Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 3, Episode 10 - The Bargain - full transcript
A former dictator, now in exile in Miami, plans to make a deal with the Syndicate -- they will finance the coup that will return him to rule his homeland in exchange for his promise to legalize gambling in the country once he regains power. The IMF agents use the dictator's fondness for gourmet food to gain entry to his house in order to make sure that the bargain never takes place.

[ BELL RINGS ]
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
IS GENERAL ERNESTO NEYRON,
THE FORMER DICTATOR
OF SURANICA,
WHO NOW LIVES IN EXILE
AT HIS CLOSELY GUARDED
MIAMI ESTATE.
IN ORDER TO FINANCE
A MILITARY COUP
WHICH WILL RETURN HIM
TO POWER,
NEYRON IS ABOUT TO CONCLUDE
A DEAL WITH THIS MAN,
FRANK LAYTON,
A TOP SYNDICATE LEADER.
IN EXCHANGE
FOR SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS,
NEYRON HAS AGREED TO LEGALIZE
GAMBLING IN SURANICA,
AND GIVE ALL RIGHTS
TO THE SYNDICATE.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP NEYRON
AND THE SYNDICATE.
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, JIM.
THIS IS THE MANSION THAT NEYRON
BOUGHT OUTSIDE OF MIAMI.
ISOLATED...
REGULAR GUARD PATROLS.
THERE'S NO WAY
WE COULD BREAK IN?
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN
GET IN THERE, WILLIE,
IS TO HAVE NEYRON
INVITE YOU IN.
BUT NEYRON
IS A GOURMET,
SO WE'VE ARRANGED
FOR A CHEF TO QUIT.
THE RECIPES?
HIS BOUILLABAISSE
IS PERFECTION,
BUT AFTER THAT...
IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE THE CHEF
FROM THE TABLE NOIR
WILL BE PREPARING
THE REST OF THE MEALS
FOR OUR OWN JEAN TIBOCOU.
ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS TAKE THE BOWS, MAN.
THE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY?
IT'S THE ONE
NEYRON ALWAYS USES.
THE INTERVIEW LISTS,
THE REFERENCES, THEY'RE ALL SET.
WHAT ABOUT LAYTON?
FRANK LAYTON OPERATES
OUT OF A MIAMI BEACH HOTEL
SECRETLY OWNED BY THE SYNDICATE.
ROLLIN, THE PROBLEM WILL BE
GETTING AWAY FROM HIM
AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT MOMENT.
IS THE FILM READY
OF YOU AS FRANK LAYTON?
IT'S ALL SET
IN THE MACHINE.
VERY GOOD, ROLLIN.
THE CARDS, CINNAMON.
AND THAT'S IT
EXCEPT FOR THE PROJECTION.
THERE'S A CONCAVE MIRROR
SIMILAR TO THIS
IN NEYRON'S STUDY.
BARNEY?
READY, JIM.
THE PRINCIPLE OF WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
IS PARABOLIC DISPLACEMENT.
A CONCAVE SURFACE REFLECTING
AN IMAGE INTO SPACE,
MUCH LIKE THE WELL-KNOWN OASIS
IN A DESERT MIRAGE.
OURS IS BETTER-FOCUSED.
HOW MUCH MORE, BARNEY?
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
[ TRAIN HORN BLOWING ]
NO! IT IS NOT ENOUGH!
IF THE COUP FAILS,
YOU LOSE SOME MONEY.
I LOSE MY LIFE.
I MUST HAVE MORE MEN,
MORE GUNS!
I NEED AT LEAST
ONE MILLION DOLLARS MORE!
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL UP IT A HALF A MILLION,
BUT THAT'S IT.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
I'LL HAVE THE PAPERS DRAWN UP.
WE'LL SIGN THE DEAL TONIGHT.
AND THE MONEY?
TONIGHT.
IF THIS WERE SURANICA,
I'D HAVE THEM ADDED
TO THE EXECUTION LIST.
MR. COOPER?
IS EVERYTHING READY?
I'VE RESERVED THE PENTHOUSE
AND THE TOP FLOOR.
I ASSUME
THAT WILL BE SUFFICIENT.
MR. SMITH WILL ALSO REQUIRE
THE NEXT-TO-THE-TOP FLOOR.
WELL, SOME OF THE SUITES
ON THAT FLOOR ARE OCCUPIED,
AND OF COURSE THERE ARE
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS.
THIS SHOULD COVER
ANY ADDED EXPENSE.
YES, SIR. AMPLY.
PLEASE SEE
THAT IT'S TAKEN CARE OF.
I'LL CALL THE BELL CAPTAIN
TO SEE TO YOUR LUGGAGE.
WE'LL USE THE REAR ENTRANCE.
MR. SMITH DOESN'T LIKE CROWDS.
