01x27 - The Defector: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[instrumental music]

- Well, any sign of her? - Nah.

You're certain she's not got back into the building?

Positive, I was hoping that you would pick up her trail.

Uh, th-there was a switch made.

And very nicely managed.

We followed the wrong taxi, the wrong woman.

Well, nothing's to be done.

She's gotten away, right, Resko?

I followed her into the elevator

but she made another switch.

The operator would not hold doors for me.

By the time we got down on the ground level

she was gone.

[instrumental music]

- That operator? - No, another.

He's gone home, off duty.

- Kessler, I-- - Dime, please.

[music continues]

[telephone ringing]

Yes?

Excellency?

No, Ambassador Korvin is not here.

Who's speaking, please?

- Kessler. - Kessler.

This is Yustov.

Do you have a report on Mrs. Holman?

[Kessler] 'Only that she has gotten away from us.'

- What? - I am sorry.

You are sorry?

You ought to be shot.

She was going to try and contact her husband.

[scoffs] Her husband is dead.

No, he's hiding.

He may be preparing to defect to the Americans.

He was to call his wife

at the public phone booth across the corner

from Perry and Grand at 10 o'clock.

It's probably too late but get someone out there anyway.

[exhales] Why didn't you tell us

about this phone booth, Yustov?

Because I was supposed to be there myself.

Unfortunately, the FBI had to ask me some questions.

I don't like these secrets, Yustov.

I mean, either you are on our side or you are not.

Or are you on the side of the one who pays you the most?

You know, Kessler..

...I would hold my tongue if I were you.

If it grows too insulting

someone might be tempted to cut it out for you.

Really, Yustov?

Now, stop arguing

and get someone out there right away.

I want to talk to Mrs. Holman before the FBI does.

[sighs] Yustov. Yustov. Yustov.

Tonight's Episode..

"The Defector, Part II."

[instrumental music]

[man on radio] 'So far as the United Nations is concerned.'

'Now, on the local scene'

'investigation continues into the causes of the fire'

'that destroyed Alley's Club last Tuesday night.'

'Although Arson and FBI officials'

'have refused all comment.'

'Rumor remains strong today'

'that the blaze was set as an act of deliberate m*rder.'

'The political assassination of red chess champion'

'Dr. Gregory Holman.'

[telephone buzzing] Yes?

[female #1] 'Ambassador Korvin is here, sir.'

Have him come in, please.

Claude, my dear fellow.

- How good to see you again. - You too, Excellency.

I expected your head

would be swelled to twice its size

after all these praises have been heaped on it.

[laughing]

You know, it may turn out to be

the Antwerp summit meeting

to the history books.

'But to those of us who realize'

'how hard you worked to organize it'

it's already The Townsend Conference.

[chuckles]

And I think that this could..

...truly and finally mean peace in our time.

Let's pray that it does, Excellency.

Claude..

...we have known each other for so many years.

Can we speak frankly just this once?

As friends rather than diplomats.

Sir..

...what is it you want exactly?

"Exactly?"

Two things, exactly.

A more discreet investigation of the fire

and your absolute assurance to me that

Holman is really dead.

"Really dead?"

[Korvin] 'I have heard, as a matter of fact'

'that the body in the morgue is not his.'

That he has changed places with someone

before the fire started. That he's in hiding.

And his wife knows where his hiding place is.

- Excellency, this-- - It is a simple enough matter.

If you should find Holman alive

you turn him over to my embassy at once, of course.

Otherwise, and I can't imagine anything worse..

I am to advise you officially

that my government will deem itself too insulted

to attend the conference in Antwerp.

Sir..

[Korvin] 'Think it over, Claude.'

Which is more important?

This defector..

...or this civilization?

[instrumental music]

[Claude] 'So, that's it.'

'At least the threat is out in the open.'

If you fail to locate Holman within the next three days..

...the American delegation would be going to Antwerp

as blind as new-born kittens

so far as knowing what the Prime Minister wants

or needs or fears.

On the other hand, if you do find Holman

and he cracks our codes for us

Korvin's government won't even show up at the conference.

Well, what do we do?

Sizzle in the frying pan or perish in the fire?

