00:22:49Up my dear Mason, I'm sorry I had to drag you up. I hope the journey hasn't tired you.
00:22:53No thanks, I feel fine.
00:22:55Why dear Ivan, how good to see you.
00:22:57Monsieur, you must forgive me, I...
00:23:00I told you, the accidents affected his memory.
00:23:02Yes, yes, yes, I know, but surely you remember me?
00:23:06Ivan, me, Dmitri, Dmitri, Berlenkov.
00:23:09Berlenkov, we are great friends.
00:23:12How, when did I know you?
00:23:15Now, sit down and rest your leg.
00:23:17It is extraordinary that your memory
00:23:19can have gone so completely.
00:23:21But tell me, do you not remember your trip to Brussels?
00:23:24And after this, you were going to take a holiday.
00:23:27Hiking, hiking, isn't that the word?
00:23:30I'm sorry, I remember nothing, I only wish I could.
00:23:33Now, let me explain.
00:23:34I made some inquiries about your passport
00:23:36and through an old patient of mine in the diplomatic service,
00:23:40he put me in touch with Mr. Berlenkov here,
00:23:41who turned out to be an old friend of yours.
00:23:44Whiskey?
00:23:45Please, I think perhaps...
00:23:46Three large whiskeys and sodas.
00:23:47Thank you, sir.
00:23:48It appears that through a man called Pierre Greville,
00:23:50you had a job, not with the embassy,
00:23:53but with an organization working very closely with them.
00:23:55I can't believe it.
00:23:57But I interviewed you myself, I gave you work.
00:24:00Work?
00:24:01What work?
00:24:03You cannot remember, I cannot tell you, not now.
00:24:06But I assure you, it was perfectly honest work.
00:24:09I know you would wish to be assured of that.
00:24:12I still can't believe it.
00:24:14Why not?
00:24:14Well, so you want proof, sir?
00:24:17Well, how can you prove it?
00:24:19I don't want to be rude, but with my memory gone,
00:24:21you could say I'd live for a week
00:24:22on top of Nelson's column, I wouldn't know.
00:24:24You are perfectly right, my dear Ivan, to demand proof.
00:24:27And I've got it here.
00:24:28Now, this is from the files from one of our departments,
00:24:32the Department of Trade.
00:24:33Assigned receipt for 250 pounds.
00:24:36This is our signature.
00:24:39Well, you had finished one work for us
00:24:41and you were going to undertake another assignment.
00:24:47You are due to go to Russia in two weeks.
00:24:49We booked your package.
00:24:51Russia?
00:24:52Why should I go to Russia?
00:24:53Why not?
00:24:54It's only for a month and it's a personal thing as well.
00:24:58Well, you wanted to go yourself.
00:24:59You asked me for the job.
00:25:01I asked you?
00:25:03But why on earth should I?
00:25:05Now, that I have got to tell you about this,
00:25:07this is incomprehensible.
00:25:10Incomprehensible?
00:25:11Oh, yes, of course.
00:25:12I always mispronounce those long words.
00:25:16I'm only repeating what you told me yourself.
00:25:18You wanted to visit your mother.
00:25:20She is Russian.
00:25:22Russian.
00:25:23Then I'm half Russian.
00:25:25Yes, of course, we checked on that.
00:25:28Now, your mother married an Englishman, Charles Mason.
00:25:31When he died, she went back to Russia.
00:25:33And now she's seriously ill in Moscow
00:25:35and naturally she wants to see you.
00:25:37And this is what I meant when I said a personal thing.
00:25:41I don't know what to say.
00:25:43I think that's enough talking for one day.
00:25:45Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course.
00:25:47Well, you think it over for a day or two
00:25:49and then you call me when you have made up your mind.
00:25:52We'll do anything we can to help.
00:25:54Thank you, Mr. Billington.
00:25:55You're going, of course.
00:25:58I don't know.
00:26:01I just don't know.
00:26:03But you must go.
00:26:04Seeing your mother again may bring back your memory.
00:26:08I'm scared, I think.
00:26:10Scared of leaving here.
00:26:13Leaving you.
00:26:15Silly, you'll come back fit and well.
00:26:18All your trouble's over.
00:26:20And you won't need me then.
00:26:22I'm going.
00:26:31I must fly.
00:26:32I'll come back later.
00:26:34Perhaps.
00:26:53Hey, wait till I tell you.
00:26:55I've just had a...
00:26:56You wouldn't have a sup of whiskey handy, would you?
00:26:58No, I'm sorry.
00:26:58No, well, I've just had a bit of a barney with Manning.
00:27:01He wants Cattle to get rid of me, do you see?
00:27:04Well, as I said before, I like you.
00:27:05I'm very grateful to you.
00:27:06And before I go, I've got something to tell you.
00:27:10Well, you'd better hurry up then.
00:27:11You'll get into real trouble if they catch you in here.
00:27:13Oh, no, not here.
00:27:14No, it'll take too long.
00:27:15Besides, it'll be day in, day out.
00:27:17I've got to go.
00:27:17I've got to go.
00:27:18I've got to go.
00:27:19I've got to go.
00:27:20I've got to go.
00:27:21Besides, it'll be dangerous
00:27:22if they can't be talking to you here.
00:27:24Better be outside somewhere.
00:27:26All right, where do you suggest we meet?
00:27:28Well, I'll tell you what.
00:27:30I'll give them the slip after lunch tomorrow,
00:27:32and I'll meet you at the Two Horseshoes at Medworth.
00:27:36And you may as well bring a couple of pounds with you.
00:27:38Oh, really?
00:27:40Oh, you needn't laugh.
00:27:42You'll be needing a drink yourself
00:27:43when you hear what I've got to tell you.
00:27:46Yeah, you're quite sure you haven't got something around?
00:27:52That's a pity.
00:28:16Listen, Mason, I like you,
00:28:18and that's why I want to tip you off before I go.
00:28:21Well, go on then.
00:28:21Tell me what it's all about.
00:28:22Why don't you think my name's Mason?
00:28:24Well, when I came along first,
00:28:27I had a patient.
00:28:29He was dying.
00:28:30Two weeks they were waiting for him to die.
00:28:32They wouldn't let me see him.
00:28:34Well, he died all right.
00:28:36The body disappeared.
00:28:38And that very same night you were brought in,
00:28:40I was there.
00:28:41I was there.
00:28:42I was there.
00:28:43I was there.
