Danger: Diabolik (Diabolik)

All right? How we doing?

The last bag.

All plain paper.

Very clever.

Do you know, I wonder how security would feel

if they knew they were guarding wastepaper

instead of $10 million?

Well, seems to be it.

We're ready.

It's the largest single shipment

of dollars ever made, at 6:00 in the morning.

Mm-hmm.

If you'll please sign here, Inspector.

Hmm. Right.

I've never seen such precautions

just to reach the port.

The whole underworld

worries me less than a single man.

Diabolik?

Excuse me. They're waiting for you, Inspector.

Good luck.

That makes it exactly 10 million dollars.

All right, you can take that away.

Here.

Splendid. Just splendid.

And dignified, too.

They're meant to be diplomats?

Uh, they're our best men.

Ah,

You're a diplomat. Look sophisticated.

You're a man of the world, polished, witty, bored.

What's that?

Here, put it in your hat.

And these.

Right, let's go.

This is aerial surveillance ship number one.

Now over port zone. Nothing suspicious.

Repeat, nothing suspicious.

Embarkation to proceed as scheduled. Over.

Right. Over and out.

What the?

What's going on?

Inspector, what happened?

I don't know.

For God's sake, get back to the Rolls-Royce.

Oh, ah, beg your pardon,

- Inspector. - I'm so sorry, Inspector.

Idiots.

Where's the Rolls?

It disappeared.

What are you talking about?

We turned around, Inspector,

And it was gone, just like that.

Inspector, look!

Hey. Attention.

This is helicopter one to coast patrol,

helicopter one to coast patrol.

Attention. Attention.

Jaguar spotted, turned off main highway,

heading for coast district.

Okay, roger. Let's go.

Hey.

Eva.

Oh.

Be quick.

Yes. Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir"? Don't try to "Yes, sir" me, sir.

- You either. - Yes, sir.

What am I going to say to the prime minister?

- "Yes, sir"? - Yes, sir.

No, sir.

I am going to have to come up with some brilliant idea.

Otherwise, he's going to find

a new minister of the interior,

and the next man may not have the same understanding

of police methods as I have.

Can you grasp that?

- No, sir. - Preposterous to think

that one man can make a fool of the entire police force.

We're a laughingstock in the world press,

and our own newspapers are screaming for action.

And that is precisely what I intend to give them:

vigorous, clear-sighted action.

Now, firstly, it is obvious

to the logical and well-trained mind

that the first thing that Diabolik is going to do

is to get those dollars out of the country.

Logical suggestion, sir.

Hmm. Thank you.

But, I'm afraid, quite useless.

What?

Diabolik will handle the 10 million dollars,

but in some quite different way.

What "quite some different way"?

A way no mind but his could imagine.

Ah, no.

Ladies and gentlemen,

and especially the ladies and gentlemen of the press

who are with me here in this television studio,

this conference has been arranged

with the express purpose

of enabling me to pass on to you

some extremely heartening news.

Your government, ever vigilant,

determined to stamp out,

to crush the current crime wave,

has restored the death penalty.

As a temporary measure, of course.

Faced with this extreme form of punishment,

the socially sick elements of our society

by that, I mean criminals.

Are you referring to Diabolik?

Diabolik?

I assure you that this individual,

whose very name reveals his antagonism

to the established values of our society,

will soon be brought to justice.

This criminal paranoid

seems to have dedicated himself

to a one-man fight against our society.

This black mark, this manifestation

of exaggerated delinquency

has exceeded the boundaries of rational behavior

within and without the legal structure

that is the very basis of our freedom

and way of life.

He also seems to derive a great deal of pleasure

from make, making fun

of our entire police force.

He is certainly not going to make a fool of me.

You want to resign? I want to resign.

The minister wanted to resign.

They accepted the minister's resignation,

but they won't take mine,

and I'm not going to take yours.

- But, chief- - Remember that.

But if it's any sort of consolation to you,

I've managed to get you the special powers you wanted.

But how these special powers are going to help you

get your hands on Diabolik, I just don't know.

They might, indirectly.

All right.

If you've got a plan, go ahead,

and with every blessing.

But this time, remember, we want results.

Inspector,

we've discovered a center for drug traffic.

It's one of Valmont's nightclubs. We have it surrounded.

Police! The police!

It's a raid! It's a raid!

Pull over, boys. The club is surrounded.

- You're all under arrest. - Get over there now. Line up.

Ah, every rule that we have at home is firewood.

If anyone cuts, Valmont.

- You promised us more action. - Oh, yeah, well, it is.

I run the best house in town.

All bets, clean fun.

Once a week, maybe we

And we get it up the river.

They've been inside for hours. Such a waste of us.

- Now they go- - Mm.

And they up and ruin me, just like that!

If you are not behind us, Valmont,

we'll withdraw from the syndicate.

I'm sorry to hear you say that, Frank, hmm?

Dead sorry.

What flowers would you like me to order, hmm?

No, no, really. What flowers?

Frank, you boys,

you don't know when to put your heads down.

We must wait for now.

We're outside the three-mile limit, luckily.

Who's that? Must be Stud.

All the stuff is gone, boss.

- When? - Last night.

You say all the narcotics?

Hmm.

You see, Stud, you've brought bad news.

Cut it out!

That's enough, Ginko.

Get lost.

Ginko. Yes?

- This is Valmont. - Valmont?

How surprising to hear from you.

I'm calling you, Inspector, on behalf of law and order.

Good.

I would like us to make a little bargain, Inspector.

Really now? Bargain with the police?

I've got a good job.

Since when do I make bargains with your kind?

For once, we've got special powers.

Diabolik will manage to lose you your job.

You can always apply to me.

You'll find yourself better off.

You'll be more warmly dressed, and,

and your women, less.

Would be more concerned

for your comfort than mine, Valmont.

When we catch you, you won't get off with a 30-year sentence.

Not anymore.
