00:04:24 - Far reaching effects both for your own interests
00:04:33 and internationally.
00:04:34 This tape contains all the information I have
00:04:36 on the subject.
00:04:37 I know you'll recognize the urgency
00:04:39 and act on it immediately.
00:04:42 I'd like to have seen you myself
00:04:43 but it's imperative that I stay here.
00:04:46 Good luck Hugh.
00:04:48 (dramatic music)
00:04:51 - Good morning.
00:05:11 - Good morning.
00:05:12 Lovely day isn't it?
00:05:14 Are you Mr. Wingard?
00:05:16 - Yes.
00:05:17 - Great.
00:05:18 (dramatic music)
00:05:21 Silly Mr. Wingard, very silly.
00:05:26 Okay.
00:05:28 Oh, poor Mr. Wingard.
00:05:33 (dramatic music)
00:05:37 (suspenseful music)

00:06:11 (gun firing)
00:06:31 (dramatic music)
00:06:33 - Mr. Drummond.
00:06:49 - Yes.
00:06:50 - You're wanted on the phone.
00:06:51 - Oh.
00:06:52 Excuse me.
00:06:54 (dramatic music)
00:06:57 - Hugh Drummond here, you have a call for me.
00:07:03 Hello John, don't you ever take a day off?
00:07:07 About half an hour then?
00:07:11 Yeah, all right, bye now.
00:07:14 I say Drummond, doesn't your group at Lloyd's
00:07:18 insure most of the Keller organization?
00:07:23 It's nasty business.
00:07:24 It's gonna cost us a great deal of money.
00:07:26 Well, it may sound ghoulish, but as it happens,
00:07:31 it's gonna make us a great deal of money.
00:07:34 - Oh.
00:07:34 - Venetian Oil is almost certain
00:07:36 to pick up Keller's concessions now.
00:07:39 We've been after them for months,
00:07:40 but Keller's always stood in our way.
00:07:42 What is it Peggy?
00:07:43 - Time for your medicine.
00:07:45 - Oh Lord.
00:07:45 - Can I get you a drink Mr. Drummond?
00:07:48 - Yes, have a drink.
00:07:50 - Ah, filthy muck.
00:07:51 I think I'll have one too.
00:07:52 - No Mr. Drum?
00:07:53 - No. - Nope.
00:07:54 Mr. Drummond?
00:07:57 - Later perhaps.
00:08:00 - Very well.
00:08:01 - You're wasting your time.
00:08:05 Peggy's a very well brought up girl,
00:08:06 father's a bishop, but in spite of her,
00:08:08 I'm going to have a drink.
00:08:10 They tell me you knew a fellow named David Wingard.
00:08:14 - Yes, I still do.
00:08:15 - Not anymore, he's dead.
00:08:17 - Good heavens, how?
00:08:21 - He was killed in a shooting accident.
00:08:23 - That doesn't sound like Wingard.
00:08:25 He was a particularly careful man, especially about guns.
00:08:29 - This was a harpoon gun, he was skin diving.
00:08:32 - Oh, I know something fishy, he couldn't swim.
00:08:36 - What you've just told me confirms my own suspicions.
00:08:41 Wingard worked for me, you know,
00:08:43 exploratory work on oil fields.
00:08:45 Two days ago I got this cable from him.
00:08:48 Imperative contact Henry Keller
00:08:50 immediately matter life and death.
00:08:52 Cable whereabouts, Wingard.
00:08:55 - Did you contact him?
00:08:57 - Ever tried to contact a man like Keller?
00:09:00 Ran his whole damn shooting match from that plane.
00:09:02 I tried, but couldn't.
00:09:04 Next thing I hear is this.
00:09:06 - And you think that Wingard knew?
00:09:09 - Well, he must have known something.
00:09:11 - What do you want me to do about it?
00:09:14 - Well, you're involved in two ways.
00:09:15 First, the insurance on Keller's plane.
00:09:18 Second, your friendship with Wingard.
00:09:20 I'd appreciate it if you could find out what happened.
00:09:24 - Well, I'll try.
00:09:26 Can I keep this?
00:09:27 - It's time for the Phoenician board meeting, Sir John.
00:09:29 - Right.
00:09:31 It's a sick world, Hugh.
00:09:32 Keller's dead, and because of it,
00:09:36 do you know what I'll find around
00:09:37 the Phoenician board table this morning?
00:09:39 Nothing but a lot of happy, smiling faces.
00:09:42 (men chattering)
00:09:45 - Please, gentlemen.
00:09:48 Sir John, I say it's an obligation.
00:09:52 No matter what has happened,
00:09:54 Phoenician is committed to pay,
00:09:56 and we shall have to do so.
00:09:58 - A million pounds?
00:10:00 You'd seriously pay out a million pounds
00:10:02 of the shareholders' money when you don't have to?
00:10:04 They'd boot you out of the next meeting if you did,
00:10:07 and quite right to.
00:10:08 - A million pounds was the figure agreed, Bridge North.
00:10:12 And anyway, why all the fuss?
00:10:14 You know what the Samarkand oil concession means to us.
00:10:17 - Exactly, if we don't clear six million net profit
00:10:19 in the first 18 months, I'll resign.
00:10:21 - And about time, too.
00:10:23 Now, let's look at this situation realistically, shall we?
00:10:26 Three months ago, we, Phoenician Oil,
00:10:30 were approached by the representative
00:10:32 of an unknown private party, who suggested
00:10:35 that Keller's objection to merging his oil fields with ours
00:10:38 could be overcome inside six months
00:10:41 in exchange for a fee of one million pounds.
00:10:44 Now, Keller's dead, the merger will go through,
00:10:46 and it needn't cost us a cent, and yet,
00:10:49 two of our directors still wanna pay out this million, why?
00:10:52 - Because we have a contract.
00:10:54 And when I make a contract, I stick to it.
00:10:56 - Rubbish.
00:10:57 - Yes?
00:11:01 - The young lady's here to see you now, sir.
00:11:02 - Thank you.
00:11:03 Gentlemen, the other party's representative's here.
00:11:06 - Good, let's get on with it.
00:11:07 - Good morning, Miss Aitman.
00:11:11 - Good morning.
00:11:12 - We have just been discussing
00:11:13 what could be done about your proposition.
00:11:15 - But there's nothing to discuss, I'm sure.
00:11:17 Mr. Keller no longer opposes the merger.
00:11:20 Now you merely have to pay our fee.
00:11:23 Thank you.
00:11:24 - We don't have to pay a cent.
00:11:27 He didn't do anything.
00:11:29 Keller's death was an act of God.
00:11:30 - Our contract did not call on us to do anything, gentlemen,
00:11:36 except prove that Mr. Keller's opposition
00:11:38 would be withdrawn before a specified date.
00:11:40 Well, it has been withdrawn.
00:11:45 - She's absolutely right, you know.
00:11:47 (men chattering)
00:11:49 - Gentlemen, I think we should take a vote.
00:11:53 Those who feel that we are obligated to pay this fee
00:11:55 should signify in the usual way.
00:11:57 Those in favor of payment.
00:11:59 Thank you.
00:12:01 Four.
00:12:02 Those against?
00:12:03 Five.
00:12:05 I also am in favor of paying.
00:12:09 You see, Miss Aitman, we're deadlocked.
00:12:12 - Very well, then.
00:12:14 I shall convey your decision to my principal.
00:12:17 And perhaps we can meet again tomorrow.
00:12:20 - Yes, as a good lass.
00:12:21 And why not have him come up here himself?
00:12:24 We'd all like to meet him.
00:12:25 - I'm afraid that would be impossible.
00:12:28 Good day.
00:12:30 - Thank you, Miss Aitman.
00:12:31 - Thank you.
00:12:32 (Keller chuckles)
00:12:36 - She's a rather little cracker, that one.
00:12:38 Why can't we employ agents like her?
00:12:40 - Item five, gentlemen.
00:12:42 (dramatic music)
00:12:44 - Hi, Uncle Hugh.
00:13:03 - You're supposed to be in America.
00:13:05 - Yeah, well, something came up.
00:13:07 - How was she like?
00:13:08 - Angry.
00:13:09 So was her father.
00:13:10 - You're not thinking of staying, are you?
00:13:13 - Well, I live here, remember?
00:13:15 - Only when you're in London.
00:13:16 - So, I'm in London.
00:13:18 And it's good to be home.
00:13:21 You are pleased to see me.
00:13:24 - Oh, overwhelmed.
00:13:25 - I mean, you haven't rented my room or anything, have you?
00:13:30 - That's a damn good idea.
00:13:31 I wish I'd thought of it.
00:13:32 - It's good to see you again, Uncle Hugh.
00:13:37 What have you been up to?
00:13:38 - Oh, this and that.
00:13:40 (dramatic music)
00:13:42 - That?
00:13:45 - Miss Ashenden, my nephew, Robert.
00:13:47 - How do you do?
00:13:49 - Hello, Miss Ashenden.
