Episode notes
Slate and Saylor are having lunch and meeting with a man named Johnstone at Shannon's Place. Slate says "There's one thing I don't understand". Johnstone says "Well, please tell me. I'll try to explain". Slate says "Why are we sitting here? It just seems to me talking about this ... well, Shannon's Place is pretty public". Johnstone says "This is known as reverse cloak and dagger in the trade, Mr. Shannon. As far as any of your customers are concerned, we're just sitting here eating cheesecake. Now, shall we go on?" Slate says "I don't think there's anything to go on about. It's just a matter of whether Saylor wants to help you or not". Johnstone says "Sinclair is a clever man, like all foreign agents have to be. We can't have him know that intelligence is on to him. On to what his plans are, and why he's in Havana. It embarrasses me to appeal to your patriotism, Miss Duvall, but whatever I have to do to convince you .... " Saylor says "All I have to do is go to this party, show an ankle, and bear a shoulder to Mr. Sinclair. Is that it?" Johnstone says "And convince him to drive you to this address in San Tomas. I'll meet you there". Slate says "Let me get this straight. A man suddenly disappears in the states, a man named Faulkner. A guy loaded with secrets about nuclear physics. You think he's here in Havana and he's going to contact a foreign agent named Sinclair, right?" Johnstone says "Right. Of course, we'd just love to pick up Faulkner and take him back, but we don't know where he is. Sinclair we do, and Miss Duvall is going to bring him to us".
