[00:01.34]Mrs Lacey explained that Ludders had forced her
[00:03.39]to lie but she knew where he was,
[00:05.73]in an old, disused gold mine not far
[00:07.89]from the lake.
[00:09.41]They drove to the mine and the sheriff
[00:11.19]and Evans got out of the car
[00:12.48]and walked towards it.
[00:13.84]Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
[00:15.61]It was Ludders holding a manchine gun.

[00:18.12]Evans accused Ludders of bringing
[00:20.01]forged dollars into the US from Mexico,
[00:22.24]on behalf of the Nazi¹ government in Germany.
[00:24.43]He explained that the idea was to flood America
[00:26.87]with false dollars
[00:28.36]and ruin the country's economy.
[00:31.04]Ludders admitted that what Evans siad was true.
[00:34.09]He said he had made a big mistake
[00:35.69]in not killing² Mrs Lacey.
[00:37.87]He would never be forgiven by his bosses
[00:40.23]because he had been caught by a local sheriff
[00:42.56]and a private detective.

[00:44.54]Ludders took the machine gun.
[00:46.46]Both Evans and the sheriff thought this
[00:48.03]was the end.
[00:49.78]But Ludders pointed³ it at himself,
[00:51.68]shouted 'Heil Hitler!' and fired.
[00:54.97]The little Japanese gunman ran off
[00:56.74]into the woods.

[00:59.13]Andy came in from the car after
[01:00.59]hearing the shooting.
[01:02.36]The sheriff, a solid heavy man,
[01:04.36]like a rock, spoke⁴.
[01:06.35]'A night like this,' he said,
[01:08.64]'and it's got to be full of death.'
