Directed by David Leitch. Written by Kurt Johnstad, based on the novel The Coldest City by Antony Johnston and Sam Hart. Talents can be overrated. Lorraine Broughton [to Bremovych as he dies] Did you really think I was going to give you that list?... Before you die, I want you to get this through that thick, primitive skull. I never worked for you. You worked for me... Every false intel I gave you, a rip in the iron curtain. Every piece of intel you gave me, a bullet in my fucking gun. I want my life back. You know those movies where the picture just starts to slow down... and melt? Then catch fire? Well, that's Berlin. David Percival You can't un-fuck what's been fucked. You know, a beautiful Italian girl once said to me, "David, you can't unfuck what's been fucked." Women are always getting in the way of progress, aren't they? So, what have I learned after all this time? After all the sleepless nights, lying to friends, lovers, myself? Playing this crooked game in this crooked town filled with backstabbers and four-faced liars? I'll tell you what I've learned. One thing and one thing only. I fucking love Berlin! Ironic. The news will tell them there will be no more secrets. But you and I, we both know that's not true. This world is run on secrets. Dialogue Chief 'C': I'm putting you on leave, effective immediately. We'll start the next decade well rested. Lorraine Broughton: C? What should I wear... for my tea with the queen? David Percival: Let me help you with your bags. [opens the trunk of the upside down car with luggage falling out] Lorraine Broughton: Fucks sake! David Percival: [dragging a henchman] Russians are fucking heavy... Lorraine Broughton: Five minutes on the ground, and I'm already made. David Percival: You're not made. [throws Russian into his car] Lorraine Broughton: They knew my name. David Percival: That's troubling. Lorraine Broughton: ...and yours. David Percival: Probably surprising. Lorraine Broughton: [punches waking Russian in the face] Great fucking start, Percival... Lorraine Broughton: I've read your file. I've also read your dog file. So let's cut the crap, shall we? This whole hungover, show-up-late, don't-know-which-way-is-up act, I'm not buying it. I trust you about as far as I can throw you. David Percival: "It's a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver." Lorraine Broughton: Niccolo Machiavelli. It was on your shelf. David Percival: Oh my God, I think I fucking love you! Lorraine Broughton: That's too bad. Delphine Lasalle: When you tell the truth, you look different. Your eyes change. Lorraine Broughton: Thanks for the warning. Lorraine Broughton: You've got some balls breaking in here. David Percival: You should see my balls. Then you'd be really impressed! Lorraine Broughton: Where the fuck are you? David Percival: Don't shoot, I've got your shoe! James Gascoine: You know, I always thought if I was caught it would be by one of the best. But you're not the best, are you Bakhtin? You're the biggest fucking cunt in the KGB. Yuri Bakhtin: Sticks and stones, Jimmy. Coroner: I will not release this body without the correct information. Lorraine Broughton: It's a simple mistake. Coroner: Miss Lloyd, in Germany, we don't make simple mistakes. Lorraine Broughton: You went to the KGB to take me out. You were too fucking scared to do it yourself. David Percival: Too smart, more like. Lorraine Broughton: Are you going to lie till the very end? David Percival: [laughing, gulps, gasps] Truth and lies. People like us don't know the difference. Lorraine Broughton: No, we know the difference, David. We choose to ignore it. Emmett Kurzfeld: Let's go home. Lorraine Broughton: That sounds good. Emmett Kurzfeld: "Cocksucker?" Really? Lorraine Broughton: [chuckles] I'm glad it was convincing.
