The roadblock's that way. Let me go! Let
go!

You belong here?

I'm Jim Palmer.

The contest is expecting me.

Now, will you relax?

It's all right, Joe. He's a friend.

Well, it's good to have it confirmed.

Hello, Jim.

Would you believe this? What?

I'm at a loss for words.

Well, why didn't you try something like
it's been a long, long time?

Or even that it seemed like yesterday.

Both would be true.

Come and sit down.

memory for detail.

I have a memory for your expensive
tastes.

Jim, we've got trouble on our hands. Not
here. This is usually the quietest

island on my beat.

Not any longer.

The elected government is afraid of an
Arlington takeover. No, seriously

several small caches of weapons have
been found in the last few weeks.

I read the first reports. The
government's taking it seriously.

to call us in.

This is your area, Jim.

Any names in the political hat? Not
among the regular opposition. They're

far too democratically inclined.

What would you say if I pulled out the
name Adam Marcus?

Well, Marcus, I would have said clubs,
tourism.

And more recently, the word on the
island says politics.

Well, that's a lead worth following,
isn't it?

What else do you have on him?

Oh, nothing much.

Harry's been working on a few leads, but
every time we come up with something,

the opposition turns very nasty.

So you've nothing?

Nothing more than a red panel truck
that's hidden somewhere on the north end

the island.

That's not much.

No, I know, but if Harry and Paul can
flush it out before it's abandoned, we

just might be on to something.

hell with business you haven't changed a
bit

This section. Nothing visible from up
here.

Okay, Paul. We'll bring the police
cordon in close to the next section.

Caroline, anything from your end?

This is the last fishing village on the
area of coast, Harry. Jim's just

checking now.

Looks like we're out of luck. Harry!
Hold it. I think Paul may have

This is it, Harry.

Red panel truck heading north along the
coast road.

Do you know him, Jim?

Yeah.

His name is Lintar.

In the past, he's worked for our friend,
Adam Marcus.

Well, that may or may not mean
something.

Fact is that at one time or another,
half this island worked for Adam Marcus.

Lintar did work for me, Mr. Palmer.

You're absolutely correct.

But as the manager of a restaurant, not
as a gun runner.

What about the girl with the baby
carriage filled with hand grenades?

She worked for you, too, as a waitress.

Just as a waitress.

You seem to be looking for a scapegoat,
no?

When you choose Adam Marcos, you choose
the wrong man.

I have some very close connections in
this island.

It would grieve me if you forced me to
use them.

What do you think, Harry?

I think she's great.

What about Marcus?

Mark?

Well, I don't know, Caroline. We've got
a lot of odd scraps of information that

suggest he might be implicated.

For my money, it's not enough yet.

Why not?

All my information suggests he's moving
from business into politics.

He's not the sort of man to wait around
for an election victory.

Yeah, we need facts, Jim.

Somewhere in this island, there's a
warehouse filled with weapons.

Find that, and we've got our man.

I think we've got him already.

Caroline?

I think...

Jim's right. All we need now is the
proof.

Shall we go?

I'll pay the check.

Caroline, what's going on here?

What do you mean, what's going on?

I mean, the evidence we've got on Marcus
so far. I mean, I can't go for that,

and I'm sure you can't either.

Jim does.

Jim does.

That's important.

To me, yes, very.

I see.

I'm getting some kind of bad vibrations
here.

You're not still carrying a torch for
that guy, are you?

Perhaps I am.

Anyway, this is one you'll have to let
me play my way.

As I said, it's very important to me.

Ready? Yes.

Good night, Harry.

What's happening, Jim?

Well?

Harry wanted proof that Marcus is behind
the arms distribution.

So you've arranged to give it to him?

Right.

I contacted the local people this
morning. They've agreed to make

raids on Marcus' clubs all over the
island.

I hope you're not making a mistake, Jim.

Marcus wasn't bluffing about his
political connections.

No mistake, Caroline, baby.

My guess is that even Harry will be
satisfied by what these raids produce.

It's going up.

I checked the other Marcos clubs that
were raided. Three of them contained

nothing. The other two produced two
great grenades apiece.

That's four crates of grenades and ten
of rifles. That's not much for an armed

uprising. Yes, but we don't know what's
been delivered already.

Yeah, that's true.

But if Marcos is serious about this, it
seems to me he had some logistical

backup, you know, spare parts,
ammunition.

You mean this isn't it?

I mean this isn't the main distribution
center.

Whatever part Marcos may play in the
whole deal.

Still got doubts, Harry?

