All language subtitles for The Saint s04e08 The Spanish Cow

Thank you.

Here in the south of France, during the
month of July, the siesta is as rigidly

observed as it is in Spain.

Everybody from six to sixty goes to bed.

In fact, by mutual agreement, if a cat
happens to be chasing a mouse between

hours of two and four in the afternoon,
they both walk.

Working garage?

Correct.

Consuela? Consuela, look, it is him. Why
you pretend?

What are you doing here?

I'm buying petrol.

You lie.

I know who you are, senor. You are the
evil, treacherous... Consuela, drive on.

You are...

Luisa, please do not worry.

He's one of the most dangerous men in
the world.

Oh, Consuela, I'm so tired of it all.

Always being afraid, always running.

All I want is a little peace for my dear
country.

Sometimes a little peace, too, for
myself.

Hello, Chico.

Her car has just passed me.

Repeat.

Her car has just passed me.

Message received and out.

You see, if I had education like you,
Consuela, perhaps I would know what to

But I am a woman alone.

You have me, Doña Luisa.

Si, and I thank you for your goodness.

And I thank God also that I am tough, a
peasant.

These hands of mine, they have known
dirt and work and blood.

And I feel somehow they will save my
people.

That is.

I am the widow of His Excellency,
General Carlos Arroyo, President of the

Republic of Santa Cruz.

Presidente no longer, Senora.

Presidente, until you rebels come
assassinated him.

Heroes, 31 bullets in his back.

One lone man. We are not here to argue
politics, Senora.

Nor do we wish any harm to your person.

Some vermin with a rifle do not give me
fear.

Doña Luisa, I beg of you, do not anger
them.

You know what we want, Senora. Where are
they? They were sent ahead.

You lie.

Give them to us.

Maybe it would be better... Never!

If vultures prey, it will be without
help from me.

All right.

Fetch.

The key.

Shoot it open.

There's a car coming.

Keep her down quiet.

You ladies do seem to be having trouble.

Now we know who is the cause of this.

I can assure you I don't go around
shooting holes in ladies' tires. I use

myself.

Now, that's what must have done it.

Trying to say something?

On your way, senor.

That's enough.

Shall we dance?

Muchas gracias.

You have saved my life. I cannot thank
you enough. And if you'll accept my

apologies for what I said earlier, I am
sorry I was wrong.

And you're forgiven.

But, senora, why did they stop you? What
do they want?

To rob me.

Of what?

Me.

It is an honor that you receive me,
senor.

When you leave here, you may not think
so.

You have thought about the matter?

There can be no more thinking when you
order violence.

Violence? The attack today.

On the car?

Shooting at my tires. Bandidos!

Senor, I do not understand.

You're paid gunmen. They have not yet
reported to you.

I am not a gangster, senora.

I am an accredited representative of the
Santa Cruz Republic.

There is no more talk needed.

The jewels stay with me. They are mine.
They are not yours, senora. They belong

to the nation.

They were gifts to me from my husband.

With what did you pay for them? Blood?
How dare you?

It's the truth. The blood of the
peasants will be crushed and persecuted

years. Get out of my house! Butcher!

We'll leave this house this instant.

Senor, you know that the right is on my
side.

In your heart, you know the truth.

The jewels will go to Santa Cruz
somehow.

This I promise you.

Do not cry, Doña Luisa.

Oh, Chica, I am beyond all hurt.

I am old and weary and tired.

And I care for nothing except to do what
is right.

But I do think Ramirez believes what he
says.

Perhaps.

Because he hated Carlos.

You heard the names.

These things one finds hard to forgive.

Chica.

Carlos gave these to me because he loved
me.

Because I was young and beautiful.

And he adored me.

No, I cannot give them away. No, I
cannot. I cannot.

Mr. Templer, good to see you. And how is
the most efficient chief of police in

the south of France? That depends.

On what?

On your behavior in the south of France.

