Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 2, Episode 15 - The Photographer - full transcript
The team's latest mission has them trying to root out a network of spies, who were brought in by an American photographer. Problem is the code that he and his handlers communicate with unbreakable. So they devise a plan to get him to reveal the method of decoding his communications. And their plan has him asking for Cinnamon to pose for him. And during their photo shoot she displays knowledge of bio chemistry which the photographer decides to exploit.
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
IS DAVID REDDING,
ONE OF THE TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS
IN THE COUNTRY.
HE IS ALSO THE CONTACT
FOR A SPY APPARATUS
THAT HAS SECRETLY BROUGHT
150 AGENTS
INTO THE UNITED STATES
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
YESTERDAY, ONE OF THE AGENTS
WAS PICKED UP.
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET
ANY INFORMATION FROM HIM,
EXCEPT THAT THEY CARRY DEADLY
PNEUMONIC PLAGUE BACILLUS,
WHICH IS TO BE RELEASED
ON OUR POPULATION
WITHIN 72 HOURS.
WE HAVE DOZENS
OF CODED MESSAGES
IN AND OUT
OF REDDING'S HEADQUARTERS,
WHICH WE ARE CERTAIN LOCATE
AND IDENTIFY THE AGENTS.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE SO FAR
BEEN UNABLE TO BREAK
REDDING'S CODE.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO GET THE KEY
TO THE CODE
SO WE CAN PICK UP THOSE AGENTS
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
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.
THIS RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
YOU'VE GOT IT.
SURE.
I HOPE I REMEMBER IT.
YOU'D BETTER.
OH, FRAN WILLIAMS
OF ELITE MAGAZINE
SAID SHE'LL COOPERATE FULLY,
CINNAMON.
I WAS SURE SHE WOULD.
NOW, THIS IS
REDDING'S HOME AND STUDIO.
THIS IS WHERE HE DOES
HIS PHOTOGRAPHY.
IT'S SET OFF
A SMALL COUNTRY ROAD.
NO OTHER HOMES AROUND IT.
THIS IS THE BOMB SHELTER
ABOUT 50 YARDS FROM THE HOUSE,
WHERE HE DOES TRANSMITTING
AND RECEIVING.
IT ALSO HAS
AUXILIARY POWER --
WATER TANKS, AIR FILTRATION,
AND EVEN A PERISCOPE.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
MR. REDDING
WON'T GIVE UP THE INFORMATION
WE WANT SO EASILY.
THAT'S WHY THEY HADN'T
PICKED HIM UP, SO THAT...
WE CAN WORK ON HIM.
NOW, ARE YOU SET WITH
THE JAMMING EQUIPMENT?
READY TO GO, JIM.
THE GUN PERMITS?
NEITHER HAS ONE.
THEY'RE TOO SMART TO CARRY GUNS
WITHOUT A PERMIT.
CHECK ANY GUNS THEY HAVE
AROUND THE HOUSE.
AND IN THE BOMB SHELTER.
THE NAMES AND LOCATIONS
OF THE AGENTS
CARRYING THE BACILLUS
HAVE GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE
IN THESE CODED MESSAGES.
A TEAM OF CRYPTOGRAPHERS
HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT.
THEY CAN'T BREAK THE CODE.
I THOUGHT ANY CODE
COULD BE BROKEN.
NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
CODES BASED ON A CHANGING
PROGRESSION OF RANDOM NUMBERS
CAN'T POSSIBLY BE BROKEN
WITHOUT THE KEY.
SO WE GET THE KEY.
Man: OH, THAT'S LOVELY,
LOVELY, LOVELY.
A LITTLE MORE HAIR,
LOTS OF HAIR,
THAT -- OH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL,
HOLD THAT.
HOLD THAT.
NOW COME DOWN WITH ME,
THAT'S LOVELY, LOVELY.
LOVELY, LOVELY.
OVER HERE, OVER HERE,
OKAY, LET'S SEE SOMETHING.
COME ON, COME ON.
OH, BEAUTIFUL,
BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL!
YES. YES. OH, YES.
SUPER!
WIND IT UP, DAVID.
WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.
A COUPLE MORE.
BRING IT ACROSS,
STEP RIGHT OVER ME.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NICE,
NOW COME BACK OVER ME.
THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT,
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL, THAT'S RIGHT.
LOVELY!
THAT'S NICE.
NOW UP HERE. UP HERE.
BEAUTIFUL. FOCUS. FOCUS.
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL. LOOK UP HERE.
TILT UP. TILT UP.
TILT UP.
LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY.
Man: DAVID, YOU'VE GOT MORE
THAN ENOUGH FOR THIS LAYOUT.
I JUST NEED A COUPLE MORE.
THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NICE. THAT'S NICE.
OH, GOOD. GOOD.
PERFECT. HOLD IT.
OKAY, OKAY. JUST A COUPLE MORE.
THERE. BEAUTIFUL.
HOLD THAT. HOLD THAT.
LOVELY. LOVELY.
THAT'S IT FOR TODAY.
MY SWEET,
YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
THANK YOU, BABY. CIAO.
SEE YOU SOON.
OOH.
WE'D BETTER
GET OUT THERE.
