YOU SON OF A BITCH!

HE CHECKED HIMSELF

OUT OF A HOSPITAL.

SEEMS HE WAS

IN AN ACCIDENT.

PROFESSOR --

[ SPEAKING GERMAN ]

JA, DANKE.

WE -- WE TALKED, YOU AND I,

ON THE PHONE.

WE DISCUSSED YOUR INTEREST

IN ALTERNATIVE FORMS

OF PROPAGATION.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY FATHER,

A SCHOOLTEACHER,

HIS PASSION FOR SCIENCE.

WE TALKED

ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN,

ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME

YOU'VE SPENT WITH THEM

SINCE YOU LOST YOUR WIFE.

TWO GIRLS, RIGHT?

YOU TOLD ME THEIR NAMES.

AND I...

I J-- I-I JUST C-,

CAN'T....

I KNOW THEM. I KNOW THEM.

10 YEARS OLD.

ABOUT THE SAME AGE I WAS

WHEN I TOLD MY FATHER

I WANTED TO BE A BOTANIST.

DO YOU REMEMBER,

PROFESSOR?

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT

ON THE PHONE.

HOW I'D NEVER SEEN MY FATHER

THIS HAPPY.

NO, THAT WASN'T YOU.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

WE SPOKE ABOUT HOW BRAVE

OUR WIVES WERE...

Both:

...TO MARRY SCIENTISTS.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT...

...OUR HONEYMOON IN PARIS.

MY WIFE AND I.

AND HOW SHE WANTED

TO VISIT ALL THE MUSEUMS.

ALL I WANTED TO DO

WAS GO TO THE...

...L'ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE.

BUT SHE INSISTED.

AND THAT'S HOW I FIRST SAW

LEONARDO'S "VITRUVIAN MAN."

WOW.

[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]

THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

MOMENT, MOMENT.

BUT HE HAS TAKEN

EVERYTHING FROM ME.

...MY FRIEND, HE...

...LOOKS...

HAVE LET YOU LEAVE.

FROM A COMA,

WAS PREVIOUSLY ONLY FANTASY.

SEDATE YOU NOW,

DO ANOTHER MRI,

TRY TO FIND OUT

WHAT'S GOING ON, OKAY?

IF I'M NOT MARTIN HARRIS,

WHY DO I KNOW

SO MUCH ABOUT HIM?

PERHAPS HE WAS SOMEONE

YOU READ ABOUT

OR MET ONCE IN PASSING.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

TO BECOME INSANE, DOCTOR?

ALL GONE.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST HISTORY

THAT'S FORGOTTEN --

IT'S PEOPLE, TOO.

PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT

NURSE GRETCHEN HERFORT.

QUITE A STORY.

FOR A MOMENT, THEY HAD ME

CONVINCED I WAS CRAZY.

BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO TAKE ME,

WHEN THEY...

KILLED YOUR FRIEND...

I KNEW.

I'M NOT SURE

HOW I CAN BE OF SERVICE.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME

PROVE I'M ME.

MAY I?

PLEASE.

IT'S A -- IT'S A GIFT

FROM MY FATHER.

I ALWAYS HAVE IT WITH ME.

THESE MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

NO.

IT'S MY WIFE'S WRITING.

SO, THEY MEAN SOMETHING

TO HER.

THAT'S MY SCHEDULE

FOR THIS WEEK.

I WROTE IT FROM MEMORY.

YOUR WIFE'S INVOLVEMENT

IN THIS.

THERE MUST HAVE BEEN

SOMETHING IN THE PAST,

A NEW FRIEND,

AN ACQUAINTANCE?

NO, NO, NO.

UNEXPLAINED ABSENCE?

NO, NO!

THERE WAS NOTHING.

I WOULD'VE KNOWN.

MEN ALWAYS LIKE

TO THINK --

IT'S NOT LIZ.

I KNOW HER.

YET SHE DOES NOT KNOW YOU.

LOOK, WHOEVER'S

BEEN DOING THIS,

THEY'VE BEEN PLANNING IT

FOR SOME TIME.

