"Are you alright?" "Damn it, that's a break, once more I come up smelling of roses" "Yes, somebody up there loves you" "The testament was full of indications of future crimes" "All the details worked out" "I guess Mabuse didn't want it to be decoded" "You really believe he's still alive in some form?" "That's mere superstition" "Maybe....." "In Mabuse's case, nothing can be ruled out." "The trains off the track !" "Take these blasted things off will you" "Everything will be alright, nothings going to prevent me from getting you to jail on time" "You're wrong, where's the key ?" "This man is going with us" "Who are you ?" " I can't tell you that now," "The main thing is to get you out" "Slice of cake ?" "or a cookie ?" "I'm not hungry" "I'd prefer it if you told me where we are going" "But Cockstone,we're old buddies In the war,remember ?" "In the war?" "Don't you recall our great days together ?" "We were detained for investigation" "You can't be Hyliard..." "Ernest Hyliard?" "The voice is familiar,but you don't look like him." "I don't,the face is quite new, marvellous job by a famous plastic surgeon" "He's English,on the boss's payroll" "Is the boss himself an Englishman ?" "Nobodies been told, but he definitely prefers British employees." "Like you and me, he got me out of trouble as well." "Who is your mysterious boss ?" "Yours too" " Mine ?"

"Hello..." "No, I'm not Major Tern, I'm his mother" "The Major cannot be disturbed now" "The are two good reasons today is Sunday, and he's on his vacation" "Oh...you're phoning from Hamburg, well I'm sorry, there is nothing urgent enough to disturb Major Tern on his vacation" "Morning Mother..." " Ahh..." "Bill" "You got up early to help me in the garden" "No, I happened to hear the phone" "You always happen to hear the phone" "That was Mrs Carter for a recipe" " Mama..."

"You're always right aren't you" "Hello.." "No,I'm not my mother,I'm Bill Tern" "Oh,Inspector Vulpius, what can I do for you?" "George Cockstone?" ".." "we're old acquaintances" "Kidnapped from the train on the way to jail?" "Yes....yes" "I've got it, I'll be on the next plane" "The end of your vacation ?" " How do you know that ?"

"I recommended leniency because I believed his basic motive was science" "Like the doctors who stole corpses in order to study anatomy" "This Cockstone is no scientific martyr" "Just a criminal with scientific training" "Yes,that was my mistake" "Well it happens, that a train has been derailed recently with the purpose of freeing him" "It seems to indicate that a powerful organisation is involved" "Exactly what my mother deduced" "Since our first experiments have been such a success" "I've been wondering how a man would react" "The chief difficulty of course, is that no one would allow" "Electrodes to be introduced into the nerve centres of his brain" "That will no longer be necessary" "You mean the apparatus, you refuse to reveal even to your trusted assistant Professor ?" "I didn't wish to show it to you before it had been perfected" "Is it perfected ?" "An invention,as you well know, is never really perfect" "But I'm ready now to share, the fruits of my investigation" "As a reward for your faithful assisstance," "I've decided you shall be our first subject" "Professor this is a great honour for me but.." "The experiment is quite harmless" "I have developed a machine, that projects my wishes into the nerve centres of your brain and at the same moment awakens in you a strong impulse, to accept and obey any suggestions so produced" "That makes me completely subservient to your will Professor" "To a good will my friend, one must stress the good of course" "In the wrong hands, any invention can be dangerous" "What am I to do ?" " Do you play the violin ?" "No,never been near one in fact" "Well then,do me a favour and try it, there's my instrument behind you." "It will work very well you're a very handsome figure of a violinist" "Don't worry,I'll make a violinist of you if it kills me" "I played the violin" "Not you, me,my friend" "Transmitting the impulses through your brain to your fingers" "And this was all due to this machine of yours?" "That's right my friend" "I see in this the most profound cause for alarm my dear Professor Lawrence" "If this invention should fall into unscrupulous hands the consequences..." "Fortunately I can set your mind at rest in this respect my English colleague Masterson has recently completed a machine to counter-act its effect" "We must have proof that the thing functions" "Playing the violin isn't enough what we must discover is whether with this machine" "A man could be made to commit a crime" "The only proof would be to try it" "Can you get at the apparatus without the Professor noticing anything ?" "I have another key to the laboratory" "How large is the device ?" " Roughly the size of a book" "For a start,just camouflage the device, perhaps in a camera, to hide it" "If the first test works, we look for something better" "What is the test going to be ?" "Inspire someone to murder the Professor" "It would be easier if I did it" " It wouldn't prove a thing" "We must choose