It's Karin, he's just landed..

Of course.

- Mister Consul?
- Yes?

- A certain Al Monks wishes to see you.
- Tell him to come in.

You called for me?

We've received a message.
Two hours from now

you'll be meeting a representative of
the Nationalist Resistance.

Here are your instructions.

Our connections' safety
is in your hands, their lives are at stake.

You'll be joined by two other operatives.

No, I prefer to handle this affair alone.

As you wish.. Good luck.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are currently
flying over the city of Hong Kong.

Look...

- Isn't it marvelous?
- Yes, absolutely.

Still, I think you'd
fancy New York more,

with it's surpassing cityscape
and the Statue of Liberty.

Ladies and gentlemen, the plane
must make a brief stop at Hong Kong,

we apologize...

In America this would never happen, they're
probably picking up some big shot.

- I'm heading for runway six.
- Good, he's just landed.

- Mister Bill Howard?
- Yes.

Interpol, come with me please.

What? There must be some mistake.
I'm an ordinary businessman.

We can talk about your
business later. Please come with me.

Very well.
Is it okay if the lady disembarks also?

Surely, it makes no difference to me.

Let's go.

Take these passenger's luggage and
escort the young lady if you please.

The man comes with me.

Farewell darling,
wait for me at the Ritz.

May I know who I
have to thank for all this?

Your dear chief.

But I spoke to him from Saigon and he
said everything was in order...

...I was set to
take a month's vacation...

...Have any idea what made him
change his mind?

Here's the official report.

I'm well informed about it,
but I'm not here for that.

I need to know everything
you have on Al Monks,

particularly his business
activities in Hong Kong

and the last mission
he was assigned to.

Al Monks was nothing
more than a trade associate.

Listen, we've meticulously
recreated all his recent movements.

He spent last night as
usual with his American friends,

enjoying a game of bridge
with the embassy's secretary

until the game was
interrupted by a telephone

call which made him leave abruptly.

We have no means
of knowing who could have

made that call.
I'm afraid we can't help.

Understood, Consul.
The corpse is at the morgue.

Rest assured the body will be transported
to the United States as soon as possible.

Tell Jeffrey Howard to come in.

You may go in now.

- Attention Washington...
- Have you read it?

- Yes, quite a surprise.
- Did you know him?

We fought together in Korea for
two years, Al was a great guy.

After the war he was
transferred to the secret service.

Did you ever work together?

No, I hadn't seen him since the war.

Request Al Monks' file from Washington.

- What happened exactly?
- Monks was meeting a contact from Shanghai.

Last night, he was to receive a map showing
the Nationalist Resistance's operations.

I'll show you what's
happening at the moment...

Take a look at this.

This is the last map we received six months
ago showing all cells and their locations.

If this information happens
to fall into our adversaries' hands

it would lead to the
death of hundreds of our agents.

How do you know
this hasn't already happened?

I'm under the
impression that a third party

has committed to steal the documents we
possess and then blackmail us.

This is a hard one.

Those documents could be
on the other side of the world by now.

No, we'll only stay for one night.

Also, please reserve two seats on the
next plane for New York tomorrow morning.

- What happened?
- Nothing you can help...

Here's a plane
ticket for tomorrow morning.

To New York?

No, Taiwan.. It's time you went home...

But I want to make
sure you're presentable.

You can be so crude sometimes.

- Are you Bill Howard?
- Yes that's me.

You may be interested to know that Al
Monks, who you believe to be dead, is alive.

Who am I talking to?

My name is Nan Cho
and I am familiar with Al Monks.

We coincidentally crossed paths
half an hour ago.

If you want we can meet on my
boat tonight, East of Aberdin bay.

Look for a big sail with a yellow sun.
Bring 5,000 dollars.

Who told you I would be interested?

In Hong Kong, night and day have
a thousand eyes and ears, Mr Howard.

Be sure to bring the money.

Are you leaving?

Yes. Listen, do you
have any friends in Hong Kong?

No, I thought that...

