How old are you, Mike?

I'm 12.

12.

And how long have you been using heroin?

And how long have you been using heroin?

Chief Inspector Greenigan.

Yes.

No, I'm still in Geneva.

Why?

Out on bail?

And Cremona?

He quitted no evidence.

And Medina?

Free on bail and Hoffman.

This is my resignation, sir.

From now on, we're going to handle the mothers our own way.

Oh, listen, man.

Maybe you'll even find some of us pushing dope, sir.

If you can't lick them, join them, right?

What is this, a revolution?

I say, I can't blame them.

Can you imagine Hoffman free on bail?

You can't beat that.

But we are going to Washington tomorrow, Alan.

And I'll see the president if I have to.

Oh, Mr. Hoffman! Mr. Hoffman! Mr. Hoffman! No comment. I am free on bail.

Oh, Mr. Hoffman! No comment. I am free on bail.

Of course I know you have a harrowing situation in America.

But that's your problem.

I'm sorry about your children. I love children myself.

But nobody's forcing American dealers to buy our opium.

and to process it into heroin.

That's your problem again.

It's up to you to solve it, right?

Right.

Sir, in your opinion... Sorry, gentlemen, this is a matter for the

Narcotics Bureau.

Chief Inspector Hamilton and myself are from international headquarters in

Switzerland. We're here in New York for consultations, period.

Sir, do you feel these murders are carried out by some secret organization,

could it be one man alone?

No comment

You

know

something

Since when does a man need a reason to be scared?

Over work, I guess.

I don't enjoy killing anymore.

We can have too much of a good thing.

What killing?

This isn't killing.

It's a friendly gesture.

We're scaring him off.

That's all.

Sneak.

That's a second try, isn't it? Yeah.

I'm beginning to feel important.

You seem to be the one man they don't want us to send to Pakistan.

Damn it. How did those bastards find out I was going?

That could have been me.

So they've almost got you this time.

The syndicate obviously considers you as their number one enemy.

Very flattering.

Still want me to go?

Why don't you send someone less obvious?

Alan, this is going to be the most important clambake the dope syndicate

had. And our first chance to find out who the real boss is, the man they call

the coordinator.

You're almost certain he'll be there. Why pick me for the job?

They've been after my ass for years.

Because this man is our greatest enemy, and you are our best agent.

Battle of Giants, huh?

Right there on my grave, here lies Alan Hamilton, Narcotics Bureau giant.

One small detail.

There's $5 million worth of heroin sitting there right now.

Ready to be shipped.

Five million dollars, huh?

We could retire on that.

You are bitter.

We ought to elect a syndicate capitol president of the United States. At least

the country would have protection then.

How's Emily?

We're making progress.

She's quit asking for a divorce.

Take care, Ellen.

I'll be around.

Dreaming of the jungle.

Well, we'll have to make do with this.

Is that all?

Give trouble to the Swiss police. Those poor bastards never get to kill

anything.

What's the Afro wig about? Are we on a new protest kick?

Any kick would do round about now.

Yeah, too much Switzerland, I know.

I've had enough of dreaming, Alan.

Enough cuckoo clocks, enough gentility.

We have a nice, peaceful life, and it's driving me up the wall.

Yes, I can see that.

Funny thing about being married to the law is that you never meet anybody

different. You want to save the world, don't you? Why don't you...

Blow up a university or shoot a cop.

Your information. The world was already saved 2 ,000 years ago. And look at it.

We've got to go now. We're meeting Algut on the train.

Got to work out a few details with him. Then Pakistan.

Here's your flight ticket to New York.

I wired your family.

When some louse walks into your house and tries to murder your kids, you shoot

him, right? Right.

That's what the pushers are doing, walking right into your home and

your kids.

I say kill.

Kill them all. Listen, in a civilized society... What civilized society? A

society that stands by and watches while 12 -year -old kids in America become

dope addicts? Interpol narcotic agents are not licensed to kill.

Well, one of them is, apparently. He's been doing a good job, too. Eleven

pushers hit, all recorded on film and sound for our files.

We'll get him.

Why don't you try to get the pushers instead, you goddamn bureaucrats?

What did you do that for?

