What're you guys pumping into my brain this time?

Greek?

Or how to repair a xylophone?

Whatever it is, get it right.

It's our last chance, Joe.

Yeah, I know.

Alright. We're all set.

Don't worry, Rudy.

Good luck, Joe. Thanks, Steve.

This is where all the money went.

This is the Digital Alpha Technique Application equipment.

The monitoring equipment for the electromagnetic generators.

That's the computer.

And, most importantly, this is the control console.

The electronic module that converts the information on the tapes...

from computer language into brain language.

Yeah.

WOMAN: Joe, it's too dangerous.

It's too dangerous.

WOMAN: Knock, knock. Anybody home?

MAN: Sure. The rent's cheap and the view is great.

What have I missed? Fill me in.

Whales going north, ships going south.

You missed a dynamite party.

That bad, huh? Awful.

Mostly 'cause you weren't there to make me laugh.

Well, I can't do everything.

Somebody's got to count the whales.

That's true.

It'll all be over in a few hours, Jenny.

Joe...

Are you sure you're one of Oscar's secret agents?

Yes. I'm very good at it, actually.

Well, you must be getting rusty...

because what you're thinking is written all over your face.

Don't do it, Joe.

I can't bear to watch them experiment on you.

Oh, Jenny.

Look, when Oscar Goldman shows up just tell him to forget it.

There's no way to transfer information from a computer to a human brain.

Oscar's going to shut down this project if we can't prove that it works this time.

Jenny, I wanna do it.

I want it to work.

Joe, you're not one of Oscar's agents. You're an English teacher.

Yeah, and bored enough to risk being a volunteer.

Jenny, I was the first kid on my block to chew tobacco.

To sleep all night in a cemetery.

To get my nose busted in a street fight.

Yeah. Well, it's too dangerous.

JENNY: Too dangerous. It's too dangerous.

RUDY: Over here we have the tape bank.

Now we've transmitted portions of these tapes...

from the computer directly into Joe Patton's brain.

Has he learned that way?

I mean, has he actually retained the information?

A little of it.

We can't seem to get him to remember all of it.

Just... just fragments.

That's not good enough, Rudy.

Oscar, this could be the most efficient teaching tool ever dreamed of.

Anyone could learn, whatever he wanted. Just...

To fly a jet. To speak in Chinese.

Just in a matter of hours.

But Rudy, it's got to work.

If it doesn't work, despite the potential...

I'm gonna have to shelve it.

I know that.

MAL: We're ready, Dr. Wells.

Okay, Mal. Thanks.

(ELECTRIC BUZZING)

This time we'll try a new wavelength. Alpha 7.

It goes a little deeper into the frontal lobe than the other waves we've used.

What information are you transmitting into Joe's brain?

Mal? What is it?

Book of Genesis, chapter one, Old Testament.

Pre-transmission takes 44 seconds.

You ready, Joe?

JOE: Okay, Rudy.

(MACHINES WHIRR)

(MULTI-PITCHED TONES)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

(LOUD TONE)

It's an overload!

Joe! Can you hear me?! Joe!

I can't kill the generators! The switches have fused!

Joe! Can you hear me?! Joe!

RUDY: Joe!

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(COMPUTER SOUND SLOWS, STOPS)

Oh, my God! What have we done to him?

(STEADY BEEP)

Jenny, don't worry. We'll take good care of him.

Look, I don't wanna leave Joe. Not now, Oscar. Please.

Jenny, I warned you about getting involved with Joe.

I saw it coming, and I warned you.

Yeah, I know. But I've made a decision about this.

Telegram arrived for you at your New Orleans address from Stenger.

He's invited you to his home at Puerta Azul.

Forget it, Oscar. Find somebody else.

Jenny, it's taken us two years to establish our cover with Stenger.

We've got to find out whether he's gotten hold of those twenty dollar plates...

that were stolen from Treasury last month.

Jenny.

Okay, okay.

I just wanna say goodbye to him.

I'll say good-bye to him.

He's got enough to worry about.

This is the last time, Oscar. The last time.

He's just regaining consciousness, thank God.

