No Way Out

U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Farrell attends a ball where he meets Susan Atwell. Their immediate chemistry leads to a passionate affair, despite Susan being involved with someone else.

During a naval deployment, Tom Farrell showcases bravery by rescuing a fellow sailor amidst a fierce storm. This act of heroism brings him recognition and a move to Washington D.C.

Following his heroic act, Farrell is assigned to work at The Pentagon under Secretary of Defense David Brice. His old friend, General Counsel Scott Pritchard, recommends him for this important role.

As Farrell begins his new role, he discovers that Susan's other lover is none other than Secretary Brice himself. Brice, in a jealous rage, confronts Susan, leading to a tragic turn of events.

In a fit of jealousy, Brice slaps Susan, causing her to fall from an indoor balcony to her death. This incident prompts Brice and Pritchard to plot a cover-up to shift the blame.

Brice decides to fabricate a story, suggesting that Susan's lover was a suspected KGB sleeper agent known as 'Yuri.' This conspiracy aims to protect Brice's image and maintain control over the investigation.

Tasked with leading the investigation to find Susan's other lover, Farrell faces a moral dilemma as he realizes he may ultimately have to implicate himself. He secretly seeks evidence linking Brice to the affair.

Farrell begins combing through computer files, searching for a gift given to Susan by Brice that could serve as crucial evidence. Meanwhile, he enlists the help of old friend Sam Hesselman.

Pritchard threatens Nina Beka, Susan's close friend, with deportation to keep her silent. However, Farrell intervenes just in time to rescue her from being killed by covert assassins sent by Pritchard.

As suspicion grows, Sam Hesselman expresses concern about Farrell's revelations to Pritchard. To silence him, Pritchard kills Sam, further deepening the web of deceit surrounding Brice and Farrell.

Farrell retrieves the printout showcasing the evidence against Brice before it becomes visible. In a tense confrontation, Brice deflects the blame onto Pritchard, claiming jealousy as the motive.

In a state of despair after being scapegoated by Brice, Pritchard takes his own life. Brice falsely presents him as 'Yuri' to law enforcement, aiming to absolve himself from blame.

With Pritchard's death, Farrell finds himself free from suspicion and able to leave The Pentagon. He reflects on the chaos that ensued and the people who were affected by the power play.

At Susan's grave, Farrell is approached by plainclothes officers for questioning. To his shock, he realizes that one of them is his landlord, who communicates with him in Russian.

The revelation strikes when it's uncovered that Farrell, known as 'Yuri,' is actually a KGB mole planted in the U.S. He is grappling with his dual life and the repercussions of his assignment as he stands at Susan's grave.
