Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 1, Episode 16 - The Reluctant Dragon - full transcript
Briggs, Barney and Rollin are on a mission to get a scientist out from behind the Iron Curtain. His wife, who is assisting the IMF, had defected a year earlier but he didn't follow her. As the mission unfolds, it's clear that the scientist never intended to defect and is still loyal to his country. Now, Briggs & Co. shift gears to convince the scientist to join the West.

Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.
THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS HELMUT CHERLOTOV,
THE IRON CURTAIN'S EXPERT
IN ROCKET CONTROL.
A YEAR AGO, HIS WIFE KAREN
DEFECTED TO THE WEST.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW,
BUT NEVER MADE IT.
SINCE THEN, CHERLOTOV
HAS BEEN UNDER SUSPICION
BY TAAL JANKOWSKI,
THE HEAD OF SECURITY.
ON HIS OWN, CHERLOTOV
HAS DEVELOPED THE KEY
TO A SIMPLE
YET EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
ANTIBALLISTIC
MISSILE SYSTEM.
A SYSTEM OF THAT SORT
IN THE WRONG HANDS
COULD COMPLETELY DESTROY
THE BALANCE OF POWER
IN THE WORLD.
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU
DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO GET CHERLOTOV OUT
BEFORE HIS GOVERNMENT DISCOVERS
WHAT HE HAS ACHIEVED.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DESTROY THIS RECORDING
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
GOOD LUCK, DAN.
YOU'RE CERTAIN
YOUR HUSBAND
IS STILL
AT THE UNIVERSITY?
I THINK SO. I CAN'T BE
CERTAIN OF ANYTHING,
EXCEPT THAT SINCE I ESCAPED,
THEY WON'T ALLOW HIM
TO DO SENSITIVE WORK.
WHERE DID YOU LIVE?
THEY FORCED HIM TO MOVE.
HE'S IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING
SO THAT THEY CAN
WATCH HIM CONSTANTLY.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS NEW GUIDANCE SYSTEM?
WHEN I LEFT HIM,
IT WAS JUST AN IDEA.
BY NOW, IT'S PROBABLY
COMPLETE.
IF THEY DON'T KNOW
HE'S WORKING ON IT,
HOW CAN THEY
GET IT FROM HIM?
TO HELMUT, HIS LIFE
IS HIS WORK.
IF THEY KEEP HIM THERE,
HE'LL GIVE THEM THE IDEA
SO THAT HE CAN
CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT
RATHER THAN WASTE
HIS LIFE.
I WANT YOU TO TRACE
YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE FOR ME.
I LEFT
FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
I MADE MY WAY TO HERE
AND ESCAPED
THROUGH BEROUN.
I WAITED AT THE BORDER
FOR A WEEK.
HELMUT NEVER GOT OUT.
JANKOWSKI PROBABLY
STOPPED HIM.
EVERY RECENT ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE HAS FAILED,
WHETHER IT'S CLIMBING
OVER A WALL
OR HIDING UNDER A TRUCK --
ANYTHING.
BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING
IN ALL THE UNLIKELY PLACES.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING
HIM OUT THROUGH CUSTOMS.
RIGHT HERE -- BUDEJOVICE.
BUT FIRST, WE GO IN.
I GO IN WITH THE NEXT
GROUP OF AFRICAN STUDENTS
AS A MAJOR
IN ENGINEERING.
DO YOU SPEAK
THE LANGUAGE?
IN A PINCH, BARNEY CAN
ORDER COLD CUTS IN SWAHILI.
WHEN BARNEY
GIVES THE WORD,
WE GET ROLLIN IN.
BARNEY, WE NEED A CAR.
I'LL HAVE IT.
AND A FAST ONE.
I REALLY BELIEVE
YOU CAN DO IT.
THANK YOU.
WE NEED
NEW PASSPORTS, PHOTOS.
ROLLIN, YOU FIRST.
AGAINST THAT WALL.
OKAY, DAN.
EXCUSE ME.
OH,
THIS IS MY GOOD SIDE.
DON'T WORRY.
I'LL TOUCH IT UP.
[ CHUCKLES ]
COMMISSIONER JANKOWSKI?
COMRADES DUCHINOFF,
BERKOV,
LUKOWSKI,
AND HERR BROWDER.
WELCOME, COMRADES.
YOU ARE HERE TO OBSERVE
OUR SECURITY MEASURES
IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE
THOSE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRIES.
[ In German accent ]
AND TO HELP YOU
WHENEVER WE CAN.
WE ARE HERE TO EXCHANGE
IDEAS, CORRECT?
I'M CERTAIN, OF COURSE,
THERE IS A GREAT DEAL
TO BE LEARNED BY US ALL
FROM THE DEPUTY
COMMISSIONER OF POLICE
FOR EAST GERMANY.
SHALL WE START?
I DON'T BELIEVE
IN EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
OF THIS KIND
BEING CONFINED
TO A SERIES
OF STUFFY SEMINARS.
WE BELIEVE OUR
SECURITY SYSTEMS WORK.
I WANT YOU
TO SEE THEM WORK.
IN EAST BERLIN RECENTLY,
WE'VE HAD A NUMBER
OF STUDENT RIOTS.
OH, JUST A FEW
MALCONTENTS, OF COURSE,
BUT TROUBLESOME
NONETHELESS.
I WAS WONDERING
WHAT YOU WOULD DO
WITH THIS SORT
OF TROUBLE.
WE DON'T HAVE
THAT DIFFICULTY, COMRADE.
IF A STUDENT
IS DIFFICULT,
HE IS TRANSFERRED
TO ANOTHER COURSE OF STUDY
IN A DIFFERENT
KIND OF SCHOOL.
UNFORTUNATELY,
ALL ARE HOUSED TOGETHER --
BIOLOGICAL,
RESEARCH,
NUTRITION,
SURGICAL.
Barney: I FIND THE INSTRUCTOR
TO BE AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR.
EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD
ABOUT HIM IS TRUE.
YESTERDAY, FOR EXAMPLE,
WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING
THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM...
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HERR BROWDER!
JUST ONE MOMENT.
MAY I?
COMRADE, THIS IS
AGAINST REGULATIONS!
WILL YOU STOP SHOUTING?
AH, VERY --
VERY INTERESTING.
IT IS SYNTHETIC FLOUR.
WHAT IS THIS?
HE REFUSES TO LISTEN.
COMRADE, I'M NOT
A STUDENT HERE.
I DON'T LIKE
BEING HERDED ABOUT.
YOU WERE INSTRUCTED
TO REMAIN WITH THE GROUP.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED
IN THE WORLD OF FOODS.
OH, I'M NOT A GOURMET.
IT IS MORE OR LESS
A HOBBY.
THEN IF YOU HAVE INDULGED
YOURSELF SUFFICIENTLY --
COMRADE, I OBJECT STRENUOUSLY
TO THIS TREATMENT!
YES, COMRADE,
MOST EMPHATICALLY!
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
JANKOWSKI!
YOU HAVE
BROUGHT ME NEWS.
YOUR REQUEST FOR TRANSFER
IS STILL BEING PROCESSED.
AND IT STILL WILL BE
A YEAR FROM NOW!
WHY AM I HERE AT ALL?
WHY?
[ GLASSES CLATTER ]
PICK THEM UP.
HMM.
[ CHUCKLES ]
EXCUSE ME.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
DON'T THANK ME.
IT'S A PRIVILEGE
TO MEET A MAN
OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW ME?
YOU KNOW I AM A SCIENTIST,
NOT A COOK.
YOUR STORY
HAS INTERESTED ME.
WE MUST TALK
SOME MORE, DOCTOR.
BROWDER!
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
I THOUGHT IT WAS
QUITE OBVIOUS.
YOU WERE IN
AN EMBARRASSING POSITION,
AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO LOSE FACE.
YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO TALK TO HIM.
A NEW FACE,
A NEW APPROACH.
WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY STILL
BE IN THAT MAN'S MIND?
YOUR METHODS ARE DIFFERENT
FROM MINE, COMRADE.
YES. DOES THAT
MAKE THEM WRONG?
NOT NECESSARILY.
YOU ARE AWARE THE MAN
IS A SECURITY RISK.
OF COURSE.
THANK YOU.
PROST.
A VERY PRETTY
GIRL, HUH?
YES, LOVELY.
SHE LIKES YOU.
NO, NO, SHE SEES
THE EVIL IN ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND WOMEN ARE
ATTRACTED TO EVIL, HUH?
OF COURSE. IT RELIEVES
THE BOREDOM.
I SEE.
I WONDER WHY
SHE'S WORKING HERE.
WELL, WHY NOT?
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE HER
AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS
AND GIVE HER
WHAT SHE DESERVES.
HEY, MAYBE SHE'S GOT
A COUPLE OF GIRLFRIENDS, HUH?
YEAH! ASK HER ABOUT IT!
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.
I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.
WE ARE GUESTS IN THIS COUNTRY.
IT WOULD NOT BE PROPER.
