Firefox Page #3

Wonder if we should call them?

See if someone there knows you.

No.

I think we shall trust you.

Your papers appear to be in order.

I apologize for any delay.

We are engaged in searching for

criminals, shall we say?

But you are free to continue your

nocturnal sightseeing tour of our city.

Thank you.

Good.

-Let's get the hell out of here.

-This way, down Kirov Street.

-They found him.

-Let's go.

He has to change, come on.

Your name is Boris Glazunov.

You are married and have two children:

A boy, 3, and a little girl, 4.

You live in a flat on the Mira Prospekt,

and you work for this company.

You are my driver's mate.

This Boris Glazunov,

does he work for the cause too?

Glazunov stays home today.

You will take his place.

Like Leon Sprague did?

Does he die like Sprague?

Mr. Sprague served a purpose.

You must remember...

...Mr. Sprague was a smuggler in heroin.

He was not one of us.

Study these. You must know

everything about Glazunov.

They would not look here.

Gant.

Can you fly that plane? Really fly it?

Yeah, I can fly it.

I'm the best there is.

Boris Glazunov?

How many?

One car and three men inside.

Keep watching.

Gant! We must leave now!

They are here. They are out front.

Quickly!

-Do they know?

-No.

These aren't the ones

who followed you last night.

These are KGB assigned to the plane.

-They are coming for me.

-For you?

They know about me.

You can use this?

-Yeah, I can use it.

-Good.

Don't, unless it's absolutely necessary.

Two of them just left, in a delivery truck.

What do you wish me to do, colonel?

Stay with them, but do not close up.

I'll check with Priabin.

Okay, sir.

What happens if they stop us?

If we are stopped,

there are other arrangements.

Other arrangements?

-We've got over 600 miles to go today.

-I am ordered to die, if necessary.

To ensure that you get away free.

What is it with you Jews, anyway?

Don't you ever get tired

of fighting city hall?

Fighting city hall, as you say, Mr. Gant,

is a freedom we dont enjoy.

Dr. Baranovich and Semelovsky...

...are amongst the most brilliant minds

in Soviet science.

They were born here.

This is their country too.

But when the Firefox project is to be

completed, they will be sent somewhere.

Just because of their

religious heritage.

And you? What happens to you?

I don't know. I'm not a Jew, Mr. Gant.

Yes, colonel?

Priabin has just arrested

Boris Glazunov at his flat.

-Who is in the van with Upenskoy?

-It should be Boris Glazunov.

Exactly.

It should be Glazunov, should it not?

If Upenskoy is making a delivery,

should it not?

Yes, colonel.

The truck is heading out of the city.

Shall we pick them up as ordered?

This is....

This is most curious.

Where is Upenskoy scheduled

to make the delivery?

I don't know, but we can find out.

No! I want you to stay back.

Follow them until

they reach the checkpoint.

Priabin is bringing in the other Jew.

Perhaps he can tell me something.

Your photograph is being taken now.

The KGB is in the door.

As far as I can tell, that's Leon Sprague.

You could not be mistaken, Mr. Hoskins?

I don't think so, inspector.

There's quite a bit of damage, of course.

Indeed. Almost as if his former associate

did not want him to be recognized.

-But why?

-I don't know, Mr. Hoskins.

Nor do you, I suppose.

I have a wife.

-Did I tell you that, Gant?

-No, you didn't mention it.

She is a Jew.

She is educated.

And still she married me.

She's been in prison for 12 years...

...for demonstrating against

the invasion of Czechoslovakia.

They do not treat her well in prison.

I've spent the last 12 years

trying to be worthy of her.

-What is it?

-Well, sir, I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, sir.

-You have killed him.

-You pressed me!

-He knew nothing, sir.

-What?

-What does that mean?

-He was ordered to stay home today.

That's all he knew.

He would have told us under the pentathol

if he had anything to tell.

Very well, Dmitri.

Contact the tail car.

Have the van stopped.

Semelovsky was at the gasoline station.

I didn't speak to him but he was there.

-He'll be waiting for me after this turnoff.

-Yes, on that road.

You're going to have to jump for it.

I'll try not to let them overtake me

for as long past the guard post as possible.

Don't get yourself caught, now.

Not if I can help it.

Ready yourself.

Don't say anything.

Your words would be useless.

Maybe even insulting.

Just fly the damn plane.

Dr. Semelovsky?

You're late.

It was a long walk.

It's a question of the guards.

A little longer...

...and one of the guard posts would have

sent someone to discover where I was.

It's almost an hour since I checked in

with the first guard post.

That is why the car has to, for all intents

and purposes, be broken down.

I am sorry I cannot be

more accommodating.

Won't they search it?

It was searched already

at the guard post.

Now get in. Please, we must hurry.

Quickly!

Where have you been?

You were checked through an hour ago.

Damn, the car broke down.

Much as the present Five-Year Plan

has achieved...

...it has not solved the problem

of the Moskvitch.

Open the hood.

That engine's filthy.

You're a scientist,

you should be more careful, huh?

They work us too hard.

You are here, Mr. Gant.

Mr. Gant, I'm Dr. Baranovich. Please....

This is Natalia.

So we have some food for you.

Don't be afraid, you can speak.

They're listening, but we've devised

prerecorded tapes for them.

Television noise, innocuous talk.

Well, we do not have many hours left.

Come, you must be hungry.

There's another fence, electric.

Guarded by these watchtowers.

Inside the perimeter fence is only

one other gate, through this fence.

Here, on the other side.

It is used only by security personnel.

-It is the one you will use.

-How?

With bravado, naturally. And a little

help from myself and the others.

Don't worry about it. Do you smoke?

-No, not for years.

-Learn again, now.

These aren't even Russian cigarettes.

Foreign cigarettes will prove

as convincing as anything else.

Even your papers.

So you go from this gate here.

You'll move to this area here,

on the other side of the airstrip.

This building is the hangar

where the work is done.

There's a corridor here,

to the pilots' dressing rooms.

Get there as soon as you can.

Your pilot,

Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Voskov...

...will arrive some hours before the flight.

You must be ready for him.

What about visitors?

I may be there three or four hours.

Conceal Voskov's body.

There are a number of lockers.

All with good locks.

Since you don't appear

to be very much like Voskov...

...except in general build,

you'll be taking a shower.

-For three hours?

-You'll appear to be taking a shower.

We'll be in the main hangar

working on the aircraft.

When the time draws near for our

diversion to occur, you will dress.

And the visor of your helmet

will conceal your features.

What is this diversion?

Ah. You need not worry.
