[bunniefuu]

MINSK, BELARUS

[tense music playing]

[tense music continues]

[man] Empty. Object isn't here.

Take DNA samples and
get out of there.

Do you think he's alive?

He spilled everything
and then they k*lled him.

You didn't manage
to find the mole.

Skiner's not there,
and your agent is next.

Great work.

Congrats.

EASTERN GATE

[tense music stops]

[people shouting
in the distance]

[man] The Ministry of Foreign
Affairs is still deciding what to do.

They gave no instructions.

They're going to send a team to
check the embassy and deal with...

transporting the body.

That's great.

And our team?

It isn't safe for us here.

Well, then, I'll
take any suggestions.

All right.

This is the plan for now.

While the powers that
be check the rooms,

some of you will go to
the American embassy.

Those that do will be with
the chargé d'affaires,

and the rest of you will go with me to
the office of the Poles in the East,

who should... provide our
people with some protection.

We'll bring the cars into the
yard and assemble downstairs.

Madam Consul, you'll be with me.

And don't touch anything
on your way out.

Okay. That's our plan.

Excuse me.

[distant shouting continues]

Did you hear? We have to go.

It wasn't supposed
to go like this.

[moody music playing]

[crowd in Russian] Go home!
Go home! Go home! Go home!

[in Russian] Go home! Go
home! Go home! Go home!

[in Russian] Go home! Go home!

[Olaf] It'll be a miracle
if we ever come back here.

[crowd in Russian] Go home!
Go home! Go home! Go home!

[in Russian] Go home! Go home!

[shouting continues faintly]

[car horns honking]

[moody music continues]

[music becomes
quiet and dramatic]

[music stops]

What you said back there...

How else should it have gone?

[birds calling]

Huh?

I really did care about her.

How was it supposed
to go, Michal?

[knocking on window]

[distant siren blaring]

[siren getting louder]

As long as you need, you're
more than welcome to stay here.

[Helena] Chargé d'affaires asked that no
one leave until the situation is clear.

[Lemanski] Of course.

[people chattering]

[Ewa] Was it tough in jail?

Really standard.

Baton whacks and tedium.

And you? How you doing?

You know.

[Ewa sniffs]

This could have
been anyone of us.

- [cell phone vibrates]
- Sorry. Excuse me.

Not a problem. Bye.

Blazej.

We located the place
they kept Skiner.

But we were too
late, he was gone.

The agency wrote
him off. You get it?

Skiner's gone for good.

They won't be looking for him
anymore. They say he started talking.

Makheyko is dead, and
you might be next.

If you don't find the mole soon,
the agency will write you off too.

Ewa, you have to act fast.

[Ewa sniffles]

[disconnect tone]

[in Russian] Everybody
leaves a trace.

- [in Russian] Everybody.
- [electronic bleep]

Got it.

Here's our Yuliya Petrova.

[mysterious music playing]

What is this?

[man] It's a frame
from some video.

That's the source.

- [Ewa grunting]
- [man] Stop! You're gonna k*ll him!

[in Russian] Gather more information
and get our passports ready.

We all need to calm down.

We can't just go like we're
lambs to the slaughter

and wait to be
k*lled one by one.

First, Consul Niedzwiecka,
now Inka Nawrot. Who's next?

I know how you feel, and I
categorically disagree with violence.

You're just another Russophile!
A wolf in sheep's clothing.

How much more of
this can we allow?

They keep harassing us more and
more, and you won't do sh*t about it

but spit in our faces
and tell us it's raining.

- You're ridiculous. He's crazy!
- Gentlemen.

We need to keep our calm and
remember we're in this together.

- [man] Why aren't you protesting with us?
- Right.

[man] Belarusian
authorities deprive us

of even our most basic
national minority rights.

Repressions aren't enough for them.
Soon they'll k*ll every single person.

- There's no time to wait.
- We mustn't act irrationally.

[continues indistinctly]

[mysterious music continues]

[music fades]

[traffic noise]

[people chattering]

- Helena, is Michal back yet?
- [Ewa breathes deeply]

[Helena] No, he probably
stayed at the US embassy.

[Olaf] There are so many
of us. Where do we sleep?

[Lemanski] We have three guest
rooms. You're well aware of that.

You've used them before.

