Mark my words, Francois.

Sinister forces are at work.

And this mad bomber

must be apprehended at all costs.

Make sure you issue

an all-points bulletin immediately.

- Yes, sir.

- What about my clothes?

Oh, Sergeant Chauvin

is rounding some up for you.

While you're waiting,

perhaps you'll sign the order...

to transport Jean Tournier

to prison.

Tournier the bank robber?

I shall be happy to sign that order.

Ah, it's life for you

this time, Tournier.

At last, we are rid of you.

I have to go to the toilet.

All right.

Thank you.

All right, Tournier.

That's long enough.

Now this is my plan.

Step number one:

I will recruit the world's greatest

criminal minds. Step number two:

I will build an organization

so sinister, so powerful...

by comparison, the Cosa Nostra

will seem like the Vienna Boys Choir.

- Here is the list.

- But half of these men are in prison.

- We'll get them out.

- Impossible.

I'll bet you 20 million francs

it isn't.

- Where would I get 20 million francs?

- I thought you'd ask that.

Step number three: Next Thursday

at precisely 2:
00 p.m...

you and six men will enter the main

branch of the Paris credit bank.

This afternoon, at approximately

five minutes to 5:00...

three men dressed in building

maintenance uniforms...

entered and robbed

the Paris credit bank.

The leader has been identified

as Jean Tournier.

How much did they get?

Millions. Here's the report.

All right. That will be all,

Francois. Thank you.

Twenty million francs.

And now, the next step.

Hugo Fassbender and his daughter

have been kidnapped.

- Professor Fassbender?

- Yes. Paris has a theory.

They're sending over their top man...

a Chief lnspector Clouseau.

He just sent this telegram. "Arrived

Gatwick Airport, B.R. 121, 12:38 p.m."

Yes? Who are you?

- Jarvis, sir.

- And what is it you do?

- I am the butler.

- Ah, the butler. Yes, yes.

Can you tell me where you were

on the night of the kidnapping?

- Asleep in my room, sir.

- Asleep in your room.

- Can you prove that?

- No.

Make a note of that,

Sergeant Yard.

Tell the staff to assemble

in the drawing room.

I will interview them

in a few moments.

Yes, sir.

- What was your name again?

- Jarvis.

Jarvis, that's right. Perhaps you'll be

kind enough to show me around the house.

Very good, sir.

I suggest we start

with the upstairs.

- This is the upstairs, sir.

- Yes, I know that.

This is a door.

Yes, that is a door.

- Yes, I know that.

- It's not locked, sir.

Obviously.

Stay where you are.

I prefer to handle this alone.

Is there anybody hiding there

in the dark?

Nothing like a good warm-up

when you're on a case, you know?

Tell me, which switch did you use
