Look, Charlie, look, Istanbul.

What did you expect in Turkey? Pittsburgh?

Look,

Charlie, it says Istanbul is the threshold of Asia, the colorful city of

mosques. Huh?

444 mosques. You want to take me to every one of them. You?

needs you. Listen, I can go alone any time I want to, and maybe not alone, you

understand? All right, all right. I mean, there's lots of interesting people

can meet while traveling, people interested in culture and things.

Could I trouble you, Mr. Brennan?

No trouble, but I'm smoking, it says there. We're going down.

Oh, oh, sure.

Well, this is sort of like coming home for you, isn't it?

Sort of like.

flight 100 from Karachi, Tehran, Damascus, and Beirut, arriving at gate

Welcome to Istanbul.

I'm the guide. You're the guide.

Istanbul's all right.

Excuse me. Mr. Brennan. Right. Would you step this way, please?

Can I have my passport, please? Brennan.

Ah, most welcome, Brennan.

If you are not exactly unexpected.

Ah, nice to be remembered. I have no idea what a pleasure it is to see you

again.

How often I have wondered about you.

May I?

Please.

Five years is a long time to stay away.

When one has a particular attachment.

A war had something to do with that.

Ah, yes.

Korea.

James Brennan.

Captain, U .S. Air Force, Devastation Swan, Suico Power Plant, Distinguished

Service Cross, Honorable Discharge. It's a very fine record, Ben, and I

congratulate you.

And now, you've given up flying?

No.

Except it's a little difficult without an airplane.

The one I had got lost.

Oh, would you remember that?

Perfectly. Your papers, please.

Thank you.

And the purpose of your visit?

Traveling through here to Iran on business.

I heard the old companies need pilots.

So, you're passing through Istanbul on your way to Iran.

That's most interesting.

Oh, Inspector.

You're such a suspicious type.

You know, that's the kind of thing that breaks up old friendships.

Oh, I hope not.

But you know, I must ask myself why you have come back.

Sentimental journey, perhaps?

Pilgrimage to the scene of former happiness.

But that would only reopen an old wound.

Sir, I must feel that it is not sentiment that brought you back, but,

diamonds.

I wish I could help you find them.

But I never did know what you were talking about.

Thanks.

It's been delightful chatting about old times.

It only remains for me to hope.

that we all enjoy your stay in Istanbul.

Thanks.

And if there's anything I can do for you at all, Inspector, you'll be sure and

let me know, won't you?

I'll be at the same hotel.

Mr. Brennan. Good to see you. Good to see you.

It has been a long time. Yep. I like my old room, eh?

Ah, yes, I remember.

424.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan. 424 has already been taken.

An American corporal just arrived.

Oh, that wouldn't be Mr.

and Mrs. Boyle, would it?

Oh, yes, you know them?

Hmm.

If you wish, I will move you in when they check out. Good.

In the meantime...

I will put you next door, room 422.

422.

Take

it

up.

Bonjour, messieurs.

This way, please.

You wish anything, sir?

Oh, yeah.

To vodka, Gimlet.

To?

Thank you, James Brennan.

Thank you, Istanbul. Thank you, beautiful night.

And thank you, whatever you are called.

That sounds just a little bit too much like goodbye.

I didn't mean that. Really, I didn't.

What should I say to remove the spell? It should be in Turkish or it won't

Turkish? Yes.

Hacky cat.

That sounds like wonderful magic. What does it mean?

Truth comes from the heart, not the tongue.

I like that.

Did you just make it up?

Of course.

You know what we say in Munich when we feel the way I do now?

Tell me.

or I'll never fall

binder. If I could sing like that, man, I wouldn't do anything else. Come on,

sit down, have a drink. No, thank you. Like the cop says, not when I'm on duty.

That's a good boy. How's it going with you, Miss Bauer? Thank you, Danny. What

lovely song.

You've never sung it more beautifully.

Well, you should know. You've heard it every night for a solid week.

Well, tonight it was special.

Well, let's say the way you heard it was special.

Get him. One month in Turkey and he's already giving with the province.

What's with you? Flying dynamite to the islands or fertilizer to Italy?

I'll fly anything, anyplace, anytime, you know me.

However, I am temporarily retired.

And I feel temporarily unnecessary.

Oh, no, Danny, please.

Please nothing. I can't afford you to.

Why not?

