international moscow express
now departing track 2.

pardon, madame.

woman:

aah!

you put something
in the moscow wagon.

where?

nothing.

let's take him.

i've got no money.

i'm poor.

move. move!

that's enough, neckerman.
that's enough.

neckerman, lose the car.

john, hang in here and see
if anyone comes looking

for these kremlin hotshots.

right, leroy.

airport, please.

jawohl, madame.

you're seven minutes late,
harry.

traffic.

let me patch this in
and get it decoded,

and then we'll talk.

elsa.

hello, harry.

i thought you two might be
happy to see each other.

you know, uh,
kiss and make up.

oh, we're working the same
circuit again, huh?

so what's it going to be
this time?

friendship?

no, thanks.

then what do you suggest?

something like a more
reasonable relationship?

that's what
we have now, harry.

i don't understand.

we have nothing at all.

ready to hear playback.

this is angelo, tape 15 --

the last tape i'm sending you.

our next contact will be
of a more personal nature.

friday next, milan,

la scala opera house,
midday tour.

elsa: that's only
three days from now.

if you have been correctly
analyzing recent intelligence,

then you must be aware

of our little disagreements
here in moscow...

sounds like
the angelo faction

is losing ground
to the hawks.

yes, but how much ground?

unfortunately, the militarist
hard line is prevailing.

if unchecked, this could only
lead to disaster.

project "winter harvest"
has been reactivated

under the direction
of colonel nikolai bunin.

agents throughout europe will
be equipped with the weapons

for possible activation
in the event of crisis.

he's talking
about biological warfare.

i thought "winter harvest"
was buried.

not if bunin's involved.

let's hear the rest
of the tape.

my knowledge of the details
of the plan is incomplete.

however, bunin's is not,

and i'm coming out
before it is too late.

the colonel is presently
in zurich.

if "winter harvest"
is not stopped now,

we shall all
pay the consequences.

see you at the opera.

fascinating.

i fail to see where
i fit into all of this.

initially, we brought you
into the operation

to take over security
for the angelo connection.

i know that.

now i've got to keep you
aboard to protect angelo.

and elsa?

elsa?

she's been angelo's
primary contact.

now, look, harry...
angelo is big,

and we don't want
to lose him.

now, you heard the tape.

i heard the tape.

kind of short notice,
isn't it?

see you at the opera.

and now let me show you
my favorite composer.

he was born
in a small village,

very poor,

but he had such musical talent

that, uh...

it's late, man.
there's no sign of anybody.

yeah, and we don't even know
who we're looking for.

but the family
and the village recognized

an exceptional musical talent.

that's why he was sent to milan
to study in the conservatory.

see, giuseppe verdi.

he was able, with his music,

to capture the soul
of the milanese

and the italian people,

and that was
before the independence.

now let me show you
the auditorium.

here they are
rehearsing "nabucco,"

the opera by verdi.

angelo here.

this is crazy. not you.

yes, it is me.

move.

let's go.

down!

come on.

let's move!

thank you.

molinari's here.
let's move it.

second chair.

there is a green mercedes
following us

with three men inside.

we'll try to take them out.

we're ready.

better use the belts.

guard: alto!

guard:

pleased to meet you,
miss lang.

our snapshots
and our film clips of her

do not do her justice.

this is one
of your safe houses

i didn't know about.

well, if you had,
it wouldn't be.

they'll know about it
tonight.

you'll be gone by then.

where to?

the promised land.

too soon.
i'm not ready to go yet.

general,

before we discuss your plans
or our plans,

i think it's important
that you provide us

with the names and locations
of all secret agents

and operations
you have any knowledge of.

it's for your safety
as well as ours.

da? wrong time,
wrong place.

thank you.

you see,
angelo has an agreement

with washington --

see cassette number two --

that i am not
to be debriefed

until i arrive safely
in the united states.

mr. haller,

i want colonel wargrave

in entire charge
of these proceedings

until further notice.

that's perfectly
all right with me,

but i will have to check
with washington.

after all, general,

you are the third
most powerful man

in the soviet union.

oh, no, sir.

i am the first
most powerful man

in the soviet union

now that i have left.

i could bury you
in a missile site.

no good.

we have to give them
a chance.

