Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 4, Episode 16 - The Falcon: Part 3 - full transcript
Barney and Phelps use an optical illusion to help them free Stephan from his cell. But, everything goes haywire when an assassination attempt against Sabattini fails and unmasks Paris in the process.

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT,
PRINCE STEPHAN,
IS BEING IMPRISONED
BY THIS MAN,
GENERAL RAMON SABATTINI,
IN ORDER TO FORCE
STEPHAN'S FIANCéE, FRANCESCA,
TO MARRY HIM,
MAKING HIM A LEGITIMATE HEIR
TO THE THRONE.
SABATTINI PLANS
TO ELIMINATE FRANCESCA
AND THE CURRENT MONARCH,
NICOLAI,
AND THEN
ONCE HE'S ON THE THRONE,
TO ALLY WITH OUR ENEMIES.
YOUR MISSION, JIM, SHOULD
YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP SABATTINI
AND RESCUE STEPHAN,
FRANCESCA, AND NICOLAI.
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.
JUST A MINUTE,
I FORGOT LUCIFER'S SIGNAL.
OKAY, BARNEY.
YOUR STRIDE IS EXACTLY
2'11", JIM.
IT'LL TAKE YOU
SEVEN SECONDS.
OUR MOCK-UP LOOKS PERFECT.
THIS IS SEBASTIAN.
HE'LL BE WORKING WITH YOU.
BONE STRUCTURE'S THE SAME.
SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM.
HOW ABOUT THE VOICE?
HE'S BEEN STUDYING.
BARNEY?
Sebastian:
AND NOW, YOUR MAJESTY,
IF YOU WILL GIVE ME
THE NAME
OF SOMEONE
THAT YOU WISH TO SEE.
VERY GOOD.
YOUR MAJESTY,
MAY I PRESENT MY ASSISTANT,
THE GREAT MIND READER,
MADAME VINSKY.
YOUR MAJESTY.
I WILL NEED A VOLUNTEER.
YOUR MAJESTY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
YOUR MAJESTY?
[ AUDIENCE MURMURS ]
DO YOU THINK
YOU HAVE IT?
YES,I THINK
I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WILL IT BE PAINFUL?
NO. THE PILL
WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
DEAR FRIENDS, YOU ARE ABOUT
TO ENTER INTO A UNION
WHICH IS MOST SACRED
AND MOST SERIOUS,
A UNION
WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED --
SHE HAS A GUN!
[ CROWD MURMURS ]
[ GUNSHOT ]
YOU KNEW.
YOU KNEW THAT
IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
YES.
THEN WHY DID YOU
NOT TRY TO STOP IT?
BECAUSE I ALSO FORESEE THAT
SABATTINI'S PLAN WILL FAIL.
HE HAS NO FUTURE.
WHAT ABOUT MY FUTURE?
YOUR FUTURE WOULD BE
BEST DISCUSSED IN PRIVATE.
EVERY STONE IN THE JEWEL ROOM
IS A FAKE.
SHOW MR. BENEDICT IN.
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT,
MR. BENEDICT?
30% OF THE JEWELS.
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE
THEY ARE.
YES, BUT I CAN FIND OUT
WHERE THEY ARE.
HOW?
PRINCE STEPHAN.
BUT HE IS DEAD.
AH, YES.
THAT'S A PITY.
AMONG MY MANY TALENTS
IS PERSUASION.
IF HE WERE ALIVE,
I WOULD MAKE HIM TALK.
FRANCESCA.
FRANCESCA!
Ohhh.
SABATTINI PLANS TO HAVE
YOU KILLED, AND SOON.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
SABATTINI NEEDS ME.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THERE IS A LIST OF OFFICERS
BEING PREPARED.
YES.
IT IS AN EXECUTION LIST...
AND YOUR NAME IS ON IT.
RIGHT TO 49...
LEFT TO 73...
RIGHT 7.
OH, YES, BUT...
THESE ARE THE NAMES
THAT WE HAVE AGREED UPON.
YOU ARE RIGHT, MADAME.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
NOTHING.
FRANCESCA AND I WERE MARRIED
AN HOUR AGO.
LIAR.
I WOULD BE DEAD
IF THAT WERE THE CASE.
YOU ARE ALIVE
BECAUSE OF THIS MAN HERE.
I BELIEVE YOU KNOW
MR. BENEDICT.
