"EMIL AND THE DETECTIVES" "BASED ON A NOVEL BY ERICH KÄSTNER" "AND A SCREENPLAY BY BILLIE WILDER" "We have to cross there." "Come on." "Wait here." "Do you know why we brought you here?" " No." "The Stoertebeck Secret Society admits you, Emil Tischbein, to its ranks." "You made mincemeat of two of us at the last punch-up." "We're now giving you the chance to join our gang." "Do you accept?" "Yes." "But you must first accomplish a task." " What kind of task?" "Every Stoertebeker Gang member must accomplish a task." "Only then is he admitted to the Secret Society." "Our secret archive." "Here are listed all the tasks that our members carried out." "You'd be astonished by what we've got up to." "Death to traitors!" " Death!" "Revenge!" " Revenge!" " Three times revenge!" "Your task:" "The fishermen recently caught a seal in their nets." "Fishmonger Meves bought it." "He intends to sell it to a zoo or aquarium." "He must be stopped." "We command you to liberate the seal and return it to the sea." "Are you prepared to accomplish this task tonight?" " Couldn't I do it after the holidays?" "It will be sold by then." "I want to go on holiday, so perhaps I could do some other task later." "He's chickening out!" " Coward!" " Mother's boy!" "It just looks like that." "He doesn't want to worry his mother." "But he's not always like this." "He's proved that already." "Then he should prove once more he wants to join our gang." "Very well." "I'll try." "Now you're in the Stoertebeker Gang." "Yes!" " Super!" "Grab it." " Go on." "Yes, go on." "Grab it!" "It's impossible." "Come on, pal, just do it!" "There." "Put it in the cart." "There are parcels in it." " No matter." "You'll bring it back." "Fantastic." "It'll be faster this way." " Oh yes." "Go on." "Close it." "Get a move on!" "That's mail robbery." "I was only inside ten minutes." "What's up?" " When did it happen?" " Just now." "Hurray!" "Hurray!" "Goodbye!" " Bon voyage!" "Come on." "Let's get back." "Police!" " Jeschke with his dog!" "We'll get him." " What are you waiting for?" "Let's get out of here!" "Find him." "Run." "Find him." "We have to split up." "You that way and I'll go this." "Now, before the holidays, there's a prize for the best marks." "Emil Tischbein." "This is for your fine achievements, exemplary conduct and leadership." "Your mother can be proud of you." "Give her my regards." "Thank you." "Now have a good break." "See you in 5 weeks." "Goodbye." " Stop!" "Everyone back to his seat." "My dear colleague, we have a problem." "A rather grim matter." "Sit down." "Hinrichsen," "Hasenpfot," "Landahl," "Jarre," "Nevermann." "Hand back your reports." "You stay here." "You others can go." "I'm sending him to Berlin now." "He must be glad." " I'll say!" "He was 6 months old when we were evacuated." "We'd just come here when I learned that my husband had died in action." "What's he going to do here in the holidays?" "My sister wrote to say he should come." "Her husband earns well enough." "Only I'm afraid I can't go along." "I've too much to do here." "He's a big boy now and will just have to be careful." "Well, there you are." "So what's this?" "Your report?" "Isn't it good?" "Good day, Mrs. Wirth." " Good day." "You're a lucky one." "I hear you're going to Berlin." "But Emil, this is excellent!" "All your marks are good!" "Singing adequate." " Ugh, singing!" "Have you ever seen such a report!" " Splendid." "And what's this?" ""For exemplary conduct and leadership"." "He deserves to go on holiday!" "Get ready." "We're off to the station." "Pack your old suit." "Your new one is on your bed." "And take new shoelaces." "Look sharp!" "Excuse me for rushing you a bit today." "Still a little damp." "Sit a while in the sun so you don't catch a cold." "Yes." " So." "Awash and set: 3 marks." "It's about time you bought yourself an electric hairdrier." "Two, three." "There you are." " Thank you." