All language subtitles for Hanover Street 1979 DVDRip Xvid LKRG

Oh, my God,
it's the baby !

Are you all right ?

I'm frightfully sorry.
It appears you've missed your bus.

I'm terribly sorry.
I didn't ...

You missed your bus.

- I don't own a bus.
- I'll buy you one.

Oh, how nice, a rich Yank.
No thank you.

Well, if you don't want a bus,
would you like a cup of coffee ?

I don't drink coffee.
I drink tea.

There probably won't be another bus
along here for quite some time.

Probably not.

You really drink this stuff,
don't you ?

No, we just like to pour it into cups and stir it.
Why did you ask ?

Tastes too much like boiled water.

It is boiled water.

I knew there was a reason.

Where are you from ?

- Chicago.
- Chicago.

- That's where gangsters come from, isn't it ?
- Not all of them.

Some of them come from Detroit, New York.
Chicago happens to grow the best ones.

- Are you a gangster ?
- Twelve arrests, no conviction.

Nobody's supposed to look
like that in a uniform.

- Well, how am I supposed to look ?
- Like a short man.

Your boiled water is getting cold.

Well, then let's order some more.

Please.

All right.

What about you ?

What about ...
what about me ?

Who are you ?
What are you ?

I'm a short man.
I was born in London.

I lived here all my life
and most probably always will.

- What do you do here ?
- I work in a hospital.

I tell young men that
they're going to be all right.

Then they believe me because they want to.
because they're so young.

Then, I watch them die.

I want it to all end.

I'll win the war for you.

That would be nice.

Are you stationed in London ?

No. Our base is an hour and a half from here.

Normally, I get a day every couple weeks.

- You're a pilot ?
- Yeah, Mig-25s.

Do you like to fly ?

I hate to walk.

My name's Halloran.
What's yours ?

Tell me about America.

I think you're lovely.

Tell me about Chicago.

Chicago's very windy.
Something is happening here.

- Please don't.
- Please don't what ?

- I have to go.
- I don't want you to go.

- I shouldn't be here.
- Yes, you should.

I have to go.

- I have to catch the bus.
- please don't leave like this.

- I have to.
- I wanna see you again.

I can't.
Oh, please.

I just have a few hours
before I have to be back.

Please don't do this to me.

We got to get into a shelter.

- I can't. I really can't.
- Why ?

You're trying to go away again,
but I'm not gonna let you.

I'm not gonna let you.

I ... I can't think.
I have to go home now.

- I'll take you there.
- No, you can't.

I have to go.

Hey, my name's Halloran.
David Halloran.

I'm from Chicago.
I'm not gonna let you go.

- Tell me your name.
- I'm sorry.

You're in my arms,
you won't tell me your name ?

- Oh, please, let me go.
- I have to see you again.

My next day off is in two weeks, Thursday.

- I can't.
- Meet me here. Right here.

- No.
- On the same corner.

- Right here.
- I won't be here.

I will.
I'll be here all day.

Please don't.
I won't come.

I'll be here.

You can't act like nothing's happened.
There's not enough time.

It's too late.

Now, the objective this morning
in this airfield ...

north, northeast of Rouen.

Reconnaissance showed we
didn't do too well here last night.

These dark circles here
are fuel storage tanks.

Now, they're under concrete,

so it will take
more than one direct hit
to knock them out.

Now again, the recon photos Show
they didn't take even one direct hit.

Now, we'll approach from the east.

We'll have the sun at our backs
and in their eyes.

- Now, they've got two fighters.
- How come he says, "We" ?

He's not going.
We're "we."

We can expect light to moderate flack.

We'll approach from 12,000.

The cloud cover is 6 to 8,000.

We'll drop at 6,000.
I wish I were going with you.

We'll stay,
and you can go.

- Lieutenant Halloran, something you wanna say ?
- No, sir.

I'm sure none of us want to miss whatever it is
you have to add, Lieutenant.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, what, Lieutenant ?

Yes, sir, I'm sure that none of us Would
like to miss anything I have to add, sir.

Except, I don't have anything to add, sir,

so there's nothing
for any of us to miss, sir.

Takeoff is at 08:00.
Good luck, gentlemen.

Light to moderate flack.
What the hell is light to moderate flack ?

Less than heavy flack.

It's more than no flack.

You got a point there.

He wishes he could go with us.

Well, somebody's got to
stay behind to volunteer us.

- This is radio check.
- Pilot to tail. Farrell, okay ?

Everything's fine, sir.
Radio's okay. Ammo's okay.

Radio check.
Pilot to waist. Giler ?

Yes, sir ?
How we doin' ?

All set, sir.
Radio's okay. Ammo's okay.

Radio check.
Pilot to turret. Lucas ?

Yes, sir. Ready, sir.
Uh, ammo's okay. Radio's okay.

- Bomb bay closed ?
- Bomb bay closed.

- Flaps locked ?
- Flaps locked.

Cimino.

I don't understand it.

They make it so goddamn
Hard to get in these things.

I don't even want to be
Here in the first place.

I mean, I can understand
them making it hard to get out.

Everybody wants to get out.

You know these things
are made of metal, right ?

Did you ever try and pick one up ?

- You can't.
- You know why ?

Because it's made of metal
and metal's heavy.

Very heavy.
You don't believe me ?

Just try and pick
one of these things up.

You'll see.
You'll wrench your back, that's what you'll do.

Air isn't heavy,
you know ?

This pile of junk is heavy.

It's heavier than air.
Much heavier.

Don't you see ?
This thing is not supposed to be up in the air.

Aw, Jesus,
I hate these things.

Pacer Leader to Pacer Group,
we are 20 miles from target.

Descending to 6,000.
Bombs away at 6,000.

Roger, Pacer Leader.
Descending to 6,000.

This is Pacer Leader to Group,
maintain your positions.