I'VE NEVER
MET HIM BEFORE.
NOW YOU ARE THE LIAR.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
THE CROWN JEWELS.
YOU REPLACED THEM
WITH FAKES, REMEMBER?
AND NOW, WITH
MR. BENEDICT'S HELP,
YOU ARE GOING TO TELL US
WHERE YOU HID THEM.
[ SNIFFING ]
[ BEEPING ]
[ BUZZING ]
GAS COMPANY.
THIS IS CAPTAIN AUGUSTINE,
ARNGRIM PRISON.
SEND AN EMERGENCY CREW
OVER HERE IMMEDIATELY.
THERE IS GAS LEAKAGE
SOMEWHERE IN THE PRISON.
AGAIN...
WHERE DID YOU HIDE
THE JEWELS?
I-I DO NOT KNOW
WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
HE DOES NOT APPEAR
TO BE WEAKENING.
HE'S STRONGER
THAN HE LOOKS.
EITHER THAT
OR YOUR DRUG
IS NOT AS EFFECTIVE
AS YOU CLAIM.
HE'LL BREAK.
[ BUZZING ]
GAS COMPANY.
THIS IS CAPTAIN PETROV,
ARNGRIM PRISON.
YES.
YOU WERE JUST NOTIFIED ABOUT
A LEAK HERE AT THE PRISON.
THE CREW WILL BE
LEAVING IN A MINUTE.
THAT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY.
SOMEHOW A GAS JET
WAS TURNED ON BY MISTAKE.
It has all
been taken care of.
I SEE. THANK YOU FOR
NOTIFYING US, CAPTAIN.
I CAN'T GIVE HIM
A STRONGER DOSAGE
FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES.
BUT DON'T WORRY, GENERAL.
HE WILL BREAK.
YOU KEEP
TELLING ME THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
LESS EXCUSES
AND MORE RESULTS.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
GENERAL, COLONEL VARGAS
CALLING FOR YOU.
THIS IS GENERAL SABATTINI.
YES, VARGAS, WHAT IS IT?
A MATTER OF GRAVE URGENCY
HAS JUST COME UP.
EXPLAIN.
I must tell you
in person.
I SUGGEST YOU RETURN
TO THE PALACE IMMEDIATELY.
ALL RIGHT.
HE'S ON HIS WAY.
I'LL BE BACK SHORTLY.
YES, GENERAL.
AND WHEN I RETURN,
I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE SOME PROGRESS.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YES, BUCCARO,
IT WAS GOOD OF YOU TO COME.
DO YOU REMEMBER
WE HAD OFTEN TALKED
OF A FINAL ALTERNATIVE
TO THE SABATTINI PROBLEM?
WE MUST ADOPT
THAT ALTERNATIVE.
YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO
ACCEPT THE ASIAN PROPOSITION?
NO. I HAVE IT
ON VERY GOOD AUTHORITY
THAT THAT WOULD BE
DISASTROUS FOR US.
HOWEVER, WE MUST ADOPT
PART OF THAT PLAN.
SABATTINI
MUST BE ELIMINATED.
WHEN?
TODAY.
HE WILL
BE HERE SHORTLY.
HAVE YOU PREPARED
THE DEVICE?
YES.
IT WAS MEANT FOR
BOTH SABATTINI AND NICOLAI.
WHY NOT KILL THEM BOTH?
HA HA HA HA!
[ PAPER SHUFFLING ]
[ RATTLING ]
DON'T FIGHT IT ANY LONGER,
STEPHAN.
GIVE IN TO IT.
IT WANTS
TO OVERPOWER YOU.
LET IT. LET IT!
I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT THE JEWELS.
[ Quietly ] Stephan,
I'm here to get you out.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
All right,
just listen to me.
We have
an escape plan.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THIS IS SOME
KIND OF A TRICK.
FRANCESCA HAS ALREADY
BEEN RESCUED.
SHE'S SAFE.
SHE'S WAITING FOR YOU.
NO. YOU CAN TELL SABATTINI
HIS GAME WILL NOT WORK.
IT'S NOT GOING TO
COST YOU ANYTHING
TO FIND OUT
WHETHER I'M LYING OR NOT.
THE ONLY COOPERATION I WANT
FROM YOU NOW IS SILENCE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S START AGAIN
FROM THE BEGINNING.
