Hogan's Heroes (1965–1971): Season 3, Episode 2 - Some of Their Planes Are Missing - full transcript
The Germans have whipped up a plot to send German pilots in RAF fighters to shoot down British bombers.
Gentlemen, welcome.
Now this is a very
special occasion,
and although I don't know
the nature of your mission...
An oversight, I'm sure...
I am aware that
this must be a task
that will bring greater
glory to the Third Reich.
Now, I am very proud
that Stalag 13 was chosen,
because this is the
most secure place
in all of Germany.
From time to time,
there have been escape attempts,
but not one has been successful.
Stalag 13 has
the reputation of...
All positions report. Over.
Six Kraut officers
just arrived, Colonel.
Confirming, six of them.
Two, three, four, five, six.
Let me double check
that for you, Colonel.
Never mind, Carter,
you're holding up the war.
What are the Krauts...
SS, Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe?
There's not enough
light, Colonel.
I can't make them out.
Hold on.
LeBeau, we need
more light on the subject.
Colonel, the guards
in those towers
are very nervous at night.
It's my guess they won't shoot.
And if they shoot me, it
means you guessed wrong.
No one's perfect.
From all the other prison
camps, they fly away like birds.
But here, at Stalag 13, we know
where every prisoner
is every moment.
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
What is this?
LeBeau, Commandant.
But-but what happened?
Do you expect
me to believe that?
Of course, mon commandant.
Schultz, put him on report.
Get him out of here!
Jawohl, Herr Kommandant.
Come on, LeBeau...
I can read them now, Colonel.
Luftwaffe.
Confirming Kinch's
report, Colonel... Luftwaffe.
Yep, I can read them now.
They're Luftwaffe, and
there are six of them.
Carter, I don't know
what I'd do without you...
but sometimes I'd like to try.
But I tell you, I know nothing!
Nothing!
You spend a week
fixing up the barracks.
Six Luftwaffe officers move in.
Since when is that nothing?
Come on, Schultz,
you can't be all that stupid.
Who says I can't?
Colonel, it's just possible
that our Kraut friend
here is telling the truth.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay, Schultz, thanks anyway.
I'm glad someone believes me.
LeBeau, what's interesting
in the Red Cross
package this week?
LeBEAU: Oh, let's see now.
Hey, we have
chocolate. Hey, chocolate.
Chocolate with nuts. Oh, wow.
Chocolate with raisin.
Chocolate with raisin.
Chocolate with raisin and nuts.
I'll have the nut.
I-I don't... I...
I take chocolate with anything!
I take chocolate with anything!
I take raisin and nuts!
Raisin and nuts for me, please!
I take... Uh, uh, uh!
Schultz...
What about the
Luftwaffe officers?
They left early this morning
when it was still dark.
But their gear is
still in the barracks.
They will be
brought back tonight.
From where?
The big shots don't
tell me everything.
All right.
See, Schultz,
you're not so stupid.
I'm still not convinced.
Six Krauts leave camp,
but they'll be brought back.
Their stuff's still here.
They've moved in.
But why in a stalag?
Well, could be for
security reasons.
Kinch,
any problem with
bugging their barracks?
Only if we get caught and shot.
A mere detail.
He never worries about
funeral arrangements
until the last minute.
Look, Carter, LeBeau...
Wait a minute, hold it.
What's that?
It's a plane.
I know that.
That's not a German plane.
Hey, it's RAF.
What's it doing here?
It must be lost.
Impossible... We're
too deep in Germany.
Fighters don't have that range.
Hey, look! More of them!
How do you figure it,
Colonel? I don't know.
Maybe the RAF has a secret
air base here in Germany.
Eh, that's crazy.
Maybe our guys
have invaded Europe.
We'd be the first to know.
We would? Sure.
That great German war
machine Colonel Klink
would be hiding under his bed.
No, no, no, no!
But we must get
inside this building.
We've come to shine their boots.
What?
Commandant's orders.
This building is
strictly verboten.
It is off limits to everybody.
Well, that's great,
because we didn't want
to shine their boots anyway.
I will just tell the commandant
that Schultz chased us away...
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
I didn't say no... as long
as these are his orders.
Mm, why doesn't he
tell me these things?
Well, the commandant
is a busy man.
Yeah.
It's not easy to lose a war.
All right. Polish the boots.
Yeah, we'll make
it fast, Schultz.
Tell me something.
Did the commandant say anything
about shining my boots?
Not a word.
Hmm... But we'll do it anyway.
You will? Thank you.
