Man Hunt Page #2

---

- Oh, naturally.

It had to be a loaded rifle

with my finger on the trigger...

with only my individual will,

my civilized conscience...

- between me and the extermination of your strutting little Caesar.

- Thorndike!

I mean no insult, but how do you expect me

to describe a man who wants to play God...

and have everyone else in the world

run around and say, Heil Hitler"?

- Thorndike, I warn you.

- Oh, no, thank you.

Oh.

For the last time,

will you sign this document?

You are in no position to refuse.

That's for me to decide, isn't it?

You're thinking it is easy

to throw away your life.

Yes, it is.

But, uh, how well do you stand pain?

If you won't listen to me,

you'll have to talk it over with these men.

I would save you from their persuasion.

Very well.

Tell him His Excellency, the German

ambassador, desires to speak with him.

Of course he was there, sir-

all the time.

- The German ambassador is on the telephone, my lord.

- What?

Has a man no privacy even in his own home

in the middle of the night?

I told him I would see

if you were still up, my lord.

Oh, very well, very well.

Hello. Hello.

Yes, Risborough Speaking.

Uh, good evening, Your Excellency.

A pleasure, I assure you.

I heard some rumor that Captain Thorndike

is visiting our country.

I'm sure I don't know, Your Excellency.

Have you called his club?

I wish to telegraph my friends in Berlin

to see that he's taken care of properly.

We cannot, of course, neglect any member

of Your LordShip's family.

It's extremely gracious of Your Excellency,

but I'm sure you're mistaken.

I haven't seen him for weeks.

Sportsman, you know.

Always running off to the end of the world

to catch a fish or some such nonsense.

I'm positive he's not on the Continent.

He may be on his ranch in Canada.

Spends a lot of time there.

Not at all. Not at all.

Why, a great pleasure, I assure you.

The man is a fool,

but absolutely honest.

The gestapo are a pack of-

- Send this message to Berchtesgaden.

- Yes, sir.

I should hesitate to

question the efficiency...

of the gestapo agent...

who claims to be holding Thorndike.

But after my conversation

with Lord Risborough...

I am convinced Thorndike

cannot possibly be your man.

Clearly a case of mistaken identity.

Always glad to be of service. " Idiot.

Doktor.

Thorndike.

Thorndike!

You're being exasperatingly

stubborn.

You must realize that

this cannot Continue much longer.

Are you ready to sign?

Believe me, my dear fellow,

I don't want you to die.

- Just sign your name and it'll be

important for us that you live.

You will receive the best

of medical treatment.

You will be free to go home,

free to live on that fine estate of yours...
