The formidable Colonel Flagg breaks his arm in a helicopter crash and is taken to the 4077th. He refuses morphine for pain and confesses to Blake that he's a C.I.A. agent and swears him to secrecy.

Martinez. Soon, both he and Pratt are snooping after Frank. Hawkeye and Trapper doctor Frank's file so one thinks Frank is a communist and the other thinks he's a fascist.
