We go straight from the Palace of Nations to lunch with Chancellor Brooke,

Minister, followed by a press conference at the Embassy and then the reception

at the Goethe -Institut. Good.

I'm expected back in Bonn by noon tomorrow.

Will the EEC clarify their position during the talks?

The discussions will be informal, but we believe they will be the first step

towards a revised agreement that can greatly strengthen the EEC's position

trading -wise in the world. The outlook for the entire community depends

entirely upon all member states setting aside their differences.

The program I have designed should answer most of the objections that have

up progress to this day.

Now.

I say there's nothing simpler than shooting a sitting duck.

It's not as easy as it looks. Knock down any form, win a real trophy.

I'm aiming for a prize of a different kind.

Why don't you try that right over there?

Last year, there has been a succession of high -level assassinations around the

world. In each case, the assassin has been someone placed close to the victim.

Advisor, private secretary, government official.

Not one of these assassins has been interrogated because none has been

alive. All have died immediately after the killings.

The similarities between these events lead us to believe that one sinister

may be behind them all.

If this is so, then the world is now at the mercy of a killing technique with

the power to bypass even the tightest security measures now protecting heads

state. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to uncover this

deadly operation.

Put an end to it.

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 disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

Yes, for the next three days while it's closed to the public.

Grant's research into the lives of the assassins has come up with this one

factor they have in common.

Each of them at one time or another has been a patient in this establishment.

It's a private kind of exclusive stress clinic.

Also one of the most popular with rich and famous.

Some of the assassinations have happened in front of television news cameras.

I've analyzed all the tapes.

Check this out.

There.

Look at that face in the crowd.

Dr. Philip Westerly, owner and operator of the Westerly Stress Clinic.

Why would he go to Geneva to witness a crime?

Look again.

Here he is at the scene of that killing in Brussels.

And I've got two more.

And I don't believe in coincidence.

No, I don't either.

But before we do anything, we have to be absolutely certain.

We also have to act fast before another killing takes place.

Gentlemen, welcome to my auction.

Each of you has briefed me individually and in conditions of the utmost

security.

None of you knows the others, and I'm sure you prefer to remain so.

I'll refer to you by number.

And all you need to communicate to me are numbers.

Numbers of dollars, and of course the highest bidder wins my services.

Oh, I do remind you, gentlemen, this is your last opportunity for many months.

Frankly, I'm ready for a well -earned rest.

So.

Let us begin.

Who will make the opening bid?

Two hundred thousand.

Two hundred from number four. Now, no need, gentlemen, to mention the

That is understood.

Three hundred.

Three hundred fifty.

Three hundred fifty from number one.

Four hundred.

Four hundred fifty.

Five hundred fifty.

Oh, come on, gentlemen, this is not encouraging.

650.

My last contract was for 1 .2 million.

This is outrageous.

So is your particular assignment, number five. Are you dropping out?

800. A bargain, and you know it.

One million.

Now, we are doing business.

Relax, pal, take it easy.

This place ought to help people like me. Yeah, well, that's no answer to your

problem, sir. Give me that!

Give me that!

Westerly!

Westerly!

Westerly! I want to see Westerly! Now hold him. I'll phone the doc.

I want to see Westerly!

He says he's a journalist with Global Review magazine.

Needs treatment pretty bad.

Should be interesting. Look after him. I'll be there shortly.

This is borrowing. I'm afraid I'll have to skip lunch with your husband today.

Can you stay for a few days?

Both of you.

Well, I don't know if I can persuade him, Doctor.

He owes it to you, Mrs. Baldwin.

I'm an international journalist, and

I've been sidelined to Boston.

With a drinking problem?

New desk editor, Jack Skrinsky. It's impossible to work with.

It's you, Mr. Carmody.

If I'd done striking art, I'd be doing celebrity interviews in Boston.

There's nothing wrong with that, Mr. Carmody.

All kinds of important people come to Boston.

Please give me back to the international division where I belong.

Please, you've got to help me.

Everything is going to be all right, Mr. Carmody.

You're going to leave here a new man.

You mean that?

I promise you.

No, please, not.

No, we don't use drugs here, Mr. Carmody.

But you're badly debilitated due to the course of vitamins.

I have the perfect candidate.

So the lion will roar.

On the 22nd, I guarantee it.

West release chosen as assassin?

And he kills tomorrow.

