"Of course, these facts" "Were not handed to me on a silver platter." "I teased them." "I teased them from the wilderness" "With excruciating attention" "To the minutiae." "It takes the patience of a saint." "Philby, the KGB, Sasha" "They've tried to discredit and destroy me for years," "And now, of course, they have." "Gentlemen, you do not realize" "That you are surrounded by a wilderness of deception." "Thank you, Jim." "We will try our best" "To muddle through without you." "You will be missed." "I know it's you, Sasha." "The rabbi found Kukushkin" "Far too easily." "Starik never would have been that sloppy..." "Never." "I bear you no hard feelings, Jim." "Yes?" "Whatever you said" "Scared the hell out of them, Comrade Starik." "They should be scared." "The Gorbachev is a pawn." "He's being used by the Americans." "The politburo are terrified the Americans will wipe out" "Our second strike mobile train platforms," "Leaving us vulnerable to invasion." "How did you do it?" "Well, the facts spoke for themselves." "The Americans' "able archer" plan" "Is for a preemptive nuclear strike." "I embellished nothing." "The cold war must continue, Comrade colonel." "I know how your mind works." "I am not swayed as easily as the rest of them," "But I must congratulate you, Starik." "You would have made a brilliant chess grand master" "If you ever played." "But I did." "I did." "Hello, Eugene." "Sasha." "Starik has convinced Gorbachev" "That America is planning a first strike" "In an operation known as "able archer."" "You and I both know the whole idea is pure nonsense." "The Russians have a mobile second strike capacity" "Aboard railroad flatcars-- 12 trains with 4 icbms a piece" "Shuttling around 300 miles of track." "The Americans know full well that a second strike launched" "From the Russian rail platforms would annihilate" "The eastern seaboard of the united states." "And what happens to the world then, Eugene?" "I don't know, Sasha." "You told me long ago" "What Starik said to you." "That we should promote" "The Generosity of the human spirit." "So tell me, Eugene," "What does launching a preemptive strike" "To provoke nuclear holocaust" "Have to do with promoting" "The Generosity of the human spirit?" "I'm--I'm trying to make sense of this, ladies." "Well, the new computers can analyze so much data" "That we can now run all the old leads" "That were never followed up." "Because it was just too time-consuming." "Mm-hmm." "And there just weren't enough man hours" "Woman hours--and the stuff just laid around forever." "So we analyzed old transcripts" "Of radio Moscow from the 1950s..." "Mm-hmm, to look for patterns or repetitions or sentences," "Phrases that might appear out of context..." "Under the assumption KGB agents abroad" "Might be receiving coded messages from these shows." "Yes, I-I get that part." "Well, we found something in the old transcripts" "A pattern in a nightly quiz show." "You did?" "I adored "Alice in Wonderland"" "As a kid, and in the 23 years" "This radio program has been airing" "That's 1,200 50-minute broadcasts..." "Yeah." "The Lewis Carroll quotations have appeared 24 times." "Now they instantly caught my eye," "Because I could answer all the quotations." "No, the Russians wouldn't be so sloppy" "As to use a radio program to broadcast messages." "Of course not," "But we learned" "In all of our counterintelligence seminars" "That sometimes these codes are merely recognition symbols" "Special sentences intended for the agent" "To let him know that there'll be something" "Appearing for him later on in the program." "And after every Lewis Carroll quotation," "There was an announcement of a winning lottery number." "Huh." "Angleton once told me that soviet agents" "Were given American $10 bills" "To use in some kind of a-a code system" "That we just couldn't break." "We think they took the serial number off of" "Off the bill and subtracted it from a lottery number" "That was broadcast on the radio." "Presto." "They'd wind up with a phone number of a contact." "I still don't see how you get a phone number" "Unless you have the particular serial number of the $10" "You found the bill?" "Not the actual bill, director." "My team hunted down all the serial numbers" "From every $10 bill printed" "Between 1945 and 1951" "The likely date that a soviet agent" "Would have used for a code bill." "Six years of bills?" "Over $67 million worth." "We narrowed it down by assuming" "That the soviet agent would have lived in Washington," "So we used area code 202 as a Rosetta stone." "The computer told us" "That the 8-digit serial number on the bill" "Would have to begin with a three and a zero" "Cut down the number of bills to a manageable size" "It was a matter of burning the midnight oil" "To narrow it down to a single $10 bill." "We took the phone numbers" "We got from the Russian radio program," "Matched 'em with phone records from D.C." "We came up with a polish immigrant." "She's been moving to a new apartment" "With a new phone number almost every year" "Since 1955." "She's 69 years old," "Never had a job, and it's not clear" "Where she gets money to pay the rent." "We think she's the go-between," "And I think she will lead us to Sasha's cutout." "Maybe she's dead." "Let's go check and see if she's dead." "She's not dead." "I heard the toilet flush a half-hour ago." "She's got her favorite