"President of the United States
of America to Joint Chiefs of Staff,

12th of June 1963.

And so, notwithstanding
the success of the recent test,

it is the decision
of this administration

that the Enhanced Radiation Weapon
program be discontinued forthwith.

And a treaty to ban all
nuclear testing will be drawn up.

I am sorry, sir.

Who the hell is this?

We gave him
a school physics paper.

Couldn't answer
a single question.

Some forms of viral encephalitis

can result in a state like this.

Lead poisoning, of course,
or drug toxicity.

Prospects for recovery?

Limited, I'd say.

Can't remember a thing.

Not so far.

Nothing between the
abduction and his return.

If it was an abduction.

Look, William, move on.
The Americans are our allies.

Next month, JFK will be
paying us the honor of a visit,

and your disruptive theories
will not be welcome.

Concentrate on what you can do
to fend off the envious vultures

that circle your department.

- This new defector, for example.
- Dr Lavotchkin.

Sounds promising.

- Top-notch boffin from the East.
- Yes.

My agents are to debrief her,
and I'll present my recommendation.

Did you kill her?

No, Palmer, you did.

Don't you wanna know
what we're gonna do to you?

Take me out to dinner, perhaps.

Any day now, I will
receive a verbal instruction.

The water beneath us
is 4,500 feet deep.

Under cover of darkness, we will tie
you to a 200-pound block of concrete

and drop you into the ocean.

I see.

I did wonder, but now
you've put my mind at rest.

The next time you hear that
door open

will be the last time.

Palmer was convinced and had reason
to believe that Dawson was on that island.

But provided no evidence
to confirm that,

and now Palmer is the one
who is missing.

But from his conversations
with Dr Newton...

Who is, tragically, deceased.

Possibly suicide, possibly not.

The list of things we will
never know grows ever longer.

The Americans know
where Palmer is.

Not according to them,
they don't.Then they're lying.

There's nothing we can do.

Our hands are tied.

And in the interests
of transatlantic relations,

we're obliged
to let the matter rest.

And Harry?

I hope he's all right.

That's the best I can offer.

Do you see, Jean?

Bluntly, Corporal Palmer is not
worth the special relationship.

On December 29th, 1962,
President John F Kennedy

welcomed home members
of the Cuban exile Brigade

who were taken prisoner
by Fidel Castro

after the failed
Bay of Pigs invasion.

This rally,
in Miami's Orange Bowl,

was also intended
to reconcile the President

with the Cuban exile community.

Many felt he had not
given the invasion

sufficient military support.

Gentlemen of the Brigade...

...I need not tell you...

Not every day I get a visitor.

Would have rolled out the
red carpet if I'd had more notice.

- How you doing?
- I'm okay. How you doing?

Well, let's add it all up,
shall we?

I'm a cripple.

Mary's gone,
which is for the best for her,

because I would not want her
to be with a cripple.

I'm broke, on account of the
invasion not being officially sanctioned.

So being crippled wasn't
officially in the line of duty,

which is for the best
for America,

because I would not want America
to have to finance a cripple.

So that leaves pretty much...
as I am.

But, going through all my...

...look what I found.

They were good men. You can keep it.

I never was much of one
for mementos.

I want you to keep it.

Do you ever think about
how it could've been different?

Every day.

One squadron of F-11s
is all it would have taken.

One damn squadron.
That's all we had to send.

We could've marched all the way
to Havana and smoked a cigar.

We could.

I see you still got
his picture up.

Well, I'm Irish.
I voted for him.

So did I.

Look, anything I can do for you?

Sure. Before you go,
there's a .38 in the bedroom

and a box of ammunition.

Kind of awkward to load
with one hand,

so if you wouldn't mind slotting
one round into the chamber

before you go,
I'd be so very grateful.

Obviously, we're delighted

you wish to make
the United Kingdom your home,

that you wish to contribute your
skills to assisting with our defence.

Nevertheless, I must emphasise
the more you tell us, the better.

An attitude of complete candour will
work in your favour, no matter how awkward.

I understand. Thank you.

And with that understanding,
we shall proceed.

Let's start at the beginning,
shall we?

Tell us about your childhood.

- Somewhere to live?
- Yes.

What's wrong with your parents?
They've got a nice house, haven't they?

Yes, but I don't want
to live there any more.

Why not?

That's not your business.

So, this is for you
and your fiancé, is it?

Just me.

And when you're married?
I'm not getting married.

- I thought you were.
- Well, I'm not.

Why not?

Lavender Gardens, number 41.41?

That's what it says. Well, that's Palmer's.

