"That's right." "That's baby food, sir." " I want to see it." " Why don't you..." "Sorry." "Why don't you ask Dalby for it?" " I don't want Dalby to know about it." " Why not, sir?" "Don't be impertinent, Palmer." " I want you to do a job for me." " Have I any choice?" "Frankly, no." "It's quite simple" " I don't want the file, I just want it microfilmed." "Hm?" "Sir." " Stick that in my B-107." " Very funny." " Excuse me, please." " Yes, of course." "So sorry." "There are other people, you know, Palmer." "Why don't you try them?" " Dalby's not to hear about this." " You've already said that." "Or your past might catch up with you." "You'll find yourself in a military prison." "Good morning." "Thank you." "Champignons?" "Nothing but the best for our Palmer." "You're working for Ross." "He sent you here." "Don't be silly." "I'm working for Dalby." "You're working for Ross." "I'm working for Dalby, you're working for..." "Oh, what the hell?" "Courtney, I am gonna cook you... the best meal you've ever eaten." "That was the most delicious meal." "Good." "Do you always wear your glasses?" "Yes." "Except in bed." "This is my itinerary for the weekend." "I want you to know where I am in case you become desperate to see me." " Considerate of you." " If you spent it with me, we would save ourselves both a lot of bother." "Yours, I take it?" "I'm sorry to spoil your weekend but we're working tomorrow." "Saturday?" " Grantby's discontinued number?" " Turn it over." " "The band of the Irish Guards. "" " And very good they are, too." "I think you'll find it most interesting." "I'll see you at the bandstand at..." "three o'clock." "What's this called?" "The Thin Red Line." "Good, patriotic stuff." "Got a proper rhythm to it." "Not quite your line, eh?" "I prefer Bach or Mozart." "You're lucky, Mozart next." "Oh, really?" "We are interested in a certain piece of scientific equipment." "The proto-proton scattering device?" "Quite so." "We understand that..." "you hold the sole rights." "I wouldn't say that I hold them personally." "A fine piece that." "Thank you." "The band of the Irish Guards would now like to play you a light and classical overture, this by Mozart" " The Marriage Of Figaro." "There's a delicacy and precision about Mozart's work." "Transcribes remarkably well from the orchestra to the military band." " Don't you agree?" " Oh, yes." "Of course." "I might be able to arrange those rights for you." "My principals are prepared to buy." "Shall we say 15,000?" "My dear sir, this is not a clearance sale." "I can get a much better price than that." "20, then?" "25." " Agreed." " Cash." "Here are the delivery arrangements." "Very neat." "Must we sit through any more of this torture?" "I have things to do." " I think they're playing very well." " Tell me who wins." "Look out!" "Congratulations, Palmer, you've just killed an American agent." "The CIA should have let us know they had a tail on Grantby." "Anyway, that'll teach them not to poach on our preserve." "Tell me, Dalby, how is Radcliffe?" "He doesn't remember being lifted." "Physically, he seems all right." "Just needs a few weeks rest." " Keep the S1 surveillance on him." " Mm-hm." "I'll put Palmer on him." "Do you think that's wise?" "You know your own business best, I suppose." "Ah." "Very good tea." "Good morning." "Thank you." "Well, did you find it interesting?" "Oh, yes." "Have you seen the collection of portrait miniatures?" " No." " No!" "Then we must go there tomorrow." "Yeah." "Sorry to keep you waiting, Palmer." "Bit of a rush but I think we'll make it." " Out of breath, doctor?" " I'm all right." "In you go." "My dear fellow, I'm delighted to see you looking so well." " I'm sorry I'm late." " Not at all." " Shall we begin?" " Certainly." "I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave it to you." "Ladies and gentlemen, you've probably all heard something on our scientific bush telegraph about Dr Radcliffe's proto-proton scattering experiments." "It is largely due to Dr Radcliffe that control of the fusion of hydrogen atoms, and all that means in terms of the world's energy resources, is getting appreciably nearer every day." "So it is with great pleasure that I ask Dr Radcliffe to give this symposium his account of the results of his latest work." "Thank you, Sir Robert." "Ladies and gentlemen... today I shall be dealing with a new meson production method... which stems from the result a new... meson production..." "A new... meson production... method..." "Dr Radcliffe, are