Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Page #2

but it's how we like to do things.

You know, people don't like you guys

very much these days.

Waterboarding. Rendition.

Not my unit.

Come on. You can do better than that.

I can.

And I do.

And so do the people in my unit.

Which unit is that?

The one that makes sure

we don't get hit again.

- (CAR HORNS BLARING)

- (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

I knew.

I knew when you saw me ride it,

you'd want one.

Mmm.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

Oh, her name's Sarah, by the way.

Who?

The one you like in Arbitrage.

How'd you know that?

Why else would anybody

buy a motorcycle?

- Teddy Hefferman?

- Sarah, yes.

Jack Ryan said you could help me

with the Balfour arbitrage.

- How're you doing?

- Hi.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Uh, what do you have?

This looks good.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:

The World Bank urging caution

as volatilities in emerging markets

continue to remind investors

that with unprecedented

global interconnectivity,

even the strongest economies

are vulnerable to collapse.

This just in.

Last minute negotiations

are expected today

as the security council of

the United Nations votes.

Russia's bitterly opposed

to a new Turkish pipeline,

which could see Russian economic

dominance of oil exports shattered.

The big question,

will the U.S. defy Russia?

AMERICAN DIPLOMAT: The only thing

that the Turks and the Georgians

would undermine with their pipeline

is Russia's monopoly on the Eastern

European natural gas market.

We both know that.

If you block our proposal

and the pipeline is approved,

oil falls below $79 a barrel

and the Russian government

goes bankrupt.

In our judgment,

your assessment is extreme.

Thank you.

Our request comes

from my country's highest level.

And it is respectfully denied from mine.

Then we will regard this

as an act of economic war.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:

While Wall Street talks up

the robust performance of the dollar,

many commentators look to the U.N.

and the bitter standoff

between the United States and Russia.

The U.S. has the upper hand for now,

but fears exist about exactly how

an angry Russia

and Russian business will react

to the likely disastrous effects

for the Russian economy

of America's U.N. veto.

(CHIMING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISPERS) Tell him he will need

somebody in Moscow.

- He'll want you.

- No, I'm just an analyst.

Our Russian partners

are hiding accounts from us.

It's, um, all in the data.

Nobody else understands the data.

Harper will want you.

Just get yourself to Moscow.

WOMAN:
(IN FILM)

Operator. Operator. Operator!

OPERATOR:
(IN FILM) Your call, please.

WOMAN:
Operator,

I've been ringing Murray Hill, 35097,

for the last half hour

and the line is always busy.

Will you ring it for me, please?

(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)

Hello?

Jack?

(PANTING)

(PANTING)

You home yet?

(PEOPLE SPEAKING

INDISTINCTLY ON TV)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- I bet you looked cute.

- (CHUCKLES)

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:...overseas,

where we see

a surprisingly sturdy

performance by the dollar,

holding its ground in spite of

the Turkish pipeline vote at the U.N.

and the latest deficit news.

Anika, your reaction?

Well, surprised,

pleased certainly, but this is extremely

unusual behavior by the market.

Commodities should be moving in

the opposite direction of the dollar.

You'd see a very different direction

by investors as well.

They usually waver

from one day to the next...

Is work okay?

Yeah. Yeah, it was good.

Sorry about that. Yeah.

So, you feel like a movie this weekend?

Sure.

There's a revival of Sorry,

Wrong Number at the Film Forum.

I was thinking that might be fun.

Uh...

Yeah.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Have you ever seen it?

Um...

You know what

I haven't seen is the waiter for, like,

10 minutes. Have you seen him?

- No.

- Where'd he run off to?

Okay. So, should we go?

- Sounds good.

- Good.

Yeah. Let's do it.

- WAITER:
For you, sir?

- Ah. Yeah, the lady will try it.

Yes, I will try it. Thank you.

(MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Sorokin wants to meet you now.

(CONVERSING IN RUSSIAN)

Ten minutes.

Yes, Minister.

I warned them of the outcome

at the U.N...

...it was entirely predictable.

It was a mistake for us to force a vote.

You started moving assets when the

vote went against us, I hope?

Yes, Minister.

You understand the Kremlin

must remain entirely distanced.

Anything you activate

must be self-contained.

Is it the hour for 'Lamentations'?

Lamentations?

The Russian government is unaware...

...of any such activity or operation.

But of course.

You want to go to Moscow?

I think we have to.

They're unnamed, uncategorized,

scattered all over the world.

They're hidden accounts, Rob.

These are just the ones

I managed to find.

How did you find them?

- You pay me to look.

- Not to look that hard.

Joke.

- You think they're ripping us off?

- I don't know what to think.

Jesus H. Christ.

You're the compliance officer.

It's your call, but can I ask one thing?

Don't screw up the most

lucrative partnership this company has.

Please? I'm not kidding.

Viktor Cherevin is

completely unpredictable.

And it's Russia.

Insider trading is legal over there.

It's the Wild West.

They're still ideologues,

but the new ideology is money.

They're not a country,

they're a corporation.

Which is why

we're there in the first place.

- I know, don't rock the boat.

- It's not a boat.

It's a goddamn luxury yacht

and we're all on it together.

So, don't f***ing sink us.

CATHY:
Why don't you

want me to come?

JACK:
Because I think

you'd be bored out of your mind.

It's Moscow. How would I be bored?

JACK:
I'll be working the whole time.

What about Paris?

- What about Paris?

- Well, it isn't boring.

And you won't be working.

They owe me a long weekend. You can

meet me there when you're done.

What do I have to do

to take a vacation with you?

You can marry me

and call it a honeymoon.

Why didn't you tell me about the movie?

What?

Sorry, Wrong Number.

You'd already seen it.

There was a stub in your pocket.

You went through my pockets.

(SCOFFS) Oh.

I folded your pants

because you throw them on the floor

- and what I asked you...

- Why won't you just marry me, Cathy?

Are you having an affair?

Oh, God, no. No.

Is that what this is?

Is that what you think?

(STAMMERS) Who did you

see the movie with?

By myself.

I'm a compliance officer.

I do everything by myself!

It was a 1:
45 show.

I couldn't stare at

the goddamn computer screen anymore.

You know what? If the job isn't right for

you, Jack, maybe it's time to move on!

Paris.

You and me.

Okay?

(WOMAN SPEAKING

INDISTINCTLY ON PA)

Dr. Ryan. Embee Deng.

Private security for Cherevin Group.

I'm your protective detail.

I need a bodyguard?

(CHUCKLES) Think of me

as your fancy driver.

- Where are you from, Embee?

- Uganda.

Cherevin only hires foreigners

for security.

That way they know we're not FSB.
