This will be the most highly automated
plant in the whole of Europe, but still

we must insist on a reliable workforce.

Jobs are the collector's item in these
parts, Mr. Weinrich. I don't think we

should be plagued by strikes.

So, we will see if we can build German
cars in Coventry. Yes, first -rate

cars.

Now, tomorrow I take my plane to
Hamburg. In two months' time I will

we will start work on the factory.

Now, how about a glass of champagne to
celebrate?

Oh, well, that sounds very tempting,
but, um...

I'd better not. It's a long drive home
and some friends of my wife are coming

dinner. Ah, pity.

When I work, I work hard. But when the
work is over, I am game for anything.

Well, I suppose I could telephone.

No, no, no, no.

Never make an enemy of a colleague's
wife.

No, I shall have a glass of champagne by
myself and then perhaps after dinner I

will go to that little club you took me
to the other night, yeah?

It's a good place to run wine, don't you
think?

My wife, you know, she doesn't know it
exists.

Oh, yeah.

Mum is the word, yeah.

That is a curious expression.

What has mother got to do with it?

I do just want to say, Mr.

Feinrich... Helmut.

Helmut, please.

Thank you.

I do just want to say, Helmut, that I
really do think this project's a winner,

you know. Yeah.

Today Coventry, tomorrow's the world,
yeah?

Yeah.

I'll be in a day. I'll be back. All
right.

A dry martini, please.

With an olive.

I'm sorry, miss. I'm afraid I can't
serve you.

Why not? I'm 21.

You're unaccompanied, miss.

That's ridiculous.

I'm waiting for my fiancé, Mr. Angus
Phillips.

When he gets here, I'll be happy to
serve you, miss.

He could be ours. He's always late.

Am I right in thinking that you're not a
resident, miss?

No, but I will be when Angus gets here.
Oh.

Will you call the manager? I want to see
the manager.

Listen to me, miss. I told you the
rules.

Now, if you make a fuss, I'll have to
call the health detective.

I just don't believe that you... Excuse
me.

Can I be of help?

That's nothing, sir. But I think it is
something.

We have here a lady in distress.

Forgive me. I could not help
overhearing.

I would be happy to buy you a dry
martini. Oh, that's so kind of you,

So, a dry martini and a scotch on the
rocks, please.

Is anything wrong?

Who are you?

I'm Cranmer Oaks. I look after security
here in the hotel.

She wanted a drink, sir.

She's alone.

If I may correct, she was alone, and now
she is not.

She is my guest.

I see.

Well, if she's your guest here, Van
Rick, there's no problem.

That's not quite right, Mr. Oaks. My
orders are clear. There's no

ladies to be served. I'll take full
responsibility, Jimmy. But it's my job

serve drinks, and I suggest that you do
it.

Very well, Mr. Oaks.

But I'll be having a word with the
manager later.

A scotch and the rocks and a dry
martini. Was that it, sir?

Yes. But if I won't, I have a better
idea.

I need someone to help me to celebrate.

I would be most happy if you would join
me in a bottle of champagne.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm good to be here at any minute.

Well, in that case, I will finish the
bottle by myself.

Well, I've always had a soft spot for
champagne.

So, a bottle of champagne, the best you
have. Very good, sir.

Well... Nina?

What room is the museum at?

200 and something.

234. Lancet screen.

Life is champagne, yeah?

So, pause.

Where was it?

In the bath, I'm afraid.

The tub was still full.

Oh, no.

I must have forgotten to remove it.

It's always been loose.

Oh, Lord.

I'm sure it isn't waterproof.

Well, we can always have it checked at a
jeweller's for you.

Sally, come along.

I think she should apologise.

Pardon? You accused me of being a thief.

I think you should apologise.

What I said was, I think my watch has
been stolen, which is quite different.

So kindly remember your manners.

Set with emeralds.

Belonged to my sister.

I'd never forgive myself if it was
ruined.

She did accuse me of being a thief,
bloody cow. I've got a right to an

Not in the hotel business, Sally.

I mean, just look at it this way, Sally.

All she's got is a giant watch.

You've got a career.

Oh, what?

You're pulling my leg, Mr. Adams. Jobs
are scarce in the Midlands, Sally. This

isn't a job. It's feudalism.

Oh, history. Your strong point, is it?
Oh, yeah. I nearly went to university.

Are you about the campus?

Grandma, I've been bleeping you for the
past half hour. Really?

It hasn't bleeped. That's the second
time this week.

The bleepers were your brainchild, John.
They were needed.

Mine works perfectly.

Anyway, about this convention next week.

I really think you should have some
backup.

I mean, 20 Sicilians.

They're businessmen, John, not mafiosi.
Can we be certain?

I think so. They're part of an official
trade delegation.

I can make a few phone calls.

Can I borrow the file?

