That's our man.

We don't want anything to happen that
might prevent him from making contact.

Don't worry, we'll make it look good,
Mr. Randolph.

Thanks, Bob.

Do you think he'll lead us to
Constantine?

According to our source, he will. I'll
feel a lot more certain when he gets

there.

Just the one bag?

Oh, and this.

Open it, please.

I bought the case in Rome.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

Don, stop it. Hey, get an ambulance
right away.

Tonight's episode, The Replacement.

The August 12th arrival of Eric Cross at
a large eastern airport had been

eagerly awaited by the FBI.

His mission in the United States,
according to a bureau source, was to

an important espionage agent known only
by the code name Constantine.

However, the desperate act of a petty
thief was to prevent this from happening

and was to throw the FBI into one of its
most intriguing cases.

Here are the results on that microfilm,
Inspector.

It's a substitution cryptosystem.

using a series of dots and dashes in
place of letters.

This is Eric Cross, advise on operation
and return. It's signed, Kulik.

That's Colonel Kulik, head of
intelligence in the Eastern Zone.

This was obviously meant for
Constantine.

At least we have an idea where he may be
operating. That plane ticket Cross had

on him was for Chicago.

That's a starting place.

Cross just returned from surgery.

He suffered a severe concussion.

They relieve the pressure, but they
don't know the extent of any brain

for at least 24 hours.

All right, you say our sources are
confident that Cross is unknown to any

agents working for Constantine.

That's right.

Well, we have his instructions on the
first piece of microfilm.

And on the second, his contact, World
Photography Magazine.

And the countersign he was to use.

Blue skies and white clouds, the world
seemed at peace.

Is there any reason I couldn't take his
place?

Well, for one thing, he was due in
Chicago several hours ago.

Well, I could always say I was delayed
because I thought I was being followed.

I don't know, Lewis.

You know, there is a resemblance.

Particularly with the mustache.

This guy could be duplicated.

We also have quite a bit of information
on Cross's background.

I'd have time to familiarize myself with
it on the plane.

It's still pretty risky.

All we have to go on is speculations,
the magazine, the countersign.

And we can't be certain Cross is unknown
to their agents here.

It's true, but I think it's worth the
risk.

If I'm accepted by the contact in
Chicago, I'll not only be able to learn

Constantine's identity, but as his
replacement, the workings of the entire

network. The names of his agents, how
they pass the information, how much they

know. We may not get this chance again.

And if you're not accepted?

There's that possibility, of course.

All right, let us. I'll speak to the
director.

In the meantime, Tom, get in touch with
the airlines.

If anyone inquires about Eric Cross,
he's been temporarily delayed.

We need a little time.

How do you like it?

Excellent balance.

Perhaps a little too emotional.

But good. Very good.

I'm glad you like it.

I have a feeling this painting will hang
in a great museum one day.

I might not be around to see it.

You'll be around.

I hope so.

But if not, I saw it first, and that's
the important thing.

How do you feel today?

Like the weather, beautiful.

No headache?

Oh, a little one earlier, but I took one
of those miracle pills your cousin

prescribed, and presto.

I wish you'd follow the rest of his
advice.

A vacation?

Me? You think I'm one of those bourgeois
housewives? I'm a soldier. Even

soldiers need a rest.

Think of how beautiful the south of
France is this time of year.

Perhaps I could join you.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Remember that small inn outside of
Montpellier?

What was the name of it?

Tu vas bien.

All is well.

We had such wonderful times there.

Yes.

Well, say the word and we'll go.

We have to steal our way.

You know that's impossible.

Kula could never permit it.

And besides, there's still too much to
be done.

We've dedicated too much of our lives to
stop and rest now. You know that.

Yes, I know.

Now, is Carl finished copying the plans
for the first stage of the new anti

-tank device?

I'll go downstairs and see.

Yes? Ball?

Finished copying the plans?

Over there.

When's he arriving?

