We claim attacks on these foreign ships.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
There will be no sleep tonight
until the West and their
occupation is driven from our land.
Leave my country!
We will find you.
We will attack you wherever you are.

How's the coffee here?
I've had better.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Not what you expected, huh?
Well, to be honest,
when the embassy said
a woman came in hoping to trade
secrets on the drone attack,
I was expecting a little more, um
Desperate and disheveled victim?
Yeah.
I mean, a Chanel blazer
doesn't exactly scream help me.
I don't need your pity.
I need a deal, and I want asylum.
A businesswoman. OK.
What are you offering?
The man responsible for the
attack on one of your ships,
Abdul Akkad.
Abdul Akkad,
the Syrian terrorist leader.
Well, if you can give us Akkad's
location, we'll give you asylum.
I don't have that.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
So what do you have?
A way in.
I'm a wealth manager based in Istanbul.
Work for the Levni Company,
a family run oil refinery
on the Turkish border.
Their money, it was green
for a good long while,
but now it's stained with blood.
They're in business with Abdul Akkad.
OK.
How do you know they're in business?
I saw a suspicious transfer,
a multi-million dollar
transaction to a Shell company.
I dug in, linked it to Akkad.
The Levnis are funding his attacks.
And how exactly are we
supposed to get the Levnis to talk?
Selma Levni lives in New York.
She is getting married
here this weekend.
I could get you in there as my plus one.
The rest is up to you.

How are you?
Patrick is back from London.
De-radicalization camp.
- Anthony filed for divorce.
- Thank you.
And you cannot get
a decent manicure in here.
So they lied on the website, huh?
I'm guessing this
isn't a wellness visit.
How perceptive.
I can't stop thinking about
how those Keown mercenaries
knew Colin and me were at the lake house
with your husband and stepson.
Yeah, strange.
A remote location no one
should have known about,
yet they knew exactly where we were.
It was like they had inside information.
Huh. It is kind of like that.
- What do you want?
- Freedom.
How about library work
instead of porter duty?
[SIGHS] I don't mind a little bleach.
Well, I can always call
the U.S. attorney
and have them move you to
a minimum-security facility.
You can do better.
Now you're just wasting my time.
Wait.
You have a deal.
There's a company that gathers
information from spies.
They have moles in MI6, FSB, the CIA.
They told Keown your location that day.
This company have a name?
I don't have all day.
Pyramid Security.
♪
Yeah, hold on.
So you're telling me
that Colin is the mole?
Well, someone in
the CIA is feeding intel
to Pyramid Security,
and I'll remind you,
that's where Colin's
girlfriend Sarah works.
Right. But could it be a coincidence?
Yeah, could be, but why
would he keep her a secret?
I mean, you seem pretty sold on this.
Look, I don't want to be. That's
just where the evidence is pointing.
All right, well, you've got a theory,
and now you have to make it a case.
So follow the evidence,
see where it goes.
Right. I'll be in touch.
OK.

Hey. What do you think of these?
Wife got 'em for me.
Is it too much or
Hmm.
Barking up the wrong tree there, Larry.
Bill's idea of flashy is a blue shirt.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Solid, not striped.
I don't want you passing out on me now.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Can we focus?
A massive piece of intel
on a major terrorist
just fell into our lap.
Yeah, so, um, today I was approached by
the wealth manager of the Levni Company.
She's claiming that the family
are buying oil from Abdul Akkad.
So I guess the question
we want to ask is,
- is that even possible?
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
Do I seem shocked?
Look, terrorists control
the oil fields in Syria.
And U.S. sanctions
put a cork in it, but
But Al Sulam claimed
the attack on a merchant vessel
- in the Mediterranean yesterday.
- Yeah, 41 Americans killed.
They used long-range,
military-grade drones.
So clearly they've figured some
way around these sanctions.
Those drones ain't cheap.
All right, so the Levni Company
gets cheap crude oil to refine,
and Al Sulam gets money to
finance their war against the West.
Abdul's been on our radar for years.
We just haven't been able
to pin down his location.
Well, the good news is, the Levni family
are all in town this weekend
for a family wedding,
and I can get us in there.
The rehearsal dinner's today.
We need an asset
inside the Levni family,
someone with access,
someone closer to Abdul.
Well, if you guys can figure out
where Abdul's been operating out of,
then we can take care of the rest.
- On it.
- OK.
OK. Thanks, Larry.
Bill, you'll be there too.
Try to blend in with security detail.
What, so Bill's going
undercover as Bill?
You'd be surprised what
I can glean from the sidelines.

You are a romantic.
[CHUCKLES]
So come on then, fill me in.
Mm.
That is Nasir,
acting CEO of Levni Co.
My guess, he's running the oil trade.
Ever since he took over from his father,
profits have gone up 200%.
Well, he seems quite calm for
a man in bed with terrorists.
[CHUCKLES] He's impossible to read.
Controlled.
So, boring then.
[CHUCKLES] If you fancy better company,
try the bride-to-be.
Selma Levni and her fiancé, Ali.
He's an environmental lawyer,
she is a clean energy activist,
and together, they run
Levni Co's Green Energy branch.
Well, there's an oxymoron,
if ever I heard one.
- [CHUCKLES]
- What about the youngest?
Kerem.
To my far left at the end of the bar,
he's head of special
projects at Levni Co.
- Ah, the black sheep.
- The free spirit.
- [CHUCKLES]
- He's not dumb.
But he'd get a lot more traction
if he could control the drinking
and the drugs and a dozen other things.
Fun.
Well, seems like we've got
the best shot of turning Kerem.
Kerem. Hello.
Ah, Zara, hello.
- You look fantastic.
- Oh.
[CHUCKLES] I want you to meet Phil.
- Hey, man. How are you?
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Phil.
I run a mid-tech VC fund
at Pollard-Heyer,
and, uh, well, Zara was just telling me
here about your latest placement.
It's impressive, man.
How'd you find 'em?
Well, Zara, you're
embarrassing me, first of all.