I THINK HE LIKES TO
KEEP HER FOR HIMSELF.
NO, ON THE CONTRARY,
I'M TIRED.
IT'S QUITE LATE.
SO, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
COMRADES.
GOOD NIGHT, BROWDER.
GOOD NIGHT.
[ THUMPS ]
I DIDN'T KNOW. I --
YOU WERE
PROBABLY FOLLOWED.
I AM ALWAYS FOLLOWED,
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT ROOM I'M IN.
I TOOK A CHANCE
TO COME HERE,
BUT WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE?
I'M AT THE END
OF MY ROPE.
I HAD HOPED
MY MEANING GOT THROUGH TO YOU
IN THE LABORATORY.
IT WAS QUITE DIRECT.
COMRADE, I DON'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
I AM NOT EVEN SURE
THAT I CAN TRUST YOU.
YOU KNOW ABOUT MY WIFE?
NATURALLY.
THEY ALMOST FIRED JANKOWSKI
OVER HER DEFECTION.
IT WILL BE NO SIMPLE MATTER
TO HELP ME.
WE'D BETTER GET STARTED.
YOUR EFFORTS WILL BE
RICHLY REWARDED
IF WE SUCCEED.
WE'LL TAKE YOU
TO VIENNA.
VIENNA?
ALL RIGHT,
YOU PICK THE PLACE.
YOU JOKE. YOU THINK
I'M JUST MOUTHING WORDS.
DOCTOR, DON'T SELL ME.
I AM HERE.
YES.
HERE.
WHILE JANKOWSKI
BELIEVES I AM COOKING,
I HAVE BEEN THINKING.
A SIMPLIFIED ANTIMISSILE
GUIDANCE SYSTEM,
AND IT WILL WORK.
JANKOWSKI CAN KEEP ME
FROM MY LABORATORY,
BUT HE CANNOT STOP
MY MIND FROM WORKING.
JANKOWSKI HAS THIS
RIDICULOUS IDEA
THAT I INTEND
TO FOLLOW MY WIFE,
BUT IT IS NOT TRUE.
I SWEAR TO YOU,
IT IS NOT TRUE.
KAREN -- KAREN IS --
IS TOO SENSITIVE.
I -- I TRIED
TO STOP HER,
BUT SHE LEFT -- RAN.
AND JANKOWSKI'S OUT
TO MAKE ME PAY.
I AM CONVINCED
THE ONLY ANSWER
IS TO GO TO SOMEONE
HIGHER UP.
BUT IF I SHOW THESE PLANS
TO THE WRONG PERSON,
I AM ARRESTED.
YOU HAVE INFLUENCE.
PLEASE, I BEG YOU,
HELP ME -- MAKE THEM
UNDERSTAND
THAT I AM
A LOYAL CITIZEN.
I AM LOYAL
TO MY COUNTRY.
I ONLY WANT TO WORK.
YES. YES, OF COURSE.
YOU WILL HELP?
I'LL DO SOMETHING.
[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]
YOU HAVE NEWS?
COME IN.
SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
THERE IS TROUBLE.
I KNOW IT.
YOUR HUSBAND DOESN'T WANT
TO LEAVE, THAT'S ALL.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM?
HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO FOLLOW.
YOU KNEW HE WOULDN'T.
I HOPED!
OHH.
HE KEPT DENYING
WHAT WE BOTH SAW,
WHAT WE BOTH KNEW
TO BE THE TRUTH.
"BE PATIENT, KAREN."
"THEY ARE MAKING
MISTAKES, THAT'S ALL."
"GIVE THEM TIME, KAREN."
AND ALL THE TIME,
I SAW THEIR CRIMES
EATING AWAY AT HIS SOUL.
AND SO YOU RAN?
I THOUGHT OUR LOVE
WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO PULL HIM OUT OF THERE
BEFORE HE WAS DESTROYED.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
BEFORE?
WOULD YOU HAVE STILL GONE?
YOUR HUSBAND'S RESEARCH
IS VITAL TO THIS NATION.
OF COURSE WE'D HAVE GONE,
WITH MUCH BETTER CHANCE
FOR SUCCESS.
NOW WE HAVE TO PLAY
OUR TRUMP CARD --
THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE.
YOU.
THEY WOULD KILL ME.
YOU KNOW THAT.
IF YOU FELL INTO
THEIR HANDS, YES.
BUT YOU WON'T.
YOU WILL
DEMAND NOTHING!
Cherlotov: A CITIZEN
HAS RIGHTS!
YOUR WIFE TOOK YOURS
WITH HER, COMRADE.
MY WIFE'S ACTIONS
WERE HER OWN.
YOU ARE TO STOP EMBARRASSING
THE GOVERNMENT
WITH YOUR CONSTANT PLEAS
FOR UNDERSTANDING
FROM EVERY AVAILABLE EAR.
I AM LOYAL.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, EXCUSE ME.
YOU INTELLECTUALS --
LOYAL, LOYAL, LOYAL.
TO WHOM?
TO YOURSELVES?
TO YOUR OWN LITTLE,
SMALL WORLD?
YOU SELL YOUR SOULS,
AND THEN YOU RATIONALIZE
THAT IT IS FOR THE GOOD
OF SOMETHING GREATER,
AS YET UNDEFINED.
COME NOW, DOCTOR,
ADMIT IT --
TOO MUCH LEARNING
UNDERMINES A MAN'S LOYALTY.
THAT IS PERHAPS
THE MOST STUPID,
THE MOST ILLOGICAL STATEMENT
EVER MADE.
IDIOTS AND MADMEN
ARE RUNNING THIS WORLD.
CONSIDER YOURSELF
WARNED
FOR THE LAST TIME,
DOCTOR.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
COMRADE JANKOWSKI
IS A VERY DECENT FELLOW.
TRY TO GET ALONG.
COME ON.
[ SPITS ]
HOW DARE YOU,
YOU BLIND FOOL?
YOU MAKE ME SICK!
OPEN UP YOUR EYES!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
LOOK AROUND YOU!
PEOPLE LIKE JANKOWSKI --
SEE WHAT THEY DO EVERY DAY!
OPEN UP
YOUR BLIND EYES!
THEIR WHOLE ROUTINE
WAS AN ACT,
A WELL-REHEARSED PLEA
FOR UNDERSTANDING.
THEN, AFTER YOU
ARE DISARMED,
HE WILL USE YOU
FOR HIS REAL PURPOSE --
ESCAPE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
AH, YOU WERE WISE
TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.
AND YOU HANDLED HIM
VERY WELL.
NAPOLEON, HMM?
WE BROKE UP A GANG
OF BLACK MARKETEERS
THE OTHER NIGHT.
THE EVIDENCE
IS CONCLUSIVE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU OFFICE HAS GIVEN ME
MUCH TO READ,
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
STAY A WHILE.
THAT LUPESH
AND HIS MANUALS.
HE WOULDN'T KNOW
A SECOND-RATE SPY
IF THE MAN HANDED HIM
ENGRAVED CREDENTIALS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
BESIDES, HOW OFTEN
DO I GET A CHANCE
TO CHAT WITH SOMEONE
BUT A BUREAUCRATIC FOOL
IN THIS JUNGLE WE CALL
AN ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY?
CAREFUL -- I COULD
HAVE YOU ARRESTED
FOR A REMARK LIKE THAT.
LUPESH WOULD ALREADY
BE AT THE POLITBURO,
SMACKING HIS LIPS
AT THE PROSPECT OF MY JOB.
THIS DR., UH, CHERLOTOV,
HE DISTURBS YOU, NO?
LIFE...COULD BE
MORE PLEASANT.
I TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
THIS FELLOW
PLACED IN A CELL
FOR A LITTLE WHILE,
WITH OTHER
POLITICAL PRISONERS,
PERHAPS SOME
OF HIS OLD FRIENDS?
YES, LET HIM OBSERVE
THE MENTAL DECAY
THAT SETS IN
WHEN AN ACTIVE MIND
IS JAILED FOR A WHILE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU HAVE TO BE
THE COLDEST FISH IN THE SEA.
TO A LESSON.
HMM.
AND NOW,
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
ONE MOMENT.
YOUR PASSPORT.
CLEAR THIS.
YES, SIR.
WHAT IS IT?
A NEW IDEA OF MINE.
ALL VISITORS MUST APPLY
FOR THE VISA LETTER.
NEW INSTRUCTIONS
ON EXPORTING GIFTS.
ITS REAL PURPOSE
IS TO GIVE US
AN ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CHECK,
WITHOUT HAVING
TO ROUND PEOPLE UP
AS THOUGH WE WERE
A POLICE STATE.
BRILLIANT.
YOU CAME HERE
TO LEARN, NO?
THE SOONER WE START
OUR LITTLE GAME, THE BETTER.
BUT THIS IS A MISTAKE.
I DON'T BELONG HERE!
BUT THIS IS A MISTAKE!
I DON'T BELONG HERE!
IT IS A MISTAKE!
I AM LOYAL!
HELMUT CHERLOTOV?
