-Anna! -Oh, thank God.

Anna, don't interfere!

Don't interfere?!

Am l to stand by

and watch my brother shoot himself?!

Now, please, Anna, l want to die.

l was to be dead by the time you came home from the reception.

But why, Alexi, why?

There is to be a purge,

all of Papa's men still in the government and me!

You!

The party wants to eliminate all vestige of Papa's influence.

They can't.

We'll fight them!

Anna, be realistic.

There is no way to fight them.

l won't let you die!

We'll run away.

We couldn't even get across the border without help.

And who will help us?

The Americans, you think, huh?

Yes...

the Americans.

lf l go to the American Ambassador...

Anna, you are so naive.

Why should they interfere?

Listen,

there's just a chance.

Anna, the document Papa entrusted to you,

they want that.

lf you promise to give it to them,

they might agree to help us.

No, l can't ask that of you.

Alexi!

You're my brother; l want to save your life.

l shall go to the American Ambassador tomorrow

and tell him that we want to defect.

l shall tell him that we will have the document with us.

Oh, Anna, lovely Anna.

Thank you, Anna.

Alexi,

Very nicely done, Alexi.

Thank you, Colonel.

Now all we have to do to get the document is watch Anna

and stay one step ahead of American intelligence.

North trail's closed.

Oh?

What about the East trail?

Yeah, but only till twilight.

Let's go, kids!

Good morning, Mister Phelps.

Before he died last year,

Premier Kerkoska gave his daughter,

Anna, a secret document containing

the names of men within his government

who privately favored friendly relations with the West.

Word has reached us, through diplomatic channels,

that Anna and her brother, Alexi, wish to defect.

We know this is a plot devised by Alexi

to acquire the document,

and at the same time, capture American lntelligence agents,

thereby embarrassing the West.

ln spite of this trap, your mission,

should you choose to accept it, is to get the document

and bring Anna Kerkoska to safety.

As always, should you

or any member of your lM Force be caught or killed,

The Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

They've set a trap, using both Anna and the document as bait.

We go in to get Anna,

she tries to get the document out,

Alexi signals and they get both the document and us.

So, all we have to do is take the bait

without springing the trap.

Right.

Dana?

Yeah, the visas are all set.

Uh, Wilson and his publishing company

were only too glad to cooperate.

What about the real Marcos Danov?

He's already made his contribution, Willy.

He died three months ago, unnoticed.

Our equipment's on its way, Jim.

lt's a monthly shipment of auto and truck parts from London.

Visas and bills of lading.

Good, Barney.

Once Anna's free, the heat will be off.

So you'll wait three days,

change your identities and go out as tourists.

Jim, how far from the border is the mortuary?

Here's the mortuary.

lt's about four miles to the cemetery

and another five miles to the border.

The crossing on either side is protected by concealed mines.

What's the barrier made of?

Steel set in reinforced concrete.

To cut the odds down even further,

the gate itself is mined.

You touch it, and it blows you to bits.

And we welcome you

on behalf of the lntourist Bureau, Mr. Mackey.

Thank you.

Your passport will be held in the hotel safe

until your departure.

Your identity card.

You must have it with you at all times

and be prepared to show it on demand.

You are not to visit the homes of our citizens

without specific permission.

You are not to exchange money

or clothing with any citizens.

ls that understood?

Oh, yes.

Good.

l'm sure you will enjoy

your stay in our country, Mr. Mackey.

Yes, l'm sure l...

l'm sure l will.

l, uh...

l would like to make arrangements

for a funeral.

Really?

Who for?

Marcos Danov.

He was a hero of the Revolution.

l'm sure.

However, the state has certain charges,

even for a hero of the Revolution.

Yes, l know.

l know.

Marcos left all he had,

50 karoni.

He wanted to be buried in the Gormi Cemetery

outside of the city.

That's too inconvenient.

-We prefer the bodies have a... -l know, l know,

but Marcos was a hero of the Revolution!

He fought beside Premier Kerkoska!

Can it be done?!

Yes, it can be done.

Also, his last request

that Anna and Alexi Kerkoska be present.

That's their business.

However, the charges are payable in advance.

Oh, yes.

This is car two seven.

Anna Kerkoska, 2:00 p.m. surveillance report.

She is in the square as usual,

feeding the pigeons, as usual.

End of 2:00 p.m. report.

Don't turn toward me, Anna Kerkoska.

You told a friend of mine you wish to take a trip.

Your trip is being arranged.

Go to the telephone box at the edge of the square now

for your instructions.

We're separating.

l'll maintain the watch on Anna Kerkoska.

