All language subtitles for POLLA, SIEMPRE POLLA

This is Macao

a fabulous speck
on the earth's surface

just off the south coast
of China

a 35-mile boat trip
from Hong Kong.

It is an ancient
Portuguese colony

quaint and bizarre.

The crossroads of the Far East.

Its population,
a mixture of all races

and nationalities

mostly Chinese.

Macao, often called
the Monte Carlo of the Orient

has two faces, one calm and open

the other, veiled and secret.

Here, millions in gold
and diamonds change hands.

Some across the gambling tables

some mysteriously in the night.

Macao is a fugitive's haven,
for at the three-mile limit

the authority
of the International Police

comes to an end.

This is all we found
on the body, sir.

Commander Stewart's office.

What?

Oh, yes. They have
the police commissioner

in New York, sir.

Hello? Hello? Commissioner?

Commander Stewart here

International Police, Hong Kong.

I'm afraid I have bad news
for you.

Your man, Lombardy..

Detective Lieutenant
Daniel Lombardy?

He's been murdered.

Body found in our waters
with a knife in his back.

It's too hot.

Here, this'll cool you off.

No, no more of that.

Now, take it easy.

That wasn't the way you talked

in Hong Kong this morning.

Buy you a ticket, you said,
"We'll have a few laughs."

If it's laughs you want,
you just sit there.

I'll tell you a few jokes.

Did you ever hear the one
about the man..

Now, don't get physical.

Which one of you is Cinderella?

- Get out of here. Beat it!
- Stick around.

I'm the one that's getting
out of here.

When I'm ready.

Will you get out of here
and close that door?

Would you mind giving me a hand?

Don't think
I wouldn't enjoy that.

- Let me go!
- I'll slug you!

So help me, I'll slug you.

Now, now, fold up your tent.

Why, you stupid..

What's your rush?

Stick around.
Music, whiskey, privacy.

Stick around.
Looks like a party.

Come on. Don't tell me
you're that exclusive.

One side, Clyde.

Some girls don't think
I'm so bad.

It's all a matter of taste.

Okay, buster, now, we're even.

We'll be in soon.
Only about 15 minutes late.

Your first trip to Macao?

From what I hear,
once is once too often.

Yeah, so I've heard.
But when you're in business

like I am, you have to go
where they send you.

Why are you making the trip?

You got any small questions?

Like the wife says,
I talk too much.

That's alright. I just
don't warm up to questions

when I don't know
the answers myself.

'I saw you when you
got on at Hong Kong.'

'I'd like to introduce myself.'

My name's Trumble.
Lawrence C. Trumble.

Dealer in coconut oil,
pearl buttons

fertilizer and nylon hose.

Well, no sale
on your other lines

Mr. Trumble, but, uh, did
I hear you mention nylons?

Size nine?

Size nine.

Wait a minute.
Not so fast. How much?

For free. No strings attached.

- Well, the price is right.
- Our special for today.

I'll never believe another
traveling salesman story.

- oh, excuse me.
- oh, yes.

- Enjoy the view?
- Well, it's not the Taj Mahal.

Or the Hanging Gardens
of Babylon

but, uh, it's not bad.

Did anyone ever tell you what
big blue eyes you have, grandma?

Uh, my name's Trumble,
Mister, uh..

- Mister, uh..
- Cochran.

I want you to meet an old friend
of mine, Miss, uh..

Miss..

Your old friend's name
is Julie Benton

and thanks again, Mr. Trumble.

Looks like you made a big hit.

My fatal charm.

Never misses, except with women.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Those two are mine.

One, two, three, four,
five, six. Chop, chop!

Hey.

You got a match?

This is one of those days
when the customs

will make us sweat.

Every time you enter port
around these parts

they go through your bags
as though they have

nothing else to do.

They haven't.

You're not smuggling
anything in, are you?

The way I hear it,
you smuggle things

out of here, not in.

'Your passport, please.'

How long do you plan to be here?

Your guess is as good as mine.

How long were you in Hong Kong?

Three weeks.

What were you doing there?

You don't really want me
to tell you, do you?

'Where were you
before you came to Hong Kong?'

