Thank you.

Well, there you are, old boy. Take a look at that. Bags of fresh air, bags of

sunshine. You're the Mediterranean.

A bit better than that dump I found you staying at, eh? No comparison.

Hey, this is great.

Lucky thing for you, you ran into me, really, isn't it?

Boy, was I surprised.

Let's see, when was the last time we saw one of that?

When you and some of the other raft types threw that going away party for

me, remember?

Can't say I remember much about the end of it. No, as I recall, I poured you in

the bed.

Oh, that was you, was it? I wondered how I got there.

You've been in America ever since?

Ever since.

Gee, this is really nice.

Oh, you're a commission.

How about taking a lunch?

I'm sorry, I have a date for lunch.

Oh?

How about a drink?

Well, that's a good idea. Just time for a quickie. What are you waiting for?

Come on.

Have a nice little bar down here.

Yes to us.

Careful, darling.

We're not in London now.

I wish we were.

I'm the boss there.

But Mr. Darius is the international chairman.

And I'm his fiancée.

His what?

Mr. Darius wouldn't like the way you said that.

Oh, Tony.

Hello, Mitzi.

May I introduce Mr. Philip Graham, Mr. Graham, Miss Molnar, Mr. Carey. Oh. Mr.

Philip Graham, the songwriter?

Uh-huh.

Perhaps I can persuade you to write a number for me for my new show.

Perhaps. I always insist on staying here, although my fiancée has a villa

just along the coast. Hello,

my darling.

May I introduce you to Mr.

Philip Graham, Mr. Darius.

Oh, Mr. Darius.

And Mr. Darius's niece, Marina.

Marina.

Would you join us for a drink?

No, no, thank you. We will drink at table.

Max.

Excuse me, will you, Phil?

Makes me a drink, eh?

Whiskey and soda.

But...

That's lovely.

Oh, I'm glad you liked it.

It's a recording that I made myself in a small village. I know exactly where you

got it from.

Where? Las Huertas.

You're quite an expert, aren't you?

I love music.

Me too. It's my hobby.

I've been collecting them from all over on my tape recorder.

So anytime you want to listen, you'll know where to come.

That's very kind of you.

Thank you.

Looks like we have something in common, huh?

Do you like folk dances?

Oh, yes, I do, very much.

Then that's another thing we have in common.

You're a dancer.

How could you tell?

I just could. You do dance, huh?

Yes.

Professionally? Of course not.

Oh, I'm a collector, too, of folk dances.

Say, maybe you'll let me watch sometime, huh?

All right.

Here at the hotel this afternoon.

I'm rehearsing some small girls and a dance for a local fiesta.

Well, I'm sorry to break this up, but I promised to drive Graham to the airport.

Listen, I just had an urgent phone call from London. I've got to get back there

right away. Would you drive me out to the airport and bring my car back? Sure.

Just in time to get to that plane.

When are you coming back? Soon? I don't know, Phil.

What are you going to do about your car? Leave it here?

Well, I haven't really figured that one out.

Listen, you wouldn't like to drive it back to England for me, would you? What?

Well, I'd take care of all the expenses and so on. Kind of all of a sudden.

Well, you wouldn't be gone long.

What do you say?

Okay.

Thanks. No, I can't thank you enough.

Oh, thank God.

Oh,

I want my bill, please. Anthony Roscoe.

I also have an envelope of mine in the safe.

Here's the receipt.

This is going to take a million years.

Please hurry, will you? I've got a plane to catch.

Look, I remember now. I saw your father put it in that drawer.

It's locked.

One moment, senor.

I'll get my father.

She'll never make it now.

Oh, by the way, Phil, you'll need these papers to get the car back to England.

Look,

can I please have my envelope?

I'm very sorry, senor. My wife has gone to Madrid.

She has taken by mistake the key.

She will not be back until Monday. Well, I can't wait till Monday, and I've got

to have that envelope before I leave. You'll have to break the drawer open

somehow. But, senor, what you ask there is impossible. I don't think you're

going to make the plane. But that envelope is not mine, and I'm

responsible for seeing it's delivered.

