Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 2, Episode 13 - The Astrologer - full transcript
An opposition leader of an Eastern Bloc nation has been captured by the chief of the country's secret police. Also seized was microfilm with a list of people who secretly support the ...
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
NIKOLAI CURZON, IN SPITE
OF HIS EXILE FROM VESCA
BY THE MILITARY JUNTA
THAT TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY,
HAS CONTINUED TO LEAD
A POPULAR MOVEMENT
TO OVERTHROW THIS DICTATORSHIP.
WE KNOW THAT TWO DAYS AGO,
COLONEL ALEX STAHL,
HEAD OF THE VESCIAN
SECRET POLICE,
SEIZED CURZON
OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY,
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE.
CURZON HAD IN HIS POSSESSION
A FRAME OF MICROFILM
CONTAINING THE NAMES
OF VESCIAN OFFICIALS
AND LEADING CITIZENS
WHO SUPPORT HIM.
IF CURZON AND THE MICROFILM
ARE RETURNED TO VESCA,
IT WILL RESULT IN THE MURDER
OF THESE PATRIOTS
AND KILL THEIR CHANCE
TO LIBERATE THE COUNTRY.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO RESCUE NIKOLAI CURZON
AND MAKE SURE THAT MICROFILM
DOES NOT GET TO VESCA.
AS ALWAYS, IF YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
SHOULD BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DESTROY THIS TAPE
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
Man with accent: WE ARE
A NATION SURROUNDED.
OUR ENEMIES ARE EVERYWHERE.
THEY ARE POISED TO STRIKE,
BUT WE MUST STRIKE FIRST.
Rollin, same accent: WE MUST
DESTROY OUR ENEMIES
BEFORE THEY DESTROY US.
WE MUST SHOW NO MERCY TO THOSE
WHO THREATEN THE NEW ORDER!
Normal voice: WELL?
PERFECT.
I COULDN'T TELL WHEN
THE CHANCELLOR STOPPED TALKING
AND YOU BEGAN.
THE CHANCELLOR TAKES
HIS DAILY SWIM
AT 2:00 EVERY AFTERNOON.
IS THE POOL INDOORS
OR OUTDOORS?
IT'S IN THE BASEMENT.
THAT SHOULD BE
INTERESTING.
THIS IS VICTOR GRIGOV,
DEPUTY CHANCELLOR.
HE'LL BE LEAVING
PARIS FOR VESCA
AT 2:00
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
ON HIS OWN PLANE.
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY,
THEY'LL STOP TO PICK UP
STAHL AND CURZON
AND THE MICROFILM.
NOW, CURZON WILL BE PUT
IN THIS COMPARTMENT
AND THE MICROFILM
IN THE SAFE IN HERE.
JIM, THAT'S
A CONFERENCE ROOM.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
FORTUNATELY,
BOTH THE COMPARTMENT
AND THE CONFERENCE ROOM
CAN BE REACHED
FROM THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
WHICH RUNS UNDERNEATH.
WHAT ABOUT AIR
IN THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT?
THERE ARE AIR DUCTS ALL
THE WAY THROUGH THE PLANE.
YOU'LL ONLY
BE ABLE TO WORK
WHILE EVERYONE
IS IN HIS OWN SEAT --
IN OTHER WORDS, WHILE
THE SEAT BELT SIGN IS ON.
THAT'S JUST DURING
TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ARE YOU SET
WITH THE HOROSCOPE?
THEY'RE ALL DONE.
THE CHANCELLOR'S
AND EVERYONE'S
WILL BE ON THE PLANE.
I MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE
A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.
GOOD.
Willy: JIM, WHAT ABOUT
THE TIMING IN VESCA?
NO PROBLEM, WILLY.
YOU AND I WILL GET THERE
BY COMMERCIAL JET
LONG BEFORE THE VICE
CHANCELLOR'S PLANE LANDS.
NOW,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET THE MAN
YOU'LL BE TAKING
OFF THAT PLANE --
NIKOLAI CURZON.
IT SURE LOOKS ALIVE.
FEELS ALIVE.
BARNEY?
IS THAT ALL HE CAN DO?
THAT'S ALL HE HAS TO DO.
GOOD AFTERNOON,
YOUR EXCELLENCY.
WON'T YOU BE SEATED?
Man over P.A.: NOW BOARDING
AT GATE NUMBER NINE.
[ ANNOUNCEMENTS IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
WILL YOU FIND OUT
HOW LONG IT WILL BE
BEFORE THE DEPUTY CHANCELLOR
WILL BE ABLE
TO BOARD HIS PLANE?
CERTAINLY.
IT WAS QUITE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR STAHL --
PICKING UP CURZON
AND THAT MICROFILM.
HE'LL TAKE CREDIT
FOR SAVING THE GOVERNMENT.
STAHL HAS BEEN
TRYING TO UNDERMINE ME
FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
HE WOULD STOP AT NOTHING
TO BECOME DEPUTY CHANCELLOR.
