Original subtitles

Bye.

With or without?

With, please.

Thank you.

What happened to the polo?

My two ponies took a fancy to one another and lost interest in the game.

Have you had a bath today?

About an hour ago. What had you in mind?

Oh, if you might like to take a Turkish one.

What? Oh, oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Here, here. Oh, um, no, you take that and I'll take that.

Regency Turkish bars.

Ladies only, Mondays and Thursdays. So urgent, why don't you go yourself?

Oh, there's Thursdays.

Precisely.

A woman died there last night and her name was Tu Xu Yong.

In common parents, that's known as beautiful evergreen of the house of two.

Died? How old was she?

Twenty -two.

And physically a Wong.

She suffocated in the steam cabinet.

That's impossible.

Quite.

What was Miss Two doing in London?

Ever come across imitation products?

Yes, you mean cigarette lighters, fountain pens, that sort of thing?

That's right, they're made in the Far East with a British trademark.

Now, the main job of imitation products is patent medicine, soap, cosmetics.

I expect you know that.

Willis Stockwood Pharmaceuticals Limited. Now, they make cosmetics,

cream, that sort of thing, under the brand name Lilt.

But they use their full company name, Willis Stockwood, for their patent

medicines. Stomach powders, cold cures, that sort of thing.

Now, here's one I expect you haven't seen.

What does the Arabic mean?

Exactly the same as an English, Lilt Complexion Cream. They design special

cartons and wrappers for their overseas market.

So this is for the North African and Middle East markets? Yeah.

Now, here's another one.

Lilt Complexion Cream.

Only the Lilt is built with a Y. Yeah, to get through their local copyright

laws. Where's it made?

Shanghai, Hong Kong, who knows?

But certainly not by Willie Sopwith.

Now, these Middle East traders, they can get ten times more profit than they

would as a legitimate article.

The British manufacturers brought down their prices. That might ease the

imitators out of the market.

Then I suppose price relates to quality.

Where did this, uh, this beautiful evergreen come in?

I think she was trying to find out how the imitators operate.

We don't know what Lee brought up from Hong Kong or who her contacts were.

I made an appointment for you.

I have to leave all your valuables in the locker, so should you have anything

your garter...

Leave it here.

Where will you be?

Glen Eagle?

I shall be commiserating with Woolies Sopwith Pharmaceuticals Limited on their

trade losses in the Middle East. Drive off.

See you at the 19th.

So you'll see Lilt Complexion Soap continues to hold its own against all

competitors.

But if we turn... turn our attention to our overseas sales...

The prospect is not so bright.

Despite protests to certain Middle Eastern countries, the open sale of

imitations of our goods increases at an alarming rate.

Mr John Steed, do you see him, sir?

Yes.

You can come this way, please, sir. Thank you very much.

Good morning. Give me those, will you? And sit down, please.

Mr. Steed of the Overseas Export Board. Is that right?

Yes. Have you any experience of Middle Eastern markets?

It's my particular province.

Especially the Prescott.

Yes, yes, quite.

What is it your people think they can do for us?

We thought we might start by making a thorough investigation of all the

complaints of the people who are most affected by the imitations.

Now, you're one of the worst hit companies.

We thought we'd start with you.

Well, don't you think your time would be better spent where the imitations are

on sale?

We'll get to that in due course.

But, for a start, we'd like some details from you to help us.

I'm sorry, would you like some coffee?

It's rather filthy.

Since you put it like that, no thank you.

Over the past five years, our sales have been dropping everywhere.

While the quality of the imitated wrappers and cartons becomes

better. We received a new one yesterday from our sales manager in Jordan.

Stomach powder carton.

And they're now using a cardboard identical to ours.

Really? Could I see a specimen?

Yes, yes, yes. It's with one of our analytical chemists at the moment.

Two years ago, we changed all our cartons.

But the imitators caught up with us within three months.

Oh, dear friend.

Can I have a word with you? This is Mr. Steed of the Overseas Export Board. This

is my father, the chairman of the company. How do you do? Was it

Only about that typist.

Miss, what's her name?

