Bye.

Nurse, I'm Dr. Maggio. I was told to
report. Dr. Maggio?

Yes, yes, I was told to report. Yes, we
know.

Do you mind?

Oh, if it's necessary.

May I see Prudential?

Prudential.

Governor Chairman, the physician you
sent for is here, Dr. Maggio.

Good. Leave us alone.

Dr. Maggio, do you know who I am?

Of course.

Even your shadow is world famous.

Chairman Rogin of the Eastern Bloc
Alliance.

I'm grateful to you, Dr. Maggio.

Even though our countries are not always
on the best of terms, I appreciate your

prompt response.

Please be seated.

Who is it?

Walter.

Just a minute, Walter. I've got an
invisible piglet. I don't want to lose

There.

I'll put some things on.

What is it?

This just came in on the teletype. I
thought you should both see it.

It's from Nick.

He's at the Kletner Clinic in Chicago.

Requires surgical assistance from Dr.
Dan Weston and Nurse Kate Weston.

Immediately.

Nurse?

Third floor, Kletner Clinic. Hurry.

This is the most delicate operation.

Signed, Doctor Nick Maggio.

Surgical assistant.

I can't slice pumpernickel.

I wonder what he wants.

I checked out Kleppner. It's a highly
experimental clinic. Small, but very

prestigious. Think he's in trouble?

Well, he wouldn't have wired us if he
wasn't.

Oh, no.

Listen, Walter, what little visibility I
have I owe to Nick Maggio. He invented

Dermaplex, remember?

If it wasn't for all these masks, I'd be
running around without a head.

Besides, he's the only other person who
knows the secret of the clay resource.

Your corporate interest might be at
stake.

But if he's in trouble, we're his
friends. We've got to help him.

All right.

Do what you can to help him.

But you'll have to go without me. My
desk is piled sky high.

Thanks, Walter.

Oh, we'll need some credentials and
things.

Can you help us?

Well, let's just say I owe you one.

I'm sorry, sir.

No admittance. We were told to report to
the third floor.

Oh, perhaps the convalescent ward. This
corridor is private. No, I don't think

so. My name is Dr. Weston. This is Nurse
Weston, my wife.

We're here to assist Dr. Maggio.

More American doctors?

Yes, we received a telegram from Dr.
Maggio.

Oh, yes. These are the people he sent
for to aid him with the surgery.

Take them to Maggio and see that they
stay there.

I will be with him if you need me.

Here's one.

You will have to submit to a routine
security search.

Do you object?

Yes, but... Well, who was that?

We'll make it informal.

That was Dr. Stolo.

His personal physician.

I prefer formal.

Whose personal physician?

way, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your Dr. Maggio is in that room.

Nick. Nick.

Hey.

What's going on? You said something
about getting together soon, but in

Nick, are you all right?

Dr. Weston. Nurse Weston.

So glad you could get here. How was your
flight? I want to brief you on some

special surgical procedure. Please sit
down.

Thanks for coming.

Believe me, Chicago wasn't my first
choice either.

How are you two?

It's been a long time.

Fine. Hey, you're looking great.

What do you think of my outfit?

Where'd you get it? Walter. Cute, huh?

It's divine.

What's wrong, Nick?

I assume you haven't brought us all this
way for nothing.

Dan, I don't know. I may be paranoid.

I think this may be the most important
thing I've ever done in my life. And

got this feeling in the pit of my
stomach. You said something about

surgical procedures?

Us? I think I'm going to need you to
help me.

To do what?

Earlier today, I got this urgent
message.

I couldn't believe the signature until I
got here and saw it with my own eyes.

My presence in your country is an
absolute secret.

I took a grave risk to come here.

Imagine the uproar in the newspapers, on
television.

Doesn't your entourage give you away?

We are here on diplomatic passports from
one of our satellite countries.

Assume names.

Not even your secret service knows that
I'm here.

But the clinic does know that it has a
very important patient.

Oh, yes, but they don't know who or why.

They think I'm a foreign industrialist
here for a hush -hush operation.

But why come to America? Certainly your
country has excellent state hospitals,

the finest physicians.

Not for what I need.

In my country, the operation I require
does not exist.

Well, I can understand a heart
transplant, even a radical bypass.

But then you wouldn't have called me.
No, Dr. Maggio.

And I went through a lot of trouble
falsifying your credentials to get you

But why?

My country does not permit our leaders,
not even the premier, to become too

popular.

A likable individual like myself can
easily become an object of worship.

More powerful than the party.

It's called the cult of the personality.

