That must be the village.

He's dead?

One eye shot.

One eye shot.

I'll signal Nairobi for a medical unit.

Lights. Lights. Too bright.

Colors. Beautiful colors of the burning. Open SA Channel G.

The airplane.

The lights come from the airplane.

We're all dead here.

The intense burns evidently produce a corrosion of the nervous system. I

never...

Cancel Channel G.

And open overseas relay, Channel D, please.

Channel D, open.

Connect me with Mr. Waverly, mission control.

The cancellation's coming from that shack, Doctor.

Force him into the open.

Yes, Mr. Kiran Akit.

I'm ready for your report.

I'm still waiting for a report, Mr. Reagan.

Hurry up in here, sir.

Sorry we were interrupted.

You can tell security research that their information was correct.

Somebody has won the race to develop a thermal prism.

Case you don't read the newspapers, you can't extradite me from here.

I want to talk to you over there.

The rest of you go on doing whatever it is that you're doing.

Would you please? The old man hasn't spoken in 20 years. The belief is that

he does, this mystic cult... It's called the third way. We'll inherit the earth.

You have interrupted a private ceremony. I see. My deepest apology. Shall we go?

No. No, no, no.

Because of you, I've been driven halfway around the world and forced into hiding

on this moldy island. So whatever you have to say to me, you can say here and

now and quickly. We'd like you to work for us on an assignment.

Work for you.

Well, you're wanted in 17 countries. On charges of felonies, everything from

grand... No, no, no, no. Your bookkeeping is a little off. It's 22

My apologies.

However, if you cooperate with us, we're prepared to offer you total amnesty.

All 22 countries?

All 22 countries.

What kind of cooperation do you want?

Well, I'm not prepared to give you the details, but you're supposed to be the

best fave cracker in the world. You just have a chance to prove it.

Well, I suppose I could use a shave at that.

Gentlemen, I want to thank you for your generous hospitality these past months.

I want to thank you and I want... The old man.

Look, he's going to speak.

The old man won't speak in front of a stranger. It's supposed to be bad luck.

I'm sorry.

Hmm. A thermal prism.

Yes, yes, I see. No wonder you're so eager for help.

You may turn the lights on now.

You put that into orbit and you have the super weapon of all time.

I know, because I tried to develop one myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to

acquire the necessary materials. But now someone has developed it. Who?

Dr. Parvez Kamwifi. Oh, yes.

Yes, yes. The noted, noted Persian scientist. Yes, I've heard of him. Mr.

is confirmed to arrive in Tehran at noon, sir.

Good, I'll contact... What is it you want me to do exactly?

I was about to get into that, Mr. Sebastian.

Besides your ill manners, which I now deserve at first hand, our computers

shown you to be a most efficient, criminally oriented mind with advanced

in engineering, physics and chemistry.

Apparently you avoided the humanities.

It seems you designed the Vulcan X system while still in graduate school.

this carmosy keeps the thermal prism in a Vulcan X safe.

If the tumbler circuits haven't been modified, you should have no difficulty

opening it. Even if they have, it shouldn't be any problem. Where's the

How do I get to it?

This is a general outline of the carmosy state.

There's an electrical warning system around the perimeter.

There are guard towers here.

Here and here.

We jam their radar and then parachute in here just before daybreak.

It gives us all day and most of the night to penetrate whatever warning

and devices they have through this area until we ultimately reach the estate

building itself.

Mr. Solo will coordinate from inside the building. I like the way you put that

very casually. We will penetrate their warning system. You can be sure that

carmosy will have top security.

Now look.

Solo said this mission was dangerous, but no one said anything about suicide.

I will take you to the safe. Well, don't forget, I can only open it if I'm

alive. If I fail, I'm willing to take full responsibility.

Who is expecting us?

Napoleon Solo.

And what would he like to hear?

Directions. 29 Navid Avenue.

Right.

I'm Napoleon Solo. Perhaps you are expecting me.

No, but he is.

Chamber of Commerce.

Well, let's get the gear.

Mr. Solo.

Hey. Mr. Solo.

Mr. Solo.

I'm Annie Justin, Mr. Solo.

I'm afraid there's been a terrible misunderstanding.

