has indicted the known Party heads,

who are merely window-dressing, anyway.

But you knew that.

Of course I knew.

I'm not referring to anything so obvious.

But what would cause

the House of Representatives Committee

to send another team of investigators here

so soon after the last investigation?

I'm sure I don't know.

And not one that is just

an open fact-fishing expedition.

No, no. This one is important,

because, for once,

it is adequately financed, unfortunately.

What are they looking for?

I can't imagine.

We must find out.

What of a Party functionary

called Nomaka?

He has just been relieved

as local Party treasurer.

I had a report that he was talking

in a strange manner.

Well, he's a sick man,

severe nervous trauma.

Get rid of him.

He's not dangerous. I'm treating him.

I can assure you

I have his psychic dependency.

I can control the man.

Get rid of him.

Have him confined in an asylum.

Give him an overdose of something.

Don't bother me with the details,

but get rid of him.

I'll attend to it first thing tomorrow.

Why not today?

Very well.

- Hello?

- NancY, this is Dr. Gelster.

Would You please look up

Nomaka 's home address?

Yes, of course, Doctor.

- It's 477 Front Street.

- Thank You.

Good-bye, Doctor.

As I was telling you before,

nearly every union in the Islands

is represented here,

and we'll all be glad to cooperate.

I'm sure your investigation

will be a success.

Thank you.

That's all, men.

Top labor leader Max VentabY,

former Communist.

Got hep to them after 10 Years.

Started fighting back.

IncidentallY, that's how he got

that broken nose. Fighting Commies.

The weekdaYs were real dull,

but not the weekends.

I want to ask you something.

Ask.

Why me?

You'll have to explain that.

Special job like you,

no guys hanging around.

A few have tried.

I don't go out with men, I...

Fine remark. I thought I qualified.

You're different.

Nobody noticed that before.

You remind me of a tall, ugly fellow

that didn't make it back to his carrier

after a raid on Saipan.

I'm sorry, Nancy.

That you remind me? I'm not.

For a long, long time,

I thought I'd never want my heart

to get that tangled with any man again.

It hurts too much.

I've changed my mind.

I'm too old to believe in miracles.

I never thought it could happen

to anyone twice.

And it did.

I wonder if it's chemistry

that makes two people understand

each other without a word being said.

Stop going to those lectures.

Don't try to analyze it.

- Okay.

- Just let it be.

- One thing, Jim.

- Yes?

Do you want to tell me

why you lied to me?

Of course, they told me
