Madam Secretary (2014) s03e20 Episode Script
Extraordinary Hazard
1 Previously on Madam Secretary Jay, it's everything.
We are not a family anymore.
Abby, come on.
I just needed some time apart.
MO: Virginia Field Force.
Your standard militia group.
Anti-government, little white supremacy.
ELIZABETH: I'd like to think about hiring private security contractors like Vesuvian.
DALTON: Pirosmani stole American weapons and sold them on the black market.
Any idea where he is? ELIZABETH: They're trying to track him down, but he's gone.
(clattering) (speaking Spanish) (meows) ELIZABETH: I tell you, if I get one more e-mail about the book fair I get it.
How did you get on that list? I signed up during a 2:00 a.
m.
guilt trip.
You handle world diplomacy, Mom.
Dad's got the book fair.
You do? - Babe, books.
- Uh, just so you know, remainders of your book on St.
Augustine are not gonna be huge sellers.
Huh, too bad it's not celebrity gossip.
Oh, don't go telling your dad that St.
Augustine isn't a celebrity.
- That's right.
- (chuckles) Jason! You are gonna miss your ride.
Hey.
Could I get some money for school? - Good morning to you, too.
- (sighs) What do you need? It's this graphing calculator for Calc.
It's $127.
- What? - For a calculator? Can't you just use a pencil and paper? I could.
I could also just become a blacksmith and use primitive tools for an obsolete job in a world that no longer exists.
- Is this a requirement? - Yeah.
They're actually $170, but we get a student discount at the store.
- I know.
- (sighs) Thank you.
Well, for $127, it'd better guarantee an "A.
" - Yeah.
- (chuckles) - That's kind of a big ask - (phone buzzes) for most public school parents, right? (both sigh) This arms dealer that we've been after, Dito Pirosmani? Spanish law enforcement was supposed to apprehend him at his villa.
All they got was a house cat.
Not a good morning for the CIA.
Or me, since I convinced CIA to let Spain handle the op instead of our guys.
I'm sorry, you were saying? The calculator.
You know what? Maybe you could talk to Jason's math teacher when you're at the school? Intelligence work is never done.
Hey, I'm about to read this.
Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
I - When? HAYMOND: Our source on Pirosmani's location was solid, sir.
Then what the hell happened? WARE: It's not hard to believe he got inside information from Spanish Intelligence.
Or on our end.
He already had a mole in the State Department.
So, what's our next move? We've frozen Pirosmani's assets in all of our allied nations.
That will limit his movement.
But now that he's looking over his shoulder, it'll be that much harder to capture him alive.
I want this contained.
- Whatever it takes.
- ELIZABETH: Mr.
President, I do think that we should make every effort to take Pirosmani into custody.
Yes, the evidence that he was behind the stolen weapons is significant, but it's still circumstantial.
Alive, we would have the opportunity to interrogate him and flush out his whole network - of illegal arms dealing.
- HAYMOND: We have no reason to believe that he will cooperate - in an interrogation.
- We also have to consider the damage to our alliance with Georgia if we assassinate one of their citizens extra-judicially.
Though I doubt he's their favorite citizen.
Mr.
President, if forced to choose between killing Pirosmani and allowing him to remain free, I advise lethal force.
(sighs) Let's get him alive if we can, but we'll take him dead if he leaves us no choice.
Rough night? Caffeine withdrawal.
Think I'm having a stroke.
Why would you give up on caffeine? To be healthier, less dependent.
Is that black? Oh.
Coming over for the game tonight? Dude, no offense, but I can't do another night at your place.
I mean (chuckles) All those metal folding chairs make me feel like I'm at an AA meeting.
Then sit on the floor.
Okay, what is this? Are you trying to relive your first apartment after college? Because that is not a year I want to relive.
Mark Meese stole my girlfriend and ate all my cereal.
And the furniture was terrible.
I'm just keeping it simple.
(sighs) That's what guys say when they don't want to commit.
But, you see you need to commit to your life.
Because your life is not a girl you met at Burning Man, man.
You're better with caffeine.
I know.
- Damn it.
- Hey.
Call me when you have an ottoman.
This is it.
Everything we've got on Pirosmani.
From the Western allies.
I can go back to CIA.
I don't know.
I (sighs) It feels like we're looking for a puzzle piece that just isn't there.
He said he doesn't deal in stolen U.
S.
weapons, and now all the best Intel in the world says the same thing.
On the other hand, he is an arms dealer.
Who kept his word in Somalia.
I thought I had a good read on him.
CIA's Russian file did say they had a forensic accountant in GRU tracking him over the last eight years.
Well, I'm sure the Kremlin isn't in a hurry to expose their lax weapons control - and corruption.
- That's what I thought.
So I looked up the accountant.
He's due to attend an international conference on information systems over the next few days in Nice.
One of us could reach out.
See if he'd meet.
That would be going around CIA's investigation.
It's a fact-finding mission.
Following up on Somalia.
Call him.
He agrees to take the meeting, you go.
Just me? Take a few extra days on the Riviera.
You've been through it lately.
You could use a break.
Like the sound of that.
So, where are we with the VFF since they landed in Greece? Sir, based on Dr.
McCord's theory that they're following Biblical prophecy, we're focusing on the Middle East, but we don't want to rule out - a European attack.
- Not much of a focus.
No leads? We have every available SIGINT system tracking Slattery, Abbott and Zanner, but so far no hits with facial or voice recognition.
MO: Either they're still in transit or they slipped past border control.
DOHERTY: This isn't gonna work.
It's too much territory.
We need another approach.
Sir, we can go with Henry's theory and just put all of our chips on Jerusalem.
The Lailat Al Mi'raj celebration at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It's a likely target if you want to provoke conflict between Israel and Sunni Islam, but it's not the only one.
There's Al Kaaba at Al-Masjid Al-Haram in Mecca, there's Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina DOHERTY: But you said Al-Aqsa is the most likely target? If I'm right and they want to provoke worldwide conflict, the crossroads of Judaism, Islam and Christianity is a likely place to start.
Let's tighten our focus to Israel and its border countries.
Give 'em 48 hours.
See what we get.
And if we're wrong and they decide to hit Rome, Paris or Istanbul? Then we made the wrong choice.
Mr.
Soroka? Ah, Mr.
Whitman.
Nice to see you.
- Please.
- Thanks for meeting me.
Sure.
It's a little bit colder than I expected.
It's windy, huh? - (sighs) - Yeah.
Garçon? Un autre café, s'il vous plaît.
Oui, Monsieur.
Merci.
So, enjoying the Riviera? (chuckles) Oh, you know, these conferences.
It's barely time to enjoy it.
You must forgive me.
I-I might be, uh, called away.
- Of course.
And I can make this quick.
- Yes.
I mentioned that we're looking into Dito Pirosmani.
Really we just need to locate him.
We're hoping to intervene in a hotspot in East Timor, and we understand that Dito has some, uh, business dealings in the region.
Yeah, I suppose you don't mean his chemical company.
Not in this case, no.
And I suppose that's not why you're tracking his accounts.
Mr.
Whitman, your secretary of state is a, a bold woman, but she should be careful who she works with.
We're moving carefully.
That's why I came to you.
- (phone buzzes) - Yes, yes.
Uh Sorry, I-I need to take this.
- Of course.
- Yes.
Hello.
Da.
- Hey.
- No noise.
Wh-Whoa.
Come on.
Help! Help! Help! (sighs) I still think I should do the whole thing in Dutch.
Well, the Koningsdag address is customarily given in English, but, then again, we've never done it online before.
