:13:14
Coincidence can be terrible.
:13:17
These robberies all bear your mark
but you claim to be innocent.
:13:22
i do more than claim. i insist!
:13:27
i can't understand how this thief
can imitate me so perfectly.
:13:31
it's someone who knew my technique,
maybe somebody in the police.
:13:39
He picks perfect victims
and the right stones.
:13:43
Goes up walls, over roofs, leaves
no clue and disappears in the night.
:13:48
Just like John Robie.
:13:50
- You don't believe me!
- You're as nervous as a cat.
:13:53
if somebody caught this imitator,
we'd all be off the hook.
:13:57
Surely.
:13:59
The police are chasing the wrong man.
Someone's got to chase the right one.
:14:03
- One day he'll make a mistake.
- There's only one answer.
:14:07
i've got to catch
this imitator myself.
:14:11
You couldn't do more than the police.
:14:13
But i could, and i'm the only one who
could, because i can anticipate him,
:14:18
figure out his next move and catch
him with his hand in the jewel case.
:14:23
Nobody will believe what you say.
:14:26
Who believes me now?
The biggest problem is time.
:14:30
i've got to hit him
before he hears i'm after him.
:14:33
i need better information, the kind
that takes months to dig out.
:14:37
like who has jewels to be stolen?
:14:40
Yeah. Where they live, where they
keep the stones, how much they drink.
:14:45
Whether they have dogs,
guns, servants, insurance.
:14:48
For old times' sakes,
perhaps i can help you.
:14:53
- What have you got?
- You made me remember something.
:14:56
Two days ago, a man came here.
:14:59
- i did not like him.
- Why not?
