All language subtitles for McCloud S07E04 The Moscow Connection

You won't be going
to Brooklyn today, McCloud.

- Got somethin' else on mind?
- You'll be going to Russia.

Kenny: They said they were
gonna pass us right through.

Now tell 'em again, we're the
American Country Jubilee.

♪ If you made us be some

♪ Small town mother's

Sam: Listen, I'm always ready
to go along with any man

who's tryin' to upgrade
his style of dress.

There's a five year prison
sentence in the Soviet Union

for illegal possession of arms.

You know, you're going to Yalta
to pick up a bag of heroin.

Oh, you're out of your mind!

Hah! Yah-hoo!

- Johnny!
- Hey, Johnny!

[clamoring]

Okay, okay.
Let's give him room.

Johnny loves you, but he's got
to have a little bit of room.

John... Johnny!

Hit the showers,
then come on back up.

Wendy's put together
a little celebration.

- Johnny! Johnny!
- No, no...

No. Well, you gotta stay
for like 15-20 minutes

and then hit the town...

- Hey, that's Johnny!
- Oh, it's Johnny!

- Hey, Johnny!
- Hey, Johnny!

Take it east, you hear?

Okay. Now let's break it up,
kids.

Run on back out that way.

You want me to sing for you?

Ha-ha-ha!
You don't, do you?

I hoped you'd tonight,
didn't you?

[woman squealing]

Woman 1: Oh, it's him.
It's Johnny!

- It's Johnny. Oh, Johnny.
- Hey, Johnny. Hey, Johnny.

Woman 1: Johnny,
I can't believe it's you.

[indistinct chattering]

You're my favorite singer
in country music.

[indistinct chattering]

I've always loved your music.

[indistinct chattering]

Anything for you.
Really, anything.

Do you have any copies of your
last singing...

Please call me.
Let me call you, Johnny.

When can I call you?

- Hey, hey!
- Sam!

Doggone, I'm glad
you could make it tonight.

Oh, listen, I wouldn't have
missed it for nothin'.

Yeah. And Johnny's dyin'
to see you.

Just give him a few moments to
sign some autographs

and pull himself together.

No sweat.
Man, he was exciting, wasn't he?

He had that audience
right in the palm of his hands.

- He's great.
- Yeah, he did, Sam.

But, you know,
I'm kinda worried about him.

He's been overworkin',
pushing himself too hard

getting ready for his
Russian tour, and I...

It's Johnny again.

What is it?

[dramatic music]

I don't know why Johnny did it.

Get an ambulance.

Man 1: He just came over
and started hittin' him...

[indistinct chatter]

Hello, Johnny.

[indistinct chatter]

Marshal, Sam McCloud. I'm with
New York Police Department.

I'll take care of this.
Would you put those guns away,

and help me get him out of here?

Alright, everybody.
Out the corridor.

Please. Quietly. Move.

Let's move back.
Clear out of here.

Let's go. Move, move, move.

Let's go, fellas.
Let's go.

Move 'em out.

[woman squealing]

Sam: Hi, Johnny.

How you doin', old buddy?

It's Sam.

Johnny.

Sam McCloud, Taos.

Now, don't tell me
you can't remember

the one and only Sam McCloud.

[woman groaning]

Johnny...

Now, nobody's gonna hurt you
here. Nobody.

[screams]

Kenny, would you just...

I think Johnny would
feel better about it

if you would get everybody
out of here.

Just get 'em out of the room
and close the door.

Please.

[door closes]

That better, Johnny?
Huh?

Huh!

Boy, I tell you, I just...

I come 2000 miles
and I wind up directing traffic.

[groaning]

Johnny...

now that ain't the way
to treat a lady.

Come on.

Back off a bit.

Why don't we just
take a ride up the canyon,

kinda think this thing out?

You know, nice cool breeze
can kinda clear your mind,

get the cobwebs out.

How about that?
Huh?

Hey, listen, I want to tell
you somethin'...

now you know that it takes two
to decide on the price of beans,

right?

Hey, man, that lady there,
she's just excess baggage.

[instrumental music]

Besides that, you already own
the ugliest dog

and the slowest horse
and the prettiest woman

in Sandoval County.
Huh?

Huh?

[chuckling]

Attaboy.
Just relax.

Nothin' to worry about.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Just... let her go, John.

Just relax.

Let her go.

There you go, Johnny.

Let it all hang out.

Nothin' to worry about.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Just let it all out.

[knife clanking]

Kitzmiller: Remember the face,
Pete. She's important.

Peter: If you made her
police commissioner

I'd be behind her all the way.

Kitzmiller: You do and this boy
will use you for tank practice.

Peter: Oh! Boyfriend?
Kitzmiller: Her father.

He's the key to the entire
radiation problem

at our US Embassy in Moscow.