[ LOUD RUMBLING ]
[ RUMBLING STOPS ]
FOR HIS MAJESTY.
ENTER.
A CLOCK THAT YOUR MAJESTY
PURCHASED HAS ARRIVED.
OH, THANK YOU.
JUST PUT IT DOWN OVER THERE.
[ CLOCKS TICK ]
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
YES?
[ DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES ]
IT IS DONE.
GOOD.
I HAVE LEFT ORDERS
FOR US TO BE NOTIFIED
THE MOMENT SABATTINI
REACHES THE PALACE.
HE WILL BE DIRECTED
TO NICOLAI'S ROOM.
HOW WILL
THE BOMB DETONATE?
BY REMOTE CONTROL.
THERE IS A MICROPHONE
IN THE CLOCK.
[ TICKING ]
[ CLICKS ]
[ CLICKS ]
[ BEEPS ]
YOUR STUBBORNNESS
IS ADMIRABLE, STEPHAN.
IT'S ALSO FUTILE.
EVENTUALLY, YOU ARE GOING
TO TELL ME EVERYTHING.
I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE JEWELS.
I WANT TO KNOW
WHERE THE JEWELS ARE.
WHERE DID YOU HIDE THEM?
TELL ME!
HOW CAN I TELL YOU
WHAT I DO NOT KNOW?
SUPPOSE I BROUGHT
FRANCESCA DOWN HERE?
SHE WOULD NOT TELL YOU.
SHE KNOWS NOTHING.
YES, I BELIEVE THAT.
BUT IF I WERE TO USE
CERTAIN METHODS ON HER,
IT MIGHT
START YOU TALKING, HUH?
NOW, WHERE ARE THE JEWELS?
TELL ME! WHERE ARE THEY?!
I DON'T KNOW!
YES. HE HAS ARRIVED.
WHENEVER YOU FEEL THE NEED
TO INTERRUPT
OUR CONVERSATION,
I SHALL BE LISTENING
IN MADAME VINSKY'S ROOM.
[ Clocks tick ]
STEPHAN,
THERE'S VERY LITTLE TIME.
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO CHOICE!
DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU?
DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO FRANCESCA
IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHERE
THE JEWELS ARE HIDDEN?!
WHERE ARE THE JEWELS
HIDDEN, STEPHAN?
[ Clocks tick ]
[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]
COME IN.
IT WILL BE
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
BUT, OF COURSE,
WITH YOUR GIFT,
I NEED NOT TELL YOU HOW
IT WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
NO, YOUR PLAN
IS QUITE SOUND.
YOU ARE TO
BE CONGRATULATED.
THANK YOU.
THEN YOU ALSO APPROVE
OF MY, UH, SLIGHT ADDITION?
NOT ENTIRELY.
NOT ENTIRELY?
WELL, IT SEEMED TO ME
SUCH A PITY
TO WASTE THE BOMB
ON JUST ONE PERSON.
NICOLAI MUST NOT BE KILLED!
WHY?
WHY DOES HE MATTER?
YOU FOOL!
IT WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL!
HOW?
HOW CAN HE HARM ME?
HE CAN.
I HAVE NO TIME TO EXPLAIN.
YOU MU STOP IT IMMEDIATELY!
[ Clocks tick ]
GENERAL SABATTINI,
COLONEL VARGAS REQUESTS
THAT YOU MEET HIM IN
PRINCE NICOLAI'S QUARTERS.
ALL RIGHT.
ENTER.
YOUR MAJESTY?
YES, RAMON,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
[ RINGS ]
I DID NOT
WANT TO SEE ANYONE
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED
TO FRANCESCA.
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
APPARENTLY THERE HAS BEEN
SOME MISUNDERSTANDING.
[ RINGING ]
COLONEL VARGAS ASKED ME
TO COME TO YOUR QUARTERS.
HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO MEET ME HERE.
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
[ Hoarsely ]
THE MAGICIAN.
I WANT COLONEL VARGAS
ARRESTED.
GENERAL SABATTINI...
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
YOU KNOW VERY WELL
WHAT HAS HAPPENED, VARGAS.
BUT THERE WAS A MISTAKE,
GENERAL.
IT WAS MEANT
FOR NICOLAI!
HE ISN'T DEAD
AND HE ISN'T NICOLAI.
THE MAGICIAN!
