All I know is that it's a government emergency.

And they have insisted on maximum security.

The gentlemen have arrived, sir. They're in your elevator.

We're ready.

Walter! It's been a long time.

Kenneth, it's good to see you. Welcome to the west coast.

Dr Kenneth Maynard is the director of the U.S National Security Agency.

- I'd like you to meet Dr. Kate Westin. - How do you do?

- Dr. Westin. - And her husband, Dr. Dan Westin.

- Dr. Maynard. - Dr. Westin.

We're up to our ears and doctors.

I received your wire. "Emergency arriving Klae corporation now".

You've saved my life before with a Klae resource and all I can do is yell.

- Help. - That's what we're here for.

Uh, this is special agent Kirk, SIA, and Ross, DFI.

- Gentlemen. - May we use your screen.

We, uh, have some slides on the suspect.

Oh certainly uh you can set up right there.

Paula Simon, my executive assistant. One of Washington's

brightest and best and I am afraid to say a traitor to her country.

This brilliant attractive young lady is the

spearhead of a major espionage penetration.

She has stolen vital defense information.

- Pentagon secrets? - Documents.

Important papers.

If you know that Paula Simon's such a such a big threat,

why don't you crack down on her and put her away?

I'm afraid there is an element of mystery involved here.

An intermediary?

Yes, a new kid on the block.

She's had top-secret clearance for years.

Every day she's checked out by body search, x-ray, tighter than any airport.

In short, we don't know how she does it or who receives it,

and until we do we're vulnerable.

Can you handle it?

We ought to wrap this up in a matter of hours.

I wouldn't be too sure.

Show them the, uh, homicide pictures.

Homicide?

It's more than a murder. This happened two days ago.

In a downtown street in Washington D.C in broad daylight.

Nobody saw anything. Nobody heard a gunshot.

He was an SIA agent one of the best. He was assigned to Paula Simon.

It's important for you to realize before you sign this

contract that this is a very dangerous proposition.

Washington's a beautiful city.

I really wish they hadn't driven us by

the spot where the SIA agent was kiilled.

I still don't see how they managed to shoot a man in broad

daylight on a crowded street and nobody saw or heard anything.

- You still in the room? - Yeah, I'm right here.

- I'll never get used to it. - You want me to put on my face?

No, don't be silly. You need some rest after the flight.

We don't have time for rest. We're in the national security agency.

Do you care to tell me what the game plan is?

- Well didn't Walter call you? - No!

Oh, well it's all set for you to apply to Maynard's staff

for a job as an assistant to Paula Simon.

That way you can open the doors so I can get in to

follow a document which they're going to plant on her.

Marked eyes only.

And everywhere that Paula goes you'll be sure to follow.

Yes I, uh, I feel like a glorified bug.

Ohh!

Mate service.

Later, thank you, where I'm busy.

Later, thank you.

Dan I'll never get used to it.

You're the only man in the world who can stand stark

naked at 12 noon in front of the Washington monument.

Dan? Dan?

Here, let me help you.

And remember everywhere that Paula goes Danny's sure to go.

I see that Dr. Maynard has already had extensive interviews with you.

Apparently he's anticipating an increased workload.

He interviewed several people while he was on the west coast.

Well I apologize for treating you like a job applicant.

Why do you want to work for the government?

The usual reasons, I want to live in Washington.

Prestige, pension, maybe even a little patriotism.

Just an old-fashioned girl.

I don't believe you, Dr. Westin.

Why not?

Well nobody takes a giant pay cut just to live in Georgetown.

I'm familiar with this think tank you're discarding like an old shoe.

The Klae corporation has far more prestige than anything on Pennsylvania avenue.

Not if you spend your life in a lab coat nursing a computer.

- What about the Klae resource? - No way.

That's their top secret glamour package.

You probably know more about it than I do.

Yes?

You have an eyes only from Secretary Orbach.

Send him in.

Well I have to sign away my life.

I'm impressed.

Well, the papers aren't all that exciting.

- What does "eyes only" mean? - You can't take with you.

You have to read it while they stand guard.

They stay here until you sign it and back to.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to terminate this interview.

I have my in-house homework to do.

Why don't I come back tomorrow?

All right, my secretary will set up the appointment.

Fine.

See you.

Thank you.

All right, George.

We'll share the joy

falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me that I'm too young to know

I love you so and you love me

A day will come

if we just wait a while

No tears for us

Think loving wear a smile

Our dreams have magic because

we'll always stay love this way

Where are you?