- You've heard about that?
- Who hasn't?

Kids of our embassy employees
turning up with blood diseases.

People getting sick.
What do we do about it?

Not a thing.

Colonel Krasnavian has the proof
we need to expose

what's been going on over there.

He's going to give us
information which will change

the face completely of our
relation with the Soviet Union.

He needs our help.
We need his.

[chuckling] You know,
Johnny boy,

I've known you
for a couple of years.

You're about as hard to
get information out of

as any man I ever met.

Now, why... are you sharing this
world-wide intrigue with me...

a humble policeman?

Kitzmiller: Because you're
the key on our side, Pete.

We need a policeman,
specifically a narcotics expert.

That narcotics ring you broke up
in conjunction with Interpol

five years ago in Marseilles,
makes you our only man.

Narcotics? I thought we were
talking about radiation.

What's narcotics
got to do with Red Square,

that girl and her father?

You'll find out
when the time comes.

As you know, Pete,
everybody in our business

likes to work on
a need to know basis.

We don't want to tell you
anything that would

jeopardize you or us
until the last possible minute.

What do you mean,
"the last possible minute?"

Your coming back here
to give me another lecture?

Oh, no. You're going away...
to Russia.

You mean, the Russians have
asked for an American cop?

Come on.

[chuckling]

Hey, wait a minute.

You want me to smuggle
those Russians out

through the European
drug network?

Pete, don't!

Your papers have
already been arranged.

Naturally, your superiors have
been told nothing more than

that you're needed in France.

You're serious about me
going to Russia? Uninvited?

Well, we wouldn't have thought
it possible ourselves

until a month ago.

But then we found a cover that
will enable you to manage

one of those cultural exchange
shows going into Moscow.

The American Country Jubilee
headlined by Johnny Starbuck.

Which brings us to our only
snag, Pete...

you have a man named McCloud
working for the NYPD...

That's not a snag, that's a
tear, a hole in my department!

Seems to have a handle on
Johnny Starbuck.

Both came from the southwest,

knew each other through their
growin' up days.

He could be a lot of help
to us, Pete.

Gentlemen,
the conversation is over.

If you think I'm going to
risk my neck for Uncle Sam

carrying a time bomb...

I'm afraid McCloud isn't the
time bomb, Johnny Starbuck is.

We've been watching him
for three weeks, Pete.

He's out of control.
And we can't dump him.

The tour to Russia is
built around him

and our cover is the tour.

I watched McCloud
handle Starbuck like a pup.

I've never seen
anything like it.

You've never seen anything
like McCloud, period.

We don't have much time, Pete.

Maybe 96 hours.

We think this is our only hope.

Why do I have the feeling
you've left a lot out.

[sighing] You're a good cop,
Pete.

Don't press us.

You'll get it
when the time comes.

Yeah.

That's what I'm afraid of.

[knock on door]

- Who is it?
Peter: It's, uh, me.

Morning, Sam!

Morning, Sam?

I, uh, just happen
to be in the neighborhood

and I, uh...

Uh, mind if I come in
and set a spell?

Oh, no, no. No.
Come on in, chief.

I... I'm sorry, I...

I'd offer you something,
but I don't have anything.

Oh, I had breakfast. Thanks.

As a matter of fact,
I wanted to talk to you alone,

uh, away from, uh, things.

Would you mind
if I finished dressing?

I got to be over to Brooklyn
to observe the hostage squad

training program at 9 o'clock.

Uh, you won't be going to
Brooklyn today, McCloud.

- Got somethin' else on mind?
- That's right. Yeah.

You'll be going to Russia.

Kenny: I'm telling you Sam,
he won't stand for it.

Look, Kenny, this wasn't put
on the level of request.

These boys want me over there
and that's all there's to it.

I told 'em the same thing
you're telling me,

that it won't work.

That's right.
He won't stand for it.

Won't stand for what?
What're you guys talking about?

Oh, it's nothin', Johnny.

I was just trying to figure out
some way that I might

make the trip to
Russian with you.

- That is a great idea.
- Well, that's what I thought.

You think you could do it?

Well, I don't know
if I can get away.

That's right.
This is a workin' man, Johnny.

Sam: Of course, the government
has asked our department

to send along some kind
of security.

I might wangle a spot there.

It'd be just like
the good old days.

Kenny: That's exactly
what it'd be like

and we're gonna be working
our tails off.

We do not have time
for fun and games.

We always have time
for our old friends, Kenny.

Now, just a minute.
Wait a minute, fellas.

I mean, before we get in
an argument about this,

let's find out
if I can do it or not.

May not able to do it, okay?

Uh... listen, Sam,
I want to thank you

for what you did last night
and for Teddy.

You know, I guess I really
had a tear on or somethin'.

