(HONKING)

MAN 1: Any background
I should know?

MAN 2: Well,
he's American-born,

and his parents died
in a car crash
just after the war.

His only living relation
was a grandmother in Dresden,
East Germany.

That was before
they built the wall.

She took him and raised him
as rebellious as his father.

When she died, he came over.

MAN 1: Do we know how?
MAN 2: Not a clue.

Too bad he has to do this one.

On the contrary,
he's perfect for it.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

MAN: It contains a day-by-day
record of illegal seizures
of torture,

official blackmail and so on.

And I'm gonna read you
some extracts on this
little jam on the air.

But, first, I wanna bring you
up to date

on some important
dissident activity
in the Soviet Union.

Now, Michelle,
I tell you we're clear to do
this story on Sakharov.

-Okay.
-It's gonna take
about five minutes.

-Are we rolling, Bob?
-Ready when you are.

This is Janos, here again,
coming to you
on Free World Radio.

The voice that speaks
the truth.

You may have noticed
in their papers recently,
that I'm being called a thief.

They're saying
I left East Berlin
with certain treasures

belonging to the government
of the Deutschland
Democratic Republic.

Well, my friends, for once,
they speak the truth.

I did, in fact,
leave the country
with certain treasures,

One of which is
a very interesting
and personal diary...

What's the Janos bit?

That's the name
he operated under in Germany.

...it contains a day-by-day
record of illegal seizures

of torture,
of official blackmail

and I'm gonna read
some extracts from this
little gem on the air,

but first I wanna bring you
up to date...

How did he get that kind of
shit on the secret police?

Well, he came out of
East Berlin

with a private file
belonging to Kurt Limmer.

-(INDISTINCT)
-He got it
from Limmer's mistress.

-The Limmer?
-The Limmer.

Jesus.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

-(CAT HISSING ANGRILY)
-Goddamn!

My God,
you won't be satisfied until
you give me a heart attack,

will you, old boy?

-Kind of cold in here, huh?
-(MEOWING)

(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING)

Come on up here, Josh.

Come on up here.

Come on.

-(MEOWING)
-Oh, come on.

Here we go. Whoops!
Come on, you're okay.

(SOFT CREAKING)

(TURNS UP VOLUME)

Getting old.

(CLOSES TAP)

Still wet.

(GRUNTING)

(MUSIC STOPS)

MAN: It's all right,
we're the good guys.

You can tell because
we usually wash our feet
once or twice a week.

(MAN 2 SCOFFS)

We were hoping
you'd come out on top.

You're gonna hope I'm dead
if you don't get your
goddamn hands off my things.

Oh, I was just tidying up.
Seemed so disorderly.

Yeah, well,
you don't live here.

(DIALING)

Hello, police...

(MAN GROANING)

He's not liable
to interrupt us, is he?

Take a look for yourself.

Why don't you see to him.

Gently.

We don't want the French
to think we're taking things
into our own hands.

Hey!

We wanna make you
a proposition.

If I wanted to work
for you guys,

you'd have heard from me
a long time ago.

Well, let me put it this way.

We need you, and, uh,

you need us.

Remember how the Bulgarians
got Georgi Markov
with a poison umbrella?

The next time
Limmer goes for you,

he may not be so obvious.

Yeah. You were a big help
tonight, I noticed.

Well, for an amateur,
you were very impressive.

Would've been a pity
to interfere.

The fee we have in mind
is $200,000.

-You could even afford
a cleaning woman.
-(LAUGHS)

Half now and half later.

$300,000.

I didn't come West
to get rich.

It may be one of the crosses
you'll have to bear.

What we want you to do
is worth a lot to us.

And even more to them.

The price of dissidence.

Now, what if I tell you, Alex,

that five expelled dissidents
in different parts
of the world,

all Russian
and in good health,

were going to die the same day
at exactly the same moment.

Nobody would be able
to put a finger
on how they died.

As a dissident,
how do you read that?

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

Yes, they let over
14,000 go last year.

There's no way
we can protect them all.

But we know that
on Christmas morning,

five of them are going to die
if we don't find
a way to stop it.

It will be a Christmas card
no dissident will ever
be able to forget.

But the catch is,
we don't know which five
or where.

That's where you come in.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

-Bonjour, Monsieur Bodley.
-Bonjour.

WOMAN: (ON PHONE)
Can I help you?

All this trouble
for five people.
I'm impressed.

I don't give a damn
if it's five people or 50.

If the plan succeeds,
it will make us look
like fools

and make them feared
for a generation.

And I care a lot
about that.

You just restored my faith
in the system.

Our one advantage, Alex,
is that what's true
inside the curtain,

is true outside, too.

They only know one way
to function.

Check, record,
document every detail.

It's a religion of paperwork.

And this is the high altar.

The man who's got
the key to this, has the key
to every move they make.

They don't all look like this.

