West.

Good evening, Senator.

Must be something
pretty important

to bring you down here.

It is, sir, extremely important.

Ah, Senator Hastings.

Bon soir, mon ami.

Consul-General.

Excuse us, please.

I want you should meet
our distinguished guest.

He is one of France's most...

Oh, Jim.

We're bringing it down
in about a half hour.

Until then, it's locked
up safe and sound.

Have you checked the guests?

I can vouch for
everyone, Lieutenant.

I don't wish to be overly
officious, monsieur,

but we of the Sûreté
are not content

with the ordinary safeguards.

Now, Lieutenant, I have the
highest regard for the Sûreté,

but considering the importance

of the material
locked in your safe

and the difficulty it would
cause both our governments

if it were stolen,

we want to give you
our fullest cooperation.

Excuse me.

I warn you, Dr. Ormont,

I don't much understand
these scientific things.

Franconium is the
most amazing substance

that has been
discovered up to date.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Monsieur West.

I think that you
will be struck...

Staggered by
the possibilities...

We shall be
starting in a moment.

Oh, fine. Thank you.

May I?

I brought in the flowers and
the vase myself, Monsieur West.

Are you interested in flowers?

Or are you looking for a bomb?

Ah, just habit, I'm afraid.

But when my assignment is over,

would you celebrate the occasion

by going to the theater with me?

I would love to.

Oh, yes, I've got it.

I met you at the
Geneva Conference

of weights and measures.

No, I'm afraid...

Ah, then it must have
been at Greenwich Seminar.

No, I'm sorry, I...

Uh-uh, I never make a mistake.

Of course, the
Greenwich Seminar.

How are you?

You're late, madam.

Because of the war now going
on between France and Prussia,

the United States has been
good enough to allow us

to bring Dr. Ormont's
discovery... Franconium...

To this country
for safe keeping.

We are taking advantage
of this opportunity

to introduce it to you gentlemen of
the American scientific community.

It gives me great
pleasure to introduce

France's most
distinguished scientist,

Dr. Jean-Paul Ormont.

My friends and colleagues...

Among certain sorts of
uranium, there is one...

Keep your eye on things here.

I'll check it out.

Right.

Its departed
presence, if you will,

can impart to the
key a brilliant...

May I have a look?

Oh, Monsieur West,
you startled me.

You were so absorbed
in whatever it is

you're looking at on the slide.

It is a failure, I suspect.

Uh... Monsieur West, you
have not found the Franconium?

I have no more
idea where it is today

than I did yesterday.

Those look like orchid spores.

Odontoglossum.

I'm attempting to
stain them with aniline,

but my technique...

I usually don't have trouble
understanding what a woman's saying.

But I am a botanist.

On behalf of the
French government,

I am collecting
samples of your flora.

When I have cultivated
them and toughened them,

and to some extent
acclimated them,

I shall ship some
home to France.

You're a surprising woman.

Toujours femmes,
toujours surprises.

A rough translation: A woman
is not a woman without surprises.

I like surprises, but
of course, within limits.

But of course.

This place has a
most interesting history.

Originally, it was a tannery.

I understand the vats
are still underneath there.

I may take a look.

Oh.

Surely you do not suspect

the Franconium is
still in the consulate.

That container's lead-lined,
heavy, very difficult to move.

I believe your uncle's
waiting for me now.

May I join you?

My pleasure.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Jim, could I see you
for a moment, please?

You'll excuse us, of course.

Certainement.

Sorry to break into
your Cattleya occidens.

You know about orchids,
then, Monsieur Gordon.

Oh, just a snipping
acquaintance.

As a matter of fact,

I've always been
interested in nature

since I was a little boy.

Artemus, you did want
to see me, didn't you?

Oh, yes.

My Great-Aunt Maude
always used to say,

"Every man should have a hobby."

Or were you just,
uh, contemplating

that bit of orchid as
a potential corsage

for the young lady

you're taking to
the theater tonight?

You have been the busy
Secret Service man, haven't you?

Now what about that
security check I ordered?

Nobody leaves here without
being put under surveillance.

Keep it around the clock.

Does that include the,
uh, lady of the orchid

or will you be cultivating
that one personally?

Everybody knows that a
young orchid has to be kept

at a carefully controlled
temperature as long as...

You have a suspicious mind, Jim.

A very suspicious mind.

What you are looking
at here is a ghost.

As you know, last night
a lead-lined canister

containing 100
grams of Franconium

was in this safe.

