Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 5, Episode 8 - Decoy - full transcript

ANNA.

THANK GOD!

ANNA, DON'T INTERFERE.

DON'T INTERFERE?

AM I TO STAND BY AND WATCH
MY BROTHER SHOOT HIMSELF?

PLEASE! I WANT TO DIE.

I WAS TO BE DEAD BY THE TIME YOU
CAME HOME FROM THE RECEPTION.

BUT WHY, ALEXI? WHY?

THERE IS TO BE A PURGE --

ALL OF PAPA'S MEN STILL
IN THE GOVERNMENT -- AND ME.

YOU?



THE PARTY WANTS TO ELIMINATE
ALL VESTIGE OF PAPA'S INFLUENCE.

THEY CAN'T!
WE'LL FIGHT THEM.

ANNA, BE REALISTIC.
THERE IS NO WAY TO FIGHT THEM.

I WON'T LET YOU DIE.
WE'LL RUN AWAY.

WE COULDN'T EVEN GET
ACROSS THE BORDER WITHOUT HELP.

AND WHO WILL HELP US?

THE AMERICANS, YOU THINK, HUH?

YES.

THE AMERICANS.

IF I GO TO THE AMERICAN
AMBASSADOR --

ANNA, YOU ARE SO NAIVE.

WHY SHOULD THEY INTERFERE?

UNLESS...

THERE'S JUST A CHANCE.



ANNA, THE DOCUMENT
PAPA ENTRUSTED TO YOU.

THEY WANT THAT.

IF YOU PROMISE
TO GIVE IT TO THEM,

THEY MIGHT AGREE TO HELP US.

NO, I CAN'T ASK THAT OF YOU.

ALEXI...

YOU'RE MY BROTHER.
I WANT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

I SHALL GO TO THE AMERICAN
AMBASSADOR TOMORROW

AND TELL HIM
THAT WE WANT TO DEFECT.

I SHALL TELL HIM

THAT WE WILL HAVE THE DOCUMENT
WITH US.

OH, ANNA.
LOVELY ANNA.

THANK YOU, ANNA.

ALEXI, WE SHALL
HAVE NEW LIVES...

BETTER LIVES.

VERY NICELY DONE, ALEXI.

THANK YOU, COLONEL.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO TO GET
THE DOCUMENT IS WATCH ANNA

AND STAY ONE STEP AHEAD
OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.

NORTH TRAIL IS CLOSED.

OH?

WHAT ABOUT THE EAST TRAIL?

YEAH, BUT ONLY TILL TWILIGHT.

LET'S GO, KIDS.

GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

BEFORE HE DIED LAST YEAR,

PREMIER KERKOSKA GAVE
HIS DAUGHTER ANNA

A SECRET DOCUMENT

CONTAINING THE NAMES OF MEN
WITHIN HIS GOVERNMENT

WHO PRIVATELY FAVORED FRIENDLY
RELATIONS WITH THE WEST.

WORD HAS REACHED US
THROUGH DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS

THAT ANNA AND HER BROTHER ALEXI
WISH TO DEFECT.

WE KNOW THIS IS A PLOT
DEVISED BY ALEXI

TO ACQUIRE THE DOCUMENT

AND AT THE SAME TIME CAPTURE
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE AGENTS,

THEREBY EMBARRASSING THE WEST.

IN SPITE OF THIS TRAP,

YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO GET THE DOCUMENT

AND BRING ANNA KERKOSKA
TO SAFETY.

AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR
ANY MEMBER 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.

[ SIZZLING]

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

I'VE SET A TRAP USING BOTH ANNA
AND THE DOCUMENT AS BAIT.

WE GO IN TO GET ANNA, SHE
TRIES TO GET THE DOCUMENT OUT,

ALEXI SIGNALS, AND THEY GET
BOTH THE DOCUMENT AND US.

SO ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS TAKE THE BAIT

WITHOUT SPRINGING
THE TRAP.

RIGHT. DANA?

YEAH, THE VISAS
ARE ALL SET.