Janos will follow the street sweeper.

We have a photograph for pickup and development.

Who is this, please?

Anna Kerkoska.

Preparations are underway for your journey.

You will be contacted with further instructions

at the appropriate time.

Remember the name Marcos Danov.

Repeat it, please.

Marcos Danov.

Tell me who...

And we are very pleased that you could finally come

to discuss publishing the works of our authors, Mr. Nelson.

Well, as l hope l explained in my correspondence,

l was delayed because the company changed hands.

l had to get the approval of the new owners

before we could...

...before we could go on with the project.

Oh, yes, the new owners.

At any rate, we are pleased that you are here.

Thank you.

Forgive me, Alexi.

Ah, Anna. My sister.

Anna Kerkoska.

Mr. Nelson from America.

Miss Kerkoska.

Ah, the publishing gentleman, of course.

How good to meet you.

My pleasure.

Uh, forgive me a rudeness, Mr. Nelson,

but, Alexi, something very important has come up.

lf l could have just one moment of your time?

Comrade Orishev?

Mr. Nelson from America.

Mr. Orishev.

Now, be warned, Mr. Nelson.

Orishev is one of our more intense authors.

Now please excuse me.

Of course.

l shall look forward to speaking with you, Mr. Nelson.

Yes.

l was contacted in the park.

l spoke to someone on the phone.

They said we are to remember the name Marcos Danov.

Marcos Danov? What else did they say?

Only that we would be contacted again, nothing more.

ls it not as l told you?

They are helping us.

Yes, dear Anna.

Thanks to you.

Oh, enough about me.

No, not enough about you.

l want to hear much more.

Oh, but l want to hear about America.

-Mm. -ls everyone a gangster?

Yes. Yes?!

No, not quite everyone.

Of course not.

-There are publishers. -Too many.

And hillbillies and rock groups,

lndians, and everyone carries a gun.

Do you?

No, l don't carry a gun.

No?

Then perhaps our propaganda people are lying to us.

Could that be possible?

Oh, l don't think propaganda people ever lie,

but l, uh, suppose it is possible.

Please, would you give this

to the, uh... the tall gentleman with the gray hair?

l wish to see the note for Mr. Nelson.

Deliver it.

Well, that's a very risky thing to talk about

at a gathering like this, but l...

Thank you.

Headquarters. Emergency.

Something urgent's come up.

ls there a telephone l can use?

Yes, right over there.

Message reads, ''We have your sister.

''She is safe.

''Call the hotel to verify that she is not there,

''and then remain at the reception until further contact.

Destroy this.''

This is Petrovitch.

A call will be coming in to Minister Kerkoska's dasha

in the next few minutes.

l want it traced.

l will accept no excuses.

Stefan!

He is traveling on an American passport

under the name Charles McKay,

language teacher on sabbatical.

Arrived?

Two days ago by air.

ln residence at the Charnov Hostel.

His passport was checked.

lt is authentic.

So now we know who the American intelligence sent.

All we have to find out is how

he plans to help the Kerkoskas escape us.

Mr. Nelson?

ls anything wrong?

That note seems to have upset you.

No. lt's from my sister.

lt's, uh, not as important as she made it seem.

Oh. We women have a talent

for raising tempests in teapots.

Mr. Nelson, there is a telephone call for you.

Oh, thank you.

Excuse me.

Anna, do l detect

some special interest in Mr. Nelson?

Oh.

This is Paul Nelson.

We have your sister, Mr. Nelson.

She is safe.

How do l know that?

Paul? Paul, l came into my room.

Oh, Paul, l'm so afraid.

Paul, they said they wouldn't hurt me

if-if... if you just did what they asked.

They said...

Liz! Liz?!

Nothing will happen to your sister

if you do exactly what l say.

lf anyone asks where she is,

say she's on a bus tour for the next few days.

Well, what do you want?

l don't have any money to pay a big ransom.

Just some assistance, Mr. Nelson.

Tomorrow morning at 9:00,

go to the record shop that faces the Freedom People's Park.

You will be contacted.

Hello?

Hello?!

Stefan?

Stefan?!

Our trace indicates that the call came

from a telephone where there is no telephone.

Assign surveillance teams to that record shop right away!

That has been done, Colonel.

Where is my sister?

Never mind...

l told you l don't have any money.

lf anything happens to her, l swear l'll...

...securely in the free world.

Nothing will happen to your sister

if you give us certain assistance.

You want me to be a spy?

No, nothing so dangerous as that.

What happens if l won't give you my assistance?

We'll kill your sister, Mr. Nelson.