I can do it for you.

No, you can't. I have to do it personally.

Where do you have to deliver it? London.

So I'll bring it to you when I bring you the car.

Can you get there soon?

Oh, I don't know, about a week from now.

All right, let's go.

And don't hand that envelope to anybody but this gentleman. Very good, senor.

Look, Phil, I don't want you to go through with this. Will you quit

worrying and come on?

Same thing as this. That envelope's not only important to me, it's a darn sight

more important to someone else. If it got into the wrong hands, and I really

mean this, it could finish this character completely.

Oh? I hate to drag you into a thing like this.

Relax, I'll get that envelope to you. Do you want to catch that plane?

Thanks, Phil.

I shouldn't bother to wait, old boy. I'll see you in London.

You? Where is Mr. Roscoe? I saw his car outside and I came inside to find out

what was wrong.

What have they done to you, my boy?

Have you been held up?

How did this happen to you?

That's what I'd like to know.

Where is Mr. Roscoe?

Oh, he caught us playing all right.

This happened while I was driving his car back to the hotel.

Oh, I see.

Boy, they shoot me on the head.

Perhaps we ought to report this to the police. Did they steal anything?

They don't seem to have.

And they didn't take your car?

Oh, that's something.

Very mysterious.

Can I give you a lift back to your hotel? I was just on my way back there

to pick up my niece.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Seymour. I think I can drive my car. No, no, no. Pepe will

drive Mr. Roscoe's car. You come with me.

There.

You see what I meant?

Well, you sure put up a good argument with your feet. But I still say there's

a Moorish influence in that dance.

Don't do that.

Does your head still hurt you?

No pain at all. Must be the company.

It's amazing.

You were actually knocked out and there's only a tiny scratch.

Oh, fine thing.

No symphony, huh?

Oh, look at that, huh?

What a night.

Just a beautiful night.

You know, this is the Spanish night that every American dreams about.

An enormous moon, starry sky.

The scent of lilies and tuberoses.

Lazy fingers strumming in a guitar.

And a senorita.

Above all, a senorita.

Mysterious as the moonbeams.

Lovelier than the lilies.

That's nice.

And full of Moorish influence.

You've learned quite a lot since you've been in Spain.

Yes, I have.

It's a handsome wedding ring.

My wife gave it to me. She died a couple of years ago.

I'm sorry.

Kind of like the idea of wearing it.

Hey, I made a tape recording of some very unusual folk music from several

little villages in Andalusia. Bet you'd love it. When may I hear it?

Oh, it'll have to be tomorrow. I've got to go to London the day after that.

What? I promised my friend Tony Rothko that I'd take his car back to him.

You're going to London?

Yeah, I wish I didn't have to now.

Why?

Do I have to answer that?

Mm-hmm.

If you'll make me another one of those fine speeches full of Moorish influence.

You make it very difficult for me. You know that, don't you?

I'm going to London, too.

My uncle's just told me.

Say, that's great.

What's your phone number there?

You give me yours.

Okay. Spanish nights are treacherous, Marina.

You'd better get your coat on. In any case, it's time we went home.

Mr. Graham, I hope we haven't got cold.

especially after that unfortunate incident this evening.

By the way, is Roscoe an old friend, or did you meet him here for the first

time? No, no, we were in the war together. Same squadron, as a matter of

fact, until I left the RAF and joined up with our own Air Force. And what sort of

a chap was he then?

What do you mean?

Well, he strikes me as being a little unscrupulous.

Tony? Oh, he's a great guy.

Oh, I'm glad to hear it.

Incidentally, I have just telephoned Senor Gonzalez.

Oh, who's he?

He's the chief criminal investigation officer for this district. He has

promised to take charge of your case personally.

Well, that's very kind of you, Mr. Darius, but I'm afraid that Senor

Gonzalez will be just wasting his time. No, no, no, no. These matters should be

attended to promptly.