We are 12 miles from target.
Rate of descent ... 1,000 feet per minute.

Hey, they're shooting guns at us.

Somebody forgot to tell the Germans ...

they're only supposed to have
light to moderate flack today.

Bomb bay open.

Six miles to target.

Feather it.

- Number two feathered.
- Let's turn the hell back.

- How far from target ?
- Five miles. Let's turn the hell back !

He's right.
We'll have to slow to 200.

We'll be sitting ducks at that speed.

We're gonna get our asses shot off !

How far from target ?

Three miles.
Am I the only one who's not crazy here ?

Hey, Cimino, you ever
take a look at Hyer ?

If there's a god, he doesn't spend
all that time putting a guy like Hyer ...

through prep school and Yale to let him
do something messy like die in an airplane.

So, as long as we're in
the same plane as Hyer,

God's gonna have to figure
another way to get at us.

Yeah, I'm messy enough
to take Hyer down with me.

We're over the target.
We're over the target.

The wing is gonna fall off.
I'm gonna drop the bombs.

Let's get the hell out of here.
Just a second.

Son of a bitch, we're over the target !
The engine's falling off !

Hey, Chief,
what do you think ?

Well, I think it'll hold if you wanna wait.

Terrific. We've got
Sergeant York on the plane.

I hate you, Lucas,
goddamn it !

Look, we're over the goddamn target.
I'm gonna drop the bombs.

Let me drop the bombs.
We're over the target, I swear to God.

My guess is you may be
sighting a little bit early ...

because you're afraid
the wing's gonna fall off,

so I'm gonna wait
just a few more seconds.

If anyone's interested, I hate Lieutenant
David Halloran, Serial Number 057327 ...

9-6-9. For God's sake,
let him drop the bombs.

If we don't hit the stupid target now,
we're gonna have to come back again.

Okay, now we're really over
the goddamn target !

Well, drop the bombs !

They're away.

Oh, Jesus,
I hate these things !

I was there on the hollow of the
Street for over an hour, just watching you.

I was afraid, so I stayed
where you couldn't see me.

Are you still afraid ?

Yes.

It wasn't a few minutes ago when we had
something to do like driving or walking,

but now I just feel awkward again.

I don't know
what I'm doing here.

Yes, you do.

Yes, I do.

I'm not hungry anymore.

Neither am I.

I can get back to London next Thursday.

Yes.

- Tell me your name.
- I can't.

- Please.
- No, I'm frightened.

It's all happening so fast.

I bet your name is really ... Fred,
and you're embarrassed.

Hey, Fred ...

I think I love you.

Yes.

Pacer Leader to Pacer Group,
we are 20 miles from target.

Begin your descent now.
Bombs away at 8,000 feet.

Ten thousand.

Open bomb bays.

Bomb bays open.

Hey, they're shooting guns at us again.

How come every time we fly over
them, they shoot guns at us ?

Because we drop bombs on them.

They have no sense of humor.
Can't you guys take a joke ?

- Nine thousand.
- Five miles to target.

How far is target now ?

Three miles.

- Altitude ?
- 8,500.

We're just about over the target.

Altitude ?

8,200.

8,100.

- Cimino, drop 'em.
- Now ?

They're away.
Halloran, I love you.

There is a god.
There really is a god.

Ladies and gentlemen,
there really is a god.

I'm gonna go to church
as soon as we get back.

Oh, I haven't been there
in a little while.

What kind of babies do you get when
you cross a parakeet with a tiger ?

I give up.
What kind of babies ?

I don't know, but when he sings,
you better listen.

You think that's terribly funny,
don't you ?

Yes.
You're a wretched little child.

- If I am, it's your fault.
- Really ? Why ?

Mrs. Thomas said today that Children
are the reflection of their parents.

- Do you think that's true ?
- I don't know. If it is, how come Dennis Caine ...

- doesn't have a mustache like his father ?
- He's a reflection of his mother.

Dennis calls his mother and father by their names.
I think that's smashing.

Oh, you do.

I'm getting a little too old
to keep on calling you Mommy and Daddy.

You don't call me Mommy and Daddy.
You call me Daddy.

I'm serious.
I think from now on I shall call you Paul.

- If that's what you'd like.
- Yes, Paul, that's what I would like.

I think that from now on
I shall call you Margaret.

And I think from now on
I shall call you Rover.

- I think I'll call you Mommy.
- For a very short person, you're not bad at all.

- Do you like more tea ?
- Yes, Love some.

Judy Fox stole my key chain,
the one with the four-leaf clover.

- Stole it ?
- Yes.

How do you know she stole it ?

I brought it to school ...
I always carry it ...

and when I was getting changed
after hockey, I couldn't find it.

And then later,
she had it.

When I told her it was mine,
she said she always had it.

I wasn't the only person who
had a four-leaf clover key chain.

And I know it's mine.
She's really a nit.

Everybody's supposed to be
nice to her just because her father died.

- When did her father die ?
- A few months ago. He was in the hospital.

She said it was
her key chain, and it isn't.

I'm glad you're intelligent
and you won't get killed.

I'm in Intelligence.
I'm not intelligent.

And you should be
especially kind to her now.

You won't die,
will you, Daddy ?

I thought you were gonna call me Paul ?

- Promise me.
- I promise you.

- And you will always love me ?
- I will always love you.

- And you will always love Mommy ?
- I will always love Mommy.

- Even when you're 80 ?
- Yes.

I will have to take my false teeth out of the glass ...

and put them in my mouth to kiss her.

Now, we're going back to Rouen today.

I think I'm going to be sick.

We have reason to believe the Krauts are
sending a train of ammunition from Rouen, south.

Now, they're gonna be expecting us.
It's not gonna be easy.

- We reckon we'll get a lot of flack.
- I'm definitely gonna be sick.

Halloran, you fly lead.
Patman, you fly second lead.