Well, let's just say that

it was a notch above
your ordinary tear.

Well, I guess
I better talk to the chief

if I'm gonna get on board.

I'll see you guys later.
Hang to it.

- Okay, Sam.
- Take it easy, Sam.

You're crazy, Johnny.
If you take Sam McCloud

along on this trip he's gonna
find out what's wrong with you.

Aw, Sam's a good ole' boy

and he'd never let
nothin' happen to me.

[sighing]

Johnny...

you got some half-baked idea

about keepin' on the way
you've been goin'

and lettin' good ole' Sam
bail you out of trouble

like the old times,
you've lost your mind.

Now we're all gonna be
sittin' slap-dab

in the middle of
mother Russia...

Sam McCloud ain't got
no power over there.

Well, I think
you're wrong again.

In my book, Sam McCloud
walks tall anyplace he goes.

[instrumental music]

Woman on PA: British National
Airways announces

last call for flight...

How is it that no mention
was made of clown costumes

in my briefing?

Well, you, uh, cut a mighty fine
figure, actually.

Tell your tailor
I admire his sense of humor.

Excuse me, gentlemen,
gonna have to borrow

my associate producer
for some pictures.

Just came in from Louisiana.

State Department didn't give me
much warning about you

joinin' this tour.

It's a last minute decision.

Yeah. We've already got one
policeman.

You guys always work in pairs.

I know that McCloud's gonna
watch Johnny,

who are you here to watch?

I'm here to watch McCloud.

[instrumental music]

Thank you.

Thanks. Take it easy.

Morning. Thank you for
holding the plane for me.

Hey, Sam.
Glad to see you made it.

- Let me give you a hand.
- Thank you.

Boy, I tell you, the traffic out
there is somethin' fierce.

I didn't think you were gonna
get here.

Well, it's thick as peas
on a rented mule.

Hey, hey. Sam!

- Hey, Kenny. Thank you.
- Good to see you.

Listen, why don't you
sit right down there

and take a load off your feet?

We'll be gettin' off
the ground pretty soon here.

Appreciate it.

Johnny: Whew-boy. Now, what do
you think three ole' boys

from New Mexico are gonna do
in Moscow, Russia? [chuckling]

- Have fun.
- I hope so.

Woman on PA: Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

And welcome to flight-57,
tras...

Sam?

Woman on PA: The captain
requests that you please

take your seats now
and fasten your seatbelt,

as we'll be shortly taxing
a private take-off.

Please be seated, sir.
We're about ready to take-off.

Yeah, ring up a chair, partner.

[Sam sighing]

That's very neighborly of you.

From this moment on, McCloud,
all you know about me is that

I'm an associate producer for
the American Country Jubilee.

- Understood?
- Oh, listen...

I'm always ready to
go along with any man

that's tryin' to upgrade
his style of dress.

Spare me the cactus humor.

Why didn't you tell me
you were comin'?

Well, an incident like the one
last night with Starbuck

could have international
ramifications.

So, when the State Department
asked me how much faith

I had in you...

Did you tell 'em?

That's why I'm here.

[scoffs]

Yeah, well, I appreciate the
confidence there, chief.

Well, why don't you tell me
why you're really here?

Don't ask questions, McCloud.

Anything you have to know,
you'll know when the time comes.

[engine whirring]

Hm.

[instrumental music]

Kenny: They said they were gonna
pass us right through.

Now, tell 'em again, we're the
American Country Jubilee.

Please, sir. A fortnight ago,
we had a big problem

with English rock group.

- They wish to inspect.
- Inspect what?

You think we inspected
the Bolshoi Ballet

when they came to New York?

Please, sir.
Do not make trouble.

Alright.

Alright, people.
It's their country,

they certainly got the right.

Now, get your luggage
and let's get it done.

Move along, Johnny.

Come on.

Quicker you move,
the quicker we get it done.

Move right on along there.

There you go.

[indistinct chatter]

That's it. Move right on along
there, people.

Clifford, Peter B.

McCloud, Sam.

Thank you, ma'am.

[PA announcement
in foreign language]

Please, to come with me.

Oh, McCloud,
remember our conversation.

International ramifications.

The one where you didn't
say nothin'.

Keep the thought.

[instrumental music]

Ah.

Mr. McCloud.

- Please.
- Uh, thank you.

My name is Tereshkov.

Uh, your travel manifest

describes you as a musician,
a guitar player.

Yeah, that's right.

You, uh...

use the gun barrel to hit
the strings?

[chuckles]

Well, uh, you see, I'm-- I'm
just kinda half a guitar player

and half personal security
for Johnny Starbuck.

You see, any, uh, kind of famous
celebrity like, uh,

like Johnny, is open to danger
from unsavory individuals.

Well, unsavory individuals are
not a problem in Soviet Union.