THEY HAVE PASSPORTS,

CREDIT CARDS,

FAMILY PHOTOS,

FOR GOD'S SAKES.

I MEAN, THIS TAKES PREPARATION,

DOESN'T IT?

THEY HAVE DETAILED KNOWLEDGE

OF MY RESEARCH,

MY RELATIONSHIP

WITH PROFESSOR --

AS WELL AS THE FACT

THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE

A RANDOM ACCIDENT

THAT WOULD ALLOW A STRANGER

TO SEAMLESSLY

TAKE YOUR PLACE?

THESE PEOPLE MAY BE GOOD,

BUT THEY ARE NOT GOD.

A LITTLE CONFIRMATION

WOULD BE NICE.

SOMEWHERE THERE'S PROOF.

THEY CAN'T HAVE THOUGHT

OF EVERYTHING.

THE QUESTION IS, WHY WOULD THEY

WANT TO TAKE YOUR PLACE?

WHAT COULD THEY GAIN

FROM BEING YOU?

WHAT DOES YOUR WIFE GAIN

BY DENYING YOU EXIST?

DO YOU BELIEVE ME?

IN THE STASI,

WE HAD A BASIC PRINCIPLE --

ASK ENOUGH QUESTIONS,

AND A MAN WHO IS LYING

WILL EVENTUALLY

CHANGE HIS STORY,

BUT A MAN WHO TELLS THE TRUTH

CANNOT CHANGE HIS,

HOWEVER UNLIKELY

HIS STORY SOUNDS.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME?

I BELIEVE...

YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH,

DR. HARRIS.

I'LL START BY CALLING

YOUR COLLEAGUE AT LANGEMORE.

AS YOU SAY, IT'S THANKSGIVING,

AND THERE'S THE TIME DIFFERENCE,

SO IT MAY TAKE TIME

TO MAKE CONTACT.

THEN THERE IS

THE QUESTION OF...

OH, OF MONEY.

OF COURSE.

UNFORTUNATELY, YES.

MONEY.

OF COURSE.

HERE.

HERE'S EVERYTHING I HAVE.

I'LL PAY YOU IN FULL

AS SOON AS I CAN.

FOR EXPENSES.

SURE.

I'LL NEED 24 HOURS.

CALL ME TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

AND GO FIND YOUR TAXI DRIVER.

SEE IF SHE'LL TALK TO ME.

SHE WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING

OF ALL THIS.

PERHAPS SHE KNOWS SOMETHING.

I'VE ALREADY TRIED.

THERE MAY BE DETAILS

WE'VE OVERLOOKED.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS

REALLY KNOWN FOR --

DETAILS.

[ BOTTLES CLANG ]

FROM THE ACCIDENT.

YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL.

THEY WOULD HAVE DEPORTED YOU.

TO HAVE THIS.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT?

IT'S WORTH

AT LEAST 5,000 EURO.

I NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO.

HE'S NOT THE POLICE.

HE KILLED A NURSE.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW I HAVE NEVER

LAID EYES ON THOSE MEN.

WHY THE HELL DID YOU

HAVE TO GET INTO MY TAXI?

I WISH I HADN'T.

BELIEVE ME.

AND BIKO.

HIS FAMILY IS IN AFRICA.

THE MONEY WILL JUST STOP COMING.

THEY WILL NEVER KNOW WHY.

MEN LIKE THAT, BACK THERE.

I HAVE SEEN

THOSE KIND OF MEN BEFORE.

THEY KILLED MY FAMILY

IN BOSNIA.

MY MOTHER, MY FATHER,

MY BROTHERS, SLAUGHTERED!

WE HAVE TO DISAPPEAR.

GINA, THEY'RE AFTER ME,

NOT YOU.

DON'T BE STUPID --

THEY'RE AFTER BOTH OF US!

IF THEY KILLED BIKO,

THEY'LL KILL ME JUST AS EASILY.

[ LAUGHS ]

ARE YOU READY?

DON'T ASK.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY I BROUGHT MORE TROUBLE

INTO YOUR LIFE.

