Black Eagle Page #2

I don't do enough for my kids!

We know where the plane went down.

All you have to do

is get the guidance pod.

Are you kidding? Malta's never easy.

It's crawling with spies

from all over the world.

And the Leontiev.

You think I'm walking into that?

You're out of your mind!

I'm going to meet my kids.

That's exactly what you'll do, Ken.

I know that tone of voice.

Your kids are already in Malta.

What?! At the Dragonara Palace

Hotel. Your luggage is there.

You registered yesterday.

Brian? Brian!

I bet my dad's never coming.

You're wrong. He's just busy.

He's always busy!

Let's try and enjoy ourselves.

We can go see the museum.

Terrific(!)

DISTANT CARNIVAL MUSIC

Let's go watch the parade.

Terrific(!)

CARNIVAL MUSIC SWELLS

MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

ENGINE WHIRRS:

Malta Control Centre here.

I've got unidentified traffic

15 miles off Luca, heading west.

Unidentified traffic north-east

of Malta, identify yourself.

'Unidentified traffic north-east

of Malta, identify yourself.'

'Malta Centre again.'

The unidentified traffic is now

ten miles off Luca, heading west.

Unidentified aircraft off Malta,

identify yourself!

Open your chute!

Pull, dammit!

'The unidentified aircraft

has turned out to sea.'

Give me the police, please!

PHONE RINGS:

Hello. This is Chief Inspector Borg.

Yes.

Right. Give the area to my sergeant.

I'll send an officer.

Hold the line.

For you! Inspector?

I don't want to hang around here.

You are Father Joseph?

Clothes are in that duffle bag.

Wallet, credit cards, passport -

all the goodies money can buy.

Rickert said there was another

man - Henderson. Steve Henderson.

He was to attach a homing device

to the Leontiev.

Rickert gave me an assistant

to monitor it.

What about it? Nothing, nada, niet!

Nobody's seen Henderson.

For what it's worth, I'm an

oceanographer. I study currents.

Turpidity.

For openers.

BOAT'S ENGINE CHUGS

Dr Tani?

You work for Father Joseph.

I do, but I'm employed by Mr Rickert.

My boys are on the island?

They're at the Medina Museum.

This picture shows the Grand Master

defeating the Turks in 1565.

A city is named after him.

Daddy!

How are you doing? I am very glad

to see you. Both of you!

How long have you worn glasses?

Don't ask!

Remember me? Patricia Parker.

Dean's friend.

The tour's over. Let's step outside.

We've been hoping you could join us.

That work wasn't too difficult.

We've been here two days, Dad!

I'm sorry. I was busy, OK?

Dr Tani, you may want to see this.

I'll wait for you in the boat.

Who is he? Vladimir Klimenko -

colonel in KGB. Sector commander.

He flew in two days ago.

Now on the Leontiev. Hmm.

Be careful, Doctor.
