Phillip Allen will be heading the agency. Richard Hayes will be his exec.
And you'll be taking Division C,
special operations that report only to the Director.
It would be limited to overseas, obviously.
Subversive operations, intelligence gathering and analysis.
And I'd be interested in your thoughts about this.
Particularly in your area of expertise, counterintelligence.
I'd be glad to help in any way I can.
That's all right.
Edward, go outside.
Excuse me, sir. Margaret!
Come on, Edward.
Come. Let's go outside, all right? Daddy's busy.
Thank you.
I have to tell you, I have some real problems with this whole thing,
despite how much we need it.
I'm concerned that too much power will end up in the hands of too few.
It's always in somebody's best interest to promote enemies, real or imagined.
I see this as America's eyes and ears. I don't want it to become its heart and soul.
So I told the President, for this to work,
there's gonna have to be some kind of civilian oversight.
Oversight?
How can you have a covert organization
if you have people looking over your shoulder?
You know who gave Hitler his power? The clerks and the bookkeepers.
The civil servants.
I have this one weakness.
I believe in a just God.
I always seem to err on the side of democracy.
This must be a nice place to raise a family.
I never made the time.
I'll be dead in less than a year.
I love this country.
We all do, sir. We all do.
No matter what anyone tells you, there'll be no one you can really trust.
I'm afraid when all is said and done, we're all just clerks, too.
I was under the impression that Dr. Ibanez supported a democracy.
ALLEN: I'm afraid he's changed his mind.
The doctor's started to believe his own propaganda.
I mean, you dreamed this guy up, Edward, helped get him elected.
ALLEN: Those are the Soviets.
International Department of Central Committee members
Trubnikov, Kushelnikov,
who have become overly interested in their natural resources,
particularly coffee.
Our economic interests are being compromised,
to say nothing of the dangers of a Soviet presence so close to home.
For security, Edward, we must establish our own presence there.
Wait, stop. Can you go back?
Go back a little bit.
Run it from there.
I just thought I saw something.
ALLEN: I want you two to put your heads together on this.
Michael will be going down there as an agricultural specialist
with the Mayan Coffee Company. Non-official.
He'll be our eyes and ears.
Congratulations. Thank you, sir.
Good luck. Thank you.
I wouldn't wear my class ring down there.
Yes, sir. Of course.
I want all intelligence on this sent directly to me and no one else.
ENTOMOLOGIST: I believe that's what you're looking for.
That'll do it.
(IBANEZ SPEAKING SPANISH)
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
Mr. Wilson? This came for you through the Carlson cover address.
There was no card.
There's been a potential compromise down south.
Ulysses.
We can't wait another 24 hours.
If you can guarantee that all assets are in place and prepared to move on my order,
I'm prepared to move as well.
Come back to bed.
EDWARD JR.: What were you talking about?
It's grown-up talk.
I had a nightmare.
Everything's fine.
Could you stay with me another minute?
Try to get some sleep.
Yes?
We haven't got time to be sure on this. This whole thing hinges on support.
If we don't have the support, I can't guarantee the outcome.
Can you guarantee the support?
That's not a guarantee. That's not an answer.
Do what you have to do. These men aren't ideological.
Put more in their Christmas stockings, and they'll fall into place.
Call the station chief. Get him out of bed.
Margaret tells us that you work with the CIA.
My wife has a vivid imagination.
I'm a trade advisor. A civil servant.
Good night. Good night.
How dare you speak to me that way?
You are never to tell anybody what I do.
How dare you? Those people are my friends! I don't have a lot of friends!
You are never to tell anyone what it is I do. Never. Do you understand me?
What you do? What you do? I don't know what you do!
You leave at five, you're home at ten, seven days a week.
You don't say a damn word to me!
I live with a ghost! I don't know what you do!
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Call back.
They're ready. Launch the operation.
Say something.
I have to go now.
Say something! Talk to me! Say something!
Look at me. Say something.

