Spy/Master (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

I'll ask again! What were
you doing at Dr. Urdea's?

I wasn't feeling well. I asked
my friend to come with me.

What was your father's message
about you leaving the country?

There was no message, I swear!

Then why did you have all that
foreign currency in your room?

Chickie, lying to the Secret
Police is punishable by law.

I didn't know Dad put it there.

Lies! Urdea was supposed to deliver
you to the Americans at the border.

- Where?
- I wish my dad had thought of that.

But there was no plan. I
didn't know he meant to defect!

Really?



So daddy dear left
you on your own?

Is that what you're saying?

How could he, if he adored you?

There's no way. You
know how I know that?

Look.

Because Felix told
me everything.

As you are going to do also.

She must have seen
or heard something!

We must get it out of her!

I bet she's as
unstable as her mother.

She's just a child, Elena.

She's just a child!

A traitor's child!

I'd give anything to make
sure Victor is suffering,



but I can't go that
far with Ileana!

If those Free Europe bastards
find out, they'll tell the world

that I'm a monster
torturing innocent children.

She's not innocent! No
one who served Victor is!

We have to let Victor know
his daughter is suffering.

Our sources in Bucharest say the
Securitate took her for questioning.

They're doing it to get to me.

I am sure they will
let her out soon.

What do you mean? How
long has she been there?

- All night.
- What?

Get me Frank. I
want to talk to him.

Frank is no longer on your case.

Then get me whoever
is in charge!

- I want to make a deal. Now!
- Yes, sir.

This number is not allocated.

Shit.

This number is not allocated.

Shit!

You want to talk?

I have crucial information that could
threaten the Camp David peace talks.

- Like what?
- Like an attack.

An attack?

You gonna have to give me more
if you want me to believe you.

Not before your
president promises me

that I'll be on a plane to
Washington within 24 hours.

He'll get my daughter to the States
by Christmas. This Christmas.

I'm afraid you're not exactly in
a position to set conditions here.

Just send a message to Riley.
He'll know what to do with it.

See, now you are
hurting my feelings.

You know, everyone at
Langley, including George,

is questioning your credibility.

So if I'm gonna be your
little messenger...

You're gonna have to make
me believe it's for real.

Walter.

You have a nice life here.

But that will be taken from you

when the Camp David peace
talks fail on your watch

'cause you tried playing
hardball with a Commie

instead of following up on
intel about a deadly attack.

See, Anita is here already.

You'll love the school
trip. I promise.

You might even make
campfire bread!

- Hi, Anita.
- Hello.

Hi, you three.

Be good, all right?
But not too good.

Listen to the counselors.

Mom loves you so much.

Enjoy the trip, my little angel.

Okay, in you go.

Is there still room?

Bye, enjoy.

Max!

I'm a pain in the ass,

I'm off the case, but when
you need me I'm back on?

Well, you did say he was your
guy, so it's still your mess.

Just, you know, go around and
make him tell you what he knows.

- No.
- Give us a reason to believe.

- Can you afford not to?
- Victor.

Withholding crucial information
from us might make Langley wonder

if we're in the
same boat. Are we?

Funny, I've started to ask
myself the same question.

Keeping me here doesn't
quite give me the confidence

in the CIA's intentions.

- You lied.
- So did you.

Yet here I am putting
something on the table.

Take it or not, check it
or not, it's your choice.

You want a deal?

You want a Christmas
turkey in the free world

with your beloved daughter?

Then you have got to convince us

that you're not playing
games, General Godeanu.

There's an Arab faction in Bonn

ready to blow up your
president's peace talks.

- Do you have a name and a place?
- Just a name.

Ceaușescu has them
guarded like Fort Knox.

How the hell does he think
we're gonna get his family out?

Not his family,
just his daughter.

Those Commies are
cold-hearted bastards.

- What if he's bluffing?
- Who knows.

If there's a grain of truth to it,
we've got to take it seriously.

But why is he coming
out with it now?

His daughter's been
taken, he's stuck here.

If he's saved this
intel for a rainy day,

it doesn't get
rainier than this.

Okay. You call George,
I'll call the Germans.

- Why me? I'm persona non grata.
- That's precisely why.

He already hates you.

Why the hell didn't you guys
know about this earlier?

It takes a defector to tell you
what's going on on your own backyard?

Did any of us know the Egyptians
could just kick out the Soviets?

- That is not the point.
- It's precisely the point!

And if it makes you feel any better,
it seems the Germans had no clue.

But, you know, I get it.

You want me to be a
piñata? Fine. Go ahead.

We got all the fucking
time in the world.

Frank, this is going to
rattle the president.

We need to be sure.

I mean, do you really buy
what Godeanu was saying?

I don't think we can afford
to debate this anymore.

I doubt Godeanu is just
casually gambling with his...

With his own future.
And his daughter's.

Okay. Do it. I'll
get Carter on board.

The world looks different from
behind a window, don't you think?

I suppose so.

