Speaker 1: Monaco is the smallest, most densely populated country in the
Speaker 1: world and also the wealthiest. Less than a square mile
Speaker 1: of glistening coastline, filled with gorgeous beaches and gorgeous people.
Speaker 1: It is known as the playground for the rich and famous,
Speaker 1: but you need not be either to truly appreciate its wonders.
Speaker 1: Whoa hey, what the heck? Lady? Can't you see I'm
Speaker 1: writing here.
Speaker 2: If you don't come to the water, the water comes
Speaker 2: to you. Now, put the pen down and stop ruminating
Speaker 2: on the wonders of the modern day bikini. This is
Speaker 2: supposed to be our anniversary vacation, not just another work trip.
Speaker 1: Need I remind my wife it's the writing that allows
Speaker 1: us to afford vacations like this.
Speaker 2: Ah, wishful thinking? My husband?
Speaker 1: Is that so you man?
Speaker 2: Always so delusional? Everyone knows it's my photos sell our books.
Speaker 2: It's simple math. Actually, how many words does a picture worth?
Speaker 1: The number is failing me.
Speaker 2: And by the way, darling, nit I remind you, we
Speaker 2: can't actually afford vacations like this until I close the
Speaker 2: deal for our new publishing contract. Fortunately, your old army
Speaker 2: friend is the hotel concierge, proving once again, it is
Speaker 2: not what you know?
Speaker 1: But who oh? Is that so?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Then let's see how much the photographer likes to get
Speaker 1: wet herself.
Speaker 2: Hey, don't you dare? Let me put my camera down?
Speaker 4: First, camerade on first?
Speaker 2: Oh this water, it's so clear, it's like swimming in glass.
Speaker 1: Remember our first anniversary when we skinny dipped in the Amazon.
Speaker 2: I'm just glad the piranhas didn't get you. You are
Speaker 2: as naked as the natives, King of natives. I saw
Speaker 2: you observing the local girls. Would you prefer me better
Speaker 2: in one of those skimpy bikinis that are all the range.
Speaker 1: I must admit the new fashion is hard to miss.
Speaker 1: But you, my love, I prefer you and nothing at all.
Speaker 2: Oh, genius slimer, Who is that a Piranha?
Speaker 1: Happy anniversary, my love? And to Unia Moore, m.
Speaker 5: It's it's you.
Speaker 2: I think that Bill Hoop is waving at us.
Speaker 1: How may we help you? Monsieur Delo has sent me
Speaker 1: to deliver a mess o.
Speaker 3: He invites you and your wife to an evening cocktail
Speaker 3: on the South.
Speaker 1: Tell us, really now, I thought we might have other plans.
Speaker 2: It's your war body, not mine. A tribia tell mis
Speaker 2: Si Devroux, we look forward to it's messy.
Speaker 1: And there goes his tip.
Speaker 2: Gee.
Speaker 1: The palatial Hotel de Peri is the crown jewel of
Speaker 1: Monte Carlo, a five star resort that takes its shining
Speaker 1: crown very seriously. Every element the epitome of taste and luxury.
Speaker 1: Set within a beautiful bell of poc Era building erected
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty four. It is on the grand terrace
Speaker 1: where guests gather to see and be seen.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, look at these hotel guests. It looks
Speaker 2: like they're out of a Morney painting. I hope I
Speaker 2: remember my manners.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry about that. When I first met Fabian,
Speaker 1: he was scavenging out of a vishy landfill outside Paris.
Speaker 2: I guess he has come a long way since then.
Speaker 5: Monsieur monsieur Madame Fodor, welcome the Hotels Paris. Oh, you're

Speaker 5: three glasses.

Speaker 2: That champagne is incredible.
Speaker 1: Don't pern young If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 5: You never my friend. I used to have the finest
Speaker 5: ballads in other land, and the memory too match. This
Speaker 5: man knows every crape on the vine and every bottle
Speaker 5: in the cell.
Speaker 2: It does come in handy at a party.
Speaker 5: I love you know. This winter is extraordinarily for even
Speaker 5: there's a growing season. It began with a reasonably cool spring,
Speaker 5: which is slow but successful. But bursts before flowering see
Speaker 5: summer months were consistently warm, with every reaching the sizzling
Speaker 5: eyes that can suffocate the crape. The idellic condition continued
Speaker 5: long and to the other. I'm allowing an easy the
Speaker 5: successful harvest of a healthy crop one of their final
Speaker 5: seasons ever.

Speaker 5: studying every turn on the cause and bump on the street.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't do wait. I brought special speed lenses
Speaker 2: to capture.

