All language subtitles for 04 The Rogue Elephant

Herr Leipzig?

I'm sorry. I was looking for Herr
Leipzig. It's rather important.

Not here.

Not here. No money.

Nobody has money.

How long since you saw him?

Thursday.

Five days ago.

Thursday. I've got good news for him.
Money.

Pinker, pinker. All for Otto.

My friend says, don't give it to him.
Otto will come back and move us out.

And we have nowhere to make love.

Where can I find him, do you know?

Try the water camp.

Two kilometers along the main road.

Over the railway.

and pass the windmill, then ride.

Yes, ride.

Keep riding until you come to the lake.

What is the place called?

It has no name. It's just a place.

Ask for holiday houses to let, and then
drive into the boats.

Ask for Walter.

If Walter's around, Walter will know
where to find him.

Thank you.

Otto knows everything.

He's like a professor.

A bad professor.

Walter, bad man.

Are you a professor, too?

No. No, unfortunately not.

Then Otto is twice lucky.

What was that?

I said, then Otto is twice lucky for a
change.

Why?

Why is he twice lucky?

Last week, the unexpected visit from the
East.

And today the money?

Otto's the Sunday's child for once,
that's all.

Visitor? Who was the visitor?

From the East?

Not his brother, was it? Small chap.

Spectacles like mine.

No.

No big fellow.

With a chauffeur.

Which? And I don't know him.

Otto's brother was certainly never rich.

Unless he was the chauffeur, of course.

Are you Valter?

I'm looking for Otto Leipzig.

They told me at the wharf I might find
him here.

He's at Dora.

How do I get to him?

If you want him, call him.

Otto?

Otto?

Call again.

Keep calling if you want him.

Is he in there or not?

I said, is he there?

Did you see him go aboard?

A wild pig comes and goes. What the hell
do I care?

So, when did he come last?

I'm looking for Otto Leipzig.

Can anyone tell me, please, whether he's
around?

Is there anybody on board the Isadora?

You should see his car.

They took it to the wood.

Who did?

Who took it?

Kampa, I'm a friend of his.

Drunk, hmm?

Sleeping it off.

It was a party.

Music, singing.

They warned us it was too loud.

Maybe they quarreled. So what? Lots of
people quarreled. They make some noise,

play some music.

There are musical people here.

They were police.

When police go about their business it
is the duty of the citizen to keep his

trap shut.

Show me his car.

The scum, they all are. Look at them.

Pollocks.

Criminals.

Subhumans.

What do you want?

I'm so extremely sensitive to pain!

oh

You think I have nothing better to do
all day than lie on behalf of my

She is in Marseille.

She went to be with children.

You don't think it's natural to want to
be with children?

Oh, it's a nice surprise.

Here's the family kretschmar going about
with pleasure.

What can we do for you, sir? I have to
speak to her, Gretchen.

But Gretchen does no business in
waiting.

Kindly tell your husband this is not
business.

This is friendship.

But how can it be friendship when I
don't know your name?

Go look after the cook.

Her life, she was dead.

Two men killed him when the water came.

Who? He asked you to look after the
product of his blackmail operation.

The tapes, whatever there is.

I assume you also have the letter which
you received on his behalf from London.

Who killed him?

Max, I ask you as his friend, his
comrade, who killed him? I demand to

This is what you expected me to have on
me last night.

He called it his massacre rules. Both he
and the general insisted on it.

Though it struck me as ridiculous.

You have the other half of the card?

Yes, sir.

Then make the match and give me the
material.

I shall use it exactly as Otto would
have wished.

You promised this?

Yes.

And the killers?

What will you do with them? Most likely
they are already safe across the water.

They only had a few kilometers to drive.

Then what good is the material?

The material is an embarrassment to the
man who sent the killers.

Will it kill him also?

It will do worse than kill him.

What happened now?

I shall take these to the people for
whom he intended them.

I will accompany you. Permit me. Thank
you. There's no need.

Max, you are in danger.

I should like a bag of some kind. Can
you provide one?

If you need anything, just tell me.

Tomorrow, ten years from now, I have my
people. These are our violent times.

I should like you to telephone the
airport for me. Will you do that? Of

naturally, as you wish. Anything.

Write it down.

Make a reservation

for Mr.

G.

Stand fast on the next available flight
to London.

Use your influence. Say it's urgent.

You're a wanted man.

People will look for you.

Yes, they will.

One cannot say this to the whole world.
It's not right.