Why are you two grinning at me?

We're just happy you're okay. Delighted.

Terrific.

But why am I lying here in bed?

There was an overload. It knocked you unconscious.

Hmmm...

That's the end of that project, huh?

Afraid so, pal.

JOE: Funny.

I thought we had a winner.

I did too.

Whoa. Where do you think you're...

You're not going anywhere.

I'm fine.

No. I wanna run a scan of your brain, various parts of it...

run it through the computer and then see what effect there was...

on any of your brain waves, if any.

Where's Steve?

OSCAR: He had to leave, Joe.

He's testing an experimental plane at Edwards.

He'll be back in a couple of days.

Where's Jenny?

She's out of the country. On an assignment.

Okay, but one of you two guys is going to have to go jogging with me...

because I hate running alone.

Him.

Me? Let's draw a straw.

Okay. I will. Just as soon as we finish the scan.

I... I should...

really do this more often.

(LAUGHS)

Rudy, what's happening to my brain scan readout?

Well, Mal wanted to run it through a computer a second time.

I'm hoping it'll show me what's going on inside your head.

If anything is.

Yeah.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

In the beginning, God created heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form and void...

and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Go on, Joe, go on.

And God said, Let there be light.

And there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

And God said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters...

and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Joe.

Rudy! It worked! It actually worked.

I know! I know!

RUDY: It's just as I thought.

The accidental overload of the generators changed your brain waves...

to the Alpha 7 mode permanently! It's fantastic!

But Rudy, the Alpha 7 level is the way a person's brain waves are...

when they're in a deep sleep.

For you and me and the rest of the world, but not for Joe.

He's unique now. That's why the test worked, Oscar.

His brain is at the Alpha 7 level, it's completely relaxed...

and maximum learning is possible.

That's incredible!

There's no limit to what you can learn, Joe!

Everything that man has ever learned can be put on computer...

and transmitted into your head!

And no one has that ability but you.

You know what this means?

Sure, the project doesn't get shelved.

JOE: Nobody loses his job.

Well, that's true, but uh, think of the other possibilities.

Like what?

Yes, like what, Oscar?

Oh, I wasn't thinking of anything in particular.

I was just thinking that we oughta find out all the different kinds of information...

that the computer can give to Joe.

Well, we could run some tests tomorrow, if you're willing, Joe.

I don't know about you, Oscar...

but I guess it'll be all right to see if it works again.

RUDY: All set, Joe?

All set.

OSCAR: What is it this time, Rudy?

RUDY: Einstein's Time Dilation Effect from a tape of a natural lecture...

given by Karl Barnard.

(MULTI-PITCHED TONES)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

Joe, would you like to tell us about Einstein's Time Dilation Effect?

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

Ah, yes.

A most fascinating phenomenon.

Let me explain:

Like the familiar mass-energy relationship...

E equals MC squared for the A-bomb...

the time dilation phenomenon is a direct consequence of the tensor character...

of all physical quantities.

Einstein showed that the coordinates of space...

merge with time to form a four-dimensional manifold...

that transforms like a tensor of the first rank, namely.

RUDY: That is weird.

What's weird?

Joe's voice and expressions are exactly like the professor who recorded the information.

Do you think he could learn highly technical skills from the computer?

RUDY: Yes, I do.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

OSCAR: If he can do that, can data teach him physical skills too?

RUDY: Yes.

(YELLS)

Okay, okay, okay.

RUDY: And he's learning how to speak in Chinese, sky dive, you name it.

Is there anything he can't learn. Anything he can't do?

No.

(KNOCKING)

Come in.

Dr. Wells, I'm afraid.

Afraid what?

Joe's disappeared.

Disappeared?!

MAL: We've looked everywhere. He's gone.

JENNY(VO): You're not one of Oscar’s agents.

You're an English teacher.

It's too dangerous.

Hey, Joe, where've you been?

Police, the Highway Patrol, everybody's been looking all over for you.

Just been thinking.

You feel all right?

Sure.

All the guys on the project were sure happy that overload didn't wipe you out.

Yeah, me too.

