Welcome and thank you so much for joining us today. This is a very in-depth conversation, one that you cannot afford to miss truly. So today's episode is dedicated to cyber hackers are heartless. We have Michael Nugier, who is joining us today. Michael is the director of cybersecurity with Ida Bailey. And again, today is dedicated to this topic. Tomorrow is dedicated to the topic as well as the next day. So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of this week. So excited to have Michael with us. And of course, Julia Patrick is here. Julia is the CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. I'm Jared Ransom, you're nonprofit nerd CEO of the Raven Group. And if you joined us for the Chitty Chat Chat, you learned that all three of us are nerds and we are really looking forward to getting nerdy today on today's topic and today's episode. Again, we would not be able to bring this broadcast to you live as well as the recordings if it weren't for our presenting sponsors.  We encourage you to check them out. They exist to help you move your mission forward in the best possible way to serve your community. So thank you to our presenting sponsors. And again, please do check them out online. They want to help you and they want to help you elevate and sustain your mission. And back to our guests today. Again, Michael Nugia joins us as the Director of Cybersecurity with I Bailey. Michael, welcome. Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. I love talking about cybersecurity and then the nerd glasses, I'm super excited about those too. So I can, those back on, let's let the nerd out today. Yeah, you're in good company, right? And we will make sure that you get a pair of these Michael because I do believe you've earned them. Thank you. Yes, it's a crown to, you know, to be proud of. Not a backhanded compliment, I get it. It's a crown. Absolutely. Michael, tell us a little bit about your journey and your role within I Bailey. Yeah, so I, you know, I've been the IT person in my family since the day that we bought a computer back when I was like four, right? And so really sparked the interest at one point in my life. I thought, I don't want to do IT, I'm going to be a doctor. And that, that obviously didn't turn out for me. And so growing up with computers and IT and working, working with that, I was always the go-to person to fix something when it broke and getting that knowledge and growing up into that led me to a career in IT in general. And so I spent a lot of time working across a ton of different organizations and higher education and state governments. Finally got into my foot in the door with cybersecurity and I worked in the state government running certain aspects of cybersecurity there, transitioned into the consulting side because I felt there was more to do, more people I could help. If I, if I'm talking about my why it's that I really want to help people. And in doing so, I found my niche in cybersecurity came over to Ida Bailey about eight months ago to work on consulting services around cybersecurity and been here ever since helping, helping anybody that needs help when it comes to cybersecurity. So Ida Bailey is one of the largest accounting firms in this country. I find it fascinating that they as financial wizards and certified public accountants and all that goes with that would identify, I'm assuming from their clients that this was such a big issue that they needed to develop a team that could assist their clients.  Yeah, it's top of mind more now than ever, right? Even as you watch the news, right? Like $70 million, $15 million, right? It's not recorded in hundreds of dollars anymore. It's been business ending amounts essentially. And so that led a lot of Ida Bailey's clientele to say, hey, we want to focus on cybersecurity and as such, right? Here we are, we've offered cybersecurity services now for about five years and we're focused on building best practices with any of our clients and moving them forward, right? As Ida Bailey was an accounting firm, right? We're focused on technology consulting and business advising and our CPAs, financial services as well. It's a big forward thinking and it's very proactive and I'm sure maybe the service line came from a reactive state as Julia said, identifying the risk that exists. And I'm curious if we could just start with what are the types of cyber threats that may impact our organization? What are they? And talk to us if you would as like we have no idea really what the cybersecurity threats may be because I have a feeling some are completely unknown to me and many of our viewers. Right, well, I have to start with ransomware, obviously, right? We've all seen that in the news. It's impacted hundreds and thousands of organizations but in the news alone we've seen that impacting every industry and upwards of, right? We've seen $70 million with the Kaseya ransomware that came out around July 4th this year. Right, that is what is driving conversations today around cybersecurity. I don't want to be ransomware. But I just want to say that has no relation to me. Right. That's right, because her name is Jordan. Her name has no relation to this, yes. Right, and to describe what ransomware is, right? It's when an attacker takes control of your data and encrypts it or makes it unreadable to you and then holds it ransom and you can't get it back until you pay them or they'll actually do extortion and say we'll release your data to the public. And so that's what that's front of mind for every business manager, business owner at this point is we don't want to get ransomware. But again, it is just a small portion of the cyber threat landscape that's out there right now. I have a question. Go for it. Back up. So when you say data, I mean, I think a lot of us in the nonprofit sector were like credit card numbers from donors or whatever but it's not just that, right? I mean, it can be a lot of different things or is it, does it tend to be a certain type of data? So it... Sorry, I didn't like... No, that's a great question.  So they understand what data there is that is most important to you. So it might be donor information. It might be donor financial data. It could be your email communications, whatever they determine is the most important, right? Oftentimes it's financially motivated about 80 to 90% of the time it's financially motivated. And so, right, in the nonprofit industry, it's more than likely something to do with the financial impact, understanding how to get the most money out of this attack. Okay, I'm kind of sad that I interrupted you because that just turns my stomach. Right, right, that's... What you asked, right. I'm going to scare everybody. And then at the end, on the third day, we're gonna provide a lot of hope and best practices. So... Well, it is the months to scare everyone. So it's all good timing. And yeah, I'm glad you asked that, Julia. Because again, I think many of us hear of this concept and maybe have not experienced a cyber threat, but I do know several that have even... Well, I don't wanna quantify. I was gonna say, even as minimal is like hacking into someone's website, but that's not minimal. I mean, that's a big deal.  Anybody can access them from anywhere in the world from an internet connection. And so that exposes your organization to some extent because you have to have, right? And the statistics were clear 15 or 20 years ago. You have to have a website to be successful in any business. And then 10 years ago it was, you have to have a social media presence in order to be successful as a business. Fast forward 10 years from there. You have to focus on cybersecurity in order to be successful in business right now. So... Wow, okay, so I interrupted you. And before I go on to the next question, you've identified going after data, ransomware, our websites, any other types of threats that we need to be thinking about just in a holistic way. Right.  Holistically high level, high level. There's two attack vectors that we're focused on. The technical, which is your ransomware, somebody hacking into your environment, the public exposure. And then there's the human element. And that human element is often exploited through the concept of social engineering, which is the phishing emails, right? And a lot of organizations are familiar with the term phishing. And that's where somebody creates an email to look legitimate in order to gain credentials or your username and password or to have you download a file to run malware in that organization. That's actually the most common attack vector in cybersecurity right now, is that phishing. And that is coming, this is a question. So that's also coming by way of text messages now. Is that correct? Yeah, I literally just got one before we started the show. This said that I won $150 cost of a gift card. