[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME PLAYS ]

Man: GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. PHELPS.

THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT

IS THE ECCENTRIC ART COLLECTOR VICTOR LASZLO,

WHO RECENTLY ARRANGED THE THEFT

OF THE ONLY COPY OF A NEW FUEL FORMULA

VITAL TO AMERICA'S MISSILE DEFENSE.

THE THEFT WAS EXECUTED

BY LASZLO'S PARTNER, RAY DUNSON,

WHO ALSO KILLED THE ONE AMERICAN SCIENTIST

CAPABLE OF DUPLICATING THE FORMULA.

ENEMY SCIENTISTS HAVE RECENTLY SOLVED

THE SAME PROBLEM,

SO THEY DO NOT NEED OUR COPY OF THE FORMULA,

BUT THEY WILL PAY LASZLO HANDSOMELY

FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF DESTROYING IT,

AND THEREBY PUTTING US YEARS BEHIND THEM

IN MILITARY CAPABILITY.

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

IS TO RECOVER THE FORMULA.

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.

[ MOTOR WHIRRING ]

[ SWITCH CLICKS, WHIRRING STOPS ]

CAN WE SWITCH THESE WINDOWS OPTICALLY, BARNEY?

YES, JIM. THE MAT IS ALREADY MADE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOOT WHAT GOES ON

IN THE ROOM ON THE 11th FLOOR,

AND I'LL MOVE IT OPTICALLY

TO THE 12th FLOOR.

MM-HMM. GOOD.

LASZLO'S DECORATOR DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

THE APARTMENT IS BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S A SHOWPLACE.

DON'T LET IT FOOL YOU, GILLIAN.

IT'S ALSO A FORTRESS.

LASZLO HAS INSTALLED

EVERY SOPHISTICATED SECURITY DEVICE.

ANYONE TRYING TO ENTER THE APARTMENT FORCIBLY

WILL AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER THE EXPLOSIVE MECHANISM

ON THE SAFE BEHIND THIS PICTURE.

BUT WITH THE HELP OF MILLER AND THIS,

GETTING IN SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM.

NOW, THE SAFE OPERATES OFF OF THREE BUTTONS --

LEFT, RIGHT, AND CENTER.

JIM, MILLER AND DUNSON HAVE BEEN WITH LASZLO

FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

THEY'VE BEEN IN THAT APARTMENT MANY TIMES.

YES, BUT THEY'LL SEE ONLY WHAT THEY EXPECT TO SEE.

HAVE THEY FINISHED CUTTING INTO THE PRIVATE ELEVATOR SHAFT

ON THE 11th FLOOR?

YES, JIM. ALL WE HAVE TO DO

IS INSTALL THE REMOTE-CONTROL OVERRIDE.

JIM, HOW MUCH TROUBLE WILL GILLIAN BE IN

WHEN LASZLO KNOWS THE TRUTH?

LASZLO HIMSELF

IS SMART ENOUGH NOT TO HARM HER.

THE DANGER IS DUNSON.

HE'S A CLEVER PROFESSIONAL KILLER.

YOU CAN'T EVEN LET HIM

START TO TALK LASZLO INTO GETTING RID OF YOU.

SINCE THE UNITED PEOPLES' REPUBLIC

COMMISSIONED LASZLO TO STEAL THE FORMULA,

DO YOU THINK HE'LL LISTEN TO OUR PROPOSITION?

YES. FIRST OF ALL, LASZLO IS AN ART LOVER.

YOU COUPLE THAT WITH AN INSATIABLE GREED,

AND YOU COME UP WITH THE PERFECT DOOR-OPENER --

THE LEGENDARY PEKING BUDDHA.

GOOD MORNING, MR. DUNSON.

ALL QUIET, MILLER?

[ DOORS SLIDE OPEN ]

[ DOORS SLIDE CLOSED ]

[ MOTOR WHIRRING ]

OH, GOOD MORNING, RAY.

THE BRAZILIAN AGRIAS SARDANAPALUS,

THE WORLD'S RAREST BUTTERFLY.

BEAUTIFUL, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

LIGHT SCOTCH AND SODA?

