Walter: [Spoken] Tonight's final item is a Global scoop. The former champion, our Freddie Trumper, talks to Anatoly Sergievsky, The man who beat him a year ago, And who is defending his title here right now in Bangkok, Thailand. Let's get that Sergievsky family video lined up, okay? Walter: We all want times in our careers, When we make a little history. Receive the plaudits of our peers, Perhaps that time is here right now for me. Ah Anatoly, if I may, let me say right away, You will be thrilled, because the other seat is filled By a long-standing friend of yours. Action! Frederick: Well, here we are face to face once again. Anatoly: By any standards, a bizarre reunion! Frederick: Is being homeless affecting your game? Anatoly: I wouldn't know, as I have a home in England. Frederick: No, by a home I mean real home--the place where your family is. Anatoly: [Spoken] England is my real home. Frederick: What are your latest political aims? Anatoly: What are you saying? Frederick: Your anti-Russian crusade, has it worked? Anatoly: I am no crusader. Frederick: What is your true motivation? That is something we all want to know. Anatoly: [Spoken] You know damn well what my motivation is, okay? Frederick: Here we see a man under great pressure-- Two fights to fight, yet he could not look fresher. Chess and politics, I take my hat off. To any champion, who can pull that off? I hear your second controls everything. Anatoly: Chess is her passion. Frederick: But her obsession is East versus West. Anatoly: Chess is her passion. Frederick: I know a little about her, And she has got her own ax to grind. Anatoly: [Spoken] That is not true. Frederick: Aren't you concerned that why your wife is not here? Anatoly: I don't discuss my private life in public. Frederick: But don't you care that she is not by your side? Anatoly: I think I've had enough of this discussion! Frederick: Well, we've a little surprise. We've got your wife on the video. Walter: [Spoken] Run the video! Frederick: Let her talk to you, give you her version-- How married life has changed, since your desertion. Hey come back, my friend, we are only showing Home movies--nothing more, where are you going? Walter: [Spoken] Great interview! Molokov: [Spoken] Bravo, Mr, de Courcy--Walter! Walter: [Spoken] Ah, Alexander! Molokov: [Spoken] I am glad that old film did the trick. We are going to be able to help each other. Walter: [Spoken] Heartwarming international cooperation. Molokov: [Spoken] I have good news about Anatoly's lady friend. Florence Vassy's father is alive. Walter: [Spoken] Really? Well, this is good news. Have you told her yet? Molokov: [Spoken] No, I was going to leave that pleasure to you. However, my friend, there is one thing- Walter: [Spoken] Yes, of course there is. Molokov: [Spoken] I think Mr. Sergievsky must lose the match and come home. Do you not agree? Walter: [Spoken] Sure, but there are others beside Vassy we wish to see come home. Molokov: [Spoken] That should not be a problem. Do we have a deal? Walter: [Spoken] We have a deal, and everybody wins. Molokov: [Spoken] Except Anatoly. Walter: [Spoken] But he gets the lovely Svetlana