a man for whom murder is unimaginable" "Just an ordinary man" "Here comes the postman" "Honest jovial,years of work, soon to be rewarded with a pension" "Father of a family of six children, baritone in the men's choir" "It would seem unbelievable, that such an upright citizen could commit murder" "Unbelievable." "Good morning Mr.Ranke" "And a very good morning to you sir" "You've something for me ?" "No,only a registered letter for the Professor" "You'll find him down in the lab" " Alright,thank you" "Yes,who is it ?" " Postman" "Come in" "I have a registered letter for you Professor" "Put it over there on the table" "Sign here Professor, if you don't mind" "My condolences Dr.Ranke." "It must be a terrible blow to you" "Yes,the Professor was like a father to me" "Its quite beyond me how such a murder could ever have been committed" "The Professor had no enemies, he was goodness itself" "When was the corpse discovered ?" "Shortly before nine, the time I usually come to the laboratory" "And what was the last project that occupied him ?" "Electronics is a vast subject" "We collaborated on a number of experiments, but some he classified as secret" "Did he leave unfinished work ?" "He named me to complete his scientific experiments" "Unfortunately its difficult to follow his notes" "I foresee an extended period of research" "Yes yes,of course" "I wont be needing you for the time being" "If anything happens then I may have to call" "Thank you,thank you" "I checked carefully Inspector, name and return address proved to be false" "Have a seat please" "Mr Schroeder you say you were the one who delivered, this registered letter to the Professor yesterday" "Yes sir" "When was that ?" "I always come about nine, it was about nine, I came" "You may have been the last person to see the Professor alive" "That's right Inspector" "Because when he was signing, he was still alive" "And then.." " What then ?" "Then I killed him" "I beg your pardon ?" "There was a pestle on the table" "Something made me grab it..." "I hit him with it" "As hard as I could" "Mr Schroeder,do you know what you're saying ?" "Yes,I cant believe it myself" "But that's the way it happened" "Good morning mother" " Good morning Bill" "You'll have to get a hookah to go with that turban" "What were you doing yesterday evening ?" "You came home late" "I was up waiting for you and heard, And you weren't alone" "Oh , one of our agents had to make a report for headquarters" "In the middle of the night ?" "Yes, that's what makes it exciting" "Well, the next time he comes to hand in his report he can skip the French perfume, and the high heels as well" "He should remember not to leave his lace handkerchief around" "And to lower his voice when he whispers quietly unless you want your mother to know" "So, now of course you're going to ask me, if there is anything in the news that's interesting" "And I'll reply, yes" "Crazy postman kills well known Professor in Hamburg" "And it was your friend Vulpius who broke the case" "He's a very competent fellow, he's only failed once that I know of" "In the case of Cockstone, you remember the army doctor, who kept top priority electronic materials for his own use" "That is a marvellous coincidence" "Cockstone an electronics crook and the murdered Professor an electronics genius" "There must be some connection" "Oh please mother,dont start pestering me with your ideas" "You cant build a theory on the basis of the word electronic" "And especially not these days when everything is electronic" "It doesn't mean anything to use the word electronic" "Whenever an agent disappears or a scientist defects electronics is behind it" "Deep sea diving,anti aircraft defence, satellite control, its all electronic" "It's nonsense to search for an explanation just on that basis" "It's stupid, totally absurd" "But for all that, you could be right" "The plane to Hamburg leaves in an hour" "Excuse me Major, but the idea that Cockstone, had any to do with the murder of Professor Lawrence" "I know there's not the slightest evidence to base it on" "Merely instinct, Mothers instinct, as it happens" "Oh really, your mother is being helpful" " She's full of ideas" "I don't object to instinct Major, but its proved beyond any doubt that the postman is the murderer" "However, he acted under compulsion and with no motive what so ever" "Anybody around who we could ask for more detailed information ?" "Just Doctor Ranke, the Professors assistant" "But I've already questioned him" "If its alright, I'd very much like to speak to him" "Of course, he's certainly at the lab now" "Shall we pay him a visit ?" "Over here..." "Doctor Ranke, he's dead" "Has the entire lab been demolished?" "The important instruments were removed before the explosion took place" "We can take them to England disguised as meteorological equipment" "I'd love to see their faces, they believe you've been killed" "So much the better" "They'll check the body, and find Cockstone's fake identification" "Major I must congratulate you" "Ranke and Cockstone were one and the same" "Or are, one and the same, I'm not at all sure this is