Hey, look. You made
the front page.

Nice car.

WHO IS ROMANIAN
DEFECTOR VICTOR GODEANU?

I'm sure that, once we
get through this chaos,

your family will join you.

I'm not sure of
anything anymore.

John, can I trust you?

Can you do me a favor?

There's a conference at
the Embassy on Saturday.

We'll use this to get
inside and take Godeanu.

I know where to take him.

- Do they have IDs for the conference?
- Yes.

Good.

I want to be a hundred percent
certain that what I see here

is exactly how it
is out in the field.

I want to know if this corner
is as protected as it looks.

That no military police or
marines are wandering around.

We have the schedule
of the marines

and guards on three
floors, including Victor's.

Lunch time, habits,
how often they change.

We've got the
official timetables.

- Now all we need to do is confirm it.
- Good.

And keep your ear
on that microphone.

Maybe we get valuable
intel straight from CIA.

Yes.

This can't fail.

I will find a way to get
you out of that hell.

In a few months
you'll be with me.

In America.

Nice car.

- We have a deal. Give me the name.
- You have Carter's promise?

George's, but he'll
convince Carter.

- Are you sure?
- No.

But neither of us
has a better option.

- Promise me.
- I promise.

Omar Fahim.

Hello?

Sorry, Safiya. I can't
talk, I need to go.

Okay. No problem, Mrs. Ingrid.

Gustav's mother is ill and
Gustav is on a business trip,

so I have to check on her.

I'm sorry to hear that.

No, I'm sorry. I know
you're having a hard time.

Is everything all right?

Omar and Jabare left
without saying anything.

I think...

I believe maybe I overreacted.

No, you didn't. Listen.

Take your son and get as far as
possible from the two of them.

I need to hang up. Don't
forget what I said.

My son is in school.
I don't know how to...

Listen to me.

Do exactly as I tell you.

Get Achmed from school.

Pack a bag, only what you
can carry. Then leave.

Blend into the crowd.

If you feel followed,
hide in a store.

Then go on. As far as you can.

I hope to see you
again when I'm back.

How are you? Did they hurt you?

- How could Dad do this?
- Look at me.

He knew what would happen to us.

I'll find a way. I promise.

- It will be fine.
- How?

Can't you see we're
prisoners here?

I'm going upstairs.
Leave me alone!

He's okayed it. But only
because he's petrified

the smallest things will
sink the peace talks.

- We all are.
- There's not a lot to go on.

Bonn's a small city.

Frank's alerted the Germans, the
troops are searching every corner.

And he's questioning
Godeanu's morals.

Didn't like that he bargained
into this kind of intel.

Politics is all about
bargaining. And come on...

He wants his daughter out
and we want Camp David safe.

It's a win-win.

The flat's been raided.
Assume I'm being followed.

I've met Omar.

He was in one of our training
camps a few years ago.

He went by the name of Ishmael.

The German police lost him, but
they gave us what they had on them.

You know her?

We know she's
Ingrid's housekeeper.

Is Safiya involved
in the attack?

If she is, then your Ingrid
might know about it too, right?

And if Ingrid knows, the big
question is: Is Stasi behind it?

- Or just her.
- It makes no sense.

Ingrid has nothing
to do with it.

- How can you be so sure?
- I know her.

Very well.

I guess whoever gave you Omar
wanted this to blow back on her.

How bad is it?

Is Godeanu talking?

Not yet, as far as we know.

Any news from our
Russian friend?

No. We're still on schedule.

It has to be tomorrow.

The police got a tip.

They have a name, but
they're sitting on it.

We've done our bit,
they've got the guns.

Let's see how it plays out.

And Mrs. Von Weizendorff?
Anything new?

The BND know she's Stasi,
but we're still in the clear.

I think she's on the run.

Just as well. She'll make
a good scapegoat if needed.

Right.

I saw the file she
has on me, it's clean.

She doesn't know anything.

So, officially,
she's on the run,

or crazy, or both.

Yeah, you got some technique.

They call that one putting
the hand in the cookie jar.

You must have given them
something pretty juicy back there.

You're gonna want to be in
Washington when I give up all I know.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Like how much technology we
have stolen from the West.

And what we and the
Soviets plan to do with it.

- Are they beefing up security?
- It's for a conference tomorrow.

- So it's not all about me, then.
- Oh, no.

They're still keeping
you under wraps.

Half the staff don't
even know your situation.

- So, who do they think I am?
- Frank's Romanian basketball buddy?

What's so special
about this conference?

Just that a lot of
important people are coming.

Including Sasha Kenvin, you know,
the Israeli basketball player.

I hope to get his autograph.

Once they have been ID'd as
waiters, they have access anywhere.

As long as they are carrying
a tray, they belong there.

I'm just gonna
take one of these.

This gives us access to corridors
to the administrative wing.

Including Frank Jackson's
floor, where is his office.

We are planning to get the movements
of the officers who can enter

the wing where
Godeanu is being kept.

