It's in deep jungle.

The only way in or out is by river.

They've been loading bales of stuff all day.

I'm going to try and get inside.

It's raw opium.

I found out they've been taking it out.

It hollowed torpedoes aboard a submarine. That's why the Coast Guard

picked them up before.

Make sure the ship is on time, Paul.

The two men obviously in charge of the operation.

And I swear, one of them is the prince.

Prince Solomon.

I'm going in for a closer look. Over.

Thank you.

Paul.

The submarine has monitored a low -band radio broadcast nearby.

We're being watched.

Up there.

You know what to do.

It stands that the fort was built to repel the Russians in the Crimean War.

That's right.

But the Russians didn't come.

So these guns were never fired in anger.

They're like news.

Take a look at that one over there.

Good morning, Jim. What you're looking at is a signet ring with the embossed

design of a cobra.

It is the symbol and passkey of an organization known as Golden Serpent, a

notorious Southeast Asian triad. The Golden Serpent has expanded its

drug smuggling operations and uses the revenue from drugs to gain control over

third world nations.

We've already lost the leader of another IM team to the Golden Serpent.

But one of that team has managed to infiltrate and gain the trust of the

organization and has remained undetected for almost three months.

While the identity of the man who heads the Golden Serpent is still unknown, our

agent has been working for its most important member, Prince Solomon, ruler

the small Southeast Asian country of Benarli.

The enormous cash flow from his drug -running operation is essential to the

Golden Serpent. Without it, they would be unable to operate.

Your mission, Jim.

should you choose to accept it, is to bring the Prince and the leader of the

Golden Serpent to justice and to obtain details of their international

distribution network.

We believe the Golden Serpent ring may be the key to that information.

As always, should you or any of your IM team be caught or killed, the Secretary

will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

Prince Solomon of Benarli.

Our psychiatrists tell us he's a classic and very dangerous sociopath and has

been since childhood.

Wasn't he one of the set of twins?

Yes. His brother was born just three minutes ahead of him, thereby becoming

heir to the throne.

Now, when the boys were nine years old, they went swimming in a river, and the

older brother was drowned.

And Solomon was expected of being responsible, but was all hushed up. Was

brother's body ever recovered?

No. And Solomon lives with the fear today that his brother will come back

take revenge and try to claim his rightful throne.

And it is that fear we plan to take advantage of. Yes.

Now, the Golden Serpent Triad owns the island itself, but the house was built

for the prince solely to serve as the Benarli consulate. As a cover for their

drug -refining activities, right?

Exactly. And I think it's a fair bet that also hidden somewhere in the island

are all of the records of the whole drug -running network.

That looks like a $20 million house.

The golden serpent treats its employees well.

Now, according to IM Computer Research, every month they deposit $1 million into

his bank account for his services in taking care of those drugs. How do we go

after this guy?

Lay both ends against the middle.

Make the prince think the golden serpent is trying to get rid of him.

And we make the golden serpent think the prince is going to the business for

himself. Well, Grant has made some entree cards that'll help us make

Speaking of cards, we do have one ace up our sleeve.

The undercover agent who's penetrated the Prince's operations.

Quiet! The shipment is coming in.

In the room!

Do you know what this is, Paul?

Wealth and power.

What are few miserable lives compared to that?

Yes?

I'm scrambling.

The shipment will be ready by morning.

You can sail then.

Your money will be paid in the usual way.

His Royal Highness has a shipment for us.

I'll hand the distribution to the usual channels.

I like your new toy.

So do I.

Another family affair.

Jim here?

It will be.

Pretty girl over there?

Shannon. Could you see that the prince got this?

And, uh, tell him that it's very important.

Yes, ma 'am.

He's on the team.

That's Brent's signal. Time to party.

How do you use this thing?

I built the prototype when you were in preschool.

The prince wants the shipment out tomorrow.

It will be packed by midnight.

Good.

You have quite an unusual way of introducing yourself.