[Olaf] That's why I don't
think we'll fit everyone.

[Lemanski] We'll improvise.

[Olaf] Let's draw matches.

Short match is penal colony, which means
you get to sleep on the floor like a dog.

Long match, guest room.

An hour ago, we
received information

that Russians forces are moving
and regrouping their units.

There are no announcements of
joint manoeuvers with Belarus.

So far, they've moved six tactical
groups from Grodno to the Suwalki Gap.

Three a*tillery brigades
are moving from Kaliningrad,

with the 5th and 9th
regiments of Spetsnaz.

And on the Barents Sea,

they have positioned numerous
fourth-generation submarines.

Each likely with ballistic missiles
with thermonuclear warheads aboard.

[sets object down]

We have to be ready for
any possible scenario.

General, the floor is yours.

[people chattering]

They're not made
of Egyptian cotton,

but they ought to be enough
to keep you from freezing.

It's perfect. As a kid, I
used to camp on a foam pad.

This is everything
I need and more.

Naturally. Some people were
much luckier in the draw.

- Like this f*ck, Olaf. [chuckles]
- [Ewa] Mmm.

Oh, speak of the devil
and he will appear.

By the way, congrats
on the lucky draw.

Look, I came to propose
a bit of a trade.

If you want the, uh...

If you'd like the guest room,
then I could post up out here.

No. That's nice but
too much trouble.

But the good man is offering you
such incredible luxury. Take it.

Ewa has a mind of her own, and you
can stop this good man business.

Take it.

[contemplative music playing]

Thank you. That's
very kind of you.

Thanks again.

Well, goodnight.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[contemplative music continues]

[woman moaning
passionately on video]

[Ewa] f*cking hell.

And where are you off to?

[contemplative music fades]

[Ewa] To smoke a cigarette.

With a briefcase?

[Ewa] With a briefcase.

What's in there?

[Ewa sighs faintly]

Look, I think you're a
little into me, Olaf. Hmm.

Come on, let's go to
the room. Come with me.

Wait. Hold on.

Stop! Stop it! Let go!
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

[sobbing] Leave
me alone! Tadeusz!

- Ewa!
- Leave me alone!

Please stop! Tadeusz!

[Lemanski] f*ck off!

- [Olaf] She wanted it.
- [Ewa continues sobbing]

[gasping]

[gasping faintly]

I knew that son of a
b*tch was up to something.

[Ewa sobbing faintly]

It's okay now, you're okay.

I don't think that I can stay here
tonight. I have to get out of here.

[Lemanski sighs]

[Lemanski] It's impossible.
Helena controls all the exits.

Will you help me
get out, please?

[Lemanski] Hang on.
I'll find a way.

Right away.

[receding footsteps]

[sniffs and clears throat]

[sighs]

Sorry. I didn't
have a better idea.

[sniffles]

Thanks, Tadeusz.

Here, I'll walk you to the door.
Just to be sure you get in safe.

I don't think security
should see us together.

Well, it's up to you.

Listen, that f*ck who tried
that bullshit, he, uh...

You should report him.

To our camp counselor?

That as*h*le, Olaf, is no saint.

He was a very serious problem.

When he was here during his first
tenure with Consul Niedzwiecka.

She told me about it herself.

He seduced her, dumped
her before he left,

said to go back to her husband.

She barely recovered from that.

She really loved her daughter and
had plenty of reasons to live.

She wouldn't have
done it on her own.

Take care of yourself.

[car door opens]

[car door closes]

[door closes]

Apologies for having a
meeting at night, sir.

These recent events
don't concern us alone.

No telling who will be hit first.
Ukraine, maybe the Baltics, or us.

Well, these things are
of the utmost urgency.

Hm. You're doing a
commendable job, Director.

- Most impressive, if I say so.
- We try.

Please make sure you
stay right by my side.

And help me ensure an avoidable
w*r doesn't break out.

It won't, we'll make sure of it.

[minister] Hm.

You're the master of
a*s-kissing, Mr. Director.

- Did you find him?
- Skiner? No.

And Ewa?

- Still alive.
- Bring her back. Enough of this.

We need to halt our operations
until the Gap calms down.

- It isn't going to calm down.
- That's a f*cking order, you understand?!