Speaker 5: I make sure you have the best view in the house.
Speaker 5: How is it travel guide business? I see more of
Speaker 5: your books hands is or does in the Bible itself?
Speaker 2: We're in twenty seven countries now, but our current publisher
Speaker 2: barely gives us time to stand still.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, our contracts running out and losted negotiating with a
Speaker 1: new publisher for months.
Speaker 5: So you write the books and place the business. I
Speaker 5: understand now. It's a wise man who is a wise ocal.

Speaker 1: The only children Fabian likes are the ones he's day.
Speaker 2: Remember the girl he brought to her wedding.
Speaker 1: The wine was older.
Speaker 4: Than she was and less intoxicated.
Speaker 1: Don't judge him too harshly. He had a family once,
Speaker 1: but lost them during the war.
Speaker 2: Oh you never told me.
Speaker 1: I never met them, and Fabian doesn't talk about it.
Speaker 2: You men in your war secrets. Oh how did it happen?
Speaker 1: In air strike? Fabian was French resistance. When the Nazis
Speaker 1: caught them trying to escape Paris. They sent Fabian to
Speaker 1: a pow camp and his wife and son to a
Speaker 1: concentration camp.
Speaker 5: Oh, no one survived.
Speaker 1: Fabian helped them win the war, but it cost him everything.
Speaker 1: The front of the Hotel de Paris opens onto a
Speaker 1: grand plaza with beautiful views of the ocean, calling to
Speaker 1: its well heeled guests, arms laden with shopping bags from

Speaker 5: the war, Churchill himself came to celebrate the reopening abouttle
Speaker 5: of eighteen eleven vintage R was enjoyed to Max the occasion.
Speaker 8: Winston did always enjoy his roalm.
Speaker 5: So you see, Ambassador, this is how good at keeping secrets.

Speaker 4: I'm sorry I did not know.
Speaker 1: I served with the US Army as a frontline translator
Speaker 1: during the war. We were captured and brought to the camp,
Speaker 1: cold and starving. Fabian taught me how to survive on
Speaker 1: k rations and merleau.
Speaker 5: Is this man so modest truses? It was Gene who
Speaker 5: saved my life. He orchestrated a prison escape. I waited
Speaker 5: until a moonless night and escorted an entire battalion of
Speaker 5: bows from behind enemy lines. It's only his knowledge of
Speaker 5: the land is his guid. Every night in that camp
Speaker 5: I prayed to Saint Nicholas, who's faces GESU dear on
Speaker 5: my necklace. A miracle turns out Eugenia It's the only
Speaker 5: miracle work I needed.
Speaker 1: You're still wearing that rusty medallion around your neck, you
Speaker 1: superstitious bastard.
Speaker 5: It's got missus far.
Speaker 4: In Colbert, how did you do it?
Speaker 5: Eugene means a genius. This an netlas In, said Brine.
Speaker 1: Just the family business. My father was a cartographer. He
Speaker 1: never taught me how to ride a bike or fly
Speaker 1: a kite. But I could tell you the streets of
Speaker 1: Morocco or the canals of Amsterdam like the back of
Speaker 1: my hand.
Speaker 5: It was the best place to buy a me leuto,
Speaker 5: even a camo for set matter.
Speaker 2: Then he'll bargain with the street vendor in seven languages.
Speaker 1: What can I say?
Speaker 2: I'm well traveled, crize, impress your mom a true Renodson's man.
Speaker 5: Oh, don't get too impressed. Let's see if Moselfodo Hill
Speaker 5: can guide us to the casino. It's time to try

Speaker 2: Great? Lead away.
Speaker 5: And let's cigar. My friend, you've come a long way
Speaker 5: from my fox early into them in my phone.
Speaker 1: Much has changed, but not everything, it seems. While we've
Speaker 1: gotten older, your girlfriends have an aged today.
Speaker 5: My fountain of you, they give me hop for ze will. Meanwhile,
Speaker 5: Nutu still look like on Imun's. I guess life on
Speaker 5: zero and Suzu.
Speaker 1: We are in a great place right now. Oh I

