This will be the most highly

automated plant in
the whole of Europe,

but still we must insist
on a reliable workforce.

Jobs are a collector's item
in these parts, Mr. Weinrich.

I don't think we should
be plagued by strikes.

So, we will see if we can
build German cars in Coventry.

Yes, first-rate German cars.

Hm.

Now tomorrow,
I take my plane to Hamburg.

In two months time,
I return and we

will start work on the factory.

Now, how about a glass of
champagne to celebrate?

Oh, well, that sounds very
tempting, but I'd better not.

It's a long drive home and
some friends of my wife

are coming to dinner.
- Ah, pity.

When I work, I work hard.

But when the work is over,
I am game for anything.

Well, I suppose
I could telephone--

Oh, no, no, no, no--

never make an enemy
of a colleague's wife.

Oh.

No, I shall have a glass
of champagne by myself,

and then perhaps
after dinner, I will

go to that little club you took
me to the other night, yeah?

It's a good place to
unwind,, you know?

Yeah.

My, uh, wife, you know, she--

she doesn't know it exists--

eh?

Oh, yeah, mum
is the word, yeah?

That is a curious expression.

What has mother
got to do with it?

I do just want to
say, Mr. Weinrich--

Uh, Helmut, Helmut, please.

Thank you.

I-- I do just want to say,
Helmut, that I really do

think this project's
a winner, you know.

Yeah, today Coventry,
tomorrow, the world, yeah?

Yeah.

Good, well, auf Wiedersehen.

Now goodbye.

Goodbye.

A dry martini, please, with an olive.

I'm sorry, miss, I'm
afraid I can't serve you.

Why now?

I'm 21.

You're unaccompanied, miss.

That's ridiculous--

I'm waiting for my fianc ,
Mr. Angus Phillips.

Well, when he gets here, I'll
be happy to serve you, miss.

But he could be
hours-- he's always late.

Am I right in thinking that
you're not a resident, miss?

No, but I will be
when Angus gets here.

Oh.

Will you call the manager?

I want to see the manager.

Listen to me, miss,
I've told you the rules.

Now if you make
a fuss, I'll have

to call the house detective.

I just don't believe this, you--

Excuse me, can I be of help?

Ah, it's nothing, sir.

But I think it is
something-- we have,

here, a lady in distress.

Uh, forgive me, I could
not help overhearing.

I would be happy to
buy you a dry martini.

Oh, that's so kind
of you, I accept.

So a dry martini and
a scotch on the rocks, please.

Is anything wrong?

Who are you?

I'm Cranmer Oakes, I--

I look after security
here in the hotel.

Hm.

She wanted a drink,
sir, and she's alone.

If I recollect, she was
alone, and now she is not.

She is my guest.

I see.

Well, if she's your guest, Herr
Weinrich, there's no problem.

That's not quite
right, Mr. Oakes.

My orders are clear-- there's
no unaccompanied ladies

to be served.

I'll take full
responsibility, Jimmy.

But it's my job.

Yes, to serve drinks, and
I suggest that you do it.

Very well, Mr. Oakes,
but I'll be having

a word with the manager later.

A scotch on the rocks
and a dry martini--

was that it, sir?

Yes.

But at the moment, I
have a better idea--

I need someone to
help me to celebrate.

I would be most happy
if you would join

me in a bottle of champagne.

Oh, I don't know.

Angus could be
here at any minute.

Well, in that case, I will
finish the bottle by myself.

Well, I've always had a
soft spot for champagne.

So a bottle of champagne,
the best you have.

Very good, sir.

Hello.

Nina, in what room is the missing watch?

200 and something--

234, Lancaster suite.

Oh!

Ah!

So, the most lively
champagne, yeah?

So, a toast--

Where was it?

In the bath, I'm afraid.

Oh.

The tub was still full.

Oh, no, I must have
forgotten to remove it.

It's always been loose.

Oh, Lord, I'm sure
it isn't waterproof.