You understand?

One has responsibility to the other
humans.

You hear?

You hear, madam?

She's there.

Madam, you are there.

Madam, he's a doctor.

Listen to me.

Tell her.

No, I am not a doctor.

I am a friend of General Vladimir.

Trust me, madame.

I'm here to help you.

No, no, let us.

Let us.

Madame?

You're going away for a short holiday.

You will have to put yourself in my
hands. Now, will you do that?

You must be ready to leave in an hour.

Madame Lapierre will fetch whatever you
want from your apartment.

There'll be plenty of time to talk
later, alone.

Why don't you have a little night out?

Say, Gwilym, shove that thing around the
back, will you? That bastard will go

raving mad if he sees a foreign car in
the car park.

Mad for trade.

Doesn't like sports cars too much
either, to be frank.

Morning.

Morning.

Stango?

I'm out.

Hello?

Yes.

One moment, please.

It's the Mr.

Barraclough for you, sir. Says you'll
remember him.

Yes, of course I remember you, Mr.
Barraclough.

I'm so glad.

then you probably remember a little
removals job we once did together on a

friend's house in Helsinki some few
years back.

That's right.

To help him out.

I want you to arrange a repeat
performance for me.

Yes, here.

Now, can you manage that?

Let me give you the address, then.

You've gone mad.

You are so very kind, really, monsieur.

Felix is completely overcome.

No, you are too kind. He never dreamed.

See, madame, is he not beautiful?

Like a Cossack.

Better than a Cossack.

Our transport is due any moment. Please
stand by, madame.

You are going to press.

What a perfectly revolting little car.

However will we fit in?

It's bloody typical of London not
telling me you were out here.

I mean, that's just par for the course
these days.

I usually pick it up from the Queen's
Messenger six weeks after the event.

Not like in your day.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, Peter,
I'm working on my own these days.

Bloody hell, George!

I must say, you put a strain on
friendship, you do.

You mean I called out the entire
emergency service of Paris to assist you

piece of private enterprise?

Find a phone box, ring your wife. If
there's anybody in the house, ask her to

get rid of them. I'm sure she's
understanding.

George, she's pregnant.

Forgive us, madame.

You're abducting me?

Oh, no, madame.

A little disappointed, monsieur.

Oh, the ambassador's going to love this.
He really is.

May I know who are my hosts?

Your witness, George.

Your hosts are British diplomats,
madame, but their hospitality is

discreet. I'll say so.

You said you were a friend of General
Vladimir.

He had an assistant, a little man. He
came to see me.

I called him the magician.

What has become of him?

I'm afraid he fell in the same battle as
the general, madame.

But he did what he set out to do, I
promise you.

I hope that at some convenient moment
you will allow me time to mourn,

I don't want any of this going by
diplomatic bag.

Is tango still your plant these days?

If you ask.

Get him on a midday plane. Enderby can
send somebody to Heathrow to meet him.

Now where's the writing paper?

Try the desk.

There was a French couple we used to
have.

She was something in the resistance.

Owned a farmhouse up near Arras.

The Delbars.

They're still on the books.

Tell them we're bringing them a guest.

Use the phone box.

You're very piano, Peter.

I'm just feeling my age.

Peter, it's the embassy. Are you here?
No.

Stango is to take this with him as well.

It's personal for Saul Endery.

The meeting in London tomorrow night at
the latest.

He can confirm by signal.

Anything else?

Yes, there is.

How long since you had the ferrets in?

A month.

Ring a bell?

Deafening. Find out what's become of
him, whether he's still in town. Do it

before you do anything else.

Get London to do an all -stations trace.

Can I go now?

The sooner the better.

Meanwhile, I think I'll take a little
doze myself.

Mind if I use your sofa?

You'll use Marie Claire's car, won't
you, Peter?

What was it Goethe said?

You must dance, but I must sleep.

Or was it the other way around?

Very pretty, your wife.

How's everyone at the castle?

All asleep.

With me.

Come now.

Ambassador's private sector is looking
for you, sir. And so is the head of

chancery.

Just a moment.

The present account states that certain
separate charges submitted by the French

police to the protocol department of the
foreign ministry and forwarded to the

private office for the ambassador's
gracious consideration.

They cover pretty well everything in the
book, from partying to attempted

manslaughter. More particularly, there's
a most extraordinary request that they

be allowed to interview you in
connection with an elaborate hoax played

authorities.