- So - Let's have Matt translate his remarks.
Uh, ma'am.
Jay is on line two.
Oh.
I Oh, and here.
Will you have Matt translate this, please? - Yeah.
- Thanks.
We're live in six minutes.
Yeah.
Please tell me you are nursing a sunburn.
Not at the moment, ma'am, no.
There's a bit of a problem.
What? How? MAN: You should never have betrayed me.
Who is this? I was your friend.
Now I am your enemy.
Dito, what's this about? You have till end of business tomorrow to release my assets.
End of business where? And where are you? You froze my accounts.
You know where they are.
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
(click) Pirosmani has to know that the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
He doesn't consider himself a terrorist.
He considers himself a businessman.
At the very least, he'll insist we return his assets.
Will we? No.
I'll have more information for you after I meet with the president.
We have to tell his family.
Yeah, of course.
I'll call Abby.
I know it goes without saying, but we need to keep a tight circle on this.
For Jay's sake.
HAYMOND: I'm sorry.
When exactly did the State Department decide to intervene in an ongoing CIA investigation? This wasn't some kind of covert operation.
It was one bureaucrat seeking information from another.
And in so doing, you put your policy advisor in a life-and-death situation that he isn't trained to handle! DALTON: Enough! Pirosmani has kidnapped an American diplomat.
This is a CIA matter now.
Exactly who knew Jay's itinerary? Only the accountant, Timur Soroka.
We'll find him.
DALTON: Just so this is perfectly clear, the United States will not compromise its policy against negotiating with terrorists.
Of course.
Yes, I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Ms.
Alvarez? Hey.
Jason's dad.
- Hi.
Henry McCord.
- Of course.
You're working the book fair with crutches.
That's amazing.
Yeah, well, I kind of feel like I'm working in the last days of the whaling industry, but I'm doing what I can.
Listen, Jason came to me about this graphing calculator he needs, and, I mean, it's not a hardship for us, but I got to believe that if we have to have a book fair to send the debate team to New York, then there's got to be a lot of families that can't afford to throw money at a piece of gear that they're not gonna use in a year.
I get it.
I wanted to subsidize them altogether, but we did get as deep a discount as we could.
Can we go to the company? We got to do better - than 127 bucks.
- Oh, no.
It's just $27.
You must have misread the notice we sent home.
Well, there you go.
Problem solved.
(both laugh) Numbers.
They will get you every time.
- Sorry to bother you.
- No bother.
Mr.
Brennan, thanks for agreeing to see me on such short notice.
Oh, I think it's Daryl by now.
How's your colleague in Somalia? Anis, was it? Uh, yeah.
He's still recovering, but I'm-I'm sure he'll be back in action soon enough.
You'll have to excuse me.
I-I need to cut to the chase.
Yeah, go.
What's your impression of Dito Pirosmani? I only know him by reputation, never worked with him.
I'm asking you to be frank.
Can I trust Dito Pirosmani in a one-on-one negotiation? Early I'm talking before Fallujah we were sent to train a core group of local militia on a training site 60 klicks outside of Basra.
We were short on carriers, so I made a deal with the only supplier available.
Pirosmani.
I paid him a good price, but my guy tells me he can't get it through.
At the same time, we get Intel we'd been made.
400 or 500 Iraqi insurgents only half a day out.
I get Dito on the sat, explain the transfer problem, tell him I will personally guarantee the funds, but we need the trucks to evac immediately.
His answer? "Not my problem.
" We lost half the contingent of the best officers Iraq had to offer in a three-hour firefight.
Pirosmani all but murdered them himself.
Merci.
Je t'envoie un numéro à utiliser pour une transmission sécurisée.
What are you guys still doing here? Uh, no one wanted to leave.
There's, um, Kung Pao chicken if you want.
No, thanks What's the news from Intelligence? They got into the hotel security cameras, but nothing.
Okay, well, why don't you all head home, and we'll let you know if there's any news? - No.
- (overlapping chatter) Well, then, Blake, how about some coffee? MATT: Oh, God, yes, please.
- Yes, and also Henry left word for you.
- Great.
My number one rule is never work with the American government.
They always screw you.
(sighs) I'm trying not to feel like it's a wake.
Let's call it a vigil.
You got a lot of good people working really hard to get him home.
How's your work going? Don't ask if you want a distraction.
(laughs) That bad, huh? I hope not.
If it all goes to hell, it's on me.
(laughing): We are really not helping each other right now, are we? Okay, you want a distraction? You know that $127 solid-gold calculator Jason needs? Yeah.
The one with the diamond buttons? I ran into his math teacher.
It's a $27 calculator.
Jason padded the number.
Why would he do that? I'm trying not to think the worst.
You haven't asked him yet? No, I'm waiting for the right time.
Th-There's something going on with him.
He's just been so down lately.
Well, find out what's going on, and then nail him.
(laughing): Due process.
Yeah.
What if I really messed up? Babe, you sent Jay on a diplomatic mission.
There's no way you could have known this would happen.
I undermined the CIA.
I thought I had a hunch about this guy, and I put Jay in harm's way.
Don't do this to yourself.
But I did do this.
And I did it to Abby and his daughter.
Babe I have to get him home.
- You're up early.
- Yeah, there's a debate meeting.
- I'm-I'm taking the bus.
- You're gonna miss it.
I ran into your calculus teacher.
Do I need to go on? You know what? Just just ground me, and I'll-I'll give you the money back.
It's fine.
Ah, you're not getting off that easy.
You have one chance to explain to me what is worth more to you than our trust.
(sighs) (sighs) Okay, look, if you're in trouble - drugs, whatever - No.
No, it's noth It's-it's nothing like that.
(sighs) There's this guy, Siham, at Westmore.
He's some kind of Kuwaiti prince.
And he's-he's always driving around in his Bugatti, and taking everyone to these private clubs in New York, and it's just this disgusting display of materialism.
- Mm-hmm.
- And, you know, Piper and I we're always making fun of this guy, right? And then, last week, I go on his Instagram, so we'll have new stuff to laugh about, and there he is on a helicopter ride.
With Piper.
Oh, buddy.
It was like she got kidnapped by the pod people.
I'm still waiting to hear about the money.
There's a hot air balloon you can rent.
- Oh, buddy! - I know! I know.
It's $340 for two hours, and I just thought if I could get her in the air somehow Okay, I got to say something.
Two things, actually.
One we're never gonna be able to compete with Kuwaiti royalty.
I know.
And two, which is way more important.
Piper's gonna like who she likes, and it might not make sense, and it might seem like she's betraying who she really is, but you're not gonna change her mind by trying to compete.
Ma'am? What's wrong? You got any news? French Intelligence has Timur Soroka in custody.
Okay, that's good.
Um, is he talking yet? He's asking for a lawyer.
Oh, and, uh, Jay's wife is here.
Okay, um, let me Let me see what I can get out of Soroka first before I talk to Abby.
Can you? Of course.
SOROKA: I met with Jay Whitman.
We had coffee.
I stepped away to make a phone call.
He was gone.
That's it.
That's all I know.
Can I go home now? Tell Mr.
Soroka his private account in Cape Verde, where we know Dito Pirosmani does business that was our first clue.
Would he like to hear a list of the payments he's received over the last 18 months? (man speaking French) PIROSMANI: Your boss say to me, "Help save starving Africans.
" I'm undone by my own heart! Mr.
Pirosmani, my boss did not screw you.
Oh, no? I help her, she takes my money and hunts me like an animal.