Here's your ID card. I had no idea that you were an uncle agent.

Are you seriously hurt?

Is there anything I can do for you? Anything?

No, no, please don't.

Where's your traveling companion?

Oh, this is Hassan Aksoy, Mr. Solo.

Perhaps you've heard of the four Aksoy brothers?

Well, they were a circus act. I don't care who he is or who you are or

why I got hit. I'm a busy man. I've got another engagement. Oh, no, wait a

minute, Mr. Solo.

We're looking for Luther Sebastian.

At first we thought you were working with him, but I had no idea that you

bringing him to justice.

If you could just tell us in which country he's going to be selected.

can't help you right now.

I've seen your act. Step aside.

Oh, his aunt can't speak, Mr. Solo.

Poor darling cut off his tongue doing a stunt.

Oh, I don't want him to get hurt.

Don't worry about that.

Your gun isn't loaded. He emptied the clip himself.

Now you're a captive audience.

You really must help me, Mr. Solo. You see my fiancé, Hugh Winslow, of the

Beaconsfield Winslows?

Well, he's in a Turkish prison because Sebastian framed him for a murder that

committed.

I've spent a whole year collecting evidence.

I must free my poor Hugh from that awful prison. He's very frail.

Hazan's brother, Ali, shares a cell with my poor Hugh.

Well, Sebastian framed Ali as well.

Hassan gets very temperamental at times, Mr.

Solo. So you'd better tell us where we can find Sebastian.

We need Sebastian for something very important.

When we're through with him, you can help yourself.

Aren't you going to bring him to trial?

If he does as he's supposed to, the charges against him will be dropped.

You've made some sort of deal with him, haven't you? You're going to let

Sebastian go free.

I look upon this as a minor setback, Mr. Solo.

My bullet clip, please.

Here. If you think I'm going to let poor Hugh wither away in prison just because

of you, well, you haven't heard the last from us. Nothing will stop us.

He was reaching for a knife.

You shouldn't have done that.

I'm Azalea.

Your identification, Mr. Solo?

And your identification?

I'm here to take you to your doctor's appointment.

We're late, Mr. Settle.

I'll meet you outside.

This is a dangerous game.

I think you better leave it to the professionals.

necessary to kill him.

You'll never know for certain, will you?

Kamuti will observe you very closely.

I hope you're prepared.

Yes.

I get there alive.

I'm supposed to pose as an American millionaire with a shadowy past.

And the shadowy past is to cover up any inconsistencies.

There must not even be one, Mr. Solo.

You must take no unnecessary chances.

I know what you mean.

Dr.

Camusi's estate.

Just one question why are you helping us?

I'm his wife

50 cents in loose change, two fillings in the teeth, wristwatch, money clip.

Your room.

Cocktails it is.

I don't get it so far.

Violence is your department. You'll think of something, I'm sure.

Think anyone else knows we're here?

Perhaps not.

Let's hope these two won't be missed till evening.

I must congratulate you on the way you handled them.

Couldn't have done it without your help.

Tell me, how are we supposed to get to that building? It's a sheer drop.

When nightfall comes, we go over and down.

Mr. Solo, I presume.

The mountains should put us on the blind side of their radar.

I don't like it.

Why should they turn him on now?

You can worry about that later. Let's get moving.

You're in such a hurry, why don't you go on ahead?

I'll meet you on the other side of the minefield.

After you.

As I thought, sequence minds.

How fortunate for me, Mr. Solo, that you should appear at this very moment in my

life.

Most fortunate indeed.

I'm sure our association will be of mutual benefit, Doctor.

I understand all principles benefited from your syndicate financing a certain

colonial administration in Africa.

Now, that was in Southeast Asia, not Africa.

My error.

In any event...

The thermal prism once in orbit will be a weapon that will give the balance of

power to whichever country leases the device from us.

We shall be able to command any price, Mr. Solo.

I would say the profit picture looks very hopeful. Perhaps I might see the

for myself in any results of preliminary testing.

There will be time for that, Mr. Solo.

There's time now.

Tomorrow, at our leisure. If you don't mind, Doctor, I'd like to see it

I have to make contact with my associates tomorrow in order to place my

resources at your disposal.

