00:00It's official, political exile Joseph Elias has returned to his native land, and should
00:12be stepping down from the plane as soon as he finishes an onboard interview.
00:16We've been advised that Mr. Elias will then give a statement to the media.
00:20Speculation is that President for Life, Colonel Gregory Usher, has allowed the opposition
00:25leader Elias to return from exile in response to pressure the United States has been applying.
00:32Pressure which culminated yesterday with the indictment of Colonel Usher by a U.S. federal
00:36court on charges of illegal drug trafficking.
00:40The door is open.
00:45It's just a matter of time now before Joseph Elias emerges.
00:48It's a real pleasure to be back home again.
01:05Well, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on this.
01:10The soldiers are firing in the air!
01:13People are dying!
01:14Oh my God!
01:15He's been shot!
01:16Joseph Elias has been shot!
01:17They've killed him!
01:18He just got off the plane.
01:19Joseph Elias has been assassinated!
01:20People are on the ground!
01:21And the soldiers are...
01:22No, no, they're driving away!
01:23The people who shot Elias are driving away!

04:18But all attempts for a democratic overthrow of the government have failed, as Usher maintains
04:23a firm grasp on power with the help of his chief of secret police, Major Duval, who several
04:29days ago organized the murder of Usher's only political opponent.
04:33Your mission, Jim, if you choose to accept it, is to neutralize Major Duval and to lure
04:39Colonel Usher out of his compound and onto U.S. controlled soil where he may be arrested.
04:45As always, should you or any of your I.M. force be caught or killed, the secretary will
04:50disavow any knowledge of your actions.
04:53This disk will self-destruct in five seconds.
04:56Good luck, Jim.
04:57I.S. Taggart was arrested yesterday by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
05:16In the process, they confiscated 2,055-gallon drums of ethyl ether that Taggart was about
05:22to deal to Colonel Usher.
05:24For processing of cocaine?
05:26That's right.
05:27Now, the news of Taggart's arrest has been kept from the press.
05:30How long can they hold him?
05:32Long enough for you to pose as Taggart.
05:33The colonel expects you tomorrow.
05:38The island of St. Luke, a small atoll 50 miles off the coast of Colonel Gregory Usher's country.
05:46The man who owns it has agreed to loan it to us for the next few days.
05:51Is it part of Usher's territory?
05:53No.
05:54The island enjoys status as an American protectorate, which means that U.S. law applies.
05:59If everything goes properly, this is where Usher will be arrested.
06:03But he'd be crazy to go to a U.S. island.
06:04Well, he would if he knew where he was.
06:07But there are dozens of islands similar to this one in international waters.
06:14Take a good look at the house and the beach and the boats.
06:17We're going to duplicate those on an island not under U.S. jurisdiction and where Usher
06:22will feel it's safe to go.
06:24Father?
06:25Father, help me.
06:32It's really coming along.
06:33Switching to the new lenses and the Argon laser, it's really helped the definition.
06:38Who was that?
06:40That was a hologram of the latest member of our team, Karen Taylor.
06:47He's only 15 years old, but his father has been with us for a number of years.
06:51He has an excellent academic record.
06:53He's an all-around natural athlete.
06:55But he's just a kid.
06:58Exactly.
07:00Fifteen years ago, Colonel Usher's wife ran away from him.
07:05He claims she's the only woman he ever loved, but the fact is that he beat her, abused her.
07:09After her disappearance, there was a rumor that she had been pregnant.
07:13So ever since then, the colonel has spent a fortune trying to locate her and the child
07:18he's never known.
07:19So Kieran is our key.
07:22He is what it'll take to get the colonel out of his compound and onto that island.
07:36Colonel.
07:38Sir, I need more time to check out this American tagger.
07:42Time is money, Duvall.
07:50Colonel Usher, how the hell are you?
08:03Mr. Taggart, I presume.
08:05This is Major Duvall, head of my security.
08:08My associate, Mr. Jones.
08:10He's my head of security.
08:12Do you think you need a bodyguard here, Mr. Taggart?
08:15Well, I watched the evening news.
08:17And things like assassinations at airports make me kind of nervous.
08:24And that was politics, Mr. Taggart.
08:26This is business.
08:28We'll keep your associate's gun during your visit.
08:32Mr. Taggart, I watched the news too.
08:36You're a brave man to still be in the drug business after that car bombing incident last year.
08:42I hear it did substantial damage to your right arm.
08:59It was the left arm, Major.
09:13So I sell drugs.
09:15Americans buy drugs.
09:17But I'm the monster.
09:19I'm the one they indict.
09:21Well, they can indict me all they want.
09:24They'll never lay a hand on Colonel Usher.
09:26They can't touch me here.