My behavior everywhere is impeccable. So
is your taste in shirts. These are

magnificent. Salk and make them for me
in London.

Now, get back to my behavior.

Specifically in regard to the Spanish
cow.

I beg your pardon? You championed the
lady this afternoon.

You mean a Senora Donya Luisa Arroyo?
The Spanish cow.

I say, it's a bit hard, isn't it? I
mean, the poor lady can't help her

No, no, no. The term has a different
meaning for a Frenchman.

La vache espagnole. Of course.

Out of Greek mythology.

Or is it French? The symbol for
everything clumsy and absurd.

And who, out of ignorance, does
outlandish things?

Yes, I understand. Yes. As always, your
sophistication enchants me. Now, I've

got to tell you something.

The lady travels with a small fortune in
jewels.

Yes, I know. Yes, I know you do.

Now, I'm going to ask you something, a
favor.

Go on. A courtesy for an old, tired
adversary.

To lighten his burden, to ease his
troubled mind.

Shall I hum hard some flowers, or will
you get to the point?

Back off.

Meaning?

Discontinue your acquaintanceship with
the Signora. Do not attempt to

communicate with her in any way.

I'd love to, Colonel.

But I'm afraid it's impossible.

Why? Well, you see, I've already had
a...

Invitation to dinner from the lady, and
I have accepted.

Let me warn you.

If one jewel, just one, is missing, then
you will be a guest of the French

government for ten years.

Ah,

Senor Simon. I give you good dinner, eh?

Superb. Fit for a king.

Just like my Carlos always said.

Remember, chica?

Si, senora.

We had great friendship from Paris.

But when we are only two of us alone,
sometimes I cook for Carlos myself.

You have heard much talk about my
husband?

Some. Good or bad?

Senora, it has been some time.

Bad. I know.

Always it is bad things.

But senora...

Carlos, he thinks he is only one who
knows about what is best for Santa Cruz.

He is human, though, senor, and
sometimes, yes, he is wrong.

But not bad, senor, not bad.

Never.

Senora.

Who is men who try to rob you?

Revolutionary agents.

Under whose orders?

Ramirez, of course.

Gilberto.

I thought you were in Paris.

You seem not glad to see me.

I am surprised.

This is Senor Simon Templar, my brother
-in -law, Alberto Arroyo. How do you do,

Senor Templar?

Father Luis, we have wonderful news for
you.

We are going back to Santa Cruz.

How is this possible?

My supporters are trained, dedicated and
ready.

A revolution?

A liberation, my dear.

You see, Senor Templer, Santa Cruz is in
bondage. The present government is in

power illegally.

Even though it was elected?

Elections, pa!

Many years ago it was decided that the
chief of state alone chose his

Decided by whom?

My husband.

My venerated brother, General Carlos
Arroyo.

And now I shall be his honored
successor.

Does it make any difference now that
Santa Cruz is a democracy?

Democracy? Rubbish!

Oh, it is all right for advanced
nations, but for a population of peons,

farmers, democracy only makes them
dissatisfied.

That's a very interesting theory.

Dona Luisa, I must have your help.

Your jewels will buy munitions, guns,
supplies.

I must have them.

But, Gilberto, a revolution will mean
bloodshed.

People will die.

Of course people will die.

The murder of my brother will be avenged
with the blood of traitors.

You and I, Donna Luisa, we shall be
avenged.

You must help me.

You must.

A little time, Liberto, please.

No, no, no. My patience is at an end.

Tomorrow.

I will tell you tomorrow.

Very well.

I shall give you another 24 hours.

But after that, remember.

Just ask yourself what dear Carlos would
have wished.

Senor Simon, what can I do?

Senora, you only have one choice.

But if Sonia Luisa is for the democratic
regime, she's against everything her

husband fought for.

Accept it, Senor Simon, as a token of my
thanks.

It belonged to the General, my husband.

He was always very fond of it.

Now it is yours.