Translation, please.

Well, every time I come over here and look into your love -glazed eyes, I

moping about my girl in New York.

Do you know how much it costs to call New York from Turkey?

Ouch.

I got to go help the fellas make it with the music out.

See you later.

See you.

Nice guy.

First class.

That's my ship, isn't it?

Getting ready to sail.

No regrets?

It's going away. I don't want to go away.

Not even to go home?

Home is not the place where you're born. It's where you're happy.

There she goes.

Two weeks ago, I stood on her deck when she came in, wondering whether Istanbul

would like me.

Where were you two weeks ago?

Oh, flying in a load of machinery from England.

Flying in, flying out. You like that, don't you?

Well, the army taught me how.

I haven't found anything I'd like to do better.

Besides, now I've got my own plane.

It's a lot nicer not getting shot at.

Tim.

A girl in England?

A girl?

Safety in numbers, I always figured.

The important thing, though, is that up till now, there's never been a place I

was sorry to leave.

When I think of the vacations I have wasted elsewhere, Italy last year and

Africa the year before.

Don't think of yesterday.

Today is the important thing.

3 .30? 3 .30? I've been here since half past two. Where is he?

Where I finally find him is having lunch. He said to be right over.

Hi, Florian. What's wrong? Ali said it was urgent. At 2 .30, I came here to ask

you to take on a load of machinery for Cairo. It's already loaded in your

Now, it's most important... Oh, Ali, is that all?

I ought to break your neck interrupting my lunch.

But, Jim, I thought you wanted the business.

You mean to say you're not interested?

Oh, sorry.

Well, that means a tidy sum. Yeah, I know, but I'm not taking many jobs right

now. My firm has given you a lot of business, Brennan. Sure, I appreciate

but I'm sticking around Istanbul a while.

Of course, if your social life means more to you than working for Florian and

Temple, we'll take our business elsewhere.

Jim, darling, I... Oh.

Hi. Good afternoon.

May I present Miss Stephanie Bauer, Inspector Nural.

My pleasure, Miss Bauer.

How do you do? Everything legal, Inspector?

Perfectly. I await the day when you succumb to temptation.

Ah. Darling, the Inspector is what you might call a customs cop.

He awaits the day when he figures out coming in loaded with contraband. I

think Mr. Florian expected you to turn him down. Are you going out of business?

No, but we have so much to do here in Istanbul.

It is a pleasure to have met the lady who can keep Jim Brennan from making

I think is called a fast buck.

Good day, Miss Lauer.

So long, Inspector.

Come on, darling, let's finish lunch. Mr. Florian was very angry.

Yeah, odd type, eh?

The trip to Cairo would only take two or three days.

I'd still be here when you get back.

You must be practical.

Practical? Oh, I hate that word, even from you.

When you come back, I'll have found a place to live and a job.

Okay.

Try to break all records.

Make it back in two days.

That would be very nice.

Why don't we stop here?

I'll just go in and see how this is for a moment.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, give these cigarettes to Inspector Norrell.

Tell him I smuggled them in.

Yes? Oh, Jim!

A most pleasant surprise.

Good to see you, too.

Am I interrupting something?

No, no, I'm quite alone.

But tell me, where have you been?

How is your life?

My life? Never better.

I've been flying around Africa, Europe, made a few bucks here, lost a few there,

and found a girl. Oh, a girl?

You must tell me about her.

I want to get something special for her because she's a very special person.

And I will... What's the matter? Anything wrong?

No, no, nothing at all.

Whatever you give her will be highly special, I assure you. Good. Let's see.

No, no, nothing of that sort. It must be a gift to make a remembrance.

Seth?

What? Jim.

Look, if I should need a favor... Sure.

Anything you say.

Well... What's the trouble?

Please, do not ask me now, but if tomorrow or next week I should need your

help... Well, you know where I am. Same hotel.

I'll be glad to give it.

Thank you.

But we have forgotten your lady, and I know just the thing. Good.

Saoui. It pleases you?

Sure it does, but this is out of my range.

It is my gift to you and your lady.

Oh, no.

This thing must be worth a fortune.

Very well, then.

You may buy it.

The price is 50 American dollars.

You lie on your teeth. You may refuse my gifts, but don't tell me my business.

No point in arguing with you.

You know your business.

I wish you and your lady happiness.

Thanks.

Oh, and about that favor.

