All language subtitles for The Invisible Man (1975) S01e12 An Attempt To Save Face

- Nurse. I'm Dr. Maggio. I was told...
- Dr. Maggio?

- Yes, yes, I was told...
- Yes, we know.

- Do you mind?
- Oh, if it's necessary.

May I see a credential?

Follow me.

Comrade Chairman? the physician
you sent for is here, Dr. Maggio.

Good, leave us alone.

Dr. Maggio?

Do you know who I am?

Of course, even your
shadow is world famous.

Chairman Rojin, of the
Eastern Block Alliance.

I'm grateful to you,
Dr. Maggio.

Even though our countries aren't
always in the best of terms.

I appreciate your prompt response.
Please be seated.

- Who is it?
- Walter.

- Hi Kate.
- Hi.

Dan?

Uh, just a minute Walter, I've got an
invisible piglet I don't want to lose him.

Ah, there.
I'll put some things on.

- What is it?
- This just came in on the teletype.

I thought you
should both see it.

- It's from Nick.
- He's at the Klutner Clinic in Chicago.

Requires surgical assistance
from Dr. Dan Westin

and nurse Kate Westin,
immediately.

Nurse? Third floor
Klutner Clinic, hurry.

This is a most delicate operation.
Signed Doctor Nick Maggio.

Surgical assistant?
I can't slice a pumpernickel.

I wonder what he wants.

I checked that clinic, it's a highly

experimental clinic small,
but very prestigious.

Think he's in trouble?

Well, he wouldn't have
wired us if he wasn't.

Oh, no, no, no.

Listen Walter, what little visibility
I have I owe to Nick Maggio.

He invented dermaplex, remember?

It wasn't for all these masks I'd
be running around without a head.

Besides he's the only other person who
knows the secret of the Clay Resource.

Your corporate interest
might be at stake.

Listen, if he's in trouble,

we're his friends.
We've got to help him.

All right.

Do what you can to help him,

but you'll have to go without me,
my desk is pile sky high.

Thanks Walter.

Oh, we'll, uh, we'll need
some credentials and things,

can you help us?

Well, let's just say
I owe you one.

I'm sorry sir,
no admittance.

Uh, we were told to
report to the third floor.

Oh, perhaps the convalescent
ward, this corridor is private.

I don't think so. My name is
Dr. Westin and this nurse is my wife.

We're here to assist Dr. Maggio.

More American doctors?

Yes, we, uh, we received a
telegram from Dr. Maggio.

Oh, yes, these are the people he
sent for to aid him with the surgery.

Take them to Maggio and
see that they stay there.

I will be with him if
you need me, excuse me.

You will have to submit to
a routine security search.

- Do you object?
- Yes, but, who was that?

We'll make it informal.

That was Dr. Storoff,
his personal physician.

I prefer formal.

Whose personal physician?

This way, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your Dr. Maggio is in that room.

- Nick?
- Nick!

Hey, what's going on?

You said something about getting
together soon but in Chicago?

Nick, you all right?

Dr. Westin, Nurse Westin,
so glad you could get here.

How was your flight?

I want to brief you on some special
surgical procedure, please, sit down.

Thanks for coming.

Believe me, Chicago wasn't
my first choice either.

How are you two?
It's been a long time.

Fine.
Hey, you're looking great.

What do you think of my outfit?

- Uh, where'd you get it?
- Walter, cute, huh?

It's divine.

What's wrong, Nick?

I assume you haven't brought
us all this way for nothing.

Dan, I don't know.
I may be paranoid.

I think this may be the most important
thing I've ever done in my life.

And I've got this feeling
in the pit of my stomach.

You said something about
special surgical procedures? Us?

I think I'm gonna
need you to help me.

To do what? Earlier today
I got this urgent message.

I couldn't believe the
signature until I

got here and saw
him with my own eyes.

My presence in your country
is an absolute secret.

I took a grave
risk to come here.

Imagine the uproar in the
newspapers, on television.

