06:06Let's go.

06:06What kind of a position is he in?

06:08Damn good one.

06:09Level of trust.

06:10Some of their own people are envious of.

06:11Which makes it even more dangerous for him.

06:14But let's bring this up to date.

06:15What about Richardson?

06:18That's a good question.

06:19I haven't got a good answer.

06:20I can only think it's a recent development. Keller hasn't given us the gen on it yet.

06:25We've got the man we captured in the boat. Spellman in particular.

06:29We'll get it out of him.

06:31I'd like to be present when you do.

06:34All right. Since we're pooling resources, we might as well put our boys together.

06:39Keller's not going to like the idea of a joint operation.

06:42We all do things we don't like, Freddy.

06:47I'm looking forward to meeting this bloke.

06:49Are you?

06:50Yeah.

06:51Oh, you've always been pretty cagey about your past. Made me healing a lot from you.

06:54I wouldn't count on it, mate.

06:56What's he like?

06:57Oh, he's okay.

06:58Oh, he's okay. That tells me a lot. What about some details?

07:01Look, you've read his file. You've had details.

07:04Something about him being shot. What was all that about?

07:07Oh, just on a recce one night at the farmhouse.

07:10He took a bullet and the back meant for me, I thought.

07:13That's nice of him.

07:14Yeah, and he's never let me forget it, either.

07:27That's where he hangs out, is it?

07:29Oh, yeah. He always did up, Toast.

07:32Oh, yeah. He always did up, Toast.

07:50Okay.

08:14All right.

08:16Let's go.

08:21you stupid bastards do you realize how long it took me to set up that operation two years two

08:25years work almost flushed down the can because you two cowboys came charging on that boat

08:30and i've been ordered to work with you idiots

08:35well at least i hope your luck got something out of that little fiasco

09:09in the boat

09:11there's not a lot of room to trade

09:14but we might alleviate matters

18:21something like that you don't believe me do you I have no real involvement with

18:27them look I believe you even without looking between your toes behind your

18:34knees can I trust you there gonna be something in it what about you I don't

18:38trust you as far as I could throw you and how far is that I'm afraid there's no

18:43doubt about it mr. Richardson they want you dead in God's name why because you're

18:48politically dangerous to someone someone rich enough to put out a very

18:52lucrative contract on you go on and the contract was placed outside the country

18:58a neat way of confounding the authorities in the event of your demise the PLA picked

19:02up the job I'd like to know who the devil it is James Sutherland Sutherland and

19:12the man's a multi-millionaire what would he want having me yes the Ligny inquiry yes

19:19indeed our mole perhaps forewarning him how did you get on to Sutherland all

19:25stages a little escapade which led us to the local broker he talked so what

19:30happens we go through with it what we've got a man on the inside with him pulling

19:36the strings we can arrange the whole thing you mean rig my assassination yes

19:40why don't you just arrest Sutherland not enough on him but we will have we've

19:45got his office bugged his home phone tapped both places under constant

19:49surveillance and we're setting up a monitor on the radio phone and

19:52Sutherland's car right now there's not a move he can make without us knowing about

20:02it what's the matter he's got a frequency scrambler operating great now what do we

20:09do well you're just gonna have to go around and unscramble the scrambler aren't

20:15you

20:29I won't need the car for a couple of hours thank you

21:06you

21:28We've got a meeting with Benedek.

21:30He wants to start the ball rolling on Richardson's head.

21:33Sounds like he's getting impatient.

21:37Sims, testing.

21:38Can you hear me?

21:39Loud and clear.

21:41You better not hang about.

21:43All right.

21:55What's this?

21:57I've prepared the plan.

21:58It can be put into operation quite quickly.

22:00This is a blueprint of Richardson's home.

22:02You can see the security system marked in here in...

22:05Wait a minute.

22:06This is my responsibility.

22:07If you want to take over that responsibility, you better say so.

22:09I'm not disregarding your position.

22:11My only motive is to make sure that there are no more delays.

22:14There will be no more delays.

22:16If you want to organize this whole thing, then count me out.

22:19Either it's down to me or you find yourself another man.

22:24If he walks out, I suppose you walk out with him?

22:27That's right.

22:32All right.

22:34All right, but I can't afford to waste any more time.

22:36You won't have to.

22:38Richardson is chairing an inquiry.

22:39They meet tomorrow at three.

22:41He's made the trip before.

22:42He never varies the route.

22:43He always passes along here.

22:45That's where we take him.

23:02Follow them.

23:03I want to know every place they go.

23:07The signal's coming through from Sutherland's car now.

23:10Switch it on to the speaker, sir.

23:13Jonathan.

23:13About the Italian transaction, I'm still waiting for a call on that.

23:18But I want you to begin organizing the withdrawal.

23:20Arrange for the whole amount, usual channels,

23:23and hurry it through as quickly as possible.

23:25If you warrant to organize transport,

23:27tell him I'll be collecting it personally.

23:30That's all.

23:32Sounds like a lot of money.

23:34Doesn't it?

23:35Hmm.

24:09Yes?

24:11Mr. Sutherland, I'm phoning on behalf of Renato Travaioli.

24:15We can now confirm our operation.

24:18It's set for tomorrow afternoon.

24:20Good.

24:21Tell Travaioli I'll be there to meet him as arranged.

24:24I will.

24:25Goodbye.

24:26Travaioli.

24:28Defense lawyer at the Melanfers.

24:47Yes, all right.

24:48Thank you very much.

24:50Travaioli's in Rome.

24:52Arriving here tomorrow, 1500 hours.

24:55Better let Bodhi know what's happening at this end.

24:56Yeah, he's calling me later.

24:58All right.

25:15Four-five.

25:18Four-five.

25:21Come on, Doyle, wake up.

25:24Where the bloody hell are you?

25:26All right, all right.

25:27Calm down.

25:28I'm just getting some air.

25:29How's things with you, over?

25:30Listen, it's tough out here, mate, you know, in the country.

25:33I'm really rough in it.

25:34No creature comforts at all.

25:38Still, we're struggling along.

25:39Any news on Richardson, over?

25:41Yeah.

25:41He's going to get an interrupted journey on his way to the inquiry tomorrow.

25:45I see.

25:45Busy day.

25:47One of the boys in Rome is coming over with a bundle for Sutherland.

25:51Oh, that's interesting.

25:52That's very useful.

25:54Hey, do you know who Keller's got staying with him here at the farmhouse?

25:57No, but I have a feeling you're just about to tell me.

25:59Sheila Kaufman.

26:00What, the Sheila Kaufman?

26:01Yeah.

26:02Not exactly a hard case, but a bit of a handful to have travelling around with you.

26:05Yeah, he's got a lot of nerve, that mate of yours.

26:08Where are they going to hit Richardson?

26:14You sure you've got enough energy left to do this?

26:20It's not as heavy as I thought it would be.

26:22It'll do the job.

26:23Are you sure?

26:28Of course you're sure.

26:59It's not as heavy as I thought it would be.

27:26It's not as heavy as I thought it would be.

27:45It's not as heavy as I thought it would be.

27:46It's not as bad as I thought it would look so good.

27:47But it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

27:48It's also what's coming to make.

27:48Hut one.

27:59.

27:59We did a little bit of the pepper.

28:02We got the pepper on the top.

28:04I thought you were like, well, I'm not supposed to be it.
