Come on. Hurry!
Hello. This is Edgar Wallace.
Traitor's Gate
subs by Dia: daedia@ish.de
And this is the Wakefield- or Jewel-Tower. Aged 800 years...
...he was held for the lands strongest fortress. So the crown-jewels were hidden here.
Today the most modern alarm system makes it absolutely burglar-proof.
In 1671 Captain Blood made the last unavailing try
to steal the British crown. And here she is - gemmed with jewels and pearls.
The ruby of the black prince is a special centrepiece, which was worn...
by Heinrich V. in Agincourt. The famous Stewart-sapphire took...
with him while fleeing. Here are the golden spurs of King Karl II
and the jewel gemmed orb. Over here is the sceptre.
The diamond on the cross weights 530 carats. He is called the "Star of Africa",
A present for Edward VII. The crown-jewels total worth...
never was calculated till now.
It’s impossible to estimate those unique treasuries.
Ladies and gentlemen, now follow me to the royal medal ribbons.
The guards will change after the next guided tour.
We’re taping since 10.45.
And now we are entering the Wakefield -tower. Please follow me.
He was questioning me. He wants to know everything about us.
Yes, he’s a curious young man.
What did you tell him? - Nothing. - Our friend doesn’t seem to trust him.
He doesn’t know him yet. -When will our friend arrive?
Just keep an eye on your telescope.
Good morning Mr. Graham. - Do we know each other, doll?
No, but I know you and that’s all that matters. - Not for me.
Where am I and why? Who organized my break-out?
Don’t you feel ok here? - For the moment yes, but first...
you have to put your cards on the table, before I join your game.
All you need is here...and here. You can shave in the bathroom.
And you’ll get a visitor in 15 Minutes.
No, if he can’t deliver up to the 25th, we cancel the contract.
Where did we stop? - At Peterson and Peterson.
Just write the order will get delayed, because of....well, you know.
I will sign it later. And call the south-american.
I will take a taxi to the office and begin to write.
Don’t you want to wait. - Wait? - Just fetch me in an hour, John.
It seems you haven’t realised where we are.
That’s really nice of you. - Nonsense, just don’t forget, just an hour.
John...John...John
What’s up? - Rubbish!
I just don’t wanted to carry this around, because... - Should I take it?
No, that’s out of question. - Oh, come on.
Really, that’s so nice of you. Thanks. - So, see you in an hour.
Martin, just let me see.
Do you think these old ruins are so attractive?
Old and wonderful...
...and promising. It’s really fascinating for me, darling.
Just fetch our guest, Martin.
Dinah, do you think Graham is trustworthy? - You chose him yourself.
Chose? For what? - Oh. Mr. Graham.
I hope you slept well. - I would have slept better, knowing why I’m here.
That’s a good question. You will get the answer later.
Say, would you like 25.000 Pounds and a new passport, you choose the name?
Whom should I kill for that? - Nobody, at least I hope so.
Thanks, but this sounds like a fiddle. I don’t have anything to offer worth this.
You look alike someone else. That’s worth a lot.
Graham, right now I just want to know if your interested in principle.
And what if I’m not? - Straight back to Dartmoor.
He’s going inside. - Thanks, Martin.
Darling, what a surprise.
Why aren’t you in the office? - Mr. Trayne took me here.
The wonderful Mr. Trayne.
Why don’t you like him? - I just don’t like that you...
...have to work for him. - You don’t like me working at all.
Is this wrong? - No, just old-fashioned.
All woman are working today. - You don’t have to anymore after we’re married.
Then I will drown in luxury. - I know girls who would jump at it.
Perhaps you should marry one of them. I love my job and my independence.
And I will keep both for a while. If I married you I would have six children soon after.
And these children would need a father. So for the hundredth time: When will we marry?
Perhaps soon. - How soon is soon?
Stop bothering me or I won’t marry you at all. Understand?
Promise. never ask you again...Kiss?
