Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Page #3

Russia's bitterly opposed

to a new Turkish pipeline,

which could see Russian economic

dominance of oil exports shattered.

The big question,

will the U.S. defy Russia?

AMERICAN DIPLOMAT: The only thing

that the Turks and the Georgians

would undermine with their pipeline

is Russia's monopoly on the Eastern

European natural gas market.

We both know that.

If you block our proposal

and the pipeline is approved,

oil falls below $79 a barrel

and the Russian government

goes bankrupt.

In our judgment,

your assessment is extreme.

Thank you.

Our request comes

from my country's highest level.

And it is respectfully denied from mine.

Then we will regard this

as an act of economic war.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:

While Wall Street talks up

the robust performance of the dollar,

many commentators look to the U.N.

and the bitter standoff

between the United States and Russia.

The U.S. has the upper hand for now,

but fears exist about exactly how

an angry Russia

and Russian business will react

to the likely disastrous effects

for the Russian economy

of America's U.N. veto.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISPERS) Tell him he will need

somebody in Moscow.

- He'll want you.

- No, I'm just an analyst.

Our Russian partners

are hiding accounts from us.

It's, um, all in the data.

Nobody else understands the data.

Harper will want you.

Just get yourself to Moscow.

WOMAN:

Operator. Operator. Operator!

OPERATOR:
(IN FILM) Your call, please.

WOMAN:
Operator,

I've been ringing Murray Hill, 35097,

for the last half hour

and the line is always busy.

Will you ring it for me, please?

(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)

Hello?

Jack?

(PANTING)

(PANTING)

You home yet?

(PEOPLE SPEAKING

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- I bet you looked cute.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR:...overseas,

where we see

a surprisingly sturdy

performance by the dollar,

holding its ground in spite of

the Turkish pipeline vote at the U.N.

and the latest deficit news.

Anika, your reaction?

Well, surprised,

pleased certainly, but this is extremely

unusual behavior by the market.

Commodities should be moving in

the opposite direction of the dollar.

You'd see a very different direction

by investors as well.

They usually waver

from one day to the next...

Is work okay?

Yeah. Yeah, it was good.

Sorry about that. Yeah.

So, you feel like a movie this weekend?

Sure.

There's a revival of Sorry,

Wrong Number at the Film Forum.

I was thinking that might be fun.

Uh...

Yeah.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Have you ever seen it?

Um...

You know what

I haven't seen is the waiter for, like,

10 minutes. Have you seen him?

- No.

- Where'd he run off to?
