I'm sorry, ma 'am. We have not been able to recover. Very small impact.

They say good things come in. We've checked the inventory of recovered

property, ma 'am. I don't know.

Maybe it's chocolates. What do you think? No. No, we're not giving up.

I saw a letter about it.

Ha! You didn't come with a note on it. We'd better not rattle it.

Hold it down, please.

Yes, ma 'am, I'm here.

Yes. Am I missing the... No, I'm on the... I'm sorry.

Maybe it's from some guy that Cagney shot down. What do you think? More than

likely. Yes, ma 'am. I have the serial number right here on my desk.

I'll let you know.

Yeah. Hi, guys. How you doing?

Okay, yeah. Whoa.

Thank you.

You got a present delivered by messenger. The bomb squad here is trying

decide if it's safe for you to open it. Oh, thank you, guys.

Hey, think nothing of it. Thank you, guys. Too much.

Thank you, guys.

Where's it from? It says, until tonight.

No signature?

I think it's from Steve.

Who's Steve?

Chief Hollister, an investment banker I met while skiing. We're having dinner

tonight. Oh, that was certainly nice of him.

Yeah, sweet.

Oh, my God.

What?

Let me see.

Look at this.

Are they real? Sure looks real to me.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Well, what's the matter? Is that your right size?

Mary Beth, I can't take this. I agree with you. Hold out for the yacht. Mary

Beth, I have not even been out with this man.

Good morning, sir. Morning. You two guys are up next.

Jewelry shop, Fairbanks Tower was hit last night.

Fairbanks Tower is that swaggy place on Park, right? That's it.

So move.

Yes.

So Steve Hollister, is he that rich?

I didn't think so.

It's hard to tell in ski clothes.

We had a beautiful gold and emerald piece in here. Went for about 6 ,000

tax. Ah!

Fingerprint with the money. Sorry, sorry. I keep forgetting.

You see, what I can't understand is how they got past the censors and things.

Well, Mr. Myers, where do you keep your censors and things?

They're over here. Would you like to see them?

Why don't we follow you?

Sorry.

This way.

Everything checked out fine this morning, but no pictures on the video

no alarms set off, nothing.

What about the time marks?

Open, but I don't see how. I mean, obviously somebody made them think it

time to open, but now there wasn't a settling torch, but it wasn't even used

open the display cases.

This is very impressive equipment, Mr. Myers, and you're the only one that

how to operate it. Me? Oh, goodness gracious, no. I don't know the first

about it.

Well, who does?

Well, the management company takes care of the actual nuts and bolts. I just

flip the switches.

Okay.

Well, we're going to want to do an inventory here. I've been in retail all

life. I could help you with the inventory. Appreciate the offer, sir,

us a little time and you relax.

We'll let you know. Let me know if you need any help.

Don't touch anything.

How could somebody so smart...

Someone who could dance through this state -of -the -art security hardware

without a peep. Leave a crime scene like this.

You noticed that, huh?

Honest to God, I have never in my career seen such an assortment of physical

evidence. The DA ought to cite him for littering.

Well, the torch may be traceable. We have what appears to be a perfect

thumbprint. Good.

Here's a tied tag that was sent on the floor near the hole.

And I think the paper with the number written on it just crumpled up in the

corner. Myers doesn't recognize it.

What's your feelings on Myers?

You mean an inside job?

I doubt it.

I think the poor man has trouble tying his shoes. Yeah.

So we're about done here, yes? Yeah.

How's it going? Is Becky on vacation?

Quiet. Five days along with Bon Bon and the hummus on vacation.

If she comes back, who's the right man?

He took a large bottle of vitamin E with him.

I wonder if that's enough.

No, ma 'am. Not yet.

What do you remember?

You spread the name Rosebud on the back of the toaster oven.

Yes, I saw the picture.

Well, thank you for your clue, Mrs. Valenti.

I'll call back.

As soon as I have something, yes.

Bye now.

Why didn't she just ask him to stop bugging about that damn toaster oven?

Well, we kind of got friendly.

She didn't know how to make anything except on her toaster oven, so I gave

couple recipes.

Such a tough cop.

Your attention.

