"♪Subtitles by♪  XQ2☻♥" "Next stop, Broad Street." "Broad Street will be next." "Upstairs." "This way." "He didn't come this way?" "Not up here, go back down." "Excuse me." "Go aheaf and park around the corner." "Visitors!" "You mind if I finish my teeth?" "Colonel, would you turn around, please?" "Sit down on the bed." "They're in the..." "The teeth are on the sink." "Look at me." "We are agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation." "Look at me!" "I'm talking to you.☻" "We received information concerning your involvement in espionage." "You can either cooperate with us right now or you'll be under arrest" " Do you understand, Colonel?" " No not really." "Why do you keep calling me Colonel?" "You need to get dressed." "We have to search your apartment." "Would you mind if I cleaned my palette?" "The paints will get ruined, otherwise." "It's just behind you, there." "I have a cloth myself." "Thank you." "Start searching the place." "Thank you." "All right, search the mattress, the bed, the floorboards, the chair," "Could you put that in the ashtray, please." "On the windowsill, there." "What's in the desk?" "Don't wanna get this ruined." "Don't say "my guy"" "He's not my guy." "Yes, he's your guy." "Who are we talking about?" "We are talking about a guy who was insured by my client." "So don't make him my guy." "OK, all right." "My point is, the guy insured by your client..." "He doesn't deny that any of these things happened." "These... "these" things?" "Yes, these five things." "Wait." "Hold it, hold it." "Not five things." "One thing." "Clearly it's five things." "Well, I'm sorry, it's not clear to me." "Five things?" "Explain it to me." "It's self evident." "OK, then, tell me what happened." "Tell me the story in a way that makes sense for five things." "Fine." "Absolutely." "Your guy..." "It's not my guy." "Insured by my client," "The guy insured by your client is driving down State Highway 19, when he loses control of his car and hits my five guys, the five guys who hired me to represent them because you're not honoring your claim." "You mean my client is not honoring the claim?" "The insurance company?" "Mr. Donovan, we're all clear on who's who here." "Except my client honors every claim." "They do, Mr. Bates." "Every single legitimate claim, up to the limit of their liability, which is $100,000 per accident in the case of this man's policy." "And this is one claim." "According to your description:" ""he hit my five guys"." "The guy insured by my client had one accident." "One, one, one... in losing control of the car and hitting five motorcyclists." "From their point of view, five things happened." "Well look, Bob, may I..." "Bob?" "Jim." "If I go bowling and I throw a strike, one thing happened." "Ten things didn't happen." "Jim, my guys aren't bowling pins, as much as your guy may have treated them as such." "Let me finish." "Let me finish." "If your house is insured for $100,000 and a tornado carries it away it carried away one house." "It didn't pick up every stick of furniture and destroy it in a separate incident." "If that is what you're saying, well then, there is never any limit to our liabibility, and that is the end of the insurance business." "And then, Bob, nobody is safe." "Watters, Cowan and Donovan, how may I direct your call?" "Good morning, Mr. Donovan," "Good morning, Alison." "I moved your AM meeting with Prudential, sir," "Why did you do that?" "I asked her to." "Is everything all right, Tom?" "Why don't you leave your stuff with Alison?" "Come on inside." "Something pretty important has come up." "Somebody's here to see us," "Natalie's getting your coffee." "Nescafe, cream, two lumps, right?" "That's right, thanks." " Lynn!" " Jim!" "Nice to see you again!" "How's the family?" "Great, good!" "Thanks, how's Annie?" "Homicidal." "We had the in-laws over for the holiday." "Well if she acts on it, she'll have good representation." "So what's up?" "OK, here's the thing." "The Soviet spy they caught, we want you to defend him." "Here's the indictment." "Wow!" "Not sure I wanna pick that up." "The accused doesn't know any lawyers." "The Federal Court tossed it into our lap, the Bar Committee took a vote, you're the unanimous choice." "It was important to us..." "It's important to our country, Jim, that this man is seen as getting a fair shake." "American justice will be on trial." "Of course, when you put it that way, it's an honor to be asked, but," "Lynn, I'm an insurance lawyer, I haven't done criminal work in years!" "It's like riding a bike, isn't it?" "You distinguished yourself at Nuremberg," "I was on the prosecution team." "Not the point." "You're no stranger to criminal law." "Jim, look at the situation, the man is publically reviled." "And I will be, too." "Yes, in more ignorant quarters, but, that's exactly why this has to be done and capably done." "It can't look like our justice system tosses people on the ash heap." "Suppose I did, what's the evidence look like?" "Pretty overwhelming." "Great." "Great." "Everyone will hate me, but at least I'll lose." "Well, what do you think, Tom?" "The firm will suffer, I have work here." "I think it's a patriotic duty." "It's an important mission." "I told Lynn the firm can't say no, and you'd have a tought time saying no too." "I think you have to defend the son of a bitch." "So, you're doing it?" "Doing what?" "Defending Abel, the Soviet spy." "I might." "I have to speak to Lynn..." "How do you know?" "Did they post it on the bulletin board?" "No, I was talking to Richard Earl." "Look, if I do this, I'm going to need your help," "Can you work tonight?" "Well, I have a dinner date, sir." "It's Tuesday!" "Right, no, I'm free." "Thank you sir." "But it's also an honor, when the Bar Association asked me because they wanna show that even a spy gets a capable advocate." "Well maybe it's the kind of honor we could do without," "Hey, honey, what are you doing home?" "I got stood up." "Well, that's despicable." "Who is this knothead?" "I'd rather not say." "Sit down, we just started." "People are scared, they're building bomb shelters to protect themselves from people like this man." "I go to the store people are buying canned food and potassium tablets." "It's all about this man and what he represents." "He's a threat to all of us, a traitor." " Who's a traitor?" " The Rosenbergs were traitors." "Who were they?" "They gave atomic secrets to the Russians." "They were Americans." "They betrayed their country." "But you can't accuse Abel of being a traitor, he's not an American," "Listen to yourself, you're defending him, already." "You're rehearsing it on me." "You said you were just thinking about it." "I am just thinking, but it's very hard." "Everyone deserves a defense, Every person matters." "Jim, what do we deserve?" "Do you know how people will look at us?" "The family of a man trying to free a traitor?" " He's not a traitor, Mary," " Yes, yes." "Roger, get that..." "Why do I have to do all the work?" " Wait till we say grace." " I'm hungry!" "He's the most unpopular man in this country and you're trying to take 2nd place!" "Yeah, and I'm 3rd." "Carol, you just dated the wrong guy." "Mary, don't make this an argument, we're not having an argument." "You're against him." "Am I for him?" "No!" "I'm not for the Russians spying on us." "What I'm for is that they have a defense in a court of law." "Which is why they call it a court of law" "Sorry, sir, didn't mean to interrupt dinner." "Hey, Doug," "No, not at all, Hi, Doug, Jim was just playing." "not a kangaroo court." "I'm not playing." "Go ahead Doug, you can join us for dinner." "We're having meatloaf tonight." "So, you came over to help Jim think about whether he's taking the case?" "No!" "We're taking it!" "It's exciting, isn' it?" "Lord, we thank you for the blessings we're about to receive," "Thy bounty from Christ, our Lord, Amen." "Good morning sir, My name is Jim Donovan." "These are my credentials;" "I'm a partner at Watters, Cowan and Donovan," "I was admitted to the New York Bar in 1941." "You have been charged with 3 counts and 19 overt acts;" "Conspiracy to transmit United States' defensive atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, conspiracy to gather secrets, and failing to register as a foreign agent." "Do many foreign agents register?" "If you don't mind my asking, sir, since your arrest, where have you been?" "I couldn't say for certain." "You don't know?" "They drove me to an airport, put me on a plane, then took me off the plane." "Somewhere hot." "It's hot, here." "Hot and very humid," "They put me in a room." "Were you beaten?" "No." "I was talked to." "Offers were made." "What do you mean?" "Offers of employment, to work for your government." "I was told if I cooperated, that no further charges would be made against me." "And I would be given money." "And you declined?" "As you see." "Well, of course I can't endorse that." "I feel duty-bound to urge you to cooperate with the US government." "Well, I said no." "Perhaps you could relay to your friends at the CIA that I meant it." "No, no..." "I don't work for the Agency." "I don't work for the government." "I'm here to offer my services as your legal counsel, if you accept them, as such," "I work for you." "If I accept you?" "Are you good at what you do?