Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War

Jesus Christ.

Crown is there. He knows.

Get out. Now.

Go.

I said get out.

No can do, sir.

Listen to me. You're in danger.

No hesitation.

Clear.

Shit.

Crown's on the way up. You don't have much time.

Contact front!

Come on.

Got it!

Is he listening?

Oh, goddamn it.

Sorry, Nigel.

Hey.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Are you kidding me?

Of course you would choose a bookstore.

And a restaurant.

- You saw the restaurant. - Yeah.

You're deputy director of the CIA. You can't just call?

- Where's the fun in that? - You owe me a coffee.

Ah, you got it.

- It's good to see you. - Yeah.

Good to see you, too.

Just letting the office know I've been kidnapped.

Thank you.

What time is your flight?

Four hours.

So, this is Wall Street, huh?

Well, technically, it's Broadway, but...

Mm. Which building is yours?

The tall one.

This the part of the conversation where you ask if I like my new gig?

Well, do you?

You leave the CIA for a nice civilian job.

Uh, I was just checking in on you.

Yeah. You like your new gig?

Ugh, it's shit.

See? We feel about the same way.

Listen, I just couldn't keep doing what I was doing and have a normal life.

Normal life. Is that what you were going for?

Come on. You said it yourself: Civilian.

Black and white. I don't know, man.

I don't know if I was cut out for all this gray area stuff.

So, have you seen her?

No. Not since Christmas.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

We gave it a real shot, you know? And that's all you can ask for.

Cathy's doing what she was meant to be doing.

And you?

And me?

Well, see, I haven't been out of the agency long enough

to forget what it was like to be baited.

Bait? There's no bait.

- Oh. - You said it yourself.

You gave it a shot.

Yeah? And this? All this?

It's never gonna be good enough for you.

That's a good speech.

Whatever it is, I'm not doing it.

Look, I'm not asking you to come back. I just need you to meet a guy.

No.

Oh, Jack, you're flying to Dubai. He's in Dubai.

He'll come to you. It's just a pickup.

- Oh, it's just a pickup. - Yeah.

Oh, okay. Pickup of what?

Information. Surveillance.

Well, which one is it?

Goddamn it, Jack. He's a friend.

- So he'd do the same for you? - Hell no.

Yeah, Nigel is the twitchiest spook I know.

But I'm the better man.

You always are.

So, what is it?

It's housekeeping.

It's an old joint op with MI6.

MI6?

Jesus. You surveilling one of them or one of us?

- Bit of both. - Well, that doesn't sound good.

Well, shit.

For someone who wants nothing to do with it, you sure ask a lot of questions.

Well, it's 'cause I know what happens when I get caught

doing one of your errands out in the private sector.

- Oh, no one's gonna know. - Really?

- Nah. - You sound pretty confident.

What, you think I would send you out there all alone?

Oh, wow. Are you sending backup?

Hmm.

Oh, shit. Look who it is.

Oh.

Oh, so you're trying to get me killed.

- No offense taken. - This is it?

This is the kind of crackerjack officer you're going for at the agency now?

Just trying to fill your shoes, buddy.

- On a contract basis. - Ouch.

But you know what? We'll always have Dubrovnik, right, Mike?

Call me when it's done.

- You got it. - Whoa, where are you going?

Welcome back.

I said I wasn't doing it.

Don't do that.

You're better than that.

He's good, isn't he?

- Upgraded. - I already have my ticket.

- First class, man. I upgraded both of us. - Oh. You really never change.

It's like a disease.

Hey, are you checking a bag?

Yeah. Short trip.

You know, I can fit it in my carry-on. We're good.

Hey.

Do you mind if I leave this down? I'm an anxious flyer.

Are you? Oh, boy.

I knew he'd call you.

- Greer says you're meeting a guy. - No. No, no, no.

I'm not meeting a guy.

No, you and I both know that it's never just meeting a guy.

He said it is not a big deal. All right?

- Guy's gonna come to you. - Is he? 'Cause we're on a plane.

Well, first we got to go to him. Fine.

But he's gonna come to you. You get it.

I don't get it, no. In fact, why don't you just do it?

Because I got to make sure nobody follows.

But why would somebody follow me?

- Because it's never just meeting a guy. - Because it's never just meeting a guy.

I know. That's what I was saying.

That's cute.

Think Emirati Intelligence is buying your old hedge fund cover?

- This isn't a cover. This is real life. - Mm-hmm.

- No, no. I know. - I'm actually the senior vice president

- of a risk management... - Just keep talking, buddy.

- You're gonna help me sleep. - Hi. Can I offer you champagne?

Is that an angel?

It's my first time in first.

She never would've guessed.

- Thank you. - That's for someone else.

- Come on, man. - They don't usually give out two.

Uh-huh.

- One per. - Mm-hmm.

- One per. - Mm-hmm. Cheers.

The Jakartan trade market is not only back,

but it's never been stronger.

Dr. Ryan, do you have anything that you'd like to add?

Jack?

Oh, um, no.

Don't let me be the one to bring down the optimism in the room.

I think we can all agree, the new regime has certainly bolstered the market.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Um, I think the question we need to be asking ourselves is: Why?

Because this new regime has also brought back old-world standards.

And these days, it's becoming increasingly convenient

to overlook the political ramifications of something

in order to track the financial ramifications.

What I mean is,

in my unique experience,

the kind of minds that want to bring back the past,

well, they often bring back a whole lot of volatility with them.

I thought that went well.

I think you're being kind.

I think you're worried about your job, which you should be,

because honesty is clearly not the best policy.

Well, it probably feels weird when global events don't hang in the balance.

Wait a minute. I'm sorry, was that a spy joke?

- It was. - Oh. Took you long enough.

- Oh, you know. - Hey, listen,

don't knock imminent nuclear threat until you've tried it.

- Oh. - It's a thing.

So, I guess SLJ made reservations for our team tonight at Shiro's.

Oh. What's, uh, what's Shiro's?

The kind of upscale restaurant they make documentaries about.

- Really? - Yes.

- Oh, boy. - Hmm.

I, uh...

I'm not quite sure I can tonight.

- Hmm. - And listen,

I'm not usually one to complain.

You're really gonna use the "jet lag" excuse.

With you? Never.

I use "global imminent threat" with you.

I'll see you tomorrow. Hmm?

I hope so.

- Let's go meet a guy. - No.

It's never about just meeting a guy. We talked about that.

And this is what I was talking about.

All right, so what am I picking up?

I don't know.

What?

What are you even doing here?

Honestly.

You and I both know that Emirati Intelligence is not following me.

Greer just asked me to make sure that everything went well.

Why does that make me more nervous?

Look, you're doing Greer a favor, he's doing one for me.

How's that?

I need the money.

Don't you own a house on the coast of everywhere?