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." "So." "Who was it that invented best suits?" " Why?" "Tell me and I'll shoot the chap!" "Other children would be glad if they had a best suit." "Everyone has some problem or other." "These are for Grandma." "And get out at Zoo Station." "Gran and Ponyhütchen'll be waiting." " Exactly." "Oh, and most importantly, Emil." " Yes, rightly so!" "So." "What's that then?" " I'm taking it for Ponyhütchen." "Well, that's nice." "Very nice." "Now take good care, Emil." "Here are 140 Marks." "One 100 Mark note and two 20 Mark notes for Grandma." "I didn't send her anything lately." "You can take this along personally." "And give her a kiss." "Understood?" " Yes." "Just don't lose the money." "Where are you going to put it?" "There." "Now it can't fall out." "Now we must get to the station." "Mrs. Tischbein, I'll carry the suitcase." "Who can that be?" "Good day." " Good day." " Very natty!" "What a pleasure!" "Emil's report." "All is "very good" except singing, which is "adequate"." "Well now." " He got this book as a prize for exemplary conduct." "Emil!" "Now come along, Emil!" "Good day, Emil." "Lost your tongue, have you?" " Good day." "Congratulations." "A splendid report." "Well done." ""Exemplary conduct"!" "You're not like those hoodlums in your class." " Hoodlums?" "They had a hideaway in the old wreck on the docks." "They tried to steal the post-cart." "You can go to prison for that." "Attempted mail robbery." "We found stolen goods in their hideaway." "The lads even kept a record of all their infamous deeds." "Those rascals also painted the nose on the mayor's monument red." "I never!" " And the best of all is." "You know Knut Hinrichsen, don't you?" "He said he'd been robbed on the way back from the bank." "Not a word of it was true." "Nobody robbed him." "He was fooling the police all along." "The lads spent the cash at the cinema and the shooting match." "And they were stupid enough to write down every detail." "And now?" " I wouldn't want to be in their shoes." "Emil, you don't seem to be excited about Berlin." " I am, I am." "We must get to the station." "I'll accompany you, if you don't mind." " Really?" "That's kind." "Let me take that." "You're not going to let Mr. Jeschke carry your suitcase, are you?" "And send a postcard straight away!" "You to me too." " Behave yourself, or people will think we don't know what manners are." "Exactly." " Bon voyage!" "Come back safe and sound." " Above all, don't lose the money." "Everyone aboard." " Give my regards to Aunt Martha," "Uncle, Grandma and Ponyhütchen." "The boy's a funny one." "Doesn't seem glad at all." "It's the first time he's left me." "No." "He has something against me." "Have you told him we are to marry?" "Not yet." "I can't." "He still talks about his father." "Well, he'll have to know sometime." "I thought, when he comes back." "Excuse me." "Is this seat free?" " Of course." "As you can see." "Here, give me that, my boy." "Thank you." "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FISHERMAN" "Very kind of you, young chap." "Not at all." "Such polite children are rare today." "You could take a page out of his book, Elfriede." "You have school holidays?" " Yes." " I wish I were so lucky!" "What class are you in?" " Fourth year." "I see." "How does one divide a fraction?" "One multiplies it by its inverse value." "What are 7 times 17?" " 119." "9 times 37?" "333." "Name the Danube's German tributaries." "The Iller, Lech, Isar and Inn flow into the Danube." "as do the Altmühl, Naab and Regen." "Good boy." "Sit down." "Where will your great voyage lead?" " To Berlin." "I'd like to go there again too." "And you're going there all alone, to enjoy yourself?" "No." "I also must attend to some business." "I see." " What a city that is!" "It's made a fine job of itself!" "Berliners are building houses nowadays with 100 storeys." "You need a month to walk to the top." "Lifts are quicker and have a kitchen so one doesn't starve on the way." "What nonsense!" "If someone needs to go quickly from one district to another, the post office packs him up, shoves him into a tube and shoots him to the post office he wants to reach." "Don't talk such nonsense!" "How can one tell children such tales!" "Shame on you." "Sit down!" " That is progressive Berlin." "If one has no money, one can deposit one's brain at the bank in exchange for 1000 Marks." "A man can live only 2 days without a brain, but he has to pay 1200 Marks to get it back." "Your brain's at the bank too, I see." "Have a good journey, my boy." " Thank you." "Now you can lie down and sleep until we reach