See that you keep it always.

Senora, it's very kind of you, but I
couldn't possibly accept it. You must

accept it. It is tradizione in my
country. You did not consuela.

Si, Senora. You have done something for
me. You risk life, fight robbers.

Then you must take this gift and no more
words.

You just have to say thank you and I
shall treasure it. Good.

Now I must say good night.

You will come and see us again, senor.

Thank you, senora.

My house is your house, always.

Good night.

I will help you to bed now. No, no.

No, no, Chica.

You stay here.

Maybe you become good friends with the
senor Simona, our handsome one.

You go out.

Dancing, perhaps? Or gambling in the
casino?

Good night, chica.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night and thank you.

Good night.

Well, shall we do what the signora
suggests?

If it's what you wish.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure.

I will get my handbag. Excuse me.

In short, gentlemen, I intend to prevent
the robbery of jewels valued...

at over five million francs.

I intend to use methods which may be
illegal, advanced.

You, Jean, you will concentrate on the
political enemies of the Signora.

Now, I do not care personally about the
internal affairs of the Republic of

Santa Cruz, but I care very much about
jewel robberies on the Riviera. Is that

clear?

You, René, you will concentrate on my...

I might almost call him my friend, Simon
Templar.

Ah.

You will bug his hotel room so we hear
everything he says.

I've arranged for you to take the room
next to his in the hotel, number 717.

Even one hint, one breath, that he
intends to steal the jewels and he's out

France. Is that clear?

Of course.

Now, I do not wish to threaten my two
best operatives.

So I will say merely, if Donna Louisa
should have her jewels stolen, both of

will hang by your thumbs for one month.

Now get out!

You still haven't told me much about
yourself.

I have the ancient, distinguished
family.

Aristocrats for many generations in
Santa Cruz.

But no money.

So you work for Daniel Arroyo?

Oh, no.

Not for salary.

My family admired her husband. So I come
to Europe with her after his

assassination. To be of help, that is
all.

He will not mind if I join you.

Well, Gwen?

I think not.

You must forgive me, Senorita, for
interrupting your last evening with

Templar.

First. And the last.

Really?

Unfortunately, you are leaving me south
of France.

I think not.

I think yes.

You are leaving because I will pay you
100 ,000 francs.

And because you are interfering in
something which does not concern you.

And because I...

Gilberto Arroyo.

And never, never interfere with... I
heard you.

Gilberto, old boy, I have news for you.

You use colorless nail varnish and too
much cologne. In other words, and I hate

to be rude in front of a lady, you
stink.

You will now say a polite goodnight to
the lady and buzz off.

Otherwise, I'll kick the stuffing out of
you, comprende?

You dare insult me?

Gad, amigo.

While the scanning's good.

You will regret this.

Now, where were we?

You're a very reckless man, senor.

Which leads me to say you are a very
beautiful woman, senorita.

But I'll tell you more about that on the
way home.

Obviously, he's taking the girl home.

Sancho. We'll drop you at his hotel.

Watch his room.

Report back at once if you see anything.

For you.

I could not sleep, Chica.

Too many dark thoughts.

I am sorry to have to add to them.

How do you mean?

Gilberto followed us tonight.

What did he want?

He offered Signor Templer 100 ,000
francs to desert us.

And? Mr. Templer refused.

It's hard to believe.

He also insulted Gilberto.

He's not only loyal, but brave.

Very brave.

Foolish. He doesn't know the treachery
of this man and how ruthless he can be.

Somehow I think Senor Templa is a man
who could defy even Gilberto.

Doña Luisa, you have to make up your
mind. We cannot live like this in

fear.

It's difficult, Chica.

It's so very difficult.

In my heart, I know that Ramirez is
right.

I know that if I give to him the jewels,
he will use it for good, for things

that are needed.

I know that Gilberto is bad.

He will use it for revolution, for
killing.

And yet he is the brother of my dear
Carlos.

