Gentlemen? Gentlemen, it's quite true.The weather continues to defy nature.

Overnight the temperatureat the Arctic has risen 4.9F.

Gentlemen! Another five degrees

and Haifa Harbour is completely under water!

It's true. New York, San Francisco, NewOrleans, Marseilles - every port's in danger.

- Who is doing this? And why?- It's the work of madmen.

Mad, sane...

They're brilliant.

They're demonstrating thatthey can control the weather!

Turn wheat belts into deserts,put icebergs in the Mediterranean.

- Control the weather, you control the world.- What do they want?

- Why haven't they contacted us?- Oh, they will.

But we're not going to wait for them.We've just had our first break.

According to this dispatch I just received,our team of agents has them cornered!

At any second...

It was a trap.

We just lost another team of agents.

- They know every move we make!- They have a superb intelligence unit.

How can I find that laboratoryif I keep losing manpower?

- How about 0008?- Unfortunately he is not available.

- International narcotics.- Please. We can't use 0008.

They have a file on all our personnel. Wehave to recruit from outside the organisation.

Well,

ifyou'll write down the qualificationsyou believe necessary for the assignment,

our computer'll give us the ideal man.

Stand by computers.

Derek Flint! My country awarded himthe Croix de Guerre!

- Flint's wrong for this job.- Wasn't he under your command in the war?

- Forget it. He can't take orders.- Derek Flint! Three promotions in a month!

- And our Medal of Honor.- I said forget it!

Excellent chap, expert frogman.Name's Derek Flint.

We need a man who can follow regulations!We need a man who's disciplined!

Flint.

I don't care what these computers say.I know this man. He just...

Yes, sir?

Yeah? Well, uh...

Well, how did you know, sir?

Very well, sir.

Yes, sir. Well, of course,that's your privilege, sir.

Well, ifthat's your wish.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Very good, sir.

Very well, gentlemen, uh... Derek Flint.

Mr Cramden wants...

Mr Flint? General Hawkins.

Mr Cramden wants...

What do you mean, he said no? I sent you...

Yes, sir?

But I sent General Hawkins himself, sir.

Yes, sir. I'll contact Flint personally.

Yes, sir. It'll be a pleasure, sir.

Sir?

Flint...

Lower your hand slowly and smile.

- What?- If he senses hostility, he'll rip you apart.

Smile, sir.

Thank you, Caesar.

Well, sir, this is a surprise.

Let me take your hat and coat.

Perhaps nudes aren't your dish oftea.

Have a cigar, sir.

No, thank you.

Breakfast, sir?

- I had lunch two hours ago.- Oh, I must still be on Moscow time.

- Moscow? Business?- No. Ballet, sir.

- You travelled to Moscow to watch a ballet?- No, to teach.

- Do you mind ifwe talk while I shave?- After you.

- Flint, I'm here because...- You want something.

- Don't be clever. I came here on orders.- Bonjour, cheri.

Bonjour, baby.

- Maybe my office is a better place to talk...- I doubt it, sir.

Well, once you realise the importanceofthis project, I know you'll be interested...

You know the high regard I havefor you and your organisation.

- Thank you.- But I think your file on me needs updating.

You see, as of late my interestsare less governmental than personal.

All right for today?

Excellent, carissima.

Later.

Now, Flint, in the pastyou and I have had our differences of...

Well, discipline is a vital factor...

that every citizen has got...

Don't wave the flag in the bathroom.Just come to the point.

Excuse me.

Flint, the government needs you.

Yes, well, it's good to be wanted, sir.

This is the most important assignmentever offered!

I hope you find a good man for your project.

- Ohayo gozaimasu, Derek.- Ohayo gozaimasu, honey.

Man does not live by bread alone.

Later.

Now, Flint, every computer designated youthe best man for the job.

- That must have pleased you.- Look, I don't bear a grudge.

- I know we've had our disagreements...- Sir, you know it doesn't work between us.

Later, baby.

- Do you want a shave, sir?- Flint, the world's in trouble!

It usually is, but it managesto extricate itselfwithout my help.

You're still the same old selfish, arrogant...!

- Sir, you're getting edgy.- Don't tell me...!

Later!

Yeah?

But l...

Good evening, Monsieur Flint.

Paul, table number one.

- Thank you, Maurice.- The pleasure is mine, Monsieur Flint. Merci.

Stand back, folks. Please stand back.Give the man some air. Thank you very much.

Give me that candle.

Why would anyone want to kill Mr Cramden?

I think that dart was meant for me.

It seems I have ajobwhether I want one or not.

Gentlemen, the new head of ouroperations team, the man you selected,

Derek Flint.

Thank you, gentlemen.I accept this assignment.

Oh, I'm sorry about that crude incision, sir.

Thank you, gentlemen.We'll now have a private briefing.

I owe you my life.The medics said four more seconds...

- Three, sir.- Dammit, is there anything you don't know?

A great many things, sir.

Now, ifyou'll excuse me,I'll need a few hours to prepare.

It worries me when he stops his heart.It's over three hours, isn't it?

Yes, but it does relax him.

Must be a dangerous assignment.

Ladies.

Sakito?

You call Eddie and confirmour seats for the concert.

Gina?

Venison's almost ready to be hung.You'll take care of it?

Leslie.

- Call Freddie and postpone my fitting.- Till when?

- Wednesday will be all right.- Are you sure?

Of course.

- Your code book.- Ifyou don't mind, I'll use my own code.

- I'd rather you used this.- Mine's a mathematical progression.

- 40, 26, 36. It's based on...- I can imagine what it's based on.

Walther PPK with silencer.High velocity, extreme penetrating power.

Yes, it's a very fine weapon.

Tempered steel. Very effective at close range.

But I have no need for these. They're crude.

Dammit, these are the most...

Stopwatch, please.

When I nod, you start the stopwatch.

When I indicate "stop", stop.

This needle is dipped in curare.How long did it take?

Three tenths of a second.

Now,

this contains 65 weapons.

This has 82 different functions.83 ifyou wish to light a cigar.

Chemical analysis ofthat dart.

That's odd.

In addition to the poison,

there were traces of garlic,saffron and fennel on the feather.

- What proportions, sir?- Propor...? Here.

Marseilles. Bouillabaisse.

Huh?

Throughout the world in thepreparation of bouillabaisse,

the proportion of garlic to saffron and fennel

is two cloves of garlic to a pinchof saffron to a dash offennel.

Now, only in a certainsmall section of Marseilles

are these three condimentsprepared in these proportions.

Whoever handled that dart was inMarseilles within the last 24 hours.

Goodbye, sir.

Hold it, hold it.

- These are the men under your command.- I don't need anyone, sir.

- You said you'd join the team.- The team isn'tjoining me.