Some are voice-controlled
and small enough
to fit into aircraft.

And some are attached
to large computers.

But this
is the heart of them all.

What is it, a radio?

No, it's a scrambler.

The Germans began it
before World War II.

They called it
the Enigma machine.

But the silicon chip
has made it
a different animal.

And it jumbles
the original message so much

that without a similar circuit
at the other end,

you can spend six months
of computer time trying
to decipher one message

and still get it wrong.

But that's only a mock-up.

What's it got to do with me?

Well, we want you to steal
a real one and bring it back
before December 25th.

Bruno?

This way.

I think he has some news
about your father.

-Hi, Karen.
-Hi.

-Hi, Karen.
-Hi.

It's probably over-emotional.
We'll have to edit it.

I'm not worried about that
as long as the legal citations
are absolutely correct.

They are.

Bruno told me you had news
about my father.

They moved him to a hospital
outside Berlin.

-We're circulating
what has happened, but...
-I'm not going to let him rot.

Neither are we, Karen.

But help us, don't push it.
Stay out of trouble.

BODLEY: Someone
you left behind?

She may be the main reason
I'm going back.

Her father was a great teacher
but he had a bad habit
of telling the truth

so they put him away.

These are some of his papers,
and, uh, you know,

if I get lost over there,
I want you to make sure
they get published.

Even if you have to hire
a professional writer
to polish them up, okay?

It's about time you showed up.

Well, sorry, Professor.

Associate Professor.

Now, look,
I've taped 16 shows,
and I mention the holidays,

so, make sure
they're played in order.

Hmm, the professional.

Well, we better take a walk.
You got 10 minutes, and these
walls are most unreliable.

Now, listen to me. These tapes
are very carefully marked.

If you screw up,
I hope they drop the bomb
in your living room.

Oh, don't worry.
The whole world will think
you're sick in Paris.

I'm not worried
about the whole world.

I'm worried about all
the smiling travel agents
at the other end of the line.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

MAN: Stupid.

Well, I saw you standing there
and I wanted to get in
before you dragged me out.

-What's up?
-Remember Janos?

He's coming home.

-(MAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER P.A.)
- Pardon, monsieur.

We know of, uh,
four machines not directly
under Russian army control.

Two in the Russian Embassy.

And one in
the Cultural Relations Office.

Do you know it?
In the Centra Building.

Yeah, I know it.

And the other one is in
the MiG at the
Russian Air Attache.

It's kept under East German
guard at a civil airfield.

(SIGHS) Oh, for Christ's sake.

Oh, come on, you know your way
around East Berlin.

(SCOFFS)

With the balls you've got,

the hard part won't be
getting it.

It will be convincing them
that nothing's been taken.

Yeah, sure.

I just wave my balls around
like a magic wand,
and it falls in my hand.

Then what?

These grids are highly
sensitive to the power input.

If you can short-circuit
the main power course,

it will burn
right through the lot.

And they'll end up
with something like this.

You take the good one out
and put this one in its place.

And burn out the whole system.
They'll never know.

And I always thought they were
kidding when they said
chocolates were bad for you.

-Excusez-moi, monsieur. Merci.
-Pardon.

I never said it would be easy.

-What else?
-Carry that at the station.

And you'll be approached
by a woman
with a similar chocolate box.

If, for some reason,
you miss that contact,

you go to the restaurant
Schiller at 7:00,
the day after tomorrow.

-(WHISTLE BLOWING)
-Au revoir.

(HORN BLOWING)

What do you think
could bring him back?

I don't know, but those
great American idealists
in the Pentagon

have made a standing offer of
a million dollars to anybody
who defects with a MiG-25.

Maybe he's been sent to give
someone the final nudge,
but don't count on that.

-Do the East Germans know?
-No, no, and don't let them.

They've been getting
a bit touchy about protocol,
so, if you need their help,

you may have to butter them up
a bit, but restrain them.

I want that cold dog to be
in sufficient health
to tell us what he's after.

How are things going?

Fine, fine.

God!

That son of a bitch,
he's on to something.

They've given him a Zim
and a chauffeur.

-Female?
-No.

Listen, you get Janos,
I get the chauffeur.

And you'll get a new clerk,
female, that's a promise.

You miss him,
I'm telling you, we'll both
be taking that tram to work.

Who's the chief rat catcher
around here?

Well, Joseph Burseby,
but he's played cat and mouse
with a lot of people,

left a string of empty traps.

Just watch me. I'll get him.

(DISTANT TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

(HORN BLOWING)

WOMAN: (OVER P.A.)
All passengers have to have
their passports stamped.

I don't know
what's going on there.

They just wanna check
everybody's papers.

Show your passports, okay?

Coming through. Excuse me.

(TOILET FLUSHING)

(COUGHING)

Everybody from
the Chicago-Dresden tour,
now, listen to me.

