:28:09
What size is the film?
:28:13
Four-and-a-half-inch reel...
:28:15
...16 millimeter...
:28:17
...in an insulated aluminum capsule.
:28:19
And all of a sudden, you know
a whole damn lot about my business.
:28:27
We don't believe in going on a mission
totally blindfolded, Mr. Jones.
:28:37
The film came out of a camera...
:28:39
...mounted in a Russian satellite.
- Did it belong to Russia?
:28:42
That's a delicate point. It was our camera.
We developed it. It's not bad engineering.
:28:47
Took three years to develop,
round-the-clock work.
:28:50
Can't be duplicated for two years.
Certain British processes in grinding lenses.
:28:55
It's an incredible piece of machinery.
:28:57
It's got a focal length of...
:28:59
It can photograph a packet of cigarettes
from 300 miles up in space...
:29:03
...on a tiny negative
capable of infinite enlargement.
:29:07
You see, your American lads,
you came up with a new film emulsion...
:29:10
...very hush-hush,
but 100 times more sensitive...
:29:14
...than anything previously available.
:29:16
And the negative is miraculously developed
within the satellite itself.
:29:21
You put our film in your camera
and you had a hell of a box Brownie.
:29:25
No, the Russians had.
We lent it to you fellows, and you lost it.
:29:28
- Lost it?
- Hijacked in broad daylight.
:29:31
Dismantled, smuggled into Havana...
:29:35
...and then the...
:29:38
...the Russians put our camera,
made by our German scientists...
:29:42
...and your film,
made by your German scientists...
:29:46
...into their satellite,
made by their German scientists.
:29:49
Thus, up it went, round and round,
whizzing over the U.S. seven times a day.
:29:53
- Photographing missile bases.
- Within 48 hours, they had pinup pictures...
:29:56
...of every missile base in North America.
:29:59
Every time our camera took a picture,
another one was taking a fix on the stars.