WILSON AND HIS
PUBLISHING COMPANY

WERE ONLY TOO GLAD
TO COOPERATE.

WHAT ABOUT THE REAL
MARCOS DANOV?

HE'S ALREADY MADE
HIS CONTRIBUTION, WILLY.

HE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO,
UNNOTICED.

OUR EQUIPMENT'S
ON ITS WAY, JIM.

THERE'S A MONTHLY SHIPMENT
OF AUTO AND TRUCK PARTS

FROM LONDON...VISAS
AND BILLS OF LADING.

GOOD, BARNEY.

ONCE ANNA'S FREE,
THE HEAT WILL BE OFF,

SO YOU'LL WAIT THREE DAYS,
CHANGE YOUR IDENTITIES,

AND GO OUT AS TOURISTS.

JIM, HOW FAR
FROM THE BORDER

IS THE MORTUARY?

HERE'S THE MORTUARY.

IT'S ABOUT FOUR MILES
TO THE CEMETERY

AND ANOTHER FIVE MILES
TO THE BORDER.

THE CROSSING ON EITHER SIDE
IS PROTECTED BY CONCEALED MINES.

WHAT'S THE BARRIER
MADE OF?

STEEL SET IN
REINFORCED CONCRETE.

TO CUT THE ODDS
DOWN EVEN FURTHER,

THE GATE ITSELF IS MINED.

YOU TOUCH IT,
AND IT BLOWS YOU TO BITS.

WE WELCOME YOU ON BEHALF

OF THE INTOURIST BUREAU,
MR. McKAY.

THANK YOU.

YOUR PASSPORT WILL BE
HELD IN THE HOTEL SAFE

UNTIL YOUR DEPARTURE.

YOUR IDENTITY CARD.

YOU MUST HAVE IT
WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES

AND BE PREPARED
TO SHOW IT ON DEMAND.

YOU ARE NOT TO VISIT
THE HOMES OF OUR CITIZENS

WITHOUT SPECIFIC PERMISSION.

YOU ARE NOT TO EXCHANGE MONEY
OR CLOTHING WITH ANY CITIZENS.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

OH, YES.

GOOD. I'M SURE
YOU WILL ENJOY

YOUR STAY IN OUR COUNTRY,
MR. McKAY.

YES, I'M SURE I --

I'M SURE I WILL.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

I, UH...
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE

ARRANGEMENTS...
FOR A FUNERAL.

REALLY? WHO FOR?

MARCOS DANOV.

HE WAS A HERO
OF THE REVOLUTION.

I'M SURE. HOWEVER, THE STATE
HAS CERTAIN CHARGES,

EVEN FOR A "HERO"
OF THE REVOLUTION.

YES, I KNOW, I KNOW.

MARCOS LEFT ALL HE HAD --
50 CAROLI.

HE WANTED TO BE BURIED
IN THE GORMI CEMETERY

OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.

THAT'S TOO INCONVENIENT.

WE PREFER THAT
BODIES HAVE A LOCAL --

BUT MARCOS WAS A HERO
OF THE REVOLUTION.

HE FOUGHT BESIDE
PREMIER KERKOSKA!

CAN IT BE DONE?

YES, IT CAN BE DONE.

ALSO, HIS LAST REQUEST

THAT ANNA AND ALEXI KERKOSKA
BE PRESENT.

OH, THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS.

HOWEVER, THE CHARGES
ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE.

OH, YES.

THIS IS CAR 27.

Anna Kerkoska, 2:00 p.m.
surveillance report.

She's in the square,
as usual,

feeding the pigeons,
as usual.

END OF 2:00 P.M. REPORT.

DON'T TURN TOWARD ME,
ANNA KERKOSKA.

I TOLD A FRIEND OF MINE
YOU WISHED TO TAKE A TRIP.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

THE TRIP IS BEING ARRANGED.

GO TO THE TELEPHONE BOX
AT THE EDGE OF THE SQUARE

NOW FOR YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

THEY'RE SEPARATING.

