"How do you know I'm mad?" "Said Alice." "You must be, said the cat," "Or you wouldn't have come here." "I think we may have over stayed our welcome here." "20 minutes late." "I don't think our prospective Joe is gonna show up, sport." "We should go." "What are we doing here, Harvey?" "What are we doin' here?" "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, Hard?" "Yeah,sure." "Why not?" "sweet Jesus doesn't see anyone down there." "Should he keep looking?" "Oh, my back." "what's sweet Jesus saying'?" "He says it's cold down there." "They say there are 7,000 spies in Berlin, all ready to put down cold cash for secrets." "Oh, maybe we got outbid." "Quiet!" "he's here!" "I am Constantine Vishnevsky." "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 lot less sturm and drang, buddy." "What if." "I am able to reveal the identity of a soviet agent in Britain's intelligence service--the mi6?" "You got a name?" "No." "I know precise date he was debriefed in Stockholm last summer and date of debrief in Zurich the previous winter." "No, I'm gonna need more than that." "With that information, even a child could identify him." "Wait!" "Wait." "I give you the recording of this soviet mole's last debrief." "I give you the man's voice." "since last night," "I have been meticulously cross-referencing Vishnevsky's information from the sorcerer's." "His bona fides match my information." "good." "Keep me informed." "Will do." "Any s-spies in the house?" "Adrian, take a load off." "Tell me what worlds you've conquered this morning." "You and your damn cards." "How do you keep track of them all?" "Well." "certain cards simply cry out for me." "I am their mother." "A s-soviet mole in mi6." "It can't be." "Everything in the sorcerer's report checked out." "Sorcerer plans on smuggling Vishnevsky and his family into west Berlin tomorrow night." "KGB won't even know he's missing till we have the tape in hand." "I can hardly believe this, but Vishnevsky seems b-bloody legitimate to me, James." "The more valuable the real information, the bigger the potential deception." "True genius, as Churchill taught us, resides in the capacity to evaluate conflicting information." "You, jimbo, have true genius." "No, it's true." "You have that unique skill to find patterns within what seems like conflicting trivia and useless pieces of information." "And patterns, as every spy worth his salt grasps, are the shells of conspiracy." "Deceptions within deceptions." "Moves behind moves." "Well, don't get lost in the wilderness of mirrors." "mother." "okay, let's play this one out." "Let's say Vishnevsky is a disinformation agent." "He'd be programmed to give us his history chapter and verse without sounding like he made it up." "Does that have to be on?" "Prying ears, sport." "Bugs have been found." "How do we know the KGB isn't one step ahead?" "You know, that--that they programmed Vishnevsky to hem and haw his way through the legend?" "My nose didn't twitch." "My nose always twitches when I sniff a phony." "And if Vishnevsky is a black agent?" "Even if we know the defector is a double agent, we play the game as if we don't know." "We use the false information the Russians are giving us against them." "Plus, we use some disinformation of our own." "It's a delicate game, isn't it?" "More than you know." "But in order to be a player, you gotta cross over into the, uh, wilderness of mirrors." "Angleton's words, not mine." "What if I don't want to?" "You already have." "push!" "Set three, push!" "Set four!" "Five!" "congratulations!" "Uh, hello." "Who in the devil was that?" "Yevgeny Tsipin--thief of raccoon coat as well as girlfriends." "And she's slipping away." "So are you a stalinist or a marxist, Yevgeny?" "I'm neither." "I'm A." "a Tolstoyist." "And who knows what that means?" "well, Tolstoy spent most of his life searching for a unifying theory-- a single key that would unlock every door." "Booze?" "a universal explanation for our poverty, our politics, our passions." "Economics." "My parents were chased out of Russia by the Bolsheviks, and here I am rooming with one." "You know, that is very insulting, Leo." "It's very insulting." "I am not a bolshevist--Bolshevik." "what I am is, um." "I'm--I'm--I'm drunk." "one final toast." "To all the good talks we've had along this river when we probably should have been studying for exams." "This is probably the last of our talks, gents." "And Stella." "The troika." "the Truman doctrine of 1947 promised that America would aid free peoples everywhere in the struggle against totalitarianism." "The principal instrument of American foreign policy in that struggle is the central intelligence agency." "Make no mistake about it-- western civilization is under attack." "It is a war of attrition and a very thin line of patriotsmans the ramparts." "Who will remain standing the longest?" "Class of '46." "Skull and bones." "Elliott ebbitt iii." "Call me ebby." "Jack McAuliffe." "Leo kritzky." "Class of '50." "How'd you