Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 2, Episode 8 - The Money Machine - full transcript

MAN: GOOD AFTERNOON,
MR. PHELPS.

THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
IS WALTER DUBREE,

THE MOST UNSCRUPULOUS FINANCIER
IN AFRICA.

DUBREE'S BROKERAGE FIRM
IS IN GHALEA,

A SMALL AFRICAN NATION WHOSE
PRO-WESTERN GOVERNMENT

IS THE KEY TO
STABILITY IN THE AREA.

LAST WEEK,

A SHIPMENT OF PAPER
USED TO MAKE GHALEAN CURRENCY

WAS HIJACKED BY THIS MAN,
A COUNTERFEITER,

RACH DIGEUR.

WE BELIEVE DIGEUR HAS MADE



A DEAL WITH DUBREE
TO PASS THE COUNTERFEIT MONEY,

WHICH WOULD WRECK
THE GHALEAN ECONOMY.

BECAUSE DUBREE IS POWERFUL
AND INFLUENTIAL,

HE CANNOT BE ARRESTED
ON SUSPICION ALONE.

YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO RECOVER THE PAPER

AND PUT DUBREE
OUT OF BUSINESS --

PERMANENTLY.

AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF

YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,

THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.

PLEASE DESTROY THIS TAPE
IN THE USUAL MANNER.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

IT COULD BE REAL,
EXCEPT FOR THE PAPER.



BARNEY: WELL, IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE TOO PERFECT.

THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU SEE THE DOCTOR?

YEAH. I GOT IT ALL
WORKED OUT, JIM.

DID YOU SHIP THE INK?

YEP, A WEEK AGO.
IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

SHALL WE SHOW HIM?

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

MR. GEREAUX.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
MISS CARTER,

MR. HAND...

HOW DO YOU DO?

MR. COLLIER.

PAUL GEREAUX, GHALEAN
FINANCE MINISTRY. COME IN.

ARE WE ALL SET?

YES. THE GHALEAN
CURRENCY YOU NEED

HAS BEEN STORED IN
A WAREHOUSE IN THE CITY.

THEY FINISHED PRINTING IT
JUST BEFORE I LEFT.

HAS DUBREE TRIED TO
MAKE A MOVE?

NOTHING.

AH, THAT IS THE MACHINE?

THAT'S IT.

PARDON ME,
IS MONSIEUR DUBREE IN?

AH, MISS HOLMES.

IT IS A PLEASURE
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

MR. DUBREE IS NOT IN,
BUT I EXPECT HIM AT ANY MOMENT.

MAY I BE OF ANY HELP?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I'LL JUST HAVE A SEAT,
THANK YOU.

CERTAINLY.

EXCELLENT.

EXCELLENT.

HOW SOON BEFORE THE PLATE FOR
THE REVERSE SIDE IS FINISHED?

A MONTH, MAYBE SIX WEEKS.

YOU'VE GOT SIX DAYS.
IT CAN'T BE DONE.

IT HAS TO BE DONE.
THE GOVERNMENT IS PRESSING ME.

I MUST HAVE THE MONEY.

IF I TRY TO PUSH THIS JOB,

I COULD RUIN THE PLATES.

I WON'T DO IT.

DIGEUR,
YOU HAVE CLEVER HANDS.

BUT UP HERE,
YOU'RE A FOOL.

YOUR PRECIOUS PLATES,
THEY ARE FOR A $100 NOTE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO
PASS THEM WITHOUT ME?

A LOCAL CAFE?
AT A TOBACCO SHOP?

THEY'RE USELESS UNLESS I
PUT THEM INTO CIRCULATION.

NOW GET TO WORK.

WE'VE WASTED ENOUGH TIME.

MISS HOLMES,

I TRUST YOU ARE WELL
THIS MORNING.

VERY WELL, THANK YOU.

MAY I ORDER TEA FOR YOU?

THAT WOULD BE NICE, YES.

AMBOULI COPPER OPENED AT
38 THIS MORNING.

