You speak German?

No, but I do have a phrase book.

With a name like Klinger?

My grandfather was German.

And you are English.

But you have no visa.

But I was told in London that...

Why did you not apply for your visa
through the official channels?

Because you have no representation in
London. That is the fault of the British

government. Yes, I know, but I was told
that if I applied here, there'd be no

difficulty.

Why have you come to East Germany?

I've always wanted to visit here.

Then you're here as a tourist? Yes.

Good. Get in Ordnung.

This permits you to stay in East Berlin
for one week. You must not leave East

Berlin, and you will report your address
to the police.

And I must warn you that to take
photographs of any industrial or

installations is a criminal offence
punishable by immediate arrest and

imprisonment.

you're not aware of the seriousness of
the offence.

Your passport says you're a secretary.

That's right. I'm employed by the
British Foreign Office.

Whatever.

We had your passport photographed, Miss
Kling, and your records checked.

You're an operative of Section K of
British Intelligence.

and recently engaged on counter
-espionage in Bonn.

It took you rather a long time to find
out.

You mean you admit you're a British
agent?

For seven years.

And did you come here like an amateur
and take photographs and place

inevitably in my hands?

Which is where I want to be.

Why? That should be obvious.

Very clumsy work, Miss Klinger. On the
contrary, Colonel.

Everything has worked perfectly.

I've come to offer my services to the
German Democratic Republic I want to

for you

Mr. Lincoln, I don't know one end of a
camera from the other. Neither do I.

So it doesn't stop me from selling them.

Yeah, but you want me to go to Dresden
and buy cameras from the people that

them. Now, once they give me their spiel
about focal lengths and... I didn't say

buy. You know how it is. We want to look
at specifications and prices.

Send your report back to London and...
Then you tell me what I really want to

know. Which is what?

A friend told me that you were once
connected with American intelligence.

I was born in East Germany, Mr. McGill,
in Dresden.

I have a brother there, Johann, a very
talented musician.

Years ago, he was the youngest first
violinist in the Dresden Symphony

Orchestra. I want you to find him.

Well, why don't you find him yourself?

I cannot return to Germany.

Why not?

In 1953, I escaped from East Germany and
Johann stayed behind.

Now, neither of us can climb the wall.

Well, then you write to each other?

He hasn't written. Not in five years.

Maybe he's dead.

I thought so. But last week I got a very
delicately phrased message from a

distant relative.

The violinist is back in Dresden.

And he hasn't tried to write you or
contact you in any way?

No. Well, where was he those five years?

In prison, I think. What for?

Johan was interested in politics.

Which party?

No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't
matter. I'm not interested in politics.

Then you can understand that I don't
care whether my brother is right or left

in between. He's all that remains of my
family.

Listen, East Germany just isn't the
safest place on earth for me. Mr.

was told that you do dangerous work for
money.

I offer you dangerous work, and I offer
you money in proportion.

What proportion?

Name your price.

Okay.

I get a legitimate visa.

I travel under my own name using my own
passport.

I'll obey every law in the book.

And if I smell the slightest aroma of
trouble, baby, I'm heading home.

And if I locate your brother, it's going
to cost you $20 ,000 plus expenses.

And if I don't locate your brother...

It'll cost you $20 ,000 plus expenses.

Those are difficult terms. Do me a
favor. Turn me down.

No, I agree.

You want me pretty badly, don't you? I
want my brother.

Talk to you later.

It's on. Inform Traveler.

Attention, attention.

Fräulein Klinger has immediately
reported to the commandantur.

Attention, attention.

Miss Klinger is to report at once to the
Commandant.

We're studying about two months now.

Yes, Commandant.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to
learn about the theory and history of

the class struggle and... And so forth.

The reports on your progress are
satisfactory.

Thank you.

As far as they go.

No doubt you wish to begin active work.

That is why I came.

In Section K, you worked with American
intelligence.

Yes.

Then you have the opportunity to prove
your good faith.

These are your orders.

Study them carefully.

McGill. arrangements have been made for
you to proceed to Dresden. If you have

any queries, make them there.

That is all.

I think this little camera here would be
very nice.

It's a very nice model for the price.

Of course, the J4 with pistol grip and
built -in exposure meter is more

Would you like us to quote prices and
delivery dates for both models?

to the modifications we discussed.

