"Well,we're not in this dry-rotten rain wash of a city because I like it or because it brightens my life any." "We're here because the goths are at the damn gate,plain and simple, and somebody's gotta man the damn gate." "And you're that somebody,harv?" "Yeah,sure.Why not?" "sweet jesus doesn't see anyone down there." "Should he keep looking?" "Oh,my back." "what's sweet jesus sayin'?" "He says it's cold down there."

"now getting you,your wife and your child out of east germany's very complicated." "A lot of people will be asked to jeopardize their lives for you." "A lot of money will be spent to set you and your family up in the united states, and what I'm getting tonight,buddy, just doesn't warrant that expense." "But I--what I gave you-- yeah,I could get it for a lotless sturm and drang,buddy." "What if." "I am able to reveal the identity of a soviet agent in britain's intelligenceservice--the mi6?" "You got a name?" "No." "I know precise datehe was debriefed in stockholm last summer and date of debrief in zurichthe previous winter." "No,I'm gonna needmore than that."

"I can hardly believe this,but vishnevsky seems b-bloody legitimateto me,james." "The more valuablethe real information, the biggerthe potential deception." "True genius,as churchill taught us, resides in the capacityto evaluate conflicting information." "You,jimbo,have true genius." "No,it's true." "You have that unique skillto find patterns within what seems like conflicting trivia and useless piecesof information." "And patterns,as every spyworth his salt grasps, are the shells of conspiracy." "Deceptionswithin deceptions." "Moves behind moves." "Well,don't get lost in the wildernessof mirrors." "mother." "okay,let's playthis one out." "Let's say vishnevskyis a disinformation agent." "He'd be programmedto give us his history chapter and verse without soundinglike he made it up." "Does thathave to be on?" "Prying ears,sport." "Bugs have been found." "How do we know the kgbisn't one step ahead?" "You know,that--that theyprogrammed vishnevsky to hem and haw his waythrough the legend?" "My nose didn't twitch." "My nose always twitcheswhen I sniff a phony." "And if vishnevsky is a black agent?" "Even if we know the defectoris a double agent, we play the gameas if we don't know." "We use the false informationthe russians are giving us against them." "Plus,we use somedisinformation of our own." "It's a delicate game,isn't it?" "More than you know." "But in orderto be a player,you gotta cross overinto the, uh,wilderness of mirrors."

"It's a lifetime of secrets,of countermoves and deception." "Those who do not wantto enter this world can leave nowwithout embarrassment." "To those who choose to stay,welcome to the company." "In my experience,russiansare always late for meetings and early for defections." "If vishnevsky's blown,harvey,the safehouse could be blown." "Yeah,I know that,sport." "That's why my nose istwitchin' to beat the band." "you wanna stop that?" "Yes,okay.Yes." "let's pack up." "Move out." "Sweet jesuspicked up the dog." "That means trouble." "Police!"

"His wife and kid'll probablyspend the rest of their lives in a labor camp." "Vishnevsky counted on me to gethim out,and I didn't do it." "How come every assetwe try and pull in winds up in frontof a firing squad?" "And why is all the informationwe're getting garbage?" "And how come the kgb knows moreabout what we're doing than we do?" "Why?" "I'll tell you why." "'Cause we're beingjerked around by a damn mole!" "Do you believethe sorcerer,jimbo?" "I believehe believes it." "If the leak really wasin the company's end, the mole in mi6 wouldhave to have heard it from the deputy directorof operations or the D.C.I.Himself." "That's a handfulof very powerful people." "Do you knowwhat you're saying?" "If he does exist,I will find that mole." "Believe me." "Well,use caution when shaking thosecorridors of power,jimbo." "pavel,you honor uswith your presence."

"Will you fight this battleby my side?" "Chaps in my departmentbelieve vishnevsky's claim to be rubbish,of course, but,uh,the whole affair has caused a b-bitof a shaking down of the tree, so we'll see if anybad apples fall out."