THE CHANCELLOR WOULD NEVER
REPLACE YOU WITH STAHL.
WE MUST WATCH HIM VERY CLOSELY
DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.
SHE'S SUPPOSED
TO BE A CELEBRITY.
HERE SHE COMES!
MERCI.
OKAY, THERE SHE IS, BOYS.
SHOOT AWAY.
GET PLENTY.
THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING,
MISS VARNAY,
I'M FROM
NEWS WORLD MAGAZINE.
YOU ARE MOST WELCOME.
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT PRINCESS FRANCESCA
WILL ALLOW TO CAST
HER HOROSCOPE.
IS IT TRUE THAT LEADERS
OF THE NEUTRAL COUNTRIES
HAVE ASKED
FOR YOUR COOPERATION
IN HELPING TO BRING
ABOUT PEACE TALKS?
Man: BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU,
MISS VARNAY.
WHEN DO YOU
EXPECT TO RETURN
TO THE UNITED STATES?
MISS VARNAY, ONE PICTURE
BY THE LIGHT, PLEASE.
MUST BE A MOVIE STAR.
HOW DO YOU GET
SUCH GREAT ACCURACY
IN YOUR ASTROLOGICAL
PREDICTIONS?
[ With French accent ]
I MERELY INTERPRET
THE MESSAGES
OF THE STARS.
WOULD YOU COMMENT
ON YOUR FANTASTIC PREDICTION
OF THE RECENT WAR
IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
MANY THOUSANDS OF LIVES
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED
IF THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD
PAID LESS ATTENTION
TO THE WORDS OF DIPLOMATS
AND MORE TO THE MESSAGES
OF THE STARS.
MISS VARNAY?
THIS WAY, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
Jim: YOU'RE SAYING THAT
A BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY
COULD LEAD TO PEACE
ON EARTH, HMM?
DEPUTY CHANCELLOR GRIGOV.
I'M AFRAID YOU HAVE ME
AT A DISADVANTAGE,
MADEMOISELLE.
HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
NO, NO, I RECOGNIZE YOU
FROM YOUR PHOTOGRAPH.
OH, THANK THE STARS
WE HAVE MET!
I MUST CONTACT
YOUR CHANCELLOR IMMEDIATELY.
WELL, PERHAPS
A BRIEF NOTE...
NO, NO, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
THERE IS NO TIME.
I TRIED TO CALL
BEFORE MY PLANE LEFT LONDON,
BUT I COULD NOT GET THROUGH.
YOUR CHANCELLOR
IS IN GRAVE DANGER TODAY.
I AM AN ASTROLOGER.
I PROJECT A DAILY HOROSCOPE
OF ALL THE IMPORTANT
HEADS OF STATE.
BELIEVE ME,
HE IS IN DANGER TODAY.
THE CHANCELLOR
HAS HIS OWN ASTROLOGER.
I'M SURE HE WOULD
WARN HIM OF ANY DANGER.
AND IF YOU'RE WRONG,
HE WILL DIE TODAY.
MADEMOISELLE,
I'M AFRAID I'M NOT
A GREAT BELIEVER
IN ASTROLOGY.
NOW, IF YOU WILL
PLEASE EXCUSE ME.
Jim: I BEG YOUR
PARDON, EXCELLENCY,
THOMPSON, NEWS WORLD
MAGAZINE.
IN VIEW OF THE RUMORS
OF AN IMPENDING REVOLUTION,
DO YOU INTEND TO IGNORE
THE PREDICTION
OF AN ASTROLOGER AS FAMOUS
AS MADEMOISELLE VARNAY?
I DO NOT BELIEVE
IN ASTROLOGY, MISTER...
THOMPSON.
YES, BUT YOUR
CHANCELLOR DOES.
I HOPE YOU'RE
RIGHT FOR HIS SAKE...
AND FOR YOURS.
BOYS, WHILE WE'RE HERE,
WHY DON'T WE GET A SHOT
OF MADEMOISELLE VARNAY
AND HIS EXCELLENCY.
OH, AND GET IT
ON THE WIRE RIGHT AWAY.
WILL YOU PLEASE GET THESE
REPORTERS OUT OF HERE?
I WISH TO SPEAK TO
THE MADEMOISELLE ALONE.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU MIGHT
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE!
THAT'S ALL.
NO MORE TODAY.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
NOW, PLEASE!
THE CHANCELLOR IS SAGITTARIUS,
BORN AT SUNRISE.
HIS HOUSE OF DEATH
IS CANCER,
A WATER SIGN
RULED BY THE MOON.
AT 2:00 TODAY,
MARS IS IN EXACT OPPOSITION
TO THE MOON IN CANCER.
MEANING WHAT?
DEATH.
VIOLENT DEATH BY WATER.
IS HE PLANNING TO GO
TO THE LAKE TODAY?
HE'S STAYING
IN THE CAPITAL.
IT COULD BE
WATER HE BATHES,
WATER HE DRINKS,
IT COULD BE --
THE POOL.
