FunTranscript
00:00The final resting place of Jed Maatisak, buried along the west bank of the Nile over 2,800
00:08years ago.
00:09Now, over here.
00:10Thank you so much for accompanying me.
00:14Thomas is playing golf with city council.
00:16Golf?
00:17I've been told the chief constable abhors the game.
00:20Oh, he does.
00:21But it's better to be on the inner circle of the council than to be on the outside looking
00:25in.
00:27Look, that's Mr. Oliphant.
00:30He's a Broadway producer, and that's Rosemary Kirby.
00:35She's the heiress to the Cyclone Carpet Sweeper fortune.
00:39It's a marvelous device.
00:41Mechanical gadgets are a slippery slope, Mrs. Brackenreid.
00:44First, the machines work for us, but soon we'll be serving the machines, if we're not
00:49already.
00:51What are you on about?
00:53Oh, take the telephone.
00:54We sit by it, wait for it.
00:56We rush to it when it calls.
00:58Are we not slaves to its power?
01:00Are we not shackled?
01:01Oh, shush.
01:02He's speaking.
01:03That is why I have secured promises from the governments of Ontario, Canada, and Great
01:08Britain to establish a new home for Canada's finest artifacts.
01:13Soon, crowds from across the country will flock to see world-class exhibits of archaeology,
01:18geology, mineralogy, paleontology, and zoology all under one roof.
01:27Oh, my.
01:28What a wonderful fur.
01:31I wouldn't touch that.
01:32Who knows what manner of mites call it home.
01:34But we need your help.
01:36This weekend, we are hosting a fundraiser.
01:39Thank you to Mrs. Margaret Brackenreid and the lady's auxiliary for planning the gala.
01:45As our most distinguished patrons, we offer you the first opportunity to be a part of
01:50the finest institution in Canada, the Royal Ontario Museum.
01:57Now, what do you have in store beyond the current collection?
02:00Oh, a manner of artifacts.
02:02But our newest and greatest treasure surely is the Star of Mandalay, the largest ruby
02:10in the world.
02:11Oh, my.
02:12Can you see it?
02:14It will be delivered later today, but it shall not be unveiled until the gala.
02:19Now, I have one last wonder to show you, if you will follow me.
02:27This is the Bergner Annunciator, a state-of-the-art silent alarm.
02:33If a sensor is tripped at the museum, an automated call will be placed to the constabulary,
02:39advising us of the break-in and of its precise point of ingress.
02:43This telephone will then ring, and this light will blink red, and the thief will be none the wiser.
02:51Had this existed when I was working in New York, some of the biggest bank robberies in
02:55history might have been formed.
02:58Nothing before its time, Inspector.
03:13Oh, God.
03:43Oh, my God.
04:14I interviewed the guard.
04:16He's still a bit woozy.
04:18Did he get a look at the intruder?
04:20Unfortunately not.
04:22Well, we've confirmed that the Annunciator was fully functional at the station house.
04:26What's more, the intruder had the combination to the vault.
04:31Curious conundrum.
04:33We'll have to check all of the sensors here to ensure that they're working properly.
04:37The Star of Mandalay, it was supposed to be right here in the vault, and now it's gone.
04:43This is an indelible stain upon my reputation.
04:45Mr. Chaney!
04:47There's no need to worry.
04:48An error in transit forms delayed the delivery of the ruby.
04:51It will be arriving later today.
04:53Thank God for small miracles.
04:55Who might you be?
04:56Dr. Elise Tremblay.
04:58This is my department.
05:00Detective William Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary.
05:02Detective Watts.
05:03So, has anything been stolen?
05:06I don't believe so.
05:08I'll check with the other departments.
05:10Perhaps you could show us where the intruder entered the building.
05:14Only a philistine would attempt a theft such as this.
05:19A very clever philistine.
05:21The intruder used a diamond-tipped glass cutter.
