Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 5, Episode 22 - The Party - full transcript

[ COIN JINGLES ]

[ DIALING ]

VALENKOFF?

YES.

MADAME VANIN,
IT IS THE COLONEL.

YES?

Olga, listen carefully.

I DO NOT HAVE TIME
TO EXPLAIN.

I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU
SOME NUMBERS.

Do not repeat them.

I want you to commit them
to memory.



12...45...72.

12, 45, 72.

I have them, Alex.

Good.
Now remember those numbers.

OUR LIVES MAY DEPEND ON IT.

IS ANYTHING WRONG?

NO. NO, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

LET'S GET HIM.

INFORM HIM OF HIS RIGHTS.

I AM COMPLETELY AWARE
OF MY RIGHTS.

WHERE IS THE LIST,
COLONEL VANIN?

LIST?

THE LIST OF THE NAMES
OF YOUR AGENTS

OPERATING IN THE UNITED STATES.



YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE MUCH EASIER
FOR YOU IF YOU COOPERATE.

AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE WASTING
YOUR TIME.

I WILL NEVER TELL YOU
WHERE IT IS.

GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

ALEXANDER VANIN IS NOW SERVING

A 20-YEAR SENTENCE
FOR ESPIONAGE.

IMMEDIATELY PRIOR
TO HIS ARREST,

COLONEL VANIN HID A LIST

OF EEPR AGENTS
OPERATING IN THE UNITED STATES.

GREGOR MISHENKO,
VANIN'S CONTROL,

HAS BEEN ORDERED
TO LOCATE THE LIST.

BUT VANIN HAS THUS FAR REFUSED
TO REVEAL ITS WHEREABOUTS.

HE KNOWS
THAT ONCE THE LIST IS FOUND

HIS USEFULNESS
TO HIS GOVERNMENT IS OVER

AND THEY WILL ABANDON HIM.

YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO FIND VANIN'S LIST.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ "MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

12...45...72.

12, 45, 72.

THOSE NUMBERS
COULD REPRESENT ANYTHING

FROM A FOOTBALL PLAY
TO A COMBINATION LOCK.

AND VANIN
ISN'T ABOUT TO TELL US?

NO, NOT ANYMORE.

THROUGH SELF-HYPNOSIS,
HE'S COMPLETELY ERASED

THE NUMBERS AND THEIR
MEANINGS FROM HIS MEMORY.

BUT SOMEWHERE
THERE'S A TRIGGER, JIM.

SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING
COULD UNLOCK THAT MEMORY.

YES, AND IN THIS CASE,
IT'S VANIN'S WIFE, OLGA.

SHE IS THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN UNLOCK HIS MEMORY.

YOU ALL SET, WILLY?

THE CONSULATE IS BUSY
PLANNING THE PARTY

CELEBRATING
THE EEPR's 25th BIRTHDAY.

OF COURSE, WE'LL BE SENDING
OUT OUR OWN INVITATIONS.

THE PAPERS AND TICKETS
ARE ALL READY, PARIS?

YEAH, WE'RE LEAVING
ON THE 8:00 FLIGHT.

WE'LL BE THERE BEFORE NOON
EASTERN-EUROPEAN TIME.

I'LL CONTACT OLGA VANIN
AT HER OFFICE,

AND WE'LL ALL BE BACK
BY NOON THE FOLLOWING DAY.

GOOD.

BARNEY?

THE ENTIRE UNIT IS ENCASED
IN EPOXY RESIN,

WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY
BE COVERED WITH CEMENT.

THESE ARE TWO SMALL VIALS
OF LEAD 209.

INSIDE IS A GEIGER TUBE.

WHEN THE LEAD
HAS DECAYED ENOUGH,

IT FEEDS A SIGNAL
FROM THE GEIGER

INTO THE CAPACITOR BANK,

WHICH DISCHARGES 150,000
AMPERES IN 1.5 MICROSECONDS.

THAT FIRES
AN EXPLOSIVE BOLT,

WHICH DETONATES
THE MAIN CHARGE.

WELL,
THEN IT REALLY WORKS.

ONLY THE EXPLOSIVE BOLT,
DANA, NOT THE MAIN CHARGE.

ONLY THE EXPLOSIVE BOLT?

THAT'S ENOUGH TO BLOW YOU

AND ANYBODY WITH YOU
TO PIECES.

DUE TO GO OFF
IN 52 HOURS AND 57 MINUTES.