HE SWIMS
EVERY DAY AT 2:00.
EXCELLENCY,
YOU MUST STOP HIM.
IT'S A CALL
FOR GRIGOV.
FIND OUT WHO IT IS.
THERE IS A CALL
FOR YOU, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
IT IS THE CHANCELLOR.
IT WOULD SEEM AS IF THE
CHANCELLOR WERE PSYCHIC.
I WAS ABOUT TO CALL HIM,
AND HE CALLS ME INSTEAD.
IT'S THE CHANCELLOR,
THE REAL ONE.
YOUR EXCELLENCY...
DISCONNECT THEM.
[ DIAL TONE ]
WE'VE BEEN CUT OFF.
CUT ME IN.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
IT'S RINGING.
[ With accent ]
CHANCELLERY.
HELLO.
THIS IS DEPUTY CHANCELLOR
GRIGOV SPEAKING.
THE CHANCELLOR WAS
TRYING TO REACH ME.
[ As Chancellor ] GRIGOV,
I JUST WANTED TO SEE
IF EVERYTHING
WAS ALL RIGHT.
WHEN WILL YOU BE LEAVING?
ANY MOMENT NOW,
YOUR EXCELLENCY.
THERE IS A WOMAN
HERE AT THE AIRPORT,
AN ASTROLOGER.
SHE INSISTS THAT YOU
ARE IN GREAT DANGER.
AN ASTROLOGER? WHO?
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY.
OH, YES, YES.
SHE IS MOST GIFTED.
WHAT DANGER DOES SHE SEE?
SOMETHING ABOUT WATER.
SHE SAYS YOU MUST NOT
GO INTO THE POOL TODAY.
I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO CALL YOU TO TELL --
OH, JUST, JUST A MOMENT.
KARL, EXAMINE THE POOL!
NO, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT FOR.
IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
JUST EXAMINE THE POOL.
[ MAN SCREAMING ]
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
[ SILENCE ]
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
ARE YOU THERE?!
EXCELLENCY!
TERRIBLE. HE'S DEAD.
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
SOMEBODY WIRED THE POOL
WITH A HIGH-VOLTAGE
ELECTRICAL CHARGE.
IF IT HAD NOT BEEN
FOR MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ME.
BUT WHO?
I SUGGEST YOU QUESTION
NIKOLAI CURZON.
HE WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER.
BRING HIM TO ME AT ONCE!
AND, YES,
HAVE MADEMOISELLE VARNAY
RETURN ON THE SAME PLANE
WITH YOU.
VERY WELL, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
WHEW!
NOW WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE CHANCELLOR
CAN'T CALL GRIGOV BEFORE
THAT PLANE'S IN THE AIR.
THOSE TWO TRUNKS
ARE MINE.
THIS SEEMS A GREAT DEAL
OF LUGGAGE, MADEMOISELLE.
OH, NO, NO, EXCELLENCY,
NOT FOR A WORLD TOUR.
I HAVE NOT BEEN HOME
FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
PERHAPS IF TRUBNER WERE
TO INSPECT YOUR BAGGAGE
BEFORE WE BOARD THE PLANE,
IT WOULD SAVE YOU
THE ORDEAL
OF HAVING THE CUSTOMS
INSPECT IT
WHEN WE LAND IN VESCA.
THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD.
SHALL WE BOARD
OUR PLANE?
OF COURSE.
ARE THESE THE TRUNKS
FOR THE DEPUTY
CHANCELLOR'S PLANE?
MADEMOISELLE, IF YOU
WOULD CARE TO SIT HERE.
MERCI.
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
[ SIGN BUZZING ]
IF YOU WILL PERMIT ME,
MADEMOISELLE.
I AM AFRAID I'M VERY SKEPTICAL
ABOUT ASTROLOGY.
MOST PEOPLE ARE...
UNTIL THEY HAVE THEIR
HOROSCOPE MADE JUST FOR THEM.
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
THE 5th OF MAY, 1915.
[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
[ TAKES DEEP BREATH ]
I'M HAVING TROUBLE
BREATHING.
[ TAKES DEEP BREATH ]
THE AIR'S GETTING THIN.
THERE'S NO AIR
COMING IN.
THE LINE MUST BE BROKEN.
CAN YOU GET IT OPEN?
NO. IT'S INSIDE
THE BULKHEAD.
I CAN'T GET TO IT.
WE BETTER OPEN A HOLE
BETWEEN TWO COMPARTMENTS
AHEAD OF TIME.
WE'LL GET TOO HIGH
AND BLACK OUT.
HOW HIGH IS TOO HIGH?
15,000 FEET.
GIVE ME A READING
EVERY 1,000 FEET.
CHECK.
11,000.
12,000.
13,000 FEET.
14,000.
[ AIR HISSING ]
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
[ BREATHING DEEPLY ]
FRESH AIR
NEVER SMELLED SO SWEET.
THE PLANE
WILL BE LANDING SOON
TO PICK UP CURZON.