Doesn't your entourage
give you away?

Yeah, here on diplomatic passports
from one of our satellite countries.

Assume names, not even your secret
service knows that I'm here.

But the clinic does know that it
has a very important patient.

Oh, yes. But they don't
know who or why?

They think I'm a foreign industrialist
here for a hush-hush operation.

But why come to America?

Certainly your country has excellent
state hospitals, the finest physicians.

Not for what I need.

In my country the operation
I'd require does not exist.

Well, I can understand a heart
transplant, uh, even a radical bypass.

- But then you wouldn't have called me?
- No, doctor Maggio.

And I've been through a lot of trouble
falsifying your credentials to get you here.

But why?

My country does not permit our leaders not
even the premier to become too popular.

A likable individual like myself can
easily become an object of worship.

More powerful than the party.

It's called the cult of the personality.

And It's absolutely forbidden.

However it is necessary
to be extremely popular,

in order to stay in power.

I believe in the cult of my personality.

But why in operation? How can
an operation make you popular?

But look at me,
I'm getting old.

The dictators all over the world
the wrinkled sagging old man.

You have an expression:
Over the mountain.

- I think that's, uh, "over the hill".
- It feels like a mountain.

Inside I'm still young.

Full of vigor, but those bags under
my eyes the wrinkles, the jowls.

That's why I traveled
thousands of miles

to consult the world's
greatest plastic surgeon.

- You want me to give you...
- A facelift.

- A facelift? Chairman Rojin?
- I couldn't believe it.

Why?

Well, he said it wasn't vanity
that was making him do it.

That it was vitally important
to the welfare of his people.

Something to do with young military
groups trying to get him out of office.

They say I'm too old.
I'm getting senile.

They're spreading rumors and
I must stop them.

Well, I can see what's in it for you.

But why should I perform an operation on
a dictator just to prolong his power?

Do you have to call me that way?

Well, dictator that's
precisely what you are.

Why don't you add
at least benevolent.

That still doesn't give me any
reason for performing the operation.

I'm America's best friend in my country.

He values my grip. You can say goodbye
to friendship between our country.

And perhaps the world peace.

Dr. Maggio, please name your price.

All right.

Increase your contribution to the U.N.

Stop shipping arms to the near east.

And free your
political prisoners.

- Now, wait a minute.
- Take it or leave it.

All right.

What's wrong?
I said that I do it.

I know, Mr. chairman,
but I'm gonna need some help.

What kind of help?

There are two specialists
in California.

I need them to do the operation.

Well, if it's absolutely necessary.

But they must not know who I am
or what they are to do prior to arrival.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

And I must come out at least
looking 20 years young.

- 10.
- 15.

12. All right 10.

It's a deal.

I arranged for him to have
a good night's sleep.

And then I arranged for surgery
for the first thing in the morning.

Then, what's the trouble?

I had just given him a pre-op
tranquilizer when she came in.

- Who?
- Dr. Storoff.

Well that should help
you get some rest.

Sasha.
Why did you lie to me?

I have a right to know.

Katrina what
you doing here?

The question is what
are you doing here?

If it had not been for your travel officer,
I would never have found you.

I don't think you would understand.

Understand, Sasha?
Is that why you deceived me?

Why you left the country
without a trace?

No one would tell me
where you were.

And now I find you in
an American hospital.

And they talk of a
ridiculous operation.

A sinus transplant?

I'm sorry Katrina.

Who is this?

What is he doing here?

What have you given him?

- Are you his wife?
- I am his personal physician.

Dr. Storoff.

Well, Dr. Storoff. I gave him
three grains of pentobarbital.

Pentobarbital?
What for?

And do not give me lies
about a sinus transplant.

What is he doing here?

I don't think he wants
anyone to find out.

- Who are you?
- Dr. Nick Maggio.

In five hours he will be
coming out of this, Dr. Maggio.

Then we shall see
what he has to say.

Kurt, Serguei.

