[ "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEME" PLAYING ]

Man: GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. PHELPS.

RAYMOND HALDER, OWNER OF A CHAIN OF CLINICS,

IS ALSO THE HEAD

OF THE LARGEST DRUG COUNTERFEITING RING IN THE U.S.

HE IS BEHIND THE SALE

OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OF DRUGS

THAT NOT ONLY ARE USELESS, BUT OFTEN KILL.

A NEW DRUG, DILATRIN, DEVELOPED BY GANT PHARMACEUTICALS,

WHICH COULD HAVE SAVED THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS

OF PRIMARY VASCULAR DISEASE,

HAS BEEN INEFFECTIVE

BECAUSE HALDER HAS FLOODED THE MARKET WITH WORTHLESS FAKES.

GANT IS ABOUT TO REISSUE THE DRUG IN A DIFFERENT FORM

IN AN ATTEMPT TO BEAT THE COUNTERFEIT PROBLEM.

YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO STOP HALDER

BEFORE THE NEW DILATRIN IS PUT ON THE MARKET.

AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE

BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,

THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ]

[ TONE STOPS ]

WOW. THE ROOM SUDDENLY STARTED SPINNING AROUND.

Barney: THE ULTRASONIC WAVES PENETRATE TO THE INNER EAR.

THIS CAUSES TEMPORARY VERTIGO.

ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF PRIMARY VASCULAR DISEASE,

RIGHT, DOCTOR?

VERTIGO, HEADACHES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

USUALLY THE HEADACHES COME FIRST.

THESE FRAMES ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ONES HALDER WEARS.

ONLY THE LENSES HAVE BEEN ALTERED SLIGHTLY.

THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS HEADACHES.

WHAT ABOUT HIS BLOOD PRESSURE READING?

WELL, EVEN THOUGH HE'S LOST HIS LICENSE,

HE WAS A TRAINED PHYSICIAN.

STILL KEEPS A MEDICAL BAG IN THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET TO THAT BAG

AND MAKE SOME SLIGHT, UH, ADJUSTMENTS.

DOCTOR...

WHAT ABOUT THE LASER?

I THINK IT WILL GIVE YOU JUST WHAT YOU WANT.

BY THE WAY, I WAS WONDERING, SINCE THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS

ALL ABOUT HALDER'S COUNTERFEITING THE DRUGS,

WHY DON'T THEY JUST ARREST HIM?

UNDER THE PRESENT LAWS,

THE MOST THEY CAN GET HIM ON IS A MISDEMEANOR.

THEY'VE INVESTIGATED HIM THOROUGHLY,

BEEN OVER HIS TAX RETURNS.

HALDER CLINICS REPORTS EVERY DIME OF INCOME.

WHEN I DIRECT THE LASER BEAM INTO THE TWO BALLOONS,

IT WILL PASS HARMLESSLY THROUGH THE CLEAR BALLOON

AND BREAK THE RED, INNER BALLOON.

IN A HUMAN BEING, IT WILL PASS THROUGH THE SKIN

AND RUPTURE THE SUBDERMAL BLOOD VESSEL.

WILL THERE BE ANY PERMANENT DAMAGE?

NO MORE THAN A SIMPLE BRUISE OR NOSEBLEED.

SHUT 'EM DOWN!

KILL THE DYES!

WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE DILATRIN FOR A WHILE.

WHY NOT?

GANT'S PULLING THEM OFF THE MARKET.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE A NEW TABLET THE FIRST OF THE MONTH.

I SHOULD GET THE DETAILS

AT A BRIEFING THEY'RE HOLDING THIS AFTERNOON.

WE'LL SWITCH TO 400,000 PENICILLIN TABLETS.

I'LL GET 'EM RIGHT AT IT.

HARRY, CLEAR YOUR COUNTER.

STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, EVERYBODY.

FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL.

MOVE AWAY FROM THERE.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST.

THE BUILDING AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS IMPOUNDED AS EVIDENCE.

