Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia (1977) Movie Script
SIBERIA 1953
ILSE - THE BITCH FROM SIBERIA
Line up, zek!
Open the gate!
Work crew ready!
Move it, zeks!
Pick up the pace, scum!
Hurry up!
You two have gotten soft. An hour
to catch such a carcass.
Let me next time,
Comrade Colonel. Then you'll see.
Here in Gulag 14, a certain formality
must be observed before death is certified.
This mutt tried to escape.
He was trying to spy on us.
Even now, he might be trying.
We must be sure.
Watch and never forget.
Get going, you pigs!
Back to the barracks!
Look how Sasha loves the taste
of human blood.
Slowly, my friend. You might
live many hours on that.
Why are you here?
What crime did you commit?
There was a party at the military academy.
My friends and I
drank too much vodka.
Some windows got broken.
It wasn't more serious than that, -
- but I got sentenced to 6 months.
My father will help me out of this.
- He'll get me out.
- Who is your father?
General Zerov.
What's your name?
- Nikolai.
- Andrei.
- So you're not a criminal?
- It'll be hard labor.
But these rumors about the Gulag,
it's all lies.
Designed to scare children.
Welcome to Gulag 14.
He sent you here,
and only his permission will get you out.
If you don't cooperate,
If you defy our efforts
to make you useful citizens, -
- you'll die here, Commissar!
- Yes, Comrade Colonel.
- Oh, so you're General Zerov's son.
- Yes, Comrade Colonel.
My friends in Moscow suggest
he'll be joining you here soon.
Quiet!
You've been sentenced to 6 months of hard labor.
It's 9 months now.
We know how to handle spoiled young criminals.
Andrei Chicurin
The so-called free thinker.
Scribbles leaflets and pamphlets.
Rest assured -
we will cure you.
I'm not sick, Comrade Colonel.
You've been judged by the people's court.
Are you suggesting it made a mistake?
The laws and lawmakers are malicious,
not justice.
Brave words, free thinker,
but foolish. We will break you.
You'll break me physically,
but you'll never reach my mind or soul.
How dare you
speak in such an insolent tone?
We know enough about how
to deal with counter-revolutionaries!
This cold could freeze
Lucifer's piss solid!
Think of something else. Vodka,
a nice spiced wine and roast veal.
You clumsy, stupid little flea!
Damn it!
Help us, everyone!
Win your freedom!
Kill them!
Back, you curs!
Crush that shit, Vassily!
Beat him to a pulp!
So, who started it?
Who was the ringleader?
This damn shit.
I'll break every bone in his body.
Let him go. Release him!
You'll kill him too quickly, Dimitri.
Sasha hasn't eaten in three days.
So you want to fight?
Get in here!
With Sasha, you'll get
your fill!
Man versus cat!
Why are you shaking, zek?
Get to know the animal better!
She likes you.
See how she sniffs your feet.
Open up!
She's waiting for you!
For him, Sasha.
Break every bone
in that filthy zek!
Everything quiet?
Yes. They're sleeping like logs.
My brotherhood of Cossacks
You miserable ass!
You almost hit me.
I was trying to knock some sense
into your thick skull!
By Saint Isaac's holy acid;
I'll smash your head into your stomach!
Let me get to it. What do you
have to offer in comparison?
It's bigger, harder, and more
No more!
Tonight you'll be mine, my beautiful...
Go!
My masters have arrived.
You'll get a fever in your wet clothes.
You'll get sick,
and then you won't be able to do anything -
- for poor Olga.
Now Katia will help.
My brothers, comrades.
Your body is so lush and warm.
Like Mother Russia herself.
My bulls, my stallions.
Let's bore deep.
Together.
Yes, together as one!
Your skin is like silk!
Oh Ivan!
My lance reaches far.
Yes.
Gently, gently, little brother!
I'm not little.
We'll see who bores deepest,
tovaritch.
One more time.
No. I want to sleep.
And you claim you're made of steel.
I can only feel
a dull, limp cabbage.
By the hair on Saint Basil's wart,
let me sleep!
As wide as the Black Sea
and as long as the Volga
Drink.
