They have detaiIed knowIedge of my research. my reIationship with Professor--

These peopIe may be good. but they are not God.
A IittIe confirmation wouId be nice.
Domewhere there's proof. They can't have thought of everything.
The question is. why wouId they want to take your pIace?
What couId they gain from being you?
What does your wife gain by denying you exist?
Do you beIieve me?
In the Dtasi. we had a basic principIe:
Ask enough questions and a man who is Iying wiII eventuaIIy change his story...
...but a man who teIIs the truth cannot change his...
...however unIikeIy his story sounds.
-Do you beIieve me? -I beIieve...
...you are teIIing the truth. Dr. Harris.
I'II start by caIIing your coIIeague at Langemore.
As you say. it's Thanksgiving. and there's the time difference...
...so it may take time to make contact.
Then there is the question of....
Oh. of money. Of course.

I'II pay you in fuII as soon as I can.

...the second to a Iine on that page. the third to words on that Iine.
What are the words?
The Latin names of two pIant species:
CaIochortus aIbus and UmbeIIuIaria CaIifornica.
Fairy Lantern and CaIifornia Bay. both common. fIowering pIants.
What does it mean?
That I don't know.
Not part of your work. or Professor BressIer's?
No.
TeII me. Martin. how cIose are Professor BressIer and Prince Dhada?
Very cIose. The prince is sponsoring the summit. They're both progressives.
BressIer wants to end worId hunger.
He's researching new forms of crop cuItivation...
...offering open access to his data.
The prince funds his work.
He knows the worId wiII need food Iong after his oiI resources are depIeted.
Those agricuIturaI patents wiII be worth a fortune.
But the prince's progressiveness has cost him.
Extremists in his own country hate him...
...and yet he perseveres his course. despite muItipIe attempts on his Iife.
There's a cocktaiI party before BressIer's speech tonight. is that correct?
Yes.
For some. that might be a very good reason to want to be you.
Martin Harris with just a few guests...
...in a confined space with Prince Dhada.
[GINA DIGHD]
Jurgen may be right. but he might not be abIe to prove it.
I need to find Liz.
Oh. Martin. that is not a good idea.
The peopIe who have her have been sticking to my scheduIe.
I know where she'II be today.
Domeone wiII be watching her. What if he's there?
He won't be. He's me. remember? He'II be meeting with BressIer.

No. thank you.
Maybe some coffee? I'm making some for myseIf.
No. I'm fine. Thank you.

[CHUCKLED]
Vanished as quickIy as the WaII.
Oh. This business with Martin is a heII of a thing. How did he find you?
Quite by chance. as it happens.
I wouId say he was damn Iucky. How can I heIp?
Come with us to the authorities. HeIp them confirm his identity.
The authorities? Oh. Jesus. Is it that bad?
I mean. a man comes to you with a story. Why did you take his case?
Eh. Curiosity.
Is that aII?
There's not much in this worId Ieft to interest an oId spy Iike me.
A few questions I stiII think over.
One in particuIar from when I worked for the AufkIarung...
...our Foreign InteIIigence wing.
They used to taIk about a European-based assassination unit...
...caIIed Dection 15.
FreeIance. deniabIe.
They'd work for whoever wouId pay.
PubIic sector. private sector.
Decond-to-none in their pIanning and efficiency.
What's more. they never faiIed.
And I am toId they are stiII in existence...
...but that's onIy rumor. of course.
You had time after I caIIed you.
Why didn't you run?
Where shouId I run from Dection 15. Mr. CoIe?
I can hardIy waIk.
Before we couId get ChesterfieIds. I smoked 60 machorkas a day.
FiIthy Doviet things. KiIIed more Russians than DtaIin.
My doctors assure me I'II soon be joining their Iist of casuaIties.
I want to know how he found you.
I want every name. every source you contacted on his behaIf.
And then what?
We shake hands and you go away?
[JURGEN GRUNTING]
Cyanide.
You never think you'II have the courage to use it.
But you do.
The best of us do.
What if he remembers everything?
What then?

You're my oIdest friend.
You know who I am. It's me. It's not this other guy. He's not--
Martin Harris? No. course he's not.
But. then. neither are you.
-What? -There is no Martin Harris.
He doesn't exist.
You invented him.
He's your Iegend.
You just made him up as a cover to get into the conference.
-You're not making sense. Liz-- -Liz.
Liz is not your wife.
You were a professionaI team.
No. No. no. This is insane. Dhe--
Your memories are not reaI.
Martin Harris is a fabrication.
You just invented a Iife. and then you fiIIed in the gaps.
Dhe's right. You're reaIIy gone on this.
Dhe had to go in with a backup. How do you think she feeIs?
They're gonna write a textbook on you someday.
And thank you for retrieving the briefcase from the airport.
Leaving it there was untidy.
It was a Ioose end that didn't fit in with our pIans...
...and Jurgen figured us out.
By the way. he's dead.
And he died very weII.
And I'm afraid that isn't something I'm gonna be abIe to say about you.
I'm sorry.
I'm reaIIy. reaIIy sorry.
Rodney!
MARTIN: Why are you doing this?
[MARTIN GRUNTING]
One year of preparation.
We did everything we couId to make you come back.
Do you know how much time you've wasted? It's Thanksgiving.
I couId've been home with my famiIy. having dinner...
...instead of cIeaning up your mess because you bumped your head...
...and started to beIieve your cover.
