"?" "?" "?" "?" "Come on!" "Shh." "Go straight through this to the end." "It will take you under the road." "When you come up, you'll be on the other side of the Wall." "Just inside No Man's Land." "On the Western side, you will see a red light." "Head straight for it." "That is the way through the minefield." "The way to freedom!" "We will never forget you, Doctor." "?" "?" "?" "?" "Halt!" "(woman gasps)" "You are under arrest." "Nein!" "Nein, nein!" "(crying)" "(dog barking, siren wailing in distance)" "(woman whimpering)" "(theme music playing)" "(disc drive whirs)" "MALE VOICE (on recording):" "Good morning, Jim." "Dr. Wolfgang Gerstner's practice in East Berlin is a front for an extensive black market operation, which includes an escape route for those who want to reach the West." "Except most of those people never make it." "This man is Colonel Joseph Batz, East German security." "He's Gerstner's partner." "They are responsible for the death or imprisonment of over 100 men, women, and children." "Their profits depend on the continuation of the Berlin Wall, and the political tension it symbolizes." "This girl is Ilse Bruck." "Her father, a key West German negotiator at the trade talks, beginning in three days' time, was sent this photograph." "Gerstner has kidnapping the girl, and has placed her in an artificially-induced coma." "He has offered to trade her life for the failure of the negotiations between East and West." "Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find the girl, bring her back across the Wall, and put Dr. Gerstner out of business." "As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions." "This disc will self-destruct in five seconds." "Good luck, Jim." "(beeping)" "(beeping continues)" "PHELPS:" "We go in here at Checkpoint Charlie." "Nicholas, you and Max will drive the truck through." "The rest of us will walk in." "Now once we cross No Man's Land into East Berlin, there can't be any mistakes, or we spend the next few years in Siberia." "(beeps)" "This will be our main headquarters." "It's well-Iocated for operation, and safe." "Provided by the same contacts who did the surveillance footage of Gerstner and Batz." "What about the girl who was kidnapped?" "There's been no publicity at all, not a word." "For diplomatic reasons, the West Germans are treating it as an ordinary crime." "How long have we got?" "From the time we arrive, we'll just have 48 hours till negotiations begin." "Now, the most important thing we have going for us is that Dr. Gerstner has only Colonel Batz for his security and protection." "That's his weakness." "And we're going to exploit it." "PHELPS:" "Grant, you'll be on your own." "We won't be able to reach you." "I'll make it, Jim." "RADIO ANNOUNCER:" "Remains that the trade talks, beginning in two days, could be a breakthrough in East-West relations." "Whether the spirit of Perestroika and Glasnost can be transformed into concrete terms... (woman shouting happily)" "Oh!" "(gasping with joy)" "(radio report continues)" "Turn the radio off." "RADIO ANNOUNCER:" "refuses to speculate or..." "What cargo are you carrying?" "Tractor engines." "Papers." "Pull the truck over there." "Hey, wait a minute." "You are the one who will be waiting... over there." "(beep, chirp)" "(medical monitor beeping steadily)" "Very good, Fraulein Bruck." "Listen to me." "I know you can hear me." "You are doing very nicely." "Let us hope your father is wise enough to keep his mouth shut." "Otherwise, you will never leave this room alive." "(door squeaks shut)" "Search the truck." "Thank you." "Thank you." "There is a problem." "Come on, man." "That's me, I'll tell you." "Go outside." "Get going." "GRANT:" "What's wrong?" "Let's go." "Let's move." "This way." "This way." "This way." "Take him to the car." "MAN:" "Yes, this way, this way." "In here." "Oh." "Stand..." "Stand back." "Oh." "Wait a minute now." "I demand to talk to the U.S. Consulate." "What's wrong with you people?"

