Three Days of the Condor
Higgins discovers that the postman who attacked Turner in Hale's apartment was a former US Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and CIA operative. After cross-referencing the name with the files on Wicks, finds that he collaborated with both Wicks and Joubert on a previous operation called "Lucifer 2." Turner calls Higgins to find out who Atwood is. The stunned Higgins can't reply, since the same Atwood that Turner is implicating in this conspiracy is sitting in the very same room as Higgins and his superior, Mr. Wabash (John Houseman). Knowing that Wicks was silenced for a reason, Higgins puts the pieces of the conspiracy together and informs Wabash, who implies that the matter should be closed using outside help, if necessary.
Turner and Hale say their goodbyes at the train station and Turner takes the train to Maryland. He tracks down the renegade CIA director to his home and questions him at gunpoint and learns that Wicks told Atwood about Condor's report, which was why his "section" was hit. It was Atwood's network he discovered. Turner pieces it together on his own, the renegade plan to take over middle east oilfields.
Turner goes back to New York and meets Higgins on a busy street. When Higgins offers him a ride, Turner recognizes Joubert's warning and turns him down. When Turner quizzes Higgins about Atwood's plans, Higgins defends the oil-fields plan, claiming that there will be a day in which oil shortages will cause a major economic crisis for the country. And when that day comes, Americans will want the government to use any means necessary to obtain the oil. Turner says he has told the press "a story" (they are standing outside The New York Times office), but Higgins questions Turner's assurances that the story will be printed. After a brief dialogue, an anxious Turner glances at Higgins and the New York Times office, then hastily walks away. The final shot is a freeze frame of Turner passing behind a Salvation Army band singing Christmas carols while looking over his shoulder back at Higgins.