I can drink endlessly
and the river flows endlessly.
Olga's river
Forward!
Stay here, my little treasure.
We're not finished.
More plowing awaits.
In that case, plow each other.
The hairy ape?
His breath is like a fart from the devil.
I have work to do. The commissar is waiting.
Let him wait. He's a machine, not a man.
Even machines have their uses.
- Who is it?
- Josef Stalin.
- Who is he?
- Dictator and murderer.
We'll try again.
Lavrentiy Beria, the Minister of Internal Affairs.
- Is he your friend?
- He's my enemy.
I'll break him, Colonel. Like everyone else, he'll learn.
- Do you enjoy pain, Chicurin?
- Beria wades through the blood of millions.
You're like a stubborn ox. This defiance will be your death.
- Then kill me!
- Our goal is to re-educate your brain.
Only then will we consider if your body can benefit the state.
We'll take it easy this time.
Lev, keep going until he breaks.
- I won't fail, Comrade Colonel.
- I hope not.
Because then it will be clear
you no longer benefit the camp -
- or the state.
You cur! You stinking zek!
Rotten sheep's guts!
This stinking carcass
refuses to work, -
- Comrade Colonel.
- I hear you're burning up with fever.
I'm sick. I tried to work, -
- but I'm burning up, Comrade Colonel.
- Dimitri
This man doesn't deserve
the lash of your whip.
Don't you hear?
He's burning with fever.
He needs treatment
that can cure him.
No, no!
No, comrade!
When you're sick, you can't work.
That's not acceptable.
- The fever must be beaten down.
- I beg you!
The Colonel just wants to help you.
Mercy, Comrade Colonel!
No!
No!!
No, Comrade Colonel, no, no!!
Mercy.
No, Colonel!
Good. He's on the mend.
Slowly, Ivan. He's burning up.
Remember that.
Good, Ivan.
Let's pull him back.
Safe journey, my friend.
Here he comes.
Turn further, Gregor.
I doubt
that illness will plague him again.
Now, perhaps you're ready
to give the right answers?
Who is it? Speak up!
Josef Stalin.
"Father of all Russian peoples."
Say it!
He is...
Say it then.
He is...
Come on!
He is the father
of every crime in this land.
You'll be a vegetable
when I'm done with you.
Into formation! Hold the line!
Do you want your rations cut, curs?
That's mine!
Stop it, you curs!
Up! Come here, you zeks!
Is that all you learned here?
To fight like wild animals?
- He stole my bread.
- Liar! He's the thief!
- It was him, comrade Colonel.
- Who saw anything?
- You can't both be telling the truth.
- He's holding it!
I swear, it's mine,
comrade Colonel.
We'll see.
Perhaps the truth will give
strength to the honest hand.
A thief's hand,
comrade Colonel!
He is no longer
useful to the state.
Sleep
Sleep
For her left nipple!
The left one!
By Lucifer's asshole, I'll tear them off
one by one and shove them up you.
For the light down -
- on her silky stomach!
- The light down
Son of a bitch who spread her legs for anyone and everyone!
For the hair closest -
- to the entrance to paradise.
- The closest
You son of a jackal!
You son of a fat camel!
Miserable bastard!
Aav... that's enough!
And the victors take the spoils
Gregor,
why are you all hunched over?
Olga here needs you.
And Ivan has something for me?
Katia needs a little help
- Faster!
- Dig the tracks in deep!
My fiery steed!
We'll ride through the night.
I will lead you -
- over mountains and through valleys.
Then we'll change horses, darling.
Forward, you scum!
Move it!
Do you want to taste the whip?
The line is dead.
Where are the new prisoners?
The sleigh should have been here by now.
- Shall I ride out to the railway?
- Yes.
I'll be as quick as the wind,
comrade colonel.
Well, commissioner,
Chicurig shows no signs
of progress?
This man is different,
comrade colonel.
He's of a different character.
I need more time.
No. Time will make no difference.
If he's so different,
we'll have to approach him differently.
He's incredibly stubborn.
Bring him here.
Now?
If he's stubborn as a mule,
he might respond to a carrot.
Come inside, Chicurin.
There's something I want to explain to you.
