Good luck. Have a good day.

Cigarette?

Muscat.

Post! Simple here!

Inspector Bergen, is he conscious?

Not really. Keeps drifting off.

Concussion.

A traditional blunt instrument?

Could be. I don't know.

Are those his things?

Hmm, nice grouping.

Closed together, right over the heart.

Yeah.

This saved his life.

When will he be able to talk to us?

It's difficult to say. Concussion, massive bruising on the chest.

It's your guess.

I hope it won't be long.

You don't wear a bulletproof vest if you're just going a stroll round the block.

I'm going down to the mortuary to take a look at the other one.

Why don't you come with me, Doctor?

If he comes round, call me.

You know?

Found him?

Yes.

Who is he? His name is Rule.

Harry Rule. Harry Rule.

I want him. It won't be easy. I didn't say it would be easy. I said I want him.

Well, in Copenhagen, it's more difficult. It's three million dollars.

Harry Rule stands between me and three million dollars.

Yes.

Carraway, how are you feeling? Not too good.

Is there something I can get you?

Yeah, I've got to make a phone call. I'm sorry, you're not well enough.

It's very important. There, you see?

You're not well enough.

I'll go and tell the doctor you've come round.

Ah!

Oh, my God.

I don't know.

Excuse me, I won't be long.

Hello.

Harry, how are you? Terrible. Why, what happened to you?

Yes, it's all right. I'm listening. It's just that I can't hear you.

That's better, yes.

Yes.

Right, I'll be on the first plane out.

His body was a couple of yards from where you were found. Do you know him?

Yeah, I know him.

Leo Clermont, French.

Check him out with the severity. He's got a fiery ardent thing.

What was he doing in Denmark? He was four days out of Marseille. I tailed him.

The entire length of Route 27.

Route 27?

From Marseille, every big city in Europe has its own route number.

It's not the fastest, it's not the straightest,

but it's the safest if you want to smuggle something across a border.

Smuggling?

Not your line of work, is it, Mr. Roo?

Route 27 ends in Copenhagen.

That's right.

What was he carrying?

40 pounds of pure heroin.

It's either to keep me in or them out.

Best.

See you tomorrow.

Yes, well, keep an eye on things.

I can't give you the right kind of protection in a hospital.

Too much coming and going for real security.

I've arranged a suite in a hotel. There'll be three teams of my best men.

They'll cover you 24 hours a day.

Right. This is my town. I'd like to know what's happening in it.

Who are you working for?

Okay. A man had a son.

Bright.

Everything a kid could want.

Four weeks ago, he died of an overdose of heroin.

He was 18 years old.

So you followed a shipment up here from Marseille. 40 pounds, you said.

There's not a market for that much heroin here. Not yet.

I've been setting it up for two years.

Network distribution.

All through Scandinavia, Norway, Denmark, Sweden.

It's a big market just waiting to be opened up.

You followed it through?

Right up to delivery?

Yeah, I followed the courier all the way to a deserted house at Elsinore. And?

I tried to get closer so I could look at the buyers,

and that's when they spotted me.

Buyers thought I was the police. The courier thought he'd been double-crossed.

Who started the shooting? I don't know.

The courier got it first, and then me, and the rest you know.

Could you identify any of them?

And why did they try to get you out of the hospital?

Because the courier didn't make the delivery.

He wanted to make sure everything was right before he made the trade.

So he hid the shipment before he went to the meeting.

All they got was an empty bag. Then the heroin is still hidden.

All right, Mr. Rule. Where?

Look, I'll give you all the cooperation I can.

But if they smell a big police operation, they'll go back underground.

Hmm.

You could be right about that.

So?

So, let's play it my way.

If it fails, then I'll tell you everything I can.

They're going to be looking for you, Mr. Rule.

You know that.

I'm counting on it.

You're one of the few people in town who ever went into

a store and asked for 40 pounds of icing sugar.

Yes, but will it fool them?

No, this is just for show.

Plan works out.

They'll nail them before they can get a chance to check it. Look,

I've got a friend who's got a boat moored in the canal. It's called the Firefly.

You should take this down there and put it in the cabin, okay?

All right.

Hey, can you help me with this? It breaks my nails.

Through there.

Thanks.

Well, what's next?

Without being too obvious about it, I'll let them catch me,

rough me up a little bit, and I'll tell them where it is.

The moment they know where it is, they'll kill you.

Not if they're smart, and I'm counting on them to be smart.

They want to check it out first, see if I'm telling the truth,

so they'll go to the boat, and they'll find Bergen waiting for them.

But they'll still be holding you.

That's a calculated risk.

Harry, where is the real shipment hidden?

Nobody can make you tell what you don't know.

Meanwhile, I'll just keep it to myself as kind

of insurance in case anything goes wrong.

So you call Bergen as soon as you place us there, okay? He'll do the rest.

Don't worry. I'll be careful.

I don't know.

Mr. Ruhl?

Yeah.

Hang on.

Oh, that's that. Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Mr. Rule? Yeah?

There are some people who would like to talk to you, Mr. Rule. What people?

I thought we might arrange a meeting.

Who is this? Listen, at 5 o'clock this evening, leave the hotel, get the car,

drive around for a while.

You won't see us, but naturally, we shall see you.

Can you give me one reason why I should do all this? You'll be receiving a package.

I think you'll find that good enough reason. Leave at five, Mr. Roo.

If your friend is playing it cool, he'll be arriving shortly. I hope he is.

For your sake.

Good afternoon, sir.

You seem to be a bit lost.

If you don't mind, I'll show you the way.

Thank you.

May I?

Can I check the car?

Hey, you got a bad connection.

Well, if you'll come this way, sir.

You all right?

Yes.

What's the deal?

You drive to the place where the stop is hidden.

We'll be right behind you.

Then we make a straight trade.

We get the consignment, and you get the lady.

Fire!

Take this one.

And you take it nice and slow.

Okay, Willie, check out the scene, huh? Right on.

It's clear. They're going around. That's cool. Let's go.

OK, Willie, check over there, all right? Right.

Tom?

Come on, this way. Yes, mate.

That's close enough.

All the bags are pierced.

I get hit... Hold it!

Wait a moment, wait a moment.

Can't we talk about this?

We both know what a handful of that stuff is worth.

There's over three million dollars in that bag, so... So the contestant goes free.

Let her walk over here.

Right, right. Go ahead.

The chauffeur, he's circling.

Go on, get out of here.

Any ideas? No.

You? No.

How would it be if you put the bag on the ground?

There'd be no reason not to kill me, would there?

I wouldn't do that. You wouldn't? No.

I give you my word.

Somehow that doesn't reassure me.

No?

No.

Tell you what, I'll go back up.

You stay here.

When I get there, I'll leave the bag and take my chances.

No.

Then start shooting.

Get moving.

Try to work around behind him. Yeah.

Anytime.

In the avenues and alleyways Well, the soul of a man is easy to buy.

Everybody's wheelin', everybody's stealin' on the lower living high.

Every city's got them, can we ever stop them? Some of us are gonna try.
