Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 4, Episode 2 - The Numbers Game - full transcript
The IMF stages World War III complete with a nuclear holocaust, all for the benefit of one man, a former dictator who plans to return to power through an invasion funded by $600,000,000 he secreted away. With his invasion made pointless by the fictitious war, will he give up his booty to save his skin?
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
AFTER FIVE YEARS IN EXILE,
GENERAL RADOS GOLLAN,
THE DEPOSED DICTATOR
OF LUXANIA,
IS READY TO LAUNCH THE INVASION
WHICH WILL RETURN HIM TO POWER.
SUCH AN INVASION
WOULD SUCCEED IN OVERTHROWING
THE PRESENT DEMOCRATIC REGIME
AND LEAD TO GENERAL WAR
IN THE AREA.
GOLLAN INTENDS TO PAY
HIS MERCENARY ARMY
WITH FUNDS
FROM THE $600 MILLION HE STOLE
DURING HIS TENURE OF OFFICE.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP GOLLAN.
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 RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
Man: THE ROADS MUST BE KEPT FREE
FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC.
THESE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARE BROADCAST EVERY HALF-HOUR
ON THIS STATION...
LOOKS LIKE A WEAK,
DISTANT SIGNAL, BARNEY.
GOOD.
[ SWITCH CLICKS ]
IT'S A SECOND-GENERATION
DUPE, JIM.
NOW, THE FINAL, EDITED TAPES
WILL BE JUST AS BAD.
THROUGH USE OF AN OVERRIDE,
WE'LL HAVE NO PROBLEMS
CONVERTING
GOLLAN'S TELEVISION
INTO A CLOSED-CIRCUIT
RECEPTION.
THERE'S NO DANGER OF
PICKING UP ANY REAL CHANNELS?
NONE AT ALL.
NOW, THESE ARE
EXACT DUPLICATES
OF GOLLAN'S RADIOS.
THE ONE FOR THE BEDROOM
IS RIGGED WITH
A CASSETTE TAPE RECORDING.
THAT'S FINE, BARNEY.
DR. ZIEGLER?
I HAVE ARRANGED
THAT BY TOMORROW,
GENERAL GOLLAN WILL HAVE
WHAT APPEARS TO BE
A SEVERE CASE OF PNEUMONIA.
THAT SHOULD MAKE
BOTH EVA GOLLAN
AND MAJOR DENESCH,
THE GENERAL'S AIDE, HAPPY.
THEY BOTH WANT
THE GENERAL'S WEALTH
TO FULFILL
THEIR PERSONAL AMBITIONS,
AND RIGHT NOW,
EVA HAS THE UPPER HAND,
BUT HER ACTIONS ARE GOING TO
BE HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE.
I'LL KEEP HER BUSY,
BUT, UH, WHAT ABOUT DENESCH?
HE'LL BE WATCHING HER
CLOSELY, WILLY.
NOW, ONCE YOU GIVE HER
THE PHONY BANK NUMBERS,
SHE'LL LEAVE THE SCHLOSS,
AND HE'LL FOLLOW HER.
HOW WILL WE KNOW WE HAVE
THE RIGHT NUMBER, JIM?
THE GENERAL DOESN'T TRUST
HIS MEMORY, TRACEY,
SO HE'S PUT THE BANK NUMBER
ONTO A COMPUTER.
ONLY HE KNOWS
HOW TO OPERATE IT.
HOW MUCH TIME
DO WE HAVE, JIM?
THE GENERAL'S LAWYER
IS DUE TO ARRIVE
AT THE BANK IN ZURICH
AT ABOUT 3:30.
THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO
SEND THE CORRECT NUMBER BY 3:00
TO GIVE THEM TIME
TO EMPTY HIS VAULT.
CAN WE BREAK GOLLAN
BY 3:00?
YES...IF WE CAN
MAKE HIM BELIEVE
THAT YOU'LL KILL ME
AND SAVE HIM.
[ COUGHING ]
YOU CAN INFORM COLONEL SABATIER
THAT EVEN THOUGH
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
GO TO THE BANK IN PERSON,
HE WILL RECEIVE THE $90 MILLION
DOWN PAYMENT TODAY.
I HAVE ALREADY COMMUNICATED
MY BANK NUMBER IN ZURICH
TO A LAWYER.
THE...MONEY WILL BE WITHDRAWN
AT 3:30 O'CLOCK.
COLONEL SABATIER
WILL RECEIVE IT THEN,
AS ALREADY ARRANGED.
I HAVE DRAWN UP THIS DOCUMENT
TO PROTECT OUR MUTUAL GOALS.
[ PAPERS RUSTLE ]
BUT --
THIS GIVES YOU COMPLETE
CONTROL OVER MY ESTATE!
AND I HAVE ALREADY MADE
ARRANGEMENTS AFTER MY DEATH.
YES, I KNOW.
MADAME GOLLAN IS TO MEET
SOME...UNKNOWN LAWYER
AND RECEIVE YOUR HOLDINGS.
I HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED
ENTIRELY.
HOWEVER...
MADAME GOLLAN HAS NEVER SHOWN
ANY PARTICULAR INTEREST
IN YOUR POLITICS
OR YOUR GOALS, GENERAL.
I AM AFRAID THAT UNDER
THE PRESENT ARRANGEMENTS,
YOUR WIFE WILL NOT USE
YOUR WEALTH TO RETAKE LUXANIA.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO EVA.
SHE HAS PROMISED.
SHE HAS GIVEN ME ASSURANCES
THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE
WITH MY PLANS,
AND THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE
AS SECOND IN COMMAND.
WOMEN, UH...
WOMEN ARE NOTORIOUS FOR
CHANGING THEIR MIND, GENERAL.
WHAT ARE YOU
ACCUSING EVA OF?
NOTHING.
BUT IF YOU SIGN
THIS DOCUMENT,
YOU WILL BE PROTECTING
YOUR DESIRES COMPLETELY.
I MAKE THE SAME GUARANTEE
AS EVA HAS.
EVERY ONE OF YOUR WISHES
WILL REMAIN THE SAME
AS YOU WOULD DICTATE IT.
I SHALL HARDLY BE IN A POSITION
WHEN I AM DEAD
TO DICTATE ANYTHING.
[ COUGHING ]
DR. ZIEGLER?
MADAME GOLLAN.
HOW IS THE GENERAL TODAY?
MUCH WORSE, DOCTOR.
HAS HE TAKEN THE TABLETS?
BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE
STOPPED THE PAIN,
AND THE COUGH
IS DEFINITELY WORSE.
I'M SURPRISED. I --
OH, DR. ZIEGLER.
GOOD MORNING.
YOU WILL BOTH WAIT
RIGHT HERE, PLEASE.
HE DID NOT TELL YOU YET,
DID HE?
TELL ME WHAT?
MY HUSBAND'S TIME
IS RUNNING OUT,
JUST AS YOURS IS, ALEX.
AND SO IS LUXANIA'S.
HAS IT BEEN SO DIFFICULT
LIVING IN EXILE?
NOT FOR THOSE WHO LIVE
A LIFE WITHOUT PURPOSE.
WHAT WILL YOU DO
AFTER HE'S DEAD?
WILL YOU FIND ANOTHER
GENERAL GOLLAN?
ANOTHER LUXANIA?
HE IS NOT DEAD YET.
[ COUGHING ]
NURSE?
[ COUGHING ]
[ SIGHS ] HOW SERIOUS?
OH, IT IS DIFFICULT
TO SAY.
I WOULD LIKE HONESTY,
DOCTOR.
YOU HAVE A CHANCE.
NOW, I MUST LEAVE.
LEAVE?! NO!
YOU MUST NOT GO!
I HAVE TO GO
TO THE CAPITAL --
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS,
URGENT.
I WILL BE BACK
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DR. WESSELL IS STANDING BY
AT THE HOSPITAL
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
NURSE!
YES, DOCTOR?
YOU WILL SEE THAT
HE IS NOT DISTURBED.
YES, DOCTOR.
[ COUGHING ]
[ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ]
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
Man: WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM
TO BRING YOU
A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
AN OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN
FOR THE GOVERNMENT
HAS JUST CONFIRMED
EARLIER RUMORS
THAT ARMIES OF THE EUROPEAN
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
HAVE CONCENTRATED
NEAR OUR BORDER.
AN OFFICIAL REQUEST
FROM THE GOVERNMENT
THAT THE E.P.R. REMOVE
ITS FORCES HAS BEEN REJECTED.
OUR GOVERNMENT HAS NOW MADE
AN URGENT APPEAL
TO THE UNITED NATIONS
FOR AN EMERGENCY DEBATE
ON THE CRISIS.
FOR SEVERAL DAYS,
RUMORS OF A DEEPENING RIFT
IN THE E.P.R. HAD BEEN DENI--
