I love you.

Well, you've seen this?

Yes, sir.

Nice of Interpol to let us know.

Yes, sir.

Well?

Mr. Valentine's perfectly free to come back to this country. He's committed no

crime. He's never been caught.

By us or the French or the Americans.

I'll commit another one and we won't be able to prove it.

Unless... Unless what?

I'd like to have someone watching him.

Oh, undercover men?

Oh, yes, sort of.

Sergeant Waters?

I know who I want for this job. Who?

If you give me permission to do this thing my own way, sir.

So long as you manage to put Valentine inside for a long, long time.

Now, who are we getting, sir?

Sergeant Waters, if you find out who we're getting, you'll be back on the

beat next morning. If you find out and tell anyone, I'll have you fricasseed

and served for breakfast.

Clear? Yes, sir. Very clear.

Very clear indeed.

And remember, the two most important things.

I've said them before, I'll say them again.

First, you'll have to be patient.

Mr. Valentine may not feel like going into action straight away.

You've just got to wait.

Second, you're on your own.

You don't know me, I can't help you.

Unless, of course, it comes to the point where you're having your head sawn off.

Give us a buzz if that happens, but not till it's actually happening.

Well, number six, good luck.

You'll need it.

The house is, of course, perfection, owned by a lady of title.

I, um...

I feel I must tell you, sir, there seems no point in inspecting the house unless

you're prepared to pay a very high rent indeed.

Now, we do have other houses, of course.

I sent you a cable from Monte Carlo. Did you read it?

I expect one of my colleagues did.

What name was it, sir? I didn't quite... Valentine.

Charles Valentine.

Oh, Mr.

Valentine. Oh, yes, of course.

To beg your pardon, I haven't quite realized.

Three oil paintings, 18th century school of Gainsborough.

Yes, well, there they are on the wall.

There's somebody at the door. Shall I go? Yes, do.

Good afternoon.

Mr Valentine, please. Oh, come in.

Would you mind waiting? I'm afraid he's busy.

Not at all busy.

But Lady Arlington was particularly anxious we should trek through the

entire inventory.

Tell Lady Arlington I suppose she's honest.

And who are you?

Welland, sir.

Or Manson. From the agency, sir.

Oh, yes.

Would you like to see my references?

I'm sure they're splendid.

And Lady Arlington is also very anxious to know exactly how long you'll be

wanting the house.

As long as London amuses me.

Which reminds me, put out my dinner jacket, would you? The white one. You'll

find it upstairs.

Yes, sir.

She did think a month note is either side.

Yes, sir.

Certainly, sir.

hurry by and there's so much I want to say to

you but I find that I'm a prisoner of time

and the minutes keep slipping away a lifetime

isn't long enough to love you

But here and now, this vow to you I give.

We'll make the most of each magical moment

together.

For I'm gonna love you.

Excuse me, sir. You like to see Miss Clyde now?

Yes. I show you.

Oh, this way, please, sir.

All changed since your day, sir. A big change, please.

I'm sorry, Mr. Valentine.

I got instructions.

Thank you.

To what do I owe the honor?

I saw him bringing you this way. I couldn't think why.

And I'm terribly curious.

Well, I'm glad of that.

Oh, my name is Valentine.

I know.

I'm curious about you, too.

My name's Jimmy Gale.

His name's Luigi, if that matters.

What's the matter?

He's dead.

What?

Must have fallen on his own knife.

You better go and see Carol, quick.

Are you sure he's dead? Yes, and you don't want to get involved.

Go on.

You never were much of a waiter.

Just a minute.

Oh, it's you.

I couldn't wait to see you.

After how many years?

Last year in Paris, three years ago in New York. Not bad for you.

Not bad at all.

And how soon are you leaving me this time?

Darling. I mean... Found anyone yet?

Carol, darling, don't say anything you'll be sorry for later.

You're a swine, you know that, don't you? Yes. And a murderer.

