For we are opposed
around the world

by a monolithic
and ruthless conspiracy...

that combines military,
diplomatic,

intelligence, economic,
scientific,

and political operations,

that relies primarily
on infiltration,

instead of invasion,

on subversion instead
of elections,

on intimidation instead
of free choice,

on guerrillas by night,
instead of armies by day.

Its preparations are concealed,
not published.

Its mistakes are buried,
not headlined.

Its dissenters are silenced,
not praised.

No rumor is printed, no secret
is revealed.

It conducts the Cold War,
in short,

with a wartime discipline

no democracy would ever hope
or wish to match.

Come in.

Agent Michael Larson.

FBI Case Number 6-7-9-5-2.

Today is November 25, 1983.

Please state your name
and occupation.

My name is Anya Popolovski.

I'm an archival analyst
for the Soviet Embassy

in Washington DC.

Note the Embassy has agreed
to cooperate with us

on this investigation.

Ms. Popolovski...

do you recognize this man?

His name is Timothy Daniels.
Ex-CIA.

Defected to Soviet Russia
in 1963.

This photo
was taken five days ago.

His file suggests a connection
to you and your father.

This can't be Timothy Daniels.

Why not?

Because Timothy Daniels is dead.

Ms. Popolovski...

I need to impress upon you
that this man is armed

and extremely dangerous.

And any attempt to protect him

will be regarded as treason
by the United States government.

The Cold War was founded
on lies, Agent Larson.

Secrets and lies.

I've made it my life's work
to study

the men who killed my parents.

This is my father,
Alexi Popolovski.

Commander of the
soviet missile corps.

Arthur Blackmark,
the military industrialist.

Timothy Daniels, the spy.

And Gerald Hillcrest. The man
in the shadows.

Put me in witness protection
and I can help you arrest

someone more dangerous
than Daniels.

Who?

The man
who killed John F. Kennedy.

World War II created
the two most powerful forces

on earth: the atomic bomb and
the military-industrial complex.

By the end
of the Second World War,

private military contractors

owned
the wealthiest corporations

in America. And as the fear
of communism spread,

so did their influence
and power.

Slowly, they began to use
their network

of intelligence operatives
to provoke the Cold War,

locking the United States
and the Soviet Union

in a permanent arms race.

By 1952, nuclear manufacturer,
Gerald Hillcrest

had formed The Consortium,

a group of the eight
most powerful corporations

in the world.
Together they would use

their power and influence
to control the world

with nuclear force.

We must guard against

the acquisition
of unwanted influence,

whether sought or unsought,

by the
military-industrial complex.

In 1962,

Gerald Hillcrest delivered
40 nuclear warheads

to Fidel Castro, sparking
the Cuban Missile Crisis,

bringing the world to the brink
of nuclear war,

changing the course
of history forever.

Then, in 1963,
a second missile crisis,

a secret missile crisis, began
with a phone call

to Timothy Daniels.

Your mission is as follows.

At 11:40 AM local time,
you will use the device

to access Layer Four
of the Russian Defense Network.

At 11:43,
you will access fire control

for Nuclear Ordinance
N-O-1-1-3-6.

You will enter Tier One targets.

At 11:45, you will engage
main firing sequence.

A successful launch

will result in the completion
of Operation Outpost.

Good luck.

-He's tapped fire control!
-Safety three offline!

Get me Kirlinkov
and Sergey.

Alexander, move DO-2235
to longitude 1148.001.

-Alert Ostrov and Pskov.
-VASILY: Yes, sir.

Vasily, narrow the band.

You cannot launch
against the Russians,

they will intercept.

They will intercept.
Do you think they're stupid?

Kennedy doesn't even
know what's going on!

Do you think
the Russians are idiots?

You don't even know
what's happened!

-Gentlemen.
-Sir.

At 3:45 local time, NO-1136
initiated main firing sequence.

Eastern seaboard.
High level targets.

Washington, Florida, New York.

-How many?
-Just the one.

-Just one?
-Only one, sir.

-This isn't Khrushchev.
-No, sir.

-How much time?
-Fifteen minutes.

Safety five offline!

Ebat, somebody
get me abort codes!

-The hell, Sergey?
-It's not us.

