The plane went down behind the lines, Mr.
Goldman after the pilot had photographed both weapons and men being supplied to Katara.
Which is a direct violation of the treaty.
And that treaty was agreed upon by all the major powers.
No weapons were to be supplied to either side in any confrontation between the new African nations.
Mr.
Goldman, my department urgently needs that film shown to the United Nations.
Why don't you just send a patrol in there and get it? If that patrol was spotted by the Katarans it could be considered an act of war.
No, this is a one man job.
Where exactly is the location of the plane, General? The plane is equipped with an emergency locator beacon that right now has something less than 20 hours of power.
Mr.
Goldman, we know that you have a special man who's available for secret and urgent assignments.
We need that man.
It looks good at NASA One.
Roger.
BCS Arm switch is on.
Okay, Victor.
Landing Rocket Arm switch is on.
Here comes the throttle.
Circuit breakers in.
We have separation.
Inboard and outboards are on.
I'm comin' forward with the side stick.
Looks good.
Ah, Roger.
I've got a blowout in damper three.
Get your pitch to zero.
Pitch is out.
I can't hold altitude! Correction.
Alpha Hold is off.
Threat selector is emergency.
Flight Com, I can't hold it! She's breaking up! She's breaking-- Steve Austin.
Astronaut.
A man barely alive.
We can rebuild him.
We have the technology.
We can make him better than he was.
Better, stronger, faster.
Little Orphan, this is Mother Hen.
Advise position and eject.
Negative, Mother Hen.

Standby for coded message.
7-0-14 2-3-5.
And he rode the plane down, huh? I guess he figured he could bring the pictures out.
We haven't heard from him, so I assume that he's killed.
What about the Katara radar? They've had a 12 hour start to find the L-5.
The plane has an electronic jammer.
They don't know where it is unless they had an eyewitness report.
The last reading we got from the plane's emergency locator beacon tells us that the peak signal was in, well, this area right here.
Mountains.
Part mountains, part mesa.
Steve, they want you to parachute in there locate the plane before the Katara Army does and get the film back here.
You want me to drag the plane back too? We want you to destroy the plane.
We've arranged for you to fly to Nairobi where you'll catch a Jeep that will take you across the border to a Mygunda airstrip.
There you will meet a Captain Braco of the Mygunda Air Force who will fly you to the jump site in Katara.
When do I leave? Three minutes ago, pal.
Colonel Austin? Captain Braco.
Thanks for helping us out.
Anything I can do to help.
You'll be jumping here.
I flew over once this morning.
The beacon signal's getting weaker, but it's still going on.
Weather's holding up.
Minimal wind.
So, you're in business.
Except the Katara patrol come across the border every other day trying to wipe us out.
Now, where you are going, they put Americans up against the wall.
So you'll be needing this.
Oh, no thanks.
Those things are dangerous.
What if you get caught? I'll figure something out.
Okay.
Let's go.
You get her started.
I wanna use your radio.
K-7, K-7.
This is Blue Sparrow.
Do you read me? Blue Sparrow, this is K-7.
Go ahead.
Estimated time of jump into sector 42, 15:30.
Weather clear.
Any further instructions? Negative Blue Sparrow.
You're on your own.
Good luck.
Roger.
Out.
She acting up? Like always.
Sounds like the battery's dead.
I'll turn it over, you hop in.
I got a knack with machinery.
You do your job, and I'll take care of mine.
Alright, Captain.
Sure you can't use some help? I'm sure.
Get your belt on.
You couldn't have started that prop with the compression holding it back.
I sweet talk machines.
It makes a difference.
You know how to fly? It's too late now, isn't it? Hear anything? No, you see anything? No.
Let's go around once more.
How you feeling? I'll survive.
You know I better-- I better try to find the L-5 from the ground.
Think you can fly this crate back by yourself? No problem.
You got her.
You take care of yourself.
Okay.
Jajamin, look! Parachute! Run! Quick! Get the soldiers! I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to startle you.
Do you speak English? Parlez-vous Français? Deutsche? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? American.
A-mer-i-can.
American.
Right.
And you? No, no.
I know youâre not American.
Plane? Plane? Right, right.
Right, plane.