Now, we got cloud cover from 8-10,000.

Scattered clouds from 15,000.
You make your drop at 6,000.

Now, I know what it's going to be like,
so be careful.

"He knows what it's gonna be like."

He flew 100 missions over Lackland, Texas,
and he knows what it's gonna be like.

Now, we should have five to
ten-mile visibility below 8,000,

and you make your approach
from south to north.

You gotta hand it to him,
nobody ever took Texas while he was there.

Takeoff is at 0830.
Good luck, men.

I wish I could have
gone with you. Dismissed.

Lieutenant Halloran, I'd like
to speak with you for a moment.

Take it easy with him.
Don't say anything you'll regret later.

Don't take it easy with him.
Say something you'll regret later.

Maybe we'll get grounded.

Sit down, Lieutenant.

You know, in every group of men,
there's always one man ...

the others look to for leadership.

Now, in this group,
you happen to be that man.

You set a good example,
the others will follow.

You know, you've got the makings
of a very fine officer.

You could go far.
You could go very far.

It's your attitude that concerns me.

- Now, you understand what I'm saying ?
- No, sir.

I don't like you either, buster.

Now, you stop crapping around in the briefings,
you understand ?

No, sir.

What do you mean, "No." ?

No, sir. I don't understand, sir.
What's "crapping around," sir ?

You're a wiseass.

You even say "sir" like a wiseass.

How should I say "sir," sir ?

I'm gonna get you.
That's what I'm gonna do.

Blink the wrong way and I'm gonna nail you.
Do you understand ?

Yes, sir,
you're gonna nail me.

Will you get the hell out of here ?

- You okay ?
- Yeah.

- What did he say ?
- He said he didn't like my attitude.

- Lucas, did you check this gear ?
- I checked it, sir.

I checked all of them like I always do.
Tire pressure ?

Fine, sir ? What's the matter, sir ?
You've never done this before.

Check them again.

I like this attitude.

It's different,
but it's one fine attitude.

When I was a little girl, I used
To spend summers at my grandfather's.

- It looked exactly like this.
- You worked on a farm ?

- Yes, why ?
- I don't know.

- You just don't seem like the farm type to me.
- I can milk a cow.

- Her Ladyship can milk a cow ?
- She can.

- With her very own hands ?
- No, with her feet.

Why do you find it so incredible that
I can milk a cow ? Lots of people can.

Haven't you ever milked one ?

- I opened a bottle once.
- Don't they drink milk in Chicago ?

Sure. How do you think baby
Gangsters grow up to be big gangsters ?

There's a place to eat over there.
You hungry ?

- Famished.
- Good. So am I.

I want some tea.
I love tea.

- Did I ever tell you that ?
- No.

Well, it's true.
I drink it all the time.

Halloran ?

Yes.

I love you.
My name is Margaret.

No kidding ?

No kidding.

You love me ?

I love you.

Your name's Margaret ?

My name's Margaret.

Maggie.
I love the name Maggie.

I can't stop it, you know,
no matter how hard I try.

It terrifies me how much I want you.

It must be wrong to want somebody this urgently.

I know later that I'll feel guilty.

Later, I'll hurt terribly.

Except I'm with you now And
that's all I can think about.

I love you, Margaret.

I love you, Halloran.

Captain Sellinger,
I believe you've met
Captain Lester ?

Yes, sir, I have.

New tobacco.
Do you like it ?

Yes, it seems quite pleasant.

Aromatic.

Bad business.
Very bad.

- I Beg your pardon ?
- Captain Lester.

As you know, two months ago, one of
your agents, Reed, was dropped in Lyons.

- Two weeks later, he was killed.
- Yes ?

A month ago, you sent another agent in.

- Forbes. A good man.
- Quite.

Yesterday, we received word
That Forbes has been found dead.

What do you think ?

I trained both of those men.

I knew them well.
Very well.

They ... They were not the kind
of men to make mistakes.

Especially mistakes so glaring they would
be found out in two or three weeks.

There's a leak.
There has to be a leak somewhere.

The identity of those men had to have
been known before they were dropped.

It would take that long
just to find them.

There's a double agent here,
fairly high up, I'd say.

It's the only explanation I can have.

I agree.

The last communication
we received from Forbes ...

was that, uh,
gestapo headquarters in Lyons ...

has a list of double agents in London.

He said he was going to get that list.
That's the last we heard from him.

This stuff is bloody awful.
It may smell good. It tastes like hell.

Well, it's obvious we're going to have
to send somebody in to get that list.

- In gestapo headquarters in Lyons ?
- That's where the list is.

That's where our man will have to go.

- He had three children.
- Did you say something ?

I was saying that Forbes
had three children.

Yes. It's obvious we're going to have
to do this differently this time.

No one, I mean no one outside
of this room may know of it.

No one in O.S.S.
No one in G-2. No one.

Our man can't even transmit the list back.
Once he gets it,

he must make a copy of it and bring it
back without the Germans knowing about it.

- Who do we have ?
- I've narrowed the list to two ...

McCallum and Wells.

- I say Wells.
- Quite right.

- You will work with him.
- I'm not sure if he's ready.

You make him ready.

Oh, that's better.
They can take that aromatic and put it in their noses.

Oh, God, I think I'm going to die.

- Of what ?
- Look, Mommy,

- isn't she beautiful ?
- Yes, she is.

Isn't she the most beautiful thing you ever saw ?

- No.
- Who's more beautiful than she is ?

You are.

She can close her eyes,
and you can curl her hair.

Yes, she's a wonderful doll.

Let's think of what
to get Daddy for Christmas.

I suppose there's no reason in particular
that you wanted me to see that doll.

No reason in particular.

It has nothing to do with Christmas ?

Of course not.
Mommy, when am I going to get breasts ?

- Next Tuesday. Why ?
- I don't know.