Hey, LeBeau, where...
LeBeau?
How do you like that? He's gone.
What do you mean?
Well, he must've sneaked out.
He's always goofing off.
Now I'm fighting this
war single-handed.
You work!
Oh, if I catch that
little cockroach,
I'll-I'll...
Oh, believe me, I will!
LeBeau.
We'll run it to the ceiling
and up to the roof.
Kinch can hook it
tonight to the phone wire.
But if Schultz comes
back and catches us,
what'll we tell him we're doing?
Ah, we'll say we're
putting in air conditioning.
That's a good idea.
I just knew you'd like it.
They just went
into the barracks.
Burkhalter and some
bush colonel and Klink.
Good. Let's hope it works.
I did the best I could.
It's got to work.
I shined six pair of boots.
Seven pairs, with Schultz.
All right, what are you
complaining about?
Now you both have a
trade for after the war.
At ease, gentlemen.
This is Colonel Leman,
who will be in command
for the final phase
of your training.
Nice work, Kinch!
Hey, it works, huh?!
All right, all right, pipe
down, let's hear this.
Gentlemen, up until now,
you have been learning
how to fly RAF planes...
of the type used by the
British Fighter Command.
You were right, Colonel.
You had it pegged.
I wish I'd been wrong.
And now I will
explain your mission.
Well, hurry it up. The
suspense is killing us.
All of you have been chosen
for Operation Albatross.
Operation Albatross!
Ooh, I like that name.
I'm glad. There was no time
to consult you in advance.
Oh, that's quite all
right, Herr General.
Thank you. And shut up!
Shut up, yes, sir. Shut up.
Beginning tomorrow,
you will learn
RAF recognition codes
and flight patterns.
After that, you and your
planes will be transported
to our airfields on
the coast of France.
At that time, you will fly up,
infiltrate the enemy squadrons,
shoot them down
and destroy them.
You will be the foxes
among the sheep.
And your first strike
against the enemy
will be on the 12th...
A birthday present
for our beloved Reich's
Marshal Goering.
Any questions?
Any comments?
Gentlemen...
I just want to tell
you how proud I am
to be the commandant
of your base
for this very important mission.
Now, I feel pers...
Excellent.
The moment we named
it Operation Albatross,
we thought of you.
Thank you, Herr General.
That's all, gentlemen.
Oh, General, Colonel.
There is just
one little problem.
What have you done now?
I distinctly saw Colonel Hogan
watching the planes when
they flew over the camp.
Klink, do not try
to explain this incident to him.
If he asks questions,
do not act as if
you know anything.
You know nothing!
You are ignorant!
Yes, sir, I'm ignorant.
I shall do it right away.
I have every confidence
in your ability
along those lines.
Realize the damage
those Krauts could do
to the British Bomber Command?
Foxes among the sheep.
If they take off
just once, just once,
they could kill off
a lot of our planes.
We've got to head them off.
We don't even know
where they keep the fighters.
Kinch, get a message
to the underground.
Tell them to check all
the airfields in the area
and look for
anything suspicious.
And I need a quick
answer. Right, Colonel.
Let's see if we can
kill off that albatross
while it's still on the ground.
They're pretty nice
birds, you know.
They just have a bad name.
It's not getting any better...
and neither are you.
Nice looking bunch of
dogs today, Schnitzer.
To me, a dog is a dog.
Except maybe Fritzy here.
What about him? I don't know.
He's been acting very strange,
and I think he's trying
to tell me something.
What are you two mumbling about?
You are not supposed
to be here at all.
I know, I know.
That's what makes it fun.
See you later, Fritzy,
and we'll have a nice talk.
Hey, Fritzy. Come on.
Here, Fritzy.
That's it, Fritzy.
Come on, baby.
Come on. That's it, baby.
"Usual place, 2200
hours, Conrad."
Carter, go out and bring him in
through the emergency
tunnel. Right, Colonel.
LeBeau, get the dog
back before they miss him.
Oui, Colonel.
Thanks a lot, Fritzy.
You've been a big help.
Heil Hitler.
Are you sure he's a
German shepherd?
There's an emergency airfield
approximately here, Colonel.
About five kilometers
north of Hammelburg, huh.
Six planes, disbursed,
barbed wire fence.
Main gate guarded
by two sentries,
and more of them
inside the wire.
All right, that's it.
Let's try for tomorrow night.
I'll need six of your best
men, automatic weapons.
Kinch will give you the
assembly point and time later.
You can depend on us, Colonel.
