00:10The
00:52Vienna, metropolis on the Danube, to all people, all things, to the musician, to the
00:59inspiration, to the traveler exploration, to the neighboring European recreation, to
01:07the native Viennese, relaxation, to the international feat, temptation.
01:55Oh, it's getting more difficult, monsieur.
01:58You can buy out for ten shillings.
02:00Oh, death before dishonor.
02:08Oh, you can't buy out of the bed for ten shillings.
02:27Do we have a match?
02:29You're kidding.
02:30But I do need a life.
02:37It's for keeps?
02:39A hundred shillings.
02:41Winner takes all.
02:42Is it hard?
02:44Like splitting the atom.
02:51Excellent, Chris.
02:52The steady hand of the surgeon.
02:54Oh, pool player.
02:56Hello, Inspector.
02:57Hello, Chris.
02:58Hello, Dudu.
02:59What's up, Monsieur Inspector?
03:00Miss Karen Nielsen.
03:04That's what it says in my passport.
03:07I'm Inspector Romer, Vienna, please.
03:10It's a car waiting for you outside, Miss Nielsen.
03:13Would you mind driving down to our headquarters?
03:17That personal?
03:18I'm afraid so.
03:21I'm afraid so.
03:25May I?
03:27Be my guest.
03:35Surgeon?
03:37Pool player.
03:37Okay.
03:42What's the trouble, Inspector?
03:44Diamonds.
03:46Stolen, and we believe set into a bracelet.
03:49Is she a guest here?
03:51No.
03:55When did you first see her?
03:57About a hundred seconds ago.
04:02The diamonds were stolen yesterday.
04:07This morning we picked up an informer.
04:11Professional.
04:13Not too reliable.
04:15He said that a girl had something to do with a robbery.
04:19Perhaps accomplice.
04:22Perhaps thief.
04:24Perhaps thief.
04:26After another thief.
04:29Did you say you just met her a hundred seconds ago?
04:32Mm-hmm.
04:33For the first time?
04:34Mm-hmm.
04:37The informer also said that Christopher Storm's front hotel was in some way concerned with the diamonds.
04:45How?
04:46He didn't know.
04:49He thought there was a chance that the bracelet was going to be passed on.
04:55Here.
04:59We take turns.
05:04Did the informer say to whom the bracelet was going to be passed?
05:10No.
05:12To you?
05:13Yes.
05:15Who would that be?
05:16A logical person.
05:20Who is a logical person?
05:22Someone who is always on hand here at the hotel.
05:26Someone who has constant contact with those who come and go.
05:31Someone who is sophisticated enough for the delicate work of handling stolen jewelry.
05:37Someone like Doro?
05:41Someone like that.
05:45Your nerves are good, Chris.
05:47Clean living, Inspector.
05:52I will stop in again.
05:54You're always welcome.
05:56I've always felt like that.
06:18Don't call the inspector.
06:20Don't call anybody.
06:21Don't call anybody.
06:26What's the matter? Don't you like crowds?
06:28No.
06:29Diamonds.
06:31Your room.
06:41Oh, Mr. Storm, Mr. Storm.
06:43Did Inspector Ronner speak to you?
06:45Yes, he did, Starkey.
06:47Then you already know about the stolen bracelet.
06:50Yes, I heard something about it.
06:52He says it's worth millions.
06:55You don't say.
06:56Inspector Ronner says that someone here in the hotel had stolen it.
07:01I told him things like that don't happen here.
07:04We have a good reputation.
07:06Did he apologize?
07:07No, sir.
07:09He said, a good reputation just means that a person is lucky enough not to get caught doing something he
07:20shouldn't.
07:20It seems to me the inspector's a very wise man.
07:24The way you talk, you think Mr. Storm has the bracelet in his puppet right now?
07:31It's possible, of course.
07:32Possible.
07:33Yes, let's say it's possible as my having a gun in mine.
07:36Oh, sure.
07:37Or my having a million bucks in mine when I only get a hole.
07:46Oh, Starkey.
07:49Yes, sir.
07:50Mr. Storm doesn't want to be disturbed for the next quarter of an hour.
07:53He and I have some important business to discuss.
07:55All right.
07:56Only call me and I will be right down here.
08:11Do we sit down?
08:13We won't be that long.
08:15Give me the bracelet.
08:18I could have done that downstairs.
08:21You could have gotten tricky downstairs.
08:24Cautious fellow.
08:25I have to be.
08:26You can't ensure a stolen property.
08:29A bracelet.
08:31What if I say no?
08:33What if I shoot you?
08:35That's a good question.
08:38Did you put this in my pocket?
08:40I don't remember.
08:42Did you see the girl do it?
08:43I don't remember that either.
08:46Why so many questions?
08:51Maybe I want a slice of the pie.
08:53It would give you indigestion.
08:57The bracelet.
09:03Answer it.
09:05Like you had a slice of the pie.
09:08Come in.
09:12Say, Chris, I...
09:14Oh, I'm sorry.
09:15I didn't know you had company.
09:16That's quite all right.