And it's absolutely forbidden.

However, it is necessary to be extremely
popular in order to stay in power.

I believe in the cult of my personality.

But why an operation?

How can an operation make you popular?

But look at me. I'm getting old.

The dictators all over the world,
wrinkled, sagging old man.

You have an expression over the
mountain.

I think it's over the hill.

It feels like a mountain.

Inside, I'm still young, full of vigor.

But those bags under my eyes, the
wrinkles, the jowls, that's why I

thousands of miles to consult the
world's greatest plastic surgeon.

You want me to give you a facelift?

A facelift?

Chairman Rodian?

I couldn't believe it.

Why?

Well, he said it wasn't vanity that was
making him do it, that it was vitally

important to the welfare of his people,
something to do with young military

groups trying to get him out of office.

They say I'm too old. I'm getting
senile.

They are spreading rumors, and they must
stop them.

Well, I can see what's in it for you.

But why should I perform an operation on
a dictator just to prolong his power?

Do you have to call me that word?

Well, dictator, that's precisely what
you are.

Why don't you act at least benevolent?

That still doesn't give me any reason
for performing the operation.

I'm America's best friend in my country.
If I lose my grip, you can say goodbye

to friendship between our country and
perhaps to world peace.

Dr. Maggio, please, name your price.

All right.

Increase your contribution to the UN.

Stop shipping arms to the Near East and
free your political prisoners.

Now, wait a minute.

Take it or leave it.

What's wrong?

I said I'd do it. I know, Mr. Chairman.

But I'm going to need some help.

What kind of help?

There are two specialists in California.

I need them to do the operation.

Well, if it's absolutely necessary.

But they must not know who I am or what
they are to do prior to arrival.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

And I must come out at least looking 20
years younger.

Ten. Fifteen.

Twelve.

All right. Ten.

It's a deal.

I arranged for him to have a good
night's sleep and arranged for surgery

first thing in the morning.

Then what's the trouble?

I had just given him a pre -op
tranquilizer when she came in.

Who?

Dr. Stoloff.

That should help you get some rest.

Jordanette. Sasha, why did you lie to
me?

I have a right to know.

Katrina, what are you doing here?

The question is, what are you doing
here?

If it had not been for your travel
officer, I would never have found you. I

don't think you would understand.

Understand, Sasha?

Is that why you deceived me?

Why you left the country without a
trace?

No one would tell me where you were?

And now I find you in an American
hospital, and they talk of a ridiculous

operation, a sinus transplant?

I'm sorry, Katharina.

Who is this?

What is he doing here?

What have you given him?

Are you his wife?

I am his personal physician, Dr.
Stoloff.

Well, Dr. Stoloff, I gave him three
grains of pentobarbital.

Pentobarbital? What for?

And do not give me lies about a sinus
transplant.

What is he doing here?

I don't think he wants anyone to find
out.

Who are you?

Dr. Nick Maggio.

In five hours, he will be coming out of
this, Dr. Maggio.

Then we shall see what he has to say.

Kurt, Sergei, take the doctor to a
waiting room.

And see that he does not leave.

Just let me get my bag.

Come with you.

Doctor.

No one must enter this room without my
permission.

Here I've been for almost... Five hours
now. They won't let me out.

A sinus transplant?

Well, that's the official story. It's
the clinic's specialty.

Why don't you just tell him why you're
here? I can't.

I swore to him that I wouldn't tell
another soul.

Look, if they're getting sticky about
this whole thing, why don't you just

your hands and walk out? Dan could
create a diversion.

No.

I promised Rodian that I would perform
the operation, and I'm going to do it.

What if he's right? What if it is
necessary to world peace?

It's a rare opportunity, Dr. Maggio.

I think the old boy deserves a lift.

Then you'll help me. Is Lenin Square
red?

As Rudolph's nose.

Well, the first thing on the agenda is
to find out what Stoloff intends to do

with us.

And Rodian. How do we do that?

Well, I, uh, I suggest a little
reconnaissance.

Guard is still out there.

That's all right, but he doesn't come in
here.

The ultimate spy.

You are absolutely certain of his
registry?

Dr. Nick Maggio?

GGIO.

Thank you.

Wake up, Sasha.

Wake up, Sasha.

What's the matter?

What are you doing here, Katrina?

Why did you not tell me you were
leaving?

You wouldn't have let me. You would have
said no.

Dr. Nick Maggio, I know that he is a
plastic surgeon.

What did you find out?

The medical registry.

What is he going to do?

I thought we had talked about that. We
decided.

I've made up my mind to do it.

