[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS KING SELIM III OF KAMADAN,
A GOOD FRIEND OF THE WEST.
UNKNOWN TO THE WORLD,
THE KING HAS BEEN
IN PRISON SOMEWHERE
FOR OVER SIX MONTHS
BY HIS YOUNGER BROTHER
PRINCE SAMANDAL.
WITH THE KING IN HIS POWER,
SAMANDAL NOW CONTROLS
THE HUGE OIL ROYALTIES
WHICH ARE KAMADAN'S
MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE.
TO SUPPRESS THOSE OPPOSING HIM,
THE PRINCE RESORTS
TO INHUMAN TORTURE AND MURDER,
CARRIED OUT BY THIS MAN --
COLONEL HATTAFIS,
WHO HEADS ONE
OF THE MOST BRUTAL
AND FEARED POLICE FORCES
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO RESCUE KING SELIM
AND RESTORE HIM TO HIS THRONE.
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.
OUR BOTTLE, OF COURSE,
WILL BE GENUINE,
THE LIQUID COLORLESS,
AND THE DRUG ITSELF
WILL BE HARMLESS.
IS THE PRINCE'S HEALTH
REALLY BAD, JIM?
NO, NOT REALLY, LISA.
HE'S SELF-INDULGENT,
HE DOESN'T EXERCISE,
BUT MOST OF IT'S
PURE HYPOCHONDRIA.
NOW, THE KING
HAS THREE SONS.
THEY'RE ALL IN EUROPE
IN SCHOOL,
SO SIMPLY ELIMINATING THE KING
DOESN'T GUARANTEE
SAMANDAL THE THRONE.
BUT WITH DR. LABASHI'S
HYPNOTIC CONTROL,
SAMANDAL COULD EVENTUALLY
RULE THROUGH THE KING.
EXACTLY.
WHAT ABOUT THE SHEIKHS?
THEY'RE LOYAL TO THE KING,
BUT SAMANDAL HAS TOLD THEM
THAT THE KING
IS IN RELIGIOUS RETREAT.
WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING
WHERE THEY'RE HOLDING HIM,
SO WE'LL HAVE TO FORCE THEM
INTO PRODUCING HIM FOR US.
Man: MAY WE ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS, SIR?
Paris: OF COURSE.
MR. DEMETRIUS,
IS IT TRUE YOU ARE HERE
TO DISCUSS A NEW OIL DEAL
WITH THE KING?
I HAVE COME AS A TOURIST
TO ENJOY THE WELL-KNOWN
DELIGHTS OF KAMADAN.
WILL YOU BE SEEING
THE KING?
IT WOULD BE IMPOLITE NOT TO PAY
MY RESPECTS TO HIS MAJESTY.
HE WILL BE LEAVING
THE RETREAT TO MEET YOU?
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE HIS MAJESTY
WILL GIVE ME AUDIENCE.
NOW, GENTLEMEN,
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
WILL YOU BE DISCUSSING
ANY BUSINESS WITH HIM?
I CANNOT FORECAST WHAT WILL
BE SAID ON FUTURE OCCASIONS.
THE SHEIKHS ARE BECOMING
MORE SUSPICIOUS EVERY DAY.
THEY HAVE GATHERED IN THE CITY
AND ARE DEMANDING
TO SEE THE KING.
BUT IT WOULD BE UNWISE
TO EXPOSE HIM IN PUBLIC
BEFORE THE CONTROL IS COMPLETE.
YOU SAID THAT A MONTH AGO,
DR. LABASHI.
BHERAM, I AM FREEZING!
THE SHEIKHS WILL NOT ACCEPT
THE RELIGIOUS-RETREAT STORY
MUCH LONGER.
THIS TECHNIQUE IS SOMETHING
QUITE NEW --
A FORM OF HYPNOSIS
BY SUBLIMINAL INDUCTION.
I WILL ANNOUNCE THAT THE KING
IS COMING BACK
AND WILL ATTEND CABINET
FOUR WEEKS FROM TODAY.
STOP FUSSING SO! GO!
MAY I SEE YOU
FOR A FEW MOMENTS, SIR?
I AM HERE, COLONEL HATAFIS.
WHAT IS IT?
I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU ALONE.
TAKIS DEMETRIUS
IS IN THE CITY.
WHAT IS THAT TO ME?
I THOUGHT PERHAPS
HE WAS MEETING YOU.
SUCH A MAN
ALWAYS HAS A PURPOSE.
IS THIS HIS WIFE?
