Go on! Faster!
They went that way.
OSS 117: MISSION TO TOKYO
Smith, what's going on?
I pick up Clark. I don't know why.
He's killed. I don't know by whom.
- I'm not curious... - But you want to be briefed.
- Indeed. - It's your right.
Eight months ago,
the State Department was contacted by a mysterious organization
wishing to sell a new weapon,
something that couldn't be traced or destroyed.
The usual blackmail, all bluff.
Not quite. You'll see.
After some difficulties...
we had Clark hired in one of the organization's secret laboratories.
Where I picked him up.
He couldn't tell us what he knew.
How much were they selling this “invention” for?
100 million dollars.
That's exactly what HQ thought.
If we refused, they threatened to blow up one of our bases.
When?
Last night at 8:00.
These pictures were recorded by cameras
at Base 124, which was destroyed.
Yet all our bases received the alert instructions.
- This one too. - Of course.
Thanks to that, there were no victims.
There.
Five seconds before the explosion.
Three seconds.
One second. This is all we picked up.
What's that?
The radar showed an identical silhouette
to one of our F107 fighters.
The ﬂight plans were checked,
but no F107- type aircraft was over that region on that day.
- Maybe it was a fake F107. - What?
Impossible. One second before the explosion,
the plane is small in the photo.
So it was far from the base.
None of its missiles could have reached the base
- in less than a second. - Exactly.
Excuse me, but supposing it is an F107,
a tiny, little F107.
It's near the base and small on the photo.
There's a tiny, little secret agent's idea!
A tiny, little secret agent's idea is better than none at all.
Rollston, our agent in Tokyo, sent us a report
in which he too evokes the hypothesis of miniature planes.
- My dear Hubert... - I get it.
- You're sending me to Japan. - Yes.
Here are your orders. A military ﬂight is leaving now.
Babcock, our CIA resident in Tokyo, is waiting for you
and will have you contact Rollston. Clear?
Very.
- Ralph Babcock, Tokyo CIA. - Charmed.
- Here are my orders. - Saki.
- Very honored. - He knows the country well.
- When can I see Rollston? - It won't be possible.
We've had no news from him since yesterday morning.
That's a good start.
He said that if something stopped him getting in contact,
we must protect a woman from the code section at the embassy,
Eva Wilson.
Protect her?
He said it was of the greatest importance.
I must see her quickly.
She's waiting in my office.
Go ahead, Mrs. Wilson. We're listening.
Please...
I'd rather Rollston explain himself.
For lots of reasons, I'd rather you did.
It's not pleasant to say... especially in front of men.
Please, it's very important.
There's not a minute to lose.
Well, one evening, a few months ago...
I met an ofﬁcer in Tokyo.
He was friendly and amusing.
We went to a cabaret, the Mikado.
We danced and...
And then?
I don't know what happened. I don't remember.
I remember waking up in a bedroom in a Tokyo suburb.
A room I'd never seen. It was morning and l was alone.
It's pretty incredible.
Carry on.
I never saw the officer again.
But a week later, I was visited by a Japanese man.
I'd seen him at the cabaret.
He came to show me photos.
- Photos of me. - Yes. If I've got this right,
the photos taken with this ofﬁcer in the hotel were...
How can I put it? Compromising.
Yes.
- And you don't have the photos? - No.
It was blackmail. He threatened to send them to my husband.
- Your husband in Washington? - Yes.
If I didn't supply certain information.
Don't worry, your husband won't see those photos
because you gave them information.
- You knew? - Yes.
- Since when? - Since your story began.
What kind of information was it?
- The radio codes of a base. - Which base?
- Base 124, obviously. - 124?
The one that was destroyed.
Yes.
Mrs. Wilson, this is a matter for the courts.
We have to repatriate you immediately.
- As a result, we'll... - We'll...
let you go free.
Why?
My dear Babcock, you understand.
The Japanese will try to recontact poor Eva Wilson
for more information.
It's our only chance to trace the network to the top.
- Yes. - 80 don't be discouraged.
Be reassured.
Tomorrow your husband will be here, never to leave you.
- My husband? - He arrives tomorrow at 10:00 am.
What husband?
Mr. Wilson. We'll grant his wife extended leave
for a pleasant vacation in Tokyo.
- In Tokyo? My husband? - Yes.
Arrival of KLM Flight 228 from Washington.
Exit Gate B.
Hello, Eva!
Eva!
You've got some nerve.
Always. That's why I'm a colonel.
You should be a general.
You're not the first to say that.
- Hello, Eva. - Hello.
So glad to finally meet your husband.
Come for a drink on Wednesday.
