there since you were arrested

files or i on the local ones as well 4

by Two Old Village ladies in their spare

time

Lucho what do we know about the guy the

defense advisor to a highly influential

Persian Gulf ruler he's made it his

business to gather intelligence on every

governments who Foster and protect them

work done

here somebody's at the door I'm going to

go call in a couple of daysy

[Music]

don't waste time Mr H we have to leave

quickly

[Music]

welcome Mr H

welcome please forgive the informality I

hope you don't object how you choose to

dress is the only thing I don't object

to if you would let me explain you

brought me here by force as far as I'm

concerned our agreement is finished Mr H

you are under surveillance by some

extremely dangerous people and if we

hadn't gone in and got you out of there

quickly you would have been followed and

this is a safe h for me your people only

had to tell me there was no time for any

arguments or

questions but it's good to see you you

look a little younger than I expected TV

makes you look older TV made me feel

older but how beautifully you cross

examined how splendidly you use the

power of words over your helpless

victims oh come on as the hard-hitting

interviewer squeezing the embarrassing

truths out of the Rich and Famous I

rated zilch but you quick to catch it

only lasted 2 weeks nevertheless you did

make an

impression now perhaps you care for a

drink whiskey I believe

San

do so what do you call yourself at the

moment Xander hect brochet

Lucho Pike or using one of those exotic

Arab names with a handle to it bu Ben

ADM you may call me Dr

sander did you inform the FBI of your

arrival in

London no so you concealed your

departure I've learned to keep my

distance interesting way you introduced

yourself with a

bomb I sent you the bomb Mr Halliday so

that your friends would take notice my

friends sorry I got a little jet lag Oh

you mean the FBI I and the

CIA I wanted them to take an interest in

you and your connection with

me thank you and the book your grandpa's

Memoirs does it exist or is that as

phony as your

names what you have there is a rough

English translation of part of the book

the rest of it is in a form of French

short hand called f which was a system

very popular in a chia's time but we

haven't been able to decode it

and your contribution well just a few

rough notes not very well organized it's

been my experience that when would be

writers speak of notes they've done very

little real work and expect me to

conjure the whole thing from almost

nothing not in this case Mr

H you know that in this postcript on

Modern terrorism you're going to have to

tell the truth name names of course

that's why my enemies are trying to kill

me before I name them

one more

thing I always like to know the guy on

the driver's seat my agent mentioned an

Arab

ruler we'll talk about that in the

morning Mr H when you've studied the

[Music]

manuscript the revolutionaries of a man

set apart he has no personal interests

no emotions no attachments he has no

personal property not even a

name everything in him is absorbed by

one single passion the

revolution in his innermost being he has

broken every bond with the whole

civilized world including all its laws

Customs conventions and

morality he renounces culture and

learning leaving these to Future

Generations

he knows one science only the science of

Destruction all the gentle Sentiments of

kinship love gratitude and even honor

must be suppressed by the single cold

passion for revolution

[Music]

flight reservations yes I'd like to know

the first flight to New York in the

morning please I'll check for

you our first flight out New York is at

1055

hello hello

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hi Bob

so Kilby whose life you're ruining these

days didn't I tell you he'd be just the

same old

Bob something you ought to know Bob back

home a week or so ago your personal file

was pulled why am I even on your files I

don't work for you you did once yeah

meaning one time only you can tell him

I'm not available in fact to call my

agent right now and tell her that the

whole deal here is off now why would you

want to do that if we're hovering gently

in the background ever ready to lend a

helping hand last time you lent a

helping hand I landed in jail in Baghdad

not exactly a center known for prison

reform easy now that mail bomb Caper of

yours has created a deal of interest and

when we learned that uh Xander was

involved what do you know about X sander

oh we've known him a long time we prefer

not to have direct dealings with him on

this one we've asked her shelm to help

us out though of

course we'll still need to go between ha

shelm is a very senior official in a

West German intelligence service he

speaks Oxbridge

English your jokes will be

understood I'm at present on loan to

Nato Mr Alay

thank you my

friend I had hoped for a more positive

attitude Bob however if there's anything

you want from us you know where to find

me may I look at the documents Dr Tander

gave you please

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

now we've had a copy for some

days m not as complete as yours from a

contact in sycom

Sentinel our code

Breakers couldn't get onto this

short-handed

vers but once they cracked it they also

realized the an acronis

it is espiranto

a language which didn't exist until 1887

that's 5 years after NF died the triath

grants on my hand this part codit part

here then why all a machinations to get

me

involved think back to Iraq you're

covering a story for an American

newspaper why were you suddenly

arrested I was accused us of trying to

bribe a government official for secret

information it was a CIA only that guy

got away real fast they needed a

scapegoat and your cigar smoking friend

shop me to the Iraqis and that linked

you permanently with the CIA and

people's

minds so when Xander's boss needed to

make a roundabout approach to us he

chose

me but why are the CIA and NATO so

interested in a phony 19th century

Memoir and a Wheeler Dealer from

Estonia this coded

section contains an

offer a complex and highly secret

proposal to the US government into NATO

[Music]

