Oh, we have a sliding scale,

According to the importance of the victim.

Quality is always worth paying for.

We have very high overheads, you know?

Since taking over, I have tried

To completely modernize our methods.

This, after all, is the age of science.

Take, for instance, this little bomb.

We've just issued it to all our branches.

It can be timed to go off at any hour one chooses.

We've never met, yet you want my life. Why?

I do.

Why?

I do.

Because of my organization?

I do.

Because you believe "kill me, kill my bureau."

I do.

Is that it? Is that it?!

I do.

What an absolutely marvelous idea.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Ah, but it does. It intrigues me too.

It was not intended to amuse you.

It will let me put my aging colleagues on their mettle.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Wonderful.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Since you'll enjoy it so much,

it was not intended to amuse you.

Perhaps you'd give me a bargain price?

It was not intended to amuse you.

Ah, there's one matter upon which my board never compromise,

it was not intended to amuse you.

On finance.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Without self-flattery, I'm afraid, you'll never afford me.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Name your price.

It was not intended to amuse you.

Well, I'm not my father, of course,

Good evening, gentlemen. All: Good evening.

You do?

Popescu, good job in Zagreb. Thank you.

You do?

Gentlemen.

You do?

General Von Pinck. Military life certainly keeps you fit, Sir.

You do?

Lucoville, welcome to London. You too, my dear Weiss.

You do?

Ah, Cesare, you're putting on weight.

You do?

Food is the greatest pleasure in my life.

You do?

Greatest? They tell me your wife

You do?

And now, gentlemen, to business, please.

You do?

Ivan: It is fortunate that you're all in London for this meeting.

Something has come up which has...

How shall I put it?

Crystallized thoughts I've had for some time past.

Look around you at the great deeds

Recorded on these walls, gentlemen,

Each one of them performed in the course

Of bettering the world,

Purging it of evil,

Striking down tyranny.

In those days, you were all ruled

By my father's basic principle that our bureau

Would never kill anyone

Without a sound moral reason for doing so.

He was a saintly man.

Do you still adhere to his principles?

Consider a moment. Be honest with yourselves.

Haven't we, in the pursuit of profit,

Fallen short of the high moral standards

Upon which our bureau was founded?

It's always possible to find a good moral reason

For killing anybody.

Everybody, from some point of view, deserves death.

Man is born to die.

No operation that consistently shows a profit

Can do so without answering a legitimate demand.

Say that we are justified by the prosperity

Our operations have brought us all.

You, Lucoville, with your string of hotels.

You, general, with your estates and castles.

You, Weiss, with your Swiss banking syndicates,

And you Spado, with your fake antiques. And you...

Oh, dear, we seem to have started our meeting

without our vice chairman.

Oh, dear, we seem to have started our meeting

Your chairman.

Lord bostwick, my apologies. We started without you.

Lord bostwick, my apologies. We started without you.

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

Under our constitution we each have the right

miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

To accept commissions on behalf of all.

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

I have accepted this one.

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

But what does it mean?

Miss winter has put into my hands the very weapon I need.

It means, my friends,

that you must kill me,

it means, my friends,

or I will kill you.

It means, my friends,

kill us?

Yes, gentlemen, kill you.

Not to put too fine a point on it,

yes, gentlemen, kill you.

I consider you all expendable.

Yes, gentlemen, kill you.

Taking the honorable course, I challenge you to this duel.

Yes, gentlemen, kill you.

Yes, but supposing, my dear young friend,

yes, gentlemen, kill you.

That we succeed in killing you?

Yes, gentlemen, kill you.

Then you, lord bostwick,

Whom I hereby appoint as neutral referee

In this most purifying game, will, as vice chairman,

Gentlemen, 24 hours from the striking of this gavel,

we shall be at hazard.

Gentlemen, 24 hours from the striking of this gavel,

from tomorrow then, at precisely 7:30 P.M.

Gentlemen, 24 hours from the striking of this gavel,

Hardly the act of a gentleman.

But one should always applaud initiative.

Hardly the act of a gentleman.

Good night to you, gentlemen, and good luck.

Whatever happens to him. Splendid.

About all of his movements.

But I suppose you don't know where he'll go.

Now, to where shall we buy you a ticket?

You have been warned to look out for a certain man.

Good evening, monsieur Lucoville.

I have his picture here.

Good evening, monsieur Lucoville.

He will not pass. Excellent.

Good evening, monsieur Lucoville.

I am informed that one may find here

the most suitable arrangements for the night.

I am informed that one may find here

Monsieur Le Comte De...

I am informed that one may find here

certainly, your excellency.

I am informed that one may find here

we shall arrange for you something special.

I am informed that one may find here

good evening.

Just one moment.

My dear count, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house.

Well, madame, I am incognito. But of course.

My dear count, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house.

You will be one of our best-known unknown visitors.

My dear count, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house.

This way.

My dear count, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house.

Phillippe, champagne in the swan room at once.

My dear count, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

and this one has the most frightful

absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

hangdog look about her.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

and as for this one,

absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

I seem to remember her at least five years ago in Le sphinx.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

I demand something different, something fresh.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

but your excellency has seen

absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

the most beautiful girls in the house!

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

damn it! Damn it! I demand to see the director.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

but he does not concern himself with the customers, excellency.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

he will concern himself with me, madame.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

you tell monsieur Lucoville to come here now!

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

and get these miserable creatures out of here!

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

of course, excellency. Spank to your pleasure,

absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

your excellency, your honor.