I'd rather you didn't. It's
confidential.

You can study it in my office.

Oh, I suppose you'd better borrow my
bleeper. It wouldn't be much point in me

rushing to the scene of the murder.

We don't have murders, John. Just
missing watches.

So far.

A zillion.

Oh, yes. The other thing is, they might
be staying on a second week. Really?

I'd better brief Duncan.

Duncan. Duncan Pedley. My holiday
replacement, John.

I'll be in Corpule. Damn, I'd forgotten.

I suppose you wouldn't consider... Oh,
no way.

Put this in that file. I've got one or
two things to check up on first. Very

well.

Is there anything for me, Nina?

Just the couple in the Arden suite.

Asked me to thank you for what you did.

What did you do, Klemmer? I found Pelham
for them.

Pelham is their dog.

Our hero.

This superb model won the Monte Carlo
Rally.

As it passed the final checkpoint, the
suspension collapsed.

We did not mention that in
advertisements.

Oh, no, I've had too much already.

What time is it?

Half past seven.

Not.

Look,

I have to go on the phone.

Perhaps he got caught up in the snow.

Snow? What snow?

Well, a man can always hope, can't he?

Why not?

It's a free country.

It's a little delicate.

Ah, I try to guess.

You wish to inform me that my companion
is a call girl, darling.

But you see, Mr. Security Man, I've been
working like stink for two whole weeks.

Tonight is my last night.

I wish to relax.

Perhaps I'm not unwilling to be called.
No, I don't think she's a prostitute.

No, but I thought... I think she could
be something more dangerous.

An industrial spy? I really don't know,
but... I've been in hotel security for a

long time, and I'm pretty sure that
she's a wrong one.

Skillful, too.

A real professional.

Professional? What kind of professional?
Well, they're usually confidence

tricksters, but she could be a simple
thief.

The problem is, there's no way of
finding out until they act.

Then, of course, it's too late. No, an
important part of my job here is to warn

hotel guests about undesirable.

Yeah, I understand, but you do not think
it is possible that she is what she

says she is?

Remotely possible, but perhaps you won't
mind if I ask where she's gone?

To home.

Her fiancé, Angus.

Yes, well, she may come back and say
that he's been held up.

She might go on to say that she's got
nowhere to spend the night. She could

to borrow money.

My advice, if I may, is to drop her.

Pity. He's so very, um, attractive,
yeah?

If it's of any interest to you, there's
a little club here. Oh, yeah, I know the

place. It's a very fine establishment.

Well, in that case, have I... You have
done your job, Mr. Security Man.

I will heed your warning. Thank you.

All part of the service.

Address to you.

A bon?

No, I... I think...

One of our aspirates.

Another repentant souvenir hunter.

Would you believe it? I might.

Angus is still in Wolverhampton.

Either this conference could go on all
night.

He can't get here until tomorrow.

Oh, how sad.

He always does this to me, always.

And I suppose you have nowhere to stay
tonight.

It's really the limit.

What will you do?

Do? Where will you go? I'll go home. Oh,
I'd better hurry. I might still be in

time for dinner.

I mean, you live here, but I thought
that... For the past five years.

My dad's an engineer.

But then why do you stay... Oh, I know
what you're thinking.

Why do Angus and I meet here in a hotel?

My folks are Scott Presbyterians.

A wee bit narrow, you understand.

Oh, yeah.

I'm very grateful to you for the drink.
And I hope the factory's a big success.

Goodbye, Helmut.

Wait, don't go.

Why not?

Well, the food here isn't bad, and I
thought that perhaps... You mean,

you've done enough for me. No, no, I
promise you, the meat is excellent.

And the fish is even better.

Superb, darling.

How can you refuse?

I've had too much already.

And I thought the Scotch people were
great drinkers. Not in my family.

great ones for moderation.

When we were still in Dundee, my brother
Colin came home drunk one night. My

brother wouldn't let him in the house.

And what about Angus? Does he drink?

Oh, no, he's a surgeon.

He believes that if you're responsible
for people's lives, you shouldn't touch

the stuff.

Ah, so when you're married, you will
have to drink alone.

But in moderation, of course.

I suppose so.

But you will not mind because you love
him. It sounds very romantic.

The truth is I've known Angus all my
life.

Do you know the big thing between us? We
both adore children.

So you intend to have a large family.
The larger the better.

Then I'm afraid you will despise me.

I only have three children.

Well, it's a start anyway.

Have you got photos of them?

Yes, in my room.

Conrad, the eldest.

He is 15.

As far as I can make out, he intends to
be a hippie.

Heinz is nine. He is a genius at
watching the television.

You remind me of Helga.

Is that one of your children?

No, no, that is my wife.

Oh, now she's a little stout.

But when we were married, she was very
beautiful, like you.

That's funny.

What is?

