"The Vengeance of Doctor Mabuse" "Everything's in order, you can go." "I'll see you later" "And that's why I've called you." "I've got my hands on some particles." "From the rocks brought back from the moon." "And after examination I've discovered a radioactive metalloid in them." "If treated in ray form, it could give our research sensational results." "It's inter-magnetic power is such... that a person subjected to it's projection is controllable at a distance," "and they will blindly obey whatever orders they receive." "Thrilling indeed, even if it were true, which I don't doubt, we still need those rocks." "They'll soon be in our possession." "Come." "Take a seat." "Now watch the screen." "At this moment they're being transported by the Tampa Planetary Base." "It isn't well guarded because that group of ignorants have no idea of the immense value of the new material." "The sleeping gas will suffice to allow us to exchange the rocks for others we've prepared, identical in appearance." " What's going on?" " I don't know, I'll go and check." "Everything has gone as planned." "They will eventually notice there was a switch." "Within a month, when they return to the lunar institute, but it will be too late by then." "It's strange what that mist did to me." "I fell asleep." " What could it be?" " I don't know, drive carefully." "And now, with the help of this fabulous metalloid, no one will be able to stop us." "I'll be able to continue my experiments but my chances of success will be much greater." " Don't you think so?" " Yes." "I'll finally build my army, an army of robots!" "Controlled to do our bidding, directed by our brains." "I'll recoup my power, and with it..." "we'll own the worlds fate." "I always said you were a genius, Farkas." "I am absolutely certain you will pull this off." "If that's true..." "I ask for your help." "Yes Hermann, because you're the only man capable of understanding the value of my discovery." "And I need your help." "The guy with Leslie is named Andros, he's the victim and testimony of my failure... that won't be repeated." " Everything's gone as planned, doctor." " Thank you Leslie." "Remember..." "Bring her back alive." "Andros!" "Andros!" "John!" "John!" "John..." " Johnny!" " What..." "Johnny, you have to do something." "None of that tonight." "Perfect." "Let's commence the experiment, Hermann." "Connect the infuser ray." "Done." "Now you will have the pleasure of becoming the first being of the new era." "Leslie, give me her stats." "Helen Coleman, 24 years old, single." "She lives alone in the outskirts, nobody will miss her." "I hope it goes well." "Science and myself need this!" "Listen..." "You will obey me in everything!" "I order you!" "Stand up!" "You must do what I say." "Come on...get up." "Obey at once." "Get up!" "I demand it!" "You can't?" "I fear the ray has frazzled her brain." "Andros, make her disappear." " What's wrong, are you embarrassed?" " No, it's not that..." "So you're only embarrassed to kiss me?" "I should be careful, I'm new here, I've just been elected..." "I don't want to give people a reason to talk." "Of course, then everyone'll know I'm rich and you're broke." "Yes..." "I'm fed up." "You should be glad one of us has money." "I'm fed up with the whole world looking at me like some strange bug in this dusty place." "Well then let's change the subject, will you come for me later?" " Say you'll come." " Fine." "But tell me, what have I done for you to be in this mood?" "Nothing..." "I'm sorry Wanda, it's just this situation makes me nervous." "Okay then...forgive me?" "Of course." "Here, put it on your desk, it'll improve the ambience." "Goodbye." "Put it on the desk, it'll improve the ambience." " Did I hear you correctly, inspector?" " Of course you did." "Life is beautiful, put a smile on that face!" "Why don't you find a nice girl and get married, huh?" "Well I would love to, but my wife wouldn't." " Are you married?" " No, not at the moment." "Now I understand why you're happy." "Any news?" "If you think that Judge Crosby asking for you five times, then yes." " What did you tell him, Malou?" " That you'd see him when you return." "Sir, why don't you sleep a little before continuing?" "Sleep..." "I can't sleep now." "I have in my hands a great power, I must work without rest." "I shall create...my army of beings without will power." "That will obey me!" "And... when I accomplish this," "I'll destroy the old arcane civilization and create a new one!" "This will be my vengeance!" "Professor, you know how loyal I am..." "I've always obeyed your orders, without the slightest objection... you know this, that's why I dare to ask you this question." "What is it?" "Something I've suspected for a while, and I want you to confirm it, the secret behind that vengeance..." " Have you heard of Dr Mabuse?" " Yes," "Some years ago..." "he wanted world domination, but failed...they say he had scientific, occult