The Assignment Page #3

Your father abandoned you

when he was sent to jail.

Either way,

it's lonely boy missing his father.

Use your own experiences to create

an image of Carlos' father.

So when you talk about him

you have the same emotion.

The same love.

The same resentment.

The same sadness.

The same anger.

So who told you to stop?

- What's that?

- A transmitter.

- For what?

- Target practice. You're the target.

Jos! Bouvier!

Smith!

You're dead.

- You've finished all your porridge.

- I've finished all my porridge.

Good.

You can have some more.

- I ain't eating any more sh*t.

- Whatever is the matter?

I'll tell you what the matter is.

I've been here eight f***ing weeks!

All I've had to eat the whole time

is this sh*t.

I'm losing weight.

I'm shitting 3-4 times a day.

You nearly killed me

with those snowmobiles.

It's Christmas Eve, and I haven't

seen my family in two months.

And I still don't know what I'm

supposed to be learning here.

- You're acting like a spoiled brat.

- Which is going to save your life.

Acting like a tight-ass Navy brass

is exactly what will get you killed.

As a child, Carlos was fed porridge.

He hated it.

Everyone he's ever been close to

he told about that porridge.

In school he was a scrawny kid.

He felt clumsy.

- We made you feel clumsy.

- Carlos' father smoked cigars.

The cover that will save your life

is one you believe in yourself.

Ready for the next test?

Your wife has told you she was away

from the house for a week.

Now you come home together.

Walk through the house. Don't arouse

her suspicion. You have 30 seconds.

Find out if she's lying. Then we'll

answer some of your questions.

- Time's up.

- Is she telling the truth?

- She had a man over.

- How do you know?

She hasn't been here for a week?

The sponge is still wet.

There's water under the dish rack.

The milk is fresh.

From the date on it,

it was probably bought yesterday.

- Same with the margarine and bread.

- How do you know it was a man?

She might have met him at a bar.

A book of matches was thrown out.

- There was ash from a cigarette.

- What else?

I think they made love on the sofa.

The cushions were hastily turned.

I know it was a man

from the smell of cheap aftershave.

Jack, you've been f***ing my wife.

Rousseau! Bouvier!

Flint! Brisson!

Not bad, huh?

The plan is to get the KGB

to eliminate Carlos for us.

Carlos knows all the links between

the KGB and terrorist organizations.

He knows everything.

If we can get the KGB to think that

Carlos is going over to the CIA, -

- they'll take him out for us.

- Why would they think that?

- Money. $50 million.

Not for revolution, for his pocket.

A new identity and CIA protection.

If we lay it out right,

they'll believe it.

- When do we move?

- Not so fast. You're not ready.

- I'd say at least two months..

- Two months? Are you crazy?

Bullshit! I'm ready now.

You give me any test you want,

I'll pass it.

I've already passed all your tests.

No wonder you haven't caught him.

You've had me training in Siberia

to catch someone in the Middle East!

- How long does it take to work?

- It should be hitting him now.

Carlos!

I told you I didn't want

anything to do with this.

F*** you.

Are you looking for me, amigo?

Father! Father!

- Hey, Joey.

- Pitch it to me.

- Watch!

- Joey, get out of there!

Ready?

- I hope we didn't go too far.

- The LSD might f*** him up.

It's better than being shot

in some back alley in Libya.

If he can't handle this, he sure as

sh*t can't handle going operational.

What's next?

Your new instructor will be Carlos'

girlfriend from eight years ago.

She's French. Her name is Carla.

She'll teach you what we can't.

- Why is she helping us?

- Carlos used her.

He put her on an aeroplane

with a bomb in her suitcase.

If it hadn't been found, she'd

have gone up with everything else.

She's about 32.

She's very attractive.

- Yeah, it won't be a hardship.

- What won't be a hardship?

Doing it. F***ing her.

Our way in is through another girl,

Agnieska. She's the key to the trap.

The KGB will be watching her.

If she's convinced, so will they be.

You'll then ask Agnieska

to do a bank transaction.

You're not cheating on your wife.

You're f***ing for your flag.

Close your eyes

and think of England.

Hello?

The thing about Carlos is, he

doesn't lose himself with a woman.

Lovers are different to him.

He might have a use for them.

So he has to seduce them properly.

Make sure they're so crazy for him

they'll do anything for him.

It is not pleasure for him.

It is a sick kind of conquest.

He'll do anything.

He's the perfect lover.

He doesn't do it to please you,

but to excite you.

To make it dangerous for you..

The danger is very sexy

to a woman.

He could kill you in a second,

but instead he makes you come.

It's like he makes you born again

the way he wants you to be.

There isn't a thought in your brain

that he hasn't put there.

Not a feeling in your body

that he hasn't put there.

You understand?

Take off your clothes.

Just like that?

Look.. I don't want to know

your name or anything about you.

I'm not here to be romantic.

I'm here to help you kill him.

- I hope that's what you'll do.

- It is.

Take off your clothes.

- You're smaller than him.

- Really..

That's what he would have done

if I'd said something like that.

What's wrong with you?

Aren't you a man?

- I'm sorry.

- Shut up.

Come to me.

Come, kiss where you hit.

Kiss where the blood is.

Smear it on my lip so I taste it.

Now go down on me.

Don't let me come. Control me.

It's got to be when he wants it.

PARIS, SAM E TI M E

The KGB has set up

a surveillance on Agnieska.

Agnieska has received word

from Carlos -

- telling her to come and meet you.

You will convince her you're Carlos.

Ask her to handle some banking, so

the KGB will know Carlos is Ortega.

When they see you with a CIA agent,

they'll know Carlos has turned.

Unless this Agnieska sees

through me. She was his lover.

- She wasn't his wife.

- Carlos excites her.

She wants to believe you as a child

wants to believe in Santa Claus.

- Where do I meet this Agnieska?

- Libya. That's where Carlos is.

Libya?

Libya.

Jack doesn't know we're having this

talk, and I don't want him to know.

You're going to feel more alone

than you've ever felt in your life.

You'll think your heart's

going to jump out of your chest.

You'll suspect everyone.

I want you to be prepared for that.

Understand?

Nothing prepares you.

You mustn't panic. You feel

the fear and you get rid of it.

Splash some water on your face

and look in the mirror.

But when you do, make sure

it's Carlos you find there.

Then everyone else will see Carlos.

If anything goes wrong, -

- only Carlos can get you out.

TRI POLI, LI BYA, MAY 1987

Passport.

- Ricardo Moran Vargas?

- Yes.

- Your business?

- Oil. The petroleum business.

Petroleum?

Vladimir.

One sound and you're dead.