PROFESSOR LAUCHEK.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
IN WARSAW.
WORKING ON A SECRET
PROJECT, NO DOUBT.
BUT EVERYONE SAID --
YEAH, EVERYONE SAID WHAT
THEY WERE TOLD TO SAY.
WHAT'S HIS CRIME?
OH, UH, UH, DR. YABLONSKI,
INTRODUCTIONS.
HELMUT WAS ONE
OF MY PUPILS
AT THE UNIVERSITY.
YABLONSKI'S
PROFESSOR EMERITUS
FOR INTERNAL MEDICINE
AT PUSEK MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Yablonski: WHO HAS CONTROL
OF WHAT THESE DAYS?
Lauchek: HE HAS
A HEARING AID,
BUT THEY WON'T
GIVE HIM BATTERIES.
HEARD A RUMOR ABOUT
POLITICAL AMNESTY.
BUT IT'S NO POINT NOW.
STILL,
IT WOULD BE NICE
TO SPEND A FEW DAYS.
DEAR GOD, WHAT ARE THEY
DOING TO YOU?
THEY ARE
TEACHING US, HELMUT.
THEY ARE JUST --
JUST TEACHING US.
DR. CHERLOTOV.
UH-HUH.
I'LL BE LEAVING SOON.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO
WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
IS THERE ANY MORE
I CAN DO FOR YOU, DOCTOR?
PERHAPS THEY WILL
LET YOU OUT SOON.
MAYBE THEY WILL EVEN
PERMIT YOU TO ATTACK
A VERY IMPORTANT PROBLEM.
WHO ARE YOU?
YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM
ABOUT THE PLANS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
GOODBYE, DR. CHERLOTOV.
TELL ME, BROWDER...
DO YOU KNOW A VILLAGE
IN YOUR COUNTRY
CALLED LUDWIGSLUST?
LUDWIGSLUST?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS SENT THERE
RIGHT AFTER THE WAR.
THE PEOPLE
WERE VERY KIND.
BUT THE PAST
IS OUT OF REACH FOR US NOW.
IF NOT OUT OF MIND.
MM-HMM.
THE MIND, DEAR COMRADE,
IS THE LAST
PRIVATE REFUGE WE HAVE.
TELL ME,
WHAT GOES ON IN THE MIND
OF HELMUT CHERLOTOV?
YOU THINK
WE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING
BY PUTTING HIM IN PRISON?
NO. IT MADE
NO IMPRESSION.
I WAS WRONG.
I ADMIT IT.
IT WAS A CHESS MOVE,
NOTHING MORE.
I WOULD LET HIM GO.
HMM.
I LIKE A MAN WHO CAN
ADMIT HE'S BEEN WRONG.
I'LL PUT
THE ORDER THROUGH.
HE'LL PROBABLY BE OUT
IN THE MORNING.
HMM.
CHECK.
WITH THIS NEW REGULATION
OF JANKOWSKI'S,
WE'LL NEED
ONE OF THESE NEW FORMS
FOR EVERY PASSPORT
BY MORNING.
ANY PROBLEMS
IN DUPLICATING IT, BARNEY?
NO, IT'S
PRETTY SIMPLE.
HOW ABOUT THE SEAL?
WELL...
HMM.
WHAT IS IT?
TROUBLE.
TROUBLE?
YEAH.
THE SEAL'S EASY.
THIS PAPER'S A TRAP.
TRAP? HOW?
THEY KNOW THAT ANYBODY
WITH A FORGED PASSPORT
WOULD RATHER MAKE UP
ONE OF THESE FORMS
THAN APPLY FOR IT.
SO THEY'VE IMPREGNATED
THIS PAPER WITH METAL FIBERS.
5 WILL GET YOU 10
THAT THE BORDER GUARDS
JUST GOT THEIR METERS.
CAN YOU DO ANYTHING?
NO, NOT WITHOUT
THIS KIND OF PAPER.
THEN WE'LL JUST
HAVE TO GET SOME FORMS.
MY, UH, MY COMRADES ARE
ANXIOUS FOR A BIG TIME.
WHY DON'T I ARRANGE
SOMETHING, HUH?
WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?
THREE HEALTHY
GROWN-UP MEN
AWAY FROM HOME FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS,
AND WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
STANDING,
DRINKING BEER.
SUGGEST SOMETHING.
SUGGEST SOMETHING?
A PARTY.
WE DON'T KNOW
ANYBODY.
MY DEAR FRIEND,
BERRIES DO NOT
DROP OFF THE VINE,
THEY ARE PLUCKED.
JUST A MOMENT,
MY DEAR.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THAT, UH,
YOUR TOURIST CATALOGS
ARE LIES,
FABRICATIONS,
AND BLATANT DECEPTIONS?
COMRADE,
OUR CITY IS THE JEWEL
OF THE CONTINENT.
MY FRIENDS AND I
WILL DISMISS THAT
AS OVERZEALOUS
TOURIST PROPAGANDA.
OUR HOTEL CAN PROVIDE
EXCELLENT GUIDES.
GUIDES?
A GUIDE YOU OFFER?
SHE OFFERS US A GUIDE.
YOU MEAN,
ONE OF THOSE FELLOWS
WITH A BLACK LEATHER COAT
AND A PROGRAM UNDER HIS ARM?
NO, NO, NO.
THAT WILL NEVER DO.
BUT YOU WILL
LIKE OUR CITY.
YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY,
AND YET YOU SHRUG IT OFF.
THEY EVEN EXAGGERATE
ABOUT THE GRACIOUSNESS
OF THEIR WOMEN.
WHAT CAN I DO?
AH, THERE, YOU SEE? YOU DO HAVE
A HEART AFTER ALL.
I WILL ARRANGE A PARTY.
A PARTY?
YES, TONIGHT. YOU ARE INVITED,
AND YOU WILL BRING SOME FRIENDS.
I AM HERR BROWDER.
I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER LOTS OF
HORS D'OEUVRES, LOTS OF VODKA
FOR A PARTY
IN MY ROOM TONIGHT.
BUT, SIR...
TELL ME YOUR NAME.
SOPHIA.
SOPHIA.
A LOVELY NAME.
AND YOU'RE
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
I LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING YOU TONIGHT.
GENTLEMEN, SHALL WE?
EXCUSE ME.
OOH, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
ARE YOU A--
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
BUT IT WAS MY FAULT.
MISS? MISS,
JUST ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
THAT'S A VERY FINE
PIECE OF WORK.
IS IT FOR SALE?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
PLEASE? I WOULD
LIKE TO PURCHASE IT.
WELL, I'LL HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT IT.
I'M IN ROOM 305
IF YOU SHOULD DECIDE.
YOU REALLY THINK IT'S GOOD?
WHY ELSE WOULD I SAY SO?
COMRADE COMMISSIONER?
SEE TO IT, LUPESH.
WELL?
A ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM THE EAST BERLIN POLICE
REQUESTING DATA
ON PETTY CRIMINAL.
MUST I DO EVERYTHING
IN THIS OFFICE?
THIS LETTER IS SIGNED
HERR BROWDER.
WE KNOW HERR BROWDER.
IT IS DATED TWO DAYS AGO.
SO?
HERR BROWDER HAS BEEN HERE
A WEEK AT LEAST.
NO, NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WHAT DID THE FELLOW WANT?
SIR?

ROUTINE.
ALL RIGHT, LUPESH.
CALL IT A DAY.
SURPRISE!
Men: OH, HELLO.
SOPHIA YOU KNOW.

Woman: OH, THANK YOU.
Man: LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
THERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
VODKA
FOR EVERYBODY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
A WONDERFUL PARTY.
I DID NOT EXPECT THERE
TO BE A PARTY THIS EVENING.
OH, WELL, YOU KNOW...
DO YOU HAVE A CIGARETTE?
NO, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
I DO NOT HAVE ONE.
WHERE DO YOU WORK?
I'M WORKING
DOWNSTAIRS.
DID YOU ASK
FOR A CIGARETTE?
YES, PLEASE.
A CIGARETTE.
[ GASPS ]
OH, HE'S A MAGICIAN.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
YES.
HOW DOES HE DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S VERY GOOD, BROWDER.
PLEASE,
PLEASE, DO ANOTHER ONE.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT IT'S GONE.
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
DO IT --
DO IT AGAIN, PLEASE.
OH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
NOW, WATCH CLOSELY.
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH.
NOW, WATCH.
THERE.
OH, WONDERFUL!
OH, DO IT AGAIN!
AGAIN?
JA.
THEN SHOW US
HOW YOU DO IT.
OH, NO, NO, NO, YOU'VE GOT TO
FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
OH, I'LL GET IT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT,
ONE MORE TIME. WATCH.
OOP.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
THERE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BRAVO. BRAVO.
YOU LIKE MAGIC, HUH?
YEAH.
BROWDER, THE PORTER
BROUGHT THIS.
HE SAYS THE LADY'S
IN THE BAR.
OUR FRIEND BROWDER HAS
A REAL WAY ABOUT HIM.
