- Yeah, sure.
- Then what?

We can get tickets
for something to see?

- We can see the symphony.
- Huh?

It'll finish really late.

We can catch the last train out.

Excuse me. Could
you give me a light?

Yeah, sure.

You're Americans, yes?

Yes, sir. We're
on a summer trip.

Please, take this
to your embassy.

It is vital. I have
no other way.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Do not go back to your
hotel, straight to the embassy.

Give this only to Deputy
Chief of Mission. Understand?

- Thank you.
- Mm.

- Emily. Lovely as ever.
- Ah!

- You do brighten up the old place.
- Oh, thank you.

- Emily?
- Sir.

- Please sit down.
- Ah.

I've brought you boys a present.

Ah, thank you.

Rachel, step out.

"I fear a nuclear war is coming

and I want to help
you prevent it."

It's got my attention.

He's smart.

Gave us a photo only
we'd have copies of

from a few years ago at
our embassy in Turkey.

Say hello to Colonel Oleg
Vladimirovich Penkovsky.

Code name "Ironbark."

Artillery officer during the
war, decorated 13 times.

Now, he's back in Moscow running the
State Committee for Scientific Research.

But that's just a cover.

He's GRU.

Why the dossier?

Hand like this, I keep
close to my chest.

Because they have
no way to make contact.

The CIA is weak in Moscow
after that... disaster with Popov.

Am I right?

We're thin on the ground.
We need your help.

Let's hear him out.

We've got a number of
good officers in our embassy.

I'll have one make contact with
Penkovsky, get this sorted out.

I did have a thought.

This is a GRU
Colonel. He's so visible.

I'm worried we could blow
Penkovsky just by making an approach.

That's always a risk. What
would the CIA have us do instead?

I don't know.

Maybe use someone outside the
embassy who the KGB won't suspect?

Say a businessman who
travels to that part of the world.

Do we know of someone
who could fit the bill?

I have to warn you, I have a
pretty good feeling about this.

Oh, hell.

And Greville, that is the
saddest thing I've ever seen.

Well, serves me right,

I should keep my mouth shut.

Now we have to make it up.

- We probably have some brochures.
- Of what?

A drink first, I think.

You know my reputation.

Parts I want you to know anyway.

I represent the top manufacturers
who sell the best products on the market.

So, in combination with you
gentlemen knowing your business,

I think it'd be much better if
instead of my usual song and dance,

I just listen. You tell me
what your problems are,

and if I think I have a client
that may have a solution,

let's talk it through. If
not, let's keep drinking.

So, tell me, what do you need?

- Thanks, Greville.
- Bye.

It still doesn't add up.

Well, did you miss
something maybe?

- Like carrying the four?
- Oh, yes.

- Oh, yes.
- How are you?

Oh, very well. Except
our son keeps confusing

me helping with his homework
with me doing it for him.

- Oh.
- How was your day?

Oh, the usual. Some empty
flatteries and blatant sucking up.

No, really, you should have
seen me. I sold a dozen lace

by throwing the easiest
putt in the history of putting.

- I feel filthy.
- No, no. You have to play golf badly.

- But aren't you used to that?
- Ha-ha.

Well, just think another 23 years of
this and then we're off to the good life.

Or I could retire early.

Andrew, you don't want
to go to university, do you?

Not really.

- Perfect.
- Well, I'm not feeding either of you.

Don't know what
you're smiling at,

it'll be at least 50 years
until you can retire.

- Greville Wynne, please?
- Yeah. Let me see if he's home.

- Sounds like work.
- No. Tell them I'm in my chair.

Yes. He's just walked in.

Greville Wynne.

Greville, this is James
Dobbing from the Board of Trade.

We met last year-

Yes, yes. At the
reception of Whitehall.

James! How good
to hear from you.

- James, hello.
- Greville.

I hope you don't mind.

My friend Helen is a
consultant in from the States.

I thought, "Why not?"

Greville Wynne. A real pleasure.

Helen Talbot, likewise.

James tells me you've been
working in Eastern Europe.

Hmm. More and more.
Tremendous opportunities.

Plenty of demand,
no local supply.

Czechoslovakia, Hungary.

Ghastly food.

- What about the Soviet Union?
- Well, not just yet. Someday.

I'd like to see temperatures
cool off a bit first.

Actually, now might
be the perfect time.

Oh, really? Why?
What did you hear?

Well, Helen and
I have associates

who would be interested
to see what might come of it.

It would be a real
service to Great Britain.

And the world.