We'll go. We don't want to intrude.
See you soon. Good- bye.
Hello. Did you know Eva's husband just got here?
Is this really necessary?
It's very pleasant.
I'd rather a little more conviction.
- That's not your case, Colonel. - My name's John, don't forget.
The only reason I'm here
is so that everyone you know here knows that your husband has arrived.
- Good. - “Good, John.”
You take your role as husband very seriously.
Very.
Might I ask how far you intend to take this role?
When it comes to defending my country, I have no limits.
It's a very ancient custom.
These papers answer all questions we may have.
What does mine say?
“Time favors an honest man's projects.”
That's good.
And this one?
“You don't argue with the wind.
Why argue with a woman?”
- What's wrong? - It's from the blackmailer.
What does he want?
To meet me tonight at the Seng Su Temple.
I expected this. You will go.
- Alone? - No, I'll follow.
He'll spot you.
Have no fear. I'll be far off. You'll carry a mike.
Where will you hide it?
Here.
It's not a Cartier, but it's precious.
Latest- generation Japanese technology.
May I?
Where will I put the battery?
Turn around, please.
That's perfect.
Are you cold? Pass me the wire.
Thank you.
You really think it'll be of any use?
- Pessimistic? - Realistic.
He speaks Japanese. You won't understand.
You'll skim through a phrase book...
Who says I'll be listening alone?
There!
Don't take this as a compliment...
- Thank you. - Now let's test it.
Go on, speak.
I could tell you everything he says
without using a mike.
You're wary of me.
That's fine, then.
Always beware of women with a beauty spot on their hip.
Yes. Just there.
- There, I'm ready. - Let's go.
Are you scared?
Yes.
Do what I said and it'll be fine.
If you're in danger, call me immediately.
When you leave him, go straight home. Got that?
Yes.
If he's not there, I wait a few minutes then go home.
Those are my orders?
I'll tell you what I think of you now.
How brave you are,
having me take all the risks to accomplish your mission.
Good evening.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
“John Wilson.”
How do you feel?
Fine. How about you?
Me hit head on low ceiling.
Mama- san says you broke the camera.
Of course, how silly of me!
There.
How many?
Five?
Three, four and five.
- Hello. - At last! I've waited hours.
I was worried sick.
- That's very nice. - What were you doing?
Silly things. I banged my head.
- ls it serious? - No.
But it's tiresome. I lost track of your friend.
How did you get on at the temple?
He was suspicious and ripped out the microphone.
He'll set up another meeting, but if I do it again, he'll...
Eliminate you?
- That's perfect. - I hope you're joking.
No, I'm quite serious.
Think about it.
If they're interested in you, they'll show up.
- Somehow or another. - By killing me?
No, don't worry. There's no danger.
Because I'm honored to have your protection?
You could say “happy.”
It'll be fine, you'll see.
We've a whole night to think about it.
Have you ever been called a cad?
No. I kill people before they've time to say it.
- Will you kill me? - Not yet.
I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.
What must I do?
Kiss me.
I don't want to kiss you.
- Very well. In that case... - Where are you going?
Hilton Hotel, Room 122.
If you're shot at, call me.
Hubert!
Apologizing?
I'm scared.
Then just trust me.
Definitely not.
You want a Band- Aid?
You'd better hurry. He won't be around long.
Stop!
I didn't want to kill you. It's an awful misunderstanding!
- Explain! - Just a simple needle
to make honorable foreigner sleep.
Honorable! What for?
- To take you... - Where?
To chat with friends.
Fine. Then take me quietly where I'm meant to go.
- It's easy. - But very embarrassing for...
- For whom? - For Mr. Chang.
This toy sends nine- millimeter needles and makes holes you can't stitch up.
Shall we go?
You'll swear Mr. Chang only gives in to violence.
You're a reasonable man.
This way.
Hey.
- Where am I going? - Right on the bridge.
- And now? - You continue going straight.
We're right behind you, Mr. Wilson.
Do exactly as you're told or your car will blow up.
Glance behind you.
You'll see a magnetic mine.
Any suspicious moves and it blows.
Turn right now.
- Can I say something? - Speak.
I'm sorry to evoke my personal case, but as the disappearance
of my miserable person is not indispensable,
- I'll willingly get out of car. - Impossible.
If you got out, he'd do the same.
Till now you've been satisfied with my services.
That's true.
But we have no choice.
Did you hear? Above all, no jokes.
And do everything they say.
I've got it. And I'll follow your instructions.
It's in your interest, Mr. Wilson.
That's good, very good.
You're a wise man. “The tree clings to its fruit...”
