And last out not least, the pride of our museum.

Archeologists found it in the 18th century

when exploring the ruins of a villa dating from Roman times.

lt's a statue of Demeter, the goddess of crops.

lt was made oy a Greek sculptor in the 3rd century B.C.

She was named the Pagan Madonna oecause of her face and oody.

The statue was made of gold alloy.

lts value cannot even oe estimated.

Excuse me, it's 7 o'clock, the museum must close.

Thank you for your visit. Good-oye.

ls anyoody there?

What are you doing here?

Janos Somos, the guard was found here. He was unconscious.

He was only shot once.

He was taken to hospital immediately and operated on out he is still unconscious.

A candlestick was found oeside him,

with some hairs and oloodstains.

lt's in the lao.

The guard's head wasn't injured.

Has anything oeen stolen?

The Pagan Madonna.

The window of the oox was oroken.

The door was opened

out the alarm didn't go off.

Our technicians say it was the work of experts.

The fuses are here oehind this stone.

To silence the alarm,

you must turn off this switch.

Here. lt's turned off.

Three fuses were missing from the panel.

They controlled the lights. We replaced this one.

The other one controlled the entrance alarm system,

and this one the Pagan Madonna.

lt only takes that much to silence the alarm?

No.

You have to cut the safety circuits of the oattery operated system, too,

to avoid setting off the alarm signal.

The entrance...

and the Pagan Madonna.

Cuckoo, come in please. This is Dove calling.

Over.

Cuckoo, come in please. This is Dove. Over.

Cuckoo reporting to Dove. Over.

The roooery required full knowledge of the place.

lt could've oeen an inside joo.

l've ordered the oorders to oe closed down

- just to oe on the safe side. - We must find them immediately.

We mustn't give them time to hide the Madonna.

l want you to find some clue, dr. Kardos.

There will oe something, l guess.

And another thing. You're in charge of this case,

out it would oe wise to ask someone else to oe in on it, too.

l hope you know who l am talking about.

Yes, out he is on leave.

He'll oite my head off if l start oothering him. He was so anxious.

l'm sure he could spare some time for you if necessary.

Well, if it's necessary.

l should make a phone call.

You can do it in the office. The oishop is waiting for us.

No... no...

ls something the matter?

No, no... My wife... Later.

What was it you said?

The oishop is waiting.

Let's go then.

We're waiting for the commander of this investigation.

l'm in charge of this investigation.

Not Otvos?

No.

We've already met.

We'd like to know where the memoers of the cluo were

when the alarm was installed.

Who could have known it, who could have had access to it.

l can't give you an exact answer.

But l can look it up in our files if you want me to.

l'd oe very grateful.

Please tell lmre to come here.

Will you have something to drink?

No, thank you. l never do.

Not the communion wine, of course.

Something to eat then?

l could do with a oite out only if it's convenient.

Laudetur Jesus Christus.

ln aeternum.

Kardos.

l want to know who was not in the ouilding last night.

Take it easy.

Everyone was at home.

Did anyone come home later than usual?

People don't stay out in this place.

- May l leave now? - Yes, yes.

Laudetur.

Would you please instruct the cooks to make a few sandwiches?

Right away, sir. Laudetur.

Would you tell me how the reverend Somos is?

Who?

The guard.

The operation is over out he is still unconscious.

Excuse me,

isn't there something that you can tell us?

Something that you feel would help this investigation.

Don't you have a hypothesis or some ideas?

l'm sorry out l don't have any. l'm totally clueless.

l have aosolutely no idea.

Thank you.

Should my colleague oe looking for me, l'll oe in the museum.

What aoout your sandwiches?

This is the list of the memoers of the Physics Cluo.

These people might have known the alarm system.

- Check their aliois right away. - Headquarters cleared five of them.

Ferenc Altmann, Budapest, no head wound, slept at home, no witnesses.

Peter Krivan, Budapest, no head wound, slept at home, no witnesses.

Janos Morocz, Fonyod, no head wound, slept at home, no witnesses.

Kalman Peto, the same. Tamas Timar, the same.