You're both so bitter, I thought some sugar would help.

Why can't I go to Pakistan with Alan?

Because it's dangerous.

Dangerous? What's that?

You know perfectly well we're not allowed to take our wives along on

trips. Our wives.

Sounds like cattle.

Your picture is here, front page.

We need more men like you.

I only hope your luck holds out.

Who's that?

That is 200 ,000 acres of good opium land in the Middle East.

And nothing we can do about it.

Yes, we can. We can invite him to join us for a drink.

Why not you stay with us, Emily, while Alan is away?

I'm going with Alan to Pakistan.

You're booked on the New York flight from Zurich tonight.

She's going to visit her family in Connecticut.

Hello. You have a car reserved in my name, I think. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs.

Hamilton. I sent you a cable.

Hamilton?

You Hamilton?

I decided to come a day early.

Thank you.

Excuse me, could you tell me where the Hotel Carawan is, please?

Excuse me, Hotel Carawan?

Thank you.

Excuse me, I lost my way. I'm looking for the Hotel Carawan.

Hi, Ruan.

I don't know how it's pronounced.

Hotel Carawan.

Hotel Carawan.

Damn.

Thank you.

first turn on your left.

What's the matter?

Come on, let's go.

What do you want from me?

You're good, real good. The best liar in the game.

Move on, Emily.

How do you know my name? Love works miracles.

Take the first turn to your left.

It makes me nervous.

He's after me, isn't he? He's after me, isn't he?

Does he know why he's been sent here?

Mrs. Hamilton, my name is... Was!

Your

husband's

a cop and you don't even know how to use a gun.

I might have sort of given you a few lessons before sending you here.

Speak up. He's flying in tomorrow.

Answer my question.

He's flying in tomorrow.

Speak up.

What are these lights?

Answer my question.

What is this nightmare?

Speak up. What is this nightmare?

I'm so scared. I'm not even frightened anymore.

They're a bragging business. My hands are shaking. They never shake before,

thank God. Only after.

Oh, my blood.

Pity.

Five nights without sleep. Try that.

Who are you?

Why'd you kill those men?

Why'd you kill those men?

Pity. Why'd you kill those men?

Who were those men you killed?

Why did you kill those men?

Who were those men you killed?

Why?

What's your name?

Why did you kill those men?

Who were those men you killed? Why?

Enough!

What's your name?

Aaron.

That's beautiful.

No. Please.

Don't.

Thank you.

Oh, dear Lord.

Greg O'Mara.

Good morning, Mrs. Hamilton.

Chief Inspector Meljit.

Oh, good morning, Inspector.

I was going to come to the police myself, but... Wait a moment. Let me

It's either your luggage or your traveler's checks.

That's what they usually steal here.

Excuse me.

What the hell are you doing here?

You're taking the next plane home.

Welcome, Alan.

Hello, Mason.

It's a great relief to see you here.

Very great indeed.

You know, my dear, your husband and I have often worked together, but never on

more dangerous, on a more difficult strait.

Tell him.

Stop whining, you idiot.

They'll turn up with the stuff, all right. They're three of my best men.

And I trust them completely.

We're up against a very dangerous and clever man who knows every move into

narcotics are panic.

They call him the coordinator.

How fascinating, Mr. Macy. Do you know what this mysterious stranger looks

Medium height.

Red hair, scar across the left cheek, burning dark eyes.

How would you know?

Imagination. I've been imagining a man like that for years.

First, turn to your left.

Take a first turn on your left.

Why this house? We're booked at the hotel.

This is my house, dear.

My secret personal headquarters.

They've already tried to kill your husband, as you know.

He'll be well guarded here.

I'll show you my very special lights.

Most effective with stubborn criminals.

I don't want you around.

This is a matter of life and death, and you're not going to use it as an excuse

for sightseeing.

All right.

If that's the way you feel, I'd rather stay at the hotel.

I want her on that plane tomorrow.

I'm afraid it's not a matter for the police, Simon.

Take off your shoes.

I said, take off your shoes.

Put them outside.

Anybody there?

Yes.

One man by the door.

Good.

I'll kill him later.

Death is a big joke with you, isn't it?

Sure.

There's nothing more satisfying than a job well done.

