Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 25 - Shock - full transcript
Wilson, a U.S. ambassador stationed in a neutral country, has been abducted by an intelligence operative of an Eastern Bloc nation. An impostor has been put in Wilson's place. Briggs & Co. have a short amount of time to get Wilson back and foil whatever plot is underway. The IMF, in turn, abducts the impostor. A disguised Briggs takes his place. The impostor, Josef Gord, awakens to find himself in an IMF-manufactured mental hospital. The question is whether the IMF can break him in time to save Wilson.

GOOD EVENING, MR. BRIGGS.
THIS IS CARL WILSON,
A SPECIAL U.S. ENVOY
WHO IS ABOUT TO SUCCEED
IN AFFECTING
A VITAL EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN OUR GOVERNMENT
AND A NEUTRAL COUNTRY
IMPORTANT TO US.
THIS MAN, PETER KIRI,
A NOTORIOUS ENEMY AGENT,
HAS KIDNAPPED WILSON
AND REPLACED HIM
WITH AN IMPOSTER.
KIRI'S PURPOSE
MUST BE TO DISCREDIT WILSON,
AND SO, PREVENT THE EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT FROM BEING RATIFIED.
WILSON IS STILL ALIVE
AND BEING HELD PRISONER.
SO, ANY MOVE
AGAINST THE IMPOSTER
WOULD BRING WILSON'S
INSTANTANEOUS DEATH.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO SAVE WILSON
AND TO PUT KIRI OUT OF ACTION.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR
ANY MEMBER OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
THIS RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, DAN.
[ PROJECTOR WHIRRING ]
THE ONE ON THE LEFT
IS CARL WILSON, RIGHT, DAN?
NO, IT LOOKS LIKE WILSON,
BUT IT'S REALLY GORT,
AFTER HE MADE
THE TRANSFORMATION.
[ PROJECTOR CLICKS ]
HIS BONE STRUCTURE'S MUCH CLOSER
TO YOURS THAN MINE, DAN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I'LL HAVE TO PLAY HIM.
WHO IS HE?
THAT'S KIRI.
HE WAS ONCE HEAD
OF A LIQUIDATION CAMP
FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.
NOW HE'S ACTING
AS THE ENVOY'S SECRETARY.
HOW DID THEY
TAKE OVER THE HOUSE?
AFTER THEY KIDNAPPED
WILSON,
GORT TOOK HIS PLACE,
DISMISSED THE STAFF,
AND BROUGHT IN
HIS OWN PEOPLE.
COULD WILSON POSSIBLY
STILL BE IN THE HOUSE?
NO, WE'VE HAD THE HOUSE
UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
HE WAS TAKEN OUT
AND NEVER BROUGHT BACK.
WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING GORT'S
ROLE, WE HAVE TO BREAK HIM?
YES, GORT MUST TALK. THAT'S THE
KEY TO THE WHOLE OPERATION.
YOU'LL HAVE DR. DRAKE
TO HELP YOU.
ONE QUESTION, DAN.
WHAT SORT OF ELECTRICAL
CURRENT DO THEY HAVE THERE?
BARNEY.
THE CURRENT IS DIRECT,
BUT THE VOLTAGE VARIES.
SO I'M TAKING A SET OF
RECTIFIERS TO KEEP IT CONSTANT.
GOOD.
AND REMEMBER,
IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD,
THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE TO
AN INDISPENSABLE MAN IS WILSON.
WE MAKE ONE MISTAKE, WILSON
PAYS FOR IT WITH HIS LIFE.
[ BEEPING ]
[ BEEPING STOPS ]
WILLY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
CINNAMON?
YES.
WHERE WILL THEY BE, KIRI?
ALL RIGHT. ONCE AGAIN.
THEY'LL BE IN THE CAR,
WAITING FOR YOU.
ONCE YOU GO OUT THE DOOR,
YOUR JOB IS FINISHED.
I GUESS IT'LL WORK.
OF COURSE, IT'LL WORK.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU,
GORT?
YOU'D THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST
JOB YOU'D EVER DONE FOR US.
IT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT.
BUT IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
YES, I'M SATISFIED.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
PATRICIA WILSON,
CARL WILSON'S NIECE.
[ RINGS ]
ALL RIGHT.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
YOUR NIECE IS ON THE WAY UP
FROM THE GATE.
MY NIECE?
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
HOW DO YOU DO?
I'M PATRICIA WILSON.
I'M DAVE SAUNDERS,
MR. WILSON'S ASSISTANT.
HOW DO YOU DO?
-PLEASE COME IN.
-THANK YOU.
IS MY UNCLE IN?
YES, HE IS.
UNCLE CARL.
[ SMOOCHES ]
IT'S BEEN SO VERY LONG.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
IT'S JUST THAT I'M
SO SURPRISED TO SEE YOU.
WELL, DIDN'T YOU GET
MY LETTER?
LETTER?
WHEN DID YOU SEND IT?
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
I WROTE TO TELL YOU
I WAS GOING TO BE IN
THIS PART OF THE WORLD
DOING SOME RESEARCH --
YOU KNOW, I STILL
HAVEN'T FINISHED MY PhD.
ISN'T THAT FUNNY?
I NEVER RECEIVED IT.
OH, GEE, I'M SORRY.
WHAT A LOVELY HOUSE.
-IT IS, ISN'T IT?
-MM.
WELL, TELL ME
HOW YOU'VE BEEN.
JUST GREAT. DAD'S FINE.
OVERWORKED, AS USUAL.
SITUATION NORMAL.
-IS THIS YOUR STUDY?
-YES.
MAY I?
OF COURSE.
IT'S QUITE ELEGANT.
ONLY ON THE SURFACE,
I'M AFRAID.
UNCLE CARL, THERE'S SO MUCH
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
I'M AT YOUR SERVICE.
WELL, IT'S A PRIVATE
FAMILY MATTER.
I SEE.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
THANK YOU, DAVE.
AND I JUST DON'T GET TO
TALK TO DAD MUCH ANYMORE.
