Short filmTranscript
00:00:00The following footage is from a recording of the scene in which the victim was shot.
00:00:24I'm going to try to hide it.
00:00:25Yes, Mr. Cameron.
00:00:31Mr. Keller wants this passed to London.
00:00:33Okay.
00:01:00Here you are, sir.
00:01:02Careful, the coffee is very hot.
00:01:06Thank you.
00:01:28Excuse me.
00:01:30Thank you.
00:02:01Thank you.
00:02:27This is Edmund, Captain.
00:02:28Mr. Keller would like to fly as low as possible over the island.
00:02:58Thank you.
00:03:28Thank you.
00:03:29Thank you.
00:03:59She whispers, oh, such pretty lies
00:04:05Don't believe her
00:04:08Or when you look into her eyes
00:04:14Love just isn't there
00:04:17Brother, beware
00:04:20Take care, my brother, take care
00:04:23For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
00:04:34The smile that made a dream begin
00:04:39Clouds your vision
00:04:42It's just the shadow of a dream
00:04:48That you're living in
00:04:51She never cared
00:04:54Beware, my brother, beware
00:04:58For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
00:05:08By walking streets you've never known
00:05:13When the night comes
00:05:16Sitting in places that you go
00:05:22Hoping she'll be there
00:05:25Brother, beware
00:05:28Take care, my brother, take care
00:05:32For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
00:05:41...far-reaching effects, both for your own interests and internationally.
00:05:45This tape contains all the information I have on the subject.
00:05:48I know you'll recognise the urgency and act on it immediately.
00:05:52I'd like to have seen you myself, but it's imperative that I stay here.
00:05:56Good luck, Hugh.
00:06:11Good morning.
00:06:12Good morning. Lovely day, isn't it?
00:06:15Are you Mr. Wingard?
00:06:17Yes.
00:06:18Great.
00:06:25Silly, Mr. Wingard. Very silly.
00:06:28I'm not a fool.
00:06:30I'm not a fool.
00:06:32I'm not a fool.
00:06:34I'm not a fool.
00:06:36I'm not a fool.
00:06:38Silly, Mr. Wingard. Very silly.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:45Oh, poor Mr. Wingard.
00:07:08Mr. Wingard.
00:07:39Oh, no.
00:08:01Mr. Drummond.
00:08:02Yes?
00:08:03You wanted on the phone.
00:08:05No.
00:08:07Excuse me.
00:08:15You, Drummond, can you have a call for me?
00:08:18Hello, John. Don't you ever take a day off?
00:08:23About half an hour, then?
00:08:26Yeah. All right, bye now.
00:08:29I say, Drummond,
00:08:31doesn't your group at Lloyd's insure most of the Keller organisation?
00:08:36It's nasty business.
00:08:38It's going to cost us a great deal of money.
00:08:42Well, it may sound ghoulish,
00:08:45but as it happens, it's going to make us a great deal of money.
00:08:48Venetian Oil is almost certain to pick up Keller's concessions now.
00:08:52We've been after them for months, but Keller's always stood in our way.
00:08:56What is it, Peggy?
00:08:58Time for your medicine.
00:09:00Can I get you a drink, Mr Drummond?
00:09:03Yes, have a drink.
00:09:05I think I'll have one too.
00:09:07No, Sir John.
00:09:09Mr Drummond?
00:09:12Later, perhaps.
00:09:14Very well.
00:09:16You're wasting your time.
00:09:18Peggy's a very well brought up girl.
00:09:20Her father's a bishop.
00:09:22But in spite of her, I'm going to have a drink.
00:09:24They tell me you knew a fellow named David Wingard.
00:09:28Yes, I still do.
00:09:30Not any more. He's dead.
00:09:32Good heavens.
00:09:33How?
00:09:35Killed in a shooting accident.
00:09:37That doesn't sound like Wingard.
00:09:39He was a particularly careful man, especially about guns.
00:09:42This was a harpoon gun.
00:09:44He was skin diving.
00:09:46Oh, now I know there's something fishy.
00:09:49He couldn't swim.
00:09:51What you've just told me confirms my own suspicions.
00:09:54Wingard worked for me, you know.
00:09:57Exploratory work on oil fields.
00:09:59Two days ago, I got this cable from him.
00:10:01Imperative contact Henry Keller
00:10:04immediately matter life and death.
00:10:06Cable whereabouts?
00:10:08Wingard.
00:10:10Did you contact him?
00:10:12Ever tried to contact a man like Keller?
00:10:14Ran his whole damn shooting match from that plane.
00:10:16I tried, but couldn't.
00:10:18Next thing I hear is this.
00:10:20And you think that Wingard knew?
00:10:23Well, he must have known something.
00:10:26What do you want me to do about it?
00:10:28Well, you're involved in two ways.
00:10:29First, the insurance on Keller's plane.
00:10:31Second, your friendship with Wingard.
00:10:34I'd appreciate it if you could find out what happened.
00:10:37Well, I'll try.
00:10:39Can I keep this?
00:10:41It's time for the Phoenician board meeting, Sir John.
00:10:43Right.
00:10:45It's a sick world, Hugh.
00:10:47Keller's dead.
00:10:49And because of it, do you know what I'll find
00:10:51around the Phoenician board table this morning?
00:10:53Nothing but a lot of happy, smiling faces.
00:10:56Please, gentlemen.
00:10:58Sir John?
00:11:00I say it's an obligation.
00:11:02No matter what has happened,
00:11:04the Phoenician is committed to pay,
00:11:07and we shall have to do so.
00:11:09A million pounds?
00:11:11You'd seriously pay out a million pounds
00:11:13of the shareholders' money when you don't have to?
00:11:15They'd boot you out of the next meeting if you did.
00:11:18And quite right to.
00:11:20A million pounds was the figure agreed, Bridgnore.
00:11:22And anyway, why all the fuss?
00:11:24You know what the Samarkand oil concession means to us.
00:11:27Exactly.
00:11:29If we don't clear six million net profit
00:11:31in the first 18 months, I'll resign.
00:11:33And about time, too.
00:11:35Now, let's look at this situation realistically, shall we?
00:11:38Three months ago,
00:11:40we, Phoenician Oil,
00:11:42were approached by the representative
00:11:44of an unknown private party
00:11:46who suggested that Keller's objection
00:11:48to merging his oil fields with ours
00:11:49could be overcome inside six months
00:11:51in exchange for a fee of one million pounds.
00:11:54Now, Keller's dead.
00:11:56The merger will go through,
00:11:58and it needn't cost us a cent.
00:12:00And yet, two of our directors
00:12:02still want to pay out this million.
00:12:04Why?
00:12:06Because we have a contract.
00:12:08And when I make a contract, I stick to it.
00:12:10Rubbish.
00:12:12Yes?
00:12:14The young lady's here to see you now, sir.
00:12:16Thank you.
00:12:17Gentlemen, the other party's representative is here.
00:12:20Good. Let's get on with it.
00:12:23Good morning, Miss Aikman.
00:12:25Good morning.
00:12:27We have just been discussing
00:12:29what could be done about your proposition.
00:12:31But there's nothing to discuss, I'm sure.
00:12:33Mr. Keller no longer opposes the merger.
00:12:35Now you merely have to pay our fee.
00:12:37Thank you.
00:12:39We don't have to pay a cent.
00:12:41He didn't do anything.
00:12:43Keller's death was an act of God.
00:12:45Our contract did not call on us
00:12:47to do anything, gentlemen,
00:12:49except prove that Mr. Keller's opposition
00:12:51would be withdrawn before a specified date.
00:12:54Well, it has been withdrawn.
00:12:57She's absolutely right, you know.
00:12:59No reason whatsoever why we should take...
00:13:02Gentlemen, I think we should take a vote.
00:13:05Those who feel that we are obligated to pay this fee
00:13:08should signify in the usual way.
00:13:10Those in favor, a payment.
00:13:11Thank you. Four.
