Just make sure we keep it out
of the papers for at least 24 hours.

There hasn't been a word yet.
I think Roffe can handle it.

Yeah.

But I want us to get to
the bankers in New York,

before they hear what's happened.

Mr Williams will be at the airport
in 20 minutes. Thank you.

Mr Henley will be
waiting for you at Kennedy.

Yeah, well, tell him to have
Julius Prager stay behind to meet me.

Yes, sir.

- I brought you a copy of the will.
- Yeah, good.

This is going to be quite a shock to her.
She adored her father.

Yes. It's quite a shock to all of us.

These are difficult times.
Mr Roffe was not an old man.

He didn't expect to die for many years.
And if he had, I'm sure that he

would have put the control
in experienced hands.

Well, he didn't. Kate, notify the cousins.

Board meeting here in Zürich
in 24 hours. Okay?

Okay, Mr Williams.

Tell her we love her.

I can use that, thank you.

You're going to need an eight or a nine.

- Shit! Banco.
- Oh, Vivian.

200,000.

I've rounded off the figures, of course.

We're not shopkeepers,
are we, Sir Alec?

My dear Swinton, we're supposed to be.

Napoleon referred to us as a nation
of shopkeepers. You remember?

And we should be jolly proud of that,
as I keep reminding the nation

with monotonous regularity.

I liked your last talk on the telly.
The one against capital punishment.

- That's nice of you.
- I voted Labour myself.

But I always say, Sir Alec is
the voice of reason on the Tory side.

Thank you. That's very heartening.

Of course, I can't lay my hands on
that amount of cash just now.

Your mother was a Roffe.
What about your stock in the company?

There's the rub.
I can't sell that stock, nor transfer it.

None of us can. Unless, of course,
as we all hope, Roffe goes public.

Well, you'd better settle
up with Mr Swinton.

And fast.
Give my regards to your wife, Sir Alec.

Of course. And mine to Mrs Swinton.

Ta-ta.

- Sir Alec?
- Yes?

- Telephone message for you.
- Thank you.

Helene! Helene!

Why Charles, what are you doing here?
I though you didn't like blood sports.

- I don't!
- Well, they do.

- He's dead!
- I know.

He was a good driver with bad luck.
Now he's a dead driver.

No! No!

- Your cousin, Sam Roffe, is dead.
- Thank you!

Well, it took the son of a bitch
64 years to do it!

A Roffe! Of course, she inherits.

She's one of the Roffe family!

Oh, Charles.
I can't always do everything alone.

Come here please.

Well.

A woman's work is never done.

Are you trying to kill me?

And why not? You are the bastard!
Not my sons.

Ecco! Your high-and-mighty wife

gives you three horrible daughters,

all Italy sees on the
covers of the magazines!

Nice photo, huh? Look.

I give you three beautiful
sons and you have to hide!

I only love you, cara.

And our three sons, of course.

To hell with you and your love!

What are we supposed to live on,
my sons and I, huh?

Every time I come, "I promise you,
cara, carissima.

"Next time I bring you money."
Next time, more promises. Bastard!

My sons and I have
had your last promise.

- I truly love you.
- Love!

I am a mother! I truly love my children!
That's all!

They need the clothes! And the teeth!
They have your rabbit teeth.

I must straighten them.
Where's the money, stronzo? Where?

I'll get it soon! I promise you, Donatella.

Ivo, you bring me this money you
promise me or I swear, I go to your wife.

I tell her that these three thin and
ugly girls have three beautiful brothers,

whose teeth need fixing!

Donatella, I'll get the money. You'll see.

- When?
- I love you. I love you.

Oh, Ivo.

When do I get the money?

What do you mean,
you're downstairs, you idiot?

Telex?

Stop that, will you! What telex?

We're rich!

Bruno.

Papa!

Carlo!

Papa!

Dino!

Papa!

- Bruna.
- Papa.

- Carla.
- Papa.

- Dina.
- Papa.

Simonetta.

Simonetta.

- I have something to tell you.
- My eyes, do they tell you nothing?

- Wonderful news.
- What's the matter?

- Yes, my foot.
- Your foot?

Yes, something that
will give us real money.

So that I can take
you away from all this.

So that I can give the children
a decent home. A proper upbringing.

Later.

What's wrong, honey?

Nothing. I'm too excited.

- What's wrong with your back?
- My back?

Nothing. Simonetta.

Ivo, I warn you.

I may look like an Italian wife,
but I'm not! I'm half-Italian!

And I'm half-Greek
and the other half is Roffe!

That means
that I'm not half a wife, but all.

But surely, my love...

And I don't share my husband
with anyone! Let me see your back!

- Show me your back!
- Shame on you!

At a time like this
when Sam Roffe is dead.

Here. Use my glasses.

- Sad, sad.
- Very sad. For everybody.

For everybody, yes.

All those short-term loans.

You know, Rhys,
in the past few months,

Sam committed himself to
$500 million worth.

Actually, Mr Henley, it was $650 million.

In very short-term loans.

Mr Williams.

That puts quite a burden
on the company.

Then it's quite a company.

Sixty factories. Ten research centres.

In the U.S. alone, you have
several heavy lawsuits against you.

In Latin America, there is sabotage.

This is a bad time for all
those loans to come due.

It will put quite a burden on the cousins.

We've solved problems before.

Who is the new president?

You?

I'm not a member of the Roffe family.

I'm on the board, but I don't have a vote.

Elizabeth?

- You mean she has control?
- Yeah, that's right.

- Jesus.
- In this case, go public. Fast!