I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
IT'S A QUESTION OF ROMANCE.
HE'S A GREAT GUY,
BUT HE JUST DOESN'T EARN
ENOUGH MONEY YET.
WELL, WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS
MAYBE YOU COULD FIND SOME WAY
TO USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO --
[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]
YES?
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
THE TRUNK --
WHERE DO YOU WANT IT?
WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT'S
BEEN QUITE DECIDED YET.
DO YOU MIND WAITING?
IT'LL BE
JUST A FEW MINUTES.
KEEP THE METER RUNNING.
I'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.
THAT WILL BE FINE.
AS I WAS SAYING,
UNCLE CARL,
THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD --
OF COURSE, DARLING,
BUT I'D LIKE TO MEET
THE YOUNG MAN FIRST.
[ LAUGHS ]
THANK YOU, UNCLE CARL.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
NONSENSE. NOW, ABOUT
YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS,
I THINK YOU'LL LIKE
THE LORSKA HOTEL.
[ ROTARY TELEPHONE DIALING ]
THAT SOUNDS JUST FINE.
[ DIALING CONTINUES ]
[ RINGS ]
LORSKA HOTEL.
HELLO.
THIS IS CARL WILSON.
MY NIECE PATRICIA WILL
BE CHECKING IN SHORTLY.
I'D APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU GIVE HER THE BEST
POSSIBLE ACCOMMODATIONS.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST,
MR. WILSON.
THANK YOU.
NOW, IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME,
I'VE REALLY
GOT TO GET TO WORK.
I UNDERSTAND.
I'M AFRAID THE TRUNK WILL
HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE TAXI.
YES.
WHEN WILL I SEE YOU?
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
THE FIRST CHANCE I GET.
GOOD.
SHE COULD BE DANGEROUS.
AT THE LORSKA HOTEL?
MAYBE NOT.
YOU GOT RID OF HER
VERY WELL.
THANK YOU.
VERY WELL, INDEED.
[ LIGHTER CLICKS ]
[ VEHICLE APPROACHING ]
AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE, DOCTOR.
WE DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE.
AN ASSASSIN, HMM?
WELL, MAYBE WHEN THIS
IS ALL OVER,
HE'LL BE BETTER OFF
THAN HE WAS BEFORE.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM
250 MILLIAMPERES OF CURRENT
FOR EXACTLY 10 SECONDS.
THAT'S SLIGHTLY HIGHER
THAN THE USUAL DOSAGE.
A HIGHER DOSAGE?
WE'RE NOT TAKING A CHANCE
ON DESTROYING HIS MEMORY
COMPLETELY, ARE WE, DOCTOR?
ONLY FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAST,
LIKE THE EVENTS
OF THIS MORNING.
ALL RIGHT.
[ ELECTRICITY HUMMING ]
[ ELECTRICITY BUZZING ]
[ BUZZING STOPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
HOW LONG
WILL HE BE OUT?
20 MINUTES
TO HALF AN HOUR.
HOW SOON AFTER THAT WILL
I BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM?
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
HE'LL BE TERRIBLY CONFUSED.
HE WON'T HAVE ANY NOTION
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
BUT THEN, THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA,
ISN'T IT?
JOSEF, IN ALL THE TIME
I'VE KNOWN YOU,
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU SMOKE
WITHOUT YOUR HOLDER BEFORE.
I REALIZED SOMETHING TODAY
WHEN I SAW THE GIRL.
JOSEF GORT USES A HOLDER.
WILSON NEVER DID.
REMEMBER, KIRI,
I WAS ONCE ON THE STAGE.
AN ACTOR MUST SUBMERGE
HIMSELF COMPLETELY
IN THE ROLE HE'S PLAYING.
I SEE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
NO, THIS IS
MR. WILSON'S ASSISTANT.
I UNDERSTAND, SIR.
NO, THAT'LL BE
FINE, SIR.
WE'LL EXPECT YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
THAT WAS JONATHAN DAVIS,
THE AMERICAN
UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE.
HE'S JUST ARRIVED
AT THE AIRPORT,
AND HE WANTS TO MEET
WITH YOU THIS AFTERNOON.
[ GROANING ]
WH...WHERE...
COME ON. GET UP.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE DOCTOR.
DOCTOR?
I SAID GET UP!
[ WOMAN CRIES ]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
COME ON.
SIT DOWN, MR. KROLL.
REMEMBER, ROLLIN,
YOU'RE HIS ONLY FRIEND.
AH, GOOD MORNING,
MR. KROLL.
ATTENDANT, YOU CAN REMOVE
MR. KROLL'S RESTRAINTS.
WELL, HOW ARE WE TODAY,
MR. KROLL?
WHAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT IS A TAPE RECORDER.
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT HERE
HALF A DOZEN TIMES.
HOW DO YOU THINK WE'VE
COMPILED YOUR CASE HISTORY?
CASE HISTORY?
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
WE ESTABLISHED THAT
LAST TIME, MR. KROLL.
I AM DR. MALENOV.
THIS IS A MENTAL HOSPITAL.
THIS IS A PLEASANT
SURPRISE, JONATHAN.
I HADN'T EXPECTED TO SEE
YOU UNTIL THIS EVENING.
A RECEPTION'S NO PLACE
TO TALK.
MY PLANE WAS EARLY,
AND I DECIDED
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT --
HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN
TO MY HOTEL YET.
THE JOB MUST BE AGREEING
WITH YOU.
-WE'RE GETTING IT DONE.
-YOU CERTAINLY ARE.
AND ODDLY ENOUGH,
YOU LOOK YOUNGER FOR IT.
THANK YOU, JONATHAN.
OH, I SAW YOUR SON IN ROME.
HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HE WAS DOWN TO A 12.
OH?
WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING TO NOW?
[ CHUCKLES ]
I REALLY DON'T KNOW, JONATHAN.
THE NEAREST GOLF COURSE
IS 200 MILES AWAY.
I DO MISS IT, THOUGH.
I'LL BET YOU DO.
