Speaker 1: I was a communist for the FBI.
Speaker 2: Starring Dana Andrews and an exciting tale of danger and espionage,
Speaker 2: I was a communist for the FBI.
Speaker 3: I was a communist for the FBI.
Speaker 2: You are about to hear a strange story. Names, dates,
Speaker 2: and places are, for obvious reasons, fictional. But many of
Speaker 2: these incidents are based on the actual experiences of Matt Svetik,
Speaker 2: who for nine fantastic years lived as a communist for
Speaker 2: the FBI. Here is our star, Dana Andrews, as Matt Svetik.
Speaker 4: For nine years, I was like the Dutch boy at
Speaker 4: a broken dike, trying to plug leaks that could widen
Speaker 4: into a torrent and a flood. fighting in the darkness
Speaker 4: of undercover to prevent disaster, dreaming a strange recurring dream
Speaker 4: that the water trickling ominously from the breaches in the.
Speaker 1: Dike was red, blood, blood red. Nine long years.
Speaker 2: In a moment, listen to Dana Andrews as Matt Sabatik,
Speaker 2: Undercover Man.
Speaker 3: Undercover Man.
Speaker 2: Now here is Dana Andrews as Matt Svetik, undercover man.
Speaker 2: This story from the confidential file is marked Abby, as
Speaker 2: in Abigail.
Speaker 5: The End.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have days like this. Days when I want.
Speaker 4: To crawl into a deep hole and just sulk. Or
Speaker 4: do some hard physical work to sweat the venom and.
Speaker 1: Self-hate out of my system.
Speaker 4: Days like this, I hate the words communism, sell, Trotskyite,
Speaker 4: common form, agitprop, party line.
Speaker 1: Hate them.
Speaker 4: But there's Comrade Revchenko fronting for Moscow. And he's got
Speaker 4: party work for me again. Like it or not. And
Speaker 4: I hate it. Days like today.
Speaker 5: Comrade Svetik, you know, of course, about the organization known
Speaker 5: as the American Rally for Peace and Tolerance.
Speaker 1: The ARPAT? Yes. Something for us to infiltrate, I take it?
Speaker 5: My dear Svetik, do you pretend not to know that
Speaker 5: the ARPAT has been a communist front for five years?
Speaker 1: I'm not pretending anything. I just didn't know it. Strange.
Speaker 1: The FBI knows it. The FBI?
Speaker 5: At least the Arpette is suspected of being a party front.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's something else again. Nothing I can do about it,
Speaker 1: is there?
Speaker 5: You will think of something to reestablish confidence in the
Speaker 5: American rally for peace and tolerance before it's too late.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty big order, coming cold like this.
Speaker 5: 280 local members of Arpette will cooperate in any workable
Speaker 5: plan to whitewash them.
Speaker 1: Hasn't the Kremlin a plan? Why are we the patsies?
Speaker 1: Five o'clock, Comrade Svetik. What about five o'clock? I will
Speaker 1: be waiting here for you. to discuss your plan. I
Speaker 1: go out, steaming quietly.
Speaker 4: I find a good, safe pay station and telephone my
Speaker 4: FBI contact. It's my day to be disagreeable, all right.
Speaker 4: I suddenly hate all the hocus-pocus of calling the FBI
Speaker 4: and using that red pony to blue fox gibberish so
Speaker 4: necessary to secrecy. I even resent having to call the
Speaker 4: perfectly respectable little cafe where we meet, Rendezvous Green. When
Speaker 4: my FBI contact walks in, I'm waiting for him with
Speaker 4: acid in my soul. I tell him of the assignment
Speaker 4: Revchenko has tossed into my lap and incidentally let off
Speaker 4: a lot of dangerously explosive steam.
Speaker 3: And you say you're supposed to come up with an
Speaker 3: idea by five this evening?
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 4: Somewhere, Revchenko heard that Rome was built in a day
Speaker 4: and that Svetik.
Speaker 1: Was the architect.
Speaker 3: The noblest Roman of them all.
Speaker 1: Funny. I never was so close to chucking this job
Speaker 1: as I am right now.
Speaker 3: What's the matter?
Speaker 1: Just once, that's all.
Speaker 4: Just once I'd like to perform some straight right-handed service
Speaker 4: for my country.
Speaker 1: No strings attached.