The power of this
substance is utterly fantastic,

beyond imagination.

You have already seen

how by placing an ordinary
key in the safe for a few minutes

the effluvium of
the Franconium...

Its, uh, departed
presence, if you will...

Can impart to the
key a brilliant radiance.

What's that instrument
you're holding, Doctor?

An energy register.

A simple detection
device I designed.

The rotors inside the
hermetically sealed vessel are

highly sensitive to Franconium

or any substance exposed to it

without a protective
lead shield.

Now, you will notice,

when I get into the sphere
of the exposed key...

the vanes will rotate faster.

Inanimate objects glow
when exposed to Franconium.

Think what it can
do to a human body.

One drop of it unshielded
could kill a room full of people;

think what a weapon of
destruction that could be.

And every gram of Franconium
in the world was in that safe.

Loose, in the
wrong hands, a killer.

Oh, a catastrophe.

I cannot describe how much.

Perhaps I can,

with Monsieur the Consul-
General's permission.

Uh, Monsieur West...

it may have come to your notice.

France is presently
at war with Prussia.

My country's very much
aware of it, Lieutenant Renard.

Ah, I am truly delighted

to hear that, monsieur.

You should also
be aware of the fact

that as the representative
of French Sûreté,

I felt from the beginning it
would be a tragic mistake

to ship our Franconium
to your country.

I'm becoming aware of
your feeling, Lieutenant.

I foresaw the possibility

that it might fall
into Prussian hands

as a result of a
bungling, monsieur.

Who's bungling?

Or does the Sûreté always
claim to be clairvoyant

after the crime's committed?

Please, these accusations,
they're uncalled for.

Monsieur West, you
understand that in Prussian hands

it would be used against France.

Surely that must be of
some vital concern to you.

My only concern is
getting the Franconium

back into the hands
of its rightful owners.

Forgive me, Uncle, I
know I should remain quiet,

but... Monsieur
le Consul-General,

surely we are being
unfair to Monsieur West.

Speaking of
bungling, Lieutenant,

where were you exactly

when the explosion took place?

Oh, I see, monsieur.

Now it is I who is to blame, eh?

Well, you may be
right, mademoiselle.

Monsieur West's
country generously

decides to help us
safeguard our treasure...

Even assigns one of its top
operatives to, uh, safeguard it...

In spite of which it
has managed to vanish

without a single clue.

Excuse the
interruption, Lieutenant,

but this young
lady's part of the team

that made off with
the Franconium.

You must be mistaken.

She was masquerading
as an old lady

last night.

But she is Amelie Charlemont,

my secretary.

The man has delusions.

All right, we'll settle this
right now... lift up your foot.

I will not!

How dare you?

Look at her ankle, gentlemen.

A perfect set of
my fingerprints.

A little souvenir
from last night.

Amelie!

C'est incroyable.

Alors, what about her
accomplice and the Franconium?

Maybe Amelie can be persuaded

to fill us in on
those little details.

I'll take over the
questioning now, Monsieur.

I'll handle this,
if you don't mind.

Perhaps Monsieur forgets,

Miss Charlemont
is a French national.

This consulate
is French territory,

and the crime itself was
committed against France.

Nevertheless, I'm going
to have to pull rank on you.

With your permission, Sir.

Oui, monsieur.

Lieutenant, a few questions,

what harm can
there be in that, eh?

Alone, Lieutenant,
if you don't mind.

Sit down.

Of course, you know

you're in a lot of trouble.

Your heavy-footed friend

fixed you up pretty
good last night.

Snuffing out a servant's life.

It makes you an
accomplice to murder,

doesn't it?

You're going to have to pay

for what happened last night,

but, of course,
if you cooperate,

the price will be
considerably more attractive.

You're a pretty, young girl...

very attractive,

but what do you
think you'll look like

after 20 years in
the prison workshop?

You shouldn't have done that.

You really shouldn't
have done that.

Mr. West, I'm truly sorry.

You should be sorry.

You spoke of my cooperating.

Would you really
help me if I do?

Of course, if you're
genuinely sincere.

Because I want very, very much

to cooperate with you.

That's not exactly

the kind of cooperation
I had in mind.

Something wrong with my kind?

No, no.

As a matter of fact...

Did she get away?

Free and clear.

Monsieur, I am appalled.

How could you let
such a thing happen?

And with your own revolver?

She didn't have one
of her own. Thank you.

Face powder?

For the sake of an
amorous little episode?

