May I have miss zorakin's suite, please?
(Phone)
Yes?
Oh, Michel!
I just wanted to say hello.
Tell you how much I've missed you. Oh, I've missed you, too, darling.
Oh, yes, of course I do.
But I can't talk now.
See you very soon. Goodbye.
You were listening!
I'm sorry, I couldn't help overhearing.
You were talking to Michel, weren't you? What if I was?
I love him! Your father doesn't approve.
You'd save yourself so much unhappiness
if you forgot all about him.
My father never approves of any of the men I like.
Well, he only does what he thinks is best for you.
Best for me?
My father tries to run my life like he runs his businesses!
Balance sheets have proved that I have certain assets
and they have to be protected against any unprofitable merger.
I am sick of it!
And you can tell him what I said in your report!
My report? That's what you're paid for, isn't it?
You'd better get dressed. When I'm ready.
And you can hang those up!
Excuse me.
Well? Everything is going
exactly as planned, so relax.
It might be an appropriate moment for a toast.
To the successful kidnap of Lisa zorakin.
I've got a better one.
To the half a million dollar ransom.
Yoo-hoo!
Daniel. Your lordship. You made it, huh?
A brilliant remark, considering I'm here.
How are you? I'm fine. You look terrific, you look wonderful.
Terrific? That's odd, considering I'm exhausted.
Exhausted? You never looked better in your life.
That jacket is a nice cut, kid.
Daniel, I've driven 500 miles non-stop.
All I want to do is get into a nice hot bath, have a long soak,
and an early night.
A long soak and an early night, huh? Yes.
That's for babies and old ladies.
Old ladies is what I'll be unless I sleep.
But you don't need any sleep. What you need is a soak, ok,
and I'll lay out your clothes for you. How's that?
I have news for you, I don't need to dress to go to bed.
Lord sinclair? Yes.
I have no idea what is going on in that devious little mind of yours
but whatever it is, forget it.
Look, all I want you to do is do me a favour.
No! What kind of an answer is that?
Would I turn you down? Of course.
Have I ever failed you? Frequently.
Look, there are these two girls - yes, there always are.
The one for you is beautiful, delicate, exquisite -
and what's yours like? Ok, but you will love the girl I have for you.
I feel I'm being driven into an ambush.
Turn around, take a look.
And she's the ugly one. Oh...
Lisa, I'd like you to meet my good friend Brett. Brett, this is Lisa.
My friend Daniel insulted you. He only said you were stunningly beautiful.
It's nice to meet you.
Well, you can let go, she's not going to fall down.
This is Mary. Mary, I'd like you to meet Brett.
You two are going to have a lot in common over dinner.
That would be nice. We've got to drive into town for some things
but we'll be back in 40 minutes. Ok, see you later.
Bye, Mary. Goodbye. Mary!
You toad! What?
You just sprung the ambush. What? She's beautiful.
Beautiful, yes, right. I'm going upstairs now, Daniel,
and I'm going to devise the most terrible revenge. Por favor.
Take him to the toy department.
Aargh!
(Gasps)
Kidnapper: Come on, come on!
Help, please. Give me the keys, please!
Please, help me, she's been kidnapped.
What's all the excitement? It's Lisa, she's been kidnapped.
I'll get in terrible trouble. Mr zorakin will never forgive me.
Conrad? Is he a relation? He's Lisa's father. He's on his way here.
We're getting him on the carphone to tell him what happened.
Where's Danny? Oh, I don't know.
He was outside when it happened,
but it all happened so quickly, I don't know.
Miss Bradford! I have mr zorakin for you.
Thank you.
None of the guests to leave the hotel.
I want the police chief waiting for me when I get there.
And I want the hotel switchboard kept clear for incoming calls.
And keep me informed of developments.
I'll get there as soon I can.
What is it?
Lisa has been kidnapped.
Use all the speed we've got.
Phone the Madrid office.
We're going to need some money.
Please don't forget that he wants to see
the chief of police the moment he arrives
and the telephone switchboard kept absolutely clear,
is that understood? Very good.