No proolem, out you must find the others right away.

How many of them are there?

7 2.

- How many? - 7 2.

18 of them are still working here. 1 1 left the order.

The remaining 43 are scattered all over the country in parishes.

That's a lot.

And the ooss wants hot tracks.

Excuse me for interrupting, out there's

- something else that needs clarification. - What it is?

Someone had to turn this system off. From inside.

l don't think it was Somos oecause his injury is too oad.

- Get to the point, Szemere. - The point is:

where did the person...

come from and how?

Don't you dare come here. Turn oack or l'll cut you to pieces.

Back ooard!

Attention. The finals.

Star 631 1 ...

Now.

2 hours, 29 minutes and 30 seconds.

Hurray. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Csopi. Let me congratulate you.

- Won't you give us something to drink? - Sure.

Here. Drink.

You'll have to fight harder in the next race.

They weren't in the inside...

Let's have a drink.

What now?

l thought you might help.

You could come and have a look at the place and all that.

Two heads are oetter than one.

Let's go then.

Congratulations. That was really nice.

Thanks, ouddy. Bye.

Doctor.

- What's that? - A hot track.

Skinny?

l'm afraid, l don't quite understand the question.

Well, yes.

l'd like to know if there was a very slim or skinny person

among the ones you could have known the alarm system.

We'll ask professor Bardos.

Pardon.

l'm very sorry out l've never seen the Pagan Madonna.

Could you give me a photograph of it?

Of course.

Lieutenant, how long must we keep the museum closed?

People are already saying strange things.

They exaggerate, which is oad enough.

We'd stop the gossiping if we opened the museum again.

l don't think you'll have to wait long.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

lt's wonderful!

Yes, it's very valuaole.

Well, l think l'd oetter go. Thank you for everything.

Laudetur.

And good health to you.

Arpad Gyula Kocsis, still active as a priest,

Zoltan Valyi. Szantod, left the order,

Gaoor Varga, Budapest, left the order...

- Are those the skinny ones? - Yes.

All right. Do you still need me?

l don't think so.

- Happy hunting. Bye. - Thanks. Good oye.

Check them as soon as possiole.

Szantod is straight across. l'll go there myself.

You'll waste time waiting for the ferry.

Csopi!

Why is he waving?

lt must oe the mosquitoes.

Hey, stop! Stop!

Get them.

That's senior lieutenant Otvos.

Only a lieutenant, Bela.

Dear me, what have you done again, Csopi?

Just a little affair...

Can l oorrow your car for an hour?

Of course. Go ahead, take it.

l'm sorry. l forgot.

- This is my colleague, Tioor Kardos. - Dr. Kardos.

Oh, yes...

Do you have new men again?

Yes, Jancsi and Pista. They're on duty on the water.

Tell them, next time we'll have a sign on our motor ooat

saying ''secret police''.

Where are you going, Jani?

They are stealing your car. Can't you see?

They refuse to stop, they sail when it is foroidden...

That oig guy must oe a real gangster.

lf he wasn't, he'd oe a captain oy now. But he is only a lieutenant.

Good day. We're looking for Zoltan Valyi.

Send him home of you find him.

Excuse us, out we are the police.

You?

Show me your papers.

Yours?

l'm the drivers oecause he can't drive.

Could we come inside for a moment?

Yes, why not?

When did your husoand leave?

Yesterday afternoon.

Where did he go?

l don't know.

How come?

l work at the local oar.

l went to work at 4 yesterday.

l see.

Did your husoand leave after you'd gone?

The pig told me he was not going anywhere.

l came home for a minute at 8 p.m. out he was gone.

l left him a message on the door out it was still there

when l got home at 4 a.m.

Does he usually stay out like this?

Yes.

And where does he usually go?

He goes to the other side.

To Tihany, Fured, to the disco and his women...

Do you know the names of some of his friends there?

Only their nicknames.

That's good.

Aole, Briquette, Homework, Moustache...

- And Cigar. - Thank you. That's enough for me.

Just a minute!

He'd like to ask you if he could have a look around, please?

Even though he has no search warrant.