[ GLASS THUMPS ]
WOULD YOU LIKE A CIGARETTE,
MR. KROLL?
THANK YOU.
WHY DO YOU KEEP
CALLING ME MR. KROLL?
BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR NAME.
GEORGI KROLL, ACCOUNTANT.
YOU HAVE BEEN WITH US
FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.
NO.
MY NAME IS...
JOSEF! JOSEF GORT!
JOSEF GORT DOES NOT EXIST,
MR. KROLL.
THERE IS NO SUCH PERSON.
BUT I AM JOSEF GORT.
I AM A...
YES, YES, YOU TOLD US
A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT JOSEF GORT.
LET'S SEE.
MM, QUITE A FELLOW,
JOSEF GORT.
A FINE ACTOR,
BECAME A SECRET AGENT.
EVENTUALLY,
A POLITICAL ASSASSIN.
ALL SORTS
OF EXCITING ADVENTURES.
WOMEN, DANGER.
LOOK, MR. KROLL, IN TRUTH,
JOSEF GORT EXISTS ONLY
OUT OF YOUR ILLNESS.
HE IS A CREATURE OF FANTASY.
YOU ARE GEORGI KROLL,
THE ACCOUNTANT AT A STATE BANK.
I AM GORT!
[ SIGHS ]
A MOST PERSISTENT DELUSION.
WELL, PERHAPS...
PERHAPS THAT'S THE CORRECT WAY
TO ATTACK THIS PROBLEM.
LET US SEE.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
LAST TIME YOU TOLD US
THAT JOSEF GORT
WAS WORKING WITH
A SPECIAL TEAM OF AGENTS
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
HE HAD KIDNAPPED
THE AMERICAN ENVOY,
A MAN NAMED WILSON,
AND REPLACED HIM --
NO, THAT YOU HAD REPLACED HIM
AND YOU TOOK HIS PLACE.
CORRECT?
I TOLD YOU ALL THAT?
YES. MANY TIMES.
WHAT WE'D LIKE YOU TO DO
IS PREPARE THE GROUNDWORK
FOR A POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL
VISIT HERE THIS SUMMER.
YOU SAY "POSSIBLE VISIT"?
WHETHER IT COMES OFF DEPENDS
ON WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISH HERE
DURING
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
AND, CARL, WE HAVE
EVERY CONFIDENCE IN YOU.
COME ON.
THIS OLD PLACE
IS COMING APART.
SO? SOMETIMES THEY LEAVE
VALUABLE THINGS
IN THESE OLD PLACES.
ALL THIS PLACE IS GOOD FOR
IS ONE BIG FIRE.
YEAH.
MR. KROLL...
COULD YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU FANTASIZED
YOU WERE GOING TO DO
WITH THIS, THIS MAN WILSON?
I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU,
MR. KROLL.
I AM YOUR FRIEND.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
IN THIS PLACE.
I AM JOSEF GORT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
GORT!
MR. KROLL!
LET ME GO.
LET ME GO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?
NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!
NO!
I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
I THOUGHT
WE'D MADE SOME PROGRESS.
PERHAPS ANOTHER TIME.
TAKE HIM BACK
TO ISOLATION.
WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
I TOLD YOU WHO I AM.
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
LET ME GO.
LET ME GO!
NOOOO!
PLEASE, PLEASE,
DON'T LEAVE ME IN HERE.
PLEASE!
FYDOR, LOOK!
WHAT IS IT?
LET'S FIND OUT.
[ Whispering ]
There's someone in there.
So what? Come on.
[ ALARM RINGS ]
WILLY!
WHAT DO WE DO,
ROLLIN?
WE CAN'T STOP NOW.
WE'LL HAVE TO TRUST
WILLY.
BOYS.
I NO GOING
TO HURT YOU BOYS.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO TELL ON ME.
BOYS, PLEASE, IF YOU TELL,
THEY SEND ME TO JAIL.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD BOYS.
[ MAN CRIES ]
[ Crying ]
OH, PLEASE, DON'T!
[ Echoing ]
MR. KROLL!
MR. KROLL!
[ CRYING CONTINUES ]
OH, PLEASE, DON'T!
[ LAUGHING ]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
NO!
[ MAN SPEAKING DISTORTEDLY ]
NO!
[ MAN SCREAMS ]
BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
[ CRYING ]
[ SCREAMING ]
GORT, YOU MUST KILL!
[ VOICES STOP ]
[ SCREAMING ]
AH! AH! AH!
[ SCREAMING STOPS ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ CRYING ]
HELP ME!
HELP ME!
KILL WILSON!
HELP ME!
[ Echoing ] KILL!
[ CRYING ]
KIRI, THE GUEST
LIST FOR THE RECEPTION --
I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE IT.
YOU GAVE IT BACK TO ME.
MAY I SEE IT, PLEASE?
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I'M PREPARED.
THANK YOU.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU'LL HAVE TO ADMIT,
IT IS QUITE AN ASSORTMENT.
THE USUAL -- PRESS,
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,
VISITING DIGNITARIES.
WHY THE MINISTER
OF SECURITY?
HE'S THE HEAD OF THE POLICE.
JOSEF...CAN YOU THINK
OF A BETTER WITNESS?
THERE IS...SOMEONE ELSE
WE OUGHT TO ASK.
WHO?
MY NIECE.
WILSON WOULD NEVER NEGLECT
TO INVITE HER
TO A FUNCTION LIKE THIS.
BESIDES, SHE, TOO,
WOULD BE A GOOD WITNESS.
[ RINGING ]
LORSKA HOTEL.
I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO
MISS PATRICIA WILSON, PLEASE.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
PATRICIA WILSON SPEAKING.
DEAR, I WAS SO SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO INVITE
YOU TO THE RECEPTION TONIGHT.
I'D LIKE YOU TO BE HERE.
IT SHOULD BE QUITE EXCITING.
IT SOUNDS LOVELY, UNCLE CARL.
I'LL BE THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL
I SHOULD WEAR?
IT'S BLACK TIE.
