"Is everythingall set, boss?" " It's all set to go, except Marney." "Yes?" "Good morning, Sir." " Good morning." "Thank you." "Ambrose?" "Sir?" " My razor is missing." "The black one." "But Sir, I placed it there myself." " This is hardly my property!" "The printingof R. And M. Is entirely different." "Is that the best you could do?" "You didn't bother to look for mine, just bought a cheapcopy!" "Thought I wouldn't know my personal property?" "Leave!" "Ambrose!" "Sir?" " How is my daughter?" "Miss Denise is doingwell, Sir." "Miss Denise is sleeping, Sir." "Thank you." "I told you to leave!" "Don't stand there behind me." "You'll make me nervous." "Don't get so nervous." "Who are you?" " Don't you recognize your bosom friend?" "Without a hat?" "Legge!" " That's right!" "Joe Legge!" "You're right my friend." "To forget is most unkind." "Even though it's 20 years... since you'veseen this face." "I even remember... your beautiful wife Cornelia." " Don't you mention her name." "You swine!" "I'll call the police!" " Stop!" "My Robert, it's pointless to call the police... because I'm freeas theair." "How does that make you feel?" "Thestatuteof limitations rescued me." "Just becauseof it," "I'm freeas a bird." "Very unfortunate if I told... who helped me in a big bank robbery, wouldn't it, Marney?" "What do you want from me, Legge?" " Oh... nothing." "Really nothing." "I'd just like to leave a few of my things hereat your estate." "What kind of things?" " Just a few boxes." "I just thought it would be nicer for you, a member of parliament, to have my things." "Don't you agree?" " I wouldn't consider it, believe me." "You brought me troubleonce..." " I understand." "You'll understand also." "First of all, we'll havea meetingtonight." "You'll be thereand I'll explain it." " Meet with you?" " That's right." "And be thereon time. 8o'clock at the Club Highlow in the Soho district." "13 will be the room number." "You shouldn't have forgotten it." "13!" "Yes." "I remember." " You very well should come because..." "If you don't come..." "By the way, I've been told that your daughter is extremely beautiful." "I'm sure you'd like her to remain that way." "But perhaps..." "You filth, you!" "Who sent for you?" " It's 9:30!" "I was called." "There's a pick-up here for my cab." "You're mistaken." "Who phoned for you?" "It's alright, Ambrose." "It's my taxi." "Oh, but..." " You mustn't look so astonished." "Did you forget, how a servant acts in 20 years?" " I beg your pardon, Sir?" "Think about it, Ambrose." "Think." "It will return to you in a while." "Joe Legge!" "This is patrol car 63." "Give me Inspector Banner!" "Superintendent Sir John will handle this case himself!" "Thesuper himself?" "Oh my goodness, thesuper himself is goingto it!" "We're really onto something!" " Here's Sir John!" "Thank you." "Sir, I've been following Joe Legg." "I followed him out to Marney Castle." "Hestayed there for precisely 9 minutes and 20seconds." "What, have you lost your mind?" "You allowed a criminal like that to enter a homeof a respectable member... of society and do not arrest him?" " I had strict orders not to arrest him!" "Oh, nonsense!" "Never mind thosesilly new orders." "Drat it all, no wonder thosecrooks... make fools of us!" "Now listen carefully." "Keep following Legge's car and find out where he's going." "But don't lose him!" " It's right ahead of us, Sir!" "You can trust me, Sir." "Hello, Horse?" "Is everythingalright?" "Very good, Sir." "Nothing's wrong, Sir." "Everything is just fine." "Report by phone and don't makea mess of it all." "Now, what do you makeof that?" "A rotten gangster like Joe Legg visitingthe gentleman Sir Robert Marney?" "Why?" "I've got to think about it." "I mustn't makea big mistake." "It's funny Sir Robert's connected with this man." "I'm perplexed." "No, there's no connection." "I think Sir Robert will call us." "You mean to makea report of it?" "That could be." "But then weshall wait and see." "Sorry, Mr. Gray is busy." "Gray here, who is it?" " This is Sir Robert Marney speaking." "You might know of me." " Yes, member of parliament." "That's correct." "I must see you at once, it's urgent!" " Urgent!" "Frankly, I'm busy now." "Call me tomorrow." "It's a matter of lifeand death, Gray!" " Lifeand death?" "Yes!" " This is sounding more interesting." "Please!" " Alright, Sir