00:13:13Those against.
00:13:16Five.
00:13:18I also am in favor of paying.
00:13:21You see, Miss Aikman, we're deadlocked.
00:13:24Very well, then.
00:13:26I shall convey a decision to my principal.
00:13:29And perhaps we can meet again tomorrow.
00:13:32Yes, as a good lass.
00:13:34And why not have him come up here himself?
00:13:36We'd all like to meet him.
00:13:38I'm afraid that would be...
00:13:39impossible.
00:13:41Good day.
00:13:43Thank you, Miss Aikman.
00:13:45Thank you.
00:13:48It's a rather little cracker, that one.
00:13:51Why can't we employ agents like her?
00:13:53Item five, gentlemen.
00:14:10Hi, Uncle Hugh.
00:14:12You're supposed to be in America.
00:14:14Yeah, well, something came up.
00:14:16How was she like?
00:14:18Angry. So was her father.
00:14:20You're not thinking of staying, are you?
00:14:22Well, I live here, remember?
00:14:24Well, only when you're in London.
00:14:26So, I'm in London.
00:14:29And it's good to be home.
00:14:32You are pleased to see me.
00:14:34Well, well, well.
00:14:36It's good to see you.
00:14:37You are pleased to see me.
00:14:39Well, well, well.
00:14:41I mean, you haven't rented my room or anything, have you?
00:14:43That's a damn good idea.
00:14:45I wish I'd thought of it.
00:14:49It's good to see you again, Uncle Hugh.
00:14:51What have you been up to?
00:14:53Oh, this and that.
00:14:57That?
00:14:59Miss Ashenden, my nephew, Robert.
00:15:01How do you do?
00:15:03Hello, Miss Ashenden.
00:15:05Or may I call you...
00:15:08Hey, look, if this is business or something...
00:15:11We've finished.
00:15:13We have?
00:15:18Well, then, maybe I should take the lady home.
00:15:21That won't be necessary.
00:15:23Well, we can't have you walking the streets alone.
00:15:25I never do.
00:15:28Hugh is driving me, aren't you, darling?
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:38Good evening, sir.
00:16:00Welcome home and good evening,
00:16:02Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:16:04How did you get in?
00:16:09Who gave you this?
00:16:18What do you want?
00:16:22Think you can get round me?
00:16:24I'm not going to get round you.
00:16:26I'm not going to get round you.
00:16:28I'm not going to get round you.
00:16:30I'm not going to get round you.
00:16:32Think you can get round me, eh?
00:16:35Can't I?
00:16:38No.
00:16:43How very disappointing.
00:16:47And I thought I'd...
00:16:51found a real man in you,
00:16:53Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:17:01Wait a minute.
00:17:03There's no need to be hasty.
00:17:09You could always try persuading me.
00:17:14Do you think I...
00:17:18could succeed?
00:17:22Try.
00:17:31Try.
00:17:47Nails are sharp.
00:18:01Penelope!
00:18:05Mr. Bridgenorth?
00:18:08It could have been very nice, Mr. Bridgenorth,
00:18:11but now you're paralyzed.
00:18:13You can see and you can hear
00:18:15and you can feel,
00:18:17but you can't move and you can't talk.
00:18:20Oh, poor Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:18:22You see, it is a nasty old drug she carries in her ring.
00:18:26It only lasts just a few minutes
00:18:28and doesn't leave any traces at all.
00:18:32Isn't that clever?
00:18:34The police will think you've committed suicide.
00:18:37Penelope, take his feet.
00:19:02Bye-bye, Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:19:06Well, I have had men fall for me before,
00:19:09but never like this.
00:19:32Good morning, Miss Eggman.
00:19:34Good morning.
00:19:36Well, now, I have conveyed the news
00:19:38of your deadlock to my principal,
00:19:40but unfortunately he does insist
00:19:42that the contract must be honored and his fee paid.
00:19:45Oh, I see that our main objector is not here today.
00:19:50Well, in that case,
00:19:52perhaps, gentlemen, you would care to vote again?
00:19:55I really don't think it's as simple as that.
00:19:58Pay the girl.
00:19:59Pay the girl.
00:20:01Am I to take that as a proposal?
00:20:03Sir John's right.
00:20:05Do pay her before someone else
00:20:07falls from a 15-story building.
00:20:10I think we might strike
00:20:12Mr. Weston's last remark from the record.
00:20:15Those in favor of paying?
00:20:22You may tell your principal
00:20:24the money will be paid as per contract.
00:20:27Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:20:29Thank you.
00:21:00Senor Drummond, sir.
00:21:04You are Senor Drummond?
00:21:06Yes, who are you?
00:21:08Carlogio, sir.
00:21:10I was Senor Wingard's servant.
00:21:13You may come inside.
00:21:15Would you like a drink?
00:21:19I was sorry to hear about Senor Wingard.
00:21:22Oh, you know?
00:21:24Who tell you?
00:21:26Sir John Bledlow had a cave-in with him.
00:21:27Sir John Bledlow had a cable
00:21:29from the police at Castellumali.
00:21:31The police are no good.
00:21:33When I tell them about the tape recording,
00:21:35they just laugh.
00:21:37What tape recording?
00:21:39All that morning,
00:21:41Senor Wingard talk into his tape machine.
00:21:43It's very important, he says.
00:21:45I come back from the market and find him dead.
00:21:47But there is no tape.
00:21:49There is only this.
00:21:53Nothing else?
00:21:55When the tape was pulled from the machine,
00:21:57this little piece was torn off.
00:22:00And you brought these things to me
00:22:02because of this address?
00:22:04Si, senor.
00:22:06The whole tape was to come to you.
00:22:08It was arranged by Senor Wingard before he died.
00:22:10Carlogio, he said to me,
00:22:12I want you to go to London
00:22:14with a very important package for Senor Drummond.
00:22:16You make sure you give it to him and nobody else.
00:22:18Now he's murdered
00:22:20and the tape that was the package is gone.
00:22:22But still I come.
00:22:28...the ruler and the act...
00:22:34...the ruler and the act...
00:22:38There's not enough here to make any sense.
00:22:42I may want to fly back with you,
00:22:44see if I can find out what's going on.
00:22:47Where are you staying?
00:22:49I stay with my cousin.
00:22:51Here is his address, in Camden Town.
00:22:53You want me to drive you?
00:22:55Gracias, is no need, I meet him.
00:22:57Thank you, Carlogio.
00:23:03...the ruler and the act...
00:23:09...the ruler and the act...
00:23:19Oh, excuse me, please.
00:23:21Could you direct me to Montpelier Square?
00:23:23I'm sorry, I'm a stranger.
00:23:28...the ruler and the act...
00:23:40Funny little man,
00:23:42to come all this way.
00:23:44Yeah, and our job is to find out why.
00:23:47We'll find out.
00:23:50Won't we, little man?
00:23:53Do you have to play around with everything?
00:23:55Really, now?
00:23:57Yeah.
00:24:06...the ruler and the act...
00:24:10...the ruler and the act...
00:24:13What's an act?
00:24:15I don't know.
00:24:17A ruler sounds indigestible enough, but an act?
00:24:19Who ate them?
00:24:21Shut up, will you?
00:24:24Uncle Hugh, for goodness sake,
00:24:25stop calling me uncle.
00:24:27Hugh, old man.
00:24:29Hugh is sufficient.
00:24:31Hey, I was just wondering,
00:24:33are you going to be in tonight?
00:24:35Why?
00:24:36Just wondering.
00:24:38Entertaining?
00:24:39Kind of.
00:24:40What kind of?
00:24:41You know.
00:24:43I'm simply trying to find out
00:24:45whether I should put the breakables away or not.
00:24:47Last time you had a party,
00:24:49it cost me a great deal of money.
00:24:51Hey, no nothing like that.
00:24:53No large young men
00:24:55try and get around before daylight.
00:24:57I don't want the place to get a bad name.