powers." " A crazy bum." " Is that a crazy bum?" "They conspired to destroy his science!" "The scientists, the police, all of them!" "But they made a mistake..." "What do you mean?" "Mabuse didn't die?" "He had to disappear." "But he continued in the shadows, planning his ambitious projects!" "That will soon be reality." "I want you to know..." "That Mabuse and I are the same man." "My vengeance is nigh, soon the entire world will fear and admire me at the same time!" "Haven't you thought that the police might find you?" "A woman has died today, a victim of your experiments." "They won't find us." "No one can imagine that Mabuse is alive." "Only we know of this place," "And there's no reason to tie us with the disappearance of that woman." "I can think of at least one person that would find what happened suspicious," "Dr Orloff." "He could also have discovered the poly-magnetism." "No one else in the world... could come so close to your experiments." "We must kill him." "Tell me Hermann..." "will you continue with me, in spite of failure?" "Mabuse, you know I admire your science but I don't agree with your methods." "I prefer not to mix science with personal ambitions, but this interests me, and in the name of science I'll remain by your side." "Inspector, a lady wants to see you." "Who is she?" "I don't know her name, she says she's a music hall artist, claims she saw the girl being kidnapped that went missing the other night." " Alright, have her come in." " Okay, you asked for it...huh?" "Come in, young lady." "Hello," " Wow, it's so hot today." " Have a seat." "You're name, miss?" "Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny, it's friendlier." "Jennifer what?" "Paganini, well that's my husbands name, but he isn't my husband, even though we say so, but we remain free in case we get tired of each other," "I hope he doesn't tire of me first because I'm a whirlwind of passion, maybe that's why he'll get tired!" "Paganini, he's so stingy..." "Paganini, if I remember correctly was a celebrated violinist" " Oh yeah!" "He's not a violinist, but I'll tell you today he's just a celebrated erection." "Will you just tell me your last name?" "Ah, my fathers last name was Herring, he's not my real father, but if I use his name it's because people say that my father was an Earl, so that makes me a Countess..." " Excuse me ma'am..." " Yes?" " Please be more specific..." " That's exactly what I'm doing." "Profession?" "Artist." "Can't you tell?" " You mean you're a singer?" " Ha!" "How nice of you, singers have such a good time." "I work at a cabaret as a frivolous ballerina." "And what does that mean?" "A frivolous ballerina doesn't sing or dance, but shows a little of this and that, the more you show the more you make." "And how much do you make ma'am?" "A lot." "Yes, and where do you work?" "I'm debuting at a new cabaret this Monday." "It's a new place, very fine and elegant." "Great, and what's this place called?" "The Red Garter." "Where were you the night of the crime?" "What crime?" "I mean the night of the incident." "Oh that..." "I was lying down." "Yes, sleeping?" "I'll tell you one thing, I was with John, I hope that answers your question." "If you want to know the rest you'll have to use your imagination..." "Imagine it?" "Not interested." "Am I exciting you, inspector?" "Yes, but not in the way you think, please answer, yes or no!" "Fine, but you're missing out." "Agreed." "Now, is it true you saw that lady when she was kidnapped?" " Yes." " And the kidnapper?" " Yes." " Were they on the road?" " Yes." "And at that moment you were at the window?" "I was laying down like I told you, when I heard these horrific screams," "Johnny's kind of deaf and didn't hear, but I was frightened to death," "I looked through the window and saw a monstrous man carrying a zonked out girl like this..." "Well!" "What rubbernecking police..." "Continue, what happened then?" "Then they left and disappeared in the darkness." "Is that all?" "No, I asked Johnny to do something but he took it the wrong way." "Poor boy, he was so tired for intimate reasons, but he managed it once more." "What time was it when you saw him?" "Well, we went to bed around ten." "John had been away and we were both very hungry, as you can imagine." "First we did this, then that, and then the other, about 1:30." "Thank you." "What is that, Andros?" "You were ordered to get rid of the body." "To not leave a trace!" "You've disobeyed, Andros." "The professor won't be happy!" "You'll regret it." "Leave!" "Get away from here!" "Can't you hear me?" "!" " Good evening ma'am." " Hello." "Why do we keep waiting?" "I feel like we're wasting our time." "What would you like to drink?" "Peppermint frappé." "Why not a bottle of champagne?" "We have a special brand that I'm sure you'll love." "Great idea!" "Please..." "Tell the girl, Jennifer, I'd like to see her." "I'm a panther!" "I'm a tiger!" "A loving cat..." " You