Speaker 1: Rome, Italy, the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace
Speaker 1: of democracy, has something for every type of visitor. For
Speaker 1: those seeking to surround themselves with art and history, there
Speaker 1: is no better place. Statues and monuments are on every corner.
Speaker 1: Museums burst at the seams with seminal works. You could
Speaker 1: spend days wandering the halls of its famous galleries and
Speaker 1: visiting fountains and churches. But for those more interested in culture,
Speaker 1: look no further. Italians are a passionate people with a
Speaker 1: reel zest for life, who love good food, good conversation,
Speaker 1: and are big on hospital.
Speaker 2: Laura. I would ask you one more time, what are
Speaker 2: you doing here?
Speaker 1: Please? There's no need for violence. Like I said before,
Speaker 1: I'm just an American tourist. Check my passport. This is
Speaker 1: no place for Torris. He's lying eat them again. No, No, precisely,
Speaker 1: I'm a travel book writer. These catacombs are the most
Speaker 1: important in realm and the biggest. I got lost. I
Speaker 1: thought I was seeing the crypt of Saint Cecilia. I
Speaker 1: had no idea what I'd find in here. I wish
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 2: And you're going to put these in your books. Our
Speaker 2: secret supply.
Speaker 1: Precisements too much. No, I haven't seen anything. Everything will
Speaker 1: stay in the catacombs. I assure you, really, I pose
Speaker 1: no threat.
Speaker 2: I ask you again, who do you work for?
Speaker 1: Phodoors travel guides. I already told you.
Speaker 3: This is taking it too long.
Speaker 2: We are going to miss the Angelouis Almati Fatello.
Speaker 1: We have die.
Speaker 3: I think this knife might make him talk a quicker.
Speaker 2: No, just don't do so much damage that he can
Speaker 2: speak like last time.
Speaker 1: Really, let me try to explain.
Speaker 2: No, I explain. If you do not tell us the truth,
Speaker 2: we will kill you.
Speaker 1: Remember you're already in the graveside.
Speaker 3: No one will find you down here. We have many
Speaker 3: bodies in these walls who will never say a word.
Speaker 2: So I ask you one last time, don't see Mova.
Speaker 2: Drop the gun or I will be forced to shoot.
Speaker 1: I savender, Who is there? Father Leo? Oh, thank god you're.
Speaker 2: Back gin Now I see you find religion. I guess
Speaker 2: it's never too.
Speaker 1: Late, Carlo. It's just a priest.
Speaker 2: Drop the knife and back away, or I will shoot.
Speaker 2: I assure you, our priests even allow to carry a gun.
Speaker 2: The next one is in between your eyes. I may
Speaker 2: be a priest.
Speaker 1: Better rest assured.
Speaker 2: This is a CALLD forty five, and then my frog
Speaker 2: not prayer beads. Okay, okay, drop the knife itto, I
Speaker 2: see see, very good. Now you have ten seconds to
Speaker 2: get out of here or the next shot will not miss.
Speaker 2: Then I will read you last rites.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Everyth therechie and don't ever come back here. Let me
Speaker 2: untie you. I'm sorry, I'm late, gen Are you all right?
Speaker 1: I'll be all right. I probably have a shiners all.
Speaker 1: Why did you let them go? We should go after them?
Speaker 2: In truth, I only had two bullets, and that they're Injuran.
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but my front is better
Speaker 2: at hiding weapons than it is for running.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. I hate to agree with those goons, but
Speaker 1: what is a man of the cloth doing packing heat?
Speaker 2: I have faith in gold gene, not in men. But
Speaker 2: now we have to find who those goons work for.
Speaker 2: They certainly can't be the brains behind the operation.
Speaker 1: True, they must have someone on the inside. How else
Speaker 1: would they know the location of the weapons.
Speaker 2: You're the first soul. I've revealed the location tween decades.
Speaker 2: But given the police report, they must be working for
Speaker 2: their Red Brigade. They didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: No, but now that you mention it, there was a
Speaker 1: tattoo on the Big Goon's forearm, a black double bladed axe.
