A Most Wanted Man Page #3

Synopsis: When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist? Based on John le Carré's novel, A MOST WANTED MAN is a contemporary, cerebral tale of intrigue, love, rivalry, and politics that prickles with tension right through to its last heart-stopping scene.

Mr. Thomas Brue.

Colonel Grigori Borisovich Karpov,

stationed in Chechnya, 1986.

He was involved with organized crime.

Big time. Drugs for arms.

White slave traffic.

You name it he was in to it.

Karpov died two years ago.

- And?

- He had a son.

Ivan.

Born, 1986 in Chechnya.

Mother unknown.

Good.

Frulein Richter?

Please follow me.

Please?

What exactly is Sanctuary North?

I'm a lawyer.

Our clients are people

who have left their place of birth.

They are effectively stateless.

They are often traumatized.

What is it you want, Miss Richter?

A donation?

I'm sorry.

That was insensitive.

I'm here on behalf of a client.

His name is Issa Karpov.

Is the name known to you?

Karpov?

No.

He is in possession of a letter

written by your father to his.

It makes reference to a Mr. Lipizzaner,

as in the Spanish horses which

are born black but gradually turn white.

Yes.

This is a process I'm guessing

your bank is familiar with?

The letter contains a number.

- Does it fit?

- Does it fit what?

Is the number an account reference

in use at this bank?

I'm afraid my bank doesn't broadcast

the manner in which it does its business.

I'm sure that suits your clients very well.

But if this number does pertain

to an account held at this bank,

it would have been established

quite some time ago.

I will need to check our records.

Once I have done so I will call you.

When?

My client's situation in Hamburg

is extremely sensitive Mr. Brue.

I'm sure.

He trusts you.

As, judging by the contents of the letter,

his father trusted yours.

Big boy.

Six...

Sorry.

That's all right. I've given up.

Yeah? Good luck with that.

Yes?

Okay.

The Atlantic.

I'll be there.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Have something to drink?

Glass of wine?

Still water please.

Still water. Of course.

You frequent the Atlantic?

Not your scene?

You said your client's situation

was sensitive, hence the hurry.

I can confirm that

the reference number you supplied

does pertain to an account

held at Brue Frres Bank.

Then he intends to make a claim.

Then tell him to bring a large suitcase.

Of course he will need

to establish his identity.

My client entered the country

in difficult circumstances.

He has the letter.

- I will need to see it.

- Of course.

And in addition, he will need to

provide a certain instrument.

Which is?

I'm afraid I can't say,

but if your client is legitimate

he will know what I am talking about.

And if he has this instrument?

I see no difficulty in proceeding.

She's coming out.

Attractive.

Not my type-

What is your type, Gnther?

You are, Irna. You know that.

Johannes-Brahms-Platz.

Hello, Tommy.

And you are?
