- The building is structurally sound, General Kwan.

- I can see that, doctor, begin the demonstration.

- Yes sir, helijets one and two, come in for attack.

You will not have to wait long, general.

(somber music) (camera shudder clicking)

(jets roaring)

(bombs thudding)

- [Kwan] Nothing appears to be happening, doctor.

- It takes a little time to react.

(rumbling)

There, look now.

- Fantastic.

(camera shudder clicking)

Amazing, it's, it's as though the whole building

is being eaten away.

- [Chang] That's exactly what is happening, sir.

- [Kwan] What do you mean?

- The X-41, dropped from the helijets, is breaking down

the actual molecular structure of that building.

- [Kwan] The destruction seems to be

increasing in intensity.

- Yes sir, the virus will go on increasing and destroying

everything in its path until it is arrested.

- Incredible, this X-41, will it destroy everything?

- Yes general, once it is exposed to air,

it becomes active, and our experiments have proved

it will disintegrate practically anything.

- This is a brilliant achievement.

I congratulate you.

- Bring in antibody, a matter of moments, general.

They have been standing by.

(plane engine roaring)

(gushing)

(camera shutter clicking)

I hope we have managed to impress you, general.

- Doctor, it has been a remarkable demonstration.

With this kind of destructive power at our disposal,

our country can become one of the most

influential and feared in the world.

You can be certain your brilliant work

will be put to good use.

- I've seen enough Sam, turn on the lights.

- So they finally isolated the X-41.

And what's more important, resected the antibody.

- Well there's no doubt about it.

Agent 8-4's latest report

and those photographs are conclusive.

- That means they can use it

as a terror weapon any time they want.

- You gotta hand it to 'em, Sam, they're clever.

How's Baxter coming along?

- Well, he's managed to produce a small quantity of X-41,

but he's still working on the antibody.

It's all a question of time.

- Time, that's something we haven't got.

- I know chief, but Baxter's our only hope.

- Get onto him Sam, explain the situation.

Tell him we must have that antidote fast.

- Right, chief.

(somber music)

(gurgling) (somber music)

- Yes, yes, I understand, right.

You can't rush these things, you know.

Of course we will, yes, all right.

We'll do what we can, fine, goodbye.

- Um, trouble sir?

- World Intelligence, they want to know

when we can give them the antibody.

- I see.

- Don't they realize what we're dealing with?

There's enough X-41 in that retort to destroy a whole city.

- Take it easy sir, you're doing everything possible.

- Take it easy, you can't rush these things,

it takes carefully controlled experiment,

trial and error, one tiny step at a time.

- Yes, I know, sir.

- That, sorry Hawkins, I shouldn't take it out on you, I--

- Sir, is anything wrong?

- No, I'm fine, I (groaning).

- Professor Baxter!

(dramatic music)

(sirens blaring)

- That's the situation, Mac.

Our last hope went with Baxter's collapse.

- But surely Baxter was one of a team.

What about his assistant, Hawkins?

- He's a good man, but Baxter's the only one

who really understands the problem.

- Can't Baxter give you the necessary information,

even if he is in the hospital?

- He's unconscious Mac, and the doctors

don't really know what's wrong with him.

Any day they could throw one of the deadliest weapons

yet invented at the West.

Our orders are to go and get the antibody formula.

- Is it another job for me, Uncle Sam?

- [Sam] Yes, Joe.

- Sam, you said the only place we can get this antibody

is from Chang's secret laboratory.

- That's about the size of it.

- Well it's 10,000 miles away, inside hostile territory.

- Joe wouldn't be alone.

We have our Agent 8-4 on the spot.

- Then why can't our Agent 8-4 get the formula?

- Dr. Chang's laboratory is inside a top security base.

I'm not saying Agent 8-4 couldn't get in there, but even if

he did, he wouldn't know the formula if he saw it.

We need someone who understands the nature of X-41.

- Like Professor Baxter.

- Exactly, Joe 90 with Professor Baxter's brain pattern.

- Have you worked out how to get the brain pattern?

- Yes, I have, they've got the professor

in a private room in the hospital.