YOU DRUG CONTROL PEOPLE CAN'T ARREST ANYBODY.

THAT'S RIGHT, BUT THIS IS DETECTIVE SERGEANT LOWTHER

OF THE CITY POLICE -- HE CAN.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE!

HOLD IT, MISTER.

WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT TO SAY, YOU SAY IT FROM THERE.

THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SAY

IS THAT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M RAYMOND HALDER OF THE HALDER CLINICS.

MY ASSOCIATE AND I WERE HERE BUYING DRUGS.

COUNTERFEIT DRUGS?

OH, NO.

WE BUY DRUGS HERE BECAUSE THEY'RE LESS EXPENSIVE.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY'RE JUST HERE LOOKING FOR A BARGAIN.

THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT. YOU TWO CAN GO.

IF THESE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO SELL ME COUNTERFEIT DRUGS,

I OWE YOU MY THANKS

AND THE THANKS OF MY PATIENTS AT THE HALDER CLINICS.

I WANT TO SEE YOU IN YOUR OFFICE, MR. HALDER,

3:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

OKAY, EVERYBODY, LET'S GO.

STICK AROUND. KEEP AN EYE ON THE EQUIPMENT.

I GOT A FUNNY FEELING ABOUT THIS.

RIGHT.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

I'M CHARLES GANT, PRESIDENT OF GANT PHARMACEUTICALS.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, OUR DRUG, DILATRIN,

HAS BEEN SO WIDELY COUNTERFEITED

WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WITHDRAW IT FROM THE MARKET.

HOWEVER, I THINK WE HAVE DEVISED A PLAN

THAT WILL ENABLE US TO REISSUE THE DRUG,

AND AT THE SAME TIME,

GREATLY REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF COUNTERFEITING.

MISS KATHERINE BORDEN OF OUR DRUG SECURITY SECTION

HAS WORKED OUT THE DETAILS.

I SHALL ASK HER TO EXPLAIN THEM TO YOU.

THIS IS THE CURRENT DILATRIN TABLET

WITH WHICH WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR.

THIS IS A DRAWING

OF WHAT THE NEW TABLET IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

YOU WILL NOTICE, WE HAVE NOT COLORED IN THE TABLET.

WE INTEND TO CHANGE THE COLOR,

AS WELL AS THE IDENTIFYING TRADEMARK, EVERY 30 DAYS.

THESE CHANGES WILL BE ANNOUNCED TO YOU

BY OUR REPRESENTATIVES ONLY.

TRY TO MAKE YOUR INITIAL PURCHASE

JUST ENOUGH TO COVER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD.

THIS SHOULD ALLOW US

TO STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF ANY DRUG COUNTERFEITERS

WHO MIGHT ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE TABLET.

[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ]

WORKING OUT JUST FINE.

I JUST HAVE TO FOCUS THIS STYLUS.

THE WINDOW.

THEREFORE WE SUGGEST YOU RETURN

ALL THE DILATRIN YOU HAVE IN STOCK TO US.

AS A POINT OF INFORMATION, WE'VE DISCOVERED

THAT THE COUNTERFEITS TEND TO CRUMBLE VERY EASILY.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

I'M RAYMOND HALDER, HALDER CLINICS.

WE HAVE MILLIONS OF YOUR DILATRIN TABLETS ON HAND.

WILL WE BE REIMBURSED WHEN WE TURN THEM IN?

WELL, OBVIOUSLY, MR. HALDER, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S COSTING US A GREAT DEAL ALREADY

JUST TO REDESIGN THE TABLET

AND CHANGE THE COLOR EVERY MONTH.

AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS,

I'LL BE VERY GLAD TO ANSWER THEM.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

EXCUSE ME.

MR. HALDER?

PERHAPS I COULD HELP YOU DETERMINE

IF THE DILATRIN YOU HAVE IN YOUR CLINICS

IS COUNTERFEIT OR REAL.

