Where Eagles Dare Page #7

Synopsis: During WW2 a British aircraft is shot down and crashes in Nazi held territory. The Germans capture the only survivor, an American General, and take him to the nearest SS headquarters. Unknown to the Germans the General has full knowledge of the D-Day operation. The British decide that the General must not be allowed to divulge any details of the Normandy landing at all cost and order Major John Smith to lead a crack commando team to rescue him. Amongst the team is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Schaffer, who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation. When one of the team dies after the parachute drop, Schaffer suspects that Smith's mission has a much more secret objective.

and in your rooms.

You were not there.

Colonel, l don't have to

remind you, do I...

...that l am in charge of alI

the Gestapo activities in this area...

...and ifthere are foreign agents,

then l am to be informed at once!

-You were not here, major.

-Then you find me, coloneI.

My duty is to inform you, but not

to search every gasthaus to locate you.

I know your duties...

...and your loyalties.

Let me remind you, major,

that I'm a colonel in the SS...

...and not some lieutenant

you can frighten with your threats!

Your military rank and position

are obvious to me, coIonel...

...and so are your attempts to discredit me

with my superiors in BerIin.

Ifthere is any discredit,

you bring it upon yourself.

Good night.

-You better lock the door.

-Sure.

Here are all the things you'll need.

Automatic, field glasses,

ball of string and lead weight.

-You put those things in there?

-A week ago.

-You knew all about this even then?

-Yeah. Good luck, cousin.

We may need these.

I guess it's occurred to you, the Germans

probably know about all this stuff by now.

It did cross my mind.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Over.

[OVER RADlO]

Broadsword calling Danny Boy.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Over.

MAN:

Broadsword, sir.

Danny Boy calling Broadsword.

Come in, Broadsword. Over.

MacPherson murdered. Thomas,

Christiansen and Berkeley captured.

I'm effecting entrance within the hour.

Please have transport standing by. Over.

PulI out now, Broadsword.

Save yourselves. Over.

You must be joking. Over and out.

That is an order, Broadsword. Over.

[STATIC BUZZING ON RADlO]

Broadsword? Broadsword?

Broadsword?

Broadsword?

He's gone, sir.

Damn it!

It's all my fault.

It's all ourfault, colonel.

It was my idea.

Maybe I'm getting too old.

Maybe we're both too old.

Well, anyway, there can't be

any doubt anymore.

The Germans have totally penetrated MI6.

They know every move we make

almost before we make it.

Where the hell are they

getting it all from?

We handpicked every man

for this mission.

-We have top security.

-Security?

That word has become a bloodyjoke.

[VEHlCLE APPROACHING]

[MEN SPEAKlNG IN GERMAN]

We've got company.

-Open the window.

-All right.

[MEN SHOUTlNG IN GERMAN]

[LAUGHlNG]

Put the bag in the bus

and see ifyou can start the engine.

[VEHlCLE APPROACHING]

-How's it going?

-Try to give it a start.

Right.

Yes. Captain Mueller,

with three prisoners.

All right.

[GRUNTING]

Leave this one behind and

tie that one to the end ofthe rope.

[MEN LAUGHING AND

SPEAKING IN GERMAN]

Good God, that nearly killed me.

You shouIdn't go

on these insane missions.