Robert." "I'll come." "Boss." "The box has just arrived." " The policemen were tryingto follow me." "Takea look outside." " Right away, Legge." "Yes..." "Yes." "Yes!" "Just as I thought!" "Our own master sleuth Sergeant Horse has fouled upagain!" "Don't worry, Sir." "Oneof our woman agents just called in." "Joe Legg is at the Highlow Club right now." "We even have his room number!" "That's fine." "I havea few small inquiries to ask that gentlemen." "Come with us!" "Get the bridgeand theswitch house." "Theswitch house... here." "And the bridge, here." "I'll be hanged if you'll make yourself clear." "What are we playingwith toys for?" "You say you'll be hanged?" "What a choiceof words." "But I tell you, Mr. Legg is not here!" " Quiet, that's enough." "Here weare!" " Alright, there it is." "Look for yourself." "See?" "Nothing, it's empty." "Why don't you make yourself at home?" "I've no idea what this gangster proposes to do." "But you'll have to... protect my daughter." "It's her I'm worried about, now." "If anything happened to her," "I just wouldn't know what to do." "Alright, Sir Robert, I know the problem." "My suggestion is you meet him at this Highlow Club." "Watch yourself." "Try to figureout... what his thoughts are and exactly how you fit into them." "Can't bedone." "Isn't theresomething important that you're not telling me?" "Somethingthat happened between you and Joe Legge?" "You must tell me, even if it happened 20 years ago." "Watch what you'resaying, Gray." "I'm not a liar!" "Alright, Sir Marney, but I'm not used to working blindfolded." "But if you're withholdinganything..." "Comeon out of there!" "I've got a revolver." "I'm giving you 3 seconds!" "What, are you crazy?" " Denise, are you alright?" "You could have been killed!" " I didn't know it could be... so dangerous living in one's own house!" "Why were you hiding, youngwoman?" " I've been in the lounge... since you and father came in the room." " You should havecomeout." "But heordered a man to comeout." "I am a woman." "Then may I ask you out in another way?" "Havesupper with me." "You seem to bea man who loves to play games, don't you." "As a matter of policy, I never accept invitations with a pistol pointed at me." "No, I've had enough." " You can clear the table." "Any more excitement for me?" " Fine." "This club is different." " You know, I thought you'd get skittish comingwith me to the Highlow Club." " Honestly?" "But with a privatedetective?" "Your father was..." "But which train?" " The provincial banks... send their money in for collection at Friday nights in London." "This heavily guarded express train leaves Liverpool at 9:08and... arrives at Paddington Station at 3:58 A.M. I told them not to disturb us!" "What is it?" " Denise Marney is in the night club." "Guess who her escort is?" "Johnny Gray!" " Who's that?" "I've been away!" "He's the best detective in London!" " Well, it seems that Papa Marney... is goingto cause us troubleafter all!" "I'll takecareof the girl later." "The most important part of theoperation is precise timing." "I'll be informed... if the train is not on time." "We'll stop the train at milestone 721." "We takeover the Bakersvilleswitch house." "From there, wechange the main signal." "The timetableshows that the freight train should becomingthrough at 3:21." "Theswitch house has only one man in it at midnight." "Joyceand Edwards will takecareof him." "And don't makean error with thesignals!" "It's number TR 39-A!" "Here, memorize it." "Thesecond group will consist of you 5." "As soon as the train stops at thesignal, 3 of you pull at the locomotiveand takecareof the engineer and fireman." "The remaining2 of you will crawl between thesecond baggageand first baggagecar, and uncouple the mail car from the rest of the train!" "You take the locomotiveand the first car another 1000 yards to the bridge." "There, Blackstone will be waiting, hereat his point." "This sighting must beswitched 4 minutes after the main signal is turned to stop." "It's number OM 38-A." "If the OM and TR are mixed up, you'd better order your coffins." "You got me?" " Yeah." "Good." "A truck will be waiting on the bridge." "Do you have your guns?" "You approach the mail car, knock on thedoor, have your guns ready." "Becareful." "When the guard answers, you explain to them... theaxle is