IT MIGHT SAVE YOU THE COST OF REPLACING

THE ENTIRE SUPPLY.

YOU WOULD DO THAT?

I WOULD. YES.

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE?

WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU ON THE STAFF OF HALDER CLINICS,

WE COULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM OF COUNTERFEIT DRUGS,

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

YOU WOULD CHECK EACH SHIPMENT BEFORE WE ACCEPT IT.

THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT IDEA IF YOU COULD AFFORD IT.

DOUBLE YOUR PRESENT SALARY.

DON'T GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.

GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SELL YOU ON HALDER CLINICS.

HOW ABOUT HAVING DINNER WITH ME TONIGHT?

MR. HALDER, I'M REALLY VERY HAPPY WITH MY PRESENT JOB.

AT LEAST, HEAR ME OUT.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE CHANGE,

YOU'VE LOST NOTHING AND YOU'VE HAD A GOOD DINNER.

ALL RIGHT.

8:00. 4082 NORTH 32nd.

4082 NORTH 32nd.

MR. HALDER, AS I SEE IT, THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO GO.

I CAN KEEP ON HOUNDING YOU,

I CAN KEEP ON HITTING YOU WITH MISDEMEANORS,

I CAN $500-FINE YOU TO DEATH,

MAYBE I CAN EVEN PUT YOU AWAY IN THE COUNTY FARM

FOR 60 OR 90 DAYS.

OR...I CAN LET YOU OPERATE.

SORT OF, LIVE AND LET LIVE, YOU KNOW?

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY,

HOW HIGH DO YOU FIGURE ON LIVING?

I MAKE $142.50 A WEEK WORKING FOR THE FDC.

IF I COULD... LET'S SAY, DOUBLE THAT,

THAT WOULD BE LIVING ENOUGH.

HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU?

WELL, IT'S NOT GOING TO COST YOU MUCH TO FIND OUT.

ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE ON THE PAYROLL.

ONE MORE THING THAT HAS TO BE SETTLED

BEFORE WE CLOSE THIS NEGOTIATION --

YOU KNOW THAT COP THAT WAS WITH ME THIS MORNING?

HE HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, TOO.

YOU'RE GOING TO SHAKE ME DOWN

FOR AN EXTRA BUCK, HUH?

HOW DO I KNOW HE'S IN THIS?

TAKE A LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW.

[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ]

WHAT IS IT? YOU OKAY?

HMM?

I DON'T KNOW. DIZZY.

ALL RIGHT. HE WANTS IN. WHO SAYS I NEED HIM?

HE DOES.

IF I WERE YOU, I'D TAKE HIS OPINION PRETTY SERIOUSLY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

HE'S A HARD COP, MR. HALDER. HE'S TOUGH.

YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT HE MIGHT DO.

YOU PEOPLE IN THE DRUG BUSINESS ARE VULNERABLE.

HE MIGHT JUST TAKE IT INTO HIS HEAD ONE DAY

TO PICK YOU UP FOR CARRYING THE WRONG KIND OF DRUGS --

THE ILLEGAL KIND.

HE CAN DO IT, BELIEVE ME.

OHH.

GET HIM UP HERE.

I FIGURED YOU WERE TRYING

TO SQUARE A PINCH FOR THIS LADY,

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.

IF YOU'RE TRYING TO UP THE ANTE, WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY SO?

NOW, TAKE IT EASY, HALDER.

LOOK, IF HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS FROM THIS MISS BORDEN,

HE STANDS TO MAKE A FORTUNE, RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, LET HIM PAY WHAT IT'S WORTH.

[ Sighs ] TELL ME ONE THING, CAN YOU DO IT?

YEAH. I CAN DO IT, AND IT'LL WORK.

PEOPLE -- WELL, THEY GET KIND OF TIGHT AND CLAMMY

WHEN YOU PUT THE CUFFS ON THEM

AND IT STARTS PINCHING THEIR WRISTS.

AND HOW MUCH?

TEN BIG ONES.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT A DEAL.

