Murderers' Row (1966) - full transcript

[Rumbling]

[Machine bleeping]

Well, gentlemen,

the dream has come true.

Hmm. And not just
for Republicans.

We will control
the most powerful bomb

in the universe:

The sun.

When do we strike?

Not at a model,
but at Washington itself?

We will strike
within 10 days.



Thanks to our colleague here,

the first man ever
to break the security

of American intelligence
and counter-espionage.

He has cracked the I.C.E.,
so to speak.

And now we have
positive identification

of all their top agents.

[Julian]
These gentlemen

have ceased to amuse me.

Still their voices forever.

What?

Kill them!

[Explosion]

[Explosion]

I'm cold.

[Shivering]

Well, wait till you get
your costume on.

Well, you're supposed
to look cold.

You're miss January.

[Sighs]

What a way
to start the year.

All right, honey,
in front of the map.

Oh, I've never been
to Minnesota.

Well, you're there now,
and it's mighty cold,

so let me see
those goosebumps.

Oh, good girl.

[Chuckles]

Now a little to the left.

I want to catch you
right near duluth.

Why, that's my best feature.

[Matt]
All right, now you

just lower your left arm

'cause we don't want
to h-h-hide the twin cities.

[Camera clicks]

Perfect.

Oh, you're
some tricky fellow.

Well, I wanted to get
the real you.

It's all real.

All right,
you can change now.

Well, was I all right?

Oh, better than that.

Usually I have trouble
with a new girl. But not you.

You can go out
the back way.

Well, what should I do
with the costume?

Drop it in the ashtray.

[Device beeping]

Good morning, Mr. Helm.

Well, good morning, lovey.

Mmm.
Anything important?

Ah, just that letter
from Mr. Graham.

It can wait.
Have your juice

and coffee first.

All right.

There's nothing like
fresh orange juice.

Still on the calendar layout?

Oh, yeah.

November and December
were here last night.

Just finished, uh, January.

And February's on the way.

You look beat.

Well, I've had
a rough winter.

Now where'd we leave off
yesterday?

Um, "dear Mr. Graham,

thank you for the kind offer
to join your new magazine."

But after taking care
of a few loose ends,

I plan an extended vacation.

I'm going to roam all over

this great big,
beautiful land of ours

and explore
every cranny and nook

and hill and Dale

that I ever dreamed of
in my youth.

Cordially...

No, make that "warmly" yours.

And warmly yours.

[Telephone ringing]

[Telephone ringing]

[Telephone ringing]

Lovey, what's July
doin' here?

I haven't even
buttoned up January.

That was April.
Spring will be

a little late.

Good. I'm goin' in
and lying down.

[Door opening]

I'm July.

I believe it.

Uh, lovey will show you
your costume.

We're going to do
the spirit of '76.

76? Are you kidding?

I'm only a 44.

Well, that's patriotic
enough for me.

[Telephone ringing]

Hello.

Matt? MacDonald.

We're in a terrible jam.

Well, so am I.

[MacDonald]
Matt, listen, you've--

i'm-- I'm hangin' up.

Matt, the situation
is desperate.

You're tellin' me.
February isn't here yet,

uh, July is 4 months early,
and April's 3 months late.

30 days has September.

[Telephone ringing]

[Sighs]

I got under the blankets
to warm up.

January's such a cold month.

I never thought
I'd live to say this,

but all I want to do is
lie down here quietly.

I'm tired.
Now be a good girl

and go on home. Mmm?

Well, that's not the Matt helm
I heard so much about.

It does seem
a little ridiculous,

doesn't it?

Mmm.

But I mean it, now.
You go on out like a lamb.

Well, that's march.

I want to wish you
happy new year.

Well, I'm glad
you talked some sense into me.

[Chuckling]

What's this?

Now you've done it.

We're going to take
the plunge.

Oh, I just had
my hair done.

Let me go! Let me go!

I think I'd better walk in.

Oh, no.

Let go of me.

We'll go in together.

Let me go, huh?

Let me go!

Let me go, please.
Let me go!

Not the Matt helm
you've heard of.

[Miss January screaming]

[Electricity buzzing]

Thank you, furnas.

So long, Matt.

[Glass shattering]

[Car honking]

You're late.

Thanks.

I'm sorry
I missed my funeral.