[Music]

they're waiting for

[Music]

[Music]

F why do you need me why couldn't Xander

approach you direct this Middle Eastern

for of his must have some diplomatic

channels open to him can you imagine the

public reaction if it was known the West

Was even listening to proposals from

such a

source this way we can deny all

knowledge if we have to what happens to

Xander then Xander has two deals going

one

personal he'll help us set up the

official deal if we give him and his

family Sanctuary from his

enemies who are

do you know of an illegal organization

called mohabat Centrum or

rasm it's an intelligence gathering

service for the Palestinians that's how

they started out then they became more

corrupt and more

violent if sander has a contract out on

him by that bunch he better

retire or

disappear he wants our help to do just

that with the kind of protection that

defectors have

just what is this highly secret complex

offer to the US authorities a moment ago

you were about to telephone your agent

in New York am I still free

to if I wanted to fly out here tomorrow

morning knowing what I know could

I listen

then have you ever heard of a place on

the gulf called Abra Bay

I can't give up the books SE they're

trying to kill you there's a contract

out on you they know what you're going

to say it isn't as though your own life

has been so blameless my dear I lived in

the Arab world how many years these

terrorists have taken over a movement

that was founded by men of ideals don't

you think it's a little bit crazy

becoming a crusader at your age

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

my wife and two small children are in

America hiding so they cannot be taken

as

hostages my previous wives are dead but

I have children with them and adopted

children too they're all in danger and

they're all in need of protection I've

heard you do business deals with

suitcases full of money you're a wealthy

man surely you could afford to pay for

your own Security in a fortress in the

South American jungle I'm not a war

criminal Mr Hand day not any kind of

criminal if great corporations can be

above the law then a businessman dealing

with them has to be something of an

individual too have you any more

questions Mr Halliday it's the same with

all your journalists isn't it you assume

that your request for information is a

command for lesser Mortals to be obeyed

like that as a matter of fact I do have

another question your Air's offered the

Western Powers a military Naval

installation in Abra Bay now the Gulf

States have always considered that

crucial to their own security so what's

changed no doubt you've been told that

the Amir is a somewhat strange

individual I've been told he's a

paranoid schizophrenic have they told

you about his Clinic than

about

clinic in a great castle built over a

disused silver mine where is this place

in Austria in the Hills behind uddenberg

that's where the NATO people will meet

the Amir and as cover for your meeting

with the Amir we have hir a film crew

for a television

intervie you Mr H will interview the

Amir

doesn't the Baton interest you Mr hin

his extraordinary background the life is

Led I started out a little afraid of

him nervous

anyway I've always been fascinated by

great operators

survivors your Patron is a remarkable

man

but I think the care of time is catching

up with

him you're waiting for him to stumble

and fall that's not very nice Mr

hel When Miss Johan have I ever

pretended to be

nice does rasook know where we're going

yes they know

hold

[Applause]

on what you doing here tourism

touris for

dunker

[Music]

[Music]

ready show sending a car for me at the

hotel where are you meeting him

nelt I feel like a pingpong wall between

all of you you're doing very well

yeah why don't the austrians want this

Clinic built According to some rumors

the clinic is just a

cover just that I'd like to know what it

is I'm getting

into you know it's a bit to

go so beautiful here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

where are you meeting the NATO people to

brief

them somewhere just outside

uddenberg I told them we'd be spending

the night there judenburg

can you think of any other country in

Europe that would call a place Jews town

in the second half of the 20th century

and not even bother to change its

name I'm sure you know Mr Halliday that

I am not Jewish but perhaps I do

understand what it's like you see I am

every country's bloody Foreigner

[Music]

GL for

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Sean's CA is going to be here any minute

we have

problems local press worse Hotel manager

got excited TV people great then he's

saw in your passport you're an American

journalist and he called the radio and

television news we have to stall them

tell them you're the researcher you pump

them about the local scene uh you know

so little they know so much uh you know

what's all this about a mine

[Music]

