A Different Loyalty

TROOP!

ATTENTION!

BY THE LEFT!

QUICK MARCH!

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT...

THERE'S EVIDENCE

THAT SOMEONE THEY CALL "AGENT VIRGIL"

MAY BE A CONVERT.

THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE LEAKS IS SOMEONE

WHO WORKS INSIDE THE FOREIGN OFFICE IN LONDON,

AND HIS K.G.B. CODE NAME IS "HOMER."

MI6 HAVE MODIFIED THEIR ORIGINAL LIST OF SUSPECTS

AND PUT GEORGE QUENNELL RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK LONDON'S RIGHT.

YOU THINK WE SHOULD ARREST HIM?

MMM, NOT YET.

LET'S MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE FIRST, SHALL WE?

THANK YOU, DICK.

GOOD MORNING, MR. QUENNELL.

I'LL MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS

FOR YOU TO JOIN ME IN MOSCOW.

WHAT'S THIS OTHER CASE?

MINE. I'M GOING, TOO.

DOES STANLEY KNOW?

YES, HE ORDERED IT.

BRITISH AUTHORITIES

HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT GEORGE QUENNELL

AND ANGUS PETHERBRIDGE,

THE TWO DIPLOMATS WHO FLED ENGLAND ON MAY 25TH, 1951

AND LATER SURFACED IN MOSCOW,

HAD BEEN SOVIET SPIES

SINCE THEIR RECRUITMENT AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

THE LENGTH OF THEIR DECEPTION AND THE EASE OF THEIR ESCAPE

WOULD INDICATE THAT THE K.G.B.

HAS PENETRATED BRITISH INTELLIGENCE

AT THE VERY HIGHEST LEVEL.

SALLY!

COME AND JOIN US FOR LUNCH.

OH, I JUST CAME TO PICK UP MY MAIL.

ALL OF US CAME TO BEIRUT

WITH SOME OTHER PURPOSE IN MIND, DEAR.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

WE'VE MISSED YOU, SALLY!

YOU BECOME A RECLUSE

EVERY TIME PAUL GOES "BYE-BYE."

WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

OH, IF I MUST.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME

AND THAT BUGGER T.E. LAWRENCE

WAS I HAD THE BALLS TO BECOME A BLOODY MUSLIM.

WHO'S THAT?

THAT'S OLD RANDOLPH CAUFFIELD.

YOU MET HIS SON, LEO?

MIDDLE EAST STRINGER WITH THE LONDON TIMES.

LEO!

COME AND MEET THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN BEIRUT!

OH, GOD.

LEO, THIS IS SALLY TYLER.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU, SALLY.

AND YOU, LEO.

LEO'S A BIT OF A LONER, SALLY,

BUT WE STILL THINK OF HIM AS ONE OF US.

WELL, TO BE IN SOCIETY IS SIMPLY A BORE,

BUT TO BE OUT OF IT IS MERELY A TRAGEDY.

AT LEAST HE'S NOT LIKE THESE YOUNGER JOURNALISTS OUT THERE.

THEY ARE SO N.Q.O.C.M.D.

"NOT QUITE OUR CLASS, MY DEAR."

PLEASE, PETER. I'M SURE SALLY GREW UP

BLISSFULLY UNENCUMBERED BY D.P.L.T.O.C.

"DREADFUL PHRASES LIKE THAT, OLD CHAP."

PETER'S A LITTLE LECHEROUS

AND OPINIONATED OLD BASTARD, ISN'T HE?

HE'S ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS.

WHICH, OF COURSE,

ARE BOTH DEEPLY ADMIRABLE QUALITIES IN A MAN.

BUT NOT THAT CLOSE.

I KNOW.

AND WHO BROUGHT THE AMERICANS TO ARABIA

IN THE FIRST BLOODY PLACE?

I DID.

I SUPPOSE I SHOULD GO AND RESCUE MY FATHER

BEFORE HE FALLS DOWN.

IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU, SALLY.

AND YOU, LEO.

WOW, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU.

YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

I NEED MY BEST FRIEND AROUND

TO HELP ME GET THROUGH THESE THINGS.

OK, WHERE'S PAUL THIS TIME?

OH, CAIRO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW WELL YOU MANAGE

WHEN HE GOES OFF ON HIS ASSIGNMENTS.

OH, I'M USED TO IT.

OH, YOU KNOW ME,

I GET LONELY GOING TO THE BATHROOM ON MY OWN.

WHERE ARE THE TWINS?

OH, I JUST GOT THEM INTO BED.

GO UP AND SAY GOOD NIGHT TO THEM.

