Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 4, Episode 12 - Time Bomb - full transcript
Anton Malek is a mole sent years ago to monitor the nuclear program of an Iron Curtain nation. Suffering from a terminal illness Malek has become a rogue agent, and rigged a nuclear reactor to explode. Convinced by the team that his illness can be cured, Malek (unknowingly) disassembles an IMF replica of the bomb, while Barney mimics his procedure on the real device. But, Phelps suddenly realizes that Malek has discovered the deception; forcing the team to rely on intuition alone in disarming the bomb.
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
TWELVE YEARS AGO,
THIS MAN, ANTON MALEK,
WAS PLANTED IN THE FEDERATED
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
TO INFILTRATE THEIR
ATOMIC RESEARCH PROGRAM.
NOW SUFFERING
FROM AN INCURABLE DISEASE,
MALEK IS ACTING INDEPENDENTLY
AGAINST HIS COUNTRY'S ORDERS.
AT 4:00 THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW,
MALEK IS GOING TO TURN
A NUCLEAR REACTOR
INTO AN ATOMIC BOMB,
WHICH WILL WIPE OUT THE CAPITAL
AND BRING ON AN ATOMIC WAR.
ANY ATTEMPT TO EXPOSE MALEK
WILL ONLY RESULT
IN HIS SETTING OFF THE BLAST
AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP MALEK.
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 A ROUGH SKETCH
OF THE REAL
STAINED-GLASS WINDOW.
AND THIS IS THE ARTIST,
IVADOR BOLKANSKI.
THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT MALEK'S DETONATION
MECHANISM LOOKS LIKE.
ONCE IT'S ACTIVATED AND
PLACED IN A NUCLEAR PILE,
MALEK WILL THEN SET
HIS ANTITAMPERING DEVICE.
WHAT IS THAT?
WAI LEE, ANYONE TRYING TO REMOVE
THE DETONATOR
AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERS
A RUNAWAY ACTION
IN THE REACTOR,
AND A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.
YOU SEE, ONLY WHEN YOU TAKE
THESE PINS OUT
IN A CERTAIN ORDER
CAN YOU THEN REMOVE
THE DETONATOR.
YEAH, AND ONLY MALEK
KNOWS THAT ORDER.
HOW ABOUT THE DRUG,
BARNEY?
OUR INJECTION WILL HAVE
TWO EFFECTS ON MALEK --
ONE IS, HE WILL APPEAR
TO BE DYING.
THE SECOND IS,
HE WILL BLACK OUT.
AFTER THAT,
THE EFFECTS WEAR OFF.
WERE YOU ABLE TO GET
A TIMING ON THE JET, WILLY?
WE'LL HEAR THE SONIC BOOM
WITHIN 20 SECONDS
EITHER SIDE OF 10:00.
GOOD.
NOW, MALEK IS ON
A SUICIDE MISSION.
HOWEVER, I THINK
HE'LL HAVE A VERY STRONG
INSTINCTIVE URGE
FOR SELF-PRESERVATION.
IF HE DOESN'T,
HIS NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
WILL WIPE OUT
THE ENTIRE CAPITAL.
ALL RIGHT,
GO TO THE LEFT.
JIM, THEY'RE COMING.
WHAT IS THE MEANING
OF THIS?
THIS IS SPECIAL CONVOY
NUMBER 43.
WE HAVE CLEARANCE
THROUGH ALL ROADBLOCKS.
THERE'S BEEN CONSIDERABLE
TERRORIST ACTIVITY.
YOUR PAPERS, CAPTAIN.
TAKE IT AWAY.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
GOOD, PARIS.
PERFECT.
COLONEL MALEK.
GOOD MORNING,
GENERAL BRENNER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHERE ARE ALL
THE TECHNICIANS?
I DISMISSED THEM.
I WANTED TO BE IN HERE ALONE.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
IT IS NOT EASY TO EXPLAIN.
THIS ROOM HAS BEEN MY LIFE
FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
I WANTED TO BE ALONE WITH MY
THOUGHTS AND TO SAY GOODBYE.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I DO.
Brenner:
IS THERE NO HOPE?
I THOUGHT
THE AUSTRIAN SCIENTIST
WAS CLOSE TO A CURE.
MEDICINE ADVANCES SLOWLY,
CAUTIOUSLY.
UNFORTUNATELY,
MY CONDITION DOES NOT.
ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU
FOR KEEPING SILENT
ABOUT MY CONDITION.
IT WAS VERY SELFISH
OF ME.
I DID NOT WANT YOU
TAKEN OFF THE PROJECT.
BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED
OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
MAN: General Brenner?
General Brenner?
BRENNER HERE.
Special Convoy Number 43
is at the main entrance,
General.
THEY'RE LATE.
IF IT WERE NOT
FOR THE PREMIER'S DESIRE
THAT WE ALL WORK
IN A CULTURALLY
SATISFYING ENVIRONMENT,
I WOULD NOT CARE
IF THEY NEVER ARRIVED.
