01:00No, that's far too easy for him put him on his feet
01:13Your name
01:18John Dorsey from Lonaville. I'm a schoolteacher
01:23Schoolteacher
01:26Next field, what is it you suppose he teaches?
01:32Disobedience aversion. Oh very good next field
01:36Yes, I think so
01:38teachers and practices
01:41Pardon me, sir, but you're making a terrible mistake
01:45The mistakes are all yours
01:47First to come into my province an even bigger mistake to steal a military truck
01:56loaded with gold bullion
01:58Now, where is it?
02:01Bullion sir, I
02:04Don't know what you're talking about. We'll see
02:15What do you think
02:17There's no doubt about it, that's him
02:21That's guitar
02:39Here they're looking for an electrician the production manager will be in at three
02:43How long you been in town three weeks
03:14Good morning, Jim
03:15This is John Darcy codename Kitara
03:19leader of a liberation movement in the African nation of Bokomo
03:24Which for over a century has been ruled by a colonial minority
03:29practicing severe racial segregation
03:32Darcy has been captured by Colonel Alex Kohler a provincial governor and a ruthless tyrant
03:39If Kohler succeeds in torturing Darcy into revealing his true identity
03:44The liberation movement deprived of leadership and inspiration will be destroyed
03:50Your mission should you choose to accept it is to free Darcy and end Kohler's tyranny as
03:57Always if you or any member of your I am forces caught or killed
04:02The secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim
04:08I
04:38Do
05:09You
05:29You're shaking my confidence Barney I thought I was pretty good with codes
05:34It's why Healy so don't feel so bad
05:37The point is that Darcy will recognize it you'll know that whoever is using it is trying to help him
05:43But he doesn't know is that he's a vital part of our plan
05:46If we're going to get Kohler Darcy has to tell us where the stolen bullion is hidden
05:51When did Darcy hijack the bullion Jim two days ago from a military truck?
05:56He was going to use the money for propaganda and medicine
06:00As you check out with the magazine Dana, yes, I had lunch with Alice Duncan today
06:05She's had an interview lined up with Kohler for weeks. She was only too glad to cooperate
06:11According to my research
06:13Kohler was in an orphanage by the time he was five. He really can't have much recollection of his early childhood
06:19We're counting on it
06:21Bloodworth's antiques and memorabilia is almost ready Jim. It's gonna be quite a shop
06:27Good
06:28And we'll be hooked into their military teletype system by tomorrow, it's a Kohler will be expecting Doug and me
06:36Colonel Kohler
06:38It's fastidious to the point of being neurotic. We're gonna make that work for us
06:45Barney
06:50This is an ultraviolet sterilizer like the one in Kohler's bathroom ceiling
06:58This is the bulb I'll be substituting for Kohler's
07:29Now
07:31These pills give human skin the same susceptibility as a paper
07:36Take the pill expose yourself to Barney's lamp, and that's what happens
07:40How many exposures are required?
07:43Just one Dana
07:45The effect is pretty dramatic one exposure the lamp at night and he'll be black by morning
07:51How long can Darcy hold out without revealing his identity Jim? No, he won't talk Paris
07:57But with what they're doing to him if we don't get him in 72 hours, he'll be dead
08:01I
08:32Well Kitara, how are you feeling today? Why are you keeping me? I
08:40Must tell you it's cooler in the cells and we have ample supply of drinking water
08:44And if you prefer I can move you to a regular cell I have done
08:49nothing wrong I
08:52Want to be set free
08:55I
09:00Perhaps even that could be arranged. All you have to do is to confess your identity
09:09Confess
09:16And that gold bullion that you hijacked
09:19Hmm
09:22Even that might buy you a little relief. I I don't know anything
09:31About any gold
09:37You will not get anything out of him if he is dead
09:40So
09:46I would like to present colonel Samuels and dr. Reddick colonel Cola
09:52Gentlemen forgive me if I'm less than elated to see you here
09:56General Vandiver's teletype said you are coming to authenticate the identity of my prisoner
10:02Now the general thinks I'm not capable of doing that for myself
10:06Please don't be offended colonel. We are very pleased with what you are doing
10:11However, before we declare a national holiday, we wish to be sure you have the right man. I have the right man
10:19Yes, Colonel, and he will tell you so himself very soon
10:36This man is almost dead from heat exhaustion, I suggest you move him indoors immediately
10:45Doctor I suggest you mind your own affairs keeping this man alive is my affair
10:52Getting a confession is mine
10:54I've had hundred men out here like this and they do not die doctor. They talk
11:02Put him back inside
11:05I
11:12General Vandiver is jealous
11:18Guitar has been making idiots of you people fools