we have to let bunin
have a chance to kill me,

because you see, colonel,
if we get bunin,

we stop project
"winter harvest."

how long?

till i say enough.

there are two messages
here, rudi.

one -- milan failed.

i didn't know that there was
anything going on in milan.

well, i did.

you see...general marenkov
has defected.

save your surprise
for another time, rudi.

that's what
you call a friend.

there's a second message

i'm afraid
you won't like, either.

this is your authorization
from marshal prachko

to turn over to me

the entire clandestine
military intelligence setup

under your control
in europe.

they're in deep reserve
in case of war.

i know that.

it's been my chief concern,
my sole responsibility.

it's taken years
to set them up.

listen,
marenkov knows too much.

we're no longer involved

in an ordinary
intelligence operation.

we're pretty close
to a political crisis.

my orders are to eliminate
marenkov at any cost.

so, therefore,
i need the best,

the most secret forces
we have hidden in europe.

they have been yours,
and now they are mine.

so, locate marenkov
in milan.

alert all
your first-strike units

in switzerland and italy
on a war basis.

would you like me
to choose you a tie?

yes, very much.

gentlemen.

well, mr. haller,
how do you like me?

ordinary enough for you?

general marenkov,
what is your plan?

my plan is to force bunin
to destroy himself

by trying to destroy me.

how?

that's where
i need your help.

i do have
a little proposal.

we take the atlantic express
from milan

by way of zurich, basel,
germany, belgium,

rotterdam, amsterdam.

first class, no doubt.

right.

the train -- you really
think it's worth the risk?

we don't know. for us
he's just a piece of luggage

to be delivered safely to
washington for them to unpack,

but we'll use him
to flush out

bunin's whole secret military
intelligence operations

in europe -- people they've
had buried for 20 years,

agents held in deep reserve
for potential all-out war.

they're going to have
to try everything

and everybody to get him,

and we clean them out,
if we survive.

she took me
to st. petersburg

where both her brothers lay

and when she took me
home again

she said,
"life is hard today"

woman: attention.

atlantic express
now boarding

on platform 12.

atlantic express...

woman:

woman: aah!

elsa.

elsa, i've got
some bad news.

it's about harry.

what?

they shot him
leaving the elevator

with the baggage.

a sniper. harry's dead.

elsa, i'm sorry.

i'm very sorry
for you and harry.

i'm sorry for all of us.

wargrave is reported dead.

who gave the orders
to shoot him?

i didn't. i don't know,
perhaps moscow?

i am moscow.
i didn't give such orders.

we're not
his only enemies.

well, try to find out
who killed him.

we are trying hard,
comrade colonel.

yes. send her up, please.

but why did marenkov defect?
why would he?

how should i know?

how should i know
what's going on

in a man like this?

i don't understand it,
either, but...

you see, reasons before
the fact are predictions,

and reasons after the fact

are what astronomers
call "noise,"

sounds that don't signify.

we know he has done it.
let's undo it.

let her in.

nikolai.

olga.
so good to see you.

everything all right?

perfect.

wonderful.
let me see it.

oh, good. good.

good. excellent.

we have all
the information we need.

marenkov is on
the train, rudi,

with a half a dozen
carabinieri.

it will take a special
operations attack.

that we have.

here are the numbers,
the names, and the codes.

call them, call lugano.

strike operative.

and alert
our andermatt team

to be ready
for backup operation.

come. let's have some tea.

mmm. this smoking
is just killing me.

you know,
i was just thinking.

what?

i was just thinking

i might have to get myself
on that train,

but the problem is

marenkov knows me too well.

don't we have someone
on the train?

yes. we have a mole
in the last two cars,

and a mouse
in one of the others.

man: you are now entering
switzerland.

have your passport
ready for inspection.

you are now entering
switzerland.

have your passport
ready for inspection.

general?

have you any interesting
news for me, gentlemen?

nope.

the soviets haven't even
announced your defection.

they're waiting
to announce my death.

a bit premature.

have you announced
colonel wargrave's death?

coffee?

no, thanks.

do you hate me?

i didn't kill him.

excuse me.

lots of snow
on the mountains this year.

plenty of snow
on the ground, too.

unlike us,
it goes where it pleases.

what about some coffee?

