ACKNOWLEDGED.

AM IN CONTACT WITH ALICIA.

LEONETTI WAS RIGHT. THEY'LL TRY ANYTHING TO STOP US.

YOU'RE TAPING ME, OF COURSE. GOOD.

FIRST, DR. LEONETTI IS DEAD.

THEY HAULED HIS BODY OUT OF THE GRAND CANAL.

THE POLICE CALLED IT SUICIDE.

BUT ALICIA HAS THE INFORMATION.

THOSE TAPES LEONETTI SENT...

ARE THE DEFENSES AGAINST THEIR SO-CALLED ULTIMATE WEAPON.

WE PLAYED THE TAPES. THEY'RE GIBBERISH.

[ Crane ] ALICIA HAS THE KEY. IT'S A TUNE.

FEED THE NOTES OF THE TUNE THROUGH THE COMPUTER,

AND THE SONIC IMPULSES WILL DECODE THE TAPE.

SHE TAUGHT ME THE MELODY, BUT SHE'S GONNA HUM IT TO YOU HERSELF.

STAND BY TO TAPE IT. GO AHEAD.

THIS IS THE TUNE.

AND NOW FURTHER INFORMATION ON LAST NIGHT'S BRUTAL GONDOLA MURDER.

THE VICTIM, A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG AMERICAN TOURIST,

WAS STRUCK DOWN BY A BLADE WITH A POISONED TIP.

ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT OF THE GONDOLIER,

POLICE BELIEVE HER MURDERER WAS THE SAME AMERICAN...

WHO ACCOMPANIED HER ABOARD THE GONDOLA.

KEEP AT IT. MONITOR IT ALL NIGHT IF YOU HAVE TO.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Man On Speaker ] ADMIRAL NELSON.

YES? NELSON INSTITUTE COMING THROUGH FOR ADMIRAL NELSON.

MISS HALE IN COMMUNICATIONS.

VERY WELL.

UNSCRAMBLE.

[ Beeping ]

MORNING, MISS HALE. GOOD EVENING, SIR.

RELAY THE FOLLOWING TO THE OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

YOU READY?

DR. LEONETTI IS DEAD, BUT HIS TAPES ARE ABOARD SEAVIEW.

THESE TAPES REPRESENT OUR DEFENSE AGAINST THE NEW WEAPON SYSTEM...

DEVELOPED BY THE OTHER SIDE.

THE KEY TO THE TAPES IS A TUNE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR. YOU SAID "TUNE"?

THAT'S RIGHT, A MELODY. CAPTAIN CRANE KNOWS THE MELODY,

BUT HE'S TRAPPED IN VENICE, FRAMED WITH A MURDER CHARGE.

- SO I'M LEAVING FOR VENICE IMMEDIATELY. - YES, SIR.

ONE OTHER THING. REQUEST O.N.I....

TO SEND ME THE IDENTITY OF THE TOP ENEMY AGENT IN NORTH ITALY.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

OH, ADMIRAL, CAN YOU GET LEE--

CAN YOU GET CAPTAIN CRANE OUT OF THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I WISH I DID.

YOU KNOW, CHIP,

LEE MAY BE DEAD FOR ALL WE KNOW, BUT I'M GAMBLING HE'S NOT.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOING INTO VENICE OPENLY.

YOU'LL BE RECOGNIZED IN NO TIME FLAT.

WELL, THE SOONER THE BETTER. IF I CAN'T FIND CRANE, THEN HE HAS TO FIND ME.

ARE YOU GOING ALONE, SIR?

NO, I'LL NEED TWO MEN.

IS THERE ANYBODY ABOARD THAT CAN WRITE MUSIC?

UH, STU RILEY CAN.

[ Chuckles ] I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN.

IF YOU CALL THAT MUSIC. IT'S THAT SURFER STUFF.

QUALITY DOESN'T MATTER. AS LONG AS HE CAN WRITE THE NOTES DOWN.

ALERT HIM, AND I'LL NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE US IN ON THE FLYING SUB.

CHIEF SHARKEY CAN HANDLE THAT. I'LL SEE TO IT AT ONCE.

[ Man On Speaker ] ADMIRAL. YES.

MISS HALE CALLING FROM THE INSTITUTE.

COMING.

UNSCRAMBLE. [ Beeping ]

GOT ANYTHING, MISS HALE? YES, SIR.

A REPORT FROM O.N.I. THEY HAVE INFORMATION ON AN ENEMY AGENT...

WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING HIS HEADQUARTERS RIGHT IN VENICE SOMEWHERE.

- WHO IS HE? - HIS COVER NAME IS COUNT STAGLIONI.

BUT THE JET-SET TYPES CALL HIM FERDIE.

FERDIE? THAT DOESN'T SOUND VERY IMPOSING, DOES IT?

