Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 3, Episode 4 - The Mercenaries - full transcript
A mercenary army in Central Africa led by Krim is destabilizing the region, and stockpiling stolen gold. Phelps and the IMF capitalize on Krim's greed, and manipulate him into arranging the theft of his own gold bullion stored in a seemingly impenetrable vault.
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
Man: GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. PHELPS.
YOU'RE LOOKING
AT COLONEL HANS KRIM,
THE LEADER OF A MERCENARY ARMY
CURRENTLY RAVAGING
EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
OSTENSIBLY, KRIM FIGHTS FOR
THE CAUSE OF EMERGING NATIONS.
BUT IN REALITY, HE IS NOTHING
BUT A MILITARY GANGSTER
WHO PLUNDERS
ALLY AND ENEMY ALIKE.
KRIM AND HIS MERCENARIES
HAVE CONVERTED THEIR LOOT
INTO GOLD BARS,
WHICH ARE KEPT WITHIN THE
ENCLAVE USED AS HEADQUARTERS.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO DESTROY KRIM
AND RETURN THE GOLD.
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.
A LITTLE MISDIRECTION,
IT'LL WORK.
TWO BLANKS, ROLLIN.
THE THIRD SHOT,
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
THIS IS THE ENCLAVE.
IT'S COMPLETELY SURROUNDED
BY MOUNTAINS.
THIS IS A ROAD.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY IN
OR OUT.
WHAT ABOUT THE LAKE?
IT'S HARDLY MORE
THAN A POND, REALLY.
IT JUST TRICKLES AWAY
TO NOTHING.
WHAT ABOUT THE TUNNEL?
THE TUNNEL'S AN OLD ESCAPE ROUTE
OUT OF THE COMPOUND
RUNS A FEW HUNDRED YARDS
INTO THE JUNGLE.
THERE'S BEEN SOME SETTLING,
BUT IT IS PASSABLE.
ROLLIN, HOW LONG DO YOU
THINK YOU CAN HOLD OUT?
ABOUT SIX HOURS
AT THE MOST.
WILL THIS UNIT OF YOURS
GET THE JOB DONE
IN THAT TIME, BARNEY?
WE'LL MAKE IT, JIM.
RIGHT.
JIM, KRIM KNOWS
ABOUT THE MISSING GOLD.
GOLD IS HIS BUSINESS.
ALREADY HAS OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS OF IT IN HIS VAULT.
YOU CAN BE SURE
THAT HE KNOWS.
IT'S BEEN AN OPEN SECRET
IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD
FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS.
THIS IS THE AD YOU'LL
BE ANSWERING, ROLLIN.
RUNS EVERY DAY
IN THE TANGIERS PAPER.
THIS IS HOW THEY GET
THE RECRUITS, HUH?
RIGHT.
RECRUITS LIKE YOU.
[ BLEATING ]
INSUBORDINATION.
THIEF...RAPIST...

THAT'S A LIE.
LIEUTENANT ALEX MORELAND,
20th COLONIAL,
DESERTED
SEPTEMBER 18, 1959,
RELEASED
TO LUMM PENITENTIARY
JUNE OF THIS YEAR.
ALL OF YOU,
I EXPOSE YOUR SECRETS
SO THAT YOU WILL ALL KNOW
THEY MEAN NOTHING HERE.
ONLY THE PRESENT
IS IMPORTANT, AND THE FUTURE.
OBEY ORDERS,
AND YOU WILL ALL
LEAVE AFRICA RICH MEN.
I GUARANTEE IT.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
SORRY, ROAD'S CLOSED
BEYOND THIS POINT.
WE'RE MISSIONARIES.
WE DON'T MEAN ANY HARM.
NO ONE GOES THROUGH
THIS CHECKPOINT.
THOSE ARE MY ORDERS.
WE'RE HERE
TO TREAT THE SICK
AND BRING COMFORT
TO THE DYING.
SURELY YOU CAN'T OBJECT
TO THAT.
AND WE HAVE BIBLES
FOR THE MEN, AS WELL.
NOTHING. JUST BIBLES.
LET THEM THROUGH.
THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR MEN
BEFORE YOU
FROM THE OLD
20th COLONIALS.
OH?
THEY ALL SEEMED...
PREOCCUPIED...
AS IF THEY WERE SEARCHING
FOR SOMETHING.
REALLY, COLONEL?
SOMETHING, UM, VALUABLE,
I ALWAYS IMAGINED.
TELL ME, LIEUTENANT,
DID THE 20th LEAVE
SOMETHING VALUABLE HERE?
ONLY OUR HONOR,
COLONEL.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
I'VE HEARD REPORTS
THAT, UH, 20th
WAS FORCED TO LEAVE BEHIND
A GREAT DEAL
OF GOLD BULLION, YES?
NO?
NO, COLONEL.
THE ONE THING WE DIDN'T
LEAVE BEHIND WAS GOLD.
GOOD DAY.
[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]
[ BRAKES SQUEALING ]
WASTING YOUR TIME HERE,
REVEREND.
GET COLONEL KRIM.
