Who do you expect to
find in that rear view mirror?
My job is to see that
nothing happens to you.
Or that package in your lap.
Well, on behalf of the university
and myself, I appreciate it.
But, uh, I must say you
can afford to relax a little.
I doubt there are three
or four people in the
world who even know
about my pallium compound.
About 400 or more, according
to the SIA's latest estimate.
Considering that
you're supposed to be
protecting me, aren't
we going a little too fast?
Slow down!
I'm trying to, but the
accelerator's jammed.
Well, use the brakes!
Do something!
I can't! We're out of control!

No one could survive that crash.
Might convince any SIA agent
not to try to retrieve the pallium.
Go and get it.
[Music].
[Music].
[Music]
Oh, look, Al, I'm not asking you to spy.
Just asking for steel.
Kept most of his notes in his head.
But we do know that
pallium can take any shape.
Any form.
Ashtray, fork, vase, statuary, anything.
That's interesting.
Very interesting, Al. Very interesting.
We also know that it's subject
to temperature changes.
It expands at 110 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it contracts at zero.
Here's where it's stashed.
We took that shot from the helicopter. That
was the closest we could get to the place.
That's Nick Grobbo's estate, right?
That's right.
Are you kidding? Count me out.
You know him?
I know of him. That's enough.
No go, Noah. Not me.
You mean a man of your
extraordinary talents is
admitting that there is some
place that you can't crack?
That's exactly what I mean.
You can count me out.
Nick Grobbo is the
highest-priced fence in the world.
He deals with millions like
most people handle dimes.
You see that wall?
Yeah.
There's 14,000 volts shooting through it.
Really?
Yeah, really.
It could saute the
gravy stains on your tie.
I know the man, Noah. I know the operation.
It can't be done.
Believe me, it cannot be done.
Gee, Al, you really surprised me.
But I guess you know your own limitations.
I'll just have to get somebody else.
That place makes Bert's garden
look like a welcome wagon.
You don't have to press the point, Al.
Forget it.
But I've got to move.
Grobbo's already made his contacts.
He's gonna turn it
over to the other side in
a matter of hours or a
couple of days at most.
Let's see, whom shall I get?
How about Eddie Crane?
He's still doing time at San Quentin.
Wait a minute.
Eddie Crane?
Yeah. He's a good boy.
Eddie Crane is a good boy.
That's right.
He's a nickel and dime second story man.
He couldn't steal a banana
from a drunken monkey.
Well, you leave me no choice, Al.
Oh, boy. You're beautiful. Count me in.
As if that's any big shocker.
Eddie Crane.
(Whistles)
Thanks, Al.
You saved me a lot of paperwork.
Oh, well, I'm glad I saved
you a lot of paperwork.
Don't worry. It won't be so tough.
I've got an agent on the premises
already on Grobbo's employ.
Let me tell you about Pallium.
It is one of the most monumental scientific
discoveries in the last 20 years.
It is the most efficient
jet fuel yet devised.
We don't know exactly what it looks like.
Oh, that's great.
But we do have something
here that will lead you right to it.
Carl Higby, oral surgeon,
dentures on credit.
Terrific, Noah. Are you worried
about my overbite or something?
Feel the cart. Feel the cart.
Feel the cart.
Feel the cart.
The gimmick is in the lettering.
It's an alloy that has a
magnetic affinity for Pallium.
This will be your testing device.
Well, that's something, but it's not much.
I agree.
Oh, here's something else.
Me?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
This, uh, our agent will
wear a pair like these.
Oh, yeah?
Well, how will I get close
enough to see them?
You see, in order to
get on that property, you
either have to be
born there or be invited.
So be invited.

You men were on the scene so quickly, you
undoubtedly frightened the burglar away.
Thank goodness it's safe.
One moment, please.
Dr. Matthews?
Yes?
You are the curator of the museum?
I am.
Good morning, sir. C.W. Featherstone?
Lloyds?
Oh, yes.
As we heard of the
attempted theft last evening,
you will recall that we do
hold the policy on the Hobarth?
Well, you may rest
assured, it's perfectly safe.
Oh, good.
But you know, thieves have been known
to switch pace for the real thing, sir.
Do you mind if I check the
authenticity of this down?
Oh, of course.
Thief didn't have time to make a switch.
Ah, yes.
Dr. Matthews, may I suggest that
you telephone the police immediately?
This stone is a perfect imitation.
What?
Yes, sir.
Here, take the glass, take a look.
Hold it up to the light, sir.
You see the center?
Oh, yes, it's pace, sir.
Ah.
Pace?
Yes, sir, pure pace.
Diamond stolen, diamond
missing, Hobarth diamond stolen.
I knew it, I knew it was you all along.
You realize you risk involving the agency
in the biggest diamond theft in ten years?
Fifteen.
But who's counting?
That's right, that's right.
Go ahead, make jokes.
We'll both end up doing time together, and
I just hope I get the cell next to yours.
No, I was only following orders.
You don't get invited
to see the biggest fence
in the world with a
trunk full of hubcaps.
By the way, I'll be
calling you from Grobbo's
house, so we better work
out some kind of code.
All right. You're so sure that
Grobbo's gonna contact you now, huh?
Yeah, I put the word out to all the right
people, they know I've got the Hobarth.
He'll call, believe me.
(door bell rings)
Wow, company.
Oh, you better make yourself
scarce, that might be the cops.
The cops?
Mr. Mundy?
My employer would like to have the pleasure
of your company at his home tomorrow.
Who's your employer?
Will you be there?
Oh, I'll be there.
Thank you, Mr. Mundy.
Mr. Grobbo will expect you at three o'clock.
Yeah.
Eddie Crane, huh?
Yes, sir?
Alexander Mundy.
Please step out for a moment, sir.
[sniffing]
Please stand here, sir.
Face the camera.
Now, this is my bad side.
Mr. Mundy, verify.
Hello, mother.
He may pass.
Who is that, the Wizard of Oz?
You may proceed, Mr. Mundy.
Oh, thank you.
No, no, no, darling.
Don't touch the sides, leave him alone.
Ah, Mr. Mundy, I've been
looking forward to this for years.
Mr. Grobbo.
Let's change that right now to Al and Nick.
Much better.
I hate to do business with strangers.
That will do, darling.
But Mr. Grobbo, you
said... I said that will do.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, that.
Now then, Al, I understand you
acquired something of considerable beauty.
And value.
Value, meaning money?
Shall we talk a deal?
It's your playground.
You pick the game.
Fine, you pick the drink.
Make a scotch.
I beg your pardon, sir.
Yes?
Would Villeneuve's Soix with
artichokes be satisfactory for dinner?
Delightful, darling.
Thank you, sir.
If those are the girls you put to
work, I'd like to meet your playmates.