Counterattack tell the OS screen TV

people off the Record that I'm here on

network assignment from New York to

interview the

air be bitter about it tell them you're

the one that does the hard

work I'm the slab who gets the top SA

for asking the questions that you

write they'll believe this what do I

promise these people they want

something oh if they want to know where

I am uh tell them I'm looking for a bar

with my favorite American

[Music]

whiskey for

[Music]

come

[Music]

hey uh excuse me AR we supposed to be

going to

Nel excuse me we're

supposed you are from a

shell hey who are you

[Music]

[Music]

good to nothing Mr h

[Music]

why here ah well our hotel is in a town

about 40 km from where you're staying

but already we've heard gossip of a TV

unit and American journalists better to

be

cautious Mr holiday Patrick new general

new

British we we thought perhaps a little

picnic

H you had no problems getting away to

meet us they seem to trust me even the

young lady who uh so concerned about

security Mr Jan is rightly concerned to

protect her

father Sanders her

father by his second wife who was killed

in the Algerian

War they're digging out more and them

all the time you must find them they

professionally interesting I know I

do yeah but I don't understand why he's

doing such murky business with someone

like the Amir he's an Estonian he's a

Survivor I'd like to know how he

survived the Russian winter of 4445 when

the vmat were falling back into

Poland Mr H do help

yourself no it's it's only in Retreat

that some man discover their true talent

for leadership and Xander did oh yes

that winter he found the secret of

commanding obedience getting men to do

things they were scared of by making

them believe that his respect for them

was worth

[Music]

having

so how did he react to our

questions he's rattled he said there's

been three attempts on his life already

one since the rasmic took over the

contract which makes me think that maybe

they've been ordered not to kill him

just yet just keep him Running

Scared

so when do they stop scaring and start

killing maybe he has to finish something

first

well when we sit down with the ruler

Xander's

Expendable just what does the Amir want

for the space at Abra Bay

some new weapon system new toys to play

with there are only two things the ruler

ever wants it's a long life for himself

and instant death for his

enemies for

Abra we'll be asked to go shopping with

him in the death

Department this is the trauma ra

interview

if he is anything like his

[Laughter]

father uh no once a man came to the old

King's Court he put his hand in his

pocket for a handkerchief or something

and his August Majesty pulled out a gun

and shot him through the

head more wine B

[Laughter]

[Music]

thanks

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Mr H yeah my name is Christian Riner I'm

from current affairs wfv Vienna we wish

to show your interview I've asked Miss

keani to let us process your phone H

it's possible I'll uh talk to my

producer perhaps you could tell me Mr

Halliday uh some of the questions you

intend to ask this uh Middle Eastern

potentate Mr Riner I how do I know what

questions I'm going to ask I don't do

interviews by reading questions off a

clipboard I I brief myself on the

subject uh we sit and chat before we

film I find you tend to get the best

interviews if you keep an open mind is

it really an interview or just a public

relations job for this uh this ruler

this

megalomaniac who thinks he can walk into

our country and build himself even a

private Fortress if he likes I believe

you're here just to make him look good

to your So Sophisticated American

audiences wow Arabs and Americans Zapped

in one blow are you aware that he isn't

even employing any austrians in his

building of this so-called Clinic his

Architects and his Engineers they forers

too well how do you expect him to employ

Austrian labor when you don't give him

permission to build you're doing your

whitewash job well Mr holiday I assume

your fee is large enough to pay off any

moral Scruples you might have had excuse

me I'm sorry it's uh unprofessional to

let one's principles principes

he Rina I'd say racial Prejudice is

alive and well and living in judenburg

you heard all that mhm it's true the

Amir wants to make that mine a perfect

fallout shelter anyone trying to get

into it will die on the fences or even

before reaching them

what happened at the meeting was all

very friendly on the surface at

least

well they're going to give your father

everything he

wants we will continue to call him the

patron now how do we get away look I'm

sure the moment your NATO friends meet

the Amir rasm will move in

now be honest is there any chance he

will escape it's difficult Austria is a

neutral country in this country the NATO

people can't officially protect them

what do they

suggest a Rendevous just outside Austria

in Italy tarvisio it's 90 minutes by

Road from here but after the interview

we'd have to make those 90 minutes on

our own we well they offered me a ride

in the natoc car but I why are you so

hostile to me even from the start

because I saw you as my enemy how am I

your

enemy that expression you used the care

of

time there was a woman once I was

married to her for a few

years she had a little

problem she couldn't

forgive but she wanted to get even she

used to

say time will take care of him

[Music]