TELL MADAME GOLLAN
TO COME TO THE GENERAL'S ROOM
IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT IS IT?
GET DR. ZIEGLER BACK.
HE HAS ALREADY LEFT.
I AM PUTTING THROUGH A CALL
TO DR. WESSELL AT THE HOSPITAL.
WILL HE REGAIN
CONSCIOUSNESS, DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE IS VERY WEAK.
Denesch: YOU MUST
BRING HIM AROUND.
IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT I SPEAK TO HIM.
IF HE RECOVERS
CONSCIOUSNESS,
I WILL SEND FOR YOU
IMMEDIATELY.
IF HE RECOVERS!
MY DEAR DOCTOR --
PLEASE, WHY DON'T WE
STOP THIS CONVERSATION
AND GET HIM
TO THE HOSPITAL?
NO TIME. WE MUST PERFORM
A TRACHEOTOMY IMMEDIATELY.
TO EASE HIS BREATHING.
ALL CLEAR.
CLEAR.
[ AIR HISSING ]
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND
IN A FEW MINUTES.
HOW IS HE?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WE WILL BEGIN
THE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.
HE GAINED CONSCIOUSNESS
BRIEFLY.
HE COULD NOT SPEAK,
BUT HE DID MANAGE
TO WRITE DOWN THIS MESSAGE.
THANK YOU.
GIVE ME THIS NUMBER.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO?
VALHALLAH?
[ MAN SPEAKING IN DISTANCE ]
Man: 43 CALLING ANYBODY.
COME IN.
I HAVE THE VIDEO.
THERE'S NO SOUND.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
THE FREQUENCY ON THE RADIO.
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
Paris: THIS IS
FRONTIER UNIT NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q. --
COME IN.
ANYTHING?
NOTHING, SIR.
ANYTHING, SERGEANT?
NO, NOTHING.
KEEP TRYING.
DIVISION H.Q.,
COME IN, PLEASE.
DIVISION H.Q., COME IN.
THIS IS FRONTIER UNIT
NUMBER 43 --
YOU ARE VERY WEAK,
GENERAL.
YOU MUST LIE DOWN.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
I WILL EXPLAIN WHEN
YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.
BUT...WHY ARE WE DOWN HERE
IN THE BUNKER?
YOU MUST REST.
YOU ARE IN NO CONDITION.
I WANT TO KNOW --
WHO ARE THESE MEN?
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
SILENCE!
[ COUGHING ]
Man: OFFICIAL ADMINISTRATIVE
INFORMATION RELEASE NUMBER 106.
DUE TO THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF
RADIATION AROUND THE CAPITAL,
ALL RESERVOIRS
HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED.
FOLLOWING FIERCE FIGHTING
ALONG THE ZANSTED LINE,
THE ARMY OF THE NORTH
HAS BEEN FORCED
TO MAKE
A STRATEGIC WITHDRAWAL.
THIS FURTHER ORDER
HAS BEEN ISSUED
BY THE MINISTER
OF HOME SECURITY.
STRICT MARTIAL LAW IS ENFORCED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
NO ONE IS TO ATTEMPT
TO LEAVE THEIR HOME AREA.
THE ROADS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR
FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC.
THESE OFFICIAL
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARE BROADCAST EVERY HALF-HOUR
ON THIS STATION AND OVER
MEDIUM-WAVE RADIO BAND.
I HAVE JUST BEEN HANDED
A BULLETIN.
THE FREE DEMOCRACIES
OF WESTERN HEMISPHERE
HAVE BEEN DECLARED
THAT A STATE OF WAR NOW EXISTS
BETWEEN THEM AND
THE EUROPEAN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
AND THOSE COUNTRIES
ALIGNED WITH THEM
IN THIS, THE WORLD'S DARKEST --
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
WORLD WAR III
IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
Paris: THIS IS
FRONTIER UNIT NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q.
COME IN.
[ STATIC HISSING ]
[ SIGHS ]
DEAD.
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
[ MAN GROANS ]
SEE TO HIM.
HE'S BURNING UP
WITH FEVER, CAPTAIN.
DOCTOR.
[ COUGHING ]
YOU MUST GET BACK
TO THE OTHER ROOM.
YOU MUST LIE DOWN.
BUT I WANT TO --
AND PLEASE,
DON'T TRY TO TALK!
DOCTOR.
[ COUGHING ]
I WILL BE BACK WITH YOU
IN A MOMENT.
THIS IS FRONTIER UNIT
NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q.
COME IN, PLEASE.
CAPTAIN,
THIS MAN IS DYING.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE
I CAN DO FOR HIM.
KEEP HIM ALIVE.
TELL ME HOW.
JUST KEEP HIM ALIVE,
DOCTOR.
PENICILLIN IS THE ONLY
THING THAT WILL HELP HIM,
AND I'VE USED ALL MINE.
Paris: THIS IS
FRONTIER UNIT NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q.
COME IN.
THIS IS ALL WE HAVE.
WHO ARE YOU?
GENERAL, TALKING WILL
ONLY WORSEN YOUR CONDITION.
GO BACK AND LIE DOWN.
I WILL COME TO YOU
AS SOON AS I'M THROUGH.
KEEP WORKING ON THE RADIO.
WHO ARE YOU?
GENERAL, YOU MUST REST.
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THESE MEN ARE DOING HERE.
WE ARE RENTING THE PLACE
FOR THE SUMMER, GENERAL.
I TOLD YOU
TO STAY ON THE PHONE.
IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF YOU WERE OUT OF THE WAY
IN THE OTHER ROOM.
GENERAL, I WILL EXPLAIN
AS SOON
AS I AM FINISHED HERE.
I DEMAND TO KNOW
WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING HERE!
SERGEANT,
TAKE HIM BACK!
CAPTAIN,
THIS IS A VERY SICK MAN.
THEN HE SHOULD LIE DOWN.
TAKE HIM, SERGEANT.
[ Coughing ]
LET GO OF ME.
THEN I WILL ATTEND TO HIM.
NO, YOU WILL STAY
WITH THE PRISONER.
IT WILL TAKE
ONLY A MOMENT.
BESIDES, THIS MAN
NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.
THIS MAN IS OF
NO MILITARY IMPORTANCE.
HE IS NO USE TO ME!
YOU WILL STAY WITH HIM!
NO.
I WILL DO NO MORE
FOR THAT MAN
UNTIL I AM ALLOWED
TO TEND TO GENERAL GOLLAN.
VERY WELL, DOCTOR.
[ GASPING ]
[ COUGHS ]
WHO ARE THESE MEN?
THEY ARE FRONTIER GUARDS.
WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL.
THEY ARE NOT
REGULAR ARMY.
I DO NOT KNOW VERY MUCH
ABOUT THIS, BUT APPARENTLY,
THE E.P.R. COLONEL CAME
TO DEMAND THEIR SURRENDER,
BUT THEY TOOK HIM PRISONER,
AND THE CAPTAIN
WANTS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE
BECAUSE HE THINKS
THAT THE COLONEL
MAY HAVE VITAL INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT
TO OUR ARMY.
Paris: YOU'RE PUSHING ME
TOO FAR, CAPTAIN.
STOP PLAYING THE MARTINET.
I AM GOING TO MAINTAIN
DISCIPLINE DOWN HERE.
I TOLD YOU
TO STAY ON THE PHONE.
WHY? YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO GET ANYONE.
AND EVEN IF YOU DO,
HE'S GOING TO DIE.
YOU'LL NEVER GET HIM TO TALK --
HE'S DYING.
WELL, YOU HAD BETTER HOPE,
FOR YOUR SAKE,
THAT HE DOES TALK,
BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T
AND HE DIES,
I AM GOING
TO COURT-MARTIAL YOU
FOR SHOOTING HIM
IN THE BACK!
[ SIGHS ]
HOW DID WE
GET DOWN HERE?
WELL, I, UH...
I WAS ON MY WAY