You remind me of someone, too.

Oh, who?

A boy called Carl.

A German student. My first boyfriend,
really.

But I thought that you and Angus were...
It was while Angus was in Edinburgh

studying medicine.

Carl was at Dundee University.

I was in love with him for a whole time.

And I remind you of him.

This calls for toast.

I won't drink it.

Oh, but I think that you will.

Ta -da!

I bought this for my little girl, Ava.

How can you resist?

After dinner, I will show you
photographs of my family.

Thank you.

Oaks here. This is Jimmy.

He went up with her a half an hour ago.

He was smashed, and they took a bottle.

Right.

Herr Weinrich?

You?

You're on the airplane.

No, you're not on the plane. You're in
the hotel.

In Hamburg.

This is England.

What happened to the girl?

Girl?

Oh, yeah.

I remember there was a girl. You were
with her all evening. You came up with

about half an hour ago. The barman saw
you.

Well, I thought I'd better make sure you
were safe.

Where is she?

Oh, my God.

She's dead.

Dead?

No, no, that's not possible. Not
possible.

What happened?

Impossible.

Tell me what happened, man. Nothing
happened.

We played around a little. We had a
drink.

A drink?

I was wrong.

She wasn't a professional. She was a
rotten amateur.

But how is she dead? How?

Chlorohydrate.

It was meant for you, but she must have
drunk it by mistake. She tried to kill

me? No, no, she wanted to put you to
sleep, but she got drunk herself.

After that, she got everything wrong,
including the dosage. But what did she

want with me?

That's for the police to find out.

No, no, please, not the police.

Please don't call the police. Yeah,
fine, but the girl is dead.

Yeah, yeah, we've sent for a doctor.

Mr. Oaks, do you need any help?

Don't let him in.

Please. I will explain everything.

Please. Please.

Mr. Oaks, I'm coming in.

It's like a battlefield.

What are you doing here, Jimmy?

I just thought you might need some extra
help.

Where's the girl? I saw her come up with
you.

She...

She's already gone.

But they only came up a half an hour
ago.

Yes, well, there was a disagreement and
she left.

Well, in any case, it's none of your
damn business.

No, that girl never went through the
lobby.

I'd have seen her.

You obviously didn't.

And in future, Jimmy, when I want your
help, I'll bloody well ask for it.

OK, Mr Oaks.

I was just trying to be helpful.

I'll be away to bed, then.

Good night, sir.

Mr. Oaksley.

I hate that sibling bombing.

Mr. Oaks, I am so grateful I... Oh.

Now, just get one thing straight here,
Feinrich. The police must be notified.

Now, look, you needn't get so upset.

It's obvious what happened.

The police won't suspect you of
anything.

No, it's the publicity.

My wife.

Bad publicity would ruin my project.

Think of it. 2 ,000 jobs in Coventry.
Kaput. And for nothing.

Can't you do something?

You should have listened to me, Herr
Weinreich.

But I can certainly tell the police.

If she is found somewhere else.

What difference?

You know I didn't kill her.

True.

And she is dead.

It can't hurt her.

Think of the jobs.

And I give you 5 ,000 pounds.

Yeah.

5 ,000 pounds.

Just get her away from here.

No, it can't be done. Yeah, it can be
done.

And you are the man to do it.

£5 ,000?

Yeah.

Yeah, not here, naturally. But in the
bank, I have unlimited credit.

I'll get it for you in the morning.

Get dressed.

What?

Get dressed and straighten up the room.

And don't touch her. I'll be back in a
minute.

What are you going to do?

I'll have to get back to the hotel by
six.

I can get up, perhaps, a hundred miles
away by then.

Now, this is what I want you to do.

You wait for me here, yeah?

Oh, Mr Oaks, my watch is all right. I
think it enjoyed the dip. I'm very glad

hear it.

Oh, Mr Oaks, I have a bad conscience.

I'm sorry? That girl, that maid, perhaps
in the heat of the moment I did accuse

her. Anyway, will you apologise to her
for me and give her

this there?

I'll make sure that she gets it. Thanks.

Now then, where's my chauffeur?

I have a train to catch. Thanks.

Come along, Benville.

Ah,

Mr. Oaks.

I'm really taking it with me. The, uh,
the athlete, she was so kind to let me.

I trust it was useful for... Yeah.

I'm now catching my plane to Humboldt.
I'll be the same.

I'll be in my room for the next couple
of hours.

Had a good trip, sir?

Nein. Es war freckling.

Freckling?

It's never too early for champagne,
Molly.

Come on in and drink a toast with us.

Grandma, you bumped me again. I got a
hideous bruise and it hurt.

Well, this should soon take the sting
away. Here.

And do you know what? I didn't even have
to ask him for it.

But I do hope that goes before our
holiday, darling.

A little dreadful with a bikini.
