Telefon Page #4

- You have killed before. It's in your dossier.

- oh, come on.

I'm not objecting on moraI grounds,

but I'm just not about to walk in there...

...and ice somebody without knowing

there's validity and purpose to the act.

My God. why am I going through all this

if I don't believe in something?

- what do you want to know?

- I wanna know why he must die.

The entire success of my mission,

our mission...

...depends on the death of that man.

If he lives, he'll talk.

If he talks, he could possibly start

a nuclear war. That's just possibly.

But we can't gamble that he won't.

one thing. How do you get me

into a nurse's uniform...

...before he's out of the coma?

Dr. Norton, please call nurse's station

Four West.

You son of a b*tch.

- Yes?

- This is Dr. Spota.

I'm sending up Nurse Mccormick

to relieve you for 10 minutes.

when she does, would you report

to the superintendent's office, please?

Yes, doctor.

woMAN [oN PA]:

Dr. Kingsbee, call Dr. Faraday in X-ray 1.

Dr. Kingsbee, call Dr. Faraday in X-ray 1.

Mccormick. I've been asked

to relieve the duty nurse.

okay.

How's he doing?

Still in a coma, but improving.

Dr. Spota wants you to meet him

in the super's office.

Yes, I know, he called.

Not too much to do here.

Just keep your eye on the heart monitor.

I'll be right back. okay?

Have you noticed a deterioration lately

in the outer leaf?

we've asked our people in Havana

to look into it.

Your man succeeded in california?

I sent you a videotape

of the American television news report.

we took it off the satellite

only an hour ago.

- Killing the priest is only a reprieve.

- A reprieve is preferable to an execution.

I have nightmares, my good friend,

about going before the centraI committee...

...to confess that we kept this operation

a personaI secret.

I wish I could have nightmares.

I can't fall asleep.

Perhaps we were in error...

...in not eliminating the remaining

Telefon agents at one sweep of the board.

Sending in teams to do it

at a single predetermined time.

But, sir, we ruled that out.

And there's no way

that we can send that many men in...

...without arousing

the committee's suspicion.

Not to mention

Dalchimsky's or the Americans'.

Blowing up their military installations

rouses their suspicions too.

I'm not about to go to the premier

and say, "Excuse me, comrade chairman.

I do not want to hinder your talks with

the American president about detente...

...but I think you should know

we are presently in a state of war...

...with the United States. "

No, no. Not possible.

Then definitely, you must agree...

...that relying on the major

is the least of all evils.

Yes, that is true.

Provided he succeeds immediately.

But if he does, then we can be sure

that nobody ever knows about Telefon.

Except the major.

The major will know about Telefon.

well, surely he can be trusted.

He should not be subjected

to such insupportable stress.

what do you mean?

His contact in America,

the woman I sent in with him...

...she will eliminate him

the moment his mission is completed.

why aren't you dressed and packed?

Just put it down.

Don't.

Shouldn't you be checking

on your flight connections home?

or did they promise you a vacation

when you got the job done?

- can I ask a question?

- You ask too many.

Yeah, but this one's kind of important.

who are all those men

whose names you've written?

And why all the cities and the map?

I'd like to go back to Moscow

remembering you as being alive.

could you help me accomplish that?

I killed for you, major.

I walked into that hospitaI room

and I took a man's life...

...simply because you told me

it was necessary.

Now, don't you think I've earned the right

to be treated as a full partner?

- Isn't your mission over?

- No.

Then the man at the hospitaI

wasn't the man you came for.

The picture in your wallet.

Is that the man?

That's the man I am going to kill.

what's his name?

Nicolai Dalchimsky.

oh!

Sorry. Sorry, Gregg.

I'll get another glass for both of us.

If you're not dressed in 10 minutes,

there will be no pancakes for breakfast.

KIDS:

Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes!

Somebody's gonna bust a rump around here

one of these mornings.

- Ahh. Good morning!

DALcHIMSKY:
Is this Marie Wills?

Yup.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep

Remember, Guriyeva.

Miles to go before you sleep.

Remember, Guriyeva.

Miles to go before I sleep.

Yes? wait a second.

Yes?

Nicolai Dalchimsky.

Now, can we reach you?

Right, call back in 10 minutes.

Start a book on these and if Belle calls,

switch it to the data bank.

Uh, while you're there,

see if they can make sense...

...out of why a woman

drives into a canyon by herself...

...dressed in nothing but a housecoat

and blows the place all to hell.

Levels it in less than a minute.

Proving you don't screw around

with ladies in housecoats.

Proving that Putterman's dead wrong

about these being Sov-bloc attacks.

No Russian agent

is gonna waste his time on a target...

...that's been declassified years ago.

- In.

- I really believe that these numbers...

...are being done

by some radicaI right-wing group.

Autopsy report on Marie wills.

Russian suicide capsule,

probably one of their K-3's.

You know, they stopped

issuing K-3's 15 years ago.

oh, tell me, Bill.

where would a radicaI right-wing group

get a supply of Soviet K-3 capsules?

come on.

Some new input. Everything.

Anything on this man, okay?

Dalchimsky.

Nicolai Dalchimsky.

I seem to recall that name from a list of

their clerks I fed in a couple of years ago.

or was that Malchimsky?

- Putterman, please, ask the machine, huh?

- chimsky.

I think he was-

oh, yes, he was in their Documents section,

KGB Moscow.

what the hell do we need

the computer for if we've got you?

oh, don't say that. Don't even think that.

They're very sensitive.

well, what did he do?

That's it.

well, I'll be damned.

BoRzo V:
There's got to be

a pattern somewhere.

Some pattern to what he's doing.

BARBARA:
what who's doing?

- Dalchimsky.

I get the feeling it's a kind of rituaI.

Some sort of deadly ceremony

and not random violence.

I can't lock in on it.

There is no common denominator.

Not even a set time intervaI

between incidents.

By incidents, you mean Father Diller

attacking the switching station...

...and Marie wills

destroying some kind of secret base?

Yes.

- Have there been others?

- Yes, three. Before I got here.

There's no geographicaI pattern.

He's skipping and jumping

without regionaI progression.

The kinds of installations

he is destroying are all different.

There is no pattern there.

And the names of the people he's using

don't tell me anything.

I arrange and rearrange them

as much as I can.

why don't we go to the cIA

and borrow one of their computers?

why don't we do as ordered

and keep our mouth shut?

Sorry.

Maybe you don't realize
