[CHUCKLING]

Fascinating.

It would have seemed simpler, perhaps, to shoot him in the leg.

Then we could have searched and interrogated him.

I never did understand your American strategy.

Although I must say it intrigues me.

It's just a little bad luck, Mr. Gervais.

- You can't anticipate everything. GERVAIS: Oh, very impressive.

A philosophy that covers a millennium of failure.

But perhaps it was my fault. I probably expected too much from you.

We're doing our best to accommodate you, Mr. Gervais.

Mr. Varner, do not regard a clinical attitude as subversive.

It shall go on the record that the New York Thrush office...

...has been an admirable host to the head of the French Division of Thrush.

The fine limousine, the comfortable lodgings, are all superb.

But perhaps now, we could concentrate on getting results.

For example, getting the small list of names...

...our courier is taking to U.N.C.L.E. headquarters.

Do you suppose we could channel our energies in that direction? Hm?

Memo from the Language Translations Department Portuguese Division...

...to the Transportation Department. Here's today's weather report for Brazil.

In Rio the high today will be 85 degrees...

...65 percent humidity with unlimited visibility.

[PHONE BEEPING]

Portuguese translation, Miss Stevenson speaking.

Right.

For Mr. Solo?

Right. Thank you.

Uh, take my calls, will you, Connie?

Oh, Mandy. I've been looking for you.

- What is it? - Would you pick up a sandwich...

...when you go to lunch? I've got work to do.

- I'll be glad to. What would you like? - Oh, the usual. Thanks.

- Hello, Mandy. - Hello, Napoleon.

SOLO: I see you brought the file with your customary...

...efficiency.

To the wall, Mr. Solo. Your back to me.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Feet apart.

It's rather clever of you, I must admit.

I hoped you'd like it.

Keep your hands against the wall.

That's not bad. Thirty-seven seconds.

Too late for you, Mr. Solo.

No, don't!

[PISTOL CLICKS]

- What's going on here? - Oh!

MAN: What's this all about? - I didn't know they were here.

That's right. And they didn't know this was a toy.

You know, they could have killed you.

I would have let them too but good Portuguese translators are hard to find.

That's cynical. I was just showing him how self-sufficient I'm gonna be...

...when he takes me to the Inter-American Conference as his personal translator.

SOLO: I didn't know anyone was going with me to Rio.

Mandy wants very much to find the romance and glamour of espionage work.

So would I.

See, I have this time coming to me.

And I thought that if I just happened to be in Rio at the same time you were that--

Mandy.

That would be a very bad idea.

Mr. Waverly is waiting for the file.

Napoleon. Hey, Napoleon, listen.

Be open-minded.

After all I did show up a breakdown in security.

I brought this gun in without any trouble.

Mandy, security knew you brought it in. I checked the bottom of your desk myself.

[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

- What's that? - Once a spy, always a spy.

Oh, come on, Napoleon, listen. Be reasonable.

Mandy, my advice to you is simple.

- All I want for you-- - I know, I know.

Don't try any more stunts like this.

Be content with the warmth and the security...

...of the Language Translation Department, Portuguese Division.

Walk, do not run. Close cover before striking.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Here's your file, Mr. Solo.

ILLYA: Put your people on standby alert.

SOLO: What's the matter?

Thrush is mounting an all out operation.

They barely missed me on my way in from Washington this morning.

They were after this.

- The names and addresses of what? - The 12 top Thrush agents in France.

They know we're onto some of their men. They don't know which ones, however.

All they need is one look at this.

We shall have to hand-carry this information to our Paris bureau.

So they'll be prepared to move when Section One gives them the go-ahead.

Since Mr. Kuryakin has been spotted by Thrush...

...someone else will have to take the list.

All right, I'll take the 1:00 flight this afternoon.

Not you, Mr. Solo.

I've arranged for a special courier.

- Would you come in here, please? WOMAN: Yes, sir.

Why is it, with all the vast resources and power of this organization...

...that I must always be without enough pipe tobacco?

Yes, sir?

Would you arrange for someone to take this to my tobacconist...

...and get some of my blend.

- Yes, sir. - That's Isle of Dogs, No. 22.

- Is there anything else, sir? - Yes, there is.

Take this list to Mr. Baker in the microlab...

...and ask him to transfer it to a microdot.

Ask him to hurry please.

The courier will pick it up from him.

I'll meet you back here in 30 minutes and discuss the Rio situation.

Yes, sir.

Weren't you a little cold without your jacket?

Actually it was rather warm.

