Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 3, Episode 18 - Live Bait - full transcript

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS ORIN SELBY,

ONE OF OUR AGENTS
WHO HAS MANAGED TO BECOME

A HIGH-RANKING MEMBER OF THE
ENEMY'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICE.

BUT THIS MAN, HELMUT KELLERMAN,

THE ENEMY'S CHIEF
OF INTERNAL SECURITY,

HAS BEGUN TO SUSPECT SELBY.

THEN RECENTLY,
KELLERMAN CAPTURED A COURIER,

CODE-NAMED MARCEAU,

WHO KNOWS THAT SELBY
IS AN AMERICAN AGENT.



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

IS TO PROTECT SELBY

AND PUT AN END TO THE THREAT
POSED BY KELLERMAN.

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.

THE LATEST REPORT FROM SELBY

SAYS THAT MARCEAU
HASN'T CRACKED YET,

BUT HE'S UNDER INTERROGATION
AROUND THE CLOCK.

IT WON'T BE LONG.

IS SELBY POSITIVE
THAT MARCEAU CAN EXPOSE HIM?

YES. YOU SEE, MARCEAU
WAS THE AMERICAN AGENT



WHO ARRANGED FOR SELBY'S
ESCAPE FROM AMERICA.

NOW, ALTHOUGH
THEY WERE USING CODE NAMES,

IF KELLERMAN
CAN CRACK MARCEAU,

HE CAN PIECE IT
ALL TOGETHER.

JIM, SINCE WE DON'T KNOW

WHERE KELLERMAN
IS KEEPING MARCEAU,

WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER

TO JUST TAKE SELBY
SAFELY OUT OF THE COUNTRY?

IT MAY COME TO THAT,
CINNAMON.

BUT I STILL THINK
THERE'S A CHANCE

THAT WE CAN RESCUE MARCEAU
AND PRESERVE SELBY'S COVER

IF WE CAN STRIKE KELLERMAN'S
ONE WEAK LINK -- BROCKE.

BROCKE.

WELL, HE'S THE YOUNG
MILITARY AID

KELLERMAN'S PLANTED
IN SELBY'S APPARATUS, HMM?

RIGHT.

JIM, IS SELBY
EXPECTING ME?

YES. YES, HE IS.

YOU GOT THE LIGHTER,
BARNEY?

RIGHT HERE, JIM.

ALL YOU DO IS PUSH THIS
TO ACTIVATE THE GAS.

IT'LL KNOCK HIM OUT FOR
ABOUT 15 MINUTES, ROLLIN.

THESE CAPSULES WILL GIVE US
IMMUNITY TO THE GAS.

THIS WILL REVIVE BROCKE
WHEN WE'RE READY FOR HIM.

NOW LET'S SEE THE PICTURES,
BARNEY.

THE SPLIT SCREEN
WAS NO PROBLEM.

YOU SEE KELLERMAN
AND ROLLIN.

I'VE NEVER EVEN
MET THE MAN.

GOOD.
THAT'S FINE, BARNEY.

AND I'VE GOT
THE LIQUID NITROGEN READY.

JUST IN CASE.

AND, UH,
THEN, BROCKE?

WELL,
I TOLD COLONEL KELLERMAN

THAT YOU WANTED
THE AMERICAN AGENT MARCEAU.

THAT HE WAS OUT
OF HIS JURISDICTION.

BUT HE REFUSED
TO HAND HIM OVER TO YOU.

I SEE.

[ INTERCOM BUZZES ]

YES?

YES, SEND HIM UP.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

WELL, I'M AFRAID HE'S LEFT ME
NO ALTERNATIVE, BROCKE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN, I'VE CALLED O.G.U.
CENTRAL IN ON THE MATTER.

THEY HAVE SENT
AN INVESTIGATOR.

YES, WELL...

I SUPPOSE THAT WAS
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO.

IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS
TO ATTEND TO.

OF COURSE, BROCKE.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HE HAS CALLED IN
O.G.U. CENTRAL!

I KNOW. I HEARD.

BUT AN INVESTIGATION --

BE CALM, BROCKE.

HE'S ONLY TRYING
TO REGAIN INITIATIVE

IN A GAME
HE'S ALREADY LOST.

