 her variety is limitless. And yet at this moment and in this very
00:22:43 room, there are two mortal forms so much alike
00:22:48 as to defy explanation. What do you mean? Who are you?
00:22:56 I am G, the high priest of the sacred society of the Baruch Khan.
00:23:01 Baruch Khan? The oldest secret society in the world.
00:23:06 We were old when Marco Polo was young, over 700 years ago.
00:23:11 He was the only other white man ever to become a member.
00:23:15 What are you driving at? Will you please step up here to the altar?
00:23:21 [Music]
00:23:31 I... I don't understand. Is it a mummy? Not exactly. It is the body of the
00:23:38 sacred one, the founder of the Baruch Khan. He has been
00:23:42 dead a thousand years. That's impossible. Why it's... I see you
00:23:47 notice a certain resemblance. I... I can't tell. It's incredible.
00:23:53 The body of the sacred one has been kept eternally young by the magic of the
00:23:57 embalmers. Each member of our order makes at least
00:24:00 one pilgrimage during his lifetime to the secret tomb, high in the ice-locked
00:24:05 mountains beyond Tibet. From every corner of the world they come
00:24:09 to view the features of the sacred one. What has this to do with me? Come.
00:24:15 I will show you a portrait.
00:24:19 Where did you get this? It is of our beloved founder, made during his lifetime.
00:24:27 But that's impossible. It's a portrait of me. Precisely, Mr. Monk.
00:24:32 That is why we have brought you here. On behalf of the society of the Baruch Khan,
00:24:37 I am prepared to offer you ten thousand dollars for your head.
00:24:41 Are you out of your mind? Quite the contrary.
00:24:44 Unfortunately, our founder's head is deteriorating in spite of the most
00:24:48 marvelous skill of our embalmers. Mr. Monk, the very existence of the Baruch
00:24:53 Khan depends upon your accepting our offer.
00:24:55 It's crazy. Absolutely insane. You expect me to sell you my head?
00:25:03 When you no longer have any need for it, Mr. Monk.
00:25:06 When you are dead.
00:25:09 [Music]
00:25:16 I suppose you know when that will be. It is written in the mountain snows,
00:25:21 in the bleaching sands of the desert. You will be dead one year from today.
00:25:28 You could kill me for my head. We never kill, Mr. Monk. We merely prophesy.
00:25:37 Yours will be a great honor. I can promise you glory for eternity.
00:25:43 The temple bells of Far Shantseem, tolling each day at dawn and dusk.
00:25:50 And the long lines of humble watchers who will come to gaze upon your hallowed
00:25:54 features.
00:25:56 The whole thing seems so preposterous. The presence of that mummy,
00:26:01 the portal with my incredible likeness, the mysticism of it all.
00:26:05 Well that is the doggonest thing I ever heard about. He insisted I take the
00:26:09 ten thousand dollars. You mean you agreed to sell your head?
00:26:12 Yes. Oh it was all so weird it seemed the easiest way out of a mess.
00:26:17 In fact it was the only way. Mr. G made it quite plain that unless I accepted his
00:26:21 offer, neither Ellen nor I would leave there
00:26:24 alive. Well if you ask me, I think he was darn smart.
00:26:28 A month ago I received a letter from Mr. G, reminding me that my time was almost
00:26:32 up, and prophesying that my wife would become
00:26:35 an invalid. Three days later my wife was unable to
00:26:38 get out of her bed. Her legs were paralyzed. Well I'll be dead
00:26:44 gone. Did you ever try to find the place
00:26:46 where you talked to Mr. G? I spent a week going over the entire
00:26:49 district day after day on foot. There wasn't a trace. You know one thing
00:26:53 puzzles me. If they were so eager to have your head,
00:26:56 why didn't they just take it? Yeah, why spend ten thousand bucks? Why did
00:27:00 they let you live any longer? The barrel can't prefer not to use violence.
00:27:04 You see according to Mr. G, there was the possibility that I might be the
00:27:08 reincarnation of their revered founder. That's very interesting. Oh believe me
00:27:12 there was much much more. Mr. G seemed to know everything about me.
00:27:17 When and where I was born, and evidently when and where I'm going to die.
00:27:25 [Dogs barking]
00:27:31 Your hamlet is kicking up quite a soliloquy.
00:27:34 Hey Jack, look at yonder. We got us a prowler son, come on.