ja, ja.

danke.

coffee?

despite the snow,
it's on time.

the atlantic
is five minutes behind.

you hungry?

no. bored.

sit down, elsa.

please.

we have nothing
to talk about.

yes. we can talk
about you,

about wargrave,
how you met.

it could be one of your
more amusing stories.

an embassy party in paris.

i was so pleased
with myself --

young,

foreign correspondent,

woman.

and he fell in love
with all three of you.

all two.

well, after a passionate
week of flattery,

we ended up
at the usual restaurant

with the usual candlelight

and elsa, eager to say yes
to anything.

he leaned across the table,
took my hand, and he said,

"would you drop off
a little package for me

in yugoslavia?"

and that is how
he recruited you?

thanks.

but he loved you.

no.

i loved him.

please, i have to use
your telephone.

i have to get a doctor.

please. hurry, please.

you have a wife,
don't you?

yes, almost.

tell me.

you like sad stories?

they're the ones i know.

after the war,
i was a young officer

in command
of a remote region

in white russia.

i fell in love
with a young woman.

like you,
she was a natural leader,

and, therefore, like me,
a communist party member.

they were always calling her
away on emergencies,

and i was stuck
in this town,

little more than
a village really, just rural,

but i loved her.

i wanted to marry her.

so one day i said,

"it's now or never."

the day before the wedding,
another crisis.

they called her away.

she told me she would
be back for the ceremony,

no matter what.

so the guests are all
gathered together,

i am dressed
in my best uniform,

the band is playing,
the bears dancing.

there's joy and laughter.

suddenly, the telephone --

it's a stranger's voice.

there'd been an accident.

she has been driving too fast
to get back to our wedding.

she was dead.

i told nobody.

i held the entire ceremony
without her,

without the bride.

i even danced with the bear.

i know you
were married, general,

and i know your wife
committed suicide.

call the swiss at lugano.

find out what the delay is
on the line before evere.

lieutenant.

it was joseph stalin's
last days,

the nightmare days.

every night
when i came home,

my wife used to ask me,

"how many of your friends

have you sent
to prison today?"

she was not a party member.
we had terrible fights.

every time i'd come home,
she used to nag me.

she used to shout,

"what kind of leaders are you
who are afraid to be killed,

"leaders who are afraid
to die?

leaders must lead."

i'd shout back.

i used to shout,
"what do you know?

what can i do?"

but you see,

one night when i came home,

she had killed herself.

and you waited
all these years for revenge.

i had to have the patience

to wait all these years
for revenge.

man: 12, 609.
signal 68 is red.

anything?

there's an unauthorized
stop signal on the track,

and if we try to pass it,

it cuts the power.
the train will be stopped.

then we'll be attacked.

prepare to defend the engine.
sound the red alert.

leroy, john!

get back inside
and close the door.

turn off those lights!

everybody
in their compartments

and stay on the floor.

woman: aah! help us!

harry: on the floor,
everybody, on the floor!

i'm going to help elsa.

from haller to elsa.

from haller to elsa.

john's coming to help you.

okay, read you.

elsa?

wargrave.

harry.

where's john?

oh, cute, harry,
you tricky bastard.

where's john?

he's in the back car
with elsa and marenkov.

harry! harry!

marenkov! elsa!

elsa!

you --

where's marenkov?

i don't know where he is.

you were supposed to
be with marenkov.

harry: marenkov!

marenkov, it's wargrave.

how are you, harry?

damn cold out here.

colder than moscow,

but too hot in that train.

well, it will
be cooler now.

haller: so you didn't
trust any of us?

had to play it on your own.

i had no choice.
only colonel molinari

had no connection
with the original group.

if there was a mole
among us,

it had to be haller, leroy,
john, neckerman, or elsa.

so the colonel arranged
the sniping.

i played the victim.

you suspected
every one of us?

why not?

you suspected me.

you never suspected
yourself, of course.

i always suspected him.

when he told me,

"if the train is attacked
and stopped,

get out and hide
in the snow,"

i thought he wanted me
to freeze to death.

molinari: but he didn't even
tell me where you would be.

relax, colonel.

we're still alive,
aren't we?

harry...

i liked you better dead.

