Original subtitles

Good night, 100%. We can have people here within ten minutes. In five

Yuri could turn this whole place into a graveyard.

Right now, we have a high -profile murder wave. No suspects, no clues, and

motives. I didn't hear or see anything.

The next time we meet, I will kill you.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

A great man emerges from the darkness of our homeland to join his comrades in

the light of God and community.

He is a poet, yes, but also a saint of the dispossessed,

a prophet of the imprisoned, the broken, the poor left behind.

He is a voice for those who cannot speak.

Most of all, he is a conscience for those who have none.

Hey, will you guys hurry up? I don't want to be late for this. When did you

so into Russian poetry?

Dmitry Gordievsky is more than just a poet. I mean, his Gulag diaries are a

primary source on neo -tribal adaptation.

When you meet him there, you'll see.

Dmitry is a very simple man.

Oh, yeah, sure. Just everyday Nobel Prize winner. What could be simpler than

that?

To mark the opening of Cascade Russian Arts Festival, he will read from his

work.

Welcome him, Dmitry Gordievsky.

Thank you, Father, for your kind words.

You embarrass me. I'm no saint.

I'm just a mirror who reflects the frailties of our imperfect world.

But for now, perhaps, there are two questions.

Professor Goryezhkin, you strongly supported political reforms in Russia.

you seem to think the Russian church is the only answer. Why?

Ten years ago, things were so bad, even Gorbachev knew we needed democracy.

Now they are so bad, any fool knows our only hope is prayer.

But the truth is that the same ones who ran the gulags secretly ran the stock

exchange.

They were thieves then, and they are thieves now.

Our Lord died between thieves.

Perhaps he can forgive them.

I cannot.

Do you name names?

Of course.

In America, I name names.

Wait,

wait, wait, wait.

There's someone who should be up here with me.

She's the real reason I and many other Russian writers come to Cascade.

Mickey, come up.

Come up.

Somebody help me.

Give him some room. Give him some room.

Doctor.

Call the doctor.

Please, someone call the doctor.

It looks like someone shot him. I didn't hear anything, did you?

Cascade just made the front page center of the Times. That would be the Los

Angeles Times, Washington Times, New York Times. The mayor is real happy with

the publicity.

Now, come on, Jim.

You mean to tell me you didn't see or hear anything unusual?

Nothing, sir.

I don't get it. How many times have you heard a gun being cocked, a trigger

being pulled? I don't know what to say. I didn't hear or see anything.

Look, right now we have a high -profile murder with no suspects, no clues, and

no motives.

Well, maybe the motive was political, sir.

Gorjevsky was talking about government corruption.

I would think the assassination was to keep him quiet.

No, I don't think so.

Government corruption in Russia is no secret. I mean, everybody knows who's

involved there. Look, Tim, I want you to clear your boards and make this top

priority. We need to get our homework done and fast before the feds come in

take over. The way this is drawing ink, the feds are going to be all over this

like a cheap suit.

Nice suit.

Captain Banks?

Agent Maroney.

We were just talking about you.

Detective Ellison?

Meet Inspector Major Katrina Vaslova, Moscow Metro Militia.

Inspector Vaslova is Russia's official liaison with the Bureau.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Captain.

Detective.

Samberg. Blair Samberg. Nice to meet you. Consultant of the Police

Hi. I suppose you're here, Moroni, to tell me that the Bureau is going to be

taking over jurisdiction in the case?

Well, actually, Captain, the Bureau doesn't want this case. We have every

confidence in your department.

That's a good one, Moroni.

What do you want?

We want Inspector Vaslova here to assist you with the investigation.

Why?

Captain, the victim was a Russian national. Inspector Vaslova could be

invaluable to us. Now, given the circumstances, we think it would be

politics.

Very well, then.

Welcome, Inspector Vaslova.

Detective Ellison here will fill you in on all the details.

Captain, I promise to keep a low profile and not to step on...

How do you say, your shoes?

It's toast.

Yes, toast.