'Cause you put stolen M16 rifles in the hands of terrorists.
You know we can't just overlook that.
What are you saying? I never touch American guns.
- What? - The M16s.
They jam in combat.
They don't like heat, they don't like sand, they You know what everyone wants? The guerillas, the insurgents, even your own army.
They want Kalashnikov.
It's like a Niva.
It's ugly, but you get there.
Why do I want American guns that nobody else wants? I never screw you.
Why you screw me? This little two-bit bureaucrat thinks he can play games.
Tell him we're contacting President Salnikov.
(agent speaking Russian) ELIZABETH: I'm sure he'd be interested to know that one of his top forensic accountants is in the pocket of a Georgian arms dealer trafficking in stolen U.
S.
military weapons.
(speaking Russian) Enjoy Gldani prison.
(speaking Russian) (sighs) Fine.
Let's see it.
ABBY: I don't understand.
The secretary called me yesterday.
How can you not know where he is? He is the number one priority right now for several intelligence agencies.
They'll find him.
What if something goes wrong? - What if they don't find him? What ? - Abby.
I have seen many hostage situations resolved.
We have extremely skilled negotiators.
But I know you won't pay ransom.
So what is there to negotiate? It's always about more than money.
(sighs) I know this is a lot to handle.
Do you have someone at home? You sure you don't need a ride? No.
My mom's coming, but thanks.
Yeah.
Hey.
I know what you probably think of me, but I really do love him, you know? Of course you do.
But what if Jay doesn't know that? - (door opens) - DALTON: Where are we? We have five heat signatures.
Three on the first floor, two in the basement.
And we've confirmed Jay Whitman and Dito Pirosmani are among them? Yeah, we received corroborating Intel from DGSI five minutes ago.
Now, we have to assume that Whitman's in the basement.
Is there any direct access? Negative.
They'll have to go through the bogeys on the first floor, then down the stairs.
That leaves whoever's guarding Whitman plenty of time to take him out.
That's a risk we may have to take.
ELIZABETH: Dito Pirosmani didn't steal our weapons.
He can't be responsible for Garcia or Milken.
What's this? Analysis of Soroka's dossier on Pirosmani.
The accountant who was cooking the books? ELIZABETH: One set was cooked.
Pirosmani paid Soroka to doctor them to keep him out of trouble with the Russians.
This is the second set.
So he'd have leverage in case Pirosmani turned on him.
Mr.
President, we have no time to corroborate this.
No.
I've been through it.
There is not one single deal on American soil or involving American arms.
He's not our guy, sir.
He's holding an American diplomat hostage, so now he is our guy.
He already thought we were after him, then freezing his assets just confirmed his paranoia.
He played fair with us, we screwed him.
At least that's how he sees it.
We have 47 minutes before Pirosmani's deadline to save your staffer.
Mr.
President, there's no time.
We all know that we go in there guns blazing, we put Jay and those SEALs at tremendous risk.
What are you asking for? Enough time to make sure that this is our only option.
If I'm right, Pirosmani's on the defensive.
He doesn't want to kill an American FSO, he just wants his empire back.
We give him another chance to reach out to us one more time, and save us having to go in.
That's a pretty big gamble with your own guy.
Which should tell you how confident I am in this evidence.
40 minutes on the clock.
Then we go in.
PARKER: Stand by, Neptune, await my order.
Now, what do you see here? I-I don't know.
A-A-A bank account? Yeah.
That's my primary account in Zurich.
And it's still empty.
I told you they won't pay for me.
But I am not a terrorist.
It's my own money! But you are a kidnapper now.
And the president of the United States is not gonna reverse his position of non-negotiation just to preserve my life.
I'm not that important.
Then they leave me no choice.
You might get out of this, but you'll never be free again.
For the rest of your life you'll be looking over your shoulder.
And eventually, they will find you.
If you really want out of this, you've got one chance.
If those M16s weren't yours, then someone set you up.
And if that's true, you have to talk to the secretary.
She already betrayed me.
Listen to me.
If you're telling the truth, then kidnapping me, that was your only offense against the United States.
And I-I-I might, I might be worth enough to get you off the hook for that.
Yeah.
You have a gun to your head, so you will say anything to survive.
Mr.
President.
Dito Pirosmani is calling for Secretary McCord.
Mr.
President.
Yes.
You have my permission to offer him his freedom.
Put him through, Lieutenant.
This is Secretary McCord.
Mr.
Pirosmani, before we continue, I need proof that Jay Whitman is alive.
She wants to hear you.
I'm here, ma'am.
(inhales) ELIZABETH: Dito, let me be clear.
This is not a negotiation.
Then I waste my time.
You have an American hostage.
There are consequences to that.
We cannot unfreeze your assets.
But you took my money for something that I didn't do.
Based on your known criminal history and a great deal of evidence, yes; however, we have new evidence that seems to show that you did not steal U.
S.
military weapons.
As I said.
So let me go.
If you surrender your hostage immediately, I can see that you leave with your freedom, but that's all.
So you call to say me that you made a mistake, and you still take my money, huh? It's after what I have done for you? Release Jay Whitman and you leave with your life.
PIROSMANI: So you're ready to risk killing your own man to get me, knowing that you are wrong? Unfortunately, that is a risk we are willing to take, yes.
We all have to live with risks we take.
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
PARKER: Two minutes out.
Neptune, move to position one.
We've got to go.
Wait, this doesn't make sense.
I mean, why is he doing this to himself? Sir.
TEAM LEADER: On the ground now! Stay down, stay down.
Okay, we got you.
We have the package.
Package secured.
Team retreat.
Hold, please, Admiral.
Team leaders, stand by.
We should take him.
No.
That wasn't the deal.
Someone puts a gun to your head, that's not a deal.
ELIZABETH: He's worthless as an asset.
He has no cash, the entire international community is after him.
I mean, why, why would we risk those men's lives to go after a man who's no longer a threat? I have to agree with the secretary.
Stand down.
PARKER: RTB, Neptune.
Over.
Copy.
Over and out.
Now that we've got out of that little folly, I'd like to know who we should have been after.
ELIZABETH: He conned us out of a hundred bucks for a hot air balloon? Can you think of a good reason? So where'd you land? Good cop or bad cop? Grounded for lying, pancakes for broken heart.
You know, I got to say, - I'm surprised at Piper.
- Right? She doesn't seem like a "Barbie's Dreamliner" - kind of girl.
- But you know what? This is good; she's going against her instincts.
Jason's got to get in there and build on the friendship.
That's not exactly what I told him.
You didn't tell him - to fight for her? - Well, he did.
Look where that led him.
Because he went too big.
Henry.
Your son needs you, come on.
Okay, okay, okay.
Have you got leftover energy from hostage negotiation, or what? Definitely not.
(sighs) I'm really glad that you got Jay back.
Ugh.
You have no idea.
(whistles) Hey.
I'm ordering Thai.
What do you want? I'm not hungry.
Come on, you got to eat.
All right, look.
If you can't accept it, then get back in there and make your case.
- You ju you said - I know.
But maybe if Piper knew how you felt Sometimes that can turn the tide.
Oh, it's too late.
I'm already in the friend zone.
Okay, look.
Believe me, I know how scary it can be to take a big risk, but sometimes that's the only way to move things forward.
Use the connection you already have.
If you could lift the grounding, there's this zombie convention (laughing): Yeah, yeah.
Good try, good try.
Why don't you just call her? Like on the phone with no texting and talk to her.
Oh, yeah.
