"The Fake" "Subtitles by Seglora" "There he is" "Now" "Where do you think you are going?" "It was not my fault" "Here,what are you doing?" "Wonna be good or goona pay up" "Wait a minute,wait a minute, you must be Mitchell" "Who are you?" "My name is Smith,President Investigation Officer of the Tinian Insurance Company" "I had all this from New York to contact you on arrival" "I don't usually take my orders quite so literally" "I'm supposed to work with you, co-operate so to speak" "Very co-operative beginning" "Yeah,I'm sure in the future we would work more efficiently" "I hope so" "He seems to got away" "Yes,looks like they did" "And it was all the same with you,I'll go and see what's being stolen" "First round in the sculpture hall" "Right" "Mr Randall,there has been a case stolen at the docks" "Case?" "Which case?" "Number 11" "What's in it?" "Have you got the manuscript?" "Yes" "Have you it available?" "Tintoretto,Mantegna,Tizian, here is case number 11" "It is a da Vinci" "A Leonardo" "The Madonna and Child that's the greatest treasure in the collection" "Mr Smith,are you absolutely sure about this?" "Sure,of course I'm sure my company got it insured for a million dollars,a million dollars" "This is terrible,what are we going to tell Madison" "You'd better get on to Scotland Yard right away,Peter" "Please,I have no time" "Wait a minute,it's that fellow,Mitchell" "I'm glad to get out of here,as soon as you tell me what to do with this" "Here you are in genuinely in perfect condition" "There it is?" "Property of Mr T Madison, New York City,New York" "Who on earth are you?" "Paul Mitchell is the name" "Here is a letter from Mr Madison, he explains all about it" "What am I supposed to do with this?" "I'll take care of that" "Put this in a safe at once" "Yes,Sir" "Madison cabled me about you" "Good" "What happened to case number 11 at the docks?" "Empty" "Travelled in the captain's safe" "I persuaded Mr Madison that it was dangerous for a mother and child to travel alone so he kind of made me the guardian" "Were you absolutely saved my bacon,Mitchell" "Wish I had something to thank you for" "My name is Peter Randall,I'm the director of the gallery" "How do you do" "This is Sir Richard Aldingham" "Hello,Sir Richard" "It all ended well" "Deep debt of thanks,Mr Mitchell" "Thank you,but I'm afraid I didn't do so much" "You did right for us,you saved the Leonardo" "That's because you're interested in just that picture you see I'm interested in couple of others as well" "You mean the ones who were stolen in Florence and New York" "Exactly there is a little matter of 50000 dollars reward for their recovery" "I might have been spending that money tonight if weren't for our eager beaver friend here" "I think I go and make up my report" "Good seeing you" "I hope you don't mind I'd like to see your security arrangements" "Really,Mr Mitchell,at this hour?" "I'd rather think he's right, Peter, if he wants to" "Very well,if you insist" "Thank you" "Who is Aldingham?" "Sir Richard?" "One of our most eminent private collectors" "It was Sir Richard who has done most of the work to persuade the American Bradley collectors to allow this exhibition" "I see" "Our paintings are fitted with quick removal locks,which we had especially designed" "We can get any cabinet painting out in thirty seconds" "In case of fire" "That works both ways,doesn't it?" "Quick for you,quick for the high starters" "I beg you pardon" "Crooks,burglars" "I suppose so,we never had any trouble here at the Tate,and I don't expect any" "The thief that stole the other two Leonardos from the galleries in Florence and New York substituted fake copies these fake were so good that they were not discovered for months" "No gallery in the world is safe so far as Leonardo is concerned" "I know,but this is England" "Have you forgotten somebody tried to steal that painting tonight at the docks?" "If that wasn't England then I came across an awful big lake" "Good Evening Mr Leonard" "Good Evening,Howard" "Each of our galleries is patrolled every three minutes during the nights and the watchman carries the key" "He has to turn these clocks to record the time he has patrolled" "A normal metallic alarm at the hall's midst" "I don't suppose anybody could have a duplicate key made?" "Or could they?" "Any other rooms in here besides the one I came in?" "The receiving mail and detected exhibits arriving and leaving .." "Through the back doors I suppose the door opens in and out" "The purpose of a door is that it opens one way or another" "What do you imply?" "Nothing except that the shipping line didn't specify which picture was in which case" "They only detailed manifest came to