IT'S A RATHER CLEVER IDEA,
BUT HE'S FINISHED.

YOU KNOW, IN A WAY...

YOU CAN'T HELP
BUT ADMIRE HIM.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Man: COME IN.

ERIC KOMI,
INTELLIGENCE OFFICER,

O.G.U. CENTRAL.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU.

LET US GET RIGHT
TO THE POINT, SHALL WE?

I READ THE REPORT
TO O.G.U.

IN WHICH YOU CLAIM
THAT COLONEL KELLERMAN HAS,

WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION,

TAKEN AN AMERICAN PRISONER
FROM YOUR CUSTODY, CORRECT?

YES, BUT IT'S NOT
JUST A CLAIM.

HE'S DONE IT.

HOW?

BY PLACING ONE OF HIS MEN
IN MY APPARATUS.

WHO?

LIEUTENANT BROCKE,
MY MILITARY AID.

HE KNOWS.

OF COURSE.
HE'S KNOWN ALL ALONG.

HOW?

SHH!

AND WHY DO YOU THINK
HE HAS DONE ALL OF THIS?

BECAUSE HE'S A DOUBLE AGENT,
A TRAITOR.

I BELIEVE IT'S TIME
FOR MY ENTRANCE

BEFORE THEY GO TOO FAR.

COLONEL KELLERMAN IS AFRAID
THAT I WILL EXPOSE HIM

IF I INTERROGATE

AND BREAK
THE AMERICAN AGENT.

I SEE. AND YOU HAVE PROOF
FOR ALL OF THIS?

WELL, NO,

BUT I THINK HIS ACTIONS
CONFIRM MY SUSPICIONS.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME IN.

MORNING, SELBY.

KELLERMAN, SOMEHOW I KNEW
YOU'D BE COMING IN ABOUT NOW.

REALLY?

YOU MUST BE A...MIND READER.

AND THIS IS?

YOU DON'T KNOW?

NO, I DON'T.

ERIC KOMI, O.G.U.
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE.

AH. SOCIAL VISIT?

NO, BUSINESS.

YES. SELBY HERE HAS MADE
A RATHER SERIOUS CHARGE.

HE HAS ACCUSED YOU OF HAVING
TAKEN AN AMERICAN AGENT

AWAY FROM HIM
WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

THAT IS CORRECT.

AND YOU HAD NO RIGHT.

INTERROGATING FOREIGN AGENTS
IS NOT YOUR DEPARTMENT,

IT'S MINE.

YOU ARE CONCERNED ONLY
WITH INTERNAL SECURITY.

AND THAT IS PRECISELY
THE REASON

I TOOK THE AMERICAN AGENT
AWAY --

BECAUSE OF INTERNAL SECURITY.

EXPLAIN.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO,
BUT NOT HERE.

IF YOU WOULD COME
TO MY OFFICE?

THERE HAS BEEN FAR TOO MUCH
UNDERHANDEDNESS GOING ON.

LET'S HAVE IT OUT
IN THE OPEN RIGHT NOW!

I WOULD SUGGEST PRIVACY.

YES. YES...
BUT NOT IN YOUR OFFICE.

IN MY HOTEL ROOM
AT THE HOTEL WILHELM

IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR.

I DEMAND THAT AGENT MARCEAU
BE HANDED OVER TO ME!

NOT UNTIL THERE IS
A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

I SHALL BE IN CONTACT.

GOOD DAY.

[ SIGHS DEEPLY ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

PUT THROUGH AN IMMEDIATE VOICE
SCRAMBLE ON O.G.U. CENTRAL,

DEPARTMENT "D."

HELLO?

UH, YES,
THIS IS B-I-D-9-0-9 CALLING.

I WANT A CHECK
ON ERIC KOMI.

I REQUESTED
AN INTERAGENCY INVESTIGATION.

I BELIEVE SELBY
IS DOING IT FOR US.

YES, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
IF ERIC KOMI

IS THE AUTHORIZED AGENT
THAT YOU SENT

IN ANSWER TO MY REQUEST.

HE IS?

OH.

UM, UH, NO.
NOTHING MORE.

Kellerman: ALL RIGHT.
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHAT IS YOUR CODE NAME?

OH, COME ON.
COME ON.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE.

YOU'VE ALREADY TOLD ME.

