Mr. Powers:
How would you like to cover the biggest story in the world today? John Jones:
Give me and expense account and I'll cover anything. Mr. Powers:
I'll give you an expense account. John Jones:
Okay, What's the story? Mr. Powers:
Europe. John Jones:
Well, I'm afraid I'm not exactly equipped, sir, but I can do some reading up. Mr. Powers:
No no, no reading up. I like you just as you are, Mr. Jones. What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind. John Jones:
Foreign correspondent, huh? Mr. Powers:
No, reporter. I don't want correspondence, I want news

- You took us out of the sea.
- You're not sending anything from this ship.
00:00:03.658 --> 00:00:05.909
- That's final.
- You're absolutely right, Captain.
00:00:06.036 --> 00:00:08.037
We mustn't embarrass the United States government.
00:00:08.496 --> 00:00:09.913
Exactly. That's my point.
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.044
That's the story.
If you don't want me to print it, okay.
00:00:15.017 --> 00:00:17.063
- But you ought to hear it first.
- That's only fair.
00:00:21.801 --> 00:00:25.262
You know who the head of that movement was in London?
Stephen Fisher.
00:00:25.388 --> 00:00:29.058
What? You mean the man who ran the Universal Peace Party?
That's preposterous!
00:00:29.184 --> 00:00:32.186
Yes, the same Mr. Fisher
who was drowned a few hours ago.
00:00:32.312 --> 00:00:35.397
He was using the Peace Party
as a cover-up for spies and traitors.
00:00:35.523 --> 00:00:37.775
He was going to be arrested
and sent back to England.
00:00:37.901 --> 00:00:42.003
- Those are facts.
- I can't believe it. He was a friend of mine.
00:00:42.155 --> 00:00:45.741
The same Stephen Fisher who engineered
the kidnapping of Van Meer, the Dutch diplomat.
00:00:45.867 --> 00:00:48.041
- You don't expect anybody to believe that.
- It's the truth.
00:00:48.578 --> 00:00:50.496
- I refuse--
- Captain, wait a minute.
00:00:50.622 --> 00:00:54.375
This young lady should know whether my friend
is speaking the truth about Mr. Fisher.
00:00:54.501 --> 00:00:57.795
Yes, I ought to know.
Mr. Fisher was... my father.
00:00:57.921 --> 00:00:59.881
And I want the story printed.
00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:02.591
What's that?
00:01:02.717 --> 00:01:04.006
Oh, I guess that's my uncle.
00:01:06.004 --> 00:01:08.999
Hello? Oh, hello, Uncle.
How are you?
00:01:10.392 --> 00:01:13.001
How's Aunt Sadie? I'm all right, thanks.
00:01:13.077 --> 00:01:17.999
We had a little accident,
but I can't tell you about it now.