Remember what I said. Don't touch anything. All right?
Merry Christmas, Margaret. Edward. Merry Christmas.
Is this young Edward?
Would you like to come inside and meet our very special guest this evening?
Santa Claus.
TODDY: Would you like to meet Santa? ALLEN: Yeah.
Come along.
Toddy is wonderful with children. Yes, she is.
Come and meet Santa.
Would you like a drink, Edward? Thank you.
I believe congratulations are in order.
The doctor has no more patients because of malpractice.
Gentlemen. Edward.
(CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING)
Phillip.
Bill.
Gentlemen,
you can all be very proud of what you've started.
Merry Christmas.
ALLEN: Merry Christmas, Bill. EDWARD: Merry Christmas.
Christmas is full of surprises.
Do you like surprises under the tree?
Well, we'll make sure you have lots of surprises
and things like that. Okay?
I'm sure Mom and Dad agree that that would be a good idea.
Surprises are the best part of Christmas, don't you think?
How about games?
How about ball games?
WOMAN: Can I get you a towel? CLOVER: I'm so sorry.
Are you all right?
All right. It's all right.
Can you take me home, please?
I think we should go home. Lower your voice.
You can use our bath if you'd like. I might have some dry clothes.
Thank you. Come with me, Edward. It's all right. Come with me.
Can I help you up, Mrs. Wilson?

Did you know that Phillip is going to be
on the Mayan Coffee Company's board of directors?
Remember what I said to you about friends.
You look good, Edward.
How long has it been? Seven, eight years?
A lot of water under the bridge.
Carolyn and I, we just bought our first house.
And everything's already broken. I spend my weekends fixing things.
By the time I get everything fixed, it'll be time to sell the fucking house.
Maybe you can give me a heads-up on somebody.
You're asking me to give you FBI files on an American citizen?
You know I can't do that. It's against the law to spy on citizens.
Keep it.
Maybe someday you'll change your mind.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
May I come in?
You know, I've never been in your office.
How was the fishing?
It was a bad year. The water is too high.
I understand you wanted to
personally give me the Operation Zapata list yourself.
There isn't one, is there?
You know it was a silent operation.
It wasn't silent enough.
I've been asked by the President to suggest who we no longer need with us.
Who would you recommend, Edward?
I serve at the pleasure of the Director, sir.
I'm just a gatekeeper.
And why is it that people like us choose to serve,
for nickels a day, in a profession that makes us
constantly look over our shoulder to see who's watching us?
When will you make your decision?
Decision?
I serve at the discretion of the President of the United States.
I will do what I think is best for the country.
It's important that we find out who's responsible.
Good night. Good night.
MAN: At 2242, call received on Berlin base chief's operational line.
Man says he's senior officer, KGB. Would not give name.
Open up. Thanks.
"KGB officer asks when Mr. Edward Wilson is coming.
"He wants to know Mr. Edward Wilson's response."
Tell him Mr. Edward Wilson is here,
and would like to know what he intends to provide us with in return.
He says, "In return for safe journey,
"he will provide Mr. Wilson with clear understanding
"of last three losses in Moscow
"and identities of Soviet agents in your country,
"penetrations of Moscow station.
"He will also speak personally with Mr. Edward Wilson about
"Ulysses.
"Things only he knows of Ulysses,
"how he thinks, what he plans to do,
"and what he wants Mr. Edward Wilson to think he is doing.
"To establish bonafides, he will carry with him
"KGB surveillance photographs of all CIA officers in Moscow
"and would be more than happy to take polygraph."
Ulysses.
Ask him what his weakness is.
"The cold."
Let's get him over here.
My name is Valentin Gregorievich Mironov.
My children's names are Anatoly and Sergei.
My father played the cello. I play the violin. But you know this.
I risk my life to come all the way to tell you this, to confirm what you already know.
You failed the polygraph, Mr. Mironov.
You know every Russian fails polygraph.
Your polygraph doesn't understand the Russian soul.
What more do you want? I've given you my bonafides, the names of agents,
who has been compromised, who you need to know about.
I want to speak to Mr. Edward Wilson.
We were told Mironov was with these men the day the photo was taken.
BROCCO: Your immediate superior?
We're not even sure that any of the circled men are him.
I told you this three times already. Sergei Budanov.
I want to speak to Mr. Edward Wilson.
I would like some tea.
There isn't any.
I get thirsty when I say too much.
You going to keep up this inane questioning for much longer?
There's nothing you've told us we don't know, Mr. Mironov.
I think you better try a little harder.
I didn't come here to deal with children, Mr. Edison.
Or is it Mr. Brocco?
We do our homework, too.
Hello, Mr. Mironov. I'm Mr. Wilson.
Hello, Mother.
Ulysses is obsessed with you. Night and day, you are always on his mind.
He trusts nobody.
The only one whom he lets close is his aide, Sasha.
He is methodical, he plans things years in advance.
For instance, you should know he has developed a friendship
with a certain neighbor of yours.
Fidel Castro. A young man he has high hopes for.
I understand you had a most interesting fish swim your way.
Mr. Allen thought it might be possible for me to speak with him.
With you as the chaperone, of course.
I brought him a little gift I'm sure he'll appreciate.
Send Mironov in immediately.
It'll be nice to be closely working with you again.
I expect you to show me Washington. We can paint the town red together.
Valentin Mironov, Arch Cummings.
It is a great pleasure to meet you. My pleasure.
Now, please sit down.
It's nice to have someone like you on our side of the street.
I thought you may enjoy this.
It's something you might appreciate. I hope you haven't read it.
Very clever.
Thank you.
All Russia is our orchard.
The land is great and beautiful.
There are many wonderful places in it.
Think, Anya.
Your grandfather, your great-grandfather.. .
This is a very bad translation. It is much funnier in Russian.
ACTOR: And now, doesn't something human look at you
from every cherry in the orchard?
From every leaf and every stalk?
Don't you hear their voices?
It's awful. Your orchard is terrible!
And when in the evening or at night, when you walk through the orchard
and the old bark glows with the dim light
and the old cherry trees seem to be dreaming of all that was
a hundred, two hundred years ago, and are repressed by their heavy visions.
I'm due at a meeting.
We've left those 200 years behind us, but so far, we gained nothing at all.
We don't yet know what the past is to be to us.
We only philosophize. We complain that we are dull, or we drink vodka.
For it's so clear that in order to begin to live in the present,
we must first redeem the past.
MAN: Are you Laura?
What?
Are you Laura? I'm supposed to offer you a ride.
Hello, Edward.
Hello, Laura.
Why all the mystery?
Do you have children?
I have a boy.
Edward Junior.
Do you have anybody?
A cat.
I've often imagined what my life would have been like with you.
And what did you imagine?
I thought you might teach.
Probably poetry.
I saw us living in a small college town.
You once said to me you were afraid your life was already planned out for you.
Are you doing what you want to do?
My life has been full of surprises.
You owe me a day at the beach.
How long do you think you'll be?
As long as it takes.
I think maybe I'll go ahead. All right.

