Running With Wolves

Okay. She's headed up now.
[DOOR OPENS]
Your friend is clearly out of practice.
I picked him up eight blocks ago.
- You're in a hurry.
- Op went sideways.
You're not the only one
whose cover's blown.
I need your help.
[DRAWER CLOSES]
Told you everything.
- Well, then they clearly lied to you.
- [SCOFFS]
That is not their style.
I need you to set up a meeting.
Can't do that.
Zoya.
[SIGHS]
You know better than anyone,
if Sokol is real,
a whole lot of people are gonna die.
Can you live with yourself knowing
that you could've stopped it?
I'll get you a meeting,
but not until after I'm out of Vienna.
Thank you.
Jack.
Good luck.
Let's go, super spy.
She set the meet?
So she says.
Tell me again why you trust her.
Because she has no reason to lie.
I know she's telling the truth.
[SCOFFS] Oh, you do?
[CHUCKLES] Good, good.
Just seems like a lot
to bet your life on.
Well, you know what, Mike?
It doesn't look like
I have a whole lot of options, does it?
Listen to me. Hey.
You're about to cross a line,
and there may be no going back.
Because I'm trying
to do the right thing.
This Sokol Project is real.
And I believe you,
but I also believe you're not
the only one who can stop it.
Who do you suggest I call? Miller?
He's a prick.
Hang anyone to save his own skin.
I mean, Wright, she's
a hard-ass, but she's fair.
She's a political animal,
just like the rest of them.
You know what? She made her choice.
What about Greer?
I can't put him in any more danger.
And you neither.
So, listen, if you have to
walk away, I understand.
So you have thought it through.
Yes, I have.
Then I'm in. I got your back.
- Just hope we don't die.
- Me, too.
- [BUSY CHATTER]
- [PHONES RINGING]
This is an FBI Extraterritorial Squad.
They're only interested in Ryan.
The NSD's spearheading this.
Who's in charge?
Said his name is Harris.
I'd appreciate you not
turning my office upside down.
We'll put everything back
just the way we found it.
We're here to enforce a warrant
charging Dr. Jack Ryan with
violating the Espionage Act.
Jesus, Jack Ryan is a lot of things,
- but he's not a traitor.
- That's not my call.
This goes all the way up to
the Director of National Intelligence.
We have a rogue agent out there.
What's in his head makes him valuable
to any number of foreign entities,
so we're bringing him in.
We need to limit their access.
I need you to track down Zoya Ivanova.
She's the only one who knows
who Jack's source is.
- He's bound to go after her.
- Got it.
[GREER] What's the political situation?
[WRIGHT] NSD's coming for Jack.
- FBI's acting on a warrant.
- On what charge?
- The Espionage Act.
- Jesus Christ.
They're calling him a traitor?
Didn't even read me in.
Looks like you're not the only one
with a foot on your throat.
Look, I'll do everything I can
to get to Jack first.
Have you got to President Kovac yet?
Not yet. It's not the CIA's job,
nor mine to get involved
in NATO business.
We can't force her hand, but
we can present the evidence,
hopefully get her on side and
buy us some goodwill back home.
You're in a unique position
as head of Russia House
to offer counsel.
You worked together
when she was running I.S.
- She'll listen to you.
- Yeah. I guess we'll find out.