Sometimes I think they look silly.

Well, they do look best with formal wear.

What would Daddy like ?

I think he'd like
anything you'd get him.

I want to get him something special.

Uh ... how about a tie ?

A tie's nice,
but Daddy has ties.

Daddy has most of
the things we've seen.

I want to get him something
that he doesn't have.

Well, get him a dress.

Just get him something you like.
Daddy will love that because it's from you.

Not because it's blue or red,
but because it's from you.

Mommy, do you know any Germans ?

- Uh, not too many.
- What are they like ?

I don't really know.
Probably very much like us.

Do you think there are German
children buying Christmas presents ...

- for their fathers right now ?
- Yes, I suppose so.

Handkerchiefs !
Let's get Daddy handkerchiefs !

I can never get over the way it looks
like the propellers are spinning backwards.

Backwards ?
The propellers are spinning backwards ?

- Forget it.
- Forget it ?

The goddamn propellers are spinning backwards.
I'm supposed to forget it ?

- It's an optical illusion. I was simply saying ...
- Forget it !

Optical illusion, my ass.
How do you know forward from backwards with a propeller ?

When we take off for France,
if we land in New York,

the propellers are spinning backwards.

- I hope they're spinning backwards.
- Tower, this is Leader. Over.

- Leader, this is Tower. Over.
- Starting to taxi. Over.

- Roger, Leader. Over.
- Just my luck. They're spinning forward.

Want me to take it up for you ?

No.

- Listen to number one.
- Why, what's wrong ?

I don't know.
Something doesn't sound right.

Leader, this is Tower.
Over.

Just one second, Tower.
Over.

- Check the RPMs.
- RPMs normal.

- Oil pressure ?
- Leader, this is Tower. Over.

Lucas, are you hearing number one ?
Something doesn't sound right.

Can't tell from here, sir.
Did you check the gauges ?

- The gauges are okay.
- I can't tell from here.

I hear something wrong.
I hear everything wrong.

Something's not right.

The gauges don't always show it.

Leader, this is Tower.
Please answer. Over.

Tower, this is Leader.
Over.

Begin your takeoff.

I ... I got a problem with my number one.
I'm coming back. Over.

Repeat that please, Leader.

I got a problem with my number one. Over.
I'm coming back.

Uh, Roger, Leader.
You are returning to base.

Patman, you're the new leader. Over.

Roger, Tower. Over.

Price, you become Patman's number two.
Patterson, please follow Price.

Patman, you are clear
for takeoff. Over.

Roger, Tower.
Clear for takeoff.

Now listen, you creature,
it's very late.

If you want Christmas morning to come,
you'll have to go to sleep now.

- But I can't sleep.
- I know that, but you have to.

Father Christmas will not bring
you anything until you're asleep.

- Why ?
- It's the rules.

- I just want to say hello to him.
- He's busy.

Will the Germans shoot him
while he's flying ?

No, no, of course not.

I don't care what I get.
Well, I mean, anything will make me happy.

Of course. There's nothing
in particular that you want.

Oh, no, nothing in particular.
Anything will make me happy.

Uh, it would be nice, though,
if I had a little friend of my own to play with.

I'll have another baby.

You know what I mean.
Not a real person, just a ... Well, you know.

I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about.

Now, good night, old friend.

Dream the sweetest dreams.
Tomorrow is Christmas.

If you don't go to sleep now,
I'll strangle you.

Well, young lady, if you're
not tired, I am.

Wait till you see what I got you.

If it's from you, I'll love it.
Good night.

Good night.

I'm sound asleep.

Did you put her present out for tomorrow ?

Yes. It's right in the
Middle of the living room.

Her glazed little eyes
staring at the window.

What is it she wants
with another doll ?

God knows.

I've never seen a child want anything
more than she wants that doll.

Sarah's hands are so small.

I don't know, during the day when
she's rushing around like a maniac ...

she doesn't seem so small.

But when she's in her bed
and she's sleepy ...

I think she shrinks.

I know what you mean.

It's so strange.

It's Christmas Eve,
and we're fighting a war.

Fighting wars never seemed
to make much sense.

Just seems it makes less sense
on Christmas Eve.

I wonder what the other
Side is thinking right now.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

I love you.

I love you.

Harriet, you haven a beautiful throat.
Do you know that ?

- My name is Phyllis.
- Of course it is.

You have a beautiful throat too.

- Do you want to dance ?
- Susan, my darling ...

ordinarily that would be
a wonderful suggestion.

Under certain conditions,
I am your actual Fred Astaire.

However, since the injury ...

What injury ?

I don't like to talk about it.

I didn't know you were wounded.

Just a little shrapnel in the leg.

How come they didn't send you
Home if you were wounded ?

They wanted to.
I wouldn't go.

Nothing will keep me from flying.

- Oh, Lieutenant, that's really very, very ...
- Paula, my sweet ...

Paula, it's really nothing
to make a fuss about.

Sometimes the pain ...

What's life without pain,
I always say.

How about another
little drinky, huh ?

Hey, Cimino.
Hyer. Hello, Hyer.

Listen, listen,
you gotta help me.

- Have you met Barbara ?
- Phyllis !

- Have you ever seen such a throat ?
- Listen, Jerry.

I got this one all primed.
Except she won't leave her friend alone.

Hyer, you know, I've always harbored a
suspicion that blue eyes don't see so good.

Too much inbreeding.

Have you ... Have you taken
a good look at Dorothy ?

What am I gonna do ?

How about Halloran ?
Give one to Halloran.

- I don't think so.
- Come on. It's a terrific idea.

Come on, Rita.
We're gonna all go over and be with Halloran.

Hey, I thought you had
an injured leg.

My God,
I can walk again !

Ladies,
this is our leader.

Leader,
these are our ladies.

This is Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, meet Halloran.

Hello.