signal andermatt.
tell them to go ahead

with the operation
on the wasserhorn,

and then abandon
everything in zurich.

oh, by the way,

the real golchak
doesn't smoke.

what? doesn't smoke?

unh-unh.

oh, that will kill me.

the weather is clearing
around biasca, airolo,

the st. gotthard canyon.

very bad on the other side
of the mountain --

blizzards of hurricane force
building.

find out if the davos
weather station helicopter

can survey the pass.

if the weather holds,
i'm sure they'll try.

this is where i'd try
my best shot if i was bunin.

there's no way
to protect the train here.

there's no way
to protect the train here.

atlantic,

this is davos
airmobile one, on station,

now surveying your route.

stand by, atlantic.

the helicopter is out.

they'll give
direct reports to us

and check avalanche situations
along the route.

it's uphill from now on,
all the way to goeshen.

well, elsa.

elsa.

i'm sorry.

i had to use you.

don't feel bad, harry.

i only cried
crocodile tears.

atlantic,

davos one.

we have entered
into the pass.

will attempt to overfly
wasserhorn summit

and report conditions.

stand by, atlantic.

we're getting the first reports
from the davos helicopter.

stick it on the horn.

atlantic, davos one.

have sighted two skiers
on wasserhorn summit.

repeat --

two men on summit.

i hear you -- two skiers.

we are going in
for a closer look.

avalanche.

atlantic, they have
set off an avalanche.

it's falling
towards the village.

your only chance
is the tunnel.

elsa, get haller
and leroy.

engineer, we are in
definite avalanche danger.

give me everything
you've got -- all speed.

you'll be safe if we can
get to the tunnel.

i know about the tunnel.
can we get there in time?

not at this speed.

what would happen
if we lost a few cars?

about three? maybe.

three? good.
take it, neckerman.

elsa, get marenkov
up to the dining car.

leroy, get me a couple
of pounds of plastique

and an automatic detonator.

molinari, have all the people
move beyond the dining car.

haller, we're going to
uncouple the last three cars

to see if we can
get some speed

up the hill
into the tunnel.

everybody out.
this is an emergency.

everybody out.
take your luggage.

everybody out.
take only your hand baggage.

come on.

everybody out.
this is an emergency.

out, please.

aah!

it's frozen.
forget it, harry.

i'll have to blow it.

everybody back!

3, 4, 5!

down!

move!

haller: the explosion
must have disconnected

the battery system.

molinari: yes, but we're
still moving along.

in a moment,
the grade begins to go down.

we'll be able to coast
down to the next substation,

where we automatically pick up
power for the train again.

leroy: harry, we have
two more flashlights.

that's the first time
you've kissed me

where half of it
didn't belong to uncle sam.

that half
was scared to death.

i don't like this world.

an avalanche
to kill marenkov,

one lousy russian defector.

elsa, i got you into this
long before i loved you.

professor golchak.

yes, sir.
you have a reservation.

218, sir.

thank you.

here i am,
dr. heinz golchak

or colonel nikolai bunin
or as you please.

professor heinz golchak.

i'm taking a chance
of meeting you

because by now your
cover story is in danger.

i came for help.

sit down.
geiger, sit down.

for a change,
listen to me.

your group, having pulled off
an idiot attack

to free some of your people
awaiting trial in hamburg,

ended up killing
20 innocent onlookers,

and are now holed up in
a miserable hovel in willich.

but i have to help them.
that's why i'm here.

i have a proposal to help.
i offer you a clear deal.

there's a soviet freighter,
the maxim gorky,

off the coast of rotterdam.

once aboard,
your people will be free.

the freighter's
on its way to angola.

you will be safe there.

they'd accept that.
what do you want them to do?

what they always do --
blow up something.

i want the atlantic express
destroyed,

and i want it to be a full
geiger group operation

in the geiger uniform
with black ski masks,

windbreakers,
boots, and pants,

and no survivors
on that train.

i'll need a guarantee
of their escape route.

so do i. i'll be on
the train and on the gorky.

i've got colonel scholten
on the telephone.

he'll take over when
the atlantic gets to holland.

he also warns
that the german police

reports the geiger group
is somewhere in willich.

they're obviously waiting
to cross into holland.

scholten? wargrave here.

can you hear me?
then listen carefully.

