Bless you, Father, for
coming on such short notice,

but I don't think Mrs.
Malinoff has too much longer.

And I know she'd
want to see a priest.

Of course, she'll probably
want to see a Russian Orthodox

priest, but there just aren't
in the neighborhood anymore.

She's certainly lucky to
have you for a neighbor.

Well, she and I have
been friends for 40 years,

ever since she first
came over from Germany.

I thought you said
she was from Russia?

She was indeed, but when
the Nazis first invaded Russia

in the Great War,
they bundled her

and half the village off
to work as slave labor.

She had a little baby boy
that she managed to send off

to neighbors, but she
never saw the little fellow

again or her husband either.

It broke her heart
losing that little boy.

She never got over it.

Well, maybe she'll find
some peace at last.

I'll go see if she's awake.

Father, she's awake now.

Thank you very much.

Father, she's not
too lucid, poor thing.

She thinks you're an angel.

Oh, does she?

Aye, she does that.

She says she's been laying
there praying for some angel

to come and grant her
one wish before she dies

and she's convinced you're it.

Well, thank you
for telling me that.

Father, I know would be
stretching the rules and all,

but maybe just this once would
you forget you're a priest

and be her angel, just
sort of play along?

Don't you worry, Rosamay.

What did you just call me?

Rosamay.

Why, no one ever
called me that in my life

except my late husband.

I know.

Excuse me.

Hello, Maria.

I'm Jonathan.

I knew you would come.

I knew it.

You had faith.

I know there is a plan.

I have never understood it,
but I know there is a plan.

That things happen the
way they do for a reason.

I have never questioned that,
but if I could see him once

again on this Earth,
if I could just

know he was all right, if I
could know what kind of a man

he grew to be, and if
I could just tel him--

Tell him what?

That I love him.

That I have never stopped
loving him, he should know that.

Even now.

Even now as a grown man,
he should know that.

Yes, he should.

I have never been able
to give him anything.

I would like to be able to
give him this before I die.

I want him to know that no
matter what has happened

to him in this life, no matter
what kind of man he grew to be,

he has a mama and she loves him.

Can you help me, Jonathan?

Help me give him this gift?

I'll try, Maria.

I'll try.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mrs. Murphy?

Oh, how is she?

She's resting now.

Did she, uh, did
she say she thought

you were some kind of an angel?

Yes, she did.

And, um, did you
ask her to grant

her one kind of last wish?

Yes, she did.

Oh my, the poor thing.

What you going to do?

Do my best to grant her wish.

What?

I have to go now.

Goodbye, Mrs. Murphy.

Father?

Yes?

How do you know my
husband called me Rosamay?

No one knew that but me.

He told me, just
the other day.

I think you've bit off
more we can chew this time.

I think you're
going to have to go

all the way to the
premier of Russia

to spring this woman's kid.

Well, then that's
what we'll do.

What do you mean we?

I don't want to go to Russia.

It's cold over there.

Maybe we won't have
to go quite that far.

RADIO ANNOUNCER: And
in the news tonight,

Andrey Karpovich, Deputy
Premier of the Soviet Union,

has just landed at
Andrews Air Force base.

After consultations
at the Soviet embassy,

Karpovich and his entourage,
will head for the latest round

of summit talks with
the president to be

held in a secret location.

As soon as we get to a
freeway entrance, head east.

Where we going?

To the secret location.

Get out of the car with
you hands on your head.

This is a restricted area.

What are you doing here?

Ask him.

I asked you.

What will I tell him?

Tell him the truth.

It better be the truth.

The truth?

The truth.

Tell him the truth.

OK.

He's an angel.

All right, let them through.

Let's go.

I cannot believe it.

What kind of security
you call that?

All I do is tell them
you're an angel, right,

and it's open sesame.

I don't believe it.

That was the password.

What?

He's an angel.

That was the password.

You should have
told me sooner.

I could have saved
a pair of shorts.

Keep the sauces
light, you understand?

You just run the
staff, Mrs. Butler,

and let me take
care of the sauces.

I've cooked for heads
of state before.

And I'm a chef,
not a politician.

Now listen here,
you petty pipsqueak,

these instructions are coming
from the Secretary himself.

Deputy Premier Karpovich
has a delicate stomach.