Take the doctor to a waiting room,
and see that he does not leave.

Just let me get my bag.

I'll come with you.
Doctor.

No one must enter this
room without my permission.

And here I've been for
almost five hours now.

They won't let me out.

A sinus transplant?

Well, that's the official story.
It's the clinic's specialty.

Why don't you just tell
her why you're here?

I can't.

I swore to him that I
wouldn't tell another soul.

Look if they're getting sticky
about this whole thing,

why don't you just wash
your hands and walk out.

Dan could create a diversion.

No! I promised to
Rojin that I would

perform the operation
and I'm gonna do it.

What if he's right? What if it
is necessary to world peace?

It's a rare opportunity,
Dr. Maggio.

I think the old boy deserves a lift.

- Then you'll help me?
- This Lenin square red?

Has Rudolph's nose.

Now the first thing on
the agenda is to find out

what Storoff intends to
do with us and Rojin.

How do we do that?

Well, I, uh, I suggest
a little reconnaissance.

Nothing still out there.

It's alright there's
no one coming here.

The ultimate spy.

You are absolutely
certain of his registry?

Dr. Nick Maggio?

"G-G-I-O".

Thank you.

Wake up Faci, wake up Sasha.

What's the matter? What are
you doing here Katrina?

Why did you not tell me
you were leaving?

You would never let me.
You would have said no.

Dr. Nick Maggio. I know
that he is a plastic surgeon.

- How did you find that?
- The medical registry.

- What is he going to do?
- A facelift.

I thought we had talked
about that we decided.

I've made up my mind to do it.

- Oh, Sasha, you cannot be serious.
- Never more so.

It is counter-revolutionary.
Capitalistic vanity.

You will be ridiculed the
loving stock of our country.

- I'm doing it for my country.
- It is political suicide.

No, Katarina you are my doctor
not a political analyst.

The military factions who
want to get rid of me.

They're spreading
rumors that I'm seeing

and then I'm not fit
to be head of state.

That is ridiculous. Your mind is as
sharp as it was when you were 30.

Yeah, you know that.
But with the other people

who see my own
face in the newspapers.

Your old face is the most handsome,
most respected in the world.

I love that face,
please do not change it.

I'm sorry, Katrina.

Sasha, please look around you,
this is an American hospital.

You have less than one eighth
of your secret service with you.

No one knows who you are, where
you are, what you are doing.

Who can you trust?
It is insanity.

I'm safe because
no one knows.

Anyway I've Vasil and Kolchak,
my two most trusted man.

- They know about the facelift?
- No.

But they will protect me with
their lives. I can trust them.

You can trust no one.

Forgive me darling, this
is for your own good.

I must take you home,
to a safe place.

Please tell major Kolchak and
Vasil I need to see them at once.

The Chairman's plane must
be made ready to take off.

He's taken seriously ill and we must

leave for home as
soon as possible.

- Dan?
- Where's my mask?

- What's the good news?
- It's not.

Storoff knows about the facelift.

She's making arrangements to
have Rojin flown out tonight.

Before you can touch him.

If we're gonna do anything we
better hurry. Where my things?

What is the meaning of this, doctor?

I was given strict instructions
by the Chairman himself he is

not to leave this hospital until
the operation is performed.

I am sorry, comrade.
That is now impossible.

The Chairman has taken ill,
he must return

to our country and to be hospitalized.

That is ridiculous. This is a
hospital, take care of him here.

With all due respects, major,

you are the chairman's aide,
Vasil's security chief,

but I am the chairman's
personal physician.

And I am autonomous in all
matters concerning his health.

You had better hurry with your
arrangements, we have not much time.

What now?

We'll just have to make our
move earlier than anticipated.

The Chairman must die. Here,
tonight, in the American hospital.

It must look like the
capitalist's fault.

Come.

I can't operate on him while they're
flying them out of the country.

That's it, Chairman Rojin
can be in two places at once.

- How?
- That is...

Do you have your
dermaplex with you?