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

oh! Allez, Vite!

Absolutely hopeless. This one has knock-knees

good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

Lord bostwick? Yes, he's a very old customer.

Good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

He knows we like to cater for the English taste.

Good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

Nothing I can do will please the gentleman.

Good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

Nothing you can do. I don't wonder.

Good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

Let someone else try.

Good evening. I was recommended to you by lord bostwick.

Surely this is a place of assignation?

It is certainly not a convent.

Surely this is a place of assignation?

Just stay here. I'll tell madame.

Surely this is a place of assignation?

How very interesting.

Surely this is a place of assignation?

I must make some notes.

The count wants something different.

I must make some notes.

Excuse me. There is a new girl.

I must make some notes.

No, not now.

I must make some notes.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

But she looks completely innocent.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

Yes, exactly.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

I am the patron, mademoiselle.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

How do you do?

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

Come this way, please.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

I wonder if I might ask you one or two questions.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

Don't worry, Chérie,

that's the most exciting creature in the place!

He doesn't want anyone experienced.

That's the most exciting creature in the place!

Entrez.

Your excellency, it is an honor to meet you.

I have found you something entirely fresh.

Your excellency, it is an honor to meet you.

What delightful surprises you have up your sleeve, patron.

Your excellency, it is an honor to meet you.

In there. In there.

Your excellency, it is an honor to meet you.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

how shall I say...

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

special.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

special, yes. The room is to your satisfaction, excellency?

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

they have sent you champagne.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

it's on the house, of course.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

oui, oui, oui, oui.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

where is that girl?

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

where are you?

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

tell me. Are all the rooms decorated in this fashion?

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

what are you doing, girl?

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

the count doesn't want to be kept waiting.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

get your clothes off.

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

For the exceptional customer, there is always something...

dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

I am unarmed.

Dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

Of course.

Dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

You see, you're slack as well as degenerate.

Dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

I really must apologize...

Dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

It's you.

Dear, dear chairman, is this fair?

Pierre. Gaston. In there.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

I thought it was a hotel. Lucoville: Break down the door.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

Let's get out of the window. You stay here.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

You can't leave me in a place like this.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

Your bed, miss winter. You lie on it.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

Lucoville: Shoot off the lock.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

All right. Come on.

Let's cut through here.

Let's cut through here.

No, perhaps not.

Let's cut through here.

Let's cut through here.

Let's cut through here.

It's a raid. It's a raid. It's a raid.

Let's cut through here.

My God, it's a raid! A raid, patron.

Let's cut through here.

Don't panic, gentlemen!

Let's cut through here.

Client: What's the meaning of this intrusion?

Let's cut through here.

A madman has seized one of my girls against her will.

Let's cut through here.

Impossible. Lucoville: Carry on, gentlemen!

Let's cut through here.

The emergency will soon be over.

Let's cut through here.

Jacques, champagne on the house for our guests!

Let's cut through here.

Search the whole place!

Oh, Mallon, my dear fellow,

how nice to see you. Au revoir.

Oh, Mallon, my dear fellow,

we must go in somewhere.

I begin to suspect you're protecting my virtue.

I'm afraid it will now have to look after itself.

I begin to suspect you're protecting my virtue.

You're too beautiful, Chérie.

I dare not look at you.

You're too beautiful, Chérie.

No! No! I can wait no longer!

You're too beautiful, Chérie.

You're too beautiful, Chérie.

Quick! The stairs.

No! Don't shoot the customers!

No! Don't shoot the customers!

In there, patron.

Now we have him trapped. Shoot the lock.

In there, patron.

It's no use, patron. He's bolted the door.

In there, patron.

In there, patron.

Very well. We'll smoke him out.

You've got us into a pretty pickle.

I have?

You've got us into a pretty pickle.

You're not here at my invitation.

You've got us into a pretty pickle.

Well, how do we get out?

You've got us into a pretty pickle.

All problems are capable of solution.

You've got us into a pretty pickle.

Keep your guns ready.

Keep your guns ready.

Gas.

A laundry chute.

I told you there's always a solution.

A laundry chute.

It is exceedingly small.

A laundry chute.

Fortunately, I am not too fat,

a laundry chute.

And you are positively skinny.

A laundry chute.

Skinny. Come along.

A laundry chute.

We've got a little while. Get on the floor, please, miss winter.

A laundry chute.

I beg your pardon! Gas.

A laundry chute.

It's lighter than air, you see.

A laundry chute.

It will fill the room from the ceiling...

A laundry chute.

Downwards.

A laundry chute.

It won't take long. Long enough.

A laundry chute.

By the way, this commodious bag of yours

a laundry chute.

Wouldn't by any chance contain such a thing

a laundry chute.

As a first-aid kit, would it?

A laundry chute.

Do not arrest anyone wearing the Légion D'honneur!

Surely you do not wish to harm

do not arrest anyone wearing the Légion D'honneur!

That innocent young lady.

Do not arrest anyone wearing the Légion D'honneur!

Come out and face the music.

Do not arrest anyone wearing the Légion D'honneur!

When they burst the door open,

they'll strike these matches alight.

When they burst the door open,

the room will become a bomb.

When they burst the door open,

now, miss winter... yes.

I thought I told you to keep close to the floor!

Now, miss winter... yes.

Yes, I will...

Miss winter?

Yes, I will...

Monsieur inspector, we have nothing to hide.

Yes, I will...

I assure you that this is a perfectly respectable hotel.

Yes, I will...

