Madame Chen.

Madame.

On behalf of the management and
team, Madam Chen,

I have the honor to welcome you to Paris.

I hope that your stay
will be very happy.

You are very kind.

I am sure that all
these security measures

may have caused some inconveniences
inconveniences to your guests.

I apologize.

Not so, Madame.

And now, allow me
show you to your suite.

Well, that was a big entrance
for a small woman.

You know, in another time,
the female of the oriental species

was subservient.

She walked four
steps behind her husband,

carrying his luggage.

But then they let her
into politics,

and wow!

During the night, the oriental flower
was transformed into a tiger.

And our friend Madame Chen,
from the east of Viet Pu

makes h*tler and Mussolini
look like two boy scouts.

Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.
waiting, sir.

Sorry.

It didn't keep me waiting.
I was enjoying the show.

I believe you have a reservation for me.

My name is ...

Oh, I know your name.
You are the famous Simon Templar.

THE HOLY

S E - Jeannine

Subtitles by Susanawho

I posted two men in the hallway,

one at the top of the stairs
and one in the elevator.

What about the windows?

Boisseau watches them from the roof.

Excellent. Well...

I don't think we have much
to worry about.

- It seems we have...
- Mr. Templar?

- Templar?
- The Saint!

On second thought, maybe we'd better
to start worrying.

Inspector Quercy!

Sergeant Leduc.

It's good to see them.

Tell me, what do the two
leading detectives in France

are doing at the Hotel du Paris?

Is anyone missing sugar?

Templar, I know perfectly well
why you are here.

The fact that she stayed
in the same hotel as Madam Chen,

and the fact that Madame is
owner of a pearl necklace valued at

, US dollars,

It can hardly be called a coincidence.

What a suspicious and nasty mind you have!

But if you are concerned,
why don't you send me

to one of the deepest dungeons
dungeons of the Bastille?

I wish I could.

However, I have to
settle for the next best thing.

Leduc, you will stay in a room in this hotel.

You will accompany Mr. Templar
wherever he goes.

You'll be so close to him
that people will think

who are Siamese twins.

- Is that clear?
- Yes, Inspector.

I may sound a little too sensitive,

but I have the vague impression
that you don't trust me.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I will retire to the bar, gentlemen.

- Well?
- Yes, Inspector.

Good afternoon, may I help you?

Yes, my name is Jeannine Rogers.

I am Madam Chen's
Madam Chen's Public Relations Officer.

Could you tell me which suite she is in?

The Marinari, sixth floor.

Just show your credentials
to the detectives in the hallway.

To Madame Chen and her beautiful pearls!

Oh and don't worry, I won't tell the Inspector

who has been drinking on the job.

- How about a cigarette?
- Thank you.

- Oh my God!
- Allow me, sir.

- Hello Judith
- Hi, uh...

I am afraid that you are
mistaking me for someone else.

I never make mistakes about
about beautiful women.

Well, I'm very flattered,
but my name is not Judith.

It's Jeannine. Jeannine Rogers.

Jeannine Rogers...

I will try to remember that.

Wouldn't by any chance be
related to Madam Chen?

Yes.

In fact, I am acting as her representative
representative while she is in Paris.

Excuse me, Miss.

Is this gentleman bothering you?

Well, not boring, just disappointing.

I expected the men in Paris
had more original speech than

haven't I seen you somewhere before?

If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.

I'll try not to disappoint next time, Miss Rogers?
next time, Miss Rogers?

Well, Paris may turn out to be more
interesting than I expected.

Foolish, stupid idiot!

I did what I could.

It took a lot of influence to

arrange a meeting with the undersecretary.

Undersecretary!

I don't talk to undersecretaries!

You insult our country by suggesting this!

It will only take a moment to
read this correspondence.

You will see that I have done everything in my power

to fulfill your wishes.

I'll give you two days

to arrange my meeting with the Minister.

If you fail,
you will be recalled and dismissed.

Perhaps you and your family
will prove more efficient

working on a farm in the state.

You! Don't help him.

Mr. Kwan must be able
to do something!

Madam Chen!

I'm sorry I'm late.

- I just came from the Embassy...
- Don't worry.

I have heard enough excuses for one day.

Now, goodbye, Mr. Kwan.

How much time do I have before
press conference?

I should say about minutes.

I have prepared a brochure
based on the facts that

Well, I'll check it out while
I'm changing.