Yes, so did I.. Don't worry,
I'll be back soon and we can settle that.

Mister Monks' death
was not caused by the explosion.

We found this nine
caliber bullet in his body.

Did you check the fingerprints?

Impossible, his hands
were effaced in the explosion...

Are you going to wait for Miss Foster
to proceed with the examination?

No.

Take these two bullets to the lab.

Bet your last dollar
they were fired from the same gun.

Was Monks assigned to any Arab country?

No, not to my knowledge at least.

Allow me to present myself. I'm Harry
Jones, United States consul to Hong Kong.

This is Bill Howard.

- Herald Tribune correspondent.
- I am Karin Foster.

Were you involved with Al Monks?

Yes, once I was divorced,
we planned to marry.

Excuse me, but did you notice Al acting
at all concerned these last months?

- Was he threatened to any extent?
- Not that I know of.

You must pardon me once more,
but I must fulfill my informative duty.

Where did you meet Al Monks?

Journalists' questions are often more
inconvenient than those the police ask.

I was a club performer in Jakarta.

- Would you like to see him?
- Yes.

- Are you okay?
- Yes, it's nothing.. Just the shock.

- Do you need a ride?
- I have a taxi waiting, thanks.

- What do you reckon?
- That she's a fine woman.

However, there's
something suspicious about her.

- Goodbye Kay, and good luck.
- Thank you.

Your ticket Miss Foster.

Thanks

I've notified the crew to transfer your
luggage to Milan when you arrive in Karachi.

Which gate is it?

Number three.

Here's your information.

The flight number is
406TTA, it connects from Karachi with the

209 Al Italia flight via Milan.

The American consulate please.

- Is that you Bill?
- Yes, what's happening?

I'm at the airport, our friend is departing
to Milan via Pakistan.

Okay, check for the next flight and
reserve a seat in my name.

Our beloved friend Karin Foster, has hastily
packed her bags and left Hong Kong.

A package has just
arrived from the police.

Bring it in please.
It's the ballistic report from the lab.

Just as I suspected.

The two bullets found in Al Monks and
Nan Cho were shot from the same gun.

Pay the fare and take care of my luggage.

Good day sir...

I'm the new secretary,
there's nothing to report.

You did receive a call though from

Lugano constructions asserting
the estimate you requested.

Please madame, I'm rather tired.
We can go through all that tomorrow.

As you wish Mr Lo Monaco.

Is this Mr Fargo?

This wire just came for you.

URGENT - HOWARD EN ROUTE TODAY
MILAN VIA KARACHI

They're currently announcing the arrival
of flight 209 from Karachi.

- Wait for it.
- Got it.

See the man in the white suit?

Just outside the
entrance with a briefcase?

- Yes, that's him.
- I see him sir.

Be cautious, he's dangerous.

Take him with the diversion as planned,
the rest of the men are on their way.

Understood.

Excuse me, this man
lifted his arm before you.

- Fargo, confirm if car 3 is en route.
- Confirmed sir.

Good, I want the
documents delivered tonight.

Hello?
Yes, it's me.

Good.
Tonight at 12, got it.

- How come this divergence?
- Traffic sir, this route's quicker.

Turn around right now...

Hands on the wheel and no funny games.

Maintain speed and don't
forget I've got a gun pointing at you.

Now listen carefully,...

Lift your right foot from the accelerator
and step on it with your left at full speed.

Then move mindfully to the right
and release the wheel.. Quickly!

Now drive with your left hand,
and don't get anxious.

So you thought it was gonna be easy huh?

I knew something
shady was up at the airport.

Now be a good boy and open the door.

I'll count to three, then I shoot.

My name is Bill Howard, I made a
reservation from Hong Kong.

Let me see.. Yes, room 608.

Please arrange for my
luggage collection, thank you.

Accompany Mr Howard, room 608.

- I've already had a look.
- Mike! What are you doing here?

I'm assigned to Central Europe.
I was told to contact you.

Take a seat.

There are great concerns in
Washington about this affair.