Sorry sir, may I interrupt for a moment? - Yes. Please Sergeant Carter.
How you’re doing Sergeant Carter? - Fine, thanks Miss Hope.
You have to sign the report, Sir. I also brought the arrangement plan for the sentries.
Later, Sergeant Carter not now.
Sorry Sir, but the company commander wants the report back till 11.30.
I will wait outside. - Doesn’t it bother you? - No problem.
Ok, sergeant, what’s up?
Post No. 1 12 to 14 o’clock, guard commander Riordan...
Thank you my child.
I don’t want any interruption in the next half hour. - Ok, sir.
Ok, sergeant, what’s up? - Post No. 1 12 to 14 o’clock, guard commander Riordan...
Good morning. -Good morning, sir.
Is Mr. Trayne in? - He’s in a meeting.
He’ll have time for me. -I don’t believe...
He’ll have time for Mr. King. Just announce me fast.
I told you I’m busy. - Here’s a Mr. King.
He told me you would have time for him. -Just a moment.
Send Mr. King in.
I hope you have a good reason to come here. - Yes, Mr. Trayne, I have one.
Escape from Dartmoor
How should this concern me? - I’ll tell you Mr. Trayne...
I was released from Dartmoor three month ago. While in I confused Graham ....
with my old guard commander. So I told a buddy of mine
and a few days later I was interrogated about Graham. Now I read this...
And..? - I’m not stupid Mr. Trayne. I know Graham really well.
He has the look, but he’s nothing. A real loser but still...
somebody uses money to let him flee. And I think it was you.
Anything else to report, King? - Well, I think there must be something in for me also
So, if I understand you right....Yes! - Pardon the interruption, but your date with Mr. John...
you’ll be late. - Oh, of course. Sorry Mr. King, I have to go...
but here’s a address where you’ll get help. You can count on this.
Do you have the "Spiegel"? - What? - "The "Spiegel", its a German magazine.
Nobody asked for that before. Ask in Soho. - But I’m a tourist.
Never would have imagined this. - I’m looking for landmarks...
of the more unusual kind which aren’t mentioned in the guides. Can you help me?
Hmmh, yes. Just go this way. This street leads directly to the "Dandy-Club".
Are there sights to see? - Masses of them.
Thank you, thank you very much.
What did you say his name was? King? Oh, Mr. King.
Yes, ok. As soon as he appears I will send him to your office.
So: this old geezer takes out his monocle and says: Dear child...
...at which time finally you will strip to the buff? - No!
I really thought he....Oh, good day. - Good day, is this the "Dandy-Club"?
Oh, yes. Of course. - I’m interested in the sights of London.
The guy at the bookstall out there told me I would find unusual sights here.
That’s the truth, Sir. 25 Shilling please.
This is a misunderstanding. I’m alone, I only need one ticket
No it’s right, 25 Shilling.
Yes. - Alright. 20 and 5. Ok, here’s your ticket. There’s the entrance.
Thanks again. And now I expect something really unusual to see for my 25 Shillings.
You will.
Mr. Trayne send me. He told me you’ve got something for me.
Oh, yes. Wait here please.
Yes......but..what are you doing?
Please tell Mr. Trayne...I don’t want anything from him.
I mean....what I mean is.... what do you want to do with me?
Shut up!
What’s up? Didn’t find something fitting? - I....hmmmh
If you don’t like real art why don’t you just visit the tower.
Stop! - Key-escort...stop.
Who goes there? -The keys!
Whose keys? - Queen Elisabeth’s keys.
Hand over Queen Elisabeth’s keys. Everything’s ok.
Key escort...attention. forward ...march.
Key escort....attention. Right turn....march.
Key escort.....hold.
Post and escort. Present arms.
God save Queen Elisabeth. - Amen!
Post and escort. Down arms.
Escort....march.
Escort...stand still till replacement.
Posts for main guard. Dismissed!
And now? - Nothing!
And the keys? - I gonna lock them in the safe.