Speaker 3: We always wanted to be dead sure that the RPAT
Speaker 3: was really a red front. We are sure now, thanks
Speaker 3: to you. That's a big service, Matt.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 4: But now I've got to whitewash a red front. And
Speaker 4: somebody's going to get hurt in the process.
Speaker 1: To fight, Matt.
Speaker 3: War means casualties.
Speaker 1: Just once. I'd like to do a lot of good
Speaker 1: without doing even a little harm.
Speaker 3: Well, you have any ideas for Revchenko come five o'clock?
Speaker 1: Blank. Nothing.
Speaker 3: Maybe you're fighting it too hard.
Speaker 1: Have you got any inspirations? No. Are you fighting it
Speaker 1: too hard? You've got me there, man. I'll think of something. Matcha,
Speaker 1: who pays for the lunch? Call it. Edson. As it is.
Speaker 1: Best thing that's happened to me all week. See you around.
Speaker 1: Good luck, man.
Speaker 3: Keep in touch.
Speaker 6: Look out!
Speaker 1: Watch it!
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Nice going, gal.
Speaker 6: Are you hurt? Did I hit you at all?
Speaker 1: No, no.
Speaker 6: Oh, I did.
Speaker 1: I'll just graze my knee with your bumper.
Speaker 6: Is that all?
Speaker 1: That's funny. Getting nicked by a Red Cross station wagon.
Speaker 6: I'm just a volunteer in the Red Cross blood donor service.
Speaker 6: You're sure you're all right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 6: You better come with me.
Speaker 1: Where to?
Speaker 6: The hospital.
Speaker 1: I tell you, I'm perfectly okay.
Speaker 6: No, take my arm. And don't argue, please.
Speaker 1: All right, nurse.
Speaker 6: I'm not a nurse.
Speaker 1: I'm just doing this to humor you, not draw crowds.
Speaker 6: You get in first, can you?
Speaker 1: No, go on, slide in.
Speaker 7: All right, but..
Speaker 6: Now, can you get in alone?
Speaker 1: With my dying effort. Like so.
Speaker 6: I don't want to quarrel, but you really stepped right
Speaker 6: out in front of me.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I can't discuss it.
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: See my lawyer.
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 1: No, I was off in a cloud. Polyclinic, Polly.
Speaker 6: Oh, you had me worried.
Speaker 4: I watch the girl secretly as she drives. Carefully, yet
Speaker 4: relaxed and confident. And very, very fetching in the blue
Speaker 4: uniform of the Red Cross volunteers.
Speaker 1: I say girl. She isn't quite. Thirty, maybe. With a
Speaker 1: look of kindliness and patience maturing her eyes and mouth.
Speaker 1: It's a firm, good face... Tempered, it seems to me,
Speaker 1: in sadness and experience. I like it. And I like her.
Speaker 4: I make conversation to hear her voice and to find
Speaker 4: out what I can about her.
Speaker 1: While I can.
Speaker 4: Your time is short with decent people when you're a
Speaker 4: communist for the FBI.
Speaker 1: Blood donor service, you said?
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: Nice jobs, these station wagons.
Speaker 6: Well, this one's fairly new.
Speaker 1: Expensive?
Speaker 6: I'd rather not say. You see, they're often donated to us.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see. You don't want to put a price
Speaker 1: on generosity.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 1: This car donated?
Speaker 6: It says on the door panel.
Speaker 1: I didn't notice.
Speaker 6: In memory of Major Robert Quinton.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 6: How's the leg?
Speaker 1: Oh, nary a pang.
Speaker 6: We better exchange cards anyhow, just in case.
Speaker 1: I'm just plain Matt Svetik. No steel engraved cards.
Speaker 6: I'm Mrs. Robert Quinton.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: You donated the car, then?
Speaker 6: You can reach me through the Red Cross.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it won't be necessary. You must be
Speaker 4: pretty busy anyhow.
Speaker 6: But unfortunately, no.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 8: People don't quite realize the importance of the blood donor program.
Speaker 8: The urgent need for blood plasma and whole blood war
Speaker 8: or peace.
Speaker 1: Maybe it takes you to tell them.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 6: When did you last give blood? I won't pursue the point.
Speaker 4: Well, I wish I could explain, especially to somebody like you. Well,
Speaker 4: I mean, somebody who's lost somebody.
Speaker 1: No, never mind. I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: He was a training flight. He was an instructor.
Speaker 1: They're just as gone, however they go.
Speaker 6: Oh, you get over it, you try.