00:13:50 Or may I call you--
00:13:51 - Miss Ashenden will be fine.
00:13:52 - Hey, look, if this is business or something--
00:13:59 - We've finished.
00:14:00 - We have?
00:14:07 Well, then, maybe I should take the lady home.
00:14:10 - That won't be necessary.
00:14:11 - Well, we can't have you walking the streets alone.
00:14:13 - I never do.
00:14:14 Hugh is driving me, aren't you, darling?
00:14:19 (dramatic music)
00:14:24 - Good evening, sir.
00:14:29 (dramatic music)
00:14:32 - Welcome home and good evening, Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:14:53 (dramatic music)
00:14:56 (dramatic music)
00:14:59 - How did you get in?
00:15:02 Who gave you that?
00:15:07 What do you want?
00:15:15 Think you can get round me, eh?
00:15:20 - Can't I?
00:15:23 - No.
00:15:25 (dramatic music)
00:15:28 - How very disappointing.
00:15:30 And I thought I'd...
00:15:34 Found a real man in you, Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:15:41 - Wait a minute.
00:15:48 No need to be hasty.
00:15:50 (dramatic music)
00:15:55 You could always try persuading me.
00:15:57 - Do you think I...
00:16:01 Could succeed?
00:16:05 - Try.
00:16:10 (dramatic music)
00:16:12 (dramatic music)
00:16:15 - Nails are sharp.
00:16:35 (dramatic music)
00:16:38 (sneezes)
00:16:40 Penelope.
00:16:48 Mr. Bridgenorth?
00:16:52 - Could have been very nice, Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:16:56 But now you're paralyzed.
00:16:58 You can see and you can hear and you can feel.
00:17:02 But you can't move and you can't talk.
00:17:06 - Oh, poor Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:17:09 You see, it is a nasty old drug she carries in her ring.
00:17:12 It only lasts just a few minutes.
00:17:14 And doesn't leave any traces at all.
00:17:17 Isn't that clever?
00:17:19 The police will think you've committed suicide.
00:17:23 - Penelope, take his feet.
00:17:24 (dramatic music)
00:17:29 (dramatic music)
00:17:58 - Bye-bye, Mr. Bridgenorth.
00:18:00 (dramatic music)
00:18:01 (tires screeching)
00:18:02 - Well, I have had men fall for me before,
00:18:05 but never like this.
00:18:07 (dramatic music)
00:18:14 - Good morning, Miss Eggman.
00:18:23 - Good morning.
00:18:25 Well, now, I have conveyed the news of your deadlock
00:18:27 to my principal, but unfortunately, he does insist
00:18:30 that the contract must be honored and his fee paid.
00:18:32 Oh, I see that our main objector is not here today.
00:18:38 Well, in that case, perhaps, gentlemen,
00:18:40 you would care to vote again?
00:18:43 - I really don't think it's as simple as that.
00:18:45 - Pay the girl.
00:18:47 - Am I to take that as a proposal?
00:18:49 - Sir John's right.
00:18:50 Do pay her before someone else falls
00:18:52 from a 15-story building.
00:18:55 (laughing)
00:18:56 - I think we might strike Mr. Weston's last remark
00:18:59 from the record.
00:19:00 Those in favor of paying?
00:19:02 You may tell your principal the money will be paid
00:19:10 as per contract.
00:19:12 - Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:19:14 (dramatic music)
00:19:17 (dramatic music)
00:19:20 (dramatic music)
00:19:48 - Senor Drummond, sir.
00:19:50 You are Senor Drummond?
00:19:54 - Yes, who are you?
00:19:55 - Carloggio, sir.
00:19:58 I was Senor Wingard's servant.
00:20:00 - You may come inside.
00:20:02 - Would you like a drink?
00:20:05 I was sorry to hear about Senor Wingard.
00:20:11 - Who, you know?
00:20:12 Who tell you?
00:20:13 - Sir John Bledlow had a cable
00:20:15 from the police at Castellumale.
00:20:17 - The police, they are no good.
00:20:19 When I tell them about the tape recording,
00:20:21 they just laugh.
00:20:22 - What tape recording?
00:20:25 - All that morning, Senor Wingard
00:20:26 talk into his tape machine.
00:20:28 "It's very important," he says.
00:20:30 I come back from the market and find him dead,
00:20:33 but there is no tape.
00:20:34 There is only this.
00:20:36 - Nothing else?
00:20:40 - When the tape was pulled from the machine,
00:20:44 this little piece was torn off.
00:20:47 - And you brought these things to me
00:20:49 because of this address?
00:20:50 - Si, Senor.
00:20:51 The whole tape was to come to you.
00:20:53 It was arranged by Senor Wingard before he died.
00:20:55 "Carloggio," he said to me,
00:20:57 "I want you to go to London
00:20:58 "with a very important package for Senor Drummond.
00:21:01 "You make sure you give it to him and nobody else."
00:21:04 - Now he's murdered,
00:21:05 and the tape that was the package is gone.
00:21:08 But still I come.
00:21:14 - Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:21:16 Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:21:22 - There's not enough here to make any sense.
00:21:27 I may want to fly back with you,
00:21:31 see if I can find out what's going on.
00:21:33 - Where are you staying?
00:21:35 - I stay with my cousin.
00:21:37 Here is his address in Camden Town.
00:21:39 - You want me to drive you?
00:21:40 - Grazie, it's no need.
00:21:41 I'll meet him.
00:21:42 Goodbye, sir.
00:21:43 - Goodbye, Carloggio.
00:21:44 (door opens)
00:21:46 - Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:21:51 (door closes)
00:21:52 (garbled speech)
00:21:55 Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:21:57 (door closes)
00:21:59 (dramatic music)
00:22:03 - Oh, excuse me, please.
00:22:07 Could you direct me to Montpelier Square?
00:22:10 - I'm sorry, I'm a stranger.
00:22:13 (tires screeching)
00:22:16 - Funny little man, to come all this way.
00:22:28 - Yeah, and our job is to find out why.
00:22:32 - We'll find out.
00:22:34 Won't we, little man?
00:22:37 - Do you have to play around with everything?
00:22:41 - Really, no.
00:22:42 (car engine starts)
00:22:45 - Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:22:54 (door opens)
00:22:55 (garbled speech)
00:22:56 Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:22:58 - What's an act?
00:23:01 - I don't know.
00:23:02 - Ruler sounds indigestible enough, but an act?
00:23:05 Who ate them?
00:23:06 - Shut up, buddy.
00:23:07 - Ain't the ruler and the act...
00:23:08 (door closes)
00:23:10 - Uncle Hugh.
00:23:11 - For goodness sake, stop calling me uncle.
00:23:13 - Hugh, old man.
00:23:14 - Hugh is sufficient.
00:23:15 - Hey, I was just wondering, are you gonna be in tonight?
00:23:19 - Why?
00:23:20 - Just wondering.
00:23:21 - Entertaining?
00:23:22 - Kinda.
00:23:23 - What kinda?
00:23:24 - You know.
00:23:26 - I'm simply trying to find out
00:23:27 whether I should put the breakables away or not.
00:23:29 Last time you had a party,
00:23:31 it cost me a great deal of money.
00:23:33 - Hey, no, nothing like that.
00:23:35 - No large young men panting hotly all over the furniture?
00:23:38 - Just me.
00:23:40 - Well, try and get her out before daylight.
00:23:44 I don't want the place to get a bad name.
00:23:46 (laughs)
00:23:48 (upbeat music)
00:23:51 - Who taught you to play?
00:23:52 - Chefs.
00:23:54 Sir John.
00:23:57 Jack.
00:23:59 - He's a good teacher.
00:24:02 - He's too careful.
00:24:03 - Not bold enough in attack?
00:24:07 - My boldness is a refinement of my own.
00:24:10 - Well, it's your chance.
00:24:12 - Check.
00:24:15 - Ah, a bad move.
00:24:18 Good evening, Mr. Drummond and Miss Ashenden.
00:24:21 - Good evening, Mr. Weston.
00:24:22 - Does Sir John know that you're playing games
00:24:24 with Mr. Drummond?
00:24:26 - I'm sure he will in the morning.
00:24:27 - Ah, not for me, dear lady.
00:24:29 Not for me.
00:24:30 Check.
00:24:32 - I'm sorry to hear about Bridge North.
00:24:37 - Yes, it was most unfortunate.
00:24:39 - May I?
00:24:40 - Do.
00:24:41 - Did you know him well?
00:24:45 - Only by reputation.
00:24:47 - Excuse me, sir, your guest is here.
00:24:50 - Perhaps we can finish at another time, excuse me.
00:24:53 Now, my dear, shall we play another game?
00:24:57 - Chess.
00:25:00 - I'll take it, huh?
00:25:01 - Yours or mine?
00:25:03 - Yours.
00:25:04 Rob's got company.
00:25:05 (dramatic music)
00:25:10 - You lay a finger on me, Robert Drummond,
00:25:12 and I'll bite it off.
00:25:14 - Now, Brenda, stop playing hard to get.