If he gets indigestion
from your sauces,

then he gets in a bad
mood, and then arms control

go right out the window.

So if you want to
avoid World War III,

you just keep
those sauces light.

Oh.

Mrs. Butler?

Yes?

I'm Jonathan Smith.

This is Mark Gordon.

We were told to report to you.

Oh, Smith and Gordon.

Well, thank heavens
you've arrived.

You're a real Godsend.

Ain't it the truth?

It was very good of the White
House to put the two of you

on loan to us.

Now your duties here
will be much the same

as what you're used to.

Nothing to be nervous about.

You're just glorified
room service waiters.

Sounds simple enough.

Well, you'll find your
clothes in the locker room,

and of course, I'm sure I
don't have to remind you

that whatever political
opinions you have,

you'll keep to yourselves.

The Russkies will love us.

The Russkies?

He's kidding, right?

Tell me he's kidding.

In fact, don't tell me.

If he's not kidding,
I don't want to know.

Follow me.

Admiral, my job is to advise
the president and the secretary

and my advice in
this negotiation

is going to be very simple.

Four words, don't
trust the Russians.

Hey, now you're talking.

Mark.

The world is just as dangerous
for them as it is for us.

We may both have
to learn to trust

each other in order to survive.

What a crock.

Would you be quiet, please?

No, no, let him talk.

Never thought I would live to
see the day when a waiter made

more sense than a Navy Admiral.

Look, I didn't mean to--

I never thought I would
see the day when the two most

powerful nations
on Earth would put

their fate in the
hands of computers

instead of human beings.

That's exactly what we're headed
for if we don't watch out.

Ask your newfound expert
how he feels about that.

What do you feel about that?
- What?

Me?
No.

Look, I--

What do you ask him for?

He's just a waiter.

That's right.

I'm just a waiter.

According to you, he makes
more sense than a Navy Admiral.

Oh, he didn't mean that.

He was just mouthing off.

What?

Excuse us.

Mark, we have a lot of
work to take care of.

I just don't want to see us
get in the kind of situation

where we're so scared of what
the Russians are up to that we

keep on building weapons
and delivery systems

that could blows us off the
face of the Earth by mistake.

What do you suggest?

Let the Russians get
so far ahead of us

that they could
win a nuclear war?

How dare you impugn my honor?

Mark, let me
ask you something.

Have you ever considered
a career in diplomacy?

No.

Good, keep it that way.

Wait a minute, what's
that supposed to mean?

I didn't do anything.

Mark, we're here to
solve one little assignment

for one sweet little old lady.

We're not here to decide
the fate of the world.

Well, maybe you're not, you
know, because you're dead.

I still live on this planet.

You know, when I was in school,
you know, if there was a fight,

the teacher would step
in and break it up.

When I was a cop, I
did the same thing.

Why can't the boss come down
here and put an end to this?

Why can't he put
an end to all war?

Because he's not
a cop, that's why.

He's God and he created
people with choices to make,

with decisions, and the free
will to make those decisions.

Right.

I make the wrong choice,
I screw up my life, right?

But if those guys make
the wrong decision,

it's adios to everybody.

Boy, I hope those
guys are smart.

Hi.
Excellent.

Excellent.

Bring in the food and set
it up on the table, please.

Excuse me.

[speaking russian]

No, my dear Popov,
you don't have to speak

Russian in front of him.

He's probably a CIA
agent anyway, and if not,

I'm sure this room
is bugged, so we'll

help them out a little bit.

There is only one way to
deal with the Americans,

and that is with a firm hand.

You can tell your
boss I said that.

I think my boss already
knows how you feel, sir.

You see, he admits
that the room is bugged.

I like this one.

At least, he's honest.

Mr. Deputy Premier, do you
mind if I ask you something?

Something your boss
wishes to pass on?

Yeah, in a way.
You see--

Sh.

Sh.

Sir, all I--

Sh.

Yes.

Yes, thank you, waiter,
two eggs will be fine.

Yes, please.
Sh.

Sh.

Sir, all I want--

Sh.

Come.

Come, come, come.

Now we can talk.

They can't hear us
with the water running.

I must tell you, I'm very
pleasantly surprised.

I like the way your boss works.