- This is Audrey.
- Phyllis !

- Where are you from ?
- Illinois.

- The decorations are very pretty, aren't they ?
- Yes.

Let's go somewhere we can be alone.

I want to stay here.

It's Christmas,
and I am Your actual serviceman alone overseas.

I want to stay here.

Marion,
perhaps you are a spy.

- Hey, are you all right ?
- Yeah.

Let me put it another way.
Let's fool around.

- Okay.
- There is a god.

They're back.

- Where's Patman ?
- He'll be here in a minute. Don't worry.

- Who's Patman ?
- Patman, my luscious Linda ...

is the brave soul who flew
lead instead of us this fine day ...

because of a port engine
with the holiday spirit.

He'll be here in a minute.

- Hey, Beef.
- Oh, Halloran. How you doing ?

- How did it go today ?
- Not so good. We lost three.

Yeah, you are one lucky son of a bitch,
let me tell you.

- Where's Patman ?
- One lucky son of a bitch.
- Where's Patman ?

I never saw an airplane break up
into so many little pieces.

- Where's Patman ?
- He took a direct hit.

It must have been right in
the bomb bay with a full load.

- Maybe he bailed out.
- Not a chance.

I never saw so many little pieces.

Hey, where's that Cimino, huh ?
I wanna tell him.

If it hadn't been for that engine of yours,
it would have been you instead of Patman.

I wanna tell Cimino to go
Kiss that engine of yours.

Hey, what's the matter ?

You heard it, didn't you ?
The port engine, something was wrong.

- Sure. Come on. Sit down.
- You heard something wrong, didn't you ?

Every time an engine starts up,
I hear something wrong.

It was something.

It was.

Ladies, let's all play
follow-the-leader.

Come on, Francine.

- You found it, didn't you ?
- Lieutenant ?

- You found it, goddamn you.
You found it, right ?
- I don't know yet.

- Tell me you found it, you jerk !
- Take it easy !

- He heard it !
- Take it easy.

Excuse me, Flo.
Don't go away.

- Hi, guys.
- I heard it. I heard it !

Come on.

I heard it. I heard it, believe me.
Patman, I heard it !

- I thought we were gonna play.
- No, we're not gonna play.

Believe me, Patman !
I heard it, Patman !

Goddamn you !
Goddamn you, Patman !

Keller. Helmut Keller.

Essen.

1908.

Major.

Ruth.

Carl.

Please, don't smoke.

Lieutenant Wells ...

English is a language
you do not understand.

You have never spoken
a word of it in your life.

They didn't teach you
English in Essen.

You must never speak in English
or respond to English, even around here.

No matter who is talking to you,
if it is in English.

You do not understand.

I don't care if it's the P.M.
himself who's talking to you.

One slip like that,
and you're quite dead.

All right, lesson over.

It's time we took a break.

Don't be discouraged.
You're doing fine. Just fine.

Come on.
I'll pay for the tea.

Come on.
It's all right.

Lieutenant Wells,
class is over for the afternoon.

Sometimes when we're together ...

I feel so close that I don't know
where I end and you begin.

I never knew it could be like that.

I was 19 when I got married.

He was the only man I'd ever known.

I never felt I lacked anything,
it's just that I wasn't sure if this was it.

If this was everything.

Maybe that's why I went with you
that first day at the bus stop.

It's so damned unfair.

I try so hard to forget you.
I really do.

I wind up spending more of my
Time trying to forget you,

which is the same as thinking
of you all the time.

I don't want to hurt anybody.
I don't want to do anything wrong.

Sometimes I sit across the dinner table from him,
and I watch him.

And I want him so
Desperately to do something ...

or say something or be
something that I can hate.

But he never does.

I've hurt him so much.

It makes me hate myself.
I wish I'd never met you.

But then when I'm with you ...

and it's so strong,
and I don't ever want to let you go.

Why don't things work out
the way they're supposed to ?

I don't know how things
are supposed to work out.

And I don't know anymore
what I heard in that engine.

A couple of months ago, the whole
propeller could have fallen off ...

and I wouldn't have gone back.

It's so damn easy to be brave When
you haven't got anything to lose.

I'm scared now.
I don't want to die and not see you anymore.

Nothing makes any sense until I'm with you,
and then everything makes sense.

I don't wanna let you go.
I just wanna be with you all the time.

I don't want to wake up in the morning
and not know if I'm going to see you ever.

I'm tired of missing you,
and I don't even know your last name.

I'm all in pieces.
I want you to put me back together.

Hold me now and make
everything outside go away.

On the way in to see you ...

I was trying to think of a way ...

to tell you that we shouldn't
see each other anymore.

I did the same thing.

Now, here you have
your two main types ...

your combination lock
and your key lock.

Now, with your combination lock, which
works on what we call a series of tumblers ...

first you have to find out whether
it's a three or a four-number combination.

And then whether you first move
to the right or the left.

If it's your key lock, it's just
the matter of finding a proper key.

In the absence of a key, a problem
which has confronted many folks,

there are certain very delicate
instruments that do a right proper job.

And then, why it's just a matter
of learning how to use them.

How long will it take
to learn to open one ?

Well, I ... You got to
understand that, uh,

opening these things is not something
any old bloke can do, you know.

It's what you might call a gift,
even if I do say so myself.

Well, let's say that
Lieutenant Wells is gifted.

Well, if it's a key lock,
a couple of days.

If it's a combination lock,
I'd say about six months.

Well, the safe we're interested in
is a Kohner 3-3-5.

That's a Gerry safe.
Yes, Harry.

- You may have noticed we're
at war with the Germans.
- You've got a point there.

- Which is it ?
- Well, you're in luck.

It's a key lock.
Any school kid could crack it.

As a matter of fact, I cracked One
almost like it when I was a school kid.

Right. Now, gentlemen,

here you have before your eyes
your lock pick.

