Original subtitles

Max: This is my boss, Jonathan Hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H.

She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them, which ain't easy

because when they met, it was murder.

Did you get it?

You're sweating.

A police car drove by.

Did it stop?

No, but that's not the point.

We're taking too many risks.

I do the work.

You sit in the car and wait

and you're the one who sweats?

I could not face going to jail.

All right. All right, Jose.

Let's make this our parting glory.

Wanna see it?

- It's exquisite. - Yes, it is.

It would be more exquisite when our contact

in Los Angeles give us

a million Yankee dollars for it.

I'll take it.

California, here we come.

Great.

Mr. H, looks really fantastic out there.

Yeah, doesn't he?

I mean, his game.

Oh, of course his game.

Hey, I think the opposition has arrived.

Oh.

The Argentine champions.

They don't look too hard to beat.

It didn't look hard to beat last year

and they tromped all over us.

Yay.

After watching Mr. H,

I'm gonna bet a few Somalians on Saturday's match.

Max, polo's an amateur game,

you're not supposed to bet on it.

But I know a guy.

Whoa. Well, done.

Oh, thank you.

Thanks, Michelle.

Oh.

That is for skill and ingenuity.

Oh, yeah?

What's that for?

Me.

Excuse me, Jonathan.

- Oh, Jose. Excuse the glove. - Hello.

Remember my wife, Jennifer?

This is Jose, the captain of the Argentinean team.

I remember Jose and I remember very well

what you said last year.

What was that?

You said the American team was good

but not as good as we are.

Oh, yes. And I remember you said

wait until next year. I think she wants to see

this championship ring on you, Jonathan.

I certainly do.

How about going up to the club and having a cold drink?

- Great. - Oh, that will be fine.

Jose, there's a couple of new players

I like to have you meet.

Is Winston Scott is still on the team?

Oh, he's in Athens.

I think he's buying another boat for his fleet.

Perhaps.

You all right, Jose?

Yes, I am.

I have a little jet lag supposedly.

Oh, well, I hope you get some rest

before tonight's gala.

I would not miss the chance to dance with you Senora.

Oh, thank you very much.

Excuse me, Jonathan.

I have something for you.

Please regard this as a token of my affection

in honor of our long0standing friendship.

- One of your mallets. - A very special one.

It has been in my family for many years.

It is the one my father used to help us

win the world cup in 1947.

Oh, Jose, I appreciate this very much

but really I can't accept it.

That belongs in your family, Jose.

No, please. I beg you.

I brought it especially for you,

to give to you.

I'm very honored and I thank you.

Thank you.

Ah, to think of it, I must take a rain check,

now, on your hospitality.

I have work to do.

I'll see you tonight.

Thank you.

First, we have to decide whether or not

we're gonna mount it under glass

or sort of leave it all natural.

Darling, pheasants are mounted under glass.

Polo mallets are shellac.

Oh.

Oh, that's a good place for it,

right above the mantel.

I was saving that place for a fish.

The last one you caught would make a great bookmark.

That's cute.

Max, right now we need some suggestions

on where to put the mallet.

Any ideas?

You really want me to tell you where to put it?

In the hall closet way in the back.

Be serious, Max.

Mrs. H, these Argentinean guys beat us last year.

It's bad luck to stick up their mallet.

Max, luck is not going to determine the winner of the game.

No, but at 5 to 1, every little bit helps.

Well, look, we don't have to decide

where we're gonna put it right away.

We can go ahead and have it mounted

and then we can figure out what we're gonna do with it.

Yeah, I could take it over to Eddie's place.

He was gonna do that fish for you, Mr. H,

but he could not find a case small enough.

You too have your fun, but someday

I'm going to catch a fish that's going to make

Jaws look like a sardine.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, we need to postpone

delivering until tomorrow.

I don't deal in last minute changes.

I understand and I'm sorry,

but you see we ran the risk of losing

the emerald all together.

This is very good.

I can assure you,

you will have the stone tomorrow.

- Are you coming? - Later.

Thanks again.

He must have run into some problem.

If you ask me, he is the problem.

What do you need him for?

You're the one who takes the risks,

he's a liability.

Besides, he doesn't have my charm.

Touche.

You and I can still do business.

It's always business with you, isn't it Fernando?

Not always.

You're slipping, you've got 24 hours.