Yeah, they're bred into me.

Ever since the kid next door sold me his
backyard rainbow for my champion

bullfrog and a bent half dollar.

Okay.

If you're not satisfied with this, let's
see what the hole was at the other

raids.

I'll follow you down, Caroline.

Whatever you say, Harry.

He's beginning to look more like the kid
next door to me.

Right.

Don't worry about Harry.

He's always hard to convince.

Maybe.

But, of course, you and I know that ten
cases of rifles puts the whole matter

beyond reasonable doubt.

Unless, of course, Harry's real doubts
are about you and me.

Let me help you. All right, thank you.

You're Maria, aren't you?

The sister of the girl who was killed at
the roadblock. What do you want?

Tell me about your sister.

I have nothing to say. You have nothing
to say about a sister who was killed by

her own side? She was shot by the
police. Now, please leave me alone.

They weren't after your peanuts.

Okay, let's talk where we left off.

All right.

What do you want to know?

The arms your sister was distributing.

Where did they come from?

You know the big bay on the far side of
the island?

Yeah. There's an old house there
overlooking the harbor.

It's worth a visit.

Just couldn't stay away, could you,
Harry?

Never going to pull off a coup on this
island. This way, Harry.

I put a lot into this operation.

Too much for you to cross me now.

That's quite an impressive bunch of
weapons you've got in there.

More than you expected?

No, I figured that anyone that could
afford ten cases of rifles to frame

Marcus had their lot in hand.

I didn't have to frame Marcus.

I just helped the Contessa's suspicions
along.

Too bad for you you didn't share them.

Why don't you do it, Palmer?

Go for broke.

Isn't that obvious?

Maybe. It's quite an investment, though.

Two murders, double -crossing our
organization.

The Contessa? Leave her out of it, Rule.

You think you can?

Listen, Roo, in two days a military
dictatorship takes over the island.

And you're going to be a rich man.

That's right.

And the Condesa?

When we were together in Leipzig, I had
nothing.

This time, maybe it'll be different.

You're selling rainbows, Palmer, to
yourself.

Take him inside.

Lock him up.

Get him!

He's nowhere around the house. He must
be in the garden.

All right, cordon off the area. Set up
roadblocks. Check the airport.

Right.

I, uh, I thought you might have a guest.

Oh, it's just an official visit, you
know, port duties and so on. He's

below now.

Now, what about this turnaround on the
island you promised me?

With Marcus in jail, I guess we deserve
some sort of celebration.

The engine's turning over, the champagne
is on board.

What more do you want?

He's on the grounds. He must have got
away. Call the condenser.

Caroline, this is Paul. Do you read me?

Come in, Caroline.

Come in, Caroline.

Caroline, this is Paul.

What

are

we doing, Jim?

I, uh...

What you might like to take in a bit of
the North Africa coast.

Well, it's a bit late for that. We can
be back by nightfall.

I expected you earlier. What kept you?

I was holding back on the big news.

Oh?

I went to see Marcus in jail this
morning.

Confessed everything.

In jail this morning?

That's very strange.

Why strange?

Because Adam Marcus and I were having
drinks together on the yacht.

Just before you arrived.

But he was arrested.

Police arrested him at the club this
morning.

Really a show of force, Mr. Palmer.

Sorry to upset your plans.

But the blame, I... Perhaps I should say
the credit, belongs to the Contessa.

You arranged all this?

You knew?

I didn't know for sure.

But I thought it was a possibility.

So you pointed Marcus as a suspect.

Gave me enough rope to hang myself.

You did an excellent job, Mr. Palmer.

Adam Marcus is one of my oldest friends,
Jim.

He goes back even further than Leipzig.

So when you started to pile up the
evidence against him, it was really

against you.

So just turn the boat around, Mr.
Palmer, and point it in the direction of

nearest jail.

All right.

If that's what you want.

That's Paul and Harry. You haven't got a
chance.

With you, I got a chance.

No, Jim.

No chance.

You always were.

Fifteen -nine.

What, uh, is this?

I mean...

Management? No.

It's the best I can do for an apology.

Why? Because you didn't tell me that
Palmer was the top of your list of

suspects?

Why didn't you?

I hoped it wasn't him. I gave him every
chance to prove it because... Well, I

suppose in some way I thought I was
responsible.

For old times' sake?

Yes, something like that.

Anyways, I told you a long time ago, as
far as I was concerned, it was all over

in Leipzig.

Shall we dance?

Shall we dance?

Why not?

You're not the only one who's got
influence around here.

In the avenues and alleyways.
