When you are.

Well, Mr. Roo.

Thank you.

You have nice eyes.

Thank you.

You ponytail.

Sorry.

Nice girls working in the embassy.

Do I understand, Mr. Roo, that none of

the girls is suitable?

Well, if I'm going to take the assignment,

I would say that's exactly what you understand.

We need a professional.

She does not look so much like me.

Well, that's not quite so important as the

fact that she's ideal for the job.

Despite the fact that at this moment she's

on holiday.

I'm sure you can arrange to get her

here on time.

3,000 miles in an afternoon.

And secretly.

Why not?

Mr. Roo, our whole Air Force consists of

three short-range bombers.

Short-range.

Well, the strategic position of your country means

that the big powers are very anxious to

be friendly.

Why don't we just see how friendly?

Perhaps you are right, Mr. Roo.

Medina put me through two calls.

One to the American embassy and one to

the embassy of the Soviet Union.

Harry, you better have a good reason for

this.

A very, very good reason.

All right, Harry, just explain.

Here you are on holiday on my yacht.

There I was, lying on a beach, minding

my own business, just listening to the surf.

And now, thanks to the combined efforts of

Harry Roo and the world's superpowers, there's a

whole continent between me and that beach.

Why?

That's a good question.

Been a long one.

And I'll give you the answer in just

a moment when I introduce you to someone.

Oh, Caroline, this is Madame Roo.

The President's wife.

You're a long way from home, Madame.

Ah, not at all, Confessor.

I am staying at our embassy here for

a reason.

My husband is no longer young, Confessor.

For the past year, he has been a

very sick man.

I've seen the press reports.

His doctors have recommended urgent treatment by specialists

in this country.

So you brought him over here?

Not yet.

Until suitable precautions have been made, I dare

not.

You dare not?

There's a rumour around they're going to attempt

to kidnap the President when he gets here.

Have you any idea who could be behind

it?

My husband has his share of enemies at

home, Confessor.

The danger is from both sides.

The extreme left and the extreme right.

Madame Roo wants us to help her get

the President here safely.

Yes, well, it's all right so far, Harry,

but why haul me back from holiday?

I mean, couldn't you handle it yourself?

Well, I suppose I could, but somehow I

don't think the airport press would think that

I was Madame Roo when the President flies

in tomorrow.

Dig?

Dig.

Dig.

Rough ride, Caroline?

Like a trip on a steel trampoline.

Well, don't blame me.

Blame Harry.

He said to make it look good.

It'll look good.

All right, Mr. Rule, no more questions for

the moment.

We'll post roadblocks for the ambulance.

On an island this size, we shouldn't have

too much trouble.

I'm going to the airport.

Madame Roo?

Madame Roo?

Very convincing.

Think you'll leave the evening papers?

It was a good idea.

You gave it to me.

Me?

When you mentioned the threat of kidnapping, I

thought we ought to do it first.

You're at Harrington before the real extreme is

to chase.

Meanwhile, the President will be taken safely to

shore.

When does your charter yacht arrive?

In about an hour.

Good.

The ambulance will be there to meet it.

The doctor will take the President directly to

the clinic.

Doctor?

One of us.

To help in any way we can.

You are very considerate.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, sir?

Harry, what is it?

Our ambulance is in trouble.

You're nearer.

Get down to the marina, fast.

The ambulance is in trouble.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

We were too late.

They've got the President.

Is that the ambulance?

The emergency signal's still working.

Let's go find them.

Right.

Right.

Ah, they must be in the house.

The President is a sick man.

We don't know how sick.

Can we risk a straight break-in?

Negative.

Keep it under surveillance, Paul.

They have to make contact sooner or later.

Right.

This arrived this morning.

Delivered by hand.

I'm to go alone.

No mention of a ransom?

No.

It's risky.

My mind is made up.

I do not know what their demands will

be, but if I do not do what

they ask, they will kill him.

I must go to my husband.

Oh!

Has she gone inside?

Yes, she has.

And it looked like a rough reception.

When do we go in?

We go in in ten minutes.

Ten

minutes.

Come

on.

Balcony!

Cover me.

Ah!

A fast

boat to catch that.

At least 30 knots.

Yes, he's

dead.

How long ago?

When did he die?

About an hour before I contacted you.

Three days ago.

Yes.

You've been through it all for a dead

man.

No, I think we've been through it for

one very much alive woman.

Yes, alive to the possibility of taking over

from your husband.

You had to buy time.

You had to keep the president alive as

far as the world was concerned until you

could arrange to seize power.

A week would have been enough.

Replace the police chief and the army commander.

And then an announcement that the president is

dead, a state funeral, and by then you're

too strong for anyone to challenge you.

I got a question.

Why didn't you take him to the clinic?

With your staff in attendance?

Your secret would have been safe.

Yes, with my staff in attendance.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

We had our doctor.

He was in the ambulance.

He wouldn't have been fooled.

So you arranged a kidnapping.

You gave me the idea.

All right, gentlemen, if you have no objections,

we will take her back.

Let's go.

You did a good job, Skipper.

I will second that.

Oh, excuse me.

Sure.

Look, why don't you stick around for a

while?

I'm going to take a couple of days

off.

I'd appreciate a little female companionship.

I'll bet you would.

Golden beaches, long cool drinks.

Take a ride for two in a horse

-drawn carriage.

Quiet little dinner under the stars.

What's the matter with that?

All right, you convinced me of that.

Okay, I will stay.

Waiter.

I know you too well.

Mr. Rule, your chauffeur-driven car is waiting

for you.

Yeah, I won't be needing it now.

I'm flying out soon.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

You mean that chauffeur-driven car?

I'll take it.

What's your name?

Julie.

Mine's Harry.

I'm kind of new on the island.

Uh-huh.

And I thought maybe you could show me

around some of the sights for the old

town.

All the lower living high.

Every city's got them.

Can we ever stop them?

Some of us are gonna try.