'Saigon.'

How long were you in Saigon?

What are you, a cop?

If you're all through
throwing my stuff around

I'd like to get out of here.

Maybe you don't mind baking
in this oven, but I do.

'How much money
are you bringing'

'with you, senora?'

$29 Mex

and a handful
of Hong Kong paper.

Hardly enough
for an extended stay.

I'm gonna get a job.
Do you mind?

- What sort of a job?
- I'm a singer.

I wish you luck, senora.

Thanks.

Your passport, please.

That's me,
Lawrence C. Trumble, Manila.

Dealer in coconut oil,
pearl buttons

nylon hose,
fertilizer and cigars.

Any contraband?

Best in the world.

- Try some.
- Thank you.

Any currency?

Five-hundred greenbacks
printed in the USA.

Hope to have a lot more
if the dice

get as hot as the weather.

In Macao everything is a gamble.
Good luck.

Your passport, senor.

Your passport, senor!

You look like the kind of a man
who admires frankness

so I'm gonna tell you
the truth. I lost it.

I'm afraid, senor,
you'll have to report

to the police at once.

Don't let me drag you away
from the line of duty

but I was told to report to you.

I'm Lieutenant Jose Felizardo
Espirito Sebastian

at your service.

My wallet was in my pocket
when I boarded

that tub at Hong Kong

but, uh, somebody lifted it.

That is most unfortunate, senor.

Well, what happens now?

Do I get deported,
or thrown in the clink?

Neither, senor.
This is a Portuguese colony.

Always friendly and hospitable.

Have you any other means
of identification?

Yeah.

This took me three years,
five months

and 26 days to get.

You served as a lieutenant
in the Signal Corps

of the United States.

Unfortunately, Senor Cochran,
this finely engraved document

does not grant you the privilege
of traveling free as a bird

throughout the Orient.

I was afraid of that.

I suggest you contact
your consulate in Hong Kong.

How long did you intend
to remain in our city?

- That depends.
- on what?

On a certain female.
Lady luck.

I wish you well.

It is our fond hope
that all visitors to Macao

should feel as untroubled here
as Adam in the garden of Eden.

Untroubled?

That ain't the way I heard it.

This is the Rua da Felicidade.
Mucho fun.

'Win plenty money.'

Fan Tan, dice, big gambling.

Here come
biggest gambling house.

It's run by American gentleman.

Yeah?
What's his name?

Mr. Vincent Halloran.

Very important man.
Big boss.

- What's he boss of?
- 'What he is boss of?'

Most of Macao.
This his place.

Ling Tan the merchant
wants chips for this.

Claims it is worth 2,000.

Offer him 700.

Did your cousin arrive
on the noon ferry?

If he had,
he would be here by now.

It shouldn't take five days
to sell

a $100,000 necklace
in Hong Kong and come back

if he's coming back.

He's always returned before.

That's what I mean.

You don't want that junk.

Diamonds would only cheapen you.

Yeah. But what a way
to be cheapened.

As I anticipated

my connections in Hong Kong
were right.

No uniform, no badge,
no credentials

but I spotted him like that.

Stop taking bows and let's see

what he looks like.

These passengers
we already know.

These three are newcomers.

Doesn't a murder charge
ever get outlawed?

He will not be as easy
as the last one.

He looks easy enough.

oh, this is just a salesman,
Trumble of Manila.

This is the New York detective.

Where is he now?
Headquarters?

No. Nor do I think he will
ever visit the police.

He calls himself Nick Cochran.

He's at the Portugueza

pretending to be without money,
or passport.

Did you talk to him at all?

He insisted
on concealing his identity

so I played his little game.

Obviously, he has a plan
to take you back

to New York illegally.

This will happen
over my dead body.

That's what I like
about you, Sebastian.

Your unselfishness.

Think she's hooked up with him?

'Why?'

- Where's she staying?
- At his hotel.

Did they seem
to know each other?

I don't think so.

What does she say
she's here for?

'Besides her obvious talents,
she also sings.'

I happen to need a singer.

Are you an American?

Yeah, what's on your mind?

Is this really American money?

Where did you get this?