Don't think we're barbarians.
We have a responsibility,
a vital responsibility -
to turn you from society's enemy -
- into one of its strongest supporters.
We can't shirk that duty.
We're forced to harsh methods, but those who cooperate -
- will be richly rewarded.
Both in the future and now.
I believe you might be ready for a taste -
- of the rewards that await you.
And remember what it's like -
- to be a free man.
Show me you haven't forgotten a woman's body.
In my village -
- the girls no one would touch
reeked.
The stench of the pigsty clung to them -
- and was impossible to wash off.
You're dead, Chicurin!
By St. Stella's nonsense, -
- the beast is hungry!
- The Marshal is dead.
- What?
Stalin is dead.
Beria has been executed.
- And General Zerov is on his way here.
- Say no more.
Take them back to the barracks.
We're done here.
Take the prisoners back to the barracks. Now!
Quickly, you curs!
Quickly!
Get a move on!
He's dead, I tell you.
And Zerov is coming with the Ukrainians.
Time is short!
All zeks inside!
Faster!
Set it on fire!
Gasoline and torches, quickly!
Stop!
More fuel!
Open up!
Open the door!
Andrei!
Andrei! Take this!
At St. Agatha's
I'll carry you, comrade.
Andrei!
Andrei, up here!
Burn in hell, zeks!
She won't escape, my friend.
Your death will be avenged.
I swear it.
MONTREAL 1977
What a match! What a tournament!
The best final in memory!
Outstanding play from both teams!
And the crowd is still breathless.
And what a result!
A 3-3 draw
after a last-minute equalizer.
A tremendous end to
the World Championships!
And we wish the skilled
players from Moscow a safe journey home!
That's all from beautiful Montreal,
host of the 1976 Olympic Games.
Just a visit!
There's time before departure, comrade.
- We can use the back entrance.
- We've trained hard for 3 months.
- 3 months without a woman!
- And then back to Moscow.
Comrade!
Without having tried Western meat?
- That would be a crime.
- Take last night after the game
The way he looked at me
in the bath.
- If he doesn't get a woman soon
- We played well.
The coach was satisfied, wasn't he?
And you?
Even security guards must have fun?
Imagine,
a black girl with silky smooth skin
- And shiny red lips.
- Where will you find her?
- And one for Josef?
- We've heard about a place.
- From one of the Canadian players.
- He goes there often himself.
Three hours, that's the maximum.
Then we're here.
Come inside.
- And you, sir?
- No...
- I'm just waiting for my friends.
- Oh? Well, that'll be 80 dollars, sir.
We have a nice waiting room out here,
many thanks.
- Take off your clothes.
- I have a better suggestion.
Do it for me.
You probably like breasts?
These soft, white mounds
With little hard nubs.
Three months without a woman.
Three months?
You really have some catching up to do.
One could die happy like this.
Honey...?
Is everything alright?
He's desperate, that one.
Sound.
I'm not going to suck you off.
You got twenty lashes, though.
That's enough. She's forgotten her responsibilities
to me and to the clients.
She seems to need
a few days up here.
She needs a reminder.
I'll get hold of her tomorrow.
Click into the waiting room.
I know him.
I'm sure you do.
There's something
That can't be.
What?
It's him.
Chicurin. Andrei Chicurin.
From Gulag 14.
Chicurin is dead.
I saw his body in the cell.
He must have escaped.
And now he's here in Montreal.
But why?
He can't know you're here.
You covered your tracks too well.
Are you sure?
No. I'm not taking any chances.
Too much is at stake.
I'll get Luc and Starr.
They're still in town.
Tell them to apprehend him.
Alive.
I want him alive.
He said we should meet here.
Where did he go?
Alex, we have to go. The plane...!
His clothes are still here.
Why hasn't he come?
He'll miss the plane.
I was thinking
Maybe
Maybe he's not coming.
What?
Maybe he bailed.
Bailed?
Then we'll get the trash.
We say nothing. We left the hotel together, -
- and then he went his own way.
We never saw him again.
- They'll doubt our word. - We're Soviet sports heroes!
He didn't come with us! Are you with me?
