:42:02
McFadden?
- Glad to see you, Captain.
:42:04
They left without delay to meet
with the British Ambassador.
:42:12
To begin with, sir, I think we
must assume that the source...
:42:15
...of information to the Nazis is
someone here at the Embassy.
:42:19
It's been ruled out...
- Our personnel and permanent...
:42:21
...employees have had previous
security clearance from London.
:42:24
I've never known a self-respecting
spy without a security clearance.
:42:28
Where is classified information kept?
:42:30
Here in my safe. And
in the first secretary's.
:42:32
And the code room?
- Under guard, day and night.
:42:35
Don't you think it most likely
that this lapse in security...
:42:38
...was due to a slip of the lip
at some party or reception?
:42:42
My lips are not in the habit
of slipping, Mr. Travers.
:42:45
Nor do I imply that they are. But our
material passes trough other hands...
:42:49
...and might pass through other lips.
:42:51
Now McFadden was telling me
about an unattached lady...
:42:55
...a certain Countess Staviska.
:43:04
Thank you, Diello. You were saying?
:43:11
A certain Countess Staviska.
:43:14
It seems she has quite recently
and suddenly begun to entertain.
:43:17
Informal, gay little gatherings.
:43:20
I assume some of our Embassy
personnel have attended.
:43:24
The Countess has a wide circle
of friends which includes me.
:43:28
That circle would also include
Herr von Papen and his associates.
:43:31
Mr. Travers, the Countess
is doing her very best...
:43:34
...to live neutrally in
a neutral country.
:43:36
The circumstances...
- Mac says...
:43:37
...her circumstances have taken a
startling change for the better.
:43:40
Does anyone know the
source of her fortune?
:43:43
It concerns anyone but
the Countess Staviska.
:43:45
I cannot see what the
source of her income...
:43:47
...has to do with our problem.
:43:49
Now I'm probably
just a gossip at heart.
:43:52
Maybe that's why I like my work.
:43:54
Counter-espionage is the
highest form of gossip.
:43:59
Obviously Cicero is paying
the bills for the Countess.
