The next mayoral election, I'm voting for a wrestler, like The Rock or

They shouldn't be doing this in broad daylight.

This should be done at night. When I'm at home sitting in my underwear watching

David Letterman's Stupid Patrick, that's when this should be done.

I'm sure the driver behind you feels the same.

You're telling me L .A. traffic don't tick you off?

In Shanghai, there are more cars, more people, and thousands of bicycles.

In your past, I learned a great lesson about life.

What great lesson did you learn, Samuel?

Get someone else to do the driving, and you can sleep.

I should have got the Porsche with the ejector seat for the passenger.

Hello! I got stuff to do!

Hey, Samuel, check this out behind you.

What's your problem?

Get your head in the car.

Daniel, over here.

You all right?

My leg is broken, but I'm not afraid. He's worse.

You're damn right.

He's dead.

Now hold still.

Thanks.

Ow! Why don't you soak the cotton ball in? Alcohol or bleach?

You know, a real man would put a horse hair in the wound, cherish the pain, and

wear the scar like a badge of honor.

I got a lot of scars.

Then you'd crawl into an earthen shelter and apply a poultice of cow dung, bacon

fat, and crushed leaves.

I always wonder why a woman as fine as you couldn't get a date.

Now I know why.

Didn't the hospital do that for you?

It was hard enough getting them to treat Sammo's broken leg. What, insurance

problems? No, security problems.

Ludlow Keel is having a brain tumor removed.

The Secret Service at the hospital locked down pretty tight. So the chief

negotiator for the Middle East peace talks gets his head cracked open and

Community General can't treat anybody else?

Let's just say they're really picky about who they let inside.

You know, I still can't believe that a couple of street thugs were able to put

Sammo in traction.

Now, Gracie, you didn't see these guys. They were wild. It was like they were

high on meth or crack or something that gave them super strength.

Thrill. It's a new designer drug.

Breaks down your inhibitions and imbues you with this euphoric sense of

invincibility.

Hopped up on this stuff, you can't even hear your own bones snap.

And you know this because?

Well, somebody's been flooding the streets with it this week for free.

Robberies and violent assaults are way up. So we've been ordered to find

whoever's making it and stop them before the chaos continues.

We should take them.

Make the fight fair.

I don't think you'd like the side effects.

Four of the users have died from strokes, or at least that's what the

are guessing.

Well, haven't they done autopsies? They didn't get a chance.

The bodies disappeared before they made it to the morgue. Why would anybody want

to steal corpus?

I think I know how to find out.

Yeah, hello?

There's something I've got to know.

When you missed that flight, were you bailing on a business deal or on me?

Excuse me. I'm going to have to take this.

Okay.

Aren't you going to ask me to go on my trip?

I would, but you might get the impression that I actually can't.

That's for you to ask. It was lonely. Or it was a fiasco, depending on whether

you stood me up or walked out on a business deal.

What do you want, Kyle?

I want to get to know you.

That's the only reason I agreed to let you fight long way, so we could spend

some...

Time together.

That is, of course, before he rips your arms out of your sockets, but you blew

me off.

A more perceptive man might have taken that as a hint.

Well, you see, that's why perceptive men never win. Me, I just keep my eyes

closed and keep going until I get what I want.

Not with me.

You haven't hung up yet.

Maybe that's because I want to fight the way.

And maybe you can give me something that'll give me the edge over him.

Automatic weapon?

A drug called thrill.

Never heard of it.

But you'll find out all about it by 8 o 'clock tonight now, won't you?

You can tell me about it over dinner at the Gare.

Well, you see, a more perceptive man might suspect that you are using me.

Well, we all know what happens to perceptive men now, don't we? Yeah, I'll

you at 8.

Name a patient to visit? That information hasn't changed in the 15

the last checkpoint.

Samuel Law, room 813.

It's that open door down the hall.

Follow me. I think I can find it myself.