YOU REMEMBER TELLING ME,
DON'T YOU?

[ GASPS ]

GOOD.

YOU REMEMBER.

TELL ME.

WHAT IS YOUR CODE NAME?

MARCEAU.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND YOUR JOB, MARCEAU?

WHAT WAS YOUR JOB?

COORDINATING...
ESCAPE...PLANS.

YES...THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU DID THAT JOB VERY WELL.

YOU ARRANGED MANY OF THEM,
DIDN'T YOU?

HMM?

WELL, I AM INTERESTED
IN ONE IN PARTICULAR.

ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO,

A MAN ESCAPED FROM AMERICA
AND BOARDED A FREIGHTER.

YOU REMEMBER?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

DO YOU REMEMBER
THE CODE NAME...

OF THAT OPERATION?

EAGLE.

EAGLE.
THAT'S RIGHT.

EAGLE.

BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THE REAL
NAME OF THE AGENT WHO ESCAPED?

YES, YOU DO.

TELL ME. TELL ME HIS NAME.

COME ON.

YOU REMEMBER, DON'T YOU?!

WELL, TELL ME HIS NAME!

THAT'S IT! TELL ME!

[ GRUNTING ]

TELL ME HIS NAME!
COME ON, TELL ME!

O.G.U. HAS INVESTIGATED
SELBY'S ESCAPE,

AND WE HAVE FOUND NOTHING
THAT WOULD WARRANT SUSPICION.

I BELIEVE MARCEAU
PLANNED IT.

LOOK AT HIS DOSSIER.

HE MUST BE THE ONE.

YOU UNDERSTAND,
OF COURSE, COLONEL,

THAT SELBY HAS A NUMBER
OF FRIENDS...
THANK YOU.

...ON THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

YOU COULD BE
PUTTING YOURSELF

IN A VERY UNTENABLE
POSITION.

HE IS A DOUBLE AGENT!
I KNOW IT.

I CAN PROVE IT
ONCE I BREAK MARCEAU.

HOW LONG WILL THAT BE?

SOON.

24 HOURS?

WELL, UH...

I MIGHT NEED LONGER
THAN THAT.

BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN STALL
SELBY'S REQUEST FOR MARCEAU

BEYOND 24 HOURS.

BUT WHAT IF I CAN'T BREAK
THE MAN IN THAT TIME?

THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO HAND
MARCEAU BACK TO SELBY.

BUT HE WILL KILL HIM

OR ALLOW THE AMERICANS
TO COME AND GET HIM.

IF WHAT YOU SAY
ABOUT SELBY IS TRUE,

THEN THE AMERICANS MAY BE
ON THEIR WAY NOW

AND WILL TAKE HIM FROM YOU.

NO. NO, NO, THEY COULD
NEVER GET HIM INTO -- TO...

TO WHERE I'M HOLDING MARCEAU
UNLESS...

UNLESS...

UNLESS WHAT?

UNLESS WE ALLOW THEM TO GET
IN BY SETTING A TRAP.

YES, BUT THERE'S NO WAY
OF GUARANTEEING

THAT THE AMERICANS
CAN BE MANIPULATED.

WE COULD FEED THEM
INFORMATION --

FALSE INFORMATION AS TO
WHERE MARCEAU IS HIDDEN.

THEY ARE NOT STUPID.

IT WOULD HAVE TO,
HAVE TO LOOK LEGITIMATE.

WELL, OF COURSE,
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO

FORCE ONE OF OUR PEOPLE
TO TELL THEM.

SOMEBODY...
SOMEBODY VULNERABLE.

MMM.

BROCKE.

THE AGENT YOU PLACED
IN SELBY'S APPARATUS?

YES, YES, YES.

IF I WERE THE AMERICANS,

I WOULD STRIKE
DIRECTLY AT BROCKE.

HE'S VULNERABLE.
WHY?

HE'S IN LOVE.

UH, THE YOUNG WOMAN,
NAME'S STEPHANIE, AN ACTRESS.

IF THE AMERICANS HAVE HER,
THEY HAVE BROCKE.

THEN WE FEED BROCKE
WHAT WE WANT THEM TO KNOW.

WOULD IT BE BETTER TO
TELL HIM WHAT WE PLAN TO DO?

