0:00:32 > 0:00:34- WOMAN:- Who am I then?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Tell me that first,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41If not,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'll stay down here till I'm somebody else.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58PHONE: 'Gene, is that you?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00'Yes, it's me.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05'Ah, dear boy, it is a comfort to hear your voice.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'Do you realise, Gene, this is our 17th conversation?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13'You are all I do, Gene.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Every six months, I am obliged to move to a new apartment.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23I settle in, wait to be contacted, only to move on again.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27'I think you are reason I remain alive.'
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Gene, the Old Man wants you to come home.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Home?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37'You mustn't fear going home, dear boy.'
0:01:37 > 0:01:42But I am afraid I am bearer of bad news.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It is your father, Gene.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46'He's not well.'
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- TV:- The American military headquarters in Vietnam.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Once known as Pentagon East.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now the huge building was a last ditch holding area,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00to avoid the threat of surface-to-air missiles.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Sir.- Thanks, Rose.- You're welcome.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14PHONE RINGS
0:02:14 > 0:02:16McAuliffe.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Mr McAuliffe, this is Manny Ebbitt in the Operations Center.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21What's with the "Mr McAuliffe", Manny?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Wanted to make it official, Jack. Looks like we got a walk-in.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26'OK, I'll come over.'
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- MANNY:- Last week at the Smithsonian, this woman strikes up a conversation with a Russian diplomat.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37They chat and end up having lunch.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Tonight, out of the blue, he shows up at her doorstep.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- How did he get the address? - He knew her name.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46After a long talk, she decides to trust him and lets him come up to her place.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And he tells her his whole story.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51She agrees to help and calls us.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53What does he want?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What any defector wants. Asylum.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Gonna go through my underwear, too?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Ma'am. Be outside if you need me, Sir.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Would you mind waiting in the other room?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I'd mind if I thought someone would notice. Good luck, Sergei.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22No. I am... I'm not wanting that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Let's chat then. Off the record,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34what is your job at the embassy, Mr Kukushkin?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Political attache is my diplomatic cover.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I am rank of captain in KGB.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- You may call me Sergei. - And what do you want with us, Sergei?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Political asylum in America.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49For me, for my wife, for my seven-years daughter.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What made you decide to come over?
0:03:53 > 0:03:59I am disillusioned with corruption, with inefficiency of Soviet Socialist model.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I believe in Mother Russia, but not Soviet Russia.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No offence, Sergei,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09but it sounds kinda thin to me.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14My wife, she is heart sick.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19She is taking medicine for many years, but is getting worse.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I want her to have good doctor - American doctor.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- She needs surgery?- That is correct.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Why didn't you come before? Why now?
0:04:28 > 0:04:34Borisov, KGB resident in Washington, is schoolmate of mine from Lomonosov University.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40From him, I know KGB has what you call a mole inside the CIA.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Impossible for me to come over before.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45The mole would tell KGB.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Me, my family would be...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Two days ago, after much whisky,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Borisov is telling me both mole and cutout of mole are out of city.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00This is moment I must act.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02If you can identify the mole, Sergei,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04we could bring you and your family over
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and make sure that the KGB never found you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14I do not think even resident knows his identity, only that he exists.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18But you already know he is not in Washington. Narrows down list.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And I am able to provide...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24other particulars.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28By telling us this mole and his cutout are out of the country,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Pinnacle gives us the first plausible detail.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34That could make him a genuine defector.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36When's this, uh...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- What name are we giving this guy? - Pinnacle.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42When's this Pinnacle gonna give us some information, Jack?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46He gave me one item - the code name of the mole - Sasha.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49When we bring the Russian and his family to the other side,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53he'll give us the first initial of Sasha's family name,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56as well as the dates of a previous vacation that he took.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00The dates correspond to a trip that Starik was on as well.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Pinnacle will give us corroborating paperwork to verify this.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06With these two pieces of information,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- we should be able to nail his identity cold.- Jim, assessment?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13There is a chance this could be a genuine defection.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18But even if he is genuine, Starik is more likely dangling some bait in front of my nose.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, let's take the worst case. Let's say Pinnacle is bait.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23He's offering us the mole - Sasha's identity -
0:06:23 > 0:06:26as well as dozens of other juicy titbits.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29We should be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Almost impossible to do. If Pinnacle is real,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36we'll need to go through a lengthy process to establish this fact.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37If he is a dispatched agent,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Starik is going through a great deal of trouble
0:06:40 > 0:06:42and we'll need to find out why.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44We have two weeks, according to Pinnacle.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46That's when Sasha returns.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Debriefing a defector is an art unto itself.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55It's not simply a matter of asking the right questions,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58but not asking the right questions too quickly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Very delicate game - very delicate.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'd like to bring someone in on this.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Defections take time, Sergei.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- How much time?- Five, six weeks.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Sasha is back in Washington before five weeks!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20In five weeks, I am dead man!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Calm down, Sergei, there's a way out of this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24There is no way out of coffin!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26PHONE RINGS
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- What should I do? - Does anyone ever call you this late?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Just my mother a few times. Could be her.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Answer it.- But what if it isn't her? What do I say?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Don't say anything. You're a woman having an affair with a married man.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45You'll naturally be evasive, secretive.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Hello?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51No, there's no-one here by that name.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55You're welcome, goodbye.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The SK is having her phone number.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03They are checking on me to see if there is woman here.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04He had an accent.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Your people trust you as much as we do!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Thank you. You did very well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15So, this is how you play me, Jack?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- You make me to give you now, everything.- No, not everything.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Give us the first initial of Sasha's last name,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and when he was absent from Washington before.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Is everything I have to bargain with!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30How do I know you are not leaving me out in the cold? Huh?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32How can I not know?
0:08:32 > 0:08:37You give us Sasha, you'll never have to worry about your well-being again,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39or that of your wife or daughter.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41How can she visit doctor?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43KGB will get suspicious.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48She'll complain of a toothache.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It will require several visits to a dentist on our payroll.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57At the dentist's office, there will be a top cardiologist from Walter Reed Hospital waiting for her.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The Company has roughly 20,000 regular employees
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and 4,000 contract employees.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Clandestine System alone has 5,000 -
0:09:09 > 0:09:134,000 in Washington - another 1,000 spread over the globe.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18You're loving this, aren't you, Jim? Taking your time, drawing it out.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Your moment on the stage after years sitting in a dark little room
0:09:21 > 0:09:23with your little bits of information.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Torriti, we'll hear him out.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You will want to hear me out, Harvey.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Because my tentative conclusion
0:09:30 > 0:09:35is that Pinnacle may be that rarest of breeds - a genuine defector.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38You want to walk us through the information, Jim?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Information. Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Number one.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Pinnacle claims "Sasha" is a Russian speaker.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Two.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Sasha's last name begins with the letter...K.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The computer came back with the names
0:09:59 > 0:10:02of 244 Russian-speaking Company employees
0:10:02 > 0:10:05who have a last name beginning with the letter K,
0:10:05 > 0:10:10all of whom are expected to be away from Washington till Sunday.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Which...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14brings me to the point that I've...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17put on the back burner for 13 years.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22You need the patience of a saint for counter-intelligence.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Nurturing seemingly... meaningless bits of data,
0:10:27 > 0:10:33amassing and collecting thousands of unrelated facts,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36creating and interlocking...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41..a picture which really only comes into focus
0:10:41 > 0:10:43through your own interpretation.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48And all the while, you hear voices whispering behind your back.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Mother's obsessed, they say. Paranoid.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58A conclusion searching for confirmatory evidence.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Believe me, I heard it all, I heard every word.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The information, Mother?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11I always knew...
