German consulate within a few minutes.

It's written on bank stationery.

It reads, "dear sirs,

I am only a clerk in this bank,

"but I'm a true friend

of Germany

"You ought to know that a certain

Ann Dawson, presumably friendly to us,

has recently deposited with us

the sum of 5,000 American dollars."

Oh, that's ridiculous.

"She was accompanied to

the bank by a tall American,

"whom I have never seen before.

"It was he

who paid over the money.

Signed, a watchful friend."

But I-

uh-uh. There's a postscript.

"Mrs. Dawson and that tall American

seemed very fond of each other."

But I don't understand.

What does all this mean,

and why should the German

consulate be interested in me?

I'm in Switzerland

because of my husband.

He's in the air force. He was

shot down, and he's interned here.

I'm an American

Technically, yes.

You were born in America

You were raised there.

But in 1935, you joined the German-America

Bunde under the name of Hilda Winters.

In 1937, you were arrested for organizing

anti-semitic and anti-negro riots.

In 1939, you were in the Columbia

house, Berlin, working for the Gestapo

Since 1940, you've been

operating in Switzerland

Yes, you're an American all right, but

it makes my stomach crawl to admit it.

You lying pig!

Do you think the Gestapo will

believe a clumsy frame-up like this?

I think they will.

We'll find out soon enough.

It's now 7:
28. I'll be

getting a phone call at 7:30.

If you haven't told me what I want to

know by then, the letter will be delivered.

Why, they'll laugh at it.

I rather think

they'll do some checking.

A woman who looks like you

was in the bank with me today.

Her signature

was an exact duplicate of yours.

Look.

They must have been worried

about you from time to time.

Once a German, always a German

It may apply

to Americans too.

They know I wouldn't betray them.

They know how loyal I've been.

Until an American agent went to

work on you. Offered you money.

And at the same time, rekindled that

faint spark of patriotism deep down inside.

You know, if it ever gets out why they

shot you, you may end up as a heroine.

All I want to know is

where is Katerin Lodor?

If you tell me,

the letter will be destroyed.

Andrew! Please believe me,

I don't know where she is.

Send it.

- Wait!

- Hang on.

She's at

the Edelweiss ski club.

Up the mountain road...

from the village of Mouat.

It's closed now.

How is it?

Everything in order.

One guard in the library.

The other upstairs asleep.

Nurse asleep.

Lodor's room door.

Get started, Eric.

Take your post

when we go in.

The nurse! Get her.

Let me go!

Well, that's that.

In the whole world there were perhaps