you people,here at Tate gallery yet the thief knew exactly where to look for the most valuable painting in the whole collection" "Somebody told him" "Are you satisfied with Randall's precautions?" "Nothing seems to impress him" "On the contrary I think they are darn good" "It's my job to look for flaws" "How many people do you expect will come through here and the shindig you gone a give" "Hundred,thousands we hope for this known exhibition" "That is the object of a gallery,isn't it?" "To let the public see great pictures" "Another Leonardo and other paintings are safety here you have nothing whatsoever to worry about" "The gallery is practically a strong box" "Mr Randall when you open this exhibition" "You also be opening the strong box" "Oh,the rhythm of the colour is astonishing deep,to conclude tempera" "There is Lady Ridesdale ,she never miss an opening which she knows how hot it is" "Drinks,Sir" "What do you do hanging around here?" "On the job,learning anything,the same as you" "So maybe you know me.What is this?" "It's a bob,a shilling" "A shilling and this is a penny?" "Waiter" "This is worth that much?" "It's bigger than that" "That is many big team perhaps in a small package" "Waiter!" "How does that go again?" "There is some" "Waiter" "I think you're being paged" "Waiter if you please" "Don't forget the Marx Brothers" "Coming,Madam" "Excuse me but,what do you get out of a picture like that?" "Each person gets out of a picture,exactly what it chooses to" "Enjoying yourself,Mitchell" "Yes,so far,and think you had a smash opening here" "Suppose all these people are all right" "Of course" "None of them would get in without a ticket" "Yes" "Peter" "Superb brushwork, how did get into this?" "Excellent,Madam,his brushwork was terrible" "But he didn't paint it anyway" "It was done of student Benedetti who was no good either" "Why do you have to say things like that?" "Why not?" "These works are pictures and people that makes the masterpiece" "This man knew what he was up to" "I beg you pardon where you invited here?" "What that's to you?" "Please,it's perfectly all right" "As far as I go how about you?" "I work here,this is my father" "Oh is that so" "Yes,it is" "If you don't believe me you can ask Mr Randall and Sir Richard Aldingham" "I'll tell you what they are standing right over there, what do you say if we ask them?" "No,I do not want to talk to them" "Please,dad" "We'd better go off" "Here's a couple of phonies who got in through your infallible security arrangements up your solid steps" "I'm sorry,Mr Randall,I" "Mary,I don't understand" "All you had to do was to ask me for an invitation for your father" "I ask no favours from anyone" "Nor does my daughter" "But you are always welcome" "Kind of you" "I've seen enough" "You only understand an artist who has been dead for centuries" "Dad" "I'm sorry,Mary" "Do you mind if I join my father?" "Well,Mitchell,that was quite unnecessary" "Who is this Mason?" "He is an unfortunate chap, he could been a good painter he is a brilliant draughtsman but he's been defeated by his own stupid ideas what painting should be,his daughter works here in the gallery" "She really does?" "Excuse me" "Miss Mason" "Don't leave it here,I want to apologize to you,Miss Mason" "I want to say I was sorry before you did" "Before I did?" "Yes,you see,if you hadn't done what you did,I wouldn't have done what I did" "You are blocking my way,please" "Miss Mason" "But Miss Mason those high as and flat eees they just sounds home to me, Chicago,Kansas City,maybe" "Let me by" "You can help me,Miss Mason,I don't know a darned thing about art" "Up until now I didn't much care but I will be eager in it" "Why don't you take this" "A little clumsy,if I may say so,old jest" "Now if I'd been you I'd send her a mass of flowers within a day or two" "A day or two?" "With something as pretty as that you don't waste a second" "Maybe he's right" "Miss Mason?" "Mr Randall said you wanted to see me" "What about?" "Buy you a cup of tea" "And try if you like to make up for yesterday" "Mr Mitchell you don't think I really that naive" "I don't know you well enough to even guess how naive you are" "I just don't see why there should be any bad feelings between the only two Americans in the place" "Especially if one of them is very pretty" "The words out all of the gallery is that you are checking on me and please I assume this is my turn" "You certainly have a suspicious nature" "I do not know what I can do to convince you that I am in the love boat" "Of course ,you probably won't believe it but I stayed up half the night reading this book of yours" "Did you enjoy it?" "Let's say maybe I didn't understand all