Counterpart (2018) s01e09 Episode Script
No Man's Land, Part One
1 They want to bring over our guests earlier than expected.
She hasn't removed the targets yet.
EMILY PRIME: They're sending agents to replace their counterparts.
GRETA: Tell me something about yourself.
BALDWIN: There's not much to know.
EMILY PRIME: You need to find your friend from the lie exam.
- SHAW: Oh, Kaspar? - He's the only person who knew we were on our way.
KASPAR: I want to order the lunch special.
And I'd like it delivered.
CLARE: You can't keep me here forever.
Sooner or later, you're gonna have to do something.
QUAYLE: I know it looks like all the fingers point at me, but it's not me.
It's Howard Silk.
[BUZZER SOUNDS, LATCH CLICKS.]
PRIME: You willingly let her deceive you.
[GRUNTS.]
- I didn't know she was married.
- HOWARD: She's human.
She made mistakes.
PRIME: She's a fucking fraud, just like my wife.
I guess we have nothing left to say.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[WOMAN SPEAKING GERMAN OVER P.

[ANDREI SIGHS.]
These fucking hospitals.
Greet you with a smile, but take a number, have a seat.
[ANDREI SIGHS.]
What are you in for? My wife was in an accident.
Is she all right? I don't know.
She's in surgery.
I-I can't get any information yet.
I'm Andrei.
Howard.
It's so, uh so normal here.
You know? Your whole life hangs in the balance.
Hmm.
Does bring life into focus, though.
What matters and what doesn't.
What matters to me is her.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
- Yeah.
- QUAYLE: Are you at home? - Yeah.
- Get out.
They're coming to you.
- Who? - Aldrich's men.
Get over to my house.
I'll explain when I see you, but you need to leave.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
I want him found.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLING IN DISTANCE.]
[DOG BARKS.]
[GUN RACKS.]
I'm looking for one of my lie exam men.
Seems he's been informing for you lately.
Goes by the name of Kaspar.
Sound familiar? Rings a bell.
I couldn't find him at his flat.
Thought you might know where he disappeared to.
How was your visit to Potsdam? Here's how this is gonna play out.
I either end your wretched little life right now, or I bring you into Management for you to answer for whatever the hell it is you're caught up in, and they deal with you accordingly.
What's it gonna be? [GUN COCKS.]
I don't know.
Which would you prefer? Fuck you.
Don't be so touchy, dear boy.
Actually, I'm glad you came to see me.
You know, there's something I wanted to ask you about.
If this is how you want it to end, go ahead.
It involves that woman in your life, and the man you think is Howard Silk.
Come now.
Man of your intelligence had to know the truth.
That one is nothing like his other.
Too loyal to her.
You did know.
Why did you let it go on so long? You were waiting? How romantic.
You were hoping she would come to you with the truth.
Well, you might want to act on this sooner rather than later.
God knows what kind of Howard Silk he might turn into the longer he hangs around.
Good luck with Kaspar.
Hope you get to him before I do.

Ja, hallo? POPE: Will you be joining us for supper? Tea is oolong.
We're out of green.
Whose house? POPE: Roderick's.
Make sure your people are there.
I think they're watching me.
Hold up your end of the promise.
[LINE BEEPS.]
POPE: Tea is oolong.
We're out of green.
KASPAR: Whose house? POPE: Roderick's.
KASPAR: Make sure your people are there.
I think they're watching me.
What the hell is an oolong? - It's a tea.
- A tea? MAX: Maybe it's a crypt for dead drops.
Each type's a different address.
We'll never crack that.
EMILY PRIME: It's not for dead drops.
It's a crypt that the old network used to use.
"Tea" is time of day.
"Oolong" is 1100 hours.
Right.
And "Roderick" is a subway exit.
Fuck, I can't remember which.
Potsdamer Platz.
It's an exfiltration.
Pope is gonna help him disappear.
Disappear or "disappear"? EMILY PRIME: Clearly, Pope's not comfortable with how much he knows.
What do you think? Potsdamer Platz it is.
But not him.
This is Housekeeping business.
I'm sick and tired of having a tagalong.
He's right.
Wait here for us.

