Goat Hill pounding pavement, I'm an Eskimo.
Not necessary to take
such icy view of situation.
- Matters progressing most interestingly.
- Interestingly? For who, Rhadini?
Fortunately, only wound in
shoulder, induced by this knife.
- Where did you get that?
- On step.
It is brother to one used to pin
Dr. Zodiac's note to door of theater.
It's a cinch whoever threw that knife
is the same one who knocked off the Turk.
We're through playing theater. If I can only
figure the angle that knife was thrown from...
it'll give me a clue to
where the killer was standing.
Position of killer not so
important to anxious parent...
as position of number two son who
took trip on mysterious flying table.
- He's in the cellar. All he has to do is come upstairs.
- Oh. Show way, please.
- Surely. Come on.
- [Kilvaine] I've got an idea.
I've been tryin' to figure out the angle
this knife was thrown from. I figured-
Captain Kilvaine, will you tell your stupid
cops that they must let me be with my husband?
Now just a minute, young lady. Nobody can
talk to him until after I've questioned him.
And I have a few questions for you too.
You're a fine detective
- letting one man be murdered right under your eyes...
they could try to kill my husband!
I've tried to be calm-
Come out of there! Come out of there!
[Charlie] Jimmy!
Did not know theater
provided elevator service.
That comes from inside the sphinx.
Mr. Chan, I want to go to my husband.
The detectives won't let me see him.
Thought Rhadini's dressing room was on stage.
It is, but there's an
entrance from down here too.
Son seems to have disappeared
as completely as flying table.
Maybe he went up into
the boss's dressin' room.
- Come with me, Mr. Chan. We'll see.
- Mmm. Yes.
I hope somebody sees somethin'
around here pretty soon.
I wish I was back with my trained seals.
You could try a cross-stitch- the
kind we use in appendix operations.
Please explain absence of pants and self.
Gee, Pop, l-I had an accident.
Get dressed quickly. Disappearance
take one year off father's life.
Uh, you are doctor? Uh, how
is Mr. Rhadini's shoulder?
Not too bad. It's only a flesh wound.
He's suffering from shock right now.
I fixed him up, and I think we'd better
let him go home as quickly as possible.
Most fortunate escape. Can offer no
solution as to who make attempt on life?
I haven't the slightest idea, Charlie.
I'd just reached the bottom of
the steps, and I felt a blow.
on fire. That's all I remember.
- It must've been thrown from the audience. And
if it was, l- - Recommend we remove selves...
from dressing room and allow
Excuse, please.
Look here, young woman. You knew all
about this before the lights came up-
before anyone else knew that Rhadini
had been clipped with a knife.
- How did you know it?
- I've told you before, I can sense things like that.
I had a mental vision of him lying
there with a knife stuck in his shoulder.
Mental telepathy confirmed
by scientific investigation.
strange power can be...
of utmost assistance to us
in apprehending murderer.
Better to probe through
penetrating mind of one girl...
than try to sift contents of whole theater.
All right, then go ahead. I'm in
this with ya. I might as well stick.
I'll tell the audience, Pop.
One moment.
Refrain from showing to
audience seat of pants, please.
Oh. I'll take care of that.
I'll wear this coat.
Ladies and gentlemen...
my father has requested me to, uh-
[Audience Laughing]
- [Laughing Continues] - My father
has requested that I call your atten-
My father has requested that I call your-
[Laughter, Applause]
[Laughter Continues]
[Laughter]
Oh, gee, Pop, this isn't my fault.
Recommend you imitate excellent
example of sphinx and keep silent.
Ask you will please excuse
amateur exhibition of magic...
by ambitious offspring...
and request you will again
lend most necessary cooperation.
and request you will again
lend most necessary cooperation.
With assistance of Miss Cairo...
will try to find solution
of most perplexing crime.
Can assure you will witness most
scientific and remarkable demonstration...
of mental telepathy.
Electrician, you will turn off all
lights except one on mirror, please.
You will read thoughts in my mind until
dominant thought of killer comes to you.
[Steady Ticking]
[Ticking Continues]
Concentrate.
Close eyes, please.
Am now your control.
You are my control.
You lips will speak my
thoughts as they come to you.
I will speak your thoughts.
[Ticking Continues]
I get the impression of a
strange, mysterious room.
There is a man. It is Dr. Zodiac.
He has learned secrets of people's lives...
and uses his information to blackmail them.
I see one of his victims.
He's in an airplane.
He commits suicide because Dr.
Zodiac threatens him with disgrace.
That man's wife is here in the theater.
Her heart is filled with bitterness.
who is helping Dr. Zodiac...
but she fears him.
Only his death can bring her freedom.
I see another man here
- a rival...
who has staked his reputation
on unmasking Dr. Zodiac tonight.
There is another...
who fears the loss ofhis
position and prestige...
because Dr. Zodiac has outwitted him.
And a young man who believes Dr.
Zodiac is interfering with his romance-
trying to separate him
from the girl he loves.
There's someone confusing
our contact, Mr. Chan.
Go on, please.
Yes, I have your control again.
There is a woman who is filled
with jealousy and hatred.
Dr. Zodiac is trying to influence her.
Mr. Chan, there's a mind here that is fighting me
- trying to keep your thoughts from me.
Continue, please.
He is frightened, desperate. It is-
It is Dr. Zodiac! He is not dead.
- He is here in this theater!
- [Murmuring]
Zodiac here? Then who was the Turk?
Will soon learn.
[Charlie] Concentrate, please.
The man who was murdered
was Dr. Zodiac's servant...
who was impersonating him here tonight
to throw the police off the trail.
What was motive for murder, please?
The servant was the only one
who knew his master's secret.
Zodiac killed him to silence him...
and make the world believe
that Dr. Zodiac was dead.
Who is Dr. Zodiac?
It is-
It is-
Something is keeping it from me
- a control stronger than yours.
Killer is trying to prevent you from
reading my thoughts. Make effort, please.
I'm trying. It's coming closer.
It's filled with evil,
with thoughts of murder.
It's Dr. Zodiac!
He's ready to strike again! [Screams]
Lights! Lights!
- [Jimmy] It's Rhadini!
- Fred! - My boss!
Otherwise known as Dr. Zodiac.
Very clever to have Turk impersonate
you at sance and thus avoid suspicion.
Nice work. But you'll never
convict me of killing the Turk.
Contradiction, please. Will demonstrate.