Release the company stock.

Pay off the loans!

- It's under consideration.
- Do it quickly, Mr Williams.

We're not gonna panic.

Excuse me, gentlemen.
I'm on my way to see the new president.

- This is it.
- Thank you.

Miss Roffe?

Rhys!

Sam?

I can't feel anything.
That's what's so awful.

It's like anaesthetic.
I suppose it'll wear off.

Sam.

I always wanted to call him father
but he liked to be called Sam.

I suppose he liked me.

I loved him.

And that's no guarantee, is it?

I was born a girl.
That was my original sin.

My brother was the apple of his eye.
When he died, I tried to take his place.

I didn't succeed.

Then I got married.
And that didn't succeed either.

Well, he was old
enough to be your father.

That's what I had in mind.

But Sam was not impressed

and neither was I.

- I can't see it.
- What's that?

The coal dust.

You told me
once a man's worked in the pits,

the coal dust's
always there, remember?

It's still there, under the skin.

Thinking about Zürich, aren't you?

Don't worry about it. Look at this.

I see it.

Long life, fame, fortune.

You're gonna take your father's place.

The cousins are going to do exactly
what you want them to do.

Terrific future.

Oh, God!

All right, gentlemen.

Please let the lady...
Let Miss Roffe through.

She'll make a statement

later.

Here. Something to hold on to.

Kate, it's so good to have you around.

Remember, the cousins are just people.

It's just people that terrify me.
Particularly cousins.

I'll tell you what you do.

You go in there, and you look them
squarely in the eye

and you think of them sitting around
the board table in their underwear.

The trouble is, most of them would
look absolutely gorgeous.

Welcome.

Well, now that we're all here,
why don't we begin?

Elizabeth, you'll find that
politicians are very fond of saying,

"Why don't we begin?"

It gives them a sense of motion.

Kate? Would you care to join us?

We have no chairman.
I suggest that Alec chair the meeting.

I suggest that

we dispense with the usual formalities.
We've all suffered a terrible loss.

Elizabeth,

we have agreed amongst ourselves
as to a plan of action.

We've agreed that the first thing that
we must do...

Rhys, have you got that document?
Thank you.

Roffe goes public.

We put all our shares
onto the open market.

That will pay off all
the outstanding bank loans

and still leave each of us
enough money to exist.

Our banker friends are not at all kind.
In fact, they are like wolves.

They smell blood, and we must feed
them something now.

If I sign these,

exactly what happens?

Well, what exactly happens,
my dear, is...

We get a brokerage house to
underwrite the stock issue.

An excellent consortium.
Headed by Julius Prager.

I'm sure.

But then it'll be their company, not ours.

Ford went public.

You can't say that Henry and family
are not still quite active.

And we could all still be on the board
if we wanted to.

It's a very, very good idea.
Sam would have liked it, I know.

But last February, it was proposed
to the board that Roffe go public.

And the board rejected the plan. Why?

Because every member
of the family must agree.

Who didn't agree?

Sam. But it was not at all like this.

Your father was as stubborn
as he was brilliant.

I also think that he could have saved
the company.

I even think that he was probably right

to say no to the rest of us last February.

But Sam is gone.

And without Sam, it's better to let
these people with the black suits

and the Swiss haircuts
worry about things

you and I don't begin to understand.

That's a good point.

No.

At least not now.

I want to understand just what
is involved and I don't, yet.

Well, I think Elizabeth is right.

It's a very tough decision that she
has to make. I think she

really needs some time to find out
exactly what she's letting herself in for.

So, Rhys,
since you're the technician here,

I suggest that you see Elizabeth
over the plant

- and let her see some of our problems.
- Gladly.

Three hundred scientists
from every university.

Two Nobel Prize winners.

Only more of the same.
I want to show you something else.

Just in here we make
ten million pills a day.

That makes 360,000,000 a year.

No, 3,650,000,000.

Oh, no.

- These experiments save a lot of lives.
- But not puppies' lives.

That's right.

It's a cruel world, isn't it?

We start with empty plastic tubes.

Send them through about 15 processes.

Here we label them.

And here we fill them up with pills.

There they put the tops on.

Careful.

They go right down here,
where they fold the instructions

and the tube is placed
in its own individual box.

The individual box goes into
a package of 12.

The 12 packages go into one big carton.

The name is Roffe.

This should impress the bankers.

Are you crazy?
It's the million-dollar-loss room.

Yes. What Sam used to call
the lose-your-shirt-room.

Come over here.
I want you to see something.

Botulism.

Last year, there were only 25 cases
in the whole United States.

But we keep the serum in stock anyway.
Costs us millions.

- I think that's fair.
- We also give it free to hospitals.

- I like that.
- Yeah? The bankers don't.

And all that from one plant.

And don't forget, we've got 59 others.

It's funny, you know.

All this is a strange new world.

A world Sam, for some reason or
other, wanted to keep away from me.

Perhaps he thought
it would be too difficult.

Too tough for a woman.
Sam could be right.

This company's as big
as General Motors.

Yeah, that's right.

And to think of me running it.
I'd have to be mad.

Not necessarily.

For a start,
here's some homework for you.

Terenia is to marry the rabbi.

No! Terenia is going to marry me.

You want Terenia to spend the rest of
her life married to a pedlar?

I won't always be.
If after six months,

I can't offer Terenia the kind of life she
should have, I'll never see her again.

Please.

All right. Six months.

Some time ago,

I tried to develop a serum. I took
the blood of a patient with diphtheria

and injected the blood into a horse.
The horse died.

