- Little jazz looking good tonight? - Yeah, looking good.

Manuel.

All controlled, Mr Ambassador. Temperature, humidity.

Amount of oxygen in the air.

The perfect environment for a painting.

For a painting, yes, Tandi for a man, no.

- Breathtaking aren't they? - Yes, sir.

And now the final edition.

Thank you, Tandi.

My little collection of american treasures is now complete.

You've done a superlative job, Tandi.

Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.

Just a matter of weeks now, we can exchange these for american dollars.

I think the United States is going to prove

a very generous host country, don't you Tandi?

Indeed, Mr. Ambassador, indeed.

We must travel, we certainly travel in style.

The secretary's private plane wilderness.

- Gin. - Gin? I just finished dealing.

Would my card give you gin?

That's a 132 to 47. You owe me one kiss.

- You probably cheated, Dr. Westin. - Well, of course Dr. Westin.

I hate to break things out, but I have some background for you.

Now a few weeks ago,

a routine examination of the national treasury

paintings that hang in the capitol buildings main.

X-rays disclosed at five of the most important pieces were forgeries.

Forgeries in the capital?

It's an extremely embarrassing and potentially

dangerous situation for congress as well as the president.

- Especially in the bicentennial year. - They know who did it?

Government agencies have followed the trail that leads to the Iberian embassy.

And Diego DeVega, the ambassador.

- Why don't just arrest him? - Because they need proof.

Not suspicion.

Also, the ambassador happens to be the youngest

brother of Iberia's eccentric old dictator.

Who only winks at such playful extortions.

- I see, proof. - Proof.

And if the proof is in that embassy.

Which is considered foreign soil and therefore outside our jurisdiction.

- Another means has to be tried. - The Klae resource.

- Me. - Us.

Right.

I'm Wood, the secretary security chief.

- One of you is Larson? - Carlson and I'm walter Carlson.

Nice of you to meet us, Mr. Wood.

These are my associates doctors Dan and kate Westin.

Let me tell you one thing, Carlson.

I'm not used to people overstepping by authority.

Now this uh special agency yours, what is it called the Klae Resource?

There is one, only one stipulation.

In all of the contracts regarding the use of the resource

that stipulation is that I had the team.

Now the secret of the resource must remain

intact in order for it to operate properly.

Now if we're going to work together.

You'd better understand that the secretary does.

Can we get going?

Yes, your reservations are at the Mayfair.

I'll brief you on the way.

Close the window, please.

In there are photographs of the ambassador DeVega

and an ex-con who goes by the name of Tandi.

He works for the DeVega, very sharp. We think he was the author.

Also keep your eye open for a man named Victorio Gregario.

We think he's using the DeVega embassy parties

for a cover and a shelter for a hot odd ring.

Could you get us into one of his embassy parties?

Probably. If you're caught snooping, you're on your own.

Dan, I've got the equipment.

- Dan, where are you? - Right here.

Don't do that, Be the death of me.

Got you put on your head.

- Sorry. - Where's Kate?

She's in the shower.

Wood's got an invitation for a party tonight at the embassy.

She's to go as Kate Brandon photojournalist for Newstime.

Now the DeVega thinks that she's doing an article on it.

Oh, good, uh what about my camera?

Klae's newest. I'm really proud of this. Smallest lightest camera in the world.

- I bet you still have to focus it. - No, just aim and shoot.

Amazing what technology can do.

Yeah, amazing what it can't do.

Sorry Dan.

Let me know when you're ready. I'll drive you over.

Right

- Dan, is Walter gone? - Yes.

Didn't want him to see me like this.

- Is that really a camera? - Hu-hum.

Dan, is there filming that?

I'll kill you if you took my picture.

Well there's your camera gear.

You're now Kate Brandon of Newstime magazine.

DeVega thinks you're coming to do an article on him.

Oh, and uh put that in there too, will you?

I'll need it later.

- Oh, and uh there's one other thing. - What?

Try to make yourself attractive to him.

Try to?

- Play up to him? - Yes.

Dan, how hard do you want me to play up to him?