00:25:17 - I am hard to get.
00:25:18 But it's worth the effort.
00:25:21 (Robert chuckles)
00:25:24 Mm-mm.
00:25:25 I'd like another drink, please.
00:25:28 I do all sorts of things when I'm tired.
00:25:38 - Specially bottled for Hugh Drummond, Esquire.
00:25:42 I'd like to meet your uncle.
00:25:45 - No, you wouldn't.
00:25:46 He's old.
00:25:47 - But I like older men.
00:25:49 - Not that old.
00:25:50 - I bet your uncle doesn't behave like this.
00:25:56 - Oh, yes, he does.
00:25:57 - Really?
00:26:00 Him being so old, too.
00:26:02 - He's got a good memory.
00:26:06 - Now, Brenda.
00:26:07 (Brenda chuckles)
00:26:12 (doorbell buzzing)
00:26:18 - The door.
00:26:19 - I know.
00:26:21 - Aren't you going to answer it?
00:26:23 - They'll go away.
00:26:24 (doorbell buzzing)
00:26:27 - I'll go.
00:26:29 Might be someone fascinating.
00:26:31 We could have a party.
00:26:32 (doorbell buzzing)
00:26:35 - Good evening.
00:26:44 Does Mr. Drummond live here?
00:26:48 - He does.
00:26:49 - I have a package for him.
00:26:52 Perhaps you'd be kind enough to see he gets it.
00:26:57 - Oh, of course.
00:26:58 - Thank you.
00:27:01 - Good night.
00:27:02 - Good night.
00:27:03 - Satisfied?
00:27:08 - It's for you.
00:27:09 - Who's sending me cigars?
00:27:18 It's for my uncle.
00:27:24 - Can I have one?
00:27:27 - What?
00:27:28 - A cigar.
00:27:29 - Of course not.
00:27:31 - Why shouldn't women smoke cigars?
00:27:34 - It's not ladylike.
00:27:36 - They make me feel sexy.
00:28:00 - You look like a fallen woman.
00:28:03 - I haven't fallen yet.
00:28:04 - Let me give you a push.
00:28:11 (cigar shattering)
00:28:18 - Oh, no, I promised to stay out this evening,
00:28:21 but you didn't need to shoot at me.
00:28:23 - It was her cigar.
00:28:30 - Catch your girlfriend, Robert.
00:28:31 I think she's gonna faint.
00:28:32 - Hey, Brent.
00:28:37 Brent.
00:28:38 What shall I do with her?
00:28:40 - Put her on the bed and loosen her.
00:28:43 - Put her on the bed?
00:28:44 - Your bed.
00:28:46 - Smoke too much, these young girls.
00:28:48 - Hello?
00:28:52 This is Hugh Drummond.
00:28:53 I'd like to see Mr. Boxer.
00:28:55 Tonight.
00:28:57 - All right, I'm on my way.
00:28:59 (dramatic music)
00:29:04 (dramatic music)
00:29:07 (dramatic music)
00:29:09 (dramatic music)
00:29:12 (dramatic music)
00:29:15 (dramatic music)
00:29:18 (dramatic music)
00:29:20 (dramatic music)
00:29:47 (dramatic music)
00:29:49 (dramatic music)
00:29:52 (dramatic music)
00:29:55 (dramatic music)
00:29:58 (dramatic music)
00:30:00 (dramatic music)
00:30:03 - To the back.
00:30:12 (grunts)
00:30:15 Just a bit more.
00:30:16 Yes, more.
00:30:17 (alarm buzzing)
00:30:21 - Yeah?
00:30:27 - Hugh Drummond is here.
00:30:28 - Oh, send him in.
00:30:29 Shoo, shoo.
00:30:32 How are you, Hugh?
00:30:41 - Sit down, nice to see you.
00:30:43 - Hello, Boxer.
00:30:44 I never did like those tourist beaches.
00:30:46 - Oh.
00:30:47 There.
00:30:51 - Is that better?
00:30:53 - Instant vacations, yeah?
00:30:54 - Oh.
00:30:55 Only sort I can get.
00:30:58 I've been officially dead for three years.
00:31:01 Want a drink?
00:31:02 - You're a dead man, you're making an awful lot of money.
00:31:03 - Well, even dead men have to live.
00:31:06 Getting old, though.
00:31:07 Only the clean trade interests me these days.
00:31:10 Well, no more drugs or girls.
00:31:12 A bank here, train there.
00:31:14 All good, clean fun, and who misses it?
00:31:16 - The insurance companies.
00:31:18 - Not yours, though, never yours.
00:31:20 What's on your mind?
00:31:21 - Old-fashioned murder.
00:31:24 - Who, when?
00:31:25 - Relax, I don't want anybody killed.
00:31:28 I want to find a killer.
00:31:29 - Oh, who's been killed?
00:31:31 - Killer, chap called Henry Bridgenorth and David Wingard.
00:31:36 - David?
00:31:38 What, the David we knew in the army?
00:31:40 - And tonight, I received a box of cigars.
00:31:46 A two-two slug inside each one of them
00:31:48 and a very neat firing mechanism.
00:31:51 - Yeah.
00:31:53 - Doesn't ring a bell.
00:31:55 I'll have to check.
00:31:56 I've got Hugh Drummond with me.
00:31:59 We're old buddies.
00:32:00 Anything I have is his.
00:32:01 He wants to know who killed a mutual friend,
00:32:04 David Wingard, old Henry Keller, and a Mr.
00:32:08 - Bridgenorth.
00:32:09 - Bridgenorth.
00:32:10 Yeah, also, who sent him a box of cigars, loaded ones.
00:32:13 - Yes, sir.
00:32:15 - We keep up-to-date records and everything.
00:32:17 - We have to.
00:32:17 - Chicago, New York, Beirut, Hong Kong.
00:32:21 Yeah, I've even got my own private hot wire to Moscow.
00:32:24 And what we haven't got on file,
00:32:25 we can get by teletype the same day.
00:32:26 - Korea?
00:32:27 You're a sentimentalist, Boxer.
00:32:31 - Digging that tunnel was the only honest work
00:32:33 I ever did in my life.
00:32:34 - You were a lousy escaper.
00:32:37 - We escaped, didn't we?
00:32:38 Yeah?
00:32:41 - We have records of Keller and Bridgenorth.
00:32:43 Both accidents, it says here.
00:32:45 Nothing on Wingard at all.
00:32:47 The cigars were bought from the old gate bomb specialist
00:32:49 by a bird.
00:32:50 No information on the bird, except she was a looker.
00:32:53 - That's it, Huey boy.
00:32:56 I'll call you if I hear any more.
00:32:58 Yeah, it sounds to me as if you're up against a lone wolf,
00:33:01 and that can be rough.
00:33:02 - Well, thanks a lot.
00:33:03 And, uh,
00:33:04 stay alive, huh?
00:33:08 - You too, Huey boy.
00:33:09 Oh, uh, ask the young lady to come down again, will you?
00:33:14 (upbeat music)
00:33:17 - The young lady.
00:33:18 (upbeat music)
00:33:21 I think we're up to the back, darling.
00:33:25 That's it.
00:33:27 (dramatic music)
00:33:30 (tires screeching)
00:33:44 (guns firing)
00:33:47 (tires screeching)
00:34:00 (tires screeching)
00:34:03 (grunting)
00:34:19 (grunting)
00:34:22 (grunting)
00:34:25 (grunting)
00:34:27 (guns firing)
00:34:29 (grunting)
00:34:37 (gun firing)
00:34:53 (tires screeching)
00:34:56 - What's the matter?
00:34:58 Aren't the odds good enough for you anymore?
00:35:01 (metal clanging)
00:35:05 (car door slamming)
00:35:12 (gasping)
00:35:14 (car engine roaring)
00:35:18 (car engine roaring)
00:35:21 (tires screeching)
00:35:29 - I want a word with you, my friend.
00:35:33 - You're breaking me legs.
00:35:34 - Yeah, that's exactly what I intend to do.
00:35:36 - Now, let me out, let me out.
00:35:39 - Who sent you?
00:35:40 - A woman, some woman.
00:35:44 She paid us.
00:35:45 She told us to kill you and make you look like a mugging.
00:35:47 - What woman?
00:35:49 - I never saw her before.
00:35:50 She contacted me and I got hold of the others.
00:35:53 She never told us nothing about it.
00:35:54 She just paid us and told us what to do.
00:35:57 - I think I'll break your legs anyway.
00:35:59 - At least give us all I know.
00:36:01 I never saw her before.
00:36:02 (tires screeching)
00:36:11 - Better look after your friend.
00:36:14 I think his feet are killing him.
00:36:15 (car engine roaring)
00:36:18 - Oh, what are you doing there?
00:36:26 - Oh.
00:36:27 She decided she didn't want to go home.
00:36:32 And she didn't want to,
00:36:34 well, I like sleeping on the couch.
00:36:37 - Well, how is she?