WHY USE A LIVE DETONATOR?
WHY TAKE THE CHANCE?

VALENKOFF, THE SECURITY MAN,
IS A DEMOLITIONS EXPERT.

WE CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH A FAKE, DOUG.

WARDEN HARVEY
AT THE PENITENTIARY

IS GIVING US
HIS FULL COOPERATION.

SO...52 HOURS, 57 MINUTES --
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.

I HEARD THE WARDEN SAY

THEY WERE COMING
TO SEE VANIN TODAY.

NOW, WE WERE TO GIVE THEM
ANYTHING THEY ASK.

THEY? WHO ARE THEY?

AMERICAN AGENTS, I SUPPOSE,

ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO EVER VISIT HIM.

YES.

ONE DAY HE WILL TELL THEM
WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW.

OH, GREGOR, EXCUSE ME.

MADAME MISHENKO.

MR. FITZGERALD, HELLO.

FOR THE PARTY,

I ORDERED FIVE CASES
OF VODKA,

TWO CASES OF SCOTCH,
TWO OF GIN,

AND ONE CASE BLENDED WHISKEY.

CAN YOU THINK
OF ANYTHING ELSE?

HMM. NO, NO, THAT'S FINE.

THANKS. THANKS.

FITZGERALD...

YOU KEEP
YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN.

FIND OUT
WHAT THEY ARE UP TO.

THANK YOU.

I AM NIKOLAI ARKOFF

OF THE EEPR
SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC MISSION.

SECRET POLICE.
WELL, BE DISCREET.

EVERYTHING YOU SAY
IS BEING RECORDED.

THIS IS DR. ALEXAI IYANOV,
OUR PERSONAL PHYSICIAN.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
AND THE PRISON AUTHORITIES

HAVE GRANTED HIM PERMISSION

TO GIVE YOU A THOROUGH
MEDICAL EXAMINATION.

A MEDICAL EXAMINATION? WHY?

YOU ARE BEING REPATRIATED.

REPATRIATED?

WE ARE SENDING YOU HOME.

HE WAS SHOT DOWN 20 MILES
INSIDE OUR BORDERS.

THE AMERICANS HAVE AGREED
TO EXCHANGE YOU FOR HIM.

NOW, COLONEL...

Please tell me
why the Americans

are so anxious
to give you up for him.

What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting
that if your importance

to the Americans
is reduced to this,

there must be some
logical explanation --

and that explanation can only be

that you have already told
the Americans

everything they wish to know.

I TOLD THEM NOTHING.

EVIDENTLY YOU ARE QUITE NEW

TO THE SECRET SERVICE,
ARKOFF.

OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD BE MORE
FAMILIAR WITH MY REPUTATION.

A PLANE IS BROUGHT DOWN,
THE PILOT CAPTURED.

IT'S NO SECRET
THERE ARE AT LEAST

THREE OTHER AMERICAN PILOTS
IN OUR PRISONS.

WHY ARE THE AMERICANS
SO WILLING NOW

TO SUGGEST A TRADE?

THIS MAN
IS A BRIGADIER GENERAL.

[ Derisively ]
BRIGADIER GENERAL.

YOU KNOW YOUR VALUE
TO THE AMERICANS!

YOU ARE WORTH
20 BRIGADIERS.

WE'LL SOON SEE
IF YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

WE'RE READY TO TAKE HIM
TO THE INFIRMARY.

YES?

I WISH TO SEE
DIRECTOR VANIN.

WHO ARE YOU?

MAJOR LASLOW,
SECRET POLICE.

I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN
WITH HER ON THE PHONE.

YES, MAJOR.

YOUR REQUEST IS DENIED.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

WE CANNOT MAKE AN EXCEPTION
JUST FOR YOU.

GOOD DAY.

DIRECTOR VANIN,
THIS IS MAJOR LASLOW.

AH, MAJOR LASLOW,
WON'T YOU PLEASE COME IN?

THAT GIRL HAS A BLOOD
DISEASE OF SOME SORT,

AND SHE WANTS
AN EXIT PERMIT TO ENGLAND

WHERE HER AUNT WILL PAY
ALL HER MEDICAL EXPENSES.

ENGLAND, INDEED.

THE VERY BEST DOCTORS
AND HOSPITALS

ARE RIGHT HERE
IN HER OWN COUNTRY.

SOMETIMES I THINK
WE ARE RAISING

A GENERATION
OF TRAITORS AND COWARDS.