NO. IF HE KNEW THAT, HE
WOULD NEVER PLAY THE GAME.

WHAT IF HE FINDS OUT
WHAT WE ARE DOING?

WELL, IF IT CAME TO THAT,

WE WOULD HAVE TO
TAKE HIM OUT.

HE -- HE'S, AFTER ALL,
AN EXPENDABLE PAWN.

NOW...ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS TELL SELBY

THAT BROCKE KNOWS WHERE
I AM HIDING MARCEAU.

HE'LL BRING
THE AMERICANS IN.

AHA!

WE MIGHT CATCH
A BIG ONE, HUH?

VERY WELL, COLONEL.

BUT, UH, FOR OUR SAKES...
YOU HAD BETTER BE RIGHT.

I AM!

DON'T MOVE, ROLLIN.

YOU GET IT?

YEAH. IT'S GOING TO MAKE
KIND OF A NICE LITTLE FEATURE.

I'LL EDIT THE FILM.

THEN I'LL GIVE YOU
YOUR DIALOGUE, JIM.

NOW, THE SCREEN...
IS SPLIT BY THIS CORD.

I'LL MARK YOUR POSITION
ON THE COUCH,

AND I'LL MARK THE POSITION
OF THE CHAIR.

DID I STAY ON MY SIDE
OF THE CORD?

PERFECT, ROLLIN.

COLONEL KELLERMAN.

AH, ALBERT.

HOW DID IT GO
WITH ERIC KOMI?

HE BELIEVES ME, ALBERT.

HE BELIEVES SELBY
IS A DOUBLE AGENT.

VERY GOOD.

THOSE ARE THE PLANS
FOR THE SECURITY BUILDING.

THEY INDICATE ENTRANCES

AND THE ONLY ACCESS
TO MARCEAU'S CELL.

I, I WANT YOU TO HAVE THEM.

WELL, TAKE THEM.

WHY?

I WANT YOU TO PLANT THEM
IN SELBY'S OFFICE

JUST BEFORE
WE MOVE IN ON HIM.

THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

I DON'T SEE WHY
WE HAVE TO GO THAT FAR.

IT WILL HELP OUR CASE.

ALBERT, THERE ARE NO ETHICS
IN OUR BUSINESS...

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
DEALING WITH A DOUBLE AGENT.

I WILL TELL YOU
WHEN TO PLANT THEM.

THIS IS WHERE YOU STAND, JIM.

AFTER ALL,
HE IS AN EXPENDABLE PAWN.

ALL RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T
GET SELBY THIS TIME,

YOU'RE FINISHED.

I THOUGHT
I HEARD SOMETHING.

YOU BETTER GO.
I'LL CHECK ON THE GIRL.

THAT'S IT, JIM.

[ RINGS ]

YES?

BROCKE JUST ARRIVED.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

I'LL BE THERE
IN FIVE MINUTES.

ANY OF KELLERMAN'S PEOPLE
FOLLOWING HIM?

[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]

YES.

ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

NO, ALBERT,
I'M NOT GOING AWAY.

I'VE GOT
AN AUDITION TOMORROW,

AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

PLEASE, PLEASE, STEPHANIE,
JUST FOR A FEW DAYS,

UNTIL THIS MATTER
WITH SELBY IS SETTLED.

I PROMISE YOU,
WHEN IT IS OVER,

EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER.

YOU KEEP SAYING THAT.

I THINK YOU'RE JUST
USING ME, ALBERT.

NO, NO, NO, NO. THIS TIME
IT WILL BE BETTER.

IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

KELLERMAN HAS PROMISED ME
I WILL BE REWARDED.

THAT WILL MEAN A PROMOTION.

HE ALSO SAID
HE COULD ARRANGE

FOR THAT, UH,
APPOINTMENT YOU WANTED

WITH THE MINISTER
OF COMMUNICATIONS.

DID HE?

WHEN?

[ SIGHS ]

WHEN YOU GET BACK,
OF COURSE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, ALBERT.

FORGIVE ME FOR BEING
SO ANGRY WITH YOU.

BUT IT'S JUST THAT --

OH, I CAN'T BEAR
TO BE AWAY FROM YOU

FOR EVEN A FEW DAYS.