"MAN:" "Come in." "Would you mind telling me what the hell is going on here?" "!" "GRANT:" "I'm Thomas Elliot, an American citizen." "Doesn't that prove it?" "These are forged." "Now, whoever you are, you are a spy." "Two minutes, Max." "Right." "You have no freedom here." "You have no rights." "And I am losing patience!" "What are you up to?" "Unless you enjoy pain, start talking now." "(device beeps)" "I'm willing to talk, Colonel." "But just to you." "No one else." "You are trying to bargain with me?" "Once bad luck has come, open the gates." "What kind of double-talk is that?" "I'm surprised, Colonel." "That happens to be one of" "Major Kirov's favorite Russian proverbs." "My name is Rafael Cruz." "I hold the rank of captain in the Cuban Armed Forces." "I was trained at Moscow Center, and I'm currently seconded to the 12th Directorate." "(laughing)" "I must say, that is original." "The forged passport was deliberate." "It seemed to the easiest way to arrange this meeting without arousing suspicion." "You expect me to believe this nonsense?" "You are familiar with a Major Alexei Kirov of the KGB?" "Everyone knows of Major Kirov." "His friends call him Alexei." "Alexei is my case officer." "I suggest you call him." "(beeping)" "(sighs)" "The codeword for my operation is "larceny."" "That's it." "We should be locked in to Batz's private line." "With no time to spare." "(keypad beeps over phone line)" "Got him." "He's calling the KGB." "Major Kirov's office." "I would like to speak with the major." "It's Colonel Batz." "I'm calling regarding a man named Rafael Cruz." "Just a moment." "Major Kirov." "Major..." "Colonel Batz." "(over phone):" "I'm with East German security." "I have a man in my office who claims to be working with you." "The code is "larceny."" "That is correct, Colonel." "Rafael Cruz." "If he's the right man, he would know the countersign." "The word is "death."" "The countersign?" ""Death," Colonel." "He is the man." "Captain Cruz will brief you, Colonel." "I expect you to cooperate fully." "Thank you, Major." "Satisfied, Colonel?" "What do you want?" "The KGB have proof that corruption exists in your organization." "Black market activities." "My job is to identify the criminals." "What do you need?" "My men?" "I have my own agents." "No one else is to know, Colonel." "As far as they're concerned," "I'm an American tourist you picked up on suspicion." "But of course." "I want to go through your current security files." "Specifically, men who have been transferred here within the last six months." "How did it go?" "We cut it close." "But Colonel Batz had an educational conversation with Major Kirov." "Good work." "Now put me in touch with Dr. Gerstner." "Right." "(phone rings)" "Excuse." "Dr. Gerstner." "How can I help you?" "Doctor, this is an emergency." "My name is Schonbrun." "Herr Schonbrun." "I'm referred by someone who claims East can become West for a price." "If it's an emergency, call a hospital." "Dr. I need your travel services." "Call me later." "No, no, no, it must be now!" "I will pay whatever is necessary." "Meet me one hour from now at the south end of the soccer stadium." "Is Dr. Gerstner expecting us?" "Mm-hmm, now all we have to do is convince him to help us." "Dr. Gerstner?" "Herr Schonbrun?" "This is my daughter." "Fraulein Schonbrun." "Thank you for meeting us." "Your telephone call was not very specific, Herr Schonbrun." "What exactly do you expect of me?" "Well, the travel services my friend said you provide." "I'm a doctor." "I don't arrange holidays." "Permanent holidays, Doctor, for both my daughter and myself." "Herr Doctor, please." "You are only..." "Martha, please don't." "The kind of thing you're talking about can be... expensive." "I understand." "I'll consider it." "You'll come to my clinic in a week." "No, no, no, it must be now!" "Tonight at the latest." "Out of the question." "Doctor, if I'm in East Berlin tomorrow morning, people will come looking for me." "People?" "I work for a bank." "The ledgers, there may be some discrepancies." "Uh, people will blame me." "Please, Herr Doctor?" "100,000 marks." "100?" "I was told your fee was 20,000." "100,000 marks now." "Half now, half at the border." "Very well." "You will accompany me to my clinic." "(drill whirring)" "I must close the clinic." "You will remain in my special waiting room." "(cabinet rumbles softly)" "(Ioud click)" "Max, they're in place." "I'll call Grant." "(watch beeping)" "Do you have an appointment?" "As a matter of fact, I do." "I'd like copies made of these documents." "I'll send for them