09:32I've arranged a viewing of our operation, Mr. Taggart, for tomorrow morning.
09:36Fine.
09:37I think you'll be impressed.
09:39With your eater, we can increase our productivity by two tons a week.
09:44Well, then let's hope we can come to some sort of agreement.
10:07What's going on?
10:08Everything is under control.
10:10The Colonel occasionally suffers from severe headaches.
10:15Maybe he should go to the hospital.
10:16No!
10:17If necessary, the hospital will come to Colonel Usher.
10:22A word of advice, Mr. Taggart.
10:24Don't interpret what you see here as a sign of weakness.
10:27Last man to do that wound up face down on an airport runway.
10:39Come on.
10:57Get in there.
10:58I'm pouring in.
11:00Hold it, hold it.
11:01Hold it.
11:07Come on.
11:31Come on.
11:32Come on.
11:33Come on.
12:00She may look like a turkey,
12:02but she flies like an eagle.
12:03As long as it'll do the job.
12:05Oh, she'll do the job.
12:06Look, I just made a run over the U.S. island.
12:10When the roof's on this house, you won't be able to tell them apart.
12:13Let's hope Colonel Usher feels the same.
12:15How's our newest team member doing?
12:17Karen! Oh, he's fine.
12:19He's out there with Casey right now.
12:24Karen, keep calm.
12:26I just want you to breathe to your regulator just like you breathe normally on land.
12:30And relax.
12:32I'll get the hang of it.
12:33Maybe we should call it a day, huh?
12:35No. Let's go again.
12:38Sure?
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:40Okay.
13:02Come on.
13:12Father!
13:18Well, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Taggart, it's been a long day.
13:23Oh, but it's early, Colonel.
13:25May I remind you what the Emperor Napoleon said about Sleeping House?
13:28I'm sure it will be fascinating.
13:31He said six hours for the man, seven for the woman, and eight for the fool.
13:38Are you suggesting I might be a fool, Mr. Taggart?
13:42Oh, perish the thought, Colonel.
13:45But it's kind of early, and we have a lot of business to do.
14:01Good night.
14:32Good night.
14:47Just a few more minutes and we can finish all our business, Colonel.
14:56American double eagle, twenty dollar gold coins.
14:59Each one was over forty thousand dollars.
15:02Why do I get the feeling I'm supposed to be learning a lesson here?
15:05It took over a hundred years for these coins to reach that value.
15:09I don't see why you can't wait a few hours before we do business.
15:15Now I'm tired. Good night.
15:19Good night.
15:29Good night.
15:59Good night.
16:16Father?
16:18Who is that?
16:26Who's there?
16:29Who's there?
16:59Who's there?
17:29Who's there?
17:43Well, I think it's about time we introduce Colonel Usher to his son.
17:59Father?
18:06Father?
18:09Father, we need you.
18:30In these sheds we have storage for our cocaine.
18:34We used to grow marijuana here.
18:37Fourteen hundred pounds of it would bring in three hundred thousand American dollars.
18:42The same weight in cocaine is worth twenty six million dollars.
18:46Now your production is cut in half. Now that's a big loss, Colonel.
18:49Yeah, a big loss.
18:52Bad enough when the Americans indicted me.
18:54Me, leader of a sovereign country,
18:56but that wasn't enough for them.
18:58They banned the export of ethyl ether to stop my production.
19:02No ethyl ether, no solvent for your cocaine kitchens.
19:05Correct.
19:06I can provide you with ether. It's going to cost you,
19:08but I can guarantee you a hundred barrels a month.
19:14Another headache?
19:15I'll be all right in a minute.
19:17These headaches, is that why the American doctor is here?
19:19What doctor?
19:20Quinn.
19:21Quinn?
19:22Quinn.
19:23Quinn.
19:24Quinn.
19:25Quinn.
19:26Quinn, some famous neurologist.
19:29I'm losing your newspaper here.
19:30I didn't send for him.
19:32Never heard of him.
19:38The newspapers say where this doctor of yours is staying.
19:55You're in are you sure you can handle this? Yeah, I can handle it
20:08I'll get the door
20:19Yes, thank you
20:22I
20:24Hate these affairs the anniversary of your third year in power. You couldn't disappoint your people
20:30Colonel congratulations on your anniversary, sir. You're an American. Yes
20:35This is major Duvall
20:37Major, I'm dr. Quinn. Dr. Frederick Quinn the neurologist that mr. Taggart was telling me about
20:43Yes, mr. Taggart contacted me. He said I might be of service to you
20:48He
20:51Told you of my headaches
20:53Yes
20:55But he didn't tell you about my dreams of a boy who beckons me and calls me father
21:02No
21:06It's very ironic dr. Quinn I
21:09Can buy and sell everybody in this party. I can have any one of them imprisoned or
21:16Executed with a knot of my head
21:18But for all my power and all my money, I can't get rid of this pain
21:25Father
21:37Who are you
21:45You
21:53Don't go father
22:00No, please
22:08There's a boy out there find him bring him back
22:15I
22:45Don't know
23:05The boy did you find the boy no Colonel, please try to calm yourself Colonel you've had a pretty bad turn
23:11No, I've had worse doctor. Why don't you stop patronizing me and tell me what's wrong with my body?