wanted to see me?" " That's why I called you." "I generally don't see women." "That's all very well, but I'm not a woman." " Oh no, then what are you?" " A manager." "And why would I need a manager?" "Every artist needs one." "How interesting... do you want to offer me a contract?" "That's what I was thinking." "Okay, I'll accept on one condition, no less than three months and 100 daily." "You're not stupid and pardon the circumstances, but sure, I accept." "Get the contract, let's sign it at once!" "I don't have it here, we'll have to go to my office." "Well when I finish my second act..." "Why not now?" "We'll only be half an hour, my car's waiting outside, we'll be back at once." " Only half an hour, right?" " Don't worry." "We don't have any other leads." "Hopefully all this waiting pays off." "So why don't we go inside and watch one of those stripteases?" "Hey...aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "That's just a load of debauchery." " Goodnight." " Goodbye." "Look, it's the girl with a strange woman..." "I don't see anything strange, all I see is an average pansy." "They're leaving!" "What?" "A good runner?" "It's a fiasco!" "You call this a car?" "It's been running for twenty years without a hitch." "Twenty years?" "Worth a hundred dollars..." "time to retire it, huh?" "It only goes one speed, it's slower than a turtle!" "If I had known..." "Slow you say?" "Before you know it it's going sixty!" "Life...oh my life..." "Do we still have long to go?" "No, we're almost there." "Don't you trust your manager?" "Yes, of course, yes." "That's what you should do." "It sounds like we're in an aeroplane..." "I think you've had too much to drink." "No, no way, I knock back two or three bottles everyday like nothing." "But I don't know what's happened to me today." "All I had was one drink." "Step on it!" "Faster?" "If I go any faster the headlights will fall off." "Exactly what I was afraid of." "This can only be one of two things." "What are they?" "Either I blew out a tire or I blew out the engine, I'll go and check." "No big deal, I'll fix this up at once!" "Get out, we're here." " Your office is here?" " Yes, it's a commercial building." "Wow, how beautiful!" "So many shops... and they're almost all empty." "So much glass!" "Where are you?" "Don't hide!" "Leslie!" "Where are you?" "Leslie..." "Leslie..." "Leslie!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Leslie!" "Let me go!" "Hey, there they are!" "They're following us." "Shoot, Andros!" "They're getting away, dammit!" " See how safe it is!" " Yes, I see..." "Get out of there." " Hello, uncle!" " Hello!" "What are you doing here?" " Professional secrecy." " Oh professional secrecy..." "You never keep secrets from me, tell me why you're here." "Very well I'll tell you, but promise you'll be discrete." "I assume you've seen the physics expo at the institute in Tampa?" "Um..no, I pass my time here in Fresno." "Well I have." "I came to see the lunar rocks." "A scientific investigation?" "Not exactly, it's more a job for your friend, the inspector." "I want to confirm if the rocks are authentic." " Would you like to speak to Thomas?" " Mm." "You haven't met him have you?" "I don't know why, I thought you already knew him...but you don't." "No, although I think we'll meet sooner than I thought." "These waters don't seem to have a single fish." "Maybe we've already eaten them all..." "But this issue with nourishment is getting harder every day." "Look Carlos, who might have lost this?" "It's new...how strange." "If it were summer I'd say it belonged to a bather, but I don't think anyone's bathing in this weather." "Either way it's been in the water for three or four days at most." "If I was Inspector Holmes I'd investigate if the owner of these was at the bottom, drowned or perhaps murdered, but I'm not so let's leave it to dry." "Maybe we can get something for it, huh?" "See Carlos?" "God is great, he squeezes but he doesn't choke!" "Hey, don't eat it right away!" "We already know you have to wait at any official's office..." "Calm down, don't be nervous." "Hey, that guy's been waiting more than two hours." "What do you want?" " To see the boss." " What boss?" " Aren't you the boss?" " No I'm not, I'm an inspector." "Aren't you in charge of the case with the missing girls?" " Yes, why?" " I want to talk to you." " Have a seat...please." " Thank you." " Hey, does the dog bother you?" " Of course not." " Thank you, may I?" " Sure." "Malou!" "What have you found out about the black car?" "I stayed in the office all day, I wasn't about to leave this guy here alone." "Well then let's find it!" "Telegraph Tampa, give them the details and have them tell us what they find!" "Alright, alright, alright..." "Please put the lighter back..." " Sorry..." " It's a family heirloom." "Your name?" "Sultan." "I asked for your name, not the dog's." "Sultan is my name." "The dog's name is Carlos." "It used to be