Speaker 1: Do you know if it means anything? Black double bladed axe?
Speaker 2: Are you sure that doesn't make any sense?
Speaker 1: Real? Sure? I got a pretty good close up while
Speaker 1: he was punching me in the face.
Speaker 2: That's the symbol for the OrderIn Nuovo, a far right
Speaker 2: political and perimilitary network founded by Pino.
Speaker 1: Rauti, the neo fascist.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Ordinary Nuovo is the most important textra paramilitary
Speaker 2: neo fascist organization in the postwar Italian Republic and the
Speaker 2: sworn enemies of the Red Brigade. This makes no sense,
Speaker 2: of course it does.
Speaker 1: It makes perfect sense. It's a red flag mission, no
Speaker 1: meo deal.
Speaker 2: Yes, why didn't I see it, Jean? They're setting up
Speaker 2: the Red Brigade to take the blame, exactly.
Speaker 1: Think about it. By the ordin in Nuovo committing these
Speaker 1: attacks and framing the Red Brigade, it turns the public
Speaker 1: sentiment away from the Communists while justifying a government. It's
Speaker 1: devilishly brilliant, actually, But.
Speaker 2: That means they were here for more weapons and more attacks.
Speaker 2: Did they take anything else?
Speaker 1: Let's see? Oh more? Of the C four enough explosives
Speaker 1: for another large scale attack.
Speaker 2: Then we must discover the location before it is too late.
Speaker 2: Holy Father, please protect our flock.
Speaker 1: Leo, this is no time for prayer. Wait a minute.
Speaker 1: Speaking of prayer, one of the goons mentioned being late
Speaker 1: for the Angelus. Perhaps that's a clue.
Speaker 2: Jerdament the gene. That's it. That's it. The Angelus is
Speaker 2: a prayer the Pope gives every Sunday at noon during
Speaker 2: his paper address.
Speaker 1: Oh the oh deal, they're gonna bomb the Vatican. Of
Speaker 1: all the means of transportation, there is nothing more beloved
Speaker 1: by the Italian than the Vespa. First debuted at the
Speaker 1: Rome Gold Club in nineteen forty six, it quickly gained popularity,
Speaker 1: going from twenty five hundred scooter sales in its first
Speaker 1: year to more than twenty times that only three years later.
Speaker 1: The first models were sold for fifty five thousand lire
Speaker 1: for about two hundred and forty five dollars at the time,
Speaker 1: much cheaper than a car and quite competitive with other
Speaker 1: scooter models. But in a culture that places such a
Speaker 1: premium on beauty, the sleek design of the Vespa turned
Speaker 1: it into an instant success. It took a strange combination
Speaker 1: of coincidences, though for the Vespa to be born, Corradino Dascagno,
Speaker 1: its engineer, actually didn't love motorbikes and set out to
Speaker 1: make something that those like him could enjoy. It had
Speaker 1: to be easy to use, protective, and comfortable. Its name
Speaker 1: comes from Enrico Piaggio's exclamation when he saw the first prototype.
Speaker 1: Shape He said, with a narrow waist and large rear,
Speaker 1: resembled a wasp, which is vespa in Italian. But Dascango's
Speaker 1: Vespa was sexy and seductive, and its step through frame
Speaker 1: meant that women could ride it in skirts. Its concealed engine,
Speaker 1: tucked under the seat or over its small back wheel,
Speaker 1: kept oil, grease and dirt from chic Italian clothes. The Vespa,
Speaker 1: which happened to sound like a wasp, too, was fun,
Speaker 1: especially so in a post war Italy still recovering from
Speaker 1: the Allied bombings, who were seeking entertainment but had little
Speaker 1: to spend. And after the Vespa's appearance in Roman Holiday,
Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty three romantic comedy starring Audrey Hepburn and
Speaker 1: Gregory Peck, sales skyrocketed. The glamorous Hollywood couple spun care
Speaker 1: free around Rome on one of the scooters, aimlessly and stylishly.