Good. LeBeau, take him out.
Right, sir. Come on.
Carter... we've got six planes.
We need six demolition charges,
short time fuses.
You've got it,
boy. I mean, "sir."
We need an alibi. Alibi?
Yeah, the Krauts know
we saw the planes.
We blow them up,
they link it back to us.
They start investigating,
our whole operation
could go down the drain.
Why don't I stay behind
and tell them I was
having this party
and that you were all with me.
And that we were dancing
and everything was...
Carter...
why don't you
join the other side?
Hold it, hold it.
Party.
The Krauts have
been having a shindig
in Klink's quarters every
night, celebrating in advance.
Yeah?
Why can't I become
the life of that party?
The supply convoy
will take this route
to the coast.
I think you're right, Colonel.
And for security purposes,
the personnel carriers
will go in the autobahn.
Sorry, Colonel. I didn't
know you were busy.
Well, I am. I just
wanted to add one thing
to our Red Cross
requisition, sir.
Request denied. Dismissed.
We need Ping-Pong balls, sir.
All right, all right,
Ping-Pong balls.
Dismissed.
Thank you, sir.
Excuse me.
Aren't you Captain Kurt Leman?
Colonel Leman... Richard.
Of course. "Daredevil
Dick" we used to call you.
What is this?
I was attached to
the RAF for a while,
and I read all their
intelligence reports
on Germany's best pilots.
You... you flew
stookers in Norway,
didn't you, Colonel?
Well, yes. As a
matter of fact, I did,
and that was no beer
party, I can tell you that.
Yeah, that's why we called you
"Daredevil Dick."
Now, come to think of it,
they even had
your picture posted
in the ready room
with a caption that read:
"Dangerous... Handle With Care."
I'm glad to know the enemy
appreciated my efforts.
So has your own people;
you've been promoted.
Oh, incidentally,
my name is Hogan,
senior P.O.W. officer.
All right, all right,
this is all very interesting...
You gonna be around for a while?
We might have an hour
or so of good old pilot talk.
Well, yes... as
a matter of fact,
we're going to have
a little get-together
in the commandant's
quarters if you care to join us...
oh, with the
Colonel's permission.
Impossible! Request denied!
It's a violation of security.
Colonel Hogan is a
prisoner here, Colonel.
Well, in that case,
I'd better contact
General Burkhalter.
And a very trusted
prisoner, sir,
and we might make an exception.
Thank you, Commandant.
Tonight at 8:00.
8:00. I'll be
looking forward to it.
Gentlemen.
Comes in here
for Ping-Pong balls
and gets himself
invited to a party.
So, anyway, anyway,
I got on the radio then
to the squadron leader,
and I said, "My
fuselage is full of holes.
I can't make it home.
What should I do?"
And he said, "Don't
land in Switzerland.
They'll sell you for cheese."
Oh, oh, oh, oh, easy, Colonel.
I've already had four
shots of this machine oil.
Machine oil?
This is our best brandy.
Then you'd better check and see
what they're putting
in your carburetor.
He has an amazing
sense of humor.
Yes, yes.
Oh, I'm... I'm so
glad I invited him.
Tell me, Colonel, what
was the last campaign...
Conrad's in
position. We're all set.
How do you like our Krauts?
They look good enough to shoot.
Merci for nothing.
We've got about 40 minutes.
Everybody relax.
Well, they didn't
have many planes.
The Dutch Air Force
gave us a run for our money.
Oh, all this flying
talk, it's so exhilarating.
Tell me, Colonel,
have you ever had
any combat experience?
Only with
headquarters in Berlin.
Well, you see, sir, uh,
we administrative people
have many problems.
Yeah, sure, when he crashes,
they just give him a new desk.
Oh! You all right?
General, uh,
Colonel Hogan is
drinking too much.
Nein, nein, let him oil up.
If he loosens his tongue,
we may learn a few things.
Has he mentioned anything
about the RAF planes he saw?
Shh! Not a word.
I, uh, was prepared
to be ignorant
just as you ordered,
Herr General.
The most unnecessary
orders I ever gave.
Okay, Olsen, time to go.
Right.
So long.
Good luck.
To all of us.
Hogan?
Hogan!
Huh, passed out.
Typical American weakness.
Can't drink, can't
finish wars they start.
Mm!
Anybody home?
Shh!
Oh, here's the map, Colonel.
You stay on the Hammelburg road,
you can't miss it.
The weapons carriers
are a half mile
outside the perimeter.
Thanks, Kinch. What's
the word from Conrad?
