With margo. Instead youre here, getting plenty of rest, you have time for meditation. Food of the vine, flowers of the field. Exquisite view. What exquisite view . That exquisite view. Im afraid youll have to leave now, mr. Solo, visiting hours are over. Time for your temperature, mr. Kuryakin. Again . Dr. Lauer. Im going. Oh, margo wanted me to thank you, but she was busy tonight modeling bikinis, and i thought i would say hello for you if i just stopped by and picked her up for supper. No, mr. Kuryakin, youre to stay in bed and rest. Dr. Lauer. And no cheating on the thermometer this time, mr. Kuryakin. Ill be back to check it and make sure youve taken your emulsion sorry, mr. Kuryakin. Im dr. Heller. The orderly here will help you onto the gurney. What for . For a consultation on your condition tomorrow. Just some routine cranial vascular xrays. I think only the emergency xray lab is open after six. Yes, thats where were taking you. Get him ready, but carefully. You will find the amount, i believe, to be exact, 50,000 krona was the amount upon, was it not . Considering the risk. A contract is a contract, gentlemen. It is now terminated. The terms have been fulfilled on each side. Stefan will guide you out. For us . That was part of the bargain. That has been provided for. Your final disappearance. Again, gentlemen, my gratitude for your services. Viktor karmak alive . Yes, mr. Solo, viktor karmak alive and here. And holding mr. Kuryakin. Someones grabbed illya, but not viktor karmak. He died two years ago. His own people put him out of commission. Well, something less pleasant than death. What was left of karmakk was stacked out in a jungle clearing for the scavenger ants. The scavenger ants, death is slow, but its always certain. Not in this case. Illya and i buried him, or at least his remains, some shreds of uniform, a few bones. Im sure you have our report on the affair. Yes, i have it, i have it all right. And a report from infiltration command. Another from mipnet, both quite conclusive. Karmak resurfaced in brazil two months ago. His s ail since then is quite distinct. Montreal, el salvador, and now here, here in the city. Karmaks entry visa declaration. His thumbprint and his own signature. That doesnt make sense, unless he wants us to find him. You and mr. Kuryakin were responsible for his downfall. You may care to listen to the message he sent. I think you might find it interesting since apparently its an invitation to your own death. Solo, solo. Twelve oclock k twelve or illya dies. Well, what do you make of it . Twelve oclock twelve. Twelve. Where . Ill show you. Ms. Rogers. Karmak is trying to lure you into a trap, he has to be sure youll make it in time. Must be somewheree in manhattan. Well, that brackets it nicely. Still got 52 minutes leftft twelfth precinct maybe. Now its got to be in a definite place. Hohoabout pier 12 . Ms. Rogers . Weve already checked it out, napoleon. Nothing. And number 12 12th avenue. And track number 12 grand central, nothing. Waverly hehe. Grid net 3 in position. Waiting instruction. All right, ill be there. Meantime, instruct grid net 3 an a, full red alert, condition green permissible at any possible contact. Condition green . Karmak spots u. N. C. L. E. Agents flooding in there, he may not wait until 12. Hell murder illya out of hand. If we can guess the place, i might have a chance of getting to illya alone. Thats just what karmak wants. I couldnt allow that. I cant afford to lose two agents cause of a childish vendetta. Not yet. Then i have no choice. Solo, solo. Twtwve oclock or illya dies. Illya dies. Have you found something . Well, i suppose you are another one of those nasty people frfr the health and sanitation department. Well, i wiwi not be moved again. I dont know if youve ever read the constitution. Where is he . What are you talking about . Th and sanitation department, well, then what are you doing here . What are you doing here . Well, the rent hapapns to be reasonable. Oh, you a starving artist. Uhhuh. Oh, i see. And that sing tao necklace youre wearing, i gather you got thaha at a distress sale at the local diamond store. I estimate that eaea one of these matched emeralds is worth about, uh, hm, 15,000 . And it just so happens that my daddy gave them to me when i promised to give upupky diving. All right, you can drop the pose