YES, IT'S UP 7/8THS.

YOUR TOTAL PURCHASES
OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS

NOW AMOUNT TO...

1,100 SHARES,
AT AN AVERAGE PRICE OF 36.

OUTRAGEOUS.
NOTHING SHORT OF OUTRAGEOUS!

AND I WANT TO WARN YOU,
GEREAUX,

I WON'T STAND FOR IT.

ARE YOU THREATENING ME,
MR. DUBREE?

YOU WILL TAKE IT ANY WAY YOU
LIKE, I COULDN'T CARE LESS!

SO LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT I WILL NOT BE

TREATED THIS WAY
BY A GOVERNMENT BOOKKEEPER!

THE MINISTER OF FINANCE
ORDERED THE NEW DEADLINE.

I DON'T CARE IF THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF ORDERED IT.

I WAS GIVEN SIX MONTHS
ON THOSE LOANS.

THEY'RE NOT DUE
FOR ANOTHER FIVE WEEKS.

THAT'S WHEN
THEY WILL BE PAID.

HOWEVER, THE LOANS
ARE NOW DUE IN ONE WEEK.

IN FIVE WEEKS, YOU MAY
FIND YOURSELF IN JAIL.

I THINK YOU KNOW, GEREAUX,
I'M NOT WITHOUT INFLUENCE.

IN THIS CASE, MR. DUBREE,

IT MAY ONLY GET YOU
A CELL WITH A VIEW.

GOOD DAY.

MR. MORGAN
TO SEE MR. DUBREE.

AH, YES. WILL YOU
COME WITH ME, PLEASE?

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
COME.

MR. DUBREE, THIS IS
MR. DAVID MORGAN.

HE WAS REFERRED
BY MR. CLINTON

FROM NEW YORK.

PLEASURE, MR. MORGAN.

MY PLEASURE.

PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

NOW, HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

WELL, I SHOULD LIKE TO
PURCHASE 1,000 SHARES

OF EURO-AFRICAN AIRWAYS.

EXCELLENT.

VERY PROGRESSIVE
NEW MANAGEMENT.

1,000 SHARES
EURO-AFRICAN AT $51

WILL AMOUNT TO $51,500
WITH FEES.

I PRESUME THIS WILL
BE A BANK DRAFT.

NO, UH, I'LL PAY CASH.

CASH?

WHY, IS SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THAT?

NOT AT ALL.
IT'S JUST THAT IT'S

RATHER A LARGE AMOUNT
OF MONEY TO CARRY AROUND.

PERHAPS.

I'LL HAVE TO TROUBLE YOU FOR
YOUR IMPORT DECLARATION VOUCHER

ON THE CURRENCY.

CERTAINLY.

I, UH,

I SEEM TO HAVE LEFT IT
AT THE HOTEL.

MAY I TELEPHONE IT TO YOU?

SOMEWHAT IRREGULAR.

BUT I'M SURE IT WILL
BE ALL RIGHT.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME
A MOMENT, MR. MORGAN?

OF COURSE.

MISS HOLMES?

MONSIEUR DUBREE.

THE NEXT 24 HOURS

MAY BE A VERY CRITICAL
PERIOD FOR ME.

IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT I MAY NEED YOUR HELP

AND YOUR DISCRETION.

I'M AFRAID I DON'T
UNDERSTAND, MISS HOLMES.

CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES
MAY MAKE IT NECESSARY

FOR ME TO HAVE TO
REACH YOU

OUTSIDE OF REGULAR
BUSINESS HOURS.

COULD THAT BE ARRANGED?

MISS HOLMES, I'M VERY
JEALOUS OF MY PRIVACY.

HOWEVER, I'M GOING TO
MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

I'M PUTTING MY

HOME PHONE NUMBER
ON YOUR RECEIPT.

IT COULD BE ANY HOUR
OF THE DAY OR NIGHT.

THERE'S ALWAYS
AN EXCHANGE OPEN

SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH,
MONSIEUR DUBREE.