I'll get over there right away.

(slow orchestral music)

- He's not responding, his pulse rate has increased

since the last injection of antibiotic,

but he hasn't regained consciousness.

- I see, have you any idea what's wrong?

- [Doctor] Not yet, we're carrying out exhaustive tests,

we'll track it down.

- [Sam] Well, keep me informed, and if he does

regain consciousness, let me know immediately.

- [Doctor] Of course.

(adventurous music)

(beeping) (slow, solemn music)

(dramatic music)

- Is the pattern coming through, dad?

- Yes, I'm getting strong impulses, that should do it.

All right Joe, you know what to do.

- Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

- Don't worry, doctor, the journey wasn't entirely wasted.

(light, upbeat music)

(adventurous music)

(whirring)

- That's it, Joe, you now have the brain patterns

of Professor Baxter and a top WIN agent, how do you feel?

- Fine.

What time did Sam fix the briefing?

- 18:00 hours, at WIN headquarters.

(high-pitched whirring)

- Take the special equipment I ordered

down to the briefing room.

- [Man On Intercom] Yes sir.

- [Shane] How you doing, Sam?

- Be with you in 18 minutes.

- Professor McClaine, do you read me?

- I read you, we're on our way, Mr. Weston.

- Great, out, we've got to do it, we've got to.

(adventurous music) (gurgling)

(slow, solemn music)

- Are you ready, Joe?

- Yes, I'm ready.

- Good, let's begin the briefing.

The code name is Mission X-41.

Now the map on the screen details the complex

and the surrounding terrain.

Study it, Joe, with particular reference to the lab.

That's where the formula for the antibody will be kept.

- I've got it, those search lights look pretty effective.

- They are, they rotate automatically

to give maximum coverage, but there is one blind spot.

- On the south perimeter fence?

- Right, if you hit trouble, it could be your way out.

- Will Agent 8-4 be able to assist?

- He's been fully briefed, he knows what to do,

and he's got Joe's escape route organized.

- I'll contact him as soon as I land.

- Fine, you'll eject at 30,000 feet.

- Pressurized canister?

- Right, the radar'll probably pick you up,

but you should land within a couple

of hundred yards of the complex.

- Well Joe, any specialized equipment

you'll need is in your case.

- I've got it, chief.

- Don't worry, I'll bring back that formula.

- Your plane's ready at the airport.

Good luck, Joe.

- Good luck, son.

- Thanks, okay Sam, Mission X-41 is underway.

(adventurous music)

- Okay Joe, into the canister.

- Right.

- How does it look?

- [Pilot] Just a few cloud patches at about 10,000,

wind very light.

- Here's your case, Joe, you'd better close the hatch.

- [Pilot] 16 miles from target, close eject compartment.

- Closing now.

Good luck, Joe.

- [Pilot] We have computer green light.

Four miles from target.

Eject on red light, 10 seconds.

Five seconds, four, three, two, one, eject.

(slow, somber, tense music)

(sirens blaring)

- They've picked him up on the radar.

- [Man Chasing] Over here, over here.

- Agent 8-4 to Agent 9-0, come in, please.

- Loud and clear 8-4, I've landed safely.

- Fine, I was told to give you every assistance.

- Have you got the explosives?

- Yes, when do you want me to create a diversion?

- [Joe] Not yet, save that till I call for it.

- [Man Searching] Bring the dogs around to the right.

- They're searching the woods. (dogs barking)

The compound's heavily guarded.

Have you thought out how you're going to get in?

- Yes, it'll be quite simple.

- Simple?

- Yes, the guards'll take me in.

Keep out of sight, 8-4,

and keep listening on this wave band.

I'm going to need you later.

- Come out with your hands up.

Come out, or we fire.

(dramatic music)

- A boy?

- Yes general, we found him a few yards from the canister.

- A western little boy, how old are you, little boy?

- Nine, sir.

- Are you English?

- [Joe] Yes sir.

- And what are you doing here?

- Spying, sir.

- Spying, huh, a nine-year-old boy, spying. (laughing)

And I suppose you arrived in that canister my men found.

