Elliott and Lily fear that no one can be trusted. They must get to Blunt before anyone else to interrogate him and confirm their suspicions.
Lily has forced Elliot to remember more than he perhaps ever wanted to about Philby. Months later, Elliott receives a letter from Philby asking for a meeting in an East Berlin bar.
Philby begins to understand that the KGB can never fully trust him now that he’s in Moscow, and as far as they’re concerned, his life as a spy for them is over.
In the wake of Kim Philby’s escape to Moscow, his closest friend in Britain’s Secret Service, Nicholas Elliott, is under investigation.
