I came to tell you the name of a Russian agent.
Do not speak Russian. I have to ask you to talk in English.

Imagine your are in Grozny, Olympic training
Soviet wrestler Chenkov Teodorovici, and a girl gymnast named Sasha.
It's for the first time they met, and
the only man on earth for him.

Within a month they were married.
And within a year, a child.
One month's more,
the child was back to the same hospital
sick ..
Within days after that the child suddenly was died.
Yes.
The child was died.
And, yes.
The child was buried.
But the Chernenko baby was alive
and became the property of another man.
A master spy who devised a greatest plan
that Russia could ever invent.
The plan to destroy America.
It had all started with an American named Lee Harvey Oswald.
In 1959
He went to Russia.
Three years later he returned home,
but the man who came back to America was in fact a Russian spy,
named Alek
On November 22, 1963,
Alek became the first success of the new program
and a hero of the Soviet Union.
The spy master was getting the go ahead, to create many more like Alek.
... scores of agents ..
males and females
which will be substitute Americans.
In an abandoned monastery, Chenkov and other children
learn English long before they learn Russian.
Drilled in idioms, phrases... idiosyncracies and behavior,
and ideology.
And by methods of through rigorous physical and psychological programs,
The spy master made was warriors that casts no doubt as about
their faith against him.
You're charming.
When is the good fairy coming?
No.
This is a true story without hope.
Chenkov was prepared to enter into American families.
There was an accident, the family died, and Chenkov was sent to America
to live a complete lie
And look forward to the attach from within day X.

Best of Orlov's stars.
And now I have the honor to launch the attack.
Excuse me.

Error on the president Matveyev death declartion was ..
was due to a temporary paralysis because of a spider toxin .
I have recruited you.
I felt that I lost you there in North Korea.
I can see how you were worried baout routine night Mike.
It's like a rookie, you should not fall in love.
That's why I told Orlov to take him.
By the way, how is Mike?
Orlov is dead.
That's good news.
You saved me the trouble.
to remove him by forces, do not ruin your CIA cover
See,
I want to quit in real life.
And I needed someone to blame.
So I am the a bad guy
And I'm the hero.
Congratulations, Ev.
You're about to become famous.
Confirmation is requested. Confirmation is requested.
Identity confirmed.
Ask permission to launch. Ask permission to launch.
Get down on the floor, now!
I said now.
The launch was canceled. The system reboots.
Show me your hands. Show me your hands.
What is your name, sir?
Ted Winter of the CIA Help the president!.
Mr. President, can you hear me?
- Aid is on the way - Make sure you have body bags
there are at least seven here.
She wears bullet proof vests .
I want alone in the room. There are other cases, I need to talk with her.
She would not speak, she is trained not to speak no matter what you do.
If I were to find the other of these, I gonna find them myself
Somebody already did
At least some of them. Along river East, there are 12 dead, including Orlov.
Who did this?
I do not know, forensics are dealing with it.
Step back, sir.
Step back. Please, step back
Sir, Sir! It's Ted, you better come up here.
Sit down.
She's yours for 15 minutes during the flight.
Then it is the FBI
Why did you kill him?
Because somebody had to
What?
Why do you always think that everybody is who they say they are?
You knew that something's wrong when Orlov entered the building.
So did I
Just do not know what it was.
Winter did it.
Winter?
You expect me to to believe that Winter is gonna launch some missile and that you've saved the world?
I'd like you to think so. Yeah, I did
Those are some very serious charges.
Well...
He is dead now, so he can't defend himself.
I guess we have to decide ourselves.
How many are there guys like you?
Like me?
None.
Like him?
More than you and I can handle alone.
Do you really think that a trained Soviet agent
could not kill the Russian president at point blank if she wanted to?
- Or you too, for that matter. - What?
I could kill you at the funeral, but I didn't
You surrendered to me, because I think you know ...
You know better.
I had a choice.
You know better.
Fingerprints place Salt on barge where Orlov was killed.
I do think I believe you ...
and if I to save you for a second time I would believe it
Nobody else would
Maybe you can think a way around that.
They took everything from me.
I'll kill them.
Bullshit!
We are approaching the Potomac, due south west
Go get them.