0:11:15 > 0:11:19..if we could find Sasha's cutout, we could find Sasha.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23And that is what I've been waiting for all this time.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26In 1961,
0:11:26 > 0:11:32the FBI stumbled across an old Communist named Max Cohen -
0:11:32 > 0:11:35aka Kahn.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Kahn provided the perfect cover
0:11:36 > 0:11:39for a Soviet cutout who lived above his store
0:11:39 > 0:11:43who delivered liquor to hundreds of clients in the Washington area.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48The cutout went by the name of Dodgson, which, curiously,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52was the real name of Lewis Carroll,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56author of Alice in Wonderland.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It makes you wonder if Starik isn't, like Lewis Carroll,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02creating worlds within worlds
0:12:02 > 0:12:07for all of us to get lost in.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Dodgson got away, but I didn't forget him. Not for a moment.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13All these years, nurturing bits of data,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15seemingly meaningless pieces of evidence.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You have to have the patience of a saint.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21James.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I looked over Kahn's delivery invoices for the past ten years,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31and discovered that some time in the '50s,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Dodgson had been delivering to a double agent -
0:12:35 > 0:12:40my friend and former colleague - Adrian Philby.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41With Philby gone,
0:12:41 > 0:12:47it seemed logical to suppose that Dodgson would act as a cutout
0:12:47 > 0:12:48for Philby's replacement.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50His replacement?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Sasha.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Starik knew he could sacrifice Philby.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Sasha was still delivering valuable information.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Checking through Kahn's clients
0:13:03 > 0:13:06who had been on the receiving end of deliveries
0:13:06 > 0:13:08during the previous ten years,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I was able to identify the names
0:13:10 > 0:13:15of 167 full-time Company employees
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and 64 contract employees.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20You matched the liquor delivery list
0:13:20 > 0:13:23against the names of Company employees
0:13:23 > 0:13:25who are currently out of the country,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29whose last names began with K, and who spoke Russian?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31That's pretty damned clever, James.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It seemed too good to be true.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It was.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41None of the names cross-referenced.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It may have looked like a dead end to the ordinary eye.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48But not to mine.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Last Saturday, as my wife was on the telephone
0:13:52 > 0:13:56making restaurant reservations in her maiden name -
0:13:56 > 0:13:57security precautions.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It hit me Sasha could have a wife.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08Sasha could have his wife order the liquor from Kahn's, using her maiden name.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13In the six years between Philby's disappearance and Max Kahn's arrest,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I've compared the maiden names
0:14:15 > 0:14:17of the wives Dodgson had delivered liquor to,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20against the suspects from the Pinnacle leads.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21It's brilliant!
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So what was the maiden name?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You're not going to like it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Why?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Was it great? Tell me everything.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42It was wonderful. The French countryside, the food, the wine.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Everything, except for the part
0:14:44 > 0:14:48where your father went off to get cigarettes and got completely lost.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- What happened, Daddy?- Your mother thought I had a brief encounter with a local peasant girl,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56but really I just couldn't understand people's directions!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I'm not quite convinced that he didn't have an affair with a French girl.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I can't speak French well enough to order lunch,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05let alone lure some stranger into bed.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Mr Kritzky, I've been instructed to hand deliver this eyes-only letter to you, Sir.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- What is it, Daddy?- The director wants to see me right away.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Doesn't say why.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Sir, I have transportation waiting.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26What department are you with?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm with the Department of Internal Security, sir.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32What's going on, Leo?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Erika, would you drive your mother home? Sorry, darling.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'll be home in time for dinner.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Hey!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43What is this?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Lean forward, Mr Kritzky, and put your head between your knees.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I will not, you little bastard!
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Place your clothes on this table one article at a time, very slowly. Start with the left shoe.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You want me to strip?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Why?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07No talking.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10We must search your clothes, then do a cavity search.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13A cavity search?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17This is absurd! You call William Colby DCI, immediately.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You tell him that Leo Kritzky is being held here.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21He'll clear up any confusion you...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Now, shall we start again, Mr Kritzky?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Your left shoe, slowly, please.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07How about...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16..we begin with your father?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Jim, it's me, Leo. Leo Kritzky.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Start with your father.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37They strip-searched me for God's sake.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Can I have some water, please?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Water in the bowl.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54You're out of your damn mind.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02You're crazy if you think I'm going to drink out of a toilet!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04When you get thirsty enough, you will.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Bill, for Christ's sakes, this has got be a blind alley.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09I've known Leo since Yale.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13We rowed together. We roomed together.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm the godfather to his children.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I would stake my life on him.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And what if it's true, Jack?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It isn't.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It can't be true.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27All those ops that went sour on Torriti...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Your assets in Berlin - the professor and the ballet dancer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- What was her name? Rainbow, Sniper?- Rainbow?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Kritzky worked with The Wiz in the '50s, he knew all about your Budapest mission.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42He was Bissell's right hand man during the Bay of Pigs.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Who better, who better to be a KGB mole
0:18:44 > 0:18:47than the man running the Soviet Division?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51This kind of thing's happened before. Philby, for one.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Leo's wife, she was the White House legislative aide during the Johnson Presidency.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Just imagine the kind of inside stuff he could have gotten on Vietnam!
0:19:00 > 0:19:01It makes me sick to my stomach.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03You're going to stay in this room
0:19:03 > 0:19:07until you've answered all my questions, many times.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09We're going to go over and over your life,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12before and after you joined the Company.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Weeks, months,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19it's really no skin off my nose.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I'm not in any hurry.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Would you like to begin with your father
0:19:25 > 0:19:27or should I come back tomorrow?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37You son of a bitch.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52My father's name was Abraham Kritzky.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58He was born in the Jewish quarter of Vilnius, in November of 1896.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Emigrated to America in the 1910 pogroms.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Go on.
0:20:05 > 0:20:12He got a job working at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory
0:20:12 > 0:20:15sewing bands inside hats.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19He was there when the famous fire of 1911 broke out
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and killed 150 seamstresses.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25He got out with his sewing machine strapped to his back
0:20:25 > 0:20:28when firemen hacked open a locked fire door.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Did the experience make him bitter?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Yeah, of course it made him bitter.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Did it turn him against capitalism?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Jim, you know, I went over all this when I was recruited.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The Company knows everything. There are no secrets.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47My father's a Socialist, it's common knowledge.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He was a bleeding heart, which wasn't a federal crime
0:20:51 > 0:20:55until the House Un-American Activities came along.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You were born October 29th,
0:21:00 > 0:21:021929, the day...
0:21:02 > 0:21:06The day the stock market crashed. Are you going to read something into that too?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10By then, your father had started a small business.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12The crash wiped him out.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Yeah, the banks called in his loans.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19He'd bought the Brownstone on Grand Street, and he lost everything.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And then what happened?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I could come back...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36tomorrow, after my 11 o'clock conference call,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38if you'd prefer that.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42He jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49They found his body washed up under the pier the next morning.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Did capitalism kill your father?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58No, my father killed himself.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Did capitalism kill your father?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Capitalism in the '20s and '30s created conditions
0:22:07 > 0:22:10that caused a great many people to kill themselves,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12including the capitalists
0:22:12 > 0:22:15who threw themselves out of Wall Street windows in 1929.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17You going to interrogate their sons?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Mmm...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20TURNS PAGES
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Jim, my wife is going to start asking questions
0:22:23 > 0:22:25when I don't turn up at home.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31By now, the director will have phoned Adelle
0:22:31 > 0:22:32and apologised profusely
0:22:32 > 0:22:36for packing you off to Asia on such short notice.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41"Something's come up," he will have told her. "You'll understand if I don't provide details, Mrs Kritzky."
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Your wife will have taken the news bravely.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Of course, she will inquire as to when you might be returning.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Well, when might he be returning?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- 'It could take some time.' - The director will have said.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I've instructed him to maintain radio silence,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59so he may not be able to speak with you any time soon.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But I will call you personally, when I have more to tell you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- She might say... - Will he be in any danger?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08"None whatsoever," the director will reassure her.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11"You have my personal word on that."
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Thank you, Sir.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Mommy!- I'm coming, Max.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Papa...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Yevgeny!
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Olive? Afraid I'm out at the moment.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Twist? Haven't got that either, old boy.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Got ice.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Plenty of that in Moscow.
0:24:20 > 0:24:27Starik send you round to check up on me, Eugene?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Is that what you call yourself?
