one after the other...

...untiI the Americans know it is us

and retaliate?

I have no answer for that.

come in.

Your tea, sir.

- Shall I pour, sir?

- Thank you, comrade...

- ... we'll pour our own.

- Very good, sir.

You must learn each of the American

cover names written down there.

Each of their Russian names.

Each of their communities.

Each of their telephone numbers.

Each of their targets.

And of course, the trigger phrase.

That's written on the flyIeaf.

Nothing in there must be written down,

only transferred to your memory.

You, in effect, Grigori,

become the third book.

Now, take Peters, for example,

the last agent triggered.

"Akron, ohio. Mark Peters. Anton Tokov.

216-788-8837.

Munitions storage depot.

Apalachicola, Florida.

carI Hassler. "

SANDBURG:
It's hard to believe, isn't it?

- Yes, sir. It is hard to believe, but-

SANDBURG:

In.

- Yes, sir?

- Ah, Putterman.

As our resident Muscovite analyst,

how would you like a challenge...

...this evening in the category

of Russian bric-a-brac?

we only grow by challenge, sir.

The pearI is the result of friction.

- The butterfly is the result of-

- This piece of memorabilia.

Putterman, please.

PUTTERMAN:
where did this surface?

- Apalachicola. It's part of the Hassler debris.

- That's very curious.

- we know that, Putterman. we know that.

we just want your confirmation

as to what the damn thing is, huh?

oh, it's an No9.

The timing mechanism makes

the identification positive beyond question.

This particular timing device

was designated an No9...

...at a 1958 NATo meeting

of the counter-espionage agencies.

The No reflects the weapon's production

at a plant in Noginsk.

The nine indicates there were eight

previous models.

Thank you, Putterman,

for the refresher course. Thank you.

- well, you were right. It is an No9.

- well, yes, sir.

I thought it was when we had-

PUTTERMAN:

we haven't seen an No9 since '66.

Even the Vietcong stopped using them

in September of that year.

Get a report out on this

to A2 at the Pentagon.

Let's see what the big brains can do

with a simple question, huh?

Like how and why pieces of No9s were

found in the fueI tanks of Hassler's chopper.

Maybe the Vietcong have landed

in Apalachicola.

SANDBURG:

Jesus, I hope so. They can have it.

well, it's evident that

someone has landed.

Three military installations attacked

within days.

Three saboteurs using names

of men who passed away years ago.

The probability factor of their being

anything except Sov-bloc agents is 33 to 1.

Dotty Putterman, I love you.

You know, I am probably the agency's

foremost fan...

...of your virtuosity with the computers.