According to our sources, the
documents that disappeared in Hong Kong

have been obtained by a mafia

who are offering the
information to the government of Peking

in exchange for five million dollars.

We highly suspect the deal
will be carried out in Italy.

A top Chinese
general involved in espionage

arrived yesterday in
Genova on a private yacht.

Are you absolutely
certain the mafia's involved?

Yes, Karin Foster met at the airport when
she arrived yesterday a certain Max Fargo

Fargo owns a nightclub called 'Fossi'
where Foster will be performing tonight.

Later on she contacted Domenico
Lo Monaco, Al Monks' twin brother.

Here's his file.

Domenico Lo Monaco from Messina.

Gunrunning, drug trafficking,
human trafficking

.. quite a career.

For the last five years he's directed a
company specializing in waterway transport.

We've found out he's carried out
a few jobs for the mafia involving this.

Well Mike, that makes
things even more interesting..

You take care of Karin Foster,
and leave the rest to me.

I just saw him pass by the entrance.

I'm worried Max, this Howard character is
complicating things for us.

Maybe it'd be best to get
back to our legitimate business.

And throw in the
towel after all we've done?

My share's one million dollars, neither
Howard nor Interpol can make me pull out.

His car's just pulled up in the parking lot.

Wait for me downstairs.

He's here.

Collect the documents
and bring them to me.

Do you have the documents?

They're in a safe place.

But I won't hand them over
while Bill Howard's watching you.

I'm not taking that risk.

We'll take care of Howard
at the appropriate time.

I suggest you hand them
over for your $200,000...

Here you are.

Go get them and bring them to me.

With Howard alive and kicking?
No.

Anyway, it's better to go over the
conditions of the deal once again.

Everything's changed,
this is no longer a piece of cake.

Turn over the documents or...

Fargo stop!

Listen Monks, you must
stick to our agreement.

It was you who looked us up

in Hong Kong offering the information.

you were between a
rock and a hard place with

your brother and your wife Karin,
since she refused to divorce you.

We presented your brother's death so you
could replace him and gain a perfect alibi.

We've played our part,
now it's your turn.

There's your money,
what else do you want?

I want my fair share. I now know what the
Chinese government's willing to pay.

I'm receiving the smallest share but I'm
more than willing to come to an accord.

I'll give them to you,
but for one million dollars.

Mister Fargo, come down
at once, Howard's in the club.

Bill Howard is in the club.

Are you aware of just
how dangerous that man is?

Fargo, go down and keep your eyes on him.

Listen, I have a proposal...

They won't find you here.
Don't worry.

If they find out you've helped me,
you could get into serious trouble.

Women in my line of work always assist
men on the run. Do you like rum?

- What's your name?
- Sonia, yours?

- Bill what?
- Is it at all important?

No, not really.

- They're gone, it's best I left.
- Is it that uncomfortable with me?

What do you think?

Virna, I want a
list of all my bank accounts.

Yes sir, right away.

Listen, if someone calls
tell them I'm at the port.

Leave the dictaphone open,
I want to know who comes in.

Yes hello?

Thanks Mike, I'm on my way.

Hello, I'm here to see Mr Lo Monaco.
My name is Karin Foster.

Virna, let her in please.

Why have you come?
What's happened?

I'm scared Al,
when I found out he followed

you yesterday, I was so afraid for you.

Don't worry about a thing, it's all under
control, you've nothing to fear.

As much as I try to calm myself, I can't
forget the dangers involved.

I'm sure Howard knows everything since he
saw your brothers' arm tattoo in Hong Kong.

That's no proof,
many years have passed since Korea.

The tattoo could have been done later.

I'm afraid Al, let's run away.

No way, now I'm Domenico Lo Monaco and I'm
about to receive a million dollars.

I've got it all figured out, it'll all be
sorted in a few days from now.

We can go to Morocco first,
nobody'll suspect anything.

My brother used to make the trip
regularly, he had business there.

From there we can go
to South America, we'll be forgotten.

Look Al, it's funny you should say that.

if your brother lived
in an Arab country,

1323 could be a date
of the Muslim calendar that...

corresponds to 1945 on our calendar.