This operation is too important to international security

to allow for an empty threat.

He's lying.

She's all right now.

They won't kill her.

They haven't the stomach or nerve for it.

What l want you to do is very simple.

Tell Alexi Kerkoska you wish

to publish a book about his father.

Suggest his sister, Anna, write it.

lnsist on it, if necessary.

Suppose he says no?

Then tell him Marcos Danov suggested it to you.

Marcos Danov.

You'll be contacted at your hotel

and told what to do next.

So, we cannot lose contact

with the American agent now.

He is under constant surveillance.

So, he will be hearing from Nelson.

He will suggest Anna write a book about your father.

Be flattered, but resist.

Resist, but don't refuse.

Come on, move this thing out of the way!

Come on, move it!

Okay.

A man with grey hair and glasses came past you.

Which way did he go?

-l didn't see anybody. -You?

He went up the alley.

l didn't pay any attention.

Let's go.

My father loved that piece.

You play it so well, he couldn't help himself.

Oh, thank you.

So, you want to do a book about my father?

Yes, yes, l do very much.

The man my father was would surprise you, Mr. Nelson.

As long as it doesn't surprise the government too much, Anna.

lt's a pretty tune, isn't it?

Yes.

From the province where my father was born.

Ah.

Well, Mr. Nelson,

when shall we begin this book you believe l can write?

How about now?

All right.

My father used to bring me here

when l was a child.

Despite everything, he was a good father.

l remember once...

l was very small.

l stood beside him

when he condemned 30 men to be shot.

They were all friends.

He... he signed the papers

without the slightest hesitation.

They were counter-revolutionary.

And then...

he sat at home and cried for them.

l-l understood, and l didn't.

Oh, l hated him and loved him both at the same time.

Your people call my father a despot.

He was.

l call him an angel.

He was.

He lost an arm in the morning

and fought until nighttime.

He... he collected music boxes

and could sit for hours just looking at them.

He was all things good and all things bad,

but he was alive.

He loved our mother, Alexi's and mine.

And yet, he was often unfaithful to her.

l could never understand my father.

How could he be so many things at once?

Some men are.

You are, too, aren't you?

So formal,

so proper,

and yet, l can feel...

something l've never felt about any man.

So loving.

l don't want to hear excuses.

l want that American agent found!

Herr Petrovitch!

lf the American intelligence is watching me

and l am summoned here...

They will think it is official business,

and it is-- now, sit down, Alexi!

Have you ever seen this man before?

l don't think so.

He was at your reception yesterday.

ls that why l'm summoned here?

No.

You are here because l was ordered

by the chairman and the Central Committee

to remind you how important it is

that we acquire the document

your father entrusted to your sister

and to suggest subtly but firmly

that you are solely responsible

for the success of this plan if it succeeds!

And also solely responsible if it fails.

ln one case, you will be given a medal.

The other, you will be shot.

Why is it all the beautiful things

come at all the wrong times?

l don't know what that means.

Oh, how l love you.

l don't know you, and l love you.

And l-l know that l've never loved anyone before-- no one.

Just you... now.

There is no wrong time to love, Anna.

Yes, there is.

Now, this is the wrong time.

But this is all the time there is.

Love me, Paul.

l need you to love me.

Paul?

Hmm?

This is all there is for us.

Right now.

Walking through the trees in the dark.

lt's the end of our world.

Oh, no, Anna, it's not the end.

lt's just the beginning.

You have to understand.

We cannot see each other or be with each other.

lf there are problems, we can deal with them.

l've spent a whole lifetime...

You don't understand, Paul-- you're in danger.

Alexi and l... we're defecting.

He's to be purged.

Americans are helping us.

lf the Secret Police find out that you're involved with me...

Anna, l am involved with you.

l don't understand...

My sister has been kidnapped.

The note.

Yes, and the men who took her

said that l was to persuade you

to start writing your father's book,

and if l didn't, they would kill her.

Anna, l never thought l'd hear myself say

that anyone matters as much to me as you do.

But she is my sister, Anna.

For her sake and for yours and for mine,

and because we need each other,

we have to stay together.

Why didn't you tell me about her before?

They said if l told that they'd kill her.

But you told me.

lf there'd been any other way,

l never would have-- believe me.

l love you.

Hello?

This is Paul Nelson.

Your sister wants to speak with you, Mr. Nelson.

Paul... Paul, they-they told me

to give you this message.

Look in your newspaper funeral notices.

Marcos Danov is dead.

He'll be buried this afternoon.

Liz, are you all right?

You've checked into this Marcos Danov?

