As you can see,
our Cultural Attach Department
to the rest of Bulgaria
with extraordinary results.
Sofia Private School
has the best scores in the country.
each and every one of yourselves
a round of applause
for this extraordinary accomplishment.
[applause]
Aah!
[groaning]
No witnesses.
[beeping]
[speaking Bulgarian]
So how's the good doctor this evening?
Happy to have the company
of my old friend.
Attractive, huh?
Yes, very.
So what's it been now, Robert, hmm?
Three years? Four?
It's been four years today, actually.
Look around, my friend.
If you wanted to,
you could go home
with a different one every night.
It's not exactly my style,
you know that.
What, then?
[sighs]
Ah, you're still punishing yourself
about the accident, are you?
Oh, Robert, you need to
deal with it, my friend.
I know what carrying that kind
of burden around can do to you.
I appreciate your concern as always,
but as long as I stay here
in Eastern Europe,
all of that stays back in New York.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Well, that's...
It doesn't work that way, my friend.
I think you need therapy.
I'll tell you what I do need.
I need a drink.
Where's our waitress?
[sighs]
[sighs again]
[passing sirens]
[dog barking]
[laughs quietly]
So, Vicki, how are we today, hmm?
I'm okay.
Good.
Any more memory lapses, hmm?
Any more bad dreams?
I sense that you're
avoiding conversation today.
Perhaps you'll indulge me
in a brief activity, hmm?
It's a hypnotic technique we use
to open a patient's senses,
to tap into the imagination.
You can trust me.
You're not afraid of a simple
little blindfold, are you?
You can remove it
whenever you want to.
I promise.
And just relax.
Breathe and relax.
Now, I asked you about your dreams.
Any recently that you recall?
Yes, one.
Go on.
It's embarrassing, actually.
It's like a re-creation
from something I read long ago.
Have you read Hubert Selby, Jr.
Last Exit to Brooklyn?
No, I can't say I have
There is this part at the end
where this junkie chick
climbs into an abandoned car
and lets every guy
in the neighborhood screw her.
Every scumbag and lowlife
for miles around get in this line,
and the line
goes around the block.
How did it affect you, the scene,
when you read it?
At the time, it was disturbing.
But in this dream...
I'm the girl in the abandoned car.
They're hidden by keffiyehs,
you know, those Arabic scarves.
They're pulled over their faces,
Go on.
They're all the same man.
Have you thought who he might be...
the man wearing the keffiyeh?
[internalized screaming]
DR. KAHN:
Vicki?Vicki?
- Vicki?
- What?
You blanked out there.
Went somewhere else
as you answered my questions.
I did?
Answered your questions?
What questions?
What did I say?
Well, you were away
for several moments.
You don't remember
what we were talking about?
No, I don't remember.
[bell rings]
MAN:
One moment, please.Oh, here she is now.
This is the man
from the embassy, Vicki.
Robert Diggs.
Please meet my wife, Vicki Denov.
Pleased to meet you. Call me Vicki.
Sure.
So you'll be spending some time
with us today then?
Yes, that's correct.
Your English is excellent,
by the way.
It better be.
Shall we? I'm running late.
Sure. It's a pleasure.
Bye.
[speaking Bulgarian]
VICKI:
Proper nouns includes wordslike Sofia and Bulgaria.
you capitalize the first letter.
Pavo, can you give us examples
of proper nouns?
Atea, Mexico,
New York, Istanbul,
Washington, Mexico City,
Cairo.
[students laugh nervously]
Tiger Woods.
David Beckham.
[students laugh]
Very good. You may sit.
Remember:
names, places, and titles.
[keystrokes]
[computer beeps]
I'm going to the ambassador's office.
[knock on door]
- Robert Diggs.
- Ambassador.
Good to finally meet you.
Pleasure's all mine, ambassador.
Sorry to drag you in like this.
Well, I have to admit, sir,
that your email did arouse my curiosity.
[chuckles]
Let's get some air.
DIGGS:
Project Sofia?Sure, I remember.
A counter-terrorism program
based here in the city, defunct now.
Yes. Black ops.
A lot of fuss in the press
about it here, though.
Our agents were good guys,
really great.
They've been able to infiltrate
some of the best organized
terrorist-radical groups
from New York to Madrid,
and they were not able-
not able to get into Sofia, ever.
Not then, not now.
I gotta talk to you about
what's going on with Sofia today.
I thought it was dead in the water.
Yeah. Seemed to be
until yesterday.
Yeah, I read about this this morning.
Hmm. I've been on the phone all night
with the States dealing with this.
Turns out Washington
knows all about the fella
this vigilante terminated.
He was a target
and we've never been able
to get anywhere near him.
Oh, I guess the guys back home
are feeling some heat from higher up,
and now they want to find out
exactly what's going on here.
So I have been specifically instructed
to, quote, unquote, persuade you
to take charge of
the investigation here.
Why me?
Because you are exemplary.
- [scoffs]
- No, seriously.
That's what your FBI friends called you.
They said you were exemplary.
I was exemplary in my whole life.
Leaving law enforcement
was a well-thought-out decision
on my part, ambassador.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I know. They told me about that,
and I'm truly sorry.
Come on.
But it seems that the ramifications of this
are very big-politically, globally.
See, these vigilantes have taken on
a whole string of high-profile targets,
targets your FBI guys
told me on the phone last night
that they've been tracking for years
and could never get a look at.
So now they need to know
how come these vigilantes
can get inside when they can't?
And who are they, these guys?
And what do they know?
How do they know it?
And why them, not us?
What Intel do we have?
They tell me that some militant
is setting up safe houses.
He doesn't know why,
but he knows they're here in villages.
Islamic Jihad.
Am I being pressured
into this assignment, sir?
You have complete disclosure,
full disclosure, everything.
Consul General has told me
that your clearances
have been made complete.
If you need help from local
law enforcement, you have it.
We need to get a handle
on this, Robert.
[sighs]
And you're the man for it.
You're...
Well, you know what you are.
- Exemplary.
- Exemplary.
[wolf whistle]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
[applause]
[speaking Bulgarian]
[speaking Bulgarian]
[beeps]
Lonewolf. Proceeding with next target.
