Original subtitles

- Charlie.

I still wanna keep calling you Charlie.

You will call me Anne.

I think it's better we keep it that way.

Had it happened one day later,

I would've been Elizabeth again, forever.

I was all packed up.

I had my ticket.

Anyone else would've just up and left.

- Good morning.

Today's Wednesday, October 29th, 2008.

Our first story today is the powerful earthquake in Pakistan

that caused over 100 casualties.

The quake hit the southwest of the country at dawn,

close to the Afghan border.

A magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale.

The European financial markets remain euphoric.

Ranging things up by 9.2%

just a day after Wall Street's spectacular rally.

And out with a horrible .5% interest rate has been cut.

But our main story is still the US presidential election.

Today both Barack Obama and John McCain are in Pennsylvania,

one of the swing states that could send

the democratic candidate to the White House.

Though the republicans insist they can do it.

The latest polls show the-

And finally, stocks.

- Loufy!

Loufy!

Loufy?

Loufy.

what's wrong, boy?

Tired?

You hungry?

Loufy, here.

You don't want it?

Loufy.

Hello?

- Good morning,

this is the American consulate in Bern,

happy to inform you that your passport has been recovered.

- Yes, but there must be a mistake.

- Mrs. Keller, Anne Keller?

- I'm Elizabeth.

- You can retrieve it

at our office mornings nine to noon.

- Yes, but I still have my passport.

- I have to check that.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have a nice day.

They have less

than a week left until the election,

it continues to be undecided.

Both parties are rallying around their candidates.

But we can't say whether Barack Obama or John McCain

are destined to emerge from the race.

- Today will be sunny and clear.

Showers this morning, moving on in the north,

will linger on the valley area.

- Andre, it's Anne.

- Anne?

- I wasn't sure you would talk to me.

- Where are you calling from?

- I'm still in Saint Mortiz.

Look, I'm moving and I found something here

that doesn't belong to me.

I don't want to throw it away.

- You're a civilian now,

go through the proper channel.

- It could go through you.

- No, it couldn't.

I'm out of the field for three years now.

Shuffling papers at the embassy,

and work would like to keep it that way.

- Who can I give it to?

- You'll find a way.

I have to go.

- Andre?

Did anyone call you already?

- Who would?

- Asking about me.

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

- Anne, take care of yourself.

- Loufy!

Loufy!

Loufy!

Loufy, Loufy.

Come.

Come here, come.

That's right.

Hello?

- Elizabeth Keller.

- Speaking.

- My name is Turner. Joe Turner.

- Yes.

- I would like to talk to you

about a delicate matter.

In fact, I, I don't really want to talk to you exactly,

I would like to talk to Anne.

- She doesn't live here anymore.

Do you know her?

- No, not personally, but she probably heard

about what we do.

- Who's we?

- Silver Cloud, we're a multinational media,

non-governmental organization.

We initiated the offshore leaks,

the secret bank accounts and tax havens.

- Yeah, I know who we are.

Silver Cloud, giving asylum to the truth.

- That's us.

- That's a very good cause, then.

- I think so. Yes.

- Whistle blowing.

- No, no such thing.

I just have one question and I think she could help.

- Who would she be helping?

- Well, someone very special.

Someone she would consider worth it.

Look, I don't have time to play games.

Just check your mail, your snail mail.

- For most of this campaign, we were far behind,

we always knew our climb would be steep.

In record numbers, you came out.

You spoke up for change.

And with your voices, and your votes.

- So what does Silver Cloud

intend to publish exactly?

- Well, I can guarantee

we'll blue pencil your name.

The official press release will be quote,

Dr. Suki Kang, current campaign advisor to Barack Obama,

works as an intelligence agent for SRV,

the foreign intelligence service of the Russian Federation

code named Steppenwolf from February to December, 2004.

During this period, Suki Kang delivered

significant scientific intelligence stolen

from a private big data management research center.

End of quotes.

- Who's going to give a shit?

- Well nobody would take the risk.

- But that happened over four years ago.

- Come on, the man who stands for the Presidency

is careless enough to hire a Russian spy?

I mean once out in the open, I mean,

he can lie down and die.

- How did you get the file?

- It was leaked to the site.

Maybe a lone whistleblower, but it's most unlikely.

We believe it came straight from inside the SRV; Putin.

- Or it could have come from the other side, too,

from the CIA, somebody working within the CIA.

Any agency that would've gotten their hands on it.