Such arrangements take time when there's little point in wasting any.

I dislike being harried by you, Mr. Serlo. You'll get used to it. Yes, yes,

am reduced to dealing with businessmen and an American at that.

I understand your resources are no longer available.

It is true, because of certain tragic instances in my private life...

They were all lies.

You understand?

Gross lies.

Obscene lies.

It was a carefully drawn plot against me. I am certain of that.

On the face of it, their allegations were ludicrous.

Allegations concerning proposals I had made.

Anonymous phone calls to young ladies.

Students of mine.

As you can see, Mr. Solo, my enemies will go to any length.

Discredit me?

Oh,

my Azealia is the only one who understands.

I'm sure of that.

A most undemanding woman.

A good woman.

Immediately.

A surprise for Mr.

Solo.

And a surprise for us all.

A young lady attempted to penetrate our security.

Your wife.

Hello, darling.

How are you? You went away and you left me. I did not know you were

married.

It's one of the benefits of secrecy. I wasn't expecting you. Oh, of course you

weren't. You never take me anywhere. How do you do?

Dr. Carmusi, at your service.

Oh, you must be his kind -hearted nurse.

Yes, Dr.

Carmusi is a very famous world scientist, my dear. I'm overwhelmed and

that you're here, but we do have some business to discuss, so I suggest you go

back up to your room. If you will please excuse me, Mr. Solo.

I have no doubt that you would much prefer the company of your most lovely

for the moment. We can discuss business tomorrow at our leisure.

I'd prefer not to wait.

I insist you would not think me a proper host. Otherwise, good night.

He knows something. We've got to get into that vault now.

It will be extremely dangerous because they're sure to watch our every move on

their monitors.

We can't wait.

Why don't you and I take a little stroll?

Have a guided tour.

We'll find out what they're up to soon enough.

It may be a coordinated plan with other elements outside, but all external

security on condition red.

This is the doctor's collection of original gun notes from the Caspian Sea

He is the most celebrated artist in all of Persia.

We wait here for Napoleon's signal.

Hand to the throat.

This is the vault room, Mr. Solo.

No one may interfere. Only Dr. Camusi can open it.

They're at the vault now, doctor.

Perhaps you'd like to see the doctor's collection of poison mushrooms.

yes I'd like to see that

I'd like to pick Dr. Camusi at once.

Well, that was quick.

I didn't know doctors still made house calls.

I'd been there some time, admiring.

But may I do for you?

Well, since everybody is making deals, well, I'd like to make one with you.

An exchange of information, actually.

I would hesitate to deny you.

All right.

I'm not Solo's wife, and he's a spy.

Yes, I know.

You do?

Now, what may I offer you?

Luther Sebastian.

Where is he?

Sebastian?

Not having met the gentleman, I'm sure I couldn't say.

But I should imagine Mr. Solo would know. You answered my question.

But I didn't like the answer.

I'm sorry.

I'm not afraid to use this.

Please, do.

We detected that weapon the moment you entered the building.

It has since been unloaded.

Now, shall we go and see what Mr. Solo can tell us?

Solo. Switch to alternate G.

What are you doing?

Maneuvering, my dear.

Now, Mr. Sulla, a few questions.

And if you please, a few answers.

A young lady here would like to find one Luther Sebastian.

Who is he?

When may I expect him?

Difficult questions, Doctor.

Then you must consider the answers carefully, Mr. Sulla.

Turn on the same.

Let me know if anything comes to mind.

Water is a precious commodity in the desert, so we converted this device to

sand.

They have monitors in all the hallways.

Check all alarm circuits.

Everything negative, sir.

I should have known never to trust a woman who was always on time.

It always indicates a much deeper problem.

I have to find the right circuit to kill that whole monitor system.

Time is running out, Mr. Solo.

Pardon me, sir.

Our 10 o 'clock security check revealed two of our men found unconscious at the

perimeter of the estate.

Why was this not reported to me earlier?

We were investigating. We didn't want to disturb you until we found something

conclusive.

Of course, anyone can make a mistake.

But not just anyone can work for me. Sir, the monitor system has gone out of

section five.

Switch off the warning alarm.

Activate red light security.

The walls are sensitized. So is the floor.