SEE THAT THIS AREA
IS SEALED OFF
UNTIL MR. SMITH
PASSES THROUGH.
YES, SIR.
THIS IS NO BOUILLABAISSE!
THIS IS GARBAGE!
TAKE THIS AWAY.
NO MORE APPLICANTS?
IS THAT ALL?
NO MORE APPLICANTS WERE
REFERRED TO BY THE AGENCIES?
JUST ONE MORE,
BUT HE INSISTS
ON SERVING IT HIMSELF.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
BRING THEM IN.
[ SPEAKING FRENCH ]
STEAMED SHALLOTS...
AND SOMETHING ELSE.
KASHMIR SAFFRON.
VERY GOOD.
GOOD.
HAVE YOU ANY REFERENCES?
EXCELLENT. YOU'RE HIRED.
[ French accent ]
THANK YOU, EXCELLENCY.
YOU WILL MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR MY STAFF?
THERE WILL BE NO NEED
FOR THAT. WE HAVE SERVANTS.
I WORK ONLY
WITH MY OWN STAFF.
NATURALLY,
IF YOU DO NOT WISH
TO HIRE ME
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS...
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
SHOW THEM TO THE, UH,
SERVANTS' QUARTERS.
THIS WAY, PLEASE.
IF I COULD BE OF ANY --
YOU HAVE AN OFF-SEASON
VACANCY FACTOR
OF APPROXIMATELY 18%.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES, BUT --
3,500 MAXIMUM CONVENTION
CAPACITY, RIGHT?
YES.
AND A REPEAT-RESERVATION RATIO
OF APPROXIMATELY 35%?
THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
WHEN WAS YOUR LAST
STATE CERTIFICATION?
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE.
IT'S LISTED
ON YOUR INSURANCE.
NATURALLY.
I WANT TO EXAMINE YOUR POLICIES
AS SOON AS I'M FINISHED
TALKING TO MR. LAYTON.
WHERE IS HIS OFFICE?
IT'S HERE,
BUT HE'S NOT IN.
I'LL WAIT.
I THINK YOU'LL AGREE THE PRICE
IS EMINENTLY FAIR, GENTLEMEN --
A MILLION AND A HALF OVER
THE ASSET VALUE OF THE HOTEL.
ONE THING I MUST
WARN YOU ABOUT.
ONCE WE SET A PRICE, IT'S FIRM.
WE NEVER BARGAIN.
SHOW MISTER, UH...
COOPER.
SHOW MR. COOPER OUT.
WAIT A MINUTE.
I DON'T THINK
YOU QUITE UNDERSTAND.
MY EMPLOYER MR. SMITH
WOULD PREFER
TO HANDLE THIS MATTER SIMPLY,
WITHOUT THE NECESSITY
OF BRINGING, UH,
OUTSIDE PRESSURE TO BEAR.
I THINK IF YOU'LL RECONSIDER,
YOU WILL DECIDE
TO COOPERATE, GENTLEMEN.
YOU HAVE 24 HOURS.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION.
HE KNOWS.
YEAH.
IN THAT CASE, WE HAVE TO
FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO HE IS,
AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT HIM.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ Normal voice ] GOOD.
WHAT ABOUT THE PROJECTOR SETUP?
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SOUND?
TIE INTO THESE WIRES.
RIGHT.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
SOLDIER!
IS THERE A MAN STATIONED
OUTSIDE ON THE BALCONY?
NO, COLONEL.
WHY NOT?
IF I HAVE TOLD YOU ONCE,
I HAVE TOLD YOU
A THOUSAND TIMES,
I WANT A MAN STATIONED
ON THE BALCONY 24 HOURS A DAY.
UNDERSTOOD?
YES, COLONEL.
ALL RIGHT.
CHECK THE KITCHEN.
[ French accent ]
STOP.
WHAT IS IT?
STAND STILL, MAN.
I HAVE SOUFFLé RISING IN THERE.
YOUR PROBLEMS IN THE KITCHEN
DO NOT CONCERN ME.
YES, THEY DO.
THAT DISH BEING SPECIALLY
PREPARED FOR GENERAL NEYRON.
NOW, IF YOU WANT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR RUINING IT...
ALL RIGHT. WE CAN CHECK
THE KITCHEN LATER.
YES, SIR.
WE WILL INSPECT
UPSTAIRS NOW.
"1:12 P.M. --
CABLE TO ZURICH.
"SELL OUT
TRANS-EUROPEAN INDUSTRIES.
TRANSFER FUNDS
TO CARIBBEAN ACCOUNT."
VERY SLICK.
I DON'T GET IT.
HE'S DUMPING
HIS EUROPEAN HOLDINGS,
KNOCKING THE PRICE DOWN,
THEN HE'S BUYING THEM BACK
UNDER A DUMMY CORPORATION.