know we were Yale?" "Please." "So how'd you two get tapped?" "our crew coach." "You?" "O.S.S. In the war." "There are no textbooks on spying." "You make it up as you go along." "And the real world of espionage is less glamorous and, uh, a lot more dangerous than any fiction writer can imagine." "It's a lifetime of secrets, of countermoves and deception." "Those who do not want to enter this world can leave now without embarrassment." "To those who choose to stay, welcome to the company." "In my experience, Russians are always late for meetings and early for defections." "If Vishnevsky's blown, Harvey,the safe house could be blown." "Yeah, I know that, sport." "That's why my nose is twitching' to beat the band." "you wanna stop that?" "Yes, okay." "Yes." "let's pack up." "Move out." "Sweet Jesus picked up the dog." "That means trouble." "Police!" "Let's disappear." "Yeah,disappearing sounds good." "damn!" "come on." "But my radio!" "Leave the damn radio!" "that ought to slow the bastards down." "damn crap-piss holster!" "only the ones in uniform." "not to shoot!" "hold yourfire, Jack!" "Not to shoot!" "Not to shoot." "I'm kgb!" "Keg's not on the menu." "If they don't shoot at us, we don't shoot at them." "I know it is you, torriti!" "Drop your weapon!" "now can anyone-- anyone on my payroll tell me how that happened?" "Vishnevsky now has a rendezvous with a bulletin the back of his skull." "His wife and kid will probably spend the rest of their lives in a labor camp." "Vishnevsky counted on me to get him out, and I didn't do it." "How come every asset we try and pull in winds up in front of a firing squad?" "And why is all the information we're getting garbage?" "And how come the KGB knows more about what we're doing than we do?" "Why?" "I'll tell you why." "'Cause we're being jerked around by a damn mole!" "Do you believe the sorcerer, jimbo?" "I believe he believes it." "If the leak really was in the company's end, the mole in mi6 would have to have heard it from the deputy director of operations or the D.C.I. Himself." "That's a handful of very powerful people." "Do you know what you're saying?" "If he does exist, I will find that mole." "Believe me." "Well, use caution when shaking those corridors of power, jimbo." "pavel, you honor us with your presence." "My son, I would like you to meet an old friend of your mother's." "Pavel Zhilov." "It is a shame that a tragedy should bring you home from your studies in America." "Your father is very proud." "Thank you, Comrade Zhilov." "Starik to my friends." "I remember how your mother loved to read." "Dostoyevsky was her favorite." "She seemed like a character straight from one of his books the way she would spit over her shoulder for good luck." "The way she would always sit-- on her suitcase before every voyage." "What did your father tell you about me?" "Only that I would be foolish not to come here today." "I would like you to do something for me, Yevgeny." "Speak to me plainly and openly about a subject that holds a great fascination for me" "America." "America is, um." "America is a country filled with a great people." "I have a great affection for America." "I cannot ignore their faults or their shortcomings." "Americans are trapped in A." "a system which brings out the worst in them." "They're raised to believe that democracy is the ideal, yet they turn a blind eye to the 25 million Americans that go to bed hungry every night." "Your American English's impeccable." "You went to high school in New York city, then to Yale." "Your mother taught you English as well as german and French." "You have an aptitude for languages." "Your grades at Yale were of the highest order." "You were popular." "You made friends." "Your troika, as you called it, included Jack McAuliffe and Leo Ritzy." "How do you know that?" "It was I who positioned your father at the united nations, and it was I who made sure you got into Yale." "I am a general in the KGB, Yevgeny." "Your father was a spy." "He worked for me." "At the KGB, we are idealists." "We believe the soviet way of life is worth fighting for." "We believe that all should be equal without poverty, crime,r acist hatred, without all the things that make America the grotesque giant it is." "And your ability to pass for an American makes you an absolutely unique soldier in this war." "Will you following your father's footsteps?" "In the footsteps of men who carve out history from blank stone?" "Yevgeny Tsipin," "I offer you a chance to enlist in the ranks of those who promote the genius and the generosity of the human spirit." "Will you fight this battle by my side?" "Chaps in my department believe Vishnevsky's claim to be rubbish, of course, but, uh, the whole affair has caused a b-bit of a shaking down of the tree, so we'll see if any bad apples fall out." "Thank you, Adrian." "James, anything?" "Who's that young man behind you, frank?" "You've met Leo Kritzkyhalf a dozen times, Jim." "Sharp as a tack." "Yes, but what is he doing