The narrator sits stunned and Wirtanen continues to tell him of his friends' betrayal. Kraft/Potapov wanted to get the narrator to another country were he could be more easily kidnapped. Mexico was the choice. Wirtanen tells the narrator that there is a plane waiting for him in Mexico right now ready to take him to Moscow. It seems the Russians want to use the narrator as an example that the American are hiding such people, and they also want to see if he will confess to all sorts of collusion between the Americans and the Nazis at the start of the Nazi regime. This information is so important to them that they will threaten death to get it. However, it was Resi's death, not his.
It all becomes clear to the narrator now......
