Well, yes, of course I realize that what you say is true.

- Something must be done about it.

- Well, of course it must, yes, yes.

- I'm talking about killing Bert, then.

- Hmm?

You ever killed a man, Alex?

What?

Have you...

Ever...

Killed a man before, Alex?

Well, no, of course I have not.

What do you mean?

Well, it looks like somebody

is going to have to be killed.

And, I'm afraid your the one

that's going to have to do it.

David, come in.

Hello Elliot.

How'd it go?

It took some doing to get her down to size.

But it does work?

It works.

This is a downside more lethal than a bomb.

What's its range?

Twenty feet.

Well, here are the specifications of the original model.

Right.

You switch it on here and this is a timing device.

You set it like an alarm clock.

Though, be careful how you handle it.

Right, there's no, uh...

- Markings or identification on it.

- No.

I assembled it myself.

You did very good, David.

Thank you.

I don't imagine you need that to kill rats with.

Oh no. Can I get you a drink?

Yes.

No, no, no, it's a...

Simple matter of bartering.

Boys in the middle east are screaming

for something they can trade for some oil.

That may be just the device to do it.

Scotch alright?

Yes, please.

I'll have your...

Fee sent to the...

- Usual address in Switzerland.

- Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, David do you have a minute? I would

like to talk to you about something.

Yeah, what?

I'm in a...

Perhaps, I should say, we are in a little trouble.

The little organization we've built together

over the past few years is about to crumble.

The little group.

People like yourselves, uh...

Have given us valuable information. I want to thank

you and do everything I that possibly can to

protect you.

There's a weak link in the organization,

and I'm afraid it's about to break.

A man...

Who I thought I could trust

because he has too much to lose

now knows everything there is to know about you, me...

The organization, E.D.C., the whole works.

Well, what does he want? Money?

No, if it were just money we could take care of that.

No, I'm afraid he's been...

Smitten by...

Moral conscience.

Do I know him?

I don't know. Alex Hellman.

No.

Or an office?

You see, that's why I thought I had it sewed up.

Well, now he's begun to drink.

He's sick, he's frightened. I'm afraid

he's going to blow the whole scene.

So...

I'm afraid we're going to have to get rid of him.

Of course, as we know, there's a morality of business.

Killing a man.

Something else.

But, there's no other way that I can think

of that you can stop a man from talking.