I have an announcement to make.

I am pleased to report that the Fairbanks Tower caper is solved.

Solved?

Who did it? We did.

I beg your pardon, sir. We knocked over the Fairbanks Tower. We did. The whole

14 squad. The entire 14 squad. We did it.

According to the forensic report just delivered to me right now, we did it.

Every bit of evidence can be traced to this squad.

For example, the acetylene torch traced by purchase order delivered to one M

.B. Lacey.

And the number on the wadded up piece of paper turns out to be a payroll number

of the NYPD belonging...

signature in his sign -in book that he cannot account for, and the name is

Marcus Petrie.

And the thumbprint.

Well, they ran that through the R &I computer.

And guess what?

It didn't turn up a known felon. It turned up Victor Izbecki, detective

grade of the 14th squad.

Izbecki had an alibi.

He's on vacation.

A hot sheet on the inventory, Lieutenant?

Yes. How could I see it, please?

Albert Grant.

How did you... What? I'm sorry, what?

Yeah, okay. Go.

On the 23rd?

All right, thank you.

So? Interpol has a positive sighting of Albert Brand in Egypt.

Well, that rules them out.

When was the sighting? Maybe it's old information?

He's suspected of being behind a burglary of the Metropole Hotel in Cairo

night. Well, it just proves he's still active.

I don't believe it.

Albert Brand is the...

They're going to be in two places at the same time, and I'll lay you ten to one.

It's him.

Twenty to one, you got yourself a bet.

I say, guys, I call tonight. Come back fresh tomorrow.

You better get out of here.

Nice time tonight, Christine.

Yeah, thanks.

What did I tell Stephen Hollister? What a big spender I thought he was.

I mean, the thing about Albert Grant is he's the absolute last of the great

ones.

I can see that.

Can you imagine the audacity of this man to implicate the detectives who were

going to cut the case?

Christine.

Look,

it's our first date, right? When I was thinking about how this evening was

to turn out, I was imagining talking to each other about our families, where we

went to school.

what kind of movies we like, you know, the sort of things to get to know one

another. It's not that I'm not interested in police work. I am.

It's just that you do talk about other things, too, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Stephen.

I do tend to get a bit compulsive, but I promise you, as of this very moment,

I'm officially off duty.

Great.

Stephen? Yes?

Would you excuse me for just one moment?

Of course.

I have to go arrest somebody.

Christine, my dear.

How splendid to see you again.

Hello, Mr. Grant.

Albert.

What's going on?

May I pour you a glass of champagne?

I didn't come here to have a glass of champagne.

Oh, dear. But you're not on duty, are you?

How did you know I was going to be here?

My appointment book.

You grabbed it when you were setting up the Fairbanks Towers job.

Won't you sit down?

Just for a moment, please.

I think you'll find this vintage rather amusing.

You are under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Should you give up the right to remain silent? Silence is fundamentally boring.

Wouldn't you agree?

Did you hear what I said?

Perfectly, my dear.

I still can hear quite well.

But I must confess I'm a bit confused.

Whatever would you arrest me for? The Dunhill Hotel job for openers.

I came this close to...

and you said so yourself.

So, I'm going to take you in for it now.

Really? Does that mean you've uncovered some new evidence in the case?

All right.

I'm going to take you in for questioning regarding the Fairbanks Towers job last

night. Well, the evidence in that case would seem to lead in other directions,

wouldn't you say? How would you know that if you weren't involved?

Christine. You wouldn't put a man my age through such an inconvenience without

something more specific than, shall we say, a grudge.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to have to take you downtown just the same.

You may have handcuffs, or not.

Perhaps I missed something.

What was the specific charge again?

There's some people who'd like to see you about Cairo.

Very good, my dear.

First class.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Caddy! Lieutenant, what are you doing here?

Always a pleasure, Albert.

I was summoned here.

Did she say the arrest words? She started to, but we dispensed with the

formality. Detective Cagney, this is Mitchell Farsworth, Mr. Graham's

How does the attorney get here?

He hasn't even made a phone call yet.

Detective?

Steve Hollister, another person in the room.

Here's my date.

Here, Albert, sign this.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Lieutenant?