the other way around." "He was Sultan and I was Carlos, but that was too vulgar so we changed it." "He agrees with whatever I say." "When I proposed the change, he agreed, and that's how it stayed." "Last names?" "I don't have one." "Write down "orphan"." "Well whatever then." "Profession?" "Nocturnal Agent." "What's that?" "Kind of like a watchman," "I watch the gas refinery at night so nobody steals anything, understand?" "So you patrol so that nobody steals?" "Hey, don't get like that over five stinking smokes I've stolen..." "If you open your cigarette box and offer, then you run that risk." "You never said "only take one"." "Alright, alright..." "Continue." "I think I'll leave that job soon, the pay stinks and I prefer to be free, travel the world!" "So what did you want to tell me?" "Ah, yes, yes..." "I've followed the story of those missing girls in the paper, not that I buy the paper, but I read the shreds I find at the trash dump." "You see...while on duty..." "As a trash man or agent?" "An agent..." "I was guarding the abandoned lighthouse, and lately there's been a lot of people going in and out, you can even hear screaming and strange noises." "Last night, Carlos woke me up and we went snooping around." "We heard someone saying things like "Don't cover her mouth."" "They were talking to someone we couldn't see." "Then this morning, we were fishing, and we caught a good one!" "Extraordinary!" "And what does that have to do with this case?" "The fish, nothing, but this does..." "What is it?" "If you want it, give me something." "What do you want for it?" "The cigarette box!" "Agreed." "Here." "What's this?" "Well, not that I think I'm a genius but it's women's underwear, just look at it." "So, if I were in your position I'd prove it belonged to one of those girls." "Where are you going with this?" "Me?" "Nowhere...but I think he dumps their bodies in the river or the ocean." " Let's go Carlos, this guy's clueless." " Hey wait a minute," " I left my tobacco..." " And you took my lighter." "Well that's true..." "Forgive me, you have a good eye." "That's what they pay me for." "Yes, sir." "Goodbye and thank you for everything, if I need you, I'll be back." "What do I do with this testimony, file it or throw it away?" " Archive it." "I don't know why." "Hermann... give it more power." "Eighteen, nineteen... twenty, twenty one... twenty two." "Continue." "No." "Leave her alone, Farkas" "Yes, I know it's dangerous but I don't care!" "Give it more power, Hermann." "We must succeed this time at all costs." "Continue!" "Can't you hear me, Hermann?" "Give it more power!" "That's it..." "That's good." "Listen, Jenny..." "You will obey me," " Right?" " Yes." "Very good." "You will do everything I tell you to." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "What do you know about your girlfriend's disappearance?" "Well not much inspector, this is the first time she didn't come home after work." "I believe she was drinking with this woman she left with between her two acts," "It must have been twelve, after that nobody saw her again." "Shut it!" "Continue." "Despite the disappearance..." "She's very formal, I assure you." " And where were you?" " When she disappeared?" "At home waiting for her, like I do almost every night." "I listen to some music," "I read something, I keep busy until she comes home." "I don't wait for her at work, because sometimes... she has to see a client, and I don't..." "But don't you know there's danger in confidence?" "What if this time she spent more time than usual with the client..." "No, she wouldn't." "She would never do something like that." "Surely they've kidnapped her like our neighbour... in retaliation for talking to the police." "Malou, go with Mr Paganini to the cabaret." "Find out what you can and give me a detailed report." "Alright, let's go." "Excuse the strangeness of this meeting, but we must behave with extreme caution." "Yes sir." "As director of the Nuclear Centre, you are responsible for the lunar rocks." "Dr Orloff has proof that the rocks at this facility are fakes." "They must have been exchanged before they were in our possession," "I assure you we haven't neglected them at any moment." "We must act swiftly and ask for assistance from the FBI." "I would hate for the Pentagon to think there was negligence on my part, but I believe you're right." "Don't worry about what they think, when we find the culprits, they themselves will be convinced." "But imagine for a moment if the culprit was never found." "He'll be found." "The important thing now is to not let the news spread, it could bring about fatal consequences." "Yes sir." "Hello..." "How did you get in here?" "It's a mystery, Mr Parkinson." "Well then..." "Pardon me but, I don't remember where I know you from." "Nowhere, we haven't met before." "Yes, then how do you know my name?" "Tell me, what do you want from me?" "That's another mystery." "Somebody sent