En avant!

Lucoville: Now, open the door, Ivan.

We might even make a bargain.

If I was to become vice chairman...

We might even make a bargain.

We might even make a bargain.

He's drawing the bolts!

I knew you'd see reason, Ivan.

He's drawing the bolts!

I can't manage the lock.

He's drawing the bolts!

It's... it's the gas! The gas!

We'll have to break in.

It's... it's the gas! The gas!

Quick, quick! Break open the door!

It's... it's the gas! The gas!

No, no, no! Out of the way!

I always say, if you want something done,

no, no, no! Out of the way!

You've got to do it yourself.

No, no, no! Out of the way!

Stand back! Champagne on the house!

No, no, no! Out of the way!

Come on, you. No use hiding in here.

Been at the bottle, have you?

Come on, you. No use hiding in here.

Put her in the wagon with the others.

Come on, you. No use hiding in here.

Come on, you. No use hiding in here.

Come on, you. No use hiding in here.

Let me go, please! Let me go!

I am a British citizen!

I demand to see the British ambassador!

Good morning. Good God.

May I come in?

Thanks to those ridiculous policemen,

I nearly missed the train.

I thought I'd given you the slip.

Thank you, it was most considerate.

There was a first-class ticket to Zurich in the pocket.

An oversight.

Miss winter, our rules do not allow our clients to supervise

The execution of their commissions.

Oh, I'm not doing that.

I'm just covering the story in the course of my profession.

Our records didn't disclose you were a journalist.

Well, this is my first assignment.

May I ask, for which newspaper you are writing?

For the daily...

For the daily press, at large.

Women are not yet accepted in the journalistic profession.

But when I have this story, anyone will employ me.

It will strike a great blow for women.

Well, miss winter...

If anybody is to write the story of this epic adventure,

It is only right that it should be you.

Oh, thank you.

And since you're to be my constant shadow,

I suppose I'd better feed you.

Shall we adjourn to the dining car for luncheon?

But how can I accept your point of view?

To take life is the ultimate wrong.

But how can I accept your point of view?

It's basic to all civilized ethics.

But how can I accept your point of view?

Really, miss winters.

But how can I accept your point of view?

You accept, I suppose, the gallows,

but how can I accept your point of view?

The guillotine and the gas chamber.

But how can I accept your point of view?

And not to mention the field of battle.

But how can I accept your point of view?

Brandy?

No, thank you. I never touch spirits.

Brandy?

Pity. Taken in moderation,

Brandy?

It can greatly clarify the mind.

Brandy?

Thank you. My mind is perfectly clear

Brandy?

On one topic that concerns us:

Brandy?

All killing is wrong.

Brandy?

And yet you commissioned mine.

Brandy?

That was quite different.

Brandy?

You don't go into a butcher to buy a steak

Brandy?

And question his morality in killing the cow.

Brandy?

Really, you're impossible. I shall return to my carriage.

Brandy?

Shall I accompany you? No, thank you.

Brandy?

I'm sure you are the one in need of the Brandy.

Brandy?

Cognac, monsieur? Please.

Thank you.

Cognac, monsieur? Please.

Excellent, an '88. Anything further, sir?

Cognac, monsieur? Please.

Just a cigar, thank you. A cigar.

Cognac, monsieur? Please.

That'll be all, thank you.

Not quite all, Ivan.

That'll be all, thank you.

Popescu?

What a marvelous makeup.

You know, these new Leichner Waxes are fantastic!

What a marvelous makeup.

Thank you, Ivan.

What a marvelous makeup.

And now there is much sadness in the world,

what a marvelous makeup.

And there must be a little more.

What a marvelous makeup.

Won't you at least permit me to finish my Brandy and cigar?

What a marvelous makeup.

The drink certainly, the cigar will take too long.

What a marvelous makeup.

The kitchen staff won't stay locked in the galley forever.

What a marvelous makeup.

While you were enjoying yourself in Paris, Ivan,

what a marvelous makeup.

I was preparing this operation.

What a marvelous makeup.

You will admit it has the merit of surprise.

What a marvelous makeup.

What's this?

"Popescu... Romanian businessman...

What's this?

"Falls from Paris-Zurich express." Et cetera...

What's this?

"Burns on body"?

What's this?

What did that young devil do to him?

What's this?

The toast is absent friends.

What's this?

Lucoville was a fool.

What's this?

Any business with women is bad business.

What's this?

But popescu will be a great loss.

What's this?

Does your agent report where our chairman is now?

What's this?

Not yet. But she is a very able young woman,

what's this?

And I'm sure that we shall hear something quite soon.

What's this?

That idiot in Liechtenstein!

His talent lay in company fraud.

That idiot in Liechtenstein!

Certainly not in handling explosives.

That idiot in Liechtenstein!

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

I want this matter finished quickly.

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

Political tension is growing in Europe.

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

The bureau is the instrument I need.

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

Weiss understands the value of money.

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

I'm sure we can rely on Swiss efficiency in Zurich.

Things are not going well, Muntzov.

Suspect everyone!

Do you understand? Everyone.

Suspect everyone!

The man is a master of disguises.

Suspect everyone!

Better to be safe than sorry.

Suspect everyone!

If we spot him, what do we do? I told you.

Ring the bell to my office. But on no account

if we spot him, what do we do? I told you.

Wink an eyelid even.

If we spot him, what do we do? I told you.

Otherwise, you are a dead man.

If we spot him, what do we do? I told you.

