Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 6, Episode 6 - The Miracle - full transcript
It won't be easy to turn a highly proficient and well-rewarded hit man against his boss. But let's give this a try. After he's gunned down, arrange for a world renowned surgeon, Barney, to give him a heart transplant. Then have his newbie girlfriend, Lisa, provide some not so subtle hints that the new heart has changed his personality and he's all washed up as a hit man. Then have a gangster, Jim, who's trying to muscle in on his boss's operation, make him an offer he can't refuse.
RELAX, MILT.
NOTHING'S THAT HEAVY.
I'M JUST FIGURING.
THAT BOATLOAD OF "H" OUGHT TO BE
WORTH ABOUT $6 MILLION.
$8 MILLION.
HOW COME TAYNOR'S OKAYED
MY SEEING THE LANDING SITE?
ON MY SAY-SO.
TAYNOR'S LATE.
YEP.
MILT.
-MILT, YOU THE MAN.
-WHAT?
YOU WERE SENT IN HERE TO FIND
OUT WHERE TAYNOR GETS HIS HORSE.
FRANK, YOU FLIPPED.
AH-AH.
YOU MESSED UP, BOY.
YOU MESSED UP BAD.
NOW TURN AROUND.
OKAY. FRANK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,
BUT YEAH,
I CAME IN TO GET TAYNOR.
AND WE'LL GET HIM
SOONER OR LATER.
AND WHEN WE DO,
I COULD MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU.
SAVE IT.
I DO MY JOB.
THAT'S ALL I DO.
FRANK, LISTEN --
[ THUD ]
GOOD MORNING, JIM.
SEVEN WEEKS FROM NOW
ON NOVEMBER 10,
$8 MILLION WORTH OF HEROIN
WILL BE LANDED
AT AN UNKNOWN POINT
ALONG THE COAST.
UNDERCOVER AGENT MILT ANDERSON
LOST HIS LIFE
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE.
ONLY TWO MEN
KNOW THE ACTUAL LANDING SITE --
ALVIN TAYNOR, BIGGEST NARCOTICS
DEALER IN THE NORTHWEST,
AND FRANK KEARNEY,
HIS CHIEF EXECUTIONER.
CONVENTIONAL
LAW-ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DEVELOP
ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO INTERCEPT THAT HEROIN
AND TO GET TAYNOR AND KEARNEY.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ HISSING ]
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
JIM, HOW LONG
SINCE THE IVERSON MOB
ACTUALLY PUT PRESSURE
ON TAYNOR?
A COUPLE OF MONTHS,
CASEY.
SO FAR, TAYNOR'S BEEN
JUST TOO TOUGH FOR THEM.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS --
KEARNEY WILL BE ON
THE CAMERA ITSELF.
I HAVE ALL
THE NECESSARY FOOTAGE,
WHICH WE'LL FEED
THROUGH THE VIDEOTAPE UNIT.
THE HOSPITAL'S
BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE, JIM.
THEY'VE GIVEN US
PART OF THE FOURTH FLOOR
AND ALL THE PERSONNEL
WE NEED.
HOW ABOUT KEARNEY'S
RECOVERY RATE, BARNEY?
WE'LL CONTROL THAT
WITH DRUGS.
HE'LL FEEL GOOD FAST
BUT NOT TOO FAST.
AND HE'LL BE DISCHARGED
ON THE 9th OF NOVEMBER,
ONE DAY BEFORE
THE BOAT IS DUE TO LAND.
RIGHT. CASEY?
I GOT THE JOB.
MM-HMM.
ANY PROBLEMS
WITH THE CHURCH, STEVE?
NO, JIM.
IT'LL BE CLOSED
TWO OR THREE MONTHS
BEFORE
THEY START REMODELING.
FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME
ABOUT KEARNEY'S BACKGROUND,
HE WAS RAISED AT ST. ANTHONY'S
ORPHANAGE IN NEW ORLEANS.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLACE.
WHAT MADE HIM GO BAD?
HE GOT IN A MINOR SCRAPE
WHEN HE WAS 14, RAN AWAY.
FROM THERE ON,
IT'S BEEN ALL DOWNHILL.
IT'S INTERESTING, THOUGH.
LAST TIME HE WAS
IN THE PENITENTIARY,
THEY DID QUITE A
PSYCHOLOGICAL WORK-UP ON HIM.
HIS RELIGIOUS CHILDHOOD LEFT
A DEEP, UNCONSCIOUS MARK.
YES, AND WE'RE
DEPENDING ON THAT.
NOW, UNDER
ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES,
NEITHER TAYNOR NOR KEARNEY
WOULD EVER GO NEAR
THAT BOATLOAD OF NARCOTICS.
MANNY, ONE THING
ABOUT KEARNEY --
HE NEVER CARRIES HIS GUN
IN THE SAME PLACE.