THANKS A LOT.

JUST SEE TO IT

THAT SHE'S IN YOUR APARTMENT BY MIDNIGHT, HMM?

I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.

[ DIALING ]

EDDIE BACK YET?

SEND HIM IN.

WHAT ABOUT THE CREW?

USUAL. OUT ON $250 BAIL.

GET THEM TOGETHER AND OUT TO THE WAREHOUSE.

WE'LL BE BACK IN BUSINESS TONIGHT.

THE NEW DILATRIN?

IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, WE MAY BE ON THE MARKET WITH THEM

AHEAD OF GANT PHARMACEUTICALS.

WAIT FOR ME HERE.

RIGHT, MR. HALDER.

THERE WE ARE.

HERE. LET ME HELP YOU.

THANK YOU.

WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?

NOW, WHAT CAN I GET YOU -- SCOTCH, BRANDY, COFFEE?

A BRANDY WOULD BE LOVELY.

THERE YOU ARE.

THANK YOU.

AREN'T YOU GOING TO JOIN ME?

I THINK I'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF ASPIRIN FIRST,

THEN SOME BRANDY.

HEADACHE?

I'VE HAD IT ALL DAY, NOT BAD.

UH...EXCUSE ME A MOMENT, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, MAC, MOVE IT.

OFFICER, I WAS TOLD TO WAIT RIGHT HERE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.

YOU'RE IN A NO-PARKING ZONE.

NOW, COME ON, LET'S MOVE.

ALL RIGHT, OFFICER, I'LL MOVE IT.

THIS CAR BELONG TO HALDER?

YEAH, IT'S HIS CAR.

SEE TO IT IT STAYS WHERE IT IS.

YES, SIR.

OH, AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, KEEP AN EYE ON MY CAR.

RIGHT.

I'M FLATTERED, MR. HALDER, I REALLY AM,

BUT I THINK I'D BE HAPPIER

STAYING AT GANT PHARMACEUTICALS.

[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]

WHO CAN THAT BE AT THIS HOUR?

[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU KATHERINE BORDEN?

YES.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

WHY? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE?

YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY IT DUMB, IS THAT IT?

ALL RIGHT.

ILLEGAL POSSESSION, NARCOTICS.

YOU HALDER?

YES, RAYMOND HALDER.

MISS BORDEN IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

YOU OUGHT TO BE MORE CAREFUL

WHO YOU INVITE INTO YOUR HOUSE.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

THIS, THIS MUST BE SOME MISTAKE.

KEY TO A RENTAL LOCKER. WHERE IS IT?

I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT KEY BEFORE.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

GO?

WHERE? CENTRAL BUS DEPOT.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THAT LOCKER.

LOOK, YOU'RE OUT OF THIS, KEEP IT THAT WAY.

THIS LADY IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

IF YOU TAKE HER ANYWHERE, I'M GOING WITH YOU.

SUIT YOURSELF.

THIS YOUR CAR?

YES.

FOLLOW ME.

NEED ANY HELP?

EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL. THANKS.

[ ZIPPER OPENS ]

AMPHETAMINES. MUST BE A COUPLE OF THOUSAND HERE.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU GOT A PRESCRIPTION FOR THESE,

DO YOU?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

JUST A MINUTE, OFFICER.

MAY I SPEAK TO YOU PRIVATELY FOR A MOMENT?

YEAH.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA, DOC. MAKE YOUR MOVE.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS,

BUT DON'T TRY ANYTHING.

WHAT'S GOING ON? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE PILLS GOT IN THERE,

AND I DON'T CARE.

I ONLY KNOW HE'S WILLING TO GIVE YOU A BREAK.

HE'LL FORGET THE WHOLE THING FOR $5,000.

$5,000?! I DON'T HAVE $5,000.

BESIDES, I --

I KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET IT.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WOULD PAY TWICE THAT

TO KNOW WHAT THE NEW DILATRIN'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

I'LL ADVANCE YOU THE MONEY.