DON'T BE SILLY.
SHE PROBABLY JUST WANTS
TO TELL ME THE PRICE.
I'LL GO DOWN
AND TALK TO HER,
AND, UH, I'LL SEND UP
SOME MORE VODKA.
YEAH, MORE VODKA.
Man: MORE VODKA!
PLEASE DON'T GO.
I MUST. I CAN'T BE RUDE.
I ASKED TO BUY IT.
I WILL RETURN VERY SOON.
I PROMISE, ALL RIGHT?
KEEP THE PARTY GOING.
KEEP THE PARTY GOING!
DON'T WORRY. DON'T WORRY.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
LET'S DANCE.
SHE'S NOT IN THE BAR.
I WANTED YOU.
DR. CHERLOTOV IS BEING
RELEASED IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.
WE CAN'T WAIT
TILL MORNING NOW.
THE BORDER CLOSES
AT MIDNIGHT.
CAN YOU PICK HIM UP
AT THE PRISON?
YES. YOU TAKE KAREN
TO HIS LABORATORY.
MAKE SURE SHE WAITS
FOR HIM.
DID YOU GET THE PASSPORTS?
NO, NOT YET, BUT I WILL.
HE MUST BE MISERABLE
IN THIS PLACE.
YES, I'M QUITE SURE.
NOW, LISTEN. YOU'LL BE
PERFECTLY SAFE HERE.
DON'T DO ANYTHING
UNTIL I COME BACK.
I UNDERSTAND.
AND DON'T WORRY.
[ Foreign accent ]
MY CAR'S RIGHT OVER HERE.
MAY I DROP YOU?
LEAVE ME ALONE.
MY HANDS WERE TIED,
ABSOLUTELY TIED.
JANKOWSKI HAD YOU FOLLOWED.
HE KNEW WE WERE MEETING.
I HAD TO PLAY THE GAME
TO PROTECT MYSELF.
I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I CAN STILL SMELL
THEIR DIRTY BODIES --
MEN I RESPECTED.
PROFESSOR LAUCHEK SWEEPING
GARBAGE BACK AND FORTH,
UNTIL HIS DIGNITY
WILL BE GONE.
HELMUT, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
PLEASE, GET IN.
WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.
Man: HERR BROWDER.
DR. CHERLOTOV.
DR. CHERLOTOV, YOU MAY GO.
I WISH TO SPEAK
WITH HERR BROWDER.
PARTY OVER?
YES, YES. YOU SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THERE.
[ LAUGHS ]
WE RECEIVED THIS
FROM YOUR HOME OFFICE...
SIGNED BY YOU.
SIGNED BY YOU.
HOW ROUTINE OF ME.
DATED TWO DAYS AGO.
AND YOU HERE...
A WEEK?
[ GUN COCKS ]
YOU ARE VERY THOROUGH.
GET IN.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ TIRES SQUEALING ]
[ BULLET RICOCHETS ]
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ BULLET RICOCHETS ]
DON'T SAY ANYTHING,
DR. CHERLOTOV.
JUST COME WITH ME.
MAKE THIS DISAPPEAR.
[ LAUGHS ]
NOT THAT WAY.
MAKE IT REALLY DISAPPEAR.
I ACCEPT
YOUR CHALLENGE.
WATCH, EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY WATCH.
NOW, I NEED
A HANDKERCHIEF.
MAY I BORROW
YOUR HANDKERCHIEF?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WATCH NOW.
ARE YOU WATCHING?
YES.
WATCH NOW. WATCH.
AHA!
WHERE DID IT GO?
HOW DO YOU
DO THAT?
WHERE?
I DON'T SEE WHAT
HAPPENED TO IT.
I WONDER
IF YOU HAVE IT.
NO, I DON'T HAVE IT.
NO GLASS. MY GOODNESS.
WHERE IS THE GLASS,
I WONDER?
WATCH.
HA HA HA HA.
HOW DID YOU
GET THE GLASS?
TELL ME, DUCHINOFF,
DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?
OH. HEY, MY WATCH.
COME ON, COME ON.
I DON'T HAVE YOUR WATCH.
WHO HAS HIS WATCH?
SOMEBODY HERE --
I'LL BET YOU HAVE HIS WATCH.
OH, NO, NO.
NOT ME.
HE HAS IT.
HE HAS IT.
Woman: AHA.
I THINK WE
FIND IT THERE.
NO WATCH.
I DON'T SEE A --
OH!
HOW DID YOU
LIKE THAT?
THAT'S FANTASTIC!
ISN'T THAT
FANTASTIC?
HEY, MY BELT
IS GONE.
HIS BELT IS GONE!
WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S NOT A NICE
THING TO DO.
BERKOV HAS IT.
OF COURSE HE DOES.
I'LL BET YOU HAVE HIS BELT.
YOU STOLE HIS BELT.
NO, NOT ME.
HE WAS WITH ME.
NO.
I WAS DANCING.
OH, OH, OH.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND -- A BELT.
AHA.
HE TOOK MY BELT.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU'RE NOT VERY NICE.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT
IF I STOLE YOUR TIE?
Man: HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?
AND YOUR SHIRT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S ALL THE MAGIC
FOR NOW.
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.
[ GLASS THUMPS ]
AM I TO BE REWARDED?
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHY DID YOU
BRING ME HERE?
I TOLD YOU,
I'M A FRIEND.
I DON'T KNOW YOU.
HOW DO I KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
KAREN...
HERE?
KAREN, HOW? HOW?
OH, DARLING.
OH, MY WIFE.
KAREN, YOU ENDANGERED
YOURSELF BY COMING BACK.
YOU KNOW THAT.
SOPHIA, SHOULD I CALL
THE POLICE?
[ SIGHS ]
I DON'T WANT TO, BUT...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOPHIA, YOU DIDN'T
JUST STEAL MONEY.
YOU STOLE VISAS
AND IDENTIFICATION PAPERS.
THAT'S A TERRIBLE CRIME
IN THIS COUNTRY.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
SOPHIA, I LIKE YOU.
I DON'T WANT
TO SEE YOU IN TROUBLE.
PLEASE...
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME.
THINGS ARE SO BAD
AT HOME.
GET ME THE WALLETS.
I'LL PUT THEM BACK.
THEY WILL NEVER SUSPECT
THEY WERE MISSING.
I JUST STOPPED BY FOR A MOMENT
TO SEE HERR BROWDER.
COMRADE JANKOWSKI.
GOOD EVENING.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE
SOME CONVERSATION OVER A DRINK,
BUT, UH, I SEE THAT YOU
HAVE VERY PLEASANT COMPANY.
I'M SURE THESE LOVELY
PEOPLE WILL EXCUSE ME.
WE COULD GO DOWN TO THE BAR
AND, UH, HAVE A DRINK.
KEEP THE PARTY GOING
TILL I RETURN, ALL RIGHT?
OH, YES.
WHERE IS HE?
WE'VE GOT TO BE
AT THE BORDER BY MORNING.
HE KNOWS THAT.
HE'LL BE HERE.
I'M SORRY.
KAREN...
HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN
YOU WENT ACROSS THE BORDER?
FREE.
I CANNOT SO EASILY
DESERT MY HOMELAND.
IT WAS NOT EASY FOR ME.
I THOUGHT
IT WAS ALL SETTLED.
IF EVERYONE RUNS, WHO WILL
MAKE THINGS BETTER?
NOT YOUR OLD PROFESSORS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YOU KNOW HOW TO LIVE,
HERR BROWDER.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
YES, I ENJOY LIFE.
MM-HMM. THAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN
LIKE YOU AND ME, AND SAY,
A MAN LIKE LUPESH.
WE ENJOY LIFE.
COMMISSIONER,
TELEPHONE, PLEASE.
OH.
EXCUSE ME.
SOMETHING HAS COME UP
WITH CHERLOTOV.
MAYBE YOU WOULD
LIKE TO COME WITH ME,
IN AS MUCH AS YOU'VE
TAKEN AN INTEREST IN HIM?
FINE. MY CAR'S OUTSIDE.
I'LL DRIVE YOU.
GOOD.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
ROLLIN'S COMING.
[ THUDS ]
GIVE IT TO ME.
OUT, DOCTOR. NOW.
MADAME CHERLOTOV.
HOW NICE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MY MAN SAID
THERE WERE OTHERS HERE,
BUT SUCH A SURPRISE.
OVER THERE.
WITH THEM.
THIS ONE WORKED VERY HARD
TO GET YOU
TO OPEN YOUR EYES.
I CONGRATULATE YOU.
WELL, I SAID
YOU WERE A SHREWD ONE
RIGHT OFF, DIDN'T I?
[ CHUCKLES ]
POOR LUPESH.
HE WENT AFTER THE HUNTER.
I FOLLOWED THE FOX.
GOD WATCHES OVER
DRUNKARDS AND CHILDREN,
NOT FOOLISH POLICEMEN.
YOU HATE IT HERE.
WHY DO YOU STAY?