We're gonna go through
the customs, okay?

Watch your backs, please,
coming through.

Excuse me, madam,
danke schon , Comrade,
I'll owe you one.

Number 18 here.

Number 18 here, please.

Coming through, excuse me.

Herr Limmer.

This isn't a mousetrap,
it's a barnyard.

Well, the peasant genius.

And if they've sent you,
some man at the Kremlin
must think it's important.

Limmer, we didn't know
you were expecting him, too.

No, well, fortunately,

we're not solely dependent
on Russian security
for all our information.

We actually wanted
to handle it quietly.

At least, until we find out
what it is he's after,

but then, perhaps this is just
to impress the tourists with
what a friendly place this is.

Oh, don't worry,
we'll find out
what he was after.

-You're sure
he's on that train?
-Quite sure.

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

Follow me, please.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

It's the brown suitcase.

-Ah.
-And, my wife's
is the next one. Yes.

Oh, no. No, thank you.
You know the rules
about tipping.

(FLUSHING)

Take them away.

Apprehend every porter.
I'll check the locker room.

If I were you,
I'd seal the station
and check everyone.

Soldier, over here!
Come on!

MAN: Room for one more.

Uh, here.
Uh, excuse me, please.
Thank you.

(WHIMPERING)

Oh, very scientific, Limmer.

A particular science
we learned
from the KGB.

Since she's still alive,
I take it she said something.

You were pursuing Holbeck.

Now, when we've questioned
him, we'll accede to your
reading the transcript.

But, by that time,
I hope we'll be in receipt
of an official request

to admit you to the case.

Hirsch.

Are you suggesting that
the comrade...

I'm suggesting that possession
of a certain literature

is not necessarily
an act of defiance
against the State.

It's more a matter
of intellectual curiosity.

And a measure of
the need for independence
we all held at that age.

Defense council is right,
the feelings are normal.

But the test of citizenship
is one's willingness

to subject them
to the good of all.

Something the defendant
had better learn
sooner than later.

Six months.

-Thank you.
-I'm sorry.

Heinrich Allender.

The State versus
Heinrich Allender
and Maria Stonefeld.

LAWYER: The charge is
drunken disorderly and
resisting arrest, Your Honor.

(FADING) At 3 p.m.
on November 18th,

the defendant was apprehended
by patrolman Hankau

in the middle
of Boulevard Fredricksen

after a collision between
a tram and military truck.

Both drivers allege that
the defendant was wandering

in and out of heavy traffic...
(FADING OUT)

Are you insane?

-I wanted to see you.
-(SCOFFS)

Oh, come on,
we've done more dangerous
things than this.

A lot of people may
recognize the voice,

but only old friends
know the face.

What do you want?

I need a safe house
for 24 hours.

Are you working
for the Americans,
or is this just you?

I can't tell you.

It's the same place.

I'll be there after 5:00.

Okay.

Thank you.

LAWYER: ...wandering
in and out of heavy traffic.
(FADING OUT)

-Dimitri!
-(BOTH LAUGH)

-Hey!
-Come up.
Our office is up here.

-Hey, Konstantin.
-(STAFF TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

-It's good to see you.
-This way.

You look great, eh.
You haven't changed. (LAUGHS)

In here.

One problem is that
no one on our side has ever
seen him face-to-face.

But I can tell you this,

the East Germans are getting
more sensitive and independent
every day.

-And this one they want badly.
-Me, too.

Listen,

I wanna hear
all his broadcasts,
as many as you've got taped.

And get together
every bit of gossip
you can find about him.

Well, this is the only picture
we have of him.

Did he give away his own name,
or did they finally find it?

Well, once Janos
started broadcasting
from Free World Radio,

they recognized his voice.

He'd been
a state radio announcer on
the current affairs channel.

-Lived alone?
-Not very often.

Just give me a moment.

I'm still not much
of a hausfrau .

-That depends on what you want
a hausfrau for.
-Hmm.

(ENGINE STARTING)

-It's all right. I made sure
I wasn't being followed.
-(VEHICLE MOVING)

I'm not sure
they aren't following me.

Why?

(VACUUM CLEANER RUNNING)

-What are you doing here?
-I was homesick.

(LAUGHS)

You haven't changed much.
Still throwing things at me.

Uh...

I missed you.

You left me
before you left Berlin.

And you haven't come back
for me.

Maybe not.

I can't tell you
what I'm doing back here now,
but, I know you'd approve.

I wrote to you.

It was hand-carried to Vienna.

Oh, yeah. About your father.

Not the next broadcast,
but the one after.

So, you are going back.

Yeah, but not right away.

I, um...

I'm meeting somebody
tomorrow night
who's gonna help me.

I don't wanna put you
in any danger, but,
I have wanted to see you.

Hmm, and several others.

No.

I'm really glad I came.

(TURNS VACUUM CLEANER OFF)

Waiting for someone?