'67 SCODA.
HOW MUCH?
$60.
TOO MUCH.
NOT WITH THE RISKS
I'M TAKING.
I LIKE THE SETUP.
IT'S INGENIOUS.
AND I LIKE THE PRODUCT.
HOW MANY CAN YOU DELIVER,
AND HOW FAST?
DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU
CAN PAY AND HOW FAST.
DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE PAYMENT.
I WORRY ABOUT THE PAYMENT,
AND I'D WORRY A LOT LESS
IF I SAW THE COLOR
OF YOUR MONEY.
HERE IT IS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
AT EASE, MEN.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
NOTHING YET.
SATISFIED?
I GET PAID IN ADVANCE.
ON DELIVERY.
NO DEAL.
GET OUT, REVEREND.
THAT THE WAY
YOU WANT IT, COLONEL?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
GUNRUNNER.
THIS ISN'T
THE COLONEL'S GOLD.
IT BELONGS TO
EVERY MAN IN THIS COMMAND.
AND IF HE MAKES A BAD DEAL,
HE HAS TO ANSWER FOR IT.
AM I DEALING WITH HIM
OR WITH YOU?
GRUNER, I'LL HANDLE IT.
NATIVE GOVERNMENTS ARE
GETTING STRONGER, KRIM.
YOU NEED
WHAT I'M SELLING.
TEN PERCENT DOWN.
FIFTEEN OR NO DEAL.
IT'S A DEAL.
[ BEEPING ]
I'VE GOT IT.
10 MORTARS,
SIX LIGHT MACHINE GUNS,
SIX CASES
OF AUTOMATIC RIFLES.
SIX CASES.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
COME IN.
WHAT DID YOU CHANGE FOR?
WE'RE LEAVING
IN A LITTLE WHILE.
OH, DO WE HAVE
TO DRIVE BACK TONIGHT?
YOU'RE WELCOME
TO SPEND THE NIGHT HERE.
THANK YOU, COLONEL.

THE MAN WAS FOLLOWING ME.
THAT'S WHY I HIT HIM.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT
ANYWAY?
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
IT'S A GOOD-LUCK CHARM.
I'VE CARRIED IT FOR YEARS.
AAH!
YOU FOUND THE GOLD
THE 20th BRIGADE
LEFT BEHIND.
NOW, WHERE IS IT?
[ SIGHS ]
HANG HIM UP.
IF MY MEN KNEW
YOU'D FOUND THIS GOLD
AND DIDN'T SHARE IT
WITH THEM,
THEY'D TEAR YOU APART.
TELL ME WHERE IT IS.
I'LL HELP YOU
GET IT OUT OF THE ENCLAVE.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WELL, WHEN HE STARTS TALKING,
LET ME KNOW.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING --
I LIKE THE FIGHTING.
AND THE KILLING.
AND ANY PROFESSIONAL
SOLDIER
WHO TELLS YOU DIFFERENT
IS A LIAR.
WE'RE ALL BUTCHERS
BECAUSE THE KILLING
MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER.
FOOD TASTES...
BOOZE HITS...
AND EVEN A WOMAN...
NOW I'M MAKING IT PAY.
I'VE SOLDIERED
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AND THIS IS THE BEST
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE
A RICH MAN --
A VERY RICH MAN.
I ADMIRE YOUR FRANKNESS,
COLONEL.
IT'S...REFRESHING.
YOU...MY DEAR...
ARE REFRESHING.
COME ON, KATHERINE,
WE'RE GOING TO BED.
OH, JIM, I WAS JUST BEGINNING
TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
I KNOW WHAT YOU
WERE TRYING TO DO.
COME ON.
[ SIGHS ]
SORRY, KRIM, SHE'S
NOT PART OF THE DEAL.
WE'D BETTER GET OUT OF HERE
IN AN HOUR AND A HALF
OR ROLLIN'S HAD IT.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
CAN I COME IN,
COLONEL?
OF COURSE.
JIM...
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON
WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU.
PLEASE, JIM, IF YOU SHOOT
HIM, THEY'LL KILL YOU.
AND IT WILL BE
FOR NOTHING.
GET UP!
COME ON.
[ LAUGHING ]
[ PANTING ]
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]
CUT ME DOWN.
YOU READY TO TALK?
YES. YES.
JUST CUT ME DOWN.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
[ GASPING ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING
TO TELL US, LIEUTENANT?
THERE IS...
THERE IS SOME GOLD.
WHERE?
WILL YOU SHARE IT WITH ME?
OF COURSE.
WHERE IS IT?
YOU'LL KILL ME IF I TELL YOU.
YOU WANT
SOME MORE OF THIS?
NO. NO.
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE.
LET'S GO.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
IT'S IN THERE.
SEE?
THERE'S ENOUGH
FOR ALL OF US.
YES.
YES, THERE IS.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS GET IT OUT
OF THE ENCLAVE.
UNH!
THERE MUST BE A TON.
MORE.
WE'LL NEED HELP
TO GET IT BACK TO THE VAULT.
