00:01How long you been here?

00:02Six months.

00:03And what does your husband do?

00:04Communications envoy for the associate to the US ambassador to the USSR.

00:09Stop it.

00:10Come on, we both know what our husbands really do.

00:14Earlier this evening, a small single-engined aircraft crashed.

00:21Both of your husbands were on that plane.

00:23What?

00:24We need answers.

00:26There is no reason for us to bring more Americans into the country

00:28unless they're key to our intelligence work.

00:30Then let us do that.

00:31We're women.

00:32People only look at us if they want to have sex with us or marry us, and that's it.

00:36No one would ever expect us of any of us.

00:39We would like you to perform the duties of a secretary.

00:42I thought you had a real assignment for us.

00:44Yeah.

00:45I mean, we're gonna risk our lives to learn how to use a Xerox machine.

00:48You don't know how to use a Xerox machine?

00:52This job demands sacrifice.

00:55Most people are not cut out for it.

00:57It's time.

00:58But these women are not most people.

01:01You could have killed someone.

01:02I didn't know his coat was flammable.

01:04Everything is flammable once you light it on fire.

01:07We've never gotten this close to high-level KGB before.

01:15We have a ball.

01:16What if the answers you discover hurt more than not knowing?

01:25It's better than sitting in the dark.

01:27You're here because you want answers.

01:29And because you want to get one step closer to what you really want.

01:38It's all connected.

01:40Oh, my God!

01:41Oh, my God!

01:42We know how dangerous this guy is.

01:44He's probably assassinating hundreds of people a day.

01:46Hundreds?

01:47We're thinking hundreds.

01:48Well, I don't know.

01:49But even if it's one, it's like a lot.

01:50What?

01:57Moscow rules, B.

01:59Moscow rules.

02:00You see the car?

02:01Mm-hmm.

02:02That's the KGB.

02:03To them, I'm a POI, a person of interest.

02:06But you two are POI's.

02:08Ponies.

02:09Persons of no interest.

02:36And you can't...

02:38I've got an answer.

02:39You're a POI.

02:40That's good.

02:41I've got an answer.

02:43I eat it.

02:45I think I'm gonna go...

02:46After all, I eat it.

02:48I eat it.

02:50You're gonna be happy now.

02:53I eat it.

02:54I eat it.

02:56I eat it.

02:58I eat it.

03:00I eat it.

03:01I eat it.

03:04I eat it.