WHEW!
YOU HAVE AN ENEMY...
A MOST POWERFUL ONE.
I HAVE DOZENS OF THEM.
THIS ENEMY WILL DESTROY YOU
UNLESS YOU DESTROY HIM FIRST.
THIS ENEMY --
DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?
NO, I KNOW
ONLY HE IS SCORPIO,
AND THAT HE
IS NO STRANGER TO YOU.
WHAT MONTH IS SCORPIO?
OCTOBER 23rd, NOVEMBER 21st.
PERHAPS I CAN DISCOVER
MORE ABOUT HIM FOR YOU.
WELL, I SHOULD BE
VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW.
TAKE A LOOK.
WE MUST BE LANDING TO PICK
UP CURZON AND STAHL.
AS SOON AS THAT SEAT BELT
SIGN GOES ON, WE MOVE.
RIGHT.
[ BUZZING ]
DO WE LAND SO SOON?
JUST A BRIEF STOPOVER
TO PICK UP ONE
OF OUR AMBASSADORS
WHO BECAME ILL WHILE VISITING
OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY.
I HOPE IT IS NOT SERIOUS.
I'M AFRAID
IT'S GOING TO BE FATAL.
WE'RE LANDING.
HOLD ON.
PLEASE EXCUSE ME,
I WILL GO AND SEE
THAT POOR MAN
IS MADE COMFORTABLE.
BUT OF COURSE.
PUT HIM ON THE BED.
EXCELLENCY.
HOW LONG WILL HE REMAIN
UNCONSCIOUS, COLONEL?
UNTIL WE REACH VESCA.
HE'S BEEN HEAVILY SEDATED.
GOOD, BUT I WANT TRUBNER
TO STAY WITH HIM
IN CASE HE SHOULD
WAKE UP SOONER.
VERY WELL.
THE MICROFILM,
COLONEL.
WE ARE ALL ANXIOUS TO SEE
WHICH NAMES
ARE ON THIS LIST, EH?
AS YOU KNOW,
NO ONE IS TO SEE IT
BUT THE CHANCELLOR.
MY ORDERS ARE THAT IT
BE PLACED IN THE SAFE
UNTIL WE
REACH THE CAPITAL.
IT'S IN THE SAFE.
WHAT ABOUT CURZON?
HE'S IN THE COMPARTMENT
WITH TRUBNER.
HOW'S THE RADIO COMING?
ALL SET.
THEY CAN TUNE IN
ANY FREQUENCY THEY LIKE,
AND THEY'LL GET
AN ANSWER...FROM US.
COLONEL STAHL, I SHOULD
LIKE YOU TO MEET
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
A VERY GIFTED ASTROLOGER.
WHO AUTHORIZED THIS?
THE CHANCELLOR HIMSELF.
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
JUST ONE HOUR AGO,
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY SAVED
THE CHANCELLOR'S LIFE!
IT IS JUST POSSIBLE
THAT THE CHANCELLOR DID
NOT NEED YOUR PERMISSION
TO THANK HER PERSONALLY.
LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AGO,
I SPOKE WITH HIS EXCELLENCY
ON THE TELEPHONE.
HE HAD INJURED HIS BACK
IN A FALL THIS MORNING
AND HAS BEEN CONFINED
TO BED ALL DAY.
HE DID NOT MENTION HER.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
MR. DEPUTY CHANCELLOR.
YOU WILL REGRET
YOUR ATTITUDE, COLONEL.
PERHAPS.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
W-256 CALLING RED DEER.
Stahl:
W-256 calling Red Deer.
[ With accent ]
THIS IS RED DEER, W-256.
REQUEST CODE FIVE.
REQUEST CODE FIVE.
ACKNOWLEDGE CODE FIVE.
[ BELL RINGS ]
[ As Chancellor ]
YES? THIS IS THE CHANCELLOR.
THIS IS COLONEL STAHL,
EXCELLENCY.
PLEASE ADVISE ME
REGARDING THE PRESENCE
OF AN ASTROLOGER,
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
ON THE PLANE.
SHE IS THERE ON MY ORDERS.
BUT, EXCELLENCY, I SPOKE
WITH YOU ON THE TELEPHONE
only a short while ago,
and you did not tell me
about her at that time.
THERE WAS
NO NEED TO TELL YOU.
YOUR ORDERS
ARE TO BRING CURZON
and the microfilm to me
as soon as possible.
VERY WELL, EXCELLENCY.
WE WILL TAKE OFF AT ONCE.
I THINK YOU OWE ME
AN APOLOGY, COLONEL.
[ BUZZING ]
YOU KNOW, MY DEAR,
I THINK I WILL SUGGEST
TO THE CHANCELLOR
THAT YOU BE MADE HEAD
OF THE SECRET POLICE.
I THINK YOU ARE
MUCH MORE QUALIFIED
THAN COLONEL STAHL.
DO NOT GO TOO FAR,
GRIGOV.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE COLONEL DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY.