soap operas" "Oh, wait a minute." "Keys." "Look, I think she's going for the door." "She's saying good-bye to the cat." "This is it, let's go!" "Thanks." "She's at the checkout counter." "I got it!" "Give me the camera." "Yep." "Here." "One more." "Yep." "Got it." "She's half a block away." "Do you want me to slow her down?" "Negative." "We're out." "Hand me the picture." "You got it?" "Let's go." "We turned her place upside down," "Found these" "Coded phrases their coded equivalents" "And, uh, one-time cipher pads" "To break the codes." "So now we're waiting for Sasha's cutout to call." "I'm also gonna need some repairs" "On a 1952..." "Bentley." "The windshield is cracked and, uh..." "Needs to be replaced." "And the 1957 Bel Air g.s..." "Got him!" "Payphone-- 8th street and 11th." "Is no longer for sale in case interested parties ask." "I will pass message along, Gene." "N. S. A. Is working on the codes" "Phone call right now." "I think it's best we wait" "And see if the cutout calls back." "And if he doesn't call, pick her up and flip her?" "No, she could lead us to Sasha." "A cut out who moves around for 23 years" "Who has his own cutout to shield his identity" "This guy's too important," "Whoever he is." "How many people have you shown this to?" "No one." "Just you." "I can't make heads or tails of it." "It's a list of contact numbers" "That don't exist as far as I can tell" "And a series of dates." "The numbers are not contact numbers." "What are they?" "Bank accounts..." "And swift codes." "What you are seeing here, jack," "Are the threads" "Of kholstomer." "It's not so much the Kholstomer's $63 billion" "That would have an effect." "It's the panic that would ensue from a sudden sell-off." "If--if fund managers and central banks" "And foreign entities get the impression" "That the dollar is in a freefall," "Kholstomer could have devastating consequences" "Worldwide." "At the federal reserve to back the dollar on d-day." "Flood the media with inside stories" "About federal reserve's resolve" "To support the dollar." "Let the world's financial community know" "The reserve has an almost unlimited ability" "To back American currency." "Will that be enough?" "Angleton said it himself" ""prevent the panic, and we crush kholstomer."" "And what about Sasha?" "Won't he know," "Warn the Russians not to implement kholstomer?" "Sasha won't know as long as this stays in this room." "Why not let it leave the room?" "Leak it to the company." "Let Sasha know we're onto kholstomer." "Let him postpone it." "No." "We can't let Sasha know." "Kholstomer will always be out there to come back and haunt us." "We need to deal with this now." "Eugene, is that you?" "Yes, it's me." "Oh, I didn't think I would hear from you" "Until next month, my dear boy." "Do you need more repairs for your..." "Starting trace." "You have to send a warning" "To the old man immediately." "I'm listening." "The other party knows about his intent to sell" "The 220 seb coupe Mercedes with the white finish." "They know about the price, the date of the sale," "All of it." "He has to postpone..." "He's on east 8th and maple crest." "I will let him know immediately." "This time we got him." "What's his name?" "Renting an apartment under the name of Ludwig." "We're checking background." "He's careful." "Switched cabs twice and took two different buses coming home." "And the old lady?" "We nabbed her before she could spill the beans." "With Lutwidge's contact gone, won't he get suspicious?" "I'm really not too comfortable" "Leaving this guy out there for so long, jack." "Let's wait just a little longer." "Tell me about this cutout, jack." "Dr. Kramer, phone..." "Dr. Kramer, phone call on line two." "He hasn't left his apartment in two days." "Couldn't get a clear photo of him yet." "Neighbors think he might be a writer." "He tends to keep to himself." "Well, we" "We looked in the library of congress" "To see if he had written anything" "Or published anything." "It turns out the only thing that came back was, uh..." "Under his name was "Alice in Wonderland"" "And "through the looking glass."" "What was this cutout's name?" "He goes by the name of Lutwidge, Gene Lutwidge." "The writer of "Alice in Wonderland"..." "Lewis Carroll-- we know." "Lewis Carroll's pen name..." "Is Charles..." "Lutwidge..." "Dodgson." "Dodgson?" "The delivery boy" "We never caught..." "Who is it, Adrian?" "From Kahn's liquor shop..." "That same delivery boy, jack," "Who made deliveries" "To other people." "Leo was cleared." "Not by me, he wasn't, jack." "You came to me for advice." "Snatch him up." "Snatch Dodgson up now." "Pick him up." "Mr. Lutwidge, you are gonna be taken to a secure" "Yevgeny?" "Well, jack, you can't still be mad" "About that raccoon coat." "Oh, my god." "I'm going to say a name to you, Leo." "Okay." "Yevgeny Tsipin." "Yevgeny?" "He, um..." "Slept with my girlfriend at Yale." "Did you know that?" "We just arrested him for espionage" "Right here in D.C." "You're joking." "Yevgeny's a spy?" "We think he's Sasha's cutout." "Wow." "Yevgeny was the delivery boy" "From Kahn's liquor store." "Yevgeny delivered your liquor," "Delivered it to your house, Leo!" "You're telling me that if he was at this door," "You wouldn't recognize him?" "Are you trying to tell me this is just a coincidence?" "Relax, jack," "I can explain." "Okay, please do." "Please