Mission Impossible (1966) s06e07 Episode Script

Too bad.
All this destruction could've been avoided if old man Geary hadn't been so stubborn.
I'll see him this afternoon, offer him the partnership arrangement again.
Only this time, I'm going to, uh, change the terms, Frank.
instead of 60/40.
Take Dekker with you.
You know what to do if there's any trouble.
Right, Mr.
Brady, I know.
Let's go.
Bolin! Come on! Almost finished! Okay, everybody out.
Mr.
Thomas? - No, Mr.
Thomas is out of town until next week.
Maybe you can help me-- I'm from the Bureau of Safety.
Oh, I see.
You'll find everything you need in there on the counter.
Good morning, Mr.
Phelps.
Conventional law enforcement agencies have been unable to prevent Frank Brady and his immediate subordinate, Martin Stoner, from successfully using terror tactics to force legitimate businessmen all over the southwest into secret partnerships with the underworld.
As a result, tens of millions of dollars are now flowing through Brady's organization into the Syndicate.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to prevent further violence, and to get the evidence we need to stop Brady and Stoner for good.
This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.
Good luck, Jim.
Lois Stoner, Martin Stoner's wife.
Frank Brady's hated her for years.
He's gonna hate her a lot more.
Any particular problems, Casey? Well, every alcoholic has an individual behavior pattern.
I'm beginning to get the hang of Lois, but um, there's no substitute for personal observation.
How long has Lois Stoner been drowning herself in alcohol, Casey? Well, ever since her husband joined Brady's organization.
She couldn't accept it, but she couldn't quite make a clean break.
So she started drinking and picking up strange men wherever she could find them.
Everything's set at Cumberland.
Our people will be getting there tonight.
I'm all set, too, Jim.
My "record" was planted today.
Good, Willie.
Now, before he died, Bolin told the police that Brady's arson squad was up to something big.
You have to find out what and make sure it doesn't come off.
How many business outfits has Brady penetrated for the Syndicate? We're not sure, Barney-- that's why we have to find and get our hands on the files that Stoner microfilmed.
They'll not only help to hang Stoner and Brady, they'll give us the information we need to clean the Syndicate out of all legitimate business in that whole region.
You know, I feel kind of sorry for Lois Stoner.
Is there anything we can do to help her, Jim? Yeah, there sure is, Casey.
We can put her husband and Frank Brady behind bars.
I think you need a refill.
Why not? On the rocks, with an olive.
Bartender? - Uh, yes, sir? Another drink for the lady, please.
Right there.
We're in for 70°/o of the action.
Unfortunately, Dekker had a little workout.
The old man was stubborn.
Mm-hmm.
Everything ready for the next hit? I need a man to replace Bolin.
Find him.
- It's a big job.
I don't want another clinker that's gonna end up dead.
I'll leave it up to you.
You're new around here, aren't you? I'm just in town on business.
I knew that.
I knew that, because you see, this is sort of my home away from home.
But, then, I have many, many, many homes away from home, because change in decor sets my many moods.
I'll get you some.
Hello, honey.
My name's Russ, and I'd like to buy little old you a drink.
Listen, move along, junior, I'm busy.
Come on, don't be like that to old Russ.
Bartender.
I'm afraid you're a little late, pal-- get lost.
Would you mind? I was just gonna say the same thing about you, mister.
Now, come on, get lost.
Now, wait a minute.
Listen, you're terrific! I really - Let's get out of here.
Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
Sorry about the trouble, pal.
Well, that's perfectly all right.
Home.
Uh-huh.
Oh, uh, listen I'm not drunk, but somebody keeps moving the floor.
I have something - Ooh that will fix you.
Look.
Gee! Look what you have there! Look what I have there.
Goodness! Oh, heavens to Betsy! Well, absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
You know something, Paul? There's some people that you meet, and you just, uh, you like them right away, you know? You're special.
I don't know why, but you are.
Let's drink to it.
All right.
Cheers.
Mm! - Mm.
You all right? Mm-mm-hmm.
I'm anesthe um anesthe The pain of the world doesn't get me, right? - Mm, mm-hmm.
Oh, I live in this fantastic cocoon.
Sometimes there are things that are ugly.
My husband's a janitor.
Hmm? Yeah.
Janitor.
He's in charge of all the ugly things.
Come here.
Make me feel beautiful.
Make me feel beautiful.
Actually, uh Peter pickle pecked up a It was something.
Barney.
Casey.
Perfect.
This goes on Brady's desk.
Right.
Take good care of her.
The sooner we get her to the sanitarium, the better off she'll be.
- Right.
You know, Frank, I think we're sending too much money back east.
I mean, we're the ones that are making this thing work.
Don't be greedy, Martin, it doesn't pay.
