89      INT. COMMUNICATIONS ROOM – SOVIET EMBASSY – DAY                         89

 

Prevlov and Marganin study photos and maps on a table.

 

PREVLOV

It doesn’t make sense.  Our

geologists are saying this mine

has existed on the island  of

Novaya for almost seventy

years and there was no record

of it in Moscow?

 

MARGANIN

(he nods)

They say it was an American

adventure.  A dead American

soldier is buried in the mine. 

And all the mining equipment

they found there was made in

the United States.

 

PREVLOV

(he studies the report)

Byzanium.  I’ve never heard of it.

 

MARGANIN

It’s very rare.  Not well known

at all.  No one has ever paid

much attention to it.

 

PREVLOV

(after a beat)

Except the Americans.