11:23Agitation subversion and after two years, what have you not a picture not even a fingerprint and he comes to my little
11:31Backwoods province and day after he hijacks her truck. I have him on the lock and key. I
11:39Am well aware colonel. There are people in the capital who tried to block my appointment of general
11:46They won't succeed
11:49Gentlemen tea my estate this afternoon half-past four and pleased to be prompt
11:57A
12:00Arrogant this colonel
12:02He's ambitious to be a general and yet he cannot even tell us where a stolen shipment of gold bullion is hidden
12:13Is he always this unbending
12:15But he strikes me as being an obsessive compulsive
12:20under tremendous strain
12:22Surely you are not here to psychoanalyze the colonel. Dr. Reddick is an expert on racial matters
12:30Racial matters
12:32Among other things, you know doctor it occurs to me. The colonel might want Darcy to die
12:39You can't get a confession from a dead man. That way he would make any announcement he wished
12:48Yes, colonel I
12:50See what you mean
13:18And that's me
13:20Little Alex five years old, I think at the time and my grandfather, of course who raised me from infancy
13:29One of our pioneers I have really only the vaguest recollection of him, but he must have been a brave old man and
13:38Died, you know the following winter
13:40Leaving us my inheritance only this photograph and little Alex in an impoverished orphanage
13:47But the story is a happy ending miss Duncan
13:50I was given an education without cost by my country and every privilege and opportunity of a rich child a
13:58Commission a rapid advance through the ranks and then a provincial military governorship and doesn't stop there
14:06Before you leave you may have a real story in this Duncan
14:10you see there is a
14:13Vacancy and the general staff in the capital and soon as I prove to them that I have captured Kitara
14:18I will have that appointment
14:22You take sugar in your tea
14:48I
15:08Sir colonel Samos captain retic and captain Maxfield are here
15:12Very
15:16Good hard. Thank you gentlemen a great pleasure to see you. Thank you for coming nice of you to receive us
15:22This is an interesting house you have
15:36If I had my way foreign journalists would not be allowed
15:40Well, miss Duncan doesn't really approve of us, but she has promised to keep an open mind
15:48I'm curious about your title. Dr. Reddick
15:52Exactly. What does a racial affairs expert do? It is my job to ferret out individuals who try
15:59illegally to cross racial lines
16:01You mean blacks who try to pass for white?
16:05exactly
16:06And you know mr. Can you be surprised how many of them there are yes
16:12sometimes men in very high places
16:36I
17:06I
17:33Tell her about the incident that James fell doctor Reddick
17:36It's a man passion for most of his life is a white merchant
17:42At 60 he contracted a rare disease
17:45Lamposa hychondra
17:48Triggered some atavistic response in within hours. He was revealed for exactly what he was
17:55What happened to him
17:58Property confiscated divorce
18:01Yes, and in a case like that the children naturally would be reclassified
18:07It's a charming society you have here
18:10The more I hear the more I think I will not limit myself to a single article book
18:16History would be more in order
18:36I
19:06I
19:13Caught him sir. I heard him and I caught him. All right. All right. Thank you Han
19:19What are you doing here I was ordered here ordered by whom by my stomach
19:26What were you looking for? There's no money in there
19:33Take this one away
19:36You
19:44How about some food huh once a day here in the morning you are very generous
20:06I
20:36I
21:06I
21:36I
22:07Hey, what is this man breakfast I
22:12Wouldn't let you eat this it is all you will get enjoy it. Okay. I'll enjoy it
22:36I
23:06I
23:37Let this see I will enjoy that I
23:44Think it'd be very good today for teaching manners
24:06I
24:36I
24:38I
24:40I
25:04Where is he?
25:05Is your colonel always this slovenly about keeping his appointments? Oh, sir, it's usually extremely punctual
25:11I see. Well, we can't wait any longer have the prisoner Darcy brought in. I'm sorry, sir. I cannot do that. What?
25:17The colonel gave me explicit orders. No one is to see Darcy unless he is present
25:21I cannot consider this anything but a direct obstruction of my work
25:29Undoubtedly the colonel had his reasons
25:35Oh
25:39Yes
25:41Horn sir, your door is locked. Yes. I know it's locked. What do you want? I miss Duncan is here
25:47I'll tell her I can't see her but just tell her that
25:54Two years ago when the colonel's wife was killed was she expecting a child
25:59Yes, she was a tragic accident, oh then you think it was an accident
26:05Yes, sir. The colonel investigated it himself
26:09Ah, the colonel investigated it himself. What do you think of that doctor?
26:14naturally
26:16The child had it survived might have proved quite interesting
26:21Is the report still available? Yes, sir. It is. I
26:25Do not understand. What is it?
