Oh, my God,
it's the baby !

Oh !

Are you all right ?

I'm frightfully sorry.
It appears you've
missed your bus.

I'm terribly sorry.
I didn't--

You missed your bus.

I don't own a bus.
I'll buy you one.

Oh, how nice,
a rich Yank.
No thank you.

Well, if you don't want a bus,
would you like a cup of coffee ?

I don't drink coffee.
I drink tea.

There probably won't be
another bus along here
for quite some time.

Probably not.

You really drink
this stuff, don't you ?

No, we just like to pour it
into cups and stir it.
Why did you ask ?

Tastes too much
like boiled water.

It is boiled water.

I knew
there was a reason.

Where are you from ?

Chicago.
Chicago.

That's where gangsters
come from, isn't it ?
Not all of them.

Some of them come from
Detroit, New York. Chicago
happens to grow the best ones.

Are you a gangster ?
Twelve arrests,
no conviction.

Nobody's supposed to look
like that in a uniform.

Well, how am I
supposed to look ?
Like a short man.

Your boiled water
is getting cold.

Well, then let's order
some more.

Please.

All right.

What about you ?

What about
what about me ?

Who are you ?
What are you ?

I'm a short man.
I was born in London.

I lived here all my life
and most probably always will.

What do you do here ?
I work in a hospital.

Uh-huh.

I tell young men that
they're going to be all right.

Then they believe me
because they want to
because they're so young.

Then, I watch them die.

I want it to all end.

I'll win the war
for you.

That would be nice.

Are you stationed in London ?

No. Our base is
an hour and a half
from here.

Normally, I get a day
every couple weeks.

You're a pilot ?
Yeah, Mig-25s.

Do you like to fly ?

I hate to walk.

My name's Halloran.
What's yours ?

Tell me about America.

I think you're lovely.

Tell me about Chicago.

Chicago's very windy.
Something is happening here.

Please don't.
Please don't what ?

I have to go.
I don't want you to go.

I shouldn't be here.
Yes, you should.

I have to go.

Hey, please don't leave
like this.
I have to catch the bus.

I have to.
I wanna
see you again.

I can't.
Oh, please.

I just have a few hours
before I have to be back.

Please don't do this
to me.

We got to get
into a shelter.

I can't.
I really can't.
Why ?

You're trying to go away again,
but I'm not gonna let you.

I'm not gonna let you.

I-I can't think.
I have to go home now.

I'll take you there.
No, you can't.

I have to go.

Hey, my name's Halloran.
David Halloran.

I'm from Chicago.
I'm not gonna let you go.

Tell me your name.
I'm sorry.

You're in my arms,
you won't tell me your name ?

Oh, please, let me go.
I have to see you again.

My next day off
is in two weeks, Thursday.

I can't.
Meet me here.
Right here.

No.
On the same corner.

Right here.
I won't be here.

I will.
I'll be here all day.

Please don't.
I won't come.

I'll be here.

You can't act
like nothing's happened.
There's not enough time.

It's too late.

Now, the objective
this morning
in this airfield--

north, northeast
of Rouen.

Reconnaissance showed
we didn't do too well
here last night.

These dark circles here
are fuel storage tanks.

Now, they're under concrete,

so it will take
more than one direct hit
to knock them out.

Now again, the recon photos
show they didn't take
even one direct hit.

Now, we'll approach
from the east.

We'll have the sun
at our backs
and in their eyes.

Now, they've got
two fighters.
How come he says, "We" ?

He's not going.
We're "we."

Yeah.

We can expect light
to moderate flack.

We'll approach from 12,000.

The cloud cover
is 6 to 8,000.

We'll drop at 6,000.
I wish I were going
with you.

We'll stay,
and you can go.

Lieutenant Halloran,
something you wanna say ?
No, sir.

I'm sure none of us
want to miss whatever it is
you have to add, Lieutenant.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, what, Lieutenant ?

Yes, sir, I'm sure that
none of us would like to miss
anything I have to add, sir.

Except, I don't have
anything to add, sir,

so there's nothing
for any of us to miss, sir.

Takeoff is at 0800.
Good luck, gentlemen.

Light to moderate flack.
What the hell is
light to moderate flack ?

Less than heavy flack.

It's more than no flack.

You got a point there.

He wishes
he could go with us.

Well, somebody's got to
stay behind to volunteer us.

- This is radio check.
- Pilot to tail.
Farrell, okay ?

Everything's fine, sir.
Radio's okay. Ammo's okay.

Radio check.
Pilot to waist. Giler ?

Yes, sir ?
How we doin' ?

All set, sir.
Radio's okay. Ammo's okay.

Radio check.
Pilot to turret. Lucas ?

Yes, sir. Ready, sir.
Uh, ammo's okay. Radio's okay.

Bomb bay closed ?
Bomb bay closed.

Flaps locked ?
Flaps locked.

Cimino.

I don't understand it.

They make it so goddamn hard
to get in these things.

I don't even want to be here
in the first place.

I mean, I can understand
them making it hard to get out.

Everybody wants to get out.

You know these things
are made of metal, right ?

Did you ever try
and pick one up ?

You can't.
You know why ?

Because it's made of metal
and metal's heavy.

Very heavy.
You don't believe me ?

Just try and pick
one of these things up.

You'll see.
You'll wrench your back,
that's what you'll do.

Air isn't heavy,
you know ?

This pile of junk
is heavy.

It's heavier than air.
Much heavier.

Don't you see ?
This thing is not supposed to
be up in the air.

Aw, Jesus,
I hate these things.

Pacer Leader to Pacer Group,
we are 20 miles from target.

Descending to 6,000.
Bombs away at 6,000.

Roger, Pacer Leader.
Descending to 6,000.

This is Pacer Leader to Group,
maintain your positions.

We are 12 miles from target.
Rate of descent--
1,000 feet per minute.

Hey, they're
shooting guns at us.