Miss Fox.

Miss Fox. I hear you've given her a week's notice.

I've told her time and again to clean the teeth of her typewriter after

stencils.

I will not have shoddy correspondence going out from this office. It creates a

bad impression.

No one will notice if a salesman's fingernails are clean, but everyone will

notice if they're dirty. I see. Now, Mr. Steed is here about the imitations.

Oh, really?

Have you any plans for stopping them? If we could get the imitators out of our

markets for just three months, I'm convinced that the customers would

sufficiently discerning to insist on the genuine product.

Now, with that in view, we've redesigned our entire range of wrappers, jackets,

cartons for the overseas market. That sounds a very good idea.

No doubt you would like to see the new designs. Thank you.

Jeffrey, I thought we were keeping them to ourselves for the moment. Mr. Steed

is here to help us.

You say you're keeping it to yourself. How many people know about it?

The designer, of course, but I know he's absolutely reliable.

The only other people apart from myself are my father and our secretary, Miss

Dowell. Now, when they get printed, it'll be behind locked doors.

So the first thing the imitators will know about them will be when they appear

on Middle Eastern markets. And I would have thought that that was going to do

it. That's a very, very pleasing design.

Let's hope you can keep it secret.

Oh, it's your telly. You'd better come in.

Have you got the photographs?

Yes, they're in here.

Yes.

These should be easy enough to reproduce.

Which letters do you want changed this time?

None. You reproduce them just like that.

What about the copyright laws?

When you start caring about the law, that'll be the day.

Just like that, do you understand? An exact replica.

And do you want to know why?

No.

How do you get this effect?

Sort of splash work? The girl leans against the sheet.

How do you get the paint on?

Off her. There's a tub full of paint in the next room. She swims around in it

first.

Ah. Here is my little mermaid.

I'm off.

Where?

You have finished, haven't you?

I said where?

To the Turkish bath. How else would I get all this paint off me?

Turkish bath, eh?

You say most of your customers are regular visitors here, eh? Yes. Once

start coming here, they like to drop in at least once a week.

But this Delmas, too, she wasn't a regular?

No, only saw her here once before.

Tell you a funny thing about her.

A pause literally ooze paint.

You mean make -up?

No, no, paint.

Like you paint a wall with or a picture.

All over her body.

First she'd use the shower.

Oh, the mess she made of it, too.

Then she'd get the rest of it out with a steam.

Wonder what some people get up to.

There you are, my dear. You're done.

Pity. Thank you.

There you have the full set of a black museum.

That's a very clever imitation. I must tell my people about it.

Come in.

Mr. Jeffery. Yes, Redwood.

Oh, Mr. Steve, Mr. Edwards.

How do you do?

We opened up the imitation carton we had from Jordan and found this.

Looks like a printer's trademark.

That's very clumsy of them.

May I?

Surely these could have been printed all over the world.

Yes, but I think the cardboard was made in Britain.

So, in fact, the carton itself could have been printed here. That's very

interesting. I intend to make a more thorough analysis of the cardboard. We

be able to trace who made it.

That mark might lead us to the printer who printed this.

Exactly, sir.

Concentrate on nothing else, Edward, and keep this strictly to yourself.

I've already told your father.

Oh, that's all right.

Well, I'd better be getting off to lunch. I've got an appointment.

Yes, of course. Will we see you here again?

In the course of time, you might let me know about the further analysis on that

car. Mm -hmm. We'll keep you informed.

Oh, I seem to have left my gloves in there.

I'll look for you.

Thank you.

all the time.

Hide him with me. I'll tell you what to say.

You found a printer's mark.

Well, that's for you to decide. I'll deal with my end.

What?

Murder's rather drastic, isn't it?

Good afternoon.

I have an appointment with Mr. Jeffrey Willett, Mrs. Gale. Oh, yes, Mrs. Gale.

I'll just see if he's back from lunch. One moment, please. Thank you.

Look.

Johnson, if you can't get them to meet our delivery dates, tell them we'll take

our business elsewhere.

All right, all right, do that. And call me back tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Mrs.

Gale is here to see you, sir.

