The Invisible Man's Revenge Page #2

What will you have, Rob? Whiskey.

Done yourself well, haven't you?

Is this one of your bad investments?

I didn't buy Shortlands. It came down to me.

Like your title? Old and honorable, eh?

Stop being sinister, Rob.

It isn't becoming.

Here you are. Thanks.

A bit smoky, that scotch. I

hope you don't mind. Jasper.

I'm sorry I jumped on you like that.

Well, here's how.

Julie? Yes, that's Julie.

I'd know her anywhere.

I bet you never dreamed what became of

that picture you had of her on safari.

It was lost. No, it wasn't.

I've got it. I've kept it always.

I'm a deep one, you know.

I've always been a deep

one. Lay my plans ahead.

Why not? It's the thing to do, isn't it?

Marry into some honorable family, good blood.

I'm as good as the next one,

aren't I? Why, of course, Rob.

Well, then why isn't she

here? She'll be home tomorrow.

Hmm. I... must spruce up a bit.

Never do to see me like this. ...

Jasper, help him.

Here, hold on now.

What's the matter?

I don't know. ...

Everything is swimming. Sit down a minute.

It'll pass. So much excitement.

I'll be all right.

Don't try anything.

I want my half.

I want Julie.

He's unconscious. What's

happened to him, Irene?

The man is definitely psychopathic.

You see how one drink has

affected his warped mind?

This is not the man we

knew and loved, Jasper.

This is a madman. He's dangerous.

He honestly believes we

tried to kill him in Africa.

There's no telling what he may

do when he regains consciousness.

We've got to get him off the property.

Yes, I suppose so. It seems brutal, but...

Well, I suppose it's the best

way, for his sake as well as ours.

The authorities will pick

him up and care for him.

I won't let him ruin our lives and Julie's.

No, no, you can't do that, Irene.

You heard what he threatened.

Do you want a scandal?

Do you want him blackmailing

us and persecuting Julie?

No, of course not.

Then we must keep this and take care of it...

until he's rational again,

and then give it back to him...

and make whatever

settlement he feels is fair.

Naturally, neither of us want

to cheat him out of his rights,

but certainly we can't have

a madman roaming about...

with a club like this over our heads.

As soon as he's able to walk...

Well, it won't do you any good,

'cause I'll come back, Jasper.

I'll come back. And when

I do, I'll get you and...

Oh, Cleghorn.

Yes, sir?

If that fellow ever shows his face

in here again, send for the police.

You understand?

Yes, Sir Jasper.

I gotta go home to my... wife

Home to my sweet storm and strife

Help!

Help!

Hello!

Help! Somethin's happened around 'ere.

'Ere! Come over 'ere! Hey, come over 'ere!

Move your hands! Over 'ere!
