Original subtitles

I'm sorry, sir, we're closed. I'm sorry, sir, we... You like it?

It's extraordinary workmanship.

And the jewels look real.

Oh, they are.

Naturally, for a collar such as this, I need a very elegant cat.

A nice, big, fat one.

Well, I'm a bit confused there.

Which do you wish, elegant or fat?

What I need is the kind of cat that gets himself stolen.

You're free.

Go away.

Ah,

we won't be needing this, will we?

I wasn't doing nothing.

Found a cat, that's all.

No crime there, is there?

Just found a straight cat, is all I did.

Well, there's nothing wrong there, is there?

That's for finding him.

Where do you take them?

I don't take them nowhere.

I get barred.

I'd take them to Corby.

Who's Corby?

Just Corby.

He and his chum.

They've got this whole house all stocked up with cats.

Loves cats.

Hates to see them walk the street, you might say.

You know, hazy for me to bring them to the house.

Two bob.

Five bob if it's a special big one.

Loves big cats, they do.

One more question.

Where do I find this house with Corby and his chum?

He's on his way up.

Sit down.

You recognize the subject, Mr. Zolo?

Benjamin Lancer, Ph .D., Dean Emeritus, Harvard National Science Award for

work in genetic linkages and X -ray -induced mutations.

Very good, Mr. Zolo.

He also shared the Nobel Prize in 1952.

For his research into the aging process of cats.

He maintained that cats are remarkably similar to human beings in that regard.

He retired three years ago.

That's when this picture was taken.

And I would say that was the same man about 30 years ago. This picture was

taken last week, Mr. Zorro.

The son?

There's no record of his son to Dr. Lancer.

That doesn't change the picture, Annie.

There's another fact you should know. If these two pictures represent father and

son, then we must consider the fact that the two sets of fingerprints which

accompanied the pictures are identical.

Well, fingerprints have been faked before, sir. I'd like to see both men

positive identification.

Get a retinal pattern, for example.

I'd like to talk to Dr. Lancer.

You'll have to find him first, however.

He's disappeared.

Thrush?

Not yet.

So far as we know.

But I dare say that an organization with Thrush's capacity for evil won't be out

of the picture very long.

I suggest you waste no time in seeking out Dr. Lancer.

Are you going to give me any hint, or shall I start from scratch?

He does have a daughter. A lot of life.

She's a model for the House of De Sala in Paris.

Well, thank you.

Oh, Mr.

Zolo.

When you contact Miss Lancer, please keep it in mind that although you are

investigating a biological mystery, your relationship with Miss Lancer on behalf

of Uncle is research of another order.

Duty first.

Will I have time to stop in London and see Kiriakhin in the hospital?

Mr. Geary, I can left the hospital this morning.

Right now he's back chasing cats and so ho.

I am Madame de Sala.

How do you do?

Enchante.

Napoleon Solo.

What do you wish, monsieur?

I just told your charming young lady the exact truth. I want to see Miss Lancer.

For what purpose?

What may just not concern you?

Everything here concerns me.

Do you think because she is a model you may just come in and just, just...

Scout's honor, just just is the last thing in my mind. Who are you and what

you wish?

When those two are answered, I shall decide if you are to see Lorelei or no.

Thank you. Good afternoon.

I have no trouble introducing myself. If it's too much of a burden for you.

Lorelei, this is a man who calls himself Napoleon Solo, whoever that might be.

He wishes to speak with you.

I would advise you not.

Thank you.

I want to ask you about your father, Miss Lancer. I'm sorry, Mr. Soto. I

don't wish to speak to you.

Miss Lancer, I must reach your father. His life may depend on it.

You can reach me here.

You may lead this way.

Sorry, child.

I know that was an embarrassment.

Madame, why didn't you want me to talk to him?

I am worried about my father.

Leave. Leave us, please.

Please.

Thank you.

Why is because he is the enemy.

In what way? Because we are women.

How can I explain to you a whole history of the world which we did not create?

They put it together. They did.

