Alice!
- [GUN FIRING]
- [ALICE GRUNTING]
Is this what Night Action
does? Threaten civilians?
We stop assholes like you.
You just confirmed Night
Action's existence to him.
[IN FARSI] What are you
doing with the Americans?
[IN FARSI] I offered to give
them Iranian intelligence.
Once I inform Abbas,
you will be on the first flight home.
[NOOR] What if I could bring him to you?
Peter. The American.
Someone is trying to synthesize
one of the Foxglove
weapons listed in that file.
We need your help to
determine which one.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[GUARD GRUNTING]
[CATHERINE] They got
another chemical compound.
They have everything they need?
[SOLOMON] Do you think these people
can build a chemical
weapon on their own?
They're gonna need someone
to build it for them.
- No! Mom!
- [GLORIA] Let her go!
- Dad!
- [WILFRED GRUNTING]
- Who the hell are you?
- I'm Dr. Cole's postdoc fellow.
[SOLOMON] You can stop all of this.
Just speak to my boss one-on-one.
Catherine? Noor hasn't shown up yet.
We have a bigger problem.

[MUSIC FADES]
Are they not feeding you enough
in that boarding school, Tomás?
- Yeah, but the food's terrible.
- The boy misses the taste of home.
The English can't cook. You
should send one of your chefs.
Maybe they would feed him better
if they knew who his father was.
What are you talking about?
The money that pays
for your fancy school
exists because of the Bala name.
The meat on your fork, that you suck
down without a care in the world,
exists because of the Bala name.
And you are so ashamed of
it you cannot even speak it?
After everything I sacrificed for you,
you thank me by introducing
yourself as Tomás Dargin in school?
Taking your mother's name?
I thought it would be easier.
The Bala name is your birthright.
What I fought for,
what our countrymen died for,
what every person at this table
has dedicated their lives to.
Have you forgotten your
family history at that school?
My name is not good enough for you,
then my dinner should not be either.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I've heard your speeches, Father.
You sent me to England
'cause you wanted me
to make something of myself.
To prove that we could be
smarter, not just stronger.
It won't help me to get into university
to be from a family of warmongers.
[TOMÁS GRUNTING]
[SCATTERED MURMURING]
[VIKTOR EXHALING]
Hey! Hey, Tomás.
[TOMÁS] Not now, Markus.
- [MARKUS] Hey.
- I said not now.
Come back to the table. Apologize.
I don't wanna see that bastard.
You should've seen him today
when we were out on the hunt,
how disappointed he was
that you weren't there.
It's all he could talk about all week,
taking his son hunting again
like he did when we were kids.
But you couldn't bother to show up.
[SCOFFING] He told you this?
I have been on every
hunt since you were eight.
I could see it on his face.
[SCOFFING] Well, you
always wanted to be there.
He never gave me the choice.
He gave you a lot more than that.
When my father died fighting for him,
he took me in and treated
me like one of his own,
but that does not stop
the rest of them in there
from reminding me that I
am not really one of you.
You you cannot see how lucky you are?
I would give anything to be named
Bala, and you just throw it away.
When Uncle Viktor heard that you
were going by Tomás Dargin in school,
he was devastated.
It was you.
You told him.
Somebody needed to
remind you of your place.
[MARKUS GRUNTING]
Don't forget your place either.
Bala isn't your name.
It never will be.
I'm better than this family. My
father hates me for it. You both do.
Go, be his lapdog.
Lick up his leftovers.
It's not that slap that stops
the other kids from bullying you.
No.
It's your name.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR OPENING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[TOMÁS] Bring them in.
Line them up.
Lock the family in one
of the fridge units.
Prepare the chemist and
his assistant for the lab.
- [JESSE] Dad?
- [WILFRED] It's going to be okay.
- Just do what they say.
- Dad?
Do what they say. You'll be fine.
- Don't do it!
- [GLORIA] I got her, Wil. I've got her.
[GLORIA AND JESSE GRUNTING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[GEARS SHIFTING]
[KEYS JANGLING]
Okay. We're out of the
city. Where are we going?
[SOLOMON LAUGHING]
[SOLOMON GRUNTING, EXHALING]
[PETER] Where are we going?
Physical violence is not an
effective interrogation technique.
I know, but it felt good,
and you're pissing me off.
You still don't know
how this works, do you?
- What do you want?
- Put a phone in my hands.
I'll call it in, I'll set up the
meeting, and I'll take you to him.
It's that simple.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
You make one move, one move,
that I don't like and
we're back to square one.
Do you understand me?
The clock is ticking.
[HANDCUFFS CLANKING]
Alice Leeds.
That was her name, right?
Your dead partner?
Do you even know the name of the
man whose life you took in Thailand?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Call your boss.
Yeah, I got Sutherland with
me. I'm bringing him in.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]
[CAR DOOR OPENING]
- What's the update?
- [CATHERINE] His phone is still off.
He ditched the Tahoe next to a
warehouse on the outskirts of the city,