05:25What's more, this window is the closest to the junction box of the system's electrical circuit.
05:32Meaning?
05:33Meaning the intruder knew precisely where to enter the building in order to turn off the alarm fastest.
05:41Who would have access to that information?
05:43The only copy of the enunciator's schematics are here, with the university.
05:48Oh, my starves.
05:49Then the thief must be someone working at the university.
05:52It's an inside job.
05:56Marx wrote extensively about this, replacing workers with machines.
06:00The revolution comes in many forms.
06:02And then, one day, there'll be no need for us.
06:05Let it rest, detective.
06:08The museum founders have been calling all day.
06:10I'm beginning to develop a migraine headache, and you are not helping.
06:15Sir?
06:17The enunciator works as intended.
06:21The perpetrator disabled the alarm at the junction box.
06:24How could he have managed that?
06:26Mr. Chaney has a copy of the enunciator's schematics in his office.
06:31Do you think he was involved?
06:33Apparently, they were not kept under lock and key, as I instructed.
06:38So, whoever is responsible had intimate knowledge of the enunciator's system.
06:47Sounds like an inside job.
06:49Well, sir, Mr. Chaney is still speaking with other members of the department.
06:53But, apparently, nothing's been stolen.
06:57The crook went through all the trouble of breaking in, but left empty-handed.
07:01I find that hard to believe.
07:03Perhaps the ruby was the only intended target.
07:06It was scheduled to arrive yesterday, but then was delayed.
07:09The ruby?
07:11The Star of Mandalay.
07:14A very large Burmese ruby, on loan from the Crown.
07:18Detective, I want you and a small team of constables to oversee the delivery of the ruby,
07:23and ensure its safety ahead of the gala.
07:25Yes, sir.
07:27There.
07:38There. Headache averted.
07:51You yourself have said treasure hunters are thieves.
07:54The British separated this jewel from its country of origin,
07:57and now they house it in a vault to prevent others from separating it from them.
08:03Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
08:07I really don't think that it's irony.
08:10However it arrived here, it is nevertheless our duty to ensure it does not get stolen.
08:17You're certain that the combination has been changed?
08:21Sir, if it were to be stolen, exactly how much would a ruby like this be worth?
08:26The Star of Mandalay? A one-of-a-kind gem on loan from the British Crown?
08:33Priceless.
08:34Explains why we're getting overtime.
08:36I don't believe overtime pay is involved.
08:40You see, now that might be irony.
08:46You just can't shake the feeling that we're being watched by someone.
08:49We've made the necessary repairs to the Annunciator,
08:52and all university personnel have been escorted out of the building.
08:55Who could be watching us?
08:57Never ignore a gut feeling, sir.
08:59Might be an idea from time to time, Henry.
09:02Right. Detective Watts and I will check all of the other rooms to ensure the system is working properly.
09:07You keep an eye out.
09:08Oh, and Henry.
09:09Yes, sir?
09:10Don't touch anything.
09:13Yes, sir.
09:20Hello there.
09:27Oh, yes.
09:35The break-in may have a simpler solution than we realize, Detective.
09:38Is that so?
09:39The British invaded Burma in 1885 and deposed a king.
09:44Things grew frosty between the nations after British dignitaries refused to remove their shoes in the presence of the monarch.
10:00The king, pregnant wife, and children had mere hours to escape the palace,
10:04taking only what they could carry in their arms.
10:09Watts.
10:10Watts.
10:14You seem well-versed in all of this.
10:16Well, I had dinner with Leopold Hudson when he was last in town.
10:20He knows Cheney from a dig in Egypt.
10:22Which brings me to my theory as to the identity of our thief.
10:26Have we considered the king's descendants?
10:28Perhaps a disgruntled heir is looking to right this wrong?
10:41Watts?
10:42Hmm?
10:43Take a look at this.
10:50When I was here yesterday with Mrs. Brackenreed, this pelt was on display in the Great Hall.