Speaker 1: Audiences wanted to do this, and they could, as the
Speaker 1: Vespa was made for any novice driver.
Speaker 2: Schools A schools A whoa?
Speaker 4: What out?
Speaker 1: Hold on, Jean, Oh, we're not gonna fit go.
Speaker 4: Enough?
Speaker 3: Pull over?
Speaker 1: What pull over? Let me off before you get us killed?
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'm fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 1: Calm down, Jeane Hugh. Never trust an Italian on a Vespa.
Speaker 1: You won't drive like you have a death wish.
Speaker 2: He thought we were in a hurry.
Speaker 1: Who are? But I'll just slow you down. You're a
Speaker 1: Catholic priest. If you go to the Vatican and warn them,
Speaker 1: they have to listen.
Speaker 2: I can't gene it won't work.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: The poop already gets hundreds of assassination threats a day.
Speaker 2: And even if they do listen, how do I explain
Speaker 2: that the bomb material is being held in a cash
Speaker 2: they have sworn to keep secret. It would expose me
Speaker 2: and the Operation Glaudio.
Speaker 1: Get your papers, the.
Speaker 2: Red Brigade, get the paper, the police, Saint Justice Worthy served.
Speaker 1: Pragatto boy, Let me buy one of those newspapers.
Speaker 2: Yes, please, crats you get your papers here, read about
Speaker 2: the Jeane. We certainly don't have time to read the page.
Speaker 1: Oh look here on the front page. It's started. Their
Speaker 1: plan is already in motion.
Speaker 2: Let me see. It says the police matched the forensics
Speaker 2: of the bomb at the coliseum to other attacks perpetrated
Speaker 2: by the Red Brigade. The article even quotes the forensics
Speaker 2: investigator saying it was a perfect match with the Red
Speaker 2: Brigade attack.
Speaker 1: Then neither he's dead, wrong or he's lying. But one
Speaker 1: thing's certain. If there's another bomb attack at the Vatican,
Speaker 1: the government will have no choice but to declare martial law.
Speaker 2: Which is exactly what the Ordnanovo wants. People living in
Speaker 2: fear and the government the crackdown.
Speaker 1: If we can't inform the Vatican or go to the police,
Speaker 1: what do we do.
Speaker 2: We still have a couple hours. Let's pay a little
Speaker 2: visit to this forensic investigator. We know he's lying, so
Speaker 2: it's time I hear his confession, whether he likes it.
Speaker 4: Or or not.
Speaker 1: Good idea. Let me call Rebecca and see if she's
Speaker 1: matched the C four of the police bombing, so we
Speaker 1: can confront him with the evidence. There's a phone both
Speaker 1: over there.
Speaker 4: Pronto.
Speaker 1: Rebecca here, Rebecca, it's Gene.
Speaker 4: I just left your message. I ran the tests and
Speaker 4: the C four from the catacomb cash she's a perfect
Speaker 4: chemical match with the C four from the bombing. Whoever
Speaker 4: did the bombing must have stolen him beforehand.
Speaker 1: I know I had some visitors after you left.
Speaker 4: Are you all right? Was it Red Brigade?
Speaker 1: My face has looked better, But it seems it's not
Speaker 1: the Red Brigade after all, but the ordinary Nuovo.
Speaker 4: The neo fascist group.
Speaker 1: Yes, and we think they're planning another attack at the
Speaker 1: Vatican today. Oh my god, exactly. But Leo and I
Speaker 1: are already hatching a plan. Meet us at Piazza Navona
Speaker 1: and bring the Sea four evidence we might need it.
Speaker 1: I'm on my way, always camera ready. The beautiful baroque
Speaker 1: plaza known as Piazza Navona is a feast for the eyes.