09:17Inspector Roma, this is Mr...
09:20Brown.
09:21How do you do, Mr. Brown?
09:22How do you do?
09:24May I see you along for a minute, Chris?
09:25I was just leaving, Inspector.
09:27Oh, must you really run off?
09:29I'm afraid so.
09:30Goodbye, Inspector.
09:31Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
09:32Mr. Storm.
09:32Mr. Storm, can you see me in the lobby for a moment?
09:34I'd rather.
09:36We just want to go over last-minute details.
09:38I will come along with you.
09:40I can talk to Mr. Storm in the lobby when you are through with him.
09:43Quite as easily as Sir Pierre.
09:45Gentlemen.
10:03The girl didn't have the bracelet.
10:05I thought we might have to search the hotel.
10:08I hope you won't object.
10:11After all, the sooner the bracelet's recovered, the better off everybody will be.
10:15Except the thief.
10:25Well, I'll keep in touch, Mr. Storm.
10:28Oh, one minute.
10:29What about our last-minute details?
10:31They can wait.
10:32I don't think so.
10:34Last-minute details can be very important.
10:36For example, Inspector, suppose Mr...
10:39Brown.
10:40Oh, yes, of course.
10:42Suppose Mr. Brown had a gun concealed under his raincoat.
10:45That could be an important detail, couldn't it?
10:48And suppose Mr. Brown had the bracelet you were looking for in his pocket.
10:52That's an important detail, isn't it?
11:04I beg your pardon, Mr. Brown.
11:06May I go now?
11:07Of course.
11:11I tell you, he had the bracelet right in his sidebar.
11:23Some details are very important, Chris.
11:31Well, I made noises like the anchorman on a losing debating team.
11:34I figured that only two things kept me from immediate occupancy of a room and no bath in the local
11:39lockup.
11:40One, Inspector Romo was almost as shocked as I was to actually find the diamond bracelet in my pocket.
11:46Two, my record.
11:47Vienna police had never put me down for anything worse than double parking in front of the Rothskeller.
11:53But that was the way I figured.
11:55Eventually, it was Inspector Romo's turn.
11:58I really find myself in an awkward position, Chris.
12:02As a friend, I want to believe you.
12:04But as a police officer?
12:06I don't dare to.
12:07And what's the next move?
12:09Booked on suspicion of possession of stolen property?
12:12It would be the safe move.
12:18You're not a wise one, assuming I'm innocent.
12:22Go on.
12:24Well, it seems to me you want two things out of this scramble.
12:27First, the apprehension of the thief.
12:30Second, the return of the bracelet.
12:32Agreed.
12:33Well, if you arrest me, you only get one.
12:35The bracelet's still assuming I'm innocent.
12:38And if I don't arrest you?
12:40You get the bracelet and the thief.
12:41The thief.
12:43How?
12:46One of two ways.
12:48Namely?
12:49The man who calls himself Brown and the girl, Karen Nielsen.
12:55Let's take the man who calls himself Brown.
12:59He doesn't know you found the bracelet in my pocket.
13:02But he does know you put it there.
13:05So he will come back for another visit?
13:08Wouldn't you?
13:11Well, you wouldn't if you knew I was in prison and the police had the bracelets.
13:17Now, the girl, Karen.
13:21Where is she?
13:23Green.
13:25I couldn't hold her.
13:26Because you couldn't find anything on her.
13:29And you won't as long as I'm in prison and the bracelet's in your pocket.
13:34Do I make sense?
13:36I think so.
13:37Will you let me try?
13:40No.
13:41Why not?
13:42Because this bracelet is a fake.
13:46What?
13:48With the point of my pipe, Rima, I scratched this stone like it was glass.
13:55Which it is.
13:57Does Karen know this?
13:59Does Brown?
14:01Did Christopher Storm?
14:04Do you really think I'm guilty?
14:07No.
14:09Not as a friend.
14:12But as a police officer, I am afraid I have to search the hotel.
14:16Now?
14:17The sooner the better.
14:18Karen Nielsen or Brown might have left the real bracelet here someplace.
14:24Worried about the bad publicity?
14:27All along.
14:29A hotel's reputation is more important than its lobby.
14:33Look.
14:34You give me one hour in the stolen bracelet business, and if I don't make good, you search.
14:39What have you got to lose?
14:40A diamond bracelet.
14:42And a thief.
14:43What can I gain?
14:46A diamond bracelet and a thief.
14:48The odds are even.
14:51All right, Chris.
14:53I will bet on you.
14:55Oh, well.
14:57Thanks for an hour.
15:06After the inspector and his men left, I told myself that my next suit would have no pockets.
15:11Then I pocketed the bracelet and went back to the war of nerves.
15:18I need a match again.
15:20How can you smoke with handcuffs on?
15:24They just took them off.
15:26I don't want to.
15:27The wrong size?
15:28Wrong girl.
15:30Well, I'm happy.
15:35Try to control, Will, sir.
15:39Dodo, wait on a customer, huh?
15:42What customer?
15:44You.
15:45Oh, what do I want?
