00:00Time is the enemy.
00:24It wounds you with its days.
00:28Yes, you have run out of time.
00:30But that is all.
00:32And we can give that back to you.
00:35Do you remember the power you had?
00:37It was in you.
00:38When I was a little girl and I learned that you were to go
00:42into a room, I would race to get to that room first.
00:48How I long to take your hands in and walk with you through
00:53the halls of power, to feel your terrible strength going
00:59from you into me.
01:03And it shall be.
01:23I have no purpose to fight.
01:40I remember when they turned out Winston Churchill.
01:44I thought, how dare they do this, how dare they?
01:50And then my turn came.
01:54Take my hand, Norman, and let me lead you back to greatness.
02:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
03:20There is no change.
03:35There is no change.
03:36What do you think?
03:37We are science fiction?
03:39We are like those hormone creams you advertise in the magazines, smear on, smear off, and
03:43underneath is a new face?
03:44I thought it would be finished.
03:46It is begun.
03:48The whole metabolism of the body is in a new order.
03:52We don't do this.
03:53The body does it by itself, cell by cell.
04:12Go in and help Professor Gritsky with Sir Norman.
04:14Yes, ma'am.
06:07Good morning.
06:12Your friend having a little trouble?
06:16A little enough. He's dead.
06:19That's very unusual.
06:2173% of all accidents happen in the home.
06:24Very rarely do you find somebody who dies in a wine vat.
06:28I think his heart gave out.
06:30Sheer terror. Killed him.
06:33Jordine is the name. J-O-R-D-I-N.
06:37Insurance game. In a way.
06:40Most insurance men sell you something to settle the damages after something happens.
06:45My specialty is prevention.
06:49Who carries your papers?
06:51Oh, it goes this way and that.
06:53Sometimes I carry my own paper and sometimes I get somebody to underwrite me.
07:00Clutch, for example?
07:02Ah, the world is full of birds.
07:06I don't suppose you would mind answering a couple of questions, would you, Mr. Solo?
07:10Actually, Mr. Jordine, I answer questions much better when I'm not standing at the bottom of a wine vat.
07:21Next time, you'll play dead and I'll make up the reasons why.
07:26Quiet, please.
07:37And now, if you don't mind, take off your jacket, please.
07:45Just drop it anywhere.
07:48And the gun.
07:50I've already been relieved of that.
07:53The holster, then.
07:56And one shoe. Either one.
08:22Pull the ladder up, Jack.
08:31I have to remember this one shoe bit. It's very good.
08:35It throws you just enough off balance to slow you down a bit.
08:38Gives me a little edge.
08:45Sit down, please.
08:52Sit on your...
08:56Sit on your hands.
09:01Palms up, if you don't mind.
09:09Makes it harder to get up again, doesn't it?
09:13That's my impression.
09:16I don't mean to complain. You've been very nice and all that, but it is a little cold in here.
09:24Cold in here.
09:41Now, we can get down to cases, review the data, bring everything up to date, and go on from there.
09:49Now, we...
09:52We have a biochemist named Lancer, who disappears for a while.
09:58And the next time we see him, he calls himself Bainbridge, and appears to be 30 years younger.
10:03Is appearance reality? Is Bainbridge really Lancer?
10:08Now we look and another biochemist disappears.
10:11A former student, an associate of Lancer's, called Professor Alexander Gritsky.
10:18What is Uncle Agent Napoleon Solow's interest in all this?
10:22Now Uncle sends another agent, Ilya Kuryakin, to the London Soho.
10:27Kuryakin follows Katz.
10:30Questions. Why does Kuryakin...
10:33Lazarus.
10:36I beg pardon?
10:38Lazarus, the chap who rose from the dead.
10:42Mr. Jordan!
10:44Look out, Napoleon!
10:49Oh, I thought you had a little more style than to try an old trick like that.
10:53I don't know what you mean.
10:55Well, money clip, I'm surprised at you.
