Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 5 - Old Man Out: Part 2 - full transcript
The IMF breaks off its attempt to free an elderly cardinal. Now, Briggs & Co. must regroup and Briggs must alter his plans. On top of that, a colonel in the unnamed Eastern European country is becoming suspicious of the IMF's "circus." Briggs manages to use the man's suspicions to the IMF's advantage. Crystal, the trapeze artist recruited by Briggs, performs a dangerous diversion while Briggs and Rollin attempt to free the cardinal.
Man: GOOD EVENING, MR. BRIGGS.
THIS IS ANTON CARDINAL VOSSEK,
WHO IS BEING HELD
FOR INTERROGATION
ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THIS
BUILDING, SERAVNO PRISON,
WHICH IS LOCATED
IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT
TO THE CITY MAIN PARK.
SERAVNO PRISON IS CONSIDERED
THE MOST IMPREGNABLE
IN EASTERN EUROPE.
NO ESCAPE HAS EVER
BEEN MADE FROM IT.
MR. BRIGGS, YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE
TO ACCEPT IT,
WOULD BE TO RESCUE
CARDINAL VOSSEK.
CRYSTAL?
YES, DAN.
BETTER SPEND MORE TIME
REHEARSING YOUR TRAPEZE ACT.
WHY? I'VE DONE IT EIGHT
A WEEK FOR TWO YEARS.
NOT WITHOUT A NET.
[ CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING ]

PASS THE SENTRY...
TO SAY NOTHING OF GETTING
OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
YOU'LL SEE...TOMORROW.
TOMORROW?
I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T

CAPTAIN, I WANT YOU

HE MIGHT EASILY DIE.
THAT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
I RECEIVED ORDERS
TO EXECUTE HIM IN 48 HOURS.
WELL, DARLING, AREN'T YOU
GOING TO INTRODUCE ME
TO YOUR FRIEND?
OH, HE'S NOT
YOUR TYPE, ANGEL.

WASHED-OUT BLONDES?

[ With accent ] SO THIS IS
WHERE YOU WORK, NEIGHBOR.
AH, YOU KNOW,

OPINION OF YOURSELF.
[ LAUGHING ]
HOW'S YOUR, UH,

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
I DON'T KNOW.
ROLLIN CALLED IT OFF.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
YOU'RE LEAVING?
[ With accent ]
NO, I CHANGED MY MIND.
WHY?
[ With accent ]
IT'S MY FAULT, COLONEL.
WOMEN, SIR.
WE WERE GOING TO RODESS,
BUT SHE HAS SOME
STUPID IDEA THAT I HAVE
A LADY ACQUAINTANCE THERE,
AND SHE REFUSES --
I DON'T BELIEVE
A WORD OF THIS.
I THINK YOU'RE ALL THIEVES.
PERFORMERS, YES,
BUT PETTY THIEVES AS WELL.
I INTEND TO KEEP
MY EYE ON YOU FROM NOW ON.
REMEMBER THAT.
[ Normal voice ]
THAT'S TROUBLE.
[ Normal voice ]
WE CAN'T HAVE HIM
WATCHING US,
EVEN FOR THE WRONG REASON.
DO WE TAKE HIM OUT?
YES.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
LET HIM THROUGH.
HE'S ALL WRAPPED UP
IN HIS WORK -- FORGET IT.
IF YOU SAY SO.
I'M SORRY.
DO YOU MIND IF
I WORRY ABOUT HIM?
I SAID I WAS SORRY.
YOU WORRY ABOUT ROLLIN,
RIGHT?
I WORRY ABOUT EARTHQUAKES.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
[ With accent ]
HOW ARE YOU GETTING ALONG?
NOT TOO GOOD.
I HAVE NIGHTMARES.
VERY BAD ONES.
THEY TOLD ME
IT MIGHT TAKE A LONG TIME
BEFORE MY CASE
COMES TO TRIAL.
I TALKED TO A LAWYER.
HE WILL POST BOND,
BUT I WILL HAVE TO BORROW
THE MONEY.
OF COURSE,
THERE WILL BE INTEREST.
HOW...MUCH, DO YOU THINK?
IT COULD BE VERY HIGH.
ALL RIGHT.
[ Normal voice ]
VOSSEK HAS BEEN MOVED
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.
WHY DID THEY MOVE HIM?
MY GUESS IS THEY PLAN
TO EXECUTE HIM SOON.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO
GET TO VOSSEK RIGHT AWAY?
YES. I HAVE USE
FOR OUR FRIEND, THE COLONEL.
AND, CRYSTAL,
I WANT EVERYONE,
AND I MEAN EVERYONE,
LOOKING AT YOU
EVERY SECOND OF THE TIME,
FROM YOUR THIRD MUSIC CUE
TILL 7:15.
CAN YOU DO IT?
YES. BUT WHY?
I TOLD ROLLIN
TO BREAK OUT...
BY HIMSELF.
[ CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING ]
YOU HAVE COME TO OBTAIN
ABSOLUTION, CAPTAIN?
TO GET A CONFESSION, THEN?
NO.
NO. NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I'VE COME TO TELL YOU --
I MEAN...
I THOUGHT
YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW...
THERE HAVE BEEN ORDERS
ISSUED.
TO KILL ME?
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE.
I JUST THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
SO THAT I COULD
MAKE MY PEACE WITH GOD?
PLEASE, YOUR EMINENCE.
I WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE.
I AM SORRY.
IT'S A LONG ACTION SCENE.
CAN YOU SUSTAIN IT?
I'LL MILK IT
FOR ALL IT'S WORTH.
BESIDES, BARNEY AND I
HAVE A SECOND ACT.
BARNEY,
CAN YOU STRIKE IN TIME?
I'LL REALLY BE PUSHED
IF THE MIND-READING ACT
IS CANCELED.
I KNOW. DO IT SOMEHOW.
EVERYONE CLEAR
ON THE REST OF THE CHANGES
TO THE ROUTINE?
DAN, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
UP ON A HIGH WIRE?
NOPE.
MOST PEOPLE
ARE HIGH SHY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
YOU'RE NOT?
I'LL FIND OUT.
IF I AM, DON'T WAIT FOR ME.
CRYSTAL...
HOW LONG
ARE YOUR NAILS?
LONG ENOUGH.
THANKS A LOT.

YOUR EMINENCE,
PLEASE TELL ME
ONE LITTLE THING.
SOMETHING UNIMPORTANT.
ONE NAME. ONE FACT.
ANYTHING THAT I CAN TELL THEM

I'M TRYING TO HELP.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
THEY HAVE ORDERED ME
