Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 5, Episode 5 - Flight - full transcript
The IMF must thwart a coup attempt to be triggered by a presidential assassination. The team apprehends the coup leader and employs an elaborate ruse to convince him to reveal the killer. But government security forces uncover the operation and capture Dana. So begins parallel games of cat and mouse with dire consequences for the losers.
AND IN MY SPEECH
TO THE AMERICAN CONGRESS,
I INTEND TO PROPOSE
A NEW KIND OF PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE UNITED STATES,
ONE BUILT ON COOPERATION
AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING.
THE OLD CLICHéS
MUST BE FORGOTTEN.
DURING THE NEXT DECADE,
THE PROBLEMS OF OVERPOPULATION,
OF POVERTY, AND OF MILITARISM
MUST BE MET SQUARELY
IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
[ TELEVISION TURNS OFF ]
PRESIDENTE ROJAS
IS NEVER TO DELIVER HIS SPEECH.
I UNDERSTAND.
$50,000.
YOU LEAVE FOR WASHINGTON
ON THE MIDNIGHT PLANE.
I WILL FOLLOW
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
I TRUST YOU'VE ALREADY MADE
THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS?
I REMIND YOU, IF YOU FAIL,
THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
WILL BE OURS.
I WON'T FAIL.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYS ]
WHAT TIME DO YOU OPEN?
NOON.
IT'S TOO BAD.
I'VE GOT A 10:30 TRAIN TO CATCH.
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
ON WEDNESDAY MORNING,
ADOLFO ROJAS ADDRESSES
A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
BEFORE HE ENTERS
THE CONGRESSIONAL CHAMBERS,
ROJAS WILL BE DEAD,
HIS GOVERNMENT TAKEN OVER
BY MANUEL FERRAR,
HIS CHIEF OF INTERNAL SECURITY.
THE MURDERER WILL BE
A PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN
WITH THE CODE NAME "PLATO,"
WHOSE TRUE IDENTITY
IS KNOWN ONLY TO FERRAR.
ALTHOUGH WARNED,
PRESIDENTE ROJAS REFUSES TO
CANCEL THIS VITAL APPEARANCE,
AND OBVIOUSLY OUR GOVERNMENT
CANNOT WITHDRAW ITS INVITATION.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO LEARN PLATO'S IDENTITY
AND TRANSMIT THE INFORMATION
TO WASHINGTON
BEFORE PRESIDENTE ROJAS
BEGINS HIS SPEECH.
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.
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
MANUEL FERRAR.
HIS PROTéGé, CHIEF OF POLICE
FRANCISCO DIAZ.
FERRAR IS BRAVE, DEDICATED.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING
FOR HIS CAUSE, PARIS.
DIAZ -- CLEVER, RESOURCEFUL.
TOGETHER,
THEY MAKE A DEADLY TEAM.
BUT ONLY FERRAR
KNOWS PLATO'S TRUE IDENTITY?
ONLY FERRAR KNOWS,
AND ONLY FERRAR CAN TELL US.
NOW...
THIS IS OUR FERRAR, DOUG.
HE'S A GOOD DOUBLE.
HE'LL BE ON THE AIRPLANE.
THIS IS EVERYTHING
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THE DEEP-COVER AGENT
RAMóN MARCOS.
SIX MONTHS AGO, HE WAS ASSIGNED
TO POSE AS A POLITICAL PRISONER
IN THE PENAL COLONY
ON SAN FELIPE ISLAND.
WHEN HE COMPLETED
HIS ASSIGNMENT,
THE PLANE CARRYING HIM AND A
NUMBER OF LEGITIMATE PRISONERS
VANISHED AT SEA.
THEN MARCOS AND FERRAR
NEVER MET.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WILL DANA BE
ON THE ISLAND WITH US?
NO, WE'LL RENDEZVOUS WITH DANA
AT EL CONQUISTADO HOTEL.
LESS THAN 60 HOURS,
PRESIDENT ROJAS
ADDRESSES CONGRESS.
YOU RENEWED
YOUR PILOT'S LICENSE, BARNEY?
PASSED THE TEST
WITH FLYING COLORS, JIM.
THANK YOU.
THE FIFTH ARMY BRIGADE
AND THE SEVENTH
PARACHUTE REGIMENT
ARE READY TO OCCUPY
THE CITY
THE INSTANT THE WORD COMES
OF THE PRESIDENTE'S
TRAGIC DEATH.
YOU ARE A VERY EFFICIENT
YOUNG MAN, DIAZ.
I LEARNED IT ALL
FROM YOU, MANUEL.
YOU MAY BOARD, DR. LANG.
THANK YOU.
BOARD WHENEVER YOU WISH,
SEÑOR FERRAR.
THANK YOU.
I'LL WATCH YOUR PLANE
TAKE OFF, MANUEL.
THANK YOU.
YOU MAY BOARD.
CAN'T YOU WATCH
WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
WELCOME ABOARD.
OH, EXCUSE ME.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
CHARLIE?
CHARLIE, WAKE UP!
CHARLIE! PLEASE!
STEWARDESS!
YES?
WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M A DOCTOR.
HE HAD A HEART ATTACK
TWO YEARS AGO.
HE'S HAVING ANOTHER.
HE NEEDS IMMEDIATE
HOSPITALIZATION.
HAVE THE PILOT
RADIO THE TOWER
FOR AN AMBULANCE.
I TELL YOU, MY TICKET WAS
IN MY WALLET.
ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT HERE.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
PLEASE RETURN MY WALLET
AND MY PASSPORT,
AND I WON'T PRESS CHARGES.
YOUR WALLET?
WHY, YOU'RE ABSO--
GUARD!
YOU ASKED FOR IT.
SEÑOR.
THIS GENTLEMAN ACCIDENTALLY
BUMPED INTO ME,
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
MY WALLET AND MY PLANE
TICKET DISAPPEARED.
NOW, I WAS WARNED TO BE CAREFUL
WHEN I CAME DOWN HERE.
NOW, IF YOU PEOPLE REALLY WANT
TOURISTS TO COME HERE,
YOU BETTER WATCH
THESE INCIDENTS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
A THOUSAND APOLOGIES,
SEÑOR DIAZ.
NOW, YOU --
SEÑOR, THIS WAS FOUND
ON THE FLOOR OF THE MEN'S ROOM.
MY WALLET!
SEE THAT EVERYTHING
IS IN ORDER, SEÑOR.
MM-HMM. MM-HMM.
HMM. I CAN'T IMAGINE
HOW I LOST IT.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
YOU MAY NOTICE
THAT THE "NO SMOKING" SIGN
HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
REFRESHMENTS
WILL BE SERVED SHORTLY.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
WE'LL HAVE YOU BACK IN
THE AIR SOON, SEÑOR FERRAR.
[ TIRES SCREECHING ]
YOU STUPID IDIOT!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?!
YOU ALMOST KILLED US!
THEY'RE OKAY, PARIS.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
POLICE!
STRANGE.