This is the round that killed Gordievsky.

Our ballistics lab has never seen anything like it.

It's a 7 .62 Dragunov sniper round. Military issue.

Our special forces use them.

Spetsnaz? Yes.

They have appeared in several recent killings in Moscow.

I'll need to see all those files.

That will be difficult.

I thought we were cooperating here.

Of course.

But you see, the bureaucracy back home is complicated.

I will do what I can.

Jim?

Excuse me.

Mickey, I'm sorry I haven't called. I've just been very, very busy.

It's all right. I understand.

You remember Father Kaspariev from the rally?

The rally. We must see Dimitri's body.

He was a deeply religious man. There are certain rites we must perform.

I'll see to it that... I am afraid that will not be possible.

This is not your call, Inspector.

Actually, it is. This federal warrant issued by your Justice Department gives

the authority to take possession of the body as soon as the autopsy is finished.

I was not aware that the KGB knows what the Cascade Police want to do. I am with

the Moscow Police.

KGB no longer exists.

How silly of me.

I meant FFB.

You see how easy it is to be democratic?

All you need is to change your initials.

I thought we weren't going to step on each other's toes here.

I apologize.

It cannot be helped.

No, Jim, I don't get it.

I mean, even with the crowd here, how in the world can a gun go off and you not

hear it?

What is it?

See that?

That's a telltale. Sailors use it to tell which direction the wind is

Sailors.

Sniper.

There's a line of fire this way.

Jim, what's... I mean, we're half a mile away from City Hall. Who in the world

can make a shot from that distance? Only the best.

Top floor. Corner window. That's where the shot came from.

A padded cell.

Yeah, or a big silencer.

What is that?

It's a Russian coin.

Some snipers, usually the good ones, have a signature.

This is Yuri's.

You know this guy?

Yeah.

They tried to kill each other in Peru.

Colonel Peter Gregorovich Borokov. Codename Yuri.

Spetsnaz sniper.

Eight years Afghanistan.

Hero of the Soviet Union.

Retired in 1993 with 122 confirmed kills.

It's 127.

How is it that an American detective has the knowledge of a Spetsnaz sniper?

Our paths have crossed.

So you also have a history.

None to speak of, no.

Those are the most dangerous kinds.

Snipers usually work in tandem with spotters. Does he have any known

He is unique.

He is a master of surveillance, radio links, data intercepts, night vision.

It allows him to work alone.

And he's now a freelance assassin who contracts his services to the highest

bidder. Any idea who that bidder might be?

A man as outspoken as Gordievsky has more than a few enemies.

Oh, come on now. Even I know for a pro like this to be involved, there's more

than just a grudge going on here.

Perhaps.

I'm just wondering if you have any information about this case that you're

sharing with us.

I'm cooperating to the best of my ability.

I'm sure you are, Inspector.

Look, why don't you take this photograph and show it around Little Moscow?

Perhaps Yuri was interested in a home -cooked meal.

Very good, Captain.

Sabre, you remember the neighborhood?

Perhaps you could draw up a list of establishments for the inspector?

Right, right. Of course. It's a classic American ethnic zone there. It's sort of

like a little piece of Russia right here in Cascade. Board meets cafe latte.

What do you think?

I don't trust her.

Not as far as I could throw you.

We came too far.

It's not great. We're on our way.

Hey, Dan, what do you got? Hey.

I found these in Gordievsky's intestinal tract during the autopsy.

What do you say? Do you have rocks that is a tetra?

I cleaned one up.

Looks like an uncut diamond.

Yeah, not your usual airline meal.

Even in first class.

Yeah. What are you saying? Goyeski was a diamond smuggler?

Okay, good.

I got another customer waiting. Excuse me.

Well, I guess the first thing we do is get these things appraised.

If cut correctly, they would be worth about two million dollars.

Perhaps more.

You could tell all that just by looking at them?

I don't know, Jim. I think somebody knows more about this than they're

on, don't you?