WORKS OF ART
ARE FOR A MUSEUM,
NOT FOR A NUCLEAR REACTOR
COMPLEX.
I UNDERSTAND
NO ONE HAS SEEN HER FACE.
PREMIER
IS VERY PROTECTIVE
OF HIS LATEST
ACQUISITION.
WELL, THE MYSTERY
WILL SOON BE UNVEILED.
NOW TELL ME, GENTLEMEN,
WHAT DO YOU THINK, HUH?
I SEE A WOMAN
WITH THREE HEADS.
A WOMAN WITH THREE HEADS?
THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
I HAVE NO TIME
FOR DISCUSSION
OF ABSTRACT ART.
IT IS NOT ABSTRACT ART.
IT IS CUBIST.
WHATEVER.
I HAVE NEITHER THE TIME
NOR THE INCLINATION
TO CONTINUE THIS
RIDICULOUS DISCUSSION.
I WOULD NOT JUDGE
GENERAL BRENNER
TOO HARSHLY,
MR. BOLKANSKI.
HE'S NOT
ARTISTICALLY INCLINED.
YES, I KNOW THE GENERAL'S
TYPE VERY WELL.
HE IS THE KIND OF MAN
WHO WOULD REFER
TO A CONCERT VIOLINIST
AS A FIDDLER.
NOW I HAVE WORK TO DO,
COLONEL.
I MAY NEED SOME HELP
WITH THE INSTALLATION.
LIEUTENANT REICHER...
YES, SIR.
GIVE MR. BOLKANSKI
ANY ASSISTANCE HE NEEDS.
MAN...
THERE.
NOW HERE.
NOW.
THIS GOES IN...
THAT ROOM.
ARE THE TV MONITORS
IN PLACE?
THEY'LL BE INSTALLED
IN A FEW MINUTES.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.
I'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR CALL.
[ RINGING ]
YES.
I WILL CHECK THE COOLING
EQUIPMENT IMMEDIATELY.
LIEUTENANT,
I MUST SPEAK TO YOU.
I'M SORRY,
BUT WHATEVER IT IS
WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
LIEUTENANT!
YES.
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME,
IT WILL BE TOO LATE!
VERY WELL. WHAT IS IT?
DON'T YOU HEAR IT?
THE JET --
IT'S COMING THIS WAY.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
THE GLASS WILL SHATTER.
NOW, DO SOMETHING!
DO SOMETHING!
YES, MAJOR?
I AM MAJOR HAUSER.
I AM HERE TO SEE
DEPUTY PREMIER VOSS.
PLEASE, BE SEATED.
THE GLASS
WAS NOT DEFECTIVE!
THEN WHY DID IT SHATTER?
I USED A RARE
ITALIAN GLASS.
IT IS VERY FRAGILE.
BUT WE ARE IN THE FLIGHT
PATH OF JET AIRCRAFT.
THE JET AIRCRAFT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN REROUTED.
WHY COULD YOU NOT HAVE
USED MORE RESILIENT GLASS?
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
ONLY THIS GLASS
HAS THE ABILITY TO...
TO CAPTURE THE MUTED SHADES
NECESSARY TO THE FEELING
OF THE WHOLE PIECE.
I AM NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR MUTED SHADES
AND FEELINGS.
HOW AM I GOING TO TELL
THIS TO THE PREMIER?!
PREMIER?
HE WILL BE
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
HE WILL ALSO BE
EXTREMELY ANGRY.
MR. BOLKANSKI, COME.
[ RINGING ]
YES? OH, YES, MAJOR.
NO, I HAVE NOT FIXED
THE COOLING SYSTEM YET.
I'M SORRY, SIR,
BUT, YOU SEE,
IN THE EXCITEMENT, I --
YES, MAJOR. IMMEDIATELY.
[ RINGING ]
DEPUTY PREMIER'S OFFICE.
Karl...
YES, DEPUTY PREMIER?
There should be an officer
arriving there shortly --
a Major Hauser.
HE IS ALREADY HERE,
DEPUTY PREMIER.
Tell him I will be there
in about an hour.
He can use the time
to read the Krieger case.
Make a copy of
the transcript for him.
YES, DEPUTY PREMIER.
THE DEPUTY PREMIER
SAYS HE WILL BE HERE
IN AN HOUR,
AND THAT YOU ARE TO READ
THE TRANSCRIPT
OF THE KRIEGER CASE.
I WILL MAKE YOU A COPY.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS,
MR. BOLKANSKI,
BUT IS THERE SOME WAY?
NO, NO, I WOULD
HAVE TO START AGAIN
PRACTICALLY
FROM THE BEGINNING.
I WOULD HAVE TO RECAPTURE
THE SPIRIT OF THE WORK.
FOR THIS, I NEED MYASMIN.