I'LL MAINTAIN THE WATCH
ON ANNA KERKOSKA.

YANOSH WILL FOLLOW
THE STREET SWEEPER.

WE HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH FOR
PICKUP AND DEVELOPMENT.

[ RINGS ]

Who is this, please?

ANNA KERKOSKA.

PREPARATIONS ARE UNDER WAY
FOR YOUR JOURNEY.

You will be contacted
with further instructions

at the appropriate time.

REMEMBER THE NAME
"MARCOS DANOV."

REPEAT IT, PLEASE.

MARCOS DANOV.

TELL ME WHO WILL --

[ Receiver clicks ]

WE ARE VERY PLEASED THAT
YOU COULD FINALLY COME

TO DISCUSS
PUBLISHING THE WORKS

OF OUR AUTHORS, MR. NELSON.

AS I HOPE I EXPLAINED
IN MY CORRESPONDENCE,

I WAS DELAYED BECAUSE
THE COMPANY CHANGED HANDS.

I HAD TO GET THE APPROVAL
OF THE NEW OWNERS

BEFORE WE COULD --

BEFORE WE COULD GO ON
WITH THE PROJECT.

AH, YES, THE NEW OWNERS.

AT ANY RATE, WE ARE PLEASED
THAT YOU ARE HERE.

THANK YOU.

FORGIVE ME, ALEXI.

AH, ANNA.
MY SISTER, ANNA KERKOSKA.

MR. NELSON, FROM AMERICA.

MISS KERKOSKA.

AH, THE PUBLISHING GENTLEMAN,
OF COURSE.

HOW GOOD TO MEET YOU.

MY PLEASURE.

FORGIVE ME A RUDENESS,
MR. NELSON,

BUT, ALEXI, SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT HAS COME UP.

IF I COULD JUST HAVE
ONE MOMENT OF YOUR TIME.

COMRADE ORISHEV.
MR. NELSON, FROM AMERICA.

MR. ORISHEV.

NOW BE WARNED, MR. NELSON,

ORISHEV IS ONE OF OUR
MORE INTENSE AUTHORS.

NOW PLEASE, EXCUSE ME.

OF COURSE.

I SHALL LOOK FORWARD

TO SPEAKING WITH YOU,
MR. NELSON.

YES.

I WAS CONTACTED
IN THE PARK.

I SPOKE TO SOMEONE
ON THE PHONE.

THEY SAID WE ARE TO REMEMBER
THE NAME "MARCOS DANOV."

"MARCOS DANOV."
WHAT ELSE DID THEY SAY?

ONLY THAT WE WOULD BE

CONTACTED AGAIN,
NOTHING MORE.

IS IT NOT AS I TOLD YOU?
THEY ARE HELPING US.

YES, DEAR ANNA,
THANKS TO YOU.

[ Laughing ]
OH, ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

NOT ENOUGH ABOUT YOU.
I WANT TO HEAR MUCH MORE.

BUT I WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT AMERICA.

IS EVERYONE A GANGSTER?

-YES.
-YES?

[ Laughing ]
NO, NOT QUITE EVERYONE.

OF COURSE NOT,
THERE ARE PUBLISHERS.

AND HILLBILLIES,
AND ROCK GROUPS,

INDIANS, AND EVERYONE
CARRIES A GUN. DO YOU?

NO, I DON'T CARRY A GUN.

NO? WELL, THEN PERHAPS
OUR PROPAGANDA PEOPLE

ARE LYING TO US.

COULD THAT BE POSSIBLE?

OH, I DON'T THINK
PROPAGANDA PEOPLE EVER LIE,

BUT I SUPPOSE
IT IS POSSIBLE.

PLEASE, WOULD YOU GIVE THIS
TO THE TALL GENTLEMAN

WITH THE GRAY HAIR?

I WISH TO SEE THE NOTE
FOR MR. NELSON.

DELIVER IT.

THAT'S A VERY RISKY
THING TO TALK ABOUT

AT A GATHERING
LIKE THIS, BUT I --

THANK YOU.

