In April 1961, international public opinion was keenly paying attention to the U.S.'s anti-Castro riots and the invasion of Cuba. In Washington, Edward Wilson, one of the important members of the CIA, met a child who was looking for him to exchange change on the bus to the office. When he came to the office, he handed the exchanged one dollar to his colleague, aligning the number on the banknote to find out that the code of the task was "Cardinal Master". At this point, Richard came in and told him that soon they would be "dancing in Cuba in red shoes."
Cuba’s anti-government actions have been hit hard, and the United States, which originally started to support, is also facing a crisis of not being able to replenish its troops in a timely manner. Assistant Brooke told Edward that the enemy knew where they were hiding, and there was no doubt that the CIA had an insider.
After the mission failed, Edward, who returned to Washington, received a mysterious e-mail that was left at the door of his home. There was a tape and several photos in it. In the tape is a phrase of a woman when she is intimacy with her lover: "I love you, there is no secret between those who love each other. Now, you and me are safe together." Similarly, there are two in the blurry photos. The scene of people in intimacy. Edward felt instinctively that this mysterious email was inextricably linked to the failure of the mission. President Kennedy has planned to disband the CIA, and Edward's name has appeared on the front of the government's blacklist. If the rape is not found in time, he will be in disaster.
Back in time at Yale University in 1939, Edward played a hilarious musical, disguised as a woman. When removing makeup in the backstage, the famous American secret elite society "Skull and Bones" invited Edward to join their organization, and the ambitious Edward accepted the invitation without hesitation.
At the initiation ceremony, Edward shared the deepest secret of his heart to the colleagues present here naked: On June 4, 1925, Edward, who was only 6 years old at the time, hid in the closet of his father’s room. The father told his son that people can never be right. Those close to you lie, otherwise you will have nothing. After speaking, his father sent Edward out of the door, and then there was a harsh gunshot inside the door. And Edward never told his family that he secretly hid the suicide note his father was holding tightly.
In the library, Edward meets female student Laura. Although Laura was deaf in both ears, she could read lips, and the two quickly developed a good impression of each other. Outside the library, Sam Murlake of the FBI stopped Edward who was about to ride a bicycle. He hoped that Edward, a new member of the "Skull and Bones", could help the country monitor his mentor, Dr. Frederick. Because of investigations, Friedrich has been recruiting young students to join an organization of the Virtue Culture Committee, which is one of the Nazi organizations. Murak hoped that Edward would get the list of members of the organization, and Edward had indeed successfully completed his first mission.
At the "Skull and Bones" party in 1940, a friend and colleague John introduced Edward to his family and sister Kroll, as well as his immediate boss, Mr. Allen. "Skull and Bones first, God second." Kroll obviously has no good feelings for this top-secret organization in the United States. At the same time, her high-profile remarks caught Edward's attention.
General Sullivan, who was paralyzed with both legs, met Edward in a quiet room. He told this dedicated, patriotic, and loyal young man that the United States was about to enter the war and therefore needed to establish an intelligence agency overseas. If Edward is willing to accept this task, he will stay overseas. In a moment of extreme conflict, Kroll's enthusiasm and unrestrained enthusiasm allowed Edward to find an outlet for catharsis.
Kroll's pregnancy forced Edward to choose to marry her, only to break up with his beloved Laura on the beach. At the wedding banquet, Edward told his wife that he was about to leave for England.
In London in 1941, Edward met Mr. Allen in the basement of a clothing store. Allen said that intelligence and counterintelligence are a black art. Edward should study hard and introduce him to a teacher in London, Dr. Friedrich.
Since then Edward officially began his intelligence career. Reality and illusion, dark action and various codes, conspiracy and betrayal, all these fill Edward's life. The young man who used to love poetry may only be a reflection of time, beyond touch.
Father-in-law called and told Edward that his son was born, and Edward, who was delighted, named his son Little Edward.
The British government is worried that Dr. Flandrick, who has always been too casual in his private life, will reveal his identity at any time, and hopes that the Americans will solve him as soon as possible. This burden naturally fell on Edward. In order to save the life of his mentor and to protect himself, Edward begged him to wash his hands in a golden basin. Frederick reminded Edward that he should get away quickly when he still has room for faith and choice. After the breakup, Frederick was beaten by a group of people who had been waiting for a long time, and his body was thrown into the river.
###Is Dr. Friedrich a member of the British intelligence system? Why did the British want to kill him? ###
Time jumped back to Washington in 1961. After confirmation and analysis, the film of the mysterious photos was produced in the Soviet Union. The location of the incident was in Africa, and there was a church opposite the room. After frequency amplification, the originally unintelligible word was identified as "pig." From this, it can be inferred that the source of the Cuban "Bay of Pigs" incident was exposed in the affectionate men and women.