you're worried about tomorrow aren't you

how do you think the Amir feels about

this television interview what do you

mean I know it's just window dressing

for this meeting with Shaman n but maybe

there's something more to it I just

don't know how to approach the interview

I you think it'll be cooperative or is

it going to be

impossible if we do it all with great

ceremony keep everybody fussing around

him I'm sure he'll cooperate for how

long I don't know how long does a boy

enjoy playing with a toy machine

gun I don't know what to ask him I mean

if he's so afraid of a nuclear war he's

even more terrified of chemical and

biological

warfare he's afraid that even if his

life was spared he would lose his sexual

Powers sounds quite the normal chap no

seriously locking himself up in a

fortress below the Earth Is His

solution you see the Amir knows what

effects chemical weapons can have we've

all seen the film on the Gulf War not

films the real thing on real victims

he has secretly been conducting quite

Advanced experiments on his political

prisoners of course a prisoner of the

Amir may be better off dead

anyway get some sleep

huh maybe we can use this Austrian

television whisk it after all

Barb hi it's me listen I'm in Austria

who is this it's Robert your prodical

son listen are you still I'm fine Robert

and how are you I'm fine Barb listen

he's still friends with the producer of

my first of the wig show

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

don't

[Music]

one

[Music]

[Music]

n Go

[Music]

[Music]

how is the air some time since I've seen

him I didn't know you'd met him before

oh no no no we've never met I I saw him

once at Cairo Airport he had a new jet

he seemed to be having problems with his

Pilot oh yes I remember that particular

pilot had his own ideas about safety

regulations he was inclined to question

orders how long did he last about 3

weeks his successor was rather more

tactful his

approach I think you will find that the

emier has a great sense of personal

Pride ex Arab Legion yes I can believe

you

General the price for my services

uh Arrangements have been made in Italy

till then you're on your

own and my

chances even

chances how long will we have to wait

the Amir is with his chief secretary and

he will keep him talking and he will

keep us waiting so as not to seem too

interested officially His Highness is

only expecting one call today Mr H and

the television crew yeah yes I

understand we've sought him out and

arrived unexpectedly

mhm how do you feel about the interview

now Mr

H my mind's completely blank the only

question drumming in my head is what's

his price for Abra B if you ask that

question it'll be the last one you ever

ask what the hell do I talk about

then His Highness is ready to see Mr

holid now

[Music]

when his highest first acknowledges your

presence you should buy your head I'll

try and remember that

[Music]

your highness allow me to present

you welcome Mr Halliday to the famous

Peta mine thank you

[Music]

now Mr

Halliday we will hear your

request my

request suggestion uh your highness uh

is that a television interview would um

expose the absurdity of the difficulties

placed in your path here the American

news channel is beamed all over Europe

and it would give you control over the

propaganda situation here and in the

states the American public is interested

in an Austrian Health Clinic they are

interested in you your

highness

yes yes Mr

Halliday what you say makes

sense I agree with

it unfortunately I have other and quite

unexpected business to attend that would

be a great pity your highness because Mr

H was also about to suggest that the

interview should actually take place in

the mine itself in the upper

Gallery could you do this you could film

me in the mine is it technically

possible if there's uh Mains electricity

we we could film it there um I'd have to

check it

out while you are speaking with the

other people your highness

[Music]

you see I I don't understand any of this

when we checked him to this hotel was

his and a guy named rhina waiting for us

the RH is working for a television he's

[Music]

[Music]

not hey you my to carry over gear down

those stairs

[Music]

why on film why didn't you get yourself

a video unit huh I didn't do the hiring

tell you to talk your stff out of the

crop

[Music]

oh this is

fantastic not too eoy at all huh it's

not bad for sound but I bet they will

have something to say about it can you

light it

sure you DED us down all these stairs

but there's a lift I thought men of your

profession would appreciate the drama

the atmosphere from the lift you see

nothing it's good enough for the Amia

let's go get started what do you think

the

yeah yeah it's terrific I I think it'll

work what's so good about this place is

a shelter anyway let me show

you if there's a nuclear war and the air

on the Earth surface becomes

contaminated then you stop the water

pumps and very slowly the Deep parts of

the mine begin to flood again the water

pushes up air pure air up out of the

mine and through the ventilating shars

into these uper calories so the whole

mind acts like a giant lung breathing

out breathing out pure air but because

of its great size it takes about 8

months to do so and then the Amir comes

out and whatever is Left To

Rule he

rules you believe all that

[Music]