Berlin." "No." "No." "Pardon me." " No problem." "Cigarette?" "No, not yet." "But a sweet?" "If I may." "What's your name?" "Emil Tischbein." " Grundeis, at your service." "Grundeis." "Come back safe and sound." "Attempted mail robbery: prison." "Berlin, Zoo Station." "MAIN-LINE TRAINS" "Excuse me Inspector, Sir." " What is it?" "Was that the inter-regional train?" " Yes." "It just arrived." "Grandma, let's wait here and not move from the spot." "I'm asking every boy that comes by if he is Emil." "Yes, do that." "Do that." "They dug a tunnel under the bank." "Cleared out all the vaults." "Apparently got away with millions." "It will be difficult to find out exactly what was in the bank." "And on no account should the Inland Revenue find out." "Many a man claims his diamonds were stolen when it was only buttons." "Fares, please." "Any more fares?" "Yes?" " If I may?" "What do you want from me?" " You'll laugh." "The fare." "You're not from here then?" " Why?" "Because otherwise you'd know it costs 25 pence, not 20." "You can conduct a survey right here." "They'd tell you." "I've no change." " A pity." "Can anyone change a 100 Mark note?" "Sorry, no." " I thought as much." "We aren't a change bureau." "But as you seem like a nice chap," "I'll be happy to help you out with 5 pence." "Here you are." "One 25 pence fare." "Here." "Thank you." "Fares please." "Any more fares, please?" "One moment, please." "Have all the passengers come through?" " Yes, of course." "We're waiting for my cousin, Emil." " I see." "Very nice for you." "What an odd boy he is." "I think we can go home." "Emil isn't coming." "Whatever can have happened?" "If he'd missed the train, Anna would have sent a telegram." "I bet he got out at the wrong stop." "Boys are sometimes awfully stupid." "What shall we do now?" "Jump on the crossbar;" "I'll take you home." "Whatever can have happened to Emil?" "I don't like this this." "No, I don't like this at all." "Sir?" " Three eggs in a glass." " Three?" "Three eggs in a glass, chocolate, toast, raspberry jam, butter." "fresh butter!" "And cigars." "Don't fall off your seat." " Who's hooting here?" "Who is that?" "Me of course." "Not from Berlin, are you?" "Otherwise you'd know I have a hooter." "I'm from Neustadt." "I just came from the station." "From Neustadt." "That's why you wear that daft suit." "Take that back or I'll sock you one." "You take a huff in a hurry!" "The weather's too fine for boxing." "What's your name?" "I'm Gustav with the hooter." " Emil." "Are you playing hide and seek on your own?" "I'm observing a thief." "I understand a little about thieves." "See him over there, with the hat?" " Yes." "The one eating eggs." "The one buying eggs with my money." "Your money?" "How come?" "He robbed me in the train when I was asleep." "140 Marks." " 140 Marks!" "Is that true?" " It's true." "Man, that's fabulous." "Just like in a film!" "And what do you plan to do now?" "Not a clue." "Stay on his heels." "Tell a policeman." "He'll take him in." "A policeman." "No, I don't want to." " Why not?" "Had a run-in with the cops back home." " I see." "Man, I get it." "What then?" " What then?" "So what was the run-in about?" " Attempted mail robbery." "Blimey." "This story with the thief is tops." "It's first class." "I'm in on this." "I'll fetch reinforcements." "But be quick or he may leave and then I'll have to follow him." "Sure." "I'm really made up." "This'll be a great lark." "Come with me." "Everyone follow me." "Everyone follow me now!" "Let's go." "Move it!" "Man, here comes Gustav." "What's up?" " Come with me." "Watch it, boys!" "Everybody halt." "Stand aside there." "Well, what do you say to that?" "Fantastic!" "So, gentlemen, this here is Emil from Neustadt." "There sits the swine who stole his money." "Emil, you're being replaced." "We'll appoint couriers." "Dräger, Kossler, Mecklenburg stay here." "Let us know if anything happens." "Everyone else come to HQ." "At last, a chance to play detectives!" "Indeed." " So first, Emil, let me introduce you to everyone." "This is the Professor, our great mathematician." "That is little Tuesday." "You can rely on him." "Krummbiegel only speaks Indian." "His name is Flying Deer." "You said it, great Chief." "Enough of introductions." "First of all we need