HE LEFT THE ARMY WHEN THE HOSTILITIES ENDED, BUT HE DIDN'T GO BACK TO THE CIA. HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BECOME A FREELANCE JOURNALIST, SPECIFICALLY INVESTIGATIVE WORK. HOWEVER, AS FAR AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT SO FAR, NO NEWS AGENCY HAS EVER SPOKEN TO HIM, AS IF HE HAD COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED FROM CIRCULATION!

AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BELIEVE THAT HE'S OUR MAN?

I'M GOING TO GET HOLD OF THE OLD MEDICAL AND DENTAL RECORDS FOR THIS TANNER AND SEND THEM TO DOCTOR JOHANSSON. IN A FEW DAYS AT THE OUTSIDE, WE'LL HAVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER.

AND ASSUMING IT IS HIM, HOW WILL THAT ADVANCE YOUR INVESTIGATION?

AMONGST OTHERS, IT WILL HELP HIM TO REGAIN HIS MEMORY, SIR.

WE HAVE SYSTEMATICALLY ERASED EVERYTHING THAT COULD HELP REMIND NUMBER XIII OF HIS REAL IDENTITY DOWN TO HIS FACE AND HIS FINGERPRINTS. HIS MEMORIES HAVE NOTHING TO ATTACH TO.

BUT IF WE CAN CONFRONT HIM WITH ELEMENTS WITH OF HIS /REAL/ PAST THEN THERE IS A GENUINE HOPE THAT THEY WILL WEAKEN THE WALL THAT SEPARATES HIM FROM HIS PAST, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY.

IN ANY CASE, IT'S STILL OUR BEST CHANCE OF UNMASKING THE PEOPLE WHO BANKROLLED THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT SHERIDAN. AND IT'S A CHANCE WE HAVE TO TAKE BECAUSE, AS YOU SAID YOURSELF, THE CONSPIRACY IS STILL ACTIVE.

THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW, COLONEL. WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU WON'T BE NEEDING ME ANY MORE…

IF YOU HAVE TO CONTACT ME URGENTLY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND ME AT MY GREEN VALLEY RANCH WHERE I'M TAKING A FEW DAYS OFF. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, GENTLEMEN.