Well, we can always have it
checked into jewelers for you.

Sally, come along.

I think she should apologize.

Pardon?

You accused me
of being a thief.

I think you should apologize.

What I said was, I think
my watch has been stolen,

which is quite different.

So kindly remember your manners.

It's set with emeralds,
belonged to my sister.

I'd never forgive
myself if it was ruined.

She did accuse me of
being a thief, bloody cow.

I've got a right to an apology.

Not in the hotel business.

Sally.

I mean, just look at
it this way, Sally--

all she's got is
a drowned watch.

You've got a career.

A what?

Ha-- you're pulling
my leg, Mr. Oakes.

Jobs are scarce in
the Midlands, Sally.

This isn't a job,
it's feudalism.

Oh, history your
strongpoint, is it?

Oh yeah, I nearly
went to university.

See you about the campus.

Cranmer,
I've been bleeping

you for the past half hour.

Really?

Well, it hasn;t bleeped.

That's the second
time this week.

The bleepers were
your brain child, John.

They were needed.

Mine works perfectly.

Anyway, about this
convention next week--

I really think you
should have some back-up.

I mean, 20 Sicilians--

They're businessmen, John, not mafiosa.

Hm, can we be certain?

Oh, I think so, they're
part of an official trade

delegation.

I can make a few phone calls.

Hey, can I borrow the file?

I-- I'd rather you
didn't-- it's confidential.

You can study it in my office.

Oh, I suppose you better
borrow my bleeper.

There wouldn't be much
point in me rushing

to the scene of a murder.

We don't have murders,
John, just missing watches.

So far-- but the Sicilians.

Oh yes, the other
thing is they might

be staying on the second week.

Really?

I'd better brief Duncan.

Duncan?

Duncan Pedley-- my
holiday replacement, John.

I'll be in Corfu.

Damn, I'd forgotten.

I suppose you wouldn't consi--

Oh, no way.

Yeah-- want to see that file?

I've got one or two
things to check up on first.

Very well.

Is there anything
for me, Nina?

Just the couple
in Aladdin suite--

asked me to thank
you for what you did.

What did you do, Cranmer?

I found Pelham for them.

Pelham is their dog.

Our hero.

This superb model
won the Monte Carlo Rally.

As it passed the
final checkpoint,

the suspension collapsed.

We did not mention
that in advertisements.

Oh-- yeah.

Och, no, I've had
too much, already.

Oh.

What time is it?

Uh, half-past 7:00.

It's not.

Where's Angus?

Look, I'll have to
go and phone him.

Perhaps he got
caught up in the snow.

Snow?

What snow?

Well, a man can
always hope, can't he?

Excuse me, Herr Weinrich,
might I have a word with you?

Why not?

It's a free country.

Sir, it's a little delicate.

Ah, I'll try to guess--

you will wish to inform
me that my companion

is a call girl, yeah?

But you see, Mr. Security
Man, I've been working

like stink for two whole weeks.

Tonight is my last night.

I wish to relax.

Perhaps I'm unwilling
to be called.

No, I don't think
she's a prostitute.

No, Mr.--

I think she could be
something more dangerous.

A spy-- an industrial spy.

Look, I really don't
know, but I've been in hotel

security for a long
time, and I'm pretty

sure that she's a wrong 'un--

skillful, too, a
real professional.

Professional?

What kind of professional?

Well, they're usually
conference grifters,

but she could be a simple thief.

The problem is, there's no way
of finding out until they act.

And then, of course,
it's too late.

Now an important part of my
job here is to warn hotel

guests about undesirables.

Ah, I understand,
but you do not

think it is possible that
she is what she says she is?

It's remotely possible.

Perhaps you won't mind if
I ask where she's gone?

To phone her fianc , Angus.

Yes, well, she may come back
and say that he's been held up.

She might go on
to say that she's

got nowhere to spend the night.

She could try to borrow money.

My advice, Herr
Weinrich, is to drop her.