How'd it go?

Great.
The tears would have

done your heart good.

Matt helm is dead,
and he's going to stay dead.

Well, now just
a darn minute.

That's direct
from the white house, Matt.

Well, I ain't votin'
for him again.

[Sighing]
It's up to you.

Shall we, uh,

look at some pictures?

Hey, your own
drive-in movie. Huh?

There's a car just like this
waitin' for you.

Where?

We'll get to it.

Hey, double feature.

That's the French
riviera, Matt.

Cannes,
to be exact.

You're exact.

[Matt]
Hey, valley

of the giants.

[MacDonald]
That device they tried

to kill you with

was developed by our
own scientists, Matt.

It's called a helio-beam.

That's the man
that invented it.

[Matt]
But when did

he find time?

His name is
Dr. Norman solaris.

He's, uh, been vacationing
on the riviera.

How did you tear him
away from the lab?

He's been working
on this invention for years.

And now he has
a super-helio-beam.

I figured he had somethin'.

This beam can
knock out an army, Matt,

a city, a continent!

It can bring peace
or complete annihilation.

It's a dreadful
responsibility.

I can see
it's, uh, weighing heavily

on his mind.

2 days before
he was supposed to meet

with the president,

solaris suddenly
disappeared.

Defected, kidnapped,
we don't know.

Maybe he was just worn out.

Just vanished
without a trace.

Have you looked
under any beds?

Mmm-hmm.

Matt, whoever has solaris
is trying to build that beam.

We haven't got much time.

Any leads at all?

Mmm-mmm.

This is a rare type ore, Matt.

It's called
helio-magnesium-x4.

I liked the other
measurements better.

This x4 is essential
to the operation

of the super-beam.

There's a huge load of it
on its way now

across the mediterranean.

You find out
its destination,

and we believe
you'll find solaris.

You'll be operating
out of monte Carlo.

Mighty pretty country
down around there.

Her name is Dominique.

You'll be, uh,
working very closely

with her.

As close as I can get.

Oh, and by the way,

your name will be
James a. Peters.

[Clicking]

Ah!

Matt, now I'm going
to throw you a curve.

And it's a big one.

If you find solaris,

we want you to get him out
if you can, naturally.

But if you can't,
you...

You're gonna have
to kill him.

We can't risk what he knows
getting over to the enemy.

Why do I always get
the fun jobs?

Because you're the only one
I can trust.

Matt, for the first time,

there's been a break
in the security in I.C.E.

There's a traitor among US.
A double agent.

That's why only 2 people
know you're still alive.

Me and the president.

And that's why
you'll be operating

strictly on your own.

You can't even contact me.

You understand?

Right.

Oh, and, Matt, uh,

one other thing.

What I, uh,
what I just said to you

about solaris

applies to you as well.

I don't get you.

Matt, they can brainwash
a vacuum cleaner.

They'd have you
killin' for them,

you wouldn't even know
you were doing it.

So if they grab you,
you get in a jam,

you can't get out...

I understand.

Good boy.

I ain't goin'.

[Tires screech]

[Jet engine roaring]

[Woman speaking French

[People chattering]

[Clicking]

Good old Mac.

[Sighs]

[MacDonald]
Put me down!

Mmm?

You don't have time
to sit around drinking.

You've got work to do.

Yes, it's me.

Imagine doin' that
to a beautiful bottle

of booze.

I figured this
was the surest way

to get your orders to you.

Contact Dominique
immediately.

Hotel du gide,
Avenue St. germain.

Ah, shut up!
I'll fix you, boy.

I-I'll join the a.A.,
and you won't have

anybody to talk to.

You say one word
and I'll kill you.

Ah! Now you're talkin'.

Stop it!

[Laughing]

[Laughing]
Stop.

Oh, stop it!

No matter how many times
I stare at the sun

setting on the riviera,

it never fails to excite me.

Especially
if a young girl

with nothing on

is sitting there, too.

You can be such an angel.

And I may arrange it.

[People chattering]

Uh, mister.
Uh, monsieur.

Mister will do.

Oh, got a little fire?

Well, where shall I start?

I never forget a face.

I think I saw you
in a movie, a drive-in.

No. No, I work
in a record shop.

Um, are you a friend
of Dominique's?

Oh, no.
A fellow from the states

asked me to say hello.