00:28:44That very same night you were brought in unconscious.
00:28:46They found you on the road.
00:28:49You were the patient I was waiting for.
00:28:51What do you make of that?
00:28:52An accident?
00:28:53Now, wait.
00:28:54Now, leave us alone.
00:28:55If I lose my nerve,
00:28:56you know, I won't be able to tell you anything at all.
00:28:58Well, go on.
00:28:59Go on.
00:29:00I warn you, Katchell will show me nothing but kindness.
00:29:02Oh, Katchell.
00:29:04Professor Katchell.
00:29:07Admit it.
00:29:08You were unconscious when you were brought in,
00:29:10but there was nothing much else wrong with you.
00:29:12Nothing wrong.
00:29:13Broken leg, my arm, my head.
00:29:17Your leg wasn't broken.
00:29:19Just a little cartilage trouble, that's all.
00:29:21Sure, I put it into plaster myself.
00:29:24As for the arm,
00:29:25well, that was just a cut done in the nursing home.
00:29:28But what for?
00:29:29Why did you do this?
00:29:31Why did I do it?
00:29:33Sure, I had to.
00:29:34You see, I had a spot of bother with the medical council.
00:29:37That's why I'm not practicing anymore.
00:29:39I'm hired up.
00:29:41These fellas gave me a hundred pounds.
00:29:44Then I was to get another hundred
00:29:44after you leaving the nursing home.
00:29:46I had to keep me mouth shut, that's all.
00:29:49Well, I like it.
00:29:50Now, look, cut that out.
00:29:52You're not gonna get drunk
00:29:53until you've told me what all this is about.
00:29:54All right, all right.
00:29:55I meant it sincerely.
00:29:58The reason for the cut in the arm was this.
00:30:01First, so you wouldn't be able to write properly.
00:30:04And then to provide a cover for the tattooing.
00:30:08By the way, as I did that,
00:30:10it wasn't very difficult, really.
00:30:13No, I read it off the week I was waiting to come in.
00:30:18So now you see why I think
00:30:19your name mightn't be Mason at all.
00:30:21My head, did you do that too?
00:30:23Oh, the head, that was genuine.
00:30:24You got the knock on the head all right.
00:30:27No, I only prescribed the histamine injections.
00:30:30Oh, that was to bring on the severe head pains.
00:30:33Thanks very much.
00:30:34Any other prescriptions?
00:30:35Oh, no, only the sodium amytal.
00:30:39To keep you unconscious.
00:30:42It has a relatively short duration of action.
00:30:44Those catholics would get at you when you came round.
00:30:47Get at me?
00:30:48They photographed you as well, I think.
00:30:50And they gave you ulcerated ray treatment.
00:30:53Yeah, and that was for the sun tan.
00:30:54That wouldn't, don't be a, don't be an archer.
00:30:57Now, come on, come on.
00:30:58Pull yourself together, come on.
00:31:00Tell me what else they did.
00:31:01Oh, there's nothing very much.
00:31:05Nothing at all, really.
00:31:07Oh.
00:31:09I wish to heavens I'd never been near them.
00:31:12What time is it?
00:31:13Let's be going.
00:31:15Yeah, you know, if they think I've been talking to you,
00:31:17I mightn't get any money out of them at all.
00:31:21Oh, come on, wait a minute.
00:31:22Listen to me, listen.
00:31:24If my skull wasn't fractured,
00:31:25why can't I remember who I really am?
00:31:27Oh, the professor saw to that.
00:31:30How?
00:31:32Hypnosis.
00:31:34He probably started on you
00:31:35after the first minutes you came around.
00:31:37It's to make a smooth transition
00:31:39between unconsciousness and the hypnotic state.
00:31:43And then he gave you the post-hypnotic suggestions
00:31:45that you were to forget.
00:31:47Much more than most people imagine.
00:31:51And then by linking the artificially stimulated head pains
00:31:56with any attempt on your part to remember.
00:31:58Yes.
00:32:00That's just what he said.
00:32:02Remembering brings on the pain.
00:32:05Exactly, exactly.
00:32:09And each successive hypnosis is more easily induced
00:32:13without having to use drugs at all.
00:32:14Simply by focusing the eye on that point of light
00:32:18and then suggesting that you're tired
00:32:22as you want to go to bed.
00:32:24Sorry, look, I apologize, I'll be all right.
00:32:27Once I get out into the open air, I'll be all right.
00:32:29Oh, come on, you're drunk and you've got a long walk.
00:32:31Not again, Jody.
00:32:32He's often like this, sir.
00:32:34I take it you're the new doctor he was talking about.
00:32:35Yes, that's right.
00:32:36You'll soon get used to him.
00:32:38He's very worrying, you know.
00:32:38You ought to be back at the hospital by now.
00:32:40I usually get him home, but I can't get away right now.
00:32:42Do you drive, sir?
00:32:43Yes, I do, yes.
00:32:44Well, if you'd like to borrow my car for an hour or two,
00:32:46it's all right by me.
00:32:47Oh, thanks, that's fine.
00:32:47It's a bit of an old jalopy,
00:32:48but it'll get you there and back.
00:32:51Well, come on, wake up, wake up.
00:32:53This is where you get out.
00:32:54You better hurry up, too,
00:32:55if you don't want them to see you with me.
00:32:57Oh, that'll never do.
00:33:00So the cops will see me, but you know what?
00:33:03They kill me.
00:33:03Geez.
00:33:05They'd kill me.
00:33:07Well, it's time to go.
00:33:09Well, sort yourself out, sir.
00:33:16You're going to leave me here?
00:33:18Well, see you later.
00:33:22No hard feelings.
00:33:24No hard feelings. I'm not sure I believe a word of it, but I'm very grateful to you for telling me.
00:33:28Hey, no hard feelings. Well, would you mind giving this to the rest of us?
00:33:36No hard feelings.
00:34:33Excuse me, are you going to Nedworth?
00:34:35Yes, I am.
00:34:36I wonder, could you give me a lift?
00:34:37Yes, of course. Jump in.
00:34:39I should have a horse, but we parted company about three miles back.
00:34:43Where is he? Can I help you catch him?
00:34:45I doubt it. He's a horse with fixed British habits, and by now he's beating his way home for tea.
00:34:50Do you live far away?
00:34:51Oh, just down the road a piece.
00:35:07You look awfully fierce. Did you miss a date or something?