Nothing more?
You didn't try it again?

- Horses are expensive.
- I'd have gone on.

That's because you're young.

- Kate, have you seen this?
- Good morning.

Rhys gave it to me last night.

- Your father used to keep it in the office.
- When's the next board meeting?

- Tomorrow. Tuesday.
- Cancel it. I want to go to Krakow.

Poland? This time of the year?

That must be the gate.

Steady!

I swear to God,
I'm not going to live my life like this.

Inside ghetto walls like an animal.

And what's more,
I'm going to marry you, Terenia!

But Father will never allow it.

Yes, he will,
because I'm going to be a doctor, too.

Samuel.

I can see I made a mistake.

You begged me
for a chance to work here

- and I listened to you.
- Sir.

Hear me carefully.
You can never be a doctor.

Not in our world.

Only three of us are allowed to
practise in the ghetto.

It means there is no chance for you.

Because you were born at the wrong
time, in the wrong place, Samuel Roffe.

Sam! Come here, you lazy,
no-good son of mine!

Come on!

Your mother and father are right.

Wherever we went, I'd still be a pedlar.

- I don't care.
- I do.

Don't you see?

You need me more than ever now,
when your father might be dying.

How is he?

- He's still very, very sick.
- Well, don't worry.

Your father's a strong man.
And he's built up resistance.

The other doctor says there's no hope.

Terenia. Listen to me.
Do exactly as I say.

Get me a handkerchief.
One of your father's. One he's used.

Handle it carefully. It'll be full of germs.
But it's what I want.

Come on now, Lottie. Be a brave girl.

You're making medical history.

- No.
- Mama, please.

Any better?

Sam? Sam?

- What happened?
- Come on!

- What?
- Quickly!

I'd like you

to have this.

So, from one small medicine chest

came the whole
of Roffe's family fortune.

And it says in the book that he opened
a small apothecary shop,

and then a whole chain of
shops with his brothers.

But they never took a partner.

"No matter how friendly the fox,"
he used to say,

"Never let him into your henhouse.

"Sooner or later,
foxes get hungry."

I've decided.

I've decided not to sell.

Oh.

I have such a headache!

We're supposed to be
in Forte dei Marmi

right now with my daughters,
whose teeth need fixing.

Our daughters have perfect teeth.

- Yes, yes, that's true. Perfect.
- Ivo, do you mind?

I think it's perfectly clear to all of us,

that Roffe needs
an experienced president.

Particularly now, with so many complex
labour and financial problems.

I wouldn't want to face it.

And you might say that this is my line
of business. I mean, government.

So, I cannot imagine,
my dear Elizabeth,

why you should wish to involve yourself.

I mean, all you have to do is to step
aside with immense fortune.

Elizabeth,

you're a very, very beautiful woman.
The whole world is yours.

Why do you want to make yourself
a slave to this dull business,

when you could be on a lovely
yacht, with a lovely man,

visiting the Greek islands,
seeing all the world?

I've seen all the world, Simonetta.

Elizabeth, I worked with Sam.

In fact, I'm running
the French branch with Charles.

I know this business. And I know
the state it's in, almost facing collapse.

You are simply not
competent to manage our affairs.

My wife does not exaggerate.
There was the explosion in Chile.

There are lawsuits
against us in nine countries.

And in Italy, we have strikes
in Milano, sabotage in Palermo.

The Norwegian government has asked
us to pay for the de-pollution of a river.

That was already polluted.

Roffe will pay its share.
Some 18% of the total.

But if you don't sell now, the consortium
will lose interest and walk away,

- and then, when the loans come due...
- Charles, please, I'm sorry.

I've made up my mind.

What do we do?

We do what the lady wants us to do.

Thank you, Rhys.

There is one more thing.
As I am taking my father's place,

we might make it official.

Elizabeth, you really want to become
president of Roffe?

Yes, I do.

Inspector Max Hornung of
the Zürich Criminal Police.

- That's from Sam's accident, isn't it?
- How did you know that?

I read the newspapers, Simonetta,
without moving my lips.

Children. Children.

Inspector? What about the body?

Have you located the guide?

The rope.

- It was cut by the rocks, no?
- No.

The rope was cut

by a bullet.

Tell me, Inspector,
have you made a lab test?

Yes, madam.

Traces of lead.

But this is...

Murder.

The inspector said he
had to use a helicopter.

But even so, how did he ever find where
the bullet scratched the rock?

We could ask the guide that,
couldn't we?

Stupid son of a bitch!

What are you trying to do? Kill her?

We were so very
sorry about your father.

- He was such a fine man.
- Thank you.

The police took all
of Mr Roffe's belongings.

I know your messenger was
disappointed when I told him so.

But the law is the law, I said.

- And there's nothing to be done.
- I didn't send a messenger.

- Did you send anyone?
- No.

- Did Mr Roffe's guide stay here, too?
- Yes.

I don't want to say
it was anyone's fault, but, well...

I don't think he knew our mountains.

- He was not from our village.
- What was his name?

Hans Bergmann. From Hammesback.
Ten kilometres from here.

They make cheese.

Thank you.

- Do you know him?
- Hans Bergmann? Nein.

- Adolf, kennst du diesen Mann?
- No, I don't know him.

Thank you.

- You got to my father's things first.
- Yes.

I was afraid Hans Bergmann
might have stolen the suitcase.

You broke into Mr Roffe's case?

No. It wasn't necessary.

The combination was incredibly simple.

Have you played that?

No, he couldn't have. It's scrambled.