What's the matter, boys? You look like you got caught with your fingers in the till.
Isn't somebody gonna offer me a drink? Lois, we're busy.
Come on, boys! You've already stolen everything there is to steal.
Have a drink.
Martin, get rid of her.
Get rid of her, Martin.
Just, uh, sweep her underneath the rug.
You know, Martin, you're a janitor.
Lois, come on.
No! See, Martin, maybe you have to do everything Mr.
Brady says to do, but I don't.
Nope.
Because this is what I think of Mr.
Brady! And this is what I think of Mr.
Brady's organization! If you don't like it, Brady, you can always call a cop.
You drunken tramp.
Give me back my life! Just give it Frank, she's drunk.
She doesn't know what she's doing.
She's always drunk! Krone, take her home.
No, Martin, please.
Please, come home with me, Martin, please.
Let's get out of here before it's too late, Martin.
We really could try again.
We could-- Take your hands off me, you slimy pig! Stop it! Oh, I've had it, Martin.
I've had it up to here.
I'll take care of it, Frank.
If she was my wife She's mine! She hates you, Martin! She's wild, and she's crazy! What if she decides to talk to a D.
A.
, huh?! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Hope I haven't kept you waiting too long.
Now this is a briefing, not a rehearsal.
What we have to convey, more than anything else, is a sense of spontaneity.
Martin, I'm sorry about what happened.
You You're not too angry, are you? No, not at all.
Oh.
You try something like that again, and I'll take you apart.
You understand me? All I want is the way it was.
I don't want it like this.
Lois, I've put up with you too long.
Oh, Martin, please.
I-I'll change.
I-I swear I'll change.
What are you going to do?! Cut it down to two quarts a day? No, no, uh Now, M-- now, Martin, please, listen to me, okay? Uh, th-there's a a place that I can go to.
It's-it's an institution called-- No, Martin, please, listen.
It's-it's an institution called Cumberland, and they, they take people like-like me, and, well, you-you work in group encounters and you, you talk out your problems.
And they they work miracles.
It would take a miracle.
Martin please, let me try.
Please, just give me a chance.
Please.
Martin, don't say no, please.
Please, please.
Hello.
Oh, yeah, Frank.
Hello.
I am doing something about it, Frank.
I'm, uh shipping her out for a cure.
A place, uh, called Cumberland.
Cumberland, yeah.
I'm warning you, Martin! She's on borrowed time! Dekker, you're going out to a place called Cumberland.
Lois Stoner doesn't know you.
That way, you can keep an eye on her.
If she steps out of line once, we make sure she doesn't come back.
Pleasure, Mr.
Brady.
She's got them.
Now all we have to do is make sure they try to kill her.
Yeah, what is it? Frank Brady.
Who wants to see him? Steve Bolin.
Mike's brother.
Just a minute.
Frank, if she gets hold of herself, she won't give us any more trouble.
We'll see.
There's a guy here who wants to see you.
Says he's Mike Bolin's brother.
Get rid of him.
He isn't here.
I'll wait.
Get lost.
Which one's Brady? I'm Brady.
What do you want? So you're the guy that let my kid brother roast.
That was an accident.
Accidents don't happen.
Unless the man in charge is a slob.
Is that your gun, Krone? Taking it out on me is not gonna bring your brother back.
What do you want? Money? Mike was sending home a couple of bills a week.
Okay.
Here's a thousand.
Call it an insurance policy, huh? Now, why don't you be nice and give that gun back? Where you from? Detroit.
How long you gonna be in town? I don't know.
It depends.
Hmm.
Tell you what I'll do.
Why don't you get a room on me at the Falkner Hotel, okay? Maybe in a couple days, I'll have something for you.
That way, you can send money home again.
Detroit, huh? See what you can find out about him.
Mr.
Talbert? Yeah.
- I'm Mark Strater.
Uh, you wanted to see me? Uh, yes.
I'd, uh, like to join your group.
I see your first session's this morning.
Yes, that's right.
Um, what made you choose my particular group? Well, I don't know much about group encounter, and, uh, I asked around, and they said yours would be one of the best.
Uh-huh.
Well, you'll have to fill out an application.
I'll see if I can work you in.
What's with the red tape? I thought you were here to help people.
Okay, come on.
I'll do my best for you.
- Thank you.
When you freeze, you shouldn't sweat, right? I mean, there's some kind of scientific law involved there.
And if there isn't, there should be.
Uh, what is this place? Westfield Sanitarium, Mrs.
Stoner.
Sanitarium? Huh.
I should have known it.
You go to a hotel room with a nice-looking young man, and where do you wind up? In a sanitarium.
It's just like my mother always told me.
All right, now I want you to close your eyes.
Come on, close your eyes.
Nobody's gonna bite.