1945?

So the tattoo could've been
done before the Korean war?

Yes, that's why Howard followed me.

He suspects the same.

I'm Bill Howard,
an engineer with the Steel Corporation.

I'm here to see Mr Lo Monaco,
if there's no inconvenience of course.

Mr Lo Monaco has just got back
from Rome and is currently busy.

Be a good girl and tell him I'm here.

Perhaps I can help you,
Mr Howard?

- What are you going to do?
- Wait in there, I'll see him.

- Please come in mister...
- Bill Howard.

It's a pleasure.

Have a seat.

Well, how can I help you Mr Howard?

I represent the
Steel Corporation from New York.

My company's just contracted some
important construction here and we thought

perhaps the materials can
be transported on the river...

- Ticino.
- Exactly.

I see, and you would like for us to take
care of the transport.

Indeed..
with an estimate beforehand of course.

How interesting...

You're the spitting image of an Italian
American fellow I fought in Korea with.

His name was Al Monks.

My brother, we were twins.

He immigrated to the United
States and changed his name to Monks,

the English translation
of our family name Lo Monaco.

Did you know him well?

Certainly, we were in the same regiment.

He had a very special character.

We hadn't heard from him for years,

until a couple of days ago we
heard the terrible news through the press.

My brother was killed in Hong Kong while
carrying out some business there.

Believe me I'm so sorry, Mr Lo Monaco.

Thank you Mr Howard..

Back to your matter,
would you like an estimate?

At your discretion.

Virna, come in please.

Considering the kind of materials you'll
use, I believe it best to use big barges.

Prepare an estimate to transport
construction materials using wide barges.

Big barges?

Yes, the biggest.
Have it completed today.

Thank you, I'm pleased to
have met you Mr Lo Monaco.

'Til next time.

I'm sure he knows absolutely everything.

Let's get away
from here before it's too late.

If I run now I'll lose the money.

Hello. Is this Fargo? This is Al Monks.

Listen good,
Bill Howard just left my office.

- Attention Mike.
- Go ahead Bill.

I've just come out of his
office and I'm positive it's him.

What's your plan?

I'm going to follow the secretary
and find out as much as I can.

I'll keep you informed.

- Got it.
- Keep in touch.. Out.

Hello there Miss, need a lift?

Oh, hello Mr Howard.
No, I'm okay thanks.

- It's no trouble at all for me.
- Thanks so much.

Attention Fargo, Howard contacted
Monks' secretary just as we planned.

Faira is watching them.

Keep me up to date.

Inform them we're keeping an eye on her.

Thanks very
much Mr Howard, you're so kind.

It was nothing,
do you have anything to do next Sunday?

No, not at all.

I was thinking about spending a day at
Garda Lake, would you like to join me?

I don't know if I'll be able to.

Sure, well think about it and
call me at the Palace Hotel, okay?

Okay.

Hello Virna.
I was waiting for you.

What are you doing here?

Fargo sent me.

A new mission, your order is to arrange
for Howard to be captured by the mafia.

- Why me?
- Because those are your orders.

- What if I decline?
- That wouldn't be wise.

I've done everything
Fargo's wanted up to now,

but this time my life's on the line.

Well, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Max is that you?

I've just spoken to Virna..

No, I don't think so.
She seems troubled.

Wait, I'll put her on..

He wants to talk to you.

Hurry up.

Go ahead Mr Fargo.. Yes...

Very well, as you've ordered.

Virna will take care of everything,
be prepared when the time comes.

You know Bill, it's been ages
since I've had such a nice time.

Well it can only get better..

Let's take a walk around
the Garda and find somewhere to eat.

Have you ever asked yourself how a woman

could live with you?

Of course, she'd live marvellously
as long as she recognized I'm in charge.

- Maybe it'd be better to return to Milan.
- Why? Is something wrong?

No, I'm fine,
it's just getting late that's all.

We planned to dine in Garda,
and that's what we'll do.