Speaker 1: It features Bernini sculptures, three gorgeous fountains, and a magnificently
Speaker 1: Baroque church, the Sandanieze Nagone, all built atop the remains
Speaker 1: of a Roman athletics track. Pieces of the arena are
Speaker 1: still visible near the adjacent Piazza Santa polinare and the
Speaker 1: ancient spirit of entertainment lives on in the buskers and
Speaker 1: artists who populate the piazza today. The piazza took on
Speaker 1: its current look during the seventeenth century, after Pope Innocent
Speaker 1: the tenth decided to make over his family palace and
Speaker 1: the rest of the piazza. Though the former palace is
Speaker 1: now home to the Brazilian Embassy and an ultra luxe hotel,
Speaker 1: the pope's architectural work lives on center stage is the
Speaker 1: Fantona de Cuatro Fiumi, created for Innocent by Bernini in
Speaker 1: sixteen fifty one. Bernini's powerful figures represent the longest rivers
Speaker 1: of the four known continents at the time, the Nile,
Speaker 1: the Ganges, the Danube, and the Plata. Fun fact, popular
Speaker 1: legend has it that the figure representing the Plata, which
Speaker 1: stands closest to Santanieze Nagone, has his hands raised before
Speaker 1: his eyes because he can't bear to look upon the
Speaker 1: church's inferior facade, designed by Francesco Borromini, Bernini's rival. If
Speaker 1: you want a cafe with one of the most beautiful,
Speaker 1: if not pricey views in Rome, grab a seat at
Speaker 1: Piazza Nava just be aware that all the restaurants here
Speaker 1: are heavily geared toward tourists. So while it's a beautiful
Speaker 1: place for a coffee, you can find cheaper, more authentic,
Speaker 1: and far better meals elsewhere.
Speaker 4: Jeanjean, I made it, Hi, father, So what's the plan.
Speaker 2: Chao, Rebecca? Did you bring the evidence?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: I have it right here.
Speaker 1: Great, you see this article in the paper. We're going
Speaker 1: to confront the forensics investigator with the truth and find
Speaker 1: out why he lied on the report.
Speaker 4: If he's working for the Ordinary Nuovo, then they've got
Speaker 4: people everywhere, and we need to find.
Speaker 2: Out who he lives across from the piazza. So let's
Speaker 2: catch him before he leaves for church. If we're lucky,
Speaker 2: he'll be in a repenting mood.
Speaker 3: Post. Can I help you?
Speaker 1: Hello? We are here to speak to you about your
Speaker 1: recent report on the police car bombing.
Speaker 3: And who are you?
Speaker 2: I'm father Leo and these are my associates.
Speaker 1: Okay, but why are you here? We have proof you
Speaker 1: falsified the report. Excuse me.
Speaker 4: Here are the test results confirming the explosive material was
Speaker 4: C four and not the dynamite of the Red Brigade
Speaker 4: like you said in the report.
Speaker 2: And we know you covered it up for the Ordino.
Speaker 2: Now would you like to invite us inside to discuss
Speaker 2: this further?
Speaker 4: Why this can go in another direction?
Speaker 1: Me have Familia. We won't harm them or tell them
Speaker 1: unless we need to. Perhaps there is a quiet place
Speaker 1: we can speak.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, right this way?
Speaker 2: Tell us everything.
Speaker 3: First, you have to understand the Order Novo are a
Speaker 3: very powerful group, extremely dangerous. You saw what they did
Speaker 3: to those others we know.
Speaker 2: We also know they are planning more attacks. How did
Speaker 2: they convince you to work for them?
Speaker 3: They told me if I didn't help cover up the
Speaker 3: last bomb, the next four package could be sent to
Speaker 3: my daughter's school. You know what these people are capable of.
Speaker 3: These are not idle threats.
Speaker 4: Yes, we understand, but if it's not your daughter, it
Speaker 4: will be someone else's. We have reason to believe another
Speaker 4: attack is imminent.
Speaker 1: Please, if you know anything, help us stop it before
Speaker 1: anyone else gets hurt.
Speaker 2: Repent your sins, my.
Speaker 3: Son, Please, father, forgive me. I didn't want to do it.