Well, I don't think
she's in today.

Oh, no. She's out.

Well, thanks for the light.

Don't mention it.

Um, by the way,
who shall I say was calling?

Oh, uh,
I don't think it would mean

very much to her.

Coco.

Mmm!

It is a beautiful sunset.

Now there's something
for all of US to see.

Hi. Still looking, huh?

Dominique
hasn't come in yet.

I don't know
where she is.

This is dancin'?

It's called a discotheque.
Do you want to try?

Well, I don't disc.

Oh!
Whoops!

[Chuckles]

♪[Lively pop music playing]

[Laughing]

Oh, that's great.

And you said
you couldn't dance.

[Whooping]

[Exclaims]

[Exclaims]

Hey, you'll-- you'll break
somethin'. Up--up--up!

[Whoops]

It's like directing traffic.

No!
No?

[Whoops]

[Suzie shrieks]

Don't you think
we should be

introduced first?

Hey, now
you're swingin', dad.

Dad?

He calls everybody dad.

Don't he know?

It's a wise son
who knows his own father.

The way they're wearin'
their hair nowadays

it's a wise father
who knows his own son.

He came here right from
Dominique's apartment.

He's dancing with a girl now.

No, I have no idea who he is.

Maybe
we'll find out afterwards,

from his widow.

When did you
see her last?

Who?

Whoa!

[Whoops]

You mean Dominique?
I don't know.

Sometime today.

Why?

Well... oh, I've...

Well...

Mademoiselle,
we regret to inform you,

Dominique has been murdered.

Dead?

Yes, mademoiselle.

An American was seen
driving a thunderbird.

[Thumping]

[People clamoring]

I hate a guy
that wears jewelry.

[Speaking in French]

I must-- I must protest.

I must--

hey, hey,
thanks for the help.

Oh, an American?

[Speaking in French]

Yeah. Why?

[Speaking French]

Hey, you speak English?

Very well.
Yes.

You're under arrest.

[Matt speaking French]

[Julian]
That's him. That's the man.

No doubt about it.

You are positive?

Absolutely.

He's the one
we saw leaving

that poor woman's room.

Thank you, monsieur wall.

And you, madame?

Oh, now just
a doggone minute!

I got some rights, too.
I am an American citizen.

We will play
the star-spangled banner

when you're in
the electric chair.

Ah, then I have to stand up.

Madame duquette,
can you identify this man?

She can.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Naturally,
one wants to be sure.

A man's life is at stake.

The truth of the matter is,

I was watching the sunset.

No matter how many times,

it never fails to excite me.

I really couldn't be sure.

Oh, you're a sweet, warm,
wonderful human being.

We still have
one more witness.

What is this, bastille day?
You know, where I come from,

I have the right
to be picked out of a lineup.

And so you shall.

[Whistles]

All right,
line up over there.

Don't tell mom about this.

Well, here we are,
Patty, Maxine, and Laverne.

We're ready, captain.
The girl is outside.

[Captain]
Send her in.

She'll never be able
to tell US apart.

Take your time,
mademoiselle.

And do not be afraid.

Who's afraid?

It's not him.

It's not him.

Got a little fire?

It's not him, either.

Are you certain? Look again.

I'm positive.
He's not the one.

[Captain]
How about you,

monsieur orcutt?

I can't tell.
I was underwater

a good deal of the time.

I have never been surer
of anything in my life.

Well, we're very
civic-minded and all that,

but it is getting late,

and if there's nothing else
we can do here...

Good night, captain.

Come along, Julian.

Maybe we can find somebody
for you to run over

on the way home.

Uh, I must ask you
to stay available to US,

monsieur Peters.

Mmm.

Thanks, fellas.
We--we made a great team.

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir, Laverne!

No, I'm Maxine.
That's Laverne.

Arrivederci.

Why did you lie?

I have my reasons.

I don't want him in jail.

The visiting hours
are so inconvenient.

But why did
the girl lie?

I have to talk to you.
Meet me at my place

in an hour. Ok?

Hey, hey, wait a minute.
Hold it. Not so fast,

little girl.

How come in there...
How come?

Well, at the pool today.
When I said thanks

for the light,

you said, "don't mention it."

Yeah?

So I didn't.

I just had to
make sure, Billy.