0:24:28 > 0:24:33No, Starik doesn't even know that I'm here. I brought you these.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Ah, well...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38that's awfully kind of you, Eugene.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I do love to check up on the latest from Savile Row.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Good Lord, prices have skyrocketed.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00How's Russia treating you?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Get anything I want in Moscow.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Easy as falling off a log.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Just draw up a shopping list.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Mango chutney from Harrod's, beluga from the Caspian.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20It's more upscale than your average English slammer, mind you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26I first saw the light of communism way back in Cambridge,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd be living here.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Who'd have thought I'd be living in America?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40They tell me I need round the clock minding,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42to prevent MI6 from...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44knocking me off,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47but what they're really afraid of
0:25:47 > 0:25:53is that Jimbo Angleton may have turned me into a t... triple agent.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55By God, if I was a triple agent,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00I'd be up nights trying to figure out which side I was working for.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Starik didn't send you to check up on me?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I miss the great game, Eugene.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, thanks for the drink.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Come back and see me again before you go back,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28won't you?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Love to chat about...
0:26:30 > 0:26:35what's happening these days in the colonies, as it were.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yes, I'd like that.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Goodbye.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Let me take a look at this hero of Mother Russia.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58You have not changed, Yevgeny.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05For a long time, I have been planning Kholstomer.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Since the 1950s, the KGB has been retaining hard currency
0:27:11 > 0:27:14from the sales of our national gas company,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16as well as oil sales abroad,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20and placing the proceeds into shell companies.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26The amount in these shells now total more than 63 billion in American dollars.
0:27:26 > 0:27:2863 billion?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The beauty of Kholstomer
0:27:30 > 0:27:34is that the dollars are held in banks in the city of New York.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36The abrupt sale of our 63 billion
0:27:36 > 0:27:39will suck in people and institutions -
0:27:39 > 0:27:42speculators from all over the world.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Asian and European Central Banks, and the American stock market itself.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49The American economy will crumble.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yes, can you see it, now, Yevgeny?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Americans, British, French -
0:27:54 > 0:27:59the whole western world will suffer an economic holocaust.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01And the peoples of these nations,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05rising up to demand a government of equality, of workers.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09All these nation crying out for change, Yevgeny - for communism.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10With the CIA crippled,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14American minds will be open to a campaign of Communist ideals.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17And the Soviet Union's example of equality, communality,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19and hope for the good within us all
0:28:19 > 0:28:22will shine like a beacon for the world to see.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30I know that you are lonely, homesick, and at times,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33you may wonder if this is all worth it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34It is, Yevgeny.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39And the Soviet people need you to go back.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Back to the front lines for one last battle.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Do the initials "LK" in the upper right-hand corner look familiar?
0:28:57 > 0:29:03Jim, I think that I need a doctor,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06because when I pull on my hair, it comes out in clumps.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10They never turn the lights off and it's driving me insane.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Your name turns up in a great number of op orders
0:29:17 > 0:29:20that were blown or compromised.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Let's go through them, one by one.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Please.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Please, stop.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Just...please stop.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Please stop.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Did you betray Jack McAuliffe's assets in Berlin, codename Rainbow,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- codename Sniper? - God, no. He's my best friend.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Did you betray the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52They turn these lights up brighter when you leave.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56And it's burning right through my eyelids and I can't sleep.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Please, Jim, just let me sleep.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I can't sleep.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08KRITZKY SOBS >
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Please let me sleep, Jim.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22Only tell the truth and I'll let you sleep as long as you want.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35So, what am I supposed to do, Jack? I can't I put a time limit on Mother. It's impossible.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38'He's been chasing shadows since Philby was exposed.'
0:30:38 > 0:30:42He's decimated the Company's entire Soviet Division in this obsession.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46We don't even know if Sasha exists outside of his head!
0:30:46 > 0:30:51Jack, If you don't believe that Sasha exists, then your defector, Pinnacle, can't be the real deal.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55So, which is it? Is Leo Sasha or is Pinnacle a disinformation agent?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It is not the fittest,
0:31:01 > 0:31:05but the most deceptive orchids that survive.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Most orchid species
0:31:08 > 0:31:12depend upon their ability to misrepresent themselves to insects.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14They deceive them
0:31:14 > 0:31:19into landing on them and then, spreading their pollen to other orchids.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24This Trichocereus orchid...
0:31:24 > 0:31:30so perfectly mimics the underside of a female fly,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32down to the hairs and even the odour,
0:31:32 > 0:31:37it actually triggers a mating response in passing male flies.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Jim, I need to know if your judgment has become clouded.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Jack...
0:31:48 > 0:31:49..deception is everything.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54It's an age-old art - arcane, underestimated by kings and leaders.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59Our very survival depends upon our ability to see the truth
0:31:59 > 0:32:01that lies behind this subterfuge.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Counter-intelligence is the weapon we will put all our faith in,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07in order to win this Cold War.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Leo would never betray us.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15As I once thought.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20"My best friend, a double agent!
0:32:20 > 0:32:22"It's absurd beyond belief."
0:32:24 > 0:32:26But I was deceived.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31We were all deceived by his, I must say, elegant artifice.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33And what if you'd caught Philby?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Did you want him telling the world
0:32:35 > 0:32:38that his best friend was his A1 source?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41That James Angleton was giving him top secret files?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45I think that is the last thing that you would want.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Maybe you warned Philby, told him to run.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53The damage was done, but he could do a lot more damage to you, Jim.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55A lot more.
0:32:55 > 0:33:02All those lunches at La Nicoise, talking over state secrets that went from your mouth into Starik's ears.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Scandalous. You'd be out of a job.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08An embarrassment, forced into early retirement.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Well, my, my.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17You certainly are the Sorcerer's apprentice.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Before Adrian...
0:33:20 > 0:33:22betrayed me...
0:33:24 > 0:33:26..I always knew where I was.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Now I'm lost.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We're all lost, Jack.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37We're lost in the wilderness of mirrors.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48My superior had much to drink three nights before.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52He left safe open. While he was sleeping, I look inside files.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I see something that might help you, Mr Jack.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- What did you see?- Sasha went on previous trip to meet with Starik.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02A trip in 1972, to Nova Scotia.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Do you know this place?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Yeah. I know Nova Scotia.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I check files.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Starik went on trip in autumn of 1972.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22You see if perhaps dates match trip your man in custody took.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25You check files.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Thanks. I'll check the files.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Angleton, you bastard! Get me food and water in here, now!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Good cop?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54No, he's genuinely upset.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Still believes he's innocent.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01If he'd just accept the truth, he'd be wringing his neck right now.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Listen to me, this doesn't have to end
0:35:03 > 0:35:06with you spending the rest of your days in prison.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Why would I go to prison?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35It's delicious.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Cold.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47Do you believe it? Do you believe I'm Sasha?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50We know it, Leo.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I'm here to offer you a deal.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54How do you know I'm Sasha?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57We have a Russian defector, Pinnacle.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02This Pinnacle identified me by name, said Leo Kritzky is Sasha?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06He said that Sasha's last name begins with the letter K.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Said he speaks fluent Russian.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Said that the Russian spymaster, Starik,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13was just in the South of France visiting an agent.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18In September of '72, Sasha met Starik in Nova Scotia.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23I was on a bicycle trip with Adelle in Nova Scotia in September of '72, you know that.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Yes, Leo.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32Did it ever occur to you that Starik was feeding you a phoney defector with phoney information?
0:36:32 > 0:36:38It would be easy to look at my daily schedule and concoct some kind of scenario.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40No.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42There are too many coincidences.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Did you flutter him?- We will flutter him when we get him over for good.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Pinnacle will never take a lie detector.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52He'll be run over by a car or mugged in an alleyway
0:36:52 > 0:36:56or whisked back to Mother Russia for some reason that sounds plausible,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59but he won't be fluttered because he will never be brought in.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03He won't be brought in because he's a phoney sent to convince Angleton
0:37:03 > 0:37:09- that I am Sasha.- If you're not, Leo, that means he's still out there.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Yes.- If that's true, then why hasn't Pinnacle been put on ice by the KGB?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Jack, he hasn't been put on ice because Pinnacle is a fake.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21And Sasha, if he exists, knows it - they're all in on it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Starik, the defector, Sasha.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28And they're all manipulating the mind of one paranoid dinosaur, James Jesus Angleton.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Who do you believe? I was your damn crewmate!
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I believe Pinnacle, Leo.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Thanks for the drink, Jack.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I think I'd like you to go now.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Leo, look at the mess that you're in.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Think about your family.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Admit it, and we'll double you.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15We will turn you against Starik.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22The only way I'm leaving this room is in a bag, or walking out that door a free man.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Jack...
