I Dream of Jeannie (1965) s03e19 Episode Script

Genie, Genie, Who's Got the Genie? (4)

[.]
Jeannie? Oh, master, is that you? Oh, what day is it? It's It's Tuesday.
Exactly four weeks to the day that you got locked in that safe.
Now, d-d-don't worry about a thing.
I'm working on a way to get you out.
It is too late, former master.
[CHUCKLING.]
No, what are you talking about, it's too late? Former master? According to the laws of the Great Djinn, after a genie has been locked up for a full moon, she no longer belongs to her master.
Well, who does she belong to? Anyone who lets her out.
Do you mean, anybody? Just anybody that opens this safe? Anybody.
D-don't panic.
I'll find a way to get you out of there.
MAN: This way, gentlemen.
Oh, Jeannie, don't you let anybody open that safe.
BELLOWS: What are you doing here? There it is, men.
Oh, I was just checking on the moon safe, sir.
W-what are they doing here? Moving it out to a concrete-reinforced blockhouse.
BELLOWS: Carefully, men.
Now, remember, that has an explosive device.
I-I thought it was to stay here until it went up.
A slight change in plans.
We're opening it up.
Open it? Dr.
Wedemeyer thinks the explosive mechanism may be activated.
Exp Dr.
Wedemeyer? A Dr.
Friedrich Wedemeyer.
He's the Pentagon's top demolition expert.
He's arriving at 1:00 from Washington with the combination.
Sir, this is a NASA project.
I think the NASA personnel should follow through.
As a matter of fact, I'd like to volunteer to be the one That's out of the question.
It's far too dangerous.
That's why we're putting it in the blockhouse, and calling in Wedemeyer.
He's going to open the safe.
He's Yes.
This way, men.
[.]
[.]
[.]
I'm telling you, there isn't enough time.
Roger, there's gotta be.
Do you want Wedemeyer to be Jeannie's master? If we stop Wedemeyer from opening the safe, Jeannie will never get out, either way we lose.
Roger, we're a team.
In a crisis, we've been trained to be ingenious, self-reliant and cool.
I think I may panic.
I'm planning this very carefully.
The way I see it, this mission is in two phases.
Yeah.
First, one of us delays Wedemeyer.
Second, one of us steals the safe.
Which one do you want? I think I'll take number three.
No matter how you look at it, I mean, the whole mission's impossible.
Not if we use our heads.
Here's your operational plans.
You take phase one.
Every step is precisely outlined.
Memorize it.
Well, you really got this thing worked out Oh, wait, panel.
Oh, no, not me.
You realize what's gonna happen if we get caught doing that? No, not me.
You got it memorized? Yeah, I got it memorized but it'll never work.
Think positive.
Yeah, think positive.
We won't go through that.
I know what you're thinking.
All right, Roger.
What's the first thing you do? The first thing Here's a copy.
Here's your original.
What personal escort? I don't know what you're talking about.
You mean to tell me you're going to allow.
Dr.
Friedrich Wedemeyer, one of the most eminent scientists of our time, to come to Cocoa Beach on his own? Well, frankly, I didn't see the necessity, but now that you mention it Well, it's a great honor having him here, sir.
It's a great childhood hero of mine.
Oh, really? Yes, it's too bad I'm busy.
It's just an hour here by, uh To Washington by jet.
Well, I'd better be going, sir.
Just a minute.
Yes, sir? Maybe we should give him the VIP treatment.
Whatever you say, sir.
My plane is warming up.
Plane? What plane? I'm scheduled for two hours of flying time to stay qualified.
That's perfect.
What's perfect? Major, you will fly to Washington and pick up Dr.
Wedemeyer.
I'll phone to make the necessary arrangements.
Here's his number at the Pentagon.
But, sir There are no buts, major.
That's an order.
It worked.
I beg your pardon? Oh, nothing.
Whatever you say, sir.
Yes, sir, gentlemen? Two sticks, there you go, right here.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Change for a coin.
