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 anything.
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.
00:58These women are not most people.
01:01You could have killed someone.
01:02I didn't know his clothes 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?
01:24It's better than sitting in the dark.
01:27You're here because you want answers and because you want to get one step closer to what you really want.
01:33It's all connected.
01:34Oh my god!
01:35We know how dangerous this guy is.
01:36He's probably assassinating hundreds of people a day.
01:37Hundreds?
01:38We're thinking hundreds.
01:39Well, I don't know.
01:40Well, I don't know.
01:41But even if it's one, it's like a lot.
01:45Moscow rules.
01:46Moscow rules.
01:47Moscow rules.
01:48You see the car?
01:49Mm-hmm.
01:50That's the KGB.
01:51To them, I'm a POI.
01:52A person of interest.
01:53But you two are PONIs.
01:54Ponies.
01:55Persons of no interest.
01:56I don't care about you.
01:57I don't care about you.
01:58I don't care about you.
01:59They don't care about you.
02:00I don't care about you.
02:01You hear the car?
02:02That's the KGB.
02:03To them, I'm a POI.
02:05A person of interest.
02:06But you two are PONIs.
02:08Ponies.
02:09Persons of no interest.