YOU CAN'T MEAN THAT.

LOOK, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, BIG TROUBLE.

YOU COULD GET UP TO FIVE YEARS FOR POSSESSION OF THOSE PILLS.

LOOK, I DIDN'T PUT THEM IN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.

OKAY.

EVEN IF YOU WERE ABLE TO CONVINCE A JURY OF THAT,

THE PUBLICITY WOULD RUIN YOU.

YOU'D BE OUT OF THE DRUG BUSINESS FOR GOOD.

NOW, MY WAY...

I CAN'T GO YOUR WAY, MR. HALDER.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

LET'S GO.

YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS.

YOU PLANTED THOSE PILLS SO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY YOU.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO TELL THEM DOWN AT THE STATION?

YOU BET IT IS.

IT'S A GOOD THING I, I GOT A WITNESS.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

THIS IS LOWTHER. I'M BRINGING IN A 512.

BORDEN. B-O-R-D-E-N.

FIRST NAME, KATHERINE.

YOU WORK AT GANT PHARMACEUTICALS?

SHE'S A BIGWIG AT GANT PHARMACEUTICALS.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO LET THE TV AND PRESS BOYS IN ON THIS.

COMING IN RIGHT NOW.

OUT.

I CAN STILL GET YOU OUT OF THIS.

ALL RIGHT, MOVE AWAY. WE'RE PULLING OUT.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] WAIT.

MR. HALDER, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE YOUR WAY.

Halder: SERGEANT.

I'LL PAY YOU BACK, MR. HALDER.

I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN, BUT I'LL PAY YOU BACK.

NOT SOMEHOW AND NOT SOMETIME,

YOU'LL PAY ME BACK NOW,

AND IN THE WAY WE AGREED.

THAT'S IT.

I WANT THEM DELIVERED IN BATCHES OF 10,000

AS THEY COME OFF THE PRESSES.

YES, SIR, MR. HALDER.

DID SHE GIVE YOU THE CHANGES FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS?

Halder: OH, YEAH.

[ PAPER RUSTLES ]

GOOD.

LET'S LOOK AT THE TABLETS.

[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ]

WELL, THE COMPRESSION, TEXTURE, AND SHAPE ARE FINE.

I DON'T TASTE ANY MEDICATION AT ALL.

WHAT'S IN THESE TABLETS?

THE SAME THING WE USE IN PENICILLIN, DIGITALIS, INSULIN,

WHATEVER WE MAKE -- MILK POWDER.

LET'S SEE HOW THE COATING LOOKS.

Halder: TURN IT ON.

GENE.

ALL RIGHT, TURN IT OFF.

THEY DON'T CRUMBLE.

THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL THEM FROM THE REAL THING.

ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT THE FULL RUN.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, LET'S GET TO WORK.

EDDIE?

YEAH, DOC?

GET MY BAG OUT OF MY CAR.

ARE YOU OKAY, BOSS?

JUST GET IT, EDDIE.

YEAH.

I IMAGINE I CAN LEAVE,

NOW THAT I'VE TOLD YOUR FRIEND ALL HE WANTED TO KNOW.

YOU'LL LEAVE WHEN I TELL YOU TO.

I KEPT MY PART OF THE BARGAIN. I'M DUE AT WORK.

THERE'S A PHONE THERE.

CALL THEM AND TELL THEM YOU'RE NOT COMING IN.

CALL 'EM.

I SAID CALL THEM.

[ DIALING ]

[ RINGS ]

MR. FLETCHER, PLEASE.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

MR. FLETCHER, THIS IS KATHERINE BORDEN.

I'M SORRY, I WON'T BE IN TO WORK TODAY.

NO, NO, JUST A LITTLE COLD.

I WILL. THANK YOU.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW.

DOCTOR, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN

THAT HALDER HAS NEVER BEEN IN THIS CLINIC BEFORE.

NO, HE'S APPARENTLY INTERESTED ONLY

IN THE BUSINESS END OF MEDICINE.