0:38:35 > 0:38:37..go to hell!
0:39:09 > 0:39:13There's no reason to think he was coerced into getting on the plane.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15The bastard just up and left.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Pinnacle could have buttonholed a policeman and demanded asylum.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21The fact that he didn't speaks for itself.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22He was going of his own free will.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Yes, well. That's the way it was supposed to appear.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28The safety of his wife and daughter
0:39:28 > 0:39:30was being held over his head as a threat.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34He had to go back or else he would lose his family forever.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Our informant at Moscow's airport has positively identified Kukushkin.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So, he's in Moscow for certain?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Not only that.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Informant says that two men grabbed him, brought him to a car,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- and placed him inside none too gently.- Oh, God.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50We were so careful!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52We have Sasha locked up.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56So how did they know? How in the hell did they know?!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:40:02 > 0:40:04"Traitor Kukushkin trial.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06"Spied for Americans.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08"Betrayer of the Motherland."
0:40:15 > 0:40:17You'd think it'd get easier over time.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21What would?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Losing people.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32People who trusted you.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37People you cared about.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41What should we do now, Jack?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45There's nothing we can do.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Let it go.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Can you do that, Manny?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57PHONE RINGS
0:40:58 > 0:41:00McAuliffe.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Thought you'd want to know, Jack.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06We just got word that Kukushkin was executed this morning by firing squad.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08OK, Manny.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Thanks.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21The hell, Harvey?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23I didn't know you took up golf.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26It's one of the things you do when you're about to be retired.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Have a seat, kid. Get yourself a drink.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Get one for me too.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It's 11 in the morning, Harvey.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I love the fresh air.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I'm getting healthy.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51So, what brings you to my little retirement community?
0:41:51 > 0:41:56Something woke me up last night. It was two things, actually.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59First, Angleton hasn't broken Leo.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01What else?
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Well, number two is actually something Leo said to me
0:42:05 > 0:42:07that stuck with me.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10He said Pinnacle would never be polygraphed.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14He said Kukushkin would be hit by a car, or mugged in an alleyway,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18or whisked back to Mother Russia with some excuse that seemed reasonable.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20So Leo was right.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Yeah. And now this thing is eating away at me night and day.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Was Kukushkin really sent to me just to convince Angleton that Leo was Sasha?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31To keep the heat off the real Sasha?
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Yeah, was I like an insect to one of these orchids Angleton talks about,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38lured by Pinnacle to finger the wrong guy?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Ach!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I think it stinks.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46So, now what?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49You want to know if Kukushkin was really executed
0:42:49 > 0:42:51or if the whole thing was a sham?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54How do we know it even happened? All we have is Pravda to tell us.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56And if Kukushkin is still alive?
0:42:56 > 0:43:01Kukushkin was a disinformation agent sent to frame Leo, and Leo is innocent.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- And the real Sasha's still out there somewhere.- Exactly.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10I gotta go talk to the Rabbi.
0:43:12 > 0:43:17These photographs are Kukushkin, his wife and his daughter.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And here's his last known address,
0:43:19 > 0:43:20safe house in Moscow.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22But if he was not executed,
0:43:22 > 0:43:25if this whole thing was theatre,
0:43:25 > 0:43:28there ought to be a Kukushkin out there somewhere.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31If your people can find out anything,
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- my people would be very grateful. - How grateful, Harvey?
0:43:35 > 0:43:40Would the whereabouts of Klaus Barbie be of any interest to you?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Oh!
0:43:53 > 0:43:57The Rabbi's people used a tried and true method.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59They got the forwarding address off a letter
0:43:59 > 0:44:01sent to Kukushkin's old address.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09After that, it was just a run of the mill surveillance - just waiting around.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13Kukushkin is alive and well and living in the town of Irkutsk.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16I know it's hard for us to accept, but it proves...
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Nothing. Not a thing.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22It proves nothing.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- How do you explain this? - Quite simply.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Starik knew I was getting close to Sasha.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30So what does he do?
0:44:30 > 0:44:33He gives us what we believe is a genuine defector.
0:44:33 > 0:44:40And just when I'm getting close, he pulls the rug out from under me.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Makes me believe that I've got the wrong Sasha.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46That the real Sasha is still out there, somewhere.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55So, of course, we put Leo Kritzky back to work,
0:44:55 > 0:44:59and Starik has got his mole back in our operation.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Created and executed by a grandmaster spy.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Absolutely brilliant.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Jim...
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Leo Kritzky will be released.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Leo Kritzky...
0:45:21 > 0:45:22..is Sasha.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Leo.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53Angleton, all of us, have made a horrible mistake.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Does that mean I get to go home?
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Yeah, buddy.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Home.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08What the hell were you guys doing?
0:46:08 > 0:46:13They were protecting the Company from its enemies.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21APPLAUSE
0:46:28 > 0:46:30All right. All right.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Leo Kritzky's devotion to duty,
0:46:33 > 0:46:36his loyalty to the Company, and his grace under fire
0:46:36 > 0:46:39have set a high standard for all of us
0:46:39 > 0:46:41and for future generations of CIA officers.
0:46:41 > 0:46:47Now, it's the nature of things that only a handful of us are aware of the details of your ordeal, Leo,
0:46:47 > 0:46:50but all of us owe you a debt of gratitude.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53APPLAUSE
0:47:02 > 0:47:05When I came on board as a young man,
0:47:05 > 0:47:08it was with the intention of serving the country
0:47:08 > 0:47:12whose system of governance seemed to offer the best hope for the world.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18I imagined it would take the form of dramatic feats
0:47:18 > 0:47:21of espionage and counter-espionage.
0:47:23 > 0:47:30I have since come to understand that serving in the trenches of the Cold War is no less important.
0:47:30 > 0:47:36As John Milton said, "They also serve who only stand and wait."
0:47:40 > 0:47:42I appreciate this...
0:47:43 > 0:47:45..all of you.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Now I'm gonna get back to my desk,
0:47:51 > 0:47:56- and get on with the tedious, day-to-day business of winning the Cold War.- Leo, welcome back!
0:48:00 > 0:48:02If you never forgive me, Leo, I understand.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04There's nothing to forgive.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09You're my best friend. Always have been.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39CROWDS CHEER
0:49:21 > 0:49:26I... I have an announcement to make.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29James Angleton, to my great regret,
0:49:29 > 0:49:33made his intentions of retirement clear to me earlier this morning.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35I don't need to tell anyone here
0:49:35 > 0:49:37that his contributions to the Company
0:49:37 > 0:49:39are nothing short of legendary.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43Jim, you've worked the trenches and front lines of this war
0:49:43 > 0:49:45long before it was a cold one,
0:49:45 > 0:49:48and if any old warhorse deserves a pasture, it's you.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Any parting words?
0:49:55 > 0:49:57Lenin once said...
0:49:59 > 0:50:01"The West are wishful thinkers,
0:50:01 > 0:50:05"so we will give them what they want to think."
0:50:05 > 0:50:08The Soviets have a master plan -
0:50:08 > 0:50:11feeding layer upon layer of disinformation
0:50:11 > 0:50:14to the wishful thinkers of the West,
0:50:14 > 0:50:17to make them think that we are winning the Cold War.
0:50:17 > 0:50:24Nothing could be further from the truth, gentlemen.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28I have determined that several world leaders
0:50:28 > 0:50:32are either in the employ of, or the pawns of, the KGB.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34Harold Wilson, Prime Minister of England,
0:50:34 > 0:50:38Olaf Palme, Prime Minister of Sweden,
0:50:38 > 0:50:42Willy Brandt, Lester Pearson, former Prime Minister of Canada,
0:50:42 > 0:50:45are all KGB assets.
0:50:45 > 0:50:50Roger Hollis, head of MI5, is a long-time Soviet agent.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54Averell Harriman, the former ambassador to the USSR
0:50:54 > 0:50:58and former governor of New York, has been a Soviet agent
0:50:58 > 0:51:02since the 1930s. Henry Kissinger is a Soviet agent.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11They all defend and advocate
0:51:11 > 0:51:14the Soviet strategy of detente.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21They are part of the disinformation scheme
0:51:21 > 0:51:23to lure us into a...
