Look, Charlie, look. Istanbul!
What do you expect in Turkey?
Pittsburgh?
Look, Charlie, it says: "Istanbul
is the threshold of Asia..."
"the colorful city of 444 mosques."
- Huh?
- 444 mosques.
You want to take me to them.
You? Who needs you?
Listen, I can go alone
anytime I want to and...
- Maybe not alone, you know?
- All right! All right!
I mean there's lots of interesting
people one can meet while traveling.
People interested in
culture and things.
Can I trouble you, Mr. Brennan?
No trouble, but no
smoking, it says there.
We're going down.
Oh, oh! Sure. Well, this is sort of
like coming home for you, isn't it?
Sort of like.
Scandinavian Airlines System,
Flight 100...
from Karachi, Tehran, Damascus and
Beirut, arriving at the gate five.
Welcome to Istanbul.
I am the guide.
You're the guide?
Istanbul is all right.
- Excuse me. Mr. Brennan?
- Right.
Would you step this way, please?
May I have my passport, please?
Brennan.
Thank you.
Ah most welcome, Brennan.
You are not exactly unexpected.
Nice to be remembered.
You have no idea what a pleasure
it is to see you again.
How often I have
wondered about you.
- May I?
- Please.
Five years is a long time
to stay away.
When one has a particular attachment.
The war had something
to do with that.
Korea.
James Brennan,
Captain U.S. Air Force...
Devastation Swan Cico power plant...
Distinguished Service Cross.
Honorable discharge.
It's a very fine record, Brennan.
I congratulate you.
And now you've given up flying?
No, except it's a little difficult
without an airplane.
The one I had got lost.
Perfectly. Your papers, please.
Thank you.
And the purpose of your visit?
Travel through here to Iran,
on business.
I heard the oil
companies need pilots.
You are passing through
Istanbul on your way to Iran.
Most interesting.
Inspector, you're such
a suspicious type.
You know that's the kind of thing
that breaks up old friendships.
Oh, I hope not.
But you know I must ask myself
why you have come back.
A sentimental journey perhaps?
Pilgrimage to the scene
of the former happiness?
But that would only
reopen an old wound.
So I must feel that it is not
sentiment that brought you back...
But diamonds.
I wish I could help you
to find them...
But I never did know what
you were talking about...
Thanks.
It's been delightful
chatting about old times.
There reminds for me to hope that
we all enjoy your stay in Istanbul.
Thanks.
And if there is anything that I can
do for you at all, inspector...
You'll be sure and let
me know, won't you?
I will be at the same hotel.
Have a pleasant visit.
- Mr. Brennan.
- Kazim, good to see you.
Good to see you.
It has been a long time.
Yep. I'd like my old room, eh?
Ah yes, I remember. 424.
I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan,
your 424 has already been taken.
An American couple, just arrived.
That wouldn't be Mr. and
Mrs. Boyle, would it?
- Yes, you know them?
- Mmm.
If you wish, I will move you in
when they check out.
Good.
In the meanwhile, I will put
you next door, room 422.
Take it up.
Bonjour, monsieur.
This way, please.
Do you wish anything, sir?
- Yeah, two vodka gimlets.
- Two?
Thanks for James Brennan.
Thank you, Istanbul,
thank you, beautiful night.
And thank you, whatever
you are called.
That sounds just a little
bit too much like goodbye.
I didn't mean it. Really I didn't.
What shall I say to
remove the spell?
Being In Turkish, it won't not work.
- Turkish?
- Yes.
That sounds like wonderful magic.
What does it mean?
The truth comes from the heart
not the tongue.
I like that.
Did you keep make it up?
Of course.
Know what we used to say in Munich...
when we feel the way I do now?
Tell me.
I love you.
When I fall in love
it will be forever.
Or I'll never.
Falling in love with me.
In a restless world like this
love ends before starting
many moonlight kisses.
They look cool
in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart
it will be completely.
Or I'll never give.
My Heart.
And the moment I can fell that
you feel that way too
is when I fall in love.
With you.
And the moment I can fell that
you feel that way too
is when I fall in love.
With you.
Danny!
You old spell-binder.
If I could sing like that, man,
I wouldn't do anything else.
Come on. Sit down. Have a drink.
No Thank you. Like the cop
says "not when I'm on duty."
That's a good boy.
How is going with you, Miss Bauer?
Thank you. Danny.
What a lovely song.
You've never sang it
more beautifully.
You should know. You've heard it
But today was special.
Let's say the way you
heard it so special.
Get him. One month in Turkey and he's
already giving with the proverbs.
What's with you?
Flying dynamite to the island...
Or fertilizer to Italy?
I'll fly anything, anytime.
You know me.
However, I am temporarily retired.
And I feel temporarily
unnecessary.
No, Danny, please.
Please, nothing.
I can't afford you two.
- What?
- Translation please.
Every time I come over here and
look into her love-laden eyes...
I start moping about
my girlfriend in New York.
Do you know how much it cost
to call New York from Turkey?
I got to go up with the fellows who
make the music. I'll see you later.
- Nice guy. First class.
- Mm-hmm.
It's my ship, eh?
Getting ready to sail.
No regrets?
It's going away.
I don't want to go.
Are you going home?
Home is not the place
where you were born...
It's where you are happy.
There she goes.
decks when she came in...
wondering whether
Istanbul would like me.
Where were you two weeks ago?
Flying in a load of
machinery from England.
Flying in. Flying out.
You like that, do you?
The Army taught me how.
I haven't found anything
I like to do better..
Besides, I've got my own plane.
It's a lot nice, not getting shot at.
Jim, did you say goodbye
to a girl in England?
A girl? Uh-hm.
Safety of numbers, I always figured.
The important thing though is that...
Up till now there has never been
When I think of the vacations
I have wasted elsewhere!
Italy last year.
And North Africa the year before.
Don't think of yesterday.
Today is the important thing.
3.30! And I've been
here since half past 2.
Where is he?
When I finally find
him, he's having lunch.
He said he'd be right over.
Hi, Florian. What's wrong?
Ali said it was urgent.
At 2:
30, I came here to ask him totake a load of machinery to Cairo.
It's already loaded in your plane.
Now it's most important.
Ali, that's all?
interrupting my lunch.
But Jim, I thought I
you wanted the business.
You mean to say
you're not interested?
- No, sorry.
- But it means a tidy sum.
Yeah, I know but I'm not
taking any jobs right now.
My firm has given you a
lot of business, Brennan.
Sure, I'm appreciate that but I'm
