million uh i beg your pardon but how

much is that oh that's about um fifteen

hundred dollars it's uh 500 pounds your

british money banco sweetie you know

this game fascinates me but i just can't

get the hang of it well it's like any

game you win and you lose

no cards oh

[Music]

eight at the back

and a six

he lost

aren't you the fella who was shot

no i'm the fella who was missed

you happen to see it no i just heard

about it the bank of one million

banco now what's that mean i've matched

the bank for a million

nine at the table

and back her out

well it looks like you're as lucky as

they say

hey

oh you're a legend oh boy card sense

jimmy bond they call you i knew you

right away i didn't know i had that much

of a reputation oh my dear fellow look

here how about you give me the lowdown

how to play

over a drink

oh i'm very sorry my name's clarence

lighter why sure

what have i got to lose do you ever lose

a boy bar's over there lead on

mr rashid the bank is open

tomorrow

very lucky here mr bond

yes and very handsome

tell me

has he changed much since the days when

you two were he looks just the same

uh-huh

you want me to talk with him now

plenty of time i tell you when

good evening

scotch

yes water two scotch one water one soda

bring a deck of cards yes sir

you know i've seen you before

i watched you play at dover when you

cleaned up the maharaj of what was his

name that that was bakara wasn't it yes

you know it must be a fascinating game

but to me it's as baffling as american

football

well it's very easy like 21 mostly luck

anyway

you were lucky tonight to escape those

shots

light

it looks like the shifter is on to

i wanted one you'd show up

i was on my way out to wait for at the

hotel

i'm attached to station s british secret

service where work in conjunction with

the dozen bureau and your own chaps of

combined intelligence agency in

washington oh it seems that we have a uh

good many friends income yes doesn't it

oh your cars please nice and uh keep the

change thank you sir

okay

go ahead no you go ahead

you explain baccarat and i'll explain

your job here

uh one player buys the bank

he puts up all the money everybody plays

against him they can play for part of it

or all of it

not a bet against the whole bank you go

bunker

like i did just now you know you're here

to deal with their zipper le shipper

he's the same fellow

you mean kill him you won't have to

he'll die anyway

if you play your cards right

have you ever seen the shipper

no go on explaining the game

well you each get two cards the banker

and the dealer

picture cards and tens count nothing

the other cards carry their own face

value

the shifter is the toad-like creature

playing at the table in there he's the

chief soviet agent for this area

controlled through leningrad section 3

through paris

and he's the most dangerous man they've

ever had

you can look now

he's a fanatic he's ruthless

incorruptible and everything he does is

entirely legal but he has a weak spot

and that's how you got into it

oh you know you see the uh object of the

game

is to get as many nine as possible say i

got an ace in the two that's three

that's not enough i asked for another

car to draw a six that makes nine in all

now if the banker has nine and as well

it's a tie

otherwise we start all over that's in

genius nearest to ninety yeah

all right

i don't kill the shift

what do i do

his weak spot is gambling

you're going to play bakara with him and

your job is to clean him out

for whatever reason to destroy him

he's been gambling with soviet funds in

his last 80 million francs

now he's going to try and get it back by

gambling high

he's bought the bank for tomorrow night

with the last funds of the treasury of

his body

he has 26 million with which to win back

the 80 he needs

soviet police

not about his camp

they got wind of it and that's one

reason why he's planning to play high

tomorrow night

now we should win back that 80 million

maybe he can brazen it out

but if you won and he hasn't

then what

we'll see that the story hits the

newspapers with photostats bank

statement all the dope french communist

party will lose his face with a very

dull flood and we'll have accomplished

our aim we'll be rid of the ship

uh

now you you know you each allowed draw

only one card

all right what else

you will have 26 million francs the same

as he has

i'll pick it up for you from the casino

cashier and give it to you tomorrow

night

well that's

hardly a safe margin

you've won unless

so you play tomorrow night

and meanwhile

watch your step they could kill me

they've already tried

what uh what else do i know about him

he's tough he's good with a gun

carries three razor blades for slashing

purposes

there's one in his hat band that's one

in the heel of his left shoe one in his

cigarette case

he always has three armed guards with

him they're with him now you can

look you see them

the big fella with a blonde hair

that's basil

fella who looks like a basset hound the

one who walked past us now

that sultan

there's a third character there he's the

thin dark fellow see him name of zurot

they're in as deep as here so be very

careful of them oh incidentally the

whole bunch of them are in the suite

right above yours at the hotel

oh well then that's who bugged my room

bug oh my gosh i think i have got it

could be a four or five nurse

oh mr bond don't you remember me

valerie

valerie memphis we met in the casino

yes of course

you were my lucky child

while you were there i couldn't lose

oh uh is mr clarence lighter miss mathis

delighted i was just teaching mr lighter

how to play baccarat i saw you i think

i've learned it like a book perhaps i

could try it out tonight oh well all

right but don't blame me

well it's nice to have met you miss

mathis uh you wouldn't care to be my

lucky child i'd love it but i must

return to the hotel me too and perhaps

we can go together well if you don't

mind going through a barrage of bullets

right now i'm not a very good risk

so it was you those men were shooting it

but why

maybe they needed the practice

let's go

good luck uh lighter and to you

tomorrow

you reserve the bank for tomorrow night

are you stealing water

tomorrow yes i'll possess good night

[Music]