and a different set of vehicle
tracks left in the opposite direction.
We picked up a gray van
on a nearby traffic cam
that could match the time and direction,
but it was the wrong
angle to catch a plate.
Christ. We've got a chemical weapon
in the hands of unknown assailants,
a dead French intelligence officer,
agents chasing ghosts around
every corner of the city,
multiple civilians abducted.
Now you're telling me your
only solid lead for any of it
managed to disappear with your agent?
Let me ask a different way.
Is Sutherland a suspect now?
- Not until I know more.
- Then get out there and find him.
Foxglove is no longer Night
Action's responsibility,
Sutherland is.
Understood.
[MUSIC FADES]
Shouldn't we be in hazmat
suits or something for this?
This whole lab is a hazmat suit.
Designed to provide its
own source of clean air
and keep every chemical component
in glass-lined, inert, sealed vessels,
all encased behind a thick layer
of corrosion-resistant nickel alloy.
Given the nature of what the CIA
was using this lab to research,
they wanted to make sure nothing
inside could ever get out.
[KNOCKING ON GLASS]
What about when we're inside?
Don't touch anything
unless I tell you to,
otherwise a hazmat suit will
be the least of your worries.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [AIR HISSING]
- [DOOR OPENING]
Take a moment, survey the lab, make
sure you have everything you need.
You really are trying to make
K.X. This is never gonna work.
Not according to your research.
- [PAPERS CLATTERING]
- That? That was all theory.
Nothing of this magnitude was
ever produced during the study.
What you're asking is
To save your family's lives.
If you do not do as you're told,
I will drag them in front of you
and put bullets through their eyes.
- Tick, tick, tick.
- But it takes it takes more than just me.
I need I need time, I
need, uh, research staff. I
So this one is useless?
- Wait!
- [WILFRED] Wait! No!
You don't understand.
If any part of this process goes wrong,
if if I make a
mistake, it could mean
Then don't fuck it up.
Get to work.
- [AIR HISSING]
- [DOOR OPENING]
[SOFTLY] What do we do?
These materials in these quantities
What they're asking might
not even be possible.
Well, they're gonna know
if we're doing nothing.
We have to look like we're working.
If I get this even slightly wrong
What do you need to do to make it safe?
To make sure you're doing it right?
- Maybe a pilot batch.
- A what?
A small test to work
out process parameters
to replicate on a larger scale.
All right, then.
As slowly as we possibly
can, let's get to work.
- And then what?
- Then we find a way out of here.
[MUSIC FADES]
[GEARS SHIFTING]
[CAR HORN HONKING IN DISTANCE]
[PETER] Come on.
[BLADE CLICKING]
[CUFFS SNAPPING]
You're not getting near him armed.
You're the one in a hurry.
All right, let's go.
It was Caleb,
the man you killed in Bangkok.
His two older brothers, both parents,
a grandmother, uncles,
cousins, their families,
nieces, nephews, friends,
myself included
we were all at his funeral.
Forty-two people who loved him.
But we'll never get to see him again
because you were doing your job.
I guess that's the life, right, Peter?
Have a good talk.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PETER] I'm here. What do you want?
Nothing.
You're the one seeking something, right?
Let's take a walk.
If there's one thing that I've
learned in this line of work,
it is that everyone and
everything has a price.
So, whatever it is you want from me,
you'll need to determine how
much you're willing to pay.
[PETER SCOFFING]
So after all this, that's all
you are, is a glorified middleman?
Buying and selling intel
for, what, a percentage?
You sold a fucking chemical
weapon to the highest bidder.
Perceptive, but incorrect.
I sold it to the bidder
with the most conviction,
- most likely to succeed.
- Succeed at what?
Well, you'll have to ask them,
assuming you find it in time.
So you gonna tell me where they are?
I suppose that depends on
how much it's worth to you.
Catching on yet?
All those lives that are gonna
be lost when they use Foxglove,
they're just meaningless to you?
If I had to put a value on them,
I'd say less to me than what
Rose Larkin's life means to you.
Now, here we are. You see?
What do you want?
The secretary general
of the United Nations
has something that I seek.
A case file.
IUN0134
dash 20180713.
The numbers after the dash
represents a date that
might help you find it.
I'm gonna say the file
number one more time.
Listen carefully and
memorize it for Rose, okay?
IUN0134
dash 20180713.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
His computer is one of the few
that would have access to it,
if not the only one.
You bring me that file,
and I'll give you the location
of where the Foxglove
weapon is being assembled,
and where Ms. Larkin is
currently being held captive.
So that's it? A file?
Well, you said it yourself.
I'm in the business of buying and
selling intelligence, am I not?
You'd sell out a client for this?
I mean, how is this file
more valuable than Foxglove?
[MAN] Let me tell you
something about value.
I didn't know my grandfather very well.
He died when I was a kid.
I could see how much
my mother loved him,
the impact he had on my mother's life.
When he passed, I came into possession
