:31:00
Yes, sir.
:31:02
It was a very clear action
for a night action.
:31:06
Captain Marco sent up some low flares,
:31:08
so it was easy to see
what was happening.
:31:11
Bobby Lembeck got separated to the left.
:31:14
Mavole went after him.
:31:16
By the time he reached him,
the enemy had a fix on the position.
:31:21
They were killed instantly
by a high mortar shell.
:31:24
I don't think they ever knew what hit 'em.
:31:26
Do you realise, comrade,
the implications of the weapon
:31:30
that has been placed at your disposal?
:31:32
You may remove your head bandage,
Raymond.
:31:35
A normally conditioned American
who has been trained to kill,
:31:39
and then to have
no memory of having killed.
:31:42
Without memory of his deed,
he cannot possibly feel guilt.
:31:47
Nor will he, of course,
have any reason to fear being caught.
:31:51
Having been relieved of those uniquely
American symptoms, guilt and fear,
:31:55
he cannot possibly give himself away.
:31:59
Our Raymond will remain
an outwardly normal, productive, sober
:32:04
and respected member of the community.
:32:06
And I should say,
if properly used, entirely police-proof.
:32:10
His brain has not only
been washed, as they say,
:32:14
it has been dry-cleaned.
:32:20
Thank you, Raymond.
You may replace your head bandage.
:32:24
Sealed floors or no, you will permit him
to have visitors, to avoid suspicion.
:32:29
- Of course.
- My specialists are being flown in tonight.
:32:32
It will take about a week,
working between visiting hours,
:32:35
to check the mechanism out.
:32:37
It's been, after all, two years
since the conditioning took place.
:32:42
You want to be sure the linkages
are still functioning correctly
:32:46
before he's turned over
to his American operator.
:32:49
Ach! Now, comrade,
if you will excuse me.
:32:52
Where are you going?
:32:54
Since I can do nothing
until my specialists arrive,
:32:57
I had thought
to spend the afternoon at Macy's.