It is best that the restaurant
prepares some kind of buffet.

And ask the bar to
send lots of drinks.

It is very important that
the newspapers do

favorable reports of my visit.

Leave everything to me.

Get me the bar, please.

Cocktail bar.

Yes, of course.

I will have a boy send them to
your room immediately. Thank you.

Boy, take a beverage cart to Madam Chen's
to Madam Chen's suite.

And make sure nothing is missing.

Certainly.

Where do you think you are going?

Well, no offense, but

the landscape there is a little more
more attractive than here.

And with your charm and looks
looks, and my money,

who knows?

Who is he?

Does the name Simon Templar mean
anything to you?

The Saint.

It doesn't seem particularly dangerous.

Many people have made the same mistake.

They could write books
about how wrong they were.

Let's not add chapters, shall we?

But why should it bother us?

It is too much of a coincidence that he arrives

in the same hotel as Madam Chen today.

I think that, like us, he finds
pearls an irresistible attraction.

We need to find an
way to dissuade him.

I have reviewed your notes.
They are quite satisfactory.

- Is there anything else you want?
- I don't think so.

- Aren't you going to wear the pearls?
- I hadn't planned on it.

It would be a shame if not.

The press may want to
to take pictures of you wearing them.

Very well, if you say so.

Come in.

Oh, yes, that's splendid.

Can you put it there?

Yes, ma'am.

- I say, they are splendid, aren't they?
- Aren't they?

Our land reform program
reform program is already underway.

However, like many of the
emerging nations,

We are having difficulties due to the lack of capital.

I hope that answers your question.

Any more questions?

Three years ago, the United States government
government granted them a concession of

million dollars.

Now, a Senate Committee
has reported that very little

of this money was spent
on new projects.

The Senate Committee was
totally misinformed.

Is there any truth in the report

who has a deposit in a Swiss bank

with assets of more than
three million dollars?

Come on, answer this.

I will not allow Madam Chen
to answer any more questions

based on sensational
sensational and completely false reports

that were made by the brown press.

It is an established fact, isn't it?

That the leaders of the political parties
who opposed you

were ex*cuted without trial?

Come on, come on, come on with it.

We want the truth.
We don't try that.

- We want the answer!
- Answer us.

- Let's go!
- Please!

I agreed to this
collective interview in good faith.

However, his attitude is obviously hostile

and I am sure that everything that
will be unfavorable.

Therefore, I see no point in continuing.

Good Morning.

Okay, that's it.
Here we go.

Bring me a drink, will you?
And one for Madame Chen.

On second thought, just leave the cart.

I think that when she sees the
afternoon paper, she will need it.

Well, your friend Madam Chen
doesn't seem to be very popular.

At least your pearls
photograph beautifully.

A photograph will be as close
possible, Mr. Templar.

I'll be watching him.

Bonsoir.

Who is sleeping in my bed?

Good evening, Mr. Templar.

I am Raymond Fouquet.

This is Louis Peyrac.

To avoid a bunch of serfs,
I am happy to meet you.

Since you didn't come to take a nap,
explain your business and leave.

If you cooperate, our subject
won't take long.

We think you have plans for
Madame Chen's pearls.

The thought is not entirely original.
However, go on.

We intend to have that necklace.

I am telling you this because any similar
similar plans you might have,

do not interfere.

Now, if you promise to leave
the field open to us,

We might even give you a small share.

Otherwise, a big cut.

From ear to ear.

You must tell me who
writes your friend's dialogue.

It's really quite witty.

The pearls are ours.

Don't stand in our way.
Do you understand?

Oh my!

You have left everything soggy.
You won't be able to smoke now.

- What will happen if I don't cooperate?
- Peyrac, show him.

I used to carry one like this.
I thought it wore out my wrists.

What is going on?

Where?

Before we go to dinner,
did I give you the schedule for tomorrow?

Yes.

At least I thought I did.

Maybe it's in the bedroom.

Well, I'll look for it.

Madam Chen, Madam Chen!

- What is it?
- Someone has been in the vault!

Call the detective.

- What is it, Miss?
- Someone has been in the room!

Leduc?

Leduc, bring the men
to the fifth floor!

Up the stairs!

Check all the exits.
Take a look at the roof.

Tell Leduc to investigate Templar, quick!

Well, ladies, I think maybe
we'd better talk.