WHEN WE CALLED THE HOSPITAL,
THEY HAD NO RECORD
OF ANY SUCH AMBULANCE.
AND FURTHERMORE,
IT WAS LAST SEEN
IN THE SANTA CRISTINA AREA.
IT'S A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT.
THERE ARE NO HOSPITALS.
WELL, BARATA, IT APPEARS THAT
YOU MUST FIND THAT AMBULANCE.
OHH. OHH.
YOU'VE HAD QUITE A NAP.
MM.
8:00?
YES, YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP
FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS.
OH, SIR,
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED.
WE'RE EXPECTING
SOME TURBULENCE.
YOU, TOO, SIR. PLEASE
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT.
[ SEAT BELTS CLICK ]
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP
A LITTLE TAIL WIND
SO IT MAY GET A BIT BUMPY
NOW AND THEN.
BUT OUR GROUNDSPEED
IS NOW 615 MILES PER HOUR.
WE'RE APPROXIMATELY
1,500 MILES FROM WASHINGTON,
AND I ESTIMATE
WE'LL LAND ON TIME.
IN FIVE MINUTES,
WE'LL BE PASSING OVER
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR DEEP LAGOONS
AND RUGGED COASTLINES.
KIMBERLY ISLANDS.
ISN'T THAT WHERE
THAT PENAL COLONY IS?
SAN FELIPE?
EVERYBODY, KEEP CALM.
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED.
EVERYBODY, KEEP CALM.
THE AIRCRAFT
IS UNDER CONTROL.
PLEASE, REMAIN SEATED.
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS.
WE'VE HAD
AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION
IN NUMBER-FOUR ENGINE.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT. NOTHING AT ALL.
IF YOU'LL ALL REMAIN
IN YOUR SEATS
AND FOLLOW
THE STEWARDESS' INSTRUCTIONS,
NOBODY WILL BE INJURED.
HOWEVER, AS A PRECAUTION,
ALL PASSENGERS WILL
FOLLOW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.
I REPEAT,
THIS IS ONLY AS A PRECAUTION.
[ RUMBLING ]
OH, HELP!
IT'S GOING TO CRASH!
AAH!
THE ENGINE'S ON FIRE!
SOMEBODY!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
CRASH!
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
HELP!
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
LOOK OUT!
WE'RE GONNA CRASH!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
[ SHOUTING CONTINUES ]
I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
PLEASE, PROTECT ME!
PLEASE, PROTECT ME!
HE'S HYSTERICAL.
IF YOU MUST DIE,
DIE LIKE A MAN.
[ SOBBING ]
DANA!
ALL RIGHT, BARNEY.
LET'S DISMANTLE
AND GET OUT OF HERE, BARNEY.
JIM.
EVERYBODY OUT NOW.
FORGET IT, BARNEY.
DANA!
TAPES.
NO!
GO!
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT DANA?
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO
RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE WORKING AGAINST TIME,
PARIS.
WE HAVE TO BREAK FERRAR
BEFORE DIAZ CATCHES UP WITH US.
WE CAN'T JUST WRITE HER OFF.
WELL, THE FIRST MOVE
IS UP TO HER, PARIS.
SHE HAS TO FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO GET TO EL CONQUISTADOR HOTEL.
ONCE SHE GETS THERE,
WE CAN HELP HER,
BUT NOT BEFORE.
IF SHE GETS THERE.
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP
A LITTLE TAIL WIND
SO IT MAY GET A BIT BUMPY
NOW AND THEN.
"MANUEL FERRAR ARRIVED
IN WASHINGTON, FLIGHT 20."
A MAN POSING AS MANUEL
ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON.
IN FIVE MINUTES,
WE'LL BE PASSING OVER
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR --
[ RECORDING STOPS ]
AN AMBULANCE TAKES
A CRITICALLY ILL PASSENGER
OFF A PLANE.
LATER, IN THAT SAME
AMBULANCE, WE FIND...
A STEWARDESS.
THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE
HE HAS ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON
AND HIM TO BELIEVE HE
HAS BEEN IN A PLANE CRASH.
BUT WHY?
WHEN HE WAKES UP,
THEY WILL TRY
TO MAKE HIM BELIEVE
THAT HE'S...
IN THE HOSPITAL.
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS.
OR ON AN ISLAND.
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR DEEP LAGOONS
AND RUGGED COAS--
BARATA, I WANT
EVERY AVAILABLE MAN.
SEARCH PARTIES MUST BE
ASSEMBLED IMMEDIATELY.
I WANT THEM TO SEARCH
EVERY LINE OF THE COAST.
WE WILL FIND THEM, COLONEL.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
[ WAVES CRASHING ]
[ BIRDS CALLING ]
[ GASPING ]
WHO ARE YOU?
ALL RIGHT.
WAIT.
MOVE.
WE FOUND ANOTHER SURVIVOR.
WATER.
PLEASE.
WATER.
PLEASE.
I NEED SOME WATER.
PLEASE...
GIVE ME SOME WATER.
WATER.
WATER.
WATER, PLEASE.
WATER.
I NEED SOME WATER.
PLEASE.
[ MOANING ]
LOCK HIM UP.
COME HERE.
COME HERE, PLEASE!
IT SHOULD
MOVE FAST NOW, SIR.
WE HAVE SEARCH TEAMS
WORKING IN FOUR AREAS.
THE ROADS ARE SEALED
AND BEFORE THEM
IS THE OCEAN.
THERE IS NO WAY
THEY CAN GET AWAY FROM US.
GOOD.
WELL, HAS
YOUR MEMORY RETURNED?
OR WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO BACK TO YOUR CELL
TO REFLECT A LITTLE MORE?
PLEASE.
PLEASE WHAT?
PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO BE
LOCKED UP AGAIN.
[ CRYING ]
I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT TO KNOW. EVERYTHING.
SUPPOSE WE BEGIN
WITH YOUR NAME?
YOUR REAL NAME.
EVE. EVE ROBERTSON.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'RE GOING TO FACE
THE COUNCIL.
THE MEN
WHO RUN THIS ISLAND.
WHO ARE THESE MEN?
WHERE ARE THEY FROM?
EVERYONE HERE WAS ONCE
A PRISONER ON SAN FELIPE.
SAN FELIPE?
YES, SAN FELIPE.
ISLAND OF THE DOOMED.
ISLAND OF NO RETURN.
WE WERE BEING FLOWN
TO THE MAINLAND
WHERE OUR DEATH SENTENCES
WOULD BE CARRIED OUT.
SO WE HIJACKED THE PLANE
AND WE FORCED THE PILOT
TO LAND HERE.
AND THEN, WE...
WE KILLED THE CREW
AND ALL THE GUARDS --
MASSACRED ALL OF THEM.
THEN, WE TOOK A VOW
NEVER TO BE TAKEN ALIVE.
[ WHISTLE ]
THAT'S OUR WARNING.
THERE'S AN AIRPLANE
PASSING OVER THE ISLAND.