You drop as much as a feather, you'll hear nothing but alarms.

What about the face of the safe?

Same.

There is only one way out, Mr. Solo.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

Where do you think you're going?

Napoleon may need some help.

That's his problem.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

This is your final opportunity, Mr.

Solo.

Monitor circuits in Section 5 have been cut, sir.

There's also a hole in the roof.

Seal off all exits.

I'm going to Section 5. I don't think he's going to talk.

I don't think either. Turn off the sound.

Will you not let him die?

That is exactly what I am going to do.

That is why I am a successful scientist and he is going to be a dead spy.

Then why am I still alive?

We'll discuss that later, privately.

Or I'll turn you off.

The witch is right there.

Do it.

Oh, no, please take me with you. I'm a friend of Mr. Solo.

I brought your friend.

Well, where's Sebastian?

Silence is our department, remember?

Look at the positive side. He'll never build another thermal prison.

Are you dying?

Are you?

By special surgery, a tiny transmitter was implanted in his heart.

When his heart stops, an auto -destruct mechanism is activated and the building

will explode.

He said to me many times, you can take it with you.

How do we get out of here?

You can drive. Come on. Get the prism.

Very good, Carl.

I think I have a number of questions to ask you. Just one, really. What am I

doing? And the answer, Mr. Solo, is that I'm keeping the thermal prism for

myself. After all, I planned this entire expedition.

I couldn't get into the Carmosi estate with my personnel, so quite naturally I

agreed to let Uncle do the job for me. You get the general idea, I'm sure.

I'm afraid so.

You seem to have planned everything carefully, including the right safe in

vault, so that we'd be sure and recruit you.

Actually, Azalea, handled that for me. Ah, but credit where credit is due.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Put them on the boat and tie them up.

Your plan is somewhat incomplete, Sebastian.

The prism is only marginally effective unless it's in orbit.

You'll have to do that for yourselves. I don't think we'll be interested in

helping you there. Thank you.

I've taken that into consideration.

You remember these gentlemen, Mr. Solo, disciples of the Third Way?

The white hair was my idea. A sign of fealty.

Yes, Azalea is our high priestess.

She should be.

Assuming you get the prison into orbit... What then? The Third Way will

national homeland for its followers.

We will control the balance of power in the world.

You know what I think?

I think you people are strange, really strange.

I don't know who you are, but I have a feeling you probably deserve whatever

happens to you.

Your contact ship's out there. We'll deliver you to them.

I wouldn't suppose this ship were rigged to blow up.

Wouldn't you?

I would.

Come, Azalea.

Full throttle ahead.

No reply to her.

Something must have gone wrong.

She's on a collision course. Shall I order the boat destroyed?

Yes.

Prepare torpedo launch.

Fire in one.

Did you hear that?

Sounds like they fired a torpedo at us.

They did.

Put the light over there.

There's a rope, sir. We can use a rope. The water is so much cold.

All right.

I assure you we'll have considerably warmer water for you if you don't have

prism.

The research computers cannot confirm Sebastian's rocket capabilities.

Not enough data.

If Sebastian can find a way to launch that prism into space, he'll be in a

position of incredible power.

We must use every precaution, gentlemen.

Time is against us.

The Aegean island has been abandoned and the Athens office reports they've found

no clues. Here's something, though. Sebastian has a wife living in Los

Evidently separated.

It's not much of a lead, to be sure. Better check it out, Mr. Solo.

Yes.

What about the girl who jeopardized your mission?

Where is she now?

She's in debriefing, sir. I don't believe she'll cause us any more

What happened?

We had just finished a briefing when she slipped out of the room.

We found her in the equipment section, filtering.

I'll take her to reception.

I was just admiring your marvelous equipment.

Why, if I had all this at my disposal, I'd find Sebastian in no time at all.

You're certainly not doing much to find him.

My poor Hugh. While we've been engaged for eight months now, and all this time

he's been rotting in a Turkish prison.

And do you know why? Because your friend, Mr. Sebastian, framed him.

Don't you care? Don't you care at all?

Sebastian was graduated from Harvard at the age of 18.

We were married then, in Des Moines.

But everyone resented Sebastian.

They said he was too smart for his own good.