Why do you think I engage myself in the making and selling of dressing?

Do you perhaps believe it is all which I'm capable?

Do you think I wish nothing else in life?

I want.

I want that which belongs to me no less than to a man.

It is power.

A power that is almost within my grasp.

No, it is not fantasy.

It is not madness.

In a world controlled by men, I have found a way to control the controllers.

But you will understand when you are told.

Where is my father, madame?

I cannot tell you even that.

Please don't press me.

But believe in me, and do not converse with that man again. I beg of you, your

life may depend upon it.

This needs something more fluid.

Olga, the beads.

She will not talk to that man again.

You will see to it.

Dodo, are you going home tonight right after the showing?

Mm -hmm.

Long enough to turn to my clothes.

Do you have a date?

Maurice. I want you to stay with Lorelei this evening.

It's important.

I see.

What if she's going out?

She's not.

I want you to stay with her in her flat.

You live right next door. It shouldn't be too difficult to think of some

or other.

Why? I want to make sure she doesn't telephone to Mr.

Solo. If you think she's going to, you call me.

I can be there in ten minutes.

What if I can't stall her that long?

I've discovered that this has great persuasive power.

Get away, dog.

Open channel D, please.

Napoleon?

Well, you don't sound at all like Mr. Waverly.

Not really, Napoleon.

Mr. Waverly made me your contact woman.

He shows impeccable taste, Wanda.

It's a beautiful moon here. How's yours?

We don't have any.

It's only five o 'clock.

Oh, well, I'll have to share this one with you, then.

In the first place, it's different than the one you have at home.

It's a girl moon.

And her eyes are open very wide, and her mouth is open in the shape of an O, as

though she's just been kissed.

Hmm.

Lucky moon.

I presume that's Mr. Solo.

Actually, sir, Bob, Well, will you please tell him that if he runs into Mr.

Curiakin... Mr. Curiakin is... Well... Well, Mr. Curiakin is spending

too much money on cats.

I'll pronounce people getting restless.

Now, the reason I called you, Wanda, I'm an extraordinary woman this afternoon.

Don't you always.

She's not exactly my type. I'll need a dossier on her. Her name is Madame de

Sala.

You brought Professor Gretzky with me.

Professor Gretzky will make all of his preparations tonight. And by morning,

will have your first treatment.

There is a time to die.

Go, please. Make everything ready.

Cold.

Too late, Rainer. Too late.

It's the enemy.

It wounds you with its days.

We will wound time.

You and I and Gretzky.

I have no purpose to fight.

I remember when they turned out Winston Churchill. I was hardly an old man then.

I thought, how dare they do this? How dare they?

And then my turn came and...

I was far more angry because it was me where I thought, let them get on without

me.

They did.

But what have they done?

Is this the kind of world you would have made?

I ran out of time.

I don't want it now, Rainer.

I lie awake wondering how to move puny people to great purposes.

When I was ten years old, I was in love with you.

I would say to myself, one day I will marry him.

How I raced.

How I raced to grow up fast.

Do you remember when I was sixteen and I would sit by your side with my head on

your lap?

I love you still, my Norman.

Yes, you have run out of time.

But that is all.

And we can give that back to you.

Do you remember the power you once had?

It was in you.

When I was a very little girl and I would learn that you were going to go

room, I would race to get to that room before you.

The room itself would change.

If there were people in it, they would stop and wait and listen to me. what you

would say to them.

How I longed then to take your hand and walk with you through the halls of

power.

To feel that terrible strength going from you into me.

And it shall be.

Take my hand, Norman, and let me lead you back to greatness.

My mind's just not on cards tonight.

Well, I didn't think it was when I blitzed you three times.

What are you thinking of?

Dodo, would you mind?

I mean, I'm awfully tired. I would like to... I bet you want to call Mr.

Solo.

I told you, he's not a boyfriend.

He's a car salesman.

All right, I'll go as soon as you fix me a drink.

A little whiskey and soda?

Whiskey and soda.