00:36:39 - Oh, she's fine.
00:36:40 Asleep.
00:36:42 - No, I'm not.
00:36:44 (footsteps tapping)
00:36:46 - Is this your uncle, Robert?
00:36:48 - Uncle Hugh, this is Brenda.
00:36:51 - Hello, Brenda.
00:36:52 - Hello, Uncle Hugh.
00:36:52 - How are you feeling?
00:36:54 - I feel fine now.
00:36:55 Can I have a drink?
00:36:57 - Here, I'll get it.
00:36:58 Well, night, Uncle.
00:37:06 - Night, Robert.
00:37:07 (door slams)
00:37:09 (door opens)
00:37:11 - She's upset.
00:37:15 - Well, that makes two of you.
00:37:17 Good night.
00:37:19 (door slams)
00:37:24 - Hey.
00:37:30 I forgot a glass.
00:37:33 - I'll get you one.
00:37:34 - Thank you.
00:37:39 - Well, good night.
00:37:41 - Good night.
00:37:44 (door slams)
00:37:49 (Brenda clears throat)
00:37:55 I'm terribly sorry,
00:37:56 but there doesn't seem to be a key to this door.
00:37:58 I think I ought to-
00:37:59 - Well, why don't you try putting the chair
00:38:01 under the handle?
00:38:03 - Oh, all right.
00:38:04 Good night.
00:38:06 - Good night.
00:38:06 - Good night.
00:38:08 - I can't seem to fix this chair.
00:38:18 - Would you like me to do it for you?
00:38:21 - Would you?
00:38:22 - With pleasure.
00:38:24 (door slams)
00:38:37 (door opens)
00:38:39 (door slams)
00:38:44 - Good morning.
00:38:51 - Pretty sneaky of her creeping off like that
00:38:58 in the middle of the night.
00:38:59 - Well, it's understandable.
00:39:01 She had a rough night, you know.
00:39:03 - Yeah.
00:39:05 (Hugh coughs)
00:39:08 - Hugh, old man.
00:39:09 Hugh.
00:39:11 I, uh-
00:39:12 - No, I'm not going out tonight.
00:39:14 You'll have to let your urges run wild somewhere else.
00:39:17 - No, it's not that.
00:39:19 You couldn't loan me 100 quid, could you?
00:39:22 - No.
00:39:23 What for?
00:39:25 - Well, I wanted to buy some warm weather clothes.
00:39:27 I've got an invitation.
00:39:28 - Where to?
00:39:29 - Well, this friend of mine has got a yacht
00:39:30 and he's cruising all around the Mediterranean.
00:39:32 - You mean you might be leaving?
00:39:34 - I'm afraid so.
00:39:35 I'm sorry.
00:39:36 - I'm gonna leave this blank.
00:39:39 Just fill it in for whatever you want.
00:39:41 - Oh, thank you.
00:39:43 I'll pay you back, of course.
00:39:44 - Anytime.
00:39:45 - Where's the best place to go?
00:39:47 - Well, I always go to Spindles in Knightsbridge.
00:39:50 - Oh, is Pogo gonna be proud of me?
00:39:53 - Who's Pogo?
00:39:54 - He's the guy with the yacht.
00:39:55 See ya.
00:39:56 (doorbell rings)
00:40:01 - Drummond?
00:40:04 Hello, John.
00:40:05 Where, the Panarabian oil building?
00:40:09 All right, I'll be there.
00:40:11 Bye.
00:40:12 (gasps)
00:40:24 - Hey, why don't you look where you're...
00:40:26 (dramatic music)
00:40:28 Well, excuse me.
00:40:32 Let me give you a hand.
00:40:34 - I'm terribly sorry.
00:40:35 - Oh, it's my fault, my fault.
00:40:37 - Thank you.
00:40:38 - Hey, is that yours or mine?
00:40:41 - It's mine.
00:40:43 Oh, no, no, it's not.
00:40:44 - Hey, I got a great idea.
00:40:47 My car's right here.
00:40:48 Why don't we just lump everything in the back
00:40:50 and go someplace where we can sort it out properly?
00:40:53 - What a lovely idea.
00:41:01 - My principal's proposal is a very simple one, gentlemen.
00:41:04 Your company would like to acquire the oil rights
00:41:08 in Akmata on a royalty basis.
00:41:10 - That is right.
00:41:11 - The new king, however, proposes to develop them himself,
00:41:14 actually in competition with your interest in that area.
00:41:18 My principal believes he can arrange for you
00:41:22 to be granted the rights within three months,
00:41:25 providing you pay him a fee of one million pounds.
00:41:29 (men chattering)
00:41:32 - Miss Ekman?
00:41:33 - Thank you.
00:41:35 My principal estimates the main Akmata field
00:41:38 will yield a minimum of 90,000,
00:41:41 and I repeat, 90,000 barrels a day.
00:41:44 - The first year's profits will not be less
00:41:47 than 12 million pounds,
00:41:49 with an expansion to adjacent fields.
00:41:51 As I said before, gentlemen--
00:41:52 - Is it as hard as that to get a concession in Akmata?
00:41:55 - I would have said impossible.
00:41:57 Every major company's after it,
00:41:58 but the king is determined to work the fields himself.
00:42:01 - Well, how's her boss think he's gonna get him
00:42:03 to change his mind?
00:42:04 - Heaven knows.
00:42:06 Short of bloodshed.
00:42:07 Of course, if someone should assassinate the king.
00:42:10 - What'd you say?
00:42:12 - I said if someone should assassinate the king.
00:42:14 - Assassinate the ruler,
00:42:15 and the Akmata concession is yours.
00:42:19 Assassinate the ruler and the Akmata concession.
00:42:24 Eat the ruler and the Ak.
00:42:27 - What are you raving about?
00:42:28 - Sorry, John, I think I just solved a problem.
00:42:33 - Mr. Weston?
00:42:34 - Miss Ekman, may I ask what guarantee we have
00:42:38 that your principal--
00:42:39 - Is that the Weston on your board?
00:42:41 - She sits on half a dozen boards.
00:42:42 He's a very good man.
00:42:43 - Well, he could soon be a very dead one.
00:42:46 Tell me, how can I have a look at this Ekman character?
00:42:49 - Well, I should think the best way
00:42:50 is to look through the door.
00:42:55 As I've said before, gentlemen,
00:42:57 the million pounds will only be payable
00:42:59 if my principal is successful in getting you what you want.
00:43:03 If he isn't, no fee.
00:43:04 Thank you, that is all I have to say today.
00:43:08 - When does the meeting break up?
00:43:09 - Oh, any time now.
00:43:11 - Can you get Weston in here?
00:43:12 - Well, I can try.
00:43:13 - It only remains for me to thank Miss Ekman
00:43:15 for coming to us with this very interesting proposition,
00:43:18 and to say that it'll get all our attention
00:43:21 and we'll communicate with her
00:43:23 when we have reached a decision.
00:43:25 - Will you excuse me?
00:43:26 Well, John, what's it all about?
00:43:36 - Look, Weston, a little friendly advice.
00:43:39 Stay clear of Ekman.
00:43:41 - What?
00:43:41 - If I were you, I'd choose my dinner companions
00:43:43 rather more carefully.
00:43:45 That is, unless you want to wind up
00:43:47 with something more painful than indigestion.
00:43:49 - What the devil's he talking about?
00:43:55 (dramatic music)
00:43:57 - Taxi!
00:44:07 (dramatic music)
00:44:09 (dramatic music)
00:44:12 (dramatic music)
00:44:15 (dramatic music)
00:44:36 (dramatic music)
00:44:38 - Oh, darling, it's me.
00:44:50 You mustn't go to sleep, you know.
00:44:53 We've so much to talk about, and do.
00:44:58 (dramatic music)
00:45:03 (dramatic music)
00:45:06 Oh, I like you, you know,
00:45:11 and I would much rather be nice to you,
00:45:14 but Ekman will be back soon,
00:45:17 and she will be absolutely livid if you haven't talked.
00:45:22 So be a good boy, please.
00:45:25 Tell me all about Carlogio and your uncle, hmm?
00:45:31 (Penelope gasps)
00:45:34 (dramatic music)
00:45:36 - That is a very untidy job, Penelope, very untidy.
00:46:01 Has he talked yet?
00:46:02 - He won't tell me anything.
00:46:04 - Of course not.
00:46:05 Now get dressed, we have to leave.
00:46:07 - Oh, what a shame.
00:46:08 Just as we were getting to know each other.
00:46:10 - Get dressed, I said, Penelope.
00:46:11 And I told you before not to wear my negligee.
00:46:15 - Oh, I didn't think you'd mind.
00:46:18 - I do mind.
00:46:19 (dramatic music)
00:46:22 (dramatic music)
00:46:25 - Hey, we're going to Soriano.
00:46:35 (Penelope grunts)
00:46:38 - Hello.
00:46:40 (horse hooves clopping)
00:46:44 (dramatic music)
00:46:50 - Now you have to hurry it up.
