I was broke.
So when I got out, I had nothin' else to do
but look around and ask questions.
- Arkadin-he had a villa near Monte Carlo...
a castle in Spain,
one of the biggest yachts in the world...
But who he really was
and where all that dough came from...
nobody could tell me.
Well, Mily wasn't waiting for me
at the prison gates...
but I traced her down to Juan-les-Pins...
- We got paid to let her off for that party.
- Which party?
The party, naturally.
This season a party means just one thing -
Gregory Arkadin.
So Mily'd got next to Arkadin already.
She was a birdbrain,
but at least she had something to go on-
that- that other name
So, you've been to Arkadin's party.
How'd you make out?
Well, there must have been 50 other girls
out there on that boat.
Yeah. I hear he's sailing it
back to Spain.
And next week he's giving
a big society ball.
Why don't you try to get yourself invited?
And then we can -
To a society ball?
- On the yacht, stupid.
- All right.
Look, try and go on that cruise
he's taking.
- All right.
- Then maybe, if you can get close to him,
we can sort of throw that other name at him.
- That's the trouble.
- You forgot it, you mean?
Well, you see,
I - I couldn't hear very well.
Oh.
what's-his-name - Bracco - died.
So I couldn't very well
ask him to repeat it.
Okay. Okay.
- Now, look. You tell Mr. Arkadin -
- Shh.
That you have a friend
who knows somebody named Bracco.
- Mm-hmm.
- Don't use my name.
Oh, Guy, be careful.
You just tell him that if he's interested,
a meeting can be arranged.
Look, it's different for me.
I'm a girl, and he's a man.
- Will you please stop -
- Well, I can handle him!
I hope so!
There must be an opening
in some company
that Arkadin happens to control.
Stranger things than that
have happened in big business.
Sure. Come to think of it,
who knows how Mr. Arkadin got started?
Started? I didn't even know
what we were really after.
Some of that Arkadin money,
of course, but how?
Shake him down? What about?
Some name a guy whispered to Mily
that Mily'd forgotten?
I not only knew it was crazy,
but the closest I could even get to Arkadin...
was that yacht of his.
The Raina, it was called,
after his daughter.
She's quite some dame, Raina.
- A real looker.
- With her money, she wouldn't need to be.
No, Arkadin thinks everybody's
after her for his dough.
- All I wanted was to use her to get close to him.
That is, at first.
- And now it's love.
