Oh, well then everything can be taken care of, right?

Is it really necessary?

Bob.

I wouldn't want one guy walking around who

knows things about you he's not supposed to know.

Certainly not four.

E.J.

Now, I know just about everything

there is to know about you.

If I stood in your way, would you...

Kill me?

I wouldn't think twice about it.

Elliot?

Elliot.

- Elliot, is that you?

- You're late again, Alex.

- It's getting to be habit.

- Yeah, I-I'm sorry.

- It was the traffic.

- I chatted with you some time ago.

- What traffic?

- I couldn't get a cab.

You weren't followed were you?

- No, I don't think so. I...

- What?

No, I'm sure I wasn't followed.

Yes, well something important has come up.

Important?

Critical, perhaps, is a better word.

It seems your, uh...

Dramatic career is about to

come to an untimely end, Alex.

- What are you talking about?

- What does the British government do to...

Top foreign office officials who take

money from big corporations like E.D.C.?

Well, I...

- Well, nobody knows. Only you and me.

- No, there's one other person that knows now.

One other person? Who?

Well, at least they won't shoot you, will they?

What are you talking about?

Perhaps a few years in jail, maybe.

- Now, look, is this some kind of a joke?

- No, I'm not joking, Alex.

I'm in this just as deeply as you are.

Well, what the hell are you talking about?

You must have said something to someone about that three

million dollars you passed to

the military junta in Morocco.

No, I didn't!

I mean, that deal was well and truly covered. I...

Yes.

- I was most, I was most careful.

- Yes, that was well and truly covered up.

- You weren't careful enough, Alex.

- What do you mean?

You ever go to the...

Director's club?

- Well, yes, yes of course I did.

- You know a masseur there named Bert?

Yes, I know Bert.

Yes, so do I. I've used him occasionally for

information I need about the executives.

I pay him a few pounds.

Well, he wants more than a few

pounds for this information.

He wants ten thousand pounds, Alex.

Bert, ten thousand? That's ridiculous.

Yes, Bert. Do you have ten thousand pounds?

Well, yes I do.

No, I mean do you have ten thousand pounds for

this month, ten thousand pounds for next month?

The month after and the month after that?

Because that's the way it'll be, Alex.

I don't understand.

He has some tapes.

Tapes?

Well, that's impossible.

I never said anything to anyone.

- What's the matter with you?

- Hmm?

- What, are you sick?

- No, no I just don't feel very well.

Now, represents a threat to us, Alex.

A very dangerous situation.

Now, we have a great deal at stake here.

You realize that, don't you?
