Mission Impossible (1966) s04e18 Episode Script

Good morning, Mr.
Phelps.
General Aragas, regent of the Kingdom of Sardia, plans to murder young King Victor and make it appear that the boy's uncle, Grand Duke Clement of Montego, was responsible for the crime.
By disposing of the royal family in this way, General Aragas will make himself permanent ruler and embark on a course of international adventurism that would engulf the whole region in war.
Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to stop Aragas.
As always, should you or any of your IM 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.
It's a well-organised smear campaign.
So far, Aragas' plan is working perfectly.
Duke Clement has been universally condemned.
Because he doesn't have any evidence to back him up, no one believes his story about abducting the boy to save his life.
How could Clement have blundered so? Actually, he didn't have a choice, Zorka.
His chief of security, Colonel Moya, had convinced him that Aragas was about to murder Victor.
What he doesn't know is that Moya is working for Aragas.
Suppose we told him.
No, Clement would never buy it, Willy.
He and Moya have been close friends for 20 years.
Doesn't Clement have any chance of getting the boy to accept his protection against Aragas? I'm afraid not, Paris.
Victor idolizes Aragas.
Here, look at these.
- Is the hay truck ready, Willy? - It will be, Jim.
Now, Aragas and Moya plan to have the boy killed here, well within the border of Montego, so that Duke Clement will be blamed for the crime.
We'll set up here, just outside the little town of Tortino.
Any timing problems on the gas, Barney? Not at all, Jim.
I have it rigged so they'll black out immediately on impact.
What about the warehouse? Right here.
The escape passage.
If anything goes wrong, that's our way out.
Jim, do you think we'll be able to control Victor? The boy's only 12 years old.
You'll have to, Paris.
- How about the gasoline truck? - Right here.
Weekly delivery.
There is no delivery today.
Delivery is on Thursday.
But your operations officer, Major Orlando, called and changed the day.
And he said you would have a written authorization.
There is no such authorization.
You will have to leave.
- But you are making a mistake.
- I said you will have to leave.
But Security.
Major Orlando here.
You were to have a written order this morning changing the petrol delivery schedule.
Yes, major.
Yes, of course.
You have been cleared.
Victor, I beg you again, do not go back.
Together we can appeal to the world for help against Aragas.
I need no help against Jefe.
It is you who kidnapped me.
It is you who are holding me against my will.
Your uncle loves you.
He is trying to save your life.
I'm not a child, Colonel Moya.
Don't smile.
A king must grow up quickly.
My uncle wants my throne.
And he must get Jefe out of the way before he can steal it.
Your jefe has taught you only distrust and hatred.
No, uncle.
He's taught me to know my friends from my enemies, and you are not my friend.
What route have you chosen to the border? We are being very careful not to allow any opportunity for ambush.
We will pass through the mountain village of Tortino.
And then we will continue along this very sparsely travelled road to the border.
They will come along this road.
The actual killing will be done by Moya's men, stationed here, eight kilometres past Tortino.
Major Forano here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
One moment, Your Majesty.
Victor.
Victor, are you all right? He is going to let me go.
Yes, Jefe, today.
I have so much to tell you.
Yes, Jefe.
Goodbye.
A warning from Jefe, if any harm comes to me, there will be immediate retaliation.
I'm ready.
I pray that I am wrong.
I pray that I am not sending you to your death.
Goodbye, Victor.
As soon as I am safe, Jefe will invade Montego.
Historically speaking, Montego should be a part of Sardia anyway.
Now, Jefe, at last, will have a chance to reabsorb it.
Jim.
Captain Serra, good to see you again.
All the necessary arrangements have been made in Tortino, including those with Dr.
Leone.
Good.
After you have taken care of the boy, kill the driver and the guard.
This way, Clement cannot blame that on Moya.
It occurs to me that Clement may have just been misguided.
If there is no further trouble before I reach the border, perhaps I can convince Jefe to be merciful.
And if there is further trouble, Your Majesty? Jefe will punish you.
Your Majesty, I am not afraid of Jefe.
- Then you are a fool.
If I report - You will report nothing.
You little fool, did you really think you were going to get out of this alive? I don't understand.
The little king does not understand.
Here they come.
Where am I? What is this place? I'm Dr.
Leone.
You are in Tortino.
- You are a very fortunate man.
- You were thrown from the car.
Yes, there was a crash.
A terrible crash.
I don't The guard and the other soldier are dead.
And the boy? Where is the boy? Boy, Colonel Moya? What boy? You saw no boy? - No.
- No, colonel.
- You must not excite yourself.
- Get out of my way.
This is Colonel Moya.
Put me through to Unit 1623.
Mestovo.
There was an accident.
The boy escaped.
All units must be alerted immediately, and the border must be closed.