Alone?

- I wasn't sure if it would still be here.
- Well, you are now.

Yes.

You know, it is very difficult to concentrate
in this hotel. What is going on?

An attempt was made to
to steal Madam Chen's pearls.

Leduc?
- Yes, Inspector.

Wait for it!

- Excuse me.
- Drop your weight.

Down.

How did you do this?

This must be the guy who tried to steal Madam Chen's
to steal Madam Chen's pearls.

Yes.

Let's have a drink
and you tell me.

You mean they were
only here on the dressing table?

It was careless, I know.

But I was quite upset
after the press conference.

I just forgot to put them in the safe.
I will do that now.

Leave it for a moment.
My man is finishing.

Well, I hope you will be
more careful in the future.

And I hope you will be more careful.

I understood that there was a
detective guarding the door.

This is something I want to look into now.

- Who was on guard, Leduc?
- Alondo, I caught him outside.

- Dupree, if you'll just finish...
- Just a minute, Inspector.

- Madame.
- One minute, please.

Still no trace of the man?

Well, we are doing a
systematic search, Madam.

We have all the exits covered.

I don't see how he could have
leave the hotel.

If he can't find it, it's possible
that he will try again, isn't it?

You can be sure,
Madame, that no one else

will enter your suite tonight.

Are you going to stay here for the
rest of the night, Madame?

If I can guarantee that there will be no
more alarms, I will now go to sleep.

- You can count on it, Madame.
- Excellent!

Good evening, gentlemen.
- Good evening, Madam.

What are you doing?

I was just admiring them.

They really are excellent.

But I would feel much happier if they were in the safe.
happy if they were in the vault.

Me too.

And then my people go hungry.

They are taxed beyond endurance.

Any voice that rises up and complains is
instantly silenced by the force of arms.

What he hoped to do
with the money he would receive

of pearls? Start a revolution?

That should wait.

In the history of all oppressed peoples,

a leader emerges from the crowd
and leads his people to freedom.

Until that man appears,
the suffering will continue.

The pearls would have brought some relief.
Food, medical supplies.

Anyway, I failed.

Now you must turn me in to the police.

I owe him my life,
so I won't give him any trouble.

Yes, but I think
doesn't deserve to be caught.

You have a better motive than
than anyone else to steal the pearls.

It's just that he's not a very good thief.

- Templar, are you there?
- Come in.

Hi, Leduc.

It is better to make two
champagne cocktails,

- And go easy on the liquor.
- Yes, sir, and thank you very much.

Leduc, did you catch your thief?

No, but at least he is exonerated.

You should be happy
that I was watching over you.

Otherwise, I would already be in a cell.

Oh, I am very grateful.

And after we finish our drinks,

I'm going straight to bed,
so you don't have to worry.

Why should I care?

I'll be watching your door all night long.

I'll send you your drink.

Could you connect me to the bar, please?

- Compliments of Mr. Templar.
- Thank you.

Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Templar is?

Look, there's a man climbing out the window!

I can't see anything.

Two floors down, there, see?

No, I can't see anything.

- He's gone.
- It has to be him.

No one else would be foolish enough
to attempt such a climb.

I have to get it.

He left.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

Is Miss Rogers still at the
hotel, Jeannine Rogers?

I'll call Madame Chen's suite
Chen's suite and see for yourself.

Never mind.

So now we wait.

Come in.

- Did you get it?
- Yes.

Take a look.

Is everything all right?

It will do, that will do.

I had to know the exact
exact size of the pearls.

Is there anything else
you need to know?

Nothing, miss, nothing.

I have all the
information I need right here.

American magazines make good
color photos, don't you agree?

How soon can you prepare it?

If I work hard,
more or less one day.

It should be ready by tomorrow
night at the latest.

I'll try.
Do you have the money?

- , new francs.
- , , miss.

But he agreed to , .
That was all I could get.

Times are hard.

To have an identical copy
made tomorrow night,

is hard work.

However, if you prefer
go somewhere else...

- You know I can't.
- That's true.

Very good.

I will have the extra , tomorrow
night when I collect it.

- Make sure you are ready.
- Make sure you have the money.

Bonsoir, mademoiselle.
Au revoir.

Madam, would you like to buy
a luxurious pearl necklace?

- Simon!
- So now you know me.

What are you doing here?

I think the polite word for it
for this is espionage.

