Torn Curtain Page #3

No. It just wouldn't work.

Well, that's that then.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Well, it's definitely established.

Fifteen suitcases gone astray.

They could be anywhere.

I have an open ticket.

When's the next flight for New York?

I've known them to turn up

in Helsinki on that particular line.

Let's see what the day brings.

The Pan-Am flight left at noon, miss.

There is an SAS flight at 16:45.

Get me a seat on that.

I want to leave as soon as possible.

There's passenger Williamson's golf clubs.

We haven't seen those since Manchester.

What time does Armstrong's

flight leave for Stockholm?

Armstrong?

You gave him a ticket this morning.

Aren't golf clubs classified as hand luggage?

Not since the Warsaw Convention.

There we are. Armstrong. A single ticket.

It's not for Stockholm, miss.

It's the 16:
30 flight,

Romanian Airlines, East Berlin.

East Berlin?

But that's behind the Iron Curtain.

Yes, miss.

Young lady.

Excuse me.

What in hell's name are you doing here?

- Hello, Michael.

- Listen to me.

Now you stay away from me.

Don't talk to me.

When this plane lands,

you take the next one out!

Anywhere! Go home!

Do you understand?

- Wo ist Armstrong?

- Dort.

Professor Armstrong,

we will wait until the other

passengers are off the plane.

I thought she didn't know.

She doesn't know. She can't know.

She just followed me.

- Apparently.

- We can go now.

Hey, lady, step aside.

Hold it.

If you will pardon me,

I must introduce him to our vice minister.

Shall we go, please?

The vice minister wishes to welcome

to the German Democratic Republic,

a distinguished American nuclear scientist,

Professor Michael Armstrong.

Professor Armstrong has decided

to live and work for peace

in the Peoples' Democracies.

But can't I talk to him at all?

It is not advisable at present.

Do you have a visa, Miss Sherman?

Oh, they said I could

get one here for 24 hours.

I have told them you are here.

Let's see what can be done.

Gentlemen, there will be a press

conference later. Be patient.

Danke. This way.

- Professor.

- Hello.

You have survived our welcoming ceremony?

More or less.

Now we can relax.

Heinrich Gerard, state security.

Yes, the infamous state security.

I beg your pardon?

Excuse me. Sit down, please.

- No, thank you.

- Oh?

Cuban.

Your loss, our gain.

Well, Professor, did you have a good trip?

Oh, so-so.

Uh, this is Mr Gromek.

He will be your personal guide.

- Hello.

- Anything you need?

I lived many years in United States.

If he gives you any trouble, come to me.

I lived on 88th Street in New York.

Oh, good.

Well, here we are.

I hear you...

you brought a little excess baggage.