THEY'RE SEARCHING
FOR ME!
WAIT. WAIT. DON'T GO OUT THERE.
THEY'LL KILL YOU.
THEY'LL SHOOT YOU ON THE SPOT --
THAT'S THE RULES.
NO ONE'S ALLOWED OUTSIDE WHEN
THE AIR-WARNING ALARM SOUNDS.
IF YOU GO OUT THERE,
THEY'LL KILL YOU.
SO, YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
IT WAS A QUESTION OF MONEY.
I WAS BROKE.
ACTING JOBS ARE HARD
TO COME BY IN NEW YORK.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
A STEWARDESS,
PLAY A PART.
THEY TOLD ME NOTHING
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEY PROMISED ME.
WHO ARE THEY?
[ CRYING ]
OH, I WISH I KNEW.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM ROT
FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME.
DID THEY TELL YOU
WHAT THEY WANTED?
UM...FERRAR.
A MAN NAMED MANUEL FERRAR.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO THINK
HE WAS IN A PLANE CRASH.
THEY WANTED
CERTAIN INFORMATION.
WHAT INFORMATION?
I DON'T KNOW.
[ CRYING ]
I DON'T KNOW.
PLEASE, YOU'VE GOT
TO BELIEVE ME.
I'M JUST AN ACTRESS.
I DON'T CARE
ABOUT POLITICS.
PLEASE.
UH...UM...I...I THINK
THAT THEY WANTED TO KNOW
THE REAL NAME OF...OF...
SOMEONE THEY CALLED PLATO.
DID THEY TELL YOU WHY
THEY WANTED THIS INFORMATION?
NO.
WAS THERE ANY MENTION
OF PRESIDENTE ROJAS?
NO.
MISS ROBERTSON.
OH, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!
PLEASE, I JUST
WANT TO SAVE MY LIFE.
PLEASE!
SO, YOU SAY YOUR NAME
IS PEDRO FONTANARA?
YOU'RE A CONSTRUCTION
ENGINEER?
YES.
"YES, SIR."
YES, SIR.
YOU'RE PHILIP LANG.
YOU'RE A DOCTOR?
WELL?
YES, SIR.
YOU READY
TO HEAR THE ARGUMENTS?
ARGUMENTS?
THERE ISN'T ENOUGH FOOD
FOR TWO MORE MOUTHS.
SO, WE TAKE A VOTE
AND DECIDE WHO DIES.
FIRST WE GIVE YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT ANY ARGUMENTS YOU
MAY HAVE IN YOUR OWN DEFENSE.
SO, YOU TELL US, GENTLEMEN,
WHICH OF YOU SHOULD LIVE
AND WHY --
YOU FIRST, FONTANARA.
YOU NEED ME...
AS MUCH AS I NEED YOU.
I HAVE ALREADY
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO STUDY THESE CAVES,
YOUR QUARTERS.
THERE ARE SIGNS OF EROSION,
OF IMMINENT DETERIORATION.
THE WALLS MUST BE SHORN UP
TO PREVENT A CAVE-IN
THAT COULD KILL YOU ALL.
I AM AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD.
IF I LIVE, YOU LIVE, TOO.
IF NOT...
AND WHERE IS
MANUEL FERRAR NOW?
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE IS.
WHERE IS HE?
PLEASE, PLEASE,
YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
WHY WOULD THEY TELL ME
WHERE THEY'RE KEEPING HIM?
OF COURSE.
THEY WOULD NOT TELL YOU
MORE THAN
THEY WANTED YOU TO KNOW.
PLEASE, PLEASE,
LET ME GO HOME NOW.
I'VE TOLD YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW.
YOU WILL NOTICE, BARATA,
THAT SHE TOLD US
ONLY WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW.
YOU ARE AN ACTRESS,
MISS ROBERTSON.
A VERY GOOD ONE.
YOU'RE ALSO A LIAR
OF SOME SKILL,
BUT A LIAR NEVERTHELESS!
ALL RIGHT, COLONEL.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AM AN AGENT.
I WORK
FOR AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
WE WERE SENT HERE
TO TRY TO FIND OUT
WHO FERRAR SENT
TO KILL ROJAS.
NOW, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TO SAVE MY LIFE?
YOU CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE BY
TAKING ME TO MANUEL FERRAR.
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE IS.
YOU...
ARE STILL PLAYING GAMES.
SHOOT ME IF YOU WANT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
COLONEL DIAZ,
DO YOU AND FERRAR
ALWAYS TELL YOUR AGENTS
MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO KNOW?
IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT NOT EVEN YOU
KNOW WHO PLATO REALLY IS.
SUPPOSE
I WERE TO BELIEVE YOU?
WHAT DO YOU HAVE LEFT
TO BARGAIN WITH?
WE HAVE A RENDEZVOUS POINT.
THE EL CONQUISTADOR HOTEL.
IF THEY THINK I'M THERE,
THEY'LL CONTACT ME.
PERHAPS I CAN FIND OUT
WHERE FERRAR IS BEING HELD.
PERHAPS NOT.
IF THEY CONTACT ME,
I WILL GET YOUR INFORMATION
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
AND IF I FAIL,
YOU STILL HAVE ME, RIGHT?
THEY ALREADY KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CAPTURED.
PUT OUT AN ALARM.
SAY I'VE ESCAPED.
SAY I OVERPOWERED
MISS UNIVERSE OVER THERE.
RELEASE HER.
YOU WON'T BE SORRY
FOR THIS, COLONEL.
BARATA, I WANT
CLOSE SURVEILLANCE ON HER.
TAP ALL PHONES COMING INTO
THE EL CONQUISTADOR.
I WANT BOTH ROOMS
ON EITHER SIDE OF HER
OCCUPIED BY OUR MEN.
WHAT ABOUT THE ESCAPE STORY?
THEY'LL PROBABLY BE MONITORING
OUR POLICE BANDS.
PUT OUT THE APPROPRIATE ALARM.
YES, COLONEL.
BARATA...
THE ARRANGEMENTS --
BE VERY CAREFUL.
SHE'S A VERY CLEVER
YOUNG WOMAN.
YOU'VE HEARD THE ARGUMENTS
OF THE DOCTOR AND THE ENGINEER.
YOU'VE CAST YOUR VOTES.
FROM THIS VOTE,
THERE'S NO APPEAL.
DOCTOR.
DOCTOR.
ENGINEER.
ENGINEER.
DOCTOR.
ENGINEER.
THREE FOR EACH.
BEFORE I CAST THE DECIDING VOTE,
HAVE YOU ANYTHING MORE TO SAY
IN YOUR DEFENSE?
YOU?
YES.
WHO ARE YOU, ANY OF YOU,
TO STAND IN JUDGMENT ON ME?
I CONTROL MY OWN DESTINY!
THE DECIDING VOTE
HAS BEEN CAST.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
YOU'RE RIGHT, FONTANARA.
YOU SPEAK THE LANGUAGE
OF THE ISLAND.
THE DECIDING VOTE HAS BEEN CAST.