Ask any question.

They'll never get out of here alive.

Is this a sweet promise you're making me, Emily?

Try it.

It's a nice way to go.

Why not?

Man doesn't live by killing alone.

What are you about, anyway?

Hate?

Despair? Don't get psychological on me, Emily. It's a waste of time.

Waste of psychology.

You have... no respect for yourself, man, that's okay.

But don't try to make everybody else feel that way.

The things you do just for a thrill,

you call it a pleasure, but I call it

chill.

Don't come to me.

Man, with all that funny stuff.

Let's see who kills who. Get off my back.

You need a tranquilizer?

Carl's got one for you.

He's tranquilized a lot of people.

Listen, you idiot.

These guys are coming here to discuss more important things than five million

dollars worth of each.

That's penis for them.

You want to move on the other side of the street.

You said the grass is much greener.

How long do we have?

A night?

A couple of hours?

Forget it.

I'll try.

Good girl.

Oh, shut up.

You make it sound as though I needed salt and pepper.

This is our big chance.

We've been shipping every month $20 million merchandise for them.

This time, we're doing a little business on the side for the three of us.

The stuff vanishes.

We tell them, Hamilton got hold of it. Terribly sorry.

Better luck next time.

It's foolproof.

Relax.

Let's see who kills who.

Because time is calling your blood.

Don't you have any friends?

I have a partner.

Why do you hate me?

Because I begin to like you.

set up roadblocks here also.

What about the camels? Do you have five caravans going out into the desert every

day? I've got an informer on each of them.

Good work, Masheed. Thank you.

After all, that's your job. Mine is to find out who the coordinator is.

Very frustrating. The world's top five heroin dealers meeting here and nothing

we can do about it. Kill him.

Machine gunned them on the way from the airport.

You have terrorists in this country, don't you?

Guerrillas?

Put the blame on them.

Hello, give me police headquarters.

Hello, this is Chief Inspector Hamilton's wife.

Will you please tell Commissaire Magid to come immediately to the Hotel

Carillon, room 243.

It's urgent.

Right.

Always call the police when you're in trouble.

I've used your toothbrush, thanks.

Get out of here.

243, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton. We're checking out. Would you please fetch the

luggage?

You're insane.

Why don't we go on a little romantic trip, you and I?

35 pounds of pure heroin.

Enough to screw up 100 ,000 American kids.

Heroin? That ought to keep us going for a while.

Was that in the suitcase?

Are you spying on me for Hamilton, Emily?

Shut up and stay

down.

Come in.

Salon?

The police are coming. You're dead. Then why should I worry? Look at him. He's

not a bit worried.

They'll kill you. I've been killed before.

I'm going to give him the heroin. Good.

Give it to Hamilton.

He'll know what to do with it.

Tell him the name is Brad Killian.

nice and proper.

I... It's all right, my dear.

You had no choice.

Thank you.

I let her out of the car.

Where's the merchandise?

She's taking it right now to Hamilton.

It was your idea.

I think he's beginning to suspect me.

I've decided to stay at the hotel after all. Where's my car?

I have orders to take you wherever you wish to go, sir.

Oh. Oh, I see.

That's real good, huh?

Real artistic.

Look at that angle he's got there, man.

But wait until you see that damn doll.

How many of those films do you have in circulation?

10 ,000 prints worldwide.

Next year, we double that figure.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Yes, this is Cremona speaking.

Perhaps you could tell me who was the man that registered at my hotel under

name and spent the night here with your wife?

What is it, Alan?

They've caused quite a bit of material damage.

Your charming wife seems to have lost her head completely.

She took away a valise belonging to some tourist here.

A white valise?

Could you take care of that for me, please?

Who was the guy you screwed last night?

I don't know.

You mean you just give it to the first guy who comes around?

Shut up, Alan.

Shut up.

Kill that bastard.

We're through.

We're finished.

You make it a lot easier for me. Now I really have nothing to lose.

Who is he?

Who are you, Alan?

I don't even know anymore. Who is he?

His name is Brad Killian.

You say his name was Brad Killian?

Wild beasts of the jungle, the tiger, tiger burning bright in the forest of

night. That's what you've been dreaming about.