GOOD DAY, MISS HOLMES.

SHE KNOWS SOMETHING.

I WANT A FULL REPORT
ON AMBOULI COPPER.

MR. DUBREE, HOW LONG
WILL I HAVE TO WAIT?

OH, YES. FORGIVE ME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. MORGAN.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE
I CAN DO,

I HOPE
YOU'LL LET ME KNOW.

I SHALL. THANK YOU.

AND YOU WON'T FORGET
TO PHONE ME

THE NUMBER OF
YOUR IMPORT VOUCHER?

[ CUSTOMERS MURMURING ]

LET ME THROUGH,
I'M A DOCTOR.

MAN: WHAT IS IT?

MAN: I DON'T KNOW.

HE JUST DROPPED.

[ BREATHING ERRATICALLY ]

THIS MAN IS AN EPILEPTIC.

HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE.

ALL I CAN DO IS TO PREVENT HIM
FROM INJURING HIMSELF.

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO?

WELL, IT SEEMS
THAT THE WORST IS OVER.

GET RID OF THESE PEOPLE.

WHO IS HE?

HIS NAME IS MORGAN.
DAVID MORGAN.

I HAD NEVER MET HIM
BEFORE TODAY.

SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
WHERE HE LIVES,

OR A NAME OF SOME RELATIVE
WE CAN CALL.

FIND SOMETHING?

HE'S A FOREIGNER.

HMM.

IS THERE A QUIETER PLACE
WHERE WE CAN TAKE HIM?

TAKE HIM TO MY OFFICE.

LOOK AT THIS.

IT SAYS HE BROUGHT LESS THAN
$500 INTO THE COUNTRY.

BUT HE HAS THOUSANDS.

YES. APPARENTLY,
ALL OF IT WAS SMUGGLED IN.

CHECK THE $50,000
HE GAVE ME EARLIER.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HOW IS HE?

HE WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

HE'S MORE
USED TO THESE THINGS

THAN WE ARE,
POOR FELLOW.

HE JUST NEEDS REST
AND QUIET FOR A FEW DAYS.

IS THERE NO ONE THAT CAN BE
CALLED TO TAKE CARE OF HIM?

APPARENTLY NOT.

HMM. WELL, SOMEONE WILL
HAVE TO LOOK AFTER HIM.

I WILL REPORT THE CASE
TO THE POLICE

AND LET THEM HANDLE IT.

JUST TAKE IT EASY,
MR. MORGAN.

DON'T TRY TO GET UP.

WELL?

COUNTERFEIT. ALL OF IT.

DOCTOR, I'VE MADE ARRANGEMENTS
TO TAKE HIM TO MY HOME.

I'LL SEE THAT HE'S LOOKED AFTER
TILL HE'S BETTER.

FINE. I WILL COME ALONG

TO SEE THAT
HE'S SETTLED ALL RIGHT.

I'D BE VERY GRATEFUL
IF YOU WOULD.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE,
MR. MORGAN.

ALL YOU NEED IS
A FEW DAYS' REST NOW.

WHERE AM I?

WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU'VE HAD A SEIZURE.

YOU'VE HAD THEM BEFORE,
HAVE YOU NOT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM DR. SEDIK,

AND THIS IS MR. DUBREE.

MR. DUBREE?

YES, MR. MORGAN.

YOU CAME INTO MY FIRM
TO BUY SOME STOCK.

I CAN'T REMEMBER.

TEMPORARY AMNESIA.

YOU MUST HAVE
HIT YOUR HEAD FAIRLY HARD

WHEN YOU FELL.

YOU MAY EVEN HAVE
A CONCUSSION.

I THINK PERHAPS WE SHOULD
PUT YOU IN A HOSPITAL.

NO, NO HOSPITAL.

PLEASE, MR. MORGAN.

TRY TO BE CALM.

YOU ARE GOING TO NEED
SOMEONE TO LOOK AFTER YOU.

NO HOSPITAL. NO HOSPITAL.