STRONG SCOTCH AND SODA.

SOMETHING THE MATTER?

NO.

NO, I JUST WISH THIS WERE ALL OVER.

YOU REALLY WORRY TOO MUCH, DUNSON.

WELL, IT WASN'T YOU WHO KILLED THE SCIENTIST.

AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE FORMULA,

NOBODY CAN PROVE ANYTHING.

THERE ARE WAYS OF GETTING INTO SAFES.

AGREED, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A GENIUS TO GET INTO MINE

WITHOUT BLOWING UP THE EVIDENCE.

IT WOULD HAVE?

YES.

THIS MORNING, I INSTALLED ANOTHER SECURITY DEVICE,

WHICH NOW MAKES THE SAFE FOOLPROOF.

WHAT IS IT?

WELL, THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FOOLPROOF.

TO OUR SUCCESS.

YES?

MISS COLLINS TO SEE MR. LASZLO.

[ BUZZES ]

YES, MILLER?

WHO?

AN ART DEALER.

WELL, ASK HER TO LEAVE HER CARD.

WHAT?

WELL, THAT'S DIFFERENT. SEND HER UP.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

YES, MISS COLLINS.

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MOMENT.

AN ART DEALER. IT WON'T TAKE LONG.

WHY DON'T YOU WAIT IN THE OFFICE?

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

MISS COLLINS, THE LEGENDARY PEKING BUDDHA

DISAPPEARED DURING THE JAPANESE INVASION OF CHINA

OVER 30 YEARS AGO.

NO ONE HAS SEEN IT SINCE.

IF IT'S A FRAUD, SIMPLY A CLEVER REPLICA,

I'D KNOW AS SOON AS I SAW IT.

WELL, OF COURSE YOU WOULD.

ANY COLLECTOR OF YOUR REPUTATION WOULD.

IT IS GENUINE.

WELL, IF IT IS, IT'S PRICELESS.

WHAT MAKES YOU BELIEVE

I COULD AFFORD TO BUY IT?

THE PEOPLE I REPRESENT

KNOW OF YOUR AVAILABLE ASSETS.

THEY'RE INTERESTED IN ONE IN PARTICULAR.

THEY CONSIDER IT

AS PRICELESS AS THE BUDDHA.

I SEE.

THESE PARTIES YOU REPRESENT, THEY ARE...

THE PEOPLE MOST LIKELY TO POSSESS THE PEKING BUDDHA.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME A MOMENT?

BARNEY?

ALL FINISHED, JIM.

I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW MISS COLLINS.

FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DOES THIS PEKING BUDDHA LOOK LIKE?

SHE'LL BE LEAVING IN A FEW MINUTES.

MISS COLLINS,

YOUR PROPOSITION INTERESTS ME,

BUT YOUR TERMS WOULD MAKE MY POSITION

WITH CERTAIN PARTIES RATHER TENUOUS.

I SEE.

HOWEVER, WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO BUSINESS.

THESE PARTIES YOU REPRESENT --

IS YOUR POSITION WITH THEM

THROUGH ONE OF LOYALTY?

I'M FAR TOO SELFISH

TO BE LOYAL TO ONE PERSON OR ONE COUNTRY.

I'M A PAID INTERMEDIARY.

WHY DID YOU ASK THAT?

I WANT THE BUDDHA,

AND I WILL BE COMING INTO A LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH SOON.

I'M AFRAID IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT

TO GET THE BUDDHA ON A PURE CASH TRANSACTION.

DIFFICULT, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

I'LL HAVE TO SEE.

I'LL NEED TWO HOURS.

GRANTED.

UNDERSTAND...

IF YOU DO FIND IT POSSIBLE,

I WILL BE VERY GENEROUS

AS FAR AS A FINDER'S FEE IS CONCERNED.

WELL, THAT CERTAINLY IS AN INCENTIVE, MR. LASZLO.

30 SECONDS, PARIS.

I'll be ready when you call Miller.

I'M ALL SET, JIM.

[ TELEPHONE BUZZES ]

MILLER?

Yes, Mr. Laszlo?

MILLER, DEAR BOY,

COME UP FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE.