00:27:40 Be careful. They've never come here to my house before.
00:27:43 You wait here, we'll see what this is all about.
00:27:54 Was the man or a woman? He was headed away from the house. I couldn't tell
00:27:57 whether it was a man or a woman. Look around, see if we can't smoke
00:28:00 something out.
00:28:02 Doc, he's headed for the road.
00:28:10 Did you see him? Yeah, he was headed this direction, but I lost sight of him.
00:28:22 Look out! Hey!
00:28:25 Doc, are you all right? I don't know son. Maybe I should have stayed in bed today.
00:28:37 Did you get a look at whoever's driving that car? Uh-uh, I was too busy looking
00:28:40 for a soft place to lie. Yeah, it's too fast for me. Come on, let's
00:28:43 check the house. Maybe some of the servants or Mrs. Monk saw the prowler.
00:28:46 Yeah, all right son. Go do that.
00:28:50 [Music]
00:29:04 Are you sure you didn't hear anyone just outside?
00:29:07 Or that no one has entered the room through this window? Well, of course I'm
00:29:10 sure. No one could have come in without my
00:29:12 knowing it. I'm a very light sleeper. I guess that's that. Thanks, Mrs. Monk.
00:29:18 Dear, would you ask Osgood to get me a glass of milk? Certainly, dear.
00:29:22 Thanks. It's a doggone shame us busting in on you this way.
00:29:27 We get to working on a case, we kind of forget about other folks' feelings.
00:29:32 Come on, Jack. Good night. No, please stay, Mr. Packard. I'd like to talk to you.
00:29:36 Of course, Mrs. Monk. I want to tell you how glad I was that you consented to
00:29:41 help us. Jefferson's been so worried. Sometimes I
00:29:45 feared for his sanity, even his life. Suicide? Well, my husband's
00:29:50 extremely sensitive. He's tortured himself with the idea that
00:29:53 he's responsible for my condition. Does your husband use any drugs or opiates
00:29:58 to quiet his nerves? Jefferson refuses sleeping medicines. He
00:30:02 thinks they're a sign of weakness. Perhaps if your physician prescribed
00:30:05 something, he'd be willing. I'll speak to Dr. Hahn about it. He's the
00:30:09 family physician. I think that'll be wise. Good night.
00:30:14 Good night.
00:30:42 Justin. Of course, Ellen.
00:30:47 Don't apologize. You wouldn't have called if it hadn't been urgent.
00:30:52 What's that?
00:30:56 Say it again, slowly.
00:31:01 Tomorrow I'm going to see what's behind Mrs. Monk's supposed illness.
00:31:07 Supposed? You mean you think maybe she ain't sick?
00:31:11 Could be. Well, that's part of the prophecy.
00:31:14 Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. All I know is that Ellen Monk wouldn't be the first
00:31:18 woman who hated her husband, pretended to be sick or paralyzed to keep him away
00:31:21 from her. Oh, man. I ain't never seen a woman act
00:31:26 more in love with her husband. Maybe that's the word for it, Doc. Act.
00:31:30 Now go to sleep.
00:31:33 [Music]
00:31:55 There, didn't you hear it? I hear a symphony, but what of it?
00:31:59 Listen to it again.
00:32:03 [Music]
00:32:13 Your sacred music of Nervasa, which is supposed to be a thousand years old, is
00:32:16 written by Tchaikovsky. I don't get it. A few notes of music
00:32:20 appear in a Russian symphony, but what does it prove?
00:32:23 Well, maybe nothing, maybe a lot. Let's look at it this way. I'm a detective.
00:32:27 I know a lot of fantastic happenings are supposed to come out of the so-called
00:32:30 mysterious east, things that have never been explained.
00:32:32 But you refuse to accept them as facts until they can be proved.
00:32:35 Is that it? Exactly. Can you explain my wife receiving a letter
00:32:40 prophesying that she'll become paralyzed? No, I can't,
00:32:43 but I'd like to see that letter. I have it right here.
00:32:54 [Music]
00:33:00 It won't be necessary to show you the other letter, Mr. Packard.
00:33:03 Here is a later one, just like it. Aren't you going to read it?