23:18Well, according to what major Duvall has told me about your medical history you suffer from an arteriovenous malfunction
23:25Now that's a congenital defect too many blood vessels around the surface of my brain. I've heard it all before
23:32But it does explain your headaches. Does it explain the boy? Dr. Quinn?
23:37Well, if the defect is in a specific area of the brain it could cause
23:44Hallucinations people I sell drugs to have hallucinations. I don't
23:50Why is it I get the impression you're holding something back from us doctor. I don't know what you mean
23:59You told me you were here to lecture at the University the problem is you haven't been invited to speak I've checked
24:08I
24:09Am here to treat a patient. It's about the boy. Isn't that the boy in my dreams? I
24:17Have been treating a boy
24:19It's the same symptoms
24:22He and his mother move around a great deal London, New York the south of France now here the boys in this country
24:28I'm not quite his mother guards their privacy with some extreme measures
24:34This time I was taken in secret to an island not far off your coast to treat the boy taken by whom
24:41Well a man named Kilpatrick. He flew me there in a seaplane
24:52Tell me doctor
24:54What is wrong with the boy?
24:58He's suffering from arteriovenous malfunction the same as you do
25:04Oh
25:13Mr. Kilpatrick, yeah, who wants to know major Duval head of security forces?
25:34I'm
25:40Sure you will accept Colonel usher's invitation to visit us. How can I refuse?
26:03You
26:05You
26:31Who are you father?
26:36I
26:38Do you call me that we need you mother needs you. She's sorry. She ran away
26:52Colonel sir, I had the pilot killed Patrick is in your office, sir
27:05Major Duval tells me you haven't been very cooperative
27:10Well, maybe it's his bedside manner. You see what I have to put up with. Oh
27:16Are we asking so much of you, mr. Kilpatrick
27:19Look, I was paid a lot of money to fly the doctor to that island and to keep my mouth shut
27:28So I'm sure as hell not gonna open it without some sort of counter offer
27:36You tell us where the island is and in return I let you live
27:49It's in international waters a small atoll in the weeping sisters archipelago
27:5930 miles due south the main island of st. Clair
28:06Reasonable man
28:09At the launch field I'm ready to shove off at dawn
28:14sir, I
28:15Thought you would send someone to the island. I want to go myself
28:18But have you forgotten the Americans the indictment as head of security? I strongly advise against it as head of the country
28:24I strongly advise you to do as I say
28:36I appreciate you coming along doctor. This is the island where you attended the boy. Yes. Yes. I remember the house and the boats
28:55I am told doctor
28:57That certain people can communicate
28:59Communicate telepathically with one another. Is that true? Well, there have been some studies done mostly involving twins
29:08Or fathers and sons. I didn't say that
29:13Doctors never say what you really mean
29:16The boy on that island what's his blood type
29:20may be negative
29:22The rarest blood type in the world my blood type also
29:27Do you believe in dreams doctor colonel, I believe in scientifically verifiable facts. I
29:34Don't know whether I believe in them either
29:36But I do know I'm connected with the boy on that island
29:41And I am not going to be at peace until I find out what that connection is
29:56Listen
30:26I
30:56I
31:09Give you guys a few tips on efficiency. You certainly need them
31:13Don't you know it's dangerous to have drums of ethyl ether lying around in the open?
31:18Your audacity truly amazes me. I don't have to take abuse from a flunky
31:27This telegram is from the real mr. Taggart
31:34The mr. Taggart who escaped from the United States authorities just this morning
31:56You
32:05Who are you
32:07You another doctor, I'm a friend of dr. Quinn's
32:13He said it would be all right for me to see you. Well, well here I am
32:22You're a fine-looking boy
32:27Do you like sports? Yeah
32:31when I went to regular school, I wanted to try out for all the teams, but
32:36but I have a condition so
32:39So they wouldn't let me and you didn't like that. I didn't like getting teased about it by the kids. I know
32:50You're searching for pirate treasure I
32:54I
32:55Collect coins. I collect coins, too
32:58What do you like?
