1:39:01
It's deniable
1:39:02
The Soviets have done nothing
but lie to us

1:39:03
This could just be more of the same
1:39:05
That may be
why Kruschev's introducing this guy

1:39:09
We're been burned by his usual players
in the formal channels

1:39:12
so he brings in an honest broker
1:39:14
That may be what they want us to think
1:39:17
The truth is
1:39:18
we don't really know
who Fomin speaks for

1:39:21
It could be Kruschev
1:39:22
It could be some faction
in the Politburo

1:39:25
Or the KGB itself
1:39:26
We just don't know
1:39:28
By the way, Scali
your activities now fall under...

1:39:32
the secrecy codicils
of the National Security Act

1:39:34
Sorry, John
1:39:35
No Pulitzer
1:39:38
Mr. President, we haven't much time
1:39:41
I'm scheduled to meet with him again
in three and a half hours

1:39:44
So it seems the question of the day is
1:39:46
is the offer legitimate?
1:39:49
And if it is
1:39:51
we can't afford to ignore it
1:39:54
So, John...
1:39:57
We'll have instructions for you
in a couple of hours

1:40:01
Thank you
1:40:04
Thank you
1:40:08
We don't have much time
to play out back-channe

1:40:16
Kenny
1:40:20
I want you to get over
to your old stomping grounds...

1:40:22
and go through everything
the FBI has on Fomin

1:40:25
I need your best call
Is the guy legit

1:40:27
and is he speaking for Kruschev?
1:40:30
So what we've got here is this guy
1:40:31
Alexander Feklisov
AKA Alexander Fomin

1:40:34
delclared Consul to the Soviet Embassy
1:40:37
but in reality the KGB Papa Spy
1:40:40
An illustrious tour of duty
during the Great Patriotic War

1:40:43
gets him on the Party fast track
1:40:46
Various tours of duty in KGB
American postings

1:40:51
He's an expert on us
1:40:52
And that is all we got on Papa Spy
1:40:58
How do you become the KGB top spy
in the United States?