10:56It appears to have been rolled up and fashioned into a sleeping pillow of some sort.
11:02Professors do tend to work long hours.
11:04Hmm.
11:10Hmm.
11:26Is anyone there?
11:28Henry!
11:35Henry!
11:39Is it possible there's a draft?
11:41With all of the exterior windows and doors locked, I think not.
11:49Henry?
11:51Someone has locked us in.
11:59If someone has broken in, the constabulary must have been alerted by the Annunciator.
12:05We should be here soon.
12:08That works, too.
12:21Henry! Henry! What's all this smoke coming from?
12:23Sir, I was patrolling the hall, minding my own business.
12:26Touching nothing, sir, is ordered.
12:28When smoke started billowing out of the sarcophagus, and then a mummy came to life.
12:33A mummy came to life?
12:35Yes, that's what I said.
12:36Henry, it's impossible.
12:38Well, someone was in there!
12:40It's a homemade smoke bomb. Potassium, nitrate, and sugar.
12:45If it wasn't a mummy that you saw, Henry, the thief was hiding inside the sarcophagus.
12:50The vault doesn't appear to have been breached.
13:01Who's that?
13:03Yes, it is.
13:05The thief was going to blow the vault open.
13:10I don't see any sign of him.
13:12At least you didn't get the ruby, sir.
13:14I don't see any sign of him.
13:16At least you didn't get the ruby, sir.
13:19Right. But we didn't get him, either.
13:24The explosive was made using a solution called nitro starch.
13:28It would be more than enough to crack the seal.
13:31If our man is this insistent on stealing a ruby of such renown, he must already have a fence lined up.
13:37I'll put in some calls to New York City.
13:39Good point. I'll have constables look into known fences here in Toronto.
13:45What happened to your hand?
13:47It's a bruise I got in my fight with the mummy last night.
13:50It doesn't look like any bruise I've seen.
13:55Detective? Constable?
13:57Miss Hart, could you take a look at Henry's hand?
14:01I could, but I'm no doctor.
14:04If he were dead, you'd be able to figure out what it is?
14:07If he were dead, you'd be able to figure out what it is?
14:14I can't be completely sure, but it looks like contact dermatitis.
14:26Is it contagious?
14:28To properly help, I'll need to know what caused it.
14:31Have you been in contact with anything unusual lately?
14:37We've looked into known fences in the area. Nobody fits the bill.
14:40But the Hamilton Constabulary has questioned one woman regarding a number of armed robberies.
14:46Sirs?
14:47Thank you, Roberts.
14:48Very good, thank you.
14:50Little Wolfie Mandelbaum. Pickpocket extraordinaire.
14:54Daughter of Mar Mandelbaum, notorious New York fence and bank heist financier.
14:59You know these women?
15:01I've arrested everyone in the family twice in every borough. I'd say so, yes.
15:06The daughter doesn't appear to have any official arrests here in Canada.
15:10Is it possible she's cleaned up her act?
15:12Not likely. Let's bring her in.
15:29Wolfie Mandelbaum.
15:30Detective William Murdoch.
15:32Charmed.
15:36Albert. All this time apart, and this is how you call after me?
15:42It's been 15 years, and it's Inspector Choi to you. Detective?
15:48We're investigating the attempted theft of the world's largest ruby, the Star of Mandalay.
15:54Sounds like quite the undertaking.
15:56How exactly do I fit into this?
15:59We have reason to believe that you are involved.
16:02Albert, really? What is this?
16:05I thought you believed in the rehabilitative nature of the New York state prison system.
16:10Can't a person change?
16:13Miss Mandelbaum, we know that someone of your stature would at the very least have knowledge of the break-in.
16:22So if you weren't directly involved, it would behoove you to help us.
16:27I own and operate a humble fruit market.
16:29I'm afraid I no longer associate with that sort.
16:32Is that so?