NO. HER NAME
IS IRINA BENTLEY.
SHE'S JUST
A CASUAL COMPANION.
HE NEVER TRAVELS
WITHOUT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
THERE ARE RUMORS
HE HAS COME TO DISCUSS
AN OIL DEAL WITH THE KING.
WELL, THEN HE WILL BE
DISAPPOINTED, WON'T HE?
YES?
MR. TAKIS DEMETRIUS
IS HERE, SIR.
WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT?
THE APPOINTMENT WAS EVIDENTLY
MADE MONTHS AGO.
HE HAS A LETTER
FROM HIS MAJESTY
CONFIRMING THIS DATE.
TELL HIM HIS MAJESTY
IS NOT HERE.
SEND HIM AWAY.
DO NOT MAKE MY DECISIONS
FOR ME, COLONEL.
SEND HIM UP.
AT LEAST I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HE IS GOING TO OFFER.
AH, COGNAC DU FRANé.
A SMALL GIFT.
I AM TOLD
THESE ARE AMONG
THE LAST BOTTLES
IN EXISTENCE.
THE MATTER
I AM HERE TO DISCUSS
IS EXTREMELY URGENT.
THE KING IS OUT OF THE CITY.
HE HAS AUTHORIZED ME
TO NEGOTIATE ON HIS BEHALF.
WELL?
I HEARD NOTHING.
THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON
WHY A MAN LIKE DEMETRIUS
WOULD COME TO KAMADAN.
OIL?
BUT THERE IS ALREADY
AN AGREEMENT
WITH ANGLO-KAMADAN.
SAMANDAL DOES NOT SIGN
THE RENEWAL CONTRACT
UNTIL NEXT WEEK...
AND FOR ASSISTING
IN THE NEGOTIATIONS,
I AM TO RECEIVE
100,000 AMERICAN DOLLARS.
THEN IF SAMANDAL
MAKES A NEW CONTRACT
WITH DEMETRIUS...
I GET NOTHING.
WHAT INCENTIVE ARE YOU
PREPARED TO OFFER ME
OVER OUR OLD DEAL
WITH ANGLO-KAMADAN?
A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE.
HOW SUBSTANTIAL?
THEY HAVE ALREADY AGREED
TO AN INCREASE
OF 25 CENTS A BARREL.
12 1/2 CENTS, TO BE PRECISE.
WHAT DO YOU OFFER?
THE SAME.
HARDLY AN INCENTIVE
TO DISTURB
A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP.
YOUR DEAL
WITH ANGLO-KAMADAN
CALLS FOR PAYMENTS
TO CERTAIN...
OTHER PARTIES.
COLONEL HATTAFIS,
FOR ONE.
MY OFFER WOULD BE
DIRECT TO YOU.
WE ALSO OFFER CERTAIN...
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
BETTER NOT WRITTEN
INTO A FORMAL AGREEMENT.
IT WOULD GIVE ME
GREAT PLEASURE
TO ENTERTAIN YOU
AND THIS YOUNG LADY
AT DINNER THIS EVENING.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
HOWEVER, I AM SURE IRINA
WOULD PREFER TO DINE HERE
RATHER THAN
AT THE HOTEL ALONE.
I WOULD BE MOST HONORED
TO SEND A CAR FOR HER.
THANK YOU.
I SUGGEST AN INITIAL
FIVE-YEAR PERIOD,
WITH AN OPTION
FOR A SIMILAR PERIOD,
AT TERMS TO BE
MUTUALLY AGREED.
EXCELLENT.
I SHALL HAVE THE CONTRACTS
DRAWN IMMEDIATELY.
GET DR. LABASHI.
NO, WAIT.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
GET MY OWN MAN...
DR. SCHMIDT --
MY HOTEL SUITE.
BRING HIM HERE AT ONCE,
AND TAKE HIM
TO THE INFIRMARY.
HE NEEDS COMPLETE REST
AND QUIET.
I'LL ARRANGE TO HAVE HIM TAKEN
TO A HOSPITAL.
I WILL NOT HEAR OF IT.
HE WILL STAY HERE
IN THE PALACE INFIRMARY.
WE HAVE A LABORATORY HERE,
DOCTOR.
WOULD YOU CARE TO SEE IT?
YES, MAY I?
CERTAINLY.
THIS WAY, PLEASE.
MADAM, I AM PRINCE SAMANDAL.
BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN ILL,
MR. DEMETRIUS SAID
YOU MIGHT BE WILLING
TO HAVE DINNER
WITH ME THIS EVENING.