From an American lady
down the hall.

Yeah, it's the McCoy, alright

but you do me a favor
and hang on to it, will you?

I'd like to buy it
back from you.

There isn't enough

My sentiments exactly.

Now what about the wallet,
honey?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You just gave the bellboy
a $2 bill

that was part of a short snorter

that I carried
all through the war.

Get out of my room.

Look, honey,
I've had a hard day.

Now just give me the wallet

and we'll forget
the whole thing.

I've already forgotten it.
Shove.

Senora..
Ah, Senor Cochran.

You save me the need
for a visit.

It has become necessary

to enforce our laws
against vagrancy.

'Since you are without funds'

'you will leave Macao
at the first opportunity.'

My regret, senor.

What's that got to do
with your barging in here?

You will let me explain, senora.

I am not here to see you
in my official capacity.

I ought to make you apologize.

Haven't you lost a little weight

since I saw you last?

Now, will you get out of here?

In a moment, senora.

But first, please allow me

to be of some small service
to you.

I've heard that one before.

Oh, you misunderstand.

Okay, what is it?

I was at the dock
when I heard you say

that you are a singer.

"Felizardo", I said to myself

"Here is a beautiful young lady

to grace the dull existence
of Macao."

So being a man with
a practical side to my nature

I hurried
to Senor Vincent Halloran

owner of the largest gambling
establishment on the island.

"Vincent," I said

"our friendship is at an end"

"unless you give
this young lady a chance."

Does that mean
you've got a job for me?

Precisely.

Why didn't you say so?

Your pardon, senora

how soon can you
be at his office?

As soon as you get out of here,
I can get dressed.

Goodbye, Ms. Benton.

It is indeed a pleasure

to welcome a young lady graced

with such beauty of..

Yeah, yeah, officer, me too.

♪ Ocean breeze ♪♪

Where can I get a shave?

our hotel has the finest barber
in the orient.

This way.

I didn't see any phone
in my room.

How do you call Hong Kong?

There is no telephone connection

with Hong Kong.

If you wish to cable

the phone at my desk
is at your disposal.

I was just curious. What time
do the gambling halls open?

They never close.

Me wants a shavey,
easy side, chop, chop.

Who do you like this year?
The Giants, or the Dodgers?

Where'll I find Mr. Halloran?
He sent for me.

You'll find him in his office,
up those stairs.

Thanks.

Is Mr. Halloran in?

Hello.

That policeman friend of yours

said you might
have a job for me.

I might.
Ms. Benton, isn't it?

Yeah.

I've heard that all roads
lead to Macao.

But why did you wanna come here?

I was left a legacy
and I want to see the world.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

You must meet a great number
of people on your travels.

This fellow, for instance?

Sure.

Who is he?

My grandfather.
My mother won't let me go

anywhere without a chaperone.

I thought maybe he was part
of your "seeing the world."

I just met him on the boat.

Now that your legacy has been
used up, you need a job?

Listen, you sent for me.
This wasn't my idea.

We'll get along better
if you take

that chip off your shoulder.

It won't do you any good here.

Never did me any good any place.

Where have you been singing?

Everywhere.

I mean, recently.

Hong Kong,
till the boss got ideas.

I can easily see why.
Shall we say 100 a week?

I could sing better for 150.

My patrons come here to gamble.

I'll pay you 100.
Think it over.

I just did.

When do I start?

Call Gimpy.

How about two weeks' salary
in advance?

This is one time I won't say no.

This fellow you met on the boat

what does he do for a living?

I wouldn't know.
Why don't you ask him?

Gimpy, Ms. Benton's gonna
sing here.

That is fine, Ms. Benton.

Glad to know you.

- What's your real name?
- Gimpy.

Everyone calls him that.
Don't they, Gimpy?

Yes, sir.

See that she gets
something to wear

that does her justice.

Yes, sir.

Thanks, Mr. Halloran.

Try calling me Vince.

Okay, boss.

You got a match, lady?

Hi. What're you doing here?

Oh, just looking around.

Don't tell me
you've landed a job.

There's my piano player.

Come into my room
when you're ready, Ms. Benton.

