The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964–1968): Season 2, Episode 19 - The Waverly Ring Affair - full transcript
Thrush has a mole inside UNCLE's New York headquarters. All signs point to George Dennell, a good-natured UNCLE employee who envies enforcement agents such as Solo and Kuryakin. Dennell protests he is innocent and Solo takes a big chance on George.
[WHISTLING]
- May I help you, sir?
- No, he was first. Go ahead.
- That's all right.
- No, I insist. Go on.
- This may take a while.
- Thank you. That's very kind of you.
You have some prints
for Watson Silvemagle, I believe?
Yes, right here. There you are, 1.25.
All right. Thank you.
Twenty-five and one.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, sir.
“Holy smoke and yumpin yiminy...
...have a birthday
that's winy and women-y.“ Ha-ha.
Boy, they really turn out the lulus
these days, don't they, boys?
I'm just not happy with the focus
on this last batch of enlargements.
- Well, we can have--
- I know what you mean.
There was a difference last time.
I said that to the man.
He said, “Our craftsmanship never varies.
Verified by an electronic verifier.“
Maybe I've been a little loud here, huh?
Well, sorry.
Sir, I think you picked up
the wrong envelope.
Oh, really?
- No, no, no. I think you're wrong.
- I think you should check it again.
I'm really very sorry.
Now, don't tell me there's nothing
in this batch about Project Windfall.
Not so far.
It's routine Thrush documents.
We have most of them already.
There's one on the diamond market.
Here's their plan
to sabotage the Olympic games.
We're going to run out
of courier drops we can raid.
If this thing, whatever it is...
...is as big as all signs indicate,
then these packets should be all full 01--
- Napoleon.
- Find something?
Yes, but it's
not on the planning conference.
- It's an U.N.C.L.E. document.
- What?
- And it's stamped “File 40.“
- Well, that's impossible.
Waverly himself can't take anything
out of File 40 from the building.
It's genuine.
- Then they've finally done it.
- And what a time for it to happen.
Thrush has a man in U.N.C.L.E.
The scanning system tests perfectly.
Don't believe it?
Just walk through the door.
01 better still, just put your hand through it.
[ALARM RINGING]
Okay, Fred.
- Cut off the alarm!
MAN: Right.
You see?
Anyone who comes through here...
...without first tripping the bypass
sets off the alarm...
...and then it's picked up
on the monitors.
Do you have a backup system?
Yes, sir. I installed it myself
over a year ago.
- Heat activated.
- How does that work, George?
In the event that the scanner system
should fail, it reacts to body heat.
How sensitive is it?
It can detect a passionate grasshopper
going by.
You wanna see how critical it is?
I'm sure we can trust your word for it,
Mr. Dennell.
It's your opinion, then...
...that no one could have got near File 40
without an authorized bypass key?
Yes. It had to be someone with a key.
Well, that would limit it to about,
what, two dozen men?
Yes.
Unhappily indicates
the person has been with us...
...long enough
to gain a position of responsibility.
Yes, that could make it
anyone ever the rank of area chief.
Could even be me.
WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Miss Drasten
from Security and Personnel. It's urgent.
Sit down.
You know everyone here, I think.
SOLO: Carla.
DROSTEN: Napoleon.
- Hi, Carla.
DROSTEN: Hello, George.
- May I speak frankly?
- Yes, of course.
Well, we've just turned up a discrepancy
in the history of one of our current trainees.
Yes, I see.
How far along is he in our processing?
Third stage. It'll mean detraining.
Unfortunate business.
I hate to get into that.
Well, he can't leave with what he knows.
Well, Mr. Kuryakin,
will you please take care of it?
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much, Miss Drosten.
- Oh, Carla, could I see you for a minute?
-01 course.
Personal business.
Well, Mr. Solo, what do you think?
I think that we're in
a bona-fide, first-class, grade-A mess.
To be precise,
our whole organization is paralyzed.
I can't issue a single order even, without
it immediately become known to Thrush.
What a time for it to happen.
Project Windfall is ready to get underway
and we don't even know what it is.
We're going to have to be prepared
for the worst.
What do you propose to do?
I propose to tum the whole matter
over to you.
Yes, sir.
[WHIRRING]
SOLO: A Waverly Ring?
WAVERLY: The Priority Ring.
Waverly Ring, if you prefer the colloquial.
For me?
Yes. I think you should wear one.
At least while you're working
on this assignment.
Well, I don't mind telling you...
...that watching you
activate one of those things...
...makes me just a wee bit nervous, sir.
I'm not surprised.
Really, there's no danger.
Providing you remember...
...that I'm the only one
who can take the thing 0” safely.
Well, since I hate loud bangs,
I think I shall remember.
Oh, more a boom than a bang, I'd say.
Am no one's to know
that you've been issued 3 Priority Ring...
...unless you have occasion
to use it for emergency identification.
- Or command.
- Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Make doubly sure
that everyone makes a full tum.
I will, Mr. Solo.
What happened
that clamped on Procedure 7?
- This is just routine precaution.
- Yes, sir.
[WHIRRING]
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Hi, Napoleon.
- Hi, George. How are you?
[WHIRRING]
[ALARM RINGING]
What"?
George, do you have any special clearance
to take U.N.C.L.E. papers past this gate?
Well, no, and I don't have any on me,
I don't believe.
Well, the scanner shows you do.
I might have written a grocery list
on the back 01--
No, I got groceries last night.
I made myself a note to remember--
But I threw that out
because it's a trash paper.
Here the trouble is.
It's a note typed in Thrush code.
Code?
Now, think, George.
A document in Thrush code
typed on U.N.C.L.E. stationery.
Now, any idea how
it could've gotten in your pocket?
I only know that I don't know.
Napoleon, you've known me
since I first applied to U.N.C.L.E.
You don't really believe I'm the one.
No. I trust you, George.
But if I ever discover I'm wrong...
...I shall personally spread your extremities
over the greater part of North America.
Thanks, Napoleon.
“Na? “Na?
I suppose I'm a pragmatist...
...and I don't believe
all the final evidence is in yet.
- Mr. Waverly, do you believe me?
- Hm?
- Do you--?
- Beg your pardon?
- Do you believe I'm innocent?
- Oh.
Why, yes. 01 course.
Well, I wanna say
that I certainly do appreciate that, sir.
If I were in your shoes
and this had happened to somebody else...
...I just don't know what I'd do.
Well, I guess I should get back to work.
Oh, Mr. Dennell...
...you won't be going back to work.
- Sir?
- I'm ordering you to be detrained at once.
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Good afternoon, doctor.
We're supposed to stay here and watch,
if you don't mind.
It's a special case.
I see. Well, certainly you're welcome.
Won't you sit down?
- Isn't there some way to stop this?
- George, just relax. Sit down.
You'll be all right.
Shouldn't we shield our eyes
or something?
No, concentration of the beam
is necessary for a hypnotic effect.
You might get a little drowsy
it you watch from that angle.
You don't have to worry...
...about being brainwashed of your
own information, if that's what you mean.
Now, Mr. Dennell, I want you to relax
and count slowly with me.
- One.
- One.
- Two.
- Two.
- Three.
- Three.
- Four.
- Four.
- Five.
- Five.
Six.
- Six.
- Seven.
Good.
Now, Mr. Dennell...
...you will forget everything you've learned
while with U.N.C.L.E.