Of course...
Of course!

It's so simple, it's ridiculous.
All we need is a diversion.

Would there be any cylinders of
anesthetic on this floor somewhere?

I suppose so, but what
would you need it for?

Well, if I were to open
the valve near the guards,

You could put them to sleep.

In the hallway? Forget.
It not powerful enough.

That was an interesting idea.

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

I keep forgetting that I'm
at the Klumpner clinic.

On the second floor there's a testing
ground for experimental anesthetics.

What kind would I look for?

- Sodium phenyl pentothal 10.
- Sodium phenyl pentothal 10.

When you mix it with oxygen,
look out.

Operating room B
and half an hour, thanks.

Oh, and please, make sure
that the anesthesiologist

doesn't leave in case
we're a little late.

Thanks.

- Dan?
- Nick open the window.

Where are my pants?

You've been having trouble finding
those lately, haven't you sweetheart?

What's going on out there?

The hallway's filling with
sodium phenyl pentothal 10.

Better watch it, you might
get sued for malpractice.

Good, grab your bag and
come over by the door.

Hey Kate,
get the rest of my clothes.

Chairman is never gonna
fit into your clothes, Dan.

Well is there anything
else in the cupboard?

That's too small.

- 44?
- Perfect.

- What are we waiting for?
- Shh., the guard.

- What was that?
- The guard.

All right, take a deep
breath and don't pad

it out until you get
to the Chairman's room.

All right, let's go.

Come on, hurry up!

- Dan, are you in here?
- Over here.

I get some fresh air for the Chairman,
don't want him to o.d. on the gas.

Nor us for that matter.
I'll listen at the door.

Good old dermaplex.
But it's an advanced formula.

It dries in one tenth of time the
compound that I used in your mask.

This pigment won't match
perfectly, but it's close enough.

It only has to fool him until
you complete the operation.

If it's too good I might end up
with a free trip to Eastern Europe.

I hope this comes off as
easily as it did on you.

- Dan?
- What?

When should we
start dressing them.

We better start now. Something tells
me they're going to be a tight fit.

Dan, the elevator.

They're gone.

- It's their security.
- Lock the door.

Put these on him.

Forget the mask,
we haven't got time.

Here, finish putting this on.

- I'll get my mask.
- I'll get the shoes.

Get in the bed, Dan.

What are you gonna do
about the head, he's invisible.

I'll improvise.

Break it down.

You heard me, doctor?
Move away from the Chairman.

Now what are you doing? And why
is his face wrapped in gauze?

Well it's required. It's part of
the pre-op for a sinus transplant.

It's vital to wrap the areas around
the sinuses to soften the tissues.

The epidermal layer of the mucous
membrane must be moisturized.

Did you drug the guards?
It's an offense against the state.

And so too the Chairman.

Well, no one would let us out,
we had to drug them.

Listen, if we operate when
the membranes are dry,

well, you can kiss the
sinuses goodbye.

What is wrong with him?

Oh, oh, uh, he caught some
of the anesthetic in the hall.

It's an allergic reaction.
He'll be out for a while.

Sleep well, Sergey? The Chairman
could have been killed.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah!

Take these three to the waiting room
and hold them for questioning. Now!

Comrades, no more
napping, huh?

They could have killed him.
Do you think they were trying?

No. If I thought they were assassins,
I would let them do their job.

Did you believe that this
is a sinus transplant?

Of course, but after this little
episode of the anesthetic,

it will be very easy to make
our countrymen think otherwise.

The Americans will take full responsibility
for our Chairman's death fast soon.

- Do you have the drug?
- Five cc's of atropine.

I think our Dr. Maggio is going
to be blamed for a slight

miscalculation in the amount of
his pre-operation tranquilizer.

I feel an odd sense of power
standing over this old man, Vasil.

I am about to change
the destiny of the world.

- We will make history.
- Shall we inject him in the neck?

No, the arm will do just fine.

What has been going
on around here?