- You mean you heard it?
- Every word.

Look, Simon, this is the
biggest deal I have ever made.

- I spent a fortune on it.
- And I could mess it up.

Just a short word
word to Madam Chen and

would be dismissed.

Simon, please don't do that.

Oh, I can.

- Unless...
- Unless what?

You know what, I'm hungry.

Well, go to a restaurant.

Oh, I have a much better idea.

Why don't we go back
to your apartment?

Go cook me a good meal

because I cooperate
much better on a full stomach.

It was very well prepared
and served with charm.

Well, it is quite difficult to make
confusion with bacon and egg.

I must prepare a meal
for you one day.

You mean you can cook?

Can I cook?

I hate to admit it, but the only
time I was robbed

was when Mrs. Beeton stole my
stole my recipes.

You didn't tell me how
you got this job

as Madame Chen's Public
in charge of Madam Chen's public relations.

Well, believe it or not,
everything was perfectly authentic.

After we had a little adventure in
adventure in Rome...

This little adventure, as you call it,

was one of the biggest mistakes I have seen.

Except that it didn't fall into it.

No, I was talking about the one
who I successfully deceived.

Anyway, you still haven't told me
how you got this job.

Well, believe it or not,
I decided to straighten myself out.

I joined a London agency and
I was assigned to the Paris branch.

For two years, I have been
strictly legitimate.

The Headquarters told me that I would take care of

of Madame Chen's visit.

And like everybody else,
I heard about your pearls.

And the old proverb is back.

- Once a thief...
- Opportunity makes the thief.

And this was the best
opportunity I ever had.

So don't intervene,
Simon, please.

Well, well, well.

This is the third time today that
I have been warned about these pearls.

First by the police,

then, by a couple of rather unpleasant
by a couple of rather unpleasant French thugs,

and now for you.

- Were they the ones who tried to open the safe?
- Oh, no.

No, it was more of an interested party.

You know, if you're not very careful,

someone will steal those
those pearls before you do.

Thank you.

Blue Mountain.

Lightly roasted, coarsely ground.

- Instant, two francs per can.
- You can't win every time.

Simon?

How would you feel about working for me?

What exactly did you have in mind?

Well, I will pay the expenses and
and then we'll split the profit in half.

It breaks my heart to do so,

but I think the opposition is
getting a little too strong.

What do I have to do?

To prevent someone else from getting
the pearls before me.

And how do I know you won't fool me?

I wouldn't do it again.

No, this time I will do
absolutely the right thing.

That's fine.

- Deal done.
- Great.

You see, the advantages of
a society like ours

is that it has many
additional benefits.

Why don't you tell me about them?

Good Morning.

He was out late last night.

Yes, I was discussing the
clauses with my new boss.

I'd better take a quick shower.

Bath? Why?

We will go to the races.

Ah, yes...

Madame Chen also goes to the races.

Isn't that a coincidence?

It is these little surprises
that make life worth living.

- Jeannine?
- Yes, Madame Chen.

I'll be ready in five minutes.

Oh, very well,
I'll call the car.

Could you connect me to the garage, please?

Garage.

Yes, immediately.

Madam Chen wants her car.

Garage.

Mr. Templar's car.

In half an hour.

Yes, I will bring it myself.

We won!

I mean, you won.

I always win, sooner or later.

You!

I said he couldn't lose.

If he keeps running,
he can win the next one.

Let's see what "Monsieur
Newsboy" has to say.

Good afternoon, Madam Chen.

My name is Paul Chauveau,

secretary of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs.

What can I do for you?

The Minister presents his compliments

and asks if he could
join him, maybe

for an informal meeting in your office?

His note will explain.

This is very inconvenient.

Couldn't it wait until tomorrow?

Unfortunately, the Minister flies
to London tomorrow morning.

- Very nice.
- You are very kind, Madame.

I think I'll bet a little bit.

Mr. Templar?

Do you really think I am so stupid?

If you wish to follow Madam Chen, just say so.

You can go wherever you want,

- as long as I am with you.
- Why don't you follow me?

Nice car. You know, English.

Oh, no need to turn right.

This road leads us directly
directly to Paris.

But we are not going to Paris.

But this is so sad,
Madame Chen and I...

Thank you, Madame.

And now, I hope you won't think us
discourteous if we stop, so that you can walk?

Turn right.

It's the Saint!
Take the other car.