00:25:04Who taught you to play?
00:25:06Chess.
00:25:09Sir John.
00:25:11Jack.
00:25:14He's a good teacher.
00:25:16He's too careful.
00:25:18Not bold enough in attack?
00:25:20My boldness is a refinement of my own.
00:25:22Well, it's your chance.
00:25:25Check.
00:25:27Ah, a bad move.
00:25:29Good evening, Mr. Drummond
00:25:31and Miss Ashenden.
00:25:33Good evening, Mr. Weston.
00:25:35Does Sir John know that you're playing games
00:25:37with Mr. Drummond?
00:25:39I'm sure he will in the morning.
00:25:41Ah, not from me, dear lady.
00:25:43Not from me.
00:25:45Check.
00:25:47I'm sorry to hear about Bridge North.
00:25:49Yes, it was a good idea.
00:25:50Bridge North.
00:25:52Yes, it was most unfortunate.
00:25:54May I?
00:25:56Do.
00:25:58Did you know him well?
00:26:00Only by reputation.
00:26:02Excuse me, sir.
00:26:04Your guest is here.
00:26:06Perhaps we can finish at another time.
00:26:08Excuse me.
00:26:10No, my dear.
00:26:12Shall we play another game?
00:26:14Chess.
00:26:16I'll take her.
00:26:18Yours or mine?
00:26:20Yours.
00:26:25You lay a finger on me, Robert Drummond,
00:26:28and I'll bite it off.
00:26:30Now, Brenda, stop playing hard to get.
00:26:32I am hard to get.
00:26:35But it's worth the effort.
00:26:42I'd like another drink, please.
00:26:46I do all sorts of things when I'm tired.
00:26:51Specially bottled for Hugh Drummond, Esquire.
00:26:56I'd like to meet your uncle.
00:26:58No, you wouldn't.
00:27:00He's old.
00:27:02But I like older men.
00:27:04Not that old.
00:27:06I bet your uncle doesn't behave like this.
00:27:09Oh, yes, he does.
00:27:12Really?
00:27:14Him being so old, too.
00:27:16He's got a good memory.
00:27:20Now, Brenda.
00:27:32The door.
00:27:34I know.
00:27:36Aren't you going to answer it?
00:27:38They'll go away.
00:27:41I'll go.
00:27:43Might be someone fascinating.
00:27:45We could have a party.
00:27:51Good evening.
00:27:54Does Mr. Drummond live here?
00:27:56He does.
00:27:58I have a package for him.
00:28:02Perhaps you'd be kind enough to see he gets it.
00:28:05Oh, of course.
00:28:08Thank you.
00:28:10Good night.
00:28:12Good night.
00:28:20Satisfied?
00:28:22It's for you.
00:28:29Who's sending me cigars?
00:28:36It's for my uncle.
00:28:39Can I have one?
00:28:41A cigar.
00:28:43Of course not.
00:28:45Why shouldn't women smoke cigars?
00:28:48It's not ladylike.
00:28:51They make me feel sexy.
00:29:14You look like a fallen woman.
00:29:16I haven't fallen yet.
00:29:21Let me give you a push.
00:29:31Oh, no, I promised to stay out this evening,
00:29:33but you didn't need to shoot at me.
00:29:35It was her cigar.
00:29:41Catch your girlfriend, Robert.
00:29:43I think she's going to faint.
00:29:47Hey, Brenda.
00:29:49Hey, Brenda.
00:29:51Brenda.
00:29:53What shall I do with her?
00:29:55Put her on the bed and loosen her...
00:29:57Put her on the bed.
00:29:59Your bed.
00:30:01Smoke too much, these young girls.
00:30:05Hello?
00:30:07This is Hugh Drummond.
00:30:09I'd like to see Mr. Boxer.
00:30:11Tonight.
00:30:14All right, I'm on my way.
00:30:18All right.
00:30:48Come on.
00:31:19To the back.
00:31:23Just a little more.
00:31:25Yes, more.
00:31:34Yes?
00:31:36Mr. Drummond is here.
00:31:38Send him in.
00:31:40Shoot, shoot.
00:31:42Come in, Hugh.
00:31:44Sit down. Nice to see you.
00:31:46Hello, Boxer.
00:31:48I never did like those tourist beaches.
00:31:50Oh.
00:31:53There.
00:31:55Is that better?
00:31:57Instant vacations, eh?
00:32:03I'm sorry.
00:32:05I'm sorry.
00:32:07I'm sorry.
00:32:09I'm sorry.
00:32:11Only thought I can get.
00:32:13I've been officially dead for three years.
00:32:15Want a drink?
00:32:16You're a dead man. You're making an awful lot of money.
00:32:18Well, even dead men have to live.
00:32:20Getting old, though.
00:32:22Only the clean trade interests me these days.
00:32:24No more drugs or girls.
00:32:26A bank here, a train there.
00:32:28All good, clean fun. And who misses it?
00:32:30The insurance companies.
00:32:32Not yours, though. Never yours.
00:32:34What's on your mind?
00:32:36Old-fashioned murder.
00:32:38Who? When?
00:32:39Relax. I don't want anybody killed.
00:32:41I want to find a killer.
00:32:43Who's been killed?
00:32:45Killer.
00:32:47A chap called Henry Bridgenorth and David Wingard.
00:32:50David?
00:32:52What, the David we knew in the army?
00:32:54And tonight,
00:32:56I received a box of cigars.
00:32:59A two-two slug inside each one of them
00:33:01and a very neat firing mechanism.
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:06Doesn't ring a bell.
00:33:07I'll have to check.
00:33:09I've got Hugh Drummond with me.
00:33:11We're old buddies. Anything I have is his.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:15He wants to know who killed a mutual friend,
00:33:17David Wingard, old Henry Keller,
00:33:19and a Mr.
00:33:21Bridgenorth.
00:33:23Yeah, also, who sent him a box of cigars, loaded ones?
00:33:25Yes, sir.
00:33:27We keep up-to-date records on everything.
00:33:29We have to.
00:33:31Chicago, New York, Beirut, Hong Kong.
00:33:33Yeah, I've even got my own private hot wire to Moscow.
00:33:35And what we haven't got on file,
00:33:37we can get by teletype the same day.
00:33:39Korea?
00:33:41You're a sentimentalist, Boxer.
00:33:43You know, digging that tunnel
00:33:45was the only honest work I ever did in my life.
00:33:47You were a lousy escaper.
00:33:49We escaped, didn't we?
00:33:52Yeah?
00:33:54We have records of Keller and Bridgenorth.
00:33:56Both accidents, it says here.
00:33:58Nothing on Wingard at all.
00:34:00The cigars were bought from the Old Gate bomb specialist
00:34:02by a bird.
00:34:03No information on the bird,
00:34:05except she was a looker.
00:34:07That's it, Huey boy.
00:34:09I'll call you if I hear any more.
00:34:11You know, it sounds to me
00:34:13as if you're up against a lone wolf,
00:34:15and that can be rough.
00:34:17Well, thanks a lot.
00:34:19And stay alive, huh?
00:34:21You too, Huey boy.
00:34:23Oh, ask the young lady
00:34:25to come down again, will you?
00:34:30The young lady.
00:34:32I think we're up to the back, darling.
00:34:35That's it.
00:35:01Come on.
00:35:31Oh!
00:35:49Oh!
00:36:02What's the matter?
00:36:04Aren't the odds good enough for you anymore?
00:36:31Oh!
00:36:45I want a word with you, my friend.
00:36:47You're breaking me legs!
00:36:49Yeah, that's exactly what I intend to do.
00:36:51Now, let me out! Let me out!
00:36:53Who sent you?
00:36:56A woman, some woman!
00:36:58She paid us!
00:36:59She told us to kill you
00:37:01and make you look like a mugging!
00:37:03What woman?
00:37:05I never saw her before!
00:37:07She contacted me and I got hold of the others!
00:37:09She never told us nothing about it!