He will see you here at 10.30 tomorrow morning.

Oh?

Let me know how you get on with Gonzalez.

Yes, I will. Thank you.

Have you forgotten?

What?

Your telephone number.

Oh.

There you are.

Don't forget to use it, then.

They didn't touch your car.

They didn't take your money. There was no robbery. Nothing.

Nothing that my men can, so to speak, get their teeth into.

No. This affair was obviously a case of mistaken identity.

Who do you suppose they thought I was?

Who else but your friend, Mr. Roscoe. After all, you were driving his car.

Who'd want to kidnap Tony Roscoe? Some associates of his would quarrel with

him.

Perhaps he was involved in some risky venture, something not too strictly

legal. So my information leads me to believe.

Who told you this?

I have various sources of information.

Mr. Darius feels that Mr. Roscoe may be engaged in some questionable business.

I was never aware of any shady side to Tony's character.

And I'm sure all the fellas in Earth's Garden felt the same way.

It was always very well thought of. Mr. Graham, is it not possible that after

the war, your friend missed the excitement of battle?

He missed the thrill of flying fast machines, and perhaps because of that,

he drifted into something a little too, shall we say, adventurous.

It's possible, I suppose, but not very likely.

Maybe you're right.

Meanwhile, Mr. Graham, I will keep you informed.

Oh, but I had planned to start driving to London.

Take my friend's car there tomorrow.

I think that will be all right.

No, there's no reason why you should change your plans.

But may I hope that soon you will come back again to Spain?

I intend to. Good.

You know, I wish I could have been of more assistance.

Oh, this is all Mr. Darius's idea.

I didn't think it was worth bothering about myself.

Always notify the police.

You know something?

Policemen frighten me.

Present company accepted, I hope.

Well, Mr. Graham, have a pleasant trip back to London.

Oh, by the way, I will give you my card.

Here. And when next you get back to Spain, you must let me take you to my

favorite little restaurant.

Well, that'd be very nice. Thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Graham. Goodbye.

I'm so sorry, Senor Roscoe, had to leave without this.

My wife was too careful with the key. No, I'm not.

I hope you will visit us soon again.

Oh, I intend to. And recommend us to your friends.

Very well appointed hotel.

Yes, I know. Your luggage is in the car and I've parked it in the shade at the

back of the hotel. Thank you very much, sir.

Myself, I prefer to fly.

To drive, drive for three days.

But I wish you a very pleasant journey, sir.

Yes.

Oh, thank you.

Hi, Tony.

It's Phil.

I'm here in London with your car.

I got it right here in my hand.

I told you I'd get it to you, didn't I?

Yeah, I'm anxious to see you, too. I got a lot to talk to you about.

I had a pretty exciting time after you left.

All right, I'll see you at 6.30.

Uh, that's Beverly Court, isn't it?

Yeah, I know. I'll be seeing you.

Can I help you, sir?

This is Mr. Rusker's apartment, isn't it? Yes, sir.

I have a 6.30 appointment with him. Doesn't seem to answer.

You're right, sir. He doesn't seem to be in.

My name's Philip Graham. I'm a friend of his. I just brought back his car.

Parked it out by the front door there. Is that okay? Yes, sir. I'll put it away

for you.

I'll be fine.

There's his keys.

Here.

Thank you, sir. Would you care to wait in the lounge?

I think I'll stick around for a minute, too.

I'll be taking a shower.

Yes, sir.

I'll put Mr. Roscoe's car away, sir. Oh, thanks.

The Royal Theatre, please. Backstage.

You can call me back, huh?

Thank you.

Hello. I'd like to talk to Miss Mitzi Molnar. And will you tell her that

Philip Graham is calling, please?

Yes. Hello.

I was afraid you wouldn't remember me.

But certainly, Mr. Graham.

How nice of you to call me. It was such fun meeting you in Spain.

When can you get here?

Oh, that would be wonderful.

We ring down at 10.15.