They're all grateful to you for keeping the project and their jobs alive.

Well, you better tell them not to get their hopes up too high...

because I'm thinking about leaving the project.

You're gonna do what?

You're trying to turn me into one of your undercover agents.

And I don't wanna do it!

Joe, what're you talking about?

(PHONE RINGS) So far this is only a scientific experiment.

Hold the calls, Rudy. Whatever they are, just hold them.

Now listen to me. All I wanna... Hold on. Oscar?

I'm relaying a message from Jenny.

This is Oscar Goldman speaking.

WILKINS: The message reads as follows, Mr. Goldman...

Stenger waiting for chemist named Lyle Montrose...

to supervise printing twenty dollar bills.

Imperative...

you prevent Montrose from arriving Puerta Azul Thursday noon.

So. Stenger does have the plates, huh? What else?

That's all there is.

She gave the distress signal several times and then...

her transmission stopped.

All right. Notify all the security agencies.

Have them pick up this man, Lyle Montrose as fast as you can.

Right.

What about Jenny?

Something went wrong, Joe.

She sent out a distress signal.

What's happening, Oscar?

It's a long story, but we'll take care of it.

Now let's get back to you.

What happened to Jenny?

Where is she?

Alright. Last year Jenny developed a relationship...

with the daughter of a man called Marius Stenger.

An international dealer of counterfeit bills, arms, and military secrets.

Where is she?

She's at his house in Puerta Azul.

Anything we'd do to try to help her...

would only put her in more danger than she is already in.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes?

Good. I don't want Montrose to contact anybody. Understand?

Well, it fits.

The New Orleans police picked up Lyle Montrose...

as he boarded a plane for Puerto Azul.

How's that going to help Jenny?

It's not, Joe.

You can teach me anything, Rudy?

Yes.

Well...

Teach me to be a chemist like Montrose...

and teach me enough to get Jenny out of there alive.

Are you serious?

Of course he's serious.

Lyle Montrose has to be at Puerta Azul at noon tomorrow.

Montrose is the only one that Stenger will allow into the compound.

Joe is gonna be at Puerta Azul tomorrow at noon...

and pass himself off as Lyle Montrose.

It's the only way.

Even if that were possible, Stenger would know immediately Joe is not Montrose.

OSCAR: Not necessarily.

Montrose just served a year.

Income tax evasion. Federal prison.

Stenger operates mostly in Europe. It's unlikely the two have met.

Unlikely? Are you willing to risk Joe's life on those odds?

I'll do it. RUDY: Joe...

Don't worry, Rudy.

I'll try to get Jenny out of this alive.

But that's it.

Then I walk.

You got it.

(DIALING)

Donniger, this is Oscar Goldman.

I want a complete file on one Lyle Montrose.

I want the names and addresses, descriptions of all of Montrose's friends.

In and out of prison, on a plane here in exactly three hours.

I want you to call up the chief chemist of the United States Government printing office...

and ask him the procedure in the mixing of inks used in the printing of our money.

Mal, would you feed this in the scanner.

Right.

RUDY: It's a blue line drawing of Stenger's entire house and grounds.

We need more time, Oscar.

I wanna double check everything we've fed into his brain.

As perfect as the computers are, they do make an occasional mistake.

OSCAR: No time, Rudy.

Joe's got to be on a plane in an hour.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

OSCAR: Joe oughta be at Stenger's house in a couple of minutes now.

RUDY: How long does he have to get Jenny out of there?

Oh, I'd say until about dawn.

What? That's not enough time.

Our hands are tied, Rudy.

The local police won't hold Montrose...

more than 24 hours without charging him.

They can let him go at any time.

If Joe and Jenny are there when the real Montrose calls...

they're gonna be dead.

Welcome, Mr. Montrose.

I'm Marius Stenger. This is my wife, Lily.

Come, come. We have cold drinks waiting for us in the library. Come.

JOE: What I want is fried eggs, bacon, potatoes and a pot of hot coffee.

STENGER: Lunch will be in a half hour.

We'll have it together and we can visit with my wife and my daughter.

I didn't come here to socialize.

