is caught cop because he brought along pistol to get him out of the jam instead it got him into watch it happened this way Steve was feeling romantic when he left Franks and he had a date there was an embrace and the girl's hand accidentally touched a pistol that Steve carried in the small of his back now the small of the bank may be a good place to hide a pistol but not in a tight squeeze yes Steve had a date with a girl now he's got a date with a secret police well Steve this is it this is where Frank's handiwork gets the acid test all right strip quickly please the light no smoking pick that cigarette up now give it to me don't try that again you're not the first to try to burn a message in a cigarette now get your clothes off if you could only get out of this room for a minute Steve one minute to rip off that phony callus and destroy the belt one minute maybe two that's all you'd need try and think of something Steve say a month ago the table before we get ominous the president will be granted no requests until after the search tough luck but you see the enemy knows the more important a piece of evidence is to you the more important it is to them and they don't want that evidence flushed down the toilet still think you have a chance Steve yeah I still had a chance Frank did a good job poor Steve you're in for a blow you're going to find that in enemy area when a man's under definite suspicion searches are thorough and complete and when a man tips his hand as you did carrying a concealed weapon they become bloodless autopsies they began at the top of your head it's no exaggeration to say not a hair is left unturned ha [Music] sit down they probably knows they pry into your ears your mouth gets special attention good investigators know that teeth make good hiding places and they're as efficient as a dentist tailing a cavity later if they're still suspecting they may remove your fillings and bridgework to you your eyes are a priceless possession to the investigator they're nothing more than highly suspect areas for hidden messages your entire body is scrutinized inch by inch fingernails skin enable above all the private parts are carefully inspected that's all put on the towel they're getting warm Steve our friend here isn't a little perturbed about his feet it might be wise to show as much concern for this region as he shows by its own nervously biting his lip well Steve if you'll pardon a cruel joke you really put your foot in at that time we should have known that if you don't watch your reactions the enemy will and attitude consistent with your cover indignation resigned dignity or willing collaboration might have saved you but here you are a courier already out of a job and the clothes search just beginning when it comes to clothes and personal effects investigators take nothing for granted they begin on the premise that every item contains a message and carry on from there they begin at the top Steve and work down or are you familiar with that procedure by now sweat Dan's hat bands linings are studied and ripped out if necessary a coat gets a going-over that would make its tailor squirm the lining shoulder padding seams and pockets are checked and double-checked labels come off buttons are examined shirts and underwear get the ultraviolet ray treatment for invisible laundry marks sewing is checked against the possibility of writing coded messages on thread shoes or potential gold mines of evidence gold mine soon assayed the space between the sole the hollows of the heels the canvas lining under the tongue and the shoelace tips are all searched there Steve the places for concealment were infinite but the investigators were infinitely patient and how about your effect Steve will they stand up as well as your clothes again each article is considered suspicious until its innocence has been proved when the naked eye fails magnifying glasses and microscopes take over searching for pin pricks and markings containing coded messages no area is too small or too insignificant for the investigators attention money is carefully inventoried and a note is made on the denomination date type and serial number of the bills your number is up to de Steve thanks to this detail francs may be up tomorrow bills are then soaked in boiling water to separate the layers and expose possible hidden information when the Mayan suspects chemicals can prove or disprove papers get the iodine fumes test for secret ink before the search is over everything including your body may get the same treatment we're gonna leave you for a while you'll get cold put these on orderly yes sir as the dossier and the prison have been assembled yet yes sir good the capital record all of its actions during this period yes sir we have a complete transcript the prisoners action since the end of the room I want all of those items thoroughly checked and special attention given that felt very good sir lieutenant splendid I knew we'd find something good work fans so you thought it was easy carrying a message a Steve not with this enemy it takes more than courage and confidence to operate in enemy area it takes cover cover which you