THEY WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU!

YES, GO ON.

I'D LOVE TO. OK.

"CAPTAIN BIGGER'S EYES

"WERE COLD AND HARD LIKE PICNIC EGGS.

"IT'S THE CODE, SIR. THE CODE.

"THAT'S A BIG WORD WITH THE MEN

"WHO LIVE ON THE FRONTIERS OF EMPIRE."

AYE, MATEY.

OH, HELLO.

JOAN OF ARC'S ARRIVED.

CHILDREN ARE GENERALLY

MUCH NICER THAN GROWNUPS, AREN'T THEY?

I MEAN, THEY NEVER COMPLAIN, THEY NEVER CRITICIZE.

AND IF THEY GET CROSS-- IT JUST BLOWS OVER.

I JUST GET ALONG WITH CHILDREN

SO MUCH BETTER THAN ADULTS.

I REALLY MISS MY OWN.

THEY'RE IN ENGLAND RIGHT NOW WITH THEIR MOTHER,

TILL I GET SORTED OUT HERE.

MY WIFE AND I

HAVEN'T SLEPT UNDER THE SAME ROOF FOR MANY YEARS.

OH.

HOW DO YOU KNOW FAY AND GLEN?

OH, I'VE KNOWN FAY FOR YEARS.

I MET HER WHEN I WAS AN ART CONSULTANT

FOR AN AMERICAN COMPANY IN TURKEY.

OH, YOU'RE AN ARTIST?

WELL, NOW AND THEN.

I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DISCIPLINE MYSELF

BODY AND SOUL.

DO YOU WANT TO DANCE?

NOT REALLY.

OH, THANK GOD. I HATE DANCING.

TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOURSELF.

I MEAN,

WHEREABOUTS IN AMERICA DO YOU COME FROM?

THE NORTHWEST, NEAR SEATTLE.

AH, SEATTLE.

IT'S RATHER LIKE ENGLAND, ISN'T IT? I MEAN--

WELL, THE CLIMATE, ANYWAY.

THAT'S GREAT.

NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER.

I KNOW.

AND WE MADE SUCH A PROMISING BEGINNING.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S MY FAULT. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

WHY?

BECAUSE...

EVERY TIME I'M AROUND YOU,

I HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT I'M MARRIED.

IT WAS NICE SEEING YOU AGAIN.

WHO ARE YOU TONIGHT?

LOUIS PASTEUR.

WELL, HE WAS VERY PERSISTENT.

SO WAS JOAN OF ARC.

SALLY!

UM... WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

A TEA, PLEASE.

TEA, PLEASE.

I'M GLAD YOU'VE COME. I...

NEEDED SOME HUMAN CONTACT.

I'VE BEEN LIKE A HERMIT SINCE CHRISTMAS.

ME, TOO. PAUL'S AWAY AGAIN ON BUSINESS IN LIBYA.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

I MEAN, DON'T ANSWER ME IF YOU THINK IT'S NOT MY BUSINESS.

ARE YOU HAPPILY MARRIED?

HAPPILY ENOUGH.

PAUL AND I ARE COMFORTABLE.

PAUL'S A GOOD HUSBAND AND FATHER.

I'M SURE HE WISHES HE'D PICKED SOMEONE

WHO WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT IN THE KITCHEN

AND SOMEONE WHO WOULD KEEP THEIR OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES.

MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE MARRIED ME.

I'M VERY GOOD IN THE KITCHEN

AND I KEEP MY OPINIONS TO MYSELF.

WELL, IF HE EVER DECIDES TO CHANGE HIS MIND,

I'LL HAVE HIM GIVE YOU A CALL.

DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

I RAN INTO AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE TODAY

I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR YEARS.

BRITISH WRITER NAMED LEO CAUFFIELD.

YOU HAVEN'T COME ACROSS HIM ON THE CIRCUIT

SINCE I'VE BEEN GONE, HAVE YOU?

YES.

I ALWAYS LIKED LEO.

OH, MATTER OF FACT, I INVITED HIM OVER TO DINNER NEXT WEEK.

PAUL.

HMM?

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ANY MORE ABOUT TAKING THAT OFFER

TO RUN THE BUREAU IN PARIS?

WHY?

I JUST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A...

GOOD CHANGE FOR US.

I ALREADY TURNED IT DOWN.

THERE'S NOTHING MUCH OF INTEREST

HAPPENING IN PARIS THESE DAYS.

SALLY, DID YOU KNOW THAT LEO HERE WAS AWARDED AN O.B.E.

BY THE QUEEN HERSELF?