Right. Go to your places, everyone!

Open the doors!

Is this where they keep the money?

Well, yes, Mein Herr.

Is this where they keep the money?

What...? What did you require?

Is this where they keep the money?

The mountains are full of thieves. Nothing is safe.

Is this where they keep the money?

Bad luck, Ivan!

You don't fool me with this, my boy.

Bad luck, Ivan!

In Switzerland we are efficient, yes?

Bad luck, Ivan!

What are you doing? My box! Take care of my box!

Bad luck, Ivan!

The box.

Of course. The box.

The box.

Throw it out into the street. What?

The box.

Throw it out before it goes off.

The box.

The game is up, Ivan.

The box.

Come back! Come back! My box! My savings!

The box.

Stop it, Ivan.

The box.

The game is up.

The box.

Whoa.

I never know if I can trust you.

My dear, you know I might be recognized anywhere.

I never know if I can trust you.

Simply hand it in for the attention of the director.

I never know if I can trust you.

That's all. Very well.

I never know if I can trust you.

You're a villain. I beg you...

Thief! Give me my money.

You're a villain. I beg you...

Old man: They told me you would look after my money.

You're a villain. I beg you...

And what do you do? You throw it in the gutter!

You're a villain. I beg you...

I want my money! Give it to me!

You're a villain. I beg you...

Excuse me.

You're a villain. I beg you...

Yes, mademoiselle.

I have something for the director.

Yes, mademoiselle.

What? What? What? What is it?

Well, she has something for the director.

What? What? What? What is it?

Half-wit. Idiot!

My apologies, mademoiselle.

Take it, man. Put it in my office!

My apologies, mademoiselle.

Thump: A terrible misunderstanding, Mein Herr.

Get away!

What are you all standing here for? Get back to work!

All of you! Get back to work.

What are you all standing here for? Get back to work!

What exactly was in that case?

Oh, purely technical details.

What exactly was in that case?

They belong to our research department.

What exactly was in that case?

We have some very brilliant scientists working for us.

What exactly was in that case?

When they make some little discovery,

what exactly was in that case?

They like to deposit their secrets in a safe place.

What exactly was in that case?

What exactly was in that case?

I think they'll be pleased with the result.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

Congratulations, Herr general.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

Congratulate the lieutenant.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

It is not a disgrace to be beaten

there is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

By the ex-champion of all Germany.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

You will bear the scars of your general's saber.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

Carry them with honor, lieutenant.

There is no one in the army to match you, Herr general.

What is the army coming to?

Take him away and stitch him up!

What is the army coming to?

A visitor, Herr general.

What is the army coming to?

Lord bostwick.

What is the army coming to?

Ah, general, I'm glad you're keeping your hand in.

What is the army coming to?

I'm on my way from Essen. Alfred Krupp sends his regards.

What is the army coming to?

Can we talk privately? Leave us.

What is the army coming to?

You've heard the news from Zurich?

What is the army coming to?

So much for the efficient Swiss.

What is the army coming to?

Ja, ja. Always one must be alert.

What is the army coming to?

And to be alert, you must be fit.

What is the army coming to?

En Garde!

What is the army coming to?

What is the army coming to?

Absent friends.

For heaven's sake, stop it, Muntzov!

Absent friends.

I've a good mind to send you back to Petrograd.

Absent friends.

No, no, we don't want to risk any more of us.

Absent friends.

Well, this fooling has got to stop.

Absent friends.

What good is the bureau to me with its best members gone?

Absent friends.

The cream still remains.

Absent friends.

Prove it, general, in Vienna.

Absent friends.

Our young chairman is on his way there now.

Absent friends.

We have no one in Vienna. Send someone.

Absent friends.

It will be arranged.

To poor Ivan.

Drunken idiot. Young Dragomiloff is worth ten of you.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

His whole romantic notion on moral killing is out-of-date.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

If only he could realize that our organization

what a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

Is the most lethal instrument of power ever conceived.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

The assassination bureau is a political weapon

what a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

Or it is nothing.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

Properly used, as I can use it,

what a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

It could bring down governments, dynasties and empires.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

I could rule the destiny of Europe.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

Great things are afoot.

What a tragedy that he lacks the vision to go along with me.

Sell everything you possess, my friends,

and buy shares in armaments.

Sell everything you possess, my friends,

Krupp, Skoda, Vickers-Armstrong. Take your pick.

Sell everything you possess, my friends,

Europe is already in ferment!

Sell everything you possess, my friends,

Sell everything you possess, my friends,

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

You evidently sleep well in Vienna.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

A luxury I appreciate.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Our bureau hasn't a branch here.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

A day off is a pleasant prospect.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Are you impressed with the emperor's forces? Thank you.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

How ridiculous men are.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

All this dressing up and rattling of sabers.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Who's that barbarous gentleman taking the salute?

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Prince Ferdinand of Ruthenia. He's Austria's Balkan puppet.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

He's here in Vienna to be impressed

good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

By his master's military might.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

When will we learn that force is meaningless?

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Never. After all, you're paying to have me killed

good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Because you believe that you are right and I am wrong.

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

It's nothing personal. It's just that...

Good morning, miss winter. Good morning.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Die, Ruthenian dogs, long live Carpathia!

Long live Carpathia!

Die, Ruthenian dogs, long live Carpathia!

Thank you, miss winter.

I... I thought...

Thank you, miss winter.

That the bullet was meant for me.

Thank you, miss winter.

Unfortunately, I have no monopoly

thank you, miss winter.