16:34Our constables have done some digging, and while your record in Canada may be spotless,
16:39my informant tells me you're running a crook college of sorts.
16:44Apparently you are training and financing a female crew of pickpockets, confidence women, and con artists.
16:54You're a science lander. You'll never hold up in court.
16:58Wolfie Mandelbaum, you'll tell us what you know right now, or I'll sit you in a cell so quickly you'll pass yourself going.
17:08Nothing comes free in this world.
17:10If I were to tell you what I've heard, naturally, I would need something in return.
17:15What might that be?
17:16I hear there's a gala occurring at the university.
17:20I hear there's a gala occurring at the university.
17:22Everybody who's anybody will be attending.
17:24Absolutely not.
17:26Don't behave like that. I'm a pussycat, just a sucker for these kinds of affairs.
17:35Sir, she may be our best chance at catching the thief.
17:41Fine, but you won't leave my side.
17:44Splendid.
17:45Now, I don't know for certain,
17:48but I hear tell the Panther has set up shop at a warehouse on Richmond.
17:52Auf Spadina.
17:53The Panther? The master thief? I heard he was dead.
17:57Oh, that's because coppers like you are meant to think that.
18:00Makes it easier for a body to move around unfettered.
18:04How can we trust that you aren't the fence?
18:09A long life in crimes is measured in small steps, not spectacular leaps.
18:15The juice simply isn't worth a squeeze, detective.
18:21Albert, you can pick me up for the gala at five.
18:25Try not to be tardy.
18:27I hate to be kept waiting.
18:31Ciao.
18:34Albert.
18:44It would appear this Panther fellow has moved on already.
18:53He's been using this space to practice breaking into the university.
19:10After you.
19:23Very good.
19:30Photographs of the university.
19:34Even the vault.
19:36A copy of the schematics for the Annunziata.
19:44Sir?
19:46A rental agreement for the building.
19:48Take a look at the name of the leasee.
20:01Mr. Cheney? Doctor?
20:03Inspector Albert Choi, Toronto Constabulary.
20:06And what is this about?
20:07Dr. Tremblay.
20:09Perhaps you should come down to the station house and explain a few things.
20:14Yes.
20:23You were working with the Panther?
20:25No, I'm not. I swear.
20:28I only rented the warehouse and provided the combination to the vault.
20:31And the schematics for the burglar Annunziata?
20:35Yes, I provided him with those as well.
20:38But that's all I did.
20:39Who is he?
20:40I've never met him. He hasn't even called on the telephone.
20:43I know him only through correspondence.
20:45And through correspondence you decided to aid and abet a master thief?
20:50Why? For money?
20:53No. I told you I'm not his partner.
20:56Then why?
20:59I'm not some mastermind.
21:02I'm an imposter.
21:04Merely a scientist who lied about her credentials.
21:07Which credentials?
21:08I never received a PhD from Laval.
21:11In fact, I was never officially enrolled there.
21:14Did Mr. Cheney not assess your references?
21:16That's just it.
21:18I did everything required of a PhD under the guidance of my mentor, Dr. Simao.
21:23But the university's policies wouldn't admit me officially.
21:26Dr. Simao lied to Mr. Cheney for my benefit.
21:30Somehow the Panther discovered this and used the information to blackmail me.
21:35You would have lost your job at the university.
21:38Not only me.
21:39Dr. Simao would surely lose his career as well.
21:43After all he's done for me, I couldn't let that happen.
21:46So you chose to help a master thief steal the ruby?
21:50Initially. But I couldn't go through with it.
21:53I delayed the delivery in hopes it would scuttle his plan.
21:56It worked.
21:58Even if what you say is true, Dr. Tremblay, you only succeeded in delaying his scheme.
22:03The Panther will not give up so easily.
22:07So, what did you come in contact with that night?
22:11Well, I noticed that the horse statue looked like it might fall over and I righted it.
22:18I found a bit of a smudge on one of the suits of armor so I gave it a bit of a cleaning and...