Forgive me. I'm just a bit...

Sorry. James, I know you said
you had an office in Board of Trade.

But...

Is it possible that
you actually work...

at a different branch of
Her Majesty's government?

Oh, my.

This is unexpected.

Sorry, I... I don't understand.

Why, I'm-I'm... I'm
just a salesman.

Exactly. An ordinary salesman
with no connection to the government.

Look, this is all fascinating,

and I-I really can't believe I'm
actually having lunch with spies.

But...

I couldn't possibly...

- What would you want me to do?
- Nothing dodgy, nothing illegal,

- just what you would naturally do.
- I'm sorry. I don't follow.

Someone in your field hoping to
do business in the Soviet Union,

how would you get started?

Well, I suppose
I'd set up a meeting

with the State Committee for
Scientific Research in Moscow.

That sounds fine.

So, you want me to go
to Moscow and then...

Do business.

All this secrecy must seem
absurd, but I promise, it's to help you.

We want you to act exactly like
the ordinary businessman you are.

That'll be much easier if
you don't know any details.

Right. But would I be
putting myself in danger?

That detail, I...
I'd have to know.

Greville, let me
put this delicately.

You're a middle-aged businessman

who drinks a bit too much
and isn't exactly in top shape.

During the war, you were a
private, never even saw combat.

My point is, if this mission
was the least bit dangerous,

you really are the
last man we'd send.

Well, thank you for
putting it so delicately.

Make sure you wear it
while you're in Moscow.

What does this do?
Shoot poison darts?

Thank you so much,
Greville. You're a good man.

And I know we can count
on you to be discreet.

How was your day?

Oh, it was fine.

Mine was wonderful. Thank
you so much for asking.

So sorry, I've got a
head full of contracts.

Uh, you out with, uh,
Tamara, weren't you?

Yes, we were at the club,
planning the charity dinner.

- That was amusing.
- Huh!

Before you ask if you have to
come, yes, you have to come.

- I've had an interesting lead.
- Really?

Might look at doing a little
bit of work in the Soviet Union.

Hmm. Do stay out
of The Gulag, darling.

Passport.

How do you do?
Greville Wynne, pleasure.

How do you do?
Greville Wynne, pleasure.

How do you do? How do you do?

And this is the head of our
committee, Oleg Penkovsky.

Ah, pleasure to meet you.

Thank you for coming.

I'm not here to tell you what
is best for Soviet industry.

You gentlemen know that
far better than I ever will.

I'm here simply
to open a door...

to the top manufacturers
in the West.

Your proposal is interesting.

- Would you like to have lunch?
- Of course.

After you.

It is good you have dealt with
other communist governments,

but so far from home.

Do you not prefer
to work in England?

I do what I can to
keep things interesting.

But then, there's
the political situation.

This is not a good
time for East and West.

Well, what I like to say is, no
matter what the politicians are doing,

factories still need machines,
machines still need parts.

I'm a businessman,
so I stick to business.

Hmm!

- Do you have a family?
- I do, a boy, he's ten.

I wanted a boy very much.

Then we had a girl.
Now she's my world.

Mm. Likely not destroying
your home like our son.

Now... most important question.

If you want to do business
in Moscow, I need to know.

- Yes?
- Can you hold your alcohol?

It's my one true gift.

I want to show you
another side of Russia.

- Are you free this evening?
- Certainly.

Where are we off to?

Do you know Cinderella?

Embarrassed to say, I've
never been to the ballet.

Then your trip is
already worth it.

If you will, mister.

Your tie clip, I like it.
Where did you get it?

It was a gift from a friend.

- Is your friend American?
- Yes.

We can talk here. It is safe.

I sent word to your
friend. You're, um...

- I think the word is "amateur."
- Yes, exactly. Amateur.

I've dreamt of this moment
for a very long time. Thank you.

I wish I could tell you
how much this means.

I think I'd rather that
you didn't tell me.

What happens now?

- I don't need to do anything, do I?
- No, you go home.

Then you invite me to visit
London with a trade delegation

to meet your clients.

- Your government would allow you?
- They would be thrilled.

Part of my job is to steal
technology from the West.

Your friend is clever.

Well, Oleg. May I call you Oleg?

In English, my name doesn't
sound good. Call me Alex.

Alex.

You're a good amateur.

Since you took
me to the Bolshoi,

I suppose I should take
all of you to the West End.

Some of the finest
theater in the world.

That would be good.

And this is my wife, Sheila.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Nostrovia!
- Nostrovia!