Captain.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I know you were friends.
He had very few.
As do you.
There are rumors that you have refused
another admiralship.
What good can I do behind a desk?
Old man and the sea, huh?
[ALEXEI] My condolences.
Your husband was a great man.
Thank you for coming.
[SURIKOV] If you need anything, Natalya,
please know I'm always at your service.
Find who did this.
Dmitry will not rest until you do.
Nor will I.
[PEN WRITING]
Is he here?
I wish you had informed me
of this visit in advance.
He's always been straight with me.
Something that has been
in short supply lately.
He's CIA.
They never reach out without
wanting something back.
I know how the CIA operates, Radek,
- but that's not him.
- [DOOR OPENS]
[GREER] Madam President.
[ALENA] Mr. Greer.
Radek Breza, my head
of security, meet James Greer.
- Why don't we take a walk, James.
- Mm-hmm.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Oof.
We both know this isn't a social visit.
We also both know that
we surveil the Russian
government and they surveil us.
The NSA has transcripts
of Dmitry Popov's phone calls.
Those conversations
were with President Surikov,
advising him not to alienate
the Czech Republic
by moving farther into Eastern Europe.
But Dmitry was a hardliner.
No, he appeared to be a hardliner.
That was how he was able to save face
with the more right-wing in his party.
But you and he were
on the same page all along.
And it may be what got him killed.
Now, the new Defence Minister,
that's another story.
He disavowed everything
Dmitry agreed to.
Yeah, and moved Russian
troops further into Ukraine.
- How much farther?
- [CHURCH BELL TOLLING]
All the way to the Slovakian border.
Now, I wanted you to know
because if you act now,
we could move our NATO missiles in.
We could force a retreat.
Our countries share intel.
Why am I just hearing of this now?
I assumed you wouldn't treat your allies
the same way as your enemies.
I forgot the CIA likes to play God.
I'm telling you this as your friend.
And you expect me to trust you.
Not expecting, hoping.
Now, I know you're being
pressured by all sides.
I also know that you're
not one to be pushed.
I'm just here arming
you with information.
The decision about what
you do with it is yours.
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Oh, my God.
Do you know how much this car cost me?
Well, you knew it was a hunt.
Where did you think it would be?
In Monaco?
I thought the fucking
road would be paved.
Apologies,
Mr. Zubkov, Mr. Lychkin,
for the remote location,
but there are so few places now
where one can still hunt wolves.
- Welcome.
- [SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Mm.
Come, come.
[SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Bags.
[ZUBKOV] So the item we have agreed upon
has been acquired and is on the move.
Good.
And the cost?
It's 20 million.
This bank token
will give you access to a secure account
with the money.
Half now, half upon delivery.
But before we complete the transaction,
there have been errors
we need to address.
First, the matter of the CIA officer.
Which is being handled.
Second, your daughter.
Your influence with her
seems not to be as strong
as you had indicated.
I mean, it pains me to say it,
but I'm I'm not the only one
thinking it may be time
for a change of leadership.
Sarhan. Sarhan.
It's fine, Levan.
Sarhan's money has been instrumental.
He deserves the right
to voice his concerns,
and he's right, there
have been setbacks.
But these obstacles have been overcome.
You have my word on that.
Everything is on course.
I hope that addresses your concern.
For now.
Good.
Then let us concentrate
on the reason we are here.
[RIFLE RACKING]
What have you got?
Uh, Vienna airport this morning.
She arrived around 6:00 a.m.
[WRIGHT] Good.
If you were able to find her,
you can be sure Jack did.
You think he's there?
I'm counting on it.

- I'm helping you bring him in.
- No way.
Look, this guy's worked
my station for ten months.
This is already blowing back on me.
You got a good read on him?
Better than you.
He's in Vienna.
You want him, we better move fast.
[SIGHS]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLING]
[GREER] What's happening
with the Popov investigation?
[CAHILL] We traced the money
in the assassin's account.
Went through a number of private banks.
Still can't definitively say the source.
But you think
the Russians are behind it.
This has all the earmarks
of one of their ops.
- [PHONE VIBRATING]
- Well, I need to review
the footage from the stadium.
Sure. I'll have one of
my analysts pull it for you.
Excuse me.
[TRISTAN] There's been a development.
I'm listening.
So what about our deal?
[GREER] Uh, I can get you a GS-13.
Now that's a pretty nice pay bump.
- They think Jack's in Vienna.
- Vienna?
How the hell did he get
from Athens to Vien
[SIGHS]
Fuck me.
You're late.
I was shopping.
Something about all this feels off.
What?
[JACK] Popov is President
Surikov's top advisor.
The guy may have been a hawk,
but he was never gonna
condone nuclear war.
Check this out.
Nineteen eighty-six,
this dude volunteers
to be a Chernobyl liquidator.
Volunteers to be one of the guys
to deactivate a reactor
after a meltdown? Jesus.
Well, obviously, it stuck with him.
One of his first orders
of business as Defence Minister,
he pushed the INF Treaty
between the U.S. and Russia.
I mean, this guy has always been
against the nuclear option.
Sucks he's dead.
Or convenient.
What do you mean?
Who stands to benefit
the most out of all this?
The new Defence Minister?
You think he offed his predecessor?
I'm saying it's a very powerful
time to have Surikov's ear.
[PHONE VIBRATING]
- November.
- [GREER] How's Vienna?
[MIKE] Mind telling me how the
hell you got my private cell?
Yeah. Put him on the phone.
[MIKE] Hang on.
- [JACK] Hey.
- Good to hear your voice.
Well, thanks for Tony.
You're alive, aren't you?
Are you with Wright?
Ah, she found out I was helping you,
and she pushed me out.
I'm in Prague, looking
into the assassination.
Now, look, I can only imagine
what's going on in your head right now.
Maybe you don't know who to trust,
so I'm just gonna tell you this,
and you can take it or leave it.
The NSD
sent FBI agents to Vienna to arrest you.
On what charge?
Treason.
Wow.
So Wright's taking this all the way.
No, not Wright. Miller.
He didn't even read her in.
But she managed to tag along.
Did you tell her about Mike?
[GREER] I think both of you are in
way over your head, and
every day you're on the run,
you're digging a hole that you
may not be able to get out of.
Well, that doesn't answer my question.
Hey, you're the traitor, not me.
Funny.
Listen, what have you
found out about Popov?
Uh, that almost nothing adds up.
No definitive money trail,
no footage of an assassin.
The witness has disappeared.
Let me ask you this.
What if this whole thing was planned?
I'm just saying, this doesn't
feel like Russia as usual,
and we should look into it.
I will. And, Jack,
the Russian that's chasing you,
I know him.
He's Alpha Group.
- Alpha Group. Fun.
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
I got to go.
It's her.
Eleven o'clock. Track six.
[MEN CHATTERING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[PETR] Our last guest
- has just arrived.
- [CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Sorry to be so late.
A word?
To Dmitry.
He was a good man.
You thought highly of him.
I learned from him.
He shared many of our beliefs.
But not the most important.
- No.
- Hmm.
I hope all is well with your daughter.
My daughter does not concern you.
We need those NATO missiles
on Czech ground
or the project will not succeed.
She has always had a strong
will and a strong mind.
Those are things I would never change.
She's Russian, whether
she knows it or not.
My father was a soldier,
a hardened man.
The only time I saw him cry
was when the Wall fell.
Because he knew it was over.
He never had the illusion
that the Soviet Union was without fault,
but Mother Russia was everything to him.
When it collapsed,
everything he fought for
no longer had meaning.
When I asked him why
he was crying, he said,
"We were once the most
feared nation on Earth.
We were the monster
that kept the rest
of the world up at night".
Now we wage cyber wars.
We disrupt and we inconvenience.
Oh, it's clever and cost-effective,
but war without cost is meaningless.
Without cost, we have no identity.
We've become him.
Why are you telling me all this?
To remind you how important this is.
We only have one chance
to restore ourselves
to who we once were.
We cannot allow arrogance
to get in the way.
My friends, please, take a glass.
When I was a child,
we didn't have ice cream or soda.
- We had kvass.
- Mm.
I invited you to show my thanks.
Our cause has many supporters
but few benefactors.
I'm grateful for your generosity.
As they say, a great ship
needs deep waters.
You are those deep waters,
- my friend.
- Mm.
- [SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
- [REPEATS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Let's go.

