Hello, everybody. Today we announce

Hello, Chief.

So you found the man...

Yes. He's in the house next to

the American Air Base at Baywaters...

Well, we'll have to get him then.

Yes, I think we should.

Geroge. Bill. Let's go.

Captain Lyndhurst.

Assault Team Commander. Is Preston here

Through there.

I'm Julian Lyndhurst.

John Preston.

Have they told you anything?

Just that he's a terrorist.

Oh, he's more than just a terrorist.

He is a top Soviet agent.

A pro.

Is he alone?

Maybe there's a woman in there.

He's armed. With a bomb.

How big a bomb?

Atomic bomb.

Deep in our hearts I do belive that

we shall overcome some day.

The time is nine o'clock.

You are listening

to the English Language Service

of Radio Moscow.

And here is the news.

You're reader, Paul...

by their soviet comrades

in arms continued

their sweep against fascist,

CIA backed rabels

You correspondent in Kabul reports

Entering Cherryhayes fifteen seconds.

Go ahead.

Including large areas

of the valley have been liberated

and restored to the arrival

of Government and soviet forces

have everywhere been greeted

with dubilation by the liberated

the Afghanis army reported

the capture of...

Ginger?

Hold position. There's a civilian

on the street.

Ginger...

Ginger.

Come on!

Ginger! Come on down from there!

We're bloody exposed out here.

While trying to escape to join

the rebels as lies and distortion.

Here, Ginger!

Continuing his tours

of collective farms

in the Maldazian Republic...

Ginger easy now. Ginger!

Politburo member,

this year for soviet agriculture

to a cheering crowd of farm workers...

Eays. Eays.

For Christ's sake!

With the order of Heroes

Ginger!

Hogs and corn are not setting

an example to the whole nation...

In Lybia today progressive Arab leaders

Colonel Gaddafi met to discuss further

measures in the cntinuing struggle

against American and Zionist

imperialism in the Middle East.

Let me go!

Put me down!

Shut up!

Go!

Don't shoot it's me!

Stop!

Go back in your homes

and remain there...

We needed to talk to him!

Sorry, boss orders.

Stay in doors!

Stay away from the windows...

I'll be a couple of minutes.

Okay Dad.

We are gathered here today

to give thanks to the life

of our friend, Mr Bernard Hemmings

we are grateful for the privilege

of having known him for all of us,

I believe, have had our lives enriched

and enhanced

by the example he has set us.

For Bernard conducted himself

thorughout his distinguished career

with unfailing cheerfulness and with

generosity of spirits and with charity.

In commemorating him today

I do not think it is too much to say...

Excuse me. Thank you.

That his passing marks the end

of an era.

It is our fondest desire that

he may gain here...

Preston what do you want?

I've been trying to speak

to you for two weeks.

I want to know why

the Russian was killed.

I believe he was crawling towards

an atomic bomb at the time.

No he wasn't. He was "executed"

on your orders.

Or was it on yours General?

Why did you send Winkler? Your man

with the obviously forged passport

to lead us to Petrofsky.

You deliberately wasted

the whole operation.

Why did you do that, General?

You and Irvine set it up, didn't you?

You gave us Petrofsky in return for

the evidence that you were using

to destroy Govorshin.

You could well become

the next Chairman of the KGB.

Preston you are out of your depth.

It's all a game to you, isn't it?

You don't give a sh*t

about any thing except

your lousy careers. Neither of you.

It's about time they put you

in a f***ing musuem.

Do you think he'll talk?

Dad!

Where are we going?

Home.