WE WILL GET HER.
THE PREMIER NEVER
LETS HER OUT OF HIS SIGHT.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY
THE WINDOW CAN BE REPLACED.
WE WILL TRY.
VERY WELL.
[ RINGING ]
DEPUTY PREMIER'S OFFICE.
THIS IS GENERAL BRENNER.
I WISH TO SPEAK
TO THE DEPUTY PREMIER.
THE DEPUTY PREMIER IS WITH
THE PREMIER IN HIS OFFICE.
I COULD HAVE THE CALL
TRANSFERRED.
YES.
This is Deputy Premier Voss.
What is it, General?
THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT
AT THE COMPLEX.
AN ACCIDENT?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
THE STAINED-GLASS WINDOW
HAS BEEN SHATTERED.
As Premier:
WHAT IS IT, VOSS?
As Voss: THE STAINED-GLASS
WINDOW HAS BEEN SHATTERED.
Give me the phone.
What happened?
A JET PLANE.
A SONIC BOOM.
APPARENTLY, THE SOUND.
Is Ivador Bolkanski there?
YES, PREMIER.
IT IS A CATASTROPHE.
MY MASTERPIECE
HAS BEEN RUINED, RUINED!
Brenner, you are relieved
of command.
PREMIER, THAT WILL NOT REPLACE
WHAT HAS BEEN LOST.
PREMIER,
MR. BOLKANSKI BELIEVES
THAT THE WINDOW
CAN BE REPAIRED.
IS THAT TRUE, IVADOR?
YES, BUT I WILL NEED
MYASMIN.
NO.
I CANNOT PART WITH HER.
I am even more dependent
upon her than before.
BUT ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS,
PREMIER.
NO, THE DOCTORS SAY
IF I --
I need her.
Wait.
SHE SAYS
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT
TO LEAVE ME
FOR A FEW HOURS.
She can go.
YES, PREMIER.
Brenner, the Colonel Dietrich
of the Elite Guard
will accompany Myasmin.
He will make
a security inspection
of the entire complex.
PREMIER, DOES THIS MEAN
THAT I AM STILL IN COMMAND
OF THE COMPLEX?
Yes, unless I receive
an unfavorable report
on your competency
from Colonel Dietrich.
[ Receiver clicks ]
GENERAL BRENNER.
COLONEL DIETRICH,
COLONEL MARK.
COLONEL, MYASMIN.
GENERAL.
MYASMIN. MYASMIN.
IVADOR.
OH, HOW TERRIBLE.
YES, YES, IT'S TRAGIC,
BUT NOW
THAT YOU ARE HERE,
I FEEL MY INSPIRATION
RETURNING.
HAS THE PREMIER
INFORMED YOU
OF THE PURPOSE OF
MY VISIT TO THE COMPLEX?
YES.
WHAT PART OF THE COMPLEX
DO YOU WANT TO INSPECT?
EVERYWHERE...
AND EVERYTHING.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
IMMEDIATELY.
COLONEL...
YES?
YES?
NOTHING.
IT IS NOTHING.
THIS IS
OUR MEDICAL SECTION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
COLONEL DIETRICH,
THIS IS DR. WIMMEL.
CONTINUE YOUR WORK,
DOCTOR.
THIS DRUG IS SOMETIMES
USED TO HELP PATIENTS
WHO ARE SUFFERING
FROM INCURABLE ILLNESSES.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO
REQUIRES SUCH MEDICATION?
NO, COLONEL.
I AM USING IT FOR
EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES.
I SEE.
NOT COMING, COLONEL?
COLONEL MALEK
HAS AN APPOINTMENT
WITH ME, COLONEL.
OH.
NOTHING WRONG, I HOPE?
NO, A ROUTINE EXAMINATION
BEFORE HE LEAVES
FOR HIS VACATION.
AH.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HAVE YOU STARTED FEELING
ANY DISCOMFORT?
A LITTLE.
BUT THE INJECTIONS HELP.
I HAVE SENT
YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY
TO THE DOCTOR YOU WILL
BE SEEING IN SWITZERLAND.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED
THAT THE INJECTIONS
BE CONTINUED.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
WHEN WILL YOU BE LEAVING?
MY PLANE TAKES OFF
AT, UH, 3:15.
Colonel Malek,
your car is ready.
I WILL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
CAN I HELP YOU?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
YES.
WELL, PERHAPS
GENERAL BRENNER CAN HELP YOU.
I HAVE TO CATCH A PLANE
IN A FEW MINUTES.
I'M AFRAID THE GENERAL
CANNOT HELP ME.
WELL, EXACTLY
WHAT DID YOU WANT
TO, UH, SEE ME ABOUT?
YES? YES? YES?
THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT
FOR ME, COLONEL.
NOW...
WHAT IS IT?
YOU ARE NOT A WELL MAN,
ARE YOU, COLONEL?