He was a hero of the revolution.

He died three months ago.

Tell the undertaker to do whatever they ask him.

Yes, Colonel.

Nelson was contacted

by American intelligence again, Colonel.

What message?

He is to take Anna and Alexi Kerkoska

to Marcos Danov's funeral.

How is it that you bring us this message, Nelson?

All l know is that my sister's life

depends upon our leaving here at 3:00,

driving to the state mortuary in Christovitch Square

for the funeral of a man named Danov.

They said you'd both understand.

Can he be trusted?

Yes, Alex.

We have less than 15 minutes.

We'll take your jewelry with us, Anna.

Now, is there anything else you want to take?

Oh, yes-- all of this.

Papa's music boxes,

my piano, everything.

Anna, Anna, music boxes, piano...

you know that's impossible.

l'll have the car brought around.

This cannot look like anything

but a routine matter.

Oh, l don't like wearing this.

Anna, we are going to a funeral.

We must look like we are going to a funeral.

-lt's almost 3:00. -Yes, come, come.

Oh, l almost forgot this.

You hardly have to bring a cigarette box.

Must we leave behind all of our memories?

All right, all right, l'll carry it.

No!

Oh, you're...

you're so clumsy with small things, Alexi.

l'll carry it.

Anna...

so much fuss over a cigarette box.

ls the document hidden inside?

The document? No, l just want it.

And the document is hidden inside.

Give it to me, little sister.

No, Alexi, Papa told me...

Papa is dead and... No, Alexi!

Give me the box! No!

So this is it.

The cylinder.

lt's in code.

A musical code.

All of this, it was just a trick.

You wanted the document.

l had no choice.

No choice?!

Colonel Pet...

What...

Anna, it's a disguise.

That's how we're gonna get you out.

You...

you're an American agent?

Yes.

You want the document, too?

We want you.

Just like my dear brother, Alexi.

You both made a pawn of me.

No.

Users!

Anything-- say anything, do anything

-just to get that document. -Anna.

You never loved me-- you used me.

Well, take it.

Take it and let me alone!

Anna, you have to come with us.

No.

Anna, everything l said to you was true.

l love you.

Anna...

l do love you.

Come with me.

Wh...

And Alexi?

We have to leave him.

Come.

The Kerkoska car has arrived.

A military driver, three passengers,

the Kerkoskas and Nelson.

They're entering.

The coffin is being wheeled into the mortuary.

The Kerkoskas and the American are in the parlor.

The coffin has been brought into the chapel.

Make no move until Alexi signals.

As long as they're all inside, we have no problems.

The coffin is in position, Minister Kerkoska.

All right, enough.

We may start for the cemetery now.

-Of course, Minister. -But first,

if you would be so good as to show my sister

somewhere where she could freshen up.

Oh...

You may have the hearse start for the cemetery.

l shall wait for my sister in the parlor.

We shall soon follow.

Of course, Minister Kerkoska.

The last rites of Marcos Danov

are concluded, and his coffin is now

on the way to Gormi cemetery.

Those of you wishing to join

his other friends at the graveside

are hereby invited to do so.

The coffin is in the hearse.

lt's on its way to the cemetery.

l thought the hearse was a decoy.

Now, where is Alexi?

He is in the parlor with his sister and the American.

l can see the three of them.

Why aren't they going to the cemetery?

What is the undertaker doing?

l don't see him right now.

Earlier he went into the parlor

with Minister Kerkoska and his sister.

Something isn't right.

Check the undertaker.

l'm going over there.

Get Petrovitch.

She's escaped.

Anna Kerkoska has escaped.

Come with me.

What happened?

There was nothing l could do, Petrovitch.

They overpowered the undertaker and then me.

What happened to Nelson?

They took him with them.

-Evidently their plan... -Where's my brother?

Don't let them hurt him!

How many? l didn't see.

Nelson was struggling with them when l was hit.

They'll kill him!

Go after the hearse. Take the girl

and Minister Kerkoska back to headquarters.

Search the area.

You, come with me.

Stay down! Get down!

You're free now, Anna.

Free?

l really don't know what that word means.

l've never been free before.

Now l'm free, and l don't know who l am.

You will.

You will.

Was it all a lie?

Your loving me?

None of it was a lie, Anna.

l knew it wasn't.

What is there now for us?

Whatever we want there to be.

Do you know?

Oh...

Will you wait for me to find out who this woman is?

This Anna Kerkoska,

now that she's free?

Will you wait before we decide

what we want there to be for us?

Yes, l'll wait.

Someday there will be time for us.
