Three Days Of The Condor Page #4

---

- It requires planning, communication,

tracks.

I'm not asking for footprints

but a blade of grass,

a broken twig...

Yes, sir. Wicks seems to be

all we've got. - Where do we have him?

We don't.

They rushed him to emergency

before we got word.

Maybe we should leak the name of the

hospital. Get Condor to make a move.

Don't expect

too many mistakes from this man.

He does seem rather more interesting

than just another reader researcher.

Example:
Has he gone into business

for himself? Was he turned around?

Does someone operate him?

Sexual? Broke?

Vulnerable?

Could he be a soldier of fortune?

Did he arrange the hit?

Is that why he's still in flight?

Still, he may be an innocent.

But then, why didn't he

come in gently, with Mr Wicks?

"Tentrex Industries". - It's a cover.

I work for the CIA.

Jesus, your assignment for today

was to go out and kidnap a girl.

Look it up. "Tentrex Industries".

And look up the number for the CIA in

New York. - You mean it's listed?

Under US Government Agencies.

Is this what you do?

This photography?

It's the same number. You could have

had the card made. - But I didn't.

You really get into it, don't you?

- Sit down!

I told you I had a friend.

I take 15,5/34. What size are you?

- What are you, a clown?

I'm scared! - So am I! - What for?

You've got a gun! - Yes!

That is not enough.

I work for the CIA,

I'm not a spy.

I just read books.

We read everything

that's published in the world.

And we feed the plots,

dirty tricks, codes

into a computer and the computer

checks against

actual CIA plans and operations.

I look for leaks,

I look for new ideas.

We read adventures

and novels and journals...

Who'd invent a job like that?

Listen!

People are trying to kill me! - Who?

- I don't know, but there's a reason.

There is a reason!

And I just need some safe quiet time

to pull things together.

Here?

- Here.

It's only fair...

Where's the guy with the shirts?

- He's skiing in the Green Mountains.

We want to go cross-country skiing

for a couple of weeks.

Away from everything.

What time's the news go on? Six?

- Six o'clock. - 40 Minutes.

No, please...

Lie down against the wall.

Put this arm behind you.

Now you listen to me:

I am tired.

I've got to close my eyes for a while.

I can't think straight.

If you try to move

or climb off the bed,

I'll know it. I'll feel it,

and I promise I'll hurt you.

Can't I stay in the other room?

I believe what you told me.

No, you don't.

I don't know if I do.

That includes Condor, of course.

Yes, I owe you Condor.

Otherwise...

- "Otherwise" does not exist.

Will Condor take long?

- Do you want an estimate?

There is a time factor.