Now, if there's nothing further, Lieutenant...

No, you're free to go, Mr. Grant.

Wait a second. Wait one second. I have something further.

I have some questions that I'd like to ask. No, I'm afraid you haven't.

Well, I'm afraid I have.

Because there is a current Interpol APB out on this man.

Cagney, this is Mr.

Grant's passport.

The customs and immigration stamp clarifies that he entered this country

before the unpleasantness at the Metropole.

In Cairo?

I'm so sorry for causing such a fuss. Might I make it up to you? And take you

out for that glass of champagne?

And your friend, too, naturally.

Oh, thank you.

Another time, thank you.

In that case, au revoir.

Goodbye, Lieutenant.

Hey, Hollister.

Leave us alone a second, will you?

Cagney.

want this guy.

I am putting a whole squad on it. He is not going to make us look like a bunch

of monkeys.

He is on our turf and this time he is not walking out of here with full

Do you hear me?

Yes, Lieutenant.

So what are you standing around here for? Follow him. Yes, sir.

An arresting date so far. Where are we going now?

Oh, Stephen, I'm so sorry. I've got to follow him.

Do you mind terribly grabbing a cab?

Oh, come on. Let me go with you. This is going to be fun.

You can't go with me on a tail. It just occurred to me, my dear, that you might

want to follow me.

Seeing that the hour is so late, I thought I'd save you a lot of bother.

I'm at the Fairbanks Tower.

Suite 34A.

And good night again.

That guy's not a piece of work.

keep the pin.

It's perfectly all right.

The statute of limitations ran out years ago.

Here's another one of them. He was part of the Saucon Valley job, a driver.

I'll add him to the list.

We disturbing you?

I'm rereading his book.

You think you're going to trip him up by reading his book?

We're late working to catch Albert Grand. We did that last time, remember?

Oh, by the way, I've run down five of the fences he's used in the past.

Tell me good news.

Three in jail, one in Switzerland, and one's become a born -again Christian.

Maybe we should try prayer.

Excuse me, everyone. Miss LeChocolat here. She's looking for Detective

Is there something the matter, Miss LeChocolat?

Well, I've been trying to reach Victor since Monday, and his phone doesn't

answer, and he's not in his apartment.

Oh.

Well, I'm awfully worried.

Did something happen to him?

Victor?

To Victor?

Yeah, was he wounded in action?

I mean, if there's something that I should know, could you...

Please sit down.

As far as we know, Victor is... Undercover. He's working undercover.

You mean he's okay?

It's a very sensitive operation.

We don't even know where he is. It's a top secret.

Oh.

Victor being a cop and all, you... You can't worry.

Of course.

As soon as he's finished with his assignment, I'm sure Victor will be in

Thank you.

Take it slow.

Thank you very much.

Why do you lie to that woman like that? What are partners for?

Why is this Becky telling everybody he's going to the Bahamas with Bon Bon? I

have no idea, Christine.

What'd you do with that brooch that Albert Grant gave you? Part of the loot

the Monte Carlo Casino job in 55. It's being returned to the estate.

Why doesn't he just buy you something?

Because he's Albert Grant.

We got another jewelry job.

Where, sir?

Offices of the Van Devor's Company. South African diamond mines?

Yeah, I just hope that we didn't do this one, too.

Keep this out of the newspapers.

It's most important to the two officers outside.

We're not helpful.

Another thing that might be helpful is if we figure out who did it. Am I right,

sir? Yes, of course.

They really kind of messed up your place, didn't they, Mr. Irwin?

There's very little value left out here.

A list of the missing items.

Fortunately, the only good piece in the office was in...

Uh, we'd like to take a look at that tape if you don't mind.

Even if you do mind.

Security telephone, right?

Yes. It's a handy place for him.

So I was forward here to tell this morning this tape had not been tampered

Correct.

And all of the damage and trashing was outside.

Yes.

What time do you arrive to work this morning? Mary B., what?

Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming.

New York Public Library, Main Branch.

Does this belong to you?

Certainly not.

Covered grandly.

Cameras didn't record.

No alarms were tripped.

Sensors under the carpets didn't register.

