Thank you for watching.

Am I?

Yes. A wireless message for you,
monsieur. It has just come through.

Thank you.

I must talk to the captain.

You must. We are through. No one is
allowed to run in the palace.

I don't understand.

It's a matter of life and death.

You might try to calm down. Go back to
your seat. I'll ask the captain to come

and see you there.

I'm not going back to my seat. I'm not
going back. You might try to be

reasonable. I must speak to the captain.

Well, there you go. Take a look.

Take a look.

Take a look. Take a look. Take a look.
Take a look. Take a look. Take a look.

Well, it seems harmless enough to me.
Something about something not meeting

Well, Mr. Meyer, what's the trouble?

I told you.

I'm about to talk to the captain at
once. You can't talk to the captain just

like that, you know. For heaven's sake,
don't you realize?

All right, all right.

Now, go back to your seat, and I'll get
him to come to you just as soon as he

can. But you don't understand.

Oh.

Hey. Captain.

Robert. What's going on? This is Mr.
Meyer, sir. It seems he wants to talk to

you.

So I gather.

All right, you take over.

All right, Jeanette, you carry on.

It's all right.

I'm not armed.

It's all manatee, monsieur. If you push
your way into the captain's cabin, you

must expect it.

Now, sir, what exactly is the matter? We
had this wireless message... All right,

all right, let him tell me.

Well, monsieur?

Someone is going to kill me.

Sitting across from Mr. Meyer. Oh, yes.

Monsieur... Manning.

Is there anything I can do to help, I
mean? I'm sure the captain can deal with

it. Well, I only thought about... I'll
serve another cup of coffee in a moment.

It will calm us all down before we land.

You took yours flat, didn't you?

How clever of you to remember.

Mademoiselle... Charlie.

Cigarette?

Do you live in Marseille?

A few kilometres away.

I'm going to be in Marseille several
days on business.

Really, monsieur?

How nice.

You must forgive me, monsieur, if I do
not seem to take you very seriously.

But you say someone is going to kill
you, and yet you have no idea who or

Please, captain.

All I want is to be allowed to stay in a
cabin with you where I'm safe.

Oh, really? This nonsense has gone on
long enough. Look, I'm afraid it's quite

impossible. I won't give you the
problem. I promise.

Look, we'll be landing at Marseille in
half an hour. Now, why don't you go back

to your seat?

That's what they all say.

But you must let me stay here.

He can't reach me here. But who can't
reach you?

I'll tell you.

I don't know, but he's going to kill me.
Please, Captain, let me stay.

Please.

What is it? My heart. My heart, it's not
good.

And all this excitement.

Please, Captain, let me stay.

Maya, you drop this just now outside the
door.

What's the matter now?

It's nothing.

I feel a bit faint. That is all.

You... You will let me stay?

Oh, dear.

What's wrong with the man?

Oh, heavens knows.

Captain, I'm just about to serve another
cup of coffee. Shall I help Mr. Meyer

back to his seat?

I'll let him stay where he is for a
while. Bring this coffee in here.

He's ill.

Crazy, I shouldn't wonder.

Robert, keep an eye on him. If he does
start any trouble, at least we'll be

ready for him, right? Yes, sir.

Good morning.

What's so urgent that you must telephone
me in the middle of the night to get me

here? I'm meeting the plane from
Tripoli. There's a man on board called

Now, he's got a package.

He's going to give me that package, and
I'm going to take it to London.

Really? What's in the package?

I don't know.

Typical.

Hey, hold on. Where are you going?

Back to Toulon. No, but you don't
understand.

Whatever's in the packet, it is
absolutely vital that I get hold of it.

don't, well, governments will fall.
Chaos will ensue.

How can you possibly say that if you
don't know what's in it?

Well, it's some sort of sixth sense, you
know.

You would get it in my job, and I got it
at the briefing this morning.

All right, but I must be back in Toulon
by midday. You will.

What are you doing there?

Seeing some friends.

Oh, party?

Not quite.

And who are they?

They're from the Kwarnajar province in
Borneo. Where?

Kwarnajar. Oh.

That boy died of malnutrition when he
was four.

Many of them don't even reach that age.

They're sending out a medical
expedition, and they thought I might be

I was there last year. Oh, I see.

Do you? Yeah, of course I do. Now, the
plane will be here in 20 minutes.

Maya needs help. Someone's after him,
trying to kill him.

He's made a detour of over a thousand
miles to try and avoid them, but without

any luck. What do you want me to do?