They don't exist.

Well, that kinda
eases my mind a lot.

Nor do pistols
for unauthorized persons.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry about
the oversight there.

You see, I kinda packed
in a hurry.

[sighs]

You know, I-- I think that
it would save both of us

a lot of breath if you'd just
call the Rossiya Hotel

and ask for Kenny Hingle
or Johnny Starbuck.

I see. I see.

You're the one that is used to
giving instructions.

Well, I meant that in a spirit
of a suggestion.

[sighs]

Feel like I've kind of been
rode hard and put away wet.

Uh-huh.

[laughing]

Hm.

"Rode hard and put away wet?"

Get that to ciphers immediately.

[clearing throat]

McCloud...

uh, I was born in a small town

a hundred miles from Moscow.

Last month, there was a terrible
earthquake there.

A thousand people died.

Well, that's a statistic.

But one man's suffering,
that's a tragedy.

Why don't you tell us why
you've come to our country?

[instrumental music]

- You dumped it?
- I panicked, I'm sorry.

Well, a day from now that
dropped at the streets

can look pretty invitin', buddy.

Hey. [chuckling softly] Hey.

I'm goin' to the terminal
to pick it up.

Now just settle back and leave
the worryin' to me, okay?

I'll see you at the press
conference.

Ah, Mr. McCloud.

- Would you like some tea?
- No, thank you.

I trust you were comfortable.

Well, it's a little bit hard
to settle down in a jail cell.

Why? That's one of the most
modern prisons in our country.

[chuckles]
Well, I'm glad to hear that.

You know, I always feel
more at home in a new jail.

[chuckles]

You have a sense of humor.

A precious asset
in time of adversity.

You keep me caged up much longer

and I might get
down right hilarious.

[both chuckling]

Allow me to end your
inconvenience.

You'll find it all here.
Everything but the revolver.

And you'll get that when you
leave the Soviet Union.

- Appreciate it.
- Enjoy your stay here.

No personal antipathy?

No. No. I'm never one to
nurse a grudge.

Oh... [chuckles]

Forgive me. I almost forgot.

This is your case,
is it not?

No, I never took to the habit.

Oh, then, perhaps
it belongs to someone else

in the American Country Jubilee.

Well, I'll ask around
if you like.

No need.

Well, if there's nothing else,
I'll bid you gentlemen adieu.

Hang to it.

Thank you.

You want him followed?

[instrumental music]

Your pardon.

Is this only flower kiosk
in hotel?

I think there're three, but this
one seems to be the best.

Black Mercedes, MOC plates.

You alright, McCloud?

Oh, fair to middlin'.

I sure ain't hankerin'
to see the inside

of a Russian jail again.

You didn't tell 'em anything?

Well, I got nothin' to tell 'em

till you tell me
what not to tell 'em.

I can't tell you that.

I haven't seen you.

I'm not even here.

Appreciate it.

I'm Andrei Krasnavian.

Peter B. Clifford,
New York Police Department.

Can we, uh, talk freely?

These men are completely
loyal to me.

The State Department
has informed you

of the situation here?

They told me you were
involved with, uh, drugs.

Not myself.
My daughter, Tatiana.

Pierre Belsen, a young
filmmaker, has entrapped her

into helping him
transport drugs.

Well, why would a filmmaker
involve himself in drugs?

Our creative people have
freedom, a precious commodity,

but no income.

The state pays them little.

Well, but, uh,
why involve your daughter?

Andrei: Being my daughter
she has what is called "vlasti,"

a special passport which allows
her unquestioned travel.

Oh, then, she's a carrier,
not a user?

Yes, but now that she's
involved,

she's trapped nevertheless.

If she quits, they threaten
to expose her, thus ruining me.

And, uh,
just what am I supposed to do?

The KGB are watching her
closely.

If they apprehend her
with the drugs,

she will spend the rest of her
life in a prison camp

and I will be destroyed.

Now, I have something you need.

Information on the radiation
poisoning within your embassy.

You have something I want,

expertise to save my daughter.

Now you realize, of course,
that, uh, exposing a drug ring

could incriminate her.

You will expose them
only to me.

But I must know of everyone
who can implicate my daughter.

If you cannot do it, then we may
have to try to escape.

You want my advice,
leave right away.

Well, I have not yet
the necessary information

your State Department requires.

And the KGB are drawing closer
by the hour.

Well, drug rings, even...

small and sophisticated
operations take time to crack.

They require manpower trained
in surveillance techniques,

transport, communications...

You have my driver.

- The lieutenant and car.
- Hm.

By the way, I think they should
be in less conspicuous garb.

They will do whatever
you tell them to.

That'll be enough
for tonight.

Now, I'd like to assemble
the rest of the our men

tomorrow morning
at 0800 hours, sharp.

