Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 26 - A Cube of Sugar - full transcript
A U.S. intelligence operative, posing as a jazz musician, has been captured behind the Iron Curtain. In his possession is a new micro circuit hidden in one of several sugar cubes soaked in psychedelic drugs. Briggs devises a plan where Rollin will be arrested and put in the same prison. To execute the plan, Rollin will need to shed a straight jacket and inject the arrested intelligence agent with a drug making it appear he has died. Barney, Willy and Cinammon will also play key roles in the IMF leader's plan.
MAY I HELP YOU, SIR?
YES, I'M LOOKING FOR
A CHATEAU DE LA CROIX, 1959.
OH, THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT.
WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT
DE LA CROIX '57.
I'D PREFER '59,
IT'S FAR SUPERIOR.
LET ME LOOK IN
THE BACK ROOM.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU MIGHT FIND
THIS AN INTERESTING WINE.
THANK YOU.
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.
THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
IS VINCENT DEAN,
A JAZZ MUSICIAN
WHO IS ALSO ONE
OF OUR BEST AGENTS.
WHILE ON A CONCERT TOUR
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN,
DEAN CAME INTO POSSESSION
OF A COMPUTER MICROCIRCUIT
AND ITS CODE,
WHICH WILL TELL US THEIR
ENTIRE SECOND-STRIKE POTENTIAL.
DEAN HAS MEMORIZED THE CODE.
BUT BEFORE HE COULD REACH
HIS CONTACT POINT,
HE WAS CAUGHT.
SANKO BROBIN,
DIRECTOR OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
FOR ALL OF EASTERN EUROPE,
SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE
TO BREAK DEAN
OR FIND THE MICROCIRCUIT.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO GET DEAN
AND THE MICROCIRCUIT OUT
BEFORE HE BREAKS.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, DAN.
THIS IS WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT.
ORDINARY CUBES OF SUGAR
SOAKED WITH PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS.
DEAN WAS CARRYING
A HANDFUL OF THESE.
THE MICROCIRCUIT WE'RE
AFTER IS IN ONE OF THEM.
TRY THE RING.
MAGNETIC.
[ CRUNCHING ]
THAT'S A MICROCIRCUIT.
THE ONE DEAN HAD
IS EXACTLY LIKE IT.
SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH.
ONCE YOU GET TO THE SUGAR.
DAN?
MM-HMM?
YOU SAID BROBIN
HAD A REPUTATION
AS SOMETHING
OF A LADIES' MAN.
YES.
WHAT ABOUT THE MORTUARY?
YOU HAVE TO GET DEAN OUT
ALIVE.
WE WILL.
WE HAVE TO GO
THROUGH TWO WALLS,
BUT WE'LL BE WAITING FOR HIM
IN THE CREMATORIUM.
YOU AND CINNAMON
SEE DR. GREEN?
YES. NARCOTICS WILL NOT AFFECT
US FOR THE NEXT 7 TO 10 DAYS.
WHAT ABOUT
THE STRAITJACKET?
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING.
DEAN WAS ARRESTED
FOR KILLING A PEDESTRIAN
WHILE DRIVING UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS.
THEY'RE HOLDING HIM
IN A PADDED CELL
ON THE 7th FLOOR
OF THE PEOPLE'S MEDICAL CENTER.
AN ATTENDANT IS ON DUTY
24 HOURS A DAY.
THERE ARE NO WINDOWS
IN THE ROOM AND ONE DOOR.
AND YOU'RE GETTING HIM
OUT OF THERE?
WITH THIS.
EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED
IS IN HERE.
THE SERRETS
ARE DIFFERENT COLORS.
THE RED GOES
INTO DEAN'S MEDICATION.
IT WILL MAKE HIM
APPEAR TO DIE.
THE YELLOW ONE
IS FOR SANKO BROBIN.
ANYTHING, COMRADE BROBIN?
TOO SOON, POLYA.
IT'S TOO SOON.
IT WILL TAKE A DAY OR TWO
BEFORE HE BECOMES ADDICTED.
THEN, WHEN WE STOP
THE NARCOTICS
AND THE AGONIES
OF WITHDRAWAL BEGIN,
HE WILL BEG TO TELL US
WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.
STILL NO LUCK THERE?
I'VE BEEN OVER EVERYTHING
AGAIN AND AGAIN.
WHAT ABOUT THESE?
SATURATED WITH
A PSYCHEDELIC DRUG.
I KNOW...
MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE.