So shut up and do
as you're told!

[door alert rings]

[sniffs]

There you are, my little Michal.

- [door alert rings]
- [door opens]

[ominous music playing]

[shuddering]

[Ewa gasps faintly]

[music becomes
quiet and dramatic]

[music fades]

I think there were
four or five of them.

I was taken c*ptive by Koslov.

But then, more arrived,
and I didn't know...

whose men they were.

And they all started
sh**ting at each other.

That's when Koslov's guys
were finally distracted.

I knew that was my only chance.

I took it and I ran. I
ran as fast as I could.

You don't believe me.

You're safe. That's all
that really matters.

On behalf of myself and
the government of Poland,

we'd like to thank the allied forces
for their presence on Polish soil

and for joining us
today. It's appreciated.

All of our soldiers, along
with the American Army

work around the clock at high readiness,
day and night, to ensure a safer world.

General.

[fly buzzing]

I am pleased we're meeting in a place
of immense strategic importance.

Russia's as*ault on the
Alliance could start here,

with an attempt to
seize the Suwalki Gap.

This would drive a wedge between two
countries on NATO's eastern flank:

Poland and Lithuania.

The primary aim would be to isolate
the Baltic States and to make their...

- What?
- We can no longer locate Tamara Sorokina.

Completely vanished
into thin air.

[general] ...that would secure
a direct link between Belarus...

- Let me know of any developments.
- Of course, sir.

The Suwalki Gap is
part of NATO territory,

and we are committed
to defending it.

Every inch of it.

We have news on the rooms at the embassy
that the premises have been checked

and we're cleared to resume
work back at our own facility.

They only found poison
in the water bottles

belonging to Consul
Klemensiewicz's.

[people muttering]

We're green-lit to go back.
So let's be quick about it.

Let's pack our
things and go home.

[people chattering]

Are we going together?

Yeah, I just need to take care
of a couple of things first.

[distant birds calling]

[Skiner breathing deeply]

[cell phone ringing,
phone picks up]

- [Lange] Hello?
- I'm back. I'm safe.

Good.

We'll need a specific
and detailed report.

[Skiner] I know the procedures.
Somebody turned me in.

- Someone in the embassy.
- We know.

Let Ewa work. Don't
leave the safe house.

Wait for instruction.
Get ready to return.

To the field?

To Poland.

[disconnect tone]

[cell phone silenced]

[Ewa] I think I know
who turned you in.

[Skiner] Finish the job for me.

[moody music playing]

I'm going.

[people chattering]

Helena, the poisoning was
an unnecessary tragedy.

What are we doing to make sure
this doesn't happen again?

I should've been made aware that
your father was Russian earlier.

[scoffs] That never was a
secret at any point, all right?

[Helena] Hm.

And if there's something
that you're insinuating,

I would prefer if
you just say it.

Ladies, please. This isn't the place to
be tearing into one another now, is it?

You're not incorrect. And I'll
counteract the growing aggression here.

- I'd like to request a day off.
- [scoffs]

- [Olaf] Now?
- That's right.

Is that a problem?

[Helena] In the event Michal
doesn't come, just call a taxi.

[Ewa] I thought you
told me "no taxis."

[Helena] You can do whatever
you want on your day off.

Why wouldn't Michal pick me up?

We haven't been able
to reach him today.

Maybe Inka's death shook him
up more than we thought it did.

[moody music continues]

Take mine.

You sure?

Yeah, it's gonna be safer.

Okay. Thank you.

[car horns honking]

[door shuts]

[Lange] Skiner's back.

He came to the
safehouse in Minsk.

Wow, isn't that a miracle.

Tell me, how is that possible.
Assuming he didn't cooperate?

We had no additional losses
after he was compromised.

Well, apart from one sleeper.

I'm of the mind even if Skiner
changed to the other side,

that there's much more to gain if
we pretending we don't know it.

- So we let him betray us again and again?
- No.

My recommendation is we play the
game until we catch him red-handed.

Instead of condemning an innocent man,
we don't have the details or facts.

Skiner's one of our own. I prepared him
for the job, and that means something!

Is Ewa back yet?

No.

That's great. Are you f*cking kidding
me?! Do you not understand orders?!

- She's okay at the moment.
- Aaah!