here?" "Colby is breaking him in as his future right-hand man." "Leo's one of us." "Angleton scare you, Kritzky?" "He should." "Bite's worse than his bark." "I have conducted a thorough search here." "I hope you haven't been poking your nose into my phone records, James." "Your records are clean Frank, as are everyone else's in the room." "Good lord, james, you have us followed, too?" "It is my opinion that our house is clean." "The alleged mole in mi6,as I suspect-- an apparition." "Conclusion-- the defection was blown by a leak somewhere in Berlin." "Son of a bitch!" "Well, if that's the way mother wants to play it, fine." "I'm game." "I'm gonna find that mole, sport!" "Oh, by the way, here's your first fully fledged asset to handle." "you are old for a ballet student." "How'd you know I spoke English?" "Americans have a certain walk." "And how do I walk?" "With false confidence, as if you own the world." "You must be rainbow." "I find the name fitting." "You may call me lily." "You are not followed?" "You may turn." "Please." "give that to your boss." "See if he thinks we are worth the effort." "It's still warm." "What is it?" "Herr professor worked all night on it." "Who's this professor?" "Your lover?" "If you follow me or try to find out where I live," "I will end all contact." "I will not identify herr professor-- not ever." "If your boss likes what's on the silk, you may meet me here every Thursday." "this is the dam mother lode, sport." "Rainbow's professor sent us plain-text copies of messages from east German higher ups and their soviet bosses in Moscow." "Messages we intercepted, encrypted." "See, this--this code meant nothing until we got this piece of silk." "We cracked a code, gentlemen." "We cracked a damn code." "Down the hatch." "You did good." "You did real good." "You know, there's an old Russian proverb that says you're supposed to wash the bear without getting its fur wet." "That's what I want you to do with this ballet dancer of yours." "Find out who rainbow is, where she lives and who this professor is." "the successful agent is invariably one who has mastered the art of thinking conventionally." "That is thinking as a member of the other side of the principle adversary." "and then that agent systematically challenges the conventional thinking to develop alternatives that will take the principle adversary by complete surprise." "this is how you will succeed, Yevgeny." "This will be your weapon." "The peasants say that bee stings can alleviate rheumatism." "Quietly, girls." "Your daughters?" "Nieces." "Aye!" "How many?" "A man can never have too many nieces." "They keep me feeling young." "Aye, aye--enough, enough." "I'm starting to prefer the idea of rheumatism to bee stings." "I have been told by my people that the pentagon thinks there will be a war with the soviet union." "They even have predicted starting date" "America doesn't have the appetite for another world war, let alone an atomic one." "I mean, they are foolish and greedy, yes, but not insane." "Americans are very good at self-preservation." "I dislike summer so very much." "Why would anyone dislike summer?" "You must excuse me if I have awaked you." "I think that it's, awakened you." "Awakened you." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Why would someone dislike summer?" "For the reason that it is too short." "I'm azalia." "Azalia ivanova." "Yevgeny." "Uh, nice to meet you." "Are you here with your husband?" "no." "I have come with my roommate." "She's the daughter of comrade Khrushchev." "They are talking about boring party subjects." "And I was told you speak English." "I lust to practice my English, Yevgeny." "Is that correct?" "Yes, that's correct." "I lust as well, Azalia." "it's a ticket to Giselle." "Markova is dancing." "Hey, Lily, no strings attached, all right?" "It's, uh." "it's just a thank you for all the risks you've been putting yourself through." "Come on." "We'll watch the ballet, and then I'll buy you one beer, and afterwards you can duck like a spider back to your crack in the wall." "I am tempted, jack-in-the-box." "I have heard Alicia Markova defies gravity." "All right, well I'll be waiting in front orthe opera house for you." "If you show, you show." "If you don't, well." "I will not show." "I am compiling names of those who disappeared, the many millions who vanished." "Jews, gypsies, undesirables-- all gone without a whisper." "Stalin is worse even than Hitler." "a list like that could get you killed, Azalia." "Don't be foolish." "Azalia, what would you think if I told you that." "I might be going away for a while?" "For how long?" "perhaps a very long time." "I should be very upset, Yevgeny." "Every time you call me on the telephone." "my heart races." "I can feel it in your voice." "The longing in your words." "That's because every time I leave you." "a part of my soul stays in your possession." "Next sunday, my roommate will be away." "I want you to come to my apartment." "I want to possess all