[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME PLAYS ]

Man: GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. PHELPS.

THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS ANTON VALDAS,

THE ENEMY'S HIGHEST-RANKING INTELLIGENCE MINISTER.

WE HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED BY A FRIENDLY NATION

THAT VALDAS HAS IN HIS POSSESSION

A MASTER LIST OF ALL THE ALLIED AGENTS

WHO HAVE DEFECTED TO HIM.

KNOWING THE IDENTITIES OF THESE DOUBLE AGENTS

IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO OUR ALLIES AND TO US.

YOUR MISSION, JIM, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO GET THAT LIST.

AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE

BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,

THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

THE LIST IS STILL AT VALDAS' CHâTEAU.

IT'S IN THE SAFE, STUDY, ON THE SECOND FLOOR,

RIGHT HERE.

AND THE SAFE ITSELF?

KATSCHEN FABRIK. GERMAN-MADE.

BUT THE TUMBLERS CAN BE DIFFICULT.

I'LL CHECK WITH BARNEY.

NOW, IF YOU REQUIRE ANY INSIDE HELP,

WE DO HAVE AN AGENT AT THE CHâTEAU --

NICOLE VEDETTE.

SHE PENETRATED VALDAS' SECURITY ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO.

SHE'S HIS PERSONAL SECRETARY.

NO REASON TO RISK HER COVER. WE'LL DO IT OURSELVES.

NOW, IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, CALL THIS NUMBER.

USE MY CODE NAME -- "SPARROW."

YOU'LL GET RIGHT THROUGH TO ME.

GOT IT.

PARTY'S STILL SET FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.

OH, OH, YES.

ALL RIGHT. THEN WE GO AS SCHEDULED --

BEFORE GENERAL VENTAKOFF RETURNS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

GENERAL VENTAKOFF.

I CAN MANAGE. I CAN MANAGE. I'M NOT AN INVALID.

JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU, SIR.

SILENCE! I'M HERE FOR A GOOD TIME.

I WANT TO HEAR NO MORE NONSENSE

ABOUT BEDTIME, PILLS, OR EXERTION, YOU UNDERSTAND?

OF COURSE, SIR. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

GENERAL VENTAKOFF.

SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.

NICE TO SEE YOU. IF IT WERE LEFT UP

TO SOME PEOPLE, I...I WOULDN'T HAVE.

VALDRAT, ISN'T IT?

VALDAS.

YES, OF COURSE.

I NEVER FORGET FACES OR NAMES -- ELEPHANT MEMORY.

NOW, UH, ARE WE GOING TO STAND HERE ALL NIGHT

MAKING CAT'S EYES AT EACH OTHER,

OR ARE WE GOING TO GO...IN THERE

AND LOOK AT THE PRETTIES, HMM, VALDRAT, HMM, HMM?

THIS WAY, GENERAL.

AHA! THE LIST.

YES.

AND WHEN DO YOU PROPOSE

TO HAND THE LIST TO THE PREMIER, ANTON?

WHEN HE RETURNS FROM HIS INSPECTION TOUR.

I'M CERTAIN YOU WILL BE WELL REWARDED.

MAY I?

I DO IT FOR NO PERSONAL GAIN.

ONLY DUTY.

DON'T WE ALL?

OF COURSE, THE PREMIER WILL NOT BE RETURNING FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

ARE YOUR SECURITY PRECAUTIONS SATISFACTORY?

THE BEST.

JUST THIS AFTERNOON,

I HAD A PRESSURIZED FLOOR INSTALLED IN THE SAFE.

IF ANYTHING IS REMOVED OR TOUCHED,

THE ALARM IS AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERED.

AND NOW, IF WE HAVE NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS,

I SHOULD LIKE TO RETURN TO MY GUESTS.

WOULD YOU CONSIDER JOINING US?

I'M NOT DRESSED FOR IT,

AND I DON'T THINK I COULD STAND THE NOTORIETY.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

NOW, WHERE WAS I?

UM, OH, EXPLAINING THE BATTLE OF MONTADIA.

OH, YES, YES, OF COURSE.

