should lie here.
Whatever the signora desires.
We salvaged the gondola, signora.
But alas, there is as yet
no sign of the gondolier.
Poor Angelo.
Poor Angelo's clothes
fit you perfectly.
A little tight, perhaps,
because you are more muscular.
I prefer that.
Go to the undertakers.
I want this gruesome thing removed
as soon as my guests
have paid their respects.
Well, come along, Piero.
Get on with it.
I hope you're not going
to take liberties.
Miss Winter?
Miss Winter,
I hardly recognized you.
- My congratulations.
- Lord Bostwick.
I came as soon as I received
your telegram announcing his death.
May I introduce an associate of mine,
Baron Muntzov.
Well, my dear young lady,
the press has once again shown itself
to be the conscience of the nation.
Your story will be syndicated
all over the world.
Come, we will go directly
to Spado's house,
and pay our respects
to the dead.
At Spado's house?
But his body is at the morgue.
As I so often find, my information
is more up-to-date than my reporters'.
Signora Spado's had the coffin
taken to her palazzo.
My lord. My lord.
I've just arrived from Berlin,
the news is grave.
Dragomiloff has gone
just in time.
Miss Winter, may I introduce
General von Pinck.
Collect the luggage
and bring Miss Winter.
The general and I will go on ahead.
We have important matters to discuss.
There's mobilization.
I must return tonight.
Will there be war?
Not yet, the kaiser's proposing
- Indeed.
- He goes to Ruthenia for the funeral,
and that's where
the conference will take place.
They will all be there:
The English king. Tsar Nicholas.
The president of France.
The Austrian emperor. The...
Spare me this catalog
of mediocrity.
All this may suit me very well.
Signora Spado, my greetings
and congratulations.
My colleague, General von Pinck.
My husband is away.
I had to act on his behalf.
It's hard to believe a beautiful lady
succeeds where many men failed.
onto the board.
Thank you, Lord Bostwick.
But I don't think it is suitable
for an Italian lady to
practice murder professionally.
I will be content with the reward
you have so kindly offered.
And you shall have it, dear lady.
So there he lies.
Poor lvan.
He was too young to see
the potentialities of his inheritance.
Requiescat in pace.
Ivan killed by a woman, that's droll.
I believe Spado's house
is quite beautiful.
As with so many things,
first impressions are the worst.
This way, signorina.
And so you see,
my dear signora,
this young lady has served
her purpose and must be disposed of.
Miss Winter, Muntzov has been
monopolizing you.
Signora Spado, this is Miss Winter,
whose commission you executed
on behalf of your husband.
If you'll excuse me, I'll make a room
ready for the discussion.
No, no, no.
This will do splendidly.
The presence of our ex-chairman
will be a spur to our deliberations.
You openly admit you are a member
of the Bureau?
A member?
Thanks to you and Signora Spado,
I am now the chairman.
What a journalist
you would have made.
In at the death of the old Bureau
and the birth of the new.
Unfortunately, you must also be
its first victim.
Dispose of her, Muntzov.
It's time you did something useful.
This way.
Take her below.
There are steps to the canal.
Don't make any false moves.
I'm a dangerous man.
Go to that wall, please,
Miss Winter.
the wall, my dear.
We Slavs are so temperamental.
Somehow, I don't feel like it
at all today.
So you're a coward as well
as a murderer.
I don't seem really to care
Keep quite still, Miss Winter.
It's best to make a clean job of it.
Ivan.
What on earth?
- I'm in mourning.
- For your lost principles, I presume?
You look like you're got up
to seduce an archbishop.
- Don't you like it?
- Oh, I'm turning in my grave.
Will you at least get rid
of that preposterous hat.
- How dare you!
- That's better.
At any rate, you played
your part admirably.
See what results the report
of my death produced.
- It's brought them here,
as I knew it would.
Now we see whether
I can learn more dead than alive.
But the coffin in the room upstairs,
who's in it?
The man you identified as me,
of course, her gondolier.
- Muntzov!
- Come on.
Muntzov, where are you?
- He'd be here.
The secret stairs from my apartments
lead down to that landing.
A girl, even Muntzov
couldn't fail.
He evidently did.
And the girl's hat.
- If he killed her, then...
- Then who killed him?
- I want to see inside that coffin.
- Oh, no.
- And why not, signora?
- You're not squeamish, surely?
Take off the lid.
- Please, don't disturb the dead.
- Be silent.
Replace the lid.
My apologies, signora.
You've done your job well.
Don't worry, signora.
He can't get away.
General, I will return to Germany.
Where will your headquarters be?
At my hunting lodge at Rothenburg.
The peace conference will take place
across the frontier in the Castle Minsk.
Convenient. I'll summon the Bureau
members to meet us at Rothenburg.
- But my staff will be there, officers.
- Of course, and they'll be very useful.
So goodbye, lvan.
You're going to miss
our greatest assignment of all.
At my commission,
the assassination of Europe.
They have come to take him away.
Make sure the screws are tight.
We'll have a glass of wine, and then
we can complete our business.
Of course, the reward.
I suppose it was rather tactless
of Cesare
to tell me so much about
your secret business.
Who can quarrel with
such an excellent result?
Surely it is worth more
than a mere 10,000 pounds?
Of course.
How much would you suggest?
Naturally, you would not like
your affairs made public.
Shall we say 100,000?
Oh, alas, signora,
we are not a rich organization.
But you have such great plans
now that I have given you control.
Surely that is worth
special consideration?
Indeed.
Von Pinck, see that signora gets the
most special consideration we offer.
Well done, Miss Winter.
On the spot as usual.
As Europe's heads of state travel
to Ruthenia for the funeral of its ruler,
the Archduke Ferdinand's tragic death
threatens to set Europe ablaze.
Throughout Germany
and the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
troops of the Grand Alliance are
moving toward the Ruthenian frontier.
In Russia, Tsar Nicholas assumes
personal command of his forces,
as his Balkan allies call impatiently
for action.
In the Republic of France, military
preparations are already afoot.
Great Britain puts her armed forces
in a state of instant readiness.
After the funeral, the heads of state
will proceed to the royal castle at Minsk.
Here, close to the Ruthenian border
with Germany.
Just across the valley at Rothenburg
is a German army...
...commanded by
General von Pinck.
- What do you make of it?
- The kaiser is at the conference.
