Atomic Blonde Page #6

They're all listening to me.

They knew.

The KGB knew everything.

I need to get across.

Jan.

Well, I expected more

out of the Brits

- than a royal goat f***.

- I know. We're sorry.

Oh, no, wait. You lot don't have

your own private

Stasi agent, do you?

Not one with a

photographic memory.

KURZFELD :
We need to

get with Broughton

and get on the same page.

We need that list...

Now more than ever.

Broughton?

She made it out.

Right.

You know, a beautiful Italian

girl once said to me, "David..."

you can't unfuck

what's been f***ed."

Women are always getting in the

way of progress, aren't they?

REPORTER :
What no one in Germany

believed possible has

happened tonight.

The wall is coming down.

The wall is down.

MAN :
People here have lived

with the wall since 1961,

and I think now it's time to...

break the wall down, you know.

REPORTER :
The wall is crumbling.

The sledgehammers

in the hands of men

not born when it went

up tear into it.

And behind it,

the East German soldiers

tried to stop the tide.

Water cannons were brought out.

But the West Berliners

were determined.

One West Berliner

sprayed champagne back.

PERCIVAL :
You know, if I was

to follow you, I

mean, properly...

you'd never f***ing know.

REPORTER :
It is the moment.

Berliners have

waited 28 years for.

Even the East Germans

seem exhilarated.

A symbolic breach

in the structure

that cost hundreds of lives

and separated friends,

families and lovers for decades.

LORRAINE :
I found a

French UHF device

in my coat after Spyglass died.

I now believe it was

Percival who planted it.

Made it look like Lasalle.

(knocking on door)

(knocking)

Why are you here?

You need to leave Berlin.

Well, when I didn't hear

from you, I got worried.

How naive can you be?

We chose this life, Delphine.

This only ends one way.

What are you talking about?

He set us both up.

You have to leave while you can.

(door opens)

(door closes)

(sighs)

(line ringing)

PERCIVAL (over phone): Yes?

Don't underestimate

me, Percival.

Oh, Lasalle, listen

to me very carefully.

You have no idea who

you're dealing with.

- You set me up.

- You... (sighs)

Come on, now. This is the game.

I know your secrets, David,

and I can play this game

better than you think.

("Voices Carry" by

'Til Tuesday plays)

(fireworks popping)

I'm in the dark, I'd

like to read his mind

But I'm frightened of

the things I might find

Oh, there must be something

he's thinking of

To tear him away

(song continues over radio)

When I tell him that

I'm falling in love

Why does he say

Hush, hush...

LORRAINE (over speaker):

Percival is trying

to set me up.

LASALLE (over speaker):

Are you surprised?

LORRAINE :
Not really.

These relationships aren't real.

They're just a means to an end.

LASALLE :
When you tell the

truth, you look different.

Your eyes change.

LORRAINE :
Thanks

for the warning.

LASALLE :
What do you mean?

LORRAINE :
I mean, I

better not do it again.

LASALLE :
Why?

LORRAINE :
'Cause it's going

to get me killed one day.

LASALLE :
There is something

that I need to tell you.

It has to do with

your friend Percival.

- He's...

- LORRAINE :
Shh.

(recording stops,

"Voices Carry" resumes)

Because I know all

the trouble I'll get

Oh, he tells me tears

are something to hide

And something to fear

And I try so hard

to keep it inside

So no one can hear

(grunting and groaning)

Hush, hush

Keep it down now

- Voices carry

- (gasping, groaning)

(grunting and groaning)

Hush, hush

Keep it down now

Voices carry

(Lasalle coughing)

Hush, hush

- Keep it down

now -(groaning)

Voices carry

- (yells in pain)

- Ah, ah

(grunting)

(yells in pain)

(groaning)

(pained sobbing)

(grunts, yells in pain)

- (buzzing)

- (crowd singing nearby)

(grunting, gasping)

(buzzing continues)

(Percival sobbing

in pain, gasping)

(buzzing continues)

(crowd continues singing)

I'm sorry, darling.

(yells in pain)

This is the game.

- (pained grunt)

- (panting)

He wants me...

- (buzzing continues)

- (crowd continues singing)

- Hush, hush

- (Percival grunts)

Keep it down now

Voices carry

(panting)

Hush, hush

Keep it down now

Voices carry

(knocking on door)

Oh, hush, hush

- Shut up now

- (door bangs open)

(gun c*cks)

Voices carry

Oh, hush, hush

Keep it down now

Voices carry

Oh, hush, hush

Darling

- She might

overhear... -F***.

REPORTER :
Celebrations continue

in the streets tonight.

From the moment the first wave

of East Germans

crossed into Berlin,

they have been showered

with champagne

and cheered by a

crowd of thousands.

It is clear this will be one of

Berlin's most dramatic days.

East Berliners are overcome

as they cross the border

that has been closed

to them for 28 years.

West Berliners are chipping away

at the wall that scarred

their city and scaling it.

(panting quietly)

("99 Luftballons" by Kaleida

plays, sung in German)

REPORTER :
There is no more

interference from the police.

Unified, Berliners lay

symbols of peace.

Thousands of them looking

east and chanting,

"Down with the wall."

There's only one

question left to ask.

Who won?

And what was the

f***ing game anyway?

MAN (over TV):
And

I was thinking,

the wall will never fall.

KURT LODER (over TV):

Germany's peaceful revolution

is probably the political

and cultural story of 1989.

We're going to take a quick

break, but we'll be back

with an in-depth look

at the number-one

musical controversy of

the year... sampling.

Is it art, or is it

just plagiarism?

Don't go away.

("99 Luftballons" continues)

To win, first you have to

know whose side you're on.

PERCIVAL :
In our line of work,

that's right up there

with black holes

or "to be or not to be."

You fight the good

fight, and then one day

you wake up and you

realize that all you were

was Satan's little helper.

(crowd cheering,

fireworks popping)

(fireworks whistling

and popping)

PERCIVAL :
Ironic.

The news will tell them there

will be no more secrets.

But you and I, we both

know that's not true.

The world is run on secrets.

- (air hissing)

- (gasps)

Whoever has that list has power.

And without it, you're just

another f***ing target.

(camera shutter clicking)

PERCIVAL :
So, what

have I learned

after all this time?

After all the sleepless nights,

lying to friends,

lovers, myself?

Playing this crooked

game in this crooked town

filled with backstabbers

and four-faced liars?

I'll tell you what I've learned.

One thing and one thing only.

I f***ing love Berlin!

(shell casing clinks on ground)

(groaning)

(wheezing, groaning)

(Percival gasping)

You didn't have to kill her.

You what... what...

you suddenly decided

to develop a conscience

after all you've done?

Have you noticed how

everyone you get close to

ends up f***ing dead?

You gave Bremovych the

details of the plan.

You went to the KGB

to take me out.

You were too f***ing

scared to do it yourself.