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and I too have received those, not today, but before stating, did you recently use your card because we've identified fraudulent activity, click this link and I'm like, no way. Am I clicking? Don't click the link. That's the number one word of advice. Don't click the link. Don't click the link. So what do we do in case of these phishing scams or emails, text messages, carrier pigeon, however they're coming to us these days? Yeah, education and training are the most important, right? You have to educate. And I separate education and training because training is usually the automated. You're watching somebody talk at you or it's click to the next slide, right? Education is getting feedback from somebody that understands and being able to have a dialogue back and forth. And so education training is the number one thing. As an end user, as somebody with a cell phone or a laptop or whatever, right? Don't click the link. If it's too good to be true, it's probably not true, right? You did not, if you're not expecting a FedEx package, don't click the link, right? If you want a $500 gift card, it's probably too good to be true. That's mostly what it comes down to is most people want the Nigerian Prince that has a $10 billion endowment for them, right? It's, you know, third cousin, Therese removed. But realistically, that's, you know, like it's too good to be true. Let's not send them our financial information. Wow, okay, well, I love that because we do have more and more viewers coming to us from Africa and the Middle East. And I've had them say, you know, that Nigerian Prince scam has ruined us as a client because when they go out to do legit work, they have that cloud and it's a real bummer. But anyway, okay. They have to overcome that stigma and it's, you know, soon it's going to be the text messaging and it's going to transition and we'll soon forget about the prince, but. It'll be something else. It'll move into another challenge. What are some of the challenges that make us as a sector, Michael, more vulnerable to these threats? Right, so non-profit as an industry is unique because you exist in every other industry. So you have the threats of being a non-profit and having the donor information, requesting grants and whatever it might be, but you also exist in a secondary industry most of the time, right? A lot of non-profits exist in the medical or healthcare industry. And so they suffer both from the threats that target non-profits and target donor information and also the threats that target, say healthcare or whatever other industry it might be. And so it's almost a two-fold attack that they're getting targeted at. Okay, that's another like, because I never thought of us in that way. Right, yeah, I mean, it's really interesting. And there's a different type of complexity in non-profits, right? Because you are garnering donation based funding, right? You also want to make sure that you are serving your donor as well by keeping your expenses lower and you don't want to have 50% expenses, 50% payout, right? If that's the type of non-profit you are. And so you want to focus on how do we keep our expenses low should cybersecurity be considered or not? And oftentimes, and it usually is pushed back, actually rest statistics say that executive directors and CEOs of non-profits were surveyed and only 29% of them plan to increase their cybersecurity spend over the next year. Yeah, so one of the service lines I offer as a consultant is strategic planning. And I have this model that includes administrative and that administrative model or circle of the model, Michael actually includes technology and cybersecurity comes up quite a bit, especially as we're moving and seeing trends of giving like monthly donations. And so there's a storage of credit card information somewhere or electronic transfers. We've had on the show someone that's doing cryptocurrency donation. So that's another level of complexity and financial component. And so really looking at the technology as a strategy for the organization is a huge potential risk. So how do we get ahead of that? Like I'm curious if you would recommend that we audit our technology or do some type of an assessment? Like what should we be thinking from the lens of potential hacking? Yeah, so I get that question often and I usually rephrase it to if I had a dollar to spend on cybersecurity, where should I spend this dollar? Okay. And every time I say on vision and visibility, right? You don't know where you need to be if you don't know where you currently are. We need to define or perform an assessment to understand what your current state is. So we can understand where your strengths are, where your gaps exist and how to, and building out that roadmap to cover those gaps and strengthen your program, right? And so the number one thing I recommend is let's start by identifying where you currently are. What is your current state? And then let's build that roadmap that can then define your direction and your vision forward. And that assessment should align with the business risks and it should align with the culture of the organization as well. One of the things we've seen over this time and Julie and I have seen it exponentially as I'm sure everyone throughout the nation is the advancements of technology. And it definitely feels like that has been one of the like predominant advancements over the last two years. And so as technology advances, I'm assuming the ill will behind hackers are also advancing at parallel paces. And so that to me is really scary. What exactly can we do by way of an organization to work with Ida Bailey on this front? Because clearly again, Ida Bailey is taking this progressive proactive measure to help us to take actions when we are hacked. So what does that look like? And even further, what does that look like with you? Yeah, so from our perspective, right? We wanna make sure that we understand where like I said, building out where we are and where we can go. But we wanna talk about, I always hate the saying it's not if but when you get attacked. And so I never wanna lead with that in any of my conversations. But what I do like to state is that as an organization, you have to be right every time you're getting attacked. And then the attacker only has to be right once to get past your defenses, right? And so it's not enough anymore to focus on what we can do proactively. The data is out and over the last couple of years and there was actually one of the largest threat reports that's released from IBM and the Poneman Institute that stated that there is a cost savings and being prepared to respond to an attack. So rather than focusing just on the proactive is focusing on being prepared to respond, monitoring your network and responding to it. And I think that, right, if you have a team prepared to respond and you actually exercise that response run through scenarios, the cost savings on a data breach if the breach even happens is about 40%. And so because you're able to mitigate it, I'll go ahead. So back up on that, when you say it's 40%, what does that actually mean? So on average, the cost of a data breach in 2020 worldwide was 3.9, somewhere around $3.9 million, $3.86 million. And the United States is actually double that at 3.64 or 8.64 million, right? Teams that had, or companies that had a team prepared to respond to it quicker and actually knew how to respond to it, saved 40% on that 3.64 or 3.86 million dollars. Wow. They spent around $1.9 to $2 million instead. And so, right, being able to mitigate it quicker, being able to stop the attack lessens that impact, right? And so I never want to focus on proactive measures and prevention holistically because as I said, realistically, an attacker only has to be right once. They only have to find one chink in the armor. They only have to find in the case of phishing, as I mentioned, the human element is the easiest to attack because somebody somewhere will fall victim to a phishing attack. And that is where they will get in. Yeah, right. The one unfortunately will say, oh, maybe I did order a FedEx, you know. Right. And I should click the link and then log in and now you have my credentials. So yeah. So, you know, I gotta ask this and we don't have that much time left. I mean, I'm really thrilled that as stressful as this is to hear all this, that we have you for three days because I know that the minute we're off this episode, I'm gonna be thinking about additional questions. So just be prepared. Yeah, absolutely. Please show up for the next two days. So I'm one thought I have in my head is that, is it inappropriate to say, I'm a small nonprofit. Who would ever wanna deal with me or hurt me? Is this, are we just talking about like the national federated chapter kind of organizations? Are we talking about Miss Betty's Bunny Rescue and Buckeye? I mean, where are we? Right, so we- A lot of population. I love slogans like hackers or heartless. One of the other things I've stated in ladies around the world, but hackers are lazy. They're opportunistic. And so right, going after a big fish to try and get a multi-million dollar ransomware takes a lot of time and effort. Small businesses and nonprofits at state, how I'm too small to be attacked are the target for most attackers because it's a quicker payout and it might not be millions of dollars. It could be 10, 15, 20, $50,000.  