I want you to take him to a special
rendezvous outside Marseille. Now, he'll

tell you where.

I'll meet the plane and send him
straight out to you.

Why don't you just put him in a cab?

It's not just a fast driver. We want to
get him away, yes.

But the chances are that they'll think
that he still has a package.

You've got it all worked out, haven't
you?

exactly do you fit in?

I'm going to take the package to London.

Unless, of course, you'd... I've already
told you. I'm committed.

Oh, yes.

Kwanakoa. Oh, whatever its name is.

Well, that's lucky I got hold of you.

That's a matter of opinion.

Good morning, Lieutenant.

How's the hangover this morning?

You ought to give it up, you know.

Working, I mean.

What does that hovel of a hotel pay you,
eh? I get paid on commission.

On commission?

And how many bookings have you got this
week?

Lieutenant, how about a cash feast, eh?

They say it makes the hair grow.

Hello, Curly.

What's up?

Plenty. And stop calling me Curly. All
right, keep your hair on.

Oh, Pierre.

The treatment's doing it good, isn't it?
So it should, at 25 francs a time.

It's all fluffy. It's more than that.
Come on, Pierre, it's your move.

You two seem so intent on your game, I
won't bother you with the news. What

news? Blame from Tripoli.

Check on a five, what about her?

Trouble aboard.

One of the passengers.

Oh, good. What sort of trouble?

I've been detailed to get two men and
stand by on the runway.

She must be on schedule or control with
the phone this year.

That means she'll be here in nine... No,
ten minutes?

Come on, Pierre. We'd better stand by.

Well, who knows?

Come on, Laurie, let's have one. No,
Jacques.

Oh, come on. Just one. No. I think
you've had enough already.

Well, at least pass the bottle over.
Let's smell the call.

Oh, Jacques, why can't you stop?

Why don't you try?

I do try.

You're an educated man. You shouldn't be
touting for a third -rate hotel.

Oh, for heaven's sake, stop preaching.

I'm sorry, Jacques.

Sweet black and white.

See to the passengers, Jeanette. We're
joining the circuit.

Robert, don't take your eyes off Maya.

All right, sir.

Five minutes to go.

Oh, I've got something for you.

A little present.

It may come in handy.

Shanty for what?

I'll show you.

It breaks this way.

Ah, des penseurs. How fascinating.

Yes, isn't it?

If Marie Antoinette had had one of
those, the Bastille might never have

Marie Antoinette was never in the
Bastille.

Those ten rounds, .22.

Where are they?

Oh, the bullets. Here.

There they are. Silly of me.

Thank you.

They were used at one time by the ladies
of Paris to defend themselves.

Yeah, I'd better go. And keep your eye
glued on that entrance. I'll send him

as soon as possible. What's it look
like?

It might help, mind it.

Stocky, grey -haired, glasses, Austrian.

I don't think he'll miss you.

Hold it while I...

Air Sue wishes to announce the arrival
of flight 118 from Tripoli, Sfax, Tunis,

Beserta and Cagliari.

With passengers for onward flight to
Madrid, Lisbon, Morley, London and

Munich, please wait in the passenger
hall after clearance from Castles.

Air Sue announces the arrival of flight
118 from Tripoli.

Are they still in customs, do you know?
Yeah, I think so.

Terrible bore hanging about an airport,
isn't it? Yes, yes, it is.

Would you like a cigarette?

Oh, we've got one.

Usually on time.

Have you seen the new airport in New
York? No, no. Not the old one, the new

Funny thing, dear old London building
her new airport before New York.

Very interesting, I'm sure.

Waiting for someone?

Yes.

Girlfriend?

Yes.

Oh, lucky fellow.

Excuse me, monsieur. May I recommend a
very good hotel? It's just been

modernized. It's very, very central.

Monsieur, please take the card. It's
very central. Highly recommended.

Madame, please take this card. It's a
very, very good hotel. It's highly

recommended.

Yes, excuse me.

Were you on the plane from Tripoli?

Yes, sir.

Was there a man called Meyer on board?

Yes, sir. Are you waiting for him? Yes,
I'm a friend of his. Oh, Mr. Meyer's

just coming, sir. He's with Captain
Legros and a member of the airport

Police? Yes, monsieur, police.

That's been a pretty hectic flight for
you.

Oh, I shall be glad to get home.

Oh, well, perhaps you'll allow me to
give you a lift to my car. There's one

to meet me.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Manning. Paul,
please.