[ MACHINE TYPING ]
Redding: HMM.
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE...
[ MUMBLING ]
IT'S ABOUT CHANNING,
THE AGENT
WHO WAS PICKED UP.
THEY WANT TO KNOW
IF HE TALKED
AND IF ANY NEW PLANS
WERE MADE
BASED ON WHAT
HE MIGHT HAVE SAID.
ANYTHING ELSE?
OH, THAT WILL DO.
MORNING, SANDY.
HI, FRANNY.
HELLO, DAVID.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WE'VE GOT TO GET THE ELITE
PERSONALITIES FEATURE
FINISHED UP THIS WEEK.
DO THE LAYOUT ON BILLY LAND.
BILLY LAND? HE'S THAT KID
WHO MAKES RECORDS.
HE'S A MILLIONAIRE AT 19.
THE FACTS
ARE ON THIS SHEET.
SANDY SHOULD HAVE
THE APPOINTMENT SET UP FOR YOU.
SANDY, WHAT ABOUT THAT
APPOINTMENT WITH BILLY LAND?
BUT HE KNEW ABOUT THIS.
ALL RIGHT, I GUESS
YOU'D BETTER CABLE GORMAN
IN THE LONDON OFFICE.
HE CAN HAVE SIMPSON
SHOOT IT.
THE NUT LEFT FOR EUROPE
LAST NIGHT.
HA HA HA.
WELL, WHAT'S THE SECOND NAME
ON THAT LIST?
"CINNAMON CARTER CRAWFORD."
YOU CAN SHOOT HER INSTEAD.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST AS WELL.
YOU DO BETTER PICTURES OF WOMEN.
A BIOCHEMIST WHO USED TO BE
ONE OF YOUR COVER GIRLS?
BEAUTY AND BRAINS.
THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING.
I'M GOING TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THIS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
MR. PHELPS?
FRAN WILLIAMS.
HE'S ON HIS WAY.
THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
YES?
I HAVE MR. REDDING HERE,
DR. CRAWFORD.
ALL RIGHT, JUST GIVE ME
A MOMENT, PLEASE.
THANK YOU, JOSHUA.
HI. COME ON IN.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
WOULD YOU LIKE
A CUP OF COFFEE?
OH, NO, THANKS.
THIS IS NOT AN EASY PLACE
TO GET INTO.
YES, I KNOW.
A TEAM OF US
ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT
FOR THE FEDERAL
SECURITY DEPARTMENT.
VERY TOP SECRET.
I SEE. I REMEMBER YOU.
I MUST HAVE SEEN YOU
ON A DOZEN ELITE COVERS.
THOSE WERE FUN TIMES.
WE WANT TO DO
A LAYOUT ON YOU.
FRAN CALLED, BUT I TOLD HER
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE IMPOSSIBLE.
WHY NOT?
TIME.
IT WOULD ONLY TAKE
A FEW HOURS.
I COULD SHOOT YOU HERE.
I'VE GOT MY CAMERAS
IN THE CAR.
NO, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
OUT OF THE QUESTION.
CAMERAS ARE STRICTLY
VERBOTEN IN HERE.
I'M SORRY. IT PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN.
LISTEN, WE DON'T HAVE
TO DO THE LAYOUT HERE.
I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA.
I'LL PUT TOGETHER
A STYLIZED SET AT MY STUDIO,
AND WE COULD SHOOT
SOME FASHION STUFF
AS WELL AS
THE PERSONALITY LAYOUT.
WHY NOT?
HUH?
FORMER MODEL BACK
IN HARNESS...
FRAN WILL LOVE IT.
BUT WHEN?
UH, TOMORROW'S SATURDAY.
IF YOU'RE FREE,
COME ON TOMORROW.
I THINK YOU'RE SERIOUS.
I AM.
CAN I BRING MY HUSBAND?
Y--
HUSBANDS ARE WELCOME.
LOAD ME UP, ALEX.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW DO I LOOK?
FANTASTIC.
AND THEN SOME.
I THOUGHT WE'D TRY SOME
FASHION POSES OVER HERE
BY THE LAB STUFF...
BEHIND THE BOTTLES.
OKAY...
THAT'S GOOD.
MOVE A LITTLE TO YOUR LEFT.
AH, THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
UH-HUH, UH-HUH,
PERFECT.
OKAY, OPEN IT UP A LITTLE,
LITTLE MORE EXCITEMENT.
YES, THAT'S BETTER.
THAT'S BETTER.
REMEMBER,
YOU'RE A SEXY BIOCHEMIST.
HO HO HO HO.
YOU REALLY ARE.
PERFECT! NOW TURN
WITH YOUR BACK TOWARD ME...
YOUR BACK TO ME,
AND THEN COME BACK
THIS WAY VERY SLOWLY.
OKAY.
DAVID.
WHAT?
WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU'VE WRITTEN THERE?
UH, I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT THERE
SHOULD BE SOME SORT
OF CHEMICAL FORMULA ON IT.
THAT WOULD BE NICE,
EXCEPT THAT WHAT YOU'VE
WRITTEN IN FACT IS A KIND
OF WONDERFUL COMBINATION
OF TURPENTINE AND OATMEAL.