Monsieur, this is sordid.

I thought it was
rather pleasant myself.

If this is the way
American Secret Service

performs its
function, monsieur...

Uh, Lieutenant... uh-uh.

Bulletproof.

And Amelie is being followed

by one of our men
this very moment.

You mean...

you planned this?

In hopes that she would lead us

to her confederates.

When the time is
right, I'll follow her.

You might have taken me

into your confidence!

There wasn't time.

Where's Amelie?

Uh, she's escaped.

Escaped!

I'm afraid so.

It was my fault, I was careless.

The girl had my fullest
trust and confidence.

I cannot help but feel

that there must
have been a mistake.

There is no mistake, I can
assure you, Monsieur Ormont.

But Amelie... she's
been with me so long,

and I felt so sure about
her character and loyalty.

And don't forget, Uncle,

the Prussians have
a great deal of money

with which to
tempt a young girl.

Even so, she will
be caught again.

I almost hope she isn't.

Sir, I don't have to remind
you of the importance to France

of the material that
has been stolen.

Or the embarrassment to us.

No, no.

Of course, you are right.

Until all this is
settled, Uncle,

n-none of us can
feel really safe,

or know whom to trust.

Well, Jim, I guess

we, uh... should
get started, huh?

You might be able to use these.

Uh, thank you.

I would rather wait
until you are free.

Jim...

Tell me something.

You ever wonder what
might have happened

if Amelie had pointed that gun

a little higher when
she shot at you?

I think the box office

would have refunded the money.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Three...

Four...

Artemus!

Shh, I'm timing
this... Five... six...

What are you doing?

I got to concentrate here.

Seven... eight...

Nine...

Ten.

It works.

One day, one of your
ideas isn't going to work,

and you're going
to find yourself

stretched out for good.

I'm still a lot safer
than somebody

who lets dear Amelie
take pot shots at him,

even with a bulletproof vest.

Want to know what it is?

Well, if I don't ask you,

you'll tell me anyway.

It's a chemical leech.

Chemical what?

Leech.

That's a ball of a new
chemical compound

with such highly
developed adhesive powers

that on contact, it'll support a
man's weight for ten seconds.

All you got to do is mash
it against something solid.

It's fantastic stuff.

Oh, I've arranged
to put the train in

for a general overhaul.

We'll have rooms at the hotel

for a couple of days, all right?

"Amelie...

"Charlemont...

"followed... to... Hannibal...

Amusement... Park."

"Meeting... expected...

to... take... place."

Artemus, I want you
to run a security check

on everyone connected
with the embassy.

Hannibal Amusement Park...

I haven't had cotton
candy for years.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Step right up, folks.

Meet this beautiful,
gorgeous, exhilarating dancer

from the rivers of the Nile.

She wiggles and she shakes,

and she makes your hair curl.

Step right up, folks,
it's only one dime,

ten cents, one
tenth of a dollar.

Everybody goes.

Step up to the signpost.

The show's about to commence.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Here it is.

The greatest girlie
show on the island.

Here she is, Lucy.

Right direct from the land...

from the land of beautiful
women with exotic dances.

Folks, one dime.

One tenth of a dollar.

One thin dime.

Two nickels.

Yes, sir.

Step right up, see this
gorgeous, exotic dancer

from the land of the Nile.

She wiggles and she shakes,

and she makes your hair curl.

Step right up, folks.

It's only one dime, ten cents.

One tenth of a dollar.

Everybody goes.

Step right inside, folks.

The show is about to commence.

Here she is,

right direct from...

I got your instructions
to meet you here.

I wish you could have seen

the expression on Mr. West's
face when I shot him.

You stupid fool.

Stupid?

You did exactly what Monsieur
West wanted you to do.

But I shot him!

I killed him!

Of course you did, cherie.

I don't understand.

He was wearing
a bulletproof vest.

Monsieur West wanted
you to shoot him,

to think you have killed him.

But why?

To follow you.

To make you talk,

to have you lead him to me.

I would never do that.

You know that.

Oh, oui.

I know that.

No.

You are too kind.

Very handsome.

You are most understanding.

To appreciate the
difficulty of your position?

That should be obvious.

You also are in a
very difficult position.

Eh... awkward, at least.

There's the American.

Will you join us?

This is an unexpected
pleasure, Monsieur West.

Your pursuit of Amelie
has brought you here?

Your uncle told
me where you'd be.

Oh... then, you
have found Amelie.