Oh, that's very thoughtful. Thank you.
I have a rule. No eating while on duty.
Oh.
I thought we were going
to have a small wedding,
and then Ali decided to fly
in a chef from Turkey, so
My fiancée is the same.
Said she wanted modest,
now we're talking floral arches

- Oh, thanks.
- Hi, I'm Ali.
- Bill.
Enjoying the food?
- I flew in the most
- Oh, he heard. He heard.
- And?
- Oh, I haven't tried it yet.
I will be taking a doggy bag
on the way home, though.
It smells delicious.
Hello. Thank you for coming.
I'm Nasir, Selma's brother.
I wish our father could be here
to welcome you all,
but we all pray for his swift recovery.
Selma has always been
the heart of our family.

No, I don't.
Yeah, he knew what he
was doing and that was a hit.
But I'd buy he doesn't know
who hired him.

Hey, guys, come here for a second.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Nasir is dead.
The tox report came back
with high concentrations
of cyanide in his blood.
The killer took no chances.
So the caterer seems
to be an assassin for hire.
Question now is,
who wanted Nasir off the board?
If Nasir was working with Abdul Akkad,
maybe their deal went south.
This could be payback.
Or it could be a power play.
I mean, with Nasir out of the way,
the CEO spot opens up.
Whoever it is, the best course of action
is still getting an asset
inside the family.

When Nasir took over,
he inherited Levni Co's money problems,

Do you know these shady people?
He wouldn't say.
Didn't want to drag me into it.
I mean, he didn't even admit
to it until a week ago.
He just told me that
he wanted out of the deal

What if I'm not, um, hungry?
Kerem, I see how people
underestimate you in your life,
but I know that you would be
a great addition to my team.
Speak soon.
Kerem seems game on the asset front.
I think I can get him there.
Well, Selma and Ali are
gonna take a little more time,
but both claim Nasir
was dirty and wanted out.
So it's plausible Al Sulam killed him.
You don't kill your inside man
unless you had a backup plan.
There must be someone else.
Hey, so I've been looking at the family
financials that Zara sent over.
We know that Nasir's killer
was paid $47,000,
which is 2.1 million Turkish lira.
But guess who just
converted that exact amount
- to crypto two weeks ago?
- Kerem.
Damn. I told him I was CIA.
He's probably on the run as we speak.
We gotta move now. You got his location?
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Yes, I can place that for you.
Please hold.
Kerem's on the line, ordering a burger,
fully dressed, no tomato, side of fries.
Meaning?
Meaning he wants to be an asset
or pretend to be one.
OK, so Kerem is working for Al Sulam,
paid to have his brother killed,
and now he wants to be a CIA asset.
Why?
Well, maybe he wants something from us.
Or maybe he's buying time,
trying to throw us off.
- Or maybe it's a trap.
- Also a possibility.
OK, so I
I distract Kerem with Spycraft 101
while you clone his phone,
and then we just hope
- that he's not setting us up.
- Yeah.
If Kerem is working with Al Sulam,
then hopefully we'll find
proof on his phone.
Best case, it leads us
straight to Abdul Akkad.
And worst case?
- You react accordingly.
- Like

No, you just keep your cool.
Don't give him time to think.
You'll be just fine.

I think so. Come take a look at this.
There are several emails

to crypto transfers from a Ramzi Fayez,
who's an art dealer,
Syrian national based here in New York.
So Kerem paid for
the hit on his brother.
- These are our receipts?
- Well, yes and no.
I mean, technically, it is a receipt,
but it's for a Mesopotamian orthostat.
It's a 3,000-year-old slab of marble
from the Palace of Nimrud.
You know, 47K seems cheap
considering the cultural significance.
Well, that's because he's not buying it,
Zeeb. It's a front.
Kerem pays for rare antiques in crypto,
and then Ramzi uses that
to hire out a hit on Nasir.
Well, do you want me to send
the address to Colin?
No, he's busy.

Zeeb, you finish sorting
through Kerem's phone?
Anything damning?
I think so. Come take a look at this.
There are several emails
and texts pertaining
to crypto transfers from a Ramzi Fayez,
who's an art dealer,
Syrian national based here in New York.
So Kerem paid for
the hit on his brother.
- These are our receipts?
- Well, yes and no.
I mean, technically, it is a receipt,
but it's for a Mesopotamian orthostat.
It's a 3,000-year-old slab of marble
from the Palace of Nimrud.
You know, 47K seems cheap
considering the cultural significance.
Well, that's because he's not buying it,
Zeeb. It's a front.
Kerem pays for rare antiques in crypto,
and then Ramzi uses that
to hire out a hit on Nasir.
Well, do you want me to send
the address to Colin?
No, he's busy.
He said he's meeting with a source.
But you know what? Send it to Bill.
Tell him to ruffle some feathers, huh?