Mr. Townsend..

...when the ambassador spoke of Holman's being alive..

...did he seem to believe what he was saying

or was he just trying to get a reaction from you?

Testing me, you mean?

He could've been now that I think of it.

Yustov's probably selling information to both sides.

- "Yustov?" - 'The European Chess Champion.'

'He's over here for the tournament.'

Holman had a feeling he was gonna be assassinated

so, he asked Yustov to help him disappear.

Well, if he trusted the man that much, uh--

He didn't trust him well enough to tell him where he was going.

Holman only agreed to an arrangement

whereby Yustov could contact him

in an emergency, but..

That's the information he sold us.

How to make the contact.

He wanted to talk to Holman himself

but we couldn't trust him either so..

...Mrs. Holman went along instead.

Well, but wouldn't they be scouring the town for her?

If she's seen Holman, why..

...they'll wanna talk to him before we do.

If she's seen Holman.

Shouldn't she have contacted you by now?

Yeah. Any moment.

Unless they've already picked her up.

[indistinct chatter]

Taxi, ma'am?

No, I don't want a cab, thank you, I..

Don't I know you? I've seen..

[instrumental music]

Help me!

- Drive. Just drive, please. - Oh, I'm sorry, lady.

- I'm off duty. - Oh.

[music continues]

Look.

Yes, ma'am.

[instrumental music]

Listen, it's my husband following us

and he's got a g*n.

He's very jealous and he might k*ll me.

He, he might k*ll you too

if we don't get away from here.

Hang on, lady.

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[train honking]

[tires screeching]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Hello, FBI?

Inspector Erskine, please. Quickly.

[telephone buzzing]

- Erskine. - 'This is Barbara Holman.'

- 'Um, Mr. Erskine?' - Yes, Mrs. Holman.

'I've seen him. He's alive.'

'I've talked to him.'

- Were you followed? - 'Well, not there.'

'But I did do something foolish.'

'I went back to the Perry Street booth'

'and one of Korvin's men was waiting, a cab driver.'

- Where are you now? - 'But I got another cab.'

And we got away from him.

I'm on, uh..

I'm on Bush Street.

Is your taxi still outside?

[Barbara] 'Yes.'

Alright, have him take you to the morgue.

- I'll meet you there. - Well, I..

Mrs. Holman, I'm going to ask you

to play an extremely difficult role.

We want Korvin and Yustov

to think that your husband is dead.

That you weren't able to contact him.

- You think you can do it? - Well, I could try.

Good, I'll meet you in half an hour.

Alright. Yes.

You're taking a big risk, Lewis.

That woman is not a professional actress.

It's the time for risks, Arthur.

Meaning what?

Meaning we keep Holman hidden while he breaks their codes.

At the same time convince Korvin beyond any doubt

that he's dead.

You think you can do all that?

I think we have to do all that.

[instrumental music]

Where?

Alright, I'll come down.

Yes.

She's at the morgue.

I took the liberty of putting men

at half a dozen places

where I thought she might head for.

Was that man near enough to see her face?

- She was crying. - Hm.

Then the contact failed.

Well, if she evidently thinks now

that it's her husband's body that they are holding.

Or she evidently wants us to think so.

Hm, no, no, no, Alex.

I know Barbara for a long time.

She's not clever enough to plot something like that.

Holman is dead.

It was a ghastly and stupid way to k*ll a man, Kessler

but, it seems to have been very successful.

It wasn't successful.

Your Excellency, I've told you.

The man is alive.

I told you, he asked me to help him

on the night he disappeared.

He never went to that nightclub.

'Someone took his place with the briefcase'

'and the b*mb.'

You promised me $5000 to prove it.

Then do so.

Don't just mouth accusations like a parrot.

I think you are deluding yourself, Yustov.

You want to believe Holman's alive

so, you can collect your pay.

Or could it be, Your Excellency

that you want to believe Holman is dead

so that no codes will be broken

no conferences scuttled?

With your permission, sir, I would like to speak

to Mrs. Holman personally.

As you say if she's simply isn't clever enough

to carry on a masquerade very much longer.

She'll make a mistake

sooner or later.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

He said what?