Brad Killian is the name of a cop who works at our headquarters in Washington.

Your lover boy is a cop.

You're not out of luck, Emily.

Is he, Alan?

Thanks.

It looks less hopeless now.

Get out or I'll kill you, both of you. Yes, I know. You're the best shot in the

service. I've heard that often enough.

You will be late, sir. All right, let's get going.

Where's Hamilton?

He seems to have been delayed.

Why don't we start the briefing without him?

All right.

The Byzantios brothers.

Shipping, marketing, and processing of heroin in the Middle East. Poor Spiros

suffers from asthma.

What do you think, Ahmed?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Right.

Carpopino. Michelangelo.

Import -export.

Sixty percent of the dope market in the States.

Never arrested.

Ah, and this is Medina.

He's in charge of transit from Europe to the States.

We had him deported five years ago, and that was a mistake.

He has set up 17 new heroin processing labs in England, France, Germany, and

Italy.

There's one thing, and I'm going to make it quite clear.

I don't want any transport attempted while we're here.

Of course not.

Just a moment, Jimmy.

No business discussions here, please.

You know, once or twice I found a mite inside the olive of my martini.

Lou Krasovitz.

Very brilliant attorney.

Directs the work of hundreds of lawyers giving legal protection to the drug

market throughout the world.

What do you think, Ahmed?

Nothing.

Tomorrow, you won't have to worry about security.

Rama Island is 100 % safe.

The helicopter will have to make three trips.

So, we better start early. I am free on bail.

Kill them all? Yes.

I like Americans.

All right, you've seen them all.

All except one, the most clever one.

Yes, the coordinator.

We've been suspecting him for quite a while, but we still need material

evidence.

The whole operation is designed as a trap for him. And the sad thing is...

That is one of you.

One of us, I should say.

Watch out. Your door isn't locked.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a house to rent. Can you help me?

Lady, I know house.

Beautiful house. I show.

You come.

I know you're a cop, Brad.

Not anymore.

I broke loot.

I'm off the leash.

Law and order.

They all talk about it, but nobody says what law, what order.

Surely not the stinking shit we're all in.

Heroin is a billion -dollar business.

That's known as economy.

The mob buys politicians, they buy judges, they buy...

your kid and they get off on bail.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

They'll get you, Brad.

You're what?

Who cares?

I don't think I'll answer that.

You better go now, honey.

The kid will show you your house.

We have a wonderful relationship.

But if you have any sense, she'll fly back home tomorrow.

What kind of a bitch do you think I am? You're my kind of bitch.

Very much so.

I really better go now.

Because I don't think I'll ever hear anything nicer from you.

I can't believe I'll never see you

again. Inshallah.

That's what the Arabs say.

Inshallah. Very good.

Ahmed. Take a good look.

The two bullets are one inch apart, firing distance 30 yards.

Son of a bitch must have been a damn good shot.

He wasn't trying to kill you at all. He was aiming at the decoy and you murdered

him.

It's all arranged between you and the rats who are paying you.

You worked out that little scheme because you knew headquarters would

suspect you.

Very clever.

Do it, Ackman.

the evidence here from Washington to convince Majid.

You were above suspicion in his eyes.

A hero.

Who are you? I killed two rats while they were taking that five million

suitcase out of your car.

They put it in the day before, but then your wife turned up and took the car.

They panicked.

I thought she was working for you.

I got hold of the suitcase, but then Majid insisted to go back to you.

So I let Emily take it.

Corpus delicti.

They want to catch you red -handed.

This whole mission was set up as a trap for you from the start, and you walked

right in.

You used to be a best agent. Now you're a dead duck.

A dead, rotten duck.

Why are you telling me?

I figured I'd give you a chance.

Why?

Because I screwed your wife.

You better go say goodbye to her. The boy will show you the way.

I'll kill you later.

How'd you find the house?

Brad Killian.

Did they get him?

I've seldom seen a woman so much in love.

It's funny to think it's one's own work.

I asked you for a divorce long before this.

What is it?

It's measured. They're looking for me.

Since when are you afraid of the police?

Since I deposited $300 ,000 in a Swiss bank over a year ago.

Where'd you get the money?