0:51:26 > 0:51:28..position of comfort...
0:51:30 > 0:51:33..so that we will believe we are winning the Cold War.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Over the last 20 years,
0:51:41 > 0:51:45the CIA has transformed from a network of informants...
0:51:47 > 0:51:52..double agents, case workers, to a shadow of that former self.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54All the handiwork
0:51:57 > 0:52:02..of a Soviet mole inside the CIA, named Sasha.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Starik and Sasha have made certain the world view of America
0:52:05 > 0:52:13has shifted from a beacon of hope and justice...
0:52:15 > 0:52:19..to a tyrannical,
0:52:19 > 0:52:23power-mad, colonialist juggernaut.
0:52:23 > 0:52:28Of course, these facts were not handed to me on a silver platter.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33I teased them...
0:52:34 > 0:52:36I teased them from the wilderness
0:52:37 > 0:52:39..with excruciating...
0:52:39 > 0:52:42attention to the minutiae.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45It takes the patience of a saint.
0:52:46 > 0:52:52Philby, the KGB, Sasha, they've tried to discredit and destroy me for years.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54And now, of course, they have.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02Gentlemen, you do not realise you are surrounded by a wilderness of deception.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Thank you, Jim.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08We will try our best to muddle through without you.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14You will be missed.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27I know it's you, Sasha.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33The Rabbi found Kukushkin far too easily.
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Starik never would've been that sloppy. Never.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44I bear you no hard feelings, Jim.
0:55:03 > 0:55:08- Yes?- Whatever you said scared the hell out of them, comrade Starik.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11They should be scared. Gorbachev is a pawn.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13He's being used by the Americans.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16The Politburo are terrified the Americans will wipe out
0:55:16 > 0:55:18our second strike mobile train platforms,
0:55:18 > 0:55:20leaving us vulnerable to invasion.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22How did you do it?
0:55:22 > 0:55:24The facts spoke for themselves.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28The Americans' Able Archer plan is for a pre-emptive nuclear strike.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30I embellished nothing.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33The Cold War must continue, Comrade Colonel.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35I know how your mind works.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38I am not swayed as easily as the rest of them,
0:55:38 > 0:55:40but I must congratulate you, Starik.
0:55:40 > 0:55:45- You would have made a brilliant chess grandmaster, if you ever played.- But I did.
0:55:47 > 0:55:48I did.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11Sasha.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15Starik has convinced Gorbachev that America is planning a first strike
0:56:15 > 0:56:19in an operation known as Able Archer.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22You and I both know the whole idea is pure nonsense.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26The Russians have a mobile second strike capacity
0:56:26 > 0:56:29aboard railroad flatcars - 12 trains with four ICBMs apiece,
0:56:29 > 0:56:31shuttling around 300 miles of track.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34The Americans know full well that a second strike
0:56:34 > 0:56:36launched from the Russian rail platforms
0:56:36 > 0:56:39would annihilate the US Eastern seaboard.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41What happens to the world then, Eugene?
0:56:41 > 0:56:43I don't know, Sasha.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47You told me long ago what Starik said to you.
0:56:47 > 0:56:51That we should promote the generosity of the human spirit.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53So tell me, Eugene,
0:56:53 > 0:56:57what does launching a pre-emptive strike to provoke nuclear holocaust
0:56:57 > 0:57:00have to do with promoting the generosity of the human spirit?
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I'm trying to make sense of this, ladies.
0:57:05 > 0:57:10The new computers can analyse so much data that we can run all the old leads that were never followed.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Because it was too time consuming.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14There just weren't enough man hours...
0:57:14 > 0:57:17woman hours - and the stuff's just laid around forever.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20So, we analyzed old transcripts of Radio Moscow from the 1950s.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23To look for patterns or repetitions -
0:57:23 > 0:57:25phrases appearing out of context...
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Because KGB agents abroad might be receiving coded messages
0:57:28 > 0:57:30- from these shows. - Yes, I get that part.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32We found something in the old transcripts.
0:57:32 > 0:57:34A pattern in a nightly quiz show.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37- You did?- I adored Alice in Wonderland as a kid,
0:57:37 > 0:57:41and in the 23 years this radio program has been airing -
0:57:41 > 0:57:43that's 1,200 50-minute broadcasts,
0:57:43 > 0:57:46the Lewis Carroll quotations have appeared 24 times.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50They instantly caught my eye because I could answer all the quotations.
0:57:50 > 0:57:55The Russians wouldn't be so sloppy as to use a radio program to broadcast messages.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57But we learned in counter-intelligence seminars
0:57:57 > 0:58:01that sometimes these codes are merely recognition symbols -
0:58:01 > 0:58:03special sentences to let the agent know
0:58:03 > 0:58:07that there'll be something appearing for him later on in the program.
0:58:07 > 0:58:12- And after every Lewis Carroll quotation, there was an announcement of a winning lottery number.- Huh!
0:58:12 > 0:58:17Angleton once told me that Soviet agents were given American 10 bills
0:58:17 > 0:58:20to use in some kind of a code system that we just couldn't break.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23We think they took the serial number off the bill
0:58:23 > 0:58:27and subtracted it from a lottery number that was broadcast on a radio.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30And presto - they'd wind up with a phone number of a contact.
0:58:30 > 0:58:33I still don't see how you'd get a phone number unless you had
0:58:33 > 0:58:37the particular serial number of the ten dollar... You found the bill?
0:58:37 > 0:58:40Not the actual bill, Director.
0:58:40 > 0:58:46My team hunted down all the serial numbers from every 10 bill printed between 1945 and 1951,
0:58:46 > 0:58:51the likely date that a Soviet agent would've used for a code bill.
0:58:51 > 0:58:52Six years of bills?
0:58:52 > 0:58:54Over 67 million dollars' worth.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57We narrowed it down by assuming that the Soviet agent
0:58:57 > 0:58:59would've lived in Washington,
0:58:59 > 0:59:02so we used area code 202 as a Rosetta stone.
0:59:02 > 0:59:05The computer told us the eight digit serial number on the bill
0:59:05 > 0:59:07would have to begin with a three and a zero.
0:59:07 > 0:59:11Cut down the number of bills to a manageable size.
0:59:11 > 0:59:13It was a matter of burning the midnight oil
0:59:13 > 0:59:16to narrow it down to a single 10 bill.
0:59:16 > 0:59:20We took the phone numbers we got from the Russian Radio program,
0:59:20 > 0:59:22matched them with phone records from DC.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24We came up with a Polish immigrant.
0:59:24 > 0:59:28She's been moving to a new apartment with a new phone number
0:59:28 > 0:59:30almost every year since 1955.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32She's 69 years old, never had a job
0:59:32 > 0:59:36and it's not clear where she gets money to pay the rent.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39We think she's the go-between.
0:59:39 > 0:59:42And I think she will lead us to Sasha's cutout.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44Maybe she's dead.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47Let's go check and see if she's dead.
0:59:47 > 0:59:48She's not dead.
0:59:48 > 0:59:51I heard the toilet flush a half hour ago.
0:59:51 > 0:59:55She's got her favourite soap operas... Oh, wait a minute.
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Keys.
0:59:57 > 0:59:59Look, I think she's going for the door.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02- She's saying goodbye to the cat. - This is it. Let's go.
1:00:39 > 1:00:40CAT MIAOWS
1:01:11 > 1:01:13She's at the checkout counter.
1:01:13 > 1:01:16I got it. Gimme the camera.
1:01:27 > 1:01:29- One more.- Yup.
1:01:35 > 1:01:37'She's half a block away.
1:01:37 > 1:01:38'Do you want me to slow her down?'
1:01:38 > 1:01:40Negative. We're out.
1:01:43 > 1:01:45I need a picture. You got it?
1:01:48 > 1:01:49Go.
1:01:55 > 1:01:57We turned her place upside down.
1:01:57 > 1:01:59Found these -
1:01:59 > 1:02:02coded phrases with their coded equivalents.
1:02:02 > 1:02:06And one time cipher pads to break the codes.
1:02:06 > 1:02:08We're waiting for Sasha's cutout to call.