I'm crash down in a phone in some club.

The air conditioning is freezing my ears off.

Well, what did Paula do with the document?

Oh, nothing. Well, she read it

Clear through, so did I.

- Over her shoulder. - Yeah, it was fascinating.

How bad it was?

Bless you.

It was a position paper on the soltolks full of figures on

missile launch sites polaris submarines of course it was a fake.

- No hidden camera? - No.

No secret tape recorder, no microphone.

- No miniaturized gizmo of any kind. - How'd she do it?

Well, this may be an important first for the Klae resource.

Huh, we fall flat in our face.

- What do you make of her? - She's a extremely attractive woman.

And I hate to say this but you should stay close to her.

- Yeah, you said it. - I heard me.

Enjoy the supper club.

Maybe you should follow her back to her apartment.

But now remember what Maynard said, it's very dangerous.

- Gotta cut it short, bye. - No tears for us.

Think loving where we smile

Our dreams have magic because

we'll always stay in love this way

our day will come

Talk close to my ear, under the music.

- Come on this place isn't bugged? - Probably not.

But I don't want to take any chances.

Paranoid. There's a couple of government gum shoes back there by the bar.

Tony you and I know that I'm not peddling papers just for the money.

There's more to it.

Any different to the rest of us?

I've got something on you and I don't want to know what it is. I just want to help you.

But I'm not just another one of Tony Bernard's little foxes.

Maybe it started like I have not affair but uh I care.

A lot more than I ever expected.

- And I don't want anything to happen. - What's that supposed to mean?

Just what it sounds like, the threat.

Well, not for me. I'm the contractor.

Do you know that SIA agent?

The one that was hit in the street? It was my fault.

Who fault?

I caught side of him telling us outside the Capitol Club Brunch.

I was afraid he saw you hand me the press program

with the code book inside so I phoned the contractor.

In less than an hour he was dead.

I don't even know how they did it.

- Tony I want to out. - So do I.

But there is no way out.

Thank you.

Come on, not did to.

Talking with music, Tony, It's the only way to make sure.

He want secrets, right? Tell them that I have a big one.

Came in this afternoon the position papers and Soltolks.

Missile bases, atomic straight capabilities.

The whole polaris deployment.

Tell them that this is it.

All right, one last big one for free.

- In exchange for our freedom. - Right. It's I'd said.

Need some documents in case they agree.

I'll get them for you in the morning.

It works. Will you get it?

It works.

Uh, poor kitties quite cold.

Well, that's how she does it.

Paula Simon has a photographic memory.

Her personnel file backs it up.

Straight A's in college. Phi Beta Kappa.

I can buy it up to a point I mean she's perfect on facts and figures.

Well, a lot of people have brains like computers but she has total recall.

Do we just accept that she can remember

page after page on one reading.

She soaks it up like videotape.

Then later, when she's alone,

she types out a transcript, word for word.

And according to your report Paula wants to call it off.

Yeah she sent Tony Bernard to, uh, we'll get them both off the hook.

Send him where, see whom.

Klae resource can do a lot of things but sometimes

it's a little difficult to be in two places at once.

Yes, it took half the night to find out about Paula Simon.

It needed a rest.

I mean, we know she's guilty but we can't prove it.

We've gotta catch her actually passing a document.

We need witnesses, photographs. Court evidence.

I suggest we keep the Klae resource zeroed in on her until she sets up a drop.

Wake up with Jack Pierce. Washington's meanest columnist.

I'd catch you up at dawn did your golden

throat put the supper club out of business.

No, but you're warm. Paula is going out of business.

The contractor tells her what to do.

She knows what she's up against. So she wants to make a deal.

If she wants a little more money it might be arranged.

- She wants to buy her way out. - With what?

An eye is only position paper on the Solttalks.

Missiles, bases, subs. She'll give it away for free.

In exchange for and end the deal.

I can tell you right now she's in no position to deal.

They pay her for pocket money, Tony.

They could take it for free any time. Cut her by the throat with both hands.

She means it and so do I, Jackie. Tell the contractor it's all over.

- She got to you. - That's right.

Tell him, Jackie. Tell him we want out.

Nobody owes, nobody gets mad, nobody ever says a word.

He's got 24 hours to come back. Tell them!

No! No!

Downtown Washington was the scene of another shooting today.

As an unknown assailant made an unsuccessful

attempt to gun down popular singer Tony Bernard.

Witnesses recognized Bernard as he fled from the scene apparently unhurt.

But no one has been able to locate him as yet.