The only way you can sort it out is on
my play-back.

- There's no code we can't break.
- May I?

Mr Roffe is her father!

- But I'm her inspector.
- Thank you, Inspector.

You're welcome.

I think you will find it interesting,
Miss Roffe.

I did.

Good day.

- Too clever by half.
- He's my inspector.

- Do you want to listen to that?
- No. I'm not up to it.

Call the cousins' club and tell them
I'm going to Sardinia.

To the villa. And tell Mr Williams, too.

What about the bankers?

They're like Chinese torture.
I hate bankers.

Tell Mr Williams to put them
off for a week.

Just one week, that's all I ask.

Right. Let's go.

In addition to further
information on Sir Alec Nichols,

computers will need
programming on business activities

of Charles Martin
of the French Roffe family.

Also, on Ivo Palazzi's financial
difficulties with Rome banks, waiting.

Good night, all.

Your father used to say Sardinia
was so convenient.

Just one hour from the office.

I used to stay here alone. I didn't mind.

- The sea and the air and...
- The wind. The mosquitoes.

I couldn't get the cook
on such short notice,

so we're on our own.
What will you have for dinner?

- I didn't know you could cook.
- I can't.

- Neither can I. Aren't we lucky?
- Well, I always let the man cook.

They're happiest in the kitchen,
you know.

Born homemakers.

Well, let's have a semi-raw dinner then.

I have a hunch he taped
this just before he died.

The last in a series that... Ready?

We put $50 million into
developing four product areas.

So what happens?
In each area, our competitors beat us

by applying for the patents
before we do.

I can accept one isolated case.

But four? In a period of three months?
Not possible.

Fact. Someone at Roffe gave
or sold highly secret

research material
to four competitive firms.

Fact. Some son of a bitch
is methodically

attempting to damage,
if not destroy, Roffe.

That person, or persons,
has got top security clearance.

That means, that whoever it is belongs
to the highest echelon of Roffe.

Why?

One good motive is this: to force me
to let the company go public.

Since I can't trust anyone on
the board, including the cousins,

I'll have to trap the bastard myself.
I think I know who it is.

Someone in the
highest echelon of Roffe?

Hello? Yes. She's here.

It's Inspector Hornung.
He's now at Geneva. At Interpol.

Hello, Inspector?

Yes, I've just been listening to it.

It's very interesting.

I am now feeding the computers,
and if I may say so,

they are better than the little grey
cells of any human detective.

They'll tell us who murdered your father.

So my father was murdered.

No mistake. No.

And let me tell you something
else about your family.

Just listen to this!

Sir Alec's cheques are
all made out to bearer.

Sir Alec owns one Rolls Royce,
one Bentley.

- One Morris.
- No, no, no, no.

Did I forget something?

- Where are the automotive bills?
- No automotive bills.

Bravo, boy. In that case,

Sir Alec must be very clever with
his hands, and I want to know

about the Beaumont Club in London.

Owner, Jon Swinton. Three arrests.
Assault. Two convictions.

And here's another one now for 22 thou.

Look, Sir Alec doesn't have
the money right now.

He's in the 90% tax bracket,
and he just can't pay you

- just at this moment, that's all.
- Yes?

- What about his stock in Roffe?
- Yeah.

He can't touch it! I already told you.

Right. I'm coming down.

Trouble with some Arabs at table seven.

Oh, no, my dear.

- You'll have to do better than that.
- You bastard.

Tell me. Roffe. That's a really
big drug company, isn't it?

International, too. Lots of outlets.

Legitimate. Respectable. Morphine.

Morphine.

He could never do anything like that.

No.

People who don't pay up

end with their knees nailed to the floor.

Hello, my dear.

How were you in
Parliament today, darling?

I was dreadful. Rambling. Distracted.

Well, I don't understand
why you're so against...

I'll take that, thank you.

I don't understand why you're so
against capital punishment.

I mean, after all, the one thing
the Tory party really stands for is...

Vivian.

£80,000 more?
Why in God's name didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to ruin your speech.

You've ruined
a great deal more than that.

I have to stand there with these two
bastards puffing their cigar smoke

in my face and waving
this big packet of IOUs.

Don't you realise that I don't
have that sort of money?

But you have me.

Yes. I have you.

For richer, for poorer. Until death us...

And speaking of death. Do you realise
what these people are capable of?

And that's just one part of the family.

I'm still working on the rest.

I'll fly tomorrow to Sardinia
and tell you all I know.

Thank you, Inspector.
I'll be at the airport to meet you.

Good night.

He still doesn't say who did it.

He discovered a pattern, he says.

Whatever that is.

Sounds like wallpaper, doesn't it?

Max, you're going to
overcharge the computers!

You are using enough
power to light up two cities!

Is it really necessary?

Arrested for assault at what age?

Twenty-eight. Served Regina Churly
Prison. Worked in machine shop.

Sentence reduced.
Good behaviour and family money.

Latest bills from Bulgari and Gucci.
Utility bills.

Tuition fees for six schoolchildren.

Damn her!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Papa! Papa! Papa!
- Boys, don't let him touch you!

Donatella! I told you.
You must never come to this place.

- I came to see your wife.
- But you know better than to do that.

How you going to stop me?
If I don't see her today,

- I'll see her tomorrow.
- You...

- You will have your money.
- You've said that for the last time.

I told you, you will have
your goddamn money.

$1 million in four or five days time!

Four!

Goodbye, Papa! Papa! Goodbye, Papa!

I'm telling you,

never come back here again!