of it and I thought that maybe you well you might be able to spare the time and explain it to me?" "Of all horrors" "Mr Mitchell you are wanted on the telephone outside over there" "Thanks" "Don't run away,yah" "Has that occurred to you,if you think" "Hello ,operator,Mr Mitchell, you had a call for me" "My New York call,yes will you put it through this extension please" "Thank you" "Hello,Mr Madison,Mitchell" "No,everything is fine" "I wanted if you could tell me the dates of the thefts of the Leonardo from Florence and New York" "That long ago" "Well,anyway see if you can find out of an artist by the name of Henry Mason was in Florence and New York on those dates" "No,I know you never heard of him, his name is Henry Mason M A S O N" "All right,Mr Madison,next time I'll write" "Thank you for staying on your own" "Not at all" "About that book,Mr Mitchell,what was it you didn't understand" "The book,well it was,matter of fact" "I was hoping we maybe could have dinner today and talk it over" "About art?" "You do have a very suspicious nature" "Sugar" "Oh,yes,two please" "I was reading in here about" "Leonardo da Vinci" "You were?" "There is a description somewhere in here the place he lived" "Florence in Italy have you ever been there?" "No" "Neither do I,I'd like to go some time" "Except I was in serving in the war other than that this is the first time I've ever been outside the USA" "Your father being an artist, alas,I guess you travel a lot" "Mr Mitchell,if you want my biography why don't you ask for it?" "Miss Mason" "I was born in Los Angeles 1927 ten first high school at 2 years at Primark my father Henry Mason married an American my mother when I was still very young, they were divorced,three years ago my mother died" "and decided to come and join my father here,I've never been in Florence or another place in Italy,spent a few weekends in Paris,please" "Next time that you decide to take a weekend in Paris,let me know,will you?" "Next time you want to discuss a book,why don't you read it first?" "There is not one word about the bit in that" "Good Bye,Sherlock" "You failed me" "Good Afternoon,Sir" "How do you do" "I'm looking for a painting by an artist named Henry Mason" "Henry Mason,I don't think I know his work" "Mr Mason would be very sorry to hear you say that especially since he once had an exhibition here" "1939 I read there was not very much demand for his work however if you are interested now in modern paintings" "I'm not,I'm interested in Henry Mason" "Thank you,Governor" "Doesn't the competition in there sometimes bother you?" "No fear,Governor,they must go in there free to look at the pictures comes out here and pays good money,look at mine" "I don't blame them,some of yours should be in there" "Glad to meet you again" "Why don't you cut it out,say,how would you like to help me instead of annoying me" "I told you,my dear fellow, I absolutely at your service" "Good, do you know anything about paintings?" "George,the distinguished pavement artist who you were talking to outside,looks upon me like a bit of connoisseur" "I dare say,I'll tell you what I want to find" "I want a painting by Henry Mason and I've been to practically every gallery in London and they have nothing" "Perhaps,he hasn't been painting much lately" "You know these fellows get rather discouraged that they don't get commissioned" "I see" "Fateful idea,do you think do you know where we could find him?" "Yes at Thirty Gun.These painter chaps usually collect the staff" "Come on let's go" "Yes,in there I'll buy you one" "Same again" "Look here,Mr Mason,I can't serve you with another drink" "I've had strict orders no to give you any more credit" "Large whisky,please" "For you?" "Let me have a scotch and a tall glass with plenty of ice" "You're an American,aren't you?" "How do you know?" "Hello Mr Mason,remember me?" "Yes,you were the disagreeable fellow from the Tate" "But I go on people" "The layer of onion and you learn to hate me" "Shall I buy you a drink?" "Thank you,buy my owns" "Nice pup,I had a dog like him once" "The vet told me to rub salts on him, said he was doing it for his coat" "I practically smothered him in it, he went outside it started to rain he fizzed over like a giant alcozade,you see" "people in the town thought it was the maddest dog they'd ever seen" "You do portraits,don't you,Mr Mason?" "Yes,if I like the subject" "You'll like this subject,she is lovely" "About your daughter to get down to work" "What's she done?" "You want a portrait of Mary?" "That's a general idea" "That's learn about the bit we are going to go" "Maybe,but don't tell her that I want it" "So do you?" "Yeah" "Have a drink" "Thank you I