Now you can tell our children, you saw their dad doing the key ceremony.
Dreaming of the future again. - That’s all you allow me to do.
Are we going to eat now? - And leaving the majesty’s jewels unprotected?
Nobody would steal this old loot.
More power or it won’t work.
It’s time. Out of here.
3 minutes 15 seconds. This has to work faster, Spider. Can you do it?
If we change the mix the flame would be hotter. This could be faster.
Good. Lets do it. We’ll try again tomorrow.
Ok, good night - Good night.
Well Graham. What do you think?
I’m overwhelmed. - Great specialists. A good team.
Everyone is perfect in his part. And this was our smallest problem.
Why? - Because the men have to get into the tower before they could start.
And the tower is guarded by her majesties soldiers.
In the general opinion any intrusion is impossible.
But even with all the electronic safeguards around it’s relatively simple.....
to get the jewels. So our problem no.1 is entering the tower.
Problem no. 2... - Getting out!
Correct! Problem 3: escape. Get in, get out, escape!
And what’s my part in this? - You let us in.
I? - Yes, you and him.
You have a special assignment. Without you we could do nothing.
I don’t get it. - How could you? Dinah,....
please drive Mr. Graham home. We still have something to discuss.
Tomorrow I will explain everything to you.
So? - What? - I gonna drive you home.
Company....hold!
Right turn!
Guard....march!
Stand still! Without forward .... march!
What do you think? - Like a twin brother. Impressive!
Replacement....march!
What’s going on? - This man is observing you.
I noticed him before. To the left. The one with all the cameras.
Are you sure? -Yes, absolutely. Do you know him?
No, I’m sure not.
He’s following us.
I gonna check this out.
Just a moment. Why are you following us?
Following you. Dear god, no! Why should I follow a stranger?
I really don’t know you! - And why ARE you following us?
No, sir. Just like I explained before. I’m in no way following you.
I....I’m just looking for the men’s room.
Soooo....just spit it out! - Let me go right now!
You just can’t abuse me unpunished! - The truth, what’s going on here?
Good morning, sir. I’m a tourist and visiting the tower for the first time.
Perhaps you can give me more information about the historical aspects of it....
Shall we inform Trayne? - No
Who was the man you talked to? Martin saw you.
Just some guy who was bothering Dinah. So I made him leave.
This was stupid. I told you to stay low-key.
And I did. The boy has probably already forgotten this situation.
You know your double now! Will you be able to copy him?
If I’ve got enough time, yes. No Question. - We don’t have much time.
Martin!
You have 4 days to study this man. His costumes, the way he moves,...
how he takes the parade, what he does in private. Attention now.
Hey! Who’s this? - His fiancé, my secretary.
You really thought of everything. - She’s really a good secretary.
I won’t lose her lightly.
This is his office. And this is sergeant Carter of the guard.
It’s unavoidable that you’ll meet him. Now keep an eye on this!
You see this? This is one of his habits.
Every few minutes he will adjust his chin strap.
This and his other habits you have to train....
...till they are second nature to you. You have 4 hard days in front of you.
Post to main guard ...dismiss!
Get ready to change guards!
Post to main guard....dismiss! No!
And I - right through the thick of it and BANG, there I was laying.
When I looked around I found myself in the colonels conservatory.
And by a hair's breadth he brought me to court martial.
What do you think little girl? -My name is Hope.
Yes I know little girl. And what about you old house?
Nothing, but the doggily wants a cookily.
And the dog ownerly needs a whiskey. Where’s the waiter?
No ones in sight if you need them. As usual.
If I had a company of waiters I would keep them on the go.
Here you see one of the six main entrances.
And right now you can see a changing of guards.
All gates to the tower are manned with royal guards.
Now, please follow me into the tower.
Interesting, really interesting. But you already told me this.
Dear inspector. This is a photo of this highly suspicious person.
From the Dandy-Club? - Exactly. They moved the body...
...in his car. - We checked your report carefully...