00:46:51 We have one more job to do before we catch the plane.
00:46:54 And that is mine too.
00:46:58 - Oh, sorry.
00:46:59 - Penelope, one of these days,
00:47:00 your light-fingered habits are going to get you
00:47:02 into deep trouble.
00:47:03 (dramatic music)
00:47:06 (dramatic music)
00:47:09 Come on now, quick.
00:47:28 (dramatic music)
00:47:30 (dramatic music)
00:47:33 (Penelope grunting)
00:47:58 - I didn't know you went in for this kind of thing, Robert.
00:48:00 (Penelope grunting)
00:48:03 Don't struggle, you'll choke yourself.
00:48:08 (Penelope grunting)
00:48:11 That's a nasty burn.
00:48:13 You really ought to learn how to control
00:48:14 your girlfriend, Zero.
00:48:15 That was my foot, you know.
00:48:23 (Penelope grunting)
00:48:27 That's interesting.
00:48:28 (Penelope grunting)
00:48:30 That's a time clock, you know.
00:48:31 (Penelope grunting)
00:48:34 Beautifully made, too.
00:48:37 - Now, here, let's have this off you.
00:48:43 - That's better.
00:48:47 - I don't think I'll ever forgive you for that.
00:48:50 - I'm asking gratitude for you.
00:48:52 After I saved your life.
00:48:53 - You didn't.
00:48:55 I died back there at five seconds to zero.
00:48:58 - You don't look too, huh?
00:48:59 I'll drop you at the hospital
00:49:00 and pick you up in half an hour.
00:49:02 - Where are you going?
00:49:04 - To see a chap called Weston.
00:49:06 When he gets himself killed.
00:49:07 Mr. Weston, please, it's very urgent.
00:49:17 - I'm sorry, Mr. Weston's engaged.
00:49:19 - Oh, foot, I say, that's very rude.
00:49:21 - Beckman.
00:49:22 (explosion booms)
00:49:25 - No, stay there.
00:49:32 Is this a warehouse?
00:49:33 - Yes.
00:49:34 - You better call the police.
00:49:37 (Penelope crying)
00:49:40 (bell ringing)
00:49:42 - By the time I got downstairs, they'd disappeared, of course.
00:49:59 - Well, they're pretty smooth operators, that's for sure.
00:50:02 What happens now?
00:50:03 - I'll bet for you.
00:50:05 Then you better tell me how to get in touch
00:50:06 with that friend of yours.
00:50:07 - Which friend?
00:50:08 - Banjo, or whatever you call him.
00:50:10 - Pogo.
00:50:11 What for?
00:50:12 - Well, we can't have you gallivanting
00:50:13 around the Mediterranean looking like that.
00:50:16 It'll scare the girls to death.
00:50:17 - Well, you can get in touch with him through the embassy.
00:50:20 - Which embassy?
00:50:21 - Acmata.
00:50:22 Just say you have a message for King Fedra.
00:50:24 - Pogo?
00:50:26 - Well, that's what we called him at Princeton.
00:50:28 - Tell me, where were you going to pick this yacht up?
00:50:31 - A place called Castellumale.
00:50:34 - That's where Wingard was killed.
00:50:37 - All right, my boy.
00:50:39 Castellumale it is.
00:50:40 (dramatic music)
00:50:43 - Would you enter, please?
00:50:45 You are fortunate, sir.
00:50:48 Very, very, very fortunate.
00:50:50 - We are very fortunate.
00:50:53 - It was rented for three months,
00:50:58 but the tenant had the slightly fatal accident.
00:51:01 Most unfortunate for him, but most fortunate for you,
00:51:04 because this desirable residence is now empty.
00:51:08 - What about that desirable residence?
00:51:10 - Ah, the castello.
00:51:12 (laughs)
00:51:12 Magnifico.
00:51:14 It belonged to Mr. Peterson.
00:51:17 Yes, Carl Peterson.
00:51:19 A very rich gentleman with many beautiful things.
00:51:23 And the ladies.
00:51:25 Mamma mia.
00:51:27 The ladies up there in the castello
00:51:30 are the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen.
00:51:34 - But on to business.
00:51:36 - You will see we are furnished in the grand style.
00:51:43 Everything of the best and almost new.
00:51:47 Now.
00:51:50 Oh.
00:51:52 Who did such a thing?
00:51:56 And why?
00:51:57 - No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:59 You can't stay here.
00:52:00 I will find something anywhere.
00:52:02 - I like it here.
00:52:02 - No, no, no.
00:52:03 - I want to stay here.
00:52:05 - You just have to--
00:52:06 - De molto buono.
00:52:06 - I see.
00:52:07 - Magnifico.
00:52:08 Now you find somebody to bring the bags up
00:52:11 and somebody to clean up.
00:52:12 And don't worry, I'm eminently satisfied.
00:52:14 (upbeat music)
00:52:17 - Charming, charming.
00:52:24 I'm glad we're eminently satisfied.
00:52:27 (gentle music)
00:52:30 - You recognize that?
00:52:35 - Ooh, vividly.
00:52:37 Penelope was here.
00:52:41 What were they looking for?
00:52:45 - Well, if you'd stolen a very valuable tape recording,
00:52:49 when you played it, there was a piece missing.
00:52:50 You want to find that piece, wouldn't you?
00:52:52 - Ah, "Ain't the Ruler in the Act."
00:52:54 - Right.
00:52:55 (birds chirping)
00:52:58 - It's a grim looking place, isn't it?
00:53:01 - Hmm, but interesting.
00:53:03 - Well, you bet.
00:53:04 All those beautiful girls?
00:53:06 - No, but whoever lives up there
00:53:08 has been watching us through a telescope
00:53:09 ever since we got here.
00:53:24 (dramatic music)
00:53:27 (dramatic music)
00:53:29 (dramatic music)
00:53:32 - Hey, Robert.
00:54:00 (dramatic music)
00:54:03 (speaking in foreign language)
00:54:05 - On your feet, man.
00:54:06 Salons are out of date.
00:54:07 (speaking in foreign language)
00:54:11 - Ah, you remembered.
00:54:18 - Well, welcome aboard, my brooker.
00:54:24 - Boy, this king business has really gone to your head.
00:54:27 Where's the harem?
00:54:28 - Oh, I didn't think there was a need for that.
00:54:30 - You didn't think what?
00:54:31 - Well, we managed all right
00:54:32 without a harem in America, didn't we?
00:54:35 (laughing)
00:54:36 - Yes, we did, Pogo.
00:54:38 Oh, excuse me, Pogo, this is my uncle, Hugh Drummond.
00:54:42 Hugh Pogo.
00:54:44 - How do you do, Mr. Drummond?
00:54:47 Robert's told me a great deal about you.
00:54:50 Your company insures our new airline, doesn't it?
00:54:52 - That's right, sir.
00:54:53 - We've struck oil, Mr. Drummond, a big field.
00:54:57 And all the oil companies in the world
00:54:58 are chasing after me for a deal.
00:55:00 But they're not going to get it.
00:55:02 Over my dead body.
00:55:05 - Some people seem to be taking that last remark
00:55:07 literally, sir.
00:55:08 - You mean it, don't you, Mr. Drummond?
00:55:11 - Yes, I do.
00:55:12 - I suppose it's possible.
00:55:14 We Middle Eastern monarchs seem to have
00:55:15 a pretty precarious existence.
00:55:17 - No point in shortening the odds, though.
00:55:20 - No, there isn't.
00:55:21 Are you talking generally or in particular?
00:55:24 - In particular.
00:55:25 - I see. When and where?
00:55:27 - I don't know that.
00:55:28 - Or how?
00:55:29 - That I don't know either.
00:55:30 But if past experience is anything to go by,
00:55:33 it'll be a well-contrived accident.
00:55:34 (dramatic music)
00:55:37 (car engine rumbling)
00:55:40 - Good afternoon. Mr. Drummond?
00:56:05 - Yes.
00:56:06 - Mr. Carl Peterson would be honored
00:56:08 if you'd have dinner with him at the castle this evening.
00:56:10 7.30?
00:56:11 - Tell Mr. Peterson I'd be delighted.
00:56:14 - What about Poco's party?
00:56:24 - Well, I'll have to give it a miss.
00:56:27 But you go and stick close to him, huh?
00:56:30 - With his traveling companions, that'll be a pleasure.
00:56:33 (dramatic music)
00:56:36 (horse whinnying)
00:57:04 - You're Robert Drummond, aren't you?
00:57:06 - I am.
00:57:07 - We're friends of Pogo's. He's giving a party.
00:57:09 He sent us both to fetch you.
00:57:11 - Did he now?
00:57:12 Hey, you, I'm going to the party.
00:57:14 - Hey, come on.
00:57:18 Aren't you coming?
00:57:19 - No, I'm afraid not.
00:57:21 - Oh, please.
00:57:22 - No, I get my clothes wet.
00:57:23 - Let's go.