SEE YOU TONIGHT.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
WHATEVER THEY'RE PLANNING
TO DO,
IT'S AT A RECEPTION TONIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE
ANOTHER GO AT HIM, NOW.
I JUST HOPE HE'S READY.
HE'S CERTAINLY CONFUSED
AS TO WHAT'S FANTASY
AND WHAT'S REALITY.
BARNEY, SET HIM UP.
RIGHT.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT IS AN ELECTRO SHOCK
DEVICE, MR. KROLL.
WE HAVE USED IT ON YOU
BEFORE.
PUT HIM ON THE TABLE, PLEASE.
NO, I DON'T WANT IT.
COME ON.
NO, NO, NO!
DOCTOR, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS TO ME?
WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU,
MR. KROLL.
BUT SO FAR, WE HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH YOU.
THESE TREATMENTS
SHOULD MAKE YOU
MORE AMENABLE TO THERAPY.
I WANT THE OTHER DOCTOR.
PLEASE.
WELL, I DO NOT KNOW
IF I CAN ARRANGE IT,
BUT I WILL SPEAK TO HIM.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
USE IT.
TOO MANY MORE SHOCKS,
AND YOU'LL BE HERE FOREVER.
WELL...
WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE TROUBLE, MR. KROLL?
I...I DON'T WANT THE MACHINE.
BUT YOU WON'T TALK
TO US.
I WILL. I PROMISE.
HMM.
VERY WELL.
YOU TELL US
SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.
ABOUT YOUR WORK
AT THE BANK.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE BANK.
YOU SEE?
YOU HAD BETTER GET
DR. STANIS.
NO!
MR. KROLL, I WOULD VERY MUCH
LIKE TO HELP YOU, VERY MUCH.
BUT, YOU SEE,
I HAVE 1,500 OTHER PATIENTS.
MAYBE...MAYBE THESE FANTASIES
ABOUT JOSEF GORT
WOULD BE OF SOME VALUE,
AFTER ALL.
YOU WERE TELLING US
ABOUT A RECEPTION.
I DON'T...
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
[ SIGHS ]
TELL DR. STANIS
300 MILLIAMPERES OF SHOCK.
DOCTOR!
YES, MR. KROLL?
DOCTOR...I'M SORRY.
[ DRAWER CLOSES ]
HERE.
FIRST, DAVIS.
THEN, WILSON.
ROLLIN, IF GORT WAS
SUPPOSED TO KILL WILSON,
HE MUST KNOW
WHERE WILSON IS.
I'M CONVINCED
HE DOESN'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK
HE EVER KNEW.
THEN HOW COULD HE KILL HIM?
THEY MUST BE PLANNING
TO BRING WILSON TO HIM.
EXACTLY.
THAT'S WHEN WE GRAB HIM.
[ LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
STEPHEN DROKER,
JONATHAN DAVIS.
MR. DROKER IS
THE MINISTER OF SECURITY.
I AM VERY HONORED
TO MEET YOU, MR. DAVIS.
THIS SHOULD
SOLVE THE PROBLEM
OF KEEPING DAVIS ALIVE.
I SPACED FOUR SHEETS
OF LIGHT STEEL
BETWEEN THE PAGES.
GOOD.
NOW WE'LL SEW THE BOOK
IN HERE.
AND...I'LL USE THIS
TO WRITE ON HIS CIGARETTE.
I'LL WATCH FOR IT.
BRING HIM IN.
[ MUSIC PLAYS ]
YOU REMEMBER ME.
I'M CARL WILSON'S NIECE.
OVER HERE.
IN THIS CHAIR.
[ APPLAUSE ]
LEAVE HIM.
[ MUSIC ENDS ]
[ DOOR OPENS ]
[ MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]
WILSON'S AT HIS DESK
IN THE STUDY.
WE'RE READY.
OH, HELLO.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
UNCLE CARL.
I AM SO PLEASED YOU
INVITED ME THIS EVENING.
IT GIVES ME A CHANCE
TO INTRODUCE MY FIANCé.
RONALD MILLER,
CARL WILSON.
-HOW DO YOU DO?
-HOW DO YOU DO?
PLEASURE.
HE FLEW UP FROM ROME
FOR JUST THIS EVENING.
TELEPHONE CALL
FOR YOU, MR. DAVIS.
YOU CAN TAKE IT
IN THE FOYER.
THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
HE'S IN THE STUDY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS.
I'M DELIGHTED.
DAVIS HERE.
PLEASE LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY
TO WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME
A MOMENT, SIR?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
DEAR.
I'M SUPPOSED
TO KILL THEM BOTH.
WE KNOW. GORT TALKED.
AIM FOR DAVIS' HEART.
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
HAVE YOU SEEN MR. DAVIS?
I THINK
HE TOOK A PHONE CALL.
THANK YOU.
[ LIGHTER CLICKS ]
[ MUSIC ENDS ]
[ APPLAUSE ]
THE STUDY.
LET'S GO.
MR. UNDERSECRETARY, MAY
I PRESENT MISS NOVOTNA?
HOW DO YOU DO?
DO IT NOW.
YES, YES, YES. GIVE ME
A MOMENT TO COLLECT MYSELF.
I SAID NOW!
ALL RIGHT. I'M READY.
I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER
A TOAST.
THE AGREEMENT OUR TWO COUNTRIES
ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO
IS A FIRST STEP ON A LONG ROAD
TO COMPLETE MUTUAL TRUST,
WITHOUT WHICH, THERE
CAN BE NO PEACE IN THE WORLD.
TO THE FRIENDSHIP,
NOT ONLY OF OUR TWO COUNTRIES,
BUT OF ALL COUNTRIES,
OF ALL MEN.
[ Whispering ]
Do it.
CARL, WHAT IS IT?
I'M NOT GOING THROUGH
WITH IT, JONATHAN.
LISTEN TO ME,
ALL OF YOU.
THIS AGREEMENT IS A FRAUD
AND A TRAP.
