Havana Helmet Club - 6. The Thing

When the room begins spinning wildly, CIA agent Marc believes he has been hit on an assignment in Moscow. It turns out, an eerily similar phenomena in the Russian capital - affecting US embassy staff – happened before, in the 1970s…

Meanwhile, Adam - back on US soil - begins to suspect he is being followed. And the search is on for an untraceable weapon.