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty good." "Have you represented many accused spies?" "No, not yet." "This'll be a first for the both of us." "Yeah..." "All right." ""All right"?" "You accept?" "Yes, all right." "Good, OK!" "Let's start, here." "If you are firm in your resolve not to cooperate with the US government..." "I am." "Yeah." "Then do not talk to anybody else about your case, inside of government, or out." "Except to me, to the extent that you trust me," "I have a mandate to serve you, nobody else does." "Quite frankly, everybody else has an interest in sending you to the electric chair." "All right." "You don't seem alarmed." "Would it help?" "I would like materials to draw with." "That's not possible." "A pencil, a piece of paper, cigarettes." "Please." "Mr. Donovan, you have men like me doing the same for your country." "If they were caught," "I'm sure that you would wish them to be treated well." "What's your name?" "Francis Gary Powers." "Rank, service?" "First Lieutenant, United States Air Force." "Do you have any association with the Soviet Union, Lieutenant Powers?" "You kiddin'?" "Just answer the questions, Lieutenant;" "yes, no, or as simply as you can." "Do you have any association with the Soviet Union?" "Hell, no!" "Do you know why you're here?" "M hm!" "Is that a no?" "Yes, I mean... no, it's just "no"." "Yes, I have absolutely no idea why I'm here." " Eyes front, Lieutenant." " Yes sir." "How'd you do in there, Gary?" "Pretty good." "Think I got my name right." "You probably outscored Shinn, then." " Who's winning?" " Why that would be me." "Ah, deal me in." "So these are all mine." "I told you boys not to play with him." "OK, guys, here's the deal." "You've been selected for a mission which you are not discuss with anyone outside this room." "No one." "I don't care who you trust." "Wife, mother, sweetheart, the good Lord, when you pray at night, you don't tell any of 'em anything of what I'm about to tell you." "Each of you drivers has met certain qualifications." "High-level security clearance." "Excellent pilot ratings, in excess of the required hours flight-time in a single-seat aircraft." "We are engaged in a war." "This war does not, for the moment, involve men and arms, it involves information." "You will be collecting information." "You'll be gathering intelligence about the enemy." "The intelligence you gather could give us the upper hand in a full a thermonuclear exchange with the Soviet Union." "Or it could prevent one." "For public purposes, as far as your wife or mother or sweetheart or the good Lord above your mission does not exist." "If it does not exist, you do not exist." "You cannot be shot down." "You cannot be captured." "You work for the CIA now." "So Jim, I heard your guy is speaking with a phoney accent." "Does he keep that up all the time?" "Actually, I'm pretty sure that's just the way he talks." "He's got the Russian name, but a British passport." "I doubt that that's genuine." "So, Jim, where are we?" "I see here..." "Yes, Judge, you see," "I just don't think three weeks is going to do it, here." "We'be got a massive amount of evidence..." " You Want to postpone?" " Six Weeks." "I mean there's just myself and my associate." "Jim, is this serious?" "Sir?" "Is this serious?" "Yes, yes indeed, it is." "You can see in the file, ," "Jim, this man is a Soviet spy." " Allegedly." " Come on, Counseor!" "Your Honor!" "Of course, I salute you... we all salute you for taking on a thankless task." "This man has to have due process, but let's not kid each other." "He'll receive a capable defense." "And, God willing, he'll be convicted." "Come on Counselor, let's not play game with this, not in my courtroom." "We have a date and we're going to trial." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "I see your light on!" "Son of a bitch." "Can't wait to get back to Manhattan." "His light was on, rightt?" "Son of a bitch." "hasn't changed..." "Oh!" "Excuse me." "Pardon me, sorry." "Mr. Donovan." "What?" "What!" "CIA." "Yeah." "I just wanted to chat." "How's the case going?" "Case is going great." "Couldn't be better." "Has your guy talked?" "Excuse me?" "You met him." "Has he talked?" "Has he said anything yet?" "We're not having this conversation." "No, of course not." "No, I mean we, really, are not having it." "You're asking me to violate attorney client privilege." "Aw, c'mon Counselor!" "I wish people like you would quit saying: "Aw, c'mon Counselor!"" "I didn't like it the first time it happened today." "A judge said it to me twice." "And the more I hear it, the more I don't like it." "OK, well, listen, I understand attorney client privilege." "I understand all the legal gamesmanship." "And I understand that's how you make a living." "But I'm talking to you about something else." "The security of your country." "And I'm sorry if the way I put it offends you, but we need to know what Abel is telling you." "You understand me, Donovan?" "We need to know." "Don't go Boy Scout on me." "We don't have a rule book, here." "You're agent Hoffman, yeah?" "Yeah." "Of German extraction." "Yeah, so?" "My name's Donovan;" "Irish." "Both sides; mother and father." "I'm Irish, you're German." "But what makes us both Americans?" "Just one thing." "One, only one." "The rulebook." "We call it the Constitution and we agree to the rules, and that's what makes us Americans." "It's all that makes us Americans, so don't tell me there's no rulebook." "And don't nod at me, like that, you son of a bitch." "Do we need to worry about you?" "Not if I'm left alone to do my job." "From this moment forward you will not refer to the U-2 as a spy plane or reconnaissance aircraft." "You will refer to it as 'the article'." "The article has an 80 foot wing span, powered by a single Pratt and Whitney J-57 P-37 engine," "10,000 pounds of thrust, and a maximum speed of 430 miles an hour." "Which may not be quick, but at your cruising altitude of 70,000 feet, nothing'll come close to you." "70,000?" "The idea is the enemy doesn't even know you're there." "Looks kinda flimsy." "Every extra pound of weight costs a foot in altitude and we need to accommodate the cameras." "That's a 4,500 mm lens, times three." "A pin sharp panoramic camera 4 times as powerful as any aereal reconnaissance cameras we've ever used." "You're gonna be taking pictures, lots of pictures." "At 70,000 feet, the article can photograph 2,000 square miles of territory in one pass." "Now, drivers, give Agent Sumner your undivided attention." "The items you'll need on your mission are over here." "B camera Revere 8 model 40 magazine," "Keystone Capri K-25, silver, hollow handled, shaving brush, complete set of cipher tables on edible silver foil, specialist photographic equipment," "Yeah, we get the idea, thank you." "Excuse me, agent Bosco..." "Blasco?" "Sir." "There seems to be a subsection to this list here." "Most of this stuff came from his studio but the rest is from the hotel room he was holed up in." "Where we found him." "The hotel room, you searched?" "Well, yeah." "Can I see the