Original subtitles

You can go home and relax.

In a few days' time, it'll only be his car.

What are you doing here? I told you to rest.

Go home and... Hey, this must be a joke.

We get that job.

Good. Get all the boys together for tomorrow.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

I hate to interrupt your little party.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Get up.

Get up!

Professor Arlington.

Aren't you glad we came? You had such a boring party.

Eric! Get the girl!

No. Come on, let's go.

All right.

Get dressed.

We're going somewhere else.

Good morning, Captain.

According to this report, there was no sign of human flight found at the scene

of the crime.

Therefore, Arlington and Lisa are still alive, and they've been taken somewhere.

Can you recognize the kidnappers when you see them again?

Not all.

How long have you been working for Cunningham Security Agency? He's been

for almost three years, and he's one of my best men.

That's why.

Professor Arlington was kidnapped, and you're the only man left behind.

Alive.

Just what is that supposed to mean?

I don't care what you say. You and your men are totally incompetent. The people

who got Professor Arlington are not amateurs.

They're professionals.

They're weapons. They're modus operandi. If I'm not mistaken, they're

terrorists. Three of my people were killed.

How come this MacPherson survived if he put up a fight? He's lucky enough to...

I don't care. He could have been one of them. That's why he wasn't killed.

He killed two of the kidnappers. That could have been part of the plan just to

avoid suspicion.

T .J., I vouch for this guy.

I'm responsible for it.

Good day.

I brought you some guests.

You invited.

May I introduce Professor Arlington and his secretary.

Welcome to the island, Professor.

Please, make yourself at home.

May I know what this is all about?

Please be patient, Professor.

You'll know in time.

Nicky, Ramon, show our guest recorders.

Now.

Maybe we can talk business, huh?

See you back at the shopper, will you?

Not necessary.

That's going to help your friend.

Nice meeting you.

Have a nice trip over here.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

I want chocolate.

What the hell is going on now?

He mustn't get away.

Let's go and get some more men.

Hold it.

That's one.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

That's one of them.

Now that you're sure, I'll have my men check his files.

I wasn't aware he was involved in kidnapping.

You know him?

He was one of my men in Vietnam.

Then you know where to find him.

No, but I know some of his buddies.

Hey, buddy.

Don't mention it.

Good, Mr. Barner. Doctor says you should be out in a day or two.

Two days? Oh, it's doctor's orders. Now, you get some rest now. Good night.

Hey, ma 'am. Yeah?

I feel sorry to bother you this late, but we're friends with Mr. Charles

and we were wondering if we could see him, please?

Oh, that's impossible.

The doctor would have known he was visiting at these hours.

Oh, we do understand, ma 'am, but please do understand.

You see, it's furniture we want to see.

In fact, our lives depend on it, especially Mr. Viner's life.

Well, I'll see you in for one minute, but you'd better hurry.

Thank you, ma 'am. You didn't want to interrupt.

Thank you, Heidi.

You Curly?

Who's asking?

Cunningham sent me to see you.

Uh -huh.

Says you're a friend of Charles Barner's.

Come aboard.

What do you want Charles for?

Well, I'm trying to help him.

Why, Charles got a problem?

You could say that. Yeah.

Like what?

Kidnapping.

No way. Not Charles, man.

Not Charles.

I saw it. I was there.

Now, where's he hanging out?

I don't know where he's hanging out.

I'll tell you what.

I'll ask around.

Okay.

We'll be in touch

McPherson's

getting too close, and I don't like it He's beginning to ask questions, and

bothers me.

Under no circumstances is he to meet with Charles Barnum.

It could be disaster for us all.

Nick, I want you to personally take care of the problem.

Initial steps have already been taken.

You've got to be careful.

I don't want this thing to blow up in my face.

My career could be on the line, man.

I have one problem.

This guy McPherson, he's a very persistent guy.

Is there any way to eliminate him without rousing suspicion?

