Well? I approve.

Well, now, I'll put you in there.

Paul can have the other room when he gets here.

You still approve?

Yeah, it's fine.

I love the old place.

My father loved it, too.

He used to bring my brother and I down here every season, taught us to shoot.

And some of my happiest memories were spent in that forest there.

Tracking, trailing, making the leap.

Sometimes I was Robin Hood, and sometimes I was a great big ferocious

We wanted to end up at Bobby's Tower.

Bobby's Tower?

Yes, it's a tower. It's about two miles from here, due north. You can't quite

see it.

Strict orders from father. If ever you're in trouble or you're lost, head

the tower and stay there.

Good advice.

Worth remembering.

I think I would have liked your father.

I know he would have liked you.

You want a drink?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Oh, I knew it. The keeper brings in the provisions, but he always forgets to re

-dock the liquor cabinet. I think he's teetotal.

Well, maybe he buys them, but they never get to the cabinet.

I'll run down to the stores.

Why don't you take a look at the gun rack?

The gun rack?

Easy now, easy, easy.

They're close by.

Go. Run while you can.

You're wasting time.

There's a fire control station about. Please, just go.

Take this gun.

I'll be as quick as I can.

Please!

into the forest.

Let the dogs find him.

You're a fool, Cap.

He moved faster than I thought.

Never underestimate your quarry.

I'll tell Wilma to get the truck, get him back, and you, get this place

up again.

You lead on.

Our quarry has been hit, gentlemen.

We've drawn first blood.

Trying to throw the trail.

Get the other side.

Work your way down river.

Don't worry me, the boots.

You go on with the men, I'll cut back.

If I'm right and he has fooled us, he'll double back to the road.

And I'll be waiting.

Here we are, Contessa.

Thank you, Grommel.

Always a pleasure.

Rye, bourbon.

You're an American guest, then? Mm -hmm. One American and one Frenchman on his

way. Well, then perhaps you would like a fine Napoleon brandy.

Perhaps I'd better. I don't want to start an international incident now, do

Somebody's hot on the scent.

Sounds like it.

There we are, Contessa.

Would you like me to take you in the car for a minute? No, no, no, thank you. I

can manage.

Good day, Contessa. Good day, Grommel.

Shut up.

This way!

So you couldn't wait to play with your new toy, could you?

Very good. Do you hear me?

Excellent.

I'll give you some fine sport.

I like company.

Very well.

Just one.

Bobby's town.

I want to contact her.

You've forgotten something?

Yes.

Yes, I forgot to ask you where you got that gun.

The gun?

It belongs to a friend of mine, Harry Rule.

Oh, yes, of course it did. He sold it to me.

Harry sold you that gun?

Sure, you know how it is. We struck a bargain.

When did he sell it?

I don't remember exactly.

But it wasn't today?

No, some time ago.

Yes.

I gave that gun to Harry this morning as a birthday present.

He wouldn't have sold that to anyone.

Cromwell, call the police.

No!

Nobody is calling anyone.

Where's Harry?

I don't know.

But it sounds as though we're getting close.

You mean...

That's Harry they're hunting out there.

You

all

right, Bromelt?

I think so, Countess.

You still got that horse?

Yes. Is the saddle still in the same place?

Yes, Countess.

Can you take care of him?

With pleasure.

I'm going to get that horse. I'm going to find Harry.

You think over there, you can't.

about your father.

Just sound advice.

Oh.

Oh, Harry.

Let go.

How did you find me?

One talk.

There's a house about a mile away.

Hunting accident.

Hunting accident? A shotgun. He's lost a lot of blood.

Can you call the nearest doctor?

Oh, no need for that. The man who lives here is a doctor. Will you call him,

please? Well, he's out for the moment, but he should be back soon.

Carol.

If you have some brandy. Listen, Carol.

Call the police. Tell them about Purston.

Purston? Yeah, that's what this is all about. Purston.

The missing diplomat? Douglas Purston, yeah.

Thank you.

Douglas Thurston. Now, can you enlarge on that?

Yeah, I saw him at your lodge.

Harry, that's impossible.

That will be the doctor. Well, this is indeed a pleasure.

Pleasure to...

Catch up with you at last.

They've asked me to call the police.

Of course I didn't.

Of course.

Harry, that is impossible.

He was kidnapped in South America.

And brought to Europe, where nobody will be looking for him.

Sorry, involving you.

Forget about us. How do you feel?

Britain, as you said, no one will think of looking for me in Europe.

Furthermore, we, the freedom fighters, are firm and are resolved.

Unless our comrades are freed from capitalist jails, we will duly execute

hostage, British diplomat Douglas Purston.

Next paragraph.

Lest the world doubt our purpose, we will first execute an American citizen,

Harry Rule, and then the Contessa di Contini.

Executions at 4 .30 this afternoon.

That will give time to get the story in the paper, but not quite.

time enough to do anything about it.

Mr.

Person, what are the chances?

I mean, these people, will their demands be met?

No.

To do so would be to justify rule by violence.

My death will prove that government cannot be coerced.

Will you take a risk?

What sort of a risk like having your head blown off?

Why not?

You think it'll work? I've got no idea.

I've got no better idea.

Pick your detonator.

Okay?

It

is

time.

Then?

Then?

We should have the formality of a firing squad.

The woman and the American execute them.

For the cause of it.

Make it quick, Antony.

Only one shot?

Tell them to bury them.

I'm going out, but I'll be back in time to deal with Persson.

He'll never make it.

My men are all around the place.

You won't get far. I don't intend to leave. Call the police.

Shoulder hurting?

Don't try it.

I capitulate.

You've beaten me.

You've been beating me all day.

You all right?

Yeah. Grazie.

Thank

you.

Salute. Bobby Stower?

That's right.

I got a question.

What who was Bobby?

In the avenues and alleyways

Well, the soul of a man is easy to buy.