Janet, I'll just go make my report. All
right, where shall I meet you? Gate

three. One below.

Get him through here.

He's not a bad mask. Get him on here.

That's it. Gently.

Gently.

Get his legs up.

Stand back, please. Well, I'm a friend
of his. Don't crowd around. Please, give

him room.

Laurie, Cognac, stand back there.

Get the doctor. May I help? No, thank
you, sir. Stand away, please.

Oh, good.

What happened?

I don't know. He was behaving very
strangely on the plane.

What do you mean?

Well, he pushed his way into my cabin
and said someone was trying to kill him.

He's a sick man.

Oh, let me talk to him.

Where's that Richard doctor?

Higher. Higher. This has stayed.

The package.

Where is it?

How is he?

He's dead.

Dead?

Ollie, take charge here.

May I have a word with you, please,
monsieur?

Certainly, yes.

May I see your passport, please,
monsieur? My passport?

You were a witness, monsieur.

Apparently, you knew the dead man. It
would be useful to have your name in the

event of any further inquiry.

Oh, by all means.

Monsieur John Steed. Five Westerns to
Mews London.

Thank you very much, Lieutenant.

You are in France on business, Monsieur
Steed?

Yes, sir.

How well did you know Monsieur Meyer?

Oh, we met from time to time, you know,
on business.

Was it you, by any chance, who sent him
a wireless message during the flight?

Yes, I did. Why?

Captain Legros says that it was after he
received this message that Monsieur

Meyer became extremely upset.

Oh, that's hardly my fault, is it? Oh,
no, no, no. But apparently it was

something to the effect that you would
not be able to meet him. Is that right?

Quite right, yes. I thought I wouldn't
be able to meet him. After all, it's not

the most convenient time in the world
for business meetings, eh?

Exactly. And yet, here you are.

What made you change your mind?

Oh, now, look here, Lieutenant. This is
no time for interrogations. Oh, no, no,

not at all.

A man died.

I have a report to fill in. That is all.

Yes, you're quite right. I was at a
party. I thought I might as well meet

after all. It seemed a kindly sort of
thing to do, you know. Yes, I

monsieur. Oh, well, then that's quite
all right. Thank you very much,

lieutenant.

Thank you.

Oh, I can pick... Monsieur?

About his luggage. Do you know what
happened to it? His luggage, monsieur?

Well, he did have some luggage, didn't
he?

We haven't found any aboard the plane.

Not even a briefcase?

Ah, yes, yes, I believe he did have a
briefcase. That's more like it. You see,

there's some very important business
papers in it for me. Do you know where I

might find it? I imagine the case will
have been taken care of by customs.

you like me to make inquiries? Oh,
that's all right, I wouldn't trouble. It

should be all right in customs,
shouldn't it?

That's very true, monsieur.

Well, thank you, monsieur Steed, and I
hope we won't have to trouble you again.

Ah, that's no trouble, lieutenant, thank
you.

What happened to your queen?

Monsieur.

Monsieur.

There's a terrible thing about Mr.
Meyer. Yes, terrible. I was a friend of

Were you, monsieur?

That briefcase, it wouldn't be Mr.
Meyer's, would it?

Yes, monsieur, it is. Oh, I'm so glad I
bumped into you. I've been most terribly

worried. He asked me to take it back to
London for him.

Did he, monsieur? Well, it was his last
request. He wanted me to take it to his

family, you know.

It's a terrible thing.

I thought I might be able to help. You
know, save delays, formalities, all that

sort of stuff. That's very strange,
monsieur.

Why's that? The second Englishman in 20
minutes was offered to take charge of

the briefcase.

Really? May I ask why you and the other
gentleman are so concerned?

Well, I can't answer for the other
gentleman as far as I'm concerned. It

contains business matters, but relating
to Mr. Myers' family.

On the contrary, the briefcase contains
nothing of importance.

Spare shirt, shaving kit, nothing his
family could want in a hurry.

Absolutely astounded, Mr. Myers, so
insistent.

Oh, I completely recognize your
position, Lieutenant, but is it

you to let me have this?

I'm afraid so, Monsieur.

Are you sure you can't stretch a point?

I'm sorry.

I'll have to get on with the authorities
in the morning. Yes, you do that,

monsieur.

Lieutenant.

What did he want?

This. Oh, yes, he was asking me about
that. Do you want me to give it to him?

No, I don't.

I think I'd better lock this away for
the night.

Good night, Monsieur.

Good night.

Haven't you any respect for the dead?