of you now." "Danke." "I am here, jackstraw." "I knew you'd show." "Come on." "Let's see if this Markova woman defies gravity." "How did you get here, jack?" "Doing this kind of work?" "And not the suave jack answer--the real answer." "There are some Americans who understand that we are in a life-and-death crisis with the communists." "When it's over, only one side will survive." "I've been asked to join the battle." "And you believe this?" "We're in a war, Lily, and even though it's a cold one, it is no less deadly." "I believe that in my soul." "How much do you believe it?" "Are you willing to perish for this cause, or." "are you able to return to your safe American world of comfort whenever you please?" "I may seem like the cocky American who, uh, walks like he owns the world, but that doesn't mean I don't have strong convictions about the future of this world." "What are you afraid of?" "I cannot know you." "I warned you of this." "If you get too close, if you try to find out who I am or who the professor is, you will never see me again." "rainbow's real name is Helga Agnesmittag de la Fuente." "Her parents were Spanish and German." "Her mother was arrested for spying for the republicans in the Spanish civil war." "She was sent to the firing squad." "What about sniper?" "Herr professor?" "Uh, real name--Ernst Loffler." "Teaches theoretical physics at the Humboldt institute." "Before the war, sniper hung out with Max Planck and Albert Einstein." "A theoretical physicist-- wait till the wiz hears about that." "Oh, do me a favor, sport, put a teardrop in, uh, sniper's wall." "That will be tricky." "There's an old woman that lives below him, and she never goes out." "So kill her." "We can't just kill some body, Harvey." "We're--we're the good guys, remember?" "Can't you Yale guys take a joke?" "Lure her out of the house." "Whatever." "okay." "You are to leave for America within days." "Within days?" "Isn't that what you wanted?" "Uh, of course." "It's just that-- it's, uh." "it's complicated." "Are you actually considering a Jewish girl over the career I have shaped for you, crafted since you were a boy?" "Are you going to give up everything you have learned here, all that you can do for mother Russia," "for a zhidov girl?" "I love her." "zhidov girl or not." "Well, your ability to love this Jewish girl, the luxury to even have this freedom is only possible because men like your father, your grandfather and men like me have provided it for you, have sacrificed," "have spilled blood and had their own blood spilled." "Now it is time for your sacrifice, Yevgeny Tsipin, for you to be a soldier and a man." "I don't know what to do." "It is your choice, Yevgeny-- a life of simple domesticity with a woman who will never allow you to rise in the party ranks, or a life of changing the world." "I'm Eugene." "Eugene Dodgson." "What do you see when you watch yourself?" "my faults." "Only my faults." "This must be always the frontier of our intimacy." "We can go no further." "Herr professor lets you take too many risks." "I would never let that happen if you were mine." "I owe him my life." "Why?" "What happened?" "When the Russian soldiers came through Germany on drunken rampages." "I was 15." "That's when I met herr professor." "He showed me that life was worth living again." "I cannot leave." "come with me, Lily." "I need you." "You do not need me as much as he needs me." "Why?" " Without me - without you, what?" "Without you, what?" "Without me, Herr professor cannot survive." "He's new?" "My Shaba's goy." "Hamlet--he turns on the lights, answers the phone and kills people for me on Saturdays." "I didn't know you were so religious, Ezra." "I am a protector of my people, Harvey." "I want to save the Jews from Stalin." "In that sense, I'm very religious." "But you do believe in god?" "Certainly not." "I believe in an eye for an eye." "The Mossad manual." "There's been a leak." "Maybe one of your Shaba's goys moonlights for the opposition." "Harvey, everyone here has walked through fire." "Hamlet is missing all the fingernails of his right hand." "They were extracted by KGB pliers." "Keep your yarmulke on." "I'm just checking all the angles." "There's a soviet mole in the higher echelons of mi6." "We share everything with the British cousins-- everything!" "Don't I know it." "how can your rabbi help?" "That's why I'm here." "I need some advice." "Head to the source, Harvey." "You still have connections with the brits from the war." "Go to London." "and bring a barium meal." "You look fit and fat all at once, Harvey." "Are you?" "Both and neither." "You?" "I'm suffering from a touch of that aristocratic malady-- gout." "You wired, Elihu?" "Afraid so, Harv." "Friends are friends, but I have to cover my ass." "After your phone call, I'm very much afraid I shall have neither pension, nor retirement." "Well, you have my sympathies." "Harvey, you realize what you're implying." "I'm not implying, Elihu." "It's fact." "There's a mole inside