[crickets chirping]

Yes, I am calling
from Arlington, Virginia.

(male #2 on phone)
'Hello?'

- Lancer here.
- 'Go ahead.'

Channel D inoperative.

Direct report.

When the Premier
of Western Natumba

visits the plant

they're going to assassinate..

[line disconnects]

[intense music]

[key clacking]

Hello?

He..

[doorknob rattling]

[doorknob clicking]

Lancer. Is that you?

Darling.

- What happened?
- Sorry, Angela.

Thought I'd lost them,
but they followed me.

Oh, never mind.

- I'll call the doc--
- There's no way.

The phone is out.

They're outside
right now.

It's pitch black outside there.

Maybe you can
slip across the roof.

Come, I'll show you.

Careful.

[indistinct whispering]

They'll kill..

I had...no place else
to go.

- I didn't want to involve--
- Shh.

Let me take a look.

I can't see anything,
it's too black

but they can see us here
and I'm gonna get a coat

and we'll leave immediately.

No, no, you stay right here.

- Oh, please, let's not argue--
- No.

Y-you can't drive
in these conditions.

I have to take you
to a doctor, please.

[breathing heavily]

I'll go first.

[intense music]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

Had he made any contact?

He started a message
to his chief

'before I had a chance
to break the connection.'

That's too bad.

We'll have to make some
immediate arrangements there.

Too bad.

No labels.

Nothing in his pockets
except these extra clips.

[chuckling]

Prints removed
from the ends

of his fingertips
by surgery.

'An assault force
from WASP.'

What do you think
their purpose?

To kill him.

(Allison)
'With a little effort,
Mr. Solo..'

...you might have taken that man
alive to answer that question.

I'm sorry, sir.

They've taken, uh,
three prisoners at ground level.

Have this replaced.

Hold the prisoners here,
Mr. Kuryakin.

Clear the room.

(Allison)
'Come inside, Mr. Solo.'

Sit down.

(Solo)
'Mr. Allison, the prisoners.'

Illya, look.

[intense music]

They are dead.

But how?

They broke through
at the agent's entrance.

A vulnerable area.

WASP has some pretty
fair information about us

they knew that
it took a white badge

to pass to level two.

Yes, they made the mistake,
however, of not knowing

about the chemical on
the fingers of the receptionist

and if she did not handle
the, uh..

...badges,
the alarm would go off.

How well did you know
Mr. Lancer?

Not very well.

One of our agents, or was

judging by your use
of the past tense.

Mr. Lancer was
a very good agent.

Exceptional.

Fine emotional balance,
mature.

I know how you
value maturity, Mr. Allison.

Two months ago,
Mr. Lancer secured a job

as a handyman at
the Global Chemical Cooperation.

- You know the firm?
- It's in Maryland.

One of the largest
in the country.

Mm-hmm.

It's also an
eastern seaboard cover of WASP.

Few months ago..

...we discovered
that the president of the firm

Mr. Andrew Vulcan himself..

'...is an officer of WASP.'

(Allison)
'An hour ago, I had
a direct phone call'

'from Mr. Lancer.'

He didn't use his channel?

They'd exposed him
and were closing in.

He said, and these were
his exact words

"When the Premier
of Western Natumba

"visits the plant

they're going
to assassinate.."

- That's all?
- He was cut off.

Apparently,
they killed him.

Also, apparently, they..

...did know
exactly how much he told me.

So they were trying
to kill you?

I guess Lancer passed
some information to you.

'Well, we can stop the
assassination of the premier.'

We can stop this attempt,
not the next one.

'We must also know
why they want to assassinate'

the premier
of a newly independent

very primitive
African nation.

The premier is over here
on an economic mission.

He's in Washington, DC
to inspect Vulcan's plant.

It could happen
within 48 hours.

'Take over Mr. Lance's contact'

'channel D and complete
his mission.'

[doorbell buzzes]

Margaret Oberon
Channel D office.

It's nice place to visit, but I
wouldn't want to live here.

Thanks, my benefactor.

I was almost off
for a weekend at Fire Island.

Now, I'm assigned to you.

On a 24-hour
until-mission-complete basis.

Well, this label
is too expensive for this

to be a shrinkage disaster,
so it must be evolution.

I look to the future
with new hope.

They may keep the girl
off the beach..

...but she's going
to get her suntan.

Well, this ain't
going to slow down

the population explosion,
I'll tell you that.

I'll need
a transmission unit, Maggie.

Hmm. The Washington,
DC area, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Take this
improved A3 model.

Attach it to any
electrical wiring system

whenever you
want to talk to me.

It has a 300-mile range.

Mm-hmm.

What have you got for me?

Oh, not very much.

(Margaret)
'This just came in.'

The arrival of
the Western Natumba delegation.

Those three men
lead the guerrilla warfare

in the jungles of their country
for seven years.

Last month, they
achieved independence.

[projector clicks]

'Ashumen is premier.'

'Nobuk, minister of war.'

'Soumarin, economics minister.'