I KNOW.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I HAVE TO PACK

IF YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE
THIS AFTERNOON, HMM?

YES, OF COURSE.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ CAR APPROACHES ]

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

[ SHUTTER CLICKS ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

O.G.U. YOU ARE WANTED
FOR INTERROGATION.

THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE.

I'M A FRIEND
OF ALBERT BROCKE'S.

WE KNOW THAT.

PLEASE GET YOUR COAT
AND COME WITH ME.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY!

OH! OH, MY LEG.

IS IT BROKEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

LET ME TRY TO WALK ON IT.

LET ME GET YOU
TO A DOCTOR.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

IT WAS NO ACCIDENT.

IT WAS A MEETING.

YOU SEE?

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

BICYCLE IDENTIFICATION TAG.

IT WAS PURCHASED
THIS MORNING.

HERE IS A DUPLICATE COPY
OF THE RECEIPT.

IT WAS BOUGHT
BY A MISS HELGA MAJEK.

WE CHECKED.
THERE IS NO SUCH PERSON.

MM.

ALSO...

SHORTLY BEFORE
THE ACCIDENT,

STEPHANIE WENT OFF
WITH THIS MAN.

IT SEEMS THAT SELBY HAS
CONTACTED THE AMERICANS

AND THAT THEY
HAVE TAKEN THE BAIT, HMM?

YES. THE PLAN
IS WORKING PERFECTLY.

THEY WILL BE PUTTING
THE SQUEEZE ON BROCKE NEXT.

HOW'S STEPHANIE?

SLEEPING.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

TWO HOURS.

YOU CAN
BRING HER AROUND THEN.

YES, SIR.

SHE'S LEAVING A PARCEL.

YES, SIR.

WE FOUND NOTHING.

NOTHING.

DID YOU CHECK
THE DECORATION?

NO, SIR.

IT IS MAGNETIC TAPE.

HAVE A REPRODUCTION MADE
IMMEDIATELY,

THEN PUT THE BOX
BACK TOGETHER.

I WANT A MAN PUT ON
WHOEVER PICKS THIS UP.

YES, SIR.

NO ARREST
UNTIL I ORDER IT.

YES, SIR.

[ SIGHS ]

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

Kellerman: WE HAVE FOUND
THAT THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

IS DIRK MOSS.

SUPPOSEDLY,
A CANADIAN BUSINESSMAN,

BUT I BELIEVE HE'S
THE BIG ONE WE'RE AFTER.

WHAT MAKES YOU
THINK SO?

THIS DECORATION
ON THE PARCEL HE PICKED UP --

MAGNETIC TAPE.

I'VE HAD
A REPRODUCTION MADE.

LISTEN.

Cinnamon: ACTING UPON
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS,

WE HAVE PICKED UP
THE GIRL AND BROCKE.

AT FIRST, BROCKE WAS RELUCTANT
TO COOPERATE,

BUT FINALLY AGREED TO.

HE HAS GOTTEN US THE BLUEPRINTS
OF THE STATE SECURITY BUILDING

SHOWING THE LOCATION
OF MARCEAU'S CELL

AND ACCESS TO IT.

WE WILL AWAIT
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

JUST AS YOU PREDICTED.

THE BLUEPRINTS ARE TOTALLY
INACCURATE, OF COURSE.

WHEN THEY FOLLOW THEM,
THEY WALK RIGHT INTO A TRAP.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT.

THE DRUG'S WEARING OFF.

I WOULD STRIKE DIRECTLY
AT BROCKE.

HE'S VULNERABLE.

Jim: YES, NOW THAT
WE HAVE THE GIRL,

WE CAN FORCE HIM
TO DO ANYTHING.

BUT WE STILL
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

IF BROCKE
EVER SUSPECTED ANYTHING,

HE COULD STILL WARN SELBY.

Kellerman:
IF IT CAME TO THAT,

WE COULD TAKE HIM OUT.

HE IS, AFTER ALL,
AN EXPENDABLE PAWN.

ALL RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T
GET SELBY THIS TIME,

YOU'RE FINISHED.

I THOUGHT
I HEARD SOMETHING.

YOU BETTER GO.
I'LL CHECK ON THE GIRL.