Where's the press set up?

It's in the cellar.

I'll sleep there and take my meals there, too.

As you wish, Mr. Montrose.

Well, let's get on with it.

Yes, yes. Mark?

MAN: I don't know why, Felipe.

Stenger wants extra guards around.

I tell you his voice sounds different than it did on the telephone.

He's younger than I thought...

but it will be easy to tell when he tries to print the money.

Well, ever since Jenny turned out to be an agent, I don't trust anyone.

Lily, make some phone calls...

and get some reliable information on Montrose so that we can be sure.

Very well. But what about Jenny?

Oh, she'll keep.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): The cellar of Stenger’s house is protected by an electric alarm system...

that releases sleeping gas that is temporary but quick acting...

with a 30 second time delay between gas release and alarm.

There are two rooms in the cellar.

One is the printing room.

The other is where Jenny is being held.

Pretty good counterfeit plates, don't you think?

These aren't counterfeit, they're from the United States Mint.

Very good, Mr. Montrose. Very good.

(CHUCKLES)

Everything I need is here...

except my cot, blankets and my bacon and eggs.

How soon do you intend to mix these inks?

I'll start testing the inks now.

If they prove satisfactory, I'll make a test run in the morning.

Excellent. Excellent.

Hello.

Ah. Mr. Montrose, this is my daughter, Lorraine.

Welcome to our humble abode.

I thought you were bringing Dr. Lopez for Jenny.

STENGER: Well, the doctor had an emergency.

But he sent some medicine. I gave it to her and she's resting.

Why are you keeping her down here with her room locked?

Well, that's to keep the servants out.

Dr. Lopez made it very clear that she's still highly contagious.

Oh.

Have you come to print the travel folders?

Now, now come, Lorraine.

We're keeping Mr. Montrose from his work.

Come, dear.

You think fast, Mr. Montrose.

I'd want those eggs over easy. Three of them.

Very well.

Now, uh, Mark here will see that you don't run away with those twenty dollar plates.

And he'll get you whatever else you need.

Hmm?

Mr. Montrose.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): To dissolve steel, three compounds are needed.

Two acids and a base...

plus a gel fixative to adhere to the steel.

First mix equal quantities of sulfuric acid and...

(COMPUTER TAPE STOP)

LILY: Oh, George, we have a problem here.

Marius thinks this man Montrose could be an imposter...

and I think you're the only one that could help us.

Now. Yes.

Yes, I've got that.

(WHISTLING)

What about Mr. Montrose's relatives and, uh, habits?

And the time he spent in prison.

Did you hear that, George?

(WHISTLING)

Anything else?

Thank you very much, George.

Listen, I want to take a walk.

Stretch my legs for a few minutes.

I guess it's all right.

(WHISTLING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(ROMANTIC MUSIC)

Joe.

Jenny.

Joe, why did they send you?

I'm passing myself off as Lyle Montrose.

How?

Rudy's experiment. It works.

I hope.

Rudy's experiment.

They drugged me, Joe.

I know, Jenny.

Let's make sure that our Mr. Montrose is the real Mr. Montrose.

Come.

(SIZZLING)

(DOOR OPENS)

(LOUD FOOTSTEPS)

Listen, if anybody asks you, you don't know me.

STENGER: Now tell me, what were you doing here?

I was going for a walk.

I heard this woman groaning. I thought she was in pain.

So, I opened the door.

You're a liar.

Nothing on him.

Jenny, dear.

Who is this man?

I asked you, who is this man?

I don't know.

Hey, Mark, I want the alarm activated at once.

I want a padlock put on the door, and I want the key.

Yes, sir.

You. Come here.

In the other room.

Joe.

Who is she?

Never you mind. Sit down!

Now I'm gonna ask you some questions...

and you better have the right answers, or else you're dead.

Your sister, what's her name?

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): Lyle Montrose has two sisters Doris and Margaret.

I don't know where you get your information, but I...

I've got two sisters, Margaret and Doris.

Now why don't you tell me about your family, Mr. Stenger?

Marius...

Now the judge that sentenced you to prison? What was his name?

