LET'S GO.
CHANNING HAS DONE
BRILLIANTLY FOR OUR CAUSE,

[ ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS ]
YOU.
AND YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU
IN THE BOOTH, SIR.
DID THEY SAY
WHO WAS CALLING?
IT'S ABOUT AN APPOINTMENT
YOU HAVE FOR TOMORROW.
WAIT FOR ME.
OF COURSE.
Man: GOOD EVENING, MR. PHELPS.
BECAUSE OF RECENT EARTHQUAKES,
OUR DISTANT EARLY-WARNING
RADAR SYSTEM
HAS BEEN SEVERELY CRIPPLED.
THE UNITED STATES
IS NOW IN DANGER
OF AN UNDETECTABLE
PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR ATTACK.
A FEW HOURS AGO, THIS MAN,
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT ADVISOR
WHITMORE CHANNING,
MURDERED AN AIR FORCE OFFICIAL
AND STOLE TOP-SECRET DATA
SPECIFYING THE EXACT AREAS
WHERE OUR WARNING SYSTEM
IS NO LONGER OPERATIVE.
HE HAS PLACED THIS DATA
IN AN UNKNOWN LOCATION
FOR PICKUP AT 5:00 P.M.
TOMORROW BY AN ENEMY AGENT.
THE IDENTITY OF THIS
OTHER AGENT IS UNKNOWN.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
IF YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO PREVENT THIS INFORMATION
FROM FALLING INTO THE HANDS
OF THE ENEMY.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
Channing: YES.
UNFORTUNATELY,
THE OTHER PARTY
HAD TO BE KILLED.
Man: WHAT ABOUT
THE MATERIAL?
Channing:
I LEFT IT AT DROP B.
DROP B.
I'LL CATCH THE USUAL
FLIGHT TO LOS ANGELES.
I'LL PICK IT UP
ABOUT 5:00 P.M. YOUR --
OUR PLANE LEAVES
IN 45 MINUTES.
IF THE GOVERNMENT
HAD CHANNING
UNDER SURVEILLANCE,
HOW WAS HE ABLE
TO MAKE THE DROP
WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT?
THEY DIDN'T SUSPECT HIM
UNTIL AFTER
THEY FOUND THE BODY
OF THE MAN HE KILLED
TO GET THE PLANS.
CHANNING MADE IT LOOK
LIKE SUICIDE.
LET ME SHOW YOU
WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE.
OUR ONLY DEFENSE
AGAINST SURPRISE
PREEMPTIVE MISSILE ATTACK
IS THIS LINE
OF ELECTRONIC EYES --
OUR DISTANT EARLY-WARNING
RADAR SYSTEM.
RECENT EARTHQUAKES
HAVE SEVERED THESE LINES
HERE AND HERE,
CREATING BLIND SPOTS.
IT'LL TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH
TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE.
JIM, WHY DON'T THEY
JUST ARREST CHANNING?
AND INTERROGATE HIM?
IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME.
HIS DOSSIER --
HIS SECURITY EVALUATION
TELLS US HE'S TOUGH,
SELF-DISCIPLINED,
SUPREMELY EGOCENTRIC.
PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION
ESTABLISHES BEYOND QUESTION
THAT HE WON'T CRACK EASILY
UNDER PRESSURE.
IT'LL TAKE A LONG TIME
TO BREAK HIM.
THEY'LL BE READY
FOR US IN L.A., JIM.
THE ENTIRE BLOCK
WILL BE EVACUATED.
YOU AND WILLY CAN STUDY
CHANNING'S APARTMENT
LAYOUT ON THE PLANE.
THE PURPOSE OF OUR PLAN
IS TO GET CHANNING
TO REVEAL HIS CONTROL'S
CODE NAME AND FLIGHT NUMBER.
IF WE DON'T SUCCEED,
BY 5:00 P.M. TOMORROW
THE UNITED STATES
WILL BE WIDE OPEN
TO PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR ATTACK.

