All language subtitles for Mission Impossible s04e05 Fools Gold.eng

Good morning, Mr. Phelps.

One of these 100-drona notes

is the legitimate currency
of the Kingdom of Bahkan,

the other is a perfect counterfeit.

One hundred million
of this counterfeit drona

have been printed by Igor Stravos,

finance minister
of the Federated People's Republic.

Stravos has demanded that Bahkan
redeem its currency in gold.

If Bahkan cannot prove the notes
are counterfeit,

it must meet the demand.

Stravos knows this will exhaust
Bahkan's gold reserve

and precipitate the overthrow
of Bahkan's pro-Western government.

Your mission, Jim,
should you decide to accept it,

is to destroy the counterfeit drona,
get the plates,

and make certain that Stravos
never again presents a threat.

As always, should you or any
of your IM 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.

All I heard was a low hum.

It'll protect you
from the ultrasonic sound.

But only for ten minutes,
12 minutes at the outside.

- After that, the power pack burns up.
- What happens then?

Ultrasonic waves operating at a million
cycles a second can cook an egg.

The sound frequency in that corridor
is 3 million cycles.

You won't be able to hear it,
but in two minutes,

it can turn you into a vegetable.

I will try to remember that.

Unfortunately, only Stravos' voice print
can turn off the current in the corridor.

We can't do it
without their knowing about it.

- Willy?
- This will fit right over their time lock.

When they set this to open
at 8 in the morning,

this will recalibrate the time so that it
will open the vault door at 12 midnight.

Good. Now, the Bahkan government
has agreed to cooperate with us.

They've already allowed Stravos
access to a duplicate of this file.

And they've given us
a legitimate drona.

At least one side of it.

And these.

- Legitimate plates?
- Yes.

With one minor alteration. Barney?

Good.

That's right, Beth.

But Stravos has made perfect
counterfeit drona.

They're undetectable.

So you can be sure that
he's taking every precaution

to see that they're protected.

Well, we're going to use
his precautions to destroy him.

Yes?

Baron Rakozny, special envoy
from the Kingdom of Bahkan, minister.

Show him in.

Baron Rakozny.

- Minister Stravos.
- Please, sit down.

Thank you, I would prefer to stand.

- A cognac?
- No, thank you.

I would like a glass.

I'd like to come to the point of this.
We do not have time for amenities.

- Proceed, proceed, baron.
- You have been informed

that my country's government
has decided to redeem in gold

the 100 million drona held
by the Federated People's Republic.

Oh, yes.

I therefore propose this meeting
take place tomorrow afternoon,

here in your office, 2:00,

and that the World Monetary
Commission witness the exchange.

- That is satisfactory.
- Very well.

This is Yuri Zagar.

If you have no objection,

I would like him to inspect the drona
your country holds.

But why?

We have heard rumours our currency
has been counterfeited in quantity.

Your government may have received
some of this unwittingly, of course.

Naturally, we would like to isolate it.

Is Mr. Zagar qualified
to discover counterfeit drona?

Eminently qualified, minister.

When would you like this inspection
to take place?

If you so please, immediately.

Very well. Follow me.

What is the trouble?

These bulbs are due to be replaced.

I have a meeting at the embassy.
If you have no objection,

Mr. Zagar will stay here
and continue the inspection?

Of course.

Give Mr. Zagar any assistance
he may require.

Bruno.

Elizabeth.

Minister Stravos, my wife,
the Baroness Elizabeth Rakozny.

- Baroness.
- Minister.

I am very busy, Elizabeth.
What do you want?

You promised me this morning you
would take me to lunch, remember?

Possibly, but I'm afraid
it's out of the question now.

Oh, but this is our last day here
and I wanted to see the Café Intime.

Café Intime? You can't be serious.
Don't you know its reputation?

Yes. It's one of
the most famous cafés in Europe.

Well, infamous, you mean.
It's a rendezvous for lovers,

for men and their mistresses,
Elizabeth.

Bruno, we are married.

- I want to go.
- No, I forbid it.

You did not forbid Mr. Zagar.

Mr. Zagar does as he pleases since he
does not have a reputation to protect.

Now, I must meet the ambassador
in 20 minutes.

- But, Bruno, I...
- No, absolutely not.

Minister.

Would you like for me to arrange for
a government car to take you...?

I'm tired of looking at your country
through a hotel window.

I'm sorry, it's not your fault.

It's just that Bruno is so impossible.

Well, he is rather strange,
quite Victorian.

Victorian? Autocratic, you mean.

He believes he rules everything.

Everybody but Mr. Zagar.

Mr. Zagar is different. He is...

What?

How is he different?

Are you as curious about him
as I am about the Café Intime?

Your husband forbids you
to go there.

I know a lot about Mr. Zagar.

I would be willing
to discuss him over lunch.