15:47Beer.
15:48Thanks.
15:49That leaves us nice and along.
15:51Yeah.
15:52You, me, and the bracelet.
15:54Where is it?
15:55Where it was left last.
15:57I'd like it.
15:59Who wouldn't?
16:01What's your offer?
16:05Three hundred dollars is ever sent I have.
16:12Sold.
16:15No guns.
16:17No snakes either.
16:20Happy?
16:21Ecstatic.
16:23It's been a long haul.
16:24With a dummy cargo.
16:26Take my word for it.
16:28It's glass.
16:28Yes.
16:31What a fool I be.
16:33Is that what you stole?
16:34No.
16:35What I tried to get from the man who stole it.
16:38Narkin.
16:39Who I know is Mr. Brown, no doubt.
16:43And you didn't put it in my pocket in the first place.
16:45Talk about a wild goose, Jay.
16:49Wait a minute.
16:54Your money.
16:56And his interests on a very short-term loan.
16:59Some advice.
17:00Leave it alone, Karen.
17:02As a thief, you'll never make the grave.
17:05What do you suggest?
17:07Calling a typewriter from nine to five?
17:10Beats a prison laundry from six to eight.
17:13You're not going to tell the inspector what I tried to do?
17:18No.
17:20At least not until he asks me.
17:22I'd only give you some time.
17:25It's fun to travel.
17:27Why are you doing this?
17:29Because the inspector can't.
17:31He wears a badge.
17:33You ought to wear a medal.
17:45Café?
17:46Dodo?
17:47One minute, please.
17:49It's for you, Mr. Storm.
17:52Thanks, Dodo.
17:55Hello.
17:56Mr. Brown speaking, Mr. Storm.
17:59Can we get together?
18:00Possible.
18:01With or without the police?
18:03You tried to turn me over last time.
18:05You tried to take the whole pie.
18:07I'll wait in my room.
18:08You'll wait forever.
18:10It has to be my place.
18:11What's the address?
18:1237-36 Tempelstrasse.
18:14Come right away.
18:16Alone.
18:17Except, of course, for the bracelet.
18:22Dodo.
18:23Yes, Mr. Storm?
18:25Call Inspector Romer.
18:26Tell him I'm going to meet a Mr. Brown at 37-36 Tempelstrasse.
18:29Tell him to cover me from a distance.
18:31You got that?
18:32Yes, Mr. Storm.
18:3437-36 Tempelstrasse.
18:36Mr. Brown, cover you from a distance.
18:38Right.
18:40Buendoro.
18:41I'll finish the game with you later.
18:43I hope.
19:00Get in.
19:07Drive.
19:09Where to?
19:0937-36 Tempelstrasse?
19:11Or was that just an excuse to get me out here?
19:14Where'd you call from?
19:15The lobby?
19:16All those questions.
19:18Stop.
19:19Yes, sir.
19:46And the next corner, turn right and pull over.
19:48What happens then?
19:50You give me the bracelet.
19:51Why are you saving glass?
19:54No diamonds.
19:56Then get another bracelet.
19:57One you dropped in my pocket's a phony.
19:59I gave it to Karen Nielsen as a memento.
20:01Your what?
20:02I gave it away.
20:04Stones are made of glass.
20:06Yes, every other one.
20:08In between, they're diamonds.
20:10They were set that way for camouflage.
20:13Does Karen know that?
20:14Of course she does.
20:15She's my partner.
20:16She dropped it into your pocket.
20:18We set them together.
20:20Clive to the airport.
20:21That's where that lady will head.
20:23There's a plane in 15 minutes.
20:24Go fast.
20:25Hit it.
20:47Call the police.
20:48Hold them for Inspector Roman.
20:49Tell them he stole the Danube.
20:50Tell them anything but hold them.
21:12I knew there were such things as other cars on the road, traffic lights, and one-way streets.
21:17But only from memory.
21:19Because I couldn't see a thing in front of me except the face of an inspector of the inner police
21:22named Roma mocking me, insulting me, ultimately arresting me on a charge of sheer stupidity.
21:29But just to keep myself all in one piece, I clung to the hope that I was going to catch
21:32Karen Nielsen.
22:50Inspector.
22:50Waste not one another.
23:00Inspector.
23:03How did you do it?
23:04It's nothing, Jason.
23:06Well, how did you catch her?
23:08She looked suspicious, running for a land in the last minute plane, so soon after being released from questioning.
23:15Well, how is it you were here in time to see her?
23:17Well, um, it was that call you had to do to make.
23:22The address you gave for your rendezvous with Mr. Brown.
23:253736 Tempestrasse?
23:27There's no such number.
23:30So?
23:31So I, um, well, we thought that you, uh, that maybe, uh...
23:38Maybe what?
23:40That maybe you wanted to pull us off the train so you could get away with the jewels.
23:46But you knew the jewels were...
23:48Half a guess.
23:49I didn't want to tell you because I, uh...
23:53Well, I, um...
23:55I didn't entirely trust you, Chris.
24:02Inspector.