MR. MORGAN.

PERHAPS, UH, WE SHOULD
LET THE POLICE HANDLE THIS.

IF I KEEP HIM HERE,
CAN'T YOU HELP HIM?

SURELY THERE'S SOME
TREATMENT FOR AMNESIA.

YES, THERE ARE
SEVERAL TREATMENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE FOUND
SODIUM PENTOTHAL

TO BE VERY HELPFUL
ON SOME OCCASIONS.

BUT I COULDN'T POSSIBLY
GIVE IT TO HIM NOW.

MAYBE WHEN HE IS
MORE RESTED TONIGHT.

GOOD. LET'S DO IT
THAT WAY.

I WILL STOP IN
AROUND 8:00.

WE WILL BEGIN
THE TREATMENTS THEN.

WHATEVER YOU SAY, DOCTOR.

DUBREE: HOW GOOD IS IT?

EXCELLENT.

WHOSE WORK IS IT?

NEVER MIND.

OUTSTANDING,

EXCEPT FOR THE PAPER.

BUT THEY FOOL YOU
WITH THE SERIAL NUMBERS.

EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT.

BUT THESE BILLS
WERE MADE

LESS THAN
THREE WEEKS AGO.

THESE SERIAL NUMBERS
ARE PART OF A NEW SERIES

RELEASED ONLY
THREE WEEKS AGO.

NO ONE COULD HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT IT BEFORE THEN.

HOW COULD THEY
HAVE DONE IT?

I WISH I KNEW.

THEN I SUGGEST WE FIND OUT

FROM MY PATIENT,
MR. MORGAN.

A MISS HOLMES TO SEE YOU.

TELL HER I'M NOT IN.

SHE SAYS IT'S
MOST URGENT.

ALL RIGHT.

SHOW HER IN.

IN THERE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

MISS HOLMES.

I GAVE YOU
MY TELEPHONE NUMBER.

I DO WISH YOU HAD USED IT

INSTEAD OF SIMPLY
APPEARING AT MY DOOR

AT WHAT HAPPENS TO BE
A MOST INCONVENIENT MOMENT.

I AM SORRY,
MONSIEUR DUBREE.

I WOULD
HAVE CALLED YOU,

BUT I WAS AFRAID
YOU WOULDN'T SEE ME,

AND I HAD TO SEE YOU.

WELL, NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE,

TELL ME WHAT IT IS
THAT IS SO URGENT.

EXACTLY HOW MUCH MARGIN
DOES YOUR FIRM REQUIRE

ON THE PURCHASE OF STOCK?

THE PURCHASER MUST HAVE
75% OF THE SELLING PRICE.

COULD YOU
RELAX THAT MARGIN,

A LITTLE BIT, FOR ME?

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED.

WHAT IS IT
YOU WISH ME TO DO?

I HAVE $250,000.

I WANT TO PURCHASE
$500,000 WORTH OF STOCK.

I SEE.

AMBOULI COPPER?

WHY SHOULD I TAKE
SUCH A CHANCE?

I HARDLY KNOW YOU.

YOUR BROKERAGE FEE
WOULD BE QUITE HIGH.

I WISH I COULD HELP,

BUT IT SIMPLY
ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.

ALL RIGHT,
MONSIEUR DUBREE. YOU WIN.

WIN WHAT, MISS HOLMES?

MRS. HOLMES.

MRS. CARLTON HOLMES.

MY HUSBAND IS A GEOLOGIST

AND MINING ENGINEER
WITH THE AMBOULI CORPORATION.

WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND NOW?

IN THE BUSH COUNTRY.

HE'S MADE
A FANTASTIC NEW STRIKE.

HE HAS TO REPORT IT
WITHIN 48 HOURS.

WHEN THIS NEWS
IS MADE PUBLIC,

I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE
OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN

TO AMBOULI CORPORATION STOCK.

NOW, MONSIEUR DUBREE,

ARE YOU WILLING
TO LOWER THE MARGIN FOR ME?