No, I'm afraid your husband
would be very, very angry if...

Mr. Zagar is a criminal.

What kind of criminal?

Lunch, say, 1:00?

I'm afraid that I'm not brave enough
to risk your husband's anger.

Now, please, what kind of criminal?

He is a counterfeiter.

And more.

One o'clock?

One o'clock it is.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Turn on the lights, please.

Premier Roshkoff,
I understand your concern.

But I can assure you that the
Kingdom of Bahkan can prove nothing.

I trust not.

It would be very embarrassing
if they did.

An embarrassment that would have
severe repercussions.

Do I make myself clear, Stravos?

Perfectly, premier.

- Yes.
- Mr. Zagar to see you.

Show him in.

Have you completed
the inspection already, Mr. Zagar?

Yes.

At least, to my satisfaction.

Yours?
What about Baron Rakozny's?

We will see.

It amazes me that Baron Rakozny

would enlist the aid of a man like you
to advise him.

- A man like me?
- Yes, counterfeiter.

Can you think of anyone
who would be better qualified

to detect counterfeit money?

- What do you mean?
- You know what I mean.

But they are good.
In fact, excellent.

- They are not counterfeit.
- They are.

But they will pass the inspection
of the World Monetary Commission.

However, they will not bring about
a monetary crisis in Bahkan.

- Why not?
- Because you have been misled

about the amount of gold the
Bahkan government has in reserve.

It has 200 million, not one.

I do not believe you.

Why should I lie?

Lgor, now that you are forewarned,

all you have to do is print
another hundred million drona.

It is not that simple.

The baron has the authority

to withdraw the entire 200 million
in gold from the Bahkan treasury.

If necessary.

Why are you being so helpful,
Mr. Zagar?

What do you want?

My needs are very simple.

I live a modest life.

Say, 3 million drona in gold.

Of course, in order to pay me,

you would have to induce the baron
to exchange

the rest of Bahkan's gold reserve
for another hundred million drona

without your government
knowing about it.

- A secret exchange?
- Exactly.

One which would take place
somewhere along the border

after the official exchange.

The idea is preposterous.
It would never work.

Besides, I know of no way to blackmail
Baron Rakozny.

Do you?

No, no.

But I am sure that
the Federated People's Republic

has a complete dossier

on every high-ranking official
in the Bahkan government,

and that somewhere
in the baron's file,

there must be
something you could use.

Think about it.

- Yes, minister?
- Bring me Baron Rakozny's file.

I can see now
why this café is a legend.

I wonder how many
of these people are married.

Most of them are,
but not to each other.

Mr. Zagar is apparently quite
a ladies' man.

- Yes.
- I don't understand it.

- Oh, I think he's terribly attractive.
- Really?

Well... Well, I mean...

Well, I can understand why
women find him attractive.

Even though he's a criminal?

But you do not think
of counterfeiters as criminals.

They seem more like artists.

There's something so romantic
about the way they...

Please, get me out of here.
He mustn't see me.

This way.

Every worker is entitled
to a lunch break, baron.

Yes, I see.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, how could you,

after I have expressly forbidden you
to come here?

Baron, I can explain. It's my fault.

- You see, I...
- That's not true.

I asked Minister Stravos
to bring me here.

- Yes, I can believe that.
- Baron...

I know my wife
better than she thinks I do.

- Bruno.
- Don't make a scene, Elizabeth.

You're despicable, Bruno.

We will discuss that and your behaviour
back at the hotel. Now come.

You are making a spectacle, Elizabeth.
Do not forget you are a Rakozny.

Oh, how I wish I could forget.

Well, this is a surprise.

Wait in the car, please.

I would suggest you also leave,
Mr. Zagar, and finish your inspection.

Of course, baron, after
I have said goodbye to my friends.

Mr. Zagar, I would like to talk
with you in my office

about what we discussed
this morning.

I have never read such a dreary
compendium of rectitude in my life.

This man is so virtuous,
he is absolutely inhuman.

Well, if you found nothing
in the baron's dossier,

what makes you believe
you can still blackmail him?

Through his wife, the baroness.

- I don't understand.
- Oh, yes, you do.

You're a very perceptive man.

You have seen the way the baroness
looks at you?

All you have to do is invite her
for a late supper at the Café Intime,

this evening,
in one of their private dining rooms.

That is all I have to do?

I will record
the entire rendezvous on film.

Which you will then show to the baron,
who will then kill me.

- He's a very proud man.
- Exactly.

The baron is so proud
of the name Rakozny

that he will do everything to protect
it from public scandal and shame.

And there will also be
some extra gold for you,

perhaps an additional
quarter million.

I thought more like a half.

A half a million?
Oh, that is getting steep.

No, no, no.
I mean half of the hundred million.

A full partnership.

No, you can't be serious.