You understand? Attention all units.
King Victor is missing in the vicinity of Tortino.
All vehicles in the area are to be stopped and searched.
Repeat.
All vehicles in the area are to be stopped and searched.
Little gachó, you're back with us again, huh? Who are you? What is this place? I am Django.
This is Zorka.
This place is a truck.
It is also our home.
- What are you doing to my head? - Oh, it's a salve.
Very good.
Made from the brains of magpies.
- Made from what? - For your illness.
When we found you in the forest you were shouting that you were King Victor and the police were trying to kill you.
I am King Victor and the police are trying to kill me.
Poor little gachó.
Yes, here, drink this.
- For my illness? - Yes, I made it myself from the powder of dried beetles.
Then you are ill, not me.
Django, why do you think I'm wearing this uniform? You can wear whatever you want.
- Do you ever listen to the radio? - Oh, yes, yes.
Then you must have heard how Duke Clement kidnapped King Victor.
Yes, we have heard.
Have you ever seen pictures of King Victor? Of course, many times.
Look at me closely, both of you.
Well? It could very well be.
Yes, it might be.
Django, Zorka, help me.
And General Aragas will make you the richest gitanos in the world.
Is there any trace of the boy at all? No, no, not yet, Your Excellency, but my soldiers are searching all through the countryside.
Moya, you have seen me through many crises.
Do not fail me now.
I want every police unit and every soldier in this country looking for that boy.
Yes, Your Excellency.
We will find the boy, I guarantee it.
Don't you understand? If you don't get me across the border, Colonel Moya will kill me.
But, Your Majesty, it is not possible to get you across the border.
We must hide you here.
Django, the country is an armed camp.
Where will we hide him? Well, we'll hide him in the open.
He will become one of us.
We come, we go.
No one pays any attention.
Can you keep time? Yes.
Good.
You will go to the café with the others.
And I will go across the border alone and I will see your general and he is going to find a way to help you.
Yes? And to reward you.
All of you.
Stand up, please.
Very good.
What's good? What are you doing? They are looking for a boy.
You're going to become a girl.
- Excellent.
- Never.
- Your Majesty.
It is to save your life.
- I am a king.
I will not hide behind a woman's skirts.
You'll do as you must.
As we gitanos have done for centuries.
Here.
I will not wear a dress.
Your Majesty, you'll make a choice.
Either you will control your temper and wear these things or else we going to stop this truck and put you outside to take care of yourself.
Don't tell Jefe.
Nothing, either at the forest or at the mountains.
Nothing.
Well, obviously he has gotten out of this area.
- Thank you for your help.
- You are welcome, colonel.
I hope you find the boy.
You know the schedule.
Don't worry, I know how to break these men.
Hold still.
- Must you do this to me? - Yes, she must.
What a pretty little girl you would have made.
And here are your earrings.
- Earrings? - Earrings.
Yes, General Aragas.
No, we have not found him yet.
But he cannot escape us.
He had better not.
Everything depends on your finding him and killing him.
Yes, general.
Yes.
Concentrate your most trustworthy men in the capitol.
The boy knows I meant to kill him.
He must not get to Clement.
I understand, colonel.
The agreement was for yourself and two men.
I cannot use this little gitanilla.
Erdos, I have told you Django is ill.
How can you expect a sick man to work? I am very sorry.
I cannot use you.
What he really wants is to cut our price.
Very well, then, we'll work for one-fourth less.
You will work for one-half less, or you will not work at all.
- Agreed.
- Good.
And please, do something about her.
Make her look Make her look prettier.
Please.
- Perla, more rouge.
- No.
I say yes.
General, you're a very generous man.
I can see why the boy loves you so much.
Gypsy, I am waiting.
You come with me.
I will take you.
You will tell me now.
No, no, no.
It is not that I do not trust you, general.
But after all, you see, we gitanos, we must be very cautious to survive.
I take the money, I tell you where the boy is.
You kill me and you take back the money.
No, no, no.
I have a better way.
You come with me.
You get the boy.
I stay alive.
Impossible.
It is much too dangerous.
The general cannot go to Montego.
You have your problems, general, and I have mine.
At the moment, yours are much greater.
You are bargaining with the wrong man.
No, no, no.
No, I do not think so, general.
Because you see, I know that you love the boy and you want him very much.
You have no idea how much.
Forano, take him downstairs and show him.
General, you would not want any harm to come to the boy, huh? Are you threatening me? It is not an idle threat, general.
See, if anything happens to me, my friends, they will take the boy and they will sell him to Duke Clement.
And Duke Clement, he will kill him.
Yes, general.
Moya, the Gypsies have him.
Find him.
But be careful.
You make a mistake and they will sell him to Clement.
Yes, general.
When did they come? This morning.