Oh, yes, all right. In which case, I won't have time to cope with these. Put

MacGyver onto them.

And tell the advertising manager that I'd like him in this office at three o

'clock. If he's managed to get back from lunch, by then.

Very well, sir.

Mr. Willis is free now. Thank you.

Hello. How do you do? So nice of you to come.

Sit down, will you? Thank you.

Well, it isn't often we have the pleasure of buyers coming to us. More

it's the other way around.

Would you like a... No, thank you.

Now, I must say, I was very interested to read about your new branch in Cork.

Mr. Willis, I'm here under false pretenses.

Do go on.

I'm not a liar.

You see, my firm has been trying to get in touch with you for months.

But with an organization this size, I don't suppose our sales letters have

reached your desk. What is it you want to tell me?

Business efficiency.

Miss Dowell, Mrs. Gale is ready to leave now. Will you show her... She's been

studying some of your internal administration.

And it's our view that some aspects of it are not up to date with the 1960s.

really very busy.

These invoices of yours, for example, they require 23 % more typing than is

absolutely necessary.

But with a layout like this, as you can see, the customer's address need only be

typed once.

Where did you get this blank of our invoices?

Our business is efficiency.

Don't you think our redesigning is better?

I admire the way you got in to see me. I'll buy it.

That's only a beginning, Mr Willis.

Our firm does a complete job or nothing.

Yes, I thought you'd say that.

What's the deal?

I'd like a free run of your organisation.

Sales, accounts, production for a month.

Then we'll put up to you a completely objective recommendation for

reorganisation. Our fee is 1 ,000 guineas.

Miss Dowell, show Mrs Gale everything she wants to see.

Thank you.

Mrs. Gale, do you know why I'm hiring you?

Because I admire the way you got in to see me. You see, when my grandfather

started to make soap, that was how he got in to see his first client, by

pretending to be a buyer.

Actually, he mentioned it in a book he once wrote. The craft of salesmanship?

I found it fascinating.

What is it you wanted to see, Mrs. Gale? I'd like to see your order forms, memo

pads, all your internal prints, in fact. Yes, of course.

Would you come this way?

Thanks.

We keep a little of everything in here. The main bulk is in our stores on the

ground floor.

You'll find the light switch up there on the right. Thank you.

I hate getting up in a hurry.

You hate getting up, period. I can't think why you couldn't let me know last

night.

Oh!

Gotcha, sir.

My share's gone down to third day running.

Bad luck.

I'd known you were going to be in this sort of mood. I would have come round

last night.

I wish you had.

Do you think Edwards was on to something?

He was their analytical chemist.

He discovered a printer's trademark on that imitation fountain.

Who'd have told about it?

That's the whole point. Only myself and the Willie Sopwiths.

So one wonders who left Edward hanging in the cupboard.

The massage in the Turkish bath did something rather interesting.

You had massage as well?

Yes, it was only another 15 shillings. The radiant heat was a bit pricey,

though. Then, of course, there were the tips.

And naturally, I had to have my hair done afterwards.

I shouldn't think it had come to more than about 10 pounds, though.

Marvellous. Well, I think I'll sell my little shares now.

Anyway, she said to myself there that Miss Two's paws simply oozed paint.

Oh. And while I was there, another girl came in. Somebody I thought I'd

recognised. Who was she?

She was covered in paint, too.

A couple of years ago, everybody knew who she was. Look.

The little girl.

I shouldn't think it'd be difficult to get hold of her. Most models have

You look after her.

I've got an appointment with the Printers' Association.

If we can find out who uses that trademark, we're on our way.

I don't know how it happened.

Obviously, my trademark goes on everything I print, but not on the stuff

in here.

Don't you watch what you print? I can't have my eyes everywhere.

They must have put it on out of habit.

Well, just watch out it doesn't happen a second time.

Now, is this the artwork?

Yes.

Yes, that looks all right.

Have you got the photographs?

There they are.

Well, as that should do.

Everything's exactly the same, not one letter different.

But what happens if the real stuff's there first?

It won't be.