YES. YES, IT IS VERY SAD.

NOW, MAJOR, WHAT ABOUT
THIS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS

CONCERNING MY HUSBAND?

WHAT IS SO CONFIDENTIAL

THAT I MAY NOT BREATHE
A WORD OF IT TO ANYONE?

YOUR HUSBAND,
COLONEL ALEXANDER VANIN,

IS BEING REPATRIATED.

I AM HERE TO ESCORT YOU
TO THE UNITED STATES.

THE UNITED STATES?

YES, YOU WILL TRAVEL
ON A SPECIAL PASSPORT

UNDER THE NAME
OF TANIA PETROV.

WE DON'T WANT
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE

TO LEARN
OF YOUR PRESENCE THERE.

WHY AM I
TO BE BROUGHT THERE?

IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT YOUR HUSBAND

HAS REVEALED CERTAIN...

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.

THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

WE BELIEVE THAT
YOU CAN HELP US DETERMINE

WHETHER OR NOT
THIS IS TRUE.

OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO KNOW
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE...

AND BEFORE WE BRING HIM
BACK HOME.

OUR FLIGHT LEAVES
IN AN HOUR.

YOUR LUGGAGE IS PACKED AND
AWAITING YOU AT THE AIRPORT.

I'LL BE WAITING DOWNSTAIRS.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HELLO.

I WANT A VERIFICATION

OF A MAJOR LASLOW
OF THE SECRET POLICE.

THANK YOU. I'LL WAIT.

YES. YES, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

DIRECTOR VANIN...

EXCUSE ME.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON HIM
FOR SEVEN HOURS.

HE'S HAD A COMPLETE
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION,

INTERROGATION,
SODIUM PENTOTHAL --

EXACTLY AS WE WOULD DO IT

IF HE WERE BEING
REPATRIATED.

HMM.

TWO AMERICAN AGENTS

GO TO EXTREME --
ALMOST ABSURD -- LENGTHS

TO MAKE VANIN BELIEVE
THAT HE IS BEING EXCHANGED.

WHY?

SURE, TO GAIN HIS CONFIDENCE
TO GET HIM TO TALK,

BUT THEY KNOW THAT HE WILL
NOT TELL WHERE IS THE LIST,

NOT EVEN TO OUR PEOPLE,

UNTIL HE IS SAFELY AT HOME.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY'RE STILL
WORKING ON HIM.

AND I GO ON DUTY AGAIN
IN AN HOUR.

HMM.

YOU'RE RIGHT, FITZGERALD.

MAKE SURE
THAT HE DOES NOT TALK.

KILL HIM.

WHERE DO YOU WANT THESE?

THIS WAY.

OVER THERE.

THAT'S GOOD.

SIGN HERE, PLEASE.

OPEN IT.

THAT IS GOOD.

RIGHT HERE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR
YOUR COOPERATION, WARDEN.

MY GOVERNMENT
IS MOST GRATEFUL.

COLONEL?

GOOD DAY.

UH, THEY ARE LEAVING NOW.

Those agents wouldn't
let him out of their sight.

I couldn't get near him.

A CODED MESSAGE
JUST CAME FROM THE CAPITAL.

WELL?

OLGA VANIN IS MISSING.

[ HISSING ]

[ BEEPING ]

VALENKOFF! SOMEONE HAS
GOTTEN INTO THE POWER ROOM.

[ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS ]

YOU MUST BE VERY ANXIOUS
TO SEE THE COLONEL AGAIN.

WE INTERRUPT OUR MUSIC
FOR THE FOLLOWING BULLETIN --

AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES
IN WASHINGTON CLAIM TODAY

THAT COLONEL ALEXANDER VANIN,
CONVICTED ESPIONAGE AGENT,

WILL BE EXCHANGED
FOR GENERAL RONALD BROOKS,

PILOT OF THE AMERICAN AIRCRAFT
SHOT DOWN LAST WEEK...

TURN IT OFF.

[ RADIO CLICKS OFF ]

THE AMERICANS
MUST HAVE LEAKED IT.

WILL IT AFFECT
ALEX'S RETURN HOME?

IF COLONEL VANIN
HAS MAINTAINED HIS SILENCE,

NOTHING WILL AFFECT
HIS RETURN HOME.

HE HAS KEPT SILENT.
OF THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU.

I ONLY HOPE YOU WILL ACCEPT
MY APOLOGY, COLONEL.