I SURROUND MYSELF
WITH GOOD BOOKS,
BRANDY,
DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS.
I MAKE DO.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
[ GUNSHOT ]
WHERE IS HE?
SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG.
DON'T WORRY. HE'LL BE HERE.
[ Normal voice ]
PRESS ON THIS.

[ HORNS HONKING DISTANTLY ]
[ BELL TOLLING ]
[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. BRIGGS.
THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS HELMUT CHERLOTOV,
THE IRON CURTAIN'S EXPERT
IN ROCKET CONTROL.
A YEAR AGO, HIS WIFE KAREN
DEFECTED TO THE WEST.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW,
BUT NEVER MADE IT.
SINCE THEN, CHERLOTOV
HAS BEEN UNDER SUSPICION
BY TAAL JANKOWSKI,
THE HEAD OF SECURITY.
ON HIS OWN, CHERLOTOV
HAS DEVELOPED THE KEY
TO A SIMPLE
YET EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
ANTIBALLISTIC
MISSILE SYSTEM.
A SYSTEM OF THAT SORT
IN THE WRONG HANDS
COULD COMPLETELY DESTROY
THE BALANCE OF POWER
IN THE WORLD.
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU
DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO GET CHERLOTOV OUT
BEFORE HIS GOVERNMENT DISCOVERS
WHAT HE HAS ACHIEVED.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
PLEASE DESTROY THIS RECORDING
IN THE USUAL MANNER.
GOOD LUCK, DAN.
YOU'RE CERTAIN
YOUR HUSBAND
IS STILL
AT THE UNIVERSITY?
I THINK SO. I CAN'T BE
CERTAIN OF ANYTHING,
EXCEPT THAT SINCE I ESCAPED,
THEY WON'T ALLOW HIM
TO DO SENSITIVE WORK.
WHERE DID YOU LIVE?
THEY FORCED HIM TO MOVE.
HE'S IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING
SO THAT THEY CAN
WATCH HIM CONSTANTLY.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS NEW GUIDANCE SYSTEM?
WHEN I LEFT HIM,
IT WAS JUST AN IDEA.
BY NOW, IT'S PROBABLY
COMPLETE.
IF THEY DON'T KNOW
HE'S WORKING ON IT,
HOW CAN THEY
GET IT FROM HIM?
TO HELMUT, HIS LIFE
IS HIS WORK.
IF THEY KEEP HIM THERE,
HE'LL GIVE THEM THE IDEA
SO THAT HE CAN
CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT
RATHER THAN WASTE
HIS LIFE.
I WANT YOU TO TRACE
YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE FOR ME.
I LEFT
FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
I MADE MY WAY TO HERE
AND ESCAPED
THROUGH BEROUN.
I WAITED AT THE BORDER
FOR A WEEK.
HELMUT NEVER GOT OUT.
JANKOWSKI PROBABLY
STOPPED HIM.
EVERY RECENT ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE HAS FAILED,
WHETHER IT'S CLIMBING
OVER A WALL
OR HIDING UNDER A TRUCK --
ANYTHING.
BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING
IN ALL THE UNLIKELY PLACES.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING
HIM OUT THROUGH CUSTOMS.
RIGHT HERE -- BUDEJOVICE.
BUT FIRST, WE GO IN.
I GO IN WITH THE NEXT
GROUP OF AFRICAN STUDENTS
AS A MAJOR
IN ENGINEERING.
DO YOU SPEAK
THE LANGUAGE?
IN A PINCH, BARNEY CAN
ORDER COLD CUTS IN SWAHILI.
WHEN BARNEY
GIVES THE WORD,
WE GET ROLLIN IN.
BARNEY, WE NEED A CAR.
I'LL HAVE IT.
AND A FAST ONE.
I REALLY BELIEVE
YOU CAN DO IT.
THANK YOU.
WE NEED
NEW PASSPORTS, PHOTOS.
ROLLIN, YOU FIRST.
AGAINST THAT WALL.
OKAY, DAN.
EXCUSE ME.
OH,
THIS IS MY GOOD SIDE.
DON'T WORRY.
I'LL TOUCH IT UP.
[ CHUCKLES ]
COMMISSIONER JANKOWSKI?
COMRADES DUCHINOFF,
BERKOV,
LUKOWSKI,
AND HERR BROWDER.
WELCOME, COMRADES.
YOU ARE HERE TO OBSERVE
OUR SECURITY MEASURES
IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE
THOSE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRIES.
[ In German accent ]
AND TO HELP YOU
WHENEVER WE CAN.
WE ARE HERE TO EXCHANGE
IDEAS, CORRECT?
I'M CERTAIN, OF COURSE,
THERE IS A GREAT DEAL
TO BE LEARNED BY US ALL
FROM THE DEPUTY
COMMISSIONER OF POLICE
FOR EAST GERMANY.
SHALL WE START?
I DON'T BELIEVE
IN EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
OF THIS KIND
BEING CONFINED
TO A SERIES
OF STUFFY SEMINARS.
WE BELIEVE OUR
SECURITY SYSTEMS WORK.
I WANT YOU
TO SEE THEM WORK.
IN EAST BERLIN RECENTLY,
WE'VE HAD A NUMBER
OF STUDENT RIOTS.
OH, JUST A FEW
MALCONTENTS, OF COURSE,
BUT TROUBLESOME
NONETHELESS.
I WAS WONDERING
WHAT YOU WOULD DO
WITH THIS SORT
OF TROUBLE.
WE DON'T HAVE
THAT DIFFICULTY, COMRADE.
IF A STUDENT
IS DIFFICULT,
HE IS TRANSFERRED
TO ANOTHER COURSE OF STUDY
IN A DIFFERENT
KIND OF SCHOOL.
UNFORTUNATELY,
ALL ARE HOUSED TOGETHER --
BIOLOGICAL,
RESEARCH,
NUTRITION,
SURGICAL.
Barney: I FIND THE INSTRUCTOR
TO BE AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR.
EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD
ABOUT HIM IS TRUE.
YESTERDAY, FOR EXAMPLE,
WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING
THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM...
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HERR BROWDER!
JUST ONE MOMENT.
MAY I?
COMRADE, THIS IS
AGAINST REGULATIONS!
WILL YOU STOP SHOUTING?
AH, VERY --
VERY INTERESTING.
IT IS SYNTHETIC FLOUR.
WHAT IS THIS?
HE REFUSES TO LISTEN.
COMRADE, I'M NOT
A STUDENT HERE.
I DON'T LIKE
BEING HERDED ABOUT.
YOU WERE INSTRUCTED
TO REMAIN WITH THE GROUP.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED
IN THE WORLD OF FOODS.
OH, I'M NOT A GOURMET.
IT IS MORE OR LESS
A HOBBY.
THEN IF YOU HAVE INDULGED
YOURSELF SUFFICIENTLY --
COMRADE, I OBJECT STRENUOUSLY
TO THIS TREATMENT!
YES, COMRADE,
MOST EMPHATICALLY!
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
JANKOWSKI!
YOU HAVE
BROUGHT ME NEWS.
YOUR REQUEST FOR TRANSFER
IS STILL BEING PROCESSED.
AND IT STILL WILL BE
A YEAR FROM NOW!
WHY AM I HERE AT ALL?
WHY?
[ GLASSES CLATTER ]
PICK THEM UP.
HMM.
[ CHUCKLES ]
EXCUSE ME.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
DON'T THANK ME.
IT'S A PRIVILEGE
TO MEET A MAN
OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW ME?
YOU KNOW I AM A SCIENTIST,
NOT A COOK.
YOUR STORY
HAS INTERESTED ME.
WE MUST TALK
SOME MORE, DOCTOR.
BROWDER!
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
I THOUGHT IT WAS
QUITE OBVIOUS.
YOU WERE IN
AN EMBARRASSING POSITION,
AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO LOSE FACE.
YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO TALK TO HIM.
A NEW FACE,
A NEW APPROACH.
WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY STILL
BE IN THAT MAN'S MIND?
YOUR METHODS ARE DIFFERENT
FROM MINE, COMRADE.
YES. DOES THAT
MAKE THEM WRONG?
NOT NECESSARILY.
YOU ARE AWARE THE MAN
IS A SECURITY RISK.
OF COURSE.
THANK YOU.
PROST.
A VERY PRETTY
GIRL, HUH?
YES, LOVELY.
SHE LIKES YOU.
NO, NO, SHE SEES
THE EVIL IN ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND WOMEN ARE
ATTRACTED TO EVIL, HUH?
OF COURSE. IT RELIEVES
THE BOREDOM.
I SEE.
I WONDER WHY
SHE'S WORKING HERE.
WELL, WHY NOT?
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE HER
AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS
AND GIVE HER
WHAT SHE DESERVES.
HEY, MAYBE SHE'S GOT
A COUPLE OF GIRLFRIENDS, HUH?
YEAH! ASK HER ABOUT IT!
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.
I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.
WE ARE GUESTS IN THIS COUNTRY.