The phone number he dialed was South African. A mobile phone reported stolen

days ago. There's just no way to trace that.

He's making another call.

Global Review Magazine.

Editorial department, please. Who are you calling?

Grinsky. One moment, please.

Jack Skrinsky.

I'd like confirmation that a journalist of yours, Brian Carmody, is now assigned

to Boston.

Yeah? What's your interest?

Well, he contacted me for an interview and I haven't heard from him since then.

That makes two of us, pal. I haven't heard from him either and he's three

overdue for his deadline.

Goodbye, Mr. Skrinsky.

So far, so good.

We can't risk contacting Nicholas from the outside anymore. You and Max better

check into the clinic today.

We're on our way, Jim.

Yes. Doctor, some new patients have arrived, but admitting doesn't have any

information on them.

I'll be right down.

I was expecting you, Mrs. Bowing, but not until tomorrow.

I'm desperate, Doctor.

I talked John into driving over today. Hey, come on.

Come on.

Before he lost several thousand more.

Hey, buddy.

Where's the nearest bar around here?

John.

You'll have to excuse me. A private treatment session.

A gifted journalist, but stressed out and having a problem with alcohol. It

with the territory, I'm afraid.

Ronald, take the bar wings up to the residential wing.

Thank you, Doc.

We'll meet later.

Follow me, please.

He was talking about Nicholas.

Mr. Carmody.

Mr. Carmody.

The principal technique behind much of our treatment here, Mr. Carmody, apart

from diet and relaxation, is hypnotherapy.

You must see and you must hear.

You must journey down through your mind, beneath your memory,

Down into your subconscious.

Down into catalepsy.

And nothing is for you.

This song will become your entrance to a new film, Mr. Carmody.

A new dimension of existence.

A very special wristwatch, Mr. Carmody.

It'll feel like your most valued possession.

You got it with your life.

How are you feeling, Mr. Carmody? My treatment leaves you wonderfully

doesn't it? Yes.

Yes, it leaves me wonderfully relaxed.

Oh, you sleep deeply tonight. I'll see that you're not disturbed.

Jim, do you read me?

Yes, Shannon.

Westerly kept Nicholas isolated during the night. He's having another private

treatment session this morning.

Yes, and I think I know why.

Stick with him. Right, Jim.

How's this?

Brian Comedy.

Ah, Patricia Bowing. How do you do?

What's going on up there, Nicholas?

Where?

In the office.

I don't know what you mean, Shannon.

You don't remember anything?

Animal noises?

Vaguely. Well, there was nothing vague about it.

I mean, it sounded like a jungle in there.

Look, all I know is I haven't felt this good in a long time.

Nicholas, where's your watch?

Here.

It's new. Where did you get it?

I've had this watch for a long time.

Well, let me have a look at it. No!

Look, would you just leave me alone?

I'll see you later.

Nicholas? Nicholas!

Now look, what's going on?

What happened in that room?

Look, we're getting you out of this place.

You're losing it, buddy.

We didn't bargain on this.

Did Wesley give you that watch? Did he?

Hey, come on. What's wrong?

Look, we're friends.

You and I are friends, and you can tell me whatever is bothering you.

Just talk to me about it, Nicholas, please.

You can tell me what's going on. I mean, if something's bothering you, I want to

know.

What's wrong, Nicholas?

I know there's something going on in your mind. Tell me about it.

on top, cans on the bottom. You betcha, Mom.

Come on. Hey,

excuse us. Stay clear of our patient, Mr. Barwing.

Thank you.

Jim.

Yes, Shannon.

Whatever Westerly's doing to Nicholas is powerful stuff.

He's behaving like he's been brainwashed.

Nicholas is the chosen assassin, all right.

But in one day, how is that possible?

Simple hypnosis could never do that.

It's got to be something else.

We're going to have to get into Westerly's office ourselves.

Shut up.

We've got company.

After today's incident, I've decided that my treatment is not suitable for

Bowing. Now, hold on just a minute. I can't have sensitive patients upset to

point where they lose control like Mr. Carmody did.

I'm very sorry, but I must ask you to pack and leave immediately.

So much for your health -treating garbage, Patricia.

I trust that you won't have the nerve to charge me anything.

You saved the money for your bookmakers.

See to it that they leave without delay.

Sure. I'll be working with Mr. Carmody.

Those people you know, Mr. Carmody, the Barwings, whomever they are?

You mustn't let them stand in your way.