overheated." "Must be my visitor." "Legge?" "Joe Legge!" "Good evening, Sir Robert." "Punctual as always, I see." "Havea scotch?" " No." "I want to come right to the point." " I understand that." "By the way, it was niceof you to bring your daughter here to theclub." "But she's in such terriblecompany." "Do you come hereoften?" "Sheseems to know you." "Denise?" "But I don't know her." "I've never been in this place before." "But shedoes seem to be lookingtoward us." "I'll be back in a minute." "She's either a member of the mob, or she's tryingto warn us of something." "I'll go and check into it." "I won't be gone long." "And perhaps I'll find your father." "Iggy!" "How's every little thing?" " What do you want?" "You don't belong here." "You'reso protective." "I'm lookingforward to the hour when this placeshuts down." "Then you'll bearrested." " Me, arrested?" "Not me." "Never!" "You will cooperate and takeorders from me." "Is that clear?" "I need your castle to ensure a successful plan." "You ruined my lifeonce before, Legge." "Yes?" "There's trouble." "Wanda was murdered right in front of everyone." "By a shaving blade." "What happened?" " Not much." "Just some girl got it." "With a straight razor." "A murder?" "Who?" "It wasn't your daughter who died this time." "But who can tell what might happen?" "I'll do anything you ask of me, as longas you don't touch my daughter." "That's entirely up to you." "All you have to do is to get rid of this detective." "Then everythingwill bealright." "But the policearecoming here." "I'll see that you get home." " No, my car is waiting." "I want Denise to come home now." " I'll drive you back." "You do as I say." "If this is a privateclub, you must havea list of the members, and their homes!" " Go and get them." "And you, my dear Mr. Gray?" "Would you tell me what you'redoing here this evening?" "Will allow me to unravel this?" " There's no doubt that you will do that." "In answer to your question what I was doing hereduringthis lurid business, all I can say is that the murder occurred while I was diningquietly with a woman." "Don't just stand around." "Do something!" "There you are Higgins." "Have you found any prints yet, Higgins?" "Dr. Higgins, please!" "You always forget that." "So sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Dr. Higgins." "Now, what have you uncovered?" " Sir, it's dreadful!" "Thedead girl..." "The victim was oneof our own agents." " I was just about to say that, Sir." "I was unawareat first as she was nude." " I knew becauseshe was wearing... theofficial underwear of Scotland Yard." " Our own official underwear?" "Oh goodness." "Terrence, search the entire vicinity." "Question everybody!" "Astounding!" "You're lookingat thedumb waiter, Sir!" "I certainly am." "Hands up!" "Ambrose!" "Why are you here." " I am waitingfor Sir Robert." "I'm lookingfor him." "Have you seen Miss Denise here?" " She's in there, Sir." "I've hidden her from the police so that she wouldn't be found... in this terrible place." " That's good thinking." "Here, hold this." "Hey there!" "What are you up to?" "Denise?" "Denise!" "Johnny, I'm scared!" " My car's outside." "Come, hurry!" "Jump!" "This way, down here!" "Honey, did you find anything?" " Oh, pardon me!" "Haven't found a thing, Sir." " You will go through the entireclub." "Investigateall the rooms." "What's this?" " This gent refuses to cooperate." "You havea good respectable business man." " Book him!" "Will do, Sir." "It's theonly room that's locked." " A wonderful opportunity for our doctor." "Alright now, do your work." "Attention officers." "When heopens that door, you will advance." "He who shoots first lives longest." "Something you want?" "Perhaps when you're not on official business!" "Sir!" "Stay where you are!" "It's you." " Gray, what are you doing here?" "I've passed the night in theadjoining room." "You asked me to... keepan eyeon your daughter." " He's been a perfect gentleman, father." "You go back to sleep, Denise." "I'll havea little talk with Mr. Gray." "I'm sorry but circumstances force me to dismiss you, Mr. Gray." "I'll give you a check." " Very interesting." "I take it then that your daughter will beout of trouble from now on." "If you wish to put it that way, yes." " I understand." "Mr. Joe Legge has gotten to you." " Come to the library." "Won't you try to