You will wipe your memory clean.
Absolutely clean.
All knowledge of personnel rank...
...who is responsible to whom,
who holds what job.
Call it to your mind.
And now there is a curtain
in front of it.
Now, who is Mr. Alexander Waverly?
He's...
...a nice man I used to work for.
DOCTOR:
What is his job?
I don't know.
What was your job with U.N.C.L.E.?
I don't remember.
Well...
...that should do it.
- Are you sure this is foolproof, doctor?
- Utterly, Mr. Solo.
I've heard that some people
cannot be hypnotized.
By parlor hypnotists, perhaps.
But no one can resist this beam,
I assure you.
And here's the latest proof:
One, two, three.
George, I want you to tell me...
...what is the function
of U.N.C.L.E. Section 7?
I don't know.
Otherwise,
his memory's perfectly sound.
It's just that any intimate information
about U.N.C.L.E. has been erased...
...or rather buried so deeply
it can never be recovered.
Well, thank you, doctor.
Thank you very much.
You're quite welcome.
Come on, George.
Hey! Now, steady. Steady, boy.
They're frequently a little dizzy
for a few minutes. It will pass.
Right. Well, thank you again, doctor.
Come on.
Doctor.
All right, George, can you tell us now...
...what the basic equipment is
in U.N.C.L.E. communications?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Well, starting with the smallest,
there's the X24 Communicator...
...which comes in seven disguises
including cigarette pack and chocolate bar.
Then there's the X36 Communicator...
...housed in a larger package,
such as a briefcase...
...but has the advantage
of being able to cover a 175-degree arc...
...on the earth's surface
without a relay station.
Then there's the X54--
- All right, we're convinced.
- Come on.
Boy, don't let anybody ever tell you
these opaque contact lenses are fun.
Suppose you wanna get in touch with us
and you can't get of their sight.
There's a special list
of U.N.C.L.E. contacts in public places.
- Memorize that list.
- Oh, I will.
What about this? You don't know me.
I come up to you, tell you to follow me,
then you hear the sound of a Waverly Ring.
A Waverly Ring
commands instantaneous obedience...
...no matter what kind of a creep
happens to be wearing it.
No offense, IIIya.
Well, how's our new member
of Operations and Enforcement?
- He's all set, sir.
- I guess so, sir.
I must confess I've envied you guys,
the kind of action you get in your jobs.
- But now I'm not so sure.
- You have my sympathy.
I take it you're clear on everything,
Mr. Dennell?
Yes, sir. I guess so.
I'm supposed to act as though I were
furious I got kicked out of U.N.C.L.E.
And then let lots of people know that
I'm furious and then see what happens.
Very good.
Whoever it was
planted that paper in Thrush code...
...wanted us to think you were a traitor.
Very well, we'll go along.
Maybe we'll find out why.
More important,
find out who the real traitor is.
Well, I'll do my best, sir.
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you, sir.
Oh, Mr. Dennell, there's one other thing
I'd like to discuss with you.
You gentlemen needn't wait.
- Napoleon, is it true?
- What?
Oh, George.
Yes, I'm afraid it is--
I'm sorry, sit down. Please.
I heard a rumor this morning,
but naturally, I didn't believe it.
We were supposed to meet for lunch.
Oh.
And, Napoleon,
I know how he feels about me.
Lunch dates make it easy
to keep things merely friendly.
- But he didn't show up.
- He was being detrained.
- Oh, no.
- It's allover now.
I-- I just can't believe it.
- I feel as if it's all my fault.
- And why is that?
If it's true, then there's something
in his clearance file that I missed.
- Not necessarily.
- Or else we need new security procedures.
Listen, why don't we talk it
over dinner some night?
After all, my rival has left the scene now.
Don't kid about George. Please?
I'm sorry. But the invitation's still valid.
All right.
- Tonight?
- Fine.
Oh, I just remembered
I have a prior commitment this evening.
It's business, I assure you.
Tonight, yes.
I'm catching a helicopter to the airport
in 15 minutes.
I'd say it's a rather a bad time
for you to be in Japan.
I agree, but I have no choice.
Bradford's death was most untimely.
He was on the track of that new installation
Thrush is building in Kyoto.
How long will you be gone, sir?
Well, I would hope to be able
to reorganize the office in a day.
Maybe two.
I'm leaving you in charge
of Headquarters operation, Mr. Solo.
Yes, sir.
[PHONE BEEPING]
- Miss Drosten speaking.
- Hi, Carla, this is George.
George Dennell, how dare you call me
after what happened?
Please, please, I don't know
what they told you, but please listen to me.
- Can I see you tonight?
- Certainly not.
But after we--
After all we've meant to each other,
you just can't--
We have not meant anything,
George Dennell.
We", weren't we even friends?
Yes, we were friends.
Well, then, can't we just talk?
And in federal law, a man is innocent
until he's proven guilty.
- George, I think you've had enough.
- In every significant legal system...
...since the beginning
of mankind's recorded history...
...has included the principle that a man
is guilty until he's proven innocent.
Or the other way around.
In case you're interested, this goes back
to the Code of Hammurabi for all I know.
- George, please.
- No, no, no. Carla, this is important.
Now, does this principle
apply to an employer?
No. They can use you up, take your
vintage years, then just toss you aside...
...because somebody happened to hear
something. And do they need any proof?
Not our dear friends in U.N.C.L.E.,
they don't.
- George, please.
- I know what you mean.
I got an uncle who's a louse too.
I mean, he owns three clothing stores,
and when my brother asked him for a job--
No, no, no. Not my uncle. U.N.C.L.E.
U-N-C-L-E.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, our dear friends in U.N.C.L.E.
can do anything they please.
Carla, it I were you, I would
get out of that chicken-picking outfit...
...as fast as I could.
Don't you think
it's getting a little loud in here?
How was business tonight?
Well, well, well, if it isn't the great Solo.
The Babe Ruth of U.N.C.L.E.-dom.
My pal. The fellow who wouldn't even
lift an elbow to help me...
...when I was
getting kicked out on my ear.
- George.
- You know what I think of you, great Solo?
DROSTEN:
George!
Well, that's what I think.
DENNELL:
Gee, I'm sorry, Napoleon.
I was trying to put feeling into the pan.
I don't if that helps
but I'm glad to hear it.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Mr. Dennell, if you would like to discuss
a mutually advantageous business deal...
...meet me in the parking lot
of the Golden Drake at 9 tonight.
Hel-- Hello? Hello? Who is this?
- They hit. I'm to meet him at 9:00 tonight.
- Excellent. Where, where?
At the parking lot
of the Golden Drake Hotel.
All right, here. Take this package of gum.
A micro transmitter inside the tinfoil.
I can track you up to a half mile away.
Here we are.
Sugarless.
- Trying to lose a little weight.
- I like that. Get another piece?
Sure.
It's your last one. Thanks.
I still can't figure out...
...why George put the homing device
on the wrong car.
Could be inexperience or accident 01--
Or he could have done it on purpose,
which is an entirely different kettle of fish.
What? George, playing a double game?
Well, somebody is.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Come in.
- Napoleon, I think I've found it.
SOLO: What?
- The mistake in George's files.
SOLO: There was a mistake?
And I think I know
when he got his Thrush training.
He was registered at the university
for a year of graduate study...
...seven years ago.
But it turns out...