mi6,and it's the Russian kind." "Years ago, there was a rumor floating around about a mole--code name Parsifal-- supposedly trained in his youth by a KGB agent known to us as Starik." "Rumor or fact?" "You know what they say about rumors, Harvey." "They're all true." "Parsifal, huh?" "If this Parsifal has succeeded in surviving all these years, he must be a master of deception." "How can I possibly help you?" "Barium meals." "Barium meals?" "Yeah, it's a drink they give you when you go for an x-ray." "It shows up anything that might be floating around-- yes, I-I know what a barium meal is," "Harvey, but how does it perta into Parsifal?" "I'm gonna send each of my suspects in the Vishnevsky Leaka juicy piece of information about an ongoing secret operation." "He'll think that this operation is being sent to many people along the pipeline." "Yeah, but you'll just send it to one person." "Yeah, brilliant, Harvey." "Quite brilliant." "You can't feed this Parsifal any old junk." "He'll know the difference." "I know." "It has to be a real operation." "An ongoing secret operation, but it has to come from you Elihu." "Oh, no, Harvey." "No, please." "Two years." "Two years, and I'll be drinking and daydreaming." "Just release the memo." "Today." "Harvey, you need to get some rest." "No, I can't." "I'm waiting for a phone call." "From whom?" "I don't know whom, but my nose will twitch." "I'll man the phone." "No, no, no." "It's gotta be me." "Why?" "I sent out my last barium meal to my prime suspect, to wit" "I know the identity of the soviet mole inside mi6 who betrayed the Vishnevsky defection." "In which case, my prime suspect will contact his Russian handlers, and they in turn will do everything they can to either kidnap or kill me." "I-I thought the KGB didn't do that to us, we don't do that to them?" "No, this is a special occasion." "They'll do everything they can to protect their mole." "If I'm offed, Jack, it means my barium meal hit the target, and my prime suspect is confirmed." "That doesn't do us a lot of good if you're dead." "Well, I've left instructions in the safe should I, uh, pass away." "what's on your mind?" "It's lily." "She hasn't been to the studio all week." "Doors are locked." "She hasn't tried to contact me." "Well, she'll turn up." "That's it--she'll turn up?" "What if she's hurt, Harvey?" "What if the east Germans have her?" "They don't." "How do you know?" "Because we've been careful." "Haven't we?" "Listen to me, Mcauliffe." "You can woo her." "You can screw her." "You can do whatever you need to do to make her whisper sweet secrets in your ear, but don't fall in love with her." "That way lies madness." "hello?" "Why, yes." "Yes, I'm very interested in meeting this person." "Herr Torriti?" "In the flesh, my darling." "You are liking what you see?" "We are meeting again and performing exchange-- my letters, your 25 thousand American dollars." "Looks like we have a deal." "Where and when?" "Here." "Tomorrow nacht." "You comprehend?" "I comprehend, madame." "tomorrow nacht it is." "If anything's going to happen, it's going to be now." "Coming out." "drop your weapon!" "That was the ambush, Harvey?" "that was amateur hour." "Where the hell did they come from?" "You are having trouble?" "Shoot him, sport." "Let's skedaddle." "phony cops to save you from a phony mugging." "Oh, get in the car, they say, for your own safety." "Sure, why not?" "You got no reason not to trust 'em." "And then--whoosh!" "Nobody sees you again in the western sector." "The good news is I can now identify the soviet mole in mi6 without a shadow of a doubt." "I'm gonna nail that bastard!" "Ike and I have been friends for 20 years." "I had his office check you out, young man, and you don't work for the state department." "Sir, I came here to ask for your blessing, not to quibble." "I don't think inquiring about the prospects of a man who wants to marry my daughter is quibbling, especially when he lies about his work." "Especially when he works Cockroach alley." "the CIA, Mr. Kritzky." "That's where you spend your days." "I want you to know that your daughter has been a bright ray of sunlight in my gloomy day sat the office." "She makes me happy." "I look forward to being with her, and I'm in love with her, sir." "Do you love him, honey?" "I do, daddy." "I really do." "I can tell you one thing, Kritzky." "Your taste in mates is better than my daughter's." "That's the truth, sir." "Oh,daddy, thank you!" "I knew you'd like him." "my dear Yevgeny, by now, you're established within our principal adversary's homeland." "You are the most vital piece of this great game at this time." "You will be activated several times a year-- sometimes not at all for several months." "Be patient." "I will never contact you again this way, but you will always feel my guiding hand." "Be brave." "Be clever, and you will someday come home a hero of mother Russia." "In what well-known book do you find the lines..." ""and the moral of that is.. the more there