Codes entered.

Waiting
for confirmation.

Abort codes 2-3-X-Z-9-3-D.

Do we take Popolovski?

-Depends on the daughter.
-Ethics?

-Body count.
-One seventeen against 328.

It's a hell of a lot better
than M.A.D, sir!

-No.
-No? What do you mean, no?

Sir, we need to start priming
right goddamn now!

I think they'll intercept.

Thirty three percent.

Abort codes failed.
Interception approved.

I've got a trace!

Team Number Six,
with me!

Alexander, you have the floor.

We swing. Get Daniels
on the line.

One hundred twenty-eight million
people.

Two million if they intercept.

Three hundred twenty-eight
if we do nothing!

All right.

Hold those codes
until you get my order.

Thank you, sir.

This is Operation Outpost
requesting immediate extraction!

Key in 0-0-1-5-9-12.

Negative. Operation
is compromised!

Stand by.

Mr. Dobrynin, what the hell
is this?

Listen, listen. How do I know
what Khrushchev does?

He's like a mad dog.
Always barking, never biting!

That is for breaking my trust.

-They're coming.
-Who?

-Popolovski.
-Stand by.

-Scathe, go ahead.
-T minus five.

And sir, Popolovski came to us.

-We have Alexi Popolovski.
-So what?

You're gonna call the Kremlin.

You're gonna tell Khrushchev
to abort his goddamn missile!

They're here.

Sir, we need a decision.

Take him.

Daniels. New deal.
Crimson Curtain.

That's a hit, sir.

Alexander.

I have the device.
Blue box tone generator.

-How long?
-Two minutes.

Transmitting tones...

two, five, seven...

three, seven, nine, nine, six,
one.

Sergey?

Primer stage
still firing.

Nothing, Alexi.
Try again!

-Found it.
-One minute.

-Forty-five seconds!
-Codes?

Two, five, seven, three, seven,
nine, nine, six, one.

Sergey?

Abort successful,
comrade.

-Abort successful!
-Abort successful.

Why would the CIA order Daniels

to launch a missile
at his own country?

Daniels only thought he worked
for the CIA.

Thought?

Knowledge, intelligence
is power.

Blackmark made his fortune
buying intelligence operatives

from the CIA and selling
their information

to the highest bidder.

Daniels was his operative.

Why have I never heard
of Arthur Blackmark?

You have.

Today,
all major military contractors

are subsidiaries
of his corporation.

Blackmark Enterprises.

But neither Blackmark
nor the CIA

would ever order anyone

to launch a missile
at the United States.

That would be bad for business.

Where are we on the missile?

Khrushchev says it's us.
We say it's them.

-We give a response?
-Air Command's pushed

to DEFCON 3, but quietly.

I don't like the idea

of somebody running
around Russia

launching missiles
without telling me first.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Albrecht...

You are interrupting.

-I need you in room one.
-Mm-hmm.

Now!

Do we have confirmation
from Daniels?

He's gone dark, sir.

-We swung.
-We missed.

-We missed?
-He missed to be precise.

Two years of drills, two years
of training,

two years of waiting
for the exact,

perfect moment
to take Popolovski out!

He shows up on our doorstep
and we missed?

What does McCone say?

Khrushchev says it's us.

It could've been Daniels.

It is my theory...

that, with the help
of this device,

Daniels had access
to the Russian defense network,

and triggered one
of their nuclear launch codes.

Why launch a missile
at your own country?

Sir. Two submarines
carrying Polaris missiles

just went dark in the North Sea.

-Any signs of an attack?
-No.

If Kennedy
moves missiles back into Turkey,

we will have nuclear war
within 72 hours.

Daniels is our priority.
We find him,

we take Popolovski out,
we stop this from escalating.

Dr. Albrecht.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Blackmark.

Gerald.

Good to see you.

Get out of my office.

-Cigar?
-No.

You know
what these remind me of?

Cuba.

Do you remember
Bolshakov's message?

The one from Khrushchev?

"Under no circumstances

will surface-to-surface missiles
be sent to Cuba."

I had such high hopes for Cuba.

But...

Castro failed.

The problem is...

for every Castro,
there's a Khrushchev.