warrant?" "The what?" "Yeah, explain this to me." "There was a warrant." "There was a warrant;" "a civil detention warrant for the arrest of an alien but there was no search warrant for suspicion of criminal activities." "So, the search and the evidence that is the fruit of that search, that's all tainted and should not be admitted." "What protections is he due, Your Honor?" "The man is not..." "The man is what?" "Rudolf Ivanovich Abel." "He is a Soviet citizen." "He's not an American," ""1886 Yick Wo v. Hopkins"" "The court ruled that even aliens, in that case, Chinese immigrants, could not be held to answer for a crime without due process of law including any alien who entered the country illegally." "The Department of Justice has its first allegiance to the United States." "I don't see how an alien, if he's here illegally, how he'd suffer deprivation of rights!" "Rights, as what?" "An American?" "Rights, as what, Counselor?" "We're in a battle for civilization." "This Russian spy came here to threaten our way of life!" "Now, we have courtroom of people waiting, get out there, sit beside the Russian." "Let's get this over and done with." "And your motion is denied." "He should take some insurance out on himself." "How did we do?" "In there?" "Not too good." "Apparently you're not an American citizen." "That's true." "And according to your boss, you're not a Soviet citizen, either." "Well, the boss isn't always right, but he's always the boss." "Do you never worry?" "Would it help?" "All rise!" "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." "First, you have to know what happens when an atomic bomb explodes." "There's a bright flash, brighter than the sun," "It can smash in buildings break windows all over town." "But if you duck and cover, like Bert, you'll be much safer." "There are two kinds of attack;" "with warning and without any warning." " What's going on here?" " Look it dad, this is really important." "When the war begins, the first thing they do is cut off all the water and all the electricity." "So, the first thing we should do is keep this filled, use the shower in your room, use the sink downstairs, the garden hose outside..." "Those are great ideas." "But Roger, I don't see this as being something you ever have to worry about." "Yeah but, when you hear the sirens, there may not be enough time to fill up the tub and sinks." "Not gonna be any sirens..." "What is this?" "When the bomb comes, the Reds will aim for the Empire State Building," "But the bomb goes off at 10,000 feet up." "In Life magazine, it's called airburst." "And if the bomb is 50 megatons, the blast ring goes out and out and melts everything from here to here, including where we live; here." "Yeah, right here." "But you know, Roger, no one is dropping atomic bombs on us." "But the Russians want to." "You know that Russian guy you're defending?" "He's here to get things ready for the guys who drop the bombs." "No, he's not here for that." "He's not even Russian." "He was born, we think, in northern England." "But he's a spy for Russia." "I don't even understand what you're doing." "You're not a communist, so why are you defending him?" "Because it's my job." "It never used to be." "[AFTER TEN DAYS OF TESTIMONY ABEL SPY CASE GOES TO THE JURY]" "In the case of the United States of America versus Rudolf Abel, as to the first count in the indictment, how do you find the defendant, guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty." "As to the second count?" "Guilty." "As to the third count?" "Guilty." "Your Honor, I make a motion to set aside these guilty verdicts against the weight of evidence." "Denied." "The jury is discharged." "Thank you, all." "I would like to add that if I were one of you," "I would have reached the same verdict." "Sentencing will be..." "November, 15." "The death sentence is not a foregone conclusion, don't worry." "I'm not afraid to die, Mr. Donovan." "Although, it wouldn't be my first choice." "You left this behind." "Oh, thank you." "Oh, thank you, very much!" "You've never asked me if the charges were true." "If I am indeed a spy." "This is how we do it." "The case against you matters." "Making them prove it matters." "The fiction is... whether you did it or not, doesn't matter." "The state has to prove it..." "that you're a spy." "So, you're not curious?" "No, not really, I always assumed you were an artist." "My wife, she's the artist." "She is a musician in the Children's Orchestra of Moscow." "What instrument?" "The harp." "Then she's an angel." "Standing there like that, you remind me of a man who used to come to our house when I was young." "My father used to say, "Watch this man!"" "So, I did, every time he came." "And never once did he do anything remarkable." "And I remind you of him?" "This one time, I was about the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards." "Dozens of them." "My father was beaten, my mother was beaten." "And this man, my father's friend, he was beaten." "And I watched this man." "Every time they hit him, he stood back up again." "So, they hit him harder." "Still, he got back to his feet." "I think because of this they stopped the beating." "They let him live." "[RU] *Stoyki muzhik... (стойки мужик)" "I remember them saying." "Stoyki muzhik!" "*" "It sorta means like, um, standing man." "Standing man." " Hello, Jim!" " Millie, you look a vision." "Mortie's busy getting kitted out." "But, come on in." " Scotch, Jim?" " Yes please, thank you." "Just a drop of water." "Your Honor." "Hello, Jim!" "Just going out, got a few minutes, though." "March of Dimes day, Millie is active." "Well, thanks for seeing me." "I just wanted to give you my two cents on the sentencing." "And I thought, maybe I should pester you at home, 'cause not all of my points are narrowly legal." "Yeah well, it's that kind of case." "Hope I wasn't too scratchy during the trial, but it's exactly what you say." "Nothing about this is narrowly legal." "There are bigger issues." "Bigger issues!" "Thank you, thank you." "Sir." "I think it could be considered, in the best of the United States, that Abel remain alive." "Why?" "I'm not saying I've made up my mind, but if he was going to cooperate and work with the government, he would have done it, already." " True, but the issue here..." " Excuse me!" "You can't say it's in the best interest of the United States that he spend the rest of his days in a prison cell." "How is this in the national interest?" "Not the incarceration itself, sir." "It is possible that in the foreseeable future, an American of equivalent rank might be captured by Soviet Russia." "We might wanna have someone to trade." "Wow!" "That sounds like spinning what-ifs." "You could do that till the cows come home." "It's my business, what-ifs, I'm in insurance." "And there's nothing implausible about this one." "It's entirely in the realm of what could happen." "It's the kind of probability that people buy insurance for." "If we send this guy to his death, we leave ourselves wide open." "No policy in our back pocket for the day the storm comes." "Nice speech." "Well, sir, there's also the humanitarian argument." "Should he die for doing the job they sent him to do?" "All right, Counselor..." "I gotta run." "Good seeing you, Jim." "I'll walk you out." "All rise." "United States' district court for the eastern district of New York is in now session, the Honorable Mortimer Byers, presiding." "Be seated." "The defendant will, please, rise." "In the measured judgement of this court, the following sentence based upon the jury's verdict of guilty as to each count of the indictment, is believed to meet the test which has been stated." "Pursuant to the verdict of guilty as to all counts, the defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General of the United States, for imprisonment in a federal institution, to be selected by him, for a period of 30 years." "Marshals you may take the defendant into custody." " No electrocution?" " No, no!" "Why aren't we hanging him?" "In the name of God, why aren't we hanging him?" "Sit down, sir!" "He's a spy!" "You're killing us with lies!" "In the name of God, why aren't we hanging him?" "That's right!" "He's