Andrew Vulcan keeps himself
a very private person.

'That's his plant in Maryland.'

'And watch out
for the private army.'

'They aren't afraid
to use those things.'

How does he justify them?

(Margaret)
'They do
some secret defense work.'

Well..

...that's the lot.

Plus what you can dig
out of that file.

Well, thank you,
my little agent provocateur.

Good luck.

Oh, um, turn over often,
I like mine

medium rare, both sides.

[bell buzzing]

Ruttenberg College
yearbook 1949.

- Correct?
- 'Thank you.'

They have the autopsy report
on the prisoners

who died this morning.

Let me guess.

The autopsy showed
they swallowed something..

...before the attack.

Capsules that dissolved
hours later

releasing poison
into their systems.

Whether they
succeed or fail

they were dead men.

WASP probably told them that
it was some sort of stimulant

something
to quicken their reflexes.

Who's in the year book?

Well, I'm not sure yet.

This is a newspaper clipping

dated 1949 with a picture
of a sorority picnic.

"Sorority?"

Yes, it's a club for girls.

Now, there's a blow-up
of the the young man

at the picnic,
obviously Vulcan.

He is listed as graduating
with a degree in engineering.

In the group, he appears
to have his arm around a girl.

Exactly, but we
don't know her name.

She's the one you use?

Vulcan apparently has wrapped
himself in a protective cocoon.

No friends, no women who seem
to mean anything to him.

Unapproachable.

But a dozen years ago, judging
by that picture, he had a girl.

Oh.

[chuckles]

Here she is again.

(Solo)
'"Elaine May Bender
of Middleton, New York."'

Well, I just don't understand.

Nor do I, Elaine.

All I can tell you is that

I had a call
from my bishop.

[bell ringing]

Excuse me.

Yes, uh, my name
is, uh, Solo.

Reverend Anderson,
you've had time

to, uh, talk
to Mrs. Donaldson I believe.

- Talk, yes. Uh, understand, no.
- Oh, the carpool. Excuse me.

- Oh, Danny?
- I washed. Bye.

- Wait..
- He did not.

- 'Bye..'
- Florie, oh..

- I'm sorry.
- Ahem.

All, uh, all I can
say to you is

that the bishop asked me
to vouch for Mr. Solo.

In all conscience,
the best I can do

is vouch...for the bishop.

Goodbye, Elaine.

Oh, goodbye.

My superior
is a very close friend

of your reverend's bishop.

I thought this,
uh, introduction

might save you many,
uh, doubts.

Doubts?
About what, Mr. Solo?

There's a flight from Middleton
to Washington, DC

leaving tonight at 11:15.

I want you
to take that flight..

...with me.

Well, I have to do my hair.

My husband and I are
going out this evening.

Oh, this room is a mess.

What the devil sort
of proposition is that?

Your maiden name was Bender.

In 1949, you were a freshman
at Ruttenberg College.

'And you were,
I believe, the expression'

is "going steady"
with a boy named Andrew Vulcan.

- Remember?
- Andy?

Well, of course.

Why, I haven't
seen him since then.

- What of it?
- Why didn't you marry him?

Well, I don't know, I, I..

I guess I just didn't
want to marry anybody then.

And besides,
Andy was so serious.

And a little strange too.

He has funny values,
I mean, we were all ambitious

but...he always
wanted more somehow.

Anyway, we broke up
just before he graduated

and I haven't
seen him since then

except in the newspapers.

Yes, uh, he heads a corporation
started for him by WASP.

Oh.

Who's WASP?

We don't know.

WASP might
be a man or a woman

'or a committee
that heads a secret'

international organization,
very powerful

and very wealthy.

WASP has no allegiance
to any country

nor to any ideal.

'It willembark
upon any undertaking'

it may decide
is in its own interest.

And where WASP succeeds

many, many people
pay a terrible price.

Oh.

A-and you,
uh, w-what do you do?

I'm an agent
for an organization

designated
as the U-N-C-L-E.

"U-N?" Oh, UNCLE.

Oh.

You know, I've heard
of that I think

I've read
about that somewhere.

'Now your group wants
to stop this, this WASP?'

Along with others.

Let's say that UNCLE
is set up for the protection

of many people
all over the world.

Oh.

Well, what's all
that got to do with me?

I mean, I'm just a housewife
with two children.

And a husband,
don't forget him.

Well, I assure you
that although you must not

tell your husband
about this matter..

...he will insist that
you take that plane tonight.

What?

I have very little time

to prevent
the assassination

of the leader
of a new nation.

Now, we can place people
all around Vulcan

but they couldn't get through
to him the way you could.

Only you
might get close enough

quickly enough
to be of any help.

Well, I couldn't.

It's preposterous.

No. I won't
even consider it.

[instrumental music]

Now, uh, whatever happened
to red lipsticks?

You know, this
is a fraud against men.

Why? Under the new lipsticks
are the same old lips.

Well, that's a comfort.

Now, let's get
down to business.

Did, uh,
your husband insist?

Yes, he did.