Hello, Maurice.

Dodo.

I understand.

Dodo? In here.

Dodo, please.

Oh, God.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

I don't know what's come over her. All of a sudden, she got that knife and she

came after me. Poor child, it has been a traumatic experience for you, hasn't

it? You shouldn't have frightened her, though.

She was being very difficult.

Look, I was so frightened that I just don't understand what's happened. There

are so many things you don't understand, my dear.

See where that leads.

I'll explain it all to you in a moment.

Hello? It's Miss Lancer there. This is Napoleon Solo.

Just a moment, please.

It's Solo.

Solo. I have to tell him to come over.

What?

Mr. Solo, Lorelei had to step out a few moments, but I know she did want to

speak to you.

Good. Do you have the address?

Yes.

I'm so glad.

Close the door.

Is that the answer?

Hello. Are you Mr.

Solo?

Yes, I am.

I'm Dodo.

I live over there.

I just spoke to you on the phone, remember?

Oh, uh, Miss Lancer hasn't returned yet.

Oh, no, no, she, uh... Well, I guess she'll be back soon. She left the coffee

pot on.

Would you like a little drinky while you wait?

No, thank you. I'll just, uh, have a little coffee.

Oh, do you like cats, Mr. Zolo?

Well, a friend of mine has recently become a cat fancier. I guess a little

may have rubbed off on me.

Now, sugar, sugar, sugar, where is it?

That's all right. I'll just take some cream.

Do you mind if I make myself a little drink?

No, be my guest.

Oh, not that I drink much, Mr. Solo.

I mean, you know, I wouldn't want you to get the impression that I was the kind

of girl who drinks a lot.

Perish the thought.

Do you have any advice?

And believe me, that's very hard.

It is?

Well, you know, for a girl who looks like me.

Well, I'm, uh...

I'm sure your mother raised you quite properly.

Oh, she did.

You know one thing she said to me?

Helga? Oh, Helga's my real name. We come from Hamburg.

I used to be in the theater there. I mean, right now I'm working as a model,

I'm really an actress.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to be in a review in London.

So if you're ever over there... Anyway, my mother always told me... Make a nice

cup of coffee, Dodo. Now, where's Miss Lam?

That's in Texas.

I couldn't help but hear the commotion. Was this fella bothering you?

Okay, buddy.

On your feet.

Now, come on.

Come on. Oh, boy.

Wait a minute.

Where's the girl? Hey!

You sound like an American.

I'll bet you are.

I ought to call the gendarmes. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, taking

advantage of a poor, defenseless woman.

You know, it's fellas like you that gives us tourists the bad name.

All right.

Now, look, buddy, I don't know what this is all about, but it sure don't look

right to me.

Ooh, that little lady sure did show a big hunk out of your ear, huh?

I bet that's Moritz.

Without me.

There's a police station a couple of doors from here. Why don't you run down

there and get a couple of gendarmes and bring them back?

Huh?

Oh! Oh, yeah.

You bet.

If you have to reach me, you can do so in care of Philip Bainbridge at the

Club in London.

Good afternoon, sir. Be out of me way, will you, man?

I must give him his medicine.

We do not allow female persons on the premises.

I am not a female person.

I am a registered nurse.

Nevertheless, you are not a male nurse.

Do you mean to say that in a matter of life and death, you would not allow me

in? Under all circumstances, there has never been a woman in the Byron Club.

Has none of you a mother?

Those members who have arranged to meet their mothers on the outside.

To whom should the medicine be given?

I would not trust you with an aspirin.

I'd offer you my shoulder to cry on, but we haven't been formally introduced.

But if you like, I'll take your medicine inside for you.

It is for Sir Norman Swickard.

And he understands the manner of the medication.

And as for myself, I wouldn't care to be introduced to a gentleman.

Who meet his mother on the outside.

I'm Napoleon Solo. I have an appointment with Philip Bainbridge.

Lyons, sir.

Is it really you?

Try me.

What is the Bridge of Lyons?

