So, this is the genuine American navy?
It's stupid. This is too unrealistic.
You and me are the things that are unrealistic.
Stand up! Special Presidential Aide, Mr. Gissinger! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]
What did he say?
He said... this guy's the mastermind for the biggest man in the world! [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and the Secretary General]
Mr. President. Do you really have good control of your government? Do you realize I'm being blackmailed?
Blackmailed?
I am to supply all secret technical data on biochemistry, cytology, gene technology... and if I refuse, they’ll attack with an atomic missile.
I've been threatened the same way. And to prove that they really mean it, they've already destroyed several of our communication satellites!
I must remind you that it has nothing to do with us.
I do realize it.
Then, do you think that man is...?
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! [Gissinger stops the tape]
It is not necessary to explain to you who these people are. We are interested only in the blackmailer who broke in on the hotline… when they were having a secret conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! The greatest brain in the world. A prophet... or you may call me God!
God?! You must be insane!
For one who calls himself God, your requests are pretty weird...
Requests? This is an order. If you really know what is going on in the world right now, you should know better than this. [Gordon stops the tape]
Let's hear the rest.
Hm? That's enough. The rest is much too sensitive. We are positive that this man really means what he says.
Is that right? [lights a cigarette] Well, anyway... it's got nothing to do with us.
Ah, but it does. Most of the things that Mamaux demands from us was stolen by that man Lupin. The bottom line: we want to know where Mamaux is!
I have no idea at all.
Your hiding won't do you any good! You men have always been working together with that thief Lupin! [Dan hands him Margo’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] What is this?
A clue to find Lupin. It’s written by Lupin's double-crossing girlfriend, and it reads "water".
What does that mean?
If I knew that, neither of us'd be here!
[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Dan Dunn backwards]
Stop kidding me! [grabs Dan by his shirt] There are many ways that we can torture you!
Is that the way you operate democracy?! Well, then, I've got news for you!
What news?
I was a fan of Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart... but not anymore!
Why, you...!
Gordon! These two, they know nothing. [whispers to Gordon, who opens a door] We will approach this problem from a different angle. You will be released immediately.
Be grateful to democracy! [closes the door]