Really, getting me appointed
special delegate

to the National Parents
Conference in Washington.

Well, conveniently,
the original delegate

became ill.

I swear, I don't know
what I'm doing here.

As of now..

...you are Elaine Van Every

of Northridge, Oklahoma.

Well, what's wrong
with being just me?

Well, because
it will help if you're

a little more
important than you.

(Solo)
You see, Elaine Bender
made a brilliant marriage.

You're a very
wealthy woman now.

A widow. Oil wells.

Now, all of the identification
you're going to need is in here.

You can, uh, transfer
your personal things into this.

And when you turn in
your checks at the airport

you'll get new luggage.

Here are, uh, airline tickets
round-trip from Oklahoma City.

Here's picture of your home,
with the detailed layout

of the interior.

Here's some
list of your friends

your neighbors,
and your relatives

list of your holdings,
bank accounts, etc.

Oh, I'm sorry, um..

...you're going to have
to give me your ring.

Why?

Well, because Elaine Van Every

would wear
much more expensive ones.

Don't worry,
I'll take good care of yours.

I want you to start
memorizing that stuff

because I'm going to give you
a very extensive test

on it's contents
before we land.

Thank you, professor.

Oh, when do I take
my final exam?

'In Washington..'

...when you meet Vulcan.

[intense music]

I think there must be something
to this mental telepathy.

'Don't you?'

'For 60 seconds,
I've been sending you'

a message to wake up, I have

your breakfast
in the other room.

Look, I don't mind you
climbing into my brain

but will you please
get out of my bedroom?

Oh, um, French toast
must be eaten while hot.

And I'm sorry to be using
your cup but the lovely ladies

at the conference
might have strong feelings

about a delegate ordering
two breakfast settings

in her bedroom.

Just orange juice
for me, please.

That's all I ever have
for breakfast.

'You always eat a very large
breakfast, Mrs. Van Every'

'and quite sensibly too.'

Yes. Well, I'll bet she's fat.

Adults overeat
in this country.

Now, Danny and Florie,
they're my children

they'll eat anything
that doesn't..

...move.

(Elaine)
Oh..

[laughing]

What is all this for?

Vulcan is having
a large party this evening

at his estate
near Arlington.

As of 8 o'clock last night,
you were on the guest list.

A lot of important people
are going to be there.

The party from Western Natumba,
for instance.

Hey, it's all real,
isn't it?

Why not?
You're rich.

[chuckles]

I recommend the, uh,
third dress from the left.

It's been worn
once before..

...at a presidential soiree.

You'd be very flattered
to know who wore it.

Oh, it's beautiful,
but it's all black.

Black has never been
a good color for me.

- It hasn't?
- Mm-mm.

That's right, I'm supposed
to be in mourning, aren't I?

- I forgot.
- Well, you mustn't forget.

I've told you about the
organization we're dealing with.

(Solo)
They kill people
the waypeople kill flies.

A careless flick
of the wrist.

A reflex action.

Now, I'll protect you
in every way possible

but in the end,
your safety depends on you.

So don't forget
who you are or what you are.

I won't forget again.

Alright.

And the premier is
to inspect the plant tomorrow

so that gives us
only a few hours

to stop the assassination.

What am I supposed
to do at this party?

Just be there.

Let Vulcan
make the approaches.

- Will you be there?
- I'll be just another guest.

At the party

you are to treat me
as a stranger.

Well, what if I learn something
from Andy, I mean, Vulcan?

Well, if anything there
puzzles you

or seems urgent,
signal me.

'Now a hairdresser
will be here at 5 o'clock.'

'I've checked out
everyone on this floor'

they're all tourists,
so it's safe to stay

in your room until 9:00.

Then, you go down
to the west entrance.

A chauffeur and a limousine
will be waiting there for you.

You don't overlook
anything, do you?

I'd better not.

[instrumental music]

[chuckling]

Elaine May Bender.

Elaine May Donaldson.

Elaine May Van Every.

[chuckling
Well, look at you.

[intense music]

[indistinct chattering]

[instrumental music]

Thank you.

Good evening,
I'm Gracie Ladovan.

(Gracie)
Acting as hostess
for Mr. Vulcan this evening.

And you must be?

Uh, Mrs. Elaine Van Every.

- A friend of mine..
- Oh, yes.

Oklahoma. Oil, wasn't it?

And you're just in town
for a few days?

Let me introduce you
to a few people.

Oh, Charlie?

Over here.
He's a senator.

[man laughing]

[music continues]

[indistinct chattering]

Here are our friends
from Western Natumba.

The premier,
Mr. Sekue Ashumen.

How do you do?

Minister of war,
General Molte Nobuk.

And the brilliant
minister of economy

Mr. Jean Francis Soumarin.

Elaine?

Is this your first visit
to the States?

Excuse me, won't you?
I must get back.

So many undesirables try
to crash an affair like this.

[laughing]

Well, to answer
your question.

I graduated from
Dover University some years ago.

(Ashumen)
This is my first visit
since then.

