Fielding Scott?SCOTT: Yes.
MAN 2: We'd like you to come with us, sir.
Go back to Berlin.
You killed a British agent.
SCOTT: Haldane tried to kill me.
CONRAD: So that's Beethoven, huh?
STUART-HAY: He's working with the Russians on their space program.
He's developed this
new guidance system for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Fielding, thank God, you're here.
One city, four armies.
Well, that's its appeal, isn't it?
SEVERINE: We'll go straight through to the American zone,
the shortest distance.
SCOTT: Severine, I'm so sorry...
SEVERINE: I've been waiting 14 months to do that.
There's Stasi out there every day now.
SCOTT: We have to do the Beethoven move today.
No team. Just you and me. Everything's organized.
PETRIE: Are you fucking insane?
What were you thinking of?
WOMAN: Good morning.
PETRIE: What were you playing at, you and Severine Bloch?
You can't just go and exfiltrate an asset like that.
What about the Americans?
[SIGHS]
SCOTT: One hour earlier...
PETRIE: You need a whole team!
Not just a couple of idiots.
Madame Bloch and I were capable of running the entire project.
You'll have to answer for this in London.
I'm washing my hands of it. I blame you, Scott...
not Severine Bloch.
Yes, I blame myself.
What about the gyroscope?
Gone.
Of course.
I'll answer to London.
I'll take full responsibility for this.
Madame Bloch had no part in this decision. It was all me.
Still just for the record...
She was the only one who knew about it.
Apart from yourself, of course.

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Look how they're broadcasting this.
"Full celebration, every stop pulled out. What a triumph."
They get to keep his invention and we don't know what it's going to do to us.
Was it the Soviets?
The Soviets, with Stasi help, no doubt.
But they wanted us to see everything.
They let us in. They let us leave. It was a warning.
A warning to every other German scientist.
You try and run to the West
and we'll kill you...
and your family.
But,
how do you think they knew we were going to spring him
on that very day? Only you knew. And the French woman.
SCOTT: He was being closely followed by the Stasi.
Someone must have told themabout our interest in Beethoven. They must have.
[LIQUID POURS]
They were such a sweet family.
STUART-HAY: It's a war, Scott.
It may be "cold," but it's still a war.
And in a war, there are casualties, inevitably.
SCOTT: I should have told you this.
It was very peculiar, you know.
Beethoven and I were almost picked up by the Stasi.
I was being followed.
The VoPos stopped me. everything was closing in,
so that's why I had to move independently.
I think I should go back to Berlin.
Find out who betrayed us and who's responsible
for Beethoven's death and his family.
You're too high risk, Scott.
First Haldane, now Beethoven...
Berlin's a snake pit. Highly complicated.
We don't need your extra complications.
SCOTT: Doesn't high risk pay off in this instance?
If you give me the authority I need,
the money, the tools, then I...[STAMMERING]
No sorry, but...
I'm not so sure, Ian.
I think Scott has a point.
Someone must have betrayed him.
Send him back to Berlin.
Just make sure
your feelings don't cloud your judgment.
Oh, I never do, sir.
But please, you must let me do this my own way.
Fine. Do it your own way.
Find out who this traitor is.
And then, just make sure that you kill him.
Or her.
I would definitely take a very close look
at that French woman.