Well, you have certainly saturated the sector with your men.

And I assume you have made provisions in case the courier passes the information. Mm?

- No, I haven't yet. - Oh?

Well, now...

...since we have so effectively announced our presence...

...they will probably have the foresight to decoy us...

...and use another courier.

VARNER: I admit that's one possibility.

Mr. Varner, it has taken me 15 years...

...to build my organization throughout France.

It would be very nice if I could know which of my operatives is known to U.N.C.L.E.

Or face the task of having to completely liquidate and start anew.

Would you mind very much if I supervise this portion of the operation?

Well, Mr. Gervais...

...we can consider that your prerogative, of course.

I'm afraid I must.

The stakes are very high for me to stay home.

Well, hello there.

Hello.

- Mandy, what are you doing? - Now you've got to listen to me.

Mandy, take your finger off that emergency alarm button.

Nope. Not until you hear me out.

Now, I just want you to understand something, Napoleon.

I came to work here to find a little excitement, right?

So far the most exciting thing that happened to me is to miss my subway connection.

I might as well be working for the telephone company.

I tell you, in 30 seconds you're gonna have excitement...

...because everybody is going to come down that elevator shaft after us...

- ...if you don't get your finger off. - You know what I'm talking about.

If I could just get involved in something, just do something.

Then at least I'd have a memory.

I mean, it's bad enough that I don't have a future.

I can't even have a past.

Mandy, listen, I wish I could help you, but....

Oh, Napoleon, I just don't even care if they have weather in Brazil anymore.

I'm dying of acute dullness.

All right, gentlemen, put away your tools.

Just a little personal malfunction.

Let's go have some lunch.

Oh, well, I guess I've bored you enough with my troubles.

You've been a good sport.

There is another way to look at it, of course.

Without me, Baker would starve to death.

Mandy, wait a minute.

If there was something that you could do here in New York, would that satisfy you?

Of course it would. I just wanna do one thing. That would be--

I'm not going to kid you. It's dangerous.

That's the best kind.

A special courier, sort of an emergency for Mr. Waverly.

All of our regular couriers are tied up.

What is it?

I want you to make a delivery to the tobacco shop.

- Tobacco shop? - That's right.

You'll take Mr. Waverly's humidor and make the delivery to the tobacco shop.

When you get there, you'll ask the man for Mr. Waverly's special blend.

- Isle of Dogs, No. 22. - Isle of Dogs, No. 22.

- You got that? - What's the address?

It's on East 76th Street.

Any special route?

Of course.

You'll use evasion pattern number eight. Pay attention.

When you leave, you walk three blocks north, get into a taxicab...

...and go six blocks west get out, walk up to 49th Street.

- 49th Street. - The 49th Street cross-town bus.

Cross-town bus. Right.

Get off on 8th Avenue, double back, go 12 blocks south again.

- Twelve blocks. - That's right.

An area where there's a lot of theaters, art houses, cur-- Know that area?

Go into one of the theaters and wait five minutes, five minutes only.

Get out three blocks north, take a taxicab one block to the west and you're there.

- You got that? - I'm there.

- Do you got it? All right. - Yes, right.

Mr. Waverly's secretary will give you the humidor.

Just tell her I sent you.

Right.

I'll leave right away.

- Mandy. - Yes, yes.

What?

- When you get to the tobacco shop... - Right.

...make sure that the man who is there is the only one that opens the humidor.

It's wired to explode. That's right, is it?

Well, let's just say that he knows how to open it better than anyone else.

He will put something in it.

And you will return it here using reverse evasion pattern number eight.

- Right. - Mandy...

...good luck.

Oh, Napoleon...

...thank you.

Something's just happened.

I can hardly believe it.

Mr. Solo has just assigned me...

...to be Mr. Waverly's special courier.

I think I'll wear my contact lenses. It'll be a little more professional.

You're the special courier?

[ALARM BEEPING]

Put through a scrambled call to the Paris office.

Tell them to stand by for an alternate pattern.

Cancel my flight to Washington.

Oh, uh, Mr. Solo, it seems that this Miss Stevenson...

...informed Mr. Baker in the microlab that she was a special courier...

...assigned by you.

He turned over the microdot to her.

Now, what is this all about, Mr. Solo?

Well, I send her to pick up your tobacco, sir...

...and I led her to believe she was on a secret mission.

Why did you do that?

I felt sort of sorry for her. I mean, she never had any excitement in her life.

And I thought maybe if she thought she was on a mission...

...she'd see that there's a lot of excitement around her...