So he went his own way. I haven't seen him in eight years.

Now you know all there is to know.

So please leave the way you came.

You often give these guys tours?

CIA, the FBI, Scotland Yard, the Better Business Bureau. Over the years, they've

all been here at one time or another.

I'm used to the traffic, though. I think five o 'clock in the morning is a

little too much, don't you?

I'm Napoleon S -O -L -O from the U .N .C .L .E.

Sometimes it's an honor the agent was here.

I thought you'd forgotten about us. Oh, we never forget.

Oh, please do. Leave me alone.

A question. If you haven't seen him in the last eight years, why do you stay

here and keep up this charade as Mrs. Luther Sebastian?

Oh, I had my pride, Mr. So.

What if everyone in Des Moines found out that I was living here like this,

alone, with nothing? What would they do? Tell me.

Oh, I'd talk.

One last question. Why should I believe you?

Oh, because I'm lonely.

Well, I think I'll just take a look around, if you don't mind.

Oh, help yourself.

I'll, uh...

Slipping is something more comfortable.

On second thought, I don't think I'll find what I'm looking for here.

Are you sure?

No.

That's the chance I'll have to take, though.

Goodbye.

kept you so long.

May I speak to Mr. Sebastian, please?

This is Mrs. Sebastian.

Yes, I'll wait, but please hurry.

I'll need a computer possibilities breakdown on missile transports. Have it

my desk by morning?

I'll try, sir, but that's a big job. I don't know if I'll have it by then.

You will?

Yes, sir.

Make a note to have Carl sent on that volunteer assignment scheduled for

tomorrow. Yes, sir.

I like the way you said that. It has a nice tone of respect, efficiency.

Yes, sir.

Keep it up.

Yes, sir.

Yes?

It's me.

I missed you.

Oh, it's you.

Well, you know I can't live much longer without you.

There was an uncle agent that just left here, Napoleon Solo.

What? He's still alive, huh?

Well, thank you for the call, dear. I'll be sending you a little something extra

this month.

Luther, where are you now?

When are you coming home?

We're not to talk of that, Laura. You know I have my work.

Signal the men stationed outside my wife's house to pursue and destroy the

that just left there.

Sir.

I guess it's no secret.

My wife doesn't understand me.

Assignment confirmation.

This is 69S. Assignment completed.

Your application for volunteer duty has been approved, 69S.

You're to proceed immediately to Sierra Canyon Highway.

Set your homing monitors on frequency D. I repeat, proceed immediately.

I'll be there.

You're too late for breakfast.

I ain't about to do any more cooking.

It's my misfortune.

Mom, it's time. Will you turn on the set?

Mom, please.

Turn on the set, Mom. Keep a lookout in the back, Mom. Keep them covered, Mom.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Today, you embark upon a mission of paramount importance.

Our future, the future of the world, depends upon the outcome of your mission

today. This afternoon, gentlemen, you will obtain for us a United States

government rocket.

This rocket is the final stage in our grand design. With it, we shall put the

thermal prism into orbit, and the world will be at our feet.

I am making a special closed circuit appearance.

To our faithful members across the country today, they will gather in their

meeting places, anxiously awaiting the mission accomplished signal from you

Good luck.

And keep the faith.

You four men will go with 18B here and he'll fill you in on the way.

The rest of you will be coming with me in the truck.

Now you leave your car keys with Mom.

And she'll dispose of the cars.

Where's the... That door.

Here.

Open channel D, please.

Koriak in here.

All right, I'm pressed for time, Ilya. I'm on the inside. With any luck, I'll

get to Sebastian's headquarters today.

I get this. Sebastian is using a closed -circuit system built by West

Industries. You may leave.

Come on. Let's go. Napoleon?

Napoleon?

Thanks, Mom.

If everything goes right, Mom.

I'm going to be taking you away from this place pretty soon.

I like it here.

I know.

Crates.

Open channel D, please.

Don't get too close. He's very tricky.

I've checked out Mr. Solo's lead.

Security research informs me that an organization known as Three Way

Incorporated recently purchased a closed -circuit television system from West

Industries. It was delivered to a local address, a vacant motion picture

theater.