...it was one of the study-in-Europe,
get-credit-at-home deals.
So while the record shows
he was enrolled that year, he--
He was actually in Europe.
I felt sorry for him at first
but not anymore.
I, for one, am very glad
to see the last of George Dennell.
MAN 1:
Quick, give me your communicator.
- What?
MAN 1: Just do it.
A Waverly Ring.
Here, take it.
- Well, what did he look like?
MAN 2: I couldn't really tell.
Not very tall, medium build.
[just couldn't see.
Never mind. I think it's George.
In on, 18.
- That's it.
He signaled me with a Waverly Ring,
so I gave him my communicator and--
- Repeat. Say again?
- He signaled me with a Waverly Hing.
- Genuine?
- Confirmed.
Thank you.
George Dennell has a Waverly Ring.
What would life be
without its little surprises?
Get me overseas relay.
Calling Mr. Waverly.
Total priority.
Hello? Hello, Communications.
Would you please tell me what's so difficult
about trying to make contact with Japan?
WOMAN:
We can reach Japan, Mr. Solo...
...but Mr. Waveflv's plane
is headed this way via the polar route.
The aurora borealis seems to be
jamming the microwave frequencies...
...which make it rather difficult
to make contact.
All right, thank you.
Have you still any doubts
that it's George?
All right, assuming I am prejudiced
about George and I like him...
...I still can't conceive of him
being a double agent.
What about Waverly?
You trust his judgment, don't you?
- He gave him the ring, didn't he?
- We think he did.
Until we hear from him,
we cannot be sure.
Are you suggesting
that George somehow stole one?
ILLYA:
I'm only trying to deal with the facts.
- Can you think of anything else?
- Nothing.
For a while, I thought it might be
that detrainee that Carla uncovered...
...who had a lapse in his personal record.
No, he was completely detrained.
And anyway.
he doesn't have access to File 40.
This is the most maddening thing.
For a while,
I thought it might even be Carla.
- Carla.
- It was just an idea.
She has one of the cleanest records.
She was recruited just out of high school.
There isn't one moment of her personal life
that hasn't been accounted for.
[BEEPING]
- Solo here.
DENNELL: Hi, Napoleon. It's me, George.
- George, where are you?
- Listen, I can't talk now.
I want you to meet me at the
Hazard Research and Development Ham-
The what?
The Hazard Research and Development
on Long Island. Now, listen.
Bring with you the drawings of the new
underwater adapter for our .45 Special.
It's File 40.
File 40?
I can't take that out of the building.
You have to.
What do you want
with Headquarters-security information?
Just trust me,
everything depends on it. Goodbye.
Hello, operator? Never mind.
- Hi, going in my general direction?
- Hi, go ahead, please.
[ALARM RINGING]
This is very embarrassing. I--
Oh.
Just a phone number I wrote down.
I didn't wanna rely on my memory.
I guess I'll think of it the next time, huh?
A very special phone number, Napoleon?
Now, Carla, really?
It's a natural mistake to make, Mr. Solo.
Look, the next time you write a special
number down, use untreated paper.
I'll do that. Yeah.
Mr. Solo. I'm gonna have to
run you through again. Just to make sure.
There is such a thing as carrying routine
to the point of absurdity. We're in a hurry.
It doesn't bother me.
You think Mr. Solo would take
File 40 documents out of this building?
- I'm sorry. Okay, Mr. Solo, you can go.
Okay, thank you.
Too bad.
I'll have to report him for allowing me
to bully him out of doing his job.
The ironies of responsibility.
I'll be in touch.
Right.
Napoleon.
- George, is everything all right?
- Come on.
We can talk safely here.
Well, I think it's a nice little place
to have a nice little talk.
Did you bring them?
You know, I've never realized that
research required quite so much machinery.
- Napoleon, did you bring the drawings?
- Yes.
- What are you going to do with them?
- May I have them?
George, I have to know
what you intend to do with them.
You really do trust me,
don't you, Napoleon?
- Shouldn't I?
- Why not?
I must be trustworthy.
Everybody trusts me.
Including those fellas.
You win some, you lose some.
Night watchmen.
Don't move until I do.
Hi there. I'm from
the Alchemy Electronics Corporation.
I thought you might be interested--
George!
George, get the other gun.
All right, stand back.
Well, I must say you didn't break
any speed records for getting that gun.
Well, there didn't seem to be any urgency
since you were clearly outnumbered.
Well, all right, let's take him.
I've got something to show you.
- What do you mean, we've lost him?
- There's nothing on his channel but static.
There was the residual hum
from the frequency beam...
...just the way it's supposed to be,
then all 01a sudden, it stopped, then static.
- Have you signaled him?
- A dozen times.
All right, keep trying.
Not bad, huh?
Better than my little cubbyhole
down at U.N.C.L.E.
Oh, I don't know, George,
I always thought your office had character.
Actually, this suite
has only been assigned to me temporarily...
...because there's so many VIPs
in town.
- Hey, Napoleon, you want a drink?
- Yeah, a little Scotch, George.
All right, all right. Sit down.
Hey, listen, Napoleon,
you know that Thrush center in Kyoto?
The one that we figured was being built
as their new weaponry-development center?
Well, get this:
It isn't in Japan at all. It's right here.
The Thrush people just started
that Kyoto rumor just to throw us off.
- Well, cheers.
- Cheers.
I see. So that's why Bradford was killed.
Because he was on to it, right?
No, not exactly. Well, partly.
But actually, the real reason, the real reason
was to get Waverly out of the way.
They're a real efficient bunch,
these guys.
Yes, I've observed that, George.
Yeah, but you see it better
from the inside.
George, what I'd like to know--
I mean, is this for real?
Oh, sure. Sure, it is.
This is a nice organization,
once you get to know the people.
And besides, it has the added advantage
of being kind of an Old Home Week.
Well, would you just look who's here?
It's nice to see you, Carla.
- I hope George has made you comfortable.
- We've had a pleasant visit, yes.
Good. How do you like our new facilities?
Gee, I hate to bring business into the party,
but you know old, curious me.
Well, it's just a little something
that we're calling Project Windfall.
Oh, yes. I've heard about it.
But not enough.
We had no idea
how prophetic our title would be.
- Did he bring the drawings?
- He said he did.
SOLO:
Oh, come on, George.
- Naturally, I had to say I brought it. I mean--
DENNELL: Uh, fellas.
You know I couldn't take File 40
out of the building.
Yeah, fellows, look inside his left sleeve.
There's a zipper in the cuff.
Yep, that's it.
George, think of what you're doing.
It is hard to believe, isn't it, Napoleon?
But we were talking about Project Windfall.
Come on over and sit down.
It's really very simple.
We are going to capture
U.N.C.L.E. Headquarters.
Cigarette?
No, no.
Well, that does sound like fun.
And the fun part is
that it's really going to happen.
Napoleon, they've got experts
from all over the world in everything...
-...just waiting to start.
- Mm-hm.
I could give them information on the layout
but not concerning security devices.
I was counting on getting that
from File 40.
I must admit that the other afternoon,
when you intercepted that packet...
...I thought we were going to
have to drop the whole affair.
But it occurred to me
that under the right circumstances...
...George might decide to help us.
You see what I mean about a windfall?
I'm sure George could have remembered
enough to make the project a success.
But with George and this...
...well, they'll never even know
what happened.