HEADQUARTERS...EMERGENCY.

SOMETHING URGENT'S COME UP.
IS THERE A TELEPHONE?

YES, RIGHT OVER THERE.

MESSAGE READS,
"WE HAVE YOUR SISTER.

"She's safe. Call the hotel
to verify that she is not there

"and then remain
at the reception

"until further contact.

Destroy this."

THIS IS PETROVICH.

A CALL WILL BE COMING IN

TO MINISTER KERKOSKA'S
DACHA

IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES.

I WANT IT TRACED.
I WILL ACCEPT NO EXCUSES.

STEFAN!

HE'S TRAVELING ON
AN AMERICAN PASSPORT

UNDER THE NAME
"CHARLES McKAY" --

LANGUAGE TEACHER
ON SABBATICAL.

ARRIVED?

TWO DAYS AGO BY AIR, IN
RESIDENCE AT THE CHARNOV HOSTEL.

HIS PASSPORT WAS CHECKED.
IT IS AUTHENTIC.

SO, NOW WE KNOW WHO THE
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE SENT.

ALL WE HAVE TO FIND OUT IS

HOW HE PLANS TO HELP
THE KERKOSKAS ESCAPE US!

[ TELEPHONE DIALING ]

[ RINGS ]

MR. NELSON?

IS ANYTHING WRONG?

THAT NOTE SEEMS
TO HAVE UPSET YOU.

NO, IT'S FROM MY SISTER.

IT'S, UH, NOT AS IMPORTANT
AS SHE MADE IT SEEM.

WE WOMEN HAVE A TALENT

FOR RAISING TEMPESTS
IN TEAPOTS.

MR. NELSON, THERE IS
A TELEPHONE CALL FOR YOU.

OH, THANK YOU. EXCUSE ME.

ANNA, DO I DETECT
SOME SPECIAL INTEREST

IN MR. NELSON?

OH!

THIS IS PAUL NELSON.

WE HAVE YOUR SISTER,
MR. NELSON.

SHE IS SAFE.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT?

PAUL? PAUL, THEY CAME
INTO MY ROOM.

PAUL, I'M SO AFRAID.

PAUL, THEY SAID THEY
WOULDN'T HURT ME IF --

IF YOU JUST DID
WHAT THEY ASKED.

LIZ, LIZ!

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN
TO YOUR SISTER

IF YOU DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY.

IF YOU ANYONE
ASKS WHERE SHE IS,

SAY SHE'S ON A BUS TOUR
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

JUST SOME ASSISTANCE,
MR. NELSON.

TOMORROW MORNING AT 9:00,

GO TO THE RECORD SHOP
THAT FACES

THE FREEDOM PEOPLE'S PARK.

YOU WILL BE CONTACTED.

[ Receiver clicks ]

HELLO?

HELLO?!

STEFAN!

STEFAN!!

OUR TRACE INDICATES

THAT THE CALL CAME
FROM A TELEPHONE

WHERE THERE
IS NO TELEPHONE.

ASSIGN SURVEILLANCE TEAMS
TO THAT RECORD SHOP RIGHT AWAY.

THAT HAS BEEN DONE, COLONEL.

[ POLKA MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ MUSIC PLAYS LOUDER ]

WHERE IS MY SISTER?

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ STATIC ]

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS
TO HER, I SWEAR...

NOTHING WILL
HAPPEN TO YOUR SISTER

IF YOU GIVE US
CERTAIN ASSISTANCE.

YOU WANT ME TO BE A SPY?

NO, NOTHING SO
DANGEROUS AS THAT.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WON'T
GIVE YOU MY ASSISTANCE?

WE'LL KILL YOUR SISTER,
MR. NELSON.

THIS OPERATION
IS TOO IMPORTANT

TO INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

TO ALLOW
FOR AN EMPTY THREAT.

LYING.
THEY WON'T KILL HER.

THEY HAVEN'T THE STOMACH
OR NERVE FOR IT.

WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO
IS VERY SIMPLE --

TELL ALEXI KERKOSKA

YOU WISH TO PUBLISH A BOOK
ABOUT HIS FATHER.

SUGGEST HIS SISTER
ANNA WRITE IT.

INSIST ON IT IF NECESSARY.

SUPPOSE HE SAYS "NO."

THEN TELL HIM MARCOS DANOV
SUGGESTED IT TO YOU.

MARCOS DANOV.

YOU'LL BE CONTACTED
AT YOUR HOTEL

AND TOLD WHAT TO DO NEXT.

[ SPEAKER SHUTS OFF ]

SO, WE CANNOT LOSE CONTACT

WITH THE
AMERICAN AGENT NOW.

HE'S UNDER CONSTANT
SURVEILLANCE.

SO, YOU WILL BE HEARING
FROM NELSON.

HE WILL SUGGEST ANNA WRITE
THE BOOK ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

BE FLATTERED, BUT RESIST.

RESIST...BUT DON'T REFUSE.

MOVE THIS THING
OUT OF THE WAY.

COME ON, MOVE IT!

OKAY!

THE MAN WITH THE GRAY HAIR
AND GLASSES CAME PAST YOU.

WHICH WAY DID HE GO?

-I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY.
-YOU?

HE WENT UP THE ALLEY.
I DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION.

LET'S GO.

[ PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC ]

MY FATHER LOVED THAT PIECE.

YOU PLAY IT SO WELL,
HE COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF.

THANK YOU!

SO, YOU WANT TO DO A BOOK
ABOUT MY FATHER?

YES, YES I DO, VERY MUCH.

THE MAN MY FATHER WAS

WOULD SURPRISE YOU,
MR. NELSON.

AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T SURPRISE
THE GOVERNMENT TOO MUCH, ANNA.

[ MUSIC BOX PLAYING ]

IT'S A PRETTY TUNE,
ISN'T IT?

YES.

FROM THE PROVINCE
WHERE MY FATHER WAS BORN.

WELL, MR. NELSON,

WHEN SHALL WE BEGIN THIS BOOK
YOU BELIEVE I CAN WRITE?

HOW ABOUT NOW?

ALL RIGHT.

MY FATHER USED
TO BRING ME HERE

WHEN I WAS A CHILD.

DESPITE EVERYTHING,
HE WAS A GOOD FATHER.

I REMEMBER ONCE...
I WAS VERY SMALL...

I STOOD BESIDE HIM...

WHEN HE CONDEMNED
30 MEN TO BE SHOT.

THEY WERE ALL FRIENDS.

HE SIGNED THE PAPERS WITHOUT
THE SLIGHTEST HESITATION.

THEY WERE
COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY.

AND THEN, HE SAT AT HOME
AND CRIED FOR THEM.

I-I UNDERSTOOD,
AND I DIDN'T.

OH, I HATED HIM
AND LOVED HIM

BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

AND YOUR PEOPLE
CALL MY FATHER A DESPOT.

HE WAS.

I CALL HIM AN ANGEL.

HE WAS.

HE LOST AN ARM
IN THE MORNING

AND FOUGHT
UNTIL NIGHTTIME.

HE -- HE COLLECTED
MUSIC BOXES

AND COULD SIT FOR HOURS
JUST LOOKING AT THEM.

HE WAS ALL THINGS GOOD
AND ALL THINGS BAD,

BUT HE WAS ALIVE.

HE LOVED OUR MOTHER,
ALEXI'S AND MINE,

AND YET, HE WAS
OFTEN UNFAITHFUL TO HER.

I COULD NEVER
UNDERSTAND MY FATHER.

HOW COULD HE BE SO
MANY THINGS AT ONCE?

SOME MEN ARE.

YOU ARE, TOO, AREN'T YOU?

SO FORMAL, SO PROPER...

AND YET, I CAN FEEL...

SOMETHING I'VE NEVER
FELT ABOUT ANY MAN.