33:00Bullion mint sets commemorative mom doesn't like me talking to strangers. Don't go please
33:10Does your father travel with you I
33:14Never knew my father
33:18Mom never talks about him
33:21Do you wonder what it was like
33:28Yeah
33:30sometimes
33:31Look, if she catches me talking to you, I'll get in trouble
33:36Colonel we just received an emergency call from Major Duvall. Your immediate return is requested
33:44Can I
33:45Come and see you again
33:47Maybe we must get back colonel
33:52Goodbye
34:17You
34:23Colonel Usher will be back shortly. We'll hold off your interrogation till then
34:27He likes to watch I'll be it for me to deny the colonel is fun while we're waiting. I
34:34Suggest we round up your friend
34:47I
35:17I
35:40Have security, huh? Oh, it's gonna take the head of security to get us out of this one
35:44Nope. I'll go and get the equipment.
35:47That's good work.
35:58Where'd you put Duval?
36:00Where no one's gonna find him for at least 24 hours.
36:03Hmm. Next time Asha sees that island, it's gotta be completely unrecognizable.
36:08So we have to try to keep him here long enough for our guys to remove all traces of the false house.
36:13If we can't delay him, Duval will.
36:16Well, he'll have the final contour measurements in just a few moments.
36:21When we're finished with this, I think we should stay out of sight for a while.
36:24Right.
36:26What the hell with doctors, Duval? Let's have a drink.
36:48Congratulate me, Duval. I'm a father, and it's a boy.
36:53I'm happy for you, Colonel.
36:56I should never have left him so suddenly. He'd be confused.
37:01What was so damned urgent you had to call me back here?
37:04The man calling himself Taggart was an imposter. I took the liberty and had him shot.
37:12A belated birthday present.
37:17Have them fuel the launch.
37:19Launch is going nowhere, sir.
37:22You called me back, Duval. You should never have called me back.
37:26In the last hour, we have received reports of United States naval vessels patrolling the area.
37:31So fix it, Duval. Isn't that what you get paid to do?
37:37I can take care of dissidents. I can handle imposters like Taggart.
37:43But don't ask me to take on Spruance-class destroyers. We'll lose.
37:52Ah!
38:13All right, come down to this.
38:15How much time?
38:16All right, all right.
38:18There we go.
38:19There.
38:20Pull it back.
38:22Come on.
38:23All right.
38:24Go.
38:30Go away.
38:39I said go away.
38:41Major Duval asked me to come and see how you were doing.
38:44You and Major Duval can mind your own business.
38:51It's her fault.
38:54I gave her everything.
38:58I loved her like no other woman.
39:03And what does she do in return?
39:05She runs off and takes my son with her.
39:08Why don't you let me give you something, Colonel? You need rest.
39:11I'll kill her for doing this to me.
39:15A boy needs a father.
39:18If you really believe that boy is your son, why don't you go back and get him?
39:23Why? Because apparently the whole United States Navy is looking for me.
39:30Yes, they're looking for you on the water.
39:33That's where you usually find the Navy.
39:37Then why don't you go by air?
39:49If you brought me here to make another deal, I think I'll pass.
39:54I didn't do so well on the last one.
39:56I said I'd let you live. I didn't say anything about letting you go.
40:02Until now.
40:04What do you want?
40:06I want you to fly me to the island where the boy was.
40:09What if I tell you to stuff it?
40:11Then whether I continue to let you live is now up for debate.
40:19Looks like you bought yourself a pilot, Colonel.
40:37Can't you do anything about the noise?
40:40Not unless you want to swim to that island of yours.
40:49There's an island down there. Looks like the one I was on.
40:53There are a lot of islands in this area, Colonel.
40:56I know where I'm going.
40:58But it looks like the one I was on.
41:00Is there a house on the island, Colonel? Or any boats?
41:08No.
41:09Well, just relax. Enjoy the ride. Trust me.
41:18I'll be back.
41:33Agent Devane.
41:34Sir!
41:35Sir!
41:48Sir!
41:49Sir!
42:18Sir!
42:29I've traveled under better conditions, Major Duvall.
42:43May I?
42:45I wanted to get a bang out of life.
43:15That's it, Mr. Kilpatrick. We're right over it.
43:18Sure is.
44:16There's something wrong.
44:19Be ready to take off, Mr. Kilpatrick.
44:22Look, Colonel.
45:16I'm on the wrong island.
45:19This is United States territory!
45:29Kilpatrick!
45:32Colonel Gregory Usher, I have a United States warrant for your arrest.
45:36Take him away.
45:38You have the right to remain silent.
45:40You give up this right...
45:47Nice work, Aaron.
45:50I'm sorry.
45:52I'm sorry.
45:54I'm sorry.
45:56I'm sorry.
45:58Nice work, Aaron.
46:01Your father will be very proud of you.
46:07Let's go home.
46:28Let's go home.
46:58Let's go home.
47:28Let's go home.