Perhaps you will.
Touch of water?
Thank you.
I insist you stay for dinner.
I feel you're a man who will
appreciate Paulette's Villeneuve's Soix.
Well, I'm sure that all of Paulette's
specialties are finger-licking good.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Now then, Al, my offer is 75/25
split on whatever I get for the Hobart.
75 for me.
Your sense of humor is charming.
You will be happy to take 25.
I think we better forget it.
I took all of the risks.
I pulled the caper.
But I will stay for dinner.
But who can dispose of it?
Such a magnificent and traceable stuff.
Who?
I. Only I.
So, I won't stay for dinner.
I can see you are determined.
All right.
65/35.
I'll think about it.
But I think I'll say no.
Think again.
Come in.
Come in, darling.
Mr. Mundy, may I present Georgiana.
Happy to meet you.
Very pleased to meet you.
Love, tell me the truth.
Am I getting a tan?
Mm, delicious.
Georgiana is my ski instructor.
You're also some sort of a
countess, aren't you, darling?
When it suits me.
Mundy, would that be Al Mundy?
I admit to it.
Gentleman who's so clever with his hands.
Very clever.
Mr. Grobbo, transit line a
call on your private line.
Excuse me.
And keep thinking, hmm?
Well, I'm glad it's you.
Are you really?
Well, I'm glad it's you.
What I mean is
we're going to be spending a lot of
time together in the next few hours.
I think I'd enjoy that very much.
Have we met before?
Oh, sure.
Where?
Somewhere on the edge of
the world, watching the stars fall.
I've never been on the edge
of the world, but I'm game.
Maybe we could get Noah to send us there
when this little caper is over, together.
No a caper.
I don't understand a word you're
saying, but I adore the way you say it.
Oh!
There they are!
Are these yours?
I'm terribly sorry.
When I came out of the
pool, I saw them on the table,
and I was too horribly lazy
to run upstairs for my own.
Wasn't that awful?
Not at all.
I don't think you've met.
This is Miss Hopkins.
How do you do?
I'm Alexander Mundy.
Edwina is Mr. Grobbo's social secretary.
That is what you do
around here, isn't it, dear?
Oh, yes!
I'm so pleased to meet you.
I was told you were coming.
Mr. Grobbo said you'd stay for dinner.
We'd dress.
I don't have a dinner jacket.
I'm sure we can find one to fit you.
If you'll come with me, I'll take you
to a place where you can change.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
About the edge of the world.
I know.
You'll have Noah send us
there after this is all over.
Who's Noah?
Noah?
Oh, my travel agent.
See you later.
Are you ready, Miss Hopkins?
(music)
It's safe to talk here.
I've checked.
You'll find what you need in that closet.
What I need is a new inside man.
What did you say your name was?
Edwina Hopkins.
What made you take the earrings off?
You could have blown the whole operation.
I decided that wearing these
swimming might look suspicious.
What do you think?
I think it was a pretty expensive swim.
Even if you use your head, I'd make the
odds 50/50 that we get out of here alive.
I was placed here to
handle the electronics.
I'll do my job.
Don't worry about that.
Did you bring the bug with you?
Right.
Noah said it was the latest model.
All we have to do is find a place to...
Oh, you don't have to explain the capabilities
of the sensor 14 to me, Mr. Mundy.
I designed it.
We'll be able to monitor
any call coming into
the house on any circuit
from this phone here.
Well, I see you know your job.
Noah said you'd have
a floor plan of the house.
Where is it?
It's in my room, which is next to yours.
I planned it that way.
Well, that's nice.
Then I won't have to
run up and down the halls
looking for you in
the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, Mr. Mundy,
that door stays closed and locked.
Oh, I know about your way with women.
Oh, I know we'll be
working closely together.
But that's the only thing
we'll be doing closely together.
Terrific.
Who do you report to?
Noah or your mother?
You forgot to lock it.
Ed?
Struck me as rather odd, that's all.
First he made this obvious play for me,
and then talks about working
together on some kind of caper.
I thought you'd like to know.
Thank you, darling.
If Mr. Mundy has come
with ulterior motives,
he might just end up
being a permanent guest.
Come in.
It wasn't locked.
Grobbo's heard from the agents.
I heard him telling George.
George?
That's the Butler.
Oh, I met him, the one
with the .45 in his belt.
Can you fix this tie for me?
Do you smell good?
And you can't fix a tie that far away.
Mr. Mundy, please.
What else did you hear?
That their plane lands at 10 P.M.
and that they'll phone
again to confirm what time
tomorrow they'll get
here to pick up the goods.
That's fast.
That means that we've got to move faster.
There were 20 rooms in this place, right?
I've got to figure out a
dodge to stay overnight.
All I've got is two problems now, what
room it's in and what I'm looking for.
This will save some time,
but I've only got one of those.
That means that you can't help me.
We've got to find out
exactly what room that's in.
Well, how are you going to do that?
I'm sure Grobo hasn't even told the Butler.
Maybe not.
But he'll tell me.
Now that's where you've got me wrong.
I'm
not a thief.
No?
No.
I'm an artist.
Oh?
You think I'm putting you on?
Look at those fingers.
And what else makes an artist?
A man that can do something inspired that
no other man can do.
Right?
Well as a man who does a little amateur painting and
sculpting I have to agree with that, yes.
And just because you're so simpatico
I've decided to accept your offer.
Good.
A 50/50 split.
No, no, no. My offer was 65/35.
But I think your
salesmanship is worth another 50%.
I accept. 50/50.
Good.
Darling.
May I use the phone?
Well I obviously
don't have the rock on me.
You didn't trust me, Al.
Oh sure.
It's the white one.
By the way, if you're
thinking about tracing
this call to eliminate
the middleman, it's a
public phone in a bar.
You want the address?
No, thank you.
(Phone ringing)
Ernie,
please.
This is Ernie, go ahead.
Al Mundy.
You remember that gift package
I asked you to hold for
me?
I want you to bring it out to the address that
I told you about.
Okay, I understand.
When do
you want it?
Oh, you can't make it till tomorrow
afternoon.
Just a moment.
Will that be all right?
Oh, Nick, can you put
me up for the night?
Well naturally, Al.
Yeah, that'll be fine.
Don't get lost.
- Don't worry.
I'll be around.
Well, the deal's all set.
Oh,that's good.
You didn't
mind my inviting myself
for the night.
On the
contrary, Al, I find your
company stimulating. Not that I find yours
unstimulating, my darling.
Well, that isn't what I meant, Nick. I do have a reputation,
and let's be honest about it. You must have
two million dollars worth
of trinkets lying around this place.
Your figure
is quite accurate.
A lucky guess, huh?