Mason's picking him up at the airport
now.

Does Valerie know yet?

Well, don't you think it's time you told
her?

I've tried.

I just haven't been able to find the
words.

Tell her the truth.

She's being replaced, sent home.

Constantine's of no more use to us.

And if she asks why?

Tell her that too.

That she's dying?

That she only has a few months to live?

That those headaches aren't due to
nervous tension, as your doctor wants

believe, but to an inoperable tumor.

How do you tell these things to someone?

You mean, Paul, how do you tell someone
you're in love with these things?

Valerie's a soldier. Her first concern
will be to the network.

Yes? Paul?

Mason, Cross wasn't on the plane.

He wasn't?

Have you checked?

Yes, there was a message. He'd been
delayed a few hours.

All right, you might as well wait there
for him.

What is it?

Cross didn't show up as scheduled.

Mason checked with the airlines.

There was a message from him saying he'd
be arriving on a later plane.

I don't like it, Paul.

He isn't even here yet, and already
there's a mix -up.

You're too suspicious.

That's how I survived.

None of us have ever seen him before.

You must be certain he's the right one.

He'll have the identification.

The counter sign.

We know enough about his background to
interrogate him.

I think there might be a better way,
Paul.

A much better way.

What kind of a man are you, Mr. Cross?

Well, I am quite an unusual man,
actually.

I've studied in universities all over
Europe.

I come from a very prominent family.

My father's a surgeon. My mother plays
the cello.

My idols are Marx and Napoleon.

And my passions are fine art, soccer,
and chess.

And I'm known to have an eye for
beautiful women.

There's one important thing I don't
know, Chet.

I got this scar.

It bothers me.

If we learn anything, I'll get it to you
as prearranged.

Good luck, love.

I almost wish that Carl were more
likable.

He really does such fine work.

What?

Likable agents usually end up working
for the wrong side.

I want this to leave immediately.

Yeah, I'll book Ali and Zurich.

Yes.

And if all goes well, we should have
the...

Second and final stages of the anti
-tank device by the end of the week.

I think it would be safer if we sent
each to a different gallery.

No need placing all our eggs in one
basket.

Paul, are you listening to me?

Yes, I'm listening.

But your ma's away.

What's the matter?

Well, I have something to tell you.

What's wrong, Paul?

I received a message from Colonel Kulik
last week.

I didn't hear about it.

You weren't supposed to.

I don't understand.

You are being replaced.

You are to return to Eastern Zone
headquarters.

I don't believe it.

Well, there must have been a mistake in
the communique. I'll get in touch with

Kulik myself.

There's no mistake.

Your replacement's arriving today.

Mason's picking him up at the airport.

Why, Paul, is it... Is it the way I
handle things?

No.

Is it my loyalty?

Your loyalty is beyond question.

Well, what are the reasons?

Julek does not give any reasons. He
gives orders and we obey them.

Perhaps he wants you to organize another
network, or maybe he feels that you

would be of greater value to him at
headquarters.

Whatever, you've been with this
operation long enough to know that these

aren't unusual.

Think of all those you've replaced.

This replacement, do I know him?

Perhaps by reputation.

It's Eric Cross.

Well, I'm sure that he's capable.

I guess there's nothing much I can do
about it, is there?

The colonel has spoken and... What about
you, Paul?

Did the communique say that... I'm to
stay here.

That's why I thought perhaps we could
get away by ourselves for a while. Visit

France.

That's out of the question.

This cross will need your help, and I
must see what headquarters have in store

for me.

Always them.

What about our lives?

Our lives?

To make this a better world to live in.

Now, I want that canvas sent off
immediately.

I see you're interested in photography.

That's my hobby, too.

Oh? My name's Cross.

Eric Cross.

How is the view from up there?

Blue skies, white clouds.

The world seemed at peace.

Mason Road.

Welcome to Chicago, Mr. Cross.

Is that your luggage?

Yes.