Well,
Andrei Chicurin, we'll meet again.
I guess I underestimated your persistence.
I won't make that mistake again.
Neither will your old friends.
Nor my new brotherhood. You've already met Luc and Starr.
And this is Hans.
- What do you want? - Information.
And to finish the job we started in Siberia.
- Why is that so important? - Because I'm a perfectionist.
We'll have less trouble this time. We've refined our technique.
But this isn't Russia. You have no prisoners here.
You'll tell us everything you know. About your employer, -
- about General Zerov, about his agents in North America, -
- his network. Everything.
I told you I'd break you, Chicurin.
Not then, and not now.
We'll see tomorrow. Lev will demonstrate his new technique.
Then you'll see, my friend. Take him to his cell.
You remember Lev.
And this is Carol. She wants to work in one of our salons -
- but first we must assess her strengths and weaknesses.
She'll be shown a series of pictures, projected at high speed.
While they're registered in her subconscious, -
- my computer analyzes -
- impulses in her brainwaves from every part of her nervous system.
Any fear and any weakness she possesses will be revealed.
Once her worst fear is known, she will be exposed to it, -
- and her mind influenced toward one overriding thought:
That to avoid this terror, -
- she must obey.
The computer has now tracked,
what she fears most of all.
- What?
You'll see.
Just a three-dimensional projection,
but for her
it's a real and true world of terror,
that she never wants
to be in again.
And you think you can break
my willpower with images?
- Romando doubted too.
- Who?
Don Romando. He didn't think
I could take over his organization.
He later changed his mind.
If I voluntarily hand over everything...
the girls, all the salons -
- and all my people.
Boys,
I'm retiring to Florida
- to grow tomatoes in my garden. You must not -
- call me
or contact me in any other way.
You just need to
act on the signora's orders.
Signed
Guido
...R.
There.
You won't have any more trouble with me.
- And Passolini's organization too.
- I'll speak with him.
His wife's half-brother is my cousin. I'll ask him to leave town.
- But you'll be in Florida?
- Yes. Pompano Beach.
You'd better get going. They'll follow you to the airport.
Signora,
Allow me to thank you.
Have a good trip.
Wait a minute. What's going on here? This is a mistake!
Signora, what do you want?
Signora...!
- I don't like loose ends.
- Signora, I've done everything!
I've signed! No!!
You promised...! I'm retiring!
Audible! No!!
I'll do anything for you! I swear on my mother's grave!
Signora...u
We need to find another place. It'll be crowded down there soon.
Well, Chicurin, it's your turn.
Tonight, Lev will get the computer ready for you.
You're wasting your time, Chicurin.
The computer compensates for conscious pain control.
Only your subconscious reactions will be registered.
One by one.
Passolini is much smarter than Romando.
No. We know his haunts, his habits, his routines.
Everything regular as clockwork.
Just take that motel where he picks up girls.
We could just take him out there.
How do we get close to him? He has gorillas posted everywhere!
Forget him. I have a plan you'll hear more about.
Holy shit...!
Tonight, it's me, all alone.
- We can fight over that!
- No.
Tonight, I choose myself... Ebony and Gold.
Wonderful, wonderful!
- Why didn't you report that immediately?
- General, we didn't think
No. I'm telling you, a man like Andrei Chicurin -
- doesn't back down.
Out!
Get me the embassy in Montreal.
- Yes, General.
- You two will make a team.
- We'll start right away, General.
- Excellent.
I want immediate results. You know where the trail begins.
Find out where it ends. Find Chicurin.
Yes, General.
Well, Chicurin, you'll see how fantasy can become reality.
Yes, I like her.
- Honey, follow me.
- This way?
Take my arm. Your arm, honey!
- You're really eager, huh?
- You are quite tempting.
- Thanks. Where are you from?
- The Soviet Union. Russia.
- Russia? Well, I never!
- My ship is only here for a couple of days.
A friend of mine told me about this place.
- He told me about you.
- Really?
That camera in the corner,
what's it for?
You don't need to worry about that.
It's for security.
Things can get out of hand with the guys.
The camera prevents problems.
I'm not keen on performing
for an open camera.