Somebody forgot
to tell the Germans...

they're only supposed to
have light to moderate
flack today.

Bomb bay open.

Six miles to target.

Feather it.

- Number two feathered.
- Let's turn the hell back.

How far from target ?
Five miles.
Let's turn the hell back !

He's right.
We'll have to slow
to 200.

We'll be sitting ducks
at that speed.

We're gonna get
our asses shot off !

How far from target ?

Three miles.
Am I the only one
who's not crazy here ?

Hey, Cimino, you ever
take a look at Hyer ?

If there's a god,
he doesn't spend all that time
putting a guy like Hyer...

through prep school and Yale
to let him do something messy
like die in an airplane.

So, as long as we're in
the same plane as Hyer,

God's gonna have to figure
another way to get at us.

Yeah, I'm messy enough
to take Hyer down with me.

We're over the target.
We're over the target.

The wing is gonna fall off.
I'm gonna drop the bombs.

Let's get the hell
out of here.
Just a second.

Son of a bitch,
we're over the target !
The engine's falling off !

Hey, Chief,
what do you think ?

Well, I think it'll hold
if you wanna wait.

Terrific. We've got
Sergeant York on the plane.

I hate you, Lucas,
goddamn it !

Look, we're over
the goddamn target.
I'm gonna drop the bombs.

Let me drop the bombs.
We're over the target,
I swear to God.

My guess is
you may be sighting
a little bit early...

because you're afraid
the wing's gonna fall off,

so I'm gonna wait
just a few more seconds.

If anyone's interested, I hate
Lieutenant David Halloran,
Serial Number 057327--

9-6-9.
For God's sake,
let him drop the bombs.

If we don't hit
the stupid target now, we're
gonna have to come back again.

Okay, now we're really over
the goddamn target !

Well, drop the bombs !

They're away.

Oh, Jesus,
I hate these things !

I was there on the hollow
of the street for over
an hour, just watching you.

I was afraid, so I stayed
where you couldn't see me.

Are you still afraid ?

Yes.

It wasn't a few minutes ago
when we had something to do
like driving or walking,

but now I just feel
awkward again.

I don't know
what I'm doing here.

Yes, you do.

Yes, I do.

I'm not hungry anymore.

Neither am I.

I can get back to London
next Thursday.

Yes.

Tell me your name.
I can't.

Please.
No, I'm frightened.

It's all happening
so fast.

I bet your name
is really... Fred,
and you're embarrassed.

Hey, Fred...

I think I love you.

Yes.

Pacer Leader to Pacer Group,
we are 20 miles from target.

Begin your descent now.
Bombs away at 8,000 feet.

Ten thousand.

Open bomb bays.

Bomb bays open.

Hey, they're shooting guns
at us again.

How come every time
we fly over them,
they shoot guns at us ?

Because we drop bombs
on them.

They have no sense of humor.
Can't you guys take a joke ?

- Nine thousand.
- Five miles to target.

How far is target now ?

Three miles.

Altitude ?
8,500.

We're just about
over the target.

Altitude ?

8,200.

8,100.

- Cimino, drop 'em.
- Now ?

They're away.
Halloran, I love you.

There is a god.
There really is a god.

Ladies and gentlemen,
there really is a god.

I'm gonna go to church
as soon as we get back.

Oh, I haven't been there
in a little while.

What kind of babies
do you get when you cross
a parakeet with a tiger ?

I give up.
What kind of babies ?

I don't know, but when he sings,
you better listen.

You think
that's terribly funny,
don't you ?

Yes.
You're a wretched
little child.

If I am,
it's your fault.
Really ? Why ?

Mrs. Thomas said today that
children are the reflection
of their parents.

Do you think that's true ?
I don't know. If it is,
how come Dennis Caine...

doesn't have a mustache
like his father ?
He's a reflection of his mother.

Dennis calls his mother
and father by their names.
I think that's smashing.

Oh, you do.

I'm getting a little too old
to keep on calling you
Mommy and Daddy.

You don't call me
Mommy and Daddy.
You call me Daddy.

I'm serious.
I think from now on
I shall call you Paul.

If that's what you'd like.
Yes, Paul, that's
what I would like.

I think that from now on
I shall call you Margaret.

And I think from now on
I shall call you Rover.

- I think I'll call you Mommy.
- For a very short person,
you're not bad at all.

More tea ?
Love some.

Judy Fox stole my key chain,
the one with the four-leaf
clover.

Stole it ?
Yes.

How do you know
she stole it ?

I brought it to school--
I always carry it--

and when I was getting
changed after hockey,
I couldn't find it.

And then later,
she had it.

When I told her it was mine,
she said she always had it.

I wasn't the only person
who had a four-leaf clover
key chain.

And I know it's mine.
She's really a nit.

Everybody's supposed to be
nice to her just because
her father died.

When did her father die ?
A few months ago.
He was in the hospital.

She said it was
her key chain, and it isn't.

I'm glad you're intelligent
and you won't get killed.

I'm in Intelligence.
I'm not intelligent.

And you should be
especially kind to her now.

You won't die,
will you, Daddy ?

I thought you were
gonna call me Paul ?

Promise me.
I promise you.

- And you will always love me ?
- I will always love you.

- And you will always
love Mommy ?
- I will always love Mommy.

- Even when you're 80 ?
- Yes.

I will have to
take my false teeth
out of the glass...

and put them in my mouth
to kiss her.

Now, we're going back
to Rouen today.

I think
I'm going to be sick.

We have reason to believe
the Krauts are sending a train
of ammunition from Rouen, south.

Now, they're gonna be
expecting us.
It's not gonna be easy.

- We reckon we'll get
a lot of flack.
- I'm definitely gonna be sick.

Halloran, you fly lead.
Patman, you fly second lead.

Now, we got cloud cover
from 8-10,000.

Scattered clouds from 15,000.
You make your drop at 6,000.

Now, I know what
it's going to be like,
so be careful.