Jim: [ As colonel ]
BRING ON WHITMORE CHANNING.
REPEAT --
WHITMORE CHANNING.
WHITMORE CHANNING...YOU
HAVE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE
IN FORMULATING YOUR
COUNTRY'S WAR POLICES.
YOU ARE, THEREFORE,
AUTOMATICALLY AN ENEMY --
I WISH TO SPEAK WITH
YOUR CHIEF OF INTELLIGENCE.
AN ENEMY OF THE EUROPEAN
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
COLONEL...
I MUST CAUTION YOU.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT
AN UNPARDONABLE ERROR.
WHY DON'T YOU FIND OUT
WHO WHITMORE CHANNING IS?
YOU'LL BE DOING YOURSELF
AND OUR NEW SOCIETY
A VITAL SERVICE.
OUR NEW SOCIETY?
I INCLUDE MYSELF.
THE NAME
WHITMORE CHANNING
HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE
TO THIS TRIBUNAL.
I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU,
COLONEL,
THAT YOU'RE INTERFERING
IN MATTERS
FAR BEYOND THE RANGE
OF YOUR COMMAND!
IF I DIE, NO MAN IN THIS ROOM
WILL BE ALIVE TONIGHT!
YOU FOOL!
I'M THE REASON
YOU'RE HERE!
I AND NO ONE ELSE!
I AM THE PERSON
THAT GAVE YOU THE INFORMATION
THAT MADE THIS INVASION
POSSIBLE!
I AM ON DETACHED DUTY
FROM INTELLIGENCE SERVICE,
MR. CHANNING.
HOW IS IT
I DO NOT KNOW OF YOU?
WELL, OF COURSE,
YOU DON'T KNOW OF ME!
I'M OPERATING UNDER
A CODENAME -- RICHTER SEVEN!
BRING HIM BACK.
NOW SPEAK.
THE DAY BEFORE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT 4:00,
I KILLED GENERAL WALDEN POWERS
IN ORDER TO PHOTOGRAPH
THE SECRET DATA PERTAINING
TO THE UNITED STATES'S
CRIPPLED RADAR SYSTEM.
I DEPOSITED
THIS INFORMATION
FOR PICKUP
BY MY CONTROL.
THIS ENABLED THE FORCES
OF THE EPR TO LAUNCH THE ATTACK.
IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY
DID YOU NOT REPORT
TO YOUR PREARRANGED
RECEPTION POINT?
UNFORTUNATELY, I SUFFERED
A SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
IN MY QUARTERS,
AND I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.
YOUR CODE NAME AGAIN?
RICHTER SEVEN.
HOW MANY DROPS
IN THE AREA BACKUP?
SIX.
WHERE IS DROP "A"?
I'M SORRY, COLONEL.
IT ISN'T THAT I MISTRUST YOU,
BUT DETAILS OF THAT SORT --
THE EXACT LOCATION
OF A DROP --
MUST REMAIN, FOR THE MOMENT,
BETWEEN MY CONTROL AND ME.
WHAT DROP DID YOU USE?
I USED DROP "B."
PHONE.
THE SUBJECT SAYS
DROP "B."
IS THAT SATISFACTORY?
VERY WELL.
PUT HIM
IN THE DETENTION ROOM.
WAIT. ISN'T THERE ANYTHING
ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW?
YOU HAVE TOLD US
WHAT WE WISH TO KNOW.
YOU MEAN...YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT
INFORMATION ABOUT DROP "B"?
YOU HAVE TOLD US
WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.