00:57:26 (dramatic music)
00:57:29 (dramatic music)
00:57:32 (dramatic music)
00:57:35 (birds chirping)
00:57:53 (dramatic music)
00:58:02 (glass shattering)
00:58:05 (dogs barking)
00:58:31 (glass shattering)
00:58:34 - Welcome, Mr. Drummond.
00:58:48 (speaking in foreign language)
00:58:52 - I take it he gladies.
00:58:54 (speaking in foreign language)
00:58:58 - Mr. Drummond is here.
00:59:16 (speaking in foreign language)
00:59:21 (paper rustling)
00:59:25 - Hello, Drummond.
00:59:26 I thought you'd never get here.
00:59:29 - I would have been here sooner,
00:59:30 but I stayed in London for your cremation.
00:59:33 - I'll return the compliment.
00:59:34 I'll make a point of going to yours.
00:59:36 Mitsuko says that you speak very good Japanese.
00:59:41 You're a man of wide accomplishments, Drummond.
00:59:43 - And so are you, it seems, Weston.
00:59:45 Ah, Peterson.
00:59:47 Which is it?
00:59:48 - Peterson?
00:59:51 (paper rustling)
00:59:53 Carl Peterson.
00:59:55 - Weston's dead, long live Peterson, hmm?
00:59:57 By the way, who is dead?
01:00:01 That little man who worked for Wingard, Carlaggio?
01:00:05 - Mm-hmm.
01:00:06 Your health, Drummond.
01:00:09 It had occurred to me
01:00:15 that I might not be able to persuade you up here.
01:00:18 And then I reasoned that your curiosity
01:00:21 would probably get the better of your judgment.
01:00:23 - Well, you were right.
01:00:24 - I usually am.
01:00:25 - Doesn't it worry you that I might whip out a gun
01:00:28 and blow your block off?
01:00:30 - No.
01:00:31 In the first place, there's too much you want to know.
01:00:33 And in the second, you don't have a gun.
01:00:35 There's a metal detector just inside the front door,
01:00:39 which would have sounded an alarm if you'd been armed.
01:00:42 And anyway, our sort don't carry guns.
01:00:47 We use this to get what we want.
01:00:50 - And I assume you have got what you want.
01:00:53 - It is rather charming, isn't it?
01:00:56 - Oh, so cozy.
01:00:58 - You must allow me to show you the rest of it.
01:01:00 You will stay for the weekend, of course.
01:01:02 - No, I haven't brought my pajamas.
01:01:05 - My dear fellow, everything in this house
01:01:07 is yours for the asking, isn't it, Anna?
01:01:10 Yours for the asking, Drummond.
01:01:16 - Well, thanks a lot, but I prefer to roll my own.
01:01:19 (laughing)
01:01:21 (rain pattering)
01:01:24 This is what I like to call my operations room.
01:01:46 It's the nerve center of my organization.
01:01:48 I have others, of course,
01:01:51 but this is the one I choose to use at present.
01:01:54 - Mr. Peterson.
01:01:56 - Yes, Magda?
01:01:57 - The American stock has fallen two points.
01:02:00 Should we start buying soon?
01:02:04 - No, it'll drop another 10 tonight.
01:02:06 The president of the company
01:02:07 is due to commit suicide about now.
01:02:09 There's no better way of devaluing stock
01:02:13 than to have the president of the company
01:02:14 blow his brains out or crash his private aircraft.
01:02:18 - Ah, Keller.
01:02:19 Phoenician wanted an oil concession.
01:02:21 I got it for them, that's all.
01:02:23 Would you like to lead the way?
01:02:25 (punching)
01:02:34 Beauty and the beast, what?
01:02:38 Ooh!
01:02:43 You've met Grace, of course.
01:02:45 She's one of our new girls.
01:02:47 There are certain things they have to learn
01:02:48 before I send them out to work.
01:02:50 Chang there teaches them self-defense.
01:02:54 Chang, come and shake hands with Mr. Drummond.
01:03:12 (grunting)
01:03:15 Sorry if I upset the hired hand.
01:03:28 Even bad help is hard to come by these days.
01:03:31 Dinner in half an hour, Chang.
01:03:34 You'll join us, my dear.
01:03:36 We must arrange a proper match
01:03:39 between you and Chang someday.
01:03:41 He's a black belt, you know.
01:03:42 - Hmm, well, you better tell him to use it
01:03:44 to keep his pants up with, then.
01:03:46 - Interestingly lethal collection.
01:03:58 Like the young women you seem to have around here.
01:04:02 - My operations cover a wide sphere.
01:04:05 In Japan, I use Mitsuko.
01:04:07 Tanya and Remy are in Brazil just now.
01:04:10 Gerd is in Germany, and Anna here looks after India.
01:04:14 It really becomes quite difficult
01:04:15 to keep track of them all sometimes.
01:04:17 - Bet you'll manage.
01:04:18 (laughing)
01:04:20 - I can't tell you what a pleasure it is
01:04:22 to have someone to talk to again.
01:04:24 Someone outside my own circle, that is.
01:04:26 Your friend Wingard was the last.
01:04:29 Capital chess player, very intelligent man.
01:04:31 - Not intelligent enough, sir.
01:04:33 - On the contrary, like yourself, too intelligent.
01:04:38 He became inquisitive.
01:04:39 - Irritating.
01:04:40 - Well, it was a nuisance, you know.
01:04:43 But then it brought you here, so it has its compensations.
01:04:46 Oh, my dears.
01:04:49 Mr. Drummond, Miss Eckman.
01:04:53 - How do you do?
01:04:59 - And our little Penelope.
01:05:01 - Hello.
01:05:01 - Our little Penelope has already made contact
01:05:04 with my nephew.
01:05:06 Such a handsome young man.
01:05:08 - Yes, you made quite an impression on him, too.
01:05:11 - Really?
01:05:12 (clearing throat)
01:05:15 (laughing)
01:05:18 - You see, Drummond, in big business,
01:05:20 huge sums of money depend on the ability of one man.
01:05:23 Competitors fight in every way they know
01:05:25 to bring that man down.
01:05:27 They employ complicated and expensive methods.
01:05:31 Stock deals, market rigging, price cutting.
01:05:35 It never entered anyone's head
01:05:37 that there was a far simpler way
01:05:39 of getting what one wanted.
01:05:41 - Until you came along.
01:05:43 - My method is simplicity itself.
01:05:45 If a man stands in your way, dispose of that man.
01:05:49 - And how do you propose to dispose of King Federer?
01:05:52 - An accident, of course.
01:05:55 Shipboard explosion, all hands lost at sea,
01:05:57 splendid obituaries in the Times.
01:06:00 And I shall be a million pounds the richer.
01:06:04 - Eckman?
01:06:06 - Yes, Carl.
01:06:06 Now, Mr. Drummond, we must make sure
01:06:09 that nobody expects you home this evening.
01:06:11 Magda.
01:06:15 - Yes, Miss Eckman?
01:06:17 - Mr. Drummond would like to speak to his nephew
01:06:19 aboard the Royal Yacht.
01:06:21 - Yes, Miss Eckman?
01:06:22 - Make the call as simple as possible.
01:06:24 We can cut it off from here.
01:06:25 - Mr. Robert Drummond is waiting.
01:06:29 - Hello, Robert.
01:06:30 - Hi.
01:06:31 - Enjoying yourself?
01:06:32 - Oh, yes, swinging.
01:06:33 - Where are you speaking from?
01:06:35 - I'm up at the castle.
01:06:36 I've been invited to spend the weekend.
01:06:39 - Oh?
01:06:40 Is everything all right then?
01:06:41 - Oh, fine.
01:06:42 - Well, I think Pogo will probably be upset.
01:06:45 He took quite a shine to you.
01:06:46 - Well, people sometimes do.
01:06:49 Take care of yourself.
01:06:50 - Hello?
01:06:52 You?
01:06:53 - Chang, offer Mr. Drummond a cigar.
01:07:02 - Oh, let me.
01:07:03 - Hmm.
01:07:08 Corona, corona.
01:07:10 Now, I don't think I will.
01:07:13 My friends told me they're not very good for your health.
01:07:17 (laughing)
01:07:19 - I do like a man who can retain his sense of humor.
01:07:23 - It is rather comical, isn't it?
01:07:24 - What is?
01:07:25 - I mean, the whole thing.
01:07:27 The girls, the castle, Fu Manchu over there.
01:07:32 Even you, I suppose.
01:07:34 - My dears, Mr. Drummond is trying to provoke me.
01:07:41 - He can provoke me anytime.
01:07:47 - You always did have the morals of an alley cat, Penelope.
01:07:51 - Just because I like mine.
01:07:52 - No, dear, you like anything,
01:07:55 just as long as it isn't yours.
01:07:57 - I like what I--
01:07:58 (glass shattering)
01:08:01 - What exactly is it that you find so amusing?
01:08:06 - Oh, the whole thing's so theatrical, isn't it?
