189    EXT. DECK                                                                                                                  189

 

We PROWL to the stern on a deserted deck.  At the starboard rail on the fantail a man stands smoking

a cigarette and facing the ocean.  His back is to us.  We PUSH IN to a CLOSE SHOT on his right hand. 

It rest on the metal railing.  He holds a small box, like a pocket calculator.  His finger moves quickly from

one button to another.  EASING BACK SLIGHTLY, HOLDING man in f.g., we SEE the Russian ship

three hundred yards off.  This is the Mikhail Kurkov.  We ZOOM to a lighted porthole.

 

190    INT. COMMUNICATIONS ROOM, MIKHAIL KURKOV                                       190

 

A Russian officer sits beside a sophisticated listening device.  It picks up and intensifies the pattern of

electronic signals.  And just beside the device, a tape recorder spins slowly recording it all.