'Come in.'

This man wants to see you.

Anything I could do for you,
Mr. Cochran?

How about a light?

'Go ahead.'

What's your problem?
Need a check cashed?

I need a bank account.

What's my picture doing
on your desk?

I like to keep posted
on every potential customer.

I'd like to work
on the other side of the table.

I don't suppose
you'd have a job for me?

What kind of training
have you had

for a job around here?

Well, I worked in
a gambling house in Singapore.

- Why'd you quit?
- Broke a house rule.

I let a heavy bettor win.

The same house rule
applies here.

After Singapore?

After Singapore,
I nursemaided a shipment

of machine guns to Iraq.

Then I went on to Cairo

got rid of a handful of stones

for a couple of refugees
who wanted visas.

That dough I blew
on slow horses.

Worked my way back to China
on a freighter.

Here I am, broke..

- ...ready to go on the payroll.
- Doing what?

Maybe you could use a skipper
on your trips to Hong Kong?

I can sail anything that floats.

You must have heard, I never go

beyond the three-mile limit.

Didn't they tell you
in New York?

I left New York five years ago.

Really, lieutenant?

Why the Lieutenant?

My friend Lieutenant Sebastian
of the police

told me of your commission,
in the army.

Now there's a job
you might have talent for

'on the police force.'

I'm not partial to the law.

As a matter of fact,
that's why I left the States.

I got into a little jam
back there.

How long ago was that?

I just told you.
Five years ago in New York.

What kind of a jam?
Kill someone?

No. You'd probably call it
smalltime stuff.

Smuggling arms,
getting rid of hot jewelry?

That's too bigtime for me.

Sorry I can't do anything
for you, lieutenant.

I'll try one of the spots
down the street.

You can't get a job
in this town.

Why don't you be smart and grab

the next boat back to Hong Kong?

Who's gonna provide
the finances?

I'll be glad
to give that some thought.

Are they always
that enthusiastic?

Always.

- Try again, Mr. Trumble?
- Sure. The night's young.

And I've got plenty of cabbage.

Come on, Nick. This Chinese
three-dice game is a pushover.

All you do is bet on high, low

or the number of points
that come up.

- No, thanks.
- High.

Seventeen high!

Well, easy come, easy go.

Are you sure you won't try
your luck?

Not the way it's running.

Why not, Mr. Cochran?

I have a feeling
this is your night.

Bet on three of a kind,
you get 35 to one.

Three sixes for instance.

How often does that come up?

I have a hunch
it might happen right now.

Three sixes.
Shoot the works.

Would you like some fresh dice?

You know them better than I do.

High.

Three sixes.

My, lady luck didn't just
smile at you, brother

she got hysterical!

Pay Mr. Cochran $350.

Three hundred and fifty.

Let it ride, lieutenant.
On the triple six.

The man says let it ride.

Same dice?

Same dice, if you don't mind.

'Three sixes.'

I see it, but don't believe it.

Six sixes in a row.

Thirty-five times 350.

Pay the man $12,250.

Why stop now?

Don't tell me
to let it all ride.

Why not?
Triple-six and you're rich.

Don't look at me.

Here's the $20 I owe you.
Let the rest of it ride.

'Two sixes and a two.'

You owe me $20.

That's what happens
when you press your luck.

Would you like these
for a souvenir?

Any other ideas
to liven up the evening?

Possibly.

Mala, 50 cents on three sixes.
What can I lose?

Aren't you taking the advice
I gave you this afternoon?

About going back to Hong Kong?
What do I use for money?

If you'd won that last throw
of the dice..

If is the story of my life,
Mr. Halloran.

'You know,
you could have kept $12,000.'

Half of that ought
to interest you.

- It does.
- The money and your ticket..

...to Hong Kong will be here
in my office tomorrow.

In time to take the noon ferry.

Alone.

Rickshaw!

- Hi.
- Hey.

- How did you do?
- I don't know yet.

Did you catch my act?

I didn't exactly fracture
the people, did I?

oh, I'd say you were doing
alright for yourself.

How about a lift? Hop in.

Now what would
Mr. Halloran say?