Yes.

And she has talked?

No.

Uh, never fear.

In my experience, a night
in prison does wonders

to loosen the tongue.

I wouldn't count
on it this time.

May I ask where you
got your boutonniere?

Mademoiselle was kind
enough to give it to me.

It is my favorite flower

and, uh...

Identical.

Hmm.

Um, is your boutonniere also
from a lady, Monsieur West?

In a way.

I took it from Amelie's
hand about a half hour ago.

She was shot.

Uh...

this is a very rare orchid.

Avondus, I think.

Yes, Avondus.

Uh, grows only in Hawaii.

Do you consider it a clue?

Perhaps.

I've asked for a complete
dossier of information

on everyone
connected with the case.

Including us?

Including you.

Oh, ho, ho...

Such impudence.

Only an American...

No, no, no, no, no.

Eh, this, uh...
What is the word...

"cynicism" is
typical of the Sûreté.

Of course, we waste
a great deal of time,

but we are thorough.

I will refer you
to several ladies,

who will give you the most
interesting gossip about me.

Some small fragments
of it are even true.

You and I will go away together

somewhere quietly,
just the two of us,

and I will tell you all there
is to know about me...

Absolutely everything.

You will find it much more
amusing than a dull dossier.

I'm sure, but there's no
need to go to all that trouble.

Such lack of faith should
be rewarded, Monsieur West.

Most assuredly.

As you say, mademoiselle,
we shouldn't trust anyone.

Um... one question,
Monsieur West.

Who is investigating you?

And don't be so
sure someone isn't.

Uh... we should
drink to something.

To suspicion.

To suspicion.

Suspicion.

Artemus.

Artemus.

Artemus.

What are you trying to do?

I can ask you.

Right in the middle of testing

my new artificial lung.

Artificial lung?

Yes!

And it's brilliant,

if I do say so myself, Jim.

You see, you put this
molded piece on over your...

over your nose...

Did you get the information

on all the consulate personnel?

Well, naturally.

It's inside.

I've designed this
thing so that it'll hold

five minutes' worth of
oxygen in the reservoir, Jim.

Think of that.

Five minutes
underwater, submerged,

and you'd still survive.

That is, if somebody
was trying to drown you.

What if it doesn't work?

Bring it back.

I'll make you a new one.

Just, uh... hang that on the
wall right over there, would you?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Oh, uh...

Jim, would you mind, uh...

Thank you, Mr. West.

You seem worried.

I am.

Till that Franconium is found,

it could be a worse killer
than the people that stole it.

Too bad we didn't get to
Amelie before that bullet.

Well, I didn't.

"Height: 5-10½ inches.

"Weight: 165 pounds.

"Distinguishing marks:
A missing ring finger

on the second joint
of the left hand."

Renard?

What are you muttering about?

Renard.

He doesn't have
any fingers missing.

You sure about Renard?

I know Renard
has all his fingers.

I just saw him in a
restaurant with Cluny,

and they were very
close and friendly.

How friendly?

I don't know.

Cluny pinned an
orchid in his lapel.

When I found Amelie, she had
an orchid clutched in her hand.

What do we do now?

I think we better
call the housekeeper.

This place is a mess.

And now you know.

Now I know that Lieutenant
Renard had an artificial finger.

You don't know, but
your accent isn't showing.

I have no further need for it.

Anything else?

The rest are just guesses.

Interested in hearing them?

Well, yes, please.

Somewhere in this crate
is a lead-lined container

with a hundred grams

of someone else's Franconium.

Very clever.

Well, why Renard?

Why?

Why, because he'd made the
mistake of finding out things.

Because he knew
that you were the one

that planned the theft
of the Franconium.

And now you know it, too.

From the very beginning,
he suspected me.

Did you know that?

No, frankly, I didn't
give him enough credit.

Poor, gallant Renard.

You should also know this.

In an effort to get proof,

he even pretended
he was in love with me.

But you didn't believe
him, not for a minute.

No, I don't make mistakes.

How about forgetting
to take the orchid

from Amelie's hand
after you shot her?

You call that a mistake?

It brought you here, didn't it?

And what a shame your
time has run out, Jim.

Has it?

It's too bad.

Mice?

You no longer amuse me.

Last time I heard
those delicate footsteps

was in the French Consulate.

Very heavy gauge steel.

No doors, no escape.

Nothing but the best
for your houseguests.

Wait, there's more.

Do you know how orchids are
protected against insect pests?

