All language subtitles for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. S01E24 The Hong Kong Shilling Affair

The Smiling Fish, a waterfront
bar, that is what you said, didn't you?

Yeah, but it looks deserted.

I don't like empty places
that should be crowded.

It means trouble.

- This time of day?
- Uh-huh.

So sorry, please,
rickshaw not free now...

honorable gentleman,
try someplace else.

Napoleon.

How long do we have to keep
this up. My feet are getting cold.

Well, your suffering distresses
me, but not very much.

Max is approaching
The Smiling Fish now.

Oh. There's a very
pretty girl with him.

It is all right, Max.

It is all right.

Wait for me.

Next, we have the current disposition of
the American Pacific Submarine Fleets.

A very valuable item indeed.
Complete and up to date.

What am I offered?

Shall we begin the
bidding at $100,000?

One hundred thousand
dollars from Comrade Voshnosh.

- One hundred and twenty.
- One hundred and fifty.

Any advance of 150?

A small price, ladies and gentlemen.
You can do better than that.

One hundred and seventy-five.

One hundred seventy-five.

Two hundred thousand dollars.

Any advance of $200,000?

Sold to Comrade Voshnosh
for $200,000. Mr. Knopfagel.

That is $200,000 transferred
from the account number...

Apricot. I bid you welcome.

WOMAN: Mr. Cleveland.

The item for which we
have all been waiting...

has arrived in Hong
Kong by courier.

It will be delivered to you
during the course of the day.

- Is that the...?
- Shh.

I need not tell you we
expect considerable interest...

on the part of all your buyers.

I am putting a
reserve price on it.

One million dollars.
Is that understood?

Understood.

We will get more.

Well.

While we wait the arrival
of this special item...

where were we?

Ah.

The Panamanian installations of
the U.S. Nike sites and their range.

Shall we start the
bidding at $150,000?

- Did you bring it?
- Well, Merry. How nice to see you.

Ha-ha. Uh...

- Did you bring the money?
- No more money.

Oh.

So that's their answer, huh?

That's their answer.

- In that case, I didn't bring it.
- Well, in that case, take a look-see.

After all the
things I've done...

I get killed for a
Pine Tree shilling.

It doesn't make sense.

Does it?

- What's he talking about?
- He is dying and he knows it.

Tell me. Tell me again.

What is it you
are trying to say?

A dragonfly.

A dragon...

There's nothing
we could have done.

What happened? What's his name?

I do not know.

He just stopped to ask me
the way and I was showing him.

We'd better get out of here.

That big man, he
might have friends.

- My name's Bernie Oren. And you're, uh...?
- Heavenly.

Heavenly Cortelle.

Oh, God. Quickly,
we are not safe here.

We'd better find a policeman.

There's a cop over there.

No. Wait.

Run, Heavenly. Run.

She's already done
that. It's just the three

of us now, so let's
have a little chat.

- Okay?
- Okay?

Okay.

A Pine Tree Shilling?

That's what he said.

He said, "After all the things I've done,
I get killed for a Pine Tree Shilling."

Know what it means?

It's a 17th century
American coin, quite valuable.

Not valuable enough to
interest the man we're after.

Tell us why you went to help
Max Wenzel. You knew him?

No, I'm just a tourist just
looking around Hong Kong.

I saw a fellow American in
trouble, I went to help him.

I'm good at the hai hai business,
made a hobby of judo, karate, the works.

You were just passing by?

Just passing by.

Well, I'd prefer to believe you,
but it does sound a little fortuitous.

Scusi.

Mr. Waverly on the
console from New York.

Oh, good.

Well, Mr. Solo, we've
got those answers for you.

That fingerprint you sent us by telephoto
belongs to a man named Bernie Oren.

Age 26.

Occupation, student.

Address, Clary, Montana.

Honorable discharge
from the Marines.

Three medals in South Vietnam.

Good record.

Now on a tour of the Far East traveling
second class, seems to be in the clear.

Good. Illya thinks we
may be able to use him.

If you decide to put him to work,
bear in mind he's not expendable.

Yes, I'm well aware
that he's not one of us.

Have you discovered what it was
Max Wenzel was delivering to Apricot?

A shilling.

Seems like rather a small
price to pay for a man's life.

Any price, Mr. Solo, is a
small price for a man's life.

- And kindly remember that.
- Yes, sir.

Incidentally.

Our office in Macao has
reported that the Red Chinese...

have just purchased the NA
TO naval intelligence code.

In Hong Kong.

Urgency, Mr. Solo,
is the order of the day.

Yes, sir.

- Is it ready?
- Mm-hm.