- Is he all right?
- He's fine, doctor.

The Americans gave us a little
scare with a bottle of anesthetic.

Why is his face wrapped in gauze?

Preparation for the surgery
they said it was vital...

He is not going to
be operated done.

Transportation has been called. The
plane has been made ready to fly.

Should we have the
bandages removed?

No.

There will be a good disguise.

I do not want anything
to happen to him, major.

Vasil, please let what just
happened be a lesson to us.

We must be more careful.

I always knew someday that
Danny would be a great man.

What do you think nick? How does he
look as chairman of the Eastern bloc.

I think it suits him.

But we've got to be in surgery in
five minutes. Have to stall them.

You don't think anything
will happen to Dan, do you?

I mean, they think he's the Chairman.

As long as they don't find out.

Pull it alongside here and
then lift him onto it.

Major, those are the
Chairman cigarettes.

I'm sure he won't mind, doctor.

Oh, please, be careful.

He must be coming out of
the sedation if he felt that.

A sedative.

No he's had enough of that
in the last few hours.

Mr. Chairman drink this.
Sasha please it is just water.

Good, good.

- Is it really water?
- Chloradiazine relaxant.

It has the same
effect as a triple vodka.

Thank you.

The Chairman will be at
ease for the flight home.

Shall we go?

The ambulance is ready?

- What's happen?
- Chairman Rojin?

Sasha?

Sasha come back.

xxxxx

I'm on my way.
Here on my way!

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

The Chairman is not feeling well.
Perhaps he's a little delirious.

Vasil and I will find him.
That corridor is a dead end.

I will come with you.

No, Dr. Storoff this is
a problem of security.

And those matters
I am autonomous.

Relax, doctor, there's no
way that we can lose him.

- Did you see a man in a wheelchair?
- His face was wrapped in gauze.

- That way.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Chairman.

This is impossible.
Where'd he go?

Have take the entire floor apart.
Without his disguise he won't go far.

But Vasil, we will give
something to Dr. Storoff to do.

Because we must make sure that we
find the Chairman before she does.

It's, I, I do apologize
for your inconvenience.

Yes, doctor, yeah! I, I am,
I'm aware of uh the time.

I know that 4 am in
the morning is not the

ideal time for surgery,
but I have no choice.

Can't you just wait there for
us for another 15 minutes?

I don't have a cup of coffee.

Uh, well, then scrub up again.

I'm just asking you to wait
there for another 15 minutes.

Oh, thank you.
I'll be there.

I can't stall the anesthesiologist
forever. Where's Dan?

For all I know he's on a plane
headed for the eastern block.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Serguei, go to the west
wing, check every room.

- You can't do that!
- This is a matter of security.

- We expect your cooperation.
- Corporal.

I want you to guard that room. I don't
want anyone to go in or out. Kurt.

Go see if anyone has seen
him on the next floor.

- Major...
- Doctor, you go down to the front desk.

Tell them to alert
all their people.

- I will stay up here.
- Whatever you say, major.

- Hi, baby.
- Dan.

- Hi, baby.
- Dan, you've been drinking?

Hmm, yeah! I've been
drinking, uh, chloradiazine.

- What?
- Chloradiazine. Great.

It's a muscle relaxant.
It's like a triple martini.

Oh, come on, Dan.
Snap out of it now.

We've got to get Rojin down to surgery
in 10 minutes if we don't that's it.

Come on, Dan.

Now, he is not on this floor.

Spread out, we'll search
the entire hospital.

- Dan?
- Uh, I'm sorry.

- You are alright?
- Yeah. I, uh, I drifted off.

- Is there an antidote?
- Not in my bag.

He's gonna have
to do this on his own.

Hmm? Oh, yeah.

We got to get going,
Danny. Can you walk?

What?
Oh, sure.

Well, I'm sorry.
I put you right put in.

I don't understand
where he could be.

We're in luck. Some of the
guards are leaving the floor.

- Why?
- Looking for me.