YOU ARE DEAD, VARGAS,
YOU AND BUCCARO!
GENERAL,
I HAD NO PART IN THIS.
NO PART IN THIS?!
YOU PLANNED IT ALL!
YOU AND MADAME VINSKY!
[ GUNSHOT ]
THE...MIND READER...
SHE IS -- SHE IS STILL HERE.
DO NOT SHOOT.
GENERAL, I BEG OF YOU.
DO NOT SHOOT!
I TOLD YOU, VARGAS...
I WAS THE BEST CHANCE
YOU HAD.
[ GUNSHOT ]
GET THE WOMAN.
ALL RIGHT, STEPHAN,
GENERAL SABATTINI WILL BE
RETURNING VERY SOON.
ONE LAST CHANCE,
STEPHAN.
[ RINGS ]
YOUR STUBBORNNESS
IS ADMIRABLE, STEPHAN.
YES?
JUST A MOMENT.
MR. BENEDICT?
TELEPHONE.
YES.
JIM, TROUBLE.
JUST LISTEN.
SABATTINI IS NOT DEAD.
HE KNOWS ABOUT PARIS.
HE'LL START
TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
[ DOOR RATTLES ]
ALL RIGHT.
[ BEEPS ]
YES.
THIS IS ROGER BENEDICT.
TROUBLE, JIM?
YES. YES.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
WELL, I'LL BE COMING BACK
TO THE HOTEL SOON.
BUT I WANT ABSOLUTELY
NO COMMUNICATIONS HERE.
JIM, YOU WANT ME TO CUT
ALL THE PHONE LINES
COMING INTO THE PRISON,
RIGHT?
YES, THAT'S RIGHT...
GOODBYE.
[ RINGING ]
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
[ RINGS ]
YES!
MAJOR ROUSEK HERE.
HAS THERE BEEN AN ATTEMPT
TO RESCUE PRINCE STEPHAN?
NO, MAJOR.
ARE YOU POSITIVE?
YES, MAJOR.
I'M LOOKING
AT THE PRINCE RIGHT NOW.
HE'S PERFECTLY SECURE.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
HAVE YOU
ANYTHING TO SAY?
NO.
STEPHAN...
IF YOU DON'T CHANGE
YOUR ATTITUDE,
THIS WILL BE
OUR LAST CONVERSATION.
YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.
Jim: STEPHAN, YOU DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE,
NOTHING AT ALL.
SIR, I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO GAIN.
IT IS AS I
SUSPECTED, GENERAL --
FRANCESCA IS NOT
IN HER TOMB.
ALL RIGHT.
WHERE IS SHE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.
YOU HAD A VERY GOOD PLAN.
THROUGH THE GUISE
OF A MAGIC ACT,
YOU SUBSTITUTED YOURSELF
FOR NICOLAI.
YOU THEN KILLED FRANCESCA.
THEN YOU RESURRECTED HER
FROM HER CRYPT.
AND AS FOR YOU, MADAME VINSKY,
OR...
WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS,
YOU PERSUADED
VARGAS TO KILL ME --
PROBABLY FOR THE PRICE
OF THE JEWELS.
THERE IS ONE THING
I DON'T UNDERSTAND --
WHY? THERE IS NO WAY
OF RESCUING STEPHAN.
BENEDICT.
ARNGRIM PRISON.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
IT'S DEAD.
THEY MUST HAVE DESTROYED ALL
THE TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS.
HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT AROUND.
GENERAL, YOU MUST WAIT
FOR THE DOCTOR.
GET MY CAR!
I WANT THEM KEPT ALIVE.
THEY CAN TELL ME WHERE
THE JEWELS ARE HIDDEN --
AND YOU WILL TELL ME!
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
YES?
I BELIEVE SOMETHING
IS FAULTY
WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM'S
WIRING, MAJOR.
THERE APPEARS TO BE
NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF.
SABOTAGE?
NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN
TAMPERED WITH, MAJOR.
WELL, GET SOMEONE OVER HERE
TO REPAIR IT IMMEDIATELY!
ONE WILL HAVE
TO BE SENT FOR.
APPARENTLY THE OUTSIDE
TELEPHONE LINES
HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ALSO.
No one can call out.
[ BEEPS ]
[ COUGHING ]
FASTER!