YES, SIR.

[ DRAWER CLOSES ]

Paris: [ As Laszlo ] MILLER?

NEVER MIND. I TOOK CARE OF IT MYSELF.

YOU CAN GO BACK DOWN AGAIN.

YES, SIR.

EVERYTHING GO ALL RIGHT?

Paris: [ Normal voice ] WE GOT THE HANDPRINTS.

THEY'RE READY FOR PROCESSING.

GOOD. FINE.

YOU KNOW, MILLER REALLY THOUGHT

HE WAS ON THE 12th FLOOR, PARIS.

PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY EXPECT TO SEE.

ERIC.

READY, PARIS.

[ CLICK, MOTOR WHIRRING ]

Man: YES?

GOOD AFTERNOON.

CAN I HELP YOU?

YES, I THINK YOU CAN, FATHER.

MY NAME IS KELLER.

I'M A FEATURE WRITER FOR ART WORLD --

THE MAGAZINE FOR ART COLLECTORS.

I SEE.

WELL, IF IT'S MAGAZINES YOU'RE SELLING --

HAVE YOU SPENT

A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN THE ORIENT?

YES, UNTIL THE REVOLUTION.

THEN I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE.

BUT I DON'T SEE WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH --

ART WORLD?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE PEKING BUDDHA?

OF COURSE.

THE FAMOUS LOST ART TREASURE.

WELL, OUR MAGAZINE HAS HAD A REPORT

THAT THE PEKING BUDDHA HAS BEEN FOUND

AND BROUGHT TO THIS COUNTRY.

TO THIS COUNTRY?

BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND --

BY YOU, FATHER.

BY ME?

OH, NO, MR. KELLER.

YOU'RE-YOU'RE VERY MISTAKEN.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME A MOMENT,

I PROMISED TO MAKE A CALL

TO ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF MY PARISH.

[ ROTARY TELEPHONE DIALING ]

Barney: MR. SIMPSON, INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT.

FATHER ROBERTS CALLING. IT'S VERY URGENT.

MR. SIMPSON?

I THINK YOU BETTER COME OVER HERE.

THERE'S A MAN HERE BY THE NAME OF KELLER

FROM ART WORLD MAGAZINE.

HE'S BEEN ASKING ABOUT THE PEKING BUDDHA.

10 MINUTES?

I'LL TRY AND KEEP HIM HERE.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

I COULDN'T PERSUADE THEM.

THEY ASK YOU

TO RECONSIDER THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL --

THE BUDDHA FOR THE FORMULA.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THEM.

THEIR MILITARY DEVELOPMENT

IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TO MAKE USE OF IT.

PERHAPS NOT, BUT THEIR DAY WILL COME.

MEANWHILE, THEY FEEL THEY HAVE

A VERY PERSUASIVE BARGAINING TOOL.

I SEE. WELL, MISS COLLINS, I'M SORRY --

THEY'VE MADE AN ADDITION TO THE PROPOSAL.

ALONG WITH THE BUDDHA,

THEY'LL GIVE YOU $10 MILLION.

HOW LONG AGO?

JUST A FEW MINUTES.

WAS SHE ALONE?

NO ONE ELSE IN...

OR OUT.

I'M AFRAID MY PRACTICALITY WON'T ALLOW ME TO ACCEPT

ANY OF THESE PROPOSALS.

I HAVE MADE IT A BUSINESS POLICY

NEVER TO DEAL WITH TWO COMPETITORS

AT THE SAME TIME.

IT BECOMES FAR TOO DANGEROUS,

ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THEM BECOMES ANGRY.

THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT.

THEY'RE WILLING

TO GRANT YOU PROTECTION.

HOW?

THEY'LL ALLOW YOU TO LIVE IN THEIR COUNTRY.

HOW VERY GENEROUS OF THEM.

HOWEVER, I BELIEVE, IN THE LONG RUN,

THE CLIMATE IN THEIR COUNTRY

WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH.

NOW, MY ASSOCIATE. EXCUSE ME A MOMENT.

OF COURSE.

[ DOOR SLIDES CLOSED ]

YOU'RE CERTAIN?