Lucky
nothing. I ran my own
private Dun and
Bradstreet on you. I checked
you out down to your
inlays.
Al, my friend, with
all due respect to your
reputation, I am quite
invincible. I am not in
the least afraid of you
or anybody else.
A call Mr. Grobo on your private lines.
Will you excuse
me?
Hello.
Oh, how nice of you to call. I certainly
wouldn't want you to
leave town without dropping
by. Once we have the
material, we like to
be out of the country as
quickly as possible.
If
connections are good, we
could be at your house
at 8 A.M.
That's perfect, and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing
you again. Goodbye, darling.
Oh, excuse the interruption. One of
my ex-wives.
Thank you, darling. But we're
still friends.
You're too sure of yourself, Nick.
I beg your pardon?
You're too sure of yourself. You
think you're Mr. Man of
Mystery. Suppose I told
you that right now you're
involved in the biggest
deal of your life, and
that ex-wife of yours
is the buyer.
I'd say you have a fantastic
imagination.
And if I also told you that just for laughs
I've already copped the goods?
Yeah, preposterous.
Even if such a thing were true, you wouldn't
tell me about it.
Sure I would, to prove to you
what an artist I really am.
Ah, magnificent. A truly fantastic bluffer.
Really, Al, we've got to play poker.
You're right, Nick. It was a put-off. I mean, how could I con you?
I mean, you'd spot me coming a mile away, wouldn't you?
Thank you, Al, I take that as a compliment.
Good.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
I've got to be up by dawn, and I'm
gonna swim in that private ocean that
you call a pool.
This is yours, isn't it?
This was pressing.
Not bad, huh?
Told you he couldn't be trusted.
Oh, I've got to play poker with that man.
Of course, if he ever did such a thing
again, I'd kill him.
What if he has stolen something of value?
He has stolen nothing. Don't be foolish, my darling.
Any luck?
Yeah. Get downstairs
and find out which room Grobo
goes into, and watch out for yourself, will you, Ed?
- Right.
(upbeat music)
- Mr. Grobo, excuse me, sir.
For your signature, so
that I can mail them early.
- All right.
- Thank you, good night, sir.
- Good night.
(slapping)
- But he must have gone
through all that for some reason.
- Okay, at least I know the
pallium is somewhere in the study.
Now you go back in your
room, I'm going to work.
- Good luck, Mr. Mundy.
- Thanks, Ed.

(dramatic music)
- Well, well, what have we here?
- I guess you're looking
for some sort of explanation.
- To tell the truth, Al, no.
You know, I'm really surprised at you, Al.
A professional of your stature.
- Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
- Yes, but the question is why?
Why?
You're too intelligent
for nonsense like this.
- To prove that I could do it.
Now I know that's a poor
cop out to lead with your ego.
But you're the man, the man.
I wanted to see if I could top you.
- I gave you credit for more class, Al.
This is hardly proper behavior for a guest.
- Yeah, well, I apologize
if that means anything.
- It doesn't.
You see, I'm still old-fashioned enough
to believe in honor among thieves.
- You're going to take
away my visitor's permit?
- No, no, no, I made a deal
and I want the whole bar.
- George, you will escort Mr. Mundy to his
room where he will remain incommunicado
until the diamond arrives
tomorrow afternoon.
Take him away.
Now wait, wait.
Wait a moment.
Empty his pockets.
He's welted.
Says we have to protect Mr. Mondi against
himself until our deal is consummated.
You see, we don't want him
to use anything that can be
turned into a lockpick or in
any way used for burglary.
He may return his handkerchief.
- I get the feeling you don't trust me.
- You've got a lot of style.
(door thuds)
(knocking)
- Oh, George, yes?
- Keep your door locked.
Mr. Mondi's not to leave his room.
Mr. Grobo's orders.
- Yes, of course.
- You're a good boy and you
come out of this smelling like a Rose.
- And if I don't, I come
out holding one, right?
- You got it, Sonny.
- We're in trouble.
They stole my wallet
with the testing card in it.
- Did they know about the card?
- No, they think I was
trying to steal the money.
But the point is, without that
card, I don't know what I'm
looking for, whether it's
an ashtray, a statue, a vase.
- And this place is a museum of things.
- Not this place.
That study.
That's a museum of things.
I know it's in there.
Now, Noah said something about heat.
Pallium expands with heat.
110 degrees.
If we could apply heat.
Do they have a central heating system here?
- Yes, a steady 74 degrees.
- Now, that's not enough.
If I could get into Grobo's
room and close the vent,
could you rewire the central
heating unit to stay on wide open?
- Of course.
That, as you might say,
Mr. Mundy, is my bag.
All I have to do is jump to the thermostat.
- Oh.
Okay, Ed.
Do your thing.
- As soon as the household retires.
- In the meantime, uh... Oh, Ed.
(gentle music).
(gentle music)
- Grobo's making his cutter pretty thin.
- It'll be light in a couple of hours.
Those agents will be here by then.
- Come on, let's move.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music).
(dramatic music)
- Take the early shift on the gate.
- All right.
(dramatic music).
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
- George!
George!
George!
- Something the matter?
- Not if you like steam baths.
What's wrong with the furnace?
- I'll take him to it.
- Well, do that.
- Yes.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(bell ringing)
(dramatic music)
- They're okay, but they're early.
Mr. Grobo will see them in 10
minutes and they'll die for breakfast.
I gotta go, I got a job to take care of.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
- Ah, gentlemen, gentlemen.
- Mr. Grobo.
- You do, excuse me.
- Oh yes, permit me to apologize.
Something with the furnace, I don't know,
but I'm sure it will cool
down in a few moments.
No, I know you stay short, but
before returning to your own country
with what you came
for, I thought perhaps you
might enjoy a few of
our local delicacies.
- Thank you.
- Please, please.
- Mr. Grobo.
- Yes, darling.
Excuse me, and be seated, be seated.
Yes, what is it?
- I beg your pardon,
sir, but it's my mother.
I called her to see how she was,
after the operation, I mean,
and well, it's just horrible.
The nurse walked off and left her
all alone, and would it be all right,
I mean, I'll stay if you need me, of
course, but would it be possible for me
to have the rest of the day
off, and I'll be back Monday?
- But of course, darling,
don't give it another thought.
Here, take my car.
- Thank you, sir, thank you very much.
- All right, darling, all right.
Well, I hired the girl because
she's a hard worker, obviously.
(laughing)
- Of course.
(laughing)
- Bon appetit.
(gentle music)
(music)
(upbeat music)
(tense music)
(tense music)
- It was excellent, we thank you.
- Well, at least we finished
breakfast under bearable conditions.
It must have been 95 in here.
- 95?
- Mm.
- Well, there isn't sufficient
heat to affect the compound, is it?