MAN ON RADIO: In an unprecedented effort to improve U.S .-Soviet ties,
Premier Khrushchev began his 10-day tour of the United States today.
The visit will start with a tour by President Eisenhower
of our nation's capital,
followed by a highly anticipated speech at the United Nations.
All right, now set it down.
Following that, the Soviet Premier will travel across the country
to more casual destinations,
including America's mighty steel mills, wheat farms, and, yes, Disneyland.
President Eisenhower greeted Mr. Khrushchev this morning
at Andrews Air Force Base, as they prepare to discuss.. .
It's perfect.
.. .the ever-threatening military build-up by the Reds.
Our glee club's been chosen to compete in a national competition.
Now, back to The Classical Hour.
Would you come with me?
Would you like me to?
Yeah, very much.
I'll get your things.
It's good to have you home.
(SINGING OH, SHENANDO AH)
How was your trip?
Smooth as silk.
My FBI escort made the trip here very pleasant.
Which one is your son?
Top row, third from the right.
He's a handsome young man. My congratulations.
We're particularly concerned about Cuba.
Your friend,
he's too close to home.
You don't appreciate him breathing down your neck.
If we continue down this road,
there will be a Third World War.
I don't think either of us wants a real war.
What would we do for a living then?
If he keeps calling attention to himself,
at some point, we may be forced to send him a surprise.
Now, I don't want that to come as a surprise to your people.
He is very important to us.
We would not like to be surprised.
Be well.
I am today announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of the United States.
The Presidency is the most powerful office in the free world.
Through its leadership can come a more vital life for all of our people.
In it are centered the hopes of the globe around us, for freedom