Someone's following us, and I don't get the
impression they're interested in joining

us for dinner.
I'll let them get closer and you'll see.

They certainly don't expect an armored car,
we'll lose them in the tunnel.

Don't you want to see how this story ends?

- Do you feel better now?
- Yes.

It's likely those guys
were just a drop in the bucket.

We may encounter more
trouble on the way to Milan.

It'd be better for us to stop for tonight..

Do you know of a hotel in these parts?

Yes, there's a hostel where I spent last
Christmas. It's a few miles from here.

Alright, let's hope we don't run into
any more surprises on the way.

Who could it be at such an hour?

Virna I can't believe it!

How marvelous!

Allow me to present...

I'm the most fortunate man who Virna's
married, my name is Bill Howard..

I've heard so much about you.

What a surprise!

Come on in, sit down.

Why didn't you tell us already?

It's my fault. When one has the fortune of
meeting such a marvelous woman like Virna,

the marriage must be quick.

Before anyone can take her from you.
At least that's how we work in America.

That's absolutely right.

Clelia, prepare them something to eat.

When recently married and happy,
hunger and good humour never lack.

- Not for us, right Virna?
- I'm going to get some wine.

Why did you lie to them?

Because I don't want you
out of my sight for one moment.

A 1945 vintage, excellent.

For dinner there's a
stupendous rice dish with mushrooms.

You'll be comfortable here,
it's our best room.. Good night.

The game's up, who are you working for?

Speak up, is it Fargo?
I said speak!

They don't pay me,
they force me to work for them.

Who are they?

The Gamma mafia.
If I don't do what they say...

My brother's in jail for
drug trafficking awaiting his sentence.

They have the evidence against him.

I don't want him to be sentenced.
He's all I have.

- How do I know you're not lying?
- That's the truth, I swear.

Okay...

...Tomorrow I'll find out.

Relax for now.

It's time to go, a hard day awaits us.

I won't be afraid of anything,
as long as you're by my side.

Where are you?

At a gas station outside Garda.

He detained me all night

and abandoned me this morning
on the highway, I hitched a ride to here.

- Which way did he head?
- He headed North.

Wait there, I'll send Faira
and Miguel to pick you up.

NEED THIS PART???

They're coming to pick me up,
these are the keys to my apartment.

We'll see each other there.

You're a very brave girl. Everything's
gonna turn out fine, you'll see.

That's enough for now Gino,
we'll resume later.

- Attention Fargo, they're arriving.
- Who is?

Colonel Xen, assistant to General Bou Long
and Piero Salmici, an arms manufacturer.

They're here to collect the documents.

We've been waiting for you
to contact us for four days now,

so we decided to come personally.

General Bou Long wants the
documents within twenty four hours.

We'll pay the $5 million
with top quality emeralds.

The delay is
due to considerable difficulties.

Bill Howard,
an American interpol agent, is on our case.

Until he's eliminated we won't
have the documents in our possession.

This issue is your responsibility.

General Bou Long wants the
documents and won't wait any longer.

Understood.
Come back tomorrow morning.

In light of the current complications,
it will be most unwise for us to return.

You'll have to decide
how to get the documents to us.

- How?
- 30 miles before Genova is a small village

called Sori. We'll meet at this address.
It's a factory of mine.

If by sunrise the
documents aren't in our hands,

we'll consider the deal terminated,
Mr Fargo.

I want to speak with Mr Lo Monaco,
It's Karin Foster.

Karin Foster's on the line.

Alright, go straight to the hotel after
the function, we'll meet there.

You must get Monks to hand over the
documents before midnight.

By any means necessary.

Fargo, I'm putting you in charge
of the whole operation.

Let's go.

...after the function...

It's obvious, Monks has decided
to carry out the exchange alone.

With a quick phonecall to the Italian

police General Bou Long
and his associates will be arrested.

That won't sort anything.

The documents will
still be in Monks' possession

and the exchange
can take place somewhere else.

They have to cross paths right here.

Since we're lucky enough to count on Virna,
we can keep watching Monks and he'll

lead us to the documents.

