"Speak English?" "Yeah, sure." "Good." "I'd like you to send this telegram for me, please." " 14 Shillings, 50, please." " 14.50..." "Thank you." "You have saved something in that." "In here there's always such a commotion." "Oh!" "Here it is." "Mrs. Karen Manelli" "You're in luck." "Please, would you sign here?" "Thank you." "Hope it's good news." "Of course." "Happy New Year." "Thank you!" "And same to you!" "Well?" "Finally back?" "Where have you been?" "The shops are terribly crowded today, Mr. Kruger, I had to wait everywhere." "It's New Years Eve, you know." "Ah just a second." "I wanted to ask you what you did with my dress shoes." "I looked everywhere for them." "Why they're in your closet." "I couldnt find them, you'll have to look." "Now please." "Of course." "Immediately." "But the shoes are in your closet, Mr. Kruger, right where I put them." "Really?" "And I didnt see them." "Thank you." "They get anything?" "Well this time there is." "A telegram." "Jack Mortimer arrives today" "His train arrives at 7." "Yes," "What time is it now?" "It's 4 O'Clock." "I wonder what she wrote to him." "Why dont you ask her?" "Ask her?" "Why not?" "I will." "Why Claude, you shouldnt get upset." "You have a concert tonight." "Perhaps I shouldnt have shown it to you." "I'm very grateful you did." "Mrs. Fraser?" "Tell me how many letters or telegrams have you given my wife lately?" "Interesting?" "Your book?" "Not especially." "What is it?" "You know how you look?" "Like someone sitting at a railroad station whose train is late." "Holding a book to fill in the time, and waiting." "What are you waiting for Karen?" "I dont know what you mean." "Perhaps for an answer." "The answer to a letter you have written." "What did you write to Jack Mortimer, Karen?" "Well, come on." "Invent something." "It shouldnt be so difficult." "Why dont you lie?" "Stop it, Claude, I've had enough." "Now leave me alone." "Karen." "Why do you have confidence in strangers instead of in me?" "Why do you want to leave me?" "Dont play games with me, Claude, I cant bear it." "I'm not playing any games." "It's so simple, Claude." "I've told you a thousand times." "I'm not happy." "I know it's hard living with me." "But there's never been a moment when I didnt need you." "Whatever I might have done or said." "You know that." "Well then..." "Why dont you talk to me like this more often?" "Darling I will." "If you stay with me I promise you I will." "Everything will be different." "There will be no more spying and no more suspicions." "Look." "This came for you from Jack Mortimer." "That's the message you were waiting for, isnt it?" "You see, I'm not afraid to show it to you." "Thank you." "Darling." "I dont want to know what you wrote to him." "And I dont want to know what your plans were," "There's just one thing you have to tell me." "And that is that we'll stay together." "Yes." "You wont see him?" "No." "You swear it?" "Yes, Claude." "Excuse me, Claude, but you're late." "They have already called twice, we've got to leave now." "Alright Kruger, get the car ready." "Alright." "I'll be home before midnight." "We'll see the New Year in together." "Yes, Claude." "What kind of a New Year would there be for me without you?" "What kind of a life?" "Darling..." "It will be a better year." "You'll see." "Where do you think you're driving?" "!" "You crazy nut." "Heintl!" "Heintl!" "Heh, come on, Heintl, open up!" "It's me, Toni, you've got to take the taxi!" "Do you want to go through the window?" "Or would you rather use my key?" "Hello Marie" "Hello" "Why so early?" "Car broke down?" "Guess again." "You broke down?" "You're getting warm." "Heintl." "Come on, wake up." "Time to go to work." "Heh, wake up." "Oh, no..." "Not again." "Stop it, Toni." "That's a three bottle case." "Water wont help." "I'll make some coffee." "Now tell me." "What's the trouble?" "No trouble." "I just decided to retire and live on my income." "Ah, stop joking and tell me what happened." "Nearly had an accident." "Some drunken fool in a hurry to get to the cemetery." "The police?" "No." "This time I was lucky." "He got away and I got away." "There were no police around." "Thank heaven." "It's Heintl I'm worried about." "The last time they told him if they catch him letting a man drive a cab without a license he'd lose his papers." "I wouldnt worry about Heintl, think about yourself." "It would have been jail again." "I dont mind the jail." "As a matter of fact, when