00:37:11She just paid us and told us what to do!
00:37:13I think I'll break your legs anyway.
00:37:15This girl is all I know!
00:37:17I never saw her before!
00:37:19Better look after your friend.
00:37:21I think his feet are killing him.
00:37:32What are you doing there?
00:37:34Ah.
00:37:37Well, she decided she didn't want to go home.
00:37:40And she didn't want to...
00:37:42You know what?
00:37:44I don't know.
00:37:45And she didn't want to...
00:37:47Well, I like sleeping on the couch.
00:37:50Well, how is she?
00:37:52Oh, she's fine.
00:37:54Asleep.
00:37:56No, I'm not.
00:37:59Is this your uncle, Robert?
00:38:01Uncle Hugh.
00:38:03This is Brenda.
00:38:05Hello, Brenda.
00:38:07Hello, Uncle Hugh.
00:38:09How are you feeling?
00:38:11I feel fine now.
00:38:13Can I have a drink?
00:38:16Well, good night, Uncle.
00:38:18Good night, Robert.
00:38:25She's upset.
00:38:27Well, that makes two of you.
00:38:30Good night.
00:38:41Hank!
00:38:45I forgot a glass.
00:38:47I'll get you one.
00:38:51Thank you.
00:38:54Well, good night.
00:38:58Good night.
00:39:09I'm terribly sorry,
00:39:11but there doesn't seem to be a key to this door.
00:39:13I think I ought to...
00:39:15Why don't you try putting the chair under the handle?
00:39:18Oh, all right.
00:39:20Good night.
00:39:30I can't seem to fix this chair.
00:39:33Would you like me to do it for you?
00:39:35Would you?
00:39:37With pleasure.
00:39:43Good night.
00:40:05Good morning.
00:40:07Pretty sneaky of her creeping off like that in the middle of the night.
00:40:11Well, it's understandable.
00:40:13She had a rough night, you know.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:19Uh, Hugh, old man.
00:40:21Uh, Hugh.
00:40:23I, uh...
00:40:25No, I'm not going out tonight.
00:40:27You'll have to let your urges run wild somewhere else.
00:40:30No, it's not that.
00:40:32Uh, you couldn't loan me a hundred quid, could you?
00:40:34No.
00:40:36What for?
00:40:38Well, I wanted to buy some warm-weather clothes.
00:40:40I've got an invitation.
00:40:42Where to?
00:40:44Well, this friend of mine has got a yacht,
00:40:46and he's cruising all around the Mediterranean.
00:40:48You mean you won't be leaving?
00:40:50I'm afraid so. I'm sorry.
00:40:52I'm going to leave this blank.
00:40:54Just fill it in for whatever you want.
00:40:56Oh, thank you.
00:40:58I'll pay you back, of course.
00:41:00Anytime.
00:41:02Where's the best place to go?
00:41:04Oh, is Pogo going to be proud of me?
00:41:06Who's Pogo?
00:41:08He's the guy with the yacht.
00:41:10See ya.
00:41:16Drummond?
00:41:18Hello, John.
00:41:20Where, the Pan-Arabian oil building?
00:41:23All right, I'll be there.
00:41:25Bye.
00:41:35Oh!
00:41:37Hey, why don't you look where you're...
00:41:43Well, excuse me.
00:41:45Let me give you a hand.
00:41:47I'm terribly sorry.
00:41:49Oh, it's my fault. My fault.
00:41:51Thank you.
00:41:53Hey, is that yours or mine?
00:41:55It's mine.
00:41:57Oh, no, no, it's not.
00:41:59Hey, I got a great idea.
00:42:01My car's right here.
00:42:02Why don't we just lump everything in the back
00:42:04and go someplace where we can sort it out properly?
00:42:07What a lovely idea.
00:42:15My principal's proposal is a very simple one, gentlemen.
00:42:19Your company would like to acquire the oil rights in Akmata
00:42:22on a royalty basis.
00:42:24That is right.
00:42:26The new king, however, proposes to develop them himself,
00:42:28actually in competition with your interests in that area.
00:42:33My principal believes he can arrange for you
00:42:36to be granted the rights within three months,
00:42:40providing you pay him a fee of one million pounds.
00:42:46Miss Eggman?
00:42:48Thank you.
00:42:50My principal estimates the main Akmata field
00:42:52will yield a minimum of 90,000,
00:42:55and I repeat, 90,000 barrels a day.
00:42:58The first year's profits
00:42:59will not be less than 12 million pounds,
00:43:02with an expansion to adjacent fields.
00:43:04As I said before, gentlemen...
00:43:06Is it as hard as that to get a concession in Akmata?
00:43:08I would have said impossible.
00:43:10Every major company's after it,
00:43:12but the king is determined to work the fields himself.
00:43:14Well, how does her boss think
00:43:16he's going to get him to change his mind?
00:43:18Heaven knows. Short of bloodshed.
00:43:20Of course, if someone should assassinate the king...
00:43:23What did you say?
00:43:25I said if someone should assassinate the king.
00:43:27Assassinate the ruler?
00:43:29And the Akmata concession is yours.
00:43:32Assassinate the ruler and the Akmata concession.
00:43:37Eat the ruler and the Ak.
00:43:39What are you raving about?
00:43:42Sorry, John, I think I just solved a problem.
00:43:45Mr. Weston?
00:43:47Miss Eggman, may I ask what guarantee we have
00:43:50that your principal...
00:43:52Is that the Western on your board?
00:43:54She sits on half a dozen boards.
00:43:56She's a very good man.
00:43:57I can assume you're a very dead one.
00:43:59Tell me, how can I have a look at this Eggman character?
00:44:03Well, I should think the best way is to look through the door.
00:44:09As I've said before, gentlemen,
00:44:11the million pounds will only be payable
00:44:13if my principal is successful in getting you what you want.
00:44:16If he isn't, no fee.
00:44:18Thank you. That is all I have to say today.
00:44:21When does the meeting break up?
00:44:23Oh, any time now.
00:44:25Can you get Weston in here?
00:44:27It only remains for me to thank Miss Eggman
00:44:29for coming to us with this very interesting proposition
00:44:32and to say that it will get all our attention
00:44:35and we'll communicate with her when we have reached a decision.
00:44:38Will you excuse me?
00:44:48Well, John, what's it all about?
00:44:50Look, Weston, a little friendly advice.
00:44:52Stay clear of Eggman.
00:44:54What?
00:44:55If I were you, I'd choose my dinner companions
00:44:57rather more carefully.
00:44:59That is, unless you want to wind up
00:45:01with something more painful than indigestion.
00:45:06What the devil is he talking about?
00:45:19Taxi!
00:45:25Taxi!
00:45:56Oh, darling, it's me.
00:46:01You mustn't go to sleep, you know.
00:46:04We've so much to talk about.
00:46:07And to...
00:46:19Oh, I like you, you know.
00:46:22I like you.
00:46:23Oh, I like you, you know.
00:46:26And I would much rather be nice to you.
00:46:29But Eggman will be back soon
00:46:32and she will be absolutely livid if you haven't talked.
00:46:36So be a good boy, please.
00:46:40Tell me all about Carlo, Joe, and your uncle.
00:46:54Come on.
00:47:11That is a very untidy job, Penelope.
00:47:13Very untidy.
00:47:15Has he talked yet?
00:47:17He won't tell me anything.
00:47:19Of course not. Now get dressed, we have to leave.
00:47:21Oh, what a shame.
00:47:23We're getting to know each other.
00:47:25Get dressed, I said, Penelope.
00:47:27And I told you before not to wear my negligee.
00:47:30Oh, I didn't think you'd mind.
00:47:32I do mind.
00:47:46Hey, look, I'm sorry.
00:47:47I'm sorry.
00:48:04Now you have to hurry it up.
00:48:06We have one more job to do before we catch the plane.
00:48:10And that is mine, too.
00:48:12Oh, sorry.