I WILL TRY AND MAKE UP FOR IT.

I PROMISE.

I KNOW.

I'VE FIGURED

SOMETHING OUT.

IT'S A SIMPLE CODE.

THE FIRST NUMBER REFERS

TO A PAGE IN THE BOOK,

THE SECOND TO A LINE

ON THAT PAGE,

THE THIRD TO WORDS

ON THAT LINE.

WHAT ARE THE WORDS?

THE LATIN NAMES

OF TWO PLANT SPECIES --

CALOCHORTUS ALBUS AND

UMBELLULARIA CALIFORNICA.

FAIRY LANTERN

AND CALIFORNIA BAY --

BOTH COMMON

FLOWERING PLANTS.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

THAT I DON'T KNOW.

NOT PART OF YOUR WORK,

OR PROFESSOR BRESSLER'S?

NO.

TELL ME, MARTIN,

HOW CLOSE ARE PROFESSOR BRESSLER

AND PRINCE SHADA?

VERY CLOSE. THE PRINCE

IS SPONSORING THE SUMMIT.

THEY'RE BOTH PROGRESSIVES.

BRESSLER WANTS

TO END WORLD HUNGER.

HE'S RESEARCHING NEW FORMS

OF CROP CULTIVATION,

OFFERING OPEN ACCESS

TO HIS DATA.

THE PRINCE FUNDS HIS WORK.

HE KNOWS THE WORLD

WILL NEED FOOD

LONG AFTER HIS OIL RESOURCES

ARE DEPLETED.

THOSE AGRICULTURAL PATENTS

WILL BE WORTH A FORTUNE.

BUT THE PRINCE'S PROGRESSIVENESS

HAS COST HIM.

EXTREMISTS IN HIS OWN COUNTRY

HATE HIM,

AND YET HE PERSEVERES

HIS COURSE,

DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS

ON HIS LIFE.

THERE'S A COCKTAIL PARTY BEFORE

BRESSLER'S SPEECH TONIGHT,

IS THAT CORRECT?

YES.

FOR SOME, THAT MIGHT BE A VERY

GOOD REASON TO WANT TO BE YOU.

MARTIN HARRIS

WITH JUST A FEW GUESTS

IN A CONFINED SPACE

WITH PRINCE SHADA.

JUERGEN MAY BE RIGHT, BUT HE

MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT.

I NEED TO FIND LIZ.

OH, MARTIN,

THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HER HAVE

BEEN STICKING TO MY SCHEDULE.

I KNOW

WHERE SHE'LL BE TODAY.

SOMEONE

WILL BE WATCHING HER.

WHAT IF HE'S THERE?

HE WON'T BE.

HE'S ME, REMEMBER?

HE'LL BE MEETING

WITH BRESSLER.

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHY.

ARE THEY --

ARE THEY MAKING YOU DO THIS?

ARE THEY THREATENING YOU?

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

DID YOU FOLLOW ME?

WHEN WE ARRIVED,

YOU SAW THE AD.

YOU MENTIONED

WHEN WE FIRST SAW HER SHOW,

IN CHICAGO, TOGETHER.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

[ SIGHS ]

DANKE.

I CAN'T GET OUT.

COME WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

NO. THEY'LL KILL US BOTH.

I NEVER

SHOULD HAVE LEFT YOU.

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE

GOTTEN INTO THAT TAXI.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,

DO YOU?

YOUR BRIEFCASE. IT GOT

LEFT BEHIND AT THE AIRPORT.

THAT'S WHY

YOU WERE GOING BACK.

YOU NEED TO FIND IT.

WAIT FOR ME THERE.

LIZ, LIZ, WAIT.

I LOVE YOU.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

NOT HERE.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

[ CELLPHONE BEEPING ]

I HAVE TO GO TO THE AIRPORT

RIGHT AWAY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

[ RINGING CONTINUES ]

JA.

MAN: Is this Ernst Juergen?

YES, IT IS.

MY NAME IS RODNEY COLE.

I RECEIVED A PHONE MESSAGE

FROM YOU.

