You have to admit,
it was a pretty tasty setup, Bill.

1:07:05
Joan marries you as part
ofher agent's cover...

1:07:08
not realizing that you were
the very enemy agent assigned to kill her.

1:07:12
As elegant as it is brilliant.
1:07:24
Wait a minute.
1:07:28
You're saying thatJoan was sent
by Interzone, Incorporated to marry me?

1:07:32
Yeah. In fact, she was sent
to you by Fadela, who was her controller.

1:07:37
We did a lot of groundwork
to set you up in their files...

1:07:41
as the prime candidate for marriage.
1:07:43
And it didn't matter that
I didn't know anything about it?

1:07:47
An unconscious agent
is an effective agent, Bill.

1:07:50
The situation does generate
some ethical paradoxes at times.

1:07:55
I'm the first to admit that.
1:07:58
When you bugs first approached me...
1:08:03
one of your associates suggested...
1:08:06
thatJoan was possibly not human.
1:08:10
What did he mean by that?
1:08:12
Women aren't human, Bill.
1:08:15
Or perhaps more precisely...
1:08:17
they're a different species from men...
1:08:19
with different wills
and different purposes on Earth.

1:08:22
You know this instinctively, Bill...
1:08:24
and it's your instincts
that make you such a good operative.

1:08:29
I'm talking aboutJoan.
1:08:34
IfJoan Lee wasn't human...
1:08:37
what was she?
1:08:39
Well,Joan was a special case.
1:08:44
Joan was an elite-corps centipede.
1:08:50
Joan was a centipede.
1:08:59
Where's my Martinelli?
