1:17:01
I had to tell those gentlemen
the truth.

1:17:04
You didn't tell them my name.
1:17:05
I don't know your name.
1:17:07
Yes you do, Rupert.
1:17:09
- Rupert what?
- Macabee.

1:17:11
Macabee! A Scot!
1:17:14
No wonder you're a non-conformist.
1:17:18
- Is that your move?
- There's no other move.

1:17:20
Very well.
1:17:23
Set them up. We'll play again.
1:17:26
Where's Mr. Jaume?
1:17:28
He went down to the bank
with the plans.

1:17:30
Were the gentlemen interested?
1:17:33
They say they have
similar plans of their own.

1:17:37
This is another televised
recording of the investigation

1:17:41
of the Congressional Committee
on Un-American Activities

1:17:43
going on in the Federal Building
downtown New York City.

1:17:47
They'll expose communism in all
branches of American institutions.

1:17:51
The Committee has already
questioned scientists,

1:17:53
educators, churchmen,
writers and actors.

1:17:56
But first a glimpse
of the humorous side.

1:18:00
The investigators indulge
in a Hollywood touch,

1:18:02
to make themselves photogenic
before appearing on television.

1:18:05
And nowfor a more serious aspect.
1:18:07
The actual investigation
in progress.

1:18:09
The chairman
is questioning a witness.

1:18:11
Raise your right hand.
1:18:13
Do you swear to tell the truth?
1:18:15
I do.
1:18:16
- State your name.
- James Durkin.

1:18:17
- Profession?
- School teacher.

1:18:20
Mr Durkin, were you ever
a member of the Communist Party?

1:18:23
I was, Sir. I joined the Communist
Party in 1940, resigned in 1950.

1:18:28
In 1940 did you meet Mr and Mrs
Macabee, school teachers?

1:18:32
I did, Sir.
1:18:33
Mr and Mrs Macabee, stand up.
1:18:38
Take a look at this man and woman.
1:18:41
Are they the same Macabees
that you met in 1940?

1:18:45
They are, Sir.
1:18:47
To the best of your recollection,
1:18:48
were they at that time members
of the Communist Party?

1:18:52
They were, Sir.
1:18:54
That's all, Mr Durkin.
1:18:56
Mr Macabee will now
take the witness stand.

1:18:59
On the witness stand, Macabee
admitted he had been a communist,