Speaker 8: The blood bank has its share of visitors who are
Speaker 8: getting over it.
Speaker 6: Without forgetting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I study the strong, gentle contours of her face. I
Speaker 4: like her laughter, but her melancholy pierces me through and through.
Speaker 1: All at once, I feel.
Speaker 4: Exactly like shedding about 500 cubic centimeters of civetic blood
Speaker 4: without any strings attached. I want to do something for somebody,
Speaker 4: whether my red comrades like it or.
Speaker 1: Not, and they won't.
Speaker 4: I haven't an idea in my head for Revchenko and Arpat,
Speaker 4: the communist front crowd right now.
Speaker 1: I'm in business for myself, personally. Look, how about this?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I'm not hurt, see?
Speaker 6: Well, we'll let the doctor decide that.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll let the doctor decide it.
Speaker 4: Drive me around the block to the blood bank and
Speaker 4: let the doctor there decide if I'm okay.
Speaker 1: And if I am... I'd like to donate a pint
Speaker 1: of blood. What's the matter?
Speaker 8: Well, are you..
Speaker 6: You're not just doing this for me.
Speaker 1: Let's say I'm doing it for me. Blood bank, Polly.
Speaker 6: Then I better make a right turn here. And the
Speaker 6: name is Abby.
Speaker 1: Abby as in Westminster?
Speaker 6: Abby as in Abigail.
Speaker 1: Matt as in Sovietic.
Speaker 2: How do you do?
Speaker 8: Fine.
Speaker 1: Fine. I'm feeling strangely exhilarated, lightheaded. I feel great.
Speaker 4: Inside of 20 minutes, I'm lying on a cot in
Speaker 4: the blood donor center with a dozen other donors. I
Speaker 4: watch a half-liter flask fill up with 500 cubic centimeters
Speaker 4: of Matthew Svetik. I don't feel a thing except that
Speaker 4: strange exhilaration.
Speaker 1: Then, it's over.
Speaker 4: The nurse helps me off the cot, and here comes Abby,
Speaker 4: as in Abigail, to usher me into the commissary for refreshments.
Speaker 6: How do you feel, Mr.
Speaker 8: Svetik?
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel fine.
Speaker 6: Keep that bandage on your arm until tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The nurse told me.
Speaker 6: And drink lots of fluids.
Speaker 1: As if I ever drink anything but fluids.
Speaker 6: Well, it's good we met.
Speaker 1: Isn't it? I think so.
Speaker 6: Come back soon?
Speaker 1: I'll check directly with you, if that's all right with you.
Speaker 6: That would be all right, yes.
Speaker 1: Well, fun's fun, but I've got to be going.
Speaker 6: Goodbye, Mr.
Speaker 8: Svetik.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And thank you. I'm still feeling pretty good, and I
Speaker 1: nod and grin inanely at other donors waiting their turn
Speaker 1: in the foyer. Walk outside.
Speaker 4: Pretty soon I come down to Earth again and remember
Speaker 4: it's time for my regular telephone check with Revchenko.
Speaker 3: Svetik?
Speaker 1: Yes? I must see you at once. You said you
Speaker 1: wanted to see me at five o'clock.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you now that I want to see you now.
Speaker 1: I haven't given the Arpat situation enough thought yet. Now, Svetik.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Ahead for headquarters, the exhilaration of the blood bank all evaporated.
Speaker 4: I'm worried whenever Revchenko takes that blunt attitude. When I
Speaker 4: walk into his office, I know right off the heat
Speaker 4: is on and hot. Tell me about your morning, Comrade Svetik.
Speaker 1: What do you mean, after I left you this morning?
Speaker 1: After you left me this morning, yes. Well, first I...
Speaker 1: So why? Just tell me, that's all. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: your day. Well, nothing much... I walked around, had lunch. Where?
Speaker 1: Where did I walk? Where did you have lunch? What's
Speaker 1: the difference? Some little joint?
Speaker 5: Near the blood donor center, perhaps?
Speaker 1: Could be.
Speaker 5: In the blood donor center, perhaps?
Speaker 1: I don't get you.
Speaker 5: You do know, however, that it is sharply forbidden for
Speaker 5: party members to cooperate in any way with the American
Speaker 5: Red Cross?
Speaker 1: Certainly I do. Why?
Speaker 5: Comrade Cervetek, roll up your sleeve.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dana Andrews, starring as Matt Siverik in
Speaker 2: I Was a Communist for the FBI and.