Look, I'll choose my own friends

if you don't mind.

Alright, I apologize.

Skip it.

Why don't you take
that chip off your shoulder?

Every time I do somebody hits me

over the head with it.

I said I was sorry.

I never got around
to thanking you

for giving Sebastian
that body block.

You don't have to thank me.

I know I don't.

It was my money
in the first place.

Thanks, anyway.

What made you do it?

I don't know. When he started
throwing his weight around

I guess I felt sorry for you.

I've been in jams
like that myself.

You got anything special
to do tonight?

Why don't we go for a ride
around the harbor in a sampan?

Why not?

'So then you decided
to become a singer?'

No. No, I didn't start
singing professionally

until after I quit being
a fortune teller.

Fortune teller?
You're kidding.

No.

I worked in the night clubs
in Miami.

First as a photographer,
and then as a cigarette girl.

You know,
long black mesh stockings

and a short velvet skirt.

Then they told me
I could make more money

as a fortune teller, so..

What did you know
about telling fortunes?

Nothing.
Here, give me your hand.

I see that
you've been very lonely

and that you're worried
about money

and there's something
in your past

that you regret very much

and you've been looking
for something

for a long, long time.

Guilty.

Not just you, everybody.

Everybody's lonely
and worried and sorry.

Everybody's looking
for something.

You, too?

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah, when I'm in action

I manage to push it
out of my mind.

But...every now and then,
like right now I..

What are you looking for?

I don't know.

I don't know whether
it's a person, or a place

but I go right on looking.

Well, there are lots of places.

I found one on an island

called Rangdavi
in the Melanesians.

- Did you ever hear of it?
- No.

Great.

Clean white beach,
beautiful bay, green hills.

Friend of mine owns
a plantation there.

He offered me a job as manager.

And you turned him down?

I've been lonely in Times Square

on New Year's Eve.

Being on an island all by myself

I figured I'd go crazy.

Hmm, I'd have taken it.

You mean, you'd go
for a life like that?

Like a shot.

Julie.

I'm listening.

- Look..
- Oh.

...I know this is, I know
this is a little abrupt.

I don't carry
a lot of credentials

around with me,
but I'm fairly honest.

I've done a lot of things
in my life..

Running a plantation's
hard work.

I'm not afraid of hard work.

You're not kidding, are you?

No.

When, Nick? When?

When?
I can leave tomorrow.

There's another Rangdavi,
I'll find it.

As soon as I get there,
I'll send for you.

We can meet in a month.

Thirty days.

What's the matter?

Take me back to the hotel,
will you?

It's getting cold.

Why?

I wanna get off this yacht, now.

Turn this thing around,
will you?

Come in.

Greetings!

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Who's been sending you posies?

The only time
I'll ever get flowers

will be at my funeral.

I'll bet you the 20 I owe you

you'll never guess
who sent these.

No bet.

I should have left
with you last night.

- Went to the cleaners, huh?
- Yeah, and how.

Too bad you didn't hit
that last triple six.

I can still pick up
half the dough

I won on that second roll.

Yeah? How?

All I have to do
is collect $6,000

from Halloran
and take the noon boat.

All I have to do is believe you.

No, I'm serious.

You mean to tell me Halloran is
willing to give you

all that moolah just
to get out of town?

That's what the man says.

For that kind of dough,
I'd swim back to Hong Kong.

What's his angle?

He wants a clear field
with Julie, I guess.

Figures he'll make a big man
out of himself with her

by riding me out of town
on a golden rail.

What time are you leaving?

I'm not.

As long as you're gonna stay

you and I can go into
business together.

What are we gonna use
for capital?

Would that do?

Belongs to a necklace
of 14-carat stones.

Twenty of them, all perfect.

- Where'd you get it?
- Sideline.

The necklace is in Hong Kong
in a safe at The Grand Hotel.

Sizzles like a fried egg.

It's cool enough to be sold.

It's worth a 100,000.

I'll take forty.

If you sell it,
ten percent is yours.

That's 4,000.

Why do you want a middleman?

I don't wanna mix it up
with my legitimate business.

Now where am I gonna find
some sweet old dowager

who'll just hand me $40,000
and no questions asked?

