colonel donjev had been trailing donfield and mr. solo for weeks. he took these photographs with a telephoto lens. here. you can see. he caught them entering the white house for conferences. now, these tape recordings, they are conversations from the white house to donfield. the colonel discovered a direct line and tapped it. - what is all this-- - sh-sh. excellency, why should colonel donjev kill himself? it is all your fault. don't you know that even now? he failed kolodin. we've exposed him. have destroyed kolodin after my promotion. i'd it all in my hands and i threw it away. - really, what have you-- - will you stop talking? i'm afraid, excellency. you've thrown away all our lives. when general kolodin discovers that we destroyed his agent.