For every Khrushchev

there's a Kennedy.
And for every Kennedy...

there's you and me.

When Gods wage war...

it's men who must die.

What do you want?

I hear Kennedy...

is looking at Turkey again.

There are four horsemen, Arthur.

You, me, and everyone else.

It's time that we play our part.

Mary. Get me John McCone.

Who gave you the codes?

There are 692,000
total combinations

across our defense network.

It would mathematically take
1,359 days to force just one

of the nine digits
in the firing sequence.

So, again, who gave you
the codes?

Do you know
why Khrushchev doesn't ride

in a helicopter?

Stop me if you've heard
this one, but-- Ah!

Who gave you the codes, Daniels?

You did.

You're here...

...to protect your people.

Who gave you the codes?

I'm sorry.

Please.

It's my daughter's birthday.

No more blood.

Tell me who you work for.

How is Anya?

I love this game, Daniels...

between you and I,

between our countries,
but there are rules.

When you break the rules,

there are consequences.

This is business.

It is not personal
and we do not involve family.

-Goodbye, Timothy Daniels.
-Benzolpenocticide!

I have a medicine.

A medicine banned
by the Soviet Union.

A medicine your daughter needs!

-Benzolpenocticide?
-Yes.

It's a fair trade.

Do you know
why Khrushchev doesn't ride

in a helicopter?

Okay, Daniels.

You first.

-For Anya.
-No, it's morphine.

She'll need more.
And it comes every day at three.

If you want it.

I see.

Keep an eye on him.

Every time we play
the escalation game,

we get one step closer
to mutually assured destruction!

Kennedy needs a response.

Any sign
that we are moving missiles

back into Turkey will be enough
to set Khrushchev off!

And then we will be right back
where we were last October.

They were this close.

To firing on New York City.

Now, you sit down.

What if I told you...

that I could end the Cold War
tonight?

You're serious?

What do you know
about Alexi Popolovski?

He's a hand in nuclear affairs.

Bit of a pesky fellow.

Runs stings on all of our agents
but minor player.

Have you ever found
his fail-safe?

-His fail-safe?
-Back in the days of Stalin...

people of political importance,
who didn't want to get the ax,

would incentivize
their livelihoods.

Blackmail, loyalty lines,

things that could be released
or destroyed

on the event of their deaths.

Take a guess
what Alexi Popolovski's is.

How did we not catch this?

Your boys and my boys
play different games, John.

Does KGB know about this?

No.

What do you need?

I need a team. Six, from Russia,

ready to make
a discretionary strike

at my command.

I'll make the call.

I need to run this up the chain.
Especially now!

Especially after Dulles.

Do not talk to the President
about this.

What exactly is it
that you don't want

the president to know, Arthur?

John, there are things I do
for you...

that even you don't want
to know about.

This stays between us.

You know how to reach me.

Something about this rings
very bad to me, Arthur.

California Shipbuilding, John.

You don't profit from a war
like this.

No one does.

Blackmark
was the youngest member

-of the Consortium.
-Clear.

Handpicked
by Gerald Hillcrest

to become its leader.

But the Cuban Missile Crisis
had turned Blackmark

and Hillcrest
against each other.

And McCone's unwillingness
to cooperate

affirmed what Blackmark
feared most...

that Hillcrest was trying
to start a new world war.

All he needed
was a little proof.

Must you be so obvious,
Arthur?

How much did you pay McCone?

You came here
to talk politics?

He said that he met someone...

who was hired to sink
an Onassis ship.

Now, why would anybody
wanna do that?

It's what I'm here to find out.

You know, you could lose
your holdings for this.

Or I could kill you.

And isn't that really
why you came?

No. Oh, not yet.

This is a gift.

Token of our friendship.

It's from the masthead
of the Stiletto.

You know, you--

you still manage to surprise me,
Arthur.

Sir...

We found something you need
to see.

Good evening, Gerald

Oh, Arthur...

We'll be having
Thanksgiving early this year.

I hope you can be there.

This way, sir.

In 1962, the United States
had missile bases

along the Turkish coast,

less than 300 miles
from the Soviet Union.

As part of the resolution
to the Cuban Missile Crisis,

Kennedy agreed to remove
his missiles from Turkey.