- Tried to kill me.
- Who?

Kor... Kolchak and Vasil,
with a needle.

- Kolchak tried to kill you?
- Yeah! With a needle.

They were probably
trying to get at him.

Rojin's right. Somebody
wants him out.

Now we've got to get going
our jailer's still outside.

Well. I'll take care of him.

Oh, it's worth a try.
Come on, help me with him.

You're on.

Get him in this chair.

Nick.
Help me up.

Give me a hand.

Oh, help.

- What are you doing?
- It's easier than carrying you.

First time for everything lover.

Where are you going?
What's the matter with him?

Surgery.
We're late.

- Where are they?
- Who?

Maggio and the other doctor.

- They said something about surgery.
- Surgery?

Pager major Kolchak. Tell him to
meet me at surgery immediately.

So glad you're gonna make, doctor.

In a few more minutes we're
gonna order up some breakfast.

Get your equipment ready,
we haven't got much time.

Time seems to be all we do have.

But believe me your patient's
gonna see it in this bill.

I think when you see
who my patient is the

last thing you'll be
worried about is the bill.

You may even want the
honor of paying him, doctor.

Who is it the president
of the United States?

Right job, wrong side.

- Chairman Rojin.
- Shall we begin, doctor?

Major Kolchak to
surgery room, please.

Serguei, Kurt!

- He's stable.
- Scalpel.

Stop!
Do not touch him.

Get out of this room,
Dr. Storoff.

- Now.
- You will ruin him.

Kate.

No! Oh!

- Dan?
- What's he doing in here?

Who?

- Close the door.
- Kolchak, stop them.

All right, now where
did you get him?

- What are you trying to do?
- What is it, some kind of circus?

I promised the Chairman that
I would perform the surgery.

And what kind of
surgery, doctor?

I can't tell you.

Seize him.

- Now what are you doing...
- I have reason to believe, doctor.

That you want the chairman dead.

Will someone tell
me what's going on?

- Major.
- I didn't want to alarm you, Dr. Storoff.

- You didn't want to...
- Kolchak tried to kill Rojin.

- Excuse me.
- You tried to kill the Chairman.

- What?
- You, you tried to kill the Chairman.

- With a syringe in his pocket...
- Well, there's a syringe in his pocket.

Don't be ridiculous.

Atrophyne.
A lethal dose.

Of course I carry it with me. For the
Chairman's protection. Tell them, Vasil.

Vasil, tell them.

Well, Vasil?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

- Vasil!
- Seize him.

Don't move!

So, you think you can
betray me, comrade?

Suddenly pull out when
things become difficult?

Cowards never
make history, Vasil.

You're all about to
witness a great event.

You're going to see the transfer
of power from this weak,

wrinkled feeble old man,

to a strong young
coalition of comrades.

Who shall lead the people of the
eastern bloc to world dominance.

The people of our country.

Not youth vitality,

and I major Petra Kolchak
shall give that to them.

Kolchak, no!

Help me!

Doctor.

He was right.
They look at the face,

- instead of the mind.
- May we proceed with the operation?

Whatever he wants.

- I shall miss that old face
- It'll be the same face.

only a few years younger.

Now, will everybody who does
not belong here please get out?

So that we can re-scrub
and begin the operation.

Excuse me.

Here's a direct cook from Pravda.

"Looking tan refreshed
and 10 years younger".

"Chairman Rojin
arrived home from two

glorious weeks at a
workers health resort".

"This put an end to the vicious
rumors that the Chairman's

age was hindering his
service to the country.

And listen to this.

"In sweeping changes of policy,

Chairman Rojin today
announced additional support

for the U.N., a reduction
in arm shipments

and a pledge to release
political prisoners".

Well this one's more ominous.

"Major Petra Kolchak and Vasil
Brovnick former aide and

security chief to chairman Rojin will be
tried next month on a variety of charges

ranging from conspiracy to
assassinate the chairman,

to illegal possession of drugs".