you, right?" "Dr Mabuse." "Parkinson..." "Parkinson..." "Listen, you're under my power." "I order you to destroy the rocks and suspend the investigation immediately." "Obey." "Hello." "This is Parkinson." "Suspend the investigation immediately and destroy the rocks." "Contact the Pentagon and tell them we've verified dangerous levels of radiation." "This case should be closed." "Andros..." "Andros, are you listening?" "You have a job to do." "Go to a place known as Point Virginia." "One of our men will be waiting for you." "You will go in the car with him." "Dr Orloff has hidden the evidence against us in a safe in Section B." "If it's released they will start to suspect us..." "The investigation would be ruined without it." "We must destroy it." "Professor, I was thinking..." "Even if Orloff's evidence is in our possession, the threat isn't over." "Don't worry, it'll all be over soon." "This very night." "As you know I was put in charge of the lunar rocks by the FBI." "The order to suspend the investigation has come as a great surprise." "I've spoken to Mr Parkinson," "I've asked him to come here with me and explain to you what happened." "You may begin to explain, tell him everything that happened." "Well, what happened..." "The truth is I don't understand," "I was forced to act under a magnetic force of a malign and powerful brain... but I don't know, I don't remember a thing." "I don't know what happened, it's as if they erased my memory." "When I awoke I had a terrible headache." "Tell the professor what your last memories from yesterday were." "My last memories were... meeting a woman in a room at the institute." "She inexplicably appeared before me, even though those rooms are off limits to everybody who doesn't work there." "What did you do after seeing her, did she tell you how she got in?" "Of course I asked her." "But that's the last thing I remember." "Gentlemen, I still can't be sure, but I believe we're dealing with a long distance magnetic manipulative force," "The hypnotist works directly with his subject as he normally would, but in this strange case... it seems the force has been transmitted through a third person acting under the influence of the hypnotist." "Although you've seen it before on stage and in circuses...that isn't real." "In reality there is only one man in the world..." "Only one man I know of that has that mysterious power." "Give me his name and I'll arrest him even if it costs me my job." "Give me 24 hours." "Who are you, what do you want?" "What's the matter professor?" "Afraid of a woman?" "Uncle." "Uncle!" "What's happened?" "It's been 24 hours since Orloff was murdered!" "And what have you found?" "Nothing!" "Please have some faith in me, I believe I've found a good lead." "Pardon me for doubting you, you've been saying the same thing since you arrived and have had no success!" "True, but I'll change your mind if you let me work it out my way." "I'm certain Orloff's death and the missing girls are related," "I'll prove it very soon!" "Agreed." "I'm giving you another 48 hours, but not one more!" "If by then you haven't solved it, don't bother showing up again, it won't be necessary!" "Very well, but if I solve it you'll have to apologise to me!" "Dismissed." "Yes, yes, I'll tell him." "It's that vagabond with the dog, he wants to talk to you." "No..." "I want to be left alone!" "What's wrong with the world, everyone's nervous!" "The boss came by barking orders." "Speak." "This is agent Taylor from the mobile surveillance unit with an update." "We've lost Miss Orloff and her captors' trail." "Her tire tracks led us to very dangerous terrain near the coast, and that's where the tracks completely disappear." "You've searched the surrounding area?" " Yes sir." " And there's nothing in sight?" "No sir, only an abandoned lighthouse." "Okay." "We've lost Wanda's tracks." "Here she is." "Wanda Orloff..." "The niece of my nemesis, she'll become a mobile instrument of my power." "Prepare everything, Hermann." "Right away." "Take her to her cell." "Please...help me get out." "Who are you?" "Why are you locked up in here?" "Run away from here..." "Please call the police!" "Andros." "Andros!" "Andros..." "What are you doing here?" "Take her to the experimentation room." "Right away!" "Andros!" "Didn't you hear her?" "Come now...obey." "Obey!" "Obey!" "That girl has left an impression on him." "We'll turn her into his woman." "Andros!" "Andros!" "Where's the girl?" "I won't be able to save her." "You won't have her." "Filthy beast!" "Don't get any closer..." "Don't get any closer!" "Let her go!" "Andros!" "Can't you hear me?" "Let her go!" "Obey!" "You damn stupid monster!" "Andros!" "Andros, no!" "No!" "No!" "Andros!" "There's a fire, run!" "What's that smell?" "Jenny!" " Oh, Johnny!" " Jenny!" "I know what it is," "'Fleur D'Amour'" "There he is." "Be careful, Malou!" "My God, are you alive?" "Subtitles by zark Proofread by suckmysound"