Take my car, that way we'll be able
to contact each other.

It's linked to a helicopter.

It'll be dangerous and there's
no time for precautions.

Attention Bill,
he's heading to his office.

Hands up Monks and don't move an inch.

It's not easy to shoot an old friend
but if you try anything I won't hesitate.

Open the safe.

Don't move!.

Throw down your gun Howard.

Virna listen.. Don't let Monks leave
your sight and keep in touch with me.

- He just got on the road to Genova.
- Follow him.. I'm on my way.

Oh it's you. Where are you?
Has something happened?

Listen, I can't get to the hotel.

I'm calling from a roadside bar.

I want you to board a
train to Genova tomorrow morning.

Sure, Genova it is. Where will we meet?

At the port, eight AM. The North pier.

- It seems the lights are weak.
- In that case we can't allow you to go on.

- I'll be there in five minutes.
- Okay.

Don't move or I'll shoot.

I want you to start the car and drive.

I knew you were
following me all the way from Milan.

I don't know who you work for,
Fargo or Howard...

whoever it is, you're
no longer at their disposal.

Attention Fargo,
Howard or whoever's listening...

this is Al Monks,
I've got Virna.

If you want to see her again
I suggest you don't cross my path

because I won't hesitate to shoot her.

Attention Mike.

Go ahead Bill.

Monks found out Virna
was following him and took her hostage.

Don't worry, I'll track
the car and send you the coordinates.

Your orders have been carried out successfully,
you may give Howard the Salmici factory address,

we'll inform Fargo.
-Got it.

Turn right here.

They just turned right towards Soria.
Kilometer 96.

I'm on them.

You were right Mike, they've arrived at a
Salmici factory. I'll try to enter.

The documents are here as arranged,

thanks to the unexpected cooperation of
our dear friend Virna, that is...

Just to be sure, this will help us
stay clear of any subsequent difficulties.

Now Colonel,
let's get this done and over with.

Agreed, however General Bou Long wants
to confirm the documents' authenticity.

Just a minute...
No emeralds, no documents.

If everything's in order you'll
receive what was promised immediately.

The General is waiting
for us on his yacht just off the Genova bay.

Hand me the briefcase.

Take the bodies to sector 5, hurry!

Someone's broken into the factory.

That's Bill Howard.

We must establish
whether he's alone and if

he's attempting a trap
to lure us out of the factory...

Attention security, lure that man

to sector 5 and focus extra
surveillance on the outside of the building.

Howard's adventure is coming to an end.

We've got him now.

Howard this is Salmici,

you're inside a machine
that's about to start crushing you.

Save your bullets for
later, you'll need them to kill both

the girl and yourself.

Seven minutes to die.

Where is Monks?

He killed Fargo and
is going with Xen to Genova.

The wall's moving!

Go ahead Bill.

Monks killed Fargo
and is heading to Genova with Xen.

I've got it under control, where are you?

Locked in a crusher...
I'll do my best to get out.

Attention Milan headquarters.

Al Monks has killed Fargo.

Secure Bou Long's yacht.

Got it, we'll keep you informed.

Let's get out of here,
follow us in your car.

Listen carefully, I'm just outside the
factory at the opposite end of the yard.

I'm on my way over there.

Attention headquarters, Howard's escaped
and Monks is on the road to Genova.

We don't have enough operatives in Genova,

It's best to let Howard eliminate Monks.

- We'll reach him in a few minutes.
- We can't let him reach Bou Long.

It's all on you.

Come on out with your hands up!

Mike, headquarters speaking...

...A motorboat from Bou Long's
yacht is heading towards the bay,

Howard killed Monks and has the documents.

Eliminate him and get
out of there.

Howard! Stop right there..

Throw down
your pistol...Now!

Your mission's over...

This time you failed, you always
thought so highly of yourself but no more...

Are you hurt?

It's only a scratch, let's get out of here.

You've been very brave you know.

Bill, please promise me when we get to
America you'll leave this line of work.

I promise.