Just come quietly.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

POLICEMAN: Stop!
(WHISTLING) Stop!

(SIREN WAILING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Get in the car.

I want this whole area
sealed off.

I don't want a cat
or a mouse to get in or out.
You know what to do. Proceed.

Stop! Stop! Look,
that man is running away.

Quick, after him!

(DOG BARKING)

-Anything?
Try to seal it off again.
-No.

Okay.

LIMMER: He's got
to be somewhere.

I want a bigger circle.
Spread the men.

MAN: Turn these buildings
inside out.

-MAN 2: Post a man in
the warehouse round the back.
-Yes, sir.

LIMMER: You, come with me.

(SIREN BLARING)

KAREN: They knew you were
coming back to Berlin.

When I got home,
Margaret was here.

She sleeps with a Russian
from the Embassy.

-Does she count that as moving
up in the world or down?
-Shut up.

She said they sent
a KGB man from Moscow
especially for you.

Did she say who it was?

I couldn't be too curious.

But she said
he's supposed to be the best.

Dimitri somebody.

He's young, goes to
the Sports Palace every day.

-Dimitri?
-Vasilikov.

My God,
how do the Russians know, too?

I'm gonna have to find
another place.

With Margaret dropping by,
who knows who'll be next.

I want to help.
Whatever it is.

-No.
-Risk it.

Admit you need someone.

One danger at a time, please.

Hey, don't worry about me.
I've got friends in places
you wouldn't dream.

WOMAN: (CRYING) Oh, God
damn you!

Don't push me.

-Don't push me,
you little shit!
-Shut up. Get in.

(POLICE CAR LEAVING)

-No...
-Quiet! Quiet!

Just relax, please.

They've been here already.
They'll come back again.

All right, listen, Yuri,
you gotta help me.
I need a place to stay.

They know who you are, Alex.

It's not like before.
You're crazy. Crazy!

-Relax.
-(DISTANT POLICE SIREN)

Alex.

You were doing so much good
with the broadcast.

Why did you come back?

(DOOR CLOSING)

-(INAUDIBLE)
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Comrade Vasilikov.

Good of you to see me,
Minister.

I was given
the courtesy of an audience

at the Russian Embassy
this morning

I was told of your great
concern about this...
This man, Holbeck.

Now, as you know,
we hold firmly to the general
principle of non-intervention

in the internal affairs
of other nations...

Can I have some sugar?

Minister...

Comrade Limmer has had
two opportunities
of capturing this man.

And despite a massive display
of force in each instance,

the man escaped.

Now, this is what concerns
our ambassador.

Minister,

if you are
prepared to grant me
supervision of this case,

I will promise not to bring in
any other personnel,
and, furthermore,

when Holbeck is captured,
he'll be turned over to you

as soon as we've finished
questioning him.

It would seem a crime

to jeopardize
the long friendship
between our two nations

over the rather trivial issue
of Comrade Limmer's
competence.

I did enjoy our coffee.

Thank you both.

-(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)
-(DOOR CLOSING)

Just find out.

-Find out
why he would come back.
-Again.

(ZAPPING)

(SOFT CREAKING)

What are you looking for?

WOMAN: Take it off.

Or we will.

The rest.

-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
-(LOCK CLICKING)

I would like to ask you again

what you know about
Alexander Holbeck.

(CLICKING)

(WHIRRING)

Anything?

Nothing. Well, perhaps,
we picked the wrong man.

Ah, you could've never
given it to a regular.

Why don't they clean
around here?
What's wrong with this place?

What the hell is he doing?

(SIREN BLARING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(SOFT CLICKING)

-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING AGAIN)
-(DOOR OPENING)

(GATE OPENING)

(AIRPLANE ENGINE WARMING UP)

I want fewer guards, not more.

And I want every MiG available
out on the tarmac.

-I will not take
the responsibility...
-I will.

You've got to offer him
the right bait or he'll never
come out of his hole.

Make sure
none of those MiGs can fly.
You're missing a hairpin.

(RETCHING)

(VOMITING)

ALEX: (ON RADIO) Professor
Reinhardt is also a man
whose first belief

was in the dignity
of human life.

No man should
have to grovel for food,
for work, for justice.

But, like many honest men,
he, too, could be deceived
by men who use words

as sneak thieves
use the cover of night.

They count it
their achievement
to have stolen him from us,

to have put him away.

But his life
has already proved the truth
about human dignity.

And their acts have proved
why it is worth fighting for.

Until next time, this is Janos
on Free World Radio.

The voice
that speaks the truth.
Auf wiedersehen.

So, what's the good
Mr. Limmer found?

Not a pimple out of place.

He pulled in a lot of people,
but he found damn all.

What I do think you should
know is that he's got
a camera in your office.

-Has he?
-And he's using two lists,
his own and yours.