you compare it to the rest of the world it has alot to recommend it." "It's quiet there." "Last time I was in I slept like a baby." "Since I'm out I cant sleep at all." "Because the springs of the sofa are broken." "No." "During the war I slept on the floor." "Even the bombing didnt disturb me." "It's something else." "A dream...every night the same." "I'm standing in front of some guy in a uniform." "His face is..." "Well, it's like the face of all presidents and generals and policemen together." "The uniform, buttons, brass, belts and decorations." "But no gun and no saber." "Just a sharp little pencil." "He points it at me and says very politely," "'What's your name, my boy?" "'" "I say, 'Tony Sponer, sir, with your permission.'" "He says," "'Now show me your papers, my boy.'" "And I start to sweat." "My heart begins to pound like crazy, I scream and wake up!" "You've got to eat, you've got to keep driving." "Sure." "Say, how much have you got?" "Approximately?" "Approximately I dont know." "Exactly, I have 82 shillings and 40 groschens." "Then we're in the same bracket." "Well that's enough for tonight." "We'll give ourselves a real New Years eve, what do you say?" "And what about tomorrow?" "Tomorrow?" "It's all taken care of." "Tomorrow morning bright and early I'm going to the police and say, 'Here I am, Toni Sponer.' '32 years old, 150 pounds but losing weight fast.'" "'Speak 3 languages fluently.'" "'Temporary visitor, United States, England, France, Czechoslovakia, and Austria.'" "'A proud possessor'" "'Of no permanent residence, no passport, but an interesting criminal record.'" "'Illegal entry, vagrancy, selling cigarettes without a permit.'" "'Driving a taxi without a permit, eating without a permit, sleeping without a permit."" "'Trying to earn a living without a permit.'" "'Here I am, dear police.'" "'A New Years gift wrapped in no permits.'" "'Do what you want with this dangerous individual.'" "Toni..." "I'm sorry." "Now I'm going to wake up my drunken benefactor and tell him to get moving." "Heintl?" "Heh Heintl?" "Heintl?" "Come on, wake up, wake up." "Good morning." "It's late in the afternoon but good morning." "Come on now, up you get." "Why up?" "Well because of Vienna." "You're needed." "Who needs me?" "Everyone." "Schubert, the Blue Danube, Strauss..." "Distinguished foreigners we have here." "The Americans, the Russians, the British, the French." "All the tourists in and out of uniform." "They need transportation." "Alright." "They need me, the molesters." "Where's my taxi?" "It's downstairs." "Here are the keys." "Happy New Year.." "Toni, how can you let him drive like that?" "He crash into the first lamppost he sees." "You stay here." "And have some coffee." "Uh-uh." "He has to be at the railroad station to meet the express." "The cab is assigned." "Oh, then you have to go." "Huh?" "You'll have to wait so long?" "Another couple of hours wont hurt you." "It gives me time to get dressed." "And to get him sober." "Please, Toni, just a couple of hours." "I feel lousy." "Okay Curly but this is the last time." "Thanks a million, Toni." "Evening paper, sir." "Thank you." "It's rather chilly in here." "Hm." "Would you like some tea?" "Oh dont bother." "Oh it's not bother at all." "It will be ready in a minute." "Alright, fine." "He's doing his books." "If you leave now, he wont notice." "What's the matter, darling?" "I'm afraid." "Oh nonsense." "In a day you will be in America and safe." "What can he do to you there?" "I dont know, but I'm afraid." "Claude never gives up anything that belongs to him, and" "And when he finds out that you had helped me" "Dont think about me." "Think about yourself." "You cant go on like that." "Come on, darling, come." "Thank you, Mona." "For everything." "And a better New Year, darling." "Ah, thank you." "Terribly stuffy in here." "We ought to open a window." "Excuse me, Mr. Kruger." "Yes?" "There's something I'd like to ask you." "Well?" "I know Mr. Manelli listens to you." "Well, what is it?" "Oh he was so angry with me about the telegram." "But what should I have done?" "Madam begged me to do it." "Alright, alright." "Next time she asks you something like that, go ahead." "Yes?" "But tell us about it first." "Please, your tea, Mr. Kruger." "Oh, thank you." "I'll open the window for you." "Hello." "Yes?" "Oh Mr. Manelli would like her to be at the concert." "I'll ask her, hold on." "Madam is asleep, I believe." "I'll just have to wake