is of mine, the less there is of yours?"" "Lewis Carroll's Alice Adventures in wonderland that is correct and tonight's winning lottery numbers are.." "This is Eugene." "Who's this?" "that is not important." "I am only to tell you how to contact and deliver necessary items to a man named Parsifal." "Go to dead drop 6 Thursday at 3:00 P.M." "With bag and place on park bench next to you." "Wait there till you are met." "After, go to Georgetown University law library at precisely 3:45 P.M." "Go to Blackstone's commentary of laws of England and remove volume four from shelf." "Within it will be address and telephone number for Parsifal and a calling card of sorts." "Starik must be combing preparatory schools for his spies these days." "My working name is Eugene." "American, are you?" "Starik sends gifts." "Well, these'll doing a pinch." "Oh, good, good." "Oh, and listen," "I've heard news that the head of the Berlin station is on to the f-fact that I exist." "He may even know my identity, which could be a problem-- b-bloody big problem." "I'll pass it along." "What's his name?" "Harvey Torriti." "He's known as the sorcerer." "Where have you been?" "I thought the KGB had you, Lily!" "I'm sorry, jack." "There was no way of getting word to you." "If you had been arrested." "we had to go to Dresden for a funeral." "Herr professor's brother died suddenly." "There was no possibility for me to tell you in time." "I can't lose you, Lily." "Then do not lose me." "The moment I treasure most is when I wake from a heavy sleep and do not know where I am." "For a few delicious seconds, I am in a huge void free of gravity." "At such moments I dance as I have never been able to before." "That is what it is like when I am with you." "What are we gonna do, Lily?" "We will keep playing the game, jack, until the game is over." ""but if..... that is .... correct!" "you are..!" "make sure... until.... a letter has been attached to back of garbage bin behind store sat m and fourth streets." "I would like to speak more with you but have been instructed not to." "jack McAuliffe!" "Jacko!" "Borisov!" "Vanka Borisov--the European crew championship." "Munich." "I was rowing stroke in a Russian coxed four." "Oh, yeah!" "You and me and Leo Kritzky-- we fell crazy in love with three Australian peacenik sisters, and we drank and screwed them till sunrise." "Oh, of course--Borisov!" "I-I'm sorry." "What are you doing in Berlin?" "Zwei beer, Peter." "I'm at the soviet import/export commission." "We conduct trade negotiations with the German democratic republic." "What about yourself, jacko?" "I landed a soft job with the state department." "Cheers!" "ah, the only thing better than a soft job is a soft woman, huh, jacko?" "Hey." "Did you ever get to the states to, um, screw the peace-and freedom-loving women of Colorado," "I believe you said?" "I don't know how you came up with Colorado." "I saw photos of Colorado in a banned copy of life magazine-- beautiful country." "I think they must have beautiful women, da?" "Ah, probably." "I-I've never been to Colorado." "And I never got to the U.S." "Tell me something, jack." "What's a lot of money over there?" "well, it depends on the-- on the person's tastes." "Uh, I mean, if they have expensive tastes, if they have to have a-a Cadillac and all that, um." "let's say, for the sake of argument, they have expensive tastes." "Is $25,000 a lot of dough over there?" "$50,000?" "It's a good amount." "Tell me, jack." "What do you make at the, what was it again, state department?" "I make $6,000a year, Borisov." "Hmm, I see." "And what if someone were to come to you, right here, right now, and offer you150,000 bucks in cash?" "In exchange for what?" "In exchange for the odd piece of information." "If the amount is not enough, we can negotiate, jacko." "Please, jack." "You're in the great game now, as am I, and in the game, all is negotiable." "All is possible--everything." "Anything." "It's always good to see an old crew buddy, but if we run into each other again," "Borisov, things might not be so pleasant." "they... are you... in a ... go ahead, sir." "well, still sticking to your story," "Kritzky, that you're working for the state department?" "who is it out there, Phil?" "It's that clown who up and proposed to my daughter, Mr. President." "He's got your, uh, daily briefing here in his hand." "He must be rising up in the ranks of the company pretty quickly, sir." "Kritzky?" "Well, don't let him stand 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 it after my wife cicely." "That chair will never hold your weight, Harvey." "Your horticultural lesson's very interesting, Jim." "Well, crossing orchids is a very long, very tedious process, not unlike the business of counterespionage." "You don't say." "I do say." "It can take 12 months just to develop the seedpod and then another 12 months for that pod to sprout even an inch or 2." "The eventual flowering, if there even is a flowering can take five years." "Counterespionage