OLIVIA KARLOFF.

RUSSIAN.

SHE CAME BACK TO

WASHINGTON BY CAB.

WENT TO THE ANDOVER

ARMS APARTMENTS:

WHERE BRENNAN:

WAS KILLED.

THANK YOU.

WON'T YOU

SIT DOWN, PLEASE?

NO, THANKS.

BUT I WOULD LIKE SOME

EXPLANATION OF THIS INSANITY.

NOW, MISS KARLOFF,

YOU WERE BROUGHT HERE

TO ANSWER QUESTIONS,

NOT TO ASK THEM.

UH, DO YOU MIND

REMOVING YOUR VEIL?

NOT AT ALL.

THANK YOU.

AND NOW I'LL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO

TAKE OFF THE REST OF YOUR CLOTHES.

OH, I BEG

YOUR PARDON. HEH.

THAT WAS RATHER ABRUPT,

WASN'T IT?

YES, RATHER.

UH, WILL YOU SEND ME

A MATRON, PLEASE?

WOULD IT BE ASKING TOO

MUCH FOR YOU TO TELL ME

WHY YOU'RE SO INTERESTED

IN MY CLOTHES?

OH, NOT AT ALL.

WE WANT THEM FOR

CHEMICAL INVESTIGATION.

IT'S A RULE,

YOU UNDERSTAND.

MM-HMM. YES.

I SUPPOSE I SHALL

HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

YOU SENT FOR:

A MATRON, SIR.

YES.

WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE MISS

KARLOFF BEHIND THAT SCREEN

AND GET HER CLOTHES?

YES, SIR.

THIS WAY,

PLEASE.

NOTHING IN THE HAT,

LIEUTENANT.

HERE YOU ARE, SIR.

DO YOU WISH:

TO EXAMINENEHESE?

IS THAT ALL, MATRON?

THAT'S ALL.

SHE'S BOWLEGGED.

WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE

MISS KARLOFF THAT COAT?

THEN GO TO THE NEARES DEPARTMENT STORE

AND GET HER A NEW OUTFI TO REPLACE THESE.

SIZE 14.

SHE'LL NEVER GE INTO A 14.

GO GET IT, PLEASE.

HERE'S A LITTLE WORK

FOR THE BOYS.

I THINK I'LL HAVE THE

MARRIED ONES WORK ON THESE.

I SEE.

THEN WHY WERE YOU AT MAJOR

BRENNAN'S FUNERAL LAST NIGHT?

FUNERAL?

MY MEN FOLLOWED YOU

FROM THE DOCK.

I WENT TO THE BOA TO SEE A FRIEND OFF.

CERTAINLY YOU WEN TO SEE A FRIEND OFF.

AND THAT FRIEND:

WAS BRENNAN.

WHY DON'T YOU

STOP LYING?

OUR RECORDS SHOW THAT YOU

CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WITH HIM,

YOU STAYED A THE SAME HOTEL,

YOU DINED TOGETHER,

HE MADE YOU:

EXPENSIVE PRESENTS,

AND LAST NIGHT,

YOU WERE AT HIS FUNERAL.

WHAT WERE YOU TO HIM?

I LOVED HIM.

LET'S HAVE

THE REST OF IT.

I WENT TO HIS APARTMEN AROUND 4:00 THAT DAY.

HE WASN'T THERE.

SO I THOUGHT I'D FIX SOME TEA AND

HAVE IT FOR HIM WHEN HE RETURNED.

I WENT INTO THE KITCHEN,

HE WAS ON THE FLOOR.

I WAS ABOU TO TELEPHONE THE POLICE,

BUT I WAS AFRAID

OF EXPOSURE.

WHY DID YOU FEAR

EXPOSURE?

BECAUSE I'D HAVE

TO TELL THE POLICE

THE SAME AS I'M TELLING YOU.

YOU SEE, HIS WIFE

NEVER KNEW ABOUT US.