A person doesn't want
to make a mistake

about something
as important as that.

[Suzie]
Who is it?

Your old dancin' partner.

Come in.

♪[Soft music playing]

Cute place you got here.

I've been waiting for you.

The room service
ain't bad, either.

I, um,

I want you
to come over to my side.

I'll make it
worth your while.

You already have.

[Moans]

She hired you, didn't she?

She had you kill Dominique.

Who?

Who?

Coco duquette.

You've done other jobs
for her, haven't you?

Well, if you say so.

Where's Norman?

Norman?

Come on. Come on,
you owe me one.

Norman solaris.
Where is he?

I never heard of him.

All right, get out of here.

Oh, now I know
why you took me off the hook

with the police.

You thought I knew something
about this fellow, solaris.

That's right.

[Matt]
What's he to you?

What's the difference?

Look, coco had something
to do with this.

She's a bad guy,
and she's capable of anything.

And what are you?

You think I'm a murderer,

you lie to the police
on a chance that you'd

find your boyfriend--

he is not my boyfriend!

[Sighs]

Norman solaris is my father.

He's never wanted it known.
Vanity, I guess.

Well, I'm sorry
to disappoint you,

but I don't know
anything about it.

Now you figure it out
for yourself.

If this coco girl
hired me to do the job,

she wouldn't have shown up
at the police station.

And I ain't no murderer.

Now, what makes you
so positive she is?

Jealousy, revenge.

My father and Dominique
were pretty good friends

for a while.

Then coco came along.

Coco wanted him for coco.

She really fell for him?

He was here on vacation.
Vacations end.

Coco didn't want it to.

Look, maybe I'm all wrong.

He can take care of himself.
Only this time...

I don't know.
I've got the funniest feeling

that she's mixed up
in it somehow.

Well, I figure that
if anybody's the heavy,

it's her husband,
that monsieur wall.

They're not married.

You mean they hate each other
like that for nothin'?

She and Julian wall
have been together

for years.

She flaunts
her little side trips

in front of him.

I think it's part
of the arrangement.

Nice people.

[Chuckles]
Rich people.

That island out there,
he owns it.

Shipyards, boats, yachts.

Barges?

A whole fleet of them.

I think I'll come over
to your side.

Well, i--i don't have
very much to offer.

You-you're puttin' me on.

[Chuckles]
I didn't mean...

I didn't think you did.

But we'll think of something.
In the meantime, now,

don't-- don't you go
tellin' anybody

about your family tree,

'cause whoever grabbed him
might grab you.

And if there's any grabbin'
to be done around here...

[Rattling]

I demand an explanation.

What is the meaning of this
nocturnal assignation?

Is he rehearsing
for a play?

I think it's only fair
to advise you, sir,

that I have boxed
3 years for Yale.

Well, I think
that's very sporting of you

to warn me, old boy.

Good night, miss magnolia.

[Laughing]
Good night.

I intend to stand guard here
for the rest of the evening.

Don't look at me.

I'm going out
to place a big bet

on, uh, Harvard.

[Man over P.A.]
Stay where you are.

If you try to escape,
we will shoot.

[Machines rattling]

Well, welcome to Disneyland.

[Julian]
Well, well, well.

Forgive me,

but I don't believe
I got your name

at the police station.

Peters. Jim Peters.

I sell American
postcards. No offense.

Well, what are you
doing here?

To tell you the truth,
i--i was having a barbecue.

I ran out of charcoal.

I am going to keep
doing that

every time I hear
an answer I don't like.

Shall we try again?

What are you doing here?

Oh, I heard, uh, rumors
around the waterfront

and I figured
if I got somethin' on you,

it might be worth money
to somebody.

What rumors?

Oh, about some kind of ore.

Now that was a good answer.
I liked that one.

Hey, I'm glad.

[Clanging]

Now can you give me
one good reason

why I shouldn't drop you
to the pavement?

Certainly:
I'll get killed.

Besides, I can, uh, tell you
where I get all my leads.

Where?

Oh, not while I'm up
in this shovel, mister.

What were you doing
in Dominique avignon's

apartment?

Oh, a fellow in the states,
he gave me her number.

39-26-34.

The girl from the discotheque,

we know you were
in her flat last night, too.

We will have to do
something about her.

Oh, I tried.
Nothing.