And just as soon as he did,

Hillcrest replaced them
with his own.

If Khrushchev thought Kennedy
had gone back on his word...

the result could only be war.

Vatrushka?

Have you ever seen the lights
of the Kremlin at night?

Of course.

No, no, no.

Have you really looked
at the lights?

Read the message in the lights?

You know how Stalin died?

Da.

We are going to go the same way.

I have read the message
in the lights.

Kennedy's in Turkey.

Defense Condition Two.

Set quietly.

He never left, Alexi.

I need information.

Brunt...

I may need to leave.

Where?

Not like that.

I don't envy you, Alexi...

after what they did to Anya.

But my uncle, he went
to Lubyanka.

He's dead now.

Da.

I will keep them off your back
as long as I can.

Always at your service.

Stay safe, comrade.

-He has the photographs?
-Of course.

And?

He said something strange.

He needs to go dark. He wants
to disappear for a few days.

Then he's right
where we want him.

Did he give you anything?

-Only a syringe.
-Then he has Daniels.

Exactly. Perhaps I can acquire
both assets, same time

Well, prepare the extraction.

But be sure
to keep me closely informed.

Thank you, sir.

My father had a choice.

Turn Daniels in
and give up my cure,

or use him for his medicine and
risk being caught by the KGB.

-Hello?
-Brunt...

what did you find?

The drug is real.
Benzolpenocticide.

I think it will stop
the infection,

maybe heal her scars.
But be careful.

I have to go, comrade.

Anya.

I love you so much,
my little zaichik.

Anya...

Anya!

Anya.

Anya, Anya.

Anya!

Anya! Anya!

Shh!

It's okay, it's okay.

I was my father's
greatest weakness.

Me, too.

Tell me about Hillcrest.

Why provoke Khrushchev
and Kennedy?

War, paranoia, fear...

they were good for business.

But Hillcrest wanted more.

By escalating tensions
between the two countries,

Hillcrest hoped to draw out
and eliminate anyone...

who might threaten his power.

When he ordered Daniels
to launch a Soviet missile,

he wasn't starting a war
between the United States

and the Soviet Union.

He was starting a war
on Blackmark.

Can somebody tell me
what the hell this is?

Sir, CIA leaked our intel.

KGB's looking for Popolovski.

I'll get McCone.

All right. Every mole
in the USSR

is about to find out
about Popolovski's fail-safe.

And when they do, Khrushchev
is gonna shut it down so fast

we won't have time to blink.

But if we kill Popolovski
before his abort codes change,

we end the Cold War.

I need to know where Daniels is.
Now.

-His signal just went online.
-Give me a timetable.

Twelve hours for the information
to disseminate,

twenty more
until the codes change.

-Thirteen-hour flight each way.
-Options?

-Air drop in Potapovo?
-Forty-five klicks?

-Checkpoints.
-What about Moscow?

Political mail run?

Might work.
Will the embassy buy it?

-What about Black Division?
-Not ready yet, sir.

-I can get us in.
-How?

We've been tracking
for special activities.

Deep cover smuggling operation
with the Soviets.

-Where?
-Poltava, Ukraine.

-Idaho.
-Sir?

Vodka.

-It could work.
-Turnaround time on the plane?

Four hours. Touch down
five miles South of Moscow.

-No check points.
-It'll piss off McCone.

-He'll pull our contract.
-I won't let him.

-What's our cover?
-E 'n' A mission?

-Reiner should buy that.
-I buy it.

All right, let's play ball.
Operation code named "Idaho."

I want our boys airborne
within the hour.

-Marshall makes the call.
-Yes, sir.

-Copy.
-Excuse me.

Operation code named Idaho.

Tactical squad armed, moving
on the apartment.

Thank you. Counter
Operation Code Breadbasket.

And find out what Albrecht
is working on.

-Yes, sir.
-That's excellent work, Scathe.

You keep me posted.

Wake up.

-You killed my daughter!
-Your daughter's fine.

-You poisoned her!
-Benzolpenocticide.

Its side effects are violent,
but the drug itself is harmless.

No, Mr. Popolovski.
I play by the rules.

Liar!

