we're ready to take off any time you are. hey, how about this. our own private plan. you know, i've never even been on a plane before. oh. welcome aboard, gentlemen. you have three pictures. i want them. you will give them to me, or i shall be forced to introduce your charming companion here

there is a time for heroics, and a time for prudence. napoleon. thank you. and now, not without some regret on my part, we must say good bye. my colleagues and i have a rendezvous below. you will continue your journey alone. it won't be a long one. there is just enough fuel to take you out

and when the fuel runs out happy landings. go.

any news from mr. solo yet? no, sir. you don't think he's... i hope not. i got it. ms. rogers. news just came in, sir, from the flight six captain. the plane was hijacked in austria. thrush got away with mr. solo, mr. kuryakin, and the girl. clear the emergency channel. red alert. attention, rear control, get a fix on uncle plane, flight six. top priority. make your hands. i can't, it's too tight.

come in, mr. solo. come on, let's stand up, both together. wait. help me get up. push, up. mr. solo, do you read me? come in, mr. kuryakin. all right, now work your hands out. okay, all right, get the rope off. i have a hand. get it out.

come in, mr. solo. i read you, sir, loud and clear.

ah, welcome back. andy, mr. waverly, this is ms. true. ms. true. i'm glad you made it comfortably, gentlemen. yes, we seem to have made it all the more comfortable for thrush, though. they now have all three of the dr. true photos. all four. amanda's daughter in rio de janeiro is very nicely married with two very lovely children, an enterprising journalist after for the latest

including thrush. yes. and we've just intercepted a thrush signal. they're very busy converting their central complex to produce gold. of course, we have no idea where that complex is. not the slightest, mr. solo, but we do have one advantage, and, if i may say so, a very lovely one. you see, you, sandy, are the key rue's photo code. well, i don't know whether to take a bow or, uh, run for my life. are you sure i'm able to help? my dear, your father led us to believe you're the only one who can. come here, my dear. here are the four photographs. we isolated the symbols on the blackboards.

and found them meaningless, so we decided to be unsophisticated. play a few simple word games. maybe it's an anagram. my daddy used to make up funny ones for me when i was little. that is quite right, my dear. so we rearranged the letters, and came up with... all yours, ms. true, go ahead. japanese lullaby. i'm sorry, mr. waverly, i don't know what that means. japanese lullaby. you know, i never thought i'd be pleased that our friends

it's so silly of me not to be able to figure it out. oh, don't worry about it. maybe when we get to your father's house, in that atmosphere, you'll be able to remember. meanwhile, think about something else. like what? der a motorcycle escort? that's no escort.

good. good, my boy, we want the young lady to talk to us. she won't be able to do that if you've, uh, battered her into unconsciousness. i won't tell you anything no matter what you do to me. do to you? now don't be silly.

first, a little demonstration. all right. no, don't.

stop that thing. i'll tell you. that's the wrong way around, my dear, first you tell me then i will stop it. japanese lullaby, what does it mean? i'll tell you. it refers to a friend of my father's in japan. he must have sent him the formula. a friend of your father's in japan? what was his name? i don't remember. please, don't kill him. i don't remember. i was a little girl, i don't remember. you will remember in japan.

sandy?

it's all go on this job, isn't it? isn't it just? four hours. we've toured tokyo for four hours. i'm sorry, it was a long time ago. ms. true, believe me. i fully appreciate the sentimental overtones of the situation. a japanese gentleman, a fellow scientist of your father's, endeared himself to you by singing you to sleep. he did, i can even remember the lullaby. i'm not asking you to sing it to me. just tell me his name and where to find him. i'm trying. daddy brought me here to some conference. it was a big building, modern, with fountains, and we even visited the lullaby man, but i was a child, i don't remember.

i think that's it. the marine museum. that's where we went. i can't remember his name, but his office,

please, don't give me away, i'm in great danger. please. okay, kid, you stick with us. overseas operator wants to know uncle what? just uncle.

oh, ask them to trace mr. waverly. they said what initial? just, um, mr. waverly in new york, that's all i know. listen, can't they start with the first waverly in the book, and keep calling until they find the one with uncle? supervisor say it's impossible. they must have first initial, or can't place the call. oh. i gotta get out of here. wait a minute, where will you go? well, i don't know. then you stay here. they'll never find you here. oh, you don't know them. you can't hide from them.

are you doing? in this place a girl can spend an entire life and no one ever know. what kind of a place is this? a geisha house. a geisha house? you mean all you girls are geisha girls? most famous in all tokyo, which is why you must not disgrace us, not to ruin our reputation. me ruin your rep... what are you trying to do with me?

that's the photograph of the girl, inspector. she was brought to japan against her will.

this girl answering the same description was reported to us by a taxi driver entering a certain geisha house. geisha house? geisha house, sandy? then you will leave the matter in our hands? in uncle's most capable hands. arigato. you're welcome. now no one will ever know you. two foreign gentlemen outside. i told it was no use.

good evening. the gentlemen has reservation, yes? regrettably, no. we understand that you have a friend of ours here, ms. sandy true? uh, yes, come in. she told me she was expecting you. oh, she did? you know when homesick think of friends loneliness flees. it's asian haiku. haiku? se poetry. it hmy forite is, "the old pond, a frog jumps in, plop." please, take shoes off. uh, sandy is here, ou that correct? yes, sandy very much here in bath japanese baths, very hard, take long time. you gentlemen like to have tea while waiting? uh, thank you, but please don't worry about us. oh, no worry.

nothing like other gentlemen. always business. no time to make pleasure. um, no, i think we'll keep our coats on. i can see why. those guns, old american tradition? old west. please. well, if it'll make you happy. please, sit down. we would like to look around a bit. we've never been in a geisha house before. speak for yourself. oh, then we must show your friend the ancient tea ceremony. most traditional. shows virtues of hospitality, quiet contemplation, and feminine beauty. oh, well i'm all in favor of that. uh, i'm afraid we must postpone that pleasure for some other time.
