This is government land.

I've been authorized to mention

it could pass over to the private sector.

What you're saying then is that

you've already picked a volunteer.

You will be flying the fastest,

most sophisticated warplane...

...on the face of this earth.

You probably realized by now...

...you won't be

waltzing into Moscow as Mitchell Gant.

Get to know that man in front of you,

Leon Sprague.

He's a businessman from Nevada.

He's been flying in and out of Moscow

the last few months...

...from his factory in Marseilles,

selling our well-to-do comrades...

...a carburetor part

for their outboard motors.

He's actually been

defiling the Soviet youth...

...with large quantities of heroin.

He's a drug smuggler.

An enemy of the Soviet people.

At least that's what the KGB

has been led to believe.

He doesn't know it, but he's been

blazing the trail for you.

Look at that face.

Would you believe he had

5 pounds of heroin right there?

Looks like he's on a weekend

to Acapulco.

Could you be that cool, Gant?

Your suite will be bugged.

They know your habits.

You are trafficking in heroin.

They will have followed you for months.

Any slip in character will be noticed.

It would be lethal.

I cannot stress this strongly enough.

In the hotel, on the way to the bridge...

...you must not allow them to lose you.

As long as you relax, they relax.

Remember, we are playing

on their only real weakness.

Because of its very size,

the KGB is sometimes slow to awaken.

It is like a monster.

If you can walk by carefully enough,

it may just...

...lift an eyelid and sniff at you.

But if you awaken it....

You have but one objective:

You must reach

the Krasnokholmskiy Bridge...

...at precisely 10:30

with your KGB tail in tow.

They will see you make the rendezvous,

and then you must obey...

...the people you meet completely.

Whatever they tell you to do...

...you do.

Mr. Cunningham.

This to any Soviet policemen will appear

to be a cheap transistor radio.

It will even pick up

the local radio stations.

In actuality,

this is your life in the air.

Because once you're airborne,

you have just two objectives:

Avoid their tracking systems

and find your refueling point.

This little radio is a highly

complex one-way homing device.

It will be scanning the airwaves,

seeking out a complicated set...

...of alternating frequencies

coming from Mother 1.

The Soviets will be listening

for any transmission up in the air.

So this is your only link

with the outside.

Once it picks up the signal, you're within

100 miles of your refueling point.

You will then follow it home.

It must never leave your person.

If you lose it, if it is confiscated,