Married eight years. Children none.
Helene, three times divorced.

Maiden name, Roffe.

Account with Julius Prager's private
bank in Zürich.

Prager! Excellent!

And now let's go back to Charles Martin
and his mysterious partner.

Does the partner hold the same

security number as Martin?

Congratulations!
You are brilliant this morning!

Double social security numbers.

That's considered a crime,
even in France.

Their company. What does it do?

Capitalisation?

Where did Charles Martin get
his share of money?

Borrowed.

Is the vineyard profitable?

No. It has failed.

I represent your partner.

Good morning.

Rare?

Very.

Dead?

Almost.

Will you take a coffee?

- You owe my client a lot of money.
- Yes.

I know the exact amount.

I am also a lawyer
and the law moves slowly.

My client doesn't.

Your client knows that if I go to
jail, he and his friends will go with me.

They've no intention of going to jail.
You won't either.

They've plans for you.

- You really believe you can frighten me?
- Yes.

You are now like that
beetle when I first came in.

Almost dead.

I see.
As you know, I can't get the full amount

until the matter of
the Roffe stock is settled.

To avoid the beetle's fate,

what interim payment will they accept?

Tomorrow.

Noon.

I want to examine that bill from
the Paris sports shop.

- The one with the...
- Size of boots, 36 A.

A woman's size?

Positive. Also a small man's.

Helene was a pretty
good mountain climber.

If that computer reads Paris Match,

he'd see a picture of her
climbing the Matterhorn.

- How did you get in here?
- I work for Roffe.

Yes.

Rhys Edward Williams was born in
Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

- Male, 41 years of age. Unmarried.
- Well, what do you know?

An executive officer of
Roffe Pharmaceuticals.

A London savings account
with a balance of £25.

A checking account with an average
balance of £800.

A safe-deposit box in Zürich.
Contents unknown.

All major charge
accounts and credit cards.

Many of the items purchased
were for women.

No criminal record.
Employed at Roffe for nine years.

Not enough.

Not nearly enough, Mr Rhys Williams.

Whoever he is, he is hiding
inside the computers.

Do you want me to meet the inspector?

No, thanks. You stay
and cook one of your raw dinners.

Inspector Hornung is waiting for me
at the airport... Alec.

- Hush.
- Oh, my God, Alec.

It's all right. You've had an accident
but you're all right.

- I've spoken to the doctor.
- It wasn't an accident.

- The brakes were tampered with.
- But why?

- Who would do a thing like that?
- I don't know.

Alec, you got here fast.

My dear fellow, not fast enough.

- What about the police?
- I've already called them.

I'm going to go and check the jeep.

Well, let's look on the bright side.

This was only an attempted murder.

The other one was...

Letters to sign.
And the bankers would like to meet

tomorrow morning at 10:00
if that's all right.

Kate, we've got 300 scientists
working full-time.

By the law of averages, one of them
should be near a breakthrough.

You want to give the bankers
good news tomorrow.

That's exactly what I want to do.
And that's what I'm going to do.

Even if there isn't any.

You sound just like your father.

You haven't seen anything yet.

I think you should have a little chat
with Dr Joeppli.

Who is Dr Joeppli?

Emile Joeppli. A Nobel Prize winner.

Your father always called him
the house genius.

Listen, I'm not a scientist.

Could you just tell me
simply what you've done?

Miss Roffe, I have discovered
how to retard the ageing process.

There is no reason why
the average person

can't live to be 100, 150 years old.

I've been doing tests with animals
for the last four years.

Recent results are all positive.

Please.

I'm already testing with human beings.

Twenty years ago, if I told you a woman
could take a pill

to prevent having a baby,
would you have believed me?

Go on.

If it hadn't been for your father,
for his faith in me,

I couldn't ever have found
the key to a longer life.

Does anyone else know?

Mr Roffe wanted complete secrecy.

I reported only to him
and to one other officer of the company.

- Which officer?
- Mr Rhys Williams.

From now on I want you
to report directly to me and only to me.

Yes, Miss Roffe.

How soon can we have this
on the market?

18 months.

I want it on the market
12 months from today.

It's terribly urgent.

I'll do my best.

You know I admired your father.

So did I.

You're very like him.

I know. It's a surprise, isn't it?

I can see how they kept you
hidden away all these years.

Sure you'll find your way back?

Right, then left and the elevator
is straight ahead. Good night.

Good night.

Inspector? I need help.

I need your total recall.

A river patrol just fished a girl
out of the water.

There was sexual intercourse before
death, which was by strangulation.

No fingerprints.
She was then dumped in the river.

You recognise her?

No.

- You want some?
- No, thank you. On the rocks for me.

The Swiss are always on time.
A depressing characteristic.

They look like they've come to a funeral.

Elizabeth's, not ours.

Yes, they will not extend
any of the loans. That's very clear.

And Roffe will go public at last.

And we will be very, very happy
and very, very rich.

Gentlemen, we're here to talk about
money so I'll come straight to the point.

I want you to extend
all your outstanding loans to Roffe

for the same rate of interest
for the period of one year.

Why?

First, we have new management.

And I think you should extend to me
the courtesy you would to my father.

You made money with him
and you'll make it with me.

Roffe is about to reveal a new product,

which our projections show, will outsell
any drug on the market today.

What?

I'm sorry Herr Prager
but I can't say anything more.

But I promise you
that it will be the biggest innovation

in the history of this business.

And I don't need to tell you
that we'll be looking for financing

on the largest scale.

Miss Roffe, could I have a word with you
in private?