Thank you very much. Is there anything I can do to help?
Oh, thank you. He did all he could and tried to help me.
Then he went after them in his car.
Well, at least that's something.
Come on, don't worry. Danny will bring her back.
I hope so. I certainly hope so.
Senor, passada una cocha para qui... Car passed?
Gracias. No, huh?
Freeze!
Turn around. Slow. Put up your hands.
Put 'em up! Higher!
Oh!
Are you all right? What's the matter with you?
Where'd you come from? The same place as this.
I thought we'd lost you. No, but if you'd like me to leave, I'll go.
You don't like that, uh? Can I sit down?
If you've got any suggestions, i'm more than ready to hear... I have!
Not you, you punch too hard. Shut up!
There is no choice. No!
No, I think he might be very useful.
You're staying.
There was nothing I could do, mr zorakin. I tried to...
All right, all right, all right.
Who is in charge here? This gentleman.
You!
Who are you? Inspector Santos.
I assure you everything possible is being done.
I wouldn't expect less! I'll have a full report from you in a minute.
Any ransom note yet? Nothing.
Well, it will come. Our main hope is the American that went after her.
American?! Yes.
A friend of mine.
Danny wilde. Wilde?
Lord sinclair. How do you do?
Wilde, you say? It is possible.
How was he involved?
Mary saw it all.
I was struggling with them and mr wilde ran up
and we were both thrown to the ground.
Or he tried to pull you off. Oh, no.
No, I'm sure he was trying to help. It's possible.
It's ridiculous. He followed with a car.
To join his friends.
Mr zorakin, I make allowance for the fact that you are worried,
but I think you are being fanciful.
I overlook nothing. I know wilde.
We were competitors in a recent business transaction.
I got what I wanted and he lost a great deal of money.
And you think Danny would kidnap your daughter to get even?
I said it's possible. And I said it's ridiculous.
I want a description of wilde issued right away. I want him picked up.
You can't do that.
You'll find there's very little I can't do.
I'm sorry if I implicated your friend.
Oh, it's not your fault.
I think I'll take a look around. Danny should have been back by now.
Senor.
Which car is this? Danny wilde's.
"$500,000. We'll contact you."
It has to be a set-up.
Arrange for the money, and an additional $100,000
for the man who will kill him.
You're late, room service.
You might as well eat while you can. Yeah.
Get back.
What happens next?
As soon as we get the money you will be free to go.
Sometime tonight, I imagine.
And you expect me to go back to the hotel and not say anything, hm?
That's up to you but, frankly, I don't think it will be that easy.
Zorakin will have paid up, he'll be wanting revenge,
and you will be the target.
Half a million dollars.
You heard from them? A phone call, very fast, no chance of tracing it.
What are you supposed to do with the money? We'll come to that.
I want you to deal with this.
Oh, why? I checked you out.
You are honest and you know how to handle yourself.
Well now, isn't that interesting?
Cos I checked you out, too.
Really? Mm. You didn't come out of it too well.
Strong rumours of connections with organised crime syndicates.
Talk, just talk.
What about the senate hearings in '57 and '58?
There was never enough evidence to bring any charges.
Mr zorakin sued and won damages against a number of newspapers
that made scurrilous accusations. Thank you, Patterson.
I don't think we have to explain to sinclair. My record is clean.
Well, let's say you've been lucky.
I've always done what I had to do to get what I wanted.
All I want now is for you to handle this business.
I still want to know why me.
Surely, it can't have escaped your check-out
that I am a close friend of Danny wilde's.
That's why. You can talk sense to him,
make sure he doesn't try anything fancy.
I want Lisa back, and that's all that matters now.
Danny has nothing to do with this. I don't believe it.
But I'm giving you the chance to prove you're right.
Will you do it?
All right. On one condition.
Go on.
You don't send any of your trigger-happy friends here
out looking for Danny until I get back and he has a chance to explain.
Agreed.
I expect you back here at midnight, with Lisa, or there will be
a lot of trigger-happy people looking for you.