GENTLEMEN, I THINK
WE ARE PERSUADED
THAT AN ENGINEER
IS MORE USEFUL THAN A DOCTOR.
IT WON'T BE LONG NOW, SIR.
OUR MISS ROBERTSON
HAS BEEN CONTACTED
AT THE EL CONQUISTADOR.
THEY'RE SENDING SOMEONE
FOR HER.
ONCE AGAIN, THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE AMERICAN AGENT
WHO ESCAPED CUSTODY
THIS AFTERNOON --
FEMALE, APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS
OLD, BROWN HAIR, BROWN EYES.
IT'S DANA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THAT FOR REAL?
I DON'T KNOW.
BARNEY'S GOING TO HAVE
TO PLAY IT BY EAR.
[ BANGING ]
MARCOS, RAMóN MARCOS.
YOU WERE A DEEP-COVER AGENT
ON SAN FELIPE.
BEFORE THAT, YOU WERE ATTACHED
TO THE CUBAN EMBASSY.
AND BEFORE THAT
YOU WERE OUR CONTACT
ON PRESIDENTE ROJAS'
PERSONAL STAFF.
MARCOS, I AM FERRAR.
MANUEL FERRAR.
NO. MANUEL FERRAR
IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
I KNOW HIM WELL.
YOU AND I NEVER MET.
WELL...THEN,
YOU COULD BE ANYBODY.
HOW ELSE WOULD I KNOW YOU
IF I WERE NOT FERRAR?
I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T RISK IT.
I HAVE INFORMATION
FROM SAN FELIPE SO VITAL
THAT IF IT IS NOT DELIVERED,
OUR ENTIRE CAUSE
WILL BE DESTROYED.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT INFORMATION?
TELL ME.
AN AGENT WE TRUSTED, PLATO,
IS WORKING
FOR AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
HE WAS TO GATHER
DAMNING EVIDENCE
THAT YOU AND DIAZ
ARE TRAITORS.
THEN, TURN IT OVER TO ROJAS
SO ROJAS WOULD GET RID OF YOU.
NO. YOU'RE LYING.
A PRISONER ON SAN FELIPE
MADE A DEATHBED STATEMENT.
JUAN SANCHEZ, THE MAN
WHO KNEW PLATO PERSONALLY.
SANCHEZ?
YES, OF COURSE.
SANCHEZ.
BUT WHY DID YOU WAIT?
YOU HAD THE RAFT.
SURELY THERE
WAS AN OPPORTUNITY SOMETIME.
THE OTHERS --
THEY'VE NEVER TRUSTED ME.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW
DIFFICULT IT'S BEEN FOR ME
TO GET ALL THIS TOGETHER.
THERE ARE PLANES WHICH
CROSS OVER THIS ISLAND.
YOU HAVE FLARES.
WE MUST USE THEM.
IT IS IMPERATIVE
I REACH DIAZ!
WE CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL DARK.
WE MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
NO. I'LL SHOW YOU WHY.
YOU SEE, HE'S ARMED.
THIS AREA
IS ALWAYS PATROLLED.
OUR ONLY HOPE IS AT NIGHT.
I'VE WAITED SO LONG.
MAYBE WITH YOUR HELP.
ONE OF US MUST MAKE IT.
GET THE RAFT READY.
[ RINGS ]
GOOD.
THE AMERICAN'S
ON HIS WAY UP.
WE'RE LEAVING
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
THEY'LL BE PICKING US UP
ANY TIME NOW.
DID FERRAR TALK?
NEVER MIND HIM.
DID YOU TALK?
I ONLY TOLD THEM
WHAT THEY ALREADY KNEW.
GOOD. WILL YOU FIX ME
A DRINK WHILE WE WAIT?
WE'RE WAITING HERE,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
JUST A FEW STEPS
FROM THE MAIN CHAMBER
IN WHICH PRESIDENT ROJAS
WILL ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING
OF THE MUTUAL ASSISTANCE PACT.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THE AREA'S RAPIDLY FILLING
WITH NEWS REPORTERS
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES,
PRESIDENTE ADOLFO ROJAS
WILL ARRIVE.
IT WAS A SCANT 10 YEARS AGO
THAT AN OBSCURE, YOUNG
AIR FORCE COLONEL,
ADOLFO ROJAS,
WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF
A COUNTRY TORN WITH REVOLUTION,
ITS PEOPLE POOR AND SICK.
TODAY, A SHORT DECADE LATER,
THAT SAME COUNTRY IS STABLE,
ITS PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS
AND HEALTHY...
IS FERRAR GOING WITH US?
HE HASN'T TALKED.
SALUD.
SALUD.
PRESIDENT ROJAS
IS A NEW BREED
OF CARIBBEAN LEADER.
HE A IS MAN OF THE PEOPLE...
HE SHOT PEREZ.
WHY DID YOU USE THE GUN?
THEY MUST HAVE HEARD THE SHOT.
THEY'LL FIND US.
MOVE!
MUST BE IN THIS AREA.
THEY'LL FIND US.
THE ROCKS!
WE'LL NEVER GET OUT
OF HERE.
HERE, YOU KEEP THEM BUSY
UNTIL I'M OUT OF RANGE.
I'M TAKING THE RAFT.
WAIT, NO! YOU'RE ASKING ME
TO COVER YOUR ESCAPE.
I'M NOT ASKING, MARCOS,
I'M ORDERING.
I'VE GOT TO DEAL
WITH PLATO IMMEDIATELY.
YOU'RE ORDERING ME
TO SACRIFICE MYSELF!
AT LEAST ON THE RAFT,
I'D HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M ASKING YOU
FOR OUR CAUSE.
BUT WHY ME?!
WHY MUST I DIE?
[ SCRAPING ]
HERE THEY ARE.
MARCOS, FONTANARA,
THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS
AND COME OUT!
BRING UP THE EXPLOSIVES!
NO! NO, PLEASE.
DON'T MAKE ME GO.
OH, PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO IT.
LET ME LIVE.
[ Crying ] LET ME LIVE.
LET ME LIVE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-I WANT TO STAY HERE.
WITH YOU COVERING, WE'D
BOTH BE DEAD, ANYWAY.
GO!
I'LL SEND HELP, I PROMISE.
NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.
LISTEN.
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
PLATO IS JOSé SANTOS,
THE JOURNALIST.
I WANT YOU TO GO
TO FRANCISCO DIAZ
AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING
YOU'VE TOLD ME ABOUT PLATO.
NOW, GO!
SANTOS. JOSé SANTOS.
JOURNALIST.
GOT IT. GOT IT.
REMEMBER THE NAME.
JOSé SANTOS. JOURNALIST.
GET WORD TO DIAZ.
MY ORDERS ARE TO DISPOSE
OF HIM IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
[ CLICKS ]
[ GUN THUMPS ]
...HIS GREAT DESIRE
FOR AN EDUCATION HAS SHOWN
THAT AFTER 10 HOURS
OF WORKING IN THE FIELDS
ALL DAY,
HE WOULD GO HOME TO
THOSE OLD ENCYCLOPEDIAS AND...