Tell me, what's got into you tonight,
Lieutenant?

No luck with the lottery?

I should have thought it was about time
you got back to your hotel.

They'll be very pleased to see all the
customers you've got.

Where's his mask?

He's dead.

How?

Pardon that, baby.

But you don't. It hasn't got the right
symptoms.

Sinosing around the lips, enlargement of
the pupils. It must be something in the

hexabarbitone group.

If he'd held on five seconds more, I
could have got out of him where the

was.

You mean you didn't get it? No.

He didn't have it on him? Not as far as
I could see.

It's not that easy to search a dead body
in public.

Particularly as there was a rather
sinister -looking German right next door

me. Seemed as interested in him as I
was. What about his luggage?

I only had a briefcase. It's in an
office.

It won't be there long. As soon as the
light in that office is out, I'm off

across the car park and in through the
window.

Oh, incidentally, the customs officer
told me that there was another

after the briefcase as well.

An Englishman? A German? How did the
French get left out?

The French provided me with my one ugly
moment. Do you know that message I sent

Maya? Mm -hmm.

The airport officials knew all about it.
Fortunately, they had a rather...

Tim Whitted, official, there. Otherwise
the cat would have been amongst the

pigeons.

Unable to meet you, Marseille, and there
you are as large as life. I'm not

surprised. Well, it was in code.

I should get yourself a new code book.

Come on, haven't you got homes to go to?

That's the lot, receipts, bills and
lading, all correct.

Oh, and I've locked Myers' briefcase in
the cabinet.

Good.

Be glad to get home tonight, eh?

You bet. Are you coming?

No, I've got to initial these.

Look at the time.

Probably got to be on again in the
morning.

Ah, well, good night, Roland.

Good night.

Hello, Curly.

Had a busy night?

Why couldn't he have died somewhere
else?

Curly.

Look, put this in your pocket. What is
it? A bottle of hair restorer. What?

I'm sorry I made fun of your hair
earlier on. If this is a joke... No,

peace offering, Curly.

Where'd you get it? Myers bag.

Myers? Well, you won't be using it
anymore. But for heaven's sake, don't

it around.

I shouldn't have taken this.

Still, well, thanks. You never know, it
may do some good. Yes.

And it is free. Yes. Are you still here?

I thought you were tired. Oh, I'm just
saying goodnight to Curly.

Yes, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Go, Curly.

Doesn't like his routine interfered
with, does he?

Well, you never know. The shock may work
a miracle cure.

The light's out.

What are you waiting for?

I'll give it another ten minutes.

Time to go.

I'll be off.

You're not light from the flare path.

Start the engine.

Hit it as soon as I get back.

Hit what?

Not a thing. There's no package. You
sure?

Of course I'm sure.

No false compartments, nothing in the
linings, nothing in the backs of the

hairbrushes or in the folds of the
slippers or between the pages of the

I squeezed out the tube of toothpaste
and the tube of shaving cream. I emptied

the fountain. All right. I'm very, very
sorry.

Uh, I'd like this.

It's small.

Never.

Are you sure the bag didn't open in the
office during the fight?

Yep. How do you feel now, by the way? I
have a very stiff neck.

Luckily, we landed against the filing
cabinets and he was underneath.

Yes, monsieur?

Oh, mademoiselle, we haven't quite
decided yet.

That's rather pretty, don't you think?

Yeah.

Yeah, I wonder if they've got it in
black.

Black's so obvious.

Yes, isn't it?

Do you think you killed him?

I didn't wait to examine.

That's in character.

You really are in trouble if he's dead.

Well, you don't have to tell me that.
What luck!

Monsieur, please.

Yes, mademoiselle, that's me.

Do you always arrange to take your calls
in a lingerie department?

If humanly possible.

It's a delightful store you have here,
mademoiselle. Thank you, monsieur.

You don't get stuff like this in
England.

Quite sad for you, monsieur.

Yes,

I suppose it is.

Yeah. Steve?

Is that head office?

Yes. That's head office, eh?

Right. I'm speaking loud because I've
got the most terrible line, but you know

that consignment you asked me to
deliver? Well, I'm having export trouble

it. Trouble? What sort of trouble?

Well, you could give me a few details.
You know, we've got our rivals there

after the same property.

I see.

Well, it's a specimen tin of fruit
juice.

Fruit juice?

A new line we're trying from Shanghai.

Oh, yes. Good old Shanghai.

How many competitors do we have?

Oh... A couple so far.

Two.

Well, you must expect these little
difficulties.