I suggest a 12-man
primary team, 12-man support,

six unmarked vehicles

with special frequency
communications...

Forgive me. Perhaps I haven't
made myself quite clear.

The KGB are extremely effective.

There are the only two men
I can trust.

[instrumental music]

Can you tell me if Johnny
Starbuck got my message?

- Yes.
- Uh-huh.

But he left the hotel again
some time ago.

You don't have any notion
where he led out to, do you?

Huh?

Where he was goin'?

Oh. [chuckles]

He asked about the Dom Kino.

- What's that?
- A night club.

It is near Kolkhoznaya Place.

- Not far.
- You know how to get there?

You take a taxi,
the driver will know.

Much obliged.

[instrumental music]

[singing in foreign language]

[music continues]

Don't you two own any footwear
beside boots?

We will purchase shoes tomorrow

Sir...

which design of shoe is best?

Brown.

Well, while we're waiting,
let's, uh, review

travelling surveillance
patterns.

When in transit, frequent
alternation of operatives

reduces recognition factor.

We will use leap frog
and parallel motion techniques

when in foot transit.

We'll carry common place items
such as newspaper

to camouflage observation.

We will always be vigilant,
always expecting the unexpected.

Vehicular surveillance
techniques...

Okay, okay, let's just
hope our, uh, field work

is half as good as our
scholarship, huh?

[chuckling softly]

- It's Tatiana.
- Hm.

[horn honking]

She's going into Dom Kino.

- It's exclusive night club.
- Mm-hm.

That car!

I don't think I like it.

[upbeat music]

What?

He's about ready to jump
out of his skin.

Says he'll pay a $100
for one boost.

Ah, well then,
what are we waiting for?

Let him simmer a while.

We have company.

- Pierre, Vladimere.
- Darling.

Will you excuse us?

I've come here to tell you
that I want out.

You know what an anonymous phone
call to the Cheka could do

to you and your
illustrious father.

And to you?

Possibly.

- I can see you mean it.
- I do.

Then, uh, you're through.

Simple as that.

Whatever happened to us,
Tatiana?

I stopped being impressed
by Pierre Belsen, the filmmaker,

when I found the man underneath.

I put you in two of my films.

Tatiana: And in your drug
business.

Excuse me if I'm somewhat
less than nostalgic.

For all that you appear, you
remain so delightfully naive.

You will make one last trip
for us to the sea coast.

After that we will part
as friends. Half a kilo.

But you haven't heard me,
I want to stop now.

You will make this small trip
and enjoy yourself.

No.

I could also arrange it
as your last trip anywhere.

Don't force me to do that.

It would be such a waste.

You've noticed the celebrity?

Johnny Starbuck,
the American singer?

For the sake of appearance,
I want you to travel to Yalta

with his entourage.

Vladimere and I will make
the trip also

but at a comfortable distance.

I don't want to be
seen with you.

[chuckles] How am I going to
join the American entourage?

You joined mine easily enough.

Don't worry,
there's a much surer way

to invite his interest.

Mr. McCloud.

Yes, tonight may be the night.

[instrumental music]

You know, it would be such
a fabulous experience for me.

Yeah, it'd be nice, darlin'.

Listen, uh...

this man you know,
the one that's holdin'...

Mm-hm.

- Is he here tonight?
- Yeah.

- What's his price?
- No price. It's a gift.

I don't think I understand.

See, now, if you would
bring me along,

there would be plenty of your
medicines with me.

You got a ticket to ride.

[singing in foreign language]

The corridor, behind the club,
in the bathroom.

There will be a man
waiting there, okay?

Excuse me, uh, ma'am.
Was that Johnny Starbuck?

Uh, no English.

[upbeat music]

[door opens]

Well, Sam, it looks like
I got fans everywhere.

Why didn't you tell me
where you were goin'?

Well, I tried to leave a message
at the desk,

but they said you were sleepin'.

Start a fight.

[clamoring]

[dramatic music]

Help those cowboys.

[music continues]

[glass shattering]

[glass shattering]

[man grunting]

[glass shattering]

Let's go.

[music continues]

Have you still got it?
Get rid of it.

[police siren blaring]

First, you being a gun into
the Soviet Union,

then you instigate a riot
in a nightclub,

then you try to evade the police

while in possession
of Turkish drugs.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I do my best
evadin' while I'm unconscious.

That's true.

Those drugs were layin'
right where I found 'em.

Perhaps, drooped by your
employer, Mr. Johnny Starbuck?

Well, that's hard to say
who dropped 'em.

It could've been anybody.

They could've been layin' there
all night.

There's a five year prison
sentence in the Soviet Union

for illegal possessions of arms.

Five to fifteen years
in labor camp for hooliganism.

Now, possession of heroin
in the Soviet Union

is not a criminal matter,
but a medical one.