IT MEANS HE'S TRANSFERRING
HIS OPERATIONS
TO THE CARIBBEAN.
THOSE WERE
THE ONLY CALLS?
HOW WERE
THOSE CABLES SIGNED?
JUST "SMITH."
I WONDER WHO HE REALLY IS.
THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN
IN THE COUNTRY
THAT COULD ACCOMPLISH
AN INTERNATIONAL CARTEL MANEUVER
LIKE THAT
WITH JUST A COUPLE OF CABLES --
CHARLES CARSON.
IT'S SMITH!
NOTHING FOR ME, THANKS.
MY STOMACH HASN'T BEEN
TOO GOOD LATELY.
YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME
ON BUSINESS.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO GET AHEAD.
MAYBE WE COULD GET DOWN
TO OUR BUSINESS NOW.
IF YOU LIKE.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
THE MONEY?
AFTER YOU SIGN
THE CONTRACT.
RIGHT 40.
LEFT 17.
RIGHT 25.
THAT'S NO MONEY.
IT'S THE SAME THING --
NEGOTIABLE BONDS.
YES, BUT I DEAL IN CASH,
OR THERE IS NO BARGAIN.
ALL RIGHT,
BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO YOU
UNTIL AFTER OUR BANKS
OPEN TOMORROW.
AFTER YOU BRING
THE CASH TOMORROW.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
I'VE GOT IT DOWN
TO 27 SECONDS
FROM START TO FINISH.
JUST A LOOSE CONNECTION.
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ MUSIC PLAYING ]
[ MUSIC PLAYING ]
YOUR SHERRY FLIP
IS READY, SIR.
Shall I mix it?
NO. I'LL DO IT.
Yes, sir.
HOW SOON WILL IT
TAKE EFFECT?
IN TIME FOR NEYRON TO WAKE UP
WITH 10 HANGOVERS ROLLED INTO 1.
WHERE'D HE GO?
BANK.
BANK?
THEY OPENED IT AHEAD OF TIME
JUST FOR HIM.
[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]
COOPER?
YES.
DID YOU MAKE
THE ARRANGEMENTS?
EVERYTHING.
I DEPOSITED ALL THE MONEY
IN A SAFE-DEPOSIT BOX
IN CASH.
IT'S A MILLION MORE
THAN LAYTON OFFERED.
THE APPOINTMENT?
11:00. I'LL HAVE
THE CONTRACT SIGNED THEN.
LAYTON?
HE THINKS IT'S STILL
THE HOTEL YOU'RE AFTER.
HE'LL BE SURPRISED WHEN HE
FINDS OUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING.
YOU BETTER FOLLOW HIM
TO THAT APPOINTMENT, ARNIE.
ARNIE...
TAKE A GUN.
I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.
WHAT IS IT?
SLIGHTLY RAPID IS ALL.
WHAT DO I HAVE?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
I DOUBT THAT IT'S ANYTHING
SERIOUS, GENERAL.
WHAT ABOUT MY, UH, HEADACHE?
I WOKE UP COLD AND SHIVERING.
THEN I FELT HOT.
COMMON COLD COULD ACCOUNT
FOR THAT.
WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
DID YOU EXPERIENCE
ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS?
YES. I HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE
WITH MY HEARING
AND WITH MY EYES.
MAY BE A RECURRENCE
OF THAT TROPICAL FEVER
THAT YOU CONTRACTED
ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO.
NOW, GENERAL,
I WANT YOU TO TAKE TWO OF THESE
EVERY FOUR HOURS.
SO I DON'T NEED
A SPECIALIST?
NO. NO.
I'LL DROP BY AGAIN TOMORROW
TO SEE HOW YOU ARE.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
IT'S SET UP
SO THAT WHEN YOU DIAL 9,
IT'LL ONLY RING
THROUGH THE INTERCOM SYSTEM
IN THE STUDY.
Man: Yes?
THIS IS MR. COOPER.
I WANT TO ORDER A TAXI.
PLEASE HAVE IT PICK ME UP
AT EXACTLY A QUARTER OF 11:00.
SEE HE GETS
THE RIGHT CAB, ARNIE.
OH, AND YOU BETTER SEND
CHARLIE BACK UP
JUST TO MAKE SURE MR. SMITH
DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE
A SUDDEN TRIP.
SOMETHING LIGHT --
A LITTLE BOUILLON?
NO, I'M ALL RIGHT.
AH. AND I WOULD SUGGEST
A POULET AIGUILLETTE.
HIS EXCELLENCY, OF COURSE,
WOULD PREFER IT SAUTéED
BEFORE BROILING.
YES, BUT WITH CHAMPIGNON.