[ TICKING ]

Brocke: AND HOW IS THE
INTERROGATION COMING ALONG?

VERY WELL. I THINK MARCEAU
WILL CRACK COMPLETELY

AT THE NEXT SESSION.

THAT IS WHY I CALLED.

I WANT YOU
TO PLANT THE BLUEPRINTS

IN SELBY'S OFFICE
THIS AFTERNOON.

VERY GOOD.

[ DRAWER OPENS, CLOSES ]

[ RINGS ]

LIEUTENANT BROCKE SPEAKING.

ALBERT,
IT'S ME, STEPHANIE.

UH...I, UH,
I'M VERY BUSY NOW.

I WILL HAVE TO
CALL YOU BACK LATER.

OH, DON'T HANG UP.

OH, ALBERT,
I'M SO FRIGHTENED.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME.
I JUST ESCAPED.

I WAS KIDNAPPED.

I SEE.

DID YOU KNOW ANY OF THEM,
MR. VOEGEL?

IS THERE SOMEONE THERE
WITH YOU?

Yes.

KELLERMAN?

Correct.

WELL, HE WAS ONE OF THEM.

WHAT?

I, I DIDN'T KNOW THE OTHERS,
BUT KELLERMAN WAS THERE.

I SAW HIM.

HE WAS TALKING TO
A TALL MAN, AN AMERICAN.

ARE YOU POSITIVE,
MR. VOEGEL?

YES!

UH...UH...WHAT WAS SAID?

[ SIGHS ]

I ONLY CAUGHT A LITTLE
OF IT.

IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT
YOUR WARNING SELBY.

AND THEN KELLERMAN SAID
THAT YOU WERE ONLY A PAWN,

THAT YOU WERE VULNERABLE
AND EXPENDABLE.

I SEE.

HE SAID THAT
NOW THAT THEY HAD ME,

THEY COULD GET YOU
TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED.

WHAT'S GOING ON, ALBERT?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

NOTHING.

I WILL MEET YOU IN AN HOUR,
THE USUAL PLACE.

ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE WAITING.

[ Dial tone ]

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

ANYTHING THE MATTER?

NO. NO. NOTHING IMPORTANT.

GOOD.

DON'T FORGET WHAT I TOLD YOU
ABOUT THE BLUEPRINTS.

NO, NO. I WON'T.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

BUT NOW KELLERMAN
WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR.

LISTEN TO ME, SELBY.

I HAVE SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU.

GO AHEAD.

I HAVE FOUND OUT

THAT KELLERMAN
IS THE REAL DOUBLE AGENT.

HE INTENDS TO DESTROY US BOTH
TO PROTECT HIS COVER.

OH? HOW DID YOU FIND
ALL THIS OUT?

FROM STEPHANIE.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

DO?

NOTHING.

BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T TRUST YOU, BROCKE.

FIRST, YOU SELL ME OUT --

NOW SUPPOSEDLY
YOU'RE SELLING KELLERMAN OUT.

HOW DO I KNOW
THIS ISN'T ANOTHER ONE
OF KELLERMAN'S TRAPS?

BUT IT'S THE TRUTH.

STEPHANIE WILL SWEAR TO IT.
SHE WILL TESTIFY.

WOULD SHE?

YES, YES,
OF COURSE SHE WOULD.

YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.

OH, YOU'VE LIED SO MUCH.

YOU'RE LIKE THE LITTLE BOY
WHO CRIED WOLF.

I COULD NEVER RUN THE RISK
OF BELIEVING YOU.

NO, LISTEN!
HE GAVE ME THESE BLUEPRINTS

OF THE STATE
SECURITY BUILDING!

THEY INCLUDE THE PRECISE
LOCATION OF MARCEAU'S CELL!

I WAS SUPPOSED TO PLANT THEM
HERE IN YOUR OFFICE!

ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE
YOU'VE PLANTED?

YOU MUST LISTEN!
HE'S GOING TO DESTROY YOU!

I'M SURE HE WILL,
WITH YOUR HELP.

CAN'T YOU SEE? I'M IN THIS
AS DEEP AS YOU ARE NOW!

HE'S GOING TO
HAVE TO KILL ME

SO THERE WON'T BE ANY LEAKS!