Now what is he willing
to offer for our part,

the question of intermediate
range missiles--

Missiles?

No, sir, this doesn't have
anything to do with missiles.

Then what are we doing
talking in the bathroom?

You wanted to.

Because I thought your
boss wanted to strike a deal.

No, no, it has nothing
to do with a deal.

It has to do with
a Russian woman

who had to leave her
child behind when

she left the Soviet Union.

Oh, the human
rights issue again.

Yeah, I suppose you
could call it that.

Sh.

Parasites, do you hear me?

All those people who
left the Soviet Union are

social parasites, and
those they left behind

are very happy in the USSR.

OK, that was for the record.

Now then, we are willing to
consider letting this woman's

boy come to the United
States if you will cut down

on your land-based missiles.

Mr. Deputy Premier,
I already told you,

it has nothing to
do with missiles.

Ah, computer chips.

That's what's involved.

No.

Love.

Love, that's what involved.

Excuse me?

I can't hear you with
the water running.

I thought you said love.

I did.

I said love.

You see, sir, I'm
not really a waiter.

Surprise, surprise.

Of course, you are
not the waiter.

Why would I be talking
with a waiter in a bathtub?

I'm an angel, sir.

I know you're an agent.

I didn't say--

do you mind?

There.

That's better.

No, I didn't say agent.

I said I'm an angel.

What kind of an angel?

The kind that's
sent by the Almighty.

The Almighty what?

Not the Almighty
what, the Almighty God.

Hello, CIA, this is
Karpovich speaking.

Your man is a coocoo.

One of your agents
has unscrewed his lid.

Flipped.

The expression is
flipped your lid.

Look over there.

Popov?

Popov?

Get [inaudible] and all our
security people over here now.

Yes, Deputy Premier.

Red Fox to Red Fox leader,
three KGB men just running

into Karpovich's cottage.

Over.

As I told you,
comrade, he must

have gotten out the window.

But, comrade, there
isn't any window.

Secret doors, big deal.

Oh, thank you.

Kemosabe, how'd it go?

Not too well.

Unfortunately, he
thinks I'm with the CIA.

The CIA?

Would you hold it down?

We're not alone
in here, you know.

The CIA?

How'd that happen?

I said I was an angel,
he thought I said agent.

It was an honest mistake.

It could have
happened to anybody.

What do we do now?

We're going to have to
get him away from here

so I can talk to
him, reason with him.

It's just no good here.

Here, he's surrounded by
bodyguards and advisors.

Besides, he thinks the
whole place is bugged.

Everything from the
flower pot to the soap.

I'm just going to have to get
him away from here, that's all.

That's all?

Jonathan, you are talking
about kidnapping the Deputy

Premier of the Soviet Union.

It is not kidnapping.

It's-- it's like borrowing.

Sort of.

It's kidnapping.

[dishes breaking]

Mr. Deputy
Premier, we had hoped

to be able to iron out at
least some minor issues

before you meet with
our president tomorrow.

That was our hope as
well, Mr. Undersecretary.

What we hope to
achieve is an agreement

to take meaningful steps
toward arms reductions.

And not just propaganda.

Propaganda?

We have already proposed
to remove certain

of our land-based missiles.

Oh, yes, those missiles
you were already phasing

out because they're outdated?

What about the missiles that
you have deployed in Europe?

Soviet Union will not be bullied
around by your government

in the position of
weakness that will

endanger our national security.

Mr. Deputy Premier, may
I say all our security is

threatened by the
very weapons that are

being deployed by both sides.

Then just stop
deploying your weapons.

You first.

No, you first.

No, you first.

- Why should we--
- Can you believe these guys?

They're like a bunch
of snotty kids.

We don't trust you.

Oh, you think that I trust you
with your crazy psychological

warfare and sending
me crazy CIA men

and putting secret
doors in my bathroom?

I-- I beg your pardon?

Too late for begging,
my dear Admiral.

We're wasting our time.

We will wait until we
can meet with your boss,

as you call him.

Come on.

Good night, gentlemen.

Good night.

Night.

How do you deal with
someone like that?

I mean, the man's a fruitcake.

Jonathan, maybe you better
leave well enough alone.

I mean, you are playing with the
guy who could push the button.

I mean, The button.

Hey, I know that, but
he's our assignment.