I need you to help me
understand what's going on here.

Maybe we can...

work out some kind of deal.

Why does the CIA want you dead?

Hello?

Prepare
for delivery.

-Code Breadbasket.
-Copy that.

You have one hour.

Hello?

Don't open it!

You're not on my list.

I'm compiling a report
for Weapons Development.

Arthur did not inform me.

They're asking
about isotope penetration.

Ah. I have just finished
the final adjustment.

Isotope penetration
has increased...

twelve percent.

Now...

wait till you see this.

The first ever
radio chemical weapon.

Now watch...

you see?

Twelve thousand rads.

Delivered
in a highly concentrated dose

in human subjects, the results
are exponentially better.

Is it enough?

This weapon could
kill a man in 15 seconds.

Provided he is in a 20 foot
radius

and has not been injected
with my antidote serum.

I will inform Blackmark
immediately.

Herr Scathe!

Never enter my laboratory again
without permission.

Yes, Dr. Albrecht.

You know, I fought
with your cousin during the war.

We were...

on a joint operation together
at Ravensbruck.

He talked about you a lot.
He said that...

you were a brave man.

I'm sure your daughter
would probably agree.

Have you ever been to Boston
in the fall?

I prefer New Hampshire.

Hmm, children. Please,
I don't have much time.

My name is
Bruntoshkow Molotowski,

Central Intelligence.
You may call me Brunt.

Predatel!

It's the nature
of our game.

You know this, Alexi.

-Wait. You know him?
-Well, da. Professionally.

New orders, Daniels.
Popolovski lives.

Yeah. Alexander Kordakov
discovered his fail-safe.

What fail-safe?

-You don't know?
-No.

And we work
for intelligence agency!

If Popolovski dies,

abort codes are sent directly
to Department of Defense.

-To what missiles?
-All of them.

But is useless now.

Alexander discovered the codes,
so they're being changed.

But still this information
is valuable.

Worth something
to President Jack.

What do you want me to do
with this?

Keep him here,
keep him alive...

while I arrange extraction.

Hmm.

Hmm. Ah, I will call you
on the 20th.

Code word remains Breadbasket.

All other operations
have been terminated.

If they use any other code word
you can assume it is a threat!

Oh, and please, lock
the damn door.

Keep him alive.
Wait for my call.

That day,
Blackmark's red phone rang

for the first time
since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

His team had arrived
in Moscow.

And his worst fears were
about to come true.

Sir, Khrushchev
found out about the missiles.

We're piping the call
into the war room now.

Mr. President,

can you tell me
why my intelligence shows

there are still
ten nuclear missiles

on the Turkish coast?

Mr. Khrushchev,
I have seen those reports.

Those are not our missiles!

Then whose missiles
are they, Mr. President?

-We had an agreement.
-Dammit.

All our missiles
were removed last October.

We have nothing to gain
from war.

Then why did you
order your American agent

to launch a Soviet missile
at the United States?

I neither ordered
nor condoned

-any such operation.
-Lies!

If you do not remove
your missiles from Istanbul...

-Damage control?
-we will be forced

-to destroy you...
-Nothing we can do.

...city by city. State by state.

Until there is nothing left
of your country

but death and ashes!

If you launch
a single missile at our country,

I will unleash the full force
of this nation against you!

Our nuclear missiles
are prepared to launch now.

Remove your missiles,
Mr. President.

You have 72 hours.

Put a lid on the press.

Lean on them.

Shut it down
before anyone finds out.

Yes sir.

I want to see my family.

Do you know why Khrushchev
doesn't ride

-in a helicopter?
-We need to get out of Moscow.

When Khrushchev came to America
he rode in a... Marine One.

And he loved that helicopter
so much

he wanted one for himself.

But his advisors refused.

They said...

Soviet helicopters
weren't safe enough.

There's no missile gap, Alexi.

We've always been ahead.

How long have you been here?

Five years, eight months,
six days.

How did you get such good vodka?

Idaho Potatoes.

Yeah. Khrushchev
smuggles 'em in.

Keeps the people happy.

Somebody's coming.

-Hello?
-Prepare for extraction.

-Operation code?
-Idaho.

Yes, sir.

What's going on?