[ COUGHING ]
[ SCREECHING ]
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]

[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
STEPHAN,
DO YOU REALIZE
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS
THAN A CLEAN DEATH?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT GENERAL
SABATTINI CAN DO TO YOU?
HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT?
I HAVE
NOTHING TO SAY.
WHERE ARE
THE JEWELS?
TELL ME!
TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!
I DON'T KNOW.
STEPHAN,
I'LL MAKE A DEAL
WITH SABATTINI.
HE'LL SAY ANYTHING.
HE'LL KILL ME ANYWAY.
NO. NO, HE WON'T,
I PROMISE YOU.
I WILL TALK
TO HIM MYSELF.
I PROMISE YOU,
IF YOU TELL ME
WHERE THE JEWELS ARE,
SABATTINI WILL NOT
DO ANYTHING TO YOU.
TELL ME WHERE
THE JEWELS ARE!
YOU'VE SAID THAT
AND I -- I DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT.

RIGHT?
YES, THAT'S RIGHT...
GOODBYE.
[ RINGING ]
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
[ RINGS ]
YES!
MAJOR ROUSEK HERE.
HAS THERE BEEN AN ATTEMPT
TO RESCUE PRINCE STEPHAN?
NO, MAJOR.
ARE YOU POSITIVE?
YES, MAJOR.
I'M LOOKING
AT THE PRINCE RIGHT NOW.
HE'S PERFECTLY SECURE.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
HAVE YOU
ANYTHING TO SAY?
NO.
STEPHAN...
IF YOU DON'T CHANGE
YOUR ATTITUDE,
THIS WILL BE
OUR LAST CONVERSATION.
YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.
Jim: STEPHAN, YOU DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE,
NOTHING AT ALL.
SIR, I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO GAIN.
IT IS AS I
SUSPECTED, GENERAL --
FRANCESCA IS NOT
IN HER TOMB.
ALL RIGHT.
WHERE IS SHE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.
YOU HAD A VERY GOOD PLAN.
THROUGH THE GUISE
OF A MAGIC ACT,
YOU SUBSTITUTED YOURSELF
FOR NICOLAI.
YOU THEN KILLED FRANCESCA.
THEN YOU RESURRECTED HER
FROM HER CRYPT.
AND AS FOR YOU, MADAME VINSKY,
OR...
WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS,
YOU PERSUADED
VARGAS TO KILL ME --
PROBABLY FOR THE PRICE
OF THE JEWELS.
THERE IS ONE THING
I DON'T UNDERSTAND --
WHY? THERE IS NO WAY
OF RESCUING STEPHAN.
BENEDICT.
ARNGRIM PRISON.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
IT'S DEAD.
THEY MUST HAVE DESTROYED ALL
THE TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS.
HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT AROUND.
GENERAL, YOU MUST WAIT
FOR THE DOCTOR.
GET MY CAR!
I WANT THEM KEPT ALIVE.
THEY CAN TELL ME WHERE
THE JEWELS ARE HIDDEN --
AND YOU WILL TELL ME!
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
YES?
I BELIEVE SOMETHING
IS FAULTY
WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM'S
WIRING, MAJOR.
THERE APPEARS TO BE
NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF.
SABOTAGE?
NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN
TAMPERED WITH, MAJOR.
WELL, GET SOMEONE OVER HERE
TO REPAIR IT IMMEDIATELY!
ONE WILL HAVE
TO BE SENT FOR.
APPARENTLY THE OUTSIDE
TELEPHONE LINES
HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ALSO.
No one can call out.

STEPHAN,
DO YOU REALIZE
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS
THAN A CLEAN DEATH?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT GENERAL
SABATTINI CAN DO TO YOU?
HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT?
I HAVE
NOTHING TO SAY.
WHERE ARE
THE JEWELS?
TELL ME!
TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!
I DON'T KNOW.
STEPHAN,
I'LL MAKE A DEAL
WITH SABATTINI.
HE'LL SAY ANYTHING.
HE'LL KILL ME ANYWAY.
NO. NO, HE WON'T,
I PROMISE YOU.
I WILL TALK
TO HIM MYSELF.
I PROMISE YOU,
IF YOU TELL ME
WHERE THE JEWELS ARE,
SABATTINI WILL NOT
DO ANYTHING TO YOU.
TELL ME WHERE
THE JEWELS ARE!
YOU'VE SAID THAT
AND I -- I DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT.