And so realistically speaking, they are and as we see about 50 to 60% of organizations have experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months. And of those that were small businesses, 60% of those will go out of business in the next 12 months that they experienced the data breach. One of the things I see, unfortunately, all too often, Michael is a mirrored account of an online fundraising campaign, right? So disaster strikes where there is opportunity and someone goes out and creates a similar or as I refer to kind of a mirrored campaign that is just similar enough to really be deceptive and those potentially Julia are some of the smaller organizations. They could be larger as well. Are you seeing this happening more and more, Michael? And is that considered a cyber hack or is it like, how would you classify those instances? That tends to fall under like fraud, right? As they're mimicking and copying the or impersonating your fundraising site and everything along those lines. And it's hard to stop because they haven't technically hacked your organization in any way other than looking at how your website was built. And so building out an intricate marketing plan, right? This is the non-technical side of it, an intricate marketing plan, detailed websites that are not easy to attack and then having a team that might be able to send a cease and desist is helpful in those arenas too. Interesting. Interesting that you use the word fraud versus hack because I agree with you, Jared. I've heard this more and more from organizations and I agree generally they're disaster oriented things where CNN is reporting, this just happened in this town and you can help out this community or whatever. We're seeing that a lot. Yes, and that ties back into the heartless nature of hackers, right? If there is an opportunity to create a fraudulent website or to attack somebody when they're at their weakest, that is what hackers will do. Hospitals during the last 18 months have been a massive target. In October of 2020, there was a massive ransom work campaign and it actually hit over probably, I think 10 hospitals and each of the ransoms were up to $1 million, right? And everybody's running around focused on life support and technology to save lives and not focusing on cybersecurity. And as such hackers are heartless and they kicked them when they were down. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Well, I need to like relax after this episode. Yeah. You know, going forward with you, we're gonna talk about a lot of different things. We're gonna be talking over the next couple of days about the cultural nature, like how do we get our entire team to understand why we need to be doing things a certain way, how we behave, how we educate ourselves. We're gonna also be talking about best practices so that we can be a lot more engaged in the process and not just responsive to some sort of crisis. And so I'm really appreciative that you're gonna be doing this with us. I also want to witness to everybody that Michael is in three different cities each one of these days. So today you are in Minneapolis, Minnesota. To tomorrow. You even know, Michael, it's like, God, I'm not sure. What day is this? To Minnesota and tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll be in Mankato, Minnesota, which is about an hour and a half south of Minneapolis. Okay. And then on the third day. On Wednesday, I will be in back in Denver, back home. Okay. To see my beautiful kids' faces. Okay, awesome, awesome. Well, here's Michael's information director of cybersecurity for Ida Bailey. You know, Ida Bailey as a really important national accounting firm, they have over 350 accountants just dealing with the nonprofit sector, which I think is absolutely fascinating. And to me, as we led our program today, I think this is such an indication of how big this issue has become. If an organization that's an accounting organization can see that it's something that is becoming a financial reality to their clients that would lead into this type of practice. I'm fascinated by it actually. It's happening too often.  Other cybersecurity nerds exist. Again, huge compliment. And for us to have you in the sector and for Ida Bailey to dedicate your level of expertise to us in the sector is very comforting because typically nonprofits, right? We do what we do because we have a huge passion to provide a solution to the community. And our passion is often not cybersecurity and mitigating technology threats. So thank you for sharing with us today what types of threats exist and then what those challenges are within our organization that makes us a little bit more vulnerable. And then also those actions that we can take when we are hacked. And, you know, Julia, we love statistics and that 40% I have a feeling is going to come up in one of our ask and answered because that is really a good thing to know is that it's not about being proactive. It's about taking that action and making the action do what it's intended to do when that happens so that you can save on that threat. So thank you, Michael and to Ida Bailey for sharing your time and your talents with us today. Absolutely. Thank you for the opportunity. It's been a pleasure talking. Well, you're not done yet, my friend. Oh no, no, I'm not. I know. Because my hair's on fire and I'm gonna have a lot more questions for you. Hey, you know, we're gonna have Michael back here for the next two days. So be thinking about how you and your organization might be impacted by this because if not when. Again, I'm Julia Patrick, CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. I've been joined by the other nerd in the room, the nonprofit nerd, Jared Ransom, CEO of the Raven Group. Again, we wanna thank all of our presenting sponsors without you, we would not be here having this discussion. Thank you ever so much. We want to also let you know that we are running our annual viewer survey. So we'll be talking more about that, but we really do wanna know the types of information and discussions that you need for the health and the safety and security and the growth of your nonprofit. So be looking for that. Wow, Jared, this has been really interesting and something that we haven't really talked about. No, we haven't, but we're talking about it a lot this week. I'm so grateful and I hope that you will come back even beyond this week, Michael, regardless of where you might be in Minnesota or throughout the nation, so grateful to have I'd be at least commitment to this and to the commitment to the sector at large. So thank you, Michael and to your entire team. Absolutely, thank you for having me on too. Well, it's been, yeah, it's been a lot of fun. Join us tomorrow as we talk about this conversation, but we will be talking about different things and giving you ideas. So no matter the size of your organization, what you are doing within the nine main sectors of the nonprofit world, I think that this is really a valuable time to commit to learning and kind of exploring how we could deal with heartless hackers. Hey everybody, it's been a great day. Thanks so much already. As we like to remind everybody as we sign off for the day, stay well so you can do well.


My name is Lance Corporal Joseph Smith. Corporal Benjamin Walsh. Corporal Cackamas. It was Memorial Day weekend. We decided we were going to go down and visit our friends grave. So we went down there, spent the day down there. On the way home, we stopped at a gas station. We needed gas and we were hungry and was late. On the way out, an elderly woman came up to us and said that she needed help that her husband fell. So we tried to assist him to get up and then he wasn't like holding on to the walk or anything. So we put him back in the car and then, you know, she thanked us. And then on our way out, we were all like loaded up in the car and everything. She came back over to us and said that he was unconscious. I had Corporal Lynch call 9-1-1. Cackamas was helping the older lady, just keeping her like calm and out of the way. I had Lance Corporal Smith hold the man's head because he was kind of convulsing. And then I started doing a sternum rub to make him responsive. At one point, we were about to pull him out and started doing CPR because he stopped breathing. But when we were about to pull him out, he started breathing again. But he was still unresponsive, so we hit him with another sternum rub. Kept doing that back and forth for about 15 minutes while we waited for the ambulance. I did drive her to the hospital. I took her so she didn't have to drive alone out there.  We stayed there with her until I think it was her sister or her sister-in-law got there with her. I think anybody would have done it.