HA HA HA.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
Alex: HA HA HA HA.
HA HA HA.
SHALL I FIX IT?
FOR THE CHEMISTS
AMONG OUR READERS,
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD.
ALEX, CLEAN OFF THE BOARD.
CERTAINLY.
I HAD TO MENTION IT --
SECOND NATURE.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I'M NOT.
I'M GLAD YOU NOTICED.
LISTEN, I THINK I WILL
LEAVE YOU TWO TO WORK
AND TAKE
A LITTLE STROLL, HMM?
GOOD IDEA.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
WE'LL BE AT THIS
FOR A FEW HOURS.
I'LL BE BACK IN A WHILE.
HAVE FUN.
MY CONTRIBUTION...
TO SCIENCE.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I KNEW YOU'D LIKE IT.
OKAY, LET'S GET BACK
TO WORK.
PERFECT! THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD...LOVELY,
LOVELY, LOVELY.
YES, THAT'S NICE.
NOW OPEN IT UP.
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.
[ CLICK ]
[ CLICK ]
YES, IT'S PERFECT.
PERFECT!
YES, THAT IS LOVELY!
[ CLICK ]
[ CLICK ]
LOVELY, LOVELY!
COULDN'T BE LOVELIER.
THAT DOES THIS OUTFIT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
A SMOKE AND CHANGE?
HOW AM I DOING?
MY SWEET,
YOU'RE A NATURAL.
DAVID, I'VE DONE
SOMETHING TERRIBLE.
THAT FORMULA
IS TOP SECRET.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT
WHEN I WAS WRITING IT.
I'LL HAVE TO HAVE
THE FILM.
WE GOT SOME GREAT STUFF!
PLEASE.
OH.
DIG IT OUT, ALEX.
THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
I'M SORRY, DAVID.
I GUESS THIS BUSINESS
OF WORKING ON ALL THIS
TOP SECRET MATERIAL
IS GETTING TO ME --
THE SECURITY, THE GUARDS,
THE CONSTANT REMINDER
THAT THEY ARE LISTENING.
I HATE IT. IT SCARES ME.
I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS BEING
A SECURITY RISK JUST SCARES ME.
I'M SORRY, DAVID.
FORGET IT.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
NOW, LET'S START AGAIN.
I'LL WRITE YOU ANOTHER ONE.
NO OATMEAL.
NO TURPENTINE.
[ BLOWTORCH HISSING ]
Redding: OKAY, OKAY.
THAT'S PERFECT.
GIVE ME THE SAME THING
GOING THE OTHER WAY.
THAT A GIRL. THAT A GIRL.
THAT'S NICE.
UP. YEAH.
NOW COME TOWARDS ME.
YES, YES, YES.
THAT'S IT.
GOOD. HOLD THAT.
JUST A MINUTE. THAT'S LOVELY.
Redding: WORK YOUR WAY
TOWARD ALEX A LITTLE.
I WANT TO SPLIT
THE BACKGROUND.
THAT A GIRL.
THAT'S NICE.
BEAUTIFUL.
LET'S DO THAT AGAIN.
RAISING UP JUST A BIT.
OH, THAT'S LOVELY.
LOVELY.
PERFECT.
A LITTLE MORE FOG, ALEX.
THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NICE.
A LITTLE MORE TOWARD ME.
HOW'S IT GOING?
WE'LL MAKE THIS
THE LAST SHOT.
OH, THAT'S LOVELY.
PERFECT. WRAP IT UP.
SAVE THE FOG.
WAS IT AS MUCH FUN
AS YOU REMEMBERED?
YES, BUT MORE WORK
THAN I REMEMBERED.
I'LL GET MY THINGS.
OKAY.
GET STARTED
IN THE DARKROOM, ALEX.
Alex: RIGHT.
DAVID,
I WANT TO THANK YOU.
IT'S MY PLEASURE.
WHETHER THE MAGAZINE
USES THE PICTURES OR NOT,
I'VE NEVER SEEN HER
SO EXCITED.
WHO WAS?
NEVER MIND.
THANK YOU. I HOPE
THE PICTURES ARE GOOD.
THEY WILL BE, MY SWEET.
THEY'RE OF YOU.
BYE.
THANKS AGAIN.
I'LL SHOW YOU OUT.
NO, NO, NO.
WE'LL FIND OUR WAY.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
IT'S THE FORMULA FOR IACINE
METHYL-THIONINE CHLORIDE,
THE CULTURE MEDIUM
THE BACILLUS IS SUPPORTED IN.
SHE MAY BE WORKING ON SOME MEANS
OF COMBATING OUR PROJECT.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THE CENTER THINKS.
THEY WANT US TO FIND OUT
EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS.
DO YOU THINK
SHE'LL TALK?
HA HA HA.
SHE'LL TALK.
THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT,
MY SWEET. MAGNIFICENT.
OH, DAVID, I'M SO PLEASED.
I'M JUST DYING TO SEE THEM.
WHY DON'T YOU
AND YOUR HUSBAND DRIVE UP?
DAVID, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
AT THE FEDERAL
SECURITY DEPARTMENT.
NONSENSE. IT'S SUNDAY.