I don't think we'll even wait for the
frogs to declare your persona non grata.

think we'll do it ourselves.

If you want to speak to me, press that
and wait.

Brother Saul says to handle you at arm's
length.

How do I do that?

Oh, you'll find a way.

He used to say, when the whistle goes,
we stop play.

It was your one sporting metaphor, as
far as I remember. The rest were beyond

me.

What else did Saul say?

He's getting his ducks in a row. He'll
phone you tomorrow.

But I asked for a meeting tomorrow.

And Saul says wait.

And as a matter of fact, I work for him
these days.

Yes,

sir.

Whatever you say, sir.

No, he hasn't told me a thing.

I assume that he's saving it for you.

All right.

You won't like it, but I will pass it
on, of course.

The ducks are not yet in a row.

He did, however, use the term rogue
elephant.

Of me?

Yes.

You must be.

I wrote to him. I had no reply.

I did not dare approach the police. Who
are the police today?

We should have a police to catch the
police.

Maybe they were the police themselves. I
did not know. I knew nothing.

I thought, should I telephone?

But the magician had told me, whatever I
do, do not use the telephone.

And with the post, who knows today?

Maybe the letter had not arrived.

Maybe it had been taken and opened by
them.

I was one woman in a whole world of
spies.

I was afraid.

Afraid of the night, afraid of the day,
afraid of fear itself.

And all my time in Russia, with the
Starkov and with Glickman, I never knew

fear.

All I ever wanted was to have back my
child.

The child I had borne and could not see
or speak to or write to.

The child I had abandoned for the sake
of a struggle.

The child whose memory burned my
conscience like... Oh, like the

sun.

Whatever burns.

You have children, monsieur?

Alas.

Excuse me, madame.

The big chief says this evening at 8.

I'm to deliver you bound and gagged to
the portcullis.

Is there any hope that, after all, maybe
after all,

they let my Alexandra come to me?

No hope?

At all?

In the whole world?

Not in the whole world.

None.

You have to live with that.

I have to be certain.

Enderby's also cleared you for the
latest word on Oleg Kirov. Which is?

He was recalled to the Soviet Ministry
of Foreign Affairs at court notice in

order to take up a senior position which
had become unexpectedly vacant.

Date? Like, two weeks ago.

Left Paris with all the usual diplomatic
trappings, hasty farewell parties,

flogged his washing machine, the lot.
Yes.

Yes, that, of course, is exactly what
Carla would do, isn't it?

He would call Kirov back on the prospect
of promotion just to make sure he

really came.

I don't know, George, do I?

I don't know what it's about to matter.

You mean Enderby hasn't cleared you?

Ah.

Look, George, what is all this?

Carla, woodshed meetings with Enderby,
calling out the bloody cavalry in the

middle of Paris. I mean, you of all
people running a private war.

When you should be keeping bees and...
Ann?

Ann, damn it, looking after Ann.

You're an institutional man, George,
remember?

When you put my first harness on me,
remember?

Now what are you telling me?

Wake me when we get to Calais, will you?

You know what you said to me once?

Remind me.

Carla isn't fireproof because he's a
fanatic.

And one day, says you, if I had my way,
that lack of moderation would be his

downfall.

I mean, you really got to me. I
practically wrote you on my shaving

Ma?

I just hope it won't be your downfall,
too, that's all.

In my time, Peter Gwilym, I've seen
Whitehall's skirts go up and come down

again. I've listened to all the
excellent argument for doing nothing and

the consequent frightful harvest.

I've watched people hop up and down and
call it progress.

I've seen good men go to the wall and
the idiots get promoted with a dazzling

regularity. All I'm left with is me.

Thirty -odd years of cold war without
the option.

So what does that mean in little words?

It means that if a rogue elephant, to
use Saul Endemy's happy phrase,

charges at me out of the thickets of my
past and gives me a second shot at it,

I intend to shoot it dead, but with the
minimum

of force.

Mr. Smiley, sir, and Mr. Gwilym.

George.

Thank you, Ferguson.

You know, his name really is Ferguson. I
never doubted it.

Recognize the old place, do you?

We've had it tarted up a bit since your
day. Blew the dust out.

And you'll remember the beautiful Molly
Meakin, I dare say.

One of your many talented protégés.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Molly's head of research. She replaced
Connie Sachs.

Our policemen get a little younger every
day, don't they?

Hello, Willem.

Over here, Strickland.

Mr.

Smiley, sir.

How are you?

Close the door on you, Strickland.