Come straight to my dressing room.

Adios for now, Mr. Graham, darling.

Who was that?

Hey, Graham.

He wants for Belly to write some lyrics for me.

I think I should let him try.

Don't let him try anything else.

Nonsense, Maxwell.

He's such a sweet boy, really.

And so clever.

Spain, Spain.

You can breathe in the south.

The sunlight.

The moonlight.

Yeah, very romantic country.

Oh, yes.

But there was no romance for me in Spain.

Huh?

I thought you were visiting your fiancé down there, Mr. Therese.

That's what I meant, darling.

When can we get together?

On those songs you are going to write for me.

Uh, well, uh, I, uh... There's something else I've got on my mind right now.

Yes?

Uh, you, uh, knew Tony Roscoe pretty well at one time, didn't you?

Jealous already.

You did, didn't you?

At one time, yes, but aren't you being a tiny bit too personal, Danny?

A thing of the past, huh?

That's why you threw those letters into the fire.

So it was you who tried to get in when I was there.

You're in this with Roscoe, too.

You're both blackmailing me to Mr. Darius.

Is that why you did it?

Yes.

What? Of course, that's why I burned them. What else could I do?

No, that's not what I meant.

When did you see Roscoe last?

At the bar or the hotel with you.

Didn't he let you into his apartment this afternoon?

No, I had a key.

We were working on some photographs together.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I had to ask so many personal questions.

But I had to.

To find out if it was you who killed him.

Killed him.

Didn't you see his body there in the darkroom?

He's dead?

He was shot.

You know, our fingerprints are all over that place.

They might think that I killed him.

You had a motive.

And you were there about the time that he was killed.

Yeah.

Someone had an appointment with him.

Six o'clock.

Someone by the name of Maxwell Carey. Do you know him? Yes.

So do you. You met him at the same time as you met me.

At the Chula Vista bar.

I seem to remember.

Had he known Roscoe long?

Roscoe did quite a bit of photography for Maxwell.

What kind of photography, do you know?

No, I don't.

Mitzi, for both of our sakes, you better find out as much information as you can

about Maxwell Carey and his dealings with Roscoe.

Do you suppose that you could arrange to have lunch with him tomorrow?

All right.

Shall I phone you afterwards?

What's your number?

I'd rather see if that's possible.

That would be more interesting.

But I think I'd better come to your flat. My fiancé may not like it very

much if you came to mine.

Okay, I'll give you my address.

Got a piece of paper? Sure.

I'll keep the whole evening open for you, darling.

You think that you can persuade Carrie to take you out to lunch?

Leave it to me.

Yes, I'm sure you can.

Good luck. I'll see you tomorrow night, huh?

Oh, darling.

My letters.

I'll give them to you tomorrow night.

Hello. Tell them to come up, please.

Come in,

Inspector.

I'm the inspector.

Inspector Goldfinch. Oh, thank you.

This is Sergeant Ramsay.

Sergeant? We're making inquiries into the death of Mr.

Anthony Roscoe of Number 8 Beverly Court.

Yes, won't you sit down?

Oh, thank you.

Oh, did you get me some coffee?

Oh, no, thank you.

I won't take up much of your time.

But I'm afraid we'll have to bother you with one or two questions.

Certainly. Now, could you tell me, is it correct, that you've just brought back

Mr. Roscoe's car from Spain and that you arrived in England yesterday?

That's correct.

You knew him pretty well, I imagine.

Oh, very well. We were in the Air Force together.

Was he in any sort of trouble?

What did I know of? Why?

Had you seen much of him recently?

Not since the war.

Well, that is, not until just this past week.

Mm-hmm.

Did you find him change very much?

Didn't seem to be.

Why did he leave his car in Spain?

Well, he received a phone call to come back here to London immediately.

Oh.

Who was the call from, do you know?

No, I don't know. He didn't tell me.

Had he anything to say when you returned the car to him?

Well, I didn't see him. He wasn't at his apartment when I got there.