26:28I do not understand
26:31You will captain when the time comes you will
26:47I'll be captain Maxfield
26:57I am sorry. Miss Duncan, but the colonel cannot see you now. Oh
27:02Is something wrong? I?
27:04Am sorry, miss Duncan. Very well. Tell the colonel. I'll call him later in the day
27:13Yes, I put the doctor on excuse me doctor
27:20Colonel Cola good morning colonel. I asked to speak to the doctor. I'm not feeling well
27:27I'm sorry, nothing serious. I hope
27:32Then you will not mind if dr. Reddick examines the prisoner before he comes to you
27:37Well colonel, I don't think that that's necessary
27:43First we must have his confession
27:45Secondly, we must find out what happened to the stolen bullion. You realize what deliberation movement could do with that gold
27:52Very well colonel put on captain Maxfield again, please
27:58Yes, colonel
28:00Maxfield the doctor may examine the prisoner but under no circumstances will he be removed from the compound?
28:07Yes, sir
28:13His body fluids are badly depleted
28:28Slowly now slowly
28:37Don't talk just listen
28:42I'm going to leave this with you
28:45Drink a bit
28:47Let a little time go by
28:50Then drink a bit more
28:52You understand I cannot allow that
28:57Captain Maxfield if this man dies, I will not only hold colonel Cola responsible. I will hold you responsible
29:07All right put him inside
29:27I
29:57Do
30:23This accident report the death of the Colonel's wife
30:28informative
30:29Yet the stairs in the colonel's house did not appear to me to be very dangerous. They are carpeted
30:35Oh, they were not carpeted and one of the risers was loose
30:42Tell me captain have you ever known Colonel Cola when his head was not shaved
30:47No, I have not now that you mention it and he never lets his hair grow
30:53No, sir
30:55Have you ever asked him why he does not
30:58Well, I imagined for appearance sake
31:01Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
31:04Well, perhaps she is trying to hide something
31:07hide
31:09You and dr. Eric
31:12There are strange innuendos between you regarding the colonel. I have watched them now for two days. I
31:18Should like to know what they mean. Please bear with me captain. I wish to go over this report again
31:25As you wish sir
31:55You
32:06All right come out of there
32:17What is your name Raymond told one your full name
32:25Raymond II told them
32:30You have to give me something some medicine but we do not know what is wrong with you
32:36Some drug doctor I can't be seen like this I can't perform my duties
32:42Something to make the the skin lighter
32:45Colonel
32:47Surely, you know such drugs are highly illegal. I don't mean that. I mean I meant I will stop by later
32:55I
32:58Don't know one thing you might do. Mm-hmm. Take a hot bath a long hot bath. Hmm
33:06What is your full name?
33:08Raymond II told man
33:12He that's an s
33:16Where you or were you not talking to the prisoner known as Darcy I

34:00Sugano that's a
34:01Deserted native village about four kilometers north of here was there more?
34:05No, no after a live human being Barney shook his head to indicate that was it and Barney's back in the hotbox again
34:12Yes, Max field is assigned around-the-clock guards to the compound
34:16There's a composite ready Paris. Yeah right here Jim
34:24We superimpose Kohler's picture on this shot of the Gunther house up country
34:30Mm-hmm good
34:33You know
34:36Well, if the gold's in Sugano I'd better try to find it
34:42See you later

34:50I
34:52I
34:54I
34:56I
35:17Am very sorry miss Duncan will not be possible today
35:23Antiques historical items
35:26I came across a picture of the old Gunther house. I
35:30Think you should see it. Now. What is the Gunther house to do with me?
35:35well, you're in the picture colonel and
35:38something else
35:40Believe me. This is for your own good
35:47All right
35:56I
36:26Oh
36:51Miss Duncan the colonel is waiting for you in there. Thank you
36:57Oh
37:04Colonel Oh
37:06Miss Duncan. Yes, forgive that. I don't have the light on
37:10I'm having some difficulty with my eyes the tropical Sun and the doctor wants me to arrest them. I hope you're not in any pain
37:18Thank you. No that photograph that you mentioned
37:22Yes right here
37:24Uh, will you please put it on my desk? Oh
37:33Do me a favor mr. Angle way to close the door
37:35I
37:53Did you get this I told you
37:57Bloodworth's I
38:00Don't know that place
38:03It's on the other side of town
38:10How dare you
38:14Please listen to me. I knew you were in trouble
38:23How I hate that man
38:25He he talked to me about you. He he said that I would get a better story than I had bargained for that
38:32It was a throwback
38:34triggered by disease
38:36No
38:38No, that can't be
38:40like that man in Jamesville
38:43and then I
38:44Found this picture some kind of practical joke that picture some cheap
38:50practical joke
38:54I'm afraid not. Who did you show that to? No one?