The general has never been
out of our country before.

And I have been here,
there and everywhere.

(Soumarin)
'You have a lovely nation.'

But for my temperament

I prefer
the English way of life.

You don't become
an English gentleman

'merely by putting
milk in your tea.'

[laughing]

(Soumarin)
'My friend Molte confuses
manners with morality.'

He could learn a bit
by reading Lord Chesterton.

Oh, I imagine you all have much
more on your minds than manners.

Creating a new nation must be

a terribly
difficult undertaking.

Difficult?

It's an impossible undertaking.

However, you have an admirer.

I never thought
Mr. Vulcan was so shy.

- It is Elaine.
- Andy!

- Elaine Bender..
- Oh.

- ...of all things and people.
- Oh, look at you.

I don't believe it,
in a tuxedo!

You know, there was a time
when I couldn't get him

to wear
even a sports jacket.

Oh, then you're old friends.

Shall we give them a chorus
of the Rutenberg Rally?

Oh, let's spare them that.

Well, I've been
reading about you.

You've done so well
and I'm pleased for you.

And you,
you're married of course.

Well, my husband
died two months ago

in an accident. Uh..

Carl Van Every.

You might have
heard of him.

I am sorry.

[instrumental music]

I'll be in Manhattan
next Thursday.

Where will you be?

In Manhattan.

And, uh, in the book.

Until then.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

No damage friend.
Hazards of war.

[laughing]

[music continues]

I find myself remembering
what it feels like

to be moved
by the look of a woman.

It's a luxury I haven't
permitted myself in many years.

Well, I think
you've missed a lot then.

Have you found whatever
it was you always wanted?

Yes, but now
that I've seen you again..

...I remember
wanting even more.

Go slow, Andy.

There's been a gap
of more than ten years.

You can't
just leap across it.

Well, then, let me back up
and approach again.

In a different manner.

[guests laughing]

[instrumental music]

W-what's the matter?

Oh, nothing, just, uh..

...see some party crashers.

Wouldn't be a Washington party
without them.

Oh, there you are.

I wanted to say goodnight.

It's time I got down
to the plant

to, uh, check the arrangement
for tomorrow's tour.

Thanks for coming, Alfred.

Elaine, this is Mr. Ghist

one of our finest engineers.

- How do you do?
- Pleasure.

Oh, by the way,
did you notice that our..

...friends, UNCLE is here?

(Alfred)
'He's just introducing
himself to our friends.'

(Vulcan)
'Yes, I wanna be sure he doesn't
join us at the plant.'

- 'He'd only spoil things.'
- Well, I'll see to that.

And, uh, on you way out,
would you ask our friend

to be careful
of what he says to his uncle?

I'd like him
to avoid an argument.

I'll do that.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

It's one of those
amusing little family feuds

and I don't want my party
spoiled by a fight.

No, it's such a lovely party.

I like
the Premier Mr. Ashumen.

Yes, I'm gonna build a plant
for him in Western Natumba.

Duplicate of my plant
in Maryland.

That's why they're going
to inspect it tomorrow.

Oh, it's kind
of cold out here.

Have you learned
to dance in school?

I've taken lessons,
but I've had no desire

to use them
until just this moment.

[instrumental music]

Then tell me,
are you having much success

in attracting industry
into your country?

Oh, it's very difficult.

Very difficult indeed.

(Ashumen)
Oh, everyone is sympathetic,
but reluctant to act.

They want
a lot of guarantees.

First, we throw
the colonizers out

'and then we counter them
hat in hand'

'begging them to come back.'

Don't oversimplify,
old boy.

It's one thing
to enter as masters

and quite another
to enter as investors.

It's quite a coup, having
Vulcan's plant in our country.

(Ashumen)
'With the manufacture
of synthetics'

'we'll have the raw materials
base necessary'

'for the structuring
of light industries.'

Well, if the three of you work
for the growth of your nation

as well as you've fought
for it's independence

I'm certain
you will succeed.

We will work
together, Mr. Solo.

Where the needs
of our people are concerned..

...we are brothers.

Well, good luck then.

Excuse me.

No, no, no, you see,
you're, you're pushing

when you should be guiding.

Excuse me.

You see, it's,
just in here, yes.

It's all in the right hand,
like as, flat, palms spread

right beneath your partner's
right shoulder blade.

Arm rigid and then
when you turn, she follows.

Thus.

Oh, by the way..

...I'm cutting in.

Laugh, I just said
something hilarious.

[laughing]

Now you did
want to tell me something.

Vulcan knows
you're with UNCLE.

He told someone here to keep
you away from the plant.

Well, they are
well informed, aren't they?

With, uh, whom
did he discuss this?

Oh, an Englishman.

His name was Alfred Ghist.

They must know
all about us.

That woman over there,
the hostess

'she was
on the plane with us.'

Remember all that business
about the lips?

For years,
I've been telling Gracie

to cut down
on her makeup.

We arranged for her
to get the job with Vulcan.

Job of limited use to us,
I'm afraid.