He'll meet you on the road,
near the field.
Achtung!
Soldiers of the Third
Reich, let's move out.
Jawohl, Herr Kapitan.
Stick to English, will you?
You've got enough trouble.
♪ ♪
Situation?
Airfield's just
around the next turn.
The sergeant and one
man on duty at the gate.
Where are your men?
Right here. They're all set.
All right, good.
Hop in. Let's go.
Achtung! Open up!
The password for the
day, Herr Hauptmann?
Password?
I haven't heard anything
about a password.
You hear, Schmidt?
Nein, Herr Kaptain.
You're delaying us,
Sergeant. Open up.
Well, sir, if you don't
have the password...
may I see your orders?
Yes, of course.
Your orders, Herr Hauptmann?
Don't move.
Get them in there, quick.
I'll open the gate. Move!
All right, LeBeau, Carter,
get the charges
into those planes.
Set the timers for 60 seconds,
no longer.
Oui, Colonel.
You'd better watch
those barracks.
We don't need any surprises.
Yes, Colonel. Come on, boys.
There, General.
I wanted you to see
Colonel Hogan in all his glory.
Hogan, wake up!
Dead to the world.
Phew! It smells of
schnapps in here.
Phew! Terrible.
Let him sleep.
Good work! Get in the truck!
Colonel, you'd
better leave at once!
What about the barracks?
We can handle that.
All right, good luck.
Let's go.
You fools!
How could you let
such a thing happen?
Road blocks at once, yes, yes.
Our planes have been destroyed
on the ground... sabotage.
But-but how is such
a thing possible?
Mainly because you
were in charge of security.
General, you mentioned sabotage.
Three men in Luftwaffe uniform
forced their way
into the airfield.
One of them fits the description
of our friend Hogan, by the way.
But it is only a coincidence...
or is it?
Hogan?
Hogan!
Aw, come on, pipe down
and let a guy sleep, will you?
Six of our planes destroyed!
Sabotage!
I miss everything.
I'd like to leave a
call for 6:00 a.m.
I got an early war
in the morning.
Now this is a very
special occasion,
and although I don't know
the nature of your mission...
An oversight, I'm sure...

Main gate guarded
by two sentries,
and more of them
inside the wire.
All right, that's it.
Let's try for tomorrow night.
I'll need six of your best
men, automatic weapons.
Kinch will give you the
assembly point and time later.
You can depend on us, Colonel.
Good. LeBeau, take him out.
Right, sir. Come on.
Carter... we've got six planes.
We need six demolition charges,
short time fuses.
You've got it,
boy. I mean, "sir."
We need an alibi. Alibi?
Yeah, the Krauts know
we saw the planes.
We blow them up,
they link it back to us.
They start investigating,
our whole operation
could go down the drain.
Why don't I stay behind
and tell them I was
having this party
and that you were all with me.
And that we were dancing
and everything was...
Carter...
why don't you
join the other side?
Hold it, hold it.
Party.
The Krauts have
been having a shindig
in Klink's quarters every
night, celebrating in advance.
Yeah?
Why can't I become
the life of that party?
The supply convoy
will take this route
to the coast.
I think you're right, Colonel.
And for security purposes,
the personnel carriers
will go in the autobahn.
Sorry, Colonel. I didn't
know you were busy.
Well, I am. I just
wanted to add one thing
to our Red Cross
requisition, sir.
Request denied. Dismissed.
We need Ping-Pong balls, sir.
All right, all right,
Ping-Pong balls.
Dismissed.
Thank you, sir.
Excuse me.
Aren't you Captain Kurt Leman?
Colonel Leman... Richard.
Of course. "Daredevil
Dick" we used to call you.
What is this?
I was attached to
the RAF for a while,
and I read all their
intelligence reports
on Germany's best pilots.
You... you flew
stookers in Norway,
didn't you, Colonel?
Well, yes. As a
matter of fact, I did,
and that was no beer
party, I can tell you that.
Yeah, that's why we called you
"Daredevil Dick."
Now, come to think of it,
they even had
your picture posted
in the ready room
with a caption that read:
"Dangerous... Handle With Care."
I'm glad to know the enemy
appreciated my efforts.
So has your own people;
you've been promoted.
Oh, incidentally,
my name is Hogan,
senior P.O.W. officer.
All right, all right,
this is all very interesting...
You gonna be around for a while?
We might have an hour
or so of good old pilot talk.
