The Secret Agent

Summoned by the Russians, Verloc is given a mission to orchestrate a bombing that can be blamed on the anarchists and provoke a political crackdown by the British.

After recruiting Winnie's younger brother Stevie to help him in his plot, Verloc goes with the boy to Michaelis' country home.

As the authorities struggle to make sense of the rationale behind the Greenwich attack, Chief Inspector Heat moves to arrest Verloc.

Winnie, devastated by the bomb outrage, confronts Verloc and flees into the arms of Ossipon. The pair go on the run, taking a midnight train to Southampton for the ferry to France. But the police, led by Chief Inspector Heat, are in hot pursuit