We're checking all corridors, all
exits, all stairs, everything.

There are two lifts
before reaching Godeanu.

We want to check if Simpson
and Jackson are using

the one closer to their wing.

Once we know the walking
patterns of Godeanu's visitors,

we can plan the escape route
with the least risk of exposure.

We have an idea where
Godeanu's room is.

Let's see how easy
it is to get there.

Agent Poenaru will check
the entire east wing,

until he finds Victor's room.

- What about the gun?
- He'll have it, he'll hide it today.

But the plan is
just to scoop him.

Give me one of those.

The president said yes.

- Omar can't be working alone.
- I agree.

We trained Arab
soldiers, you know.

I might be able to help. Narrow
it down at least for you.

Don't shut me out.

I know what's at stake
and you know I can help.

Okay.

There is something I'd
like you to do for me.

I thought there might be.

John was kind enough to let me
record this message for my daughter.

Can you get it to Ileana?

Get it to her in Romania?

I trust you'll find a way.

I'll find a way to get
you out of that hell.

In a few months
you'll be with me.

In America.

You promised him that we'd
get this tape to his daughter?

'Cause that's not an
easy gig, you know that.

I didn't promise anything.

I just wanted him to get
it out of his system.

And what's the word from
our Romanian friends are?

She's under 24-hour
surveillance.

We can't actually
get her this tape.

Most likely not.

What are we gonna tell him?

Nothing.

They interrogated
her all night long.

She can take it.
She's a strong girl.

What the hell happened, Boris?

Victor went to the
CIA? It makes no sense.

That wasn't the plan, but
don't worry, we are...

It's not for him I'm worrying.

I'm worrying for my child.

Who will look after her?

The night you and I broke
up, I took a taxi home.

When we arrived,
I asked the driver

to let me stay in
the car for a minute.

Our song, "Temptation,"
was playing on the radio.

I felt it was a sign.

Just the sign I needed
to make up my mind.

I asked the driver to
take me back there.

By the time we got back,
you had already left.

I always wondered how
my life would have been

if I had found you there.

Boris, we made a
promise to each other.

I kept my word and
gave you Victor.

It's your turn now.

Only you can save
my child. Please!

How could I refuse you?

But you will have to help me.

I almost feel sorry for them.

Really? What for?
Look at this villa.

I feel more sorry for myself.

What's she doing?

- Has she lost it?
- What? That's Godeanu's clothes.

What the hell?

- Is that petrol?
- What the hell is this?

No, stop!

Comrade Godeanu, don't!

What the... Comrade
Godeanu, please!

What the...?

Comrade Godeanu, please,
there's really no need...

No, Comrade Godeanu.

- Don't set fire to things, please.
- Shove off!

Get her daughter. She's lost
it! Comrade Godeanu, please!

Miss Godeanu!

Where are you?

Please.

- I can't find her.
- Try in the back! Go!

One-one-five here. Adela
Godeanu's gone nuts.

We can't find her daughter to
calm her down. Send someone.

- Did you get the tape to her?
- We're working on it.

- Is she okay?
- We think so.

BND just brought these
out of Omar's apartment.

Jabare Hassan.

You know the guy?

First met him in Egypt.

He came to Bucharest first
as a courier, then to train.

What's his deal?

He was a teacher,
studied law, very smart.

Radicalized in 1971. He's
an efficient bomb maker.

- You think he's working with Omar?
- I think he's the mastermind.

We need to find him.

CAMP DAVID RADIO REPORT
DEAL BETWEN EGYPT AND ISRAEL

We have just been told the
peace talks at Camp David

mediated by President
Carter, cleared a big hurdle.

Egyptian President Sadat considered
leaving the talks altogether.

His change of heartis a
clear sign of renewed hope.

Sir? There's a phone
call for you. Thank you.

- Yes?
- It's time.

We do it tomorrow,
before it's too late.

The peace talks
cleared a big hurdle

and a deal between Egypt and
Israel is closer than ever.

Once you've extracted him,
take him to the secure site

- and deal with him there.
- I'll deal with him myself.

- You want to be there when...
- I will be, at the end.

To get your report fresh.

How the hell could
she disappear?

Comrade Nicolae Ceaușescu,
I am here to report.

We are interrogating everyone.

I solemnly promise we
will find the culprit.

She can't have vanished!

How the hell did no one see her?

Are you all a bunch of idiots?

Arrest them all! Make
the borders airtight!

No train, no car, no plane leaves
without being checked through!

Out!

Check this one.

All clear.

Against the principles
of 242, but all in all,

the Camp David peace talks seem
to be hurtling towards a success.

Excuse me. My car won't start.

But I need to cross. It's
an urgent family matter.

Your passport, please.

Your passport is expired.

That can't be. Can you
please check again?

I'm sorry, I can't
let you through.

Stop her!

Put your guns down!

Freeze!

It's all right. I'm unarmed!

Tell your West German friends
to put their guns down!

I have family in East Germany!