10:57It is also a bomb.
10:59Really?
11:00Really.
11:02Really?
11:06Really.
11:14Life, gentlemen, is rarely plausible.
11:17It seems now that there exists an effective process of rejuvenation.
11:22A rejuvenation?
11:24Well, I'm not a psychic.
11:27I'm a psychologist.
11:30It seems now there exists an effective process of rejuvenation.
11:37Well, see for yourself.
11:39It's for Norman Swickard.
11:41Yeah.
11:43These pictures were taken a few days ago,
11:45when he announced his return to political life.
11:48So the Lancer-Gritzky process is working.
11:52It seems to make all of our trouble worthwhile after all, doesn't it?
11:56Yeah, almost.
11:59Well, the prospect of Thrush members being able to rejuvenate themselves
12:02isn't very comforting.
12:04Oh, gentlemen, you've got to search out Dr. Gritzky and his miraculous process
12:08before Thrush does.
12:11Now that Thrush is definitely in the picture,
12:14perhaps Sir Norman will be more cooperative.
12:17I'm not sure we'll get much cooperation from Norman Swickard.
12:20No, neither am I.
12:23But I do know that for all his extraordinary political cunning and ambition,
12:28he's basically a decent man.
12:30I suggest you begin your research with him.
12:45Oh, I don't know what to say there, Sir Norman.
12:50That's the other side of the United States.
13:07Hello, St. Charles.
13:20How are you?
13:23Good to see you all again.
13:26How are you?
13:28My, for heaven's sake!
13:31It's wonderful.
13:33It's such a pleasure to see you all again.
13:42Wonderful.
13:44Wings.
13:54Excuse me for one moment.
14:08Gentlemen.
14:10I must say, Sir Norman, you look a good deal younger than the last time we met.
14:13So it appears.
14:15We shall have to have your secret, Sir.
14:19What secret?
14:21Whether or not you describe it as a miracle,
14:24a genuine process of rejuvenation does exist, doesn't it?
14:28Does it?
14:30Yes. Developed by Dr. Lancer and Professor Alexander Gritsky.
14:36Go on.
14:38And since Dr. Lancer is dead,
14:40the power of the process remains with Professor Gritsky.
14:44A fair deduction.
14:46Will you tell us where Professor Gritsky is, so we can protect him?
14:50From whom?
14:52There are probably thrush agents in the Byron Club right now,
14:55ready to snatch your secret and put it to their own use.
14:59Mr. Sorrow, you are laboring under a terrible misapprehension.
15:03The only secret in my possession is my marriage to Madame de Sala.
15:07And that will only be a secret until tomorrow,
15:09when it is announced in all the papers.
15:11Sir Norman, a truly effective process of rejuvenation is no joking matter.
15:15I agree. But until one has been discovered,
15:18I can only recommend the one I have tried.
15:20Marriage to the right woman.
15:22What you see in me is only a reflection of what my wife sees.
15:27And now, if you'll excuse me,
15:29I have a great number of people waiting for me outside.
15:33Good day, gentlemen.
15:37I must say, Sir Norman, is everything these wicked legends as he is?
15:41Right. Where do we go from here?
15:43Well, what if we were thrush? What do we want?
15:46Do we want Sir Norman, or do we want... want what?
16:04I think our friends from thrush have been eavesdropping.
16:08Well, it won't be the first time.
16:13Let's see what kind of an earache we can give them.
16:19Too late, my friends. Too late.
16:22Shuttle ball.
16:43All right, spread out. Bring the stretcher.
17:14Time to go.
17:16In one moment.
17:43Shhh!
18:13Shhh!
18:44Come on.
19:05Have you been introduced?
19:13Come on.
19:43Come on.
19:58What is it, Norman? You seem so preoccupied.
20:01The secret of my rejuvenation is being sought by others.
20:05Something called thrush.
20:07It'd be disaster if they got hold of it.
20:10He's the only one that knows the formula, and they will never find him.