00:33:07 I know what it will say. You open it. The temple bells of Far Shan Sings, told
00:33:13 twice daily for the souls of the Barokhan,
00:33:16 at dawn and at dusk, when they have rung four more times,
00:33:21 you will come home. Temple bells of Far Shan Sing.
00:33:26 How did you know the exact wording of this? I have a very good memory.
00:33:29 The letter prophesying Ellen's illness began exactly the same way.
00:33:33 May I come in? I hope I am not interrupting.
00:33:37 Not at all. Please come in, Doctor. This is Dr. Han attending Mrs. Monk, Mr.
00:33:43 Packard, Mr. Long. Mrs. Monk has told me of your
00:33:47 exploits, gentlemen. I am glad to meet you both. How do you do,
00:33:50 Doctor? Hi. I hear we haven't been sleeping well
00:33:53 lately. Oh, that's all changed now, Doctor. Mr. Packard has promised me an amazing
00:33:58 cure for all my troubles. Oh, I'm most impressed. Mr. Packard, are
00:34:02 you by chance a medical man as well as a detective?
00:34:04 I'm only a medical amateur. What field of medicine do you prefer, Mr. Packard?
00:34:08 The human mind, Doctor. Oh, psychiatry. My branch fascinates me. If you'll excuse
00:34:14 me for a moment, I'll look in on Ellen. Oh, certainly.
00:34:19 Tell me more about your and Mr. Long's experiences.
00:34:23 Well, I started out to be a musician. Are you a musical doctor?
00:34:28 Now it's my turn to be the amateur. I understand, Doctor, that you're Russian.
00:34:33 I suppose you took your medical training at the University of St. Petersburg.
00:34:38 This is a very shrewd guess, Mr. Packard. Am I correct? Yes. Do you mind if I make
00:34:46 another shrewd guess? I don't believe there's anything the matter
00:34:49 with Mrs. Monk. I believe she could get up and walk tomorrow if she wanted to.
00:34:54 It's hardly proper for me to discuss my patients. If you'll excuse me.
00:34:59 You're de vero de lis, Doctor. What?
00:35:04 What did you say? I asked where you were born, Doctor, in your native tongue.
00:35:10 I'm also an amateur linguist. I was born in the province of Uzbek.
00:35:16 Have you ever heard of or had any dealings with the Baruchans?
00:35:20 The Baruchans? It's a secret organization of professional
00:35:24 thieves and cutthroats. Their members are everywhere, I've heard.
00:35:28 My travels haven't been as extensive as yours, Mr. Packard.
00:35:32 Is there anything further you wish to know? No, thank you.
00:35:37 But if there's ever anything you wish to tell me, Doctor, I receive all messages
00:35:44 at the Silver Samovar.
00:35:47 Well, you done struck oil there, son. Yeah, he's in the sap to his neck. What's
00:35:53 more, he's no Russian. He's probably Eurasian. Well, how many's mixed up in
00:35:56 this, anyhow? I don't know, but that's what we're gonna find out.
00:35:59 I'll meet you tonight at the Silver Samovar. In the meantime, try and pick up
00:36:02 the trail of that girl. Jean? Oh, son, that's mixing business with
00:36:06 pleasure. Well, is that bad? No, but...
00:36:11 [Music]
00:36:14 Hey, lady. I've been looking for you. Hello. I was looking for you. You was
00:36:27 looking for me? Yes. I wanted to ask you how you got along
00:36:31 with my drunken boyfriend last night. What makes you say he's your boyfriend?
00:36:35 Or that you're a friend of his family? Because I'm a liar.
00:36:40 I've been a liar ever since I can remember.
00:36:43 Let's see if we can get a booth before they're all taken. All right.
00:36:48 [Music]
00:36:50 [Music]
00:37:06 Hey, son. Look at what I found. Congratulations.
00:37:09 Good evening, Jean. Hello. How about answering a few questions?
00:37:14 Why don't you two big strong fellows mind your own business?
00:37:17 At the present, our business is Mr. Monk. He'll be here in a few minutes.
00:37:22 Well, I guess that lets me out. You're not afraid of meeting him?
00:37:27 Haven't you read the gossip, Collins? Jean and Jefferson have...
00:37:32 Suppose you let me give you a little advice.
00:37:35 Stay away from that man. He's stark, raving mad.
00:37:40 I'm not at all surprised. What with pretty ladies doping his drinks
00:37:44 and trying to scald him to death.