...and couldn’t find a thing. But with the help of this photo.....
Right. Nothing. No body, no blood no missing person report.
Not even any witness. - But I was a witness.
That’s what you are saying. So, we will check the woman’s particulars...
...and see what we find there. Ok? -I’m sure your work will be rewarded.
In the meantime I will further follow the case.
As you wish. - It’s my duty. Have a nice day.
If this Sherlock Holmes calls again tell him I died. Sent him to Interpol.
At least you should take a closer look at this woman.
I’m sure there’s a bottle of champagne left.
Why are we celebrating at all?
Just fetch it.
What’s going on between you and Trayne? Just a business matter?
Pure business....up to now.
And what about your private life?
It never was as great as right now.
Lets drink to 25.000 pounds.
Where will you go with it? - South America....Pacific.
Some nice Island, where I could live like a king.
Don’t you need a queen?
Why not. It will be a tough choice. The girls there are really beautiful.
What do you think Trayne will keep from this deal?
100.000? - One Million. -
You’re kidding me. - Absolutely not!
If everything works out the bounty will be 1.5 million.
Trayne will keep 1 million, the rest will be parted between all others.
How many others? - 24!
This is a big machine. - Oh yes.
And I know his plan in every detail.
You are a devil! What’s going on in this little beautiful head?
I just think about how much nicer "1 million" sounds,
compared to "25.000"!
A toast to 1 million pounds!
I’m glad we finally meet each other, Mr. Carneby. So sad you are on duty...
...and can’t accompany us on our trip to Paris.
On the other hand I understood the crown-jewels have to be guarded.
Have you ever seen the treasure? - Sadly no, but I will soon.
Dick would surely love to show you around, but he doesn’t take tips.
I envy you for the trip to Paris, Mr. Trayne. - We won’t have much of free time.
What about another drink? - No, thanks but I have to go.
It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Carneby. That’s all for today, see you tomorrow.
I envy you for the trip to Paris, Mr. Trayne.
You should learn his way of talking. Try to get his cadence.
I don’t go to Paris for fun, but for business.
Although I don’t like it
He’s my boss and nothing more.
Perhaps I’ve heard to much about such "Parisian Conferences".
You should be proud of me being so indispensable for Trayne.
As long as its the only reason. - You never know.
You never visited Paris with me. - You never asked me
Civilists! - Don’t say that. Some of them are....
charming and women like them. - Like Trayne?
Jealous? - Of course. A weekend in Paris....
...and you in this here. - No, I won’t take this with me.
Tomorrow, tomorrow night.
In just 48 hours we will reach our goal...
...and will come apart again.
As planned I will pay you from my private account.
This way we don’t have to meet again, after I ditched the "material".
The shares of anyone have already been transferred to your accounts.
Last Instructions: The Wakefield Tower.
Our goal. The dockyard-gates - our doorway and exit.
John! - I will pick up Miss Hope at exactly 3.15.
Better make it 3.20. The Harbour Police changes shift at 3.15.
Ok, 3.20. Martin! - I get into position at 11.00,
attach the payload and leave.
The ignitions will start at midnight. - Kinski!
I’ll wait at the place behind Tower-hill for Martins sign.
Graham! - I’m at the gate at 9.45. As officer I will...
do the key-ceremony. From 9.45 to midnight I will do his duty.
At midnight I unlock the dockyard-gates and let in the men.
Peters! - Because I’m the officer he shouldn’t be there.
He won’t be! It’s been taken care of. He’ll be somewhere else.
John, where are we? This isn’t the way to the airport
It worked just great.
Everything’s ok? Great, so I will drive the car in.
Careful, there’s still gas in it
be careful when pulling her out.
What? - The boat is at bay 5. No liner but it will do.
You won’t hit a spectacle wearer, wouldn’t you?
Dick! - The uniform suits me well.
Lets hope you’ll bluff the guards also. Bring her to the bedroom.