Julius, though, all that was taken was a couple hundred bucks worth of display

merchandise. Well, why take all that trouble and then not take the diamond

tiara?

Taggy thinks it's a calling card.

Like the book, which she's running down now.

Well, how many calling cards does she think we need? We know it's here

I don't know, sir. The library card is no help.

The address is the post office box number under the name of Arsene Lupin.

That's Albert Grant, all right.

What, I missed something here, what? Arsene Lupin, gentleman burglar, super

sleuth, creation of the French writer, Maurice Leblanc.

Must be this man's type of humor.

All right, so where's the list of his movements?

Under your right hand, sir.

All right, so we know he is staying in a luxury suite at the Fairbanks Tower.

Got a haircut and a manicure, then he went to Tiffany's.

Sorry, forget it, forget it. He was only here five minutes.

Then he went to a doctor's office on Park. What kind of doctor? I looked him

General Internal Medicine.

But did you talk to him? I tried to, sir.

He cited doctor -patient confidentiality.

We'd have to have a court order if we could ever get one. But maybe it was

a regular checkup. You know, the man is over 70 years old.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

He goes to Bloomingdale's. Uh -oh. That's right. Uh -oh.

Because that is where we apparently lost him.

Until he returns to Fairbanks Towers in a horse -drawn Hanson cab, no less.

In that time, he could have been anywhere, seen anybody.

You want to know the right thing?

Yes, sir. I am sick and tired of being one step behind this guy.

We got a 24 -hour watch on him. Unless he doesn't want us to.

In which case, he simply goes to Bloomingdale's and he gives us the slip

like that.

Huh? This guy is laughing at us.

I think I ought to call Nelman and ask for more men. No.

There wouldn't be of any help.

My dear Christine, I'm so glad you could come.

Well, it was so kind of you to invite me.

And so very clever.

Twenty hundred hours, eight strokes on the clock, due date. I knew you could

it together. You're a very talented lady, my girl.

Champagne? Of course, thank you.

Hello.

I'm afraid I didn't dress for the occasion. Oh, it's very smart. I like

colors.

Would you like them to play something else?

Oh, not at all, Fluffy.

Beethoven. The Rathomoth.

Op. 59, No. 1. The Adagio.

I must confess, I'm a bit disappointed.

I heard from a friend of mine that you'd sent the pin back to Ralph.

I hope it wasn't because you didn't like it.

Oh, not at all. On the contrary.

It's a little idiosyncrasy of mine. I had to return it because it was stolen.

Such a long time ago.

And the insurance company paid up promptly.

It's the way of the world.

Nobody could hurt a bit.

Except, of course, for the insurance company.

But, my dear, that's what they're there for.

You know, you think I see you as a modern -day Robin Hood.

The problem is that Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. You,

the other hand, steal from everybody and you keep everything.

I do not steal from everybody. I have certain standards.

That was you in Cairo, wasn't it?

Christine, you're so good at this police business.

The best I've ever come across.

I think...

If you had chosen my way of life, it would have done rather well, wouldn't

Why are you doing this?

I mean, if you're up with something, which you obviously are, why do you

us like this? Why don't you just strike and disappear without a trace?

I suppose it's not unlike the concept of ninth odds in chess.

I'm afraid I'm not a chess player.

But you are, my dear, but you are.

You're one of the best ones I've ever played with.

Oh.

I brought this back.

You might want to return it. You certainly wouldn't want an overdue

on your record.

I said to turn.

I brought your book, too. I thought maybe you'd sign it for me.

I'd be delighted.

I do it very much.

It's a little outdated, although chapter 11 holds up rather well, I believe.

Thank you for the inscription.

And you're under arrest.

Oh, dear.

I agree the writing is atrocious, but I didn't think it was... criminal.

I'm placing you under arrest for breaking and entering. These are hardly

business hours for the public library.

You rented the public library?

I only rented this one room.

I've never heard of anything like that.

Only a trifle.

Easily arranged.

Now, Christine, I want to give you something.

I mean, something you felt you could keep. Albert, why don't you just buy me

something?

What a quaint idea.

Good

morning,

Sergeant. Good morning, ladies. You saw me waiting to see you in the interview

room.