you all right?" "Hold it right there." "Over against the wall." "Right, now, don't move a muscle." " I thought you British were subtle." " Very subtle, like you." " Trigger-happy, too." " What are you doing here?" " I'm tailing you." " Why?" "Because you killed one of our men." "Uh-uh." "Open it." " Why did you kill him?" " He came straight at me." "Yeah... that's what Dalby said." " What do you know about Grantby?" " Nothing." "Now get this, I'm gonna tail you till I know you're clean." "And if you're not clean..." "I'm gonna kill you." "Ah, there you are, Dalby." "We'll lunch at my club - we can walk there." "Good bit of lunch at your club, is it?" "Not bad." "The Dover sole's rather good." "Have you seen the medical report on Radcliffe?" "No." "The psychiatrist says he's suffering from some form of amnesia." "Physically, he's perfectly normal but he can no longer function as a physicist." "Apparently, that part of his life is a complete blank." "Scientist suddenly becoming non-productive, eh?" "Seems to fit in with your brain-drain idea." " Yes, exactly." " What's our next move, then?" "Grantby." "What sticks in my craw is that he sold us damaged goods." "I've sent Palmer to try and get the money back." "You don't think a man like Grantby will do the right thing?" "What shall I do?" "Pull him in, then?" "No, I wouldn't advise that." " Let's play him a little." " It's dangerous." " He could easily give us the slip." " Oh, we'll take that risk." "If you say so." " Incidentally..." " Hm?" "...the Americans have put a tail on Palmer." "How very tiresome of them." "If he's clean, he's got nothing to worry about." "And if he isn't, the Americans will take care of him - save us a lot of bother." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." " Major Dalby sent me to see you." " Indeed." " Too tired to come himself?" " No." "It seems that you've been slightly dishonest, Mr Grantby." " The goods you sold us were damaged." " I merely agreed to deliver him." "His condition is no concern of mine." "Nevertheless, we would like our money back." "No." "I am merely a pipeline." "You haven't been long in this business but you'll learn." "Harry." " What?" " Come here a minute." "What?" "Round here, I want to show you something." ""Induction of psychoneuroses" ""by conditioned reflex under stress."" "What does that mean?" "It means I know why 17 scientists ceased to function." " Yes?" " Look again, boy." "I-P-C-R-E-S-S." "Ipcress." " Have you got your car outside?" " Yes." "I'm going to see Radcliffe." "I want to try a wee experiment." "Take a look at it while I'm away." "Be sure to lock it up after you." "Right." "Hello, Pat." "This is Harry." "What is it?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Jock's dead." "He..." "He was shot in my car." "That American agent must have thought it was me." " You'd better move into my place." " Yes." "I'll go and get my things." "Come on, I'll drop you off." "Palmer here, Major, I must talk to you at once." "Very." "N..." "No, I can't talk on the telephone." "I must see you." "Yes." "Yes, I know T108." "I hope this won't take too long." "I have an appointment for dinner." "All right." "There's a dead American agent in my flat." " You killed him?" " Someone is trying to frame me." "Now, who would want to do a thing like that?" "Jock Carswell got somewhere with the Ipcress file and he showed it to me." "I am being framed by whoever killed him." " Can you prove any of this?" " The file was stolen from my desk." "By Grantby, of course." "No." " Ross." " Ross?" "He once asked me to microfilm the Ipcress file." " Why didn't you tell me before?" " He'd have put me back in jail." "What time does your cleaning woman arrive?" " About nine." " Gives you exactly 12 hours." "Leave me to sort this out." "You, lose yourself." "Someone is trying to frame me, you've got to help me." "But you're just too hot, Palmer." "Harry." " They might be watching for you." " I'll be watching for them." "I'll miss that train." "See you." "Colonel Ross, please." "'..." "leave platform 14 'will connect with the transcontinental express for... '... travelling via Prague, Budapest and Belgrade.'" "Thank you." "I'd like a word with you, sir." "Palmer's found a dead American agent in his flat." " Did he do it?" " He says not." "Claims he's being framed." " Where is he now?" " I don't know." "He also told me that you'd expressed an interest in the Ipcress file." "Your department has developed a remarkably high casualty rate." " I wonder