NOW YOU, MY DEAR, YOU ARE GENERAL TROSEVSKY.

YOU COMMAND THE HEIGHTS, BRISTLING BREASTWORKS.

[ LAUGHS ]

DO I GET A MEDAL FOR IT, GENERAL?

YES, OF COURSE. I'LL PIN IT ON YOU PERSONALLY.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Woman: OH, OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T HAVE.

MY DEAR, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN.

MAJOR!

MAJOR, ISN'T IT POSITIVELY SCANDALOUS

THE WAY GENERAL VENTAKOFF CARRIES ON?

AS THE SAYING GOES,

"TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS."

THE MAN HAS THE INSTINCTS OF A ROOSTER

AND A MIND LIKE A SIEVE.

JUST BECAUSE HE HAS THE KNACK OF FINDING WOMEN,

WHOSE MORALITY ENDS WHERE HIS DIAMONDS BEGIN,

IS NO EXCUSE, IS IT, MAJOR?

HMM?

IS IT, MAJOR?

OH, NO, NO, CERTAINLY NOT.

WELL, I'M SURE

WE'RE ALL CERTAIN TO SEE A DISGUSTING SPECTACLE.

EXCUSE ME.

MAJOR, THE GENERAL IS ASKING FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

FORGIVE ME, MADAME.

OH, CERTAINLY.

YOU, MY DEAR, YOU ARE... TROSEVSKY'S ARTILLERY.

HMM.

WHEN YOU ARE OVER HERE,

YOUR CANNON AIMED DOWN INTO THE VALLEY...THUSLY...

...AND I... I AM GENERAL VENTAKOFF.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE GENERAL WANTS?

YES. BUT IT WASN'T YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS, UH...

NOW, IF I TELL YOU MY LAST NAME,

WE'RE GOING TO STAND AROUND HERE ALL NIGHT

BEING VERY DULL AND FORMAL WITH EACH OTHER.

I'M NICOLE.

IVAN.

NOW, TELL ME, NICOLE, DO YOU ALWAYS GO AROUND

RESCUING MEN THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW?

OH, BUT I KNOW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT YOU.

YOU DO? WHAT?

WELL...STATISTICALLY, YOU'RE ABOUT 37,

EDUCATED AT THE VENSKRY ACADEMY,

TOP OF YOUR CLASS,

HANDSOME, RECENTLY PROMOTED,

AND YOU'RE UNMARRIED BUT...NOT UNSCARRED.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THAT'S VERY GOOD.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

WELL, YOU'RE WEARING THE SCHOOL RING

OF THE VENSKRY ACADEMY AND THE STICKPIN.

YOU'RE WEARING NEW MAJOR INSIGNIA,

BUT THE OLD INSIGNIA IMPRINT IS STILL VISIBLE UNDER THERE,

AND NO WEDDING BAND.

HOW ABOUT THE SCARS?

AH, WELL, I ALWAYS HAVE A TENDENCY

TO MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED.

NOW, YOU TRY THE GAME.

OH, NO, I COULDN'T DO THAT. I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW AT ALL.

OH, YES, GO ON. IT'S EASY. PLEASE TRY. WHO AM I?

YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL,

INTELLIGENT, CHARMING --

NOW YOU'RE CHEATING, IVAN.

THOSE ARE COMPLIMENTS, NOT FACTS.

NO, THEY'RE FACTS.

YES, BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THE GAME.

I DON'T CARE.

THEN GO ON. TELL ME. CONTINUE.

OH, I FIND IT VERY HARD

TO GET BEYOND THOSE... STATISTICS.

WELL, WHAT SIGN ARE YOU?

SIGN? A CAPRICORN?

I COULD BE, BUT I'M NOT.

THEN I'M CLOSE -- SOMETHING FISHY.

SWIMS A LITTLE -- YOU'RE RIGHT.

PISCES? YES.

GOOD. YOU SEE, I AM GOOD AT IT AFTER ALL.

WHAT ARE YOU? I'M A GEMINI.

IS THAT A GOOD COMBINATION?

TERRIBLE.

DISASTER? THE WORST.