of one of his old bottles of aftershave.
No monetary value,
but to me, it was priceless.
It's hard to explain,
really, but he had touched it.
It was him.
Or rather, what he represented,
my mother's happiness.
That's how value works.
What's valuable to me is
not up to you to decide.
Similarly, one woman's life
that means the world to you
means absolutely nothing to me.
Now, here you stand,
ready to throw your
entire life away for hers.
I understand that too, Peter,
so I'm telling you,
I'll take it.
This isn't about some file.
If I do this for you
I'll own you.
And that, my new friend, is the price.
Your life for hers.
[PETER] How would I even get in there?
Conviction.
Repeat the file number back to me.
IUN0134 dash
uh, 2018
0713.
You see? Most likely to succeed.
I know what you're thinking.
The elephant in the room.
But I assure you, the past
decisions of Peter Sutherland, Sr.
do not determine what is
important to you in this moment.
What's valuable in this moment.
The decision is yours.
The repercussions are yours to bear.
When it's done, how do I contact you?
When you have what I
require, call this number.
Let it ring.
You'll receive a text with instructions.
Good luck.
Watch him.
Make sure he doesn't
deviate from his path.
[PETER EXHALING]
[PHONE LINE RINGING]
[NOOR] Peter?
Hey. I'm sorry to bother you.
Look, I know I'm the last person
that you wanna hear from right now,
the absolute last person you'd
ever do a favor for, but
What do you want?
I need to get into the UN building.
- There anything you can tell me about it?
- The UN?
Yeah, I need to get in
without setting off any, uh
You know what? I
I'm sorry. I I shouldn't have
called you. This is impossible.
Wait.
I can get you inside,
but we need to meet in person. Now.
I thought you were out of town with
Sami. What happened to the pickup?
I didn't go.
How could I after all
the lies you told me?
Je
I'm sorry, Noor.
[NOOR] I can help you.
But the only reason
why I'm talking to you
is because I need
something from you now.
[PETER] Yeah.
And I can only ask you in person.
Fine. Um
Meet me at the same basement as before.
Okay? I'm on my way now.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CELL PHONE CLATTERING]
- [ENGINE STARTING]
Okay. Uh, would you open the
valve on the nitrogen tank?
[MUSIC FADES]
[AIR HISSING]
Okay. Now what?
We wait a few moments. That
should pressurize the pumps
and purge any remaining oxygen
from the transport lines.
In the meantime,
we need to start working on a
stabilizer to inhibit oxidation.
I'm thinking a phosphate ester
from phosphorus trichloride.
I'm sorry, high school
chemistry didn't cover this.
It's okay. This compound, K.X.,
when exposed to air will rapidly
oxidize and expand as it vaporizes.
It's what makes exposure to
even a few milliliters so lethal.
So the stabilizer prevents
that from happening.
Prevent? No. But it will slow
oxidation as we work with it in the lab.
K.X. is just too unstable without it.
Uh, this mitigates the
reaction like a fail-safe.
At least, I hope. Understand?
Yeah.
No.
It's the best chance we
have of scaling this up
without killing ourselves.
[INAUDIBLE]
[TOMÁS] If he says he needs more
help, we ought to give it to him.
He's got his assistant. He's fine.
The woman you almost killed?
Your recklessness is
gonna cost us dearly.
If the chemist isn't
able to do his work
I will bring his wife
and daughter to him
one body part at a time until he does.
Everyone appreciates a deadline.
That's always been your problem.
No balls to do the dirty work.
Happy to let me get
my fingernails dirty.
And you can't see the
forest for the trees.
We have one shot at getting this right.
That family is the only leverage we have
at getting the chemist to comply.
- Get your head out of your ass.
- Or what?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[MARKUS LAUGHING]
I'm glad to see you
finally found your spine,
but don't forget who
made all of this possible.
[MARKUS EXHALING]
You want to help?
Find some leverage on the girl that
you're so desperate to keep alive.
We have a leash around
the doctor's neck.
Now we need to get one around hers.
[DOOR OPENING]
[DOOR CLOSING]
[MUSIC FADES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- Are you alone?
- Yeah. It's just me.
There's nothing I can say to make
up for what happened to your brother.
And you did not deserve
to be lied to like that,
and I'm sorry about all of it.
I have no right to ask you for anything.
I'm not even gonna ask
you for your forgiveness.
But please,
I need your help to save Rose.
This has all been about trying
to stop a chemical-weapons attack.
And whoever's trying
to do it just took Rose.
And if I can't stop this,
they're gonna kill her,
along with thousands of other people.
But if I can stop it, and I have to try,
this'll all have been worth something.
I need to get into the UN.
And if you help me, I can take
you to your mother tonight.
I swear.
I can't believe after all of
this you would lie to me again.
- I'm not lying.
- I know that you left my mother in Iran.
I know they have her in custody
doing who knows what to her.
I know our lives mean nothing to you!
- Noor, she's here.
- Liar!
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Yeah?
- It's Peter.
- [SAMI] Surprised to hear from you.
Listen, I'm here with Noor. She
