When can my daughter and I leave?

When Clouseau is no more,

perhaps.

I have done

everything you asked.

You've done everything I've asked

so far...

but I have not asked everything.

What you mean is that you have

no intention of letting us go.

You plan to continue

your reign of terror...

whether Clouseau is eliminated

or not.

I must admit the thought

had occurred to me.

- You are mad.

- And you are redundant, Professor.

Redundant and fallacious.

Madness does not preclude achievement.

You cannot operate the machine

without me.

Not yet,

but when you have taught me.

And if I refuse to teach you?

Then I would have to take the matter up

with your charming daughter.

- What kind of a man are you?

- A madman.

- You said so yourself.

- Boss!

It's true.

- When?

- This morning, in his hotel room.

He's dead!

He's dead

in his hotel bedroom!

Hurray! I'm free!

Oh, I'm so happy, Professor.

I'm so...

Good day.

My name is Professor Guy Gabroir...

medieval castle authority

from Marseilles.

Tell me, do you have a room?

I do not know

what a "reum" is.

Ah! A room!

That is what I have

been saying, you idiot.

Room.

Does your dog bite?

Nice doggy.

I thought you said

your dog did not bite.

That is not my dog.

Anything I can get you, boss?

I can't stand it any longer.

Get me a dentist!

Dr. Shurtz lives here...

but he has gone fishing.

I don't know.

I will tell him.

Did I hear you say

a doctor lives here?

He's a doctor and a dentist.

He made mein teeth for me.

They want him up at the castle.

Up at the castle?

Where can I find him?

Dr. Shurtz has gone fishing.

- He probably won't be back until...

- Show me his zimmer.

- Hmm?

- His room!

Hello!

It's Dr. Shurtz

from the village, you know.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

- Dr. Shurtz is here.

- Where?

Ah, here, Doctor.

Please hurry.

I am in agony.

All will be well soon.

- Did you hurt yourself?

- Yes.

The burn.

I can set it later.

- Please hurry.

- First of all, I will need...

some hot water and towels.

Get some hot water, Harry,

and lock the door.

- I don't want to be disturbed.

- And lock the door, Harry.

He does not wish

to be disturbed, you know.

Please, Doctor, hurry.

I can't stand the pain.

Yes. Now, then let me see.

- Ow.

- What?

- My eye.

- I thought it was your tooth.

- But it is my tooth.

- I wish you would make your mind up.

I don't normally make castle calls

in the middle of the night.

Doctor.

Wait while l...

Yes, that's...

There it is.

Now, open wide, please.

Now, let me see.

Tell me when this hurts.

Is it that one?

Is it that one?

Ah, there is the naughty one.

- Are you going to pull it?

- Pull it?

Yes, of course I will pull it.

Please give me something

to put me out.

Put you out?

Yes. Here, first you must wear...

this special anesthetic

cotton wool, you know.

Wear it over the eyes.

On no account look out from under it.

That will ruin the whole effect

of the anesthetic on the eyes.

- You want me to hold it like that?

- Hold it like that on the eyes...

while I get some...

Please hurry, Doctor.

I can't stand the pain.

Yes. Coming soon.

What are you doing?

Just rearranging the furniture...

in order to give you

the full effect of the anesthetic.

Doctor, I'm in agony!

Not for much longer.

That was hell down there.

What's wrong?

Whoever built this house

put the stairs in the wrong place.

Do you mean

you fell down the stairs?

I was preoccupied

with the anesthetic, you know.

It's really hot in here,

isn't it?

Now, the...

anesthetic.

"Nitrous oxide."

What's that?

That is the anesthetic,

you know.

Oh, good.

Yes, it is good, yes.

Please, Doctor,

the pain is getting worse.

Please, hurry up.

A few whiffs of this,

and you won't feel a thing.

- All right.

- Now, breathe deeply.

- How's that?

- It's fine.

How do you feel?

A little dizzy.

- What's so funny?

- I don't know. Nothing.

- Then why are you laughing?

- I don't know.

- Why are you laughing?

- Because I can't help it.

Yes.

I love it.

- Come on.

- It's gonna hurt.

Good. Lovely.

I will have to use more leverage.

I don't know what you gave me,

Doctor...

but it's giving me hallucinations.

Your whole face has changed.

It has?

How's this?

Grotesque!

We just got word, boss.

Clouseau is still alive.

I knew it.

He has pulled the wrong tooth.

There's only one man

who would pull the wrong tooth.

It's Clouseau.

Kill him.

Get Fassbender and his daughter

into the control room.

What about Clouseau?

Priorities.

First I will pick a target.

Then Clouseau.

Now we'll see

who has the last laugh.

They've all betrayed me,

and now they will have to pay.

What shall I destroy?

Buckingham Palace? Too small.

How about London?

Not big enough.

England! Yes, England.

Good-bye, Piccadilly

Farewell, Leicester Square

You are just in time,

Professor.

Within five minutes,

I shall destroy England.

England!

No more cricket.

No more warm beer, Professor.

No more fish and chips.

No more...

England!

Do something.

You brought it on yourself.

It's too late.

Wait!

Do something!

Come back! Help me!

Look!

You've gotta help me.

Help, Professor!

Cato, my little yellow friend,

I'm home.

I gave Cato the night off.

But what has happened

to my room?

Darling?

My darling.

Darling, sing to me.

Sing to you? Oh.

Come to me

And the world

It will be ours tonight

Where did you go?

- Your voice?

- Yes, that was my voice.

That was my voice singing

a little song we used to sing...

in the Resistance

to keep up the courage.

Was it hard for you

in the Resistance?

Very hard, but not as hard

as it is now.

Darling, relax.

Resistance is over.

My darling.

My beautiful darling.

What?