Well, he won't be needing it
for a while, will he?

Not fond of him, were you?

Because I shouldn't think
we'll ever see him again.

You must be disappointed.

Yeah, that's what everyone
keeps telling me.

Aren't you?

- Disappointed?
- Yeah.

That we backed down in the
face of communist aggression?

That we attempt to appease an
ideology that cannot be appeased

by disavowing
the weapons of superiority?

Disappointed barely
scratches the surface.

Seven years
I gave to that project.

Seven years of skirmishes
in the Pentagon and Congress.

Seven years
of herding scientists.

Delivered the tool
to neutralise their tanks.

All cast aside at the stroke
of a presidential signature.

Life is hard.

We serve as best we can.

Exactly.

Besides, the project
leaves many benefits.

I particularly enjoyed
our collaboration.

There was an asset
whom we did not trust.

Your technique ensured his
loyalty. That was impressive.

I don't pretend to
understand the finer details

of the physiology
of the human brain,

but being able to shape a man,
to control how he thinks,

what he believes in,
what he does.

Now, that's interesting.

He was damaged in the process.

Nevertheless, it worked.

The neutron bomb exploded.

General,
can I ask what you want?

As you know, Paul, I...

I make it my business to learn
all I can about people I work with.

I know about your experiences
and your disappointments...

...with our esteemed leader.

And I am here today, representing
a number of like-minded men,

many of whom, like me,

have sworn an oath
to defend the constitution,

as I believe you have too.

My disappointments?

Let's talk about
that English spy.

Who, Palmer? That's the one.

Where is he now? He's offshore,

in international waters,
outside of any jurisdiction.

Officially, he disappeared.

Unless my department
can find a use for him,

his disappearance
will be permanent.

Must be a use
for a man like that.

Ex-military. Discredited.
Criminal record.

No-one to stand up for him
if things go wrong.

A disturbed and dangerous man,

capable of perpetrating
a heinous crime.

Is this entrapment?

Maybe I should call
the FBI.What's stopping you?

And tell them what,
incidentally?

General, as much as I might
share your feelings...

There is an impediment to the defence of
our nation. You know that as well as I do.

The only question you have
to ask is yourself is...

what am I prepared
to do about it?

Now, you're going to sleep,
Mr Palmer,

and when you wake up,
everything will be different.

Talk to us about the years
before your arrest.

Living in Moscow, working at the
institute. What was the atmosphere like?

Frightening, sometimes.

I mean, under Stalin,
we were accustomed to fear,

but still,
you had to be very careful

and you never knew who to trust.

Did you have a boyfriend?

- Sorry?
- A boyfriend.

Well...

no-one special.

But a boy? Or boys?

Yes. Dates,
I suppose you might call them.

Tell me about them.

- All of them?
- Yes, all of them.

He's a grown man.
He doesn't just go missing.

The Americans have control
of the island.

Their official statement
is that they cannot find him.

And you don't believe that?

I don't know.

But you're in this, too, aren't
you? Working for the government.

Yes. Spying, isn't it?

Yes.

And how does that work?

I mean, what is it
you actually do?

It's gathering intelligence
and providing analysis

and using people.

Exploiting them, somehow or
another. That's what we have to do.

We find out whatever weakness they have
and we manipulate them into helping us.

That's it, really.

If they're honest people,
we exploit their decency,

and if they're dishonest,
we exploit their guilt.

You see, everyone has something.

We lie to them and twist them,

so they come to trust us

and depend on us
when they really shouldn't,

tell us things
they're not supposed to,

often at great risk
to themselves.

And if it's going well,
maybe we'll allow them to think

that they are the ones
twisting us...

whilst always aware

that they might be playing
exactly the same game.

Are you good at it?

Yes.

Welcome to China, Harry.

Did you enjoy your flight?

You know, our American friends
have been very kind.

They've told us all about you,
which is good news for you and me.

Means we don't have to waste
a lot of time with questions.

Now, I understand
you were in Korea, yes?

You killed
a lot of people, Harry,

a lot of men in one night.

A lot of Chinese men.

You shot them dead.

I want to take you back
to those days, Harry.

I want you to feel
like you did then.

Do you see the enemy, Harry?

This is the enemy.

You're going to feel a pain now,
a pain deep inside your soul.

The pain will come back
again and again.

But when you are ready
to kill the enemy,

the pain will stop.

I wonder if you're at all concerned
about the consequences of your action.

Consequences?

Well, for anyone who defects,
there's a risk the authorities

may punish those they leave behind
and you have a brother, Dr Lavotchkin.