Phelps: YES, THAT CONFIRMS
MY DIAGNOSIS --
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?
NOTHING, EXCELLENCY.
WHO -- WHO WAS TALKING?
I HEARD SOMEONE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
YOU MU HAVE HEARD.
NO. PERHAPS AN ECHO
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
NOW FOR THE FIRST COURSE,
I THOUGHT, UH,
A BISQUE PROVENçAL.
WHAT?
BISQUE PROVENçAL --
THAT WOULD MEET
WITH YOUR EXCELLENCY'S TASTE.
OH, YES. THAT'S FINE.
YOU HEARD NOTHING?
NO.
OH!
I'M SORRY, EXCELLENCY.
LOOK.
LOOK AT THE CARDS.
DON'T YOU SEE THEM?
SEE WHAT?
THE CARDS, THESE CARDS --
2 OF CLUBS, 3 OF SPADES,
6 OF DIAMONDS, ACE OF HEARTS.
HIS EXCELLENCY
IS A MAGICIAN,
BUT HOW IS THE TRICK
PERFORMED?
IT'S NO TRICK.
I CAN SEE THE OTHER SIDE.
DON'T YOU SEE?
NO.
GUARD.
YES, GENERAL.
COME IN HERE.
LOOK AT THOSE CARDS.
TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE.
NO. JUST TELL ME
WHAT THEY ARE.
I CANNOT, GENERAL.
I MUST TURN THEM OVER.
BUT YOU CAN SEE
THROUGH THEM.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE,
GENERAL?
NO! GET OUT!
YES...
GO AND GET
COLONEL SANTAGURA.
YES, GENERAL.
NOW THE WINE.
WOULD HIS EXCELLENCY PREFER
A GRENACHE...
[ RING ]
OR SOME CHABLIS?
[ RING ]
ANSWER THE PHONE,
WILL YOU?
BUT IT ISN'T RINGING.
[ RING ]
IT IS RINGING.
NO.
IT IS RINGING!
[ RING ]
HELLO.
THIS IS CHARLIE.
YOU TWO CHECK THE BACK.
HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN OFF
AND USED THE STAIRS.
I'LL WAIT HERE.
RIGHT.
YOUR CHOICE OF WINE
IS EXCELLENT, GENERAL.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RING ]
DO YOU WISH FOR ME
TO ANSWER THE TELEPHONE,
EXCELLENCY?
DO YOU HEAR IT?
WHY, YES.
DO YOU HEAR IT, TOO?
OF COURSE.
WELL, THEN ANSWER IT!
[ RING ]
HELLO.
THIS IS DR. JOSEPH BRANDT'S
SECRETARY.
YES.
Dr. Brandt had to leave
for the hospital
on an emergency.
HE ASKED ME TO TELL YOU
HE'S CHANGED HIS MIND.
HE'S GOING TO SEND
A SPECIALIST --
A DR. LEWSHIME --
to examine General Neyron.
YES. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HELLO, OPERATOR, WILL YOU HAVE
SOMEONE PAGE MR. SMITH?
MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
I'M TO PICK HIM UP AT
THE REAR ENTRANCE IN HIS CAR.
THANK YOU.
I'LL HOLD ON.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RINGS BELL ]
PAGING MR. SMITH.
PAGING MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
PAGING MR. SMITH.
PAGING MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
[ RINGS DOORBELL ]
DR. LEWSHIME
TO SEE GENERAL NEYRON.
KEEP HIM COVERED
TILL I GET LAYTON,
AND IF HE TWITCHES ONCE...
YES, THAT CONFIRMS
MY DIAGNOSIS.
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANY NEED FOR FURTHER TESTS.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WHAT YOU JUST SAID,
I KNEW YOU WERE
GOING TO SAY IT.
WELL, THEN YOU MEAN
DR. BRANDT
ALSO DIAGNOSED
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
NO, NO, BUT I KNEW
YOU WERE GOING TO SAY IT --
THE EXACT WORDS,
EVEN YOUR VOICE.
PRECOGNITION -- VERY COMMON
IN THESE CASES.
PRECOGNITION?
YES. THE FEELING
THAT, UH...
WELL, THAT A DOORBELL
IS RINGING
BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RINGS,
OR SEEING NUMBERS ON DICE
BEFORE THEY STOP ROLLING,
OR SEEING LETTERS OR PICTURES
ON VARIOUS OBJECTS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS,
THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
I SEE...
BUT NO HALLUCINATIONS,
NO VISIONS.
VISIONS?
WHAT KIND OF VISIONS?
WELL, USUALLY
THEY TAKE THE FORM
OF VERY EXPLICIT
VISUAL PHENOMENON --
OBJECTS, FORECASTS,
SOMETIMES REMARKABLY
ACCURATE.