Never carried a weapon in my life.

Never killed anything bigger than a fly.

You're still a murderer.

Believe that when I'm told it by a judge.

And you still love me.

And hate you.

Of course.

Sorry,

Carol. I just wanted a word with Valentine.

About our friend?

Yes, don't worry.

I've got him in the car.

Just about to take him off.

Where will you take him?

Oh, well, somewhere suitable, you know.

Good night.

Do you know him?

Jimmy Gale? Oh, he's been around the last few nights.

What does he do for a living?

I've no idea why.

Well, that'll come in very handy.

Sir?

A piece of news concerning Mr. Valentine.

Oh, from your own... Fricasseed.

You know what it means?

Yes, sir.

Sliced, fried and served with sauce.

I looked it up in the dictionary. Right.

What were you going to ask?

Was that from number six, sir?

No, but it gives me a reason for visiting Mr. Valentine, which I've

always wanted to do.

Any more silly questions before I go?

Yes, sir. Why do you call this jet number six?

Is there a reason?

There's a reason.

I'm glad to say you'll never guess it.

Good morning. Good morning. I'm Superintendent Hallett of Scotland Yard.

I'd like to see Mr. Valentine.

He's having his breakfast. Well, that's nice. I could do with a cup of tea

myself.

Someone to see you, sir. Superintendent.

Hallett of Scotland Yard. How do you do?

How do you do?

Do you mind?

If I can ask you a few questions.

You went to the Embassy Club last night, sir. Yes.

And your waiter disappeared.

By what?

The man who waited on you when you first went in.

A man named Luigi Pirani.

Oh.

A little later, he couldn't be found.

And he hasn't shown up, not at the club, not at his home.

Well?

Well, the last time anyone saw him was when he took you backstage to see Miss

Clyde. Oh, that chap.

I'm sorry, waiters are like Chinese to me. I can't tell one from another.

So you have no idea what happened to him, sir?

My dear superintendent, do you think I killed him?

Oh, no, sir. It's not your line of business, not Waiter's.

I didn't think you'd be able to help, but I did want to meet you.

Know your enemy?

Yes.

There's only one thing to know about me.

I play with all my cards face upwards.

Oh, yes?

You suspect me of being a criminal because of one or two unfortunate

accidents in the past. One or two.

It's no use my saying I'm innocent. You wouldn't believe me.

No.

I'm sure you've put someone on the job of watching me.

Yes, I have.

Thought so.

Yes, I thought you did.

Of course you won't tell me who it is.

Yes, why not?

Number six.

Number six?

A code name.

Oh. Would you give Number Six my compliments and tell him he's wasting

his time?

He won't find out anything against me because there's nothing to find out.

And he wouldn't find out even if there were.

I'll try and remember that.

Thank you.

I had to get on with him, sir.

Oh, psychological warfare.

Oh, that.

Except I don't know who the psychologist was, him or me.

Well, my motto for number six. Sir?

Fifteen down.

Patience flees, the night is long.

Mr. Gale, sir.

Sorry I couldn't get here sooner.

Had rather a full day.

With our friend?

Have you ever tried to get rid of a corpse?

No.

Interesting.

Can I get myself a drink?

Of course.

What did you do with them?

Secret, Valentine.

Even from you.

So what have you come to tell me?

To tell you that I admire you more than anyone in the world.

And after that?

To tell you that I want to work with you.

Learn from you.

Learn what?

How you do it.

I've read everything I can find about you.

There, you see, at the end, there's always an alibi.

That's why you've never been caught. A perfect alibi.

So, the way I worked it out, that means you must always have had an accomplice.

Which means?

Which means you'll need one here in London.

Me.

I don't know you.

Oh, I've killed someone in front of your eyes. I've covered up my traces. The

police will never know. What more do you want?

Get yourself another drink.

Besides, I've got a wonderful idea for your next victim.

Answer it.

