Wont fire. [clears throat] well, i did examine. And i reset the firing pin. Exactly. 1 64th of an inch. Youre bluffing. Try me. [instrumental music] i think, ill call it.

What are we going to do . Well, about the only thing we can do, i guess. Wait. I keep telling myself that this is all a terrible nightmare. That im gonna wake up at my own house and everything will be just fine. Happened to you. I dont know. Well, the last thing you said that you remembered was. Shopping in the local supermarket. In bethesda, maryland, right . Thats right. I was planning a trip to new york to see. To see my mototr. I wanted to make sure there was enough food in the house for david. Was there any particular reason why you were going to see your mother . Yes. Oh, why . It was only a trial separation. Ii wanted to go away and think things over for a while. chris you see when david and i were first married about four years ago, last march. he was in grad school at mit. Oh, hes an engineer . Yes, hes a space engineer withtheb. Yeah. Amalgamated Electronics Business in washington. Thats right. Well, was he in an important position . Dadad. No. See, david is a very sad case. Hes a borderline genius in science. If he ever really tried he could be one of the most important men in washingngn. In the whole world, for that matter. Except in davids strange litttt world, ambition is a dirty word. I love him very much. But ii just canti cant live with a man well, uh, does he want to, uh, get out of the profession . Yes. I think hed rather be a Little League umpire than albert einstein. solo well, i see that the crews social director is announcing games on the main deck. ats a nice ghoul like you doing in a place like this . Well, good afternoon, mr. Solo. I trust you enjoyed your rest. Yes, as a matter of fact i did with the help p your tranquilizer. Thank you. Youre welcome. Are we about to have a guided tour of yoyo chamber of horrors . Ha ha ha. Yes, without the questions in your mind though. What, whwhand how, eh . Well, shall we clear away the puzzlement . Come on, chuke. Now then. This is where our subjects are oriented during the two days that they are missing. brach what i believe you people call in u. N. C. L. E. , a cover now this man has passed through all our standard procedures. hes undergoing his final test. hes not awareref this, or anybody else. Hes obviously been conditioned. brach this mamabehind the glass is mr. Carver. hes a technician with neutron force incorporated. hell be back at his job in a couple of days. brach his hidden drive toward gambling would have interfered with his rise to the very highest position in the company. but now you see, that compulsive urge now, hell achieve rapid advancement. to the point where he can be of some use to us. operated. So to speak. well, how did you happen to slip up with tenley . Oh, we didnt slip up with mr. Tenley, mr. Solo. Mr. Tenley was simply the bait. Youre the catch. brach tenley was conditioned to breakdown at a prearranged moment. to provove u. N. C. L. E. With provocative clues. so that you, mr. Solo, would swallow that bait. Now. Over here. We have mr. Kanu. Mr. Kanu is a nigerian. An outstanding humanitarian and a graduate student of oxford. One day hell be an important figure in his government. But t the moment he believes that he was attacked and beaten with a fine subconscious hatred of beloved england. [door opening] now. Here we have comrade czykowzki. He thihis hes being detained by american intelligence officers. Interrogated. Oh, naturally, hes told them nothing. brach hell be allowed to escape through a very clever maneuver when he gets back to warsaw, hell be promoted. so you see, mr. Solo, each one is being chosen with an eye to intelligence, fitness and above all ambition when one of them reaches a specified career level ization. And would that be thrush . Thrush is an organization that believes the world should have a two party system. The masters and the slaves. Wouldndn you say that was right, mr. Brach . Very nicely put, mr. Solo. And dr. Shtallmacher here is in chargeof the brainwashing. No, no. Something more delicate. More precise, brain n teration. Its my own method. Involving an exact resectioning of nerve patterns. Hows that for ambition, chris . Horrible. Neither horrible or painful, my dear. Ive undergone the operation myself. thehe is absolutely no pain, no scarring no external bleeding. my technique has never no, come, come, come, doctor. After all, these people wont remember either you or your operation. chuke, back, back, back. Mrs. Karda, go on. [blender whirring] why did you choose me . Please. Im just. Just an ordinary housewife. What do you want me for . Oh, give her s sething to calm her nerves will you, mrs. Karda . Oh. No no no no [electricity zapping] why cant he move . Oh, dont be alarmed, mrs. Brinel. The voltage is regulated only to punish him a bit. On the part of thrush. Of u. N. C. L. E. And thrush. brach someday, hell become, undoubtedly, top director but why me . . Please why . Well, ill tell you, mrs. Brinel. Thrush is very anxious to penetrate aeb. Particularly with regard to its spacacprogram which is your husbands field. Unfortunately not. But you could supply the drive and the ambition that could absolutely make him. brach hes a very gifted scientist. you will supply the ambition. brach youll give him the drive. because he loves