Checking further, I discovered that the theater was purchased only a few weeks

ago by Three Way Incorporated.

Well, I would suppose that the theater is a meeting place for Sebastian's

organization.

Best check it out.

I'm on my way there now, sir.

Oh, I just hope he leads us to that awful woman that killed poor Hassan.

Did anyone ever mention that you look exactly like your brother?

All right, men, come on out.

There she is.

The rocket's on that flat car.

Now, we got a selected brat, man. Take out your I .D. cards.

We're going to do this very democratically.

The highest number, which is issued to the newest member.

69S. Looks like that's you.

This explosive has a ten -second timing device.

It's just about right to a couple of flat cars.

He'll time it so that once you're dropped on a flat car, you can blow the

coupling right away.

And we'll take care of the rest.

What about the guards?

The other unit will take care of the ones on the outside.

The car in front of the rocket is for federal agents.

But we'll be in and out so fast they won't know what hit them.

I'll count on it. Good luck. Keep faith.

You did a good job.

You'll have to ride in the back with the rest of the men.

I can't show any favoritism.

Brothers and sisters, the great throbbing heart of the Third Way

We who are dedicated to a new mystical insight, transcending all others, serve

death to us part.

We have rejected society with all its false values, but never forgetting that

society rejected us first.

Brothers and sisters,

You have found refuge when all about you were losing theirs.

I've paid for all of you and all of you in his place.

The cry goes out to every nation.

Send us your tired, your automated, your exploited yearning to break free.

We switch you now to third -way headquarters for an urgent message.

Open channel D, please.

Within a matter of hours, we will control the most powerful weapon in the

And now, my followers.

It will be up to you in your individual chapters to carry through on the local

level. Once the prism is in orbit, you will form into tactical units as

indicated in your manuals.

You will then perform communications control, carry out all necessary

assassinations, and generally...

Maintain order while the world is responding to our requests.

Until then, I remain your humble servant.

Goodbye.

And keep the paper.

This man is a trespasser.

We forgive him in our own way.

I think that he and the young lady have just won a free trip to Los Angeles.

Very good.

Drive it to headquarters. Time is of the essence.

This is an historic moment.

What you men have done today will be long remembered by the peace -loving

peoples of the world.

You have proven yourselves worthy of the third way.

And the third way will show its gratitude.

I have a small surprise for you.

Azalea.

You all know our high priestess, Azalea.

Keep them covered.

A little something from the management.

It's a jeweled pin on azalea. It's one of ours.

I'll have Mr. Waverly put a tracking scanner on it.

What does Sebastian have in mind for you?

I don't know.

Nothing good, I'm sure.

Another brother.

You want me to go to headquarters with you?

No, Carl.

You deserve to stay here with your comrades.

Enjoy.

In case you're wondering why you're still alive...

You will have the great privilege of witnessing my people put the thermal

into orbit.

And use Uncle as a mouthpiece to relay your demands to the world, I suppose.

Exactly.

I think your organization should be very helpful.

It would save me a lot of paperwork.

I still have to make that phone call. Oh, you're right. I'm sure. I'll be

back. Oh, no. I can't take another rejection.

You'll have to stay and slip into something nice.

I understand your natural enthusiasm.

Say, I thought there was something funny about you.

Your hair dye...

Isn't it supposed to come off?

Hey! He's a fake!

Hey, everybody!

He's a fake!

What is that?

Didn't mind.

Of course not. It's a homing device.

Which one of you did this?

What difference does it make?

None, really.

What's the matter with him? Why doesn't he speak when I ask him a question?

Well, when Omar was in the circus with his brothers, well, he used to lie on

ground and lift weights over his head.

One of them dropped.

Then put the pin on him.

Put it on!

What do you have in mind?

Well, he won't make much of a courier, will he?

Happens all the time on the freeways.

The party at the warehouse must be well underway.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for reminding me.

Loyalty is something that's difficult to measure.

Don't tell me.

You're another one of the Oxoy brothers.

I am Karim Oxoy.

How did you know?

Just lucky, I guess.

You're not trying to tell us that you're going to launch a rocket from this

building. It must be some kind of hoax. I can't believe you're really serious.

He is serious.

Yes, he is, isn't he?