TO THE CAPITAL
WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS
OF THE AIR RAID,
AND AFTER THAT, EVERYTHING
HAPPENED SO FAST.
I RUSHED BACK HERE,
FOUND YOU UNCONSCIOUS,
MANAGED TO GET YOU
INTO THE ELEVATOR,
AND THEY ARRIVED
A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT.
AND IT WAS THEN
THAT I HEARD
THAT THE CAPITAL HAD BEEN
DESTROYED BY AN ATOMIC BLAST.
EVA...WHERE IS SHE?
WHERE IS SHE?!
UP THERE.
THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
DOCTOR, THE COLONEL
NEEDS YOU.
OUT OF MY WAY.
OUT OF MY WAY!
I MUST GET TO EVA!
NO!
GENERAL, NO, NO!
HELLO?
HELLO?
[ THUMPS ]
GET OUT OF MY WAY!
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
FOR HER OR FOR ANY OF THEM!
IF YOU GO UP THERE, GENERAL,
I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU BACK.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IT'S RADIOACTIVE
UP THERE.
RADIOACTIVE?!
YES.
IF YOU WISH TO JOIN YOUR WIFE,
THAT IS YOUR DECISION.
HOW LONG...BEFORE
WE CAN GO UP THERE?
WEEKS, PERHAPS MONTHS.
MAYBE NEVER.
VALHALLAH IS THE CODE WORD
FOR A LETTER
THE GENERAL HAS DEPOSITED
WITH OUR LAW FIRM.
WHAT DOES THIS LETTER
CONTAIN?
THE NUMBERS OF THE GENERAL'S
SECRET BANK ACCOUNT.
I WOULD LIKE THAT INFORMATION
AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND DIES.
I AM SURE THERE WILL BE
NO PROBLEM AFTER THE AUTOPSY.
THERE WILL BE NO AUTOPSY.
WELL, AFTER
THE FUNERAL, THEN.
I WANT IT
AS SOON AS HE'S DEAD.
I SUPPOSE YOU COULD COME BACK
TO THE OFFICE WITH ME.
COULD YOU HAVE THEM
TELEPHONE IT THROUGH HERE?
YES, I SUPPOSE SO,
MADAME GOLLAN.
YOU ARE MOST KIND.
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
DOCTOR?
THE GENERAL
IS SERIOUSLY ILL.
HIS CONDITION IS CRITICAL.
HE ALSO MUST HAVE
PENICILLIN.
IS THERE ENOUGH
TO KEEP THEM BOTH ALIVE?
I'M SORRY, DOCTOR.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
NO! NO, I MUST HAVE IT!
I'M SORRY, GENERAL.
I SYMPATHIZE, BUT
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES --
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND!
I CANNOT AFFORD
TO UNDERSTAND.
[ Crying ] IF I DO NOT HAVE
THE PENICILLIN, I WILL DIE!
YES, THIS IS A TIME
OF GREAT PERSONAL SACRIFICE
FOR US ALL.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY HAS PROBABLY
ALREADY BEEN DECIMATED.
I DO NOT WANT SPEECHES.
I WANT THE PENICILLIN.
NO! NO MORE ARGUMENTS.
I-I MUST HAVE IT.
I MUST HAVE IT.
TAKE HIM, DOCTOR.
CAPTAIN, I APPEAL TO YOU.
THIS OTHER MAN
CANNOT POSSIBLY LIVE.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
ZIEGLER, TELL HIM
I MUST HAVE THE PENICILLIN.
PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR
TO HIM.
UNDERSTAND --
MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND.
ON MY HUSBAND'S BEHALF,
I HAVE DECIDED TO POSTPONE
THE INVASION INDEFINITELY.
I WANTED YOU TO BE
THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW.
YOU CANNOT DO THAT.
"CANNOT"?
YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SAY
ABOUT ANYTHING ANYMORE...
ALEX.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
WHO IS IT?
MAJOR DENESCH.
OPEN THE DOOR AT ONCE!
I'M SORRY,
BUT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES ]
I MUST GET DOWN
TO THE BUNKER IMMEDIATELY!
NOW, OPEN THE DOOR!
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN OPERATION.
IF YOU DO NOT
OPEN THIS DOOR IMMEDIATELY,
I WILL HAVE IT OPENED!
PLEASE,
JUST A MOMENT.
TROUBLE. DENESCH IS COMING
DOWN TO THE BUNKER.
DENESCH COMING DOWN.
DOCTOR, COME HERE.
TROUBLE.
PUT HIM OUT, FAST.
PENICILLIN?
NO. IT'S ONLY
A SEDATIVE.
THIS IS
YOUR LAST WARNING!
OPEN THE DOOR!
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE!
[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
MAJOR, REALLY,
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS
THAT MUST BE TAKEN.
YOU MUST WEAR THIS MASK.
OUT OF MY WAY!
CLOSE IT!
YOU MUST LIE STILL,
GENERAL.
YOU MUST LIE STILL.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU PASSED OUT.
Paris: OUR EQUIPMENT
IS NOT DEAD.
IT IS JUST THAT THERE IS
NO ONE AROUND UP THERE
TO RECEIVE OUR SIGNAL.
NO ARGUMENTS!
TRY IT!
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE,
CAPTAIN.
I DON'T KNOW
WHY YOU SPEND
ANY TIME WITH HIM
AT ALL.
HE CANNOT BE SAVED.
THAT WAS YOUR DECISION.
YES.
GET TO WORK!
YES, SIR.
I WILL TRY
AND RAISE THE DEAD, SIR,
IF THAT IS YOUR ORDER, SIR!
[ STATIC HISSING ]
[ HISSING CONTINUES ]
HOW LONG HAVE I GOT,
DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
NOT VERY LONG.
IF I HAD PENICILLIN?
YOU WOULD HAVE A CHANCE.
[ COUGHING ]
I WILL TALK
TO THE CAPTAIN AGAIN.
I MUST GO NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU...DOING?
GO TO SLEEP, OLD MAN.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
[ Sarcastically ]
SOUVENIRS.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE
IN THERE.
Captain: ANYTHING?
NO, SIR.
ONLY STATIC SO FAR, SIR.
THE WHOLE WORLD
IS COMING APART,
AND HE'S STILL ON MY BACK!
[ CLATTERING ]
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
WHY DON'T YOU DO
THE CAPTAIN A FAVOR
AND HURRY UP AND DIE?
YOU DO NOT LIKE
THE CAPTAIN, DO YOU?
NO. I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM
SOONER OR LATER.
HE CANNOT STAY AWAKE
MUCH LONGER.
I COULD MAKE IT
WORTH YOUR WHILE
IF YOU WOULD DO IT
SOONER.
YOU SAID THERE WAS
NOTHING OF VALUE IN THERE.
THERE ISN'T.
BUT THERE IS...
THERE IS A SAFE DOWN HERE
WHICH HAS
VALUABLES IN IT.
I COULD GIVE YOU
THE COMBINATION
IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE PENICILLIN.
NO. I'LL WAIT
UNTIL HE'S ASLEEP.
THEN I'LL GET HIS GUN.
NO! I HAVE NOT
GOT THAT LONG.
IT MUST BE --
IT MUST BE NOW.
NO, HE'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO JUMP.
I WOULD BE KILLING
MY ONLY CHANCE.
LISTEN TO ME.
I HAVE A PLAN!
[ Gasping ]
LISTEN! AND THEN --
THEN MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
AGAIN, MADAME GOLLAN,
MY CONDOLENCES.
YES, DOCTOR.
NOW, IF YOU WILL SIGN THE
DEATH CERTIFICATE, PLEASE...
YES, OF COURSE.
NURSE.
HERE, DOCTOR.
EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER,
MADAME.
I THINK IT WOULD BE
MORE COMFORTABLE
IF WE CONCLUDED MATTERS
IN MY OFFICE.
THE GENERAL
WANTS TO SEE YOU.
SAYS IT IS URGENT.
IN A MOMENT.
All right, Barney.
Man: THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT

HERE IS AN IMPORTANT
NEWS FLASH.
UNCONFIRMED REPORTS SAY
THAT OUR MISSILES HAVE
DESTROYED SEVERAL MAJOR CITIES
OF THE EUROPEAN PEOPLE'S
REPUBLIC
IN A REPRISAL
FOR LAST NIGHT'S DESTRUCTION
OF LONDON, PARIS,
ZURICH BY E.P.R.
EARLY REPORTS
THAT THE ARMY OF THE SOUTH
CAPITULATED THIS MORNING
HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.
HOWEVER, THE ARMY OF THE NORTH
HAS MANAGED TO DISENGAGE ITSELF
FROM SUPERIOR ENEMY FORCES
AND HAS WITHDRAWN
TO STRATEGIC DEFENSIVE
POSITIONS WEST OF THE CAPITAL.
ALL RESERVE AND
HOME GUARD UNITS ARE ORDERED --
[ COUGHING ]
WHAT IS IT?
COME CLOSER.
MOST IMPORTANT.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.
WHAT IS IT?
I WANT YOU TO...
I WANT YOU...
GET BACK!
DO NOT INTERFERE,
DOCTOR.
THE SERGEANT AND I
HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT.
HE WILL GIVE US
THE PENICILLIN.
AFTER WE HAVE TAKEN CARE
OF THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU
INTEND TO DO?
GIVE ME THE GUN.
SERGEANT, GIVE IT TO ME.
I WILL GIVE YOU THE GUN,
CAPTAIN, PIECE BY PIECE,
STARTING WITH THE BULLETS.
SERGEANT!
OHH!
THE MAN IS DEAD.
YOU PLANNED THIS
WITH HIM!
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
I WILL SEE THAT YOU --
YOU ARE BEGINNING
TO SOUND LIKE THE CAPTAIN!
PLEASE, ZIEGLER.
IT WAS UNFORTUNATE
BUT NECESSARY.
NOW...GIVE ME
THE PENICILLIN.
YOU SHOW ME THE VAULT.
VERY WELL.
YES, YES.
READ IT, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
MADAME GOLLAN, THIS CAN
ONLY BE DONE IN PRIVATE.
ONLY YOU ARE TO KNOW
THE NUMBER.
THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
HERR HAUFMANN.
EVA IS NOT TO KNOW
THE NUMBER AT ALL.
BUT I DO NOT
UNDERSTAND THIS.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
JUST A GAME...
ONE THAT IS OVER.
ACCEPT IT, ALEX.
YOU HAVE LOST.
NOW LEAVE.
EVA HAS NO RIGHT
TO THE GENERAL'S PROPERTY.
ARE YOU MAD?!
EARLIER THIS MORNING,
THE GENERAL SIGNED A DOCUMENT
WHICH COUNTERMANDED
ANY PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS.
IN THIS DOCUMENT, HE NAMES ME
AS SOLE HEIR TO HIS ESTATE.
YOU ARE LYING!
NO, EVA.
THE GENERAL
FINALLY SAW THROUGH YOU
JUST BEFORE HE DIED,
AS I DID THREE YEARS AGO.
THE GENERAL KNEW
YOU COULD NOT BE TRUSTED
TO BACK COLONEL SABATIER
IN THE INVASION.
HE KNEW THAT ONLY I
COULD BE TRUSTED TO DO THAT.
OH, THIS IS VERY CONFUSING --
A CONFLICT OF DOCUMENTS.
HE'S LYING.
THERE IS NO DOCUMENT.
YES, THERE IS.
IT IS IN THE SAFE,
DOWN IN THE BUNKER.
ALL OF THIS
IS, UH, VERY IRREGULAR.
I AM AFRAID
THIS WHOLE MATTER
WILL HAVE TO BE SETTLED
IN COURT.
HE'S LYING.
I'LL GET THE GUARDS.
KILLING ME WON'T GET YOU
TO MY HUSBAND'S ESTATE.
NO.
BUT SHOWING THE DOCUMENT
TO HERR HAUFMANN WILL.
WE WILL GO DOWN
TO THE BUNKER...NOW.
[ COUGHING ]
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY'S
CURRENCY! IT'S WORTHLESS!
NO, NO, NO!
YOU MUST NOT. PLEASE.
I DID NOT KNOW.
I FORGOT CURRENCY
WOULD BE WORTHLESS.
LISTEN...LISTEN.
I HAVE ANOTHER VAULT.
REALLY?
YES, YES.
IT IS IN ZURICH,
SWITZERLAND.
AND IT IS PROBABLY FULL OF
WORTHLESS CURRENCY LIKE THIS!
YES, YES.
BUT THERE IS ALSO GOLD.
HOW MUCH?
MILLIONS, MILLIONS.
YOU'RE LYING!
NO. IT IS THE TRUTH.
LOOK, I CAN PROVE IT.
HERE --
I HAVE A STATEMENT,
AN INVENTORY OF ALL
THE ASSETS IN THE BANK.
LOOK, READ IT OVER --
MILLIONS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MADAME GOLLAN,
I WAS ABOUT TO --
NOT NOW, DOCTOR.
THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU MUST TALK ABOUT --
THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
YES, THAT WILL ALL BE
TAKEN CARE OF LATER. MOVE!
WE HAVE MORE URGENT BUSINESS
TO CONSIDER.
DENESCH AND EVA
ARE ON THEIR WAY DOWN.
DENESCH HAS A GUN.
I...I WILL TELL YOU
THE NUMBER
OF THE SWISS ACCOUNT
IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE PENICILLIN.
4...9...7...4...3.
YOU COULD BE TELLING ME
ANY NUMBERS.
I SWEAR,
THAT IS THE RIGHT NUMBER!
I FED THE NUMBER
INTO THE COMPUTER MEMORY BANK
IN CASE I FORGOT.
YOU SEE,
I WILL TYPE MY NAME.

Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
AFTER FIVE YEARS IN EXILE,
GENERAL RADOS GOLLAN,
THE DEPOSED DICTATOR
OF LUXANIA,
IS READY TO LAUNCH THE INVASION
WHICH WILL RETURN HIM TO POWER.
SUCH AN INVASION
WOULD SUCCEED IN OVERTHROWING
THE PRESENT DEMOCRATIC REGIME
AND LEAD TO GENERAL WAR
IN THE AREA.
GOLLAN INTENDS TO PAY
HIS MERCENARY ARMY
WITH FUNDS
FROM THE $600 MILLION HE STOLE
DURING HIS TENURE OF OFFICE.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP GOLLAN.
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 RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
Man: THE ROADS MUST BE KEPT FREE
FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC.
THESE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARE BROADCAST EVERY HALF-HOUR

LOOKS LIKE A WEAK,

GOOD.
[ SWITCH CLICKS ]
IT'S A SECOND-GENERATION
DUPE, JIM.
NOW, THE FINAL, EDITED TAPES
WILL BE JUST AS BAD.
THROUGH USE OF AN OVERRIDE,
WE'LL HAVE NO PROBLEMS
CONVERTING

INTO A CLOSED-CIRCUIT

THERE'S NO DANGER OF
PICKING UP ANY REAL CHANNELS?
NONE AT ALL.
NOW, THESE ARE
EXACT DUPLICATES
OF GOLLAN'S RADIOS.
THE ONE FOR THE BEDROOM
IS RIGGED WITH

THAT'S FINE, BARNEY.
DR. ZIEGLER?
I HAVE ARRANGED
THAT BY TOMORROW,
GENERAL GOLLAN WILL HAVE
WHAT APPEARS TO BE
A SEVERE CASE OF PNEUMONIA.
THAT SHOULD MAKE
BOTH EVA GOLLAN
AND MAJOR DENESCH,
THE GENERAL'S AIDE, HAPPY.
THEY BOTH WANT
THE GENERAL'S WEALTH
TO FULFILL
THEIR PERSONAL AMBITIONS,
AND RIGHT NOW,
EVA HAS THE UPPER HAND,
BUT HER ACTIONS ARE GOING TO
BE HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE.
I'LL KEEP HER BUSY,
BUT, UH, WHAT ABOUT DENESCH?
HE'LL BE WATCHING HER
CLOSELY, WILLY.
NOW, ONCE YOU GIVE HER
THE PHONY BANK NUMBERS,
SHE'LL LEAVE THE SCHLOSS,
AND HE'LL FOLLOW HER.
HOW WILL WE KNOW WE HAVE
THE RIGHT NUMBER, JIM?
THE GENERAL DOESN'T TRUST
HIS MEMORY, TRACEY,
SO HE'S PUT THE BANK NUMBER
ONTO A COMPUTER.
ONLY HE KNOWS
HOW TO OPERATE IT.
HOW MUCH TIME
DO WE HAVE, JIM?
THE GENERAL'S LAWYER
IS DUE TO ARRIVE
AT THE BANK IN ZURICH
AT ABOUT 3:30.
THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO
SEND THE CORRECT NUMBER BY 3:00
TO GIVE THEM TIME
TO EMPTY HIS VAULT.
CAN WE BREAK GOLLAN
BY 3:00?
YES...IF WE CAN
MAKE HIM BELIEVE
THAT YOU'LL KILL ME
AND SAVE HIM.
[ COUGHING ]
YOU CAN INFORM COLONEL SABATIER
THAT EVEN THOUGH
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
GO TO THE BANK IN PERSON,
HE WILL RECEIVE THE $90 MILLION
DOWN PAYMENT TODAY.
I HAVE ALREADY COMMUNICATED
MY BANK NUMBER IN ZURICH
TO A LAWYER.
THE...MONEY WILL BE WITHDRAWN
AT 3:30 O'CLOCK.
COLONEL SABATIER
WILL RECEIVE IT THEN,
AS ALREADY ARRANGED.
I HAVE DRAWN UP THIS DOCUMENT
TO PROTECT OUR MUTUAL GOALS.
[ PAPERS RUSTLE ]
BUT --
THIS GIVES YOU COMPLETE
CONTROL OVER MY ESTATE!
AND I HAVE ALREADY MADE
ARRANGEMENTS AFTER MY DEATH.
YES, I KNOW.
MADAME GOLLAN IS TO MEET
SOME...UNKNOWN LAWYER
AND RECEIVE YOUR HOLDINGS.
I HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED
ENTIRELY.
HOWEVER...
MADAME GOLLAN HAS NEVER SHOWN
ANY PARTICULAR INTEREST
IN YOUR POLITICS
OR YOUR GOALS, GENERAL.
I AM AFRAID THAT UNDER
THE PRESENT ARRANGEMENTS,
YOUR WIFE WILL NOT USE
YOUR WEALTH TO RETAKE LUXANIA.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO EVA.
SHE HAS PROMISED.
SHE HAS GIVEN ME ASSURANCES
THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE
WITH MY PLANS,
AND THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE
AS SECOND IN COMMAND.
WOMEN, UH...
WOMEN ARE NOTORIOUS FOR
CHANGING THEIR MIND, GENERAL.
WHAT ARE YOU
ACCUSING EVA OF?
NOTHING.
BUT IF YOU SIGN
THIS DOCUMENT,
YOU WILL BE PROTECTING
YOUR DESIRES COMPLETELY.
I MAKE THE SAME GUARANTEE
AS EVA HAS.
EVERY ONE OF YOUR WISHES
WILL REMAIN THE SAME
AS YOU WOULD DICTATE IT.
I SHALL HARDLY BE IN A POSITION
WHEN I AM DEAD
TO DICTATE ANYTHING.
[ COUGHING ]
DR. ZIEGLER?
MADAME GOLLAN.
HOW IS THE GENERAL TODAY?
MUCH WORSE, DOCTOR.
HAS HE TAKEN THE TABLETS?
BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE
STOPPED THE PAIN,
AND THE COUGH
IS DEFINITELY WORSE.
I'M SURPRISED. I --
OH, DR. ZIEGLER.
GOOD MORNING.
YOU WILL BOTH WAIT
RIGHT HERE, PLEASE.
HE DID NOT TELL YOU YET,
DID HE?
TELL ME WHAT?
MY HUSBAND'S TIME
IS RUNNING OUT,
JUST AS YOURS IS, ALEX.
AND SO IS LUXANIA'S.
HAS IT BEEN SO DIFFICULT
LIVING IN EXILE?
NOT FOR THOSE WHO LIVE
A LIFE WITHOUT PURPOSE.
WHAT WILL YOU DO
AFTER HE'S DEAD?
WILL YOU FIND ANOTHER
GENERAL GOLLAN?
ANOTHER LUXANIA?
HE IS NOT DEAD YET.
[ COUGHING ]
NURSE?
[ COUGHING ]
[ SIGHS ] HOW SERIOUS?
OH, IT IS DIFFICULT
TO SAY.
I WOULD LIKE HONESTY,
DOCTOR.
YOU HAVE A CHANCE.
NOW, I MUST LEAVE.
LEAVE?! NO!
YOU MUST NOT GO!
I HAVE TO GO
TO THE CAPITAL --
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS,
URGENT.
I WILL BE BACK
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DR. WESSELL IS STANDING BY
AT THE HOSPITAL
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
NURSE!
YES, DOCTOR?
YOU WILL SEE THAT
HE IS NOT DISTURBED.
YES, DOCTOR.