SOMETIMES THE HOLSTER,
SOMETIMES HIS POCKET.
IS THAT GOING TO
BOTHER YOU?
NAH,
I DON'T THINK SO.
BARNEY...
WILLY...
SORRY, JIM.
I JUST COULDN'T RESIST
TRYING TO FOOL THE EXPERTS.
WILLY...
[ COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS ]
MUST YOU?
OH, AND I THOUGHT
YOU DUG THAT KIND OF MUSIC.
MR. TAYNOR DOESN'T.
YOU'RE REALLY PUSHY LATELY,
AREN'T YOU?
AHHH...
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
FOR THE ANDERSON JOB.
I LIKE THE WAY
YOU HANDLED IT.
IT WAS ROUTINE.
[ GASPS ]
OH, I'M SO SORRY!
CLUMSY!
FORGET IT!
LOOK AT THIS!
I'VE GOT TO CHANGE.
I'LL COVER FOR YOU.
THAT GUY --
HE WAS A STIFF.
THANK YOU, BOSS.
ARE YOU READY,
MR. KEARNEY?
YOU NEW HERE?
YES, I JUST STARTED.
HOW DID YOU
KNOW MY NAME?
WELL, UH, THE, UH...
THE BOSS SAID
THAT YOU WERE
A VERY SPECIAL CUSTOMER,
AND...WELL, BESIDES THAT,
I KIND OF WANTED
TO MEET YOU, ANYWAY.
FRANK'S THE NAME, HONEY.
WHAT'S YOURS?
KITTY.
UM...THE, UM, HALIBUT
IS REAL GREAT TONIGHT.
WELL, FISH IS A BUMMER,
KITTY.
NEW YORK STEAK, BLOOD RARE,
BAKED POTATO, ONION RINGS,
GARLIC TOAST.
AND YOU, SIR?
I'M NOT EATING.
UM...OKAY.
UM...YOU'RE HAVING
THE NEW YORK.
YOU WANT, UH,
RED WINE WITH THAT?
KITTY...IF YOU AND I ARE
GOING TO GROOVE TOGETHER,
YOU GOT TO PICK UP ON
WHAT I DIG AND WHAT I DON'T.
VINO'S OUT -- RED,
WHITE, PINK, OR PURPLE.
BEER IS IN.
OKAY. BEER.
NICE, HUH?
A BROAD.
THAT'S YOUR DEPARTMENT.
YOU KNOW, BOSS, SMILE.
THE TROUBLE WITH YOU, KEARNEY --
YOU DON'T WORRY ENOUGH.
NO, I QUIT ALL THAT
WHEN I WAS 14.
THAT'S WHEN I FIGURED
THEM SISTERS WAS PUTTING US ON
ABOUT HELL.
DON'T BE TOO SURE.
TRY GOING ON MY DIET
FOR A WHILE.
IN THE FRONT, MR. TAYNOR.
DON'T LET THIS BOTHER YOU.
I ONLY WANT TO TALK.
MY NAME IS JOHN MALLET.
I WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE
IN CALIFORNIA.
IVERSON AGAIN, EH?
DON'T YOU PEOPLE
EVER LEARN?
WE'VE UPPED THE ANTE
THIS TIME.
WE'RE OFFERING
THE WHOLE CALIFORNIA MARKET,
SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE.
IN RETURN FOR WHAT?
HALF OF THE STUFF
THAT YOU'RE IMPORTING.
WITH YOUR
OVERSEAS CONNECTIONS
AND OUR DISTRIBUTION,
WE'VE GOT A PERFECT SETUP.
JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS
WHERE THEY ARE.
HMM! I'VE GOT
A PERFECT SET-UP NOW.
I DON'T NEED
THE CALIFORNIA MARKET.
EVERYTHING UP HERE
IS MINE,
AND I MEAN TO
KEEP IT THAT WAY.
SORRY YOU'RE BEING
STUBBORN ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO COST YOU,
AND IN THE END,
WE'LL BE PARTNERS, ANYWAY.
WE KNOW YOU'VE GOT
A BIG SHIPMENT COMING.
LET'S START WITH THAT.
GO HOME, MR. MALLET.
WHEN WE HAVE A DEAL.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
OKAY.
BARNEY SAID THIS WOULD PUT
AN ELEPHANT TO SLEEP.
FOUR SECONDS.
THE COOK YOUR BROTHER
OR SOMETHING?
I TAKE CARE OF HIM
EVERY CHRISTMAS.
I WATCH OUT
FOR ALL MY FRIENDS.
WELL,
THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.
GEE, I...SURE DO
LIKE YOUR SUIT.
UH, KITTY,
THERE'S SOME, UH...
I LIKE TO JUST, UH...
YOU KNOW, HAVE A BALL.
NOTHING HEAVIER.
CAN YOU DIG IT?
SURE.
WHAT TIME THEY CUT YOU
LOOSE AROUND HERE?