IF, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
YOU'D RATHER NOT, I --
I'D BE HONORED,
YOUR HIGHNESS.
HA HA HA HA.
IT IS REFRESHING
TO FIND A SENSE OF HUMOR
IN A WOMAN SO ATTRACTIVE
AND INTELLIGENT.
TAKIS SAYS INTELLIGENCE
IN A WOMAN IS A LIABILITY,
MAKES HER GO AFTER THINGS
SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE.
OH? THEN HE MUST
ALSO BELIEVE
THAT THEY ARE ONLY CAPABLE
OF COOKING...
AND BEARING BABIES.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
HE WAS MORE LIBERAL
WHERE WOMEN ARE CONCERNED.
IN SOME WAYS...
BUT HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO
AS THEY'RE TOLD.
AND DO YOU
DO AS YOU ARE TOLD?
WHEN IT PLEASES ME.
AH, BUT WHAT PLEASES YOU?
FINE CLOTHES,
JEWELRY, GIFTS?
IT PLEASES ME NOT
TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
EVEN WHEN SOMETHING
IS INEVITABLE, YOUR HIGHNESS,
I PREFER AT LEAST THE PRETENSE
OF HAVING A CHOICE.
I SEE.
EH, CRèME DE MENTHE,
BRANDY?
IS THAT COGNAC DU FRANé?
A GIFT FROM DEMETRIUS.
OH, HE NEVER SERVES THAT
TO HIS GUESTS.
APPARENTLY HE RESERVES
HIS MOST EXQUISITE GIFTS
FOR HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES.
A TIRESOME PRECAUTION
WISHED ON ME
BY MY ADVISORS.
WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK TO?
SOME TOASTS
ARE BETTER UNSPOKEN.
[ DOORS CLOSE ]
YOUR FRIEND DEMETRIUS
HAS SUPERB TASTE.
OH, ISN'T THAT LOVELY?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?
THERE'S ONE JUST LIKE IT
IN THE CAIRO MUSEUM.
A ROYAL HANDMAIDEN
TOOK HER VERY LAST DRINK --
IT SEEMS SHE WAS SEEING
TOO MUCH OF THE PHARAOH,
SO THE QUEEN
HAD HER EXECUTED.
IS THERE ANYTHING
IN LIFE WORTH DYING FOR?
SHE LOVED HIM.
UHH!
AAH!
WHAT IS IT?
HE'S EXHIBITING
ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF UREMIA.
USE PLAIN LANGUAGE.
KIDNEY DISEASE.
HAS HE SUFFERED
FROM THIS PREVIOUSLY?
NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
DID HE EAT ANYTHING
BEFORE THE ATTACK?
HE HAD DINNER WITH MADAM.
DID HE DRINK?
ONLY BRANDY.
DID YOU TASTE IT?
I HAD SOME, TOO.
IF THIS LADY PARTOOK
OF DRINK AND DINNER
AND SHOWED NO ILL EFFECTS,
THEY COULD NOT BE THE CAUSE.
THEN WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
I WOULD PREFER NOT
TO HAZARD A GUESS.
I AM NOT
A KIDNEY SPECIALIST.
THEN GET ONE.
SEND A PLANE.
I BELIEVE DR. MULHAUSER
IS A KIDNEY SPECIALIST.
DOCTOR WHO?
I MEANT DR. SCHMIDT.
YOU SAID MULHAUSER.
ERICH MULHAUSER?
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
HE IS THE LEADING AUTHORITY
ON UROLOGY.
THEN WHY IS HE MASQUERADING
UNDER A FALSE NAME?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
GET HIM HERE.
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]
DR. MULHAUSER?
YES?
HIS HIGHNESS HAS FALLEN ILL.
YOU ARE WANTED URGENTLY.
I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT IN GENERAL PRACTICE.
DR. LABASHI HAS DIAGNOSED
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
AT ANOTHER TIME,
WE CAN GO INTO YOUR REASONS
FOR MASQUERADING
UNDER A FALSE NAME.
THERE WAS NO
CRIMINAL INTENT.
THEN THERE IS NO REASON
FOR NOT TELLING ME.
MY WIFE THINKS THAT I'M AT
A MEDICAL CONVENTION
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
AND INSTEAD YOU ARE HERE
WITH AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOY
AND ONE OF HIS GIRLS,
HMM?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
YES. YOU WERE RIGHT,
DOCTOR.
THE SYMPTOMS INDICATE
SEVERE NEPHRITIC DEGENERATION.