COME HERE WITH ME. COME ON.

OH, I'M JUST VALDAS' PERSONAL SECRETARY.

JUST?

WELL, NOW...WHAT, UM,

DOES A PERSONAL SECRETARY DO?

OH, SHE ENTERTAINS AIDES,

PLIES THEM WITH CHAMPAGNE, DANCES WITH THEM,

AND THEN WANGLES ALL OF THEIR SECRETS OUT OF THEM.

FOR VALDAS?

[ Chuckling ] YES.

YOU ARE A SPY.

AMONGST OTHER THINGS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I BELIEVE THE GENERAL

REQUIRES SOME ATTENTION, MAJOR.

OH, OF COURSE. UH, EXCUSE ME.

A MAJOR?

REALLY.

[ Slurring ] At ease, at ease, at ease.

I don't want to lie down.

I want to dance a polka.

I want to dance a -- not now.

ALL RIGHT, GENERAL. THIS IS THE ROOM.

I don't want to lie down.

IN WE GO.

I would like to do a polka.

ALL RIGHT. JUST DOWN THERE.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

DO YOU REQUIRE ANYTHING?

NO, THANK YOU, SIR. HE'LL BE FINE.

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING A NICE TIME.

[ CHUCKLES ] YOU WEREN'T DOING TOO BADLY YOURSELF.

YOU ALL SET?

YEAH.

RIGHT.

YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?

OH, MY DEAR, HIS LAST EXHIBITION WAS POSITIVELY SCANDALOUS.

ALL THOSE STRAIGHT LINES, HIDEOUS CUBES --

DISGUSTING.

I WANT TO TELL YOU, IT MADE ME FEEL QUITE --

MAJOR!

DID YOU SEE THE EXHIBITION?

UH, NO, I DIDN'T.

THE MAN PAINTS LIKE AN ANIMAL,

AND THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY

TO CALL HIS WORK "ART" -- ABSTRACT ART.

HE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN INSTITUTION.

OF COURSE, THEY COULDN'T HELP HIM,

BUT THEY WOULD CONFINE HIM,

AND THAT WOULD BE A BLESSING TO US ALL.

I BELIEVE WE WERE DANCING.

[ PANTING ]

I need your help.

Come here.

[ MUFFLED GASPING ]

[ LOCK DISENGAGES ]

[ ALARM SOUNDS ]

[ RINGING CONTINUES ]

GENERAL VENTAKOFF.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT.

UNLOAD THEM. GIVE ME THE CLIPS.

HURRY. EMPTY THE CHAMBERS.

OPEN IT.

[ ALARM STOPS ]

COME ON OUT NOW, GENERAL.

HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEADS.

MOVE.

CAR.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

[ HORN HONKS ]

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

NO ONE IS ALLOWED DOWN HERE, MISS VEDETTE.

PUT IT DOWN.

MOVE OVER THERE.

TURN AROUND.

ON THE RAILS.

[ LOCK DISENGAGES ]

Now, you must trust me. I'm an agent.

I know who you are.

I see.

You seem to be making a habit

of rescuing me.

I thank you for that.

Come on. Try and get up. My car's outside.

Valdas: WELL, WELL, WELL.

THE NIGHT SEEMS TO HOLD NO END OF SURPRISES.

ALTHOUGH I MUST CONFESS,

I'VE HAD MY SUSPICIONS ABOUT YOU

FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, NICOLE.

MAY I HAVE THAT, PLEASE?

[ CHUCKLES ]

QUITE THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

I ADVISE YOU BOTH TO GET SOME REST.

IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY DAY TOMORROW --

QUESTIONS AND, UH, WHATNOT.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE LIST -- ONCE THEY FIND OUT IT'S GONE,

THEY'LL KILL YOU.

YOU DISAPPOINT ME, NICOLE.

THE LAST THING I EXPECTED YOU TO DO

WAS TO UNDERESTIMATE ME.

I'M PERFECTLY SAFE.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

I'M QUITE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

HAVE THEY CAUGHT THE OTHER AGENT?

NO.

No, they haven't.

