Thank you.

Don't be nervous.

It's completely safe. We've never had an accident.

Spoiled as an only child, it often happens.

Mr. Davies, I don't really know if this is the kind of assignment I should take

on. Mr. Rule, I'm asking, even pleading for your help.

Well, from what you told me, I don't know what I can do. I mean, she's fallen

into bad company. So what? We all do that. Remember when you were a kid? This

different. Yes, of course, it always is.

All I can tell you is that I feel, I know she's in some kind of trouble.

You question her.

Naturally.

I sort of saved my breath.

I've stopped her allowance.

I've even threatened to cut her off without a penny.

And?

She said, I'll soon have all the money I'll ever need.

You have a recent photograph of her.

Hello?

Hello.

Did you get my cable?

Good.

Yes.

Everything's fine.

What do you got?

I'm at Victoria Station.

The girl just bought a ticket.

Where to?

I checked with the booking clerk.

Vienna, single.

One way, huh?

Yeah, but listen, that's not all.

She also made inquiries about return trains from Salzburg.

Salzburg?

Well, why don't you get on a train and follow her to Vienna? I'll fly out and

pick up her tail from there.

Okay?

How would you like a little change of scene?

Like, uh, Salzburg? Why not?

An hour late.

Too bad it isn't like that today.

And the salt in the fog gives you a thirst.

That's a dangerous rumor started by the breweries. Well, that's good beer.

Where did she check in? At the best hotel in town.

The Rathauser.

Expensive dates.

For a girl recently cut off without a penny.

Well, she's not without expectation.

Where is she now?

Voila.

That's Miss Monica Davis?

You did follow her halfway across Europe.

That is Miss Monica Davis.

You seem surprised.

She traveled like the last of the hippies, complete with backpack.

As Alice said, curiouser and curiouser.

Some wild Paul tales, sir.

I've got a suggestion.

You search your hotel room.

Where are you staying?

At the Rathauser, yeah.

There's a fountain in the Mirabelle.

I will meet you there in an hour.

Please.

Oh, please. You've got to do something.

Get us down from here.

He said he's going to kill me. Oh, please.

He's insane. He means it.

Yes, isn't it?

This assignment isn't making too much sense.

Hmm.

What did you get from the hotel?

Uh... That.

Thanks for the goodies.

Wham is on.

That helps a lot.

I thought so, too.

What is Wham?

Ah.

A mystery ingredient for petrol.

And you want a drug for perking up middle -aged detectives, no? I hope so.

She said to her father, quote, I'll soon have all the money I'll need.

And she meant it?

Well, he thinks so. That's why he asked us to help.

It's very intriguing. But if I was her father, I'd be worried, too.

Yeah.

How about a little lunch?

Thank you, Harry.

When? Huh?

W -A -M Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Wham, no? Well, how about Women Against Men?

Yes.

Or Whitehall's Ambivalent Mugwumps.

You following me?

Yes.

Why?

Do I need an excuse?

All right.

For your information, I'm now going back to the hotel.

Maybe I'll see you later.

It's a date.

Or maybe you should go jump in the river. It might cool you off.

Goodbye.

Nice to have met you.

Bye.

I'm in trouble.

The girl spotted me, so I'm having to keep my distance.

Now listen, she just took the tourist bus to the cable car.

Yeah. Can you take over from there?

Right. Ciao.

Let's go.

Well,

I enjoyed the escargot.

I'll buy you dinner. What's happened?

Paul phoned in. The girl spotted him.

Where are we going?

How's your head for height?

Cable car?

Wham is on.

What's it all about, Harry?

I don't know.

Thank you

Thank you.

Attention. Attention.

Peter, come. Come, Peter.

He says he will kill.

What? Hello.

Who is this?

My identity doesn't matter.

What is important...

you understand the situation.

We are armed and have explosives.

Do not attempt to send up the other cable car or people will be hurt.

We mean what we say.

When a...