In the assassination business.

Thank you, miss winter.

Now, I insist that you have a Brandy.

Thank you, miss winter.

No, thank you, I...

thank you, miss winter.

Well, you can't deny that your mind needs clarifying.

Thank you, miss winter.

You're paying to have me killed,

thank you, miss winter.

Yet when you think I might be, you try to save my life.

Thank you, miss winter.

A revelation comparable with Saint Paul's at tarsus.

Thank you, miss winter.

Well, surely that calls for a celebration.

Thank you, miss winter.

Thank you, miss winter.

Thank you, miss winter.

I'm quite out of breath.

You're a very good dancer. Of course.

I'm quite out of breath.

My father liked me to excel...

I'm quite out of breath.

In everything.

I'm quite out of breath.

Your father. You know something,

I'm quite out of breath.

I don't think you've ever really grown up.

I'm quite out of breath.

I was born old. Well, maybe that's the trouble.

I'm quite out of breath.

Now, while we're in Vienna,

I'm quite out of breath.

There's a certain Professor Freud...

I'm quite out of breath.

Don't mention that name.

I'm quite out of breath.

To meddle with my basic instincts

I'm quite out of breath.

Would be professional suicide.

I'm quite out of breath.

That's what I had in mind.

I'm quite out of breath.

I like it here. Good.

You wait till you taste the blutwurst.

I like it here. Good.

Where's that waiter got to?

I like it here. Good.

Get me his apron.

Put the bomb inside the sausage.

Get me his apron.

Quickly, man, and be careful. Mind the knife!

Get me his apron.

The slightest touch of metal will set it off.

Get me his apron.

You're acting completely like a lunatic!

It was just warming up in there.

You're acting completely like a lunatic!

You're acting completely like a lunatic!

Evidently.

You're acting completely like a lunatic!

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

Waste no tears on him.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

A petty tyrant, if ever there was one.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

An historic event, never the less.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

You should make an excellent journalist.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

You're always on the spot.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

But that bomb was meant for you.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

Precisely.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

I thought you said the bureau had no one here in Vienna.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

They sent someone.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

I wonder how they knew I was here.

That poor man. Archduke Ferdie?

Perhaps you've been followed.

Indeed. I have, my dear. By you.

Perhaps you've been followed.

Me?

Perhaps you've been followed.

At Lord Bostwick's command, no doubt.

Perhaps you've been followed.

How did you know? He said not to say...

perhaps you've been followed.

I presume he also failed to tell you

perhaps you've been followed.

That he was vice chairman of our bureau.

Perhaps you've been followed.

Lord bostwick?

Perhaps you've been followed.

I can't believe it.

Oh, a man of many parts.

I can't believe it.

He's a villain.

I can't believe it.

Well, he'll hear no more from you.

I can't believe it.

On the contrary. I intend to keep him fully informed.

I can't believe it.

You what?

I can't believe it.

I want to know exactly why he wants control of the bureau.

I can't believe it.

I shall wire him at once you're on your way to Venice.

I can't believe it.

Bostwick: My dear man, can't you make any more of it than this?

I can't believe it.

There's nothing but facts!

I can't believe it.

We don't want to inflame a delicate situation.

I can't believe it.

Ruthenia and Carpathia are mere puppets!

I can't believe it.

Russia and Austria pull the strings.

I can't believe it.

So punch in some big headlines:

I can't believe it.

"Russia warns Austria"! "Austria warns Russia"!

I can't believe it.

"The kaiser summons his general staff"!

I can't believe it.

Your lordship, of course, has private sources of information?

I can't believe it.

Of course. So get on with it, man.

I can't believe it.

We're running a newspaper. Give them news!

I can't believe it.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

Ferdinand's death is the spark I needed. Cheer up now.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

To a Russian, death is a serious matter.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

Life is no joke, either.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

But time is running out.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

I've got my new members picked.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

But I need the bureau in my hands now.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

We must make sure once and for all in Venice.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

Thank heaven for Cesare Spado.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

He has all the skill of the Borgias.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

All my friends in London tell me

this is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

I'm getting a little fat.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

I can't resist.

This is a stroke of luck, Muntzov.

My dearest one! You haven't put Vanilla in the Zabaglione!

You know how I dislike it!

My dearest one! You haven't put vanilla in the Zabaglione!

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

I prepared it myself.

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

There's not a drop of vanilla in it.

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

I can taste it distinctly.

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

There is positively no vanilla in the Zabaglione.

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

Taste it again.

Nonsense, Cesare. Just peel of tangerine.

Perhaps you're right.

Eat it up now or I shall be very offended.

Perhaps you're right.

I will not speak to you.

Perhaps you're right.

Or let you...

Perhaps you're right.

No, no, no. Eleanora, my angel...

It's delicious.

I tell everyone your cooking is supreme.

It's delicious.

The taste has quite disappeared.

It's delicious.

You've outdone yourself, my darling.

It's delicious.

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

with whom I have some business connections

eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

may call at the house

eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

I would prefer not to see him. As you wish.

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

his name is Dragomiloff,

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

but he may not declare himself.

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

I would like you to describe carefully anyone who may call.

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

what a dreadful fuss.

Eleanora, my dear, it's just possible that a man

this is our finest view,

the room signor Dragomiloff always prefers, signora.

This is our finest view,

you will see the sun rise up behind

this is our finest view,

the Santa Maria Della salute.

This is our finest view,

it is a sight never to be forgotten.