20:14I'd feel better if I knew his whereabouts.
20:17It is safer if only one of us knows.
20:23There's a draft here somewhere.
20:27When did the brown spots appear?
20:30I noticed them this morning.
20:33Well, it's all precisely on schedule.
20:36Professor Gridsky will be here in the morning.
20:39In other words, I'm growing old again.
20:45But I told you, Professor Gridsky will be here in the morning to give you a treatment.
20:52You never told me.
20:55You mean I'm to receive treatments once a month?
20:59Is that so terrible?
21:02You lied to me!
21:03I didn't. I just didn't tell you everything.
21:06Don't you trust me?
21:09I love you, Norman. I love you deeply.
21:11Do you?
21:14Norman, please do not withdraw yourself from me.
21:16How can I? How can I?
21:19I'm bound to you closer than if by chains.
21:23How many women have lived a prisoner of some man?
21:27A father, a husband, or a lover?
21:30Have you ever thought of it, Norman?
21:33I always thought that you at least were free to do what you wished with your life.
21:38Was I? I would have gone into politics.
21:41But I was not allowed. I was a female.
21:45So you bought me a little millinery shop to keep me out of mischief.
21:50Well, they say there's no fool like an old fool.
21:55And I was fool enough to delude myself into believing that you could love me.
22:01But I do love you.
22:04No, my dear, there's no love in you. Only a love of power.
22:12That's why you married me.
22:17This is a man's world, Norman.
22:20Is there any other way open to a woman?
22:25How long would it take supposing Gritsky does not come?
22:30He will come. He will be here in the morning.
22:39I love you, Norman.
22:42You mean you own me.
22:59I love you.
23:24Napoleon Zollo and Ilya Kiryakin responding.
23:27What further developments, Mr. Zollo?
23:29It's very quiet here, sir. Mrs. Swickard has made two calls to Paris this morning.
23:34The second one was answered by the police in her office.
23:36So she knows about the murder and the kidnapping.
23:38Anything on your end?
23:39We picked up the ambulance they used to carry Gritsky.
23:43They left it at a small private airport and then continued on with Gritsky by plane.
23:49That's the last we know of them to now.
23:52So stay with it, Mr. Zollo. You and Mr. Kiryakin.
23:55They must certainly try to contact Mrs. Swickard.
23:58Yes, sir. We shall be there, sir.
24:00Let's hope so, Mr. Zollo.
24:09Hello?
24:10I'd like to speak to the lady of the house.
24:13Yes, I'm listening.
24:14Jordine is the name. J-O-R-D-I-N.
24:18Insurance with a difference.
24:20We prevent sickness or accident before it happens.
24:24Yes?
24:25We recently acquired a client who may need some prevention
24:29by the name of Alexander Gritsky.
24:33I am listening very carefully.
24:35Yes, well, in view of the present condition of your husband,
24:39we thought we might kill two birds with one stone.
24:42Well, I'd like to get together with you and discuss the whole package.
24:46Why don't you get into your car and take a little drive
24:50by way of Marsh Ealing.
24:52Just go straight on through the village and see what happens after that.
25:16Good morning, Miss Sweet.
25:22Good morning.
25:41What do you want with him?
25:42Now, now, just be quiet.
25:43Are you hard to take your hands off of him?
25:45I'm just trying to awaken him.
25:46Well, you'll have no luck with it, I can promise you that.
25:49Napoleon is asleep with a heavy sedation,
25:51so you can spare yourself the effort and keep your hands off of him.
26:01Napoleon's over.
26:02Napoleon, Lady Swickert's car is approaching.
26:05All right, I'll talk to you later, earlier.
26:20Excuse me.
26:23You've crumpled my fender.
26:26Will you please get your car out of our way?
26:29You've crumpled my fender.
26:30Will you please move that car?
26:32Yes, ma'am.
26:33Lady Swickert, I presume?
26:35Yes, it is, and I'm willing to concede absolutely that it is our fault.