will" "Miss" "I don't understand, I don't understand it at all" "A good model has two virtues" "First you want to paint her,second she must sit still so you can paint her" "You never wanted to paint me before" "This is commissioned,my dear, I'm going to be paid for it" "A man wanted a picture of a beautiful woman and well haven't I one about the house" "But who commissioned the painting?" "For heavens sake,sit still and let me go on with it" "I'd like to pay some of that bills for a change" "Dad as if I cared" "Thank you,my dear" "You know if I could catch some of that inward beauty of yours" "I too would be one of the world's great artists" "Come on,cheer up" "Thank you" "Anything that may interest me?" "Something about da Vinci perhaps" "I know a swell circulating library that we could go to together" "I don't think we would enjoy the same kind of fiction,I don't like crime stories" "Love stories?" "Even less" "It is cool in London today" "Hi,Cartwright" "Busy" "Don't get sour,that's what's I'm here to talk to you about,business" "Say how do you fellows tell the difference between an original like this and a fake?" "It's easy you take an X ray" "You see in an original painting you can see the paint behind the paint" "It comes from the artist building the picture up" "In a copy,a fake,the details go straight on to the canvas" "Is that the only way you can tell?" "No,lots of other tests too, test on the background,the brushwork pigments,the manor of mixing the whole technique was different in those days" "Oh, I see" "If I brought you a picture" "Could you tell me if it were, well if it were done in the style and technique of the masters?" "Certainly" "Why?" "Because the da Vinci substitutes in Florence and New York was done in just that manner" "I think I know the fellow who did them" "I'm not sure yet but when I am,we'll nail him, and it may now not be long now either" "Thanks,Cartwright" "It's good dad,it's absolutely wonderful,don't go spoiling it" "Who's the artist in this family?" "Do I interfere in your apartment?" "You certainly do,I got dinner on the stove" "I'll answer it" "Hello" "Good Evening,Mr Mason" "Come in" "I'm sorry" "It's all right" "Is it finished?" "Have a look" "Oh yes,it's wonderful,beautiful" "You've caught just the right qualities" "Suspicion,spirit,high tempered" "Did you commission that painting?" "Hello,I didn't know that you were home?" "Yes, sure I did" "I'm beginning to appreciate beauty since I've been on this job" "I'll tell you what,Mr Mason" "If your daughter doesn't mind I'll like to present it with this portrait" "I wouldn't mind it I don't want it" "You just told me you liked it" "You keep it then,that way I can come here and look at it every once in a while" "The customer is the fate of my masterpieces,I have them all" "In the meanwhile why don't you give me another one?" "That one over there the one in the blue and yellow,that'll be nice" "One of my favourites" "You know Mitchell you've got a good eye" "Hasn't he,Mary?" "You have" "How about joining us for dinner" "I'm sure Mr Mitchell is busy tonight" "As a matter of fact I'm not, of course I hate to intrude" "Feel at home" "Thanks" "Go on,sit down" "Thank you after that warm invitation how could I refuse" "Over there please" "Yes ,Mum" "I'll have to go and get another plate" "Don't bother" "Tell you what,Mary" "Dad" "How about making this dinner for three stretch as far as two" "I think it his time to take this Dobberman for walk" "Don't you?" "Come along,beauty" "What?" "I hate this formal dining" "I was so far away I thought you maybe couldn't hear me" "You are a nut" "Go on and help yourself" "Am I forgiven?" "Mitchell is still up there" "Good.Please stay here if he comes out before midnight and heads for gallery,stop him,got it?" "Right" "And that one,and that one is an egg tempera" "No,it's a gouache" "For a detective you're not very smart" "Who said detective,I'm in business for myself" "All kind?" "Anything that's exciting where I can make a dollar or two" "I like to think of myself as an opportunist" "Speaking of opportunity" "I see I have to watch you" "Come on let's get back to lesson,what's that?" "Elaborate tana,don't tell me wait a minute,you told me a minute ago that's another gouache" "You haven't mind a thing" "Quite contrary" "I grudge you a quite a girl" "Thanks" "With a lovely smile,and just about the cutest angle I've seen a long time" "You think so" "I think so" "I see I'm going to have to watch you" "Mitchell,mutual admiration society is closed today" "What's the matter with you, don't you like to hear pretty things?" "What?" "Listen to them all night" "Well,that" "When I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn,and