DON'T BE FOOLED, SIR.

O.N.I. SAYS HE'S DANGEROUS.

YOU ARE TO USE EXTREME CAUTION.

REPEAT: EXTREME.

VENICE-- THE ONLY GREAT CITY IN THE WORLD...

THAT CAN BE COMPLETELY CUT OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE.

LEE'S TRAPPED. FRAMED AND TRAPPED. HOLED UP IN THERE.

BUT WHERE?

A HUNDRED CANALS, A THOUSAND ALLEYWAYS.

WE'LL LAND IN THE ADRIATIC, BEYOND THE ISLANDS...

AND THEN SUBMERGE.

THIS IS A VERY FAMOUS AMERICAN GENTLEMAN, ADMIRAL HARRIMAN NELSON.

MY FRIEND, COUNT STAGLIONI.

MY DEAR ADMIRAL, I AM HONORED.

PLEASE SIT DOWN. JOIN ME. MM-HMM?

I REALLY HAVEN'T MUCH TIME. I INSIST.

COME. JOIN ME. ANTONIO.

I HAD NO IDEA VENICE HAD SUCH A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

YOU ARE HERE LONG? JUST A BRIEF HOLIDAY.

I PLAN TO SEE THE SIGHTS AND RELAX A BIT.

HE WANTED TO GO TO A CASINO, AND HERE WE MEET YOU.

BUT YOU MUST NOT WASTE AN EVENING AT THE OLD CASINO.

[ Julietta ] FERDIE RUNS THE NEW CASINO.

IT'S MUCH SMARTER. ALL THE REALLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE PLAY THERE NOW.

YOU MUST VISIT IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE, ADMIRAL.

THIS WILL ADMIT YOU TO THE SALLE PRIVÉE AT THE CASINO.

SO MUCH MORE INTIMATE. THANK YOU.

- YOU ARE ENJOYING VENICE? - WELL, LET'S SAY I FIND IT STIMULATING.

I CAN IMAGINE. UNDOUBTEDLY, YOU HAVE FRIENDS HERE.

IT'S SOMETIMES RATHER DIFFICULT TO KNOW JUST WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.

[ Laughing ] HOW TRUE.

BUT I FIND THE NATIVES FRIENDLY. SO I SEE.

NOW, FERDIE, YOU MUST NOT MONOPOLIZE THE ADMIRAL. WE WERE GETTING ON SO WELL.

AH, YES. YOU MUST NOT PERMIT ME TO SPOIL YOUR FUN.

BUT DO TRY TO VISIT MY CASINO. WILL YOU, ADMIRAL?

YES, YOU MUST. AND I WILL BE THERE TONIGHT.

IN THAT CASE, I'LL MAKE A POINT OF IT. GOOD.

VERY NICE TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU.

ARRIVEDERCI, ADMIRAL. CIAO, JULIETTA. CIAO.

OH!

[ Panting ]

[ Panting ]

POLICE BELIEVE THE YOUNG MAN WAS STRUCK BY AT LEAST ONE OF THEIR BULLETS...

AND MAY BE FORCED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

THE FUGITIVE WOULD APPEAR TO BE DOOMED...

SINCE VENICE IS THE ONLY MAJOR CITY WHICH CAN BE SEALED OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

WITH THE SINGLE BRIDGE TO THE MAINLAND GUARDED...

AND WITH ALL BOAT OPERATORS WARNED,

CAPTURE OF THE UNIDENTIFIED AMERICAN IS,

SEEMINGLY, A MATTER OF HOURS.

ADMIRAL.

GETTING ANYTHING, RILEY?

THE VENETIAN FUZZ HAS GOT A PANIC GOING, SIR.

IT SEEMS SOME JOKER KNOCKED ONE OF THEIR MEN IN THE CANAL.

WHERE?

THE SAME LANDING WHERE THE MURDER GONDOLA WAS STASHED.

THAT HAS TO BE CRANE. THEY DIDN'T CATCH HIM?

NO, SIR, NOT EVEN CLOSE. THE SKIPPER'S REALLY GOT 'EM BUGGED.

ALL THE REPORTS SEEM TO BE COMING FROM THE PIAZZA SAN MARCO AREA.

THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE I MET THE COUNT.

[ Sharkey ] WELL, THAT WAS ONE BREAK ANYWAY.

YOU GET PICKED UP BY A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, AND SHE HAPPENS TO KNOW THIS COUNT.

BREAKS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

THE LOVELY YOUNG LADY IN QUESTION WAS ON THE PROWL LOOKING FOR ME.

SO I LET HER FIND ME AND TAKE ME TO THE COUNT.

IT'S ALWAYS SAFER TO LET THE MOUSE THINK HE'S RUNNING THE SHOW.