00:37:47 Hey, hadn't we better nab her? No. We have far more important work to do.
00:37:57 Okay, son. What is the program? Monk is meeting us later.
00:38:00 Tonight we're going to set a trap for the gentleman with the pegged leg.
00:38:04 Monk has agreed to be the bait again. Oh, now that's something like it.
00:38:07 You know, Doc, someone with an oriental eye for refined cruelty is trying to
00:38:12 drive Monk to suicide. Hey, you mean all that stuff about the
00:38:15 prophecy is just so much razzle-dazzle? That's the way I figure it.
00:38:19 I looked up the Monk will. There's two million dollars in the estate. The entire
00:38:23 estate is held in trust. Monk's father didn't believe in divorce.
00:38:27 Now, if Monk or his wife ever hits the Reno Trail,
00:38:31 the entire estate goes to charity. Meaning?
00:38:36 If one of the other dies or is murdered, the entire estate automatically reverts
00:38:41 to the other. But murder usually carries a penalty
00:38:46 which costs the life of the killer. Now, if Monk could be made to commit
00:38:50 suicide... Oh, hey, now a lot of things begins to make
00:38:53 sense. Well, when and where do we start at?
00:38:58 I gave Monk a whistle and told him to use it if Peg Leg shows up.
00:39:05 [footsteps]
00:39:09 [footsteps]
00:39:12 [footsteps]
00:39:37 [footsteps]
00:39:40 [whistle] What was that?
00:39:58 [whistle]
00:40:06 Wish they'd banked the corners around this block. I think we've fallen for a very old but
00:40:10 very effective trick. Somebody wanted to get us off Mr. Peg Leg's trail. Yeah, that
00:40:14 wasn't Monk at heart, that was a woman. We'd better get on back to where we're supposed to meet Mr. Monk.
00:40:18 [footsteps]
00:40:21 [footsteps]
00:40:24 [whistle]
00:40:46 Let's grab that cab, Monk must be somewhere about. Taxi.
00:40:51 Come in and share the ride. I'm the neighborly type. Hey, this is the way every taxi cab ought to be furnished.
00:41:01 Sister, you do get around. Didn't we just hear you scream a few minutes ago?
00:41:05 Possibly. Every once in a while I feel like screaming, and when I do, I just let fly.
00:41:10 You're liable to bust your pretty little neck yelling that away. Yeah, scream yourself right into jail.
00:41:15 If anything happens to Monk and the police get in... Don't take yourself so seriously.
00:41:19 What is this, a pressure group? Sorry gentlemen, three's a crowd. I hope I won't be seeing you.
00:41:25 Don't never say we didn't warn you. Cruise around the block, driver. We're looking for someone.
00:41:30 [car engine starts]
00:41:33 [music]
00:41:39 [footsteps]
00:41:42 [car engine starts]
00:41:51 [car engine revs]
00:42:08 [music]
00:42:11 [footsteps]
00:42:38 [music]
00:42:41 Who's there?
00:42:52 [grunts]
00:43:01 [grunts]
00:43:04 [music]
00:43:25 [music]
00:43:28 [gunshot]
00:43:36 [music]
00:43:39 [music]
00:43:46 [music]
00:44:12 All right. Time to wake up.
00:44:16 There now. Do you feel rested?
00:44:20 As if I'd slept 12 hours instead of two.
00:44:24 [phone buzzes]
00:44:27 You think he won't see you come here? No.
00:44:30 [phone buzzes] Excuse me.
00:44:37 [footsteps]
00:44:40 Yes, he's here. Come in, gentlemen.
00:44:46 They insisted on seeing you, Mr. Monk. We've been looking for you all night.
00:44:50 You hadn't been home all night and we were worried. We were just about to go to the police, then decided to come by here and have a chat with Dr. Hahn.
00:44:56 And here you are. Something went wrong last night. I lost you fellas.
00:45:00 Don't you think we'd better discuss this in private?
00:45:03 Oh, but of course. I'll write a prescription for Mr. Monk while you talk over these secret matters.
00:45:10 Thank you, doctor. We'll only be a minute.
00:45:13 I don't like that guy. What happened?
00:45:18 I started out to lead the man with the black bag to where you were waiting, but he fooled me.
00:45:23 He came from the opposite direction. Then I heard a woman scream.