WHAT?
IN FACT,
YOU ARE QUITE ILL.
THAT IS WHY
YOU'RE GOING AWAY.
I AM PERFECTLY FINE, AND
I AM GOING ON A VACATION.
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I HAVE FEELINGS
ABOUT THESE THINGS.
I'M SURE YOU DO, BUT I
HAVE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
I CAN HELP YOU.
BUT I DO NOT NEED HELP.
YES, YOU DO.
PLEASE.
I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE.
THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL.
YOU HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN.
NO, I AM NOT.
I CAN CURE YOU.
HOW? ARE YOU DOCTOR?
NO.
MY METHODS
ARE VERY UNORTHODOX.
I HEAL.
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD,
I'VE HAD THIS...THIS GIFT.
YES, AND I'M SURE YOU'VE
HAD SOME AMAZING RESULTS.
NOW, I MUST CATCH
A PLANE.
THE PREMIER
DID NOT BELIEVE, EITHER.
LOOK, I'LL BE HONEST
WITH YOU.
I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE
TO THE PHILOSOPHY
OF FAITH HEALING.
I'M SORRY. GOODBYE.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING. UH...
IT WILL PASS.
I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO LIE DOWN.
JUST, UH, GET SOMEONE
TO HELP ME TO MY CAR.
I...HAVE TO LEAVE,
HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
CALL DR. WIMMEL
IMMEDIATELY.
LET ME HELP YOU.
CALL HIM!
DR. WIMMEL, PLEASE.
WHAT IS IT, DOCTOR?
IT IS HAPPENING
SOONER THAN WE EXPECTED.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
MYASMIN?
I CAME TO HELP HIM.
DOCTOR, DO SOMETHING.
I MUST GET TO THAT PLANE.
I'M SORRY, COLONEL,
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
NOW, PLEASE,
DO NOT EXERT YOURSELF.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM,
DOCTOR?
THE COLONEL IS...
WELL...
GENERAL?
HE'S DYING OF
AN INCURABLE DISEASE.
AND HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN ABOUT IT?
ABOUT ONE YEAR.
AND YOU DID NOT
REPORT IT?!
I ASKED HIM NOT TO.
I SEE!
COLONEL, I CAN EXPLAIN.
I AM SURE THE PREMIER WILL
BE VERY ANXIOUS TO HEAR
WHATEVER EXPLANATIONS YOU
HAVE TO OFFER, GENERAL.
MYASMIN, YOU WILL REJOIN
MR. BOLKANSKI.
NO, I'M GOING TO REMAIN.
HE NEEDS MY HELP.
BUT YOU HEARD HIM.
HE'S INCURABLY ILL!
YOU ALSO HEARD WHAT
THE PREMIER'S DOCTOR SAID!
GENTLEMEN, YOU MUST SWEAR
TO KEEP SECRET
WHAT MYASMIN,
IN HER HASTE,
HAS JUST DIVULGED.
[ INTERCOM BUZZING ]
GENERAL BRENNER HERE.
GENERAL BRENNER, COME TO THE
NUCLEAR REACTOR ROOM AT ONCE!
WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENED?
The walls are cracking.
The foundations
have weakened.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
IT IS TRUE, GENERAL.
I AM LOOKING AT THEM.
I'LL BE THERE
IMMEDIATELY.
GENERAL, WAIT.
I'M COMING WITH YOU.
MYASMIN,
I SHALL BE SPEAKING
WITH THE PREMIER SHORTLY.
IF YOU DO NOT COME
WITH ME IMMEDIATELY,
I SHALL HAVE TO INFORM HIM
OF YOUR ACTIONS.
CAN YOU GET ME
THESE HERBS?
SOME OF THEM, YES.
GOOD. BRING THEM
AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
HURRY, DOCTOR.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
THE FOUNDATIONS WERE
CHECKED ONLY LAST WEEK.
THEN THEY WERE NOT
CHECKED THOROUGHLY,
OR ELSE SABOTAGE.
IN EITHER CASE,
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.
WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
COLONEL LAMBERT,
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO.
COLONEL LAMBERT, PLEASE.
THIS IS COLONEL DIETRICH,
ELITE GUARD.
YES.
I HAVE
A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM.
I WANT YOU TO SEND
THE BEST MAN
YOU HAVE AVAILABLE TO THE
NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPLEX.
Yes, this is
an emergency.
WHO?
MR. CHAMBY?
PLEASE.
IT WILL TAKE
SEVERAL MINUTES.
THERE'S HARDLY ANY PULSE.
HIS HEARTBEAT
IS GETTING STRONGER.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
DO NOT THANK ME.
THANK THOSE HERBS,
AND MYASMIN.
SHE'S RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR BEING ALIVE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
ALMOST 3:00.
MR. BOLKANSKI, I ADVISE
YOU LEAVE THE BUILDING
AT ONCE.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
THE FOUNDATIONS
HAVE WEAKENED.