And speed.

Yes.

Let's have no more slipper.

Ah, my dear. Thank you so much.

Ah.

A fruit juice from Shanghai.

What is?

Well, the package.

And what does your code book make of
that?

The current issue says that Shanghai
means the Chinese rocket.

You know, the one that's been all the
rumors around. Oh, the one they've been

testing in the Gobi Desert? Mm -hmm.

Yes. The fruit juice is the fuel.

That's actually a fantastic start.

Propellant 23 is the technical name.

Yes. Well, anyway, Miles is going to
take it home. It's so confidential, he

won't even let me know about it. How
wise.

Now, if it's a liquid, we're looking for
a container of some kind. Yes, I think

it's safe to say that.

We know it's not in the briefcase,
therefore it must have been somewhere on

person. Yeah, I think the airport police
would have removed it from his person.

The obvious place to start looking is
the airport.

Reasonable deduction.

It just has one snag that after last
night I can't go back there.

This is your big chance.

I'm so glad.

Have you decided yet, monsieur?

Yeah, I take you, mademoiselle.

Yes, monsieur. And anything else?

Oh, yes.

Yes, certainly.

I'll take... I'll take this and these.

Thank you, mademoiselle.

Get down to the airport.

Ask questions, discreetly, of course.
You needn't bother to wrap them. How

is it?

53 .30.

53 .30, fine.

You can take those. Come in very handy.

You know, what's his name?

53 .30? Yes. 53. Now, your coin money, I
have...

Darling. No, Paul.

I'm sorry, but I'll lose my job if
you're found here.

No, I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be on
the plane. I'm not doing any harm. Yes,

you're upsetting the air hostess. Now,
Paul, let me finish my list. You have

another look for your lighter, then we
can go.

I don't think there's much point in
looking anymore. It doesn't seem to be

You were sitting on the other side.

Yes, I know, but I thought it might have
slid or been kicked over here.

No luck?

No, I'm afraid not.

Well, never mind.

After this trip, the plane gets a
thorough cleaning. If you like, it turns

I'll send it to you. Well, maybe you
won't need to. I may still be in

Really? My business is taking longer
than I expected.

Glad. Yes?

How long before you're off duty?

Oh, well, I have to make a report at
twelve about last night's business. Then

I'm free.

Fine.

Poor little messy Meyer.

We all thought he'd had a heart attack.

Do they know how he took the poison? No,
I suppose he had some pills. Maybe he

took it in his coffee.

Coffee? Coffee he drank before he
collapsed.

Maybe you helped me carry the tray
around.

Oh, so I did.

Captain Legros thinks they'll
investigate it as a murder.

Why on earth should they do that? I
think they always start off like that.

I think in the West, people.

Who'd want to bump off Meyer?

One, of course.

Anyway, if it was poison, how would they
give it to him?

In his coffee?

Well, that's silly.

Well, I didn't do it. I'm the only one
who could have put it in his coffee. I

could have done it.

I suppose Robert will be a suspect, too,
and Captain Legros. Yeah.

Ah, so this is where it all happens.

But that's silly.

Mr. Meyer obviously committed suicide.

He probably wasn't guilty either.
There's a much better way.

Oh? Much more likely, too.

What way?

The flask. What flask? The flask he
carried in his pocket.

The customs officer said nothing to me
about a flask. I saw it.

You weren't the only one to drop
something during the flight.

I wonder where it's got to. It might be
an important piece of evidence.

Well, perhaps he dropped it on the
tarmac or in the passenger lounge.

Could be anywhere.

Somebody's obviously picked it up. Yes.

I wonder who'd know if it had been
found.

The police?

Yes, but anyone else?

Laura. She's a friend of mine. Laura?
The barmaid. Ah, yes.

Or Curly, the airport policeman.

Or Jacques Tissot.

He's always hanging round the lounge.

He can't stop drinking. If he found it,
he'd probably drain it and sell it for

another round.

Darling, we must go.

Well, yes, of course. I was waiting for
you. I've got a phone call to make,

anyway. Okay.

Morning, Laurie.

Morning. Coffee, please. And a packet of
the usual? Yes, please.

You're early. I thought you didn't come
on till twelve.

It's because of the robbery. I have to
make a statement to the police.

Hey, why isn't Curly here?

He was here much earlier.

Grumbling because it was his day off.

I'm saying his health would suffer from
lack of sleep.

That's right.

Hey, tell me, what happened last night?
Cigarette.