ITS PURPOSE
IS TO INFILTRATE
EVERY DEPARTMENT
OF YOUR GOVERNMENT
WITH AMERICAN AGENTS
AND PROVOCATEURS,
TO SUBVERT YOUR COUNTRY
AND MAKE IT LITTLE MORE
THAN AN AMERICAN COLONY.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'M SAYING THAT
OUR GOVERNMENT
HAS EMBARKED ON A PROGRAM
TO SWALLOW UP NATIONS
SUCH AS THIS
UNDER THE GUISE
OF HELPING THEM.
CARL, YOU'RE MAD.
NO, I'M TELLING THE TRUTH,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SORRY FOR THIS.
I APOLOGIZE FOR MR. WILSON.
I'M SURE HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S SAYING.
LISTEN TO ME, PLEASE.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TO CONVINCE YOU?
I'M GOING TO
STOP YOU, CARL...
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
[ CROWD MURMURING ]
THERE WAS...NO OTHER WAY
TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.
MR. WILSON!
SOMEBODY GET AN AMBULANCE.
[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
MR. WILSON!
SIR!
SIR!
[ WOMEN GASP ]
[ WOMEN GASP ]
HE'S DEAD.
POOR MAN.
I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON
IN HIS MIND.
I COULD SEE IT.
HE BROODED A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT WHAT HE THOUGHT
HE WAS BEING MADE
TO BE A PARTY TO.
I SUPPOSE HIS CONSCIENCE
JUST COULDN'T STAND IT
ANY LONGER.
VERY PRETTY
AND COMPASSIONATE SPEECH.
BUT THIS ISN'T CARL WILSON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
RELAX.
[ CROWD MURMURING ]
GORT!
JOSEF GORT AND PETER KIRI
OF THE KVD.
YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!
CARL.
GOOD SHOOTING.

GOOD EVENING, MR. BRIGGS.
THIS IS CARL WILSON,
A SPECIAL U.S. ENVOY
WHO IS ABOUT TO SUCCEED
IN AFFECTING
A VITAL EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN OUR GOVERNMENT
AND A NEUTRAL COUNTRY
IMPORTANT TO US.
THIS MAN, PETER KIRI,
A NOTORIOUS ENEMY AGENT,
HAS KIDNAPPED WILSON
AND REPLACED HIM
WITH AN IMPOSTER.
KIRI'S PURPOSE
MUST BE TO DISCREDIT WILSON,
AND SO, PREVENT THE EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT FROM BEING RATIFIED.
WILSON IS STILL ALIVE
AND BEING HELD PRISONER.
SO, ANY MOVE
AGAINST THE IMPOSTER
WOULD BRING WILSON'S
INSTANTANEOUS DEATH.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO SAVE WILSON
AND TO PUT KIRI OUT OF ACTION.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR
ANY MEMBER OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
THIS RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, DAN.
[ PROJECTOR WHIRRING ]
THE ONE ON THE LEFT
IS CARL WILSON, RIGHT, DAN?
NO, IT LOOKS LIKE WILSON,
BUT IT'S REALLY GORT,
AFTER HE MADE
THE TRANSFORMATION.
[ PROJECTOR CLICKS ]
HIS BONE STRUCTURE'S MUCH CLOSER
TO YOURS THAN MINE, DAN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I'LL HAVE TO PLAY HIM.
WHO IS HE?
THAT'S KIRI.
HE WAS ONCE HEAD
OF A LIQUIDATION CAMP
FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.
NOW HE'S ACTING
AS THE ENVOY'S SECRETARY.
HOW DID THEY
TAKE OVER THE HOUSE?
AFTER THEY KIDNAPPED
WILSON,
GORT TOOK HIS PLACE,
DISMISSED THE STAFF,
AND BROUGHT IN
HIS OWN PEOPLE.
COULD WILSON POSSIBLY
STILL BE IN THE HOUSE?
NO, WE'VE HAD THE HOUSE
UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
HE WAS TAKEN OUT
AND NEVER BROUGHT BACK.
WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING GORT'S
ROLE, WE HAVE TO BREAK HIM?
YES, GORT MUST TALK. THAT'S THE
KEY TO THE WHOLE OPERATION.
YOU'LL HAVE DR. DRAKE
TO HELP YOU.
ONE QUESTION, DAN.
WHAT SORT OF ELECTRICAL
CURRENT DO THEY HAVE THERE?
BARNEY.
THE CURRENT IS DIRECT,
BUT THE VOLTAGE VARIES.
SO I'M TAKING A SET OF
RECTIFIERS TO KEEP IT CONSTANT.
GOOD.
AND REMEMBER,
IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD,
THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE TO
AN INDISPENSABLE MAN IS WILSON.
WE MAKE ONE MISTAKE, WILSON
PAYS FOR IT WITH HIS LIFE.
[ BEEPING ]
[ BEEPING STOPS ]

WHAT DO YOU THINK,

YES.
WHERE WILL THEY BE, KIRI?
ALL RIGHT. ONCE AGAIN.
THEY'LL BE IN THE CAR,
WAITING FOR YOU.
ONCE YOU GO OUT THE DOOR,
YOUR JOB IS FINISHED.
I GUESS IT'LL WORK.
OF COURSE, IT'LL WORK.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU,
GORT?
YOU'D THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST
JOB YOU'D EVER DONE FOR US.
IT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT.
BUT IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
YES, I'M SATISFIED.

-IT IS, ISN'T IT?

TALK TO DAD MUCH ANYMORE.
I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
IT'S A QUESTION OF ROMANCE.
HE'S A GREAT GUY,
BUT HE JUST DOESN'T EARN
ENOUGH MONEY YET.
WELL, WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS
MAYBE YOU COULD FIND SOME WAY
TO USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO --
[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]
YES?
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
THE TRUNK --
WHERE DO YOU WANT IT?
WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT'S
BEEN QUITE DECIDED YET.
DO YOU MIND WAITING?
IT'LL BE
JUST A FEW MINUTES.
KEEP THE METER RUNNING.
I'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.