NOW, I HAVE A DOCUMENTED CASE
OF A WOMAN
WHO HAD A VISION
OF HER HUSBAND
HURTLING THROUGH SPACE
EXACTLY HALF AN HOUR
BEFORE HE COMMITTED SUICIDE
BY JUMPING OUT OF A WINDOW.
HOWEVER, GENERAL NEYRON,
LET ME ASSURE YOU
THERE'S NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
THE SYNDROME IS RARE,
BUT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS,
NOR IS IT
EXTREMELY PROLONGED.
SOME OF MY PATIENTS WISH
THEY COULD KEEP THE SYMPTOMS.
WHAT?
MOSTLY GAMBLERS, OF COURSE.
AS I SAID, THEIR PREDICTIONS
ARE UNCOMMONLY ACCURATE.
HOWEVER, INEVITABLY
THE SYMPTOMS PASS
WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO.
WELL, I DON'T WANT THEM.
GIVE ME SOMETHING.
ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
YOU CAN GIVE ME?
NOTHING SPECIFIC.
I THINK...
THAT WE'LL JUST
GIVE YOU A TRANQUILIZER.
YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S NOT
TO BE DISTURBED.
BUT THE GENERAL
IS EXPECTING SOMEONE.
NO. HE MUST BE LEFT
COMPLETELY ALONE TO REST.
BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT --
A BUSINESS MEETING.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S VITAL.
HOW SOON?
IN PERHAPS HALF AN HOUR.
ALL RIGHT, THEN
MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE
AND LEAVE HIM.
FOR THAT HALF-HOUR,
HE MUST REST UNDISTURBED.
YES, DOCTOR. THANK YOU.
IF YOU'LL JUST
TURN IT AROUND...
THAT'S LOVELY.
TURN IT SO THE FLOWERS
WILL SHOW.
Cinnamon: THANK YOU.
THIS IS ALL
YOU WERE AFTER?
WHAT'S YOUR GAME?
WHO ARE YOU?
IS HE UNDER?
WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S A WARRANT.
WELL, READ IT.
"FOR THE PURPOSE AND PURSUIT
"OF SEARCHING FOR AND THEREAFTER
SEIZING AS EVIDENCE
"ALL CONTRACTS, ASSIGNMENTS,
OR OTHER FIDUCIARY PAPERS
"OF CHARLES CARSON, ALSO KNOWN
AS JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH,
OR ANY AGENT
OR EMPLOYEE THEREOF."
I DON'T GET IT.
THIS WARRANT'S FOR CARSON.
IT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH US.
ACTING FOR CARSON
MAKES YOU AN ACCESSORY.
I SUGGEST YOU SURRENDER ALL
YOUR CONTRACTS WITH CARSON.
WHAT CONTRACTS?
NOW, LOOK, WE KNOW CARSON
IS MAKING A DEAL
WITH GENERAL NEYRON
TO TAKE OVER SURANICA.
WE ALSO KNOW YOU AND THE
SYNDICATE ARE FRONTING FOR HIM.
CARSON'S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH SURANICA.
YOU'RE WRONG,
FRANK.
NEYRON DOUBLE-CROSSED US.
HE MADE A DEAL
WITH CARSON'S MAN HERE.
I FOUND THIS.
HERE. HERE'S A CONTRACT
GRANTING EXCLUSIVE
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
IN SURANICA TO CARSON.
IT'S SIGNED.
THAT'S HIS SIGNATURE,
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE IT. IT'S EVIDENCE.
YOU -- YOU'RE UNDER ARREST,
AND I CAN'T TOUCH YOU,
I'M SORRY TO SAY.
ME? WHAT ABOUT NEYRON?
GOT NO WARRANT FOR HIM,
BUT WITH THIS,
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS...
A COUPLE OF DAYS?
HE'LL BE GONE.
NOW HE'S GOT NEGOTIABLE
BONDS IN HIS SAFE --
MONEY HE TOOK FROM ME
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
I'M HEARTBROKEN.
NOW LISTEN, YOU.
I'M A CITIZEN.
I'VE GOT RIGHTS.
I WANT THOSE BONDS BACK.
YOU'RE THE LAW.
YOU GET THEM.

A DEAL WITH CARSON.
DID YOU REALLY THINK
YOU WERE GOING TO GET AWAY
WITH DOUBLE-CROSSING
THE SYNDICATE?
I'M TAKING THOSE BONDS BACK.

NO.
WHY, THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE!
THEY'RE GONE!
[ RINGS DOORBELL ]

WHERE'S THE GENERAL?
HE'S IN THE STUDY.
I HAVE BUSINESS

YOU WERE COMING HERE.
I WANT THOSE BONDS.
I DIDN'T DOUBLE-CROSS YOU.