I CAN'T HEAR THEM.
...HOUR OF STUDYING
LED HIM
TO THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY,
THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY,
AND LATER, THE PRESIDENCY
OF THIS COUNTRY...
...IT WAS HIS REAL
POVERTY-STRICKEN BACKGROUND
THAT BROUGHT HIM TO THE PEOPLE
AND TO OUR COUNTRY,
AND THUS,
THE SIGNING TODAY OF...
ALL RIGHT. COME ON.
...WE'RE EXPECTING
PRESIDENT ROJAS ANY MINUTE,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SO STAY RIGHT WITH US
IF YOU WILL, PLEASE.
SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF
A DISTURBANCE.
STAY WITH US.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
PRESIDENTE ROJAS.
PRESIDENT ROJAS,
CONGRATULATIONS.
-GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
-THANK YOU.
TEN YEARS IS A LONG TIME
WHEN WE COVERED
YOUR FIRST ELECTION.
-AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.
-THANK YOU AGAIN.

ON WEDNESDAY MORNING,
ADOLFO ROJAS ADDRESSES
A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
BEFORE HE ENTERS
THE CONGRESSIONAL CHAMBERS,
ROJAS WILL BE DEAD,
HIS GOVERNMENT TAKEN OVER
BY MANUEL FERRAR,
HIS CHIEF OF INTERNAL SECURITY.
THE MURDERER WILL BE
A PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN
WITH THE CODE NAME "PLATO,"
WHOSE TRUE IDENTITY
IS KNOWN ONLY TO FERRAR.

IS TO LEARN PLATO'S IDENTITY
AND TRANSMIT THE INFORMATION

AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,

FERRAR IS BRAVE, DEDICATED.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING
FOR HIS CAUSE, PARIS.
DIAZ -- CLEVER, RESOURCEFUL.
TOGETHER,
THEY MAKE A DEADLY TEAM.
BUT ONLY FERRAR
KNOWS PLATO'S TRUE IDENTITY?
ONLY FERRAR KNOWS,
AND ONLY FERRAR CAN TELL US.
NOW...
THIS IS OUR FERRAR, DOUG.
HE'S A GOOD DOUBLE.
HE'LL BE ON THE AIRPLANE.
THIS IS EVERYTHING
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THE DEEP-COVER AGENT
RAMóN MARCOS.
SIX MONTHS AGO, HE WAS ASSIGNED
TO POSE AS A POLITICAL PRISONER
IN THE PENAL COLONY
ON SAN FELIPE ISLAND.
WHEN HE COMPLETED
HIS ASSIGNMENT,
THE PLANE CARRYING HIM AND A
NUMBER OF LEGITIMATE PRISONERS
VANISHED AT SEA.
THEN MARCOS AND FERRAR
NEVER MET.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WILL DANA BE
ON THE ISLAND WITH US?
NO, WE'LL RENDEZVOUS WITH DANA
AT EL CONQUISTADO HOTEL.

OF THE PRESIDENTE'S
TRAGIC DEATH.
YOU ARE A VERY EFFICIENT
YOUNG MAN, DIAZ.
I LEARNED IT ALL
FROM YOU, MANUEL.
YOU MAY BOARD, DR. LANG.
THANK YOU.
BOARD WHENEVER YOU WISH,
SEÑOR FERRAR.
THANK YOU.
I'LL WATCH YOUR PLANE
TAKE OFF, MANUEL.
THANK YOU.
YOU MAY BOARD.
CAN'T YOU WATCH
WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
WELCOME ABOARD.
OH, EXCUSE ME.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
CHARLIE?
CHARLIE, WAKE UP!
CHARLIE! PLEASE!
STEWARDESS!
YES?
WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M A DOCTOR.
HE HAD A HEART ATTACK
TWO YEARS AGO.
HE'S HAVING ANOTHER.
HE NEEDS IMMEDIATE
HOSPITALIZATION.
HAVE THE PILOT
RADIO THE TOWER
FOR AN AMBULANCE.
I TELL YOU, MY TICKET WAS
IN MY WALLET.
ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT HERE.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
PLEASE RETURN MY WALLET
AND MY PASSPORT,
AND I WON'T PRESS CHARGES.
YOUR WALLET?
WHY, YOU'RE ABSO--
GUARD!
YOU ASKED FOR IT.
SEÑOR.
THIS GENTLEMAN ACCIDENTALLY
BUMPED INTO ME,
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
MY WALLET AND MY PLANE
TICKET DISAPPEARED.
NOW, I WAS WARNED TO BE CAREFUL
WHEN I CAME DOWN HERE.
NOW, IF YOU PEOPLE REALLY WANT
TOURISTS TO COME HERE,
YOU BETTER WATCH
THESE INCIDENTS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
A THOUSAND APOLOGIES,
SEÑOR DIAZ.
NOW, YOU --
SEÑOR, THIS WAS FOUND
ON THE FLOOR OF THE MEN'S ROOM.
MY WALLET!
SEE THAT EVERYTHING
IS IN ORDER, SEÑOR.
MM-HMM. MM-HMM.
HMM. I CAN'T IMAGINE
HOW I LOST IT.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
YOU MAY NOTICE
THAT THE "NO SMOKING" SIGN
HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
REFRESHMENTS
WILL BE SERVED SHORTLY.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
WE'LL HAVE YOU BACK IN
THE AIR SOON, SEÑOR FERRAR.
[ TIRES SCREECHING ]
YOU STUPID IDIOT!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?!
YOU ALMOST KILLED US!
THEY'RE OKAY, PARIS.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
POLICE!
STRANGE.
WHEN WE CALLED THE HOSPITAL,
THEY HAD NO RECORD
OF ANY SUCH AMBULANCE.
AND FURTHERMORE,
IT WAS LAST SEEN
IN THE SANTA CRISTINA AREA.
IT'S A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT.
THERE ARE NO HOSPITALS.
WELL, BARATA, IT APPEARS THAT
YOU MUST FIND THAT AMBULANCE.
OHH. OHH.
YOU'VE HAD QUITE A NAP.
MM.
8:00?
YES, YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP
FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS.
OH, SIR,
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED.
WE'RE EXPECTING
SOME TURBULENCE.
YOU, TOO, SIR. PLEASE
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT.
[ SEAT BELTS CLICK ]
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP
A LITTLE TAIL WIND
SO IT MAY GET A BIT BUMPY
NOW AND THEN.
BUT OUR GROUNDSPEED
IS NOW 615 MILES PER HOUR.
WE'RE APPROXIMATELY
1,500 MILES FROM WASHINGTON,
AND I ESTIMATE
WE'LL LAND ON TIME.
IN FIVE MINUTES,
WE'LL BE PASSING OVER
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR DEEP LAGOONS
AND RUGGED COASTLINES.
KIMBERLY ISLANDS.