working capital." "That is our Chief of Staff." " Everyone gives as much as he can." "Thanks." "When we catch the blighter, you'll get your money back." "We know we will." " It's not necessary." " Exactly. - 5 Marks 70." "Great." "This is our working capital." "So." "Emil, Gustav, Mittenzwey," "Gerold and I are the Scotland Yard chiefs who will follow him." "You wait here for orders." " Can I fetch my camera?" "We have to get the chap's photo!" " Yes." "Fetch it." "Good thinking." " Perhaps I can be the police dog?" "Be quiet!" "Be quiet!" "You're behaving like children." "Which of you has a telephone?" " I do." " I do." "You, Tuesday." "The number?" " 84 64 45." "Everyone note the number." " 84 64 45." "If anyone notices anything important, he should call little Tuesday." " I'd rather be in the action." "No backtalk." "Go home." "We need a password." "I suggest, "Password Emil"." " Yes." "Password Emil!" "So, let's march." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Excuse me." "That makes 4 Marks 20." "I called you often enough." "You must be deaf." "Here." "Here. 6 Mommsen St., Garden House." "Greet Grandma and Ponyhütchen." "Aunt and Uncle have no cause to worry." " Okay." "He's leaving." " He's getting away!" "Detectives, march!" " Man the telephone!" " Come on!" "Do you have any money?" " Go on!" "Follow that cab!" "So, how much is it?" "2.40." "Go on!" "Follow him!" "It costs 20 pence more." " Pardon me." "Here." "I don't like this, not a bit." "If only I'd gone with you!" "Did you keep your eyes peeled?" "Did you perhaps overlook him?" " No question of that." "Who knows what he's got up to." "What shall we do?" "We must send a telegram to Neustadt." "Better not." "Aunt will get a shock." "Papa will know what to do." "That's a good idea." "I'll call father at work right now." "Gran, keep an eye on the macaroni so it doesn't burn." "Ponyhütchen, don't dare leave the house before I get back." "Well then, bye." " Bye." " Bye." "Maybe we're worrying for nothing." " But where on earth is he?" "Maybe he's visiting the mayor." "Nonsense." "Oh, that's him!" "There you are!" "Yes, here I am." "Flying Deer is fast." "Yes, yes, whatever you say." "Just come inside, my boy." "Well then." "You've." "Come." "Take a seat." "Now I bet you're hungry." "Flying Deer is always hungry." " Then eat up right away." "Ponyhütchen, did your mother cook anything?" "Have a look in the oven." "My boy, here you are, at last." "We did wait for you, you know." "For hours." "I'm so happy!" "Bon appetit." " Flying Deer gives thanks for the gift." "Who are you actually?" "Emil or Flying Deer?" "I am Flying Deer." "Grandma, this is not Emil." "What?" "This isn't Emil?" "Pale Face has guessed the truth." "Then, for heaven's sake, has something really happened to Emil?" "Have no worries!" "The great Manitu is with him." "Stop talking nonsense." "Just tell us what's going on." "Is Emil at least in one piece?" "You said it, Pale Dove." "Who sent you?" " The Chief of the great gang." "Here's the letter." "Well, give it here, you silly boy." " Come." "Let me." ""Dear Grandma, I am in Berlin." "But I cannot come yet, as I have to attend to some business." "I'll come when it's all sorted out." "Best remarks." What?" ""Best regards"." "His handwriting is terrible!" ""Best regards to Uncle, Aunt and Ponyhütchen." "Your loyal Emil"." "Tell us at once where Emil is!" "On the warpath." " Where is he?" "I have spoken." "No squaw in this wigwam will find out more." "You're not going to say where he is?" "Flying Deer's lips are sealed by a magic spell." "Pardon me." "I must attend to my mustang." "Your mustang?" "Wait!" "I'm coming with you." "One other thing." "These garden stars are Emil's gift to the Pale Dove." "Ponyhütchen!" " Wait a minute, my hat." "Ponyhütchen, where are you running off to now?" "To Emil." " To Emil?" "Very well." "Yes." "Go." "I waited so long, I thought you'd never call me again." "Anni, what do you take me for?" "Urgent business." "I'm here now." "Are you staying?" " Yes." "How long?" " Now, come, come." "Get on the phone!" "Report our position." " Will do." "Oh, Karl, I've been so worried about you." "I'll be all right." "If you never betray me." "You know I'd do anything for you." "But quit the game now." "You said