The private chess society.

What was your most recent move?

Queen to black queen's bishop four.

Describe to me the events of November the 3rd, 1919.

November 3rd is my birthday.

In 1919, I was 37 years old.

You and I were part of the Mackinson Polar Expedition of that year.

On November 3rd, we were on the ice pack north of Greenland, debating if we

should shoot a polar bear we had tracked.

Nearly 50 years ago.

I couldn't believe the process worked. I had to come and see for myself.

But why this Bainbridge? Why the alias?

You wouldn't want our secret to leak out, would you?

If only I'd had this at the right time.

Five more years I needed and they'd turn me out.

Norman, now we can give you 25 years.

Good heavens!

A WOMAN!

Quickly! What happened? There was a slight mistake.

You'd better go up there.

What did you do? Leave me alone.

Oh, stop.

Oh, stop it.

Olga, shoot him.

You're standing in the middle of the driveway.

It's very dangerous. People get hurt that way.

This is private property, sir, and you're trespassing.

Unless, of course, I'm a guest.

You don't look like a guest to me, sir.

You're an American, aren't you?

Yes, sir, I am.

Good day, sir.

You a member of the Bridge of Lions, sir?

Sir?

Although you feel free to study those boards, they are the property of the

Bridge of Lions. Their examination is privileged to the membership of that

society. Well, I'm sorry, sir, if I offended you by looking at the games.

If this is about today's murder, immediately I left the Byram Club.

I went to New Scotland Yard and made a full statement.

If you like, I shall arrange to furnish you with a copy.

They already have.

Sir, was Dr. Lancer killed at the Byram Club today?

And I do hereby assert of my own free will and under sacred oath that I did

day witness the death by murder of Philip Bainbridge.

You haven't answered my question, sir.

Did you see Bainbridge?

If he'd been Lancer, he'd have to be 83 years old.

That's not the question, sir.

The question is, who was Philip Bainbridge?

And was he Benjamin Lancer?

And will you vouch that he was not?

This is Benjamin Lance's board.

We all have our own board so that we can play by mail when we're not together.

Did you know that over 30 million deaths were caused by World War I?

Unnecessary. An accident of history brought about by a breakdown of

communications. Not between nations.

but between men, the men who create history, who speak for the nations, who

yes and no to fate.

It was then that I decided to build a bridge between the great men and the

minds of the world, a bridge of lions, so that the borders of the nations could

not come between these men when they desired to communicate with each other.

Sir Norman.

Who was killed at the Byron Club today?

Queen, the Black Queen.

Bishops, four.

Sir?

Philip Bainbridge.

Where is Benjamin Lancer, then?

Dead.

Just as Philip Bainbridge is dead.

Napoleon. Come in, Napoleon.

Napoleon Solo on channel.

And how shines the moon on the England's fair land?

Oh, sorry to disenchant you, my dear. It shines about at all.

Napoleon, I'm counting the days till our moon shines.

Oh, by the way, I got that dossier you wanted.

Report, my child, with regard to a certain Madame de Sala. That

woman. A pure hostility caused by sheer envy.

Madame was born in 1931.

Her mother died the same year. Her father died nine years later. He was a

general and a member of the Bridge of Lions.

But Sir Norman Swickert took the child into his house to bring her up.

That's a good beginning for a Victorian novel.

She owns a cosmetics company and two establishments of haute couture. One for

the rich rich, the other for the poor rich.

All original capital supplied by Sir Norman, who remains a major partner.

Leaving out the Bridge of Lions, is there any connection between either

or De Sala and Lancer?

There's a biochemist named Alexander Gritsky, financed by De Sala's cosmetic

company. Hormone research.

Gritsky used to be a pupil of Lancer.

Napoleon?

Contact with Mr. Solo and his channel's still open.

Camel Station.

Waverly speaking.

Mr. Solo, we're trying to contact you.

Can you respond?

Mr. Solo, can you respond?

Please, don't shout.