Well, I have to get your attention, Johannes.

Why? To keep you alive.

I appreciate that, really. And what must I do for you in return?

Nothing. I just couldn't let it happen.

I couldn't be a party to murder.

Anybody there?

Hello?

Below tomorrow at dawn.

Be ready.

Yes, sir.

You are suggesting someone's going to murder me?

Who?

Let's just say that your brother is involved.

My brother? My brother is dead.

No. No, they're using him.

Too many... Oh, my God!

Who are those men?

Highness, you have a great island here.

I'm glad you like it. Excuse me. Like it?

I want to buy it.

Name your price, Highness.

We will do business.

The island is not for sale. Now get out of my way!

I

want

her followed, Bald.

I want to know who she is.

And those two.

Check them out.

I think we've got the prince's attention.

I thought you should see it immediately, Highness.

I think our friend Collier may be a spy.

Find him.

And get Paul.

The drops?

contract the muscles of the eyelids, so he's unable to close them.

What we're about to do, Hymis, is project a laser beam through the cornea

each eye.

The laser will penetrate into the deep processes of the brain, directing images

straight into the cerebellum.

If you watch the screen, you'll be able to see the full effect.

There's no visible damage to the brain, not immediately.

First symptoms are disorientation and nausea, then excruciating pain.

Ingenious.

Will he go mad or simply die?

It's impossible to tell, Heinen.

Do you hear that call you?

Death or madness?

It's not a pleasant choice.

You talk to us.

I work for the golden serpent.

Who do I? We all work for him.

They don't trust you.

You liar!

It's true!

They sent me here to watch you.

Fool! Who doesn't trust me, Collier?

He's only fainted, Highness.

I will revive him.

The white -haired man.

Have you checked him out?

Yes, Highness.

His name is James Stryker.

He's a banker from the Consul National Bank of Zurich.

And the one who was with this banker?

His name is Nicholas Cortez. He's been indicted twice for drug running, but no

verdict's ever been obtained against him. I don't like that connection, Ball.

What of the girl?

She was followed to a mainland hotel.

She's registered as Shannon Purcell.

There are many questions here, Collier, to which you may have the answers.

Make him talk.

I was expecting you guys an hour ago.

We'll follow it. When do you and Max go in? Dad figures the best time is just

after dawn.

What about the guard?

The darts are a crystallized version of the gas we use in our knockout cans.

It causes unconsciousness and a total loss of memory for 24 hours.

That ought to do the job.

Bonnie's cordon. It's led me right to the spot There's an underwater passage

leading into the grotto, but it's blocked off by a steel grill. That'll

care of the grill I hope so if we don't make the switch now the whole missions

in jeopardy. Hey, you'll do it.

I Wouldn't like to be there when the Prince's employer tests his new

I had to break this up, but I'm running late for my date with Shannon Coming

right up

or his long -lost twin brother.

I don't want anything from you.

You'll do whatever.

Stand back.

All right.

You lost

them.

You fool.

She went to her room.

We're not here.

Yes, sir.

You're not caught the problem.

Jim. Yes, Nicholas.

It's heavy. Just grab Shannon.

Good. It's working.

She plays the cards right. She might get the royal treatment.

You better get on down here. We're ready to go.

Right.

This is as close as we dare get.

will open the gate at exactly 8 a .m.

After that, we're on our own.

He's not going to be able to tell us anything, Highness. His heart is

fibrillating. What does that mean?

He's dying, Highness.

The doctor might be able to save him.

I need him.

If he dies, so do you.

What the hell have they done?

Son, the heroin.

Make the switch.

We're going to get you out of here.

Make the switch.

Go on.

You'll be okay.

He's tough.

I'm going to get him out of here.

I really don't know who this is.

My brother drowned when we were nine years old.

Swimming accidents.

The river swept him away.

Well, that's not how Jahani tells it.

Jahani?

That is his name, isn't it?

And he certainly looks like you.