[MUSIC PLAYING][INDISTINCT CHATTER]
The three of them...
What did we do wrong?
I mean, what happened?
Beethoven and I were jumped by the Stasi in the forest.
So that's why you wanted to move so fast.
Not fast enough.
Just one of those disasters.
It happens in our business.
[BLOWING SMOKE]
I found this Fiesler character you were looking for.
You found him?Well, no.
A file.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER] [CUTLERY CLINKERING]
Some Russian was interrogated. The name Fiesler came up.
Russian? Impossible.
It can't be the same man.How are you so sure?
Must be another Fiesler.
There's no Russian connection.
There is a Paris connection. That's the key one.
What Fiesler did in Paris in 1944...
There is no Russian connection.
I'll carry on looking then.
So who's this guy Dalar?
DUNN: Dahar. He's acontact we made in Beirut.
I want you to set up a meeting between him and Fielding Scott.
May I ask why?
We might reap benefits, who knows.
What if Scott refuses?He won't.
What makes you so sure?
Because it's all to do with Simon Haldane.
Tell him that.
Okay, I'll call him, but I can't promise anything.
I've every confidence in you, Conrad.
Old comrades in arms and all that. Just make it happen.
Does this have to do with a photograph?
Let's just arrange the meeting and wait and see, shall we?
PETRIE: What am I meant to make of this? SCOTT: What is it?
PETRIE: You know perfectly well what it is.
You're to stay on here inBerlin for some damn-fool reason. Why?
After the Beethoven fiasco? It was a total, shameful disaster.
Why isn't London having your guts for garters?
London obviously doesn't hold me responsible.
Horseshit.
You went for Beethoventoo early. Your decision.Not early enough.
Beethoven had already been sold. There was nothing I could do.
What's going on, Scott?
What's really happening here?
Nothing is "really happening."
London obviously thinks I'll be of some use in Berlin.
It says: "Mr. Scott is to be afforded every support the Berlin section can supply."
There is no funding ceiling.
I call that fucking carte blanche, Scott. Even I don't have that.
[LIGHTER CLINKING]
Seems to me there's some other agenda going on here.
Surprising.
I was suspicious when they sent you back from London.
So I made a few calls back to London.
My information didn't tally...
if you know what I mean.
After you killed Simon Haldane,
you were kicked out of the service.
You were meant to go on trial for murder...
or so I heard.
So how come you're back?
How come you suddenly have all this...
power and influence?
No one ever really leaves the service. You know that.
What hole have you crawled out of, Scott?
What's really going?
I think you'll find that the telex is from "C."
It is official.
It comes from very... high up.
You're a liar.
I find that very offensive, sir.
Hello.Hello.
Sorry, just bringing back these files.
The new airline schedules.
I better be off.
See you tomorrow.See you tomorrow.

I was really impressed with your exhibition.
Do you know the people in your photos?
Of course. Very well.It took me two yearsto make this book.
Could you introduce me to some of them?
Why would I want to do that?
Why does anyone do anything?
I know people with galleries, exhibitions, connections.
I could introduce you.
Why would I want to leave?
I like it here.
It's my home.
Three million of your compatriots have.
Isn't that causing all this tension?
[POURING]I really don't know

I'm staying.
A lot of people like it here, you know.
It's better than it was.
Think about it.I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
Who exactly are you, Mr. Scott?
I'm just a British diplomat.
A diplomat seconded here to Berlin.
A "diplomat"...
Well... Mr. British Diplomat.
I may not want to change my address,
but I'm always interested in making some money.
[GLASS CLINKS]
Take a look at this.
Oh, thank you.
Who is this?
It's an ex-SS officer.
Living here in the British sector...
under an assumed name, I imagine.
I thought maybe some of you and your...
odd friends could help me find him.
I could try.[CLICKING LIGHTER]
I also know a few old soldiers.
Think of this as a down payment.
It should cover all expenses, etcetera.
This is very generous.
I'm very generous to people that help me.
Then I think perhaps I'm going to enjoy
working with you.
I was on assignment in Cyprus in 1955.
An assignment?
Were you a war photographer before this?Yes.
I was a bit too closeto an EOKA bomb.Jesus Christ.
It could have been worse.
I could have been dead.
Well, I'm glad you're not.
Hello, yes, I'd like a flight for Hamburg tomorrow, please.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Yes.
And a hotel room, yes, please.
Just one night.
That's Fielding, Scott.
S-C...
O...
T-T, yes.
Thank you.
Mr. Scott, a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Ahmed Dahar.
My American friend said I should meet you.
I am working in Beirut as an independent operator.
I've never been there.But you have friends who have.
Have I?Yes. One friend in particular.
Simon Haldane.
I'm sorry, but what on Earthdoes that got to do with me?
It could be dangerous for you.
Dangerous, in what way?
Something to do with Simon Haldane.
And the photograph.
I don't know about a photograph, and Haldane is dead.
Maybe you don't realize how closely connected to Simon Haldane you are.
So Haldane was keeping some sort of secret,
and it's got something to do with this photograph.
Thank you for your information.