My technicians formed an opening in the roof directly above the rocket.

This side of the building has been reinforced to serve as a silo.

I think the old man is about to speak.

What's the matter with him?

He hasn't uttered a word in 20 years.

The belief is that when he speaks, the third way will inherit the earth.

You probably believe that too.

I am the high priestess. It's my job to believe it more than anyone.

I'm sure that once the thermal prism is launched tonight, the old man will

speak. And appropriately so.

For then we will be prepared to fulfill his mystic destiny.

Return to your stations.

I don't want to be a killjoy, but isn't the control panel rather close to the

base of the rocket?

It could explode, you know. No danger, Mr. Koryakin.

The shield around the base is composed of a special heat -resistant alloy.

One I created myself, as a matter of fact.

My people will be well protected.

Put these two under guard in the observation booth.

That's all of them, sir.

Sign on the bottom, please.

How long have you been watching this warehouse?

A day, a night, six months.

The one day I'm late returning from lunch, I miss Sebastian.

Excuse me.

Solo here.

We've tracked down that homing device, Mr. Solo.

It was found on the body of one Omar Axoy.

Nowhere near Sebastian, needless to say.

Do you have anything specific on Sebastian from any other sources?

Nothing yet, Mr. Solo, no.

Other thing.

I'm sorry about your brother.

I will repay Sebastian.

One thousandfold.

The computers are locked in, sir. All systems go.

All units secure countdown positions.

Confirm all tower tracking zones.

Double lock all computers.

Confirmed.

All right.

Countdown set for zero hour minus 15 minutes.

When I left here last night, they almost killed me. Now you got them on to me.

You know how to get in touch with Sebastian.

I want you to get in touch with him for me.

Now.

I can't. Now.

Oh, honest, I can't.

I'm afraid you'll have to.

Now, look, the world is running out of time and I'm running out of patience.

Now, are you going to... Report to headquarters, Mr. Solo.

Emergency, pattern 14.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait. I'm about... That's the direct order from

Waverly.

I'll be back.

Eight hour minus 11 minutes, 15 seconds.

Thanks. I knew you'd oblige.

There's a malfunction in the nose cone interlock.

Well, get someone to fix it!

Emergency clearance.

I want a circuit breakdown in a local area on FRL 23 -MP246.

There's no need for those.

These aren't for me.

I was just thinking of my poor Hugh.

At this very moment, give or take a few hours' time difference, he's rotting in

that awful Turkish jail.

And if something happens to me, he'll never get out.

We've pinpointed the location. Location, sir.

15444 Wilshire Boulevard.

The backup units are on the way, Mr. Zolo.

That should be it.

I want that nose cone repaired!

Too late, Mr. Solo.

We began without you.

It's very annoying.

Can you force the door open?

They must be at the lowest level.

The inner lock, is it fixed yet?

Well, lock all computers, finalize all procedures.

Against all odds.

The rocket is on auto -control, Mr. Solo. You can't stop it now.

You've done a good job, the best you could do, but it's all over.

And even if you send me to jail, I'll get out.

And the thermal prism will be up there, waiting for me.

Maybe not.

Liar.

All that equipment.

He's dead.

I wonder what he would have said.

For you.

Oh, thank you, Napoleon.

Oh, thank you. My darling, he'll finally release from prison and you arranged

everything. Oh, thank you.

How do you do? I'm Olly Oxloy.

Where is he?

Where is he? You must be at. Well, where is he?

My dear, he isn't coming.

Well, it seems his mother was notified of his release and she was waiting at

prison gate.

Well, even though he was jailed unjustly, as was I, well, the family

entire affair a secret, you know.

But, well, he did ask me to give you this.

Oh.

At least he sent the ring back.

What are you going to do now?

Find somebody that fits this.

Thank you, Mr. Solo, anyway.

I'm indebted to you, sir, for my release. Thank you.

Dear lady, I'm at your service.

May I be of assistance?

Never can tell.

The ring might just fit him.

Well, we'll just have to find out, won't we?

Anything new?

Not much.

Revolution in the Orient.

A multi -million dollar train robbery in England.

Five kidnapped scientists and a plan to melt the polar ice cap.

Good. I think I'll take the afternoon off.