- It's possible.

At the end of the day, it doesn't change a thing.

- What's in the file?

- A detailed timeline.

The list of intel that has been delivered,

hard not to check after four years.

Some surveillance photographs.

The ones I sent you.

The first cash installment according to the file.

- Seems pretty solid.

- That's why I need someone

with some skin in the game.

- I dropped out of this life a long time ago.

- You were recruiting sources.

- That's not accurate.

- You were involved.

- I'm sorry, I can't talk to you.

I'm not going to tell you anything.

- I understand that you can't confirm.

- I won't deny it either.

- No, that's why I won't ask you any questions.

I understand that you have to keep quiet.

- Look, I will neither confirm nor deny

anything about this matter.

- All right, look, I'm gonna count to 10

and you won't speak.

- What? What do you mean?

- I'm gonna count to 10.

If you don't hang up before I get to 10,

I'll consider we're not wrong.

- Wrong about what?

- Kang was a source for the Russian Secret Service,

Silver Cloud will publish.

You won't have told me anything.

I'll count to 10.

- No, I'm not playing this game.

- Of course you're not.

One, two- - Stop it.

- Three, four, five,

six, seven,

eight, nine-

- What happened?

- I don't know, but he panicked.

I think he realized what he was doing.

- He didn't take the money.

- Sure you'll manage?

- Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

- Okay.

- You'll be all right.

Just take your finger off the button

so you don't stop the recording.

You are trustworthy.

- Come on, Anne.

What the hell are you doing?

Why did you hang up that fucking phone?

It was easy, all you had to do was wait for him

to count to 10 before hanging up.

- And then what?

- And then it was all over.

- For whom?

- Listen, Anne, it's in your best interest

for things not to go any further.

- Yeah, I know.

Your voice sounds different.

- Yours is still exactly the same.

- Must be my memory playing tricks.

How many bugs are there?

- No idea.

Didn't have time to wire the workshop.

What gave them away?

- The fridge.

- Why didn't you get rid of it?

You wanted to talk to me.

- Tell me, how long have you been listening?

- I convinced there might be more useful insight.

- Why did you do that?

- To protect you.

- To protect me.

- I wanna prevent you from doing something stupid.

The GRU is handling the case now, military intelligence,

you know what that means?

They're monitoring all comms to and from Silver Cloud.

- They don't know you're talking to me.

- Obviously not.

- So what are you doing here?

- I was your case officer.

Do you think I know how you'll react?

- And do you?

- I don't know, I'm not too sure anymore.

- You are wondering if I kept it.

I could have or I could have ditched it.

Would you be relieved?

- Yes.

I'll call you back.

- Where are you?

- Close by, there are three of them.

Dangerous bureaucrats, know what I mean?

- And they don't suspect you?

- I don't think so, but I gotta be careful.

Give me 10 minutes.

Okay, now I'm alone.

Why did you keep it?

- I have it here with me.

No one ever wondered why it wasn't in the file?

- I reported it as accidentally destroyed.

No one asked questions, it was just another fuck up.

We could not have guessed what Kang would become.

- It's the only material proof that

the whole thing is bullshit.

- You wanna derail a GRU operation?

- Are you scared?

- So what are you gonna do?

- I don't wanna be involved.

- You are already knee deep in this.

- No way, now I'm a civilian.

I don't have to lie anymore.

- Why does it matter anyway?

It's just an election.

There'll be another one and another one and another one.

- But I don't have to obey anyone anymore.

Not them and not you.

- So you're still pissed then,

even after all this time?

When you think about it, we were almost like a real couple.

Remember how we met?

- We didn't meet.

You needed me, or someone like me.

So you recruited me.

- It's the only thing I do well.

I managed to do it once, you think I can do it again?

So you're still pissed then, even after all this time?

When you think about it, we were almost like a real couple.

- Your voice sounds different.

- Yours is still exactly the same.

- Must be my memory playing tricks.

- Anne, you are trustworthy.

Anne.

What are you doing?

Anne, you here?

- I'm cleaning.

- It's not the right time.

Anne, don't do that now.

- Just a minute.

- Yes?

- Why did you hang up?

- I have nothing to say.

- You already did the way you hung up.

- That doesn't mean anything.

- I think it does.

You didn't hang up on me right away,

but you didn't let me get to 10.

- And you're able to figure something out from that.

- Yes.

A repressed desire to tell the truth.

- That's pretty farfetched.