Cockstone" "Fingers are burned, so prints are impossible" "The whole face is burned to a crisp" "Yes, but the measurements check" "Doctor, let me see the autopsy report" "I haven't dictated it yet" "Does he still have his appendix ?" " Yes" "Cockstone's was removed in 1948" "Really ?" " Yes" "Then who is it ?" "Perhaps his stomach will give us a clue" "What did his last meal consist of?" " It was Chinese food" "Do you know this man ?" "Do you work in a Chinese restaurant ?" " Yes, but I'm Italian" "Do you recognise this man ?" "Yes,thats....." " Who ?" "Doctor Wakeman" "You can identify him in spite of his charred face?" "His foot was scarred I remember, we were very good friends" "What sort of Doctor was he?" "An English Doctor, he helped me a great deal" "I see......" " Not the way you mean" "He remodelled my nose for me, and charged nothing" "So he was a plastic surgeon ?" "Now I know why George Cockstone was never found, he has a new face" "I think you over rate Cockstone he's simply a henchman" "I recognise the hand of a master" "The guards are posted" "Disguised as forest rangers, farm hands and domestic servants" "Our greatest advantage is England's unwritten law" "My house is my castle" "In here we can work on the equipment in peace" "And prolong its effectiveness" "We must ensure it's effective, at least 24 hours or more" "Hormones produced during sleep tend to counter act the effect" "Professor Lawrence was just about to develop a new process, to offset this action" "We must discover this formula, wherever it is" "Until then, we must renew our commands to our men every morning" "While our equipment is in its present state" "And what if our one machine fails us ?" "We must have more than one" "Which means we'll need jewels of an identical chemical consistency" "This evening, there's a gala presentation at the opera house" "To be attended by everyone of importance in the realm" "Princess Diana and the Duke of Rampart, her fiancé will be present" "On such occasions the Princess wears her famous necklace" "Very good" "In one minute the Duke will arrive" "And if he doesn't come ?" "His orders were, at midnight there will be two men waiting for you under the lamp post on the left" "The parcel containing the gems, is to be given to them" "If this succeeds, England will never forgive him" "Here comes the car" "Help...help gorilla !" "Halt !" "Hands up, I'll shoot if you take one more step" "Bill..." "You wicked mother, you're not going to kill your own son are you ?" "Where did you get a revolver anyway ?" "I have to say it doesn't exsist, but I'll have to get one, one of these days" "There's no place like home" "Where are you going now ?" "I wish I knew" "But when the secret service comes for me at midnight, it must be urgent" "I hope its not because of Princess Diana" " Why Diana ?" "Well I watched the gala on television" "Princess Diana was attending and a remarkable idea came to me" "Remarkable ?" "Yes, you see Princess Diana came with her fiancé but went home all alone" "It happens all the time" "Yes but I noticed something else" "When she arrived she had her ermine cape over her shoulders" "And when she left she had it drawn up close around her neck" "Now mother they're waiting for me, goodnight" "I'm sorry to wake you up Bill - what's the matter now ?" "This case is extremely delicate" " About Princess Diana ?" "Yes,she's involved, but how do you know about it ?" "No more than four people know the situation" "You forget my mother" "Sir, Commisioner" "You know Major Tern, this is Mr Rank" "Have a seat please" "Yes, gentlemen I came here expressly to tell you a story" "About an hour ago I was awakened by the Duke of Rampart" "White as a sheet he stands at my bed and says" "Commisioner I must confess to you," "I answered, wrong address, you should wake up the Archbishop of Canterbury" "I must tell you he said" "I'm the one who made off with the Princess Diana's jewels" "I received an order" "That I was to deliver them to two strangers at midnight" "Where did the order come from ?" "That, he didn't know" "But he felt a force that he was unable to resist in any way" "Another outside force like the postman in Hamburg" "A postman ?" "The murder of Professor Lawrence" "They've agreed its a case of insanity" "I recommend an identical judgement in the Dukes case" "Yes,thats the only cause possible" "I know you'll take me for an idiot, but if anyone can help us now, its Professor Masterson" "The physicist?" "Yes, the famous electronics specialist" "I fear we my accept the rather unnerving hypothesis that we're up against an unprecedented new force" "A new force that we must deal with" "Well I wont argue with a maniac, drive over and see Masterson" "Where does he live ?" " in Doncaster" "As an old neighbour, I took the liberty of coming in the back way" "You must be Nancy, Nancy Masterson" "You know me ?" "The last time I saw you, you were so high" "Yes, those were my good days" "I couldn't have made very much of an impression I guess" "I'm Bill Tern" "I was more taken in with the uniform" "Forgive me, you want to speak to my father ?" "Yes, I have an