[Exclaims]

Well, what do you think?
Shall I?

Why? We can
always kill him.

Your way takes longer.

I think we should
check him out

with our contact
in Washington.

There may be more
to Mr. Peters

than meets the eye.

True.

Although what meets
the eye isn't bad.

Wrap him up.

[Matt]
You I like.

And you,
you'll come along nicely.

have you anything to tell me?

I'm afraid not, sir.

And what about the computers?

Sir, they've tapped
the preliminary formula,

We still don't have
the bending principle.

Some garbled equations
are coming out,

but we need solaris himself
to explain them.

And, uh, he still
won't crack.

Then make him crack.

I don't care how you do it,
but make him crack.

2 dogs: The poodle
and the missus.

Well, what about
your organization?

What is happening at I.C.E.?

Some kind of shake-up's
in the works.

MacDonald is on
his way over there.

Be careful.

Well, what for?

I have the protection
of Chicago's top torpedo.

That's all. Thank you.

It would be rather amusing

if Mr. MacDonald
were to be, uh...

Oh, what's the expression?

Uh--uh, r-rubbed out
by a fellow American.

[Laughs]

I think you will enjoy

working in our organization,
Mr. Petrone.

Yeah? What's the pay?

Oh, we'll discuss that
another time.

There won't be
any problem.

There are so many
fringe benefits.

Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.

[Laughing]

Uh, do we have any photographs
of Mr. MacDonald?

I'll look.
Do.

I would like to show them
to Mr. Petrone.

You may take him
back to his room now.

No, you wait here.

I will want you to
run over and check

on that discotheque
a little later on.

Oh, did I tell you?

Since you're already wanted
for one murder,

we didn't think you'd mind
if you were wanted

for another.

That girl. What's her name?

The one you were
with last night?

Suzie?

Uh-huh. Yes.

She is rather naughty,
you know.

And she seems to have
a grudge against coco.

And evidently she knows
a bit too much

about what's going on
around here.

So you have sent her
a little gift today.

Uh-huh.

Susan Hamilton?

Yes.

Oh! For me?

Oh.

Oh, look at this.
It's beautiful.

From Billy?

No. Uh-uh.

"Thanks for last night.
Jim Peters."

Welcome to monte Carlo.

Oh, it wasn't
what you think.

It never is.

Cigarette.

I'd offer you one
but it's the last one I got.

Oh, fun.

Me, too. They're

Now, give me the keys.

Shut up. Just

We came
in Suzie's car.

It's over there.
The little black one.

Oh, great.

It has safety belts.

For bullets?

[Suzie groans]

It's the police. We're saved.

And I wanna

Alive?

I don't know exactly

He's alive!
Thank you. Oh, he's alive!

Oh, yeah, he's alive.
Boy, is he alive.

Hey. Hey.

You know what I want

Get me a boat.

Mmm?

[Boat engine droning]

[Clicks]

Now you stay
on this boat and you wait.

And if you see
or hear anything

that isn't me
or your father,

you get out and get out fast,
you understand?

Why are you doing this?

I mean, really, why?

Oh,

'cause I'm one of america's
top secret agents

and I don't want b.I.G.O.

To take over the world.

Come on, I'm serious.

You ask a silly question...

Just remember, Suzie,
nobody dies for nothing.

Not me, not
your father, nobody.

Be careful.

Oh, you can do
better than that.

Huh?

[Man]
Yes, Mr. Wall,

the entire shipment
has been delivered.

It is already
being energized.

Good.

This is Julian wall

advising you that
the final shipment of x4

has arrived
exactly on schedule.

It is being processed.

I promise you
that within the hour,

the capital of
the United States

will be destroyed.

[All laughing on screens]

I will keep in close touch
with all of you.

Well, rogas?

Solaris has begun to talk.

Good.

We've learned how
to curve the beams,

but we still don't know
what triggers

the joining mechanism.

What do you mean?

There's one equation missing.

He won't budge.

Well, make him.

He's very weak.

Make him!

Make him!
I give you one hour.

One hour, Dr. Rogas!

[Beeping]

Halt!

Certainly.

Well, if it isn't
frosty the snowman.

[Laughs]
No, you may not

leave the room.

[Crackling]

What are you,
a traffic cop?

Oh, the pigeons are
gonna love you.