Speaker 1: The second act of our story.
Speaker 4: I've got to think fast. If Revchenko learns I actually
Speaker 4: gave blood at the blood bank, I'm in serious trouble.
Speaker 4: The bandage is in the crook of my left arm.
Speaker 4: I fumble at the cuff of my right sleeve, stalling
Speaker 4: for time, thinking hard and fast, fighting down panic. If
Speaker 4: Revchenko learns the truth, I'm through in the Communist Party
Speaker 4: and useless, therefore, to the FBI. And then, with a
Speaker 4: kind of a little shock of discovery, I get my inspiration.
Speaker 1: Idea. A great idea.
Speaker 5: Why were you seen coming out of the Blythe Street
Speaker 5: blood donor center?
Speaker 7: Huh?
Speaker 1: Who saw me? Does it matter? You were seen.
Speaker 4: I was working on an idea for the American Rally
Speaker 4: for Peace and Tolerance.
Speaker 5: That's why you betray your party?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that, Revchenko. What would you say, then?
Speaker 1: Look here.
Speaker 4: Suppose the ARPAT volunteers en masse to contribute blood.
Speaker 1: Are you insane?
Speaker 4: We give a couple of hundred pints of blood, sure.
Speaker 4: But we publicize it big. We build up ARPAT as
Speaker 4: a patriotic force, giving their blood for Uncle Sam. A
Speaker 4: few people may still have their doubts, but mostly it'll
Speaker 4: be a lot easier sledding for the rally from there
Speaker 4: on in. I can arrange to take over the Blythe
Speaker 4: Street Donor Center for the day. Photographs, reporters, sob interviews,
Speaker 4: some good old fonus balonus about our American responsibilities to America,
Speaker 4: the works.
Speaker 1: Leave it all to me, and it's a breeze. Huh?
Speaker 5: How soon can this be done?
Speaker 1: I'll get on it right away.
Speaker 3: Not bad, Svetik.
Speaker 1: Get on with it. Hello? Hello, Abby? Mrs. Quentin? Hello? Oh, Abby,
Speaker 1: I struck big paydirt for you.
Speaker 8: Mr. Svedek?
Speaker 4: I think I've talked 280 members of the American Rally
Speaker 4: for Peace and Tolerance into coming down and giving blood.
Speaker 3: Oh, how wonderful.
Speaker 4: The question is, can you handle it all in one day?
Speaker 8: Well, name the day, that's all.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow?
Speaker 8: Oh, well, that would mean some cancellations, and we don't
Speaker 8: want to lose a single donor.
Speaker 1: The next day, then.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 1: What time?
Speaker 8: Early. Dawn to dusk.
Speaker 4: That's a contract, girl. I'll call you about exact arrangements later.
Speaker 4: So long for now.
Speaker 8: Matt.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Thank you, Matt. So much.
Speaker 1: Matt, she called me. Matt.
Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty good as I hit the telephone and
Speaker 4: make arrangements with RPAT, the newspapers and the local radio
Speaker 4: for publicity on the Grand Gesture. It's almost too good
Speaker 4: to believe. I've actually conned the party into giving blood
Speaker 4: to the American Red Cross. Two mornings later, the comrades
Speaker 4: of our Pats start showing up bright and early, and
Speaker 4: for the rest of the long day, there isn't a
Speaker 4: dull moment. Somewhere, long late in the afternoon, I make
Speaker 4: my routine telephone check with Revchenko and get the first
Speaker 4: hint of sudden disaster.
Speaker 1: Svetik, report to my office immediately.
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 1: What's the matter? Don't talk now.
Speaker 3: Do as I say.
Speaker 1: Report here at once. But I..
Speaker 3: At once, Svetik.
Speaker 1: Now what?
Speaker 5: News of your scheme has reached the highest echelons of
Speaker 5: our apparatus in America. It simply will not do to
Speaker 5: give blood to a culture we despise.
Speaker 1: But don't they understand? We've gotten great value for it.
Speaker 1: Our pad will be in the clear again.
Speaker 5: I tell you it will not do, Semitic.
Speaker 1: And I tell you it's done. Then undo it. How?
Speaker 5: Destroy the blood flasks somehow.
Speaker 1: I can't do that. You can't, but you will. I'll
Speaker 1: try to think of something. You must.
Speaker 5: When can you bring me a plan?