"He knows what
it's gonna be like."

He flew 100 missions
over Lackland, Texas, and he
knows what it's gonna be like.

Now, we should have
five to ten-mile visibility
below 8,000,

and you make your approach
from south to north.

You gotta hand it to him,
nobody ever took Texas
while he was there.

Takeoff is at 0830.
Good luck, men.

I wish I could have
gone with you. Dismissed.

Lieutenant Halloran,
I'd like to speak with you
for a moment.

Take it easy with him.
Don't say anything
you'll regret later.

Don't take it easy with him.
Say something
you'll regret later.

Maybe we'll get grounded.

Sit down, Lieutenant.

You know, in every group of men,
there's always one man...

the others look to
for leadership.

Now, in this group,
you happen to be that man.

You set a good example,
the others will follow.

You know, you've got the makings
of a very fine officer.

You could go far.
You could go very far.

It's your attitude
that concerns me.

Now, you understand
what I'm saying ?
No, sir.

I don't like you either,
buster.

Now, you stop crapping around
in the briefings,
you understand ?

No, sir.

What do you mean, "No." ?

No, sir.
I don't understand, sir.
What's "crapping around," sir ?

You're a wiseass.

You even say "sir"
like a wiseass.

How should I say
"sir," sir ?

I'm gonna get you.
That's what I'm gonna do.

Blink the wrong way
and I'm gonna nail you.
Do you understand ?

Yes, sir,
you're gonna nail me.

Will you get the hell
out of here ?

You okay ?
Yeah.

What did he say ?
He said he didn't like
my attitude.

Lucas, did you
check this gear ?
I checked it, sir.

I checked all of them
like I always do.
Tire pressure ?

Fine, sir ?
What's the matter, sir ?
You've never done this before.

Check them again.

I like this attitude.

It's different,
but it's one fine attitude.

When I was a little girl,
I used to spend summers
at my grandfather's.

It looked exactly like this.
You worked on a farm ?

Yes, why ?
I don't know.

You just don't seem
like the farm type to me.
I can milk a cow.

Her Ladyship
can milk a cow ?
She can.

With her very own hands ?
No, with her feet.

Why do you find it so incredible
that I can milk a cow ?
Lots of people can.

Haven't you ever
milked one ?

I opened a bottle once.
Don't they drink milk
in Chicago ?

Sure. How do you think
baby gangsters grow up
to be big gangsters ?

There's a place
to eat over there.
You hungry ?

Famished.
Good. So am I.

I want some tea.
I love tea.

Did I ever
tell you that ?
No.

Well, it's true.
I drink it all the time.

Halloran ?

Yes.

I love you.
My name is Margaret.

No kidding ?

No kidding.

You love me ?

I love you.

Your name's Margaret ?

My name's Margaret.

Maggie.
I love the name Maggie.

I can't stop it, you know,
no matter how hard I try.

It terrifies me
how much I want you.

It must be wrong
to want somebody
this urgently.

I know later
that I'll feel guilty.

Later, I'll hurt terribly.

Except I'm with you now
and that's all
I can think about.

I love you, Margaret.

I love you, Halloran.

Captain Sellinger,
I believe you've met
Captain Lester ?

Yes, sir, I have.

New tobacco.
Do you like it ?

Yes, it seems
quite pleasant.

Aromatic.

Bad business.
Very bad.

- Beg your pardon ?
- Captain Lester.

As you know, two months ago,
one of your agents, Reed,
was dropped in Lyons.

Two weeks later,
he was killed.
Yes ?

A month ago, you sent
another agent in.

Forbes. A good man.
Quite.

Yesterday,
we received word that
Forbes has been found dead.

What do you think ?

I trained
both of those men.

I knew them well.
Very well.

They-- They were not
the kind of men
to make mistakes.

Especially mistakes so glaring
they would be found out
in two or three weeks.

There's a leak.
There has to be a leak
somewhere.

The identity of those men
had to have been known
before they were dropped.

It would take that long
just to find them.

There's a double agent here,
fairly high up, I'd say.

It's the only explanation
I can have.

I agree.

The last communication
we received from Forbes...

was that, uh,
gestapo headquarters in Lyons...

has a list of double agents
in London.

He said he was going to
get that list. That's
the last we heard from him.

This stuff is bloody awful.
It may smell good.
It tastes like hell.

Well, it's obvious
we're going to have to send
somebody in to get that list.

- In gestapo headquarters
in Lyons ?
- That's where the list is.

That's where our man
will have to go.

- He had three children.
- Did you say something ?

I was saying that Forbes
had three children.

Yes. It's obvious we're
going to have to do this
differently this time.

No one, I mean no one
outside of this room
may know of it.

No one in O.S.S.
No one in G-2. No one.

Our man can't even
transmit the list back.
Once he gets it,

he must make a copy of it
and bring it back without
the Germans knowing about it.

Who do we have ?
I've narrowed the list
to two--

McCallum and Wells.

I say Wells.
Quite right.

You will work with him.
I'm not sure if he's ready.

You make him ready.

Oh, that's better.
They can take that aromatic
and put it in their noses.

Oh, God, I think
I'm going to die.

Of what ?
Look, Mommy,

isn't she beautiful ?
Yes, she is.

Isn't she
the most beautiful thing
you ever saw ?

No.
Who's more beautiful
than she is ?

You are.

She can close her eyes,
and you can curl her hair.

Yes, she's a wonderful doll.

Let's think of what
to get Daddy for Christmas.

I suppose there's no reason
in particular that you wanted me
to see that doll.

No reason in particular.

It has nothing
to do with Christmas ?

Of course not. Mommy,
when am I going to get breasts ?

Next Tuesday. Why ?
I don't know.

Sometimes I think
they look silly.

Well, they do look best
with formal wear.

What would Daddy like ?

I think he'd like
anything you'd get him.

I want to get him
something special.

Uh... how about a tie ?