[Chuckles]

I'm terribly sorry,
i--i seem to be lost.

Uh, Mr. Wall sent me to
interview the prisoner.

And I just can't
seem to find my way.

Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Much obliged.

You did a fine job, pal,
but I'm afraid

this is the only
thing that'll get

both of US out of here.

Daddy.

Oh!

What are you doing?

You're trying to kill him.

Penny for your thoughts.

Daddy?
Daddy, are you all right?

[Julian]
Well, well, well...

He has a daughter.

Hmm.

We have been working
on the wrong solaris.

Bring them up.

Now, instead of
being pushed around,

I ought to get a medal.

A medal?
Yeah.

Oh, I knew she was
solaris' daughter.

That's why I saved her life
and brought her here.

I figured she was more
valuable to you alive.

Very good.

I don't believe you,
but very good.

Dr. Solaris,

there seems to be
a missing equation.

Now may we have it?

No.

Oh, come now, doctor.

Men of goodwill have done

a perfectly dreadful job
of running the world.

Perhaps it's time
for a change.

Admit it.

I can't do much worse.

Oh, I think you can.
I have faith in you.

[Man]
Mr. Wall, an urgent call

from our Washington man.

Yes?

We're here in monte Carlo,

MacDonald, the whole group.

I think he's on to something.

Kill him.

What?

Kill them all.

Set up your apparatus
and destroy I.C.E.

I had no chance
to bring the apparatus.

There was no time.

I don't care how you do it.

I want MacDonald dead now.

MacDonald.

Why don't you
let me handle him?

I would,
but I just don't think

you're going to
live that long.

Dr. Solaris.

[Door opening]

She certainly has
good taste.

She picked
my chicest outfit.

Well!

You look stunning.

Thank you.

I believe just a dash of red.

Yes?

Watch the dress.

Well, Dr. Solaris,

in a little while,
Washington traffic

will be at its height.

Operation scorch will kill
a great many people.

We call it
operation scorch.

Catchy title.

It's up to you, doctor.

My colleagues are waiting.

Where do we begin?

Oh, hey. Hold...

You talked me into it.

You--you get MacDonald
on one of those things

and I'll talk to him.

We'll play a little game,
"what's my line?"

May I?

I deal in services and
I'm bigger than a breadbox.

Now, who am I?

He's Matt helm.

Huh? We got a winner.

You are dead.

I'm beginning to believe it.

Look, I'll tell you what,
I'll make a deal with you.

You call off the heat,
I'll call off the I.C.E.

I'll tell MacDonald
you were wiped out.

They'll go on home.
That'll give you more time,

give me more time.

Crazy?

Traitor.

No doubt about it.

I like it.

A call just came in on
our special frequency.

Get it back.

And monitor the call.

If they try to
trace US, jam 'em.

Would you fill this up?

I always like to take
a little straight bourbon

before I talk to Mac,

'cause he
wouldn't recognize me

if I was sober.

[Man]
We're ready

with the call, sir.

One wrong word,
wrong inflection...

Thank you.

Mac, it's Matt.
I got news.

Matt, are you all right?

[Matt]
Oh, couldn't be better.

As a matter of fact,
I'm standing here

having a nice little
glass of bourbon.

[MacDonald]
What's news about that?

Oh, celebrating.

I just thought you'd
like to know that, uh...

Well, mission accomplished.

Solaris alive,
and, uh, happy ending u.S.A.

Great, Matt. Great.

Fill me in.
How was it? Pretty rough?

Well, you know,
it was warm for a while.

What's a little heat
among friends?

I'll tell you all about it.

Ok, Matt.

Good boy. You wind up
things at your end,

and I'll meet you at
the new headquarters.

I'll see you
back in Washington.

Right, bye.

[All]
Congratulations.

Save it. Save it.

Matt helm never took
a drink of bourbon

in his life.

And the new headquarters
are at Baltimore,

not Washington.

He must have said Washington
because that must be the hit.

Give the order
to evacuate Washington.

Now.

Hold it. Hold everything,
just a second.

One other thing.
Matt also said:

"What's a little
heat among friends?"

Mmm?

Heat, heat
among friends.

[MacDonald]
Padgett, Levinson.

Butler, furnas, whitmo--

furnas!