Yes, madame? I'd like a packet of
cigarettes. Certainly, madame. Which

Oh, those will do.

Thank you, madame. One eighty -five.

Oh, I think I'd like a cup of coffee,
too, please.

Good morning. Good morning, madame.

Thank you, madame.

Thank you.

I hear there must have been quite a
fight last night.

I'll say the place was in a terrible
mess.

Well, what did the police say? Oh,
nothing as usual. Except they're looking

an Englishman, someone called Steed.

Apparently Roland was speaking to him
last night. He was asking Roland to give

him the briefcase belonging to Maya, you
know, the passenger who killed himself.

Well, I suppose the police think that
Steed's the one who broke in because he

wanted Maya's briefcase. But why?

How should I know?

Excuse me, I couldn't help overhearing.
You say an Englishman was involved in a

fight last night? That's right, madame.

And the police can't find him. Not yet,
but they will.

Who was he fighting with?

I've no idea, madame. One of them was
hurt, though.

He only took a briefcase.

Apparently. I suppose there was
something very valuable in it.

Nothing at all. I had to list the
contents officially.

Well, excuse me, madame. I must go.
Laurie!

Yeah?

How much is that?

Three fifty.

Here we are.

It's always the same.

I never get a chance to finish a cup of
coffee.

Thank you.

Au revoir, madame. Au revoir.

How much do I owe you? Three cents and
six, madame.

Thank you.

Why, I seem to have lost my cigarette.

Oh, are they in your bag, madame?

No, no, they're not. They were here on
the counter.

Thanks. Oh, I know. Pierre must have
taken them by mistake.

His are the same brand. I'll ring him
for you. Oh, no, no, no, don't bother.

Is that his office over there? Yes,
madame. Oh, I'll just pop in and get it.

Sure, madame? Yes, thank you.

Come in.

Yes, madame.

Excuse me. I think we picked up my
cigarette by mistake.

Oh, I'm very sorry, madame. That's all
right.

So this is where it all happened?

Yes, of course. We've tied it up a bit
by now.

And the briefcase was in here?

Yes, look. You can see where they forced
the lock.

Yes.

And that poor Monsieur Meyer poisoned
himself.

Well, it begins to look a bit like it.

Do you think the poison was in the
briefcase?

Oh, no, madame. There was no poison
there.

Nothing that a poison could have been
in? A bottle, for instance?

Bottle?

Oh, no, madame. There was no bottle
there. Are you certain? Well, yes, I am.

I think that's a matter for the police,
don't you, madame?

Yes, I suppose it is.

Would you mind letting me have your
name, please?

Gail. Catherine Gail. I was only
concerned about the poison. Why?

It seems to me a bit dangerous to have a
bottle of poison lying around.

I'm sure there's no need for you to
concern yourself about that, madame.

I'm sorry, monsieur. I seem to have
taken up rather a lot of your time. Not

all. Before you go, would you mind
giving me the name of your hotel?

My hotel?

Yes, your hotel.

Hotel de Saint -Pere.

Hotel de Saint -Pere.

Thank you, madame.

Good day.

Good day, madame. Good day.

The police.

I find the lady's anxiety curious.

And it will be of interest to the
police, all this talk of a bottle.

No, you.

I can't help worrying.

He's always here to meet every plane.
What can have happened to him? Oh,

you're so weak, bothering about a man
like that. No, there's a lot of good in

Jacques. I know.

If only he had someone to look after
him. Oh, what can have happened to him?

He's going to lose his job.

You really are worried about him, aren't
you?

Yes. Don't tell me you've fallen in love
with him.

And why not?

All right, Laura, what do you want me to
do? Look, Jeannette, this is one of his

cards. The hotel where he works. He has
a room there.

Please. Will you go and see if he's all
right?

Laura... It's by Saint -Honoré. It's not
very attractive.

I have to make my report to this meeting
soon. But it's not till twelve, is it?

And if you take a taxi, I will give you
the money. You could be back long before

then. Please, Jeannette, who else can I
ask? I can't leave the bar. And I know

he's got himself into some kind of
trouble.

All right.

Thank you. Bless you.

Don't bless me. I'm not doing you much
of a favor. Not with a type like

Excuse me.

Yes, madame? I've lost something, and I
wondered if you could help me.

What have you lost, madame? Well, it's
rather difficult to describe. It's a

bottle.

Have you tried a lost property
department, madame? Yes, I have, but

suggested that I come too, because I
think I must have lost it around here.

What was in this bottle? Some sort of
drink?