Willie's sup with pharmaceuticals are going to have printer trouble.

Yes, yes, thank you. Yes, I've got a note about it.

I'm sorry, where were we?

These salesmen's report sheets. I don't think all this information is necessary.

For example, the exact time he enters and leaves the shop.

Now, does anybody do anything with information like that?

Come in.

Excuse me, sir, but I thought you ought to know.

Leeds say they haven't started printing yet.

What?

Oh,

the memo must have gone astray somewhere.

When do we tell them to start printing?

Tuesday of last week. Well, get a copy of the memo straight off to them by

Telex. Has my father come in yet? Yes, sir. Tell him I want to see him, please.

Another thing I'd like to discuss with you is the overlap of responsibilities.

Oh, that certainly doesn't apply here. The matter's simply solved by my doing

all the work.

See, my father, when he drops in, concerns himself solely with our

and with our typists, and not necessarily even in that order of

Now then, you were talking about the Stokeman's report.

I believe you wanted me. Speak of the devil.

Yes, I wanted to see you about something important.

Oh, this is Mrs. Gale. She's doing a business efficiency job for us. How do

do? I'm delighted to meet you.

I've had some ideas myself for increasing efficiency around here.

Not that my son would be interested in any ideas of mine. I apologize for these

interruptions, Mrs. Gale, but I would like to have a word with my father.

you mind waiting in his office, please? Very cool.

Now, father, if you would bear a moment.

Shall we talk business?

Oh, I'm sorry. I was asked to wait in here a few minutes. Oh, that's all

You don't work here, do you?

Only as a consultant.

I thought I didn't recognize you.

Funny, I thought I knew you.

Oh, that's bad.

Faces wear out quickly in my work.

Of course, you were the lilt girl, weren't you? That's right. It was the

thing that ever happened to me. Once you get identified with one product like

that, no one wants to use you anymore.

What are you doing now?

Oh, I still do a bit of modeling.

That's me up there, believe it or not.

Yes. That's all right.

You'll start printing tomorrow morning, as soon as the new card's delivered.

He looked where?

The reading room.

No, I don't suppose he would be there. All right, thank you.

Thank

you.

Oh, there you are. I just called your club.

I've been visiting a printer.

Have a look at that. It's the latest Willis Stockworth design.

Now, only their printers are supposed to know about it, but I got that from

another printer.

And it's an exact replica. He's all tooled up to make it at the Willis

Stockworth Garden.

And even in Timbuktu, they'd run into copyright trouble if they tried to use

this. Any news about the Lilt girl?

Yes, she's the current girlfriend of John Willis, the company chairman.

When she's not out spending his money, she models for an action painter.

Who provides the action?

That's his name and address.

I think I'll go and see him.

Aren't you going to eat first?

Breaking and entering better on an empty stomach.

You're the expert.

Can you read Arabic?

No, but I know somebody who does.

Good. Get around here as soon as you can tonight.

We come back here, I thought we were going to that new club.

Business before pleasure.

Well, you better all come in.

All right, Faye, you better get us a drink.

Well, come on, show me.

An exact replica.

Can you start printing tomorrow?

Yeah. All right. As soon as you've got something to show in color, I want

specimens around here.

Why all the hurry?

Because this time we're working for somebody else and the game's going to be

played a different way. And are you going to make more out of it this

way? Honey, I'm going to be rich. Oh, it sounds intriguing. Tell me more.

You ever heard of Karim? Karim?

Who's she?

You're very funny.

It's a small country the size of a postage stamp.

And it's not worth much more.

That is, until oil was found there.

What's Dominic Fowler got to do with it? The natives buy British because Carrham

used to be a British protectorate until we gave it independence.

The king is pro -British and so is his cabinet.

Another country, which shall be nameless, also wants the oil concession.

Certain politicians want the certain other country to get the concession.

And the way they intend to do it is to make the mass of people anti -British.

And the way they're going to set about it is to sell imitated British goods

as stomach powder and other medical products.

Only instead of stomach powder, it'll be poison.

The result?

A few thousand caramags back the dust.

And those that are left, pull down the Union Jack.