Mr. Solo's going to have a very nasty headache as it is.

If he recovers consciousness.

You might send him a couple of aspirins if you care.

About three and a half miles just north of Lesser Littlehampton.

Who is this?

Jardine is the name.

Hello?

Hello?

Jardine.

Jardine.

Hand me the Thrash Europe volume, please.

Just as I thought.

Hello, kitty.

What did they do to you?

How did you become a little kitten? You were a big cat the last time I saw you.

Ilya? Ilya?

Very funny.

Ilya.

Is that who you're looking for?

His name is Corby.

He collected cats.

I'm looking for a biochemist named Alexander Gritsky.

He's the man that Corby collected the cat.

Did you know that the nervous system of a cat is the closest thing to the

nervous system of a human?

Did you know that?

Corby collected cats, and only cats.

Where do the kittens come from?

Hatpin.

Hatpin.

I think this is the hat the hatpin was in before it was in Mr. Corby.

You know who put up the money for the House of De Sala?

Swickard. Sir Norman Swickard.

I would like to go for a little ride in the country.

Sir Swickard has a lovely place in the country.

If I can't get an explanation of what you're talking about, I'll settle for

ride.

No change.

There is no change.

What do you think? We are science fiction?

We are like those hormone creams you advertise in the magazines? Smear on,

off, and underneath is a new face? I thought it would be finished.

It is begun.

The whole metabolism of the body is in a new order.

We don't do this. The body does it by itself.

Cell by cell.

You should be saying, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Well, I...

what do you think I am? Well, I am enough of a lady so that I wouldn't know

to think what I think you are. Yes, I'd like to introduce you to my chaperone,

Mr. Kayarka. This is Miss Sweet. Well, if you're going to be looking at me in

nightgown, well, you should be red -faced.

Well, I think all that's necessary is that we speak to the girl and orient her

as to who we are and what we are and the principles that we stand for, and I

think it...

Good morning.

Your friend having a little trouble?

A little enough.

He's dead.

That's very unusual.

Seventy -three percent of all accidents happen in the home.

Very rarely do you find somebody who dies in a wine bath.

I think his heart gave out.

Sheer terror.

Killed him.

Jordin is the name. J -O -R -D -I -N.

Insurance game, in a way.

Most insurance men sell you something to settle the damages after something

happens. My specialty is prevention.

Who carries your papers?

Oh, it goes this way and that.

Sometimes I carry my own paper, and sometimes I get somebody to underwrite

Clutch, for example?

Ah, the world is full of birds.

I don't suppose you would mind answering a couple of questions, would you, Mr.

Solo? Actually, Mr. Jourdain, I answer questions much better when I'm not

standing at the bottom of a wine vat.

Next time, you'll play dead, and I'll make up the reason why.

Quiet, please.

And now, if you don't mind, take off your jacket, please.

Just drop it anywhere.

And the gun.

I've already been relieved of that.

The holster, then.

And one shoe.

Either one.

Thank you.

Remember, there's one shoe bit. It's very good.

Close you just enough off balance to slow you down a bit. Give me a little

Sit down, please.

Sit on your hands.

Palms up, if you don't mind.

Makes it harder to get up again, doesn't it?

That's my impression.

I don't mean to complain. You've been very nice and all that, but it is a

cold in here.

down to cases, review the data, bring everything up to date, and go on from

there.

Now, we, um, we have a biochemist named, uh,

Lancer, who disappears for a while, and the next time we see him, he calls

himself Bainbridge, and appears to be 30 years younger.

Is appearance reality?

Is Bainbridge really Lancer?

Now we look and another biochemist disappears.

A former student and associate of Lance's called Professor Alexander

What is Uncle Agent Napoleon Solo's interest in all this?

Now Uncle sends another agent, Ilya Kuryakin, to the London Soho.

Kuryakin follows Katz.

Questions. Why does Kuryakin... Lazarus.

I beg pardon?

Lazarus, the, uh...

A chap who rose from the dead.

Mr. Jordan!