yourself it's over now." "Let's go to your mother's." " I'll keep my word." "But you must help me just this once." "No Karl." "I won't do it." "You met me here just to tell me that?" "It's too dangerous." " One has to take risks." "Oh Karl." "If only I could see into your heart." "You would find nothing except my love for you." "Have you brought it?" " Yes." " No, not here." "Come on." "Password Emil." "He's in the Botanical Gardens with a girl." "We're observing him." "Wait." "Where should Willi go with his camera?" "To the Botanical Gardens." " Right." "The Botanical Gardens." "Password Emil." " Password Emil." "Over." "Password Emil." " Willi here." "Willi!" "You're to go at once to the Botanical Gardens." "He's there." "Right." "Thanks." "Password Emil." " Password Emil." "Over." "So, you can give it to me now." "Swear that this is the last time." "Anni, you can trust me." "Marriage swindler." " Nonsense, girl trader." "Willi with his camera." "So, let's meet again tomorrow." " Are you leaving already?" "I must." "Urgent business." "I can't take another morning off work." "Then in the evening." "Good." "Tomorrow evening then, at 7.30 in front of the store?" "Yes." " Yes, fine." "He photographed them." " Quick, after them." "Did you photograph him?" " Both of them." "Telephone unit, march." "Quick, come on." "This is our HQ for tonight." "Willi, develop the photos!" "Let's go." "Come on." "Password Emil." " Password Emil." "Mittenzwey here." "We're in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church." "He's in the Hotel Stephanie." "And there's only one exit." "Unless he goes over the roof." "The siege has begun." "Hotel Stephanie." "The siege has begun." "Wait a minute, Mittenzwey." "I so wish I were in on the action." "Hey!" " What is going on over there?" "Here?" "I'm bored to death here." "Password Emil." "Over." "Wait a minute." "What's that about a siege?" "Phone call accomplished." " How long shall the siege last?" "Perhaps all night long." " And what should the couriers do?" "Take off." "They should be back on call early tomorrow." "Run and tell them." "Perhaps we can hunt him down." "Are we going to stay here all night?" " Well, of course!" "What will Grandma say, and my Uncle and Aunt?" "This is no time for private concerns." "We must take action." "How?" " We have to steal the stolen money." "Yes." " Nonsense." "That makes us thieves just like him." "How come?" " If I pinch something from someone, I'm a thief." "No." " I can't possibly steal something that belongs to me!" "It does belong to me, even if it's in a stranger's pocket." "Right." " Those are differences that are hard to grasp." "Many adults wouldn't understand it either, but it's true." "Password Emil!" " Password Emil." " Ponyhütchen!" "This is my cousin." "How did you get here?" "The white brother has a memory like a sieve." "We called little Tuesday." "We were terribly worried until Flying Deer arrived." "A nice chap." "Congratulations." "He told me everything and I thought I'd bring you something to eat." "Great." "Supplies have arrived!" "Are they the detectives?" " Yes." "The Professor," "Hooter Gustav and Mittenzwey." " Pleased to meet you." "Finally I get to meet some real detectives." "Don't mind me." "How do you do it, Detective?" "We sneak around a little." " And keep the criminal in sight." "I'd love to stay here for a while." "But if I stay out too late, my parents will call the riot squad." "For heaven's sake, no adults!" " It'll be over if the grown-ups come." "I certainly won't betray you." "You can rely on me." "A pity, but I have to go." "More fool you!" "A good girl should hit the sack now." "Goodbye, gentlemen." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Oh, there's something I forgot." "It's beautiful." "A pity it's broken." " Not at all." "Broken glass is lucky." "Password Emil." "Password Emil." "Golly gosh!" "Do you like her?" "Really?" " Lots." "You can't say "lots"." " Cut that out." "Not now." "Because you said my suit is stupid." "It isn't really stupid." "I'm used to it already." "But listen, I have an idea." "Come with me." "Do you see the bellboy?" " Yes." "Listen." "Do you want to earn a bob or two?" " From you?" " Listen." "Come on." "The porter here." "Yes?" "Very well." "I'll send him right up." "Where is Max?" " He must be outside." "Max!" "Max." "What are you up to?" "Here, take the evening paper up to Number 11." " Yes sir." "Here, the evening paper." " Thank you, my boy." "Don't panic, ladies and gentlemen." "The fire extinguisher just fell off the wall." "What's going on?" "Oh, dear heavens!" "Fire!" ""The enemy's in Number 9." "Things are really heating up"." "Quick!" "Report to the telephone unit." "Password Emil." "The enemy's in Number 9." "Things are really heating up." "I see." "The enemy's in Number 9." "Yes, things are really heating up." "Password Emil." " Password Emil." "Over." "The enemy is in" "Number 9." "Porter." "Number 9." "Wake me at 8am." "Nothing new from Tuesday." "I must go or I'll have to stay in tomorrow." "Watch out." "Emil is coming." " Emil!" "I got it back!" " Well done." " Show us!" "There's no money in it!" " But he had the notes in his hand!" "I saw them!" "What a mess-up!" "What's that?" " I don't know." "Did you take that off him?" " Yes." "If he can't find it, they'll say it was stolen." "And you had my uniform on." "I know exactly what will happen tomorrow." "Take the wallet back." "But let's make a note of that first." "Do you have a pencil and paper?" " Here's paper." " A pencil." "He wants to be woken at 8." "So there's nothing more we can do tonight." "Let's go." "In position tomorrow at 8." "Mittenzwey." " Yes?" "Call Tuesday." "He must inform the others that are at the warehouse." "Yes Sir." " And what will become of me?" "You can sleep at my place." " Fine." " Password Emil." " Password Emil." "You'll catch what for, if you don't tell." "Now spit it out!" "But I told you." "It's top secret." "Let me try." " Do as you like." "Stop yelling." "My child, tell your mother." "Where is Emil?" "Well?" "You're not going to tell?" "You do see how upset we are?" "If I told you what was up, you'd be even more upset." "Ponyhütchen!" "If anything happens to Emil, it will be our fault." "Nothing will happen to him." "But he's not coming home?" "I won't sleep a wink!" "Lie down and go to sleep." " Easier said than done!" "You can rely on me." "I never lied to you before." "I don't like this." "No, I don't like this at all." "Good night, Grandma." " Night, Ponyhütchen." "Good night, Papa." "Good night, Mama." "The way she talks!" " Your temperament." "She'd not have said a word, even if you'd slapped her." "Your daughter." " You raised her." " She has stubbornness from you" "And disrespect from you." " Just why might she respect you?" "Martha!" " Children, I don't like this at all!" "Robert!" "Aha!" "Berlin is incredibly big." "When I think, I might never have met you and been here all alone, it gives me goose-bumps." "You get used to it." "I couldn't stand it in Neustadt." "You get used to Neustadt." "But Berlin is beautiful." "No question of that, Professor." "Wonderful!" "You'll see." "Tomorrow we'll get the money off the blighter." "Are you afraid of your mother?" " Afraid?" "Not a bit!" "She lets me do everything." "So I don't, if you see what I mean." "No, I don't understand that." " You probably have lots of money." "I don't know." "We rarely talk about it." "That shows you have a lot." " It's possible." "You see, we often talk about money, my mother and I." "We have very little." "She must work all the time and yet it's still never enough." "But for school trips, I always have as much as everyone else." "Sometimes even more." " How does she do it?" "I don't know." "But she does." "I always bring half of it home again." "I see." "It's like that for you." "That's how it is, yes." "If she allows me to go to the beach until 9, I come back at 7." "Why?" "Because I know that she'll be alone, eating supper in the kitchen." "No, it's a bit different in my family." "When I come home early, they're at the theatre or with friends." "We do like each other, my parents and I," "I have to say." "But we don't show it very often." "That's about the only thing that we can afford to do." "But I'm not a mother's boy!" "I understand." "You're just very fond of each other, you and your mother." "Enormously." "Now I must get back to my post." " Good night, Emil." "Good night, Professor." ""General alarm at 8"." "What does that mean?" "Password Emil." "Password Emil?" " He's