Attention, please. All visitors need to obtain a pass at the main desk.

When you're ready to leave, press the call button and wait for an agent to

escort you out.

Sorry about the security.

They are here to protect La Loteo.

I thought the hospital hired them to keep you in bed.

That too?

You must be bored out of your mind here.

My body may be captive, but my mind is still free.

As long as a man can think, he will never be bored.

Well then, I guess you don't need these.

Oh.

Kyle Strode's back in town.

Is my son still with him?

I'll find out tonight.

At dinner?

This man is charming, Pepe.

But he is dangerous.

You must not put yourself at any more risk for my personal quest.

Oh, Kyle wouldn't hurt me.

My son recognized your fighting style.

Knew you were my student and a police officer.

Well, that's why he beat the crap out of me to keep me off the plane.

What if that's not all he did?

You mean, told Strode?

No, Kyle doesn't know. You can't be so sure?

Of you.

The kind of son you raised.

Sean wouldn't do that.

He's not Sean anymore.

He's long way now.

And I don't know what else he's become.

It's too great a risk.

It's a risk I'll have to take.

And not just for you.

I mean, Kyle Strode could lead us to whoever it is that's putting Thrill on

street. He might.

He's also a major criminal figure.

If I get closer to him, I might be able to gather up enough evidence to take him

down. You could.

And he's also a very valuable source of information.

Who knows what I could learn from him?

It seems you have many reasons to see this man again.

I'm just doing my job, Lord. Before you see Carl Strode, you should face

all the reasons you are doing it.

Until you do, it will be very dangerous.

Thanks,

George. I remember this place as being more popular.

Yeah, you can't even get a reservation on the weeknight, so I bought the place.

Fortunate, anyway.

Let's go.

You're awfully sure of yourself.

Well, there's something Lone Way told me when we were waiting on the runway, and

you didn't show up.

He said you were probably doing this to see if I would keep on trying.

It's a shame Lone Way is not joining us for dinner.

It would have made the arrangements a lot easier.

Oh, I didn't realize this was a business meeting.

I'm a fighter.

You're a promoter.

What else could it be?

Well, what would you like it to be?

Look, I have no idea where Loneway is.

He ditched me in Belize. He disappeared the night before his last fight.

So then I guess we have no business to discuss.

Business?

Well, apparently not.

So then I guess our meeting's over.

Wait.

One of my fighters got a hold of some thrill. He's planning on taking it

his fight tonight.

Thought you might be interested to see how it works. Is that sufficiently

businesslike for you?

That could be interesting.

Then sit down.

Your champagne's getting flat.

Hey, we're from the county. We're here to collect the John Doe's for burial.

The only time the county spends a buck on those poor souls is to bury them.

All right, I think.

Hey, I thought you guys only worked days. Hey, man, same lousy job,

lousy hours.

Find the throw kill.

I got him.

Bring the tag from the body bag.

Let's get out of here.

Too bad you got the graveyard shift.

Hey, for us, every shift is a graveyard shift.

Don't you move.

Get your hand behind me. Right now.

What happened to you?

Broke their pinkies and dropped dead.

Their Scorpio agent?

What do they want with the bodies of dead thrill users?

Nice to see you're relaxing.

I want a shot at him.

This guy's loaded on thrill. He'll carry the shreds.

They're all thinking the same thing in a jacket. Go make us some money.

Where's my body? You'll have to do without it.

And there won't be any more corpses where that came from.

Then how exactly am I supposed to know if the modifications I've made to Thrill

were successful?

Yes.

University Corporation Scorpio.

The logos are different, but the people at the top are all the same.

No understanding of the scientific process.

You told me Thrill would be perfected long before the deadline, and I told the

one. The search for truth doesn't work on a timetable of the reason this

is called experimentation.

You promised Scorpio a drug that would give its user superhuman strength and

invulnerability. I said it would wipe out the barriers that keep humans from

reaching their full potential, increasing physical stamina while

inhibitions. You never mentioned it would do that by killing them.