a spy!" "Mr. Donovan!" "Mr. Donovan!" "One question, Just one question, sir," "My hat!" "My hat!" "Nobody here has a comment, Mr. and Mrs. Donovan will not answer questions." "How you feel now this national nightmare is over?" "Mr. Donovan, are you happy with the verdict?" "We're on firm ground on..." "for a case on appeal." " Appeal?" " Appeal, yes." "Jim, you did a great job." "You fulfilled your mandate and then some." "But the man is a spy." "The verdict is correct and there's no reason to appeal." "There's ample procedural reason." "We know the search was tainted and Fourth Amendment issues will always weigh more heavily in an appellate forum." "We've a good shot." "What the goddam hell are you talking about?" "We were supposed to show he had a capable defense, which we did." "Why are you citing the Goddam Constitution at me?" "Tom, if you look me in the eye and tell me we don't have grounds for an appeal, I'll drop it right now." "I'm not saying that." "You know what I'm saying." "Tom's saying there's a cost to these things." "That's right." "A cost to both your family and your firm." "I miss music." "They checked the radio to make sure there was no transmitter." "I'm sure they did." " Shostakovich." " Hm!" "He's a very great artist, Shostakovich." "I think our strongest grounds for a reversal are constitutional." "Our best chance is if the Supreme Court agrees to review our case." "Jim... you should be careful." "Careful." "TV: ♪ 77 Sunset Strip ♪" "Edward Byrnes" "♪ 77 Sunset Strip ♪ and Richard Long" " Good morning Suzanne" " Good morning Jeff." "There is a special delivery letter, here, for you." "Oh, perfect." "MOM!" "My God, what happened?" "Honey, are you all right?" " Mom!" " Are you hurt?" "I've got her." "Upstairs!" "Are you alright?" "Are you OK?" "Are you alright?" "Daddy, I sat with my back against the wall!" "Away from the windows." "Good, good, good..." "Good, good boy." "Good boy." "It's all right, they're gone." "They're gone." "The cowards, they're gone." "We have detectives canvassing the neighborhood." "Maybe we'll find a description of the car, but I don't think it really likely." "We're gonna need protection." "I have instructions to leave two cars here." " It'll be pretty obvious that your house is..." " For how long?" "I have to be in Washington later on this week." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing to your family?" "Pardon me, officer?" "You're still defending this guy?" "What are you fighting for him for?" "OK, knock it off, officer." "I'll knock off nothing, I was in 3rd wave at Omaha Beach." "Waddaya think about that?" "I did my time in the service." "We're fighting these guys and you're defending them?" "Why not do your job as an officer of the law?" "OK, I'm sorry." "Let's go outside." "It's forgotten." "What am I not getting, here?" "Outside, officer!" "Sorry." "Defending a commie spy!" "You think you deserve this, protection?" "Should it become necessary to abandon the aircraft over Soviet territory, now, there's a 2½ lb explosive charge contained within the fuselage." "First... you activate the circuits." "But to start the 70 seconds timer, you need to flip the switch marked 'Destruct'." "It is imperative that these flights remain a secret and this equipment does not fall into enemy hands." "What about us?" "I don't know if you're kidding, Lieutenant Powers, I'm not!" "What you know about the plane is as secret as the plane itself." "If capture is a foregone conclusion, you go down with your plane." "Now, if you think you can ditch and get away;" "if you're close enough to a border, fine," "You know the ejection protocol." "But if you ditch you bring the dollar with you." "Right, there's a pin inside." "Just scratch your skin..." "anywhere, it's instantaneous." "If you think you are about to be captured, you use it." "Drivers, you understand me?" "Spend the dollar." "Mr. Chief Justice, may it please the Court, the Cold War is not just a phrase, Your Honors." "It's not just a figure of speech." "Truly, a battle is being fought between two competing views of the world."

"Supply at 1,800 psi." " Inverter?" " On, light out." "He was treated as a combatant in that war, until it no longer suited our government, to so treat him." "Accordingly, he was not given the protections we give our own citizens." "He was subjected to treatment, that however appropriate for a suspected enemy, was not appropriate to suspected criminal." " Fuel transfer?" " Transfer switch, off." "Destructor?" "Destructor, safe." "Bomb device." "Installed, in aircraft." "I know this man," "If the charge is true, he serves a foreign power, but he serves it faithfully." "If he us a soldier in the opposing army, he is a good soldier," "He has not fled the field of battle to save himself." "He has refused to serve his captor." "He refused to betray his cause." "He's refused to take the coward's way out." "The coward must abandon his dignity before he abandons the field of battle." "That, Rudolf Abel, will never do." "Shouldn't we, by giving you the full benefit of the rights that define our system of government, show this man who we are?" "Who we are." "Is that not the greatest weapon we have in this Cold War?" "We will stand by our cause less resolutely than he stand by his?" "The President announced that a NASA weather plane disappeared four days ago in northern Turkey, and the Space Administration fears that its pilot died in the crash." "Radar showed the plane wandering off course, deep into Soviet territory before contact was lost, complicating any effort to recover it, or the remains of the pilot." "Now, to news out of Washington." "In a close vote, today, the Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Russian spy Rudolf Ivanovich Abel;" "five votes to four." "The case presented civil liberties issues according to the Russian's lawyer, James B, Donovan." "When asked how he felt with today's loss," "Mr. Donovan simply said, "Tired"." "I'll have more news for you after the commercial." "It's over." "Marty." "I'll be damned if I can find the file on that Prudential case."

""I'm taking the liberty to write to you after having learnt from the newspapers" ""about your most humane attitude towards my beloved husband, Rudolf Abel"." "And do I write back?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "What's the next move when you don't know what the game is?" "Francis Gary Powers, based on Article Two of the USSR Laws on criminal responsibility for state crimes to 10 years of confinement, with the fast three years to be served, completed." "The terms of the punishment, including provisional detention, shall be counted from May first nineteen hundred and sixty..." "Mr. Donovan, thank you so much for coming." "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Dulles." "It's an honor, sir." "Nescafe, cream, two lumps." "Thank you." "OK, this letter you received... seems pretty clear the Soviets are making an ouverture here." "They're doing through East Germany because they still don't want to acknowledge Abel's a Soviet citizen, much less a Soviet spy." "So... lot of fiction going on." "Yes, sir, but to what end?" "They got our guy, our spy pilot, we got their guy." "Prisoner exchange;" "I think that's what they're after." "Which could hardly be a surprise to you, Counselor." "It's an eventuality that I think you froresaw." "Yes, I sure did." "And I am so rarely right." "Well, congratulations, red letter day." "Now, they got our man over there, Powers." "A good man, but with a headful of classified information." "Abel has a headful of classified information, too." "Though he hasn't given us a lick." "Yes sir, take it from me, he won't." "Yes, we know that, but the Russians don't." "They want their man back before he cracks." "And we want Powers back for the same reasons." "I think you are saying, sir, that there might be a happy ending for everyone." "Yes, if we indulge their fiction." "We want you to negotiate the swap because you're a private citizen, so it's not governments talking." "They don't acknowledge Abel as a Soviet citizen and we don't acknowledge East Germany as a sovereign country." "We haven't recognized East Berlin since it was