Walters wants you to play up to him.

So that you can uh get some influence over him.

- He's not going to bother you? - Yeah well drive me up the wall.

But then they do say, he's a sucker for girls with curlers in their hair.

Hurry up this marble is cold on my feet.

Good night. Your card, please.

My aides told me I was to be interviewed by a woman journalist,

but I have no idea.

You're stunning.

I'm Kate Brandon, Newstime magazine.

Please, excuse my guards.

Cameras usually not allowed. Security.

I understand. I can leave the case at the door. I have a smaller one inside.

Now if you don't mind I would like to follow you around this evening.

Listen to your conversations. Take a few photographs get to know you.

My dear, I can think nothing without you.

He's already.

- Like some dinner manned well. - Yes I'm hungry.

That's on the table.

And don't touch it. Thing will go off if you look at it.

Do you use have enough shure time.

Not at all. So much too long.

I'd like to think of the whole world as my personal casino.

Would you excuse me for a moment, please. I'll be right back.

Is he ignoring you gorgeous?

- Dany, how are you? - Tell you later.

Just figure a way to get my camera into DeVega's right pocket soon.

- Can't you do it? - Too many people.

Oh!

Maybe you should get a set of training wheels.

Clumsy idiot.

Are you all right? Did you get wet?

Oh I think my camera bag caught a little.

- Uh, would you do me a favor, Diego. - Of course.

I want to go put this case with the rest of my gear but keep my camera.

- Uh, just keep things for me. - Of course.

What? Manoel, get ambassador now.

You know I'm the only one who can touch this plate.

Tandi I beg you, please.

Keep a good distance away from the sensor plate.

I didn't touch it.

How many pictures of me do you need?

I need hundreds to choose from in your wonderful model.

Right into the camera.

As for being such a wonderful subject.

Darling wait for the later view.

Mister Ambassador. DeVega.

Will you excuse me, Kate. Duty is no respecter of ours.

I must have this friday.

Friday is much to soon, Gregrario. It's out of question.

- It's impossible. - I am not asking you about.

Friday is the only day I can arrange it.

I apologize for deserting you.

That was Gregario. The international art dealer wasn't?

Yes, he uses the embassy occasionally for his showings you know him?

Oh, by reputation only.

- What's it? - False alarm, don't worry.

- Wait here, Miss. - I'm with the Ambassador.

All is that set now.

Nothing. All of a sudden the air pressure rises and the bells start ringing.

- Gregario maybe is right. - Sir?

Gregario wants to fly these paintings out on friday by helicopter.

Says it's the only time he can arrange for a pickup.

No, no, that's earlier than we planned. I wouldn't trust them.

We have no choice, Tandi. Things like this the alarms.

Just don't feel right.

These paintings have to come out of here.

Does Gregario know what these paintings are?

No, I couldn't risk the chance of a leak.

All I had to do was tell them what the collection would bring that was enough.

This paintings come out on friday.

Do not just break off a few inches more and something

of great value could have been destroyed.

Yes sir I'll look into it.

Kate, I'm terribly sorry.

Something like this always seems to happen when I am most enjoying myself.

Nothing serious, I hope.

No, no, no. The only tragedy is that I can't

have more time tospend with you tonight.

Could you act as my hostess this thursday night.

Nothing me one of those little art gatherings and gregorios, huh.

And this time no pictures, no interviews, just you and me.

I'd love to. If I'm in town, uh, call me at the Mayfair.

Indeed I shall. Shall we drink?

This way.

Green violet.

Complete elixir of love.

Most dangerous, let me say, when used properly.

Now.

It's that ridiculous.

I don't know how that happened.

Oh, Diego. I almost forgot, do you have my lens caps and light meters.

Oh yes. Yeah, I forgot. about them myself. There and I have more.

I don't know how that happened.

Oh I must seem absolutely foolish to yourself.

Until thursday.

Au-revoir.

In spite of your great personal success with the ambassador.

You told me to lead him on.

I didn't tell you to drive him to drink.

You were doing the driving in.