My car's up this way.

to take you to the Kimberly Hotel.

And what happens after that?

That's all I was told.

Constantine does know of my arrival.

I'm not sure that she's been told yet.

I see.

Are you sure he's the right one?

He recognized the magazine.

And he knew the counter sign.

He seems genuine to me.

All right.

Wait for me in the lobby.

Right.

Well?

Cross is here.

What time is this Julian Breska
arriving?

I told him to meet us outside of the
hotel at 3 .30.

And you are certain he can recognize
Cross after all these years?

Yes.

He said he knew him quite well.

Well, I just hope we are doing the right
thing.

C .G. 4 to C .G. 7.

C .G. 7, go ahead.

Tom, I just checked with our
surveillance in the hotel about the man

a few minutes ago.

Who is he?

Well, we don't know.

But before entering the elevator, he did
stop and talk to the contact who met

the Inspector Erskine at the airport
today.

We couldn't hear what they were saying,
but the contact did look at his watch.

After that, the man went up to the
Inspector's room.

Well, what about the contact?

He's still waiting in the lobby.

10 -4, Kirby.

You were right to make certain you
weren't being followed.

What's a few hours when it means the
safety of our entire operation?

Precisely.

I'm sure you'll understand our own
caution.

The fact that you are unknown to any of
us by sight makes us a little

apprehensive.

That's good. You're thorough.

How do you think you'll like Chicago?

Well, I haven't had a chance to see much
of it late yet.

It's a good city.

Easy to lose yourself in. That's very
important.

Of course, it doesn't have the charm of
some of your European cities, like

Zurich, Venice, Innsbruck.

I believe you went to the University of
Zurich, didn't you, Eric?

No, I went to Innsbruck.

For a time, at least.

A beautiful place to go to school.
Especially when you're interested in

You do ski, Eric, don't you?

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hello.

Are you a stewardess on the flight
today?

Yes, I hadn't forgotten.

Some people do.

It's the uniform.

Once we change into civvies, we lose all
our appeal.

You don't say.

Somehow I find that hard to believe.

Anyway, I didn't think I'd be free, but
it turns out I am.

And while I was visiting some friends
for a drink downstairs, I saw you

in here, so I thought... Oh, I'm
terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I shall

up for some time.

Oh, that's too bad.

Well, if you find you can make it after
all, here's where you can reach me.

Right -o.

Bye.

You're, uh... Reputation with the ladies
preceded you.

I might add, you have very good taste.

Thank you.

Well, we were talking of skiing, weren't
we?

Were we?

Oh, yes.

Well, that was a long time ago.

Why did you give it up, Eric?

It's quite simple, really.

Most women find one scar rather
intriguing.

But I thought two might be overdoing it
a bit.

You're not very subtle, are you, Stoner?

Perhaps not.

We'd better get going.

You know, I think I'm going to enjoy
this country enormously.

Did the man with him seem to buy the
stewardess bid?

I'm sure of it.

Still nervous, Joanne?

A little.

But I guess it's all part of being an
FBI secretary.

Thank you, Joanne. You did a good job.

I'll have Marty take you back to the
office now.

Thanks, Mr. Colby.

CG -7.

7, go ahead.

Stand by, please. We have a call for Mr.
Ward for you.

Tom, this just came in.

You're familiar with the name Julian
Breska?

Yes, sir. He's the sleeper we've had
under surveillance.

Yeah. Well, agents in Cleveland followed
him aboard a plane for Cedar Rapids

this morning. The plane stopped in
Chicago, and he got off.

According to the agents, he's just
gotten into a cab there.

Well, you think he has something to do
with this case?

Yes, I do.

Reska once owned a ski shop at
Innsbruck, the same time Cross was

university there.

So they must have known each other.

Reska's wearing a great check jacket.

The Attorney General has authorized his
arrest, if it becomes necessary.

Hold on a minute, Mr. Ward.

Listen, you'd better get the car.