00:35:10Do I? I'm sorry, no. I was just thinking.
00:35:12Did she stand you up?
00:35:14No, nothing like that. I've got a problem to sort out.
00:35:18You on holiday in England?
00:35:20No, we live in London. My father's with the American Embassy.
00:35:23Oh.
00:35:24If there's my turn, you can let me out there. I can walk the rest of the way out.
00:35:27No, it's all right. I'll run you there.
00:35:29Oh, it's an awful road, really. It's just a track.
00:35:31Oh, that's all right.
00:35:34Well, I warned you.
00:35:36Don't worry. It's not my car.
00:35:50Well, that was very sweet of you.
00:35:52Won't you come along?
00:35:54No, I'm afraid I can't.
00:35:56Why not?
00:35:57I'm afraid I can't.
00:35:59Why not?
00:36:00Well, that was very sweet of you.
00:36:02Won't you join Algernon for tea?
00:36:04Who's Algernon?
00:36:06There it is. The beast.
00:36:08Come on.
00:36:09Well, I really oughtn't to stop, you know.
00:36:11Oh, but you deserve it.
00:36:20You!
00:36:30My chateau.
00:36:32One reception, one bedroom, one kitchen.
00:36:35No bath.
00:36:37No telephone.
00:36:38But it's home.
00:36:39You live here alone?
00:36:41Oh, yes, I certainly do, and I'm not in London.
00:36:43You see, I write murder mysteries.
00:36:45Sort of, like the paperback set.
00:36:47Then I play hostess for my father.
00:36:49When I want to work, I come down here and be alone.
00:36:52I find, uh, being dependent on my father, uh,
00:36:57I find, uh, being diplomatic at diplomatic parties a little fatiguing.
00:37:02Excuse me, I'll put the kettle on.
00:37:04Polly isn't here today.
00:37:06Well, don't you ever get scared?
00:37:08I mean, I might be just anybody.
00:37:10No, I wouldn't have invited you if I'd had any doubts.
00:37:13Oh, thanks for the compliment.
00:37:15That's all right.
00:37:16Keep on talking. I won't be but a minute.
00:37:19I did have a little trouble with a hobo once,
00:37:22but I kicked him in the shins and told him I was a judo expert.
00:37:25Oh, and are you?
00:37:26Well, of course.
00:37:28I have thousands of medals, affidavits, anything you want.
00:37:33I told you to keep talking and you haven't gotten a word in yet.
00:37:37I should have a medal for that spill today.
00:37:40One of these weeks I'm going to have to have a little talk with Algernon.
00:37:43Say, we haven't introduced ourselves.
00:37:45I'm Rona Ellison. What's your name?
00:37:50I... I...
00:37:52I... I...
00:37:55I said, what's your name?
00:37:59What's the matter? You've got a name, haven't you?
00:38:02I don't know my name.
00:38:04You don't know your name? I don't get it. You must.
00:38:07No, you see, I'm suffering from amnesia.
00:38:10Loss of memory.
00:38:11Do you mean to say that all the time we were driving here
00:38:13you were just trying to think who you were?
00:38:15Well, surely you've got something in your pockets.
00:38:17No, you see, it isn't as simple as that.
00:38:20I'm staying at a nursing home near Medway.
00:38:24Oh.
00:38:26Downview Hall?
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:29Isn't that for mental patients?
00:38:31Oh, it's not an asylum or anything like that.
00:38:33Well, don't I look all right?
00:38:36Well, yes.
00:38:39I guess so.
00:38:41You see, they've been treating me for amnesia.
00:38:44I thought I knew my name until this afternoon and...
00:38:47Now I don't think it is. I mean...
00:38:50Oh, please don't ask me about it. I couldn't begin to tell you the whole story.
00:38:56You see, it's a plot, really.
00:38:58They want to make me believe I'm another man.
00:39:01They?
00:39:02Yeah, yeah, the people who run the nursing home.
00:39:05Oh, I see.
00:39:08Why?
00:39:11I don't know.
00:39:13I just don't know.
00:39:15How did you find out about this plot?
00:39:19Somebody told me.
00:39:22One of the other...
00:39:23Patients?
00:39:25You know, I can't make out whether he's a patient or one of the doctors on the staff.
00:39:31I'm sorry.
00:39:32I'll go. It's unfair of me to stay here.
00:39:35You know what I think you ought to do.
00:39:38No, but I can guess.
00:39:40Well, go right back to Downview Hall.
00:39:42Don't tell them that you suspect anything.
00:39:44Get absolute proof and then go to the police.
00:39:53Thanks for the advice.
00:39:55I'll get back to my padded cell.
00:40:03What did you say to him?
00:40:05Come on, what did you say to him?
00:40:06No, you never said anything. I'm honest.
00:40:08You were with someone in the two horseshoes this afternoon.
00:40:11It was a stranger. He was a lover of my wife.
00:40:18You're going to tell me what you said to Mason if I have to hang it up.
00:40:37Where on earth have you been?
00:40:38We've been worried about you.
00:40:40I'm sorry I'm late.
00:40:41Yes, I went for a walk on the Downs this afternoon and it was so hot I dropped off to sleep.
00:40:46The professor's here.
00:40:47I hope you won't be too tired to have supper with us tonight.
00:40:50No, I'll be delighted.
00:41:01He's just come in.
00:41:02Says he's been on the Downs.
00:41:04Did he mention he'd been with Kelly?
00:41:06No, but I'm sure he has.
00:41:08I hardly see him. Do you think he knows anything?
00:41:11I'm not sure.
00:41:13You'll be able to judge for yourself at supper.
00:41:15He'd hardly have come back of his own accord if Kelly had let much slip.
00:41:33Kelly.
00:41:35I... I...
00:41:37I didn't tell him I'd seen you.
00:41:40Honest.
00:41:41I didn't tell him a thing.
00:41:43Sure.
00:41:45Hey, you...
00:41:47You wouldn't have let me down.
00:41:49Sure you wouldn't.
00:42:05I think of all English customs, that of drinking port is the most civilized.
00:42:09Taylor, 27.
00:42:11I think you'll like it, Mason.
00:42:15Well, here's to a pleasant voyage on the 31st.
00:42:18I'd like your advice on that, Professor.
00:42:21Before I go, I... I feel I ought to know a bit more about Mr. Bellingcuff
00:42:25and the work I was going to do for him.
00:42:27Oh, my dear fellow, I'm afraid that's rather outside my sphere.