Well, yes... as
a matter of fact,
we're going to have
a little get-together
in the commandant's
quarters if you care to join us...
oh, with the
Colonel's permission.
Impossible! Request denied!
It's a violation of security.
Colonel Hogan is a
prisoner here, Colonel.
Well, in that case,
I'd better contact
General Burkhalter.
And a very trusted
prisoner, sir,
and we might make an exception.
Thank you, Commandant.
Tonight at 8:00.
8:00. I'll be
looking forward to it.
Gentlemen.
Comes in here
for Ping-Pong balls
and gets himself
invited to a party.
So, anyway, anyway,
I got on the radio then
to the squadron leader,
and I said, "My
fuselage is full of holes.
I can't make it home.
What should I do?"
And he said, "Don't
land in Switzerland.
They'll sell you for cheese."
Oh, oh, oh, oh, easy, Colonel.
I've already had four
shots of this machine oil.
Machine oil?
This is our best brandy.
Then you'd better check and see
what they're putting
in your carburetor.
He has an amazing
sense of humor.
Yes, yes.
Oh, I'm... I'm so
glad I invited him.
Tell me, Colonel, what
was the last campaign...
Conrad's in
position. We're all set.
How do you like our Krauts?
They look good enough to shoot.
Merci for nothing.
We've got about 40 minutes.
Everybody relax.
Well, they didn't
have many planes.
The Dutch Air Force
gave us a run for our money.
Oh, all this flying
talk, it's so exhilarating.
Tell me, Colonel,
have you ever had
any combat experience?
Only with
headquarters in Berlin.
Well, you see, sir, uh,
we administrative people
have many problems.
Yeah, sure, when he crashes,
they just give him a new desk.
Oh! You all right?
General, uh,
Colonel Hogan is
drinking too much.
Nein, nein, let him oil up.
If he loosens his tongue,
we may learn a few things.
Has he mentioned anything
about the RAF planes he saw?
Shh! Not a word.
I, uh, was prepared
to be ignorant
just as you ordered,
Herr General.
The most unnecessary
orders I ever gave.
Okay, Olsen, time to go.
Right.
So long.
Good luck.
To all of us.
Hogan?
Hogan!
Huh, passed out.
Typical American weakness.
Can't drink, can't
finish wars they start.
Mm!
Anybody home?
Shh!
Oh, here's the map, Colonel.
You stay on the Hammelburg road,
you can't miss it.
The weapons carriers
are a half mile
outside the perimeter.
Thanks, Kinch. What's
the word from Conrad?
He'll meet you on the road,
near the field.
Achtung!
Soldiers of the Third
Reich, let's move out.
Jawohl, Herr Kapitan.
Stick to English, will you?
You've got enough trouble.
♪ ♪
Situation?
Airfield's just
around the next turn.
The sergeant and one
man on duty at the gate.
Where are your men?
Right here. They're all set.
All right, good.
Hop in. Let's go.
Achtung! Open up!
The password for the
day, Herr Hauptmann?
Password?
I haven't heard anything
about a password.
You hear, Schmidt?
Nein, Herr Kaptain.
You're delaying us,
Sergeant. Open up.
Well, sir, if you don't
have the password...
may I see your orders?
Yes, of course.
Your orders, Herr Hauptmann?
Don't move.
Get them in there, quick.
I'll open the gate. Move!
All right, LeBeau, Carter,
get the charges
into those planes.
Set the timers for 60 seconds,
no longer.
Oui, Colonel.
You'd better watch
those barracks.
We don't need any surprises.
Yes, Colonel. Come on, boys.
There, General.
I wanted you to see
Colonel Hogan in all his glory.
Hogan, wake up!
Dead to the world.
Phew! It smells of
schnapps in here.
Phew! Terrible.
Let him sleep.
Good work! Get in the truck!
Colonel, you'd
better leave at once!
What about the barracks?
We can handle that.
All right, good luck.
Let's go.
You fools!
How could you let
such a thing happen?
Road blocks at once, yes, yes.
Our planes have been destroyed
on the ground... sabotage.
But-but how is such
a thing possible?
Mainly because you
were in charge of security.
General, you mentioned sabotage.
Three men in Luftwaffe uniform
forced their way
into the airfield.
One of them fits the description
of our friend Hogan, by the way.
But it is only a coincidence...
or is it?
Hogan?
Hogan!
Aw, come on, pipe down
and let a guy sleep, will you?
Six of our planes destroyed!
Sabotage!
I miss everything.
I'd like to leave a
call for 6:00 a.m.
I got an early war
in the morning.