26:39Now, will you please let us get on?
26:41The insurance.
26:42Do you have a pencil?
26:45You're my insurance.
26:47Formalities, you know.
26:49Would you mind if I, uh, something to lean on?
26:54I'll damage the paint.
26:55Fleeton, will you please hurry?
26:57Yes, ma'am.
27:11Ma'am?
27:12Yes?
27:13Here's the insurance.
27:15Hand open.
27:17It's open.
27:43Good morning.
28:13Was that really necessary?
28:27Oh, he isn't dead.
28:28I just put him to sleep with a tranquilizing charge.
28:31Mind you, I'll have to have him killed if I can't come to an agreement with you.
28:34As you did with Olga.
28:36Ah, self-defense there.
28:38I think we should talk very directly.
28:40Yes.
28:44Last night, before we took Professor Gritsky, you had power.
28:54Now you don't.
28:55If you want us to, we'll give it back to you.
28:58Who is your we?
29:00Thrush.
29:01And what do you require of me?
29:04Oh, simply that from time to time, as you guide your husband through the treacherous paths of political decision,
29:11you allow yourself to be guided by us.
29:16I see.
29:25Why is there no sound of her?
29:28She's thinking.
29:31Very well.
29:32I shall do it for my husband.
29:35Lucky man.
29:42I'm glad he is asleep and cannot hear that.
29:45Well, if he had heard it, he would have had to believe it.
29:50And where would he find the wanting to live in that case?
29:53Man's fate, my dear.
29:55You must take the bitter with the sweet.
30:04You're not as wise as you think.
30:06You're not wise at all.
30:08You're nothing but a young man without any feeling.
30:12Mr. Solo, do not force him to know.
30:17It would be an unkindness such as you could never imagine.
30:20Oh, last night he was so content, looking forward to this evening.
30:27What's happening this evening?
30:28Oh, there is to be a meeting with a great many of the most important political men.
30:33He was working on his speech.
30:35He read me parts of it from time to time.
30:38Oh, he is a spellbinder, that one.
30:41Such joy he had last night.
30:48Overseas relay. Channel D. Napoleon Solo.
30:52Yes, come in, Mr. Solo.
30:55May I assume, sir, that you know Sir Norman Swickard very well?
30:59Since before you were born, Mr. Solo.
31:02I think you should come to England tonight and talk to him personally.
31:05I think you should come to England tonight and talk to him personally.
31:08I have it on good authority that...
31:12I'm a very young man and not wise enough.
31:16That there's going to be a decisive meeting tonight at Sir Norman's house.
31:20Oh, well, all right, I can just make it.
31:24All right, Mr. Solo, I'll join you there tonight.
31:36Get his medicine. It's on the table over there.
31:42No, no, Mr. Solo.
31:45Back to the old wine press for you, I'm afraid.
32:06Come on, Professor, we haven't got all day.
32:10Enormous strains on the heart take place in this process.
32:13This man is in no condition to undergo a treatment now.
32:16His pulse is racing, his systolic pressure is dangerously high.
32:19It is only the excitement.
32:22I do not want to see him in this state.
32:25I do not want to see him in this state.
32:28I do not want to see him in this state.
32:30I do not want to see him in this state.
32:32I do not want to see him in this state.
32:35I will not kill anyone for anybody.
32:38I am a scientist. I do what is the right thing to do.
32:42Be careful, Professor.
32:44With a small additional effort, it should be possible to replace you with a computer.
32:49This isn't leading us anywhere.
32:51Why don't you let me talk to the good professor alone?
32:55After all, it's my life he's worried about.
32:58I'm certain I can persuade him of the absolute necessity of going through with it.
33:05Very well, but don't be too long.
33:14Stay here and keep an eye on things.
33:17I am in a situation that does not allow consideration of fragility.
33:23You do not understand what is involved here.
33:29You do not understand what is involved, Sir Norman.
33:31We reverse all the metabolic processes at an accelerated rate.