- No, it would take at least another
10 or 15 degrees to cause any change.
- Change?
What sort of change?
- Heat creates a dilation
in the palliant molecules.
They expand geometrically,
doubling, even tripling their size.
It depends on the amount of heat.
- Excuse me.
(tense music)
- Are you all right?
- I didn't know you cared.
- Oh, I'm all packed.
- Not quite, one more
thing goes in your luggage.
They won't be searching you.
- Okay.
What's the matter?
- Oh, baby.
- What are you doing?
(whimpering)
- Get your hands off me!
- He seemed so polite and respectful.
The only time I spoke to him
was when I took him to his room.
I never dreamed.
And then he forced his way into
my room and dragged me in here,
and then he grabbed me and he kissed
me, and oh, it was awful, Mr. Grobo.
- Yes, I know, darling, I know, I know.
(whimpering)
- Listen, you don't exactly send
shivers up and down my spine, either.
- Don't worry, darling, you're
just going home to mother.
- Mother?
That's not a bad idea.
You know, you got a lot of hangups.
- Oh, please don't insult my intelligence.
He has no great passion for you, darling.
Mr. Mundy's a thief, and he
was using you to camouflage
his crime, for which he
will be justly punished.
Go on, darling, go on.
George, Mr. Mundy is no ordinary thief.
He might even be working
for some government agency.
I would like him removed from my hair.
Permanently.
(dramatic music)
- Don't get cute, Sonny.
We don't want to die with a broken arm.
- Yeah, amongst other things.
(grunting)
- Uh-oh, through playing.
- Hey, that was great.
Get the sheets off the bed.
- You can't imagine how horrible I
felt letting him catch you like that.
- I'm so stupid.
- I thought you put on a pretty good act.
If you were an actress, you'd
have an Oscar on your mantle.
Now you'll have to settle for me.
- I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time.
I really botched it beautifully.
Right now, Grobo's giving
the paleum to those agents.
- Yeah, but not all of it.
I got a piece of it in my pocket.
Now look, I'm gonna split out the back.
I've gotta make it to the garage.
You go out the front, and in three minutes,
be cruising down the
driveway in your car, okay?
- Right.
(laughing)
- Well, gentlemen, any time
I can be of service to you.
If the price is right, of course.
- Of course.
- Goodbye. - Pleasure.
- Thank you, goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Mr. Grobo.
- Mundy?
He took me.
Man, he's fast.
I never even saw the punch.
(phone ringing)
- Main gate.
Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Grobo.
Yes, sir, every vehicle going through.
No, sir, he sure won't.
Sorry, sir, a little problem.
We gotta search the car.
- We were guests of Mr. Grobo.
- Nothing personal.
We gotta find a guy.
(engine rumbling)
- The Butler slipped his leash.
- Now they're gonna wanna
stop us and search the car.
How are we gonna get through?
- Well, they'll only search it once.
They won't search it twice.
Look, Ed, I know you've got
a lot of emotional hangups,
but for the sake of patriotism,
can you come on sexy?
- Sexy?
- Yeah, I want you to turn on.
Come on strong.
Pull out all the stops with
those guards at the gate.
- Oh, well, I don't think I could.
- Look, you've got to try it.
You see that button?
That's a trunk release.
After they've searched the
car, try and hit that button.
(woman moaning)
(dramatic music)
- Sorry, Miss Hopkins, we
gotta look through your car.
Orders from the house.
- Anything you say, sugar.
- Would you mind opening the trunk?
(door opening)
- Your name's Sam, isn't it?
- Yeah, that's right.
- Tell me, Sam, are you married?
- Who, me?
Nah, not me.
- Oh, really?
How nice.
I never noticed before what
enormous shoulders you have.
And blue eyes.
I adore blue eyes.
What do you boys do
when you're not working?
And if the answer is nothing in
particular, I can suggest something.
- I'm sorry we held you up, Miss Hopkins.
You can go now.
- But I'll be back.
- Whatever you say, Miss Hopkins.
- Bye, boys.
(car engine roaring)
- What is it, Miss Hopkins?
- Look.
- Oh, your heel.
- And it's all your
fault, you naughty boys.
It must be out there in the dirt somewhere.
(upbeat music)
- Oh no, here it is.
Oh, I'm sorry I caused you any trouble.
- No trouble at all.
We enjoyed it.
(car engine roaring)
- He wasn't in either car, you're sure?
Yes, yes, keep checking.
Well, have you found him?
- He's not in the house.
- Not in the house?
- I'll check the front gate.
- I already have, he didn't pass through.
- He must be still in the grounds.
- Search the grounds, but I don't
think you are going to find Mr. Mundy.
- He can't have gotten
away, he's not that clever.
- No, he didn't seem to be the deal.
And that's the delicious part.
You see, he led me to underestimate him.
I've been beaten at my own game.
- Game?
- It's called ego.
I'm afraid Mr. Mundy has beaten me.
This time.
(upbeat music)
(car engine roaring)
- Looking for a lift?
Yes, we were.
But I think that's going
to be your problem now.
- Hold it.
- Well, just in the Nick of time, daddy.
- I told you I'd be around,
I'm sorry it took so long.
Lucky that radiator boiled over.
- Lucky?
You know, you hurt me to the quick,
Noah, and I've got a very tender quick.
- Oh, you did it, huh?
- That's right.
- What'd you do, drain
the water from the radiator?
- It wouldn't have made it to the gate.
- Then how'd you do it?
- It's a matter of chemistry, Noah.
You see, an automobile
radiator boils over at 230 degrees.
- I know.
- Well, you take a small piece
of pallium, put it into the radiator.
(upbeat music)
- I must say, I was almost as worried
about this as I was about the pallium.
- Noah, you've got to enjoy worrying.
You are one of the great worriers I know.
Believe me, you're
fantastic the way you worry.
- I'm also worried about Edwina Hopkins.
I talked to her on the phone last night.
She's determined to quit.
I couldn't talk her out of it.
Seems she's lost all her confidence.
- Well, not quite all of it.
I had a little chat with
her myself last night, and I
pointed out a few of the
areas that she had overlooked.
We could not have pulled
off the caper without her.
- Oh.
Oh.
- He's right, Mr. Bain.
And I want you to
know I feel terribly guilty.
- About what?
- All this time I've been
operating at half power.
I've never really given
you my full potential.
- I don't understand
what you're talking about.
- You see, she killed the guards.
She destroyed them.
- She also dug it.
- It was marvelous.
- And she wants more.
- You find a good thing,
you stick with it, right?
- So long, Noah.
Come on, Ed.
Wait a minute, where are you two going?
- Don't worry, Mr. Bain.
You'll get him back.
One of these days.
- I liked her better the other way.
- You would.