Mr. Erskine, I begged him to turn himself into you

but he's afraid.

Of what?

Of Yustov.

Of a man named Kessler.

And of what might happen to the children.

Mrs. Holman, doesn't your husband realize

the importance of this?

Well, what would happen?

They're still in Europe at our house

and all the Prime Minister would have to do

is to pick up the telephone.

I wanted him to help but he's afraid.

So, that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned.

He's alive.

That's all that matters to me.

Inspector?

There's a man named Yustov in the waiting room.

He says he's come to escort Mrs. Holman back to her hotel.

- Oh-- - It'll be alright.

Remember, you'll be crying.

You found out once and for all that your husband is dead.

You're exhausted, you're in a state of shock.

And don't tell him anything.

Oh, Gary, get me Jim Rhodes of the Bureau, will you?

- He's in Cryptanalysis. - Yes.

Madame?

Well, madame, what is it?

[sobbing]

Dr. Holman's dead.

There's no longer any question of it.

That's horrible.

Well, we'll claim the body this afternoon.

We'll hold a private service

at say um, 4 o'clock?

Unless you have some objection.

No objection at all.

Madame, if you please.

Rhodes.

I may have to box you in, Gary.

I'll need an identification on the body by this afternoon.

- Do you think you can make it? - We're running a lead down now.

We found a part of an orthopedic shoe

and we think it might have been his.

The maker generally keeps a plastic cast on tap

for reorders so we're checking out

every firm doing that kinda work.

I'll go speed him up.

- Jim? - 'Yeah.'

Any luck breaking the code?

Uh, nothing yet.

Seems to be based on a quotation from their literature.

Uh, a proverb of some kind.

I don't know, must be a million of them.

Without Holman's help it'll take weeks.

Any luck there?

No, we'll have to make our own luck.

How about the cab Holman was supposed

to have taken that night?

Uh, 40108.

And the driver's still under surveillance.

He hasn't been back to work ever since as a matter of fact.

His cab's in the garage.

- Broken axle. - Alright, I'll meet you there.

And ask the driver to come in for an interview.

And pick up his fare slips for that night.

What about the prints in the cab?

- None were Holman's. - Did you try the floor?

- No, sir. - 'Then try it.'

Yes, sir.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

No-no-no. Please. No, no comment, please.

Please, out of the way. Out of the way, please.

No comment, sorry.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Holman

I thought you'd gone, I..

Yes, well, uh, we just get out.

Would you, please?

- Yes, sir. - Thank you.

[snapping fingers]

Thank you.

[cart clattering]

[door closes]

[Barbara sighs]

Oh, you poor thing.

Well, it'll soon be over now.

'You'll be going back to Europe.'

'With your children..'

...your friends..

...your husband.

[chuckles]

Madame..

I don't know whether Gregory mentioned it to you or not.

But the fact is..

he told me he was going to disappear.

'I know he wasn't in that nightclub fire.'

Well, then he must've lied to you.

Because I know he's dead.

Let me see if I can guess..

...what your husband said

when he talked to you this morning.

He said his prime reason for staying hidden

was to protect the children.

Shall we make a bargain, madame?

My husband is dead.

Now, please, stop torturing me.

If you tell me where Gregory is

and if Gregory agrees to leave quietly for Europe.

I can guarantee his safety, yours and the children.

'There'll be no recriminations, no tirades.'

And the grotesque monster who attempted to k*ll him

will be shot at once.

Get out of here.

- Get out of here. - But, madame.

- Don't you see-- - You get out of here!

Get out of here! Get out of here!

[instrumental music]

[door closes]

[instrumental music]

Okay, photograph and lift them.

Are they Holman's?

Alright, Mr. Walsh

you mind coming along with us now?

We'd like to ask you a few more questions.

Hey, l-listen, I've, I've never been in any trouble before.

Y-y-you've made a mistake.

Do you still maintain you only took one man

from the Chamberlain Hotel to the nightclub?

One. Yes, uh, a Holman.

I identified his picture for you.

What was he doing on the floor, Mr. Walsh?

He wasn't on the floor.

He couldn't have been hiding, could he?

F-from-from what?

Or maybe he thought he was being followed?