do, Leo," "Because, god help me, I got you" "Out of Angleton's prison, and if I was wrong, Leo," "If I was wrong, and you killed the Cubans," "And you--you betrayed the Hungarians," "And if you killed Lily, Leo," "If you killed Lily," "I don't know what the hell I will do to you." "Look, you were Yevgeny's friend, too." "I'm not accusing you of being Sasha." "Yeah, you and Yevgeny have shared a girlfriend" "Stella Bledsoe." "I ran a check on her, Leo." "I never forgot her name." "She was an American communist" "Who got caught a while down the road" "For trying to recruit an undercover FBI agent." "She kept tabs on Yevgeny at Yale," "And she recruited you, Leo, didn't she?" "Coach waltz recruited us, jack." "Coach waltz recruited us to the company!" "Stella recruited you to the KGB." "Tell me Stella didn't recruit you!" "Sasha." "I need an ambulance" "To 1544 victory lane." "A man's been shot." "Jack, I never took a penny." "I want you to know that." "I did it because I believed in serving the country whose" "System of government offered the best hope for the future." "That system was socialism, jack." "Adelle--she knew, didn't she?" "Yes, she did, and I'm not proud of it." "I was assigned to her to get secrets out of her father," "But guess what?" "I fell in love with her, jack." "I did." "I swear." "You are scum, Leo!" "The company trained secret police in Argentina," "Chile, Iran, Iraq, Dominican Republic." "The list is as long as my arm." "This is the business we're in." "So here we are now." "You think this is what I had in mind when I joined?" "Do you think this is what I signed up for?" "You're a hero to me." "I'm sorry, buddy." "I wanted to protect my children." "That's why I stayed-- to protect my kids." "You're a traitor, Leo!" "Leo!" "Go to hell!" "Paramedics." "Anyone in here?" "Anyone here?" "Harvey?" "The extraordinary if restrained action" "Taken in the Persian gulf early this morning" "Was overshadowed through the day" "By scenes such as wall street has never witnessed" "As the Dow Jones industrials" "Took off on a fear-fed free fall" "To close down" "A record 508.32 points." "Panicked traders worked through lunch hours" "In a desperate but losing attempt" "To keep up with tickers that rolled up" "An all-time high volume." "CBS news looks at this devastating day for the market." "As the bell tolled at the end..." "So how bad was the fallout?" "It made a ripple, but America always bounces back." "We traced the cash back to the KGB connections" "Central foreign banks and the agents of influence" "That Starik's been using all these years." "You should have been there, jack." "Tessa and Vanessa went ballistic." "They tracked down a hundred banks" "That had major influences on the stock markets." "We knew that our target of five or six banks" "With connections to kholstomer" "Would be in there somewhere." "In the end," "We had to call in the only person in the CIA" "Who would be able to recognize the invisible threads" "Between the disparate names on the list." "He narrowed down the list to five bankers" "In different parts of the world." "All these guys had connections to the KGB" "At some point in their life," "But it was only Angleton who could see" "Past the forest for the trees." "The first target was Tokyo bank international." "Another bank on the London exchange." "The next two Angleton identified" "As heads of prominent banks in Saudi Arabia and Johannesburg," "Both with powerful influences on their exchanges." "The last guy, maybe the ringleader" "That was Harvey's department." "I recognized the name of a bastard" "Who worked with the soviets before the war." "He was running Banco Ambrosiano" "Until it collapsed in the '80s." "Disappeared for a while" "Only to turn up as Banco di Santo Spírito" "With a whole new disguise" "And even more power than before." "He was running the Vatican bank." "We think that's where Starik" "Was laundering his funds." "Those Russian bastards were so naive." "They actually thought $63 billion" "Would have an impact on the market." "The plan might have worked in the '50s,but now..." "On average, the daily turnover" "Is $1.9 trillion..." "Kholstomer is over." "It's finished." "Why would I want to help the CIA, jack?" "Because you'll rot for the rest of your life" "In your cell, Yevgeny." "No one will know." "No one will care." "We'll bury you in a pauper's grave." "Not even a going away party" "For an old schoolmate?" "I want you to find him for me." "Who?" "You know who." "Now what makes you think that I know where he is?" "We'll release you-- time served," "Send you back to crumbling mother Russia." "The KGB will keep you on ice for a while." "That's par for the course," "But they'll let you once they know" "You have no agenda." "When that happen get in touch with Leo," "Then contact us and let me know where he is." "It's a simple assignment..." "No shortwave radios, no codes to decipher." "Are--you're actually serious about this." "Why in the hell would I do that, jack?" "The KGB is trying desperately" "To hold on to its control," "Even as Gorbachev brings us closer to détente." "We have some very disgruntled KGB employees" "Flooding in to America" "All looking for asylum," "All bringing actual information." "The great game is coming to a close, Yevgeny." "Gorbachev released 3,00isoners of the state" "Last October." "Azalia Ivanova was in that group."