1:02:09 > 1:02:13I'm also gonna need some repairs on a 1952 Bentley.
1:02:13 > 1:02:18'The windshield is cracked, and needs to be replaced.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21'And the 1957 Bel Air GS...'
1:02:21 > 1:02:24Got him! Pay phone, 8th street and 11th.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27..is no longer for sale, in case interested parties ask.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30I will pass message along, Gene.
1:02:38 > 1:02:42NSA is working on the codes from the phone call right now.
1:02:42 > 1:02:45I think it's best we wait and see if the cutout calls back.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47And if he doesn't? Pick her up, flip her?
1:02:47 > 1:02:49No, she could lead us to Sasha.
1:02:49 > 1:02:55A cutout who moves around for 23 years, who has his own cutout to shield his identity.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58This guy is too important, whoever he is.
1:03:00 > 1:03:03COUGHING
1:03:06 > 1:03:09How many people have you shown this to?
1:03:09 > 1:03:12No-one. Just you.
1:03:12 > 1:03:18I can't make heads of tails of it. It's a list of contact numbers that don't exist, as far as I can tell.
1:03:18 > 1:03:19And a series of dates.
1:03:19 > 1:03:23- Numbers are not contact numbers. - What are they?
1:03:25 > 1:03:26Bank accounts.
1:03:28 > 1:03:29SWIFT codes.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36What you are seeing, here, Jack...
1:03:38 > 1:03:41..are the threads of Kholstomer...
1:03:45 > 1:03:51It's not so much Kholstomer's 63 billion, it's the panic that would ensue from a sudden sell-off.
1:03:51 > 1:03:54If fund managers and central banks and foreign entities
1:03:54 > 1:03:57get the impression the dollar is in free fall,
1:03:57 > 1:04:00Kholstomer could have devastating consequences worldwide.
1:04:01 > 1:04:06I'll get the President to use his influence at the Federal Reserve to back the dollar on D-Day.
1:04:06 > 1:04:13Flood the media with inside stories about Federal Reserve's resolve to support the dollar.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Let the world's financial community know
1:04:15 > 1:04:20- the Reserve has an almost unlimited ability to back American currency. - Will that be enough?
1:04:20 > 1:04:25Angleton said it himself - prevent the panic, and we crush Kholstomer.
1:04:25 > 1:04:30What about Sasha? Won't he know, warn the Russians not to implement Kholstomer?
1:04:31 > 1:04:35Sasha won't know as long as this stays in this room.
1:04:35 > 1:04:37Why not let it leave the room?
1:04:37 > 1:04:39Leak it to the Company.
1:04:39 > 1:04:42Let Sasha know we're on to Kholstomer, let him postpone it.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44No, we can't let Sasha know.
1:04:44 > 1:04:48Kholstomer would always be out there to come back and haunt us.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50We need to deal with this now.
1:04:50 > 1:04:51PHONE RINGS
1:04:51 > 1:04:53Eugene, is that you?
1:04:53 > 1:04:59- Yes, it's me.- I didn't think I would hear from you until next month, my dear boy.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01- Do you need more repairs... - Starting trace.
1:05:01 > 1:05:06- You have to send a warning to the Old Man immediately.- I'm listening.
1:05:06 > 1:05:12The other party knows about his intent to sell the 220 SEB Coupe Mercedes with the white finish.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15They know about the price, the date of sale, all of it.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17'He has to postpone...'
1:05:17 > 1:05:22- He's on East 8th and Maplecrest. - 'I will let him know immediately.'
1:05:24 > 1:05:26'This time we got him.'
1:05:26 > 1:05:30- 'What's his name?- Renting an apartment under the name Lutwidge.'
1:05:30 > 1:05:32We're checking background.
1:05:32 > 1:05:34He's careful.
1:05:34 > 1:05:38Switched cabs twice and took two different buses coming home.
1:05:38 > 1:05:42- And the old lady?- We nabbed her before she could spill the beans.
1:05:43 > 1:05:47With Lutwidge's contact gone, won't he get suspicious?
1:05:47 > 1:05:52I'm really not too comfortable leaving this guy out there for so long, Jack.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55Let's wait just a little longer.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05Tell me about this cutout, Jack.
1:06:10 > 1:06:14He hasn't left his apartment in two days.
1:06:14 > 1:06:17Couldn't get a clear photo of him yet.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20Neighbours think he might be a writer.
1:06:20 > 1:06:21Tends to keep to himself.
1:06:21 > 1:06:25We... We looked in the Library of Congress
1:06:25 > 1:06:28to see if he had written anything, or published anything.
1:06:28 > 1:06:31Turns out the only thing that came back under his name
1:06:31 > 1:06:35was Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39What was this cutout's name?
1:06:39 > 1:06:42Goes by the name of Lutwidge. Gene Lutwidge.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45The writer of Alice in Wonderland.
1:06:45 > 1:06:46Lewis Carroll, we know.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51Lewis Carroll's pen name...
1:06:52 > 1:06:54..is Charles
1:06:54 > 1:06:59- Lutwidge Dodgson.- Dodgson?
1:06:59 > 1:07:03The delivery boy we never caught...
1:07:05 > 1:07:07..from Kahn's liquor shop.
1:07:07 > 1:07:10HE COUGHS
1:07:10 > 1:07:13The same delivery boy, Jack,
1:07:13 > 1:07:16who made deliveries...
1:07:16 > 1:07:18to other people.
1:07:20 > 1:07:21Leo was cleared.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26Not by me, he wasn't, Jack.
1:07:29 > 1:07:31You came to me for advice.
1:07:35 > 1:07:37Snatch him up.
1:07:37 > 1:07:40Snatch Dodgson up. Now.
1:07:50 > 1:07:52Pick him up.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59Mr Lutwidge, you are gonna be taken to a secure...
1:07:59 > 1:08:01Yevgeny?
1:08:01 > 1:08:04Well, Jack, you can't still be mad about that raccoon coat.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11Oh my God.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19I'm going to say a name to you, Leo.
1:08:20 > 1:08:22OK.
1:08:22 > 1:08:24Yevgeny Tsipin.
1:08:27 > 1:08:29Yevgeny!
1:08:40 > 1:08:42He...
1:08:42 > 1:08:46slept with my girlfriend at Yale. Did you know that?
1:08:46 > 1:08:49We just arrested him for espionage.
1:08:49 > 1:08:51Right here in DC.
1:08:51 > 1:08:54You're joking?
1:08:54 > 1:08:55Yevgeny's a spy?
1:08:55 > 1:08:57We think he's Sasha's cutout.
1:08:59 > 1:09:00Wow!
1:09:00 > 1:09:03ICE CLINKS IN GLASS
1:09:03 > 1:09:07- Haven't thought of that guy for... - A few days, Leo?
1:09:13 > 1:09:18- What do you mean? - Yevgeny was the delivery boy from Kahn's liquor store.
1:09:20 > 1:09:22Yevgeny delivered your liquor.
1:09:25 > 1:09:29To your house, Leo! If he was at this door, wouldn't you recognise him?
1:09:29 > 1:09:33- Is this just a coincidence?- Relax, Jack, I can explain.- Please do.
1:09:33 > 1:09:35Please do, Leo, because God help me,
1:09:35 > 1:09:38I got you out of Angleton's prison, and if I was wrong, if I was wrong,
1:09:38 > 1:09:42and you killed the Cubans, and you betrayed the Hungarians,
1:09:42 > 1:09:45and if you killed Lili, Leo, if you killed Lili...
1:09:45 > 1:09:47I don't know what the hell I will do to you.
1:09:47 > 1:09:51You were Yevgeny's friend, too. I'm not accusing you of being Sasha.
1:09:51 > 1:09:55You and Yevgeny shared a girlfriend. Stella Bledsoe.
1:09:55 > 1:09:58I ran a check on her, Leo. I never forgot her name.
1:09:58 > 1:10:02She was an American Communist who got caught a while down the road
1:10:02 > 1:10:04for trying to recruit an undercover FBI agent.
1:10:04 > 1:10:08She kept tabs on Yevgeny at Yale. And she recruited you, Leo, didn't she?
1:10:08 > 1:10:10Coach Waltz recruited us, Jack!
1:10:10 > 1:10:12Coach Waltz recruited us to the Company.