POSITIVE.

THE PRIEST CALLED AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE IMMEDIATELY.

MISS COLLINS, MY ASSOCIATE, MR. DUNSON.

UNFORTUNATELY, MR. DUNSON HAS TOLD ME

SOME VERY DISTRESSING NEWS

WHICH AFFECTS OUR DISCUSSION.

OH? WHAT HAS HE TOLD YOU?

THAT YOU ARE AN AMERICAN AGENT.

I BELIEVE YOU OWE ME AN EXPLANATION.

I DON'T SEE WHY DEALING WITH THE AMERICANS

SHOULD CHANGE ANYTHING.

WE WANT THE FORMULA,

AND WE DO HAVE THE PEKING BUDDHA.

MY DEAR MISS COLLINS --

OUR ARRANGEMENT CAN STILL BE THE SAME --

THE BUDDHA FOR THE FORMULA.

EXCUSE ME, MISS COLLINS.

HMM?

YOU'RE BLOCKING MY VIEW.

OH.

THANK YOU.

NOW.

[ CLICKS ]

YOU WOULDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT, VICTOR.

THE UNITED PEOPLES' REPUBLIC

WON'T THINK OF ANY FUTURE FAVORS

IF YOU CROSS THEM.

THEY'LL JUST KILL US NOW.

THEY WON'T GET YOU.

I TOLD YOU WE'D PROTECT YOU.

SO YOU SAY.

BUT IT WOULD BE TERRIBLY UNFORTUNATE

IF YOU DECIDED NOT TO.

AFTER ALL, MY IRON CURTAIN CHUMS

WOULD DO YOU A SERVICE BY ELIMINATING US.

I GUARANTEE YOU PROTECTION.

MISS COLLINS,

AFTER ALL THE LIES YOU'VE SAID THIS AFTERNOON,

I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD RECOGNIZE

YOUR TELLING THE TRUTH IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

[ BEEPS ]

Dunson: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH HER?

YES, YOU ARE A BIT OF A PROBLEM.

PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY FALL OUT OF WINDOWS

EVERY DAY.

UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK SHE HAS FRIENDS

WAITING FOR HER OUTSIDE.

IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME,

THEY MIGHT INTERRUPT YOUR MEETING

THIS AFTERNOON.

WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

GOODBYE, MISS COLLINS.

IF YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND,

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN REACH ME.

[ BEEPS ]

I HAVE TO GET

TO MY HEALTH CLUB APPOINTMENT.

STILL TRYING TO KEEP SLIM? DEAR BOY.

DON'T FORGET OUR MEETING.

I WON'T.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT AM I DOING HERE? WHERE AM I?

[ Foreign accent ] WHEN DID YOU AND LASZLO

DECIDE TO BREAK YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US?

WITH YOU?

OH, THEN YOU'RE...

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITH THE DEAL AS AGREED.

WE WOULDN'T --

DO YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?

YES. HER NAME IS COLLINS.

SHE...SHE CAME TO US.

SHE SAID SHE WAS A REPRESENTATIVE

OF SOME ASIATIC --

SHE IS AN AMERICAN AGENT.

YES, I KNOW.

WE FOUND THAT OUT.

WE TOLD HER NO.

WE TOLD HER NO DEAL.

WE'RE...WE'RE COMMITTED TO YOUR PEOPLE,

THE DEAL WE MADE.

WHY DID LASZLO MOVE THE FORMULA

TO THE SECRET ROOM?

I DON'T --

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT...

WHAT...WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL?

WHAT SECRET ROOM?

SILENCE!

AND WATCH.

[ CLICKS ]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

LASZLO WOULDN'T DOUBLE-CROSS US.

YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.

I NEVER SAW...

I NEVER EVEN KNEW THAT ROOM WAS THERE.

LASZLO OPENED THE SAFE WHEN I WASN'T THERE.

HE TOLD ME WE WERE TURNING DOWN

THE AMERICAN OFFER.

HE'S TRICKED ME, TOO.

BELIEVE ME, HE'S DOUBLE-CROSSED US ALL.

BUT...

BUT WHAT?

WHEN WAS THIS TAKEN?