Oh, Sasha, you cannot be serious.

Never more so.

It is counter -revolutionary.

Capitalistic vanity.

You will be ridiculed. The loving stock
of our country.

I'm doing it for my country.

It is political suicide.

No, Katerina.

You are my doctor, not a political
analyst.

The military factions who want to get
rid of me. They're spreading rumors that

I'm senile and I'm not fit to be head of
state. That is ridiculous.

Your mind is as sharp as it was when you
were 30.

Yeah, you know that.

But what about the people who see my old
face in the newspapers?

Your old face is the most handsome, most
respected in the world.

I love that face. Please do not change
it. I'm sorry, Katrina.

Sasha. Please look around you. This is
an American hospital.

You have less than one -eighth of your
secret service with you.

No one knows who you are, where you are,
what you are doing.

Who can you trust?

It is insanity.

I'm safe because no one knows.

Anyway, I was seen on Korshak.

My two most trusted men.

They know about the facelift?

No.

But they will protect me with their
lives. I can trust them.

You can trust no one.

Forgive me, darling.

This is for your own good.

I must take you home to a safe place.

Please tell Major Korshak and Vasil I
need to see them at once.

The chairman's plane must be made ready
to take off.

He's taken seriously ill, and we must
leave for home as soon as possible.

Order so.

Dan?

Where's my mark?

What's the good news?

It's not.

Stoloff knows about the facelift. She's
making arrangements to have Rodjin flown

out tonight.

Before you can touch him.

If we're going to do anything, we'd
better hurry.

Where are my things?

What is the meaning of this, doctor?

I was given strict instructions by the
chairman himself. He is not to leave

hospital until the operation is
performed.

I am sorry, comrade.

That is now impossible.

The chairman has taken ill. He must
return to our country and to be

hospitalized.

That is ridiculous.

This is a hospital. Take care of him
here.

With all due respects, Major, you are
the chairman's aide, Vasily's security

chief. But I am the chairman's personal
physician, and I am autonomous in all

matters concerning his health.

You had better hurry with your
arrangements. We have not much time.

What now?

Have to make our move earlier than
anticipated.

The chairman must die.

Here, tonight, in the American hospital.

It must look like the capitalist's
fault.

Come.

I can't operate on him while they're
flying him out of the country.

That's it.

Chairman Rodin can be in two places at
once.

How? That is, do you have your dermaplex
with you?

Of course.

Of course.

It's so simple, it's ridiculous.

All we'd need is a diversion.

Would there be any cylinders of
anesthetic on this floor somewhere?

I suppose so, but what would you need it
for?

Well, if I were to open the valve near
the guard... You could put him to sleep.

In the hallway? Forget it. Not powerful
enough.

That was an interesting idea.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I keep
forgetting that I'm at the Klempner

On the second floor, there's a testing
ground for experimental anesthetics.

What time would I look for?

Sodium phenyl pentothal 10.

Sodium phenyl pentothal 10. When you mix
it with oxygen, look out.

Operating room B in half an hour.
Thanks.

Oh, and please make sure that the
anesthesiologist doesn't leave in case

little late.

Thanks.

Dan? Nick, open the window.

Where are my pants?

You've been having trouble finding those
lately, haven't you, sweetheart?

What's going on out there?

The hallway's filling with sodium phenyl
pentothal -10.

Better watch it. You might get sued for
malpractice.

Good. Grab your bag and come over by the
door.

Hey, Kate, get the rest of my clothes.

The chairman is never going to fit into
your clothes, Dan.

Is there anything else in the cupboard?

That's too small.

Forty -four?

Perfect.

waiting for what was that the god all
right take

a deep breath and don't let it out until
you get to the chairman's room all

right go

Dan? Are you in here?

Over here.

I got some fresh air for the chairman.

Don't want him to OD on the gas.

Nor us, for that matter.

I'll listen at the door.

Yeah, good old Dermaplex.

But it's an advanced formula.

It dries in one -tenth the time as the
compound that I used on your mask.

This pigment won't match perfectly, but
it's close enough.

He only has to fool them until you
complete the operation.

If it's too good, I might end up with a
free trip to Eastern Europe.

I hope this comes off as easily as it
did on you.

Dan? What?

When should we start dreading him?

We better start now. Something tells me
they're going to be a tight fit.

Dan, the elevator.

Take one.

It's their security.

I locked the door.

Put these on him.

Forget the mask. We haven't got time.

Here. Finish putting this on. I'll get
my mask.

I'll get the shoes.

He's invisible.

I'll improvise.

