would dress you up in my designs.

Isa, I'd like to ask you if you know a quiet place

where I could stay for a couple of days.

Perhaps, yes.

Come on.

Paul and Olga are revolutionaries?

No! They're just a couple of thugs.

However, I haven't seen them for a year.

Well, if you happen to run into them again...

...tell them to get in touch on this number.

- Very well. - Thanks.

Surprised to see us?

- Not as much as you are!

It doesn't matter what colour the cat is

what matters is that you catch the mouse.

Is that philosophy? - No, just a thought of mine.

- There's several things I'm not clear about.

What the devil did you send me to Vienna for?

And I'm not sure whether you and Paul are real

revolutionaries or just a pair of troublemakers?

You're a special person.

- You're teasing me.

You should learn to relax. It's

essential in our line of work.

Paul is nearly a nervous wreck and

nerves can cause you to make errors.

Then, would you mind telling me why

he's so important to the organisation?

Patti! It's about time!

Where the hell have you been?

I should see you immediately, say about 6:15

- Where?

At nine over the place there's an

import-export company called "Enterprise Euro".

Don't you think afterwhat happened yesterday

it would be a little dangerous... - It's an order!

But... - There's going to be an important

meeting I'll be there myself. - I'll come.

One your right is a television camera.

Please look into it for identification.

I've got an appointment with Altman.

- He's armed. - He's got a fine eye!

Leave it with the others under the window.

Pig...

Where you going? - My car is getting towed

away. Open the doorfor me. - Be quick.

Excuse me...

I'm sorry that's my car. I didn't know,

I'm Italian. Can you let it go? - No.

One your right is a television camera.

Please look into it for identification.

Leave your guns under the window.

Hello?

- I want to see you immediately.

Who is it?

It's Patti. - Patti?

I got tied up in the office and...

- Never mind.

You won't believe this but it's

like a slaughter house in there.

Don't go through it on the phone!

I'll send someone to get you.

- I want to see you alone.

Where? - In 15 minutes

at Schonbrunn palace.

I'll be there.

- Very well.

What happened?

Everyone who was there was killed.

How did you escape?

- By pure chance.

I've never seen them before so I don't

know which organisation they belong to.

Alright, just do your best to find out.

Just continue like nothing happened.

Continue?

I don't understand you people.

The time has come to arrest them.

They should be questioned and made to talk.

Arrest them? Interrogate them?

You think a couple of thugs like Paul and

Olga can tell us what we want to know?

Fanatics like them are a dime a dozen.

If they didn't exist...

...we'd invent them

You religious? - Yes.

Do you believe in the devil?

- I don't know.

Well, millions of people do.

The concept of the devil is

inculcated on them by priests.

Do you know why? You see the idea is if the devil

didn't exist god wouldn't make any sense.

The more risks a nation runs...

...the stronger the power of

the police has to be.

And if no danger exists?

It doesn't matter, it's invented.

That is the most cynical thing I've ever heard.

You don't give a damn about human lives.

It's not cynical,

it's a price that has to be paid.

What's a matter? Something wrong?

No, I'm just beginning to understand.

What are you trying to prove?

If Altman was in contact with

Paul Henkel and Olga Kube...

...evidently he betrayed his superiors.

- Your mistaken.

He was in the secret services and

tried to use them.

Paul Henkel and Olga Kube

alone are just two of the tiny cogs...

...that make up the huge machine called terrorism.

It doesn't matterwhat a cog thinks about

what's important is that it turns.

You hampered him and for this

he wanted to eliminate you.

The information you've collected so far is worthless...

...or at the very least already known

by our Federal officers here.

I don't doubt yourword, I've discovered

nothing you don't know more fully.

However, I've reached a conclusion.

I'm certain that this terrorism has a mind.

Not just a man at the top but a central

headquarters that controls everything.

I want to find out if my intuition is correct or not.

Your asking me forfreedom to act on your own.

Do you want to stay in contact?

They're organising something important.

- You want to organise something more important?

Exactly.

Here, take this and hurry. We've got to be

in Milan before 10:00 tomorrow morning.

An interesting job?

- Yes.

What are we going to do?

- I'm not sure that your really one of us.

However your useful to us for the time being.

We are the true strength...

- Yes, but what are we doing here?

A bus. A bus full of important people...

...big cheeses

industrialists, financiers...

...the ones that govern the world.

And you know what we're going to do?

- No.

Here.

My bag! Stop!

Stop!

- Stop!

Run Olga, the police are here!

Hold it!

- Help!

Bastards!

- Hold still!

Get inside! Get in!

That little b*tch bit my hand!

Bastards!

- Inside! - No!

Come on.

That's our train.

Now we're f***ed!

Olga will talk.

We're without a car...

...without guns, without ammunition

and without cash.

Nobody can get us out of this sh*t?

I don't know. Perhaps...

Perhaps there is someone,

that is if he wants to.

From this moment on the train is mine.

You drive on until I tell you to stop.

Drop to the floor.

Don't do anything silly if you

don't want to get hurt.

Look ahead! You imbecile

Keep your mind on the job.

Eh... How's it going?

Well. And the hostages?

- Not too well, a lot of them are scared.

You can stop the train as soon

as it passes the station.

What you doing? Keep quiet

- Stop it...

...or I'll fill you with lead.

- Stay calm, have a smoke.

No trouble with these.

Scaring them is dangerous.

Walk!

Yes, we stopped it.

How?

- With the brakes!

They've hijacked the train.

- No one hijacks a train.

It's true. They're terrorists they

want to speak to the magistrate.

Block off the line.

Yes, it's all clear.

About a quarter of an hour ago four

terrorists took control of a train for Milan.

What do they want? - The release of

Olga Kube, a car, and a plane.

I thought Patti was in on this?

- Yes.

You must inform Milan to get ready.

I think we'll have to give in. - Very well.

Come down! Quick, move!

Hide between the bushes.

Move it, lads!

Hold you fire!

Can you hear me?

Don't play games with me I know

you can hear. Answer the phone.

- No reply?

- No. Respond!

Ah! I want to know who I'm speaking to.

Judge Ferri speaking. I want to know if there

are any injured amongst the hostages.

No, they're alright and they'll stay that

way as long as you follow our instructions.

We're forced to accept your requests.

The coach is ready.

As is the plane. But we're

seeking a pilot to volunteer.