Let's test it.

Testing, testing.

- He's cleared.
- Good.

How would you like
to earn some money?

Legally, but dangerously.

Suppose you tell me first
just who you are, Mr. Solo?

Suppose I don't.

- Take you on trust?
- Something like that.

How much is some money?

One thousand dollars?

Is your life worth that much?

- You must need me real bad.
- As bait, Bernie.

This man that we're after,
he calls himself Apricot.

Man, woman or organization,
we don't know what.

But we do know that Apricot
sells secrets, anybody's secrets...

to the highest bidder, and American
secrets are fetching the highest prices.

Danger isn't so hard to face
when you know just how big it is.

Now, Max Wenzel was a courier.

We don't know what he was carrying,
but he was carrying it for Apricot.

He came to Cleveland,
this toy manufacturer...

and he upped the price, we believe,
and arranged to meet him later on with it.

He then went to a nightclub
called The Dragon's Tooth...

where he met Heavenly Cortelle.

Then he went to The Smiling
Fish, and that's where he was killed.

Your timely arrival
on the scene...

we hope, may persuade
Apricot that you are Max's partner.

That you have the item
that Max was bringing. If so...

If so you retrace Max's steps...

and probably, we believe, that
Apricot will come gunning for you.

- That's all I have to do?
- That's pretty simple, isn't it?

You did say a thousand dollars?

That's what I said, just
go to the Dragon's Tooth...

and nowhere else
but the Dragon's Tooth.

Well, I was hoping I'd
see Heavenly again.

He said it was a
Pine Tree Shilling.

I do not know what a Pine
Tree Shilling looks like...

but it is not one of these.

It is the man that
came to Max's rescue.

His partner?

Would he have one?

I do not know.

But I will soon find out.

Hello, Heavenly.

Well. Hong Kong's
full of surprises.

Did not take you
very long to find me.

We're all entitled to a
bit of luck once in a while.

The same kind of luck that
took you to The Smiling Fish?

Oh, that wasn't luck, I
was looking for Maxie.

Oh.

He was carrying
something pretty valuable.

I was just keeping my eyes open.

Not too successful, was I?

- Down the hatch.
- He didn't have it.

Before they got rid of
the body, they looked.

I know. I have it.

Tell your pals, Heavenly,
they've got to deal with me now.

Well, what about it, Heavenly?

What's that thumping
noise in the background?

His heart.

- Scared already?
- Mm-mm.

He's met his heart's desire.

My friends will deal with you.

Willingly.

If you can convince me
that you really have it.

But I do not
believe you, Bernie.

Are you sure?

Half sure.

There's an easy way
to find out, isn't there?

I'll see you on the
Heavenly Circuit, Heavenly.

Well, that wasn't
very helpful, was it?

Well, at least it shows
which side she's on.

Well?

He says he has got it.

There is an easy way
to find out, isn't there?

Can you handle him
properly this time?

This time, I'll be
ready for him. Ha-ha.

- You know where The Smiling Fish bar is?
- I know.

Across the water.
OREN: Let's go.

Got a date with
a fish over there.

I told him only the Dragon's Tooth,
he doesn't follow orders too well.

You're gonna tell us just
what you did with that coin.

Uh...

I don't have it. I
don't know where it is.

No?

Then who does have it?

Uh... My partner, there's another
guy keeping his eye on me. He has it.

You really expect
me to believe that?

Hey, let me down.

I believe someone
wants to come out.

You've got to do better than that.
- Oh, really?

I think it behooves us to leave.

No time to be coy.

I don't figure I hardly
earned that, Mr. Solo.

But I tried, didn't I?

You almost got yourself killed doing
it. That's what you're being paid for.

So thank you, Bernie. And
we'll call it a day, all right?

You mean I'm fired?

I mean you should have stayed
at that nightclub and let them talk.

I figured I had a better way.

So I goofed, a guy's
allowed one mistake, isn't he?

No. Not in this
business, he isn't.

But you did help us.

You showed us that Heavenly is
part of an unfriendly organization.

I just can't believe that.

Yeah, and that is
your second mistake.

I'd sure like to try just once more.
That toy manufacturer's house?

No, Bernie, no. Too many people have
gone into that house and not come out.

I'll take care of it
myself, all right?

It's been nice knowing you.

Well, if you run
across Heavenly...

Afraid you ruffled
his dignity a bit.

Maybe it'll keep him alive and
make him wash his hands of the affair.

He does overreach himself a bit.

And a man had best not lose his
balance with the likes of Apricot around.

Where's that map of
the Cleveland place?

It's right in front of you.