BUT, OF COURSE, YOU REALIZE
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

IF THE AMERICANS
HAD GOT THEIR HANDS

ON THAT LIST
OF OPERATIVES.

NOT UNTIL MY TESTS
WERE COMPLETED

COULD WE BE CERTAIN
THAT YOU'D SAID NOTHING.

GENTLEMEN, YOU ARE AWARE

OF MY EXPERIENCE
IN THESE MATTERS.

YOUR MEASURES
WERE NO MORE NOR LESS

THAN THOSE
I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MYSELF.

IT OCCURS TO ME YOUR TIMING
IS QUITE AUSPICIOUS.

COLONEL?

OH, TODAY MARKS
THE 25th ANNIVERSARY

OF THE FOUNDING
OF OUR STATE.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN,

WE SHOULD JUST BE IN TIME
FOR THE ANNUAL RECEPTION.

THIS YEAR, COLONEL...
A DOUBLE CELEBRATION.

[ CLICKING ]

IT MAY BE TNT.

IT MAY EVEN BE
A FUSION DEVICE.

WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS ARMED

AND SET TO GO OFF
IN PRECISELY ONE HOUR.

DURING
THE ANNIVERSARY PARTY?

JUAN DE LA FUENTES...

CUBAN?

YOU WOULD HAVE KILLED
OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

WHY?

WE WILL HAVE
A LITTLE TALK LATER.

BUT GET THIS BOMB
OUT OF HERE NOW.

YOU DO THAT.
YOU JUST TRY AND DO THAT.

IT CANNOT BE MOVED.

THE SLIGHTEST JAR
MIGHT DETONATE IT.

THEN DISCONNECT IT.

IT CANNOT BE DISARMED,
EITHER.

NOT UNLESS YOU REMOVE
THE FIRING DEVICE FIRST.

THEN REMOVE IT.

THE ENTIRE COMPOSITION
OF THE BOMB

IS UNFAMILIAR TO ME.

CAN IT BE DISARMED?

WELL, YOU ASSEMBLED IT.
YOU WILL DISASSEMBLE IT.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

NO, MY CUBAN FRIEND,
NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

THE BUILDING WILL BE
EVACUATED IMMEDIATELY.

ALL PERSONNEL
WILL LEAVE THE PREMISES

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

YOU WILL CALL THE GUESTS.

TELL THEM THE RECEPTION
IS POSTPONED.

YOU WILL STAY HERE
AND DISARM YOUR BOMB.

YOU WILL REMAIN WITH HIM.

GIVE HIM WHAT TOOLS HE NEEDS
AND KEEP ME INFORMED.

ONE MINUTE BEFORE THE BOMB
IS SET TO EXPLODE,

IF HE'S NOT FINISHED IT
BY THEN,

YOU WILL LOCK HIM IN HERE,
AND YOU WILL GET OUT.

AFTER ALL, WE WANT YOU
TO HAVE THE PLEASURE

OF SEEING
YOUR WORK SUCCEED.

IF I MAY MAKE
AN OBSERVATION,

YOU -- THE BOTH OF YOU --

ACTED IN A MANNER
QUITE DIFFERENTLY

FROM THE OTHERS
MISHENKO SENT TO SEE ME.

REALLY?

THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED
IN MY FAITH IN THE LIST,

JUST IN THE INFORMATION
I HAD.

YOU'RE MISTAKEN, COLONEL.

MISHENKO SPENT
MANY A SLEEPLESS NIGHT

WORRYING ABOUT YOU.

I AM SURE.

WHAT IS ALEX TO THINK
WHEN HE SEES ME?

THAT HE IS BEING REWARDED
FOR HIS HEROISM.

A HEROISM IN WHICH
YOU DO NOT BELIEVE.

WHAT YOU ARE REALLY
ASKING ME TO DO

IS TO BETRAY MY HUSBAND.

IF HE TALKED, YES.

VALENKOFF.

HE IS MAKING PROGRESS.

Call me back again
in five minutes.

I THINK YOU BUILT IT
TOO WELL.

WE SHALL BE AT THE CONSULATE
IN A FEW MINUTES.

CLOSE THAT VENT.

MADAME MISHENKO
SERVES ONLY THE FINEST.

VANIN'S VODKA
IS THE KATZOV BRAND.

NOW, THE CONSULATE STAFF
KNOWS THIS.

BE SURE AND DON'T LET
HIS GLASS BE EMPTY.