AROUND 1:00.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
I COME PICK YOU UP,
HAVE A DRINK -- MY PLACE?
SOUNDS GROOVY.
TILL THEN.
[ LAUGHS ]
FRANK KEARNEY?
WHO WANTS TO KNOW?
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ Screaming ]
AAAAHHHH!
CALL AN AMBULANCE!
[ SIREN WAILING ]
OH, GOD, MOST KIND,
THE FATHER OF MERCY IS IN
THE GOD OF ALL CONSOLATION.
IT IS YOUR WILL
THAT NO ONE WHO BELIEVES AND
HOPES IN YOU SHOULD PERISH.
IN YOUR BOUNDLESS MERCY...
[ DOOR OPENS ]
LOOK WITH KINDNESS
ON YOUR SERVANT, FRANKLIN.
FOR TRUE FAITH
AND CHRISTIAN HOPE
COMMEND HIM TO YOU.
[ Weakly ] Father?
YES?
Get lost.
MY SON.
[ INTERCOM BEEPS ]
DR. WARD,
561 WEST, PLEASE.
DR. WARD, GO TO 561 WEST.
[ INTERCOM BEEPS ]
HE'S GOT A BULLET
IN HIS PUMP.
YOU FIND OUT WHO DID IT?
A BIG GUY
NOBODY EVER SAW BEFORE.
DID THEY GIVE FRANK
ANY ANESTHESIA?
THAT MAKES SOME PEOPLE
PRETTY TALKATIVE.
WHO KNOWS
WHAT THEY GAVE HIM?
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
HE'S DYING.
[ Sighing ] WELL...
HANG IN TILL IT'S OVER.
DR. BENJAMIN PETERSON,
DR. BENJAMIN PETERSON,
EMERGENCY ADMITTING, PLEASE.
DR. BENJAMIN PETERSON

URGENT.
YOUR FRIEND GOT A BREAK.
AN ACCIDENT VICTIM
JUST CAME IN.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY
A HEART TRANSPLANT.
DR. CURTIS, DR. CURTIS,
PLEASE CALL 104 WEST.
[ MONITOR BEEPS ]
YOU'VE BEEN ANESTHETIZED.
WE COULD PUT YOU TO SLEEP,
BUT YOU HAVE
A BETTER CHANCE THIS WAY.
READY, DOCTOR.
SCALPEL.
SCALPEL, DOCTOR.
FORCEPS.
FORCEPS, DOCTOR.
-SPONGE.
-SPONGE, DOCTOR.
[ BEATING ]
HEART-LUNG MACHINE.
HEART-LUNG MACHINE, DOCTOR.
HEART-LUNG FUNCTION --
NORMAL.
DON'T REACH FOR ANYTHING,
MR. TAYNOR.
YOU WOULDN'T BE THE GUY
WHO HIT KEARNEY, WOULD YOU?
KEARNEY? WHO'S KEARNEY?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
MR. MALLET SENT ME.
HE WAS JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'VE RECONSIDERED.
TELL MR. MALLET THAT
I'VE BEEN PUSHED BEFORE,
AND I ALWAYS
GIVE MORE THAN I GET.
WE'LL BE OUT OF TOWN
FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,
BUT WE'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOUR
NEXT BIG SHIPMENT GETS IN.
WHAT NEXT SHIPMENT?
EARLY NOVEMBER.
YOU SEE, WE'VE GOT OUR
CONTACTS OVERSEAS, TOO.
AND WE WANT IN ON IT.
YOU TELL MR. MALLET
THAT IF HE KEEPS BOTHERING
ME AND MY PEOPLE,
HE MAY NOT BE ALIVE
IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
WE'LL SEE, MR. TAYNOR.
YOU'LL KNOW WHEN
WE GET BACK TO TOWN.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
130 OVER 80 NOW.
[ BEATING ]
STABILIZE.
WILL YOU CLOSE, DOCTOR?
YES, DR. PETERSON.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE.
SAM, YOU KNOW I'VE GOT
A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I'D HATE TO SEE
YOUR PAROLE REVOKED.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
HOW KEARNEY'S
PASSING HIS TIME,
WHO HE TALKS TO,
WHO VISITS HIM.
I JUST LIKE TO KEEP TRACK
OF MY EMPLOYEES, THAT'S ALL.
OKAY.
I-I'LL KEEP IN TOUCH.
I TAKE GOOD CARE
OF MY PEOPLE, EVANS.
MMM, FLYING!
THAT DUDE MUST HAVE
REALLY BEEN SOMETHING ELSE.
WHAT DUDE?
THIS TICKER DONOR HERE.
WHO WAS HE?
HE ASKED TO BE ANONYMOUS.
YOU FEEL GOOD BECAUSE,
OUTSIDE OF THE BULLET,
YOU WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION
WHEN WE MADE THE TRANSPLANT.