Well, a sort of alcohol, yes.

I suppose Jacques could have found your
bottle.

Jacques? Jacques who?

Jacques Tissot. He works one of the
hotels.

Why should you think he might have it?
Oh, he's not a thief or anything like

that, but if your bottle contained
cognac or some sort of drink, he

able to resist it. He wouldn't steal
anything else. Look, where can I find

He hasn't come on duty.

Is he ill?

If he's found a bottle, he'll be drunk
or with one of his hangovers.

He drinks that stuff, he'll have a
hangover, all right. What's his address?

You are the second person who has asked
me that question. I know you've done

something wrong. Who was the first, a
policeman?

No, an Englishman.

I must find him. Where is he?

Well, here is his address. He works for
this hotel. He has a room there.

It's got the phone number on it? Oh,
it's no use ringing the hotel.

They refused to fetch him. I've tried
three times and they put the phone down.

Excelsior. 32 Rue Gallieny, right?

Hurry, Steed. If he drinks that stuff,
it'll tear his insides out.

Okay. What else did you find out? You
didn't kill that man.

Well, that's a relief.

But the police are out looking for you.
Now hurry.

All right.

Hey, by the way, how do you spell it?

What? Excelsior?

No. I can't even pronounce it.

Oh, Mrs. Gale. Yes?

Mrs. Gale, how did you guess about the
bottle? What? Well, you knew all the

there was a bottle in that briefcase.

Oh, well, I had an idea.

Well, you see, I didn't think it
mattered. It was only a bottle of hair

restorer. Hair restorer?

What did he do with it? Well, I gave it
to Lieutenant Leclerc. Well, you see,

he's almost bald. I thought I'd be doing
him a good turn. Where is he?

Well, he's off duty today, madame. He'll
be at home, probably. What's his phone

number? Well, he hasn't got one, I'm
afraid, madame. But look, I hope you

tell anyone what I did. No, no, no, it
doesn't matter. What's his address?

I've no idea. They could tell you at the
main gate, probably. You see, I know it

was stupid of me to take the bottle, but
I knew Mr. Meyer wouldn't be using it

anymore, and... Well, I thought I'd be
doing somebody a good turn.

Lieutenant?

Madame?

May I ask what you're doing here?

Lieutenant Leclerc?

Yes, yes, but I repeat, madame, what are
you doing here?

I'm terribly sorry to intrude like this,
Lieutenant. I do have a very good

reason for being here. Oh, yes.

You see, I was at the airport when that
unfortunate man died.

It's really rather a long story. I
suppose I'd better begin at the

After I put my cigarette... I know I had
them here somewhere.

I was told Lieutenant Leclerc was bald.

Now turn around.

Hello, darling.

What are you doing?

Jacques invited me over.

Oh, how do you know Jacques?

Oh, we just got talking. If he comes
there, what are you doing here? I came

see why Jacques wasn't at the airport.

Well, I've no idea. Does it matter?

You've turned this place into a mess.

It wasn't much to begin with.

I was looking for some cigarettes.

Where is Jacques?

He went to get some wine.

You were searching the room, weren't
you? I told you, I wanted a cigarette.

was something else you were looking for.
It was the flask. In the plane, I

thought you were interested in it. Why
would I be interested in a flask? Yes,

why?

Listen, darling, you're getting worked
up over nothing.

Aren't you meant to be at a meeting or
something? Oh, I have to make my report

at 12.

Well, you'd better hurry. You haven't
got much time. Look, I'll drive you

No, I want to know what you're doing
here.

Oh, darling, we'll talk about it
sensibly over lunch. I know exactly

going to take you. And afterwards, if
you like, we can go back to my hotel.

I can't. What do you mean? The police
want to talk to me about Monsieur

death. I got a message just as I was
leaving. It probably won't take long.

What if I tell them about the flask?

Well, I think you should. I mean, you
saw Meyer with it.

What if I tell them I found you here?

Darling, you don't want to cause a lot
of misunderstanding and trouble.

Then tell me what you're doing here. I
told you Jacques asked me over for a

drink. You don't know him. Of course I
do. I don't believe you.

Then ask him. I will.

And I suppose you believe that drunk
rather than me. Yes.

Captain's room?

Yes, easily.

Any luck?

No. There was a bottle there which had
contained a propellant, but it was

Empty? Yes. It was labelled terrorist,
or I wonder if that policeman has used

it. Well, there were two containers,
sir. There's still the flask.

Ah, yes.