This is our finest view,

a little misunderstanding, I'm afraid.

This is our finest view,

I am not a signora and shall therefore

this is our finest view,

require a separate room.

This is our finest view,

Scusi, signorina. What a pity.

This is our finest view,

I hope you have another equally delightful room.

This is our finest view,

the room, yes, signor. The view, no.

This is our finest view,

I have only a room at the back.

This is our finest view,

then the signorina must have this room.

This is our finest view,

oh, no. No, I insist.

This is our finest view,

take my luggage to whatever room. I'll see you later.

This is our finest view,

it is a very delightful room, signor.

This is our finest view,

I assure, you will be most comfortable.

This is our finest view,

I'm sure I will. Thank you very much indeed.

This is our finest view,

well, it seems we have a married look.

This is our finest view,

because you're after my blood, no doubt.

Don't talk nonsense. We've got no time to waste.

Because you're after my blood, no doubt.

What on earth are you doing? One can't be too careful.

My dear friend Spado might have left me a welcoming present.

What on earth are you doing? One can't be too careful.

What on earth are you doing? One can't be too careful.

That's all clear. Bombs aren't the Italian line.

What on earth are you doing? One can't be too careful.

They prefer more subtle methods.

What on earth are you doing? One can't be too careful.

Well, the sooner you talk to him the better.

Isn't it time you left?

Well, the sooner you talk to him the better.

Miss winter.

Well, the sooner you talk to him the better.

Since our relationship became less formal,

I observe a tendency on your part to nag.

Since our relationship became less formal,

sometimes you can be very irritating.

Since our relationship became less formal,

I have been told that.

Since our relationship became less formal,

now, you stay in this room until I return, understand?

Since our relationship became less formal,

absolutely no one is allowed in.

Since our relationship became less formal,

if you wish to sleep, lock the windows.

Since our relationship became less formal,

the balcony's an easy climb.

Since our relationship became less formal,

and just to be on the safe side,

since our relationship became less formal,

I will lock you in and keep the key.

Since our relationship became less formal,

but this is absurd. If your man, Spado, is so dangerous,

since our relationship became less formal,

how can you hope to win him over to our plan?

Since our relationship became less formal,

Cesare and my father were very close.

Since our relationship became less formal,

I doubt whether he'd gone the way of the others

since our relationship became less formal,

had it not been for such a demanding wife.

Since our relationship became less formal,

as usual, the woman gets the blame.

Since our relationship became less formal,

not without good cause, I gather.

Since our relationship became less formal,

I'm told that signora Spado has considerable charms

since our relationship became less formal,

and doesn't hesitate to use them.

Since our relationship became less formal,

she hasn't your high principles.

Your self-denial is really quite remarkable.

She hasn't your high principles.

A woman's beauty can be a lethal weapon.

She hasn't your high principles.

Oh! My God.

My darling, what can it be?

Oh! My God.

Is it something you have eaten?

Oh! My God.

It's working.

Oh! My God.

The poison, it's doing its work.

Oh! My God.

Poison?

What are you saying, Cesare?

Poison?

How could he have managed it?

Poison?

He? Who are you talking of, my darling?

Poison?

The son of my old friend and comrade.

Poison?

I had arranged his death, but he has got me first.

Poison?

Cesare, you're delirious.

Poison?

There is so much I must tell you.

Poison?

Lie still. Angelo has gone for a doctor.

Poison?

You must hear it all.

This business I am in with this man Dragomiloff,

you must hear it all.

It is called...

You must hear it all.

The assassination bureau.

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

for this man Dragomiloff's death?

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

pieces of silver. Pieces of silver.

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

many pieces.

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

can you forgive me?

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

it was for you that I did these dreadful things.

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

but you are so tender, so innocent.

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

what can you know of assassination?

This Englishman lord will pay 10,000 pounds

Ivan Dragomiloff.

Signor Dragomiloff.

I've heard him talk so often about you.

Signor Dragomiloff.

I feel we are old friends.

Signor Dragomiloff.

Me too.

Signor Dragomiloff.

I have heard much about you.

Signor Dragomiloff.

Cesare is a... A lucky man.

Signor Dragomiloff.

May I ask you where he has gone?

Signor Dragomiloff.

I don't know.

Signor Dragomiloff.

He's just, well, floating around.

Signor Dragomiloff.

Since you are alone, my presence might compromise you.

Signor Dragomiloff.

Perhaps I should go.

Signor Dragomiloff.

No, no. We'll have a glass of wine.

Signor Dragomiloff.

Do sit down. Thank you.

Signor Dragomiloff.

How much do you know about his business?

Oh, nothing.

How much do you know about his business?

Well, then, you'll hardly be able to make up

how much do you know about his business?

For his absence, will you?

How much do you know about his business?

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Will you think me very wicked

if I confess to being pleased that cesare is away?

Will you think me very wicked

I would think you very flattering.

Will you think me very wicked

but surely that's not the reason why you made away with him.

Will you think me very wicked

I what?!

Will you think me very wicked

oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

Will you think me very wicked

how dare you accuse me of such a thing!

Will you think me very wicked

please, let's not have any melodramatics.

Will you think me very wicked

I saw your handsome gondolier dispose of the body.

Will you think me very wicked

now please sit down.

Will you think me very wicked

perhaps we can come to some arrangement.

Will you think me very wicked

one moment. Angelo, I must deal with him.

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

Long time, short time, what is the difference?

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

Don't be a fool.

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

He knows. He saw you. He could destroy us.

