He then fires a shot into the back window of the car, and then he and Helen drag Nick's body into the car and continue on their way.</div> <bR> <div> Paul meets up with them in a nearby village, and is horrified to find his friend dead.  After Vlasek and Helen go up to their hotel room, Paul studies the pattern of bullets in the car, and realizes what has happened. Paul is just going down the hall of the hotel to confront the couple when he is knocked out.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 328 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11d9902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Ben Gazzara, George Ives and Stephen McNally in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Mike explains the strategy to Paul</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> His assailants are CIA agents, one being his friend Mike Allen. They explain that Nick was killed to give Vlasek's escape authenticity, but instead of being able to act as spies in America, Mike says that knowing their true intent will be as good as having an agent in Vlasek's country. Paul, who had expected that they'd be arrested, tried and imprisoned, hears that the couple will be treated as national heroes. “Mike, every time I meet you, you take a little piece of my soul,” Paul says.  And while limousines and outriders escort Vlasek and Helen from the village to the sound of martial music, Paul kneels by the grave of Nick Cooper as they pass.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> Notes & Comments:  Once again we are expect to suspend reality to make this episode work at all. To believe that leaving the Eastern Block involves only crossing one country's checkpoint without having to immediately show papers to get into a western one. That the name of a CIA agent would be widely known by US Embassy personnel in another. Not to mention that border post barriers are particularly designed not to be knocked down with ease.</div> <bR> <div> Helen stresses how secret her meetings with Paul have to be, but instead of getting together somewhere quiet and obscure, she meets him in a place where anyone watching her could easily observe.</div> <bR> <div> What remains a mystery is whether Vlasek would have shot Paul after getting past  the border, and then riddled the car with bullets, had Paul been able to cross as his passenger without difficulty.  The idea that an American assistant had to be killed to make the escape seem genuine is a bit flimsy, but it did give the ending great poignancy, Pat Harrington having played his sympathic part with such genuineness.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://run4.us/journal/5_10april66.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://run4.us/journal/5_10april66.htm"><IMG SRC="170f242c0.jpg" border=0 width="804" height="44" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> and watch a video clip from the episode on the same page!</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="893" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 270 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11dcaddc0.jpg" border=0 width="173" height="220" ALT="Pat Harrington Jr. in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Pat Harrington Jr.</div> <div> as Nick Cooper</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11db8bdc0.jpg" border=0 width="139" height="220" ALT="John Van Dreelen in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> John Van Dreelen</div> <div> as Jan Vlasek</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11da91dc0.jpg" border=0 width="145" height="220" ALT="Stephen McNally in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Stephen McNally</div> <div> as Mike Allen</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11ddb6dc0.jpg" border=0 width="182" height="220" ALT="nger Stratton as in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Inger Stratton as</div> <div> Helen Novotny</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11e0a6dc0.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="220" ALT="Gregory Gay in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Gregory Gay</div> <div> as Straka</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1023" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 270 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11dea3dc0.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="220" ALT="Dabney Coleman in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Dabney Coleman</div> <div> as Fred Palmer</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="11e5abdc0.jpg" border=0 width="171" height="220" ALT="James B.