didn't make the pickup because of me.
The Iranians told her her
mother never made it out.
I need you to put Azita on the phone.
And then we'll talk.
Here.
- [IN FARSI] Mom?
- [IN FARSI] Keep them talking.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [NOOR] Mom?
- Noor?
[NOOR GASPING]
[AZITA IN FARSI] Noor? Is that you?
[NOOR SOBBING]
[NOOR] Yes Yes, it's me.
Are you okay? Where are you?
New York.
[NOOR'S BREATH SHUDDERING]
[AZITA] I made it out.
But
Farhad
[NOOR] I know.
They gave me the news.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault.
It's my fault this all happened.
[AZITA] No, don't say that.
Where are you?
- When can I see you?
- [NOOR] Soon.
I'll see you very soon.
[NOOR SNIFFLING]
I love you, Mom.
[SNIFFLING] Me too, azizam.
I love you very much.
- [AZITA SNIFFLING]
[SAMI SIGHING]
Keep it. When we're clear,
just hit redial. Okay?
Sami will come pick you up.
If he doesn't find you first.
He's probably already tracking it.
- [NOOR EXHALING]
- Noor, can you help me?
Please?
With your picture, I could make you
a guest badge back at the mission.
That will probably get you
into the building, but
That's all I need.
But it doesn't matter.
Javad is here.
He's waiting outside to capture you.
They found out what I
was doing at the mission,
and they detained me
to send me back to Iran.
I'm sorry. I had no choice.
The moment we leave here,
Javad and the other guards will
take you back to the mission.
- How many of 'em are there?
- Four.
- Are they armed?
- Probably.
They're expecting you to put
up a fight like last time.
- What'll happen to you?
- They'll escort me back to the mission.
What are you thinking?
You know how to use one of these?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[AIR HISSING]
[MUSIC FADES]
If the stabilizer works with
the ratio I've calculated,
the fully mixed K.X.
should take on a purple hue.
How do you know?
Red phosphorus in the stabilizer
and the hydrogen cyanide remnants
left over in the cyanogen,
once condensed into a liquid
form, should turn purple.
That is if the bonding was successful.
[BANGING ON GLASS]
- What does he want?
- I don't know.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
In here.
Who are you?
Tell me the truth.
I'm Dr. Cole's research assistant.
- You're no chemist.
- I'm just nervous.
I've never had a gun to my head
doing this kind of thing before.
You're lying.
This was in your bag.
Classified CIA files on Foxglove.
I I must have picked it up
at Dr. Cole's house or something.
We were going through all of his files.
You're not as good at
deception as you fancy yourself.
So, one last time. Who are you?
Who do you work for? Who
else knows you're here?
Everybody.
Within the hour, this place
will be swarming with cops.
Wait, wait, wait! Please!
My family spent years
trying to get your government
to admit this even existed.
And now you show up carrying this
file in a bag like it's nothing.
Start talking now.
Okay, okay. You're right.
How do you think I got it?
I'm part of the team
that's been tracking you.
And the rest of them
are on their way here.
If you kill me, you'll
just be adding murder
of an FBI agent to your rap sheet.
I don't believe you.
If anyone knew where
you were, they'd be here.
How did you get this file?
What aren't you telling me?
You're looking for a
way out of all of this.
I saw you at Dr. Cole's house.
You don't wanna hurt anybody.
The others, they're
forcing you to do this?
They work for me. They
do what I tell them.
[ROSE] Are you sure about that?
I saw you arguing with that other guy.
Didn't look like he was taking orders.
Yeah, well, I saw you
bumbling around in that lab
like you'd never set foot in one.
How long do you think you
can keep up that charade?
Then help me stop it.
It can't be stopped.
The West is gonna pay for
what they did to my family.
So this is part of some
stupid revenge plot?
You're really planning on
using this thing on people?
Listen, I know about Foxglove.
I know how dangerous it is,
and I know you didn't
wanna kill me back there.
So I'm willing to bet you
don't wanna kill thousands
because that's what will happen.
- You don't have to do this.
- Shut up.
- You could be the hero here.
- I said that's enough!
[TOMÁS'S BREATH SHUDDERING]
It's it's too late
to stop what's coming.
Not if you let me go.
You wanna know how I got that
file? I am working with the FBI.
And those chemicals you stole today,
we were right behind you
every step of the way.
You're right, no one's coming.
But you can help us.
Let me go, and I'll bring
the FBI, CIA, everybody.
We can shut it down here and now.
If Markus catches us
We have to take that risk.
I can tell you're not a monster.
There are people out there who
care about you, who who love you,
who want a future with you, right?
What would they think about all of this?
Sloane.
S Sloane always says
I'm better than my family.
Talk to Dr. Cole, ask him what
this chemical is capable of.
And then ask yourself,
can you really live with
all that blood on your hands?
Can Sloane?
What kind of person do
you wanna be for her?
Wait here.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PETER] Noor.
Noor!
for the crime of espionage
against the Islamic Republic.
Just gonna arrest me in New York?
It's a very dangerous city.
People disappear all the time.
What if I don't comply?