Who wants to ride in a helicopter when you can actually talk to somebody on the telephone? Perhaps later, we'll go get phosphates at the drugstore and then go to the World's Fair to admire the new gramophone.
Yeah, you see? You're not far off your game.
ELIZABETH: No.
You are not coming in.
Are you crazy? Except we might be sending you a list of possible suspects we're looking at now that we know it wasn't Pirosmani.
No rush.
Ah, maybe a bit of a rush.
But just take some time, okay? We're just really glad you're back.
All right.
I'm not sure how much of a help he'd be anyway.
Anton Jankovic hasn't left the Bahamas in 18 months.
Nassim retired, which the Turks have confirmed.
The Saudis have been shadowing Kashadian for nearly a year.
Every one of our leads is either incapacitated, imprisoned or dead.
Then we start all over.
Pull every bit of paperwork attached to the leaks, go through 'em one by one.
Yes, ma'am.
Maybe we do need Jay.
Hi.
(crying quietly) It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm okay.
(sighs) So how was Nice, otherwise? (laughter) - My God.
- Oh! I wanted to bring you guys some chocolates or something.
No.
We have the gift we need.
We have it.
You're okay? - I mean, really okay? - Yes, yes.
I'm sorry if I worried you.
It's not like it was your fault.
Well, maybe if I'd run a little faster, but (laughs) (sighs): Ah Chloe's still at day care, but please come in.
They need me back already.
No.
You cannot be serious.
It's a big thing.
Of course it is.
Hey, I just wanted you to know I'm okay.
I mean, about us.
I just don't want there to be any Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, thanks.
Okay.
So I'll come by tonight to see Chloe? - If that's all right? - Yes.
Yeah, of course.
She will be over the moon to see you.
(siren wailing in distance) (gunshot, thud) (rapid gunfire) ELIZABETH: I can't believe you did that.
You just couldn't let it go, could you? Are you talking about Pirosmani? You went behind my back, disregarded my recommendation and the president's orders.
Oh, we had nothing to do with that assassination.
Then why is the hotel reporting that a group of Americans showed up right before Pirosmani's room was hit? The guy had plenty of enemies.
Am I sorry that one of them did the job for us? No.
But it wasn't us.
Elizabeth, we had nothing to do with it.
ELIZABETH: I hate being wrong.
Now, I don't know if this'll be good news or not, but Defense Intelligence shared their files on movement - in and out of Somalia in the past - I'm sorry.
- I just have to do this again.
- two months.
We are so glad that you're back.
It's extremely mutual, ma'am.
I mean, I'm sorry to call you in already.
- But, okay, you were saying? Go ahead.
- Right.
So Dito Pirosmani's private plane here, and this was a week later.
Paul Crane.
Why do I know that name? Independent risk management and defense contractor, works with a lot of different firms.
And here's a list of his most recent partners.
Mr.
Brennan, ma'am.
Daryl.
Thanks so much for coming in to see me again.
- We're gonna get people talking.
- (laughs) We are.
You remember my senior policy advisor, Jay Whitman? - Good to see you.
- You, too.
Well, as I mentioned, we, uh We wanted to go over some things about the operation in Somalia.
How can I help? We've been tracking some stolen military equipment.
Sniper rifles and AT4s mostly.
JAY: Also quite a few M16s.
Though I hear they're temperamental.
These rebel groups aren't too picky, - and we know who armed them.
- ELIZABETH: Of course.
Dito Pirosmani.
That's what we thought, too.
Made perfect sense, right? Known illegal arms dealer who regularly operates in Africa.
But then, looking into it, turns out, Pirosmani never deals in U.
S.
weaponry.
He's right careful about that.
Almost principled.
ELIZABETH: Yeah.
I'd call Dito Pirosmani a lot of things, but principled is not one of them.
What's your point? The week after Pirosmani flew into Mogadishu, presumably to make his deal with the Somali rebel armies, we noticed another arrival of note Paul Crane? - I've worked with Paul.
- Yeah.
I would hate to think he's capable of something like that.
Hell of an allegation.
That's why we wanted to be sure.
So the FBI brought Mr.
Crane in, and he did confirm that he was working for your company during that particular mission.
I'm going to use a term I usually don't like.
Paul Crane is a mercenary.
He'd say whatever it takes to save his own skin.
Would you like to see how we confirmed what he told us? Well, you're welcome to share whatever you think you have with my legal counsel.
I don't appreciate being set up by one of my competitors.
Maybe you should call your legal counsel.
Daryl Brennan, FBI.
You're under arrest for the theft of United States government property and the murders of Barry Milken and Agent Joseph Garcia.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present during any questioning.
HENRY: If you're gonna drown your sorrow watching these chick flicks, could you at least turn it down or go upstairs - or something? - Just Okay, look, I know you're scared, but at a certain point, you're just gonna - have to talk to her.
- Dad.
That's what I'm doing right now, and you're kind of totally blowing it for me.
Piper's on my laptop.
It's like a virtual hang situation.
See? O-Okay, you two have got to get over your fear of sharing physical space.
Oh, I would love to have her in my physical space, - but she's grounded, too.
- (phone buzzes) Really? - (phone buzzes) - Okay, come on.
Go.
What? Why is she grounded? For the helicopter ride.
Which she hated, by the way, but she kind of got roped in and couldn't say no.
- And then she puked.
- Oh, that's bad.
Yeah, if by bad you mean awesome, then it's really bad.
Okay, go on, just go back to your movie.
- Okay.
- I got to go back to work for a while.
- Bye, Piper.
- PIPER: Bye, Dr.
McCord.
No funny business, you two.
(tires screeching, gunfire) So the whole arms smuggling thing was that Vesuvian or just Brennan? He was the only one on the take.
Apparently he was massively in debt, thanks to our skill in solving conflict with diplomacy instead of shooting wars.
- DAISY: Hmm.
- Go, us.
JAY: He organized this whole side deal selling stolen weaponry to cover his debts.
And, when the CIA started closing in on him, that's when he ordered the hit on Joseph Garcia.
MATT: In the State Department.
- That's insane.
- (computer chimes) BLAKE: Sorry, what was the story with Barry Milken, then? So, he was helping Brennan cover up the theft from the Texas arms depot.
And as soon as Brennan thought that Milken was gonna cut a deal with the FBI, he ordered to have him shot by a sniper.
NADINE: There he is.
Oh, I can't believe we had to call you in today.
I was happy to do it.
Yeah, he'd rather be here.
I've seen his apartment, trust me.
(all laugh) Well, I'm buying drinks if you're not dead on your feet.
That did not come out right.
(chuckles) - I heard drinks.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I might catch up with you guys.
I got a I got time with Chloe, - I just I don't want to miss.
- Good.
Nadine? I just got word that Kevin Park well, Agent Garcia, will be honored in the annual ceremony at the CIA memorial wall tomorrow.
Of course.
I should have realized.
And I know they're not even gonna be able to say his name, but I'd like to be there.
You should absolutely come.
Thank you.
Come on.
Okay.
Hey.
Are we doing this? Yeah.
SIGINT got a hit from an intercepted phone conversation.
Voice recognition confirmed it's one of our VFF leaders, Lance Abbott.
The call came from a road in the Syrian Golan, about here.
But that's not their final destination.
It's Jerusalem.
HAYMOND: Security is more than the absence of threat.
The silent soldiers of the Central Intelligence Agency work throughout the world, in some of its most dangerous places, to bring us to a deeper state of security through connection, trust and alliance, the building blocks of peace.
We honor, today, those who faced extraordinary hazard and made the ultimate sacrifice for our security.