Yes?

Yes, I understand.

Can you hold on? I ask her.

Who is it this time? A Duke or a Mara Roger?

Miss Leaven?

Yes? There is a Mr Gale at reception.

Can he see you? No.

She says no.

She got out of bed the wrong side.

There is no right side.

Lot in my coat. I'm going out. Yes. Good morning, Smith.

Good morning, miss.

The car's waiting.

Take me to a place I can buy shoes.

I have no shoes.

Only 127 pairs.

I'm bored with them.

You told Jimmy Gale to go away? Oh, yes, madame. Good.

But I was already on my way up in the lift. I don't want to see you. I'm going

shopping. Which bit of London are you buying this time?

If you have something to say, say it quick. I'm leaving.

You want to borrow money?

I want you to meet a friend of mine.

No, thank you. Very rich, very handsome, just your sort.

No.

Then I shall have to arrange it.

How do you do, Miss Levin?

How do you do?

Nadia's here on holiday, spending her ill-gotten gains.

Charles is here doing the same thing. You should have a lot in common.

I hope.

Excuse me, I'll go and make a telephone call.

A scotch, please. Yes, sir.

Hello. Oh, hello, Carol.

Wait here.

Are your games really forgotten?

How did you get them?

I wouldn't dream of telling you.

Why wouldn't you, darling? What's stopping you?

Hello, Carol.

Hello, Charles, dear. Get me a drink.

May I introduce you?

Yes. Nadia Neven, Carol Clyde. How do you do?

So you don't know how Charles makes his money?

Well, well.

We've only just met.

That gives you a few days to find out. Charles, dear, my drink.

Carol!

So sorry.

I am clumsy.

In more ways than one.

Charles, shall we go?

Goodbye, Miss Clyde.

Little rich girl.

Her father was a Swiss bank.

Her mother was a Greek shipping line.

Orphan.

Yes, millions of it. It's all hers.

And Valentine's been seeing her?

Every evening this week.

That's his operation pretty publicly.

He always does.

That's the beauty of it.

But he doesn't know he's being watched by your number six.

Oh, yes, he does.

What? He doesn't know who number six is, of course, any more than you do.

Thank you.

Wait for me, Smith.

I won't be long. Right, miss.

Have we quarreled?

Yes.

I thought you were dining out, sir. We decided not to.

Anything I can get you, sir?

No. I'm leaving in a moment.

Excuse me.

Take your wrap off?

No.

Cigarette? Drink?

No.

Charles, you are being stupid.

Obstinate. To make such a mystery out of this big deal.

No mystery at all.

Tell me then.

But I'm not allowed to tell you.

Then.

If it makes you any happier, it is an oil deal with one of the Arab countries.

Now, may we talk about something else?

You are still being stupid.

Oh?

You need another 100,000 pounds.

Sorry I mentioned it.

Why can't I help you?

We can make it a business deal.

Darling. Don't say that.

Get this into your head, please.

I have to find some more money to complete this deal, but it is my

business. It's got nothing to do with you.

I'll never borrow money from a woman for a lot of reasons.

There's one special reason why I'll never borrow money from you.

Because I'm in love with you.

Oh, no.

Because you believe in the superiority of the man.

Goodbye.

Jimmy, can we talk?

As soon as possible.

Something I want you to find out.

Mr. Valentine to see you, sir.

Return visit.

You don't mind?

Delighted.

Just to tell you, I'm sacking your number six.

And I think you should do the same.

Oh? Why?

He's not very skillful.

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

I discovered his name is not Welland.

And he wasn't sent by the agency.

Well, that was a bit of a waste of time then, wasn't it?

If you'd asked me, I'd told you.

I keep nothing in my desk except my insurance policies.

Cards face upwards, eh?

As always.

Goodbye, Superintendent.

Bad luck, sir.

Uh-huh.

Cards face upwards.

Might try that, too.