HAND ME YOUR GUN.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
FOR YOU.
YES?
TELL HIM TO WAIT.
THERE'S A MAN HERE
FROM THE AMERICAN EMBASSY
ABOUT VINCENT DEAN.
[ Sighs ] PACK THAT
AND TAKE IT TO THE OFFICE.
WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, SIR?
I'M HERE WITH REGARD TO
ONE OF OUR PEOPLE YOU'RE
HOLDING -- VINCENT DEAN.
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES
OF GETTING HIM RELEASED?
[ LAUGHING ]
NOT GOOD. HE KILLED ONE
OF OUR CITIZENS --
A WOMAN,
A MOTHER OF THREE.
WHEN WE PICKED HIM UP,
HE WAS OUT ON HIS FEET.
DRUNK?
THIS HALLUCINATORY DRUG
WHICH THEY USE NOW.
YES, I WISH THESE BUMS
WOULD STAY HOME.
SO DO I.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
WELL, RIGHT NOW,
HE'S A WILD MAN,
TOTALLY PSYCHOTIC.
IT HAPPENS WITH THESE DRUGS
SOMETIMES.
IF WE CAN GET HIM BACK
TO HIS SENSES,
WE'LL HAVE TO PUT HIM
ON TRIAL.
AND IF YOU DON'T?
WELL, GIVE ME SIX WEEKS
OR SO.
IF HE DOESN'T COME AROUND
BY THEN, YOU CAN HAVE HIM.
DO YOU MIND IF I SEE HIM?
HE WON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
I COULDN'T CARE LESS.
I JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO TELL THE AMBASSADOR
THAT I SAW HIM.
WE'LL HAVE TO GO IN
RIGHT HERE.
DO WE BEND THESE
OUT OF THE WAY?
YEP. ALL BUT THIS ONE.
IT'S CARRYING
HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLES.
I'LL HAVE TO CUT THE CONDUIT,
JUMP EACH CABLE.
[ MAN MOANING ]
[ CRYING ]
SORRY.
THE SIGHT OF A MAN IN THAT
CONDITION...GETS TO ME.
ALLOW ME.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
I APPRECIATE IT.
NOW AT LEAST YOU KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOUR AMBASSADOR.
NO, THAT'S NOT
WHAT WORRIES ME.
DEAN'S WIFE
JUST ARRIVED IN THE CITY.
I DON'T QUITE KNOW
WHAT TO TELL HER.
YES, THAT CAN BE DIFFICULT.
MAYBE IT WOULD BE EASIER
IF I SAW HER.
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO?
WHY NOT?
WHERE DO I REACH HER?
AT A NIGHTCLUB.
"THE HAPPENING,"
I THINK IT'S CALLED.
HER HUSBAND WAS
SUPPOSED TO PERFORM THERE.
WELL, I'LL LOOK HER UP.
[ MUSIC PLAYS ]
NO ACTION HERE, MISTER.
ARE YOU MRS. VINCENT DEAN?
DO I KNOW YOU?
COMMANDER BROBIN,
SECURITY POLICE.
MAY I SIT DOWN?
IS IT ABOUT MY HUSBAND?
ARE YOU GOING TO
LET HIM OUT?
I'M AFRAID WE CANNOT.
AT THE MOMENT,
HE'S NOT WELL.
AND THE FAMILY OF THE WOMAN
HE KILLED --
HE DIDN'T KILL ANY WOMAN.
FORGIVE ME, MADAM, BUT ON
THE NIGHT OF THE 17th --
I KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE.
BUT I ALSO KNOW WHY
YOU'RE REALLY HOLDING HIM.
LOOK,
HE COULDN'T BE A SPY.
I MEAN,
HE'S JUST A CRAZY ACIDHEAD
WHO WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET
ENOUGH MONEY TO GET THE STUFF.
HE MADE A MISTAKE,
I ADMIT IT.
HE DID AGREE TO DELIVER
SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY,
BUT HE DOESN'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT.
NOW, I SWEAR,
THAT'S THE TRUTH.
WELL, THEN, THEN YOU MAY HELP
YOUR HUSBAND IF YOU TOLD US
WHERE WE CAN FIND WHATEVER
IT WAS HE WAS DELIVERING.
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, PERHAPS YOU KNOW
TO WHOM HE WAS TO DELIVER IT.
HAS THERE BEEN ANYONE HERE
ASKING FOR YOUR HUSBAND?