Surely, sir. Of course.

How long are you staying in Dresden, Mr.
McGill? Oh, a couple of days.

I shall be in touch.

Thanks a lot for lunch.

It's my pleasure.

Is there anything else I can do for you
while you are in Dresden?

No, I don't think so.

Oh,

well, I understand it's quite a musical
center.

Oh, it's the first in Germany.

You're interested in music?

Yeah, very much. Well, you know the
Dresdner Conservatorium and the

Symphonieorchester?

Yes, that's what I call born.

He's a very nice conductor. I have the
Brandenburg Concertos by him. But he is

conducting now at the Konzertsaal.

I shall arrange for tickets.

Perhaps you would like to meet, Herr
Brown.

What can I say?

Don't worry. All shall be arranged.

Okay, great. Thank you very much. Auf
Wiedersehen.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Mac?

Ruth!

Well, I'll be.

It's been a long time.

Yes, it has.

I did send you Christmas cards.

I know, and I thank you very much.

Well, my goodness.

I think we ought to celebrate. Why don't
we get a little champagne?

Live it up.

This early in the afternoon? I don't
think so.

There's no time like now.

Well, right now, I think I'd like some
fresh air.

Okay.

Let's get a little of that.

Just as a matter of interest, ma 'am.

What are you doing in Dresden?

I'm buying some cameras for this guy.

You know that fellow you saw me with,
Oberfeld?

Yeah, he makes them. So I'm ordering
some for him.

Oh, you are?

How about that?

Well, I can't be too choosy nowadays.

What about you? What are you doing here?

Me?

It's not immediately obvious to me why
someone from...

British Foreign Service would be
studying wildlife here in East Germany.

Well, I'm interested in music.

Actually, it's a ruling passion.

Have you heard of the Dresden
Conservatory?

Mm -hmm.

Well, I've enrolled there as a student
of the oboe.

The oboe.

It's pretty, but it's so neat it's not
natural.

Well, somebody's probably around the
corner dusting off the flowers.

In uniform.

Yeah.

And it probably has the distinction of
being about the only place in town

not bugged, right?

Right.

Well, look, I can't say anything to you
here that I couldn't have said out loud

in the lobby of my hotel.

And I just want you to know that in case
you're on a job right now.

And I thought you liked me.

All I'm saying is that if you're working
now, you're just wasting your time.

Really?

Scouts honor.

You remembered?

Mm -hmm.

Well, we killed more than one or two of
these in our time.

Happier times.

Mac, I never did understand what
happened to you.

Don't try.

Just don't try.

And what about you?

Weren't you married?

I thought you'd be married by now to one
of those foreign office types.

No, Mac.

Not my style.

If you ought to know.

Well, here we are on a beautiful
afternoon in Dresden.

What shall we do?

What shall we do?

There's a logical answer to that.

Yeah, but it's only about 4 .45 in the
afternoon, I think.

4 .45? Mac, I'm sorry. There's a phone
call I have to make.

Of course.

It'll take all of three minutes.

Excuse me.

This is Klinger.

Where are you?

I'm at the Prince Eugen bar.

What? I've contacted our friend. I'm
with him here now. He's waiting for me.

I'll have something for you later.

When?

I'll report back as soon as I can.

This is Traveler.

Booth Klinger has made contact with
McGill. He's cautious, but he's making

inquiries about Liebkind and should
locate him within a few days.

I'll let you know when McGill and
Liebkind are arrested by these German

authorities.

Let me have a cover story to use in the
sad event that McGill is killed.

And by the way, I'm short of cash.

End of message.

I've just received a collector's item.

Yes, it's quite satisfactory.

I went to the Dresdner Hotel and
contacted McGill as instructed.

So I am informed.

What do you know about McGill?

We worked together in Greece where we
exchanged information of mutual

After that he was transferred and we
lost touch.

Then I heard that he... That he was
fired from American intelligence, yes.

Yes.

But was he?

It is not at all impossible that the
whole thing was a, what do you call it,

put -up job.

Why?

To provide him with a new cover.

Well, he's paid for it, that I can tell
you.

We have reason to be suspicious of all
defectors.

We require definite information about
McGill's status as of now.

Well, his story is that he's in
Dresden... To buy movie equipment from

Oberfelder, no? And suppose it happens
to be true?