There's a whole series of passageways
at the back, that's your best way in.

If you find any geese, freeze.

They're not called the
watchdogs of the East for nothing.

I thought I told you to
stay away from here.

What? Oh.

You need my help, I know you do.

Yeah, you need a kick in
the pants. Now, go home.

Out. Out, out and
don't come back.

Hold it.

Inside.

Before the night is out...

this man will have served
a very useful purpose.

There is one item on
your list, Mr. Cleveland...

which is of the utmost
importance to me.

I refer to the, uh...

- The American coin.
- Yes.

The most important piece of merchandise
that has ever come into our hands.

So it has come into your hands.

My information is that there
has been a slight contretemps.

Well, there has been a
slight delay in delivery...

but nothing of any
consequence, I assure you.

You mean the murder of the
man who was delivering it?

You are well informed,
Madame Claudile.

A necessary qualification
for my profession.

I am prepared to do business...

on, how shall I put
it, unusual terms?

This coin was acquired
for us in America.

It was sent here by a
courier named Max Wenzel.

Wenzel has met with an accident.

And the coin has been mislaid.

This way.

This incapacitated gentleman at our
feet has been of great importance to us.

He is one of Max
Wenzel's partners.

He knows where that coin is.

Each and every one of us in
this room is sufficiently skilled...

I venture to suggest, in the arts that
are necessary to make him talk freely.

So I offer you one body,
ready for interrogation.

Shall we begin the
bidding at $100,000?

- One hundred thousand dollars.
- One hundred thousand from Herr Schnuger.

Eh... Two hundred thousand.

- Two hundred and fifty.
- Do I hear $300,000?

Apricot is with us.

Cleveland, have
you sold the coin?

Not yet.

A representative from Outer
Mongolia is on his way here to bid for it.

Wait for his arrival.

His name is Toptamish Kipchak.

He is traveling
as Jeremiah Krim.

And he will identify himself
to you with the password:

"The tundra is fertile."

- Is that understood?
- Understood.

- When will he get here?
- In three hours.

You will wait for him.

He has already put up the
reserve bid of $ 1 million.

Oh...

It is always a pleasure to welcome
a newcomer to our organization.

We will keep the coin in abeyance
and proceed to the next item.

Operator, get me
the police. Quick.

Hello? Police headquarters?

You know that big house on the
waterfront, the Cleveland place?

They're killing a man in there.

That ought to do it.

- Get rid of that.
- But the police.

- They're all over the place.
- Get rid of that.

Hurry, Miss Wong.

Nothing to be alarmed
about. This is not the first time.

And here they are now.

Well, gentlemen, what
an unexpected pleasure.

Unexpected, true, but a
pleasure, I doubt, Mr. Cleveland.

Someone said...

a man was being killed.

Well, only one of
my competitors.

This is a sales meeting,
sergeant, nothing more.

I sell toys.

Search the place. Thoroughly.

Bernie. Oh. Oh...

Bernie?

Oh... Oh...

Bernie. Oh...

Do wake up.

Bernie?

It is me.

Heavenly.

I love you.

You do?

Well, then tell me
who that man is.

Max's partner?

Who, him?

No. He's just some kind of a
secret agent. I'm just working for him.

Would you not
rather work for me?

Oh, yeah.

I will be in touch.

Well, you sure look a mess.

I'm sorry, I can't work for
you any longer, Mr. Solo.

I've got a better offer.
Heavenly, wait for me.

Nevertheless. Thanks.

Max tried to contact
Apricot and was killed.

Bernie tried and was
caught. You tried and...

Yes, and the less said about
that the better, thank you.

- Passenger list you asked for.
- Thank you.

Here we go, passenger
Jeremiah Krim.

Merchant traveling
from Ulan Bator.

Fight number 37 landing 10
minutes ago. Come on, we'll miss him.

This way, Excellency.

I give you one minute
to put away gun. Ha-ha.

Then I kill you.

First, Jeremiah Krim, there is
something you have to tell me.

I will be called by my name...

Toptamish Kipchak.

There is no one in this room who
knows you, Toptamish Kipchak.

Ha-ha. Then know
me by these words:

The tundra is fertile.

Be seated, everyone.

Join us, Toptamish Kipchak.

I think you do not know
any of our clients here.

Madame Claudile from France.

I do not care to
know any of them.

I have come for my coin.

- Your coin?
- You have it?

No. I do not have it.

But, like all our finances...

it will be sold against
promise of delivery.

And that will be when?

Whenever it is.

You are merely one of
the many who will bid for it.

This is no place for a woman.

