He always gets that way

after a couple of martinis.

It's a pleasure to welcome you

to Copenhagen.

I'm so sorry. I twisted my ankle.

- I'd better have a look at it.

- No, it's all right, really.

- Thank you so much.

- It was my pleasure.

Boulevard Greig. Number 14. Tonight.

A very pleasant hotel here.

- Mr. Helm?

- Yes.

I'm Freya. Welcome to Denmark, Mr. Helm.

You always greet people like this?

I'm Freya Carlson,

your Tourist Bureau contact.

These are for you.

Street maps, places of interest.

This is for you, too.

- What year was that?

- 1949.

- It's a very good year.

- I'm here to help you in any way I can.

Well, it's very nice of you.

- Is there anything you'd like me to do?

- Yes. A couple of things.

Yes, sir.

Would you mind

getting off my camera case, please?

- I'm sorry.

- That's fine. That's okay.

What about the arrangements

at Contini's chateau?

That's in the works. I'm expecting a call

from the chateau at 11:00.

I'm sorry about...

Welcome to Denmark.

It's some kind of hotel you got here.

Half a bottle is better than none.

It's open. Come in.

Yep.

You're early, Mr. Helm.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I was, Miss Lola Medina.

I underestimated you.

You know who I am.

I need your advice.

Advice?

Would you please change

the colour of the lights?

Turn down the colour of the lights?

- Turn the red one.

- The red one?

Mr. Helm, as a professional photographer...

which colour would be...

most appealing in this particular light?

That clashes with your eyes.

And I know your setup with Contini.

Would you turn on the blue light, please?

Blue light. Must be the second one.

Is this more interesting?

I also know you're off the team.

But I was on the team when

Operation Rainbow was being planned.

Would you put on the green light?

Operation Rainbow?

Operation Rainbow,

our code name for $1 billion...

What's your American word? Heist.

Heist?

- Would you change the light?

- Yes.

Yep.

I know what you're after...

and I like the way you're going about it.

- Thank you, Mr. Helm.

- It's all right.

Thank you.

I mean...

no, thanks. I mean, I don't use them.

Nobody's going to believe

this down at the office...

but I'm on a very tight schedule.

But I know where the gold is, Mr. Helm.

I'm not on that tight a schedule.

I love flexible men.

There's just two little words...

where it is...

how much?

I'm a gypsy, Mr. Helm.

My father was a gypsy.

And he taught us one thing:

Wise men enjoy pleasure...

before business.

I like your father's thinking.

I'm a wretched hostess, Mr. Helm.

I haven't offered you a thing.

I wouldn't say that.

What do you prefer?

To drink.

I've heard that you do...