- Maybe it is.

According to my experience, it's quite accurate.

- You're just angling.

- I know, there's something else going on here.

- There's always something else going on.

- Look, you were never really

part of the community.

You're not Russian, you only stayed in the field

for a few years, you fell into it by accident.

- It was no accident.

I made a choice.

- You have no loyalty to Russia

nor to your former employers.

- I have higher loyalties.

- Oh, so we can find common ground.

Whatever service is behind that,

they don't give a shit about the outcome.

- Why would they do it then?

- To win.

To show that they can control the American elections,

that they have this kind of power.

- That must be a big turn on.

- You tell me.

You're the one who has this kind of power right now.

- No, I don't.

Look, if you think there's a problem, just don't publish it.

- I wish we could.

If we don't post the file and it pops up

through another channel, Silver Cloud will be discredited

for having covered up for any particular candidate.

We're caught in our own trap giving asylum to the truth.

We had to set up a deadline on the site to buy time.

We have 20 hours left.

- I'm sure you can find another source

that'll confirm it to you.

- I'm afraid there's no one else.

There's only you, Anne.

- I have to go.

- Anne, don't you wanna see the first

Black president of the United States get elected?

Think it over, I'll leave you a number.

- Don't bother.

- You're right, this place is heaven.

At least it could be.

- You think you just have to snap your fingers?

- I get the feeling you snapped

your fingers to call me.

Anne, I'm done.

I'm hanging up my hat for good.

- You should have done it then.

- They transferred me without even a day's notice.

- So that's your excuse?

- I didn't believe it then.

- Believe what?

- That I meant that much to you,

I just didn't believe it.

- Hold on, there's something wrong with your voice.

- So now you want me to be someone else.

There's nothing wrong with my voice, with my head, maybe.

But first thing first, we need to get rid of Silver Cloud.

- Do you think I'm that dumb?

- It's the only way I'll ever be free to leave.

Otherwise we'll never feel safe.

- So I'm supposed to trust you.

- Anne, if you wanna say no, just say no.

- You think...

You think you could really be in danger?

- Hard to say.

I don't know these guys.

And I can't imagine how the center

could have sanctioned an op like that.

I think it's more like a faction inside the GRU.

I don't know what makes these guys tick.

- Charlie...

Tell me your name.

The one you were given at birth.

Do you remember it?

- Katja.

Katja Egorova.

- Yeah?

- So what made you change your mind?

- You can count to 10.

- Is that a confirmation?

- That's all I can do.

- I don't think it's enough.

- What, you think I'm a liar?

- No, I think everybody's a liar.

- Well, you got the file.

- It's only a file,

I'm missing a bit of meat around the bone

on something that rings true.

What was the name of the case officer?

- I don't give names.

- Okay.

How did you choose Kang?

What was your objective?

- Our job was to recruit sources with potential.

- With Charlie, you were living together.

It's in the file.

And what was your cover?

- I was working as a PR,

I already had contacts with the scientific ex-pat community.

- What was he working on?

- Big data, could have been an angle,

manipulation and transparency of personal data.

We didn't know what it meant at the time.

- How did you establish contact with Kang?

- Through his wife.

She was a customer.

We became close.

I mean not friends,

but acquaintances.

- And what was the plan to turn him?

Did you blackmail him?

- Kang's way of life was spotless.

His ego was under control.

We considered ideology, but his field was just a general,

so we were left with the money and he didn't need it.

So we had nothing.

- Well, what did you do?

- We got lucky.

His wife got very ill.

Cancer.

- That's ruthless.

- All of a sudden he needed a lot of money,

you can easily check that out.

He just came to me and asked me if Charlie could help him.

- How did you make your offer.

- First a fat fee for trivial intel.

Then there was no turning back.

- Well, how long did he work for you?

- A few months.

I can't remember.

After a while, the center asked us to drop him.

Probably they deemed his material pointless.

Obviously they

misjudged his potential.

The candidate is toasted.

- I wish I could have denied it.

- Do you?

Do you?

- He still has doubts.

- So do you think they'll publish it?

- I don't know.

I don't make the calls.

- You're losing him.

- I'm just a foot soldier here as you were.

- Do not trust him.

- Do you think they'll take the risk?

- It's not my problem.

- Find something.

Tell him about the videotape.

Offer him the videotape, come on.

- I have the video.

- Video?

Video of what?

- The swap video.

The first payment.

- You kept the file?

