He's moving. Fast.

Yeah, too fast.

He's airborne. He's in a plane.

What the devil's happening?

Try and keep contact.

Straight on.

Now, you keep her steady on 147 rule.
That'll take you right back to the aerodrome.

Well...

You made one mistake, Foster. I'm
no pilot. I can't fly this plane.

You don't get off that easy.

You'll fly this plane. You'll land at
the airstrip, and you'll live, Rule.

You'll live long enough to
spend 25 years in prison. 25 years.

Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Hello, Harry. Is that you, Paul? Yes.

Now listen carefully.

We have you on the radar.

You're about six miles from the
airfield. What is your altitude?

Just over 4,000 feet. Good.

Now you're going to have to circle around
for about one hour to use up your fuel.

Hello, Harry? Right.

Harry, I want you to make a
90 degree turn to the left.

I'm not sure of the rudder controls.
Forget the rudder. Just use the control column.

Turn it to the left on a
compass heading of 230.

I'm afraid Mr. Rumi isn't back yet.

Well, I am a little bit early.

I drove up from the country. You know,

you can never tell the
traffic and everything.

Are you sure it's all right? I'll wait.

Oh, thank you.

It doesn't sound very good.

Okay.

Would you like to have some drink or
some coffee? I would love a cup of coffee.

Okay.

This is a very interesting apartment.

You like?

Oh, yes, yes.

Black or white, Mr Foster?

White, please.

Does this clock still work?

Oh, yes.

Nice to see you. How are you? Fine. I
was just commenting on your apartment.

Yeah, adequate. Hi.

You made it sound quite
urgent. Yes, I wanted to get

your opinion on
something. My opinion? Thank you.

On what? On a 25-year prison sentence.

What do you mean?

I wanted to know how you'd feel
spending the rest of your life in prison.

What are you talking about? Well,
that's the way it's going to be.

When you kill me. Why do I want to
kill you? Because I'm blackmailing you.

Blackmailing?

Yes, you see, I know. That you
killed a certain Harry Farr.

Now, come on, don't deny you knew him.

Yeah, I know him. And you killed him.

And you're going to kill me.

And you're going to rot in a cell.

Harry, can you give me a
check on your fuel gauge?

Reading just under half.

Good.

Now you're doing just fine, Harry.

I want you to make another turn
to the left. This time, onto 360.

You know a guy named Harry Farr?

Harry Farr?

Oh, yes, he's a small-time thief,
police informant. Why do you ask?

Somebody mentioned his name.

A client?

A nut.

Try signalling next time.

Where are we meeting Paul?

At the firing range.

I think he should have a handicap.

A blindfold.

95. Another round? Why not?
Maybe you'll lose just once.

All right, let's make it more difficult.

Backs to the target and cut
the time to five seconds.

All right, I'll go first.

Change your luck.

Ahem, ahem, ahem.

Very good. Mr. Roo!

It's Harry Farr.

You trace the call.

What's the name?

Foster.

Foster.

Have your dress.

Right.

Thank you.

Well, our paths cross again.

Look, you don't like me and I
don't particularly care for you,

so let's just get on with it.

I've read your statement.

There are just one or two points.

I figured there might be.

You visit the shooting range regularly?

Wednesdays, when I'm free.

And you had no idea, of
course, that Farr was tied

at the back of the
target? No, I had no idea.

But you did know him?

No.

What I heard about him, I didn't like.

Then there are a great many people
I... You're not over-enamored with him?

Look, if I wanted to kill Farr,

do you think I'd pump him full
of bullets in front of witnesses?

No, no, no. I don't think you'd do that.

But then that's not the way he died.

He was killed about an
hour before you shot him.

The police can't really
believe you'd commit murder.

Well, they work with facts, and
some of the facts point to me.

Because Foster pointed them that
way. He's trying to frame you.

Harry, what did he say again?

He's blackmailing you because he
has evidence that you killed Farr.

And I'm going to kill him. He should
be locked away. He's crazy. Pal, pal,

he's unbalanced, but he's
intelligent and dangerous.

Hello, Harry.

Rue.

Yeah, I'm listening.

All right.

Where?

When?

Okay.

What did he want?

Says he'd like to meet me at
the stroke of ten, as he put it.

Harry, you said yourself he was
dangerous. I don't think you should go.

That's one reason why I should.

It'll give you and Paul a
chance to search his room.

All right. Have you got his address?

Mm-hmm.

From the inspector's desk.

What?

I read well upside down.

I don't think much of his lifestyle.

You try over there.

Oh, hello. I'm glad you could make it.
Hey, look at that. You're on time as well.

Better be good.

Oh, well, it's a demand for
200 pounds. Oh, you know,

the first in a long line of payments.

Blackmail. Why, now, come on, now. You
can't be surprised, because I did warn you,

didn't I? Okay, I'll
return the compliment.

I'm going to warn you. Oh, I know, I know.

Stay out of your hair, get off my
back, right? Any way you want to read it,

just as long as the message is
clear and understood. Verstehen?

Now, I can't sit around
here chatting all day.

I've got to get back and see
the results of the explosion.

Oh, you know the bomb?

The bomb you sent me through
the postage going off at 10 a.m.?

Cheerio.

I wonder why he hasn't opened this.

What?

Look, you see?

Don't answer it.

It could be Harry, you know.

Yes, all right.