For some time, we have known that large diamonds were being smuggled out of our

Siberian mines. We trade the pipeline to Cascade.

And you didn't think it was important to tell us that?

Until I was sure that Gordievsky and the diamonds were connected, I had orders

to be quiet.

Oh, so much for a level playing field.

We come from very different worlds, detective.

I told you what I could.

All right, look, the important thing is to find out why Gordievsky was killed.

It's time to smoke out his contacts. You know what to do.

Spread the word that we're shipping the body back to Moscow.

His connection, however it is, is probably going to want to make a play

Stones. Let's go.

Jim, you've been putting me off all day, man.

You going to tell me about Yuri?

There's really nothing to tell.

You went up against him as a ranger. You even knew how many kills he had.

Come on, what went on down there in Peru?

The army advisors were training the locals in anti -insurgency techniques.

It was starting to work out until the other side sent in Yuri.

He killed anyone with the guts to stand up to the rebels.

Judges, city officials, priests, all very public hits.

My unit was sent in to take him out. We never even got close.

My best friend down there was this guy named Hector Fernandez. He was a judge,

totally fearless. We all knew he was on Yuri's hit list.

He and his wife had just had a baby girl.

The baptism seemed like the sort of thing that Yuri wouldn't be able to pass

We had him tracked into the mountains, 100 miles away.

Figured, not going to happen at the baptism.

We were wrong.

He doubled back, came into town, took Hector out right on the cathedral steps.

Oh.

Sorry.

Zebra 6, we have activity in the alley behind the building. There are intruders

on the premises.

Roger that, Hector 9.

I have a visual on something.

You got him, Jim.

I think you better get in here.

You wouldn't understand.

I thought I was your friend.

You are.

But you are also a policeman.

Don't worry.

You can talk to me.

Won't that be nice, huh?

Let's go.

Allison. Allison.

that I wouldn't tell you.

He's my enemy.

What are you?

You think I am your enemy too?

I am a Russian just like you trying to solve the murder of another Russian.

You're letting her interrogate Mickey alone?

She thought she could get more out of her. Bad move, man.

She's not going to get a thing.

Your father, he was political, right?

My father was in the camps, if that's what you mean.

That's where he met Gordievsky.

And where did you meet him?

It would be easier to speak Russian. You prefer English.

Why? Russian in the police station brings back bad memories.

Do you think that just because you live here and your friend is an American

policeman that we cannot touch you?

Or your family?

How is your mother in Smolensk? Or your grandparents in Vilnius?

Where will your American friend be when we visit them at the middle of the

night? Go to hell.

You! Outside, right now!

What the hell were you doing in there?

This is called an interrogation, detective.

I don't know what kind of oppression goes on in the old country, but here,

you hit and threaten a suspect...

It blows the case because they'll file charges.

She won't do that.

Why wouldn't she?

Because she won't give me the satisfaction.

To you, she's a hero.

She came to this country looking for freedom.

Well, let me tell you something, detective.

The heroes are not the ones that run away, but the ones that stay behind.

All right, you two, knock it off.

You go outside.

Go on.

You take a walk.

Jim, I've been thinking about this Yuri guy.

Chief, I just need a little time right now, okay?

Just listen to me. This is important.

I mean, you've got your incredibly acute distance vision. He's got his scopes.

You've got your night vision. He's got his night scopes. You've got your super

hearing. He's got his radios and microphones, right? What's your point?

He's a fentanyl. Oh, is that so? Well, sort of, right? He extends his fences

through technology, but yours are genetic.

Yeah, I use mine to protect and serve people. He uses his to hunt and kill.

Right, right, given. My analogy is not perfect, but...

In all predator combat, I mean, even with sentinels, there's got to be some

ritual display.

Is this going somewhere? Yeah, that's why he didn't explode the bomb. That's

he saved your life, because in some way he recognizes you as an equal. And that

was his way of showing it.

Yeah.

I think the thing I miss most about Peru is the food.

The trouble with Moscow is you just can't find a good tortilla.

