196 1 In April, international public opinion paid close attention to the American anti-Castro riots and invasion of Cuba. In Washington, Edward Wilson, one of the important members of the Central Intelligence Agency, met a child who asked him for change on the bus to the office. When he came to the office, he handed a dollar exchange slip to his colleagues, aimed at the numbers on the paper money, and found that the code name of the task was "the leader in red". At this moment, 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 set out to support it, is also facing a crisis of not being able to replenish its troops in time. Assistant Brooke told Edward that the enemy knew where they were hiding and there was no doubt that there was a mole in the CIA.
After the mission failed, Edward returned to Washington and received a mysterious email left at his door, which contained a tape and some photos. The video shows a woman making out with her lover: "I love you. There are no secrets between lovers. Now, you are safe with me. " Similarly, fuzzy photos are also scenes of two people making out. Edward instinctively felt that this mysterious email was inextricably linked with the failure of this mission. President Kennedy planned to disband the CIA, and Edward's name suddenly appeared at the top of the government blacklist. If the mole is not found in time, he will be in great trouble.
1939 Back at Yale University, Edward disguised himself as a man and performed a hilarious musical. When removing makeup backstage, the famous American secret elite society "skull and bones" invited Edward to join their organization, and Edward accepted the invitation without hesitation.
At the initiation ceremony, Edward shared the deepest secret with all colleagues present:1On June 4th, 925, Edward, who was only 6 years old, was hiding in the closet of his father's room, and his father told his son that one should never lie to the person closest to him, otherwise he would have nothing. Then my father sent Edward out of the door, and then there was a harsh gunshot from the back door. Edward never told his family that he secretly hid his father's suicide note in his hand.
In the library, Edward met Laura, a female student. Although Laura was deaf in both ears, she could read lips and they soon fell in love with each other. Outside the library, Sam Mellake of the FBI stopped Edward who was about to ride his bike. He hopes that Edward, a new member of skull and bones, can help the state supervise his tutor, Dr. Frederick. Because after investigation, Friedrich has been recruiting young students to join a German culture committee, which is one of the Nazi organizations. Murray wanted Edward to get the list of members of the organization, and Edward successfully completed his first task.
At the "skull and bones" party on 1940, friend and colleague John introduced Edward to his family, his sister kroll and his future boss, Mr. Allen. "skull and bones first, God second". Obviously, kroll doesn't like this top secret organization in the United States. At the same time, her high-profile remarks caught Edward's attention.
General Sullivan, whose legs were paralyzed, met Edward in a quiet room. He told this dedicated, patriotic and loyal young man that the United States is about to enter the war, so it is necessary to set up intelligence agencies overseas. If Edward is willing to accept this task, he will stay overseas. At the moment of extreme ambivalence, kroll's enthusiasm gave Edward an outlet to vent.
Kroll's pregnancy forced Edward to choose to marry her and break up with his beloved Lola on the beach. At the wedding reception, Edward told his wife that he was going to England.
In London, Edward met Mr Allen in the basement of a clothing store. Allen said that intelligence and counterintelligence are a black art, and Edward should study hard. He introduced his teacher in London, Dr. Frederick.
Since then, Edward has officially started his intelligence career. Reality and illusion, night action and various code names, conspiracy and betrayal are all filled with Edward's life. The young man who once loved poetry may be just a reflection of time and untouchable.
The father-in-law called Edward to tell him that his son was born, and Edward, who was overjoyed, named his son little Edward.
The British government is worried that Dr Frederick, who has always been too casual in his private life, will reveal his identity at any time, and hopes that Americans will get rid of him as soon as possible. The burden naturally fell on Edward. In order to save the teacher's life and protect himself, Edward asked him to wash his hands. Frederick reminded Edward to leave while he still had confidence and choice. After breaking up, 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 frederick a member of the British intelligence system? Why did the British kill him? ###
Time jumps back to Washington in 196 1 year. After confirmation and analysis, the films of those mysterious photos were produced by the Soviet Union. The incident took place in Africa, and there was a church opposite the room. After frequency amplification, the originally inaudible words were identified as "pigs", from which it can be inferred that the source of the exposure of the "Bay of Pigs" incident in Cuba lies in intimate men and women.
Back in Berlin in 1945, the smoke of World War II seems to have gradually dispersed, but the dark war between the United States and the Soviet Union has also quietly started. Little Edward's fifth birthday is coming. Edward, who only saw his son in the photo, called home and accidentally learned that his wife was having an affair.