They will not hurt him.

No? He wasn't part of my escape.

He lives in Moscow.

And he's a respected member
of the party.

But even so,
they may persecute him.

And his family, his wife,
his children,

in order to punish you
for leaving

and to deter others who might plan the
same thing. Doesn't that concern you?

No. No.

I don't think
they would do that.

He's a very good citizen.

I think
they will leave him alone.

I think she's lying, sir.

About what?

It's difficult to say. I mean...

Factually,
as far as we're able to discern,

it all seems plausible,
it's just...

Emotionally,
if you see what I mean?

I'm not sure if I believe her.

Alice?

Well, I'm inclined to agree
with Mr Chilcott-Oakes.

She's hiding something, sir.

Frankly, sir, I don't trust her.

Thank you.

Well, while I respect your
instincts and experience,

I hope that, for your report,
you will limit yourself to the facts

- and abstain from conjecture.
- Of course, sir.

And, on the basis of facts,
I'll make a decision.

One other thing, sir.

She says that her brother
will be safe.

We all know
that's not true, don't we?

Well, I agree,
that's a possibility.

It's more than that, sir.

It's,
how they do things, isn't it?

Standard practice.

A week or so from now, the
Soviet embassy will issue a note,

just to let us know
that he's been arrested

and then, we'll have to
decide whether to tell her or not.

Don't worry, Harry.

It's painful, I know,
but soon this will be over.

Soon, you will be back home.

When you are ready,
you'll go to sleep,

just like coming here, and
when you wake up, big surprise.

Harry is back in England!

Maybe you can live
with Deborah and Pete

and they will look after you
and everyone will be so happy.

I can't help but feel
that you and I...

That we have unfinished
business, professionally.

About your qualities
as an intelligence officer.

I think we should continue
to have that conversation.

Where's Palmer?

I knew you'd want to ask
about him.

It's a fair question.
I've come prepared.

As much as we know.

Karl Davitz is a 26-year-old
army lieutenant.

Unblemished record,
fine career ahead of him,

or at least he did have.

Lieutenant Davitz was
supposed to fly out of Sopinofu

three days after the test,

but the lieutenant got drunk
the night before departure

under circumstances which are
still the subject of investigation.

He woke up at noon,
having missed his flight.

Only, according
to the personnel log,

he, in fact, boarded
the Convair C-131 as planned.

By the time we were notified,

the flight had already
touched down in California.

That same day, someone
using the lieutenant's passport

boarded a flight from San
Francisco to Mexico City

and changed there
for one to Madrid.

Thereafter, the trail goes cold
and we can assume that Palmer

has ditched that passport
and found a new one.

He's back in Europe, Jean,

and I wouldn't be surprised
if he's back in England.

I hope you believe me.

You must be exhausted,
coming all that way.

China? Yeah.

Bloody hell.

Bit close to Korea, that is.

Too close, I can tell you.

What did they want with you?

- It's difficult to say, really.
- Did they hurt you?

I think they tried to.

I think they want me
to do something for them.

Dunno what it is yet, though.

But I've got this feeling
they want me to hurt someone.

You wouldn't
hurt anyone. Not now.

But I have done, haven't I?

That was a long time ago.

You're a gentle soul, Harry.

They're wasting their time if
that's what they want out of you.

- Apart from...
- What?

Pete! Sorry, love.

- No, what is it?
- No, nothing.

Well, that fellow in Beirut.

- What?
- The American.

Shot him, didn't you?

- How do you know about that?
- He had children, didn't he?

- What?
- Two little daughters.

And that doctor on Sopinofu.

Poor woman, eh?

What was it, suicide?
Murder? Who knows?

Got to say, either way, it
had your fingerprints all over it.

Morally speaking, I mean.

I'm disappointed, Harry.
I thought you'd changed.

He's still got it in him, Debs.

Stop it! I won't!
I won't kill anyone!

How do you know? You're a killer, Harry.

That's all you are now.

Nothing but a killer,
waiting for a victim.

They won't harm him.

How do you know?

Because, crudely,

his value as a lever
of extortion against you

depends on his being alive.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.No.

I thought it would be a clean
break, that I could free you

and there would be no
consequences. I miscalculated.

There's nothing
we can do now. There is.

I will go back.
I have no choice.No.

I can't leave my
brother in a prison.

There is another way.

I will have to pay, somehow.
That's all.

A quid pro quo.

You make it sound so simple.

Well, it happens.

What payment?

Stok is a pragmatist.

What he will ask from you
is betrayal.

We can reach an agreement.

I will go back. Tell him that...

No, please.

