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?

12 arrests, no convictions.

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

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.

Oh.

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

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 about 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. I have to catch the bus.

Please don't leave like this.

I have to.

I wanna see you again.

I can't.

Please. Look, I just have a few
hours before I have to be back.

Please don't do this to me.

Look, we can't stand here.
We gotta get under a shelter.

I'm terribly sorry,
but I can't. I...

why? 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 2 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 2 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.

Lt. 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 a radio check.

Pilot to tail. Farrell, okay?

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

Radio check.
Pilot to waist. Giler?

Yes, sir.

How're we doing?

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

Radio check.
Pilot to turret. Lucas?

Yes, sir. Ready, sir.
Ammo's ok. 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.

Oh, 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 at 12 Miles from target.

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.

7 Miles to target.

Feather it.

Number 2 feathered.

Let's turn the hell back.

How far from target?

5 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?

3 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
sgt. York on the plane.

I hate you, Lucas, God damn 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 It. David halloran,

serial number 0-5-7-3-2-7...

9-6-9.

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

If we don't hit
the stupid target now,

we're just gonna have to
come back again.

Ok, 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.

Thursday. 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.

10,000.

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?

9,000.

5 Miles to target.

How far is target now?

3 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.

So, I haven't been there
for 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 funny? Yes.

You're a wretched little child.

If I am, it's your fault.

Really? Why?

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

You think that's true?

I don't know, if it is true,
how come Dennis caine

doesn't have a mustache
like his father?

Maybe 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 mummy and daddy.

You don't call me mummy and daddy.
You only call me daddy.

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

If that's what you 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 mummy.

You know,
for a very short person,

you're not bad at all.

Would you like some more tea?

Yes, love some.

Judy fox stole my key chain.

You know the one with
the 4-leaf clover?

Stole it? 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 4-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 action.

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 mummy?

I will always love mummy.

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 trainload 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 in lead.
Patman, you fly second lead.

Now, we got cloud cover
from 8 to 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 5 to 10-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.

Lt. 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 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.

You blink the wrong way
and I'm gonna nail you.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir, you're gonna nail me.

You get the hell out of here!

You ok?

Yeah.

What did he say?

He said he didn't like
my attitude.

Lucas, did you check this gear?

Sure, 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
someone 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.

I beg your pardon?

Captain Lester.

As you know, 2 months ago, one of your
agents, Reed, was dropped in lyons.

2 weeks later, he was killed.

Yes?

A month ago, you sent
another agent in.

Forbes. A good man.

Quite.

Yesterday, we received word
Forbes has been found dead.

What do you think?

I trained both of those men.

I knew them well. Very well.

They were not the kind
of men to make mistakes.

Especially mistakes so glaring

they would be found out
in 2 or 3 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 gestapo headquarters
in lyons

has a list of double agents
in London.

He said he was going to
try 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 gonna 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 3 children.

Did you say something?

I was saying that Forbes
had 3 children.

Yes.

It's obvious we're gonna 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 2.
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, mummy,
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.

Mummy, 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'll like
anything you 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
that we've seen.

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

Then get him a dress.

Just get him
something you'll like.

Daddy would love that,
because it's from you.

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

Mummy, 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.

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
backward with a propeller?

When we take off
heading for France,

if we land in New York,
they're 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.

Uh, leader,
this is tower. Over.

Just one second, tower. Over.

Check the r.P.M.

R.P.M. 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 ok.

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 comin' back. Over.

Repeat that please, leader.

I got a problem with my number one.
Over. I'm comin' 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 2.

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.

Um, 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've 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,

you know, I think she shrinks.

Yes, 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, hmm?

Hey, cimino.

Hyer. Hello, hyer.

L-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.
Uh, let's fool around.

Ok.

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 doin'?

How did it go today?

Not so good. We lost 3.

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

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

Where's patman?

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, uh, where's,
uh, 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.

S-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, God damn you.
You found it, right?

I don't know yet.
Tell me you found it,

you jerk.

Take it easy, take it easy.

He heard it!

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.

Believe me, patman!

I heard it, patman!

God damn you!
God damn you, patman!

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
and 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 that evening.

I'm tired of missing you. 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 2 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 3 or a 4-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 learnin' how to use them.

How long will it take
to learn to open one?

Well, I... you got to understand

that, uh, openin' 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 It. Wells is gifted.

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

If it's a combination lock,
I'd say about 6 months.

Well, the safe that we're
interested in is a kohner 335.

That's a Gerry safe.

Yes, Harry. You may have noticed
that we're at war with the Germans.

Well, 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 very eyes,

your lock pick.

And you have here your safe, which is
almost the same as your kohner 335.

Now, you insert your lock pick

into your kohner 335,

Feeling your way
through the elements.

For your personal information,
there happen to be 4.

One.

2.

3.

4.

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
supposedly 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.

Oh, 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.

Ah.

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, of course
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... 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 4, please.

I... I didn't mean
to disturb you.

Paul, I'm so glad
you called, but...

Mrs. Sellinger, ward 4.

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

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

I love you.

Paul?

Yes, capt. Sellinger?

Will you get me

It. 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 capt. Sellinger?
Captain, lieutenant halloran.

Hello?

Mummy, mummy.

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, mummy, look at it.

Mummy, 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.

Capt. Sellinger, you ok?

Quite well,
thank you, lieutenant.

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 clear 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.

Lt. 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 2 men back there,
they're dead.

He has no face.

Keep your arms 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.

Uh, lyons is
north of here, you say?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Uh, I hate to impose on you,

but, uh, you happen to know
which way is north?

Yeah, that way.

Thank you again.

Oh! Damn.

I say, It. 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?

No, not at all.

I was wondering,

seeing as how you
don't know north from South

and you can't take 10 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 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 maj. 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.

Mummy, is everything all right?

Mmm-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?

Oh, yes, 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.

And 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 s.S. 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.

You've got a perfect right to get
yourself killed, if that's what you want

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 speak German?

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.

A lot of crap. 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... 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, maj. 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,

uh, 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 8th 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?

Mrs. Sellinger?

Yes.

I'm col. Bart.

Maj. 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.

Why, 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, It. Halloran,

is a very determined,
very resourceful man.

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.

Ah, 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.

Oh, 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 8 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.

Mummy, is it good crying
or bad crying?

I knew it.

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

Uh, 442, 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 gotta help me.

I love you, halloran.

I love you, Maggie.

Think of me when you drink tea.