Maybe he hired a man to dress

like him and sit in the backseat.

- And get out at the night club? - Look, M-mister--

[Lewis] 'Your odometer's checked every night, isn't it, Mr. Walsh?'

Your fare slips show pick up points

'destination?'

Suppose we retraced your route up to the time

he left the nightclub

'and suppose we subtracted those miles'

'from the final reading.'

Or you can save us a lot of trouble.

Where'd you take him?

[sighs]

Okay.

[sighs] It was, uh..

...corner of 6th Street and Satterly Road.

'He, uh..'

'He got a hold of me there that morning.'

And-and he gave me a $100.

And told me what to do.

But-but I didn't know that place was gonna be bombed.

Hi.

Lou?

Got a visitor.

Well, thanks, Mr. Walsh. That's all for now.

Were you able to get into the room?

Yes, sir.

Mrs. Holman gave me permission to enter.

And the manager provided me with the uniform.

I think I'm a better lab assistant

than a maid, Mr. Erskine.

But I did my best.

Did you spot anything?

Yes, sir, there are two bugs.

One under the pillow on the bed

one behind the sofa, left side of the room.

Take a look at the suite they reserved next door.

We have Mrs. Holman's permission to go in.

Right.

Thank you.

[Barbara on tape] 'My husband is dead.'

'Now, please, stop torturing me.'

[Yustov on tape] 'If you tell me where Gregory is'

'and if Gregory agrees to leave quietly for Europe.'

'I can guarantee his safety, yours and the children.'

'There'll be no recrimination, no tirades.'

'And the grotesque monster who attempted to k*ll him'

'will be shot at once.'

[Barbara on tape] 'Get out of here.'

- 'Get out of here!' - 'Madame, don't you see--'

[Barbara on tape] 'You get out of here! Get out of here!'

'Get out of here!'

You certainly have a way with women, Alex, haven't you?

This is a very difficult woman, Your Excellency.

But I think she'll be ready to talk guarantees with you

at the funeral.

She'd be a fool to believe your guarantees.

Yes.

She is a fool.

[Yustov on tape] 'I can guarantee his safety, yours and the children.'

'There'll be no recrimination, no tirades.'

'And the grotesque monster who attempted to k*ll him'

'will be shot at once.'

[Barbara on tape] 'Get out of here.'

'Get out of here.'

[instrumental music]

Yeah, he's usually in.

[chuckles] He's a funny one though.

He don't see very much.

'In the mornings, he generally..'

'goes out, he gets some groceries'

'and picks up a paper'

'or I, I don't know, he stops and may..'

I don't know what he does.

That's his room.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

I know he's in there.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

I wouldn't try it, doctor.

You'd never make it.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Thank you.

Well, I suppose I ought to be grateful

it was the FBI who found me and not Yustov.

How'd you do it? Follow Barbara?

No.

No?

You mean, that you did it on your own?

You waste very little time, Mr. Erskine.

There's very little time left.

The conference, hm?

Yes, Barbara told me.

- I wish I could help. - 'You can.'

Not as long as my children are in danger.

That didn't stop you from the thought of defecting before.

Weren't they in danger then?

I wasn't going to defect until later.

So...I intended to wait

until I could have my wife and my children with me.

But, when they brought Kessler into it

I knew there was no time left.

I had to run.

Then, when I saw by the headlines

as I was supposed to be dead.

I decided to take advantage of the mistake.

You see, I thought Barbara would go home.

And that somehow I..

...could get a message to her.

In six months or a year

she could leave Europe with the children

and I could turn myself into the FBI.

What was the name of the substitute you hired?

Andrei Szabo.

Poor soul. Uh..

I didn't know they meant to k*ll me that night.

Did he have a family here?

Neither here nor in Europe.

He was quite alone.

No one to mourn him but me.

And this Kessler was responsible for the fire?

I think so, yes.

Although I don't see how you're ever going

to be able to prove it.

[knock on door]

Inspector, can you speak to Gary Deuel now?

- Yeah, I'll be right down. - Thank you.

Doctor, we could bring the messages here

for you to decode?

We conduct everything in the strictest secrecy.

No.

[instrumental music]

Erskine.