So what did you do?

Well, I left the car keys with the porter.

Mm-hmm.

I'm much obliged for your help.

Welcome.

I think that covers everything, Mr. Graham.

For the moment.

Bye.

Hello.

This is Mr. Graham.

Hi, Marina. How are you?

I'm sure I meant it.

How about this afternoon?

Okay. I'll bring my tape and the recorder along with me, huh?

What time is tea time?

And, uh, your address?

Okay. I'll see you at four then, huh?

Bye.

Why did I let Roscoe get his hands on that microfilm?

Now Roscoe's dead.

You showed me the paper already.

What about the police?

What if they should suspect you?

Don't be melodramatic, Nancy. They could never suspect me of that.

But you were in the flat last night.

I know there was nobody there, but the porter saw you.

Besides, your name was on the microfilm.

If only I could get it back.

I was so weak, so cheap, to accept money from Roscoe for it. But he never paid

you the money.

That's the irony of it.

But it doesn't seem fair.

Do you like your fish cake?

Oh, yes, it's delicious.

I'm just not hungry.

I've betrayed my profession, my home.

Now I've let you down, too.

Well, Nancy, if I could get that film and burn it, no matter how poor we might

be, we'd still be able to face life.

Why do I have to let this happen?

So, what's happened to you?

Darling, it's you I'm thinking of. If I could only think of some way of getting

you out of this mess.

Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Graham.

The good lady who does your room for you told us to come in and wait.

Good.

Glad she did.

Sit down, won't you? No, thank you.

I will entertain you for more than a moment.

There's one little matter you might be able to clear up.

I believe you picked up an envelope belonging to Mr. Roscoe at the hotel

where you were staying.

Oh, yes, it was locked up in the safe. He wasn't able to get it before he left.

I don't think you mentioned it this morning.

Oh, I didn't think it was very important.

I can assure you, sir, that everything is of importance in any inquiry of this

sort. I'm sorry, I didn't think.

Yes, you didn't think.

Well, I didn't think it was important.

I see.

And what did you do with it?

I mailed it.

From Spain?

No, I mailed it after I got back here.

Oh, he told you not to post it till you got back to London.

No, matter of fact, I forgot I had it.

And when you remembered, you stamped it and posted it. That's right.

What was the address?

It was somewhere here in London.

I think it was NW... I'm not sure.

And the name?

Johnson or Johnstone.

I see. Johnson or Johnstone.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

And what kind of envelope was it?

It was rather long and narrow, about like that.

I see. You can remember the size and shape of the envelope, but you can't

remember the name of the address.

That's right.

Well, if you should happen to recollect it, just get in touch with me. Yes, I

will.

Oh, you did say this morning that you hadn't seen Roscoe since the war.

That is, until last week.

That's right.

Yes, I thought so.

Well, thank you again, Mr. Graham. You're welcome. Bye.

Well? It's a real thing, all right.

Rough and warm and full of life.

I knew you'd like them.

It's funny how the sad songs have a smile behind them.

Yet the gay ones often make you cry.

Today they all made you sad, didn't they?

Yes. I, uh... I was thinking of Tony Roscoe. All the times that he flew

out on operations and always came back.

Now he... I know.

I lost my father and mother three years ago in a car crash.

You've been living with your uncle ever since?

Yes.

At that time, I'd only met him once or twice.

He's been very good to me, but it's been a little like living with a stranger.

He's such a remote sort of a person.

Why? Does he just live for his business?

Not exactly.

But everything he does seems to be tremendously important somehow.

What does he do? What is his business?

I know it sounds rather silly, but I don't honestly know.

Doesn't he talk to you about it?

My uncle lives in the sort of world where you never discuss business with

young ladies.

Does he discuss anything with you?

You know, I can't imagine him discussing anything with anybody.

He just says that such and such must be done, and it's done.

You are inquisitive.

Why?

Maybe it's because I like you.

Very much.

I like you, too.