[GREER] Okay, right there.
- Level "B".
- [KEYS CLACKING]
And the next one.
Level "J". Twenty-eight.
- And you don't have any footage of the shooting?
- Nope.
They knew exactly
where the cameras were.
[SIGHS] All right, get up.
- Let me take it for a drive.
- All right.
[SIGHS]
[MOUSE CLICKS]
You all right?
I just hate train stations.
Watch any movie, nothing good
ever happens in a train station.
[KEYS CLACKING]
[RAMI] Okay, guys, I'm in the system.
I've got eyes on you.
[MAN SPEAKING FOREIGN
LANGUAGE OVER P.A.]
Hmm.
[MOUSE CLICKS]
[KEY CLACKING]
[PICKS UP PHONE RECEIVER]
[DIALING]
Can I ask you a favor?
Can you get us into the stadium?
Yes, tonight.
It'll make sense once we get there.

[MAN SPEAKING FOREIGN
LANGUAGE OVER P.A.]
[RAMI] All right,
where shall we send you?
How about Semmering?

[WOMAN SPEAKING FOREIGN
LANGUAGE OVER P.A.]
[INDISTINCT AIR TRAFFIC RADIO CHATTER]
We got him.
- Where was this taken?
- Vienna train station, platform nine.
We'll have all the details
by the time we land.
[TRAIN HORN BLARES]
[ELECTRONIC BELL CHIMES]
[GRUNTING]

[GROANS]
[GRUNTING]
He can't talk if you keep hitting him.
[GROANING]
[BEEPS, CHIMES]
[GRUNTS]
Do you know who I am?
[JACK GRUNTING]
Don't try to lie.
The drug will be taking effect.
Luka Gocharov!
What did our scientist tell you?
Nothing!
Who is your source?!
[GRUNTS] I don't know.
[GUNSHOT]
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
There was only water in the syringe.
We have much to discuss and little time
if we are to stop Sokol.