To turn against him, I just don't know
what to do.

But Carlos himself said that Gilberto
should be his successor.

How can I go against his wishes?

I am getting a little tired of this
Latin American melodrama.

I warn you, senor.

I shall not hesitate to kill you if I
must.

How did you get in here?

I bribed the desk clerk to open the
door.

Then you're going out by the window.
It's quicker. We are both after the same

thing. But the right is on my side.

I use these methods because I have to.

How can I hope to defeat a man of your
daring unless I become so myself?

And I must defeat you.

Before I allow you to steal your royal
jewels, which belong to my country, I

will kill you.

This is becoming a little monotonous. I
am not deceived.

You are the notorious adventurer.

And you went to great pains to cultivate
the Senora's friendship.

Before you fire a gun, my friend, you
release the safety catch.

At everything, I am a failure.

That's right. Now get out.

Senora. I apologize for threatening you,
but I'm out of my mind with Wally.

You're out of your mind with something.

Senor, listen to me.

No, Amigo, you listen.

Listen carefully. I have no intention
whatsoever of stealing the Senora's

jewels. You have not?

None.

But, Senor, you must steal them.

Come again?

You must.

Steal them.

Why the switch?

I try to think of everything, anything.

I am Diego Ramirez, the accredited
representative in France of the Republic

Santa Cruz.

They must have been desperate.

Senor, those jewels were paid for with
the blood of my people. The general

drained the country of money. You must
help me to get them back.

If you will steal them for me, I will
give you anything.

Anything? Within reason, of course.

Now look here, Diego.

I am a very sleepy boy and I want to go
to bed now. Will you scram? You refuse?

I refuse.

Oh, Diego.

You're pissed off.

It's a simple technique, Chico, used
most effectively by the Nazis.

The more preposterous the lie, the more
people will believe it.

In the same way that this idiot child
believes I'm interested in a career as

artist.

The democratic government must be
accused of every imaginable crime. Si,

worst. And then we move in. We take
first the newspapers and the television

studios. After that, the government
offices.

Within a day, the whole country will be
ours.

And then we avenge my brother's murder.

To hear you talk is much inspiration.

Asensio, you have something?

Confidential.

His child understand only French and
that not so very much. Go on.

Ramirez was to see him.

Ramirez here?

Si. He asked Templer to steal the
jewels.

He begs him.

And? Templer refuse.

A lie, of course. It's possible.

Your plans of the last weeks to steal
the jewels will be upset by one man.

We must act quickly, Gilberto.

If we delay, we risk everything.

Sancho, how much are you prepared to
risk?

For my country?

I risk anything, even my life.

You ready?

Si. Strike a blow for the glory of our
homeland.

Good luck.

Gracias.

Drop in. You might be useful.

There's something the matter.

The light is on.

I'm going up.

Wait here.

Talk, amigo.

Who sent you?

Come on now, I'm getting impatient.

It may be that some distinguished member
of the French constabulary can hear me.

In which case, I should like to report a
murder.

I trust your cell was comfortable?

You slept well?

I didn't shut an eye all night.

Ah, what a pity.

At least you were safe.

Thanks for the coffee.

I must insist that you remain my guest
for a few more days. I prefer my hotel.

I could probably hold you on charges
of... Let me think.

I make you the laughing stock of the
Riviera.

Give me your word that you will stay
away from the Signora Arroyo.

Hello? Right.

Oh, hold on.

It is for you.

Word gets around.

You were in the papers this morning.

Hello? Senor Simon, I read the
newspapers.

I am very worried about you.

Senora Royal, how nice to hear from you.
No, not a bit.

Tea?

I'd love to.

Anytime that's convenient for you.

To have your jewels stolen.

Just be careful.

What do you mean?

Simon is a very clever man.

Very quick with his brain.

Ah, that will be him now.

Let him in.

If you are too obvious, he will know.

Dona Luisa, the brooch.