Whatever this woman
offers you, I will double it.

Provided coin is
what you claim it is.

That uncouth stable
hand smells of camels.

Listen to his offer,
Cleveland, and I will double it.

Kipchak will have
coin regardless of price.

I will have it.

I will accept offers
from both of you.

Shall we start
the bidding at...?

You already have
my bid of $1 million.

However, I asked
you for assurance.

I am waiting for assurance.

There is no doubt of its authenticity.
When you test it, you will see.

There was a man like you...

in Ulan Bator.

Who tried my patience.

The vultures are now
picking at his bones.

I wish to raise
the bid, Cleveland.

Among my people...

when a woman dares
to oppose Kipchak...

I have her flogged...

and dragged behind wild horses.

Please, please.

One simple test,
Your Excellency...

will assure you
of its authenticity.

Now. A normal Pine Tree
Shilling is made from silver.

It is soft and malleable.

But this one...

The metal cannot be
bent, twisted or cut.

It is harder than a diamond.

It can withstand a
temperature of 7000 degrees.

It impervious to
any kind of damage.

It was cast from the top-secret
alloy known as G739...

the metal used in the nose cones
of the American long-range missiles.

And, Excellency...

you may subject it to any
type of test before payment.

Any type of test
that you desire.

It was conceived...

in the utmost secrecy.

Bernie. Oh, Bernie. Aah!

Unless you can explain, you
know what we do with traitors.

No one will move.

Keep still. Everyone.

- Apricot.
- Be quiet.

There's a stranger in this room.

The same clothes, the
same voice, but a stranger.

Kipchak.

Kipchak was arrested at the
airport 20 minutes after he landed.

Tie him. Bring me your knife.
- No.

In another room.

You have no idea how
uncomfortable all this is.

Well, we won't be needing
this anymore, will we?

Bring them to The Smiling Fish.

The three of them.

The rest of you will wait
here. We will return shortly.

And we will have that
coin, I promise you.

- You sound very confident.
- Yes, I am very confident.

One of these three will tell
us everything we want to know.

Move.

- Hmm?
- Move.

- Little fun and games here, huh, sergeant?
- Games, perhaps.

But fun, that depends
on which side you're on.

By the by, which
side are you on?

I think your department
has been alerted discreetly...

to my organization's
interest in this place?

U.N.C.L.E. Ha-ha. Yes, quite.

- I'm Sergeant Fauntleroy. Mr...?
- Solo. You're going into this place?

Yes.

A friend of ours needs help.

Really? Well, friend of mine too,
maybe. Um... Who called you?

So sorry, sir. That's
privileged information.

I see.

Well, may I at least join you?

Delighted to have you.
Positively delighted.

Think, Bernie. There must be something.
Something you saw. Something you heard.

Nothing. Just a Pine Tree
Shilling and a dragonfly.

Done.

Now, one of you will
tell me where that coin is.

That woman's life
is in your hands.

I know you won't believe it,
but I honestly wish that I could.

You know what to do.

Apricot.

Where would you hide a coin?
You'd spend it, wouldn't you?

Well, I do know
where it is. I'll tell you.

Then tell me.

I'll make a bargain with you.
Let these two go. Keep me.

I'll tell you.

Promise.

- No.
- Then, no deal.

Well, really.

Same old story.

I thought someone else was here.

Oh, someone else was here.

And I wonder where they went.

And I wonder which one of
you is going to enlighten us.

I refuse to talk in
this debased posture.

- You know where the coin is?
- I do.

I'll give you 10 seconds
to tell me where the coin is.

And in 10 seconds,
she will be shot.

You've gone to an awful lot of
trouble for nothing, you know.

Nothing?

Max Wenzel crossed to this
bar in a sampan, didn't he?

You know he did.

And he told the
sampan woman to wait.

He also gave the sampan
woman a handful of coins...

which the sampan
woman put into her purse.

That sampan woman
was you, Apricot.

The dragonfly that Max referred to
is the dragonfly design on your purse.

- Now.
- Apricot.

Are you all right, lieutenant?

Bernie. Oh, Bernie.

Lieutenant? Hey, you didn't
tell me anything about...

I am sorry. But I
am a lieutenant.

With the Hong Kong
Special Service Squad.

Lieutenant, you don't really
want the purse now, do you?

Not really.

Let Sergeant Fauntleroy
round up the prisoners.

With pleasure. Sergeant?

Gee, a lieutenant.

Is there anything else
we can do for you?

A souvenir of Hong Kong.
Take it home to your family.

That boy just never stops
looking for trouble, does he?

Well, he's safe now.

In the arms of the law.