her." "Mrs. Manelli?" "Karen?" "!" "She has taken her passport." "Hello," "Hello, call Mr. Manelli to the phone." "Immediately." "It's very important." "I cant possibly disturb him now." "It's impossible, just impossible." "Alright, Mr. Kruger, I'll tell him." "Yes, yes as soon as I can." "That alright for you, Claude?" "Good; gentleman let's go back to D." "Mr. Kruger wants to know what he should do." "Nothing." "Oh wait a minute, tell him" "No, tell him I call him later." "That was much better." "Claude, please the last two bars of the cadenza." "From letter H." "Please?" "Do you have a reservation for Mr. Mortimer?" "Jack Mortimer?" "Yes." "He arrives on the 7 O'Clock train." "That's in half an hour if the train isnt late." "Where can I wait?" "Perhaps in the writing room?" "Thank you." "Claude?" "Oh, I'm sorry, I uh" "Tired?" "I have a slight headache." "It's nothing bad but I'd like to rest before the performance." "I think it's going fine." "Am I discharged?" "Of course, Claude." "Thank you very much, gentlemen." "This way, sir." "Hey, that's my car!" "Oh, alright, alright." "Follow me, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Funny way to spend New Years Eve." "[indecipherable]" "I said it's a funny way to spend New Years Eve." "Driver..." "Yes, ma-am?" "Take his suitcase into the office, please." "The big one." "You can rely on us, Mr. Mortimer." "Everything will be taken." "Have a very good trip and a happy New Year." "Okay, just a minute." "Thanks." "I'll send the tickets to the Golden Lion." "Two O'Clock plane, Frankfurt to New York." "Okay." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "The Golden Lion is a very comfortable hotel, sir." "I think you'll like it." "If you dont mind me saying so, you'll save yourself alot of time if you take a taxi to the airport instead of a bus." "If you like me to, I can ask my partner" "What's the matter, sir?" "Are you ill?" "Here, let me help you up." "Hey take it easy, will ya, something's happened to my passenger!" "Hey, what's going on there?" "Officer!" "Officer!" "I want to report" "Hey wait a minute, I've got to talk to you" "Keep on driving!" "You're blocking the traffic." "Waiter?" "Waiter?" "Where's the telephone?" "Right here, sir." "Police, 27nd District, speaking." "Police?" "I want to report a dead man." "Was it an accident?" "No, no accident" "What happened?" "Well I dont know exactly but he's dead." "What's your name?" "My name?" "What's my name got to do with it?" "!" "Look I just want to report" "Where are you speaking from?" "From here in a cafe." "And the block?" "I dont know the name of the street." "Just a minute, I'll find out." "Waiter, come here a minute please." "Yes, sir." "Immediately..." "Hello?" "The name of the street?" "Yes, yes, I'm trying to find out." "Where are you?" "No, no, not in the street, in a taxi." "A taxi?" "Yes, that's right." "What's your name?" "No, it's not my taxi, I'm only the driver." "The permit license?" "Well I..." "I dont know." "Well...my driving permit?" "Yes." "Well, well, my, my name is..." ""I the undersigned," "Secretary of State of the United States of America, hereby request all of whom it may concern to permit safely and freely to pass, and in case of need, to give all lawful aid and protection to" "Jack Mortimer, a citizen of the United States."" "Safely...freely...citizen." "In case you want to learn the telephone book by heart I wouldnt bother with the letter Q." "There are so very few customers." "Other people would like to phone too!" "I'm sorry!" "Double cognac, please." "Import or domestic?" "Domestic." "Uh-uh." "Shouldnt do that, friend." "Domestic brandy." "Two double-cognacs!" "French." "Courvoisier." "There's one thing I've learned on my trip." "In each country get the real stuff." "In Paris, cognac, champagne, and girls." "In Rome, spaghetti, chianti, and girls." "In America, steaks, washing machines - that's my business, and girls." "Come here, precious." "Meet the wife." "Dont be silly, Harry." "Leave the fellow alone." "Stay out of this, precious." "I'm using the diplomatic approach." "In Vienna, schnitzel, pastry and" "Girls." "Waltzes." "I fooled you that time, didnt I?" "Say, say can you dance a waltz?" "Sure he can waltz, Harry, but maybe he doesnt want to dance." "Come on, you diplomat." "Leave him alone." "Shut up, precious." "Heh Erving!" "Erving." "Put on that one that goes duh duh duh duh dum" "Okay Harry." "You see precious wants to dance a real Viennese