...I have an asset

All right, come

Are you afraid like all the others

Matilda! Matilda!

She's here. Come in, come in

We have no time to waste

Isn't she beautiful?

Van Rutten's figure

That's your dressing room

Madame will assist you

If you'll be kind enough to excuse

for a moment

...I must prepare myself

Who's that Van Rutten, anyway?

Mademoiselle, don't you know it?

He's the greatest designer of Berlin

Oh, a designer!

He made this dress 25 years ago

for a princess, Royal Highness Alicia

But it was nonsense, poor thing,

he's still living in those days

Why? What happened?

Mademoiselle, the princess never saw

the dress. The design was...

...stolen by competitors in Paris

That broke his heart

And his mind. He doesn't care for

anything since then

Are you ready Matilda?

- Ready mademoiselle?

Maintenant chery!

Beautiful my child, beautiful!

Turn around my dear

Lovely as a painting! Let's see

The house is very crowded. Dear lady

I've never seen such distinguished...

...public. Matilda, your Excellency

in person just came in

- Really?

- Orchestra, orchestra!

Not so loud, it bothers your ears

Piansimo, piansimo

Me, oui chery, piansimo

Better, better

Thanks, thanks for your applause

Please, please, you're embarrassing

me your kindness is overwhelming

Your highness...

You're telling me. Is he dangerous?

No if you humour his game

but don't upset him

I feel honoured by your presence

Tonight I'll delight you with my

last creation...

...exquisite and unique. Ladies and

gentlemen, this gown was designed

...by Royal request, for our Royal

Highness, princess Alicia

our Highness had the honour to

wear it tonight

Your Excellency, I've never seen you

looking so well

Would you observe the delicacy of

this gown?

Turn my dear. Turn!

Thank you

Oh, gracious lady!

My poor captain

Your wife dragged you here

I presume

Madame, I would like to congratulate

you for that ingenious collar

That lace, that thin sleeve

Get closer, dear...

...so that Mrs. Winston can see you

Pardon me

How do you like my new model?

I guess you know what happened to...

...the last one. It's true,

do you know?

Matilda!

You've ruined me!

- Je ne sais pas que tu fais!

Charles, open the door!

No, no, wait a minute sir

Van Rutten, please!

You, you are the spy!

No, no, take it easy!

Easy? You think it's easy to

steal my ideas, is that why you're...

...here? You worked for them

They want to destroy me!

You'll never leave this room alive

Just a moment sir, you got me wrong

I, I...

Who is that?

No, I don't know

Don't lie!

Well, is the man who send me here

Your competitor, Colvert

Yes, Corvert, that's who it was

Colvert, Colvert!

Help me get out of this

This time I'll kill you!

Take this!

Quick, to Scotland Yard!

Didn't you hear me?

What do you want? Let me out!

Let me out! Help me...!

Calm down lady. Let's go

That door doesn't open

Miss Carpenter

How do you know my name?

I know everything. You were a dancer

and now you work for the Police

My name is Barret, H. A. Barret

working in the force for 29 years

Why didn't you tell me before?

I wanted to make sure you could take

what happened

That man almost killed me!

Do you think I didn't see it all?

Didn't I show up when you needed me?

What happened to that

horrible man?

He landed right in my arms and now

he's with an officer at the corner

He's crazy!

Don't worry. Take a good rest and

you'll be ready for the next one

I hope you're right

But if you want to take care of

yourself Miss Carpenter...

...here is your toy

Here is yours

Thank you

That's all right

What do you mean she's disappeared?

Like I told you. I went back to the

Palladium but she doesn't work there

Didn't you find out where she went?

I got the number of her flat but

her landlady told me she left...

...two days ago taking everything

Nobody knows where she is

Maybe the poet killer got the girl

She's one girl that can take care of

herself. She wanted a chance before

and now...

Are you coming? We shouldn't be late

Keep searching. Find that American

girl and bring her here in person

Are you on International

affairs now?

You didn't hear her voice. I want to

see the girl who belongs to

Now we come to article 9

- It will be very interesting to have

...you in the Board of directors

- I like the idea. It's quite a...

...departure for an old banker

- Your investment is safe

The Club will be the best,

the most spectacular of all London

As I was saying, gentleman,

now we come to article 9, it's...

Oh, it's 9!

That reminds me. You'll have to

excuse me, I have an obligation

Good night Julian

Mr. Fleming, I'm not finished yet

Mr. Willes will ear you out,

he's in charge. Good night

Good night. Well, article 9

- I beg your pardon Sir Charles, the add

- Excuse me sir. Yes, Maxwell?

- It must be in before 11

- Aristocratic home offers unusual

opportunity for attractive woman...

18 Kenilworth Square

Send it Maxwell, will you?

I'm sorry, domestic crisis, we've

lost 3 girls in the last 6 months

...and all without notice.

It's a pain, please go on

- Yes, as I said now we come to

article 9

- For a young woman, attractive...

...unattached

- More to the point, isn't Maxwell?

Turn around, very nice

I think you'll make a satisfactory

maid

Maid? It says here, unusual

opportunity for woman without...

I'm sorry I'm not interested

Your add was in the personal column

not in jobs

How odd, there must have been an

error, you're not married?

No

You have no steady male friend?

No, not even an unsteady one

Perhaps this job may be routine

I would say it has interesting...

...possibilities for anyone like you

- The girls that were here before all...

...went to much better...

- Maria take care of your business

But she's right about the girls

They're all done very well

I see. Well, if there is

really a chance for advances...

Would you like to see my references?

I'm not interested in references as

much as in character

I like your personality

I can see that sir...

Maxwell, Leo Maxwell. But in front

of the others you must call me sir

Yes sir

Maria, take her to her room

and inform her about her duties

Yes sir

What's new besides walking

with that lady dog?

The lady's butler has ideas

I don't blame him but

I would smash his nose

I don't mean that, he hasn't held

my hand yet but he picks at me

What's a six letter word meaning

ancient tyrant

I don't know but I have something

I should tell

To the chief? Let's go for it

Would you watch Cesar for me?

The things I do for the force

Cesar! That's it

Scotland Yard? Extension 5

Inspector Temple please,

...Sandra Carpenter calling in

Yes? Miss Carpenter?

Put her on. Yes, Miss Carpenter

I think I run into plenty of something

Three girls were here before me who

...left for parts unknown

Did you get their names?

I didn't want to ask questions

too fast

Hold on a minute. Send a man

to 18 Kelinwoth Square