00:42:30Bellingcuff's your employer.
00:42:32Bellingcuff's your employer.
00:42:34I'm only your doctor.
00:42:35My job's to get you fit and well.
00:42:37Yes, I know, but surely you can tell me something about him.
00:42:40Not really.
00:42:42I only met him the other day when I was making inquiries about your visa.
00:42:45But you know, visiting your mother again might easily be the means of restoring your memory.
00:42:51Has anything happened to raise doubts in your mind?
00:42:54No, not really.
00:42:56But I couldn't remember Mrs. Lemming or Bellingcuff.
00:42:59Moscow's a long way.
00:43:01How do I know I'll remember my mother?
00:43:05I expect you're feeling tired after your outing.
00:43:09You'll probably feel different after a good night's rest.
00:43:13Why not go and lie down?
00:43:16We can talk about it later.
00:43:19Oh, my dear fellow, what's the matter?
00:43:21Oh, it's nothing. It's my leg. I tripped on the downs.
00:43:24I'm sorry.
00:43:25I think if I went upstairs and rested it for a little, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:28You mean?
00:43:29Yes, thank you.
00:43:30We'll resume our discussion tomorrow.
00:43:42What do you think? Has Kelly been talking?
00:43:45Could be. I'm not sure.
00:43:47Kelly's becoming too much of a risk.
00:43:49We should have got rid of him before.
00:43:51I'm afraid so.
00:43:52What do we do about Mason now?
00:43:55Perhaps Mitzi can help.
00:44:01Who is it?
00:44:02It's Mitzi.
00:44:07Why did you lock your door? Against me?
00:44:10No. Why should I?
00:44:12I was just going to bed, and I suddenly realized I hadn't seen you all day.
00:44:17I'm sorry.
00:44:18It's all right.
00:44:19It's all right.
00:44:20It's all right.
00:44:21It's all right.
00:44:22It's all right.
00:44:23It's all right.
00:44:24It's all right.
00:44:25It's all right.
00:44:26It's all right.
00:44:27It's all right.
00:44:28It's all right.
00:44:29I've been looking for you all day.
00:44:31Everybody was very upset they couldn't find you this afternoon.
00:44:34Oh, won't Katt will think it's strange, you being in here?
00:44:36Who cares what he thinks?
00:44:38Come over here.
00:44:39I want to ask you something.
00:44:41What?
00:44:43Are you very worried about going to Russia and this Balinghav man?
00:44:46Yes, I am.
00:44:47Then don't go.
00:44:48Leave it.
00:44:49Leave everything.
00:44:51You've got some money.
00:44:52I have a little saved.
00:44:53Let's go away together.
00:44:55Together?
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:57Oh, please take me away.
00:45:00Something funny is going on here and I'm frightened.
00:45:03Oh, who are you frightened of?
00:45:05Everybody.
00:45:06Everything.
00:45:07They needn't know till we've gone.
00:45:09We could slip away tomorrow and go to London to some friends of mine for the time being.
00:45:14Then if you wanted to go to Moscow, I could go with you.
00:45:18And Polish, I could get a visa.
00:45:20Would you like that?
00:45:22Yes, but...
00:45:24Promise.
00:45:27I'll tell you tomorrow.
00:45:28No.
00:45:29Now.
00:45:36I'm so happy.
00:45:44You must go now.
00:45:46Katchel or Manning might come in.
00:45:49All right.
00:45:51But they can't do anything to us.
00:45:54Tomorrow.
00:46:20I know he was here for lunch, but not for that.
00:46:23Would you inquire and let me know?
00:46:25Certainly.
00:46:26If you want any further information, Spencer, we'll be glad to give it to you.
00:46:29I think that's all for the moment, Doctor.
00:46:31But I'll have to ask you to come down to identify the body in the morning.
00:46:37Good night, Inspector.
00:46:38Good night, Doctor.
00:46:39Good night.
00:46:48Mason, I thought you'd gone to bed.
00:46:50No.
00:46:52Whose body has got to be identified?
00:46:56You mustn't worry about things that don't concern you.
00:46:59This is a hospital, remember?
00:47:01Yeah, I know.
00:47:04What do the police want?
00:47:07I suppose you've got to find out sometime.
00:47:10Poor old Kelly has been killed.
00:47:14How did it happen?
00:47:16He's been missing since lunchtime.
00:47:18Apparently, he went out and got drunk.
00:47:20The police have just picked him up on the Medworth Road.
00:47:23He'd, uh...
00:47:24He'd been knocked down by a car.
00:47:27I'd, uh...
00:47:28I'd get back to bed if I were you.
00:47:30There's nothing any of us can do.
00:47:36Come on.
00:48:06Come on.
00:48:36Good night.
00:48:37Good night.
00:49:06Good night.
00:49:37I still don't think we should wait.
00:49:50I don't know what it is.
00:49:51I can't see anything.
00:49:53Your hairs, my dear Manning, you really must learn to control them, you know.
00:49:57I still don't think we should wait.
00:49:58What are you worried about?
00:49:59I tell you, everything is fine.
00:50:00You will come with me in the morning.
00:50:02I still don't think we should wait.
00:50:03What are you worried about?
00:50:04I tell you, everything is fine.
00:50:05You will come with me in the morning.
00:50:07Berlinger will decide.
00:50:08He'll be here tomorrow.
00:50:32What?
00:50:34What?
00:50:35What?
00:50:36What?
00:50:37What?
00:50:38Mice has escaped!
00:50:39Take the ambulance along the Medworth Road.
00:50:41Manning, get your car and cut him off on the Kenton Road in case he's gone through the woods at the back.
00:50:45Get Olaf Marx and step on to search the grounds.
00:50:47We must get him back.
00:51:03Who is it?
00:51:05It's only me, Miss Rona.
00:51:10George, what's the matter?
00:51:11Sorry to disturb you, Miss.
00:51:13I just come up because I reckon there's someone you ought to know.
00:51:15You'll be all alone here.
00:51:16What is it?
00:51:17Seems a bloke has run away from that hospital place at Downview.
00:51:20Thought I'd better warn you.
00:51:22Don't want you to go opening your door tonight and having a deaf chap walk in on you.
00:51:25Good heavens, no.
00:51:27Who told you about him?
00:51:28A chap in a big black car.
00:51:30Asked me if I'd seen him.
00:51:32I come out of the bushes on him unexpected.