AND I RECEIVED TWO

FROM MARTIN, AS WELL.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

OH, DEAR.

OH, THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

THE POOR MAN.

WELL, LISTEN,

HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS.

I'VE JUST ARRIVED IN BERLIN.

YES, I'VE BEEN TEACHING

IN LEIPZIG,

AT THE, UH,

HOCHSCHULE FUER TECHNIK.

I'M SORRY,

PLEASE EXCUSE MY GERMAN.

WELL, I CAME UP FOR THE LAST DAY

TO HEAR BRESSLER'S SPEECH.

I COULD COME RIGHT OVER.

NO, NO, NO, IT'S FINE.

It's no problem at all.

It's not far.

I know

exactly where you are.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU,

MR. COLE.

Well, then,

I'll see you soon. Bye.

WHICH IS MORE THAN LIKELY

AFTER IT MADE HER HUSBAND

GO BLIND.

NO, THANK YOU.

MAYBE SOME COFFEE?

I'M MAKING SOME FOR MYSELF.

NO, I'M FINE.

THANK YOU.

YOU WERE

IN THE MILITARY.

IN THE STASI

IN EAST GERMANY.

WELL, MY GRANDSON'S GONNA BE

VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT.

HE LOVES ALL THIS

COLD WAR STUFF.

OH, LOOK AT THAT.

WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT?

THAT'S A VOLGA GAZ-24.

SUSPENSION OF A DONKEY CART

AND SMELLED LIKE A TANNERY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

VANISHED AS QUICKLY

AS THE WALL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THIS BUSINESS WITH MARTIN

IS A HELL OF A THING.

HOW DID HE FIND YOU?

QUITE BY CHANCE,

AS IT HAPPENS.

I WOULD SAY

HE WAS DAMN LUCKY.

HOW CAN I HELP?

COME WITH US

TO THE AUTHORITIES.

HAVE THEM CONFIRM

HIS IDENTITY.

THE AUTHORITIES?

OH, JESUS. IS IT THAT BAD?

I MEAN, A MAN COMES TO YOU

WITH A STORY.

WHY DID YOU TAKE HIS CASE?

[ CHUCKLES ] CURIOSITY.

IS THAT ALL?

THERE'S NOT MUCH

IN THIS WORLD LEFT

TO INTEREST

AN OLD SPY LIKE ME.

A FEW QUESTIONS

I STILL THINK OVER.

ONE IN PARTICULAR FROM WHEN

I WORKED FOR THE AUFKLARUNG,

OUR FOREIGN

INTELLIGENCE WING.

THEY USED TO TALK

ABOUT THE EUROPEAN-BASED

ASSASSINATION UNIT

CALLED SECTION 15.

FREELANCE, DENIABLE. THEY'D

WORK FOR WHOEVER WOULD PAY.

PUBLIC SECTOR,

PRIVATE SECTOR.

SECOND-TO-NONE IN THEIR

PLANNING AND EFFICIENCY.

WHAT'S MORE,

THEY NEVER FAILED.

AND I'M TOLD

THEY ARE STILL IN EXISTENCE,

BUT THAT'S ONLY RUMOR,

OF COURSE.

YOU HAD TIME

AFTER I CALLED YOU.

WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN?

WHERE SHOULD I RUN

FROM SECTION 15, MR. COLE?

I CAN HARDLY WALK.

BEFORE WE COULD GET

CHESTERFIELDS,

I SMOKED 60 MACHORKAS

A DAY.

FILTHY SOVIET THINGS.

KILLED MORE RUSSIANS

THAN STALIN.

MY DOCTORS ASSURE ME

I'LL SOON BE JOINING

THEIR LIST OF CASUALTIES.

I WANT TO KNOW

HOW HE FOUND YOU.

I WANT EVERY NAME,

EVERY SOURCE

YOU CONTACTED

ON HIS BEHALF.

AND THEN WHAT?

WE SHAKE HANDS

AND YOU GO AWAY?

[ GRUNTS ]

CYANIDE.

YOU NEVER THINK YOU'LL HAVE

THE COURAGE TO USE IT.