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): was sentenced to one year in prison by U. S. Circuit Court...

(STATIC)

(TAPE SLOWS DOWN, STATIC)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

Well, Mr. Montrose?

I don't remember.

You don't remember?

I've tried to forget everything. His name, face, everything.

I've known too many men who've been in prison...

Mr. Montrose or whatever your name is.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (vo).- Judge...

STENGER: Every one of them remembered the name of the judge who sent them there.

Every one of them.

You're not Montrose. Mark!

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (vo).- Judge...

Clarence D. Yamell.

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

I think it was Yarnell.

JOE: Yes, that was it.

Clarence D. Yarnell.

What's the next question?

Marius...

I think we've asked Mr. Montrose enough questions.

Now you understand this.

You print the money.

You don't leave this room without going with one of my men.

You understand that?

Do you hear that, Mark?

Yes, sir.

OSCAR (VO): Remember, after you've destroyed the plates...

you and Jenny must be out of Stenger’s house by 6:00 am.

(MARK COUGHS)

(SIZZLING)

(MARK COUGHS)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): All alarm systems are activated by the door latches.

Therefore, you must open the door without disengaging the latch.

(TAPE STOPS)

(SIZZLING)

(MARK COUGHS)

(COUGHING CONTINUES)

(SIZZLING)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): The circuitry of the alarm system in the Stenger house...

is a Model 985.

Remove the wire from terminal number 14...

and attach one end of by-pass cable.

(GUARD COUGHS)

(COMPUTER TAPE FAST PLAYBACK)

JOE (VO): After you've attached by-pass cable to terminal number 14...

detach wire from terminal number 8.

In doing so, the gas release will be activated.

You then have 30 seconds to attach the other end of by-pass cable...

in order to shut off the gas, and prevent the alarm from being activated.

(GAS HISSES)

(GUARD COUGHS)

(GAS STOPS)

(JENNY GASPS) What?

How did you get in here, and how are we gonna get out of here?

The rest is gonna be a piece of cake.

See what I mean?

MARK: Mr. Stenger, they've escaped.

You idiot! Sound the alarm!

They must have gone to the helicopter.

(ALARM SOUNDS)

Joe, look out!

We've got a problem. Yeah, I know... they're gaining on us.

(GUNSHOTS)

JOE: Rudy and Oscar are going to hear about this...

if we can get it down.

They only gave me the computer tape on how to get one of these things in the air!

Not how to land it.

(BOTH LAUGH)

JENNY: You're kidding. JOE: What's so funny?

JENNY: Don't worry about it. I'll tell you what to do.

I've been flying these for years.

Jenny.

Well, I told you so.

It was written all over your face that night at Stenger's house.

What?

Oh, come on, Joe. You love it.

It's fun.

Jenny.

OSCAR: that we're just going to next week.

STEVE: Yeah.

OSCAR: Joe!

STEVE: Hey, Joe.

It's good to see you, Steve.

You look a lot better than the last time I saw you.

Oscar tells me you did a great job.

Well, you know how Oscar exaggerates.

Exaggerates? I don't exaggerate.

You were stupendous, Joe. That right, Rudy?

Uh, Oscar, remember his career as an undercover agent is over.

He said he'd do it once to get Jenny out of a jam, and that was it.

Right, Joe.

That's what I said.

But I changed my mind.

What?

Joe, do you know what you're letting yourself in for?

No.

But I've got to tell you, Steve...

when I was in Stenger's house, pretending to be Montrose...

I knew all along that they could pull the rug out from under me at any minute.

But it was exciting.

It was fun.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Joe, you're a welcome addition to our team.

Thank you. Welcome aboard.

The same old sales pitch.

Huh? What's that? What's that, Steve?

Oscar...

wherever you want to send me, whatever you want me to do, that's all right.

Joe, I think you and I better have a little talk.

Talk? What kinda talk?

I want to give him a few pointers on how to handle you, Oscar.

How to handle me? What do you mean, handling me?

There's one thing you gotta remember about Oscar.

It isn't pleasant, but it is the way Oscar is.