Where do I take this? There's a deserted village called condos.
About three miles beyond, on the road, there will be a marker.
You take the money there and wait for further instructions.
The road behind is empty. Nothing in sight.
Good. Has he found the radio?
Jah. Are you sure nobody's followed him?
He's on his own. Looks like he's obeying instructions.
Let's get on with it!
'Listen closely and follow my directions in every detail.
Get the money and start into the woods and follow the track.
Keep going until I tell you to stop. That's all.'
He's on his way. I can smell the money from here. Come on!
'All right, stop where you are.'
now, put the case on the ground.
Now, go back to your car and drive off.
'Lisa will be back at her hotel in a couple of hours.'
Beautiful! Michel was right,
he said zorakin wouldn't take any chances with his daughter.
After him!
Now, you didn't think
I was going to leave $500,000 lying around, did you?
Where's Lisa? Try and find her.
That's what I was going to do. Now you're going to help me.
Nein, I tell you nothing! Oh, what odds are you giving?
Where's Lisa? Where is she?
Lisa, are you all right? We'll have you
out of here in a second. Where's Daniel?
Over there.
Oh!
(As if with throbbing nose) Daniel. Very, very funny.
(Clatter)
Urgh!
Oh, storing up for the winter?
It's all right, don't apologise.
I hope you're feeling better. I don't want you to worry. Excuse me.
What do you want to do with this one? Lock him up, too.
The police can pick him up later.
Let him go!
What are you talking about?
I'm sorry, Lisa, it's gone wrong.
Daniel, do you feel that the rug's been pulled from under our feet?
Why are you acting like this? Why did you have to spoil everything?
Why did you have to interfere?
We should have heard something by now.
Sinclair will contact us the moment he has any news.
Something has gone wrong. I feel it, I just feel it.
I wish there was something we could do.
There's a great deal we can do.
You said they could have until midnight.
I know what I said!
I'll give them a little longer.
Something's gone wrong.
All right, whose idea was it to stage the phoney kidnap?
Both: Mine!
We both sort of developed it. Why?
If you wanted to get married, why didn't you just ask good old daddy?
You don't know my father. Yes, I do, and I don't happen to like him.
But then again, I'm not his daughter. I wish I wasn't.
I take it your father doesn't approve of Michel.
When he found out I was seeing Lisa, he checked on me.
I had no money and no job, I want to be a writer.
So, immediately I was marked down as unsuitable.
Zorakin offered me money not to see Lisa again.
Well, listen, you're both over 21, why didn't you just take off?
Well, how could we? Michel has nothing. I have no money of my own.
How could we? Some people do, you know.
Anyway, my father can afford it.
Why shouldn't he give us something? Well, that's no way to try
to get money out of your father.
Your lordship. Thank you, Daniel.
Now, these two other guys, where do they figure in this?
I hired them to help. They were going to get $5,000 each.
It would all have worked. The kidnap looked real, everybody believed it.
Why did you have to go and interfere?
Because, my dear Guinevere, sir Lancelot here
involved my friend Daniel. Now, that was a mistake.
I know that now, but at the time it seemed that he'd take the attention off us.
You did, believe me, you did!
Mr zorakin was all set to offer gun contracts to every gun-happy assassin in Europe.
And he still might if we... Don't get you back.
We must get you back. Daniel!
I haven't eaten yet. Like to die on a full stomach? I'll get heartburn.
Come on, let's go. Go where?
Back to tell dear old dad what you told us.
No, I'm not going back to him.
Excuse me. As far as we're concerned,
you can go and do anything you want to do. Then let us go.
We can't. The police are looking for Daniel,
not to forget the bounty hunters.
He will not be off the hook until you and the money are returned.
After that, you can sort out your love-life together. Right!
Does that answer your question? No, I'm not going anywhere.
Please. I'll take care of this.
Thank you, Daniel. Now, look...
Michel...
Michel! Let him go!
Uh-uh! Daniel? Michel, do something.