But some of the people who die might be children.

They should worry.

In a dump like that, they're only going to be hungry all their lives anyway.

Where are you going?

Home. I thought you said you wanted to go to a club. Not in your kind of money.

My money is as pure as driven snow.

The blood money doesn't arrive until tomorrow.

Get me another drink.

Miss Dower, where will I find the dispatch department?

Take the lift to the basement and turn right through the double door. Right,

thank you.

Hello?

Oh, yes, I'm sure Mr. Jeffrey will speak to you.

Yes, would you hold on a minute? I'll put you through.

Is Ferguson's buyer on the phone, Mr. Jeffrey?

Is Mr. John Willerton?

Yes, he is.

But he's not... Is he all right?

Make the pleasure.

Let me take your coat.

Darling, I had to see you. I rang you at home and you'd already left. Well,

we're having a shareholders meeting soon.

What can I do for you? I want to talk to you about people who imitate the things

you make.

How did you know anything about that? I know everything about it. And you're the

only person I can talk to.

Well, perhaps you'd better tell me what you know.

This time they're not doing it just to do you out of business. They're going to

kill thousands of people.

Mr. Jeffrey available?

I'm sure you'll see you, Mr. Thief.

Mr. Thief to see you, sir.

Oh, yes. Show him in, please.

Excuse me, Mr. Jeffrey.

I'm afraid I've got rather a headache coming on.

Would it be all right if I took some time off to get some fresh air?

Of course.

And if you don't feel better, take the rest of the day off. Thank you.

She's been with me for seven years, and this is the first time she's ever asked

for time off.

My goodness me, you're very fortunate. They're hard to find a healthy guy.

Mr. Willis, have you any other ideas as to why Edwards did it?

Well, according to my personnel manager, it had a lot of trouble at home.

Let's strike this off.

Edwards was a scientist with many other means at his disposal.

He should choose to hang himself in a stationary car.

I don't know. He'd just found that printer's trademark.

That trademark could lead us to whoever is imitating your product. Someone had

to stop him.

Oh, you think he was murdered?

I do.

Well, I don't know that I'm the best person for you to talk to about it, Fay.

You mean you're not going to do anything? I didn't say that.

It's just that... Well, I'll... I'll have to think about it.

This painter chap, why did he tell you all this?

I can't think why you told her all that.

I don't think we should ever have employed you. Now, listen, I've been

useful to you. Yes, but you wouldn't have any of this if it wasn't for us.

And you won't keep it if you go on talking so much. All right, all right.

what do you want me to do?

Look up a few telephone numbers in that little black book of yours.

And see if you can find a new girlfriend for Mr. John Willis.

Because he's going to need one.

Good to see you, that door.

Do you usually help yourself to up a lot of money?

The petty cash is gone.

Now I expect a burglar.

What are you doing here?

friends they were.

Not mine.

You have to go to your local butcher.

Need more than eye shadow than that in a couple of hours.

Oh, what happened?

Just an accident.

Oh, dear.

Well, sit down, Mrs. Gale. I'll be with you in a minute. Thank you.

I just dropped in to say we're going to start preparing your draft report now,

so I won't be getting under your feet for the next few days.

Oh, I'll miss you.

Well, I'll be very interested to see what you have to say. You probably found

plenty of dead wood to cut away from this organisation.

No, I'd say you were fairly well up to date in most departments.

I should think our chief criticism is going to be the amount of work that

on your shoulders.

Yes, well, I'm afraid that just can't be helped. My father shows no interest

anymore.

Oh, sorry.

I thought you were alone. Well, Mrs Gale's just going. Was it personal?

Not necessarily.

Mr Steed, where can I get hold of him?

I can't find this overseas export board in the telephone book. No, it's a new

government department.

But, um, I think he'll be coming in sometime today. What did you want to see

about? Oh, nothing really.

I shall be in most of the day if you want me. I just wanted to have a little

chat with him.

That's all right.

Now, if Mr. T comes in today, tell him I want to see him.

Urgently.

Absolutely fascinating.

The impetus that you throw into your work.