While their names cannot be known, the fearless work that they do brings us all one step closer to a world of true security.
We are not a family anymore.
Abby, come on.
I just needed some time apart.
MO: Virginia Field Force.
Your standard militia group.
Anti-government, little white supremacy.
ELIZABETH: I'd like to think about hiring private security contractors like Vesuvian.
DALTON: Pirosmani stole American weapons and sold them on the black market.
Any idea where he is? ELIZABETH: They're trying to track him down, but he's gone.
(clattering) (speaking Spanish) (meows) ELIZABETH: I tell you, if I get one more e-mail about the book fair I get it.
How did you get on that list? I signed up during a 2:00 a.
m.
guilt trip.
You handle world diplomacy, Mom.
Dad's got the book fair.
You do? - Babe, books.
- Uh, just so you know, remainders of your book on St.
Augustine are not gonna be huge sellers.
Huh, too bad it's not celebrity gossip.
Oh, don't go telling your dad that St.
Augustine isn't a celebrity.
- That's right.
- (chuckles) Jason! You are gonna miss your ride.
Hey.
Could I get some money for school? - Good morning to you, too.
- (sighs) What do you need? It's this graphing calculator for Calc.
It's $127.
- What? - For a calculator? Can't you just use a pencil and paper? I could.
I could also just become a blacksmith and use primitive tools for an obsolete job in a world that no longer exists.
- Is this a requirement? - Yeah.
They're actually $170, but we get a student discount at the store.
- I know.
- (sighs) Thank you.
Well, for $127, it'd better guarantee an "A.
" - Yeah.
- (chuckles) - That's kind of a big ask - (phone buzzes) for most public school parents, right? (both sigh) This arms dealer that we've been after, Dito Pirosmani? Spanish law enforcement was supposed to apprehend him at his villa.
All they got was a house cat.
Not a good morning for the CIA.
Or me, since I convinced CIA to let Spain handle the op instead of our guys.
I'm sorry, you were saying? The calculator.
You know what? Maybe you could talk to Jason's math teacher when you're at the school? Intelligence work is never done.
Hey, I'm about to read this.
Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
I - When? HAYMOND: Our source on Pirosmani's location was solid, sir.
Then what the hell happened? WARE: It's not hard to believe he got inside information from Spanish Intelligence.
Or on our end.
He already had a mole in the State Department.
So, what's our next move? We've frozen Pirosmani's assets in all of our allied nations.
That will limit his movement.
But now that he's looking over his shoulder, it'll be that much harder to capture him alive.
I want this contained.
- Whatever it takes.
- ELIZABETH: Mr.
President, I do think that we should make every effort to take Pirosmani into custody.
Yes, the evidence that he was behind the stolen weapons is significant, but it's still circumstantial.
Alive, we would have the opportunity to interrogate him and flush out his whole network - of illegal arms dealing.
- HAYMOND: We have no reason to believe that he will cooperate - in an interrogation.
- We also have to consider the damage to our alliance with Georgia if we assassinate one of their citizens extra-judicially.
Though I doubt he's their favorite citizen.
Mr.
President, if forced to choose between killing Pirosmani and allowing him to remain free, I advise lethal force.
(sighs) Let's get him alive if we can, but we'll take him dead if he leaves us no choice.
Rough night? Caffeine withdrawal.
Think I'm having a stroke.
Why would you give up on caffeine? To be healthier, less dependent.
Is that black? Oh.
Coming over for the game tonight? Dude, no offense, but I can't do another night at your place.
I mean (chuckles) All those metal folding chairs make me feel like I'm at an AA meeting.
Then sit on the floor.
Okay, what is this? Are you trying to relive your first apartment after college? Because that is not a year I want to relive.
Mark Meese stole my girlfriend and ate all my cereal.
And the furniture was terrible.
I'm just keeping it simple.
(sighs) That's what guys say when they don't want to commit.
But, you see you need to commit to your life.
Because your life is not a girl you met at Burning Man, man.
You're better with caffeine.
I know.
- Damn it.
- Hey.
Call me when you have an ottoman.
This is it.
Everything we've got on Pirosmani.
From the Western allies.
I can go back to CIA.
I don't know.
I (sighs) It feels like we're looking for a puzzle piece that just isn't there.
He said he doesn't deal in stolen U.
S.
weapons, and now all the best Intel in the world says the same thing.
On the other hand, he is an arms dealer.
Who kept his word in Somalia.
I thought I had a good read on him.
CIA's Russian file did say they had a forensic accountant in GRU tracking him over the last eight years.
Well, I'm sure the Kremlin isn't in a hurry to expose their lax weapons control - and corruption.
- That's what I thought.
So I looked up the accountant.
He's due to attend an international conference on information systems over the next few days in Nice.
One of us could reach out.
See if he'd meet.
That would be going around CIA's investigation.
It's a fact-finding mission.
Following up on Somalia.
Call him.
He agrees to take the meeting, you go.
Just me? Take a few extra days on the Riviera.
You've been through it lately.
You could use a break.
Like the sound of that.
So, where are we with the VFF since they landed in Greece? Sir, based on Dr.
McCord's theory that they're following Biblical prophecy, we're focusing on the Middle East, but we don't want to rule out - a European attack.
- Not much of a focus.
No leads? We have every available SIGINT system tracking Slattery, Abbott and Zanner, but so far no hits with facial or voice recognition.
MO: Either they're still in transit or they slipped past border control.
DOHERTY: This isn't gonna work.
It's too much territory.
We need another approach.
Sir, we can go with Henry's theory and just put all of our chips on Jerusalem.
The Lailat Al Mi'raj celebration at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It's a likely target if you want to provoke conflict between Israel and Sunni Islam, but it's not the only one.
There's Al Kaaba at Al-Masjid Al-Haram in Mecca, there's Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina DOHERTY: But you said Al-Aqsa is the most likely target? If I'm right and they want to provoke worldwide conflict, the crossroads of Judaism, Islam and Christianity is a likely place to start.
Let's tighten our focus to Israel and its border countries.
Give 'em 48 hours.
See what we get.
And if we're wrong and they decide to hit Rome, Paris or Istanbul? Then we made the wrong choice.
Mr.
Soroka? Ah, Mr.
Whitman.
Nice to see you.
- Please.
- Thanks for meeting me.
Sure.
It's a little bit colder than I expected.
It's windy, huh? - (sighs) - Yeah.
Garçon? Un autre café, s'il vous plaît.
Oui, Monsieur.
Merci.
So, enjoying the Riviera? (chuckles) Oh, you know, these conferences.
It's barely time to enjoy it.
You must forgive me.
I-I might be, uh, called away.
- Of course.
And I can make this quick.
- Yes.
I mentioned that we're looking into Dito Pirosmani.
Really we just need to locate him.
We're hoping to intervene in a hotspot in East Timor, and we understand that Dito has some, uh, business dealings in the region.
Yeah, I suppose you don't mean his chemical company.
Not in this case, no.
And I suppose that's not why you're tracking his accounts.
Mr.
Whitman, your secretary of state is a, a bold woman, but she should be careful who she works with.
We're moving carefully.
That's why I came to you.
- (phone buzzes) - Yes, yes.
Uh Sorry, I-I need to take this.
- Of course.
- Yes.
Hello.
Da.
- Hey.
- No noise.
Wh-Whoa.
Come on.
Help! Help! Help! (sighs) I still think I should do the whole thing in Dutch.
Well, the Koningsdag address is customarily given in English, but, then again, we've never done it online before.
- So - Let's have Matt translate his remarks.