Everyone will fall for me.
All prepared to take me aboard? - But after you played your role.
Break a leg! I also have to change now.
Now it’s time.
Take off your clothes, Hope. Hurry!
No! I'll be blowed if I'll do it.
Keep an eye on her
An officer of the guard never drinks on duty.
I just wanted to calm my nerves. I’m taking the biggest risk of all.
And you’ll get a baronial reward for it...Mr. Lee Carneby.
Great...great!
Did you finally guess what’s our plan?
You want to break into the tower
And you only have to fulfil one wish to us.
Good evening , Sir. - Good evening.
What you’ve got there? The crown-jewels?
Sadly only a few, Sir.
So! - I won’t do it. He would be court-marshalled.
As you wish. So he gets shot. Get her to the telescope.
Here!
You won’t get past the guards, I fear.
There’s a call for you.
Hello? - Dick...
Hope, are you calling from Paris? - No, I’m in London.
What? - Something terrible just happened.
Hope, are you ok? - Don’t worry. Please, I need to talk to you right now.
Now? - Yes, can you disengage?
I don’t think so. I’m on duty. Where are you?
In Trayne´s car. I’m at the tower in 3 minutes
Ok. This could work. I have to check the west-gate.
Wait for me.
Sergeant!
Sir! - I’ll be back in a few minutes.
Yes, Sir!
Graham has entered the tower. - Thanks, I saw it.
Bring him aboard right now.
Oh, Mr. Carneby. - I’m in a hurry.
But you asked me to buy cigarettes.
Yes, of course. Did I pay them?
No, they will go on the casino-bill.
Sir! - Everything’s ok, Sergeant?
Yes, Sir! - Ok, so go on.
What have you done to Dick? - Nothing, he’s ok and asleep.
Perhaps he’s dreaming about a journey to Paris...with you.
What are you going to do with the girl?
I’ll think of something when all this is over.
How’s life in South-america? - Damn expensive.
Graham wants to go there. After he went to Amsterdam.
His journey won’t get far.
Come! - We’re ready.
From now on use the radio only in emergency. - Ok!
Stop! - Key-escort..stop!
Who goes there? - The keys.
Whose keys? - Queen Elisabeth’s keys.
Hand over Queen Elisabeth’s keys. Everything’s ok.
Key-escort...cadence...march.
Key-escort...attention right turn...march
Key escort.....stop.
Post and escort. Present arms.
God save Queen Elisabeth. - Amen!
He did great.
You seem to worry about him. - And you don’t?
Is it still far? - I don’t think so. - This stuff is heavy.
Just throw it down and you don’t have to ask anything anymore.
Don’t cry wolf.
How much longer?
Just pour me one also, old chap.
I had a hard day, even if I don’t look this way.
What happened?
Now I feel better. And what about you?
Did Mary told you about me... Of course not. I forgot to tell her.
What happened yesterday at the casino? Sounded like a lot of fun.
Did you attend? Did you tell the old guy about my bad luck?
Yes, of course. - Oh. And I thought I forgot to ask you
Ah. Never mind. Cheerio.
So, see you tomorrow. Sleep well, old chap.
That was close.
Permission to switch to emergency light, Sir. - Make it so, Sergeant Carter.
Lets go.
Stop...Who goes there? - Officer on duty.
I go the rounds.
Three posts till the Wakefield tower.
Post! - Sir!
It’s a shame to take his money! Lets go.
Stop!
To the guardroom.
You’ve got 4 minutes. - Ok. Come on.
We wait here.
Who are you?
Turn around.
Many thanks, Lieutenant of the royal guard. - You know me?
I saw you at the tower. - Turn around.
What’s happening at the tower? - They’re stealing your crown-jewels.
And we can’t do anything.
Its time. Get out!
Come! - What?
Here’s the stuff for the boss!
We have to go.
The boat is anchored at the stairway. It will bring you to the ship.
Do you think that’s a good idea?
Yes, I have no other choice.