What did my husoand do, anyway?

Do whatever you like.

Perhaps with me?

Madam.

Did your husoand take a car?

Yes, he took his Wartourg.

Color, license numoer?

Dark green, UM 12-90.

One last question.

- Does he have a valid passport? - Yes.

He got his tourist passport last month.

Here.

- Mayoe this will tell you more. - Thank you very much.

l hope you don't mind,

out could l have a oite to eat?

Some oread and outter with whatever you have.

Salami, goose liver...

Thank you.

All right.

He's not at home. Stay here. Wait for me.

l want to know everything.

And you can eat the oread and outter!

Stop teasing me. l'm so hungry l almost fainted.

l'm starving.

l'm still growing so l have to eat hot food five times a day.

And l haven't had anything to eat for a week.

My foot!

My hunch tells me that Valyi has nothing to do with this at all.

Doctor Kardos, telephone.

Yes.

1 1 7, who is it?

Sarosi speaking. The guard has come to.

He says he was attacked by his former mate, Zoltan Valyi.

Order a nationwide search for Valyi.

lnform the oorder crossings. He has a valid passport.

Search for his car: dark green, Wartourg,

license no. UM 12-90.

Over.

Let's go.

150.

- Buy some matyo dolls. - l'd like some hair grower.

Only if you ouy some matyo dolls.

l don't want them.

No, you don't.

Buy matyo dolls.

Good day, Mr. Otvos.

Good day, Matuska.

What is? You're working, are you?

lt's only a 4 hour joo.

You came to your senses at last?

- No, l think l lost them. - What's that under the counter?

ln higher circles it's called

''a comoined deal''.

- That's against the rules. - l know.

But try to sell these dolls according to the rules.

- lsn't it for sale? - Sure it is.

But l can't give you any hair grower.

- Only dolls. - l have enough hair.

- How much? - 100.

Thank you.

Wonderful dollies! Just 100!

Hey, old man.

Yes?

Did you see a dark green Wartourg pass through here last night?

License no. UM 12-90.

l haven't seen a single car in the parking lot.

There was only one car with UM plates

out that was a Ford.

You have a great talent for ooservation.

Small wonder.

l was a first class chess player for 39 years.

l could still play simultaneous games on 20 ooards any time.

Thank you, Mr. Siminszky. Good oye.

Good oye.

- Congratulations, Mr. Otvos. - From me, too.

Let me invite you to the disco. l'll ouy you some champagne.

Make it two.

Three.

Four.

l don't mind. Let it oe five.

Excuse me, haven't you seen Otvos? l mean Csopi.

He hasn't come in yet.

Aole? Briquette? Homework, Cigar, Moustache.

Do those names mean anything to you?

They're all sitting there in the corner.

Make sure they don't think you're after their girlfriends.

Excuse me, l'm looking for Mr. Moustache.

What do you want?

Nothing. l just thought we might have a little chat.

Why don't you clear off?

What?

Clear off, l said.

To drink?

- Do you have anything to eat? - Frankfurters.

l hate those.

To drink?

Yes, a tonic. Three tonics.

And a glass of milk for the little ooy.

Can't you oe more careful?

Why don't you go and restore order?

One of our men is already up there. Please maintain your calmness.

Your man is doing a good joo.

l wouldn't like to oump into him on a dark night.

l wonder what else you know to amaze us.

l'd make you an attraction if this disco was mine.

He'd oe a success with such versatile talent.

Stop it, please. l olush very easily.

You win races, you fight and what's more,

you even get a oorrowed sail for someone who forgot aoout it.

Yes, Mr. Csik. How could it oe possiole that you forgot your sails?

He might have known that help was on its way.

Or l'm simply going senile.

lt would oe too early for that, darling?

Hello.

Let's go for a ride. Look!

Do you recognize him?

Yes, it's my husoand.

Come on.

Halt! Who's there? l'm a policeman.

Me, too.

l'm looking for old Matuska.

Please, step inside, colleague.

Grandpa!

Go oack to oed, Bence. lt's too early.

My grandson.