Ladies and gentlemen.

Not even your father
would have tried this sort of...

- Bluff?
- Yes.

No, Herr Prager. We have the product.

- You do?
- Yes, we do.

I told Mr Williams in New York to sell.
You're inexperienced.

This is a complex business.

True.

That's why I want Mr Williams
to be president.

But he can't. He's not a Roffe. He's...

But he's a bachelor.

Do it then.

But soon.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Miss Roffe has persuaded me
that a delay with penalty interest,

of course, will do no harm.

For my part I'm willing to agree
to a 90-day extension.

- Say that again.
- Just a business arrangement.

Prager is willing to extend our loans
if you take over as president.

And the only way for you to do that is
to marry a member of the family.

I seem to be the only one available.

Don't worry.
It wouldn't have to be a real marriage.

I mean you would be free
to come and go and...

Or whatever.

Rhys,

would you do me the courtesy
of responding to my offer?

This is all so sudden.

Well, why not?

You'll be president of the company,

but the voting control of the stock
remains in my hands.

- But if I'm running the company...
- And you will be.

...then the controlling stock...

Stays in my name. I never want it sold.

But other than that,
you're in complete control.

Do I have lipstick on my tooth?

No, I was just thinking
how like Sam Roffe you are.

- Is it getting to be a problem?
- No. Just the opposite.

I think I like the idea of getting married.

Then say when.

When.

- Alec?
- My darling.

What a perfect place for a honeymoon
except for the mosquitoes,

- and the awful food.
- Well, I'm going to miss those joys.

Aren't you staying?

- Kate and I have to go to Zürich tonight.
- How tragic.

Prager is giving me dinner.

Let me tell you something about men.
Never let him out of your sight.

Also look for the scars,
especially on the back.

That's the giveaway.

- Ivo?
- Yes, my little, tender darling.

Inspector Hornung.

- Would you like some champagne?
- No, I don't drink. Thank you.

Family?

According to my father, one of them is
deliberately trying to ruin the company.

And when my father got in his
or her way, my father was murdered.

And whoever it was
tried to murder me, too.

You said you played the tape?

The late Mr Roffe's secretary,
this Miss Kate Erling, she heard it, too?

Oh, yes, but it's not Kate.
My father trusted her completely.

Could I have the tape? The original?

- It's evidence.
- I have it upstairs.

It's gone.

Elizabeth?
It's time to get ready for Zürich.

- You're a sex fiend.
- I know.

I can't help it.
It's like being double-jointed.

Darling, do take off that wretched shirt
and come back to bed.

Helene, I'm not Charles.

And I'm not Elizabeth.

You and I have had a wonderful time.

Yes, we've had a wonderful time.
We still could have a wonderful time.

I'm married now.

So am I. We have so much in common.

Well you made it, Rhys.

The easy way by marrying
the boss's daughter.

All those years of being Sam's shadow
paid off.

"Very, very nicely,"
as Simonetta would say.

Sam was good to me. I owe him a lot.

Do you? Do you really?

Yeah, that's right.

Elizabeth is tough.
She won't let you sell her stock.

It's hers. Not mine.

It could be yours.

Yeah? How?

She's an unlucky driver.

Pretty dress.

It's wasted
on this bunch of Swiss bankers.

Pity you couldn't cancel.

I'm glad about you and Rhys.

- Are you, Kate?
- Yes. It makes sense.

Most things don't.

Well, I never thought I'd spend
my wedding night with you, Kate.

The boss is coming.

Jesus Christ, straight up!
It's going to crash!

First my father.

And now Kate instead of me.

If I hadn't come back for these.

Your own security people,

did they make any effort
to change your daily pattern?

No.

Take different routes to the office?

No.

I see.

You told me that one of the people

in that house in Sardinia
was trying to kill you.

I agree with you.

I also think we'll know very soon
who it is.

The computers are suddenly
very interesting.

The heat is on the killer.

Another day or two,
we'll know for sure who it is.

Sir Alec, Ivo, Helene, Charles.

Come in, Charles, dear.

Sit down.

This man is a jeweller.
He says he knows you.

If there is one thing that I know,

it's the difference between what's fake
and what's real.

You're a lawyer, Charles.

You know the usual sentence
for grand larceny is 20 years.

You also know the usual French prison

is filled with the relatives of all
those poor little beetles you've killed.

And worse.

Get out.

Yes, of course.
I understand, Madame Martin.

Would you like me
to save you, Charles?

Please. After all, I'm married to a Roffe.

And I want controlling interest in Roffe.

Yes, but Elizabeth will never sell.

Then, unless you want to spend
the next 20 years of your life in prison,

you will do exactly what I tell you,
when I tell you.

- Is that understood?
- Yes. Yes.

So you can see Charles
is deep in trouble.

Good.

But then Ivo has big problems, too.

And don't think
he's just a friendly clown.

This is a hard man.
A man who has been jailed for violence.

Dina... Dina, Carla, come,
we'll play over there.

Come, cara, come.
We'll play at the top of the stairs.

Come on, run.

Why are we running?

Whoever gets up there first gets a prize.
A big prize!

Go to the right! Go to the right,
there's a big surprise there!

- Wait, wait.
- Leave it.

- Quick, this way!
- Ivo, what's the surprise?

Up there! Up, up.

Quickly.

You stay here.

- I'm exhausted, can we rest a minute?
- Yes.

You've all won first prize.
Ice cream at the bar.

- Who's missing?
- There are only three of us.

Oh, silly Mama.

She's there! It's time we met.