Get me the telephone number of Miss Carol Clyde. She's a singer at the

nightclub. The embassy club, sir. The embassy club.

I know him very well. I've known him for years.

How many years, Miss Clive? Four, five. I don't remember.

Before the Lesage affair or around the time of Miss Vanderhoff?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, I thought you'd say that. What do you expect me to do?

Have you met Nadia Levin?

Yes. Then you know she's in danger. You know it as well as I do.

Go and see her. Tell her what you know.

No.

I suppose I'll have to do it myself.

The thing to do is to say nothing.

My own principle.

I've never spoken to a policeman in my life. Not even to ask the way.

The policeman is here.

Miss Levin, how do you do? Bye, Nadia.

Don't go.

Look, tell him my name's Jimmy Gale, would you?

I'd do it myself.

But you know my principle.

Jimmy, I want you to stay. If you insist.

Stay if you like, Mr. Gale. I'm not going to take very long.

Is it advised?

If it is, I don't like it.

May I sit down?

Yes.

Mr. Charles Valentine. I hate him.

Yes. Mr. Charles Valentine has never done anything to justify the police

bringing a charge of any kind against him in any country.

But it is certainly true that Mr. Valentine has been acquainted with

several young ladies, wealthy young ladies who have met with their deaths,

all by unfortunate accident.

Each of them at a time when Mr. Valentine was somewhere else.

That's all?

Except to point out what you already know.

That you are a very wealthy young woman.

And how many were these?

Several?

Five on my count over the last ten years.

And now I shall ring Charles.

I have said nothing but the truth. Thank you, Superintendent.

You can go.

Jimmy, get me Charles on the telephone, quick.

Lothar, Smith, come here. I want you to hear this.

Well, I told you, Miss Levin.

Good day.

Charles, Nadia wants to tell you something.

Heaven knows what.

Charles, a policeman came and said horrible things about you, so I told him

to go away.

Yes, of course I'm still angry with you.

Will I what?

I'd love to.

He wants me to go to his place in the country tomorrow.

Sorry, darling, I was just telling the others.

Oh, I didn't know.

It's a secret. You are not to tell anyone.

Yes, Charles.

Yes, of course.

What's the time?

11.30, sir.

Should be on their way by now.

Who?

Try and find out where his place in the country is, would you?

Who, sir?

Valentine's.

It's beautiful.

It'll be even more beautiful when I turn the heat on.

And you never told me about it.

Well, it's not a place I tell anyone about.

Not even your girlfriend?

I've had it for years, but I hardly ever come down here. And when I do, it's

because I want to be by myself.

Small brandy to warm you up?

Thank you.

Then... Why bring me?

You are different.

Thank you again.

Am I forgiven?

Charles, I want to talk with you.

These other girls... Darling, don't get jealous with my past.

I've already told you.

You're different.

But the policeman said that... Oh, I can guess what the police said.

I suppose he said I'm a sort of blue beard.

It all started because when I was once engaged to a girl who was killed in a

car crash.

Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

Be careful.

I'm a dangerous person to know.

Well, I want to know you.

On one condition.

Which is?

You won't be stupid about money.

Oh, that.

You need it for your deal. Of course I will help you. It's settled. I'll give

you the check tomorrow.

And...

I'm not the kind of girl who has a car crash.

Good evening, Mr. Valentine.

I sacked you three days ago.

I didn't know policemen carried guns in this country.

Did you find out my name?

No, it's not Welland.

No, it's Antrobus.

Glad to meet you, Mr. Antrobus.

I used to know your daughter.

He's alive, all right.

You don't hit him as hard as I do.

Take him away somewhere.

You mean, you want him to stay alive?

Or not.

I mean, I don't want to see him again.

Um, boss.

May I call you boss?

I, um, dealt with Luigi as a personal favor because I like you.

But don't you think it's time we got on a more business-like basis?

You want me to pay you?

