So you want to get rid of him?
Speaking as a professional,
Do you think it’s possible?
It’s possible.
The point is getting away with it.
Speaking as a professional, that’s an important consideration.
But, in principle, you’d say it could be done?
Yes. With enough time and planning.
Would be much more difficult than most other targets.
Why more?
De Gaulle has the best security.
Their information is first-class.
You see, gentlemen, not only have your own efforts failed,
…but you’ve queered the pitch for everyone else.
How dare you suggest—
You can’t afford to be emotional.
It’s why you’ve made so many mistakes.
But if we decided to employ a professional—
You have to employ a professional.
Your organization is so riddled with informers
that nothing you decide is a secret for long.
The job would have to be done by an outsider.
The only question is: by whom and for how much?
Will you do it?
Yes.
How much?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime job.
I could never work again.
How much do you want?
Half a million, in cash.
What?
Half in advance, and half on completion.
Half a million francs?
Dollars.
Are you mad?
You’ll get France in return.
I’d have thought it a reasonable price.
If you can’t manage it, there’s nothing more to be said.
We accept.