For that there is a hospital
for the duration of the cure,

a month, a year, 50 years.

Yeah, well, I don't suppose
that hospital's, uh,

more than a stone's throw away
from the labor camp, is it?

Mr. McCloud...

Mr. McCloud.

My instincts assure me
you're telling the truth.

And as your stay
in the Soviet Union is brief,

I see no advantage
in making you a dependent

of the Russian prison system.

So, you're free to leave.

Well...

Since I was facing 70 years
in labor camp just a minute ago,

I'm much obliged to you.

[Tereshkov chuckling]
My friend...

you're in a people's democracy.

Recall this moment when you see
the vicious propaganda,

the vicious fiction of the KGB
on your western television.

Pleasant day to you.

Pish!

Now he'll help us tighten
the noose around Tatiana's neck.

[Tereshkov laughing]

Excuse me. Have you seen
anything of Samuel McCloud?

Who? Oh, McCloud.

Nyet,captain.

Sorry.

Any of you fellas seen McCloud?

Not this mornin'.

[Johnny grunting]

I'm comin', man. I'm comin'.

Wind me up
and I'll play and sing.

[phone buzzing]

Lukoff.

From ciphers.

"Rode hard and put away wet..."

Western American expression,
meaning hard labor

followed by no reward.

"Rode hard and.."

Hm.

Hm.

General Krasnavian
and Mr. Clifford converse

in a Mercedes
which Mr. Clifford now drives.

Mr. Clifford knows Mr. McCloud,

Mr. McCloud and Mr. Starbuck
are friends...

Mr. Starbuck and Tatiana
Novotny danced together.

Tatiana is Krasnavian's
daughter.

Full circle of association.

We must get to the source
of this.

You're going to an immense
amount of time and trouble

to arrest one spoiled child.

I'm not interested in Tatiana.

I suspect Krasnavian of treason,

but I must have time
to prove it.

Tatiana can by me that time.

I know withdrawal when I see it.
He needs a doctor.

It's bein' handled.

How?

How? Did you call a doc...

Is that how you're helpin' him?
What's you do?

- Find a dealer over here?
- Now just calm down, Sam...

And listen to me.

Ten days from now
Johnny is going into clinic

in Switzerland to get clean.

- Till then, we need her.
Sam: Ten days is too long.

Kenny: Oh, please, Sam.
I'm beggin' you.

If the State Department
or the Russians get wind of this

we're finished financially,
professionally--

I'm gonna get Johnny to a clinic
if I have to hog-tie him,

drag him there
three-ways to Sunday.

Oh. [sighing] Sam, please.
Right after Yalta.

- I swear to you.
- Now!

- The tour, Sam.
- The tour's closed.

McCloud.

I caught most of that.
Now you've got to forget about

Starbuck's problems
till the tour is over.

Why? He's a friend of mine.

McCloud, I want to talk to you,
and I want you to listen.

Alright. It's your nickel,
chief. Shoot.

Now that girl in there
is named Tatiana...

she's my one link
to a heroin racket

operating between here
and the Black Sea.

- Heroin?
- Now is you call a doc--

Is that what you're
doin' over here? Narcotics?

Well, you knew
Johnny was an addict.

- What're you doin'? Usin' him?
- That was not my choice.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Because I had my orders.

I didn't like 'em,
but I followed them.

Now, the secret police
are all over that girl.

Well, that's her problem.

What's that got to do with my
not gettin' a doctor for Johnny?

If you call a doctor,
he'll call Tereshkov,

the KGB will investigate,
that blows me and the girl

right out of the ball park.

She's a victim, McCloud.

Our only way of saving her
is to break--

No, I'll tell you, chief.

Johnny is a victim
and you're askin' me

to turn my back on a friend for
a girl that I don't even know.

Or for why or for what?

McCloud, will you listen to me?

It's not just a girl
we're helping, it's...

our a way of life.

What're you talkin' about?

McCloud, there're times when you
just have to go on faith.

That's what I'm doing.

Now, you'll know what
you need to know when I know.

Now, my Russian contact
has supplied me

with an undercover unit.

Diligent they are,
but as for experience,

I'm on my own.

Now, I need one good man.
I need you.

And if you really want to help
Starbuck,

you'll put in with me.

I'm gonna get a doctor from the
American Embassy for Johnny.

Get him on Methadone.
Something that'll help him

with his withdrawal,
that's what I'm gonna do.

- You got 'em.
- Okay.

Oh, by the way...

The girl doesn't know that
we're tryin' to help her.

Well, maybe, if you laid it out
for her, she'd cooperate.

Well, she might also panic
and run

or throw herself
on the mercy of the KGB.

I don't think so.
She seemed pretty cool to me

for the situation she's in.