THAT WILL BE FINE.
AS I WAS SAYING,
UNCLE CARL,
THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD --
OF COURSE, DARLING,
BUT I'D LIKE TO MEET
THE YOUNG MAN FIRST.
[ LAUGHS ]
THANK YOU, UNCLE CARL.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
NONSENSE. NOW, ABOUT
YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS,
I THINK YOU'LL LIKE
THE LORSKA HOTEL.
[ ROTARY TELEPHONE DIALING ]
THAT SOUNDS JUST FINE.
[ DIALING CONTINUES ]
[ RINGS ]
LORSKA HOTEL.
HELLO.
THIS IS CARL WILSON.
MY NIECE PATRICIA WILL
BE CHECKING IN SHORTLY.
I'D APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU GIVE HER THE BEST
POSSIBLE ACCOMMODATIONS.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST,
MR. WILSON.
THANK YOU.
NOW, IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME,
I'VE REALLY
GOT TO GET TO WORK.
I UNDERSTAND.
I'M AFRAID THE TRUNK WILL
HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE TAXI.
YES.
WHEN WILL I SEE YOU?
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
THE FIRST CHANCE I GET.
GOOD.
SHE COULD BE DANGEROUS.
AT THE LORSKA HOTEL?
MAYBE NOT.
YOU GOT RID OF HER
VERY WELL.
THANK YOU.
VERY WELL, INDEED.
[ LIGHTER CLICKS ]
[ VEHICLE APPROACHING ]
AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE, DOCTOR.
WE DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE.
AN ASSASSIN, HMM?
WELL, MAYBE WHEN THIS
IS ALL OVER,
HE'LL BE BETTER OFF
THAN HE WAS BEFORE.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM
250 MILLIAMPERES OF CURRENT
FOR EXACTLY 10 SECONDS.
THAT'S SLIGHTLY HIGHER
THAN THE USUAL DOSAGE.
A HIGHER DOSAGE?
WE'RE NOT TAKING A CHANCE
ON DESTROYING HIS MEMORY
COMPLETELY, ARE WE, DOCTOR?
ONLY FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAST,
LIKE THE EVENTS
OF THIS MORNING.
ALL RIGHT.
[ ELECTRICITY HUMMING ]
[ ELECTRICITY BUZZING ]
[ BUZZING STOPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
HOW LONG
WILL HE BE OUT?
20 MINUTES
TO HALF AN HOUR.
HOW SOON AFTER THAT WILL
I BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM?
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
HE'LL BE TERRIBLY CONFUSED.
HE WON'T HAVE ANY NOTION
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
BUT THEN, THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA,
ISN'T IT?
JOSEF, IN ALL THE TIME
I'VE KNOWN YOU,
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU SMOKE
WITHOUT YOUR HOLDER BEFORE.
I REALIZED SOMETHING TODAY
WHEN I SAW THE GIRL.
JOSEF GORT USES A HOLDER.
WILSON NEVER DID.
REMEMBER, KIRI,
I WAS ONCE ON THE STAGE.
AN ACTOR MUST SUBMERGE
HIMSELF COMPLETELY
IN THE ROLE HE'S PLAYING.
I SEE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
NO, THIS IS
MR. WILSON'S ASSISTANT.
I UNDERSTAND, SIR.
NO, THAT'LL BE
FINE, SIR.
WE'LL EXPECT YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
THAT WAS JONATHAN DAVIS,
THE AMERICAN
UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE.
HE'S JUST ARRIVED
AT THE AIRPORT,
AND HE WANTS TO MEET
WITH YOU THIS AFTERNOON.
[ GROANING ]
WH...WHERE...
COME ON. GET UP.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE DOCTOR.
DOCTOR?
I SAID GET UP!
[ WOMAN CRIES ]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
COME ON.
SIT DOWN, MR. KROLL.
REMEMBER, ROLLIN,
YOU'RE HIS ONLY FRIEND.
AH, GOOD MORNING,
MR. KROLL.
ATTENDANT, YOU CAN REMOVE
MR. KROLL'S RESTRAINTS.
WELL, HOW ARE WE TODAY,
MR. KROLL?
WHAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT IS A TAPE RECORDER.
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT HERE
HALF A DOZEN TIMES.
HOW DO YOU THINK WE'VE
COMPILED YOUR CASE HISTORY?
CASE HISTORY?
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
WE ESTABLISHED THAT
LAST TIME, MR. KROLL.
I AM DR. MALENOV.
THIS IS A MENTAL HOSPITAL.
THIS IS A PLEASANT
SURPRISE, JONATHAN.
I HADN'T EXPECTED TO SEE
YOU UNTIL THIS EVENING.
A RECEPTION'S NO PLACE
TO TALK.
MY PLANE WAS EARLY,
AND I DECIDED
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT --
HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN
TO MY HOTEL YET.
THE JOB MUST BE AGREEING
WITH YOU.
-WE'RE GETTING IT DONE.
-YOU CERTAINLY ARE.
AND ODDLY ENOUGH,
YOU LOOK YOUNGER FOR IT.
THANK YOU, JONATHAN.
OH, I SAW YOUR SON IN ROME.
HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HE WAS DOWN TO A 12.
OH?
WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING TO NOW?
[ CHUCKLES ]
I REALLY DON'T KNOW, JONATHAN.
THE NEAREST GOLF COURSE
IS 200 MILES AWAY.
I DO MISS IT, THOUGH.
I'LL BET YOU DO.
[ GLASS THUMPS ]
WOULD YOU LIKE A CIGARETTE,
MR. KROLL?
THANK YOU.
WHY DO YOU KEEP
CALLING ME MR. KROLL?
BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR NAME.
GEORGI KROLL, ACCOUNTANT.
YOU HAVE BEEN WITH US
FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.
NO.
MY NAME IS...
JOSEF! JOSEF GORT!
JOSEF GORT DOES NOT EXIST,
MR. KROLL.
THERE IS NO SUCH PERSON.
BUT I AM JOSEF GORT.