Ah,

Simon, my friend.

Senora. I am very glad indeed to see you
again in my house. It's nice to be

here. Please, sit.

Consuela, you poured the tea?

And you tell us all about this horrible
affair last night, huh? Actually, the

whole thing was very clumsy.

Chica! What is it, Doña Luisa? My
brooch. It's gone.

Do not worry. I found it and put it on
the mantelpiece.

There, you see? Quite safe.

Gracias. I must be more careful, huh?

Indeed. So that nobody will steal, I put
it in the safe now.

Simon, you excuse me for one moment,
please.

Thank you.

Oh, I cannot find the stupid button.

Help me, Consuela, please.

To the left, dear.

Ah, yes.

It's clever, no?

You see, here is a button. I press it.

You see, Simon?

Yes, I... Get the picture.

It's very hard to remember.

The shape is very, very strong.
Consuela, help me with the numbers,

First is 70 to the right, no?

Then 90 left.

Then 90 left. So?

And then?

40 right.

And then 20, 30.

40 right, yes.

12 left.

12 left.

12.

It is hard to remember.

Seventh day right, ninth day left.

Fourth day right, and then twelve left.

And so... I keep here.

I put in brooch.

Now it's quite safe.

And so... Simone, you will come often to
my house, yes?

Any time.

My dear, Daniel Louisa, who could resist
such a generous invitation?

Indeed, madame, in all modesty.

I can claim credit for the fact that
since I became chief of police, there

not been a single jewel robbery on the
Riviera.

He's a very good captain.

Colonel. Gracias.

But why you are telling me this?

My dear senora, surely it is obvious.

Who is obvious?

I am speaking of the Arroyo jewels.

Ah, mine. Of course.

There are several jewel thieves.

Oh, but no matter. Why disturb your
peace of mind?

Instead, I guarantee it by stationing
three men in the house, ten men in the

grounds. What?

Oh, it is nothing, Signora, no more than
you deserve.

Men in my house?

Oh, do not fear, Madame, they are of the
utmost discretion.

Men in my grounds?

No.

Pardon?

No men. No men in my house. No men in my
grounds.

Signora.

It is to protect your jewels.

No, never.

Signora, I assure you these men will in
no way interfere.

It is enough talk. Never.

Compreme? Signora, do you want your
jewels stolen?

No, but I want you to go out.

And if I find men in my house, I will
shoot. Signora, I beg you. I will shoot

until dead between the eyes. Now go out.

Vamos. Afuera.

Afuera. Creta.

Creta.

Estúpido.

Fascista. You have trouble? The woman is
mad.

What happened?

She refused.

Police protection.

Flatly. No men. No men. No men. Not even
in the grounds.

We shall see. I am chief of police, not
her.

Oui, mon colonel.

She will have protection.

Whether or not she like it, I've
decided.

As soon as it is dark, we bug the
grounds.

Microphones everywhere.

We'll fix it so that an ant crawling
along a leaf will sound like the charge

a light brigade.

Now listen.

Keep perfectly still and not move until
11 o 'clock.

Understand?

Si.

Ocobito.

Right, Luigi, you watch the front.

Pierre, you watch the gate.

All right?

Oui, Monsieur Templer.

I understand everything you say.

horse right into the ground. Good.

A squirrel carrying him out across a
foot of open ground. We hear it.

We stop the crime even before it is
committed.

The only thing really one ounce of
prevention. Turn it on now.

Guys,

stop and join in.

He's arrived.

We follow every move.

Now listen carefully.

Keep perfectly still.

Another move until 11 o 'clock.

Understand?

See, Rocopito?

There are two of them.

Luigi, I want you to watch the front.
Here, watch the back.

Three of them?

Monsieur Templer, I do exactly as you
say.

In half an hour, we'll be millionaires.

In half an hour, he will be under
arrest.

Pourtant, mon colonel.

Twelve left.