Break it down!

And why is his face wrapped in gauze?

Well, it's required. It's part of the
pre -op for a sinus transplant.

It's vital to wrap the areas around the
sinuses to soften the tissues.

The epidermal layer of the mucous
membrane must be moisturized. Did you

guards? It's an offense against the
state.

Assault on the chairman.

Well, no one would let us out. We had to
drug them.

Listen, if we operate when the membranes
are dry, well, you can kiss the sinuses

goodbye.

What is wrong with him?

Oh, he caught some of the anesthetic in
the hall. It's an allergic reaction.

He'll be out for a while.

Sleep well, Sergei?

The chairman could have been killed.

Are you all right?

Take these three to the waiting room and
hold them for questioning. Now!

No more napping, huh?

They could have killed him.

Do you think they were trying?

No. If I thought they were assassins, I
would have let them do their job.

Did you believe that this is a sinus
transplant?

Of course.

But after this little episode with the
anesthetic, it will be very easy to make

our countrymen think otherwise.

The Americans.

We'll take full responsibility for our
chairman's death, Bastille.

Do you have the drug?

Five cc's of atropine.

I think our Dr. Maggio is going to be
blamed for a slight miscalculation

in the amount of his pre -operation
tranquilizer.

I feel an odd sense of power standing
over this old man, Bastille.

I'm about to change the destiny of the
world.

We will make history.

Shall we inject him in the neck?

No. The arm will do just fine.

What has been going on around here?

Is he all right?

He's fine, doctor.

The Americans gave us a little scare
with a bottle of anesthetic.

Why is his face wrapped in gauze?

Preparation for the surgery.

They said it was vital.

He is not going to be operated on.

Transportation is called.

The plane has been made ready to fly.

Should we have the bandages removed?

No.

They will be a good disguise.

I do not want anything to happen to him,
Major.

Vasil, please.

Let what just happened be a lesson to
us.

We must be more careful.

I always knew someday that Danny would
be a great man.

What do you think, Nick?

How does he look as chairman of the
Eastern Bloc?

I think it suits him.

But we've got to be in surgery in five
minutes.

Have to stall them.

You don't think anything will happen to
Dan, do you?

I mean, they think he's the chairman.

As long as they don't find out.

Pull it alongside here, and then lift
him onto it.

Major,

those are the chairman's cigarettes.

I'm sure he won't mind, Doctor.

Please be careful.

He must be coming out of a sedation if
he felt that.

What's that to do?

No, he's had enough of that in the last
few hours.

Mr. Chairman, drink this.

Sasha, please. It is just water.

Really water.

Chlordiazine relaxant.

It has the same effect as a triple
vodka.

Thank you.

The chairman will be at ease for the
flight home.

Shall we go?

The ambulance is ready.

What happened?

Nothing.

Sasha?

Sasha, come back!

Who's that?

There's a reason to take him by force.

Out of my way. Get out of my way.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The chairman is not feeling well.

Perhaps he's a little delirious.

Lucille and I will find him. That
corridor is a dead end.

I will come with you. No, Dr. Stoller.

This is a problem of security.

In those matters, I am autonomous.

Relax, Doctor.

There's no way that we can lose him.

Did you see a man in a wheelchair?

His face was wrapped in gauze.

You're welcome.

Chairman.

Where did he go?

Have your men take the entire floor
apart. Without his disguise, he won't go

far. Go on, Basil.

We will give something to Dr. Stoloff to
do.

Because we must make sure that we find
the chairman before she does.

I do apologize for your inconvenience.
Yes, doctor, I am. I'm aware of the

time.

I know that 4 a .m. in the morning is
not the ideal time for surgery, but I

no choice.

Can't you just wait there for us for
another 15 minutes?

Have a cup of coffee.

Well, then scrub up again.

I'm just asking you to wait there for
another 15 minutes.

Well, thank you.

I'll be there.

I can't stall the anesthesiologist
forever.

Where's Dan?

For all I know, he's on a plane headed
for the Eastern Block.

Sergei, go to the west wing.

Check every room.

You can't do that.

This is a matter of security.

Respect your cooperation.

Corporal, I want you to guard that room.
I don't want anyone to go in or out.

Cut.

Go see if anyone has seen him on the
next floor.

Major, this is... Doctor.

You go down to the front desk.

Tell them to alert all their people.

I will stay up here.

Whatever you say, Major.

Hi, baby.

Dan!

Hi, baby. Dan, you've been drinking.

Yeah, I've been drinking
chlorohyzobenzene.

What?