33:35We go too fast, you end up as a boy.
33:38A dead boy.
33:40All I need is a few more hours of strength to do what has to be done.
33:47It is a great risk, Sir Norman.
33:52Great causes require great risks when in doubt.
33:57Press on, my friend. Press on.
34:02Excelsior.
34:05There is no one to help us but ourselves.
34:31Ladies and gentlemen.
34:58I'm Alexander Waverly.
34:59I'm an old friend of Sir Norman's.
35:02I happen to be in London. I felt I couldn't leave without paying my respects.
35:05I'm sure Sir Norman will be delighted.
35:08Mr. Jordine will take care of you. Mr...
35:11Waverly.
35:12Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm very bad at remembering new names.
35:15Would you excuse me, please?
35:19Gentlemen, shall we go in?
35:24Will you please come with me, Mr. Waverly?
35:27So you're Jordine.
35:29Your humble servant, Sir.
35:31Young man, if you had half the manners you pretend to have,
35:34you'd have first allowed me to get rid of my coat and things.
35:38Then you would have pointed your gun at me.
35:41A nice point, Sir. My apologies.
35:44With regard to your apologies, you left me no umbrella.
35:47What makes you think it's so innocent as it seems?
35:51Anything can be built into an umbrella.
35:57Once more I stand corrected.
36:00And once more I apologize.
36:03Yes, apologies, apologies.
36:06But when one has good manners, there's no need to apologize.
36:10Where is Sir Norman?
36:12It may be a little while before he can see you.
36:16Meantime, let me show you where you can wait.
36:20Mr. Turlough, there you are.
36:25A young lady with you, of course.
36:29I'm sweet, Mr. Waverly.
36:32How do you do, Sir?
36:34I'm sweet.
36:36What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
36:39I'm not a nice girl, Sir.
36:41I'm not a nice girl.
36:43I'm not a nice girl.
36:45I'm not a nice girl.
36:46What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
36:49I'm afraid this trip wasn't necessary.
36:52I would have let you know sooner, but they cut off my mailing privileges.
36:56Mr. Turlough, I wouldn't have missed this excursion for anything.
36:59However, I must be back in New York by tomorrow noon, latest.
37:03So I'm afraid we're going to be somewhat pressed.
37:10No pun intended.
37:17I still think I should not have allowed you to talk me into this, Sir Norman.
37:21I do not like the way your heart beats.
37:23I feel fine.
37:25This is a great thing you've discovered, Ewan Lancer.
37:28The dream of the age is realized.
37:31A fountain of youth.
37:33What a temptation to a man fighting the onset of age.
37:37Is that so wrong?
37:40Yes, it is.
37:42It's a terrible thing when a dream becomes a nightmare.
37:47I've lived with it for some time now.
37:50I know what it's done to me.
37:52It's made me a helpless puppet in the hands of those who control the process.
37:58But, Sir Norman, they do not have the formula.
38:01It is only I who possess the secret.
38:03How long do you suppose it will be before they force you to disclose it?
38:10I have thought of this many times, Sir Norman.
38:12I am afraid it is too late now.
38:27Not if we bury the secret right here and now.
38:30Then you'll have to bury...
38:37You'll have to bury me with the secret.
38:41That is the hardest part of it.
38:51And now that I understand you better,
38:54let me remind you of the consequences of any betrayal.
38:59I'm sorry, Professor, but you do understand, don't you?
39:04You'll have all the time in the world for explanation.
39:06Right now you have to get changed.
39:08You have a room full of guests waiting for you.
39:13Goodbye, Professor.
39:15I hope you know what has to be done.
39:36Goodbye.
39:54We never did settle the matter of my broken fender with Sir Norman,
39:58so would you mind opening the gates like a good fellow?
40:00No visitors tonight.
40:01Some other time, perhaps.
40:32I hope I don't embarrass you.
40:35It's not my habit to disrobe in public,
40:38but this time I'm afraid there's no help for it.