I figure Halloran.

I'm listening.

Tell him where the rest
of the necklace is.

If he wants to make a deal,
it's got to be cash

in your hands, in Hong Kong.

How do you know
I won't run out on you?

I don't.

Aha! The lady
of the loaded dice.

You're up early for a loser.

You can't make
a dishonest dollar

lying in bed.

Is Halloran around?

Mr. Halloran is busy
counting out your dowry.

You ready to leave?

Unless you've got
a better offer.

It won't buy a ticket
to Hong Kong.

You suppose you could
tear yourself away from me

long enough
to tell the boss I'm here?

What's your hurry?

This has been burning
a hole in my pocket.

How long have you had that?

It's part of
the old family fortune.

My calling card.

I hear you've come
into money.

Oh, you mean
this little trinket?

It's nothing, really.

This usually hangs on
for dear life

to a necklace of 20 flawless
14-carat diamonds.

- Where did you pick it up?
- In a silk hat.

I use diamonds
instead of rabbits.

How much for the works?

I'll let them find a new home
for $40,000.

I'm always in the market
for first-rate stuff.

Like it?

I always have.

Where's the rest
of the necklace?

I left it in Hong Kong.
Careless of me, wasn't it?

It all depends.
We might make a deal.

Why don't you pick up the
necklace and bring it back here?

The deal has to be made
in Hong Kong.

ltzumi, you feel like a trip?

The boat's in order, sir.

Do you think that's
such a good idea

going off on a blind date
with a hatchet-man?

Oh, you want me to go with you?

If you want the necklace.

Come in.

- How'd you make out?
- We're in business.

- Price okay, huh?
- No argument.

I'm meeting Halloran
at the dock at 9:30 tonight

and we're taking his boat.

Be careful,
his crew might jump you.

There won't be any crew.

The two of us are going alone.

Nice work.

I was just gonna ask you
where I could borrow one.

Sideline.

Here's the key to my box
in the safe at The Grand Hotel.

Ask for Mr. Stewart.

I'll cable him you're coming.

I ought to be back by morning.

'By the way..'

...ever think of going home?

I can't go home
any more than you can

even if I wanted to.

'Why not?'

Oh..

...little hassle
over a redhead.

Somebody fired a shot.

It turned out to be me.

The other guy get killed?

No.

But I got all the way to China

before I found that out.

Then I just kept on going.

A smart guy would go home
and face the music.

That's great advice
coming from you.

I don't see you trying
to clear up your own record.

I'll go back one of these days

or my name isn't
Lawrence C. Trumble.

What does the "C" stand for?

Cicero, but keep it
under your hat.

What else would I do with it?

Thanks for the flowers.

I couldn't afford a wreath.

What happened with you
last night?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

You mean you just
turn it on, turn it off.

And nothing, eh?

I'm a creature of moods.

What did I do?

Look at him, he's only a boy.

Now wait a minute,
tell me what I did.

Well, you're registered,
that's all.

I thought you were
something special

and suddenly, you're registered.

I said to myself,
"Oh, that kind."

I've got a whole cigar box
full of that kind.

You know, you're wrong.

- I'll see you in a month.
- Listen to me, will you?

Oh, come now.

It won't be a month.

I wasn't trying any routine
last night, believe me.

I wish I could believe you.

Sometimes I get so tired

just remembering
to keep my guard up.

Let's go someplace
where we can sit down

and cool off and talk.

I can't. Gimpy's waiting.
I have to rehearse.

Maybe after the show.

I'm going to Hong Kong tonight.

I'll be back tomorrow.

- How come?
- Deal.

If it works out, we'll have
all the money we need.

Are you sure you have
to rehearse right now?

Pretty sure.

- When are you leaving?
- In a couple of hours.

Will I see you tomorrow?

You try not to and see
what happens.

In the meantime,
see if you can manage

to stay away from Halloran.

Never touch the stuff.

Quick reward.

Ahoy there!

Are they biting today?

I heard there were
sharks out here

but I'm willing
to settle for a sardine.

Careful of the sun.

How about coming on board

for a drink and some shade?