annexed by the Soviets in '45." "So I act as a negotiator, representing..." "You're not representing anybody." "You aren't a government official, you've no official standing." " So, some fiction on our side, as well." " Correct." "Which means, of course, you can't rely on any acknowledgement or help, if things go south." "The CIA can't be responsible." "We can't be embarrassed." "Where do they want this negotiation to take place?" "There." "There?" "East Berlin." "But isn't East Berlin getting rather..." "Oh yes, the place is getting complicated." "Yeah, complicated." "The Soviet side has been setting up checkpoints for the past few months to try to stop people hemorraging to the Western sectors and it hasn't worked." "We have intelligence to suggest that they may go one step further, and wall off the entire eastern sector." "OK, that's it, in a nutshell." "The decision is entirely yours." "If you need time to kick it around..." "No." "No, I don't." "Well fine, fine!" "This all remains confidential." "Don't discuss any of this with Mary or with anyone else." "Share your correspodence only with us." "Let us know what they wanna do and when." "I've got no client, no wife, no country." "I don't know what I'm doing or when or who for." "You're doing it for your country, but your country doesn't know that, yet." "What about my client, the other person in this equation?" "My guy." "Your guy?" "Mean the Russian?" "He's not your guy, anymore, Counselor, your guy is Francis Gary Powers, now." "What do I tell Rudolf Abel?" "Tell him not to drop dead." "Professor?" "Professor?" "Father went to the university." "You shouldn't be here, Frederic!" "They're having classes today?" "He went to see." "That's where he goes." "What are you doing here?" "I came to get you and your father." "You have to come with me, you might not get out tomorrow." "J-just leave?" "Yes, yes, leave!" "Right now." "Go back, go back." "I'll be OK, I'm American." "Go back." "Go back to your father." "Find another way." "Go." "[GER] *Stop!" "Who are you?" "*" " I'm just leaving." " Stop!" "So, hi." "Papers, please." "I'm a student, Frederic Pryor." " Student?" " Yes, student." "What have you got here?" "No photos!" "My name is Frederic Pryor, I'm an *economics student. - *Wirtschaftstudent" "See?" "This is my dissertation, my *thesis, um, *Diplomarbeit." "Look, "The Foreign Trade System of European Communist Nations"." "It was lot of work." "Kommunist?" "*" "No, it's my only copy," "No!" "Tell me something." "It came up at the last minute." "They have offices in London." "It's the client's, not my idea." "Scotland, a fishing expedition." "What kind of fishing trip, Jim?" "Salmon fishing." "Just tell me that you're not gonna be in any danger and that this is just a routine business trip and I won't worry." "I need my passport." "Just give me something to hold onto, I don't even care if it's the truth." "I'm doing this for us." "[CENTRAL AIRPORT]" "Mr. Michener, here, is your Berlin escort." "He's an attache at the US Embassy." "So, it's got goddam complicated!" "As you know, the last letter from Mrs. Abel, whoever she is talks about a lawyer in East Berlin, Mr. Vogel, whoever he is, representing her interests, she says." "Yeah, Vogel said he's gone to the Russian Embassy in East Berlin and they may be ready to trade the Abel for Powers." "But no one knows who's who, but essentially they're all Russian, right?" " Well, Soviet." " We think so." "What do you mean?" "Could we turn up the heat, in here?" "There's a wrinkle." "They might try to throw you a curve ball." "They'll try yo get you to accept another prisoner other than Powers." "Another American?" "The East German Stasi picked up an American student, Frederic Pryor." "A kid they found on the wrong side of the Wall, he's a grad student outta Yale, came over here to study economics." "So they're making noises about trying this kid for espionage." "Great offense; capital crime!" "Well, Vogel got in touch with us, said he represents Pryor." "Wait, Vogel represents Mrs. Abel and this kid?" "Yeah, he's busy." "10:00 am 01:13:17,948...  01:13:19,072 So what is he?" "Vogel, is he East German or is he Russian?" "Try to figure it out when you meet him." "Russian Embassy, East Berlin, noon tomorrow." "Hoffman will show you how to get there." "What, show me how to get there?" "I'm gonna have an escort." "Right?" "Well, that was the plan, but, like I said, there's a wrinkle." "I won't be taking you." "Decision's been made;" "no US Gvernment personnel across the border until further notice." " How come?" " It's too dangerous." "The East Germans grabbed this kid." "There's a degree of impunity that we had not anticipated." "The point is that the East German agenda and the Russian agenda may not be the same thing." "Try to figure it out and act accordingly." "And try to make a deal;" "Powers for Abel." "What about this college kid, Pryor?" "Don't fall for that." "We can get him out another time, Powers is the whole ball game." "Where is your room?" "I'll be staying at the Hilton." "It's not far." "This is the number here in West Berlin." "Memorize it and give it back to me." "No, no, I mean, now." "The Soviets keep cutting the international lines but local calls are OK." "Someone'll pick up, day and night." "Now, this docket attached to your passport will serve as your ticket into and out of the Eastern Soviet Sector." "The meeting with Vogel is set for noon, tomorrow." "There are only a few routes left to the east." "You take the S-Bahn, the station we showed you on our way in." "You're gonna get off at the Friedrichstrasse station here, and walk to the Soviet embassy on Unter den Linden, here." "Look at the map now, you shouldn't take it with you." "If you're looking at a map, you're an American, you're a spy." "You could well be detained." "Just avoid interacting with people generally." "You don't belong, so don't stick out." "Food is scarce over there, things are starting to fall apart." "There are gangs." "The rule of law is less firmly established, over there." "And definitely stay away from the wall." "On their side, there's a line cleared of buildings along the Wall, they call it the Death Line." "Cross it and you'll be shot." "Is there any *act in view, where I'm not either detained or shot?" "Don't worry too much about what Michener said." "No, I'm worried about what you're saying." "This kid, Pryor, that the East Germans have, how old is he?" "Twenty five, why?" "Same age as Dougie." "Who?" "Ah, an associate of mine." "Frederic Pryor." "[GER] *Sorry, I can't help you." "I can't tell you anything." "Is he not here, or can you not tell me where he is?" "I can't tell you." "Please tell me." "I need to know." "There must be someone who knows where... where he is." " What?" "Back in the queue!" " Please, back in the queue!" "OK, OK." " Who do you think are?" " I'm going to the Soviet Embassy." " Get back in line!" " Can't you hear?" " I'm American." " Do you have documents?" " I..." " Give me your passport!" "I must be at the Soviet Embassy at noon." "Noon!" "It's almost time." "This is my passport and here is... my..." "Visa." "Noon." "Please." " American?" " American." "Passport's in order The visa is correct." " You can go." " Thank you." "Good morning." "Next!" " Are you lost?" " You got lost." "Lost." "Yeah, yeah..." "The "Unter den Linden"?" " This is no bum." " A fine American drifter." " You speak German?" " Yeah, yeah." "I speak a bit." "So, we apologize, if this offends." "*But what an expensive coat you have!" " Eh..." "Coat..." " Can I try it on man?" " Let us try it on" " then we'll give it back." "We promise." "You can give us your money or" "You give us your coat and it'll cost you nothing." "All right." ""Unter den Linden"?" "Where is it?" "..." "For my coat." "Go straight ahead." "Then right." " Right." " Then take the second left.