00:45:28 And my peg-legged pursuer took to his heels. Did you follow him?
00:45:32 No, he was gone before I could think.
00:45:35 I walked the streets. For the first time in weeks, I walked alone. Unafraid.
00:45:44 When it was daylight, I came here.
00:45:47 But then you ain't seen the morning paper yet.
00:45:50 No. Your friend peg-legged had his throat cut last night.
00:45:59 Jason Anderson, known in police circles as Pop or Peg-Leg or the Face,
00:46:04 due to the numerous weird disguises he affected, was found dead at 4.20 this morning in his rooming house.
00:46:11 So, Jean is his daughter.
00:46:16 Yeah. Doc, you'd better get on over to the police station and see what other information you can pick up.
00:46:21 Okay, son.
00:46:23 Your wife is probably worried. You'd better get on home.
00:46:25 Yes, I had. I don't understand this sudden switch.
00:46:29 A murderer murdered. What do you think it means?
00:46:33 I don't know. But according to my calculations, the wrong people are getting killed.
00:46:39 Well, gentlemen, thank you for the use of the hall, Doc.
00:46:49 I've been wanting to ask you, Doctor, about drugging a man into a condition where he reacts hypnotically to suggestions he's going to die.
00:46:55 For a medical amateur, you possess a most professional curiosity, Mr. Packard.
00:46:59 Thank you, Doctor. I didn't really need to ask you that. I could have told you.
00:47:04 A man told over and over again that he's going to die finally becomes hypnotized to the idea.
00:47:10 I could also have told you that playing with a barrow can is dangerous business.
00:47:15 A man got his throat cut last night. There's no telling who will be next.
00:47:44 May I help you, sir? Yes, I'd like to see Mr. Justin Reeves. Is he in?
00:47:48 Have you an appointment? No, just say it's Jack Packard, a friend of Mrs. Jefferson Monk.
00:47:54 Tell him it's important. I'll see if Mr. Reeves is free.
00:48:11 Do you wish to see me? Mr. Reeves, yes.
00:48:14 My clerk tells me that you mentioned the name of Mrs. Monk. Yes.
00:48:17 When I saw the word "Orientalist" on your window, I half expected to see someone done up in embroidered robes and eating with chopsticks.
00:48:23 Really, Mr. Packard? Now, what can I do for you? You can help me, if you will. Mrs. Monk said you're the finest authority on the Orient in the city.
00:48:29 Mrs. Monk is very kind. Yes, isn't she?
00:48:32 You know, I've been to a dozen shops like this before I came here, but yours is the first where anyone knew Mrs. Jefferson Monk's name right off.
00:48:39 Well, that's odd. Mrs. Monk is quite a collector of Oriental art.
00:48:42 I know, but they don't seem to know her at any of the other stores.
00:48:46 She said you might be able to give me some information about a secret religious organization known as the Baruchan.
00:48:51 Oh, the Orient is full of secret religious societies. There may be a Baruchan, although I've never heard of it.
00:48:57 But then why should I, if it's a secret society? Just what I told Mrs. Monk.
00:49:03 Oh, do you play, Mr. Reeves? A little.
00:49:08 Do you recognize this?
00:49:10 Should I?
00:49:13 Jefferson Monk heard it played by a street musician in Bach-Yab.
00:49:17 Now, what do you suppose a street musician in far-off Bach-Yab was doing playing an oboe part written by Tchaikovsky?
00:49:24 What do you want? Why, I told you, Mrs. Monk... Mrs. Monk didn't tell you anything.
00:49:30 That's a rather positive statement, Mr. Reeves. One doesn't make positive statements without foundation.
00:49:36 I take it you've had occasion to talk to Mrs. Monk recently.
00:49:39 Well, you see, I... I happen to know Mrs. Monk very well. She would have told me...
00:49:44 Don't bother. It's out of my hands now anyway.
00:49:47 What do you mean?
00:49:48 The thieves have fallen out. The one called the Face got his throat cut last night. There may be others.
00:49:55 There's no Chinese proverb, "Better one more good man on earth than another angel in heaven."
00:50:01 Good day, Mr. Reeves.
00:50:03 Or should I say, Mr. Gee?
00:50:06 There's certain to be more murders and soon. We've got to act quickly.
00:50:31 Evidence points to both killings being by the same person, which bears out what you've just told me.