What do you like? I don't know.
It doesn't have to be my style.
That's the fun of it.
I don't know.
[LAUGHS.]
You're hopeless.
It's like you grew up on a different planet.
Nadia? I don't understand.
Is this some kind of an act? What happened to you? I'm not sure who you think I am.
Are you fucking serious right now? [CHUCKLES.]
Fuck you.
Really.
Whatever this is, fuck you.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
What was that? I don't know her.
Yeah, but she knew you.
It's all right to have a past, but I think we should be honest with each other about it.
She was mistaken.
I don't know her.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
MAX: The next train arrives at 10:58.
That'll be him.
Wait for it.
As soon as we have Kaspar, we need to be fast in getting him out of the open.
I don't trust that Pope won't try something desperate.
I never said thank you for helping yesterday.
I know it's complicated when it comes to him.
Thank you for understanding why I had to work with him.
You can always trust me.
You know that.
I would always listen.
I know.

Kaspar, listen to me, these people are not your friends.
[PANTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
You have no idea! Come with us.
I can keep you safe.
They won't.
[PANTING.]
You don't understand.
That was my only chance.
You just took my only chance! I know what these people can do.
You you've seen it, too.
Whatever they've offered you, you're more important to them dead.
Do you hear me? Whatever it is I can help you.

[DOOR OPENS.]
PRIME: Your wife and kid home? No.
How long have they been here? All night.
[DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLICKS.]
[SIGHS.]
What the hell happened, Peter? Aldrich came over last night, started asking questions about you.
It's pretty safe to say that you're blown.
Me I-I don't know what he knows about me yet.
[SIGHS.]
Fuck.
This could not happen at a worse fucking time.
Did you hear anything from the Interface room? Yeah, three known operatives have crossed in the last couple of days.
At least one of their others works in your office.
They're placing people inside? I think it's time we talked to your wife.
Why? Peter, we're out of options here.
Something big is about to go down, and she knows about it.
No, no, no.
You were right, Howard.
I-I need to keep playing the game.
There's no game, Peter.
It's game over.
- I mean, if I'm blown, we're - [BABY CRYING.]
What the fuck? - [SIGHS.]
- Gun.
Okay, okay.
- Take it easy.
- [QUAYLE MUTTERS.]
[SETS GUN DOWN.]
- You told Aldrich.
- He came to me.
- I had to give him something.
- Right.
Then you get me out of the apartment so they don't capture me, and now what? You're gonna kill me in self-defense? And you think that's gonna keep your secret safe? Peter, I-I got to tell you, this is - this is a bad fucking plan.
- Shut up! Listen, all right? Take it easy.
This doesn't buy you much time.
Even Aldrich is gonna figure out that I'm not the one responsible for five years of leaks from your department.
Okay? It's gonna come back to you.
Yeah, well, I've got time to figure that out.
- We got time right now - You don't have any fucking time! [BABY CRYING.]
[QUAYLE CHOKING.]
Big fucking mistake.
[GRUNTING.]
[PANTING.]
[BIRDS CAWING.]
SHAW: How long have you been working for Pope? How long? Three years now.
He wanted to know vulnerabilities of certain people within the Office.
Could they be coerced and how.
And you shared recordings? Sometimes.
- Damn it.
- Help us, Kaspar.
We need to understand what these people are preparing to do.
Why would they share anything with me? The School.
All those kids they were teaching.
That is years of legwork.
You must have heard something.
What is this? Is this your fucking blood money? Uh, look, just be careful.
Fuck you! Those children died because you made - a fucking phone call! - No, no, no! No, no! [KASPAR PANTING.]
SHAW: What the hell? You're a sad kind of bastard.
HOWARD: Is this your child? Yes.
My son.
How old? Ten.
He would have been ten.
Alexander Pope bribed you with safe passage; is that what went on? Some kind of switch out? He promised you you could visit the other side and see your living son? I can't protect you, Kaspar, if you don't tell me who they are.
Protect me? Don't you understand what they do to anyone who gets in their way? The other you She tried, you know? Reached out to one of ours, months ago.
A warning that people were coming over.
I took it to Pope.
You know what he did? Had her run down, car accident.
That's how far his reach goes! That accident that was Pope?! That's why she's in the hospital? Pope and you?! You trade human lives for some false hope of a second chance?! What? That is not your world over there! That little boy over there is not yours! - Do you understand?! - EMILY PRIME: Howard, stop! I'll tell you who's been working for him.
Everyone I know.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
What happened? What do you think happened? He broke into my fucking house while your men were supposed to be watching.
And you said, last night, if I give you the name, you would protect me.