It's not Mrs. Valente about her toaster oven, is it?

Of course.

Thanks.

He's not undercover, is he?

Victor always says that you're the straight shooter in the precinct.

I mean, you would never lie.

They made up that story, didn't they?

Mr. Chocolat, I don't know where Victor is, but I'm sure there's a good reason

that he didn't tell you.

Is it someone he works with?

Huh?

It's the blonde, right?

Believe me, Mr. Chocolat, there is nothing between Victor as Becky and my

partner. I hate him. Sure you do.

Big, dumb, Polish cop.

Sure he is.

I'm there, so what?

What does it mean to give knights odds in a chess game?

It's a handicap, like in golf.

One player starts the game with one or both of his knights off the board.

Why? Well, it's something a master player might offer in a match if you

playing a lesser player.

A lesser player?

Morning, Christine.

What are you talking about?

He offered me Knight's Odds.

He's toying with me, Mary Beth.

Knight's Odds? Oh, Albert Grand.

Do you know what he did? He rented a room in the public library and he hired

string quartet and then he lured me there. When?

Last night.

Last night? It was all very civilized, Mary Beth. Albert Grant is nothing if

civilized that he had champagne and he had caviar and he had Beethoven.

And then he did it all just to tempt me to give me night's eyes.

Christine, let me understand this. Now, you met Albert Grant last night in the

New York City Public Library?

Right. And I've been up all night reading that damn book of his again.

I know there's something in there. He let something drop about Chapter 11.

I was sure I could find it. Night's eyes! Hans! Me!

Christine, Christine, you're not making much sense, and I want you to sit down

and take a deep breath. I don't need to breathe.

In and out.

Slow.

Okay. Start again. Chapter 11 talks about the bet papers are like magic

where the eye is sent over here when the real trick's happening over there.

Or more likely, the trick's already happened before you even have a chance

know where to look.

You mean the rabbit's already in the hat? Right.

I love magic tricks.

You know, Harv had an uncle who used to do magic tricks. He'd make eggs come out

of his mouth and he'd find quarters in your ears. It was great.

Well, it wasn't Doug Henning.

Mary Beth.

What? You just gave me an idea. You didn't. Come on.

Come on.

Oh, good morning, Petrie.

I want to tell you, these gizmos are really something.

A minute and 40 seconds and you get hot waffles and sausages.

Claudia's parents gave us one last Christmas.

Makes things a lot easier with Warren.

Lieutenant, I'm worried about his Becky.

His Becky? What for? Isn't he down in the Bahamas with the stripper? What's

name? Bon Bon. Well, that's what he told everyone.

But the thing is, she showed up here yesterday looking for her.

Oh, yeah, you think maybe he's got something new going on? I don't know,

Well, anyway, Petrie, his personal life is his own business, right?

Yes, sir.

I don't think he's in the Bahamas, Lieutenant. I think he's in the

Hospital?

I found this in his inbox.

Authorization for medical insurance payment for hospitalization.

He didn't say something to you about a medical problem, did he?

Tried calling his apartment.

I called his mother.

Of course, I didn't want to say anything to Warrior.

Hospital? But why would he make up a story like that about the Bahamas?

I have no idea, sir.

Do you know which hospital?

Not yet, but I'd like to run a check.

Yeah, well, I guess you'd better do that. Let me know what you find out,

you? Thank you, Lieutenant.

Wait, please.

Mm -hmm.

Well, that just went my way. Thank you.

It's really quite typical.

I wish you would not fiddle with me. Mr. Herman, just give us a second to work

here, all right?

Hello.

What is that?

That's an electronic eavesdropping device.

It's a bug, sir.

I got shipment.

What shipment?

I discussed the arrangements for the couriers of the next shipment of raw

diamonds from South Africa on that phone.

It's too late to change them. The shipment is due in today.

How much?

Six and one half.

million.

But they are raw diamonds, you see.

Say what, sir?

Finnish gems have identifying traits, flaws, characteristics like

Rough diamonds.

That is why the secrecy, the careers are totally untraceable. When is

the shipping due today?

4 .30. Where?

Kennedy, gate 36, trans -allied airline.

