him to the wedding?

- Mm-hm.

Forgive me.

- What's your problem?-

- Have you got a cigarette, please?

Sure.

Gently. Gently.

Okay.

Gently.

What do you want?

Could you not

hazard a guess, sir?

My wallet's in my coat.

Pretty good going over.

10 or 12 bucks.

You take me for thief then?

You'll do.

Till one comes along.

Where are they, sir?

You tell me what,

I'll tell you where.

- The diamonds.

- What diamonds?

White, brilliant and most valuable.

Sorry, I'm fresh out.

I want those stones, sir.

I haven't got any.

You saw your friend Aziz

the other afternoon.

Sure I saw him.

He gave them to you then.

Very well, Mr. Brennan.

Until next time.

Now you told Officer Sarac here

you spent the entire evening...

- With Miss. Bauer.

- Correct.

The men that beat you up, Have

you never seen any of them before?

- Nope.

- And how do you account for it?

If I ever meet them again,

I'll make a point to inquire.

And when was the last time you

saw your friend Aziz Rachim?

Aziz? He's got nothing

to do with it.

Since we are all so

mystified, how can we be sure?

As a matter of fact, you saw

him just a few days ago.

- Then why ask?

- Policeman's habit.

Rachim has disappeared,

Mr. Brennan.

Not only from his

shop and apartment.

We've searched the city.

Impossible.

Not impossible, Mr. Brennan.

Merely an arresting coincidence.

I must tell you another?

One day you're low in funds.

The next, you plan to marry

this charming lady.

I do not think that you

would undertake such a step

if you were to

remain a poor man.

At the same time, we

are informed that

$200,000 worth of

stolen diamonds...

have been stuck smuggled into

Istanbul from Cairo.

In such a bracelet as yours, Miss.

Bauer.

It is yours, for the moment.

It would be a pity to

lock it up in a vault..

Wouldn't it? It is very beautiful.

Well, if we can't help you any

further, can we leave now?

Very well unless Officer Sarac

has further questions.

One moment, please.

Yes?

Thank you. This will interest you.

The merchant Rachim has been found.

He was discovered

in the harbor area,

dead of knife wounds.

You're free go.

You were wonderful. Perfect.

How did it happen? Why did those men

beat you up, Jim?

I think I have a line

on some diamonds.

- You haven't?

- I didn't steal them.

- I know you didn't but...

- Trust me.

Tell me something. How would you

like to be married in Paris?

I think Paris would

be very suitable.

In go upstairs and pack. Fast.

All right.

Jim, the diamonds. You're going to

give them back, aren't you?

Back? Back to whom? Aziz Or

the thugs who killed him?

The police?

The police? The police didn't

take a beating for them. I did.