Cheers!

Up yours, as well.
That's another one.

- Up yours!
- Up yours!

- Up yours!
- Up yours!

- Off you go.
- Hello.

Hello, goodbye.

We know you're a patriot.

We know how hard
this must be for you.

Colonel, whatever
brought you here...

it must frighten you more
than the danger of being here.

Khrushchev.

Khrushchev frightens me.

He is impulsive, chaotic,

a man like him should
have no clear command.

The West has fallen for his lie.

The lie that Soviet regime
is growing soft, it is not.

Khrushchev wants
confrontation with America.

He's looking for one.

Do you have anything you could
share with us? Documents, perhaps?

Would you like to read the
new edition of Military Thought?

I need assurances from you.

If it becomes necessary...

I must be able to
defect with my family.

Absolutely. Whenever you want.

I will remain in place

and keep you updated
on the Kremlin's thinking.

But tell your government...

they must use my
information wisely.

Not as a weapon...

but as a tool to bring peace.

Despite what Khrushchev claims,

America's nuclear arsenal
is still far superior to ours.

We do not yet have
first strike capacity.

You can annihilate us, but
we cannot annihilate you.

But that won't
worry the Politburo.

Do you think in the end that'll
keep Khrushchev from going too far?

You have to be
up in a few hours.

- I'm fine.
- No, he's right.

We can finish this
up tomorrow night.

And one last thing.

We need to talk about Greville.

Don't worry. You won't have
to deal with him anymore.

- No.
- It was Penkovsky's idea.

You're perfect, you're a civilian,
so the KGB won't be watching you.

You'll be in and out of Moscow
anyway to setup contracts.

You still won't know any
specifics, you'll just be a courier.

Just a courier for Russian se...

My God, I can't believe
you're bloody serious.

We've gone over
it with Penkovsky.

We believe the risk to you
is minimal. And we'll pay you.

I make my own money,
thank you very much.

I have a wife and a child.

Either of you have a family?

Oh, no.

Don't suppose you
could tell me about that.

Not a lot you can tell me
about, is there? Helen, James.

I can tell you we'd both put ourselves
in harm's way when necessary,

and this is terribly
necessary, Greville.

Then might I suggest you
find someone who's suited for it.

Sorry. I really have
done all I can for you.

Greville, listen.

The four-minute warning,
it won't do you any good.

- What?
- The four-minute warning

before a Soviet nuclear
missile hits the UK.

No, I know what that...
What are you talking about?

That-that's what this has all been
about? Nuclear war? Come on.

See, here's the problem for you.

Your house is a 12-minute
drive from your office,

ten minutes if you
really push, right?

And you're usually out
on a sales call anyway,

so you're not getting
back to Sheila in time.

And Andrew's school, that's nine minutes
from your house, 15 from your office,

and no one's getting to him either.
He'll get herded into the school basement.

I looked up the building plans.

That's a sorry excuse
for a fallout shelter.

Same with your
basement, actually.

Only the government
has decent shelters.

What do you do?

Hmm?

You can spend those four minutes
trying to get Sheila on the phone,

but you won't be
able to get through.

Or you can think about how you might
have helped stop this from happening...

but you didn't.

And then that's it.

How dare you.

Truly, we'll be better
off if he doesn't do it.

He'll do it.

No, I got it.

All right.

- Hello.
- Welcome. Do come in.

- Oh! Hello.
- Hello.

Oh, vodka, lovely.

I was just saying to Greville we
didn't drink nearly enough last night.

- Thank you. Uh, do come in.
- Thank you.

This is for Andrew.

Very kind, thank you. This way.

Dad told me about Moscow.

What's it like in
the rest of Russia?

It is very beautiful.
Especially where I come from.

A lot of trees, a lot of sky.

You feel...

very alone but in a good way.

I'd like to see that.

But then of course
your government

isn't all that keen on foreigners
just wandering around.

Do the Russians really
hate us that much?

I think they'd like our children
to be a little more polite, Andrew.

Our politicians
hate your politicians.

And yours hate ours,
do not forget that.

But the people, your
father and I, we do business.

We spend time
together, I meet his family.

Maybe we're only two people...

but this is how things change.

Hmm.

- What if I get caught?
- You won't.

You don't know that.

They'd execute me, correct?

Not if they thought
you're just a courier,

that you took packages but
didn't know what was in them.

They would hold you
to trade for one of theirs.

For how long?

- A couple of years.
- Oh, just a couple of years

rotting in some Russian Gulag.