SO LOVING.

I DON'T WANT
TO HEAR EXCUSES.

I WANT THAT
AMERICAN AGENT FOUND!

COLONEL PETROVICH,

IF THE AMERICAN
INTELLIGENCE

IS WATCHING ME, AND I
AM SUMMONED HERE --

THEY WILL THINK IT IS
OFFICIAL BUSINESS, AND IT IS.

NOW SIT DOWN, ALEXI!

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
THIS MAN BEFORE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

HE WAS AT YOUR
RECEPTION YESTERDAY.

IS THAT WHY
I'M SUMMONED HERE?

NO! YOU ARE HERE
BECAUSE I WAS ORDERED

BY THE CHAIRMAN
AND THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE

TO REMIND YOU HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS THAT WE ACQUIRE

THE DOCUMENT YOUR FATHER
ENTRUSTED TO YOUR SISTER,

AND TO SUGGEST SUBTLY,
BUT FIRMLY,

THAT YOU
ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE SUCCESS OF THIS PLAN,
IF IT SUCCEEDS!

AND ALSO SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE IF IT FAILS.

IN ONE CASE,
YOU WILL BE GIVEN A MEDAL...

IN THE OTHER,
YOU WILL BE SHOT.

WHY IS IT THAT ALL
THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

COME AT ALL
THE WRONG TIMES?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.

OH, HOW I LOVE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW YOU...
AND I LOVE YOU.

AND I-I KNOW THAT I'VE NEVER
LOVED ANYONE BEFORE, NO ONE.

JUST YOU...NOW.

THERE IS NO WRONG TIME
TO LOVE, ANNA.

YES, THERE IS.

NOW -- THIS
IS THE WRONG TIME.

BUT THIS IS ALL
THE TIME THERE IS.

LOVE ME, PAUL.

I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

PAUL?

HMM?

THIS IS ALL
THERE IS FOR US.

RIGHT NOW --

WALKING THROUGH
THE TREES IN THE DARK.

IT'S THE END OF OUR WORLD.

OH, NO, ANNA.

IT'S NOT THE END,
IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

WE CANNOT SEE EACH OTHER
OR BE WITH EACH OTHER.

IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS,
WE CAN DEAL WITH THEM.

I'VE SPENT
A WHOLE LIFETIME --

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, PAUL.
YOU'RE IN DANGER.

ALEXI AND I --
WE'RE DEFECTING.

HE'S TO BE PURGED.

AMERICANS ARE HELPING US.

IF THE SECRET POLICE

FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE
INVOLVED WITH ME --

ANNA, I AM INVOLVED
WITH YOU.

MY SISTER
HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.

NO!

THE MEN WHO TOOK HER SAID
I WAS TO PERSUADE YOU

TO START WRITING
YOUR FATHER'S BOOK,

AND IF I DIDN'T,
THEY WOULD KILL HER.

ANNA,I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D HEAR MYSELF SAY

THAT ANYONE MATTERS
AS MUCH TO ME AS YOU DO,

BUT SHE IS MY SISTER, ANNA.

FOR HER SAKE AND FOR YOURS
AND FOR MINE

BECAUSE WE NEED EACH OTHER,
WE HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT HER BEFORE?

THEY SAID IF I TOLD
THAT THEY'D KILL HER.

BUT YOU TOLD ME.

IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY OTHER WAY,
I NEVER WOULD HAVE, BELIEVE ME.

I LOVE YOU.

[ DIALING ]

[ RINGING ]

HELLO?

THIS IS PAUL NELSON.

YOUR SISTER WANTS TO SPEAK
WITH YOU, MR. NELSON.

PAUL?
PAUL, THEY TOLD ME

TO GIVE YOU
THIS MESSAGE --

"LOOK IN YOUR NEWSPAPER
FUNERAL NOTICES.

"MARCOS DANOV IS DEAD.

HE'LL BE BURIED
THIS AFTERNOON."

LIZ, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[ Dial tone ]

YOU CHECKED INTO
THIS MARCOS DANOV?