THEN MY ADVICE IS FOR YOU
TO TAKE YOUR LITTLE STEPHANIE

AND TRY TO OUTRUN
HIS BULLETS.

NOW GET OUT.

THE BLUEPRINTS
BROCKE GAVE THE AMERICAN

SHOW THAT MARCEAU
IS BEING HELD DOWN THERE.

THAT IS WHERE
I WILL SPRING THE TRAP.

ACTUALLY, MARCEAU
IS A BIT HARDER TO FIND.

HE'S IN, UH,
A SPECIAL SECURITY SECTION

I DESIGNED MYSELF.

[ BUZZING ]

AHHHHH.

[ DOOR BUZZES ]

DOCTOR.

BUT I HAVE BEEN USING
SODIUM DIANOSINE.

I PREFER THIOPENTAL.

Jim: MARCEAU SHOULD HAVE
GOTTEN THE DRUG BY NOW.

JIM, HOW LONG DO WE HAVE
UNTIL IT WEARS OFF?

IT WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT
KELLERMAN'S DRUG

FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM
OUT OF THE BUILDING

BY THAT TIME.

AGAIN,

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF AN AGENT

BY THE NAME OF DIRK MOSS?

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S USELESS.

[ SIGHS ]

TELL ME,

WHY DO YOU HAVE HIM
CHAINED LIKE THAT?

Kellerman:
AN ADDED PRECAUTION.

THE CHAIN COMPLETES
AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

TO A DETONATOR.

IF BY ANY CHANCE
THE AMERICANS GOT IN

AND TRIED TO FREE MARCEAU,

THEY WOULD FIND HIM
A HUMAN BOOBY TRAP.

ANY ATTEMPT TO SAW, BURN,
OR TAMPER WITH THE CHAIN

AUTOMATICALLY SETS OFF
AN ANTIPERSONNEL MINE.

MARCEAU GOES,

AND ANYBODY ELSE IN THE CELL
WITH HIM GOES.

[ RINGING ]

HOTEL WILHELM.

YES, THIS IS ERIC KOMI.
I HAD CALLED EARLIER.

I HAD GIVEN ORDERS

THAT I'LL BE DINING
IN MY ROOM TONIGHT.

YES, WE HAVE THAT ORDER,
SIR.

I would like to change it.

Instead of the salmon,

I would like Chateaubriand
with Bordelaise sauce

FOR TWO.

Yes, sir, certainly.

[ Dial tone ]

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

THEY'RE HOLDING MARCEAU
IN THE BASEMENT AREA,

AND KELLERMAN'S GOT HIM
BOOBY-TRAPPED.

YOU WERE RIGHT, JIM.

GET THE LIQUID
NITROGEN READY, BARNEY.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

WELL, MARCEAU BREAK?

NO. STRANGE.

HE'S MORE RESISTANT
THAN EVER.

STRANGER THAN THAT IS
A REPORT I'VE JUST RECEIVED.

BROCKE IS RUNNING
FOR THE BORDER.

THE GIRL IS WITH HIM.

HE MUST HAVE FOUND OUT
SOMEHOW.

MAYBE. WE WILL KNOW
SOON ENOUGH.

I'VE GIVEN ORDERS
TO HAVE THEM PICKED UP.

THEY WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.

[ RINGS ]

COLONEL KELLERMAN.
YES?

THEY ARE LEAVING.

VERY GOOD.

THEY ARE COMING.

PUT THE BUILDING
ON STAGE 2 ALERT.

Kellerman: BUT WHY?

WHY DID YOU DO IT, BROCKE?
WHY DID YOU RUN?

QUITE SIMPLE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET KILLED.

BY WHO?

BY HIM!

BUT YOU ARE IN
NO DANGER.

YOU SET ME UP.

YOU COULDN'T AFFORD
TO LET ME LIVE.

HE IS A DOUBLE AGENT
AND A TRAITOR.

I WOULD NOT CALL OTHER
PEOPLE TRAITORS, BROCKE.

YOU ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

LYING
WILL NOT HELP YOU NOW.

I AM NOT LYING!

HE'S A DOUBLE AGENT,

BUT HE VERY CLEVERLY

LED EVERYONE TO BELIEVE
IT WAS SELBY.

HE USED US ALL AS PAWNS

IN ORDER TO HELP TRY
AND DESTROY SELBY.