Mr. Ward, Inspector Erskine and the
others are just leaving the hotel.

Don't let him out of your sight, Tom.

And keep me posted.

Yes, sir.

Paul.

Carl Elman. Eric Cross.

Good to meet you. How do you do? It's 3
.30. Where is he?

He'll be here.

There he is.

That looks like Breskin.

CG7 to CG4.

Four, go ahead.

Julian Breska, FBI.

The devil sent for Breska.

I did.

To check on you.

You took it upon yourself.

I only wanted to protect the network.

You stupid fool.

We've known all along that Breska was
being sought by the authorities, which

why we've never used him.

A report of this will be sent to
headquarters.

Now take me to Constantine.

I wish I could be pleased to meet you,
Mr. Corse, but under the

I understand how you feel.

Sit down.

Do you know the reason for this change?

Only Kulik knows that.

I see.

The sooner you brief me on the details
of this operation, the easier it'll be

for both of us.

I take it you're the only one who knows
the complete workings of it.

My subordinates know only what they have
to to perform their individual duties.

Without me, the network ceases to
function.

It's safer that way.

I agree.

You will have to be a little patient
with me.

My orders are to take charge
immediately.

Mr. Cross, it has taken me years.

to build this organization. You can't
expect to be told everything in the

few minutes.

Besides, I've been having these
headaches.

Nothing serious, of course.

I am having one now.

And I would like to rest.

Mr. Cross.

Later, we'll get down to work.

Dr. Davis.

Valerie Hendricks.

I want to see you.

No, I'll come there.

Colby.

Tom, I just received a phone call from
our liaison representative in Bonn.

There's been a severe shakeup in the
Eastern Zone espionage headquarters.

Colonel Kulik has been liquidated.

Eric Cross is being recalled effective
immediately.

You get that information to him?

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Renaissance Gallery.

Yes, I wonder if you could give me some
information on the Jacopo painting in

your catalog.

Number 32.

They're assigning someone else to take
your place.

Name we have is Elman.

Carl Elman, do you know him?

As far as I can make out, he's third in
command.

I don't think he's heard about his
promotion yet.

Constantine is a woman by the name of
Valerie Hendricks.

We ought to move in now.

I'd like to wait a while.

She's on the verge of giving me details
of the entire operation.

What happens when Elman finds out that
he's taking over?

Well, let's hope we get the information
first.

The reason Constantine is being recalled
is they found out that she was

suffering a terminal illness.

Gotta move fast.

If anything happens to her mind, they'll
never put her in a hospital. She knows

too much.

What do you think?

I like it very much.

But I'm afraid I have to talk to my wife
first and convince her it won't spoil

the color scheme in the living room.

It turned out to be more expensive than
the painting.

I'll be back. Thank you.

Rhodes, do you have the address of
Valerie's doctor?

Well, now.

Please, doctor, no more lies.

These headaches aren't caused by nerves,
are they?

A long rest won't kill them.

Where did you get that idea?

It suddenly came to me. Things began to
make sense.

I'm not a fool. Don't treat me like one.

But you're wrong.

Am I?

Look at me and say that.

Val, what do you want from me?

It is my life. I have a right to know.

Let me speak to her, Joe.

I'm glad you got my message.

It's true, isn't it?

I'm dying.

How much longer do I have?

A few months.

But we can make them good ones.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I love you.

All those years wasted.

All those long, beautiful years.

I had a feeling you'd be here. I know
why you want to learn more about my

organization. Can't it wait?

She's upset.

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid it can't.

He's right.

It's much too nice a day to spend in the
gallery.

Let's go somewhere else to talk.

Yes, I know just the place.

I think I've seen these trees at least a
hundred times, but I've never really

seen them until now.

So lovely.

Make any sense to you?

Yes, I think so.

I know you're anxious to get down to
work.

It is getting late.

Time is such a sneak, loping along back
there behind you,

lulling you into an illusion that you
can keep ahead of it.