This forest, not a war that has been fought or one that will be, but any war and the enemies who struggle here do not exist unless we call them into being. This forest then and all that happens now is outside history. Only the unchanging shapes of fear and doubt and death are from our world. These soldiers that you see keep our language and our time, but have no other country but the mind. Do you think they're looking for us? It's... What about ours, all right? You can't see us. But maybe they saw a plane back there. There isn't much left of it to see, unless it's still burning. Even if they could spot us, there isn't anything that they could do to help us here. Here. Six miles behind the enemy lines. Well, that's not too far. Not too far? And those six miles are probably thousands of guys, and every one of them was taught to shoot at uniforms like this. If you're so worried about that, why don't you keep your voice down? I'm not worried. What's going to happen, Lieutenant? If somebody around here saw a plane go down, they might be looking for us in the woods already. I'd feel a lot easier if our arsenal was better stocked. It isn't very much. Too bad you fellas didn't get your rifles out of the plane. Once he would be done. Once you understand how a mousetrap works, if you're clever enough, you can use it as a springboard. Here are the front lines. From our position just before we crashed, we should be in this general area. Our own lines are here, and we should be about here. There's a river that runs east of where we are now, I think. That river cuts right through the front lines and winds up on our side. Now, as I see it, we might be able to use our reconditioned mousetrap on the river. Is that your idea? To go down the river? Yes. How? How can we get down it? I can't swim very well. In pleasure. We could do it on a raft. At night. Well, we'll never make it any other way. It's suicide to try to walk on. I wouldn't have a vaguest idea of how and where to start. This way, we could just cruise through together in a few hours and arrive in one piece. Now, by my computations, we... Your computations? You're a brilliant figure in the goddess in the first place. It must be somebody's pet. It has a collar. Eh, make a better watch, dog. Seems friendly enough. We can't use a mask upon this trip. Hurry up. We don't have all day. No one has a better suggestion. Let's head for the river. Some more animals might show up. We'll fight the other bastard for some reason. We'll get there before it burns in the bushes. I could do it alone. Just a corner to turn and be with a bunch of crippled. Nobody's safe here. Are they watching me? Blame who? I'll blame the pig. Keep them beaded on a string. Lost, I should look around. Getting hungry. What's up?  Oh, much isn't back of us. So angry at each other. Time for a night, sooner. I want to look up later. All the twigs cracking in my head. We'll need pause for the night. I crashed through myself. The bird was wounded. I don't run for no reason. Nail on the sun. Wait! What's going to hang in the trees tonight? Hurry with them. No dying in the woods. Maybe I'm getting old. Faster! The lights, please. I'm sinking in the woods. Don't die here. Dark will be bad. All the lights in the woods, please. We'll get past this road. The river isn't very much further. There's nothing so refreshing as an afternoon out of doors and enemy territory. It's really too bad that the sun doesn't burn a screen instead of brown. It's a camouflage. Well, if you see some strange faces across the way, just wave to them casually and try to look as native as possible. Lieutenant! Lieutenant! Come here. Bring your binoculars. What do you want? I'd like you to see something around the riverbed. What? I can't make out exactly what it is, but I think you'll be interested. Come on. Over there. See? Looks like some kind of small airstrip. Yes, you're right. Lots of rank around. Looks like a general. He's a general. Let's get back and help with the raft. Mac, let's go. All we need now is Huckleberry Finn. This ought to see us through. Yeah, it doesn't look bad at all. Yay! Should we make sure it floats? Rafts always float. It's unfortunate that we don't have a distinguished bottle to christen it with. Yeah, we could give it a name. Starting to get dark. I don't know. Perhaps they didn't see us. But it's too dangerous to wait here until we find out. What are we going to do? How are we going to get back? Hurry up. Let's go. That plane must have landed down that house we saw before. What's the difference? There must be something big going on down there. Maybe the generals are having a convention tonight. We didn't see this on the way to the river. Well, we've been running in a new direction. Whatever junk they're eating sure smells good. Like mother's own. Those guns look even more tempting than the food does. I've got an idea. Look, no matter what we do from here on, we're much better off with some guns. I'm going to get some of that stew first. Sidney, better grab something to eat. Maybe a long time till our next feast. You better eat something. How's the stew, Mac? Cold stew's all right. Cold stew on a blazing island. We've just made a perfect definition of war, Mac. Stucky. Of course, a blazing island with a tempest of gunfire around it that fans the blade. Perhaps if we could... Grab those guns and let's keep going. Why did you have to shoot? Forget it. Let's move. There are lives running our fingers down the lists in directories, looking for our real names, our permanent addresses. No man is an island. Perhaps that was true a long time ago before the Ice Age. The glaciers have melted away and now we're all islands. Hearts of a world made of islands only. Hey, how long are you going to hang around here? We're in a fine mess now. I'd give anything to trade placements, that dog we chased yesterday. Seems like whenever people get in a hole they begin to get jealous of dogs. I admit that our prospects aren't very cheerful. But how about going back to see if our raft is still there? Look, if we were spotted they'll have a trap waiting for us when we shot. Well, it's a chance. They're trying to walk out as risky today as it was yesterday. We'll scout around the river and make certain. Then what? Even if we find the raft there, even if none of them are laying for us, then what? Then we'll have to sit tight until it gets dark and hope that we don't have a full moon. We can sing old songs if we get restless waiting. Which man? Which man is Newcomes?  So even if we get caught, you're pretty safe. Come on. We may be in the woods, McClellan, but let's try to remain civilized. Yeah, I suppose you're right, Luke. Anyway, there won't be many days left to be civilized in. We stick around these woods much longer. Don't be afraid. We're not going to hurt you. She's quite nice. Don't you think so, boys? Well, what are we supposed to do with her now? I've got a wife at home. I'm afraid she's become our uninvited guest. I must say I've had worse guests at better parties. All right, coffee. All right. Let's not forget where we are. Even though we're lost in the woods, let's try to remain civilized. Well, we can't stay here. What are you going to do with her, Lieutenant? Give me your belt. You too, Fletcher. Please don't beat her. She's just scared like we are. She doesn't even talk.  No one's going to punish her. I simply want to tie her up. Now, give me your belt. Let's hurry it up. My arm's getting tied. Be careful not to hurt her. I hope she doesn't start screaming. She's a pretty little thing. Why don't we just leave her here and get going? Don't rush me. If we can make her understand this, perhaps she can tell us whether they found the raft. Habla Espanol? I'll handle this, Sidney. I'm quite sure she wasn't educated abroad. Let's see. You see boat, our boat. Yes, that's it. Boat. You see boat. Don't tell me she doesn't even understand you. If she can't tell us anything, let's let her go. Sure, so she can run downstream to that command post and tip our hand. You kid. Maybe she was going there in the first place. With the fish, you mean? Sure. A general gets what he wants for dinner no matter what. It's fish caught of fresh strawberries with gold plates. This is hardly the time to become a revolutionary. We ought to continue to see about the raft. But we can't let her go yet. Why? What'd she do to us? If she could understand, she would have told you. Make her already told you why. Sidney, you'll stay here with the young lady until we come back. Here, take this. You're going to leave me here? Yes, I told you to watch the girl.  I know because yesterday. Keep calm, kid. If we're not back by night, just get in touch with the old man about a wedding. Maybe you can settle down in a tree house and raise some monkeys. Leave him alone, Mac. Don't listen to him. Remember, you promised to come back, Fletcher. I'll watch her to stay here and keep an eye on her because she may prove very useful that the raft has been discovered. We ought to be back in a couple of hours. Now, just relax. Don't get panicky. See you later, Sidney. They thought you had liked me. Have you gone, Mac? Don't do that. Don't go away. It's not my fault. I stopped them from beating you. Don't scowl. Watch. I'll make you laugh. Look, I'm the general. Watch me. Attention. The general is here. Attention. Glad to have you with us, sir. Quite frankly, the situation is desperate. I don't think I can cope with it alone. Isn't it funny? Isn't it? Orderly. More fat fish that the girl caught for me. The general. I am the general. You have to hate me. Please try to like me also. You're reading a magazine in that plane. I wouldn't have believed it. Better take a look around the river bend. Careful. We'll get to where camouflageing will ramp. I'm a little worried about Sidney back there with the girl. I don't like the way he's been acting. You're not going soft-headed and thinking about taking her along with us tonight. You're beginning to sound like Sidney. No. She could bring three friends, perhaps. But as it is, she'll remain locked in the forest like we were. Then I could make the red eye between his ears. Then he'd see McLaren. It's so hard to finish and wait for words. You want him more? Do you? Then the spirit and magician's power was back to the island and tells Miranda that her father's dead. The spirit sings how he's dead at the bottom of the ocean. His bones are quarreled, his eyes are pearls. And Miranda, her father's dead. Dead? Can't you understand anything? Dead. Dead. All clear? Everything's all right. I'd like to talk to you about that house. What house? A house down there. The one where we saw that general yesterday. Wait around, Mac. Right now I'd like you to go back to Sidney. I didn't like the way he was acting when we left. I'm a little concerned. But don't you think that we... Do as I say, will you? As soon as we're through here, we'll join you. I don't want anything to go wrong back there.  