22:23And?
22:25I danced with the bear.
22:28But the sarcophagus, that's where he was hiding. I had to touch that.
22:33Let's start there.
22:36Police crime scene. Evidence.
22:42Interesting.
22:44What is it?
22:46It's impossible to tell. It's certainly some sort of ancient grime.
22:50I wouldn't want to touch it.
22:52I'll need to look at it under a microscope.
22:54But we can't take scrapings from these antiquities.
22:56Why not?
22:58Well, this is stolen anyway. We should have no qualms about it.
23:01They might not like it.
23:03Oh, they won't see a thing.
23:05Gentlemen, lady, uh, query.
23:08That comely, coquette Cleopatra.
23:10Are the scholars certain she secreted herself in a sack to seduce Caesar?
23:17Sir.
23:19I had constables keep an eye on Miss Tremblay's mailbox in case the Panther tried to connect with her.
23:24I don't think so.
23:26I had constables keep an eye on Miss Tremblay's mailbox in case the Panther tried to connect with her.
23:32No return address.
23:37It is time for us to meet face to face.
23:399pm, Windsor Hotel, room 303.
23:42I take it that's the Panther's signature.
23:45If he's written to her, then he doesn't know we've arrested her.
23:48We're one step ahead.
23:50Perhaps.
23:52You want me to do what?
23:54You'll be taking on the persona of Dr. Elise Tremblay, a mineralogist at the University of Toronto.
23:59And meeting with the Panther.
24:01The jewel thief?
24:02Yes.
24:03In order to...
24:04Find out how he intends to steal the ruby.
24:06Why don't you just wait for him to show up and arrest him then?
24:09We don't have enough evidence to convict him of anything.
24:12All we have is the real Tremblay's word, and she's never laid eyes on him.
24:16We need to find out what he's thinking so we can lay a trap.
24:19Do I even look anything like this woman?
24:21The Panther has never actually seen her.
24:23Then why me?
24:25Oh, it's because I'm a woman. Is that it?
24:30We need you because the Panther is the most brilliant mastermind thief in the world.
24:36And we need someone to trick him into revealing his plan.
24:40And you are the only person that is clever enough to pull it off.
24:46Good answer.
24:49So, gentlemen, I believe we found our culprit.
24:53Fungal spores.
24:55Fungus?
24:56Contagious?
24:57Presumably.
24:59All right, well, what's the cure?
25:01Hurry up, this rash is killing me.
25:06Well, this fungus is only found on the corpses of humanity's vilest souls.
25:12What?
25:14What?
25:16Some believe the supposed curses of ancient Egypt are in fact the slowly developing effects of this fungus,
25:23which infects all who dare to disturb antiquity with a fate worse than death.
25:32There's no way. That can't be true.
25:34No, no, I've read about this, Henry.
25:37Whether or not it is truly a curse, there is undoubtedly a fungus found exclusively in ancient tombs.
25:45It infects first the blood, then the brain.
25:50Like a parasite, it wipes out one's consciousness and turns a man into a soulless automaton,
25:59groaning in endless pain.
26:07What's funny about that?
26:09Oh, Constable Higgins, mix some of this copper sulfate with soap and water.
26:15You'll be fine in a few days.
26:18Henry! Henry!
26:20Henry!
26:36Dr. Tremblay, we meet at last.
26:39Mr. Panther.
26:41Oh, I'm surprised at the warm reception.
26:45I am after all an unwilling participant in your endeavor.
26:50I did not realize I was blackmailing a woman of such beauty.
26:58Well, I suppose people are not always who they seem.
27:02Meaning what?
27:04Meaning that we all contain surprises.
27:11Right.
27:13Perhaps we should get down to business.
27:16The gala, is it going ahead as planned?
27:19As far as I know, yes.
27:22And the ruby will be put on display?
27:25So you're still planning to steal it?
27:27Of course.