SO...SUDDENLY.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND,
I WAS NEVER
IN GENERAL PRACTICE.
MY INTEREST IS IN
EXPERIMENTAL CHEMISTRY.
I KNOW, BUT IT'S
NO REFLECTION ON YOU
THAT YOU WEREN'T ABLE
TO DIAGNOSE EARLIER.
YES, WELL,
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
IMMEDIATE
KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.
LABASHI.
YOUR HIGHNESS,
THE PAIN YOU'RE FEELING
IS CAUSED BY WHAT WE CALL
NEPHRITIC DEGENERATION.
IN SIMPLE TERMS,
IT'S KIDNEY DAMAGE.
SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME YOUR KIDNEYS
MUST HAVE BEEN INJURED.
SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SIMPLY
NOT DOING THE JOB
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO,
AND YOUR SYSTEM
IS BEING POISONED.
THE CONDITION IS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE
WITHOUT THE PROPER TESTS.
YOU DIAGNOSED IT.
YES, AND RIGHT NOW
IT'S GONE SO FAR
THAT ANY EXPERT
COULD SEE IT.
HOW FAR?
IT WILL BE NECESSARY
TO REPLACE THE FUNCTIONS
OF THE DISEASED ORGANS
WITH A FRESH ONE.
TRANSPLANT?
I SHOULD POINT OUT
THAT FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS,
THE NEW ORGAN SHOULD COME
FROM A CLOSE RELATIVE.
LABASHI.
HIS HIGHNESS' BROTHER
WILL ACT AS DONOR.
THE KING?
SEND A CAR FOR HIM.
WHEN WILL YOU OPERATE?
UH, WE CAN, UH,
DISCUSS THAT OUTSIDE.
I CAN'T PERFORM
THIS OPERATION.
YOU MUST!
A TRANSPLANT BETWEEN
THE KING AND HIS BROTHER
WOULD ATTRACT
WORLDWIDE PUBLICITY.
THE DOCTOR'S WIFE
DOES NOT KNOW
THAT HE IS HERE.
IF YOU PERFORM
THE OPERATION,
I GUARANTEE TO CONTROL
THE PUBLICITY.
IF YOU REFUSE,
I WILL ARRANGE
TO LET YOUR WIFE KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE ANYWAY.
HE'D HAVE TO BE TAKEN
TO A HOSPITAL.
HE'D BE RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY,
AND SO WOULD I.
HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MOVED.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
YOU NEED HERE
IN THE INFIRMARY.
BUT THIS OPERATION REQUIRES
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
AND WE WILL GET IT!
BUT WHERE?
WAIT...
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BORROW IT
FROM THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL
AT BEIMUL.
THE MEDICAL SUPERVISOR
IS AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.
AND WE'D NEED
A LARGE WORK AREA.
THE GYMNASIUM.
IT'S LARGE ENOUGH.
I'LL HAVE IT THOROUGHLY SCRUBBED
AND DISINFECTED.
MAY I USE THE PHONE?
OPERATOR, I'D LIKE THE PHONE
FOR THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL
IN BEIMUL.
THANK YOU.
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THAT I CAN'T PERFORM
THE OPERATION
WITHOUT A LEGAL CLEARANCE
FROM THE KING.
WHEN CAN HE BE HERE?
HE'LL BE HERE BY 11:30.
DR. ANDREATI, PLEASE.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
HELLO, MARCEL?
YES.
ERIC MULHAUSER HERE.
I'M JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
Yes, that's right.
That's the last time --
THE CONVENTION
AT VIENNA, 1962.
IT -- NO.
I'M SORRY, MARCEL.
IT'S -- IT'S NOT
A SOCIAL CALL.
I -- I NEED A FAVOR.
I want to borrow
the whole equipment package
for an implant.
NO. NO. HERE AT THE --
AT THE PALACE AT KAMADAN.
YES. I KNOW HOW
IT SOUNDS, MARCEL,
BUT I PROMISE YOU
THAT I AM NOT OUT OF MY MIND.
THIS...
IT'S A PROBLEM, MARCEL --
THE SAME ONE THAT YOU HAD
IN VIENNA IN '62,
IF YOU FOLLOW ME.
Yes, that's right.
YES. YES, I'LL HOLD.
I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.
YES?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MARCEL. YES.
I'll try to make it up
to you some way.
WE'LL BE WAITING.
GOODBYE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE
THE GYMNASIUM.
IS THAT IT?