You didn't file it?

- Trust me, you need to close the deal.

- Just the video.

- Why?

- 'Cause it has sentimental value.

- My chance- - No,

sentimental value.

Say it.

- Is it the original?

- Yes.

I can email it to you.

- No, no, no, no, no.

I need the original.

Look, I can, I can drive up to where you are.

- No, no way.

Use your ground.

- Saint Moritz.

- Okay, you'll see a Ford Mondeo,

it'll be parked by- - Town Hall.

- One hour.

- And a half.

You want me to give it to him?

- We're gonna fabricate the proof they're missing.

You get to the part where Kang exits the parking structure

and you erase the rest.

Make it look like he did take the cash.

Make sure that's all there is to see.

- I can't do that.

- You're shitting me.

- You knew from the start that you would ask me to do that.

- No, of course I didn't.

You could hear that he was wavering, I had to improvise.

Anyway, I'll meet you there.

- What?

- We're leaving.

- What, tonight?

- Do you realize what kind of panic

this tape will cause when it reappears?

If I go back, do you know what will happen to me?

We drive to Zurich tonight and get on the first plane out.

Don't tell me you've changed your mind.

- No.

No.

- I'm gonna have to borrow some of your clothes.

- Did you get fat?

- Nah.

Not that much.

I'm on my way.

- There's some kind of tent on the main square.

It's black and yellow.

- We'll take your car.

Be careful, okay?

- I had forgotten the rush of it.

- Did you miss it?

- We could get back in the game.

- Shut the fuck up, they don't need us anymore.

You know, I don't feel great about this.

- What, tanking the new Kennedy?

- Maybe it's not even gonna change anything.

- Well, you never know.

Maybe things could have gone bad if Kennedy had lived.

Might have ended up launching the missiles.

- What are you talking about?

- It's like they say, you know the person you love,

not the person you marry.

What are you doing?

- I didn't have time to eat today.

Wait, my finger's-

It's a gingerbread Santa.

- Save me a piece.

- Mm, if I can control myself, sure.

What about us?

- What?

- If it doesn't work out?

- Then it would be all on you.

- Yeah, probably.

You know I don't really look like I did

in the video anymore.

- You'll recognize me right away.

I use facial mask now.

Dior ultra moisturizing.

- Oh, oh.

You never did moisturize.

If it doesn't work out?

- Charlie, where are you?

Charlie?

- We're not alone.

- Where are you?

- I'm not sure.

There's someone here.

- I can't see you.

- Wait, don't talk.

I can't see him.

I'm walking back up.

Meet me up there.

- I don't understand.

I'm coming to you.

- No, it's too dangerous.

- Where are you?

- I don't know.

- Tell me what you see around you.

What street are you on?

- Via da l'Alp.

- Stay there, I'm coming to you.

- I didn't have time to eat today.

Save me a piece.

They don't suspect you.

I don't think so,

but I gotta be careful.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just stopped in Bever.

I need a break.

Are you on a landline?

- I need a break is an exfiltration code,

not an abort code.

- What do I know? I don't care.

It's the only one I remember.

The sat phone is not secure, Charlie.

- What do you mean?

- The guy after you, he wasn't following us.

He was waiting for us.

He knew where we were supposed to meet.

Charlie, they know.

- What do they know?

- They've been listening to us from the start.

They know about the video and they were counting on it.

- It's impossible, I'm the only one who knows.

I told you, I said it was destroyed,

that the tape got caught inside the camera.

It happened all the time with this shitty gear.

- Could be that they only heard about it a short while ago.

What if they had it already?

But maybe it wasn't enough for the fact checkers

at Silver Cloud.

They needed a smoking gun to back up their claims

and we're the ones who gave it to them.

And you are the only one who could make me

do that kind of thing.

- Do you think I'm in on it now?

- You tell me.

I don't know.

- I have nothing to do with this.

They gambled on you doing everything you could

to protect me, and they were right.

- So you and I are the only witnesses left.

They won't do anything until after the file

is published online.

- No, listen, they got what they wanted.

They have no reason to go after you.

- Are you willing to take the chance?

The gym, you remember the gym?

Call me there in 20 minutes.

- Anne, we have less than four hours left.

- Our tickets are booked.

- Anne?

Anne?

Anne, are you still there?

- Are you wearing a different perfume tonight?

The one on your scarf is the perfume you used

to wear back then.

Your handkerchief smells different.

- What handkerchief?