IT MEANS HE'S TRANSFERRING
HIS OPERATIONS
TO THE CARIBBEAN.
THOSE WERE
THE ONLY CALLS?
HOW WERE
THOSE CABLES SIGNED?
JUST "SMITH."
I WONDER WHO HE REALLY IS.
THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN
IN THE COUNTRY
THAT COULD ACCOMPLISH
AN INTERNATIONAL CARTEL MANEUVER
LIKE THAT
WITH JUST A COUPLE OF CABLES --
CHARLES CARSON.
IT'S SMITH!
NOTHING FOR ME, THANKS.
MY STOMACH HASN'T BEEN
TOO GOOD LATELY.
YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME
ON BUSINESS.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO GET AHEAD.
MAYBE WE COULD GET DOWN
TO OUR BUSINESS NOW.
IF YOU LIKE.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
THE MONEY?
AFTER YOU SIGN
THE CONTRACT.
RIGHT 40.
LEFT 17.
RIGHT 25.
THAT'S NO MONEY.
IT'S THE SAME THING --
NEGOTIABLE BONDS.
YES, BUT I DEAL IN CASH,
OR THERE IS NO BARGAIN.
ALL RIGHT,
BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO YOU
UNTIL AFTER OUR BANKS
OPEN TOMORROW.
AFTER YOU BRING
THE CASH TOMORROW.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
I'VE GOT IT DOWN
TO 27 SECONDS
FROM START TO FINISH.
JUST A LOOSE CONNECTION.
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ MUSIC PLAYING ]
[ MUSIC PLAYING ]
YOUR SHERRY FLIP
IS READY, SIR.
Shall I mix it?
NO. I'LL DO IT.
Yes, sir.
HOW SOON WILL IT
TAKE EFFECT?
IN TIME FOR NEYRON TO WAKE UP
WITH 10 HANGOVERS ROLLED INTO 1.
WHERE'D HE GO?
BANK.
BANK?
THEY OPENED IT AHEAD OF TIME
JUST FOR HIM.
[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]
COOPER?
YES.
DID YOU MAKE
THE ARRANGEMENTS?
EVERYTHING.
I DEPOSITED ALL THE MONEY
IN A SAFE-DEPOSIT BOX
IN CASH.
IT'S A MILLION MORE
THAN LAYTON OFFERED.
THE APPOINTMENT?
11:00. I'LL HAVE
THE CONTRACT SIGNED THEN.
LAYTON?
HE THINKS IT'S STILL
THE HOTEL YOU'RE AFTER.
HE'LL BE SURPRISED WHEN HE
FINDS OUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING.
YOU BETTER FOLLOW HIM
TO THAT APPOINTMENT, ARNIE.
ARNIE...
TAKE A GUN.
I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.
WHAT IS IT?
SLIGHTLY RAPID IS ALL.
WHAT DO I HAVE?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
I DOUBT THAT IT'S ANYTHING
SERIOUS, GENERAL.
WHAT ABOUT MY, UH, HEADACHE?
I WOKE UP COLD AND SHIVERING.
THEN I FELT HOT.
COMMON COLD COULD ACCOUNT
FOR THAT.
WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
DID YOU EXPERIENCE
ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS?
YES. I HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE
WITH MY HEARING
AND WITH MY EYES.
MAY BE A RECURRENCE
OF THAT TROPICAL FEVER
THAT YOU CONTRACTED
ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO.
NOW, GENERAL,
I WANT YOU TO TAKE TWO OF THESE
EVERY FOUR HOURS.
SO I DON'T NEED
A SPECIALIST?
NO. NO.
I'LL DROP BY AGAIN TOMORROW
TO SEE HOW YOU ARE.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
IT'S SET UP
SO THAT WHEN YOU DIAL 9,
IT'LL ONLY RING
THROUGH THE INTERCOM SYSTEM
IN THE STUDY.
Man: Yes?
THIS IS MR. COOPER.
I WANT TO ORDER A TAXI.
PLEASE HAVE IT PICK ME UP
AT EXACTLY A QUARTER OF 11:00.
SEE HE GETS
THE RIGHT CAB, ARNIE.
OH, AND YOU BETTER SEND
CHARLIE BACK UP
JUST TO MAKE SURE MR. SMITH
DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE
A SUDDEN TRIP.
SOMETHING LIGHT --
A LITTLE BOUILLON?
NO, I'M ALL RIGHT.
AH. AND I WOULD SUGGEST
A POULET AIGUILLETTE.
HIS EXCELLENCY, OF COURSE,
WOULD PREFER IT SAUTéED
BEFORE BROILING.
YES, BUT WITH CHAMPIGNON.
Phelps: YES, THAT CONFIRMS
MY DIAGNOSIS --
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?
NOTHING, EXCELLENCY.