It's been a long time, Captain Ellis.

I didn't recognize you at first, but then... A man in jungle fatigues looks

different from one in a stylish leather coat.

I get back to the station. Tell Banks that Yuri is on the roof of the Goldman

building. Now! Move it!

What do you want, Yuri?

This is an interesting moment, don't you think?

Here we are, two old adversaries facing off again.

Is that why you called to catch up on old times?

I called to tell you to let the girl go.

She's going to die anyway.

There's no need to hurt innocent people.

Why do you want to kill her?

Ask Vaslova.

The death of Mickey Kamerev was decided the minute she entered that warehouse.

There is nothing you can do to prevent it.

The smugglers will be stopped.

You killed a friend of mine in Peru.

It's not going to happen again.

I killed many people in Peru.

I don't even remember their names. It stops here.

Then I wish you luck, Captain.

But know this.

The next time we meet, I will kill you.

We've reached the rooftop, Jim. There's no sign of Yuri.

Where's Voslava? In the break room with Sandberg.

Moscow must be pretty exciting these days, huh?

Divergent cultural pressures. They must be enormous.

Cultural pressures, Mr. Sandberg?

The city is falling apart.

Yuri told me to ask you why Mickey is a target. Now, what the hell does that

mean? Now, no more lies.

The Russian economy, it is crumbling.

Diamonds are one of our few stable sources of income.

Smuggling threatens its stability.

If too many diamonds are sold, the value of our stones goes down.

They cannot allow that to happen.

They? They who? Who are we talking about here? The Russian government?

There is more than one Russian government.

There are the leaders everyone sees, and then there are the people who are

behind them.

These people will do whatever it is necessary to protect their interests,

if that means hiring assassins. So that's who hired Yuri, this shadow

government? Yes, to stop the smuggling.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

I come from a country of secrecy, detective.

In Russia, we thrive on suspicion.

Being open is a sign of weakness.

Perhaps there is something I can learn from you.

Captain Banks, you have a call on line two.

Excuse me.

Banks, sir.

What?

Well, stall her, damn it.

Mickey Kimmerer has just made bail.

Come on, Mickey, this is stupid. The guy that shot you could still be out there.

I'll take my chances.

You got Dimitri. He almost got you with the warehouse. I mean, at least in the

station you're safe.

When I left Russia, I swore I would never be in prison again.

Oh, good. There's a lot of good that's going to do when you're dead.

Live free or die.

Isn't that the American way? This is suicide. We've got to be out here

Watch out!

My seven moves!

going on here? Sorry about the dramatics, Ellison. We weren't able to

of the operation.

And what operation would that be?

Well, as soon as we learned that Miss Kamarev had been released on bail, we

decided to move her to a protected location for her own safety.

Where are we?

Delta Station. It's a safe house.

You had no right to bring me here.

Well, actually, we do, Miss Kamarev.

Your green card has been temporarily revoked, and we're taking you into

pending the outcome of your immigration status.

Who are you trying to kid him, Roni?

I know what's going on here.

The agency wants Yuri, and they're going to use Miss Camera if you're his bait.

They probably even put up her bail.

You are right.

What's she doing here?

Inspector Veslova is here as a consultant.

This is now a joint FBI -CIA op. The agency has wanted to crack at Yuri for a

long time. This is their chance.

How do I figure into this?

Now, given your history with Yuri, we felt that your continued involvement

prove useful.

What makes you think I want to stay?

Because you want to protect Ms. Kamarev. And you want Yuri just as badly as we

do.

Ground effect radar, random motion sensors, infrared scanners, and audio

detectors inside and outside the house.

This is a geostationary platform with online on -command image control.

gives us an infrared image of the house and surrounding area.

That's us right there.

Now, if Uri shows up within 2 ,000 yards, this will pick him up.

Very cool.

Moroni's pulling out.

How many minutes are we leaving down here? I suggest you get a couple more up

here. A lot more.

