633 Squadron Page #3

Blue Leader to squadron.

Form on Scott,

return to station.

Come in.

Sorry to disturb you.

I wanted to speak to you.

Come on in.

What's up?

I've come to say good-bye.

Good-bye?

Yes. Davis had word

from the underground.

They have not been able

to raise enough men.

They're dropping me in tonight.

How are you

going to get more men?

There is a unit operating

in the mountains...

just north of the fjord.

I might be

able to bring them down.

If you can get by

the German lines.

Yes.

Hello. This is Grant.

Get me Operations.

Hold on.

I'll fly you in.

They've already assigned

a Mitchell.

The hell with the Mitchell.

I'll fly the drop.

Hello, Jerry?

Get my ship on the line.

I'm making a drop tonight.

Right.

You should not

take unnecessary risks.

Look who's talking.

I would like to see Hilde

before I go.

All right. We'll pick her up

after I talk to Davis.

We'd planned on going

to the party tonight.

The one for Bissel and Mary.

They're getting married,

aren't they?

It's funny.

Two die, two get married.

Kind of evens things up.

I thought you were

against marriage.

I'm also against death...

but it happens anyway.

I'd feel better

if I could fly him myself, sir.

I've ordered a Mitchell

to fly him in...

and make an arms drop

at the same time.

Could I fly the Mitchell?

You're grounded until M-Day.

Grounded?

When did that happen?

I've just made the decision.

Scott can lead the remainder

of the practice flights.

What kind of a decision is that?

You're too important to risk.

Yes, sir.

Is it all right if

I drive him to the airplane...

or is that too great a risk?

We'll take a chance on it.

Thank you, sir.

When the war is over, we can

take Roy sailing on our lake.

Will you come, Roy?

Sure, I'll come.

And we can go fishing

like before.

You like to fish?

Yeah, I like to fish.

Good.

That will be something

to look forward to, huh?

Hilde?

Take good care of her, Roy.

Good luck

when you hit that ground.

And to you in the air.

All right.

Are you angry with me?

No. Why should I be angry?

You don't seem to be friendly.

Hell, I'm friendly.

I got a lot on my mind.

Now you've got me besides.

Is that what

you were thinking of?

No.

I promise

I won't be a bother...

but one favor I have to ask you.

Let me know if

there is some news about Erik.

Sure. Give me your address

and I'll let you know.

I'm staying here

until I know he's safe.

No. I don't think

that's a good idea.

Why not?

There are a lot of

hungry characters around here.

I think you do not understand.

Erik is all that's left for me

in the world...

and now he's gone.

Yeah, I understand.

I'm sorry.

Pardon me!

Happy days, old boy.

And nights.

Rosie!

Rosie!

I'm coming!

Come on!

All the bubbly will be gone!

How about these?

Is that all you could get?

There is a war on, you know.

You could have fooled me.

I'll get some more tin cans.

Sounds like quite a party.

You want to join them?

No. I'm not in a party mood.

I'll just go up to my room.

All right.

You don't have to see me in.

I promised Erik

I'd take care of you.

I know what it is.

You don't want to throw me

to those hungry characters.

That's right.

Here comes the bride!

Skipper!

Care to kiss the bride?

You bet.

Just a minute! That's enough!

Good luck, Bissel.

I brought my luck with me.

Come on, guys!

Don't worry.

It's not contagious.

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Good night, and thank you.

Good night. Hilde?

Yes?

I've been grounded.

Grounded?

I won't be flying

for a couple of days...

and I was wondering...

if tomorrow

you were free, maybe...

If you're inviting me,

the answer is yes.

Good night.

Good night.

Erik!

It's good to have you back.

Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- Down!

They haven't

patrolled here before.

It happened three days ago.

They're all over the place.

Twenty hostages

were shot yesterday...

for a bridge Goth blew up.

You had orders. No attacks.

His sister was raped.

We must bury the chute.

With all

the German patrols...

it would be better

to wait till dark.

We can't.

The weapons must get through

to the other units.

Easy.

Slow down at the barricade.

Go!

Over the bridge!

I'll cover you!

Go on! Over the bridge!

What did you do

before the war, Roy?

I was a barnstormer.

Barnstormer?

Aerial circuses, aerobatics,

things like that.

Now you fly in the war.

Do you hate the Germans?

I never met any.

The only ones I've ever seen

have been through a gun sight.

Not the best way

to get acquainted.

Why did you

enter the war so early?

I had to do something.

The air circus folded,

so I joined the Eagle Squadron.

It was different with me.

Where I grew up,

everything was very safe.

I got one.

Bring him in

before he gets away!

No, he might throw the hook.

The idea is to give him

a little bit of play.

It's a sardine!

It's a Norwegian sardine.

How'd he get over here?

All right, little sardine,

back to your fjord.

Now, you want

to take that over there?

Straighten the line out?

That's it.

Get it straight now.

You're very good.

I used to do it

for the fishermen.

Sometimes they took me

out on the boat with them.

Don, you're up late.

Roy... they've captured Erik.

The Gestapo's got him...

and they've had him

since 8:
00 this morning.

You know what that means.

They'll work on him...

and they'll break him down

and make him talk.

This whole operation's in danger

unless we can stop it.

How?

We know the building

they've got him in...

Gestapo headquarters in Bergen.

This building must be bombed.

We believe

that a single Mosquito...

might get through tonight

and stop him.

You want a killer, right?

We need a man to do a job.

You want a killer.

Listen, Roy...

do you remember

Charlie, that collie I had?

Remember how we nursed him

when he was run over?

But it was no good.

He was in pain,

so I had to shoot him.

I don't care about

your canine love stories.

We're talking about

a man's life.

We are talking

about many men's lives!

I'm grounded, remember?

That order can be rescinded

in the circumstances.

What circumstances?

If you should volunteer.

Is there a choice?

Yes.

It's a hell of choice.

Who'll be my navigator?

Bissel's volunteered.

Tell him to get my plane ready.

I'll be out in half an hour.

We'll be waiting for you.

Get me The Black Swan.

How are you feeling, Lieutenant?

Very sociable.

Listen to me, Lieutenant.

I'm going to ask you

some questions.

You will have to answer them

sooner or later.

You will save yourself much pain

by answering now.

What were you doing in England,

and whom did you see?

I was not in England.

Come, Lieutenant...

those canisters and weapons

we found.

I know nothing about them.

You are insulting

our intelligence.

We will try something

nearer home.

What is the location of

your underground headquarters?

I have nothing to say.

Surely you would not deny

you are a member?

I have nothing to say.