ALL RIGHT? THANK YOU.

PETR, VANIN'S FAVORITE TUNE
IS "VAS BASHAL."

HE LIKES IT PLAYED SLOWLY
AND WITH GREAT NOSTALGIA.

BE SURE AND PLAY IT
WHEN HE ARRIVES, ALL RIGHT?

TRAFFIC IS LIGHTER
THAN I EXPECTED.

[ BEEPING ]

GO.

THAT'S FINE.

[ APPLAUSE ]

COLONEL VANIN...
I AM NATASHA BRONIN,

THE NEW PROTOCOL ATTACHé.

GREGOR MISHENKO
AND HIS WIFE

HAVE BEEN CALLED
TO WASHINGTON.

THEY REGRET
NOT BEING ABLE TO BE HERE

TO WELCOME YOU BACK
PERSONALLY.

IN THE MEANTIME, ON BEHALF

OF OUR LOCAL COUNTRYMEN
AND OUR GOOD FRIENDS,

WELCOME HOME.

[ ACCORDION PLAYING ]

TRAFFIC IS LIGHTER
THAN I EXPECTED.

[ BEEPING ]

GO.

VALENKOFF,
ARE YOU STILL THERE?

Yes, I'm still here.

HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?

I CANNOT TELL YET.

[ FOLK MUSIC PLAYING ]

I AM SURPRISED THAT
BOTH GREGOR AND HIS WIFE

WERE CALLED TO WASHINGTON.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY?

UH, NO, COLONEL, I DO NOT.

FOR THEM TO MISS
THE 25th-ANNIVERSARY PARTY,

IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING
QUITE URGENT.

YES, I AM SURE IT WAS.

YET IT DOES NOT
QUITE MAKE SENSE.

I AM NOT THAT IMMODEST
TO BELIEVE THAT MY EXCHANGE

FOR THE AMERICAN GENERAL WAS
AN URGENT MATTER IN ITSELF.

I DID NOT WISH
TO BE INDISCREET, COLONEL.

BUT SINCE YOU ARE BOTHERED
BY IT,

GREGOR AND MADAME MISHENKO

ARE AT THIS MOMENT
WITH THE AMBASSADOR.

MISHENKO IS BEING...
REPRIMANDED

FOR NOT HAVING DONE MORE
TO AFFECT YOUR RELEASE

AND FOR SENDING
BIASED REPORTS HOME.

BIASED?

YES.

HE WAS NOT CERTAIN
YOU WOULD NOT MAKE

CERTAIN ARRANGEMENTS
WITH THE AMERICANS.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT,
COLONEL?

YES.

YES, IT IS. IT IS.

THANK YOU, NATASHA.

YES.

TO YOUR VERY GOOD HEALTH,
SIR.

I CANNOT TELL YOU

HOW PROUD WE ARE
OF YOU, COLONEL.

OLGA.

OLGA.

YOU LOOK WELL.
YOU LOOK VERY WELL.

I AM FEELING GOOD...NOW.

OLGA, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...

BEAUTIFUL.

COLONEL VANIN...

I AM MAJOR FYODOR LASLOW
OF THE SECRET POLICE.

YOU AND MADAME VANIN

WILL BE FLOWN HOME
EARLY TOMORROW.

GOOD.

WAITER...

TO FREEDOM...
AND VICTORY FOR OUR CAUSE.

WHEN DID THEY TELL YOU
I WOULD BE EXCHANGED?

YESTERDAY.

THEY HAVE BROUGHT YOU HERE

TO FIND OUT
IF I HAVE BETRAYED THEM.

YES, OF COURSE, ALEX.
YOU CANNOT BLAME THEM.

YOU HAVE NOT TALKED.
YOU HAVE WON.

AND WE ARE TOGETHER.

YES. I HAVE WON.

[ FOLK MUSIC PLAYING ]

YAH!

HA!

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ SILENCE ]

MADAME VANIN, I'M SURE
THAT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND

HAVE MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

OH. OH, OF COURSE.
HOW RUDE OF ME.

LET ME SHOW YOU
TO THE STUDY.

NO, NO, PLEASE, PLEASE.

IT IS GOOD
TO BE WITH PEOPLE AGAIN.

COME, DARLING, I HAVE
A GREAT DEAL TO SAY TO YOU.

IT'S JUST TOO NOISY HERE.

STOP IT.

STOP IT!