About my uncle... I don't want you to think that I'm ungrateful to him or

anything. It's... Is there anything else you want, senorita?

No, thanks.

No, thank you, Jose.

I, uh... I'm gonna be inquisitive again.

What about your uncle's girlfriend, Mitzi Molnar?

He's a great collector of works of art.

He's sort of collected Mitzi.

Well, doesn't he have any affection for her?

I don't think he's got much affection for anybody.

Oh, except Kim.

Kim? His dog.

Oh.

We were just talking about Kim.

Oh, yes, yes.

I wish I could bring him to England.

These quarantine regulations may be all right for the general run of people, but

my dog would endanger nobody.

He's a perfect specimen, you know. I'm sure he is. Oh, gee, I didn't realize it

was as late as it is.

Better be going.

That's really important.

You can't go without seeing some of my treasures.

Well, are you interested in miniatures?

Yes, but I think I'd better take a rain check. Oh, look at this.

Isn't she beautiful?

Painted on thick ivory before they learned how to shave ivory tin.

Mr. Graham has to leave. Yes, I do. I'm very sorry. I would like to see your

miniatures some other time. You must ask Mr. Graham to come again.

Well, I better be going.

Oh, shall I leave this?

Would you like to hear those other songs?

I'd love to.

Okay. Are you sure you know how to play it?

You're a good teacher.

You're a good student.

Well...

You'll be calling back for this?

Soon.

Come in, Miss Muller.

Have you got my letters?

You've got my information?

Let's have the letters first.

I'm not so sure you can be trusted.

No, I don't think I can be.

Should we forget the letters for a while?

I think I'd better trust you. I'll get the letters.

How about my information now?

Have fun, boys.

I think I'll have a drink.

I imagine you think. You've been pretty smart, don't you?

Let me tell you what I think.

I think you've bitten off more than you can chew.

I've seen your kind before, Graham.

And I'm not paying you 250 pounds or even pennies.

For what? That's what you told her you wanted, wasn't it?

I told her what?

And for that, you'd keep your trap shut about her letters.

She's quite an actress.

I'll pay you 50 pounds for those letters. Not a penny more.

No, you won't. She just walked out of here with them.

She what?

Looks like we've both been taken.

You paid Roscoe a visit yesterday, didn't you?

At six o'clock?

Yes, I did.

But I didn't kill him, if that's what you mean.

Maybe you did.

You were there too, Mitzi tells me.

Did you find what you were looking for?

What do you mean?

Well, you found Mitzi's letters.

Did you find the other thing too?

What other thing?

No, no.

You tell me.

Something to do with chemicals?

Hand it over.

Can't, I don't have it.

Give me the microfilm.

I gave it back to the man that it belongs to.

It belongs to me.

Quite a lot of money has been paid out for this property.

According to him, he didn't receive any money for it.

Oh.

So Roscoe kept it, eh?

Well, I don't know about that.

We'll have to buy it back.

How soon can you put me in touch with that other man?

Oh, I don't think he'd like that.

You better let me take care of this myself.

Trust you with all that money?

Oh, don't worry.

I'll see that you get your cut.

Okay.

I'll see that you see tomorrow about this same time.

Don't be down.

I wouldn't like it.

There's a lot more in this for you than in Mitzi's letters.

You still think that I was interested in making money off those letters, huh?

I'm not that law That's more like it We are only interested in the big stuff

Aren't we?

Yes, yes you told me on the telephone, but it makes no sense you still don't

believe that I was here Yes, you've proved that you were eavesdropping and

that you're a blackmailer like Roscoe.

No, I'm not a blackmailer. Then why did you threaten to tell those gangsters in

my firm about me? I'm sorry, but it seemed to be the only way that I could

make you come here and talk with me.

What have you done with the microfilm?

What microfilm?

The microfilm that I gave you yesterday.

What?

But, good gracious, you mean to say that's been in my pocket all the time?

Why give it to me yesterday and take it back today?

Because I felt sorry for you. You seem to be in a tight spot. Then why don't

you let me have it today?

