- Hi, Mac.

- Sam, didn't take you long to get down here.

I'm just inserting the laboratory tape

you phoned me about.

- A5? - Yes, A5.

Major Charles Taylor.

Chief test pilot, US Army Air Force,

small arms expert.

- That's the one.

You better get Joe down here, Mac.

We haven't much time.

- Right.

Joe, can you come down here?

- Right, Dad.

- Now Sam, what's this all about?

- Well, two leading electronics experts,

Professor Bernowski and Dr. Frank Adams,

secretly recruited for a top security government project

in Istanbul have both been involved in fatal air crashes

en route.

- Bernowski and Adams.

I read about the crashes, but their deaths

weren't reported in the papers, Sam.

- Because in both cases, theirs was the only bodies

not recovered.

We believe they were kidnapped

before the plane crashed.

We've got to find out how and why.

- Where does Joe fit into this?

- Joe and you, Mac.

You're both flying to Istanbul.

As a well authority on electronics,

you're the bait.

- Thanks, very much.

- Hey, Uncle Sam, Dad.

- Hello, Joe.

You okay?

- Yes, I'm fine, thank you .

- Good, we have another mission for you.

- Smashing.

- Yes, it could be quite exciting.

Especially as I'm the bait.

- Now, Mac, both Bernowski and Adams

were traveling on medium-range passenger jets.

You'll be traveling in the same type of plane.

Flight T4063 8:00 tomorrow morning.

- Dad's coming with me.

It'll be great.

- That's right, Joe.

You could call this Operation McClaine.

- All right, Joe?

- Yes, Dad.

(electronics whirring)

- Okay, Joe.

Just relax, relax completely.

(electronics whirring)

(upbeat theme music)

(mellow music)

- We're all set, Sam.

Leak it to the press that Professor McClaine

is flying to Istanbul.

Give our unknown friends every opportunity.

- Don't worry, Chief.

It's all taken care of.

- Good.

Well, now it's up to the Professor and Joe 90.

(mellow music)

- Come on, Dad.

Or we'll miss the plane.

- For the last time, I'm in charge

of this mission.

Now keep calm.

Now where on earth did I leave my hat.

- You're wearing it, Dad.

- Huh, oh, so I am.

Well, to the car, come on, Joe, hurry up.

(engine whirring)

(dramatic music)

(tires squealing)

(engine revving)

- I didn't think we were going to make it, Dad.

- Just sit back and relax.

I've got everything under control.

(engine revving)

- The Professor and the boy.

Seats 11 and 12.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much, stewardess.

(engine roaring)

- Abel Victor to London control, airborne.

Switching to channel B, out.

Captain's weather report.

2/10ths cloud visibility, 15 miles,

no heavy traffic.

- Good, that means we should make Istanbul

on schedule.

- How many passengers do we pick up in Athens, sir?

- 10, we'll have a full ship for Istanbul.

(engine roaring)

- Uh, 10 minutes to nine.

- What's that you're reading, Dad?

- The chart of the route.

In about 15 minutes we should be over the sea.

- Dad, I wish I could go up to the flight deck.

Do you think they'd let me?

- You just sit tight, Joe.

We've got a job to do.

(intense music)

(dramatic music)

- I'm just dying to see Athens again.

You know, I met my first husband there.

- That must've been an extremely fortunate day

for you, madam.

- Why, thank you.

(intense music)

(engine revs)

- Dolphin to Swordfish.

Dolphin to Swordfish.

Prepare for reception.

- Approaching Athens.

Start descent, two minutes.

Weather's still holding up.

- Great.

Well it looks like we're going to make it.

- There is a passenger requesting

to come into the flight deck, sir.

- Not right now, we're about to commence

our approach to Athens.

If he stays aboard until Istanbul

I'll try to arrange it later.

- I'm afraid later will not do, Captain.

Please do not move.

(thud)

- [Captain] Bill! (gasps)

You've killed him.

- Not a bullet, Captain.

A tranquilizer pellet.

He will be unconscious for hours.

Now, change course to 300 degrees magnetic.

Do as I say.

Switch to auto control.

Set rate of descent at 800 feet per minute.

Thank you, Captain.

(thud)

Seagull to Dolphin.

Seagull to Dolphin.

We'll be at the reception in seven minutes, over.

- Good, Seagull.

It should be a successful party.

Dolphin to Swordfish.

Dolphin to Swordfish.

Reception in seven minutes.

Repeat, reception in seven minutes.

- Joe, something's wrong.

We should be approaching Athens airport

but we're still over the sea.

Have you got that pocket compass with you?

- Yes, Dad.

- Joe, this reads 300 degrees magnetic.

That's at least 100 degrees off course.

- How clever of you, Professor.

Now do precisely as I say.

Come with me to the rear compartment.

I'll give you exactly five seconds.

Do as I say or your boy dies.

(dramatic music)

- All right.

- Dad, no.

- Don't worry about me, son.

Just do what you've been told.

- After you, Professor.

(intense music)

- Dad, Dad!

- What is it?

- That man, look.

He's got a gun.

- If anyone makes a move in the next 15 seconds,

it will be his last.

- Sir, what's going on?