Who do you expect to
find in that rear view mirror?
My job is to see that
nothing happens to you.
Or that package in your lap.
Well, on behalf of the university
and myself, I appreciate it.
But, uh, I must say you
can afford to relax a little.
I doubt there are three
or four people in the
world who even know
about my pallium compound.
About 400 or more, according
to the SIA's latest estimate.
Considering that
you're supposed to be
protecting me, aren't
we going a little too fast?
Slow down!
I'm trying to, but the
accelerator's jammed.
Well, use the brakes!
Do something!
I can't! We're out of control!
[Tires screeching].

No one could survive that crash.
Might convince any SIA agent
not to try to retrieve the pallium.
Go and get it.
[Music].
[Music].
[Music]
Oh, look, Al, I'm not asking you to spy.
Just asking for steel.
Kept most of his notes in his head.
But we do know that
pallium can take any shape.
Any form.
Ashtray, fork, vase, statuary, anything.
That's interesting.
Very interesting, Al. Very interesting.
We also know that it's subject
to temperature changes.
It expands at 110 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it contracts at zero.
Here's where it's stashed.
We took that shot from the helicopter. That
was the closest we could get to the place.
That's Nick Grobbo's estate, right?
That's right.
Are you kidding? Count me out.
You know him?
I know of him. That's enough.
No go, Noah. Not me.
You mean a man of your
extraordinary talents is
admitting that there is some
place that you can't crack?
That's exactly what I mean.
You can count me out.
Nick Grobbo is the
highest-priced fence in the world.
He deals with millions like
most people handle dimes.
You see that wall?
Yeah.
There's 14,000 volts shooting through it.
Really?
Yeah, really.
It could saute the
gravy stains on your tie.
I know the man, Noah. I know the operation.
It can't be done.
Believe me, it cannot be done.
Gee, Al, you really surprised me.
But I guess you know your own limitations.
I'll just have to get somebody else.
That place makes Bert's garden
look like a welcome wagon.
You don't have to press the point, Al.
Forget it.
But I've got to move.
Grobbo's already made his contacts.
He's gonna turn it
over to the other side in
a matter of hours or a
couple of days at most.
Let's see, whom shall I get?
How about Eddie Crane?
He's still doing time at San Quentin.
Wait a minute.
Eddie Crane?
Yeah. He's a good boy.
Eddie Crane is a good boy.
That's right.
He's a nickel and dime second story man.
He couldn't steal a banana
from a drunken monkey.
Well, you leave me no choice, Al.
Oh, boy. You're beautiful. Count me in.
As if that's any big shocker.
Eddie Crane.
(Whistles)
Thanks, Al.
You saved me a lot of paperwork.
Oh, well, I'm glad I saved
you a lot of paperwork.
Don't worry. It won't be so tough.
I've got an agent on the premises
already on Grobbo's employ.
Let me tell you about Pallium.
It is one of the most monumental scientific
discoveries in the last 20 years.
It is the most efficient
jet fuel yet devised.
We don't know exactly what it looks like.
Oh, that's great.
But we do have something
here that will lead you right to it.
Carl Higby, oral surgeon,
dentures on credit.
Terrific, Noah. Are you worried
about my overbite or something?
Feel the cart. Feel the cart.
Feel the cart.
Feel the cart.
The gimmick is in the lettering.
It's an alloy that has a
magnetic affinity for Pallium.
This will be your testing device.
Well, that's something, but it's not much.
I agree.
Oh, here's something else.
Me?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
This, uh, our agent will
wear a pair like these.
Oh, yeah?
Well, how will I get close
enough to see them?
You see, in order to
get on that property, you
either have to be
born there or be invited.
So be invited.

You men were on the scene so quickly, you
undoubtedly frightened the burglar away.
Thank goodness it's safe.
One moment, please.
Dr. Matthews?
Yes?
You are the curator of the museum?
I am.
Good morning, sir. C.W. Featherstone?
Lloyds?
Oh, yes.
As we heard of the
attempted theft last evening,
you will recall that we do
hold the policy on the Hobarth?
Well, you may rest
assured, it's perfectly safe.
Oh, good.
But you know, thieves have been known
to switch pace for the real thing, sir.
Do you mind if I check the
authenticity of this down?
Oh, of course.
Thief didn't have time to make a switch.
Ah, yes.
Dr. Matthews, may I suggest that
you telephone the police immediately?
This stone is a perfect imitation.
What?
Yes, sir.
Here, take the glass, take a look.
Hold it up to the light, sir.
You see the center?
Oh, yes, it's pace, sir.
Ah.
Pace?
Yes, sir, pure pace.
Diamond stolen, diamond
missing, Hobarth diamond stolen.
I knew it, I knew it was you all along.
You realize you risk involving the agency
in the biggest diamond theft in ten years?
Fifteen.
But who's counting?
That's right, that's right.
Go ahead, make jokes.
We'll both end up doing time together, and
I just hope I get the cell next to yours.
No, I was only following orders.
You don't get invited
to see the biggest fence
in the world with a
trunk full of hubcaps.
By the way, I'll be
calling you from Grobbo's
house, so we better work
out some kind of code.
All right. You're so sure that
Grobbo's gonna contact you now, huh?
Yeah, I put the word out to all the right
people, they know I've got the Hobarth.
He'll call, believe me.
(door bell rings)
Wow, company.
Oh, you better make yourself
scarce, that might be the cops.
The cops?
Mr. Mundy?
My employer would like to have the pleasure
of your company at his home tomorrow.
Who's your employer?
Will you be there?
Oh, I'll be there.
Thank you, Mr. Mundy.
Mr. Grobbo will expect you at three o'clock.
Yeah.
Eddie Crane, huh?
Yes, sir?
Alexander Mundy.
Please step out for a moment, sir.
[sniffing]
Please stand here, sir.
Face the camera.
Now, this is my bad side.
Mr. Mundy, verify.
Hello, mother.
He may pass.
Who is that, the Wizard of Oz?
You may proceed, Mr. Mundy.
Oh, thank you.
No, no, no, darling.
Don't touch the sides, leave him alone.
Ah, Mr. Mundy, I've been
looking forward to this for years.
Mr. Grobbo.
Let's change that right now to Al and Nick.
Much better.
I hate to do business with strangers.
That will do, darling.
But Mr. Grobbo, you
said... I said that will do.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, that.
Now then, Al, I understand you
acquired something of considerable beauty.
And value.
Value, meaning money?
Shall we talk a deal?
It's your playground.
You pick the game.
Fine, you pick the drink.
Make a scotch.
I beg your pardon, sir.
Yes?
Would Villeneuve's Soix with
artichokes be satisfactory for dinner?
Delightful, darling.
Thank you, sir.