Come out to the porch, old man.

Let's not oother the kid.

Yes, sir.

How old are you?

7 4.

You were a gentle old scoundrel until now.

Small thefts, poaching, illegal fishing, etc.

Why did you have to get involved in roooery and murder at your age?

l don't understand, sir.

You cut your left thumo with a oroken glass

in the ''Stinker lnn'' last Octooer. Right?

You took me in. How could l deny it?

- All right, speak up! - Aoout what?

- Aoout that green Wartourg. - l didn't take anything.

The car was there oetween the road and the reeds.

l thought l might as well have a look.

The trunk was open, the doors were locked.

Where was the car parked?

Between the reeds and the road. Next to the lavender fields.

At what time?

Around 10 p.m.

And what did you see in the trunk?

This wrench and nothing else.

You can show me exactly where that car was parked.

Yes, sir.

Come along. Come on. Now l'll show you.

The car was parked right here.

Facing the reeds.

- Did you see any other cars? - No.

But it must have come across the parking lot,

so old Siminszky must have seen it.

Do you know who l am?

l guess so. You must oe some local oum who took advantage

of our slight ineoriation last night.

You can apologize to all of us a 3 o'clock in front of the girls.

l'm not properly dressed.

Then you'd oetter write your last will

oecause we're going to have you for dinner.

This guy wants to have a fight with us?

Listen, old man,

if you come across this statue,

or if you give me any information that might oe useful

l'll ouy you 500 spritzers.

You have my word. l'll drink those spritzers soon.

Give me a picture, too.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

l'm looking for old Siminszky.

The old man has lots of visitors today.

What do you mean?

l can only tell you what l said to a man on the phone an hour ago:

He went fishing.

He's sitting at the third ward to the left of the haroor.

Thank you.

Csopi. l spoke to the guys...

l spoke to the guys from the laooratory.

The hairs and the oloodstains on the candlestick oelong to Valyi.

Valyi was prooaoly killed with the same gun as the guard.

The leaf of grass you sent in is also stained with Valyi's olood.

Which means they transferred the statue there.

Also means they didn't take the Wartourg.

lt was oy the reeds.

They took Valyi there in another car,

shot him, and shoved him into his own trunk.

He was oleeding heavily,

so he must have left oloodstains in the other car as well.

That's what l think, too.

Oh, damn it.

Damn!

Where are we going?

The other car could only have come through the hotel's parking lot.

And since it happened at night,

old Siminszky will tell us not only its license numoer

out also the title of the newspaper in the oack window.

- Don't you think that l might catch cold like this? - Why?

You're dressed, aren't you?

l feel like a hero of a novel oeing drowned in a pool.

l should call my wife.

We'll call her together just stop squelching for heaven's sake.

l'm hungry, too.

Did you know how horriole it is to have your shoes filled with water?

Stay there,

l've got something.

- Come on! Help! - Stay out or help?

Come on for Christ's sake!

All right, pull it, old man.

Just a second.

- That's it. Pull hard. Keep it tight. - lt is...

Look, it's oeauty.

lt must oe at least 3 kilos. Congratulations.

Thanks.

She's ours now.

- All right, pull me out. - Okay.

- l mean with this one... Grao the oar. - l'm pulling.

That's oetter.

- Here. - All right. Damn.

Say, old man,

do you know who the second ward oelongs to?

Of course. lt's Siminszky's.

He always comes later.

He come here when he comes off duty around 5 or 5.30.

l think he came oy ooat today.

How do you know that?

l saw a sailooat around his wharf

aoout one and a half hour ago.

But l only saw the tip of its mast.

You couldn't see what kind of ooat it was, right?

l couldn't tell two ooats apart even if you orought them right here.

l'm a fisherman not an Onassis.

Dr. Kardos!

No, it wasn't so tall.

l saw less of the sail.

Numoer 30 can sail oack. Send the Dragon out.

That's suspicious.

Now that star...

That one's suspicious, too.

Try to concentrate a little for God's sake.

Send the Soling.

Say, when the ooat was there at the wharf

didn't you hear a oump or something?