CONRAD: Just practicing my German.
So that's what you call it?

So Beethoven...
My God, what a fucking grade-A disaster.
I know he was an old friend of yours.
But how did they know?
Somebody told them.
But who? I mean, we all knew about it.
Someone's on fire today, aren't they?
Yes, we all knew about it: French, British, Americans.
You went there early, didn't you?
I mean, did anyone see you go early?Doesn't matter.
They were followed constantly. The Stasi wanted them.
Jesus Christ, why did the Stasi know?
I don't fucking know.
It's why I'm here.
It's the only reason I was allowed back, actually.
Find the traitor.
You know I was kicked out of MI6.
Because you killed Simon Haldane.Yes, I killed Simon Haldane.
I murdered a British operative. That's what I fancied doing.
Oh, thank you very much.
Thank you.
So how did the meeting go? With Dahar?
I'm not sure, really.
A bit like a warning of sorts.
Funnily enough...
I think it was connected in some way to Simon Haldane.
I'm interested in Haldane.Are you? Why?
Rather, Torrance Dunn is interested in Haldane.
He's looking for some missing information.
CIA information.
What exactly did you give Haldane?I don't know.
Could it have been a photograph?
Could have been.
Dahar mentioned a photograph.
I'm convinced there's a link between Beethoven and Simon Haldane.
Well, Dunn's been looking for a missing photo.
He won't tell me what it is.
I don't even think he knows himself.
But he wants me to find it.
Real bad.
It's top secret.That's why you're in Berlin.
Mmm.
Yeah, we all have our missions.
What happened to the envelope?I don't know.
I had to flee. Everything was left behind.
Hmm.
Too bad.

Did you get the photograph?
Yes.
And then I heard shots.
Or so I thought.
You didn't say this was going to happen.
Because I didn't think it was going to happen.
Why did she kill him?
She said Fiesler tortured
and killed her husband in Paris in 1944.
Oh, no... he didn't.
Excuse me?He didn't.
What? Why not?Because Klaus Fiesler was captured
by the Russians near Kiev in 1943.
He was repatriated in a prisoner exchange in 1952.
So he couldn't have been in Paris in 1944, could he?
He was in Russia for nearly 10 years?
Who told you this?His old SS buddy, Fabian Salus.
Oh, fuck.
SCOTT: Conrad?
Yes. Fielding Scott.
I've got a bit of a problem.
Sanitation.

Bring some money.
Yes.[DOG WHINES]
Oh, by the way, there's adog in the kitchen.Oh, shit.
Do you want a dog?No, thanks. The dog is your problem.
SCOTT: I do appreciate this.
Bit of an emergency.
What happened to your sanitation department?
I heard they were excellent.
Can we keep this between ourselves? Can you do that?
Yes, I guess so.
Who was he?
An ex-SS officer.
Your case?Not exactly.
But I think it's connected to Beethoven.
Beethoven? Are you serious?
How?I'll tell you when I have the information.
All right. Well, I'd better get going.

I've always wanted a dog.

So you knew Klaus Fiesler during the war?
Yes.
We were in the same regiment.
Before he was caught.
So he never served in Paris?
No.
Gustl here spent some time in Paris.
But not us poor bastards in Russia.
So what can you tell me about Fiesler?
Of course.
Your time is precious.
Information doesn't come for free.
FABIAN: Thank you.
You have to remember Fiesler Klaus was in Russia for 10 years.
Seven of them after the war ended.
A lot can happen to a man during that length of time.
When I met him again he was not the same Klaus that I knew.
Yes, but...
we were all not the same as before.
Of course.
Klaus was very secretive.
He had no money, but he set up his business.
The travel agency: Landau Reise. I've been there.
[MAN COUGHING]