If those are the girls you put to
work, I'd like to meet your playmates.
Perhaps you will.
Touch of water?
Thank you.
I insist you stay for dinner.
I feel you're a man who will
appreciate Paulette's Villeneuve's Soix.
Well, I'm sure that all of Paulette's
specialties are finger-licking good.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Now then, Al, my offer is 75/25
split on whatever I get for the Hobart.
75 for me.
Your sense of humor is charming.
You will be happy to take 25.
I think we better forget it.
I took all of the risks.
I pulled the caper.
But I will stay for dinner.
But who can dispose of it?
Such a magnificent and traceable stuff.
Who?
I. Only I.
So, I won't stay for dinner.
I can see you are determined.
All right.
65/35.
I'll think about it.
But I think I'll say no.
Think again.
Come in.
Come in, darling.
Mr. Mundy, may I present Georgiana.
Happy to meet you.
Very pleased to meet you.
Love, tell me the truth.
Am I getting a tan?
Mm, delicious.
Georgiana is my ski instructor.
You're also some sort of a
countess, aren't you, darling?
When it suits me.
Mundy, would that be Al Mundy?
I admit to it.
Gentleman who's so clever with his hands.
Very clever.
Mr. Grobbo, transit line a
call on your private line.
Excuse me.
And keep thinking, hmm?
Well, I'm glad it's you.
Are you really?
Well, I'm glad it's you.
What I mean is
we're going to be spending a lot of
time together in the next few hours.
I think I'd enjoy that very much.
Have we met before?
Oh, sure.
Where?
Somewhere on the edge of
the world, watching the stars fall.
I've never been on the edge
of the world, but I'm game.
Maybe we could get Noah to send us there
when this little caper is over, together.
No a caper.
I don't understand a word you're
saying, but I adore the way you say it.
Oh!
There they are!
Are these yours?
I'm terribly sorry.
When I came out of the
pool, I saw them on the table,
and I was too horribly lazy
to run upstairs for my own.
Wasn't that awful?
Not at all.
I don't think you've met.
This is Miss Hopkins.
How do you do?
I'm Alexander Mundy.
Edwina is Mr. Grobbo's social secretary.
That is what you do
around here, isn't it, dear?
Oh, yes!
I'm so pleased to meet you.
I was told you were coming.
Mr. Grobbo said you'd stay for dinner.
We'd dress.
I don't have a dinner jacket.
I'm sure we can find one to fit you.
If you'll come with me, I'll take you
to a place where you can change.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
About the edge of the world.
I know.
You'll have Noah send us
there after this is all over.
Who's Noah?
Noah?
Oh, my travel agent.
See you later.
Are you ready, Miss Hopkins?
(music)
It's safe to talk here.
I've checked.
You'll find what you need in that closet.
What I need is a new inside man.
What did you say your name was?
Edwina Hopkins.
What made you take the earrings off?
You could have blown the whole operation.
I decided that wearing these
swimming might look suspicious.
What do you think?
I think it was a pretty expensive swim.
Even if you use your head, I'd make the
odds 50/50 that we get out of here alive.
I was placed here to
handle the electronics.
I'll do my job.
Don't worry about that.
Did you bring the bug with you?
Right.
Noah said it was the latest model.
All we have to do is find a place to...
Oh, you don't have to explain the capabilities
of the sensor 14 to me, Mr. Mundy.
I designed it.
We'll be able to monitor
any call coming into
the house on any circuit
from this phone here.
Well, I see you know your job.
Noah said you'd have
a floor plan of the house.
Where is it?
It's in my room, which is next to yours.
I planned it that way.
Well, that's nice.
Then I won't have to
run up and down the halls
looking for you in
the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, Mr. Mundy,
that door stays closed and locked.
Oh, I know about your way with women.
Oh, I know we'll be
working closely together.
But that's the only thing
we'll be doing closely together.
Terrific.
Who do you report to?
Noah or your mother?
You forgot to lock it.
Ed?
Struck me as rather odd, that's all.
First he made this obvious play for me,
and then talks about working
together on some kind of caper.
I thought you'd like to know.
Thank you, darling.
If Mr. Mundy has come
with ulterior motives,
he might just end up
being a permanent guest.
Come in.
It wasn't locked.
Grobbo's heard from the agents.
I heard him telling George.
George?
That's the Butler.
Oh, I met him, the one
with the .45 in his belt.
Can you fix this tie for me?
Do you smell good?
And you can't fix a tie that far away.
Mr. Mundy, please.
What else did you hear?
That their plane lands at 10 P.M.
and that they'll phone
again to confirm what time
tomorrow they'll get
here to pick up the goods.
That's fast.
That means that we've got to move faster.
There were 20 rooms in this place, right?
I've got to figure out a
dodge to stay overnight.
All I've got is two problems now, what
room it's in and what I'm looking for.
This will save some time,
but I've only got one of those.
That means that you can't help me.
We've got to find out
exactly what room that's in.
Well, how are you going to do that?
I'm sure Grobo hasn't even told the Butler.
Maybe not.
But he'll tell me.
Now that's where you've got me wrong.
I'm
not a thief.
No?
No.
I'm an artist.
Oh?
You think I'm putting you on?
Look at those fingers.
And what else makes an artist?
A man that can do something inspired that
no other man can do.
Right?
Well as a man who does a little amateur painting and
sculpting I have to agree with that, yes.
And just because you're so simpatico
I've decided to accept your offer.
Good.
A 50/50 split.
No, no, no. My offer was 65/35.
But I think your
salesmanship is worth another 50%.
I accept. 50/50.
Good.
Darling.
May I use the phone?
Well I obviously
don't have the rock on me.
You didn't trust me, Al.
Oh sure.
It's the white one.
By the way, if you're
thinking about tracing
this call to eliminate
the middleman, it's a
public phone in a bar.
You want the address?
No, thank you.
(Phone ringing)
Ernie,
please.
This is Ernie, go ahead.
Al Mundy.
You remember that gift package
I asked you to hold for
me?
I want you to bring it out to the address that
I told you about.
Okay, I understand.
When do
you want it?
Oh, you can't make it till tomorrow
afternoon.
Just a moment.
Will that be all right?
Oh, Nick, can you put
me up for the night?
Well naturally, Al.
Yeah, that'll be fine.
Don't get lost.
- Don't worry.
I'll be around.
Well, the deal's all set.
Oh,that's good.
You didn't
mind my inviting myself
for the night.
On the
contrary, Al, I find your
company stimulating. Not that I find yours
unstimulating, my darling.
Well, that isn't what I meant, Nick. I do have a reputation,
and let's be honest about it. You must have
two million dollars worth
of trinkets lying around this place.
Your figure
is quite accurate.
A lucky guess, huh?
