The Berlin File
3hours ago
One warm doner for 2 o'clock.
Room 607, The Westin Grand
What do you have to say
about the missile test results?
Korean NlS
Surveillance vehicle
The estimates you gave us were off
by over two kilometers.
Yuri
Russian arms broker
Our technicians were not present
for the test.
Smaller arms and
the older missiles are not a problem.
We worry about the new missiles.
Hey, what just happened?
We lost audio.
Do something.
Korean National lntelligence Agency
Berlin Office
The Russian's opening his laptop.
- Fix the damn audio.
- Hang on a second.
- Are you getting audio?
- They're not closing the deal yet.
Who's that pretty boy?
I'm not getting anything.
Nothing on ClA,
Ml6 or Mossad database.
What the...?
A ghost?
I haven't seen one of those
in a while.
If you don't purchase
the new missiles,
we will not provide
the additional weapons.
Assim
Anti-lmperialist Arab League
And then we run another test
with North Korean technicians.
What do you say?
Somebody fix the goddamn audio.
Let me call you back.
Surveillance department
North Korean embassy, Berlin
I don't make the decisions.
I only follow orders.
You have the
new young leader now.
You must be more flexible comrade.
Flexible?
You claim to oppose imperialism,
but you negotiate with this imperialistic logic?
Our terms are non-negotiable.
Lee Hak-su
North Korea's ambassador to Germany
Excuse me.
What's the problem between you?
You came to sign the contract,
not negotiate.
This is the most reasonable
deal I've seen in years.
You're both being stubborn.
You're slaves to your pride.
We cannot match
his price in dollars.
And what about Euros?
I can speak to him about that, at least.
Get the helpers ready.
First, you sign the papers,
then you bet the money.
The transfer first.
Action.
Action!
Okay.
Abort! Abort!
The deal is off.
Get the hell out of there!
This is the Mossad!
Our cleanup squad's here
in ten minutes.
Dagan
Mossad (Israeli secret service)
Don't make this
We can end this here.
We've got no interest
in your weapons deal.
We're only here for
the Russian broker and the Arab.
You've got plenty of other clients
to do business with.
Target on rooftop.
Proceed to service corridor
on the opposite side.
Distance to target 150 meters.
Come quietly.
They train you to put the gun
on the temple?
I just need to know the terms
and confirm the goods.
I turn my head
and the bullet misses me.
Alright, let's go.
The Berlin File.
Your spectacular screw-up
could reverberate all the way
to the Presidential House.
This is an absolute
diplomatic nightmare.
And for what gain?
We got the deal on tape.
Did you get the conversation?
Or the actual goods on tape?
You've got nothing to confirm
the deal terms.
No recording of the conversation.
Exactly what do you have?
He put a gun to my face.
What proof do we need?
And because of that commie,
one of our men sustained
a severe injury to the spine.
We still can't escape blame
under international law.
You opened fire based
on speculation,
- at a person whose identity...
- Don't dump your crap on us!
For f***'s sake.
You've got no information
on this supposed North Korean agent.
Are we even sure we're dealing
with North Koreans?
Who's going to clean up this mess?
Who?
F***...
Berlin unit under Chief Kang.
Prepare to be disbanded.
Mr. Inspector,
disbanding the team isn't
going to solve the problem.
A third country party intervened
at the scene.
A third party?
Give me that.
It's not the weapons
trade we're after.
We're tracking down Kim Jong-il's
secret account worth 4 billion dollars
believed to have been moved from
Macau to Europe before his death.
If we find that account,
we get the upper hand in issues
regarding aid to North Korea.
It's unlike you to make
such mistake.
Yuri is an arms broker wanted
by the US government.
That explains how the South Koreans
knew about the deal.
But Assim is
an anti-American activist.
Why did Israelis show up,
not the Americans?
The leak must have come
from one of three parties.
Either the Russians sold
the information to the Israelis
or the Arab was a double agent
working for the Mossad...
Or it came from us.
Pyo Jong-seong.
Watch your mouth!
Jong-seong,
listen to me carefully.
Do you know who's on his way
from Pyongyang?
Dong Myung-su.
Why would they dispatch an agent
when you're out here?
They don't trust us.
Foreign offices are put under
scrutiny under the new leadership.
Even you, the Republic's hero,
need to be watched.
- Take care where you tread...
- Comrade Ambassador,
have you forgotten
what my job is?
I'm only saying...
I will not make an official
record of your statement.
Is that all I am to you?
An object of surveillance?
You're losing your focus.
These are all speculations at best.
Where is intelligence?
Intelligence.
You gotta do better than
this to transfer to US office.
The agent in charge,
Jung Jin-su,
trouble in Libya, too.
These old-timers hung up
on anti-communistic ideas are just burdens.
I prefer not to see his name
on your next report, understood?
I trust you'll take care of it.
Bring me results.
Man, I told you to stay clear
of Korean restaurants.
Are you pissed off at me
for not covering your ass?
It's my birthday today.
I felt like a bowl
of seaweed soup.
So, I came to this restaurant
where no Koreans come.
For a bowl of home-made soup.
I meant to give you a heads-up
about the account.
But I missed the timing.
That's your excuse?
Timing?
Cut me some slack, man.
This is not some sloppy industrial
espionage job we're dealing with.
I have a political
position to consider.
Screw you.
What political position
with commies?
I don't even make left turns
at intersections.
Anyone in my position
in any organization,
prefers to work with someone
that listens to you.
Do you know what your problem is?
You make people uncomfortable.
Why are you sitting
with someone so uncomfortable?
Fine, I'll get off your face.
What do you want from me?
You can get rid of me.
You can transfer to
the US office.
But our man who got busted
by the commie today,
he'll be confined to a wheelchair
for the rest of his life.
Just do your job.
I'll do mine.
We have a reservation
under the name, Ryun Jung-hee.
Upstairs, please.
He's already here.
He proposed this meeting.
So, he'll pick up the bill?
Didn't I tell you to take off
your wedding band?
It takes more than translation
skills to be a good interpreter.
There was a discussion at the bundestag
regarding North Korean diplomats
who got caught smuggling cigarettes.
...caught smuggling cigarettes.
Why is German parliament concerned
with what happened in Austria?
Didn't we explain that
it was a simple misunderstanding?
If this becomes a pattern,
it's hard for them to help
with our medical supply issues.