1:10:12 > 1:10:15Stella recruited you to the KGB.
1:10:15 > 1:10:16Tell me Stella didn't...
1:10:16 > 1:10:20GUNSHOT
1:10:30 > 1:10:32Sasha!
1:10:38 > 1:10:42I need an ambulance to 1544 Victory Lane.
1:10:42 > 1:10:43A man's been shot.
1:10:43 > 1:10:46JACK GASPS
1:11:01 > 1:11:04Jack, I never took a penny.
1:11:04 > 1:11:06I want you to know that.
1:11:06 > 1:11:08I did it because I believed in serving the country
1:11:08 > 1:11:12whose system of government offered the best hope for the future.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15- That system was socialism, Jack. - Adelle...
1:11:15 > 1:11:17- She knew, didn't she?- Yes, she did.
1:11:17 > 1:11:20But I'm not proud of it.
1:11:20 > 1:11:23I was assigned to her to get secrets out of her father, but guess what?
1:11:23 > 1:11:26I fell in love with her, Jack.
1:11:26 > 1:11:28I did, I swear.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30You're scum, Leo!
1:11:30 > 1:11:34The Company trained secret police in Argentina, Chile, Iran, Iraq,
1:11:34 > 1:11:38Dominican Republic, the list is as long as my arm. This is the business we're in.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44So, here we are, now.
1:11:44 > 1:11:47You think this is what I had in mind when I joined?
1:11:47 > 1:11:50You think this is what I signed up for? You're a hero to me.
1:11:52 > 1:11:53I'm sorry, buddy.
1:11:57 > 1:12:01You won't catch me. I have contingencies. You'd be wasting your time.
1:12:01 > 1:12:06I'm not gonna come out in Pravda and tell the world who I am, I'm just gonna slip away.
1:12:06 > 1:12:08I wanna protect my children.
1:12:08 > 1:12:11That's why I stayed, to protect my kids.
1:12:11 > 1:12:14You're a traitor, Leo! Leo!
1:12:16 > 1:12:17Go to hell!
1:12:28 > 1:12:31SIRENS APPROACH
1:12:36 > 1:12:38- BANGING ON DOOR - Paramedics, anyone in here?
1:12:38 > 1:12:40Anyone here?
1:13:00 > 1:13:02Harvey?
1:13:02 > 1:13:05SNORING
1:13:12 > 1:13:17The extraordinary, if restrained, action taken in the Persian Gulf early this morning
1:13:17 > 1:13:19was overshadowed through the day
1:13:19 > 1:13:22by scenes such as Wall Street has never witnessed.
1:13:22 > 1:13:28As the Dow Jones Industrials took off on a fear-fed free-fall
1:13:28 > 1:13:31to close down a record 508. 32 points,
1:13:31 > 1:13:36panicked traders worked through lunch hours in a desperate but losing attempt
1:13:36 > 1:13:39to keep up with tickers that rolled up an all-time high volume.
1:13:39 > 1:13:43CBS news looks at this devastating day for the market.
1:13:44 > 1:13:46So how bad was the fallout?
1:13:46 > 1:13:49It made a ripple, but America always bounces back.
1:13:49 > 1:13:52We traced the cash to the KGB connections, the foreign banks
1:13:52 > 1:13:57- and the agents of influence that Starik's been using all these years. - You shoulda been there, Jack.
1:13:57 > 1:13:59Tessa and Vanessa went ballistic.
1:13:59 > 1:14:03They tracked down 100 banks that had major influences on the stock markets.
1:14:03 > 1:14:06We knew that our target of five or six banks with connections
1:14:06 > 1:14:09to Kholstomer would be in there somewhere.
1:14:09 > 1:14:13In the end, we had to call in the only person in the CIA
1:14:13 > 1:14:15who could to recognise the invisible threads
1:14:15 > 1:14:18between the disparate names on the list.
1:14:18 > 1:14:19He narrowed down the list
1:14:19 > 1:14:22to five bankers in different parts of the world.
1:14:22 > 1:14:26All these guys had connections to the KGB at some point in their life,
1:14:26 > 1:14:30but it was only Angleton who could see past the forest for the trees.
1:14:32 > 1:14:35First target was Tokyo Bank International.
1:14:35 > 1:14:37Another bank on the London exchange.
1:14:37 > 1:14:42The next two Angleton identified as heads of prominent banks in Saudi Arabia and Johannesburg,
1:14:42 > 1:14:45both with powerful influences on their exchanges.
1:14:45 > 1:14:49The last guy, maybe the ringleader, that was Harvey's department.
1:14:49 > 1:14:53I recognised the name of the bastard who worked for the Soviets before the war.
1:14:53 > 1:14:58He was running Banco Ambrosiano until it collapsed in the '80s.
1:14:58 > 1:14:59Disappeared for a while
1:14:59 > 1:15:03only to turn up as Banco Di Sancto Spiritu,
1:15:03 > 1:15:07with a whole new disguise and even more power than before.
1:15:07 > 1:15:10He was running the Vatican Bank.
1:15:11 > 1:15:14We think that's where Starik was laundering his funds.
1:15:14 > 1:15:16Those Russian bastards were so naive
1:15:16 > 1:15:20they actually thought 63 billion would have an impact on the market.
1:15:20 > 1:15:24Plan might have worked in the '50s, but now!
1:15:24 > 1:15:27On average, the daily turnover is 1.9 trillion.
1:15:27 > 1:15:29KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:15:29 > 1:15:31Kholstomer is over.
1:15:31 > 1:15:33It's finished.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:15:38 > 1:15:41KNOCKING ON DOOR, SHOUTING
1:15:47 > 1:15:50Why would I want to help the CIA, Jack?
1:15:50 > 1:15:55Because you'll rot for the rest of your life in your cell, Yevgeny.
1:15:55 > 1:15:57No-one will know, no-one will care.
1:15:57 > 1:16:00We'll bury you in a pauper's grave.
1:16:00 > 1:16:03Not even a going away party for an old schoolmate?
1:16:10 > 1:16:12I want you to find him for me.
1:16:14 > 1:16:16Who?
1:16:16 > 1:16:19You know who.
1:16:19 > 1:16:22Now, what makes you think that I know where he is?
1:16:22 > 1:16:25We'll release you. Time served.
1:16:25 > 1:16:29Send you back to crumbling Mother Russia.
1:16:29 > 1:16:33The KGB will keep you on ice for a while, that's par for the course,
1:16:33 > 1:16:36but they'll let you go once they know you have no agenda.
1:16:36 > 1:16:39When that happens, get in touch with Leo,
1:16:39 > 1:16:43then contact us and let me know where he is. It's a simple assignment.
1:16:43 > 1:16:47No short-wave radios, no codes to decipher.
1:16:47 > 1:16:48YEVGENY LAUGHS
1:16:48 > 1:16:51You're actually serious about this?
1:16:52 > 1:16:55Why in the hell would I do that, Jack?
1:17:02 > 1:17:07The KGB is trying desperately to hold on to its control,
1:17:07 > 1:17:10even as Gorbachev brings us closer to detente.
1:17:10 > 1:17:15We have some very disgruntled KGB employees flooding into America,
1:17:15 > 1:17:18all looking for asylum,
1:17:18 > 1:17:21all bringing actual information.
1:17:21 > 1:17:24The great game is coming to a close, Yevgeny.
1:17:24 > 1:17:29Gorbachev released 3,000 prisoners of the state last October.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32Azalia Ivanova was in that group.
1:17:32 > 1:17:37After rattling around in prisons and insane asylums outside Moscow,
1:17:37 > 1:17:40she served 21 years in a Siberian gulag.
1:17:40 > 1:17:43And I have something else.
1:17:43 > 1:17:48This is her arrest and deportation order, straight from the Kremlin.
1:17:48 > 1:17:51She was not given a trial.
1:17:51 > 1:17:53It's signed by a P Zhilov.
1:17:54 > 1:17:58I would like you to meet an old friend of your mother's, Pavel Zhilov.
1:17:58 > 1:18:01Starik, to my friends.
1:18:08 > 1:18:10- TV:- 'After the fall of the Berlin Wall,
1:18:10 > 1:18:14'Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George Bush met in Malta.