They will not catch us.
The KGB will have no idea.

Listen, I'm better
at this than they are.

- Fine. But I'm not.
- Look, your work...

It is only deception.
Controlling your emotion.

I watched you do it in
Moscow, you did it tonight.

It's really not the same thing.

If we're caught, they
would definitely execute me.

Well, I'm very sorry,
but that's your choice.

That is how sure I am
that you can do this.

I'm betting my life on it.

How can I explain
this to Sheila?

She cannot know the truth.
For her own safety, for yours.

- I can't tell her any of it?
- No.

Well, what have
you told your wife?

Because you know what
she'd say. "Don't do it."

I'm right, aren't I?

Sheila's no fool.
And in the past, I've...

given her reason
not to trust me, dully.

Then you have to lie better.

There are good lies.

Sometimes a lie is a gift...

an act of love.

I'm sorry it has to be you.

But, Greville...

it has to be you.

In Moscow, you must at all
times follow the rules of the art.

In English, there's a word.

- Tradecraft.
- Yes.

You must follow tradecraft.

Everyone you meet,
assume they are KGB...

Waiters, hotel staff,
my driver, everyone.

Even if they are not actual KGB
officers, they still make reports to KGB.

Whoo!

Every Russian is
an eye of the state.

Every room you're in,
assume it is bugged.

Even inside our embassy.

Especially inside your embassy.

Still, our embassy
will be a good fail-safe

in the event of
any... complication.

The KGB also uses lip readers.
You won't be able to tell who they are.

So never discuss-..

...anything sensitive
unless I do first.

How's your family?

Very well, thank
you. How's yours?

We will be seeing
each other often-

To throw off suspicion, I will tell my
colleagues I recruited you as a source.

You'll keep Colonel Penkovsky

supplied with material
on steel manufacturing,

industrial production and so on.

Unclassified, but
hard to come by-

They'll believe I would do that?

Of course.

You are a greedy capitalist.

You want to keep
the contracts coming-

And from now on, every
moment you're in Moscow,

you will be selling one thing...

The idea that you are
an ordinary businessman

and nothing more than
an ordinary businessman.

Well, gentlemen, I hope
this is the first of many.

Thank you all very, very much.

To good health and for business.

- I should get you to the airport.
- Yes, yes, please.

Do you have any questions?

Gentlemen, 'till
next time. Thank you.

I want to be
certain of one thing.

I need to know that if
anything happens to me,

my wife and son
will be provided for.

You have my word.

- Thank you, Alex.
- Bye.

Thank you.

- My, where did that come from?
- I missed you.

- Well, just this one time.
- Oh, every time, darling.

They're really
gearing up for war.

This is phenomenal.
Ironbark's the real thing.

Well, this just became the biggest
thing going in the whole Soviet Section.

Now, if I keep you on this...

am I gonna regret it?

No, sir.

Hell, this is almost worth all the
bullshit of dealing with the Brits.

How is it with those assholes?

They're good guys. I just have to
make them think they're in charge.

Oh, this is such an honor.
I'm-I'm learning so much.

Despite growing tensions
between America and the Soviets,

until this morning,
there was essentially

free passage between
East and West Berlin.

But overnight, without warning,

the Communist authorities
have barricaded off the city.

In response, President Kennedy has vowed
to increase America's military presence,

directly speaking with General
Clay who is stationed in Berlin.

Grev, would you think it's
safe to keep going to Moscow?

- Yes, certainly. It's fine.
- Even with all this?

That's in Berlin, darling.
Nowhere near Moscow.

Yes, I know where Berlin
is, and I know the Russians

- and the Americans are killing any...
- Please, do let me run my business.

Today in the Arctic, the Soviet
Union had a successful test

of its Tsar Bomba
or King of Bombs.

With a yield of 50 megatons,

this is by far the most powerful
nuclear weapon ever detonated.

I have the figures
you were asking.

Thank you very
much. Very helpful.

Today, every
inhabitant of this planet...

- Just down there.
- ...every man, woman and child...

Right here, ma'am?

...lives under a nuclear
sword of Damocles...

hanging by the
slenderest of threads.-.

Capable of being cut at
any moment by accident,

or miscalculation,
or by madness.

The weapons of war must be
abolished before they abolish us.

Do you have anything for me?

Tomorrow.

Sure, I'll get it up to him.

- Andrew?
- Yeah?

Where are the raincoats?

Oh, right.

Sorry.

It's fine. The
forecast is with sun.