I CAN'T LEAVE.
MY WINDOW. MY WORK.
[ Sternly ]
AT ONCE, MR. BOLKANSKI.
MYASMIN, I HAVE SPOKEN
WITH THE PREMIER.
I'VE INFORMED HIM
THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN STRUCTURAL DEFECTS
IN THE BUILDING.
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS
FOR YOU TO REMAIN.
YOU MUST LEAVE.
NO.
I CANNOT LEAVE HIM.
HE WILL DIE.
ONLY I KNOW WHAT
RARE HERBS HE REQUIRES,
AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM.
NO!
YOU MUST LET HER...
HELP ME.
HE HAS PASSED OUT.
MYASMIN!
I CANNOT LEAVE
WITHOUT HIM.
HAVE MY DRIVER
BRING THE CAR.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]
MR. CHAMBY WILL REQUIRE
BLUEPRINTS
AND SPECIFICATIONS
OF THE ENTIRE COMPLEX,
GENERAL.
I SUGGEST YOU GET THEM.
QUICKLY.
WELL, MR. CHAMBY?
I CANNOT BE CERTAIN,
COLONEL.
BUT JUDGING BY THE SIZE
OF THESE FISSURES,
ONE OF THE MAIN FOUNDATIONS
OF THE BUILDING
HAS LOOSENED OR WEAKENED
SOMEHOW.
IN ANY EVENT,
THE BUILDING IS UNSAFE
AND WILL HAVE TO BE
EVACUATED.
I WILL EVACUATE
THE CIVILIAN TECHNICIANS,
THE MILITARY PERSONNEL.
THE GUARDS WILL STAY.
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND
IN A FEW MINUTES.
YOU BETTER GET READY.
OKAY.
THE BUILDING
HAS BEEN EVACUATED.
MR. CHAMBY IS IN
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR ROOM.
HE DOES NOT WISH
TO BE DISTURBED
WHILE HE COMPLETES
HIS EXAMINATION.
GO.
JIM?
HERE, BARNEY.
MALEK IS
JUST COMING AROUND.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL
HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO CLEAR THE BUILDING.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL
HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO CLEAR THE BUILDING.
NURSE: You are wanted
in corridor "c," doctor.
Has the plasma arrived?
No, Doctor.
Doctor, is she alive?
Yes, she was just
knocked unconscious.
She'll be all right.
What has happened?
I haven't got the time, Colonel.
You must leave the building.
COLONEL...
What happened?
Shortly after
you passed out,
the building
started to collapse.
How do you feel now?
I'M WEAK.
YES.
ONCE I PREPARE THE HERBS,
YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
THAT WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
The time has run out
for me.
No, it has not.
Yes. I cannot postpone death
any longer.
BUT YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO DIE.
NOT NOW.
YES, I DO.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU.
YOU WILL.
Colonel, please.
You must continue to keep
your will to live.
I have ordered the herbs.
They will be here
in just a short time.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
THERE IS SOMETHING
I MUST DO.
WHERE IS COLONEL DIETRICH
AND GENERAL BRENNER?
THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN TAKEN
TO THE HOSPITAL.
HE'S GOING TO
THE REACTOR ROOM, BARNEY.
DEAD CENTER.
1:00, BARNEY.
9:00.
3:00.
7:00.
JIM?
BARNEY, IS THERE
ANYTHING DIFFERENT
ABOUT THE FACE
ON MALEK'S CLOCK?
YES, JIM, IT'S GOT
A SCRATCH ON IT.
HE'S PULLING THE PIN
AT 11:00.
RIGHT, JIM.
WAIT A MINUTE, BARNEY.
I THINK HE KNOWS.
I THINK HE DELIBERATELY
PULLED THE WRONG ONE.
I CAN'T BE SURE, BUT I THINK
IT'S THE ONE AT 5:00.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, JIM.
UNDERSTAND THIS, BARNEY,
I COULD BE WRONG.
I UNDERSTAND, JIM.
JIM, WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU BELIEVE,
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
[ SIGHS ]
YOU WEREN'T WRONG, JIM.
IS THE BUILDING SAFE,
MR. CHAMBY?
YES, IT IS, GENERAL.
THE DEFECTIVE BEAM
IS IN THE BASEMENT.
I WILL SEND A COMPANY OF
ENGINEERS TO REPAIR IT.
RIGHT NOW I MUST MAKE A PERSONAL
REPORT TO THE PREMIER.
I WILL ACCOMPANY YOU,
MR. CHAMBY.

the transcript for him.
YES, DEPUTY PREMIER.
THE DEPUTY PREMIER
SAYS HE WILL BE HERE
IN AN HOUR,
AND THAT YOU ARE TO READ
THE TRANSCRIPT
OF THE KRIEGER CASE.