01:08:09 I mean, I grant the girls have got some conceivable purpose,
01:08:13 but what about old Fatso over there, Pifo?
01:08:17 - I advise you to be careful, Drummond.
01:08:19 Trans-English is very good.
01:08:21 - Well, that's more than I can say about his buttling.
01:08:24 He slops coffee in the saucer, he's ugly as sin,
01:08:28 and his breath smells like the bottom of a parrot cage.
01:08:31 - No, Chang!
01:08:32 (Chang grunts)
01:08:34 - I don't know what you hope to achieve by this, Drummond,
01:08:36 but I advise you to stop it.
01:08:38 - No, Carl, dear.
01:08:39 Let him go on, it should be rather amusing.
01:08:44 - And what about that ridiculous sword thing?
01:08:47 What's that for?
01:08:48 Picking those rotting teeth with?
01:08:50 (Carl grunts)
01:08:53 (glass shattering)
01:08:57 (Carl grunting)
01:08:59 - Round one to you.
01:09:23 The next is mine, I think.
01:09:26 - If they start letting fly with those things,
01:09:32 we'll all end up spattered over the furniture, Peterson.
01:09:35 - Now, you don't honestly think that you can fight your way
01:09:38 out of here armed with just that?
01:09:40 - I can make an impressive dent in your skull trying.
01:09:44 - I don't advise it.
01:09:45 (metal clanging)
01:09:51 - I'm always ready to take advice, a sensible decision.
01:09:56 And now, before tempers get frayed,
01:09:59 I think we all should be thinking of bed.
01:10:03 - I know someone who already is.
01:10:05 - Miss Eckman will see you to your room.
01:10:08 - Good night, Carl.
01:10:12 - Good night!
01:10:13 - Next time you're in London,
01:10:14 allow me to recommend you to a good dentist, huh?
01:10:18 (door opening)
01:10:21 (Carl sighing)
01:10:35 - A bit warm for you, is it?
01:10:36 Shall I open the window?
01:10:37 - Oh, I wouldn't do that.
01:10:39 It's electrified.
01:10:40 - Really?
01:10:41 (electricity buzzing)
01:10:46 Good heavens, you're absolutely right.
01:10:48 Most kind of you to have mentioned it, Miss Eckman.
01:10:50 - Well, I didn't want you to get killed, at least not yet.
01:10:54 - You're saving me for some wild little torture
01:10:57 of your own, huh?
01:10:58 - Not torture, I'm just rather soft-hearted.
01:11:02 And I want you to die happy, huh?
01:11:05 Do you mind?
01:11:08 - No, not at all.
01:11:09 The condemned man's going to have a hearty breakfast, is he?
01:11:14 - Well, I doubt very much whether you'll be with us
01:11:17 by breakfast, but could you pour me a glass of champagne,
01:11:21 please?
01:11:22 - All right.
01:11:25 - Thank you.
01:11:26 - Hmm, that nasty boyfriend of yours
01:11:34 has got expensive tastes.
01:11:37 - Why not?
01:11:38 He's not short of other people's money.
01:11:42 And besides, this nasty boyfriend of mine
01:11:46 takes only the best.
01:11:48 - Don't you?
01:11:50 Do you find me attractive?
01:11:55 Do you like my body?
01:12:01 - Well, it's not bad.
01:12:04 A little bit muscular, perhaps,
01:12:08 but then you've got to expect that
01:12:10 with the violent sort of exercise you take.
01:12:13 - To your health?
01:12:17 - Well, I don't know that's quite the appropriate toast
01:12:19 under the circumstances, unless...
01:12:22 Miss Eggman.
01:12:30 - Yes?
01:12:33 - Come and sit on the bed,
01:12:35 and let's have a friendly chat.
01:12:44 I'd like to get out of here.
01:12:47 - Hmm?
01:12:47 But I couldn't possibly.
01:12:50 Carl would kill me.
01:12:51 - No.
01:12:53 What if I was here to protect you?
01:12:56 Think of the wonderful times we could have together,
01:12:59 Miss Eggman.
01:13:00 Um, darling, by the way,
01:13:02 what is your first name?
01:13:07 - Emma.
01:13:08 - That's an absolutely super name.
01:13:14 And would you really take care of me?
01:13:17 - Day and night, especially at night.
01:13:20 After all, you'd have saved my life.
01:13:29 - Can you promise that everything will work out all right?
01:13:35 - Well, we can't but try.
01:13:37 Now, do you think we can do it?
01:13:43 - I'll tell you that later.
01:13:46 Now, don't talk anymore and kiss me.
01:13:49 - You know, this is ridiculous.
01:14:01 - What are you talking about?
01:14:03 - Well, with you, I'd never know whether I was gonna fall
01:14:08 from a high building or...
01:14:11 be beaten up by six or seven thugs
01:14:14 or have my head blown off by a corona corona.
01:14:18 - You don't trust me, huh?
01:14:21 - Sweetheart, I trust you.
01:14:23 About as much as a bad-tempered scorpion.
01:14:28 - So you better run and tell your boyfriend
01:14:36 that though I enjoyed his dinner,
01:14:38 I really couldn't face him.
01:14:41 - You couldn't face a dessert.
01:14:43 - You are unnatural.
01:14:55 - Hey, you forgot your pants.
01:15:01 - I'm sorry.
01:15:02 - Carl!
01:15:19 - Hello, dear, didn't you see come?
01:15:21 - I want to kill him, Carl, please.
01:15:23 - So you'll trial dear when I say so.
01:15:25 - This man is utterly and completely...
01:15:28 - Hello.
01:15:30 - Anything good on the telly?
01:15:32 You've got to admit, he's a dish.
01:15:37 - This is my lighter.
01:15:46 - Is it?
01:15:47 - Carl, I'm sick and tired of having her pick up
01:15:49 everything that takes her fancy.
01:15:50 Now, would you please tell this little...
01:15:52 - Now, just look at that.
01:15:54 (door slams)
01:15:57 - I've got to talk to you.
01:16:08 Please, you must listen to me.
01:16:09 - All right.
01:16:10 - I can't take any more of this.
01:16:13 - You should have thought of that before you came here.
01:16:14 - I didn't volunteer.
01:16:17 My father was a chemist.
01:16:18 Peterson tricked him, used him in a dope deal.
01:16:22 - And if you hadn't come here,
01:16:24 Peterson would have had him sent to prison, is that it?
01:16:26 - Not anymore.
01:16:27 - Why?
01:16:29 - My father died two weeks ago.
01:16:31 He killed himself.
01:16:33 - Can you phone out of here to my nephew?
01:16:39 - No, only Aikman and Peterson can use the phone.
01:16:43 - Better leave it with me.
01:16:47 And you better get out of here before they miss you.
01:16:51 - Our problem has always been to get close enough
01:16:54 to the King so that the bomb we use is 100% effective.
01:16:58 But with this new plastic explosive,
01:17:02 a few ounces of which could blow up this whole building,
01:17:05 and with grace, we have a solution.
01:17:08 (gasps)
01:17:13 I don't like changing plans, but this.
01:17:20 - Meet me in the laboratory in half an hour.
01:17:23 This needs a woman's touch.
01:17:25 - All right.
01:17:26 Me too.
01:17:29 - You make sure that Mr. Drummond gets a good night's sleep.
01:17:34 - The treatment.
01:17:35 - The treatment.
01:17:38 (dramatic music)
01:17:41 (dramatic music)
01:17:43 (dramatic music)
01:17:46 (dramatic music)
01:17:49 (dramatic music)

01:18:05 (dramatic music)
01:18:09 (dramatic music)
01:18:14 (dramatic music)
01:18:18 (dramatic music)
01:18:25 (dramatic music)
01:18:28 - Poor you.
01:18:55 (dramatic music)
01:18:58 (dramatic music)
01:19:16 (dramatic music)
01:19:18 - Good morning, Drummond.
01:19:33 Have a good night?
01:19:34 - It was a knockout.
01:19:36 - Uh-huh.
01:19:37 I debated whether I should allow you to awake at all,
01:19:40 but like all artists, I work better
01:19:42 when there's someone to appreciate what I'm doing.
01:19:45 - May I?
01:19:46 - Of course.
01:19:47 Your nephew seems to be enjoying himself.
01:19:52 - He has a great capacity for self-indulgence.
01:19:57 Unlike you, he'll grow out of it.
01:20:00 - I doubt if he'll have the time.
01:20:02 Now, how about a game of chess while we're waiting?
01:20:06 - What are we waiting for?
01:20:08 - 12 o'clock.
01:20:10 That's when, for the want of a better expression,
01:20:14 the balloon goes up.
01:20:15 One for me, one for you.
01:20:19 I'll set the board.
01:20:22 Black and white to opening positions.
01:20:28 (dramatic music)
01:20:32 The age of computers, Drummond.
01:20:39 (dramatic music)
01:20:41 (eerie music)
01:20:44, (static buzzing)
01:20:49 (gavel banging)
01:21:12 - Congratulations.
