At the beginning of the film, the agent responsible for escorting a spy mirror with classified intelligence is killed by KGB. When the news came out, the British sent Theron: on the one hand, to pursue the information that was taken away, and on the other hand, to distrust David.
The agent in charge of the escort first ran for his life on the street in his pajamas, apparently after a raid on his residence. Those who know the escort mission and are familiar with this matter, in the eyes of the British spy agency, are David with the highest possibility of leaking secrets. Later spy mirrors also confirmed that David was part of the escort mission and made a promise to keep his life safe.
As soon as David appeared on the scene, he was considered by the British spy executives to be a leaked double agent "Thatcher". Then Theron's appearance also suggested that she was actually related to the Russians. The two people in the car were unprepared for Theron. Theron saw David's car chasing behind and began to take off his high heels to prepare to start. The Russians couldn't stand it. Defense, defenseless, and even ask Theron: "What are you doing?".
Theron fought a lot, got out of the car and asked David why he was late for the connection. David vaguely went over. In my opinion, David was actually thinking about a new plan in his heart. He wanted to use KGB's hands to kill Theron, sell the list, and leave this place. mess.
The Russian arms dealers learned that a list was leaked and wanted to send someone to contact Theron, but Theron and them fought and rang the fire alarm to escape. In this regard, Theron explained to the high-level that he did not believe in David, and later came up with evidence and said, look, David is in contact with them.
In fact, however, Theron not only contacted the Russians during the mission, but even met the old man in the CIA. The old man gave her the phone number in the newspaper, Theron called, and the other party said, "Thatcher is about to be exposed." This shows that David's death is not only because of M16's distrust of him, but also because the CIA wants to kill him quickly, in case David, who has read the list and claimed to know the thief, goes out.
In fact, Theron's little French lover provided "David contacting the Russians" as evidence, which is not convincing. On the one hand, as a spy intelligence activity, David needs to contact the snake, rat and cow, and contact with Russian arms dealers and even KGB. It is not an important evidence, Theron himself took the business card and went to the streets of the Russian bar to be intimate with his French lover. On the other hand, Theron himself, as a true double agent, has a lot to say that is questionable.
For example, she described that David killed the little French lover, which not only makes no sense in the high-level view, but also does not make sense in Theron's narrative. David has already sold the list, whether it is to the CIA or his old family M16, or KGB, he can take the money and leave. The evidence of the little lover is no longer full of threats at this time. On the contrary, the camera of the little lover who has been following Theron from the airport and even maintained a relationship with Theron may have more advanced evidence than David's contact with Russia. For example, Theron met the old CIA man at the Berlin Wall.
Between the beds, the little lover also revealed some of David's misdeeds to Theron, although Theron claimed that he did not receive any information. In this game, the little lover, as a fledgling and inexperienced spy , In fact, it didn't hurt anyone too much, only Theron had the deepest contact with her. And I think her death may not be the so-called [David wanted to seize evidence but was interrupted by Theron and killed her and then ran away in a panic], it may have come from when Theron broke into David's room, David The recording released: "[Little Lover] You know, when you tell the truth, it's different, your eyes are different; [Theron] Is it, then it seems that I have to pay attention, our relationship can't be the same. Maintain it again; [Little Lover] Why
?; [Theron] Because it will make us all die." David, as a local snake in Berlin, is probably not more familiar with the escape routes than Theron, why Theron can intercept the big one alone. guard. Possibly and not, as Theron tells, she chases down the wounded David who killed the little French lover. More likely, KGB, who wanted the list, provided Theron with all the information he needed.
David's death was not only doomed from the beginning, it could even be said that he had to kill him at the end of the pick-up. Neither the CIA nor the KGB, represented by Theron, were seriously looking for Russian agents who snatched the watch. Instead, they were both looking for spy mirrors. After David grabbed the watch, he made a phone call and said that he already knew about "Thatcher", the double agent. The call was obviously not to M16. David disdainful of his immediate superior, calling C an old bastard. , although he was once loyal, but obviously at this tense moment of dismantling the Berlin Wall, the top management of M16 did not care about the life and death of the Berlin liaison officer. He clearly understood that once the Berlin Wall fell, intelligence began to circulate, and many things came to the surface. David was a treasure for the high-level executives, who used to get information freely because of that wall. Once the wall fell, He is nothing.
And after he read the information and claimed to know who the double agent "Thatcher" was, this call could only be CIA: Theron's real old club. It was also confirmed later that the old man of the CIA handed Theron information, warning her that her identity would be exposed, and dealing with David was the immediate choice.
During the escort mission, Theron specifically asked Spy Mirror: "Do you really remember?" In the final car chase, Spy Mirror's death also seemed inevitable. Theron said that the other main evidence that David was a double agent was the gun he fired to shoot the spy mirror, and the KGB above their heads couldn't see them, it could only be a gun fired from a parallel person. However, at this moment, not only is David there, but Theron is also there.
So no matter how you look at it, David was doomed from the beginning, including those who got caught in the Berlin circle. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Comrade Thatcher, who the KGB believed to be a double agent, needed to disappear, the pistol hidden in the ice bucket, and the sweepers waiting downstairs, all of which were predestined. Back to Theron in the CIA, don't you worry about being wiped out? But after all, who is in the hands of the information, and whether the spy mirror has disclosed the information to Theron before his death, that is another story.