ALL PREVIOUS PATIENTS
HAD SUFFERED SOME KIND
OF PRIOR ORGANIC DETERIORATION
BECAUSE OF WEAKENED HEARTS.
-NURSE?
-YES, DOCTOR?
SAY, WHAT DOES THIS JUNKIE
SHOOT ME UP WITH EVERY DAY?
IT'S A DRUG TO KEEP YOU FROM
REJECTING YOUR NEW HEART.
THAT'LL BE FINE, NURSE,
THANK YOU.
YOU CAN COME IN NOW,
MS. NORMAN.
THANKS, DOC.
HOW'S THE PATIENT TODAY?
IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULDN'T GET TOO CLOSE.
[ Laughing ] HI.
HI, COME ON IN.
SIT HERE.
SURE.
SO, WHY DO YOU
HANG AROUND HERE SO MUCH?
I HAVE NO PLANS ON BEING
A BEDRIDDEN INVALID,
SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS
ABOUT TAKING ME OVER...
[ Laughing ]
YOU ARE A TRIP.
TAKE YOU OVER? I'D RATHER
TAKE OVER A BARRACUDA.
THAT'S THE WAY
I LIKE TO HEAR YOU TALK.
BUT I AM REAL PROUD
OF YOU. LOOK AT THAT.
[ LAUGHS ]
I HOPE I'M NOT INTRUDING.
YOU ARE.
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO STOP IN.
-I'M FATHER THOMPSON.
-SO?
I WAS HERE THE NIGHT
YOU HAD YOUR OPERATION,
AND I ADMINISTERED LAST RITES
TO BOTH YOU AND THE DONOR.
SORRY YOU WASTED YOUR TIME.
WELL, WHAT I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS --
FORGET IT!
VERY WELL.
HERE, TAKE THAT WITH YOU.
I'M AFRAID THAT BELONGS
TO THE HOSPITAL.
MISS.
HYPOCRITES.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO?
TAYNOR, THIS IS JOHN MALLET.
I'M BACK IN TOWN.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE
TO DEAL.
MALLET'S BACK.
I'M UPTIGHT. I WANT OUT!
NEXT WEEK.
DOC...
WE'RE ACCELERATING
THE TREATMENT.
THIS PLACE FREAKS ME OUT.
NOW, FRANK, I WANT YOU
TO START COUNTING BACKWARDS
FROM 100.
NO, I DON'T WANT TO.
[ Sternly ]
BACKWARDS, FRANK.
[ Loudly ]
100, 99, 98, 97,
96, 94, 93...
92, 91, 90...
90, 89...88, 87, 86...
85...84...
LET'S GO.
FATHER McALLISTER
SIPS WINE AT MASS,
DOESN'T HE, FRANK?
FROM A SILVER CUP.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CUP,
ISN'T IT?
YES, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WINE IS VERY SPECIAL,
ISN'T IT, FRANK?
YES.
IN FACT, YOU'D LIKE
SOME OF IT RIGHT NOW.
GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE ANOTHER
SHIPMENT DUE THE 10th.
HIGH-GRADE, LIKE ALWAYS.
WE'LL MAKE DELIVERY
THE NEXT DAY.
FRANK?
LOOK OVER THERE.
WHO IS IT?
[ Slurred ]
THAT'S KITTY.
YOU LOVE KITTY.
I DON'T LOVE ANYBODY.
TOUCH HER, FRANK.
SHE LOVES YOU, FRANK.
I LOVE YOU, FRANK.
SHE'LL MAKE A GOOD WIFE.
YOU DON'T JUST WANT HER
FOR A GIRLFRIEND.
YOU WANT HER FOR A WIFE.
MY DARLING.
SAY IT, FRANK.
YOU WANT TO MARRY HER.
I WANT TO MARRY YOU.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
CAMERON, WE GOT 50 GRAND
COMING FROM YOU.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY --
FREEZE!
NOW ONE BY ONE,
REACH IN YOUR POCKETS,
PUT YOUR GUNS
ON THE TABLE.
[ INTERCOM BEEPS ]
DR. CALLAHAN,
DR. CALLAHAN, CALL 125 WEST.
UH, UH, I'M SORRY.
I-I THOUGHT, UH...
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
DROP THE GUN.
[ GUNSHOT ]
I HAVE NO INFORMATION
ABOUT SAM EVANS.
HAVE YOU CHECKED
WITH PERSONNEL?
YEAH, BUT THEY SAID HE JUST
QUIT SHOWING UP FOR WORK.
THEN I GUESS THAT'S IT.
UH-HUH.
NOTHING. I THINK
WE SCARED HIM AWAY.
I'M NOT SO SURE.
BENTON...
THIS CONTRACT IS YOURS.
RI-I-I-GHT.
I'VE GOT "BUSINESS"
NEAR HERE.
[ ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ MUSIC STOPS ]
MR. KEARNEY.
WHO ARE YOU?
MY NAME'S MALLET.
I WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE
IN CALIFORNIA.
NO MORE EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE
RELATIONSHIPS --
A FULL PARTNERSHIP.
AND ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS HIT ALVIN TAYNOR.
NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
IF I WANT TAYNOR HIT,
I'VE GOT PEOPLE WHO CAN
HANDLE IT AS WELL AS YOU
AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER.
YOU WANT ME TO GO ON?
NOT ESPECIALLY.
YOU GET OUT
OF THE HOSPITAL TODAY.
I WANT
THAT SHIPMENT OF HEROIN
THAT COMES IN
TOMORROW MORNING.
AND I FIGURE IT'LL GO
$8 OR $9 MILLION ON THE STREET,
AND HALF OF THAT IS YOURS.
THINK IT OVER.
I'LL CALL YOU.
[ MUSIC RESUMES ]
I'LL TAKE THAT.
NOW GET GOING.
THANKS.
-NO RESTRICTIONS?
-NO.
THERE WILL BE A PHYSICAL
CHECK-UP EVERY WEEK,
AND IN TWO WEEKS,
WE'D LIKE YOU TO COME BACK
FOR A PSYCHOLOGICAL WORK-UP.
PSYCHOLOGICAL?
NOW, WHY PSYCHOLOGICAL?
WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT
OR NOT, FRANK,
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
QUITE A TRAUMA.
A TRANSPLANT PATIENT SOMETIMES
HAS STRANGE REACTIONS.
WHAT KIND OF
STRANGE REACTIONS, DOC?
DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF
YOUR DOUBLE-TALK, EITHER.
SIMPLY STATED,
YOU HAVE ANOTHER MAN'S HEART
BEATING INSIDE OF YOU.
YOU'RE GOING TO BEGIN TO WONDER
WHETHER IT'S AFFECTING
YOUR BEHAVIOR,
THE WAY YOU FEEL
ABOUT THINGS.
DON'T WORRY, DOC.
IT WON'T.
ARE YOU SURE?
MR. KEARNEY?
FATHER...
MR. TAYNOR.
[ Laughing ] FRANK.
OH, SURE IS GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I'VE BEEN
COUNTING THE HOURS.
-MY PLACE?
-SURE.
-GREAT.
-WHEN YOU GET OFF.
AS SOON AS I GET OFF.
[ Startled ] HOOH!
HI, FRANK.
HELLO, BENTON.
HOW YOU DOING, BOY?
MR. TAYNOR'S HERE.
WELCOME BACK.
SORRY I COULDN'T
GET TO THE HOSPITAL.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
MM-HMM.
HE WAS TOO BUSY
TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH,
BOY.
WHY, FRANK, THAT'S
NOT LIKE YOU AT ALL
TO GET UPSET OVER A BROAD.
I DON'T LIKE
BEING SPIED ON.
READY, FRANK?
YEAH.
TROUT AND WHITE WINE.
WHAT?
TROUT AND WHITE --
LOOK, I HAD STEAK
IN THE HOSPITAL
TILL IT WAS
COMING OUT MY EARS.
OKAY.
WHO ELSE DID YOU SEE IN THE
HOSPITAL BESIDE THE GIRL?
MALLET, AND YOU KNOW IT.
WHAT DID HE WANT?
WANTS THE SHIPMENT OF "H"
TOMORROW.
I WANT HIM HIT.
THERE'LL BE
A BIG BONUS IN IT --
$20,000.
WELL, I MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT.
HE'S GOT TO CALL ME BEFORE
THE SHIPMENT COMES IN.
I'LL TRY TO SET UP A MEETING.
EH? TRY? THAT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE YOU, FRANK.
WHAT ARE YOU
HASSLING ME FOR?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ME,"
"IT'S NOT LIKE YOU."
THIS IS ME, FRANK KEARNEY!
UPTIGHT.
DO YOU WANT ME TO
BONE IT FOR YOU, FRANK?
YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN DO
WITH THAT FISH?
SURE IS GRUMPY.
ANYBODY WANT A DEAD FISH?
YOUNG LADY,
NOBODY WANTS A DEAD FISH.
THERE.
WANT TO OPEN THAT FOR ME?
SURE.
[ CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS ]
I HATE WINE.
IT MAKES ME SICK.
WHY DID YOU ORDER IT
AT THE RESTAURANT?
I DON'T KNOW!
DON'T KNOW WHY I'M DOING
A LOT OF THINGS LATELY.
LIKE WHAT, HONEY?
QUIT BUGGING ME.
GEE, ALL I SAID WAS "LIKE WHAT?"
OH, SHUT UP!
ONE THING I DON'T NEED
IS A NAGGING WIFE.
[ Laughing ]
WASH YOUR MOUTH WITH SOAP.