appointment with him for 10 o' clock" "I'm afraid you're wrong" "I cant be,did'nt he tell you he was waiting for somebody to come ?" "A photographer - photographer ?" "Father said that he didn't wish to be disturbed" "But that doesn't apply at all to me" "Professor Masterson its Bill Tern" "Open the door" "Father..." "Hello is anyone here ?" "Did you call Professor ?" " Come here quickly" "For heavens sake, what's happened ?" "The Professor is dead" "Suicide ?" " I don't believe it's suicide" "But he died by his own hand didn't he ?" "The Duke of Rampart stole with his own hand too" "And I'm sure he's no thief" "He too acted under powerful outside forces" "And so did the Professor" "Men like him don't act this way" "Father had so many plans for the future" "For supper the Professor asked me to cook some kidney" "A man doesn't give orders like that if he's going to kill himself" "I'd like to ask you a few questions" " Me?" "Yes, shall we go in the other room" "Nancy, do you want to help me ?" "If I can" "In addition to the photographer who else was here ?" "Only the photographer" "Can you describe him to me ?" "He was wearing sunglasses, had a straw hat" "And a slender build" "Did you notice anything else of interest ?" "Photographers are usually friendly and easy going" "He was rather distant and curt" "Are you alone ?" " Yes" "Professor Masterson had to be killed unfortunately" "Why ?" "Our secret weapon failed with him" "What ?" "These, were among his things" "It must be the counter apparatus Professor Lawrence talked about" "Nancy we've got things to do in the lab, I'll want your help" "I have to speak to you after your through Miss Masterson" "Thank god my mother didn't live to go through this" "She's pretty sharp" "Even in mourning she lets you know there's no mother in law" "You old cynic" "If an internationally famous Professor, commits suicide, there must be a reason for it" "I knew Masterson" "We were old neighbours and close friends" "He'd have been likely to discuss his main problems with me suicide is highly improbable" "Judgement based, on insufficient evidence" "Besides," "The Duke, I'm sure he had no motive for stealing those jewels" "And the postman in Hamburg had no reason to kill Professor Lawrence" "It was an outside force" "If we accept your deductions, Bill" "If we assume that something could suspend the will of the Professor" "And cause a despotic intrusion of an alien will, then we're up against a power that can ruin us all" "We must go back over the whole affair" "I'm absolutely sure there are valuable clues in the case of the postman which can lead us to the solution" "If my theory is correct, the crimes must have at least one conspicuous feature in common" "Yes, but what ?" "Vulpius must come over here" "You know I purposely arranged a private meeting between us" "The affair is highly confidential" "I know of the affair, and I've produced the solution" "You have solved the case ?" " Mother solves all my cases" "Here's my guess" "There exists an outside compulsion a mysterious influence so we're forced to assume, a hypnotising machine" "So fantastic, its almost plausible" "Today they have an apparatus for everything" "Cigarette butt in your mouth, that's how you detect a career detective" "Its a great weakness of mine" " Come Blackie let's leave the solution to the brains" "Mother like to shoot blindly, but she scores quite often" "Now back to our case" "Listen Vulpius,I'm positive that the vital factor in this affair" "Must be connected with that murder in Hamburg" "Any new information about it ?" "When I let there wasn't a thing, nothing in all the police reports so far" "The postmans story hasn't helped us a single bit" "He talks about the kids he saw playing on the football field" "All about the dog that tried to bite a woman" "Even a man taking a photograph - photographer?" "well yes, a tourist was there taking souvenir pictures" "Just like the picture of Masterson someone took before he killed himself" "And the Duke of Rampart drove past a group of photographers" "Before he stole the princesses necklace" "But my dear major.." "Each time photography was involved" "Well it could very well be a coincidence three times in a row,persistant coincidence" "No, we must ask ourselves, is it possible by means of an apparatus, to control the will of another person" "I cant imagine such a machine, unless its the hypnotising machine your mother talked about" "Still today we have atom bombs, and fly at the speed of sound, everything is possible" "We're ready with the second device" "We must avoid too many experiments to test the efficiency of the apperatus" "Somehow we have to work out a definitive experiment to make" "Have you any ideas ?" " Yes" "What for instance ?" "We must get a murderer to commit suicide" "Have you thought about what you just said ?" "Then the device is at your complete disposal, to carry out any experiments you so wish" "I'lll be needing it tomorrow at 4 am" "If this model works, then our power will know no bounds" "A hangman who himself,is hanged" "This last test shows, no defence can withstand our new