waltz with a real Viennese." "Be a good fella and give her a whirl, huh?" "Are you the driver of the cab outside?" "Yes, why?" "You're wanted." "Heh!" "Heh, what do you want there?" "Oh!" "Here are you." "I thought you were sleeping it off in there." "Where, where in the..." "Door's broken." "Go over on the other side." "Oooh." "One side is taxi." "Why dont they fell, fellows..." "Coward!" "[dog barking] [dog barking]" "You should have smiled alittle." "But it will do." "Hurry it up, cant you?" "It takes time to dry." "And I have to copy the seal." "It's not so easy." "Very complicated." "I need it in 15 minutes." "You can get it in an hour." "Say." "Where are the dollars?" "Alright." "In half an hour." "Now let me work." "Something to amuse you." "It's called "Life in these United States."" "Very instructive for a new citizen." "Where have you been?" "I had some much trouble getting Heintl sober." "Let's call him before he starts all over again." "Marie." "What's the matter, Toni?" "Not here." "Something happened?" "Yes." "Yes, something has happened." "I have to leave Vienna tonight." "Leave Vienna?" "Where to?" "Listen Marie, I cant talk now, there's no time." "I'll come back in a couple of hours and say goodbye." "Put this with the rest of my things." "Where did you get this, Toni?" "Toni?" "What have you done?" "I got my chance." "For once in my life it came to me and I took it." "Dont worry." "Everything will be alright." "I'll see you later." "Sir?" "There should be an airplane ticket for me I believe." "Mortimer." "Jack Mortimer." "Oh Mr. Mortimer." "We had nearly given you up." "No, there's nothing for you for the moment." "Are you sure?" "Quite" "But your room is ready." "Number 14." "Would you kindly fill out this arrival form?" "Do I have to do that now?" "I'm afraid so; police regulations." "Your passport please." "Reception." "Oh yeah, yes, I'll send up the passport for you later." "Boy?" "!" "Yes." "Oh yeah..." "Excuse me, sir." "Here we are, sir." "Will that be all, sir?" "No, will you ask the desk to telephone the airline about my ticket immediately." "Right away, sir." "Millie." "Call the airline office and ask about the ticket for the gentleman in number 14." "He's waiting for it." "Mr. Mortimer, the gentleman who just arrived." "Jack Mortimer in number 14." "What are you waiting for?" "The airline office." "R49292." "Dont worry." "You'll get out in time for your party." "Who's there?" "May I see you for a moment?" "Excuse me, may I talk to you for a moment?" "What about?" "May I come in?" "Of course." "I'm sorry to disturb you but it's rather urgent." "Are you sure you havent the wrong room?" "This is number 14." "For whom did you want to talk to?" "Arent you Mr..." "Mr. Williams from New York?" "No, no, no." "My name is Mortimer." "Jack Mortimer." "I just arrived in Vienna." "I knew immediately you must have been mistaken." "I'm sorry." "No harm done." "Why do you say you are someone you're not?" "!" "Jack Mortimer happens to be an old friend of mine." "So you're a friend of his?" "Yes." "Very clever." "You've tricked me." "The truth is very simple." "You see Jack also happens to be a friend of mine." "He had to stay in Paris, and he knew that rooms were short here so he suggested that I use his reservation." "He stayed in Paris?" "But I got a telegram from Salzburg." "Well I really dont know." "Perhaps I misunderstood, you see, everything happened in such a hurry it was difficult for me to" "Excuse me a minute." "Yes?" "We called the airline, sir." "They say the tickets are on their way." "Good." "They'd like to know if there's any luggage on the other ticket." "For Mrs. Manelli." "No." "I have no luggage." "Thank you." "Why are you lying?" "Who are you?" "I " "I just told you." "You say you're a friend of Jack's." "Well he was coming here to see me, didnt he tell you that?" "You say he gave you permission to use his room, did he also give you permission to use his luggage?" "!" "Or do you have the same initials, perhaps?" "!" "And this is Jack's watch and... when did you steal all this, where is Jack?" "Listen to me, please be quiet, I tell you I didnt steal anything" "Where is he, what have you done with him?" "!" "He didnt give you these things, you robbed him, havent you?" "!" "You've robbed him and you..." "Come back here!" "My passport please, quick." "Your passport..." "I have forgotten to fill out the arrival form, just a moment please." "Wont take a moment." "What's