I am very serious when it comes
to risking my life.

I don't know
what I would do without it.

Well, Igor,

shall I call the baroness
or the baron?

Foreign currency exchange.

Box 9-14.

- Do you have a match?
- Yes, I think so.

- Just keep them.
- Thank you.

Let me pour you
another glass of wine.

I really don't think I should.

If Bruno ever found out that I...

Please, I want to hear no more talk
about the baron.

- But...
- Please?

To us.

But we hardly know each other.

That is a mistake
which can easily be corrected.

Do you think this is proper?

With a beautiful woman,
what could be more proper?

We really shouldn't.

Your voice tells me no.

But your eyes say yes.

I wonder which I should believe.

Oh, Yuri.

Yuri.

You know my terms, baron.

Either you release
the extra hundred million in gold,

or the film that you just saw
will become public property.

Decency, my...

Have you no decency?

No. Only a problem,
one which you can solve.

Well, baron?

The House of Rakozny
dates from the 14th century

without a breath of scandal.

Now, to protect it,
you would ask me to become a thief

and a traitor to my country.

We all have to make
little compromises.

- I need time to think.
- No, I want your answer now.

Well?

When and where do you propose
this secret exchange to take place?

At the border crossing west
of Zinograd, 5:00 tomorrow afternoon.

The gold will be there.

Congratulations, Igor.

I am going to arrange
with the government printing office

to send over two of their best men
in the morning

to start printing up the extra drona.

- They might talk.
- No, no.

I will take care of them the same way
that I took care of the first two.

That could look suspicious.

Two more government printers missing
so soon after the first two disappear.

If the premier heard of it,
he might begin to suspect.

- There is no alternative.
- Yes, there is.

Two former... colleagues of mine,
excellent men,

they just happen to be visiting
in the Federated People's Republic

at the moment.

I see.

You had this whole thing planned
before you left Bahkan, didn't you?

No, no. No.

What time shall I have my men here
in the morning?

Eight tomorrow morning,

ready to work as soon as
I get the plates from the vault.

Yes.

What is that?

Ink and cleaning solvent.

Hello, this is the minister.
Turn off the sound, please.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, minister.

- Your men are here?
- Ready and waiting.

- How much have you told them?
- Everything.

They are friends.
Completely reliable.

And what about the guard outside?

Reliable also.

Please, this printing has to be done
by 2:00 this afternoon

for shipment to Zinograd.

- You have everything you need?
- Yes, Your Excellency.

Then get to work.

Are you staying, minister?

These plates never go out of my sight,
except when they are in the vault.

Perfect.

Please be seated, gentlemen.
I will tell the minister you are here.

Yes?

Oh, I'll be right there.

Rakozny and Sir Malcolm Forrester

of the World Monetary Commission
have arrived.

Guard,
put this in the room next door

and bring out the currency
that's already there.

Minister, why waste time,

moving this into the other room,
shifting around like this?

Why not use this currency upstairs
and send the other to Zinograd?

After all, it's all the same.

Take this currency up to my office

and load the other currency
onto the truck to Zinograd.

Give me the plates.

Take this to the minister's office.

Get me the vault office.

Minister, a call for you.

Yes?

What?

Oh, premier,
how nice to see you again.

- Sir Malcolm.
- This is the Baron Rakozny.

- Baron.
- Premier Roshkoff.

Has the other currency
been sent to my office?

Yes, minister, a few minutes ago.

- Premier Roshkoff.
- Igor.

I was not informed
that you would attend, premier.

No, I changed my plans
at the last moment.

Sir Malcolm, shall we proceed?

But the baron's man, Yuri Zagar,
has already inspected the money.

Must we have another examination?

I am sorry, but the rules
of the World Monetary Commission

require that I at least make
a cursory inspection.

It's mere formality.
I am sure you understand.

- That's odd.
- What is, Sir Malcolm?

I never knew that King Boris had
acquired a blemish on his left cheek.

Are you saying they are counterfeit?

I'm afraid so.

I'm afraid there
will have to be an investigation.

I assure you, Sir Malcolm,

that neither my government
nor myself know anything about this.

Oh, I'm sure
there was no plot to defraud.

But there will have to be
an investigation.

A mere formality.
I hope you understand.

Of course, of course.

I myself will conduct an investigation
in this matter.

If you will excuse me,

I will see that the gold is ordered back
to the Bahkan treasury.

Gentlemen.

I was thinking of having a little late
lunch with the ambassador, premier.

Perhaps you'd care to join us.

Some other time, Sir Malcolm.

You see, I have some very important
business to attend to.

I understand. Goodbye, minister.

Premier, I can explain.

Please, Stravos, I do not want to listen
to any lies you just thought up.

But, premier...

I have only one simple request
to ask of you.

But I can explain everything.

You must listen.

Give me a chance.