-What is it?
-I don't know.

Take that.

Are you seriously trusting me
with a shotgun

Yes. If I start screaming,
start shooting.

Let's move to the closet.

We're on site. Red light?
Green light?

Green light. Operation is a go.

Copy.

-Timothy Daniels?
-Yes?

Operation Idaho.

What was that passphrase again?

Idaho, sir.

We have the extraction orders
right here.

Right. Come in.

There's no sign
of Popolovski.

Looks like there's
a code mix-up.

These orders mention,
uh, Alexi Popolovski?

Yes, sir. We're
on an E 'n' A mission,

Popolovski's the target.

Haven't seen him.

Popolovski's been here.
Daniels is claiming otherwise.

Then find him!

Eastman, keep an eye on him.

Arlen, Scott, you're with me.

Now!

We're taking heavy fire
from both Daniels

and Popolovski.

-Request regroup and support.
-Negative.

Reiner, there's no time.
You fail, we're at war.

Hey.

Who is this?

This is your handler,
Mr. Daniels.

What's going on?
Why are you refusing extraction?

Your agents didn't give
the correct passphrase!

I'm under new orders
to keep Popolovski alive.

Negative. Popolovski
is the target.

I can change the parameters
of my mission.

Just give me
the correct passphrase!

I can give you
additional identification.

-What is the passphrase?
-Idaho!

I am ordering you
to kill Popolovski, Daniels!

Popolovski's codes
will be changed within the hour.

We are 72 hours away

from Mutually Assured
Destruction.

Let's start the clock.

Marshall, Hiller...

begin reviewing lockdown
procedures

and establishing
containment zones.

Copy that.

Hillcrest
couldn't let Blackmark

activate my father's fail-safe.

And four innocent men died...
because of it.

Fearing the shootout
would attract

unwanted attention,

Daniels decided to keep
my family together,

in one place.

And so, we prepared
for Brunt's extraction...

as the threat of nuclear war
loomed on the horizon.

When are we going,
Papa?

Soon, Anya.

-Will America hate us?
-No.

But why does America hate us?

Because we hate them.

Why, Papachika?

Because...

a long time ago...

we were friends.

But then we started
to keep secrets.

And build walls.

Never build walls.

-I like secrets.
-Hush, Anya.

Are you ready?

Stalin's heart stopped.

Turn off your recorder.

I have a proposal.

What are you terms?

Reconstruction.

Your industries are suffering.

The eastern drought,
the missile gap.

I can give you everything
we have.

In exchange, we get cash flow.

Buried in our foreign accounts.

I stay active,
in the United States.

I get Khrushchev's ear...

and I make sure he keeps
his army out of West Berlin.

I wish we were for sale.

He came to us first.

Gerald Hillcrest.

We can offer you protection.

I have seen your protection.

Even if you could nullify
this contract...

nobody controls Khrushchev.

I think
there are only two ways...

to end this crisis.

Either find a new premiere...

or you elect a new president.

You know...

I called my wife today.

If this is our last meeting,
Mr. Dobrynin,

it's been a pleasure.

An absolute pleasure, Arthur.

Sorry about the wrist.

The com chatter...

has us about...

50 hours out.

So I figured-- Ah.

We'd find out
who this belongs to.

Can you tell me something,
Daniels?

It's not CIA,

and it's too modern to be KGB.
I can probably use it to, uh,

tap the American trunk line,
maybe abort one or two missiles.

Why launch a missile...

at your own country?

'Cause I had my orders.

And you never question orders?

What are you gettin' at?

Did you...

ever think...

that we caused this war?

Pass me the cutters.

Men like us who follow orders?

I operate under the impression
that if my commanding officer

orders me to launch
a nuclear strike

at my own country...

It's for a damn good reason.

But who is...

your commanding officer?

I know Brunt.

He doesn't work for the CIA.

Well, maybe he's a double agent.

Are you sure?

Damn it.

What if, Daniels...

what if you have been working
for the Politburo

this entire time?

What if it was Khrushchev
who ordered you to launch

-that miss--?
-That's enough.

What if you don't even work
for the CIA?

You said it yourself,

you've never seen a radio
like this before.

What if your loyalty...