Chief Gordon Hughes has stated he's

determined to apprehend a sidewalk sniper.

Whose identity remains a mystery at this time. And now...

The police don't know any more than we do.

The same was the SIA.

Broad daylight, plenty of people, no witnesses.

Well, according to the contract you call shots it's in your lap.

We know that Tony told Paula try and get them

off the hook with someone call the contractor.

Looks like their deal was rejected.

You feel then that that was a warning to Paula.

Well, we know they won't have to keep giving them documents.

I'll talk to her she's bound to be frightened.

Maybe I can find out which way she's going to jump.

Keep your interview appointment.

Meanwhile I see if I can't get the Klae resource to come

up with some kind of a pattern of these bits and pieces.

Contractor the way they kill people or what government they're working for.

I mean we could find out who's behind all this maybe we could tie it together.

Wouldn't the tv news crew have shot more footage than that?

Oh I'm sure there's a role of outtakes with WNXL.

I'd like to take a look at it.

Turn up the sound.

There's a demolition job down the street.

Yeah that would certainly cover the noise of a shot.

With or without a silencer.

Those hot hats.

Probably construction workers from the building site.

You know those stills you showed us of the SIA murder

weren't there hard hats hanging around on those two.

- Come to think of it there were. - But on a different street.

Stop! Look there.

In the background, that orange van.

Probably belongs to the crew working on the street.

Wasn't there one of those in the Stills too.

I'll check it, they're always digging up the streets.

Stop!

- What's that mark on the curb? - an arrow some numbers.

It's a surveyor's mark.

I see those all over the place what does it prove.

I don't know. I think I'll find out.

- Please excuse the interruption. - Oh, no problem.

How long will it take to learn the classification systems?

Uh, with your IQ, less than a week.

I know how to cram, but that would take a photographic memory.

Is something wrong?

I'm sorry, I guess I'm not ready to break in a new assistant.

- I'm used to working alone. - You seem awfully jumpy.

Listen let's stop playing interview.

I'm pretty good at reading palms and you're no starry-eyed job applicant.

You're with the Klae resource, aren't you?

I told you I work for the Klae corporation.

Can I trust you? Don't answer me because I've got no choice.

A friend of mine was shot at this morning.

He's gone disappeared. Am I talking to the right person?

Keep talking.

I'm way in over my head.

I've I've done something important... wrong.

I'm listening.

It's involving a breach of security, espionage, probably treason.

You stole secret documents?

I want to arrange for my arrest.

Who did you sell them to, Paula?

I can't tell you because I don't know.

But whoever they are, they kill people.

They done it before. They shot at Tony this morning, just to keep me in line.

He called me on the telephone to tell me that he couldn't see me anymore,

that he had to go into hiding.

I'm alone and I'm afraid.

I want to confess my part of it and I want protection.

The man to see is your boss, Dr. Maynard.

- I can't, he trusts me. - Paula he already knows.

- Why did you do it? - What difference does it make?

You work for me for six years.

You had a perfect record. Not even a parking ticket.

- And then out of the blue. - Out of the blue?

Eight years ago I started taking little blue pills.

Then I started taking little yellow pills

to help me stay trim and sharp and perfect.

Pretty soon it was little packets of white powder.

Glassine bags, a spoon, a needle.

They call it shooting crystals.

It was nearly three years before I broke the addiction.

Nobody knew a thing about it.

Until one day I got a telephone call from

somebody who knew my connection.

A little pusher who sold things to close friends at parties.

They told me to contact Tony Bernard.

It was blackmail.

I was alone.

I went alone.

All right, Paula. We'll help you.

But you're no good to us locked up.

I believe you when you say you don't know who's on the receiving end.

But you're going to help us find out.

- Help you? - You're going to keep coming to work.

Keep feeding, them keep the lines of communication.

But Tony's gone. I don't know who to call.

They'll contact you. When they do...

- you decoy them in. - He's right you're our only link.

If you break then we can't break the ring.

Hi, inspector.

Draft Instruments send a laser.

Dino dropped it. I think this site's been out of line.

We better test.

Joey, take a look at the gun barrel.

We need cartridges there's a box in the locker.

You will stop this?

Hey, don't get that laser light in your eye. It can blind you.

Joey, it's gonna line up with the barrel.

We test in the garage, on a surveyor's tripod and we close off the area.

Okay.

Dino, Fred, come on.

- Sure try pot. - In a test laser sight.

Just to the telescopics.

Ah, it's too hard to line up on a moving target.