The moment of truth.
[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
- [DOOR OPENING]
- [AIR HISSING]
[TOMÁS] You and I need to talk.
- Is that it?
- It's our control sample.
[MUSIC FADES]
A stable K.X. chemical agent.
I want your honest opinion.
If this weapon were to be used,
could it be contained?
- Contained?
- [TOMÁS] That's what I said.
You You don't understand.
You don't create something like this
if you're concerned about containment.
This compound you asked me to
build, do you even know how it works?
[WILFRED EXHALING]
In application, it's like any
other binary chemical munition.
But in the case of K.X., the
secondary element is oxygen.
When exposed to air,
we're talking about an
exponential increase in molarity.
Drop that in a room full of
people, it'll expand so rapidly,
they'll be breathing it in
before they knew it hit the floor.
- You're saying they'll suffocate.
- The lucky ones.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
What's more likely to happen is
they'll feel the blistering effects
as the air inside
them reacts to exposure
and it expands in their lungs.
It burns you from the
inside as you breathe it in,
and from the outside as the vapor
comes in contact with your skin.
The more you inhale,
the more oxygen you suck in as you
struggle to breathe from the pain,
the more it burns,
the faster it expands.
You'd pray to suffocate.
No
it cannot be contained.
That vial in your hand, that's murder.
This?
This is massacre.