I DO NOT KNOW
WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH

BY ALL THESE LIES!

I CAN PROVE
IT IS THE TRUTH!

TELL THEM WHAT YOU SAW,
WHAT YOU HEARD.

JUST A MOMENT.

BEFORE YOU IMPLICATE
THIS YOUNG LADY,

PERHAPS SHE CAN TELL US WHY

SHE HAD A FORGED PASSPORT
AND THIS CURRENCY

SEWED INTO THE LINING
OF HER COAT.

I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE.

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN PLANTED.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

I DIDN'T, I SWEAR.

PERHAPS.

BUT I'M SURE MANY INNOCENT
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXECUTED

BECAUSE THEY LET
THEIR EMOTIONS

RUN AWAY WITH THEIR REASON.

TELL HIM. DON'T LET HIM
FRIGHTEN YOU.

I'M NOT
FRIGHTENING HER.

IF YOU TELL ME THE TRUTH,
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

IF YOU ARE LYING...

THEN YOU HAVE
A GREAT DEAL TO FEAR.

ALL RIGHT, STEPHANIE.
DON'T BE FRIGHTENED.

TELL US.

I-I-I...

PLEASE, STEPHANIE,
TELL THEM.

SHH!

GO ON. TELL US.

ALBERT IS THE TRAITOR.

HE WANTED ME TO LIE
IF WE GOT CAUGHT.

AND HE FORCED YOU
TO FLEE WITH HIM?

YES.

YES!

THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

YOU HAVE DONE YOUR DUTY.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT
IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR YOU,

BEING SO FOND OF ALBERT.

MAY I GO NOW?

YES, YES.

BUT FIRST,
YOU MUST SIGN A CONFESSION,

WHICH I WILL DRAW UP.

COME.

TAKE HER
TO THE DETENTION ROOM, PLEASE.

HOLD HIM HERE.

WE'LL CONTINUE THE INTERROGATION
WHEN I RETURN.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

I MADE A MISTAKE
WITH YOU, ALBERT.

WELL...

MISTAKES CAN BE ERASED.

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

[ CAR DOORS OPEN, CLOSE ]

HE SHOULD BE COMING AROUND
IN A MINUTE.

HOW LONG?

IT'LL NEED THREE MINUTES
TO FREEZE DOWN

TO MINUS 209 DEGREES.

THAT'LL GIVE US
FIVE MINUTES

UNTIL THE GUARDS WAKE UP.

LET'S GET KELLERMAN.

Cinnamon: HOLD STILL.

DON'T MOVE.

WHO ARE YOU?

FRIENDS.

ANY TAMPERING WITH THAT BOMB
AND IT WILL DETONATE.

Barney: DON'T WORRY.

THIS IS LIQUID NITROGEN.

CLOSE TO ABSOLUTE ZERO.

THE MOVING PARTS
IN A TRIGGERING MECHANISM

WILL FREEZE SOLID.

THIS IS FOR BROCKE.

GET READY.

NOW THE DETONATOR.

LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT,
GIVE US ABOUT 30 SECONDS

BEFORE YOU START
TO BRING BROCKE AROUND.

WHAT HAPPENED?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

NERVE GAS.

SOMEONE...

WHERE'S KELLERMAN?

I SAW HIM LEAVING
JUST BEFORE I BLACKED OUT.

WHERE'S MARCEAU?!

[ SIGHS ]

THE AMERICANS
HAVE GOT MARCEAU...

AND HE ARRANGED IT.

YES, I WAS WRONG.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

NOW WE MUST ACCEPT
THE CONSEQUENCES.

NO, NO, NO.

THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE.

WHAT?

KELLERMAN IS,
AFTER ALL, A TRAITOR.

YOU SETTLE THE SCORE
WITH KELLERMAN.

I WILL GO AND REINSTATE YOU
WITH SELBY.

SELBY WILL NEVER
TAKE ME BACK NOW.

YES, HE WILL.

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU
HE WILL NEVER MENTION IT.

YOU, IN TURN, MUST NEVER
MENTION THIS AFFAIR.

CORRECT, ALBERT?

OF COURSE, ERIC.

BROCKE!

MARCEAU HAS ESCAPED!

WAIT!
