- Have they caught Newbigen yet?

- No, he got clean away.

- I can find him for you, General.

- You, boy, are gonna be shot.

If I don't find him for you

in two days' time

he's gonna be in Moscow.

Then where's your invasion?

Still talking to save your life.

I don't trust you.

If you want Leo

you're gonna have to trust me.

- Because I know how to find him.

- He might be right, General.

How do I know you're telling the truth?

You don't know, General.

But you're gonna have to take the chance.

Cut him loose.

Find Leo Newbigen.

Bring him to me in Finland.

Don't try to cheat me. My arm is long

and my vengeance is total. Remember.

- I'll remember.

- Just remember to find Leo.

Macey, Jim,

you go along to take care of him.

I don't need taking care of, General.

Oh, yes you do.

Hold it, fellows, hold it. Please.

- She's got the eggs.

- If you touch me, I smash them.

Let her go. Let her go.

- Don't miss your train.

- I won't, but you will.

- Why'd you let her go?

- She's found Leo for us.

- What happened to you?

- I got held up.

- What do we do now?

- Get in the car!

And the next move you make,

we will be in Russia.

Ook

Leo, get up and come out this door.

Get the parcel.

- You know what you're doing?

- Get out.

You stay there.

Leo, get in the train.

Harry, stay where you are.

Leo, come quick! Quick!

Come, Leo. Quick!

- Thank you, Leo.

- No!

Come on, Leo.

Let's go and see General Midwinter.

Attention!

Tomorrow morning at dawn

the peoples of Latvia

go into battle for freedom.

Tomorrow morning at dawn

we are going to be there to help them.

Men, our cause is just,

our mission is historic.

You are already heroes.

With God on our side, how can we fail?

She used me, Harry.

She used me.

He's going through with it, Leo.

Midwinter.

You've got to stop him.

I'll do anything you say.

To your stations. Move!

Vanguard proceeding according to plan.

Give the order to advance.

Vanguard on Baltic, General.

Thickness of ice, 27 inches.

- Maximum weight?

- 23 tons per vehicle, General.

That's plenty.

Vanguard report coastal navigation

lights in position, General.

We're on the ice. Speed 42 knots.

- Estimated travelling time?

- 3 hours 7 minutes, General.

Riga. Very soon.

Just about there now, General.

- But still no news of the uprising.

- The Communists are suppressing it.

Unidentified vehicle

approaching through convoy, General.

Alien aircraft on bearing

three four zero coming on fast, General.

Prepare the missiles.

Independent fire.

- Vehicle coming up alongside, General.

- Shoot him! Shoot him!

- Should we take evasive action, General?

- Go on!

I am going to crucify every Red atheist.

I am going to destroy

the pagan Communists forever.

We're hit!

I think we're under the ice!

- English, we meet again.

- Very efficient.

He was a very stupid man.

A patriot, of course. And very brave.

During a war such men earn medals,

win victories.

We are proud of them.

But at such a time as now...

a little bit stupid.

Do you know my agent in Finland?

- Yours?

- Sure.

- She's a fine girl, don't you think?

- She can be a bit sharp.

Hello.

Now, give him our present.

Come on! He's waiting.

For Colonel Ross, with my regards.

Tell him we don't need them,

we have our own ideas about viruses.

Tell him Porton is still, shall we say,

a little primitive for us.

Goodbye, Harry.

Goodbye, Colonel Stok.

Goodbye, Harry.

We would have made nice babies together.

Goodbye.

Yes?

Yes?

- I believe you were looking for these.

- The eggs.

With Colonel Stok's compliments.

I think you richly deserve that

extra 300 pounds a year you asked for.

In fact, I have quite a lot of...

How about 200 pounds, sir?