Let him do whatever he wants.

The guy's good for our cover. I just want to be sure.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

By the way, when are you going to see our financier, the rim cop?

I'm waiting on his call now.

I'll get back to you later.

The last time I talked to Charles, he said there was something big coming.

He said it's a business deal that needs a lot of guts.

He said his old boss called him up and offered him a business venture.

Yeah? He called me and offered me the same deal.

So? I said no.

You see, I'm not that stupid.

We were in NAMM together.

I used to remember him as a quiet type of guy, you know.

Later he was captured.

Then he was released.

Ever since, he's never been the same man.

You know, now he talks big.

He acts like he's a big man.

As a matter of fact, he's got this little crazy idea, you know.

Man, he's weird.

He's changed.

He mentioned something about an old boss.

Who's that?

I really don't know.

He's got lots of jobs.

What about Barner? I don't suppose you know what hole he crawled into.

I'm sorry.

But what I heard, he's got a girl working around town.

But I'll tell you what.

I'll call you when I find anything, okay?

Thanks for nothing.

Oh, shit.

Holy shit.

Well, boys, as usual, you missed it.

Some guys came in here, shot the place up.

There's some very dead people up there.

They even threw a grenade.

Grenade? What grenade?

time I tell you to do something, you do it right.

I won't have it.

You guys are going to do it right or get out.

How are you today, Professor?

Now, can you tell me what you want from me?

What do you want from us?

I can't tell you that now, Professor.

I'm just following orders.

By the way, how would you like to send a message back home?

What for?

You Americans are fools, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Are you okay?

Did they hurt you? No.

I bet

you

this will make you talk, Professor.

Stop it! Stop!

I want you to pay $10 million in exchange for their lives.

Never, I repeat, never try to contact the police or you can eat your millions

dollars while we feast on Lisa and Professor Arlington's bodies.

The voice of Professor Arlington and Lisa will probably convince you that we

mean business.

You'll hear their voices later on in this tape.

Just wait for my further instructions on how, when, and where to deliver

the money.

My God, what are we going to do?

Don't worry, Jill.

Give them what they want.

Ted's life is worth more than what those bastards are asking for.

I want the police.

And I want them now.

I want my husband back in one piece.

No police.

We can't afford to take the risk.

Just trust me.

Let me handle this.

Cunningham, take Mrs. Arlington home. Here.

Jill, just try to relax.

Mrs. Arlington, let's go.

Yes. Come on.

Thank you.

I'm sorry It's all part of the game I know It's been

a long time

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, what is it?

Even though we have an agreement with Colin to abduct the professor and get

microfilm, that doesn't mean we can't ask for ransom also.

It's not even the same agreement.

You mean you're trying to give back Professor Aronson once the ransom money

been paid?

No. After we get the microfilm, then we demand ransom before we give back to the

professor. I think the microfilm is more important than the ransom.

Once we get our hands on that, we can make more money out of the microfilm.

Besides, I've got connections.

I don't like it, Lisa. It's too hot.

But I'll think about it.

But for now...

I'm

afraid that even once they have the ransom money, they're not

going to release my husband alive.

And I know we can't involve the police.

Mrs. Arlington, I realize you've been through a terrible ordeal, but you've

to try to be calm.

Just relax.

How can you tell me to be calm? My husband's life is at stake, and you want

to be calm? Very well. Come on up to our office and we'll talk about it. Just

relax. Okay, okay.

Please, Cunningham.

I want you to hire someone qualified to rescue my husband with Lisa.

Come on in, please.

Thank you.

Why don't you just have a seat right over here?

Could I get you something to drink?

No, thank you. Nothing right now. I'm fine. All right.

Mrs.

Arlington, this type of rescue mission very easily could jeopardize

between T .J. Robinson and the kidnappers. Besides, it's too risky. If

happens to your husband or Lisa, I can be held accountable by the authorities.

However, I will consider your idea.

