Charlie Chan at Treasure Island Page #6

---

- What? Try and get it.

If request music, must be

willing to pay for fiddler.

- I could get you a whole orchestra for that price.

- [Charlie] Should not complain.

Received most enlightening

message concerning lady friend.

Well, Eve and I are going to get married,

no matter what that faker had to say.

Eve Cairo's part of my act,

Charlie. Pete met her through me.

She's tops in mind reading.

- Mind reading?

- She's on the level, Charlie. Her stuff's no gag.

And I'm gonna have a showdown with her

tonight. She's not coming here anymore.

Very wise. Dr. Zodiac man of great ego.

Enjoys using power to

dominate lives of others.

Advise caution. To destroy false prophet...

must first unmask him

before eyes of believers.

[Phone Rings]

Yes, please?

Oh. Hello, Mr. Kilvaine.

You get autopsy report?

You had a hunch, Charlie. There was

enough poison in Paul Essex's stomach...

to have polished off 10 men.

Think it was plain suicide or fancy murder?

Voice of crime still very faint.

Think it best you tell newspapers,

coroner reports suicide.

Pete tells me you sprung the

blackmail angle on Zodiac.

What's up, Charlie? Was

he squeezing Paul Essex?

Hunch say yes, but facts say maybe.

Will keep you informed. Good-bye.

[Deep Voice] Good evening, Mr. Chan.

May I have a minute of your time?

Do you have a son named Jimmy Chan?

Wearer of disguise only fool chambermaid.

[Normal Voice] Aw, gee, Pop.

Father who depends on son is

happy or foolish according to son.

Please, job.

Hey, this is my tie

- my best tie.

Little mouse lucky his

clothes do not fit elephant.

You haven't asked me where I've been.

Looking for Mr. Gregory.

Yeah. I checked at several

hotels, and I found him too.

He's registered at the Walling, and

he's got Paul's briefcase with him.

But when he saw busybody son, he vanished.

That's right. When he saw me, he ducked

out of the lobby, and then I lost him.

What time was this?

Gee, Pop, l-I'm awfully sorry.

I didn't look at the time.

Was Gregory at Hotel Walling at 4:00?

Yes. No, uh, earlier, I think.

Yes, earlier. No, I'm... not sure.

But if it's important, I can check.

- Right now check into dress clothes.

- Where are we going?

Have invitation to a small party

Mr. Rhadini gives on Treasure Island.

- You don't like parties.

- Am anxious to make acquaintance...

of girlfriend of newspaperman-

girl who believes and obeys Dr. Zodiac.

But I'd like to help out. We've

got to find that briefcase.

Can best help out by disguising

self as obedient son for few hours.

Come.

Don't wait for me, Pop. See you later.

What you say?

- ~~[Hawaiian]

- [Men Chanting]

Hello, Irma. How are you?

It's swell of you to come. Glad to see you.