DO YOU, STAHL?
I DO NOT.
COLONEL, PERHAPS I CAN
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
HMM?
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
WHAT'S WRONG, COLONEL?
ARE YOU AFRAID TO HAVE
THE MADEMOISELLE
CAST YOUR HOROSCOPE?
IF THE MADEMOISELLE
HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO...
I WAS BORN ON THE 27th DAY
OF OCTOBER, 1932.
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
SCORPIO.
STAHL AND I HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN ENEMIES,
BUT HE WOULD NEVER DARE
OPPOSE ME OPENLY.
SCORPIOS
MAKE SKILLFUL FORGERS.
THE SUN IN SCORPIO
IS INCLINING HIM
TOWARD SECRETIVE AFFAIRS.
IT COULD HAVE TO DO
WITH A SECRET DOCUMENT.
COLONEL STAHL,
WHETHER OR NOT YOU
BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY,
THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING
ABOARD THIS AIRPLANE
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF.
WHAT THINGS,
MADEMOISELLE?
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO ONE WAS TO SEE
THAT MICROFILM
BEFORE THE CHANCELLOR.
YOU PIG.
THIS IS A FORGERY.
YOU ADDED MY NAME
TO THE LIST AND TRUBNER'S.
I WONDERED IF YOUR NAME
WOULD BE ON THAT LIST.
OBVIOUSLY,
YOU KNEW IT WOULD BE.
YOU PUT IT THERE.
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME
LOOK LIKE I AM A TRAITOR.
I WILL TAKE
THE MICROFILM, GRIGOV.
IT WON'T WORK, STAHL.
GIVE IT TO ME!
GIVE IT TO ME.
WHAT IS IT, COLONEL?
THESE TWO ARE TO BE
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
I AM NOW IN COMMAND
OF THIS PLANE.
WHAT IS THE CHARGE?
TREASON.
BUT IT WON'T WORK, STAHL.
THE CHANCELLOR WILL
BELIEVE ME, NOT YOU.
THE CHANCELLOR WILL
BELIEVE HIS OWN EYES.
W-256 CALLING RED DEER.
YOU WERE
RIGHT ABOUT STAHL.
HE HAS FORGED A DOCUMENT
THAT NAMES ME A TRAITOR.
YOU MUST TELL THE CHANCELLOR
WHAT THE CHARTS SAID.
CONVINCE HIM
THAT I'M TOTALLY INNOCENT.
BUT OF COURSE.
IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO.
YES, I HAVE THE LIST,
EXCELLENCY.
BOTH GRIGOV AND TRUBNER'S
NAMES ARE ON IT.
[ As Chancellor ] THEN I NO
LONGER KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
I WILL BE
LEAVING THE CAPITAL
AND GOING
TO MY SUMMER RESIDENCE.
YOU WILL TAKE CHARGE
DURING MY ABSENCE.
I WANT EVERYONE
ON THAT LIST ARRESTED.
I UNDERSTAND.
OH, YES, ONE MORE THING --
I WOULD LIKE
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY
WITH ME.
LAND THE PLANE AT THE AIRPORT
NEAR MY SUMMER RESIDENCE.
A car will pick her up.
VERY WELL, EXCELLENCY.
YOUR PERCEPTION
AND DILIGENCE
WILL NOT
GO UNREWARDED, STAHL.
CONTACT ME WHEN
YOU REACH THE CAPITAL.
[ Normal voice ]
HIS PERCEPTION
AND DILIGENCE WILL GET
STAHL A FIRING SQUAD.
PERHAPS I UNDERESTIMATED
YOUR GIFT, MADEMOISELLE.
I KNEW THAT HIS HOROSCOPE
AND YOURS WERE IN CONFLICT,
AND THAT HE WAS GOING
TO DO SOMETHING DESPERATE.
I THOUGHT IT MY DUTY
TO WARN YOU.
THE PREMIER HAS ASKED
THAT YOU BE TAKEN
TO HIS SUMMER RESIDENCE
WHERE IT IS SAFER.
WE WILL BE LANDING
VERY SOON
AT AN AIRPORT NEARBY.
[ BUZZING ]
AH!
[ ALARM BUZZING ]
WHAT IS IT?
AN EMERGENCY ALARM
IS ON.
CURZON! STAY WITH THEM!
[ BUZZING CONTINUES ]
THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
WHO WAS HE?
HE WAS A TRAITOR.
[ KNOCKS ]
[ KNOCKS BACK ]
MERCI. I HOPE WE
MEET AGAIN SOON.
I AM SURE WE WILL,
MADEMOISELLE.
WILL HE BE ALL RIGHT?
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT
IN A FEW MINUTES.
DID YOU
GET THE MICROFILM?
NIKOLAI CURZON, IN SPITE
OF HIS EXILE FROM VESCA
BY THE MILITARY JUNTA
THAT TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY,
HAS CONTINUED TO LEAD
A POPULAR MOVEMENT
TO OVERTHROW THIS DICTATORSHIP.