NOBODY WORKS ON SUNDAY.
I'LL EXPECT YOU FOR BRUNCH.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL BE THERE,
BUT WE'LL RUSH BACK.
OKAY. SEE YOU
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
OKAY, ALEX.
HEY, LET ME SEE THESE.
THEY'RE GOOD.
TOO BAD NOBODY
WILL EVER SEE THEM.
[ CAR TIRE SCREECHES ]
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
OH, GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR,
MR. CRAWFORD.
GOOD MORNING.
Alex:
WON'T YOU COME IN?
HI, BEAUTIFUL.
HI.
OVER HERE.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE.
THERE YOU ARE.
OH, DAVID,
THEY'RE GREAT!
YOU'VE MADE ME
LOOK BEAUTIFUL!
THEY'RE MAGNIFICENT.
Redding: ALL I DID WAS
SNAP THE SHUTTER.
EVEN THE REJECTS
WERE EXCITING.
OH, I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM.
HERE THEY ARE.
WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT?
James: AH, THAT'S GREAT.
DAVID.
I DESTROYED
THAT ROLL OF FILM.
YOU'D BETTER SIT DOWN,
MY SWEET.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
DO WHAT HE SAYS.
IACINE METHYL-THIONINE
CHLORIDE.
AN INTERESTING SUBSTANCE.
I'M IN CHARGE OF THE PROJECT
YOU'RE INVESTIGATING
FOR THE FEDERAL SECURITY
DEPARTMENT.
BUT YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
SO WAS MY FATHER,
JASON REDDING.
JASON REDDING,
NUCLEAR PHYSICIST --
TRIED, CONVICTED,
EXECUTED,
FOR PASSING AMERICA'S PRECIOUS
SECRETS ON TO THE ENEMY.
AND LIKE FATHER LIKE SON.
WRONG.
UNLIKE MY FATHER,
I AM A TRAITOR.
YOU SEE,
MY FATHER WAS ABSOLUTELY
LOYAL TO THIS COUNTRY.
HE LOVED IT.
HE LOVED IT ENOUGH
TO BUILD A BOMB HE DESPISED.
SO MUCH SO THAT
WHEN HE WAS ACCUSED,
HE ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION
PUT TO HIM HONESTLY.
HE WAS EVEN NAIVE ENOUGH
TO ADMIT THAT HE HAD
MANY FRIENDS,
MEN HE HAD KNOWN ALL HIS LIFE,
WHO WERE COMMUNISTS.
THAT MADE HIM A SPY.
Dan: HE WAS CONVICTED BECAUSE
PAPERS IN HIS HANDWRITING
WERE FOUND IN THE POSSESSION
OF AN ENEMY AGENT,
TOP-SECRET PAPERS HE ADMITTED
HE'D SMUGGLED
ONTO THE TESTING GROUND.
NOT SMUGGLED.
LEFT IN HIS COAT,
ABSENTMINDEDLY.
SOMEBODY STOLE THEM,
PASSED THEM ON TO THE ENEMY.
WHY WASN'T THAT SOMEBODY
EVER FOUND?
THEY NEVER LOOKED FOR HIM.
THEY HAD THEIR PATSY --
MY FATHER.
BUT, DAVID,
IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
AND YOUR FATHER WAS INNOCENT
AND REALLY LOVED HIS COUNTRY,
WHY ARE YOU DOING
WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
THIS COUNTRY
KILLED MY FATHER.
I WAS JASON REDDING'S
BEST FRIEND.
AS IT TURNED OUT,
HIS ONLY FRIEND.
THAT LAST NIGHT
IN THE DEATH HOUSE,
I PROMISED HIM
I WOULD RAISE HIS SON,
AND I ALSO PROMISED MYSELF
THAT DAVID AND I WOULD
ONE DAY MAKE THEM PAY
FOR THE MURDER
OF DAVID'S FATHER.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
THE FEDERAL SECURITY PEOPLE KNOW
AND EXACTLY
HOW MUCH THE MAN
KNOWN AS WILSON CHANNING
HAS TOLD YOU.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T
TELL YOU ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW THAT.
YOUR HUSBAND MEANS
A GREAT DEAL TO YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Redding: SEE THIS KNOB?
THIS KNOB CONTROLS
VOLTAGE OUTPUT,
FROM 55 TO 80,000.
I WONDER HOW MANY
YOUR HUSBAND CAN STAND
BEFORE HIS HEART STOPS.
SIT DOWN OVER THERE.
CINNAMON,
DON'T TELL THEM ANYTHING.
NOTHING.
THIS IS A GUN.
DON'T TELL THEM!
WHAT DO THEY KNOW?
TELL ME WHAT THEY KNOW!
AAH! DON'T TELL THEM.
WHAT?
TELL ME.
NO.
I'LL TELL YOU.
IT WON'T HELP YOU, ANYWAY.
WHEN YOUR AGENTS CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY WITH THEIR CANISTERS,
THEY COMMITTED AN ACT OF WAR.