HE WAS A HERO
OF THE REVOLUTION.

HE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO.

TELL THE UNDERTAKER TO DO
WHATEVER THEY ASK HIM.

YES, COLONEL.

NELSON WAS CONTACTED
BY AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.

WHAT MESSAGE?

HE IS TO TAKE ANNA
AND ALEXI KERKOSKA

TO MARCOS DANOV'S FUNERAL.

HOW IS IT THAT YOU BRING
US THIS MESSAGE, NELSON?

ALL I KNOW IS THAT
MY SISTER'S LIFE

DEPENDS UPON OUR LEAVING
HERE AT 3:00,

DRIVING
TO THE STATE MORTUARY

FOR THE FUNERAL OF A MAN
NAMED "DANOV."

THEY SAID
YOU'D BOTH UNDERSTAND.

CAN HE BE TRUSTED?

-YES, ALEXI.
-WE HAVE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES.

WE'LL TAKE YOUR JEWELRY
WITH US, ANNA.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU WANT TO TAKE?

OH, YES...ALL OF THIS --

PAPA'S MUSIC BOXES,
MY PIANO, EVERYTHING.

ANNA, ANNA,
MUSIC BOXES, PIANO --

YOU KNOW THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

I'LL HAVE THE CAR
BROUGHT AROUND.

THIS CANNOT
LOOK LIKE ANYTHING

BUT A ROUTINE MATTER.

I DON'T
LIKE WEARING THIS.

ANNA, WE ARE GOING
TO A FUNERAL.

WE MUST LOOK LIKE WE ARE
GOING TO A FUNERAL!

IT'S ALMOST 3:00.

YES. COME. COME!

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT THIS.

YOU HARDLY HAVE TO BRING
A CIGARETTE BOX.

MUST WE LEAVE BEHIND
ALL OF OUR MEMORIES?

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
I'LL CARRY IT --

NO!

YOU -- YOU ARE SO CLUMSY
WITH SMALL THINGS, ALEXI.

I'LL CARRY IT.

ANNA, SO MUCH FUSS
OVER A CIGARETTE BOX.

IS THE DOCUMENT
HIDDEN INSIDE?

THE DOCUMENT?
NO, I JUST WANT IT.

AND THE DOCUMENT
IS HIDDEN INSIDE.

GIVE IT TO ME,
LITTLE SISTER.

NO, ALEXI,
PAPA TOLD YOU --

PAPA IS DEAD!

NO, ALEXI, NO!

GIVE IT!

OH, THIS IS IT...
THE CYLINDER.

IT'S IN CODE...
A MUSICAL CODE.

ALL OF THIS
WAS JUST A TRICK.

YOU WANTED THE DOCUMENT.

I HAD NO CHOICE.

"NO CHOICE"?!

COLONEL PETRO--

-WHAT --
-ANNA, IT'S A DISGUISE.

IT'S HOW WE'RE
GOING TO GET YOU OUT.

YOU -- YOU ARE
AN AMERICAN AGENT?

YES.

YOU WANT
THE DOCUMENT, TOO?

WE WANT YOU.

JUST LIKE
MY DEAR BROTHER, ALEXI.

YOU BOTH
MADE A PAWN OF ME.

NO.

USERS!

ANYTHING, SAY ANYTHING,

DO ANYTHING JUST TO GET
THAT DOCUMENT!

ANNA --

YOU NEVER LOVED ME.
YOU USED ME!

[ Sobbing ] TAKE IT.

TAKE IT AND LET ME ALONE!

ANNA, YOU HAVE
TO COME WITH US.

NO!

ANNA, EVERYTHING I SAID
TO YOU WAS TRUE.

I LOVE YOU.

ANNA...I DO LOVE YOU.

COME WITH ME.

AND ALEXI?

WE HAVE TO LEAVE HIM.

COME.

KERKOSKA'S CAR
HAS ARRIVED.

Military driver,
three passengers --

Kerkoskas and Nelson.

They're entering.