[PANTING]
- Agent Pavlok. Welcome to Austria.
- Thanks. Let's go.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[LIGHTS THUMPING]
I don't like this.
You made that clear.
Wait for me here.
[GREER] Sorry to bring you here,
but you may be able
to help me with something.
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
- Let's get it over with.
- Security was too tight
for Tibor Kasal to enter here
with a weapon.
So someone planted it inside.
Or the shooter was already armed.
You're saying it wasn't Kasal?
No motive.
No means to pull
something like this off.
Not to mention that he was
Tasered before he was killed.
He was just a pawn.
- In whose game?
- I'm not sure yet.
But the deal that you were
making with Popov
may not have had the unanimous support
that you were hoping for.
This was an inside job.
James, what am I really doing here?
There were no cameras
on the second level
and no footage of the area
where Kasal was found.
But you may have seen something
that you don't remember.
I was hoping bringing you here
might help you visualize it.
All right.
If I'm going to relive it,
may as well go all the way.
What happened before the shot?
We were headed this direction.
I mean, just talking.
Even security was surprised
at how well we were
Huh.
What?
Huh.
Radek wasn't with me when Popov was hit.
It was chaos. I mean, players scattered,
both sides scrambling
to get us to safety, but
Radek must have left before the shot.
He knew exactly where he was going.
You can't possibly think
he's involved in this.
- There's no way.
- Well, I've seen all the CCTV footage,
and he wasn't here when Popov went down.
He was upstairs, perfectly
positioned to kill Kasal.
We've-we've been friends for years.
Radek's a patriot.
- He couldn't be a part of this.
- Yeah, well, I know it's hard,
but we have to examine every angle,
consider every possibility.
Especially the one that's
staring us right in our face.

- [LEAVES RUSTLING]
- [TWIGS SNAPPING]
[QUIETLY] Come.
We've been out here too long.
Luck may not be with us.
A wolf pack can travel a hundred
miles in a night to find prey.
As the proverb goes,
a wolf is fed by its legs.
I feel lucky.
A wolf is one of the few
trophies I have left to collect.
It's a waste of such an animal
to mount its head on a wall.
[BRANCH SNAPS]
[WHISPERING] It sounds close.
Do you see it?
- [DISTANT BARKING]
- There.

- [GUNSHOT]
- [GRUNTS]
[DISTANT BARKING AND HOWLING]
[WOLVES GROWLING]
[WOLVES BARKING]

[SIRENS WAILING]
- [TIRES SCREECH]
- [SIRENS STOP]
[JACK] I don't understand.
Why are you trying to help the CIA?
Let's just say we are
on the same side for once.
And why me?
I knew you were working with Zoya,
and she trusted you.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY]
She was your asset.
So you lied about the nuke on the ship
to get the CIA to react.
You may not have acted at all,
and his information
was just as important.
Sokol.
What do you know about it?
It was a terrible accident.
I know nothing more than that.
Before he died, Yuri said that
Konstantin was a traitor. Why?
Yuri knew it was not us.
It was not Russia, but
Russian.
A rogue faction.
One I am determined to unmask.
What do they want?
To restore the Soviet Union.
So there is a device.
Yuri was working on it.
Not a device yet.
What do you mean?
Uranium?
Well, if they don't have it yet,
there's only a handful of arms
dealers that would have enough.
And the man at the top
of the list is called
- Levan Zubkov.
- Who's that?
Ask your friend.
Zubkov's one of my clients.
And I'm assuming that's why
we're on our way to Budapest?
And the only reason you're still alive.
- I appreciate that.
- [JACK] Wait a minute.
You think Zubkov is
working with this faction?
Yes.
Well, how close are they?
They traveled to Kazakhstan
two days ago.
Third trip this month.
- Jesus.
- And I have no one I can trust.
No one. Not even in my government.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY]
And you want the CIA to trust me.
And won't they?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[PHONE RINGING AND VIBRATING]
Jack?
Let me guess. Semmering?
I'm along for the ride.
You enjoying yours?
Scenic.
I imagine so.
You may already be aware,
but there's a Russian
assassin on your tail.
- Oh, he found me.
- You killed him.
I didn't.
Then who?
Luka Gocharov.
Please tell me Gocharov
is not your asset.
You know who he is, what he's done.
Helped us.
It's not the Russians.
The new Defence Minister
is part of a cabal
that's operating independently
of their own government.
Even if that's true, there's no way
Miller signs off on any action
based on intel from Gocharov.
Well, then it's a good thing
- I don't work for Miller.
- Jack
The United States and Russia
are being baited into a war,
and right now, we're the
only ones standing in the way.
I can't just
I'm gonna need you to trust me.
[LINE BEEPS]
[TRAIN APPROACHING]

Where you going?
He's on a red train.

[GREER] There was one camera angle
on the premier parking terrace
that captured incoming vehicles.
We identified Kasal's car.
Here.
You see that?
Kasal didn't arrive alone.
There was someone in the car with him.
- Who is it?
- No idea.
But this thing was expertly planned
by more than one person.
Got your message.
I came as quickly as I could.
James Greer, I presume.
Mr. Kovac.
What exactly did your daughter tell you?
Only that you've cast aspersions
on her security chief.
He may not have a title,
but my father's my most trusted advisor.
[PETR] Do you really think
Radek played a role
in Dmitry Popov's death?
That he's part of some
larger conspiracy?
Yes. Yes, I do.
Then your options are severely
limited, Madam President.
It's already done.
I've given NATO the green light
to move in their missile installations.
I don't know what game
Russia is playing,
but I will not let this country
be their playground.

Remember that line
I was telling you about?
You just crossed it.