THIS MORNING.

WHY? WHAT IS IT?

OH, NOTHING.

HE...HE MUST HAVE DONE IT

WHEN HE BLOCKED THE VIEW FOR A FEW SECONDS.

DONE WHAT?

TURNED OFF THE EXTRA SAFETY DEVICE.

HE...HAD A NEW ONE

INSTALLED THIS MORNING.

I SEE. HOW DOES IT...OPERATE?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE DIDN'T TELL ME.

HE JUST SAID IT MADE THE SAFE FOOLPROOF.

TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CAR.

[ CLICKS ]

Jim: Barney?

Don't open the safe.

Laszlo installed another safety device somewhere.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, JIM.

Then wait and hear what happens

when Laszlo opens our duplicate safe.

RIGHT.

I HAVE DECIDED TO TRUST YOU.

BUT IF YOU CROSS US AS LASZLO DID --

BELIEVE ME. YOU CAN TRUST ME.

I WILL GIVE YOU

THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE IT.

NOW?

YES.

GO BACK TO LASZLO.

FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN.

I WILL.

I WILL WAIT HERE FOR YOU.

[ DOORS SLIDING CLOSED ]

[ WHIRRING ]

[ WHIRRING STOPS ]

Paris: [ Normal voice ] Dunson's in our secret room.

[ As Laszlo ] WE CAN CONCLUDE OUR BUSINESS

IN MY OFFICE, IF YOU WISH.

I DO HOPE MY INSISTENCE ON CASH

DID NOT INCONVENIENCE YOU IN ANY WAY.

WE WOULD HAVE HONORED THE CHECK.

UNDOUBTEDLY, BUT $10 MILLION

IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY.

SOMEBODY MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART

AND PUT A STOP PAYMENT ON IT.

[ LATCHES CLICK ]

Collins: COUNT IT.

OH, NO. I TRUST YOU.

I'LL, UH, JUST MAKE A SPOT-CHECK.

Collins: SATISFIED?

VERY.

GOOD. THE FORMULA.

I'M AFRAID THAT WON'T BE POSSIBLE.

I DON'T ENJOY THAT KIND OF HUMOR, MR. LASZLO.

GIVE ME THE FORMULA, NOW.

YOU WILL GET IT

AFTER THE BUDDHA HAS BEEN AUTHENTICATED.

THAT WASN'T OUR ARRANGEMENT.

THE ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED.

CORRECTION...

THE ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN TERMINATED.

AS YOU WISH.

I WILL GET THE BUDDHA.

MISS COLLINS, YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE.

I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF GIVING YOU THE FORMULA

AFTER THE BUDDHA HAS BEEN AUTHENTICATED.

Collins: I THINK YOU'RE LYING.

I THINK YOU'RE PLANNING

TO GIVE IT TO THE U.P.R.

I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING THEM ANYTHING

EXCEPT AN EMPTY SAFE.

THEY'D KILL YOU.

NOT AFTER I'VE TOLD THEM

THAT I'VE BEEN ROBBED.

THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVE THAT.

NO ONE CAN GET INTO THAT SAFE

WITHOUT BLOWING IT UP.

THERE IS ONE PERSON.

DUNSON?

EXACTLY.

YOU SEE, I HAVE THOUGHT THIS OUT VERY CAREFULLY.

I DO INTEND TO GIVE YOU THE FORMULA.

DO YOU STILL WANT THE BUDDHA?

MISS COLLINS.

GO AHEAD.

HAVE IT AUTHENTICATED.

BUT I HOPE THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE DELAYING TACTICS.

AS YOU SAID YOURSELF, MR. LASZLO,

TWO PARTIES DEALING AT THE SAME TIME

CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

DID ANYONE EVER TELL YOU

YOU'RE EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE

WHEN YOU'RE THREATENING?

MR. LASZLO.

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

IT'S TRUE.

ALL OF IT.

I SAW THE ROOM.

LASZLO HAS MADE A DEAL WITH THE AMERICANS.

DID HE SEE YOU?

DOES HE KNOW WE HAVE FOUND OUT?

NO. WHAT DO WE DO?