Did you see plane? See? Mmm-- plane on ground? Colonel Austin.
I am Sister Terese and this is Sister Annette.
You speak English.
We only hope we are not making a mistake trusting you.
You speak English and you let me, um-- Don't forget the-- How can we help you? It's important that I find that plane.
And this tells me that it's not that far away.
Come with us.
This is where we live.
That should put us right about, uh-- Sir! Yes? This boy, he say he saw a parachutist land near his farm.
A parachutist? Where is your farm? Up on the hill.
You, get three men and follow us.
You, come with me.
Sister Annette, if you have any information about that plane-- Be patient, Colonel.
Have you ever been to Hollywood? Hollywood? She asks that of every American she meets.
Yes, ma'am.
I've been.
Do you know Dale Robertson? Dale The actor? Yes.
The cowboy actor.
Yes.
Yes.
He played in "Wells Fargo".
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No, ma'am.
I don't know him.
Back home, Sister Annette is the president of his fan club.
I have seen every episode of "Tales Of Wells Fargo" twice.
Did you know Dale Robertson speak Flemish? No, ma'am, I didn't.
Well, he does.
Follow me, please.
Where are you going? To the cellar.
This way.
Sister, I'd be happy to look at your wine cellar some other time but right now I gotta find that airplane.
I think you'll want to see what's down there, Colonel.
Please.
Hold it.
Stay right there.
He's an American, he says.
Let me see your I.
D.
Easy.
Colonel Steve Austin? The astronaut? What's a fellow who walked on the moon doing out here in the middle of Africa? Miss your splashdown? I came here for the film.
Intelligence thought you were killed.
Well, my transmitter went out.
I've been trying to figure a way to get the film back to Mygunda but that's a long way and I don't hop too well.
All I have left is this beeper.
Well, that's what led me here.
Are you the Colonel Austin who walked on the moon? That's right.
Get my camera.
Where's the plane? It's on the west side of the Mission.
The sisters helped me camouflage it so it'd be hidden from the sky.
Can you take me there? Yeah, sure.
Let's go.
Nuns brought me over in this.
Moves a little faster than I walk.
Alright.
Colonel Austin! Won't you take a picture with me before you go? We don't have much time.
It'll only take a minute.
Sister Terese! Come! Come! Come! Over-- you stand right there.
Alright.
Over a little closer.
Smile! Oh, you can move around.
It's moving picture.
Oh, alright.
Hi.
Itâs wonderful! Any chance you were spotted when you parachuted in? Probably a good chance, why? A couple of Katara patrols came by while they had me hidden.
We better hurry.
Hold on.
Right.
Man, nobody can run that fast.
What are you, anyway? What's your security clearance? What-- What's that got to do with it? I'm a five.
I'm sorry.
I'm classified six.
Hey, now.
Wait a minute, man.
That's not enough.
Film magazine's here in the fuselage.
I couldn't get to 'em, so I figured nobody else could either.
You did a neat job for a crash landing.
What happened? Well, I think it swallowed up one of the valves.
Pistons are probably chewed up, too.
You know, we might be able to fly out of here.
Maybe we can-- Do you know this machine is not gonna get in the air again? I think I can fix this engine.
Fix it with what? I hate to tell you this, Colonel but there's no NASA workshop out here in the middle of Africa.
It looked like there were a lot of spare parts on that truck by the mission.
Yeah? I'll know more as soon as I yank this engine out.
As soon as you yank the engine out.
Do you know how much that engine weighs? Yeah, about 347 pounds.
No, it's 348.
And you're crazy.
You know, Josh, I'm about to take it upon myself to raise your security clearance to a number six.
Huh? What I want to know is how did you get that engine out of there.
I had an accident about a year ago.
When they put me back together, they didn't have all my original parts.
So they put me back together with a few improved parts.
Your parachute still in the plane? Yeah.
Listen, Steve, even if you get the engine running we don't have enough distance to take off.
That's only 100 feet.
That's not enough.
No way, Buddy Boy.
And even if we got up enough speed, by that time, we'd be over that cliff and that's a 2,500 foot drop.
And that's enough to make a dent in you even with your improvements.
What's your saying, Josh, is you wanna stay here and wave as I take off, huh? No, man.