Lucky
nothing. I ran my own
private Dun and
Bradstreet on you. I checked
you out down to your
inlays.
Al, my friend, with
all due respect to your
reputation, I am quite
invincible. I am not in
the least afraid of you
or anybody else.
A call Mr. Grobo on your private lines.
Will you excuse
me?
Hello.
Oh, how nice of you to call. I certainly
wouldn't want you to
leave town without dropping
by. Once we have the
material, we like to
be out of the country as
quickly as possible.
If
connections are good, we
could be at your house
at 8 A.M.
That's perfect, and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing
you again. Goodbye, darling.
Oh, excuse the interruption. One of
my ex-wives.
Thank you, darling. But we're
still friends.
You're too sure of yourself, Nick.
I beg your pardon?
You're too sure of yourself. You
think you're Mr. Man of
Mystery. Suppose I told
you that right now you're
involved in the biggest
deal of your life, and
that ex-wife of yours
is the buyer.
I'd say you have a fantastic
imagination.
And if I also told you that just for laughs
I've already copped the goods?
Yeah, preposterous.
Even if such a thing were true, you wouldn't
tell me about it.
Sure I would, to prove to you
what an artist I really am.
Ah, magnificent. A truly fantastic bluffer.
Really, Al, we've got to play poker.
You're right, Nick. It was a put-off. I mean, how could I con you?
I mean, you'd spot me coming a mile away, wouldn't you?
Thank you, Al, I take that as a compliment.
Good.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
I've got to be up by dawn, and I'm
gonna swim in that private ocean that
you call a pool.
This is yours, isn't it?
This was pressing.
Not bad, huh?
Told you he couldn't be trusted.
Oh, I've got to play poker with that man.
Of course, if he ever did such a thing
again, I'd kill him.
What if he has stolen something of value?
He has stolen nothing. Don't be foolish, my darling.
Any luck?
Yeah. Get downstairs
and find out which room Grobo
goes into, and watch out for yourself, will you, Ed?
- Right.
(upbeat music)
- Mr. Grobo, excuse me, sir.
For your signature, so
that I can mail them early.
- All right.
- Thank you, good night, sir.
- Good night.
(slapping)
- But he must have gone
through all that for some reason.
- Okay, at least I know the
pallium is somewhere in the study.
Now you go back in your
room, I'm going to work.
- Good luck, Mr. Mundy.
- Thanks, Ed.

- Well, well, what have we here?
- I guess you're looking
for some sort of explanation.
- To tell the truth, Al, no.
You know, I'm really surprised at you, Al.
A professional of your stature.
- Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
- Yes, but the question is why?
Why?
You're too intelligent
for nonsense like this.
- To prove that I could do it.
Now I know that's a poor
cop out to lead with your ego.
But you're the man, the man.
I wanted to see if I could top you.
- I gave you credit for more class, Al.
This is hardly proper behavior for a guest.
- Yeah, well, I apologize
if that means anything.
- It doesn't.
You see, I'm still old-fashioned enough
to believe in honor among thieves.
- You're going to take
away my visitor's permit?
- No, no, no, I made a deal
and I want the whole bar.
- George, you will escort Mr. Mundy to his
room where he will remain incommunicado
until the diamond arrives
tomorrow afternoon.
Take him away.
Now wait, wait.
Wait a moment.
Empty his pockets.
He's welted.
Says we have to protect Mr. Mondi against
himself until our deal is consummated.
You see, we don't want him
to use anything that can be
turned into a lockpick or in
any way used for burglary.
He may return his handkerchief.
- I get the feeling you don't trust me.
- You've got a lot of style.
(door thuds)
(knocking)
- Oh, George, yes?
- Keep your door locked.
Mr. Mondi's not to leave his room.
Mr. Grobo's orders.
- Yes, of course.
- You're a good boy and you
come out of this smelling like a Rose.
- And if I don't, I come
out holding one, right?
- You got it, Sonny.
- We're in trouble.
They stole my wallet
with the testing card in it.
- Did they know about the card?
- No, they think I was
trying to steal the money.
But the point is, without that
card, I don't know what I'm
looking for, whether it's
an ashtray, a statue, a vase.
- And this place is a museum of things.
- Not this place.
That study.
That's a museum of things.
I know it's in there.
Now, Noah said something about heat.
Pallium expands with heat.
110 degrees.
If we could apply heat.
Do they have a central heating system here?
- Yes, a steady 74 degrees.
- Now, that's not enough.
If I could get into Grobo's
room and close the vent,
could you rewire the central
heating unit to stay on wide open?
- Of course.
That, as you might say,
Mr. Mundy, is my bag.
All I have to do is jump to the thermostat.
- Oh.
Okay, Ed.
Do your thing.
- As soon as the household retires.
- In the meantime, uh... Oh, Ed.
(gentle music).
(gentle music)
- Grobo's making his cutter pretty thin.
- It'll be light in a couple of hours.
Those agents will be here by then.
- Come on, let's move.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music).
(dramatic music)
- Take the early shift on the gate.
- All right.
(dramatic music).
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
- George!
George!
George!
- Something the matter?
- Not if you like steam baths.
What's wrong with the furnace?
- I'll take him to it.
- Well, do that.
- Yes.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(bell ringing)
(dramatic music)
- They're okay, but they're early.
Mr. Grobo will see them in 10
minutes and they'll die for breakfast.
I gotta go, I got a job to take care of.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
- Ah, gentlemen, gentlemen.
- Mr. Grobo.
- You do, excuse me.
- Oh yes, permit me to apologize.
Something with the furnace, I don't know,
but I'm sure it will cool
down in a few moments.
No, I know you stay short, but
before returning to your own country
with what you came
for, I thought perhaps you
might enjoy a few of
our local delicacies.
- Thank you.
- Please, please.
- Mr. Grobo.
- Yes, darling.
Excuse me, and be seated, be seated.
Yes, what is it?
- I beg your pardon,
sir, but it's my mother.
I called her to see how she was,
after the operation, I mean,
and well, it's just horrible.
The nurse walked off and left her
all alone, and would it be all right,
I mean, I'll stay if you need me, of
course, but would it be possible for me
to have the rest of the day
off, and I'll be back Monday?
- But of course, darling,
don't give it another thought.
Here, take my car.
- Thank you, sir, thank you very much.
- All right, darling, all right.
Well, I hired the girl because
she's a hard worker, obviously.
(laughing)
- Of course.
(laughing)
- Bon appetit.
(gentle music)
(music)
(upbeat music)
(tense music)
(tense music)
- It was excellent, we thank you.
- Well, at least we finished
breakfast under bearable conditions.
It must have been 95 in here.
- 95?
- Mm.
- Well, there isn't sufficient
heat to affect the compound, is it?