oh

sir yes you you said you were on the

sixth i'll i'll see you to your own i'd

rather see you to you

well

why would i argue with that

down please

[Music]

did you expect your room to be searched

no i i don't know what anyone to find it

just you can't be too careful

you live dangerously

dangerously

gambling

depends on

how and where

[Music]

that's for old time's sake

this is for now

[Music]

timmy

the sheep sent you to me didn't he

don't deny it i know you're with him

he told you to come to my room

[Music]

because of the microphone

in the fireplace

just above what are you talking you mean

he didn't tell you about the mic the

wires go through the chimney to his room

just above here i didn't know i looked

at you

you can't lie to me you never could

i didn't know

when was it fixed

today while i was out

to listen to you

if you didn't know about it

to listen to you

he sent you here but he doesn't trust

you

he wants to be sure that you

ask the things he said jimmy listen to

me i'm going to

and so is he

you're going to tell me those things

right now word for word

[Music]

who's falling

[Music]

jimmy don't turn down the music

well that's better chopin isn't it

[Music]

you were saying valerie

[Music]

jimmy you used to love me

i loved you too

you haven't written in a year

there were reasons why i couldn't

so what do you want to do now pick up

where you left off

i've come to say you mustn't play

against le chief

oh

so you know that

i'm begging you not to jimmy you're a

member of combined intelligence who

fronts as a gambler he'll kill you

she plays her part good

so you know that too dale if you don't

think of yourself think of me

i did love you

i still do would i be begging you not to

play if i didn't

[Music]

you might

so please please go to paris while

you're safe

if you ever loved me

[Music]

maybe i didn't

yes there's that of course

[Music]

you know

women can lie as well as men

maybe i did love you once

but not now

[Music]

i'll uh

i'll see you to the elevator

which part of it was true

that the shifter will kill her

all right

he will kill you

well you've done your job well valerie

i hope he pays you well

jimmy i still love you

the shifter will kill you but you can

tell your employer he's wasting his time

sixth floor i guess

[Music]

quiet appears

i've done my job now i'm going to my

room you stay here

turn it on again

uh you see valerie we have a microphone

in bond's room uh you were once still so

close to him i i just want to make sure

about your present feelings oh but you

came through magnificently any

suspicions i might have had were

were quite unfounded

i did all you asked admirably

perhaps uh

perhaps even a little more

what do you mean

nothing i

i was just wondering how your lipstick

got smudged

oh i i have no objections to you being

kissed by a man you once loved but uh

does open up an interesting angle of

speculation which is um

does he still love you

you said you heard yes but i couldn't

see and you could it doesn't matter oh

it couldn't matter very much bond and i

on opposite sides of the fence hello uh

would you give me the casino please the

chef de party

and

and you're mr bond is very lucky and

and mr bond has caught since and i don't

[Music]

hello hello bring james bond at his

hotel for me will you

hello

hello jimmy jimmy it's lighter have you

hidden that chick yet well no i was

looking for valerie did you find her no

i haven't yet but the ship's on his way

across there maybe just to pick up his

bags i wouldn't know but while that

check still around you're still hot all

right i'll take care of it right now you

keep after valerie

hello writer no mr bond i am speaking

for lashifa i told you before if you win

miss mathis will lose but lashifa will

give you both one more chance

miss mathis will live in exchange for

the check

oh you uh you have miss mathis is that

it will you pass over that check

no i don't think so

mr bond i said stand still

close the door and put on the lights

well it

it seems we have a few points of mutual

interest to discuss huh

such as uh

such as that check for 87 million francs

money which was partly supplied by the

french secret service

through its agent our little friend

valerie

yes

valerie mattis agent of the dersian

bureau

oh i only found that out today

because you would have died at once but

i thought i

i all the threat of your life over this

uh american

not that he seemed to care he he still

put his job first

he had to

maybe

maybe in any case it was a mistake

if i would have known that the french

had supplied it with funds and kids who

needed more money all right why didn't

you tell me you were with the french oh

i

i think i can answer that

oh as you most certainly know mr bond

no secret agent can ever be quite sure

what another agent isn't working for the

other side

although i

i always thought that mutual love means

mutual trust

do you love me jimmy

he's much too sensible to answer that in

any case

neither of you wants the other to be

heard huh

very comfortable considering the fact

that i

that i want that check for 87 million

francs

yes mr mon you have almost destroyed me

you've almost succeeded in fact

my life depends upon finding that chick

so by the way does yours

[Music]

