The Fourth Protocol Page #2

Bye.

Bye.

Chummy's gone to ground.

Pizzeria on Fillimore Walk.

It's a long way to go for a pizza.

I think we'll join him.

Do you think Jimmy's overdoing

it a little?

Gloria doesn't seem to be objecting.

Well done, Charlie.

Alright.

Here we go.

Don't you like your pizza, Mr Berenson?

No we don't go...

It's a drop.

So what do we do about Berenson?

Better give him the first team.

Oh, sh*t!

What?

Take away pizzas in boxes!

William...

The girl with the pizzas.

The Manager again.

Who gets special service?

He does.

We'll take this one.

Hello, Angela.

Nigel Irvine.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, of course.

How silly of me.

Were we expecting you?

Not exactly.

Do you mind if we come in?

No. Please do.

Is George in?

Yes, of course.

Darling!

In North Wales, severe blizzards...

Hello, George.

Nigel.

How nice.

I wonder if we might have a quiet word?

Yes, of course.

Do sit down.

Quiet New Year's holiday?

Not missing something, are you?

What do you want, Nigel?

I thought you might

be missing something.

Like this.

These are yours, I believe.

But these beyond a doubt...

Never were.

I don't suppose there's much I can say,

is there?

I don't know.

Try me.

Alright.

Well for years now I have taken

the attitude that there

was only one struggle

on this planet worth a damn

the fight against world communism.

And it has long seemed to me ridiculous

that the most committed anti communists

in the southern hemisphere

the South Africans should be excluded

from NATO planning because

of some unfashionable

domestic attitudes.

So was this your idea?

Or did someone approach you?

I met someone at a party.

Or did he meet you?

Jan Marais...

It seems our Secret Service

is up to scratch.

Just what exactly

have you been passing him?

It would be awfully helpful to know.

I gave him any relevant documents

to NATO taht crossed my desk.

NATO?

Mmm-huh.

Well,

I hope they didn't pay you in cash,

Berenson the Rand's taken a bit

of a dive lately.

I didn't do it for money.

I did it because I believed

it was right!

A man of principle to the last.

You can bloody well sneer,

Irvine but perhaps I'm rather more

of a patriot than you are.

You may be interested in this.

It's an extract from the debriefing

of a recent Soviet defector

which pinpoints a Soviet agent

in the South African Foreign Service.

And this is a summation of the South

African internal investigation

which identifies the man

as one Jan Marais.

What have I done?

You've betrayed your country.

You've passed untold numbers

of secrets to Moscow...

And endangered the lives of British men

and women and I'd say,

you've weakened NATO

perhaps irretrievably.