-We're assigned to his.
-Poor Limmer.

He's got two enemies.
The Cowboy and the Cossack.

I think
I ought to let him know
just who's the more dangerous.

Everybody take coffee. Now.

Move!

Am I to be told
what all this is about?

Well, we thought she was
a lead. She was someone he
knew once. We were wrong.

I question all leads first.

You'll end up
on a pig farm hauling shit
with your delicate hands

if you cross me again.

And next time you're tempted
to play red fox,

you play this film
back in your office.

-(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)
-(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT)

(JACKHAMMER HAMMERING)

-What's the matter?
Something happened?
-No.

I heard your broadcast.
Thanks.

-Nah, you're just
very partial on that subject.
-(SCOFFS)

Karen, I hate to push you,
but I need some help.

If it's against them,
you don't even
have to ask.

Is there anyone you know
we can trust?

A few. Students of my father.

Are they watching
your apartment?

Not anymore.

Midnight, then.

-(VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRING)
-(INAUDIBLE)

I'm not talking about...

What did she look like?

I want to be the one.

I have the right
to be the one.

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING IN GERMAN)

You know,
it's really great in here.

Yeah, just like water.

Seems strange they'd let you
go on an open permit.

Labor is scarce right now.

Well, I'm not very fast,
you know.

But I'm strong enough.
Feel that arm.

All right, but I warn you.
Any trouble,
and it goes on your record.

I'll take you
to the warehouse.
They'll tell you what to do.

My car's just over there.

I'll tell you what,

I'll race you to see
which of us
can swim there first. Hmm?

Well, you're right,
I'd probably cheat, anyway.

I'll tell you what I'll do,
I'll bring the car over here

and you won't even
have to get your hair wet,
all right?

All right?

Thank you.

If I start thinking about you,
I won't be able to do it.

What's he like?

Unsophisticated but shrewd.
Very sure of himself.

Is he gonna pick you up here?

I said we'd meet at the pool.
I don't want him here.

-If I'm gonna whore,
I'm not gonna whore here.
-You don't have to whore.

Look, we'll get somebody else.

No, it's not that easy.

Can't you just,
you know, lead him on?

I'm gonna do what's necessary.

(LOUD CHEERING)

-(ALL LAUGHING)
-I'll take you next time.

-Everybody, drinks on me.
-He's crazy.

-This German beer
is not as strong as vodka.
-(LAUGHING)

Problem is, you need
some stronger opposition
at arm wrestling.

Who is he, anyway?

Oh, he works...

...where I work.

Where's that?

Except the fact that
you swim and arm-wrestle,
I don't know much about you.

I'm a Cultural Affairs
Officer.

Oh, really? (LAUGHS)

More or less, really.

I didn't know
Cultural Affairs Officers
were so strong.

Russian ones are.

Oh.

It's not the beer, you know,
it's you.

I get dizzy and I feel
the whole world
is where you are.

You better go back to vodka.

I tell you true.

I wanted you because I saw you
in a bathing costume.

Now,

three days later,

if you told me I could
only see your eyes,
nothing more ever,

I would say
it doesn't matter to me.

It doesn't matter to me.

It doesn't matter at all.

He can't just have disappeared
in the middle of Berlin.

In any big city,
you can disappear.

Now, doing something's
a different matter.

We don't want him
to do something.

The pressure we applied
would cost us plenty
if he outsmarts you. Look...

Don't you think you can just
wipe it off as a failed case?

-Neither of us can.
-Look, I know him.

He'll make his move his way
and I'll get him.

Now,
waiting is the difficult part.

But I've got everything
vital in this city covered.

But you haven't found him!
You don't know
what he's here for.

He'll tell me
what he's here for.

-Bullshit!
-He will!

He'll have come on
as a different guy.
Maybe two guys.

I've studied him.
He's a chameleon,
that's why we can't find him.

But it will start
with a woman.

Someone close
to a leading official,
and, believe me,

I've got them all covered.
There's not one affair
in this town that I...

What is it?

I've got him.

The address is
11, Friedrichstrasse.

Age, between 27 and 30.
About 5'6".

She claimed to be
a school teacher,
temporarily unassigned.

And, Konstantin,

on no account is there to be
any hint of an investigation,
even if it takes a week.

Nothing.

But the minute you know,

I want to know.

Do they have Christmas trees
in Russia?

Of course
they have Christmas trees.

And presents?

Presents on Twelfth Nights.

My mother told me
never to trust a Russian.
(LAUGHS)

We have giant Christmas trees.

And on January the 6th,
Grandfather Frost
comes with ice skates,

and sleds and dolls.

Something for everyone
except for cynical girls
who don't believe.

Even during Stalin's time?

Did the Germans had Christmas
even during Hitler's time?

People get warped ideas
about each other.

You know, where I come from,
they always used to talk
about German women.

Rhinemaidens everywhere
luring men to distraction.