Do you believe it?

It's early days.

McGill didn't spend ten years of
American intelligence for nothing.

And you are not speaking to an amateur.

Then it stands to reason, doesn't it,
that this operation is going to take

and... Miguel is booked into the Dresden
Hotel for three days.

When are you seeing him again?

Tonight.

It struck me as a little out of
character.

Oh? He's got tickets for the Dresden
Symphony Orchestra.

Ah.

A music lover?

Listen, I think we'd better get out of
here while we can.

I want to thank Oberfeld for getting
those tickets for me, though I just saw

around the corner.

Why don't you meet me over at the Prince
Oregon Bar?

It's, uh, you know, you don't want to
get caught in the stampede.

It's all right. I don't mind at all.

Just give me about ten minutes.

Okay. I'll see you there. Listen, don't
wait around. Just go right on in and

order a cabal.

I'll do that.

Sorry to interrupt.

I'm a friend of Ernville Oberbeck.

You are Mr. McGill, of course. That's
right. Then it is a very great pleasure

welcome American music lover here to
Dresden. Thank you very much.

I think

we have another friend in common.

Jawohl. Yeah, he was a first violinist
in your orchestra.

Ah, very interesting. A first violin,
ja.

Johann Liebkamp.

I'm afraid Herr Liebkamp left the
orchestra many hours ago.

Well, do you have any idea where I might
contact him? No, I'm sorry, I'm afraid

I can't help you. I do not know if Herr
Liebkamp is still alive. No, excuse me,

please. Come on.

My name is Adam.

Adam?

Ja, bitte.

Guten Abend.

Sprechen Sie Englisch?

Kennen Sie Johann Liebkind?

Johann Liebkind? Ja.

Den kenne ich nicht.

Now, wait a minute.

You've been around here quite a while,
haven't you?

Sie sind schon lange hier, nicht wahr?

Habe keine Ahnung, wovon Sie sprechen.
Liebkind kenne ich nicht. Weiß gar

was Sie von mir wollen. Herr Liebkind,
Ist ein Freund von einem Freund.

Ich hab's Ihnen schon mal gesagt, Herr
Liebkind, kenn ich nicht.

Wie oft soll ich es Ihnen wiederholen?
Hier gibt's keinen Herrn Liebkind.

Well, maybe you'll understand this.

I just want his address.

Damensstrasse 14.

You sure could save us a lot of trouble,
buddy.

You know the Damenstasse?

Ja.

I want you to let me out a couple of
blocks before you get there.

Suchen Sie jemanden?

Wollen Sie ein Zimmer?

A good room.

No, thank you.

I'm looking for Herr Johann Liebkin.

Nummer zwölf.

Uh, Johann Liebkin?

Um, you don't know me.

You are an American.

Yeah. Uh, your brother asked me to look
you up.

Do you mind if I come in?

You say my brother sent you?

Yeah, he said if I was ever interested
in giving you...

Oh, my God!

Okay, Mac.

What didn't you like about the bar at
the Prince Eugen?

The warm beer.

Oh, you want some more ice?

No, come here. Sit down a second. I want
to tell you something.

Okay.

I'm listening.

I want to thank you for sending me those
Christmas cards.

You're my friend, Mac.

I couldn't forget you no matter what you
did.

Well, everybody else seemed to.

I'm sorry.

I've never seen you sentimental before.

Maybe never really looked before.

It happens.

One day life's one thing.

Next day it's shot out for Monday.

And out of all of that, months later, I
got that Christmas card with peace on

earth, goodwill toward men on it.

And it saved my life.

And I want to thank you for that.

I'm glad.

What's the matter?

Mac, I think you'd better go.

It's my East German landlady. She
doesn't approve of gentlemen visitors.

Maybe she doesn't think you're getting
enough practice.

Practice? Mm -hmm.

On that oboe. Have you already
forgotten?

Oh, no.

I haven't forgotten.

I'll see you tomorrow, Mac.

What happened, Marlowe?

I said good night, Mac.

Sit down.

This is Mr. McGill.

Is he a spy or is he not?

I told you it would need time.

Time is running out.

It would be easy for me to incriminate
him.

If you're going to allow your personal
feelings to come into this, you have no

use to us at all.

And if I wanted to impress you, all I
have to do is say, yes, he is a spy and

wrap him up?