00:51:34I seen a big fella, pull a gun, jumpy like.
00:51:37Here I said, have you a license for that, I says.
00:51:39He pretended he don't know what I'm talking about.
00:51:42Didn't look like no doctor to me.
00:51:44What did you tell them?
00:51:45I said there weren't no one up in these woods and I weren't going to have them frightening the pheasants in the middle of the night.
00:51:49If you want to come poke around here, I says, you bring a policeman with you or I'll give you both barrels.
00:51:54Good for you, George.
00:51:55Aye, I said no pegging.
00:51:58Hope it's no good to warn you if you ask me.
00:52:01Thanks for the warning, George.
00:52:03I'll be here in the morning, safe and sound.
00:52:05All right, miss.
00:52:06I'll look by and see on my way to work and make sure.
00:52:08Fine.
00:52:09Good night, miss.
00:52:11Good night, George.
00:52:28It's all right, it was only the gamekeeper.
00:52:30Oh.
00:52:33I'm so sorry.
00:52:35Such a nuisance to you.
00:52:57BIRDSONG
00:53:27BIRDSONG
00:53:31Do you want some more coffee?
00:53:32Oh, thank you.
00:53:34Back home we write good thrillers, like Mickey Spillane's.
00:53:37They're like nursery rhymes compared to this.
00:53:39It's fantastic.
00:53:40It's got to be some kind of spy racket and pretty big, too, to involve all this planning.
00:53:44Yeah, but why pick on me?
00:53:46You must be valuable to them.
00:53:48Don't somehow think so.
00:53:50Whatever you think, you've still got to go to the police.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53Don't you hear them?
00:53:55I see, sir.
00:53:56So you've lost your memory, have you?
00:53:58Been hypnotized into forgetting?
00:54:00Let me see now.
00:54:01Down view halls for mental patients, isn't it?
00:54:03Do you mind if I make a telephone call?
00:54:04Steady, boy.
00:54:05You've got to admit it sounds peculiar.
00:54:07Yes, I know.
00:54:10I suppose the only thing for me to do is to hide up for a few days
00:54:14and hope that whatever they've done to me wears off a bit and I get some clue as to who I am.
00:54:18There should be something we could do.
00:54:21What?
00:54:23I don't know.
00:54:26Find out who Ivan Mason is?
00:54:28It's the only thing we have to go on.
00:54:30So, we prove you're not him.
00:54:34How do we do that?
00:54:37What about your landlady?
00:54:39What about your passport?
00:54:40I can do something about that.
00:54:42Now, now, look, these people are dangerous.
00:54:44I'm pretty sure they've killed one man already.
00:54:46I don't want you mixed up in it.
00:54:48Oh, Phu, I know I can do something about it.
00:54:50We'll go up to London today together.
00:54:52Now, that's final.
00:54:55All right.
00:55:03Anything in yours?
00:55:04No, not a thing.
00:55:06Looks as though they haven't reported you because they don't want Ivan Mason picked up by the police.
00:55:10It's a relief in a way, not being a wanted man.
00:55:13Don't kid yourself, mister.
00:55:15You wouldn't be in that one unless you had a 37-inch bust.
00:55:18Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:55:21You're going to be able to find your way around all right.
00:55:24I'd like to go with you, but we've both got so much to do.
00:55:26Oh, I'll be all right.
00:55:27We'll meet for lunch.
00:55:28Where?
00:55:29What about the Morgador?
00:55:30Why?
00:55:31Where is it?
00:55:34I don't know.
00:55:37I don't even know if there is such a place.
00:55:40And yet, if there isn't, why on earth did I...
00:55:42Because you've been there before.
00:55:44I don't know.
00:55:46Maybe there's no such place.
00:55:47But there is, even I know about it.
00:55:50Of course there is.
00:55:54Let's go.
00:55:56Let's go.
00:56:21Hello, Mrs. Lemming.
00:56:22I happen to be in town, so I thought I'd look you up.
00:56:25Oh, don't you remember me?
00:56:26No, I don't know you.
00:56:27I've never seen you before.
00:56:28Ah, that's one of the things I wanted to find out.
00:56:30You can't force your way in like that, you know.
00:56:32I've a jolly good mind.
00:56:33Now, Mrs. Lemming, I'm Ivan Mason.
00:56:36You came to see me in hospital six weeks ago.
00:56:39I had a room here, remember?
00:56:41How's your gas cooker?
00:56:42I hope it hasn't exploded again.
00:56:44Oh, dear.
00:56:45Now, come along, Mrs. Lemming.
00:56:46Don't you think you'd better explain?
00:56:47Oh, I wish I hadn't said I'd do it.
00:56:49It was through meeting that man in the bricklayers.
00:56:51He asked me if I'd like to earn 50 pounds.
00:56:53Only if it's honest, I said.
00:56:55All you've got to do is to come and pretend to a sick man
00:56:57that he was your lodger.
00:56:59It'll make him happy, he said.
00:57:01Told me what to say and everything.
00:57:03Oh, dear.
00:57:04I didn't mean any harm.
00:57:05Mrs. Lemming, will you come with me
00:57:07and repeat that story to the police?
00:57:09The police?
00:57:10I certainly will not.
00:57:11It's nothing to do with me.
00:57:12You tell them what you like.
00:57:13It's no business of mine.
00:57:14I've never seen you before.
00:57:15Thank you, Mrs. Lemming.
00:57:16You've been a great help.
00:57:24Well, it all seems very involved.
00:57:26What exactly is it you want me to do, Miss Ellison?
00:57:28I understand to get a passport.
00:57:30You need two sponsors.
00:57:31That's correct.
00:57:32Well, I wonder if you can find out
00:57:34who sponsored this one, huh?
00:57:36I think so.
00:57:37But you must forgive me
00:57:38asking you a few questions first.
00:57:40What made you come to me
00:57:41when you could have got this information
00:57:42at the passport office?
00:57:43Oh.
00:57:44Well, I met you at an embassy party
00:57:47and you told me that you'd be very happy
00:57:49to help me any time you could.
00:57:52Yes, I...
00:57:53I remember.
00:57:56Um...
00:57:57How long have you known this Ivan Mason?
00:58:01Since yesterday.
00:58:04I see.
00:58:05And how did you come to meet him?
00:58:09Well, you're going to think
00:58:10I'm really mixed up, Superintendent,
00:58:11but I'd rather not say.