# # # Edward reached an agreement with the KGB, and the head of KGB Ulysses appeared # # #
Edward hasn't had an ordinary meal for a long time. He accepted the invitation of his secretary Hannah to spend the night there. When he woke up, he accidentally found her hearing aid on the bedside table, but Hannah, who was talking happily with him, didn't see any hearing impairment. Edward realized that he had trained a spy himself.
1946, Edward returned to his home in Washington. Little Edward is obviously a stranger to his father. Although the wife is very happy, her husband's long-term neglect of the family makes her feel that she doesn't know him at all. She admitted that she had cheated on her because of loneliness.
General Sullivan came to Edward's house and gave him a new task. In order to curb Soviet hegemony in the world, the United States decided to set up overseas intelligence agencies again. Little Edward who came in to play interrupted their conversation. Kroll hurried in and took his son out. Sullivan told Edward that no matter what we do, we are only state employees and we can't trust anyone.
Edward received a finger from his subordinates sent by the Soviets. He felt it was urgent. Little Edward is curious about his father's mysterious work. He asked his father who he was talking to. Edward perfunctory him, saying that this is a conversation between adults.
Guests casually mentioned it at the dinner table, and kroll told them that her husband was an intelligence officer. Edward immediately politely denied his wife's statement. Kroll thinks that her husband is very disrespectful to her friends and complains loudly that he has been living with ghosts for years. During the quarrel, Edward ran away from home again because of an emergency call. Little Edward stood on the stairs and saw all this in his eyes.
After a successful start in the Soviet Union, Edward took his family to Sullivan's house to celebrate Christmas. Little Edward, who saw Santa Claus, was not happy at all and peed on Santa Claus. In the bathroom, little Edward hugged his father tightly.
1947, a Soviet who claimed to be Valenti Jorjevik Minov provided Edward with the information of the Soviet "uninformed" organization and the names of its agents, as well as the weakness of "Ulysses". This person's identity has always been mysterious, but it is closely related to the Soviet Union.
Archie Cummings, played by billy crudup, is partly derived from Kim Philby, a spy planted by KGB in British intelligence agencies. ###
Archie Cummings came to share the information of Valenti Jorjevik Minov and gave him a copy of Ulysses.
At the end of the film, Edward discovered the flaw of Ulysses and exposed the fake Minov.
1958, Edward happened to meet his old lover Lola while watching a Soviet stage play. The sudden breakup on the beach 20 years ago did not annihilate their feelings, and the fire of love soon burned again.
Soon, kroll received photos of her husband's infidelity. She finally couldn't hold back her resentment against her husband for 20 years and threw the photo at him in front of the guests. For the sake of his son, he decided to break up with Lola and return the gold cross that Lola left him a long time ago to its original owner.
Little Edward smoked a cigarette in front of his father. He said to his father, "There are many things you don't know about me. I really want to join the CIA now. I want you to be proud of me. " Facing his son's obstinacy, Edward promised his wife that he would try his best to protect his son.
196 1 March, little Edward, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, heard the conversation between his father and his colleagues about Cuba's actions. Edward reminded his son not to divulge a word. On another skull and bones, kroll told her husband that she had decided to leave him.
The location of the mysterious photo was finally revealed. Edward went to Congo alone and found the room opposite the church. Seeing the model sailboat on the bedside table, Edward seems to know the truth. At this time, Ulysses appeared in front of him, telling the story that little Edward was confused by their female spy and betrayed the hiding place of the United States in the "Bay of Pigs" project. Loyalty to the country or saving relatives is a ruthless choice before Edward.
Edward asked his son to leave the woman quickly, but little Edward disagreed. He complained to his father for the first time: "I never know what security is because I live in a secret." You taught me not to trust anyone, and now I won't trust you. I want to marry her! "
Little Edward invited his parents to bless his wedding. While the family was drinking champagne, Edward's most elaborate plan was under way. A deal was made with "Ulysses", and my son's fiancee was thrown off the plane alive, and the white wedding dress fluttered in the air, and the church bell was spinning in the air. "She's pregnant." Little Edward said quietly to his father.
# # # Edward was finally recruited by Ulysses and became the KGB? ###
"I am a liar and a coward. I feel sorry for my wife and son. I hope my son is a brave man, a good father and a good husband. " Edward opened the letter left by his father before his death for the first time, and then watched it disappear into the burning sparks.
So, the current narrative (196 1) is about Ulysses killing Edward Jr. with a honey trap, obtaining information about the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, and extorting and recruiting Edward successfully?