I don't like wages. I like shares.

What kind of share?

Oh, the big sort.

His? Yes.

Want it?

Never used them. Too dangerous.

I'm fond of danger.

Who is he?

Father of one of your old girlfriends?

Don't bother to find out.

Anyway, he's a nuisance.

Don't want him around, especially now.

Shall I tell you how I see the situation?

Do.

Any moment now, Nadia's going to give you a very large check.

You're going to whip that into one of your bank accounts.

Where is your bank?

Switzerland, I suppose.

Swiss bankers tell no tales.

Gone?

Then you want Nadia killed as soon as possible.

Stop her telling a lawyer or...

Demanding an IOU, am I right?

Not doing badly.

Needs careful planning.

Better bump him off, in case he gets in the way.

Then Nadia has to be killed.

How much does that add up to?

50% of Nadia's cheque.

No.

Right, goodbye.

33?

What has the cheque done before?

£100,000.

Done.

Come on, Dad.

Time to go home.

Good night, Daddy. I'll start talking.

I'm sorry to disturb you so early in the day, Mr. Valentine. Do sit down.

But I thought I'd better see you as soon as I could.

What about?

Your man Welland.

You told me you'd sacked him. Yes.

Seen anything of him since?

No. Nothing at all? No.

Well, keep a lookout for him, would you, sir? Because he might be dangerous.

To me?

What was it, Sergeant Waters?

Well, his landlady heard him muttering he was going to get Valentine.

He had a gun, so she called the police.

But he'd gone and he never came back, so we decided we ought to warn you.

Thank you very much.

I'll keep a lookout for him.

And you thought he was one of my men.

A bad mistake.

Yes.

Yes, I'd have warned you about Welland yesterday, but I knew I couldn't get

hold of you. You had gone to your place in the country with Miss Levin.

I told you that.

That's a silly question, Mr. Valentine.

And I don't want to give you a silly answer.

Morning, miss. Where is Lotte?

It's her day off, miss.

I don't need you either. I'll be out all day. You can do what you like. Oh, thank

you, miss.

I'll just pop over and see my old mum.

Or something.

Good morning, darling.

We are not going to quarrel today.

Never again.

Good.

Why especially?

Because I brought my checkbook. Oh, that.

Swiss francs? Fine.

You will tell me how to make it out.

We'll do that over lunch.

Madame. Two dry martinis, please. Two dry martinis, yes.

Did you enjoy our day of the country?

Very much.

Tell anyone about it? Of course not.

It was a secret.

The police knew about it.

How? I'm curious to know.

There were people in the room when you rang, but I told them it was a secret.

Your maid?

She wouldn't do such a thing. She's been with me for years.

Jimmy?

Why should he tell the police?

Smith?

Smith. I don't like Smith anyhow. He's not a good driver.

But does it really matter?

No. Well, at least not for the moment.

It's a matter of toll.

Smith can't do anything to stop us.

I could get Nadia to sack him.

If you want to.

And if you're sure.

Sure?

It might not be him.

It might be me.

Yes, it might.

Do you want to see my credentials?

A couple of dead bodies?

No, thank you.

I'd rather see this.

Body of middle-aged man recovered from the Thames.

Verdict of suicide, I should think, wouldn't you?

The important thing is, did you get the cheque?

Yes.

Can I see it?

We trust each other.

That much?

5,000 towns in Swiss francs.

I rather wanted to see who the payee was.

Don't trust anybody that far.

Anyway... I'm going abroad tomorrow.

Sudden business trip.

You tell Nadia.

I'll tell her tonight.

When do I go into action?

I'll tell you tomorrow before I go.

Oh, well...

See you tomorrow then. See you tomorrow.

Shut up

I

Said shut up

Well, Smudger, what do you think?

Prevented detention this time?

I was tempted, Sergeant.

Yes, you were, weren't you?

Well, it was her own fault, really.