We have a secure circuit with Stockholm station.
Station reports they have a colonel, Directorate K, counterintelligence.
Do we have a name?
FIELD OFFICER: May I help you, sir?
VALENTIN 2: I'm a colonel with KGB. I'm requesting asylum.
What is your name?
My name is Valentin Gregorievich Mironov.
This other man who says he is Valentin Mironov
is not who he pretends to be.
All right? His real name is Yuri Modin.
VALENTIN 2: He was Ulysses' right hand. He is Ulysses' mole.
BROCCO: Just tell me your real name.
It is just Ulysses trying to discredit me.
Just tell me your real name.
My real name is Valentin Gregorievich Mironov.
I was born in Bobruisk in 1924.
Attended the State Institute of International Relations.
Served for three years in Naval Intelligence.
My wife's name is Tamara Markovskaya.
My children's names are Anatoly and Sergei.
VALENTIN 2: My father is a cellist. I play the violin.
All I want is my freedom.
BROCCO: Pick him up.
You all right?
I'm sorry. You see what you made me do?
Now just tell me the truth.
Because we're going to be here as long as it takes.
I already told you the truth. I want to know the truth.
You know my name. Tell me your real name.
Mister, please, I'm not lying.
I'd like to believe you, but I don't believe you. Understand?
Now, tell me your name.
My name is Mironov. It's Valentin Gregorievich Mironov.
That's your name? Yeah.
That's your real name. Yes. This is my name.
Tell me your name. I told you my name.
I told you a hundred times.
We're not going anywhere. I just want you to know that.
We are not going anywhere. Today, tomorrow, next week, next month.
Yuri Modin. He is your mole. I am not your mole.
You understand? I cannot tell you anything else.
I'm gonna be right in front of you. The same position.
This is my name. What is your name?
My name is Valentin Gregorievich Mironov. This is my name.
Tell me your name.
I don't have a different name.
Tell it. I don't have it.
Tell it to me again. This is my name.
Valentin Gregorievich Mironov. Tell it to me again.
Valentin Gregorievich.. . Tell me your fucking name!

Valentin Gregorievich Mironov! We are gonna be here a long time.

Tell me your name!
Tell me your fucking name!
Tell me your name! Tell me your name!
Come on, tear it off. Get it off!

Your name.
What is your name?
Tell me your name.

What is your name?
Sir, this is lysergic acid diethylamide.
It's called LSD.

(SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN)
Look, it's him. Papa.
Soviet power is a myth.
A great show,
but there are no spare parts. Nothing is working.
It's nothing but painted rust.
But you.
You need to keep the Russian myth alive
to maintain your military-industrial complex.
Your system depends on Russia being perceived as a mortal threat.
It's not a threat.
It was never a threat. It will never be a threat.
It is
a rotted,
bloated
cow.
I am
Valentin Gregorievich Mironov
and I am free.
Shit. Shit!
If you would like,
I'll be willing to take the truth serum, Edward.
I've nothing to hide.
I am who I say I am.
I know.
MAN: We send those who are leaving us to go into the world

I didn't know you smoked.
There are a few things you don't know about me.
I've spoken to a recruiter here.
I would like very much to join CIA.
There are a lot of things you can do, Edward.
I'd like you to think about this very carefully.
I have thought about it carefully. It's what I want to do.
I want to join the Agency.
I want to make you proud of me.
I am proud of you.
I've made up my mind, Father.
CLO VER: You can stop him.
He doesn't understand what he's getting into. You can stop him.
I can't tell him what to do. Yes, you can.
No, I can't. Yes, you can.
Because he's doing it for you.
Because he wants you to be proud of him. And he wants to feel closer to you.
You could have them reject him.
Absolutely not. I won't do that to him.
Of course you won't. You wouldn't do anything for anybody but yourself.
That is unfair. Unfair?
That is unfair.
You abandon the people when they need you the most.
I don't abandon people!
You abandon people! I do not abandon people.
It's true.
I have stood by you for 22 years! Stood by me?
I have stood by you.
You don't know what it is to stand by somebody.
I stood by you and I have stood by him,
I have done everything to be a good father to him.
You have done no such thing! I married you because of him!
I know you don't love me, but you love him.
And no matter what, you should stand by him and you should protect him.
I don't need you to tell me I have to protect my son.
Promise me that you'll protect him.
I'll protect him.
NEWSCASTER: Today, in Havana, Fidel Castro
expelled high-profile crime figures from Cuba.
He's taken control of their hotels and casinos,