...started a war that would end
the life of my daughter...

-my family, of my country?
-I said that's enough!

What if you had killed me?

I watched your cousin...

lead a platoon of men
to their death at Ravensbruck.

I followed my orders.
I kept my head down.

He died, I lived!

Alexi, I would give
everything...

everything I have to stop
this war.

What country, Daniels?

-What sacrifice?
-Sacrifice?

What about Anya?

I made a mistake.

-They burnt her face!
-I learned my lesson.

I do this...

for your daughter.

For all the Anya's in the world

that are hiding
behind the Iron Curtain.

That's why I joined the CIA.
And that's why I follow orders.

Blackmark Enterprises.

Put a burn notice out
on Daniels.

He's no use to us now.

Let the KGB handle him.

You are not...

who you think you are...

Timothy Daniels.

Go take care of your family,
Alexi.

By taking away all
of his options,

Hillcrest left Blackmark
with only two ways

to stop the clock.

Find a new premiere...

...or elect a new president.

-If we have a sniper--
-Do agree

with your first premise.
Poison is not an option.

What I need from you
is the name of your top con...

-Yes?
-They're holding a meeting.

Something big.
Arthur's keeping me in the dark.

-Does he know anything?
-I'm not sure.

Albrecht's building
a radio-chemical weapon.

There's an antidote serum.
Are we ready to move forward?

No. We need the serum first.
Move quickly, Scathe.

-What are you doing in here?
-Just a smoke.

Hmm.

Yeah. Me, too.

Can I be candid with you,
Scathe?

Of course, sir.

I miss sleep.

Being able to turn off
my light...

and go to bed knowing the world
is gonna be here tomorrow.

I used to believe in the promise
of America.

What do you believe in, Scathe?

Freedom, sir.

Freedom?

Yeah.

Me, too.

It's why I trust you.

Let's get back to work.

Mr. Oswald
is here to see you.

Send him in.

This way.

-Mr. Oswald.
-Call me Lee.

-Scotch?
-No.

-Tell me about your time in--
-I can't tell you about Russia.

Why not?

Client confidentiality.

You were stripped
of your sharpshooter status?

Sergeant didn't like me.

And I take it you are
comfortable with...

-high-level targets?
-I believe I am.

And it should go
without saying that anything

-that we say in this room
-You know, I am nothing

if not professional.

Double your rate,
no questions asked.

But I'm gonna have
to have you sign something...

before I give you the name.

With respect,
if this is a matter of trust--

No, I trust you'll get
the job done.

Your record makes that clear.
However...

I need you to sign.

This is serious.

You said double my rate?

Okay.

Give the name.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

The President
of the United States.

Come in.

There's been a development.
With Daniels, sir.

KGB is moving on his apartment
within the hour.

Scathe.

-Is everything all right?
-Stay here.

I need your assurance

-that this is going...
-Scathe!

to be taken care of!

Somebody find me Scathe!

Scathe!

Albrecht?

The serum...

Shit.

-We're leaving now!
-Daniels, what is it?

They're coming!

I need her medicine!

What is it?

-KGB.
-How do you know?

It's not here.

-Brunt. We need to go now!
-BRUNT: I'm on my way.

Ten minutes.

Dostatochno!

Alexi...

Khrushchev says privet!

No!

Anya...

Come with me.

Where is Alexi?

We'll split up.
There's a car downstairs.

They will give you passport
and money,

take you directly to Langley.
I...

will take Anya from here.

It's okay.

Your father loved--

I need you to do me a favor,
Anya.

Keep these safe for me, okay?

I never said goodbye
to my father.

The official report said
your parents died in a fire.

That night there was
a phone call made

to the KGB.

I'm sure it was Blackmark.

You don't think
it could've been Hillcrest?

Blackmark, Hillcrest,
it doesn't matter.

My father died for wealthy men
in a foreign country.

Not for glory or honor
but because of their greed.

This is true evil, Agent Larson.

Men who consume and destroy
for profit.

But my father wasn't enough.

Blackmark wanted blood.

He wanted
to become Gerald Hillcrest.

Stay close...

we won't have much time.

Good luck, sir.

Gentlemen.

