I took care of it. I put it in the safe.
Honey, don't leave that kind of money just lying...
I want all those people outta here now!
- Give me the camera! - What's wrong?
- You crazy? Government secrets? - She didn't...
I don't care if she didn't believe you! Give me the camera!
$189 plus tax. I think we should split it.
What's this?
- Just coke. - When did this start?
- It's just coke. - Don't lie. When did this start?
- Are you my mother? - Don't lie! It's heroin!
I don't even shoot it up! I just snort it, OK?
How much?
Maybe a couple of hundred dollars a week. So what?
Courier is undependable.
Seek independent channel of communication.
- Near the harbour. - Near the harbour, yes. In Tokyo.
Well, I don't speak very much. First of all...
Hello. Daulton Lee, American Embassy.
OK. Hello. Daulton Lee, American Embassy.
- "De la Guinée." - New Guinea? Terrific.
Let me ask. Would this be considered formal clothing for your country
- or is this the average garb? - This... garbage.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Come to visit our country. - Excuse me. Excuse me.
I want to show you something.
- Why wasn't I invited here? - Just don't say a word.
- What did I tell you? - I waited for you...
What did I tell you? You never come to the embassy! Never!
How can I make it clearer to you? If nobody shows up, what do you do?
- Leave. - Leave!
- Where did you put the X? - Where do you think?
- There was no X. - There sure was! "You" screwed up!
Don't try to put the blame on me! The X was there!
- Which corner? - Juárez and Marroquí.
Peralta, Daulton. Juárez and Peralta.
Need I write it down for you?
Could I have another drink, please?
Relax, Mikhael. Here.
Have another drink.
Oh, about time, Mr Karpov!
Now, remember our figure. 30,000.
What's the matter? Too dark? Too light?
- You took these? - These were sent from the source.
I had no prior knowledge of this.
I have no idea how this happened, but I'm gonna find out, OK?
- This is outrageous! - Karpov...
Wait a minute, Mr Karpov. You want to know his name, right, Alex?
Christopher. Just like the saint. That oughta be worth something.
These are good, right? Good?
$500 apiece. Yes or no?
OK, I swear to God! No money, then that's it.
You'll never see me again.
All right, from now on I do my business with the Chinese.
They'll pay.
Do you carry a pistol?
No.
Maybe you should.
Let's see how this works. How does that fit?
- It's from Chris. - By George!
Oh, listen, thanks so much!
My golly! Will you look at this!
Where did you get this? You can't buy these in the United States.
- Peking! - Huh? Come on!
- I sent away for it in England. - This is so neat!
I taught you how to use one of these. You'd learn real fast.
Took him three years to get the nerve to take the fish off the hook!
I'll get it, I'll get it!
Chris, it's for you. It's Daulton.
Real bright calling me here.
Pardon me!
Lmagine you were drunk! Thought we'd get a kick out of it!
Remember who runs things and I won't have to remind you.
Runs what?
I've been up most of yesterday and today! I don't have much patience!
I had them hooked and you would've lost 'em...
- Bob. - Hey, hi.
- This is for you and your wife. - Really?
There's another in the car. Can you get it for me?
No problem. Thanks a lot for this. She'll really like it.
D-4. Wilke.
- Now the knee. - All right!
Perfect! Just perfect!
That's great! Yeah. Document Control.
- "NSA guy on his way up to see you." - What? Now?
- "Just issued him a pass so..." - Oh, God!
An NSA inspector's on his way over!
An NSA inspector's on his way over right now! Laurie!
Right behind you!
Come on, Chris! Let's go!
Come on! Move!
- Laurie, get the broom! - What broom?
- We don't have a broom? - I don't see one!
Where did you put the dope? Behind something?
No, right out in the open! Of course behind something!
We're never gonna make it!
We're dead! We're fucked!
- Is this your desk? - Yes, sir.
- What's this doing out? - I don't know.
- Chris, what's that doing out? - I don't know, sir. What is it?
- Who's the security custodian this week? - He is, sir.
- Secure it. - Yes, sir.
Christmas.
- Open it, please. - Yes, sir.
- Combination? - Yeah.
Open it.
That's... fine, gentlemen. Thank you.