Yeah! Well, in spite of your effective support, I'm afraid we failed.

- Where did we fail? - You took the photograph.

- It was all in vain. - Why?

We've got enough evidence right now to get a warrant to search that embassy.

By the time that native agreement is signed.

By the time they can move in those paintings are going to be long gone.

- How? - By helicopter day after tomorrow.

Force the copper down after it's taken off.

Now DeVega could be over the water in less than 60 seconds.

All he has to do is to throw the paintings into the drink.

However, there are two solutions.

The first is to call on Generalissimo DeVega,

show him the pictures and get him to deal with his.

No good. there's no telling how the journalism will react.

He could cancel that NATO to lease immediately.

What's the second solution?

Well, at best it only has an outside chance.

- It'll need government help. - No problem.

We, uh, we play DeVegas game only in reverse.

We go back into the vault with the fortuners and exchange them for the originals.

Without his knowing it.

Danny, you can't, that's impossible.

It's our only chance, if we don't do that, the paintings are gone.

The ambassador's limousine will pick me up in 15 minutes.

Are we all set?

- Where are the paintings? - In the truck.

The truck?

The best Klae laboratory should come up with according to

your specs it'll keep a man unconscious for 20 minutes.

- The cart, my uniform. - In the truck.

- Will follow right behind. - All right, let's go.

Danny be careful.

- That's it. they're in. - Now we wait.

I dont know, but I can find out. Gregario.

Please.

Madam Uboto is very much interested in this little Matisse victorious,

specifically how long it's been shall we say.

- Off the shelf. - No problem at all.

Very good.

This is such a bore. I want to be alone with you.

Champagne makes me silly. Does it do that to you?

When I'm around you everything makes me silly.

You need a refill, Mr. ambassador. Stay right here. I'll be right back.

- How's he doing? - He's well on his way.

It's time. Are you ready?

Don't let him go upstairs.

- I love you, Danny. - Go on.

Oh. Thank you.

I would love to.

- What? - Excuse me.

I'm not feeling very well.

You could stand to lose a few pounds, Mr. Ambassador.

Danny, how long have you been there?

Long enough. What time is it?

- 11:45. - 20 minutes.

Put his arm around your neck. He's too heavy.

All right, let's go. I'll push his legs.

- Tandi's watching. - Kiss him.

- What kind of a girl you think I am? - I said kiss him.

- He's unconscious. - Will you kiss him?

All right. I'll take him now.

Excuse me.

Oh, uh, could we go into the library?

Oh, no!

Oh sir, could you get us some champagne.

Oh, why don't you bring the whole cart. That one.

Your champagne, Mr. Ambassador.

Okay, find DeVegas keys.

Dan.

Here, take this.

Quick! Get back in his lap. Check the time.

Seven to twelve.

Smear your lipstick and mess up your hair.

What?

Put his hand on the plate.

Laughs!

Louder.

Mr. ambassador.

- I think he's giving you the night off. - Is that correct, sir?

Saber you stead.

Yes, thank you, thank you, sir.

I don't care, somebody should be in front of that vault.

I wouldn't want to go in there and interrupt him.

Now Danny they're all in the car.

- You push, I'll pull. - Right.

Give me the Vegas keys, quickly.

Dannny, where are you? Oh, what are you gonna do?

Never mind, get your painting in the car.

Put the keys back.

Hurry Danny.

Well, I think we ought to think about somebody watching that vault.

Sirs, uh have either of you gentlemen seen my uh my service car.

We are packing up.

Where's the ambassador? I thought you two were...

I'm not used to having gentlemen pass out on me.

- He's at his desk. - Yes ma'am.

We're gonna have to sober him up.

Get some hot coffee from the kitchen.

You wait here. I'll get your car.

Thank you.

Get out now.

That's not the plan, Danny. I'm supposed to stay here with the ambassador.

I don't care, it's too dangerous.

- Thank you. - Here you go.

What happened, Kate?

Tell the ambassador to give me a call when he's sober.

- Madam. - Yes.

I'll call the ambassador's limousine.

