The Scavengers Movie Script

But you were nowhere to be found.
It was only late this evening that I learned of your friendship with a gentlemen there.
I came only to interrogate him.
Think of that.
If you had found the bonds tonight, I very likely would never have caught up with you.
- Glad you got the bonds now.
- But I don't have them.
- [Stuart] What are you telling me?
I saw your men at the warehouse.
- That was the ambitious Mr. Taggert living up to my expectation of him.
A pathetic waste of effort.
- What?
- The bonds are not in those crates, Mr. Allison.
As an avid student of diversionary tactics, you should have expected that.
Although I needed their services, I never felt able to trust Mr. Taggert or Mrs. Allison.
Therefore when I sent them here, I give them a complex set of instructions designed to make them believe that the bonds would be concealed among a collection of curios that I had instructed Mrs. Allison to buy at an auction in Macao.
But the plan was actually much simpler than that.
Before Mrs. Allison left Japan, I gave her a small going away present.
A travelling trunk.
Unknown to her, the trunk was equipped with a cleverly devised secret compartment just large enough to accommodate the bonds.
The bonds were placed in the compartment while she was away from her hotel in Macao.
So you see Mr. Allison, no one has the bonds yet.
They are waiting in a trunk at the Astor Hotel.
You will help me get them.
You will call up the room clerk at the Astor, and tell him you are sending someone to fetch Mrs. Allison's luggage right now, if you please.