Because I'm in a tight spot now.

I think the police suspect that I killed Tony Roscoe. But what use are the

microfilms to you?

I'm going to use them as bait.

Maybe I can catch the fellow that's behind all of this.

But these formulae are useless to you and me.

Entirely valueless except to someone... What formula?

The formula on the microfilm.

For a new process.

A new antibiotic drug.

Like penicillin?

Much more important than penicillin, and especially to someone who has done

research which would tie into the work that we've done in our labs.

Do you think that I should start looking for someone who owns a big chemical

work, sir? I think you should let me destroy those microfilms. My whole

career... Trust me.

I'm going to do everything I can not to involve you.

You seem to be in worse trouble than I am.

Good luck to you.

Thanks, and don't worry.

Where's our friend?

I've already seen him.

I've got it.

How much do you want for it?

I want to see your boss about that.

I'm my own boss.

Maybe. But you don't know the chemical works, do you?

I'll tell you what I do.

I take you along to him straight away.

And you can hand over the film yourself.

Who is he?

Come and see for yourself.

Got the film on you?

I've got it.

I get my coat.

My car's outside.

Don't tell me that your boss is in the theatrical business.

Of course not.

Just a little sideline of mine.

Hmm?

Well, the office is upstairs.

Very useful for private business.

Go ahead.

His office isn't upstairs, huh?

Clever of you to get those microfilms for nothing.

Quite a grapevine you've got. It works.

Ah!

Ah!

Good morning. Mr. Darius in? I am sorry, sir. Mr. Darius has been called away.

Oh? Well, uh, when will he be back?

I don't know, sir.

Well, what's his address? Where'd he go?

We didn't say, sir. Mr. Darius usually wires us where he's going to be when he

gets there, sir.

All right, sir.

Just one moment, sir.

I've got something for you. The senorita left, sir.

Thank you.

Senor.

British European Airways announce the departure of flight number 215 to

Barcelona. Will all passengers holding boarding card number 4.

May I take these now, sir? Oh yes, thank you. Are you quite comfortable, sir?

Fine, thank you.

Don't close the door.

What is it?

Is there a Mr. Graham on board? He's the American gentleman.

Yes, he's sitting over there.

Mr. Graham?

Yes? I'm sorry to trouble you, sir.

Oh? What?

Your passport.

Thank you.

Philip, what a wonderful surprise.

Good to see you again.

I didn't dream I'd see you so soon.

Marina, can I talk to you?

What's happened?

Yes, of course. In the patio.

Maria Luisa, la tercera copla. No, señorita, la segunda.

Está bien.

Of course I believe you.

But I don't understand why I didn't notice anything.

He seems such a respectable man, and he's always been so kind to me.

Well, not kind.

Generous, in a way.

And yet, he has never really loved me.

Or anybody else.

He could have done everything you say.

But if he did...

You

came out here to see the police, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

But I don't want to do anything that's going to hurt you in any way. What about

you? You must see the police to clear yourself.

You suppose they'll believe me?

I believed you.

Yes.

Yes, you did.

But will the police? Will Senor Gonzalez?

Of course.

He's bound to realize you're telling the truth.

You have a lot of faith in me, don't you?

How else are we to judge if we don't trust her feelings?

Oh, Philip.

Yes?

I must get back to my rehearsal.

You were quite right, Mr Graham.

This information which I have had enlarged from your microfilm would be of

immense value to anyone who owns large chemical factories.

And Senor Darius is head of one of the biggest drug combines in Europe.

Now tell me, are you quite satisfied this statement is exactly what you said

in my office? Seems to me.

Except for here and there where my English has been improved a little.

You know, I'm very glad you decided to come and tell me all this.

After all, this affair started here when you were kidnapped.

That's right, it did.

And how cleverly Senor Darius diverted attention from himself, eh? He was the

one who called me in on this case.

But now I hope that you and I will be more clever than Mr. Darius and that we

will catch him with a little plan we have made together, eh?