IT WOULD NOT BE PROPER.
I THINK HE LIKES TO
KEEP HER FOR HIMSELF.
NO, ON THE CONTRARY,
I'M TIRED.
IT'S QUITE LATE.
SO, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
COMRADES.
GOOD NIGHT, BROWDER.
GOOD NIGHT.
[ THUMPS ]
I DIDN'T KNOW. I --
YOU WERE
PROBABLY FOLLOWED.
I AM ALWAYS FOLLOWED,
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT ROOM I'M IN.
I TOOK A CHANCE
TO COME HERE,
BUT WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE?
I'M AT THE END
OF MY ROPE.
I HAD HOPED
MY MEANING GOT THROUGH TO YOU
IN THE LABORATORY.
IT WAS QUITE DIRECT.
COMRADE, I DON'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
I AM NOT EVEN SURE
THAT I CAN TRUST YOU.
YOU KNOW ABOUT MY WIFE?
NATURALLY.
THEY ALMOST FIRED JANKOWSKI
OVER HER DEFECTION.
IT WILL BE NO SIMPLE MATTER
TO HELP ME.
WE'D BETTER GET STARTED.
YOUR EFFORTS WILL BE
RICHLY REWARDED
IF WE SUCCEED.
WE'LL TAKE YOU
TO VIENNA.
VIENNA?
ALL RIGHT,
YOU PICK THE PLACE.
YOU JOKE. YOU THINK
I'M JUST MOUTHING WORDS.
DOCTOR, DON'T SELL ME.
I AM HERE.
YES.
HERE.
WHILE JANKOWSKI
BELIEVES I AM COOKING,
I HAVE BEEN THINKING.
A SIMPLIFIED ANTIMISSILE
GUIDANCE SYSTEM,
AND IT WILL WORK.
JANKOWSKI CAN KEEP ME
FROM MY LABORATORY,
BUT HE CANNOT STOP
MY MIND FROM WORKING.
JANKOWSKI HAS THIS
RIDICULOUS IDEA
THAT I INTEND
TO FOLLOW MY WIFE,
BUT IT IS NOT TRUE.
I SWEAR TO YOU,
IT IS NOT TRUE.
KAREN -- KAREN IS --
IS TOO SENSITIVE.
I -- I TRIED
TO STOP HER,
BUT SHE LEFT -- RAN.
AND JANKOWSKI'S OUT
TO MAKE ME PAY.
I AM CONVINCED
THE ONLY ANSWER
IS TO GO TO SOMEONE
HIGHER UP.
BUT IF I SHOW THESE PLANS
TO THE WRONG PERSON,
I AM ARRESTED.
YOU HAVE INFLUENCE.
PLEASE, I BEG YOU,
HELP ME -- MAKE THEM
UNDERSTAND
THAT I AM
A LOYAL CITIZEN.
I AM LOYAL
TO MY COUNTRY.
I ONLY WANT TO WORK.
YES. YES, OF COURSE.
YOU WILL HELP?
I'LL DO SOMETHING.
[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]
YOU HAVE NEWS?
COME IN.
SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
THERE IS TROUBLE.
I KNOW IT.
YOUR HUSBAND DOESN'T WANT
TO LEAVE, THAT'S ALL.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM?
HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO FOLLOW.
YOU KNEW HE WOULDN'T.
I HOPED!
OHH.
HE KEPT DENYING
WHAT WE BOTH SAW,
WHAT WE BOTH KNEW
TO BE THE TRUTH.
"BE PATIENT, KAREN."
"THEY ARE MAKING
MISTAKES, THAT'S ALL."
"GIVE THEM TIME, KAREN."
AND ALL THE TIME,
I SAW THEIR CRIMES
EATING AWAY AT HIS SOUL.
AND SO YOU RAN?
I THOUGHT OUR LOVE
WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO PULL HIM OUT OF THERE
BEFORE HE WAS DESTROYED.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
BEFORE?
WOULD YOU HAVE STILL GONE?
YOUR HUSBAND'S RESEARCH
IS VITAL TO THIS NATION.
OF COURSE WE'D HAVE GONE,
WITH MUCH BETTER CHANCE
FOR SUCCESS.
NOW WE HAVE TO PLAY
OUR TRUMP CARD --
THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE.
YOU.
THEY WOULD KILL ME.
YOU KNOW THAT.
IF YOU FELL INTO
THEIR HANDS, YES.
BUT YOU WON'T.
YOU WILL
DEMAND NOTHING!
Cherlotov: A CITIZEN
HAS RIGHTS!
YOUR WIFE TOOK YOURS
WITH HER, COMRADE.
MY WIFE'S ACTIONS
WERE HER OWN.
YOU ARE TO STOP EMBARRASSING
THE GOVERNMENT
WITH YOUR CONSTANT PLEAS
FOR UNDERSTANDING
FROM EVERY AVAILABLE EAR.
I AM LOYAL.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, EXCUSE ME.
YOU INTELLECTUALS --
LOYAL, LOYAL, LOYAL.
TO WHOM?
TO YOURSELVES?
TO YOUR OWN LITTLE,
SMALL WORLD?
YOU SELL YOUR SOULS,
AND THEN YOU RATIONALIZE
THAT IT IS FOR THE GOOD
OF SOMETHING GREATER,
AS YET UNDEFINED.
COME NOW, DOCTOR,
ADMIT IT --
TOO MUCH LEARNING
UNDERMINES A MAN'S LOYALTY.
THAT IS PERHAPS
THE MOST STUPID,
THE MOST ILLOGICAL STATEMENT
EVER MADE.
IDIOTS AND MADMEN
ARE RUNNING THIS WORLD.
CONSIDER YOURSELF
WARNED
FOR THE LAST TIME,
DOCTOR.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
COMRADE JANKOWSKI
IS A VERY DECENT FELLOW.
TRY TO GET ALONG.
COME ON.
[ SPITS ]
HOW DARE YOU,
YOU BLIND FOOL?
YOU MAKE ME SICK!
OPEN UP YOUR EYES!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
LOOK AROUND YOU!
PEOPLE LIKE JANKOWSKI --
SEE WHAT THEY DO EVERY DAY!
OPEN UP
YOUR BLIND EYES!
THEIR WHOLE ROUTINE
WAS AN ACT,
A WELL-REHEARSED PLEA
FOR UNDERSTANDING.
THEN, AFTER YOU
ARE DISARMED,
HE WILL USE YOU
FOR HIS REAL PURPOSE --
ESCAPE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
AH, YOU WERE WISE
TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.
AND YOU HANDLED HIM
VERY WELL.
NAPOLEON, HMM?
WE BROKE UP A GANG
OF BLACK MARKETEERS
THE OTHER NIGHT.
THE EVIDENCE
IS CONCLUSIVE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU OFFICE HAS GIVEN ME
MUCH TO READ,
IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
STAY A WHILE.
THAT LUPESH
AND HIS MANUALS.
HE WOULDN'T KNOW
A SECOND-RATE SPY
IF THE MAN HANDED HIM
ENGRAVED CREDENTIALS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
BESIDES, HOW OFTEN
DO I GET A CHANCE
TO CHAT WITH SOMEONE
BUT A BUREAUCRATIC FOOL
IN THIS JUNGLE WE CALL
AN ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY?
CAREFUL -- I COULD
HAVE YOU ARRESTED
FOR A REMARK LIKE THAT.
LUPESH WOULD ALREADY
BE AT THE POLITBURO,
SMACKING HIS LIPS
AT THE PROSPECT OF MY JOB.
THIS DR., UH, CHERLOTOV,
HE DISTURBS YOU, NO?
LIFE...COULD BE
MORE PLEASANT.
I TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
THIS FELLOW
PLACED IN A CELL
FOR A LITTLE WHILE,
WITH OTHER
POLITICAL PRISONERS,
PERHAPS SOME
OF HIS OLD FRIENDS?
YES, LET HIM OBSERVE
THE MENTAL DECAY
THAT SETS IN
WHEN AN ACTIVE MIND
IS JAILED FOR A WHILE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU HAVE TO BE
THE COLDEST FISH IN THE SEA.
TO A LESSON.
HMM.
AND NOW,
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
ONE MOMENT.
YOUR PASSPORT.
CLEAR THIS.
YES, SIR.
WHAT IS IT?
A NEW IDEA OF MINE.
ALL VISITORS MUST APPLY
FOR THE VISA LETTER.
NEW INSTRUCTIONS
ON EXPORTING GIFTS.
ITS REAL PURPOSE
IS TO GIVE US
AN ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CHECK,
WITHOUT HAVING
TO ROUND PEOPLE UP
AS THOUGH WE WERE
A POLICE STATE.
BRILLIANT.
YOU CAME HERE
TO LEARN, NO?
THE SOONER WE START
OUR LITTLE GAME, THE BETTER.
BUT THIS IS A MISTAKE.
I DON'T BELONG HERE!
BUT THIS IS A MISTAKE!
I DON'T BELONG HERE!
IT IS A MISTAKE!