Speaker 3: I told them after the last report that I was done,
Speaker 3: but they kept blackmailing me. They threatened me, Familia, What
Speaker 3: did you do?
Speaker 2: Confess?
Speaker 3: I built him another bomb. They made me do it,
Speaker 3: they me I delivered it just this morning.
Speaker 2: Covering up a crime is one thing, but being involved
Speaker 2: in another attack would make you a murderer, a mark
Speaker 2: on your soul. That can never be a race.
Speaker 3: I know, but they don't listen to reason. I have
Speaker 3: tried to find a way out. I had no choice.
Speaker 4: What I don't understand is why they needed you to
Speaker 4: build a bomb when they seem to handle it just
Speaker 4: fine last time.
Speaker 3: The car bomb is too sloppy, too large. This one
Speaker 3: they said they needed to be compact, and their guy
Speaker 3: was unable to do it. They know I have a
Speaker 3: history with explosives from the war.
Speaker 1: Do you have the measurements they requested?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Eight point seven by five point seven by one point
Speaker 3: one inches.
Speaker 1: Well, I know from our publishing. Those are the standard
Speaker 1: dimensions of a book. That's how they're going to get
Speaker 1: the bomb through security. They're hiding it in a Holy Bible.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 2: Security allows worshippers to bring in bibles and relics. They're
Speaker 2: going to detonate it during the Pope's address.
Speaker 5: Not if we get there and stop it first.
Speaker 1: Vatican City is an independent city, state, micro state and
Speaker 1: enclave within Rome. It is the headquarters of the Roman
Speaker 1: Catholic Church and home to both the Pope and a
Speaker 1: trove of iconic art and architecture. It became an independent
Speaker 1: country from Italy in nineteen twenty nine, with the latter
Speaker 1: in treaty, and it is a distinct territory under full ownership,
Speaker 1: exclusive dominion and sovereign authority and jurisdiction of the Holy See,
Speaker 1: making it an ecclesiastical monarchical state ruled by the Pope,
Speaker 1: who is the Bishop of Rome and head of the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church. With an area of forty nine hectores and
Speaker 1: a population under four hundred, it is the smallest country
Speaker 1: in the world both by area and population. Vatican City
Speaker 1: contains religious and cultural sites that are home to some
Speaker 1: of the most famous artworks in the world. Saint Peter's Basilica,
Speaker 1: whose successive architects include Bramante, Michelangelo, Jiacomo de la Porta Maderno,
Speaker 1: and Bernini, is a renowned work of Renaissance architecture. The
Speaker 1: Cistine Chapel is famous for its frescoes, which include works
Speaker 1: by Perugino and Bodicelli, but is most famous for its
Speaker 1: unparalleled ceiling painted by Michelangelo. Vatican City also contains the
Speaker 1: Vatican Gardens, which account for about half of its territory.
Speaker 1: The gardens, established during the Renaissance and Baroque era, are
Speaker 1: decorated with fountains and sculptures. But the center of Vatican
Speaker 1: City is Saint Peter's Square, a large piazza located directly
Speaker 1: in front of Saint Peter's Basilica. Both the square and
Speaker 1: the basilica are named after Saint Peter, an apostle of
Speaker 1: Jesus who Catholics consider to be the first Pope. At
Speaker 1: the center of the square is an ancient Egyptian obelisk
Speaker 1: erected at the current site in fifteen eighty six. Jiam
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Bernini designed the square almost one hundred years later,
Speaker 1: including the massive doric colonnades which embrace visitors in the
Speaker 1: maternal arms of Mother Church.
Speaker 2: Geane, follow me, I can get this inside.
Speaker 5: There must be thousands of people here.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately most are holding Bibles.
Speaker 2: They come to Saint Peter Square every Sunday for the
Speaker 2: paper address. It's quite the public stage for an attack,
Speaker 2: though after the Colisseum, we shouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: Somewhere in this crowd is the assassin and his bomb.
Speaker 1: Where do we begin?
Speaker 4: Should we warn the Swiss Guard there is.
Speaker 2: In time and it would only create panic.