00:48:14Penelope, one of these days your light-fingered habits
00:48:15are going to get you into deep trouble.
00:48:40Come on now, quick.
00:48:46Come on.
00:49:12I didn't know you went in for this kind of thing, Robert.
00:49:15Come on.
00:49:20Don't struggle, you'll choke yourself.
00:49:25That's a nasty burn.
00:49:27You really ought to learn how to control your girlfriends, you know.
00:49:35That was my foot, you know.
00:49:40That's interesting.
00:49:43That's a time clock, you know.
00:49:45That's a time clock.
00:49:50Beautiful night, huh?
00:49:56Here, let's have this off you.
00:49:59That's better.
00:50:01I don't think I'll ever forgive you for that.
00:50:04I'm asking gratitude for you.
00:50:06After I saved your life.
00:50:08You didn't.
00:50:10I died back there at five seconds to zero.
00:50:12You don't look too good.
00:50:13I'll drop you at the hospital
00:50:15and pick you up in half an hour.
00:50:17Where are you going?
00:50:19To see a chap called Weston
00:50:21when he gets himself killed.
00:50:31Mr. Weston, please, it's very urgent.
00:50:33I'm sorry, Mr. Weston's engaged.
00:50:35I say, that's very rude.
00:50:37Let them.
00:50:44No, stay there.
00:50:46Is this a way out?
00:50:48You'd better call the police.
00:51:09By the time I got downstairs,
00:51:11they'd disappeared, of course.
00:51:13They're pretty smooth operators, that's for sure.
00:51:15What happens now?
00:51:17I'll bet for you,
00:51:19then you'd better tell me how to get in touch
00:51:21with that friend of yours.
00:51:23Which friend?
00:51:25Banjo, whatever you call him.
00:51:27Pogo. What for?
00:51:29He can't have you gallivanting around the Mediterranean
00:51:31looking like that.
00:51:33He'll scare the girls to death.
00:51:35You can get in touch with him through the embassy.
00:51:37Which embassy?
00:51:39Acmata. Just say you have a message for King Fedra.
00:51:41Pogo?
00:51:43Where were you going to pick this yacht up?
00:51:45A place called Castellumali.
00:51:48That's where Wingard was killed.
00:51:51All right, my boy.
00:51:53Castellumali it is.
00:51:58Would you enter, please?
00:52:01You are fortunate, sir.
00:52:03Very, very, very fortunate.
00:52:06We are very fortunate.
00:52:10It was rented for three months,
00:52:11but the tenant had a slightly fatal accident.
00:52:14Most unfortunate for him,
00:52:16but most fortunate for you
00:52:18because this desirable residence is now empty.
00:52:21What about that desirable residence?
00:52:24Ah, the castello.
00:52:26Magnifico.
00:52:28It belonged to a Mr. Peterson.
00:52:30Yes, Carl Peterson.
00:52:32A very rich gentleman
00:52:34with many beautiful things.
00:52:36And the ladies,
00:52:38mamma mia.
00:52:39Mamma mia.
00:52:41The ladies up there in the castello
00:52:43are the most beautiful ladies
00:52:45I have ever seen.
00:52:48But on to business.
00:52:52You will see
00:52:54we are furnished in the grand style.
00:52:57Everything of the best
00:52:59and almost new.
00:53:03Now.
00:53:05Oh.
00:53:06Who did such a thing?
00:53:08And why?
00:53:10No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:12You can't stay here.
00:53:14I will find something anywhere.
00:53:16I like it here.
00:53:18I want to stay here.
00:53:20De molto buono.
00:53:22Magnifico.
00:53:24Now you find somebody to bring the bags up
00:53:26and somebody to clean up
00:53:28and don't worry, I'm eminently satisfied.
00:53:36Charming.
00:53:38Charming.
00:53:40I'm glad we're eminently satisfied.
00:53:47You recognize that?
00:53:49Ooh.
00:53:51Vividly.
00:53:53Penelope was here.
00:53:57What were they looking for?
00:53:59Well,
00:54:01if you'd stolen a very valuable tape recording,
00:54:03when you played it there was a piece missing.
00:54:04You'd want to find that piece, wouldn't you?
00:54:06Ah, ain't the ruler in the act?
00:54:08Right.
00:54:13It's a grim looking place, isn't it?
00:54:15Hmm, but interesting.
00:54:17Boy, you bet.
00:54:19All those beautiful girls?
00:54:21No, but whoever lives up there
00:54:23has been watching us through a telescope
00:54:25ever since we got here.
00:54:34Shhh.
00:55:05Hey, Robert!
00:55:08Hey.
00:55:10Ma che stai facendo?
00:55:12Ma stupido.
00:55:14On your feet, man.
00:55:16Salams are out of date.
00:55:18Ma chi mi paga per questo, eh?
00:55:23Ah, you remembered.
00:55:27Ah, you remembered.
00:55:29Ah, you remembered.
00:55:31Ah, you remembered.
00:55:32Ah, you remembered.
00:55:35Well, welcome aboard.
00:55:37Ma bruca.
00:55:39Boy, this king business has really gone to your head.
00:55:41Where's the harem?
00:55:43Oh, I didn't think there was a need for that.
00:55:45You didn't think what?
00:55:47Well, we managed all right
00:55:49without a harem in America, didn't we?
00:55:51Yes, we did, Pogo.
00:55:53Oh, excuse me.
00:55:55Pogo, this is my uncle Hugh Drummond.
00:55:57Hugh, Pogo.
00:55:59How do you do, Mr. Drummond?
00:56:00Robert's told me a great deal about you.
00:56:02Your company insures our new airline, doesn't it?
00:56:05That's right, sir.
00:56:07We've struck oil, Mr. Drummond.
00:56:09A big field.
00:56:11And all the oil companies in the world
00:56:13are chasing after me for a deal.
00:56:15But they're not going to get it.
00:56:17Over my dead body.
00:56:19Some people seem to be taking
00:56:21that last remark literally, sir.
00:56:23You mean it, don't you, Mr. Drummond?
00:56:25Yes, I do.
00:56:27I suppose it's possible.
00:56:28Eastern monarchs seem to have
00:56:30a pretty precarious existence.
00:56:32No point in shortening the odds there.
00:56:34No, there isn't.
00:56:36Are you talking generally or in particular?
00:56:39In particular.
00:56:41I see. When and where?
00:56:43I don't know that.
00:56:45Or how?
00:56:47That I don't know either.
00:56:49But if past experience is anything to go by,
00:56:51it'll be a well-contrived accident.
00:56:59Good afternoon.
00:57:01Mr. Drummond?
00:57:03Yes?
00:57:05Mr. Carl Peterson would be honoured
00:57:07if you'd have dinner with him
00:57:09at the castle this evening.
00:57:117.30?
00:57:13Tell Mr. Peterson I've been eligible.
00:57:15I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:17I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:19I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:21I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:23I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:25I'm afraid I can't.
00:57:26Tell Mr. Peterson I've been eligible.
00:57:36What about Popo's party?
00:57:38Well, I'll have to give it a miss.
00:57:40But you go and stick close to him, huh?
00:57:43With his travelling companions,
00:57:45that'll be a pleasure.
00:57:57You're Robert Drummond, aren't you?
00:57:59I am.
00:58:01We're friends of Popo's.
00:58:03He's giving a party.
00:58:05He sent us both to fetch you.
00:58:07Did he now?
00:58:09Yes, he did.
00:58:11I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:13I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:15I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:17I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:19I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:21I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:23I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:24He sent us both to fetch you.
00:58:26Did he now?
00:58:28Hey, you, I'm going to the party.
00:58:32Aren't you coming?
00:58:34No, I'm afraid not.
00:58:36Oh, please.
00:58:38No, I'll get my clothes wet.
00:58:40Let's go.