HOW CAN I BE SURE
THIS IS TRUE?

WOULD I BE WILLING TO RISK
A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS

ON A STORY I MADE UP?

I'LL CALL YOU IN AN HOUR.

CALL THE DOCTOR.

TELL HIM
TO COME OVER NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO
GET THE TRUTH

OUT OF YOU, MR. MORGAN,
THE DOCTOR'S WAY

OR MINE.

NOW, MR. MORGAN,
COUNT BACK FROM 100.

100,

99,

98,

[SLOWLY] 97,

NINETY--

FINE.

WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME?

DAVID...

EVERETT...

MORGAN.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE,
MR. MORGAN?

LONDON.

WHEN DID YOU LEAVE THERE?

LAST WEEK.

HE STILL HAS
SOME BLANK SPOTS.

MR. MORGAN,

MR. DUBREE IS HERE.

DO YOU REMEMBER
MR. DUBREE?

DUBREE.

DUBREE MUST BE...

CAREFUL.

ARE YOU SURE
THE DRUG IS WORKING?

DEFINITELY.

WHAT HE IS SAYING
IS THE TRUTH.

IT'S JUST THAT
HE IS HAVING TROUBLE

SORTING IT ALL OUT.

I THINK THAT IS
QUITE ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT.

LET HIM REST, AND I WILL
LOOK IN ON HIM TOMORROW.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

TELL ME, HOW LONG
WILL IT BE

BEFORE THE EFFECT
OF THE DRUG WEARS OFF?

THAT IS HARD TO SAY.
NOT OVER A FEW HOURS.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

DON'T LET HIM MOVE AROUND
OR HURT HIMSELF.

MR. MORGAN,

WE HAVE SOME BUSINESS
TO DISCUSS.

THAT'S IT.

NOW TELL ME, DAVID,

HOW DID YOU
MAKE THE COUNTERFEIT?

COUNTERFEIT?

THAT'S RIGHT,

THE COUNTERFEIT.

HOW DID YOU MAKE IT?

WITH A COMPUTER.

WHAT KIND
OF COMPUTER, DAVID?

WHAT KIND?

A HIGH-SPEED...

COPIER.

PRINTS MONEY...

VERY QUICKLY.

WHERE IS THIS
COMPUTER, DAVID?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT MOVES...

MOVES?

IN TRUCK.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

LET HIM SLEEP.

YOU HEARD WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID
ABOUT SODIUM PENTOTHAL.

HE HAS TO BE TELLING
THE TRUTH,

AND IT FITS.

ONLY SOME DEVICE LIKE A COMPUTER

COULD HAVE PRODUCED
THIS MONEY SO RAPIDLY.

[ CRASH ]

AMNESIA'S GONE, ISN'T IT?

NOW YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL ME

WHERE THAT COMPUTER IS.

[ RING ]

HELLO?

IT'S DAVE.

WHERE ARE YOU?

DUBREE'S PLACE.

WHAT?

I HAD AN ATTACK.

I MUST HAVE BLACKED OUT
FOR A WHILE.

ANYWAY, I WOKE UP HERE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT NOW?

YES, EXCEPT --
EXCEPT WHILE I WAS OUT,

I MUST HAVE BABBLED
THE WHOLE STORY.

DUBREE WANTS TO SEE
THE MACHINE.

HE WANTS --
TELL HIM NOT A CHANCE.

HE MEANS BUSINESS.

HE'LL KILL ME.

OKAY...

SEND HIM TO THE WAREHOUSE,
20 MINUTES.

MR. DUBREE, QUICKLY.

ANTON, TOMORROW
WE BUY EVERY SHARE

OF AMBOULI COPPER WE CAN.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

DON'T TURN AROUND.

WE'RE UNARMED.

WHERE'S MORGAN?

SAFE AND UNDER GUARD.

AND WHO'S THIS?

MY ENGRAVER.

I WANT AN EXPERT'S OPINION
OF YOUR MACHINE.