oh basil you're so clumsy i just asked

you to hit him i i didn't ask you to hit

him so hard

hey

easy not so on

tough man huh very tough

well if he fights again hit him again

huh but please only a little at a time

now mr bond as you might have noticed we

we are very serious people

you bet her health is of no concern to

us whatsoever

answer that

pick him up

and just in case you get ambitious mr

bond believe me

hello

hello jimmy it's lighter again

have you found valerie yet

yes yes she's here

oh good then everything's fine

uh has the shipper unfortunate

i don't i don't think so

oh he will

i'm getting out of the papers giving

them the whole story so i'll say good

night lighter

yes what is it

nothing it's okay

sorry i lost your shirt

oh you're a pal i'll talk to you

tomorrow

maybe

maybe he'll talk to you tomorrow

but only if you have given us that check

took me long enough to win it

take you longer to get it back i don't

think so i honestly don't think so

it's about time we stop joking huh i

i think he's ready for the bathtub

oh pound me beautiful i

i didn't mean to neglect your nose

who knows maybe

maybe you can persuade him huh

a battle

hey battle

take her in

uh but if she screams

at her first scream

he's dead

all right mr vaughn

where's that money

look mr bond as you should know by now i

i'm quite without mercy and

if you continue to be that obstinate

time

i'll have to torture you'll be tortured

to the edge of madness believe me you

have no hope whatsoever you hear none

no i have she

an ugly little man why don't you stop

talking

all right

see this tool mr bond

it's very handy little tool serves all

sorts of purposes

oh uh my little friend you remember the

the one that had a gun that passed for a

cane oh

he was an expert with his

unfortunately he's gone but uh

i've learned a few of his tricks

now mr bond are you going to tell me

where that chick is

you won't huh

all right

i think i know how to make it there

i am

excruciating huh

look mr bond if you if you continue like

this i

i have to start on poor valerie

you leave me no choice i

i cannot let you destroy me

i've already destroyed you you think so

huh

i'm no hero i don't like pain

but i can tell you one thing right now

you won't get anything out of me

pain and killing's part of my job and of

mine too mr bond oh bet you'll love it

how did you find that out huh

oh you're an obstinate man mr bond

but i

i think i think you've had enough huh

where's that money

what's the difference

it's a check

the police will trace it to you oh

please please don't worry about that

that's very easy you see

the story will be that after our little

game at the casino we made and you being

such a good sportsman

you turned it over to me you lost so

therefore you signed the check over to

me that simple huh

now where's that money

where is it

i know we have hidden it hitting it

somewhere here in this suite

we search it but you're very clever now

where is it

oh uh

sure

you better go downstairs because uh you

see mr light might arrive and i'm quite

certain he'll he'll be very upset when

he sees his friend after we are finished

with him

go ahead basil and and this time you

don't have to restrain yourself

stop

i'll tell you where is it

i know something when i came in i saw he

was only a screw no valerie shut up

screwdriver

where could you use a screwdriver where

where could he use a screw

where did you use it

find it yourself

all right

all right

have it your way there mr bond we have

searched your rooms now we are going to

take them apart

and if i don't find it we'll take you

apart both of you

what they were doing to you

that

can i can they see us

no

keep watching

warn me if they move

whatever happens

i want you to know that

i've always had one memory

and i always have one desire

to go away somewhere with you

somewhere quiet

where we used to go

where the fields inhale

do you remember

it seems long ago

i thought

i thought i'd never seen anything so

beautiful and

peaceful

and a warm sweet scent of cut hay

to lie in the fields and

look up at the sky

and there would be nothing but

laughter

and love

the way it was

here it is we found it

thank you mr bond

huh

can i have some water

oh yes oh

with pleasure

basket give him all the water he wants

get me some water too

hey

a bagel

hey

hey basil

what's the matter

hmm

be fair mr bond

it's all in the game we're

we have both gamblers

and

i have lost

give me the check

come on

call the police

see how the game goes huh

interesting

you know suddenly i i find a great

desire to live

what are you going to do mr vaughn

what are you going to do

well if you want that check that badly

just pull the trigger but then then you

lose your beloved valerian and if i live

believe me i'll lie about everything and

i can lie much better than you much much

better so you see either way i went