I WILL MAKE YOU A COPY.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS,
MR. BOLKANSKI,
BUT IS THERE SOME WAY?
NO, NO, I WOULD
HAVE TO START AGAIN
PRACTICALLY
FROM THE BEGINNING.
I WOULD HAVE TO RECAPTURE
THE SPIRIT OF THE WORK.
FOR THIS, I NEED MYASMIN.
WE WILL GET HER.
THE PREMIER NEVER
LETS HER OUT OF HIS SIGHT.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY
THE WINDOW CAN BE REPLACED.
WE WILL TRY.
VERY WELL.
[ RINGING ]
DEPUTY PREMIER'S OFFICE.
THIS IS GENERAL BRENNER.
I WISH TO SPEAK
TO THE DEPUTY PREMIER.
THE DEPUTY PREMIER IS WITH
THE PREMIER IN HIS OFFICE.
I COULD HAVE THE CALL
TRANSFERRED.
YES.
This is Deputy Premier Voss.
What is it, General?
THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT
AT THE COMPLEX.
AN ACCIDENT?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
THE STAINED-GLASS WINDOW
HAS BEEN SHATTERED.
As Premier:
WHAT IS IT, VOSS?
As Voss: THE STAINED-GLASS
WINDOW HAS BEEN SHATTERED.
Give me the phone.
What happened?
A JET PLANE.
A SONIC BOOM.
APPARENTLY, THE SOUND.
Is Ivador Bolkanski there?
YES, PREMIER.
IT IS A CATASTROPHE.
MY MASTERPIECE
HAS BEEN RUINED, RUINED!
Brenner, you are relieved
of command.
PREMIER, THAT WILL NOT REPLACE
WHAT HAS BEEN LOST.
PREMIER,
MR. BOLKANSKI BELIEVES
THAT THE WINDOW
CAN BE REPAIRED.
IS THAT TRUE, IVADOR?
YES, BUT I WILL NEED
MYASMIN.
NO.
I CANNOT PART WITH HER.
I am even more dependent
upon her than before.
BUT ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS,
PREMIER.
NO, THE DOCTORS SAY
IF I --
I need her.
Wait.
SHE SAYS
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT
TO LEAVE ME
FOR A FEW HOURS.
She can go.
YES, PREMIER.
Brenner, the Colonel Dietrich
of the Elite Guard
will accompany Myasmin.
He will make
a security inspection
of the entire complex.
PREMIER, DOES THIS MEAN
THAT I AM STILL IN COMMAND
OF THE COMPLEX?
Yes, unless I receive
an unfavorable report
on your competency
from Colonel Dietrich.
[ Receiver clicks ]
GENERAL BRENNER.
COLONEL DIETRICH,
COLONEL MARK.
COLONEL, MYASMIN.
GENERAL.
MYASMIN. MYASMIN.
IVADOR.
OH, HOW TERRIBLE.
YES, YES, IT'S TRAGIC,
BUT NOW
THAT YOU ARE HERE,
I FEEL MY INSPIRATION
RETURNING.
HAS THE PREMIER
INFORMED YOU
OF THE PURPOSE OF
MY VISIT TO THE COMPLEX?
YES.
WHAT PART OF THE COMPLEX
DO YOU WANT TO INSPECT?
EVERYWHERE...
AND EVERYTHING.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
IMMEDIATELY.
COLONEL...
YES?
YES?
NOTHING.
IT IS NOTHING.
THIS IS
OUR MEDICAL SECTION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
COLONEL DIETRICH,
THIS IS DR. WIMMEL.
CONTINUE YOUR WORK,
DOCTOR.
THIS DRUG IS SOMETIMES
USED TO HELP PATIENTS
WHO ARE SUFFERING
FROM INCURABLE ILLNESSES.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO
REQUIRES SUCH MEDICATION?
NO, COLONEL.
I AM USING IT FOR
EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES.
I SEE.
NOT COMING, COLONEL?
COLONEL MALEK
HAS AN APPOINTMENT
WITH ME, COLONEL.
OH.
NOTHING WRONG, I HOPE?
NO, A ROUTINE EXAMINATION
BEFORE HE LEAVES
FOR HIS VACATION.
AH.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HAVE YOU STARTED FEELING
ANY DISCOMFORT?
A LITTLE.
BUT THE INJECTIONS HELP.
I HAVE SENT
YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY
TO THE DOCTOR YOU WILL
BE SEEING IN SWITZERLAND.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED
THAT THE INJECTIONS
BE CONTINUED.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
WHEN WILL YOU BE LEAVING?
MY PLANE TAKES OFF
AT, UH, 3:15.
Colonel Malek,
your car is ready.
I WILL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
CAN I HELP YOU?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
YES.
WELL, PERHAPS
GENERAL BRENNER CAN HELP YOU.
I HAVE TO CATCH A PLANE
IN A FEW MINUTES.
I'M AFRAID THE GENERAL
CANNOT HELP ME.