Um, who is
this Alfred Ghist?

Oh, he, uh..

He's over there, talking to
the Western Natumba delegation.

'He's one
of Vulcan's engineers.'

And he indicated that
he was to warn someone else here

to be careful of what
they said to you.

Did you notice who Alfred
spoke to after he left you?

Oh, he didn't talk to anyone.
Until just now.

Oh, I see. Well, I want
you to do something for me.

I want you to squeeze
a drop or two of this

into the premier's drink,
but don't get caught.

What will it do?

Well, it'll probably
save his life.

[both laughing]

[guests clapping]

Thank you.

You are
a beautiful dancer.

I know.

You see?

Nothing to it, old boy.

What a charming man.

At least, he thinks so.

[instrumental music]

[beeping]

Channel D is open.

I have a report
for number one of section one.

Acknowledge reception, please.

Report for number one
of section one.

WASP has me spotted, it's
possible, correction, probable

that a member of the Western
Natumba delegation is with WASP.

Under the circumstances,
I've taken steps

to prevent assassination attempt
tomorrow.

Will confirm if successful.

[knock on door]

Acknowledge reception, please
and turn off

that sun lamp
before you boil over.

Acknowledged,
and don't worry

I'll keep cool
till you get back.

After all, there's
a locked steel door

between me
and the outside world.

Why don't you wait
until Thursday, darling

you won't have
to break down the door?

[indistinct chattering]

(Soumarin)
Clear the way.
Let us through here, please.

Let us through,
let us through.

Please, please, friends.
Don't fuss.

I warned you.
You drive yourself too hard!

Has someone
called the doctor?

(male #3)
'Doctor's on his way.'

I'll get
your car, sir.

[intense music]

[beeping]

Channel D's open.

Report for number one of section
one. Acknowledge, please.

Report for number one,
section one.

Can confirm that premier
will not be in condition

to visit
Vulcan's plant tomorrow

therefore assassination attempt
temporarily delayed.

Repeat, temporarily delayed.
Acknowledge, please.

Acknowledged.

Where are you now?

I'm driving
along an open country road

enjoying a cool breeze.

Don't you wish
you were here?

Well, are you alone?

Drink your milk.

I will.

My name is, uh,
Napoleon Solo.

I hope, uh,
you don't mind filters.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Light me, please.

What are you smiling at?

Because a funny thing
happened to me

on the way to my hotel.

You.

Don't shoot me.

It would take
all the fun out of the evening.

If I wanted to kill you,
I would have done it before.

Mm-hmm, well, we were driving
then, you would've gotten hurt

now, we're standing still.

Well, where would I be
carrying a weapon?

It could be done.

If you have any doubts,
you better search me.

[crickets chirping]

Well, am I hiding anything?

No, I can't honestly say
that you are.

Which brings me
to the question, uh

what is a nice girl like you

doing in a place like that?

Lancer wants to see you.

- Oh.
- I know.

You thought he was dead.

He has been wounded and he needs
your help to get away.

Well, how did he know
I was here?

The receiver on his pocket radio
is still working.

He can hear,
but he can't send.

He has been listening
to all your calls.

Where is he?

On the move,
he hasn't dared to stop.

But he'll meet us
at my place.

I know what you're thinking.

That I could be one of them.

(Angela)
That this could be a trap.

Well, I can't prove
that it isn't

or that I am
Lancer's friend.

'But I tell you,
he needs you..'

'...desperately.'

You can believe me or not.

Well..

...I'll have
to find out, won't I?

[intense music]

[engine cranking]

[music continues]

Oh, you
move beautifully.

If this were a trap,
you would certainly

be able to kill me
before you went down.

No question about it.

You live all the way
out here all alone?

- On and off.
- You live here on and off?

I live alone on and off.

Oh, and at the moment?

I'm living alone.

What about Lancer?

I haven't quite made up
my mind about him.

In the meantime, I don't invite
gentlemen out here.

Mm-hmm, and here I am.

These are
special circumstances.

Oh, then I'm not
to get any ideas

about your
bringing me here.

I didn't say that.

[crickets chirping]

May I?

That was terribly rude.

Sorry.

Where's Lancer?

Oh, he, he said that we are
to meet him here at midnight.

We are much too early.

May I come along?

I tell you, sitting alone
in the, uh, gloom

makes me a little...nervous.

I would have never
thought it.

It's that way.

After you.

You know, I've often felt
that I was born

several centuries too late.

I've always admired
those cavaliers

they used to go slashing their
way down the corridors.

Are you honestly suspicious
or is it me?

Well, I tell you,
I have a nervous grandmother

back home in Topeka, Kansas.

I'm afraid I've
inherited some of her genes.

- Oh, are you from Kansas?
- Of course. Isn't everybody?

Who goes in first
this time?

Who do you want
to go in first?

- You.
- Of course.

I tell you, old granny,
she was really unbelievable.

She used to make
everybody so uncomfortable.

She was always stalking around,
and peering into corners..

[chuckling]

...locking doors,
making sure

that no one would
steal in behind her.