What can you tell me about the Pyramider Project?
Thanks. Thanks, Eddie.
- Well? - It's a dead project.
It's abandoned. It didn't even reach the blueprint stage.
It's worthless garbage. It's bait.
You didn't bring it in, I didn't.
None of us saw anybody bring it in. It didn't get in here by itself.
Those bastards don't trust us.
OK.
OK, fine. Somebody wanna play games?
- That's fine with me! - Come on, Gene.
Darling, what on earth...?
I'm building us a house. It's in Costa Rica.
It's not started yet. It's in the architectural stage.
- But I bought the property. - Costa Rica?
The most beautiful stretch of beach you've ever seen!
4200 square feet, split-level, 5 bedrooms,
4 baths, sauna, Jacuzzi, aviary and an elevator down to the beach!
What's anyone gonna do in Costa Rica?
Fish, take long strolls on the beach, collect shells, relax.
Take it easy for once in your lives. You deserve it.
- They do that here. - David.
- Yeah? - "Daulton, this is Clay."
Let me get on the other phone, OK? David, can you hang this up?
- "Hello there." - "I got a buyer."
- "Five ounces - 8"5"00." - "Wait a minute, Clay. Five ounces?"
- "That's what you said. All set." - "Four ounces, I said, not five."
You go back to the bargaining table. You tell them it's their mistake...
Something else about this house. It's solar heated.
When in God's name is it gonna stop?
What?
I will not have dope deals made in this house!
- What dope deals? - When is it gonna stop?
I'm not dealing dope any more. I'm out of it.
You jumped bail, you disappeared! Probation people call us!
- The cops watch our house! - They do not!
- You missed Christmas by a week! - Wanna know what I was doing?
- You're not here an hour... - Want to know what I was doing?
- I was doing top secret! - Brad, please!
- I'm sick and tired... - Working for the government, CIA!
I was working for the CIA!
Me!
I don't know what I'm doin' any more. I'm trying!
- Don't worry. They'll get over it. - You've gotta make up for me.
You've gotta make them happy, make them proud!
Do you want me to drive?
- No drugs. That's the main thing. - You just ran a stop sign.
Don't break their hearts the way I have.
You do and I find out, I'll kill you, I swear!
Promise me.
I promise.
Do you love me?
Oh, shit!
Oh! I gotta lose these guys!
Get out, David! It's my problem. Run!
OK! Yeah!
Did he call yet?
Well, when he does,
tell him it's over.
I want out. It's gotta stop.
I've been thinking, too. I think it's time we diversify.
- Get a few subcontractors... - What did I just say?
I heard you. I agree with you. I think we "should" retire.
Get somebody else to do the roadwork. Pull the strings. Ike could be interested.
- Clay. Think Perry could handle it? - What about your little brother?
- David? - You'd do that to him! Drag him into it!
- This is a business! We gotta expand! - You're sick!
It's been nickels and dimes compared to the possibilities!
- Where are you going? - It's over, delivery boy!
- Hey, wait a minute... - Get outta the way! Outta the way!
- Get outta the way! - I Xeroxed everything!
Every cipher, every document! Yeah! Make you nervous?
Don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything with them as long as you're reasonable.
You don't believe me? Go! Go ahead! That's the quickest way to find out!
- Where are they? - In a safe place. In a safe place.
You're lying.
How about I give 'em to your father? How would that be?
Give 'em to the great FBI man! How would he feel?
A Soviet spy for a son!
This is my livelihood now! You can't just take this away from me!
Yes?
- "Do you have the merchandise?" - Yes, I do.
Is it better quality this time?
- My associate assures me it is. - "Is he there with you?"
No.
- You still there, Alex? - "You'll be delivering it, then?"
That is correct.
- The first Tuesday. - "Monday."
Monday.
I know it's a lot to ask - to work in silence for once!
Fuck! Fuck it!
Let's go out.
- What's wrong? - You tell me!
What's happening?
Tell me. Please tell me.
Come here.
I...
It's just the maid. Later, señora!
Tell her to come back later.
Hello.
Well, hello there.
Hello there. Come in.
Are you well?
I took a few days off. Called in sick. Need a vacation.
Well, great! Great!