THE OPERATION TO REMOVE
THE ORGAN FROM HIS MAJESTY
WILL TAKE PLACE HERE,
AND THE OPERATION
ON THE PRINCE HERE.
NOW, ONCE THESE TABLES
ARE IN POSITION,
THEY CAN'T BE MOVED
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
ANESTHETICS WILL BE
PENTOTHAL PRE-OP,
HALOTHANE DURING.
ANY TECHNICAL PROBLEMS?
NO BIG ONES, DOCTOR.
WE'LL HAVE TO RUN
SOME HEAVY-DUTY CABLE
OFF THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY.
-YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS?
-YES.
LOOK OUT FOR SABOTAGE,
BARNEY.
RIGHT.
THEY WILL OPERATE
VERY SOON.
WILL HE SURVIVE?
I BELIEVE SO.
THANK GOD.
IS YOUR RELIEF PERSONAL,
OR OUT OF CONCERN
FOR HIS DEAL WITH DEMETRIUS?
I KNOW NOTHING
OF MR. DEMETRIUS' DEALS.
YET YOU TRAVEL WITH HIM
ALL THE TIME?
ONLY WHEN
I'M NOT WORKING.
WHAT SORT OF WORK
DO YOU DO?
I'M AN ACTRESS.
YOU MUST BE
A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE.
MADAM, THOSE ARE
VERY BEAUTIFUL EARRINGS.
A NECKLACE TO MATCH
WOULD BE RATHER CHARMING,
DON'T YOU THINK?
ARE YOU TRYING
TO BRIBE ME?
OF COURSE.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
I JUST DON'T CARE
TO DO BUSINESS WITH.
I THOUGHT YOU DID BUSINESS
WITH ANYBODY
WHO COULD PAY.
YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF ME.
WHY?
ANSWER ME!
ALL RIGHT.
DEMETRIUS WON'T
SIGN THE CONTRACT
UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN...
REMOVED...
WHICH YOU WILL BE
RIGHT AFTER THE OPERATION.
WHY IS DEMETRIUS
CONCERNED ABOUT ME?
HE HAS CERTAIN TIES
WITH THE DEMOCRACIES.
HE CAN'T AFFORD
TO DO BUSINESS
WITH A NATION THAT EMPLOYS
A NOTORIOUS SADIST.
DOCTOR, YOU REALIZE
I CAN'T BEGIN THE OPERATION
WITHOUT THE DONOR'S
PERMISSION.
MM-HMM.
HAVE HIM IN THE GYMNASIUM
IN 15 MINUTES.
GET DR. LABASHI.
MAKE A SUBCOSTAL FLANK
INCISION HERE,
DIVIDING THE COSTOVERTEBRAL
LIGAMENT.
ISOLATE THE LEFT KIDNEY,
AND PACK IT UNTIL I'M READY
TO REMOVE IT.
I WONDER WHAT'S KEEPING
PARIS.
I'VE TESTED IT
FOUR TIMES.
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]
DR. LABASHI?
YES?
TAKIS IS HAVING A SEIZURE.
PLEASE COME.
VERY WELL.
NOW...
YOU WILL TELL ME
WHO YOU ARE,
AND WHAT YOU'RE REALLY
DOING HERE.

Nurse: DOCTOR!
DR. LABASHI!
WHAT IS IT?
HE'S DEAD.
THE KING IS DEAD!
DEAD?
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN?
YES. HE'S DEAD.
WHAT IS THIS URGENCY,
COLONEL?
I HAVE SOMETHING OF GRAVE
IMPORTANCE TO TELL YOU.
THE SHEIKHS...
WILL NO LONGER DEAL
WITH ANYONE BUT THE KING.
IF YOUR MESSAGE
IS IMPORTANT,
THE KING WILL WANT
TO DELIVER IT HIMSELF.
WAIT!
KING SELIM
HAS BEEN MURDERED.
WHO DID THIS THING?
WHY?
IT WAS PLANNED
BY PRINCE SAMANDAL,
ASSISTED BY
THE PALACE PHYSICIAN
LABASHI.
NOW, THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
AND AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL.
LABASHI KILLED
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
BY ASPHYXIATION.
WHERE ARE THESE MEN?
SAMANDAL IS UNDER GUARD.
LABASHI HAS DISAPPEARED,
BUT HE WILL BE ARRESTED
ON SIGHT.
WE WILL NOT BE SATISFIED
WITH YOUR WORD, COLONEL.
TO MAINTAIN ORDER,
I PROPOSE, THEREFORE,
TO ASSUME THE POWERS
OF REGENT.