- Thank you. - Oh, thank you, dear.

Good evening.

- Well. - Here's to you

- for proving me wrong. - About what?

Every time I don't think you can look better,

you always surprise me.

Oh, thank you.

You don't believe me?

It's him, I'm telling you.

The same man I saw in Rome,

in Paris and Buenos Aires.

He's been following us around the world.

You're jumping at shadows

and drinking too much.

You think I'm making this up?

That man is out to get us.

Perhaps, you are too blinded

by our buyer to notice what happens.

Who do you think he is?

Police, insurance.

I don't know.

He is someone official.

You panicked and handed

a million dollar emerald to Jonathan Hart.

I had to get rid of it.

Fernando: Well now, you have to get it back.

Well, I can't.

Not yet.

I had to insist he accept the mallet.

I'll think of something.

No, you've done enough.

I'll think of something.

Jonathan is a fortunate man.

Oh, thank you very much, Jose.

He'll even be more fortunate.

When he wins that ring from you on Saturday.

Well, if he does.

Huh?

He already possesses the real prize.

Jose, are all Argentineans that complimentary?

Fernando, do me a favor, would you, please?

- I'd be glad to. - Round up your team,

I'd like to introduce them of the rest of our members.

- It will be an honor. - Thank you.

He's here.

I saw him just two minutes ago.

Where?

He disappeared, I turn around...

I need a drink.

Not now.

Hart is about to introduce the team.

For God's sake, wipe your face.

You look as if you're in a sauna.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain of the American team

Jonathan Hart.

Ladies and gentlemen.

It is indeed our pleasure

to be your host this evening.

And for me, as captain of the American team,

I have the pleasant task of welcoming our visitors.

Worthy world champions,

the National Polo Club of Argentina.

Jonathan, Jennifer, distinguished host.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

I...

may I say, on behalf of all of us,

what an honor it is.

It is an honor to be once more in your...

This... your wonderful country.

We are to meet old friends,

we look forward...

Something's happening...

Jonathan: Thanks very much doc, I appreciate your call.

Bye-bye.

Preliminary report says that he had a heart attack.

A man in his 30s?

An international sportsman in perfect shape?

Doesn't make sense.

Well, what do you two want for breakfast?

No, I don't care about anything, thanks, Max.

You got to eat, you got a big match coming up.

Maybe not.

It's up to the Argentineans, maybe they'll postpone.

Hart residence.

Hold it, please.

Fernando Olvera.

Okay, hold on.

Yeah, hello, Fernando.

Hi, Jonathan, the team met this morning

and decided that Jose would have wanted

the game to go on as scheduled.

Well, whatever you think is best.

Is there any way I can help?

They picked me to take over as captain

and I would like to arrange

a practice session this morning.

- No problem. - Fernando: Will you be there?

There are certain rules

I would like to discuss with you.

Questions of interpretation.

- Jonathan: How about 11:00? - That'll be fine.

Thank you. Bye-bye, Jonathan.

All arranged.

You'd better hope so.

Jennifer: All right, Lieutenant,

he's at the polo fields right now

but I'll get word to him right away.

- Oh, hi, darling. - Hi.

Jonathan: I thought you're gonna have lunch with Jenny.

I am, I'm on my way.

What a surprise.

Lieutenant Draper called before I left the house.

They've done an autopsy on Jose

and there's some doubt he may have died

of a heart attack. They're doing some tests.

Well, what else could it be?

You know Lieutenant Draper.

He's not chatty at the best of times.

I did feel

that he was trying to hold something back.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know.

Have a nice lunch, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

Are you hurt?

It's nothing serious,

it's my bad knee seizes I have regularly.

- I'll give you a hand. - No, I'm fine,

I just need to rest in a hot tub or something.

I'll be fine.

You can stay here and my gauchos

can go over things with you.

I'll be okay.

All right, mister.

Let's see how much you want to play this game.

Oh, boy.

Thanks.

Freeway, either you help me

with these groceries or no dinner.

Hart residence.

Max?

Has Jonathan come home yet?

No. I don't think so.

Freeway and I just got in.

Is there anything wrong?

I'm not sure.

I'll be home in a little while.

Okay.

What's with all this barking...

Come in.

- Hi. - Hi.

- How are you feeling? - Fine.