- Where are the pearls?
- They are hidden.

What are you looking for, Mr. Templar?

A needle. What do you
usually look for in haystacks?

Very funny, Mr. Templar.

In that case, you will not need them.

Thank you for your help.

Madame Chen, your pearls.

Thank you, Inspector.

Your pearls, Madame Chen.

Thank you.

To you, Mr. Templar, with
my eternal thanks.

You see, my pearls have an enormous
enormous sentimental value to me.

These two attempts to steal them
while I was in Paris

has been very disturbing.

We can well imagine.

You know, pearls are fascinating things.

Throughout history,
there have been stories and legends about them,

stories of v*olence and hatred,

and of course, love.

Have you heard that?
If you drop a pearl

- in a glass of wine, that it would dissolve?
- No.

Ah yes. There is a historical source that says:

Cleopatra once deposited a priceless
priceless pearl

in a cup of wine
and offered it to Caesar,

just to prove that money
money was not everything.

- How fascinating!
- Isn't it?

Well, if you'll excuse us, Madam Chen,

we should get back to work.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Not at all.
Miss Rogers will accompany you.

- I think I'd better come along too...
- No, you stay.

I am sure that after
of all the emotion today,

you must be feeling very
tired, my dear.

Why don't you go home and rest?

That's very kind, but actually
I am perfectly fine.

Absurd. She looks very tired.

- I insist you get some sleep.
- Oh, very well.

I'll see you in the morning.
Good night, Mr. Templar.

Good evening, Miss Rogers.

- Why don't we sit down?
- Splendid idea.

I am sure we will find
much more comfortable here.

- Isn't that better?
- Yes, indeed.

Dear Mr. Templar,
I owe you more than I can repay.

- Ah, not at all.
- But I can try to thank you.

Eastern women learn from
childhood the art of showing gratitude.

Who is it?

Well, what do you want?

I'm sorry to arrive unannounced,
but I have news of the utmost importance.

- Well, I will.
- Oh, please stay.

No, Madame Chen, it is kindness itself,
but you have a very busy day tomorrow.

Thank you for your hospitality.
Thank you, I mean, good night.

- Good evening, Mr. Templar.
- Good evening.

Well, what do you want?

Tonight, I finally got to talk to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of France.

It's about time.

- When am I going to see him?
- You won't.

What are you saying?

Only the Minister refuses to see it.

That is the diplomatic way of saying

that the French government despises
you, your husband and your regime.

It's your fault, you stupid old man!

You are our representative here.
Allow me to be insulted!

- You will be relocated at once!
- You can reallocate me.

But I will return to our country,
not as the head of your legation,

but as a private citizen.

This is my letter of resignation,
effective as of now.

Good evening, Madame Chen.

Come back. I command you! Come back!

I will leave Paris on the noon plane.

Please call the airline to confirm
airline and confirm my reservation.

Then call Jeannine Rogers and tell her
that I want her here at eight o'clock sharp!

Jeannine?

In bed.

In my own room, I escaped.

- Tell me, did you get the pearls?
- I'm afraid not, Simon.

He said he would not be able to finish
the reply until tomorrow night.

Isn't that a shame?

We'll just have to wait, won't we?

I will talk to you tomorrow,
get some sleep.

Good evening.

- Not inside, put them here.
- I'm sorry, ma'am.

Why can't you do what you are told?

The car will be here in a few
moments, Madam Chen.

Well, don't forget that.

And I prepared a
statement for the press.

You might want to read it.

Of course. Help the maid.

You want me to fix your jewelry,
Madam Chen?

No, I will deal with it.

Everything is fine.

Well, I can't say
that I'm sorry to see her go.

I wouldn't want this kind
of work every week.

Still, it was worth it
to stop the Saint .

Suppose we invite you
for a drink, huh?

He left this morning,
but there's nothing to stop us.

I'll turn in my key first.

Mademoiselle...

- Merci, monsieur.
- Merci beaucoup.

Oh, Inspector, I have brought every movement
of Templar since he arrived in Paris.

- Very efficient.
- Thank you.

- Jerome.
- Yes.

Templar went to see Jerome?
In Montmartre?

Of course. He followed the girl there.

- Inspector, is something wrong?
- I wonder.

This man specializes in
making replicas of famous jewelry.

Now, if Templar and the
girl went to visit him...

Just a minute, Jerome.

