How about we work together again?

- Okay Leo, what's the job?

- The usual. Only more money.

- What's the catch?

- No catch.

- Who gets killed?

- Nobody. I'll take care of you.

- No catch and nobody gets killed?

- That's right.

I'd still like to know more about it.

Like who I would be working for.

Come here.

Check in at the Marski Hotel.

Tomorrow I'll show you a thing or two.

- Is it a deal?

- It's a deal.

- 467-553.

- But Harry could stay with us.

This place isn't as nice

as the Marski, baby.

Harry's got to have the best.

Nothing but the best.

Tell me something, Leo.

Where's Dr Kaarna?

I am Dr Kaarna.

Marski Hotel? Could I have

a single room for the night, please?

Dr Kaarna, I presume.

Hello? Finnair?

Do you speak English, please?

What time is the next plane to London?

- I had to send for you, Palmer.

- I noticed.

- Well, you wanted it this way.

- Did I?

I have the feeling

you don't like working for me.

You could be right, sir.

Nothing personal, of course.

Of course.

What's this for then?

Come visiting your friends?

The Finnish police are looking

for the man who killed Dr Kaarna.

As you were in his room last night,

I thought you might be able to help them.

- Of all the dirty trick s, Ross...

- What is it to be?

I demand to see my MP.

If the police do get hold

of you, you'll be off the

voting list for some time.

For England and for you, Colonel Ross,

I volunteer.

First get those stolen eggs back to

our research laboratory at Porton.

They're full of rather nasty viruses.

I swear by almighty God

to serve entirely and exclusively,

her Britannic Majesty, her Government

and her ministers and none other.

Sign the Official Secrets Act, will you?

Thank you, Mr Birkenshaw.

Now listen to me.

You are mixed up with

an organisation known as

the Crusade for Freedom.

It is financed by an oil millionaire

in Texas by the name of Midwinter.

Noboody knows any moroe Not oevvoen t oe C A

We did have a contact

who penetrated the organisation.

His name was Kaarna.

Kaarna?

Kaarna

He was to report to me with the eggs.

You will replace him.

- That sounds precarious.

- Does it?

Yes.

- I suppose you'll want this.

- Undoubtedly.

Now, your duties. You're to join

this organisation, to report direct to me.

I want a full L-141 on this.

Use the C-30 code.

Pull up at the next crossroads, will you?

You don't mind walking back, do you?

I've got a plane to catch.

What do you want?

Do I still get that C3 grade

and the 300 pounds?

Oh, that. We'll talk about that in London.

Here we are.

Take your right glove off.

Put your hand on the glass,

look in the lens.

Harry, meet the boss.

Someone has to be here