Sure is lucky you didn't detrain me.
DROSTEN:
You see? Another windfall.
We were just about to try to find
a memory crack through counter hypnosis.
Sony, we're going to leave you
for a while.
The final briefing's about to start.
Just make yourself at home.
- Oh, don't worry about me.
- I won't.
You're welcome to try our security.
Call for help if you like.
Oh, dear, I forgot.
There's an electronic jamming screen
around this place.
Only our own frequencies can get through.
Too bad, isn't it?
- Most unfortunate.
- Oh, excuse me, one last thing.
Now that you've seen the place,
obviously you'll have to be killed.
See you later.
Stay over there.
Didn't you hear the young lady
offer me the run of the place?
- Just stay over there.
- Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
Soon, there won't be any place
to have the run of.
What do you mean?
I'm sure you gentlemen can understand
my position. If I'm going to die...
...I should be able to select the time
and the method and who goes with me.
What's that?
You mean Thrush doesn't arm you with
self-destruct devices? I'm amazed at that.
All right, just put that right over there
on that table.
Well, I'm sorry. It's already armed.
Just a matter of a second
and I'll take my...
My superiors indicate to me
that is was the most painless way.
Just" Just a minute.
- Just close your eyes.
- No, wait!
Look out!
Kill the power.
All right, get him up.
- Get a “drayton thramper“ on him.
- Right.
Power on again.
What was that
you said we should put on him?
This is Solo.
I've climbed above a jamming screen.
If you can hear me, I'm at the Hazard
Research and Development Company.
In the main foundry, there's a door--
No! Bring him down.
I'm sorry, Napoleon. Our plans for you
are much more imaginative.
I'm telling you, that's all he said.
“If you can hear me...
...come to the Hazard Research
and Development Company.
In the main foundry, there's a door.“
Then there was silence for a few seconds
and the static started again.
All right.
Thank you.
I think it's highly appropriate...
...that you'll be the first one
to test our new disposal facilities.
Well, I'm honored, naturally.
Well, you see, whenever we have to
dispose of some unwieldy item...
...a body for instance,
our machine wraps it in airtight plastic...
...so there won't be
any embarrassing signs.
And then it attaches some lead weights
and a jet-bottle propulsion unit.
It's really marvelous.
Well, does sound clever.
And then the jet-bottle propulsion unit
propels it like a miniature submarine...
...out to a spot in the bay.
An unusually deep spot.
And the fuel runs out and it sinks.
Son of Thrush's answer
to the population explosion.
Well, as I said, it's untested.
But we feel confident
it will work beautifully.
Well, I'll let you know if it doesn't.
Only if it doesn't.
MAN:
Sony, we've closed for the day.
Oh, what a shame,
and I've come such along way too.
Never mind.
I can handle this myself quite well.
Well...
...here it is.
What's the matter, George?
I don't think
I'm gonna like this part of it.
Oh, George,
don't you appreciate the irony?
The great Mr. Solo himself,
your rival and all that.
I never considered him much 01a rival.
Of course, you're right, George.
but he thought he was.
Well, I wonder how I ever got that idea.
In most ways, I'll miss you, Napoleon.
Much?
I think so, yes.
Well...
...that's going to make it easier.
- Napoleon.
- Yes?
You must understand. I--
Now...
...both of you were saying?
Close the match cover, George.
Get your hands up, George.
Both of you charming people.
[WHIRRING]
That's right, Napoleon.
The joke's on Thrush.
Don't let him feel you, Napoleon.
His ring is a fake.
Well, that's an interesting situation,
wouldn't you say?
I know my ring is real
because Mr. Waverly himself put it on me.
He's lying, Napoleon.
He was the plant in U.N.C.L.E. all the time.
Me? How can you say that?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Ask him about File-40 paper.
What about that?
- What about that, George?
- It was your idea that I pretend to defect.
When I found out about Project Windfall,
I thought, buy, it I could get in on that.
To get their confidence quickly
was the problem.
And your answer was
to give top secrets out of our files, huh?
If that's your idea of helping,
I'd hate to have you against us.
It wasn't that way at all.
The drawings you brought are worthless.
I test-fired that experimental weapon
myself and it's--
It's useless. It's no good.
It'll take months to get it right.
And what I found
is worth a dozen weapons like that.
Well, that's very persuasive.
- What's your version, Carla?
- I don't have a version, only the truth.
I've been a member of Waverly's personal
top-secret assignment for over a year.
He issued me a Waverly Ring...
...when I discovered
we had an infiltrate! from Thrush.
He ordered me to join Thrush
to find out the identity of the infiltrator.
Since I was working
on a similar plan with George...
...why didn't Waverly tell me about you?
Let's face it, Napoleon.
One of us, either George or I...
...was working under U.N.C.L.E. orders
that you didn't know about.
- I'm telling you the truth. It was I.
- It was me-- I.
Would I have freed you
when you were treed like a squirrel?
You really looked very funny.
You freed me
to try out the machine, Carla.
Oh, and I let you
take my gun away from me.
Napoleon,
if I was really a Thrush agent...
...I wouldn't let a moonstruck look
interfere with my orders.
Well, only one of you is telling the truth.
If that is a genuine Waverly Ring,
where did George get the one he's wearing?
It's a cheap imitation.
They made it up in the Thrush lab.
All right, Carla. Come over here.
- George, right here.
- What?
I'm gonna make sure
you don't feel anyone else with that.
Take it off.
- But it'll explode.
- I said, take it off.
- Look out!
- Carla, where are you going?
That's a cheap imitation Waverly Ring.
Why are you trying to duck out?
Do you really think
you've won anything, Napoleon?
Regardless of what you do to me,
you are both still hopelessly trapped.
- George, come here.
- Yeah.
- You know how to get out?
- I know the general direction.
All right. If we can't get out,
maybe we can get someone to come in.
Yes. Try yelling for help.
You've got a very ingenious
job of camouflage here, Carla.
However, there's gotta be
a ventilating system somewhere.
George, collect everything that'll bum.
DROSTEN: Do you really think an installation
like this isn't protected against tire?
SOLO: Keep walking and don't panic.
You're liable to get trampled. Or worse.
This is the way, Napoleon.
Just how are we going to get across
a 1-million-volt field?
- This is the way I came in.
- All right.
- Hey, get her!
- Never mind her, run!
DROSTEN:
Tum on the auxiliary power.
DROSTEN:
That was a nice try, Napoleon.
This time, there are no more fuses
left for you to blow.
So you might as well drop your gun
and come to mama like a good little boy.
Shoot, you fools. Shoot!
And where were you all this time?
Trying to read your smoke signals.
They're even more illegible
than your handwriting.
Well, I must confess...
...this procedure always makes me feel
a bit jittery myself.
There is one thing I'd like to know,
Mr. Waverly.
Why did you trust me?
You had evidence against me...
...and you still trusted me
so far as to give me this ring.
Well, security measures are valuable,
of course.
But there comes a time
when a man must judge character.
In all modesty, I consider myself
rather good in that connection.
So perhaps it's just as well I wasn't around
when you were doing your best performing.
Much the same as your having
instinctive faith in my ability to do this.
Well, at least I proved
I'm capable of working in Enforcement.
- Well, George, I mean, you have proved--
- No, I even know how to do this.
Of course" 01 course,
my work in Section 4 is so dam important.
We could never expect much active help
from you when you're needed so badly.