Man: WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM
TO BRING YOU
A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
AN OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN
FOR THE GOVERNMENT
HAS JUST CONFIRMED
EARLIER RUMORS
THAT ARMIES OF THE EUROPEAN
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
HAVE CONCENTRATED
NEAR OUR BORDER.
AN OFFICIAL REQUEST
FROM THE GOVERNMENT
THAT THE E.P.R. REMOVE
ITS FORCES HAS BEEN REJECTED.
OUR GOVERNMENT HAS NOW MADE
AN URGENT APPEAL
TO THE UNITED NATIONS
FOR AN EMERGENCY DEBATE
ON THE CRISIS.
FOR SEVERAL DAYS,
RUMORS OF A DEEPENING RIFT
IN THE E.P.R. HAD BEEN DENI--
TELL MADAME GOLLAN
TO COME TO THE GENERAL'S ROOM
IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT IS IT?
GET DR. ZIEGLER BACK.
HE HAS ALREADY LEFT.
I AM PUTTING THROUGH A CALL
TO DR. WESSELL AT THE HOSPITAL.
WILL HE REGAIN
CONSCIOUSNESS, DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE IS VERY WEAK.
Denesch: YOU MUST
BRING HIM AROUND.
IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT I SPEAK TO HIM.
IF HE RECOVERS
CONSCIOUSNESS,
I WILL SEND FOR YOU
IMMEDIATELY.
IF HE RECOVERS!
MY DEAR DOCTOR --
PLEASE, WHY DON'T WE
STOP THIS CONVERSATION
AND GET HIM
TO THE HOSPITAL?
NO TIME. WE MUST PERFORM
A TRACHEOTOMY IMMEDIATELY.
TO EASE HIS BREATHING.
ALL CLEAR.
CLEAR.
[ AIR HISSING ]
HE'LL BE COMING AROUND
IN A FEW MINUTES.
HOW IS HE?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WE WILL BEGIN
THE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.
HE GAINED CONSCIOUSNESS
BRIEFLY.
HE COULD NOT SPEAK,
BUT HE DID MANAGE
TO WRITE DOWN THIS MESSAGE.
THANK YOU.
GIVE ME THIS NUMBER.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO?
VALHALLAH?
[ MAN SPEAKING IN DISTANCE ]
Man: 43 CALLING ANYBODY.

THERE'S NO SOUND.

THIS IS FRONTIER UNIT

YOU ARE VERY WEAK,
GENERAL.
YOU MUST LIE DOWN.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
I WILL EXPLAIN WHEN
YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.
BUT...WHY ARE WE DOWN HERE

YOU MUST REST.
YOU ARE IN NO CONDITION.
I WANT TO KNOW --

DUE TO THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF
RADIATION AROUND THE CAPITAL,
ALL RESERVOIRS
HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED.
FOLLOWING FIERCE FIGHTING
ALONG THE ZANSTED LINE,
THE ARMY OF THE NORTH
HAS BEEN FORCED
TO MAKE
A STRATEGIC WITHDRAWAL.
THIS FURTHER ORDER
HAS BEEN ISSUED
BY THE MINISTER
OF HOME SECURITY.
STRICT MARTIAL LAW IS ENFORCED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
NO ONE IS TO ATTEMPT
TO LEAVE THEIR HOME AREA.
THE ROADS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR
FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC.
THESE OFFICIAL
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARE BROADCAST EVERY HALF-HOUR
ON THIS STATION AND OVER