Uh, ma'am.
Jay is on line two.
Oh.
I Oh, and here.
Will you have Matt translate this, please? - Yeah.
- Thanks.
We're live in six minutes.
Yeah.
Please tell me you are nursing a sunburn.
Not at the moment, ma'am, no.
There's a bit of a problem.
What? How? MAN: You should never have betrayed me.
Who is this? I was your friend.
Now I am your enemy.
Dito, what's this about? You have till end of business tomorrow to release my assets.
End of business where? And where are you? You froze my accounts.
You know where they are.
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
(click) Pirosmani has to know that the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
He doesn't consider himself a terrorist.
He considers himself a businessman.
At the very least, he'll insist we return his assets.
Will we? No.
I'll have more information for you after I meet with the president.
We have to tell his family.
Yeah, of course.
I'll call Abby.
I know it goes without saying, but we need to keep a tight circle on this.
For Jay's sake.
HAYMOND: I'm sorry.
When exactly did the State Department decide to intervene in an ongoing CIA investigation? This wasn't some kind of covert operation.
It was one bureaucrat seeking information from another.
And in so doing, you put your policy advisor in a life-and-death situation that he isn't trained to handle! DALTON: Enough! Pirosmani has kidnapped an American diplomat.
This is a CIA matter now.
Exactly who knew Jay's itinerary? Only the accountant, Timur Soroka.
We'll find him.
DALTON: Just so this is perfectly clear, the United States will not compromise its policy against negotiating with terrorists.
Of course.
Yes, I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Ms.
Alvarez? Hey.
Jason's dad.
- Hi.
Henry McCord.
- Of course.
You're working the book fair with crutches.
That's amazing.
Yeah, well, I kind of feel like I'm working in the last days of the whaling industry, but I'm doing what I can.
Listen, Jason came to me about this graphing calculator he needs, and, I mean, it's not a hardship for us, but I got to believe that if we have to have a book fair to send the debate team to New York, then there's got to be a lot of families that can't afford to throw money at a piece of gear that they're not gonna use in a year.
I get it.
I wanted to subsidize them altogether, but we did get as deep a discount as we could.
Can we go to the company? We got to do better - than 127 bucks.
- Oh, no.
It's just $27.
You must have misread the notice we sent home.
Well, there you go.
Problem solved.
(both laugh) Numbers.
They will get you every time.
- Sorry to bother you.
- No bother.
Mr.
Brennan, thanks for agreeing to see me on such short notice.
Oh, I think it's Daryl by now.
How's your colleague in Somalia? Anis, was it? Uh, yeah.
He's still recovering, but I'm-I'm sure he'll be back in action soon enough.
You'll have to excuse me.
I-I need to cut to the chase.
Yeah, go.
What's your impression of Dito Pirosmani? I only know him by reputation, never worked with him.
I'm asking you to be frank.
Can I trust Dito Pirosmani in a one-on-one negotiation? Early I'm talking before Fallujah we were sent to train a core group of local militia on a training site 60 klicks outside of Basra.
We were short on carriers, so I made a deal with the only supplier available.
Pirosmani.
I paid him a good price, but my guy tells me he can't get it through.
At the same time, we get Intel we'd been made.
400 or 500 Iraqi insurgents only half a day out.
I get Dito on the sat, explain the transfer problem, tell him I will personally guarantee the funds, but we need the trucks to evac immediately.
His answer? "Not my problem.
" We lost half the contingent of the best officers Iraq had to offer in a three-hour firefight.
Pirosmani all but murdered them himself.
Merci.
Je t'envoie un numéro à utiliser pour une transmission sécurisée.
What are you guys still doing here? Uh, no one wanted to leave.
There's, um, Kung Pao chicken if you want.
No, thanks What's the news from Intelligence? They got into the hotel security cameras, but nothing.
Okay, well, why don't you all head home, and we'll let you know if there's any news? - No.
- (overlapping chatter) Well, then, Blake, how about some coffee? MATT: Oh, God, yes, please.
- Yes, and also Henry left word for you.
- Great.
My number one rule is never work with the American government.
They always screw you.
(sighs) I'm trying not to feel like it's a wake.
Let's call it a vigil.
You got a lot of good people working really hard to get him home.
How's your work going? Don't ask if you want a distraction.
(laughs) That bad, huh? I hope not.
If it all goes to hell, it's on me.
(laughing): We are really not helping each other right now, are we? Okay, you want a distraction? You know that $127 solid-gold calculator Jason needs? Yeah.
The one with the diamond buttons? I ran into his math teacher.
It's a $27 calculator.
Jason padded the number.
Why would he do that? I'm trying not to think the worst.
You haven't asked him yet? No, I'm waiting for the right time.
Th-There's something going on with him.
He's just been so down lately.
Well, find out what's going on, and then nail him.
(laughing): Due process.
Yeah.
What if I really messed up? Babe, you sent Jay on a diplomatic mission.
There's no way you could have known this would happen.
I undermined the CIA.
I thought I had a hunch about this guy, and I put Jay in harm's way.
Don't do this to yourself.
But I did do this.
And I did it to Abby and his daughter.
Babe I have to get him home.
- You're up early.
- Yeah, there's a debate meeting.
- I'm-I'm taking the bus.
- You're gonna miss it.
I ran into your calculus teacher.
Do I need to go on? You know what? Just just ground me, and I'll-I'll give you the money back.
It's fine.
Ah, you're not getting off that easy.
You have one chance to explain to me what is worth more to you than our trust.
(sighs) (sighs) Okay, look, if you're in trouble - drugs, whatever - No.
No, it's noth It's-it's nothing like that.
(sighs) There's this guy, Siham, at Westmore.
He's some kind of Kuwaiti prince.
And he's-he's always driving around in his Bugatti, and taking everyone to these private clubs in New York, and it's just this disgusting display of materialism.
- Mm-hmm.
- And, you know, Piper and I we're always making fun of this guy, right? And then, last week, I go on his Instagram, so we'll have new stuff to laugh about, and there he is on a helicopter ride.
With Piper.
Oh, buddy.
It was like she got kidnapped by the pod people.
I'm still waiting to hear about the money.
There's a hot air balloon you can rent.
- Oh, buddy! - I know! I know.
It's $340 for two hours, and I just thought if I could get her in the air somehow Okay, I got to say something.
Two things, actually.
One we're never gonna be able to compete with Kuwaiti royalty.
I know.
And two, which is way more important.
Piper's gonna like who she likes, and it might not make sense, and it might seem like she's betraying who she really is, but you're not gonna change her mind by trying to compete.
Ma'am? What's wrong? You got any news? French Intelligence has Timur Soroka in custody.
Okay, that's good.
Um, is he talking yet? He's asking for a lawyer.
Oh, and, uh, Jay's wife is here.
Okay, um, let me Let me see what I can get out of Soroka first before I talk to Abby.
Can you? Of course.
SOROKA: I met with Jay Whitman.
We had coffee.
I stepped away to make a phone call.
He was gone.
That's it.
That's all I know.
Can I go home now? Tell Mr.
Soroka his private account in Cape Verde, where we know Dito Pirosmani does business that was our first clue.
Would he like to hear a list of the payments he's received over the last 18 months? (man speaking French) PIROSMANI: Your boss say to me, "Help save starving Africans.
" I'm undone by my own heart! Mr.
Pirosmani, my boss did not screw you.
Oh, no? I help her, she takes my money and hunts me like an animal.
'Cause you put stolen M16 rifles in the hands of terrorists.
You know we can't just overlook that.