*" "Do you understand English?" "Yes sir." "I'm James Donovan, I'm here to meet a Mr. Vogel." "Mr. Vogel." "He doesn't work here, I'm supposed to meet him, that's all I know." "Mr. Donovan!" "So, we finally finally meet you!" "I'm Helen Abel." " How is our husband?" " He's fine." "How is my Rudolf?" "As good as can be expected." "And we will get him back, yes?" "This is our daughter." "How do you do?" "Lydia." "Are you Mr. Vogel?" "No!" "No no, I'm not Vogel." "I'm cousin Drews." "This is Rudolf's beloved cousin Drews." " Yes, cousin Drews." " I am cousin Drews." "Cousin Drews, yes." "I'm Helen Abel." "When will you see him?" "When will your government release him?" "I'm a little lost here, I'm supposed to meet a Mr. Vogel." "Oh, Mr. Vogel is our lawyer." "We were supposed to negotiate the exchange." "To bring Rudolf here?" "Yes, yes, to bring him here." "But it doesn't have to be unilaterally, do you understand?" "It has to be an exchange." "*But, he's not here?" "!" "Not here?" "Oh my, mama don't cry!" "*" "Mr. Donovan?" "Mr. Vogel." "No, no, ..." "My name is Schischkin, Ivan Schischkin." "I'm the Second Secretary of the Soviet Embassy." "It wouldn't be appropriate for Mr. Vogel to join us, he is a German national." "So you aren't here to..." "To facilitate this meeting." "Perhaps Mrs. Abel would like to compose herself privately, and let Mr. Donovan and myself 'to' talk." "Thank you." "So, I'm confused." "Yes." "I don't care who I talk to, if it's about an exchange of personnel." "Are you the person to talk to?" "Yes, yes, of course, we should talk." "Please have a seat, Mr. Donovan." "How did you arrive to the Eastern Sector?" "The train, S-Bahn." "And you were alone?" "Yeah." "And you are credentialed?" "You must know about me, sir, I'm a private citizen." "I'm a lawyer in Brooklyn, in the United States, and I've taken time out of my busy schedule to help my client, Rudolf Abel." "I'm authorized to arrange an exchange of Abel for Francis Gary Powers." "This is a full pardon of Abel that will be signed when the exchange actually takes place." "It's the only reason I'm here." "I hope and expect to make this arrangement quickly." "Abel for Francis Gary Powers." "And Frederic Pryor." "Oh, we don't have Pryor." "No?" "You don't?" "I've heard of Pryor, but he's held by the German Democratic Republic, not by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." "Well, I'll tell you the first problem." "The names of your countries are too long." "Yes, Yes." "If we release Powers, it is only to promote goodwill between our countries." "So, it cannot be an exchange." "Perhaps you could release Abel, as a token of goodwill to our friends in Germany, and then, some months later, we would release Powers." "There's an idea." "No, that won't work for us, at all." "See, we need this to be an exchange." "You can call it what you want, but, an exchange, it must be." "We can have Abel here in 48 hours." "We need Powers at the same time we give you Abel." "Mm, this is..." "Can we call this the 'impatient' plan?" "Well, you can call it whatever you want." "I can relay your impatient plan to Moscow, see what they say, but they will wonder; why so impatient?" "Because I have a cold." "And don't like living in Berlin and I wanna go home." "They will think, well, Americans must have got all the information that Abel had to give, and now they are impatient to trade him, hoping to get in return this man, Powers, that perhaps has not yet given up all the information that he has to give." "This is not an equitable trade, sir." "But what you're saying is, if Powers has given up everything he knows, then Moscow would trade?" "Why wouldn't they?" "As for Abel, if he dies in an American prison, the next Russian operative who gets caught, might think twice about keeping his mouth shut." "And you never know, Abel might want to see the sky again and decide to trade Russian secrets for small American favors." "How can we know this?" "We little men, we just do our jobs." "Like Lieutenant Powers." "He's just a pilot." "He was making photographs from 70,000 feet when he was shot from the sky." "People in my country consider this an act of war." "We have to get off this merry-go-round, sir." "The next mistake our countries make could be the last one." "We need to have the conversation our governments can't." "I will ask Moscow." "Who knows what they'll say?" "There are a lot of people, Mr. Donovan, who 'doesn't' want this exchange to ever take place." "Can you come back tomorrow to discuss their answer?" " Powers for Abel." " And Frederic Pryor." "As I said, Pryor is in the hands of the organs of State Security of the German Democra..." "I'm confident you can make arrangements." "I'm merely a secretary in the embassy of foreign power." "OK, OK." "You have to see Mr. Vogel, I'll give you his address." "There actually is a Mr. Vogel?" "!" "Why would you imagine otherwise?" "It's a short cab ride." "And please, Mr. Donovan, wear an overcoat in this weather." "I had mine stolen from me." "What did you expect?" "It was from Saks Fifth Avenue." "Wasn't it?" "Mr. Donovan." "Mr. Vogel." "Please come in." "Sorry about the embassy." "But, the Soviets decided not to host me." "That's irritating." "I am still trying to grasp each party's..." "Status?" "Yes." "And interest in the proceedings." "It's a new world." "All very disorienting, isn't it?" "Let me tell you what I have to offer." "I'm a good friend..." "'Friend'?" "No, he's older." "'Protege'?" "... of the Attorney General of the German Democratic Republic." "Sit down, please." "This unfortunate," "Frederic Pryor, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time." "But every accident, properly viewed, is an opportunity," " isn't it, Mr. Donovan?" " Well..." "Your country refuses to recognize the German Democratic Republic." "They prefer to make up stories that the GDR doesn't exist, for instance." "Sorry." "As a means of forcing your government's recognition of this real place, sir, in which you find yourself, the GDR, the Attorney General is happy to negotiate with you, as a representative of your government," "for Mr. Pryor's return." "Mr. Vogel, I'm not here as a representative of my government." "All right." "I think that's childish, Mr. Donovan," "I have no official status." "Fine." "You do not represent the USA, I do not represent the GDR." "My client is Lydia Abel, Rudolf's wife." "And I have, also..." "Lydia is the daughter, Helen is the wife." "I am prepared to offer Frederic Pryor's exchange for Rudolf Abel's." "Well then, let's be clear, We will produce Rudolf Abel, you will produce, at the same time, the student, Pryor." "At the same time?" "Absolutely." "The exchange on offer is a Russian, at the end of his life, for an American student at the start of his." "Schischkin?" "He's not an embassy secretary." "Ivan Schischkin is the KGB's chief in Western Europe." "Whatever he is, he's relaying our proposal to Moscow and they'll decide." "Can I borrow a coat?" "I lost mine." "How did you lose your coat?" "You know, spy stuff." " I'll get you another coat." " Good, 'cause..." "So, who is this Vogel?" "Him, we don't know." "He might be, what you said, he said, he is;" "a friend of the Attorney General." "Just some guy that GDR tapped to take handle this." "Sounds like the East Germans are fighting for a place at our table." "The GDR gets Abel back for the Russians, winnning their respects and capturing the headlines for their cause." "Which, of course, puts East Germany on the map." "But, we don't care about their map." "Stick with the Russians." "Stick with the Russians." "It's Powers for Abel." "So, does all this mean this might actually happen?" "Yeah, that's what you seem to be telling me." "We'll put Abel on a plane, he'll be here Friday." "So, if Schischkin gets the OK, all that's left is the mechanics of the trade;" "how we swap our guy for their guy." "Our GUYS." "TWO guys, Powers and Pryor." "No, now, don't go bleeding-heart on me." "Powers is the whole ball game." "Forget this Ivy League boy who obviously thought it was a good idea to study Soviet economics in Berlin in the middle of the Cold War." "Powers is who we need." "You don't even like Powers." "Everybody hates Powers." "He didn't kill himself and he let the commies parade him on television." "He's the most hated man in America." "After Rudolf Abel, maybe." "And me." " Wake up!" " *Davai!" "* (RU:" "C'mon)" "I gotta sleep." "I just gotta sleep." "I told you can sleep once we talk what we need to talk." "You must focus