...imagine it anyway, and she'd suspect everyone of...

...being against her, and--

She'd fantasize an adventure, you see, and I thought--

It seemed like a good idea at the time, you know.

- You don't know, no. - What about the microdot?

Well, I imagine she took that to the tobacco shop along with your humidor.

I see. By what route?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, evasion pattern eight.

What?

Well, sir, it's a very complicated route that I gave her that I don't remember exactly.

Send out a search and seize on Miss Stevenson.

She's heading for my tobacconist.

By a very complicated route that Mr. Solo gave her.

He can't remember exactly.

I want every available walking agent out immediately...

...distribute photographs of her to anyone who might not otherwise recognize her.

Brief the men that she'll be carrying a very old and expensive...

...and irreplaceable tobacco humidor.

There are Thrush agents everywhere today.

They're out looking for me. Perhaps I better go out...

...see if I can draw their fire. If I'm lucky, I may decoy them.

Perhaps even as far as Trenton, New Jersey.

You, Mr. Solo, had better cruise the area.

Try and remember what route you gave her.

We'll have to find her before Thrush stumbles onto her.

We'll find her.

Yes, please, do that, Mr. Solo.

We've spotted him.

Yes, sir. Right.

Burnt almond.

"Walk back three blocks. Double back two."

I've picked up two Thrush agents.

All right. Call me when you get to Trenton.

I'm taking the next alley south.

No.

MANDY: Illya.

Oh, Mandy.

Illya.

- Illya, I'm being followed. - Not now, Mandy.

I think it's Thrush.

- I'll hold them off. You run. - Where?

Run, run.

- Did he pass it to her? - I don't know.

This is my stop, thank you.

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

Three blocks.

Two blocks.

Napoleon.

[PHONE BEEPING]

I spotted the girl.

Thrush was closing in on me, she got away.

Where are you now?

The corner of 63rd Street and 3rd Avenue.

Stay right where you are, I'll be over and pick you up.

We did get a good look at the girl.

I've got two of the men who saw her. She shouldn't be hard for us to spot.

Doesn't that strike you as being rather remarkable, Mr. Varner?

You not only had he original courier whom you missed earlier...

...but also the new courier and somehow they both escaped from you.

That must have taken an extraordinary piece of bad luck, Mr. Varner.

What are your instructions?

Well, I think it would be nice if you would find the girl.

Let's see. Uh....

Go into a theater.

She just went into a theater.

Go inside and watch her.

Please don't do anything until I arrive. What's the address?

Two-twenty-one East 70th. The New Cinema.

Thank you.

Driver, notify Mr. Varner. Take me there at once.

[EXPLOSIONS ON FILM]

I trust you remember what she looked like.

- We all saw her. - Fine, fine.

Now, there are already two men inside.

That makes five of us against one girl.

That should give us an even chance, don't you think?

You might go to the rear of the theater.

- You have your sniper scope? - Right here.

Mr. Varner, it might be to our advantage if you positioned yourself on that corner.

- This gentleman, the other end of the block. - And where will you be?

Myself?

I am very thirsty.

Good luck, Mr. Varner.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

ILLYA: That's the truck they were using.

SOLO: Yeah, the theater.

[GUNFIRE ON FILM]

Popcorn?

[GUNSHOTS]

I don't see her in here.

I want to check the other aisle east of here.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Ow!

- I beg your pardon. - Oh, I dropped my contact lens.

Oh, I'm so sorry, mademoiselle. May I help you?

No, no, no, you might step on it. Allow me.

- Sit down, please. - Oh, thank you.

Well...

...we know it is here but we do not know exactly where, do we?

Uh, no.

We ask ourselves now what would a clever man do at this point?

The answer might be that he'd be in a position...

...so he might catch a refraction of light from the lens.

Hey, down in front.

Thanks.

Where?

About three feet left of center.

Too bad.

He'll never know how it came out.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

And there it is.

Oh.

Oh.

Thank you very much.

It is a pleasure to find myself on my knees in front of such beauty.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, my. Well, thank you very much.

- I've got to be going now. - So soon?

After all we've just been through together...

...we cannot brush it aside without a farewell drink.

Well, that's very sentimental of you. But really, I've got to be going.

Perhaps we could postpone our little drink until this evening.

Uh.... Oh. I tell you what.

I mean, there is something you could do for me.

Just for old times' sake.

- If you don't mind? - How could I possibly mind?

Well, there's a man down the street who's been bothering me.

And I wonder if you could just walk me across the street.