00:58:54I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:56I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:58I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:00I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:02I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:04I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:06I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:08I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:10I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:12I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:14I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:16I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:18I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:20I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:22I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:24I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:26I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:28I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:30I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:32I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:34I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:36I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:38I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:40I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:42I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:44I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:46I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:48I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:50I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:52I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:54I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:56I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:58I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:00I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:02I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:04I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:06I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:08I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:10I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:12I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:14I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:16I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:18I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:20I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:22I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:24I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:29Mr Drummond is here.
01:00:38Hello Drummond.
01:00:40I thought you would never get here.
01:00:43I would've been here sooner, but I stayed in London for your cremation.
01:00:47I'll return the compliment.
01:00:49I'll make a point of going to yours.
01:00:50Mitsuko says that you speak very good Japanese.
01:00:54You're a man of wide accomplishments, Drummond.
01:00:57And so are you, it seems, Weston.
01:00:59Ah, Peterson.
01:01:01Which is it?
01:01:02Peterson.
01:01:06Carl Peterson.
01:01:08Weston's dead, long live Peterson.
01:01:11By the way, who is dead?
01:01:15That little man who worked for Wingard, Carloggio.
01:01:18Mm-hmm.
01:01:20Your health, Drummond.
01:01:27It had occurred to me that I might not be able to persuade you up here.
01:01:31And then I reasoned that your curiosity would probably get the better of your judgment.
01:01:36Well, you were right.
01:01:37I usually am.
01:01:39Doesn't it worry you that I might whip out a gun and blow your block off?
01:01:42No.
01:01:44In the first place, there's too much you want to know.
01:01:47And in the second, you don't have a gun.
01:01:50There's a metal detector just inside the front door, which would have sounded an alarm if you'd been armed.
01:01:55And anyway, our sort don't carry guns.
01:02:00We use this to get what we want.
01:02:04And I assume you have got what you want.
01:02:08It is rather charming, isn't it?
01:02:10Oh, so cozy.
01:02:12You must allow me to show you the rest of it.
01:02:14Yes, you will stay for the weekend, of course.
01:02:16No, I haven't brought my pajamas.
01:02:19My dear fellow, everything in this house is yours for the asking, isn't it, Anna?
01:02:27Yours for the asking, Drummond.
01:02:30Well, thanks a lot, but I prefer to roll my own.
01:02:45This is what I like to call my operations room.
01:02:48It's the nerve center of my organization.
01:02:52I have others, of course, but this is the one I choose to use at present.
01:02:56Mr. Peterson?
01:02:58Yes, Magda?
01:03:00The American stock has fallen two points.
01:03:03Two points?
01:03:05Yes, two points.
01:03:07Well, that's good.
01:03:09Yes, Magda?
01:03:11The American stock has fallen two points.
01:03:14Should we start buying soon?
01:03:17No, it will drop another ten tonight.
01:03:19The president of the company is due to commit suicide about now.
01:03:23There's no better way of devaluing stock
01:03:26than to have the president of the company blow his brains out.
01:03:29Or crash his private aircraft.
01:03:31Ah, Keller.
01:03:33Phoenician want an oil concession. I got it for them, that's all.
01:03:37Would you like to lead the way?
01:03:50Beauty and the beast, huh?
01:03:56You've met Grace, of course.
01:03:58She's one of our new girls.
01:04:00There are certain things they have to learn before I send them out to work.
01:04:05Chang there teaches them self-defense.
01:04:08Chang?
01:04:10Come and shake hands with Mr. Drummond.
01:04:35Ah!
01:04:39Sorry if I upset the hired hand.
01:04:41Even bad help is hard to come by these days.
01:04:45Dinner in half an hour, Chang.
01:04:48You'll join us, my dear.
01:04:50We must arrange a proper match between you and Chang someday.
01:04:54He's a black belt, you know.
01:04:56Well, you better tell him to use it to keep his pants up with, then.
01:05:05Interestingly lethal collection.
01:05:08Like the young women you seem to have around here.
01:05:11My operations cover a wide sphere.
01:05:14In Japan, I use Mitsuko.
01:05:16Tanya and Remy are in Brazil just now.
01:05:19Gerd is in Germany.
01:05:21And Anna here looks after India.
01:05:23It really becomes quite difficult to keep track of them all sometimes.
01:05:26Bet you'll manage.
01:05:28I can't.
01:05:30I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to have someone to talk to again.
01:05:34Someone outside my own circle, that is.
01:05:36Your friend Wingard was the last.
01:05:39Capital chess player. Very intelligent man.
01:05:42Not intelligent enough, sir.
01:05:44On the contrary, like yourself, too intelligent.
01:05:48He became inquisitive.
01:05:50Irritating.
01:05:51Well, it was a nuisance, you know.
01:05:53But then it brought you here, so it has its compensations.
01:05:56Oh, my dears.
01:05:59Mr. Drummond, Miss Eckman.
01:06:06How do you do?
01:06:08And our little Penelope.
01:06:10Hello.
01:06:12Our little Penelope has already made contact with my nephew.
01:06:16Such a handsome young man.
01:06:18Yes, you made quite an impression on him, too.
01:06:21Really?
01:06:24You see, Drummond, in big business,
01:06:27huge sums of money depend on the ability of one man.
01:06:30Competitors fight in every way they know to bring that man down.
01:06:34They employ complicated and expensive methods.
01:06:37Stock deals, market-rigging, price-cutting.
01:06:42It never entered anyone's head that there was a far simpler way
01:06:46of making money.
01:06:48Price-cutting.
01:06:49It never entered anyone's head
01:06:51that there was a far simpler way of getting what one wanted.
01:06:55Until you came along.
01:06:57My method is simplicity itself.
01:06:59If a man stands in your way, dispose of that man.
01:07:03And how do you propose to dispose of King Federer?
01:07:07An accident, of course.
01:07:09Shipboard explosion.
01:07:10All hands lost at sea.
01:07:12Splendid obituaries in the Times.
01:07:14I shall be a million pounds the richer.
01:07:18Ekman?
01:07:20Yes, Carl.
01:07:21Now, Mr Drummond, we must make sure
01:07:23that nobody expects you home this evening.
01:07:27Magda.
01:07:28Yes, Miss Ekman?
01:07:30Mr Drummond would like to speak to his nephew
01:07:33aboard the Royal Yacht.
01:07:35Yes, Miss Ekman.
01:07:36Make the call as simple as possible.
01:07:38We can cut it off from here.
01:07:41Mr Robert Drummond is waiting.
01:07:43Hello, Robert.
01:07:44Hi.
01:07:45Enjoying yourself?
01:07:46Oh, yes, swinging.
01:07:47Where are you speaking from?
01:07:49I'm up at the castle.
01:07:51I've been invited to spend the weekend.
01:07:53Oh?
01:07:54Is everything all right then?
01:07:56Oh, fine.
01:07:57Well, I think Pogo will probably be upset.
01:07:59He took quite a shine to you.
01:08:01Well, people sometimes do.
01:08:03Take care of yourself.
01:08:05Hello?
01:08:06Hugh?
01:08:13Miss Chang, offer Mr Drummond a cigar.
01:08:16Oh, let me.
01:08:21Hmm.
01:08:22Corona, corona.
01:08:25Now, I don't think I will.
01:08:28My friends told me they're not very good for your health.
01:08:33I do like a man who can retain his sense of humour.
01:08:37It is rather comical, isn't it?
01:08:39What is it?
01:08:40I mean, the whole thing.
01:08:41The girls, the castle, Fu Manchu over there.
01:08:46Even you, I suppose.
01:08:50My dears,
01:08:53Mr Drummond is trying to provoke me.
01:08:56He can provoke me
01:08:59any time.
01:09:01You always did have the morals of an early cat, Penelope.
01:09:05Yes, because I like mine.
01:09:06No, dear, you like anything,
01:09:08just as long as it isn't yours.
01:09:10I like what I...
01:09:16What exactly is it
01:09:19that you find so amusing?
01:09:21Oh, the whole thing's so theatrical, isn't it?