And would you
believe it?

Every night before granny
went to sleep

she used to slash away
underneath her bed

with a poker..

...looking for prowlers.

Was she ever lucky enough
to find one?

No, no. That was granny's
constant frustration.

But she
never quit looking.

[clears throat]

And I imagine that every time
she entered a room..

...she would look through
the closet just to make sure

nobody was hiding there.

Well, of course not. Now, who'd
do a crazy thing like that?

I think you misunderstood
your grandmother's problem.

Probably she was
merely looking for someone

to help her
with a difficult zipper.

Would you?

Well, now, that's not a great
problem, that opens very easily.

You've been practicing.

Now, what would you
like me to change into?

Oh, uh, anything,
but a boy.

- What?
- Never mind.

Some good work here.

Yours?

I manage to make
a living at it.

Someday, I will have
to make a study of you..

...nude

Is that right?

Lancer's, uh,
taking his time.

Yes, isn't that
lovely of him?

You are sure he's coming?

Oh, he'll be here.
I promise you.

[exhales]

[intense music]

Perhaps he's having trouble
finding the place.

Oh, I doubt it.
Why should he?

He's never been here,
you said.

I gave him
very specific directions.

He'll have no trouble.

- No trouble?
- No.

I don't miss him
right now.

Do you?

Well, I'd say,
I don't have many virtues..

...but patience
doesn't rank at all.

I don't like
to be kept waiting.

You sound so cold now.

Well, as you said
when I came in the house..

...I'm a rude man.

You weren't rude
a few minutes ago.

As a matter of fact, you were..

...beautiful.

And I enjoyed you
in return.

So, uh, we're even.

We don't owe each other
anything, do we?

I agree.

You don't have
to wait any longer.

There is Lancer.

[instrumental music]

Why doesn't he come in?

Because he doesn't know
for sure that you are here.

Call to him.

[intense music]

You call to him.

But he wants you,
I told you.

He will not come in unless
he knows that you are here.

Well, uh, you
tell him I'm here.

No, I told you, he will not come
unless you call him.

[music continues]

[gunshots]

[Angela screaming]

[doorknob rattling]

(male #4)
'Angela, open the door.'

'Anything wrong?'

[doorknob rattling]

[gunshots]

[intense music]

[music continues]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[dramatic music]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

- I'll get our car.
- You'd never catch him.

Doesn't make
any difference anyhow.

Better clean up that mess
back at the house.

- I gotta report to Mr. Vulcan--
- But Vulcan ordered us--

I tampered with our friends car
before going up to the house.

Just as a precaution.

When that speedometer hits
50 miles an hour it's gonna

contact a thin little wire..

...and our UNCLE
is gonna go sleepy bye forever.

[dramatic music]

You got a half an hour
to freshen up.

Then I'm coming back for you.

Oh, I wouldn't feel right
going on to a night club

with Mr. Ashumen
being taken ill like that.

Believe me, I wouldn't
dream of leaving his side

if it was anything serious,
the doctor told me

it was just a minor upset.

He's said the premier
would awaken soon

and then he'll have to stay
in bed and rest for 24 hours.

Well, I must get
some sleep too.

I have to get up
early in the morning.

Elaine..

...I want
all of your time.

Don't squander it
on anybody else.

I cant!
I don't want to.

I, I mean it's all just
too fast. I am not ready--

Elaine, I'm not gonna
lose you again.

Half an hour then.

[gasps]

[intense music]

[sniffles]

You, uh...did that nicely.

This is the, um, A3 model.

The improved model,
you see.

Hmm.

And, uh, this contained
an X .38 automatic

also improved
now at the bottom of the river.

What are you so upset about?
You're doing better than I am.

I don't think
any of this is funny.

You don't?

Having me put those drops
in the premier's drink

without even
telling me they were--

You thought it was poison.

Elaine, those drops
would only make him feel ill

it'll have
no permanent effect.

When he wakes up,
he can go back to the party.

He wouldn't be comfortable,
but he could go back.

Well, I don't care,
if you didn't want him to go out

to that plaque,
you should have told him

that someone was
going to try to kill him.

Ashumen needs
Vulcan to build

a chemical plant
in his country.

He needs it like
food and drink

it's survival to him.

'Right now he thinks that Vulcan
is the greatest man alive'

and I can't do anything
to prove different.

I can't tell how they mean
to kill him or even why.

But those drops bought us
time to find proof.

Now with tomorrow's
inspection postponed--

It hasn't been postponed.

(Elaine)
'It hasn't, I was there,
I heard them.'

Nobuk and Soumarin will
inspect the plant tomorrow.

Andy insisted.

Vulcan insisted?

- Without the premier?
- Yes.

Well, he said it was important.

Now, what's the matter?

Ashumen won't be along,
so it's alright.

No, it's not alright.

There's something
about that plant.

And I've got to find out
what it is tonight.

When Vulcan gets back..

...get him to show you
the plant tonight.

But he wants to take me
to a night club.