27:29At the gala? But that's impossible!
27:33Nothing is impossible.
27:35Will the ruby be on display all night, or will it be unveiled at a specific point during the proceedings?
27:42They plan to deliver it to the Great Hall at 7.30 p.m. after the introductory remarks.
27:48Security?
27:50What of it?
27:52What additional measures are in place?
27:55I haven't a clue.
27:57After your last attempt, they're keeping their plan a secret.
28:00The ruby will be under constant guard.
28:03There will be a hundred eyes on the Star of Mandalay in the Great Hall at every moment.
28:12Well, that won't be a problem.
28:14Why not?
28:18Now, now. You can tell me your little plan.
28:25Don't leave me out in the cold like this.
28:29I thought you were an unwilling participant.
28:32Well, you've fanned the flames of my darker nature.
28:39Now I'm left to sit here, burning with desire.
28:43I had no idea you were so wicked.
28:47Nor did I. I didn't know being a part of a criminal enterprise could be so... thoroughly.
28:55Some take to such iniquity with ease.
28:59How does it feel to take something you know you shouldn't?
29:05It is a sensation without equal.
29:09Then let me take it.
29:11Let me be the one to hold it and feel it and deliver it to ecstatic freedom.
29:21Naughty, naughty.
29:24But that is my task and mine alone.
29:27Well, you'll never succeed with so many people watching at the unveiling.
29:32It will be in my possession before it ever makes it to the Hall.
29:37Huh? Then you plan to crack the safe, do you?
29:41No, that won't be necessary.
29:44That which I desire will be mine.
29:51Doctor, please.
29:55You can share in its glory after I've stolen it.
29:58Then our glory will have to wait as well.
30:02Goodbye.
30:08He intends to steal it while it's in transit.
30:10From the Vault to the Gather.
30:12He all but confirmed as much.
30:13Excellent work.
30:15From the Vault to the Great Hall.
30:19This is the most direct route along the South Corridor and in.
30:24The Kitchen gives access to the South Corridor.
30:27We could hide in there and emerge into the corridor to steal the ruby.
30:31Except that the Kitchen will be in use for the Gala.
30:33Ah, yes. Mrs. Brackenreid and the Lady's Auxiliary Committee will be preparing a Scandinavian buffet.
30:39Oh! At their last function they had crab legs.
30:42You'll have to use a disguise as to not arouse suspicion. A chef or a waiter.
30:49What if we send the Star of Mandalay the long way?
30:54Along the length of the building here and down the North Corridor and in.
30:59That makes the path much longer. More opportunities to interrupt its journey.
31:03Yes, but he doesn't need to know about it.
31:05We'll create a second fake ruby procession that will go along the original direct route.
31:11And lure him to steal it.
31:13Allowing us to nab the Panther red-handed without him being anywhere near the ruby.
31:18Excellent. One good scheme deserves another.
31:22Scandinavian buffet.
31:40Welcome, one and all.
31:42Thanks to your generosity and only a few short years, our world-class establishment will be open to the public.
31:53Oh!
31:59This museum will be the jewel of Canada for decades. Centuries.
32:05And speaking of jewels, very soon you will be treated to a viewing of the world's largest ruby.
32:11The Star of Mandalay.
32:13To the Royal Ontario Museum.
32:17Cheers.
32:21The guest then refills his or her plate with the delight of his or her choosing.
32:29I have to serve myself.
32:31Oh, yes, but you are permitted to help yourself as much or as little as you like.
32:38And it's all cold?
32:40Well, it's the Swedish tradition.
32:43I've heard of this. There's a restaurant in New York City. They call it a smörgåsbord.
32:47A what?
32:48Smörgåsbord.
32:50All right. And if anybody sneezes?
32:53Oh, because it is one thing if it is on your own dinner, but it is quite another if it's on everybody else's.
33:00What you need, right, is a piece of glass all along here.
33:03Yes. Indeed, we should do that. Quite smart.