A tie's nice,
but Daddy has ties.

Daddy has most of
the things we've seen.

I want to get him something
that he doesn't have.

Well, get him a dress.

Just get him something you like.
Daddy will love that
because it's from you.

Not because it's blue or red,
but because it's from you.

Mommy, do you know
any Germans ?

Uh, not too many.
What are they like ?

I don't really know.
Probably very much like us.

Do you think
there are German children
buying Christmas presents...

for their fathers
right now ?
Yes, I suppose so.

Handkerchiefs !
Let's get Daddy handkerchiefs !

I can never get over the way
it looks like the propellers
are spinning backwards.

Backwards ? The propellers
are spinning backwards ?

Forget it.
Forget it ?

The goddamn propellers
are spinning backwards.
I'm supposed to forget it ?

It's an optical illusion.
I was simply saying--
Forget it !

Optical illusion, my ass.
How do you know forward from
backwards with a propeller ?

When we take off for France,
if we land in New York,

the propellers
are spinning backwards.

- I hope they're
spinning backwards.
- Tower, this is Leader. Over.

Leader, this is Tower.
Over.
Starting to taxi. Over.

Roger, Leader. Over.
Just my luck.
They're spinning forward.

Want me to take it up
for you ?

No.

Listen to number one.
Why, what's wrong ?

I don't know. Something
doesn't sound right.

Leader, this is Tower.
Over.

Just one second, Tower.
Over.

Check the RPMs.
RPMs normal.

Oil pressure ?
Leader, this is Tower.
Over.

Lucas, are you hearing
number one ? Something
doesn't sound right.

Can't tell from here, sir.
Did you check the gauges ?

The gauges are okay.
I can't tell from here.

I hear something wrong.
I hear everything wrong.

Something's not right.

The gauges
don't always show it.

Leader, this is Tower.
Please answer. Over.

Tower, this is Leader.
Over.

Begin your takeoff.

I-I got a problem
with my number one.
I'm coming back. Over.

Repeat that please, Leader.

I got a problem
with my number one. Over.
I'm coming back.

Uh, Roger, Leader.
You are returning to base.

Patman, you're
the new leader. Over.

Roger, Tower. Over.

Price, you become
Patman's number two.
Patterson, please follow Price.

Patman, you are clear
for takeoff. Over.

Roger, Tower.
Clear for takeoff.

Now listen, you creature,
it's very late.

If you want Christmas morning
to come, you'll have to
go to sleep now.

But I can't sleep.
I know that,
but you have to.

Father Christmas
will not bring you anything
until you're asleep.

Why ?
It's the rules.

I just want to
say hello to him.
He's busy.

Will the Germans shoot him
while he's flying ?

No, no, of course not.

I don't care what I get.
Well, I mean, anything
will make me happy.

Of course. There's
nothing in particular
that you want.

Oh, no, nothing in particular.
Anything will make me happy.

Uh, it would be nice, though,
if I had a little friend
of my own to play with.

I'll have another baby.

You know what I mean.
Not a real person,
just a-- Well, you know.

I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about.

Now, good night,
old friend.

Dream the sweetest dreams.
Tomorrow is Christmas.

If you don't go to sleep now,
I'll strangle you.

Well, young lady,
if you're not tired,
I am.

Wait till you see
what I got you.

If it's from you,
I'll love it.
Good night.

Good night.

I'm sound asleep.

Did you put her present out
for tomorrow ?

Yes. It's
right in the middle
of the living room.

Her glazed little eyes
staring at the window.

What is it she wants
with another doll ?

God knows.

I've never seen a child
want anything more than
she wants that doll.

Sarah's hands
are so small.

I don't know, during the day
when she's rushing around
like a maniac,

she doesn't seem so small.

But when she's in her bed
and she's sleepy,

I think she shrinks.

I know what you mean.

It's so strange.

It's Christmas Eve,
and we're fighting a war.

Fighting wars never seemed
to make much sense.

Just seems it makes less sense
on Christmas Eve.

I wonder what the other side
is thinking right now.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

I love you.

I love you.

Harriet, you have
a beautiful throat.
Do you know that ?

My name is Phyllis.
Of course it is.

You have
a beautiful throat too.

Do you want to dance ?
Susan, my darling,

ordinarily that would be
a wonderful suggestion.

Under certain conditions,
I am your actual Fred Astaire.

However,
since the injury--

What injury ?

I don't like to
talk about it.

I didn't know
you were wounded.

Just a little shrapnel
in the leg.

How come they
didn't send you home
if you were wounded ?

They wanted to.
I wouldn't go.

Nothing will keep me
from flying.

Oh, Lieutenant,
that's really very, very--
Paula, my sweet--

Paula,
it's really nothing
to make a fuss about.

Sometimes the pain--

What's life without pain,
I always say.

How about another
little drinky, huh ?

Hey, Cimino.
Hyer. Hello, Hyer.

Listen, listen,
you gotta help me.

Have you met Barbara ?
Phyllis !

Have you ever seen
such a throat ?
Listen, Jerry.

I got this one all primed.
Except she won't leave
her friend alone.

Hyer, you know, I've always
harbored a suspicion that
blue eyes don't see so good.

Too much inbreeding.

Have you-- Have you taken
a good look at Dorothy ?

What am I gonna do ?

How about Halloran ?
Give one to Halloran.

I don't think so.
Come on.
It's a terrific idea.

Come on, Rita.
We're gonna all go over
and be with Halloran.

Hey, I thought you had
an injured leg.

My God,
I can walk again !

Ladies,
this is our leader.

Leader,
these are our ladies.

This is Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, meet Halloran.

Hello.

This is Audrey.
Phyllis !

Where are you from ?
Illinois.

The decorations
are very pretty, aren't they ?
Yes.

Let's go somewhere
we can be alone.

I want to stay here.

It's Christmas, and I am
your actual serviceman
alone overseas.

I want to stay here.

