• Priabin : [speaking of Mitchell Gant]  Obviously, sir, he knows our planes, our aircraft, as well as anyone. He would be a good choice for sabotage or analysis of information. But, perhaps he intends a close inspection of the MiG-31!

  Col. Kontarsky : [realizing Priabin is implying that Gant may steal the MiG-31]  He *cannot* be here for *that*!

  Priabin : [realizing he may be right]  No sir. Surely not! He couldn't hope to get away with it!

  Col. Kontarsky : Thank you, Dmitri, thank you. Well done.

  [to his lieutenants] 

  Col. Kontarsky : Arrest Baronovich and the others now! And no one is to be let near the aircraft! No one! You understand?

  [explosions rock the hangar, alarm bells sound] 

  Col. Kontarsky : [stunned]  No!

• Col. Kontarsky : The KGB has just arrested Boris Glazunov, at his flat. Who is in the truck with Upenskoy?

  Customs Officer : [confused]  Well, it should be Boris Glazunov.

  Col. Kontarsky : Exactly! It *should* be Glazunov, *if* Upenskoy is making a delivery.

  Customs Officer : Sir, the truck is definitely heading out of the city.

  Col. Kontarsky : Well, this is most curious.

  [beat] 

  Col. Kontarsky : Where is Upenskoy supposed to make his delivery?

  Customs Officer : I don't know, but we can certainly find out.

  Col. Kontarsky : No. Follow the car to the checkpoint. Priabin is bringing in the other Jew. Perhaps he can tell me something...

• [a pair of guards show Kontarsky a drawing of Gant in his disguise, and confirm Gant ordered an extra dog patrol] 

  Col. Kontarsky : [looking at the drawing]  Wait - I have seen this man... and he confirmed those same orders to me!

• [Kontarsky has arrived in the hanger, and spotted Gant in the cockpit of the MIG-31] 

  Col. Kontarsky : Doors. Close the doors!