Nobody's watching. Not until
I press the alarm button here.
- My friend didn't mention cameras.
- It slipped in, comrade.
He was here for the hockey
finals. He was only here one night.
His last night in town, and
his first time with a black girl.
- Young?
- Alex.
Make yourself comfortable now.
Later. Lie down first.
Then I'll give you a massage.
As you wish.
Lovely-
Thelma called,
in case you were interested.
Another Russian. A sailor.
He brought two friends.
Maybe you remember them too.
Describe them.
A young man like himself.
And a slightly older one.
- I enjoy looking at you. And talking.
- That's enough.
He's not a sailor.
He asks too many questions.
He's Zerov's man.
He's here to find Chicurin.
We have to close immediately.
And keep the girls up here.
- Should he be taken care of?
- Yes.
- I'll call Gregoor.
- But it has to look like an accident.
Coitus interruptus, comrade.
Sally, you'd better go.
Central, this is 6412.
I'm checking:
C-H-A-7-2-A
Correct.
Where does the subscriber live?
Then I'll check the address.
Yes
Good.
Just a little prick, comrade.
And then you'll get very sleepy.
Won't you?
Shit!
You can go now.
- You mean you hate me, right?
- Yes.
Your brain probably says that,
but the computer reveals-
- that your body disagrees.
You're growing strong
More and more
You need me.
You desire me.
You burn for me.
Your brain has no
control over your body.
Do you hear...?
With every scream
you let out tomorrow, Chicurin,
-
- you'll have me on your mind.
Yes, Igor.
She was one of Stalin's bitches.
I have a personal score
to settle with her.
She killed my son.
No, I'll handle the rest.
Everything is prepared.
They're leaving immediately.
Yes, they're the best we have.
They know what needs to be done.
You only need to do one thing:
Keep an eye on
whether the rat leaves the hole.
Red four.
The rat hasn't moved from the hole.
Okay, Passolini.
When the fireworks go off, you'll
have turned into a giant sparkler.
What was that?
Didn't Passolini teach you to read?
Maybe Passolini can't read himself.
- The sign says "Private Property".
- Passolini...?
Then the party starts!
To victory!
That's a whole other story.
Easy as scratching your neck.
Cheers.
Then we finish our drinks.
And now for tonight's entertainment.
A very special entertainment.
You will now see the consequences
of defying me.
And with that, Chicurin, we're underway.
Take positions! Quickly!
Take this! Cover the stairs!
Well?
So the sow has escaped again.
This is yours, Chicurin.
Yours! All of it!
All of it!
You'll be rich, Chicurin.
Rich! You'll get it all!
If only you help me.
Quickly!
No! Come back!
This is an order!
Come back!
Chicurin!!
Come back!!

This man doesn't deserve
the lash of your whip.
Don't you hear?
He's burning with fever.
He needs treatment
that can cure him.
No, no!
No, comrade!
When you're sick, you can't work.
That's not acceptable.
- The fever must be beaten down.
- I beg you!
The Colonel just wants to help you.
Mercy, Comrade Colonel!
No!
No!!
No, Comrade Colonel, no, no!!
Mercy.
No, Colonel!
Good. He's on the mend.
Slowly, Ivan. He's burning up.
Remember that.
Good, Ivan.
Let's pull him back.
Safe journey, my friend.
Here he comes.
Turn further, Gregor.
I doubt
that illness will plague him again.
Now, perhaps you're ready
to give the right answers?
Who is it? Speak up!
Josef Stalin.
"Father of all Russian peoples."
Say it!
He is...
Say it then.
He is...
Come on!
He is the father
of every crime in this land.
You'll be a vegetable
when I'm done with you.
Into formation! Hold the line!
Do you want your rations cut, curs?
That's mine!
Stop it, you curs!
Up! Come here, you zeks!
Is that all you learned here?
To fight like wild animals?
- He stole my bread.
- Liar! He's the thief!
- It was him, comrade Colonel.
- Who saw anything?
- You can't both be telling the truth.
- He's holding it!
I swear, it's mine,
comrade Colonel.
We'll see.
Perhaps the truth will give
strength to the honest hand.
