:19:14
It'll be a miracle if he can explain
where he's been all day.
:19:17
But I've never even heard
of a Tatiana Romanova.
:19:20
- Ridiculous, isn't it?
- It's absolutely crazy.
:19:23
Of course, girls do fall in love
with pictures of film stars.
:19:27
But not a Russian cipher clerk
with a file photo of a British agent!
:19:31
Unless she's mental.
:19:34
No, it's some sort of trap.
:19:36
Well, obviously. And the bait
is a cipher machine. A brand new Lektor.
:19:41
A Lektor, no less.
:19:43
The CIA's been after one for years.
:19:46
Yes, so have we.
:19:47
When she contacted Kerim Bey,
head of Station T, Turkey,
:19:51
and told him she wanted to defect,
she said she'd turn it over to us.
:19:56
On one condition.
:19:58
That you went out to lstanbul and brought
her and the machine back to England.
:20:03
Here's a snapshot
Kerim managed to get of her.
:20:06
Well, I don't know too much
about cryptography, sir,
:20:09
but, a Lektor could decode
their top secret signals.
:20:13
The whole thing's so fantastic
it just could be... true.
:20:16
That had occurred to me.
:20:19
Besides, the Russians haven't
been up to any tricks recently.
:20:23
Well, really, I'm not
too busy at the moment, sir.
:20:27
You're booked on the 8.30 plane
in the morning.
:20:29
If there's any chance of getting a Lektor,
we must look into it.
:20:33
Suppose when she meets me in the flesh
I don't come up to expectations?
:20:37
Just see that you do.
:20:41
Miss Moneypenny, ask
the equipment officer to come in, please.
:20:45
Q Branch has put together
a smart-looking piece of luggage.
:20:48
We're issuing this
to all double-0 personnel.
:20:53
An ordinary black leather case
:20:55
with 20 rounds of ammunition,
here and here.