AT THIS VERY MOMENT,
THIS COUNTRY IS PLANNING
TO LAUNCH A NUCLEAR ATTACK
WHICH WILL DESTROY YOUR COUNTRY,
TOTALLY DESTROY IT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
WHEN YOUR AGENTS LEARN THAT
THEIR COUNTRY IS ANNIHILATED,
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO
CARRY OUT YOUR ORDERS?
IF SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH,
IT'S ALL OVER.
WE FAILED.
MAYBE NOT.
EVEN WITH OUR LIMITED MISSILE
CAPACITY, THERE MAY BE A WAY.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF A NUCLEAR MISSILE
WIPED OUT NEW YORK
BEFORE THEY ATTACKED US?
WOULDN'T WASHINGTON ASSUME
THAT THE ATTACK CAME FROM
THE RUSSIANS OR THE RED CHINESE?
SINCE THEY COULDN'T VERIFY IT,
WOULDN'T WASHINGTON HAVE TO
RETALIATE AGAINST THE RUSSIANS
OR THE CHINESE
BEFORE THEY DEALT WITH US?
WE'D BE THE ONLY
SURVIVING POWER.
EXACTLY.
CONTACT THE CENTER.
[ GUNSHOTS ]
ALEX.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
YOU'VE BEEN MOST HELPFUL.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
[ STATIC CONTINUES ]
[ STATIC STOPS ]
ALEX!
IF THE CENTER
SHOULD ACCEPT OUR PLAN,
THEY'LL BE LAUNCHING THEIR
MISSILES IN AN HOUR OR TWO.
LET'S MOVE TO THE SHELTER.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHO ARE YOU?
FEDERAL SECURITY
DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE WARRANTS
FOR YOUR ARREST.
WELL,
WHAT'S THE CHARGES?
ESPIONAGE. UNLESS WE CAN
PICK UP THOSE AGENTS
BEFORE THEY RELEASE
THE BACILLUS,
IT WILL BE MURDER,
MASS MURDER.
WHAT?
WHAT IS THIS,
SOME SORT
OF PRACTICAL JOKE?
NO, IT'S NO JOKE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
STAY HERE. TEAR UP THE PLACE
UNTIL YOU CAN FIND THAT CODE.
I SAID LET'S GO.
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US?
TO NEW YORK,
FEDERAL COURTS BUILDING.
NEW YORK?
WAIT A MINUTE.
MAYBE, UH,
MAYBE WE CAN WORK
SOMETHING OUT -- A DEAL?
WHAT KIND OF A DEAL?
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE CODE
AND SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE NAMES
OF ALL THE AGENTS
AND WHERE YOU CAN
PICK THEM UP.
I CAN'T MAKE A DEAL.
BUT IF I BRING YOU IN
WITH A CODE,
AND YOU TELL US
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW,
I THINK WE CAN
WORK SOMETHING OUT.
CODE'S
IN THE SHELTER.
AFTER YOU.
ALL RIGHT,
OPEN IT UP.
GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD.
SIT DOWN OVER THERE.
LET'S GET RID OF HIM, DAVID.
WHY KEEP HIM AROUND?
BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER,
ONE OF US IS GOING TO HAVE TO
GO CHECK ON
THE FALLOUT LEVEL.

IT'S A SIMPLE CODE

GET IN TOUCH WITH
THE DEPARTMENT.
TELL THEM TO START

WHILE YOU'RE IN YOUR CELL
WAITING TO DIE,
I WANT YOU TO THINK
ABOUT SOMETHING.
IF YOUR FATHER
REALLY WAS INNOCENT,
WHO WOULD'VE BEEN MORE LIKELY
TO WANT TO FRAME HIM,
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
OR HIS BEST FRIEND,
WHO ALSO HAPPENED TO BE
AN ENEMY AGENT, EVEN THEN?

I HAVE MR. REDDING HERE,
DR. CRAWFORD.
ALL RIGHT, JUST GIVE ME
A MOMENT, PLEASE.
THANK YOU, JOSHUA.
HI. COME ON IN.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
WOULD YOU LIKE
A CUP OF COFFEE?
OH, NO, THANKS.
THIS IS NOT AN EASY PLACE
TO GET INTO.
YES, I KNOW.
A TEAM OF US
ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT
FOR THE FEDERAL
SECURITY DEPARTMENT.
VERY TOP SECRET.
I SEE. I REMEMBER YOU.
I MUST HAVE SEEN YOU
ON A DOZEN ELITE COVERS.
THOSE WERE FUN TIMES.
WE WANT TO DO
A LAYOUT ON YOU.
FRAN CALLED, BUT I TOLD HER
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE IMPOSSIBLE.
WHY NOT?
TIME.
IT WOULD ONLY TAKE
A FEW HOURS.
I COULD SHOOT YOU HERE.
I'VE GOT MY CAMERAS
IN THE CAR.
NO, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
OUT OF THE QUESTION.
CAMERAS ARE STRICTLY
VERBOTEN IN HERE.
I'M SORRY. IT PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN.
LISTEN, WE DON'T HAVE
TO DO THE LAYOUT HERE.
I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA.
I'LL PUT TOGETHER
A STYLIZED SET AT MY STUDIO,
AND WE COULD SHOOT
SOME FASHION STUFF
AS WELL AS
THE PERSONALITY LAYOUT.
WHY NOT?
