Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Page #4

Will I get my own card?

Oh... As a foreign guest,

you'll need to be accompanied.

You understand?

- Of course.

- (ELEVATOR BEEPS)

(AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE

SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Viktor Cherevin.

Jack Ryan.

- How was your flight?

- Fine, thank you.

And the jet lag?

That first night can be brutal.

I survived.

That's a nice painting. Napoleon at war.

So, you know your history.

What can I do for you?

Routine audit.

So routine it couldn't

be done from New York?

Not when you're

concealing accounts from us.

You Americans like to think

of yourselves as direct.

But I wonder if perhaps you are just rude.

You Russians think

of yourselves as poets,

but perhaps you're just touchy.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Nothing here is concealed.

Only secured.

(COMPUTER CHIMES)

Excuse me.

(BEEPS)

I hope I can count on

full access to your account files?

You won't need it.

I ordered the companies

which concerned you,

quite unnecessarily, I might add,

to be sold, at a profit.

Your firm's percentages

are detailed in this report.

The funds were transferred this morning,

too late, alas,

to stop you from getting on your flight.

So, you see, an audit would be

quite without purpose at this point,

Mr. Ryan.

I see.

Partnerships are delicate, Mr. Ryan.

Sometimes, they end violently.

Dimitri Lemkov, our head of security.

Jack Ryan.

I'm sorry you had to come all this

way for nothing, Mr. Ryan.

(STAMMERS) I hear the finest restaurant

in Moscow is across the street. Um...

In honor of our partnership and to,

quite frankly,

apologize for my mistake,

perhaps I could take you to dinner.

No.

But I'll take you.

And I insist my driver

pick you up from your hotel.

Moscow can be very dangerous.

Our own man, for example,

who collected you from the airport.

Embee.

We are very concerned.

He has simply disappeared.

I'm sorry to hear that.

No doubt he will turn up in a day or two,

hung-over and remorseful.

Will your wife be joining us tonight?

Uh...

(CHUCKLES)

- I'm not married.

- Oh.

I was just told that

she had arrived at your hotel.

Uh, my girlfriend.

Even better, and our little secret.

You're having fun with me.

Not nearly enough. Bring her along

tonight. We won't go otherwise.

I'll be sure to ask.

A pleasure to have met you both.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

He's dangerous.

(OFFICE PHONES RINGING)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

I lost him.

You're done already?

He's outplayed us.

You didn't get anything?

Nothing. Not one thing.

He sold all the assets.

(CHUCKLES HUMORLESSLY)

He probably moved them

to other shell companies.

But I can't audit

what they technically don't own.

- All right. We still need the algorithm.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I invited him to dinner.

The restaurant is across the street

from his building.

What if we, uh...

What if what?

- (SIGHS) I don't know.

- What, Jack?

Well, what if we...

You wanna break into their system?

- Yeah, I think someone should.

- You think we can?

Yeah... I don't know.

Put it up, the restaurant.

JACK:
The orders to sell

the dollar would be

encrypted on the computer

of the security director.

Dimitri Lemkov?

Former FSB.

JACK:
We can't break into his office.

It's secured six different ways.

So, what about the office next to his?

Well, that's Cherevin's.

Can we get into that?

Maybe someone could

if they had his access card.

We're developing a security guard,

but we don't have him yet.

Well, develop harder.

He drinks, right?

Like a Russian.

Also chases women.

The more married, the better.

Okay, tell your guy once he's in there,

he needs to enable all encrypted

financial sell order packages.

Tell him to look for dark pool algorithms.

And if your guy, if the guy...

I'm the guy, aren't I?

Yeah. You're going to be great.

But you've got another problem, Jack.

So I dropped everything,

and I called in every favor that I knew

and I spent four hours

at the consulate begging for a visa.

You know,

I wanted to make this grand gesture.

I wanted you to see

what you meant to me.

So, I'm here. (LAUGHS)

(SIGHS) And you have to say something.

Well, maybe it's...

Maybe it's awful or hurtful or shameful.

I don't know. But you have to talk to me.

You can't let me think

that I'm crazy anymore.

Because now I know that I'm not.

Just talk to me.

Will you meet me halfway?

I'm in the CIA.

Thank God.

(SIGHS) I thought

you were having an affair.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Is everything in place?

Yes, Mr. Cherevin, our asset

in the U.S. has been contacted.

He's prepared?

Yes, sir. Merely awaiting your order.

We will strike... tomorrow.

Very well, sir.

Sell orders have all been entered.

It's time.

We will activate our asset immediately.

(PRIEST SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

And this must be Aleksandr.

The prodigal returns.

He may not be a regular churchgoer,

but he's a good man, my son.

He just turned 21.

MRS. BOROVSKY:
And he already

has a job at the auto plant.

(CONVERSING IN RUSSIAN)

It was stupid to mention the job.

A real mother would.

It wasn't necessary.

(PRIEST SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Today's reading

is from the Book Of Lamentations...

...chapter 2, verse 2...

Lamentations.

(PRIEST CONTINUES IN RUSSIAN)

(SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN)

We've been activated.

Thank God.

He has torn down the strongholds

...of the daughter of Judah.

He has brought her kingdom...

...and its princes

down to the ground in dishonor.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(MR. BOROVSKY SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

The timing of the attack

has been brought forward.

We leave tonight.

Take nothing with you.

(ALEKSANDR SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

There is one loose end to tie up first.

MAN:
(ON RADIO)

Playing the hottest music in Detroit.

Feel the heat now.

(COUNTRY SONG PLAYING

ON RADIO)

Hey.

Hey.

- Excuse me.

- (SONG CONTINUES PLAYING)

You look kind of lost.

(GAGGING)

(PANTS)

(DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

So, I'll have to keep him busy

at the table for what?

Ten minutes? To be on the safe side?

What are you talking about?

You're not going.

You said he insisted I come to dinner.

- It'll look suspicious if I don't show up.

- No, no, it won't.

HARPER:
She's right, Jack.

To him, something will be off.

You're not involving her in this.

You involved me in this by not telling me.

You got to get her out of here.

Send her home.

Well, what are you gonna tell Cherevin?

That I'm homesick?

These are dangerous people, Cathy.

You cannot be here.

If you'd told me who you really were,

I wouldn't be.

I took an oath!

I took an oath.

I couldn't tell you

unless we were married.

- And you wouldn't marry me!

- That's why you wanted to marry me,

so that you could tell somebody

- that you were in the CIA?

- No, of course not.

You lied to me for three years

and you were good at it.

I think you actually enjoyed it.

Can we have a minute, please?

No, you can't.

I would like to talk to Jack alone.

This is geopolitics,

it's not couples therapy.

Do I really have to remind you

what's at stake here, Jack?