Bernie, go set some targets, are we?

Right.

Okay, come on. Over there.

You don't need a clear target. It's good in shadows.

If it's lined up right where you see the red dot.

That's where the bullet hits.

All right, time from the start.

Now.

- Five seconds. - Good.

The moving target will shave off half the time.

Bernie, clamp this down. Make sure it's solid.

And putting a in my car, huh?

My column's going stale, Paula.

People don't want to read about congressmen punching each other.

Well, why come to me. I don't have any gossip.

Thank you.

You're on the inside where it counts.

What do you want, Jack?

Tips, tidbits, it's called muckraking.

Well our office hasn't had a scandal in years.

There's no muck to rake.

But you pick up bits and pieces of information.

Nothing that would interest Jack Pearson readers.

You'd be surprised who some of my readers are.

And how much they'll pay for the right information.

Tell much you all, Paula.

Tell your readers I've changed my mind.

- I'm I'm willing to stay on. - We'll have to prove it, Paula.

I'm doing a column on the Soltalks. I need background material.

I'll get it for you tomorrow.

Why not today, say, uh three o'clock up in my office.

No. I'll meet you in front of the Columbia building.

- It's not a bit public? - It's better in plain view.

I'm under surveillance. Second table from the right.

SIA, DFI, nothing but the best.

I'll carry a magazine this week's edition of capital forum,

you carry one too. I'll drop it and we'll make the switch.

3 p.m in front of the columbia building.

Right.

Elaine, telephone please.

Jack Pearson for you Nick. He's made contact.

Yeah, Jack.

She agreed to the drop.

But I'm afraid the lady has turned against you.

How can you tell?

I know every agent in this town.

These are Dr. Maynard's personal bodyguards.

And they'd never be assigned to her unless the lady is cooperating.

- She can hurt us. - Not if we shut him up first.

You go wait for her. We'll see that she never gets to you.

And Pearson...

when you see the red dot on her, just walk away.

Paula Simon?

Yeah, Pearson says she's turned against us.

He's got a set up to meet him at 3 p.m outside the columbia building.

Dino, set up the work flags at 2:45.

I'll paint the arrow on the curb at target zero.

Bernie, start your jackhammer at uh 2:50.

We'll make the hit of three.

It's a good guard, damn it.

No once peolpe in around it.

Mices in the pipes and he goes crazy.

Lock up as soon as we pull out, huh?

Tell Modley that he's going to call me on the officer's phone.

Yes, sir. I'll tell him.

Thanks.

- Hello! - Walter.

Dan?

Dr. Maynard is coming on with me. Where are you?

Walter, walter. Listen to me, we've got to act quickly.

Paula Simon's in trouble.

She...

Hello? Dr. Westin?

Hey Marty. I put your phone into the office jack.

Be sure to get Pete's call for Mr. Polanza okay.

Thanks.

Dan?

I wonder where he could be.

He's using the Klae resource to try to trace a

connection to some construction work in the district.

What about the code name, the contractor.

That's probably what started him in that direction.

- But we're afraid it's a dead end. - We better get going.

Have your men set up to stay up.

Paula, remember your meeting Pearson at three.

It doesn't feel right something's going to go wrong.

See you later. Were a good job.

I'm never gonna take you hud.

Oh, don't Mike. What's wrong with you anyway?

Open up.

- Get time? - Move one point three.

Job over for us.

- See you next time around. - So long.

Cab! Cab!

Don't look back. I don't want you to get my description.

Take my change, box. I only carry five bucks.

I don't want your money, start driving Columbia building.

I can't steer your arm around my neck.

If I let you go you don't look around?

Never saw you. I don't want to see you. I hope I never see you.

- When we get there you don't look back. - Don't look back.

After I get out you wait a couple of hours and go to the Mayfair hotel.

- Mayfair Hotel. - For Dr. Westin.

- Dr. Westin. - And we can fare and a big tip.

Can driver and a big... You're not going to knock me over?

- Honest? - Honest.

- But don't look back or else. - I promise.

- What time is it? - Uh, uh close to three.

- How close? - Oh, five minutes.

- How's it look, Joe? - Good.

Now what time is it?

Uh, two to three.

Get out of the way.

Okay.

Run, run!

Yes, we received the commendation, doctor Maynard.

He's a little upset by the size of his fee.

He appreciates the way the Klae resource tracked on Paula Simon.

and identified the receivers of the stolen documents.

But he doesn't see what that had to do with the final capture.

You know he's right.

- It is hard to see. - Don't do that.