I must be careful
not to lure you into anything.

They say the Russian
that comes to Germany
loses his head or his heart.

Either way, fatal.

My grandparents
were peasants.
And my parents.

And if it wasn't
for the Revolution,
I'd have been one, too.

You're not that old.

I come from a collective farm,
and I won a scholarship.

Well, your peasant's heart
learned all the evils
of the past.

And pretended not to see
the evils of the present.

Maybe there is evil today.

But it isn't like it was.

Now, it's only the stupid
and the blind

who think there isn't as much
evil around the corner
or over the wall.

Or across the sea.

(CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING)

December 17th.

Only eight days left
and not a bloody word.

Is there anything more
we could do?

Not without
risking everything.

-Could I go in?
-No.

No regular man can.

Turn that thing off.

Listen, Bruno thinks he can
get us some help.
But, I'm running out of time.

I need to know what our
Russian friend is planning.

He wants me
to move in with him.

I'm not asking you
to go that far.

I've already gone that far.

I had to. He's not a fool.

I couldn't play with him
and keep his confidence.

If I...(CLEARS THROAT)

If I could, uh, get something,

you know, concrete,
by December 20th,

is that possible?

Yes.

-Alex...
-I have to get back
to work now.

I'm sure it was the only way.

-(PHONE RINGING)
-VASILIKOV: I'll have
you moved in

by the time you find
the soup bowls.
You even get the top drawer.

Vasilikov.

Her real name is Reinhardt.
She was Holbeck's girl
for over two years.

Her father's
a leading dissenter.

He's in
a psychiatric hospital.

She's a lawyer
in a Magistrate's Court.
I'm sorry.

Bad news?

You know the old expression,

"Lucky in love
when lucky in work."

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

We've been waiting for you.
What are you gonna do?

Listen, we need your decisions
and we need them now.
This is most urgent.

Why should we
take that kind of risk
without knowing what it's for?

Because if I tell you,
and just one person
gets caught,

it'll all be for nothing.

Wait.

And, uh...

Uh, of course, our Lord
demonstrated not only
his approval of matrimony

-but also his approval
of good wine.
-(ALL LAUGHING)

-To the bride and groom.
-Bride and groom.

ALL: Cheers.

-Are they gone?
-Yes.

Does Karen know what it's for?

(SIGHING)

No, not all of it.

I'm the only one that does.

Is it for the Americans?

We know how they were
going to make the world safe
for human rights.

But you know me,
and you know you can trust me.

And if we won't?

Then, I'll just have to try it
on my own immediately.
It's too important.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, some of this,
it has come from
the Copenhagen exhibit.

It will go directly to today.

We'll check it in the morning.

-How are they doing?
-Quite good.

Okay.

Why be so subtle?

If she knows what he's after,
I'll bet we could find out
in half a day.

No!

Look, if she doesn't know,
we've lost the contact.

She gets more nervous
every day.

About the only thing
she's reacted to at all,

and then I'm not sure,
is the mention of MiGs.

Well, if you risk that,

you better have
all your tracks covered.

Don't worry, I'll set a trap
he'll never escape.

-MAN: Alex, I'm a genius, no?
-(KNOCKING ON WINDOW)

Ah, so,
this is Comrade Reinhardt.

Well, Alex, the West hasn't
corrupted all your senses.

Quickly.

(DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING)

He's the only friend I got
no one knows about.

I think I have what you want.

All military units are taking
part in the parade, Sunday.

It's supposed to be accounted
to Christmas.

-Did he tell you that?
-No.

I found it in his papers.

Sunday's the 22nd.
That's when we'll do it.

If that's all you want...

Let me leave him now.

No, no, not yet.

You can't.
It would spoil everything.

He'll probably get called out
early on Sunday.

So, after he leaves,
I want you to go
to the Folk Museum.

Girth will meet you there.
I'll be along later.

And, uh, you're gonna
have to come West with me,
whether you want to or not.

What about my father?

Well, if we make enough noise,
there's a good chance
they'll deport him.

And we'll make enough noise.
I promise you.

I want to hate him.

I want to.

But, there's something
inside me, he's...

...taking hold of.

We followed her
to her hairdresser's.

She was inside
for half an hour.

We ran the check.

Her fingerprints
are all over the papers
about Sunday's parade.

Bodley said he'd have those
five names a week ago.

-He's been trying.
-Well, you gentlemen
aren't paid for trying.

The Secretary of State
wants that information.

He doesn't wanna have to plead
with military intelligence
to get it.

The Russians have stopped
using their signal machine.

They have reason to believe
that we have their scrambler.

Well, who the hell
let that out?

I don't know,
somebody got overeager.

Now, we've gotta save
those five people.

Don't worry, when they start
transmitting again,
we'll get the names.

Bodley sent a guy in
to get a Russian scrambler
from a station in East Berlin.

