---

an entire week in Philadelphia.

Maybe so. You can talk

about freedom all you want,

but still don't know

what it's like to have to fight for it.

Perhaps my lecture was unwarranted.

I am grateful for what you did back there.

You'd really like America.

We've got the Liberty Bell,

Disneyland on both coasts.

It's happening.

I'm sorry. I really don't know any German.

That's all right. I know a little German.

He's sitting over there.

What do you recommend?

I recommend the pork bellies

marinated in diced pig entrails

or the roast swine knuckles

poached with flaming hog balls.

Anything's fine.

- Thank you...

- Hillary.

That's an unusual name.

It's German. It means,

she whose bosoms defy gravity.

Pleased to meet you.

My name's Nick.

Nick, what does that mean?

Nothing. My dad thought of it

while he was shaving.

Are you in some kind of trouble

with the police?

Some things are better left unsaid.

Like what?

Sometimes when you blow your nose

into a tissue and put it in your purse.

Then you reach for your lipstick, your hand

gushes into it, and it goes all over...

You're right.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen.

We are fortunate to have with us tonight,

a singer, whose great talent

is exceeded only by his devotion

to his country.

He truly has the gift of song.

A golden voice. Inspired talent and...

Is there something wrong?

I was afraid this might happen.

General Streck of the High Command

is a most fervent admirer,

and owns a complete set of his works.

He is a very shy and gentle man,

but perhaps we could persuade him

to sing for us.

Shall we ask him?

I better do what they want.

I promised my manager.

Thank you, sir.

Watch the change

in the second chorus.

Oh, my God.

Your hog balls, sir.

Cedric!

- What have they done to you?

- It was a trap!

They must have known

I was staying at the Howard Johnson's.

- But who did this?

- Never mind about that.

We've got to rescue your father

before it's too late.

But what are we going to do?

I was...

...supposed to go to the ballet tonight,

to meet a man called "The Torch".

Thank you.

He's the leader of the Resistance.

He'll help us find your father.

- I'll go.

- No, you can't go. It's too dangerous.

I must! He'll be tortured.

All right, but be very careful at the ballet.

Where is the ticket?

In the glove compartment.

Can you reach it from the inside?

How about the other hand?

No, that's not it. Let me try.

Here it is.

Come on, we've got to get out of here.

- Shouldn't we wait for the police?

- That was the police!

In here.

We can get out this way.

- Wait. First you can explain.

- I'm not sure I can.

I only know I have put you in great danger.

Trust me. You must come with me.

I don't know what trouble you're in,

but don't worry about me.

I'm a guest of the government.

I can explain everything.

But you're mistaken. They'll put you in...

Go while you still can.

They can't do anything to me.

Martin, boy am I glad to see you.

I've been here 20 minutes already.

Nick, I've tried everything.

The Embassy, the German Government,

the consulate.

I even talked to the UN Ambassador.

It's no use.

I just can't bring my wife to orgasm.

That's a shame, Martin.

Have you tried one of these?

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm getting worried about this place.

I don't think they've even heard of a trial.

All I know is, after you left the cafe

last night, I met a girl.

Later at the ballet she was alone.

Then I see this guy with a gun at her head.

He's looking like he's gonna kill her

and might have if I hadn't stepped in.

There's got to be someone you can call,

to straighten this mess out.

I figure they've got to let you out

for your concert, Friday night.

They're beaming it live by satellite

to 85 countries.

Just relax and remember,

there's nothing to worry about.

Amen.

We wish to impress upon you, Mr Rivers,

that we have methods of dealing

with those who will not cooperate.

For the last time,

why did you attack Sergeant Kruger?

I didn't know who it was.

I just saw him pull a gun on a girl.

Might I remind you, Mr Rivers, the penalty

for murder is death by firing squad.

Let us hope for your sake

that Sergeant Kruger survives.

It is the hospital, mein General.

What is the condition of Sergeant Kruger?

I see. Let me know if there

is any change in his condition.

He is dead.

You leave me no alternative,

but to introduce two of my associates.

Bruno is almost blind.

He has to operate wholly by touch.

Klaus is a moron, who knows only what

he reads in "The New York Post".

I believe they never let a man

lose consciousness

however long they may work on him.

You don't scare me.

My manager is on his way

to the American Consulate.

Do not be so sure, Mr Rivers.

Evidently, your friend did not realise

that here in East Germany

we use 220 volt current.

He was found in his hotel room impaled

on a large electrical device.

Our surgeons did what they could

but it took them two hours

just to get the smile off his face.

Perhaps the American

has chosen to reconsider.

Make sure they leave no marks.

Do you know which room

the final chemistry exam is in?

All the exams are over.

Haven't you been to class?

- No.

- But it's the end of the semester.

No, I haven't studied.

Oh no, I'm back in school.

I can't believe I'm back in school.

Thank God.

Well?

They're still working on him.

He won't break.

They've tried everything.

Do you want me to bring out

the LeRoy Neiman paintings?

No. We cannot risk violating

the Geneva Convention.

We'll break him tomorrow.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

My name is Nick Rivers.

Who are you?

I am Dr Paul Flammond.

I am a prisoner here, just like you.

A year ago, I was close to perfecting

the first magnetic desalinisation process.

So revolutionary,

it was capable of removing the salt

from over 500 million gallons

of sea water a day.

Do you realise what that could mean

to the starving nations of the earth?

They'd have enough salt to last forever.

But then one night,

the Secret Police broke into my house.

They tore me from my family,

ransacked my laboratory

and brought me to this dungeon.

That sucks!

For the first time in my life,

- I am ashamed of being a scientist.

- What do you mean?

They are forcing me to create

a horrible weapon.

- Can't you refuse?

- I wish I could.

But they are holding my daughter.

They'll kill her unless I complete

the Polaris Mine by Sunday.

Sunday? That's Simchas Torah.

And the day the entire NATO

submarine fleet

passes through the Straits of Gibraltar.

Is this the Polaris mine?

Yes. By Sunday I will be able to arm it

with a nuclear warhead.

- How does it work?

- It is a magnetic mine

so powerful it will attract itself

to submarines miles away.

- How about that?

- Oh, no.

Go quickly. If they find out

you've seen this, your life will be worth less

than a truck load of dead rats