WELL, EXACTLY
WHAT DID YOU WANT
TO, UH, SEE ME ABOUT?
YES? YES? YES?
THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT
FOR ME, COLONEL.
NOW...
WHAT IS IT?
YOU ARE NOT A WELL MAN,
ARE YOU, COLONEL?
WHAT?
IN FACT,
YOU ARE QUITE ILL.
THAT IS WHY
YOU'RE GOING AWAY.
I AM PERFECTLY FINE, AND
I AM GOING ON A VACATION.
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I HAVE FEELINGS
ABOUT THESE THINGS.
I'M SURE YOU DO, BUT I
HAVE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
I CAN HELP YOU.
BUT I DO NOT NEED HELP.
YES, YOU DO.
PLEASE.
I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE.
THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL.
YOU HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN.
NO, I AM NOT.
I CAN CURE YOU.
HOW? ARE YOU DOCTOR?
NO.
MY METHODS
ARE VERY UNORTHODOX.
I HEAL.
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD,
I'VE HAD THIS...THIS GIFT.
YES, AND I'M SURE YOU'VE
HAD SOME AMAZING RESULTS.
NOW, I MUST CATCH
A PLANE.
THE PREMIER
DID NOT BELIEVE, EITHER.
LOOK, I'LL BE HONEST
WITH YOU.
I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE
TO THE PHILOSOPHY
OF FAITH HEALING.
I'M SORRY. GOODBYE.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING. UH...
IT WILL PASS.
I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO LIE DOWN.
JUST, UH, GET SOMEONE
TO HELP ME TO MY CAR.
I...HAVE TO LEAVE,
HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
CALL DR. WIMMEL
IMMEDIATELY.
LET ME HELP YOU.
CALL HIM!
DR. WIMMEL, PLEASE.
WHAT IS IT, DOCTOR?
IT IS HAPPENING
SOONER THAN WE EXPECTED.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
MYASMIN?
I CAME TO HELP HIM.
DOCTOR, DO SOMETHING.
I MUST GET TO THAT PLANE.
I'M SORRY, COLONEL,
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
NOW, PLEASE,
DO NOT EXERT YOURSELF.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM,
DOCTOR?
THE COLONEL IS...
WELL...
GENERAL?
HE'S DYING OF
AN INCURABLE DISEASE.
AND HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN ABOUT IT?
ABOUT ONE YEAR.
AND YOU DID NOT
REPORT IT?!
I ASKED HIM NOT TO.
I SEE!
COLONEL, I CAN EXPLAIN.
I AM SURE THE PREMIER WILL
BE VERY ANXIOUS TO HEAR
WHATEVER EXPLANATIONS YOU
HAVE TO OFFER, GENERAL.
MYASMIN, YOU WILL REJOIN
MR. BOLKANSKI.
NO, I'M GOING TO REMAIN.
HE NEEDS MY HELP.
BUT YOU HEARD HIM.
HE'S INCURABLY ILL!
YOU ALSO HEARD WHAT
THE PREMIER'S DOCTOR SAID!
GENTLEMEN, YOU MUST SWEAR
TO KEEP SECRET
WHAT MYASMIN,
IN HER HASTE,
HAS JUST DIVULGED.
[ INTERCOM BUZZING ]
GENERAL BRENNER HERE.
GENERAL BRENNER, COME TO THE
NUCLEAR REACTOR ROOM AT ONCE!
WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENED?
The walls are cracking.
The foundations
have weakened.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
IT IS TRUE, GENERAL.
I AM LOOKING AT THEM.
I'LL BE THERE
IMMEDIATELY.
GENERAL, WAIT.
I'M COMING WITH YOU.
MYASMIN,
I SHALL BE SPEAKING
WITH THE PREMIER SHORTLY.
IF YOU DO NOT COME
WITH ME IMMEDIATELY,
I SHALL HAVE TO INFORM HIM
OF YOUR ACTIONS.
CAN YOU GET ME
THESE HERBS?
SOME OF THEM, YES.
GOOD. BRING THEM
AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
HURRY, DOCTOR.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
THE FOUNDATIONS WERE
CHECKED ONLY LAST WEEK.
THEN THEY WERE NOT
CHECKED THOROUGHLY,
OR ELSE SABOTAGE.
IN EITHER CASE,
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.
WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
COLONEL LAMBERT,
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO.
COLONEL LAMBERT, PLEASE.
THIS IS COLONEL DIETRICH,
ELITE GUARD.
YES.
I HAVE
A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM.
I WANT YOU TO SEND
THE BEST MAN
YOU HAVE AVAILABLE TO THE
NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPLEX.
Yes, this is
an emergency.
WHO?
MR. CHAMBY?
PLEASE.
IT WILL TAKE
SEVERAL MINUTES.
THERE'S HARDLY ANY PULSE.