BUT YOU DO.

THE BEST OF US DO.

WHAT IF HE REMEMBERS

EVERYTHING?

WHAT THEN?

[ BEEP ]

[ SPEAKS GERMAN ]

[ SPEAKS GERMAN ]

WAIT, WAIT. PLEASE.

THE COMBINATION

FOR THE LOCK IS...

IT'S 2-8-0.

Gina: ZWEI, ACHT, NULL.

ZWEI, ACHT, NULL,

SECHS, DREI, FUNF.

Martin: WHO AM I?

MAY I?

YOU SHOULDN'T STAY HERE.

IT'S NOT SAFE FOR YOU.

LIZ TOLD ME TO WAIT HERE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

YOU'VE GOT YOUR LIFE BACK.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

NOW I NEED TO GET ON WITH MINE.

GINA.

THANK YOU.

IT'S MORE THAN I NEED.

IT'S LESS THAN YOU DESERVE.

FOR EVERYTHING

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH.

GO ON, TAKE IT.

WHAT IF SHE TOLD THEM

WHERE YOU WERE GOING?

LIZ? SHE WOULDN'T.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

GINA...SHE'S MY WIFE.

YES, SHE IS.

IT'S TOO HEAVY FOR ME.

MARTIN. MARTIN.

OH, MY GOD, LOOK AT YOU.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

RODNEY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, YOU CALLED ME.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

YOU LEFT A MESSAGE

ON MY MACHINE.

I GOT ON THE FIRST PLANE

I COULD.

WHAT HAVE YOU

GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO?

I'M SORRY TO DRAG YOU

INTO THIS, BUT --

AH, DON'T BE.

YOU'D DO THE SAME FOR ME.

IT'S ME.

IT'S, IT'S NOT

HE'S NOT --

MARTIN HARRIS?

NO, COURSE HE'S NOT.

BUT, THEN,

NEITHER ARE YOU.

WHAT?

THERE IS NO MARTIN HARRIS.

HE DOESN'T EXIST.

YOU INVENTED HIM.

HE'S YOUR LEGEND.

YOU JUST MADE HIM UP

AS A COVER TO GET

INTO THE CONFERENCE.

YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE.

LIZ...

LIZ.

LIZ IS NOT YOUR WIFE.

YOU WERE

A PROFESSIONAL TEAM.

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO.

TH-- THIS IS INSANE. SHE --

YOUR MEMORIES

ARE NOT REAL.

MARTIN HARRIS

IS A FABRICATION.

YOU JUST INVENTED A LIFE,

AND THEN YOU FILLED IN

THE GAPS.

SHE'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE REALLY GONE ON THIS.

SHE HAD TO GO IN WITH A BACKUP.

HOW DO YOU THINK SHE FEELS?

THEY'RE GONNA WRITE A TEXTBOOK

ON YOU SOMEDAY.

AND THANK YOU FOR RETRIEVING

THE BRIEFCASE FROM THE AIRPORT.

LEAVING IT THERE

WAS UNTIDY.

IT WAS A LOOSE END THAT

DIDN'T FIT IN WITH OUR PLANS

AND...

JUERGEN FIGURED US OUT.

BY THE WAY, HE'S DEAD.

AND HE DIED VERY WELL.

AND I'M AFRAID

THAT ISN'T SOMETHING

I'M GONNA BE ABLE

TO SAY ABOUT YOU.

I'M SORRY.

I'M REALLY...

REALLY SORRY.

RODNEY!

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS --

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

ONE YEAR OF PREPARATION.

WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD

TO MAKE YOU COME BACK.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME

YOU'VE WASTED?

IT'S THANKSGIVING.

I COULD'VE BEEN HOME

WITH MY FAMILY, HAVING DINNER

INSTEAD OF CLEANING UP

YOUR MESS

BECAUSE YOU BUMPED YOUR HEAD

AND STARTED

TO BELIEVE YOUR COVER.

TELL ME.

WHO AM I?

YOU WERE A TRAINED ASSASSIN,

AND YOU WERE MY BEST BOY.
