Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Page #2

Synopsis: This new version of the saga of CIA analyst Jack Ryan begins as Jack attends the London School of Economics. 9/11 happens. He subsequently enlists in the Marines, sustaining severe injuries when the chopper deploying him to Afghanistan is shot down. While in intense rehab, he grabs the attention of Harper, a man who works for the CIA and who would like Jack to finish his studies, get a job on Wall Street, and seek out terrorist plots through their financial transactions. Ten years pass. Jack finds anomalies in the accounts of a Russian named Cherevin and thinks he should go to Russia to check out what's going on. He's told not to tell anyone who he is, including his girlfriend Cathy, which makes her doubt him when she catches him in some lies. In Russia, Cherevin assigns someone to assist Jack, but when the two are alone, the man tries to kill Jack instead, so Jack kills him. Obviously, Cherevin is hiding something. Jack goes to meet him and says he'll bring his fiancée along, but when

Two-thirds of it, yes. My, uh...

My dissertation.

The same John P. Ryan

who filed three separate reports

on traffic patterns in and around

the Saabir Khan Bridge?

Uh, yes, sir.

It's impressive work.

How did you get a hold of that, sir?

(WHISPERS) I'm in the CIA.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Jack?

Oh, hey.

So, this is, uh... This is good-bye.

I'm glad I found you.

No more P.T. work for you?

No, just eye-doctoring.

Congratulations.

I'm hungry. You wanna buy me dinner?

You know I can't.

All right, you win. I'll buy.

I'll make you a deal.

The day you run all the way out of here,

we'll have dinner.

And split the check.

See ya.

See ya.

Good luck.

(CHUCKLES)

Jesus, you weren't kidding.

You are in the CIA.

Somebody has to be.

Why didn't you finish your Ph.D.?

- I joined the Marines.

- And saved two of your men.

You handled yourself like a hero.

If you still want to serve your country,

there's another way.

You're not really in the CIA, are you?

(CHUCKLES)

What are you? Treasury?

Foreign Asset Control?

You know, I'm not supposed to tell

anybody what I do for a living.

And now, look, I've just told you twice.

What do you want from me?

I want to send you back to school

to finish your doctorate.

Then you'll join

Financial Intelligence as an analyst.

You'll work in a series

of private banks on Wall Street,

where you'll use your position

to uncover funding for terror groups.

Covertly.

Yep. So you have to keep it to yourself.

Your employers won't know

you work for us.

The people you love

won't know you do, either.

It's gonna get lonely,

but it's how we like to do things.

You know, people don't like you guys

very much these days.

Waterboarding. Rendition.

Not my unit.

Come on. You can do better than that.

I can.

And I do.

And so do the people in my unit.

Which unit is that?

The one that makes sure

we don't get hit again.

- (CAR HORNS BLARING)

- (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

I knew.

I knew when you saw me ride it,

you'd want one.

Mmm.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

Oh, her name's Sarah, by the way.

Who?

The one you like in Arbitrage.

How'd you know that?

Why else would anybody

buy a motorcycle?

- Teddy Hefferman?

- Sarah, yes.

Jack Ryan said you could help me

with the Balfour arbitrage.

- How're you doing?

- Hi.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Uh, what do you have?

This looks good.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:

The World Bank urging caution

as volatilities in emerging markets

continue to remind investors

that with unprecedented

global interconnectivity,

even the strongest economies

This just in.

Last minute negotiations

are expected today

as the security council of

the United Nations votes.