Yes, I remembered.

I suppose you think we are very obvious.

I must admit I've never had a more
blatant invitation to burgle in my life.

She did everything but write the
combination down.

She's not very subtle.

And you are?

No, I suppose not.

Especially when I know that it's for a
good cause.

Ah, then these are fake.

Just paste imitations.

And Ramirez has the genuine ones.

Yes.

I know we've been using you terribly,
but it was the only way. So I'm to be

bait to draw Gilberto and his hatchet
boy off.

And that's too much to ask.

Not at all. I'm all for democracy and
freedom in Santa Cruz myself.

Oh, Simone.

You're a wonderful man.

Yes, I know.

It's the clean living. Now, you run off
to bed, and I'll leave Humberto a chase

all over the Riviera.

Oh, no, I come with you.

Why? Because my life has always been
ordered, quiet.

And this is the most exciting thing that
ever happened to me.

You want to come along for the ride?

Please. Please take me with you, Simon.
Please.

Well, I've always found it difficult to
say no to a beautiful woman.

Vamos? Vamos.

Here, Luigi, remember we must be very
careful. Latignon is no fool.

In fact, he is one of the cleverest
policemen in the world.

Charming chap, the Templar.

Just because he has beautiful clothes
and beautiful manners, don't

him. He's tough, hard, and dangerous,
with a truly brilliant mind.

Such a pity to arrest him.

Sorry, any minute. Now Doña Luisa starts
screaming she's been robbed.

Si.

And in the morning, I am front page news
with everybody after me.

Gilberto and the police. But only until
10 o 'clock.

What's so special about 10 o 'clock?

Well, Diego Ramirez leaves from Nice
airport for Santa Cruz.

Oh, with the real jewels. I get it.

We had to do it, Simon.

You see, Ramirez is such a helpless man.

If Gilberto would have known he had the
real jewels, he would have killed him,

robbed him before he even reached the
airport.

So all you and I have to do is keep the
fake jewels out of Gilberto's greedy

paws until ten in the morning.

Si, that is all.

Using too much cologne?

So you have said, Mr. Templer.

You also threatened to kick the stuffing
out of me.

Put your hands up.

Templar.

I've been hard expecting this.

They're in the car.

And what made you suspicious?

Right from an early age, I've been able
to tell the difference between a fake

and the real thing.

That includes jewelry.

I knew we were carrying the real ones.

You double -crossed Daniel Louisa and
left her with the imitations.

At any rate, it has been delightful
knowing you.

I sincerely hope you'll always feel that
way.

Finish it off.

No.

Stop the car.

He's insulted me and he knows too much.
Get it over with.

No, I said stop the car.

That's the trouble with all you
aristocrats. You have no guts.

Two years I've put up with Doña Luisa.

Her vulgarity, stupidity, waited and
carried for her.

I've been waiting for this moment.

I won't share it with anyone.

Goodbye, Simon.

Let's not say goodbye.

Let's say hasta la vista.

Goodbye.

Colonel Latillon, right on time.

I try to be punctual.

How did you get here?

The colonel is very fond of
sophisticated electronic gadgets. He

bugged my car, so he's never been far
behind.

It was a good thought, huh? Very good
thought.

And a lucky one.

Thank you, Colonel.

Goodbye, Consuela.

I hope you still feel it's been
delightful knowing me.

Check the other one.

Yes, these are the originals.

Consuela switched them after you went to
bed last night. I still find it so hard

to believe this about Consuela.

I trusted her.

I loved her even. And treated her like a
daughter.

Yes, but no matter now.

I cannot thank you enough, my dear
Simone.

You have done a great service to my
country.

And if you should ever visit us, you
will be my guest.

You're going back?

Oh, yes.

With Ramirez and the jewels.

I do not fit in here.

I know they call me the Spanish cow
because I am clumsy and awkward.

But in my own country, with my own
people, this is not so.

I'm sure it isn't.