I HAVE JUST BEEN HANDED
A BULLETIN.
THE FREE DEMOCRACIES
OF WESTERN HEMISPHERE

THAT A STATE OF WAR NOW EXISTS
BETWEEN THEM AND

[ STATIC HISSING ]
[ SIGHS ]
DEAD.
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
[ MAN GROANS ]
SEE TO HIM.
HE'S BURNING UP
WITH FEVER, CAPTAIN.
DOCTOR.
[ COUGHING ]
YOU MUST GET BACK
TO THE OTHER ROOM.
YOU MUST LIE DOWN.
BUT I WANT TO --
AND PLEASE,
DON'T TRY TO TALK!
DOCTOR.
[ COUGHING ]
I WILL BE BACK WITH YOU
IN A MOMENT.
THIS IS FRONTIER UNIT
NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q.
COME IN, PLEASE.
CAPTAIN,
THIS MAN IS DYING.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE
I CAN DO FOR HIM.
KEEP HIM ALIVE.
TELL ME HOW.
JUST KEEP HIM ALIVE,
DOCTOR.
PENICILLIN IS THE ONLY
THING THAT WILL HELP HIM,
AND I'VE USED ALL MINE.
Paris: THIS IS
FRONTIER UNIT NUMBER 43
CALLING DIVISION H.Q.
COME IN.
THIS IS ALL WE HAVE.
WHO ARE YOU?
GENERAL, TALKING WILL
ONLY WORSEN YOUR CONDITION.
GO BACK AND LIE DOWN.
I WILL COME TO YOU
AS SOON AS I'M THROUGH.
KEEP WORKING ON THE RADIO.
WHO ARE YOU?
GENERAL, YOU MUST REST.
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THESE MEN ARE DOING HERE.
WE ARE RENTING THE PLACE
FOR THE SUMMER, GENERAL.
I TOLD YOU
TO STAY ON THE PHONE.
IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF YOU WERE OUT OF THE WAY
IN THE OTHER ROOM.
GENERAL, I WILL EXPLAIN
AS SOON
AS I AM FINISHED HERE.
I DEMAND TO KNOW
WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING HERE!
SERGEANT,
TAKE HIM BACK!
CAPTAIN,
THIS IS A VERY SICK MAN.
THEN HE SHOULD LIE DOWN.
TAKE HIM, SERGEANT.
[ Coughing ]
LET GO OF ME.
THEN I WILL ATTEND TO HIM.
NO, YOU WILL STAY
WITH THE PRISONER.
IT WILL TAKE
ONLY A MOMENT.
BESIDES, THIS MAN
NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.
THIS MAN IS OF
NO MILITARY IMPORTANCE.
HE IS NO USE TO ME!
YOU WILL STAY WITH HIM!
NO.
I WILL DO NO MORE
FOR THAT MAN
UNTIL I AM ALLOWED
TO TEND TO GENERAL GOLLAN.
VERY WELL, DOCTOR.
[ GASPING ]
[ COUGHS ]
WHO ARE THESE MEN?
THEY ARE FRONTIER GUARDS.
WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL.
THEY ARE NOT
REGULAR ARMY.
I DO NOT KNOW VERY MUCH
ABOUT THIS, BUT APPARENTLY,
THE E.P.R. COLONEL CAME
TO DEMAND THEIR SURRENDER,
BUT THEY TOOK HIM PRISONER,
AND THE CAPTAIN
WANTS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE
BECAUSE HE THINKS
THAT THE COLONEL
MAY HAVE VITAL INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT
TO OUR ARMY.
Paris: YOU'RE PUSHING ME
TOO FAR, CAPTAIN.
STOP PLAYING THE MARTINET.
I AM GOING TO MAINTAIN
DISCIPLINE DOWN HERE.
I TOLD YOU
TO STAY ON THE PHONE.
WHY? YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO GET ANYONE.
AND EVEN IF YOU DO,
HE'S GOING TO DIE.
YOU'LL NEVER GET HIM TO TALK --
HE'S DYING.
WELL, YOU HAD BETTER HOPE,
FOR YOUR SAKE,
THAT HE DOES TALK,
BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T
AND HE DIES,
I AM GOING
TO COURT-MARTIAL YOU
FOR SHOOTING HIM
IN THE BACK!
[ SIGHS ]
HOW DID WE
GET DOWN HERE?
WELL, I, UH...
I WAS ON MY WAY
TO THE CAPITAL
WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS
OF THE AIR RAID,
AND AFTER THAT, EVERYTHING
HAPPENED SO FAST.
I RUSHED BACK HERE,
FOUND YOU UNCONSCIOUS,
MANAGED TO GET YOU
INTO THE ELEVATOR,
AND THEY ARRIVED
A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT.
AND IT WAS THEN
THAT I HEARD
THAT THE CAPITAL HAD BEEN
DESTROYED BY AN ATOMIC BLAST.
EVA...WHERE IS SHE?
WHERE IS SHE?!
UP THERE.
THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
DOCTOR, THE COLONEL
NEEDS YOU.
OUT OF MY WAY.
OUT OF MY WAY!
I MUST GET TO EVA!
NO!
GENERAL, NO, NO!
HELLO?
HELLO?
[ THUMPS ]
GET OUT OF MY WAY!
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
FOR HER OR FOR ANY OF THEM!
IF YOU GO UP THERE, GENERAL,
I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU BACK.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IT'S RADIOACTIVE
UP THERE.
RADIOACTIVE?!
YES.
IF YOU WISH TO JOIN YOUR WIFE,
THAT IS YOUR DECISION.
HOW LONG...BEFORE
WE CAN GO UP THERE?
WEEKS, PERHAPS MONTHS.
MAYBE NEVER.
VALHALLAH IS THE CODE WORD
FOR A LETTER
THE GENERAL HAS DEPOSITED
WITH OUR LAW FIRM.
WHAT DOES THIS LETTER
CONTAIN?
THE NUMBERS OF THE GENERAL'S
SECRET BANK ACCOUNT.
I WOULD LIKE THAT INFORMATION
AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND DIES.
I AM SURE THERE WILL BE
NO PROBLEM AFTER THE AUTOPSY.
THERE WILL BE NO AUTOPSY.
WELL, AFTER
THE FUNERAL, THEN.
I WANT IT
AS SOON AS HE'S DEAD.
I SUPPOSE YOU COULD COME BACK
TO THE OFFICE WITH ME.
COULD YOU HAVE THEM
TELEPHONE IT THROUGH HERE?
YES, I SUPPOSE SO,
MADAME GOLLAN.
YOU ARE MOST KIND.
[ TUNER WHISTLES ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
DOCTOR?
THE GENERAL
IS SERIOUSLY ILL.
HIS CONDITION IS CRITICAL.
HE ALSO MUST HAVE
PENICILLIN.
IS THERE ENOUGH
TO KEEP THEM BOTH ALIVE?
I'M SORRY, DOCTOR.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
NO! NO, I MUST HAVE IT!
I'M SORRY, GENERAL.
I SYMPATHIZE, BUT
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES --
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND!
I CANNOT AFFORD
TO UNDERSTAND.
[ Crying ] IF I DO NOT HAVE
THE PENICILLIN, I WILL DIE!
YES, THIS IS A TIME
OF GREAT PERSONAL SACRIFICE
FOR US ALL.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY HAS PROBABLY
ALREADY BEEN DECIMATED.
I DO NOT WANT SPEECHES.
I WANT THE PENICILLIN.
NO! NO MORE ARGUMENTS.
I-I MUST HAVE IT.
I MUST HAVE IT.
TAKE HIM, DOCTOR.
CAPTAIN, I APPEAL TO YOU.
THIS OTHER MAN
CANNOT POSSIBLY LIVE.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
ZIEGLER, TELL HIM
I MUST HAVE THE PENICILLIN.
PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR
TO HIM.
UNDERSTAND --
MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND.
ON MY HUSBAND'S BEHALF,
I HAVE DECIDED TO POSTPONE
THE INVASION INDEFINITELY.
I WANTED YOU TO BE
THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW.
YOU CANNOT DO THAT.
"CANNOT"?
YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SAY
ABOUT ANYTHING ANYMORE...

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
WHO IS IT?
MAJOR DENESCH.
OPEN THE DOOR AT ONCE!
I'M SORRY,
BUT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES ]
I MUST GET DOWN
TO THE BUNKER IMMEDIATELY!
NOW, OPEN THE DOOR!
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN OPERATION.
IF YOU DO NOT
OPEN THIS DOOR IMMEDIATELY,
I WILL HAVE IT OPENED!
PLEASE,
JUST A MOMENT.
TROUBLE. DENESCH IS COMING
DOWN TO THE BUNKER.
DENESCH COMING DOWN.
DOCTOR, COME HERE.
TROUBLE.
PUT HIM OUT, FAST.