on me." "Your government doesn't care about you, you know that." "Any of you." "You know that twelve U2 pilots incurred brain damage?" "They're vegetables because of altitude and insufficient oxygen." "But they keep you flying Gary;" "you and your friends." "They gave you this; a scratcher, yes?" "Potassium cyanide." "Does that look like they care about you?" "What is the construction of the destructor unit?" "By what means is this unit operated?" "With what explosives is the unit charged and what destruction is it capable of?" "I don't know." "The pilots were never shown any of the equipment." "How wide far can the radar map an area during a normal flight?" "I dunno, I dunno!" "Were you making the overflight on April 9th over the industrial area and MiG bomber base in Baranovichi?" "No, this was my first overflight." "I need to know about engine out-glide ratio." "How the plane gets so high." "We know it reaches altitude of 70,000 feet." "Gary, we know this." "And I need to know where the planes have flown." "Where they have flown, Gary." "And we must have this talk, now." "Now." "And then, you can sleep." "Sir, wake up." "Wake up, sir." "Sir, can you come with me, please?" "Yeah." " We gotta move." " Yeah, 'course." " Can you come with me, please?" " Yeah." "OK!" "Got your glasses?" "What time is it?" "It's late, but we need to talk and then we need to get on a plane, OK?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Upsie daisy!" " Upsie daisy." " That's right." "Here we go." "Keep it moving." "Thank you." "Other way, other way." "There we go." "Did you say a plane?" "This way please, keep moving." "So, I received a favorable decision from Moscow on your proposal that we help our friends in the German Democratic Republic, by exchanging Mr. Powers for Mr. Abel." "That's swell." "May I suggest the Glienicke Bridge as the place of the swap?" "Why not Checkpoint Charlie?" "No, no, we're not looking for publicity." "The Glienicke bridge is very quiet, especially early in the morning." "Glienicke Bridge." "I'll run it by our side." "We can have Abel here on Friday." "So, Saturday morning?" "Always impatient, yes?" "I wannna get home and get into bed." "So, Saturday morning?" "5:30?" "All right!" "We're done, here." "This is the number, in case anything should come up." "All right." "Someone will answer at any hour." "I don't expect to use it." "Shall we toast the arrangement?" "Why not?" "Armenian brandy, a good brace for your cold." " Thank you." "Would you mind if..." "This is not part of our business, but I'd like to ask you a couple of questions." "You do not have to answer." "I shall answer, what I know." "I like this guy, your guy." "What happens to your guy, when he gets home?" "Well, we have to make a determination whether our guy is now your guy." "Now, as I said to you before, he's acted honorably." "He's still your guy, believe me." "Of course, you would say that, if it were true... and if it were not true." "I guess it has come down to that, hasn't it?" "Well, forgive me for pushing, but is he in any danger if the determination is made?" "Well, goodness... as things are, now, everyone is in danger." " Cheers." " *Nazdorovia.*" "[RU] *Excuse me." "I have a message for Mr. Donovan.*" "There will be no exchange on Glienicke bridge," "Excuse me, sir!" "There will be no exchange." "Not for Frederic Pryor." "Mr. Vogel, I thought yesterday we had agreed." "We agreed on an exchange of Abel for Pryor." "Now I learn you are a rug merchant, selling the same rug to two customers." "Abel for Pryor, you sell to us..." "Yeah." "...and Abel for Powers, you sell to the Soviets." "I'm not quite sure what the problem is." "If the arrangement satisfies two parties, or three or four, what difference does it make?" "The arrangement does not satisfy this party." "Look now, Mr. Vogel..." "Obviously, you do not know who you are dealing with." "Here's interest the German Democratic Republic:" "to deal and to be seen to be dealing with another sovereign power, the United States;" "an equal power." "Instead, you treat us as stooges for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." "Can we just call them the Russians?" "It'll save time." "I have an appointment, sir, I think it's you who are wasting time." "Now, tell me if I'm describing this wrong." "You have a kid, a university student, someone you know is not a spy, who's no threat to you, and in excchange for this person who is worthless to you, you play an equal part in an exchange between the Russians and the Americans." "And this is one transaction between us and the you two." "We're not trying to do two things here, sir We're just doing one thing." "One, one." "It's hard for me to see how the Republic East German Democrats is being slighted." "You agreed with the Soviets without consulting me." "Is this is a negotiation or a conspiracy?" "For it to be conspiracy, there would have to be harm to you, sir." "There's just benefits here, We have agreeing interests" "No, you decide they agree!" "Where is your appointment, sir?" "In the West, Ku'damm." "Good." "Look around you, how does the Eastern Sector compare with the West?" "Our Russian friends have decided that we should not rebuild our capital city." "We live in this ruin made by our Russian friends." "Go ahead, make your deal with these Russians!" "We won't be part of it." "There is no deal without Pryor." "We're not leaving him here." "Is this your decision, or your government's?" "Sir, I'm here." "I'm talking to you." "But you're not a representative of your government," "You don't know who you are." "Neither do we,." "You should be careful, this is not Brooklyn, Mr. Donovan." "Look, sir, you must know that in every respect that matters, I represent my government." "You know who I am!" "Do I?" "Oh, oh!" "Do you have the proper papers?" "Of course not." "It doesn't matter." "An American lawyer like you, can talk your way out of anything." "Can't you?" "[GER] Moving pretty fast!" " Yes, you're perfectly right." " Documents!" "Quickly!" " He doesn't speak German." " A colleague from America." " American?" "Get out." "C'mon." "Documents." " Herr Vogel, have a good journey." " Thank you for your cooperation.*" "You go with them." "Why?" "It's a passport problem." "What problem?" "What's the problem?" "You go with them." "And remember, we control the fate of Frederic Pryor." "[GER] *Get up." "Come with me." "My God!" "Yeah, I'll start with some coffee, please." "Then I'll have the Hilton combo and the American breakfast, and coffee." "Both breakfasts?" "Yeah, yeah." "One of them first or..." "Both." "First." "Whenever they're ready." "And coffee." "You shouldn't be here." "Sometimes, in Germany, you just want a big American breakfast." "What happened?" "Where were you last night?" "Vogel arranged for me to spend some time in the East." "Oh, Jesus Christ!" "Really, it's not that much worse than where you have me here in the West." "So, the Russians are fine with the exchange." "But now Vogel is saying that the East Germans won't do it." "We're not gonna get Pryor," "Great!" "Good," "So, the Soviets are set, we get Powers." "We get Powers." "Well done!" "No, the East Germans won't do it." "We won't get Pryor and it matters." "Every person matters." "Sure, that's why you tried." "That's why you tried." "Abel's on his way, so, we're all set for tomorrow morning." " Wait a minute." " Makes things simple." "We're not getting the kid." "Yeah, I understand, we're set." "We can ignore the message we got this morning." "What message?" "From the East Germans." "They called the number I gave you." "Said they wanted to speak to you, today." "Vogel called?" "No..." "Office of Harald Ott, East German Attorney General." "Wanting what?" "What does he want?" "Well, to talk to you, but, it's OK, I can't ask you to go back there." "You seem to be persona non grata to some elements, so we won't push our luck." "So, he wants to see me." "What time?" "No no, now, listen, you..." "You don't need to go." "In fact, you shouldn't go." "In fact, can't go." "We're set with the Soviets, we don't wanna screw it up." "I'm not gonna screw it up." "You're not going!" "Don't be a pain in the ass!" "I odereed." "Enjoy your big American breakfast." "I thought it should be negotiated at the highest level, as a courtesy to you." "I thank you, sir." "I don't know how things became so confused." "Well, I guess sometimes they just do." "For sake of clarity" "I say, we are fully prepared to exchange the so called student Pryor for Rudolf Abel." "I understand from Mr. Vogel, that Pryor is very important to you." "Yes but..." "And we'll do a memorandum to that effect!" "Ah, a memorandum." "Certaily, we commit to a 'bi' lateral exchange." "Yes, yes, sure." "I'm not sure what that means, but..." "My country also insists on Francis Gary Powers." "No!" "*Excuse me!" "This is how things became so confused." "Powers; what use is he, sir?" "You want him back for punitive reasons." "What's done is done." "He has divulged what he has divulged, no doubt Abel has, also." "We are offering, instead, someone who you insist is innocent!" "And this is right." "This is who you should retrieve." "The future." "Look to the future." "Ott." "Ott." "[GER] *So, I also took some." "So, that doesn't mean the newspapers..." "Where is he?" "Yes, tell him I appreciate that." "It'll soon be over...