Rhianna Needs: 本集讲述了Kim Philby如何伪装成右翼保守派，成功渗透英国情报机构MI6，长期为苏联提供情报。他利用其社会地位和人脉，以及对苏联意识形态的认同，一步步接近权力中心，最终成为苏联最成功的双重间谍之一。他的行动对英国情报机构和冷战格局都产生了深远的影响。 Kim Philby (Dominic Mafham): 我从小就对英国帝国主义的虚伪和残酷感到厌恶，这促使我投身共产主义事业。在剑桥大学期间，我逐渐转变为反帝国主义者，并最终成为一名共产主义者。为了更好地服务于苏联，我伪装成右翼保守派，打入英国情报机构内部，长期为苏联提供重要情报。我的行动是基于对历史的理解和对苏联事业的坚定信念。

In Part 1, Rhiannon Neads details Philby's rise to the top - and the fateful decisions that will lead to his undoing.