- No, it would take at least another
10 or 15 degrees to cause any change.
- Change?
What sort of change?
- Heat creates a dilation
in the palliant molecules.
They expand geometrically,
doubling, even tripling their size.
It depends on the amount of heat.
- Excuse me.
(tense music)
- Are you all right?
- I didn't know you cared.
- Oh, I'm all packed.
- Not quite, one more
thing goes in your luggage.
They won't be searching you.
- Okay.
What's the matter?
- Oh, baby.
- What are you doing?
(whimpering)
- Get your hands off me!
- He seemed so polite and respectful.
The only time I spoke to him
was when I took him to his room.
I never dreamed.
And then he forced his way into
my room and dragged me in here,
and then he grabbed me and he kissed
me, and oh, it was awful, Mr. Grobo.
- Yes, I know, darling, I know, I know.
(whimpering)
- Listen, you don't exactly send
shivers up and down my spine, either.
- Don't worry, darling, you're
just going home to mother.
- Mother?
That's not a bad idea.
You know, you got a lot of hangups.
- Oh, please don't insult my intelligence.
He has no great passion for you, darling.
Mr. Mundy's a thief, and he
was using you to camouflage
his crime, for which he
will be justly punished.
Go on, darling, go on.
George, Mr. Mundy is no ordinary thief.
He might even be working
for some government agency.
I would like him removed from my hair.
Permanently.
(dramatic music)
- Don't get cute, Sonny.
We don't want to die with a broken arm.
- Yeah, amongst other things.
(grunting)
- Uh-oh, through playing.
- Hey, that was great.
Get the sheets off the bed.
- You can't imagine how horrible I
felt letting him catch you like that.
- I'm so stupid.
- I thought you put on a pretty good act.
If you were an actress, you'd
have an Oscar on your mantle.
Now you'll have to settle for me.
- I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time.
I really botched it beautifully.
Right now, Grobo's giving
the paleum to those agents.
- Yeah, but not all of it.
I got a piece of it in my pocket.
Now look, I'm gonna split out the back.
I've gotta make it to the garage.
You go out the front, and in three minutes,
be cruising down the
driveway in your car, okay?
- Right.
(laughing)
- Well, gentlemen, any time
I can be of service to you.
If the price is right, of course.
- Of course.
- Goodbye. - Pleasure.
- Thank you, goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Mr. Grobo.
- Mundy?
He took me.
Man, he's fast.
I never even saw the punch.
(phone ringing)
- Main gate.
Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Grobo.
Yes, sir, every vehicle going through.
No, sir, he sure won't.
Sorry, sir, a little problem.
We gotta search the car.
- We were guests of Mr. Grobo.
- Nothing personal.
We gotta find a guy.
(engine rumbling)
- The Butler slipped his leash.
- Now they're gonna wanna
stop us and search the car.
How are we gonna get through?
- Well, they'll only search it once.
They won't search it twice.
Look, Ed, I know you've got
a lot of emotional hangups,
but for the sake of patriotism,
can you come on sexy?
- Sexy?
- Yeah, I want you to turn on.
Come on strong.
Pull out all the stops with
those guards at the gate.
- Oh, well, I don't think I could.
- Look, you've got to try it.
You see that button?
That's a trunk release.
After they've searched the
car, try and hit that button.
(woman moaning)
(dramatic music)
- Sorry, Miss Hopkins, we
gotta look through your car.
Orders from the house.
- Anything you say, sugar.
- Would you mind opening the trunk?
(door opening)
- Your name's Sam, isn't it?
- Yeah, that's right.
- Tell me, Sam, are you married?
- Who, me?
Nah, not me.
- Oh, really?
How nice.
I never noticed before what
enormous shoulders you have.
And blue eyes.
I adore blue eyes.
What do you boys do
when you're not working?
And if the answer is nothing in
particular, I can suggest something.
- I'm sorry we held you up, Miss Hopkins.
You can go now.
- But I'll be back.
- Whatever you say, Miss Hopkins.
- Bye, boys.
(car engine roaring)
- What is it, Miss Hopkins?
- Look.
- Oh, your heel.
- And it's all your
fault, you naughty boys.
It must be out there in the dirt somewhere.
(upbeat music)
- Oh no, here it is.
Oh, I'm sorry I caused you any trouble.
- No trouble at all.
We enjoyed it.
(car engine roaring)
- He wasn't in either car, you're sure?
Yes, yes, keep checking.
Well, have you found him?
- He's not in the house.
- Not in the house?
- I'll check the front gate.
- I already have, he didn't pass through.
- He must be still in the grounds.
- Search the grounds, but I don't
think you are going to find Mr. Mundy.
- He can't have gotten
away, he's not that clever.
- No, he didn't seem to be the deal.
And that's the delicious part.
You see, he led me to underestimate him.
I've been beaten at my own game.
- Game?
- It's called ego.
I'm afraid Mr. Mundy has beaten me.
This time.
(upbeat music)
(car engine roaring)
- Looking for a lift?
Yes, we were.
But I think that's going
to be your problem now.
- Hold it.
- Well, just in the Nick of time, daddy.
- I told you I'd be around,
I'm sorry it took so long.
Lucky that radiator boiled over.
- Lucky?
You know, you hurt me to the quick,
Noah, and I've got a very tender quick.
- Oh, you did it, huh?
- That's right.
- What'd you do, drain
the water from the radiator?
- It wouldn't have made it to the gate.
- Then how'd you do it?
- It's a matter of chemistry, Noah.
You see, an automobile
radiator boils over at 230 degrees.
- I know.
- Well, you take a small piece
of pallium, put it into the radiator.
(upbeat music)
- I must say, I was almost as worried
about this as I was about the pallium.
- Noah, you've got to enjoy worrying.
You are one of the great worriers I know.
Believe me, you're
fantastic the way you worry.
- I'm also worried about Edwina Hopkins.
I talked to her on the phone last night.
She's determined to quit.
I couldn't talk her out of it.
Seems she's lost all her confidence.
- Well, not quite all of it.
I had a little chat with
her myself last night, and I
pointed out a few of the
areas that she had overlooked.
We could not have pulled
off the caper without her.
- Oh.
Oh.
- He's right, Mr. Bain.
And I want you to
know I feel terribly guilty.
- About what?
- All this time I've been
operating at half power.
I've never really given
you my full potential.
- I don't understand
what you're talking about.
- You see, she killed the guards.
She destroyed them.
- She also dug it.
- It was marvelous.
- And she wants more.
- You find a good thing,
you stick with it, right?
- So long, Noah.
Come on, Ed.
Wait a minute, where are you two going?
- Don't worry, Mr. Bain.
You'll get him back.
One of these days.
- I liked her better the other way.
- You would.
(dramatic music)