From where? Who knows where Gypsies come from? Search all the buildings, huh? You know what we are looking for? The young king.
There is a very large reward, huh? You.
What is your name? I asked you your name.
- Perla, sir.
- Perla.
Well, Perla, by what route did you come into this town? Along the beach, sir.
Dirty child, look at me when I am speaking to you.
- I have to play.
- You are insolent.
- Look at me.
- Let go of me.
Colonel sir, has she offended you? Yes, she has.
Please forgive her, colonel sir, she is young.
You should be ashamed.
Apologise to the colonel.
I am sorry, sir.
Jefe will kill him.
Next.
Your hair needs combing.
The warehouse is clear.
Come.
It is not safe here.
- Will Jefe find us? - Django knows where to look for us.
The gitano is stubborn.
He told me nothing.
Bring him up.
No, general, but I can assure you it is only a matter of time.
Moya, time is one thing I do not have.
Do you understand? I know, general, but we are doing our best.
Moya, I have decided to come to Montego personally.
Meet me at the old military airfield.
- Yes.
- At 6:00.
General Aragas will be landing at the old military airfield at 6:00.
I am to meet him.
Yes.
Yes, captain.
Good.
Captain Serra broke the driver and the guard.
Got a full confession.
- He's bringing them into town.
- Good.
I was certain the moment I saw the hair move.
Little girl was a little boy.
And the boy can be no one else but King Victor.
Where are they now? I followed them to the Lubrosa Warehouse.
- Leave us.
- Colonel.
The money.
I was led to believe You will receive the money when we have the king.
Of course.
Yes, colonel.
You must find if the boy is at the warehouse without alerting the Gypsies.
Then contact me at the airfield.
- Yes, colonel.
- And, Mestovo, be careful, huh? - We cannot afford to lose them now.
- I understand, colonel.
It will never come off.
Here, Your Majesty, try this.
- What is it? - Cold cream.
- I use it myself all the time.
- Well, I don't.
Victor, I've found another way out of here for emergencies.
Come, I want to show you.
Yes, of course.
Colonel Moya here.
They are in the warehouse.
We have it surrounded.
Over here.
It leads to the old sewers.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Keep the warehouse covered until I arrive.
General.
It is all right, Django.
They are my friends.
I do not understand.
It is not important for you to understand.
Just take us to the boy.
Oh, no.
No, general.
We have an agreement.
I take you.
No one else.
We do not need him, general.
We have already located the boy.
Moya, are you certain of this? Absolutely, general.
He is in a warehouse in the city.
We have them surrounded.
Oh, this foolish talk.
General, he's lying.
You filth.
He is in the Lubrosa Warehouse and you know it.
Kill him.
General, general, general.
You're making a mistake.
You're making a terrible mistake.
General, I'm not stupid.
I would not allow them to be trapped this way, huh? You'll never find the boy without me.
There is a secret way out of the warehouse.
He is lying.
He's trying to save his life.
All right, Django.
I give you five seconds.
From the cellar, there is a way into the old sewers under the city.
- It is possible.
- Possible.
It is a fact.
You just try approaching my friends without me you're going to find out how much of a fact it is.
Perhaps.
We will take him with us.
Take them out.
I promised them their lives.
Yes.
I still find it very hard to grasp.
Moya and I have been like brothers for 20 years.
That's why we couldn't just tell you about Moya, Your Highness.
- You wouldn't have believed us.
- Yes, that's very true.
If the boy is safe, I will be eternally grateful to you.
Yes, he is safe in the Lubrosa Warehouse, under our protection.
Now, if it meets with your approval, this is the plan.
No one has come in or out.
No, no, no.
We must do nothing to alarm them.
Victor, it is I, Jefe.
- Jefe.
- Victor.
Jefe, we are down here.
Good.
I will send down the elevator, Victor.
You get on and come up.
Yes, Jefe.
Send it down.
- Come on.
- Just a minute, Victor.
Where is Django? You tell them everything is all right.
Run, Victor.
- Let me go.
- It's me Jefe, help me.
Jefe.
Jefe.
Jefe.
Let me go.
Jefe.
Let me go.
Jefe, here I am.
Jefe.
Jefe, here I am.
Jefe.
Victor.
Here I am, Jefe.
Jefe.
Victor.
Jefe.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Victor.
Let me go.
- Victor.
- Jefe.
Jefe.
Victor! - Jefe.
- Victor! Jefe, Jefe.
Jefe, here I am.
Hurry, Victor.
Jefe.
Hurry, Victor.
I am holding you for attempted murder and treason.
You will not succeed in this.
It does not matter what you say.
No one will believe you.
Victor, thank heaven you are safe.
Victor, there was someone behind you.
Believe me, this is a trick.
This is a despicable trick.
You tried to kill me.