I AM LOYAL!
HELMUT CHERLOTOV?
PROFESSOR LAUCHEK.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
IN WARSAW.
WORKING ON A SECRET
PROJECT, NO DOUBT.
BUT EVERYONE SAID --
YEAH, EVERYONE SAID WHAT
THEY WERE TOLD TO SAY.
WHAT'S HIS CRIME?
OH, UH, UH, DR. YABLONSKI,
INTRODUCTIONS.
HELMUT WAS ONE
OF MY PUPILS
AT THE UNIVERSITY.
YABLONSKI'S
PROFESSOR EMERITUS
FOR INTERNAL MEDICINE
AT PUSEK MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Yablonski: WHO HAS CONTROL
OF WHAT THESE DAYS?
Lauchek: HE HAS
A HEARING AID,
BUT THEY WON'T
GIVE HIM BATTERIES.
HEARD A RUMOR ABOUT
POLITICAL AMNESTY.
BUT IT'S NO POINT NOW.
STILL,
IT WOULD BE NICE
TO SPEND A FEW DAYS.
DEAR GOD, WHAT ARE THEY
DOING TO YOU?
THEY ARE
TEACHING US, HELMUT.
THEY ARE JUST --
JUST TEACHING US.
DR. CHERLOTOV.
UH-HUH.
I'LL BE LEAVING SOON.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO
WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
IS THERE ANY MORE
I CAN DO FOR YOU, DOCTOR?
PERHAPS THEY WILL
LET YOU OUT SOON.
MAYBE THEY WILL EVEN
PERMIT YOU TO ATTACK
A VERY IMPORTANT PROBLEM.
WHO ARE YOU?
YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM
ABOUT THE PLANS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
GOODBYE, DR. CHERLOTOV.
TELL ME, BROWDER...
DO YOU KNOW A VILLAGE
IN YOUR COUNTRY
CALLED LUDWIGSLUST?
LUDWIGSLUST?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS SENT THERE
RIGHT AFTER THE WAR.
THE PEOPLE
WERE VERY KIND.
BUT THE PAST
IS OUT OF REACH FOR US NOW.
IF NOT OUT OF MIND.
MM-HMM.
THE MIND, DEAR COMRADE,
IS THE LAST
PRIVATE REFUGE WE HAVE.
TELL ME,
WHAT GOES ON IN THE MIND
OF HELMUT CHERLOTOV?
YOU THINK
WE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING
BY PUTTING HIM IN PRISON?
NO. IT MADE
NO IMPRESSION.
I WAS WRONG.
I ADMIT IT.
IT WAS A CHESS MOVE,
NOTHING MORE.
I WOULD LET HIM GO.
HMM.
I LIKE A MAN WHO CAN
ADMIT HE'S BEEN WRONG.
I'LL PUT
THE ORDER THROUGH.
HE'LL PROBABLY BE OUT
IN THE MORNING.
HMM.
CHECK.
WITH THIS NEW REGULATION
OF JANKOWSKI'S,
WE'LL NEED
ONE OF THESE NEW FORMS
FOR EVERY PASSPORT
BY MORNING.
ANY PROBLEMS
IN DUPLICATING IT, BARNEY?
NO, IT'S
PRETTY SIMPLE.
HOW ABOUT THE SEAL?
WELL...
HMM.
WHAT IS IT?
TROUBLE.
TROUBLE?
YEAH.
THE SEAL'S EASY.
THIS PAPER'S A TRAP.
TRAP? HOW?
THEY KNOW THAT ANYBODY
WITH A FORGED PASSPORT
WOULD RATHER MAKE UP
ONE OF THESE FORMS
THAN APPLY FOR IT.
SO THEY'VE IMPREGNATED
THIS PAPER WITH METAL FIBERS.
5 WILL GET YOU 10
THAT THE BORDER GUARDS
JUST GOT THEIR METERS.
CAN YOU DO ANYTHING?
NO, NOT WITHOUT
THIS KIND OF PAPER.
THEN WE'LL JUST
HAVE TO GET SOME FORMS.
MY, UH, MY COMRADES ARE
ANXIOUS FOR A BIG TIME.
WHY DON'T I ARRANGE
SOMETHING, HUH?
WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?
THREE HEALTHY
GROWN-UP MEN
AWAY FROM HOME FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS,
AND WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
STANDING,
DRINKING BEER.
SUGGEST SOMETHING.
SUGGEST SOMETHING?
A PARTY.
WE DON'T KNOW
ANYBODY.
MY DEAR FRIEND,
BERRIES DO NOT
DROP OFF THE VINE,
THEY ARE PLUCKED.
JUST A MOMENT,
MY DEAR.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THAT, UH,
YOUR TOURIST CATALOGS
ARE LIES,
FABRICATIONS,
AND BLATANT DECEPTIONS?
COMRADE,
OUR CITY IS THE JEWEL
OF THE CONTINENT.
MY FRIENDS AND I
WILL DISMISS THAT
AS OVERZEALOUS
TOURIST PROPAGANDA.
OUR HOTEL CAN PROVIDE
EXCELLENT GUIDES.
GUIDES?
A GUIDE YOU OFFER?
SHE OFFERS US A GUIDE.
YOU MEAN,
ONE OF THOSE FELLOWS
WITH A BLACK LEATHER COAT
AND A PROGRAM UNDER HIS ARM?
NO, NO, NO.
THAT WILL NEVER DO.
BUT YOU WILL
LIKE OUR CITY.
YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY,
AND YET YOU SHRUG IT OFF.
THEY EVEN EXAGGERATE
ABOUT THE GRACIOUSNESS
OF THEIR WOMEN.
WHAT CAN I DO?
AH, THERE, YOU SEE? YOU DO HAVE
A HEART AFTER ALL.
I WILL ARRANGE A PARTY.
A PARTY?
YES, TONIGHT. YOU ARE INVITED,
AND YOU WILL BRING SOME FRIENDS.
I AM HERR BROWDER.
I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER LOTS OF
HORS D'OEUVRES, LOTS OF VODKA
FOR A PARTY
IN MY ROOM TONIGHT.
BUT, SIR...
TELL ME YOUR NAME.
SOPHIA.
SOPHIA.
A LOVELY NAME.
AND YOU'RE
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
I LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING YOU TONIGHT.
GENTLEMEN, SHALL WE?
EXCUSE ME.
OOH, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
ARE YOU A--
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
BUT IT WAS MY FAULT.
MISS? MISS,
JUST ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
THAT'S A VERY FINE
PIECE OF WORK.
IS IT FOR SALE?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
PLEASE? I WOULD
LIKE TO PURCHASE IT.
WELL, I'LL HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT IT.
I'M IN ROOM 305
IF YOU SHOULD DECIDE.
YOU REALLY THINK IT'S GOOD?
WHY ELSE WOULD I SAY SO?
COMRADE COMMISSIONER?
SEE TO IT, LUPESH.
WELL?
A ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM THE EAST BERLIN POLICE
REQUESTING DATA
ON PETTY CRIMINAL.
MUST I DO EVERYTHING
IN THIS OFFICE?
THIS LETTER IS SIGNED
HERR BROWDER.
WE KNOW HERR BROWDER.
IT IS DATED TWO DAYS AGO.
SO?
HERR BROWDER HAS BEEN HERE
A WEEK AT LEAST.
NO, NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WHAT DID THE FELLOW WANT?
SIR?
THE CLERK OUTSIDE.
ROUTINE.
ALL RIGHT, LUPESH.
CALL IT A DAY.
SURPRISE!
Men: OH, HELLO.
SOPHIA YOU KNOW.
CARLA, ANYA --
COMRADES DUCHINOFF,
BERKOV, AND LUKOWSKI.
AND NOW LET'S HAVE
SOME MUSIC!
Woman: OH, THANK YOU.
Man: LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
THERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
VODKA
FOR EVERYBODY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
A WONDERFUL PARTY.
I DID NOT EXPECT THERE
TO BE A PARTY THIS EVENING.
OH, WELL, YOU KNOW...
DO YOU HAVE A CIGARETTE?
NO, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
I DO NOT HAVE ONE.
WHERE DO YOU WORK?
I'M WORKING
DOWNSTAIRS.
DID YOU ASK
FOR A CIGARETTE?
YES, PLEASE.
A CIGARETTE.
[ GASPS ]
OH, HE'S A MAGICIAN.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
YES.
HOW DOES HE DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S VERY GOOD, BROWDER.
PLEASE,
PLEASE, DO ANOTHER ONE.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT IT'S GONE.
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
DO IT --
DO IT AGAIN, PLEASE.
OH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
NOW, WATCH CLOSELY.
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH.
NOW, WATCH.
THERE.
OH, WONDERFUL!
OH, DO IT AGAIN!
AGAIN?
JA.
THEN SHOW US
HOW YOU DO IT.
OH, NO, NO, NO, YOU'VE GOT TO
FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
OH, I'LL GET IT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT,
ONE MORE TIME. WATCH.
OOP.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
THERE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BRAVO. BRAVO.