01:09:24I mean, I grant the girls have got some conceivable purpose,
01:09:28but what about old Fatso over there?
01:09:31What's he for?
01:09:32I advise you to be careful, Drummond.
01:09:34Chang's English is very good.
01:09:36What's more, I can say about his buttling.
01:09:38He slops coffee in the saucer,
01:09:40he's ugly as sin,
01:09:42and his breath smells like the bottom of a parrot cage.
01:09:46No, Chang!
01:09:49I don't know what you hope to achieve by this, Drummond,
01:09:51but I advise you to stop it.
01:09:53No, Carl, dear.
01:09:55Let him go on.
01:09:56It should be rather amusing.
01:09:59And what about that ridiculous sword thing?
01:10:02What's that for?
01:10:03Picking those rotting teeth with?
01:10:09Ha! Ha! Ha!
01:10:29Round one to you.
01:10:32The next is mine, I think.
01:10:38If they start letting fly with those things,
01:10:40we'll all end up spattered over the furniture, Peterson.
01:10:43Now, you don't honestly think
01:10:45that you can fight your way out of here armed with just that?
01:10:48I can make an impressive dent in your skull trying.
01:10:52I don't advise it.
01:10:55Always ready to take advice.
01:10:57A sensible decision.
01:11:00And now, before tempers get frayed,
01:11:03I think we all should be thinking of bed.
01:11:06I know someone who already is.
01:11:09Miss Eckman.
01:11:11We'll see you to your room.
01:11:15I don't know what you're talking about.
01:11:17I don't know what you're talking about.
01:11:19I don't know what you're talking about.
01:11:21We'll see you to your room.
01:11:24Good night, Carl.
01:11:26Next time you're in London,
01:11:28allow me to recommend you to a good dentist.
01:11:30Good night.
01:11:49A bit warm for you, is it?
01:11:51Shall I open the window?
01:11:53Oh, I wouldn't do that. It's electrified.
01:11:55Really?
01:12:00You're absolutely right.
01:12:02It's most kind of you to have mentioned it, Miss Eckman.
01:12:04Well, I didn't want you to get killed.
01:12:06At least, not yet.
01:12:08You're saving me for some wild little torture of your own, huh?
01:12:12Not torture.
01:12:14I'm just rather soft-hearted.
01:12:16And I want you to die happy.
01:12:18Huh?
01:12:20Do you mind?
01:12:22No, not at all.
01:12:24The condemned man's going to have a hearty breakfast, is he?
01:12:28Well, I doubt very much whether you'll be with us by breakfast.
01:12:32But, uh, could you pour me a glass of champagne, please?
01:12:36All right.
01:12:38Thank you.
01:12:45Hmm.
01:12:47That nasty boyfriend of yours has got expensive tastes.
01:12:50Why not?
01:12:52He's not short of other people's money.
01:12:55And besides,
01:12:57this nasty boyfriend of mine
01:12:59likes only the best.
01:13:02Don't you?
01:13:06Do you, um,
01:13:08find me attractive?
01:13:12Do you like my body?
01:13:15Well, it's not bad.
01:13:20A little bit muscular, perhaps,
01:13:22but then you've got to expect that
01:13:24violent sort of exercise you take.
01:13:28To your health.
01:13:30Well, I don't know that's quite the appropriate toast
01:13:32under the circumstances.
01:13:35Unless...
01:13:41Miss...
01:13:43Eckman.
01:13:45Yes?
01:13:47Come and sit on the bed,
01:13:49and let's have a friendly chat.
01:13:55Can you help me to get out of here?
01:13:58Hmm?
01:14:00But I couldn't possibly.
01:14:02Carl would kill me.
01:14:04No.
01:14:06What if I was here to protect you?
01:14:08Think of the wonderful times
01:14:10we could have together, Miss Eckman.
01:14:12Um, darling,
01:14:15by the way,
01:14:17what is your first name?
01:14:19Emma.
01:14:21Hmm.
01:14:23That's an absolutely
01:14:25super name.
01:14:27And...
01:14:29would you really take care of me?
01:14:31Day and night.
01:14:33Especially at night.
01:14:39After all,
01:14:41you'd have saved my life.
01:14:43Mm-hmm.
01:14:45And can you promise that
01:14:47everything will work out all right?
01:14:49Well, we can but try.
01:14:51Mm-hmm.
01:14:53Now, do you think we can do it?
01:14:57I'll tell you that later.
01:14:59Now, don't talk anymore
01:15:01and kiss me.
01:15:03Hmm?
01:15:13You know, this is ridiculous.
01:15:15What are you talking about?
01:15:17Hmm?
01:15:19Well, with you,
01:15:21I'd never know whether I was going to fall
01:15:23from a high building
01:15:25or be beaten up
01:15:27by six or seven thugs
01:15:29or have my head blown off
01:15:31by a corona-corona.
01:15:33You don't trust me,
01:15:35hmm?
01:15:37Sweetheart, I trust you
01:15:39about as much
01:15:41as a bad-tempered scorpion.
01:15:50So you better run and tell your boyfriend
01:15:52that though I enjoyed his dinner,
01:15:54I really couldn't face the dessert.
01:16:07You are unnatural.
01:16:11Hey.
01:16:13You forgot your pants.
01:16:20Oh.
01:16:32Karl!
01:16:34Hello, dear. Didn't you see come?
01:16:36I want to kill him, Karl. Please.
01:16:38So you shall, dear, when I say so.
01:16:40This man is utterly and completely...
01:16:42Hello.
01:16:44Anything good on the telly?
01:16:46Oh.
01:16:48You've got to admit,
01:16:50he's a dish.
01:16:58This is my lighter.
01:17:00Is it? Karl, I'm sick and tired
01:17:02of having her pick up everything that takes her fancy.
01:17:04Now, would you please tell this little...
01:17:06Now, just look at that.
01:17:19I've got to talk to you.
01:17:21Please, you must listen to me.
01:17:23All right.
01:17:25I can't take any more of this.
01:17:27You should have thought of that before you came here.
01:17:29I didn't volunteer.
01:17:31My father was a chemist.
01:17:33Peterson tricked him, used him in a dope deal.
01:17:35And if you hadn't come here,
01:17:37Peterson would have had him sent to prison, is that it?
01:17:39Not anymore.
01:17:41Why?
01:17:43My father died two weeks ago.
01:17:45He killed himself.
01:17:49Can you phone out of here
01:17:51to my nephew?
01:17:53No.
01:17:55Only Eggman and Peterson can use the phone.
01:17:57Better leave it with me.
01:17:59And you'd better get out of here
01:18:01before they miss you.
01:18:05Our problem has always been
01:18:07to get close enough to the king
01:18:09so that the bomb we use is 100% effective.
01:18:13But with this new plastic explosive,
01:18:15a few ounces of which could blow up
01:18:17this whole building,
01:18:19and with grace,
01:18:21we have a solution.
01:18:29I don't like changing plans,
01:18:31but this.
01:18:33Meet me in the laboratory
01:18:35in half an hour.
01:18:37This needs a woman's touch.
01:18:39All right.
01:18:41Me too.
01:18:43You make sure
01:18:45Mr. Drummond gets a good night's sleep.
01:18:47The treatment.
01:18:49The treatment.
01:19:15♪
01:19:45♪
01:20:07Poor you.
01:20:15♪
01:20:26♪
01:20:44Good morning, Drummond.
01:20:46Have a good night?
01:20:48It was a knockout.
01:20:50I debated whether I should allow you
01:20:52to awake at all,
01:20:54but like all artists, I work better
01:20:56when there's someone to appreciate what I'm doing.
01:20:58May I?
01:21:00Of course.
01:21:04Your nephew seems to be enjoying himself.
01:21:08He has a great capacity for self-indulgence.
01:21:10Unlike you,
01:21:12he'll grow out of it.
01:21:14I doubt if he'll have the time.