You'll put your arms around me. I know. Wait. I knew you'd like me. Just a minute. Okay, will you lie to me? Where's the girl? Answer me. Don't leave me here. No, no, no. I want you to a jelly. She was tired. She might lie down. Over there. Annoyer, Mac. It wasn't my fault. The magician did it. Honest. Prosper all the magician. First were a bird, and then were an island. Before I was a general. And now I'm a fish. Blood, Mac. I'm going for a swim. Come on in, Mac. Listen to them. What happened? We're Sidney and the girl.  When I got back, he was just laying there. The girl's dead. Over there. He shot her. Where is he? He's gone. He held something about how the magician does it. And before he was something, and now he's a fish. Before I could stop him, he ran away towards the river. He kept laughing and screaming. We can't do anything about it now. We'll have to move again. A nice spot near the raft would be the best place to wait till night. I guess there's going to be more elbow room than I thought. And I want to talk to you about that house down the river. And the general. I won't hear any more about it. I don't know what's gotten into you, Mac. So you saw a general. So what? The raft is all set and in a couple of hours we'll be on it. Can't you see any further? A general, why he... How many times do we have to go over this? What should I tell you again? It's one of their generals to me. He's cheap in my rate of exchange, but our lives aren't. Your rate of exchange.  If you had any guts... Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Forget about the general for a minute. What about the plane you saw? That's right. What about that plane? We've already been over this. It looks like a two-seater and with that small field for me to clear. Look, one of us can take that raft downstream to the field when it gets dark and start shooting to draw the sentries from the house. And the other two can plug that guy and get away in a plane while I keep him busy from the ramp. You? Sure. Me. But getcha. You'd never make it back alive. Who else could do it the way I could? You couldn't. You'd be right at home sitting down nice and comfortable in a cockpit looking down on what's going on. Sure. You recite a few sins you've picked up and everything will be all right. I'd just as soon make the trip back myself. All right. Do you think you'd have any chance at all to get away with it alive? Here I am. I'm 34 years old. I've never done anything important. Nothing. When this is over, I'll fix radios and wash machines and they'll sink. Good boy, Mac. I don't care if they got a million generals. There's one, two miles from here. His hide's gonna keep me from going nuts. Like sitting. Only in a different way.  Why should we? The raft's still there. As soon as it gets dark, it can take us all back tonight. Look, if I draw him down to the river, you and Fletcher can do the job and get away in a plane. What do you say, Fletcher? Well, it's not that I want to seem important. Half the trouble in the world happens because some people do. But I think half the good things happen that way, too. If we could get away with it, it would sure be better. I... I don't know the words to say what I mean, but this is something for me. Something... I guess we can all probably make it back on that thing, but when you walk and walk through the woods and then suddenly they dangle a general in front of you like magic, and you know it's only for this once. You can't turn your back on them. None of us asked to be here, but we all have to gamble. It's not as if we could refuse. We had to gamble once we crashed. That general raised the stakes, and we've been so lucky, why shouldn't we put up a little more than we have to? What are you living for anyway? To make talk? Why? Why is your life so precious? Why? Can you tell me why? Why? They always corner me with that why. If I knew a decent answer to it, I'd shout it, and probably should write it on walls with chalk. Do it for me. Well, we have nothing to lose, but our futures. Don't start for a half an hour. The flight isn't still there. We'll have time to get back to you. Don't worry. It'll be there. Good luck, Mac. See you soon. Try not to get your feet wet. Here.  Okay, fellow. So long. Mac, I hope that sometime... I guess we both... Sometimes talk. It's an indispensable medicine. Yeah, but you get sicker later. Good luck. I didn't really mean what I said before about guts. Yes, you did. But don't let it bother you. Take it easy, fellow. The plane's still there, so I guess there's no really good excuse to go back. I guess not. Can you see? Hold it. What time is it? We have about ten minutes before Mac begins. It's better to roll up your life into one night and one man and one gun to keep hurting everyone else in every direction and to be hurt with all the separate hates exploding day after day. You can't help it.  And nobody alive can tell which is which or what you mean. Or after door when you hear voices you like behind them. But the knobs come off in your hand. One of the men did down by the river. He was very busy baying at the moon.  Staying away without leave for two whole days. An officer should know how to control himself better. Have a drink, Captain. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. You must never, never do that again, Proteus.  Then you could become a murderer or even a traitor. Not your dog, sir. He knows his allegiance. Have you been alert, Proteus? Have you detected all the distant marchings? Has your wet nose become aware of all the blood on the grass? What else can you tell us besides your puppy-dog sadness? I wish you could tell us where those enemy soldiers from that wrecked plain are. They've been bothersome for the last two days. They all soon got tired of starving and being hunted. Even Proteus was tired of it after two days. See that Lieutenant Proteus gets something to eat. Yes, sir. Nobody's gonna cry for me later or cheer for me now. Nobody else is me. I know that. Who else but me is buried under the chain of everything I ever did. I didn't mean any of it. It was all wrong. Good riddance. What a thing to come to at the end. Like building a bridge. Or stealing the crown jewels. Thanks, General. Thanks. I'll take the tombstone if it's really mine. Even the north for four divisions. One by one the men turned black. As we waited for the last snowflake to dissolve. Across the valley our enemies blew on their cold hands. Until no more breath came. Then they were dead. And they knew it. We were so well prepared for death. That the armistice was a mutual disappointment.  I'll be the wheel under all the ducks and all the bull's eyes. I still become uneasy when I find myself trapped. Directing the courses of frightened men. I cannot quite admit that it is I who am creating slaughter. It is abyss that I left the road. That I ordered this. That what is a prison for me. I make a grave for others. To your health, sir. Never is helping me out of my life. Sometimes these maps. Sometimes as I look at these maps, I wonder if my own grave isn't being planned. Or here. Or here. No more Sundays. No more a thousand things. Kissing my great-grandmother when she was dying. I missed him. I think he's only wounded. Come on. We have to finish him off. But they'll stop shooting at the river. They'll be here any minute. Please, we don't have any time. Can I come? I won't be any bother. Sure, kid. Hop on. There's plenty of room. Thanks a lot for stopping. He's in there. All right, Mac. You rest. I'll be quiet. I lost my wife. Please. The naked. The naked Mac. And what happened to the sergeant? He might make it. With your permission, I'd like to go down to the river and watch for him. Yes, sir. The same goes for me. You both certainly have the right to it, if you wish. Do you think he'll come back? I'm not sure yet whether even we've come back. I think we've all traveled too far from our own private boundaries. We're not certain about these other things anymore. We'll come back to ourselves. Part of me's glad, but... Yeah. I'm glad in a way, too. And I feel free all of a sudden, but somehow I don't want what I wanted before. I know it's good. There's nothing else I can want. I'm all mixed up. I wish I could want what I wanted before. Is your head bothering you? No, it's something else. What's that? I guess I'm not built for this. Nobody ever was. It's all the trick we performed when we'd rather not die immediately.


The highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 virus has rapidly expanded its geographical range since 2021, infecting both wild birds and domestic poultry in multiple continents. This rapid global spread has been accompanied by the emergence of new strains of H5N1, which have acquired genetic material from other strains of the virus. These newly evolved strains have caused severe illness and death in humans and animals, including mammals. In order to prevent the spread of this virus and prepare for a possible pandemic, it is important to monitor the evolution of these strains and develop strategies to control their spread. This article was authored by Ahmed Kandyle, Christopher Patton, Jeremy C. Jones, and others.