Speaker 1: We have to think fast.
Speaker 2: The Pope is about to begin.
Speaker 4: We have to get in their head. If you were
Speaker 4: a terrorist, where would you detonate a bomb to do
Speaker 4: maximum damage and make the largest statement.
Speaker 1: About that?
Speaker 2: The Vatican Obelisk? It would be quite a statement.
Speaker 1: Indeed, it's the longest standing obelisk in the world. It's
Speaker 1: weathered every war and natural event since Roman times and
Speaker 1: never been toppled. A huge point of Italian pride, and only.
Speaker 4: A small amount the amount that would fit in a
Speaker 4: bible would be needed to turn it into a three
Speaker 4: hundred ton rock grenade.
Speaker 1: Which is perfectly centered in the square to do maximum
Speaker 1: damage to worshippers.
Speaker 2: How would they blow it up? It must be around
Speaker 2: the base.
Speaker 4: The benefits of C four that it's stable and has
Speaker 4: a high cutting ability, so it could rest anywhere waiting.
Speaker 2: I can search any worship, but it's carrying a bible.
Speaker 1: Oh, and I think the Ordinannuovo are too cowardly to
Speaker 1: stick around. Like with the car bomb, they probably placed
Speaker 1: it somewhere and fled out of danger and less likely
Speaker 1: to be caught.
Speaker 4: Let's search around the base.
Speaker 2: He squeezy, misquezecusy, squezy, excuyhart mere he squoozy, squeezy, he scoozy.
Speaker 4: I don't see anything on the.
Speaker 2: Ground, nothing on the steps.
Speaker 4: Check for any n nooks or crevices anywhere it could
Speaker 4: be hidden.
Speaker 1: Look the bronze lions. There's something in that one's mouth.
Speaker 4: You're right, it's a bible. Excuse me, squozy, squozy, pardon me,
Speaker 4: help me up?
Speaker 2: Be careful, I got it, okay, open it slowly, a
Speaker 2: bible bomb.
Speaker 1: Now, I've seen it all. Can you disarm it? Rebecca?
Speaker 4: Not fast enough. The timers is forty seven seconds.
Speaker 1: We have to get it out of here.
Speaker 2: Now here are the keys. Take it to the Vespa go,
Speaker 2: I can't run in these robes.
Speaker 4: Go speed, jeep, hurry, I'm coming forty seconds here you drive, hop.
Speaker 1: Boss, go go go go hold on tight Where to
Speaker 1: head for the river? Hold on?
Speaker 4: There it is, I'm ahead.
Speaker 1: How much longer?
Speaker 4: Ten seconds? Nine eight, seven, six five?
Speaker 1: Four?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Are you all right?
Speaker 4: Sure? Beat's throwing a coin in the trevy fountain.
Speaker 1: The Trevy Fountain is one of Rome's greatest attractions. Standing
Speaker 1: twenty six meters tall and forty nine meters wide, it
Speaker 1: is an unmissible site in the city. Built in the
Speaker 1: seventeen hundreds, it is perhaps one of Rome's most iconic structures,
Speaker 1: famous for its intricate artwork, decorated in the Baroque style.
Speaker 1: Erected at the conversion of three roads Trabilla in Italian,
Speaker 1: from which its name is derived, It's an endpoint of
Speaker 1: an ancient aqueduct, Aqua Virgo, making it one of Rome's
Speaker 1: oldest water sources. One would expect the god at the
Speaker 1: centerpiece of the Trevi Fountain to be Neptune, of course,
Speaker 1: the god of fresh water in the Roman religion. That god, however,
Speaker 1: turns out to be the Greek sea god Oceanus. You
Speaker 1: can tell by the way he's flanked by seahorses and merman.
Speaker 1: The statues represent the different characteristics of rivers and seas.