And you have here your safe, which is
almost the same as your Kohner 3-3-5.

Now, you insert your lock pick
into your Kohner 3-3-5.

Feeling your way
through the elements.

For your personal information,
there happen to be four.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Apple pie.
Bleedin' apple pie.

Hey, nice to see you, Lieutenant.

- Nice to see you, sir.
- Why don't you sit down ?

I have a little problem.
It's a mission. A special mission.

The group sent down word
that they needed a volunteer.

Now, it is considered a bit risky,
so they wanted to put it on a voluntary basis.

It's for tomorrow night.
Oh, about the other day.

I checked with the mechanic.
It's strange.

He couldn't find a thing wrong
with that port engine.

Now, if you felt there was Something
wrong, well, I'm sure there was.

If you heard it ...

Look, a mechanic's
not a pilot, right ?

I don't listen to
any kind of rumor. Never.

Sure there's been a lot of talk around.
You know what a base is like.

You can't pay any attention
to that kind of talk.

Look, I don't believe
for a moment ...

that you made the whole
thing up about that engine.

Not a word.
Just gossip.

Now where was I ?
Oh, yeah.

That mission tomorrow night.

Now, I knew ... that you'd
want to volunteer to do it.

It's not that you've got
anything to prove.

I just felt that
you'd like to go for it.

Now, I told Operations ...

to have those engines double checked.

So, I'm quite sure you won't Be
disappointed and have to cancel that flight.

- Is he ready ?
- I think he's as ready as he ever will be.

What do you mean by that ?

I can't be too specific.
There's nothing wrong with Wells,

he does everything the way
he's supposed to.

I'd simply prefer him to be
a bit more spontaneous.

- Spontaneous ?
- Well, once you teach him
something he learns it.

However, I'm not totally sure
how he will react ...

if something occurs
that he isn't prepared for.

Well, then, let's hope
you prepare him for everything.

Well, that would be nice.

New stuff, this ?
It's supposed to be a cooler smoke.

We're not going to send
Wells on a regular flight.

Afraid we have to be a bit
paranoid about the leak in Intelligence.

We're going to drop him
in a totally different way.

If this stuff is supposed to be cool,
I'd hate to think what they call hot.

No, we're not going to use Intelligence for
the flight. Chaps don't even know about it.

We're not even going to use
a transport aircraft.

As a matter of fact, we're not
even going to use a British aircraft.

I say, Sellinger, would you Mind
coming with me across the street ?

There's a tobacconist over there.

- Hello, how are you feeling ?
- Fine, thank you.

- Hello, handsome.
- Hello, what's it today, then ?

I do hope you like potatoes.

- Your dinner is served, milord.
- I think I'll take it in the study, thank you.

Very good, milord.

- There's a phone call for you, Margaret.
- Where ?

- The nurses' station.
- Thank you.

- Hello ?
- Hello ? Hello ?

I can't hear you, it's madness here.
Is that you, Paul ?

Yes. Yes.
Can you hear me now ?

- It's better, but you'll have to speak up.
- Is this all right ?

- It's fine. Is anything the matter ?
- No, no nothing.

I had no special reason for calling.
I'm sorry if I disturbed you.

I just wanted to hear
your voice, that's all.

Don't be silly, you haven't disturbed me.
I'm glad to hear your voice too.

- I love you, Margaret.
- I love you too.

- I know I'm not that special.
- What are you talking about ?

- Of course you're special.
- Oh, no, I'm not, and we both know it.

- It's just my curse to be so damned ordinary.
- Paul ?

I do so want ...
I do so want to be dashing.

It's not that I don't want to be,
but I can't blame you for finding me unexciting.

Paul, I don't know why
you're talking like this.

You're very special,
and very dashing.

Mrs. Sellinger, ward four,
please.

I ... I didn't mean
to disturb you.

- Paul, I'm so glad you called, but ...
- Mrs. Sellinger, ward four.

Paul, I'm sorry, I have to go now,
they're calling me.

I understand, darling,
I'll talk to you later.

- I love you.
- Paul ?

Yes, Captain Sellinger ?

Will you get me Lieutenant Wells
on the line, please ?

- Hey, it's dark out.
- No kidding ?

No, really,
I wouldn't fool you.

Why are we the only plane taking off ?

'Cause we got a special mission.

Lucky us. You know, when it's
dark out, you can bump into things.

I'll be real careful.
Hey, Cimino, where are the bombs ?

There's no bombs onboard.
We're a bomber, we're supposed to drop bombs.

Where are the bombs ?
No bombs. I like that.

You know, bombs are dangerous on
account of the fact they can blow up.

Both of you
shut up, will you ?

We're waiting for an
English guy named Wells.

We're going to drop him
instead of bombs.

I like that. Dropping a person
instead of a bomb on account of the fact ...

that people don't blow up
the way bombs do.

- Starting port engines.
- Starting port engines.

How do they sound, sir ?

They sound fine, Giler.
Even if they don't sound fine, they sound fine.

Wonder where the hell
that English guy is.

It's dark out.
Maybe he's not so stupid.

- Is this Wells ?
- No, there's been a change of some kind.

Are you Captain Sellinger ?
Captain, Lieutenant Halloran.

- Hello ?
- Mommy, Mommy.

Hello, darling.
Oh, your hair smells nice.

- Mrs. Clarin washed it for me
and got soap in my eyes.
- Did you cry ?

Wouldn't you cry if Mrs. Clarin
got soap in your eyes ?

Yes, I think I would.
Where's Daddy ?

He came home early,
then went out again.

Mrs. Clarin gave me dinner and was
just putting me to sleep when you came home.

- Did he say where he was going ?
- He left a note on the pillow.

I think that's romantic.

What does Daddy say ?
Is it mushy ?

Daddy has to go away
on a little trip.

When will he be back ?