I AM A...
YES, YES, YOU TOLD US
A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT JOSEF GORT.
LET'S SEE.
MM, QUITE A FELLOW,
JOSEF GORT.
A FINE ACTOR,
BECAME A SECRET AGENT.
EVENTUALLY,
A POLITICAL ASSASSIN.
ALL SORTS
OF EXCITING ADVENTURES.
WOMEN, DANGER.
LOOK, MR. KROLL, IN TRUTH,
JOSEF GORT EXISTS ONLY
OUT OF YOUR ILLNESS.
HE IS A CREATURE OF FANTASY.
YOU ARE GEORGI KROLL,
THE ACCOUNTANT AT A STATE BANK.
I AM GORT!
[ SIGHS ]
A MOST PERSISTENT DELUSION.
WELL, PERHAPS...
PERHAPS THAT'S THE CORRECT WAY
TO ATTACK THIS PROBLEM.
LET US SEE.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
LAST TIME YOU TOLD US
THAT JOSEF GORT
WAS WORKING WITH
A SPECIAL TEAM OF AGENTS
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
HE HAD KIDNAPPED
THE AMERICAN ENVOY,
A MAN NAMED WILSON,
AND REPLACED HIM --
NO, THAT YOU HAD REPLACED HIM
AND YOU TOOK HIS PLACE.
CORRECT?
I TOLD YOU ALL THAT?
YES. MANY TIMES.
WHAT WE'D LIKE YOU TO DO
IS PREPARE THE GROUNDWORK
FOR A POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL
VISIT HERE THIS SUMMER.
YOU SAY "POSSIBLE VISIT"?
WHETHER IT COMES OFF DEPENDS
ON WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISH HERE
DURING
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
AND, CARL, WE HAVE
EVERY CONFIDENCE IN YOU.
COME ON.
THIS OLD PLACE
IS COMING APART.
SO? SOMETIMES THEY LEAVE
VALUABLE THINGS
IN THESE OLD PLACES.
ALL THIS PLACE IS GOOD FOR
IS ONE BIG FIRE.
YEAH.
MR. KROLL...
COULD YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU FANTASIZED
YOU WERE GOING TO DO
WITH THIS, THIS MAN WILSON?
I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU,
MR. KROLL.
I AM YOUR FRIEND.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
IN THIS PLACE.
I AM JOSEF GORT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
GORT!
MR. KROLL!
LET ME GO.
LET ME GO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?
NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!
NO!
I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
I THOUGHT
WE'D MADE SOME PROGRESS.
PERHAPS ANOTHER TIME.
TAKE HIM BACK
TO ISOLATION.
WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
I TOLD YOU WHO I AM.
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
LET ME GO.
LET ME GO!
NOOOO!
PLEASE, PLEASE,
DON'T LEAVE ME IN HERE.
PLEASE!
FYDOR, LOOK!
WHAT IS IT?
LET'S FIND OUT.
[ Whispering ]
There's someone in there.
So what? Come on.
[ ALARM RINGS ]
WILLY!
WHAT DO WE DO,
ROLLIN?
WE CAN'T STOP NOW.
WE'LL HAVE TO TRUST
WILLY.
BOYS.
I NO GOING
TO HURT YOU BOYS.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO TELL ON ME.
BOYS, PLEASE, IF YOU TELL,
THEY SEND ME TO JAIL.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD BOYS.

[ CRYING ]
KIRI, THE GUEST
LIST FOR THE RECEPTION --
I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE IT.
YOU GAVE IT BACK TO ME.
MAY I SEE IT, PLEASE?
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I'M PREPARED.
THANK YOU.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU'LL HAVE TO ADMIT,
IT IS QUITE AN ASSORTMENT.
THE USUAL -- PRESS,
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,
VISITING DIGNITARIES.
WHY THE MINISTER
OF SECURITY?
HE'S THE HEAD OF THE POLICE.
JOSEF...CAN YOU THINK
OF A BETTER WITNESS?
THERE IS...SOMEONE ELSE
WE OUGHT TO ASK.
WHO?
MY NIECE.
WILSON WOULD NEVER NEGLECT
TO INVITE HER
TO A FUNCTION LIKE THIS.
BESIDES, SHE, TOO,
WOULD BE A GOOD WITNESS.
[ RINGING ]
LORSKA HOTEL.
I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO
MISS PATRICIA WILSON, PLEASE.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
PATRICIA WILSON SPEAKING.
DEAR, I WAS SO SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO INVITE
YOU TO THE RECEPTION TONIGHT.
I'D LIKE YOU TO BE HERE.
IT SHOULD BE QUITE EXCITING.
IT SOUNDS LOVELY, UNCLE CARL.
I'LL BE THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL
I SHOULD WEAR?
IT'S BLACK TIE.
SEE YOU TONIGHT.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
WHATEVER THEY'RE PLANNING
TO DO,
IT'S AT A RECEPTION TONIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE
ANOTHER GO AT HIM, NOW.
I JUST HOPE HE'S READY.
HE'S CERTAINLY CONFUSED
AS TO WHAT'S FANTASY
AND WHAT'S REALITY.
BARNEY, SET HIM UP.
RIGHT.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT IS AN ELECTRO SHOCK
DEVICE, MR. KROLL.
WE HAVE USED IT ON YOU
BEFORE.
PUT HIM ON THE TABLE, PLEASE.
NO, I DON'T WANT IT.
COME ON.
NO, NO, NO!
DOCTOR, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS TO ME?
WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU,
MR. KROLL.
BUT SO FAR, WE HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH YOU.
THESE TREATMENTS
SHOULD MAKE YOU
MORE AMENABLE TO THERAPY.
I WANT THE OTHER DOCTOR.
PLEASE.
WELL, I DO NOT KNOW
IF I CAN ARRANGE IT,
BUT I WILL SPEAK TO HIM.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
USE IT.
TOO MANY MORE SHOCKS,
AND YOU'LL BE HERE FOREVER.
WELL...
WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE TROUBLE, MR. KROLL?