WHAT?
YOU JUST CALLED ME
YOUR "WIFE."
HEY, YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO BE YOUR WIFE.
GIRLFRIENDS ARE MORE FUN
THAN WIVES, AREN'T THEY?
HMM?
LOOK, I'LL...GO CHANGE.
HONEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU'RE ALL SWEATY AND --
LOOK, AM I TOO MUCH
FOR YOU TONIGHT?
ALL I MEANT WAS YOU JUST
GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
[ SIGHS DEEPLY ]
GO CHANGE, HUH?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE,
OKAY?
YEAH.
OKAY.
[ MELLOW MUSIC PLAYS ]
NOW OUR
PUBLIC SERVICE SPECIAL --
"SCIENCE IN THE '70s."
TONIGHT'S TOPIC -- THE
HUMAN TRANSPLANT AND THE MIND.
UNTIL RECENTLY,
SURGEONS PAID NO ATTENTION
TO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
IMPLICATIONS
OF VITAL-ORGAN TRANSPLANTS.
NOW ALL THAT HAS CHANGED.
PATIENTS ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT WHO THEIR DONORS WERE.
MORE THAN THAT,
RECENT EXPERIMENTS INDICATED
THAT CERTAIN PATIENTS TAKE ON
A NUMBER OF BEHAVIOR PATTERNS
WHICH CORRESPOND
TO PATTERNS IN THEIR DONORS.
IN OTHER WORDS,
THEY BECOME A LITTLE LIKE --
[ RADIO STOPS PLAYING ]
PUT THAT ON!
WHAT?
[ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO ]
OH, HONEY, I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE LISTENING.
WHAT ELSE DID YOU THINK
I WAS DOING?
HEY.
LET'S DANCE.
HMM?
ALL RIGHT. LET'S DANCE.
MMM.
FRESH.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU WANT
TO BE CLOSE TO ME?
YEAH, SURE, KITTY,
BUT NOT HERE, NOT NOW,
NOT LIKE THIS.
IT'S...
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I ALMOST
DIED OR SOMETHING, KITTY,
BUT I WANT
SOMETHING MORE.
DID YOU EVER HEAR
THAT IT'S BETTER TO MARRY
THAN BE BURNT?
[ Laughing ] OH, WOW!
SUPER SQUARE!
COMPLETE
WITH BIBLE QUOTES YET!
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE FACT
THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT.
IT'S CREEPY!
THE GUY I WAS WAITING FOR
WAS...WAS FUN, HE WAS ALIVE.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE I NEED A BATH!
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
YES, HE'S HERE.
IT'S FOR YOU.
HELLO?
I CALLED
YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT.
THEY GAVE ME THIS NUMBER.
DO WE SPLIT THE "H" TOMORROW
OR NOT?
UMM...
YEAH, WE GOT A DEAL.
LET'S MEET
AND TALK IT OVER, HUH?
ALL RIGHT. MY PLACE.
I'M STAYING AT THE --
No, no,
I'll call the shots.
THERE'S A GARAGE
JUST OFF 4th AND MAIN.
I'LL BE INSIDE.
ALL RIGHT. FORTY MINUTES.
MALLET...COME ALONE.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO?
MALLET JUST CONTACTED ME.
IT'LL ALL BE OVER
IN ABOUT 40 MINUTES.
I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL
WHEN I FINISH.
I'M GOING TO GO
PICK UP ME 20 GRAND,
AND WHEN I COME BACK,
WE'LL SEE WHO'S SQUARE.
I'M SORRY.
WATCH YOURSELF!
WELL, I SAID "I'M SORRY"!
MALLET.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
KEARNEY!
THEY MUST HAVE TAKEN OUT
MORE THAN YOUR HEART, KEARNEY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
WHERE'S THAT BOAT COMING IN
IN THE MORNING?
I'M STILL GOING TO KILL YOU!
YEAH?
GUN'S BROKEN.
I COULDN'T PULL THAT TRIGGER.
THE TROUBLE'S WITH YOU,
NOT WITH THE GUN.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE!
SOUVENIR, MANNY.
THANKS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
KEARNEY.
HELLO?
TAYNOR,
YOU MADE A BAD MISTAKE.
YOU SENT A BOY
TO DO A MAN'S JOB.
YOU'RE DEAD.
KEARNEY SCREWED IT UP.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE HEROIN.
[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
[ POUNDING CONTINUES ]
KITTY!
SOMETHING I GOT TO KNOW.
FRANKIE, IT'S 6:00
IN THE MORNING!
YOU HAD ME
SCARED TO DEATH!
THE PRIEST
IN THE HOSPITAL --
THE ONE WHO SAID HE GAVE
LAST RITES TO THAT DONOR --
WHAT'S THAT PRIEST'S NAME?
UM, UM...JOHNSON.
