The Death of Me Yet is a 1971 television film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and starring Doug McClure and Darren McGavin.
On returning home, he finds a letter that his unit has been activated, so he says a farewell to his girlfriend, Alice.
He spends the following years in the United States, rising to the position of newspaper publisher in Redwood Beach, California under the name Paul Towers.
Preparing to visit his brother-in-law, Paul goes diving for abalone but is nearly killed when his SCUBA tank starts feeding him carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.
Edward's brother-in-law, Hank Keller, is the head of a defense contractor where an executive's recent suicide has drawn the attention of the FBI.
FBI agent Joe Chalk questions him harshly at the dinner and promises to thoroughly investigate his background for his security clearance, which concerns Paul.
Chalk is skeptical of his story but Paul bargains, offering to identify Barnes, whom he believes was Vandamm's KGB contact.
One day at lunch, Nylec sets fire to a car to distract Chalk so Paul can copy the plans.
Paul, again a man who does not legally exist, reluctantly agrees to help the FBI track down the other sleeper agents, who have all adopted new covers.
