05x26 - I Am Curiously Yellow

[bunniefuu]

Larabee, this is the chief.
Have you heard from max?

Larabee: no, I haven't, chief.

Did you give him the message
that I wanted him to report

To me here in
chinatown immediately?

Larabee: i certainly
did. You know me, chief.

That's why I'm asking.

Never mind, larabee.
I see him coming now.

Sorry I'm late, chief.

That's all right, max.
How'd you make out?

Well, I checked out every
chinese restaurant in town.

No sign of the whip.

I checked out every chinese
laundry in town except that one.

I found no sign of him either.

That means they must be
using that one as a front, chief.

That's why I asked you to come
down here, I need your help.

Wait a minute. Look who's
coming down the street.

He does look familiar.

I'd better check him out
in the mug book, chief.

Unless I miss my guess,
that's kaos agent fu yung.

You're right, chief. Here
it is right in the mug book.

"Born in new york's
lower east side.

As a child was always getting into
fights because of his first name."

What's his first name
got to do with it?

When you're raised in a
neighborhood like he was,

You have to learn how to
fight with a name like abe fu yung.

- I see what you mean.
- Bullies were always b*ating him up

And then he was coming back
again in a half hour for more.

He went right into that laundry. Max, I
think we found what we're looking for.

Now, plan four goes
into effect immediately.

You're to go around back, gain entrance
and try to overhear what they're up to.

I'll stand there on the corner
and pick 'em up when they come out.

Right, chief.

- What're you doing?
- I'm calling larabee.

Larabee, plan four goes
into effect immediately.

I want you to drive to the corner
of 8th and water chestnut street,

- And establish a roadblock.
- Larabee: right, chief.

- Ready, max?
- Let's go, chief.

I hate that stuff.

You are a fool, fu.

- But, whip, i...
- Silence.

You failed to bring me
the information I seek.

I'm sorry. I wasn't able to
penetrate control headquarters.

You failed.

You know what that means?

Oh no, please.
Not the whip, whip.

Yes, the whip.

Old chinese saying:

Punishment is
companion of failure.

That's enough.

Be glad I'm in a
happy mood today.

Why are you in such
a happy mood today?

I'm going to have a control
agent kidnapped and brought here.

I intend to hypnotize him,

Send him back to control
to do our work for us.

Why that's brilliant.

Centuries ago, this gong belonged to
a noted chinese magician, ming chong ho.

When struck, it sends off
psychedelic light patterns

Which will instantly hypnotize
any person looking at it.

That person is then in my power.

That's fantastic.

I will give you a
visual demonstration.

But step back, I do not want
you looking directly into it.

Anyone who looks into
it will be hypnotized?

Instantly.

Now listen to me, mr. Smart.

you are completely in my power.

From now on, no
matter where you are,

no matter what you are doing,

When I telephone you
and strike this gong,

you will immediately
do as I bid.

This condition will last
for exactly 30 minutes

At which point you will
revert to your normal self

With no recollection whatsoever

Of having been
placed in a trance.

How do we know it'll work?

It can be easily proven.

In exactly five seconds,
the spell will have worn off.

We will have our
proof very shortly.

It's the whip!

You rang, master?

- are you sure, max?
- I'm positive, chief.

I'm telling you,
fu yung came in,

Dropped off his shirt,
picked up his laundry

And left by the back door.

I was certain he was there to
pick up or deliver information.

No, chief. Just shirts.

Max, I've got something
in my wall safe.

this is what the whip is after.

You're kidding.
That's fantastic.

I didn't know he
played the violin.

Chief: this is the narco 512.

I recognized it immediately.

A w*apon so new that no
one has ever seen it before.

How does it work, chief?

We're all familiar with the
shock wave of a sonic boom

Which occurs when an aircraft
breaks the sound barrier.

If we could take that energy
and amplify it 10,000 times,

And confine it in a small area,

Can you imagine the
results you'd get?

A rock 'n' roll festival?

It's not quite that bad, max.

What're you doing?

I'm gonna take it over to the
pentagon, chief, where it'll be safe.

Max, don't you touch that.

The pentagon sent it
over here to be safe.

The plans have been destroyed,

And this is the only
working model in existence.

Until the whip is caught,
this g*n is our responsibility.

Well, I think they made
a very wise decision.

With me guarding the narco 512,

It couldn't be in better hands.

I've got it.

Excellent. Open it up.

One won ton, one fried rice,

One chicken chow mien, egg roll.

If we had ordered for two, we
would've gotten sweet and sour ribs.

Never mind the sweet and sour
ribs, where are the fortune cookies?

Ah. Ha ha.

This innocent fortune
cookie is not so innocent

When it contains
instructions from kaos.

