The Trust Test

1
What, now he's suddenly a defector?
We believe he is with the Americans,
in a secret location.
First, you say he's a KGB agent,
now he's defected to the CIA?
It makes sense
if he's a double agent.
Bastard!
Send an urgent extradition request
to the German chancellor.
-Their Home Affairs too.
-We'll use unofficial channels too.
Tell them Godeanu is
a bloody murderer. Use all we have.
Ruin him, slander him!
Compromise him!
Or even better,
leave for Germany now.
Find him and kill him.
Pay an assassin a million dollars.
-Whatever it takes!
-Move!
We have to interrogate every bastard
who worked for Victor.
The Security's on it already.
We have to make them all suffer.
His family most of all!
Don't you see it?
-Are you sure it's here?
-Yes.
Dad wouldn't send us just anywhere.
Hello, Dr. Urdea.
My name is Ileana Godeanu.
My father talked to you
about a small intervention.
What intervention?
He told you I'd come
with a friend for
For what? Not an abortion, I hope.
That is illegal.
-Ileana, let's go.
-Wait. I can talk to my dad.
He ran off to the Americans.
I doubt you can talk to him.
-Not true.
-Unless you're following him.
-It's not true.
-Ileana, let's go!
Listen to your friend.
What do I do now?
My dad will kill me!
-We'll find a way.
-I'll have to do it myself.
-No, you could die.
-I'll find a way.
What way, Ileana?
If your dad's with the Americans,
you're finished too!
-Adela? What are you doing here?
-Hi, Daniel.
Missed me?
-Do you have a minute?
-Sure.
I want to return to acting.
I wanted to tell you first.
A little birdie told me you're doing
Shakespeare, my first love.
Yes, dear, in theory.
But it's impossible
in the current situation.
Hello, Comrade Godeanu.
Please follow me.
Right now?
I was having a conversation.
Your husband defected to the CIA.
It's a joke, right?
What?
That can't be. Victor wouldn't--
Comrade Elena Ceaușescu wants
to see you.
Now.
Hello, Elena. Comrade Academician.
You can go, Mircea.
Tell me all you know.
I don't know anything.
Your man ran to the CIA
and you don't know anything?
I found out just before I came here.
I'm as shocked as you are. Angry too.
I can't believe he did this.
-He betrayed us all. You had to know!
-I didn't know.
Elena, Comrade Academician.
Our marriage had long been
-We've had problems, we barely spoke.
-So what?
What wife doesn't know
what her husband is doing?
What if he slept with some CIA broad?
You'd have to be a complete idiot.
-Victor never discussed work.
-You're lying!
You had him wrapped
around your finger.
You're an actress.
Former actress.
Comrade Academician.
These last few years,
all I asked was for him
to care about our marriage.
And if he betrayed his country,
he should die. It's what he deserves.
Ileana, Comrade Ioan Albescu,
from the Party.
Your father
Your father, he left us.
He's in America now.
-Defected to the CIA.
-No, Dad would never do that.
I wish it wasn't true, but it is.
I'm sorry,
but your father is a traitor.
A minute, my dear.
Wait, you're working with him?
It's just a small business.
Since when is my brother
a businessman?
Don't be disrespectful, Safiya.
You know he's been so kind to us.
Thank you.
The Secret Police is here!
Sorin, is this about you?
I have to hang up,
they want to search your office.
I want a secure line to Romania.
They called me back to Bucharest.
My wife is very worried.
It's our fault,
we should have watched for signs.
-Will they arrest me?
-We're innocent.
We didn't break any protocol.
There are gaps in my reports.
For more than 30 minutes,
I didn't know
where comrade Godeanu was.
If you weren't vigilant,
it's your fault.
Put me through to Mircea Voinea
in Counterintelligence.
-I contacted all agents in the area.
-I'll be there tomorrow.
-Our orders?
-We take him out.
We'll need all the details
we can get. Make a plan.
I don't have all we need
to avoid drawing attention.
Don't worry,
I got some things moving.
Why the Netherlands?
We have our jobs, this is home.
We can make a new home there.
We'll have a better life.
Have faith, Safiya.
Don't touch that! It's Jabare's.
-Let's go.
-All right.
Calm down.
What is this? Why is Jabare armed?
-For protection, don't worry.
-Be careful!
-I have to go.
-Where to?
Don't let Jabare drag you
into his mess!
Don't say that! He's your own blood.
Ceaușescu would say anything
to get Godeanu back.
We don't even know
if any of the accusations are true.
Do we know if he's still in Germany
or in the US already?
The Americans are keeping mum.
If he's in their military base,
it's German territory,
our jurisdiction.
If he's in their embassy,
I'll ask Simpson, he owes me one.
We must know if he's talking
and what names he's disclosed.
Excuse me. Should I join you?
No.
She's recently been questioned
regarding Godeanu.
-Do you have reason to suspect her?
-No.
But maybe we should reconsider.
Carter won't answer my calls,
fucking imperialist!
That idiot farmer!
We have to discredit Victor
everywhere,
make the Americans drop him.
I can't do that now!
They'll think I was an idiot
for trusting him all these years!
Nicu, look at me. You're the victim.
Make them all see
this monster coerced you.
Right. I know what I'll do.
What's going on? I need to know.
Nothing's going on,
just a business opportunity.
-You're no businessman.
-It's important. You should trust us.
I trust Omar, not you.
He's simple, you're smart.
You manipulate him.
Don't blame me.
He can look after himself.
Look, I know you're my brother,
and I do love you.
But I'm scared.
You disappear for months at a time,
now you suddenly show up.
-I don't want trouble.
-Trouble?
I wasn't trouble
when Omar and you needed me!
-I helped you--
-You always want something in return!
-If you mean our parents.
-Leave my family alone!
-I am your family!
-You are my worst nightmare!
Safiya, I thought
you took the day off.
I have to talk to you.
What happened to your cheek?
Come in.
Have a seat.
What happened, did someone hit you?
Talk to me.
I can't.
Talk to me.
You can tell me anything.
My husband Omar and my brother,
they're plotting something.
They have weapons!
I'm afraid someone's going to die.
Why have you come to me?
-Who sent you?
-No one.
Who do you work for?
Who sent you, Safiya?
No one!
Hey.
You are my only friend here.
I need help.
Please.
I told you! They're here for us.
Stay here.
-Ileana Godeanu? Come with us.
-Let go! Mum!