We've already got a scrambler.
What we want is to...

Now, wait, you mean,
someone is going to
try to steal one

to convince them
we haven't got it?

That's it.

That's a pretty delicate
piece of footwork.

Not really.
Our guy doesn't know that
we already have the scrambler.

And he doesn't know
that we set him up with
the Russians and East Germans.

Is he one of your own agents?

No, he's a defector.
He's been working
for Free World Radio.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)
God, I hate this business.

Well, when he makes his move
we'll get him.

And you'll get your names.

I'd better.

-I'm told you have him.
-Not quite correct.

But, I believe he's going
to try and take a MiG 25
on Sunday.

Is that...

...possible?

There was only to be
a token force on duty.

We have to lure him
into the trap.

Now, all the troops must
leave the field as planned.

But I want you to bring in
two companies of paratroopers
from Meissen.

Undercover, no orders issued.

And they'll stand by on every
building on the field,

and then Limmer will line
the route to the field
with security police.

For one man?

For one man.

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

(INAUDIBLE)

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)
(MAN SPEAKING ON TELEVISION)

Are you leaving so early?

Mmm-hmm.

When you've just shaved
and your hair is combed tight
like that,

I could believe
you're a peasant.

When I leave,
you must get dressed.

There are two
security policemen
waiting for you outside.

If it wasn't all a game...

I'm sorry it ended this way.

(TV ANNOUNCER SPEAKING GERMAN)

I'll be in the car.
Give me a radio check

-every 10 minutes.
-Yes, Comrade.

(TV ANNOUNCER
CONTINUES SPEAKING)

I just heard Karen's been
taken by the Security Police.

I know. We gotta keep moving.

Put those bottles in the box.

-(RADIO ANNOUNCER SPEAKING)
-The parade's half-over.

What the hell else
can he have been after?

-(STATIC)
-LIMMER: (ON RADIO) 17...

Come in, 17.

-This is 17, what's happening?
-Limmer here.

We have a report
that students are attacking
the Soviet Embassy.

Do you hear me, Vasilikov?

Yes, how many?
And what sort of protection
do they have?

Except for two clerks
and two security men,

they say all embassy staff
are either in the parade
or on the viewing stands.

Well, what about your men?

They are either on the airport
or covering the parade.
I don't have an army!

There are four ordinary
policemen on duty for all
the embassies this morning.

That's it?

He's after the signal system,
the scrambler.
Move! The embassy!

They were wrong,
they never had the damn thing
after all.

(SIREN BLARING)

Limmer, pull out your men
from the airport.
Get them back on the embassy.

Seal off the entire section.
No traffic, no pedestrians.
Nothing moves through it.

-Paratroopers?
-They stay at the airport,
and, by God, they stay alert.

(MOB CHEERING)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(CROWD SCREAMING)

VASILIKOV: Stop those two.
Hold them!

-Have they been
in the communications room?
-Never, it's locked.

-Andrei would blow it first.
-Take care of those two.

(SIREN BLARING)

-Hey, where's the fire?
-What?

Look, one of you people
called in a fire,
so there had better be one.

Come with me.

-What's the matter?
-There's a fire.

You go outside
and give him a hand.
I'll look around.

Let's go.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Look!

Stay here. Keep everyone out.
I'll get the other guards.

Hey!

Get outside and keep everyone
away from the building.
We gotta shut off the gas.

Go on, move!

What a brilliant operation.

And so economical of manpower.

I'm sure that I could never
have managed it on my own.

Take them downstairs.

VASILIKOV: It has to be
something else.

It has to be something other
than a student demonstration.

Check the airport again.
Check with your headquarters.

Of course.

Vasilikov!

There's nothing,
the city's quiet.

There's a small fire burning
in the Centra Building.

But the police have
no report of it yet.

(ALARM BEEPING)

Okay, Bruno, now!

(ZAPPING)

He knew I was on to her.

Knew I expected him
to plant her.

He's played me
like a trained bear.

Let's go downstairs,
I got one more job.

(SIREN BLARING)

Come on, quicker than that.

Get back. Get back, there.
Get back.

Stop anyone who comes out.
Anyone.

I wouldn't go in there.
The gas hasn't been
turned off yet.

Don't worry about me.

Ask these two.
They were the first ones
to get here.

Hey, you!

Come here.

Come here, move it.

Open the box.

Come on, open it.

Turn around, spread it.

Come here. Turn around.

Hey, what are you doing
to my man?

We have a fire here.
What the hell...

That's not my man.

-Stop that man.
-No! Go!

(GRUNTING)

VASILIKOV: Get out of the way.
Move!

Pass! Let us through.
Get out of the way! Come on!

Don't be a fool.

KONSTANTIN:
They outsmarted themselves.

By starting the fires,
they burned out the circuitry.

By the time they got it open
it was useless.