Inspector, they're here to claim the body.

We know the man's name. Andrei Szabo.

But we're haven't been able to trace his family.

He was alone. Tell Korvin to go ahead.

DC authorities are cooperating with the burial.

Yes, sir.

Take him out to the hearse.

But you'll see the FBI isn't going

to release an unknown corpse to you.

Unless the corpse is Holman's.

But it isn't. Holman is alive. Holman..

Alright, sir, the hearse can accept the body

at the rear entrance.

Thank you.

Well, I expect I better pick up the bereaved widow.

I expect you had.

She's at the Episcopal church

down the street from the hotel.

Resko followed her there.

Thank you, Kessler.

Oh, you are quite welcome, Yustov.

We'll meet you at the funeral parlor.

Yes, Your Excellency.

[instrumental music]

We, uh, found a tape recorder in the second Holman suite.

A man named Kessler has a second key to it

but he's only there once in the morning

and again at night.

Apparently to pick up the tapes.

Automatic starter in the recorder, huh?

Yeah, it stops automatically

thirty seconds after the voices stop.

Mrs. Holman's at church right now.

I called her and asked her to lead her surveillance

away from the hotel.

Thought maybe you'd like to look around.

[instrumental music]

Testing, one, two, three, four. Testing.

[Jim on tape] 'Testing, one, two, three, four. Testing.'

- Clever, huh? - Wipe it off.

Uh, Mrs. Holman's key, please.

[phone ringing]

If that's for us. They'll hang up and ring again.

[phone ringing]

Rhodes.

Yustov and Mrs. Holman just entered the lobby.

And what about Korvin and Kessler?

Report just came in. They're at the funeral parlor.

Okay, thanks.

Yustov and Mrs. Holman are on their way up.

She won't let him in here.

Thank you.

If you don't mind I'm very tired.

I'd like to rest a little before we go.

I'll meet you in the lobby.

Madame, why won't you trust me?

Well, how on Earth can I make

you understand that I'm your friend?

Ah, Yustov.

[sighs]

What are you afraid of, Korvin? Kessler?

We're perfectly alone.

There's no one in here.

There's no one under the couch.

Why aren't you honest with me?

Admit the truth and you will see--

I have told you the truth. My husband is dead!

He's dead.

Alright, your husband is dead.

Very well, we'll go through with the burial

speeches, sadness, the whole charade.

Then right after the funeral you will be flown home

'and I will stay here to continue to search.'

Flown home, directly after the funeral?

Yes, well, the ambassador feels it'll be cruel

to keep you separated any longer from your children.

'There's a plane ready this afternoon.'

- But Yustov, I'm-- - 'Yes, madame. I know.'

You need time

to ask your husband's advice

'to make future plans'

'to find out whether I can be trusted or not.'

Isn't that so?

Well, I can give you time.

- How? - Very simply.

The ambassador has already asked my advice on the matter.

I could tell him that, um, after thinking it over.

You are too emotionally upset to travel.

'That the government should fly your children here.'

Well, is Gregory alive?

Yes.

[instrumental music]

Then we have a bargain.

I'll pick you up in the lobby in half an hour.

[instrumental music]

[Yustov on tape] 'Is Gregory alive?'

[Barbara on tape] 'Yes.'

[Yustov on tape] 'Then we have a bargain.'

'I'll pick you up in the lobby in half an hour.'

Wipe it clean.

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

Kessler.

You go by the hotel and settle the bill for the two rooms.

Then bring the last tape to the embassy.

[instrumental music]

Alright, get back to the embassy first.

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

I have a few matters to attend to

and then we go directly to the airport.

- Yustov.. - Yes, ma'am.

He said we would go to the airport.

Did he? Good.

You can hardly wait to see your little ones, can't you?

Do give them my love.

But, Yustov, I'm too upset to travel.

Why can't they be brought here?

Brought here?

Oh, no. That's absolutely out of the question.

They'll be problems of-of school

of passports, all sorts of red tape.

I'm surprised you even suggested it.

[instrumental music]

But he'll never allow the children to leave.

It's the strongest hold he has over me.

And you think he'll let Korvin go ahead

and send your wife home?