get somesleep?" " I..." "I suppose you overheard our little talk." "Well, I'll be back." " But Johnny!" "You're not goingto just..." "leave?" "I'm goingto Scotland Yard." "Why are you so edgy, Denise." "Steady there." "I'll protect you." "I know." "Well, Ambrose?" "You made it home." " Yes, Mr. Gray." "I'd like to ask you something, my friend." "Whose portrait is that... hanging in Denise's bedroom?" " It is Lady Marney." "Died 20 years ago." "Of what?" "How did Lady Marney die, Ambrose?" "You are wanted in the library, Sir." "You will convey to Sir Robert that it is my thought to complete my work... as soon as possible." "Is that understood?" "Denise." "Johnny is fired?" "Why father?" "It was necessary, Denise." "But you don't have to be frightened anymore." "You'll besafe from now on." " Tell me what happened last night!" "It can't be true that you've made an agreement with this gangster?" "What gangster?" "What are you talkingabout?" "I'm not an infant, father!" "I want to know what's bothering you." "Why was that man here yesterday?" "Why did you meet him at this cabaret?" "He's bothering you." "And you won't tell me why." "A foolish mistake." "Which I shouldn't havedone." "It happened 20 years ago." "I wanted to avoid a scandal." "Election was at hand." "Houseof Commons." "He won't beable to put you in prison?" " No." "Not to prison." "But he might ruin me socially and politically." "Denise!" "Whereare you going?" " Something must bedone to help you!" "Denise!" "You can't fool us with your lies!" "Here it says, it was your prints on the murder weapon!" " I tell you I'm innocent." "I just picked up that razor accidentally." "Johnny Gray can exonerate me!" "You're goingto hang, Iggy!" "And I'm goingto watch you swing." "Johnny Gray has disappeared." "He probably found out... you were goingto use him." "Morning!" " Mr. Gray!" "I thought, I heard someone mention my name." "This is extraordinary!" "Unbelievable!" " Why is that, Sir John?" "I wanted to explain why I disappeared." " Tell me!" "Could you tell him I didn't commit the murder?" "I really hate to admit it but hedidn't commit the murder!" " Quiet you!" "Come!" "Tell me what you know that I don't know." "You know something, Gray." "Talk!" "Sir John, I must examine the weapon!" " Yes, I was right!" "Come, we go to Higgins." "Hey, what about me?" " Throw him out and open all the windows!" "Watch it!" "I hate to do this to you, my beautiful Emily, but there must besomesacrifices made." "For the progress of mankind." "It is hot enough." "Everything ready." "It is time then." "What kind of a Frankenstein have you created here?" "Please, if you will lie flat on the floor." "Right where you are." "Just a precaution." "It's perfect, wonderful." "It turned out much better than I expected!" "Emily!" "Can you ever forgive me?" "There you are Emily." "Thank you so much." "His mind is brilliant, if he has one." "Thank you, thank you." "I would however, like to recommend that in the future you have your explosions without me!" "Forgive me." " But of course." "Are you injured, Sir?" " I'm not sure." "The experiment was a success!" " Which?" "Sulfur potassium concentrate plus phenol pymethol pyrasalon... creates an explosive reaction!" "The murder of Devonshire has been solved!" "The Devonshire murder?" " Quiteso, Sir." "This pieceof phenol pymethol pyrasalon was attached by the murderer to the lamp." "When his wifecame into the room..." "paloom!" "Well, that's wonderful!" "If this is true, Higgins," "I'll award you the titleof "professor"!" " My goodness, Sir!" "What have you found, Gray?" " Just what I've been lookingfor." "Takea look, Sir John." "R. And M." " R. M.?" "R. And M." ""And at the latest report, the primesuspect for the murder... of thestriptease girl at the notorious Highlow Club in Soho is Joe lggy." "His age is 34." "Sir John expects a full confession shortly."" "A pox on that bloody idiot!" "How can this happen?" "We'reabout to pull the biggest job in the entire history of England, and he gets involved with Scotland Yard!" " He will talk if they push him!" "He knows everythingabout our plans." " I know." "But he'll beshot... before heopens his mouth." "He'll still be in the interrogation room." "And what if he's already talked?" "It must be Blackstone." " Open up thedoor." "How are you?" "Surprised to see me