During the Cold War, ex-smuggler Harry Palmer is enrolled as a reluctant but talented spy; sent to Berlin, Harry embarks on a dangerous mission and his survival depends on his own wits and the interventions of Maddox.
Palmer embraces his intuition, but gun-for-hire Randall is always one step ahead; a tip-off from a key witness draws Jean and Palmer closer to the truth, but their discovery only opens the door to a mystery.
As they chase Randall to Beirut where he holds Dawson, Harry and Jean's relationship intensifies; suspicious Americans watch Dalby and find him in secret talks with a Russian spy; Colonel Stok offers Dalby a tempting trade.
