Topaz

3:35:01

but a man doesn't cut his throat
on principle.

3:35:05

I have no desire to cut my throat.

3:35:09

(Jean) Then tell us, your friends.
That's why we are here.

3:35:12

Be reasonable, André.
We are trying to help you.

3:35:16

Yes, my friends. Slowly.

3:35:18

Slowly.

3:35:21

Let André tell us in his own way.

3:35:28

Have any of you
in your official work

3:35:30

had any hint of a spy ring
called Topaz?

3:35:45

- No?
- What kind of a ring?

3:35:49

It's a number of Frenchmen,

3:35:51

compatriots of ours,
high in official circles,

3:35:55

working for the Soviet Union.

3:35:58

- I go.
- (Devereaux) Sit down. l need you.

3:36:01

I have nothing to do with spies.

3:36:04

I am concerned with exposing them.

3:36:12

This is very dear.

3:36:14

How do you know about this...
ring of spies?

3:36:18

The Americans have a Russian
defector, high in the KGB.

3:36:21

- We know that.
- Yes, that is known.

3:36:27

I saw him.
I was allowed to talk to him.

3:36:31

He told me.

3:36:32

A spy ring?

3:36:34

- Called Topaz?
- (Devereaux) Yes.

3:36:36

What is the name of the defector?

3:36:39

Boris Kusenov.

3:36:43

But, André, that is not possible.

3:36:46

Why?

3:36:47

The KGB official
of whom you speak, Boris Kusenov,

3:36:52

has been dead for over a year.

3:36:54

This man who has been planted
on the Americans

3:36:56

is obviously a double agent.

3:36:59

And he has taken in the Americans.