Castro has nationalized over $1 billion

and there's no telling what the Communist dictator might do next.
I want to see a man about a hat.

His people know how to be discreet.
With the right encouragement, he could help. And he's very patriotic.

Come on, kids. Come on, come on. We're going to the beach. Let's go.
BOY: Mom, please.
Sit down. Want some water, some coffee, whatever?
Is there someplace else we could go?
All right, Daddy, we're going down to the beach. We'll be back in a while.
Make sure they don't go into the water unless somebody's watching them.
No, I'm gonna let them drown.
Make sure they put their shoes on. They'll burn their feet!
We're getting their shoes! All right, come on. Let's go.
So, what do you want to talk to me about?
The government's about to deport you for certain activities.
I've been in this country since I'm two months old.
What does that make me, Italian? I'm American.
And they're trying to send me back?
I could have the deportation order reviewed.
Have you classified as highly sensitive for national security.
I could take the government off your back if you can help us.
Youse are the guys that scare me.
You're the people that make big wars.
No, we make sure the wars are small ones, Mr. Palmi.
Let me ask you something.
We Italians, we got our families and we got the Church.
The Irish, they have their homeland. The Jews, their tradition.
Even the niggers, they got their music.
What about you people, Mr. Carlson? What do you have?
The United States of America. The rest of you are just visiting.
ALLEN: The President wants the noise level on the operation turned down.
How many men are involved?
EDWARD: Fifteen hundred.
Tell him we're going instead to Bahia de Cochinos.
The noise level will be way down.
We'll see you inside.
Could you hear what we were talking about?
No, I didn't hear anything.
If something was heard, it has to stay in this room.
Oh, I know that, Father.
Yeah, all right.
Bonesmen!
ALL: All here!
Reverend Christiansen will offer grace.
Agency first, God second.
REVEREND CHRISTIANSEN: Thank you, Lord, for bringing us safely here

OFFICER: Based on the ringing of the church bells,
we're going to assume the recording was made
at the same time the photograph was taken.
We've checked the schedules for flights leaving major airports
at or around 10:00 at night for a two-week period.
There were flights leaving nine cities.
Six were places that also would potentially have a fan made in Belgium.
Five of those places were also either tropical or in their summer seasons.
Three of those were places where French is spoken.
We think the tape was made in either Dakar, Abidjan,
or Congo-Leo.

