What caused Mrs.
Allison to throw in
her lot with General Wu?
- That's pretty obvious.
- The bonds?
I don't think so.
- What do you care O'Hara?
All you want to do is get
your hands on the bonds.
- You don't know
that for a fact.
I have told you all this
in the hope that I
might persuade you
to join forces with me.
- I'm not interested.
- But you are still determined
to get your wife out of this?
- Yes.
- Then you really
don't have any choice
in the matter, do you?
(upbeat, bouncy
orchestral music)
- Oh Mr. Allison, I forgot.
Mr. O'Hara is waiting
for you upstairs.
(bouncy exotic music)
(slow jazz music)
- How's the head?
- Fine.
Headache's all gone.
Have you found her?
She's staying at the Astor Hotel
under her maiden name.
She lives alone.
She's had no contact
worth investigating
ever since her arrival.
The curios she bought from Macao
are now in the Manzi's
Storage Company
in Gilman Street.
- Do you think the
bonds might be there?
- Yours is as good
a guess as any.
- And this Chinese General
you said disappeared,
do you think he might be dead?
- If he is dead,
someone has killed him.
And that someone
has dealt himself
into our little game.
In any case, I refuse to believe
that she's playing a lone hand.
- Well now, what do you propose
we do about it?
Just sit and wait.
- We can't afford to do that.
We have to stir
things up a little.
And see what happens.
I want you to telephone her.
Insist on seeing her.
Make an appointment with her.
Tomorrow.
Away from her hotel.
- What's the idea?
- A shot in the dark.
She might panic.
And try to get to her people.
Or if not.
I could go over her room
while she's out
meeting with you.
Call her up.
It's only a five minute
walk to her hotel.
- Just one thing O'Hara.
I won't set her up
to be patsy for you
or anybody else.
Now you understand that?
- There's no need for
petty speeches, Allison.
We are going to work as a team
as long as it both suits us.
You know what I am.
I am a skip,
a lonely scavenger if you wish
like your wife and her friends.
You are an idealist.
The world that I
know, believe me,
that word is just as dirty.
My country has survived
for 4,000 years
until it was strangled
by idealists.
- Is he there?
- Yes.
Thank you very much
for the use of your--
- Hello?
I'd like to speak to Ms.
Marion Kramer, please.
Hello Marion, this is Stu.
I didn't think you knew
what happened to me.
- I just heard about
it from a friend.
No Stu, No.
It wouldn't do either
one of us any good.
I can't meet you.
It's out of the question.
(finger snapping)
All right, three o'clock.
I'll be there.
- So, you found her.