go to work" "I see,but I only forget my picture" "Oil painting" "You see,you learn anything after all" "Maybe you are surprised" "Midnight?" "The magic witch hour" "Excuse me I'm looking everywhere for Crescent Square" "I'm sorry I can't help you I'm a stranger in London myself" "You don't know where Crescent Square is?" "Never heard of it" "It seems to me London is full of strangers tonight" "Mitchell,Mitch are you all right?" "Yeah" "Thanks,thanks mate,thanks a lot" "Would you mind getting me" "Sure,sure" "Tomorrow I'll be carrying me an umbrella,it comes in handy" "Thanks" "I wonder what those fellows were after" "They surely didn't try to knock the daylights of you for that" "I wouldn't be too sure" "This is what they were after, my hunch about it is right" "Let's go and get Cartwright I'd like him to take a look at this" "My dear fellow it is after midnight" "Then we'll wake him up" "No,wait a minute,you go and get Cartwright, meet me at the Tate right away" "I only hope you know what you are doing" "Sure Mr Mitchell it's a bit late for you,isn't it?" "I'm just snooping around" "Good Evening,Mr Mitchell" "Is everything all right?" "Quiet as a tomb,Sir" "Quiet as a tomb" "Please,please" "Look,Benson,who's that?" "I don't know,Sir" "Hey" "Hey you" "Is there another way out of here?" "Yes,through the Turner gallery" "You get out there" "What's happened" "Not sure,somebody is lose in here" "That blow the fuses" "Get down and get them fixed straight away" "Did you find him?" "No,you tried to gallery over there" "I'll try the one on this side" "Right" "Got to be right here somewhere" "There he is" "He can't make it,move the ladder" "Try to get him outside" "What's happened?" "Someone made an attempt to get the Leonardo" "Have a look at it,will you,Cartwright" "How long ago was all this?" "All by five minutes" "Nothing seemed to me any damage" "What exactly happened,Sir?" "I was sitting in my office, when I heard the alarm" "So I jumped up and put on the.." "Shallow way I promise one of the big ladder out of the skylights led to a finger like a piece of soap" "It looks that you scared him all in just in time" "Perhaps,but I'm not taking any chances" "Cartwright,please go to work on this as quickly you can" "I'll work through the night" "Thanks,take it down" "Cartwright,what about might take a look at this" "Your hunch?" "That's right" "It's a copy,a fake" "The most perfect I've ever seen" "Three da Vincis stolen in the past four years" "Three of the world's most priceless masterpieces gone" "Lost,perhaps forever" "Why?" "You just answered that question yourself" "They are priceless" "You and your reward money" "The way you value things these paintings would be worthless" "Because in the open market they wouldn't pay a penny" "Calm now,Peter,now you see Mr Mitchell these paintings are far too world famous for anybody to dare to sell them or by the same table to buy them" "As you say in your country, they are too hot to handle" "That's why we cannot understand why anybody wants to steal them" "But somebody did,Sir" "Yes,that's fair true" "I suppose the next step is to call the police" "No,wait a minute" "I've an idea" "If you give me just a few days, don't say anything to anyone" "You mean put this back on the gallery" "Deceive the public?" "Why not?" "Public was deceived in Florence and New York for quite a while" "Yes it could take it to London for a few days" "Or what do you say?" "How about you think what I ought to do about it , Richard?" "After all it's Mr Mitchell who has to explain things to Mr Madison" "And it's agreed?" "Good" "Yes" "Cartwright" "Now we get about another matter" "Stay with him,will you Smith" "OK" "Hi" "Hi" "They tell me you were late this morning" "Have you taken the time cards" "Just impatience that's it all, a nice thing is not far away" "We got a date,you remember" "Oh yes" "Mary,you know how I find your dad?" "No,I don't Paul" "I'm worried about him" "Worried,why?" "He didn't come home last night" "He didn't?" "No" "I wouldn't worry about that,if I were you,he is probably out with the boys" "Just had one too many" "Is that supposed to make me feel god" "I'm sorry" "You are awfully fond of your dad,aren't you?" "Yes a wonderful guy,that's not just because he is my father" "I know people weren't fad on his work" "He goes right on to what he thinks is right,and that's pretty rare" "Yes,you bet it is" "Did I tell you that the portrait was really beautiful?" "Something like that" "Why didn't you take it?" "I don't know,can't talk to me, can't go to theatre with me" "What sort of a future is a fellow going to expect" "Just a portrait" "What does a fellow know what