00:50:36 I don't know who killed Jean and Peg Leg, but I have an idea for finding out.
00:50:39 It's a long chance, but it may work. If it does, we'll have saved a couple of lives.
00:50:43 That's the business of this department. What are you suggesting?
00:50:46 That you arrest me.
00:50:47 What?
00:50:48 I'm not kidding.
00:50:50 What's new, Captain?
00:50:54 Anywhere in the killings yet?
00:50:55 I don't understand, Captain.
00:50:56 Any connection with this case?
00:50:57 We've just had our first break in the knife murders. I'm holding a man as material witness who knows the identity of the killer.
00:51:04 Who is he?
00:51:05 However, this man is standing on his constitutional rights and refuses to talk.
00:51:08 What's his angle?
00:51:09 Say that again?
00:51:10 The man who's withholding the name of the killer is Jack Packard.
00:51:13 Jack Packard?
00:51:14 Let me out of here.
00:51:15 Where's our telephone?
00:51:26 Packard, you're a nine-day wonder.
00:51:27 What are the headlines?
00:51:28 You ought to know. You made them.
00:51:30 Good.
00:51:32 You know, somewhere the killer's read one of those newspapers.
00:51:34 He thinks I know who he is.
00:51:36 Naturally, he wants to get to me before I decide to talk.
00:51:39 I want to fix it so he can get to me.
00:51:41 But you'll have to cooperate 100%.
00:51:43 What do I do?
00:51:44 Tonight at 9 o'clock, I want a few backs turned in this jail.
00:51:48 (train whistle)
00:51:50 In tune.
00:52:11 It's downright cozy.
00:52:13 All the comforts of home.
00:52:15 How'd you fix it?
00:52:16 The place belongs to Monk.
00:52:18 I had to tell him your plan to get to Bora the joint.
00:52:21 I'd like it better if no one knew.
00:52:23 Monk'll keep his mouth shut.
00:52:24 Besides, he's the only one who could fix it with a night watchman.
00:52:27 Listen.
00:52:28 I want you to send identical telegrams to Ellen Monk,
00:52:31 Reeves, Dr. Hahn, and Osgood, the nurse.
00:52:34 Tell them I'm hiding here and that I'm ready to talk business
00:52:37 after 12 o'clock tonight.
00:52:39 Okay.
00:52:42 (doorbell rings)
00:52:44 Is Monk here?
00:52:54 He hasn't left the house all day.
00:52:56 Stay shut up in that drawing room playing his violin.
00:52:59 Just in case.
00:53:00 No, no, not here.
00:53:01 I'll see you when I leave.
00:53:09 (knock on door)
00:53:11 (doorbell rings)
00:53:13 Good evening, Osgood.
00:53:29 Keep your hands off me.
00:53:31 Is everyone here?
00:53:35 Yes, we're all here now.
00:53:37 (doorbell rings)
00:53:39 I think we should drop the hostages.
00:53:45 Please!
00:53:46 If we quarrel among ourselves, everything will be lost.
00:53:50 As far as I'm concerned, everything is lost now.
00:53:54 I say it's not.
00:53:55 Don't you see the fact that Jack Packard sends each of us a telegram
00:53:58 proves that he's bluffing?
00:54:00 He doesn't know who the killer is.
00:54:02 Yes, but it also proves that Packard suspects one of us.
00:54:05 He must have a reason.
00:54:07 He hasn't any reason.
00:54:09 We're not going to stop now.
00:54:12 Not when we're within one day of two million dollars.
00:54:15 I'm more interested in knowing the someone who kills off two of our members.
00:54:20 Who gains by their death, except someone in this room.
00:54:24 Now don't look at me.
00:54:26 That's no way to get exactly...
00:54:27 Listen!
00:54:28 We'd better go. We shouldn't find us here.
00:54:32 Justin, stay.
00:54:34 The rest of you go.
00:54:36 And remember, tomorrow we go ahead as we planned.
00:54:40 What do you think they're plotting now?
00:54:51 Which one of us will be next?
00:54:53 You must be insane to talk about going ahead with this.
00:55:00 Those two detectives have seen through everything.
00:55:02 They're suspicious, but they can't prove a thing.
00:55:04 I should think you'd be as eager as I am.
00:55:06 Think what it means to both of us.
00:55:08 Now they're two less to share.