dreaming." "The latest news." "Get the latest." "Yes?" "Good morning." "It's 8 o'clock." "Here's your breakfast." "Who ordered that?" " I thought you need a breakfast." "Be off with you!" "Yes?" "I'm up already." "Please put me through to 91 99 99, pronto." "I'll wait." "Yes, good day, Miss." "No." "It's me on the line." "Yes, yes." "Very well." "Yes, Alfred." "It's me." "Since last night." "Yes, I know." "What do you mean, what's up?" "What's going on at your place?" "Here?" "Nothing." "Everything's fine." "I just wanted to know what we're going to do next." "What, indeed?" "Our thing, of course." "That's why I'm here." "Yes." "The bag is here." "But I don't have the key." "Yes." "I'll bring everything with me." "That's all." "Believe me." "There's nobody after me." "Who on earth could be watching me?" "It's impossible ." "Don't worry." "If everyone was as careful as I am." "Max, what are you doing there?" "That's not allowed." "Come in." "Good morning." " Good morning." "Do you know the time?" " It's 8 o'clock." "Not again!" "The damn alarm clock didn't ring." "We'll have to hurry." "I can't be late." "Where is my manuscript?" " It's all right." "You can go." "If I don't make the speech, no one will know what's being opened." "Don't get in a tizzy." "We can breakfast in peace." "No question of it." "There's no time." "My honourable guests, most honourable Lord Mayor, hundreds of us are gathered here today because." "My honourable guests." " At least drink a cup of coffee." "What was that?" "Oh!" "Yes." "My honourable guests, most honourable Lord Mayor, hundreds of us are gathered here today because." "You're alone?" "Where are the others?" "He's about to leave the hotel!" "Quick, let's cross." "Does Sir require a car?" " Go away!" "Quick!" "He left the hotel already." "Attention." "He left the hotel already." "Mittenzwey unit!" "Here!" " You run after him." "And the motorized unit?" "Here!" " Await orders to join them!" "March!" "Number 11 isn't answering." "Come on." "Let's go up." "656 01:13:02,327 -- 01:13:06,201 Professor, the festival committee keeps calling." "It's high time you woke up." "My honourable guests, we are gathered." "Let's go!" "Gustav and I are going in." "Emil, you stay here." "When Gustav hoots, it's time." "Well?" "What do you want?" " It's his turn." " Can I help you?" "Could you please change a 100 Mark note for me?" "Certainly." "How would you like it?" " Two 50s perhaps." "That is stolen money!" "It's true!" "He wants to change it now, so no one will be able to prove it." "What did you say?" " Such cheek!" "I don't even know these boys." "What's the matter?" " The boys say I stole the money." " It's true!" "One 100 Mark note and two 20s, yesterday in the inter-regional train." "Can you prove it?" " I wasn't there!" "What a liar!" "It is my money!" "Be quiet!" "We'll keep the money here for now." "What is your name?" "He's called Grundeis." " My name is Mueller." "In the train yesterday, he said his name was Grundeis." "I swear it's my money." "That won't suffice." "One note looks like any other." "I give you my word of honour, it is my money." "I don't rob children." " Stop!" "I pinned the money inside my jacket." "The pinholes must still be visible." "It's true!" "Here are the other 40 Marks." "They must have pinholes too." "What is your name?" " Herbert Kiessling." "A con!" "First he says Grundeis, then Mueller, and now Kiessling." "Quiet." "We'll find it out." "So you didn't leave Berlin this week?" " No." "Where were you yesterday afternoon?" " In Steglitz." " And where?" "In the reading room." " That's another lie!" "He was in the Botanical Gardens." " And here's the proof!" "Very nice." "Please sit back down." "Who is this lady?" "We'll find that out as well." "Is that the same bag as in the photo?" "Is it the one?" "It looks like it." "You have no key and don't know what's in it?" "No." "And you don't know this gentleman either?" "Open it." "Find out who these two are." "Take the sweets to the lab." "And find out where that is." " Yes." "Do you recall the number he dialled?" "It was very easy to remember:" "91 99 99." "Well then, Mr. Kiessling, did you steal 140 Marks from Emil Tischbein?" "Yes." "I don't know, it happened so quickly." "The boy was asleep, and something