NOW, THIS HAS NOT BEEN
A QUICK OR EASY DECISION
FOR ME.
HOWEVER, I FEEL CONFIDENT
IN THE AFFECTION
AND THE SUPPORT OF OUR PEOPLE,
AND IN MY ABILITY
TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT WORK
WHICH WAS SO CLOSE
TO HIS MAJESTY'S HEART.

AS THEY'RE TOLD.
AND DO YOU
DO AS YOU ARE TOLD?
WHEN IT PLEASES ME.
AH, BUT WHAT PLEASES YOU?
FINE CLOTHES,
JEWELRY, GIFTS?
IT PLEASES ME NOT
TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
EVEN WHEN SOMETHING
IS INEVITABLE, YOUR HIGHNESS,
I PREFER AT LEAST THE PRETENSE
OF HAVING A CHOICE.
I SEE.
EH, CRèME DE MENTHE,
BRANDY?
IS THAT COGNAC DU FRANé?
A GIFT FROM DEMETRIUS.
OH, HE NEVER SERVES THAT
TO HIS GUESTS.
APPARENTLY HE RESERVES
HIS MOST EXQUISITE GIFTS
FOR HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES.
A TIRESOME PRECAUTION
WISHED ON ME
BY MY ADVISORS.
WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK TO?
SOME TOASTS
ARE BETTER UNSPOKEN.
[ DOORS CLOSE ]
YOUR FRIEND DEMETRIUS
HAS SUPERB TASTE.
OH, ISN'T THAT LOVELY?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?
THERE'S ONE JUST LIKE IT
IN THE CAIRO MUSEUM.
A ROYAL HANDMAIDEN
TOOK HER VERY LAST DRINK --
IT SEEMS SHE WAS SEEING
TOO MUCH OF THE PHARAOH,
SO THE QUEEN
HAD HER EXECUTED.
IS THERE ANYTHING
IN LIFE WORTH DYING FOR?
SHE LOVED HIM.
UHH!
AAH!
WHAT IS IT?
HE'S EXHIBITING
ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF UREMIA.
USE PLAIN LANGUAGE.
KIDNEY DISEASE.
HAS HE SUFFERED
FROM THIS PREVIOUSLY?
NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
DID HE EAT ANYTHING
BEFORE THE ATTACK?
HE HAD DINNER WITH MADAM.
DID HE DRINK?
ONLY BRANDY.
DID YOU TASTE IT?
I HAD SOME, TOO.
IF THIS LADY PARTOOK
OF DRINK AND DINNER
AND SHOWED NO ILL EFFECTS,
THEY COULD NOT BE THE CAUSE.
THEN WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
I WOULD PREFER NOT
TO HAZARD A GUESS.
I AM NOT
A KIDNEY SPECIALIST.
THEN GET ONE.
SEND A PLANE.
I BELIEVE DR. MULHAUSER
IS A KIDNEY SPECIALIST.
DOCTOR WHO?
I MEANT DR. SCHMIDT.
YOU SAID MULHAUSER.
ERICH MULHAUSER?
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
HE IS THE LEADING AUTHORITY
ON UROLOGY.
THEN WHY IS HE MASQUERADING
UNDER A FALSE NAME?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
GET HIM HERE.
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]
DR. MULHAUSER?
YES?
HIS HIGHNESS HAS FALLEN ILL.
YOU ARE WANTED URGENTLY.
I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT IN GENERAL PRACTICE.
DR. LABASHI HAS DIAGNOSED
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
AT ANOTHER TIME,
WE CAN GO INTO YOUR REASONS
FOR MASQUERADING
UNDER A FALSE NAME.
THERE WAS NO
CRIMINAL INTENT.
THEN THERE IS NO REASON
FOR NOT TELLING ME.
MY WIFE THINKS THAT I'M AT
A MEDICAL CONVENTION
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
AND INSTEAD YOU ARE HERE
WITH AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOY
AND ONE OF HIS GIRLS,
HMM?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
YES. YOU WERE RIGHT,
DOCTOR.
THE SYMPTOMS INDICATE
SEVERE NEPHRITIC DEGENERATION.
SO...SUDDENLY.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND,
I WAS NEVER
IN GENERAL PRACTICE.
MY INTEREST IS IN
EXPERIMENTAL CHEMISTRY.
I KNOW, BUT IT'S
NO REFLECTION ON YOU
THAT YOU WEREN'T ABLE
TO DIAGNOSE EARLIER.