- Right, inside the escape unit, Professor.

(engine roaring)

- What was that?

They've ejected.

(dramatic music)

- The pilot, he's unconscious.

- What?

Then who's flying the plane?

- No one.

And we're losing height.

- We're going to crash.

We'll all be killed.

- [Passenger] Now look, will you, stay calm.

Help me with these escape doors.

- [Male Passenger] We'll never get through there.

It's solid steel.

- [Young Male Passenger] We've got to.

It's our only chance.

(intense music)

(dramatic music)

- Uncle Sam, they forced Dad out of the plane.

A man and the stewardess and we're diving.

- Joe, put on the glasses.

- Uncle Sam, Dad's gone and everybody--

- Joe, listen to me.

Put on the glasses.

The glasses, Joe, put them on.

- Oh, the glasses.

- [Sam] Put them on, Joe.

- Open up, open up in there.

- Joe.

Joe!

- Okay, Sam.

I've switched to manual.

I'm trying to pull out of the dive.

If there's time.

(dramatic music)

- We're climbing, we're climbing.

- Okay, Sam.

We're going back upstairs.

Everything's A-Okay.

- Nice work, Joe.

What are you going to do now?

- Level off at 5,000 feet then head back

to where the Professor was forced to eject.

As near as I can judge, it's quid reference point 2U74.

- Right, I'll alert the Navy.

They won't get far.

- Thanks.

(dramatic music)

- You have exceeded yourself, comrade.

- It was too easy.

I would've thought World Intelligence

might have given the Professor at least

a one-man escort.

- Yes, however I have an extremely interesting

proposal for you, Professor.

- So you think after what you've done

to my boy and the other people on the plane,

that I'd be interested in anything you have to say?

- We have ways of making you cooperate, Professor.

- Kramer is cold but wise, my friend.

In ways that you could never possibly imagine.

- You're wasting your time.

- We shall see, Professor.

However, that we wait to go aboard the submarine.

(engine chugging)

(water bubbling)

(engine roaring)

(intense music)

- Sam, I see something.

It's a sub, just surfacing.

Grid reference, T74.1.

- Grid reference, T74.1, that's a restricted area, Joe.

It could be the pickup for the Professor.

Is there no trace of him?

- No, I can't see a...

Hey, wait a minute.

There's something, looks like a speedboat.

- [Sam] Hey, that must be it.

Joe, whatever happens, don't let that speedboat

get near the sub or we may never see

the Professor again.- But Sam, this is an airliner,

not a jet fighter.

- [Sam] Joe, you can do it.

Remember, you have the knowledge and experience

of one of the world's finest pilots.

The patrols on its way.

Just keep the speedboat away from the sub

till they get there.

- Okay, Sam.

I'll do my best.

- You will find it's a most interesting project, Professor.

An orbiting satellite broadcasting sonic

death rays capable of paralyzing whole cities.

What is it, Kramer?

- It's a plane.

- I think it's just some sort of passenger jet.

It's very low.

- You're right.

- You fool, Kramer.

It's that plane, AV-21, it's the aircraft

you were supposed to have destroyed.

- I don't understand, it must have crashed,

both the pilots were unconscious.

- [Dolphin] One of them must have recovered.

- Impossible.

- Then it must be a passenger.

- No, we checked most carefully.

None of them has any experience of flying.

- One had.

- Who?

- My son, Joe.

- Kramer?

- A boy, nine, 10 at the most.

- You have a very strange sense

of humor, Professor.

- We'll see.

I think he's coming around again.

- I'm going in to divert the speedboat.

- [Sam] Good luck, Joe.

- It's heading straight for us.

- We are going to crash.

- I managed to turn them, Sam,

but they're coming back for more.

- Hold them just a little longer, Joe,

the naval patrol is nearly with you.

(heroic music)

- This time, Kramer, whatever happens,

maintain course.

- I understand, sir.

- Dolphin to Swordfish, Dolphin to Swordfish,

we are under attack, require immediate assistance,

require immediate assistance.

(weaponry firing)

- So that's the way things are.

- Whoever's flying that plane is throwing

it around like a toy.

It's still coming.

- That's my boy.

- Shush!

- It's coming through everything.

- Just maintain course.

(weaponry firing)

- You'll kill us all.

- This time, there's no turning back.

- Don't give way, Joe.

- No.

- You'll pay for that.

Kramer, can you restart the engine?

- Don't bother, look.

(joyful music)

(weaponry firing)

- All right, Professor, I know when I'm beaten.

But tell me one thing, who was piloting that plane?

- It was Joe, my son.

Well done, Joe.

- Mission completed, Sam.

Over and out.

- Captain William Barry and co-pilot,

Frank Casper, who together played

a major part in foiling a sinister plot

to destroy the free world were at Buckingham

Palace this morning for the royal investiture.

Authorities at Mailand Military Hospital

report that both are in good health,

but have suffered a complete loss

of memory of the events leading

up to the incident.

A hospital spokesman said, in such cases

of severe strain, total amnesia is not uncommon,

and the full facts might never be known.

I wonder what they'd say if they knew

what really happened.

- They never will, Mac.

But that's life, Joe, in the W.I.N.
