Summary
Soviet officials confront Captain Danko after Viktor escapes. They demand a full report, but Danko says there is nothing to report and that the Americans can explain what happened.
The officials accuse Danko of letting Viktor slip away. They warn that Viktor could now send “American poison” back through Georgian channels and complain that the incident has embarrassed them internationally.
The exchange becomes a heated dressing-down. The officials call Danko a fool, while he refuses to air the details publicly. They tell him they have arranged for him to return to Moscow, where his superiors will be waiting.
