Apparently, a member of the Russian
circus troupe, performing in New York...
:43:07
...has decided to defect in,
of all places, Bloomie's.
:43:11
Vladimir, I trusted you.
Now you do this to your family and to me.
:43:15
You know what my life will be now?
:43:18
Vladimir, have mercy.
:43:24
You are a Russian.
:43:27
Please, I will give you everything I own.
:43:31
My sweet Volodnishka, please.
:43:41
You will never see your parents
or your sister. Your grandfather...
:43:45
... never.
:43:49
I defect.
:43:56
This is New York City.
A man can do whatever he wants.
:44:01
The FBI has just arrived on the scene.
Gentlemen, a few questions.
:44:04
How do you plan to handle this?
:44:08
I'm Agent Ross
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
:44:11
- Frank Williams, Justice.
- Mr. Ivanoff, let's talk.
:44:13
Vladimir lvanoff is a defector.
And this guy, I don't know who he is.
:44:17
KGB, whatever that is.
:44:32
- What exactly do you protest?
- You cannot permit him to defect.
:44:37
It seems he's already defected.
:44:39
Mr. Ivanoff, can you tell us
why you're defecting?
:44:43
- Freedom.
- Political freedom or artistic?
:44:46
Freedom.
:44:49
For now, consider yourself an applicant
for political asylum in the U.S.
:44:53
That's a matter for lmmigration.
:44:58
- You can still come home.
- I defect.