Well, you look great.

You really do.

We talked to your doctor.

He said you won't play the violin again.

The way that guy messed up with my vocal chords

I won't be singing no opera either.

We're glad you're alright.

Thanks.

What did the cops get?

Well, apparently the man was a real pro.

He took out the alarm system

and he didn't leave any prints.

What did he take?

The Cezanne, the silver, jewelry?

As far as we can tell, nothing.

Doesn't make any sense.

How long was I out?

Twenty minutes, he could have cleaned us out.

None of it makes any sense, Max.

- Jose, was murdered. - Murdered?

Yeah. The coroners office called and said

there were traces of poison in his bloodstream.

I wonder if Jose's murder, the break in,

and that man that followed me

were connected somehow?

Well, you know, how Lieutenant Draper talks.

He has to have proof, he has to check it out.

Talking about checking out,

I'd like to leave this joint.

Only when the doctor says you can.

Why shouldn't he?

I feel great.

Well, on the other hand,

I still get dizzy now and then.

Oh, I almost forgot,

the mallet will be ready the day after tomorrow.

I left the claim check by the phone in the kitchen.

Thanks, Max.

Feel better, Max.

Take it easy with the temperature.

Right.

What do you need the thermometer for?

My mom used to kiss me on the forehead.

That's the car that followed me.

- Are you sure? - I'm positive.

Are those the same plates?

The same plates, same model,

same color, same year.

And the same driver, Mrs. Hart.

Mr. Hart.

I'm listening.

Let me explain.

If you reach into my jacket pocket

and take out my ID.

Uh, darling, I think we ought to let him go.

I think we ought to call the police.

He is the police.

Interpol.

Between the two of you,

I may have to consider another line of work.

You're quite a driver, Mrs. Hart.

Thank you.

I didn't want to alarm you.

I just wanted to talk to you

when Jose wasn't around.

Maybe you better fill in some of the gaps, Inspector.

In the past year, there have been major

jewelry robberies in London, Paris,

Hong Kong and Buenos Aires. In each case,

the Argentine polo team was in town at the time.

But why should you suspect Jose?

He gambled heavily and he lost.

He had two houses, six servants, a string of polo ponies to feed

and no income and polo is not a poor man's sport.

You do know that he inherited his father's fortune.

Most of that had gone.

His creditors were pounding on his door.

But that's no reason to think him a criminal.

Somebody killed him in a particularly nasty

and premeditated way.

That suggests the other partner,

who realized he was very close to cracking

and who decided it might be safer to do it alone.

That's a very interesting theory.

May I ask one question?

Uh-hmm.

Why did you think that my wife could help?

Forgive me.

But the way he was looking at you

when you were dancing with him last night,

it occurred to me

that he might have confided in you.

He didn't say anything out of the ordinary as I recall.

Too bad.

I thought you might be able to give me some lead.

But, thank you, anyhow.

Thank you very much for your time.

Of course.

If anything occurs to you,

I can be reached at this number.

Oh, thank you.

If you ever want to give driving lessons

to our police, we'd be very happy to have you.

Well, thank you very much, Inspector,

but I think I've done the last of my wheelies.

- Good night. - Good night.

Thank you.

I just can't believe Jose is a jewel thief.

It's the partner I'm worried about.

You mean, in case he's on the team?

But that would mean that one of the polo players

broke in here last night.

But why?

- The mallet. - The mallet.

It's not in here.

Well, it's not in here either.

Where did Max take it?

Eddie's Place.

We can get the address on the car phone.

He said he'd wait for us,

but it looks pretty dark.

We missed him.

Jonathan: Eddie?

Hello, Eddie?

Anybody here?

The lights are dead.

Let's hope Eddie isn't.

Jonathan.

Jonathan!

Give me a hand with this.

That was pretty good sword play.

I don't know. It's all pretty fishy to me.

A polo mallet?

Whoever it was knew that Jose had given me the mallet.

And they obviously broke in here to steal it back.

How's Eddie?

He'll be all right.

Unfortunately, he didn't see his attacker.

Neither did Max.

Neither did we.

I assume he found the mallet there and ran out,

but thank you for your cooperation.

Aren't you gonna call Lieutenant Draper?

What for?

Well one consideration might be

to search the Argentinean's hotel rooms.

They'll never get a warrant.