“As the wise man does his life.” Confucius.
Both wise and educated. That's very good.
No, thank you.
A few months ago, [met an ofﬁcer in Tokyo.
He was friendly and amusing.
We went to a cabaret, the Mikado.
- We danced and... - And?
I don't know what happened.
I was visited by a Japanese man.
[noticed him at the cabaret.
What was he doing?
He was with a girl.
Pretty?
Not especially.
- You're sure it's her? - Yes.
Excuse me, I need to take a closer look.
Professional curiosity.
I know your professional curiosity.
- Jealous? - Wouldn't you be pleased!
Good evening.
- How much? - Three tickets to dance.
And if we have a drink?
Another three.
I'll buy now before the price rises.
Eva, this is Miss Three Tickets.
Tetsuko.
Miss.
Tetsuko, my sister.
She's in a bad mood because she lost a bet.
As I'm shy, she bet I wouldn't dare invite you.
There you have it. I dared.
You're becoming bolder all the time.
He doesn't look like a shy boy.
You don't know him. He hides it well.
Eva, it's 1:00.
Mother will worry. You said you'd be back by midnight.
Our mother has asthma.
It's sad.
The doctors think that was what caused my brother's epilepsy.
If it happens, act right away to bring the blood back to the head.
Like this.
Good evening. I wish you lots of patience and courage.
- Good night, John. - Good night, Sister dear...
Don't wait up. I may be back late.
I'm looking for a friend.
Does he come here often?
Yes, you must know him.
Maybe.
He's Japanese.
Like 50 million other men.
I know. But he often wears a raincoat. He's pretty tall.
It's still very vague.
Wait. He has a scar under the right eye.
That's somewhat less vague.
You really know him?
Yes. Do you know him too?
- No, I don't know him. - Shame.
I'm sorry. Is he so interesting?
No, not at all.
I'm interested in you.
What about a drink elsewhere?
What do you mean by “a drink elsewhere”?
Ending the evening together.
I'm very ﬂattered.
But I can't leave before the end of the party.
That said, I can't dance with you.
Why?
You've no more tickets.
Don't go.
- There. - Thank you.
I got a friend to cover. We can go.
- Right now? - If you like.
Then let's go.
Excuse me.
Here, old boy. A gift from the UN.
Where are we going?
- To a ryokan. - Great.
What's that?
You've never been to a ryokan? A comfortable, isolated inn.
- What's your name? - John Wilson.
Are you married?
Yes. But don't worry, my wife stayed in the US.
I'm not worried. What are you doing in Tokyo?
- I'm an agent... - For a large company.
You guessed.
I sell diggers and earth movers and...
bulldozers.
A sales argument?
It eliminates the competition.
You're well equipped.
You too.
- What's that? - A mike.
Odd. What's that for?
Almost all the Mikado dancers wear them.
To find out if a client is proper.
Everything I said...
They heard, of course. Does that bother you?
Not at all.
- Where's the battery? - In the handle.
- Do go in. - After you.
- No. You must take your shoes off. - I'm sorry.
The owner says we must wear a kimono.
Very well.
You have to go with them.
With pleasure.
What did you say?
Sorry, just passing through.
Oh, you want me to stay with you.
Watch out, it burns!
Come on, you'll catch cold.
What are you doing in my car?
Looking for you. You disappeared.
One thing I don't get.
Oh... Who might you be?
Colonel Kawachi, Japanese secret service.
Charmed. John Wilson.
Yes, I know. It's the name on your passport.
Your behavior since arriving has been strange...
and I have another hypothesis.
Which?
I think you're a CIA agent, maybe even 088 117.
I'm too ﬂattered to deny it.
I told Tetsuko to organize an interview in a ryokan.
The sumotori who wanted you to stay didn't have time to tell you.
You are impatient.
That's true. We're all pretty nervous at the moment.
- One of our agents is missing. - Rollston?
- You knew? - I know everything that goes on.
I can help you if you bring me up to speed.
So, what are you looking for?
One of your compatriots with a scar under the right eye.
This young lady knows him.
We're looking for him too.
That's why Tetsuko- san works at the Mikado.
I see. It's becoming clearer now.
Believe me, things would be much easier
if our services collaborated more closely.
Absolutely. I'd love to collaborate with a pretty hostess.
She's not a hostess. She's a sergeant.
Sergeant, I like you a lot.
I like you too, Colonel.
We're going to work well together.
That's my impression too, Colonel.
- I should have suspected. - What?
Japanese women. I had been warned, though.
You're fearsome.
Are you afraid?
This is a baptism of sorts.
Your first Japanese kiss?
No. My first sergeant.