If it's the only way we can get Professor Arlington out of there alive.

What do you think they're going?

Take it easy.

Easy.

Hahahaha!

My guards heard you moaning and shouting. What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

This is going to be a bad dream.

Well, just be careful, Professor.

They wouldn't want you to die in your sleep before we finish with you.

Hello? Yes, this is Brankov.

Now listen carefully.

Escalar is demanding money.

It is not part of the plan.

I do not trust him.

I want you to go and get the microfilm.

Yes, I want the microfilm now.

Yes, Branko. Any other instructions?

Yes. Just be careful with Escalar. Got it.

How are you? Fine. How is every man?

Not much progress.

Not very good. He isn't cooperating at all. He isn't eating anything.

Has he told you anything?

Nothing. He's being very stubborn.

Professor Arlington, allow me to introduce my associate, Steve Collins.

Professor, we've been monitoring your progress for several years now.

We've been waiting a long time for the completion of your latest project.

And at last, it's finished.

And that's what we want, Professor.

Not the ransom.

know that you are the only person that can operate that machine.

And that all information has been put onto microfilm.

And we want that microfilm, Professor.

I'm sorry, but I don't seem to know what you're talking about.

And whoever possesses this machine can control all world leaders, thus

controlling the world.

This is the first time I hear of such a machine.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, gentlemen, but you must have mistaken me for

someone else.

Yeah? Mr. Pearson?

This is Charles Barner.

Barner? Where the hell are you?

Just listen to me.

One million for the whereabouts of Professor Allen.

Listen, asshole.

You're in trouble.

I'm looking for you. The cops are looking for you. Somebody else is

you. I don't know who they are, but there's dead bodies all over the place.

one of them is your friend Curly.

I don't care who is after my ass, McPherson.

I keep them to Arlington, all right. But that is only our part of the scheme.

Other parties holding him.

Not a family party.

A big one, with lots of fireworks, if you know what I mean.

Okay, last time.

A million, or you say goodbye to Arlington.

I'll tell him.

Looking for me?

Come on, let's go. Let's go. Move it.

Six pounds.

One million dollars.

One million for this bit of information.

And you believe this guy.

First, the kidnappers sent a tape message demanding $10 million for the

of Arlington.

Then this guy comes along and asks for $1 million for his whereabouts. I can't

believe this anymore.

Believe it.

Barner helped kidnap Arlington, and now he wants to sell out his pals.

He's just a nice guy.

The guy's just greedy.

The information is more than likely unreliable.

It just makes good common sense that whoever got Arlington, they're not going

let Barner know.

If they do, they're going to have to kill Barner.

or they're going to have to change the location of the hideout.

I think you got a point there, Cunningham.

Look, anything's possible with these creeps.

You're talking about betting 10 million bucks with no guarantee they're going to

hold up their end.

I'm saying, up the ante a million, and we get a chance to bust them first.

I'm going out.

Just stop when you go out.

I'm going to get that million bucks.

Please, bring home a car.

Sure, sure.

Why not?

Just don't forget the password.

and don't show up the map to any wrong person yeah and now

we go back

Got the money?

Good boy.

What about the map?

You will have to come with me.

Be my guest.

Come out.

Who are you?

Okay,

come in.

Hi.

He said take the money and buy yourself a new car.

Hippie, isn't it?

Welcome in.

The professor's making me mad.

If he doesn't tell us where the microfilm is now, I'm afraid I'm going

to torture him to the extent of... No, that won't be necessary.

I have an idea the professor will be very cooperative.

Okay, we'll do it your way.

Good afternoon, Mr. Barakoff here, please. Yes, I've been waiting for you.

right ahead. Thank you.

tell us the damn thing.

So, he's being tough.

Tell me, corporate, where is Mrs. Arlington?

My men are keeping tabs on her.

I want you to get her.

One sure way to break him out.

We should give this to the authorities and let them decide how to rescue the

professor.