Marion,
perhaps you are a spy.

Hey, are you all right ?
Yeah.

Let me put it another way.
Let's fool around.

Okay.
There is a god.

They're back.

- Where's Patman ?
- He'll be here in a minute.
Don't worry.

- Who's Patman ?
- Patman, my luscious Linda,

is the brave soul
who flew lead instead of us
this fine day,

because of a port engine
with the holiday spirit.

He'll be here
in a minute.

Hey, Beef.
Oh, Halloran.
How you doing ?

How did it go today ?
Not so good.
We lost three.

Yeah, you are one
lucky son of a bitch,
let me tell you.

Where's Patman ?
Where's Patman ?
One lucky son of a bitch.

I never saw
an airplane break up
into so many little pieces.

Where's Patman ?
He took a direct hit.

It must have been
right in the bomb bay
with a full load.

Maybe he bailed out.
Not a chance.

I never saw so many
little pieces.

Hey, where's
that Cimino, huh ?
I wanna tell him.

If it hadn't been for that
engine of yours, it would have
been you instead of Patman.

I wanna tell Cimino to go kiss
that engine of yours.

Hey, what's the matter ?

You heard it, didn't you ?
The port engine,
something was wrong.

Sure. Come on. Sit down.
You heard something wrong,
didn't you ?

Every time an engine starts up,
I hear something wrong.

It was something.

It was.

Ladies, let's all play
follow-the-leader.

Come on, Francine.

You found it, didn't you ?
Lieutenant ?

You found it, goddamn you.
You found it, right ?
I don't know yet.

Tell me you found it,
you jerk !
Take it easy !

He heard it !
Take it easy.

Excuse me, Flo.
Don't go away.

Hi, guys.
I heard it.
I heard it !

Come on.

I heard it.
I heard it, believe me.
Patman, I heard it !

I thought
we were gonna play.
No, we're not gonna play.

Believe me, Patman !
I heard it, Patman !

Goddamn you !
Goddamn you, Patman !

Keller. Helmut Keller.

Essen.

1908.

Major.

Ruth.

Carl.

Please, don't smoke.

Lieutenant Wells,

English is a language
you do not understand.

You have never spoken
a word of it in your life.

They didn't teach you
English in Essen.

You must never speak in English
or respond to English,
even around here.

No matter
who is talking to you,
if it is in English.

You do not understand.

I don't care
if it's the P.M. himself
who's talking to you.

One slip like that,
and you're quite dead.

All right, lesson over.

It's time we took a break.

Don't be discouraged.
You're doing fine. Just fine.

Come on.
I'll pay for the tea.

Come on.
It's all right.

Lieutenant Wells,
class is over
for the afternoon.

Sometimes
when we're together,

I feel so close
that I don't know
where I end and you begin.

I never knew
it could be like that.

I was 19 when I got married.

He was the only man
I'd ever known.

I never felt I lacked anything,
it's just that I wasn't sure
if this was it.

If this was everything.

Maybe that's why I went
with you that first day
at the bus stop.

It's so damned unfair.

I try so hard to forget you.
I really do.

I wind up spending
more of my time
trying to forget you,

which is the same as thinking
of you all the time.

I don't want to hurt
anybody. I don't want to
do anything wrong.

Sometimes I sit across
the dinner table from him,
and I watch him.

And I want him so desperately
to do something...

or say something
or be something
that I can hate.

But he never does.

I've hurt him so much.

It makes me hate myself.
I wish I'd never met you.

But then
when I'm with you...

and it's so strong,
and I don't ever
want to let you go.

Why don't things work out
the way they're supposed to ?

I don't know how things
are supposed to work out.

I don't know anymore
what I heard in that engine.

A couple of months ago,
the whole propeller
could have fallen off,

and I wouldn't
have gone back.

It's so damn easy to be brave
when you haven't got anything
to lose.

I'm scared now.
I don't want to die
and not see you anymore.

Nothing makes any sense
until I'm with you, and then
everything makes sense.

I don't wanna let you go.
I just wanna be with you
all the time.

I don't want to wake up
in the morning and not know
if I'm going to see you ever.

I'm tired of missing you,
and I don't even know
your last name.

I'm all in pieces.
I want you to put me
back together.

Hold me now and make
everything outside
go away.

On the way in to see you,

I was trying to think
of a way...

to tell you that we shouldn't
see each other anymore.

I did the same thing.

Now, here you have
your two main types--

your combination lock
and your key lock.

Now, with your combination lock,
which works on what we call
a series of tumblers,

first you have to find out
whether it's a three
or a four-number combination.

And then whether you first move
to the right or the left.

If it's your key lock,
it's just the matter
of finding a proper key.

In the absence of a key,
a problem which has confronted
many folks,

there are certain
very delicate instruments
that do a right proper job.

And then, why it's just a matter
of learning how to use them.

How long will it take
to learn to open one ?

Well, I-- You got to
understand that, uh,

opening these things
is not something
any old bloke can do, you know.

It's what you might call a gift,
even if I do say so myself.

Well, let's say that
Lieutenant Wells is gifted.

Well, if it's a key lock,
a couple of days.

If it's a combination lock,
I'd say about six months.

Well, the safe
we're interested in
is a Kohner 3-3-5.

That's a Gerry safe.
Yes, Harry.

- You may have noticed we're
at war with the Germans.
- You've got a point there.

- Which is it ?
- Well, you're in luck.

It's a key lock.
Any school kid could crack it.

As a matter of fact,
I cracked one almost like it
when I was a school kid.

Right. Now, gentlemen,

here you have before your eyes
your lock pick.

And you have here your safe,
which is almost the same
as your Kohner 3-3-5.

Now, you insert your lock pick
into your Kohner 3-3-5.

Feeling your way
through the elements.

For your personal information,
there happen to be four.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Apple pie.
Bleedin' apple pie.

Hey, nice to see you,
Lieutenant.