"Or are you back to Yevgeny again?" "Come to keep me company?" "You're not doing a very good job" "Of hiding out these days." "What's the point?" "How did you find me anyway?" "KGB." "I told them I wanted to, uh..." "Pay you a social visit" "And they didn't seem to care." "Nobody cares about me anymore, Yevgeny." "Someone from Gorbachev's inner circle" "Occasionally asks me my opinion" "About something going on in America." "Somebody has replaced us on the front lines now." "Gorbachev's corroded the power of the KGB." "The KGB are chomping at the bit" "To get rid of him," "Get back to their old ways." "They can't decide if he's trying" "To reform the communist system" "Or do away with it entirely." "It's not the Russia I grew up in." "It's not the ideal I fought for all these years." "Jack wanted me to find you." "I thought this was a social visit." "Jack's obviously got something that you want," "Or you wouldn't be here." "It's nice of you to let me know." "Thank you for that" "We owe each other that much, Comrade" "It's as if uncle's mind has left him" "The soviet army is on the streets of Moscow..." "The worst fears of supporters of democracy" "Have now been realized." "Yeah?" "It's a coup d'état, Ebby." "I just got word that Kryuchkov" "Still has Gorbachev in a dacha" "Loaded up on vodka and pills." "Coup leaders are telling the world that Gorbachev" "Is medically unfit to lead the country." "It's all crumbing around him." "What's the word on the streets, jack?" "This is an opportunity." "To do what?" "To back Yeltsin." "And Gorbachev, whether or not he gets out of this thing" "Has lost his balls in the coup, Ebby." "He's been castrated in the eyes of the people." "But this guy..." "Yeltsin could do it." "Yeah, he wants liberal reform." "The heart of the people in his hands." "He can bring democracy to Russia if we're there" "To support him." "If he can take power." "Yeah, if."

"Makes me want to..." "Makes me want to keep living." "I'm glad for you, Azalia." "For me, there's, uh..." "Very little to live for..." "Except for you." "I'm trying to find a way to hate you..." "Hate you for leaving me the way you did..." "But I cannot." "I cannot, Yevgeny," "Even after all these years." "Don't, Yevgeny." "Please." "Is it to late" "It is--it is a source of pain to me" "To think of all the years we've..." "Wasted" "To think of the years I" "I spent in the gulag," "Wondering if you were still alive..." "Hoping." "Can we not try?" "We can try." "Yevgeny..." "We can try." "Get it done, sport?" "He was already dead." "I wanted to." "I wanted to kill him." "But..." "I just couldn't." "Oh, you're a better man than me, sport." "So the great game goes on" "With or without us." "Ohh." "Without us, I guess." "Think we made a difference, Harvey," "Any difference at all?" "God, I hope so, sport." "No, nowadays people have short memories." "They forget there was a time that the Goths were at the Gate" "You and me, kid-- we put our warm bodies" "On the firing line," "And we turned 'em back." "You truly believe that?" "You bet I believe it." "Something about the Cold War as to got a moral" "Otherwise what was it all about?" "It was about the good guys beating the bad guys..." "Uh-huh." "But we sure screwed up along the way." "Yeah, but we screwed up a lot less than they did," "Which is why we won?" "Yeah, the--the soviet union wasn't a country." "It was a--it was a metaphor" "For an idea that looked good on the drawing board," "But in practice, it was flawed." "And let me tell you something'." "A metaphor is a lot harder to slay than a country," "And we clobbered them in the end." "Yeah." "You got to remember what it was all about." "It was always black and white, kid" "Right versus wrong." "There were good guys, and there were bad guys." "Which side were we again, Harvey?" "We won didn't we!" "?"