01:21:14 - Courtesy of a shipping company
01:21:15 that failed when its chairman died.
01:21:17 - Lost at sea, I doubt.
01:21:20 - Precisely.
01:21:22 Now, if you'd like to take white and open again,
01:21:24 just tell the computer the move you want to make
01:21:26 and it will do the rest.
01:21:28 King's pawn to king four.
01:21:33 (dramatic music)
01:21:36 (whistle blowing)
01:21:38 King's pawn gambit, orthodox reply.
01:21:42 King's pawn to king four.
01:21:43 (static buzzing)
01:21:47 (whistle blowing)
01:21:50 King's knight to king's bishop three.
01:21:54 (dramatic music)
01:21:58 (whistle blowing)
01:21:59 Where are your two little charmers this morning?
01:22:02 - In the village.
01:22:03 Queen's knight to queen's bishop three.
01:22:06 (dramatic music)
01:22:10 (whistle blowing)
01:22:12 - Queen's knight to queen's bishop three.
01:22:18 (dramatic music)
01:22:21 (whistle blowing)
01:22:27 Grace is with them.
01:22:28 She has the place of honor in this morning's business.
01:22:32 That surprises you after last night's cozy little scene
01:22:35 in the bathroom?
01:22:37 If it's any consolation to you, she meant what she said.
01:22:40 She's taking part in today's events without her knowledge.
01:22:44 King's knight to king's bishop three.
01:22:47 - Doesn't it worry you that she might object
01:22:50 when she finds out?
01:22:51 - When she finds out, it'll be too late.
01:22:55 She won't be there anymore.
01:22:57 Neither will King Ferdra nor the yacht,
01:23:00 nor I'm sorry to say your beloved nephew.
01:23:02 Just a great big hole in the water.
01:23:07 - I gather that Grace is carrying the bomb then.
01:23:10 - My dear Drummond, Grace is the bomb.
01:23:15 (people chattering)
01:23:18 - Hmm, I've always wanted a yacht like that.
01:23:20 Seems a pity to blow it up, doesn't it?
01:23:24 - If we don't get moving soon, it won't people on her.
01:23:28 - That's right.
01:23:29 Now Grace, you're a very lucky girl, you know.
01:23:35 Mr. Peterson doesn't usually give anyone a second chance,
01:23:38 so try to earn it.
01:23:41 Penelope and I are going to arrange about the explosives
01:23:47 and you stay here and watch the yacht, all right?
01:23:49 That's mine.
01:23:53 I meant what I said, darling,
01:23:57 so don't get any ideas about taking a walk, huh?
01:24:00 Is that clear?
01:24:03 - Clear.
01:24:04 - All right, come on.
01:24:07 - How can you be sure she will run?
01:24:19 - She'll run just as soon as she thinks
01:24:21 we're far enough away, don't you worry.
01:24:23 - Oh, beautiful.
01:24:24 - Yes, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
01:24:27 (people chattering)
01:24:30 - I'm sorry, miss, you cannot go aboard.
01:24:42 - I must.
01:24:43 - I'm sorry, but--
01:24:44 - I've got to see King Pedro or Robert Drummond.
01:24:45 - It's impossible.
01:24:46 (thudding)
01:24:49 - Mr. Dunn, friend of yours?
01:24:54 - Well, not yet, but I'm sure we can work out something.
01:24:57 - I've got to speak to you both.
01:24:58 It's about your uncle.
01:24:59 - Hello?
01:25:11 (horn honking)
01:25:15 Everybody safely aboard.
01:25:17 - Drummond, come here a minute, will you?
01:25:23 - Fuse has been successfully lit.
01:25:25 - Interesting to speculate just where on her person
01:25:34 you could possibly have hidden the bomb.
01:25:36 - Now isn't it just?
01:25:38 Your move, I think.
01:25:41 - Sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
01:25:43 - Of course it's true, every word of it.
01:25:45 Ekman and Penelope are arranging about the bomb right now.
01:25:48 - You've no idea what sort of a bomb?
01:25:50 - They wouldn't tell me.
01:25:52 - Let's assume for a moment what she says is true.
01:25:54 The question is, what do we do?
01:25:56 - Get the hell out of here before they come back.
01:25:59 - Right.
01:26:00 Captain!
01:26:01 - See you around, I hope.
01:26:02 - Hey, where are you going?
01:26:04 - Well, as long as we're believing her,
01:26:06 I'd better get up the castle and lend a hand.
01:26:08 - He strikes me as being extremely capable.
01:26:10 - Helpless as a babe without me around.
01:26:12 (chuckling)
01:26:14 (speaking in foreign language)
01:26:21 - They'll keep you from being lonely.
01:26:23 - Well, what about you?
01:26:25 - You must be joking.
01:26:28 - Tell me, how are you planning to dispose of me?
01:26:36 - Oh, an underwater swim.
01:26:38 Ekman, Penelope, and you.
01:26:40 The only trouble is that you've forgotten
01:26:42 to check your air tanks.
01:26:44 King's Bishop Pawn to King's Bishop Three.
01:26:50 (dramatic music)
01:26:53 - Come on, Drummond.
01:27:00 It's your move.
01:27:02 - Hmm?
01:27:03 - I said it was your move.
01:27:05 - Then I better make it.
01:27:07 (gun firing)

01:27:59 (Peterson yelping)
01:28:03 (Peterson yelling)
01:28:06 - Standard gambit.
01:28:07 Eliminate your opponent's knight.
01:28:09 Your move, Peterson.
01:28:11 Black Queen's knight is taken.
01:28:16 (dramatic music)
01:28:26 (gun firing)
01:28:28 (glass shattering)
01:28:39 (glass shattering)
01:28:53 White Queen's Bishop to Queen Two.
01:28:56 White King's Bishop's Pawn to King's Bishop Three.
01:29:04 That's six, Peterson.
01:29:07 You only get seven with a Beretta.
01:29:10 Black King's Bishop's Pawn to King's Bishop Four.
01:29:14 (dramatic music)

01:30:27 White Castle to King Four.
01:30:29 White Bishop to King Four.
01:30:31 Black King to King Four.
01:30:33 (glass shattering)
01:30:37 (Peterson yelling)
01:30:45 Checkmate.
01:30:52 (dramatic music)
01:30:54 (gun firing)
01:31:02 - Is this a private party or can anyone join in?
01:31:14 - Be my guest.
01:31:15 (dramatic music)
01:31:18 (horn honking)
01:31:20 - What shall I do with it?
01:31:27 - Nasty little girl.
01:31:28 Down the black hole.
01:31:30 (woman screaming)
01:31:35 Give me a hand with this, Bishop.
01:31:38 - It's heavy.
01:31:41 - Well, that ought to keep the little darlings quiet
01:31:43 for a while.
01:31:44 (dramatic music)
01:31:47 (phone ringing)
01:31:58 - Well, I'm glad to see that Grace
01:32:01 and the King are hitting it off.
01:32:03 - It must be her explosive personality.
01:32:06 (dramatic music)
01:32:09 - What's the time?
01:32:13 - Five to 12.
01:32:14 - We've got five minutes.
01:32:16 (growling)
01:32:19 (dramatic music)
01:32:25 (tires screeching)
01:32:37 (dramatic music)
01:32:40 (woman groaning)
01:32:46 - Hey, hey.
01:32:50 (dramatic music)
01:32:56 - Where is it?
01:33:00 Come on.
01:33:08 (dramatic music)
01:33:10 Come on, get going.
01:33:18 Cover them.
01:33:24 (dramatic music)
01:33:30 (gun firing)
01:33:32 (tires screeching)
01:33:35 - What's all this about, Mr. Drummond?
01:33:46 - This girl is due to blow up in about two minutes.
01:33:50 - So where is it?
01:33:53 - I don't know.
01:33:56 Honestly, I do.
01:33:58 - I do?
01:34:00 Lover?
01:34:01 - You won't get anything out of her.
01:34:02 Here, catch this.
01:34:04 Give me the other one.
01:34:06 No time for modesty.
01:34:12 (dramatic music)
01:34:15 (dramatic music)
01:34:18 - The women, they've got away.
01:34:38 - We'll worry about them later.
01:34:40 - Sorry about this, hope you can swim.
01:34:44 (water splashing)
01:34:47 - One, two, three, and up she goes.
01:34:51 - And up she goes.
01:34:52 - Incidentally, where was it?
01:34:56 - In her chignon.
01:34:58 - Chignon?
01:34:59 - Well, you know, her false hair piece up there.
01:35:02 Lover, wasn't it?
01:35:03 - It couldn't be.
01:35:04 It was nicer than mine, so I changed them over.
01:35:09 - Was it?
01:35:09 No!
01:35:11 I'm wearing it.
01:35:12 - You what?
01:35:13 (water splashing)
01:35:16 - That's what comes of letting success go to your head.
01:35:22 - Help!
01:35:25 Help, help!
01:35:28 - I'll go.
01:35:30 - No, I'll go.
01:35:31 - Help!