All right, one for you.
Yes, sir? Oh, watermelon.
Very, very good, good.
Yes, sir, same thing? Oh, very good, sir.
Right away.
There you go.
ICE CREAM MAN: Hey, ice cream here! Hey, ice cream! Ice cream here! Hey, hey, ice cream! Hi, how's business, Joe? Oh, couldn't be better, major.
I tell ya, the warmer it gets, the better it is for me.
What'll it be today, sir, the usual? Joe, I wanna buy your whole stock.
Whole stock? Major, you'll get sick.
Joe, I'm gonna need your help.
Can you take orders and not ask questions? Gee, ask my wife.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
Here's what I want you to do.
Yeah? [.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Oh, Dr.
Wedemeyer, my name is Roger Healey [GERMAN ACCENT.]
Shhh! Please! One drop too many of this, we could blow the whole building up in smoke.
Sorry, sir.
Two drops, and-d-d we could blow up Cleveland.
Oh, but three drops, wonderful for heartburn.
[CHUCKLES.]
You would like to have some? No, no, no, sir.
I'm Major Healey.
I'm, uh I'm your personal escort to NASA.
Oh, yeah, they told me that.
Look, I wanna warn you something.
I have a very weak stomach.
You know, with the flying, I don't do much of that.
Sir, y-you do have the combination to the safe? Oh, yes, I got it personal from the president.
I-Is it in there, sir? No, Mr.
Personal Escort.
In here.
Right this way, sir.
I tell you what.
It will be a nice, easy flight.
You'll have no problems at all, sir.
Thank you very much.
[.]
It's okay, major, nobody saw me.
Now, what's my secret assignment? Look busy.
Sell me something.
A malt-o-pop with a cherry in it? I don't care.
Sun-on-a-stick? I don't care.
How about a sandwich? Will you? Your first job is this.
Go to the movies.
Go to the movies? Here's a ticket to the Bijou.
That's at 5:42, at which time you'll find your ice cream cart at the south gate.
Got it? Got it.
Joe? Yeah? Enjoy the movies.
Major? Yeah? Enjoy the ice cream.
[.]
Jeannie.
Is that you, oh, beloved former master? Don't worry about a thing.
If everything goes as planned, you'll be able to call me master again.
Promise me that you will not let anyone else open this safe.
I-I promise, Jeannie.
Roger's making sure Wedemeyer doesn't even get here.
[.]
Say, Cocoa Beach is south.
Why do you flying west? Detour, sir, the bridge is out.
Heh? Bad weather, sir.
What are you talking about? Not a cloud in the sky here.
Downdraft, very dangerous.
Oh, that's Ohhh! That was one of them, sir.
Don't talk, just fly, please.
What are you doing? Jeannie, it's too complicated to explain right now.
From now on, I don't want you to say a word until I tell you it's safe.
Anything you say.
I say so.
Oh, uh, Joe, just a minute.
Hi, hi, colonel, uh, don't get too close.
I got a case of laryngitis.
Oh, I'm sorry, Joe.
Well, I'm a doctor, let me take a look.
No, no, it's all right.
I had my personal physician take a look.
He says it's gonna be okay.
I think I'll have, uh, a sundae today.
A sundae? Well, I'm fresh, uh Fresh out of sundaes, colonel.
Okay, then, let's make it a malt-o-pop.
Malt-o-pop? We had a big run on malt-o-pops, I'm out of them too.
Come on, you must have something in there for a regular customer.
I'll take a look.
No.
No, it's all Oh Uh, as a matter of fact, I do have something here.
Here, on the house, try that.
You're keeping one in your pocket? I've got to take it home to the kids.
You know how they are.
See you.
Enjoy it, will you? Thank you.
Out of gas, you dummkopf.
How could we be out of gas? Well, we got caught in a downdrift.
W-we drifted a little off course, sir.
Lucky we found the open field though.
Yeah.