Please! I'm sorry, Lisa.
Well, at least someone has some sense around here.
Michel! Just calm down.
I don't see any reason for you to get so excited.
Just wait. Will you...?
Now, will you wait a minute?
Let go.
Take the other arm, Daniel, will you? Come on.
Oh!
He grunts
he whistles
let me go!
Get round the other side, Daniel. Let me out!
Daniel! Daniel!
Daniel!
Will you get her off me? She will kill us all.
Let me go.
I'm going to give your father money to take you back. Cut it out.
I'm not going back. Will you be quiet?
You're going back. What are we going to do with her?
Daniel, I have an idea.
That was good thinking, pal. She deserved it.
You're a smart kid, I'll tell you that.
I don't feel one bit guilty.
Feel guilty, what are you talking about?
All right, what's the plan?
We stop at the first telephone and call zorakin.
Then we pick up the money
and then deliver the entire package to the hotel.
I love it. I love it. You're a smart guy.
Oh! Who'd want to kidnap her, anyway?
Just calm down.
Sit down and be quiet. Buenos dias, senor.
Buenos dias. Can we have a couple of bottles of your very best -
and a Mickey Finn for the young lady. Or, preferably, some chloroform.
They are lovers having their first tiff.
Now, do you have a telephone I might use? This way, senor.
I hate you!
Aargh!
They are truly lovers, senor?
American. Ah, si.
The telephone? This way, senor.
Will you calm down?
Ow!
Now, look... Brett, will you hurry up? Brett!
Mr zorakin, please.
Danny, bring her over.
Argh! Now will you stop?
Zorakin? Sinclair. We've got her.
Good, good. They've got her.
Is she all right? Oh, yes!
Alive and kicking.
Very much so. Yes.
Oh, there's quite a story to tell.
By the way, I didn't spend the money. I didn't spend the money!
I don't want - I er... I left...
I have to stop at condos to pick it up.
Tell me everything when you get here. Is Lisa there? Put her on.
You what? Oh, you want to talk to her. Oh, yes.
He wants to talk to you.
Father. Yes, I'm all right.
Don't trust them, Danny wilde planned it all. Give me that!
It's a trick to get more money!
Hello? Oh, yes, she's all right, all right.
Look, put Lisa back on. Well, what did she mean?
I want to talk to her!
You can talk to her all you want when we get back.
She doesn't understand, poor child, what's going on.
Aagh! We'll talk later.
Ow!
Oh, poco loco.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
She's sorry. Now he'll never let me marry.
Please let me go back to Michel.
I don't care about the money.
Talk to your father first, then you can go anywhere you want to.
(Muttering) Stop it!
Here, help yourself. Gracias, senor.
De nada, De nada.
They're going to condos to collect the money.
Get the men and the cars, we're going up there to meet them.
Wouldn't it be terrible if it weren't here?
Don't joke about it.
What is it? Did you find it, huh?
Oh, he found it!
Ah, that's my boy. Well, don't feel so bad.
Listen, you gotta win some, lose some. Take the money and run.
I'm trying to think how to tell my father, he'll be so angry.
You just tell him that you and Michel wish to be married.
I suppose so. Will you stay with me while I tell him?
Yeah, we'll be around.
I'd appreciate that.
It'll be our pleasure. Ow!
Open this door!
Open it!
Well, no car - and no money.
And no girl.
You know, her father is not going to believe it.
He's going to kill us. Oh, I don't know,
after we tell him what's happened, talk to him man to man -
you think he'll listen? Of course,
then he's going to kill us.
Come on, faster, faster!
I've given our situation a lot of thought, examined every angle.
Have you reached a conclusion? I have.
Which is? We're in bad trouble.
I, too, have given the matter considerable thought
and I think you're wrong.
Why? We are in desperate trouble.
Why don't we just walk into town,
tell zorakin everything. What can he do?
(Car approaching) We're about to find out.
You think it's him? Without doubt.
Right, you do all the talking. Why?
I can't think of anything to say.
You do it all, kid.