HUH?
FORMER MODEL BACK
IN HARNESS...
FRAN WILL LOVE IT.
BUT WHEN?
UH, TOMORROW'S SATURDAY.
IF YOU'RE FREE,
COME ON TOMORROW.
I THINK YOU'RE SERIOUS.
I AM.
CAN I BRING MY HUSBAND?
Y--
HUSBANDS ARE WELCOME.
LOAD ME UP, ALEX.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW DO I LOOK?
FANTASTIC.
AND THEN SOME.
I THOUGHT WE'D TRY SOME
FASHION POSES OVER HERE
BY THE LAB STUFF...
BEHIND THE BOTTLES.
OKAY...
THAT'S GOOD.
MOVE A LITTLE TO YOUR LEFT.
AH, THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
UH-HUH, UH-HUH,
PERFECT.
OKAY, OPEN IT UP A LITTLE,
LITTLE MORE EXCITEMENT.
YES, THAT'S BETTER.
THAT'S BETTER.
REMEMBER,
YOU'RE A SEXY BIOCHEMIST.
HO HO HO HO.
YOU REALLY ARE.
PERFECT! NOW TURN
WITH YOUR BACK TOWARD ME...
YOUR BACK TO ME,
AND THEN COME BACK
THIS WAY VERY SLOWLY.
OKAY.
DAVID.
WHAT?
WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU'VE WRITTEN THERE?
UH, I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT THERE
SHOULD BE SOME SORT
OF CHEMICAL FORMULA ON IT.
THAT WOULD BE NICE,
EXCEPT THAT WHAT YOU'VE
WRITTEN IN FACT IS A KIND
OF WONDERFUL COMBINATION
OF TURPENTINE AND OATMEAL.
HA HA HA.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
Alex: HA HA HA HA.
HA HA HA.
SHALL I FIX IT?
FOR THE CHEMISTS
AMONG OUR READERS,
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD.
ALEX, CLEAN OFF THE BOARD.
CERTAINLY.
I HAD TO MENTION IT --
SECOND NATURE.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I'M NOT.
I'M GLAD YOU NOTICED.
LISTEN, I THINK I WILL
LEAVE YOU TWO TO WORK
AND TAKE
A LITTLE STROLL, HMM?
GOOD IDEA.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
WE'LL BE AT THIS
FOR A FEW HOURS.
I'LL BE BACK IN A WHILE.
HAVE FUN.
MY CONTRIBUTION...
TO SCIENCE.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I KNEW YOU'D LIKE IT.
OKAY, LET'S GET BACK
TO WORK.
PERFECT! THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD...LOVELY,
LOVELY, LOVELY.
YES, THAT'S NICE.
NOW OPEN IT UP.
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.
[ CLICK ]
[ CLICK ]
YES, IT'S PERFECT.
PERFECT!
YES, THAT IS LOVELY!
[ CLICK ]
[ CLICK ]
LOVELY, LOVELY!
COULDN'T BE LOVELIER.
THAT DOES THIS OUTFIT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
A SMOKE AND CHANGE?
HOW AM I DOING?
MY SWEET,
YOU'RE A NATURAL.
DAVID, I'VE DONE
SOMETHING TERRIBLE.
THAT FORMULA
IS TOP SECRET.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT
WHEN I WAS WRITING IT.
I'LL HAVE TO HAVE
THE FILM.
WE GOT SOME GREAT STUFF!
PLEASE.
OH.
DIG IT OUT, ALEX.
THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
I'M SORRY, DAVID.
I GUESS THIS BUSINESS
OF WORKING ON ALL THIS
TOP SECRET MATERIAL
IS GETTING TO ME --
THE SECURITY, THE GUARDS,
THE CONSTANT REMINDER
THAT THEY ARE LISTENING.
I HATE IT. IT SCARES ME.
I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS BEING
A SECURITY RISK JUST SCARES ME.
I'M SORRY, DAVID.
FORGET IT.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
NOW, LET'S START AGAIN.
I'LL WRITE YOU ANOTHER ONE.
NO OATMEAL.
NO TURPENTINE.
[ BLOWTORCH HISSING ]
Redding: OKAY, OKAY.
THAT'S PERFECT.
GIVE ME THE SAME THING
GOING THE OTHER WAY.
THAT A GIRL. THAT A GIRL.
THAT'S NICE.
UP. YEAH.
NOW COME TOWARDS ME.
YES, YES, YES.
THAT'S IT.
GOOD. HOLD THAT.
JUST A MINUTE. THAT'S LOVELY.
Redding: WORK YOUR WAY
TOWARD ALEX A LITTLE.
I WANT TO SPLIT
THE BACKGROUND.
THAT A GIRL.
THAT'S NICE.
BEAUTIFUL.
LET'S DO THAT AGAIN.
RAISING UP JUST A BIT.
OH, THAT'S LOVELY.
LOVELY.
PERFECT.
A LITTLE MORE FOG, ALEX.
THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NICE.
A LITTLE MORE TOWARD ME.
HOW'S IT GOING?
WE'LL MAKE THIS
THE LAST SHOT.
OH, THAT'S LOVELY.
PERFECT. WRAP IT UP.