Very careless of her, leaving all that stuff around. Very careless of you,

taking a job in a place where I go visiting.

You only saw me for a moment. I didn't know you recognized me. Well, you know

now, or I take him away and this.

I'm afraid I didn't manage to get a hold of Miss Levin, sir.

She just left the hairdressers. She's on her way to a cocktail party.

Don't try too hard. It can wait.

Sir? In fact, the longer the better.

Seat suitable for a pigeon.

I must look at my face.

Give yourself a drink, darling.

Thank you.

Where are we going next?

You mean you didn't get enough dinner?

I want to dance.

Oh, well... Let's think of somewhere new.

Answer me, darling, would you?

Sure. Hello?

Yes, I'm afraid she's busy for the moment. Can I give her a message?

Who is it?

The hotel manager.

What? Now say that again, would you?

Charles, come here.

Oh, thank you very much. Yes, I'll tell her.

Darling, my jewelry has gone.

It's safe. The police have got it.

And they've got Smith.

Smith? Don't you worry about it.

You stay here and I'll go and see these people.

What people?

Well, I'll try and come back here later. Anyway, I'll call you.

But our last evening. You are going to Switzerland tomorrow.

I may decide not to.

Good evening, madam. Good evening, Major Steele. We have your table ready for

you. Mr.

Valentine,

nice to see you, sir. I want to talk to you.

You had a waiter here who disappeared.

A man called Luigi Pirani.

Yes, sir. Did he ever come back?

No, sir. Ever hear of him again?

No, sir. You're lying.

No, sir. Why should I be lying?

For the same reason you're going to start telling me the truth.

Thank you, sir.

I have never heard of him again.

You mean you want more?

The police came.

There were questions.

I don't know what happened after that.

I got myself a new waiter, that's all.

And Pirani's insurance card? And the things he left here, what did you do

with them?

Send them back to his wife.

Where does his wife live?

I'm sorry, I don't know, sir. You know, right?

Perhaps the office.

Now take me to the office.

How much did Mr. Gale pay you?

It was all a game, sir. It was a joke.

Including the knife?

Yes.

We used tomato sauce for the blood.

How much did he pay you?

100 pounds.

But it was a joke, sir.

Mr. Gale wanted to become your friend. Oh, yes.

Good joke.

Sorry I've been so long, darling.

It's all settled. You'll get your jewelry back tomorrow, I should think.

Now, are you ready to go dancing?

I feel like making this a celebration.

Because you're going away?

I've changed my mind.

I've decided I can't bear to leave you.

That's good!

I've cancelled my trip. We'll do something together instead.

We'll go to the country.

To a cottage?

Only this time it's to be a real secret.

A secret no one else knows.

No one in the world.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Oh, it's a message from the assistant commissioner, sir.

He'd like to know how number six is getting on. My compliments to the

assistant commissioner. To the best of my knowledge, number six is getting on

fine.

Is he still being a patient flea, sir?

I don't think the flea will have to be patient much longer.

Oh, is something happening soon?

Today, with luck. And I don't tell the assistant commissioner that, because

there's still a couple of things that might go wrong.

Send Miss Jenkins up right away, will you?

Morning, boss.

Reporting for instructions.

Jimmy, there are no instructions.

What? The deal's off.

What's gone wrong?

Nothing.

Now look, Valentine.

I decided I don't need a partner.

Goodbye, Jimmy.

This is ridiculous. I said goodbye.

What could I do, Mr. Gale? He came here. He saw me. He knew I was alive. I told

you to move somewhere else. I tried.

You try. You try. Find somewhere else to live.

Why didn't I really kill you?

I'm sorry. She's getting dressed now. She's getting ready to go out. Where's

she going? I don't know. She didn't say.

Look, tell her I want to see her, will you?

Jimmy, what do you want?

Get rid of her.

Where are you going, Nadia?

Somewhere with Valentine?

Abroad? To his place in the country?