Well, my pleasure, mademoiselle.

To think it is not safe for a young lady on the streets of New York.

- Criminal. - That's exactly the way I feel about it.

You must let me do something about it in my own small way.

If you like, my driver will take you home.

- Just give him your address. - No. I don't think I should.

Thank you very much.

- I'm very unpredictable. I accept your offer. - Fine, fine.

Take the young lady wherever she wishes to go, huh?

Congratulations.

I beg your pardon?

You've got her, haven't you?

But of course.

You Americans.

- Won't you gentlemen join us? - What about my men?

If is a double feature. They may not even miss us.

They got her. Come on.

Ooh.

Here, here. That's rather amateurish, don't you think?

How would you like it if I scream?

An U.N.C.L.E. agent scream? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Now I am surprised.

I'm sure you realize that the car is completely soundproofed.

Uh-uh. Just that I happen to scream rather well.

You should relax now, mademoiselle.

You've done very well so far.

Besides, we both know that this part of the game is over.

Oh. I wouldn't be too sure of that.

You're very charming, mademoiselle.

Here, look at this.

This is a gift from a friend of mine in Paris.

Here.

There. Now, smell that.

It doesn't smell so good.

What is it?

A cologne-scented tranquilizer.

Bon soir, mademoiselle.

I've got the number.

You'd better radio in our position.

ILLYA: Right.

There.

Looks like a Thrush field center.

I'd better call for some help.

We'll go upstairs now.

- No. - Come, come, come.

- No. - Let us not be difficult, come, come.

- Waverly will be here soon. - I'd like to have the car checked out.

But U.N.C.L.E. did that this morning at the garage.

A loose distributor cap.

You're a smart Russian.

- I'll signal you if I need any help. - I'll wait here.

Drive carefully.

MAN: Hi there. How are you?

Hi.

Can you take a look under the hood? It keeps dying on me.

Sure.

- Stalls out, huh? - Mm-hm.

Let's see.

All right.

Ow!

- That will be all, Miss Raven. - Yes, sir.

Miss Mandy Stevenson.

It seems we overlooked the formalities of our encounter.

I am Victor Gervais.

I know you've had a very trying day, Miss Stevenson.

May I relieve you of the information you are carrying?

- What information is that? - Oh, please, please.

Let us treat each other with some respect.

After all, we are both professionals.

That's true.

Now, you are carrying a little list in some form.

And you are concealing it in some manner.

I wonder what it looks like.

- Could I encourage you to show it to me? - Oh, I, uh...

...would really hate to disappoint you. Maybe you shouldn't try.

I, uh...

...saved this for the last because it is most interesting.

A girl and her humidor.

Odd that a girl should be carrying it, isn't it?

Well, it looks like a humidor.

The right size, at least.

Smells like a humidor.

What do you suppose it is?

A humidor.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

A discerning answer.

[GASPS]

Of course, if it is not the commonplace everyday type of humidor...

...it might be dangerous to open unless one knew how.

Um....

That is one way of looking at it.

Would you oblige me, please?

Oh, no, I don't know how to open it either.

See, that humidor belongs to a friend of mine.

He just lets me carry it.

A most difficult decision.

- What are you gonna do? - Gamble with our lives.

I'm going to open your humidor.

You have lost your amusement value.

I'm afraid you know the next step. Please give me the information.

It won't work, Mr. Gervais.

And let me warn you, I don't crack under pressure.

Not at all?

Not noticeably, no.

We shall see.

I'm afraid we must start by searching you.

Oh, boy.

Just a second.

Let me look at your lube record.

Give me a closed channel, please. Code D.

Mr. Solo?

He'll have to call you right back.

Mr. Solo's in trouble.

We'd better hurry.

Mister.

Here's your trouble, right over here.

Take a look at that.

Your distributor cap's loose. See?

Where is she?

Where is she?

Upstairs.

All right, now solve the mystery. How do I get up there?

Comfy?

I couldn't be better, thank you.

- Are you all right? - Oh, yeah, I'm all right, thanks.

I'm just so sorry, Napoleon. I've done nothing but make mistakes.

There's no reason to feel that way, it's not your fault.

MANDY: That's sweet of you, but it is my fault.

There's a man loitering down the street.

We've been watching him. I think he's an U.N.C.L.E. agent.

Yes, I know.

We have not found anything on either of these two.

We should take them to headquarters and take advantage of their sophisticated...

...question-and-answer facilities.

Your friend looks very lonely out there, Mr. Solo.

Waiting for reinforcements, no doubt.

