:03:00
I waited three days. She didn't come.
She didn't even send a message.
:03:04
It was horrible. Waiting.
:03:07
I sent her another letter.
:03:08
Yesterday afternoon
I went to the post office.
:03:11
Corinne didn't call for her mail,
but Floyd Thursby did.
:03:14
He wouldn't tell me where Corinne was.
:03:16
He said she didn't want to see me.
:03:18
I can't believe that.
:03:20
He promised to bring her to the hotel
if she'd come.
:03:23
He said he knew she wouldn't.
He promised to come if she didn't.
:03:27
Excuse me.
:03:28
It's all right, Miles. Come in.
:03:31
Miss Wonderly, my partner, Miles Archer.
:03:34
Miss Wonderly's sister ran away
with a fellow named Thursby.
:03:37
They're here in San Francisco.
:03:39
Miss Wonderly has a date
with Thursby tonight.
:03:41
Maybe he'll bring the sister.
The chances are he won't.
:03:44
Miss Wonderly wants us to find the sister,
get her away from him and back home.
:03:48
-Right?
-Yes.
:03:51
Now it's simply a matter of having a man
at the hotel tonight...
:03:54
...to shadow him when he leads us
to your sister.
:03:56
If, after we've found her,
she still won't leave him...
:03:59
...well, we have ways of managing that.
:04:02
You must be careful.
:04:03
I'm deathly afraid of him,
of what he might do.
:04:06
She's young, and his bringing her here
is a serious....
:04:08
Mightn't he do something to her?
:04:10
Just leave that to us.
We'll know how to handle him.
:04:13
But I want you to know
he's a dangerous man.
:04:15
I honestly don't think
he'd stop at anything.
:04:18
I don't think he'd hesitate to kill Corinne
if it would save him.
:04:21
Could he cover up by marrying her?
:04:24
He has a wife and three children
in England.
:04:26
They usually do, though not always
in England. What does he look like?
:04:30
He has dark hair
and thick, bushy eyebrows.
:04:33
He talks in a loud, blustery manner.
He gives the impression of being violent.
:04:37
He was wearing a light gray suit and
a gray hat when I saw him this morning.
:04:40
What does he do?
:04:42
I haven't the faintest idea.
:04:43
-What time's he comin' to see you?
-After 8:00.
:04:46
All right, Miss Wonderly.
We'll have a man there.
:04:49
I'll look after it myself.
:04:51
Thank you.
:04:55
Oh, yes.