33:08Ah, fine. Right.
33:11Cheney has been appraised of the plan. The decoy will be on the move shortly.
33:15I still haven't seen the panther.
33:17He'll show himself.
33:25Excuse me.
33:33Oh, my, you have a firm hand, Albert.
33:36What do you think you're doing?
33:38I'm just having fun.
33:40Give it back.
33:42I was just doing it to tease you.
33:44If I wanted to pick someone's pocket, do you really think I'd let you know this?
33:48Don't try that again.
33:49Or what?
34:02It's not gossip. It's the truth. She does all her own stunts. I read it in the Sentinel.
34:07Well, as her close and personal friend, I can tell you that Ruth Newsome is a true heroine.
34:13You know her.
34:14There he is.
34:17Dressed as a waiter, just as we thought.
34:19It appears our trap is going to work.
34:21Let's hope so.
34:23If you'll excuse me.
34:27What are you doing?
34:29How many times have I told you that you can't leave a tray for the cat to see?
34:33And you haven't even filled the herring.
34:36The key to a successful smorgasbord.
34:40If he doesn't go for the ruby now, our entire plan will be for naught.
34:45She's...
34:46I've got it.
34:48Mrs. Brackenreid.
34:50Apologies, but a guest is inquiring into obtaining your services for a luxury cruise.
34:56Quebec City to the Cape.
34:58Oh, wow. Cape Cod. How wonderful.
35:01When does it depart?
35:02There's no cruise.
35:04I'll explain later.
35:05All right. Well, that waiter, he looks familiar.
35:09That's the uniform Thoreau warned us of enterprises that require a change of clothes.
35:14Conformity crushes the individual.
35:18Indeed.
35:21Let's go.
35:25Just...
35:36I've always wondered what happened to the dinosaurs.
35:40What do you mean?
35:41They were huge, fearsome creatures. Why did they die out?
35:45Maybe they didn't.
35:47Then where have they been for the last 60 million years?
35:51Well, there are some in Alberta, aren't there?
35:54No. No, I don't think there are.
35:57How could you know? There's no way that people could have checked everywhere.
36:01I've never even been to Toronto Island.
36:03Well, I've never been to the moon either, but I'm certain there's no dinosaur bones there.
36:07Well, now you're just being ridiculous.
36:09I'm not being ridiculous.
36:13He went for it.
36:17Going somewhere?
36:23Well done. That is a relief indeed.
36:26He refuses to say anything, but given that we caught him with the decoy in hand, I'd say we have a pretty strong case.
36:32More importantly, it's safe to bring out the real McCoy.
36:35Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
36:41Everything all right?
36:43I don't know.
36:45If you're feeling that it was all a tad too easy, I share the sentiment.
36:57Job well done.
36:59Shall we toast?
37:00Yes.
37:03Roberts, did you see that man?
37:05What is it?
37:06He has the same rash that I had.
37:08What?
37:09Look at him.
37:12Oh my God. The panther was in the sarcophagus.
37:15But that could mean...
37:22There you have it. There's no rash on his hands.
37:25And?
37:26The panther was inside of the sarcophagus.
37:28And?
37:29The panther was inside of the sarcophagus.
37:31But I just saw a man in the crowd who has the same rash that I've got.
37:34So this isn't the panther, then.
37:37Let's try to find that other man.
37:40What? What's this, then?
37:42Why aren't you refilling the trays?
37:44We're suddenly unsure whether or not we have the correct culprit.
37:47Culprit? He's a waiter.
37:51No. Are you an actor?
37:52Yes, you are.
37:55An actor?
37:56Yes. Thomas and I saw him on stage last week.
37:58He did a play with John.
38:01Kenneth Sanborn, isn't it?
38:03You are quite good.
38:05Thank you, ma'am.
38:06You're welcome.
38:07So you really are an actor, then?
38:10Yes.
38:11I thought this was all a performance.