I had an offer from the syndicate.

You're lying.

I don't believe you.

It's the funniest thing. Two people living five years together and then

meeting for the first time.

My husband, the square.

The bland, dull representative of law and order.

Do I look more romantic now?

Are you thrilled?

Why?

Why'd you do it?

I'm just trying to fit in, that's all. This is a rotten, corrupt, criminal

world, and I decided to conform.

I've played honest Joe the Loser long enough. This is a seller's market, Emily

dear. You either sell out or you get shafted.

Now I'm being paid by the hoods, and that makes me part of the establishment,

accepted, reliable member of society.

Anyhow, you'd had enough of law and order, hadn't you? You wanted a

more exciting life.

That's one thing you never understood and you still don't understand.

I didn't want a different life.

I wanted a different man.

I have to do them. I have to do them.

You know, okay?

I know, okay.

I like music.

You can have my music.

I won't need it anymore.

Well, I can't go through with it. It's a trap. I'm being watched all the time.

Nervous. Let's put it off for three days. Listen, you son of a bitch. I want

stuff out of here by tomorrow morning.

I'm not going to try.

A cop who got $300 ,000 from us can't say no.

You could have said no the first time.

Maybe the second time. Not now.

Now you're taking orders from us.

You'll take the merchandise to the helicopter tomorrow at 7 a .m.

Yes, sir. I'll fly it out myself on the first trip.

Here's a map.

Those guys have taken over the country.

But all the way.

Why?

Why? Why are you a killer?

When you're young and feel cheated, you become a rebel. But when you're no

longer young and with the hoods always getting the best of you because they're

part of the system, you do something even more desperate. You...

Go along with them.

Go along with the system. You fit in.

You join the club.

Have the film developed.

Give you all the evidence you need.

You have a choice.

You can die dirty, or you can die clean.

All right.

Here.

Good morning, 7 a .m. You can kill a

lot of us there.

Kavara.

Yes, my dear.

Very sweet.

And you want to know the truth about Brad Killian now.

Brad Killian was one of us. A first -class agent.

Then something happened.

His daughter, a heroin addict at the age of 12, it killed her.

I think it was a mob's personal vengeance against Brad.

I set up a little screening at the Alhambra Theatre tonight, 3 a .m.

Chief inspectors Groningen and Allgate have been cordially invited, and you

better be there, my friend.

Very hot stuff. You'll enjoy it.

Please, Brad.

Take me with you wherever you go.

I can take you a hell of a long way, Arnie.

little cleaner.

Ahmed, teach her how to play the instrument.

This is madness.

What new evidence? We have enough evidence as it is.

I'm telling you, Hamilton was carrying out orders.

Washington was aware of that.

That's a typical case of a double agent losing control.

The mob bought him for keeps.

A smart way of making a fortune by carrying out orders.

Why wasn't I told?

Orders?

Very flattering.

Come in it's enough for two

Oh, Bob.

Can you make it?

Die on me now, man.

Kill the vermin first.

You'll die better after.

in his position.

Yes, he could name his prowess.

Why did we stop?

Engine trouble.

What are you waiting for?

Put the stuff inside.

Are you going to let these men take the Lloyd to their own hands?

Oh, no.

Never.

But of course, if we can't get there in time...

We've got to have a creative approach, creative thinking. That's what I'm for.

We've got to create the demand.

You're doing fine.

Look at the official figures.

100 % increase in heroin addicts this year. That's not bad at all. I don't

believe in pushing too hard. If you don't push hard, you get nowhere.

You can't be a conservative in this business today.

There's no point in having the best legal minds working for you if you don't

listen to them.

We've told you a hundred times to keep off schools.

Kids 12, 14 years old are being found dead from overdoses. You've got

screaming. There'll be a big crackdown.

Come on, politics.

All that means is that we have to pay more people and contribute more money to

local election funds.

Overconfidence. You'll have people hopping mad.

Sooner or later, they'll take it into their own hands.

I told my son, no, kid, you ain't going to any goddamn college.

That's where they put all kinds of subversive, anti -social, anti -American

ideas in your head.

There's more work to be done.

You can't kill them all, Brad.

I'm not looking for perfection.
