The Fourth Protocol Page #5

Where's your pass?

Did you forget something?

What's in your bag?

Gold fillings.

Lily white hands.

Soft palms.

So what we've got is a 'deckhand' from

a Russian trawler who looks like

he's never handled anything harder

than a bar of soap coming out

of Glasgow docks at two a.m.

In the morning.

No forged papers?

Nothing unusual at all.

I think we better have another look

at these effects.

It's polonium.

What'a polonium?

Well combined with lithium

the two together form an initiator.

That's that's a detonator. For a bomb.

A bomb?

An atomic bomb.

Pull over, Gregoriev.

Yes sir.

I understand you have been driving

comrade Colonel Philby lately.

Yes, comrade general. Up till christmas

Where have you been driving him?

Gergoriev, do you know who I am?

So tell me, where did you drive him?

Comrade General,

I've been forbidden to...

Gregoriev, you have a wife

and two children.

Do you think they will like you driving

an open jeep in Afghanistan?

So where did you drive Colonel Philby?

Comrade Professor Krilov?

Yes?

My name is General Karpov.

May I have a word?

Come in.

Professor Krilov...

In the interests of the State

I want you to tell me the plan

that you and Philby have

been discussing with Govorshin.

What authority have you got for this?

My authority is my rank and my service.

If you have no singed authority

from the Comrade General Chairman

you hve no authority at all.

In fact I might draw his attention

to your line of questioning.

That might not be a very good idea.

Did you know that Philby

has already gone missing?

What do you mean "gone missing"?

Disappeared.

The rumour is that he is dead.

Shot.

On Govorshin's orders.

Well, that is not my concern.

Then man is reckless and weak.

No doubt he has overstepped the mark.

That mark is easily overstepped.

You have a son for instance.

But this can't be.

You know, we do not tolerate

these "golden boys".

Five years in a labour camp

not everyone survives that endure

it the beatings the sodomy...

I regard this report

this report as alarmist,

irresponsible and supported

by insufficient evidence.

Evidence? Can't you read!?!

That metal disc can only be used

as part of a trigger for an ATOM BOMB.

That remains to be seen.

Don't think I don't know

what's going on, Preston.

You're trying to worm your way back

into favour by dreaming

up some far fetched drama

of which you yourself,

naturally, are the hero.

And and you're kicking out anybody

who doesn't make themselves available

to kiss your arse!

But if you were to look at

this thing straight just for a moment,

you might see that

there's something going on out there!

It is my prerogative, as head