why." " You better pick up Grantby." "I suggested that earlier." "Do it now, will you?" "Billets." "Billets." " Yes?" " Tickets, please." "Hey!" "Wait a minute." " Who are you?" " I'm a doctor." "Lie still, please." "What's wrong with these zombies?" "Can't they speak?" "You don't speak English in Albania." " Albania?" " The land of my fathers." "This... starving and freezing... won't work with me, Grantby." " No?" " No." "I can resist it." " I read the file." " I know." "That's why you're here." "We'll give him two more days then we'll start the treatment." "All right, zombie." "All right." "How are you feeling?" " You're the doctor, you tell me." " Do sit down." "He's ready." "The Gestapo and the MVD used to beat a man for months to get him to this state." "But it's old-fashioned and crude." "And so slow." "Relax." "Relax." "You are getting sleepy." "Relax." "Quite relaxed." "'Listen to my voice. '" "Nothing but my voice." "You will forget the Ipcress noise." "You will forget all about the Ipcress file." "'You will forget your name. '" "Harry Palmer." "My name is Harry Palmer." "You have no name." "Harry Palmer." "My name is Harry Palmer." "No name." "'My name is Harry Palmer." "Harry Palmer. '" "My name is Harry Palmer." "He's using pain to distract himself." "Get him down." "Put padding on the straps next time." " You want to make it easy for me?" " No." "For me." " He is difficult." " He'll respond." "Intensify the treatment." "Every time he falls asleep, wake him up and bring him here." "Ready." "Fit the rhythm of the sound and vision to his brainwaves, it'll make for a much deeper response." "Relax." "'Quite relaxed." "'Listen to my voice." "'Nothing but my voice." "'Relax." "Relax'." "Quite relaxed." "You are getting sleepy." "Your eyelids are getting heavy." "Heavy as lead." "'Heavy as lead." "'You will try but you can't open your eyes." "'You have forgotten the Ipcress noise." "'You have forgotten the Ipcress file. '" "You have forgotten your name." "'What is your name?" "'" "Now you will hear a voice say, "Now listen to me. "" "'You will always obey this voice. '" "'Now, listen to me." "Listen to me." "'You are here because you are a traitor." "'Listen to me." "'You are here because you are a traitor." "'A traitor who killed the agents of your allies." "'A traitor who stole the Ipcress file." "'A traitor who sold the Ipcress file to an enemy of your country." "'Now, listen to me." "Listen to me. '" "Now repeat after me," ""Whenever I hear the voice say, 'Now, listen to me,' I will obey. "" ""When I hear the voice say, 'Now, listen to me,' I will obey. "" "You will wake up when I count five." "You will forget what's happened to you but you will remember your name." "One, two, three, four... five." "He's responding very well." "Aah!" "Operator." "CC1 exchange." " Hello." " This is Palmer." "Where are you?" "In a call box at Austin's Wharf Lane." "Just a minute." "He's broken out." " Is he programmed?" " I'd have preferred more treatments." "Try him." "Now, listen to me." "Listen to me." "Are you listening?" " Yes." " Phone Colonel Ross and ask him to meet you at the warehouse then go back there yourself and I will meet you there." "'Now, listen to me." "Listen to me. '" "Do it now, then hang up and forget what I have just said." "Get those men out of the warehouse immediately." "Palmer?" "Palmer?" "Stop, Major." "Don't say a word or I'll kill you." "Shut the door." "Don't say a word, not a word." "Right, over here." "There." "Get back to the wall, under the light." "Put it down." " What the hell are you doing?" " Shut up." "Didn't tell me Dalby'd be here." "What has happened to you, Palmer?" "One of you knows exactly what has happened to me." "One of you is a double agent." "You're right, Palmer." "Who wanted you to microfilm the Ipcress file?" "I did that to test you." "Ross killed Carswell." "Don't be bloody ridiculous." "Ross couldn't have known that Carswell had cracked the Ipcress file." "Courtney told him." "Jean was working for you?" "Yes." "I'd suspected this one for some time." "It won't work, Ross." "You used Courtney just as you've tried to use Palmer." "Ross killed the CIA man." "He framed you." " You bastard." " Oh dear!" "You used to call me a passed-over major." "Now, listen to me." "Listen to me." "Shoot Ross." "Shoot the traitor... now." "I was counting on you being an insubordinate bastard, Palmer." "You used me as a decoy." "I might have been killed or driven stark, raving mad." "That's what you're paid for." "Thank you."
