Billion Dollar Brain Page #3

They are his cousins.

Where is

the Crusade for Freedom Organisation?

We are

the Crusade for Freedom Organisation.

Is this all?

- Leo doesn't have any more cousins.

- I see.

What are we going to do?

- Can you handle one of these?

- Yes, I believe so.

Good! Good!

Come on.

Hey, Englishman!

- You got some Beatles records?

- No, no.

Take this.

What are we going to do?

We are going to get the particulars

of all the Russian units in Latvia.

You will photograph the documents for us and

then take them back to Leo.

- Where are they?

- Come with us.

- What's going on?

- Information on its way.

Just be patient. Trust me.

Hey, quick!

Thank you, Mr Concerto. It was

most kind of you to help us in this way.

- What's going on here?

- It has to look like a real robbery.

Very convincing.

- Leo?

- Yes, orders from my dear cousin.

Look out!

You can't catch me with that old trick.

You know where Shostakovich

wrote that symphony?

In the heart of Leningrad in 1941.

The Germans had cut them off.

They were all about to die.

It means a lot to us.

We don't forget those times so easily.

I warned you, English.

Come on. You need a drink!

Feeling better?

When I was a young man,

we had a song called

"Where Tears Fall A Rose Will Grow".

- Do you know that song?

- No.

If that was true,

Latvia would be a land full of roses.

You have no idea what things

happened here during the war.

Latvia had its share of war criminals.

Men who worked for the Nazi's,

even joined the SS

and massacred thousands

of their own countrymen.

Down the hatch!

We have dossiers

on hundreds of such Latvians.

You'd imagine people

guilty of such terror would

remain quiet. But no

these come as the worst troublemakers.

Your friend

is almost the last on our list.

He has more murders of children than

I would care to name on his conscience.

As I said, we don't forget so easily.

- What are you gonna do with him?

- Kill him.

Kill him slowly, just as he killed.

So... now it's your turn, English.

Your ticket to Helsinki.

Harry.

It's so good to have you back.

- Is Leo here?

- No.

He's buying presents

for his charming wife.

He's going to Texas tomorrow.

But I will still be here.

Hello.

Leo has to go to the castle

at five o'clock,

so he won't be back before six.

So you killed Kaarna.

Who ordered you to kill me? Leo?

I had to do it.

It was an order from The Brain.

- Get up.

- No.

- Get up!

- No!

- Get up!

- No!

Surprised to see me, Leo?

- Where's Anya? What have you done?

- Nothing.

It's you I'm interested in.

Just keep walking, Leo, and do as I say.

- Where are we going?

- We're going to talk to Texas.

Okay, Harry. How much do you want?

I'll give you a 100,000 dollars.

I'll give you 300.

- Keep talking.

- Shhh! Come here.

- How much do you want?

- Half.

- That's an awful lot of money.

- How much you got?

- Over a million dollars.

- From now on we're partners.

- Fifty-fifty right down the middle.

- There's just one other thing, Leo.

I'd like to stay alive long enough

to count it and spend it.

- Of course. We're partners, aren't we?

- Partners.

Just a minute... partner.

Orders for Piccolo:

Make more detailed report

death of agent Concerto.

Agent Concerto speaking.

I have managed to escape

from Red Police torturers.

Orders for Piccolo: Make detailed report

escape of agent Concerto.

Agent Concerto will proceed tomorrow

to headquarters.

Have you anything to report?

Nothing further to report.

So we're both going to Texas tomorrow.

Don't worry, Leo.

Remember, we're partners.

So, this is General Midwinter's idea

of a front garden?

- It's money. His money and our money.

- Yeah.

It does have a certain charm.

- We're here to see the General.

- Are you Newbigen?

Report to The Brain.

The General will see you later.

- Palmer?

- Yeah.

The General will see you here

at a quarter to twelve.

Stick around.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Brothers of Freedom.

We interrupt your merrymaking

to bring you General Midwinter himself.

Ladies and gentlemen, General Midwinter.

Friends, I don't aim to hold you long

from your party games.

I just want you

to bow your heads and join with me

in asking for His guidance.

O Lord, give us comfort.

Give us strength to fight

thy godless Communist foes

and smash them into the ground.

Make us courageous, Lord,

and purposeful

and let us never flinch from our duty.

Amen! Amen!

The Lord gave us strength,

the Lord gave us courage.

- The Lord said:
Use them!

- Amen!

The Lord said we must fight communism,

we must smite communism.

Why dost thou sit there,

said the Lord.

Rise up and spread my word.

Rise up and fight my fight.

Rise up and fight for what I say is right.

Amen.

O Lord, I humbly

accept the sword of leadership

which Thou hast thrust upon me.

- Hi, Harry. How do you like Texas?

- It's a bit noisy, General.

They told me you were reported dead.

Two days later back you come.

That's my kind, Harry.

Never say die.

- Did they torture you?

- A little. More mental than physical.

You're a fine sport. I'm proud of you.

Stick around.

You like the sound of gunfire?

Me, I love it!

Who are you fighting, General?

You don't know what's going on

in the world.

There's only one important issue today:

Communism.

That's the threat.

That's what's important.

You Europeans

don't know anything about it.

You've all been brainwashed,

just like those politicians in Washington.

Do you know that the

air on the east coast of

America is polluted by the Reds?

Oh, you might look at me,

but boy I tell you and I know

that the air in Texas

is the only wholesome air in this world.

I haven't been out of Texas in 25 years.

I don't like the air in other places.

It's amazing how we all survive.

Communism threatens Europe

and Europe has got to fight back.

Close rank s. Hit them hard.

Real hard. Understand me, boy?

- Sounds dangerous.

- It is dangerous.

Between 1945 and 1950 the Reds expanded

at a rate of 60 square miles per hour.

Retreat brings the war

closer, because finally

we're gonna hit communism.

I say the sooner the better.

I brought you here to show you something.

You come along with me.

This is where the money's made.

Right in this room.

I've got a three and one

half million ton fleet of

tankers on the water.

I've got refineries operating

on five continents.

I've got oil wells in Texas,

the Gulf of Mexico, South America

and in six Arab countries.

And this little machine

controls the whole thing.

Pretty impressive, huh?

But that's only five per cent

of what we've got going here.

- Where are we going?

- Into the 21 st century.

- This is how wars are gonna be fought.

- It's quite modern then?

Modern? It makes the Pentagon

look like a room in the Alamo.

I hope you can keep a secret.

My arm is long and my vengeance is total.

- I'll remember.

- You better.

General Midwinter.

- Say your name.

- Harry Palmer.

This here I'm gonna show you now