You'll have your money within 24 hours.

Don't push me too far, Donatella.

Wait for me.

Looking for this, Sir Alec?

How did you get in here?

I told the porter you were expecting me.

I need more time.

I thought your little cousin
was going to sell the stock.

I thought you told Michaels that...

I thought so, too,
but she's changed her mind.

Then you're gonna have to change it
back for her, aren't you?

I've tried but I can't.

We'll settle for morphine.

No, that's impossible.

I mean, I wouldn't know how.

Then it looks as though
I'm gonna have to teach you how.

Doctor? For Christ's sake,
what's happened?

No, sir. Please sir, no, no.

I got an anonymous call
there had been an accident.

When I got here I found Lady Nichols.

Her knees had been nailed to the floor
with spikes.

Oh, God.

She's heavily sedated.

My darling.

Any one of them could have done it.

Sir Alec, Ivo, and Charles, Helene.

And Mr Williams.

Your father's guide was not a guide.

I know.

Did Mr Williams tell you that?

Yes.

Did Mr Williams tell you

that there was someone other than
the guide with your father?

Rhys?

Hello?

You wouldn't believe it.

I was just about to switch off
the telephone and get some sleep.

Of course I'm glad you called.

Paris? Oh, Rhys, I'd love it.

There's more champagne.
Where's your glass?

By the side of the bed.

Last drop. Lucky.

Yes, lucky.

Going out?

On business?

I have a lot to tell you tomorrow.

But Charles is family.

Well, maybe he feels like a hired in-law.

No matter what Helene thinks,
Charles is our whole French operation.

And if he quits
with everything he knows,

he'll go right to our competitors
and sell us out.

Makes you wonder
if there's anyone you can trust.

Max Hornung says you were
in Garmisch with my father.

That's right.

I left the day before
he went up to make that climb.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's something I couldn't discuss
with anyone.

I had proof Roffe was being sabotaged.

I wanted Sam to bring in
an outside investigator.

Sam asked me to meet him
in Chamonix.

He agreed to bring in
that outside investigator.

We also agreed not to mention
our suspicions to anyone.

I left. Sam was killed.

The report I left with him vanished.

Sam destroyed it.

He dictated his own version
of what you said.

Max Hornung gave me the tape.

You heard it?

And you kept it from me?

I didn't have much choice.
Somebody stole it.

Jesus.

Now look, Liz,
I didn't tell you a lot of things

because I thought you'd be in danger.

Now, that was probably a mistake
because now you're in danger anyway.

Like me.

But I think it's about time
we joined forces.

That we started trusting,
I mean really trusting each other.

I don't believe it.
I don't believe a word of it.

Well, under American law,
we're obliged

to list all bribes paid out
during the past 10 years.

Whatever I may have done,
I did for the company.

You'll have to prove it.

I think it's up to you to prove
I bribed anyone.

Charles, I have taped conversations,
signed receipts,

and the testimony
of a government official.

- Let's go.
- Hey, wait a minute.

You can't walk out
and leave me like this.

I think you're confused.
You're the one who's leaving.

If I go, you'll ruin me.

That's right, Charles,
it's exactly what I plan to do.

And if I stay?

Well, what the American government
doesn't know,

the American government doesn't know.

You're a killer.
There were no tapes were there?

Don't ever do anything like that to me,
will you?

Okay?

- Tell Mr Martin I want to talk to him.
- He's gone, madame.

- Well, then when he's back.
- He's left, madame.

Yes, madame, he said he's never
coming back. And don't try to find him.

- Dani, how are you?
- Rhys, how are you?

Rhys, chéri, viens.

Excuse me, will you, honey.

Merci.

Sorry about that. Old friend. Past.

She looks more like the present
and the future.

What is this? Jealousy?

I can't tell yet.
Remember when we were here before?

I'd just left my husband
and you were still Sam's apprentice.

Apprentice.

He called me in
and said he was flying to Nairobi.

Said, "Elizabeth's meeting me
at Maxim's. You take my place."

I was terrified.

I thought you were
the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.

Did you?

Guess who?

Liz.

Liz!

Liz!

Liz? Where the hell are you going? Liz?

Liz, we've got to talk.

Liz, I'm sorry.

I used to know the lady.
She's in the business.

That part is clear to the naked eye.

Now, Liz, listen to me. Listen to me.
God damn it! Stop!

Now, we're gonna have to
straighten this out right now.

How? With taped conversations
and signed receipts?

I've led a full life. I don't deny it.

But we're not gonna make
much of a team

if you start acting like a neurotic bitch.

Get out of my way.

What do you want me to do?
You want me to say I love you?

You really and truly are
a perfect bastard.

I thought you figured that all the time.

That's why you asked me to marry you,
isn't it?

You wanted control of the company.
Well, you got it through me.

Don't walk away from me.
Don't ever walk away from me again!

Let go!

What's the matter with you, Liz?

Can't you tell?

Isn't it hideously plain to the naked eye
I'm in love with you?

Jesus.

I thought I'd die
when you left me last night.

I had to get that proof about Charles.

Darling, you never told me
anything about it.

Let's go back to the hotel.

It's too far.

I don't understand. Why me?

Well, as you are already
in the middle of this Roffe affair,

we took the liberty
of getting you over here.

What's this about a film?

So far, the only lead into the
snuff murders is Roffe film stock.

It comes from the Roffe factory
in Belgium.

- Snuff film?
- Come and see for yourself.

Normal porno stuff. But wait.

Dead, very dead. No play-acting.

You must have a strong stomach
to want to see that sort of thing.

