The Kremlin Letter Page #5

---

Where can i get drugs here?

There is a chinese.

He's called, uh, the kital.

- Can you arrange for me to meet him?

- I will arrange it.

say you will

won't you put your sweet lips

to mine

won't you say you love me

all of the time

oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

just a little bit longer

oh, oh, oh, yeah

now, please, please, please

i know where you're going

going to

oh, won't you stay

just a little bit longer

now, please, please, please

i know where you're going to

I know kosnov from the old

days. I'd recognize him anywhere.

2:
00 in the morning, he comes in himself...

After this beautiful blonde.

He said, "erika, come home."

They know her in the caf.

She and polakov used to go there together.

She was polakov's wife.

They all thought that she was

dead and buried until last night.

You said we'd go for a holiday!

You said we'd leave at once.

Now you say we can't go.

It can't be helped. "It can't be helped"!

Aren't you in charge of your department?

Aren't you the one who gives the orders?

Something has come up.

What?

You know i can't discuss it with you.

Why don't you marry me so

you can tell me something?

Like polakov did.

Why don't you marry me so

you can tell me something?

I'm sure polakov didn't

discuss his work with you.

Are you? That's what you told me.

- Well, i lied.

- Then or now?

Then.

He told me things because he trusted me.

- What did he tell you then?

- Things.

If you take me dancing, maybe i'll tell you.

Erika.

This is what i was famous

for in the berlin houses.

Sorry to disturb you at this

time of the night, comrade kosnov.

A van, missing from vorkuta for five days,

Has been found with two

corpses instead of one.

So? The missing driver of

the van is still missing.

The man found behind the wheel

was about 60. Foreign dental work.

His companion, a man of 35,

also foreign dental work.

This was observed in vorkuta

where the bodies were taken.

The message just came

through on the telephone.

Because of its unusual

nature, i came at once.

Polakov's replacement.

How impractical to come in by the kara sea.

Perhaps that's why they chose it.

Have the bodies flown here for autopsy.

Assemble all files on enemy

agents in those age groups.

Dr. Kital.

Who are you?

I'm from prague.

Sophie and i are in business together.

- Why did you come to me?

- To make a deal.

What kind of deal? I can get

this in unlimited quantities.

Not interested. Why not?

There's a lot of money in it.

Moscow is just not the

place for a big operation.

Has it ever been tried before? Oh, yes.

Many years ago by a man named chang.

But he was caught by the third department.

Who were chang's customers?

What i want from you is a list

of their names and nothing else.

I'll take all the risks and go

50-50 with you on the profits.

What have you got to lose?

Even if i cheat you, which i won't,

Those names are no good to you.

Think about it. If you want to talk

it over, you know where to find me.

Madame sophie's.

Identification of the young man was simple.

We obtained fingerprints from the body.

They correspond to this file.

Charles evans rone, u.S.N.

So does the dental work.

Definitely american, by the way.

The hands of the man behind the wheel...

Were too badly burned to

take clear fingerprints.

But dental work, also american,

Matches this file on someone called, uh,

The highwayman.

Postmortem revealed that he

was suffering from lung cancer-

Terminal stage.

The highwayman?

Is this file up to date?

Yes, the latest from potkin.

Thank you, comrade doctor.

And, uh, forward your official report

together with these files to me personally.

Who was this highwayman?

An old-Time agent.

During the war, he was with sturdevant.

But why would they want

to send in a dying man?

To show the younger man the ropes perhaps.

Help him get his bearings.

Goddamn fools. Trying to

come in through vorkuta.

It will take some time before

the west finds out what happened.

Send potkin an official commendation...

And arrange for him and his family

to have a holiday at yalta...

At government expense.

I heard something fascinating

today about kosnov,

The chief of the third department.

They said he got married.

You'll never guess who to.

Who? The widow of the

traitor dimitri polakov.

You knew him very well. Didn't you, rudolph?

I, uh

- He was a mere acquaintance.

I met him at one of your lectures,

professor. I saw him a few times. That's all.

But you were questioned when he was caught.

That's very unfair of you, ilya.

You know perfectly well all our

cultural ministry were questioned.

And lots of others. Not only myself.

Ilya, you must not tease

rudolph so. It is cruel!

Naughty. You're right.

Apologize. I'm sorry, rudolph.

Besides, i doubt it could be the same man.

Dimitri polakov certainly was

not married when i knew him.

Rudolph says he's in love with me.

He claims that i'm the only one

he's been in love with since polakov,

And talking about their

affair makes him weep.

He wants me to leave the

professor and move in with him.

I told him it wouldn't be

wise to break off so suddenly,

But that i would find a way soon.

I am knitting these bed socks for him.

What's this, uh, mikail like?

He's all right.

Did you ask if you could move in with him?

No. I got him to ask me.

He has a mother, you say.

What about her? Is she happy about it?

She's a nice old woman.

Where do they live?

23 alicia street, behind the central market.

Two dark little rooms in a tenement.

He's, um- He's a small-Time thief.

He'll never be anything else.

He hasn't the talent.

He's incurably lazy, but he's-

He's rather charming.

Have you been to bed with him?

No. Not yet.

But after you move in with

him? Yes, i suppose so.

Damn.

Hey, nephew! Get your ass in here!

Like polakov did.

Polakov took me to all the nightclubs

in paris to see the americans.

There are no places like that in moscow.

Yes, there are. Come on!

Only for degenerates.

I cannot be seen in places like

that. Buck up, nephew. Buck up.

I'm bored. You still got the grand mute-

You bore me. A receiving set and me.

Why don't you take me

to a nightclub? Take me!

If we finish early, i'll take you to one.

Russians never finish eating early.

You all eat like pigs at a trough.

I want no talk like that tonight.

I want you to remember the story. I want

you to repeat it, just as i told you.

I know it. Now listen.

Besides our host, his daughter and grodin,

There will also be gregori sergal kazar...

And his wife.

Gregori sergal is a

high-Ranking kremlin adviser,

So don't make any mistakes, please.

Who is this "brethnavitch" that you

have to come running when he calls?

Bresnavitch.

Aleksel ivanovitch bresnavitch. Say it.

Aleksel ivanovitch bresnavitch. Satisfied?

I want you to remember it.

Don't drink too much, please.

Who is he anyway? A member

of the central committee.

Your boss? Mm-Hmm. In a way.

Then i'll go to bed with him