No, it's not fine. What
if the forecast is wrong?

What if it rains?

Well, we'll want to
stay in the tent anyway.

- We can read books. It'll be lovely.
- It's not the point.

The point is, I told you
to pack the raincoats,

I made myself perfectly
clear. So, why didn't you do it?

Greville, are you certain this is
how you want to start our holiday?

- Answer me!
- I... I... forgot.

You forgot? You
know, that's fantastic.

I've got a son who's too
dumb to remember something

- as simple as packing the...
- Greville, Greville! Greville!

Your father didn't mean that.

Shall we start again, hmm?

Is he all right?

He's asleep. It's a good sign.

Here.

- Will you be all right?
- Oh, fine.

I really needed this
holiday and it's a good idea.

Glad we came here.

It's not just tonight.

You've been so different lately.

Greville, what's going on?

Look, I... I didn't want to
tell you before because I...

I didn't want you
to be involved.

It's the business. Yeah,
we've... hit a bit of a rough patch.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

Men and money?

My God, Colin went almost mad last year
when his job looked the tiniest bit shaky.

I wish it made sense,
but it's not just that.

It's everything.

He's exercising all the
time and he's become so...

- energetic in bed.
- That all sounds so awful.

Poor you.

I'm so sorry. I shouldn't joke.

I know Greville had an
indiscretion once before,

but it doesn't mean
he's having an affair now.

Then why is he so secretive
with me? And defensive?

And it's always worse whenever
he comes home from Moscow.

That's when it all
started. Moscow.

Oh.

It might be better if you
didn't have to travel so much...

better for our family.

Darling, I told you, it's very
important. We need the money.

- The money?
- Money, yes.

We just renewed at the club.

And you haven't caught any expenses
and now we're going to a smart restaurant.

Really not quite certain how
I'm supposed to respond to that.

I mean, why can't we live
the good life? It's why I work.

Greville, I'm asking you
to stop going to Moscow.

- I'm asking you as your wife.
- Oh, I know what you're thinking.

- There is no one else, I swear.
- I forgave you once.

I never said I would again.

Hello, Nina.

Very nice to meet you.

She's never seen
a foreigner before.

My wife apologizes.

We cannot invite you for dinner.

To bring a foreigner into
one's home, it is not done.

It's all right.
Quite understand.

- You have a lovely family.
- Thank you.

Alex... when do you think
you'll be ready to defect?

- It is best if we do not talk about that.
- Is something the matter?

Just a bit of trouble at home.

One day, you will be able to
tell Sheila what you have done,

and she'll be very proud of you.

That might be a bit too late.

Sometimes Vera, she
also struggles with my work.

Yes, but your wife married a
soldier, mine married a salesman.

You know why my government will
not let you travel outside Moscow?

They want to hide the suffering.

In the city, life is all right, but
in the country where I'm from...

I do not want
this life for Nina.

I want her to be
free from the State.

Someday, if our work succeeds,
when I feel the danger is over,

then I will defect.

I will bring my
family to Montana.

- Montana?
- Yeah. I've seen some pictures.

It is beautiful, like
where I grew up.

Perhaps I will become a cowboy.

You, a cowboy?

- Oh, that I would like to see.
- Yes.

You must come and visit,
with your family, please.

- I would like that very much.
- I would like that, too.

All right. I will.

Sir?

Thank you so much.

What do you have?

I'm seeing references to a lot of new
intel coming from the Soviet Section.

Can you access any of it?

No. It's all way
above my clearance.

But I don't think it's
coming from intercepts.

It feels like they
might have a source.

I-I just don't see it for
them to actually do that,

to try and sneak
nukes into our backyard-

- I mean, it would be...
- It'd be like an act of war.

Even Khrushchev
isn't that crazy.

All I can tell you is that Ironbark
wouldn't be in the job he or she is in

if he or she were an idiot.

I hope we take this seriously.

Stay on this, guys.

Work every Cuba
source we've got.

- Have a good flight.
- Thank you, Alex.

Lronbark gave us
camouflage profiles

for different kinds of missile
installations so we could tell 'em apart.

As soon as we get
some U-2 photos,

we'll know if Cuba's
got nukes or not,

and whether Russian missiles can
reach mainland US for the first time.

Can they get a U-2 in the air?

This time of year there's
just too much cloud cover.

'Til October, you're all I got.

Mm-hmm.

When I went back to my
hotel, they'd searched my room.

But they didn't find anything?

Obviously. He wouldn't
be here if they had.

I'm saying he's
still in the clear.