Yes, Jim, are you going to stay here for a while?

You bet your life I am. Well, then, perhaps you'll hear from me in a few

Good. Take care of yourself.

Oh, it's true, Peter.

As is.

I wish we could just go on like this.

His eyes, they're sad, aren't they?

He seems to be looking out over a great empty distance.

wondering what's ahead for him.

I used to do that.

After my father and mother died, I used to go miles out of my way to avoid the

house where they were caught and bummed.

You had friends.

Gone or changed, I don't know what you said.

When I met you, it seemed like an end of waiting.

Do you understand what we're saying?

Who? He.

Oh.

I don't know if he understands the language.

Pretend the one who gets the idea.

Will you marry me?

Shh.

What a question.

So serious.

Will you marry me?

You know I love you, darling.

Yes.

I've been tempted to leave the heavens.

Too many long nights alone.

Not even a date.

So I got a little too lonely.

And now you're a little too late.

You never were right.

You never would call while I had the blues. You were having a ball.

You thought that I'd be here to run to.

And I'm gonna do to you what I was done to.

Too bad about you, my friend.

It could have been great.

But I was a little too lonely.

And you were a little too late.

Say, that was okay, fellas. We'll put that in tonight.

And be on time for a change.

Hi, fellas.

What's your problem?

They want me to do a benefit in Ankara this Sunday.

And I thought if you happened to be flying that way, I could hitchhike.

Oh, gee, nothing I'd like better, Danny. But if I did, I'd be missing my own

honeymoon. You and Miss Bauer?

This afternoon.

Well, congratulations, Jim.

Real good luck in everything.

Well, if you've got a bride waiting, what are you standing around here for?

Yeah. What for?

Give her my best.

Long distance, please.

New York.

Look what I found.

Please don't tear my shirt. The material is irreplaceable.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Your balcony has a truly amazing view.

Yes. Be sure and drop in any time.

Now, let's talk about you.

You see before you Paul Rankoff.

A miserable thief.

Most unskillful.

I'm always caught.

I have nothing to hide.

Who sent you here?

Who would send me?

Only a fool would employ a man like me. Oh, those are lovely cufflinks.

What do you want?

The diamonds.

Why shouldn't we do business, you and I?

If you have the diamonds, I have the contacts to dispose of them.

Nobody else involved.

So you beat me up, Mr. Brennan.

What do I care?

I'm always beaten up.

But you won't kill me.

Probably so sure.

But just in case something stuck to your fingers, do you mind if I have a look?

Uh -huh.

Now let me show you something, hmm?

You see that door?

If you ever come through it again, I'll ram it right down your throat.

You believe me? Oh, yes, implicitly, I do.

Why didn't you call the police?

Oh, darling, they haven't got time to waste on a petty thief.

Jimmy spoke of diamonds. Why does he come to you?

I haven't heard.

Americans?

Fantastically rich.

And as proof of it, here's your engagement present.

Like it?

More than anything in my whole life.

Just something I stole from an old friend.

Oh, we have to invite him to the wedding?

Mm -hmm.

Forgive me.

What's your problem?

Have you got a cigarette, please?

Sir.

Gently, gently.

Okay. Gently.

How do you want?

Could you not hazard a guess, sir?

Well, it's in my cart.

Pretty good gone over.

Ten or twelve bucks.

Ustanara.

You'll take me for a thief, then?

You'll do, until one comes along.

Temis.

Where are they, sir?

You tell me what, I'll tell you where.

The diamonds.

What diamonds?

White, brilliant, and most valuable.

Sorry, I'm fresh out.

I want those stones, sir.

I haven't got any.

You saw your friend Aziz the other afternoon.

Sure, sir.

He gave them for you, then.

Very

well,

Mr. Brennan.

Until the next time.

Now, you told Officer Sirach here that you spent the entire evening with Miss

Barr. Correct.

Those men that beat you up, have you never seen any of them before?

Nope. Then how do you account for it?

If I ever meet him again, I'll make a point to inquire.

And when was the last time you saw your friend Aziz Rakeem?

Aziz? He's got nothing to do with this.

Since we are all so mystified, how can we be sure?

As a matter of fact, you saw him just a few days ago.

And why ask me?

Policemen's habits.

Rakim has disappeared, Mr. Brennan. Not only from his shop and apartment.

We've searched the city.