We do not have one solid piece of evidence.

Besides, our man has probably

disposed off the emerald by now.

But thank you again. Good night.

Always the professional, Fernando.

You could've brought the emerald with you.

Well, you could have brought the cash with you.

And tempt the hotel maids?

When can you have it?

Tomorrow, after you've won the game.

It was careless of you to lose the ring.

Yes, I know.

If Mr. Hart finds it,

you'll have to kill him with your Latin charm.

Shh. Shh.

It's time to wake up.

I was awake after the first kiss.

I've got something for you.

- You do? - Um-hmm, breakfast.

Oh.

Oh, breakfast.

Oh, lovely.

Thank you, darling.

Great.

Don't say anything to Max, though.

You know how sensitive he gets

when somebody starts taking over his job.

Ah, Max.

Max.

What time is it?

Oh, about 11:00.

I'm late.

I promised Max that I'd make him two corned beef sandwiches

and take them to the hospital before I went to the game.

Lots of mustard.

No. Mustard on one, butter on the other.

Corned beef and butter?

- Jennifer: Mary Ann. - Mary Ann?

Mary Ann, the nurse.

She likes corned beef and butter.

Max said what she lacks in taste,

she makes up for in, bedside manner.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

Uh, I'll make the sandwiches

and drop them off at the hospital.

You go onto the polo fields and I'll meet you there.

- Okay? - All right, darling.

Oh, good luck in the game.

Ah, thanks.

Well, Freeway, how do you like your eggs?

Scrambled? Here, come on.

Atta boy.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain of the American team,

Jonathan Hart.

And the captain of the Argentinean team,

Fernando Olvera,

leading their teams onto the field

for this international match.

Man: They will play seven chukkas,

a period of seven minutes each.

Freeway.

Oh, all right, Freeway. I'll give you a little...

What's that?

Announcer: Teams will switch ends after each goal.

For those of you who are not familiar with polo,

the game is believed to have originated in the Orients.

Some say it was invented

by the cavalry of Genghis Khan.

Man: Bien, si.

Announcer: Today, it is a worldwide sport and an Olympic event.

Each team consists of four riders.

The Argentine side includes

Olympic medalist, Carlos Garcia.

And international stars, Ricardo Reino

and Rafael Federico Suarez.

Yeah.

- Play! - Man: And play has begun.

Man: The Argentine team on the attack.

Olvera has it.

It looks like we have a breakaway.

He shoots again.

He shoots and it's a goal.

A beautiful goal.

Announcer: Argentina opens the scoring.

Announcer: And now we're five and a half minutes

into the second chukka, Hart charging

the Argentine goal.

Riding hard.

He shoots.

Man: The American captain, Jonathan Hart,

levels the score at one goal each.

- Jonathan! - Man: Olvera's charging.

He broke his mallet.

Time will be called while we have an equipment change

Give me an 82.

Jonathan!

Come on, hurry up.

Come on!

Freeway found this by the refrigerator.

Whoever hit Max is on that field.

Without it.

Man: And now play has commenced.

It's all over, Fernando.

There's no more ring around the collar.

You are right, Mr. Hart.

It's all over.

Someday, Mr. Hart.

Right.

When you get out of prison.

Be sure and give us a ring.

Jonathan: Yeah, I understand, Max.

But you are in the hospital to rest.

Uh-huh.

Okay, good night.

Sleep well. Yes, I'll tell her.

- Good night. - How is he?

He's now insisting on around the clock nursing service.

Oh. That sounds like him.

I'll say.

- Darling? - Uh-hmm.

Why don't you look under your pillow?

Why? Did the tooth fairy leave me something?

Maybe.

- Serious? - Uh-hmm.

The championship ring.

- You like it? - Oh, I love it.

That's very cute of you.

You do know that, uh, officially,

- play was abandoned? - Of course.

But you would've won, I'm sure of it.

- You think so? - Uh-hmm.

Why don't you look under your pillow?

Why? Did the tooth fairy bring me something, too?

Go ahead, take a look.

Oh, you didn't.

You like it?

Oh, it's beautiful.

I talked to the owner in Buenos Aires.

The Estrada Emerald is now the Hart Emerald.

Oh, darling, thank you.

Shall we see if it glows in the dark?

Hmm.

Oh, it's glowing Oh.