back in circulation?" "Yes, old lggy's back in town." "What's the matter?" " How did you get out?" "The newspapers said that you were..." " Testimony?" "Excellent witnesses, thesolid citizen kind." "Johnny Gray for example." "Are we goingto believe lggy?" "Johnny Gray helping protect us?" "Why you!" "Let go of me!" "Leave him!" "I trust lggy." "As longwecan't prove he's lying, we'll believe him." "Here hecomes, now." "We've become fast friends." "I'veconvinced him that I'm a liquor salesman." "Old Louie loves to drink." "Hello Louis!" "What's up, how's it going?" " Ah, rotten!" "Here then, catch it!" "This'll do it!" "Thanks!" "Goingto go!" "Don't drink it all in one gulp!" "There he goes, loping into theswitch house." "For a nip, as he might say." "Hedoes it every day at exactly... thesame time." "Since theswitch house is run by one man." "Herecomes the 2:22 to Manchester." " Right on time." "We'll want your report later." " There's a woman here to see you." "A woman?" "What woman?" " Miss Denise Marney." "Of course, Denise Marney." "She's right here." "I thought so." "I'll send her right up." "He'll see you." "Slim, can't you find anythingto do?" " I'm supposed to stand out in front!" "Don't argue with me, you numbskull!" "Oh, my goodness!" "Excuse me." "You're thespitting image of your mother!" "You knew my mother?" " Yes, I knew her." "But I'm certain you didn't come here to see me to talk about your mother." "Won't you please beseated." " No." "All I have to say to you is this:" "Will you pleasestopannoying my father?" " Your father?" "You're not very clear." "I just barely know your father." " You know what I'm speakingof." "I'm sure that he's been seeing you." "If you don't halt your threatening," "I'm goingstraight to Scotland Yard." " I'm confused as to what you say." "Your father can do whatever pleases him." " Alright." "But you've had your warning." "And believe me, I'll find out what you're goingto do." "Just like Mama." "Miss Marney is comingdownstairs." "Miss Marney!" "Oh, it's you!" " Get out of here!" "Pig!" "I'll kill you someday." "Miss Marney!" "Denise!" "Maniac!" "What have you done to her?" "What have you done to Sally?" "Are you alright?" "Yes but, murder..." "That woman was..." "Oh, no!" " Someone murdered?" "I didn't do it, not me." "Sonny did it." "I saw her!" "You'll regret this!" "Make that little runt scream with pain!" "Call Scotland Yard." "A woman's been murdered at the Highlow Club!" "One minute, Sir!" "What's that?" "Blackstone!" "Hello, Blackstone." "Come in!" "Blackstonespeaking." " Listen, do you know Johnny Gray?" "And thedaughter of Sir Robert Marney?" " Sure, I know them both, why?" "They have to disappear, both of them." " Understood, Boss." "Gray, what have you done to Denise?" " Nothing." "He's done nothing." "I have to ask you a few questions, Sir Robert." "I have no intention of answering questions from you, Sir." "I told you... not to enter my house." " Shall Scotland Yard ask you quotations?" "For an example:" "Why was your black razor found by the victim?" "I've never seen this razor." " R.M." "Thoseare your initials aren't they?" "Robert Marney." "My butler lost it some timeago." " Ah, your butler!" "Is Ambrose insane, Sir Robert?" "Because this murderer is a psychopath." "3 murders by the razor in one week." "The woman by the railroad, thedancer Wanda, and now another one in the Highlow." " I don't understand." "What are you withholding, Marney?" "Is therea connection between the murders and your meeting had with Joe Legg?" "That's utterly ridiculous, Gray." "I feel faint." "I don't know what to think." "Let me liedown." "You have big ears, Ambrose" " You speak very loud, Sir." "Tell me, did you lose this razor." " Well, if Sir Robert says so." "That's no answer?" "You must tell me where." " I really don't know." "Oneday it was just misplaced." "I couldn't find it, Sir." "One morequestion." "Lady Marney died 20 years ago in this house." "Didn't it happen with a razor?" " Lady Marney?" "We'respeakingof murder." "Lady Marney killed herself." " Yes, I know." "I've been told that." "I suppose you're theone who found her after this suicide." "And I suppose Sir Robert telephoned for a doctor." "Yes." "The police were - if you mean that - much in thedark, not notified." "You're right, that's just what I thought." "Higgins!" "Anyone