SAVE THE FOG.
WAS IT AS MUCH FUN
AS YOU REMEMBERED?
YES, BUT MORE WORK
THAN I REMEMBERED.
I'LL GET MY THINGS.
OKAY.
GET STARTED
IN THE DARKROOM, ALEX.
Alex: RIGHT.
DAVID,
I WANT TO THANK YOU.
IT'S MY PLEASURE.
WHETHER THE MAGAZINE
USES THE PICTURES OR NOT,
I'VE NEVER SEEN HER
SO EXCITED.
WHO WAS?
NEVER MIND.
THANK YOU. I HOPE
THE PICTURES ARE GOOD.
THEY WILL BE, MY SWEET.
THEY'RE OF YOU.
BYE.
THANKS AGAIN.
I'LL SHOW YOU OUT.
NO, NO, NO.
WE'LL FIND OUR WAY.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
IT'S THE FORMULA FOR IACINE
METHYL-THIONINE CHLORIDE,
THE CULTURE MEDIUM
THE BACILLUS IS SUPPORTED IN.
SHE MAY BE WORKING ON SOME MEANS
OF COMBATING OUR PROJECT.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THE CENTER THINKS.
THEY WANT US TO FIND OUT
EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS.
DO YOU THINK
SHE'LL TALK?
HA HA HA.
SHE'LL TALK.
THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT,
MY SWEET. MAGNIFICENT.
OH, DAVID, I'M SO PLEASED.
I'M JUST DYING TO SEE THEM.
WHY DON'T YOU
AND YOUR HUSBAND DRIVE UP?
DAVID, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
AT THE FEDERAL
SECURITY DEPARTMENT.
NONSENSE. IT'S SUNDAY.
NOBODY WORKS ON SUNDAY.
I'LL EXPECT YOU FOR BRUNCH.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL BE THERE,
BUT WE'LL RUSH BACK.
OKAY. SEE YOU
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
OKAY, ALEX.
HEY, LET ME SEE THESE.
THEY'RE GOOD.
TOO BAD NOBODY
WILL EVER SEE THEM.
[ CAR TIRE SCREECHES ]
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
OH, GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR,
MR. CRAWFORD.
GOOD MORNING.
Alex:
WON'T YOU COME IN?
HI, BEAUTIFUL.
HI.
OVER HERE.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE.
THERE YOU ARE.
OH, DAVID,
THEY'RE GREAT!
YOU'VE MADE ME
LOOK BEAUTIFUL!
THEY'RE MAGNIFICENT.
Redding: ALL I DID WAS
SNAP THE SHUTTER.
EVEN THE REJECTS
WERE EXCITING.
OH, I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM.
HERE THEY ARE.
WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT?
James: AH, THAT'S GREAT.
DAVID.
I DESTROYED
THAT ROLL OF FILM.
YOU'D BETTER SIT DOWN,
MY SWEET.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
DO WHAT HE SAYS.
IACINE METHYL-THIONINE
CHLORIDE.
AN INTERESTING SUBSTANCE.
I'M IN CHARGE OF THE PROJECT
YOU'RE INVESTIGATING
FOR THE FEDERAL SECURITY
DEPARTMENT.
BUT YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
SO WAS MY FATHER,
JASON REDDING.
JASON REDDING,
NUCLEAR PHYSICIST --
TRIED, CONVICTED,
EXECUTED,
FOR PASSING AMERICA'S PRECIOUS
SECRETS ON TO THE ENEMY.
AND LIKE FATHER LIKE SON.
WRONG.
UNLIKE MY FATHER,
I AM A TRAITOR.
YOU SEE,
MY FATHER WAS ABSOLUTELY
LOYAL TO THIS COUNTRY.
HE LOVED IT.
HE LOVED IT ENOUGH
TO BUILD A BOMB HE DESPISED.
SO MUCH SO THAT
WHEN HE WAS ACCUSED,
HE ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION
PUT TO HIM HONESTLY.
HE WAS EVEN NAIVE ENOUGH
TO ADMIT THAT HE HAD
MANY FRIENDS,
MEN HE HAD KNOWN ALL HIS LIFE,
WHO WERE COMMUNISTS.
THAT MADE HIM A SPY.
Dan: HE WAS CONVICTED BECAUSE
PAPERS IN HIS HANDWRITING
WERE FOUND IN THE POSSESSION
OF AN ENEMY AGENT,
TOP-SECRET PAPERS HE ADMITTED
HE'D SMUGGLED
ONTO THE TESTING GROUND.
NOT SMUGGLED.
LEFT IN HIS COAT,
ABSENTMINDEDLY.
SOMEBODY STOLE THEM,
PASSED THEM ON TO THE ENEMY.
WHY WASN'T THAT SOMEBODY
EVER FOUND?
THEY NEVER LOOKED FOR HIM.
THEY HAD THEIR PATSY --
MY FATHER.
BUT, DAVID,
IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
AND YOUR FATHER WAS INNOCENT
AND REALLY LOVED HIS COUNTRY,
WHY ARE YOU DOING
WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
THIS COUNTRY
KILLED MY FATHER.
I WAS JASON REDDING'S
BEST FRIEND.