Thank you. Let's go. Try not to worry, sir. First time this kid came, I've got

one step ahead.

This time I'm going to get him. Wait a minute. You're talking about a $6 .5

million gamble here.

But, Lieutenant, I know I can nail him. I know I can. Just hear as much as he

says so.

Grant? Grant told you?

What? Well, he said that he wanted to give me something that I could not prove

had been stolen.

Like uncut diamonds.

That's a hell of a chance that you want to take here, can't you? I know,

Lieutenant. That's why I was hoping maybe you would call Deputy Inspector

and he could talk to the Vanderbilt people and then they'd go along with it.

we could have Leibowitz and Cross to go with it, you know, in case we have to

front tail them, sir.

Lacey, would you mind... I want to talk to Kagan.

Sir, there's a...

your head shoot on the right. I have very strong feelings about this one,

Lieutenant.

Do you remember what he did last time?

Yes, Lieutenant.

Well, I don't want to see that happening to you again. But I lost my cool then.

It's different now. Different now? How do you know you're not playing right

this man's hands? He is the best in the world, Captain. He's a master. I know

that, but this time he's giving me a leg up.

Now, I don't know why he has, but I know I'm going to nail him.

And I'm asking you to give me a shot at it.

That two -way mirror over there.

You can use walkie -talkies in there. It's been done before.

What's the signal?

Whoever gets the coil will take off his uniform cap, inspect the flash, and then

put it back on.

The insignia.

Right this way.

Flight's on its final approach.

Room 1409.

Thank you.

Would you connect me, please?

Victor, don't try disguising your voice. I know it's you.

Yes.

Victor, what are you doing in the hospital?

Yes,

Victor.

I... Yes, I do want to know.

Listen, I have just spent hours trying to track you down, Victor.

Yes, I did.

Hang on one second.

Sergeant. Okay.

The insurance.

Yeah, the insurance bank.

Uh -huh.

Look, Bon Bon was in here yesterday.

I told her you were undercover.

You'll think of something.

Victor, why did you have to go through this whole charade just because of a

simple operation?

Oh, no.

No. That's nonsense. Victor, real men do have hemorrhoids.

Leave a bit. Are you in position?

10 -4. Your attention, please.

Interworld Airways, flight number 126 from San Francisco is now arriving at 8

-0.

Your attention, please.

Okay, we have a courier. Is the mail courier... Caucasian tall, maybe 6 '4".

He's got beard and glasses, gray coat, and he's got a brown flight bag. You got

him? Got him.

Dr. Bert Finley, pick up a white courtesy telephone.

Dr. Bert Finley, pick up a white courtesy telephone.

So we're following both.

Okay, we have a second courier. You stay on the tall guy. We got a young woman

in a yellow slicker gray scarf.

Mary Beth, you follow the fat one. You have Leibowitz follow the girl and Cross

to take the tall guy. What about you?

Mary Beth, I just realized what he was talking about in chapter 11 all that

time, about the rabbit being in the hat already. It's exactly what you said.

What? About the trick having been over before it even began.

Christine! Just follow him.

Cross, stay with the tall guy.

Leibowitz, you take the girl. I'm on a...

I should never have taken my nights off the board for you, my dear.

Why, Albert?

Why all those calling cards and the night's odds?

Why this whole game? I decided to have some fun.

And what could be more fun than matching wits with the best...

the best detective I've ever known?

It's an old man's foolish conceit.

You used the security telephone to change the flight that the Diamonds came

on, didn't you? My Afrikaans is a trifle rusty, but it's

so fine.

The doctor that you visited, we were told that he was just a general intern.

He is, but he's also one of the finest thoracic men in the country.

It's a delaying action at best.

So you knew all along?

The knowledge that I would never live long enough to face jail gave me a

freedom. The valises? It's a gesture.

The last move of the king before checkmate.

I haven't even got enough strength to get dressed.

police officer on five continents.

I confess.

That's

ridiculous.

You're a thief.

Think of me as an artist.

But I've known you.

I suppose you won't keep these diamonds now that I've confessed.

So?

Yes.

Remember me by.

Please.

It's beautiful.

He bought it.

He bought it.
