[IN ENGLISH] Yes, Mrs. Calloway?
There are two gentlemen here for Mr. Scott. They insist on seeing him.
Here they are.
Captain Scott? Fielding Scott?
Yes?
How can I help you?
We'd like you to come with us, sir.
MAN: Straight ahead, sir.
They're expecting you.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Hello?
Hello, I'm...
Mr. Scott, I assume.
The Chairman is expecting you.
Take the lift.
Green button.
Thank you.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, Fielding Scott, very good to see you.
It's been a while. How do you do, sir?
Got some interesting news for you.
I'm sure you have.
SCOTT: So the case is closed?
Well, not formally.
But it will be. You have my word.
But they've decided to give you a chance to prove your zeal.
A kind of vindication.
What do I have to do?
Community service?
No. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Go back to Berlin.
I'm afraid you don't have an option.
You could be in prison.
You killed a British agent.
I was defending myself.
Simon Haldane tried to kill me.
And now we're inviting you back.
The Haldane business was clearly some sort of massive cock-up.
Tangle of crossed wires.
You're an asset to us, Scott.
We need you back in Berlin.
Do you know him?Yes.
Manfred Ziegler.
A German friend from childhood.
He used to stay with our family before the war.
He's working with the Russians on their space program.
He's developed this new guidance system
for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
It's revolutionary, apparently.
What's this got to do with me?
He wants to defect.
And he made this clear, and he said he'll only come over if you're there.
He wants you, Fielding Scott, to arrange everything.
One condition.
I will go to Berlin.
I'll meet Manfred. I'll do your negotiating.
But afterwards...
my case must be closed.
Officially.
[MAN ON TV IN GERMAN]

[PHONE RINGING]
[IN ENGLISH] Good morning, Mr. Scott.Morning, Elisa.
Mr. Petrie wants to see you in his office.
Tell him I'll be 10 minutes.
I believe he wants to see you now.
All right. I'll be right there.
How was your weekend? Was it fun?Unexceptional.
[PHONE RINGING OUTSIDE]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hmm.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Come.
You wanted to see me?
Yes, I was wanting a status report.
I wasn't aware I had to give you a status report.
Well, Scott, as I'm head of station,
I like to know what's going on in my station.
As you've been seconded here, you work for me.
For me.
You understand?
I'll make sure you're informed.Good.
So inform me.
What's happening with Beethoven?
It's been rather hard to organize.Yes, that's what I mean.
I should be in possession of this information, and I'm not.
I'll make sure you are in the future.
May I ask you a question?
Yes, of course.
Why are we involving the Americans and French?
Well, it's a trial.
A joint operation, for once.
Show of solidarity, all that.
Could be useful. Three heads... better than one working together.
More efficient... in theory.
Well, we are allies, I suppose.
I should go.
By the way.
Simon Haldane was a good friend of mine.
Really?
That's very interesting.
Why did you kill him?
Because he tried to kill me.
I was defending myself.
That's completely impossible.
Everyone's saying that, but I was there, you see.
So I know what actually happened.
There's a more interesting question no one seems to ask.
Which is?
Why did Simon Haldane try and kill me?
Any ideas?
No.
Didn't think so.
I will find the answer to that question.
One day.

Manfred.