Speaker 1: negotiating is good business, but for her it's about something else,
Speaker 1: settling down and planting roots.
Speaker 5: And he wants that too.
Speaker 1: Of course, who wouldn't thriving business, growing family, not living
Speaker 1: out of a suitcase. But this is the only life
Speaker 1: we've ever known, and.
Speaker 5: You feel change, my friend, joy shock always have been.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid if you stopped moving forward.
Speaker 1: Guess I'm more like my father than I thought speaking
Speaker 1: of your father.
Speaker 5: I have a confessional to make.
Speaker 1: In truth.
Speaker 5: I invite you here for a reason. There's something very important,
Speaker 5: show you. It's top secret.
Speaker 1: In fact, what is it?
Speaker 5: Something I've kept very safe? Gene, you see that man?
Speaker 5: It's a buccle hot table. Has he been following us?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Not sure everyone's dressed the same
Speaker 1: in here. You're sounding paranoid, Buddy, Is everything okay? It
Speaker 1: will be.
Speaker 5: I have to see Race. We can't Tokyo. Meet me
Speaker 5: at my office in an hour. I explain everything.
Speaker 1: You're leaving right now. What about your date?
Speaker 5: I drive it will make sure she gets home safely.
Speaker 5: Modern women, I love a good mystery ladies and get
Speaker 5: them all bets fitful jo.
Speaker 7: Should we give it a go?
Speaker 1: Sure you're back, But where's the girl?
Speaker 2: I think I lost her by the black jack tables?
Speaker 2: Where's Fabian going? Hiding from her too?
Speaker 1: He had to run. I'm gonna meet him for a
Speaker 1: night cap later. Hold on, hold on, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's been shot in the stomach. Somebody get an ambulance.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Buddy, help us on the way. It's gonna
Speaker 1: apply pressure. Ray, don't talk, just breathe right say, Nick,
Speaker 1: he's going into Pardiac arrass. Come on, Davian, breathe.
Speaker 2: Please, please gone, Please, he's gone, Stelling, he's gone.
Speaker 1: Monica is one of the safest places you can travel
Speaker 1: as a tourist. One police officer for every twenty three residents.
Speaker 1: That's more police per capita than any country in the world,
Speaker 1: and well trained, selected from the French Police Force before
Speaker 1: going through an additional two years of intensive training, and
Speaker 1: those criminals who are convicted face maximum sentences. Heavy security
Speaker 1: for such a small country, yet danger often lurks in
Speaker 1: the safest places, so a wary traveler should always keep
Speaker 1: their wits about them.
Speaker 2: Jean, the attention the detective is coming.
Speaker 10: Good evening, mister and missus Vodor, thank you for sticking around,
Speaker 10: and Detective Reno with the Monico police.
Speaker 11: You were a friend of the victim and the witness
Speaker 11: to the crime.
Speaker 2: No, not a witness. We heard the gunshots and found
Speaker 2: Fabian wounded and dying.
Speaker 11: Have you caught a shooter yet not yet, we are
Speaker 11: working on it. You are also staying at the hotel
Speaker 11: as guest of the victim.
Speaker 1: Yes, he invited us. He was an old friend.
Speaker 4: Wait are we suspects?
Speaker 11: No, madam, But this was no random act of violence.
Speaker 10: Fabian's office at the Hotel de Perrie was also ransacked
Speaker 10: and he's safe opened.
Speaker 11: We believe the killer was after something.
Speaker 10: Did your friend mention Esratte perhaps a clue as to
Speaker 10: why someone might want to arm him?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: Nothing. Everyone loved Fabian. He was a great man, a
Speaker 1: great friend, and the idea of what was in this
Speaker 1: safe Now he just invited us with the grand prix.
Speaker 10: Very well, that's awful now, but please remain at the
Speaker 10: hotel intel further notice in case we have more questions.
Speaker 4: Of course, what are the police doing.
Speaker 2: They should be searching the entire hotel and every inch
Speaker 2: of this city.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest tourist weekend of the year. The
Speaker 1: last thing they want to do is scare the guests.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't believe we were just having dinner with
Speaker 2: him a few hours ago.
Speaker 1: What do something like this, even in the most beautiful places,
Speaker 1: will do the most horrible things.
Speaker 2: Are you all right, darling? I know what he meant
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: It's just what he said before he died. It's like
Speaker 1: he knew he was in danger.
Speaker 2: It's not your fault, Gine.
Speaker 4: You did all you could to save him.
Speaker 2: Who knows what Fabian had gotten himself into, maybe even
Speaker 2: a jealous boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 4: Why don't you wash up and get some rest.
Speaker 2: It's been a long night.
Speaker 1: I can't not yet you go to bed. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get a drink at the bar downstairs.
Speaker 1: Clear my head?
Speaker 2: Hmm you want me to join you?
Speaker 1: It's fine, you get some sleep.
Speaker 12: I won't be long, I thought, monsieur, See what do
Speaker 12: I owe you on the house for Fabian?