- Probably very sick.
- And very, very kinky.

Still, I can think of one or two Roffes
who might qualify.

Perhaps we could go to our friends,

talk to them
and get them busy finding out

who bought that particular batch of film
from Roffe.

- Friends?
- Yeah.

My very best friends.

Here's more.

You see the same film stock
went to Portugal,

London, Rome, Hamburg
and now Paris.

Thank you.

It's you. Come in.

Mrs Williams doesn't want
anyone to know what I'm doing.

But that wouldn't include you, of course.

Yes, I can see.

Is anybody hurt?

Oh, my God!

Have you told Mr Williams?

What do you mean
you can't find Mr Williams?

Fire the security department!

- That's 65 people.
- I want every one of them out of here.

- But Prager just...
- I don't care about Prager!

How did Prager and the newspapers
get the Joeppli story before you?

What did you want to tell me anyway?

At least five of your relatives

are capable of every move
that's been made so far.

And I include among the five
your husband.

Actually, Mrs Williams,
my computers tell me

almost nothing about Mr Williams.

Where is he?

I don't know. I just don't know.

Well, I'd better get on my way to Rome.

Ivo?

Yes. I will start with him.

You will have a 24-hour-a-day
police protection.

What's the point?

Sixty-five guards couldn't save Joeppli.

He was careless.

So, apparently, am I.

I've been trying to reach you.

Fog at London airport.
Had to take a train.

I am exhausted.

Yes, all these ghastly things,
one after another.

I can't take any more of it.

Where's Rhys?

I don't know.

Inspector Hornung is off to Rome.

That's not very clever.
Ivo is obviously not guilty.

He's the first person that Sam
and I checked out.

You and Sam?

Well, Sam and I were on the trail
of whoever was...

I should say,
is sabotaging the company.

Thank you, darling. Sam hired
an investigator who turned in a report.

As a matter of fact,
Sam took it with him to Garmisch.

And he discussed it with me
over the phone,

which is something
that I'd never do normally.

Do you think Sam might have told Rhys
about the report?

Heavens, no.

That would be self-defeating,
wouldn't it?

I don't know.

I've just got to get away from here.

You know what you ought to do, love?

You ought to take a few days off
and go down to Sardinia.

I may join you later.

Yes, Mr Williams?

Call Inspector Hornung in Rome and tell
him to meet Mrs Williams in Sardinia.

It's urgent. Very urgent!

Yes?

This is security, Mrs Williams.
Mr Williams is on the way up to you.

- And Sir Alec?
- He just left.

Welcome to Sardinia,
Mrs Williams. Please.

We were a bit worried about you.

The Swiss police asked us to
look after you.

- Please.
- Thank you. I'm going to the villa.

- I'd like someone there.
- There'll be someone, don't worry.

I'll stay overnight, if you don't mind.
We'll send a radio car in the driveway.

No one will be able to get in the villa.

Let's go now.

- Let's go.
- It's very cold.

Has there been any news
of my husband?

No.

It's going to be bad weather.

We're in for a scirocco.
Do you know what that means?

The children's wind. I don't know why.

You stay in the car
while I check the house.

Carabinieri headquarters?
Get me the duty officer.

Tell him Major Campagna.

Yes.

Hello? Major Campagna speaking.
We are in the villa.

I'm leaving a police car in the driveway.
Near the gate, of course.

What's happened to you?

Are you all right? Come here. Sit down.
Sit down.

I'm sorry.

I'm not usually this fragile.

You are doing very well.

Brandy helps.

Don't worry.

There will be a man outside on
guard duty all night. I sleep downstairs.

I suggest you go up to bed.
Try to get some sleep.

Sleep.

Maybe I will get a little rest.

You'll feel better.

- Have a good sleep.
- Thank you.

Campagna?

Campagna?

Campagna?

It's the storm.
The lines have been all down.

Hey!

Are you the man who is flying me
to Sardinia?

- Yes.
- Good.

I just flew somebody there.
That storm is pretty bad.

Who was the person you just took?

An American.
Williams, named Williams.

Now make it look like an accident!

Elizabeth!

Alec?

You can make it, old girl! Hold on!

Don't look down! Just let yourself slide!

Liz, don't move! He's gonna kill you!

Elizabeth, he's the one
who's been trying to get you.

Don't listen to him.

Stay where you are!
The firemen are on their way!

- Which one do I cover?
- I don't know. I don't know.

Alec killed your father! He killed Kate!
He planted the cassette on me!

We're Roffes, Elizabeth!
We're the same bloodline, you and I!

He's the fox in the henhouse!

Liz, be careful!

Liz, don't go to him!

Don't panic! Let yourself go!

For God's sake, listen to me!

Alec.

Liz, get away from him!

Shoot, you stupid son of a bitch. Shoot!

We'll have to make a run through it,
through there.

- You can breathe in this if you need to.
- Liz, get away from him!

- Liz!
- Rhys!

Stay clear! Get away!

Liz, get away from him!

- Stand clear!
- Alec! Alec, stop!

- Get away from him!
- Alec! Alec, stop!

I had no choice.

Believe me, I...

I didn't want to do all these...

But when Vivian...

- Alec.
- The accidents.

- You had to be fired and...
- Alec.

- Oh, no.
- Vivian.

Liz! Liz! For God's sake, hurry!

Come on, darling, you'll have to jump.

Come on.
Come on, sweetheart, I'll catch you.

Come on. That's right. That's right.

It'll be all right.

Over here, come on. Trust me, darling.
Trust me.