is like that." "It requires the patience of a saint, which you, Harvey, do not have." "I'm here to tell you that I'm going to the director to lay out my case against your pal Philly." "Adrian?" "What case?" "He blew the Vishnevsky defection, for one thing." "He's a soviet spy, Jim-- has been since the early '30s." "You are joking." "I don't joke about traitors." "That's rubbish." "Rubbish." "I've known Adrian for 15 years." "He's been vetted a dozen times, and you know that, Harvey." "And you know there are ways around a lie detector test." "The Russians are master sat beating them." "You're not serious about this?" "I'm as serious as a $5 whore, serious enough to fly across the Atlantic overnight sitting on a mailbag." "Adrian Kim Philly is working for the KGB." "As the company's counterintelligence honcho," "I thought it was only fair that you be warned." "And on top of that, I think we should take precautions to make sure Philly doesn't fly the coop." "Are you hearing me on this, Jim?" "Take precautions." "You'll only make a fool of yourself, Harvey." "I've got the son of a bitch by the balls!" "so do you still dislike summer so very much?" "It's you." "Yeah, it's me, Azalia." "Yevgeny." "I thought you were gone forever from my life." "I thought the worst, that I would never see 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 you not say good-bye?" "I'm sorry." "I can tell you nothing, other than that I'm doing my duty." "and I long to be with you." "please deposit25 cents." "I have to go." "But at least, tell me where you are, at least that so I can see you in my mind and-- and know you're safe." "America." "I'm in America." "America." "Thanks for coming, buddy." "Wouldn't have missed it for the world." "She's beautiful." "How the hell did you find her?" "Well, she found me, I think." "She found me when no one else could." "The hours I've been working, I feel like a coal miner-- never see the light of day, and then she." "came along." "I'm happy for you." "I'm really happy." "Maybe I'll settle down someday." "And maybe it'll snow in hell." "No." "Oh, come on, buddy!" "This party's gonna carry on after we go." "There are lots of single girls here." "Well, I'm on a short leash." "Gotta get back to Berlin to handle my asset." "I thought the sorcerer was in D.C." "He doesn't want me tagging along after him like a little lost duckling." "I'm heading out tonight." "Oh, I see." "Poor jack has to go back to his long-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 over your face, buddy." "There, you see?" "Come on, stay for a bit." "We'll go rowing in 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 what you want to call it." "Two nights at the hay-Adams." "They want me back at work on Monday." "Yeah, we all gotta make some sacrifices, buddy." "There's a war on, a cold one." "So I've heard." "Leo, let's go!" "oh, don't worry, Jack." "I'll take good care of him." "I didn't order anything." "Yes, you did." "who is it, Adrian?" "Just a liquor delivery, James." "Didn't want it to run out on us, did we?" "there's instructions inside." "Now keep the change, old boy." "hello, jack." "Your tradecraft is excellent." "Borisov." "We know you always come by here, but we lose you after that." "Every time, we lose you." "How do you do it?" "Don't make a 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 her at 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 Patterson check you out." "I'm fine." "Maybe you can give me a hand with something then, if you're feeling all fine and dandy." "What do you got?" "It's these transcripts from the teardrop in sniper's flat." "What about 'em?" "I compared the surveillance tapes with the information we got from rainbow's silk." "And." "there are some minor discrepancies." "good... how.." "How do you know our real names?" "Why do you risk coming here before the arranged time?" "Because what I have to say can't wait, Helga." "Your professor, your supposed savior, has betrayed you." "He works for the KGB." "He's what we call a disinformation agent, giving us variations of the truth and trying to get us to spin our wheels and-- and to send us in the wrong direction." "The silk I gave you was filled with valuable items." "You read it, jack." "Leftovers from a lousy meal." "All the good stuff was edited out." "How could you know this?" "We bugged your apartment." "The professor was speaking with another scientist colleague the other night." "When you left the room, they traded secrets with each other, none of which ended upon the silk." "I must leave." "Lily, you don't understand." "It's over." "Now I have a truck around the corner." "It has a compartment we can hide you in." "We need to get you out orthe 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 professor who is a soviet agent." "It's me." "I have betrayed him." "I have betrayed you." "what?" "The KGB found out that we were giving you information." "To this day, I do not know how." "They told me that Ernst would be