Where are you going?

Miss Levin here.

There is a man in my suite. He's annoying me.

Will you please have him taken away?

Nadia, don't go.

As quickly as possible, please.

I've warned you, Nadia.

Don't go.

So you found Luigi Perani?

Yes. All right, I staged that for your benefit, but I really did kill Welland.

Did you?

You saw the paper.

It said middle-aged man.

It didn't say Welland. I've told you, it was Welland.

Right here, chap, you need a drink.

Gin and tonic?

Yeah. Take this one. Help touch it.

Get myself another.

What are you taking now, dear?

Jimmy, I can't trust you.

I'm not going to let you out of my sight, you know.

Is that what you call a gooseberry?

Cheers.

You see, it's not just Pirani and Welland.

There's the question of Smith.

What's Smith down there?

Haven't they told you yet?

That's rather slow of them.

Drink up, man. It's doing you good.

Valentine.

If you think... Can I give you the other half?

Valentine.

Nadia, start walking, darling.

I'll be there in two minutes.

I can never get in front of your hotel.

I'll pick you up on the corner, shall I?

By the traffic lights.

Gerald! Come here.

I'm rehearsing. Look, Jimmy, I've got no time... Valentine's gone off with Nadia.

Well? I've got to find them.

So find them.

I don't know where they've gone.

I'll make a guess. It's his place in the country.

It's possible.

And I'll make another guess. I don't know where that is, but you do.

And why should I tell you?

He's going to kill her.

No, I don't believe it.

He's gonna kill her.

And I've got to stop him.

All right.

Shall I draw the curtains?

Do, and I'll get a drink.

Is it drink time yet?

Think of your diving.

One small drink and we're not going yet, are we? I don't want to.

Will it be a good day?

Marvelous.

Maybe we should start back quite soon. You know, take our time over it.

Stop somewhere on the way.

I know a very good place.

Sports car, would you say?

You're expecting someone?

Yes, I am.

Good evening, Jimmy.

How dare you follow me? Nadia, leave us, will you? No.

Nadia, please.

Get into the car, will you, darling?

I shan't be more than two minutes.

You got the address from Carol, as I suspected.

Valentine, you can't do this on your own.

Can't I? You're a fool to even try it.

We should go back to the original plan. It's the only reasonable thing to do.

For you. And for you.

I once told your employer.

I played with my cat's face upwards. All right, I'll show you them. All of them.

You pretend to kill Pirani to get my confidence.

You pretend to kill Welland. I told you I did kill him.

You passed information to the police.

Lotter didn't do it and Smith didn't do it. That left only you.

You did this because you're a police agent.

An agent called Number Six.

All you want was to get my confidence and lead me up to the neck into a plot

to murder Nadia.

Get all the evidence against me and arrest me at the last possible moment.

You're mad.

Perhaps, but I'm not a fool.

Remember this cheque?

I'm not going to put it into my account. I've changed my mind.

On the way back to London, we shall stop for dinner and I shall ask Nadia to

marry me.

You can't arrest me for that, Jimmy, or for anything.

Good night.

I killed a man for you. I want to be paid.

Get back to Scotland Yard and tell them you failed.

You'll marry her, you'll kill her sometime later and get all the money and

I'll get nothing.

Oh no, you can't get away with that.

I won't let you.

I said goodbye, Jimmy.

No.

You think I'm a policeman? You're crazy. I just want my share, that's all.

Do you remember Welland's gun?

I thought it might come in useful.

Now sit down.

And write me a check for the money you owe me.

Thirty-three thousand pounds.

And I'll tell you exactly what to write.

Confessions under duress don't mean a thing.

This one will.

Now pick up that pen.

And write.

Thank you, Mr. Valentine.

It was an accident.

Yes, sir. So were those other ones, weren't they?

Mr. Valentine.

Five nice rich girls who all had accidents.

Which is why I call Miss Leaven number six.