[ALDRICH SNAPPING FINGERS.]
Okay.
Aldrich.
Find him.
Do whatever you have to do.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[CAR DOORS CLOSE.]
[LINE RINGING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Yeah? ALDRICH: Anything at the house? Nothing.
He swept it clean.
What happened over there? He came to Quayle, but got away.
This is bullshit, Aldrich.
Quayle's not telling us something.
Let's bring him in.
Not yet.
Silk can't possibly be Shadow.
Neither is Quayle.
There's someone else he's protecting.
I think Howard Silk knows who it is.
Find him.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- [CLARE GASPS.]
Thought I told you to keep her quiet.
How am I expected to do anything? I can't even pick her up.
Peter, please.
This is really bad.
You know that, right? [CLARE PANTS.]
He can't be allowed out there like this.
If they catch him, and with his last dying breath, he says my name, we're done.
What the? [HANDCUFFS CLICK.]
- Peter, for fuck's sake! - Listen to me.
All right, he told me that three people have just come over.
And you know about this? From where? From your fucking side, Clare.
Of course you know about it.
You arranged their passage, didn't you? You know, you know exactly what they're gonna do.
If you're complicit in this, your life will be in danger.
Clare, what the fuck do you think is happening right now? I know someone who can take care of Howard Silk for us.
Baldwin, my assassin.
No, no.
- [BABY CRYING.]
- Peter, please.
Stop! Fuck! [DOOR CLOSES.]
ANDREI: Howard, what are you doing? PRIME: You're gonna do me a favor.
You might not see me again.
Gonna keep this up here; you're not gonna look at it.
You're gonna give it back to Emily when she comes out of the hospital.
Does this make me some kind of accessory? It makes you a man who's doing the right thing instead of fucking another man's wife.
Why trust me? [CHAIR SCRAPES ON FLOOR.]
Only because she did.
Howard? She never would've left you.
I asked her once, she said no.
I wanted you to know that.
I don't know why I let this friendship go on like it did.
The Go game, the bullshit charade.
Maybe it was disingenuous.
I just saw you in that waiting room, and you looked like the loneliest man I'd ever seen.
And I felt bad for you.
Whatever this is, you're not alone, you know that.
[PANTING.]
[LINE RINGING.]
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Where the fuck have you been? Tell me you've eliminated the targets.
All but the woman in the hospital.
She's still guarded.
Go back to her later.
There's something else I need you to do.
I'll find you the money.
I'll pay you double.
But Howard Silk The one here is from our side.
He needs to be eliminated.
Another hundred thousand for Silk and his wife.
I'll get it for you.
I'll be in touch.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Hello.
FANCHER: Triple bypass surgery.
QUAYLE: Wh-What? Only time I've missed work in the last ten years.
Please tell me that you're forwarding your calls to your death bed, and that's why you're not at work today.
No, it's, uh it's just this f-flu.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I-I don't want to spread it around.
Upstairs wants a joint briefing on that deal that went to shit.
Can we can we reschedule? With the Fourth Floor? I can't.
I'm sorry.
Peter, I don't know what's been going on with you lately.
That little show you put on the other night? I get it.
Marriage isn't perfect, I understand that.
But do yourself a favor.
Get your life in order and get your ass in here.
Yes, sir.
Good choice.
Children, you know? Can you take this down the hall, please? - Right away.
- Thank you.
What are you doing? Going to work.
Peter, wait.
This is what I do.
Your father calls, I answer.
Not today.
I can't tell you why.
Please, just don't go in today.
No.
- [GASPS.]
- [CLATTERING.]
What am I to you? Am I a mark? Or am I actually your husband? Just just make up your fucking mind.
When I first met you, I despised you.
The other girls, the lying, bullshit wedding.
But I went through with it.
'Cause that's what I do.
I spent my whole life becoming this perfect version of someone else.
The stupid girl they wanted me to be.
I've never had anything of my own.
Until she was born.
Spencer was mine.
Not hers or theirs.
For the first time in my life, I had something that belonged to only me.
[SIGHS.]
Peter, I know our marriage has been one giant, fucked-up sham, but you're the only one who knows me.
Both sides of who I am.
Days like these I always forget to eat.
No, thank you.
My Emily always has gummy bears in her purse.
Otherwise, she can get a bit Lightheaded.
Well, I was gonna say temperamental.
So strange.
I look at you, and I see a woman that I've loved for 30 years.
I think about everything that we've shared.
Thanksgivings jokes, fights.
All of it.
Then I realize you're not a part of that.
I don't know you.
What are we doing? I don't know.
I can't be here anymore.
Where are you going? I'm sorry.
I I miss my wife.
I need to go home.
[MACHINES WHIRRING.]
[COMPUTER TRILLS, BEEPS.]
Peter, what is this? We're going for a drive.
They have eyes on us.
QUAYLE: I don't give a fuck.