It's a great privilege that we have Baba with us and Acharya ji. Probably there's nobody in the country who doesn't know about Abharaamdev. We will leave him alone. But what Acharya ji has created in this country, in the form of this Patanjali brand, in a matter of just about probably twelve years or thirteen years, it's become one of the biggest brands in the country bringing a totally new dimension to India's business. Over two billion dollar business and... See, here's the CEO, look at him. So CEO without salary, CEO without suit, without jacket and without tie. This is an exemplary model of a Desi company, an Indian company, really good one. It is something that the business community in the world, particularly in India, has to learn that with such simplicity, but with absolute devotion towards what you're creating, what can be created is so phenomenal in this FMCG arena where they are. As far as I know, I don't think no company in the country in a matter of ten to twelve years time has become a two-billion dollar company as they have become. And they have the largest food processing industry in the world. Everybody knows these things, but what people do not know is I had the privilege of visiting their lab, what they're creating there. They have kind of documented seventy-two thousand medicinal plants, which has never been done before in a most scientific manner. All this, look at the simplicity, one man is shirtless, another man like this. This man is production and execution, this man is marketing. This is something that India has to learn from. I've been speaking about this, but these are exemplary models of that, that to run major businesses, you don't have to strangle yourself with a tie. What you're seeing here, I believe is the future of India's business houses. I'm taking the liberty of inviting Acharya Balakrishna ji. This year it's all fixed up, but 2019 the insight, which is a business meet, where we have had people like Ratan Thatta, Narayan Murthy, Kevi Kamath and many, many others. Almost all the top corporate leaders have been here. Next year he's coming here as the corporate leader of this company. When I first heard about you many years ago, I rolled my eyes and and I muttered something about Guru types. And until a few months ago when my sister gave me your book Inner Engineering, which happens to be New York Times bestseller, it changed my perspective. Honestly, if it wasn't New York Times bestseller book, I would have not read it. What is it about the West, the West stamp that we can't do without it? I mean there are so many books and unless Americans don't approve of it, it just doesn't make sense. Why is that? We've still not gotten out of that Furang syndrome. It has to come from there. Today, why do you think so many people are talking about yoga? The yoga they're talking about in India is largely a rebound from the American coast. They're not talking about the yoga that is here. This is the source of yoga. That brings to me a question about our roots ingrained in yoga and spirituality. But where has it got us as a nation, as a country, as a continent? Let's understand this very clearly. Here we always focused on individual development because without creating great human beings, there is no great nation, there is no great culture, there is no great world. World, nation, society, these are just words. It's just you and me. What kind of people we are, that's the kind of society, that's the kind of nation, that's the kind of world we will live in. So we always focused on individual development. In this we produced still our human beings, absolutely fantastic human beings. For thousands of years, who created a fantastic culture? These days, the common discussion which is going on is again about the refugees. They are coming in millions and millions and millions where our own are starving. We are trying to project our inefficiency as compassion. I don't like that. We don't know how to man our borders, but we are talking about compassion, that's not the truth. When somebody comes to the nation's door, because they are violently persecuted somewhere, we should treat it differently. After all, they are human beings. But for economic well-being, people are daily porous borders, people are going across here and there. We need to do something about it. If you just allow people and give them ration cards and identity cards, simply without any accounting, this is going to be a disaster. This will lead to all kinds of problems in future. You cannot run a nation without knowing who is in this country. If you want to be really inclusive, we can make the two countries into one. You can make Bangladesh into a union territory and make it a part of this country. If you are ready for that, I think India is ready for that. If you talk about inclusiveness, that's a way to include, isn't it? Not slipping into my house from the back door and saying, include me, it's not going to work. Okay, now we'll move to your favorite topic. What is that? No, you've figured out all those things. Okay, now we move to Shiva. So, Shiva is what I got from reading about it and doing my practices and spending time with you. Shiva is not somebody sitting up there and looking at all of us. Shiva is a dimension. It is what they say in science, a black hole where nothingness seems to be the origin of universe. Okay, tell me, that so Adi Yogi, the very first Yogi was somebody who has access to that dimension. So, why is it that you are obsessed with Adi Yogi? Isn't it like making it about the container and not the contained? Isn't it like that? Till now I've not said a word about him, you brought him. No, but you've made the sculpture of Adi Yogi and you... Yeah, it's only one-and-a-half years old, but you're not checking what I was doing these 36 years. Let's come to that, that's fine. See, about Adi Yogi is not an obsession or the Adi Yogi is a plan. You talked about nothing. If you want to understand nothing, you must put a hyphen between no and thing. It's not a thing. That doesn't mean it does not exist. Now, science is talking about no things. That means non-physical dimension of existence, something that is not a thing but still a powerful force. The source of all that exists here as physical stuff essentially comes from that which is not a thing or no thing or Shiva. So my last question is about our youth. Apparently the statistics say that every one hour, actually less than an hour, a young person below twenty-five is committing suicide. Why is that? Suicide is not a pleasant thing. You must look at what psychologically that person goes through to come to the decision. It's the most horrible part of one's life where somewhere they feel so trapped either by physical situations, financial situations or emotional situations, so absolutely trapped when there is no other way. This is when they take that kind of violent exit which we call as suicide. Why is this happening? You must understand in this country in 2017, 7,600 children below fifteen years of age have committed suicide.  What is it? We are somewhere driving ourselves to a certain desperation. One big cause for all this is education system. So youth means an exuberant energy. But most of the time the problem with the youth is they don't have the necessary clarity nor balance. We are launching a campaign called Youth and Truth in the month of September. We are doing events across the country in various universities. We expect you and all your friends in the industry and in the media, please be a part of it. Such a large youthful population without necessary clarity, without competence, without balance, they could be the biggest disaster on the planet. But if we organize this well, we could be the greatest miracle in the world. My message to all the youth who are going to participate in this, ask Sadhguru all kind of questions about monthly cycles, about sex, drugs, all scandalous questions. This is being pitched as Youth and Truth, unplugged with Sadhguru. Ask whatever you want. Ask whatever you want. Nothing is a taboo.