Hi, Zory! Mr zorakin.
All right, where is she?
Well, tell him. I'm going to, but in my own way.
Your daughter, mr zorakin, is a... A very high-spirited girl,
knows her own mind.
Is she here?
No. Not exactly, that is.
Then where is she?
She's looking after the money. And where is that?
That's what we're talking about.
So far you have told me exactly nothing.
Now I want to hear it, all of it.
Where is Lisa?
Lisa!
How did you get here? I thought you'd be with the police.
It's a long story. They were going to take me to the hotel.
But what does it matter now? It's not important.
I hate to break this up but we should get out of here.
He's right. The police will be all over this place.
Don't worry, darling. Everything is exactly as it was.
Now we can go on with our plans.
Not any more, we didn't get the money.
My dowry!
Mein gott! Aren't I clever?
I don't know how you did it, Lisa, but that's... That's fantastic.
We still have problems. Wilde and sinclair
will tell your father everything, that you were in on it.
Let them.
He'll never believe them.
You're lying.
I don't think he believes us. I don't think so.
Lisa wouldn't do that to me.
It's my daughter you're talking about. She wouldn't do that.
I know her too well. Are you sure?
How much time have you spent with her
during the last five years? Do you know her at all?
I didn't come here to get a lecture in parenthood.
You set this up, you arranged the whole thing.
What are you talking about? I beat you on that offshore oil deal
and you want to get even. You're all mixed up.
Where is she? I don't know. Where is Lisa?
I would say probably halfway to the border by now.
You are going to tell me the truth, one way or another.
Oof!
Now, hold it!
Go, Daniel!
Go ahead!
Did I say something wrong? (Banging)
Daniel, a thought's just occurred to me. What's that?
They could shoot through these things.
Hey, come here!
What are they doing? Not writing a letter of apology.
Have you any ideas? Well, it's going to demand of you...
Both: The supreme sacrifice! Very funny. See where that ladder goes.
It broke.
If we could make a break for it, we could get to zorakin's car.
How do we make a break for that car? Now, will you get serious?
Don't be negative, Daniel. Somebody has to make a move.
I wonder why they haven't started shooting. Are you complaining?
No, I'm not complaining.
Now I'm complaining.
(Fighting inside)
Binal, are you all right?
Freeze!
Butch Cassidy, huh? What we told you was true.
I don't believe it!
Don't mind if we borrow the car, do you?
Daniel, are you driving? I'll drive.
Then get the keys.
The keys.
Thank you.
Now, get to a telephone, and get a car up here, fast!
Zorakin won't give up. He'll spend the rest of his life looking for us.
Not if we get him back Lisa.
Where do we find her? I think we ought to start at the cottage.
Good thinking, Daniel. Mm.
There you are, you take matra's share.
It's up to you if you give it to him.
He'll probably be running for his life.
Thanks. That's it, I guess. We had some bad moments there.
All that matters is that it turned out right. I'll take your car.
Oh, good luck, both of you. Sorry I won't be at the wedding.
So am I, Kurt. Thank you.
See you around, maybe. Auf wiedersehen.
Darling, think of it, think of it!
Tomorrow we'll be out of the country.
We'll be starting a life of our own.
We'll be able to have all the things we've talked about.
I'll be away from my father and we'll be together, that's what matters.
Just the two of us.
No, Lisa,
you are not coming with me.
What are you saying? What are you talking about?
I've got what I wanted, right here.
That's all that matters.
You were never even part of my future.
But we planned it, we planned it together.
I planned it, all the way.
Goodbye, Lisa.
I wish I could say it's been fun, but it hasn't.
Oh, don't worry, your father will always buy you somebody else.
Michel!
(Sobs)
Lisa, what's happened? Where's Michel?
Lisa, where's Michel?
It ended up right more by luck than by judgement. Yes.
From now on, we go exactly as planned, hm?
Fine. The motel, yes. I could meet you there in about... An hour?
Fine. Yes, it's a nice feeling, isn't it?
We're rich.
Bye.