Uh, Raul,
my best friend from California - Chris. Chris, Raul.
- Raul. - Hi.
- We're finished, yes? - Yes.
OK. I'll be right back, all right?
- Trouble? - No.
Look, just relax. I'm not trying to cut you out of the picture.
Really?
Secret little messages behind my back. Yeah!
Nice try, Judas.
- Well, you put me in that position. - Christopher.
Or should I call you Falcon?
- My name... - Alex.
- This your first time in Mexico? - Mexico City.
Daulton is showing you the more inspiring landmarks?
Yes.
You make a good tour guide, Daulton. I always knew it.
You know, you're not what I expected.
And you're not black.
- Pardon me? - It's a long story.
- Where are we going? - To dinner.
They'll ask about the frequencies, so don't trip me up.
I told him he'd get them next month.
The operation goes fine.
Unfortunately, one serious problem remains. Do you know what it is?
- The frequencies. - "Exactamente."
For anything to be worth anything, we must, as you know,
have the daily transmitting frequencies.
Well, that's not entirely true, as "you" know.
The fact is I can't get them. I don't have access to them.
He assured me that he could get them.
- No, I didn't. - Yes, you did!
They're not even kept at RTX.
Only Western Union and the NSA have the daily list.
Now, I never said I could get them and I can't.
You know these people, I assume.
- Most of them. - Good.
What I would like is that you write a little something about each one.
Their exact job titles to begin with.
- Where are you going? - Can I talk to you?
Sit down and shut up!
Also physical descriptions of each.
Height, weight and so on. Their home addresses if you know them.
And maybe some details about their families.
Drinking habits, religious habits.
Sexual deviations and so on.
None of those people will help you the way I've helped you.
- Are you trying to get me killed? - You shouldn't have promised.
You should've lied! They're not gonna stand for this!
Give these people what they want! They're watching us through this!
There's wires all over this place! It's all bugged!
I'm sick of this fucking hocus-pocus shit!
$10,000 right now or we're gone!
"Basura." Just like everything else.
Yeah? How would you know? I'm sick of talking to a goddamn clerk!
Get me an expert! Get me somebody who knows!
- You go back on every promise! - "I" go back?
- Where's the infrared data? - Where's the heroin?
- Where are the frequencies? - Fuck the frequencies!
- Sit down and shut up! - "You" sit down and shut up!
Karpov!
Call the great Karpov - every time you can't handle something! Call him!
Where's the bathroom in this fucking joint?
I am so curious about something, I have to ask.
How is it that you and Daulton... I mean, where do you know him from?
We were altar boys together.
Daulton doesn't know it yet, but I'm quitting RTX.
I've already given notice. I felt it only fair to tell you in person.
- That's why I'm down here. - What will you do?
Going back to school.
Well, he's... pretty sick. I'd better get him home.
No, no, don't go yet. He'll survive. He always does. Sit down. Please.
Leaving RTX and going to college
is a very good idea.
You should consider majoring in Russian Studies.
History, language, politics,
and then... think very seriously
about applying for a job in the State Department or the CIA.
Absolutely not!
You know, Christopher,
we're not unalike, you and I.
I, too, have had my doubts. I know what it does to a person.
I know what you're feeling.
What are you talking about? I'm not a professional like you.
This isn't a career for me. It was impulsive.
I never expected it to go on as long as it has.
I'm not like you. You have no idea what I'm feeling.
You want a mole in the CIA, you find somebody else.
I have a life apart from all this, unlike you.
You know, we waited a very long time to meet you.
We have put up with more than anyone should ever have to!
- You owe us. - Owe you?
Owe you?
Christopher, you remember one thing.
Impulsively or not,
you came to us. We didn't come to you.
And, whether you realise it or not,
you are a professional.
The moment you accepted money, you became a professional.
You can't leave here tonight free of it all any more than I can.
Did you really think you could?
It's not over, Christopher.
It's just beginning.
I cross the border a million times and I don't get caught!
Get busted on a felony and they let me go!
Everything you give me looks good, but it isn't. It is "basura!"
It is garbage! I'm not stupid, Chris. I read books.
- What are you talking about? - It's called disinformation.
- Counterespionage. - What?
You're backed by the Company. You're one of them!