Proudly, we hail from New York City where the American stage begins. Here is another program with a cast of outstanding players. Public service time has been made available by this station to bring you this story as proudly we hail the United States Army. Our story today is entitled Fisherman's Luck. This is the exciting tale of three sergeants of the United States Army stationed in Europe who on a fishing trip prove that casting can catch more than fish. Our first act curtain will rise in just a moment, but first, right now, here's an important message for young men who are high school graduates. Never before in history has there been such a need and such an opportunity to serve your country and yourself as there is today in the United States Army. If you're qualified, there are careers open for you in radio, radar, weather, communications, and many, many other fields. So pay a visit to your nearest United States Army recruiting station without delay and get full details. And now your United States Army presents the proudly we hail production, Fisherman's Luck. The clear blue lake was surrounded by lofty peaks. It was a scene that could belong to Maine or Colorado, but it didn't. The lake and the mountains were high in the wilderness of Bavaria. The three men in the rowboat were Americans. They were soldiers on leave, three sergeants on vacation. All three were holding fishing rods, but one of them was doing more talking than fishing. What am I doing here? How do I get swindled into these things? What's the matter? Don't we get enough nature all year round as it is? We get a leave, where do we go? I'm scaring the fish. Got a strike check? No. Lily pad. Look at us. What do we do?  Where do I sleep? In a sleeping bag in a tent. You're rocking a boat, Teddy. We still have five days in Paris, Teddy. Didn't get a strike, huh, Bob? I can't figure this out, Jack. Pop sent me his own special plug. It's the worst it's caught on bass in every state of the Union. Yeah, but, uh... These are German fish, remember? They never heard of your old man or his plug. All right, let's pack it in. Tomorrow's another day. These babies only bite at sunrise. Yeah, that's what the old man down at the village said. Gotta be up bright and early around here if you want to get bad. Gotta be up bright and early around here. Can I remind you guys of something? We're on leave. Breathe that air, Teddy. Look at the view. Look at those mountains. Oh, I can breathe air and look at mountains on the army's time. Pull in your line, Teddy. Hey, hey, something's pulling. Hey, look at his line. Hey, Teddy, you got a bass. What do I do? What do I do? Four pounds of fees an ounce. Don't give him any slack. You'll lose him. Grab the net bottle. Come on. Don't bang him against the side of the boat. I'm trying. Got him. Oh, boy, look at the size of him. Well, he's your fish, Teddy. Unhook him. What do you mean, unhook him? You mean take him off the hook? You mean you want me to touch him? Look at him. He's scared. What do you mean, I'm scared? All I know is I'm out with two big deal fishermen and I'm the only one who's caught a fish. Hey, fellas. What's the matter? Look, two civilians. See, a man and a woman standing by the tent. Hey, where's that woman going? She's getting in the car. She's trying to start the motor. Well, later, I got the key. Hey! Hey, get away from that car! Grab the oars, Bob. I don't like this. We're trying to steal our car. Easy, easy, Bob. Come into the shore now. Hey, don't hit that rock. What were you doing in that car, sister? You, you are Americans. Are you soldiers? Yeah, we're soldiers. Help us, please help us. Why do you try to steal our car? Hey, Teddy, this guy's standing here. He looks ready to keel over.  Hey, what's wrong? What's, what's the matter with you, buddy? Don't you feel well? He has been shot. Shot? By whom? Never mind that right now. Hey, Jack. Pull that sleeping bag over here, will you? Bob, let him rest on your arm. That's it. Now, just lower him. Come on, fella. You better lie down. No, they're after us. Who's after you? You must get us away from here.  Where's he hit, Teddy? On the shoulder. They've got a dressing on him. Hey, get the first-aid kit from the tent, huh? Please, listen. My brother and I, we were running away from them. There was a fight and I never shot. They must have followed us here. How many men are after you? Four, maybe five. They're armed? Oh, yes. Oh, that's great. We don't have a weapon on us. I have Heinrich's pistol. Don't give it to me. Now, let's have the whole story. Who's chasing after whom and why? My brother Heinrich is a chemist. The Reds forced him to work for them. Yeah. He escaped to here, free Germany. They thought we were safe. They want him badly, so they found us here. There isn't too much I can do here. This boy needs a hospital in the... an operating room in the worst way. Company coming. Don't let them take us. Please don't. Well, Martha, Heinrich, here you are. Who are you, buddy? Police. Well, I, uh... I wouldn't doubt that at all. And the question is, which police? This man who was wounded, the dangerous criminal, escaped our custody. The woman is his accomplice. Ah. The, uh...  Correct. Show me your identification, and you can take your prisoners. Meanwhile, I'll show you this pistol.  All right, now, come on, show us your papers.  Are you not aware that your army cooperates with the civilian authorities? Look, you prove that your authorities and will cooperate. Now, there's four of you.  I see. Very well. Dmitri, Hans, we shall leave here temporarily. Yeah. How do you figure that? Well, they didn't want to tangle with us here for reasons of their own. We thought we would be safe here in the mountains. How's your boy telling? All I could do was sprinkle a little sulfur powder and dress it. What did we get into anyhow? I should have just gone off without a fight. There were four to our three. Well, we showed with one pistol. I don't know. Well, I have a reason, I'll bet on it. Miss, you say they want your brother. He's a chemist? Yes, he's an authority on foods, his written books. Perhaps you've heard of him. His name is Heinrich Schneider. My name is Martha. Well, I'm Sergeant Bob Somerville. This is Sergeant Jack Hastings, Sergeant Teddy Brown. Well, guys, it looks like we dealt ourselves into something. Let's see how much is in the pot. We saw four of them, Miss Schneider. Any more? I do not know. Heinrich and I were hiding in a cottage near the village. This morning, those men came in. We got away, but Heinrich was hurt.  Well, it's just since they went off just now for a lot of help. All we've got is this pistol and, uh, well, that's nice and nothing. Clip's empty, no ammo. Then we can count on these guys coming back with friends and a few guns. Yeah. We need help, too. Should be a phone at that inn down at the village. How about the civilian cops? No, I didn't notice any. The place is probably too small. Well, it's five miles down to the village. We can make it to the phone, we'll be all right. Hey, uh, is there one of our outfit station around here somewhere? Yeah. MP's at Slesingen. 12 miles in the village. Uh, look, rifleman. I hate to break up the meeting, but my patient needs action. Oh, well, he'll have to sit up in the car. Can he do it? He shouldn't. But he'll have to. Come on, give us a hand. Hey, what about our tenant stuff? No room to carry it, no time to pack it. Miss Schneider, you get in the car and Heinrich can lean on your shoulder, all right? Easy now. Don't jolt him. Open the door, please. Yep. Hey, we got room for the fishing rush? Yeah. But come on, move. I hate to leave my pop special plugs here. I hope those guys aren't waiting for us down the road somewhere. Oh, they're waiting for us to pin down it. We'll get from them again. They know we gotta go to the village. They know we gotta phone for help. They must be making some kind of plan. Well, one thing I know, we have to get to the village before they do. Slow down, will you? This guy's hurt bad. Oh, Teddy, we'll never get to the village at this rate. I know, I know, but believe me, the bumps will kill this guy. Oh, really in the soup now? Here's Ian. I don't like it. It was too easy. Well, what do you think we ought to do now, Jack? Well, I'll go inside. I'll call the nearest civilian police. I'll tell them we need help. And then we gotta get the nearest army outfit briefed also. All right. Teddy and I'll stay out here. Better get him to send an ambulance, too. Is Heinrich better, Sergeant? Well, I'm not even hoping for him to get better. Just so long as he doesn't get any worse. Well, I'll be right back. Good afternoon. Can I use your phone? My telephone? I want to call the police. My telephone? Operator. Operator. Operator. Hey, what's with your telephone? Obviously, the line has been cut. Yo, my friends and I have been waiting patiently. Sergeant, these men, they have a gun. They forced me to sit here. They say nothing. Be quiet. Now we have no wish to disturb free worthy American soldiers on their well-earned leaves. We will just relieve you of your car and of your passengers. Thanks, sir. We left you in such a hurry before in order to procure firearms. See? Hans, Dmitry. Yeah? Bring