Of course, a couple of things
come to mind

that might be worth chewin' on.

- And we're in it together?
- Give it my best shot.

[switch clanking]

[train horn blaring]

Man 2: Make sure
all the equipment is here.

Some on this was loaded.

Sir.

Wrong.

We will commence with support
strategy for Mr. McCloud.

First, I better close the door.

- Johnny.
- Hey, Sam.

[groaning]

How you holdin' up?

Yeah... I don't know.

That Methadone's numbin'
my system.

I just might make it through
one more performance

and that trip to Switzerland.

It's a long way to come to

find out you've reached
the end of the line, you know?

What happened, Johnny?

[bell ringing]

Aw...

It's not much of a jump, Sam.

From booze to,
to pills to drugs.

It's the courage you're buyin',
you know?

It's like sittin'
on a Brahma bull

waitin' on it to come
out of the chute.

Once you're on that ride
it's hard to get off.

Well, you're gonna make it,
Johnny.

And we're gonna walk through
the doors of that clinic

together, you hear me?

Together.

[sighing] I'm glad
you're here with me, Sam.

You get some sleep.

I'll be around if you need me.

[train horn blaring]

[door closes]

Go away! And leave me alone!

You have no right to
force your way in here.

I've got somethin' to
say to you.

Well, I've got nothing to
say to you!

I'm gonna save us some time.
You know you're going to Yalta

to pick up a bag of heroin.

Oh, you're out of your mind.

And if I know it, you know that
the secret police know it.

[both grunting]

Let me go!

Now, ma'am...

I've never been one to manhandle
a lady, you understand?

But if it means gettin'
the truth out of ya

I'm gonna give it a shot.

Tatiana has made three trips
to the Black Sea

in as many weeks.

Odessa, Erevan, Sochi.

Now she is on a train trip
to Yalta.

A short boat ride
into Turkish waters.

Now, obviously, it's easier
to smuggle drugs

into one of these points than
to transport them to Moscow.

So it's safe to assume
that the heroin

is now somewhere in Yalta.

Tatiana and her associates

must have a tremendous
amount of cash

for such
a narcotics transaction.

Unless they paid in advance.

[sighs] Would you pay for heroin
in advance?

Now, I want every part
of this train inspected.

When we find the money
and her associates,

we'll keep an eye on them
until they make the purchase.

And then, Tatiana and her father
are mine. Go!

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

I met a man several months ago,
I fell in love.

I have a special travel permit.

He knew that when he chose me.

Yeah, I know. Pierre Belsen.

When I understood what was
happening, it was too late.

He threatened to expose me
to the Cheka

who'd arrest me
and denounce my father.

Well, I don't think
he'd do that.

Arrestin' you
would be like arrestin' him.

I couldn't take that chance.

But this will be my last trip.

He promised me.

Well, I'd like to help you
make it your last trip,

but to do it,
I gotta have some help from you.

[dramatic music]

Now, the pick-up is half a kilo,

sometime during
the Yalta performance.

- Half a kilo?
- Yeah.

That costs big money.

How you gonna carry
all that money into the theatre?

Oh, I, I won't.

They're gonna make
the payment themselves.

All I am to do
is to receive the heroin.

You mean, they're gonna pay for
it first and pick it up later?

Well, who buys heroin
without testin' it first?

Nobody.

Nobody pays out that kinda money

without knowing
they got the real stuff.

Maybe we oughta make Belsen
more suspicious of her

to make sure
that she stays the decoy.

That way we'll know
that Belsen is gonna make

the real pick up
and we can nail 'em.

More suspicious?

- How do we go about that?
- Yeah...

Well, you know, there's nothin'
more disturbin'

to a chicken coop
than an intrudin' rooster.

Does that lend itself to any
kind of English translation?

Yeah. The lady here is gonna
fall head over heels

in love with me.

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

McCloud: That's what I said.

I told you that.

What is she doing with him?

We'll find out.

There is no evidence
of the money anywhere.

end a chess game.

[instrumental music]

Just what are you doing
with that cowboy?

I like him.
I'm mixing with the group.

That's what you wanted me to do,
isn't it?

Not that close.

- I wouldn't tell him anything.
- I'm sure you won't.

As a matter of fact,
we are going to trust you

to make the payment
at the same time

you pick up the heroin

otherwise the plan is unchanged.

I'm touched.

Can I go now?

You're trusting her
with the money?

Of course not.

But you're letting her
make the exchange.

I'm letting her think
she is making the exchange.

The money packets will be paper

and there will be
just enough heroin

in the package she picks up
to ensure her arrest.

[train horn blaring]

[knock on door]

Hey, hey.

What's this all about?

Oh, I'm scared. Just hold me.

There...
Now, just take it easy.

Take it easy.

What happened?

Well, your, your deception

appears to be working.