Fielding.
Thank God, you're here.
I can hardly believe it.
Now I feel this may actually happen.
I'd like to shake your hand but...
Stasi today.
Some days they follow me, some days not.
You brought Traudel and Birgit along.
Traudel is worried sick.
Maybe you can calm her a bit.
Don't worry. I'm here to make everything possible.
You can relax now.
It's impossible. I'm afraid.
Meet me behind that building in two minutes.
Two minutes.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[IN GERMAN]
MANFRED: [IN ENGLISH] Wewould've just come overor got the S-Bahn...
SCOTT: I know.
They really want this thing you've developed.Yes.
They want you and your magical machine, whatever it is.
What is it?
It's an inertial navigation system.
A fluid suspended gyro-stabilized platform, to be precise.
Too precise for me.Yes.
Anyway,
each week I took a componentand brought it to my apartment.
It won't take much longer until they find out.
I can put it all together,
but it's very fragile, very delicate.
How big is it?
It can fit in two trunks, you know, like cabin trunks.
Everything has to be very carefully packed.
The fragility is incredible.
Without the physical components, I can't recreate the platform.
That is the problem.
What exactly does your famous fluid suspended gyro...
thingy do?It gives a missile incredible accuracy.
To within a few meters.
So if you were to land on the moon...
Or drop an atomic warhead on a city?
Yes.Or shoot a bomber from the sky?
Exactly.
Nothing has this precision.
Nothing until now.
Well, I can see why you're so popular.
Can you do it?
It's a problem we can solve.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
So good you have come.
Can you do this job with no risk?
We try to eliminate risk.
We have much experience.
They watch us, you know? If they catch us, it would be terrible.
Terrible for us all.They're not going to catch you.
I promise.
[IN GERMAN]
[IN ENGLISH] There's lots more where that came from.
You can never be too careful.
Fielding, I think maybe...Yes, yes... I should go...
Get out of this suit.
You're not reallya diplomat, are you?
What are you, some kind of spy?
I'm a diplomat.
Just with very good associates.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[IN GERMAN]
[DOOR OPENS]
[IN ENGLISH] Sorry about this.Your name wasn't on the diplomatic list.
Stupid error.
They called to check. I came as soon as I could.
This is Herr Hempel.
He's been helpful with the paperwork.
[IN GERMAN] Thank you.[IN ENGLISH] My pleasure, Mr. Scott.
This shouldn't happen again.
Thanks a lot.Gentlemen...
Who is he?
A detective.
We needed police authorization for a handover.
They wouldn't justgive you to me.That's good to know.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Morning, George.Morning.
Any news on Beethoven?Getting there. Tea?
Please. Petrie's getting a bit obsessed.
God, is he? Is he joining us?
You bet. Wouldn't miss it.
Talk of the devil.Scott, Brotherton.
Saw the CIA coming up the stairs.
Are they happy?Well, let's just get Beethoven out.
Then we can all be happy.
DUNN: Morning, gentlemen.PETRIE: Hmm.
PETRIE: Torrance. Greetings. You know these two I think.
This is Conrad Greer, arrived last week.As far as anyone knows.
Fielding Scott, as I live and breathe.
You two know each other.CONRAD: Far too well, I'm afraid.
Palermo last, right?No, Taormina. '44, February.
You were in that bar...Jesus Christ.
Let's not talkabout it.Yes, I think it's time.
One city, four armies.Well, that's its appeal, isn't it?
Glad to see your job hasn't changed. Welcome.Thank you.
The French are joining us, aren't they?
Yes. We can always rely on the French to be running slightly late.
How was Vienna?"Frustrating" would be
an excellent word for it.
Has Beethoven made a final decision yet?
Yes, he's ready. Anxious, of course.
Wants us to move fast.Gyroscope?
Yep, all packed up.Good, sooner the better.
Max, you finally join us.
Bonjour. Bonjour.
DELAVANEY: We are running a smidgeon late,
as you would say.
Max Delavaney,
Conrad Greer.Pleasure.
[IN FRENCH] Nice to meet you. Bonjour.
Sometimes I think we should have little flags in front of us.
Why would you think that?Make it all a bit more jolly.
"Jolly"...I vote for flags.
It's meant to be a joke.
SEVERINE: My apologies, there was some small confusion
with my pass, it seems.
SCOTT: Hello.
I'm Fielding Scott.
I'm liaising with Beethoven.
Have we got a photo of Beethoven?
Just so Conrad knows who we're talking about.
So...
That's Beethoven, huh?
Sorry, I wasn't responsible for the code name.
Has Beethoven decided where he's going?
Yes, he's insisting on Oxford University.
Is that a problem?No. Glad to have him.
After he's delivered his commodities, of course.
I have another meeting with Beethoven coming up.
He's getting desperate.
He wants us to move fast.
Right. So how are we going to get him
and his wonderful guidance system out?
MadameBloch, what do you think?
What?
When should we get him?