What are you saying? I never touch American guns.
- What? - The M16s.
They jam in combat.
They don't like heat, they don't like sand, they You know what everyone wants? The guerillas, the insurgents, even your own army.
They want Kalashnikov.
It's like a Niva.
It's ugly, but you get there.
Why do I want American guns that nobody else wants? I never screw you.
Why you screw me? This little two-bit bureaucrat thinks he can play games.
Tell him we're contacting President Salnikov.
(agent speaking Russian) ELIZABETH: I'm sure he'd be interested to know that one of his top forensic accountants is in the pocket of a Georgian arms dealer trafficking in stolen U.
S.
military weapons.
(speaking Russian) Enjoy Gldani prison.
(speaking Russian) (sighs) Fine.
Let's see it.
ABBY: I don't understand.
The secretary called me yesterday.
How can you not know where he is? He is the number one priority right now for several intelligence agencies.
They'll find him.
What if something goes wrong? - What if they don't find him? What ? - Abby.
I have seen many hostage situations resolved.
We have extremely skilled negotiators.
But I know you won't pay ransom.
So what is there to negotiate? It's always about more than money.
(sighs) I know this is a lot to handle.
Do you have someone at home? You sure you don't need a ride? No.
My mom's coming, but thanks.
Yeah.
Hey.
I know what you probably think of me, but I really do love him, you know? Of course you do.
But what if Jay doesn't know that? - (door opens) - DALTON: Where are we? We have five heat signatures.
Three on the first floor, two in the basement.
And we've confirmed Jay Whitman and Dito Pirosmani are among them? Yeah, we received corroborating Intel from DGSI five minutes ago.
Now, we have to assume that Whitman's in the basement.
Is there any direct access? Negative.
They'll have to go through the bogeys on the first floor, then down the stairs.
That leaves whoever's guarding Whitman plenty of time to take him out.
That's a risk we may have to take.
ELIZABETH: Dito Pirosmani didn't steal our weapons.
He can't be responsible for Garcia or Milken.
What's this? Analysis of Soroka's dossier on Pirosmani.
The accountant who was cooking the books? ELIZABETH: One set was cooked.
Pirosmani paid Soroka to doctor them to keep him out of trouble with the Russians.
This is the second set.
So he'd have leverage in case Pirosmani turned on him.
Mr.
President, we have no time to corroborate this.
No.
I've been through it.
There is not one single deal on American soil or involving American arms.
He's not our guy, sir.
He's holding an American diplomat hostage, so now he is our guy.
He already thought we were after him, then freezing his assets just confirmed his paranoia.
He played fair with us, we screwed him.
At least that's how he sees it.
We have 47 minutes before Pirosmani's deadline to save your staffer.
Mr.
President, there's no time.
We all know that we go in there guns blazing, we put Jay and those SEALs at tremendous risk.
What are you asking for? Enough time to make sure that this is our only option.
If I'm right, Pirosmani's on the defensive.
He doesn't want to kill an American FSO, he just wants his empire back.
We give him another chance to reach out to us one more time, and save us having to go in.
That's a pretty big gamble with your own guy.
Which should tell you how confident I am in this evidence.
40 minutes on the clock.
Then we go in.
PARKER: Stand by, Neptune, await my order.
Now, what do you see here? I-I don't know.
A-A-A bank account? Yeah.
That's my primary account in Zurich.
And it's still empty.
I told you they won't pay for me.
But I am not a terrorist.
It's my own money! But you are a kidnapper now.
And the president of the United States is not gonna reverse his position of non-negotiation just to preserve my life.
I'm not that important.
Then they leave me no choice.
You might get out of this, but you'll never be free again.
For the rest of your life you'll be looking over your shoulder.
And eventually, they will find you.
If you really want out of this, you've got one chance.
If those M16s weren't yours, then someone set you up.
And if that's true, you have to talk to the secretary.
She already betrayed me.
Listen to me.
If you're telling the truth, then kidnapping me, that was your only offense against the United States.
And I-I-I might, I might be worth enough to get you off the hook for that.
Yeah.
You have a gun to your head, so you will say anything to survive.
Mr.
President.
Dito Pirosmani is calling for Secretary McCord.
Mr.
President.
Yes.
You have my permission to offer him his freedom.
Put him through, Lieutenant.
This is Secretary McCord.
Mr.
Pirosmani, before we continue, I need proof that Jay Whitman is alive.
She wants to hear you.
I'm here, ma'am.
(inhales) ELIZABETH: Dito, let me be clear.
This is not a negotiation.
Then I waste my time.
You have an American hostage.
There are consequences to that.
We cannot unfreeze your assets.
But you took my money for something that I didn't do.
Based on your known criminal history and a great deal of evidence, yes; however, we have new evidence that seems to show that you did not steal U.
S.
military weapons.
As I said.
So let me go.
If you surrender your hostage immediately, I can see that you leave with your freedom, but that's all.
So you call to say me that you made a mistake, and you still take my money, huh? It's after what I have done for you? Release Jay Whitman and you leave with your life.
PIROSMANI: So you're ready to risk killing your own man to get me, knowing that you are wrong? Unfortunately, that is a risk we are willing to take, yes.
We all have to live with risks we take.
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
PARKER: Two minutes out.
Neptune, move to position one.
We've got to go.
Wait, this doesn't make sense.
I mean, why is he doing this to himself? Sir.
TEAM LEADER: On the ground now! Stay down, stay down.
Okay, we got you.
We have the package.
Package secured.
Team retreat.
Hold, please, Admiral.
Team leaders, stand by.
We should take him.
No.
That wasn't the deal.
Someone puts a gun to your head, that's not a deal.
ELIZABETH: He's worthless as an asset.
He has no cash, the entire international community is after him.
I mean, why, why would we risk those men's lives to go after a man who's no longer a threat? I have to agree with the secretary.
Stand down.
PARKER: RTB, Neptune.
Over.
Copy.
Over and out.
Now that we've got out of that little folly, I'd like to know who we should have been after.
ELIZABETH: He conned us out of a hundred bucks for a hot air balloon? Can you think of a good reason? So where'd you land? Good cop or bad cop? Grounded for lying, pancakes for broken heart.
You know, I got to say, - I'm surprised at Piper.
- Right? She doesn't seem like a "Barbie's Dreamliner" - kind of girl.
- But you know what? This is good; she's going against her instincts.
Jason's got to get in there and build on the friendship.
That's not exactly what I told him.
You didn't tell him - to fight for her? - Well, he did.
Look where that led him.
Because he went too big.
Henry.
Your son needs you, come on.
Okay, okay, okay.
Have you got leftover energy from hostage negotiation, or what? Definitely not.
(sighs) I'm really glad that you got Jay back.
Ugh.
You have no idea.
(whistles) Hey.
I'm ordering Thai.
What do you want? I'm not hungry.
Come on, you got to eat.
All right, look.
If you can't accept it, then get back in there and make your case.
- You ju you said - I know.
But maybe if Piper knew how you felt Sometimes that can turn the tide.
Oh, it's too late.
I'm already in the friend zone.
Okay, look.
Believe me, I know how scary it can be to take a big risk, but sometimes that's the only way to move things forward.
Use the connection you already have.
If you could lift the grounding, there's this zombie convention (laughing): Yeah, yeah.
Good try, good try.
Why don't you just call her? Like on the phone with no texting and talk to her.
Oh, yeah.
Who wants to ride in a helicopter when you can actually talk to somebody on the telephone? Perhaps later, we'll go get phosphates at the drugstore and then go to the World's Fair to admire the new gramophone.