You don't have to ask me twice.

Here we are.

Gentlemen,
this is Lieutenant Bryan

of the New York
Police Department.

- Mr. Chang.
- Mr. Chang.

Mr. Alvaris,
of the International Police.

- Mr. Alvaris. Why not?
- How about a drink?

We have been watching for you
for two days.

First chance I've had
to get away.

You fellows from the States

don't care how far
you sling your nets

to catch one fish.

Well, this one's a whopper.

We've been after him
for two years.

How do you like my boat?

Oh, looks okay.

I didn't keep you waiting?

No, no, I just got here myself.

If you're looking
for your girlfriend

she won't be with you tonight.

You know about last night, huh?

That's the trouble with women,
they talk too much.

How do you suppose
I'm making out with her?

Let's go aboard.

What a cheap police trick.

Thought I wouldn't
recognize the stuff

I sent to Hong Kong
only a week ago.

Risk the three-mile limit?
Not me.

You sent for me,
o' Genghis Khan?

You don't mind, do you?
Sit down.

What are you celebrating
tonight?

We'll have a drink,
then go on my boat

and I'll tell you all about it.

I'll take a rain check
for that boat ride.

Maybe you prefer a sampan.

Maybe, Mr. Halloran.

How long did it take you
to call him Nick, last night?

Look, Julie, I like you.

So let me set you straight on
Mr. Nick Cochran.

He's a detective lieutenant
sent out from New York

with orders to bring me back.

He was making a play for you

so you'd help him
get close to me.

I don't believe you.

What makes you think I'm a liar?

I wanna hear what
Nick has to say

when he gets back tomorrow.

It ought to be very interesting.

When you've made up your mind
about him, let me know.

I'll be waiting.

Aren't you afraid
of falling in the water?

I live in a sampan,
like the others.

You didn't hear a boat leave
here in the last hour or so?

A motorboat?

You didn't hear anything?

- I heard a fight.
- Where?

Something went wrong.

Who's been chasing you?

Who's been chasing me?

Did you ever hear of
the United States Marines?

Assume that I have, what is it?

"To the Commissioner of Police

"you are advised
Mr. Nick Cochran, an American

"has been reported missing
as of last night.

"We would appreciate
your cooperation

regarding his whereabouts."

Signed by the American Consul
in Hong Kong.

- When did it arrive?
- Fifteen minutes ago.

How did the consul
find out about Cochran?

All I know, the commissioner
called us all in

gave me this cable, told me
to find Cochran or resign.

Get on the phone.

Find out who cabled
the consulate.

This is Lieutenant Felizardo
Jose Espirito Sebastian.

Take off the gold braid.

This is Lieutenant Sebastian,
I want the cable office.

This is Lieutenant Sebastian.

I want the list
of everyone who sent a cable

in the past 24 hours.

A list! The entire list!

Don't tell me not to scream!

I'll scream as much as I please!

How many went out!
Who sent them!

Every single name!

Oh!

No cables went out
in the past 24 hours.

Aren't you afraid
someone might hear you?

I brought you some breakfast.

It's the first time
I ever saw a warden

dolled up in a negligee.

Who was it that tapped me
into dreamland last night

and rolled me for
the diamond and the gun?

Rice cakes?

Delicious.

All they left me was
that set of loaded dice.

You do remember these,
don't you?

How come they dragged me up here

instead of dumping me
in the bay?

You know, you remind me

of an old Egyptian girlfriend
of mine.

The sphinx.

Are you partial
to females made of stone?

Good morning, Miss Benton.
Did you sleep well?

Who slept?

Mr. Cochran hasn't
returned yet, has he?

Not to my knowledge.

Rickshaw!

Rickshaw!

What is it?

Are we alone?

Is anyone listening?

Why?

Are you a friend
of the young American?

Nick? Where is he?

He's in trouble.

What trouble?

I'll tell you as we walk.

Are you sure this is the place?

Up those stairs,
first door to your right.

If you're looking
for your friend.

What's he doing here?

'Ever hear of the word privacy?'

Well, you certainly
do get around, don't you?

I just wanted to know
if you were alright.