We want the truth.

I went to the concert last night with
McGill.

There's someone connected with the
orchestra he wants to contact. That I'm

of.

Who?

Colonel, I've only been here a few days.

Surely you're in a much stronger
position to follow that up.

But I would much rather you did.

Come, now.

You're an attractive woman. You're
certainly attractive to McGill. You must

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought you
champagne.

Certainly not Braque Privat Cuvée.

Colonel, you've impressed me.

I hope he gets the most out of his stay
over here.

Tell me, has he ever been to a typical
German beer cellar?

Thank you.

Ah, so this is the place you spend all
those long evenings with your friends

from the conservatorium.

Mm -hmm. We come here quite often.

Thanks.

Fastest way out of East Germany.

I want to hear something truly
remarkable.

There's this guy I was asked to locate
in Dresden, and every time I mentioned

his name, everybody just shied away from
me. I found him once, but he ran out on

me.

Then you brought me here to this little
beer cellar, and lo and behold, there he

is.

Right in front of me.

Now, what do you think of that?

What's going on, Ruth?

Which side you working for?

You know I can't tell you that. You
don't have to.

Some idiotic intelligence maneuver.

So senseless.

You really think I'm that dumb?

Mac, I never... You never what?

Here you are in Dresden, waltzing around
in broad daylight. You don't even know

the language.

Now, how in the world did the East
Germans swallow that?

You pop up at my hotel. You leave me
here.

You're setting me up. Mac, I didn't want
it to be you.

Well, if it wasn't me, it'd be some
other guy just as expendable, wouldn't

You're so senseless.

Somebody wants me to find Liebchen very
badly.

Who, the British or these Germans?

Or both?

And when I find him this time, they're
going to catch me red -handed, aren't

they? What are they going to do to me
then?

I don't know.

All that baloney about missing brother.

Just to get me here, to trap me.

Or is it to trap Liebke?

Why was he in prison for five years?
Matt, listen to me.

It's the truth.

He's a particularly filthy variety of
Nazi. Oh, that's no answer.

What about you? What are you?

I can't tell you.

Doesn't matter.

Just doesn't matter.

Okay, Ruth.

Now you give old Mac some advice.

What do I do now?

Mac, I told you.

I didn't know it would be you, and I
didn't know it would come to this. Well,

now that you know...

Are you a traitor, Mac?

You better ask me another question.

I can frame you.

Yes, I can.

If it's true, you're what they say you
are.

And if it isn't?

What if I'm not a traitor? What if I
never was?

What if I was framed before, like now,
for the greater good?

What then, Ruth?

Get out, Mac.

Just get out.

Your employers wouldn't like that too
much, would they?

Well, you just go while you can.

You bet your life, honey. That's just
what I'm going to do.

need a reservation to Berlin.

Yes, sir. For when?

Next train.

Miguel.

Excuse me.

I'm American, Miguel. Let's talk.

I never would have guessed that. The
concert hall.

Here a few times. You're very cool.

I'm with Section K, where you used to
be.

Good for you.

Ruth Klinger is still working for the
British intelligence.

Her assignment was to defect, gain the
confidence of East Germans... And keep

reporting back to London like in the
movies. The British knew the Germans

test her.

So all they supplied the test. Yeah, me
and Liebkin. He's a Nazi, and the

English think you're a traitor.

They were prepared to throw both of you
to the wolves to establish Ruth here.

Stupid!

How do they know the Germans are going
to use me to test Ruth?

They had ways and means of drawing
attention to you.

As you see, it worked.

What did Liebkind do?

He was and is a Nazi. A big spoke in a
dirty little Nazi wheel that's starting

to roll again.

So it's okay to frame him? For the
greater good.

Oh, that's what you always say.

If you get together again with Liebkind,
even for a moment, You've established

that there's cooperation between
American intelligence and Lee Kim.

When Ruth feeds that to the East
Germans, they'll believe her and they'll

her. It fits their theology.

She'll be safe and the British will be
established in East German intelligence.

Uncle Sam will like that, Mac.

Uncle Sam?

Listen, I'm going home.

Well, then the Germans will say to Ruth,
what happened in the beer hall? What

did you tell your friend, your lover?
Why did McGill leave so quickly?

And then she'll go under interrogation,
and in a week or a month, a year, she'll

crack.

