[Strasser]

There's nothing but a blot across the page.

Indicate when writing message,

Mr. Hopkins suddenly interrupted by action...

...which cause pen to slip from fingers.

Pop, Mr. Hopkins is still unconscious,

but he's gonna be all right.

The doctor found a bump on his head that

must have been made a couple of days ago.

Thank you so much for corroboration-

...prove you knock Mr. Hopkins

unconscious...

...then drop him from window into arms

of confederates, as seen by son Lee.

Well, it looks like

we cleaned this case up, Pop.

But how did you change the robot

into a transmitter?

Constructed same in most efficient

Berlin police laboratory...

You're a fine officer, Mr. Chan.

You went through with your duty

even though it meant risking your son's life.

...for a while I was afraid I wouldn't be there

to win that 100-meter swim tomorrow.

- Perhaps good idea not to accept gold medal until race is won.

- [Chuckles] Don't worry, Pop.

I learned to sprint when you used to chase

me through the water with a paddle.

Come on, Lee, boy!

Oh, yeah!

Come on! Come on!

- Come on!

Thank you. - Good work!

- Thanks.

Ah, thanks!