the number- -400562" "How was that?" "Oh, what's the difference." "Around the corner." "There he is!" "Mr." "Mortimer?" "Yes, what is it?" "I'm sorry, you have to come with us." "There must be some horrible reason for all this, or he wouldnt say he was someone else and wouldnt have Jack's things!" "Dont excite yourself, Mrs. Manelli." "If anything happened to your friend we'll find out in no time." "If you'll excuse me for just one moment." "Sir?" "Would you mind coming here." "You say, uh, your name is Mortimer?" "Yes." "You arrived this evening?" "Yes." "May I see, uh, some identification?" "A passport will do." "Or dont you have it with you?" "Of course I have it." "Born the 2nd of April in...in..." "What's the name of the town?" "Spokane." "Washington." "Oh, that's right." "There's a state Washington, and then there's the Washington where they send all the the money from, it's very confusing." "Yes." "Well, did you reach him?" "Yes, I spoke to him..." "Hmm." "Well, it's not very regular, but uh..." "Alright." "Will you follow me, please." "Good evening, Inspector." "Good evening, Madam." "Happy to see you back so soon." "Mr. Manelli will be with you in just a few minutes, please." "You'll have to be patient for a few moments." "Ah, the end of the third movement." "It's a pity we didnt come sooner." "Karen" " I'm so glad you're back." "Your manager made the same charming remark." "Thank you, Claude." "We'll have our talk later." "Please wait in my dressing room." "I cannot tell you how grateful I am, Inspector." "I wont forget it." "I called you the moment I got the report that Mrs. Manelli" "Claude, they are going crazy, you must go out." "Oh, just a moment." "What's all this about?" "Why have you brought me here?" "Will you kindly follow me, gentlemen." "I'm alittle worried about this American." "We had to bring him in for interrogation." "Now he might make trouble." "I understand." "Ask the gentleman to come in, will you please." "Perhaps it's better if I talk to him myself." "I think I can settle the matter." "Mr. Mortimer?" "Yes." "My name is Manelli." "I'm the husband of the lady who brought all this inconvenience on you." "I must explain to you, she is not really responsible." "It's my fault." "What do you mean?" "I'm not only her husband." "I'm also her legal guardian, and fully responsible for her actions." "My wife...is ill...she..." "You see, she imagines things." "Sometimes her stories arent very plausible." "And so she involves innocent people in her private fantasies." "Innocent people like yourself." "Many times I've been advised to send her away to some..." "Institution." "But before she became ill our marriage was very happy." "If you ever have loved someone you will understand." "Please accept my apologies." "Of course." "I didnt know." "And Mr. Mortimer I hope you'll forgive me too." "Being a great admirer of Mr. Manelli," "I wanted to avoid a scandal." "I should never have arrested you." "It's alright." "Perfectly alright." "Karen!" "Isnt this always locked?" "I opened it for Mrs. Manelli just now a minute ago." "Where's the corridor lead?" "It's a fire exit." "It leads to the rear of the building." "Thanks." "Dont worry, we'll find her in no time." "Thank you, Inspector, I dont want the police looking for her." "She'll come home on her own." "Kruger." "I'm sorry about all this." "Inspector, may I go now?" "Sure." "Must you?" "I was hoping you'd be my guest after the concert." "I've just one more piece to play, a little Chopin." "Wouldnt you like to hear it?" "Well, thank you very much, but I'm leaving Vienna tonight." "Perhaps some other time." "Oh well then of course, you're in a hurry." "So I can only thank you once more for your understanding." "Goodbye Mr. Mortimer, and godspeed." "Goodnight." "Have a good trip." "Oh, my passport, you forgot to give me my passport." "Your passport, of course." "That would have been awful." "It's not so easy to get one." "Goodnight." "May I wish you a Happy New Year now." "Thank you." "Can I have my key please?" "Oh Mr. Mortimer, you didnt lock your door when you left." "I wouldnt do that." "Has my ticket arrived from the airline yet?" "Just after you left." "Didnt you get it?" "The lady said she would give it to you." "What lady?" "The lady." "She was here earlier." "Mrs. Manelli." "You gave it to her?" "!" "The tickets was in her name." "Shouldnt I have done it?" "Where is she now?" "She just left a minute ago." "Mr. Mortimer?" "Yes?" "The lady left a message for you." "The place is my idea." "It's where I always take my girlfriends." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Good evening, sir." "1.50 please." "She'll be right here." "Good evening, sir." "Just follow me." "Give me your hand." "In here." "We have a beautiful program." "On the banks of the Ganges." "Here is your place, sir." "Thank you." "Enjoy yourself." "I knew you wouldnt give up that airplane ticket." "You're very anxious to leave, arent you?" "I need that ticket." "Give it to me." "You'll get it when you tell the truth." "What do you want to know?" "Did my husband tell you I was out of my mind?" "He said you often...imagine things." "You should know better." "Should I?" "My husband accepted you as Mortimer- why?" "Why shouldnt he?" "Because he knows Jack Mortimer as well as I do." "Jack is dead, isnt he?" "Yes." "He was killed in my taxi, I drive a taxi, that's what I do." "I picked him up at the station and" "Please...give me a moment." "We'll talk in a moment." "Dont miss the pictures, we're closing soon." "Thing I cant understand is if you had nothing to do with this, why do you help the murderer?" "I'm not helping anyone except myself." "You're pretending to be someone you're not." "My husband didnt give you away- why?" "I'm not a detective, I dont know why he didnt." "Jack Mortimer came to Vienna." "If you leave Vienna, he leaves too." "And as far as the police here are concerned there never will have been a crime." "I see, and that's what your husband wants." "Yes." "Because he killed Jack Mortimer." "It's 11 O'Clock, sorry we're closing." "Happy New Year." "Happy New Year." "Dont miss our new program." "It's very exciting." "Arent you a new customer?" "I hope you will come again." "Just get the habit." "Everyone likes to see foreign places and imagines he too can go there." "Happy New Year, Happy New Year." "Of course, some come just because it's dark." "Hello Honey, are you going our way?" "Tough luck, let's go." "I must talk to you some more, where can we go?" "Come with me." "It's ruined, and it was perfectly new when I took the taxi." "I had compliments on it all evening." "It's so new it's not even paid for." "I dont know what these spots are." "But they look like blood." "No, wait a moment." "Who do you think I'm carrying in my taxi?" "Pigs?" "It's probably red wine." "It does look like blood." "How do you explain it, Heintl?" "I dont know!" "Maybe it's lipstick!" "How long have you been driving tonight?" "That's my first load." "I sure will be happy when this year's over." "Didnt we have you in here a couple months ago for letting a man drive for you without a license?" "Why should I do that?" "Come on." "Didnt you have trouble with us before?" "Sins I can remember." "What's the name of the man?" "I dont know." "Come on, what's the name?" "I dont know." "Alright." "It will take a second to find out." "You should leave as fast as you can." "Once you are far away you will know the right thing to do." "Toni..." "When you get to America couldnt the police find you just the same?" "No." "Once I'm there I can change my name." "Noone will be able to find me." "Oh, I'll get along alright." "Dont forget I lived there as a child." "Then I would use this passport." "See how happy he is to get out of here." "It's all because of this window." "What do you mean?" "Well, his father was a professor." "They had a big house." "The windows looking out on a garden or even a park." "So every time he looks at this, he just thinks, 'How can I get a better view?" "'" "Dont you?" "Why?" "I look at it and think," "'How can I get decent curtains up here?" "'" "'Get new springs in this sofa?" "'" "And sit on it with the right kind of man." "Then I'd love the view." "Marie is right." "We should leave." "We?" "Yes." "You still have the tickets." "The plane takes off at 2 O'Clock." "Your husband will never think we're leaving together, he look for you everywhere but at the airport." "What time does the bus leave?" "In an hour." "Good." "Do you know the New Year starts in 5 minutes?" "Look at this, Toni." "I was afraid I would have to drink it all alone." "Now I'm going to share it with you." "So you owe me 30 shillings." "That's only fair." "For you both." "A safe trip." "And for you the kind of view you want." "Marie..." "Happy New Year." "Oh look!" "They're looking for you!" "Come on." "Up the stairs, quickly." "Marie" "Go!" "...go." "[Police] Where is