I HOPE YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, BECAUSE THIS COUNT CHARACTER...

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANYBODY YOU COULD BE PLAYING AROUND WITH.

HE'S NO MORE DANGEROUS THAN A CORNERED COBRA.

[ Beeping ]

ALICIA WAS KILLED WITH A POISON-TIPPED BLADE JUST LIKE THIS ONE.

WHO ORDERED YOU TO KILL HER?

TALK, OR SO HELP ME, I'LL SNAP IT OFF.

- WHERE'S CAPTAIN CRANE? - TALK!

EASE UP ON HIM, CHIEF. CRANE'S ALIVE. I'M SURE OF THAT NOW.

BUT SOMEBODY'S AFRAID I'LL GET TO HIM FIRST.

THAT'S WHY YOU CAME HERE TO KILL ME, ISN'T IT?

DON'T COP OUT ON US, BUSTER. ANSWER.

- NEVER MIND, CHIEF. LET HIM GO. - LET HIM GO?

LET HIM GO!

YOU GET OUT OF HERE, EH, BEFORE I KILL YOU.

COME ON.

YOU SHOULD'VE-- SHOULD'VE LET US CLOBBER HIM, ADMIRAL.

TAIL HIM, CHIEF. REPORT TO ME THE MINUTE HE CONTACTS SOMEBODY.

ANYBODY. AYE, AYE, SIR.

I'M GOING TO THE CASINO AS SOON AS IT OPENS.

I'M GONNA DO A LITTLE GAMBLING.

WELL, LISTEN, BELLINI.

TO WRITE MUSIC NOTES, AND I NEED HIM NOW.

WELL, I KNOW OF NO ONE WHO CAN BE TRUSTED.

- I ASSUME THAT WE'RE YOUR PRISONERS. - YOU ARE.

I WOULDN'T TRY ANYTHING IF I WERE YOU. I HAVE AMPLE MANPOWER.

ALL WELL-ARMED.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH BY HOLDING US?

YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL AGENT. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEATEN.

BEATEN, ADMIRAL? HOW DO YOU ARRIVE AT THAT CONCLUSION?

CRANE WAS THE MAN YOU HAD TO STOP, NOT ME.

BY NOW, HE'S ABOARD THE SEAVIEW AND OUT OF YOUR REACH.

REALLY? JULIETTA.

THEN WE RAN OUTSIDE INTO A WHOLE FLOCK OF 'EM.

[ Sighs ] WIPEOUT.

AND MAY I COMPLIMENT YOU AND YOUR MEN ON YOUR RESOURCEFULNESS.

UNHAPPILY, IT HAS GAINED YOU NOTHING.

THE LITTLE TUNE THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US...

IS STILL LOCKED IN THE GOOD CAPTAIN'S HEAD.

AM I RIGHT? PERHAPS YOU ARE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T DO EITHER ONE OF US ANY GOOD.

I DOUBT IF CAPTAIN CRANE IS IN THE MOOD TO SING.

OH, PERHAPS NOT.

BUT THE TUNE WOULD BE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO US, YOU KNOW.

WERE YOU AWARE THAT WE TOO POSSESS A COPY OF THE LAMENTED DR. LEONETTI'S CRYPTIC TAPE?

THAT'S WHY WE PREFERRED TO CAPTURE THE GOOD CAPTAIN.

WE ARE MOST ANXIOUS TO DECODE THE TAPE OURSELVES.

I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T. NOT WITHOUT THE TUNE.

OH, CAPTAIN CRANE WILL SING.

JUST AS YOUR YOUNG LADY DID.

WITH THE AID OF A LITTLE SHOT OF AMINE TRI-OXIDASE.

NO, WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE.

I SUPPOSE IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT NONE OF US WILL GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE.

IT'S A FAIR STATEMENT.

I REGRET IT MUST INCLUDE THE SCHOOLTEACHER. POOR LITTLE THING.

BUT SHE KNOWS FAR TOO MUCH NOW. YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU?

PERFECTLY. BUT SINCE WE'RE ALL CONDEMNED TO DIE,

I'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE LAST REQUEST.

ALL RIGHT.

AS A GAMBLING MAN, YOU MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH THE OLD SUPERSTITION...

THAT A CONDEMNED MAN INVARIABLY HAS LUCK IN GAMBLING.

DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, ADMIRAL? HARDLY.

BUT I'D LIKE TO TRY ONE TURN AT THE WHEEL.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN.

BUT WE MIGHT TEST THE SUPERSTITION.

- AND WHY SHOULD I AGREE? - BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN INQUISITIVE MIND.

BECAUSE YOU'RE A GAMBLER. ARE YOU TEMPTED?

ONE PLAY? THAT'S ALL?