The idea is to draw him out. We put a circus out there. He's not going to

Besides, we've got a million dollars worth of state -of -the -art equipment

there, and there's no way he can get past all that. He's done it before.

Trust me.

We can have people here within ten minutes on the scene. In five minutes,

can turn this whole place into a graveyard.

Where's Jim?

He's still checking out the perimeter.

Is he still angry with me?

Yeah.

There's something you must know about the diamonds.

They were not for me.

They were for the future, for Russia.

The Myrne diamond mines are the last of the KGB empire.

They were dug by Zeks.

Prisoners. Like my father, like Gordievsky.

That's where your father died.

Those who killed him still run the manis.

Only now the mani doesn't go to the state.

It goes straight into their pockets.

So we decided to use their own diamonds to help build a new Russia.

Gordievsky knew people in the manis are new people in the West.

Father Kasparov uses the church to filter the cash back home.

Yes. We dream of the same thing.

A free Russia.

Only our methods are different.

Hey, Jim.

Anything going on outside?

No. Not yet, but he's out there.

I can feel him.

Something in the woods. Looks like an intruder.

under attack.

Yuri's tapped into the security system.

That's impossible.

Your two men have been hit. He's using your own satellite to target our heat

signatures. Now shut it off before somebody else gets killed.

All right, all right, we'll shut it down. I'll call you back.

I don't understand. The satellite picked him up only for a moment and he

disappeared. He was probably covering up his body heat somehow, a thermal

blanket or something.

It popped out long enough to get our attention.

Why would he do that?

Get us all in the same room so he can pick us off one by one.

Okay, we turned it off. How bad is your situation?

He's using explosive rounds, firing wide.

Now send backup.

We've got a team coming, and they're five minutes away.

What's that?

Did you hear that, Moroni?

That's a landmine. Your men are going down.

And I suggest you send in the air support.

We can't do it.

And I'm telling you, Ellison, we can't risk the men. He could blow my guys

out of the sky. Now, just sit tight and we'll contain the perimeter.

This is going to be our last call. He's probably listening in. Over and out.

Moroni!

We're on our own now.

All right.

You're in charge here. I want you to listen to anything she says. You do it,

okay? You stay with Mickey.

I'm going after him.

You sure about this?

He's lost his sight.

I've got the advantage now.

It's been a long time.

What's happened to Jim?

He'll be back.

If he was coming back, he would be here.

You're wrong. You don't know Jim.

He saved my life before. He'll do it again.

If he is dead, Yuri is coming for us. We cannot wait for that.

I think we should stay here.

That's what Jim told us to do.

I'm going outside to have a look around.

You know, I really think that's a bad idea.

I don't.

What are you talking about? We can't do that.

Go. I can't protect myself.

Come on. Come on. Stay low. Stay low.

Jeff, come on.

And you are with us forever.

With us in every moment.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Get behind that stump. You stay put. I need to know where you are. I'm going to

distract Yuri, all right? All right. Come on.

Come on.

Because you're going to stand trial.

Your country will pride me for the next kidnapped American.

Why did you have him taken out, Mulroney? God, thank you, Ellison. Your

in danger.

I was trying to keep him alive so we could stand trial.

We could take a lid off this conspiracy.

But that's not what you wanted.

Who gave the order?

The agency?

It's over, Ellison. You survived.

Now let it go.

I was wrong about you.

The world is changing.

Perhaps we were both wrong.

If you ever get to Moscow... It's not very likely.

You never know.

You might go there on a case someday.

I know many good restaurants.

There is one I like especially.

Burger King.

I seem to owe you my life again.

Well, that's our job.

About the diamonds.

I already told him. I'm sorry about your father.

I shouldn't have lied to you.

It was no way to treat my guardian angel.

I think she'll go to jail. I doubt it.

The powers that be want this whole thing swept under the rug.

FBI isn't going to prosecute him, and I have no problem with that.

What about Urie?

So far, no sign of the body.

He couldn't have survived the shot and the ball.

You sure?