he?" "[Police] Does a certain Toni Sponer live there?" "[Landlady]" "Yes." "[Police]" "Thank you." "We are looking for a man named Sponer." "Toni Sponer." "Yes, he lives here." "Why, what's he done?" "Where is he?" "I dont know." "We had a date." "He had to see the New Year in." "But he stood me up." "So I'm getting drunk all by myself." "Happy New Year!" "Wait." "Come on." "Come on." "Stand back." "Now." "Get out of my way." "Dont worry." "We'll be able to get out of this cellar." "It's so quiet here." "Well, bet those have stopped." "It's the begining of a new year." "Do you realize we've been running for two years." "Watch out." "It's alright, come on." "Oh no please, I'm so tired." "Cant we stay here 'til time for our bus?" "Let me have a look and see." "We can be very comfortable." "Sit over there." "Karen..." "Dont be afraid." "Everything's going to be alright." "I am afraid." "Because now for the first time I really believe I might escape." "You know it's funny." "Everything your husband said sounded so..." "So plausible." "I know." "He can be the kindest, warmest, most charming man I've ever known." "We met on my first trip to Europe." "I was alone." "My parents died when I was four." "Married after one month." "And I was happy." "For one week." "And then?" "A cat and mouse game." "No win, no respite, day and night." "Claude has one overwhelming love." "Himself." "This love is like a religion, it's god asks for human sacrifices." "[male] Well I'm going to have a look in the cellar [female] It wasnt in there." "[male] I'm sure they are." "I've seen them there myself." "[singing, hiccupping]" "We better get out of here." "What is it?" "What's the matter?" "Come on over here." " Here." " Here." "What's the matter?" "Oh I dont know." "It's a rock or something." "Let me have a look." "You got a nail in there." "It's alright." "Just rest awhile, I'll fix it." "Tell me." "Why havent you left your husband before this?" "Oh I did leave him...so many times." "Every time he got me back, every time I believed again until at the end I was near suicide." "There was a doctor." "A friend of Claude's, his most fervent admirer." "He was the one who had me declared..." "Not responsible." "Ever since then it's been just a simple choice." "Claude's love or an institution." "Come on, Mitzi, there's noone here." "No, Hansi, take me home." "Look, 5 minutes..." "No, I am late already." "Whom do you love more, your mother or me?" "You are so different." "Come on, make up your mind." "Mother." "Well," "The situation was full of danger." "But not for us." "What time is it?" "My watch has stopped." "Must be close to 1." "Dont you have Jack's watch?" "Listen." "Quarter to 1." "Well, we've still got time." "Who was Jack Mortimer?" "Something very rare." "A real friend." "We grew up together." "The last time I saw him was at my wedding, he was our best man." "At the station after the wedding he let this watch chime." "And he said 12 O'Clock, the 29th of September." "Will you remember what I tell you now?" "And I laughed and said I would until the end of my life." "And he said," "Whenever you need me give me a ring and I'll come." "Claude was making a tour of Australia and I said it's very expensive to call from Australia." "He gave me a kiss and said just reverse the charges." "I called him two weeks ago." "It's my last." "We'll have to share it." "She isnt?" "Are you sure?" "Well maybe I've got the wrong name." "She's slim, blonde, and she's wearing a brown coat." "Quite sure." "Well thank you very much." "Well?" "Try another." "Call every hotel." "I've already called dozens, and there hundreds more in Vienna." "Never mind." "I must find her." "Hotel Savoy." "Is a lady named Mrs. Manelli registered with you?" "Manelli like the pianist." "Oh, thank you." "Wait a minute." "This fellow." "He said he was going to leave tonight." "What?" "But Karen is not going to travel with a man she thinks a criminal." "Anyway you dont know how he was going to leave - by car, train, plane?" "Get me the police inspector." "Claude." "This is pure madness." "Leave the police out of it." "I dont care." "Listen, Claude." "Karen doesnt love you anymore." "That's finished." "Let her go." "I cant." "Perhaps I could have yesterday but not now." "Too much has happened." "Psst." "Listen, is there a passenger booked on this plane named Mortimer?" "He didnt cancel his reservation?" "He didnt cancel his reservation?" "Not that I know of." "Is there any