- I found the gingerbread Santa.

- It's not what you think.

- What am I thinking?

- I did not lie to you.

- Please stop.

You wanted to drive me crazy and you succeeded.

- I'm sorry.

It was a silly touch.

- What do you mean silly?

Because you realize now that it was completely superfluous.

- Listen, they didn't give me a choice.

- Actually it was all your idea

and you handed it to them on a platter.

- I didn't want to get you more involved

than I had to.

Go to the airport right now and get on that plane.

You don't have a second to spare.

Please do it.

- What about you?

You're gonna disappear?

- They're not gonna let me leave, not now.

They're gonna keep me under their thumb for a while.

We'll see what happens when things settle.

- Charlie, have you ever been sincere

even once in your life?

- Get on that plane.

Please, Anne.

- What's gonna happen if they don't publish?

- Why wouldn't they?

Anne, what are you doing?

- I have insurance.

- You get to the part where Kang exits

the parking structure and you erase the rest.

Make sure that's all there is to see.

- What happened?

- I think he realized what he was doing.

- He didn't take the money.

- What insurance?

- I have to go.

- What do you mean by insurance?

- Hello?

- Anne?

- Yeah. - Anne?

- Yes.

You got what you wanted?

- Yes.

I admit I'm a bit disappointed,

I still had some hope that you lied.

- Patience is blessed with success and everything as an end.

- Why didn't you correct-

Fuck.

- Yes?

- Anne, my name is Mikihov.

You know where I stand?

- I guess I do.

- I think we have a situation.

- You fucking shot at me.

- No, they just were the tires.

We could not let you go.

- Tell your guys not to come any closer.

- They won't.

The gun is not necessary.

- I'll be the judge of that.

- Listen, we owe you an apology.

Lots of misunderstandings.

- I'm not talking to you.

- Fair enough.

I'm sending you a familiar voice.

She's coming to you.

Isn't that what you want?

You should see her any minute now.

She's alone.

- Charlie?

- It's Katja.

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you come back here?

I told you to go directly to the airport.

- Turn off your headlights.

What's happening here?

- We have a problem.

- What?

Turn off your headlights.

I want to see you.

- Put the gun down.

They sent me to negotiate.

- Negotiate what?

I delivered the video.

- They think you made a copy.

- Is that what you said?

- No, but they saw you trying to upload something.

- I took pictures.

It's all I have, but it's gonna be enough.

- Listen, we can still make a deal.

- What deal do you want to make?

- Give me the pictures.

- They sent you for a cleanup duty.

- No, of course not.

How can you say that?

- Back off. - Anne,

you can't stay here, okay?

It's not safe for you. - Get lost.

- You better come with me.

Anne, Anne!

- Loufy, move.

Run, Loufy.

Go away!

- Come on.

- Anne, they found you.

They're right behind the house.

They're coming down towards you, just stay where you are.

Wait for me.

- Don't come closer.

- I don't have a choice.

There's only two of them left, I'm coming.

- Do not come any closer to me.

I'm warning you, I'll shoot.

- Anne, you don't understand, I'm coming with you.

We're leaving.

- Don't even try.

- Shit-

No, no!

Charlie, Charlie.

Help me get you inside please.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

It's all over, we're okay.

Don't worry.

Here.

Easy, easy.

Katja.

Katja!

- Here in the United States.

The polls have closed at 11 o'clock in the evening here,

have declared that Barack Obama has been elected

the next president of the United States.

Barack Obama and the democrats...

- Charlie, I still wanna keep calling you Charlie.

You will call me Anne.

I think it's better we keep it that way.

Had it happened one day later,

I would've been Elizabeth again, forever.

I was all packed up, I had my ticket.

Anyone else would've just up and left.

- Good morning.

Today's Wednesday, October 29th, 2008.

Our first story today is the powerful earthquake in Pakistan

that caused over 100 casualties.

The quake hit the southwest of the country at dawn,

close to the Afghan border.

A magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale.

The European financial markets remain euphoric.

Ranging things a rise by 9.2%

just a day after Wall Street's spectacular rally.

And out with the horrible .5% interest rate credit rate cut.

But our main story is still the US presidential election.

Today both Barack Obama and John McCain are in Pennsylvania,

one of the swing states that could send

the democratic candidate to the White House.

Though the republicans insist they can do it.

The latest polls show the-

And finally, sports.

- Loufy!

Loufy!

Loufy?