ISN'T THAT WHERE
THAT PENAL COLONY IS?
SAN FELIPE?
EVERYBODY, KEEP CALM.
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED.
EVERYBODY, KEEP CALM.
THE AIRCRAFT
IS UNDER CONTROL.
PLEASE, REMAIN SEATED.
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS.
WE'VE HAD
AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION
IN NUMBER-FOUR ENGINE.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT. NOTHING AT ALL.
IF YOU'LL ALL REMAIN
IN YOUR SEATS
AND FOLLOW
THE STEWARDESS' INSTRUCTIONS,
NOBODY WILL BE INJURED.
HOWEVER, AS A PRECAUTION,
ALL PASSENGERS WILL
FOLLOW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.
I REPEAT,
THIS IS ONLY AS A PRECAUTION.
[ RUMBLING ]
OH, HELP!
IT'S GOING TO CRASH!
AAH!
THE ENGINE'S ON FIRE!
SOMEBODY!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
CRASH!
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
HELP!
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
LOOK OUT!
WE'RE GONNA CRASH!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
[ SHOUTING CONTINUES ]
I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
PLEASE, PROTECT ME!
PLEASE, PROTECT ME!
HE'S HYSTERICAL.
IF YOU MUST DIE,
DIE LIKE A MAN.
[ SOBBING ]
DANA!
ALL RIGHT, BARNEY.
LET'S DISMANTLE
AND GET OUT OF HERE, BARNEY.
JIM.
EVERYBODY OUT NOW.
FORGET IT, BARNEY.
DANA!
TAPES.
NO!
GO!
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT DANA?
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO
RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE WORKING AGAINST TIME,
PARIS.
WE HAVE TO BREAK FERRAR
BEFORE DIAZ CATCHES UP WITH US.
WE CAN'T JUST WRITE HER OFF.
WELL, THE FIRST MOVE
IS UP TO HER, PARIS.
SHE HAS TO FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO GET TO EL CONQUISTADOR HOTEL.
ONCE SHE GETS THERE,
WE CAN HELP HER,
BUT NOT BEFORE.
IF SHE GETS THERE.
THIS IS CAPTAIN JENKINS AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP
A LITTLE TAIL WIND
SO IT MAY GET A BIT BUMPY
NOW AND THEN.
"MANUEL FERRAR ARRIVED
IN WASHINGTON, FLIGHT 20."
A MAN POSING AS MANUEL
ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON.
IN FIVE MINUTES,
WE'LL BE PASSING OVER
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR --
[ RECORDING STOPS ]
AN AMBULANCE TAKES
A CRITICALLY ILL PASSENGER
OFF A PLANE.
LATER, IN THAT SAME
AMBULANCE, WE FIND...
A STEWARDESS.
THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE
HE HAS ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON
AND HIM TO BELIEVE HE
HAS BEEN IN A PLANE CRASH.
BUT WHY?
WHEN HE WAKES UP,
THEY WILL TRY
TO MAKE HIM BELIEVE
THAT HE'S...
IN THE HOSPITAL.
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS.
OR ON AN ISLAND.
THE SOUTH KIMBERLY ISLANDS,
NOTED FOR THEIR DEEP LAGOONS
AND RUGGED COAS--
BARATA, I WANT
EVERY AVAILABLE MAN.
SEARCH PARTIES MUST BE
ASSEMBLED IMMEDIATELY.
I WANT THEM TO SEARCH
EVERY LINE OF THE COAST.
WE WILL FIND THEM, COLONEL.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
[ WAVES CRASHING ]
[ BIRDS CALLING ]
[ GASPING ]
WHO ARE YOU?
ALL RIGHT.
WAIT.
MOVE.
WE FOUND ANOTHER SURVIVOR.
WATER.
PLEASE.
WATER.
PLEASE.
I NEED SOME WATER.
PLEASE...
GIVE ME SOME WATER.
WATER.
WATER.
WATER, PLEASE.
WATER.
I NEED SOME WATER.
PLEASE.
[ MOANING ]
LOCK HIM UP.
COME HERE.
COME HERE, PLEASE!
IT SHOULD
MOVE FAST NOW, SIR.
WE HAVE SEARCH TEAMS
WORKING IN FOUR AREAS.
THE ROADS ARE SEALED
AND BEFORE THEM
IS THE OCEAN.
THERE IS NO WAY
THEY CAN GET AWAY FROM US.
GOOD.
WELL, HAS
YOUR MEMORY RETURNED?
OR WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO BACK TO YOUR CELL
TO REFLECT A LITTLE MORE?
PLEASE.
PLEASE WHAT?
PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO BE
LOCKED UP AGAIN.
[ CRYING ]
I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT TO KNOW. EVERYTHING.
SUPPOSE WE BEGIN
WITH YOUR NAME?
YOUR REAL NAME.
EVE. EVE ROBERTSON.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'RE GOING TO FACE
THE COUNCIL.
THE MEN
WHO RUN THIS ISLAND.
WHO ARE THESE MEN?
WHERE ARE THEY FROM?
EVERYONE HERE WAS ONCE
A PRISONER ON SAN FELIPE.
SAN FELIPE?
YES, SAN FELIPE.
ISLAND OF THE DOOMED.
ISLAND OF NO RETURN.
WE WERE BEING FLOWN
TO THE MAINLAND
WHERE OUR DEATH SENTENCES
WOULD BE CARRIED OUT.
SO WE HIJACKED THE PLANE
AND WE FORCED THE PILOT
TO LAND HERE.
AND THEN, WE...
WE KILLED THE CREW
AND ALL THE GUARDS --
MASSACRED ALL OF THEM.
THEN, WE TOOK A VOW
NEVER TO BE TAKEN ALIVE.
[ WHISTLE ]
THAT'S OUR WARNING.
THERE'S AN AIRPLANE
PASSING OVER THE ISLAND.
THEY'RE SEARCHING
FOR ME!
WAIT. WAIT. DON'T GO OUT THERE.
THEY'LL KILL YOU.
THEY'LL SHOOT YOU ON THE SPOT --
THAT'S THE RULES.
NO ONE'S ALLOWED OUTSIDE WHEN
THE AIR-WARNING ALARM SOUNDS.
IF YOU GO OUT THERE,
THEY'LL KILL YOU.
SO, YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
IT WAS A QUESTION OF MONEY.
I WAS BROKE.
ACTING JOBS ARE HARD
TO COME BY IN NEW YORK.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
A STEWARDESS,
PLAY A PART.
THEY TOLD ME NOTHING
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEY PROMISED ME.
WHO ARE THEY?
[ CRYING ]
OH, I WISH I KNEW.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM ROT
FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME.
DID THEY TELL YOU
WHAT THEY WANTED?
UM...FERRAR.
A MAN NAMED MANUEL FERRAR.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO THINK
HE WAS IN A PLANE CRASH.
THEY WANTED
CERTAIN INFORMATION.
WHAT INFORMATION?
I DON'T KNOW.