- Soon ... very soon.
- Will he bring me something ?

Your coat's all wet. I did a painting
Of Tyrannosaurus Rex in orange.

Have you ever seen an orange
Tyrannosaurus Rex ?

Come, Mommy, look at it.
Mommy, come on.

Listen, I don't mean to be pushy, but
you know that Englishman we got onboard ?

He isn't an Englishman,
he's your actual Kraut.

You can tell by the Little
lightning bolts on his collar.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.
We decided the Germans can't lose.

- We're going to be on their side now.
- Oh, good. I like the uniforms.

- Captain Sellinger, you okay ?
- Quite well, thank you.

We're over the French coast,
we'll try and avoid any German position.

I'm beginning to think
this isn't such a crazy mission.

When the times comes, we'll remove
The belly hatch where you'll drop through.

Remember to keep your arms tight to
your body until you're clear of the props.

I shall remember,
thank you.

Oh, Jesus Christ !

How bad is it ?
How bad is it ?

No. It's a mistake.

You're not supposed to die.
Please, stop it.

- It's all a mistake.
- Lieutenant Halloran ?
Are you all right ?

We're hit up here, bad.
I don't know if I can keep it flying.

- I'm afraid we've been hit back here.
- How bad ?

Rather bad, I think they're both dead.

Lucas ? Giler ?

Cimino ? Cimino !

Oh, Cimino. Don't do this.
Please don't.

My God.
He has no face.

The two men back there,
they're dead.

He has no face.

Keep your hands tight.
Don't pull the ring till you're clear.

It's like somebody took a vacuum
Cleaner and straightened out the mess.

They're all gone.

It's not right.
Should've left a mark.

I'm really sorry.

I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry
I caused all this.

It's not your fault.

Do you know where we are ?

About 20 miles south of Lyons.

Well, that's where I have to go.

I gotta make my way to the channel.
It's the other direction.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

And thank you for everything.

I beg your pardon, Lieutenant.
Lyons is north of here, you say ?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Uh, I hate to impose on you, but,
you happen to know which way is north ?

- Yeah, that way.
- Thank you again.

Oh ! Damn.

I say, Lieutenant Halloran,

I'm really sorry to be
such a burden to you.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind
giving me a hand ?

It's probably sprained. It's not broken,
it's going to be sore for awhile.

You mind if I ask you a question ?
No, not at all.

I was wondering, seeing as how
you don't know north from south,

and you can't take ten steps
without falling on your ass ...

I was wondering, have you ever
done anything like this before ?

- Well, now that you mention it, no.
- Wonderful.

Well, you look real spiffy
in the uniform.

I don't want to go with you,
you know. Not one bit.

You don't know what the hell you're doing.

And I certainly don't know
what the hell I'm doing.

But here I am,
as we speak, going with you.

We're going to get
our asses shot off.

Well, I'm really grateful
to you. I really am.

That's just swell.

- Hello ?
- This is Mrs. Sellinger ?

- This is Major Trumbo.
- Oh, my God, it's Paul.

Is he all right ?

The plane he was on was shot down.

I have no more information
than that at this time.

However, it's quite possible that
He bailed out and he's absolutely fine.

I just don't know right now.
Mrs. Sellinger, are you there ?

- Yes.
- As soon as I learn anything more,

I will be sure to call you.

Your husband's a good man, intelligent.
I'm certain he's all right.

I just can't understand why he went In
place of Wells. Can't understand it at all.

Not like him to be so impulsive.

I'll call you as soon as I learn anything.
I'm sure he's fine.

Mrs. Sellinger,
are you there ?

Thank you.

Thank you for calling.

Mommy,
is everything all right ?

How far do you think we've gone ?

How am I supposed to know ?
You're the goddamn spy, not me.

Don't you guys have a
magic manual or something ...

- that teaches you all that stuff ?
- Oh, yes, yes, we do.

- Didn't you ever read it ?
- I helped write it.

Well, what does it say
about measuring distances ?

- I forget.
- Jesus, we're going to get
our asses shot off.

Oh, no.

You think you could
give me a hand here ?

She's going to kill me,
she thinks I'm German.

I wonder why she thinks you're German.

Uh, Betty Grable, Hershey bars,
Yankee Stadium ? Hello, Joe.

She said she had a brother
who was killed by the Germans.

Her father refused
to do anything about it.

He's a collaborator ... out of fear
more than anything else I should suppose.

She says she's doing
what he should be doing.

It's ... It's his car,
she says we can take it.

This is ... This is going to
work out rather well.

- I'm thrilled.
- As an SS officer, I'm entitled to an aide.

You're wearing the uniform of a sergeant.
You won't look at all out of place.

Where won't it look out of place ?

At Gestapo Headquarters in Lyons.

Listen, you've got a perfect
Right to get yourself killed ...

and I've got a right to stay alive.

I fully appreciate the position
I've placed you in, Lieutenant,

but I just don't think I can do this
thing alone because my leg is hurt ...

and this thing has got to be done.
it's that important.

I don't speak German,
in case you didn't notice.

How am I going to fool
anybody if I don't speak German ?

Well, If you don't speak to anyone,
then no one will know you don't speak German.

- That makes sense, doesn't it ?
- Shit.

- Better get rid of those cigarettes.
- What ?

And the lighter.
They're American.

- Mind if I ask you something ?
- No, not at all.

Why did you decide to go
instead of that guy, Wells ?

Ah, that's rather complicated.
I don't know how to answer that.

Try.

All my life,
no matter what I did ...

I've always been
the same thing ... pleasant.

I'm ... I'm pleasant.
I was a teacher, that's a pleasant profession.

I'm rather pleasant looking,
if I do say so myself.

If anyone were asked to describe me,
they'd say I was ... pleasant.

Oh, I've never minded it
that much before.

Except now,
it's beginning to hurt.