LOOK, IF THERE WAS,
AND IF I TOLD YOU WHO IT WAS,
WOULD YOU LET MY HUSBAND GO?
I MAKE NO PROMISES,
OF COURSE,
BUT I THINK IT WOULD HELP,
YES.
THE ARTIST
DOING THE SKETCHES.
THANK YOU, MY DEAR.
YOU HAVE HELPED
YOUR HUSBAND A GREAT DEAL.
[ SHOUTING ]
I TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW
ANYBODY NAMED VINCENT DEAN!
THEN YOU SHALL MEET HIM.
LOWER THE PADDING
IN THAT CELL.
[ LAUGHING ]
THAT IS VINCENT DEAN...
OR WAS.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THERE IS SOMETHING
SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH HIM.
I WOULD CALL IT
A SERIOUS CASE
OF REFUSAL TO COOPERATE.
MOST UNFORTUNATE...
[Laughing]
AND SO UNNECESSARY.
IN THIS AGE
OF MODERN PHARMACOLOGY,
EVERYONE TALKS
SOONER OR LATER.
DON'T YOU THINK?
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT PHARMACOLOGY.
[ LAUGHING ]
DRUGS. DRUGS.
HE'LL BECOME A VEGETABLE,
BUT HE'LL EVENTUALLY TELL ME
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
PERHAPS YOU'D PREFER TO
SPARE YOURSELF THE JACKET.
HOW?
JUST TELL ME WHAT DEAN WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAND OVER TO YOU
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE $25,000.
AND IF I REFUSE?
[ LAUGHING ]
I WILL BREAK YOU.
I WILL TURN YOU
INTO THAT.
POLYA!
POLYA, NO,
GET THE DOCTOR!
GET THE DOCTOR UP HERE,
AND TWO MORE ATTENDANTS,
IMMEDIATELY!
MAX, STRAITJACKET.
AHHH!
GIVE HIM 500 MICROGRAMS
OF THE PSYCHEDELIC
AND 3 MILLIGRAMS
OF THE NARCOTIC.
AND PUT UP THE PADS.
DON'T WANT HIM
TO HURT HIMSELF.
DID YOU SEE MY HUSBAND?
YES, I SAW HIM,
BUT HE'S MOST
UNCOOPERATIVE.
HE WOULDN'T TELL YOU
WHERE IT IS?
HE COULDN'T...
NOT EVEN IF HE WANTED TO.
HE'S VERY SICK.
HIS DRUGS.
HE'S BEEN USING A LOT LATELY
BECAUSE OF THE STRESS.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, MY DEAR?
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU?
WHAT DOES THAT MATTER?
IT MATTERS VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL.
LIFE IS NOT OVER FOR YOU.
DON'T WORRY.
LET ME POUR YOU A BRANDY.
[ CREAKING ]
WILLY, BEND THIS.
[ CREAKING ]
[ HISSING ]
[ HISSING CONTINUES ]
THERE'S A BURST RADIATOR
IN WARD NINE.
YOU'D BETTER SEND A MAN
UP HERE RIGHT AWAY.
[ BUZZER BUZZES ]
LOOK.
A BREAK IN THE METAL...
OR RUST, MAYBE.
IT GAVE WAY
UNDER THE PRESSURE.
IT WILL HAVE TO
BE WELDED.
Doctor: HOLD IT!
AREN'T YOU
TEN MINUTES EARLY?
IT WON'T MATTER TO THEM.
TAKE IT EASY.
NO ONE'S
GOING TO HURT YOU.
TAKE IT EASY.
NO ONE'S
GOING TO HURT YOU.
NO!
AH!
EASY.
[ MOANING ]
TAKE IT EASY.
YOU HAVEN'T TOUCHED
YOUR DRINK.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M SORRY.
I REALLY HAVE TO GO.
OH, BUT...THERE'S STILL
A LOT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT.
A SOLUTION
TO YOUR PROBLEM.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
OH...I SEE.
IT'S NOT A DRINK YOU WANT.
I CAN'T HELP IT.
WHEN I GET TENSE, I...
I UNDERSTAND, MY DEAR.
WE ALL SEEK A WAY
TO RELIEVE OUR TENSIONS.
I UNDERSTAND THIS
IS A MAGNIFICENT WAY.
HELP YOURSELF.
GO ON.
HELP YOURSELF.
I'D GIVE ANYTHING
NOT TO NEED THIS,
NOT TO BE DEPENDENT.