00:58:13Not mixed up, Miss Ellison.
00:58:14Just not very frank.
00:58:16I'm sorry.
00:58:17But you will help me, won't you?
00:58:19Certainly.
00:58:20I must warn you that if there's anything wrong
00:58:21with this passport,
00:58:22it's a serious matter
00:58:23and I shall have to see this friend of yours.
00:58:25Hmm.
00:58:26Where can I contact you?
00:58:27Well, you can send me a wire
00:58:28to the Sledgenstead post office
00:58:29near Medworth.
00:58:30Right.
00:58:31Well, goodbye, Miss Ellison,
00:58:32and I'll certainly do what I can.
00:58:33Goodbye, Superintendent.
00:58:43Get me the passport office.
00:58:47Porter.
00:58:48Have you seen this gentleman?
00:58:50Why, yes, sir.
00:58:51He was with Miss Ellison
00:58:52that stops up at the cottage at Shooter's Wood.
00:58:54They caught the 9.15 train to London
00:58:56on the day they returned.
00:58:57Thank you very much.
00:58:58Good morning.
00:58:59Good morning, sir.
00:59:02875950.
00:59:03Yes, that's the number.
00:59:05What?
00:59:07Issued to Colonel W. Edwards.
00:59:12Reported last 11th January, 1955.
00:59:16You sure of that?
00:59:18I see. Thanks.
00:59:20Yes, I'll have it sent around to you.
00:59:22Right.
00:59:23It's a forgery.
00:59:25Owner had his briefcase stolen from his car.
00:59:28Get me the Bucks County Police in Medworth.
00:59:31I think I recognize this face, sir.
00:59:33Remember that Paxton case?
00:59:36Paxton?
00:59:42Well, I didn't get very far.
00:59:44First of all, Mrs. Lemming's a phony and won't help.
00:59:46Secondly, according to Somerset House,
00:59:48there's been no Ivan Mason born in Bexhill this century.
00:59:51Total blank.
00:59:52What did you get?
00:59:54Well, I telephoned the embassy
00:59:55and asked to leave a message for Mr. Dmitri Belenkev.
00:59:59I had to spell the name.
01:00:01He said it was a mistake.
01:00:02They had no one by that name there.
01:00:04Somebody else vanished into thin air.
01:00:06And yet I've met Belenkev.
01:00:08And I've got Ivan Mason's passport.
01:00:10On the contrary.
01:00:11Scotland Yard has it.
01:00:12Well, what did you tell them about me?
01:00:13Oh, don't worry.
01:00:14I called on a nice superintendent I met at a party.
01:00:17He looks after foreigners like me in the...
01:00:19well, the nicest possible way.
01:00:21Anyhow, I told him I'd met you and you lost your memory.
01:00:24And you didn't believe the name on your passport was the correct one.
01:00:27Well, what did he say?
01:00:28Oh, he was very polite.
01:00:30I guess he felt he had to humor me for the sake of relations.
01:00:33Anglo-American, that is.
01:00:35Anyhow, he promised to find out who sponsored the application.
01:00:38And I... well, I had to leave it at that.
01:00:40Thanks.
01:00:41You've been wonderful, Rona.
01:00:42Oh.
01:00:43By the way, is it all right if I call you that?
01:00:45Oh, nonsense.
01:00:46What am I going to call you?
01:00:47Just, hey, you?
01:00:49Huh?
01:00:50Well, I don't know.
01:00:51I seem to be non-existent.
01:00:52Let's see.
01:00:54I think I'll call you, uh, Joe.
01:00:57Just plain Joe.
01:00:58Joe.
01:00:59Well, I like it better than Ivan, anyway.
01:01:07Do you know that man?
01:01:08He seemed to recognize you.
01:01:09No.
01:01:11He looked as if he'd seen a ghost.
01:01:13Waiter!
01:01:17Waiter, who was that gentleman?
01:01:18The one who just went out, do you know?
01:01:19Well, that was Mr. Stanek, sir.
01:01:20He used to come here quite regularly.
01:01:21Stanek, thank you.
01:01:23Stanek.
01:01:25Name sounds familiar.
01:01:29Wait, I shall be a moment.
01:01:47Hmm.
01:01:52Uh, it's no good.
01:01:53I missed him.
01:01:56Stanek.
01:01:58That name, Stanek, I'm sure I know him.
01:02:01Oh, why can't I remember?
01:02:03Joe, dear.
01:02:05Don't you see we've been concentrating too much on Ivan Mason
01:02:07when we've got to find out who you are?
01:02:11Now, you seem to know Stanek.
01:02:13Think hard.
01:02:15Who is he?
01:02:17When did you meet him, and how do you know him?
01:02:23There's a room
01:02:26with a green light.
01:02:30Figures.
01:02:32Calculate.
01:02:33Oh, my head.
01:02:34Don't try to remember anymore.
01:02:35Wait till we get back to the gardens.
01:02:37No, I can't stay there again.
01:02:38It isn't fair on you.
01:02:39Don't be ridiculous.
01:02:41I'm in this now, and I'm going to see it through.
01:02:44Besides, it's the only place where Superintendent Davidson
01:02:46knows where to contact us about the passport.
01:02:49See?
01:02:51Come on, let's head lunch.
01:02:52All right.
01:02:54Now, Mr. Stanek.
01:02:56Is that the man you saw in the Mogador restaurant today?
01:02:58Yes, most definitely.
01:03:00But you reported that you thought you saw your late colleague,
01:03:02James Paxton.
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:04The resemblance is extraordinary.
01:03:06With the moustache, of course.
01:03:07All right.
01:03:08Let's look at this.
01:03:11James Paxton.
01:03:12James Paxton.
01:03:14Now, what do you say?
01:03:16It's the same man.
01:03:17Thank you for your help.
01:03:21Get me the commissioner.
01:03:36Well, it's good to be home.
01:03:43You know, the catcher was most anxious to see you.
01:03:46Perhaps Miss Ellison would be kind enough to join us.
01:03:49Don't you touch her!
01:03:51Swine, man!
01:04:07Now the cards are on the table, my dear fellow.
01:04:09A word of warning.
01:04:10It's a pity to make enemies of people you're going to work with.
01:04:13Why should he work for you?
01:04:15Because, my dear Miss Ellison, science is only practical
01:04:17when it's applied to a useful end.
01:04:20The same is true of biological urges.
01:04:22Oh, so I'm a scientist, am I?