Now, when I tell you, I want you to start moving around the room until you come in contact with someone else.
When you do-- Close them up, Lois.
All right.
When you do, I want you to examine that person's face with the tips of your fingers.
Just the tips of your fingers.
The mouth, the nose, eyes, forehead, everything.
All right, let's start moving.
Go ahead.
See, tactile impressions offer us a whole new dimension about other people.
When you see someone with your eyes, you absorb an impression, but you don't really feel anything.
And that's what you're doing now.
You are seeing people in a whole new totally different way-- by touch.
Why are we doing this? Well, it broadens our awareness, our understanding of people.
I don't like the man I'm touching.
Why not? I don't know.
Well, now, with your eyes closed, you can't really tell anything more than the fact that he's a man.
Do you, uh, dislike all men? No.
Are you sure? Of course I'm sure.
My fingers ache.
I'll have a look and see who it is, anyway.
I'm sorry.
I don't even know you.
I don't know why I I'm sorry.
Steve Bolin.
One to five, burglary.
One to ten years, armed robbery.
Three to five, arson.
Ten arrests, four convictions.
Very solid young man.
I would say so.
Talk to him.
Now, listen.
Uh uh, please, try and understand what I'm telling you.
Uh I don't just drink.
I'm an alcoholic.
Alcoholic, my foot.
You just don't have any willpower.
You sure are a bitter old broad.
Don't you talk to me like that boy.
Okay, you, you're always staring at me.
What's on your mind? Maybe I like your face.
I don't like yours.
Tell him, Lois.
Tell him.
Now, that's right.
Keep it going, Lois.
Uh well, it, uh, he just reminds me of the men that are around my husband.
Your husband? Mm-hmm.
What does your husband do? What difference does it make? Are you ashamed of something? What is it? Listen, I don't have to come here to get tortured, you know.
It's getting ridiculous.
Okay.
Who's got the drink? It's open.
You Bolin? - Yeah.
I'm the guy who let your brother roast.
That's what you told Brady.
I was a little hot under the collar.
I feel better now.
For a grand, you feel better.
That's brotherly love, huh? Look I need bread.
If that's what you're here for, fine.
If not, get out.
I don't like a man with a grudge.
No grudges.
Can you handle C-4? Sure.
What are you after, heavy machinery? You'll find out.
Just stick here Friday night.
We'll call you and let you know where to meet us.
Hello? Yeah, Willie.
Right.
Friday night.
Explosives.
Probably some kind of heavy machinery.
Then I'll cure myself tomorrow.
I want to get outta here.
You don't have any right to keep me.
- Lie down! You don't have the right to keep me here! Calm down, Mrs.
Stoner.
Listen.
Doctor, please listen to me.
I really can't stay here.
Please, please.
- All right, Mrs.
Stoner.
No one's going to hurt you.
You're all gonna kill me.
You're all gonna kill me.
Doctor, please get me a drink.
I need a drink.
I'll do anything for a drink.
Loosen up, Paul.
Don't be so tight.
I've never hit anybody in my whole life.
You wish you were holding a stick now, don't you? You said it.
I didn't.
All right, none of you are really expressing yourselves.
You're all trying too hard, or not hard enough.
She's right, Paul.
Loosen up.
Let it come out.
Let it come out for you.
Come on, Lois, let's see.
You're playing patty-cake.
I want you, when you hit him, if you intend to let him know how you feel, then let it out.
Let out all of the hostilities that you want to give him, that you want him to know about.
Ooh! I'm sorry.
I just, uh I just, uh I just want to kill somebody.
All right, Lois.
Joe, will you let me have that? Yeah, you do.
Take one of these, Lois--- and use it.
- Oh! No, no.
You were so close, so very close to letting it all out, and I want you to do it.
You can do it this way.
You take that and just let this be the object of your hate or whatever it is that you want.
Take it out there.
I know you can do it.
Now try it.
Try it.
Well, that's not someone who wants to kill.
Hit it, Lois.
Now.
I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you, you slimy coward! Ow! It's all right, Lois.
Please don't cry.
Oh, I'm all I'm all right.
I'm all right.
Uh I'm all right.
Who is it you're hitting, Lois? It's everything.
Everything you hate? Yeah.
I don't think it's everything you hate.
I think it's someone, some one person you hate.
Tell us about it, Lois.
I Look, I I think you're all my friends, but, you see, this involves my husband and, uh what he does and the people he associates with and I can't.
I just I want to, but I-I just, I can't.
Now, listen, you've mentioned your husband several times.
Could you Could you tell him? Could you talk to him? Maybe.
All right, I want you to.
Now, look, you sit there.
Now here sits your husband.
And I want you to tell him everything you feel.
You can do it, and I know you can.
What's his first name? Martin.
This is Martin, here in the chair, and I want you to talk him.