Nice to see you, sir.
Why don't you sit down ?

I have a little problem.
It's a mission.
A special mission.

The group sent down word
that they needed a volunteer.

Now, it is considered
a bit risky, so they wanted to
put it on a voluntary basis.

It's for tomorrow night.
Oh, about the other day.

I checked with the mechanic.
It's strange.

He couldn't find a thing wrong
with that port engine.

Now, if you felt
there was something wrong,
well, I'm sure there was.

If you heard it--

Look, a mechanic's
not a pilot, right ?

I don't listen
to any kind of rumor. Never.

Sure there's been
a lot of talk around.
You know what a base is like.

You can't pay any attention
to that kind of talk.

Look, I don't believe
for a moment...

that you made the whole thing up
about that engine.

Not a word.
Just gossip.

Now where was I ?
Oh, yeah.

That mission tomorrow night.

Now, I knew... that you'd
want to volunteer to do it.

It's not that you've got
anything to prove.

I just felt that
you'd like to go for it.

Now, I told Operations...

to have those engines
double checked.

So, I'm quite sure
you won't be disappointed
and have to cancel that flight.

- Is he ready ?
- I think he's as ready as he ever will be.

What do you mean by that ?

I can't be too specific.
There's nothing wrong
with Wells,

he does everything the way
he's supposed to.

I'd simply prefer him to be
a bit more spontaneous.

Spontaneous ?
Well, once you teach him
something he learns it.

However, I'm not totally sure
how he will react...

if something occurs
that he isn't prepared for.

Well, then, let's hope
you prepare him for everything.

Well, that would be nice.

New stuff, this ?
It's supposed to be
a cooler smoke.

We're not going
to send Wells
on a regular flight.

Afraid we have to be
a bit paranoid about
the leak in Intelligence.

We're going to drop him
in a totally different way.

If this stuff is supposed
to be cool, I'd hate to think
what they call hot.

No, we're not going to use
Intelligence for the flight.
Chaps don't even know about it.

We're not even going to use
a transport aircraft.

As a matter of fact,
we're not even going to use
a British aircraft.

I say, Sellinger,
would you mind coming with me
across the street ?

There's a tobacconist
over there.

Hello, how are you feeling ?
Fine, thank you.

Hello, handsome.
Hello,
what's it today, then ?

I do hope
you like potatoes.

Your dinner is served, milord.
I think I'll take it
in the study, thank you.

Very good, milord.

There's a phone call
for you, Margaret.
Where ?

The nurses' station.
Thank you.

- Hello ?
- Hello ? Hello ?

I can't hear you,
it's madness here.
Is that you, Paul ?

Yes. Yes.
Can you hear me now ?

- It's better, but you'll
have to speak up.
- Is this all right ?

It's fine.
Is anything the matter ?
No, no nothing.

I had no special reason
for calling. I'm sorry
if I disturbed you.

I just wanted to hear
your voice, that's all.

Don't be silly,
you haven't disturbed me.
I'm glad to hear your voice too.

- I love you, Margaret.
- I love you too.

I know
I'm not that special.
What are you talking about ?

- Of course you're special.
- Oh, no, I'm not,
and we both know it.

It's just my curse to be
so damned ordinary.
Paul ?

I do so want--
I do so want to be dashing.

It's not that I don't want
to be, but I can't blame you
for finding me unexciting.

Paul, I don't know why
you're talking like this.

You're very special,
and very dashing.

Mrs. Sellinger, ward four,
please.

I-I didn't mean
to disturb you.

Paul, I'm so glad
you called, but--
Mrs. Sellinger, ward four.

Paul, I'm sorry,
I have to go now,
they're calling me.

I understand, darling,
I'll talk to you later.

I love you.
Paul ?

Yes, Captain Sellinger ?

Will you get me Lieutenant Wells
on the line, please ?

- Hey, it's dark out.
- No kidding ?

No, really,
I wouldn't fool you.

Why are we the only plane
taking off ?

'Cause we got
a special mission.

Lucky us. You know,
when it's dark out,
you can bump into things.

I'll be real careful.
Hey, Cimino, where are
the bombs ?

There's no bombs onboard.
We're a bomber,
we're supposed to drop bombs.

Where are the bombs ?
No bombs. I like that.

You know, bombs are dangerous
on account of the fact
they can blow up.

Both of you
shut up, will you ?

We're waiting for
an English guy named Wells.

We're going to drop him
instead of bombs.

I like that. Dropping
a person instead of a bomb
on account of the fact...

that people don't blow up
the way bombs do.

Starting port engines.
Starting port engines.

How do they sound, sir ?

They sound fine, Giler.
Even if they don't sound fine,
they sound fine.

Wonder where the hell
that English guy is.

It's dark out.
Maybe he's not so stupid.

Is this Wells ?
No, there's been a change
of some kind.

Are you Captain Sellinger ?
Captain, Lieutenant Halloran.

Hello ?
Mommy, Mommy.

Hello, darling.
Oh, your hair smells nice.

Mrs. Clarin washed it for me
and got soap in my eyes.
Did you cry ?

Wouldn't you cry
if Mrs. Clarin got soap
in your eyes ?

Yes, I think I would.
Where's Daddy ?

He came home early,
then went out again.

Mrs. Clarin gave me dinner
and was just putting me
to sleep when you came home.

Did he say where
he was going ?
He left a note on the pillow.

I think that's romantic.

What does Daddy say ?
Is it mushy ?

Daddy has to go away
on a little trip.

When will he be back ?

Soon... very soon.
Will he bring me something ?

Your coat's all wet.
I did a painting of
Tyrannosaurus Rex in orange.

Have you ever seen an orange
Tyrannosaurus Rex ?

Come, Mommy, look at it.
Mommy, come on.

Listen, I don't mean to be
pushy, but you know that
Englishman we got onboard ?

He isn't an Englishman,
he's your actual Kraut.