Yes, well, not everybody appreciates that.

I mean, if you haven't been three years at an art school, you're nothing.

You're not carnated.

You're not embodied.

Do you know what I mean?

Carnated, exactly.

And my people, they're simple people. You know, they don't subscribe to these

prejudices. They want me to be able to reassure them that your work is genuine

expressionism. And not, how shall I put it, just a... A novelty.

Exactly. If I were not only to make money, I would have switched over to

formalism, wouldn't I?

Instead of having to find other sources of income because my art doesn't pay.

Your other sources of income appear to be fairly lucrative.

Just who are your people?

What Lord Beaverbrook is to New Brunswick, I am to Reykjavik.

A work of dedication.

Do you use a model, or is all this inspired from within?

I use a model, yes.

In fact, up until yesterday, I had a very intelligent girl working for me.

You see, with my kind of work, you need two intelligences flowing together.

Two intelligences?

You say you had a model, eh? Yes, well, she's not working for me anymore.

You could say I'm in the market for another girl.

Extraordinary. I met a model coming down on the boat.

Right down from the Arctic.

Called her Miss Snow Queen.

She wanted work. Name was Catherine.

She sounds fascinating.

You mean that?

Good.

She must have, uh, flavor.

Flavor? Yes, that I do insist on.

Well, I suppose she has flavor. I thought of her in that light.

She's a very elegant young lady. If so, totally a little, uh...

Have on guardian.

All the same, we all have our own little foibles, don't we? We do indeed.

Don't you worry, Mr. Leeson.

I'll get your pictures shown for you. Our people make you the toast of

Reykjavik.

Send the little lady round, eh?

Yes.

Do that, Mr.

Steed.

Where's my son?

I'm afraid I don't know, sir.

Is there something I can do? No, thank you. It was private.

When's Mr. Steed arriving?

You wanted me? Oh, yes.

I'll tell Mr. Jeffrey that you're here. Thank you very much.

Mr. Steed, I want to talk to you.

A friend of mine has disappeared.

She was supposed to meet me late last night at my house. Since then, I've

telephoned her flat several times. I'm sorry you're missing people. You're a

to the police.

Now, but I think this may concern you.

You see, yesterday, she told me something of the people who are

product.

I see. You'd better tell me everything you know. Come into my office.

What's her name?

I'm afraid I can't disclose that, Mr. Steed. You see, our relationship is

intimate. If you want me to help you, you must tell me everything you know.

What do you mean, she got away?

Well, listen, you were supposed to keep her there until we had time to question

her. Now, if she's got out, that's your problem. Now, find her.

Mr. Leeson?

Yes. I understand you're looking for a model.

I'm looking for a model.

My name's Catherine Gale. Mr. Steve said I might come and talk to you. Oh, yes,

the buyer from Reykjavik.

Yes. Well, you'd better come in.

Thank you.

The fascinating room.

Have you ever modelled before, Cathy?

Yes, but not for some time, I must admit.

Enjoyable work is hard to come by these days.

There are so few good artists now.

Well, I'll get you a drink and then I'll put you in the picture.

What do you know about Beeson?

Very little.

Fay used to model for him occasionally.

I don't know why. She didn't have to. I always gave her everything she wanted.

Then why did you go there? Was she having an affair with him?

I don't think so.

Despite the difference in our ages, I believe she's genuinely fond of me.

I think you're only interested in getting your girlfriend back.

You're not telling me everything you know. No, no, you don't understand. If

find out that Faye told you about Leeson, you'll both be in danger.

Danger?

I don't want anything to happen to her.

I'm afraid it may be too late to be concerned for her.

Very well. What do you want to do? Mr. Steve?

Somebody's been sending information out of these offices, haven't they? I

believe so.

I want you to tell me who it is.

Oh, Mr. Jeffrey.

Mr. Steve is here.

He's talking to your father.

Thank you.

And, Mr. Jeffrey, I'm afraid I've got another headache coming on.

Oh, dear.

We'd better get some fresh air then, wouldn't you?

Nasty things, headaches.

I get ideas suddenly, like electric shocks.