BUT...IN TIMES OF STRESS,
ONE MUST SATISFY
ONE'S NEEDS.
[ SIGHS ]
I'VE LOCATED THE GAS PIPE
THAT FEEDS THE OVEN.
IS THERE A SHUT-OFF VALVE?
NO, WE'LL HAVE TO
INSTALL ONE.
CAN WE USE
THE ELECTRIC SAW?
NO, WITH THIS MUCH GAS
AROUND,
WE CAN'T AFFORD
AN ELECTRIC SPARK.
WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT
BY HAND.
HAND ME THE PIPE CUTTER.
GAS MASK.
HOLD HIM STEADY.
DOC!
HE'S DEAD!
WHEN?
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
MY HUSBAND?
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN
TO MY HUSBAND?
HE'S DEAD.
[ SNIFFING ]
OKAY.
HAND ME THE ELECTRIC SAW
WITH THE EXTENSION CORD.
[Crying] WHAT DID
THEY DO TO MY HUSBAND?
WHAT DID THEY DO
TO HIM?
I DON'T KNOW, MRS. DEAN,
BUT I CERTAINLY INTEND
TO FIND OUT.
[ CRYING ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED?
IT IS MY BUSINESS
TO KEEP TRACK
OF THE AMERICANS
IN YOUR COUNTRY.
DID YOUR HUSBAND HAVE
A BAD HEART, MRS. DEAN?
A BAD HEART?
NO.
NO! THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG
WITH HIM
UNTIL YOU BROUGHT HIM
TO THIS PLACE.
WAS IT A HEART ATTACK?
REGRETTABLY, YES.
SUCH THINGS ARE COMMON
AMONG DRUG ADDICTS,
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW.
NO, NO,
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
DON'T YOU BELIEVE HIM!
MY HUSBAND WAS WORKING
FOR OUR GOVERNMENT.
HE WAS ON A VERY
IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT.
DON'T YOU PRETEND
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
HE HAS BEEN QUESTIONING ME
ABOUT IT ALL EVENING.
IF YOU'VE BEEN QUESTIONING
MRS. DEAN,
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED
OF THE CHARGES AGAINST HER.
WELL, I'M AFRAID MRS. DEAN,
LIKE HER HUSBAND,
IS A USER OF DRUGS
THAT INDUCE HALLUCINATION.
I'M NOT HAVING
A HALLUCINATION.
YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND!
PLEASE, MRS. DEAN,
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
WE'LL KNOW THE CAUSE
OF YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH
AS SOON AS WE'VE HAD A CHANCE
TO EXAMINE HIS BODY.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO PICK UP HIS BODY
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
OF COURSE.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
COME, MRS. DEAN.
IF THEY AUTOPSY THE BODY,
THEY WILL FIND OUT
HE DIED FROM THE DRUGS.
THAT'S WHY IT WILL BE
CREMATED TONIGHT.
STAY WITH THE BODY.
MAKE SURE IT GETS DONE.
BROBIN!
BROBIN!
HELP ME!
DEAR GOD, HELP ME!
BROBIN!
BROBIN!
LET ME OUT OF HERE,
PLEASE.
OPEN IT.
LET ME OUT.
PLEASE, LET ME OUT.
I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.
PLEASE, GET ME OUT OF HERE.
PLEASE.
YOU KNOW
WHAT I WANT.
NO.
DON'T LET HIM
GIVE ME ANOTHER SHOT.
OF COURSE NOT.
NOT IF YOU TELL ME
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
HE'S GOING TO GIVE ME
ANOTHER SHOT.
IF I SEND HIM AWAY,
WILL YOU TELL ME
WHERE THE MICROCIRCUIT IS?
OR PERHAPS YOU'D RATHER
HAVE ANOTHER SHOT.
NO. SEND HIM AWAY.
PLEASE.
I'LL TELL YOU
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW.
NOW, UH...
[Whispering]
One sound and you're dead.
OKAY, START CLOSING IT UP.
THIS BODY'S TO BE
CREMATED AT ONCE.
GO!
HOW LONG BEFORE
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND?
HIS PULSE IS ALMOST NORMAL.
HE SHOULD BE AWAKE
IN A FEW MINUTES.
LET'S SEE
THE MICROCIRCUIT, DAN.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK.
DEAN COATED IT BEFORE HE
PLANTED IT IN THE SUGAR CUBE.
IF HE HADN'T, BROBIN WOULD
HAVE FOUND IT LONG AGO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL DO TO BROBIN
WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE'S LET
IT SLIP THROUGH HIS FINGERS?