1:18:14 > 1:18:18'The historical Summit was a turning point in East-West relations
1:18:18 > 1:18:21'and viewed as the official end of the Cold War.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23'The meetings have continued,
1:18:23 > 1:18:26'with vows of friendship and cooperation replacing antagonism.
1:18:26 > 1:18:31'The world pulled back from the fears of nuclear annihilation
1:18:31 > 1:18:33'that prevailed in the '60s and '70s.
1:18:33 > 1:18:39'However, rumblings of discontent have been heard from Soviet hardliners within the Politburo,
1:18:39 > 1:18:41'who feel Gorbachev is weakening Russia's stability
1:18:41 > 1:18:43'as a world superpower.'
1:18:59 > 1:19:00Hello, Sasha.
1:19:05 > 1:19:07Hi, Eugene.
1:19:10 > 1:19:13Or are you back to Yevgeny again?
1:19:13 > 1:19:15Come to keep me company?
1:19:15 > 1:19:19You're not doing a very good job of hiding out these days.
1:19:21 > 1:19:23What's the point?
1:19:27 > 1:19:29How did you find me, anyway?
1:19:33 > 1:19:35KGB.
1:19:39 > 1:19:41I told them I wanted to...
1:19:42 > 1:19:48..pay you a social visit... and they didn't seem to care.
1:19:50 > 1:19:53Nobody cares about me any more, Yevgeny.
1:19:54 > 1:19:56Someone from Gorbachev's inner circle
1:19:56 > 1:20:01occasionally asks me my opinion about something going on in America.
1:20:01 > 1:20:05Somebody's replaced us on the front lines now.
1:20:07 > 1:20:11Gorbachev's corroded the power of the KGB.
1:20:11 > 1:20:13The KGB are chomping at the bit to get rid of him,
1:20:13 > 1:20:15to get back to their old ways.
1:20:16 > 1:20:22Can't decide if he's trying to reform the communist system
1:20:22 > 1:20:23or do away with it entirely.
1:20:23 > 1:20:26MUSIC BLARES
1:20:29 > 1:20:32It's not the Russia I grew up in.
1:20:32 > 1:20:35It's not the ideal I fought for all these years.
1:20:35 > 1:20:38LEO COUGHS
1:20:41 > 1:20:43Jack wanted me to find you.
1:20:49 > 1:20:51I thought this was a social visit.
1:21:00 > 1:21:04Jack's obviously got something you want, or you wouldn't be here.
1:21:07 > 1:21:11It's nice of you to let me know, thank you for that.
1:21:11 > 1:21:14We owe each other that much, comrade.
1:22:24 > 1:22:27- PHONE RINGS TV:- The Soviet army is on the streets of Moscow
1:22:27 > 1:22:32and the worst fears of supporters of democracy have now been realised.
1:22:32 > 1:22:33Yeah?
1:22:33 > 1:22:35It's a coup d'Etat, Ebby.
1:22:35 > 1:22:40I just got word that Kryuchkov still has Gorbachev in a dacha, loaded up on Vodka and pills.
1:22:40 > 1:22:45The coup leaders are telling the world Gorbachev is medically unfit to lead the country.
1:22:45 > 1:22:47It's all crumbling around him.
1:22:47 > 1:22:49What's the word on the streets, Jack?
1:22:49 > 1:22:51This is an opportunity.
1:22:51 > 1:22:54- To do what?- 'To back Yeltsin.'
1:22:54 > 1:22:59And Gorbachev, whether or not he gets out of this thing, has lost his balls in the coup, Ebby.
1:22:59 > 1:23:02He's been castrated in the eyes of the people.
1:23:02 > 1:23:05This guy... Yeltsin could do it.
1:23:05 > 1:23:10He wants liberal reform. He's a radical, but he has the heart of the people in his hands.
1:23:10 > 1:23:17- He could bring democracy to Russia if we're there to support him. - If he can take power.- Yeah, if.
1:23:17 > 1:23:21Try to give me reports on the hour. Find out what you can.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23Yeah, will do.
1:23:25 > 1:23:26KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:23:26 > 1:23:29- TV:- Thousands of people, young and old alike,
1:23:29 > 1:23:33have poured into the streets in a desperate last minute attempt
1:23:33 > 1:23:39to demonstrate their support for democracy in a country that has seen so little of it over the years.
1:23:39 > 1:23:44The question on everyone's mind is the location and condition of President Gorbachev himself.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47Rumours of his arrest have swept from...
1:25:08 > 1:25:12You should be more careful, Comrade.
1:25:14 > 1:25:16Jack?
1:25:47 > 1:25:50Do you still dislike summer so very much?
1:25:55 > 1:26:00Yes, I still dislike summer.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12A face I never thought I would see.
1:26:16 > 1:26:20Do you have time to hear an apology from a friend?
1:26:34 > 1:26:36Russia has changed.
1:26:36 > 1:26:40I can feel it, all around me.
1:26:40 > 1:26:43Makes me want to...
1:26:43 > 1:26:45Makes me want to keep living.
1:26:45 > 1:26:48I'm glad for you, Azalia.
1:26:52 > 1:26:54For me, there's...
1:26:56 > 1:26:58..very little to live for.
1:27:00 > 1:27:02Except for you.
1:27:04 > 1:27:07I am trying to find a way to hate you...
1:27:10 > 1:27:13..hate you for leaving me the way you did.
1:27:19 > 1:27:23But I cannot. I cannot, Yevgeny.
1:27:26 > 1:27:28Even after all these years.
1:27:40 > 1:27:42Is it too late?
1:27:46 > 1:27:53It is... It is a source of pain to me to think of all the years we wasted.
1:27:53 > 1:27:57To think of the years I spent in the gulag...
1:27:59 > 1:28:02..wondering if you were still alive.
1:28:07 > 1:28:09Hoping.
1:28:11 > 1:28:13Can we not try?
1:28:17 > 1:28:20We can try.
1:28:21 > 1:28:22Yevgeny...
1:28:25 > 1:28:27We can try.
1:28:32 > 1:28:34So, d'you get it done, sport?
1:28:39 > 1:28:41He was already dead.
1:28:43 > 1:28:45I wanted to.
1:28:45 > 1:28:48I wanted to kill him.
1:28:48 > 1:28:52But... I just couldn't.
1:28:52 > 1:28:54You're a better man than me, sport.
1:28:57 > 1:29:00So, the great game goes on.
1:29:00 > 1:29:01With or without us.
1:29:04 > 1:29:06Without us, I guess.
1:29:06 > 1:29:10You think we made a difference, Harvey? Any difference at all?
1:29:10 > 1:29:14God, I hope so, sport.
1:29:14 > 1:29:17Nowadays people have short memories.
1:29:17 > 1:29:20They forget there was a time when the Goths were at the gate.
1:29:20 > 1:29:25You and me, kid, we put our warm bodies on the firing line and we turned 'em back.
1:29:27 > 1:29:29- You truly believe that? - You bet I believe it.
1:29:30 > 1:29:35Something like the Cold War has to have a moral, otherwise what was it all about?
1:29:37 > 1:29:40It was about the good guys beating the bad guys.
1:29:42 > 1:29:43We sure screwed up along the way.
1:29:43 > 1:29:47Yeah, but we screwed up a lot less than they did, which is why we won.
1:29:47 > 1:29:51The Soviet Union wasn't a country. It was a...
1:29:51 > 1:29:57It was a metaphor for an idea that looked good on the drawing board, but in practice, it was flawed.
1:29:57 > 1:29:59Let me tell you something -
1:29:59 > 1:30:02a metaphor is a lot harder to slay than a country,
1:30:02 > 1:30:04but we clobbered them in the end.
1:30:05 > 1:30:10- Yeah.- Don't look so glum about it!
1:30:10 > 1:30:13You got nothing to be ashamed of.
1:30:13 > 1:30:17You gotta remember what it was all about.
1:30:17 > 1:30:19It was always black and white, kid.
1:30:19 > 1:30:21Right versus wrong.
1:30:21 > 1:30:24There were good guys, and there were bad guys.
1:30:25 > 1:30:27Which side were we again, Harvey?
1:30:30 > 1:30:32We won, didn't we?