the two soldiers inside. Yeah. We will tie all these up and get for ourselves a sufficient start. Bob, Teddy, get out of here. Don't shoot. Look into the floor. Jackson, trouble. Come on, let's get in there. You gotta get help, fellas. Hey, Bob. Bob, we can't run away and leave him. Well, you think I want it? He knows what has to be done. Wait a minute. He isn't yelling help me, he's saying get help. Catch us. Look out. They hit a tire. You are listening to the proudly we hail production, Fisherman's Luck will return in just a moment for the second act. It shall not happen here. That is the unspoken prayer of every man in the United States Army. That is the unspoken reason for our growing military might. But the time has come to speak. The time has come to tell of that small phrase, those five words, it shall not happen here. Let us speak only to those young men of America who have not taken pause to think. Let's shout it in a voice that will reach into every city and village across the length and breadth of this great land. Young man, you are needed. You are needed to help preserve the peace. You are needed to serve in the United States Army to ensure for your loved ones that it shall not happen here. And while you serve, you'll be building a rewarding career for yourself. Everyone who wears the uniform of the United States Army is sharing in a service that is vital to our country. To each belongs the individual dignity which has characterized Army careers since the birth of our nation. In the Army, opportunity is open to all on an equal basis. Affording its young members of today a chance to become technical specialists, instructors, leaders of tomorrow. You are urged to visit your local United States Army recruiting station at your earliest opportunity and ask about the technical careers in the United States Army. Remember, the need is urgent. And now your United States Army presents the second act of the proudly we hail production, Fisherman's Luck.  You okay? Yeah, yeah, I think so. Sergeant, my brother, is he all right? He's breathing. Don't look now, but her friends are here. Well, see what you have done now? The car is useless. We've captured you anyhow. Step out. Oh, man's talking and the man has a gun. Take out also. Carry him back to the inn. What do you want with my brother? Haven't you done enough to him? Don't irritate this guy, miss. He's mean enough normally, but with a gun there's no holding him. Your friend, he is waiting for us back at the inn. A little the worse for where, but nothing serious. Oh, Chief, what's your next move? We shall obtain a vehicle somewhere and continue on our journey. Inside, please. Jack. Hi, fellas. Jack, you hurt? Man, my eye feels like I got four of them, but look at our friends. I gave as good as I got. Where's my innkeeper? You there. Sit behind your counter. Someone should enter. You will tell him you're closed. The Americans, Henry and Martha will stay in that far corner. Away from side of the door. Hunts, you sit here with your pistol, where you can see everything. What are you gonna be doing, Chief? Dmitry and I shall go out to find the vehicle. Into that corner with you. They will take us back. I'm sorry. It's not your fault. You did what you could. We could have brought it off, too. What a lucky shot. They hit the tire of a car that was doing 50 at 100 yards. He could never do it again. That's a cinch. He doesn't have to. Once is enough. He can retire now. I want you to know that you're the bravest men I've ever met. This was not your fight, and everything was against you, and yet you tried. Hey, fellas, when these guys come back, what do you figure is gonna happen to us? I haven't been giving you much thought, really. Really? You wanna work on it now? I can't see them saying so long, fellas, and just taking off. Neither can I. I can't help feeling that the three of us are jammed up just as bad as Heinrich and Martha. Hey, how is Heinrich? Well, I'd say he's got a chance to live. If nobody wants to kill him. Before those jokers get back, we better have something figured out. There's too much talking. Uh-oh. Gonna have trouble with Hans now.  Well, this guy is a good 15 feet away from us. Now, better make it 20. If we rush, he can bag us all three. Won't chalk that one off. I said there's too much talking. You. You will sit on that bench. See it? I don't know. We might as well sit down. Yeah. Only to ease the dear boy's blood pressure. Ouch! What's the matter, Bob? Why did you scream? Oh, nothing, Hans, really. Nothing. Then be silent. What was it, Bob? The one chance and a million we got. Yeah? What can I use? How can I keep him from seeing me, Teddy? Teddy, get down on the floor I can't miss you helping. Hey, you. What are you talking about? What? Talking? Is anybody talking? I guess as much as you can. You! Where are you going? Nowhere. I just have to dress as wound. Give me a hand, miss. Guess the such I'm doing. It beats me. Sit closer to me, Jack. Yeah, that's it. Now, without Hans seeing you, give me a shoelace. Somehow we got to get yours, mine, Teddy's. That won't be enough. I'll need Heinrich's too. What for? Teddy, you're not blocking of you.  That's it. What are you going to do with the laces? I'm going to make a line. A fishing line. I've got the plug in my pocket. I just sat on it. Now, sure enough, Hans' blood pressure's going up again. Silence! The chief and his boy will be back any time. What's your angle, Bob? You just hit it, Teddy. We're going angling, huh? You get enough from all the shoelaces, Bob? Looks like 20 feet to me. Yeah, but what are you talking about? My old man's fishing plug. I put it in my pocket. So if I can attach it to the end of this line, I mean out of everybody's shoelaces, and if I can throw it at Hans without his body being... Oh, you're crazy. As if I can hit his gunhand with it and we can rush him. How? How? You'll see what you're doing. I've got a way to get him to take his eyes off us for a couple of seconds. Well, I have to hit him in the hand and pull. You can get to him, can't you, Jack? You make the cast. I'll get to him. This is the last time. I will shoot the next one who talks.  Now, uh, just watch me. Hey, uh, uh, uh, Hans. Sit. Look, I, uh, I have to get some water for Heinrich. Heinrich can wait. He's badly hurt, you know that. Look, he needs water. He might die. That is no affair of mine. What do you mean it's no affair of yours? Your mission was to bring him back, was it? I said sit. Now look, you, I'm a medic. My patient needs water. I am going to get him water. Give me any more lip and I'll take that pistol and jam it down your throat.  Look, look, there's a sink just across the room. You can even watch me. My orders are no oneness to move. I shall count three. If you are not seated, I shall shoot. One, two... Ah, no, no, now, Hans, listen to me, huh? Before you shoot, figure it out.  Go ahead, ask yourself. Do they? Now, if they did, you could have just killed him and gone home. But no, they want him alive and he won't live without water, Hans. I... I am not concerned with that.   If Heinrich dies, what does it mean, huh? It means you failed in your mission. And what does your government do to guys who fail? Do they ask why? Do they care? All they know is you failed. Now, Hans, are you going to get all jammed up because of a little glass of water? Don't be crazy. See what he's doing. You see, Hans, I'm just going to the sink. See, then I just fill this little cup of water, see? Yeah, yeah, I see. But, uh, get away from the window. The window? Oh, sure. The window. Okay, Hans, you're through. There are police outside. Look. Now, Jack. My hand! Hey, come on. Pull on the line. His shot hit the floor. Yeah, let me hit your hand. Good gas, Bob. Best I ever made. Now, let me see if he's got another clip in his pocket. Yeah, he has. Shape up, you guys. A truck just pull up outside and two old friends are coming in. All right, Teddy, take one side of the door. I'll take the other. Jack, help out if you have to. All right. Hans, let us go quickly. Hans! Hans is ill, will we do? Oh! Very tidy, Teddy. What do you say? We get everybody tied up into the truck. We, uh, better not take a chance with Heinrich. Hey, innkeeper, is there a doctor around here? Yeah, yeah. I will go call him and the police also. He has a telephone. It will be all right now, will it not? Yeah, I think so. Well, I feel in chief. See if he's got any papers on him and check him and his buddy for weapons. He must be a big wheel, this guy. I'll just take these guns, fellas. Hey, you want receipts? Come around and pick them up again when you get out of jail, if you ever do. His name is Olenko. He's a captain and a secret police. And I'm sure Olenko and our intelligence will have a lot to talk about. What's the matter, Olenko? You look mad. Hans! Hans! How did it happen?  You did not watch them! Oh, leave poor Hans alone. He's just a poor fish.  Just look at what we caught. Uh, you know, I, uh, I must write my papa a letter tonight and tell him about his plug.  You use this plug, he said, and, uh, uh, big ones will never get away. The word opportunity is described in the dictionary as a convenient chance, a favorable opening as in business.
