Yellow Kid to Dog Patch Red.
Go ahead.
Got any more dope on that bogey,
or has it turned into another flying saucer?
Bogey is still out of range
for your outfit to make intercept.
How much fuel have you got left?
About 1-5-0 gallons.
By the way, that bogey
may be my operations officer,
Major Rexford, coming in from White Horse.
He might have overshot the field
in this soup.
No, we've already identified Rexford.
Bogey came into our radar net
across Bering Sea from Siberia.
We must assume it is Russian
as it does not show I.F.F.
Russian? Are you on the level,
or is this a drill?
Yellow Kid to Dog Patch Red.
I repeat:
Russian.And this is no drill.
You're relieved to refuel.
Keep two squadrons with hot guns
on standby alert.
Oh, roger!
This is Allison Tower, 1-Niner-0.
Go ahead.
Request landing instructions,
Allison Tower to 1-Niner-0,
you're number one to land.
Runway:
3-2. Wind: Calm.Weather:
Closing in fast.Roger, Allison Tower.
Comin' right in.
Red Leader to Flight.
Go into string and take distance
for individual landings.
We're goin' in to refuel.
Did you hear those instructions, Blue Leader?
Blue Leader to Red Leader. Roger.
We'll follow you in.
Hope we meet up
with that Russian on the way.
You and me both.
Blue Leader to Red Leader.
Look out below. Here we come!
Red Leader to Blue Leader.
Come ahead!
Shut the door!
Yeah, shut the door.
But the colonel
I'm sorry, Colonel.
That's all right.
We'll be ready for takeoff
in 20 minutes.
Afraid that'll be too late.
Has that Russian come into range?
There he is, circling
north of the base at jet speed.
How do you like that?
A Russian jet.
It's all right, Colonel.
We've got your 1-9-7 going up after it.
Rexford? How much fuel
did he have left?
Twenty-one minutes. I caught him
just as he was coming in to land.
He's crossing the field to go back up
on top. Here he comes now.
He's right smack on the bearing.
Yeah, he oughta be on
that Russian's tail in no time.
Well, watch out for that Rexford.
Don't let him get trigger-happy.
I want that Russian jet
down in one piece.
You bet.
I see your Russian jet.
Yellow Kid to 1-Niner-7.
Easy, now. Are you sure it's a Russian?
Sure I'm sure. I wouldn't have said
I was sure if I wasn't.
It's a YAK 12,
and I've got a perfect bead on him.
Shall I slam him,
or should I just
saw off one of his wings?
Yellow Kid
If you do, I'll saw off your head!
Yellow Kid to 1-Niner-7,
don't open fire unless he tries it on you.
Now, take your time, Major Rexford.
Does he see you?
How can he see me?
I'm in his blind spot.
Rex, this is Shannon.
Hello, Jim.
Wish you were here.
Maybe you think I don't, because I want
that Russian jet down here undamaged.
All I want you to do is go up
alongside of him and attract his attention.
What if he won't look at me?
Oh, I get this all the time.
Then you can fire a warning squirt.
But that's all. Savvy?
Aye, savvy.
Hey, you!
Hey, Molotov,
or whatever your name is. Okay.
Aw, shucks.
What's the matter?
All this guy wants is down.
How do you know?
As soon as I fired a little squirt,
That's fine. Now,
will you kindly lead him in?
Okay, Jim.
A woman.
A lady.
A dame.
Anybody around here
speak Russian, Sergeant?
Nobody except me, maybe.
Maybe?
Go ahead and say something.
Is that Russian?
That's Yiddish.
Put that down, Sergeant,
and get out of here.
I can handle this, Chief.
I've met dames like this before.
You likey soupski?
Soupski. You likey?
As an officer,
I'm entitled to certain privileges,
one of which is that
I not only be treated respectfully,
but that I be addressed
in a language I can understand.
You likey speechski?
I guess that'll hold you.
Let's get rid of this parachute.
What air base in Siberia
did you take off from, Lieutenant?
How much fuel did she have left?
The bottom of the tank
Take your thumb
out of that soup, Major.
Sit down, Lieutenant.
We can talk while you're eating.
Well, why don't you sit down and eat?
Aren't you hungry?
Yes, but not hungry enough
to talk against my country.
Look, lady, we were under the impression
that you came here
to get away from your country.
I came here to prevent myself
from getting shot.
Why would they wanna shoot you?
I did something that was wrong.
You did?
I can't believe it.
What did you do?
- Disobeyed an order
of my commanding officer.
- What kind of an order?
It was in regard to tactics,
so I naturally can't explain it.
That sounds reasonable.
Who asked you? Hello?
Oh, put him through.
Palmer Field. General Black.
Hello. Hello, General. Yes.
The plane looks like a Soviet version
of our T-33.
She's right here in my office.
I can't tell you exactly
what I think of it.
But either she or that jet
must be pretty good to get this far.
Sir? Well, no,
she isn't very talkative.
All I've been able to get out of her
is some baloney about
why she flew the coup.
What is that baloney?
Yes, sir.
Sausage.
I was thinking of having Rexford
fly her down in the C-47.
But I said nothing about sausage.
No, sir.
Nobody did. But he's one of those men
who suspects everything
he can't understand.
Oh.
Yes, sir.
Good-bye, sir.
Why don't you believe me?
Your story's too simple for a Russian,
too smart and too straight.
I have a feeling you don't like Russians.
Well, I don't know.
I met lots of 'em in Germany.
Got drunk with 'em.
I sang their songs,
and they sang mine.
It was a beautiful friendship
that gradually ripened...
into complete apathy, baby.
But why?
Say, where have you been
all this time?
Russia.
That explains it.
Well, let's see.
Kindly lay out any articles
you may have in your possession.
What's that?
My cigarettes and lighter.
Finally made one that'll work.
Anything else?
Only this.
Is that all?
Yes.
to search you.
I expected that. Go ahead.
It'll be a lot easier
if you'll take that stuff off.
A little heavier than ours.
Hold it!
This way.
Come on.
Take the rest of
your things off in here.
Thank you.
- I see you have hot water.
- Help yourself.
- Are you serious?
- Sure. Go ahead.
May I use the soap too?
Also the towel.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
All set?
Be ready to go in half an hour.
Say, what's goin' on in there?
Sounds like she's taking a shower.
Well, how do you like that?
Not so loud. I don't want her
to know you're here.
Why not?
Well, I think
she's gonna pull something.
Huh?
I may be wrong, but
What's the matter?
The water's so hot!
Well, why don't you
turn on the cold faucet?
Where is it?
Right next to the other one.
Can't you see it?
No.
Why not?
What's the matter with your eyes?
They got soap in them.
Uh-oh.
Well, I'll fix that.
Come on over to the door.
Here I am.
Now put your hand on the knob.