All right, Mr. Dennell,
you're much more valuable where you are.
Well, call me
when you're in another tight spot.
Mr. Solo? Next.
[ENGLISH SDH]
- May I help you, sir?
- No, he was first. Go ahead.
- That's all right.
- No, I insist. Go on.
- This may take a while.
- Thank you. That's very kind of you.
You have some prints
for Watson Silvemagle, I believe?
Yes, right here. There you are, 1.25.
All right. Thank you.
Twenty-five and one.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, sir.
“Holy smoke and yumpin yiminy...
...have a birthday
that's winy and women-y.“ Ha-ha.
Boy, they really turn out the lulus
these days, don't they, boys?
I'm just not happy with the focus
on this last batch of enlargements.
- Well, we can have--
- I know what you mean.
There was a difference last time.
I said that to the man.
He said, “Our craftsmanship never varies.
Verified by an electronic verifier.“
Maybe I've been a little loud here, huh?
Well, sorry.
Sir, I think you picked up
the wrong envelope.
Oh, really?
- No, no, no. I think you're wrong.
- I think you should check it again.
I'm really very sorry.
Now, don't tell me there's nothing
in this batch about Project Windfall.
Not so far.
It's routine Thrush documents.
We have most of them already.
There's one on the diamond market.
Here's their plan
to sabotage the Olympic games.
We're going to run out
of courier drops we can raid.
If this thing, whatever it is...
...is as big as all signs indicate,
then these packets should be all full 01--
- Napoleon.
- Find something?
Yes, but it's
not on the planning conference.
- It's an U.N.C.L.E. document.
- What?
- And it's stamped “File 40.“
- Well, that's impossible.
Waverly himself can't take anything
out of File 40 from the building.
It's genuine.
- Then they've finally done it.
- And what a time for it to happen.
Thrush has a man in U.N.C.L.E.
The scanning system tests perfectly.
Don't believe it?
Just walk through the door.
01 better still, just put your hand through it.
[ALARM RINGING]
Okay, Fred.
- Cut off the alarm!
MAN: Right.
You see?
Anyone who comes through here...
...without first tripping the bypass
sets off the alarm...
...and then it's picked up
on the monitors.
Do you have a backup system?
Yes, sir. I installed it myself
over a year ago.
- Heat activated.
- How does that work, George?
In the event that the scanner system
should fail, it reacts to body heat.
How sensitive is it?
It can detect a passionate grasshopper
going by.
You wanna see how critical it is?
I'm sure we can trust your word for it,
Mr. Dennell.
It's your opinion, then...
...that no one could have got near File 40
without an authorized bypass key?
Yes. It had to be someone with a key.
Well, that would limit it to about,
what, two dozen men?
Yes.
Unhappily indicates
the person has been with us...
...long enough
to gain a position of responsibility.
Yes, that could make it
anyone ever the rank of area chief.
Could even be me.
WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Miss Drasten
from Security and Personnel. It's urgent.
Sit down.
You know everyone here, I think.
SOLO: Carla.
DROSTEN: Napoleon.
- Hi, Carla.
DROSTEN: Hello, George.
- May I speak frankly?
- Yes, of course.
Well, we've just turned up a discrepancy
in the history of one of our current trainees.
Yes, I see.
How far along is he in our processing?
Third stage. It'll mean detraining.
Unfortunate business.
I hate to get into that.
Well, he can't leave with what he knows.
Well, Mr. Kuryakin,
will you please take care of it?
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much, Miss Drosten.
- Oh, Carla, could I see you for a minute?
-01 course.
Personal business.
Well, Mr. Solo, what do you think?
I think that we're in
a bona-fide, first-class, grade-A mess.
To be precise,
our whole organization is paralyzed.
I can't issue a single order even, without
it immediately become known to Thrush.
What a time for it to happen.
Project Windfall is ready to get underway
and we don't even know what it is.
We're going to have to be prepared
for the worst.
What do you propose to do?
I propose to tum the whole matter
over to you.
Yes, sir.
[WHIRRING]
SOLO: A Waverly Ring?
WAVERLY: The Priority Ring.
Waverly Ring, if you prefer the colloquial.
For me?
Yes. I think you should wear one.
At least while you're working
on this assignment.
Well, I don't mind telling you...
...that watching you
activate one of those things...
...makes me just a wee bit nervous, sir.
I'm not surprised.
Really, there's no danger.
Providing you remember...
...that I'm the only one
who can take the thing 0” safely.
Well, since I hate loud bangs,
I think I shall remember.
Oh, more a boom than a bang, I'd say.
Am no one's to know
that you've been issued 3 Priority Ring...
...unless you have occasion
to use it for emergency identification.
- Or command.
- Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Make doubly sure
that everyone makes a full tum.
I will, Mr. Solo.
What happened
that clamped on Procedure 7?
- This is just routine precaution.
- Yes, sir.
[WHIRRING]
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Hi, Napoleon.
- Hi, George. How are you?
[WHIRRING]
[ALARM RINGING]
What"?
George, do you have any special clearance
to take U.N.C.L.E. papers past this gate?
Well, no, and I don't have any on me,
I don't believe.
Well, the scanner shows you do.
I might have written a grocery list
on the back 01--
No, I got groceries last night.
I made myself a note to remember--
But I threw that out
because it's a trash paper.
Here the trouble is.
It's a note typed in Thrush code.
Code?
Now, think, George.
A document in Thrush code
typed on U.N.C.L.E. stationery.
Now, any idea how
it could've gotten in your pocket?
I only know that I don't know.
Napoleon, you've known me
since I first applied to U.N.C.L.E.
You don't really believe I'm the one.
No. I trust you, George.
But if I ever discover I'm wrong...
...I shall personally spread your extremities
over the greater part of North America.
Thanks, Napoleon.
“Na? “Na?
I suppose I'm a pragmatist...
...and I don't believe
all the final evidence is in yet.
- Mr. Waverly, do you believe me?
- Hm?
- Do you--?
- Beg your pardon?
- Do you believe I'm innocent?
- Oh.
Why, yes. 01 course.
Well, I wanna say
that I certainly do appreciate that, sir.
If I were in your shoes
and this had happened to somebody else...
...I just don't know what I'd do.
Well, I guess I should get back to work.
Oh, Mr. Dennell...
...you won't be going back to work.
- Sir?
- I'm ordering you to be detrained at once.
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Good afternoon, doctor.
We're supposed to stay here and watch,
if you don't mind.
It's a special case.
I see. Well, certainly you're welcome.
Won't you sit down?
- Isn't there some way to stop this?
- George, just relax. Sit down.
You'll be all right.
Shouldn't we shield our eyes
or something?
No, concentration of the beam
is necessary for a hypnotic effect.
You might get a little drowsy
it you watch from that angle.
You don't have to worry...
...about being brainwashed of your
own information, if that's what you mean.
Now, Mr. Dennell, I want you to relax
and count slowly with me.
- One.
- One.
- Two.
- Two.
- Three.
- Three.
- Four.
- Four.
- Five.
- Five.
Six.
- Six.
- Seven.
Good.
Now, Mr. Dennell...
...you will forget everything you've learned
while with U.N.C.L.E.
You will wipe your memory clean.
Absolutely clean.
All knowledge of personnel rank...
...who is responsible to whom,
who holds what job.
Call it to your mind.
