you'll never make it out of Russia.

You will run out of fuel

and you will die in the Arctic Ocean.

Well, get up and walk around.

Let's have a look at you.

Mr. Sprague,

can you be comfortable with it?

-Yes.

-Good.

Bloody damn good.

-The flight recorder.

-Huh?

The flight recorder.

Oh, yes. I nearly forgot.

Yes, one last thing.

We just learned this from Baranovich:

There will be a recording device

in the cockpit.

A "black box"

I believe you Americans call it.

It is voice-activated.

It was installed for their test pilot.

We'd like you to use it.

In the event that, well....

If it should happen, and we were

somehow able to salvage the aircraft...

...it might be possible to reconstruct

enough from your diary, as it were...

...to be helpful.

-Sir?

-Yes, yes, yes, I'm coming.

Now, Mr. Gant, I suppose this is

the end of the road for us.

Actually, let me rephrase that.

Let's say the beginning.

I'll be with you every step

of the way, Mitchell.

Your papers.

-Yes, Mr. Sprague?

-Yes.

What is the nature of your

visit to Moscow?

-Business.

-Yes, what business? Specifically.

Carburetors. Bearings.

It's all right in there.

Mind telling me what you're looking for?

You have been to the Soviet Union

several times in the past few months.

Is that correct?

I've been here six times

in the past few months.

Nothing like this has ever happened.

What's going on?

We apologize for the delay.

But every international airport

has its own set of...

...unique problems.

I've been in every airport in the world.

I've never been insulted like this.

I'm a businessman.

I do business with your superiors.

-Are you threatening me, Mr. Sprague?

-No.

And why do you bring this?

Perhaps you are hoping to receive your

stock market report in Moscow?

Moscow Hotel.

Stop over here.

Why here?

Across the square is Hotel Moscow.

Thanks. I'll walk.

Thank you, sir.

I agree. We cannot be too cautious

at this late point in time.

You will pass that on?

Consider it done, sir. It will make

a fine complement to the dog patrols.

Very good. Now, tell me...

...where will our traitors be

in the hours before the flight?

The three scientists will be

inside the hangar itself, sir.

Baranovich himself will be working on

the weapons system during the night.

He will be working on the aircraft

until takeoff.

Yes, comrade colonels.

And what of the others?

Natalia and Semelovsky will be concerned

with refueling and loading the missiles.

Also, the rearward defense pod.

They are most familiar with the systems.

Not easy to replace.

I understand,

let them continue working.

-Your men will be ready.

-Yes, sir.

Our informers will be with them all night.
