He assigns Sonja to worm her way into 326s confidence. She convinces 326 that she has just shot a man who tried to force himself on her. He hides her from the police.What Haghi does not anticipate is that the couple will fall in love. Unwilling to betray 326, she quietly slips away after they spend the afternoon and evening together. He trails her to Colonel Jellusic, whom he mistakes for her lover she is actually paying him for his treason. Haghi suspects Sonyas feelings for 326. When she refuses to act against 326, he confines her to a room in his secret headquarters. ........