JOHNSON. WHAT CHURCH?
WELL, HOW SHOULD I KNOW?
WAIT A MINUTE, UH...
WAIT A MINUTE.
I MENTIONED IT
TO THE COOK,
AND THE COOK SAID
HE KNEW HIM,
AND HE WAS FROM, UH...
KITTY!
ST. JOHN'S.
ST. JOHN'S,
FATHER JOHNSON.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND,
I HAVE NO CHOICE.
PLEASE LEAVE NOW.
LOOK, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND --
I DON'T LEAVE HERE
UNTIL YOU TELL ME.
I MUST RESPECT
THE DEAD MAN'S WISHES.
OH, FATHER --
PLEASE GO!
LOOK!
YOU WANT TO DIE, TOO?
I GREW UP WITH PRIESTS.
YOU'RE NOTHING SPECIAL TO ME.
-DON'T BE A FOOL!
-FRANK!
HE'S GOING TO TELL ME
WHO THE DONOR WAS.
FATHER, HE'S CRAZY.
HE'LL KILL YOU.
TELL HIM
WHAT HE WANTS TO KNOW...
FOR HIS OWN SOUL'S SAKE.
IT WAS ANTONY.
MY BROTHER IN GOD'S
SERVICE, FATHER ANTONY.
A PRIEST?
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
RIGHT HERE IN THIS CHURCH.
WHAT KIND OF MAN WAS HE?
TELL ME ABOUT HIM.
OH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
GOOD!
NONE OF YOU ARE ANY GOOD.
YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS!
MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU.
FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT?
I'M THE ONE THAT'S CURSED.
I WAS 14 WHEN
I RAN AWAY FROM YOU PEOPLE
BECAUSE I HATED YOUR GUTS.
I HAVE THIS THING
BEATING INSIDE OF ME!
[ CERAMIC SHATTERS ]
I'D HAVE BEEN
BETTER OFF DEAD.
SHOULD HAVE
JUST LET ME DIE.
FRANK...LET'S GO.
NOT TILL I'M --
FRANK, PLEASE!
LET'S GO.
[ CRASH ]
[ GUNFIRE ]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
FOR NOW.
WHO WAS IT, FRANK?
KITTY, HOW MUCH
YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?
EVERYTHING.
KITTY...
I WAS GOOD.
I WAS REAL GOOD.
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE THAT.
I HAD A CONTRACT TONIGHT.
I COULDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER.
JUST TAYNOR'S WAY
OF SAYING GOODBYE.
AND THIS IS KITTY...
WITH THE SAME MESSAGE.
KITTY, NO. WHAT --
I THINK I LOVE YOU.
YOU GOT TO COME WITH ME.
COME WHERE?
GO TO SOUTH AMERICA.
OH, SURE, SOUTH AMERICA.
THAT'S GREAT.
AND, FRANK, WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO LIVE ON?
I SUPPOSE YOU COULD ALWAYS
GO ON EXHIBITION
AS THE, UM, "KILLER WITH
THE HEART OF A PRIEST."
FRANK, YOU'RE JUST NOT GOOD
FOR ANYTHING ANYMORE.
COME ON.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.
YOU WAIT HERE.
WHAT'S IN THE BOAT?
$8 MILLION.
HI.
FRANK,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
BOSS WANTS ME TO PICK
THIS STUFF UP PERSONALLY.
I'M SUPPOSED TO LEAVE IT
ON THE PIER, LIKE ALWAYS.
DON'T GIVE ME A HARD TIME.
MR. TAYNOR,
HE'S SCARED OF A HEIST.
WHAT ABOUT PAYMENT?
USUAL WAY.
BE MY GUEST.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
FRANK?
WELL, I GOT WORRIED
ABOUT THE STUFF.
SO DID I...
AFTER I GOT
A CALL FROM MALLET
AND BENTON
COULDN'T LOCATE YOU.
OH?
PUT IT DOWN, FRANK.
OH, MR. TAYNOR.
PUT IT DOWN!
IT'S NOT MY FAULT!
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO THAT.
LOOK, THEY DID SOMETHING
TO ME IN THE HOSPITAL.
YEAH, MAYBE THEY KILLED ME
IN THE HOSPITAL, HUH?
DIDN'T THEY?
YES, FRANK,
I'M AFRAID THEY DID.
NO.
HELP!
DROP THE GUN, BENTON.
[ SIRENS WAILING ]
MR. TAYNOR...
WHAT'S IN THE FOOTLOCKER?
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
NOTHING'S THAT HEAVY.
I'M JUST FIGURING.
THAT BOATLOAD OF "H" OUGHT TO BE
WORTH ABOUT $6 MILLION.
$8 MILLION.
HOW COME TAYNOR'S OKAYED
MY SEEING THE LANDING SITE?
ON MY SAY-SO.
TAYNOR'S LATE.
YEP.