38:13What do you mean, a performance?
38:15I was told it was all part of a show for the crowd.
38:18Entertainment in the town square, as it were.
38:20Who told you this?
38:21Mr. Pantera. He promised to help my career.
38:24Pantera is Italian for panther.
38:26He's one step ahead of us again.
38:29Oh, no.
38:35The ruby's missing.
38:37Sir, we need to lock all of the doors now.
38:39It may not have left the building just yet.
38:41These men need medical attention.
38:42Yes, sir.
38:46Everyone, attention! Attention, please!
38:48What are you doing?
38:49We need to lock the doors. The ruby's missing.
38:52Have the waiters lock the doors.
38:54Don't let anyone leave.
38:55Just don't create a scene, please.
38:58Right.
39:02We don't know precisely how much time passed
39:04between when the guards were attacked and when they were found.
39:07No more than two or three minutes.
39:09But I suppose it could have been out the door in one.
39:12Possibly.
39:13But the ushers claim no one left the building
39:15in the moments prior to the commotion.
39:17So it may still be in the building.
39:19Certainly a possibility.
39:27Sir, I found someone.
39:33What's going on now? Who's this?
39:35I believe this is one of the guards.
39:36Guards? Which guard?
39:38The one guarding the ruby.
39:39Then who was taken out to the ambulance?
39:50This isn't the hospital.
39:52No. This is station house number four.
39:56And you're under arrest.
39:58What? How did you know?
40:00Well, it would seem that we were both cursed.
40:04Take him to the cells, Henry.
40:06Oh, but first...
40:12The star of manhood,
40:15The star of Mandalay
40:17has an ape with the Royal Ontario Museum.
40:28Ladies and gentlemen,
40:30the star of Mandalay.
40:44Thank you, Inspector.
40:45You have saved the Royal Ontario Museum.
40:48Did the guests really not notice anything was amiss?
40:50Rumors were swirling that a heist was narrowly averted.
40:53But it seems to have done nothing to hinder donations.
40:56Toronto does love a little skin.
40:58Indeed.
40:59And, madam,
41:01the smears go board was magnificent.
41:04Oh, my goodness.
41:06Well, I think my husband's out here.
41:15Wow.
41:17Harrison Oliphant, the king of thieves.
41:20You not only attempted the robbery of the century,
41:23you managed to drag two innocent people into your scheme,
41:26Mr. Sanborn and Dr. Trombley.
41:28A good thief uses the tools made available to him.
41:31Those are people you are talking about,
41:33people whose lives you've irreparably altered.
41:36Are you even a Broadway producer?
41:38Any dope can throw a dime or an idea at a play
41:41and call himself a producer.
41:42No, I'm a thief, an aging one at that.
41:45With the advent of your security system,
41:47it felt like the perfect time to hit one last score
41:50and retire for good.
41:52Well, it's no cabin on the water,
41:54but I do hear wonderful things
41:56about the Kingston pen this time of year.
42:01Detective.
42:06Dr. Trombley.
42:08Thank you for saving the ruby, detective.
42:11I apologize for my part in this terrible scheme.
42:15I realize you felt as though you had no other option,
42:19but I can't guarantee you won't be facing charges on this matter.
42:23I understand.
42:25What will you do now,
42:27if your time at the university does come to an end?
42:30I don't know,
42:32but I think I'll feel better without any secrets.
42:35Indeed.
42:37All the best to you.
42:40Oh.
42:42Job well done, sir.
42:44Yes, but running back and forth to the university
42:47has me ready for bed like never before.
42:53Is something missing?
42:55My key. To my room.
42:57Have I misplaced it, or...?
43:01Excuse me.
43:19I told you you wouldn't notice
43:21if I actually wanted to pick someone's pocket.
43:24You are quite a devil, aren't you?
43:26Oh.
43:28You got your man, inspector.
43:31Now it's time for you to get your woman.
43:39MUSIC
