The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Page #2

Nevertheless, you're gonna have

to swallow it.

Where are we going with this?

Adrian.

Kuryakin.

What does that mean?

He said, "Don't kill

your partner on your first day."

I know what he said.

What does it mean?

The main ingredient

of an atom bomb is enriched uranium.

Dr. Teller was on the verge

of a breakthrough...

...which would massively simplify

this process.

Making it possible for almost anyone

to build a nuclear device.

We believe that the Vinciguerra

Shipping and Aerospace Company in Rome...

...where Miss Teller's Uncle Rudi

is a senior executive...

...is, in fact, the cover for an

international criminal organization...

...with ties to former Nazis.

The founder, Sergio Vinciguerra, was

a friend of Mussolini and a known fascist.

Rumor has it...

...Sergio was responsible

for smuggling the Nazis' gold...

...to South America after the war.

It is now run by his son, Alexander,

and his wife, Victoria.

Al, he's more playboy than tycoon.

But she...

Well, now,

she's something else altogether.

All our information indicates

a lethal combination...

...of beauty, brains and ambition.

She's the real fanatic.

Now that the old man is dead...

...she's running the show.

We believe they're responsible

for Dr. Teller's disappearance.

Now...

...imagine the consequences

if he builds an atom bomb for them.

We have no choice

but to work together on this.

Your mission is to infiltrate

this organization...

...and to retrieve Dr. Teller

and his research.

It will be located on a computer disk.

And whoever has that disk...

...will simply be the most powerful nation

in the world.

You, Solo, are to investigate Victoria

and Alexander Vinciguerra.

Our Russian friend will focus

on Miss Teller and her Uncle Rudi.

We'll leave you two to get acquainted.

Oleg.

Give my regards to Nina.

Obviously, I was briefed about you.

Your corrupt and criminal background...

...until you were caught and the CIA

blackmailed you into working for them.

But what interests me,

given your profile...

...is what would motivate you to become

the CIA's most effective agent.

I concluded it must be...

...to counteract the humiliation

of knowing your balls...

...are at the end of a very long leash

held by a very short man.

I'm sure you understand humiliation.

Better than most.

Really?

- How so?

- Well, after your performance last night...

...I thought I should read up on you.

Rather a sad story, what with your dad

being a big pal of Stalin's...

...and a top government official

with all the perks and privileges...

...right up until he was caught

embezzling party funds.

How old were you

when he was sent to the Gulag?
