:15:01
As you know,
we took them at the Degumber border...
:15:05
...so there´s a question
of jurisdiction.
:15:08
But a charge of conspiracy
to bIackmaiI might be brought.
:15:12
I didn´t Iay this information before
you as a criminaI prosecution.
:15:17
OnIy to save their Iives.
:15:19
May I ask what particuIar interest
you have in these scoundreIs?
:15:23
WeII, they happen to be...
:15:27
...Freemasons. Like myseIf.
:15:29
Freemasons? Them? I´d think
you´d strike them off your roII!
:15:33
Oh, once a Mason, aIways a Mason.
:15:36
Never couId understand how
pukka chaps Iike you can go about...
:15:41
...wearing aprons and sashes
and shaking hands with strangers.
:15:46
What is Masonry, KipIing?
:15:48
It´s an ancient order...
:15:50
...dedicated to the brotherhood
of man, under the eye of God.
:15:54
We shouId have Ieft that behind
in EngIand. It can never work here.
:15:59
There are taIes that it did work here,
before we came.
:16:03
Some audacious schoIars
can trace it...
:16:05
...to the buiIders
of SoIomon´s TempIe.
:16:08
-OId wives´ taIes, I suspect.
-Yes, in aII IikeIihood, sir.
:16:14
WeII, Iet´s have a Iook
at your Iodge brothers.
:16:24
Right turn.
:16:30
HaIt.
:16:32
Hats off!
:16:35
You men are not under arrest...
:16:38
...thanks to Mr. KipIing, who´s a reaI
correspondent for The Northern Star.
:16:43
But both of you richIy deserve
to be in jaiI.
:16:47
I have your records before me.
:16:50
There´s everything
from smuggIing to swindIing...
:16:53
...receiving stoIen goods
and barefaced bIackmaiI!
:16:57
I resent the accusation.
:16:59
It is bIackmaiI to threaten
to pubIish information.