It is the tradition
of this Consortium

to meet once a year
on Thanksgiving.

Hmm. However, due to the--
the present global crisis,

we've been forced to meet early.
First time in our history.

But we're not gonna let
that dampen our mood, are we?

No. It has been
a most eventful year.

So, let's begin. Brother Mark.

My brothers...

look at what we've created.

We built this country...

with our sweat and our blood.

We built this administration
with our influence and guile.

And we built this war...

with our pride and our greed.

Gentlemen, I have a dream.

I have a vision of the future.

I see war.

Endless, ceaseless, unwinnable
and without reason.

I see tall buildings fall.

I see presidents and kings...

reduced to pawns and jesters.

I see fear in the eyes
of every man, woman and child,

as they watch
the stock markets crumble...

as they lose their homes,
their jobs,

their families. I see a world
crying out...

for a higher power.

Gentlemen.
We are that higher power.

And when the world is ours...

we will profit.

And yet...

and yet...

there are those in this room
who have betrayed me.

That's enough!

You've played Khrushchev
and Kennedy.

You have worked night and day,

bringing them
to this boiling point.

The Bay of Pigs,
the Missile Crisis.

Alexi Popolovski
and Timothy Daniels.

And tomorrow...

finally...

you will bring the world
to an end.

Did you think I wouldn't notice
your signature?

What do you think?

Gentlemen...

a toast.

To Gerald Hillcrest.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

When Gods wage war,
men must die.

You haven't stopped the clock.

Gentlemen.

I'm sorry. Mr. McCone
can't see you right now.

He asked me to inform you
that your recording

doesn't contain
a credible threat,

and that he has no record
of your employment.

I did manage to find these
in our archives.

Evacuate
all above ground floors.

Sections B1 through five
proceed immediately

to your designated
fallout shelters.

This is not a drill.

Date and sign, please.

On November 22nd, 1963,

Arthur Blackmark inherited
the seven

most powerful corporations
in the world.

As the soviet missiles
began their final countdown.

As Lee Harvey Oswald prepared
to assassinate

the president
of the United States.

You must recite the phrase

to complete the transfer
of power.

There is power in darkness.

From darkness I came...

a rider on a black horse.

To judge.

And to condemn.

Rule the world with power
and authority.

To claim my inheritance.

For I am the darkness.

Listen. Listen!

I want you to hear the sound
of power.

The sound of death.

And the darkness grows
inside of me.

Shots have been fired

at the President's motorcade
on its way

through downtown Dallas.
The suspect is a white male,

armed, believed to be carrying
a 30-caliber rifle.

Hold on. This just in...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
the President is dead.

He died just moments ago,
at Parkland Hospital, in Dallas.

Scathe killed Daniels
to keep the world from ending,

and then he went into hiding.

In fear of Blackmark.

Brunt stayed active
in the Soviet Union.

And I was raised
by the Russian ambassador.

He told me parts of the story.

I learned the rest on my own.

I want you to find Blackmark
and bring him to justice!

For killing the President.
For killing my father.

And I want to be placed

in the witness protection
program.

I'm sorry, Anya.

There's nothing I can do.

I want to believe you.
But this investigation

is about Daniels. Nobody else.

History repeats itself,
Agent Larson.

When the Cold War ends,
a new war will begin.

And another, and another,

until Blackmark controls
the world.

I've never heard
of Arthur Blackmark.

If you follow the power
in your government, you will--

Dammit, Anya! Do you
or do you not know

where Timothy Daniels is?

I took a big risk involving
your embassy

and I need somethin' to show
for it.

So, if he's dead...

give me proof.

Proof.

Daniels' recording of Blackmark
hiring Lee Harvey Oswald.

Bring him to justice.

Anya...

If this is real...

be very careful
who you can trust.

Everyone has a fail-safe...
Agent Larson.

We could use more people
like you.

We'll be in touch.

Give me the tape.

Timothy Daniels.

Blackmark's been lookin'
for you.

Like he was looking for Scathe?

Scathe.

Do you know
what his last words were,

before I killed him?

"I believe in freedom."

As long as Blackmark's
still alive,

there is no freedom.
Not for me...

not for Anya.

She almost had me convinced
you were dead.

She lied.