THEY'LL PROBABLY KEEP HIM
RIGHT THERE IN THAT PADDED CELL
WHERE I LEFT HIM.
YES, I'M LOOKING FOR
A CHATEAU DE LA CROIX, 1959.
OH, THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT.
WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT
DE LA CROIX '57.
I'D PREFER '59,
IT'S FAR SUPERIOR.
LET ME LOOK IN
THE BACK ROOM.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU MIGHT FIND
THIS AN INTERESTING WINE.
THANK YOU.
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.

A JAZZ MUSICIAN
WHO IS ALSO ONE
OF OUR BEST AGENTS.
WHILE ON A CONCERT TOUR
BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN,
DEAN CAME INTO POSSESSION

AND ITS CODE,
WHICH WILL TELL US THEIR
ENTIRE SECOND-STRIKE POTENTIAL.
DEAN HAS MEMORIZED THE CODE.
BUT BEFORE HE COULD REACH

THEY DO TO MY HUSBAND?
WHAT DID THEY DO

WHAT HAPPENED?
HOW DID YOU KNOW

DID YOUR HUSBAND HAVE
A BAD HEART, MRS. DEAN?
A BAD HEART?
NO.
NO! THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG

WAS IT A HEART ATTACK?
REGRETTABLY, YES.
SUCH THINGS ARE COMMON
AMONG DRUG ADDICTS,
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW.
NO, NO,
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
DON'T YOU BELIEVE HIM!
MY HUSBAND WAS WORKING
FOR OUR GOVERNMENT.
HE WAS ON A VERY
IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT.
DON'T YOU PRETEND
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
HE HAS BEEN QUESTIONING ME

IF YOU'VE BEEN QUESTIONING
MRS. DEAN,
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED
OF THE CHARGES AGAINST HER.
WELL, I'M AFRAID MRS. DEAN,
LIKE HER HUSBAND,
IS A USER OF DRUGS
THAT INDUCE HALLUCINATION.
I'M NOT HAVING
A HALLUCINATION.
YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND!
PLEASE, MRS. DEAN,
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
WE'LL KNOW THE CAUSE
OF YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH
AS SOON AS WE'VE HAD A CHANCE
TO EXAMINE HIS BODY.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO PICK UP HIS BODY
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
OF COURSE.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
COME, MRS. DEAN.
IF THEY AUTOPSY THE BODY,
THEY WILL FIND OUT
HE DIED FROM THE DRUGS.
THAT'S WHY IT WILL BE
CREMATED TONIGHT.
STAY WITH THE BODY.
MAKE SURE IT GETS DONE.
BROBIN!
BROBIN!
HELP ME!
DEAR GOD, HELP ME!
BROBIN!
BROBIN!
LET ME OUT OF HERE,
PLEASE.
OPEN IT.
LET ME OUT.
PLEASE, LET ME OUT.
I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.
PLEASE, GET ME OUT OF HERE.
PLEASE.
YOU KNOW
WHAT I WANT.
NO.
DON'T LET HIM
GIVE ME ANOTHER SHOT.
OF COURSE NOT.
NOT IF YOU TELL ME
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
HE'S GOING TO GIVE ME
ANOTHER SHOT.
IF I SEND HIM AWAY,
WILL YOU TELL ME
WHERE THE MICROCIRCUIT IS?
OR PERHAPS YOU'D RATHER
HAVE ANOTHER SHOT.
NO. SEND HIM AWAY.
PLEASE.
I'LL TELL YOU
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW.
NOW, UH...
[Whispering]
One sound and you're dead.
OKAY, START CLOSING IT UP.
THIS BODY'S TO BE
CREMATED AT ONCE.
GO!
HOW LONG BEFORE
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND?
HIS PULSE IS ALMOST NORMAL.
HE SHOULD BE AWAKE
IN A FEW MINUTES.
LET'S SEE
THE MICROCIRCUIT, DAN.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK.
DEAN COATED IT BEFORE HE
PLANTED IT IN THE SUGAR CUBE.
IF HE HADN'T, BROBIN WOULD
HAVE FOUND IT LONG AGO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL DO TO BROBIN
WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE'S LET
IT SLIP THROUGH HIS FINGERS?
THEY'LL PROBABLY KEEP HIM
RIGHT THERE IN THAT PADDED CELL
WHERE I LEFT HIM.