later." "Are they problems you'd like me to investigate?" "The KGB's quite capable of conducting its own investigation." "Colonel." "?" "?" "REPORTER:" "There have been serious problems at the important East-West Trade Conference." "Karl Bruck, special negotiator for the West, has suddenly called for an emergency meeting to be held later tonight." "With only one full day left... (phone ringing) apparently Karl Bruck wishes to reconsider certain terms of the agenda." "Dr. Gerstner." "Why are you calling me here?" "This line is secure, and I had to speak with you." "(clears throat)" "There's a KGB investigation." "You must suspend all activities." "Who do they suspect?" "A Cuban officer working with the KGB has... (keys jangling)" "Has been here all afternoon." "You must release Ilse Bruck." "The black market is one thing, but kidnapping goes too far." "The girl is my business." "She is our business." "If anything goes wrong, we could both be shot." "I will handle the girl." "This call is the greatest risk of all." "Do not contact me again!" "(click, dial tone)" "?" "?" "You may come out now." "PHELPS:" "Is it time to leave?" "Herr Schonbrun, there has been a change of plans." "(gun cocks)" "State Security." "Everyone stay where you are." "What's going on?" "I'm Dr. Gerstner." "PHELPS:" "Run Gerstner through the whole routine:" "Wake, sleep, interrogation, every hour on the hour." "I want him to think he's been here for days." "Well, the drugs we're giving him are strong sedatives, combined with time-release hallucinogens." "We won't use direct injections unless absolutely necessary." "But every sip of that water he takes contains two cc's of the mixture." "Use whatever you have to." "An 18-year-old girl's life depends on how fast we can squeeze the information out of him." "You ready, Max?" "Right." "(switch clacks)" "(groans)" "(whistling)" "(Gerstner panting)" "You're a criminal, Gerstner." "I've done nothing." "You're a stinking black marketeer." "(panting)" "Who are your accomplices?" "How..." "How long have I been here?" "You'll stay here and rot... until you cooperate." "I'm thirsty." "A drink." "(tin cup clinking)" "(water splashes)" "(Gerstner panting)" "Name your accomplices." "(panting)" "Drink." "A drink." "(Gerstner panting)" "(footsteps, door squeaks shut)" "(sighs)" "(switch clacks)" "(switch clacks)" "Stop it!" "I've done nothing!" "Stop it!" "(switch clacks)" "GERSTNER:" "Stop it!" "(weakly):" "Stop it... (sobs, sighs)" "PHELPS:" "Hmm." "Yeah, the bruises look good." "He's ready." "(Gerstner grunts)" "(sighs)" "(slap, grunt)" "(man grunts)" "MAN:" "How much did you pay him?" "(grunts)" "Who is working with Gerstner?" "(Phelps groans quietly)" "How long have I been here?" "Who are you working with?" "No one." "I've done nothing." "You're starving me." "Cooperate." "(switch clacks)" "Ready, Colonel?" "Ready." "Should I... mention the reward?" "No, I think I'd let Grant handle that." "If the ransom money doesn't get through to him, the idea of being able to walk away scot-free certainly should." "Colonel Batz, you will answer our questions." "These accusations of corruption within our organization are without basis in fact." "What of Ilse Bruck?" "Have you any evidence where she's being held?" "NICHOLAS (as Batz):" "I have done all I can." "I have assigned my best agents to this investigation." "Have more agents been assigned to the case because the West has offered one million U.S. Dollars for her safe return, as well as full amnesty for those involved?" "(laughs quietly)" "Ilse Bruck will be returned because it is our duty and responsibility, not because of monetary rewards or incentives." "I see." "The only monetary rewards and incentives that you are interested in are the bribes you receive." "I am innocent." "You are a liar!" "Colonel, we have the proof." "And now, from your lips, I want your accomplices." "(sighs)" "(panting)" "It was Gerstner." "Dr. Gerstner!" "He arranged everything!" "Traitor!