Is there a problem, Miss Spock?

No, sir.

Then your test subjects are no longer dying. A few people experienced a

reaction. It's an aberration, that's all.

We've modified the formulas and begun a new round of trials.

But we have no doubt that Thrill will be ready for full implementation tomorrow.

Excellent. I assume Dr. Decker will concur.

Only a fool or a liar would guarantee success at this stage in the process.

And in which category would you place our Miss Bock?

When I accepted your deadline, I was promised a certain level of

logistical, and financial support.

But my facilities and my support staff have been woefully inadequate from day

one. In that case, Doctor, I must offer my sincerest apologies. Miss Bach, will

you see that Dr. Decker has given everything he needs to ready this drug

deadline?

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

I am counting on you, Dr. Decker. A dozen terrorist leaders from around the

world will be gathering in Budapest tomorrow, and they are expecting a

Do you have any idea what you just did?

Exactly what I do at any corporation.

Go over the head of the middle manager straight to the CEO.

I figure that at least he has got a little vision.

Good morning.

I'm naked.

Yeah, I noticed that.

So did you have fun stripping my clothes off?

There's some fresh clothes for you in the closet when you are ready.

Your women must be in quite a rush to get away if they leave their clothes

behind.

I wonder.

Are they afraid of you, or are you afraid of them?

You're welcome to stay as long as you like.

However, you might consider postponing your departure till you can at least

stand up without passing out.

Why don't you give me some thrill?

To race you around the block?

No, I don't think so.

Are you afraid I'll beat you?

I'm afraid you might not live long enough to savor the victory.

You know the guy who fought last night? The guy who thrashed you?

He died.

Right after I stopped the fight.

He did take out seven opponents in 30 minutes, though.

Six of them were still in the hospital.

What happened to the seventh?

Well... She's right here.

Why'd you stop the fight?

Look, the guy who was...

The only drugs I found where he is and he's gonna come by this afternoon if

you're interested You might want to stick around Enjoy your breakfast

Scorpio has been stealing the bodies of real things taking them out to a

house in the valley Dissecting them in the garage and then disposing of the

an acid pit in the backyard.

Let's make any sense to you No more than surgically implanting poison cartridges

in your pinky Well, it's a good thing they didn't file the serial numbers of

autopsy equipment. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to trace it back

cellar. Let's hope they use the Scorpio corporate card.

Somehow, I don't think we're going to be that lucky.

A brother can dream, can't he?

I'm so tired of clues leading to empty offices and abandoned warehouses.

Just once, why can't a clue lead to a cheery person with helpful information?

Every scrap of paper has gone in here. They removed the hard drives from these

computers. We're not going to find anything here, Dylan.

Do you smell that?

Disinfectant. You can believe they probably wipe down every surface.

I wonder why they left all the doors unlocked.

Yeah, where are the employees?

I mean, it's a weekday.

And based on how many deaths there are here, there should be at least four

employees. Terrell?

Yes?

I found them.

Cool.

I've sold drugs. I know drugs. Drugs. Drugs are a terrible thing. They eat

brain. They rot your organs. They wither your muscles.

I've got to tell you, this is true. There's been times when I've almost

can't go through with this sale because the potential for destruction is just

great. Noble. Thank you.

Ah, but that was before Thrill.

Thrill. Thrill is like no other drug. I've got to tell you, I'm proud to be

involved in the distribution of this substance.

I know. I know you would be, too, because Thrill, it doesn't ruin your

doesn't ruin your body. It doesn't even leave you with a hangover. It just kills

you.

Okay, okay.

I'm not going to lie to you. We had a little trouble with some of the early

pills that hit the streets. I mean, but come on. Let's be honest. What do you

think? The first guy that ate bread mold kicked a clap?

