You know you are not
supposed to come here,

3:38:26
unless I ask you.
3:38:27
l have been calling your office
all afternoon.

3:38:30
l even called this number.
3:38:35
I hate to seem impatient,
but I am expecting a visitor.

3:38:39
I apologise for this invasion
of your privacy.

3:38:45
Why did you permit Devereaux
to include me at that lunch?

3:38:48
If I had not,
he would have wondered.

3:38:51
If you had not come,
he would have wondered more.

3:38:55
But he knew. You could see
that he knew about me.

3:38:58
No.
3:39:00
He wasn't sure.
3:39:02
He was trying to find out.
3:39:05
And you, who behaved so well
at the beginning,

3:39:09
then did
something extremely foolish.

3:39:13
To say that the Russian defector
was dead -

3:39:16
It shook him. It stopped him.
3:39:18
For the moment.
3:39:20
By now, he is checking
with the Americans.

3:39:23
By tomorrow...
3:39:25
he will know that we are lying.
3:39:29
What will we do?
3:39:33
Nothing.
3:39:35
Let me give you something
to settle your nerves.

3:39:38
A cognac?
3:39:40
You don't think Devereaux
should be treated... seriously?

3:39:45
An ominous and subtle suggestion,
eh, Henri?

3:39:49
But these things
are not done in panic.

3:39:55
You will forgive me
if I don't join you

3:39:58
but I am expecting a guest.