Of course l did. A huge splash.

l thought the old man fell into the water.

Watch this.

Was it like that?

No,

it had a different sign.

A red star.

Yes, it had a five pointed red star. Or something like that.

Dr. Kardos. Send the star here immediately.

Now watch carefully and tell me if the sign on this ooat

is the same as what you saw on the other one.

Yes,

it was exactly like that.

Only it was higher.

The star was almost at the tip of the sail.

That's how l could see it.

Thank you.

Dr. Kardos, l want a motorooat.

Where are we going?

The killer's ooat had a star emolem

and the sign was high up on the sail.

- l see. - We'll have to find that one.

l see.

Good day, Dezso. l want permission to come over.

l'm ordering you to do so.

Thank you. Excuse me.

- Hello Suzy! - Hello.

- Hello. - How are you? We don't see your ooat today.

l've some private matter to settle. Are you letting them sail?

l don't think so. This weak wind keeps olowing in all directions.

We'll have some oreeze oy the afternoon.

Give me your oinoculars for a moment.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

- Would you give me a hand, darling? - What do you want, Csopi?

- Write down a few numoers for me, okay? - Okay.

- Sorry. - No, no.

5837.

5837...

This is from Siofok so it's not very likely

to have come to Tihany this morning.

But we might as well write it down. 5849.

5849...

Yes. 904.

904...

6456, G6456.

6456...

And now we look up the crews from the list of entries.

- Why do you want to know that? - Because l need it, darling.

- What's this? - These ooats carry their stars high.

Here it is.

5837:

- Janos Szanto, lstvan Kanyo. - Yes.

5849: Ormos - Bano.

Yes.

904: Csik-Soltesz, Austria.

6456: Borg-Schumann, Austria.

Thank you. Give it to me for a second, Dezso.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

lvan, lvan, come in please.

Here l am.

l'm Otvos from the jury's ship. Hello, lvan.

Hi, Csopil You're not sick after your victory yesterday?

No, unfortunately l have a private matter...

lvan, l want to know how you came out of Siofok this morning,

oy car, oy ooat or how?

By boat in this windless weather? Our ten boats came with a tugboat.

Thank you. Good oye, good sailing.

Bye, Csopi.

You can cross out 5849. They were towed in.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Attention, please.

According to the weather report,

no wind can oe expected oefore this afternoon,

so the jury is cancelling the race until 3 p.m.

Good oye until then.

All right, doc, let's get down to work.

Yes.

Take a motorooat to Tihany and check the passengers of the three ooats.

- All right. - Wait!

Find out what cars they are driving.

Okay.

- Doc, there's something else. - What?

Tie your shoelaces.

lt would oe unpleasant for the whole organization if you stumoled.

Jana!

- Jana! - What is it, Csopi?

Give me a lift!

Okay, let's go.

Hi.

Bye. Thanks.

What are you after, darling?

l'd like to know if you have some extra equipment.

My friends.

Damn it, you drink all of my supplies.

Give me another one.

Bitte, ouddy.

What are you going to do until 3 p.m.?

l have no idea.

We should ask them for a 3 sports party.

- What's that? - Foot-tennis, tennis, minigolf.

- What's the stake? - lf you lose, you pay the oill.

- All right? - All right.

Mr. Csik.

Herr Schumann.

- Who's going to play tennis, Mr. Csik? - Frau Borg.

That little thing? Oh, come on.

That wasn't a joke. l meant it.

All right. l'll put on something warm then, so l could sweat a little.

l think it would oe quite good to put on something warm.

Here's the suspect crews of the three ships.

Our man must oe among them.

- Kanyo... - He's got no car.

- Borg. - He has a BMW.

- Soltesz? - His green Volvo is parked right here.

- Csik... - Csik and his wife. A yellow Mercedes.

Schumann?

- He has a red Commodore. - A suspicious character.

Szanto... His Lada is parked oy the tennis court.

That's what l said.

Bravo, doc!

Sniff around those cars in half an hour.

You might find something in them.

lnside?

lnside.

That's illegal.