It could just have been a
routine check which he passed.

That's it, Greville,
we're pulling you out.

But what about Penkovsky? I
didn't have a chance to warn him.

We'll have to find another
way to communicate with him,

- but you don't need to worry about that.
- No, you don't understand.

That's why he's
in danger as well.

If the KGB have been looking at
me, they'll be looking at him, too.

He's still set to come here for
the trade fair next month, isn't he?

- Yes.
- Then he's all right.

If he was under suspicion, they'd
never let him leave the country.

But you will still help
him to defect, won't you?

Whatever he likes, he's more
than earned his retirement,

and Greville, so have
you. Outstanding work.

Oh, my God.

So-so, that's it.

Cuba. What about Cuba?

Do try not to worry
about any of this anymore.

Put it all out of your
head, best you can.

Understood.

Well, thank you.

What the hell are you doing?
We're shutting down Wynne, now?

Please recall, Wynne
is a British national.

Any fallout from his capture

would cause a major
embarrassment for the government.

We have to know what
Penkovsky knows about Cuba.

Which at the moment is nothing.

He'll be here next month,
we'll debrief him then. That's all.

I'm, uh...

I'm closing all the
accounts in Moscow.

- So, I won't be going anymore.
- All right.

- Sure you don't want me to help?
- I'm fine. Thank you.

- Papa!
- Nina.

This government, as promised,

has maintained the
closest surveillance

of the Soviet military
build-up on the island of Cuba.

Within the past week,

unmistakable evidence
has established the fact

that a series of
offensive missile sites

is now in preparation
on that imprisoned island.

The purpose of these
bases can be none other

than to provide a
nuclear strike capability

against the Western Hemisphere.

It shall be the
policy of this nation

to regard any nuclear
missile launched from Cuba

against any nation in
the Western Hemisphere

as an attack by the Soviet
Union on the United States,

requiring a full retaliatory
response upon the Soviet Union.

I call upon Chairman Khrushchev to
halt and eliminate this clandestine...

The Soviets are standing firm,
but JFK is refusing to back down.

It's out of our hands now.

Anything could happen.

- Telegram.
- Thank you.

It's time. It's got to be.

- Time for what?
- Time to get him out.

- Greville, we can't get him out.
- Of course you can.

Well, then, what did you mean when you
said you were gonna help him to defect?

Family holiday to East
Germany, crossover in Berlin.

To try and smuggle them right out
of Moscow, I wouldn't dream of it.

But you're MI6 and CIA.

I can't get anywhere
near Penkovsky now,

so there's no way to
coordinate with him or plan it out.

We'd have to kidnap him
and his family off the street.

It'd be a disaster.

And if they won't let
them leave, then what?

It was my idea to
bring you into all this.

I never should have
done that to you. I'm sorry.

Well, then, that's it?

We're just going to abandon him

and let the KGB murder him
whenever they get 'round to it?

This is a hard truth.

But if things were the other way
around, Penkovsky would abandon you.

No. No, he would not.

He's a professional. We use people.
He would do just what I'm doing now.

Move on. Go home.

Go home to your family.

You're wrong.

What?

You're the experts on spying
and tradecraft and all of that,

but not Penkovsky. You've
met him once, I know him.

He would never leave me to
die. And I'm not leaving him.

I'm afraid it's
not your decision.

You said the problem was,
there's no way to coordinate,

to let Penkovsky know about
the escape plan, but there is a way.

Me.

I can tell him...

if I go back to Moscow.

- You would do that?
- Yes.

No, he wouldn't.

Because he hasn't
entirely lost his mind.

James, be a bloody professional.

I'm volunteering to bring back the
best source of Soviet intelligence you got

at a time where Russia and America
are on the brink of nuclear war.

You talk about using people.
For God's sake, use me.

If you go back to
Moscow, I'll go with you.

At no risk to herself.

She'll have diplomatic
immunity. She thinks you're a fool.

I will do everything in my power
to get both of you out of there.

But I am telling
you, don't do it.

Oh, I didn't know you were...

I have just one last account
to close. Then I'm finished.

- Truly.
- Of course. Yes.

And where are
you staying tonight?

A hotel, I think, would be best.

- Alex.
- Greville.

Hi, I'm Karen Tucker.
I'm the new press attaché.

Our assets will take a boat
from Finland to Sosnovy Bor.

Port security there is light.

They'll pick the Penkovskys
up, ferry them back across.

I need you to take the van and divert the
KGB when we leave the embassy, okay?

