With this injection and
the rays penetrating his brain,

I will control his mind.

Connect the electrodes.



Thanks to your inventions, Doctor,

they won't stand a chance.

Lieutenant!
What brings you here?

An investigation, as always.

I've been hearing
about your discoveries.

How are they coming along?

I'd say the stories you we heard
have been blown out of proportion.

We still have a long way to go,

but my colleagues and I
are working hard.

To what do we owe
the pleasure, Lieutenant?

Nothing in particular,

I just wanted
to say hello to the doctor.

How is your assistant, Doctor?

He's been a great asset.

Please, take a seat.

What would you
like to drink, Elisa?

Nothing.
Thank you, Doctor.

We wanted to remind you
about your appointment.

My appointment?

Yes, with Dr Lowel

Today, at 3:30 pm.

Oh, Dr Lowel

Of course! What would I do
without my secretary?

We have a very important
meeting with Dr Lowel,

to discuss cell disintegration.

I'm glad you mentioned him.

Some of my agents
are guarding him,

and I believe that
you also need protection.

Protection? Me?

Are you suggesting someone
wants to harm me?

I am.

The same gang that kidnapped
Dr Sancesco and Dr Fumagayo.

It's three o'clock already.
Dr Lowel will be out soon.

No funny business!
Hands up!

Move it!

The Masked Man!

Hide them, quick!

Wait, you aren't the same men.

We changed shifts, Doctor.

All right, let's go.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Scientist

Renowned Scientist Dr Lowel
vanishes Mysteriously, Leaving No Clues.

Authorities Fear for His Life.

Send in Agents Sandoval and Enriquez.

I trusted you with Dr Lowel

and he was kidnapped
right under your noses.

We had the situation
under control, Lieutenant.

Believe it or not, the Masked Man
helped them get away.

The Masked Man?

Our best agent,
working with them?

Do you expect me to believe that?

That's what happened, sir.

He was acting strangely.

He moved like a robot.

This is all very strange.

Are you completely sure
it was him?

Yes, sir.

You're sure?

Is there any news of
the Masked Man?

He hasn't checked in
for 48 hours.

These criminals are
very well organised.

We must leave no stone unturned.

I had firm orders from my superiors,

and it was my duty
to catch those crooks.

I decided to charter a speedboat

and check out the loading docks.

After investigating for several hours,

I had unearthed a clue.

Dr Campos, we're from the Bureau.

How it!
Be careful.

The Bureau?
What can I do for you?

Nothing, thank you.

We've been assigned
to your protection.

My protection?
That sounds a little exaggerated.

Who could be interested in me?

The same people who kidnapped
your fellow scientists.

It looks like they're after the
disintegration technique you discovered.

Do you recognise those guys
talking to Dr Campos?

Sure,

they're the cops we roughed up.

Take it easy.
Don't attract their attention.

Let's get out of here
before they see us.

We can wait for the doctor outside.

Okay.

You go first.
I'll be right behind you.

Remember, we need our orders.

I hope you haven't
roughed him up too much.

We had to hit him twice.

We didn't know that bankers
had such hard heads.

Turn on the power.

What are you doing here?
Go and guard the door! Go!

Quick! There's someone
on the roof!

Good morning, Mr Loubé.

What's wrong?

Let's go.

It looks like Elisa
noticed something.

It doesn't matter.
I'll take care of her later.

The banker has followed
my instructions to the letter.

You can stand down.

He did it!

He'll be here with the money
in no time.

Soon this country will be mine,

and then the world
will be at my command!

Elisa...

Bring Elisa here tonight.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

Well-Known Banker Disappears
After Robbing His Own Bank.

Police Put Their Best Agents
on the Case.

Thanks for bringing me here.

I've had so much fun.

You've been working so hard
since the kidnappings.

It's only fair for you
to have some fun.

Would you offer me
the next dance, Professor?

Unfortunately,
I'm a terrible dancer.

But this evening
will still be unforgettable.

Cheers!

Come with us, Professor.
We'll drive you home.

No thanks, Gerardo. You guys go.
I'll go on my own.

Or, rather...

with them.

Elisa...

Be very careful, Professor.
We'll be with you at eight o'clock.

Of course, Gerardo.

Let's go.

It's past two.

They'll be here any moment.

That's her.

Let's go.

This is outrageous!

Why take my secretary?

Perhaps to get her
to reveal your formulas.

No!
That can't be the reason.

I'm the professor's assistant,

so it would make more sense
to kidnap me.

It must be something else.

Could she be linked
to the bank robbery?

Elisa? A robbery?

That's out of the question.

No, Professor,

you misunderstand me.

Yesterday, the bank was robbed
by its own manager,

who then disappeared.

Perhaps Elisa knew something.

That must be it!

She mentioned that the bank manager
was acting strangely.

That must be why
she was kidnapped, Lieutenant.

They must think
she knows something.

And I didn't think
it was important...

Don't worry, Gerardo.

My best men are on the case.

One of them in particular.