And I see all the world in different forms.

A bicycle chain, a woman's scarf, a broken belt.

And I try and get all these things into a collage.

The whole world in a frame.

What's this?

This is another and most important form of my self -expression.

This is where you come in.

The model is terribly important in this kind of work.

The oils and the quality of the skin must be simpatico.

Otherwise, the whole thing is disaster.

Yes.

It may well be.

You'll hardly learn anything about business efficiency here, Mrs. Gale.

You come to roll in the oils as well, Miss Dowell?

I'm here on business.

Then I'll leave you to talk.

Let him go, Mrs. Gale.

It's all right. I've just turned it off from outside.

So no one will hear us.

Hear us?

I couldn't find one with a silencer.

Oh, dear, what a pity.

I could.

Don't you think it would be a good idea to be sober when he gets here? Miss

Dahl, I'm celebrating.

Don't you ever celebrate?

Well, I don't count my chickens, if that's what you mean. Wouldn't you like

a little something?

You'll need to be fortified when they start asking you questions.

Answer that.

Who's she?

An uninvited guest.

Oh? Not that you're really interested.

You just want to know where the money is, only you don't like to ask. Isn't

right? No.

Where is the money, Miss Dahl?

It'll be here soon.

I don't think Taylor ought to get in it.

After all, he's been a very naughty boy, letting Fay run away like that. Oh,

shut up.

Have you got the carton?

Yes, here you are.

Would you like a drink?

No, he does not want a drink.

And neither do you.

Oh, all right. We'll all be miserable together.

Where did you get this?

What's the matter with it? It's an exact replica, just like you said.

Do you know what this Arabic means?

Of course not.

Well, I do.

Poison. This is an imitation.

Danger of instant death.

They must have switched the printing place.

Probably at the same time they found Fay.

How many of these have you printed?

About 20 ,000.

They've already been shipped out, too.

What? Oh, you have been a naughty boy.

There's nothing to joke about.

The man we work for doesn't tolerate mistakes.

He's not been very impressed with your work recently.

If anything else goes wrong, we shall all be in trouble. Well, then let's get

out of here. How can we?

He has the money.

Just a minute.

Don't tell me this man can read Arabic, too. So why don't we wait till he shows

up and take our money and then go?

Yes, he'll be none the wiser. We could be out of the country before he finds

out. No.

I've got a better idea than that.

When he gets here, he'll have collected the money from the embassy.

So he'll have his share with him as well as ours.

If we want any real money, we must take everything.

What do you mean?

We'll shoot him.

And then we'll plant the gun and some money on Mrs. Gale.

We're on the fourth floor here, aren't we? Yes.

When the police find her, they'll think that she shot him and then fell, trying

to escape.

I don't like it. Oh, shut up. Why should it worry you?

You don't even know this man.

All you have to do is to open the door to him.

Leeson and I will do everything else.

He'll be here in a minute.

Come on.

Come and give me a hand.

That'll be him.

Quickly, come on.

Yes, of course. Please come in.

Thank you very much. I came by the picture I was buying.

Oh, I see.

Well, I'm afraid Mr. Leeson might be quite some time. Perhaps you could call

back later. Not to worry. I'm very happy to wait for him.

A very pleasing vista.

Peace for the eye.

All right, over there.

You do very well with your hands tied behind your back and a patch over one

There you are, Thompson.

That'll stand you in good stead for the journey, won't it?

Will you thank John for letting me stay here? He's been more than kind. Yes, of

course. What time's your plane go? 2 .15.

He should have been here by now.

Hello?

Oh, thank you, Parkins.

Your taxi's here.

Thanks. I do hope the job goes well.

I love Paris. It'll be nice to get back to work again.

Hello, John.

Just off, my dear?

Yes. Thank you for everything.

My pleasure.

Goodbye.

Bon voyage, Samson.

Four. Come along, come along.

The clubs are in the car.

What enthusiasm.

I've reduced my handicap to 24.

That's good.

What's yours?

Twelve.

Twelve? Yes, but I have got another handicap.

Oh, that might bring us up to par.