here?" "Hello, who's out there?" "What's goingon?" " Ah, my dear Master lggy." "Look here!" "Were you hit by a freight train?" "What can I do for you?" " The body, man, where is it?" "You mean me?" "I'm still alive!" "Fileon." " Now wait, let me go." "There's nobody." "Search the whole place, men." "Comeon, we'll begin upstairs." "I intend to find that body, if I have to tear this placeapart piece by piece." "Who lives here?" " Pia Pasani." "She's away on a trip." "Alright, open all thedoors." "You might find a body in there!" "Break in the floors." "And why are you walkingwith a limp?" " I'll tell you." "I tripped and fell down thestairs." "This is too much." "Too much!" "Hello, Boss." "Hello, Boss!" "Yes, what is it?" " Send flowers, Boss." "Thedetective is gone." " I'm sorry to hear it." "Good work." "Miss Denise!" "Miss Denise!" "Mr. Gray has been shot." "After he left here." "On his way to town." "The policesay... there's no hope." "I'll bea minute." "I just can't believe it." "I was with him just an hour ago!" "I don't know anything." "I was just told to get you to St. Christopher's Hospital." "Now Henry you bea good boy whileold uncle Higgins... is golfing in thecountry for a long, longweekend." "If you're good," "I'll bring you clover or something." "I love you my Emily." "I'll be back." "What's the matter, Higgins." "Startle you?" "You seem to be goingsomewhere." "Johnny!" "You shouldn't frighten a person like that." "What are you doing here?" "I'm playing in thecountry with Sir John for the Scotland Yard golf contest." "You'll play another time." " Another time?" "Stay with me here, Higgy." "Would you happen to havea needleand thread?" "They nicked me." "It's just a flesh wound." "Would you help me get my jacket off?" "Careful, it hurts." " Oh, my goodness." "Careful." "I've been to a doctor, he patched me up." "Professor Halkin." "Charmingold gentleman." "At one time he was the Marney family doctor." "Now take it easy!" "Tell me how all this shootingall happened." "They ambush you?" "Yes, at the railroad crossing." " Wait a moment." "Yes." "A 9 mm bullet." "Very likely a shot from a hunting rifle." "Yes, that's what it was." "They havea tendency to drift to theside." " You're marvellous, Higgy." "You sound like you were there!" " You leave your coat with me, and I'll tell you who shot you." "Higgy?" " Yes?" "Do you lock this place when you leave?" " Certainly, do you think I sleep here?" "I leave the key on the hook by thedoor." "This is Scotland Yard." "Apropos:" "Takesomeadvice from an old friend." "Try to avoid meetingwith Sir John." "Just for the next coupleof days or so." " Why's that?" "Are you joking?" "You make us all rush over to that Highlow Club to catch a murderer, and nothingat all happened!" "You mean you found nothing?" " Right." "Denisesaw it!" "Wait, I'll call her." "The Marney Manor." "The butler." "Mr. Gray!" "You'realive?" " Of course I'm alive." "Hope that isn't disappointing." "What?" "A policeman in uniform, you say?" "I'll call back!" "Denise has been kidnapped!" " Yes." "By Joe Legge!" "But why her?" "Could be becauseshe knows about the murder at the Highlow." "Of course, shesaw the whole thing." "Thesame reason they took a shot at me." "A body just doesn't disappear." "They've got it hidden at the Highlow." "And there's Denise." "We must get her out." " But my golf championship invitation!" "You'll stay!" "There must bea way of findingout whereshe might be hidden!" "And you might useall this technical equipment and with it you might find her." "What do I have to say to convince you that you're theonly man who can do it?" "Wecan't count on Scotland Yard and all that red tape." "Do you realize what you'reaskingof me?" "You'reasking me to lose my pension!" "No, wait!" "I think it might be the right time to try my vest." "My invention!" "The most bullet-proof vest in the world." "Shoot here, you rat!" "You can't murder old Higgins." "Shoot!" " It's great." "Gather upsome moreof your gadgets." "The kind that unlock doors if they'reshut." "Yes, somedynamite, a bit of TNT." "Nitrous oxide?" "Fine with me." " Johnny, how about disguises?" "Yes, that's perfect!" "We'll go disguised as smoking jackets." "Wecan't afford to arouseany suspicions." "Wait until twelve then." "At theclub." "I'll be ready, Sir!" "There he goes." "Did you observe