YES, WELL,
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
IMMEDIATE
KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.
LABASHI.
YOUR HIGHNESS,
THE PAIN YOU'RE FEELING
IS CAUSED BY WHAT WE CALL
NEPHRITIC DEGENERATION.
IN SIMPLE TERMS,
IT'S KIDNEY DAMAGE.
SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME YOUR KIDNEYS
MUST HAVE BEEN INJURED.
SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SIMPLY
NOT DOING THE JOB
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO,
AND YOUR SYSTEM
IS BEING POISONED.
THE CONDITION IS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE
WITHOUT THE PROPER TESTS.
YOU DIAGNOSED IT.
YES, AND RIGHT NOW
IT'S GONE SO FAR
THAT ANY EXPERT
COULD SEE IT.
HOW FAR?
IT WILL BE NECESSARY
TO REPLACE THE FUNCTIONS
OF THE DISEASED ORGANS
WITH A FRESH ONE.
TRANSPLANT?
I SHOULD POINT OUT
THAT FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS,
THE NEW ORGAN SHOULD COME
FROM A CLOSE RELATIVE.
LABASHI.
HIS HIGHNESS' BROTHER
WILL ACT AS DONOR.
THE KING?
SEND A CAR FOR HIM.
WHEN WILL YOU OPERATE?
UH, WE CAN, UH,
DISCUSS THAT OUTSIDE.
I CAN'T PERFORM
THIS OPERATION.
YOU MUST!
A TRANSPLANT BETWEEN
THE KING AND HIS BROTHER
WOULD ATTRACT
WORLDWIDE PUBLICITY.
THE DOCTOR'S WIFE
DOES NOT KNOW
THAT HE IS HERE.
IF YOU PERFORM
THE OPERATION,
I GUARANTEE TO CONTROL
THE PUBLICITY.
IF YOU REFUSE,
I WILL ARRANGE
TO LET YOUR WIFE KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE ANYWAY.
HE'D HAVE TO BE TAKEN
TO A HOSPITAL.
HE'D BE RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY,
AND SO WOULD I.
HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MOVED.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
YOU NEED HERE
IN THE INFIRMARY.
BUT THIS OPERATION REQUIRES
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
AND WE WILL GET IT!
BUT WHERE?
WAIT...
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BORROW IT
FROM THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL
AT BEIMUL.
THE MEDICAL SUPERVISOR
IS AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.
AND WE'D NEED
A LARGE WORK AREA.
THE GYMNASIUM.
IT'S LARGE ENOUGH.
I'LL HAVE IT THOROUGHLY SCRUBBED
AND DISINFECTED.
MAY I USE THE PHONE?
OPERATOR, I'D LIKE THE PHONE
FOR THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL
IN BEIMUL.
THANK YOU.
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THAT I CAN'T PERFORM
THE OPERATION
WITHOUT A LEGAL CLEARANCE
FROM THE KING.
WHEN CAN HE BE HERE?
HE'LL BE HERE BY 11:30.
DR. ANDREATI, PLEASE.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
HELLO, MARCEL?
YES.
ERIC MULHAUSER HERE.
I'M JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
Yes, that's right.
That's the last time --
THE CONVENTION
AT VIENNA, 1962.
IT -- NO.
I'M SORRY, MARCEL.
IT'S -- IT'S NOT
A SOCIAL CALL.
I -- I NEED A FAVOR.
I want to borrow
the whole equipment package
for an implant.
NO. NO. HERE AT THE --
AT THE PALACE AT KAMADAN.
YES. I KNOW HOW
IT SOUNDS, MARCEL,
BUT I PROMISE YOU
THAT I AM NOT OUT OF MY MIND.
THIS...
IT'S A PROBLEM, MARCEL --
THE SAME ONE THAT YOU HAD
IN VIENNA IN '62,
IF YOU FOLLOW ME.
Yes, that's right.
YES. YES, I'LL HOLD.
I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.
YES?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MARCEL. YES.
I'll try to make it up
to you some way.
WE'LL BE WAITING.
GOODBYE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE
THE GYMNASIUM.
IS THAT IT?
THE OPERATION TO REMOVE
THE ORGAN FROM HIS MAJESTY
WILL TAKE PLACE HERE,
AND THE OPERATION
ON THE PRINCE HERE.
NOW, ONCE THESE TABLES
ARE IN POSITION,
THEY CAN'T BE MOVED
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
ANESTHETICS WILL BE
PENTOTHAL PRE-OP,
HALOTHANE DURING.