WHO -- WHO WAS TALKING?
I HEARD SOMEONE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
YOU MU HAVE HEARD.
NO. PERHAPS AN ECHO
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
NOW FOR THE FIRST COURSE,
I THOUGHT, UH,
A BISQUE PROVENçAL.
WHAT?
BISQUE PROVENçAL --
THAT WOULD MEET
WITH YOUR EXCELLENCY'S TASTE.
OH, YES. THAT'S FINE.
YOU HEARD NOTHING?
NO.
OH!
I'M SORRY, EXCELLENCY.
LOOK.
LOOK AT THE CARDS.
DON'T YOU SEE THEM?
SEE WHAT?
THE CARDS, THESE CARDS --
2 OF CLUBS, 3 OF SPADES,
6 OF DIAMONDS, ACE OF HEARTS.
HIS EXCELLENCY
IS A MAGICIAN,
BUT HOW IS THE TRICK
PERFORMED?
IT'S NO TRICK.
I CAN SEE THE OTHER SIDE.
DON'T YOU SEE?
NO.
GUARD.
YES, GENERAL.
COME IN HERE.
LOOK AT THOSE CARDS.
TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE.
NO. JUST TELL ME
WHAT THEY ARE.
I CANNOT, GENERAL.
I MUST TURN THEM OVER.
BUT YOU CAN SEE
THROUGH THEM.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE,
GENERAL?
NO! GET OUT!
YES...
GO AND GET
COLONEL SANTAGURA.
YES, GENERAL.
NOW THE WINE.
WOULD HIS EXCELLENCY PREFER
A GRENACHE...
[ RING ]
OR SOME CHABLIS?
[ RING ]
ANSWER THE PHONE,
WILL YOU?
BUT IT ISN'T RINGING.
[ RING ]
IT IS RINGING.
NO.
IT IS RINGING!
[ RING ]
HELLO.
THIS IS CHARLIE.
YOU TWO CHECK THE BACK.
HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN OFF
AND USED THE STAIRS.
I'LL WAIT HERE.
RIGHT.
YOUR CHOICE OF WINE
IS EXCELLENT, GENERAL.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RING ]
DO YOU WISH FOR ME
TO ANSWER THE TELEPHONE,
EXCELLENCY?
DO YOU HEAR IT?
WHY, YES.
DO YOU HEAR IT, TOO?
OF COURSE.
WELL, THEN ANSWER IT!
[ RING ]
HELLO.
THIS IS DR. JOSEPH BRANDT'S
SECRETARY.
YES.
Dr. Brandt had to leave
for the hospital
on an emergency.
HE ASKED ME TO TELL YOU
HE'S CHANGED HIS MIND.
HE'S GOING TO SEND
A SPECIALIST --
A DR. LEWSHIME --
to examine General Neyron.
YES. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HELLO, OPERATOR, WILL YOU HAVE
SOMEONE PAGE MR. SMITH?
MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
I'M TO PICK HIM UP AT
THE REAR ENTRANCE IN HIS CAR.
THANK YOU.
I'LL HOLD ON.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RINGS BELL ]
PAGING MR. SMITH.
PAGING MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
PAGING MR. SMITH.
PAGING MR. JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH.
[ RINGS DOORBELL ]
DR. LEWSHIME
TO SEE GENERAL NEYRON.
KEEP HIM COVERED
TILL I GET LAYTON,
AND IF HE TWITCHES ONCE...
YES, THAT CONFIRMS
MY DIAGNOSIS.
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANY NEED FOR FURTHER TESTS.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WHAT YOU JUST SAID,
I KNEW YOU WERE
GOING TO SAY IT.
WELL, THEN YOU MEAN
DR. BRANDT
ALSO DIAGNOSED
VAN DELBERT'S SYNDROME.
NO, NO, BUT I KNEW
YOU WERE GOING TO SAY IT --
THE EXACT WORDS,
EVEN YOUR VOICE.
PRECOGNITION -- VERY COMMON
IN THESE CASES.
PRECOGNITION?
YES. THE FEELING
THAT, UH...
WELL, THAT A DOORBELL
IS RINGING
BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RINGS,
OR SEEING NUMBERS ON DICE
BEFORE THEY STOP ROLLING,
OR SEEING LETTERS OR PICTURES
ON VARIOUS OBJECTS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS,
THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
I SEE...
BUT NO HALLUCINATIONS,
NO VISIONS.
VISIONS?
WHAT KIND OF VISIONS?
WELL, USUALLY
THEY TAKE THE FORM
OF VERY EXPLICIT
VISUAL PHENOMENON --
OBJECTS, FORECASTS,
SOMETIMES REMARKABLY
ACCURATE.