[Glass shattering]

[Beeping]

Well done, Mr. Helm.

There may be a place
in our organization

for you after all.

[Man]
Mr. Wall, Mr. Wall. Urgent.

Yes.

I monitored the call
as you ordered.

Something came in
after you finished.

From furnas.

Well?

I could barely hear him.

He said: "Matt helm's call
was a trick.

"Some kind of code.

MacDonald knows."

He also said: "We won't be
hearing from him anymore."

[Thudding]

Take him.

MacDonald knows, does he?

Well, he's too late.

Dr. Solaris,

are you going to tell US
how to operate your invention,

or would you rather see

your daughter
tortured to death?

The next one will be closer.

[Machinery whirring]

No, it doesn't go
with the outfit.

What a way to finish.

For a guy that drank
booze all his life

to end up
like a milkshake.

[Screams]

[Gasps]

[Julian]
Stay.

I have one spear left, doctor.

Don't tell him.

Don't look and don't tell him.

Wait.

[Machinery whirring]

[Electronic buzzing]

It's all set.

Let her go.

She will be our guest
for a while.

Take her to
the guest quarters.

I'm waiting.

[Buzzing increases]

The beams are on their way.

[Machinery whirring]

Oh, wait a minute.

I wanna watch this.

I want to see him get
what's coming to him.

Well, I don't know.
We better--

please.

He tried to kill my father.

Ok.

It's remarkable equipment.

Dr. Rogas invented it.
I'm his nephew.

Oh!

Please.

When the selenium
rectifier retracts,

the oscillation increases.

You don't say.

It breaks down
the rheostatic vibro-voltage

to a minimal .360
on the oscilloscope.

Cute.

Magnesium transformer.

Multivator circuit,
inverted radium shield.

All absolutely impregnable
against dust, heat, cold,

rust, erosion.
Bulletproof, too.

Wow.

[Banging]

[Electronic squeaking]

[Explosion]

[Explosions sounding]

Attention all power units,
this is Dr. Rogas.

There has been a failure
in the multivator circuit.

Man your respective stations
for an immediate check

of the entire v.T.V.M. System.

The selenium rectifier,
the c.R.T.,

the multivator frequency,

the energized oscilloscope.
I repeat.

The selenium rectifier.

You, you. Cover the door.

I'll finish the job myself.

[Gun clicks]

[Gun fires]

Hey.

Knock it off.

That's what I say,
Charley, knock it off.

[Both grunting]

[Grunts]

Uh, maybe it's this one?
Or this--

no, don't touch that.
That's the magnet.

What?

The magnet.

Oh.

Well, I was only
trying to help.

But don't touch that.

Matt! Behind you.

[Metal dinging]

[Explosion]

[Gun fires]

[Machine gun firing]

The boat! I'll get the boat!

[Gun fires]

[Machine gun firing]

[Machine gun fires]

[Gun clicking]

And now if you'll
excuse me, doctor.

No.

You are right.

[Gun firing]

I give up.

I can't go on.

7, 8, 9...

[Clicking]

Where's wall?

It's no use.

He's controlling the beam
from the hovercraft,

out there.

[Engine whirring]

They're right behind US, sir.

[Explosion]

Well, shoot back.

With what?

Oh, good shot.

[Explosions sounding]

If he aims like
that at Washington,

he'll hit Pittsburgh.

[Explosion sounding]

He's yawing!

I don't feel
so good myself.

Mr. Matt helm.

Our operation scorch
is on its way.

No, nothing can stop it now.

Go ahead and shoot.

I have failed, just shoot.

If you say so.

[Clicks]

[Clicks]

[Gun firing]

Clever.

If you say so.

Excuse me.

Who's ahead?

The game is over.

[Glass tinkling]

There they are.

Naturally.

I majored in navigation
while I was at Yale.

It's Billy!

A boat and a helicopter.

I'm sending
all my kids to Yale.

Polka dot shorts!

The only way to fly.

Oh, that was a marvelous
welcome home party.

Yeah, and the party
hasn't even started.

Oh, yeah?

I like being back in america.

I love it.
I love every nook and cranny.

Every hill and Dale.

Easy, I get a little ticklish
west of the Mississippi.

[Laughing]

One thing I really do miss,
though, about monte Carlo,

being able to take
a plunge in the water,

any time, day or night.
