It's obvious you know where

they are. Put that stuff down!

Mr. Cobb, please

don't think me rude,

but I have an enormous

amount of work to do.

Now look here,

Dr. Griffin,

I've supported this laboratory in the tradition

of my cousins and their humanitarian ideas.

I must ask you to give me the same

consideration as you would give to them.

Gladly.

Very well then.

If they're together,

they have no money.

You must tell me how I can

help them. It's criminal not to.

I'm sorry.

Very well.

Sir Geoffrey's a right

smart lad. He'll get through.

And if he needs any help, he

knows where to come for it. Aye.

Come on, you men! Look alive there,

look alive! Can't have work interrupted.

Haven't you heard? Sir Geoffrey has

escaped. They do say it's a mystery.

Seemingly when a chap puts one over

on the law, it's always a mystery.

The mystery would be

if they catched him!

That's no business of yours!

Perhaps it occurred to you,

the company doesn't pay you to

stand here swappin' mystery stories.

Keep thee wig on, Willie.

Mr. Spears to you.

I'll thank you

to show proper respect.

Go on now. Get down that shaft

if you want to keep off the dole.

All right,

Mr. Willie Spears.

Get back to work, I tell thee!

Get outta my way! Here!

What can I do for you?

Where can I find Dr. Griffin?

Who might you be?

Scotland Yard.

Oh, yes, sir. I reckon you'll find

him in the hospital building, sir.

In his laboratory.

Right over there.

Thank you.

A couple of cops. Yeah,

a lot they'll find out.

Ah! Aye, they're up to something.

The gentleman wishes to

see you, sir. Dr. Griffin?

Yes. I'm Sampson, Scotland Yard.

May I come in?

What can I do for you,

Inspector?

What can you do for me,

Doctor? Very little, I'm afraid.

You and Radcliffe were great

friends, weren't you, Doctor?

We still are,

I'm happy to say.

Yes, Doctor, quite so.

The research on which you

and he were collaborating...

was interrupted

by the unfortunate, uh,

accident to Sir Michael,

shall we say?

And to carry on such important

work, a man like you...

wouldn't hesitate to

break the law, would you?

Suppose you come

to the point, Inspector.

I've been looking up the

file on your late brother.

That was nine years ago,

wasn't it?

Charming fellow...

and very ingenious.

He concocted a formula which included

a poisonous drug called duocane,

an extraction of

an East Indian herb...

that took the color

out of things.

Combined with other ingredients,

known only to himself,

it made the body transparent when

injected into the bloodstream.

Very ingenious.

He succeeded, didn't he,

in making himself invisible?

Really, you don't have to go through