And now there is a curtain
in front of it.
Now, who is Mr. Alexander Waverly?
He's...
...a nice man I used to work for.
DOCTOR:
What is his job?
I don't know.
What was your job with U.N.C.L.E.?
I don't remember.
Well...
...that should do it.
- Are you sure this is foolproof, doctor?
- Utterly, Mr. Solo.
I've heard that some people
cannot be hypnotized.
By parlor hypnotists, perhaps.
But no one can resist this beam,
I assure you.
And here's the latest proof:
One, two, three.
George, I want you to tell me...
...what is the function
of U.N.C.L.E. Section 7?
I don't know.
Otherwise,
his memory's perfectly sound.
It's just that any intimate information
about U.N.C.L.E. has been erased...
...or rather buried so deeply
it can never be recovered.
Well, thank you, doctor.
Thank you very much.
You're quite welcome.
Come on, George.
Hey! Now, steady. Steady, boy.
They're frequently a little dizzy
for a few minutes. It will pass.
Right. Well, thank you again, doctor.
Come on.
Doctor.
All right, George, can you tell us now...
...what the basic equipment is
in U.N.C.L.E. communications?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Well, starting with the smallest,
there's the X24 Communicator...
...which comes in seven disguises
including cigarette pack and chocolate bar.
Then there's the X36 Communicator...
...housed in a larger package,
such as a briefcase...
...but has the advantage
of being able to cover a 175-degree arc...
...on the earth's surface
without a relay station.
Then there's the X54--
- All right, we're convinced.
- Come on.
Boy, don't let anybody ever tell you
these opaque contact lenses are fun.
Suppose you wanna get in touch with us
and you can't get of their sight.
There's a special list
of U.N.C.L.E. contacts in public places.
- Memorize that list.
- Oh, I will.
What about this? You don't know me.
I come up to you, tell you to follow me,
then you hear the sound of a Waverly Ring.
A Waverly Ring
commands instantaneous obedience...
...no matter what kind of a creep
happens to be wearing it.
No offense, IIIya.
Well, how's our new member
of Operations and Enforcement?
- He's all set, sir.
- I guess so, sir.
I must confess I've envied you guys,
the kind of action you get in your jobs.
- But now I'm not so sure.
- You have my sympathy.
I take it you're clear on everything,
Mr. Dennell?
Yes, sir. I guess so.
I'm supposed to act as though I were
furious I got kicked out of U.N.C.L.E.
And then let lots of people know that
I'm furious and then see what happens.
Very good.
Whoever it was
planted that paper in Thrush code...
...wanted us to think you were a traitor.
Very well, we'll go along.
Maybe we'll find out why.
More important,
find out who the real traitor is.
Well, I'll do my best, sir.
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you, sir.
Oh, Mr. Dennell, there's one other thing
I'd like to discuss with you.
You gentlemen needn't wait.
- Napoleon, is it true?
- What?
Oh, George.
Yes, I'm afraid it is--
I'm sorry, sit down. Please.
I heard a rumor this morning,
but naturally, I didn't believe it.
We were supposed to meet for lunch.
Oh.
And, Napoleon,
I know how he feels about me.
Lunch dates make it easy
to keep things merely friendly.
- But he didn't show up.
- He was being detrained.
- Oh, no.
- It's allover now.
I-- I just can't believe it.
- I feel as if it's all my fault.
- And why is that?
If it's true, then there's something
in his clearance file that I missed.
- Not necessarily.
- Or else we need new security procedures.
Listen, why don't we talk it
over dinner some night?
After all, my rival has left the scene now.
Don't kid about George. Please?
I'm sorry. But the invitation's still valid.
All right.
- Tonight?
- Fine.
Oh, I just remembered
I have a prior commitment this evening.
It's business, I assure you.
Tonight, yes.
I'm catching a helicopter to the airport
in 15 minutes.
I'd say it's a rather a bad time
for you to be in Japan.
I agree, but I have no choice.
Bradford's death was most untimely.
He was on the track of that new installation
Thrush is building in Kyoto.
How long will you be gone, sir?
Well, I would hope to be able
to reorganize the office in a day.
Maybe two.
I'm leaving you in charge
of Headquarters operation, Mr. Solo.
Yes, sir.
[PHONE BEEPING]
- Miss Drosten speaking.
- Hi, Carla, this is George.
George Dennell, how dare you call me
after what happened?
Please, please, I don't know
what they told you, but please listen to me.
- Can I see you tonight?
- Certainly not.
But after we--
After all we've meant to each other,
you just can't--
We have not meant anything,
George Dennell.
We", weren't we even friends?
Yes, we were friends.
Well, then, can't we just talk?
And in federal law, a man is innocent
until he's proven guilty.
- George, I think you've had enough.
- In every significant legal system...
...since the beginning
of mankind's recorded history...
...has included the principle that a man
is guilty until he's proven innocent.
Or the other way around.
In case you're interested, this goes back
to the Code of Hammurabi for all I know.
- George, please.
- No, no, no. Carla, this is important.
Now, does this principle
apply to an employer?
No. They can use you up, take your
vintage years, then just toss you aside...
...because somebody happened to hear
something. And do they need any proof?
Not our dear friends in U.N.C.L.E.,
they don't.
- George, please.
- I know what you mean.
I got an uncle who's a louse too.
I mean, he owns three clothing stores,
and when my brother asked him for a job--
No, no, no. Not my uncle. U.N.C.L.E.
U-N-C-L-E.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, our dear friends in U.N.C.L.E.
can do anything they please.
Carla, it I were you, I would
get out of that chicken-picking outfit...
...as fast as I could.
Don't you think
it's getting a little loud in here?
How was business tonight?
Well, well, well, if it isn't the great Solo.
The Babe Ruth of U.N.C.L.E.-dom.
My pal. The fellow who wouldn't even
lift an elbow to help me...
...when I was
getting kicked out on my ear.
- George.
- You know what I think of you, great Solo?
DROSTEN:
George!
Well, that's what I think.
DENNELL:
Gee, I'm sorry, Napoleon.
I was trying to put feeling into the pan.
I don't if that helps
but I'm glad to hear it.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Mr. Dennell, if you would like to discuss
a mutually advantageous business deal...
...meet me in the parking lot
of the Golden Drake at 9 tonight.
Hel-- Hello? Hello? Who is this?
- They hit. I'm to meet him at 9:00 tonight.
- Excellent. Where, where?
At the parking lot
of the Golden Drake Hotel.
All right, here. Take this package of gum.
A micro transmitter inside the tinfoil.
I can track you up to a half mile away.
Here we are.
Sugarless.
- Trying to lose a little weight.
- I like that. Get another piece?
Sure.
It's your last one. Thanks.
I still can't figure out...
...why George put the homing device
on the wrong car.
Could be inexperience or accident 01--
Or he could have done it on purpose,
which is an entirely different kettle of fish.
What? George, playing a double game?
Well, somebody is.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Come in.
- Napoleon, I think I've found it.
SOLO: What?
- The mistake in George's files.
SOLO: There was a mistake?
And I think I know
when he got his Thrush training.
He was registered at the university
for a year of graduate study...
...seven years ago.
But it turns out...
...it was one of the study-in-Europe,
get-credit-at-home deals.
So while the record shows
he was enrolled that year, he--
He was actually in Europe.
I felt sorry for him at first
but not anymore.
