Knowing that Farrell has the printout, Brice improvises a different story: Pritchard, who is gay, killed Atwell because he was jealous of Brice's relationship with her. The devastated Pritchard commits suicide and, when guards break in, is identified as "Yuri", concluding the search for the murderous spy. Farrell quietly sends the printout by courier to the Director of the CIA, an enemy of Brice, then leaves the Pentagon, as the finished image enhancement of the photograph positively reveals Farrell as Atwell's lover.