I'm certainly not going to let them stand in mine.

I won't let them stand in my way.

Nor anyone else.

Nor anyone else.

Jim, Westerly is taking no chances by having us around.

We've been forced out.

Watch the clinic.

If Nicholas tries to leave there, don't lose him. We're on the way.

This is your day of destiny, Mr. Carmody.

We're leaving here now.

You must practice what I've been preaching.

Wake up, Mr. Carmody.

There's no guarantee that Nicholas is the only assassin Westerly has

You mean he might have a backup killer waiting?

Could be.

Now tracking Nicholas is the only way we have of reaching the target ourselves

time to stop the killing

Tools

of

the trade mr. Carmody

We'll follow.

This is it.

Have an interactive audience.

Why are we here?

To meet Sheikh Farood, Mr. Comedy.

You've been granted the only interview before he flies back home.

You are very fortunate.

Sheik Abdul Farood.

Yes, it is.

He's the OPEC leader involved in the Midas peace talks.

He's got a couple of attempts on his life.

I think there's a long list of people who'd like to see him dead.

He's the one they call the lion of the desert.

Max Grant, the Arab sheik near the winter circle. He could be the target.

Recorded.

You know that whole thing could have been a diversion. There may be someone

else.

I'll watch the Sheik. Max, you keep an eye on Westerly.

Better get him back to the ship.

Yeah, Jim.

Westerly's still here. Now might be a good time to get into his treatment

Yeah, I got you.

Yeah, Max.

I've lost track of the way to it. He could be heading your way.

Yeah, thanks.

Don't! No!

Nicholas. What happened?

He's still programmed.

You understand?

He hit me.

He's taking a gun.

Jim? Brad, we've got trouble. Nicholas overpowered Shannon. He's gone. Armed

dangerous. A sheik. He's safely on a plane. I still think he was a decoy.

I found some pretty interesting stuff here.

including a tape of a lion killing its prey.

That could account for the jungle noises, but there's got to be more to it

that. Get back here, fast.

Right.

This is the secret to Westerly's method.

He implants those in the people he wants to control. They're some sort of

thought -triggering device.

It can turn an otherwise normal person into a killer.

They seem to be made of living tissue.

Now, computer analysis suggests that they're probably fueled by the body's

adrenaline. You're saying when the job is done, it simply melts into the

That's right.

Now, I believe the implants work in conjunction with this.

The program that lays all the groundwork. The hypnotic tape that

using on our friend Nicholas.

Well, they should be able to tell us something.

Well, nothing that I can see with the naked eye.

But there are other ways.

The lion and the gazelle.

Hunter and the hunted.

Look at that again.

That's it.

Killer and victim.

Subliminal messages.

I'd say he's Nicholas' target.

So the sheet was a red herring.

Westerly sent Nicholas after him so that we'd follow and he'd find out who we

are. Now Nicholas is chasing the real target. This man.

Who is he?

Chief Leopold Kabutu, President of the Republic of West Africa, Chairman of the

Commission Against Apartheid, most wanted man on the hit list of South

extremists. He must be here in Boston.

Chief Leopold Kabutu of the Republic of West Africa, public ceremony at Boston

Zoo, 4 .30 today.

On the line, Rorison.

Got a half an hour to stop Nicholas.

Behind us.

There he is.

Welcome to Boston Zoo, Chief Kombutu.

Thank you, sir.

Citizens of Boston, I give you the president of the Republic of West

Chief Leopold Kamburu.

Mr. Mayor, citizens of Boston, I'm indeed honored to be here this

here in this historic city, where a flame was set alight, inspiring

all the colonial people of the world to drive for our own independence.

The right to self -determination.

It is fitting that I should be honoring the citizens of Boston.

For it was the citizens of Boston who more than 200 years ago struck the first

blow that secured this great nation's independence from England.

My own country won its independence barely 30 years ago.

Now we find our freedom precious.

by racist and aggressive extremists.

Jim, I found the mass -making unit.

Nicholas has changed his identity. He could look like anyone.

even as you did not give way.

There will be sufferings. There are sacrifices to be made.

But our democracy will emerge victorious.

And so, from the freedom -loving people of the Republic of West Africa, I ask

you to accept the gift of this beautiful animal, a symbol of our

everlasting friendship.

It's Nicholas.

Nicholas.

Nicholas.

Nicholas, put the gun down.

Put the gun down, Nicholas.