We take him tonight.

[mumbling]

Hi.

Popov?

Popov?
- He can't hear you right now.

Stay where you are.
Popov?

Popov?

Hey, will you take it easy?

I just want to talk to you
about the woman and the child.

If your government wants
to negotiate human rights,

put that on the table
and we'll negotiate it,

but don't come in here--

I don't want to negotiate.

Look, I just want to talk.

Stay where you are.

You can talk from there.

We can't talk here.

So we'll go in the bathroom.

I'll run the water.

That's just what I mean.

Here, you think
everything is bugged.

Here, you're the Deputy
Premier of the Soviet Union.

I don't want to talk to him.

I just want to talk
to Andrey Karpovich,

the man, the human being.

You sound like
Barbara Walters.

Get to the point.

Look, I think you better
change your clothes.

You're going to feel
a little out of place

going where we're
going in your pajamas.

Where do you
think we're going?

I know where we're going.

Right on the other
side of this door.

You mean I can open it now?

That's right.

If you let me finish telling
you about the old woman.

Sure, come, Angel.

We'll sit down and
have a cozy chat.

Popov!

Hey, pop off yourself, Mack.

I told you you
should have changed.

Brought your coat.

Very good.

Very good, comrade.

I salute you.

I don't know how you
did it, but it's good.

You can tell your
boss he deserves

more credit than I gave him.

I'm sure he'll be
very happy to hear that.

You know, you can stop
beating on the walls.

There's no secret panels,
and I'm now with the CIA.

Oh, sure, you're
the tooth fairy.

I'm an angel.

Same difference.

Here's your coat.

Let's go.

Very good.

Very good.

Very convincing.

I salute you all, but
you won't break me.

Andrey, shut up and sit down.

You know, you're really
starting to get on my nerves.

Jonathan was right
up front with you.

He tells you who he is, you
still don't believe him.

I believe in CIA, not heaven.

You now, that is really sick?

Must have been the coffee.

You put drops in it and now
I'm having a hallucination.

I can accept that.

One bowl of Manny's
famous firehouse chili,

guaranteed to unclog
your plumbing.

You've ordered food
at a time like this?

Well, I got hungry
wait for you guys.

You two fellas want anything?

Smells good, I'll try it.

I thought you had
a delicate stomach?

Look, this is my
hallucination, not yours.

OK, how about you?

He's an angel, remember?

Why would he want chili?

You guys are getting sloppy.

What is this guy,
some kind of nut?

He thinks he's the
Deputy Premier of Russia

and that we've kidnapped him.

Right.

Look, Andrey, I brought
you here to talk to you

about that woman and her child.

The one I told you about
who had to leave her son

behind when she left Russia.

She's an old woman now.

She's dying.

All she wants is a
chance to see the boy.

So?

So?

What do you mean so?

How can you creeps do that?

How can you treat
people like that?

Look, this is a hallucination,
so I'll speak frankly with you.

These people are
bargaining chips.

We want something from you,
we give you some of them.

It's politics.

But I'm not talking
about politics.

I'm talking about people.

I'm talking about a woman who
didn't get a chance to raise

her own son, about a boy
who didn't get a chance

to know his own mother.

You think that your
country invented motherhood?

Of course, it means
something, but there

are certain things
that have to be

sacrificed for the common
good for the state.

Come on, Jonathan, this guy
is never going to help us.

Of course not.

Why should I help?

Besides, we let the Jews
go, then everybody else

will want to leave also.

What makes you think this
woman and her child are Jewish?

I just assumed.

Well, they're not.

So what?

We have trouble
with Christians too.

I can't help you.

All right, you're going to
have to be the one to tell her.

I haven't got the heart.

Oh, really?

Jonathan, you disappoint me.

You're going to bring out
this hysterical old woman

and you think that I'll break
down and cry crocodile tears.

Your boss made too many
sentimental movies.

It's no use, let's
get out of here.

No, Jonathan, wait.

What for?

Let him eat his chili, please?

For the Gipper.

Father?

Yes, Mrs. Murphy,
may we come in?

Of course, she's
been calling for you.

Thank you.

Why are you dressed like that?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you later.

I'd like you to meet
a friend of mine.

This is Mark Gordon.

Hi.

Oh, how do you do?