A thief's hand,
comrade Colonel!
He is no longer
useful to the state.
Sleep
Sleep
For her left nipple!
The left one!
By Lucifer's asshole, I'll tear them off
one by one and shove them up you.
For the light down -
- on her silky stomach!
- The light down
Son of a bitch who spread her legs for anyone and everyone!
For the hair closest -
- to the entrance to paradise.
- The closest
You son of a jackal!
You son of a fat camel!
Miserable bastard!
Aav... that's enough!
And the victors take the spoils
Gregor,
why are you all hunched over?
Olga here needs you.
And Ivan has something for me?
Katia needs a little help
- Faster!
- Dig the tracks in deep!
My fiery steed!
We'll ride through the night.
I will lead you -
- over mountains and through valleys.
Then we'll change horses, darling.
Forward, you scum!
Move it!
Do you want to taste the whip?
The line is dead.
Where are the new prisoners?
The sleigh should have been here by now.
- Shall I ride out to the railway?
- Yes.
I'll be as quick as the wind,
comrade colonel.
Well, commissioner,
Chicurig shows no signs
of progress?
This man is different,
comrade colonel.
He's of a different character.
I need more time.
No. Time will make no difference.
If he's so different,
we'll have to approach him differently.
He's incredibly stubborn.
Bring him here.
Now?
If he's stubborn as a mule,
he might respond to a carrot.
Come inside, Chicurin.
There's something I want to explain to you.
Don't think we're barbarians.
We have a responsibility,
a vital responsibility -
to turn you from society's enemy -
- into one of its strongest supporters.
We can't shirk that duty.
We're forced to harsh methods, but those who cooperate -
- will be richly rewarded.
Both in the future and now.
I believe you might be ready for a taste -
- of the rewards that await you.
And remember what it's like -
- to be a free man.
Show me you haven't forgotten a woman's body.
In my village -
- the girls no one would touch
reeked.
The stench of the pigsty clung to them -
- and was impossible to wash off.
You're dead, Chicurin!
By St. Stella's nonsense, -
- the beast is hungry!
- The Marshal is dead.
- What?
Stalin is dead.
Beria has been executed.
- And General Zerov is on his way here.
- Say no more.
Take them back to the barracks.
We're done here.
Take the prisoners back to the barracks. Now!
Quickly, you curs!
Quickly!
Get a move on!
He's dead, I tell you.
And Zerov is coming with the Ukrainians.
Time is short!
All zeks inside!
Faster!
Set it on fire!
Gasoline and torches, quickly!
Stop!
More fuel!
Open up!
Open the door!
Andrei!
Andrei! Take this!
At St. Agatha's
I'll carry you, comrade.
Andrei!
Andrei, up here!
Burn in hell, zeks!
She won't escape, my friend.
Your death will be avenged.
I swear it.
MONTREAL 1977
What a match! What a tournament!
The best final in memory!
Outstanding play from both teams!
And the crowd is still breathless.
And what a result!
A 3-3 draw
after a last-minute equalizer.
A tremendous end to
the World Championships!
And we wish the skilled
players from Moscow a safe journey home!
That's all from beautiful Montreal,
host of the 1976 Olympic Games.
Just a visit!
There's time before departure, comrade.
- We can use the back entrance.
- We've trained hard for 3 months.
- 3 months without a woman!
- And then back to Moscow.
Comrade!
Without having tried Western meat?
- That would be a crime.
- Take last night after the game
The way he looked at me
in the bath.
- If he doesn't get a woman soon
- We played well.
The coach was satisfied, wasn't he?
And you?
Even security guards must have fun?
Imagine,
a black girl with silky smooth skin
- And shiny red lips.
- Where will you find her?
- And one for Josef?
- We've heard about a place.
- From one of the Canadian players.
- He goes there often himself.
Three hours, that's the maximum.
Then we're here.
Come inside.
- And you, sir?
- No...
- I'm just waiting for my friends.
- Oh? Well, that'll be 80 dollars, sir.
We have a nice waiting room out here,
many thanks.
- Take off your clothes.
- I have a better suggestion.
Do it for me.
You probably like breasts?