And you would rather
see the plant.

Flatter him, admire him
and the empire he's built.

Well, I do admire him
and I don't believe

all those terrible things
you've told me about him.

He just isn't like that.

Elaine, if that blood
you just washed off my face

doesn't impress you,
then I will suggest

that you go down
to the river tomorrow

and watch them fish out
what's left of my car.

Oh, I don't know
what to believe any longer.

And I won't have anything
more to do with all this.

I won't!

You know, you forgot
something, Mr. Solo.

When you said that I might stir
up some old emotions in him..

...you forgot that he might
stir up some old emotions in me.

You're afraid?

Of course, I'm afraid.

You bet, I'm afraid.

[instrumental music]

But not of Vulcan.

She is the one
you're afraid of, isn't you?

Look at how well
she wears the clothes.

And the jewels..

...she mixes
with important people.

She enjoys meeting them.

Excitement of
a Washington party.

But Elaine Donaldson
has no place here.

Has she?

She'll have to go home.

Back to being
an ordinary housewife.

You're afraid,
that when the time comes..

...you won't be
able to walk away

from what you see
in that mirror.

You don't believe that.

[knocking on door]

[Elaine gasps]

Alright, when you
get down to the lobby

ask him to buy you
some cigarettes

stall him there
for 15 minutes.

- No.
- I need 15 minutes!

[knocking continues]

No.

Open the door.

Now.

[Elaine sighs]

Oh!

[knocking continues]

- Ready, darling?
- Yes.

Operator, get me the airport.

Vanguard Air Charter Service.

[intense music]

It's Mr. Vulcan.

(Vulcan)
'Now you must admit,
this is a unique way'

'of entertaining
a beautiful woman.'

I don't mind.

Gives me a chance
to get caught up quickly

on what you've been
up to all these years.

Very well, the tour begins.

(Vulcan)
'Now, there you see two
of our largest reactors.'

'Each one turns out
20,000 pounds an hour.'

Here are our loading platforms.

Daily we ship hundreds of tons
of plastic components

by rail,
to all parts of the country.

'These are our
research, development'

and new products buildings.

[intense music]

In these vats,
are chemicals

used in the new
plastic compounds.

Here, in effect,
is where we store the future.

I'll show you some results
in the new products area.

He's impressive.

(Elaine)
'What's behind that door?'

(Vulcan)
'Oh, that um, that contains'

'a highly complicated reactor'

used in the infusion
of new plastics

under tremendous pressure.

Products are very experimental,
highly unstable.

There's always a danger
of an explosion.

I hate to admit it,
but I'm exhausted.

There's only another three
or four thousand acres to go.

Ah, well, I did ask
for it, didn't I?

I like that.

I like that
you're interested in what I do.

This is of no importance
whatever to me

what's important...is you.

[airplane droning]

Look!

[intense music]

What's he doing?

Get the dogs over there.

And call security.

You wait inside,
I'll be right back.

(Vulcan)
Stay alert. There's
an intruder on the grounds.

Just finished.

There's someone
on the grounds.

Seems quiet
as a grave here.

Lovely night for work.
Here, look.

Just a hairline.

Pretty neat job.

If you're finished,
let's clear out of here

and seal this room off
until tomorrow.

We have to find
our intruder.

[intense music]

[dogs barking]

This is what the parachute
brought down, sir.

A diversion.

Why?

To allow somebody
to get to the reactor.

And I led him to it.

[dogs barking]

[door opens]

This door was sealed off,
when we left.

(Vulcan)
But I want it double checked.

For any place where
an intruder could hide.

Any place!

[dogs whimpering]

Mr. Vulcan wants you.

Hey!

[gunshots]

[dramatic music]

Stop him!

[gunshots]

Be careful of your target!

The place is loaded
with hydrogen!

You'll blow us all up!

[dogs barking]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[dramatic music]

[gunshots]

[dogs barking]

[music continues]

[dogs barking]

[barking continues]

[gunshots]

(Elaine)
Come on!

This way, quick!

Oh!

[dramatic music]

[panting]

[intense music]

Alright, when we
get to that car

get down on
the floor in the back

I may have to crash
through the gate.

Alright.

[intense music]

[Elaine gasps]

Pardon me for not
getting out of the car.

Whatever it was you gave me

has left me still
feeling a bit weak.

- We only meant to help you!
- What are you doing here?

It was only as I fainted
that I realized that it was..

...you who had
handed me my drink.

'When I awoke and was told
that my good friend Mr. Vulcan'

had brought you here tonight..

...well, I hastened
to warn him immediately.

But you don't understand,
they mean to kill you!

[intense music]

I think we all
understand now.

Too late, I believe, Mr. Solo.

You see, no one
intends to kill me.

It's Soumarin and Nobuk
who have to die.

[intense music]

Were there signs
of any others?

No!

Just these two.

[thwacks]

Hold it!

I prefer Mr. Solo
without bullet holes in him.

(Ashumen)
'Why should it matter?'

(Vulcan)
'For several reasons.'