Where are we? Well, we're about 100 miles west of the base, right? That's right, a hundred miles.
Look, I want to tell you something, major.
It is urgent that I am in Cocoa Beach to open that safe by 1:00.
Oh, yes, sir, I know You understand? I understand.
Why don't you sit down, and I'll call the base and have them send a helicopter? Yes, helicopter.
Send something.
Phone's over here, right? Yeah, back there.
[.]
[.]
Oh, Major Healey.
Major Healey.
Major Healey.
Oh, hi, Dr.
Bellows.
The tower just called me and said you landed.
Uh, where's Dr.
Wedemeyer? Dr.
Wedemeyer? Oh, we had a little trouble, sir.
He got airsick, and I had to set him down.
You set him down? Where? Oh, about 100 miles west of here.
What a foolish It's all right, don't worry.
I'm picking him up in my car.
We should be a few hours late.
Late? He can't be late.
He has to open that safe at 1:00, or it'll explode.
Well, I could have him here by Did you say explode? That's right, major.
That explosive mechanism is on a timer.
In two hours, it switches over to self-destruct.
And then it arms itself and poof.
You mean, in two hours the safe is going to go poof? That's right major.
Poof.
[.]
I tell you, that safe's not safe anymore.
That's a bomb.
It's 11:15.
We have exactly an hour and 45 minutes to disarm it.
I've got 11:10.
And we synchronize watches.
Roger, would you forget about that? What did you do with Wedemeyer? That's funny, I just had it cleaned.
I've never lost time before.
I can even hear it ticking.
[TICKING.]
That's not your watch.
That's the safe.
Oh, yeah.
Master, what is that noise? I am frightened.
Jeannie, don't worry about a thing.
We'll get you out before it goes off.
Where's Wedemeyer? About 100 miles west of here.
Get him, bring him here.
Yeah.
Uh, Jeannie, in case I don't get back in time Roger! Master, but what if Major Healey does not get back in time? He's got to.
ROGER: Dr.
Wedemeyer! Oh, doctor Where is he, sir? Who? The man I left here, Dr.
Wedemeyer.
Boy, he was sure mad.
You should've Where is he? Oh, he left.
Phone company truck gave him a lift.
Believe me, doctor, I can't imagine why Major Healey would do such a thing.
He said that you were his childhood hero.
Well, that's a fine way to show it, what he'd done to me in the airplane.
Look at me, I'm shaking.
Believe me, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this, I promise you.
Now, you're gonna get to the bottom.
Where was you when he was doing with me the loop-the-loop? Do you need any help, doctor? No, no.
Nobody goes in there when I work on that safe.
Including me.
I-I mean, you.
Open the door, please.
Thank you.
Okay.
[.]
Ice cream sandwich.
[CHUCKLES IN GERMAN.]
They're all crazies around here.
[WHISTLES.]
Another crazy.
Don't say anything.
The slightest movement could set it off.
Could set what off? An ice cream case? The earthquake.
My name is Nelson.
I'm with the NASA seismological unit.
We've discovered a major fault running directly beneath this blockhouse.
We've been receiving temblors all morning.
Under here you say there are faults? No.
Doctor, you know how sensitive these things are, as a scientist.
And naturally we've had to remove the safe.
Now, if you'd just walk towards me, please.
You mean, under here there are Doctor! The floor could open up and swallow you up immediately.
Now, come this way, please.
I don't think so.
I think I better go this way, because that fellow, you know, the colonel Stop! That's where the major stress is, by the door.
You're gonna have to come out the window, come on, please.
The window? Yeah.
In my age, with climbing the windows? Do you know you could give me the hardening of the arteries? [WEDEMEYER GRUMBLING.]
You can start on it right now, sir.
No, no, no, look.
P-please, major, I don't feel so good.
Better I sit down on We haven't got time to sit down.
In 15 minutes, this thing is gonna blow sky-high.
WEDEMEYER: All right.
Where will I sit? [TICKING.]