Just look at this.
I’ve did it!
We have to leave. Bring the trunks to the car.
Now I will go to Hope
Why all the hurry?
Why aren’t you on the ship? - You can keep this junk. I’ll take your bag.
You thought would wait for the police on the freighter,.....
while you flee with your helicopter and the real stuff.
Well, ok then.
We change the plan and you will go with us. No Problem, really.
But tell me, who told you....
Come!
In through the air-duct, fetched the pieces with pincers and gone through the door....
this is life-sentence. Can’t wait to see what else they did. And kill this alarm bell.
Where is Trayne? - What are you doing here?
In want to go the the helicopter. - But not now. Gimme the gun.
What’s with the girl? - Hope?
She has to stay here. - No, she saw us all. You’ve got to get her.
This is a armoury. - This was a little private army.
About ten men. Foreign gadgets mostly. Hellooo...
What’s this?...Ohhh.
Somebody lead them from the outside. And from close by also.
Ask the radio-operator if he can help us here.
Who’s there?
Police! - Help me please!
I’m trapped in an apartment. - Tell us exactly where you are.
Can you see the river from the window? - No, I’m looking at the tower
I think it’s the top floor. They could be back any time now. I...
Follow me!
We’ve bee cut of. Let’s search her.
Do you think the boat will be there? - Yes certainly. Don’t worry.
A police car follows us.
Drive on. It was a trick. There’s no car following us.
So this is the apartment. - Yes - Did you find the girl? - No!
Do you feel better, Mr. ...? - Trayne!
What happened?
Somebody came running in and knocked me down.
How did these came here? Aren’t these the crown-jewels?
I don’t think so, Mr. Trayne. Gold is very heavy. These are lightweight.
A short time ago a girl was up here. Do you know where she is now?
No. No.
Is this your apartment, Mr. Trayne? - No, no, no, no...
it belongs to a girl friend of mine.
Miss Dinah Pauling. Like the doorplate says.
She has a wonderful view up here.
You know you can watch into the tower directly from here?
Somebody broke in there a short time ago. The real crown-jewels were stolen.
Unfortunately you are in a apartment with a perfect view into the tower.
And on this.
You think Dinah has something to do with it? Laughable!
Now I understand why she wanted exactly this apartment.
You think she had organized all this?
That’s impossible. And why would she need the copies.
I think we should find them. This gig was planned carefully.
I’m sorry. But right now this is all I know.
I just want to see a doctor now. - The police doctor will be here soon.
Till then I have some questions for you.
Why did you kill your driver?
This is outrageous. Why should I.
I already told you: Someone came in...
I will raise charges against you.
What do you prefer? For for stealing the jewels or killing?
He was killed by an ex-convict named Graham.
Graham and the real jewels are aboard a freighter...the Meta Smid.
She’s about to coast now. Around 1.
Gimme the harbour police. - Be fast. There’s a bomb aboard.
Ok. You got the jewels. But if you can sell them....
You only have to ferry them, that’s all. We know where Trayne wanted to sell them.
We split the proceeds in three. Ok? - I’m in.
But if there’s any trouble you go overboard.
Ready?
What about her? - I will take care of her in Amsterdam...
and of the other two. Where are they? - In the second hold, one deck below.
I’ll bring her down, ok? Come on!
Good, good.
Take of his jacket. Darling.
Attention! Attention! This is the police.
Stop your engines!
The police. That’s not my thing. You have to stand for this.
Sorry, but there’s no other way.
Graham.
Hurry up. The police.
You’re crazy!
Graham! - Come!
Lets get out!
The bag is in there! Graham has the key.
Now lets get out fast.
Gimme the bag!
Catch it!
Attention. Here’s the police.
Danger! Leave the boat immediately.
Full speed ahead. We have to go.
You want to leave them behind? - Nobody escapes. There’s a bomb aboard.
Don’t worry. I defused the bomb.
This was my last shot. I think it’s an happy ending.