'Cause for all I know, you'd be able to walk away from a 2,500 foot drop.
But what about me? You see, I'm just flesh and bones.
I don't have your improvements.
Well, all we have to fear is fear itself.
Sister.
Sister! Soldiers.
Remain calm, child.
We are alone.
We will tell the truth that we have seen no one.
But that is not-- "There are no whole truths; all truths are half truths.
"It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.
" I'm still frightened.
Don't worry.
Dale had a situation like this in Wells Fargo.
I know exactly what to do.
Forgive me for not knocking.
It is not necessary to knock when you enter God's house.
He always welcomes you.
Where is the parachutist? Parachutist? I have seen no parachutist.
Have you, sister? No.
I'm sorry we can not help you, Major.
Have some tea.
Thank you.
We're also looking for a spy plane that crashed in this area.
Plane? It's best when it's hot.
Itâs well known that you two have been sympathetic to foreigners.
Why, this tea is very good.
From Holland.
It's excellent.
Search the grounds.
Planes? Parachutists? All manner of things are falling from the sky on this land.
Do you suppose it is an omen of some kind? I don't believe in omens.
You know what we do to people who help our enemies? Yes.
Yes.
Major Chooka, Colonel Madooka on the telephone.
Thank you, Sister.
It's very good.
If I find that you have seen or helped the parachutist in anyway I promise you will be dealt with swiftly.
Good day, Sisters.
Good day.
We must warn Colonel Austin.
Yes, but how without leading the major to them? Major Chooka, here.
Yes, Colonel.
Well you see, we have some information that a parachutist is here in the area.
Well, not yet, sir, but-- Yes, Colonel.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant? Yes, sir? I want you to get the men together and get them ready to move out.
We've been ordered to the lowland so we can continue searching for the plane.
Yes,.
sir.
Take this radio.
Take these binoculars and I want you to hide up in those hills and keep your eye on this mission.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant! Yes, sir! Move 'em out! What is it? Shh.
Bajad, you see anything? Anyone entering the nun's house? No, sir.
Nothing yet.
Well, keep looking.
I'll call you later.
Yes, sir.
You're going to repair the airplane engine by taking parts of the engine from our old truck? That's right.
It's not possible.
Huh.
Don't you believe it, Sister.
But our truck is old and tired.
And the pistons are a different size and everything is different.
But it won't make any difference.
I don't think even Dale Robertson could do that.
I think I can make it work long enough for the four of us to get to Mygunda.
The four of us? No, no, no.
We will not leave the mission.
No, it's our home.
Bajad, go ahead.
Bajad? Are you awake? Yes, sir.
Well, what do you have to report? The same, sir.
No one enters and no one leaves.
Well, keep looking.
And stay awake, you hear me? Yes, sir.
Enjoy your dinner.
We better get that engine.
Right.
I don't believe you.
It's because of his new improvements that he can lift it out with one hand.
What? Bajad.
Where'd they go? Down in the cellar.
My hands.
My hands, quickly.
You are a very fortunate man to be blessed by such physical strength.
Yes, ma'am.
Can I help you? No, just relax.
Major! Major! What is it, Sergeant? The pilot and the white man.
They are both at the mission! It's the same man who flew out of the sky! He's as strong as our elephant.
Why didn't you radio me? They took my radio! They locked me up, sir! I tried! Sergeant.
Sergeant! Sir! Get the rest of the men.
We go into the mission at once.
Fall out! Let's go! Look, it's too dangerous for you two to stay here now.
I do not wish to be difficult but we will not leave our mission.
We can not give up teaching the children.
Sister Annette, please forgive me but you and Sister Terese are coming with us.
Even if I have to use force.
Sister, you know that guard's gonna be bringing soldiers back.
It wonât be safe for you here.
And that would be suicide.
And I don't think you approve of that.
Very well.
Shouldnât we take something with us from the mission? No, there is nothing here we need have.
You all get started back to the plane.
I'll meet you there.
Are you going to carry the airplane motor all the way there by yourself? I'll manage.
Would you really have used force? Gentle force.
Just like Dale.
How did you get here? We left before you.
Well, I know a shortcut.
Sisters, why don't you make yourselves comfortable while Josh and I finish with the plane.
Yeah.