Look out, Napoleon!

I thought

you

had a little more style than to try an old trick like that. I don't know what

you mean.

Well, money clip, I'm surprised at you. It is also a bomb.

Really? Really.

Really?

Thank you, Sir Charles.

How are you?

Good to see you all again.

Excuse me for one moment.

Gentlemen.

Well, I must say, Sir Norman, you look a good deal younger than the last time we

met. So it appears.

We shall have to have your secret, sir.

What secret?

Whether or not you describe it as a miracle.

A genuine process of rejuvenation does exist, doesn't it?

Does it?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Lancer and Professor Alexander Gritsky.

Go on.

And since Dr.

Lancer is dead, the power of the process remains with Professor Gritsky.

A fair deduction.

Will you tell us where Professor Gritsky is, so we can protect him?

From whom?

There are probably thrush agents in the Byron Club right now, ready to snatch

your secret and put it to their own use.

Mr. Sorrow, you are laboring under a terrible misapprehension.

The only secret in my possession is my marriage to Madame de Sala.

And that will only be a secret until tomorrow when it is announced in all the

papers. Sir Norman, a truly effective process of rejuvenation is no joking

matter. I quite agree.

But until one has been discovered...

I can only recommend the one I have tried.

Marriage to the right woman.

What you see in me is only a reflection of what my wife sees.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a great number of people waiting for me

outside.

Good day, gentlemen.

I must say, Mr. Norman, is everything the swickered legend says he is.

All right, where do we go from here?

Well, what if we were thrush?

What do we want?

Want Sir Norman, or do we want... want what?

I think our friends from Thrush have been eavesdropping.

Well, it won't be the first time.

Let's see what kind of an earache we can give them.

Too late, my friends.

Too late. Sugar?

Spread out.

Bring the stretcher.

Time to go.

In one moment.

Have you been introduced?

Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kiryakin responding.

What further developments, Mr. Solo?

Ah, it's very quiet here, sir. Mrs. Wickard has made two calls. The second

was answered by the police in her office, so she knows about the murder

kidnapping. Anything on your end?

We picked up the ambulance they used to carry Gritsky.

They left it at a small private airport and then continued on with Gritsky by

plane.

That's the last we know of them, to now.

So stay with it, Mr. Solo. You and Mr. Fuhrer, I reckon.

They must certainly try to contact Mrs. Swigert.

Yes, sir. We shall be there, sir.

Let's hope so, Mr. Solo.

Hello? I'd like to speak to the lady of the house.

Yes, I'm listening.

Jordine is the name. J -O -R -D -I -N.

Insurance with a difference.

We prevent... sickness or accident before it happens.

Yes?

We recently acquired a client who may need some prevention by the name of

Alexander Gritsky.

I am listening very carefully.

Yes, well, in view of the present condition of your husband, we thought we

kill two birds with one stone.

Well, I'd like to get together with you and discuss the whole package. Why don't

you get into your car?

and take a little drive by way of Marsh Ealing.

Just go straight on through the village and see what happens after that.

Miss Sweet.

What do you want with him? Just be quiet.

You are to take your hands off of him. I'm just trying to awaken him.

Well, you'll have no luck with it. I can promise you that.

The man is asleep with a heavy sedation. So you can spare yourself the effort

and keep your hands off of him.

Napoleon told us.

Napoleon, Lady Swickard's car is approaching.

All right, I'll talk to you later, William.

You've crumpled my fender.

Will you please get your car out of our way? You've crumpled my fender. Will you

please move that car?

Yes, ma 'am.

Lady Swickard, I presume. Yes, it is. And I'm willing to concede absolutely

it is our fault. Now, will you please let us get on? Insurance.

Do you have a pencil?

These are my formalities, you know.

Please. Would you mind awfully if I...

Something to lean on to damage the paint.

Fleeting, will you please hurry?

Yes, ma 'am.

Hi.

Yes.

John and Rupert.

Good morning.

Was that really necessary?

Oh, he isn't dead.