weapon" "Good day" " Do you want something ?" "I'm a photographer for new review on our animal friends" "Will you permit me to photograph your dog ?" "Hear that blackie ?" "Make us a friendly face" "What about a human interest picture with his mistress ?" "Would you be so kind as to tell me, how to get to Marble Arch please ?" "Thats very easy, walk down this street," "It's just past the post office on the left" "Thank you You have your orders ?" "Yes sir" " Here,you better take this" "You are familiar with it ?" "Yes, its a hand grenade" " Good" "Well inspector I'm sorry you have to leave us" "I'm just a plain policeman, mysterious stuff like this, is a delicacy for me" "My daily bread is burglary, confidence tricks... and a few cozy robberies and murders" "The airport James" " Yes Sir" "Halt !" "Where are you going james ?" "This is not the way to the airport" "Following my orders" "Head over to the airport" "Those aren't my orders" "From who ?" "From my new boss, sir" "I'm your boss James" "Sorry sir, I have orders to bring you to my new boss" "Take me to the airport" "Drop your weapons on the floor" "I have a hand grenade" "The three of us will be blown to pieces" "I believe him" "Whoever forced the hangman to kill himself, could achieve this too" "You better do what he says" "Drop your weapons on the floor" "We cant avoid admitting that Princess Diana has been kidnapped" "As well as Joe Rank, and the police commisioner" "Not to speak of our ally from Hamburg, Inspector Vulpius" "You have any clues ?" "Only that photographer seen in Doncaster forest" "A helicopter has been combing the area ever since" "A foresters home with farm buildings" "A good spot for a landing, we can make some enquiries" "Have you understood the order ?" " Yes Sir" "That's good, a helicopter with 2 pilots" "Now we'll have to put our pilot friends on the wrong track" "Who do you recieve your orders from ?" " Major Bill Tern" "Oh, a very good friend of mine, these many years" "Kindly walk back to your plane, and broadcast him the following message" "He reports every half hour" "Flight 8.17 ready to report" "3 B ready for report" "Landed at former forest rangers, 80 miles from london" "Full search of premises, found nothing but storage sheds and chicken coops 3 farm hands declare wanted cars are headed towards Glenmore" "We proceed to Scotland :" "Over" " Received you clearly" "They're going to Scotland" "The Scottish highlands are a probable destination" "I've summoned you all here, for the express purpose of assisting me to halt the decay of the country" "And to bring back, the glory of the empire" "And to bring new leadership" "If England expects that of me, I'm ready to serve" "And you, Joe Rank ?" " I am too sir" "You Inspector Vulpius, will have a special task" "I'm at your command" "I'm afraid you have no choice Inspector Vulpius" "When we take over the government" "Everyone will have to co-operate" "We stand on the threshold of a new era for England representitives of the old order, are to be promptly and systematically eliminated" "But Bill, Dr Mabuse can't be this mastermind" "You're really quite mad" "We british can never recognise facts unless we are really compelled to" "Every day people vanish, in broad daylight" "Here is a list of them" "Each one a top Rankeing authority in his special branch of science" "Gas !" "Tern .." " It's Nancy Masterson" "Hello Nancy, what can i do for you ?" "Major Tern, I must tell you something" "I'm so afraid" " Where are you ?" "I ran away from my home" "And I'm in a little hotel called Hotel Marigold" "Room number 26" " Good, I'll come right over" "Who is it ?" " Bill Tern" "Whats the matter ?" "Ann tried to murder me - your housekeeper ?" "She was my nanny and my friend" "I still cant believe any of it" "First of all,just try to calm down" "How did you happen to choose this hotel ?" "I ran away from my place into the street" "This was the first hotel I saw, And I walked in without thinking" "Thats about it" "You're the first person I thought of to ask for help Major Tern" "Call me Bill" "Please help me Bill" " Of course" "But first of all,you'll have to remain right here" "I'll return in a little while" "And when will that be ?" " As quickly as I can" "Don't open to anybody but me" "Who are you, what do you want ?" "Why so unfriendly ?" "You're more beautiful when you're smiling" "Thank you" "What's wrong with you blackie ?" "You getting nervous ?" "Mother,you're still up ?" " I waited up for you" "With a revolver ?" " Quite right" "You bad boy, have you lost your wits ?" "why did you do that to me ?" "Tell me mother" "Do you feel an irresistable and driving force ?" "Absolutely" "I feel an irresistable and driving force, to give you a few good whacks on your bottom" "Is it possible the apparatus failed to work on you ?" "What are you talking about ?" "Did a photographer visit you ?" "Don't worry about your tough old mother" "You're a plucky old bird alright, you're stronger than any apparatus" "Do you really believe this apparatus, could force a mother to kill her own son ?" "That, and more" "Could it be Mabuse do you think ?"