How did he plan to kill me?

All I know is that they plan on doing it soon.

Who's behind it?

If I tell you that, then they'll kill me. And if you don't, Ball will do the

for them.

And I would find that a great pity.

Now tell me what you know.

Get out of here.

You're going to have to help me with that.

He's in no shape to do it.

We've got no screw gear for him.

And he can use mine and you can take him out.

Get the stuff into the water.

Yeah.

I want your guarantee of protection.

That can be arranged.

We leave for Sydney this afternoon.

You'll be one of a number of women aboard my yacht.

But none will be as beautiful as you.

Now tell me.

Well, they never discussed things much when I was around.

But one time, Jahani had been drinking.

He said that they wanted to help him get his throne back.

By killing me?

Yes.

He said something about a snake.

A golden serpent.

We're going to finish what you started, Dad.

Now we're going to get you out of here.

I'm afraid not, son.

Come on, Ben.

You can't just give up, all right?

I'm sorry, son.

I don't want you sorry.

Hey.

Dad.

Oh, come on, Ben.

Don't do it. Don't die.

All right.

Dad.

If they catch us here, the mission's blown.

Tell the mission.

He'd do the same in your place.

He wouldn't leave me. He would.

He'd have to.

He'd do his job.

He did that to Kalia?

He must have been trying to escape.

Let's cut off the laser.

Well, switch it on!

We'll be out of date.

Jim, do you read me?

Yes, Shannon.

He's setting a course towards Sydney.

Prince has some type of function at the opera house.

Has the shipment come on board?

It's being loaded now.

What are you doing?

Oh, damn it.

What was that?

My compact.

You startled me and I dropped it.

I'll replace it.

Shannon's had to break off. Anyway, the prince is on his way to Sydney by sea.

That'll give us time to fly down and get set up.

Father was my best friend.

I knew him for 20 years.

Well, you were the lucky one.

He was my father, and I saw him maybe one whole week every year of my life.

Well, that's the job he had to do.

Yeah.

The job took his life.

Not just today.

Before I was even born.

There was nothing left.

Nothing for my mom, nothing for me.

Mission took everything.

Nobody took anything from Barney.

He gave it.

He gave everything he had for his country and for your mother and for you.

think most of all, he gave it for you.

I hope you'll think of him that way.

And have faith.

Is there something we can do?

Sydney Opera House, scheduled for the 25th.

A reception.

On behalf of the International Bureau of Drug Rehabilitation.

Guest of honor and keynote speaker is the great philanthropist and

Prince Solomon.

Benarli.

You can't be serious.

You've never been more serious in my life.

The prince has arrived.

Okay, Graham, we're almost finished.

The prince has been sighted.

I hope he enjoys his woman.

This remote control will set off the squibs that Max and Nicholas have laid

Timing will be critical.

All you have to do is touch the button.

It'll transmit a signal to Max.

Then he'll start firing for effect.

Yeah.

Are you holding up?

I wish Max wasn't firing blanks.

If it's any consolation to you, Grant, we're going to get these people.

We're going to get them.

How's it going, Max?

The wind's making it tough.

We've still got some time before His Highness is due to start his speech.

I should be in position in about ten minutes.

All right, good.

Hey, listen, once you've been seen, you should have plenty of time to make your

getaway. Right.

Thank you.

It's very nice of you to come.

Thank you.

Good work, Max.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please may I have your attention.

We are here today to honor not only a patron of the arts, but a humanitarian.

And not for himself, but for others less fortunate.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Prince Belliman of Senal.

Thank you for your warm welcome.

I feel privileged to stand before this magnificent structure and tell you that

all proceeds from today's production will be marked for drug rehabilitation.

Whatever efforts can be made to assist those unfortunate victims of drug

addiction.

Those unfortunate

young victims.

We'll head it your way. 10 o 'clock.

Better get going.

What about Max? There must be something we can do. No, there's nothing we can do

if you don't.