Major, you better evacuate the neighborhood.
Doctor, you give me the directions, I'll defuse the safe.
All right.
We'll try it.
We'll try it.
Then I take out everything, and I show you I say I show you.
You don't touch.
This is a schlager.
Yeah, I got that.
All right.
This you ought to know by yourself.
See, this is a transmitter.
Come, put yourself over here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This I put on here.
Yeah.
You take this here.
Look what I'm looking, can you? Yes, yes.
And you make it go on the surface of the safe.
Around the combination and keep it going there.
See, now, I watch on the scope.
And when you get to there, I say, "Halt, stop it.
" That is where we are going to drill, all right? Okay, okay.
Go, make that.
[BUZZING.]
Stop.
Hold it right there.
Now, you see what you done? You've got either, where the trembler device is.
And this is where we have to drill the hole, you see? Where? Wait, wait, I show you.
Go, again.
Now, you take this Make with a mark, there.
Yeah.
You see? All right.
Now, that shows you that you go in a two-inches diameter around the trembler device.
Yeah.
And if you miss as much as a fraction of a millimeter Don't worry about it, sir.
[SIGHS.]
Right here? I hope so.
[.]
That's good, good.
Hold it, here.
There's the drill.
Give me, I take that from you.
There's the drill.
Now, please with a steady hand, huh? [DRILL WHIRRING.]
There, that's got it.
All right, that's good, that's good.
Now, connect up the holes with this.
See the way it goes? Yes.
All right, but hurry.
We got five minutes.
Never mind what time it is.
Saw the hole.
[TICKING RAPIDLY.]
This thing's ticking faster.
That means we're getting close.
Saw faster.
[SAW WHIRRING.]
Good, good, good.
Very good.
Now, you take this suction cup, and put carefully on here, and it removes the trembler device.
Then I cut the wires.
You see that? All right.
It's 1:00.
Yeah, but that don't make no difference.
You go slowly now.
WEDEMEYER: Good, good.
Move some.
Easy.
Good boy.
[TICKING CONTINUES.]
Cut it.
Cut it.
It's 1:00.
Cut it! [TICKING SILENCES.]
Oh.
Jeez, I need a drink.
[PANTING.]
All right, I'll go get you something.
Please.
Now, we've got to get you open.
Four, four, yeah.
Nine.
Don't open that safe! Don't open it.
What are you talking about? It's already defused.
[TICKING.]
What do I hear? I hear some noise, something.
Major, there's something that's ticking in here.
There's another fuse.
There's another fuse.
Run.
I hear it, get out, get out, get out.
WEDEMEYER: Run! Jeannie.
You can come out now.
Come on out the hole.
Jeannie, come on, he's gone.
I got rid of him.
Jeannie? Jeannie.
Jeannie? All right now, let's be calm, I can open it myself.
I know the first two digits, he's already done them.
All I have to do is get the third one, right.
Now I don't know the third one.
I don't know the third digit.
I don't know the third digit.
[.]
What's the matter with me? I Wait a minute.
He's already dialed the first two digits.
And be calm.
All I need is the third digit.
All I have to do is try them all.
On the third digit, I'll dial everything.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven [CLICK.]
I heard a click.
Jeannie? Jeannie, I think that's it.
Jeannie, the number is four-nine-seven.
Four-nine-seven.
[LAUGHS.]
[LATCH CLICKS.]
[LAUGHING.]
That's it.
Jeannie, the number was four-nine-seven.

Hi, Roger.
Oh, boy, is it good to have you back.
Oh, it's good to be out.
Oh! Now, our problems are over.
I cannot believe it.
BELLOWS: That's where he goes.
Hurry, doctor.
Jeannie, out.
This time, gentlemen, you're really in trouble.
What kind of trouble? You stole that safe.
That safe? Oh, no, sir.
You see, when we found out that a major fault was running beneath the blockhouse and There are no faults or earthquakes in Florida.