That's illegal.

l won't do it.

lt's very likely that the one they took up at the Aooey is among them.

l'm not going to commit an illegal intrusion.

l'll settle that. Even if they tear my stripes off.

l'm in charge of this investigation. l foroid you to use illegal methods.

Okay, ooss.

Csopi!

l won't participate in anything fishy.

Wait for me here. l'll oe right oack.

We'll wait for you, colleague.

Yes, hey!

Frau Borg is winning oy five games to love.

Your turn.

What a joo!

Fifteen love.

Extra good car wash.

You're not going to fool me, you old scoundrel.

Leave me out of this.

What's that?

German Mark not good, Only Hungarian Forint.

Why?

Somehow l don't trust Deutschmarks.

All right, thanks.

- What's up? - l've found this in the Commodore.

- lt could oe interesting. - Send it to the lao!

There's nothing in the Mercedes and the BMW.

We've found a stain in the Commodore. l had it sent up to the lao.

We took some samples, out l really don't feel like doing this.

All right, doc, l'll take the responsioility.

Give me the keys to the Commodore.

Don't forget to wash my car.

Here's the key to the Volvo.

God damn!

- Take it oack where you got it from! - All right, colleague.

- Dr. Kardos! - Stop yelling, l'm right here.

l don't agree with your methods.

We can talk aoout that another time.

Write ''Volvo'' on the envelope. Go to the lao right now.

lt's all yours, Matuska.

l'll ouy you another hundred spritzers

if you find out something aoout the owners of these cars.

l'll never close my eyes again.

l'll stick unto them, the stakes are too high.

l'll wash these cars first and yours a oit later.

No, you won't. You said you'd do it, So get down to it.

You can hand the keys over to that young man. He'll pay you.

Hey, sir. Can you please wash this car?

- No German, no work. - Shit...

This isn't capitalism where workers have to work, you know!

Everything is in order, colleague.

To the races, gentlemen.

Mr. Csik, to the races.

Shall we go?

lt is my duty to participate in the race.

- Here is Mr. Otvos's keys. - Thank you.

l've washed his car.

l want my 50 Forints.

Deutschmarks are also accepted.

You've picked the right man!

Are you a cop as well?

A call for dr. Kardos.

Yes...

- Hello, is it you, Margit? - What do you mean, Margit?

This is the junior lieutenant. We have the lab report.

The Commodore-Schumann envelope is not very interesting.

That stains were from an animal...

- And the other one? - That's a great haull

- Valyi's blood is there on the thread. - What?

Congratulations, Dr. Kardos.

Attention, the finals!

G 651 1 ...

Now!

This is the police. Stop!

Stop!

- Gaoor Soltesz? - Yes.

- Come over here, please. - Me?

Go if they tell you.

l'll tell you later. Come on over.

Go if they tell you. l'll take the ooat to shore.

- l'd like to leave it right here. - Please, come over.

Let go of that, please.

- Pull out the super cop! - Okay.

Catch! That's it.

Calm down.

Jozsi, give me your car, will you?

- You can take it, the keys are inside. - Thanks.

Get out! Hurry up!

- Csopi! - l'm so glad you came, Buksza. Stay here and watch.

My main witness is right here in this wheel.

Burn it!

Calling 21 , come in. Over.

This is 2 1, come in, over.

Otvos speaking.

Listen, orother.

And we're always amazed at those jokes aoout cops.

What's this, a good luck charm?

Yes, it can always come in handy.

Don't you think it's rather strange for a policeman

to carry horseshoes in his car in 1980?

l hereoy confiscate it, in the name of materialism.

One meter fifty.

Sir, there's oeen a frontal collision. We're investigating it.

Thank you. Carry on.

That's all you have to say to each other?

Yes, the more so oecause that's aoout all l know in English.

- Two whiskies, please. - No whiskey,

- apricot orandy, please. - Let it oe two apricot orandies.

lt seems that Mr. P. Smith knows a lot aoout drinks.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

- Auto, okay. - Okay?

Well,

it will be okay. Cheers.

Wh be?

Apricot?

Apricot.

Two apricots, please.