Hello? This is Harry. Get out of
there, Paul. There's a bomb in the room.

What happened? There's a bomb in there.

Stand by. We've got an
ambulance and a firetruck standing by.

Okay.

The winds are veering westly.

The device was crudely constructed.

The lab estimates it contained
about three pound of explosive.

The basis of the timing
mechanism was some kind of clock.

Unfortunately, it seems
unlikely we shall ever be able

to identify this clock
or establish its origin.

Do you know a man called Foster?

We've met. Yes.

The last time, just before 10
o'clock this morning, outside the tower.

Why is Foster blackmailing you?

Is he?

I can't think of any other reason why
you'd give a comparative stranger 200 pounds.

I never gave him a penny.

At approximately 9.40, you drew
£200 from your personal account.

Do you still say you
didn't give Foster that money?

I never gave him a penny.

We searched your apartment.

We found this in your
jacket pocket and several

other similar demands for money
in your desk. Oh, come on, Harry.

You're not just going to sit
there and take this, are you?

Listen, you have spoken to Foster, right?

The man is unbalanced. He is lying.

Lying?

He denied it.

It's a criminal offence.

But then I'm under no
obligation to believe him either.

So what do you intend to do, Inspector?

I have a theory. A little wild,
unproved, but a few of the pieces fit.

You have got nothing,
not one shred of evidence.

No, no.

It's only a theory as yet.

You're free to go, Mr. Rule.

But you will be required
to surrender your passport.

Oh, come on, let's get out of here.

Oh, there is just one
other point, Contessa.

It occurs to me the bomb need
not necessarily have been posted.

You could have planted it.

What is it, Paul? We estimate you should
be able to land in another ten minutes.

Right.

It's madness, Harry. Don't go.

Foster's obviously
unstable. He's capable of anything.

If you want to know why,
meet me at Cranfield Aerodrome.

That's a trap, of course. Yeah, of course.

But why? What's his reason?

There's no question about it that
he's devious enough to pull it off.

I don't want that jazz
hanging around my neck.

Yeah, so we're coming with you.

All right. Yeah, at a distance.

How will we keep contact?

How is it at the airfield now?

Foster?

Signal loud and clear.

This is Gough, Alpha,
Victor, Uniform, Lima.

Requesting taxi clearance. Cranfield
Control, you are cleared to taxi for runway 33.

November Hotel 1008.

Uniform Lima, this is
Control. You have a passenger.

Yes, I have a passenger. You'll
need his name for the logbook.

It's Harry Rule.

Harry... Rule.

That's right.

Uniform Lima, you are clear for takeoff.

How's the head?

Well, I suppose you need an
explanation. I mean, that's the least I can do.

Tell me, do you remember
Saint-Tropez six years ago?

Kidnapping. French
millionaire's daughter. Yeah.

There's two men there.

One of them was you.

The other one, the one
you shot, is my brother.

You killed him.

He was only 27.

I knelt at his grave and
I swore I'd make you pay.

Your brother didn't have to die.

His wound turned septic because he
chose a hideout instead of a hospital.

Now turn this plane around, Foster.

Stay on this road, Chino.

This is where I jump.

And you're gonna stand trial for murder.

My murder.

Well, this is where I leave you.

Fuel check, hurry.

Reading practically empty. Check.

We're going to bring you in.

Turn left on a new heading.

Zero, two, seven.

027. Right.

Now keep her on that heading. Okay,
Harry. We've been over this enough times.

Let's see how well you remember. Right.

Good.

From now on, just follow
instructions. There's no need to acknowledge.

You're two miles from the runway.

What's your altitude?

1,500 feet.

Good.

All right, throttle back to
1,500 revs per minute. Now remember,

your airspeed is vital. You must keep it
steady at 90. Repeat, 90 miles per hour.

That's good, Harry.

That's fine.

Just fine.

Hold it like that.

Good.

Now keep the nose on that center line.

That's fine.

You're one mile from touchdown.

Harry, you're too high.

Throttle back to 1,200 revs per minute.

Watch your airspeed.

Keep it at 90 miles per hour.

I'm too fast, Paul, just over 100.

All right, take it easy.

Pull the stick back.

Gently now.

Good.

Good.

That's fine.

Everything's okay, Harry.

You're drifting right.

Bring her left a little.

A little more.

That's good.

Half a mile from touchdown.

That's fine.

Keep her steady.

Now listen carefully, Harry.

As soon as the wheels touch, cut the
throttle completely and pull the stick back.

Right.

That's fine. Take it easy.

Quarter of a mile to go.

Hold it like that.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Level out.

Cut the engine. Cut the engine.

Forward.

Push the stick forward. Forward, Harry.

Break! Use your brakes!

Break!

You all right? Yeah. It's
not bad for a beginner.

Had me worried there a couple of times.

Harry Rule, I arrest you for
the murder of Colin Foster.

You're not obliged to
say anything. I warn you,

anything you do say will be taken
down and may be used in evidence.

You're making a mistake, Inspector. Come
along, Mr. Rule. Hey, now, wait a minute.

All right, Paul.

Hello, Harry.

Inspector?

Thanks for the lift, Inspector. I
think I'll ride back with my friends.

It's getting a little cramped in here.

All right, Foster, come along.

Where did you find him?

On the end of a parachute.

I was expecting you.

Let's go home, Gino. Yes, sir.

Well, the soul of a man is easy to buy.