And as hard as
it is to believe,

the gentleman
standing over there

is his excellency
Andrey Karpovich,

the Deputy Premier of the USSR.

Indeed.

In his pajamas and overcoat?

Let me smell your
breath, Father.

What is the meaning of this?

I said, what is the
meaning of this?

Of what?

Oh, you smile and you
talk about human rights

and say you just want
to talk, and then you

try a trick like this.

Look, I don't know what
you're talking about.

I'm talking about this.

This picture of my mother.

I just can't believe that's
a picture of your mother.

Are you sure?

As if you did not know.

Andrey, I didn't.

I swear it, not
until this moment.

You are lying.

My mother was
killed by the Nazis,

as were the people
she left me with.

Finally, a woman,
an officer's wife,

found me, took me in,
gave me their name.

So this is another
one of your tricks.

Andrey, your mother
was not killed.

She was sent as a
forced labor to Germany.

That's where she was
liberated by the Americans.

No.

Will you just listen to me?

She came to the United States
and she tried to find you.

Your government
wouldn't cooperate.

It was like you said, politics.

I know this is a trick.

Whatever it is you want from me,
you will not get it this way.

Andrey, this is not a trick.

You're not my assignment.

You never were.

She is.

All she wants is to see her
son once before she dies.

It's a trick.

This is a hallucination.

It's not a hallucination,
and you know it.

I was drugged and
kidnapped, and now you

will bring some woman who
will pose as my mother

to get secrets from me.

Oh, I know how
these things work.

You don't know
how anything works,

nothing important anyway.

Look, nobody in this room
cares about any secrets

that you might have.

And to be honest with
you, I really don't care

about you one way or the other.

You're not the important
person here, she is.

You won't break me.

I will play your
game and I will win.

I will unmask her.

I will break her.

The only thing you will break
is that poor woman's heart

if you go in there and act like
the pompous ass that you are.

There are no games here.

There are no tricks here.

There are no politics
in this room.

There's just your mother.

How very touching,
very angelic.

And I thought we were good
at psychological warfare.

We are nothing compared to you.

But you see, it
doesn't work on me.

I will see her.

Come, take me to your imposter.

It would be my pleasure.

No, Father, or
whoever you are.

That woman is the
dearest soul on Earth,

and I won't let you take
that man into torture her

or to try to break her.

She's been through
enough already.

He won't break
her, Mrs. Murphy.

Don't underestimate me.

Don't underestimate
your mother.

She'll be all right.

Jonathan.

Maria, I'm here.

Did you find him?

Yes.

Where?

Where is he?

He's here.

But he doesn't think you're
really his mother, Maria.

He's a very, very
powerful man now,

and he thinks this is
some kind of a trick.

Do you understand?

Bring him.

Bring him, let me
see him, please?

Closer, please?

There.

Now you see me, madame.

Am I your son?

I don't know.

It's been so long.

Come closer, please?

This is even better
than I thought.

She isn't sure.

She wants me off balance.

Oh, please, I can't see well.

Come closer.

Let me take your hand.

This is close enough.

What's the matter, you afraid?

I don't know.

Jonathan, I don't know.

Come, Madame, I
expected better than this.

Some proof.

Something.

Jonathan, please, help me.

The only picture I have
in my mind of my son

is of a little boy.

Kind and I had to leave him.

How can I tell if this is my--

Enough of this charade.

She's not my mother.

Oh, why are you so upset
if I am not your mother?

Why?

When my son was a little
boy, I would call my heart.

And once, when he was
bullying another child,

trying to take away
a doll, I slapped him

and he didn't even cry.

He just stood there
like a little Cossack.

He said, I hate you.

You are not my mother,
and I am not your heart.

And later, he came to me
with tears in his eyes,

and said, Mama, please,
Mama, forgive me.

Please, take me
back in your heart.

Thank you, Jonathan, for
giving me back my son.

[crying]

Sh.

Sh.

Sh.

Don't cry, [russian].

Don't cry.

You're-- you're my heart.

Jonathan, how much longer
is he going to be in there?

Not much longer.

Well, we got to get him back.

I mean, he meets with
the president today.

If they find out he's missing.

Don't worry, he
won't be missing.

We were invited
into Afghanistan.

Invited?