00:55:10 Who is it?
00:55:12 It's I, Ellen. May I come in?
00:55:14 Over there, behind the drapes.
00:55:16 Wait a minute, I'll press the buzzer.
00:55:23 The buzzer!
00:55:24 Oh, are you alone?
00:55:35 I thought I heard voices.
00:55:39 A man's voice.
00:55:40 I suppose a man who's scheduled to lose his head tomorrow
00:55:44 is apt to hear all sorts of things.
00:55:46 Jefferson, please.
00:55:47 I forgot.
00:55:48 It distresses you to be reminded of my fate, doesn't it, dear?
00:55:52 Forgive me.
00:55:53 I can't get it out of my head that I heard a man's voice.
00:56:01 I was thinking of that wonderful story by Balzac
00:56:07 of the man who suspected his wife's lover was hiding in her room.
00:56:11 When she denied the man was there, he asked her to swear on the Bible,
00:56:14 and she did.
00:56:15 Then he sent for a stonemason and had the closet
00:56:18 where the lover was hiding, sealed up with bricks.
00:56:22 Would you like to swear?
00:56:24 Jefferson, please don't joke about such things.
00:56:28 I didn't intend to upset you.
00:56:32 Good night.
00:56:35 It would have been quite dramatic if you had sworn, wouldn't it?
00:56:47 I'm sorry.
00:56:48 I tell you, Packard put him on to us.
00:57:00 How could he when he doesn't even know himself?
00:57:02 But what he doesn't know, he's guessed, and that's enough for me.
00:57:05 Besides, there's Pop Anderson and Jean.
00:57:07 I don't know who killed them,
00:57:09 but I'm not taking any chance on being next.
00:57:11 I'm getting out.
00:57:12 You can't, Justin. You can't.
00:57:14 You got me into this. You've got to stand by me now.
00:57:17 I'm sorry, Ellen. I know when I've lost.
00:57:21 Goodbye.
00:57:23 Justin!
00:57:24 Wait.
00:57:31 Wait.
00:57:33 [dog barking]
00:57:35 [dog barking]
00:57:37 [dog barking]
00:57:39 [dog barking]
00:58:08 Oh, my God.
00:58:09 [gunshot]
00:58:10 [horse neighing]
00:58:13 [horse neighing]
00:58:16 [dog barking]
00:58:18 Who is it?
00:58:44 [music]
00:58:46 Diana.
00:59:00 You're standing.
00:59:02 What a miraculous recovery.
00:59:07 I heard a cry outside.
00:59:12 Jefferson, please may I have my chair?
00:59:14 Why?
00:59:19 You don't need it anymore.
00:59:21 In fact, you never did need it, did you?
00:59:24 How you must have hated me.
00:59:40 Resorting to such cruelty.
00:59:42 Driving me to insanity or suicide.
00:59:45 It's not true.
00:59:47 I'm going to let you suffer the way you let me suffer.
00:59:50 I want you to feel a cold breath of fear as I felt it.
00:59:53 Day after day, night after night, until your nerves scream as mine screamed.
00:59:58 I want you to taste your refined cruelty down to the last bitter drop.
01:00:04 You're mad.
01:00:08 You're mad.
01:00:09 When I found out what you were trying to do to me,
01:00:15 my fear became courage.
01:00:17 The courage to kill all of you.
01:00:20 Justin Reeves is outside there, dead.
01:00:25 His throat.
01:00:27 His throat.
01:00:30 Then you're the killer.
01:00:37 Yes.
01:00:38 Okay, reach.
01:00:57 What are you doing here?
01:01:00 You startled me. I was looking for you.
01:01:03 What's the matter?
01:01:04 There's been a change of plan.
01:01:06 Jason surrounded the killer out on Cloverdale Road.
01:01:08 Oh, that's what all them signs was about.
01:01:11 Well, I better go tell Jack.
01:01:13 Okay.
01:01:15 [footsteps]
01:01:18 [door slams]
01:01:19 [car engine]
01:01:46 [car engine]
01:01:47 Stay as you are, please.
01:02:05 I'll have to borrow your gun.
01:02:10 I like to hold all the trumps.
01:02:15 So you're the gentleman who's so handy with a knife.
01:02:17 I should have known.
01:02:19 Don't apologize, Mr. Packard.