How?

By fumigation...

The fumes of prussic acid,

a very, very deadly gas.

Yes, those are prussic
acid fumes you hear.

Your torch won't last very long

when the fumes drive the
oxygen out, but neither will you.

Just breathe deeply,

and it'll soon be over.

Au revoir, Jim.

Hurry with the boards.

We have to get that
Franconium out of here.

Did you make all the
arrangements for sailing?

And for the Franconium to
be picked up when we arrived?

Be careful!

If there's the slightest crack

in that lead canister...

Who is it?

Express man, lady.

Go away.

Oh, I'm sorry,
lady, I can't do that.

You got to sign first.

Come on, lady.

I haven't got all day.

What's this all about?

I don't know.

I had to pick up a trunk here.

There is no trunk here.

Oh... certainly there is.

There is no trunk

and we don't need
an Express man.

Well, there has to be.

Otherwise, why
would you send for me?

We didn't send for you.

Oh, you didn't send for me?

That's this place, ain't it?

Yes, but...

And that says
one trunk, don't it?

Certainly, but...

All right.

Where is it?

Look, there is no trunk

and we do not need
an Express man.

Lady...

I am a very patient man...

Patient as the day is long.

Now, there comes
a time when it's time

for even the most patient
of men to get wore out.

I am about wore out, lady.

Where's the trunk?

For the last time,
there is no trunk.

We don't need an Express man.

All right.

All right.

I'll find it for myself.

Mister...

If you'll just go away,
I'll pay you for your time.

Hey... hey!

I knew it!

I knew it!

And you said that
you didn't have a trunk.

Mister...

Ah, tut, tut, tut.

There's no need to apologize.

It happens to me all the time.

It's a crate.

It's not a trunk.

A crate, a trunk,
it's no matter.

The important
thing is we found it.

It's not to be shipped!

Oh, lady, your
memory's more stubborn

than any other case
I ever saw in me life.

But I'll have it out of here

before you can say...

Bring him over here.

Fancy meeting you here.

You're amazing.

No one else could have
gotten out alive like you did.

It was nothing.

The crate...

Getting ready to ship it out?

I'll bet I can guess the
route it's going to take.

An oceangoing vessel,
going where, Cluny?

Try Prussia.

I was born in Saarbruchen.

I owe allegiance
only to Prussia.

France was lucky enough to
be the first to isolate Franconium,

but Prussia will be the one
to exploit it for national good.

That explains a lot.

But what about your uncle?

Sentimental idiot.

He was for France, huh?

Where does, uh,
old Ironfoot fit in?

Let's just say he has
a talent for kicking.

Zeigen sie ihm ihren Fuesse.

Artificial legs.

A train accident.

And now I think there's
nothing left to talk about.

Everything's all
neat and tidied up,

is it not, Jim?

I can't think of anything else.

Use your gun.

You're not afraid of me.

You don't need a gun, do you?

Don't listen to him.

You're not going
to listen to her.

You're a man, aren't you?

Come on.

Shoot him!

Shoot him!

You're a dreamer, Cluny.

He isn't going to let anything
interfere with his pleasures.

Give me that gun.

I'll shoot him.

Take a look below you
when you get the chance.

Remember, I told you this
used to be a tanning factory.

It was a simple matter to
reactivate the tanning tank.

Corrosive lye...

And all of it for you when
he gets through with you.

You should have taken the
bullet when you had the chance.

My hair is perhaps
a bit out of place?

I have a smudge on my nose?

No. No, for a moment,

there was an
uncanny resemblance.

Please forgive me.

I am Cecile, the Consul-
General's secretary.

Oh, my name is...

James West.

I know.

May I?

I brought in the flowers and
the vase myself, Monsieur West.

Are you interested
in flowers, or a bomb?

I've lost my taste for flowers.

I never did care much for bombs.

Believe me, sir.

I have never even been to...

Nonsense.

You did a fascinating paper
on the libration of the moon.

How can you be so absent-minded?

All right.

The libration of the moon.

Monsieur.

I'm overcome with happiness
to be able to announce

that France's great
national treasure

has been recovered intact
for her and for the world.

Distinguished
guests, dear friends...

in this felicitous moment,

I must make a special
declaration of gratitude.

After the theater, supper at
Le Grange, and after that...

But there is my assistant.

I cannot leave her.

By a very fortunate coincidence,

I just happen to have

another pair of
theater tickets with me.

Hello.

The Yankee... formidable.