is that what you're expecting no

briefing give you any

idea some of our people may be willing

to go ahead on those terms those

conditions

we need

AET I see so we just make empty protest

to this

man we put nothing on record we forget

everything we've heard what he does on

his territory is his

business what if I refuse I'm as shocked

as you are

general what kind of a world are we

living in the world that we've made

you have worked well for us because you

never judged

us you've always tried to

understand and so you'll appreciate that

even the most faithful servant

grows old and

careless until he's

dispensable may I

speak at first I assumed that you had

the approval of your brother rulers in

offering Abra to the west but I should

have known what the story would be here

you are in Austria and suddenly s

appears with two unexpected gu yes the

laws of hospitality oblige you to

welcome them but as soon as you hear

their proposal for Abra

Bay you reported to the other rulers if

they agree all as well that if they're

angry then you all blame

suer he will not be around to

explain you see I know who had mhab

Centrum you know I think I've known for

some weeks but I didn't want to admit it

to to

myself the person who gave them their

instructions is someone who has been

very dear to

me

naturally you've already requested

Asylum Refuge a refuge I may never

reach inshallah we will reach the Fate

that we deserve

El Al

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

but interview take

one whenever you're

ready uh this interview is to follow an

introduction to be filmed later this is

Robert Halliday and I am privileged to

present his Royal Highness no no no no

no Mr Halliday hold your

horses our family is ancient Noble but

not

Royal we leave that dubious honor to the

more kingly dynasties like the Saudi

royal family highness no no like the pav

dasty the father of the second and last

Shar of Persia was a mule driver who

could not read or write who became a

soldier and with the direct Aid of

Western Powers overthrew the dynasty

he'd been paid to serve this mule driver

ended up calling himself shahan sha Vice

Regent of God and center of the universe

now that was very Royal

well

please please Mr H don't make these

American jokes about dynasties well then

perhaps your highness we could talk

about this wonderful old castle and its

silver mine and why exactly you bought

it and why the local authorities are

reluctant to Grant you building

permission for your clinic is it because

it won't be supervised by an Austrian or

any other known medical Authority it's

to be a private Clinic it's no concern

of theirs what goes on in here

with due respect your highness uh there

are many who believe that whatever will

be built here won't be a clinic do you

think I'm not aware of this it's

Prejudice pure prejudice against a

foreigner to build a Subterranean

Fallout in the event of a nuclear war

they're all mad if they say these

things Mr Halliday do you think I'd be

foolish enough to build a fallout

shelter 3,000 km from my Palace on the

Gulf

safe place to be if they did drop a

nuclear bomb the real risk today is not

nuclear warfare the big Powers will keep

that in balance as they have for 40

years the

risk the

nightmare is from other kinds of weapons

agan orange napon biolog no no no no no

those are weapons of third world Jungle

campaigners of rural colonial

wars we're talking about chemical

weapons

then with them you can kill your enemy

without the risk of killing

yourself No

Mess

exactly no halflife for centes just

clean safe elegant

killing all we need

is perhaps it's better not to talk about

such things have no wish to frighten

anyone well these things have to be said

the public has a right to

know then they should be told that the

Western powers of stockpiles of a

so-called nerve gas called sarin the

Soviet version is called saman a single

1 milligram droplet inhaled will

paralyze an adult in less than a minute

contact with any part of the body will

cause death do we know this for sure

they couldn't have possibly tested this

on real human beings how could they many

experiments have been made you Pious

Democrat atic westerners should not

imagine that your military scientists

have not done them but only on animals

of course sheep and goats and apes apes

are very good so like humans but much

more realistic tests must be made sooner

or later an ape going into spasm muscles

locked in agony is all very well but it

only tells us so much but when the world

is talking about banning such weapons

it's not likely they ever be used they

will be used and one day we must do

tests to find an antidote this is no

time for Scruples real full scale tests

must be made have you ever done such

test in your own country your

highness your

[Music]

highness I can see your highness is

troubled by these matters of life and

death thank you for sharing your

concerns with

[Music]

us is that what you paid for a hatchet

[Music]

job listen we better hurry up and shoot

my cutting questions listen about the

film I want you to pack it in two

separate cans clearly marked one and two

can you do that for me

[Music]

sure what' you think you were supposed

to ask a few stupid questions that's all

man dug his own

grave didn't have to bury him in it

well that's nearly that I think we

should get out of here as fast as

possible did you take this for

me Mr

H come with

me the film of your interview is to be

held for

censoring no no no this film was to be

released by me for processing Mr

holiday we won the

joking this is great stuff Bob this

could change my career news this morning

had an item about your Amir he collapsed

and had to be rushed to a hospital in

Vienna

your producer here thinks it would be in

very bad taste to show something that

appeared to hit a sick man when he's

down oh he thought that did he I wonder

who put that thought in his mind they

did say it had a phone call from I

didn't quite get who apparently the

austrians felt the same oh never mind

fee yeah that's all right it's just

fine it's just fine