No one's been assigned to catch him yet.

I've seen that list.

I could have helped you get it.

I didn't want to risk your cover.

What?

Valdas said he suspected you for some time,

and yet he let you see the list.

Nobody's been sent to catch Rollin.

Now, that doesn't figure,

unless Valdas wants us to have the list,

which means it's a phony.

Do you get your instructions from Division 7?

Mm-hmm.

I found out

there's a double agent working in that department.

Who?

I only know his code name.

It's "Sparrow."

[ SIGHS ]

He's the one who sent us.

Well, then, Valdas knew you were coming.

He deliberately caught you to make it look as though

it were more difficult to get the list.

We have to get back.

HEY...

GOT A CIGARETTE?

YES, I HAVE.

KEEP IT. IT'S YOUR LAST ONE.

WE CAN SHARE IT.

DID YOU GET IT?

I'LL TRANSMIT IT IMMEDIATELY.

YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE IS ALL SET.

NO. THE CONTACT WILL --

MY FRIEND'S IN TROUBLE. I HAVE TO GO BACK FOR HIM.

[ GROANS ]

[ Crying ] HE'S DEAD.

[ LOCK DISENGAGES ]

[ DOGS BARKING ]

[ PANTING ]

VALDAS...IS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR US.

IF HE SUSPECTS WE KNOW THAT LIST IS A PHONY,

HE'LL NOT ONLY BE LOOKING FOR US,

HE'LL TEAR THIS COUNTRYSIDE APART.

THE BORDER'S ONLY ABOUT 10 KILOMETERS AWAY.

YOU CAN MAKE IT.

NOT AT THE PACE WE'RE GOING, NICOLE,

AND IT'S GOING TO GET SLOWER.

I'M NOT LEAVING YOU.

SOONER OR LATER, YOU HA TO.

IF I EVER DO LEAVE YOU, I'LL DECIDE WHERE AND WHEN.

YOU'LL BE SAFER UP THERE.

WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME?

JIM.

I LIKE THAT. SUITS YOU MUCH BETTER THAN IVAN.

OH. THANK YOU.

JIM.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

HE'S UNCONSCIOUS.

IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, YOU'LL HAVE TO REVIVE HIM.

REVIVE HIM, DOCTOR.

[ CAR DOOR OPENS ]

WELL, EXCEPT FOR THIS LITTLE SETBACK,

YOU'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB LEADING HIM ALONG.

ANOTHER 10 KILOMETERS AND...HE'S HOME.

ALL HE NEEDS IS MORAL SUPPORT.

HE'S VERY WEAK. HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD.

YOU WILL BRING HIM AROUND.

YOU JUST KEEP REMEMBERING THAT YOUR NAME IS ON THAT LIST.

HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN CLEAR YOU.

OH, WOULD YOU CARE FOR A BRANDY?

NO, NO, YOU'D BETTER NOT.

HE MIGHT SMELL IT ON YOUR BREATH.

OH, I SHALL MISS YOU.

NO, I REALLY MEAN IT.

MY PARTIES JUST WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.

YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

NO, I WOULD HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE

NOT ONLY AS BEAUTIFUL AND CHARMING,

BUT SOMEONE ALSO TOTALLY DEVOID OF SCRUPLES.

IF YOU TURN OVER ENOUGH ROCKS, SHE'LL CRAWL OUT.

RIO, ISN'T IT?

WHAT?

WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

YES.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY NOTIONS ABOUT TRACKING ME DOWN THERE,

OR TRYING TO DISPOSE OF ME AT THE BORDER,

I'D FORGET ABOUT THEM IF I WERE YOU.

JUST REMEMBER, IF I DON'T MAKE A CERTAIN PHONE CALL

TO SWITZERLAND EVERY WEEK,

A VERY NASTY LITTLE PACKET OF INFORMATION

IS GOING TO BE DELIVERED TO THE ENEMY.

SO VERY CLEVER --

YOU EFFECTIVELY BLOCK ME,

AND THROUGH WHATEVER HIS NAME IS,

YOU CLEAR YOURSELF BACK HOME.