[ENGINE STARTS.]
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Are you turning me in? [ENGINE REVVING.]
- [TIRES SCREECHING.]
- [HORNS BLARING.]
You're gonna get us killed before we even get there.
I don't even know what to say anymore, Clare.
- Stop this! - I've been such a fucking fool.
[CRYING.]
I'm so sorry, Peter.
Maybe a part of me does love you.
The part of you that I know.
Yeah, but that's the problem, isn't it? We only see the parts of people that we want to see.
[LAUGHING.]
I'm such a fucking coward.
- [ENGINE REVVING.]
- [TIRES SCREECHING.]
Peter.
QUAYLE: Okay.
All right, Peter, time for some bravery.
First time in your fucking life.

She's the mole, and she's not alone.
You got to check every employee in this building.
You have multiple points of compromise.

Is she all right? [SIGHS.]

Kaspar, listen to me, these people are not your friends.
[PANTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
You have no idea! Come with us.
I can keep you safe.
They won't.
[PANTING.]
You don't understand.
That was my only chance.
You just took my only chance! I know what these people can do.
You you've seen it, too.
Whatever they've offered you, you're more important to them dead.
Do you hear me? Whatever it is I can help you.

PRIME: Your wife and kid home? No.
How long have they been here? All night.
[DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLICKS.]
[SIGHS.]
What the hell happened, Peter? Aldrich came over last night, started asking questions about you.
It's pretty safe to say that you're blown.
Me I-I don't know what he knows about me yet.
[SIGHS.]
Fuck.
This could not happen at a worse fucking time.
Did you hear anything from the Interface room? Yeah, three known operatives have crossed in the last couple of days.
At least one of their others works in your office.
They're placing people inside? I think it's time we talked to your wife.
Why? Peter, we're out of options here.
Something big is about to go down, and she knows about it.
No, no, no.
You were right, Howard.
I-I need to keep playing the game.
There's no game, Peter.
It's game over.
- I mean, if I'm blown, we're - [BABY CRYING.]
What the fuck? - [SIGHS.]
- Gun.
Okay, okay.
- Take it easy.
- [QUAYLE MUTTERS.]
[SETS GUN DOWN.]
- You told Aldrich.
- He came to me.
- I had to give him something.
- Right.
Then you get me out of the apartment so they don't capture me, and now what? You're gonna kill me in self-defense? And you think that's gonna keep your secret safe? Peter, I-I got to tell you, this is - this is a bad fucking plan.
- Shut up! Listen, all right? Take it easy.
This doesn't buy you much time.
Even Aldrich is gonna figure out that I'm not the one responsible for five years of leaks from your department.
Okay? It's gonna come back to you.
Yeah, well, I've got time to figure that out.
- We got time right now - You don't have any fucking time! [BABY CRYING.]
[QUAYLE CHOKING.]

SHAW: How long have you been working for Pope? How long? Three years now.
He wanted to know vulnerabilities of certain people within the Office.
Could they be coerced and how.
And you shared recordings? Sometimes.
- Damn it.
- Help us, Kaspar.
We need to understand what these people are preparing to do.
Why would they share anything with me? The School.
All those kids they were teaching.
That is years of legwork.
You must have heard something.
What is this? Is this your fucking blood money? Uh, look, just be careful.
Fuck you! Those children died because you made - a fucking phone call! - No, no, no! No, no! [KASPAR PANTING.]
SHAW: What the hell? You're a sad kind of bastard.
HOWARD: Is this your child? Yes.
My son.
How old? Ten.
He would have been ten.
Alexander Pope bribed you with safe passage; is that what went on? Some kind of switch out? He promised you you could visit the other side and see your living son? I can't protect you, Kaspar, if you don't tell me who they are.
Protect me? Don't you understand what they do to anyone who gets in their way? The other you She tried, you know? Reached out to one of ours, months ago.
A warning that people were coming over.
I took it to Pope.
You know what he did? Had her run down, car accident.
That's how far his reach goes! That accident that was Pope?! That's why she's in the hospital? Pope and you?! You trade human lives for some false hope of a second chance?! What? That is not your world over there! That little boy over there is not yours! - Do you understand?! - EMILY PRIME: Howard, stop! I'll tell you who's been working for him.
Everyone I know.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
What happened? What do you think happened? He broke into my fucking house while your men were supposed to be watching.
And you said, last night, if I give you the name, you would protect me.
[ALDRICH SNAPPING FINGERS.]
Okay.
Aldrich.
Find him.
Do whatever you have to do.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[CAR DOORS CLOSE.]
[LINE RINGING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Yeah? ALDRICH: Anything at the house? Nothing.
He swept it clean.
What happened over there? He came to Quayle, but got away.
This is bullshit, Aldrich.
Quayle's not telling us something.
Let's bring him in.
Not yet.
Silk can't possibly be Shadow.
Neither is Quayle.
There's someone else he's protecting.
I think Howard Silk knows who it is.
Find him.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- [CLARE GASPS.]
Thought I told you to keep her quiet.
How am I expected to do anything? I can't even pick her up.
Peter, please.
This is really bad.
You know that, right? [CLARE PANTS.]
He can't be allowed out there like this.
If they catch him, and with his last dying breath, he says my name, we're done.
What the? [HANDCUFFS CLICK.]
- Peter, for fuck's sake! - Listen to me.
All right, he told me that three people have just come over.
And you know about this? From where? From your fucking side, Clare.
Of course you know about it.
You arranged their passage, didn't you? You know, you know exactly what they're gonna do.
If you're complicit in this, your life will be in danger.
Clare, what the fuck do you think is happening right now? I know someone who can take care of Howard Silk for us.
Baldwin, my assassin.
No, no.
- [BABY CRYING.]
- Peter, please.
Stop! Fuck! [DOOR CLOSES.]
ANDREI: Howard, what are you doing? PRIME: You're gonna do me a favor.
You might not see me again.
Gonna keep this up here; you're not gonna look at it.
You're gonna give it back to Emily when she comes out of the hospital.
Does this make me some kind of accessory? It makes you a man who's doing the right thing instead of fucking another man's wife.
Why trust me? [CHAIR SCRAPES ON FLOOR.]
Only because she did.
Howard? She never would've left you.
I asked her once, she said no.
I wanted you to know that.
I don't know why I let this friendship go on like it did.
The Go game, the bullshit charade.
Maybe it was disingenuous.
I just saw you in that waiting room, and you looked like the loneliest man I'd ever seen.
And I felt bad for you.
Whatever this is, you're not alone, you know that.
[PANTING.]