Back to Berlin in 1945, the smoke of World War II seems to have gradually dissipated, but the dark battle between the United States and the Soviet Union also quietly started. Little Edward's fifth birthday is approaching. Edward, who only saw his son in the picture, called home and accidentally learned that his wife's apricot was out of the wall.

Edward, who hasn’t eaten home-cooked meals for a long time, accepted the invitation of secretary Hanna and spent the night there. After waking up, he accidentally found her The hearing aid on the bedside table, and Hanna, who was talking happily with him at this time, had no hearing impairment. Edward then realized that he had raised a spy.
In 1946, Edward returned to his home in Washington. Little Edward is obviously very strange to his father. Although his wife is very happy, her husband's neglect of the family for a long time made her think that she did not know him at all. She confessed that she had cheated because of loneliness.
General Sullivan came to Edward's home to give him a new task. In order to contain the momentum of the Soviet Union's world hegemony, the United States decided to establish an overseas intelligence agency again. Little Edward who walked into the room to play interrupted the conversation between the two, Kroll hurried in and took his son out. Sullivan told Edward that no matter what we do, we are only employees of the country and cannot trust anyone.
Edward received the fingers of his men from the Soviets, and he felt that it was a moment of urgency. Little Edward was very curious about his father's mysterious work. He asked his father who he was calling. Edward said perfunctorily that this was a conversation between adults.
Guests mentioned it at random at the table, and Kroll told them that his husband was an intelligence agent. Edward immediately rejected his wife's statement politely. Kroll believed that her husband was very disrespectful to her friends and complained loudly that he had lived with ghosts over the years. During the quarrel, the rapid sound of the phone made Edward leave the house again. Little Edward, standing at the top of the stairs, saw all this in his eyes.
The start against the Soviet Union was very successful, and Edward took his family to Sullivan's home to celebrate Christmas. Little Edward, who saw "Santa Claus", did not have the slightest expression of joy, and even pissed on "Santa Claus". In the bathroom, little Edward hugged his father tightly.
In 1947, a Soviet man calling himself Valenti Georgovich Minov provided Edward with information about the Soviet Union’s "unwitting" organization and the name of the agent, as well as someone who had always been mysterious but had close ties to the Soviet Union. The weakness of "Ulysses".
#### Billy Krudup’s role of Azie Cummings is partly derived from the KGB spy Kim Philby (Kim Philby) installed inside the British Intelligence Agency. ###
Azi Cummings came to share the intelligence of Valenti Georvic Minov and gave him a copy of Ulysses.
At the end of the movie, Edward finds a flaw in "Ulysses" and exposes the fake Minov.
In 1958, Edward met his old lover Laura while watching a Soviet stage play. The sudden breakup on the beach 20 years ago did not annihilate the relationship between the two, and the fire of love soon burned again.
Soon, Kroll received a photo of her husband's embarrassment. She finally couldn't suppress the grievances against her husband for 20 years, and threw the photo at her husband in front of the guests. For the sake of his son, he decided to break up with Lola and return the golden cross that Lola left with him a long time ago.
Little Edward smoked a cigarette in front of his father. He said to his father: "I have a lot of things you don't understand. I want to join the CIA now. I want you to be proud of me." Facing his son's insistence, Edward promised his wife that Do your best to protect your son.
In March 1961, Little Edward, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, heard the conversation between his father and colleagues about the Cuban operation. Edward reminded his son not to disclose a word to the outside world. At another "Skull and Bones" party, Kroll told her husband that he had decided to leave him.
The location of the mysterious photo was finally revealed. Edward went to the Congo where the incident occurred alone and found the room opposite the church. Seeing the model of the sailboat on the bedside table, Edward seems to have known the truth. At this time, "Ulysses" appeared in front of him and said that Little Edward was betrayed by their female spies and betrayed the US hiding place in the "Bay of Pigs" project. To be loyal to the country or to protect his loved ones is a ruthless choice before Edward.
Edward asked his son to leave the woman as soon as possible, but little Edward did not agree. He complained to his father for the first time: "I never know what security is, because I live in secret. You taught me not to trust anyone, and now I am too I won't believe you, I will marry her!"
Little Edward invited his parents to bless his wedding. While the family was drinking champagne, Edward's perfect plan was underway. In a deal with "Ulysses", the son's fiancée was thrown off the plane alive, the white wedding dress was flying in the air, and the church bells whirled hollowly. "She is pregnant." Little Edward said to his father calmly.
###Is Edward recruited by Ulysses at the end to become a KGB? ###
"I am a liar, a coward, I am sorry to my wife and son, I hope my son is a brave man, a good father, a good husband." Edward opened the letter left by his father before he died for the first time , And then watched it disappear in the burning spark.
So, is the current narrative of the story (1961) talking about Ulysses's use of beauty tricks to kill Little Edward, obtain information from Cuban Bay of Pigs, and blackmail and successfully recruit Edward?
