The Fourth Protocol Page #3

That's that's a detonator. For a bomb.

A bomb?

An atomic bomb.

Pull over, Gregoriev.

Yes sir.

I understand you have been driving

comrade Colonel Philby lately.

Yes, comrade general. Up till christmas

Where have you been driving him?

Gergoriev, do you know who I am?

So tell me, where did you drive him?

Comrade General,

I've been forbidden to...

Gregoriev, you have a wife

and two children.

Do you think they will like you driving

an open jeep in Afghanistan?

So where did you drive Colonel Philby?

Comrade Professor Krilov?

Yes?

My name is General Karpov.

May I have a word?

Come in.

Professor Krilov...

In the interests of the State

I want you to tell me the plan

that you and Philby have

been discussing with Govorshin.

What authority have you got for this?

My authority is my rank and my service.

If you have no singed authority

from the Comrade General Chairman

you hve no authority at all.

In fact I might draw his attention

to your line of questioning.

That might not be a very good idea.

Did you know that Philby

has already gone missing?

What do you mean "gone missing"?

Disappeared.

The rumour is that he is dead.

Shot.

On Govorshin's orders.

Well, that is not my concern.

Then man is reckless and weak.

No doubt he has overstepped the mark.

That mark is easily overstepped.

You have a son for instance.

But this can't be.

You know, we do not tolerate

these "golden boys".

Five years in a labour camp

not everyone survives that endure

it the beatings the sodomy...

I regard this report

this report as alarmist,

irresponsible and supported

by insufficient evidence.

Evidence? Can't you read!?!

That metal disc can only be used

as part of a trigger for an ATOM BOMB.

That remains to be seen.

Don't think I don't know

what's going on, Preston.

You're trying to worm your way back

into favour by dreaming

up some far fetched drama

of which you yourself,

naturally, are the hero.

And and you're kicking out anybody

who doesn't make themselves available

to kiss your arse!

But if you were to look at

this thing straight just for a moment,

you might see that

there's something going on out there!

It is my prerogative, as head

of this country's Security Service...

Acting head, sunshine...

But if you ask me you're acting like

a complete arsehole!

No further action and you are suspended

for insubordination.

Indefinitely.

Look what we've got here!

Nah!

What, you think I'll get out of

this bloody carriage for you bloody wog

Yeah! F*** off back to the jungle!

Want to go somewhere?

Get out!

Wake up all you black passengers!

F*** off back to the jungle then!

And take your

Commie f***ing brass mates with you.

What's your problem, toerag?

You two related?

Eh?

Hello, Joa.

Hello.

I'm staying in tonight.

You can take the evening off

if you want to.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Tiger.

Who's winning?

I am!

And police reports indicated

that rioting continued today

in townships outside Johannesbourg,

Pretoria and Cape Town...

Come on, Tiger.

Bed.

Scuffles broke out today between

demonstrators and police

as a further squadron of American

F1-11 Strike Bombers

arrived at the US Airforce Base of

Baywaters had flown non stop from Texas

refuelling in mid Atlantic.

Hey!

You looking for someone?

No. No, not really.

You got a room here?

No. But I've got my car.

Let's go then.

Hey Jim me and Eileen been figuring

you could use a little entertainment.

Well actually, I'm rather busy,

at the moment.

Well, hell you ain't too busy

to be watching TV

why don't you come down

to the Base for a few beers?

Yes, alright. Thank you,

that would be lovely.

Um just give me a couple

of minutes, okay?

Ever done any bowling, Jimmy?

Goddamn!

You're pretty good, Jimmy.

Yeah, too damn good.

I think we'd better find something

I can beat you at.

Push another?

Oh! Now don't tell me

you've reached your limit, Jimmy boy!

Well, I usually try and stop after

a gallon or so.

No sh*t.

Marty come here.

Give us two large Moscow Mules Pronto!

Maybe that's kick a hole

in that famous British reserve.

Na zdrovye that's rusky for "up yours".

Narza drovier.

Cool you British are real cool.

Most of these boys are just all hat

and no cattle.

Sounds painful.

I ought to be getting back, Eileen.

Yeah?

Okay.

Yeah, you get real bored around here.

These people treat us like such dopes.

To tell the truth I sometimes wonder

what we're doing here at all.

Yes, I can understand that.

Do you get bored too, Jimmy?

Bored stiff?

I ought to be getting back.

Come to fly a kite, Sir?

Now, I'll land it.

Very good.

Go and get it, Tim.

It's an interesting report, John.

You're pretty sure about this, I take it

That somewhere out there

there's a soviet agent assembling

an atomic bomb?

Yes.

Don't suppose you heard

a sleep transmitter has

just gone active in East Anglia.

Sent two messages.

First, two weeks ago.

But the second soon after

your glasgow incident.

So he's already asked for

a replacement disc.

And if you were still on the case how

would you track him down?

Well, we know

he's at least one component short.

I would start by working

on recent immigration records

of all Soviet Block citizens.

Try to pick out the courier.

Alright I can get you those records.

I'll have them brouth round

to your flat.

Okay.

Just keep Harcourt Smith off my back.

Oh, he's much too busy working on

his Knighthood.

Timmy!

First of all,

there'd be a core of uranium.

Probably round and about five inches

in diameter.

Now there'd be a two inch diameter hole

right through the centre.

Over here we have

a two inch diameter ord.

Also uranium 235.

Now when the rod is rammed into

the heart of the fissionable core

the mass

of the two together rises beyond

the critical threshold.

And that's when things start

to get exciting.

The fissionable core will explode only

if at the moment of criticality

it's bombarded by a blizzard

of neutrons and the blizzard

is created by the initiator...

Lithium...

And polonium...

what is it that wends the plug down

the tube into the mass?

Any old plastic explosive.

I believe you know about that.

So what we're looking for

is some plastic explosive

a detonator tow small discs a tube...

A round metal case and a rod of uranium

And the uranium ball.

The thing about uranium, it's heavy.

Twice as heavy as lead.

That ball alone would take

a strong man to life two handed.

But in size it's about as big as

a small football?

Nearer a child's football.

If an atomic bomb explodes on

an american base they'll be blamed

For a nuclear accident.

The British will kick them out.

That will destroy NATO.

But if Petrofsky is caught

with those components Russia

will be blamed for breaking

the Fourth Protocol.

Govorshin would have forced us back

into the cold war.

Denounce him to the President.

On what evidence?

Well, what about this professor,

er, Krilov?

Krilov.

Krilov.