[ CRYING ]
I DON'T KNOW.
PLEASE, YOU'VE GOT
TO BELIEVE ME.
I'M JUST AN ACTRESS.
I DON'T CARE
ABOUT POLITICS.
PLEASE.
UH...UM...I...I THINK
THAT THEY WANTED TO KNOW
THE REAL NAME OF...OF...
SOMEONE THEY CALLED PLATO.
DID THEY TELL YOU WHY
THEY WANTED THIS INFORMATION?
NO.
WAS THERE ANY MENTION
OF PRESIDENTE ROJAS?
NO.
MISS ROBERTSON.
OH, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!
PLEASE, I JUST
WANT TO SAVE MY LIFE.
PLEASE!
SO, YOU SAY YOUR NAME
IS PEDRO FONTANARA?
YOU'RE A CONSTRUCTION
ENGINEER?
YES.
"YES, SIR."
YES, SIR.
YOU'RE PHILIP LANG.
YOU'RE A DOCTOR?
WELL?
YES, SIR.
YOU READY
TO HEAR THE ARGUMENTS?
ARGUMENTS?
THERE ISN'T ENOUGH FOOD
FOR TWO MORE MOUTHS.
SO, WE TAKE A VOTE
AND DECIDE WHO DIES.
FIRST WE GIVE YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT ANY ARGUMENTS YOU
MAY HAVE IN YOUR OWN DEFENSE.
SO, YOU TELL US, GENTLEMEN,
WHICH OF YOU SHOULD LIVE
AND WHY --
YOU FIRST, FONTANARA.
YOU NEED ME...
AS MUCH AS I NEED YOU.
I HAVE ALREADY
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO STUDY THESE CAVES,
YOUR QUARTERS.
THERE ARE SIGNS OF EROSION,
OF IMMINENT DETERIORATION.
THE WALLS MUST BE SHORN UP
TO PREVENT A CAVE-IN
THAT COULD KILL YOU ALL.
I AM AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD.
IF I LIVE, YOU LIVE, TOO.
IF NOT...
AND WHERE IS
MANUEL FERRAR NOW?
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE IS.
WHERE IS HE?
PLEASE, PLEASE,
YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
WHY WOULD THEY TELL ME
WHERE THEY'RE KEEPING HIM?
OF COURSE.
THEY WOULD NOT TELL YOU
MORE THAN
THEY WANTED YOU TO KNOW.
PLEASE, PLEASE,
LET ME GO HOME NOW.
I'VE TOLD YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW.
YOU WILL NOTICE, BARATA,
THAT SHE TOLD US
ONLY WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW.
YOU ARE AN ACTRESS,
MISS ROBERTSON.
A VERY GOOD ONE.
YOU'RE ALSO A LIAR
OF SOME SKILL,
BUT A LIAR NEVERTHELESS!
ALL RIGHT, COLONEL.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AM AN AGENT.
I WORK
FOR AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
WE WERE SENT HERE
TO TRY TO FIND OUT
WHO FERRAR SENT
TO KILL ROJAS.
NOW, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TO SAVE MY LIFE?
YOU CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE BY
TAKING ME TO MANUEL FERRAR.
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE IS.
YOU...
ARE STILL PLAYING GAMES.
SHOOT ME IF YOU WANT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
COLONEL DIAZ,
DO YOU AND FERRAR
ALWAYS TELL YOUR AGENTS
MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO KNOW?
IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT NOT EVEN YOU
KNOW WHO PLATO REALLY IS.
SUPPOSE
I WERE TO BELIEVE YOU?
WHAT DO YOU HAVE LEFT
TO BARGAIN WITH?
WE HAVE A RENDEZVOUS POINT.
THE EL CONQUISTADOR HOTEL.
IF THEY THINK I'M THERE,
THEY'LL CONTACT ME.
PERHAPS I CAN FIND OUT
WHERE FERRAR IS BEING HELD.
PERHAPS NOT.
IF THEY CONTACT ME,
I WILL GET YOUR INFORMATION
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
AND IF I FAIL,
YOU STILL HAVE ME, RIGHT?
THEY ALREADY KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CAPTURED.
PUT OUT AN ALARM.
SAY I'VE ESCAPED.
SAY I OVERPOWERED
MISS UNIVERSE OVER THERE.
RELEASE HER.
YOU WON'T BE SORRY
FOR THIS, COLONEL.
BARATA, I WANT
CLOSE SURVEILLANCE ON HER.
TAP ALL PHONES COMING INTO
THE EL CONQUISTADOR.
I WANT BOTH ROOMS
ON EITHER SIDE OF HER
OCCUPIED BY OUR MEN.
WHAT ABOUT THE ESCAPE STORY?
THEY'LL PROBABLY BE MONITORING
OUR POLICE BANDS.
PUT OUT THE APPROPRIATE ALARM.
YES, COLONEL.
BARATA...
THE ARRANGEMENTS --
BE VERY CAREFUL.
SHE'S A VERY CLEVER
YOUNG WOMAN.
YOU'VE HEARD THE ARGUMENTS
OF THE DOCTOR AND THE ENGINEER.
YOU'VE CAST YOUR VOTES.
FROM THIS VOTE,
THERE'S NO APPEAL.
DOCTOR.
DOCTOR.
ENGINEER.
ENGINEER.
DOCTOR.
ENGINEER.
THREE FOR EACH.
BEFORE I CAST THE DECIDING VOTE,
HAVE YOU ANYTHING MORE TO SAY
IN YOUR DEFENSE?
YOU?
YES.
WHO ARE YOU, ANY OF YOU,
TO STAND IN JUDGMENT ON ME?
I CONTROL MY OWN DESTINY!
THE DECIDING VOTE
HAS BEEN CAST.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
YOU'RE RIGHT, FONTANARA.
YOU SPEAK THE LANGUAGE
OF THE ISLAND.
THE DECIDING VOTE HAS BEEN CAST.
GENTLEMEN, I THINK
WE ARE PERSUADED
THAT AN ENGINEER
IS MORE USEFUL THAN A DOCTOR.
IT WON'T BE LONG NOW, SIR.
OUR MISS ROBERTSON
HAS BEEN CONTACTED
AT THE EL CONQUISTADOR.
THEY'RE SENDING SOMEONE
FOR HER.
ONCE AGAIN, THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE AMERICAN AGENT
WHO ESCAPED CUSTODY
THIS AFTERNOON --
FEMALE, APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS
OLD, BROWN HAIR, BROWN EYES.
IT'S DANA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THAT FOR REAL?
I DON'T KNOW.
BARNEY'S GOING TO HAVE
TO PLAY IT BY EAR.
[ BANGING ]
MARCOS, RAMóN MARCOS.
YOU WERE A DEEP-COVER AGENT
ON SAN FELIPE.
BEFORE THAT, YOU WERE ATTACHED
TO THE CUBAN EMBASSY.
AND BEFORE THAT
YOU WERE OUR CONTACT
ON PRESIDENTE ROJAS'
PERSONAL STAFF.
