Your bosses got these from a MiG-25

they borrowed from Syria.

-What's the news on our friends?

-Trouble.

Radar contact.

Two aircraft heading this way.

They were heading west

into the decoy area.

Yeah. Helicopters from that cruiser.

You know how to make trouble

for me, Gant. You really do.

-How long before they get here?

-Eight minutes.

Commence Operation Harmless.

Commence Operation Harmless.

We've got eight minutes, maybe less.

Move it!

-Contact is confirmed.

-Calm yourself.

-Calm myself?

-Yes, calm yourself.

How can I be calm when

your stupidity-- Stupidity!

--is losing that aircraft to the Americans?

You know what this man Gant is!

He could land on an ice floe

and take off again.

You must act, first secretary!

Very well, Vladimirov.

What is it you require?

The immediate recall of the second MiG

from the North Cape rendezvous.

Operation Harmless. Fleischer.

ETA:
5 minutes, 40 seconds.

All right, this is it.

I want you to call out exact speed

and distance every 30 seconds.

Yes, sir.

-She's all fired up and ready to go, sir.

-You'll have to steam me a runway.

-Can you do that in three minutes?

-That's impossible, major. Why?

Surface snow is too hard

on the landing gear.

-Get to it, Peck.

-Yes, sir.

I want steam hoses up here

on the double!

-They'll never make it.

-They'll make it.

Sir, they want identification immediately.

The hell they do.

You know the routine. Stall them.

They want to speak to you, sir.

-Tell them I'm taking temperature readings.

-Yes, sir.

We're asking for your cooperation.

We want identification

from the superior officer.

Sorry, but as I said...

...the captain is involved in an important

experiment at the other end of the floe.

All right, team. Come on, you guys!

Move it! Let's go!

The mans got a plane to catch!

-You've gotta go now.

-I'm worried about you guys.

-They'll be watching my heat trail.

-We're in international waters.

As long as you're out of here when they

get here. You will be, won't you?

-So fast you can't believe it.

-You better be right.

ETA:
60 seconds. They keep

asking for you, sir. They want convincing.

-I haven't done a very good job.

-The hell with that.

Just keep stalling them.

Okay, secure this detail!

-So long, captain. Thanks.

-Get out of here, you bum.

-ETA:
30 seconds.

-Gotcha.

Guys, look alive! We're a weather party!

Don't just stand there!

Come on,

we're the greeting party. Here they come.

-We're friendly. Wave, Stewart.

-Wave?

Sixteen thousand feet.

New coordinates punched in.

Radar says all clear.

Nothing can touch us now.

I'll be seeing you in a couple hours.

Better ice up a cold one.

Missiles avoided.

Where did they come from?

I don't know what it is.

I'm a sitting duck.

The second Firefox.

Fire rearward missile.

Come on, damn it, now!

You must think in Russian.

Think in Russian.

Punching in new coordinates.

I'm coming home.