Come on. Madame Curie, I'm sure she killed dozens and dozens of guys before

figured out how to turn that musty old roll into penicillin. Waldo's not only a

gentleman, but he's a scholar. It's true. I'm very smart. But penicillin,

penicillin is nothing compared to the potential of thrill. Now, imagine this.

Imagine one little pill. You take it. All your fears, all your inhibitions

away. Your strength is tripled, and your sense of pain is gone. It's gone

forever. Forever. Forever.

Yeah, forever, for eight hours. What are we going to do, split hairs? I mean, it

lasts as long as the drug lasts.

But during that time, during that time, whatever you want, you're going to have

the will to get and the strength to grab. We're going to turn L .A. into a

of supermen. And, baby, super chicks, too. Sounds too good to be true.

Okay, Kyle, why don't you try it for yourself?

And while you're at it, you can see who you really are.

Nice. But in my experience, you either sell drugs or you use them.

You do both, you end up dead.

Hey.

She gets high on life and clean living.

Shoot yourself.

Oh, oh, oh, that's terrible.

Oh, wow.

Oh. Come on, pick her up.

That's lovely.

You all right, honey?

There you go.

Look, here's how I do it. You don't have to take thrill to enjoy its potential.

You know what kind of potential I'm talking about?

Kyle, I'm talking about profit potential.

Profit potential for my network of sub -distributors, and I know you could be

one of them, but this is a limited time offer. I need an answer fast. This thing

is the Amazon .com of drugs. I'm telling you, once this starts rolling, you're

not going to be able to afford to come on board.

I'm not so sure the thrill lives up to the hype.

So much better!

You know what I've been wanting to do ever since I got here?

Frank!

Frank!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's nice and all, but I hope you realize there's no safety net underneath

this deck.

Good.

Grace, come on down.

Why? Am I scaring you?

No, but... What about now?

No.

Grace, please, just come on.

Grace, listen to me.

I think Waldo's putting thrill into your coffee. That's why you're acting like

this.

Really? Is that why?

I don't think so.

We're at a dead end.

Forensics says the medical supply place was as clean as June Cleaver's kitchen,

and Ballistic hasn't been able to come up with anything that would lead us to

the shooters.

We got this.

That's an old .386.

I'm surprised that thing still works.

It doesn't, or at least it didn't. It belonged to one of the murdered

He was a medical supply salesman. I took the repair receipt out of his wallet

and went to pick up this computer.

Now, why do you think a salesman would use an old dinosaur like this?

Tracking salesman customers?

Do you still have those serial numbers for the autopsy equipment we pulled?

You realize this is a long shot, right?

Yeah, a brother can dream, though, can't he?

Why do you keep saying that?

Because sometimes dreams come true.

The equipment was sold to Dr. Avery Decker, Palo Vista Medical Center, Agora

Hills.

Well, incredible, wasn't it?

Just being next to someone who's thrilling, it's, what is it? It's

huh?

Yeah, it was something.

Yeah. She liked it, didn't she? Huh? Huh? Yeah. Oh, look at that little

in your eyes. That tells me that you liked it, too.

You got the point across.

Oh, great. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

All right, then. Let's, uh...

Let's talk territory. Okay, let's talk some territory. Now, here's what's going

to happen. I'm going to handle the West Side personally because, well, that's

where trends are born and the prices are high.

But what do you want? I mean, you want the valley, the desert, Orange County,

you name it, you got it. I'm going to give you exclusive territory.

I think we have a little misunderstanding here.

What do you want, multiple territories?

I mean, I'm a little hesitant, but, you know, if you think you can handle it.

I'm going to take it all.

And if you're lucky, I'll keep you on as a pill counter. Now, I need the name of

your supplier.

What?

But I'm going to tell you who my supplier is. He doesn't know you. He

want to meet you. I'm the man.

I'm the one he trusts. I'm the one.

I'm the one with the exclusive rights. What are you? You're just some... I

know who you are. You're some... Some what?