i want you to let
the geiger group through.

yes, yes. i know we're
the probable target,

but i want you to let them
through, have you got that?

right.

attention all passengers.

the atlantic express
now boarding on track 16.

man:

it's all right, gentlemen.
i know what it is.

i carry
a diplomatic passport,

and as such, i don't have
to submit to this,

but as a courtesy
to the swiss government,

i'm happy to oblige.

collecting books, are you?

well, i'm selling them
at an auction

in sotheby's in london.

in england? aha.
that's all right.

thank you.

certainly.

the atlantic has left.
send a signal to willich.

why don't you
get some sleep?

it's quiet.

marenkov's asleep,

dreaming up history,

leroy's up in the engine,
ready for anything,

haller's writing a report
about nothing,

and i'm watching the store.

and i'm watching
the night roll by.

you want coffee?

no. thanks.

what could marenkov want
out of this for himself?

a better life for himself.

how do you know?

who wouldn't?

don't forget, elsa,

he's a monster...
with feelings.

that makes him human.

mr. scholten.

woman: welcome to holland.

scholten.

good to see you.

welcome to holland.

have your
passports ready, please.

have your
passports ready, please.

julian.

haller.

scholten.

neckerman.

any news?

something new.
something different.

there's a russian freighter,
the maxim gorky.

it's lying right outside
our territorial waters,

bobbing up and down
like a piece of cork,

and going nowhere
instead of to angola.

they're picking up
agents, i hope.

trying to, i guess.
but so have we.

good.

any sign of bunin?

nah, nothing.

i think i'm going to check
train security again myself.

i'm going to take it
man for man.

i'll follow along, haller.

coming, harry?

oh, no. i'm babysitting
our teddy bear.

in the car
right behind the engine,

the rear toilet,

the welded piece next to
the ceiling will come out.

inside are four grenades,
two pistols,

one submachine gun,
planted there in milan

by a man i had there --
philip john.

i cannot make my move
until the scholten group

returns to the rear
of the train.

they will by the time
you have to start.

we still have more than
20 kilometers to go.

i'll join you up forward.

passports, please.

conductor: danke.

soon, we won't have time.

we'll be across the bridge
and then rotterdam.

there'll be plenty
of time.

stay here.

give me one
of those grenades.

we'll meet
at the speedboat, huh?

hello.

hello.

hello.

stay still. listen.

move...or we're all dead.
come on.

turn around.
turn around!

if you shoot me,
the grenades explode.

we all die.

slow up the train.

stop it before the bridge

or else i open my hands.

open that door...

wide!

stop it. stop it! go back!

hey, take it easy.
it's stopping.

man: everyone get down!
we are under attack!

man: everybody down!
get down!

go! go!

go!

woman: aah!

bunin! bunin!

scholten: it's geiger.

he's dead.

harry, bunin got away.

not yet.
what about the rest?

20 of them...dead.

and bunin's on his way
to the gorky, huh?

now's our chance,
harry.

the chopper will
catch bunin.

let's take advantage
of it, scholten.

we'll take the whole bunch
and the freighter.

half the deep cover agents
in europe are on that boat.

that's war. you'll make it
an international crisis.

what do you think this is?

it's just another
geiger group attack

on a dutch train.

everybody's used to
terrorism these days.

harry,
don't you understand

that terrorism
is anybody's bomb

until you take
their masks off,

until they are
no longer anonymous?

so let's gather up the dead
and put them to work.

schnell! schnell!

harry, come on.

harry: cast off the bowline.

harry:
scholten, take over.

i hope i can remember

how to handle
one of these things.

topside, everybody.
give me hand.

all right, cover up.

fire!

aah!

fire two!

well, i guess
we made first prize.

general?

we've just received some
intelligence from moscow.

with bunin gone and project
"winter harvest" exposed,

it seems the hawks
in the politburo

are out of business.

and what did they say
about general marenkov?

nothing. just silence.

i'm sorry for him.

he knows
he can never go home.

he's all alone with himself.

what about us?

maybe we should start
working on it.

marenkov singing:
...wisest things

she wanted me to know

harry and
marenkov: she took me

to st. petersburg

where both her brothers lay

and when she
took me home again,

said, "life is hard today"