01:04:24Of relatively minor importance in this country, I assure you.
01:04:27But your knowledge could be of great importance elsewhere.
01:04:30My knowledge?
01:04:31I don't even know who I am.
01:04:32Precisely.
01:04:34I give you my word, Miss Ellison, that he has no dependence.
01:04:36I give you my word, Miss Ellison, that he has no dependence.
01:04:40That's one of the reasons why he was chosen.
01:04:42I suppose it never occurred to you that I might be given some choice?
01:04:45For those who are chosen, there is no choice.
01:04:48You see, there really is no choice.
01:04:52Only I can give you your knowledge back.
01:04:55You can't make me do anything against my will, and you know it.
01:04:58I'd rather persuade you to cooperate willingly.
01:05:01I can see you're imagining some kind of painful physical persuasion.
01:05:04But in your case, I do not agree.
01:05:06What is the use of breaking a man's body if it does not give you his spirit?
01:05:10Yeah, you love hearing yourself talk, don't you?
01:05:13I think I can hold your attention quite effectively with what I'm going to say.
01:05:17Let us study the board.
01:05:19A white queen and a white pawn.
01:05:22And the red pieces, a knight, a bishop, a castle and a pawn.
01:05:26We can dispense with the kings from this problem because the solution is quite simple.
01:05:29Whatever move white makes, red is bound to win.
01:05:33We can remove that, too. You're unlikely to fall for that gambit now.
01:05:37That was Mitzi.
01:05:39You, of course, are the white pawn.
01:05:42Now, this is me.
01:05:44I represent the mental attack.
01:05:46But I'm afraid it'll take more time than I can spare.
01:05:49And this is the castle, symbol of force.
01:05:52We can remove the...
01:05:54No, I think we'll leave that on the table for the moment.
01:05:56And that brings us to the white queen.
01:05:59In fact...
01:06:01Miss Ellison.
01:06:04What about her?
01:06:06A threat to the queen is a serious thing in chess.
01:06:09Particularly if she can't move out of danger.
01:06:12And here in Downview Hall, she can't.
01:06:15If you cooperate with us, she goes free.
01:06:18If not...
01:06:21Yes?
01:06:22I'm sure you wish no harm to come to her.
01:06:25Joe, you mustn't worry about me.
01:06:27Look, aren't you overplaying your hand a little?
01:06:30You can kill a drunken doctor and get away with it, perhaps, if you never dare touch her.
01:06:33She lives alone, unprotected.
01:06:36Such girls are sometimes found dead.
01:06:39Strangled.
01:06:41Strange men wander about.
01:06:43Even escaped lunatics.
01:06:45Do I make myself clear?
01:06:47You...
01:06:53My dear Mason, don't let us resort to violence.
01:06:57Talk it over with Miss Ellison.
01:06:59Take her away.
01:07:22We've checked all the farms that take visitors.
01:07:25There's nowhere else he could be staying unless he's camping out somewhere.
01:07:29George White, sir.
01:07:31All right, bring him in.
01:07:33The gamekeeper, sir.
01:07:35Good evening, Mr. White. Sit down.
01:07:37Mr. White, we're trying to find a Miss Ellison.
01:07:40An American lady.
01:07:42I understand she lives in the woods near you.
01:07:44Can you help us at all?
01:07:46Miss Ellison?
01:07:48Ain't she over at the cottage?
01:07:50No, we've just been there.
01:07:52There's no telling where they are.
01:07:54Mr. White, have you seen any strangers or suspicious characters in the woods?
01:07:58I know you're asking, I have too.
01:08:00Can you describe them?
01:08:02They were a gang of chaps looking for an escaped loony from Downview Hall.
01:08:05Close on midnight last night it were.
01:08:07Was anything reported?
01:08:09No, sir.
01:08:11Unless it was that chap Carrier there you saw in the mortuary.
01:08:13But we found him in the road a couple of hours earlier.
01:08:15What made you think they were suspicious?
01:08:17Nasty looking lot they were.
01:08:19I seen one of them had a gun.
01:08:20I ask him about it and he pretends he don't know what I'm talking about.
01:08:25Ever seen that man before?
01:08:30Aye, I...
01:08:32I might have.
01:08:34Where?
01:08:36None of my business where.
01:08:38Now listen, if you can help us it may be a way of helping Miss Ellison.
01:08:42He couldn't be that chap we were looking for, could he?
01:08:45Where did you see him?
01:08:47I seen him up with Miss Ellison at the cottage this morning.
01:08:50Is that all you know?
01:08:52Aye, ain't seen either of them since.
01:08:54All right, Mr White, thank you.
01:08:56She's come to know our messy.
01:08:58Not as far as we know.
01:09:01Thank you, sir.
01:09:05I think we'll pay a courtesy visit to Downview Hall.
01:09:10It seems that our friend spent his day in London to some purpose.
01:09:12You brainless idiot.
01:09:14Six of you and you let him slip through your fingers
01:09:16and give interviews to the police.
01:09:18He'd not have been the girl.
01:09:20A pity, but my treatment was successful.
01:09:22He still has no idea of his real identity.
01:09:24Success is 100%.
01:09:26Anything less is failure.
01:09:28We do not assess degree of failure.
01:09:32It's a police car.
01:09:35Manning, get into your white coat and take your time letting them in.
01:09:39Cattrall, you deal with them.
01:09:40You deal with them.
01:09:59Oh, good evening, Inspector.
01:10:01Why don't you come in?
01:10:03Good evening, Doctor.
01:10:05Sorry to worry you again, but this is Superintendent Davidson
01:10:07of Scotland Yard who wishes to make a few inquiries.
01:10:09Good evening.
01:10:10Oh, Professor Cattrall's here.
01:10:11I expect he's the one you'd like to see.
01:10:12Yes, we would.
01:10:16Oh, if you wait here, I'll see if the Professor's free.
01:10:21Come in.
01:10:24Professor Cattrall, Superintendent Davidson from Scotland Yard
01:10:27and Inspector Heyman from Medworth
01:10:29would like a word with you.
01:10:31Show them in, by all means.
01:10:33Yes, Professor.
01:10:35Would you come this way, please?
01:10:39Good evening, gentlemen.
01:10:41To what am I indebted for this visit?
01:10:43We're making inquiries about a man called Ivan Mason
01:10:46whom I have reason to believe may have been a patient of yours.
01:10:49Mason?
