The Invisible Man Returns Page #4

I didn't know the marshes were

there. I stumbled and fell.

It pulled me down...

inch by inch, down.

It was a horrible death,

Mr. Spears!

I can't find peace

in the otherworld.

Here, I must have

had a nightmare.

I've been imagining things. It isn't a

very comfortable feeling, is it, Mr. Spears?

H- Have pity, Sir Geoffrey!

Have pity! Did you have any pity on me?

Had you one thought for me, lying day

after day in that prison of despair?

No... Feeling the rope around my throat,

choking the very breath

oflife out of me?

What was it to you?

Nothing!

You were promoted. You

were made superintendent.

There's an account to be settled, Mr. Spears!

I'll tell everything!

I'll tell everything!

Mr. Cobb made me lie! He were in the

shaft when Sir Michael were killed!

I saw you come out, sir, and I

heard Sir Michael call after you.

Then, after you'd come out,

Mr. Cobb come out!

I couldn't help meself, sir.

Mr. Cobb told me

he'd kill me if I told on him!

Sir Geoffrey, you've always

been such a kind man and all.

Have mercy

on a poor, ignorant man!

Sir Geoffrey!

Sir Geoffrey!

Where are you?

Where are you?

That's exactly

what I've been looking for.

No, no, no, no!

Sorry your little trip will have

to be postponed, Mr. Spears.

But don't worry. I'm going

to make you quite comfortable.

And after I've got you

all tucked up for the night,

I've got an appointment to keep with

a certain gentleman named Richard Cobb.

I must say, I wouldn't have given

Richard credit for so much ingenuity.

Helen.

I'm so glad you've come.

You know, you really

are amazing, Helen.

It's hard to believe you've had

so little rest. Thank you, Richard.

Now come and sit down

and tell me all about it.

How's Geoffrey? Geoffrey? I don't know.

I'm sorry. L...

I assumed you'd be with him. Lucky

I got back before the rain started.

Helen, I want you

to trust me.

Without our help,

he hasn't a chance.

The police are sure

to find him.

We'll get him to the continent or to America.

You must tell me where he is, for his sake.

All right, Richard.

I'll start from the beginning.

I'll start from the beginning,

if you don't mind, Helen.

Geoffrey! Yes, Richard,

I've come for a little chat.

Geoffrey, where are you? You're

amongst friends. There's no danger.

Friends like you

are a great comfort.

Where are you, Geoffrey? Show yourself.

I'd have a little difficulty...

doing thatjust now.

Where are you hiding?

Perhaps that will show you

where your friend is hiding.

Sit down.

Now, Richard,

start to write.

Write what?

A confession,

of course.

I- I-I don't know what

you're talking about. No?

Well, then, I'll help

revive your memory.

- You recall my brother, Michael, no doubt?

- Yes.

- And surely you remember killing him?

- It isn't true!

Geoffrey, he didn't kill

Michael! Oh, didn't he?

That shows how little

you know dear old Richard.

It was his charming way of

getting rid ofboth of us...

killing Michael,

implicating me!

No! Don't shoot! No!

No! Don't!

No! Don't!

Oh, Mr. Cobb!

I'm Inspector Sampson.

Can I be of any help?

I don't understand.

Oh, he's here, is he?

Geoffrey!

He's invisible!

Why can't I see him? Smoke a cigar,

Mr. Cobb, and perhaps you will.

Is everyone mad? You must catch

him, Inspector. He wants to kill me!

Hmm? What makes you think

he'd want to do that, Mr. Cobb?

Because he's mad, completely out of his mind!

I must get away!

Your safety means as much to us

as it does to you, Mr. Cobb.

I think you'd be wise to stay.

In fact, I'm sure

you'd better stay!

Out! Out!

You take five men with nets and

smoke cylinders to the upper floor.

You take five men to the

servants' quarters. Very good, sir.

You watch the front door.

You see that all doors and windows

are covered from the outside.

The rest follow me. Now, Mr.

Cobb, I'd be very happy...

to provide you with a cordon

of police to ensure your safety.

Just a moment.

Now, Mr. Cobb,

if you'll just sit down.

Thank you.

You, the door. Close it. Stay there.

You, the window.

You, the back door.

The rest of you

around him close.

Guard this man carefully.

He is extremely valuable.

I appreciate your good

intentions, Inspector,

but I'd rather have an escort

to take me to London.

You're perfectly safe here,

Mr. Cobb. I can assure you.

What assurance can you give me while I'm

in the same house with him? Calm down.

Inspector, you must help me!

I can't stay here!

Take me into protective custody.

Take me to prison!

Plenty of time,

Mr. Cobb.

Plenty of time.

Orders to shoot on sight. I thought

he said the bloke was invisible.

Ya missed him.

How do ya know I did?

You watch the door!

I know.

We nearly got him, sir! As soon as he

steps out in the rain, you can spot him!

Where is he now? We've chased

him back in the house, sir.

Good! Keep at it! We've

got him bottled up now.

Beg your pardon, miss.

Get to work, men.

You've no right here.

Sorry. We have our orders.

You'd better get

out of here, miss.

Will you please leave me alone?

I'll never leave you alone, darling.

Geoffrey! I can get out of

here, if you'll lend me a hand.

Just, uh, faint,

will you please, darling?

Faint?

There's nothing

in the servants' rooms, sir.

Stay here till

they finish upstairs.

When they come down, we'll do

the ground floor and the cellar.

I know he's here.

Hey, shut that off!

What's the matter with the blasted

thing? It's the safety valve!

The safety valve!

The safety valve!

Make way, you men!

We need air!

Come! Get her out!

Quick! She needs air!

Get her out! Get out of the way! Bill! Harry!

Come quick!

We've got him!

Upstairs!

Quick!

There you are.

Come on.

Put your shoulders

into it.

It isn't him, sir.

A profound observation.

Evening, Briggs.

Evening, sir.

Everything quiet?

Quiet as the grave.

Rain's stopped.

About time too.

Not so lovely for you if our

friend drops in. I'm ready for him!

Fat lot of good that will be

against something that isn't there.

I don't hold with no spiritualism.

This isn't spiritualism.

This spook's alive! How can

he be alive if he isn't there?

You'll know soon enough

when he suddenly...

leaps on your back and

starts sucking your blood!

Get off.

See ya later,

I hope.

Briggs! Briggs!

What's the matter?

Something moved!

Did it?

Who's up there?

Come down now

or you'll cop it.

See you later,

I hope.

Answer it, Helen.

Hello? Geoff!

Sorry, Helen, I couldn't come

to the lab. I'm at Frank's house.

Of course the place is guarded, but little

things like that don't stop me any longer.

Tell Frank this house ofhis is chilly. I'm

going to get into his best suit of clothes.

Just a minute. He's at your house.

He wants some of your clothes.

Tell him to go ahead.

Help yourself, dear.

I will. You and Frank come over

here. We're going to celebrate!

Celebrate?

Well, yes,

we'll be over soon.

"Celebrate"!

What on earth does he want to

celebrate? That he must go mad?
