:23:05
Over what range will you fire?
:23:08
I'm not sure yet,
but probably not more than 400 feet.

:23:12
-Will the gentleman be moving?
-Stationary.

:23:15
Will you go for a head shot
or a chest shot?

:23:18
Probably head.
:23:20
What about the chances of a second shot?
:23:22
I might get the chance, but I doubt it.
:23:24
In any event, I'll need a silencer to escape.
:23:27
In that case,
you better have explosive bullets.

:23:31
-I can prepare a handful for you.
-Glycerin or mercury?

:23:35
Mercury, I think.
:23:39
It's much cleaner.
:23:42
-More Campari?
-No, thank you.

:23:44
It seems then...
:23:46
...the gun must be carried past customs
without arousing suspicion.

:23:53
Recognize that?
:23:59
The whole thing should be made
of hollow aluminium tubes...

:24:02
...which screw together. The top one...
:24:04
...holds the rifle strut. The one below,
the bolt with the breech inside it.

:24:09
The shoulder rest of the rifle
doubles for both purposes...

:24:12
-...without changing in any way.
-That's excellent.

:24:14
The last two sections house
the telescopic sight and silencer.

:24:18
Here.
:24:21
It's very remarkable. It's so simple.
:24:25
I shall need the gun in about two weeks.
:24:28
If you could meet me here...
:24:31
...August 13, you could try out
the gun and discuss last minute details.

:24:35
Very well. August 13.
:24:37
Now the question of your fee.
:24:44
I have to ask a fee of 1,000 pounds
for this kind of a job...

:24:49
...you see and, say...
:24:51
...another 100 or 200 pounds
for the raw materials.

:24:56
Done.
:24:58
I'll pay you half the fee now
and the rest on delivery.