We could have her stopped at the airport

if she wants political asylum.

But that wouldn't solve the problem of the children!

As long as Yustov knows that I'm alive--

He still can't prove it.

You're sure you erased the tape?

Mm-hm.

Well, I thank you for that anyway.

It could turn out to be the most important move

of the whole chess game, you know.

If it discredits Yustov badly enough.

Korvin's got the patience of Job.

Except in the case of braggarts

who can never prove their claims.

[smirks]

What I'd give to see his face..

...when the tape is played?

[whirring]

Alright, that's enough.

No-no. Wait!

[whirring]

So..

You are trying to pay me back for all the imagined insults.

Or is it because you can't stand

to let the ambassador know you failed to k*ll your man?

- Yustov! - Your Excellency, he erased it!

Don't you see?

His crummy little mind

thought it would dream up something clever

to embarrass me.

You filthy, little animal!

Yustov!

Barbara, I am..

I don't know what to say.

I'm very ashamed of what Yustov has done.

Gregory is dead.

It was a terrible accident but we all have to carry on.

Excellency, can't we wait? Can't we wait a week?

- A week? - Dear, no-no-no.

You're tired. You can sleep on the airplane.

Kessler will be with you.

What about her luggage?

In the car, Excellency.

Yustov, you wait right here.

I talk to you later.

[Barbara on tape] 'My husband is dead. Now, please, stop torturing me.'

[Yustov on tape] 'If you tell me where Gregory is'

'and if Gregory agrees to leave quietly for Europe.'

'I can guarantee his safety, yours and the children.'

'There'll be no recriminations, no tirades.'

'And the grotesque monster who attempted to k*ll him'

'will be shot at once.'

[Barbara on tape] 'Get out of here.'

- 'Get out of here.' - 'Madame, don't you--'

[Barbara on tape] 'You get out of here! Get out of here!'

'Get out of here!'

[instrumental music]

What do you want?

Are you out of your mind? Put-put that thing away.

Kessler! I shall..

[screaming]

[instrumental music]

Excellency, uh, may I drive?

We're late. I know the way.

- If you like. - Thank you.

Please.

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]



They're headed your way, pick 'em up.

Right. 25, clear.

[instrumental music]

- '31 to control.' - Yes.

They just left the embassy probably for the airport.

- Is Yustov with them? - No.

[Erskine on radio] 'Well, stay there and keep an eye on the embassy.'

[female #2] 'Help!'

Something's happened. I'll be right back.

Someone, please! Quickly! Quickly!

Help, come.

Mr. Yustov.

Kessler..

I saw Kessler running out of Mr. Korvin's office

and then I see this.

[instrumental music]

- Lou? - Yes.

Yustov's dead, stabbed.

One of the clerks says he saw

Kessler coming out of Korvin's office.

Alright, call the airport. Have 'em hold the plane.

And tell the airport police to watch for the limousine.

- I'm on my way. - 'Right.'

Call Washington National, have a bird pick me up

at Ridgeway and state route 202.

Tell Holman what's happened, say we'll do everything

we can to help his wife.

[instrumental music]

Kessler, we are not in this much of a hurry.

Be careful. You'll k*ll us all.

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[dramatic music]

Kessler, slow down.

[dramatic music]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[car honking]

[dramatic music]

Kessler, slow down.

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

[helicopter whirring]

Are you alright, Mrs. Holman, Excellency?

- Yes. - Yes, yes.

[Erskine] 'Yustov's dead. It looks as if Kessler k*lled him.'

I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the country

for a while, Mrs. Holman, as a material witness.

Oh, thank you.

Of course, of course.

When'll Mrs. Holman be able to join him?

She'll have to go back for the children next week.

Then in two or three months she'll be able to apply

for passports and join him in South America

as Mrs. Andrei Szabo.

Korvin, will back her up.

He's convinced Holman's dead.

"The first snows.."

The first snows of winter fall

upon the sleeping birches.

That's it.

That's the key.

Lou...we've broken it.

I'll call Townsend.

Thank you, doctor.

And don't worry.

You'll be back with your family

long before the first snows of winter.

Yes.

I think the Szabo family will enjoy Paraguay.