Mr. Varner, you might go downstairs...

...and see if you can arrange a little surprise for our expected guests.

Uh, a surprise?

Yes, Mr. Varner. A surprise.

It'll be a pleasure.

You're making a mistake.

I just thought you'd like to know that.

How is that, Mr. Solo?

Miss Stevenson isn't a courier.

She's simply a decoy.

Just a smoke screen to cover the real courier.

You do not expect me to believe that, so consequently, I will not.

Miss Stevenson happens to be a translator in our Portuguese department.

You don't really think that we would entrust her with such important information, do you?

If you gave me the information now, I will set her free.

If not, she will have to come with us to headquarters.

You will come in any case, of course.

Of course. I was counting on that.

Perhaps you would like to be truly noble, Mr. Solo.

Save the young lady's life. Convince her.

Oh, thank you, Napoleon.

But I'm not going to give him anything. No matter what does to me.

So don't look so smug.

I accept your decision.

Now you must excuse me.

I must welcome your rescuers.

You don't have to do this. You know that.

Let's not kid ourselves.

The minute I give him the microdot, he's gonna kill me.

- Believe me, I know the type. - What did you do with the microdot?

Hey, you two. Knock off the talking.

Temper, temper. Shame, shame.

Just exchanging a few little trade secrets here.

Now, this may seem a little crude to you but it'll work.

The wire will detonate the explosive and the gasoline.

How large will the blast be?

We'll close off the wall and open the door.

The force of the blast will go out into the street.

We'll be all right upstairs.

You won't feel a thing.

Now, all I have to do is press the alarm button upstairs...

- ...and surprise. - Surprise.

She's in that building.

- Where's Mr. Solo? - He went inside the garage.

I'll give them enough time to get inside before I explode the gasoline.

I think you have actually succeeded, Mr. Varner, so far at least.

Miss Raven, I think you should better join the rest.

Get ready.

- Don't do that. - Help!

Help me.

Of course you're not serious.

Deadly serious.

You are hardly in a practical position, Mr. Solo.

Do you really think you can fire accurately that way?

SOLO: Oh, I hate to count how many times I've done it.

That's far enough.

Offhand, I would say you were aiming a little high and wide and to the right.

Well, does anyone ever tell you that you're a very large target?

Perhaps.

Well, how about that?

Oh. Oh!

You're wonderful, Napoleon.

Yes, I am, aren't I?

It's astonishing.

Get that man out of the window before he commits a nuisance.

- Are you all right, Miss Stevenson? - I'm a little bit homesick.

Other than that, I'm fine.

Can you release them, Mr. Kuryakin?

Yes, sir. I have a key.

Well, you two seem to have had quite a busy day.

Yes, as a matter of fact we've managed to keep quite busy.

How did you manage it?

Smart American.

We've got them all rounded up. The security truck will be here any minute.

Very good.

Well, Victor...

...it's been a long time.

I look forward to talking to you at length.

I will admit only one thing.

Any organization with agents like Miss Stevenson....

Well, I must concede you have something there.

You seem to have caused quite a sensation.

- Have you still got the microdot? - Oh, yes, sir.

WAVERLY: May I have it, please? - Yes. Um.

There's a tweezer with my things on the table.

Okay. Here we go.

There, I put it inside my contact lens for safekeeping.

Most inventive, I must say.

Would you think so, Mr. Solo?

Was...

...that the lens I found for you?

Small world, isn't it?

And to think I've been abusing poor Mr. Varner.

It's a long, hard day.

Well, now really you can't expect too much sympathy.

You should have known better than to take on an organization like U.N.C.L.E.

But it was not quite a fair fight with you on their side, Miss Stevenson.

But at least it brought us together.

Maybe next time it will be on my grounds and my terms.

Well, that's very sweet of you.

Mr. Gervais.

Goodbye, mademoiselle.

It's been somewhat of a pleasure.

Gentlemen.

Mr. Kuryakin.

- It seems we're back to you. - Yes, sir.

It all turned out rather well I thought, don't you think so, Napoleon?

Well, we got Gervais. That is worth something.

But that's not everything, Mr. Solo.

You gentlemen are forgetting something most important.

My humidor.

Miss Stevenson, on your way back to the office--

Um, if it's all the same to you, sir...

...I just feel so anxious to get back to my Portuguese weather reports.

Why, yes, of course.

A mission of this importance should go to someone with special qualifications.

Mr. Solo.

Yes, somehow I feel it is coming to me.

[ENGLISH SDH]