THOMAS HOWARD.
MAJOR.
UNITED STATES AIR FORCE.
SERIAL NUMBER 708975.
YOU ARE AN ENEMY
OF THE PEOPLE.
[ Anxiously ]
WHEN THEY CALL YOU,

Jim: [ As colonel ]
BRING ON WHITMORE CHANNING.
REPEAT --
WHITMORE CHANNING.
WHITMORE CHANNING...YOU
HAVE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE
IN FORMULATING YOUR
COUNTRY'S WAR POLICES.
YOU ARE, THEREFORE,
AUTOMATICALLY AN ENEMY --
I WISH TO SPEAK WITH
YOUR CHIEF OF INTELLIGENCE.
AN ENEMY OF THE EUROPEAN
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
COLONEL...
I MUST CAUTION YOU.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT
AN UNPARDONABLE ERROR.
WHY DON'T YOU FIND OUT
WHO WHITMORE CHANNING IS?
YOU'LL BE DOING YOURSELF
AND OUR NEW SOCIETY
A VITAL SERVICE.
OUR NEW SOCIETY?
I INCLUDE MYSELF.
THE NAME
WHITMORE CHANNING
HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE
TO THIS TRIBUNAL.
I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU,
COLONEL,
THAT YOU'RE INTERFERING
IN MATTERS
FAR BEYOND THE RANGE
OF YOUR COMMAND!
IF I DIE, NO MAN IN THIS ROOM
WILL BE ALIVE TONIGHT!
YOU FOOL!
I'M THE REASON
YOU'RE HERE!
I AND NO ONE ELSE!
I AM THE PERSON
THAT GAVE YOU THE INFORMATION
THAT MADE THIS INVASION
POSSIBLE!
I AM ON DETACHED DUTY
FROM INTELLIGENCE SERVICE,
MR. CHANNING.
HOW IS IT
I DO NOT KNOW OF YOU?
WELL, OF COURSE,
YOU DON'T KNOW OF ME!
I'M OPERATING UNDER
A CODENAME -- RICHTER SEVEN!
BRING HIM BACK.
NOW SPEAK.
THE DAY BEFORE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT 4:00,
I KILLED GENERAL WALDEN POWERS
IN ORDER TO PHOTOGRAPH
THE SECRET DATA PERTAINING
TO THE UNITED STATES'S
CRIPPLED RADAR SYSTEM.
I DEPOSITED
THIS INFORMATION
FOR PICKUP
BY MY CONTROL.
THIS ENABLED THE FORCES
OF THE EPR TO LAUNCH THE ATTACK.
IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY
DID YOU NOT REPORT
TO YOUR PREARRANGED
RECEPTION POINT?
UNFORTUNATELY, I SUFFERED
A SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
IN MY QUARTERS,
AND I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.
YOUR CODE NAME AGAIN?
RICHTER SEVEN.
HOW MANY DROPS
IN THE AREA BACKUP?
SIX.
WHERE IS DROP "A"?
I'M SORRY, COLONEL.
IT ISN'T THAT I MISTRUST YOU,
BUT DETAILS OF THAT SORT --
THE EXACT LOCATION
OF A DROP --
MUST REMAIN, FOR THE MOMENT,
BETWEEN MY CONTROL AND ME.
WHAT DROP DID YOU USE?
I USED DROP "B."
PHONE.
THE SUBJECT SAYS
DROP "B."
IS THAT SATISFACTORY?
VERY WELL.
PUT HIM
IN THE DETENTION ROOM.
WAIT. ISN'T THERE ANYTHING
ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW?
YOU HAVE TOLD US
WHAT WE WISH TO KNOW.
YOU MEAN...YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT
INFORMATION ABOUT DROP "B"?
YOU HAVE TOLD US
WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.

[ PAPERS SHUFFLING ]
I'M SORRY, SIR.
THERE SEEMS TO BE
A MISUNDERSTANDING HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
MAYBE THE GIRL
MISPRONOUNCED THE NAME.
IT HAPPENS.
THE MESSAGE I HAVE HERE
IS FOR MR. LEO BIXEN.
YOU SEE?
I TOOK THE MESSAGE MYSELF.
MRS. BIXEN WAS SUPPOSED
TO MEET HIM AT THE PLANE,
