The Eiger Sanction Page #4

contact Mr. Dragon as soon as possible.

I'm sorry to drop it on

you like that, Jonathan.

Baby, I'm sorry.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

Sorry for this, Hemlock.

But twice a year, my blood

must be fully replaced.

With what?

You're very bitter

today, Dr. Hemlock.

(LAUGHING) A joke. Bitter Hemlock.

Listen, Dragon. I came

here for two reasons.

One, to tell you that

using that Jemima Brown

to steal my money

was low, even for you.

And second, to get my money

and tax statement back.

It will be returned to you.

- And the tax statement?

- That, too.

Well, then we have nothing

more to discuss, do we?

There is still the sanction on the

second man who killed Agent Wormwood.

I will give you another $20,000

for this second sanction.

Forget it. I'm back in retirement.

You are the only man who can do it.

You could train Pope. He'd

be ready, in about 40 years.

Would you leave Agent

Wormwood unrevenged?

Well, those are the breaks.

Did you know who Agent

Wormwood was, Dr. Hemlock?

Wormwood was Henri Baq.

Henri Baq?

Yes.

I thought he was retired

and living in Paris.

He approached C-2

and asked for work.

Apparently, he had

financial difficulties.

We tried to be helpful.

Unfortunately, it

turned out tragically.

Why wasn't I told

about this before?

We had reasons.

They did not concern you.

We preferred that you took the

sanction for your usual reasons,

greed and avarice.

- Henri Baq was my friend.

- Yes.

He saved my life once.

Yes.

Then why am I the only one who

can perform this sanction?

First, do you

accept the assignment?

Yes, I accept.

What we have is this.

The target is male.

He is an accomplished

mountain climber.

We learned this from

a note we intercepted.

Also, a witness said he limped.

Well, that's fine.

Now all I have to do is kill every

mountain climber with a sore foot.

Not quite.

Our man will be involved in a

climb in the Alps this summer.

You're getting warm now, Dragon.

That narrows it down to

three or four thousand men.

Fewer than that.

We know which mountain

he will climb.

And?

The Eiger.

North face, of course.

That is correct.

You are familiar with it?

You know I am.

I tried to climb it twice.

It tried to kill me twice.

Look, if the target's trying to

climb the north face of the Eiger,

chances are my work

could be done for me.

I cannot trust

to chance, Dr. Hemlock.

Now, the only climb planned for

the Eiger is a goodwill climb

with a team from Germany, Austria,

France and the United States.

Now, the target is

one of the other climbers,

the Frenchman, the German

or the Austrian.

We are continuing to work

to try to identify him.

Undoubtedly, we will have his name