message for the gentleman?" "No." "Thank you." "Thank you, Mr. Moymum." "Mr. Von Sweeten..." "Thank you." "Alright, Mr. Yelonick." "Thank you, Mr. Mortimer." "Mr. Mortimer?" "Yes?" "I come from the Lion." "The what?" "!" "From the Golden Lion." "Oh you mean the hotel." "Didnt you forget something?" "My suitcase!" "Mmm-hmm." "There it is." "Thank you." "Just a moment." "First there is the little matter of the bill." "75 shillings." "Yes, of course." "You know it's not much of a way to spend New Years Eve." "Lugging a suitcase to the airport and one has to leave one's family." "I'm sorry." "This ought to take care of it." "Oh, thank you, that's too much." "May I wish you a Happy New Year." "Let me offer you a cigarette, an Austrian one." "Thanks." "And now your suitcase." "Here it is." "I wish you a Happy New Year." "Same to you." "And do come again." "Madam," "It's been 5 years since you've been to the United States." "I'm afraid you have to have a vaccination certificate." "At the First Aid station." "Where's that?" "Right over there." "You had $600 with you, Mr. Mortimer." "How much have you got left?" "Most of it." "That's too bad." "We like visitors to spend their dollars here." "But you've only had a short visit." "So you'll be excused, if you promise to spend more next time." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Pleasant trip." "May I have the passport please?" "Alright, darling." "Come on." "This must be it here." "There's nobody here." "Claude." "Good evening." "Or should I say good morning?" "Say whatever you want." "What is this?" "A trap?" "Just a friendly hint not to interfere with things that dont concern you." "You're not leaving, Karen" "The trip wouldnt be good for your health." "It cant be good for her health to be left in the company of a murderer." "You shouldnt use big words like that." "You probably dont believe them yourself." "Maybe the police will believe them." "Will they?" "Let's see." "Kruger, would you be so kind and ask the police inspector to come in here." "Now get one thing into your head." "Anybody who comes between me and my wife had better watch out." "I realize that." "And just what should I do in your opinion?" "It's a very simple choice." "Either you leave with all my good wishes, or a certain taxi driver will be convicted of killing and robbing Jack Mortimer." "Please leave, Toni, you must leave." "Nobody believes me." "Nobody will believe you." "Hello, Mr. Mortimer." "Nice seeing you once more." "[announcer] Flight number 72, Frankfurt, New York." "Passengers, please board the plane." "Isnt that your plane, Mr. Mortimer?" "[announcer] Flight number 72" "Frankfurt, New York." "Passengers please board the plane." "Yes, that's my plane." "[announcer] Flight number 72, Frankfurt, New York," "Passengers please board the plane." "Mr." "Mortimer?" "Yes." "Will you hurry along, please." "I'm not going." "[announcer] Flight number 72, now leaving Vienna." "[announcer] Flight number 72, now leaving Vienna." "Mr. Mortimer!" "You'll miss your plane." "Have you forgotten something?" "Inspector, I want you to arrest me." "Arrest you?" "Yes." "For falsifying a passport." "For stealing someone's identity and for aiding a murderer." "What are you talking about?" "A murder." "Of Jack Mortimer murdered by him." "By Mr. Manelli" "Do you know what he's talking about?" "I suppose he's repeating one of my wife's fantasies." "Or perhaps he's accusing me of something he has done himself." "You knew I was an imposter, why didnt you give me away?" "You knew the real Jack Mortimer, didnt you?" "I never knew anyone named Mortimer before." "If I did, I dont remember." "You dont remember the Best Man at your own wedding?" "He was your Best Man, wasnt he?" "Or is this too a fantasy?" "I havent the slightest idea what he's talking about." "Alright." "In this suitcase which I took from the man you killed is a photograph of you and your wife at your wedding." "Together with Jack Mortimer." "Do you remember now?" "This man is obviously insane." "Show me the picture." "I will." "The chase is over." "For him and for me." "What will happen to you?" "Nothing special." "If I'm lucky I'll only get a few months." "After that I'll be right back where I started." "Well it looks like we both get our wish." "You wanted to get away and you will." "I wanted to go to jail." "And I will." "Only now I'm not so eager anymore." "When will you be leaving?" "I'm not leaving, Toni." "I'll be here."