Some thug?

Some criminal? Some killer?

No, come on. Man, you're my friend. I didn't mean anything. No, no, no, no,

no. Come on.

I'm not a thug or a criminal or a killer. Hmm?

Maybe.

I'm all of this, Waldo, and more.

Maybe I'm the worst human being you could ever imagine. You're the worst

nightmare. Oh, God, I'm so sorry. But there is one thing that I wouldn't do,

that's let the drug in if someone's drinking. Of course, you wanted to try.

poisoned my friend, Waldo.

And for that, you lose your rights, all of your rights. And now, you're going to

introduce me to your supplier, or I'm going to introduce you to Mr. Smith and

Mr. Whitley.

Oh, God, I can't. I don't know where my second seat is.

Wait a minute. I thought you said you were the man.

me which P .O. box to buy the pills. Please don't kill me, Steve.

And I suggest you call him right now.

What the hell are you doing here?

How did you find this place?

He's my guest.

Who told this pusher how to find our secret lab?

He had a business proposition that amused me. I was calling for you, and he

you were his partner.

Scorpio doesn't encourage moonlighting. My work with Scorpio is almost complete.

Now I'm looking out for my future.

With this worm?

He's in business with a man who's prepared to set up a nationwide

of thrills. And all I want is a little finder's feet. You know, like a finder's

feet.

Tell your partner I want to meet him and forget you were ever here.

I will explain.

exploit the market potential of this drug in whatever way I see fit.

Let me remind you, Miss Bock, thrill is mine.

The formula exists in my head only.

You would be wise not to upset me.

Miss Bock?

Good day. The terrorist leaders have arrived in Budapest. I certainly hope

haven't traveled so far for nothing.

We've done extensive testing on the latest modification of Thrill.

It's everything we hoped and ready for demonstration.

I'd prefer to hear it from the doctor.

Is the drug safe?

It will still kill some people who take it.

But no more than your average over -the -counter cold medication does.

It's a statistically insignificant percentage.

Then you won't object to taking the pill right now, will you, doctor?

Not at all.

Good. I hope you survive, Doctor.

And that tomorrow we can both watch as any hope for world peace is smashed to

dust.

Stay still.

What, are you coming back for more? Nothing happened.

I did that so it would stay that way.

I remember being... Waldo slipped you some

thrill, and then you were up on the railing, and then you were on me, but

nothing happened.

Why not?

I wasn't interested.

Sorry I bothered you.

If something's going to happen, it's going to be between us, not me and some

pill.

Stay here.

You're in no shape to go anywhere.

Where are you going?

Well, now there are another three looking fatal after your business

So, I'm going to convince them they need a new distributor.

Stay here.

Let's do it, big dog.

I spent the day watching a parable about class relations in America.

Gilligan's Island?

The struggle between rich and poor.

could have been written by Mao.

But one thing confuses me.

What's your question, Samuel? Why did those people bring so many clothes if

were only going on a three -hour tour?

Jarrell?

Maybe they took the tour on the way to the airport and they had their luggage

with them.

Why didn't they leave the luggage in the car?

Maybe they were afraid their suitcases would be stolen.

I see.

Now that we've helped you solve a mystery, maybe you can help us solve

We traced the medical equipment back to a doctor at the Palo Vista Medical

Center, but he's disappeared.

We ran his name through DMV, credit reporting agencies, the work. We got

nothing.

We don't know where to turn next.

They call me a specialist to look at my leg.

He gave me his card.

It was very interesting.

In China, a doctor just put his name and number on the card.

Here is different.

Phone, fax, email address, website.

You're right, Samuel.

Dr. Joseph Everton, M .D., a medical corporation. He sure crams a lot onto a

card. Nice logo, too.

Look, we got to go. You should get some sleep.

Oh, wait.

Of course.

Decker's probably a corporation, which means he has a federal I .D. number and

current address.