Like the little
boy with the doll.

He invited you because he
wanted you to take it away.

This is not little
boys and babushka dolls.

We're a nation and I'm a
leader, and we have to watch

for our national interests.

Like Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Poland.

So many places you have invaded.

And what about your country?

Huh?

How many nations have you
invaded since World War II?

Grenada.

We were invited.

So were we.

Ah, don't argue
with your mother.

So many times I wished I
could talk with you like this.

So many times when I was little.

I used to whisper to my pillow
pretending it was you and Papa.

Oh, he loved you very much.

He would be so proud if
you would do something that

would make a real difference.

You have the power.

Oh, Mama, I exercise the
power, but I don't have it.

There's a difference.

It's like the monkey that rides
the tiger's back in the circus.

After all, he's still a monkey.

Not you, not my son,
not [russian],, no monkey.

No.

I can take you back to Russia.

I can get you the best doctors.

No.

I am where I belong.

And you, you are
where you belong.

That was the plan.

[russian], my heart.

My son.

My son.

[russian]

My son.

Mama.

No.

Mama.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Not yet.

She's gone.

If only I had known
about this sooner,

I could have done something.

She wouldn't have had
to live like this.

She would have had doctors.

In the Soviet Union, we would
not have let her end like this.

Where are your social programs?

Why can't you help older
people better than you do?

When all the money goes to
buy weapons to keep up with you

guys, sometimes
there's not enough

left to take care of our own.

Mark.

I'm sorry about his mother.

He asked a question, I answered.

She spoke of a plan.

I don't know what she meant.

She told me the same thing.

She didn't know why she wasn't
allowed to raise her son,

but that she had faith
there was a plan.

Faith?

What good did it do her?

Maybe that's up to you.

They're late, as
usual, Mr. President.

That's the oldest trick in
the book, sit around and wait.

Better have them send
in some more coffee.

This is already cold.

Popov, what do you think
of what I've just told you?

I don't know.

But, Popov, we've known
each other for 30 years.

I wouldn't have told
this to anyone else.

I would say it must be most
unwise for Deputy Premier

of the Soviet Union to have
a mother in the United States

of America, much less to
have consorted with an angel.

I see.

Well, of course, it was
only a hallucination.

Let's go meet their boss.

I hope you've given
some thought to what

we discussed the other day.

Of course, we have.

When you are ready
to reduce the number

of your land-based
medium range missiles,

we shall be ready
doing the same.

Us?

What about you?

Mr. President,
could I say something?

Mark?

You always allow
your servants to take

part in discussion of state?

Just pour the
coffee and leave.

I'm terribly sorry,
Mr. President.

Mr. Deputy Premier, I
don't know what to say.

No, no.

Let him say what he has to say.

I would like to hear the
voice of a typical American.

Thank you.

Mr. President, sir,
I have to tell you,

I've been a big
fan of yours ever

since you were driving
the mule train,

but I got to tell you something.

I mean, I wouldn't trust
these guys any further

than I could throw Fort Knox.

I think that is quite enough.

Please, let him finish.

I got to tell
you something, sir.

I am just as scared of what
could happen by accident

as I am by what could
happen on purpose.

And I think you guys,
I mean, their leaders

and you, you owe it
to our two people

to get together and try to
find some way so that we

don't get adios-ed by mistake.

I mean, you are our leaders.

We can't do it.

You're the only ones who can.

Well, that's all
I've got to say.

Thank you.

Now, then, where were we?

No, no, no, politics
as usual, Popov.

No more monkeys.

Mr. President, you and I are
the two most powerful people

in the history of the world.

We have the power
to make children

orphans and mothers childless.

Surely, we must have the
power to do what he just said.

It won't be easy.

There will be many opposed,
both in your camp and mine,

but as one of your great
Americans once said,

even the greatest journey must
start with one single step.

I am ready to take that first,
tentative, frightening step

if you are.

Mr. Karpovich, if you
meant what you said,

you just made my day.

And the word from
the summit today

is that the President and
Deputy Premier Karpovich met

for several hours after
their scheduled talks

in what was described
as a fireside chat.

Though no particulars
are known as of yet,

the very fact that the
two leaders met face

to face for what
was characterized

as a frank and open
exchange of views

is seen as a positive step.