NOW, I HAVE A DOCUMENTED CASE
OF A WOMAN
WHO HAD A VISION
OF HER HUSBAND
HURTLING THROUGH SPACE
EXACTLY HALF AN HOUR
BEFORE HE COMMITTED SUICIDE
BY JUMPING OUT OF A WINDOW.
HOWEVER, GENERAL NEYRON,
LET ME ASSURE YOU
THERE'S NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
THE SYNDROME IS RARE,
BUT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS,
NOR IS IT
EXTREMELY PROLONGED.
SOME OF MY PATIENTS WISH
THEY COULD KEEP THE SYMPTOMS.
WHAT?
MOSTLY GAMBLERS, OF COURSE.
AS I SAID, THEIR PREDICTIONS
ARE UNCOMMONLY ACCURATE.
HOWEVER, INEVITABLY
THE SYMPTOMS PASS
WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO.
WELL, I DON'T WANT THEM.
GIVE ME SOMETHING.
ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
YOU CAN GIVE ME?
NOTHING SPECIFIC.
I THINK...
THAT WE'LL JUST
GIVE YOU A TRANQUILIZER.
YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S NOT
TO BE DISTURBED.
BUT THE GENERAL
IS EXPECTING SOMEONE.
NO. HE MUST BE LEFT
COMPLETELY ALONE TO REST.
BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT --
A BUSINESS MEETING.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S VITAL.
HOW SOON?
IN PERHAPS HALF AN HOUR.
ALL RIGHT, THEN
MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE
AND LEAVE HIM.
FOR THAT HALF-HOUR,
HE MUST REST UNDISTURBED.
YES, DOCTOR. THANK YOU.
IF YOU'LL JUST
TURN IT AROUND...
THAT'S LOVELY.
TURN IT SO THE FLOWERS
WILL SHOW.
Cinnamon: THANK YOU.
THIS IS ALL
YOU WERE AFTER?
WHAT'S YOUR GAME?
WHO ARE YOU?
IS HE UNDER?
WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S A WARRANT.
WELL, READ IT.
"FOR THE PURPOSE AND PURSUIT
"OF SEARCHING FOR AND THEREAFTER
SEIZING AS EVIDENCE
"ALL CONTRACTS, ASSIGNMENTS,
OR OTHER FIDUCIARY PAPERS
"OF CHARLES CARSON, ALSO KNOWN
AS JOHN ARLINGTON SMITH,
OR ANY AGENT
OR EMPLOYEE THEREOF."
I DON'T GET IT.
THIS WARRANT'S FOR CARSON.
IT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH US.
ACTING FOR CARSON
MAKES YOU AN ACCESSORY.
I SUGGEST YOU SURRENDER ALL
YOUR CONTRACTS WITH CARSON.
WHAT CONTRACTS?
NOW, LOOK, WE KNOW CARSON
IS MAKING A DEAL
WITH GENERAL NEYRON
TO TAKE OVER SURANICA.
WE ALSO KNOW YOU AND THE
SYNDICATE ARE FRONTING FOR HIM.
CARSON'S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH SURANICA.
YOU'RE WRONG,
FRANK.
NEYRON DOUBLE-CROSSED US.
HE MADE A DEAL
WITH CARSON'S MAN HERE.
I FOUND THIS.
HERE. HERE'S A CONTRACT
GRANTING EXCLUSIVE
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
IN SURANICA TO CARSON.
IT'S SIGNED.
THAT'S HIS SIGNATURE,
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE IT. IT'S EVIDENCE.
YOU -- YOU'RE UNDER ARREST,
AND I CAN'T TOUCH YOU,
I'M SORRY TO SAY.
ME? WHAT ABOUT NEYRON?
GOT NO WARRANT FOR HIM,
BUT WITH THIS,
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS...
A COUPLE OF DAYS?
HE'LL BE GONE.
NOW HE'S GOT NEGOTIABLE
BONDS IN HIS SAFE --
MONEY HE TOOK FROM ME
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
I'M HEARTBROKEN.
NOW LISTEN, YOU.
I'M A CITIZEN.
I'VE GOT RIGHTS.
I WANT THOSE BONDS BACK.
YOU'RE THE LAW.
YOU GET THEM.

YOU GET THEM.
I WILL.

DID YOU REALLY THINK
YOU WERE GOING TO GET AWAY
WITH DOUBLE-CROSSING
THE SYNDICATE?
I'M TAKING THOSE BONDS BACK.

NO.
WHY, THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE!

HE'S IN THE STUDY.
I HAVE BUSINESS
WITH HIM ALONE.

LAYTON, I KNEW
YOU WERE COMING HERE.
I WANT THOSE BONDS.
I DIDN'T DOUBLE-CROSS YOU.
I DON'T KNOW ANY CARSON.

NO!
THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE.
THEY'RE GONE.