These soft, white mounds
With little hard nubs.
Three months without a woman.
Three months?
You really have some catching up to do.
One could die happy like this.
Honey...?
Is everything alright?
He's desperate, that one.
Sound.
I'm not going to suck you off.
You got twenty lashes, though.
That's enough. She's forgotten her responsibilities
to me and to the clients.
She seems to need
a few days up here.
She needs a reminder.
I'll get hold of her tomorrow.
Click into the waiting room.
I know him.
I'm sure you do.
There's something
That can't be.
What?
It's him.
Chicurin. Andrei Chicurin.
From Gulag 14.
Chicurin is dead.
I saw his body in the cell.
He must have escaped.
And now he's here in Montreal.
But why?
He can't know you're here.
You covered your tracks too well.
Are you sure?
No. I'm not taking any chances.
Too much is at stake.
I'll get Luc and Starr.
They're still in town.
Tell them to apprehend him.
Alive.
I want him alive.
He said we should meet here.
Where did he go?
Alex, we have to go. The plane...!
His clothes are still here.
Why hasn't he come?
He'll miss the plane.
I was thinking
Maybe
Maybe he's not coming.
What?
Maybe he bailed.
Bailed?
Then we'll get the trash.
We say nothing. We left the hotel together, -
- and then he went his own way.
We never saw him again.
- They'll doubt our word. - We're Soviet sports heroes!
He didn't come with us! Are you with me?
Well,
Andrei Chicurin, we'll meet again.
I guess I underestimated your persistence.
I won't make that mistake again.
Neither will your old friends.
Nor my new brotherhood. You've already met Luc and Starr.
And this is Hans.
- What do you want? - Information.
And to finish the job we started in Siberia.
- Why is that so important? - Because I'm a perfectionist.
We'll have less trouble this time. We've refined our technique.
But this isn't Russia. You have no prisoners here.
You'll tell us everything you know. About your employer, -
- about General Zerov, about his agents in North America, -
- his network. Everything.
I told you I'd break you, Chicurin.
Not then, and not now.
We'll see tomorrow. Lev will demonstrate his new technique.
Then you'll see, my friend. Take him to his cell.
You remember Lev.
And this is Carol. She wants to work in one of our salons -
- but first we must assess her strengths and weaknesses.
She'll be shown a series of pictures, projected at high speed.
While they're registered in her subconscious, -
- my computer analyzes -
- impulses in her brainwaves from every part of her nervous system.
Any fear and any weakness she possesses will be revealed.
Once her worst fear is known, she will be exposed to it, -
- and her mind influenced toward one overriding thought:
That to avoid this terror, -
- she must obey.
The computer has now tracked,
what she fears most of all.
- What?
You'll see.
Just a three-dimensional projection,
but for her
it's a real and true world of terror,
that she never wants
to be in again.
And you think you can break
my willpower with images?
- Romando doubted too.
- Who?
Don Romando. He didn't think
I could take over his organization.
He later changed his mind.
If I voluntarily hand over everything...
the girls, all the salons -
- and all my people.
Boys,
I'm retiring to Florida
- to grow tomatoes in my garden. You must not -
- call me
or contact me in any other way.
You just need to
act on the signora's orders.
Signed
Guido
...R.
There.
You won't have any more trouble with me.
- And Passolini's organization too.
- I'll speak with him.
His wife's half-brother is my cousin. I'll ask him to leave town.
- But you'll be in Florida?
- Yes. Pompano Beach.
You'd better get going. They'll follow you to the airport.
Signora,
Allow me to thank you.
Have a good trip.
Wait a minute. What's going on here? This is a mistake!
Signora, what do you want?
Signora...!
- I don't like loose ends.
- Signora, I've done everything!
I've signed! No!!
You promised...! I'm retiring!
Audible! No!!
I'll do anything for you! I swear on my mother's grave!
Signora...u
We need to find another place. It'll be crowded down there soon.
Well, Chicurin, it's your turn.
Tonight, Lev will get the computer ready for you.
You're wasting your time, Chicurin.
The computer compensates for conscious pain control.
Only your subconscious reactions will be registered.
One by one.
