What?

I understand she drove

the British Intelligence absolutely nuts.

Mister, you'll have to prove this to me.

That I think I can do.

Hello?

Hello.

I'm calling Alhambra-93434.

I'm sorry. This is Alhambra-92424.

You have the wrong number.

That's their recognition signal.

This is Olga.

When did you arrive?

Jim.

Was it bad?

Yeah.

Was it worse than you thought?

Yeah.

What are they going to do to you?

I don't know yet.

They haven't decided.

Well, that's terrible.

I know what it is to wait.

Hello?

Hello.

I'm calling Alhambra-93434.

I'm sorry.

This is Alhambra-92424.

You have the wrong number.

This is Olga.

When did you arrive?

On the morning of the 11th.

How much fuel did you have left?

Practically none.

Haven't you anything more to tell me?

Yes, but I have no time now.

Where are you talking from?

A pay telephone in the ladies room

of a nightclub in Palm Springs.

I will mail the rest of my report.

Good-bye.

Hello, Olga.

Will you listen to me

a minute, Jim?

What for?

Jim!

Jim.

Jim and Anna.

Anna and Jim.

What are you going to do to me?

I don't know.

Things are flying around in my head

like feathers in a bag.

Are you going to kill me?

I don't know.

Whatever happens,

I wish you'd remember one thing.

What's that?

I've hated myself for doing this to you.

You mean you hated being a spy?

I'm not ashamed of that.

Then what are you talkin' about?

Marrying you.

I tried to keep you from doing it.

Is that all that's worrying you?

Yes.

Well, I got somethin'

that's bothering me a lot more.

What is it?

I'm still in love with you.

Oh, Jim.

Then this hasn't changed everything.

Afraid it hasn't changed anything.

Oh, Jim.

You're divine.

Oh, why didn't you think of this before?

I've been a little busy

the last few days.

Let's catch another drink.

By all means.

Shall we eat something?

Why, are you hungry?

Not particularly. But I always heard

that condemned criminals...

eat a hearty meal

the night before they're hanged.

Yeah, but there's no bar

at the jail.

If they could have all they want to drink,

I'll bet they wouldn't worry much

about the food.

What'll we have?

Go for some more champagne?

Mmm! Like we did last night?

Yeah.

That was fabulous.

But I had the most terrible dream.

You did?

I dreamt I lost my beautiful

Hello, Charlie.

Haven't seen you

for a week or two, Colonel.

Where have you been?

We've been doing

our drinking at home.

Two Tom Collins.

And instead of club soda,

make it champagne.

Oh, no wonder you stayed home.

That was no dream.

It wasn't?

Didn't I have it on when I woke up?

When I came to, all you had on

was... my bathrobe.

Oh, yes.

I put that on for the milkman.

Now, let's see.

When was the last time I wore it?

I seem to remember taking it out

of a hatbox.

Say, that was in Yuma.

Mmm, Yuma.

I know where it is.

Where are you going?

I washed it when we got back here,

and it's been hanging

out on the line ever since...

along with the rest

of my nice underwear.

Oh, if anybody's taken it

Don't worry.

Nobody's gonna bother it.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure.

And what's the difference?

I can always buy you another one.

Mmm.

Not like this one.

Does it mean that much to you?

Hello, Jim.

Oh.

Well, everything seems

to be okay with you two.

How can you tell?

The light in the lady's eyes.

The light that was never seen

on land or sea.

When did you get back?

Just a little while ago.

You're wanted on the phone.

Honest?

Just heard 'em paging you

in the lounge.

I'll be right back.

Will you stay with Anna?

Certainly.

Please hurry.

Do you have a call for me, Henry?

Yes, sir.

You can take it in the office.

Well, Jim.

General.

We got our okay

from Washington.

Swell.

But I don't like this business.

I never have.

Why?

I don't want you

to stick your neck in a noose.

Oh, I'll be all right.

I don't see how anything can go wrong

the way we've got things worked out.

Maybe.

But I want you to know,

if you have any doubts,

it isn't too late to say so.

Do you understand? That's why

I didn't bring Rivers and Sinclair along.

You can back out right now.

I'll take the bump. Be glad to.

Thanks, General,

but I wouldn't miss this for anything.

No kidding.

So long, sir.

Thanks, Rex.

Oh, you don't have to thank me.

I don't mind babysitting

this kind of a baby.

Any news?

Yeah.

See ya later.

Okay.

Is this it?

Have they finally decided

what they're going to do to us?

Yes.

What about you?

They're gonna let me off

with a reprimand.

Is that all?

Oh, that's fantastic.

They don't suspect you

of any complicity?

Why should they?

This is really an amazing country.

Do you know what

they'd do to you in Russia?

They'd either shoot you

or send you to the uranium mines.

Oh, Jim, I'm so happy for you.

All right. Tell me.

As good as it is for me,

it's that bad for you.

Go on.

Looks like 15 years

in the penitentiary...

the way they're tightening up

on you commies.

Five years.

That's the worst they can do to me,

and a $10,000 fine.

Put 10 years on top of that

for transmitting stolen information...

and another $10,000 fine.

Why?

Well, they got that report

you tried to send out.

Fifteen years?

I'll be an old woman

by the time I get out.

What about us?

Where will you be?

I was thinking the same thing.

I've never had too much fear of death,

but somehow this seems

more frightening.

Fifteen years!

I wouldn't expect you

to wait that long.

It wouldn't do any good if I did.

They'll deport you

when you've done your time.

When are they going to arrest me?

I don't know.

Maybe not till after the dance.

It usually breaks up around 2:00 or 3:00.

Five hours.

That's a long time.

You gonna try

and make a break for it?

Do you think there's a chance?

Well, there's only two of those men

from the F.B.I.

One of ems probably out in front,

and one out in back.

Now, the ladies' room

is on the east side.

If you were to drop out a window

It's no use.

I couldn't get out of this field.

It's too well-guarded.

How do you know?

I tried it night before last

after you were asleep.

Well, how'd you get by those F.B.I. Men

that were planted around our house?

I've had a lot of experience

in that sort of work.

And the only way

you can get out of this field

is to have a gate pass.

I'm thinking of an easier way.

What's that?

I could take you out by plane.

Are you insane?

Haven't I got you in enough trouble?

I won't get in any trouble over this.

Why not?

If we leave now, we'll probably be in Siberia

before this dance breaks up.

Siberia?

Let's go on in and finish our drinks.

First call for French 75's

I've had in a long time.

They're all right

if you like a direct hit.

Well, here's one for the road.

Are you serious?

What else could I do?

I don't think I'd be very happy

without you.

They have anything like this

in Russia?

We can get the champagne.

I don't know about the gin.
