Niente rose per OSS 117 (OSS 117 - Double Agent)

Stop him!

He's getting away! Look!

Hey, stop!

DOUBLE AGENT

- Who pulled the heist? - OSS 117.

Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath? I didn't recognize him.

Of course not. He's had plastic surgery.

He's much better looking now.

They left the car here and took another one. Let's call headquarters.

That guy's crazy. What's he doing?

Hands up! Put your hands up, I said!

At 8:30 this morning...

the infamous Chandler,

the most ruthless, the superstar of criminals,

public enemy number one,

was arrested at the home of the Spanish dancer Conchita Esteban,

where he had spent the night.

Until now,

Chandler had succeeded in carrying out every mission,

while eluding the police of many countries.

We owe his arrest to Conchita Esteban,

who risked everything by calling the police,

and to the swift reaction of Inspector Grimaldi.

POLICE HEADQUARTERS

The criminal is now being questioned in order to establish his identity.

As soon as he is formally charged...

probably late this afternoon,

Chandler will be transferred, under heavy guard, to prison.

You know what to do.

Not everyone gets an escort like this one, eh, Lieutenant?

That's for sure. They don't want this one to get away.

Look, they even sent a helicopter.

Or is it for the president?

What the hell is that thing?

Stop! Stop the car!

Lieutenant, I feel kind of funny.

Me too.

Hello, sir. This way, please.

Through here.

Follow me, please.

Now you'll be given a medical checkup.

It's like being drafted.

But army doctors are rarely built like that.

Take that off, please.

- Everything? - Just unbutton your shirt.

Lie down, please.

Deep breath.

Stop.

- Your heart is in top shape. - That's reassuring.

Sit up, please.

Cough.

Impossible, Doctor. I no longer smoke.

Just a small cough.

Once more.

Swing your legs this way.

Lie down.

Your pulse is very slow.

It's a matter of self- control.

- And when you let loose? - I've never tried.

With a doctor.

I'll show you to your room.

Follow me.

- Don't you ever ask questions? - Why should I?

Aren't you curious who that man was?

Macio? He's an elite hit man.

Sentenced to death in 8510 Paulo.

You're well informed.

It's not hard.

Like everyone, I read the newspapers.

Nice place.

This way.

This is your room.

- No doorknob? - Only on the outside.

This is the bathroom. You'll find everything you need.

You have a meeting with the major in half an hour.

- How will you open the door? - It's simple.

- Good- bye. - Good- bye.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

And thanks for saving my life.

Lives are so rarely worth saving.

Please, sit down.

I'm pleased to have salvaged an individual of such quality.

- I congratulate myself. - What do you mean?

You're registered here as number 129.

May I ask what happened to the other 128?

A few are still with us.

The clumsy ones are dead.

And those that accomplished their missions are wealthy and content.

What category does this caveman belong to?

Excuse me for this inexcusable breach of manners.

This is my trusted associate...

Mr. Karas.

Trusted?

I wouldn't trust him with a squirt gun.

I can tell we'll get along. I've got a treat for you.

In a few days, I'm assigning you a very important mission.

Or more precisely, a mission...

worthy of you.

- A mission? - An assassination.

From what I see, you seem well organized.

We certainly are.

Many others must agree

because, when spoken of in rumors, we're often called “The Organization.”

I'm quite proud of that.

A superior sort of murder calls for a man of your class.

I'm flattered.

Are the profits big enough to justify your investments?

Business is booming.

Are you kidding? People worth killing are rare.

You're gravely mistaken, my friend.

Admittedly, assassinations of truly important people...

are rare occasions.

But when one needs to eliminate unwanted witnesses...

no one knows where it will lead.

Until your mission, you can play tennis, swim.

Or read. We have a fabulous library.

And all of us here enjoy classical music.

What precautions have you taken against unwanted visitors?

In such a case...

the house...

and all its occupants...

will take a swift trip...

to either hell...

or heaven.

I leave it up to God.

Enjoy your stay.

What a pleasant surprise!

I brought you a sleeping pill in case you feel restless.

My nerves are fine.

- Something else worries me. - What is it?

It's here...

near my heart.

I'll check it out.

Yes, something is wrong.

- Is it serious? - Not if treated quickly.

What do you advise?

- Doctor. - Yes?

I feel better.

There's something... I need to tell you.

If you fail your mission, you'll certainly be killed.

Even if you succeed...

you could die.

That's life.

I was brought here against my will and I want to leave.

Will you help me?

Of course. But how?

I know how to get into the garage. The Mercedes is there.

What about the keys?

I had a copy made.

Where will we go?

Anywhere. We'll be free.

Please.

One thing intrigues me.

What?

Your ring.

It's a sign of engagement.

I thought you were single.

I am. Believe me.

And yet,

a ring almost always symbolizes a relationship.

Amazing what they can do these days.

Tell me, are these micro- transmitters...

waterproof?

He's wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful.

Doctor! Just the one I needed to see.

Yes?

I can't sleep and I know you have...

a great treatment for that.

I'm afraid you'll have to do without tonight.

What a shame. I'll miss it.

Weren't you warned?

Yes, your colleague the caveman informed me

I'd be confined to my room tonight.

Will you visit me?

I must stay in my room too.

The major is meeting an important client tonight.

Does that happen often?

It's quite rare actually.

You should go to your room now. Good night.

I'll really miss you.

- Please, have a seat. - Thanks.

A glass of port, as usual?

So far, we've stirred up turmoil and riots in that part of the Middle East,

and it's been quite profitable for our interests.

Who's to thank for that?

You are. That's clear, my friend.

Unfortunately, the United Nations just nominated

my friend Heindrich Van Dyke

to attempt to reestablish peace between the two warring tribes.

What's even worse...

is that he's managed to win the trust of the tribesmen.

He even speaks their dialect, and through his influence,

there's a very good chance that peace will reign once more.

Such peace

means profit losses in the millions for our group.

So you'd like to eliminate your dear friend?

Yes, but intelligently.

To work, this “execution” needs to seem

like it was done by one of the warring tribes.