These terrorists have a way of knowing our movements. Look what happened to

Curly and Barner.

Look what happened to McPherson and that woman.

If we go to the authorities, they're going to kill Arlington and Lisa.

Nobody said it was going to be easy.

I paid one million dollars for this damn thing and now we're arguing about what

we're going to do with it.

Good morning. What can I do for you? Is Mrs. Arlington in place?

Yes, she is. But do you have an appointment?

No, I don't.

But I have this.

Let's go and see how busy she really is.

Sure.

Mrs. Arlington?

Yes? What the hell?

Sit down and shut up.

What do you want?

Call T .J. Robinson.

I will not.

It's your choice. If you don't, you die.

All we got to do right now is wait for another phone call and study the map.

Hello, DJ here.

DJ, listen carefully.

Drop everything.

What do you mean drop everything? I can't understand you.

TJ, they know what you're doing.

They've got me.

My God.

Where are you?

They got her.

They already know what's going on here.

jog your memory, Professor.

Good

morning,

sir. Good morning.

Good morning.

Jim!

Good morning. How have you been?

Fine, and you?

Oh, just fine.

I've got just the men you need.

Hey, Cactus, I heard you got promoted last month after doing a big bust on

ring. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, there's a lot of boppers in the city.

After the Florida police cracked down on that city, what are you guys trying to

do about it? Start cleaning up again.

Guess you get a lot of dirt in this business, huh?

How in the world do you manage?

Just plain lucky.

Hey, Cactus, that's about to go wrong.

How much are these men going to cost me?

That depends on how difficult or dangerous the job is.

Chuck, the money is immaterial.

I need these men immediately.

I'll be happy to organize it.

Very well.

It's been a pleasure meeting you. Nice to see you, Jim.

Now

you're

going to see what happens to people who don't cooperate with us. Bring them out

to the balcony.

If you don't start talking.

I don't know what kind of dangers we're going to face on this mission, and I

don't know what kind of risks we're going to be facing.

The only thing we can do is prepare everything, anything at all that's going

help us survive on this mission.

I do not know what's waiting for us on this island, but there's one thing I'm

dead sure of.

These are highly skilled people, and they're trained to kill without mercy.

Darling, T .J. Robinson has the money.

He's just waiting for instructions on where to deliver it.

And now, here I am.

What do they really want from us?

The microfilm, Mrs. Arlington.

A very important microfilm.

That's all we want.

Nothing more.

If you can convince your husband to tell us where it is, you're free to go.

But do it very quickly.

Escalara's getting some funny ideas.

You guys, check out that gunfire.

The rest of you, come with me.

Sir, we're under fire.

What? You deploy the men. I'll go check them, Professor.

Okay. Go check the perimeter. And don't let them come near the villa.

Thank you.

Not my professor.

Where's the microfilm?

I told you before, you're the wrong man.

I... I... I... I... You

stupid... Ted.

Ted.

Oh, darling.

What did you do that for?

Shut up.

Why did you do it?

THE END

Thank you.

Yah!

I'm sorry, Mrs. Arlington.

It's all ours.

They don't even know that we masterminded the kidnapping.

We're very lucky.

You know, the only problem we had was that bastard Escalor when he double

-crossed Barnard.

Curly. You know, actually, that bullet was meant for McPherson.

Curly just got in the way.

How many people have died for just this little piece of film?

I don't know, but believe me, it was worth every bit of it.

Honey, I'm sorry about what happened to your husband.

It wasn't supposed to be that way.

Case it off at all.

Life is a bit...

We did it. A million bucks.

Great.

And nobody even knows I'm alive.

Has Escalera ever failed you before?

No. Let's go get the money.

Be patient. We're on our way.

I got what you wanted. You got the cash?

Tell me, comrade.

How do I know this is the genuine article?

For the same reason, I'm not going to count this.

Ciao.

All right, let's go there.

Well that's about it.

Nice work.
