This is gonna be a new record sure.
[Pistol Fires]

[Announcer] 100-meter relay title
won by the United States.
Time.39 and 8/10 seconds.
A new Olympic and world's record.
- Are all the men at their posts?
- Yes, Inspector.
- Every exit in this part of the stadium is covered.
- Good.
- There goes Dick. He'll take 'em in the pole vault.
- You've got that all set, huh?
Well, if he doesn't,
I'll break his neck.
[Announcer] Masters of the United States
has just cleared...
- 14 feet and two inches on his second try.
- He did 14 feet and two inches.
Oh, Dick can do better than that.
- [All Chattering]
- Way to go, old fella.
Message for gentleman in Box 22.
[Announcer] The bar for the pole vault has
just been raised to 14 feet, three inches.
[Cartwright] It's rather
an extraordinary request, Mr. Chan.
I don't know how to answer you. I didn't even
know you had the device in your possession.
- Very well, you know it now.
- I don't feel I have anything to say about its disposal.
I signed my rights over to Mr. Hopkins
and retained only a small interest.
Hopkins is a fugitive from justice.
But if I have your authority
to use the device...
...we can deal
with these criminals.
- Are you willing to put it back in their hands, Mr. Chan?
Must speak
as very humble father.
- If there's no other way, of course you have my permission.
- Good.
Please accept gratitude
of most anxious parent.
Besides, Mr. Cartwright,
when the boy is returned safely...
...we will go after
the criminals and get it back.
One more request, please.
This time must insist
on acting alone.
Any effort to help might result
in serious consequence.
You have our word, Mr. Chan.
We will wait for a message from you.
Hmm.
Good-bye.
And as a further precaution
for your safety, Mr. Cartwright...
...you will remain with me.
He's here.
Checkmate.
How do you do, Mr. Chan?
I'm glad you followed instructions
this time and didn't depend on the police.
Wise philosopher once say...
"Only foolish man
will not acknowledge defeat."
- I'm sure he was Chinese to have been so clever.
- Thank you so much.
Am ready to complete transaction.
- May now see number one son?
- In just a moment.
There's one more, uh, formality.
- Ask Mr. Hopkins to come in.
- Yes, sir.
You may put the device
on the desk, Mr. Chan.
That's it- Chan's signal.
His transmitter's working.
What does your direction finder say?
North by northeast,
two points east.
Calling B.P. 41.
Calling B.P. 41. Calling B.P. 41.
Coming in.
Car 37 picked it up.
- "North by northeast."
- North by northeast.
- "Two points east."
- Two points east.
Contact all cars in Areas "D" and "F"
for check on direction.
Calling all cars, Areas "D" and "F."
Pardon our caution, Mr. Chan...
...but Mr. Hopkins
will have to identify the mechanism...
...just to be sure there hasn't
been another, uh, mistake.
Yes. This is the Cartwright invention.
Thank you, Mr. Hopkins. That's all.
And now my son, please?
- Bring the boy in.
- Yes, sir.
Car 46 reporting second
triangulation point.
- "West by southwest."
- West by southwest.
- "Six points south."
- Six points south.
- "South by southeast."
- South by southeast.
- "One point south."
- One point south.
Notify all cars to converge
on Area "D," Block 21.
That definitely sets your location.
Your plans worked perfectly.
Exactly. Soon we will be there,
and you will have your device back.
- Calling all cars.
- All right, Sergeant. Go ahead.
I'm sorry I got you into this, Pop.
Danger, like red light on end
of moving train, now safely past.
[Zaraka]
Except for one slight detail.
I must make very certain
that the pursuit ends here.
I'll remember you when my plane
is crossing the border out of Germany.
Good-bye, Mr. Chan.
Just a moment, Zaraka.
Were you planning to leave?
Get their guns.
Line up over there, all of you!
Just a minute.
Give me that bag.
Still playing tricks, eh, Mr. Chan?
- What is it?
- It's a phony.
- It's a transmitter!
- Chan's signal stopped coming through.
- They've discovered the trick.
- Call the other cars. See if they have contact.
Calling all cars.
Calling all cars.
Very clever, Mr. Chan- in touch
with the police ever since you've been here.
Come on.
Where is it? And talk fast.
- All cars have lost contact.
- Then instruct them to proceed in the same direction at full speed.
- We must get to Chan.
- Calling all cars.
For the last time, where is
the Cartwright invention?
Reposing in place of utmost safety.
Get away from that kid.
Back against the wall, you.
Do I get my answer?
[Engines Stopping]
[Brakes Squeaking]
- It's the police.
- Surround the house. Don't let any of them get away.
[Battering On Door]
Search the house!
- They went up there!
- Round them up!
- [Clicks Heels]
- Mr. Chan, you see? We have arrived in time.
- The police of Berlin are very efficient.
- [Gunshot]
Inspector! Inspector Strasser!
Keep him covered.
Most unfortunate occurrence.
He's still alive.
Remove him. Get the doctor.
If Mr. Hopkins regain consciousness,
report immediately.
Okay, Pop.
- What happened in here?
- I was going by the door when I heard a shot.
As I stepped in, Hopkins was lying on the
floor, and Hughes was standing over him.
You can't pin that shooting on me.
I just came in through that door, when l-
One moment, please.
- You did not come into room when shot fired?
- No, I stopped at the door.
Strange.
[Chan] Ink spilled here
when Mr. Hopkins fall...
...yet stain your shoe
while standing at door.
Conclusive proof you were
close to Mr. Hopkins when he fell.
Now very evident
attempted murder of Hopkins...
...was last act to save self.
You are murderer
of mechanic Miller in Honolulu...
...and thief of own invention.
That's ridiculous.
I've helped you in every way possible.
If I'd wanted to steal the invention,
I could have easily made a copy.
That would have been obvious way
and easy to trace.
But you saw opportunity
to gain large fortune...