YOU LIKE MAGIC, HUH?
YEAH.
BROWDER, THE PORTER
BROUGHT THIS.
HE SAYS THE LADY'S
IN THE BAR.
OUR FRIEND BROWDER HAS
A REAL WAY ABOUT HIM.
DON'T BE SILLY.
SHE PROBABLY JUST WANTS
TO TELL ME THE PRICE.
I'LL GO DOWN
AND TALK TO HER,
AND, UH, I'LL SEND UP
SOME MORE VODKA.
YEAH, MORE VODKA.
Man: MORE VODKA!
PLEASE DON'T GO.
I MUST. I CAN'T BE RUDE.
I ASKED TO BUY IT.
I WILL RETURN VERY SOON.
I PROMISE, ALL RIGHT?
KEEP THE PARTY GOING.
KEEP THE PARTY GOING!
DON'T WORRY. DON'T WORRY.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
LET'S DANCE.
SHE'S NOT IN THE BAR.
I WANTED YOU.
DR. CHERLOTOV IS BEING
RELEASED IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.
WE CAN'T WAIT
TILL MORNING NOW.
THE BORDER CLOSES
AT MIDNIGHT.
CAN YOU PICK HIM UP
AT THE PRISON?
YES. YOU TAKE KAREN
TO HIS LABORATORY.
MAKE SURE SHE WAITS
FOR HIM.
DID YOU GET THE PASSPORTS?
NO, NOT YET, BUT I WILL.
HE MUST BE MISERABLE
IN THIS PLACE.
YES, I'M QUITE SURE.
NOW, LISTEN. YOU'LL BE
PERFECTLY SAFE HERE.
DON'T DO ANYTHING
UNTIL I COME BACK.
I UNDERSTAND.
AND DON'T WORRY.
[ Foreign accent ]
MY CAR'S RIGHT OVER HERE.
MAY I DROP YOU?
LEAVE ME ALONE.
MY HANDS WERE TIED,
ABSOLUTELY TIED.
JANKOWSKI HAD YOU FOLLOWED.
HE KNEW WE WERE MEETING.
I HAD TO PLAY THE GAME
TO PROTECT MYSELF.
I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I CAN STILL SMELL
THEIR DIRTY BODIES --
MEN I RESPECTED.
PROFESSOR LAUCHEK SWEEPING
GARBAGE BACK AND FORTH,
UNTIL HIS DIGNITY
WILL BE GONE.
HELMUT, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
PLEASE, GET IN.
WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.
Man: HERR BROWDER.
DR. CHERLOTOV.
DR. CHERLOTOV, YOU MAY GO.
I WISH TO SPEAK
WITH HERR BROWDER.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING,
DR. CHERLOTOV.
JUST COME WITH ME.
MAKE THIS DISAPPEAR.
[ LAUGHS ]
NOT THAT WAY.
MAKE IT REALLY DISAPPEAR.
I ACCEPT
YOUR CHALLENGE.
WATCH, EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY WATCH.
NOW, I NEED
A HANDKERCHIEF.
MAY I BORROW
YOUR HANDKERCHIEF?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WATCH NOW.
ARE YOU WATCHING?
YES.
WATCH NOW. WATCH.
AHA!
WHERE DID IT GO?
HOW DO YOU
DO THAT?
WHERE?
I DON'T SEE WHAT
HAPPENED TO IT.
I WONDER
IF YOU HAVE IT.
NO, I DON'T HAVE IT.
NO GLASS. MY GOODNESS.
WHERE IS THE GLASS,
I WONDER?
WATCH.
HA HA HA HA.
HOW DID YOU
GET THE GLASS?
TELL ME, DUCHINOFF,
DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?
OH. HEY, MY WATCH.
COME ON, COME ON.
I DON'T HAVE YOUR WATCH.
WHO HAS HIS WATCH?
SOMEBODY HERE --
I'LL BET YOU HAVE HIS WATCH.
OH, NO, NO.
NOT ME.
HE HAS IT.
HE HAS IT.
Woman: AHA.
I THINK WE
FIND IT THERE.
NO WATCH.
I DON'T SEE A --
OH!
HOW DID YOU
LIKE THAT?
THAT'S FANTASTIC!
ISN'T THAT
FANTASTIC?
HEY, MY BELT
IS GONE.
HIS BELT IS GONE!
WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S NOT A NICE
THING TO DO.
BERKOV HAS IT.
OF COURSE HE DOES.
I'LL BET YOU HAVE HIS BELT.
YOU STOLE HIS BELT.
NO, NOT ME.
HE WAS WITH ME.
NO.
I WAS DANCING.
OH, OH, OH.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND -- A BELT.
AHA.
HE TOOK MY BELT.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU'RE NOT VERY NICE.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT
IF I STOLE YOUR TIE?
Man: HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?
AND YOUR SHIRT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S ALL THE MAGIC
FOR NOW.
HOW DID HE DO THAT?
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.
[ GLASS THUMPS ]
AM I TO BE REWARDED?
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHY DID YOU
BRING ME HERE?
I TOLD YOU,
I'M A FRIEND.
I DON'T KNOW YOU.
HOW DO I KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
KAREN...
HERE?
KAREN, HOW? HOW?
OH, DARLING.
OH, MY WIFE.
KAREN, YOU ENDANGERED
YOURSELF BY COMING BACK.
YOU KNOW THAT.
SOPHIA, SHOULD I CALL
THE POLICE?
[ SIGHS ]
I DON'T WANT TO, BUT...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOPHIA, YOU DIDN'T
JUST STEAL MONEY.
YOU STOLE VISAS
AND IDENTIFICATION PAPERS.
THAT'S A TERRIBLE CRIME
IN THIS COUNTRY.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
SOPHIA, I LIKE YOU.
I DON'T WANT
TO SEE YOU IN TROUBLE.
PLEASE...
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME.
THINGS ARE SO BAD
AT HOME.
GET ME THE WALLETS.
I'LL PUT THEM BACK.
THEY WILL NEVER SUSPECT
THEY WERE MISSING.
I JUST STOPPED BY FOR A MOMENT
TO SEE HERR BROWDER.
COMRADE JANKOWSKI.
GOOD EVENING.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE
SOME CONVERSATION OVER A DRINK,
BUT, UH, I SEE THAT YOU
HAVE VERY PLEASANT COMPANY.
I'M SURE THESE LOVELY
PEOPLE WILL EXCUSE ME.
WE COULD GO DOWN TO THE BAR
AND, UH, HAVE A DRINK.
KEEP THE PARTY GOING
TILL I RETURN, ALL RIGHT?
OH, YES.
WHERE IS HE?
WE'VE GOT TO BE
AT THE BORDER BY MORNING.
HE KNOWS THAT.
HE'LL BE HERE.
I'M SORRY.
KAREN...
HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN
YOU WENT ACROSS THE BORDER?
FREE.
I CANNOT SO EASILY
DESERT MY HOMELAND.
IT WAS NOT EASY FOR ME.
I THOUGHT
IT WAS ALL SETTLED.
IF EVERYONE RUNS, WHO WILL
MAKE THINGS BETTER?
NOT YOUR OLD PROFESSORS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YOU KNOW HOW TO LIVE,
HERR BROWDER.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
YES, I ENJOY LIFE.
MM-HMM. THAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN
LIKE YOU AND ME, AND SAY,
A MAN LIKE LUPESH.
WE ENJOY LIFE.
COMMISSIONER,
TELEPHONE, PLEASE.
OH.
EXCUSE ME.
SOMETHING HAS COME UP
WITH CHERLOTOV.
MAYBE YOU WOULD
LIKE TO COME WITH ME,
IN AS MUCH AS YOU'VE
TAKEN AN INTEREST IN HIM?
FINE. MY CAR'S OUTSIDE.
I'LL DRIVE YOU.
GOOD.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
ROLLIN'S COMING.
[ THUDS ]
GIVE IT TO ME.
OUT, DOCTOR. NOW.
MADAME CHERLOTOV.
HOW NICE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MY MAN SAID
THERE WERE OTHERS HERE,
BUT SUCH A SURPRISE.
OVER THERE.
WITH THEM.
THIS ONE WORKED VERY HARD
TO GET YOU
TO OPEN YOUR EYES.
I CONGRATULATE YOU.
WELL, I SAID
YOU WERE A SHREWD ONE
RIGHT OFF, DIDN'T I?
[ CHUCKLES ]
POOR LUPESH.
HE WENT AFTER THE HUNTER.
I FOLLOWED THE FOX.
GOD WATCHES OVER
DRUNKARDS AND CHILDREN,
NOT FOOLISH POLICEMEN.
YOU HATE IT HERE.
WHY DO YOU STAY?
I SURROUND MYSELF
WITH GOOD BOOKS,
BRANDY,
DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS.
I MAKE DO.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
[ GUNSHOT ]
WHERE IS HE?
SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG.
DON'T WORRY. HE'LL BE HERE.
[ Normal voice ]
PRESS ON THIS.