If we can just get the
Penkovskys out of Moscow clean,

- we should be all right.
- Yeah. Okay.

You're going to do fine.

Permanent representatives
of a large number

of member governments
of the United Nations...

to address an urgent appeal to
you in the present critical situation.

In the interest of international
peace and security...

all concerned should
refrain from any action

which may aggravate the situation
and bring with it the risk of war.

Now, we will explain what to do

if a warning sounds
when you are at home.

You must immediately take cover.

Send your children
to the fallout room

then turn off the electricity
and the gas at the mains.

Do you, Ambassador Zorin,

deny that the USSR
has placed and is placing

medium and intermediate-range
missiles and sites in Cuba?

Yes or no?

And I'm also prepared to
present the evidence in this room,

which you can all
examine at your leisure,

shows three successive
photographic enlargements

of another missile base of the
same type in the area of San Cristobal.

These enlarged
photographs clearly show

six of these missiles on
trailers and three erectors.

And that is only one example.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo.

- Hmm!
- Mm-hmm.

Kennedy has sent the offer-

If the Soviets take out their
nukes, JFK will declare publicly

- that the US will stand down.
- Think they'll go for that?

- I really don't know. - Hm.

Good luck.

- Can I take you to the airport?
- Oh, that would be perfect, thank you.

Excuse me, what did they say?

They say, "We're
sorry for the delay."

Thank you.

Vera!

Mr. Wynne...

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

He said, "Come
with us, Mr. Wynne."

Why, what's going
on? I don't understand.

Mr. Wynne, please.

The Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics

has declared you
persona non grata.

You are hereby ordered to
leave the country within 24 hours.

Strip!

Strip!

One, two, three.

Thank you.

You were right.

You were right, too.

We had to try.

Mrs. Wynne, I'm James
Dobbing with the Board of Trade.

- May we come in?
- Yes, please.

- Oh, my God.
- It's absurd, of course.

The Foreign Office is
hard at work sorting this out.

- But it's a delicate situation.
- Why?

Oleg Penkovsky has been arrested
as well, which is quite serious.

The Russians are claiming Greville
was caught up in some sort of...

well, espionage.

The Foreign Office
will be in touch soon.

And while this is
all being resolved,

The Crown will provide
for you and your son.

- It's true, isn't it?
- What's true?

Greville was working with
Penkovsky like they say?

No, no. Of course not.

Can I call Greville? I
need to speak to him.

- I don't think that's...
- No, I have to... I have to...

I have to tell
him that I'm sorry.

I thought he was...

My God, I've been so stupid.

- Mommy?
- Andrew, go to your room.

- Who are...
- Andrew, go to your room!

I'm a friend of your father's.

He told me you have
quite the trophy collection.

Could you show me?

Andrew, please, it's all right.

Don't tell me it's not true.

I know my husband.

I know he's been acting.

Don't tell me it's not true.

There are things
I can't say to you.

I can tell you that your husband
is an incredibly brave man.

And he needs you now.

He needs your help, Mrs. Wynne.

You see, once the Russians
realize Greville is innocent,

your government will be able
to get him home safe. In time.

But if the Russians do decide...

that Greville actually
is some kind of spy...

I'm so sorry.

So, when you talk to anybody...

that means your family...

your friends, Andrew,
and especially the press...

you have to tell them that none
of this could possibly be true.

And you have to
be very convincing.

Can you do that?

Can you do that for Greville?

I can't imagine what
Penkovsky could've confessed to.

I-I'm sorry, I don't
know what this is.

We know everything. We know that Penkovsky
gave you packages to take to the West.

- Well, yes, a few times.
- Then you admit it.

Admit what? I didn't know
that I was doing anything wrong.

You think stealing Soviet
intelligence wasn't wrong?

If that is what was
happening, I-I didn't know it.

I never asked him what
was in the packages,

I didn't think it
was my business.

Who did you give
these packages to?

Well, I dropped them off in
various addresses around London,

I-I never thought
anything of it.

Mr. Wynne...

You are asking me to believe
that you are very, very stupid.

Oh, well, yes.

I-I suppose in your world I am,
but, look, I'm just a salesman.

I want my clients to like
me, so if that meant doing...

a favor for Penkovsky every now
and then, I really didn't see the harm.

Hi.

Ah! That is so sweet of you.

Oh, but I wish I could
invite you in, I'm just...

I'm in the middle of 20 things.

Oh, no, no. That's fine. I'm
so glad to see you're well.

It's been ages, we've
all been worried.