"It's always good to seean old crew buddy, but if we run intoeach other again, borisov,things might notbe so pleasant." "they... are you... in a ... go ahead,sir." "well,still stickingto your story, kritzky,that you're workingfor the state department?" "who is it out there,phil?" "It's that clown who up and proposedto my daughter,mr.President." "He's got your,uh,dailybriefing here in his hand." "He must be rising upin the ranks of the company pretty quickly,sir." "Kritzky?" "Well,don't let himstand out there,phil." "Send the poor sap in." "Son of a bitch." "what I am doing is I'm breeding a hybrid orchid known as the cattleya cross." "It comes in a rainbow of colors." "I plan on naming itafter my wife cicely." "That chair will neverhold your weight,harvey." "Your horticultural lesson'svery interesting,jim." "Well,crossing orchidsis a very long,very tedious process, not unlike the business of counterespionage." "You don't say." "I do say." "It can take 12 monthsjust to develop the seedpod and then another 12 months for that pod to sprouteven an inch or 2." "The eventual flowering, if there evenis a flowering can take five years." "Counterespionageis like that." "It requires the patienceof a saint, which you,harvey,do not have." "I'm here to tell you thatI'm going to the director to lay out my caseagainst your pal philby." "Adrian?" "What case?" "He blew the vishnevskydefection,for one thing." "He's a soviet spy,jim-- has been sincethe early '30s." "You are joking." "I don't joke about traitors." "That's rubbish." "Rubbish.I've known adrianfor 15 years." "He's been vetted a dozen times,and you know that,harvey." "And you know there are waysaround a lie detector test." "The russians are mastersat beating them." "You're not seriousabout this?" "I'm as seriousas a $5 whore, serious enough to flyacross the atlantic overnight sitting on a mailbag." "Adrian kim philby is working for the kgb." "As the company'scounterintelligence honcho," "I thought it was only fairthat you be warned." "And on top of that,I thinkwe should take precautions to make sure philby doesn't fly the coop." "Are you hearing meon this,jim?" "Take precautions." "You'll only make a foolof yourself,harvey." "I've got the son of a bitchby the balls!" "so do you stilldislike summer so very much?" "It's you." "Yeah,it's me,azalia." "Yevgeny." "I thought you were goneforever from my life." "I thought the worst,that I would neversee you again." "that." "that you would disappear,like my parents." "Well,I'm alive,azalia." "I'm well,and I miss you." "But." "where are you,yevgeny?" "Why did younot say good-bye?" "I'm sorry." "I can tell you nothing,other thanthat I'm doing my duty."

"I'm in america." "america." "Thanks for coming,buddy." "Wouldn't have missed itfor the world." "She's beautiful." "How the hell'd you find her?" "Well,she found me,I think."

"MaybeI'll settle down someday." "And maybe it'll snow in hell." "No." "Oh,come on,buddy!" "This party's gonnacarry on after we go." "There are lotsof single girls here." "Well,I'm on a short leash." "Gotta get back to berlinto handle my asset." "I thought the sorcererwas in D.C." "He doesn't want metagging along after him like a littlelost duckling." "I'm heading out tonight." "Oh,I see." "Poor jack has to go back to hislong-legged ballet dancer/asset,the rainbow." "Tough life." "Leo honey,everyone's waiting." "I'm coming." "Fine." "Starting to be tough." "Hey,what's that look?" "What look?" "That love look." "Aw,come on." "It's all overyour face,buddy." "There,you see?" "Come on,stay for a bit." "We'll go rowingin a couple days." "You can tell me all about her." "No.I'm on the 11:00 P.M." "Airmail charter to berlin." "Come on.You got a honeymoon to think of." "Yeah,if that's whatyou want to call it." "Two nightsat the hay-adams." "They want me backat work on monday." "Yeah,we all gotta makesome sacrifices,buddy." "There's a war on,a cold one." "So I've heard." "Leo,let's go!" "oh,don't worry,jack."