Why don't you ask Margie?

He was afraid to go home
in the fog

and my guest room was handy.

You left out a few details,
honey.

Did you find him?

Yes, I found him, alright.

Thanks.

I took this town and choked it
with my bare hands

until it coughed up.

You have gone far,
Mr. Halloran.

Far? I can't go beyond
the three-mile limit.

'And even with Cochran
under lock and key'

'I can't leave Macao until
I know who's working with him.'

How did this diamond get away
from my fence in Hong Kong?

Who communicated with the
American consul last night?

'What kind of a spy system
have you got?'

It was I who discovered
that someone

had used
the shortwave on your boat.

Congratulations,
but who used it?

Not Trumble, not the girl.
We've got to make Cochran talk.

I beg of you. Nothing must
happen to the American.

- My job is at stake.
- My life is at stake.

If it were anyone else, I'd say
that you were frightened.

I'll show you
how frightened I am.

I send a $100,000 necklace
to Hong Kong and what do I get?

I get Cochran with a stone
from my necklace.

Well, I've had enough of that.

I'm going to Hong Kong
myself tonight.

Where are the Rover Boys?

You'd better hurry.

They're in the kitchen eating.

Maybe they're down
in the street eating.

Maybe you don't want to leave.

Why you doing all this?

When you leave Macao

don't forget to take
that canary with you.

Thanks, doll.

Cochran?

I sent him out for an airing.

I'll go get help.

No, no good now.

Sorry, tried to get..

Tried to use you to get Halloran
out to the police boat

at the three-mile limit.

I thought you could help.

Hide, or he'll get you, too.

Go home.

I fixed it with
police headquarters..

...in New York.

Get out of here!

Now, wait a minute,
let me talk to you.

Blondes he wants.

Cut it out, will you?
What are we?

Delegates to a peace conference?

'I couldn't help it.'

She had a gun in your back.

- Stand still.
- There was a gun in my back.

You're a liar!

I'm not trying to lie to you.

They would've killed me.

- Oh.
- They killed Trumble tonight.

Oh, yes.

Oh, no.

isn't there something
you can do about it?

What can I do?

What's the matter?
Didn't it happen on your beat?

What do you mean?

Stop it, I know you're a cop.

- Me?
- Yes, Halloran told me.

You're a New York cop come
to take him back to the States.

That was Trumble,
Trumble was the cop.

They got the right man tonight,
and they didn't know it.

That knife they stuck in him
was meant for me.

Come on, get dressed
and let's go.

- Go where?
- Anywhere off this island.

Saigon.

I got a good connection
in Saigon.

I'm so tired of running.

What else can we do?

I don't know, I was never
considered a brain

but...I wanna go home.

I can't. Maybe you can,
but I can't.

Wouldn't it wash off
a lot of black marks

if you could deliver Halloran?

Trumble said something
about that.

Oh, no, nothing would make
Halloran leave Macao.

He's leaving Macao tonight.

He's going to Hong Kong
on his boat.

Asked me to go with him.

Well, Julie Benton,
girl companion.

And what did you say?

- I told him I'd think it over.
- You did?

Well, you annoyed me a little

when you belted me
with that blonde.

I won't go.

I think you'd better.

Will it help you?

I think it will.

Let's go below.

What are you doing here?

Is your master leaving
for Hong Kong tonight?

Yes.

Is he afraid..

...of the detective?

Not anymore.

I took care of that.

And his friends?

Did he lead you to them?

You heard what I said!

'Cast off.'

We must have passed
the three-mile limit by now.

Why were they after you,
or shouldn't I ask?

Some day when I get to know you
better, I'll tell you.

Ahoy there, need any help?

I could have used
you five minutes ago.

I presume that's Halloran?

What's left of him, yeah.

I'm Stewart of
the international police.

- Where's Lieutenant Bryan?
- Bryan?

I think you knew him as Trumble.

He didn't make it, captain.

I see.

'Come aboard
and tell me about it.'

Nick, are you alright?

I've got some
unfinished business.

'You can make
your report in Hong Kong.'

But you're all wet.

You'd better start
getting used to me

fresh out of the shower.