And she'll keep an eye on Skiner,
just so that we can be sure.

But if you insist, I suppose...

Sit on your a*s! We've
got bigger issues.

Remember, it might be
one of their tactics.

To make us doubt our own
personnel and tear us apart.

I know you like mentoring others,
but don't tell me how to do my job.

[contemplative music playing]

[birds chirping]

[dog barking]

[panting]

[door creaking]

[Michal] So you
really are a spy.

- Want water?
- [Ewa chuckles faintly]

It was you who set up that
businessman from Poland, wasn't it?

And now, it was Consul Klemensiewicz
you were after but it didn't work.

I loved her.

Who gave you that
poisoned water? Huh?

Poor Michal.

I need names.

I don't know.

[shuddering] I never saw them.

- [Ewa] Hm.
- [Michal exhales]

Did they also make you have an
affair with Consul Niedzwiecka?

[gasps painfully and grunts]

[gasps painfully]

How did they contact you?

[Michal panting]

How?

[grunts]

[coughs]

The Church of Saint
Mary Magdalene.

They give me instructions
in a prayer book.

During afternoon service.

[panting]

And how do you know when
it's time to pray there?

[screaming painfully]

[Michal sobbing]

I get a tweet.

[Michal sobbing weakly]

[cell phone bleeps]

[Michal gasps weakly]

- [gasps]
- Username?

- Say it.
- f*ck you!

- [thud]
- [painful gasp]

It's Smartie and
the Cookie Monster.

Smartie and...
Cookie... Monster.

[Michal gasping]

And then what do you say?

They'll finish you anyway.

[Michal groans]

[gasps painfully]

[Ewa] What do you write when you
have something to report? Huh?

"Seeking reassurance."
All right?

"Seeking reassurance! [gasps]

- Seeking... reassurance.
- [sobbing]

See? We got to the bottom of it.

Where there's a will, there's a way.
One more time, to be on the safe side.

[panting]

[Michal gasps]

Is it him? The businessman?

Yes.

But so what?

There's nothing you
can do about it.

The fact that they sent you here
means you're a useless pushover,

just like Niedzwiecka.

[bottle cap clatters]

No. No! No! No!

[gasping]

[sputtering gasps]

[moody dramatic music playing]

[weak sputtering gasps]

[coughs]

[weak sputtering gasps]

[gasping stops]

[moody dramatic music continues]

[Ewa] He's gone.

[Ewa panting]

[gasps]

[moody dramatic
music intensifies]

[Skiner moans faintly]

[both moaning]

[both moaning loudly]

[Ewa shudders]

[moody dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[man] This is a sample of the
footage from Sorokina's glasses.

The data suggests she might be
gathering material for a dirty b*mb.

See right there?
That says sesium-137.

Which we know came from the Zaporizhzhia
Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

We've mapped the disposition
of cesium-137 in the area...

[Lange] Meaning?

That isotope can absolutely be
used to produce a dirty b*mb.

It blows up, radioactive material
gets dispersed everywhere.

- Great.
- [cell phone vibrating]

- How big is the area?
- [door shuts]

With this isotope?

- A kilometer or more.
- Thank you. What's up?

We just received the information
from border crossing in Terespol.

Our nuclear engineer crossed
the border to Poland just now.

- Just now?
- One hour ago.

For f*ck's sake.

Find Blazej.

[Skiner breathing deeply]

You love Ewa Oginiec?

That's a test question.

Are you in love
with Ewa Oginiec?

Yes. You know I am.

When you were interrogated,
was it by General Kozlov?

Yes. And sometimes someone else.

Did you tell them the source?

- Did you name the informant.
- Yes.

Only one.

Name?

Makheyko.

Did you tell them about me?

No.

Are you a Russian spy now?

No.

Are you a Russian spy now?

You've really
changed a lot, Ewa.

[lie detector sensors peeling]

[alert on cell phone]

TODAY'S SERVICE

LEAVE IT IN THE BLUE PRAYER
BOOK, SECOND FROM TOP

[quiet moody music playing]

This is the only
family Ewa has left.

Her sister Paulina.

And her nephew Kajetan.

They need to be evacuated.

Immediately.

Has Ewa been told yet?

[music becomes tense]

[tense music becomes dramatic]