40:42You can open your eyes again now.
40:45Research and development are rather proud of this device.
40:48They produce it in three forms.
40:51Explosion.
40:53Ultrasonic.
40:55And this is an incendiary device of sorts.
40:58And this is an incendiary device of some sort, I believe.
41:05Mr. Solo will do the honors.
41:28Well, if you and I are wise like Dot's wife, we'd better not look.
41:59John.
42:01My contention is that the advantage to a man
42:04imprisoned in a closed container of this kind,
42:07it affords him ample privacy to contrive his escape.
42:11Oh, ladies first.
42:13Once one is in a closed container,
42:16one
42:42Even if he has the means at hand,
42:45he is forced to eliminate high explosive as a means of escape.
42:50Unless he wants to blow himself up...
42:53or in.
42:55This would actually be...
42:58to escape by blowing himself in.
43:01Yes?
43:13Where's your friend?
43:18Ah, Mr. Wrighton, glad you came.
43:21Here, you take this. I don't want it.
43:23Now, Mr. Solo, if you and your associate here...
43:26will search out Dr. Grisky,
43:28Miss Sweet and I will join the others in the house.
43:31Mr. Wrighton.
43:33Mr. Wrighton.
43:35Mr. Wrighton.
43:37Mr. Wrighton.
43:39Mr. Wrighton.
43:41We'll meet in the house.
43:43All right, dear.
43:55Good luck, darling.
43:57Good evening, gentlemen.
44:03You all know me, you know my reputation for punctuality.
44:07I'm late tonight, but if I'm to look good at my age,
44:10the preparation takes a little longer.
44:40I'll be back.
45:04We are gathered in this room here tonight...
45:06to discuss the future, my future.
45:10My sudden and miraculous return to strength and vigor...
45:14is only an illusion.
45:16But even an illusion can be a sinister weapon...
45:20in the hands of the enemy.
45:22Think of the consequences, the riots, the panic in the streets.
45:28The thought of being left alone with death could upturn the world.
45:34A few minutes ago...
45:36I tried to kill a gentle, kind old man...
45:40to prevent him from being made use of by the enemy.
45:44Unfortunately, I waited too long to pull the trigger.
45:47Don't you make the same mistake.
45:49You must destroy...
45:51You must destroy...
46:05You didn't expect this, did you, Norman?
46:09Neither did I.
46:12The wounds of time are never healed.
46:16They just grow old with time itself.
46:41Professor Gritsky.
46:50Here are his notes.
46:55Here's something.
47:12It's like he had an overdose of his own medicine.
47:17Good thing for all of us at one time or another.
47:20I'll have the professor's notebook, Mr. Kuriakin.
47:22Toss it over here.
47:24Carefully.
47:30Jodine.
47:32Why don't you give it up?
47:33Why should I?
47:35I have the notes. We'll duplicate the process.
47:38And after I destroy the machine,
47:40I will have sole possession of the late Dr. Gritsky's secret.
47:50I wouldn't do that if I were you.
47:53I'll be with you in just a minute.
48:08The doctor booby-trapped the machine.
48:10He said so in his notes.
48:12Aye, well, thanks for letting me know that.
48:15Well, at least he won't have to worry about getting any older.
48:25No luck, gentlemen?
48:27No, it's even better than I thought.
48:29I'm afraid so.
48:31I'm afraid so.
48:33I'm afraid so.
48:35I'm afraid so.
48:37Gentlemen, now it's even beyond the ability of the computers.
48:39They are unable to decipher the formula.
48:43Strange.
48:45Locked in this book is the secret of immortality, perhaps.
48:50Why do scientists always insist on keeping their notes in code?
48:54Well, they were able to decipher the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
48:57in a little less than 300 years.
48:59That should offer us some hope.
49:02I'm afraid, gentlemen,
49:04in my position and in my time of life,
49:07that's much too long to wait.
49:34I'm afraid so.