kind of future he wants" "Don't answer that" "How about buying me a cup of coffee?" "You wondered what sort of future,a fellow wants" "Mitchell" "I've been be looking for you everywhere" "I've never seen anything so excellent" "There are no modern synthetic colours in this picture at all" "You allow them,later,Cartwright I see you in the lab" "But there is no need,I tell you these colours are grant and mixed in the exactly the same way the old masters used to use theirs" "May I see it?" "Mary,you wouldn't be interested" "Why are you having my father's picture analysed?" "It's nothing" "Nothing" "To take an artist's work under a false pretences to question his daughter about his movements has he been to Florence, has he been to New York to snoop around his studio pretending to court the daughter" "But I can explain the whole thing" "Please do" "I thought so" "If there is something underhand if you are looking for you need to look no further than yourself" "Mary" "I see,that's all right" "Sorry if I said anything wrong" "Look this picture really is an incredibly discovery" "The blue for instance it's not cobalt or ultramarine or any of the modern colours that's used today" "Yah" "It's Lapis Lazuli which they used before the modern paints with a base of oil of close and beeswax added as a bunker" "It looks like your hunch was right,old boy" "Yes,so it is" "Here,come up close and I'll show you some" "You know these actually here that" "Listen,Mitch" "Henry Mason has just been in the building and been looking at the Leonardo" "The attendant said he bashed out as if he had seen a ghost" "It all seems to fit" "Mason's painting,Cartwright's analyses,the Leonardo fake" "Why?" "Because Mason mixes the blue as Leonardo did?" "Must be dozens of painters that mixes colours in the same way" "Yes,but he was in Florence, when the Leonardo was stolen and in New York when another one Leonardo was stolen" "How do you know that?" "A cable for you,old boy" "Sorry I opened it but I take it that if you'd been me you'd done the same so I did" "Mason in Florence and New York as Specified,Madison" "We have a man in the Yard and get him pulled in for interrogation" "No,Smith,I don't want to tell anybody of this yet" "Oh listen it's natural how you feel about Mary but I think you're taking a terrible chance,I mean might.." "Please leave Mary out of this,the only chance I'm taking for a 50000 $ reward if this things comes up I'll cut your reward what do you say?" "Naturally,boy, I am not going to keep my nose out of a bit of cash" "Let's find Mason before somebody else does" "Wait a minute,Mary" "Is your dad around?" "No" "You know where he is?" "I haven't the slightest idea" "We'll find him sooner or later, you are not doing him any good this way" "Believe me I want to give him a break" "Just what kind of a break are you trying to give him?" "Mary your dad is in a jam" "I think he paints phoney pictures,I'd thought" "You have nerve accusing my father of dishonesty" "Mary I am on his side" "Time,gentlemen,please" "I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to go,Sir" "Closing times,Sir" "Just had forgotten" "Hello,Mitch" "Hi,where have you been?" "Partly around the world the way my feet feel your hunch was right,Mr Pettigrew is a colour merchant in Banton road" "He got a customer who sells Lapis Lazuli" "Mind you I do not want to get into trouble" "No,you won't?" "Who is he?" "He doesn't know" "Describe him" "He is about my height" "Yes" "Yes,he is much older than I am" "Oh,great" "Now you know what I've been through" "My sister has a mole like that on the back of her hand" "How is that Mr Pettigrew ?" "My sister,I was thinking about the other gentleman,he has got a mole on his head" "He has a mole on his head?" "Of course" "Peter Randall he has got a mole" "That's ridiculous Randall has been with Tate for years" "You are barking up the wrong tree" "At least it is a tree to bark up" "I don't suppose he knows where he lives" "He doesn't think he would" "Yes,but my son does,he once delivered some stuff to him down at the Ward Side Hostel" "Ward Side Hostel,Mr Pettigrew,I just bought you a drink,come on Smith" "Thank you .Thank you very much" "I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to drink up,Sir" "Drink up?" "Oh no thank you,I hate this stuff" "This is it" "Where are you going?" "We are doing a search of articles for good house keeping" "Mind if we have a look around?" "Go way you like help yourself,in there" "Let's go,you take that side,I'll take this one" "A mole on the head" "See anything?" "Plenty of bumps and bunions but no moles" "You had a barmy at the millions?" "Yes I think so,what for?" "I want to book