WHAT'S TO STOP ME

FROM KILLING THE TWO
OF YOU RIGHT NOW?

BECAUSE MY MEN HAVE
ORDERS TO TURN MORGAN

OVER TO THE POLICE
IF I DON'T RETURN.

FOLLOW ME.

YOU DON'T SOUND
LIKE A MAN

WHO WILL PASS UP
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

MORGAN SAID YOU KEPT IT
IN A TRUCK,

BUT I HAD NO IDEA.

MAKES IT
ENTIRELY MOBILE.

HARD FOR THE POLICE
TO FIND...

OR ANYBODY ELSE,
FOR THAT MATTER.

FANTASTIC.

FANTASTIC.

HOW DO YOU GET
SUCH DETAIL IN THE LINE,

OF THE FACE, AND --

AND THE LACEWORK
AROUND THE EDGES?

ALL DONE
ON THE COMPUTER.

TRY THESE.

THIS IS THE REAL PAPER.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

FOR NOW,
LET'S CONCENTRATE

ON WHAT YOUR MACHINE
WILL DO WITH IT,

NOT WHERE I GOT IT.

FANTASTIC.

IT'S PERFECT.

PERFECT!

I WANT YOU
TO MAKE $5 MILLION

OF GHALEAN MONEY FOR ME.

WHEN DO YOU NEED IT?

BY 1:30 TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT.

MY CUT IS
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS?

CORRECT.

I HAVE TO HAVE THE PAPER
BY 7:30 IN THE MORNING.

YOU'LL HAVE IT.

AND I NEED MORGAN.

WHY?
HE'S MY COLOR ANALYZER.

HE MIXES THE INKS.
I CAN'T OPERATE WITHOUT HIM.

YOU JUST DID IT.

THAT'S RIGHT,
BUT I DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH INK MIXED
TO PRINT $5 MILLION.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL BRING HIM
WITH ME IN THE MORNING.

I'LL CALL YOU AT 7:00,

LET YOU KNOW
WHERE WE'LL BE.

AS I SAY, WE'RE MOBILE.

HOLD IT!

NOW, THEN,

LET'S GO SLOWLY BACK
TO THAT TRUCK.

UNLOCK THE DOORS, PLEASE.

FORGET IT.

[ COCKS GUN ]

YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS.

HAVE NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, MY FRIEND.

I WILL HAVE YOU SHOT.

TELL THEM TO DROP THEIR GUNS

AND GET OUT OF HERE,
AND TAKE HIM WITH THEM.

DO AS HE SAYS.

[ THUD ]

[ THUD ]

I UNDERESTIMATED YOU.

THE MISTAKE IS MINE.

I ASSURE YOU,
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO TRUST ME.

I MERELY WANT TO
DO BUSINESS WITH YOU,

AS I SUGGESTED BEFORE THIS

STUPID MISTAKE.

I SAID YOU COULD MAKE
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

THAT MUCH IS TRUE.

AND, OF COURSE,
THERE'S YOUR FRIEND MORGAN.

I'LL CALL YOU AT 7:00
IN THE MORNING.

FINE.

YOU GOT THE PAPER?
DUBREE: YES.

I WANT MORGAN
TO CHECK IT.

WHY?
BECAUSE AS FAR AS
I'M CONCERNED,

THE PAPER IS
ALL YOU'VE GOT.

I DON'T NEED YOU
FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

UNLESS IT'S THE REAL STUFF,
WE'VE GOT NO DEAL.

ALL RIGHT.

HE WANTS YOU
TO CHECK THE PAPER.

WE'RE IN BUSINESS.

ALL SET.

[ CLICK ]

I'M STILL A BIT SHAKY.

MIND IF I HEAD BACK
TO THE HOTEL?

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH INK MIXED?

TWICE WHAT YOU'LL NEED.

YEAH,
GO GET SOME REST.

I DON'T THINK
ANYONE SHOULD LEAVE

TILL THE JOB IS DONE.