Whoo.
Uh, Steve, about those improvements? What about them? Do they come in black? Let's see if that engine works, come on.
Right.
Well, you made a believer out of me.
I didn't think you could get it to work.
It sounds pretty rough.
The only thing I remember is what they said they were going-- A plane? That's the plane.
Sergeant! Let's move 'em out! I think the engine needs a little adjusting.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Well, that's as good as it's gonna get.
Sister, can you imagine what a help Colonel Austin would be in building a new mission? Okay, ladies.
It's time to go.
Where would you like us to sit? I'm afraid there's only one seat.
That's for the pilot.
You'll have to crowd into the tail section.
Uh.
Oh, you.
It's a pretty heavy load, but it beats walking.
With this bum leg, I'd prefer if youâd fly.
I'm gonna clear out some brush.
Move out! Let's go! Let's go! Steve, what is it? The Katara patrol climbing up.
We got a machine gun.
I'll take care of 'em.
No, just get the RPMs up as high as you can without taking off without me.
Okay.
Mortar fire! Hit the dirt! He is on top of the hill! It's a trick! Let's go! Let's go! Quickly! Let's go! Open fire! Open fire! Let's go! Surround me! Open fire! Kill him! Morning, Miss Drake.
Yes? Good.
Put him on.
Good morning, Mr.
Secretary.
Yes, sir.
Well, thank you very much.
Yes, I'm sure the council will vote in favor of censure.
Yes, sir.
Very good.
I'll tell Colonel Austin you said so.
Good of you to call, thank you.
Miss Drake, have you been able to locate Colonel Austin yet? No, sir.
I've tried his home, the golf club, the gym.
I don't know where he is.
Hmmm.
Stop! Sister, you say "cut".
Oh, oh, yes.
Cut.
That was wonderful.
Thank you ma'am.
It's a pleasure.
Isn't this just thrilling? Saw you take your walk on the moon, Colonel Austin.
Everybody was mighty proud of you.
Oh, thanks, Dale.
I suppose if my children were here right now, they'd be wanting your autograph.
Mr.
Robertson.
You just call me, Dale.
Mr.
Robertson was my father.
Dale? Oh, Dale.
Dale, could I get just one more shot of you and your horse? Suppose we could arrange that.
Can't go riding off in the sunset.
We haven't got a sunset.
Suppose we just ride up the road there.
Oh, thatâs wonderful Dale.
You holler action when you're ready.
Just wait till the fan club sees this.
Action! Isn't he going to stop? You have to say "cut".
Cut! Louder.
Cut! Oh, my goodness.
Cut! Oh! Cut! Cut! Cut!

Thanks for helping us out.
Anything I can do to help.
You'll be jumping here.
I flew over once this morning.

American.
Right.
And you? No, no.
I know youâre not American.
Plane? Plane? Right, right.
Right, plane.
Did you see plane? See? Mmm-- plane on ground? Colonel Austin.
I am Sister Terese and this is Sister Annette.

A parachutist? Where is your farm? Up on the hill.
You, get three men and follow us.
You, come with me.
Sister Annette, if you have any information about that plane-- Be patient, Colonel.
Have you ever been to Hollywood? Hollywood? She asks that of every American she meets.
Yes, ma'am.
I've been.
Do you know Dale Robertson? Dale The actor? Yes.
The cowboy actor.
Yes.
Yes.
He played in "Wells Fargo".
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No, ma'am.
I don't know him.
Back home, Sister Annette is the president of his fan club.
I have seen every episode of "Tales Of Wells Fargo" twice.
Did you know Dale Robertson speak Flemish? No, ma'am, I didn't.
Well, he does.
Follow me, please.
Where are you going? To the cellar.
This way.
Sister, I'd be happy to look at your wine cellar some other time but right now I gotta find that airplane.
I think you'll want to see what's down there, Colonel.
Please.
Hold it.
Stay right there.
He's an American, he says.
Let me see your I.
D.

Colonel Austin! Won't you take a picture with me before you go? We don't have much time.
It'll only take a minute.
Sister Terese! Come! Come! Come! Over-- you stand right there.
Alright.
Over a little closer.
Smile! Oh, you can move around.
It's moving picture.