you in for tonight" "Here?" "Sure" "This fellow may still come back" "I want to go over to Tate and have a little talk with our friend Randall" "Listen,old boy,you can't leave me here ,don't have a pyjama" "What's your fare?" "Hello George a bit late tonight" "Yes,we had a busy day during the coronation picture" "How is it going?" "It's coming on all right,if it don't rain" "Hello George" "Blimey,if it isn't the top from the Tate" "What are you doing here?" "Just dropped in to see you" "How?" "What about?" "What do you use Lapis Lazuli for?" "Lapiz?" "You leave me alone I don't know nothing about it" "Like to come and tell that to the police" "The police?" "They ain't got nothing on me, I always paint for the staff" "Now listen George who did you buy it for?" "It's either me or the police" "All right,governor,it's Mr Mason but he would do no one any harm, he always treated me fair,a gentleman he is" "I want to help him, where he is?" "I always took the stuff to a shack by the river,there where he does his work" "Come on George,we are going" "Yes,but I ain't had me supper yet" "Where is the yellow phone box" "There is one outside around here" "A real gentleman he is" "Don't you worry ,George,he'll be all right" "All right where is he?" "I don't like it but this is where he used to go" "Mr Mason?" "Mr Mason" "Mr Mason" "Mr Mason" "Mind you,old girl,poor chap" "Thank you for coming down ,Mr Randall, I think that's all we can do here" "Now I like a word with your friend,Mr Mitchell" "Certainly,Inspector" "Mr Mitchell" "If you'd handled this differently and informed the proper authorities of your suspicions we might have been able to prevent this tragedy" "In this country every ordinary citizen is expected to work with the police" "And I want you to know that I hold you entirely responsible" "I shall raise with Madison to recall you immediately" "I'm sorry young man" "Somebody has to tell Mary" "I know how you must feel" "How am I supposed to tell her?" "Sorry of her father's death, sorry I put him in such a spot" "But he was guilty,Mitch" "No,not of stealing pictures anyway and he didn't commit suicide,he was murdered" "Murdered?" "You know Henry Mason he was a fighter,he wasn't a quitter" "Somebody knew we were getting too close" "Smithy,someone who knew Mason would tell us who he painted his copies for" "If we can find that man,we'll know who murdered him" "Anything I can do?" "I need you to wish me luck" "Looks like I'm going to need it" "I don't see how I can help" "My connection with Tate gallery is entirely unofficial" "I'm only concerned with the present exhibition" "I know but I'm only asking to put a word in for me,Sir Richard" "I could only do that if I was convinced that you were capable of helping" "I'm sorry,Mr Mitchell, there is nothing I can do" "Would it interest you to know that I think Henry Mason was murdered?" "When everyone else thinks he committed suicide" "I sympathize with you,Mitchell, it's never pleasant to face defeat" "But I always thought you were a little optimistic" "I shan't take any more of your time,Sir Richard" "Can I get you a taxi?" "Thank you" "Mr Mitchell,I hope you don't think I was disagreeable or uncooperative" "I really would have liked to have helped you" "It's quite all right,Sir Richard" "Good Night" "I though I told you not to come here" "I know but I couldn't help it" "What did Mitchell want" "He is a fool,he's been recalled to New York,he wanted me to help him" "I don't like it,he's getting too close" "Losing your nerve,Weston" "You're in the clear" "I'm the only one that knows about you" "Yes,that's true" "You are the only one on earth" "I've done all the dirty work,haven't I?" "My dear fellow,when you came to me you were a bored with the civilian life after the army" "you wanted adventure,excitement and money" "Well,I've kept my part of the bargain, I gave you ample opportunity for all three" "I know about all that" "But I didn't know it would end in murder" "Would it be better to be sad?" "Are you quite sure of that?" "No,there is one other person who might stumble on the fact that Mason worked for me" "Who?" "His daughter,Mary" "She is our only danger" "She is probably very distraught of the death of her father her suicide would be quite understandable" "Well I won't do it" "Listen,Aldingham" "I want to get out of the country" "Now" "And you are going to help me" "But I've already told you are perfectly safe" "Yes you won't be unless I am" "Yes, yes perhaps you are right" "Perhaps it is too dangerous for you" "I'm sure nobody saw you as you came in" "Do you think I'd take that chance" "No" "We won't take any more chances" "You don't need me any more" "You got