I just put him to sleep with a tranquilizing charge.

Mind you, I'll have to have him killed if I can't come to an agreement with

As you did with Olga.

Ah, self -defense there.

I think we should talk very directly.

Yes.

Last night, before we took Professor Gritsky, you had power.

Now you don't. If you want us to, we'll give it back to you.

Who is your we?

A thrush.

And what do you require of me?

Oh, simply that from time to time, as you guide your husband through the

treacherous paths of political decision, you allow yourself to be guided by us.

I see.

Why is there no sound of her?

She's thinking.

Very well.

I shall do it for my husband.

Lucky man.

I'm glad he is asleep and cannot hear that.

Well, if he had heard it, he would have had to believe it.

And where would he find the wanting to live in that case?

Man's fate, my dear, you must take the bitter with the sweet.

You're not as wise as you think.

You're not wise at all. You're nothing but a young man without any feeling.

Mr. Solo, do not force him to know.

It would be an unkindness such as you could never imagine.

Oh, last night he was so content.

Looking forward to this evening.

What's happening this evening?

Oh, there is to be a meeting with a great many of the most important

men.

He was working on his speech.

Overseas relay.

Channel D. Napoleon Solo.

Yes, come in, Mr. Solo.

May I assume, sir, that you know Sir Norman Swickard very well?

Since before you were born, Mr. Solo.

I think you should come to England tonight and talk to him personally.

I have it on good authority that... I'm a very young man and not wise enough.

That there's going to be a decisive meeting tonight at Sir Norman's house.

Oh, well, all right, I can just make it.

All right, Mr. Solo, I'll join you there tonight.

Get his medicine. It's on the table over there.

No, no, Mr. Solo.

Back to the old wine press for you, I'm afraid.

Come on, Professor. We haven't got all day.

Enormous strains on the heart take place in this process. This man is in no

condition to undergo a treatment now.

His pulse is racing. His systolic pressure is dangerously high. It is only

excitement.

I do not kill anyone for anybody.

I am a scientist. I do what is the right thing to do.

Be careful, Professor.

With a small additional effort, it should be possible to replace you with a

computer. This isn't leading us anywhere.

Why don't you let me talk to the good professor alone?

After all, it's my life he's worried about.

I'm certain I can persuade him of the absolute necessity of going through with

it.

Farewell, but don't be too long.

Stay here and keep an eye on things.

I am in a situation that does not allow...

Consideration of fragility.

You do not understand what is involved here.

We reverse all the metabolic processes at an accelerated rate. We go too fast,

you end up as a boy.

A dead boy.

All I need is a few more hours of strength to do what has to be done.

It is a great risk, Sir Norman.

Great causes require great risks. When in doubt, press on, my friend, press on.

Excelsior.

There is no one to help us but ourselves.

Lady Prickard?

Yes.

I'm Alexander Waverley.

I'm an old friend of Sir Norman's. I happen to be in London. I felt I

leave without paying my respects.

I'm sure Sir Norman will be delighted.

Mr. Jourdain will take care of you. Mr... Waverley. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm

bad at remembering new names.

Would you excuse me, please?

Gentlemen, shall we go in?

You please come with me, Mr. Waverley.

So you're Jardine.

Your humble servant, sir.

Young man, if you had half the manners you pretend to have, you'd have first

allowed me to get rid of my coat and things.

Then you would have pointed your gun at me.

A nice point, sir.

My apologies.

With regard to your apologies, you left my umbrella.

What makes you think it's so innocent as it seems?

Anything can be built into an umbrella.

Once more I stand corrected.

And once more I apologize.

Yes, apologies, apologies.

But when one has good manners, there's no need to apologize.

Where is Sir Norman?

It may be a little while before he can see you.

Meantime... Let me show you where you can wait.

Piccolo, there you are.

The young lady with you, of course.

Miss Sweet, Mr. Waverly.

How do you do, sir?

Miss Sweet?

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

I'm afraid this trip wasn't necessary. I would have let you know sooner, but

they cut off my mailing privileges.