Pity-- she's so very,
um, attractive, yeah?

Well, If it's of any interest
to you, there, uh-- there

is a little club here, it--

Oh yeah, I know the place.

It's a very fine establishment.

Well, in that
case, Herr Weinrich--

You have done your
job, Mr. Security Man.

I will heed your warning.

Thank you.

All part of the service.

Cranmer!

Addressed to you-- a bomb?

No, I--

I think it's one
of our ashtrays--

another repentant
souvenir-hunter.

Would you believe it?

I might.

Angus is still
in Wolverhampton.

He says his conference
could go on all night.

He can't get here
until tomorrow.

Oh, how sad.

He always does this to me, always.

And I suppose you have
nowhere to stay tonight?

He's really the limit.

Now what do you do?

Do?

Where will you go?

I go home.

Och, I better hurry, I might
still be in time for dinner.

You mean you live here?
But I thought--

The past five years.

My dad's an engineer.

But then why do you stay--?

Och, I know what
you're thinking.

Why do Angus and I
meet here in a hotel?

My folks are
Scots-Presbyterians,

Precipitating a wee bit
narrow, you understand?

Oh, yeah.

I'm very grateful
to you for the drinks

and I hope the
factory's a big success.

Goodbye, Helmut.

Uh, wait-- don't go.

Why not?

Well, the food here isn't bad,
and I thought that perhaps--

You mean--?

You've done enough for me.

No, no, I promise you--

the meat is excellent and
the fish is even better.

Superb, Duncan.

How can you refuse?

I've had too much already.

And I thought the Scotch
people were great drinkers.

Not in my family-- they're
great ones for moderation.

When we were still in
Dundee, my brother Colin

came home drunk one night.

My father wouldn't
let him in the house.

Oh--
And what about Angus?

Does he drink?
- Och, no, he's a surgeon.

He believes that if you're
responsible for people's lives,

you shouldn't touch the stuff.

Ah, so when you're married,
you will have to drink alone--

in moderation, of course.

I suppose so.

But you will not mind
because you love him.

Hm, it sounds
very romantic.

The truth is, I've
known Angus all my life.

Do you know the big
thing between us?

We both adore children.

Ah, so you intend to have a large family?

The larger, the better.

Then I'm afraid you will despise me--

I only have three children.

Well, it's a start anyway.

Have you got photos of them?

Yes, in my room.

Uh, Conrad, the
eldest, he is 15.

As far as I can make out,
he intends to be a hippie.

Hynus is 9.

He is a genius at
watching the television.

You remind me of Helga.

Is that one of your children?

No, no, that is my wife.

Oh, now she's a little stout,
but when we were married,

she was very
beautiful, like you.

That's funny.

What is?

You remind me of someone, too.

Oh, who?

A boy called Karl,
a German student--

my first boyfriend, really.

But I thought that
you and Angus-- were--

It was while Angus was in
Edinburgh studying medicine.

Karl was at Dundee University.

I was in love with
him for a whole term.

And I remind you of him?

Uh, this calls for a toast.

I won't drink it.

Oh, but I think that you will.

Ta-da!

I bought this for
my little girl, Eva.

How can you resist?

Och, you're a crazy man.

Opla!

After dinner, I will show
you photographs of my family.

Oakes, here.

This is Jimmy.

He went up with her
half an hour ago.

He was smashed, and
they took a bottle.

Right.

Her Weinrich?

Herr Weinrich?

You.

You're on the airplane.

No, you're not on the plane.

You're in the hotel.

In Hamburg.

This is England.

What's happened to the girl?

Girl?

Oh, yeah, I remember
there was a girl.

You were with her all evening.

You came up with her
about half an hour ago--

the barman saw you.

Well, I thought I'd better
make sure you were safe.

Where is she?

Oh, my God.

She's dead!

Dead?

No, no, that's not
impossible, not possible!

What happened?

Impossible!