fell out of his pocket." "I wanted to see what it was." "Well, well!" "I get my money back!" " Don't let anyone else steal it." "No question of that." " Can I go now?" "Yes." "And thank you." "We'll call you if we need you." "Can I go too?" "I did own up to the theft." "I'm staying at the Hotel Stephanie and I have business to attend to." "I see you're a joker." "But no, dear chap." "You're staying right here." "Here we are: the whole family." " There he is!" "There he is!" "Excuse me." "But I'm the grandmother, you see." "The boys are real detectives." " Yes, Emil!" "Greetings from Mama." "Don't be angry that she didn't send anything lately." "I brought it with me personally." "And when you travel by train, never take sweets from strangers!" "Sweets?" "Oh, that boy!" "Tarnow, no more stories." "Come with me." "Well, look who it is." "What's up?" "Come." "We're old acquaintances." " You don't say." "Don't stand on ceremony." " Well then, be seeing you." "CID." "Did you draw this?" "Yes." "It's this room, with the safe." "Why did you make such an exact drawing?" "Come with me." "I was so fond of him!" "Dismount!" "Stop!" "Stay where you are!" "Hands up!" "Now you get your favourite:" "macaroni with ham and parmesan." "Bon appetit." " Bon appetit." "Who's that now?" "I'm from the CID." "Can I speak to Emil Fischbein?" "You must mean Tischbein?" "Yes, he's here." "Good day." " Good day." "Excuse me." "Are you Emil Holzbein?" " Tischbein." "A nice name too." "Congratulations." " Whose birthday is it then?" "It's like this:" "the chap who was arrested belongs to a gang of burglars." "What?" " Impossible." " And all of them were arrested today." "An international gang." "There's a reward of 1000 Marks." "You get the reward because you put us on to him." "You get the dough." "A series of serious burglaries was cleared up." "We'd been after Engraver Johnny for ages." "He and his drugged sweets." "The Chief of Police sends his regards." "You're invited to Police Sports Day." "My congratulations." "You were splendid!" "How high is the reward?" "1000 Marks!" " Yes, yes!" "I like this." "I like this!" "I asked myself, why should the boy hang around here in the holidays." "Because my sister Martha had written, to say I should come." "Anna!" " Yes?" " Emil." "What's up with him?" " We just got the news." "Has something happened to him?" " He helped catch a gang of criminals." "He gets 1000 Marks reward." "And he's fine?" "He's fine!" "Mrs. Tischbein, look at this!" "Let me through." "Be quiet!" "See!" "Black on white:" ""Twelve year old catches dangerous gang of thieves"." "Golly gosh." " Here he is!" "That's my boy!" "That's a fine boy." "Hats off to you, Mrs. Tischbein." "Keep your hat on, if you please, Headmaster." "The way he's sitting!" "His jacket is all creased." "He should unbutton it when he sits." "But he can't hear me." "If that's all he gets wrong ." " A telegram for Tischbein." " Here." "Are you the father?" " Not yet." "But soon, hopefully." "No." "You open it." ""Congratulate you on your son." "Stop." "Await your arrival in Berlin with next aeroplane." "Stop." "Return trip paid." "The 'Morning Post' editor"." "By aeroplane?" "Mum!" "My boy!" "Hey Emil." "What's up with you?" "I see." "The story with the seal has blown over." "He wrote to say he's very well." "So I'm not going to prison?" " What?" "One of our best detectives?" "And the others?" " Are on probation." "Now it's my turn." "This is my mother." " Where on earth is your suit?" "In the closet." "We were all given a new suit because we prevented the burglary." "I'm to cordially invite you to come along to Police Sports Day, to which Emil and the detectives are already invited." "First we're going to buy an electric hairdrier with the reward money." "You can choose whichever you like." "But you don't yet know the latest." "We will wed." "Is that all right?" "Hey, Emil." "You're getting a new dad." "For me?" " Of course." "Who else could it be for?" "Sit down now, it's starting." "Ladies and gentlemen, we don't intend to miss this chance to greet a young guest here today." "He and his friends have set a splendid example of how the police and the public must work hand in hand." "Emil Tischbein." "I like this very much indeed!" "Subtitles Jill Denton"