And then it's prison that nobody ever
heard of her.

Listen, I didn't invent this idiocy.

I'm giving you the facts.

What you do is up to you. That's right,
Buster.

If you go through with it, there's $5
,000 waiting at the other end.

$5 ,000.

That's pathetic.

$10 ,000.

No.

Nothing's on, buddy.

We can arrange for a getaway car to be
waiting near Liebkin's place.

You're crazy. You're asking me to wade
straight in there and implicate myself

with Liebkin. Oh, what a quip, Cobb.

And then what? What else? What other
help? Then it's up to me, right?

Dresden isn't far from the West German
frontier.

East Germany's not far from West Germany
either.

I should have thought that even on a
personal level... Don't you get

I hear you better when you're talking
money.

Then you will consider it? If I don't,
they'll get it, right?

Good and always.

$25 ,000, payable on demand in West
Germany.

I should have made it 50.

Where is Liebkin, do you know? Ruth
does.

She'll contact you.

Mac, you don't have to go through with
this.

I know you wouldn't want to see him
stick you in a goulash with me. Mac, I'm

trying to say I'm sorry. You don't have
to.

Is that all?

Mm -hmm.

Just about.

Good luck.

You too.

You have those keys.

Oh, yeah.

Here.

This one?

Mm -hmm.

I told you where they'd left it.

Look.

What are we doing here?

Playing soldier. We're just spinning our
wheels.

Why don't we just let Liebchen and
intelligence go out and all?

We got the keys. There's a car over
there. Why don't we just get in it and

off right now?

I can't, Mac.

Just heard the patter of little feet.

Now, don't look back.

Just keep going straight ahead.

Don't ever look back.

Okay, Lincoln, let's go. I'm getting you
out of here. Why are you hounding me?

I don't want to come. I don't know you.
I don't know who you are.

If that's what's holding us up, McGill's
my name.

Now, let's move.

I never heard of you before.

I've done nothing.

frame by being with me. Let me go.

They think I'm an agent.

Five years in prison.

I've been denazified.

Officially. They're going to put you
away for good after this.

What will your people do?

I don't know, but let's find out. I'll
try to get you out of here.

Very touching.

You do it from the bottom of your heart,
eh?

No thanks.

I have work to do here.

I can hide.

I hid before.

Yes or no?

No.

Seamless!

A Muscovite.

Do you have the number?

1A3675.

A green Muscovite. Yes.

Attention, attention.

Alarm blue, alarm blue to all police
lines.

A green Muscovite.

Number 1A3675 in the direction of the
border.

McGill took me to Liebkind's place.

Liebkind was suspicious.

He didn't seem to know McGill.

McGill drew a gun and forced him to go
with him, and that's all I know until I

heard the shots.

Yeah.

That's all you know? Yes.

And what does it indicate to you?

It's not my job to draw conclusions,
Colonel.

That is true.

We wanted the facts.

Oh, that's what it is!

You had it bugged. Of course.

Why are you hounding me?

Shh, come on. I don't want to come.

I don't know who you are. I don't want
to know who you are.

Yes, my name. Now move.

Come on.

Just as I told you.

But what does it prove?

That I told you the truth.

Yes, but the truth reveals little.

Why did McGill fire his gun?

Liebkind was panicking.

Or was it perhaps to keep Liebkind from
speaking in a room that McGill suspected

of having hidden? Yes.

And again, why did Liebkind run away and
straight into a bullet from one of our

enormously stupid men?

Well, perhaps they'd conducted their
business and then separated to try and

escape. Perhaps there was no business to
conduct.

I think, sir, I've done everything I
could possibly do.

Yes, Miss Klinger, that I must admit.

Unfortunately, it was inconclusive.

Is Miguel still with American
intelligence?

Was his organisation?

Involved with Lipkin's.

Are you reliable?

You see, we don't know.

So with my blessings, you will return to
school until that time as we can find

you another assignment.

You mean another test?

But of course, another test.

Unless, of course, we can obtain more
direct information from McGill.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much. We appreciate it.

Thank you.

You were lucky.

What about Ruth?

You'll never know, Miguel.

We'll clean you up and book you on a
flight to London.

Tonight too soon?

Now, about that money. Now, don't you
forget about that money.

Don't you want to flip?

No, you've done enough for me. Thanks.