What did you do in the war, Mr. Scott?
I was a soldier.
A commander.
[LIGHTER CLICKS]
And do you still see your commander friends?
No.
But all these old soldiers still keep in touch.
Wehrmacht, Nazis...
SS.
We tend to forget: It's only 16 years since the war ended.
They led us to Fiesler.
Helping people in the East.
Interesting.Yes.
It's interesting to know
where people go.
You run away from the East.
You find a new home in the West.
But you always still have family back in the GDR.
A brother, auntie...
Your parents, grandparents...
So...
it's useful for the state
to know where people end up.
It's an easy pressure, isn't it?
Family...
And you think that's what Fiesler was doing?
Working for the GDR?The GDR and the Soviets, yes.
So why did that woman kill him
if he was never in Paris?
I don't know.
I intend to ask her.
Thank you.
You know, it's...
It's always appreciated.
I'm sure I'll be calling on you again.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Your lovely money is always very welcome.
Taxi service included.
LUBKOV: Fiesler has disappeared.
SEVERINE: I don't know anything about that.
Any news on Udo Hoff? That's all I'm interested in.
We're still looking for Hoff.
I think I saw him.
Where?Doesn't matter.
But now I know he's in the East. I need information.
I don't think I can help you.
Then I can't help you.
MadameBloch, please.
I know he's in the East.
Find him. And then tell me.
LUBKOV: Can you find out anything about Fiesler?
Bring me Udo Hoff, first.
SEVERINE: I like it here.
Very peaceful.
Well, we're definitely alone.
All the better to speak to me, I suppose.
I want to show you a photograph.
So you were watching me?
Yes.
You and Klaus Fiesler. About two minutes before you killed him.
He won't be missed. I can promise you that.
What, the man that killed your husband?
Have you got a cigarette?
Klaus Fiesler was never in Paris.
I know.
So he didn't kill your husband?
No.
That was a man called Udo Hoff.
I'm still looking for him.Udo Hoff?
So why kill Klaus Fiesler?Because...
Because he was going to make life very difficult for me.
So you used meto find Klaus Fiesler.And you were spying on me.
I think you better tell me what's going on, Severine.
Fiesler was a part-timer, working for the KGB.
They infiltrated him in 1952,
when he came back from prison in Russia.
I thought he could be useful.
He was ex-SS.How did you get on to him?
It was a Russian asset we were developing.
He told me about this man, Klaus Fiesler.
And what was this Russian called?
It's not important. We couldn't develop him.I would like to know his name.
He was called...
Lubkov.
Lubkov introduced me to Fiesler.
He said he could help me.
But in fact, he had other plans.
He wanted information from me in return.
What kind of information?
What do you think? Secret information.
Did you give him any?
No.
But he became insistent. Very insistent.
He began making threats.
So it was better that...
that he was gone. Erased.
But I didn't know where he was hiding, didn't know his name,
his nom de plume. So...
I had to ask you.
Did you give Klaus Fiesler any information on Beethoven?
Beethoven?
Me?
Are you crazy?
Do you think I'm crazy?
No, not crazy. But possibly obsessed.
Obsessed and determined to find this Udo Hoff.
I don't betray my country.Beethoven was a German scientist.
We're allies, no? We work together.
We're on the same side. I don't know if you heard that.
I admit I made a mistake with Fiesler.
He thought he could control me.
I let myself get too close to him.
I made the mistake. So I got rid of the mistake.
Actually, I got rid of the mistake.
It wouldn't have mattered.
Fiesler had many enemies.
Somebody was going to kill him one day.
I'm sorry, Fielding.
I was too...
you're right.
"Obsessed" is the right word.
I wasn't thinking. And...
I should have told you.I could have done everything for you.
You shouldn't have gotteninvolved with Fiesler. It's a huge risk.
You should have told me you were having me followed.
So...
What are we going to do?We'll have to carry on.
We're going to find out who betrayed Beethoven.
Now you know I killed Fiesler.
You have evidence. Witnesses.
Why did you just take off your scarf?
[BABY CRYING IN DISTANCE]
I was too warm. Why?
Nothing.
Like you said...
Fiesler won't be missed.
But like somebody else once said...
"Knowledge is power."
Why would I want powerover you?You might find it useful.
I don't want power.
I want you.
Just you.
Good.
The feeling's mutual.