You can tell by the
little lightning bolts
on his collar.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.
We decided the Germans
can't lose.

We're going to be
on their side now.
Oh, good. I like the uniforms.

- Captain Sellinger,
you okay ?
- Quite well, thank you.

We're over the French coast,
we'll try and avoid
any German position.

I'm beginning to think
this isn't such
a crazy mission.

When the times comes, we'll
remove the belly hatch
where you'll drop through.

Remember to keep your arms
tight to your body until
you're clear of the props.

I shall remember,
thank you.

Oh, Jesus Christ !

How bad is it ?
How bad is it ?

No. It's a mistake.

You're not supposed to die.
Please, stop it.

It's all a mistake.
Lieutenant Halloran ?
Are you all right ?

We're hit up here, bad.
I don't know if
I can keep it flying.

I'm afraid we've been hit
back here.
How bad ?

Rather bad, I think
they're both dead.

Lucas ? Giler ?

Cimino ? Cimino !

Oh, Cimino. Don't do this.
Please don't.

My God.
He has no face.

The two men back there,
they're dead.

He has no face.

Keep your hands tight.
Don't pull the ring
till you're clear.

It's like somebody took
a vacuum cleaner
and straightened out the mess.

They're all gone.

It's not right.
Should've left a mark.

I'm really sorry.

I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry
I caused all this.

It's not your fault.

Do you know
where we are ?

About 20 miles south
of Lyons.

Well, that's where
I have to go.

I gotta make my way
to the channel.
It's the other direction.

Good luck.
Thank you.

And thank you
for everything.

I beg your pardon, Lieutenant.
Lyons is north of here,
you say ?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Uh, I hate to impose on you,
but, you happen to know
which way is north ?

Yeah, that way.
Thank you again.

Oh ! Damn.

I say, Lieutenant Halloran,

I'm really sorry to be
such a burden to you.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind
giving me a hand ?

It's probably sprained.
It's not broken, it's going
to be sore for awhile.

You mind if I ask you
a question ?
Not at all.

I was wondering,
seeing as how you don't know
north from south,

and you can't take
ten steps without falling
on your ass...

I was wondering,
have you ever done anything
like this before ?

Well, now that you
mention it, no.
Wonderful.

Well, you look real spiffy
in the uniform.

I don't want to go
with you, you know.
Not one bit.

You don't know
what the hell
you're doing.

And I certainly don't know
what the hell I'm doing.

But here I am,
as we speak, going with you.

We're going to get
our asses shot off.

Well, I'm really grateful
to you. I really am.

That's just swell.

- Hello ?
- Mrs. Sellinger ?

This is Major Trumbo.
Oh, my God, it's Paul.

Is he all right ?

The plane he was on
was shot down.

I have no more information
than that at this time.

However, it's quite possible
that he bailed out
and he's absolutely fine.

I just don't know right now.
Mrs. Sellinger, are you there ?

Yes.
As soon as I learn
anything more,

I will be sure
to call you.

Your husband's a good man,
intelligent. I'm certain
he's all right.

I just can't understand
why he went in place of Wells.
Can't understand it at all.

Not like him to be
so impulsive.

I'll call you
as soon as I learn anything.
I'm sure he's fine.

Mrs. Sellinger,
are you there ?

Thank you.

Thank you for calling.

Mommy,
is everything all right ?

Mm-hmm.

How far do you think
we've gone ?

How am I supposed to know ?
You're the goddamn spy,
not me.

Don't you guys have
a magic manual or something...

that teaches you
all that stuff ?
Yes, we do.

Didn't you ever read it ?
I helped write it.

Well, what does it say
about measuring distances ?

I forget.
Jesus, we're going to get
our asses shot off.

Oh, no.

You think you could
give me a hand here ?

She's going to kill me,
she thinks I'm German.

I wonder why she thinks
you're German.

Uh, Betty Grable,
Hershey bars, Yankee Stadium ?
Hello, Joe.

She said she had a brother
who was killed by the Germans.

Her father refused
to do anything about it.

He's a collaborator--
out of fear more than anything
else I should suppose.

She says she's doing
what he should be doing.

It's-- It's his car,
she says we can take it.

This is-- This is going to
work out rather well.

I'm thrilled.
As an SS officer,
I'm entitled to an aide.

You're wearing the uniform
of a sergeant. You won't
look at all out of place.

Where won't it look
out of place ?

At Gestapo Headquarters
in Lyons.

Listen, you've got
a perfect right
to get yourself killed,

and I've got a right
to stay alive.

I fully appreciate the position
I've placed you in, Lieutenant,

but I just don't think
I can do this thing alone
because my leg is hurt...

and this thing
has got to be done;
it's that important.

I don't speak German,
in case you didn't notice.

How am I going to fool
anybody if I don't ?

If you don't speak to anyone,
then no one will know
you don't speak German.

That makes sense,
doesn't it ?
Shit.

Better get rid
of those cigarettes.
What ?

And the lighter.
They're American.

Mind if I
ask you something ?
No, not at all.

Why did you decide to go
instead of that guy, Wells ?

Ah, that's rather complicated.
I don't know how to answer that.

Try.

All my life,
no matter what I did,

I've always been
the same thing--pleasant.

I'm-- I'm pleasant.
I was a teacher,
that's a pleasant profession.

I'm rather pleasant looking,
if I do say so myself.

If anyone were asked
to describe me, they'd
say I was... pleasant.

Oh, I've never minded it
that much before.

Except now,
it's beginning to hurt.

More than I ever thought
anything could hurt.

I don't know
what you mean.
Well, take a look at yourself.

I can't, I'm driving.
I'm serious.

Take a good look at yourself,
and you'll see a hero.

I'm not a hero,
and I don't want to be one.

Even if you don't want
to be one, you are.
You can't help it.

You're the one who is
ice-skating on the lake...

when the little boy
falls into the freezing water,
and you save him.

I'm the one
who gives you my coat
to wrap him in.