THE DOCTOR SAYS

HE WILL BE COMING AROUND IN A FEW MINUTES.

WELL, WE MUSTN'T KEEP YOUR YOUNG MAN WAITING.

[ CHUCKLES ]

STRANGE WOMAN. SO FASCINATING.

IS EVERYTHING READY AT THE BORDER?

YES. THEY HAVE ORDERS TO LET HIM GO.

I WANT IT TO BE A CLEAN SHOT.

I DON'T WANT HER TO...LINGER.

[ NICOLE BREATHING HEAVILY ]

NICOLE?

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

ALL RIGHT. I THINK I FEEL BETTER.

How long was I out?

ABOUT AN HOUR.

WE'VE GOT TO PUSH ON.

You'd better check outside, see if it's clear.

NICOLE?

YEAH?

WHAT IS IT?

[ SIGHS ] NOTHING.

JIM?

JIM!

WHAT IS IT?

NOTHING.

I'LL FIX YOUR BANDAGE.

NO, NO. I'LL, UH, COME DOWN.

TAKE THIS.

And this.

[ Nicole catches gun ]

ALL CLEAR OUTSIDE?

YEAH.

LET'S GO.

[ THUDS ]

Man: TO ALL UNITS, TO ALL UNITS,

MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE OVER THE MAN AND THE WOMAN.

[ GROANING ]

YOU'VE GOT TO GET SOME REST.

NO.

[ Panting ]

OH!

JIM! JIM!

JIM...JIM.

[ Crying ]

[ GROANS ]

OH!

NO!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

PUSH ON.

JIM, PLEASE. YOU WON'T MAKE 50 METERS.

I'LL MAKE 50 METERS!

JIM, YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF!

Jim. Oh, Jim.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ON.

VALDAS HAS NO INTENTION OF CATCHING YOU.

He wants you to get to the border.

It was all arranged.

[ SIGHS ]

WE MADE YOU THINK THAT LIST WAS FALSE.

BUT IT'S LEGITIMATE, AND MY NAME'S ON IT.

BUT I'M A DOUBLE AGENT.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MUST BE THINKING,

BUT IT WASN'T ALL A GAME, HONESTLY.

SO NOW YOU CAN REST AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.

THERE'S NO NEED TO GO ON NOW.

VALDAS DOESN'T KNOW THAT I'VE TOLD YOU THIS.

YOU DON'T KNOW, DO YOU?

WHAT?

CALL OUT THE DOGS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN?

NOT LONG.

JUST BEFORE WE GOT OUT OF THE LOFT.

THEN IT WASN'T ALL A GAME.

COME ON. VALDAS WILL REALLY BE AFTER US NOW.

IT'S LOADED WITH BLANKS.

[ THUMPS ]

[ DOG WHINING ]

[ DOGS BARKING ]

TO ALL UNITS, TO ALL UNITS,

CLOSE IN IMMEDIATELY ON THE MAN AND THE WOMAN.

LAST KNOWN POSITION

WAS 13 KILOMETERS WEST OF THE LAKE.

[ DOGS BARKING ]

[ BARKING CONTINUES ]

WE HAVE LOCATED THEM.

THEY'VE BEEN LOCATED.

[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]

[ BRAKES SQUEAL ]

[ SNARLS ]

[ DOGS GROWLING ]

OH, LET HIM GO, ANTON.

PLEADING FOR HIS LIFE -- HOW TOUCHING.

KILLING HIM'S NOT GOING TO PROVE ANYTHING.

ON THE CONTRARY.

WHAT IS THE HUNT WITHOUT THE KILL?

LOOK, I'LL MAKE A BARGAIN WITH YOU.

YOU ARE NOT IN A BARGAINING POSITION, MY DEAR.

OH, BUT I AM.

THAT -- THAT LITTLE PACKET OF INFORMATION

IN SWITZERLAND --

I'LL TELL YOU WHERE IT IS IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS LIFE.

NO.

UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME

WHERE THAT LITTLE PIECE OF BLACKMAIL WAS LOCATED.

THE GAME IS OVER, NICOLE.

HOLD IT.

DROP IT.
