man - Henderson. Steve Henderson.

He was to attach a homing device

to the Leontiev.

Rickert gave me an assistant

to monitor it.

What about it? Nothing, nada, niet!

Nobody's seen Henderson.

For what it's worth, I'm an

oceanographer. I study currents.

Turpidity.

For openers.

BOAT'S ENGINE CHUGS

Dr Tani?

You work for Father Joseph.

I do, but I'm employed by Mr Rickert.

My boys are on the island?

They're at the Medina Museum.

This picture shows the Grand Master

defeating the Turks in 1565.

A city is named after him.

Daddy!

How are you doing? I am very glad

to see you. Both of you!

How long have you worn glasses?

Don't ask!

Remember me? Patricia Parker.

Dean's friend.

The tour's over. Let's step outside.

We've been hoping you could join us.

That work wasn't too difficult.

We've been here two days, Dad!

I'm sorry. I was busy, OK?

Dr Tani, you may want to see this.

I'll wait for you in the boat.

Who is he? Vladimir Klimenko -

colonel in KGB. Sector commander.

He flew in two days ago.

Now on the Leontiev. Hmm.

Be careful, Doctor.

He's dangerous business.

CREW APPLAUDS:

Yah!

GENERAL HUBBUB:

CREW SPEAK RUSSIAN

According to the computer,

this is where the F1-11 went down.

I'm not getting anything from

the F1-11's emergency transponder.

Let me help you with your tank.

I don't use it.

I've heard about divers who lower

their heart rate to stay underwater.

Tell me about it sometime.

It's a research vessel,

chartered by Father Bedelia

of Georgetown University.

That's an unusual operation here.

Captain, diver in the water -

220m dead ahead.

Shall I arm the depth charges?

I'll let you know.

Take us alongside!

Have you been on this duty long?

Do you like this job?

I do now.

Andrei!

Get the camera.

Ahoy there! Ahoy, Leontiev!

Ahoy, Leontiev! Bear off!

HORN BLARES:

You don't need help?

We're fine!

Who is we?

My research associate - Dr Tani.

Look at this!

We have visitors.

Marine life?

Nothing to interest you, sir.

Hardly of

a commercial size or grade,

but then, these waters aren't

noted for their productivity.

It's been six years since fishing

was a factor in the economic life

of this island...

Thank you!

I shall pass the information

on to the Ministry of Fisheries.

Unfortunately, the Ministry

waits a long time to take action.

What's your project? Turpidity.

Turpidity?

These waters here...

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Are you familiar with the 1983

Oceanography Congress in Stockholm?

I'll look it up!

What have you found on turpidity?

I'll know when I collate the data.

But you will be gone by then, sir?

You will know how to find us.

All engines back!

His name's Bedelia?

B-E-D-E-L-I-A.

Bedelia, Joseph. Born Connecticut.

Graduate Fordham University.

But no Intelligence contact.

Served in Vietnam from 1970-73.

Entered seminary in 1974.

Ordained.

Now this one.

Kenji Tani. Born Nara, Japan.

US citizen.

I can read it!

Not enough information.

I'm returning to station.

We can still put divers down.

Where we saw the Japanese.

Your people said there!

My own people are not on the sea!

'Get word to the Embassy,

'I want a surveillance team in place

when Bedelia's boat comes in.'

TOUR GUIDE:
This is

the Grand Masters' Palace.

It was built in 1574.

Here's a statue of Neptune.

Follow me and I'll show you

the rest of the palace -

the dining room, the bone room

and the tapestry chamber.

All the weapons and suits of armour

are original

and were used during the Great Siege

of 1565 against the Turks.

It's more fun with you, Daddy.

There are things I had to do.

I just have one more thing

to do tomorrow.

Hey! If I'm lucky, that's it!

My time will be all yours.

Promise? I'll do the best I can.

That's all I can promise. OK, Daddy.

We have company.

The one with a moustache

and the one with a beard.

Peter can handle this. I'll take

care of it. I'll stay with the boys.

We have had 28 Grand Masters

and the first Grand Master...

Wow! Look at those guys!

Excuse me, please.

The Grand Master here is a head

of state, a prime minister...

Hey, where's my dad?

He'll catch up with us later.

Him and his promises!

GUNSHO Arghhh!

WOMAN SCREAMS:

Here's your father. Where did you

go? I had to make a phone call.

Can we go back to the beach now?

Back to the hotel now.

We'll hit the beach tomorrow.

Sure you can make it(?)

I'll be there.

Stop!

Sonia,

superimpose the tape

from the palace.

Patricia Parker. Born 1960.

Employee of Central Intelligence

Agency since 1981.

Assigned to Korea, escort duties.

Qualified in small arms,

automobile, aircraft, explosives

and electronic transmissions.

I don't think she's important.

Uh-uh, but now we know that HE is.

Aren't you suspicious

that these Russians

both died violent deaths?

I make no assumptions.

Excuse me.

'But this national security case...'

Hey! That was interesting!

Come on, you need your sleep.

Goodnight, boys.

Hey, Dad! How did you get here on

the island? By plane, same as you.

See you in the morning.

Peter will look after the boys.

Am I going somewhere?

We both are. There was a message

for us to be at the casino at 9pm.

I don't know who sent it.

Let's find out. Uh-huh.

THEY SPEAK RUSSIAN

Here they come.

CROUPIER:
Rien ne va plus!

Place your bets.

Make a play, Andrei.

Your play.

Part of your project, Dr Tani?

Is it Captain Klimenko?

Colonel.

This is Miss Patricia Parker.

I know quite a bit about Miss Parker.

It's not often I meet a woman who

scores 96 on a Langley firing range.

And is rated triple-A1

as a radio operator.

You're confusing me

with someone else, Colonel.

Make a play!

I don't gamble, Doctor.

It goes against logic

to take unnecessary risks

with so little chance of success.

Tac-toe. Le rouge.

Evens in red.

What do you know,

we came up a winner!

Of course! You backed red!

Let's go back to the hotel.

We're ahead!

The best time to cash in your chips!

Besides, I know a warning

when I hear one.

Shall I check on the kids?

No, I'll do it. OK.

Goodni...

SHE MOUTHS:

Would you like a nightcap? Sure.

GUNSHOTS:

Huh! Get the boys out!

Let's get out of here!

Sit down, kids. Give me a minute. I

want to be sure we have no problem.

ENGINE REVS:

SIREN WAILS:

I can't take it any more.

I'm scared!

Relax. Don't panic.

Go on, go on! Everything's ready!

I must check

something.

Is everything OK? Yes. Good.

Dad? Go with Peter, Brian.

Get some rest.

Dad, is someone trying to hurt you?

I am doing a job for our country.

They asked me to find something.

But some people

don't want you to find it?

Yes.

They are bad men, aren't they?

They probably think we are bad men.

There's a lot you're not telling me.

There is a lot I cannot tell you.

Please understand.

Goodnight, Dad.

Goodnight.

Tell Rickert, I don't care

where they come from,

I want more people here

to look after my boys!

I understand you are

to be congratulated.

That can wait till the
