: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.
:30:03
So they could just check their coordinates
to aim missiles at all of our launching pads.
:30:08
If they had the film.
:30:10
The irony is that it's still here...
:30:13
...at Zebra.
:30:15
Somewhere.
:30:18
- And this is not the way to find it.
- How did it get here?
:30:22
- The Russians ran into a little trouble.
- That's encouraging.
:30:26
Initially academic, or so it seemed.
:30:28
The satellite was orbiting over North
America, western Russia and Siberia...
:30:32
...but that darling little camera
went right on...
:30:35
...taking pictures
when it wasn't supposed to.
:30:38
- Beautiful pictures.
- Of Russian installations.
:30:40
Which makes that piece of film
the most dangerous...
:30:43
...and desirable...
:30:45
...bit of information in the world.
:30:47
And then they ran into real trouble.
You see, here they are, orbiting like this...
:30:52
...when they fired the retros
for a comedown in Siberia...
:30:55
...one of the rockets misfired.
Instead of slowing the satellite...
:30:59
...they just swung it into a new orbit
from pole to pole.