I, for one, am very glad
to see the last of George Dennell.
MAN 1:
Quick, give me your communicator.
- What?
MAN 1: Just do it.
A Waverly Ring.
Here, take it.
- Well, what did he look like?
MAN 2: I couldn't really tell.
Not very tall, medium build.
[just couldn't see.
Never mind. I think it's George.
In on, 18.
- That's it.
He signaled me with a Waverly Ring,
so I gave him my communicator and--
- Repeat. Say again?
- He signaled me with a Waverly Hing.
- Genuine?
- Confirmed.
Thank you.
George Dennell has a Waverly Ring.
What would life be
without its little surprises?
Get me overseas relay.
Calling Mr. Waverly.
Total priority.
Hello? Hello, Communications.
Would you please tell me what's so difficult
about trying to make contact with Japan?
WOMAN:
We can reach Japan, Mr. Solo...
...but Mr. Waveflv's plane
is headed this way via the polar route.
The aurora borealis seems to be
jamming the microwave frequencies...
...which make it rather difficult
to make contact.
All right, thank you.
Have you still any doubts
that it's George?
All right, assuming I am prejudiced
about George and I like him...
...I still can't conceive of him
being a double agent.
What about Waverly?
You trust his judgment, don't you?
- He gave him the ring, didn't he?
- We think he did.
Until we hear from him,
we cannot be sure.
Are you suggesting
that George somehow stole one?
ILLYA:
I'm only trying to deal with the facts.
- Can you think of anything else?
- Nothing.
For a while, I thought it might be
that detrainee that Carla uncovered...
...who had a lapse in his personal record.
No, he was completely detrained.
And anyway.
he doesn't have access to File 40.
This is the most maddening thing.
For a while,
I thought it might even be Carla.
- Carla.
- It was just an idea.
She has one of the cleanest records.
She was recruited just out of high school.
There isn't one moment of her personal life
that hasn't been accounted for.
[BEEPING]
- Solo here.
DENNELL: Hi, Napoleon. It's me, George.
- George, where are you?
- Listen, I can't talk now.
I want you to meet me at the
Hazard Research and Development Ham-
The what?
The Hazard Research and Development
on Long Island. Now, listen.
Bring with you the drawings of the new
underwater adapter for our .45 Special.
It's File 40.
File 40?
I can't take that out of the building.
You have to.
What do you want
with Headquarters-security information?
Just trust me,
everything depends on it. Goodbye.
Hello, operator? Never mind.
- Hi, going in my general direction?
- Hi, go ahead, please.
[ALARM RINGING]
This is very embarrassing. I--
Oh.
Just a phone number I wrote down.
I didn't wanna rely on my memory.
I guess I'll think of it the next time, huh?
A very special phone number, Napoleon?
Now, Carla, really?
It's a natural mistake to make, Mr. Solo.
Look, the next time you write a special
number down, use untreated paper.
I'll do that. Yeah.
Mr. Solo. I'm gonna have to
run you through again. Just to make sure.
There is such a thing as carrying routine
to the point of absurdity. We're in a hurry.
It doesn't bother me.
You think Mr. Solo would take
File 40 documents out of this building?
- I'm sorry. Okay, Mr. Solo, you can go.
Okay, thank you.
Too bad.
I'll have to report him for allowing me
to bully him out of doing his job.
The ironies of responsibility.
I'll be in touch.
Right.
Napoleon.
- George, is everything all right?
- Come on.
We can talk safely here.
Well, I think it's a nice little place
to have a nice little talk.
Did you bring them?
You know, I've never realized that
research required quite so much machinery.
- Napoleon, did you bring the drawings?
- Yes.
- What are you going to do with them?
- May I have them?
George, I have to know
what you intend to do with them.
You really do trust me,
don't you, Napoleon?
- Shouldn't I?
- Why not?
I must be trustworthy.
Everybody trusts me.
Including those fellas.
You win some, you lose some.
Night watchmen.
Don't move until I do.
Hi there. I'm from
the Alchemy Electronics Corporation.
I thought you might be interested--
George!
George, get the other gun.
All right, stand back.
Well, I must say you didn't break
any speed records for getting that gun.
Well, there didn't seem to be any urgency
since you were clearly outnumbered.
Well, all right, let's take him.
I've got something to show you.
- What do you mean, we've lost him?
- There's nothing on his channel but static.
There was the residual hum
from the frequency beam...
...just the way it's supposed to be,
then all 01a sudden, it stopped, then static.
- Have you signaled him?
- A dozen times.
All right, keep trying.
Not bad, huh?
Better than my little cubbyhole
down at U.N.C.L.E.
Oh, I don't know, George,
I always thought your office had character.
Actually, this suite
has only been assigned to me temporarily...
...because there's so many VIPs
in town.
- Hey, Napoleon, you want a drink?
- Yeah, a little Scotch, George.
All right, all right. Sit down.
Hey, listen, Napoleon,
you know that Thrush center in Kyoto?
The one that we figured was being built
as their new weaponry-development center?
Well, get this:
It isn't in Japan at all. It's right here.
The Thrush people just started
that Kyoto rumor just to throw us off.
- Well, cheers.
- Cheers.
I see. So that's why Bradford was killed.
Because he was on to it, right?
No, not exactly. Well, partly.
But actually, the real reason, the real reason
was to get Waverly out of the way.
They're a real efficient bunch,
these guys.
Yes, I've observed that, George.
Yeah, but you see it better
from the inside.
George, what I'd like to know--
I mean, is this for real?
Oh, sure. Sure, it is.
This is a nice organization,
once you get to know the people.
And besides, it has the added advantage
of being kind of an Old Home Week.
Well, would you just look who's here?
It's nice to see you, Carla.
- I hope George has made you comfortable.
- We've had a pleasant visit, yes.
Good. How do you like our new facilities?
Gee, I hate to bring business into the party,
but you know old, curious me.
Well, it's just a little something
that we're calling Project Windfall.
Oh, yes. I've heard about it.
But not enough.
We had no idea
how prophetic our title would be.
- Did he bring the drawings?
- He said he did.
SOLO:
Oh, come on, George.
- Naturally, I had to say I brought it. I mean--
DENNELL: Uh, fellas.
You know I couldn't take File 40
out of the building.
Yeah, fellows, look inside his left sleeve.
There's a zipper in the cuff.
Yep, that's it.
George, think of what you're doing.
It is hard to believe, isn't it, Napoleon?
But we were talking about Project Windfall.
Come on over and sit down.
It's really very simple.
We are going to capture
U.N.C.L.E. Headquarters.
Cigarette?
No, no.
Well, that does sound like fun.
And the fun part is
that it's really going to happen.
Napoleon, they've got experts
from all over the world in everything...
-...just waiting to start.
- Mm-hm.
I could give them information on the layout
but not concerning security devices.
I was counting on getting that
from File 40.
I must admit that the other afternoon,
when you intercepted that packet...
...I thought we were going to
have to drop the whole affair.
But it occurred to me
that under the right circumstances...
...George might decide to help us.
You see what I mean about a windfall?
I'm sure George could have remembered
enough to make the project a success.
But with George and this...
...well, they'll never even know
what happened.
Sure is lucky you didn't detrain me.
DROSTEN:
You see? Another windfall.
We were just about to try to find
a memory crack through counter hypnosis.
Sony, we're going to leave you
for a while.