[ MUSIC STOPS ]

WHAT IS GOING ON --

[ MUSIC RESUMES ]

I'LL GO DOWN
TO THE POWER ROOM.

VALENKOFF...

VALENKOFF, WHAT'S WRONG?
WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER?

I'm sorry. It was the radio.
He's almost finished.

MAYBE 30 SECONDS MORE.

CAN YOU FINISH, BARNEY?

NOW, VALENKOFF,
GET OUT OF THERE.

MAKE SURE THE CUBAN STAYS.

[ As Valenkoff ]
HE DID IT.

QUICKLY,
DRIVE TO THE ENTRANCE.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOUR
NEXT ASSIGNMENT WILL BE?

OBVIOUSLY, I CAN NO LONGER
WORK IN AMERICA.

BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO GOING TO BACK TO EUROPE

TO WORK
IF THE BUREAU IS WILLING.

I AM CERTAIN THE BUREAU
WILL BE WILLING.

AGENTS OF YOUR CALIBER
ARE NOT EASY TO FIND.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WOULD YOU BE ABLE
TO JOIN ME?

I SHALL ASK FOR PERMISSION.

WE WERE A VERY GOOD TEAM
IN AMERICA.

WE SHALL BE A GOOD TEAM
AGAIN WHEREVER WE GO.

LISTEN.

OLGA, LISTEN.

I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

NOR DO I.

ALEX!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

AND YOU, OLGA,
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

GREGOR,
I WAS BROUGHT HERE

BY MAJOR LASLOW
OF THE SECRET POLICE.

THERE IS NO MAJOR LASLOW
IN THE SECRET POLICE.

BUT ALL YOUR PEOPLE?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR PROTOCOL
ATTACHé, NATASHA?

WE HAVE NO PROTOCOL ATTACHé.

NO.

THE AMERICANS.

YES, THE AMERICANS, THE MEN WHO
TOOK YOU FROM PRISON --

THEY ARE AMERICAN AGENTS.

BUT, GREGOR, I WAS EXCHANGED
FOR GENERAL BROOKS --

THE PRISONER EXCHANGE.

DON'T YOU SEE HOW IT IS?

THE AMERICANS HAVE STAGED
THE WHOLE THING.

[ Sarcastically ]
VANIN, THE GENIUS.

MASTER SPY. MASTER FOOL!

They have manipulated you
like a puppet!

ALL OF THIS --

THE BOMB WHICH CAUSED US
TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING,

YOUR RELEASE FROM PRISON,
BRINGING YOUR WIFE HERE --

ALL FOR THE SAME PURPOSE --
THE LOCATION OF THE LIST.

AND YOU GAVE IT TO THEM.
YOU TALKED.

I COULD NOT POSSIBLY
HAVE TALKED.

I do not remember
where I put the list.

Gregor,
I hypnotized myself.

I CANNOT REMEMBER ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.

I WILL PROVE IT.

OUR LAST CONVERSATION,
JUST BEFORE I WAS ARRESTED,

WHAT DID I SAY?

YOU ASKED ME TO MEMORIZE
SOME NUMBERS.

WHAT WERE THE NUMBERS?

OLGA,
WHAT WERE THE NUMBERS?

12...45...72.

12...45...72.

THEY'RE THE SERIAL NUMBERS
OF A BUS.

I HID THE LIST
UNDER THE SEAT, AND --

ALEX.

THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME

TO PUT MICROPHONES
IN THE ROOMS.

YOU JUST TOLD THEM
WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW.

CALL THE TRANSPORT COMPANY.

ASK THEM TO FIND
WHERE IS THAT BUS,

AND HAVE THEM PHONE US
IN THE CAR.

BUS NUMBER 124572 IS IN
THE MAINTENANCE GARAGE

IN SUMMERVILLE, WILLY.

THAT'S ABOUT AN HOUR'S DRIVE.
YOU GOT IT?

I'VE GOT IT, JIM.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

IT IS NOT HERE.

NEITHER ARE THE AMERICANS.

YOU FAILED YOUR COUNTRY,
COLONEL.

MISHENKO...

VANIN TOLD THE TRUTH.
THE LIST WAS THERE.

YOU BETTER DROP THAT.
DOUG...

COME ON.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM?

WHERE HE CAME FROM -- BACK
TO THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY.

LEAVE HIM TO US.

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM,
I PROMISE YOU.

MR. MISHENKO, YOU CAN
HAVE HIM IN ABOUT 19 YEARS.
