And you. 00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:32.196 Well, then I am in illustrious company. 00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:35.716 Have you found your missing scientist yet? 00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:38.196 Are you offering him back to me? 00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:41.396 No, I told your fellow - Palmer - 00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:43.196 I told him we don't know where he is. 00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:46.196 There was a man in London - he tried to sell him to me, 00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:48.036 wasn't convinced. 00:30:48.060 --> 00:30:50.196 I think he was just using me to inflate the price. 00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:53.196 We assumed Professor Dawson was passing secrets to you. 00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:57.196 Oh, I can assure you we have approached him over the years, 00:30:57.220 --> 00:31:00.196 We have appealed to the political sentiments of his youth. 00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:04.196 We have offered him money, women, men, anything he wants, 00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:08.196 but, sadly, without success. Then where is he? 00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:11.220 You think I'd lie to you? Colonel Stok. 00:31:12.420 --> 00:31:15.036 But here we are, 00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:17.196 guided by the hand of fate - 00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:21.196 for as England loses one physicist, 00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:24.196 I am delighted to offer you another, 00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:26.220 a scientist of the highest renown... 00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:32.196 ...but one who does not appreciate our benevolent regime. 00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:35.196 And she's more trouble than we care for now. 00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:37.196 We want to let her go. 00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:41.196 Yes, Dr Polina Lavotchkin. Dr Lavotchkin is dead. 00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:43.196 No. You told me yourself. 00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:46.220 I was mistaken. I remember it quite clearly. 00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:50.196 The day before I left Moscow for the last time, 00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:55.196 you told me she had been arrested - 20th February, 1953 - 00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:58.196 on charges of treason and conspiring against Stalin. 00:31:58.220 --> 00:32:03.036 Dr Lavotchkin had confessed, of course, and been executed. 00:32:03.060 --> 00:32:06.196 Her execution was delayed 00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:10.236 while she was giving further confessions to incriminate others. 00:32:10.260 --> 00:32:14.196 This was quite routine and would normally not alter the outcome, 00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:17.876 but, three weeks later... 00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:20.196 you must remember... 00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:26.196 you would have just returned home to London, reunited with your wife, 00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:29.196 settling into your London routine - what happened? 00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:32.196 Stalin died. Yes... 00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:34.396 Yes, a day of great sadness. 00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:36.876 But the condemned were saved. 00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:38.716 As was Dr Lavotchkin. 00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:42.220 Now, that didn't mean that she was entirely free, of course. 00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:47.196 She went to Sverdlovsk-45, a closed city, 00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:50.196 where she led the uranium enrichment programme. 00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:52.220 And led it very well, I must say. 00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:57.196 But she's not happy, Mr Dalby. 00:32:57.220 --> 00:33:00.220 She never has been, not since you left. 00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:07.220 We are prepared to let her to go. 00:33:13.060 --> 00:33:14.220 What do you want, Colonel? 00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:19.196 What your missing professor would not give us. 00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:21.220 You see, there is a dossier. 00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:26.740 I know of its existence, although it is beyond my reach. 00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:31.220 This great advance in weaponry: the neutron bomb. 00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:38.196 If you want Dr Lavotchkin, you will exchange this dossier... 00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:41.196 for her. 00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:44.220 That's our deal, between you and me. 00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:01.196 Hey - it's Mark, right?