*" "I'm sorry, can you give me a moment, sir?" "I'm very sorry, sir, the Attorney General regrets that he had to leave on urgent business." "He left?" "Yes, many apologies." "I've been waiting over an hour." "I'm very sorry, sir." "Young man!" "Come here." "It's all right, come here." "Er, take a seat." "Oh, come on, come on, sit down." "You like your job, here?" "It's a very goood job, sir." "Must be!" "Must be interesting." "Oh, yes sir." "And important, too." "And your English is... is good!" "Yes, I hesitate to say it's excellent, but it's excellent, sir." "Good." "Good." "See, I just lost my negotiating partner and I need somebody to talk to." "and you seems like a reasonable young man." "Can I talk to you?" "It's all right." "It's all right." "I just need you to give a message to your boss." "But it has to be very, very clear." "You understand?" "Yes sir, but perhaps you should wait until..." "No no." "The thing is, I have this cold and I wanna get home get in bed." "Can you give him the message?" "Certainly." "Well, this is the is message:" "There's no deal for Abel unless we get Powers and Pryor." "Do you understand?" "Yes sir." "It's arranged for tomorrow morning." "It will not happen unless we get two men." "Those two men." " Two, two." "Two." " Yes sir." "If there is no deal, your boss must tell the Soviets." "He has to tell the Soviets that they are not getting Rudolf Abel." "Yes sir." "Oh, and tell him this." "That so far, Abel has been a good soldier, but, he thinks he's going home." "If we have to tell him that he's not going home, that the Soviets don't even want him, that he's never going home, now, I imagine his behavior might change." "And who will be held responsible for that?" "That's a long message." "Did you get it all?" "Yes sir, got it." "Good." "You're a good man." "Oh, and also tell him there's no deal unless we hear before the end of business today." "He has the number." "If the exchange isn't gonna happen, no reason for everybody to get up first thing in the morning." "No sir, that would be pointless." "You're kidding me!" "You're kidding me!" "Not really." "I need some change." "That is exactly what you weren't supposed to do." "My instructions were to feel out the situation." "Your instructions were to get Powers, not Pryor." "That was not the original deal." "You fouled it all up!" "How do you know?" "I feel pretty good about it." "You fucked it all up!" "Oh, don't worry." "I think it's gonna be fine." "How do you know?" "You don't know that." "[GER] *Foreign call, please" "United States New York, New York." "*Danke. (Thanks)" "Look, this whole thing has been to feel me out." "'Would I swap one for one, and which one?" "'" "But I said, no, two for one." "So they know where we stand." "Yeah, but what if they think about it and say, forget it, you keep our guy, we keep your guys." "Well, then I have fucked it all up." "Hey, honey, it's me!" "Yeah, the fishing's been great!" "I'm in London." "Just for one more meeting then I'm on my way home." "Yeah, I remember that marmalade." "It's that shop right by Regent's Park." "All right, I will if I have the time." "Hey, can I say hi to Roger?" "Could I say hi to the girls?" "Is anyone not busy?" "Have they even noticed I'm not around?" "We're on." "Two for one." "Hot dog!" "Let's have a drink." "One wrinkle." "What's that?" "They won't release Pryor with Powers, not at the bridge." "They'll release him at the same time." "When the Russians give us Powers on the bridge, they'll release Pryor over at Checkpoint Charlie." "What does that mean?" "I think it means, 'We wanna have the last word'." "But will they do it?" "You tell me, you felt them out." "Where are they?" "Our guy?" "Where's our guy?" "They're late." "Nobody's late, we're early." "May I?" "Yeah." "Hoffman." "Yeah?" "I think they have..." "What?" "...snipers." "Oh, I'm sure they do." "How are you sure they do?" "Because we have snipers." "Step out, sir." "Jim!" "Dear Jim." "How are you?" "Happy to see you." "Have you arranged all this for me?" "Well, let's what this is before I take credit for it." "Any word about Pryor from Checkpoint Charlie?" "Nothing happened yet." "Excuse me, sir." "This is Lieutenant Joe Murphy United States Air Force, here to identify Powers." "Lieutenant Murphy." "Sir." "There may be a slight glitch." "I was a young man when I left." "Who will they find to identify me?" "I hope it's not your East German family." "I doubt they could identify each other." "Looks like our party." "Well, let's go." "You can stay here, Donovan." "Not likely." "Open the gate." "What do you think will happen when you get home?" "I think..." "I'll have a vodka." "But, Rudolf, is there not the possibility...?" "That my people are going to shoot me?" "Yes." "You're not worried?" "Would it help?" "To answer your question, my friend," "I acted honorably, I think they know that." "But sometimes, people think wrong." "People are people." "Let's see how they greet me." "What can I look for?" "If I'm embraced, or just shown the back seat." "[RU] *Remove hat and glasses!" "Does your wife have a birthmark?" " Yes." " Where?" "Right breast.*" "Take off the hat." "Hey, Powers." "Hey, Murph." "Yeah, that's Powers." "All right, Mr. Donovan, We go now?" "Hang on." "Believe me, I will tell you." "There's no one here." "They're releasing another man at Checkpoint Charlie." "We're just confirming that he's there." "Now!" "As per plan, please." "Let's go." "Pryor will show up or he won't." "Let's go." "They're waiting to see if we'll do it without him." "We just have to stand here and show them we won't." "I don't give a shit what they want, We have our objective." "Go ahead, Abel." "Go ahead, sir, you can go." "If it is not to plan, we go home." "Exchanged now or let's go!" "We're waiting for another man?" "Yup." "You want him too?" "I want him." "Doesn't matter what he wants, sir, I'm in charge and you're free to go." "Please go." "Walk across." "*Stoyki muzhik. (standing man)" "I can wait." "It's something." "Not sure, yet." "Hang on!" "We got him!" "I sent you a gift, Jim." "It's a painting." "I hope it has meaning to you." "I'm sorry, I didn't think to give you a gift." "This is your gift." "This is your gift." "Go, go, go!" "Mr. Donovan." "Colonel Abel asked me to give this to you." "Pardon, sir." "Are you in charge of this thing, sir?" "Yeah." "Well, I gotta thank you." "I gotta thank somebody." "I gave'em nothing." "I gave'em nothing." "It doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter what people think." "You know what you did." "Welcome home!" "What a trip!" "Are you OK?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Did you get the marmalade?" "Yes, yes, yeah." "Yeah." "I did." "As ordered." "Jim..." " this is from Arno's," " So?" "It's around the corner!" "Well, honey, I was busy, I'm sorry," "Oh, for Pete's sake!" " How's Roger?" "Is he home?" " He's home." "Carol's home too, and Peggy." "Everyone's home," "Mom!" "Come quick, look!" "Mom, come here!" "Come see this!" "Look!" "Watch!" "Come on!"