- That's right sir, I was ejected at 30,000 feet.

- Very funny.

(guards laughing)

What are you laughing at, you fools?

Go on and find out who did come in that canister.

If you don't find him, you will be shot.

- Yes general, we'll find him.

- Leave the little boy with me,

I should like to talk to him.

Now, we will have a little chat,

while they look for the real spy.

- They won't find anybody sir,

there was no one else in the canister.

- Yes, yes, of course, the West are using nine-year-old

agents now, and what information did you come to get?

- I'm very interested in those planes out there, sir.

Are they very fast?

- 2000 miles an hour.

They also have a ceiling of 200,000 feet.

And because of a new compression system,

they have a range of 20,000 miles.

- [Joe] Then one of those could reach England, non-stop.

- Oh yes, you must tell your government about it.

I'm sure they always believe what their

nine-year-old spies tell them.

- Oh yes sir, they do.

(telephone ringing)

- General Kwan, yes, yes, yes.

Well if you've searched the south side, search the north.

There is an agent somewhere near this base,

and I want him found, now.

Well little boy, we shall find your colleague,

and now I will ask a guard to lock you in a room.

Make yourself comfortable, we shall talk later.

(dramatic music)

(adventurous music)

- Agent 8-4, come in 8-4.

(speaking foreign language) (dog barking)

- Receiving you loud and clear, where are you?

- I'm locked in a room at the base,

but I'll soon take care of the lock.

I'm going to need your diversion, 8-4,

can you get near the storage tanks?

- Ah, it won't be easy, the woods are thick with troops.

But I'll make it somehow. (speaking foreign language)

- Good work, 8-4, better start moving in now.

Keep listening.

- On my way, out.

(slow, serious music)

(tense music)

- Are you absolutely certain?

- Yes general, the canister has been specially adapted.

A grown man could not have come down in it.

- Then it must have been the boy.

Go and bring him here,

and this time I will not be so tolerant.

(tense music)

- Calling Agent 8-4, I found the laboratory.

I'm ready for your diversion, are you nearly there?

(dog barking)

- I'm moving as fast as I can,

but it's going to be tricky getting through the wire.

- Speed it up if you can 8-4, be careful.

- Okay, and the best of luck at your end.

(tense music)

- Sound the internal alarm, the boy's escaped.

(alarm blaring)

(slow, solemn music)

- I want that boy found, use every man you've got.

Shoot to kill if necessary.

(slow, tense music)

(speaking foreign language)

- Speed it up, 8-4, they're closing in.

- I'm nearly in range, just another couple of minutes.

- He's, he's not in D block.

- Come on, let's try the laboratory area.

(guards speaking foreign language)

(tense, suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

(guards speaking foreign language)

(exploding)

(alarm ringing)

- Fire.

- He must be near the storage tanks, come on.

(alarm ringing)

- Great work 8-4, and just in time.

- Hope it wasn't too close.

- Close enough, but don't worry about that.

I found what we're looking for, mission complete.

- Great, can you make it to the pickup area?

- I don't need it 8-4, I've got a quicker way home.

Better get away while you can, and thanks, out.

- Get those fire trucks over there, and I want--

(plane engine roaring)

Someone will pay for this, after him, after him,

get the airplanes airborne.

- Joe 90 to Sam Loover, on my way home, Sam,

with the formula.

- Wonderful, congratulations Joe.

He made it Mac, he made it!

Well Joe, I just don't know what W-I-N would do without you.

- Thanks, Uncle Sam.

- By the way Sam, how is Professor Baxter coming along?

- Oh, he's just fine Mac, he should be discharged

in a couple of days.

- Good. (sniffling)

- Completely, he'd been effected by the X-41 virus,

but Joe's suggestion that they inject him

with a diluted antibody worked like a charm.

(sneezing)

Bless you, Mac.

(sneezing)

- Bless you, dad.

- Oh, well Joe, it looks like Professor Baxter

might be able to do us a favor in return.

- What do you mean, dad?

- Find a cure for the common cold. (sneezing)

- Bless you, dad. - Bless you, Mac.

(light, upbeat music)
