All can speak French.

- One of them can speak German.

- Mm-hmm.

You've got to find out

who that is.

All right.

That's not as easy

as it sounds.

- Why?

- Because one of the students in

that group is a German agent.

A German agent?

- You know?

- Yeah.

Man or woman?

When you find out,

let me know.

Mm-hmm. All right.

Ladies and gentlemen...

[Stops]

I've got a couple of things

to say to you before you begin

the next phase of your training.

Your instructors are all

experts in their jobs.

They're going to cram their years

of experience into your heads.

It shouldn't be necessary,

but I'm going to remind you of security.

Everything you learn,

everything you do, is secret.

Even your closest relatives can't know

you're an agent in O77.

Maybe nobody will ever know.

That's not important.

But keeping your mouth shut is.

Now, you're gonna have

a lot to remember...

and a couple of things

to forget.

Now, the average American is

a good sport. Plays by the rules.

But this war is no game, and no

secret agent is a hero or a good sport...

that is, no living agent.

You're going to be taught to kill,

to cheat, to rob, to lie.

Everything you learn is moving you

toward one objective...

just one, that's all...

the success of your mission.

Fair play? That's out.

Years of decency

and honest living?

Forget all about them,

or turn in your suits...

because the enemy can forget...

and has.

Well, work hard. I'll be with you

every inch of the way. All the way.

Working right with you.

Good luck.

Take over, Pappy.

The group will leave

for area "B" this afternoon.

Departure, 1500, front entrance.

That'll be all.

[Grunting]

Uh... you.

[Grunting, Punching Continue]

When searching a person for

concealed weapons, search thoroughly.

- Even below the knees.

- Hands up!

No, aim for the point

on the chin. The button.

Try it again.

Hands up!

That's better.

Start the fall from here. Follow it

right on over. Watch carefully.

I'm very relaxed,

you understand? And slap.

Here...

Slap hard. All right... you.

Don't forget the slap.

It'll break the force of your fall.

Good. All right.

Slap harder.

[Planes Crashing]

You have exactly one minute.

Time.!

What kind of planes

were involved?

How many motors

on the second plane?

Which plane was cut in half:

Top, bottom or the center?

How many planes crashed? If more

than one, which plane crashed first?

[Tapping]

[Narrator]

All O77 agents had to be able to send...

at least ten words a minute.

Those chosen for special jobs

as communicators...

received more thorough training.

[Tapping Continues]

- Now, listen.

- [Air Roaring]

[Roaring Continues]

- [Roaring Stops]