01:10:51Mason.
01:10:53I can't recall that name.
01:10:55How long ago would this be?
01:10:56Very recently.
01:10:57Oh, I'm afraid you must be mistaken.
01:10:59I've had no one of that name here.
01:11:01I understand that you were looking for an escaped patient
01:11:03in the area of Shooter's Wood at midnight last night.
01:11:05Is that so?
01:11:06Oh, yes.
01:11:07Oh, Kelly, a very, very sad case.
01:11:09Inspector Heyman's no doubt informed you.
01:11:11One of our failures, I'm afraid.
01:11:13Acute alcoholism, but then
01:11:15one can do nothing if they get access to supplies.
01:11:17But he was found at 9.55 p.m.
01:11:20Well, quite.
01:11:22Quite, but then our search parties were out half the night
01:11:24before we could contact them.
01:11:26I see. These search parties of yours,
01:11:28do they normally carry firearms?
01:11:30Firearms? Good heavens, no.
01:11:32Ever seen this man before?
01:11:37No.
01:11:39No, his face is quite unknown to me.
01:11:41With your permission, I'd like to look around.
01:11:43I'm afraid I can't allow that, Superintendent.
01:11:45These are not normal people.
01:11:47Shock of seeing strangers.
01:11:48Then you refuse permission.
01:11:49I'm sorry, I regret that I must.
01:11:51My first duty is to my patients.
01:11:53They've just been settled down for the night.
01:11:55In that case, we'll call back in the morning.
01:11:57Good night, Professor Tuttle.
01:11:59Good night, Superintendent.
01:12:01Good night, Inspector.
01:12:08Driver.
01:12:10Pull up in the cover of those bushes.
01:12:19I think they've got Pax and Ann, the girl, inside
01:12:21and are not taking any chances.
01:12:23I'm afraid so.
01:12:25I'm afraid so.
01:12:27I'm afraid so.
01:12:29I'm afraid so.
01:12:31I'm afraid so.
01:12:33I'm afraid so.
01:12:35I'm afraid so.
01:12:37If they have any chances,
01:12:38they'll try getting them clear.
01:12:39Posse at the microphone.
01:12:40And, Driver, go around the back
01:12:41and see if there's another way out.
01:12:43Get all the cars you can
01:12:44and tell someone to find a magistrate
01:12:45for a search warrant.
01:12:46We'll wait here.
01:12:47Very good, sir.
01:12:49HP 2 calling Inspector Hamon.
01:12:51All cars repeat.
01:12:53All cars standby.
01:12:55We've got to get out of here, fast.
01:12:57Now, Manning, you take Marks
01:12:58with you, in the ambulance.
01:12:59Urban, you will drive.
01:13:01Emitzi, you look after the girl.
01:13:02You know what to do.
01:13:04I'm not going to take that Alleysen girl with me.
01:13:05We meet you at the docs.
01:13:06I'll take her with me, I'll tell you. I'm getting out of here.
01:13:09Look after him, Marx.
01:13:13Pull yourself together.
01:13:15Get started.
01:13:17Stefan, Olaf, wait for me outside.
01:13:20Katril, I'm sorry that your plan has misfired.
01:13:23We had such confidence in your methods.
01:13:25But he's still in the house. We can continue the treatment.
01:13:28He has no time. Since the newspapers came out, I had to make another plan.
01:13:33But he will be out of the country with us within the next half hour.
01:13:41But Joe, after all this, you simply can't just give up and go with them.
01:13:45There's nothing else to do.
01:13:48I'm not going to risk them harming you.
01:13:50You mustn't. You're the important one.
01:13:52Promise me you won't give in to them.
01:13:54But don't you see, they can't hold you hostage for me indefinitely.
01:13:58I might be able to give them the slip later on.
01:14:01What makes you think they'll keep their word about me?
01:14:05No, they couldn't do that.
01:14:08I'm every bit as dangerous to them as Kelly.
01:14:11Joe, all I ask is that you let me stay and help.
01:14:27All right, take her.
01:14:28No, no, you can't do this.
01:14:30That's enough. Come on, quickly now, quickly.
01:15:00Come on.
01:15:19Analyst number CXY245 has just left by the back entrance with several passengers in a stretcher case, sir.
01:15:24Headed towards Medware.
01:15:25Get in, we'll pick him up.
01:15:26Right, sir.
01:15:31Stop and investigate ambulance CXY245.
01:15:35Believed to contain missing persons James Paxton, Rona Ellison.
01:15:38Cars HB4 and 6, proceed Downview Hall as ordered.
01:15:42And await instructions.
01:15:43HB2, over.
01:15:50Barashvili, Bagrotti, Nagrosh.
01:15:52Yes, sir.
01:15:53We've got a case.
01:15:54We've got a case.
01:15:55We've got a case.
01:15:57Barashvili, Bagrotti, Nagrosh.
01:16:02What's holding them up?
01:16:03Has anything gone wrong with your plans?
01:16:05My plans don't go wrong.
01:16:08Bring him down now.
01:16:10Don't bungle it.
01:16:11A small dose only.
01:16:12We don't want to have to carry him.
01:16:14I hope you think I'm capable of giving an injection.
01:16:26This is HB2.
01:16:36Ambulance in sight.
01:16:37Travelling on London Medworth Road.
01:16:39Am overtaking.
01:16:40HB2, over.
01:16:56HB2, over.
01:16:57HB2, over.
01:16:58HB2, over.

01:17:21HB2, over.
01:17:22HB2, over.
01:17:24What's the idea?
01:17:37This is an emergency.
01:17:41I'd like to take a look inside.
01:17:42Shit, but it's a matter of listen...
01:17:43Are you all right, Miss Ellison?
01:17:50Where's Mason?
01:17:51He's gone to the Downview Hall.
01:17:52Downview Hall.
01:17:53Get all cars back to Danby Hall immediately. You'd better come with us.
01:18:08Quickly, Catra, quickly!
01:18:23Stop! Stop!
01:18:37Get those people to stop that train taking off.
01:18:56Let's have a look.
01:19:26Are you all right, Inspector?
01:19:45Yes, I'm...
01:19:49Yes, I'm all right now, thank you.
01:19:54So you're the famous scientist.
01:19:57Yes, I'm afraid I am.
01:19:59Do you mind?
01:20:01No.
01:20:04You thumbed a ride for me once. Remember?
01:20:08Yes, I remember.
