Departure, 1500, front entrance.
That'll be all.
[Grunting]
Uh... you.
[Grunting, Punching Continue]
concealed weapons, search thoroughly.
- Even below the knees.
- Hands up!
No, aim for the point
on the chin. The button.
Try it again.
Hands up!
That's better.
Start the fall from here. Follow it
right on over. Watch carefully.
I'm very relaxed,
you understand? And slap.
Here...
Slap hard. All right... you.
Don't forget the slap.
It'll break the force of your fall.
Good. All right.
Slap harder.
[Planes Crashing]
You have exactly one minute.
Time.!
What kind of planes
were involved?
How many motors
on the second plane?
Which plane was cut in half:
Top, bottom or the center?
How many planes crashed? If more
than one, which plane crashed first?
[Tapping]

All O77 agents had to be able to send...
at least ten words a minute.
as communicators...
received more thorough training.
[Tapping Continues]
- Now, listen.
- [Air Roaring]
[Roaring Continues]
- [Roaring Stops]
- Was that a freight train...
or a 155-millimeter shell
passing overhead?
Now, listen carefully.
[Metal Clicks]
A door latch or the cocking
of a.45 caliber pistol?
[Whistling Descending]
[Whistling Continues]
Ajungle bird or a falling bomb?
- [Dinging]
- Someone tapping on a champagne glass...
or Swiss bells?
Wind from the northeast.

Simulate your flashlights
and mark the strip.

Keep that bundle dry.! Go.
That room there.
That there.
Right. Left. That room right there.
Come on. Snap it up!
Mr. Jones is the president of a plant
which produces a secret war weapon.
You have been discovered
in his office going through papers
on his desk. What were you doing?
- Mr. Jones sent me there.
- That's a lie.
- No. That's why I have his key.
- Where did you get it?
- Mr. Jones gave it. At the restaurant.
- Key to his private office?
What were you after?
A very important telephone number.
He sent me for it.
- Mr. Jones sent you?
- When?
Oh, 20 minutes ago.
It, uh...
- It was a... lady's telephone number.
- Why didn't Mr. Jones come?
He was dining with someone. He...
- He didn't want her to come with him.
- Who?
- His wife.
- You're lying.
- No.
- You're a Nazi agent.
- No!
- What were you doing in that office?
[Sharkey] "How long does it take
to install this detonator?
"Nine... Find out the advantages offered
by this new detonator over the old one.
Ten... Get all secret data possible:
Blueprints, drawings, etc."
Now, there's your test.
Any questions?
"72 hours." Does that mean
back here in 72 hours?
- Correct. Very little time.
- The submarine base
in New London or Portsmouth?
You have your choice. They both
make and install the equipment.
And very well-guarded too.
But that shouldn't pose any
great difficulty for a couple
ofbright lads like you.
- He really dug down deep for that one.
- Interesting problem.
- That's about all. Wasting time.
- We're ready.
You're free to leave anytime.
Call the Special Equipment Department.
- A camera's a useful gadget.
- Thanks, Pappy.
Good hunting.
- Good old Pappy.
- Yeah.
The camera's a good idea.
Unless we can get our hands
on the blueprints.
- They don't leave blueprints
lying around to copy.
- Yeah.
Two problems:
How to get in, and...
We'll get jobs as laborers.
It'll take less faking.
- How can we get close enough
to photograph the parts?
- We won't find out here.
- Any luck?
- They assemble the detonators
in the exploder room.
- Yeah?
- But you can't get near it.
- We gotta be back tomorrow morning.
- Here's the angle.
- They take the detonators to the
torpedo shed where they install them.
- Is that restricted too?
When they change shifts,
they leave everything.
The whistle goes, they walk out.
Before the next shift gets in,
the detonators are left lying around.
- That's when to get the pictures.
- Right.
I'll head for the torpedo shed.
You tail me.
- But get the pictures. That's
the important thing. I'll cover you.
- Right.
[Metal Clanking, Motors Running]
[Horn Sounding]
[Horn Continues]
[Horn Stops]
- What are you doing in here?
- I work here.
You're not supposed
to be in here.
- I didn't know.
- Didn't know you're not
supposed to smoke here?
- I wasn't smoking.
- What are you doing with matches?
- Nothing. I was just...
- Gimme those matches.
- I wasn't smoking!
- Why don't you do like I told you...
- What's the matter?
- This fellow was gonna smoke.
This is a restricted section.
I'm his security officer.
My credentials.
Had my eye on this guy all day.
Your number is six, huh?
Let me call for ya.
I'm gonna take him
for questioning.
Gimme those matches.
[Indistinct]
- Hope I didn't hurt you.
- Hurt me? You saved me
from blowing the problem.
This is a... a badge of honor.
- Where did you get that card?
- In the special service section.
I didn't tell you.
- Bill, we made it.
- Hope so.
Have you found the German agent?
Yes. O'Connell.
He stands at the head ofhis class.
That was the lead.
And the report on
the final problem clinched it.
- Have you read it?
- Yes.
I checked the results
of the other groups on the problem.
- It was designed for them
to make mistakes.
- O'Connell didn't make any.
Thanks to quick thinking... too
quick for a beginner. O'Connell
has been through it all before.
This is a manual from the German
espionage school. Very good too.
"Es gibt keine Kameraden.
"Greift selbst den Kameraden an.
Verdachtigt ihn.
Vernichtet ihn wenn notig."
"There are no comrades.
Turn in a comrade, accuse him,
even destroy him if necessary."
Well, there it is.
That was the technique he used.
American kids would have slugged
the guard and fought together.
- Would you say he was good?
- Only one thing the matter...
he's on the wrong side.
- His name is Kuncel. Abwehr Five.
One of their best.
- K-U-N-Z-E-L?
- C-E-L.
- C-E-L.
- When do you want to pick him up?
- Kuncel's going with
the group to London.
He must never know
that he's suspected.
That's why no one has been told.
- It's going to be
more difficult for you.
- I'll be careful.
We've had him pegged,
but we've nursed him along.
He's after something big,
or it wouldn't be Kuncel.
- Information on our organization?
- It's bigger than that.
Second front.
That's what we think.
Where and when.
They'd love to have that.
Kuncel's a big shot.
The German High Command is
counting on what he brings in.
That's our hunch anyway.
Now, we've got to arrange for Kuncel
to get information...
the wrong information...
and take it to the German High Command.