TO HER, BRENNAN WILL HAVE DIED

IN THE SERVICE FOR HIS COUNTRY.

THAT WAS VERY:

GENEROUS OF YOU.

GENEROUS. DO YOU THINK

I CARE ABOUT HER?

I DID IT FOR HIM...

BECAUSE I KNEW:

HE'D WANT IT THAT WAY.

CIGARETTE?

YOU SEE, I'M RATHER

LONELY HERE.

MOST OF MY FRIENDS

ARE IN ENGLAND.

YOU'RE NOT GOING

TO KEEP ME HERE, ARE YOU?

IF YOUR PASSPOR IS IN ORDER,

THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING

TO PREVENT YOUR LEAVING.

HOPE I HAVEN' FORGOTTEN ANYTHING.

I'LL GET YOU A RELEASE

FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

THANKS. THIS IS MY FIRS EXPERIENCE WITH AMERICAN OFFICERS.

HOW DID YOU MAKE OUT?

IT WAS:

VERY PLEASANT.

LIEUTENANT GORDON

IS CHARMING.

DON'T YOU THINK SO?

WELL, OF COURSE I'VE ALWAYS

MET HIM WITH MY CLOTHES ON.

OH, LIEUTENANT, I-

HE'S NOT HERE.

WELL, DO YOU KNOW

WHERE HE IS?

YES, HE WENT TO SEE

THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

WELL, WHEN HE RETURNS,

WOULD YOU KINDLY

HAVE HIM SEE ME:

IMMEDIATELY ABOU THIS BEAUTY CIRCULAR?

CERTAINLY.

THANK YOU.

FINE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND,

LIEUTENANT,

WHY YOU WANT TO LET HER

KNOW WE HAVE THE CIRCULAR.

THE IDEA IS TO FORCE

HER HAND TODAY.

UNLESS THE GERMAN RING IS

ROUNDED UP IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS,

WE CAN'T SEND THE RENDEZVOUS

POSITION TO THAT TROOP SHIP.

NOW, IF THAT BEAUTY CIRCULAR

CONTAINS DAMAGING INFORMATION-

OH, I GET YOU.

SHE'LL CONTACT HEADQUARTERS

TO WARN THE OTHERS.

EXACTLY.

WHEN THAT WOMAN:

LEAVES MY OFFICE,

DON'T LOSE HER

FOR A SECOND.

TELL CLARK TO PUT TWO MEN

ON HER TELEPHONE IMMEDIATELY.

OK.

OH, UH, MISS KARLOFF,

I DO HOPE YOU LIKE

THE OUTFIT.

I DID TRY TO GE SOMETHING BECOMING.

THAT WILL BE ALL,

MATRON.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT SHOPPING

FOR SOMEONE ELSE, YOU KNOW.

YES.

AND SUCH A BARGAIN, TOO.

ONLY $4.98 FOR

THE WHOLE OUTFIT.

I'M AFRAID THIS HAS BEEN

RATHER TRYING FOR YOU.

BUT NOT UNINTERESTING, LIEUTENANT.

SUPPOSE I TELEPHONE

YOU TOMORROW.

YES. I THINK I SHALL FEEL

BETTER IN THE MORNING.

ABOUT 10:
00?

AT 10:
00.

GOOD.

OH, MATRON,

WHEN I GO SHOPPING

FOR MY FALL OUTFIT,

MAY I CALL ON YOU?

MADE A MONKEY:

OUT OF YOU, DIDN'T SHE?

ARE YOU SURE SHE DIDN' MAKE ONE OUT OF YOU?

HEH HEH.

BROUGHT THIS MAN

FROM THE CODING ROOM

TO TRANSLATE THIS FOR

YOU. IT'S IN RUSSIAN.

FOLLOWED HER EVERY MINUTE

FROM THE TIME SHE LEFT HERE.

SHE WENT FIRST TO

THE ORTHODOX CHURCH.