The CIA's got a picture of Oswald and they've got one of me, too!
That's all part of the plan, so it's OK! It's OK!
So what happens next?
- You throw me to the wolves? - Look what that shit's doing to you!
- It's all that's keeping me sane! - It's killing you!
I don't know who my friends are! I don't know who to trust!
Don't throw me to the wolves!
Listen! Leave your bags behind!
We'll get on the plane and get outta here.
We'll go home.
Huh?
Come on, come on.
I'm OK.
Chris? Chris!
- What's going on? - I think I got everything.
You'd better double-check just to make sure.
- What are you doing? - I don't love you any more.
I want your things outta here tonight.
Chris.
It's been fun.
It's about time!
You gotta promise to come and see me the day after you graduate.
I want to make you the first offer.
No offence, Larry, but the pay's not too hot!
Come and see "us." We'll take care of you.
The Agency can't afford to let a guy like you get away.
Chris! Hold still!
It's about time! I've been stuck for the last time, Alex.
From now on, I set up the deals!
What's this? What's this? Oh, wanna play "this" game, huh? Huh?
- Alex, tell this guy to let go! - Shut up.
Tell him to let go of my arm!
Oh! Fuck!
Basura.
I don't need this shit. There's a lot easier ways of making a living.
I wanna make one last delivery.
What do you think? Do you think I'm making this up as I go along?
I'm not going down there any more.
I'm not asking you to. I'm gonna do it.
What?
They were just waiting the whole time. Stringing you along to get to me.
They don't need you or want you any more. They want me.
I'm through with running. I mean, the thrill is gone.
I'm gonna go to court, face the music, do time, whatever.
I'll just get a new start. I'm sick of this shit. I'm tired of it.
I'm tired, too. So tired I can hardly stand it.
I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder the rest of my life.
And for what? There's never gonna be any reconciliation.
They're just as paranoid and dangerous as we are.
I can't imagine why I thought they'd be any different.
Well, fuck them!
I'm gonna get something out of this nightmare.
They're gonna want this
and they are gonna pay!
- The frequencies? - Satellite.
Pyramider.
- How much are you gonna ask for it? - 100,000.
It's too dangerous.
I'm not gonna let you go down there.
Alex!
Alex! Hey!
Tell these guys to put their guns away!
Don't point that gun at me! Hey, come on!
- I'm an American tourist! - Tell me what's happening.
- Oh! I'm American! - Yes. Calm down. Slowly...
- I'm coming down the street, OK? - I'm with the American Embassy.
- You happened to be coming by? - Yes.
I got separated from my girlfriend.
- She's gone in this museum... - It's not a museum.
Leave this to me. Let me deal with the officials. Calm down.
Take your gun out of my ribs!
Are you the head guy? There's $500. It's yours. Forget the whole thing!
An American's been arrested. Get over to police HQ. I'll meet you there.
Like to know what I'm charged with, if you don't mind.
Christ!
I appreciate you coming down. It's just a stupid mistake...
- This is Walt Hamilton, Vice Consul. - Don't worry. We'll get you out of here.
Occupation?
Photographer. I work for an advertising agency.
That's a communications satellite.
My firm's doing promotional films for General Electric
to interest... investors.
- "Documentos." - Olympics, World Series.
That sort of thing.
- It's a postcard. - Bellas Artes.
You carry it as a trophy?
- You like to look at it? - It's a postcard.
Look, this is foolish.
If they're not gonna charge me, I'd like to get outta here.
- What's he saying? - They're charging you with murder.
You're kidding.
You've gotta be kidding!
- Cop killer. - I am not!
- "Comunista." - I am not!
- "Terrorista!" - No, I am a tourist.
I am a businessman. I am a Republican.
I have my rights! I am an American!
This is not America.
Hotel Camino Real. Buenas tardes.
I have a person-to-person call from the US for a Mr Theodore Lovelance.
Mr Lovelance? Yes, he is in Room 122. I'll ring. Please hold the line.
- "Hello?" - "Mr Lovelance?"
- "Who's calling, please?" - "Is Mr Lovelance there?"
No, he isn't, operator. Who's placing this call, please?
Sir? Would you like to leave a message?
Mr Lovelance doesn't seem to be in.
