it frightens me.

But if that was their intention,

they certainly haven't succeeded.

If we work day and night,

get the apparatus in order,

achieve another perfect projection,

we can convince everyone,

including Blanchard.

Can I help?

Well, I could always do with a mate.

Lembach is staying in

London another few days.

Arrangements are being made

for me to have dinner with him

at Blanchard's house.

Well then you'll be

able to convince him.

Yes but someone seems to

be trying to prevent me.

Paul, that's the voice of despair.

I'm sure we can get it in order again.

Do you think so?

Yes, I do.

If I stand here talking,

I'll never even get started.

Pat.

I wish I could be fully sure I trust him.

Why shouldn't you?

You're the only one I

have faith in now, Pat.

Don't desert me.

What do you mean?

He's paid by the foundation, not by me.

Pat, I've been watching both of you.

Be very careful before you go too far.

Paul, you're tired.

I think you ought to go home and rest.

I'll call you as soon as he's ready.

No.

I have to be sure that I'm ready.

Why?

What do you have in mind?

An idea.

Nothing more.

But I have succeeded!

My dear Paul,

this is neither the time

nor the place to argue.

Now we sit comfortably,

digesting Dr. Blanchard's

excellent dinner.

I am not arguing.

I am stating facts.

I have only to call my two

assistants who are waiting.

I can arrange a

demonstration tonight, now!

Steiner.

You are behaving inexcusably.

You were only invited

because Professor Lembach

wanted to meet you again

before returning to Geneva.

This is unfair.

My demonstration was ruined.

Demonstrations do go wrong, Paul.

I do not hold it against you.

But I can not remain in London.

I'm needed in Geneva.

My demonstration was sabotaged.

Nonsense.

It's true.

I have evidence.

This is my evidence.

It doesn't take a technical

mind to see the acid burns

on the ends of the connections.

If there had been sabotage,

Dr. Mitchel would've told me.

At my request, he did not.

Come with me and see for yourself!

Steiner!

I had no intention of telling you tonight,

but now you are forcing me.

Only this morning, my committee decided

they've gone far enough.

Your experiment will be abandoned.

Tomorrow you will start

dismantling your laboratory

to make room for another

and more urgent project.

I can not accept your decision.

It's monstrous.

I've achieved success.

You can not deny me my demonstration!

You have no choice.

How long will you gentlemen be here?

Some time, why?

Then I will give you

evidence that will force you

to reclaim my discovery.

I can not allow my friend to

leave in this state of mind.