INSIDE THE DOOR,

SHE BOUGHT A CANDLE.

THEN SHE WROTE ON

THAT SLIP OF PAPER

AND LEFT IT FOR:

THE PRIEST THERE.

CAN YOU TRANSLATE IT?

OH, YES. IT'S FROM

THE CHURCH, HUH?

IN MEMORY OF THE SERVAN OF GOD, WILLIAM BRENNAN,

PLEASE OFFER UP:

A PRAYER.

WELL, THAT'S

THE FINAL TEST.

IT'S NEGATIVE.

JUST A PRAYER SLIP,

AFTER ALL.

HMM... WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING

QUEER ABOUT THIS CHURCH BUSINESS.

YOU'RE SURE THA SHE DIDN'T SPEAK TO ANYBODY

AFTER SHE BOUGH THE CANDLE?

WE'RE POSITIVE,

LIEUTENANT.

SHE WENT OVER TO THE ALTAR

AND KNELT DOWN TO PRAY.

HMM. WELL, WE'LL KEEP

ON SHADOWING HER,

THOUGH I DON'T THINK IT'S

GOING TO GET US ANYWHERE.

SHE'S A VERY

CLEVER WOMAN.

YOU SAY SHE WENT STRAIGH HOME FROM THE CHURCH, HUH?

YES,

LIEUTENANT.

LOOK UP THE NUMBER TO THE

ANDOVER ARMS FOR ME. WILL YOU?

RIGHT.

GOT AN IDEA?

WELL, CHURCH

OR NO CHURCH,

SHE MUST BE PRETTY WORRIED

ABOUT THAT CIRCULAR.

IF I CAN CATCH HER RIGH NOW WHILE SHE IS WORRIED,

I MAY BE ABLE TO FIND

OUT WHAT SHE KNOWS.

CAPITAL 7296.

THANKS.

CAPITAL 72-

UH, NEVER MIND,

OPERATOR.

NOW WHAT?

IT JUST STRUCK ME.

IF SHE REALLY:

IS WORRIED,

SHE'LL TRY TO FIND OU WHAT I KNOW, WON'T SHE?

YES, I GUESS

SHE WILL.

LET'S WAIT AND SEE

IF SHE DOESN'T PHONE ME.

HOW'S THA FOR DEDUCTION?

ALL RIGHT,

IF IT WORKS.

MEANTIME, KEEP RIGHT AFTER

THAT CIRCULAR, PROFESSOR.

THERE'S SOMETHING

THERE SOMEWHERE.

I'LL WEAR OU THE PAPER TRYING.

THAT'S THE IDEA.

HELLO.

YOU'LL FIND CIGARS

IN THE LOWER DRAWER.

WELL?

WELL, WHAT?

WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?

YOU'RE SURELY NOT GOING

TO WEAR THAT OUTFIT.

WELL, CERTAINLY.

WHY, BILL, I WORE I JUST TO PLEASE YOU.

IT'S GOING TO LOOK SWELL

IN THE CAFETERIA.

CAFETERIA?!

OH, I ORDERED A TABLE FOR

US AT THE CORDON ROUGE.

I'M SORRY, BUT 30 MINUTES IS AS

LONG AS THIS DESK CAN SPARE ME

FOR DINNER THIS EVENING.

OHHH. IF I HAD

ANY PRIDE,

I'D GO RIGHT HOME.

INSTEAD OF THAT,

HERE I AM CHASING YOU.

DO YOU KNOW ANY:

OTHER GIRLS WHO WOULD?

THOUSANDS.

THEN WHY DON' YOU GET YOURSELF ONE?

HOW CAN I WITH YOU SNOOPING

AROUND ALL THE TIME?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE

YOUR EYES SCRATCHED OUT?

HELLO?

OH, MISS KARLOFF.

FINE. I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.

SUPPOSE WE HAVE DINNER

TOGETHER THIS EVENING?