I wonder if it's not just
another decoy...

What was he after?
What did he really get?

It was something in his eyes,
he...

He hated me, but it was...

It was as though he'd won.

Comrade, I don't think
this is our circuitry.

What do you mean?

It's close, but the pattern
is just not right.

It's not our scrambler.

Contact Limmer.

All the checks have got to be
tightened now.

The airport, the station,
the roads, the lot.

He'll be trying to move
before we do.

I have one idea. One.

MAN: She was a violent
patient, do you understand?

It was necessary to calm her.

She was a ward of court.

The instructions
were quite clear.

-There is someone else...
-It's always someone else.

If you stop calming her,

how soon can I talk to her?

With luck, 24 hours.

Of course, there would
still be areas where...

As a favor, you try.

We are always willing
to cooperate.

How long is she in for?

Indefinitely.

Thanks, Yuri.
Now, what about
the security passes?

Your name
is Heinrich Oxberger.

The cab will be
at the same place
at the same time.

Okay.

I better run.
You know what to do with this.

Say, you know, uh...

I might not see you again.

If I get drunk enough,
I'll pray for you.

Well, it's two hours
late already.
We can't keep this up forever.

You should see what's going on
at the airport.

It's worth a try.
Uh, you stay close
to our colleague.

Uh, good evening, Fraulein.

My name is Oxberger,
from security.

And there's an emergency
investigation in progress,

so I'll need to look at
the admission records from
the last three days, please.

-I'm not authorized.
-Well, who is?

You'd have to see
the duty doctor.

-Will you go and get him,
then, please?
-Yes, sir.

-Thank you. I'll wait here.
-Yes.

Reinhardt. Here.
Karen Reinhardt, got it.

Karen.

(SOFTLY) Karen...

(CRYING)

Hold me. Please, hold me.

Come on, we gotta go now.

No.

-I can't go.
-No, no, it's okay.

-I can't.
-Yes, you can.

You see, it's official,
I'm in charge now. Okay?

Come on, let's go.
It's all right.

-Alex...
-Yes, it's me, Alex.

But it's all right.
It's all right, love.

Come on, we gotta go now.
Come on.

-No...
-No, it's okay, come on.

No, no. I'm the doctor.
Come on. Karen,
no, it's all right.

She's innocent!

-You're taking her!
-No, no, everything's okay.

Now, cold.

Hang on.

Now, hot.

Now, cold.

Stay with it.

Now, hot.

Doctor, can I have
your attention?

-The Reinhardt patient
is missing.
-Can't you see we are busy?

-Some have locked
each other in, maybe.
-No.

She may be downstairs.
Some of them ran there.

They're opening doors
on the second floor.

Well, leave them
to the orderlies.
You two, come with me.

I thought you were in jail
or gone forever.

Can't get rid of me
that easy.

Besides, the way I live,
you never know,
I might need a lawyer someday.

(PATIENT LAUGHING
IN THE DISTANCE)

I love you.

I never realized how much
till I saw you upstairs.

(ALARM CONTINUES RINGING)

MAN: Down here.
Come on, come on.

Split up. You go that way.

What are you doing here?

Let me through.

I insist on being...
Have you any idea
who I am?

I said stop this.
Get that thing off me!

Let me go!
You'll be in great trouble.

I assure you,
you'll be in great trouble.
Let me go!

(SCREAMING) Let me out!

No! (SCREAMING)

What?

Canarsky's arriving
in a few hours.

You're officially relieved
of duty as of noon.

In the interim,
you shall make your apologies
to the Ministry of Security.

And Limmer, if he shows up.

The worst of it is

I still don't know
how he did it.

KONSTANTIN: I don't think
those students can tell.

I doubt if Janos
told them anything.

Look, at least you can
be satisfied it didn't happen
over something trivial.

Yes, one shipment.

We have an exhibit opening,
in Zurich, the 28th.

It's been boarded
this morning.

All right, come with us.

But... What the...

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING IN GERMAN
OVER P.A.)

Listen, I hope someone
is gonna pay dearly for this.

Don't worry. Someone will.

WOMAN: (OVER P.A.)
The train for Zurich
is delayed by 20 minutes.

Dimitri.

That's new.

-Give me the knife.
-MAN: What are you doing?

Stop it. Stop it!

You haven't got the right
to do that.

Russian barbarians!

Just a minute.

Put your bags
back on the table.

What's this all about?
We just went through customs.

We're Americans, you know.

Passports.

Open them.

What is this?

Souvenir.

Twenty-four marks.
Incredible. A steal.

Looks like an original.

You know, you take this into
any art gallery,

you could substitute this one

for this one,

and no one would ever know.

Couldn't you?

And you intended to go
from Budapest to Zurich?

To the victor the spoils.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

You have to leave this behind.
It requires a permit.

You'd better catch your train.

I think these two go together.

Merry Christmas.
