The Berlin File Page #2

They need to set a clear position

on the matter...

We payed him up

out of empty pockets.

And that's all he has to say?

22:
00,

Hackescher Market tram stop

All I need is the grounds

to convince the parliament.

You know how things work.

Everything needs

to be recorded in Germany.

He is so shamelessly blatant

that it makes me blush.

Sick bastard.

Take a good care of him.

He wants a more personal gesture.

They need to set a clear position

on the matter.

We payed him up

out of empty pockets.

And that's all he has to say?

All I need is something to...

What brings you here?

Without calling me.

It's late.

Wash up and go to bed.

Take a good care of him.

- Let me look at your wound.

- It's not necessary.

Any news from Pyongyang?

What news?

We're way past due to return.

We don't make decisions.

We follow orders.

We can at least apply

for relocation.

When did the comrades at the embassy

last had their self-criticism?

Can't you just ask me

why I want to go back?

I guess I thought wrong.

I forgot that you're Republic's hero

before you're my husband.

Oh my God.

Help!

Somebody!

There is a dead woman here!

Waitress commits suicide

by overdosing

Let's find a new way to meet up.

Kids these days

they try these fancy

new techniques

always end up gettin'

their asses handed to them.

And these guys like you and me,

two old dogs,

with old tricks,

- but we're still kicking.

- Enough with the old dogs.

You really makes us sound old.

I hate yo break it to the pal,

but we are old.

So, what can uncle Marty

do for his favorite ally?

I need to know

if that guy's in your database.

A North Korean?

White or Black Ops?

A ghost.

You heard about the Westin Hotel

kidnapping two days ago,

didn't you?

He was there.

And You were there too?

Ah, f***...

You knew my team was

tracking Asim and his network!

Way to bend me over the barrel, pal!

I had no time.

If I got that f***ing commie

I was gonna hand over

the others as my Present.

What the hell with your present.

You told me you'd leak any intel

you had about the North's weapons deals!

And now,

you tell me the sh*t hit the fan.

Hey! Shut up.

Please.

I got you

a very special present.

I got you

a very special present...?

Look.

A guy named Sigmund,

who is the German ODA

vice-minister

had a meeting with

the North Korean ambassador.

At the end, the ambassador told

his female translator

to take good care of Sigmund.

I'm going home

at the end of the month, alright?

The only thing I want

on my plate right now,

- is my wife's home cooking.

- Hey. Hey, old dog!

Sorry.

Your Foreign Affairs would love it.

What got you delayed?

I had to take care of

something upon my arrival.

I wasn't informed of your delay.

Watch this and you'll understand.

Back then,

orders never contradicted each other.

They all had the same voice.

That's not how things work now.

The new Comrade Commander

doesn't like the old ways.

You recognize that woman?

Yes, it's my favorite restaurant.

Germans like it, too.

So do the South Koreans.

They suspect you have a leak

in Berlin office.

It's not possible.

The most trustworthy is

the one to be watched most closely.

Comrade Stalin said that.

Did you inform

the Party about this?

I made a record of it.

Wouldn't it be better coming

from you than from me?

What if there is no evidence?

The Party says there is

a leak and you disagree?

That means the Party is wrong.

It makes the Party incompetent.

Say that again.

Who sold the information?

The woman...

The interpreter for the embassy

who made a reservation

under the name,

Ryun Jung-hee.

The waitress was an informant

for the South Koreans.

You know the accusation is false.

Are you suggesting that

Dong fabricated the confession?

Whether it was fabricated

or not isn't important.

Your wife's name

came up in an inquiry

conducted by the Security Department.

A name that Pyongyang wanted to hear.

If you try to defend her

when the Party says she's guilty.

That makes

you guilty, too.

There is no solid evidence

other than this confession.

Even you said that

the leak about the weapons deal

could have come from us.

For someone in my position,

you always have to have an answer

if not an alternative.

How much time do we have?

48 hours.

There's storm coming,

but no place to hide.

Are you sure it was this woman?

Yes.

How's work these days?

Same as always.

What you said

the other day about Pyongyang...

Do you want to go home?

Let's not talk about that.

I believe we can live

with our heads held high

even if we are poor.

Our facial recognition analysis

found three men showing over 85% match.

These two have plenty sources

for lD verification.

Bring up the travel agent.

But there is hardly any record

nor pictures of this man.

I only found one

taken at a culture promotion event.

Gotcha.

Ouch! Damn it.

- Hey! Interested in something hot?

- What?

A North Korean official stationed in Berlin

just filed for defection.

To America?

No, he's asking for political asylum

through the UN to some third country.

When's next contact?

What brings you to call me

at this hour?

I have to drop by the embassy.

Did you have lunch?

I'm on my way to

the Parliament library.

I can't have lunch with you.

I'll see you at home, then.

Moran Peak 4639

requesting Comrade Ryun's

signing out record.

The next station is

Brandenburger Tor.

Negative.

Is the Parliament library

close to Brandenburger Tor?

It's at the Bundestag station.

Next to the Parliament building.

What's in Brandenburger Tor area?

Embassies.

US and British embassies

are in the area.

This is a confidential communication.

I'll report it myself.

Are you going out?

You didn't say anything to me.

US embassy

When is the next...

When is the next contact?

When is the next...

When is the next contact?

Long time, Comrade.

Still have two more days.

Did you put a tail on her?

I'm not here about your wife.

How can a perfectionist like you.

Let this happen under your nose?

Something doesn't add up.

Is that an official statement?

We'll know soon enough.

I'm not accusing you of anything.

The guilty will stand

for their crime.

Why are you really here?

It's a sticky situation.

And it's a matter outside my authority.

One happy family.

There is a reactionary

seeking political asylum.

Someone from the embassy.

It's Comrade Ambassador.

Comrade Lee emptied out

the embassy's strong box.

This device will self

destruct after checking

Your password will be verbally

confirmed upon point of contact.

The agent key-phrase is,

It looks like it's going to rain.

Your answer, verbatim, is,

But I've lost my folding umbrella.

Your password will be verbally

confirmed upon point of contact.

The agent key-phrase is,

it looks like it's going to rain.

Your answer, verbatim, is,

But I've lost...

This is the time

and venue of rendezvous.

What's taking you so long?

What?

What's taking so long?