now. Whwhes karmak . Watch out now look what youve done. Look, you just did that. I did . Youve gone ananaltered the whole dynamic of it. I was gonna call it time in a cosmic. Wait a minute. Now it adds a certain primal thrust. Well, exactly what it looks like. Of course art to the philistine bureaucratic mind doesnt mean that. All right, you can save the rest of the compliments until later. Youre getting out of here right now. Come on. Oh, now, just a minute. An artist has certain rights, and if you think. Why dont you write your congressman tomorrow, okay . I am not gogog anywhere i own this place i mean, the whole area. O. You passed the first test, and in good time. But then i expected you to decipher my message. You see, i do have cause to respect your capabilities, mr. Solo, and your sense of discretion. Please, dont move or ill be forced to kill you know. What is it, who is he . An old acquaintance. Yes, indeed, mr. Solo. A very old acquaintance. And one who has had a long time to contemplate this reunion. I have planned your death and kuryakins down to the last minute detail, and i shall savor every moment of it. I think we better get out of here. Let the girl go, karmak. You have a score to settle with me. She has no part in it. The young lady was not part of the original plan of operations, the hunt . Yes, mr. S so, i intend to hunt you, to stalk you. Kuryakin will be the tethered bait, and you the prey. Kuryakin is being held somemeere in this ten block condemned area. You have until of doing s. Dont. Stefan. You will give your weapons to my servant stefan. The fuse cap in your tie clip. Thank you. But the odod seemed somewhat stacked in the houses favor now. I spent the last two years of my life making certain of that, mr. Solo. You will not attempt to escape, nor seek help, nor attempt to kill me. For with my death, your colleague will be quite certain and immediately killed. It is now six minutes to twelve. L begin. I do hope youve lost none of your skill, mr. Solo. Its almost 12, its three minutes of. I know. Well, arent we gonna do something how . Wait, maybe i could go to the other side e the area and then try to call. Karmaks got the deck, and weve got to play it his way, and hope that he makes the mimiake. Youre not gonna go out there and do what he said . And let him hunt you down like some kind of animal . Ive got to, thats the only way im gonna find illya. Do you have anything around here besides wine and Peanut Butter . What do you use in your work . What, youre interested in modern art . Never momo than right now, ms. , uh. Oh, van tillson, sheila van tillson. Then you do own this whole area. No, my daddy did. He gave it to the city for a park. He was gonna build me a studio, but i refused because e feel you dont want your last meal . If you were sitting in a gas chamber, would you . Why not. The glass. It fell on t t floor. You should not do that. Nt think hehes gonna let you survive, do you . He cant afford to. Hes going to dispose of you just like he did the other two, to cover his tracks. No when you are dead and the other one, karmak says we leave. Run away is what he means with every u. N. C. L. E. Agent in theheorld after you. Either way, youre finished. But it doesnt have to be that way. Because u. N. C. L. E. Would also reward very handsomely anyone who helps. Stefan reward very handsomely. Stefan stefan, come. The hunt begins. Stay here. Wait, it may be a trick. Im counting on that. Bait to flush out the quarry. Karmak may take a shot at me, and he may also miss. If he does, it will be my chance to move in on him. You there, solo . Im listening. I can tell you where your friend is, where karmak has him l right, tell me. I will meet you. You mean some place thats good for an ambush, huh . If i wanted to kill you, i could do it right from here. Ill prove it to you. All right. See that alleyway across the street . Ill meet you there in five minutes. Come unarmed with your hands up r solo. Solo. Where is he . Illya. A. No, we settle first. The otheheone, kuryakin, said you would pay. All right. Youre alive, thats as high as ill go. I think youubetter take it while you can. All right, all right. On the other side of this alley, two blocks down theres a refrigeratioioplant. Hes on the second floor. Just to make sure, you can go with me. Karmak would kill me if i go