YOU'LL BE TAKING
OFF THAT PLANE --
NIKOLAI CURZON.

WATER HE BATHES,
WATER HE DRINKS,
IT COULD BE --
THE POOL.
HE SWIMS
EVERY DAY AT 2:00.
EXCELLENCY,
YOU MUST STOP HIM.
IT'S A CALL
FOR GRIGOV.
FIND OUT WHO IT IS.
THERE IS A CALL
FOR YOU, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
IT IS THE CHANCELLOR.
IT WOULD SEEM AS IF THE
CHANCELLOR WERE PSYCHIC.
I WAS ABOUT TO CALL HIM,
AND HE CALLS ME INSTEAD.
IT'S THE CHANCELLOR,
THE REAL ONE.
YOUR EXCELLENCY...
DISCONNECT THEM.
[ DIAL TONE ]
WE'VE BEEN CUT OFF.
CUT ME IN.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
IT'S RINGING.
[ With accent ]
CHANCELLERY.
HELLO.
THIS IS DEPUTY CHANCELLOR
GRIGOV SPEAKING.
THE CHANCELLOR WAS
TRYING TO REACH ME.
[ As Chancellor ] GRIGOV,
I JUST WANTED TO SEE
IF EVERYTHING
WAS ALL RIGHT.
WHEN WILL YOU BE LEAVING?
ANY MOMENT NOW,
YOUR EXCELLENCY.
THERE IS A WOMAN
HERE AT THE AIRPORT,
AN ASTROLOGER.
SHE INSISTS THAT YOU
ARE IN GREAT DANGER.
AN ASTROLOGER? WHO?
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY.
OH, YES, YES.
SHE IS MOST GIFTED.
WHAT DANGER DOES SHE SEE?
SOMETHING ABOUT WATER.
SHE SAYS YOU MUST NOT
GO INTO THE POOL TODAY.
I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO CALL YOU TO TELL --
OH, JUST, JUST A MOMENT.
KARL, EXAMINE THE POOL!
NO, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT FOR.
IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
JUST EXAMINE THE POOL.
[ MAN SCREAMING ]
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
[ SILENCE ]
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
ARE YOU THERE?!
EXCELLENCY!
TERRIBLE. HE'S DEAD.
YOUR EXCELLENCY!
SOMEBODY WIRED THE POOL
WITH A HIGH-VOLTAGE
ELECTRICAL CHARGE.
IF IT HAD NOT BEEN
FOR MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ME.
BUT WHO?
I SUGGEST YOU QUESTION
NIKOLAI CURZON.
HE WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER.
BRING HIM TO ME AT ONCE!
AND, YES,
HAVE MADEMOISELLE VARNAY
RETURN ON THE SAME PLANE
WITH YOU.
VERY WELL, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
WHEW!
NOW WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE CHANCELLOR
CAN'T CALL GRIGOV BEFORE
THAT PLANE'S IN THE AIR.
THOSE TWO TRUNKS
ARE MINE.
THIS SEEMS A GREAT DEAL
OF LUGGAGE, MADEMOISELLE.
OH, NO, NO, EXCELLENCY,
NOT FOR A WORLD TOUR.
I HAVE NOT BEEN HOME
FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
PERHAPS IF TRUBNER WERE
TO INSPECT YOUR BAGGAGE
BEFORE WE BOARD THE PLANE,
IT WOULD SAVE YOU
THE ORDEAL
OF HAVING THE CUSTOMS
INSPECT IT
WHEN WE LAND IN VESCA.
THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD.
SHALL WE BOARD
OUR PLANE?
OF COURSE.
ARE THESE THE TRUNKS
FOR THE DEPUTY
CHANCELLOR'S PLANE?
MADEMOISELLE, IF YOU
WOULD CARE TO SIT HERE.
MERCI.
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
[ SIGN BUZZING ]
IF YOU WILL PERMIT ME,
MADEMOISELLE.
I AM AFRAID I'M VERY SKEPTICAL
ABOUT ASTROLOGY.
MOST PEOPLE ARE...
UNTIL THEY HAVE THEIR
HOROSCOPE MADE JUST FOR THEM.
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
THE 5th OF MAY, 1915.
[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
[ TAKES DEEP BREATH ]
I'M HAVING TROUBLE
BREATHING.
[ TAKES DEEP BREATH ]
THE AIR'S GETTING THIN.
THERE'S NO AIR
COMING IN.
THE LINE MUST BE BROKEN.
CAN YOU GET IT OPEN?
NO. IT'S INSIDE
THE BULKHEAD.
I CAN'T GET TO IT.
WE BETTER OPEN A HOLE
BETWEEN TWO COMPARTMENTS
AHEAD OF TIME.
WE'LL GET TOO HIGH
AND BLACK OUT.
HOW HIGH IS TOO HIGH?
15,000 FEET.
GIVE ME A READING
EVERY 1,000 FEET.
CHECK.
11,000.
12,000.
