then? Neither nobody nor nothing!

Here, be off, you! I don't want

any nosy coppers around my house!

All right, Ben. Here! I pay my rates regular.

Here, here!

You can't go in there!

What are we gonna do? Don't be afraid,

darling. I can leave any moment.

Come along now. I doesn't need

you to search the whole house.

I wants to search

that room upstairs.

I want a warrant before

you can search my house!

I don't need no warrant

for that. Get out of my way.

I couldn't stop him.

It isn't my fault.

Neither nothing

nor nobody, eh?

What's

going on here?

You know that you're

intruding in a private house?

Yes, sir, but... Then leave quickly,

or you'll find yourself in trouble!

Come on,

you silly old fool!

I'd better go now, darling. You'll

have to be brave. I'm trying to.

Better turn around. This

may not be very pleasant.

You mucky old fool! You

doesn't know what you're doing!

Oh, I doesn't, eh?

Geoff, where shall I see you?

Where will you go?

I'll meet you at the manor

after I've seen Frank.

Take care of yourself, darling. I will.

It's bright and warm

outside, thank goodness.

I'll be all right.

Helen! Helen, darling!

His face is all wrapped up like,

and he won't give me his name.

Will I arrest him?

We found him. He's at the gamekeeper's

house... a chap named Jenkins.

Don't do anything foolish.

He must not get away.

Under no circumstances allow

him to take off his clothes.

Take off his clothes? He won't do

that, sir. There's a lady with him.

Do as I tell you!

I'll be over right away.

Don't let him take off his clothes?

Is he daft?

Take off his clothes.

Here! You can't go upstairs!

It's no good, Ben. I have me

duty to do. Get out of my house!

Oh, assaulting the law! What

do you know about assaulting...

You've no business... Here! Come here!

You have no business... Here! Come here!

The law!

And I have to uphold it!

That's what I call

bodily assault!

He took off his clothes!

No wonder she fainted.

So you just let the lady

walk out and ride away, eh?

I had nothing to hold

Miss Manson on, sir.

I had no instructions

about her.

And her looking

so ill, sir.

Tewksbury, you're a credit

to the force. You used brains.

Watch her but don't scare

her too much. That's our game.

We can't expect to catch the

quarry if we shut up the bait.

Aye, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Here we are, sir.

Here. You can check

with the prison records.

They match.

Yes.

Well, that clears up any doubt

as to his identity anyway.

Helen! Helen!

Thank goodness that

you're safe and sound.

I've lain awake all night worrying

about you. Oh, I'm sorry, Richard.

I should have thought.

You're so pale and exhausted.

You must consider

yourself, Helen.

Where have you been?

I'm quite all right. Helen, you don't

know what it means to me just to see you.

When you're away, I...

You're tired.

Go upstairs and rest.

I'll see you later

in the study.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Well?

I don't know.

I was sure I heard

a knock too.

Hello. Radcliffe Accident

Home. No, I'm sorry.

Mr. Champion was removed to the

county hospital this morning.

I must have been

mistaken.

Geoff.

Headline news, eh?

Of course.

- They don't know that I...

- Ah, but they do.

The police got out the file on my

brother and twigged the whole thing.

An inspector was here to tell

me all about it. Charming fellow.

Why didn't they arrest you? How could they?

First they have to prove there is an

invisible man, then that you're it,

and finally,

that I'm one of the... gang.

That sounds enough to

keep them busy for a while.

How are you getting on? Splendidly.

But I need a little bit

of your blood, old boy.

Gladly... if you can find

it. Here. Sit down here.

Thanks.

Now, we'll get

some alcohol.

See if we can find your vein without

putting a tourniquet on your arm.

This feels like it.

It's gonna hurt.

Frank.

What is it?

How long do you think

I have before I go mad?

Oh, two days, two weeks.

Who knows?

Do you think you'll find

the antidote before I...

Oh, I'll find it, all right.

Don't you worry.

Good.

Here it is, I hope.

Now we'll put

some color in this.

ByJove! That's

what I call neat!

Comes of practicing

on guinea pigs.

Dr. Griffin!

Come back later!

But it's important... about the men

working where Champion was injured.

Let him in.

One moment.

Oh, so he wouldn't see me.

I were thinking it would be nice

if we could have a little talk.

That's a matter of opinion. You've been

interfering again in the pit, I hears,

tellin' the men not to work

in Number 3 Tunnel.

Glorified as usual, eh?

I'm doin' my duty,

Dr. Griffin.

And if you do yours and not

meddle where you're not wanted,

happen Radcliffe pit

would get along better.

Listen, Mr. Spears,

my duty is the men's health.

Any child would know

that tunnel was unsafe.

It's a sheer miracle that Champion got off

with a pair of crushed legs in the fall!

Happen so, Dr. Griffin.

But Mr. Cobb gives the orders in

Radcliffe pit, and I get 'em carried out.

Happen also, Mr. Cobb says

we don't need no laboratory,

nor no doctor neither.

We're going to give you

a nice little holiday. We?

You can tell Mr. Cobb

I'm not leaving.

I take orders

from Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe.

Sir Geoffrey.

They'll shoot him down

like a mad tyke.

I'll thank you

to get out.

Mr. Cobb's the heir and the owner.

He'll have you out pretty quick.

As long as Sir Geoffrey's alive, Mr.

Cobb knows he has nothing whatever to say.

Now get out of here before I bash

your ugly head in! You'll pay for this!

Mr. Cobb will chuck you out! See if he don't!

What's come over

this place?

An imbecile like Spears

talking to you in that manner.

Hmm, a night watchman. He

never even did thatjob well.

Cobb made him superintendent.

His idea of superintending is to

ignore every one of the safety rules.

I don't understand it.

A man of that type.

Why on earth should Cobb...

Oh!

You know, Frank, it's

surprising how invisibility...

heightens one's

sense of smell.

Good-bye.

Where are you going?

I think I smell something dead up a creek.

Whole place going

to the dogs, that's what.

Hey!

Old crock.

Oh! Ow!

You can't repair it,

Mr. Spears.

I had but one glass of whiskey.

Only one?

Well, two.

Satan!

You can't escape either,

Mr. Spears.

Where are you?

Here I am, Mr. Spears!

Not over there.

Here!

Show yourself, you coward,

and I'll fight you!

Help, help, help!

Faster, Mr. Spears!

Faster!

Help!

Why don't you fly,

Mr. Spears?

Help, help, he...

I told you there was no

escape, didn't I, Mr. Spears?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Here beside you.

B- But I can't see you!

Of course you can't.

I'm a ghost.

Ghost!

Can a ghost sneeze?

It's cold in the otherworld, so cold!

Lend me that handkerchief

of yours, Mr. Spears.

Who are you, ghost?

What do you want of me? They

were going to hang me, Mr. Spears.

- Remember me?

Geoffrey Radcliffe.

But I escaped the noose. I

ran blindly out into the mist.