Yes, well, do say hello for me.

Of course. I-I saw that
ridiculous piece in the Mail.

It's absurd.

You don't think there could
be any truth to it, do you?

- What they're saying about Greville?
- Don't be ridiculous.

How could Greville ever spy on Soviets?
He couldn't even hide his affair from me.

- Right.
- Thank you again for dropping by

- and this was so sweet of you.
- Oh.

We should have tea.

- I'll be in touch. Thank you.
- Yes!

Oh, all right. Bye.

For years the Americans have
had, uh, nuclear missiles in Turkey...

aimed right at us.

Oh, but how dare we
put missiles in Cuba?

Is that fair?

- I don't know.
- Mm.

Do you realize your country
has left you here to die?

No, sir, I don't
believe that's true.

Why?

Why?

Why, for God's sake?!

What have I done?!

I didn't do anything!

You fucking animals!

You will not touch. Sit down.

Sit down!

Oh, my God, darling.

I know I've been ill, but
I'm on the mend now...

and this will help.

This will help...

- very much.
- What are they doing?

What the hell are you
people doing to him?

It's not like that.

They've been quite respectful
given the circumstance.

You mustn't fault them.

Really. You mustn't.

What you're going through...

it's all so unfair.

I'm sorry for what happened.

I feel wretched
for doubting you.

No, no. Couldn't be helped.

I'm really so glad you're here.
I've missed you both... very much.

The foreign office said it's a very
good sign I'm being allowed to visit you.

- Mm. Mm.
- They said it might...

it might still take a while
yet to get you home.

Since the Russians backed down in
Cuba, they're being very stubborn now.

What-what happened in Cuba?

Well, they removed the
missiles. It's-it's all fine...

No more about this.

And we're trying very hard.

It might take another...

it might take
another year... or two.

Tell me something about home.

Tell me what I have
to look forward to.

Well, the garden's
cooperating a bit. Finally.

And we have tomatoes this year.

And Andrew, he...

he passed his Maths
exam somehow.

You'd be proud.

How are you?

I'm...

I'm all right.

Really, I...

If you can be strong
enough for this...

When you come home...

I hope we can start again.

And I was very foolish.

I'm sorry.

But I just want you to know
that every moment I've been here,

I have done nothing but think about
how I'm going to get home to you.

Really.

I will.

I will.

It's a matter of who.

We can't send
someone of real value.

Not for Wynne.

Wynne wasn't valuable?

We're all alive, aren't we?

He's not an
officer is the point.

If we propose an
officer of theirs,

that sends a message about how we
perceive Wynne, the wrong message.

If you let Wynne die
over there, and he will die,

a lot sooner than you think,

no one will ever trust MI6
to protect them ever again.

You feel guilty.

I know.

But you were doing your job, and
Wynne is our countryman, Emily.

I promise.

We'll get him home.

If you think Penkovsky
will protect you...

you think too highly of him.

He betrayed his country...

his family...

Why not you?

It is every man
for himself. Yes?

Hi.

I have not seen a
mirror for a long time.

I like to think I'm
still who I was...

Pretend I am.

I wasn't sure I'd
ever see you again.

I'm so sorry you're
here, Greville.

I hope you can
forgive me for this...

and for what I had to do.

What do you mean,
what you had to do?

I held back...

for as long as I could.

I have to protect
my family, Greville.

To save them, I had
to tell the KGB the truth.

All of the truth.

I told them...

I gave you pictures that...

helped Americans
find missiles in Cuba.

And, of course, I told them...

you didn't know what was
in the packages I gave you.

Greville...

I thought I could make
the world a safer place...

but I failed.

All this...

betraying my country,

my people, it was for nothing.

Alex...

Of course I forgive you.

I have to look
after my family, too.

Easier now I know there's
not gonna be a nuclear war...

because Khrushchev
withdrew his missiles...

...because of you.

Because of you.

You.

You did it, Alex. You did it.

You! You did it!

Because of you, Alex!

You did it!

Maybe we're only two people-..

But this is how things change.

It's okay.

Daddy, where are you?

Mr. Wynne, you've
just spoken to your wife.

What were your first words to her
and what were her first words to you?

Frankly, we were
both rather speechless.

There were no words
for a few moments.

Do you have any idea of what
you're going to do in the future?

Oh, I want to get back to
my normal business activities

as soon as I possibly can.

Well, back to the same company?

With my own company.

Will you travel in
East Europe again?

Oh, now, that is quite a question
which I can't answer today.
