- Any luck?

- They assemble the detonators

in the exploder room.

- Yeah?

- But you can't get near it.

- We gotta be back tomorrow morning.

- Here's the angle.

- They take the detonators to the

torpedo shed where they install them.

- Is that restricted too?

When they change shifts,

they leave everything.

The whistle goes, they walk out.

Before the next shift gets in,

the detonators are left lying around.

- That's when to get the pictures.

- Right.

I'll head for the torpedo shed.

You tail me.

- But get the pictures. That's

the important thing. I'll cover you.

- Right.

- What are you doing in here?

- I work here.

You're not supposed

to be in here.

- I didn't know.

- Didn't know you're not

supposed to smoke here?

- I wasn't smoking.

- What are you doing with matches?

- Nothing. I was just...

- Gimme those matches.

- I wasn't smoking!

- Why don't you do like I told you...

- What's the matter?

- This fellow was gonna smoke.

This is a restricted section.

I'm his security officer.

My credentials.

Had my eye on this guy all day.

Your number is six, huh?

Let me call for ya.

I'm gonna take him

for questioning.

Gimme those matches.

[Indistinct]

- Hope I didn't hurt you.

- Hurt me? You saved me

from blowing the problem.

This is a... a badge of honor.

- Where did you get that card?

- In the special service section.

I didn't tell you.

- Bill, we made it.

- Hope so.

Have you found the German agent?

Yes. O'Connell.

He stands at the head ofhis class.

That was the lead.

And the report on

the final problem clinched it.

- Have you read it?

- Yes.

I checked the results

of the other groups on the problem.

- It was designed for them

to make mistakes.

- O'Connell didn't make any.

Thanks to quick thinking... too

quick for a beginner. O'Connell

has been through it all before.

This is a manual from the German

espionage school. Very good too.

"Es gibt keine Kameraden.

"Greift selbst den Kameraden an.

Verdachtigt ihn.

Vernichtet ihn wenn notig."

"There are no comrades.

Turn in a comrade, accuse him,

even destroy him if necessary."

Well, there it is.

That was the technique he used.

American kids would have slugged

the guard and fought together.

- Would you say he was good?

- Only one thing the matter...

he's on the wrong side.

- His name is Kuncel. Abwehr Five.

One of their best.

- K-U-N-Z-E-L?

- C-E-L.

- C-E-L.

- When do you want to pick him up?

- Kuncel's going with

the group to London.

He must never know

that he's suspected.

That's why no one has been told.

- It's going to be

more difficult for you.