It is all gone.
Hello, Mother.
Let me show you.
As you see, no cameras, no tape recorders.
There is nothing else to know.
Can I play something for you?
EDWARD JR.: Everything is a secret.
WOMAN: You were brought up on secrets.
What was such a big secret that his own son couldn't know?
EDWARD JR.: When he was standing outside talking,
I'd heard something I wasn't supposed to,
and he knew I'd listened to his conversation.
I heard them say something in Spanish.
Bahia de Cochinos.
WOMAN: Bahia de Cochinos.
EDWARD JR.: I'm afraid of him.
WOMAN: You are safe here with me.
People who really love each other don't have secrets.
I have something to tell you.
EDWARD JR.: I love you so much.
She's been an active asset of ours for some time.
Until now.
She loves your son.
Sometimes even spies fall in love.
We can protect him.
Make him safe.
Nobody would know, not even him.
All it would require is for you
to help us
when your help is needed.
I thought you'd like to see this.
She's a very pretty girl.
It's easy to see why he fell for her.
I know it's an extremely difficult situation for you.
But I'm afraid I'm going to need your answer very soon.
You must decide
what is of more importance to you.
Your country or.. .
Or your son.
She's not who you think she is.
She's not a friendly, Edward.
I don't believe you.
Why should I believe you?
You told me yourself not to trust anybody.
You're the master at creating the truth.
I love her.
I've asked her to marry me.
I will not let you take that away from me.
I can't protect you anymore, I can't keep you safe.
Safe?
Safe? I never felt safe.
I was always frightened.
I always lived in fear that something awful was going to happen to you.
Or if not, to Mother or to me.
I was always afraid, because everything was a secret.
Edward.
Hello, may I come in? Yes. Of course.
Is everything all right?
I was on my way home from work
and I had this overwhelming desire to hear you play the violin.
Play the violin? But.. .
Edward, I'm so tired. Can't this wait until tomorrow?
I'd appreciate it if you'd play it now.
Now?
I just wanted to hear something from you that was true.
ARCH: He was careless.
FBI. You're under arrest. Stand up.
Didn't learn how to hide in plain sight.
Where are they taking me?
I can't go home! You know they can't trust me anymore!
You know what they will do to me!
Sorry, Edward.
ARCH: I truly did like you.
I mean it. In another world, we actually would have been quite good friends.
Are you still there, Mother?
Your worst fear has come true.
EDWARD: Alone and friendless
without a country of your own.
(CHILDREN SINGING HE'S GO T THE WHOLE WORLD)
We have a whole new place to fight over.
The stars.
Your offer.
I have to decline.
You've succeeded in stopping us from taking back Cuba.
The damage is done.
There's no need for you to hurt my son.
Let's just leave it between you and me.
Very well.
I will wait.
But there will come a time
when I will ask you to help me with a problem
that wouldn't cost you much but be of some value to me.
You never know what the future will bring.
Friends can be enemies, and enemies friends.
This girl,
neither of us can be sure about her.
But she's about to be a part of your family.
I believe in family.
You want her to be a part of your family,
don't you?
It was good to see you.
We will talk again, my dear friend.
(SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN)
Sorry to bother.
I want to buy a little souvenir to my daughter. They have no change.
What does it cost?
It costs a dollar.
Here. It's a gift. Regards from the United States government.
It's a cardinal rule to be generous in a democracy.
Thank you.
CLO VER: So where is she?
We're gonna meet her at the church.
I can't wait to meet her. You'll love her. You're gonna love her.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Yes, that's good.
Come on in.

To your happiness.
(CHURCH BELLS TOLLING)
Your wife.. .
What have you done?
Will you go inside, Mother?
Go inside, Mom.
Please, just go in the church.
She's pregnant.
(CLOVER CRYING)
You couldn't.. . You couldn't have.
You couldn't. No.
I love you.
I love you so much.
HAYES: Mr. Wilson? EDWARD: Mr. Hayes.
Have you been here before, Mother? No, I haven't.
Whose idea was that?
It's classified.
Mr. Allen has notified the President he'll resign.
Something about Swiss bank accounts.
ALLEN: Where did these come from?
They were in the car. I thought you had them sent down, sir.
HAYES: Seems the greedy bastard has been hiding money away for years.
Whoever had the statements sent them to him in a box of Swiss chocolates.
It wasn't you, was it?
The President's asked me to become Director
and do a complete housecleaning at my discretion.
I need someone I can trust.
After all, we're still brothers.
This building doesn't get built without you.
You're CIA's heart and soul.
Who knows, you might have a secret about me in that safe of yours.
This whole wing will be your part of the world. Counterintelligence.
Take a look around. I've got an oversight meeting.
Can you imagine? They think they can look into our closet.
As if we'll let them.
I remember a senator once asked me
when we talk about CIA, why we never use the word "the" in front of it.
And I asked him, "Do you put the word 'the' in front of God?"
EDWARD: "They are right what they say about me.
"I was weak. A coward.
"I compromised myself.
"My honor. My family. My country.
"I am ashamed of myself.
"To my wife, I am sorry I've done this to you.
"To my son,
"I hope you will grow to be a courageous man.
"A good husband. A good father.
"I hope whatever you decide to do, you lead a good, full life.
"I hope whatever your dreams may be come true.
"Your loving husband and father."