Speaker 1: I'll call you later. I'll be here, Savitik. Waiting.
Speaker 3: Tough situation, Matt.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to drag the FBI into this more
Speaker 1: than I had to, but I need help.
Speaker 3: I hate to be this negative about it, Matt, but
Speaker 3: you have no choice. Let the comrades get back their blood.
Speaker 1: I won't do it. No other choice, Matt. So what
Speaker 1: is there to do?
Speaker 3: The idea is to have a comrade pose as a
Speaker 3: hold-up man making his escape. He stops a blood transport
Speaker 3: on the highway at gunpoint, commandeers the car, and hides
Speaker 3: it away for two days. If whole blood isn't processed
Speaker 3: in two days, it's worthless.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it begins to take shape.
Speaker 3: Hey, don't dare actually destroy the flasks. I would point
Speaker 3: the finger straight at them, as you point out.
Speaker 1: Oh, that'll work all right. It's just a shame, that's all.
Speaker 3: Find out when the blood will be taken out tonight
Speaker 3: to the processing center. Call Revchenko, tell him your plan,
Speaker 3: and describe the route of the car.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He'll get some zealous comrade to flag it
Speaker 1: down all right.
Speaker 3: Better get going on it right away, Matt.
Speaker 4: I call Abby, find out the time she's leaving with
Speaker 4: the unprocessed blood, learn the route, and make a date
Speaker 4: to ride down with her.
Speaker 1: To the processing lab.
Speaker 4: Then I call Revchenko, make an appointment with him, and
Speaker 4: give him the layout. He likes it. Why shouldn't he
Speaker 4: like it? It was cut to measure by the FBI.
Speaker 4: I wait for 9.30 at night and ride the long
Speaker 4: ride to the processing lab in Abby Quinton's heavily loaded
Speaker 4: station wagon. Very, very bad company for a good-looking widow.
Speaker 6: Matt, what's the matter?
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 6: Why have you been so quiet?
Speaker 4: Well, I can get these moods.
Speaker 6: Good thing for a girl to know.
Speaker 1: Pretty dark stretch, isn't it?
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 6: It perfectly by now.
Speaker 1: Is it always so deserted?
Speaker 8: I picked it because it's deserted. I don't like traffic
Speaker 8: around when I'm driving blood.
Speaker 6: Too precious to risk.
Speaker 1: It's packed securely, isn't it?
Speaker 6: Heavy wooden cases, cork liners, metal petitions. But a hard
Speaker 6: blow and somebody might lose out. Burned child. Wounded soldier. Somebody.
Speaker 6: So many somebodies.
Speaker 1: Oh, Abby, look out! Oh! There's somebody in the road.
Speaker 6: He's waving at us, limping.
Speaker 1: Don't get out. He can make it.
Speaker 7: Thanks, friend.
Speaker 1: Thanks, friend.
Speaker 6: What's the matter? What's wrong?
Speaker 7: My car spun off the highway.
Speaker 1: Are you hurt? I don't know. Get me to a hospital.
Speaker 6: Well, climb in.
Speaker 4: Give him your hand, Matt.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 7: Thanks, pal.
Speaker 1: Now get rolling. Fast. Go easy on that trigger, pal.
Speaker 7: Then get going.
Speaker 1: Better do it, Abby. Sorry, friends. That's all right. It's
Speaker 1: a pleasure.
Speaker 7: A little job went wrong in a gas station. I
Speaker 7: had to blast the attendants. Cops put an APB on
Speaker 7: this short wave with a description of my car.
Speaker 1: Had to change transportation.
Speaker 7: Understand?
Speaker 1: Perfectly.
Speaker 7: Red cross car, huh?
Speaker 1: Couldn't have picked better.
Speaker 7: Take a left at the next interchange or I'm not responsible.
Speaker 1: You hear me?
Speaker 8: I hear you.
Speaker 1: Watch it, girl.
Speaker 6: He killed one man.
Speaker 8: I won't let him kill 50. There are 300 pints
Speaker 8: of whole blood in this car.
Speaker 6: All with the necessary tests made at the center.
Speaker 8: Emergency. Emergency.
Speaker 1: Emergency?
Speaker 6: There's been an urgent call for whole blood to be
Speaker 6: flown overseas.
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to the processing center.
Speaker 6: We branch off on the airport road.
Speaker 7: You take the next interchange, lady. No airport. Don't miss it, lady.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't count on it if I were you.
