You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

[It's true, and he hates that it makes sense, but he really can't do anything without their location. If they can get out of their cell, the odds are good. If just one of them gets away and looks at a map or gets outside and tells them anything, they'd likely be able to find them before the Rusians could move them very far.

The fact remains he wants to argue but finds himself unable to]

Just be careful, Newton. I want you returned alive.

[ Newt is very grateful that Hermann doesn't seem to know or remember (or chooses to not bring up) the story of that film: Seventy-six men escaped. Seventy-three were recaptured and fifty of those were shot by the Gestapo. Newt realizes there's risks.

But there's more than just him in here and, even if it's not ideal and Hermann would hate him, he's still banking on the Porter in America bringing them back if something goes really, really wrong. Someone needs to escape and it's not going to be a one-person effort.]

I know.