You are free now.
I will do whatever I need to do.

Do you remember where you were?

Do you remember
anything that happened?

Or who you were with?

Did you meet
Doctor Karen Newton?

Is this where you sat?

What did they do to you
in this chair?

Did it start
at Professor Radley's?

We're both thinking
the same thing.

Look...

I know you have a great sense
of loyalty towards Mr Dalby.

You know that, do you?

How very well-informed
you must be.

That he brought back
your husband's wedding ring

after he buried him
by that God-forsaken railway.

I would honestly prefer it if you
didn't stray into personal matters.

Alice.

There's something
he's not telling us.

When he was in Moscow, he
knew people in dissident circles.

Of course he did,
he was an intelligence officer.

Some of those dissidents
were also friends of hers.

Their contacts overlapped.

But they never
mentioned each other.

I've been back over all his reports
from 1952 and he never mentions her.

And Dalby was already married?

Yes.

And, yes, we are both
thinking the same thing.

Vienna? Yes.

More trade discussions,
I suppose.

No.

Not trade discussions.

That's not what I do,
as a matter of fact.

I'm sorry,
but I don't understand.

I've never worked
for the Board of Trade.

I am the director
of an intelligence agency

under the aegis
of the Ministry of Defense.

I am, I suppose, a spy.

I have been since about 1948.

A year before we were married.

Yes.

I've had enough
of deception, you see.

I see.

And is there anything else
you want to tell me about?

Conditioning Models
And Their Benefits:

Physical And Neurological.

Key vectors towards
subconscious cognitive triggers.

One, induction of serotonin-nor
epinephrine responses

through pharmacological
intervention.

Two, psychological
susceptibility of subject

through physical breakdown.

Three, conditioning of subject
via triggering of previous trauma.

Four, repetitive arousal through
audio-visual sensory stimuli.

Five, synchronous sedation.

It's from her diary.

The use of LSD,
amatol and amphetamine

produces a disordered
cognitive state -

similar to extreme
sleep deprivation.

Such psychological distress renders
the patient amenable to suggestion.

New beliefs can be embedded
and future behaviour controlled.

Do you see your enemy, Harry?

When you kill the enemy,
the pain will stop.

The therapy carries a risk
of chronic cognitive impairment.

But our research indicates this
may be due to drug withdrawal.

We propose that restoration
of both stimulus and medication

will restore cognitive function.

I don't imagine
this will be easy for you.

You are, after all,
a patriot, like me.

But also, a realist.

I think you knew in your heart

that we would be having
this conversation.

I mean, you knew
this was a trap.

And that if you fell in,

there would come a day
for you to hear the price.

I hoped that we might come to
some sensible agreement.

"Some sensible agreement."

How very English.

Let's start with what you want.

For what you will give me,

I promise to release Dr Lavotchkin
from her duties to the Motherland,

from her obligations
to our service,

and I will guarantee
that her relatives

will be left to the quiet
enjoyment of their lives.

That is what you want, isn't it?

Yes. It is.

You had a chance to purchase that
freedom, but instead you chose violence.

For that, I forgive you.

But now, as you come to me,
already in possession,

the price has gone up.

You will be like Burgess
or Ma clean.

You will send me every secret
that crosses your desk.

As simple as that.

You will betray your country,
and in return,

the woman you love can live
in peace and harmony with you.

And when the day comes,
as it always must,

when you are discovered and
you must flee your homeland,

I will greet you in Moscow.

With a kiss on each cheek
and a medal on your chest,

and you will be a hero.

You'll get a decent apartment,
and you and I can meet and talk,

and drink tea and play chess.

I know this is not what you
looked forward to in your old age,

but it's not so bad, Dalby.

It's better than living your
life with a broken heart.

He asked me, or instructed me,
to do the unthinkable.

And what shocks me is I don't
find it so unthinkable any more.

I tell myself
there's a way out of this.

There always is.

I'm clever,
that's what they say.

I've been doing this for years,
as long as he has.

There is a way out of this.

Yet, because I'm clever, because
I've been doing this for years, I know...

there's no way out.

I'm trapped.

You don't have to decide.

Not now.

You go home. Sleep, rest.

You will think more clearly.

I'm not going home, Polina.

I never imagined
what I'd do for you.

Open wide.

There you go.

- Ready?
- Are you sure this is safe?

Professor Dawson?

I want you to tell me everything
that happened to you.

Everything that happened.

Wha...

General Cathcart.

Sorry to disturb you in
the middle of the night, sir.

I just thought you ought to
know, we have a problem.

They can make you do
whatever they want.