COLONEL, THIS DOESN'T GO
TO THE VAULT.
COLONEL?
I MADE THIS ARMY RICH,
AND I'LL MAKE IT RICHER.
BUT THIS IS MINE.
AND YOURS.
YOU LIKE THAT?
WHAT IF THE MEN FIND OUT?
THEY WON'T.
THIS WILL BE
ON ITS WAY TO TANGIERS
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
AND NO ONE THE WISER.
HOW CAN WE GET IT PAST
THE ROADBLOCK SENTRY?
YOU'LL SEE.
I FIGURE YOU CAN GET IT
OUT OF THE ENCLAVE.
IF YOU CLEAR MY TRUCK
PAST THE CHECKPOINT,
I CAN GET IT
ALL THE WAY TO TANGIERS.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
$25,000.
YOU GOT TO BE
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
FIFTY.
FOR THE RISKS
I'LL BE TAKING?
NO CHANCE.
$50,000.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
IT'S A GOOD DEAL.
ALL RIGHT, YOU HIRED
YOURSELF A TRUCK.
THAT'S ALL OF IT,
COLONEL.
BETTER MAKE SURE.
A PRECAUTION.
LET'S GO.
SHE STAYS.
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU DIDN'T THINK
I'D JUST TRUST YOU?
WHEN YOU GET BACK
FROM TANGIERS
WITH THE DEPOSIT RECEIPTS,
SHE CAN LEAVE.
BUT IF ANYTHING
GOES WRONG...
GOOD MORNING, MAJOR.
GOOD MORNING, MA'AM.
[ RINGS ]
STOHLMAN.
A TRUCK WILL BE ARRIVING
SHORTLY.
Pass it through at once.
DON'T WASTE TIME
SEARCHING IT.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID,
STOHLMAN -- NO SEARCH.
VERY GOOD, COLONEL.
HOW MUCH OF AN ADVANCE
DID YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM?
NONE.
HE DECIDED TO TRUST US.
MRS. WILSON WILL BE
STAYING WITH US
TILL HER HUSBAND
GETS BACK.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ RINGS ]
MAJOR GRUNER.
GRUNER,
THIS IS COLONEL KRIM.
I FORGOT TO MENTION,
VERTE AND WOLSK WANT OUT.
I GAVE MY APPROVAL.
Draw up the papers
immediately.
They want to be
out of camp by tonight.
BUT, COLONEL --
THAT'S ALL, MAJOR.
I DON'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
Stohlman: Sorry, road's
closed beyond this point.
[ Mimicking ] SORRY, ROAD'S
CLOSED BEYOND THIS POINT.
Phelps: We're missionaries.
We don't mean any harm.
No one gets past this point.
Those are my orders.
NO ONE GOES PAST
THIS CHECKPOINT.
THOSE ARE MY ORDERS.
[ SIGHS ]
[ RINGS ]
MAJOR GRUNER HERE.
YES, STOHLMAN.
THE MISSIONARY TRUCK --
THE REAR SPRINGS WERE FLAT
AS IF IT CARRIED A HEAVY
LOAD, SO WE SEARCHED IT.
WE FOUND A FALSE BOTTOM
FILLED WITH GOLD.
HOLD THAT TRUCK,
STOHLMAN!
WHAT IS THIS?
AN EMERGENCY,
COLONEL.
CONTRARY TO YOUR ORDERS,
STOHLMAN SEARCHED
THE MISSIONARY TRUCK.
HE FOUND IT
FILLED WITH GOLD.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
THAT'S A FACT,
COLONEL.
HOW DID YOUR HUSBAND
COME BY SO MUCH GOLD?
DON'T ASK ME.
HOW WOULD I KNOW?
YOU HAD BETTER KNOW.
THAT WOULD BE FAR
TOO CONVENIENT, COLONEL.
GRUNER, I'LL HANG YOU
FOR THIS.
WE'RE WAITING,
MRS. WILSON.
LOOK,
I'M NOT MRS. WILSON.
I'M A, UH, BUSINESS
FRIEND OF JIM'S.
I COME ALONG TO KEEP
THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY.
WHAT ABOUT THE GOLD?
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT ANY GOLD.
I DO KNOW THAT
YOUR COLONEL AND JIM
WERE OFF SOMEWHERE
MOST OF THE NIGHT.
TO THE VAULT PERHAPS,
COLONEL?
SHE'S LYING.
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE VAULT.
I'LL SHOW YOU
THE GOLD'S STILL THERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU LIED,
BUT I'LL HAVE YOUR HEART
FOR THIS.
[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]
I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
LAST TIME I WAS HERE,
YOU WERE WITH ME.
WOLSK, VERTE, TELL HIM!
THEY'RE IN THIS WITH YOU.
THAT'S WHY YOU HAD THEIR
DISCHARGE PAPERS DRAWN.
THERE ISN'T A SCRATCH
ON THAT SAFE.
IT WASN'T BROKEN INTO.
AND ONLY YOU HAVE
THE COMBINATION, KRIM.
AAH!
MAJOR GRUNER
WANTS HER IN THE VAULT.
