Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 2 - Memory - full transcript
The IMF's target is Janos Karq, a top official of an unnamed Soviet Bloc country. Briggs enlists the help of Joseph Baresh, an alcoholic performer who has a photographic memory. Baresh will pose as an agent code-named Sparrow, who has never been apprehended by the authorities of Karq's country. (The real Sparrow has died, a fact not generally known.) The idea is that Baresh will be captured and provide information implicating Karq as a traitor. Barney, Cinnamon and Willy, along with Briggs, will engage in an unsuccessful (and fake) attempt to free Sparrow. That move will encourage the authorities to believe Baresh's story, ensuring Karq's demise. But Baresh gets a look at a list of agents in the employ of Karq's nation. Now, Briggs must stage a second escape attempt, this time for real. Rollin Hand, initially passed over for this mission, will play a small, but vital, role.
TAKE IT, MR. BRIGGS.

I ALSO REMEMBER 80,
90 BRANDS OF CHAMPAGNE
FROM LONG AGO...
200 CHEAP WINES
FROM ONLY YESTERDAY...
AND THE ROOM NUMBER
OF EVERY FLOPHOUSE.
NOW, JOSEPH,
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN,
THERE'S A MAN WE'VE
GOT TO REMOVE FROM POWER
WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
HE'S BEEN TRYING TO START
A WAR AND SUCCEEDING,
EVER SINCE HE EXTERMINATED
HIS OPPOSITION.
JANOS KARQ, THE BUTCHER
OF THE BALKANS.
WHEN I GO TO SLEEP,
I ALWAYS COVER MYSELF
WITH A POLITICAL PAGE.
IT'S SOMEHOW WARMER.
AS USUAL,
ASSASSINATION IS OUT,
AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
THAT'S TOO BAD,
YOU KNOW.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO
DESTROY KARQ POLITICALLY
BY MAKING HIM APPEAR
TO BE A TRAITOR.
AND THE REST IS UP
TO HIS OWN PEOPLE.
KARQ'S
HEAD OF INTELLIGENCE
IS A MAN
NAMED DIMITRI SOSKA.
FOR YEARS, SOSKA
HAS BEEN SEARCHING
FOR AN AGENT
CODE-NAMED "SPARROW."
IN A FEW DAYS, SOSKA
WILL CAPTURE SPARROW,
WHO, WHEN QUESTIONED,
WILL REVEAL THAT KARQ
HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US,
SELLING OUT HIS OWN COUNTRY.
WHERE IS SPARROW?
HE DIED MONTHS AGO,
BUT SOSKA DOESN'T KNOW THAT.
I SEE.
HE'S GOING TO RETURN
FROM THE DEAD.
WHEN HE'S CAPTURED,
HE'LL BE TAKEN TO
SOSKA'S HEADQUARTERS
AT LABYANKA
MILITARY PRISON.
THEY'RE NOT FOOLS,
YOU KNOW.
THEY'LL NEVER BELIEVE
ANY SUCH THING ABOUT KARQ.
OF COURSE NOT.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A RESCUE ATTEMPT --
ELABORATE, WELL-TIMED,
INGENIOUS, I HOPE.
WE'LL GET ALL THE WAY IN,
BUT WE'LL FAIL.
NORMALLY,
SPARROW'S INFORMATION
WILL BE DISBELIEVED
AND WRITTEN OFF.
BUT SINCE WE'RE GOING INTO
A MAXIMUM-SECURITY PRISON,
HOW WILL THEY BUY
THE UNBELIEVABLE FACT
THAT JANOS KARQ
IS A TRAITOR?
AND LATER,
THEY LET SPARROW LIVE.
WE'D TRY
TO NEGOTIATE HIS FREEDOM.
ALL THIS WATER, YOU KNOW.
I'M NOT SO SURE MY SYSTEM
CAN STAND THE SHOCK.
I HAVEN'T MET ALL
OF YOU UNTIL TODAY.
YOUR REASONS FOR DOING
THIS WORK MAY NOT BE MINE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'LL BE SPARROW FOR YOU.

GET YOUR ORDERS?
OH, I MADE THEM UP AS