tried for high treason and shot." "They said I would never dance again, because they would-- because they would break my kneecaps." "God, Lily." "They promised Ernst would not be hurt if." "if you delivered disinformation to me." "They said it was the only way out." "I took the silk to the KGB, who would edit the information." "I would give the new silk to you at the studio." "After each meeting, I was supposed to write a report about everything." "They know your identity, jack." "Borisov." "they tried to kill me to keep." "of course." "It was a charade to make me trust you even more, wasn't it?" "they swore to me you would not be hurt." "they did not tell me what they were planning to do." "I wanted to die, jack." "did you tell them that you're in love with me?" "Are you even in love with me, Lily?" "Or are you that good?" "I love you more than anything in this world, jack." "Lily, if he loves you, if he truly loves you, he would want you to save yourself." "you could save us, jack." "you could save us." "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, Lily." "Please." "tonight at 7:00,my dearest." "mother himself knows that there is a KGB agent somewhere inside the British Intelligence community." "Jim knows that this agent, code name Parsifal, was supposedly recruited and trained in Spain during the Spanish civil war by none other than the soviet case officer known only as Starik." "Your point?" "Philby was on assignment for the London times during the Spanish civil war, Allen." "James doesn't think you've made your case at all, Harvey." "Mother's too close to this." "He's an unwitting pawn in Starik's game." "I made sure that none of our British friends received any memos concerning the Vishnevsky defection, yet Jim here dines weekly with Philby." "They share information." "Jim, your office is the only place where he could have found out about Vishnevsky." "Your line of reasoning is intriguing but, uh, what if it's just a 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 afternoon on Tuesday, January 2nd, radio intercept logs show a dramatic increase in the volume of cipher wireless traffic between the soviet embassy and Moscow." "Now it seems to me that someone somewhere pushed a button." "Jim, did you show Philly the memo on Vishnevsky's defection?" "It is standard that Philly and I shared information." "Yes, I showed him the Vishnevsky memo." "Proves nothing." "A leak can come from anywhere-- a courier, a secretary, a nosy office worker." "I fed Philly a barium meal to the effect that I could identify the soviet mole inside mi6." "The very next week, a bunch of jokers in Berlin tried to take me out of circulation." "I call that proof positive!" "What Mr. Torriti fails to mention in his report is that Adrian Philly knew everything about his hottest source in Germany-- code name rainbow, code name sniper." "They're still giving us information on a weekly basis." "Now if Adrian Philby were a soviet spy, would not operation sniper have been shut down immediately by the KGB?" "Sniper is still delivering, isn't he, Harvey?" "Yes he is, Jim." "Then there you have it, gentlemen." "He's delivering disinformation." "I suppose you're prepared to elaborate on that." "I suppose I am." "Yesterday I received a flash memo from my apprentice Jack McAuliffe." "He's the manhandling rainbow." "The Russians already knew about the operation, and they turned rainbow into their agent, which is why sniper wasn't shut down when Philly 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 assets for years." "His actions have caused the deaths of dozens, maybe hundreds." "Wake up!" "So who pushed the bloody p-panic button?" "Maclean fled England last night." "What's the problem?" "Burgess went with him." "Burgess buggered off as well?" "Bloody little bastard!" "Starik figures you don't have a lot of time to flee the country." "You brought your backup passport, I hope." "So Starik wants me to 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 out for you." "There'll be a boat waiting for you in Halifax." "You've been on the firing line for a long time." "It's time for you to 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 relished all 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 come into the office this morning, and there was no answer at his house." "Ernst?" "Faster!" "Come on!" "Any faster, and we turn over, Mr. Jack." "it wasn't your fault, jack." "You offered her a ticket out." "She wanted to save the professor." "I should have insisted that she come with me." "It wasn't your fault." "She said the KGB had caught on to her." "Said she didn't know how." "Let me ask you something, Harvey." "Lily wasn't part of your barium meals, was she?" "'cause if she was, Harvey, if she was." "sniper was my crown jewel." "I was ready to give up a lot." "but not sniper and not rainbow." "There's no way I'd put Lily and the professor on the line." "On my mother's grave, kid." "Onwards and upwards." "yeah." "Onwards." "Whatever."