There was a woman there with a gun. She
jumped me.

Do what, then?

Don't know.

Is she after Tim? I think so.

English.

She's probably with Steed, then.

We don't have to worry about him. I've
arranged a reception for him at Tiso's.

Anyway, you won't find anything there,
but she may know where the stuff is.

Yeah.

But... What do we do?

You stay here. There's a good chance
she'll show up. If she does, follow her

contact me.

Oh, yes.

Yes. And thank you.

Goodbye.

Oh.

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. Oh,
that's quite all right.

Tito? Jack Tito?

Mr. Steve?

Yeah.

You're to come with me to the police
station for questioning about a robbery

the airport last night.

A robbery?

Yes, monsieur. Take a look around.

How do you know I was here?

We received a telephone call.

Who made the telephone call?

I'm not at liberty to disclose that
information.

Oh, come now. And anyhow, was it an
Englishman?

It was, wasn't it?

All right, all right. Well, if I have a
bottle of cognac there, it's mine.

What are you doing in this room,
monsieur?

Come here, an Englishman. It's nature.

Come on, let's go.

Very good, very good.

Drink? Not when I'm working.

Well, hurry up and finish then. Oh, I've
got another 50 to do.

Yeah, go easy.

Well, who'd have a baker for a friend? I
just want some left for me, that's all.

Oh, never you mind about that. I've got
the real stuff here.

And when we finish that, we can start on
this, eh?

Where is it?

Oh, no, he won't be there because he
owes the money.

Anywhere else?

I don't think so, no. Are you certain?

Yes.

It's terribly important. Try and think.
Oh, no, he told me about a new friend.

Jean Martin, a baker. His place is...
Oh, his place is in the Cloutier

Don't you know the address?

No, but you could ask someone. Jean
Martin, Cloutier district.

Right.

Only another four batches. Good. Now
have a drink.

Yes, I will.

Here's to bread, eh?

Well, now for it.

Here, have a sniff.

Are you sure it's all right?

Of course it is.

Commissar! Yes?

Is there a Jacques Tissot there?

Yes, yes, he is.

Thank you, monsieur.

What a delicious smell.

Are you Jacques Tissot? Yes. Where's the
bottle? What bottle? I don't know what

you're talking about.

Is it all right?

But this isn't.

There must be another bottle.

Excuse me, monsieur. But please,
monsieur.

Ah, always had a taste for you.

I'm terribly sorry. But what are you
looking for, monsieur?

I'm not quite sure.

Hold on. And what's all this about,
monsieur? Nothing here at the moment.

is this all about? I'm very sorry to
interrupt you. Could you reserve six of

these for me? Now, where's that bottle?
I don't know what you're talking about.

Now, tell me you want your tea, sir.

All right, over there.

Mr. Steve, isn't it?

Yes, where was it? Lord's Henley, the
Royal Enclosure. I don't think we met,

have we? No.

I wouldn't do that, Mrs. Gale.

Siebel, over there.

All right, Steve. I didn't quite catch
your name.

Keep moving.

Get your hands up. Your feet back.

You might need a cigarette, sir, boy.

Now you.

what you do.

All right, turn around.

Watch them.

Now, where's the flask? I don't know.
Where's the flask? If you shoot me,

never find out. Quite right, but there
are other ways to make you talk.

Let him go, Steve.

There's the flowers. Pick it up, Siebel.

by the stairs.

After you, my dear.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, my knee!

Don't worry about your knee. Keep
moving.

I think I nearly broke him.

Fruit juice.

I thought that you didn't like that
there, Black.

You're full of surprises, aren't you?
Say, were the ladies a parrot?

He isn't dead.

How's Tito?

Oh, he's much better, thank you.

I must have talked to him just for a
little while, not for long, because he

very tired.

You know, he says he'll never touch
another drop as long as he lives. I

that when I see it.

Give him my regards when you see him
again.

Thank you, I will.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, Curly's just come on duty.

Well? Well, he's in a bit of a state.

Where is he? Who? Here.

Oh, dear you.

He gave me a bottle of hair restorer.

Restorer? Restorer. Look at this.

The hair left.

I was doing so well.

Mesdames et messieurs, this is the final
announcement of the departure of...

Please, you've forgotten the package.
The package? I'm not afraid of you. No,

not that one.

Oh, that dear fellow. Will you have one?
No, thank you.

They're terrific. Oh, better go.

Oh, give my lad to Kwan to the door.

What in the jar? Yeah, that's right.
Bye.