Impossible. Not impossible, Brennan. Merely an arresting coincidence. Shall I

tell you another?

One day you are low in funds. The next you plan to marry this charming lady.

I do not think that you would undertake such a step if you were to remain a poor

man.

At the same time, we are informed that $200 ,000 worth of stolen diamonds have

been smuggled into Istanbul from Cairo.

In such a bracelet as yours, Miss Barr.

It is yours for the moment.

It would be a pity to lock it up in the vault.

Wouldn't it?

It's very beautiful.

Well, if we can't help you any further, can we leave now?

Very well, and this...

Officer Sirach has further questions.

One moment, please.

Yes?

Thank you.

This will interest you. The merchant Aziz Rakim has been found.

He was discovered in the harbor area, dead of knife wounds.

You're free to go.

How did it happen? Why did those men beat you up, Jim?

They thought I had a line on some diamonds.

You have them?

I didn't steal them.

I know you didn't, but... Trust me.

Tell me something.

How would you like to be married in Paris?

I think Paris would be very suitable.

Then get upstairs and pack.

Fast.

Jim.

The diamonds. You're going to get them back, aren't you?

Back? Back to whom?

Aziz or those thugs who killed him?

The police.

The police?

The police didn't take a beating for them. I did. Those diamonds only belong

a man who's got them.

Now, go on. Get ready for that $200 ,000 honeymoon.

See you in an hour.

Good day, Miss Bowers. Hello.

But we can't get Mrs. Bennet.

Oh, that's okay, Max. I live here.

We can't get Mrs. Bennet.

On the rock. Get in.

Come in, Brennan. Come in.

You must forgive us. Another hour on the road would have been as it was.

Oh, that's all right.

Coming back to an empty room wouldn't be the same.

I want to leave here.

Yes, sir.

Now, if you get your bloodhounds out of here, I'd like to start packing.

You're leaving us?

Yes, with deep regret.

That's why the sudden decision.

Miss Bower and I are flying to Paris.

We're going to be married.

We wouldn't want to wake up and find you underneath the bed.

Beershalom.

Beershalom.

How do you get?

Will you permit me a personal search?

Of course.

Feel free.

You still looking for those diamonds or what?

At least from his preoccupation.

And you still refuse to help us, eh?

What if I could?

If you know the whereabouts of the diamonds, the Turkish customs

could get off the hook, eh?

What about Aziz?

I'm sorry, that is not my department.

And diamonds aren't my department.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to leave.

No, I don't mind. In fact, I insist.

You are to be deported from Turkey, Mr. Brennan.

Deported?

On what grounds? You are an undesirable alien.

Under suspicion by the police and the customs authorities. Believe me, I can

have your visa revoked and put you on the Paris plane within an hour.

I'll fly my own plane. That won't be possible, I'm afraid. Pending the

clarification of certain technicalities, your aircraft will be impounded.

I see. Well?

That would be a good deal, presuming I had the diamonds.

Those diamonds will never leave Turkey, Mr. Brennan.

Until the time of boarding the plane, you will be in my custody.

You will allow me?

Sure.

You certainly got a reservation from Miss Bauer.

SAS flights reservations, please.

Lido de Young and Ward.

Get your men.

What's the problem? There's a fire. Lido, a partridge.

Hold on.

There's a bit of a deal.

Miss

Bauer.

You see Miss Bauer?

I did you.

I did you.

What do I... Miss Bauer, the Austrian woman. Have you seen her? I saw her.

Where is she? Where'd she go? None came out of the building.

It's no use. They're past recognition.

The fire seems to have started in her part of the building. It's very old.

What can I say?

Nothing.

Mr. Brennan.

Oh, Mr. Brennan.

It's pleasant to see you again.

Is it?

I've already been here two minutes.

What kept you?

Oh, it is nice that you haven't forgotten Paul Rankoff.

May I buy you a drink?

Oh, no. Save your money.

You're the kind that'll die broke.

Oh, thank you.

You know, Mr. Brennan, I am badly paid.

But I make up for it with treachery.

You wouldn't care to buy a little information.

Like what?

Like the name of my employer.

No deal.

It's a pity. His name is Darius.

He's an old acquaintance of yours. You met him once.

In an alley.

He'd like to see you.

Oh, really, he would.

Wonder what we'd talk about.

Oh, I rather suspect diamonds.

