James Gascoigne is an MI6 spy who is the keeper of a microfilm that contains a list made by a Stasi defector known as Spyglass of every intelligence agent (on both sides) active in Berlin, this list is hidden inside a wristwatch and was stolen when rogue KGB agent Yuri Bakhtin killed Gascoigne.
Lorraine Broughton another field agent is dispatched to Berlin to recover the List and assassinate a man known as Conrad Satchel, a double agent who betrayed Gascoigne and has been selling intelligence to the Soviets for years, in Berlin Lorraine is supposed to meet with her contact in Berlin, David Percival but is attacked by Bremovych men, however Lorraine manages to defeat them and meet up with Percival.
Bremovych is first seen interrogating people about the List, he forces one of them to dance to 99 Luftballons before brutally beating him to death with a skateboard, then his men inform him that the list was stolen and he orders them to find it. Then Lorraine meets Aleksander face to face by chance in a local nightclub where she also meets Delphine Lasalle, an undercover French agent and enters in a romantic relationship with her.

3 days later, she meets with Bremovych in Paris, revealing herself to be Satchel. Lorraine gives him a fake List, but Bremovych admits he knows she set him up as Percival told him who she really was. Lorraine kills his henchmen, and during the shootout, Bremovych discovers the List is fake and is shot in the neck by Lorraine, as Bremovych dies, Lorraine reveals she was manipulating events from the very beginning and then she finally kills him with a headshot.
