Wait

That's the last one

Go up and join Emile.

He needs help

Go on, get a move on!

Schranker sent me

Good. Listen carefully

lt's a new type of time switch

Here's a general plan here.

lf the time switches aren't set

they automatically go off at the

nearest police station. Get it?

Have you got it?

What do you think l am,

some kind of a nut?

-He isn't in the boiler room.

-Fine

We moved all the coal

Are you nuts?

What if the door is wired up?

Want to get the police here?

Well, we have to get in if we're

going to search the whole place

But not by the door, you ass!

Use the office on the floor above

Go through the ceiling

Right, let's go

Hey! What's up?

Hey! Answer me. What's happening?

Paul - tell us

What's going on?

l heard some banging!

-What did you say?

-What's the hurry?

l must see Schranker!

He's in the attic! l heard him

knocking. He's in the attic!

Keep quiet

Get on with it, then

He must be there

There's the switch

Force the locks

Come on. Hurry up!

l've got him.

He's in the attic

l heard someone hammer

l told Schranker immediately

He's up there with 8 men.

They'll get him any moment

l just came down to tell you

lf l hadn't been alert, we'd

have looked for him for hours

Look out! The watchman!

Let's get out of here!

The cops will be here any

moment. The watchman rung in

Let's get out of here!

Stop! Quiet! We've got

compartments to search. Carry on.

Get on with it. Only hurry!

Out of the way.

You can't do it that way

He's not in here

Next door!

Come on. Quicker

Not here either

Come on, keep it up! Next door

Quick! We've only got

about 3 minutes left

Hurry up! Quickly!

This one hasn't got a padlock,

he must be here. Go on, open it!

lt's locked from the inside,

let me do it!

Hurry up, only one minute left!

Here he is, here he is,

the dirty bastard!

Get going, hurry up -

Everybody out!

Go on - move!

Hurry up, quickly!

Christ! Get out while

you can, you fool!

-Anybody left?

-A few up top, they're on the way

No reason for you to wait for them.

With or without that guy

lt doesn't matter, get away.

What are they up to? Christ!

Bloody hell! At last! Thank God!

Hey! He's not down here.

Who's pulled up the ladder?

Who's pulled up the ladder?

Bunch of morons

Hello

Hands up

How can l put my hands up when

l'm trying to hang onto the ladder?

Get out of there

For once, l'm innocent

As a newborn babe

This will surprise you, Franz,

but l believe you

Well, then everything

is in order. l can leave then

One minute

Cigarette?

Oh, boy

l'll take your word for it

On condition you tell me

who was the man you were

looking for and found there?

l don't understand, lnspector.

A man, you said?

l know nothing about that.

There must be some mistake

l know nothing, nothing at all

Of course. Only l don't understand

why you are covering up

for the gang who left you

in the lurch. Funny friends!

Leaving you right in

it and running off. Bah!

That won't wash with me,

lnspector

After all, l'm not risking

very much

Maybe a little bit of damage.

But nothing was stolen

Of course, something was stolen.

ln fact, a good deal

What? Stolen? How much?

lf you talk, l'll tell you

l've already told you,

l don't know anything

All right. Well, think about it.

lt's amazing what one remembers

when one is left alone

for an hour or two

Take him away!

Send the night watchman in here

Get the watchman Damowitz

Sit down

Now then, you said in your

statement - Listen carefully

You may have to repeat it

under oath

You clearly heard

one of the burglars say to another,

''we've found him

l've discovered the guy.

He's in the attic.'' ls that correct?

Yes, lnspector. Yes, l'll swear

to whatever you want

Right. You may go home now.

But please be ready to testify

Of course, lnspector.

Good day, lnspector

Tell me, is lnspector Lohmann

in the building?

He's talking to someone? No,

it doesn't matter. l'll come up

What? Good. Hasn't come in yet.

You're watching Mrs. Winkler?

Come in

We've surrounded the whole block

lf he wanted to get home,

he'd run into us

Now you have to wait

l'll be in my office

if you have some news

Hell...

What do you want?

l wanted to ask you a favor

Disgusting

l wanted to ask you

Anyway, read a bit of that

-Reports?

-Yes

Burglary in an office block

Bennostrasse?

That's a very quiet neighborhood

Perhaps it's not as quiet

as all that

Hell, this is becoming serious

Did they intend to empty

the whole place, then?

What can they have been

looking for in the coal?

Look at that. lt's incredible

Good Lord!

This is madness!

Ah, now it makes sense.

They were after the safe

Good God! What's it all about?

l don't understand it at all

They haven't even attacked

that one. Are they all crazy?

Well, l'll be damned!

Well, what have you got to say?

Nothing stolen, but a man taken

Fantastic!

And Franz the burglar

was arrested. lsn't talking

Frightened, evidently.

Actually, l know him well

He's one who'd rather jump

from the fifth floor

than get mixed up in a murder

Could we set a trap for him?

Could you help me, Lohmann?

l see what you're getting at

Let's take a look at this Franz

You're wanted for questioning

What? Four people for me?

Come on

The murder squad?

lnspector Karl Lohmann

What do you want with me?

What's the murder squad want?

Yes, old boy, your case has been

passed over to me now

But why? What for?

You did your work

a little too well

One of the watchmen

Dead?

Planning and assisting with a

murder. lt's a bad show, Franz

l can't go on with it. l don't

want to have anything to do with it

l'll tell you everything,

everything l know

Very wise, but unfortunately

too late

lnspector, it can't be too late...

Please, lnspector

lt isn't possible! Listen,

l'm going to tell you everything

Even who we were looking for

in that damn building

Well, then

The child murderer

What? What? Who?

The child murderer, lnspector

Wait

This had to happen to me!

Of all people

Sit down

Now, we're going

to have a little talk

lf you want to, lnspector

And mind you, don't lie.

OK, let's start

What have you do to with the

murderer, and where'd you take him?

Well, lnspector, you know the old

distillery of Kuntz and Levy?

-The one that went bankrupt?

-Yes. Since then

the building's been abandoned

and nobody cares

What do you want with me?

Let me go! Let me go!

l've done nothing to you,

let me go, you swine!

Let me go!

What do you bastards want with me?

What do you want?

Help!

Help! Let me go. l want to

get out. Get me out of here

Let me out!

You will not get out of here

But gentlemen, l don't even

know what you want me for

l beg you, set me free.

There must be some mistake

No, no. No mistake.

lmpossible. There's no mistake

No mistake

Do you recognize it? lt's a

balloon like the one you gave

little Elsie Beckmann!

A balloon like that

Where did you bury little Martha?