Yeah, you see? You're not far off your game.
ELIZABETH: No.
You are not coming in.
Are you crazy? Except we might be sending you a list of possible suspects we're looking at now that we know it wasn't Pirosmani.
No rush.
Ah, maybe a bit of a rush.
But just take some time, okay? We're just really glad you're back.
All right.
I'm not sure how much of a help he'd be anyway.
Anton Jankovic hasn't left the Bahamas in 18 months.
Nassim retired, which the Turks have confirmed.
The Saudis have been shadowing Kashadian for nearly a year.
Every one of our leads is either incapacitated, imprisoned or dead.
Then we start all over.
Pull every bit of paperwork attached to the leaks, go through 'em one by one.
Yes, ma'am.
Maybe we do need Jay.
Hi.
(crying quietly) It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm okay.
(sighs) So how was Nice, otherwise? (laughter) - My God.
- Oh! I wanted to bring you guys some chocolates or something.
No.
We have the gift we need.
We have it.
You're okay? - I mean, really okay? - Yes, yes.
I'm sorry if I worried you.
It's not like it was your fault.
Well, maybe if I'd run a little faster, but (laughs) (sighs): Ah Chloe's still at day care, but please come in.
They need me back already.
No.
You cannot be serious.
It's a big thing.
Of course it is.
Hey, I just wanted you to know I'm okay.
I mean, about us.
I just don't want there to be any Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, thanks.
Okay.
So I'll come by tonight to see Chloe? - If that's all right? - Yes.
Yeah, of course.
She will be over the moon to see you.
(siren wailing in distance) (gunshot, thud) (rapid gunfire) ELIZABETH: I can't believe you did that.
You just couldn't let it go, could you? Are you talking about Pirosmani? You went behind my back, disregarded my recommendation and the president's orders.
Oh, we had nothing to do with that assassination.
Then why is the hotel reporting that a group of Americans showed up right before Pirosmani's room was hit? The guy had plenty of enemies.
Am I sorry that one of them did the job for us? No.
But it wasn't us.
Elizabeth, we had nothing to do with it.
ELIZABETH: I hate being wrong.
Now, I don't know if this'll be good news or not, but Defense Intelligence shared their files on movement - in and out of Somalia in the past - I'm sorry.
- I just have to do this again.
- two months.
We are so glad that you're back.
It's extremely mutual, ma'am.
I mean, I'm sorry to call you in already.
- But, okay, you were saying? Go ahead.
- Right.
So Dito Pirosmani's private plane here, and this was a week later.
Paul Crane.
Why do I know that name? Independent risk management and defense contractor, works with a lot of different firms.
And here's a list of his most recent partners.
Mr.
Brennan, ma'am.
Daryl.
Thanks so much for coming in to see me again.
- We're gonna get people talking.
- (laughs) We are.
You remember my senior policy advisor, Jay Whitman? - Good to see you.
- You, too.
Well, as I mentioned, we, uh We wanted to go over some things about the operation in Somalia.
How can I help? We've been tracking some stolen military equipment.
Sniper rifles and AT4s mostly.
JAY: Also quite a few M16s.
Though I hear they're temperamental.
These rebel groups aren't too picky, - and we know who armed them.
- ELIZABETH: Of course.
Dito Pirosmani.
That's what we thought, too.
Made perfect sense, right? Known illegal arms dealer who regularly operates in Africa.
But then, looking into it, turns out, Pirosmani never deals in U.
S.
weaponry.
He's right careful about that.
Almost principled.
ELIZABETH: Yeah.
I'd call Dito Pirosmani a lot of things, but principled is not one of them.
What's your point? The week after Pirosmani flew into Mogadishu, presumably to make his deal with the Somali rebel armies, we noticed another arrival of note Paul Crane? - I've worked with Paul.
- Yeah.
I would hate to think he's capable of something like that.
Hell of an allegation.
That's why we wanted to be sure.
So the FBI brought Mr.
Crane in, and he did confirm that he was working for your company during that particular mission.
I'm going to use a term I usually don't like.
Paul Crane is a mercenary.
He'd say whatever it takes to save his own skin.
Would you like to see how we confirmed what he told us? Well, you're welcome to share whatever you think you have with my legal counsel.
I don't appreciate being set up by one of my competitors.
Maybe you should call your legal counsel.
Daryl Brennan, FBI.
You're under arrest for the theft of United States government property and the murders of Barry Milken and Agent Joseph Garcia.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present during any questioning.
HENRY: If you're gonna drown your sorrow watching these chick flicks, could you at least turn it down or go upstairs - or something? - Just Okay, look, I know you're scared, but at a certain point, you're just gonna - have to talk to her.
- Dad.
That's what I'm doing right now, and you're kind of totally blowing it for me.
Piper's on my laptop.
It's like a virtual hang situation.
See? O-Okay, you two have got to get over your fear of sharing physical space.
Oh, I would love to have her in my physical space, - but she's grounded, too.
- (phone buzzes) Really? - (phone buzzes) - Okay, come on.
Go.
What? Why is she grounded? For the helicopter ride.
Which she hated, by the way, but she kind of got roped in and couldn't say no.
- And then she puked.
- Oh, that's bad.
Yeah, if by bad you mean awesome, then it's really bad.
Okay, go on, just go back to your movie.
- Okay.
- I got to go back to work for a while.
- Bye, Piper.
- PIPER: Bye, Dr.
McCord.
No funny business, you two.
(tires screeching, gunfire) So the whole arms smuggling thing was that Vesuvian or just Brennan? He was the only one on the take.
Apparently he was massively in debt, thanks to our skill in solving conflict with diplomacy instead of shooting wars.
- DAISY: Hmm.
- Go, us.
JAY: He organized this whole side deal selling stolen weaponry to cover his debts.
And, when the CIA started closing in on him, that's when he ordered the hit on Joseph Garcia.
MATT: In the State Department.
- That's insane.
- (computer chimes) BLAKE: Sorry, what was the story with Barry Milken, then? So, he was helping Brennan cover up the theft from the Texas arms depot.
And as soon as Brennan thought that Milken was gonna cut a deal with the FBI, he ordered to have him shot by a sniper.
NADINE: There he is.
Oh, I can't believe we had to call you in today.
I was happy to do it.
Yeah, he'd rather be here.
I've seen his apartment, trust me.
(all laugh) Well, I'm buying drinks if you're not dead on your feet.
That did not come out right.
(chuckles) - I heard drinks.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I might catch up with you guys.
I got a I got time with Chloe, - I just I don't want to miss.
- Good.
Nadine? I just got word that Kevin Park well, Agent Garcia, will be honored in the annual ceremony at the CIA memorial wall tomorrow.
Of course.
I should have realized.
And I know they're not even gonna be able to say his name, but I'd like to be there.
You should absolutely come.
Thank you.
Come on.
Okay.
Hey.
Are we doing this? Yeah.
SIGINT got a hit from an intercepted phone conversation.
Voice recognition confirmed it's one of our VFF leaders, Lance Abbott.
The call came from a road in the Syrian Golan, about here.
But that's not their final destination.
It's Jerusalem.
HAYMOND: Security is more than the absence of threat.
The silent soldiers of the Central Intelligence Agency work throughout the world, in some of its most dangerous places, to bring us to a deeper state of security through connection, trust and alliance, the building blocks of peace.
We honor, today, those who faced extraordinary hazard and made the ultimate sacrifice for our security.
While their names cannot be known, the fearless work that they do brings us all one step closer to a world of true security.