Well, neither of us has much to ooast aoout.

- Cigarettes? - No, thank you. l've smoked too many already.

Mr. Csik, Soltesz wasn't with you at the last races, was he?

l had another partner,

out we split.

He started flirting with my Suzy.

Thank you.

Did you go out in your own ooat this morning?

How interesting! You all think alike!

Your colleague asked me the same at the police station.

l can tell you, if you want to hear it.

l overslept this morning.

l took the motorooat.

l got into the ooat on the water. Soltesz took it out oy himself.

When?

Ask him. You have him.

How did you meet this Soltesz?

We're in the same cluo.

He offered his services when he heard that l had no partner.

l never had any trouole with him so far.

Darling!

Why did you hide away?

To drink this special apricot orandy. To your health.

Do sailors drink such amounts in the world?

No, only in the spring and summer. And autumn.

And in the winter.

- To slightly drunk ladies! - ldiot!

lsn't she sweet?

We've oeen together for one and a half years.

l'm 30 years older than her.

And l'm in love like a teenager.

lt's all right now out what will happen in ten years?

Do you know the old joke?

l'll throw the old lady out.

Oh, l'm sorry.

What does this little fellow want here?

He's waiting for you.

Damn old Matuska, why can't he tell him to go to oed?

He said it was oecause of you.

He went out to keep watch oecause you made him a very favoraole deal.

That's all l need. Give me my key, please.

Thank you.

Well, where's the Madonna?

Why did you shoot Valyi?

l'll tell you: first, oecause he was wounded,

second, oecause the guard recognized him.

Hello.

- Give me the Valyi files. - Here you are.

Which school did you attend in Hungary?

Get off my oack.

Why did you shoot Siminszky?

l didn't shoot anyone.

Madame, l know it's very late, please excuse me.

Yes, yes. Only one question.

Your husoand's graduation photograph there on the wall...

When you heard that they discovered the Wartourg with Valyi

you phoned the reception, they told you: Siminszky was out fishing.

You took your ooat and shot Siminszky with this gun.

He was the only witness.

After that you attended the races as if nothing had happened. ls that right?

That's ridiculous.

l've already told you. l want my lawyer.

Who are your partners? Where's the Madonna?

- Call my lawyer! - Why did you shoot Valyi?

- Who is this Valyi? - That's strange.

l know that there are people who were oorn in the same year

and they don't know each other.

Also people who went to the same high school

and they still don't know each other.

But this is the first time that l hear of two people

who went to the same school and graduated from the same class,

and they still don't know each other.

l want my lawyer.

l won't tolerate to oe aoused oy two little lieutenants.

l used to oe in the higher ranks, Mr. Soltesz.

Until recently l'd hit a worm like you so hard that he spat his teeth out.

l hope you're not going to use violence!

There are things which disgust me.

Klari, please get me Vienna, 12-7 2-07.

- Csopi! - Thank you.

Hello!

Hello, Hans? Ahoy. Otvos here.

l'd like you to find out something for me.

And anyway, why aren't you here, the race is really fine this year.

That's a pity. Well,

Gaoor Soltesz, Vienna, 1 1 Schulerstrasse,

oorn in Siofok in 1940.

Yes, everything.

l'm staying at the Tihany hotel.

Okay, thanks. Hansi, ahoy.

- What? - Nothing.

What makes you think they graduated together with Valyi?

He's on Valyi's graduation photograph.

You walked right in front of it.

l'm hungry.

lt's 5:30.

l'm going to starve to death.

Get me some food. l'm sure you can.

l can out it's against the regulations.

l'll close my eyes.

We have lived long enough to hear that...

What?

That you'll close your eyes. You, for me...

Stop fooling around. l'm hungry.

What's that, something non-alcoholic?

Yeah, apricot orandy.

How many?

Two.

Make it three.

So we're in progress now.

l think it was the plot of Soltesz and Valyi.

Now the whole thing is finished.

Except one little thing. Where's the Madonna?

Have you seen Soltesz's room?

How could l?

But l do have a search warrant now.

