The Soviet Master Spy - Rudolf Abel (4x17)

Air date: Jun 27, 2015

Trenchcoats, bugs and secret agents are things we all know from the movies. But the Cold War was a busy time for spies from the USA and the Soviet Union. The USSR sent a real master spy to New York during this golden time of espionage: Rudolf Abel. Dead drops, secret hideouts and multiple identities, he really thought of everything when he was sending nuclear secrets back home. But he didn't account for one thing: The clumsiness of his assistant.