[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Where the fuck have you been? Tell me you've eliminated the targets.
All but the woman in the hospital.
She's still guarded.
Go back to her later.
There's something else I need you to do.
I'll find you the money.
I'll pay you double.
But Howard Silk The one here is from our side.
He needs to be eliminated.
Another hundred thousand for Silk and his wife.
I'll get it for you.
I'll be in touch.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Hello.
FANCHER: Triple bypass surgery.
QUAYLE: Wh-What? Only time I've missed work in the last ten years.
Please tell me that you're forwarding your calls to your death bed, and that's why you're not at work today.
No, it's, uh it's just this f-flu.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I-I don't want to spread it around.
Upstairs wants a joint briefing on that deal that went to shit.
Can we can we reschedule? With the Fourth Floor? I can't.
I'm sorry.
Peter, I don't know what's been going on with you lately.
That little show you put on the other night? I get it.
Marriage isn't perfect, I understand that.
But do yourself a favor.
Get your life in order and get your ass in here.
Yes, sir.
Good choice.
Children, you know? Can you take this down the hall, please? - Right away.
- Thank you.
What are you doing? Going to work.
Peter, wait.
This is what I do.
Your father calls, I answer.
Not today.
I can't tell you why.
Please, just don't go in today.
No.
- [GASPS.]
- [CLATTERING.]
What am I to you? Am I a mark? Or am I actually your husband? Just just make up your fucking mind.
When I first met you, I despised you.
The other girls, the lying, bullshit wedding.
But I went through with it.
'Cause that's what I do.
I spent my whole life becoming this perfect version of someone else.
The stupid girl they wanted me to be.
I've never had anything of my own.
Until she was born.
Spencer was mine.
Not hers or theirs.
For the first time in my life, I had something that belonged to only me.
[SIGHS.]
Peter, I know our marriage has been one giant, fucked-up sham, but you're the only one who knows me.
Both sides of who I am.
Days like these I always forget to eat.
No, thank you.
My Emily always has gummy bears in her purse.
Otherwise, she can get a bit Lightheaded.
Well, I was gonna say temperamental.
So strange.
I look at you, and I see a woman that I've loved for 30 years.
I think about everything that we've shared.
Thanksgivings jokes, fights.
All of it.
Then I realize you're not a part of that.
I don't know you.
What are we doing? I don't know.
I can't be here anymore.
Where are you going? I'm sorry.
I I miss my wife.
I need to go home.

- Stop this! - I've been such a fucking fool.
[CRYING.]
I'm so sorry, Peter.
Maybe a part of me does love you.
The part of you that I know.
Yeah, but that's the problem, isn't it? We only see the parts of people that we want to see.
[LAUGHING.]
I'm such a fucking coward.
- [ENGINE REVVING.]