your three pictures" "I think you ought to go to Paris in the morning" "Don't you worry about money or anything I'll fix that" "And I contact you in the usual method" "Right" "And be careful that no one sees you as you go out" "Don't you worry about me" "Hello" "Hello,is that you Mary,my dear" "This is Richard Aldingham here" "I'd been worrying about you ever since I heard the death from your look here you can't stay in that place alone,love" "No,no I won't hear of it" "Why not let me come around pick you up and bring you back here and drive you down to my sister in Surrey" "No,no,no" "She knew your father and she admired him" "You pack a few things and I'll come around and pick you up" "All right,good bye" "We are turbs and pouring down" "It's you Mitch, been quite a shock" "What are you doing here" "Not that I am rather worried" "I lost my umbrella I thought I might have left it here" "How about you?" "I don't really know,Smitty" "Because if I don't find something here I'm stranded" "It's a dead end" "Still I feel there must be a clue a link of some sorts,this is where he worked" "Makes these paints" "Scotland Yard had been through the paintings with a fine tooth comb" "Still somehow" "Better leave it for tonight" "Come on,I'll buy you a drink" "And get some sleep" "I suppose you're right" "Say" "What?" "Smitty come a minute" "Take a look at this" "A sketch of a room in somebody's house" "A whole folder over here" "It's Richard Aldingham's house,his study, I was there ,I saw it,columns,the chair" "Maybe his pictures went there" "Perhaps he took them down" "Maybe they are behind the palls,a room like this when I.." "Is still wet?" "Smitty,take a look at these,these are supposed to be the missing Leonardos" "Of course I'd said,Mason knew with a sense he is going to be killed he left us a clue and the only way the poor devil knew how" "Mitchell I believe you are right but it's Sir Richard why should he" "Collector have been known to steal before to possess something they can't own can become a mania" "In Aldinghams case has even let to murder" "What do you want me to do?" "You heard what the inspector said call the police,let them take over" "Wait a minute,Mitchell,you can't get a warrant to search" "Sir Richard Aldingham's house on the evidence like that it's ony a hunch" "OK,I'm in so much trouble now a little more won't matter I'll get the proof" "Come on" "What are you up yo now" "Never mind about that" "You get down to the police find out the Inspector" "Tell him what we found out" "He is dead" "Now we'll just have a drink" "Then I'll telephone my sister that we are on our way it ill only take five minutes" "Yes,it's awfully kind of you,Sir Richard" "Quite a sight isn't it?" "Good Evening,Mary" "I'll got to hand it to you Sir Richard" "You think of everything" "Mr Mitchell I don't know why you are in my house how you got here,but I like you to leave" "What do you do sit around here look at them all by yourself?" "Leonardos aren't they?" "Once again you are mistaken, Mr Mitchell,those are copies" "Copies?" "I am sorry you should know about this Mary but those pictures are copies that I have commissioned your father to paint for me" "I did it more to give him employment than anything else" "You know how proud he was of his reputation" "So naturally I told nobody what he was doing" "I understand" "Now,you don't understand,Mary,listen to me" "He double crossed your father all here in he paint copies for him all right" "But then he had someone else steal the originals and replace them with your fathers pictures in Florence and in New York" "That was to give him time to get them out of the country before the theft was discovered" "But then he little greedy and tried to do it over here in Tate, The Madonna and Child will prove that,watch" "You know what this is?" "Acid" "Acid eats paint I've been told" "Get away from that picture" "Why?" "Would you shoot a man destroying a worthless copy?" "I said get away from that painting" "You'd better be a good shot good boy one drop of this acid will ruin your precious painting" "You're bluffing the wrong person,Mitchell" "Richard" "Richard" "I might you thank you one of these days" "You have ruined one of the greatest paintings in the world" "Well,now you are talking,Richard" "Just what I wanted you to hear you say" "But you are wrong,you fell for your own gag,Randall and I robbed the Tate" "I switched the paintings on him" "Here you are" "One genuine Leonardo" "In perfect condition" "That before you go is the Madonna and the Child, Leonardo da Vinci's famous masterpiece" "Leonardo,the greatest genius the world has ever known was born in Italy in 1452" "Subtitles by Seglora"