Mr. Thurlow, I wouldn't have missed this discussion for anything.

However, I must be back in New York by tomorrow noon, latest.

So I'm afraid we're going to be somewhat pressed.

No pun intended.

I still think I should not have allowed you to talk me into this, Sir Norman. I

do not like the way your heart beats.

I feel fine.

This is a great thing you've discovered, you and Lancer.

The dream of the ages realized.

A fountain of youth.

What a temptation to a man fighting the onset of age.

Is that so wrong?

Yes, it is.

It's a terrible thing when a dream becomes a nightmare.

I've lived with it for some time now. I know what it's done to me.

It's made me a helpless puppet in the hands of those who control the process.

But, Sir Norman, they do not have the formula. It is only I who possess the

secret. How long do you suppose it'll be before they force you to disclose it?

I've thought of this many times, Sir Norman.

I'm afraid it is too late now.

Not if we bury the secret right here and now.

Then you'll have to bury...

You'll have to

bury me with the secret.

That is the hardest part of it.

And now that I understand you better...

Let me remind you of the consequences of any betrayal.

I'm sorry, Professor, but you do understand, don't you?

You'll have all the time in the world for explanations later.

Right now you have to get changed.

You have a room full of guests waiting for you.

Goodbye, Professor.

I hope you know what has to be done.

We never did settle the matter of my broken fender with Sir Norman, so would

mind opening the gates like a good fellow? No visitors tonight.

Some other time, perhaps.

I hope I don't embarrass you.

It's not my habit to disrobe in public, but this time I'm afraid there's no help

for it.

You can open your eyes again now.

Research and development are rather proud of this device.

They produce it in three forms.

An explosion, an ultrasonic, and this is an

incendiary device of some sort, I believe.

Oh.

Oh. Mr. Solo will do the honors.

And if you and I wise like not swipe, then we'd better not look.

Once one is in a closed container, he is forced to eliminate high explosive as a

means of escape.

Unless he wants to escape by blowing himself in.

Yes?

Where's your friend?

Ah, dear, I'm glad you came.

Here, you take this. I don't want it.

Now, Mr. Solo, if you and your associate here will search out Dr. Grisky, Miss

Sweet and I will join the others in the house.

Go on, dear.

Good luck, darling.

Good evening, gentlemen.

You all know me. You know my reputation for punctuality.

I'm late tonight.

But if I'm to look good at my age, the preparation takes a little longer.

We are gathered in this room here tonight to discuss the future.

My future.

But it is your future that concerns me here.

My sudden and miraculous return to strength and vigor is only an illusion.

But even an illusion can be a sinister weapon in the hands of the enemy.

A few minutes ago, I tried to kill a gentle, kind old man.

To prevent him from being made use of by the enemy.

Unfortunately, I waited too long to pull the trigger.

Don't you make the same mistake.

You must destroy... You

didn't

expect this.

Did you, Norman?

Neither did I.

The wounds of time are never healed.

They just grow old with time itself.

Looks like he had an overdose of his own medicine.

Good thing for all of us at one time or another.

I'll have the professor's notebook, Mr. Kuryakin.

Toss it over here.

Carefully.

Jodine.

Why don't you give it up?

Why should I?

I have the notes.

We'll duplicate the process.

And after I destroy the machine, I will have sole possession of the late Dr.

Gritsky's secret.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I'll be with you in just a minute.

The doctor booby -trapped the machine.

Said so in his notes.

Aye, well, thanks for letting me know, lad.

Well, at least they won't have to worry about getting any older.

No luck, gentlemen?

No, it's even beyond the ability of the computers. They are unable to decipher

the formula.

Thank you.

Strange.

Locked in this book is the secret of immortality, perhaps.

Why do scientists always insist on keeping their notes in code?

Well, they were able to decipher the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci in a

less than 300 years.

That should offer us some hope.

I'm afraid, gentlemen, in my position and my time of life, that's much too

to wait.