HIS HEARTBEAT
IS GETTING STRONGER.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
DO NOT THANK ME.
THANK THOSE HERBS,
AND MYASMIN.
SHE'S RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR BEING ALIVE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
ALMOST 3:00.
MR. BOLKANSKI, I ADVISE
YOU LEAVE THE BUILDING
AT ONCE.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
THE FOUNDATIONS
HAVE WEAKENED.
I CAN'T LEAVE.
MY WINDOW. MY WORK.
[ Sternly ]
AT ONCE, MR. BOLKANSKI.
MYASMIN, I HAVE SPOKEN
WITH THE PREMIER.
I'VE INFORMED HIM
THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN STRUCTURAL DEFECTS
IN THE BUILDING.
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS
FOR YOU TO REMAIN.
YOU MUST LEAVE.
NO.
I CANNOT LEAVE HIM.
HE WILL DIE.
ONLY I KNOW WHAT
RARE HERBS HE REQUIRES,
AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM.
NO!
YOU MUST LET HER...
HELP ME.
HE HAS PASSED OUT.
MYASMIN!
I CANNOT LEAVE
WITHOUT HIM.
HAVE MY DRIVER
BRING THE CAR.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]
MR. CHAMBY WILL REQUIRE
BLUEPRINTS
AND SPECIFICATIONS
OF THE ENTIRE COMPLEX,
GENERAL.
I SUGGEST YOU GET THEM.
QUICKLY.
WELL, MR. CHAMBY?
I CANNOT BE CERTAIN,
COLONEL.
BUT JUDGING BY THE SIZE
OF THESE FISSURES,
ONE OF THE MAIN FOUNDATIONS
OF THE BUILDING
HAS LOOSENED OR WEAKENED
SOMEHOW.
IN ANY EVENT,
THE BUILDING IS UNSAFE
AND WILL HAVE TO BE
EVACUATED.
I WILL EVACUATE
THE CIVILIAN TECHNICIANS,
THE MILITARY PERSONNEL.
THE GUARDS WILL STAY.
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND
IN A FEW MINUTES.
YOU BETTER GET READY.
OKAY.
THE BUILDING
HAS BEEN EVACUATED.
MR. CHAMBY IS IN
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR ROOM.
HE DOES NOT WISH
TO BE DISTURBED
WHILE HE COMPLETES
HIS EXAMINATION.
GO.
JIM?
HERE, BARNEY.
MALEK IS
JUST COMING AROUND.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL
HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO CLEAR THE BUILDING.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL
HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO CLEAR THE BUILDING.
NURSE: You are wanted
in corridor "c," doctor.
Has the plasma arrived?
No, Doctor.
Doctor, is she alive?
Yes, she was just
knocked unconscious.
She'll be all right.
What has happened?
I haven't got the time, Colonel.
You must leave the building.
COLONEL...
What happened?
Shortly after
you passed out,
the building
started to collapse.
How do you feel now?
I'M WEAK.
YES.
ONCE I PREPARE THE HERBS,
YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
THAT WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
The time has run out
for me.
No, it has not.
Yes. I cannot postpone death
any longer.
BUT YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO DIE.
NOT NOW.
YES, I DO.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU.
YOU WILL.
Colonel, please.
You must continue to keep
your will to live.
I have ordered the herbs.
They will be here
in just a short time.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
THERE IS SOMETHING
I MUST DO.
WHERE IS COLONEL DIETRICH
AND GENERAL BRENNER?
THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN TAKEN
TO THE HOSPITAL.
HE'S GOING TO
THE REACTOR ROOM, BARNEY.
DEAD CENTER.
1:00, BARNEY.
9:00.
3:00.
7:00.
JIM?
BARNEY, IS THERE
ANYTHING DIFFERENT
ABOUT THE FACE
ON MALEK'S CLOCK?
YES, JIM, IT'S GOT
A SCRATCH ON IT.
HE'S PULLING THE PIN
AT 11:00.
RIGHT, JIM.
WAIT A MINUTE, BARNEY.
I THINK HE KNOWS.
I THINK HE DELIBERATELY
PULLED THE WRONG ONE.
I CAN'T BE SURE, BUT I THINK
IT'S THE ONE AT 5:00.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, JIM.
UNDERSTAND THIS, BARNEY,
I COULD BE WRONG.
I UNDERSTAND, JIM.
JIM, WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU BELIEVE,
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
[ SIGHS ]
YOU WEREN'T WRONG, JIM.
IS THE BUILDING SAFE,
MR. CHAMBY?
YES, IT IS, GENERAL.
THE DEFECTIVE BEAM
IS IN THE BASEMENT.
I WILL SEND A COMPANY OF
ENGINEERS TO REPAIR IT.
RIGHT NOW I MUST MAKE A PERSONAL
REPORT TO THE PREMIER.
I WILL ACCOMPANY YOU,
MR. CHAMBY.