13,000 FEET.
14,000.
[ AIR HISSING ]
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
[ BREATHING DEEPLY ]
FRESH AIR
NEVER SMELLED SO SWEET.
THE PLANE
WILL BE LANDING SOON
TO PICK UP CURZON.
WHEW!
YOU HAVE AN ENEMY...
A MOST POWERFUL ONE.
I HAVE DOZENS OF THEM.
THIS ENEMY WILL DESTROY YOU
UNLESS YOU DESTROY HIM FIRST.
THIS ENEMY --
DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?
NO, I KNOW
ONLY HE IS SCORPIO,
AND THAT HE
IS NO STRANGER TO YOU.
WHAT MONTH IS SCORPIO?
OCTOBER 23rd, NOVEMBER 21st.
PERHAPS I CAN DISCOVER
MORE ABOUT HIM FOR YOU.
WELL, I SHOULD BE
VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW.
TAKE A LOOK.
WE MUST BE LANDING TO PICK
UP CURZON AND STAHL.
AS SOON AS THAT SEAT BELT
SIGN GOES ON, WE MOVE.
RIGHT.
[ BUZZING ]
DO WE LAND SO SOON?
JUST A BRIEF STOPOVER
TO PICK UP ONE
OF OUR AMBASSADORS
WHO BECAME ILL WHILE VISITING
OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY.
I HOPE IT IS NOT SERIOUS.
I'M AFRAID
IT'S GOING TO BE FATAL.
WE'RE LANDING.
HOLD ON.
PLEASE EXCUSE ME,
I WILL GO AND SEE
THAT POOR MAN
IS MADE COMFORTABLE.
BUT OF COURSE.
PUT HIM ON THE BED.
EXCELLENCY.
HOW LONG WILL HE REMAIN
UNCONSCIOUS, COLONEL?
UNTIL WE REACH VESCA.
HE'S BEEN HEAVILY SEDATED.
GOOD, BUT I WANT TRUBNER
TO STAY WITH HIM
IN CASE HE SHOULD
WAKE UP SOONER.
VERY WELL.
THE MICROFILM,
COLONEL.
WE ARE ALL ANXIOUS TO SEE
WHICH NAMES
ARE ON THIS LIST, EH?
AS YOU KNOW,
NO ONE IS TO SEE IT
BUT THE CHANCELLOR.
MY ORDERS ARE THAT IT
BE PLACED IN THE SAFE
UNTIL WE
REACH THE CAPITAL.
IT'S IN THE SAFE.
WHAT ABOUT CURZON?
HE'S IN THE COMPARTMENT
WITH TRUBNER.
HOW'S THE RADIO COMING?
ALL SET.
THEY CAN TUNE IN
ANY FREQUENCY THEY LIKE,
AND THEY'LL GET
AN ANSWER...FROM US.
COLONEL STAHL, I SHOULD
LIKE YOU TO MEET
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
A VERY GIFTED ASTROLOGER.
WHO AUTHORIZED THIS?
THE CHANCELLOR HIMSELF.
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
JUST ONE HOUR AGO,
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY SAVED
THE CHANCELLOR'S LIFE!
IT IS JUST POSSIBLE
THAT THE CHANCELLOR DID
NOT NEED YOUR PERMISSION
TO THANK HER PERSONALLY.
LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AGO,
I SPOKE WITH HIS EXCELLENCY
ON THE TELEPHONE.
HE HAD INJURED HIS BACK
IN A FALL THIS MORNING
AND HAS BEEN CONFINED
TO BED ALL DAY.
HE DID NOT MENTION HER.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
MR. DEPUTY CHANCELLOR.
YOU WILL REGRET
YOUR ATTITUDE, COLONEL.
PERHAPS.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
W-256 CALLING RED DEER.
Stahl:
W-256 calling Red Deer.
[ With accent ]
THIS IS RED DEER, W-256.
REQUEST CODE FIVE.
REQUEST CODE FIVE.
ACKNOWLEDGE CODE FIVE.
[ BELL RINGS ]
[ As Chancellor ]
YES? THIS IS THE CHANCELLOR.
THIS IS COLONEL STAHL,
EXCELLENCY.
PLEASE ADVISE ME
REGARDING THE PRESENCE
OF AN ASTROLOGER,
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY,
ON THE PLANE.
SHE IS THERE ON MY ORDERS.
BUT, EXCELLENCY, I SPOKE
WITH YOU ON THE TELEPHONE
only a short while ago,
and you did not tell me
about her at that time.
THERE WAS
NO NEED TO TELL YOU.
YOUR ORDERS
ARE TO BRING CURZON
and the microfilm to me
as soon as possible.
VERY WELL, EXCELLENCY.
WE WILL TAKE OFF AT ONCE.
I THINK YOU OWE ME
AN APOLOGY, COLONEL.
[ BUZZING ]
YOU KNOW, MY DEAR,
I THINK I WILL SUGGEST
TO THE CHANCELLOR
THAT YOU BE MADE HEAD
OF THE SECRET POLICE.
