I understand a new Pissarro
has come onto the black market.

:14:09
I'll just have to live without it.
:14:11
Your fascination with paintings
has always amazed me.

:14:16
You have how many now?
:14:19
- Twenty-one.
- Marvelous!

:14:21
I should think your collection
would be interesting material...

:14:24
...for the Internal Revenue people.
:14:28
How does an underpaid professor
buy rare paintings?

:14:33
Masterpieces worth millions.
:14:36
A professor with a balance of...
:14:38
...$2,137 in his checking account?
:14:43
You forgot the $0.42.
:14:46
I wonder what the tax people would say
if I revealed how I made the money:

:14:50
By killing people for the government.
:14:52
True, but of course,
no one will believe you.

:14:56
More importantly,
it won't do anything for your paintings.

:15:00
What do you think would happen to them?
:15:03
I imagine they'd be seized and...
:15:07
...auctioned off,
made available to everyone.

:15:12
Perhaps Mr. Pope
would be able to buy one.

:15:15
Won't it do your heart good
to think of one of your paintings...

:15:19
...in Mr. Pope's hands?
:15:22
Dragon, you have a talent
for describing the indescribable.

:15:25
There are two assailants.
:15:28
Our research division has located...
:15:30
...only one of these men in Zürich.
:15:33
C-2 is working on the second one...
:15:36
...and I hope they will have identified him
by the time you arrive in Zürich.

:15:42
We have reason to believe
that the Zürich man...

:15:45
...is responsible for the assassination
of several of our agents...

:15:49
...in a most savage manner.
:15:54
I'll take one sanction, only one.
:15:56
All right.
:15:58
We shall talk about the second sanction
when the time comes.