Speaker 1: The fountain is made of the same material as the
Speaker 1: Colosseum travertine stone, and it has been featured in many
Speaker 1: popular films, One of them established the tradition of tossing
Speaker 1: spare change into the Trevi Fountain. Legend has it that
Speaker 1: throwing one coin will guarantee you a safe return to
Speaker 1: Rome in the future, while a second coin will have
Speaker 1: your return met with romance, and a third guarantees a
Speaker 1: Roman wedbas Okay, I made my wish. Now it's your turn.
Speaker 1: Oh it's just a silly tradition.
Speaker 5: Oh, come on, throw one in.
Speaker 2: You know they say if you throw a coin in
Speaker 2: the trevi Fountain, you will return to Rome one day.
Speaker 1: I know, but I think I've had enough of Rome
Speaker 1: for now.
Speaker 5: Oh darling, I'm so sorry you got mugs, But I,
Speaker 5: for one think you look cute with a black eye.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yes, I've always had.
Speaker 5: A thing for tough guys. However, I do think you
Speaker 5: should file a police report.
Speaker 1: What would that do except keep us in a sweaty
Speaker 1: police station all day. No, I'd rather just go back
Speaker 1: to the hotel and lie down.
Speaker 2: M of course, but only after you toss a coin in.
Speaker 2: A second coin guarantees a romance after all.
Speaker 1: In that case, your wish is my command.
Speaker 2: Are you up for walking back?
Speaker 1: Sure, but let's not take the scenic route this time.
Speaker 1: That's the deal.
Speaker 2: When a sad welcome back, mister and missus, foda, thank you.
Speaker 1: Do we have any messages.
Speaker 2: Yes one from miss Rasta.
Speaker 1: Great darling. How about I give her a call back
Speaker 1: before I head upstairs. I didn't show up to our
Speaker 1: appointment today. She must be concerned.
Speaker 5: I'll start running you a bath.
Speaker 1: I won't be long.
Speaker 4: Fronto Hotel Grefo.
Speaker 1: Room fifty one, Please.
Speaker 4: Momento, Jeane.
Speaker 1: How's Leo good?
Speaker 4: No one at the Vaticans seemed to notice the commotion.
Speaker 4: We handed the evidence over to the Italian authorities.
Speaker 1: Great, did the investigator cooperate?
Speaker 4: Yes, Leo got a signed confession from him, and they've
Speaker 4: already arrested three members of the Ordnnuovo.
Speaker 1: That should help to finally reduce political tensions.
Speaker 4: In Italy exactly. The Red Brigade is still out there,
Speaker 4: but not as active as everyone was led to believe.
Speaker 1: What does all this mean for Operation Gladio. The cash
Speaker 1: certainly must no longer be secret.
Speaker 4: Leo will find a new place for it, but it's
Speaker 4: a dead end as far as exposing Pathfinder is concerned.
Speaker 1: And finding my father for now.
Speaker 4: But we do have a new lead from the case
Speaker 4: back in London, and it's a good one.
Speaker 1: The Portland Spiring.
Speaker 4: We took another look at the evidence from the Kroger's house,
Speaker 4: or should I say the Cohens. It seems their fake
Speaker 4: passports were created by a known Soviet master forger code
Speaker 4: name doctor Jivago. That book, yes, well, through one of
Speaker 4: our contacts inside the KGB, we've learned that Javago was
Speaker 4: interested in defecting to the US. He's willing to help
Speaker 4: the CIA if we help him escape the Soviets with
Speaker 4: his family.
Speaker 1: And what does all this have to do with finding
Speaker 1: my father?
Speaker 4: Well, Martin says that Chevago worked with your father for
Speaker 4: years during the war and they became close friends. From
Speaker 4: all reports, he was the last to see your father alive.
Speaker 4: Now we believe they began working for the Soviets together.
Speaker 4: If anyone is going to know where your father is,
Speaker 4: it's Jevago.
Speaker 1: Great, So when are you going to get him?
Speaker 4: We leave for Berlin tomorrow we Martin wants you there, said,
Speaker 4: Jevago has someone to trust, everything is already set up.
Speaker 4: It'll be a quick trip. Just slip in for the
Speaker 4: day and escort.