Would you like to leave a message or try back later?
I'm sorry, sir. That London flight is booked. Try stand-by or I can book...
No. Try Buenos Aires at 4 o'clock.
- Buenos Aires? - Right.
Checking, sir.
"Final boarding call for Pan Am flight" 55"1"
to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.
"Pan Am flight" 55"1 to Rio de Janeiro" and Buenos Aires
now boarding.
Who gave you the assignment to kill the policeman?
I didn't kill anybody.
- Who do you work for? - The United States government.
Fuck off!
- Who do you work for? - The CIA.
- I can't read this. I don't speak Spanish. - Your confession.
Sign it.
I'm not a communist!
I'm telling you the truth! You got the wrong guy! Stop!
I'm not an assassin! I'm just a spy!
You fuck with us, you accept the consequences!
College boys running things!
Uh-uh.
Never!
Listening! Listening!
Where are the wires?
We're deporting you.
You have your choice of destination.
- Costa Rica. - The Soviet Union or the United States?
America.
Lana.
The FBI's gonna come around asking questions.
There'll be all kinds of stories being told. They'll try to implicate you.
There'll be stories, lies. You won't know who to believe.
And that's the look that'll tell 'em you had nothing to do with it.
With what?
I love you... and I always did.
Adiós, amigo.
Now, you get out. You just go.
You're free.
- Up, shit-heels! Get up! - Lose the bag!
- Put your hands up!
Put your hands up or I'll blow your head off!
You fuckin' traitor!
All right, let's get him outta here.
July 29th 1974, you signed a security agreement that you would not transmit
classified information to any unauthorised person or agency.
Correct.
You were told that such a violation
could be punishable under Federal Criminal Statutes.
Correct.
Have you, in fact, violated that agreement?
You bet.
Did you remove NSA ciphers from the communications room?
Ciphers, Pilot TWXs, Argus, Rhyolite data,
ground resolution studies, performance sheets.
Pyramider - useless and obsolete.
Whatever happened to be lying around that day.
- Keystone Kops. - What?
Security at RTX. Keystone Kops.
How long have you been an agent for the KGB?
I've never been an agent for the KGB. I work for no one but myself.
I'm in no political organisations other than the Democratic Party.
How much money did you receive?
Personally, or...?
About $20,000. Money's never been real important to me.
You referred to CIA activities unrelated to the satellites.
Could you be more specific?
I haven't mentioned a word about the CIA,
but I could be very specific.
What was your control agent's name?
What? I'm sorry. What?
We can continue later if you're too tired.
No, I'm fine. I just didn't hear your question.
Who did you receive your instructions from?
My conscience.
I know a few things about predatory behaviour.
What was once a legitimate intelligence-gathering agency
is now being misused to prey on weaker governments.
We ran out.
I appreciate fear.
The chance to face it.
There's nothing more exhilarating than confronting your fears.
What are you afraid of?
Of people who can imagine and create sophisticated weaponry
and a government that can't be trusted with it.
We're the only nation that ever used atomic weapons on other human beings.
We "are" capable of it.
By turning over US secrets to the Soviet Union
you're putting every man, woman and child here in jeopardy.
They're already in jeopardy.
There are other forms of protest.
Are you sorry you didn't choose one of them?
Chris.
What?
You don't feel you hurt anybody?
The government's worried, Charlie.
This case could cause serious political damage.
There's debate now
whether prosecution is worth the disclosures that might arise in a trial.
So Chris holds the kind of cards that could save himself.
- Daddy... - Eric! Eric, I'll fix that for you.
Charlie, all of us realise that this situation
could just as easily have happened to us,
with one of our boys.
And we all want you to know that, with your OK,
we'll do whatever we can to see that this case never reaches a courtroom.
Two of my boys came home today from school bloody.
Teacher just stood around and watched some kids beat 'em up.
Do you know what they called them?
Do you know what they called my sons?
Communists.
Charlie, do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?
I don't think anybody
should do anything to influence this case in any way.
Let him be judged.
Christopher! Christopher! What do you think of your sentence?
- Do you plan to appeal? - Do you think you got a fair trial?
Stand back!
Do you feel any remorse?
You guys still talk to each other?