THE COFFIN IS BEING WHEELED
INTO THE MORTUARY.

[ ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ Softly ] THE KERKOSKAS
AND THE AMERICAN

ARE IN THE PARLOR.

THE COFFIN HAS BEEN BROUGHT
INTO THE CHAPEL.

MAKE NO MOVE
UNTIL ALEXI SIGNALS.

AS LONG AS THEY'RE
ALL INSIDE

WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

THE COFFIN IS IN POSITION,
MINISTER KERKOSKA.

ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH.

WE MAY START
FOR THE CEMETERY NOW.

OF COURSE, MINISTER.

BUT FIRST,
IF YOU WOULD BE SO GOOD

AS TO SHOW MY SISTER

SOMEWHERE WHERE SHE COULD
FRESHEN UP.

OH...

YOU MAY HAVE THE HEARSE
START FOR THE CEMETERY.

I SHALL WAIT FOR MY SISTER
IN THE PARLOR.

WE SHALL SOON FOLLOW.

OF COURSE,
MINISTER KERKOSKA.

THE LAST RITES
OF MARCOS DANOV HAVE CONCLUDED

AND HIS COFFIN IS NOW ON THE WAY
TO GORMI CEMETERY.

THOSE OF YOU WISHING TO JOIN

HIS OTHER FRIENDS
AT THE GRAVESIDE

ARE HEREBY INVITED TO DO SO.

[ AIR HISSING ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

THE COFFIN
IS IN THE HEARSE.

It's on its way
to the cemetery.

I THOUGHT THE HEARSE
WAS A DECOY.

NOW, WHERE'S ALEXI?

[ Softly ]
HE'S IN THE PARLOR

WITH HIS SISTER
AND THE AMERICAN.

I CAN SEE THE THREE OF THEM.

WHY AREN'T THEY
GOING TO THE CEMETERY?

WHAT IS
THE UNDERTAKER DOING?

I DON'T SEE HIM RIGHT NOW.

EARLIER HE WENT
INTO THE PARLOR

WITH MINISTER KERKOSKA
AND HIS SISTER.

SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.
CHECK THE UNDERTAKER.

I'M GOING OVER THERE.

GET PETROVICH!
SHE'S ESCAPED.

ANNA KERKOSKA HAS ESCAPED.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

COME WITH ME.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.

THEY OVERPOWERED THE
UNDERTAKER AND THEN ME.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NELSON?

THEY TOOK HIM WITH THEM.
NOW EVIDENTLY --

WHERE IS MY BROTHER?
DON'T LET THEM HURT HIM.

-HOW MANY?
-I DIDN'T SEE.

NELSON WAS STRUGGLING
WITH THEM

WHEN I WAS HIT.

THEY'LL KILL HIM!

GO AFTER TO THE HEARSE.

TAKE THE GIRL

AND MR. KERKOSKA
BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.

SEARCH THE AREA.
YOU, COME WITH ME.

[ TIRES SCREECHING ]

[ ENGINE REVVING ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

STAY DOWN, ANNA!

[ GUNSHOTS ]

[ SOBBING ]

YOU'RE FREE NOW, ANNA.

"FREE"?

I REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.

I'VE NEVER
BEEN FREE BEFORE.

NOW I'M FREE,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM.

YOU WILL...YOU WILL.

WAS IT ALL A LIE...
YOUR LOVING ME?

NONE OF IT WAS A LIE, ANNA.

I KNEW IT WASN'T.

WHAT IS THERE NOW
FOR US?

WHATEVER WE WANT THERE
TO BE.

DO YOU KNOW?

OH...

WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME
TO FIND OUT

WHO THIS WOMAN IS,
THIS "ANNA KERKOSKA,"

NOW THAT SHE'S FREE?

WILL YOU WAIT
BEFORE WE DECIDE

WHAT WE WANT
THERE TO BE FOR US?

YES. I'LL WAIT.

SOMEDAY THERE
WILL BE TIME FOR US.

I KNOW IT.