Sure you don't want to start operations today?

No, I would prefer not.

You see, we have not quite finished our investigations, eh?

24 hours from now, that would be better. Okay.

I'll see if I can get him to come and see me tomorrow.

About this time? Perfect.

Good afternoon, Mr. Graham.

It's nice to see you so soon again. Thank you.

Nice to see your butler again, too. My butler?

Let me introduce you to my secretary, Don Jose Cuevas, Mr. Philip Grimm.

Senor.

I left my niece down at her rehearsals.

She sends her regards to you.

Why does she teach those little middle-class ladies to prance like

peasants, hmm?

Oh, but I forgot you two are an amateur of folk dancing. Mr. Darius, shall we

get out of business?

Thanks. I've come all the way from London to talk to you.

All that way to talk to me.

What on earth could be so important?

Thought I told you on the phone.

You merely said that you were something that might interest me.

All the things I collect nowadays are miniatures.

This is a miniature.

Very interesting.

And how much would you say this was worth?

I don't want any money. Just information.

Could I see the rest?

What sort of information did you want?

When you went to Tony Roscoe's apartment the evening that he was killed.

Were you alone or was your secretary with you?

I cannot conceive why either of us should have been there.

I can't.

With these miniatures lying around.

No, Mr. Graham.

I am not the sort of person, nor is mine the sort of position, that allows me to

let myself be involved in, shall I say, dramatic escapades.

Nevertheless, you were there that evening, weren't you? Oh, I think you're

allowing your imagination to get the upper hand.

But we're not dealing with imagination, Mr. Graham.

We're dealing with reality.

And reality depends on facts.

Well, I don't know of any facts more convincing than a set of fingerprints.

And when you went through those microfilms, you left enough prints to

paper the walls of Scotland Yard.

I wonder how these highly colored ideas got into your mind.

Fingerprints, you know, are not always evidence of facts.

Oh?

What that handkerchief of yours might be.

I understand that the police found one just like that in Tony Roscoe's hand.

No doubt.

I've given many such handkerchiefs to my friends, including Mr. Roscoe.

Tell that to the police.

You were very foolish to do this.

I have no intention of saying anything worth putting on the record, except

this. A little knowledge is supposed to be dangerous.

You, I think, know enough to have put yourself in some danger.

What danger?

There is always danger for inquisitive people, especially for a person who

tries to add my confession to a collection of folklore.

Don't forget, Mr. Graham,

It is dangerous to be too clever with me.

Oh, I'm not apt to forget.

Not after what happened to Tony Roscoe. Oh, please don't think that I'm in the

habit of eliminating people or that it gives me any kind of pleasure.

But there are considerations which you cannot even begin to understand that

involve millions of pounds, thousands of workers, the dynamics of a great and

powerful industry.

No one, no individual can be allowed to jeopardize the interests of so many

people or of such an organization.

Mr. Roscoe was foolhardy enough to interfere with some vital plans, which

of course is why he died so young.

You too have made the same mistake of trying to take advantage of your

knowledge at my expense.

That did not work with Roscoe, nor has it worked with you.

But this is all supposition.

Just a little detective story that you and I made up between us

You know I'm not the sort of fella to

behave like a common crook Incidentally,

I think the police would find it hard to prove that I was even in London at the

time of the tragedy

Nevertheless, you were there that evening, weren't you? Oh, I think you're

allowing your imagination to get the upper hand.

But we're not dealing with imagination, Mr. Graham.

We are dealing with reality.

Reality depends on facts.

I don't know of any facts.

When you went through those microfilms, you left enough prints there.

I wonder how these highly colored ideas got into your...

What about the kids back there, if something happens? Don't worry, the

children are going to the plaza to join the procession.

Looks like he got away.

I don't think so. We have the hotel surrounded.

The comedy is over, Mr. Darius.

Come with the others, please.

Well,

it worked, that little plan, eh?

Excuse me.

Well, Marina, what about the fiesta?

Come on.