More than I ever thought
anything could hurt.

- I don't know what you mean.
- Well, take a look at yourself.

- I can't, I'm driving.
- I'm serious.

Take a good look at yourself,
and you'll see a hero.

I'm not a hero,
and I don't want to be one.

Even if you don't want to be one, you are.
You can't help it.

You're the one who is
ice-skating on the lake ...

when the little boy falls into
the freezing water, and you save him.

I'm the one who gives you
my coat to wrap him in.

And when it's all over, you're on
the front page of all the newspapers,

saying it was really nothing ...

and I have a wet coat.

Are you kidding ?

You're supposed to
open the door for me.

They changed it.
They put in a new safe.

It's a combination safe.
I haven't the foggiest notion how to open it.

I love it.

Why, Mrs. Sellinger,
what a pleasant surprise.

I am sorry to barge in
on you like this, Major Trumbo.

It's just that I haven't heard
anything since we spoke last night,

and I've been beside myself.

I was hoping that
you'd learned something new.

Won't you sit down ?
Would you like a glass of sherry ?

- No, thank you.
- Cigarette ?

Major,
what the hell happened ?

We don't know.
The plane is missing.

Not a word,
not a trace, nothing.

I still can't understand
why Paul acted so impulsively.

- I can.
- Really ? Why ?

It's not something I can explain.

Well, Mrs. Sellinger,
I do assure you I will contact you ...

the moment I hear anything.

I've spoken to the American
colonel ... Bart, I think his name is,

and they're waiting
for some word themselves.

- Who's Colonel Bart ?
- Paul was in an American plane
from the Eighth Air Force.

- This man, Bart, is the wing commander.
- Where's he located ?

At Windsor Field.

Thank you very much, Major.

I do apologize
for pestering you so.

Mrs. Sellinger, seeing Colonel
Bart won't accomplish anything.

He knows no more than I do.

I'm sure you're right.

Thank you again.

Cigarette ?

Are you out of your goddamned mind ?

Achtung !

- Mrs. Sellinger ?
- Yes.

I'm Colonel Bart.
Major Trumbo told me you'd be coming around.

It's nice of you to take
time to speak with me.

- Not at all. Please sit down.
- Thank you.

You must think
I'm an awful pest.

It's just that I have to
know for myself what's happened.

Well, yes, of course.
We received no notification of survivors.

Can't send reconnaissance
aircraft in to check ...

for fear of drawing attention to the mission.

- You understand ?
- No, I don't.

Yeah, well ...
there's every chance
they managed to bail out.

- But you don't know for sure ?
- No.

No, I don't. Except I do know
that if they did bail out ...

your husband is in very good hands.

The pilot, Lieutenant Halloran,

is a very determined,
very resourceful man.

Apple pie ?

Well, we did it.

We actually did it.

Look, I don't want to
cramp your style or anything ...

- but we're still not out of France yet.
- We'll get out all right.

- It'd be silly for us to come
this far and not get out.
- Ruin my whole day.

I can go back now.

I can be more for her to see.

She must be very special.
She is very special.

Have you ever felt that
Way about any woman ?

Yeah.

I do now.

Except with me it's different.
Ever since I met her ...

I don't know who I am anymore.

Well, I know who you are.
You're a good and brave man.

I don't feel very brave.

That's absurd.

Look what you've done.

I didn't do anything
except try and stay alive.

Whatever I did,
I did 'cause I was too scared to die.

The only men who are brave
are the frightened men.

Men who aren't frightened
aren't brave, they're insane.

You're only brave
when there's something to lose.

And you still try.

When we get back,
go to her, hold her ...

and never let go.

That's what I'm going to do
when I see Margaret.

Tell me more about your wife.
What's her name ?

Margaret. God, I love that name,
don't you ?

Yeah.

How do I tell you about her ?

Well, if there is really such
a thing as one woman for you ...

it's Margaret for me.

I know that sounds like
something out of Mother Goose ...

but it's true.

We have a daughter, Sarah.
She looks like her mother,

which is reason enough
to think she's beautiful.

Here, this is Margaret.

- She's lovely, isn't she ?
- Yeah.

Well, that's marvelous.
She says there's a bridge ...

about eight kilometers
from here to the left.

There's a resistance group waiting for us.

Merci.

Come on, old man.
Eat something.

- Here's your watch.
- Oh, thanks.

Son of a bitch ! That girl's fink
Father must have called the Germans.

Perfect.

Will you come on !

I think I left my kidneys back there.

You've still got your ass.

- Grab on !
- I can't, go back.

I'm too scared to argue with you.
Grab on, goddamn it !

You're going to get us both killed.

When you get back to London,
please look up my wife.

Her name is Margaret.

Please, tell her Her
husband died a brave man.

Tell her ... yourself.

Well, I ...

get the wet coat again.

No, pal.
This time you get the girl.

No. Oh, no.

No, you don't, not now.
If you die on me, I'll kill you.

Do you want to play cards ?
I feel like demolishing you.

You're trying to be cheerful
because you're worried about Daddy.

He's going to be all right.

I love you more than it's
Possible to love anyone, you know ?

Hello ? Yes ?

Mommy, is it good crying
or bad crying ?

I knew it.

Captain Sellinger, which room is he in please ?
I'm his wife.

Uh, 4-4-2, Mrs. Sellinger.
Just down the corridor.

Hello, old friend.

It's so unfair for anybody's
eyes to be that color.

Halloran ... I ...

Me too.

Are you all right ?
Are you hurt ?

I was lost for awhile,
but I think I'm back now.

I just wish your eyes
weren't that color.

There's a man in a room down there.

A good man.
I wish he wasn't.

When I first heard that you'd
Been shot down together ...

I felt I was being punished.

Then after awhile ...

I knew that you would take care of him,
that you would come back.

I love you enough to let you go,