Oh, alright.
Hi.
Itâs wonderful! Any chance you were spotted when you parachuted in? Probably a good chance, why? A couple of Katara patrols came by while they had me hidden.
We better hurry.
Hold on.
Right.
Man, nobody can run that fast.
What are you, anyway? What's your security clearance? What-- What's that got to do with it? I'm a five.
I'm sorry.
I'm classified six.
Hey, now.
Wait a minute, man.
That's not enough.
Film magazine's here in the fuselage.
I couldn't get to 'em, so I figured nobody else could either.
You did a neat job for a crash landing.
What happened? Well, I think it swallowed up one of the valves.

It looked like there were a lot of spare parts on that truck by the mission.
Yeah? I'll know more as soon as I yank this engine out.
As soon as you yank the engine out.
Do you know how much that engine weighs? Yeah, about 347 pounds.
No, it's 348.
And you're crazy.
You know, Josh, I'm about to take it upon myself to raise your security clearance to a number six.
Huh? What I want to know is how did you get that engine out of there.
I had an accident about a year ago.
When they put me back together, they didn't have all my original parts.
So they put me back together with a few improved parts.
Your parachute still in the plane? Yeah.
Listen, Steve, even if you get the engine running we don't have enough distance to take off.
That's only 100 feet.
That's not enough.
No way, Buddy Boy.
And even if we got up enough speed, by that time, we'd be over that cliff and that's a 2,500 foot drop.
And that's enough to make a dent in you even with your improvements.
What's your saying, Josh, is you wanna stay here and wave as I take off, huh? No, man.
'Cause for all I know, you'd be able to walk away from a 2,500 foot drop.
But what about me? You see, I'm just flesh and bones.
I don't have your improvements.
Well, all we have to fear is fear itself.
Sister.
Sister! Soldiers.
Remain calm, child.
We are alone.
We will tell the truth that we have seen no one.
But that is not-- "There are no whole truths; all truths are half truths.
"It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.
" I'm still frightened.
Don't worry.
Dale had a situation like this in Wells Fargo.
I know exactly what to do.
Forgive me for not knocking.
It is not necessary to knock when you enter God's house.
He always welcomes you.
Where is the parachutist? Parachutist? I have seen no parachutist.
Have you, sister? No.
I'm sorry we can not help you, Major.
Have some tea.
Thank you.
We're also looking for a spy plane that crashed in this area.
Plane? It's best when it's hot.
Itâs well known that you two have been sympathetic to foreigners.
Why, this tea is very good.
From Holland.
It's excellent.
Search the grounds.
Planes? Parachutists? All manner of things are falling from the sky on this land.
Do you suppose it is an omen of some kind? I don't believe in omens.
You know what we do to people who help our enemies? Yes.
Yes.
Major Chooka, Colonel Madooka on the telephone.
Thank you, Sister.
It's very good.
If I find that you have seen or helped the parachutist in anyway I promise you will be dealt with swiftly.
Good day, Sisters.
Good day.
We must warn Colonel Austin.
Yes, but how without leading the major to them? Major Chooka, here.
Yes, Colonel.
Well you see, we have some information that a parachutist is here in the area.
Well, not yet, sir, but-- Yes, Colonel.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant? Yes, sir? I want you to get the men together and get them ready to move out.
We've been ordered to the lowland so we can continue searching for the plane.
Yes,.
sir.
Take this radio.
Take these binoculars and I want you to hide up in those hills and keep your eye on this mission.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant! Yes, sir! Move 'em out! What is it? Shh.
Bajad, you see anything? Anyone entering the nun's house? No, sir.
Nothing yet.
Well, keep looking.
I'll call you later.
Yes, sir.
You're going to repair the airplane engine by taking parts of the engine from our old truck? That's right.
It's not possible.
Huh.
Don't you believe it, Sister.
But our truck is old and tired.
And the pistons are a different size and everything is different.
But it won't make any difference.
I don't think even Dale Robertson could do that.
I think I can make it work long enough for the four of us to get to Mygunda.
The four of us? No, no, no.
We will not leave the mission.
No, it's our home.
Bajad, go ahead.
Bajad? Are you awake? Yes, sir.
Well, what do you have to report? The same, sir.