And when it's all over,
you're on the front page
of all the newspapers,

saying it was really nothing,

and I have a wet coat.

Are you kidding ?

You're supposed to
open the door for me.

They changed it.
They put in a new safe.

It's a combination safe.
I haven't the foggiest notion
how to open it.

I love it.

Why, Mrs. Sellinger,
what a pleasant surprise.

I am sorry to barge in
on you like this, Major Trumbo.

It's just that I haven't
heard anything since
we spoke last night,

and I've been
beside myself.

I was hoping that
you'd learned something new.

Won't you sit down ?
Would you like a glass
of sherry ?

No, thank you.
Cigarette ?

Major,
what the hell happened ?

We don't know.
The plane is missing.

Not a word,
not a trace, nothing.

I still can't understand
why Paul acted
so impulsively.

I can.
Really ? Why ?

It's not something
I can explain.

Well, Mrs. Sellinger,
I do assure you
I will contact you...

the moment
I hear anything.

I've spoken to the
American colonel-- Bart,
I think his name is,

and they're waiting
for some word themselves.

Who's Colonel Bart ?
Paul was in an American plane
from the Eighth Air Force.

This man, Bart,
is the wing commander.
Where's he located ?

At Windsor Field.

Thank you very much, Major.

I do apologize
for pestering you so.

Mrs. Sellinger,
seeing Colonel Bart
won't accomplish anything.

He knows no more
than I do.

I'm sure you're right.

Thank you again.

Cigarette ?

Are you out of your
goddamned mind ?

Achtung !

Mrs. Sellinger ?
Yes.

I'm Colonel Bart.
Major Trumbo told me
you'd be coming around.

It's nice of you
to take time to speak with me.

Not at all.
Please sit down.
Thank you.

You must think
I'm an awful pest.

It's just that I have to
know for myself
what's happened.

Well, yes, of course.
We received no notification
of survivors.

Can't send reconnaissance
aircraft in to check...

for fear of drawing attention
to the mission.

You understand ?
No, I don't.

Yeah, well...
there's every chance
they managed to bail out.

- But you don't know
for sure ?
- No.

No, I don't. Except I do know
that if they did bail out,

your husband is
in very good hands.

The pilot, Lieutenant Halloran,

is a very determined,
very resourceful man.

-Oui ?
-C'est nous ?

Apple pie ?

Well, we did it.

We actually did it.

Look, I don't want to
cramp your style or anything,

but we're still not
out of France yet.
We'll get out all right.

It'd be silly for us to come
this far and not get out.
Ruin my whole day.

I can go back now.

I can be more
for her to see.

She must be
very special.
She is very special.

Have you ever felt that way
about any woman ?

Yeah.

I do now.

Except with me it's different.
Ever since I met her,

I don't know who I am anymore.

Well, I know who you are.
You're a good and brave man.

I don't feel very brave.

That's absurd.

Look what you've done.

I didn't do anything
except try and stay alive.

Whatever I did,
I did 'cause I was
too scared to die.

The only men who are brave
are the frightened men.

Men who aren't frightened
aren't brave, they're insane.

You're only brave
when there's something to lose.

And you still try.

When we get back,
go to her, hold her...

and never let go.

That's what I'm going to do
when I see Margaret.

Tell me more about your wife.
What's her name ?

Margaret.
God, I love that name,
don't you ?

Yeah.

How do I tell you
about her ?

Well, if there is
really such a thing
as one woman for you,

it's Margaret for me.

I know that sounds
like something
out of Mother Goose...

but it's true.

We have a daughter, Sarah.
She looks like her mother,

which is reason enough
to think she's beautiful.

Here, this is Margaret.

She's lovely, isn't she ?
Yeah.

Well, that's marvelous.
She says there's a bridge...

about eight kilometers
from here to the left.

There's a resistance group
waiting for us.

Merci.

Come on, old man.
Eat something.

Here's your watch.
Oh, thanks.

Son of a bitch !
That girl's fink father
must have called the Germans.

Perfect.

Will you come on !

I think I left
my kidneys back there.

You've still got
your ass.

Grab on !
I can't, go back.

I'm too scared to argue
with you. Grab on,
goddamn it !

You're going to get
us both killed.

When you get back to London,
please look up my wife.

Her name is Margaret.

Please, tell her
her husband died a brave man.

Tell her... yourself.

Well, I...

get the wet coat again.

No, pal.
This time you get the girl.

No. Oh, no.

No, you don't, not now.
If you die on me,
I'll kill you.

Do you want to play cards ?
I feel like demolishing you.

You're trying to be cheerful
because you're worried
about Daddy.

He's going to
be all right.

I love you more
than it's possible
to love anyone, you know ?

Hello ? Yes ?

Mommy, is it good crying
or bad crying ?

I knew it.

Captain Sellinger,
which room is he in please ?
I'm his wife.

Uh, 4-4-2,
Mrs. Sellinger.
Just down the corridor.

Hello, old friend.

It's so unfair
for anybody's eyes
to be that color.

Halloran... I--

Me too.

Are you all right ?
Are you hurt ?

I was lost for awhile,
but I think I'm back now.

I just wish your eyes
weren't that color.

There's a man in a room
down there.

A good man.
I wish he wasn't.

When I first heard
that you'd been
shot down together...

I felt I was being punished.

Then after awhile,

I knew that you would
take care of him,
that you would come back.

I love you enough
to let you go,

which is more than
I've ever loved anything
or anybody in my life.

I wish I didn't cry
all the damn time.

I will never care for anyone
the way I care for you.

And do things have to
work out this way ?

Things work out
the way they're supposed to.

Listen, you got
to go to him,

and I got to
turn and walk away.

That's what we have to do.
You know that
and I know that.

I'm entirely capable
of messing this whole thing up,
so you got to help me.

I love you, Halloran.
I love you, Maggie.

Think of me
when you drink tea.
