"Killer for Hire You Know Not Yourself" aka "Slow Hands" is a Man from U.N.C.L.E. Napoleon/Illya vid by Dr. Worm aka dearratboy. It was made available for download and uploaded to the vidder's YouTube page on August 16, 2008.
Vidder's notes: "I ended up being influenced by the real video for this song, which is something I don't normally like but it ended up rather tongue-in-cheek so... whatever. Also, about a year ago I made my first vid ever to an Interpol song (but it's kind of crap). I think I should just keep doing Interpol songs. I like them."[2]
Reactions and Reviews
This vid was recommended by theladyrose on Crack Van on August 30, 2008:
drworm gives the series a sharp, modern edge by pairing a decidedly contemporary song with an intriguing balance of heavy action and quirkily humorous clips. I'm normally not that into this sort of music, but drworm really makes it work and keeps the show feeling as fresh as ever.[3]

This is one of my all-time favourite The Man from U.N.C.L.E. vids, and I'm too embarrassed to confess how many times I've watched it. In my opinion, this vid embodies the strengths of the previous ones, and builds on them. There's the unorthodox selection of song and clips from the show that are merged together with perfect timing. This vid also has the same marvelous balance of action and tongue-in-cheek humour that the T.V. show did. The slowing and reversal of time was a wonderful addition that enhanced the surreal nature of a Dr. Worm vid. Finally, Slow Hands is a joyous celebration of the delicious chemistry between the two leads. If I tried to list all of my favourite parts, I'd end up describing the entire length of this vid. [4]