the way he glanced at you?" "I wonder what he's conjuring up?" "Shut upand listen." "I did it to avoid thechanceof a doublecross." "I'vedone everything you asked." " Besureof it." "Stick to your bargain, and your daughter will come to no harm." "Hello." "London 1." " This is Liverpool." "I'm speakingfrom a booth in the train station." "Yes, Boss, everything is fine." "The trucks just rolled in with thestuff 2 minutes ago." "And now, they're putting it on the train." "All right, Harry." "Alright Harry, ready to move." "Ready?" " Ready!" "Alright, move it on out!" "If this stuff doesn't get to London, I'll tell them that you guys stole it!" "All clear up!" "It's 9:07, Boss." "Is that right?" "Exactly." "It should leave right this minute." "It's movingout this minute!" "Help me!" "Just like your Mama." "Don't bother shouting." "No one will hear you." " They'll arrest you!" "Mind your own business, my littlecheery." "It's best you rest for the night." "I'll look in on you tomorrow." "Where is Mr. Gray?" "Forget about him." "He's been buried!" "Nein." "No!" "Lggy will takesomethingto her room." "And you give it to her." " Right away!" "Hey, Slim, here it comes!" "Forster in Framingham, here." "Our freight train is leaving!" "It's 4 minutes late." "Can you hear it?" " Of course." "I'm not deaf!" "Ok." "Get hopping!" "Ladies and Gentlemen!" "It's my pleasure to bring you the main act... of the evening:" "Right on thestage of the world-famous Highlow Club," "I present that great dame, Mona Anne Nellie." "Direct from Paris." " Wheredo westart?" "Have patience, Higgins." "If Iggy sees me, he'll havea heart attack." "The expression on his faceshould tell us what we need to know." "Comeon to the bar."

"No, it would be tragic." " All I can tell you is this:" "Something's goingto happen tonight, and it concerns the train... due in the Paddington depot at exactly 3:58 this morning!" "This is quite embarrassing." "Look now, you're Legge, givingthe police tips!" "It really is embarrassing." "Then let's havea look at the time table to find out which train is comingat 3:58!"

"Let's go." "Close it." "I'd love to kill him." "Cut him up into millions of little pieces!" "If that's him again, I'll..." "I'm sleeping!" " Just wonderful, Sir John!" "However do you want your friend Higgins to solve this crimeall alone?" "Well if not, you better get right over to Marney Castle." "You'll find us there." "3 million pounds, Marney!" "Pretty soon, every Scotland Yard in Britain will be lookingfor that booty." "But not in your basement." "No, not down there." "And you're going to keep your mouth shut!" "What is this?" "It's Johnny Gray!" "What was that?" "You'vecalled the police, why you!" "Remember Lady Marney!" "1 and 2 and 3..." "And go!" "Mama mia!" " Bravo Higgins!" "Bravo!" "Get them!" "I'm not dead!"

"I should have known." "No!" "Johnny Gray will tell you!" " And he had this on him." "I only had it to keep the murderer from using it again." "Ambrose!" "Won't you tell me the truth now?" "Why was Sir Robert blackmailed by Legge?" "What did happen 20 years ago?" "Lady..." "Marney... at that time..." " She was Joe Legge's mistress!" "When the police wereabout to get him for robbery, he threatened to unmask her." "To avoid a scandal, Sir Robert helped him to get out of thecountry, right?" "Yes." "It's Legge!" "I found out about it when I talked to the Marney's family doctor." "Denise was a mere5-year-old when she saw her mother, who was insane then, committingsuicide with a straight razor." "Shesat for hours by her mothers body." "She just sat and watched." "This whole ghastly scene has affected her whole life." "To becertain, I left her alone here last night, with that mannequin and a razor." "She mistook thedoll for a sleepingwoman." "She reacted precisely as before." "Denise was insane." "She'd murder women." "Shecouldn't stop herself." "She'd murder any woman, no matter who she was." "Until she became her own target." "Exactly like her mother 20 years ago." "Emily!" "Emily, what are you doing in this place?" "My poor dear Emily!" "Please, Professor!" "Professor?" " Yes, I said professor." "Your appointment is official this moment." " Professor..." "Oh Emily, why couldn't you share this proud moment with me?" "A taxi!" "I must hurry to thedoll company!" "Maybea specialist could still save her!"