I...I DON'T WANT THE MACHINE.
BUT YOU WON'T TALK
TO US.
I WILL. I PROMISE.
HMM.
VERY WELL.
YOU TELL US
SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.
ABOUT YOUR WORK
AT THE BANK.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE BANK.
YOU SEE?
YOU HAD BETTER GET
DR. STANIS.
NO!
MR. KROLL, I WOULD VERY MUCH
LIKE TO HELP YOU, VERY MUCH.
BUT, YOU SEE,
I HAVE 1,500 OTHER PATIENTS.
MAYBE...MAYBE THESE FANTASIES
ABOUT JOSEF GORT
WOULD BE OF SOME VALUE,
AFTER ALL.
YOU WERE TELLING US
ABOUT A RECEPTION.
I DON'T...
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
[ SIGHS ]
TELL DR. STANIS
300 MILLIAMPERES OF SHOCK.
DOCTOR!
YES, MR. KROLL?
DOCTOR...I'M SORRY.
[ DRAWER CLOSES ]
HERE.
FIRST, DAVIS.
THEN, WILSON.
ROLLIN, IF GORT WAS
SUPPOSED TO KILL WILSON,
HE MUST KNOW
WHERE WILSON IS.
I'M CONVINCED
HE DOESN'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK
HE EVER KNEW.
THEN HOW COULD HE KILL HIM?
THEY MUST BE PLANNING
TO BRING WILSON TO HIM.
EXACTLY.
THAT'S WHEN WE GRAB HIM.
[ LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
STEPHEN DROKER,
JONATHAN DAVIS.
MR. DROKER IS
THE MINISTER OF SECURITY.
I AM VERY HONORED
TO MEET YOU, MR. DAVIS.
THIS SHOULD
SOLVE THE PROBLEM
OF KEEPING DAVIS ALIVE.
I SPACED FOUR SHEETS
OF LIGHT STEEL
BETWEEN THE PAGES.
GOOD.
NOW WE'LL SEW THE BOOK
IN HERE.
AND...I'LL USE THIS
TO WRITE ON HIS CIGARETTE.
I'LL WATCH FOR IT.
BRING HIM IN.
[ MUSIC PLAYS ]
YOU REMEMBER ME.
I'M CARL WILSON'S NIECE.
OVER HERE.
IN THIS CHAIR.
[ APPLAUSE ]

IN THE STUDY.
WE'RE READY.
OH, HELLO.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
UNCLE CARL.
I AM SO PLEASED YOU
INVITED ME THIS EVENING.
IT GIVES ME A CHANCE
TO INTRODUCE MY FIANCé.
RONALD MILLER,
CARL WILSON.
-HOW DO YOU DO?
-HOW DO YOU DO?
PLEASURE.
HE FLEW UP FROM ROME
FOR JUST THIS EVENING.
TELEPHONE CALL
FOR YOU, MR. DAVIS.
YOU CAN TAKE IT
IN THE FOYER.
THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
HE'S IN THE STUDY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS.
I'M DELIGHTED.
DAVIS HERE.
PLEASE LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY
TO WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME
A MOMENT, SIR?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
DEAR.
I'M SUPPOSED
TO KILL THEM BOTH.
WE KNOW. GORT TALKED.
AIM FOR DAVIS' HEART.
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
HAVE YOU SEEN MR. DAVIS?
I THINK
HE TOOK A PHONE CALL.
THANK YOU.

LET'S GO.
MR. UNDERSECRETARY, MAY
I PRESENT MISS NOVOTNA?
HOW DO YOU DO?
DO IT NOW.
YES, YES, YES. GIVE ME
A MOMENT TO COLLECT MYSELF.
I SAID NOW!
ALL RIGHT. I'M READY.
I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER
A TOAST.
THE AGREEMENT OUR TWO COUNTRIES
ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO
IS A FIRST STEP ON A LONG ROAD
TO COMPLETE MUTUAL TRUST,
WITHOUT WHICH, THERE
CAN BE NO PEACE IN THE WORLD.
TO THE FRIENDSHIP,
NOT ONLY OF OUR TWO COUNTRIES,
BUT OF ALL COUNTRIES,
OF ALL MEN.
[ Whispering ]
Do it.
CARL, WHAT IS IT?
I'M NOT GOING THROUGH
WITH IT, JONATHAN.
LISTEN TO ME,
ALL OF YOU.
THIS AGREEMENT IS A FRAUD
AND A TRAP.
ITS PURPOSE
IS TO INFILTRATE
EVERY DEPARTMENT
OF YOUR GOVERNMENT
WITH AMERICAN AGENTS
AND PROVOCATEURS,
TO SUBVERT YOUR COUNTRY
AND MAKE IT LITTLE MORE
THAN AN AMERICAN COLONY.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'M SAYING THAT
OUR GOVERNMENT
HAS EMBARKED ON A PROGRAM
TO SWALLOW UP NATIONS
SUCH AS THIS
UNDER THE GUISE
OF HELPING THEM.
CARL, YOU'RE MAD.
NO, I'M TELLING THE TRUTH,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SORRY FOR THIS.
I APOLOGIZE FOR MR. WILSON.
I'M SURE HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S SAYING.
LISTEN TO ME, PLEASE.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TO CONVINCE YOU?
I'M GOING TO
STOP YOU, CARL...
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
[ CROWD MURMURING ]
THERE WAS...NO OTHER WAY
TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.

[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
MR. WILSON!
SIR!
SIR!
[ WOMEN GASP ]
[ WOMEN GASP ]
HE'S DEAD.
POOR MAN.
I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON
IN HIS MIND.
I COULD SEE IT.
HE BROODED A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT WHAT HE THOUGHT
HE WAS BEING MADE
TO BE A PARTY TO.
I SUPPOSE HIS CONSCIENCE
JUST COULDN'T STAND IT
ANY LONGER.
VERY PRETTY
AND COMPASSIONATE SPEECH.
BUT THIS ISN'T CARL WILSON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
RELAX.