First one being..

...that they would
die too quickly.

Follow him.

Well, I'm sure you'll find this

a lovely place
to spend the night.

'Uh, and it's, uh, soundproof.'

Uh, come over here,
Mr. Solo, you're about to be

chained to a pipe.

Now, up you go.

You know, this comfort
will last approximately

an hour and forty
five minutes.

When we leave, the room
will fill with steam.

Death will come
rather slowly.

But then, uh, you're
a patient man, Mr. Solo.

And you must have been
patient, Mr. Ashumen

to have posed
as the patriot all those years

while you set your country
up for WASP to take over.

WASP is my country.

Ah!

Well, so WASP achieves
respectability.

Congratulations,
Mr. Vulcan.

With WASP, the government..

...and with all
privileges attendant

'diplomatic immunity,
industrial potential'

armed forces at our disposal

we achieve a great deal more
thanrespectability,Mr. Solo.

But Nobuk and Soumarin,
they would oppose it.

They are two dedicated..

...intensely patriotic men

who will emerge as martyrs.

Victims of
an unfortunate accident

while negotiating ways to better

the lot of our people.

'I will erect statues
to their martyrdom.'

Mourn their loss.

Rule...in their names.

Oh!

The explosion should take place
at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

'You will return here
and arrange for their bodies'

'to be discovered
in the fire which follows.'

You'd best leave
through the tunnel.

I am sorry
for you, madame.

[hissing]

Goodnight, chums.

[dramatic music]

Sorry.

Oh, you were very clear
about the risks involved.

I understood them,
and I accepted them.

No, you mustn't
blame yourself.

Well, of course,
I don't blame myself.

It had to be done.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[intense music]

[music continues]

[hissing continues]

[thumping]

[thumping continues]

[music continues]

Stop it!

[thumps]

I've got to break
this sealing compound..

...to get us down from here.

[grunting]

[grunts]

[hissing]

Look.

'Look!'

[music continues]

[thumping]

[intense music]

[Elaine screams]

[both grunting]

[Elaine gasps]

Oh.

[both panting]

[sniffles]

[crying]

They never saw me.

Danny and Florie they..

...they never saw me.

My husband.

They always saw
me so ordinary.

Always clean up
and pick up

and run the carpool..

[sniffles]

But you saw.

[crying]
When...when I
walked into that room

everybody looked, didn't they?

I mean, they all looked at me
and they, they admired me

all those glamorous people.
Didn't they?

You were the most
beautiful woman there.

[sobbing]
Oh, now look at me!

Look at this dress..

...and my hair.

Oh, it's all ruined now!

And they never saw me.

My family never saw me.

[crying]

Oh!

[clears throat]
You dropped this.

Oh, thank you.

[laughing]

[both laughing]

[watch ticking]

They'll be here
any minute.

[water gurgling]

Sure you're gonna be able
to hold yourself up there?

- I'll manage.
- Alright.

This way, gentlemen,
we'll take a closer look.

Now, whoever comes in first,
they'll see you hanging there.

That may give me just
the moment I'll need.

Now, gentlemen, I think
you'll find this interesting.

I'm gonna put the reactor

through a typical
pressure cycle.

[dramatic music]

[clanks]

[hissing]

[music continues]

[intense music]

[keys jingling]

- Get out of here, quick!
- But what about you?

- I'm going up there, go on.
- Oh.

[whirring]

[intense music]

Hurry, get out
of here, everybody.

This thing
is going to explode!

(Solo)
Come on, move out!

[screaming]

[hissing]

[man screaming]

[explosion]

Alright, let's
get out of here!

[explosion]

[coughs]

Ashumen! Did he get out?

Ashumen!

[explosion]

[Elaine coughing]

[intense music]

[coughing continues]

[explosion]

[instrumental music]

[coughing]

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

Oh, yes.

Here, thank you.

No regrets about
Mrs. Van Every?

No regrets.

Maybe, um...just one?

There's a gala ball at
the United Nations next week.

This is an invitation
for you and your family.

'There's a suite reserved
for you at the Waldorf'

an exquisite gown, not black,
will be waiting for you

and the loan on the jewelry,
and a hairdresser.

Well, you did say that
you wanted your family

to see you the way
you looked last night.

Thank you. But no.

No, I had my big moment.

'Last night when I was..'

...well, maybe something
I always dreamed I might be..

...but it was a dream, a memory.

It has no right
to be anything else.

I'm content
to go home right now.

A mother would never come home
from a trip without presents.

This is a doll.

And a build-it-yourself radio.

And for him, a sweater.

It's his size,
I absolutely guarantee it.

Thank you. You do
think of everything.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Aren't you getting
off, Mr. Solo?

Hmm? Mm-mm.

'There'll be
an hour delay before'

'we return to New York.'

'You could stretch your legs.'

[chuckles]
No. Thank you.

Would you like some coffee?

- No, no, no.
- 'Something to eat?'

Mmh.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

Um..

Well, uh...as a matter of fact..

[instrumental music]

[music continues]