Colonel Kawachi.
- Can I see the film? - Yes, you shall.
Let's go, then.
Stop!
Interesting, no?
Very interesting.
Did you check the plates?
The number's fake.
Next day, two men were waiting as she left the Mikado.
- She took the same car. - Stop.
Print several shots of that.
Interesting, it's true.
What will you do?
Talk to her.
Eva? It's me, John.
No, everything's fine.
Tetsuko?
In the end, I wasn't her type.
Look, I have to go to Hong Kong for two days.
Yes, immediately.
Could you bring my bag to the airport?
Well?
Someone went to her place 15 minutes ago.
Show me.
Here.
Hello, Babcock? Yes, it's me.
Telephone Mrs. Wilson.
Have her come on some pretext.
And try to keep her there for ten minutes. Thanks.
- Who are you? - And you?
I'm asking the questions here.
Why?
Because I have a gun. And because my wife lives here.
Your wife?
- You are John Wilson? - Exactly.
- That's odd. - Why?
You don't look like him.
- You know him? - Slightly.
I'm in no mood for jokes.
I'm sorry, but I came to see my wife.
Your wife?
Yes, Eva. I'm Eva's husband.
You have your papers?
Sorry, Mr. Wilson. I didn't expect you.
Sorry for asking questions,
but you're pretending to be me.
Why?
Eva is in danger. I'm looking out for her.
I see why she was so mysterious and nervous.
- Cigarette? - No, I don't smoke.
Thank you.
So you live here. With her.
Yes.
Don't think I feel bitter.
Eva and I have been separated for two years.
We intend to divorce. We just don't get along.
I'm in Tokyo on business. I thought I'd drop in.
I understand.
You say she's in danger. Is she risking her life?
That's not impossible.
I advised her not to take that job in the cipher office.
It's too risky. She didn't listen.
Don't worry, I've no intention of embarrassing you.
Tell Eva I understood the situation.
I shall.
I'll be going.
Look after her, Mr. Wilson.
I am, Mr. Wilson.
Still here?
I told you to go. Please leave.
Am I in the way?
- You? - Happy to see me?
Of course.
I like to hear you say it.
I had to come back. I have something to ask you.
This Japanese who set up the meeting...
did he snatch the mike off you?
- Yes. - How did he do it?
Show me. How exactly?
Like this.
It didn't tear your dress?
No. The clip can't have been closed properly.
Sorry, but it was. I did it myself.
What happened to the wire and the battery?
I don't know. I was so scared.
I don't remember.
Yes, you must have been terrified.
You didn't walk home, I hope?
No. I took a taxi right away.
There's something I don't understand.
Look. Here you're taking the clip off.
And it's an odd taxi you took.
And at the Mikado,
you didn't tell me two men were waiting.
That reminds me. I met one of your friends.
- Where? - Here.
Here?
You know what his name is?
John Wilson. Amusing, isn't it?
- Hello? - Hubert?
Yes, it's me.
Saki's been killed.
- Where? - At the Yochi Temple.
I'll be right there.
Mrs. Wilson, let me jog your memory.
The blackmail, the compromising photos.
You made it all up.
No one forced you to give out radio frequencies.
- No. - Then why? For whom?
Give me the reason.
- You saw the reason for yourself. - Your husband?
So he's part of the organization.
- You too? - No, I swear!
Come on.
My husband's a great technician, but too ambitious.
- I left him after five years. - Why?
- Because of the people he saw. - What people?
Foreign ﬁnanciers.
He was working on an invention that'd make our fortune.
I hadn't seen him in two years, and he showed up in Tokyo.
- Demanding information? - Yes.
He said if I refused, the organization would execute him.
You love him?
No, but I lived with him for five years.
- What else do you know? - Absolutely nothing.
I don't even know where he lives in Tokyo.
- That's horrible. - Poor Saki.
Hubert, I just spoke to Smith.
The organization's deadline expires tomorrow morning.
- Washington has agreed to negotiate. - What? Negotiate?
Indeed. The ransom will be paid tomorrow at dawn.
The organization will tell us what to do.
- A fool's deal. - Why?
The organization could sell the plans to anyone after us.
If we negotiate, it'll keep its HQ and the blackmail begins again.
Possible, but our HQ can't let another base be blown up.
We have strict orders: Do nothing.
We're supposed to lay low and attempt nothing.
Anyway, I don't see what you could do.
Indeed.
I think I'll take a vacation.
Mrs. Wilson is of no further use.
Best send her to Washington as soon as possible.
She'll be tried as planned.
So it's true? You're abandoning me?
You've a bad opinion of me. I never give up.