NO. IT'S ONLY
A SEDATIVE.
THIS IS
YOUR LAST WARNING!
OPEN THE DOOR!
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE!
[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
MAJOR, REALLY,
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS
THAT MUST BE TAKEN.
YOU MUST WEAR THIS MASK.
OUT OF MY WAY!
CLOSE IT!
YOU MUST LIE STILL,
GENERAL.
YOU MUST LIE STILL.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU PASSED OUT.
Paris: OUR EQUIPMENT
IS NOT DEAD.
IT IS JUST THAT THERE IS
NO ONE AROUND UP THERE
TO RECEIVE OUR SIGNAL.
NO ARGUMENTS!
TRY IT!
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE,
CAPTAIN.
I DON'T KNOW
WHY YOU SPEND
ANY TIME WITH HIM
AT ALL.
HE CANNOT BE SAVED.
THAT WAS YOUR DECISION.
YES.
GET TO WORK!
YES, SIR.
I WILL TRY
AND RAISE THE DEAD, SIR,
IF THAT IS YOUR ORDER, SIR!
[ STATIC HISSING ]
[ HISSING CONTINUES ]
HOW LONG HAVE I GOT,
DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
NOT VERY LONG.
IF I HAD PENICILLIN?
YOU WOULD HAVE A CHANCE.
[ COUGHING ]
I WILL TALK
TO THE CAPTAIN AGAIN.
I MUST GO NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU...DOING?
GO TO SLEEP, OLD MAN.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
[ Sarcastically ]
SOUVENIRS.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE
IN THERE.
Captain: ANYTHING?
NO, SIR.
ONLY STATIC SO FAR, SIR.
THE WHOLE WORLD
IS COMING APART,
AND HE'S STILL ON MY BACK!
[ CLATTERING ]
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
WHY DON'T YOU DO
THE CAPTAIN A FAVOR
AND HURRY UP AND DIE?
YOU DO NOT LIKE
THE CAPTAIN, DO YOU?
NO. I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM
SOONER OR LATER.
HE CANNOT STAY AWAKE
MUCH LONGER.
I COULD MAKE IT
WORTH YOUR WHILE
IF YOU WOULD DO IT
SOONER.
YOU SAID THERE WAS
NOTHING OF VALUE IN THERE.
THERE ISN'T.
BUT THERE IS...
THERE IS A SAFE DOWN HERE
WHICH HAS
VALUABLES IN IT.
I COULD GIVE YOU
THE COMBINATION
IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE PENICILLIN.
NO. I'LL WAIT
UNTIL HE'S ASLEEP.
THEN I'LL GET HIS GUN.
NO! I HAVE NOT
GOT THAT LONG.
IT MUST BE --
IT MUST BE NOW.
NO, HE'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO JUMP.
I WOULD BE KILLING
MY ONLY CHANCE.
LISTEN TO ME.
I HAVE A PLAN!
[ Gasping ]
LISTEN! AND THEN --
THEN MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
AGAIN, MADAME GOLLAN,
MY CONDOLENCES.
YES, DOCTOR.
NOW, IF YOU WILL SIGN THE
DEATH CERTIFICATE, PLEASE...
YES, OF COURSE.
NURSE.
HERE, DOCTOR.
EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER,
MADAME.
I THINK IT WOULD BE
MORE COMFORTABLE
IF WE CONCLUDED MATTERS
IN MY OFFICE.

WANTS TO SEE YOU.
SAYS IT IS URGENT.
IN A MOMENT.
All right, Barney.

OF LONDON, PARIS,
ZURICH BY E.P.R.
EARLY REPORTS
THAT THE ARMY OF THE SOUTH
CAPITULATED THIS MORNING
HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.
HOWEVER, THE ARMY OF THE NORTH
HAS MANAGED TO DISENGAGE ITSELF
FROM SUPERIOR ENEMY FORCES
AND HAS WITHDRAWN
TO STRATEGIC DEFENSIVE
POSITIONS WEST OF THE CAPITAL.
ALL RESERVE AND
HOME GUARD UNITS ARE ORDERED --
[ COUGHING ]
WHAT IS IT?
COME CLOSER.
MOST IMPORTANT.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.
WHAT IS IT?
I WANT YOU TO...
I WANT YOU...
GET BACK!
DO NOT INTERFERE,
DOCTOR.
THE SERGEANT AND I
HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT.
HE WILL GIVE US
THE PENICILLIN.
AFTER WE HAVE TAKEN CARE
OF THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU
INTEND TO DO?
GIVE ME THE GUN.
SERGEANT, GIVE IT TO ME.
I WILL GIVE YOU THE GUN,
CAPTAIN, PIECE BY PIECE,
STARTING WITH THE BULLETS.
SERGEANT!
OHH!
THE MAN IS DEAD.
YOU PLANNED THIS
WITH HIM!
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
I WILL SEE THAT YOU --
YOU ARE BEGINNING
TO SOUND LIKE THE CAPTAIN!
PLEASE, ZIEGLER.
IT WAS UNFORTUNATE
BUT NECESSARY.
NOW...GIVE ME
THE PENICILLIN.
YOU SHOW ME THE VAULT.
VERY WELL.
YES, YES.
READ IT, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]
MADAME GOLLAN, THIS CAN
ONLY BE DONE IN PRIVATE.
ONLY YOU ARE TO KNOW
THE NUMBER.
THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
HERR HAUFMANN.
EVA IS NOT TO KNOW
THE NUMBER AT ALL.
BUT I DO NOT
UNDERSTAND THIS.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
JUST A GAME...
ONE THAT IS OVER.
ACCEPT IT, ALEX.
YOU HAVE LOST.
NOW LEAVE.
EVA HAS NO RIGHT
TO THE GENERAL'S PROPERTY.
ARE YOU MAD?!
EARLIER THIS MORNING,
THE GENERAL SIGNED A DOCUMENT
WHICH COUNTERMANDED
ANY PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS.
IN THIS DOCUMENT, HE NAMES ME
AS SOLE HEIR TO HIS ESTATE.
YOU ARE LYING!
NO, EVA.
THE GENERAL
FINALLY SAW THROUGH YOU
JUST BEFORE HE DIED,
AS I DID THREE YEARS AGO.
THE GENERAL KNEW
YOU COULD NOT BE TRUSTED
TO BACK COLONEL SABATIER
IN THE INVASION.
HE KNEW THAT ONLY I
COULD BE TRUSTED TO DO THAT.
OH, THIS IS VERY CONFUSING --
A CONFLICT OF DOCUMENTS.
HE'S LYING.
THERE IS NO DOCUMENT.
YES, THERE IS.
IT IS IN THE SAFE,
DOWN IN THE BUNKER.
ALL OF THIS
IS, UH, VERY IRREGULAR.
I AM AFRAID
THIS WHOLE MATTER
WILL HAVE TO BE SETTLED
IN COURT.
HE'S LYING.
I'LL GET THE GUARDS.
KILLING ME WON'T GET YOU
TO MY HUSBAND'S ESTATE.
NO.
BUT SHOWING THE DOCUMENT
TO HERR HAUFMANN WILL.
WE WILL GO DOWN
TO THE BUNKER...NOW.
[ COUGHING ]
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY'S
CURRENCY! IT'S WORTHLESS!
NO, NO, NO!
YOU MUST NOT. PLEASE.
I DID NOT KNOW.
I FORGOT CURRENCY
WOULD BE WORTHLESS.
LISTEN...LISTEN.
I HAVE ANOTHER VAULT.
REALLY?
YES, YES.
IT IS IN ZURICH,
SWITZERLAND.
AND IT IS PROBABLY FULL OF
WORTHLESS CURRENCY LIKE THIS!
YES, YES.
BUT THERE IS ALSO GOLD.
HOW MUCH?
MILLIONS, MILLIONS.
YOU'RE LYING!
NO. IT IS THE TRUTH.
LOOK, I CAN PROVE IT.
HERE --
I HAVE A STATEMENT,
AN INVENTORY OF ALL
THE ASSETS IN THE BANK.
LOOK, READ IT OVER --
MILLIONS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MADAME GOLLAN,
I WAS ABOUT TO --
NOT NOW, DOCTOR.
THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU MUST TALK ABOUT --
THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
YES, THAT WILL ALL BE
TAKEN CARE OF LATER. MOVE!
WE HAVE MORE URGENT BUSINESS
TO CONSIDER.
DENESCH AND EVA
ARE ON THEIR WAY DOWN.
DENESCH HAS A GUN.
I...I WILL TELL YOU
THE NUMBER
OF THE SWISS ACCOUNT
IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE PENICILLIN.
4...9...7...4...3.
YOU COULD BE TELLING ME
ANY NUMBERS.
I SWEAR,
THAT IS THE RIGHT NUMBER!
I FED THE NUMBER
INTO THE COMPUTER MEMORY BANK
IN CASE I FORGOT.
YOU SEE,
I WILL TYPE MY NAME.