I'm convinced that
the scientists' kidnappings

and the bank robbery were
orchestrated by the same person.

Wouldn't you agree, Dr Campos?

Yes, probably.

I think you may be right.

Full house.

Lend me some money.

I'll pay you back tonight,
after the delivery.

Aren't you going to feed the girl?

She's watching her figure.

The doctor doesn't
like fat women.

- How many?
- One.

I'm out.

If you won't
feed the girl, I will.

Always so attentive
to women's needs.

The doctor doesn't like anyone
laying hands on his properly.

You carry on.
I'm out of money.

We have to fetch
the Masked Man.

It's nine-thirty.

The doctor wants him here
when he gets back. Let's go!

Wake up! Wake up!

What's happening?
Why am I here?

- You've been hypnotised.
- Who, me?

Let's go.
I'll explain everything.

Where are we?

Dr Campos' lab.
He hypnotised you.

Keep up the act.

Okay.

Come on!
They're waiting outside.

The light's still on.

These scientists don't get much rest.

What's the hurry?
Why were you speeding?

Don't you know the Maw?

Please forgive me,
I'm in a hurry.

Here, I'm a doctor.

I'll let you go this time,
but be more careful.

Thank you very much.

That way.

Here are your instructions.

- Got it.
- I'll see you at the beach.

Haven't they brought
the money yet?

No, Doctor.

We were expecting them
twenty minutes ago.

Go and see if it's them,
but be careful.

Dr Campos, I hope you
brought the documents.

Yes, Mr Kuri,
and I hope you brought the money.

My bosses always keep their word,
Dr Campos.

These documents will be
in my country in 48 hours.

If there's been any deception...

you know
what's coming your way.

Yes, Mr Kuri.
I'm fully aware.

And I also know
that you will pay double

for the formula
oi cell disintegration.

Cell disintegration?

That's right, Mr Kuri.

It's in this sealed envelope.

I'll bring the money
by this time tomorrow.

- I certainly hope so.
- Goodbye.

Carry on playing-

I've had the documents
since yesterday.

Very well.

Yes, I'll wait here.

Let's go.

Yes, this one's mine.

Please let me know
if anything happens.

I'll be at home.

I'm in no mood to work today.

Don't worry. PH let you know
if there's any news.

Goodbye.

Hello?
Yes, Lieutenant.

I'll use code number 415.
Understood.

Calm down, Gerardo.
Elisa will be back soon.

You heard what the Lieutenant said.

They have a lead.

How can I sit still when
we have no news of her?

What you need is rest, sleep.

Sleep?

How am I supposed to rest,
not knowing what's happened to Elisa?

Nothing like a cocktail
to soothe the nerves.

I find it quite calming.

I hope you like it.

Drink up.
You'll like it.

Come on, kid.

You'll feel much better now.

You fell for it,
you fool!

Elisa is mine, and no-one
will take her from me.

Sergeant,

file these.

Lieutenant Zambrano here.

Lieutenant...

Doc...

Hello?

Hello!

Hello!

Trace that call immediately!

Right away, Lieutenant.

THE POLICE ARE PERPLEXED

Police Are Baffled by the Disappearances
of Dr Lowel and Mr Loubé.

The District Attorney Has Ordered
That They Be Located Immediately.

Hasn't Mr Kuri arrived yet?

That must be him!

You have your orders, Lieutenant.

Yes, colonel

No sirens, and complete silence.
Understood?

Let's go!

Congratulations, Comrade!

This is great work!

My country always keeps its promises.

Kuri, pay the man.

Everybody freeze!

Where's Dr Campos?

He got away with the girl

Hurry!
We might still catch him.

Round them up!
Let's go!

Dr Campos!

You're surrounded!
Surrender!

We'll give you three minutes!

They can't do this to me!

I own the world!

Nothing can stop me!

If you don't surrender,
we'll use tear gas!

You're not going anywhere!

Lieutenant, if you want Elisa dead,
go ahead and gas me out!

What should we do?

Go round the back.

Wait, Lieutenant!
I've- got an idea.

I'm coming out!

Pull your men back,
and no funny business!

Dr Campos, I'm your friend!

We studied together!

No, I don't recognise your voice.

Take off your mask,
so I can see who you are.

I'll show you I'm your friend.

No funny business!
Stop or I'll shoot!

Sure.

You asked for it!

Call an ambulance, quick!

Elisa...

I know I've done wrong.

Now, I realise

that, if I had been different,

maybe I'd have won your heart.

But now, it's too late.

Forgive me.

Forgive...

Professor...

I can't stop thinking
about Dr Campos.

He was a great scientist.

Too much work drove him crazy.

Don't dwell on it.

You have your whole lives
ahead of you,

and aeroplanes don't wait
for newlyweds!

Goodbye.

There go my best friends.

What happened to the Masked Men?

Incognito's injury was not serious.

They're both on the flight.

Where are they from?
Why cover their faces?

They are citizens of the world.

Their duty knows no borders.

They use masks
to hide their identity

for the good of all mankind.
