Half Moon Street Page #6

-Twenty-one?

But he checked out

two hours ago, Madame Weller.

Thank you.

And Dr. Slaughter's article

will be published...

next month in ''The Spectator.''

Now, to the diary.

We've got two guest speakers

next week--

His Excellency

the Jordanian ambassador...

and Monsieur Poinson

of France...

who's going to talk about Chad.

Well, that about

wraps it up for now...

unless anybody's got

anything to add or raise.

Where's Dr. Slaughter's office?

Im afraid she's in

the conference room.

Thank you.

But you can't go in there.

I want a word

with Dr. Slaughter.

Its all right, Georgie.

Excuse me.

That's perfectly all right,

Lord Bulbeck.

-What the f*** is this?

-Temper, temper.

Let go of me, you creep!

Bonjour, Lord Bulbeck.

Ravi de vous voir, Excellence.

Why didn't you return my call?

Because I didn't

want to see you.

Why didn't you call me?

Geneva was so close.

Why didn't you come and see me?

I wanted to.

It just wasn't possible.

I know. ''Something came up.''

Well, same here. l got laid.

Well, Im not surprised.

You know what? It was fantastic.

In a bathroom being shaved

with people watching?

That really turns you on,

doesn't it?

Yes.

OK. Half Moon Street.

-I can't.

-Why not?

-Security.

-Bullshit.

So that's the famous

exercise bike.

Do you want me on the bicycle?

No.

In the bedroom.

Like lovers.

Its my birthday tomorrow.

I know. Virgo.

Let's celebrate. Right here.

Ill make dinner.

Ill even bake a cake.

I missed your birthday.

I think I should

be here for mine.

Im so glad

you finally came here.

This place is special.

You're special.

Got a nice one for you tomorrow.

He's been very generous

in the past.

Sorry, Captain.

I have plans of my own tomorrow.

Business or pleasure?

Its personal.

And it's none of

your business, is it?

It wouldn't take you long.

I said Im busy.

Too bad.

Im through, Twilley.

For good.

Hello?

Hello?

Damn.

Who is it?

Flowers for Dr. Slaughter.

Oh, great.

Well, surprise, surprise.

lf it isn't Sonny,

the terror of the squash courts.

Are you the date l turned down,

or is this just a coincidence?

I came to apologize.

I felt very badly, about

the way I was forced to leave--

not even saying good-bye.

It was a sudden

emergency, you know?

Ive been thinking about you

a great deal, Dr. Slaughter.

How did you know my real name?

How did you find me?

You're quite famous

in certain circles.

Oh, really? Well,

that's very nice, honey boy...

but Im very busy

right now, so...

thank you for the flowers

and the apologies...

and now you are on your way.

OK.

You're going to kill me,

aren't you?

-Morning.

-Good morning.

-Good flight?

-Fine, thanks.

The Jordanians will use

our helicopter, sir.

The others are coming by road.

-What about the neighbours?

-What neighbours?

No wonder we never get to see

your budget estimates.

What are you waiting for?

Yes, this place is perfect.

I take it they'll be making

their own radio arrangements?

There's a report just in.

They tried to kill Hafiz Ali...

as he was taking

the plane in Damascus.

-He's unhurt.

-Is he still coming?

-He's on his way.

-You think they're onto it?

Highly unlikely.

Just a coincidence?

I don't think so.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I suppose you'd want to watch.

-Leave the door open.

-Look.

You think I can get

through there?

Come on. Close the door.

OK.

Merde!

What dancer played across

from Judy Garland...

in ''For Me and My Gal''?

Karim.

What's the matter?

-He tried to kill me.

-There, there, there, there.

Who?

Police, please.

Hold the line

and Ill connect you.

Sit down.

Please.

I don't understand.

You were useful.

I was useful?

You sent that videotape?

Van Arkady thought

it might interest you.

Van Arkady?

When Van Arkady saw you

at the General's party...

he realized you were perfect.

Imagine the headlines--

''Lord Bulbeck found dead

in love nest with call girl.''

Oh, my God.

You're going to kill Sam.

Killing two birds

with one stone--

the man and his reputation.

What if I hadn't...worked out?

We would have found

someone else.

London is full

of people like you.

That's why it's so easy for us.

Us? Who's us?

The 5,000.

Big day tomorrow, sir.

Yes. Wish me luck.

-Good luck, sir.

-Thank you.

And...happy birthday, sir.

Well, thank you, Rex.

Let him in.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Sam, he's going to kill you!

Is she all right?

She's fine. Just fine.

-Was she involved?

-She didn't know a thing.

Where is Lord Bulbeck?

Outside.

He's perfectly all right.

Did he know about this?

You've been under surveillance--

both of you--for some time.

They're leaving the building.

Stand by with ambulance.

Lauren.

You all right?

I didn't know a thing...

till just now.

Phase 3 completed.

Stand by for further orders.

Im truly sorry.

Just stay still, miss.

You'll be all right.

Trying to save my life again?

You're incorrigible,

Dr. Slaughter.