MARCOS, I AM FERRAR.
MANUEL FERRAR.
NO. MANUEL FERRAR
IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
I KNOW HIM WELL.
YOU AND I NEVER MET.
WELL...THEN,
YOU COULD BE ANYBODY.
HOW ELSE WOULD I KNOW YOU
IF I WERE NOT FERRAR?
I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T RISK IT.
I HAVE INFORMATION
FROM SAN FELIPE SO VITAL
THAT IF IT IS NOT DELIVERED,
OUR ENTIRE CAUSE
WILL BE DESTROYED.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT INFORMATION?
TELL ME.
AN AGENT WE TRUSTED, PLATO,
IS WORKING
FOR AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
HE WAS TO GATHER
DAMNING EVIDENCE
THAT YOU AND DIAZ
ARE TRAITORS.
THEN, TURN IT OVER TO ROJAS
SO ROJAS WOULD GET RID OF YOU.
NO. YOU'RE LYING.
A PRISONER ON SAN FELIPE
MADE A DEATHBED STATEMENT.
JUAN SANCHEZ, THE MAN
WHO KNEW PLATO PERSONALLY.
SANCHEZ?
YES, OF COURSE.
SANCHEZ.
BUT WHY DID YOU WAIT?
YOU HAD THE RAFT.
SURELY THERE
WAS AN OPPORTUNITY SOMETIME.
THE OTHERS --
THEY'VE NEVER TRUSTED ME.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW
DIFFICULT IT'S BEEN FOR ME
TO GET ALL THIS TOGETHER.
THERE ARE PLANES WHICH
CROSS OVER THIS ISLAND.
YOU HAVE FLARES.
WE MUST USE THEM.
IT IS IMPERATIVE
I REACH DIAZ!
WE CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL DARK.
WE MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
NO. I'LL SHOW YOU WHY.
YOU SEE, HE'S ARMED.
THIS AREA
IS ALWAYS PATROLLED.
OUR ONLY HOPE IS AT NIGHT.
I'VE WAITED SO LONG.
MAYBE WITH YOUR HELP.
ONE OF US MUST MAKE IT.
GET THE RAFT READY.
[ RINGS ]
GOOD.
THE AMERICAN'S
ON HIS WAY UP.
WE'RE LEAVING
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
THEY'LL BE PICKING US UP
ANY TIME NOW.
DID FERRAR TALK?
NEVER MIND HIM.
DID YOU TALK?
I ONLY TOLD THEM
WHAT THEY ALREADY KNEW.
GOOD. WILL YOU FIX ME
A DRINK WHILE WE WAIT?
WE'RE WAITING HERE,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
JUST A FEW STEPS
FROM THE MAIN CHAMBER
IN WHICH PRESIDENT ROJAS
WILL ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING
OF THE MUTUAL ASSISTANCE PACT.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THE AREA'S RAPIDLY FILLING
WITH NEWS REPORTERS
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES,
PRESIDENTE ADOLFO ROJAS
WILL ARRIVE.
IT WAS A SCANT 10 YEARS AGO
THAT AN OBSCURE, YOUNG
AIR FORCE COLONEL,
ADOLFO ROJAS,
WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF
A COUNTRY TORN WITH REVOLUTION,
ITS PEOPLE POOR AND SICK.
TODAY, A SHORT DECADE LATER,
THAT SAME COUNTRY IS STABLE,
ITS PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS
AND HEALTHY...
IS FERRAR GOING WITH US?
HE HASN'T TALKED.
SALUD.
SALUD.
PRESIDENT ROJAS
IS A NEW BREED
OF CARIBBEAN LEADER.
HE A IS MAN OF THE PEOPLE...
HE SHOT PEREZ.
WHY DID YOU USE THE GUN?
THEY MUST HAVE HEARD THE SHOT.
THEY'LL FIND US.
MOVE!
MUST BE IN THIS AREA.
THEY'LL FIND US.
THE ROCKS!
WE'LL NEVER GET OUT
OF HERE.
HERE, YOU KEEP THEM BUSY
UNTIL I'M OUT OF RANGE.
I'M TAKING THE RAFT.
WAIT, NO! YOU'RE ASKING ME
TO COVER YOUR ESCAPE.
I'M NOT ASKING, MARCOS,
I'M ORDERING.
I'VE GOT TO DEAL
WITH PLATO IMMEDIATELY.
YOU'RE ORDERING ME
TO SACRIFICE MYSELF!
AT LEAST ON THE RAFT,
I'D HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M ASKING YOU
FOR OUR CAUSE.
BUT WHY ME?!
WHY MUST I DIE?
[ SCRAPING ]
HERE THEY ARE.
MARCOS, FONTANARA,
THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS
AND COME OUT!
BRING UP THE EXPLOSIVES!
NO! NO, PLEASE.
DON'T MAKE ME GO.
OH, PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO IT.
LET ME LIVE.
[ Crying ] LET ME LIVE.
LET ME LIVE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-I WANT TO STAY HERE.
WITH YOU COVERING, WE'D
BOTH BE DEAD, ANYWAY.
GO!
I'LL SEND HELP, I PROMISE.
NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.
LISTEN.
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
PLATO IS JOSé SANTOS,
THE JOURNALIST.
I WANT YOU TO GO
TO FRANCISCO DIAZ
AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING
YOU'VE TOLD ME ABOUT PLATO.
NOW, GO!
SANTOS. JOSé SANTOS.
JOURNALIST.
GOT IT. GOT IT.
REMEMBER THE NAME.
JOSé SANTOS. JOURNALIST.
GET WORD TO DIAZ.
MY ORDERS ARE TO DISPOSE
OF HIM IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
[ CLICKS ]
[ GUN THUMPS ]
...HIS GREAT DESIRE
FOR AN EDUCATION HAS SHOWN
THAT AFTER 10 HOURS
OF WORKING IN THE FIELDS
ALL DAY,
HE WOULD GO HOME TO
THOSE OLD ENCYCLOPEDIAS AND...
I CAN'T HEAR THEM.
...HOUR OF STUDYING
LED HIM
TO THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY,
THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY,
AND LATER, THE PRESIDENCY
OF THIS COUNTRY...
...IT WAS HIS REAL
POVERTY-STRICKEN BACKGROUND
THAT BROUGHT HIM TO THE PEOPLE
AND TO OUR COUNTRY,
AND THUS,
THE SIGNING TODAY OF...
ALL RIGHT. COME ON.
...WE'RE EXPECTING
PRESIDENT ROJAS ANY MINUTE,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SO STAY RIGHT WITH US
IF YOU WILL, PLEASE.
SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF
A DISTURBANCE.
STAY WITH US.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
PRESIDENTE ROJAS.
PRESIDENT ROJAS,
CONGRATULATIONS.
-GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
-THANK YOU.
TEN YEARS IS A LONG TIME
WHEN WE COVERED
YOUR FIRST ELECTION.
-AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.
-THANK YOU AGAIN.