01:02:20 When your friend asked to borrow the warehouse,
01:02:23 I gathered there was an elaborate ruse to smoke out the killer.
01:02:26 If you knew I didn't suspect you, why did you come here and expose yourself?
01:02:29 Because I knew that if you didn't suspect me now,
01:02:32 it was only a matter of time until you did.
01:02:34 You see how I respect your detecting ability.
01:02:37 So I said to myself,
01:02:39 "Why wait?
01:02:41 Mr. Packard must be killed."
01:02:44 Step over there, please.
01:02:45 The light's better,
01:02:49 and I'd feel a little more comfortable with a piano between us.
01:02:52 [knife clatters]
01:02:55 You're not going to get away with this.
01:02:56 The neighborhood is alive with policemen.
01:02:59 [piano music]
01:03:01 No, Mr. Packard.
01:03:02 They've all gone.
01:03:03 Someone told the police about another knife killing.
01:03:06 Out near my home.
01:03:08 Who was it this time?
01:03:11 He called himself an Orientalist.
01:03:13 He also called himself Mr. G.
01:03:17 Yes, it was Mr. G.
01:03:19 But as Mr. Reeves, he and I had never met.
01:03:22 That is, until tonight.
01:03:24 I...
01:03:26 I suppose you're going to kill them all.
01:03:29 Your wife included.
01:03:31 Yes.
01:03:33 After a while,
01:03:35 my wife too.
01:03:37 What are you waiting for?
01:03:40 Come on, get the killing over with.
01:03:42 I want to appease my curiosity.
01:03:44 I understand your deductions about the music,
01:03:48 but how did you come to suspect my wife?
01:03:50 Your portrait on the miniature.
01:03:53 Why?
01:03:55 Your wife had someone copy your photograph on ivory.
01:03:58 I knew from your description it was neither old nor Oriental.
01:04:01 The ancients did not use lights and shadows.
01:04:04 Chiaroscuro, as we do.
01:04:08 Then when I saw the footprint on your wife's window sill...
01:04:11 What a mind you have.
01:04:13 It's a pity, Mr. Packard, to stop it from working forever.
01:04:16 Really a pity.
01:04:18 For the first time, we're in complete agreement.
01:04:23 Tell me,
01:04:25 how did you arrive at the same conclusions I did?
01:04:27 I went to Dr. Hahn and offered him more than the others were giving him.
01:04:31 He told me everything.
01:04:36 The bribery didn't happen to me.
01:04:38 None of them realized they were giving me the opportunity for the perfect murder.
01:04:42 The murder without suspicion.
01:04:44 Really?
01:04:47 So you see, Mr. Packard,
01:04:50 why you too must be killed.
01:04:52 Are you ready?
01:04:54 Ready?
01:04:56 Here!

01:06:16 (Gun clatters)
01:06:18 Mr. Mark. Fancy meeting you here.
01:06:22 (Horn honking)
01:06:24 (Horn honking)
01:06:26 I have your partner, Mr. Packard.
01:06:29 Are you coming out?
01:06:31 Or shall I kill him with your gun?
01:06:35 Don't do it, Jack. He's got to shoot me anyhow.
01:06:37 I'll count three.
01:06:39 One...
01:06:41 Two...
01:06:44 Stay where you're at, Jack.
01:06:46 Three!
01:06:48 (Grunts)
01:06:58 (Grunts)
01:06:59 Very close.
01:07:08 Yeah, he won't go far. In a few minutes, every cop in town will be looking for him.
01:07:12 (Tires screeching)
01:07:14 Oh, how horrible.
01:07:22 Take me away. I can't look.
01:07:24 His head!
01:07:27 This must have happened when he was thrown through the windshield.
01:07:29 Money, money.
01:07:41 All the world is made for money.
01:07:43 Except Mrs. Monk and her friends.
01:07:45 Those guys are the state. They won't need any.
01:07:48 Doggone.
01:07:50 What started out to be a real honest-to-goodness mystery just boils itself down to being as simple as ABC.
01:07:56 Maybe.
01:07:57 But there's one note of mystery that's not been explained.
01:08:00 What happened to Jefferson Monk's head?
01:08:03 Hey, you mean the prophecy?
01:08:06 Maybe there was something after all?
01:08:08 Who can say?
01:08:10 The temple bells of Far-Shan-Si toll at dawn and at dusk.