Passolini is much smarter than Romando.
No. We know his haunts, his habits, his routines.
Everything regular as clockwork.
Just take that motel where he picks up girls.
We could just take him out there.
How do we get close to him? He has gorillas posted everywhere!
Forget him. I have a plan you'll hear more about.
Holy shit...!
Tonight, it's me, all alone.
- We can fight over that!
- No.
Tonight, I choose myself... Ebony and Gold.
Wonderful, wonderful!
- Why didn't you report that immediately?
- General, we didn't think
No. I'm telling you, a man like Andrei Chicurin -
- doesn't back down.
Out!
Get me the embassy in Montreal.
- Yes, General.
- You two will make a team.
- We'll start right away, General.
- Excellent.
I want immediate results. You know where the trail begins.
Find out where it ends. Find Chicurin.
Yes, General.
Well, Chicurin, you'll see how fantasy can become reality.
Yes, I like her.
- Honey, follow me.
- This way?
Take my arm. Your arm, honey!
- You're really eager, huh?
- You are quite tempting.
- Thanks. Where are you from?
- The Soviet Union. Russia.
- Russia? Well, I never!
- My ship is only here for a couple of days.
A friend of mine told me about this place.
- He told me about you.
- Really?
That camera in the corner,
what's it for?
You don't need to worry about that.
It's for security.
Things can get out of hand with the guys.
The camera prevents problems.
I'm not keen on performing
for an open camera.
Nobody's watching. Not until
I press the alarm button here.
- My friend didn't mention cameras.
- It slipped in, comrade.
He was here for the hockey
finals. He was only here one night.
His last night in town, and
his first time with a black girl.
- Young?
- Alex.
Make yourself comfortable now.
Later. Lie down first.
Then I'll give you a massage.
As you wish.
Lovely-
Thelma called,
in case you were interested.
Another Russian. A sailor.
He brought two friends.
Maybe you remember them too.
Describe them.
A young man like himself.
And a slightly older one.
- I enjoy looking at you. And talking.
- That's enough.
He's not a sailor.
He asks too many questions.
He's Zerov's man.
He's here to find Chicurin.
We have to close immediately.
And keep the girls up here.
- Should he be taken care of?
- Yes.
- I'll call Gregoor.
- But it has to look like an accident.
Coitus interruptus, comrade.
Sally, you'd better go.
Central, this is 6412.
I'm checking:
C-H-A-7-2-A
Correct.
Where does the subscriber live?
Then I'll check the address.
Yes
Good.
Just a little prick, comrade.
And then you'll get very sleepy.
Won't you?
Shit!
You can go now.
- You mean you hate me, right?
- Yes.
Your brain probably says that,
but the computer reveals-
- that your body disagrees.
You're growing strong
More and more
You need me.
You desire me.
You burn for me.
Your brain has no
control over your body.
Do you hear...?
With every scream
you let out tomorrow, Chicurin,
-
- you'll have me on your mind.
Yes, Igor.
She was one of Stalin's bitches.
I have a personal score
to settle with her.
She killed my son.
No, I'll handle the rest.
Everything is prepared.
They're leaving immediately.
Yes, they're the best we have.
They know what needs to be done.
You only need to do one thing:
Keep an eye on
whether the rat leaves the hole.
Red four.
The rat hasn't moved from the hole.
Okay, Passolini.
When the fireworks go off, you'll
have turned into a giant sparkler.
What was that?
Didn't Passolini teach you to read?
Maybe Passolini can't read himself.
- The sign says "Private Property".
- Passolini...?
Then the party starts!
To victory!
That's a whole other story.
Easy as scratching your neck.
Cheers.
Then we finish our drinks.
And now for tonight's entertainment.
A very special entertainment.
You will now see the consequences
of defying me.
And with that, Chicurin, we're underway.
Take positions! Quickly!
Take this! Cover the stairs!
Well?
So the sow has escaped again.
This is yours, Chicurin.
Yours! All of it!
All of it!
You'll be rich, Chicurin.
Rich! You'll get it all!
If only you help me.
Quickly!
No! Come back!
This is an order!
Come back!
Chicurin!!
Come back!!