AS IT TURNED OUT,
HIS ONLY FRIEND.
THAT LAST NIGHT
IN THE DEATH HOUSE,
I PROMISED HIM
I WOULD RAISE HIS SON,
AND I ALSO PROMISED MYSELF
THAT DAVID AND I WOULD
ONE DAY MAKE THEM PAY
FOR THE MURDER
OF DAVID'S FATHER.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
THE FEDERAL SECURITY PEOPLE KNOW
AND EXACTLY
HOW MUCH THE MAN
KNOWN AS WILSON CHANNING
HAS TOLD YOU.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T
TELL YOU ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW THAT.
YOUR HUSBAND MEANS
A GREAT DEAL TO YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Redding: SEE THIS KNOB?
THIS KNOB CONTROLS
VOLTAGE OUTPUT,
FROM 55 TO 80,000.
I WONDER HOW MANY
YOUR HUSBAND CAN STAND
BEFORE HIS HEART STOPS.
SIT DOWN OVER THERE.
CINNAMON,
DON'T TELL THEM ANYTHING.
NOTHING.
THIS IS A GUN.
DON'T TELL THEM!
WHAT DO THEY KNOW?
TELL ME WHAT THEY KNOW!
AAH! DON'T TELL THEM.
WHAT?
TELL ME.
NO.
I'LL TELL YOU.
IT WON'T HELP YOU, ANYWAY.
WHEN YOUR AGENTS CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY WITH THEIR CANISTERS,
THEY COMMITTED AN ACT OF WAR.
AT THIS VERY MOMENT,
THIS COUNTRY IS PLANNING
TO LAUNCH A NUCLEAR ATTACK
WHICH WILL DESTROY YOUR COUNTRY,
TOTALLY DESTROY IT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
WHEN YOUR AGENTS LEARN THAT
THEIR COUNTRY IS ANNIHILATED,
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO
CARRY OUT YOUR ORDERS?
IF SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH,
IT'S ALL OVER.
WE FAILED.
MAYBE NOT.
EVEN WITH OUR LIMITED MISSILE
CAPACITY, THERE MAY BE A WAY.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF A NUCLEAR MISSILE
WIPED OUT NEW YORK
BEFORE THEY ATTACKED US?
WOULDN'T WASHINGTON ASSUME
THAT THE ATTACK CAME FROM
THE RUSSIANS OR THE RED CHINESE?
SINCE THEY COULDN'T VERIFY IT,
WOULDN'T WASHINGTON HAVE TO
RETALIATE AGAINST THE RUSSIANS
OR THE CHINESE
BEFORE THEY DEALT WITH US?
WE'D BE THE ONLY
SURVIVING POWER.
EXACTLY.
CONTACT THE CENTER.
[ GUNSHOTS ]
ALEX.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
YOU'VE BEEN MOST HELPFUL.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
[ STATIC CONTINUES ]
[ STATIC STOPS ]
ALEX!
IF THE CENTER
SHOULD ACCEPT OUR PLAN,
THEY'LL BE LAUNCHING THEIR
MISSILES IN AN HOUR OR TWO.
LET'S MOVE TO THE SHELTER.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHO ARE YOU?
FEDERAL SECURITY
DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE WARRANTS
FOR YOUR ARREST.
WELL,
WHAT'S THE CHARGES?
ESPIONAGE. UNLESS WE CAN
PICK UP THOSE AGENTS
BEFORE THEY RELEASE
THE BACILLUS,
IT WILL BE MURDER,
MASS MURDER.
WHAT?
WHAT IS THIS,
SOME SORT
OF PRACTICAL JOKE?
NO, IT'S NO JOKE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
STAY HERE. TEAR UP THE PLACE
UNTIL YOU CAN FIND THAT CODE.
I SAID LET'S GO.
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US?
TO NEW YORK,
FEDERAL COURTS BUILDING.
NEW YORK?
WAIT A MINUTE.
MAYBE, UH,
MAYBE WE CAN WORK
SOMETHING OUT -- A DEAL?
WHAT KIND OF A DEAL?
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE CODE
AND SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE NAMES
OF ALL THE AGENTS
AND WHERE YOU CAN
PICK THEM UP.
I CAN'T MAKE A DEAL.
BUT IF I BRING YOU IN
WITH A CODE,
AND YOU TELL US
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW,
I THINK WE CAN
WORK SOMETHING OUT.
CODE'S
IN THE SHELTER.
AFTER YOU.
ALL RIGHT,
OPEN IT UP.
GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD.
SIT DOWN OVER THERE.
LET'S GET RID OF HIM, DAVID.
WHY KEEP HIM AROUND?
BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER,
ONE OF US IS GOING TO HAVE TO
GO CHECK ON
THE FALLOUT LEVEL.

THE DEPARTMENT.

BREAKING THE CODE.

WAITING TO DIE,
I WANT YOU TO THINK
ABOUT SOMETHING.

REALLY WAS INNOCENT,
WHO WOULD'VE BEEN MORE LIKELY
TO WANT TO FRAME HIM,

OR HIS BEST FRIEND,
WHO ALSO HAPPENED TO BE
AN ENEMY AGENT, EVEN THEN?