you, hell l cede to your needs. brach and then hell become our animal. oh, yes, mrs. Brinel. itll all seem perfectly natural and proper give him something, mrs. Karda. A Health Cocktail of raw reptile juice. Oh, actually, im not hungry. Thank you. Turn up the voltage in that lamp, chuke. Oh, and by the way, mr. Solo. Ive had the voltage turned up in that fence. So i wouount advice another attempt might kill you this time. Ill keep that in mind. [laughs] you have a fine cunning mind, mr. Solo. Thank you. And id like to keep it that way. Ah, well, im afraid, we are goininto have to tamper with it just a little bit, mr. Solo. brach after that youll solve this case for u. N. C. C. E. you will capture the person responsible for killing mr. Tenley and a a mber of other crimes. youll take this person back and hell confess to everything, if you know what i mean . brach then you will kill him when he attempts to escape. old chukie . No, no, no. Good boy, good boy. You know, im really, very fond of chuke but, uh. Yes, im afraid youre right. He is expendable. And i wonder how pleased chuke will be . Oh, quite pleased. His brain is being adjusted by operation like everyone elses here. brach he cant help doing exactly as i tell him. isnt that right, dr. Shtallmacher . Everyone here has had the operation and everyone obeys without question. brach and so will you in due time, mr. Solo. hm. And all the politicians, military officers, scientists diplomats. And all the human time capsules you have set up all over the world. Yes, thats very good. Time capsules. Yes. brach waiting to explode at the command of thrush. oh, dont be afraid, dont be afraid. The same stuff that the indian used on me. Exactly. Mrs. B bnel, your arm . [shouting] take care of mrs. Karda. What . Alright, take me first doctor. [exhalal] guards guards, help no alright, order them to open up the gate and let us go. No. Understand . Tell em. solo tell em not to follow us. dont follow them. Ah please, can we stop . Alright, just for a minute, theyll be after us soon. The drug has probably worn off brach by now. Oh, whwh is in this world that makes a man like brach . I dont know. Sometimes it starts with a very sincere driving ambition. Some people find other values. My grandfather, for instance. He was a brilliant lawyer in a small country town. They got many lucrative offers from wall street but he had only one goal in lili. That was to go quail hunting, every september. And i thought that he was a very successful man. Because he went quail huhuing . Yeah. Because he used to stop by the side of the road and smell the flowers along the way. Come on, we better get going. solo looks like our guests arrived early. chris what do we do now . oh, we better find another approach. Huh good day, mr. Solo . Well, uh, nice to see you again, colonel. As a matter of fact, i was just saying mr. Solo, move. Im sorry, mr. Solo, but you simply cant go. You havent sese, dr. Shtallmacher, yet. Sorry. Slipped my mind. Get into the car, please. Im afraid we have a new problem to resolve. Who am i to take back with me now that chuke has been eliminated . Oh well, i could say, dr. Shtallmacher but hes still too valuable to us. Im afraid that leaves only mrs. Karda here. solo now you wouldnt want me to, uh, capture someone and just. Kill them, would you . yes, it will be. Mrs. Karda. i really dont have any choice. after ive taken her prisoner, at what point do i kill her, exactly . Your newly adjusted brain will d dtate that, mr. Solo. Well, you dont have any. Diabolical plan, do you . solo like a long. Slow, painful death. come, come, youre trying my patience. brach i might become irrational and throw you to those veve hungry sharks out there. youll merely put a bullet in her brain. [dramatic music] e to my car, please. To my car, please. [brach shouting] take me to the car. take me to the car. Not this way. Stop that. His charts were very bad today. Pisces was in a terrible position. I would say that was rather disloyal of you, mrs. Karda. Now perhaps, the brain operation didnt take on you. Dr. Shtallmacher spared me the operation. I convinced him it was unnecessary. Hm, well, that must have taken some convincing. Not really. Alright. Ill accept that. Would you care to join us on a cruise back to u. N. C. L. E. . What cruise, mr. Solo . Well, here we go again. Uh, colonel, im a little, uh, short of cash here. Cant i just call david . It wont be much longer. The debriefing of brachs list, all finished . Not by half. Its an astonishing list of names. Scientists, lawyers, writers, even a congressman. Oh i think we are clear with you now, mrs. Brinel. You cacago home. Except for one proviso. Of whats happened to you. Not even to your husband. Since hes already received a note explaining your absence as goingngway to think through your marriage. Perhaps it will be best if you simply stuck to that cover. But thats exactly what i have done. Gone away for two days to think through my marriage. And come to a decision . Yes. Im ready to go wherevev he goes. Im even going to tell him about your grandfather. R even umpiring Little League games. Thats just fine by me too. Thank you, napolean. Thank you, mrs. Brinel. And. Dont forget to smell the flowers along the way. According to your records, one of your grandfathers was an admiral, the other was an ambassador. Hm, strange. Perhaps it was another grandfather. . .