And then one day, in a moment, it's
rushed by.

You've lost forever.

I've felt a chill. The sun's going down.

We'll go to my hotel. It's not far.

Mason?

Where's Cross?

He went to pick up Valerie. They haven't
come back yet.

Why?

I just received this message from
headquarters.

Cross is to return home immediately.

Time to take his place.

You'd better close the gallery.

There's so much to remember.

You were telling me how you got the
material out.

After Ellman copies the formulas onto
canvas, you ship them to... Oh, one

Three European galleries.

The Aalborg in Zurich, the Lubeck in
Brussels, and the Kroll in Munich.

I see. And who are your contacts for
getting the information here?

One is an engineer who helped develop
the device.

John... Welspaw.

He worked on stages two and three.

I'm sorry. If I had my book, it would be
so much easier.

Over the years, I would keep notes to
help me remember.

Where is the book now?

It's in my safe.

Have Paul bring it here.

Hello?

Are you all right, Val?

Bring it right over.

I'll take that, Paul.

I don't understand it.

I've been ordered to take charge of the
operation.

i don't believe it you will the book

What's this all about?

Paul.

Kulik is dead.

Oh, no.

Your orders are to leave immediately,
Eric.

What about me?

You'll follow just as soon as you tell
me the things I have to know.

Paul, I want you to see that Eric leaves
tonight.

You shouldn't have any trouble.

But in case you do... Ready?

Will you be all right?

Don't worry about me.

She'll be fine, Paul.

Just as long as everyone cooperates.

Back to the rule of the jungle.

You should start packing.

Paul, what do you suppose will happen to
Valerie once she's told Elman what he

wants to know?

She'll be sent back.

Those were the orders.

Those were Kulik's orders.

Kulik is dead.

They wouldn't hurt her.

Wouldn't they?

You said it yourself.

The rule of the jungle. The survival of
the fittest.

Well, Valerie isn't fit. She could have
a stroke at any moment.

Suppose she were to end up in an
American hospital, delirious, talking

things this government would dearly like
to know.

There's only one way they can make sure
that won't happen, and that's to kill

her. Why should that concern you?

Because I'm not going back to their
jungle.

Are you?

After that we'll see.

I've got to rest.

Just as soon as you finish deciphering
those notes.

Then please, let me take one of my
pills. My head's about to explode.

You must stay alert, Valerie.

We can't risk any mistakes.

Carl.

What is it?

Cross is downstairs.

He wants to speak to you.

Well, I told you that he was to leave
tonight.

He refuses to go until he sees you.

He says it's important.

All right. Let's see what he wants.

Valerie. Paul told me you were
downstairs.

That was to get them out of here.

What do you want?

I want to help you.

I'm not Eric Cross. My name is Erskine.

I'm with the FBI.

FBI.

Colonel Kulik didn't die. He was
liquidated.

Elman intends the same thing for you.

Kill me, but... But why?

You know too much, Valerie.

Once they get the information they need
from you, they won't risk your being

taken into custody in this country.

I'm a member of the organization.

They wouldn't take what little time I
had left.

Wouldn't they?

Yes.

I suppose they would.

All the... All the years I worked.

My reward.

Where is he? You said he wanted to see
me.

What are you doing?

Saving Valerie's life.

Let's go.

Must be upstairs.

Is there another way out?

There are some stairs on the roof that
lead down through the next building.

I'm alive.

May I say goodbye?

The years weren't all wasted, were they,
Paul?

I mean, we did have each other.

And we had some very good times.

There could have been so much more.

Whenever you're ready, Mr. Erskine, I
will be willing to cooperate.

Carl Ellman recovered from his wounds
and, along with Paul Stoner, Mason

and four others, was convicted of
conspiracy to commit espionage.

They were sentenced to federal
penitentiaries.

Valerie Hendricks pleaded guilty and was
confined to a hospital by prison

authorities.