01:21:16Now, how about a game of chess
01:21:18while we're waiting?
01:21:20What are we waiting for?
01:21:22Twelve o'clock.
01:21:24That's when, for the want of a better expression,
01:21:26the balloon goes up.
01:21:30One for me,
01:21:32one for you.
01:21:34I'll set the board.
01:21:39Black and white to opening positions.
01:21:41The age of computers, Drummond.
01:22:12Congratulations.
01:22:14Courtesy of a shipping company
01:22:16that failed when its chairman died.
01:22:18Lost at sea, I'd add.
01:22:20Precisely.
01:22:22Now, if you'd like to take white and open again,
01:22:24just tell the computer the move you want to make,
01:22:26and it will do the job for you.
01:22:28Thank you very much.
01:22:30You're welcome.
01:22:32You're welcome.
01:22:34You're welcome.
01:22:36You're welcome.
01:22:38Again, just tell the computer the move you want to make,
01:22:40and it will do the rest.
01:22:44King's pawn to king four.
01:22:52King's pawn gambit.
01:22:54Orthodox reply.
01:22:56King's pawn to king four.
01:23:04King's knight to king's bishop three.
01:23:09Where are your two little charmers this morning?
01:23:12In the village.
01:23:14Queen's knight to queen's bishop three.
01:23:26Queen's knight to queen's bishop three.
01:23:39Grace is with them.
01:23:41She has the place of honor in this morning's business.
01:23:44That surprises you,
01:23:46after last night's cozy little scene in the bathroom?
01:23:49If it's any consolation to you, she meant what she said.
01:23:52She's taking part in today's events without her knowledge.
01:23:56King's knight to king's bishop three.
01:23:59Doesn't it worry you that she might object when she finds out?
01:24:03When she finds out, it'll be too late.
01:24:06She won't be there anymore.
01:24:08Neither will King Ferdra, nor the yacht,
01:24:11nor, I'm sorry to say, your beloved nephew.
01:24:14Just a great big hole in the water.
01:24:18I gather that Grace is carrying the bong, then.
01:24:22My dear Drummond, Grace is the bong.
01:24:29I've always wanted a yacht like that.
01:24:32It seems a pity to blow it up, doesn't it?
01:24:34If we don't get moving soon, it won't people on it.
01:24:38That's right.
01:24:42Now, Grace, you're a very lucky girl, you know.
01:24:45Mr. Peterson doesn't usually give anyone a second chance,
01:24:48so try to earn it.
01:24:54Penelope and I are going to arrange about the explosives,
01:24:57and you stay here.
01:25:00That's mine.
01:25:03I meant what I said, darling,
01:25:05so don't get any ideas about taking a walk, huh?
01:25:09Is that clear?
01:25:12All right. Come on.
01:25:30How can you be sure she will run?
01:25:33She'll run just as soon as she thinks we're far enough away.
01:25:36Don't you worry.
01:25:37Oh, beautiful!
01:25:38Yes, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
01:25:54I'm sorry, miss, you cannot go aboard.
01:25:56I must.
01:25:57I'm sorry, but...
01:25:58I must see King Pedro or Robert Drummond.
01:26:00It's impossible.
01:26:06Miss Tudor, friend of yours?
01:26:08Well, not yet, but I'm sure we can work out something.
01:26:11I've got to speak to you both.
01:26:13It's about your uncle.
01:26:25Hello?
01:26:29Everybody safely aboard.
01:26:32Drummond, come here a minute, will you?
01:26:36The fuse has been successfully lit.
01:26:44Interesting to speculate just where on her person
01:26:47you could possibly have hidden the bomb.
01:26:50Now isn't it just?
01:26:53Your move, I think.
01:26:55Sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
01:26:57Of course it's true, every word of it.
01:26:59Ekman and Penelope are arranging about the bomb right now.
01:27:02You've no idea what sort of a bomb?
01:27:04They wouldn't tell me.
01:27:06Let's assume for a moment what she says is true.
01:27:08The question is, what do we do?
01:27:10Get the hell out of here before they come back.
01:27:13Right.
01:27:14Captain!
01:27:15See you around, I hope.
01:27:16Hey!
01:27:17Where are you going?
01:27:18Well, as long as we're believing her,
01:27:20I'd better get up the castle and lend a hand.
01:27:22It strikes me as being extremely capable.
01:27:24Helpless as a babe without me around.
01:27:29Parajala!
01:27:35They'll keep you from being lonely.
01:27:37Well, what about you?
01:27:40You must be joking.
01:27:45Tell me, how are you planning to dispose of me?
01:27:48Hmm?
01:27:50Oh, an underwater swim.
01:27:52Ekman, Penelope and you,
01:27:54the only trouble is that you've forgotten to check your air tanks.
01:28:01King's Bishop Pawn to King's Bishop Three.
01:28:12Come on, Drummond.
01:28:14It's your move.
01:28:16Hmm?
01:28:17I said it was your move.
01:28:19Then I'd better make it.
01:28:49Ah!
01:29:14Ah!
01:29:16Ah!
01:29:20Standard gambit.
01:29:21Eliminate your opponent's knight.
01:29:23Your move, Peterson.
01:29:27Black Queen's Knight is taken.
01:29:50Ah!
01:30:07White Queen's Bishop to Queen Two.
01:30:13White King's Bishop's Pawn to King's Bishop Three.
01:30:20That's six, Peterson. You only get seven with a Beretta.
01:30:24Black King's Bishop's Pawn to King's Bishop Four.
01:30:42Ah!
01:30:49Ah!
01:31:19Ah!
01:31:29Black Queen's Pawn to Queen Six.
01:31:36Black Queen to King Four.
01:31:41White Castle to King Four.
01:31:43White Bishop to King Four.
01:31:45Black King to King Four.
01:31:49Ah!
01:31:56Ah!
01:32:04Checkmate.
01:32:19Ah!
01:32:25Is this a private party, or can anyone join in?
01:32:27Be my guest.
01:32:38Well, what shall I do with her?
01:32:40Nasty little girl.
01:32:42Down the black hole.
01:32:46Ah!
01:32:49Give me a hand with this, Bishop.
01:32:53It's heavy.
01:32:55Well, that ought to keep the little darlings quiet for a while.
01:33:13Well, I'm glad to see that Grace and the King are hitting it off.
01:33:17It must be her explosive personality.
01:33:25What's the time?
01:33:27Five to twelve.
01:33:28We've got five minutes.
01:33:47Ah!
01:33:57Ah!
01:34:00Ah!
01:34:02Hey, hey.
01:34:12Where is it?
01:34:18Come on.
01:34:29Come on, get going.
01:34:35Cover them.
01:34:47Ah!
01:34:58What's all this about, Mr. Drummond?
01:35:00This girl is due to blow up in about two minutes.
01:35:06So where is it?
01:35:08I don't know.
01:35:10Honestly,
01:35:12I do
01:35:13love her.
01:35:14You won't get anything out of her.
01:35:15Here, catch this.
01:35:17Give me the other one.
01:35:24No time for modesty.
01:35:48The women.
01:35:49They've got away.
01:35:51We'll worry about them later.
01:35:55Sorry about this.
01:35:56Hope you can swim.
01:36:01One, two, three,
01:36:03and up she goes.
01:36:04And up she goes.
01:36:08Incidentally, where was it?
01:36:10In her chignon.
01:36:11Chignon?
01:36:13Well, you know, her false hair piece up there.
01:36:15Lover, wasn't it?
01:36:16It couldn't be.
01:36:18It was nicer than mine,
01:36:20so I changed them over.
01:36:22Where's it now?
01:36:24I'm wearing it.
01:36:25You're what?
01:36:31That's what comes of letting success go to your head.
01:36:38Help!
01:36:40Help!
01:36:41Help!
01:36:42I'll go.
01:36:43No, I'll go.
01:36:44Help!
01:36:47Help!
01:36:48Help!
01:36:49Help!