Speaker 4: She means it.
Speaker 1: I know she's telling the truth.
Speaker 4: There are 300 pints of life stored away behind us
Speaker 4: in those blue cases. And I don't much care what
Speaker 4: might happen to me if I try to help and
Speaker 4: get those cases delivered to that plane.
Speaker 1: I want to look real good come Judgment Day. I
Speaker 1: want to look good to the Abby Quintins of this world.
Speaker 1: And to this special Abby Quinton in particular. Only how?
Speaker 4: Wreck the station wagon and hope to reload on a
Speaker 4: passing truck or car?
Speaker 1: What if we burn? Suppose the flasks are all smashed.
Speaker 4: Suppose we're hurt and helpless to explain the situation to
Speaker 4: any passerby.
Speaker 1: Suppose... Suppose she's killed. Think, Semetic. Think and act. Do something.
Speaker 1: Watch it, Mal.
Speaker 7: Interchange is dead ahead.
Speaker 1: What's that? I don't know, but I can guess. We've
Speaker 1: been going over 80. Cops? Yeah. They're flashing us now.
Speaker 7: Step on it, you.
Speaker 1: Get moving.
Speaker 6: I can't go any faster.
Speaker 1: Do you want to direct the car, you lunatic? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to direct the car.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah. You're crazy. That's right, lady. You're so right, lady.
Speaker 1: Yell at them. Tell them Red Cross. Tell them emergency.
Speaker 8: Tell them.
Speaker 7: Go on.
Speaker 1: That's all right, officers.
Speaker 8: Emergency.
Speaker 1: Red Cross to airport.
Speaker 8: Emergency.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: Stop.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: Too late, lady. They're going places.
Speaker 8: No. No.
Speaker 6: They want us to follow. This is funny. They're giving
Speaker 6: us a police escort to the airport.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, they're not.
Speaker 6: Isn't it funny, though?
Speaker 8: It's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Well, let me get that wheel. What are you..
Speaker 6: Stop.
Speaker 1: You fool.
Speaker 6: No, don't.
Speaker 1: You'll break.
Speaker 8: It, you fool.
Speaker 1: I wake up slowly. It smells like a hospital. Then
Speaker 1: like perfume. It's both. I see clean gray walls. I
Speaker 1: see Abby smiling down at me.
Speaker 2: Hi, Matt.
Speaker 1: You're a mess.
Speaker 8: Listen to you.
Speaker 6: What's a black eye and a patch on my cheek?
Speaker 8: Look at you.
Speaker 1: What about me?
Speaker 6: Nothing permanent. You took the windshield way out.
Speaker 1: What about the flasks? Did it all smash?
Speaker 6: Just a few bottles. The police put the rest aboard
Speaker 6: almost on schedule.
Speaker 1: And they have our gun-happy friend Well, that's fine.
Speaker 6: I'll be back tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 4: Good night, Matt.
Speaker 1: Bye, Abby. As in Abigail.
Speaker 4: She's back the next night. And the next and the next.
Speaker 4: She's probably back the following night, too.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. Because I'm gone by then. Because I
Speaker 1: don't think.
Speaker 4: I can face her evening after evening without losing my
Speaker 4: nerve and my job with the FBI.
Speaker 1: I'd go soft. I'd chicken. So I'm out of.
Speaker 4: There before visiting hour the fourth night around. The comrades
Speaker 4: can't say I didn't try. So I'm in the clear.
Speaker 4: They won't wreck another blood transport car. Twice might rub
Speaker 4: the whitewash off the American rally for peace and tolerance.
Speaker 4: They don't know that the FBI knows what's underneath that whitewash.
Speaker 1: Red. Bright red.
Speaker 4: So maybe I don't do too badly at times, but
Speaker 4: it gets harder and harder to say goodbye when the
Speaker 4: Abby Quintins say goodnight. But I'm a communist for the FBI.
Speaker 4: I walk alone.
Speaker 2: Dana Andrews will return in just a moment. This is
Speaker 2: Dana Andrews.
Speaker 4: The play you've just heard is typical of the fantastic
Speaker 4: undercover behind-the-scenes struggle for America and the entire world. It
Speaker 4: was another story stemming from the real experiences of Matt Svetik,
Speaker 4: who worked undercover for the FBI. Next week, another exciting
Speaker 4: and compelling adventure. So be with us, won't you?
Speaker 1: See you.