WE'VE NEVER LAID EYES ON HIM, EXCEPT FOR THOSE.

HERE YOU ARE, DOC.

PULL THAT TIGHT.

GIVE ME THE OTHER ONE.

HOLD THAT THERE. YEAH.

[ AIR INFLATES ]

[ AIR DEFLATES ]

[ AIR INFLATES ]

[ AIR DEFLATES ]

[ HEARTBEAT PULSES ]

[ PULSING BECOMES LOUDER ]

HOW BAD IS IT, DOC?

250...OVER 101.

[ CLANKING ]

WHAT IS IT?

LET ME SEE.

[ CLANKING CONTINUES ]

EVERYTHING LOOKS OKAY.

[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ]

CALL AN AMBULANCE, QUICK.

SURE, DOC.

[ DIALING ]

GET THEM BACK TO WORK.

ALL RIGHT, YOU MEN,

GET BACK TO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING.

TRY TO STAY CALM.

DOC.

THE AMBULANCE IS ON THE WAY.

[ WAILING ]

THIS EMERGENCY CASE IS RAYMOND HALDER.

ONE OF HIS OWN CLINICS IS AROUND THE CORNER

ON 16th STREET -- TAKE HIM THERE.

EDDIE...TAKE CARE OF HER.

MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT.

NOW MAY I GO?

SURE, I'LL TAKE YOU.

NO, I'D RATHER GO ALONE.

YOU'LL DO WHAT I TELL YOU.

DROP IT, EDDIE.

HE SAID DROP IT.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

I KNOW YOU WERE A PHYSICIAN ONCE YOURSELF, MR. HALDER,

SO I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH.

THE STROKE WAS BROUGHT ON BY PRIMARY VASCULAR DISEASE.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S NOT REALLY THAT GLOOMY, MR. HALDER.

RECENTLY, A GREAT DEAL OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE

IN THIS AREA.

THERE'S A PILL THAT'S BEEN DEVELOPED CALLED DILATRIN.

WITH IT, YOU'LL PROBABLY LIVE TO BE 90.

WITHOUT IT, THERE'S NO HOPE.

THERE YOU ARE.

THESE ARE NO GOOD.

OF COURSE THEY ARE.

THE ENTERIC COATING IS JUST DRIER THAN USUAL, THAT'S ALL.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

THEY'RE NO GOOD, I TELL YOU. THEY'RE USELESS.

CALL GANT PHARMACEUTICALS, GET THEIR NEW PILL.

NOW, EASY, HALDER.

MR. HALDER, YOU MUST TAKE THESE PILLS.

THEY'RE NO GOOD, I TELL YOU. THEY'RE COUNTERFEIT.

NONSENSE.

LOOK AT THE TRADEMARK. HERE'S THE CARTON.

GANT'S DILATRIN.

THEY'RE COUNTERFEIT.

I...I KNOW...I MADE THEM.

MR. HALDER, YOU MUST TAKE THESE PILLS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

STUPID. I MADE AND SOLD MILLIONS OF THEM,

PROBABLY EVERY BOTTLE YOU HAVE IN THIS CLINIC.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME, CALL GANT, SEE,

GET THE NEW PILL.

IF I DON'T HAVE THE REAL THING, I'LL DIE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE, MR. HALDER.

SEE, YOU DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A STROKE,

AND YOU DON'T NEED DILATRIN.

BARNEY.

YOU FIGURE THAT CONSTITUTES A CONFESSION, HUH?

YOU WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO MAKE A MISDEMEANOR STICK.

WHAT IS IT?

$500 FINE, 6 MONTHS IN JAIL?

THAT'S JUST FOR MAKING THE DRUGS.

YOU CONFESSED TO SELLING THEM,

YET YOUR TAX RETURNS DIDN'T SHOW ANY INCOME FROM THOSE SALES.

WHICH MEANS, MR. HALDER,

YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT 20 YEARS IN A FEDERAL PRISON

FOR TAX FRAUD.