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

Then I will fix him. I will.

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

My way.

You have a man in... shh-shh. Not for long.

Go and prepare the gondola, then wait there.

I will ring when it is done. It will be quick this time.

Go and prepare the gondola, then wait there.

You can't prove your ridiculous accusation.

I hope I won't have to.

You can't prove your ridiculous accusation.

We have plenty of time to talk it over.

You can't prove your ridiculous accusation.

Then let's have another glass of wine.

You can't prove your ridiculous accusation.

Please, close the window. The night has grown chilly.

You can't prove your ridiculous accusation.

Even if what you say was true,

wouldn't I have been merely doing your job for you?

Even if what you say was true,

I thought you said

you knew nothing about your husband's business.

I thought you said

perhaps it is now my business.

I thought you said

I thought you said

I'm sure that you'll handle it very capably.

Thank you.

I'm sure that you'll handle it very capably.

Please draw the curtains.

It appears we understand each other very well.

Sit down, please. Thank you.

It appears we understand each other very well.

I told you I could take my husband's place.

It appears we understand each other very well.

What a delightful little table, like a wheel of fortune.

It appears we understand each other very well.

Our fortunes, it seems,

it appears we understand each other very well.

It appears we understand each other very well.

Shall we drink to that? I...

What on earth are you doing in that ridiculous costume?

Oh. I forgot.

I regret to have to inform you

That Ivan Dragomiloff is now dead.

What?

Yes, events took an unexpected turn.

However, the first part of our plot has now been achieved.

You mean they think you're dead? Precisely.

I shall now have to disappear into hiding.

And the rest, miss winter, is up to you.

Now, that's what I call a really pretty dress.

Miss winter.

Miss winter, surrender.

Why not?

Surrender is no defeat...

Why not?

For a woman.

Why not?

Why not?

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

He's been out all night.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

I'm desperately afraid he might have been run over.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

In Venice, signorina?

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

Well, fallen in a canal, anything.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

Please, you must help me. Of course, signorina.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

The name of your friend? Dragomiloff.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

Ivan dragomiloff.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

Sonya: My friend has not returned to the hotel.

Signorina, I am sorry.

I fear I have very bad news.

Signorina, I am sorry.

What?

Signorina, I am sorry.

What is it? Your friend.

Signorina, I am sorry.

There must have been an accident.

Signorina, I am sorry.

He has been drowned.

Signorina, I am sorry.

His body has been taken from the canal.

Signorina, I am sorry.

I'll be all right.

There were papers with his name.

I'll be all right.

But we would like you to identify the body,

I'll be all right.

If you are able.

I'll be all right.

Very well.

Please come this way, signorina.

Very well.

Very well.

It is...

He.

It is...

This way, signorina.

It... it... it is him.

Yes, we found papers on the body.

Was signor dragomiloff a good friend, signora?

He was the best friend my husband had.

We were very close.

We will save you any more pain, signora.

I would be very glad if he could be brought to my Palazzo.

It is not fitting that such a man should lie here.

I would be very glad if he could be brought to my Palazzo.

Whatever the signora desires.

We salvaged the gondola, signora.

Whatever the signora desires.

But alas, there is as yet no sign of the gondolier.

Whatever the signora desires.

Poor Angelo.

Miss winter?

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

My hearty congratulations. Lord bostwick.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

I came as soon as I received your telegram

miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Announcing Dragomiloff's death.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

May I introduce an associate of mine, baron Muntzov.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Well, my dear young lady,

miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

The press has once again shown itself

miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

To be the conscience of the nation.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Your story will be syndicated all over the world.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Come, we will go directly to Spado's house,

miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

And pay our respects to the dead.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

At Spado's house?

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

But his body is at the morgue.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

As I so often find,

miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

My information is more up-to-date than my reporters'.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Signora Spado's had the coffin taken to her Palazzo.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

My lord. My lord.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

I've just arrived from Berlin, the news is grave.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Dragomiloff has gone just in time.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Miss winter, may I introduce general Von Pinck.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Collect the luggage, Muntzov and bring miss winter with you.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

The general and I will go on ahead.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

We have important matters to discuss.

Miss winter, I hardly recognized you.

Von Pinck: There's mobilization. I must return tonight.

Will there be war?

Not yet, the kaiser's proposing a secret peace conference.

Will there be war?

Indeed.

Will there be war?

Yeah, he's traveling to Ruthenia for the funeral,

will there be war?

And that's where the conference will take place.

Will there be war?

They will all be there: The English king. Czar Nicholas.

Will there be war?

The president of France. The Austrian emperor. The...

will there be war?

Spare me this catalog of mediocrity.

Will there be war?

All this may suit me very well.

Will there be war?

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

My colleague, general Von Pinck.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

My husband is away. I had to act on his behalf.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

It's hard to believe that such a beautiful lady

signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Should succeed where so many men have failed.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

I fell we should invite you onto the board.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Thank you, lord bostwick.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

But I don't think it is suitable

signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

For an Italian lady to practice murder professionally.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

I will be content with the reward

signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

You have so kindly offered.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

And you shall have it, dear lady.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

So there he lies.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Poor Ivan.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

He was too young to see the potentialities

signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Of his great inheritance.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Requiescat in pace.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Ivan killed by a woman, that's droll.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

I believe Spado's house is quite beautiful.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

As with so many things, first impressions are the worst.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

Piero: This way, Signorina.

Signora Spado, my greetings and congratulations.