- Oh, no. I've called a cab. - No trouble at all, Miss Brandon.

Please, don't bother. I'm sure the cab is out front already.

The chauffeur can be ready to go in a minute.

That won't be necessary. I'm taking a cab.

Oh no, sweet Kate.

I insist.

Incredible, almost impossible. This resource of yours is just...

- Where's kate? - She hasn't come out yet.

I told you Diego, you were very drunk.

You opened the drawer and put your hand on that

thingamajig and that panel opened just like it is now.

And that's when I came out.

- You told me to take the night off. - Never.

Did you set foot in that passageway?

No, I was with you.

Was there anything else Tandi? Anything?

Champagne... The service car.

Oh no, the collection. Manuel you stay with her. Tandi!

I can tell. I cannot tell.

Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes.

These are the originals. They are the originals.

Now I don't know whether to believe her or not.

Well I suppose I am forced to, that's all.

- Sir. - yes?

Do you wear earrings, Tandi?

Kate was supposed to be with De Vega when anyone come.

I told you I changed the plan. I told her to get out.

She should have been out by now.

Kate these men are going to be very rough with

you if you do not tell me who is behind all this.

- I've been telling you I am. - You.

And how did you happen to learn about all this.

- A bar I, uh, forgotten the name. - You're lying.

No way. You haven't got these paintings anyway, Kate.

Why do you force me to hurt you?

Well, this is your last chance, Kate.

Who knew about this?

Gregario. Gregario did.

Of course.

Gregario my good friend, Gregario.

See if he's still here, quickly.

- All right that's it. - Westin, come back.

I've got to give you credit Westin, you did a fine job.

But I'm not going to stand here and let you go back in there and ruin it.

- The project's too important. - He's right, Dan.

- What about Kate? - She'll be all right.

You've got your paintings Mr. Wood. I want my wife.

He's your man Carson, can't you stop him?

Nope, not a millions years.

- Originals. - Of course.

Why, where could you sell them?

Exactly what I was going to ask you, Gregario?

Where did you intend to sell them?

Is this a joke? What are you talking about?

This room? These paintings? What?

These paintings are what I'm supposed to help you to move.

You are out of your mind?

Oh you're a marvelous actor Victorio, Bravo.

But you see it's too late. It's over you are caught.

The girl miss Brandon has told us everything.

Ah!

Sorry kate. I know that Gregario

understands I hope that you will do.

But I can't take the risk that

any of this will ever come out.

Suffocation would have been a much kinder way to

kill you but unfortunately my system is out of order.

However, Tandi is very proficient with a gun.

And I assure you he'll see it with you die painless.

After you've finished leave their bodies here in the overnight,

then pack them into the helicopter when we leave tomorrow.

Once we get out over the ocean we can dump them.

Isn't that romantic, Kate?

A berry, let's see.

Good night sweet Kate.

Come with me, Manoel. See you tomorrow.

Just be sure the paintings are wrapped and created by nine o'clock.

- Sir, and the bodies. - The same.

Only make certain they sink, huh, close that panel.

You won't feel a thing. I promise.

- Ladies first. - Oh, no!

Grazie, mio Dio!

It's about to shoot us. And something knock him.

Something... from my heaven.

It was our guardian angel, Mr. Gregario.

Are we lucky to have one that cares.

Kate!

Danny.

What's so funny?

Nothing. Just the first time I've ever. seen an angel in chef's clothing.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

They say goodbye to wood for me. Thank you.

That was the Secretary.

just wanted us to know that the Vegas helicopter got off on schedule.

As far as they know with the forgeries.

What's going to happen to?

Well after they sign the new nato lease.

They plan to inform the older brother of the ambassador's, uh, operations.

Then the general Isamo will remove him from Washington.

- And that will be that. - I feel sorry for Gregario.

- He'll go to prison. - Well...

Seems the slimy ones like DeVega always get away.

Gin.

You can't do that I was talking to Walters.

Gin.

How many kisses do I owe you?

I'll tell you when we get back to Los Angeles.

Second thought, why don't I tell you now.