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "(panting)" "Are you ready to talk?" "I told the truth." "I've done nothing." "We better tape this." "Right." "(sighs)" "(Max sighs)" "You're a fool, Gerstner." "Your friends have sold you out." "Batz has sold you out." "No." "No, they wouldn't sell me out." "Colonel Batz, least of all." "If I told what I knew... the smuggling, the... the killings... they would all be shot!" "All of them!" "(Max chuckles)" "(panting)" "(shouting):" "You sell me out, Batz," "I will sell you out!" "It was Batz who first came to me with the plan." "That's all I need." "It'll take a few minutes to dupe and edit the parts we can use." "Face the wall." "Bring in the other two." "You're an enemy of the state, Doctor." "You need not worry about prison." "You'll be taken outside... and shot." "You agreed to help them across the Wall." "You were paid 50,000 marks." "No." "No, it's a lie." "They came to me as a doctor." "No good, Doctor." "He told us." "Not much of a banker." "Not much of a hero." "Mm, of course, when he's reminded of what could happen to..." "You leave her alone!" "(grunting, gunshot, gasp)" "(groans)" "CASEY:" "No." "(gasps)" "(panting)" "They deserved to die." "Yes, yes." "Quickly, undo the handcuffs before the others come." "You will lead us across." "You have my word." "All right, now, we go, quickly." "I will lead you, but first we must... pick up someone on the way." "No, none of your tricks." "No, no tricks." "She's..." "She's at the warehouse where we must go." "What warehouse?" "5 Koenigstrasse." "You won't get across without me." "Colonel." "I wish to play this." "No, they wouldn't sell me out." "If I told what I knew..." "the smuggling, the killings... they would all be shot!" "All of them." "Do you know that man?" "No." "His name's Gerstner." "A doctor." "A few more hours, and he would have given us everything." "Would have given?" "He escaped." "Killing two of my best men." "I want Gerstner caught, Colonel... alive." "Until he can give us the name of his partner." "I'll start an immediate search." "Colonel Batz." "Have this tape delivered to Major Kirov." "Of course." "?" "?" "(monitor beeping)" "We just tripped the security device." "With the power out," "wouldn't the life support system be out, too?" " Yes." "She may be in here." "(steady tone)" "(steady tone continues)" "(steady tone)" "She's only been off life support for a minute." "Max, find the power source and reconnect." "Hold this." "I've got to disconnect the I.V." "(steady tone continues)" "(gasping)" "(beeping)" "Yes, when her rhythm becomes constant, it'll be safe to disconnect." "When she wakes up, talk to her and help her to understand." "Good work, Max." "Can we move Ilse?" "Soon." "Better get Gerstner in." "We're still running on a tight schedule." "Major Kirov." "I have just had a call from your Captain Cruz concerning the criminal Gerstner and an escape attempt." "Captain Cruz is not one of my staff." "But yes, sir, the Cuban." "Arrest him." "Major, Dr. Gerstner is the one who kidnapped Ilse Bruck." "Yes, and you were his accomplice." "I don't even know the man." "You sell me out, Batz!" "I'll sell you out!" "It was Batz who first came to me with the plan." "But you're all right." "How do you feel?" "I'm scared." "I'm sure." "We're still in East Berlin, and you're gonna have to be brave for a little while longer." "But I've contacted your father, and he'll be meeting you on the other side." "Oh, thank you!" "It's time to get started." "You'll be fine." "Take her out to the truck." "How did it go?" "Major Kirov has Batz." "He's also notified the East German police about this place." "All right, all we have to do is finish off with Gerstner." "(capsule snaps)" "Hurry, Doctor, hurry." "We must go across now." "You must lead us." "It is time to go across, Herr Doctor." "My daughter is going into the tunnel." "She's going into the tunnel now." "Who are you?" "What's happening here?" "You're dead." "You are both dead." "It's a dream." "A terrible dream." "Batz has told us everything." "No, it's a lie!" "Ilse is still here." "We have to hide you behind this panel, just while the truck crosses the border." "We're gonna go across on foot." "It'll be all right." "Time to move." "Max." "(distant sirens wailing)" "No!" "She can't be gone." "I'm the one who will take her back." "No, no..." "I can't be here." "(sirens wailing)" "(soldiers speaking in distance)" "(truck door opens)" "(engine accelerating)" "?" "?" "(dogs barking fiercely)" "We've made our delivery." "We're empty." "Papers." "Search it."