And so you see, my dear signora,

this young lady has served her purpose

and so you see, my dear signora,

and must be disposed of.

And so you see, my dear signora,

ah, miss winter, Muntzov has been monopolizing you.

And so you see, my dear signora,

signora Spado, this is miss winter,

and so you see, my dear signora,

whose commission you executed on behalf of your husband.

And so you see, my dear signora,

if you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

for your discussion.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

no, no, no. This will do splendidly.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

the presence of our ex-chairman

if you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

will be a spur to our deliberations.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

you openly admit you are a member of the bureau?

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

a member?

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

thanks to you and signora Spado, I am now the chairman.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

what a good journalist you would have made, miss winter.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

you're in at the death of the old bureau

if you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

and the birth of the new.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

unfortunately, you must also be its first victim.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and make a room ready

dispose of her, Muntzov.

It's time you did something useful.

Dispose of her, Muntzov.

This way.

Dispose of her, Muntzov.

Take her below. There are steps to the canal.

Don't make any false moves. I'm a dangerous man.

Take her below. There are steps to the canal.

Go to that wall, please, miss winter.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

We Slavs are so temperamental.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

Somehow, I don't feel like it at all today.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

So you're a coward as well as a murderer.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

I don't seem really to care for killing people anymore.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

Keep quite still, miss winter.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

It's best to make a clean job of it.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

If you would please face the wall, my dear.

Ivan.

What on earth?

I'm in mourning.

What on earth?

For your lost principles, I presume?

What on earth?

You look like you're got up to seduce an archbishop.

What on earth?

Don't you like it?

What on earth?

Oh, I'm turning in my grave.

What on earth?

Will you at least get rid of that preposterous hat.

What on earth?

How dare you!

That's better.

How dare you!

At any rate, you played your part admirably.

How dare you!

See what results the report of my death produced.

How dare you!

It nearly produced mine.

How dare you!

It's brought them here,

how dare you!

As I knew it would.

How dare you!

Now we must see whether I can learn more dead than alive.

How dare you!

But the coffin in the room upstairs, who's in it?

How dare you!

The man you identified as me, of course, her gondolier.

How dare you!

Bostwick: Muntzov! Come on.

How dare you!

Muntzov, where are you?

How dare you!

Where could that idiot have got to?

How dare you!

He'd be here.

How dare you!

The secret stairs from my apartments

how dare you!

Lead down to that landing.

How dare you!

A girl, even muntzov couldn't fail.

How dare you!

He evidently did.

And the girl's hat.

He evidently did.

If he killed her, then...

He evidently did.

Then who killed him?

He evidently did.

I want to see inside that coffin.

Oh, no.

I want to see inside that coffin.

And why not, signora? You're not squeamish, surely?

I want to see inside that coffin.

Take off the lid.

Please, lord bostwick don't disturb the dead.

Take off the lid.

Be silent.

Take off the lid.

Take off the lid.

Bostwick: Replace the lid.

My apologies, signora. You've done your job well.

Don't worry, signora. He can't get away.

My apologies, signora. You've done your job well.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

Where will your headquarters be?

General, I will return with you to Germany.

At my hunting lodge at Rothenburg.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

The peace conference will take place just across the frontier

general, I will return with you to Germany.

In the castle Minsk.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

Very convenient.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

I'll summon the bureau members to meet us at Rothenburg.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

But my staff will be there, my officers.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

Of course, and they'll be very useful.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

So goodbye, Ivan.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

You're going to miss our greatest assignment of all.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

At my commission, the assassination of Europe.

General, I will return with you to Germany.

They have come to take him away.

Make sure the screws are tight.

Make sure the screws are tight.

We'll have a glass of wine,

and then perhaps we can complete our business.

We'll have a glass of wine,

of course, the reward.

We'll have a glass of wine,

I suppose it was rather tactless of cesare

we'll have a glass of wine,

to tell me so much about your secret business.

We'll have a glass of wine,

who can quarrel with such an excellent result?

We'll have a glass of wine,

surely it is worth more than a mere 10,000 pounds?

We'll have a glass of wine,

of course. How much would you suggest?

We'll have a glass of wine,

naturally, you would not like your affairs made public.

We'll have a glass of wine,

shall we say 100,000?

We'll have a glass of wine,

oh, alas, signora, we are not a rich organization.

We'll have a glass of wine,

but you have such great plans

we'll have a glass of wine,

now that I have given you control.

We'll have a glass of wine,

surely that is worth special consideration?

We'll have a glass of wine,

indeed.

We'll have a glass of wine,

Von Pinck, see that signora Spado

we'll have a glass of wine,

gets the most special consideration we can offer.

We'll have a glass of wine,

Well done, miss winter. On the spot as usual.

Bostwick: Revolutionary idea, general, an aerial bomb.

History in the making. A frightening concept.

What's that fool up to?

What the devil are you doing there?

There's a naval officer on board.

Don't do it, Charles.

Indiscriminate destruction will engulf you too.

Don't do it, Charles.

One death or a million, where's the difference?

Don't do it, Charles.

We're surgeons, not butchers. We only kill to destroy evil.

Don't do it, Charles.

Hypocrite. You kill for money.

Don't do it, Charles.

Only those who deserve to die.

Don't do it, Charles.

We must judge before we kill.

Don't do it, Charles.

Judge? Young fool.

Don't do it, Charles.

You're not an assassin, you're a critic.

Don't do it, Charles.

Steady.

Don't do it, Charles.

Steady.