38:59Why do you bring it here to me because I sensed you were in trouble
39:05Please Colonel I want to help you
39:15Take me to this bloodworth
39:29Good
39:41Evening miss Duncan. I was just about to close but you will stay for a moment. Yes
39:49Yes, I suppose so the photograph that you sold to miss Duncan the Gunter estate. Oh
39:57Yes, what about it
40:01This man here who was sitting in the foreground I told my friend you might be able to identify him
40:07Yes, I might be able to help you
40:10I've done quite a bit of research on these old estates
40:20Yes
40:23Joshua Mankoia
40:26Mankoia
40:27Yes
40:29The thing that distinguished him at the time was literacy
40:34He was the only black in the province who could read and write. He was a number one boy
40:40Overseer for the Gunthers the child that he is holding
40:44Whose child is that?
40:46the child of his own child
40:49his grandson
40:52The child is white it's impossible
40:56You know better than that a lot can happen in two generations
41:05On this estate then there was a white man who resembled this man coil
41:16How can potatoes resemble apples
41:22Now what would you say if I tell you I have a photograph I have an enlargement and
41:29The man is identical. He is holding the child is wearing even the same clothes, but this white
41:34I would have to say that you're mistaken
41:41Show it to him
41:51Oh
42:02It's it's only that I have seen this sort of thing before
42:07you see I
42:09Am 1 16th part black and I know all the tricks
42:16Tricks
42:18May I
42:48I
43:18I
43:34Don't understand
43:48I
44:09See
44:12Come now it can't be that much of a shock you must have known
44:18I
44:20Come brother
44:23It's not the end of the world
44:41It's a semi-hypnotic
44:43It'll make him far more suggestible while he's out
44:45It can be a post-hypnotic carry over after he's awake
45:16You
45:29Can see he took the picture with him
45:33There did you see this place was Bloodworth she said the other side of town I
45:38Tell you he's turning
45:40Nonsense then why do you think he secluded himself all day? I tell you I saw it with my own eyes
45:56When his wife was killed three years ago were you in the house? No one was here they were alone
46:10I
46:12Can't Bloodworth across town
46:34Thanks
46:40Thanks
46:44Come to me boy
46:48Come to me Alex
46:54It's grandfather

47:21Nobody ever know
47:26Ticket it's your freedom boy. I
47:32Made arrangements
47:36You'll be in the orphanage
47:41Never look back

47:50Remember all the days of your life
47:55Grandfather
47:58Grandfather
47:59Did you wait?
48:10I
48:40I
48:42I
49:07Said Paris, yeah fine. I'll take it from here
49:13I
49:23What you fainted
49:42I
50:00Would not have believed it
50:03You've deceived us for years, but now it's over
50:09You're under arrest
50:12Gentlemen
50:15Please don't move
50:22We're leaving so
50:36I beg you gentlemen. Don't move
50:42You
50:45Get in the Jeep
50:57They are they going
50:59Somewhere we can hide
51:01Why are you helping me because we're brothers?
51:13This more than anything should demonstrate the stupidity of your racial policies what difference does his color make he was your commander
51:25Dr. Reddick at Colonel chorus house worries in West Cora he escaped
51:30We will soon have him
51:32Evidently Providence has been our ally in this business captain a disease proving what we have been trying to prove for two years
51:39You know two years ago
51:41We suspected his wife had contacted intelligence before she saw mysteriously died. She was uneasy. Perhaps he had made a slip something
51:50At any rate you will assume his command
51:54Thank you, sir. Now the next step is to take you Tara, but we have him
51:58No, you only think you have him and I have some information from sources in the native quarter that may surprise you
52:05Come
52:09I
52:15Stand there I'll hide the jeep
52:39I'm
52:49Captain
52:52Inside by inside he must have had a reason for being in there the gold perhaps
53:09I
53:28Look
53:39I
54:09I
54:22They were right
54:24But on a guitar knew where the gold was hidden
54:27That's what I've been trying to tell you captain. Why do you think guitar has been so hard to capture?
54:33Who would have thought to look for him beneath the uniform of one of our own officers?
54:38Let me go
54:47Let me go all right, let me go let me go I will suck for this
55:01Guitar
55:09You
55:13Tell captain Maxfield we will return the prisoners as soon as we have finished interrogating them. That's general
55:22How long will Kohler stay black about a week after which both he and Maxfield will probably turn very red
55:39General Samos
55:43Yes, captain I just received a teletype you'll take the gold back to the capital with you
55:50Very well, but hurry it up, please
56:08You
56:38I
57:08You