Then why send her to Washington?
To play my final card.
I'm sorry, but I can't do anything for you.
The organization won't let me leave Japan.
- Why did Hubert... - Look out!
They're not the ones to follow. Wait a while.
Fetch a doctor.
Eva!
Stop!
Now it's our turn to play. Let's go!
I know, I'm sorry.
I work at the embassy.
We'll do a test, Sergeant.
l'll dial a number.
I had no choice, Eva.
If you'd gone to Washington, they'd have made you talk.
You'd have spent years in prison.
Ten years, maybe 20.
You'd be poor and old when you got out.
- And now? - Now we can sort it out.
You're safe. You're out of danger.
Tomorrow it'll all be over.
You can live as you like. You'll be free.
And seven.
Well?
The number isn't in the book. They'll give it to me.
Strange. It's the number of Yokota- san's house.
- Yokota? Who's that? - A Korean industrialist.
- What does he make? - He's in electronics.
Electronics.
You'll meet my partners.
Mr. Yokota, Mr. Vargas, my wife.
Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Wilson.
Allow me to congratulate you.
Congratulate me?
Firstly on your great beauty.
And for the help you've given our organization.
I'm very grateful.
That's why I insisted on your not being harmed.
It's much safer if you're with us.
Much safer for everyone.
Meantime, this house is your house.
Yonake remains at your disposal.
If you need the slightest thing, he is, as I am myself,
at your service.
Gentlemen. See you later, Mrs. Wilson.
- I didn't think I'd see you again. - Disappointed?
Surprised.
You underestimated me.
Indeed.
The old Korean with all the manners, is he Yokota?
- Yes. - And the other?
- Vargas, a shipbuilder. - Did you learn anything?
The trade is tomorrow on the blue mountain pass.
South of Nagasaki.
They bring plans, the Americans bring money.
- Where's their HQ? - I don't know.
I just know we're leaving tonight aboard a fast boat.
Perfect. I'll give you something.
It's a quartz transmitter.
Once you're in their HQ, plug it into any socket.
It'll send a constant fixed- frequency signal.
- l'll try. - Do it.
It's the only way we'll know where you are.
- And then? - I'll sort it out.
- You asked for tea? - Yes, why?
It's coming.
Good luck.
- Well? - Everything's ready, sir.
We're on the quartz wavelength.
Good. Keep listening. All we can do now is wait.
There. Contact received, sir.
- Forty- two degrees north. - Forty- two degrees north.
- 126 east. - 126 east.
It's out at sea.
- On a boat? - Probably.
Let's go right away.
- And keep in contact. - Yes, sir.
En route, pretty soldier.
We're relying on you.
I know. Count on me, Colonel.
- Be careful. - I'll try.
Eva, ready? They're waiting for us.
Yes, I'll be right there.
What's the matter?
- Yokota scares me. - Why?
Because he likes you.
It's true, you are beautiful. You've never been so beautiful.
I should never have let you go.
You think we could live together again?
Soon, we'll be richer than you ever dreamed.
Come on, they're waiting.
Roger.
Get out of the clouds so we can have a look.
All right.
Ease off the gas and maintain this course.
Batter number one.
Received.
Battery number two.
Received.
Batter number three.
Received.
I'll let you know when Vargas gets there.
Roger.
Please go aboard.
I'll stay on your wavelength.
If it doesn't go as planned...
Go and watch them.
...be ready to react.
Rely on me.
At my signal, launch a missile on Base 139.
- Are we in contact with Vargas? - Not yet, Yokota—san.
Vargas here. I'm at the spot. The truck's getting into position.
Hello. Wilson here.
- Can you hear me? - I can.
We're at 22 degrees by 452.
We're 60 nautical miles from US Base 139.
Roger, thank you.
If the Americans are on time, they should be here...
in 30 seconds.
There they are.
Attention.
Do not leave the craft before showing us
that you are in possession of the planned ransom,
100 million dollars in raw diamonds.
The assessor can check the material.
You will ﬁnd guidance formulas in the truck...
the composition of metals for cladding the nuclear charge...
and the formulas for the explosives.
- They set a trap for us. - Do as planned, immediately.
Right.
Take off, quick!
Wilson, the Americans have reneged on the deal.
- Blow up their base. - Roger.
Execution.
Firing at plus 20.
Device launched.
We're starting the countdown.
Radiation, maximum charge.
Missile aimed at Base 139.
Let's go, now!
Fetch the coordinates of their ship.
- How? - The map's on the table. Quickly!
- Thirty- five degrees north. - Thirty- five degrees north.
- 126 east. - 126 east.
I've got it.