Speaker 1: For Fabian?
Speaker 11: No, no, no, to Atros?
Speaker 5: Did you.
Speaker 6: Bomb Exclo?
Speaker 12: Shut up and take that bullshit outside?
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, what.
Speaker 5: Was that all about?
Speaker 7: I may not speak French, but I sure know what
Speaker 7: a bar fight looks like.
Speaker 1: More terrorist attacks in Paris. The Algerian War is turning
Speaker 1: the French against one another.
Speaker 7: And here I thought Paris was supposed to be the
Speaker 7: city of love. So loud down here. Perhaps we could
Speaker 7: finish these drinks upstairs.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm married.
Speaker 7: Oh I know, happy anniversary. Blast is a beautiful woman.
Speaker 4: You're a very lucky guy.
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Do I know you?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 6: But I know you.
Speaker 7: Eugene Fhodor born in Leava, Hungary, currently lives in Paris, France,
Speaker 7: studied at the Serbon speaks eleven languages, and served with
Speaker 7: the OSS of the United States Army during World War Two.
Speaker 7: Husband of Lastazobela, citizen and refugee of Communist Czechoslovakia.
Speaker 1: Okay, you've got my attention. Who are you and what
Speaker 1: do you want?
Speaker 7: I'm a friend of a friend, and that friend is
Speaker 7: waiting upstairs to join you for a drink. He said.
Speaker 7: When you last toasted, it was over a bottle of
Speaker 7: genevert on the banks of the Muse River.
Speaker 9: Colonel Blanding, follow me, Gene Fodor. It's so good to
Speaker 9: see you. I only wish it were under different circumstances.
Speaker 9: Can I offer you a drink?
Speaker 1: Colonel Blanding, Sir, how'd you know I was here?
Speaker 9: It's just Martin now, and I was also here at
Speaker 9: the invitation of Fabian. He was a good friend. We
Speaker 9: worked together for many years. I was with him just yesterday.
Speaker 1: So you're in the hotel business. I never imagined you
Speaker 1: out of uniform.
Speaker 9: Not hotels. Fabian and I worked together in a different capacity.
Speaker 9: I run an international trade organization called permandex with corporate
Speaker 9: interests around the globe. But Fabian and I served a
Speaker 9: singular interest.
Speaker 11: The CIA.
Speaker 1: You're telling me Fabian was a spy.
Speaker 9: An asset, one of the best we had. His position
Speaker 9: at the hotel gave us access to intelligence that saved
Speaker 9: hundreds of lives, perhaps more cost him his own. We
Speaker 9: think it was the Red Hand, a KGB death squad
Speaker 9: deployed to perform targeted attacks to incite communist revolution, and
Speaker 9: they've set their sights on overthrowing the French government in Algeria.
Speaker 1: What's that got to do with Fabian or the CIA.
Speaker 9: The Red Hand has already subverted governments in Vietnam, Korea,
Speaker 9: Hungary and Czechoslovakia. If they gain a foothold in Africa
Speaker 9: and destabilized NATO, they won't be long before they're at
Speaker 9: our shores.
Speaker 1: That's insane. You're talking about World War three? Why are
Speaker 1: you telling me all this?
Speaker 9: Because I trust you, and Fabian trusted you. We've received
Speaker 9: intel that the Red Hand are planning to assassinate the
Speaker 9: French ambassador during the Grand Prix tomorrow as a message
Speaker 9: to the world. We believe that same assassin killed Fabian
Speaker 9: for this information he held.
Speaker 1: You mean, what was in the safe?
Speaker 9: Fabian received top secret intelligence concerning the Soviet operation microfilm
Speaker 9: that proved their plots and revealed their targets. Whoever killed
Speaker 9: them also ransacked his apartments, so we believe they still
Speaker 9: haven't found what they're looking for.
Speaker 1: Then you better find it first. Tell me you've at
Speaker 1: least identified the killer.
Speaker 7: Not yet, but we will and they will be brought
Speaker 7: to justice.
Speaker 9: And allow me to formally introduce Rebecca Ralston, my assistant
Speaker 9: and one of the agency's best.
Speaker 1: We've met charming, But what I don't understand is what
Speaker 1: any of this has got to do with me.
Speaker 9: More than you know. But right now we really need
Speaker 9: your help, Gene. You were my best field scout and
Speaker 9: frontline interrogator during the war, and the clock is ticking
Speaker 9: on cat this killer before he strikes again.
Speaker 1: I'm not a spy or a soldier, not anymore.
Speaker 9: I don't need a soldier. I need a travel writer.
Speaker 9: No one knows the city or the people that run it.
Speaker 9: Better help us bring Fabian's killer to justice. If we don't,
Speaker 9: more blood will be shit.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll do it for Fabian just one night
Speaker 1: and Vlosta never finds out.
Speaker 9: I'll make sure she's protected. Rebecca will assist you. She's
Speaker 9: a fourth to three black belt, proficient in a variety
Speaker 9: of weapons and trained and counter terrorism tactics.
Speaker 1: Impressive, A liberated woman, liberated and lethal. All right, then, Rebecca,
Speaker 1: We've got a killer hiding in a country smaller than
Speaker 1: Central Park. Where do we start with the microfilm?
Speaker 7: We find that microfilm? We find the killer.