WHERE IS THE FORMULA NOW?

IN THE SECRET ROOM.

GO BACK.

ATTEND THE MEETING WITH OUR PEOPLE.

THEY WILL BE ARRIVING ANY MOMENT.

THEY KNOW EVERYTHING,

INCLUDING YOUR COOPERATION WITH US.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE'LL JUST LET LASZLO

PLAY OUT HIS LITTLE GAME, HMM?

EXACTLY.

YOU COULD PROVE YOUR LOYALTY AGAIN, IF YOU WISH.

I'VE DECIDED TO TRUST YOU.

HERE'S YOUR GUN.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS ]

MR. MARKOFF, GENTLEMEN.

I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

Laszlo: CAN I FIX YOU A DRINK?

NO THANK YOU, MR. LASZLO.

WE WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE THE TRANSACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

BUT OF COURSE. MY ASSOCIATE, MR. DUNSON, WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.

WHEN HE ARRIVES, WE CAN BEGIN.

OH, GOOD, RAY, YOU'RE HERE.

I BELIEVE YOU KNOW EVERYBODY HERE.

YES, I THINK I KNOW EVERYONE.

I GUESS WE CAN BEGIN.

IT'S GONE!

WHAT?

THE WHOLE SAFE IS EMPTY.

IF THIS IS SOME KIND OF GAME...

WHERE IS IT?

SOMEHOW IT'S BEEN STOLEN.

SOMEHOW WE'VE BEEN ROBBED.

HAVE WE, VICTOR?

YES!

WELL, YOU TOLD ME THE SAFE WAS FOOLPROOF.

IT WAS. YOU AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES

WHO KNEW ABOUT THE NEW SECURITY DEVICE.

YOU.

YOU'VE STOLEN IT.

HOW COULD I?

YOU NEVER TOLD ME HOW THE NEW SAFETY DEVICE WORKED.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT THIS MORNING.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL?

OH, YOU CAN STOP PRETENDING NOW, VICTOR.

IT'S ALL OVER.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.

WAIT. LET HIM FINISH.

YOUR CLEVER PLAN DIDN'T WORK,

BECAUSE WE FOUND OUT.

WHAT PLAN?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

MY LYING, DOUBLE-DEALING PARTNER.

YOU WERE GOING TO GET RICH,

AND I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE FALL.

DUNSON, STOP!

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

OPEN IT UP!

OPEN WHAT?

THE SECRET ROOM,

WHERE YOU HID THE FORMULA

AND THE PEKING BUDDHA.

OPEN THE DOOR.

SECRET ROOM? YOU'RE CRAZY! THERE'S NO SECRET ROOM!

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ THUDS ]

LET ME HAVE THAT.

NOW, SUPPOSE YOU SHOW US

THIS SECRET ROOM WHERE THE FORMULA IS.

OF COURSE.

IT'S RIGHT HERE.

WHEN YOU PRESS THIS PANEL,

THE BOOKCASE SWINGS BACK.

THE ROOM IS RIGHT BEHIND THE BOOKCASE.

I SAW IT.

IT MUST BE STUCK.

THERE'S A STRONGBOX INSIDE

WITH THE FORMULA AND THE PEKING BUDDHA.

THE AMERICANS -- THEY GAVE LASZLO THE BUDDHA

IN PAYMENT FOR THE FORMULA,

BUT WE STOPPED THEM.

WELL, YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU SENT YOUR OWN MAN TO SHOW ME THE FILM --

THE FILM OF THE ROOM!

I SAW THE ROOM.

IT WAS THERE.

IT'S...

WELL, IT'S GOT TO BE THERE.

IT'S GOT TO OPEN.

IT'S THERE.

I...I SAW IT.

WHY WON'T IT OPEN?!

IT'S GOT TO OPEN!

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ THUDS ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ BEEPS ]

JIM?

I may have something.

THE COMBINATION IS SET ON 9.

ON THE REAL SAFE,

THE LAST TUMBLER CLICKED ON 5.

I think Laszlo's extra turn

might be the new safety device.

[ CLICKS ]

[ CLICKS ]

I've got it, Jim.