Lisa, try to remember something that happened,
something he said or did that may give us a lead.
No, nothing.
It's important. A place, a time, anything.
I told you, I don't know and I don't care.
It's not important.
Hello, hello, hello?
Hello? Habla senor Santos.
Inspector. Oh, inspector Santos.
Oh, hi. Danny wilde. Lisa is here with us
and the guy that's put on the snatch
is probably on his way to the border.
We'll have an alert put out immediately.
I'll contact you if I hear anything at once.
Mr zorakin, what's happened?
Everything has happened.
Any news? Wilde just called. Lisa's safe.
Lisa is with him? So I understand.
Everything's all right.
I don't understand.
They've got my car, they've got my money, they've got my daughter.
How can everything be all right?
Santos, I want those men caught, you understand?
Naturalmente, senor.
There are three border crossings he could head for.
Well, which do you think?
That one, no question. We'll go to this one, then.
The frontier is straight ahead, about three miles.
(Bleating)
(Horn sounds) (Shouts in Spanish)
Room service. Cabin 40.
I'd like a bottle of champagne and two glasses. Right away, thank you.
Oh, French champa-
No, Daniel. No record of my car or any other car, for that matter.
Let's try the next one.
(Phone) Santos.
Si. Si.
Adonde? Muy bien. Seguida por alla.
What is it? Sinclair's car was seen.
Where? Here.
(Buzzer)
Yes.
Yes, we're going that way now.
All right. Thank you.
The car was seen going through aurella.
We are on that road now. It's a straight road, no turn-offs.
Border control says he hasn't shown up. Then he's somewhere in-between.
There can't be too many hotels. Let's see if he's holed up.
Success! Checked in about an hour ago, cabin 40.
(Knocking) Alors, enfin.
I thought you'd...
Lisa, wha...?
How did you find me here?
Hi, pal. How's the kidnap business?
Daniel, I don't think he's very pleased to see us. He should be.
We're here to protect you.
You've no idea, she could have torn you into a thousand pieces.
Look at this, Daniel. Money, champagne. He knows how to live.
You'd better hurry, mr zorakin's waiting. Care for a glass?
The money!
Oh, if you want it, take it?
Ha-ha! Ooh!
Oh, Daniel!
Why did you have to do that? It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Well, why shouldn't I?
It means we will have to carry him out to the car.
I never thought of that. Come on, give me a hand.
Up!
Leave him alone!
Talk about surprises.
Give me the money. Give her the money.
I imagine you must be the brains behind this whole business.
It couldn't be him, he's far too stupid.
I set it up, if that's what you mean,
and believe me, $250,000 is hardly enough for putting up with her.
Now give me the money.
Mary, I hate to tell you but you're way out of character.
I mean, English gentlewomen do not go round pointing guns at people.
Keep away. The only value of a gun
is if you intend to use it, and I don't think you will.
I wouldn't risk it. Well, just think about it.
Killing me is only the beginning. You then have to kill Daniel and Lisa,
and you wouldn't want to do that, would you?
Now, give me the gun.
Please.
Give me the gun.
Daniel, I er... I don't think it's going to work.
It always works in movies.
Now...
You'll never let me do that again, will you?
Brett, thank you!
You sweet impetuous thing.
Danny, goodbye!
Now run along, my dear, you'll be late. Mm-hm.
So long!
Well, gentleman, anything you want, anything in the world.
I was wrong and I'm prepared to admit it. Ok, you admitted it.
You could spend a little more time with Lisa.
Be a father to her. You might even get to like each other.
Oh, I intend to, depend on it.
Now, Danny, you and I,
we are both in oil. Right, oil.
Now, you want to expand a little bit. Expand is right.
Open up new markets, go into oil freight.
Now, if you and Lisa were to get together,
marry, even,
we might combine our resources.
(Door closing)
Where did he go? You said the magic word, marry.
Well, Danny's a nice boy but you have a title.
It will look good on the notepaper.
Now, if you were to join the family, we might even get you a seat on the board.
(Door closing)