I might enjoy that.

This time I can promise you a most civilized meeting.

Good.

Don't count on it.

How good of you to come, Mr. Brennan.

Yes, of course, you do remember me.

Like yesterday.

And naturally, you have certain ideas of violence and revenge.

I assure you, they would be quite ridiculous in those circumstances.

Fascinating room, isn't it, Mr. Brennan?

One can retire from the world of business to the world of beauty.

I was at one time in the importing line, you know. Yes.

As this Rakim said, you're in business together.

No, Mr. Brennan. A bad shot in the dark.

Five years ago, in line with certain of my activities, I had an opportunity of

buying in Cairo $200 ,000 worth of the most beautiful diamonds.

I paid somewhat less for them, of course. I had them smuggled into

Isn't this beautiful?

Am I boring you, Mr Brennan? No, no, no. Sad stories are my favorite.

A foolish bookkeeper of mine stole the diamonds and sold them to Aziz Rahim.

A few days later, Aziz heard that my bookkeeper had met with a fatal

He made arrangements to leave the country.

Didn't make it?

No.

Unfortunately not.

And I never recovered my property, Mr Brennan.

You know, sir, this loss has been a source of considerable unhappiness to

One of the saddest stories I've ever heard.

Mr. Brennan, I feel those diamonds are still in Istanbul.

I call upon you to find them for me. You would be handsomely paid.

Like how much?

Like $10 ,000.

I couldn't swing the deal for that.

I feel you owe it to yourself to try, sir.

I don't think our old friend Aziz would approve.

Got a cigarette?

Of course. Do forgive me.

Like old times, huh, Professor?

In the back alleys.

You're a pretty good talker.

Now, let's talk a little more about Aziz.

Mr. Brennan back to his hotel.

As you say, sir, it will now be the technique of the old days.

Good kid you've got here, Professor.

Get him to tell you sometime how he tried to make his own deal for the

Marge, I said no and that's final. I don't care what we spent for the ticket.

Oh, stop being a stubborn ox.

Well, we're not going to see no Hamlet.

Especially in Turkish.

There's no need to raise your voice, Charles.

Oh, come off it with that Charles routine.

You're not that far from Brooklyn, Marge O 'Hare. You never will be.

It is times like this I know my mother was right.

You are a slob.

Having fun?

Mr. Brannon, how nice to see you.

It's a pleasure to see you, especially wearing that beautiful gown.

What is this, pecker, Dior?

Oh, have a drink, Bernard.

Thanks very much.

Big evening, Flann? Oh, well, no, not really. We thought we might go to the

theater. They're showing Hamlet, you know.

In Turkish.

You know, I think we're going to skip that for the night, Marge. Oh, that'll

a shame. Oh, that'll be some experience, Hamlet in Turkish.

We won't.

Madame Boyle, quelle belle surprise.

How wonderful to find you here. Well, Monsieur Marais.

Charles, you remember Monsieur Marais. Bonjour. Monsieur. And this is Mr.

Brennan. Monsieur.

Monsieur, madame, je peux avoir le plaisir de danser avec vous.

Hein? Vance.

Oh. Oh, oui.

Oui, oui.

If monsieur does not mind. Oh, he doesn't. If you'll excuse us.

French businessman we met coming over. Couldn't take his eyes off of Marge.

Can't blame him.

Waiter.

Whiskey.

You can't tell me about Moray.

Did he happen to tell you what his business is?

Huh? What do you mean?

He's what you might call one of those professional international charmers. You

know, the type.

A great guy with a girl. Well, if he tries to get cozy with Marge... No, no,

He's not that obvious.

But when it comes to that smooth technique, he's the guy that wrote the

But, I'll say this for him.

If your wife likes culture, Moray's certainly got it.

When will I get her home?

I'll break her cultured arm.

Say, if you're going to kiss that show, it's just about curtain down.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm sorry to bust in, but we've got a show to catch. Remember, honey? Look,

dear, if you don't want to go, it's perfectly all right with me. Don't want

go? Me? What, are you kidding?

Sorry, Moraine. See you, Brennan.

Nice meeting you.

The Boyles have just left the hotel, sir.

Thank you very much, sir.

Beautifully. Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Good night. It's been lovely.

Goodbye, Vera.

Good night.

I'm afraid you have made a mistake.

No.

I'm Jim.