Chlorodiazine. Great. It's a muscle
relaxant. It's like a triple martini.

Come on, Dan.

Snap out of it now.

We've got to get Rogin down to surgery
in ten minutes. If we don't, that's it.

Come on, Dan.

He is not on this floor.

Spread out. He'll search the entire
hospital.

Dan.

Huh?

Dan. I'm sorry. Are you all right?

Yeah, I drifted off.

Is there an antidote?

Not in my bag. He's gonna have to do
this on his own.

Huh?

We gotta get going, Danny. Can you walk?

What? Oh, sure.

Well, I'll try him.

Put your right foot in.

Don't understand where he could be.

Look, some of the guards are leaving the
floor.

Why? They're looking for me.

Tried to kill me. Who?

Korshak and Vassal with a needle.

Korshak tried to kill you?

Yeah, with a needle.

They were probably trying to get at him.

Rogin's right. Somebody wants him out.

Now, we've got to get going. Our
jailer's still outside.

Well, I'll take care of him.

Oh, it's worth a try. Come on, help me
with him.

You're on.

Got him?

Yeah.

Get him into the chair.

What are you doing?

It's easier than carrying you.

First time for everything, lover.

Where are you going?

What's the matter with him?

Surgery. We're late.

Where are they?

Maggio and the other doctor.

They said something about surgery.

Surgery?

Page Major Korshak. Tell him to meet me
at surgery immediately.

So glad you could make it, Doctor. In a
few more minutes, we're going to order

up some breakfast.

Get your equipment ready. We haven't got
much time. Time seems to be all we do

have. But believe me, your patient's
going to see it in his bill.

I think when you see who my patient is,
the last thing you'll be worried about

is the bill. You may even want the honor
of paying him, Doctor.

Who is it? The President of the United
States?

Right job, wrong side.

Shall we begin, Doctor?

Major Korshak to surgery room, please.

Surgery! Cut!

He's stable.

Scout.

Do not touch him.

Get out of this room, Dr. Stoloff. Now.

You will ruin him.

No.

Dad.

What's he doing in here?

Who?

Close the door.

Stop them.

Where did you get him?

What are you trying to do?

What is it? Some kind of circuit.

I promised the chairman that I would
perform the surgery.

And what kind of surgery, doctor?

I can't tell you.

Seize him.

What are you doing? I have reason to
believe, doctor, that you want the

dead. Will someone tell me what's going
on?

Major. I didn't want to alarm you, Dr.
Stoloff.

You didn't want to alarm me? Of course I
tried to kill Roger.

Excuse me.

You tried to kill the chairman.

What? You. You tried to kill the
chairman.

A syringe in his pocket.

Well, there's a syringe in his pocket.
Don't be ridiculous.

Atrophine.

A lethal dose.

Of course I carry it with me. For the
chairman's protection.

Tell them, Basil.

Basil, tell them.

Well, Vasil?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Vasil! Sit down!

So,

you think you can betray me, comrade?

Suddenly pull out and things become
difficult?

Cowards never make history, Vasil.

to witness a great event.

You're going to see the transfer of
power from this weak, wrinkled, feeble

man to a strong, young coalition of
comrades who shall lead the people of

Eastern Bloc to world dominance.

The people of our country.

Not youth.

Vitality. And I, Major Petro Korshak,
shall give that to them.

He was right.

They look at the face instead of the
mind.

May we proceed with the operation?

Whatever he wants.

I shall miss that old face.

It'll be the same face.

Only a few years younger.

Now, will everybody who does not belong
here please get out so that we can re

-scrub and begin the operation?

Excuse me.

from Pravda.

Looking tan, refreshed, and ten years
younger, Chairman Rodion arrived home

two glorious weeks at a workers' health
resort.

This put an end to the vicious rumors
that the chairman's age was hindering

service to the country.

Now listen to this.

In sweeping changes of policy, Chairman
Rodion today announced additional

support for the U .N., a reduction in
armed shipments, and a pledge to release

political prisoners.

Well, this one's more ominous.

Major Petra Kosciak and Vasil Brovnik,
former aide and security chief to

Chairman Rodion, will be tried next
month on a variety of charges ranging

conspiracy to assassinate the chairman
to illegal possession of drugs.

Well, I think it is safe to say that the
clay resource has never been put to a

better use.

Vitaly, what do you think?

Do you think Rodion's right that it
helps a leader to have a young -looking

face?

Oh, I don't know, Walter.

You have been looking a little baggy
under the eyes lately, Walter, darling.

Yes, of course, we could get Nick here
within a week.