Look, tell me
what happened, man!

Nothing happened!

We played around a little.

We had a drink.

A drink?

I was wrong.

She wasn't a professional.
She was a rotten amateur.

But how is she dead-- how?

Chloral hydrate-- it
was meant for you, but she

must have drunk by mistake.
- She tried to kill me?

No, no, she wanted
to put you to sleep,

but she got drunk, herself.

After that, she got everything
wrong, including the dosage.

But-- but what did
she want with me?

That's for the police to find out.

No-- no,
please, not the police.

Please don't call the police.

Herr Weinrich,
the girl is dead.

Yeah, yeah, we
send for a doctor.

Mr. Oakes?

Do you need any help?

No, don't let him in.

Please, I will
explain everything--

please, please!

Mr. Oakes, I'm coming in.

It's like a battlefield.

What are you
doing here, Jimmy?

I just thought you might
need some extra help.

Where's the girl?

I saw her come up with you.

She's-- she's already gone.

But they only came
up a half an hour ago.

Yes, well, there was a
disagreement and she left.

Well, in any case, it's
none of your damn business.

No, that girl never
went through the lobby.

I'd have seen her.

You obviously didn't.

And in future, Jimmy,
when I want your help,

I'll bloody well ask for it.

OK.

Mr. Oakes, I was just
trying to be helpful.

I'll be away to bed, then.

Goodnight, sir.

Mr. Oakes, I--

Sh.

I hate that sniveling barman.

Mr. Oakes, I'm
so grateful, I--

oh.

Now just get one thing
straight, Herr Weinrich--

the police must be notified.

Now look, you
needn't get so upset.

It's obvious what happened.

The police won't
suspect you of anything.

No, no, it's the publicity.

My wife-- bad publicity
would ruin my project.

Think of it--

2,000 jobs in Coventry--
caput, and for nothing.

Can't you do something?

Well, you should have
listened to me, Herr Weinrich.

But I can certainly
tell the police that--

No, if she is found somewhere
else, what difference?

You know I didn't kill her.

True.

And she is dead--

it can't hurt her.

Think of the jobs.

And-- and I give
you 5,000 pounds.

Yeah-- 5,000 pounds.

Just get her away from here.

No, it can't be done.

Yeah, it can be done and
you are the man to do it.

5,000 pounds?

Yeah.

Yeah, not here, in
[inaudible],, but in the bank,

I have unlimited credit.

I get it for you in the morning.

Get dressed.

Get dressed and
straighten up the room.

And don't touch her--

I'll be back in a minute.

What are you going to do?

I'll have to get back
to the hotel by 6:00.

Now I can get her perhaps
100 miles away by then.

Now this is what
I want you to do--

You wait for me here, yeah?

Oh, Mr. Oakes--

my watch is all right.

I think it enjoyed the dip.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Oh, Mr. Oakes, I, uh--

I have a bad conscience.

I'm sorry?

That girl, that maid--

perhaps in the heat of the
moment, I did accuse her.

Anyway, will you apologize to
her for me and give her this?

There.

I'll make sure
that she gets it.

Thanks.

Now then, where's my chauffeur?

I have a train to catch.

Thanks.

Come along, Denzel.

Madam.

Ah, Mr. Oakes.

Uh, I'm nearly
taking it with me,

it's the, uh-- the atlas
you were so kind to lend me.

I trust it was useful, sir.

Yeah, most helpful.

Uh, I'm now catching
my plane to Hamburg.

Auf wiedersehen.

I'll be in my room for
the next couple of hours.

Noted.

Had a good trip, sir?

Nein.

It's never too early
for champagne, Molly.

Come on in and drink
a toast with us.

Oh, Cranmer, you
bumped me again.

I've got a hideous
bruise and it hurts.

Well, this should soon
take the sting away-- here.

And do you know what?

I didn't even have
to ask him for it.

But I do hope that goes
before our holiday, darling.

It would look dreadful with a bikini.