Jim. Jim Brennan.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Brennan, I think you've confused my wife with somebody else.

Her name is Karen.

Karen Fieldy.

Oh.

I beg your pardon.

Quite all right.

Good night.

Oh, yes, Mr. Brennan.

That couple were just left.

Feeling's the name, I think. Do you know him?

Mr. and Mrs. Feeling?

Oh, yes.

He is a construction engineer from London.

The consulate here could tell you more about him.

Thanks.

He knows me, darling.

He knows me.

He could have been wrong, you know. A mistake isn't impossible.

He called me Stephanie.

Stephanie.

And he says he knows me.

Yes, I dare say he does.

His name, Brennan, it means nothing to you.

Well, we knew this might happen one day, didn't we?

Look at me.

Are you happy?

You know I am. Do I?

I think I know what it must be like.

Always wondering, groping, searching for memory that's never there.

And then I think of you and all I am and all you've given me and the past

doesn't matter.

It could, you know.

We have a very perfect life together, you and I, Karen.

If you open the past now, it could smash us.

It's for you to decide, darling.

A question mark for the past or one for the future.

It's your choice.

I can plead my own case quite simply.

I love you very much.

Morning, sir. Morning.

Mrs. Fielding in, please.

Are you expected, sir?

I'm an old friend.

Name's Brennan.

Do you mind waiting

here, sir?

No, it's all right. Oh, uh, Mr. and Mrs. Fielding lived here long?

Uh, no, sir.

Mr. Fielding uses this house only during his visits from England.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, Mr. Brennan?

Mr. Brennan?

Me?

Hey.

What is this?

What's happened?

Last night, after five years when I saw you at my... The woman you saw last

night was not the woman you knew.

Do you mean to tell me that you're not Stephanie Bauer? Perhaps I was.

Five years ago, I lost my memory as a result of what the doctors call shock.

I was found wandering the streets by the man who is now my husband.

My life began with Douglas Fielding. I'm quite content with that life.

What I was before has no meaning for me.

Steffi, listen to me.

The day you disappeared in that fire, we were going to fly to Paris together.

Please, I have no intention of healing. I'm telling you the truth.

I'm not interested in my past.

No, and you, Mr. Brennan.

I'm sorry if I hurt you, but there seems to be no other way to make you

understand.

Now, if you'll please excuse me.

Mr. Brennan.

I'm sorry they didn't tell me you were here.

You seen my wife?

Yes.

Cigarette? No, thanks.

Tell me, Brennan, how well did you know Karen?

I was in Lumpeter.

And she with you?

Yes.

I see.

Now you find her well and happy in a home and life where she's loved.

And I may add, terribly needed.

You intend to change all that?

I don't intend to let her spend the rest of her life in a state of amnesia. For

whose sake, Brennan? Hers or yours?

Brennan, I ask you, what could you do that wouldn't be selfish and cruel?

I assure you, Karen's happy.

Happy?

How can she be happy when she can't remember the greater part of her life?

Perhaps the best part.

What kind of happiness is that?

Let her know the truth.

Then we'll know where we stand.

My wife isn't a trophy in some sort of contest between you and me, Brennan.

I don't care where we stand.

Well, I do.

I think she ought to decide which part of her life she wants to remember.

And which part she'd sooner forget.

We're leaving for England tonight.

Is there anything else?

No.

Not for the moment. Very well.

I think you'd better go.

Mr. Fielding has called, madam.

He says he will pick up the plane tickets on his return.

Thank you, Bruno. Those are packed. You can take them down.

Yes,

madam?

You called?

No.

Tell Mr. Fielding I had to go out. I shan't be very long.

Yes, ma 'am.

This way, madame.

This way. Do you mind if I sit over there?

Not at all. Excuse me.

Madame?

What? Yes.

What could give me, please?

Very well.

Mr. Brennan, I didn't expect you so soon.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Et pour, monsieur?

Nothing right now, thanks.

I see you still favor vodka gimlets.

Still?

Okay.

Let's not start that again.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

The day Douglas found me, I was holding this in my hand.

Your visit this morning made me think of it.

I thought you might know why.

Simple.

I gave it to you.

Why?

Because I was very much in love with you.

We were to be married.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here.

No, please.

Don't go.

Maybe I was just feeling a little sorry for myself.

Why did you really come here?

I came here because I'm a coward, Mr. Brennan.