MILT.
-MILT, YOU THE MAN.
-WHAT?
YOU WERE SENT IN HERE TO FIND
OUT WHERE TAYNOR GETS HIS HORSE.
FRANK, YOU FLIPPED.
AH-AH.
YOU MESSED UP, BOY.
YOU MESSED UP BAD.
NOW TURN AROUND.
OKAY. FRANK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,
BUT YEAH,
I CAME IN TO GET TAYNOR.
AND WE'LL GET HIM
SOONER OR LATER.
AND WHEN WE DO,
I COULD MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU.
SAVE IT.
I DO MY JOB.
THAT'S ALL I DO.
FRANK, LISTEN --
[ THUD ]
GOOD MORNING, JIM.
SEVEN WEEKS FROM NOW
ON NOVEMBER 10,
$8 MILLION WORTH OF HEROIN
WILL BE LANDED
AT AN UNKNOWN POINT
ALONG THE COAST.
UNDERCOVER AGENT MILT ANDERSON
LOST HIS LIFE
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE.
ONLY TWO MEN
KNOW THE ACTUAL LANDING SITE --
ALVIN TAYNOR, BIGGEST NARCOTICS
DEALER IN THE NORTHWEST,
AND FRANK KEARNEY,
HIS CHIEF EXECUTIONER.
CONVENTIONAL
LAW-ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DEVELOP
ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO INTERCEPT THAT HEROIN
AND TO GET TAYNOR AND KEARNEY.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ HISSING ]
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
JIM, HOW LONG
SINCE THE IVERSON MOB
ACTUALLY PUT PRESSURE
ON TAYNOR?
A COUPLE OF MONTHS,
CASEY.
SO FAR, TAYNOR'S BEEN
JUST TOO TOUGH FOR THEM.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS --
KEARNEY WILL BE ON
THE CAMERA ITSELF.
I HAVE ALL
THE NECESSARY FOOTAGE,
WHICH WE'LL FEED
THROUGH THE VIDEOTAPE UNIT.
THE HOSPITAL'S
BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE, JIM.
THEY'VE GIVEN US
PART OF THE FOURTH FLOOR
AND ALL THE PERSONNEL
WE NEED.
HOW ABOUT KEARNEY'S
RECOVERY RATE, BARNEY?
WE'LL CONTROL THAT
WITH DRUGS.
HE'LL FEEL GOOD FAST
BUT NOT TOO FAST.
AND HE'LL BE DISCHARGED
ON THE 9th OF NOVEMBER,
ONE DAY BEFORE
THE BOAT IS DUE TO LAND.
RIGHT. CASEY?
I GOT THE JOB.
MM-HMM.
ANY PROBLEMS
WITH THE CHURCH, STEVE?
NO, JIM.
IT'LL BE CLOSED
TWO OR THREE MONTHS
BEFORE
THEY START REMODELING.
FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME
ABOUT KEARNEY'S BACKGROUND,
HE WAS RAISED AT ST. ANTHONY'S
ORPHANAGE IN NEW ORLEANS.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLACE.
WHAT MADE HIM GO BAD?
HE GOT IN A MINOR SCRAPE
WHEN HE WAS 14, RAN AWAY.
FROM THERE ON,
IT'S BEEN ALL DOWNHILL.
IT'S INTERESTING, THOUGH.
LAST TIME HE WAS
IN THE PENITENTIARY,
THEY DID QUITE A
PSYCHOLOGICAL WORK-UP ON HIM.
HIS RELIGIOUS CHILDHOOD LEFT
A DEEP, UNCONSCIOUS MARK.
YES, AND WE'RE
DEPENDING ON THAT.
NOW, UNDER
ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES,
NEITHER TAYNOR NOR KEARNEY
WOULD EVER GO NEAR
THAT BOATLOAD OF NARCOTICS.
MANNY, ONE THING
ABOUT KEARNEY --
HE NEVER CARRIES HIS GUN
IN THE SAME PLACE.
SOMETIMES THE HOLSTER,
SOMETIMES HIS POCKET.
IS THAT GOING TO
BOTHER YOU?
NAH,
I DON'T THINK SO.
BARNEY...
WILLY...
SORRY, JIM.
I JUST COULDN'T RESIST
TRYING TO FOOL THE EXPERTS.
WILLY...
[ COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS ]
MUST YOU?
OH, AND I THOUGHT
YOU DUG THAT KIND OF MUSIC.
MR. TAYNOR DOESN'T.
YOU'RE REALLY PUSHY LATELY,
AREN'T YOU?
AHHH...
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
FOR THE ANDERSON JOB.
I LIKE THE WAY
YOU HANDLED IT.
IT WAS ROUTINE.

OH, I'M SO SORRY!

YOU DON'T WORRY ENOUGH.

YOU WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION

OF PRIOR ORGANIC DETERIORATION
