Just a question of principle:
:11:03
When you take over the entire stock
holdings of Taran Nuclear Works...
:11:06
is this happening under the auspices
of the United States...
:11:08
or are you signing
as a private citizen?
:11:10
In practice, it's irrelevant.
:11:12
When I evaluate the secret models
of your rockets...
:11:15
on my U.S. testing grounds...
:11:18
I will be under government supervision
anyway.
:11:20
And how do you envision
the financial transaction?
:11:23
As soon as my lawyers
have examined the contract...
:11:26
you will receive
the full amount by check.
:11:28
The name Taylor is an alias.
:11:31
Departments B and C are to follow
Taylor's each and every step...
:11:35
and give a detailed report
every 1 2 hours.
:11:39
Taylor is staying
in a luxury suite...
:11:42
on the 14th floor
of the Luxor Hotel.
:11:45
A radio message
from Inspector Kras.
:11:47
"Before he was murdered
on his way to the TV studio...
:11:50
the reporter Peter Barter
had been at the Luxor Hotel...
:11:53
according to a statement
by the vehicle maintenance man."
:11:56
Please call a short staff meeting
for 20 minutes from now.
:12:01
In the meantime, I will notify
the president of Interpol.
:12:03
We have been struggling
for a while...
:12:05
with a series
of strange, unsolved crimes.
:12:10
It all began two years ago.
:12:12
On May 1 5, 1 958...
:12:15
a passenger airplane crashed
at the Dutch airport of Schiphol...
:12:19
following an act of sabotage.
:12:21
The perpetrators
are still unknown.
:12:23
Among the dead was
the French bank president Luchard.
:12:26
His death caused a significant drop
on the Paris stock exchange.
:12:31
During his trip to Germany...
:12:33
Luchard had stayed
at the Luxor Hotel.
:12:38
On November 2, 1958...
:12:41
Mr. Delano, an attorney
for the steel corporation PCA...
:12:45
was murdered in a sleeping car
on a train traveling from Oslo to Paris.
:12:50
Two weeks before the murder...
:12:52
Mr. Delano spent three evenings
in the casino of the Luxor Hotel.
:12:56
On May 1 2, 1 959...
:12:59
the Algerian-born arms dealer
Hussein fell victim to a bomb blast...