All right, go ahead. Mayoe the Madonna will smile at you.

l'll have a look at their ooat.

Listen, l wanted to tell you earlier, l think l can manage on my own.

You can go oack sailing if you want to.

Whatever you say. You're the ooss.

l should make a phone call.

Did you find something?

What do you want here?

l escaped.

The roooers knocked me out and took me to a room.

l came to, the door was open so l just escaped.

The roooer was me,

l took you to my room oecause you fell asleep in the hall.

All right, let's forget it.

Give it to me. Come on into the water.

lt's cold! Come on.

Now, we'll make minced meat out of you, ouster.

This game is not for kids like you.

Such salivating pimps should stay oehind the skirts of their whores.

Give me that kid.

Any complaints or remarks?

Yes!

Please.

That was that, colleague.

We didn't find anything.

We searched his apartment thoroughly out the Madonna is not there.

Csik agreed to search his room, out that was in vain.

Shall l stay?

No, just go on sailing.

What aoout your wife?

What do you mean?

Did you phone her?

Oh, that! No,

you can't just make a phone call in this country.

- l'll write her a card. - Do you have a pen?

ldiot.

Let it out!

Let it out!

One minute oefore the start.

55, 56,

57, 58, 59 - now!

Hurray!

Come on Dudus, go for it!

Look, we're falling oehind.

Pull in the main sail.

Hurry, there's something wrong.

There's aosolutely nothing.

Are you crazy?

Attention, the finals are coming.

631 1 .

1 : Otvos-Aros.

Now!

- Hello! - Hello, sir.

No. 402.

They've taken it already.

What do you mean, l live alone!

l've oeen waiting for you, colleague.

Naughty little ooy.

Don't you dare take my keys again without permission.

And l'm not your colleague, is that clear?

What's the news?

Nothing.

- Hello. - ls that you, Margit?

Yes.

No matter how hard you olow on it, it never topples.

Why not?

That's a complicated matter.

You can't understand.

Of course, l can. l'm not stupid.

lf it starts leaning, the wind hits a smaller surface,

and the ooat is pulled oack oy the weights in its keel. See?

lt's like a toy that always oounces oack. lt leans,

the weights pull it oack.

lt leans again, the weights...

Give it to me!

lt topples...

Here.

Hey, it sinks.

Hello, Hansi, ahoy!

Hello, old Matuska.

Hello, Mr. Otvos.

l'll pay the whole season for you.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

That felt good.

Congratulations, Csopi.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - My deepest regards.

ls your ooat on dry land, Mr. Csik?

That old wreck, yes, it is on the trailer.

l've just phoned to ltaly.

l asked them to send a new ooat.

l wish l could leave this old thing here...

Pardon.

Just stay here.

Didn't count on this, did you, Mr. Super Cop!

l just learnt through the phone

that you and Soltesz lived in Vienna for five years.

l tried to call you so many times, Margit.

What?

No, this is a oar. Or a oanquet. What the hell...

No, no, no. There are no women.

We're working. Working real hard.

No, there's nothing yet.

Nothing.

l was lucky.

l was lucky oecause Csik is a real sportsman.

Soltesz left the original sails at home out he used oorrowed ones.

And l was lucky oecause there was a strong wind,

and l figured from the swaying of the ooat that at least

200 kilograms were missing from the weights.

The little mishap of me shooting you won't even count

compared to your achievements.

Tell me just one thing.

The person with the other revolver

is not lstvan Csik, is he?

No, he's a jeweler.

He'd give anything for the Madonna.

And l'm fond of money.

Well, it's over.

This oullet will oe a revenge for Soltesz, too.

One... two...

Guns are really flying low nowadays.

l said, guns fly really low.

You don't understand the essence of our work, Margit.

Kovacs, follow me.

Arrest him!

Come on. Here.

Have you found it?

This is it, sir. Turn it towards us.

Lift up his chin!

- The lady as well, please. - Thank you.

Turn the Madonna around.

Just a second.

Very good.

Great. Smile.

Very good, thank you.

Come on, l'll ouy you a coke,

Mr. colleague.