Now, tell him.
Martin, this is really hard for me, because, uh I kept everything inside for so long, but I'm not drunk now.
I don't think I'm ever going to be drunk again.
You see, I can face myself now, and that means that I can face what you are, and what you do, but don't you see? Unless you can face it, too everything's just finished between us.
I mean, there's no use pretending.
I- I just can't pretend.
You're just as twisted and corrupt as the people that you work with, and unless you face that, everything between us is finished.
I mean, you were such a brilliant lawyer once, but you sold out, and now your whole life is about breaking the law, and, Martin, working with those people, they're sub-human.
Listen, they're killers.
They kill to get what they want.
Martin I know about Friday night.
I know about the killing.
I know about the destruction.
Listen, do we have to listen to this?! Why don't you want to listen to it?! It's because you're a killer.
I knew it when I saw you.
You're a killer! Shut up! I'm sorry.
Wait, man! No, let him go.
Ow You all right, Casey? Yeah.
It's crazy, Frank.
I never told her about Friday.
Then how'd she know? Some wild thing.
She pulled it out of the air.
What do I do? That should be obvious.
Hey, Frank She's my wife.
What is that supposed to mean? Huh? Go ahead.
Tell me you love her.
Let's hear some of that prize courtroom oratory in her defense.
Well, I'm waiting, Stoner.
Plead for her life! Kill her.
How are you going to do it? Don't worry, Mr.
Stoner.
I've got it all worked out.
He's over there-- by the bulletin board.
No action.
Yet.
Hello? Lois, I'm in my cabin.
I need your help-- badly.
All right.
I'll be right there.
Evie? Where's Dekker? Gone! Left after the first shot.
Take care of him.
Casey? You all right? I think so.
Doesn't look too bad.
How's the pain? It's okay, Jim.
I think it's mostly surprise right now.
I guess I I guess I never really expected to get shot.
Jim.
We need Dr.
Adams, Smitty.
I'll show you.
I thought you were going to call.
I've been waiting here all night.
We're moving earlier than I figured.
Come on.
Let's go.
Nothing seriously wrong with her, Jim.
Naturally being a doctor, I'd prefer to play it safe and put her into bed for a couple of days.
But that's not what we're going to do, Dr.
Adams.
Jim, I feel fine.
Let's go on with the job, huh? All right, Casey.
Let me bandage that.
Oh, no, no bandage.
Okay? Yeah, fine, Casey.
Where's Willie, Jim? He'll call Cumberland as soon as he finds out where he's supposed to meet Brady's men.
Joe will relay the call to me.
That takes care of the silent alarm.
Let's get the C-4 laid out.
Hello.
Anything from Willie? Not word one.
Then he's on his own.
She's gone.
Hit me over the head.
How long? About an hour.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right.
We've got to find her before she can contact her husband.
They got Krone and Carey.
It was a setup.
Somebody did some talking.
Stoner's wife.
All right, she probably did enough talking so somebody put it all together, She's got to be hit.
So does Stoner.
Stoner? Yeah.
He probably tipped someone up in Cumberland.
That's why Albie couldn't do the job.
All right, if he cares more about her than he does us, okay.
I'll take care of it.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Let me do it.
I need the dough, besides they won't be expecting it from me.
All right, Bolin, you got it.
Martin, Martin, Martin.
Martin-- - What is it? Somebody tried to kill me.
What are you talking about? Oh, uh, yesterday at Cumberland, somebody tried to shoot me.
Lois, you're not making any sense.
That was meant for me.
Brady's men.
Brady? Then, he's trying to kill both of us.
I've got to get out of here, out of town.
No.
Look, there has to be something else you can do.
We can't run forever.
I don't know why he's turned on me, but I know Brady, he'll keep coming back.
You could threaten to go to the police and tell them everything you know about his organization.
He's too smart to swallow that.
He knows I'm not going to let myself in for a long prison term.
Look, there has to be something you can hold over his head.
No, nothing.
Martin, you run his business for him.
You know all of his secrets.
There has to be something.
Yeah, maybe maybe there is something I can do.
Martin.
Martin, take me with you.
Please.
Wait, don't leave me, Martin.
Please don't leave me alone here.
Martin! They're dead.
Both of them.
Uh, hello.
Uh, this is Lois Stoner.
Is my husband there? I've already called the office and I called the house, and Hello? Hello? Hello? Stoner's wife.
She's not dead.
But he said Bolin didn't kill them.
Pardon me, bartender.
Yes, sir.
Have you seen Mrs.
Stoner? Not for a couple of days.
Try the Blue Lantern, right around the corner.
If she's not here, she's there, Thank you.
I'll take that.
No more.
I don't want to go back.
Mrs.
Stoner? Please, help me.
I will.