You're makin' the pick up.

- And dropping the money, too.
- And the money?

That doesn't seem right.

Well, I'm to go to the theatre
with the package of money

and then, after the second
number,

I-- I'm to go to
the ladies' room

and there I am to put it
in a trash barrel

and I will draw another packet
of heroin.

Oh, McCloud!
I'm frightened.

- I don't know what to do!
- Now, now, now, now, now, now.

Just take it easy. I'm gonna be
right there with you.

- I promise ya.
- Oh. You don't have to promise.

That's not a promise.
It's just a statement of fact.

I'm gonna help ya.
I'll be there.

Sorry to interrupt.

But this train is crawling
with secret police.

And they're searching
everything.

In my opinion,
all bets are off.

They could be getting ready
to pounce.

Just had a run-in
with Tereshkova.

I agree with ya.

However, I think we have one
good old-fashioned chance.

- Run like hell.
- Exactly.

Now, as soon as this train
pulls in

I'm getting in touch with Hagen.

See if he can't get Krasnavian
out of the country.

Well, he might not wanna leave
without Tatiana here.

I want to go with him.

Do you know where Belsen
is staying in Yalta?

It could be anywhere.
He's got many friends.

Well, there is the film.

What film?

"Andrei Vaselavitch."

It's an epic
they're making there.

Pierre was going to direct

some of the second unit,
uh, sequences.

You know where
they're shooting it?

Yeah, in the city, on
the streets near the Black Sea.

Huh! Are you thinkin'
what I'm thinkin'?

Hm. That could be a very
good cover to make their buy.

Yeah and I got a notion
that I can lead the KGB

to Belsen and get Tatiana
and her father out.

Alright, McCloud.
Lay it on me.

I will not leave Tatiana
to such a fate!

That is my final word.

McCloud's bringing her.

They'll be here.
I guarantee that.

You have much faith in that man.

Yes. I have.

Stand up and look at these
buttons! Fix them. Fix them!

I put these notes
in the costume.

You're not paying attention.

Pierre: You're a soldier.
Do you understand? Good.

Alright, everybody to work.

[horse neighing]

[grunting]

Pierre.

What are you doing here?

You've led them right to us.

Are you crazy?

Now it's your turn
to be the decoy.

You're under arrest.
Tereshkova, KGB.

You won't need that anymore.

Hyah!

[horses neighing]

Let's go!

[dramatic music]

Here's the heroin.

Everything's under control.

Somehow, I don't think so.

Do you have the girl?

Well, she cannot get away.

I believe I am watching her
do so, now.

Come on!

Follow that horse!

And remove that cart!
Come on.

[engine rumbles]

[horn honking]

KGB. Move that cart.

Go on, move it!
Move it, you fool!

- Move it right away!
- Move it!

KGB, move that cart!

[horn honks]

[instrumental music]

[horn honks]

[instrumental music]

We can't wait any longer.

- It's not eleven yet!
- It's close enough.

Step into the boat, comrade.

I will not leave
without my daughter!

I'm not giving you a choice.

The information you require
is in here.

It can die with me.

You cannot force me
to go with you.

Whoa.

Well, I see it,
but I don't believe it.

- Comrade! No!
- Tatiana!

- Won't you come with us?
- I'll see ya in New York.

- Will you?
- You betcha.

Bye, Sam.

- Oh.
- Alright, come.

We have no more time.

Well, couldn't you have found an
easier mode of transport?

Seemed like the only thing
at the time. Best get on, chief!

- Get on?
- You got no choice.

Stick your foot in the stirrup
here and climb aboard!

[Peter grunting]

I never thought we'd be
this close, McCloud!

I appreciate it, chief.

- Huh! [whistles] Hyah!
- Oh, no. No, no...

[instrumental music]

[tires screeching]

Mr. McCloud.

Forgive me for not being
surprised.

Yeah.

Well, you know, I was tryin' to

give 'em a hand with those

runaway horses,
but this little boy

he kinda bolted
and got away from me.

Ah, with both of you
in the saddle?

We're a team.

Where is the girl?

- What girl's that?
- Tatiana.

Clifford:
We left her at the theatre.

You see, we had an appointment

with the, uh, film company, uh,

to do a publicity tie-in
with Johnny Starbuck.

We arrested two members
of the film crew tonight

for possession of large amounts
of heroin.

That's good bit of police work.

Terrific.

I'm glad you approve...

Chief Clifford.

[instrumental music]

Marshal McCloud.

The next time you come
to our country

you might find benefit
in working with us.

[chuckles]

Well, I kinda think
I better get this horse

back to town before they think
I stole him.

Wouldn't wanna create
an international incident.

Terrible thought.

Dasvidaniya.

Marshal

why is it I feel
I've been rode hard

and put away wet?

There you go.