"You will lose your
lover through false..."

Fu yung, you incompetent dolt,
you ordered the wrong dinner.

No master, I do as you say.

I ordered dinner number two.

Look at other fortune cookie.

You'd better be right.

"Narco 512 has
now been delivered

To control office."

- Splendid.
- First I will eat.

I do not want food to get cold.

You're going to
stop to eat... Now?

Of course. I certainly wouldn't
want to waste good food.

People are starving
all over america.

You sure you wouldn't
like me to stay here

While you guard the narco 512?

No, that's all right, 99. You
go ahead and do your shopping,

I'll see you at the
apartment later.

- Remember, max.
- Don't worry, chief, I won't forget.

I haven't told you what I
wanted you to remember yet.

Oh, that's right, I forgot.

You're not to leave this
office until larabee gets here.

I don't want the narco 512
left unguarded for a second.

Don't worry
about a thing, chief.

Control headquarters.
Maxwell smart speaking.

Good afternoon, mr. Smart.
Do you know who this is?

No, I don't.

Perhaps this will help you.

J arthur rank?

Mr. Smart,

That was the sacred
gong which triggered

The post-hypnotic suggestion
which I gave you yesterday.

Is that clear?

Huh?

Mr. Smart, you will now
no longer be yourself.

You are now a man of wisdom,

Of infinite taste and ability.

Do you understand
what I am saying?

Yes, master.

These are your instructions...

You will steal the narco 512

And bring it to me immediately,

And you will remember nothing.

Yes, master.

Max, you forgot
to give me money.

What do you need
money for, my dear?

To go to the market to buy food.

I'm taking you out to dinner.

You are?

You don't suppose
for one single moment

That I'd allow these
precious hands...

To wash dishes?

Max, you're acting very
strange. Are you all right?

Max, I don't know
what's gotten into you,

But I just love it.

- Yes, larabee?
- Huh?

What did you want?

I forgot.

Goodbye, larabee.

Can I watch while I'm
trying to remember?

Get out, larabee.

Wait a minute. Larabee
was supposed to relieve me.

I'd better go after him.

No, max, you can't leave
the narco 512 unguarded.

I'll go get him.

that's max, all right.

Max: what do you mean,
"that's max, all right"?

That couldn't possibly be me.

I didn't steal a farco 912.

It's not the farco


Farco, narco, what's
the difference?

I didn't steal
either one of them.

If this isn't you, then explain
to me how this picture was taken.

Well, I'd say at about


With an f-8 lens.

I'm sorry, max,
photographs don't lie.

Okay, if I stole the narco 512,

Then where is it?

That's what I came
here to ask you.

Would you please
ask it and leave?

I can't stand around
here all day talking,

I have to pack and
skip the country.

- Then you admit your guilt.
- I don't admit anything.

I can't convince you that
that's not me in the picture,

But i know it's not
me in the picture,

Because I don't even remember
taking the g*n out of the safe.

Chief, that explains everything.

- Explains what?
- Max's strange behavior.

- What strange behavior?
- When I came back into the office,

You took me in your
arms and kissed me.

- I kissed you?
- Yes, when I asked you for money.

Oh, well that proves it
couldn't have been me, chief.

max!

To forget that you've
robbed a safe is one thing,

But to forget that
you've kissed your wife,

I don't think that's very nice.

Max, the picture proves
that you took the g*n.

But the fact that you don't
remember taking it is what puzzles me.

Now there's only one way
to get to the bottom of this.

Have you ever had
sodium pentothal?

Well, to tell you
the truth, chief, no.

I think he's coming around, 99.

Max, are you all right, love?

What happened?

The control doctor gave you
some sodium pentothal... Truth serum.

You've been out
for over an hour.

- Did I talk?
- Yes, you did, love.

And we know everything we need
to know and you're in the clear.

Then I didn't steal the
narco 512. That's good.

- You did steal it, max.
- Oh, that's bad.

Not necessarily. You
turned it over to the whip,

And in doing that, we now know where
the whip's headquarters are located.

- Oh, that's great.
- That's really good.

Not necessarily, the whip may
smuggle it out of the country.

- Oh, that's bad.
- That's awful.

Not really, I took
the precaution

Of removing the
computer programmer

Which makes the
narco 512 operative.

The whip is going to
have to contact you again

And try to hypnotize you to
get you to steal this programmer.

- Oh, that's not so good.
- That's rotten.

Actually, it isn't too bad.

We'll give you one of
control's new antihypnotic pills,

Which will make you immune
to the whip's hypnosis.

- Oh, that's great.
- That's sensational.

I wouldn't count
on it too much, max.