"Now keep the change,old boy." "hello,jack." "Your tradecraftis excellent." "Borisov." "We know you alwayscome by here,but we lose youafter that." "Every time,we lose you." "How do you do it?" "Don't makea mistake,jack." "We just want to talk." "Talk about what?" "The girl." "Who is she?" "I wish there was a girl,borisov." "Where does she live?" "We saw you with herat the restaurant,then again at the opera." "Who is she?" "It was the ballet,asshole!" "come again to east berlin,and we will kill you,jack!" "Do you hear me?" "We will kill you!" "at least have doc pattersoncheck you out." "I'm fine." "Maybe you can give mea hand with something then, if you're feelingall fine and dandy." "What do you got?" "It's these transcripts fromthe teardrop in sniper's flat." "What about 'em?" "I comparedthe surveillance tapes with the informationwe got from rainbow's silk." "And." "there are someminor discrepancies." "good... how.." "How do you knowour real names?" "Why do you risk coming herebefore the arranged time?" "Because what I haveto say can't wait,helga." "Your professor,your supposed savior,has betrayed you." "He works for the kgb." "He's what we calla disinformation agent, giving us variationsof the truth and trying to get usto spin our wheels and-- and to send using the wrong direction." "The silk I gave you wasfilled with valuable items." "You read it,jack." "Leftoversfrom a lousy meal." "All the good stuffwas edited out." "How could you know this?" "We bugged your apartment." "The professor was speaking with another scientistcolleague the other night." "When you left the room, theytraded secrets with each other, none of which ended upon the silk." "I must leave." "Lili,you don't understand." "It's over." "Now I have a truckaround the corner." "It has a compartmentwe can hide you in." "We need to get you out ofthe soviet sector now-- for good." "I cannot leave,jack." "I cannot." "The professor used you." "He is a soviet agent.Wake up!" "But I am awake,jack." "It is not." "I am awake." "It is not herr professorwho is a soviet agent." "It's me." "I have betrayed him." "I have betrayed you." "what?" "The kgb found out that we weregiving you information." "To this day,I do not know how." "They told methat ernst would be tried for high treason and shot." "They said I wouldnever dance again, because they would-- because they wouldbreak my kneecaps." "God,lili." "They promised ernstwould not be hurt if." "if you delivereddisinformation to me." "They said it wasthe only way out." "I took the silkto the kgb,who wouldedit the information." "I would give the new silkto you at the studio." "After each meeting,I was supposed to writea report about everything." "They knowyour identity,jack." "Borisov." "they tried to kill meto keep." "of course." "It was a charade to make me trust youeven more,wasn't it?" "they swore to meyou would not be hurt." "they did not tell me whatthey were planning to do." "I wanted to die,jack." "did you tell them thatyou're in love with me?" "Are you even in love with me,lili?" "Or are you that good?" "I love you more than anythingin this world,jack." "Lili,if he loves you,if he truly loves you, he would want youto save yourself." "youcould save us,jack." "you could saveus." "You could take us both." "It's too risky." "It won't work!" "We can meet tonight at 7:00 when the crowds will be thick." "It could work." "It must work.It is the only way." "Don't this to me,lili." "Please." "tonight at 7:00,my dearest." "mother himself knowsthat there is a kgb agent somewhere inside the britishintelligence community." "Jim knows that this agent,code name parsifal, was supposedly recruitedand trained in spain duringthe spanish civil war by none other than the soviet case officer known only as starik." "Your point?" "Philby was on assignmentfor the london times during the spanish civil war,allen." "James doesn't think you've madeyour case at all,harvey." "Mother's too close to this." "He's an unwitting pawnin starik's game." "I made sure that noneof our british friends received any memos concerningthe vishnevsky defection, yet jim here dines weekly withphilby." "They share information." "Jim,your officeis the only place where he could havefound out about vishnevsky." "Your line of reasoningis intriguing,but,uh, what if it's justa series of coincidences?" "In our line of work,coincidences don't exist." "Monday,january 1st,torriti's cable arrived on james angleton's desk." "Starting late afternoonon tuesday,january 2nd, radio intercept logsshow a dramatic increase in the volumeof cipher wireless traffic between the soviet embassy and moscow." "Now it seems to me that someonesomewhere pushed a button." "Jim,did you show philby the memoon vishnevsky's defection?" "It is standard that philby and ishared information." "Yes,I showed himthe vishnevsky memo." "Proves nothing." "A leak can comefrom anywhere-- a courier,a secretary,a nosy office worker." "I fed philby a barium mealto the effect that I could identifythe soviet mole inside mi6." "The very next week,a bunch of jokers in berlin tried to take meout of circulation." "I call thatproof positive!" "What mr.Torriti failsto mention in his report is that adrian philby knew everything about his hottest sourcein germany-- code name rainbow,code name sniper." "They're stillgiving us information on a weekly basis." "Now if adrian philbywere a soviet spy, would not operation sniper have been shut downimmediately by the kgb?" "Sniper is still delivering,isn't he,harvey?" "Yes he is,jim." "Then there youhave it,gentlemen." "He's delivering disinformation." "I suppose you're preparedto elaborate on that." "I suppose I am." "Yesterday I receiveda flash memo from my apprenticejack mcauliffe." "He's the manhandling rainbow." "The russians already knewabout the operation, and they turned rainbowinto their agent, which is why sniperwasn't shut down when philby passed it onto his handlers." "There are two." "There are five,seven." "different ways to interpret any given set of facts." "Oh,face it!" "Your buddy's a damn spy." "He's been betraying assetsfor years." "His actions have causedthe deaths of dozens,maybe hundreds." "Wake up!" "So who pushedthe bloody p-panic button?" "Maclean fled englandlast night." "What's the problem?" "Burgess went with him." "Burgess buggered offas well?" "Bloody little bastard!" "Starik figures you don'thave a lot of time to flee the country." "You brought your backuppassport,I hope." "So starik wants meto run for it?" "You don't have a choice." "In that,there's hair dye,a mustache,eyeglasses,$4,800 in $10s and $20s." "The car has clean plates." "Your route's written outfor you." "There'll be a boat waitingfor you in halifax." "You've been on the firing linefor a long time." "It's time for youto come home." "Home?" "I'm a c-c-communist and a m-marxist, but russia is not my home." "England is my home." "What I relishedall these years was the great game." "But I'm n-necessary." "Without me,starik has nothing." "Starik has another." "I hadn't thought of that." "Of course,he would do that,wouldn't he?" "Starik is bloody brilliant." "Philby didn't comeinto the office this morning, and there was no answerat his house." "Ernst?" "Faster!" "Come on!" "Any faster,and weturn over,mr.Jack." "it wasn't your fault,jack." "You offered hera ticket out." "She wanted to savethe professor." "I should have insistedthat she come with me." "It wasn't your fault." "She said the kgbhad caught on to her." "Said she didn't know how." "Let me ask yousomething,harvey." "Lili wasn't part of yourbarium meals,was she?" "'cause if she was,harvey,if she was." "sniper was my crown jewel." "I was readyto give up a lot." "but not sniperand not rainbow." "There's no way I'd putlili and the professor on the line." "On my mother's grave,kid." "Onwards and upwards." "yeah." "Onwards." "Whatever." "there... i have... anther?" "code.." "with... ..and when.." "you... this... but.." "..in one... we..."
