Bishop tells Callan that a British official working in Moscow has been expelled as a spy, despite the fact that he isn't one. In return, Bishop says that they must expell a Russian embassy employee and they must harass one of them until he wants to go back.
The job of harassment is handed to Cross. The man is named Medov and he is the cultural attachee to Moscow with a wife and young daughter. In the end Medov cracks under the strain, and approaches Cross asking for asylum. He says that once you start being harassed you become suspect. While all this is happening, Medov's young daughter attacks Cross who accidentally strikes her over the head with his gun butt.
The girl ends up in a critical condition in hospital with brain damage.