That could be a way to find him.

There's something that still bothers me.

What is it? Why didn't Gilligan bring a chance of closing?

Hey, look.

If you've got questions about the Jefferson, hit me on my cell phone,

We've got to go. We've got a lot of work to do. Get some rest, then.

Welcome to Budapest, gentlemen.

For many of you, it wasn't easy to get here.

But your efforts will be amply rewarded.

you are about to witness the implementation of the most powerful

weapon yet devised.

Virtually impossible to detect, readily available, and easily transported to any

place on Earth.

Behold its lethal simplicity.

A tiny blue pill that can turn any soldier into a superhuman killing

with no thought of the consequences, with absolutely no regard for human

even his own.

And for a small price, Scorpio will sell you enough pills to win the revolution

of your choice.

A pill will never replace a bullet.

A reasonable assumption until you've seen what thrill can do.

This is Community General Hospital in Los Angeles.

Somewhere inside that building, protected by the full might of the

Service, the State Department's top Middle East negotiator, Ludlow Teal, is

having a brain tumor removed.

Priority one.

Kowalski, move that woman out of our way.

Just because we get paid to take bullets doesn't mean I want to.

A U .S.-brokered peace deal in the region will make you all refugees

government protection.

The best thing that could happen is if he dies on the table, one way or

You can't get to him in there.

It would be suicide.

Most certainly.

And that thought would cloud even the most devoted soldier's thinking.

Until now.

The volunteers you sent to Los Angeles have each taken one of those pills.

In a few moments, you will see those men achieve the impossible.

They will attack the hospital and kill Ludlow Teal and any living thing that

stands in their way.

You were right about what you said.

It was dangerous not to confront my real reason for wanting to see Kyle Strode

again.

And those feelings came out at a time when I had no control over them.

You are not responsible for your actions.

I'm supposed to bring him down.

That's my job.

Now I don't know whether or not I'll be able to do it when the time comes.

You were doing the right thing, Pepe.

I knew it.

Commanders are sometimes... They don't even seem to be dodging the bullets.

don't care whether they get shot or not.

They're taking thrill.

Get out of this place.

We have a live feed from the hospital surveillance cameras.

Notice the security forces are woefully unprepared for a direct attack.

They are trained under the assumption that their adversaries want to survive.

That, gentlemen, is our opponent's fatal weakness.

The superior adversary emboldened by thrill.

You okay?

Samo law.

Perhaps we need to do some more testing.

This is the organization everyone is so afraid of?

Scorpio.

Scorpio is the cult of imbeciles.

It was worth the trip to come to see you for what you are.

A choke.

We

don't

abide failure. The world must never know about humiliation today.

Erase all traces of this operation, Miss Park.

And then myself.

That won't be necessary.

You are not to blame for this. I am. For letting Sam O 'Law live and allowing

fate to conspire against me.

That's a mistake I will now correct personally.

Waldo. All right, I give.

Come on out.

Waldo couldn't wait, Mr. Strode.

He had somewhere more important to go.

We'd like you to join us.

You want a distributor for your drug?

Well, that's why I'm here.

Scorpio could use someone with your initiative.

Amy and Terrell found Decker's lab.

Unfortunately, Scorpio's cleaning crew got there before them. All they left was

his body.

And they found a tap on the hospital surveillance system.

Someone was watching everything that happened here.

No one.

He knows you were responsible for their failure.

Think it will make him angry?

That's what you want, isn't it?

If it gets him out of the shadows and into the light, yes.

The battle between us is only beginning.

If Gilligan and his friends are on an attached island...

If

Gilligan is friends...

Why

are people always so unfair?

And why don't any of them, them back up, help up?

Help me!

Next.

Good evening, Mr. Bob.

We continue the countdown for the release of Casino Royale.

Hi, I'm Plenty.

But of course you are.

Connery is bombed in Diamonds Are Forever, next here on ITV4.