No one enters and no one leaves.
Well, keep looking.
And stay awake, you hear me? Yes, sir.
Enjoy your dinner.
We better get that engine.
Right.
I don't believe you.
It's because of his new improvements that he can lift it out with one hand.
What? Bajad.
Where'd they go? Down in the cellar.
My hands.
My hands, quickly.
You are a very fortunate man to be blessed by such physical strength.
Yes, ma'am.
Can I help you? No, just relax.
Major! Major! What is it, Sergeant? The pilot and the white man.
They are both at the mission! It's the same man who flew out of the sky! He's as strong as our elephant.
Why didn't you radio me? They took my radio! They locked me up, sir! I tried! Sergeant.
Sergeant! Sir! Get the rest of the men.
We go into the mission at once.
Fall out! Let's go! Look, it's too dangerous for you two to stay here now.
I do not wish to be difficult but we will not leave our mission.
We can not give up teaching the children.
Sister Annette, please forgive me but you and Sister Terese are coming with us.
Even if I have to use force.
Sister, you know that guard's gonna be bringing soldiers back.
It wonât be safe for you here.
And that would be suicide.
And I don't think you approve of that.
Very well.
Shouldnât we take something with us from the mission? No, there is nothing here we need have.
You all get started back to the plane.
I'll meet you there.
Are you going to carry the airplane motor all the way there by yourself? I'll manage.
Would you really have used force? Gentle force.
Just like Dale.
How did you get here? We left before you.
Well, I know a shortcut.
Sisters, why don't you make yourselves comfortable while Josh and I finish with the plane.
Yeah.
Whoo.
Uh, Steve, about those improvements? What about them? Do they come in black? Let's see if that engine works, come on.
Right.
Well, you made a believer out of me.
I didn't think you could get it to work.
It sounds pretty rough.
The only thing I remember is what they said they were going-- A plane? That's the plane.
Sergeant! Let's move 'em out! I think the engine needs a little adjusting.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Well, that's as good as it's gonna get.
Sister, can you imagine what a help Colonel Austin would be in building a new mission? Okay, ladies.
It's time to go.
Where would you like us to sit? I'm afraid there's only one seat.
That's for the pilot.
You'll have to crowd into the tail section.
Uh.
Oh, you.
It's a pretty heavy load, but it beats walking.
With this bum leg, I'd prefer if youâd fly.
I'm gonna clear out some brush.
Move out! Let's go! Let's go! Steve, what is it? The Katara patrol climbing up.
We got a machine gun.
I'll take care of 'em.
No, just get the RPMs up as high as you can without taking off without me.
Okay.
Mortar fire! Hit the dirt! He is on top of the hill! It's a trick! Let's go! Let's go! Quickly! Let's go! Open fire! Open fire! Let's go! Surround me! Open fire! Kill him! Morning, Miss Drake.
Yes? Good.
Put him on.
Good morning, Mr.
Secretary.
Yes, sir.
Well, thank you very much.
Yes, I'm sure the council will vote in favor of censure.
Yes, sir.
Very good.
I'll tell Colonel Austin you said so.
Good of you to call, thank you.
Miss Drake, have you been able to locate Colonel Austin yet? No, sir.
I've tried his home, the golf club, the gym.
I don't know where he is.
Hmmm.
Stop! Sister, you say "cut".
Oh, oh, yes.
Cut.
That was wonderful.
Thank you ma'am.
It's a pleasure.
Isn't this just thrilling? Saw you take your walk on the moon, Colonel Austin.
Everybody was mighty proud of you.
Oh, thanks, Dale.
I suppose if my children were here right now, they'd be wanting your autograph.
Mr.
Robertson.
You just call me, Dale.
Mr.
Robertson was my father.
Dale? Oh, Dale.
Dale, could I get just one more shot of you and your horse? Suppose we could arrange that.
Can't go riding off in the sunset.
We haven't got a sunset.
Suppose we just ride up the road there.
Oh, thatâs wonderful Dale.
You holler action when you're ready.
Just wait till the fan club sees this.
Action! Isn't he going to stop? You have to say "cut".
Cut! Louder.
Cut! Oh, my goodness.
Cut! Oh! Cut! Cut! Cut!