I think one has to be very... ...and turn one's back on it.

This morning I tried to be very strong and send away my only hope of recovering

the past.

But I'm not strong enough. I... I don't know what I mean to you, but

you mustn't make a mistake.

Whatever you're going to tell me, it won't change my life with my husband.

Your name is Stephanie Bauer.

Your home was in Munich.

You were a dress designer.

You lived alone.

Your parents were killed in the war.

These things... Are you sure?

Came through here on a cruise.

1951.

We met.

You were supposed to go home, but you didn't.

You stayed here.

Don't you remember anything?

No, nothing.

You must remember that bracelet. I gave it to you. It meant a lot to you.

And this place here, this table, why did you choose this particular table?

I'll tell you why.

We sat here together, often.

I'm sorry.

My husband will be waiting. We're leaving tonight.

Come in.

It's just Charlie.

Hey, honey, he's here.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Ah, leaving? Yeah, me and old dollface are moving out in the morning. Six o

'clock plane to Paris.

It's been delightful making your acquaintance, Mr. Brennan. Indeed it

especially me.

Hey, don't you get a kick out of them sunglasses? You know, I had to... Come

Charlie, we'll be late. Well, if I don't see you again... You will be.

We're leaving on the same plane.

Well, we are?

Well... Maybe you could show me Paris if Charlie isn't too busy with... Come on,

sweetheart.

Good night, Brennan.

Is Mr.

Brennan in?

Yes, Inspector.

Should I announce him? No, no, no. It's a prior visit.

His room is 422, is it? Yes, sir.

Thanks.

Run!

Brennan. Hi.

I thought I'd missed you.

Yeah?

No, I was just saying goodbye to some friends.

Really?

May I ask who?

Sure, Mr. and Mrs. Boyle.

Delightful people.

Americans, of course.

How about a drink?

Pity your friends weren't here to receive your farewells. May I ask when

are leaving?

Yeah, sure, tomorrow.

You'd have liked a delightful person. Yes, yes, I'm sure I would.

Shall we go to your room? Yeah.

Drink? No, thanks, not while I'm working.

Ah, that's a good boy.

I see you also plan to leave Istanbul.

Yep, in the morning.

Big diamond search is still on, huh? Go ahead, help yourself.

Well, I really can't ask you about Mrs. Fielding.

Oh, I'm getting a little tired of discussing my personal affairs with the

Turkish police.

Customs department.

All right, customs.

I just had to saw her in the hotel bar this afternoon.

You'd be surprised how legal it was.

Tell her about the parts. Try to.

Why don't you take it?

She didn't. Nothing registered.

You know, one day I'm going to pack a bag without you getting your nose in it.

Tell me, when did she leave?

About four hours ago, do you mind?

No.

Did she seem upset when she left you?

She was trying to catch up with the past.

She went home to her husband. How do you expect she to feel?

Brennan, Mrs.

Fielding never returned home.

She disappeared.

But that was over four hours ago.

Yes. How did she leave here, do you know?

Well, how would I know?

In a taxi, I guess. I don't know.

Well, if you should try to reach her.

Well, let me know.

Oh, sure. Yeah, I think.

I'll be at police headquarters, Officer Sriracha's office.

Yeah.

Say, operator, did you just ring here?

Yes. It was a man talking, wasn't it?

Thanks.

Who is it?

Telegram, Mr. Brennan.

Okay, bring it in.

Oh, thanks.

What's the idea?

Mr. Darius would like to see you.

Darius?

Can't say it's exactly mutual.

Stay where you are.

You shouldn't be so careless.

Look, I'm warning you... You're not warning me now.

Go ahead.

The woman.

She in the building?

She in the building?

Can't speak English, huh?

So, Mr. Brennan, you have the game as you desire it.

So long as you're calling the ground rules, why don't you get rid of this

ugly? He makes me bashful.

You know, of course, that we have

Mrs. Fielding.

That might upset Mr. Fielding, but I don't see how to buy any diamonds.

I put it to you, sir, that you are still very much in love with the woman you

presume to be dead.

I shall be happy to make an exchange.

The diamonds in return for Mrs. Fielding's release alive and well.

Same way you released Aziz?

Aziz was a very stubborn man, sir.

As far as I'm concerned, Mrs.

Fielding might be home right now with her husband.

I never bluff, Mr. Brennan.