HIS JOB IS DONE.
I HANDLE IT FROM HERE ON.

UNLESS YOU'D LIKE
TO STOP AND DISCUSS IT.

OPERATOR,
THIS IS 5-0-4-6.

I WANT 8-8-1-1.

Bouchet: HELLO?

DUBREE HERE.

HOW MANY SHARES HAVE WE?

120,000 AS OF
A FEW MOMENTS AGO.

I TOLD YOU,
I MUST HAVE 170,000.

IT'S BECOMING MORE
AND MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THEM,

AND NOW THE EXCHANGE
IS STARTING TO ASK QUESTIONS.

I TOLD YOU
TO BE CAREFUL.

I HAVE BEEN CAREFUL,
BUT ONE CANNOT BUY

$8 MILLION WORTH
OF STOCK IN ONE DAY

WITHOUT RAISING SOME SUSPICION.

GET THE OTHER
50,000 SHARES.

MISS HOLMES JUST WALKED IN.

KEEP HER OCCUPIED.

TELL HER
WE'RE BUYING FOR HER

IF SHE ASKS
ANY QUESTIONS.

WHERE IS MONSIEUR DUBREE?

AH, MISS HOLMES,
HOW NICE TO SEE YOU.

MR. DUBREE WILL BE
HERE SHORTLY.

WHAT ABOUT MY STOCK?

OH, WE'RE BUYING IT
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

Gereaux: BOUCHET.

AH, MR. GEREAUX.

WHAT IS THE MEANING
OF THIS, BOUCHET?

THE DUBREE COMPANY HAS PURCHASED
UPWARDS OF $7 MILLION

WORTH OF ONE STOCK --
AMBOULI COPPER.

SIR --
DUBREE CANNOT COVER
THIS AMOUNT.

HE'S BEEN WARNED ABOUT
THIS KIND OF SPECULATION.

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S NOT IN YET TODAY.

IF HE IS NOT HERE
IN 15 MINUTES,

THE GOVERNMENT
WILL STEP IN.

HE WILL BE HERE,
I'M CERTAIN OF IT.

I'M LATE.

HOW MUCH LONGER?

ONLY BE A MINUTE.

GET YOUR CAR STARTED.

DIGEUR,

START THE ENGINE.

CHECK THE INK LEVEL
IN THE COPIER.

THERE SEEMS TO BE PLENTY
OF INK STILL IN THERE.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
THE LAST BATCH.

GOOD.

I MUST GET BACK
TO MY OFFICE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHERE CAN YOU
BE REACHED?

YOU HAVE A MARVELOUS MACHINE,

AND I CAN GET MORE
OF THE PAPER.

DON'T WORRY,
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

Gereaux: MR. BOUCHET?

IF MR. DUBREE IS NOT HERE

IN FIVE MINUTES
AS YOU PROMISED,

I AM GOING TO PULL
AMBOULI COPPER OFF THE MARKET

AND CLOSE YOU OUT.

MR. DUBREE?

GEREAUX IS HERE.

MR. DUBREE,
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

ABOUT SPECULATIONS
WITH MARGIN PURCHASING.

IF THIS AMBOULI BUYING
IS MORE OF THE SAME,

I WILL ORDER CHARGES
BROUGHT AGAINST YOU.

I HAVE THE CASH
TO COVER THAT PURCHASE.

$8 MILLION?

YES.

I'LL HAVE TO SEE IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND.

ANTON, BRING ME
THE LATEST QUOTATIONS.

[ BUZZING ]

CONGRATULATIONS,
MR. DUBREE.

YOU ARE A VERY RICH MAN.

ANY MAN WHO BUYS
$8 MILLION WORTH OF STOCK

AND CANNOT PAY FOR IT
IS NOT RICH.

HOW'D IT GO?

MONSIEUR DUBREE'S
BEEN WORKING TOO HARD.

HE'S ABOUT TO TAKE A NICE,
LONG VACATION.

WHERE'S THE PAPER?