The final briefing's about to start.
Just make yourself at home.
- Oh, don't worry about me.
- I won't.
You're welcome to try our security.
Call for help if you like.
Oh, dear, I forgot.
There's an electronic jamming screen
around this place.
Only our own frequencies can get through.
Too bad, isn't it?
- Most unfortunate.
- Oh, excuse me, one last thing.
Now that you've seen the place,
obviously you'll have to be killed.
See you later.
Stay over there.
Didn't you hear the young lady
offer me the run of the place?
- Just stay over there.
- Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
Soon, there won't be any place
to have the run of.
What do you mean?
I'm sure you gentlemen can understand
my position. If I'm going to die...
...I should be able to select the time
and the method and who goes with me.
What's that?
You mean Thrush doesn't arm you with
self-destruct devices? I'm amazed at that.
All right, just put that right over there
on that table.
Well, I'm sorry. It's already armed.
Just a matter of a second
and I'll take my...
My superiors indicate to me
that is was the most painless way.
Just" Just a minute.
- Just close your eyes.
- No, wait!
Look out!
Kill the power.
All right, get him up.
- Get a “drayton thramper“ on him.
- Right.
Power on again.
What was that
you said we should put on him?
This is Solo.
I've climbed above a jamming screen.
If you can hear me, I'm at the Hazard
Research and Development Company.
In the main foundry, there's a door--
No! Bring him down.
I'm sorry, Napoleon. Our plans for you
are much more imaginative.
I'm telling you, that's all he said.
“If you can hear me...
...come to the Hazard Research
and Development Company.
In the main foundry, there's a door.“
Then there was silence for a few seconds
and the static started again.
All right.
Thank you.
I think it's highly appropriate...
...that you'll be the first one
to test our new disposal facilities.
Well, I'm honored, naturally.
Well, you see, whenever we have to
dispose of some unwieldy item...
...a body for instance,
our machine wraps it in airtight plastic...
...so there won't be
any embarrassing signs.
And then it attaches some lead weights
and a jet-bottle propulsion unit.
It's really marvelous.
Well, does sound clever.
And then the jet-bottle propulsion unit
propels it like a miniature submarine...
...out to a spot in the bay.
An unusually deep spot.
And the fuel runs out and it sinks.
Son of Thrush's answer
to the population explosion.
Well, as I said, it's untested.
But we feel confident
it will work beautifully.
Well, I'll let you know if it doesn't.
Only if it doesn't.
MAN:
Sony, we've closed for the day.
Oh, what a shame,
and I've come such along way too.
Never mind.
I can handle this myself quite well.
Well...
...here it is.
What's the matter, George?
I don't think
I'm gonna like this part of it.
Oh, George,
don't you appreciate the irony?
The great Mr. Solo himself,
your rival and all that.
I never considered him much 01a rival.
Of course, you're right, George.
but he thought he was.
Well, I wonder how I ever got that idea.
In most ways, I'll miss you, Napoleon.
Much?
I think so, yes.
Well...
...that's going to make it easier.
- Napoleon.
- Yes?
You must understand. I--
Now...
...both of you were saying?
Close the match cover, George.
Get your hands up, George.
Both of you charming people.
[WHIRRING]
That's right, Napoleon.
The joke's on Thrush.
Don't let him feel you, Napoleon.
His ring is a fake.
Well, that's an interesting situation,
wouldn't you say?
I know my ring is real
because Mr. Waverly himself put it on me.
He's lying, Napoleon.
He was the plant in U.N.C.L.E. all the time.
Me? How can you say that?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Ask him about File-40 paper.
What about that?
- What about that, George?
- It was your idea that I pretend to defect.
When I found out about Project Windfall,
I thought, buy, it I could get in on that.
To get their confidence quickly
was the problem.
And your answer was
to give top secrets out of our files, huh?
If that's your idea of helping,
I'd hate to have you against us.
It wasn't that way at all.
The drawings you brought are worthless.
I test-fired that experimental weapon
myself and it's--
It's useless. It's no good.
It'll take months to get it right.
And what I found
is worth a dozen weapons like that.
Well, that's very persuasive.
- What's your version, Carla?
- I don't have a version, only the truth.
I've been a member of Waverly's personal
top-secret assignment for over a year.
He issued me a Waverly Ring...
...when I discovered
we had an infiltrate! from Thrush.
He ordered me to join Thrush
to find out the identity of the infiltrator.
Since I was working
on a similar plan with George...
...why didn't Waverly tell me about you?
Let's face it, Napoleon.
One of us, either George or I...
...was working under U.N.C.L.E. orders
that you didn't know about.
- I'm telling you the truth. It was I.
- It was me-- I.
Would I have freed you
when you were treed like a squirrel?
You really looked very funny.
You freed me
to try out the machine, Carla.
Oh, and I let you
take my gun away from me.
Napoleon,
if I was really a Thrush agent...
...I wouldn't let a moonstruck look
interfere with my orders.
Well, only one of you is telling the truth.
If that is a genuine Waverly Ring,
where did George get the one he's wearing?
It's a cheap imitation.
They made it up in the Thrush lab.
All right, Carla. Come over here.
- George, right here.
- What?
I'm gonna make sure
you don't feel anyone else with that.
Take it off.
- But it'll explode.
- I said, take it off.
- Look out!
- Carla, where are you going?
That's a cheap imitation Waverly Ring.
Why are you trying to duck out?
Do you really think
you've won anything, Napoleon?
Regardless of what you do to me,
you are both still hopelessly trapped.
- George, come here.
- Yeah.
- You know how to get out?
- I know the general direction.
All right. If we can't get out,
maybe we can get someone to come in.
Yes. Try yelling for help.
You've got a very ingenious
job of camouflage here, Carla.
However, there's gotta be
a ventilating system somewhere.
George, collect everything that'll bum.
DROSTEN: Do you really think an installation
like this isn't protected against tire?
SOLO: Keep walking and don't panic.
You're liable to get trampled. Or worse.
This is the way, Napoleon.
Just how are we going to get across
a 1-million-volt field?
- This is the way I came in.
- All right.
- Hey, get her!
- Never mind her, run!
DROSTEN:
Tum on the auxiliary power.
DROSTEN:
That was a nice try, Napoleon.
This time, there are no more fuses
left for you to blow.
So you might as well drop your gun
and come to mama like a good little boy.
Shoot, you fools. Shoot!
And where were you all this time?
Trying to read your smoke signals.
They're even more illegible
than your handwriting.
Well, I must confess...
...this procedure always makes me feel
a bit jittery myself.
There is one thing I'd like to know,
Mr. Waverly.
Why did you trust me?
You had evidence against me...
...and you still trusted me
so far as to give me this ring.
Well, security measures are valuable,
of course.
But there comes a time
when a man must judge character.
In all modesty, I consider myself
rather good in that connection.
So perhaps it's just as well I wasn't around
when you were doing your best performing.
Much the same as your having
instinctive faith in my ability to do this.
Well, at least I proved
I'm capable of working in Enforcement.
- Well, George, I mean, you have proved--
- No, I even know how to do this.
Of course" 01 course,
my work in Section 4 is so dam important.
We could never expect much active help
from you when you're needed so badly.
All right, Mr. Dennell,
you're much more valuable where you are.
Well, call me
when you're in another tight spot.
Mr. Solo? Next.