How do you happen to have these pictures?

Is that a crime, Inspector?
It's my profession.

Why did Simon Templar come to visit you here?

Ah, you are wrong, Sergeant.
I don't know anyone by that name.

- He came here, I followed him.
- And Jeannine Rogers too.

Ah, yes, Mademoiselle Rogers.

She wanted a bracelet,
to repair a bracelet.

Or perhaps a replica of Madame Chen's
Madame Chen's pearls.

This is ridiculous.

This has reached your office now.

- It's urgent.
- Thank you.

It's not important now.
I was just checking on Madam Chen.

Oh, my God!

Jeannine Rogers, aka Judith
Northwood, a.k.a. Jeanne Randolph

Look there, there.

In the period in London,

known for working with
Simon Templar, alias the Saint!

She worked with him all the time
all the time in Madame Chen's suite.

- And so are you.
- Monsieur, I don't know...

Made a replica of Madame Chen's
of Madame Chen

and Templar and this girl exchanged.

- I swear.
- But Madame Chen didn't complain.

Madam Chen doesn't know.
Let's go!

Simon!

What the hell are you doing here?

I am cooking a meal for us.
Don't you remember, I promised you.

I thought we could have it
as a farewell lunch,

regret the failure
of our little plan.

Yes, it was a pity, but

Too bad we didn't have another hours.

Still, maybe we will work together
together on some other scheme.

Well, I certainly hope so.

I see that everything is ready to go.

Yes, I thought about taking
a trip to New York.

Yes, I have always said that Paris in springtime

was no place for a woman.

Now sit here while I serve.

I think you'll like that.

It is my supreme culinary achievement.

Two bottles of wine
and a whole chicken.

Plus a magical touch of Templar.

- Oh, that's funny.
- What is it?

It's Quercy and Leduc.

What?

Well, they must have smelled the
smell the food. What is the problem?

Well...

Take a good look, Simon,
I didn't tell you the exact truth.

I got the fake pearls.

They are here in my bag.

I just haven't had time to make the switch.

He paid for them.

You have every right to keep them.

I don't understand what
all this noise.

But if you search the
the place and find them,

will know that I intended
to steal Madam Chen.

Oh, Simon, please help me.

Oh, I can't understand why
is worried, but that's okay.

Go and let them in.

Hello, Inspector, you're just in time for lunch.
in time for lunch.

I'll get another Kn*fe and fork.

Okay, Templar, I've come for
Madam Chen's pearls.

Inspector, it seems as if
you are accusing us of stealing.

This is how it was supposed to look.

I know they are
here and I will find them,

even if I have to tear down this
apartment brick by brick.

I am sure that there is something
in the contract that forbids this.

- But go ahead, if you want.
- We want to.

And I will start with you.

Leduc, go through every
centimeter of the place.

Templar, I will never know for sure.

But I'll bet my life
that you and this woman

They stole these pearls.

But my hands are tied
because I can't prove it.

But there is one thing I can do.

Order them to leave the city.

If any of you are
miles from Paris tomorrow,

- I'm going to accuse you of m*rder!
- Blame the cook.

I swear!

Oh, Simon! You were wonderful!

Well, that's the kind of
gratitude I like.

I thought he would find them.

Oh, he got a little warm.

Where did you hide them?

Do you remember that I was talking about

of pearls dissolving into
wine for Madame Chen?

You did not!

Oh, there's nothing to worry about. I am
sure it doesn't apply to fake pearls.

Oh, you fool!

You! You idiot!

Oh, you fool, you imbecile!

Oh, then it must have been the real ones.

Well, I see you have ruined
a perfectly good meal.

There's not much point in staying, is there?

Get out, get out before I k*ll you!

Come in.

Hello, Mr. Templar. I thought the
girl said she was out.

That was to throw the police off.

She is a very cooperative girl.

Can I help you with something?

Yes, but before you do,
there is something I want you to have.

The Chen pearls!

I'm afraid they don't feed
or clothe, or provide medicine

for all the people in your country.

But at least they will help some.

Maybe the very old and the very young.

- I don't...
- Just accept them, okay?

All it cost me was a piece of
of string with a small clasp.

A few bottles
of cheap red wine

and a hard old boiling chicken.

- Now, maybe you
want to take down my request.

Of course, Mr. Templar.

A dozen oysters.
Big ones, with pearls.