I THINK YOU ARE
MUCH MORE QUALIFIED
THAN COLONEL STAHL.
DO NOT GO TOO FAR,
GRIGOV.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE COLONEL DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY.
DO YOU, STAHL?
I DO NOT.
COLONEL, PERHAPS I CAN
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
HMM?
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
WHAT'S WRONG, COLONEL?
ARE YOU AFRAID TO HAVE
THE MADEMOISELLE
CAST YOUR HOROSCOPE?
IF THE MADEMOISELLE
HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO...
I WAS BORN ON THE 27th DAY
OF OCTOBER, 1932.
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
SCORPIO.
STAHL AND I HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN ENEMIES,
BUT HE WOULD NEVER DARE
OPPOSE ME OPENLY.
SCORPIOS
MAKE SKILLFUL FORGERS.
THE SUN IN SCORPIO
IS INCLINING HIM
TOWARD SECRETIVE AFFAIRS.
IT COULD HAVE TO DO
WITH A SECRET DOCUMENT.
COLONEL STAHL,
WHETHER OR NOT YOU
BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY,
THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING
ABOARD THIS AIRPLANE
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF.
WHAT THINGS,
MADEMOISELLE?
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO ONE WAS TO SEE
THAT MICROFILM
BEFORE THE CHANCELLOR.
YOU PIG.
THIS IS A FORGERY.
YOU ADDED MY NAME
TO THE LIST AND TRUBNER'S.
I WONDERED IF YOUR NAME
WOULD BE ON THAT LIST.
OBVIOUSLY,
YOU KNEW IT WOULD BE.
YOU PUT IT THERE.
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME
LOOK LIKE I AM A TRAITOR.
I WILL TAKE
THE MICROFILM, GRIGOV.
IT WON'T WORK, STAHL.
GIVE IT TO ME!
GIVE IT TO ME.
WHAT IS IT, COLONEL?
THESE TWO ARE TO BE
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
I AM NOW IN COMMAND
OF THIS PLANE.
WHAT IS THE CHARGE?
TREASON.
BUT IT WON'T WORK, STAHL.
THE CHANCELLOR WILL
BELIEVE ME, NOT YOU.
THE CHANCELLOR WILL
BELIEVE HIS OWN EYES.
W-256 CALLING RED DEER.
YOU WERE
RIGHT ABOUT STAHL.
HE HAS FORGED A DOCUMENT
THAT NAMES ME A TRAITOR.
YOU MUST TELL THE CHANCELLOR
WHAT THE CHARTS SAID.
CONVINCE HIM
THAT I'M TOTALLY INNOCENT.
BUT OF COURSE.
IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO.
YES, I HAVE THE LIST,
EXCELLENCY.
BOTH GRIGOV AND TRUBNER'S
NAMES ARE ON IT.
[ As Chancellor ] THEN I NO
LONGER KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
I WILL BE
LEAVING THE CAPITAL
AND GOING
TO MY SUMMER RESIDENCE.
YOU WILL TAKE CHARGE
DURING MY ABSENCE.
I WANT EVERYONE
ON THAT LIST ARRESTED.
I UNDERSTAND.
OH, YES, ONE MORE THING --
I WOULD LIKE
MADEMOISELLE VARNAY
WITH ME.
LAND THE PLANE AT THE AIRPORT
NEAR MY SUMMER RESIDENCE.
A car will pick her up.
VERY WELL, EXCELLENCY.
YOUR PERCEPTION
AND DILIGENCE
WILL NOT
GO UNREWARDED, STAHL.
CONTACT ME WHEN
YOU REACH THE CAPITAL.
[ Normal voice ]
HIS PERCEPTION
AND DILIGENCE WILL GET
STAHL A FIRING SQUAD.
PERHAPS I UNDERESTIMATED
YOUR GIFT, MADEMOISELLE.
I KNEW THAT HIS HOROSCOPE
AND YOURS WERE IN CONFLICT,
AND THAT HE WAS GOING
TO DO SOMETHING DESPERATE.
I THOUGHT IT MY DUTY
TO WARN YOU.
THE PREMIER HAS ASKED
THAT YOU BE TAKEN
TO HIS SUMMER RESIDENCE
WHERE IT IS SAFER.
WE WILL BE LANDING
VERY SOON
AT AN AIRPORT NEARBY.
[ BUZZING ]
AH!
[ ALARM BUZZING ]
WHAT IS IT?
AN EMERGENCY ALARM
IS ON.
CURZON! STAY WITH THEM!
[ BUZZING CONTINUES ]
THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
WHO WAS HE?
HE WAS A TRAITOR.
[ KNOCKS ]
[ KNOCKS BACK ]
MERCI. I HOPE WE
MEET AGAIN SOON.
I AM SURE WE WILL,
MADEMOISELLE.
WILL HE BE ALL RIGHT?
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT
IN A FEW MINUTES.
DID YOU
GET THE MICROFILM?