ANY TECHNICAL PROBLEMS?
NO BIG ONES, DOCTOR.
WE'LL HAVE TO RUN
SOME HEAVY-DUTY CABLE
OFF THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY.
-YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS?
-YES.
LOOK OUT FOR SABOTAGE,
BARNEY.
RIGHT.
THEY WILL OPERATE
VERY SOON.
WILL HE SURVIVE?
I BELIEVE SO.
THANK GOD.
IS YOUR RELIEF PERSONAL,
OR OUT OF CONCERN
FOR HIS DEAL WITH DEMETRIUS?
I KNOW NOTHING
OF MR. DEMETRIUS' DEALS.
YET YOU TRAVEL WITH HIM
ALL THE TIME?
ONLY WHEN
I'M NOT WORKING.
WHAT SORT OF WORK
DO YOU DO?
I'M AN ACTRESS.
YOU MUST BE
A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE.
MADAM, THOSE ARE
VERY BEAUTIFUL EARRINGS.
A NECKLACE TO MATCH
WOULD BE RATHER CHARMING,
DON'T YOU THINK?
ARE YOU TRYING
TO BRIBE ME?
OF COURSE.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
I JUST DON'T CARE
TO DO BUSINESS WITH.
I THOUGHT YOU DID BUSINESS
WITH ANYBODY
WHO COULD PAY.
YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF ME.
WHY?
ANSWER ME!
ALL RIGHT.
DEMETRIUS WON'T
SIGN THE CONTRACT
UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN...
REMOVED...
WHICH YOU WILL BE
RIGHT AFTER THE OPERATION.
WHY IS DEMETRIUS
CONCERNED ABOUT ME?
HE HAS CERTAIN TIES
WITH THE DEMOCRACIES.
HE CAN'T AFFORD
TO DO BUSINESS
WITH A NATION THAT EMPLOYS
A NOTORIOUS SADIST.
DOCTOR, YOU REALIZE
I CAN'T BEGIN THE OPERATION
WITHOUT THE DONOR'S
PERMISSION.
MM-HMM.
HAVE HIM IN THE GYMNASIUM
IN 15 MINUTES.
GET DR. LABASHI.
MAKE A SUBCOSTAL FLANK
INCISION HERE,
DIVIDING THE COSTOVERTEBRAL
LIGAMENT.
ISOLATE THE LEFT KIDNEY,
AND PACK IT UNTIL I'M READY
TO REMOVE IT.
I WONDER WHAT'S KEEPING
PARIS.
I'VE TESTED IT
FOUR TIMES.
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]
DR. LABASHI?
YES?
TAKIS IS HAVING A SEIZURE.
PLEASE COME.
VERY WELL.
NOW...
YOU WILL TELL ME
WHO YOU ARE,
AND WHAT YOU'RE REALLY
DOING HERE.

DR. LABASHI!
WHAT IS IT?
HE'S DEAD.
THE KING IS DEAD!
DEAD?
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN?
YES. HE'S DEAD.
WHAT IS THIS URGENCY,
COLONEL?
I HAVE SOMETHING OF GRAVE
IMPORTANCE TO TELL YOU.
THE SHEIKHS...
WILL NO LONGER DEAL
WITH ANYONE BUT THE KING.
IF YOUR MESSAGE
IS IMPORTANT,
THE KING WILL WANT
TO DELIVER IT HIMSELF.
WAIT!
KING SELIM
HAS BEEN MURDERED.
WHO DID THIS THING?
WHY?
IT WAS PLANNED
BY PRINCE SAMANDAL,
ASSISTED BY
THE PALACE PHYSICIAN
LABASHI.
NOW, THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
AND AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL.
LABASHI KILLED
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
BY ASPHYXIATION.
WHERE ARE THESE MEN?
SAMANDAL IS UNDER GUARD.
LABASHI HAS DISAPPEARED,
BUT HE WILL BE ARRESTED
ON SIGHT.
WE WILL NOT BE SATISFIED
WITH YOUR WORD, COLONEL.
TO MAINTAIN ORDER,
I PROPOSE, THEREFORE,
TO ASSUME THE POWERS
OF REGENT.
NOW, THIS HAS NOT BEEN
A QUICK OR EASY DECISION
FOR ME.
HOWEVER, I FEEL CONFIDENT
IN THE AFFECTION
AND THE SUPPORT OF OUR PEOPLE,
AND IN MY ABILITY
TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT WORK
WHICH WAS SO CLOSE
TO HIS MAJESTY'S HEART.