I suggest one day during this reception coming up.
Everyone will be in Potsdam. It's a perfect moment.
I can use our usual team. They're very efficient.
Beethoven is there.
We'll go straight to the American zone, the shortest distance.
Is it cleared with them?
Conrad will be on that, won't you, Conrad?Yes, sure.
Then, once we're over, we deliver the package to you.
I'm really sorry, but I have another meeting.
So I best be going.
Keep me informed, will you?
Bye.Bye. It's been a pleasure.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Can I get you a drink?
I know...
a very nice place.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Severine, I'm so sorry...
[SLAPS]Ouch.
I've been waiting 14 months to do that.
I thought you were dead.
I couldn't contact you.
It would've been dangerous for us.
For you.No, no, sorry.
You could've told me after the killing.
I thought it was you, fool!I was flown...
I thought you were dead.
I was flown out of Berlin two hours after the incident.
Just kicked out...I walk in and see you there.
How was I meant to feel?
I completely understand if you want walk out this door and never see me again.
I'm so, so sorry.
[IN FRENCH] Hi there.
[IN ENGLISH] Hotel Kaiser...
I never thought we would be back here.
Here we are making the same bloody mistake.
I still don't understand
why that British agent tried to kill you?
Haldane...
No, neither do I.
But I am going to find out.
If they tried to kill you once, maybe they'll try again.
No.
Everything's changed now.
My position, my responsibilities, I think.
But I am being very careful.
You killed a British agent.
I don't think they'll forgive you or forget.
But I haven't forgotten either.
That's what they should worry about.
Did you miss me?
No, not for a second.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[IN GERMAN]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Aah.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
I'm looking for a man, a German.
His name is Klaus Fiesler.
And I need your help to try and find him.
Who's Klaus Fiesler?
He was an SS officer in Paris
from the end of 1943 to May 1944.
He tortured my husband to death...
over a period of ten days.
My husband, Francois Bloch.
He was in the Resistance.
I'm so sorry. I didn't...
They wouldn't let me see his body.
I think the mutilations were so bad.
But I was given his ring.
So I knew.
Klaus Fiesler returned to Germany,
and in 1945 he disappeared.
But I've been looking for him.
And now, I know I've discovered...
that he is here in Berlin,
living under an assumed name, of course...
somewhere in the British sector.
I see.Yes.
So I think... I hope...
that you may be able to help me find him.
This is Fiesler?
Yes, that's the lastphotograph we have of him.
The fact that he's out there, somewhere in Berlin,
living an ordinary life is a kind of obscenity.
He needs to be caught...
and brought to justice.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[IN ENGLISH] Hey.
Excellent idea. Everything okay?
No, there's Stasiout there every day now.
You were right to be careful.
Let's go down here. I can rejoin the others this way.
Imagine if I'd stayed in England...
And now I'm running to England.
But I don't think Traudel can take much more.
What?
You hear that?
No.
Like an engine.
You can rejoin your friendsthis way, yes?Yes.
[IN GERMAN]
SCOTT: [IN ENGLISH] Is everything ready?
All the components? Yes, packed and ready.
Everything?The whole thing can be assembled.
I have every part I need.
Good. It's important.This way.
So when? When do we go?Any day now.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

We have to move fast now.
Before they find him.
We go tomorrow.Tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow! 12:00 hours. Midday. Be ready. Go!

We have to do the Beethoven move today.
Oh, my God, today?
We planned for Wednesday.
Why the change?Circumstances have changed.
All right...
if you say so.
Let me see if my team can organize...No. No team.
Just you and me. Everything's organized.
What's going on? What are the circumstances?
Are you sure? I mean...Yes, I'm sure.
Today.
You and me. Noon.
We get Beethoven.
MAN:Yes, indeed, Comrade General,
we would like to draw to your attention to these recurring incidents.
It doesn't help anyone if civil aviation
in and around Berlin seems to be...
what can I say? Something of a hot potato.
These air-corridors have been acknowledged internationally for years.
It might be a good idea if we all agreed to the same formalities...
Are you ready?
Let me tell you a little story...Yes.
...about a pilot.
His name was Wozniewski...
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
And anyway...
This will go on for at least another two hours.
See you outside in five minutes.
And anyway, this guy...
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
So, fellas...
SCOTT: Shit.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
We should go.
Get out of here.No.
Third floor, now!
[DOORBELL RINGING]