One is so indefensible when it is cold.

After you, sir.

What are they doing? What do they want?

Okay, boys.

You've got it.

What's next?

I wonder how much you really value those stones.

I haven't got those diamonds.

But she has.

That is not only ungallant, sir, but a lie.

Do you think I'd still be hanging around Istanbul if I could lay my hands on

them?

Sure. I came here to get them.

But she got them, didn't you?

No. But you didn't even know that she was still alive.

I saw her picture in a London newspaper.

I traced her here.

She came back to get those diamonds and she got them, didn't you? I came here

with my husband. I don't know about any diamonds.

I can't remember.

A very convenient case of amnesia.

You offered me a deal.

Ten thousand bucks to find him.

Still hold?

Still hold.

Where are they, Stephanie?

I don't know.

Where are they?

I don't know.

I gave them to you.

The day before the fire.

No, I... I can't remember.

You were going to smuggle them out of Turkey and meet me in Paris.

I can't.

I don't know.

Stephanie, where are they?

All.

Perhaps you can persuade Mrs. Fielding.

I find no physical damage.

The effects of fear on the human mind are difficult to gauge.

Better risk, Mr. Fielding.

For now, we can do no more.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll come by again in the morning.

Gentlemen.

Vernon, I owe you an apology.

Save it.

I've got a six o 'clock plane to catch.

That is, with the inspector's permission.

Do you mind if I use your phone?

When she comes out of it, just tell her goodbye and she's got nothing to regret.

I don't know.

Jim.

Wait for me.

Jim,

I'm burning.

I can't. I can't. Karen.

Run away.

You're all right.

My darling, you're safe now.

Karen.

My darling, can you hear me?

Make it go.

Karen. Please, make it go away.

It's all over now, Karen.

It's all over.

Douglas. Karen.

You should be resting.

There's so much to think about, remembering, having it all so clear

In the car the first night we met Jim, do you remember what you said?

Very well.

I said you had a choice to make.

Come and sit down.

I've made my choice.

We'll go back to England together.

I'll be well again and I'll make you happy more than before.

Now that you've decided, would you mind telling me why?

Because I'm your wife. I want to have a marriage.

You're my wife and I'm sure you care for me.

You're very grateful.

You feel drawn to me by every emotion except love.

That's reserved for Jim Brennan.

My life is with you, Douglas.

I wonder how grateful you'd be if I told you I've known who you were in the

first month.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to lose you.

I've known about Jim Brennan, too.

What happened to me it wasn't your fault, Douglas.

Do you remember that young psychiatrist who examined you in London? I think his

name was Evans.

He was under the impression he could cure you.

I sent him away.

Now what are you to say?

I say you are still my dearest friend, whatever you have done.

I'll try to prove it to you.

Flight to Paris.

That's our flight through to Paris.

Thank you. Thank you.

You are Mr. Boyle? My friend.

Is this your complete baggage?

It better be, with the way she packs. Your baggage will be returned shortly.

Come here, technicalities. If you will accompany us, please.

Now, wait a minute. That's your trouble, Charlie. You never understand

technicalities. Technicalities? You don't even know what technicalities is.

Yes, very shortly.

Goodbye.

Oh, please accept my apologies, but I have to examine your luggage. May I have

your keys, please? Why me? Because you are such a big shot.

Oh, so they're bothering you, too.

No, no, the inspector never bothers me. We've got a deal. But I wouldn't like my

friends to miss their plane.

Let me handle it. Just so we get out of here. Do you have your keys?

Would you mind telling me what this is all about?

Well, it's about $200 ,000 worth of trouble. I think we can take care of it.

Thank you, Mr. Brennan. You see, I told you. You should have listened to your

mother.

Inspector, you're a success.

Is this a confession or a declaration?

It's up to you.

Final call.

SAS, flight SK852.

All passengers, please, on board.

Your plan?

That's still up to you.

And Mr. and Mrs. Boyler, feed the girl.

My gosh, la riale, then.

We're almost at the airport.

You're a pretty good cop.

Oh, yes.

It is a pity that you will not be here to read my report. It should be quite a

classic.

So long, Brenda.

Good flight.

So long, Nero.

Fasten your seatbelts, please.

Please fasten your seatbelts.

Thank you.

No reason to be nervous, ladies and gentlemen.

We've been ordered back.

Please fasten your seatbelts again.