Remember, you're on your own,

And if the whip finds out
that you're not hypnotized,

He'll k*ll you instantly.

- Oh, I don't like that at all.
- I hate it.

What we're asking you to do
is a very dangerous thing, max.

Are you sure you want
to go through with it?

- You want the truth, chief?
- Yes.

I think you'd better
give me another sh*t.

See? Like I told you.

g*n is like wife's
brother, will not work.

I am most glad it doesn't,
but I'm puzzled as to why.

This is only one of
its kind in existence.

You know what that means?

It means you cannot exchange it?

It means someone has
deliberately made this inoperable

By removing computer
programmer cassette.

Then the w*apon is useless.

Like wife's brother.

But condition can be
rectified by telephone call

And sound of secret gong.

Hello, whip? Oh,
it's you, larabee.

Give me that phone.

Larabee, what are you
doing calling on this line?

I just wanna tell you I'm
going to keep this line open

So the whip can get through.

Did it ever occur to you that if the
whip wanted to get through right now,

He couldn't because
you're on this line?

Well, why do you think
I'm going to keep it open?

- Larabee, hang up the phone.
- You too.

Max, the next time
you pick up the phone,

Don't say, "hello, whip."

You're not supposed to
know he's going to call.

I'm sorry, chief. I
guess I'm a little jumpy.

You have reason
to be jumpy, max.

This is a very
dangerous assignment.


Every precaution possible.

Now, it's time
for your pill, max.

What's this, chief?

It's an antihypnotic pill.

You'll be immune to any
form of hypnosis for 24 hours.

But won't they know max
hasn't been hypnotized?

Not if he's a good actor, 99,
but as an added precaution,

I'm issuing max this pen g*n.

It's equipped with a cartridge
of high-potency sleeping gas.

Oh, that's great, chief. I haven't
been sleeping too well lately.

It's not for you,
max, it's for the whip.

The whip hasn't been
sleeping too well lately?

Max, that must be the whip. Be
very careful what you say now.

Control headquarters.

Maxwell smart, please.

Speaking.

I tried to reach
you a moment ago,

But the line was busy.

There is something I
would like you to listen to.

I'm listening.

Mr. Smart, you have just
heard the sacred gong

Which triggered the
post-hypnotic suggestion.

Do you understand, mr. Smart?

Yes, master.

Here are your instructions.

You will steal the computer
programmer cassette of the narco 512

And bring it to
me without delay.

Yes, master.

Well, it worked, chief.

The whip thinks I'm hypnotized

And instructed me to bring the
programmer computer cassette

Over to his office immediately.

Our plan is working.
I'll get it out of the safe.

Come on, 99.

What're you two doing?

We don't have one of
the three of us, chief.

- One what?
- A photograph. Smile, 99.

Mr. Smart is here.

Show him in.

Fu yung: you may
enter, mr. Smart.

I thought you said when your
subject becomes hypnotized

He's extremely graceful.

You brought the
cassette, mr. Smart?

- Yes, master.
- May I have it, please?

Thank you, mr. Smart.

Now that I have no further
need for you, goodbye.

- You're leaving?
- No, you're leaving.

You make a mistake, mr. Smart,
you bring the wrong cassette.

Would you like to
try a glen campbell?

All right, mr. Smart.

It's quite obvious. You
are no longer in my power.

Then it should also be obvious

That you are under arrest.

Fu, k*ll him.

Hold it right there, fu.

Your pen is no match
for my hatchet, mr. Smart.

This is no ordinary pen, fu.

I don't believe you.

And now, whip, it's your turn.

And now, mr. Smart,

I am going to whip you within an
inch of your life, unmercifully.

Max! Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine, 99.

We waited as long as we dared.
When we didn't hear from you,

We figured something
had gone wrong.

Don't worry, chief, the
situation is well in hand.

Not only did we manage
to save the narco 512,

But we also captured abe
fu yung and the infamous whip.

What's the matter, chief?

What a strange looking gong.

It's fascinating. I'll bet
it's thousands of years old.

that is the sacred gong that the
whip used to hypnotize his victims.

No kidding. How does it work?

When that gong is
struck by that hammer,

Certain magic psychedelic light
patterns appear in the victim's eyes

Causing him to fall
immediately under the spell

Of whoever it was
who struck the gong.

You mean like this?

Larabee, do you know what you
did when you struck that gong?

You hypnotized the
chief. He's in your power.

Is that right, chief?

Yes, master.

Well... Let's see.

Well, I wasn't a
raise, a few weeks off,

A new car,

And I think I would
like your office.

Yes yes, I'd like that.

You can take mine.

And I want the
location and the key

To the secret
executive washroom.

I'd like that. I'd love that.

And...