Under no circumstances can you
complete your work here, Doctor.
Then you shouldn't have
threatened my family

[ABBAS] I asked you,

Explain yourself.
It's true
You're spying for the Americans.
What have you told them?
No, nothing, I
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
The French report
- That's none of your business.
- Your daughter's on that list.
If you say one word about this,
I'll only make things worse for you.
You're trying to protect her.
Traitors like you deserve every
punishment they will receive.
They deserve to be round up and
brought home to face their crimes.
But your daughter committed no crime.
Did she?
I heard what happened.
Running away to Paris with a boyfriend.
Is this her address?
So they know where she is
and you have to turn this
over to your superiors.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
What if I can help you?
The only thing you're going to
do for me is turn yourself in.
Let me leave.
I'll go straight to the UN,
straight to the French delegation,
and hand it right to them.
We can warn these people.
Warn your daughter.
Give her a chance to live her life.
How could I trust a traitor
to do anything noble?
You can still blame
the whole thing on me.
You already have all
the evidence you need.
You know I was trying to defect
and get my family out.
And you know my brother
was killed because of it.
There is nothing you and your
jails can do to me that will ever
make me feel worse than I already do.
Now when my mother looks at me,
all she will ever see is
how I lost her only son.
You can't do worse to me than that.
All you have to do is let
me keep being the traitor.
Tell Javad everything.
I broke in here, I took the papers,
and I ran off before you could stop me.
That's all anyone has to know.
Give your daughter that chance.
I'll give you a ten-minute head start.
Then I'm alerting the guards.

It's where the cell signal took
me. There's no sign of Peter.

Did you just let him go?
Solomon led me to his boss, the buyer.
He said he's gonna tell

and when he does,
you'll be my first call.
But you have to let me

You're nowhere, right?
You have no leads, you have no evidence,

No. You don't get to call us

Of America.
Not to make the same stupid

He did terrible, monstrous things.
And now he is paying the price for it.
Markus, there is no

That is the real truth.
And it's foolish to become

I will lead the Balas

You will follow me.

When was the last time you
considered us your people?
Uncle Viktor was hurt at first

He put on a show for the rest of them.
"My boy Tomás, out to

"Beat them at their own game."
But I knew the truth.
You abandoned him.
You abandoned us,
your people.
I knew that before your father
did, but he came to accept it.
Markus, that is bloody enough.

You were never worthy of the Bala name.

The English can't cook. You
should send one of your chefs.
Maybe they would feed him better
if they knew who his father was.
What are you talking about?
The money that pays
for your fancy school
exists because of the Bala name.
The meat on your fork, that you suck
down without a care in the world,
exists because of the Bala name.
And you are so ashamed of
it you cannot even speak it?
After everything I sacrificed for you,
you thank me by introducing
yourself as Tomás Dargin in school?
Taking your mother's name?
I thought it would be easier.
The Bala name is your birthright.
What I fought for,
what our countrymen died for,
what every person at this table
has dedicated their lives to.
Have you forgotten your

My name is not good enough for you,
then my dinner should not be either.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I've heard your speeches, Father.
You sent me to England
'cause you wanted me

Come back to the table. Apologize.
I don't wanna see that bastard.
You should've seen him today
when we were out on the hunt,
how disappointed he was
that you weren't there.
It's all he could talk about all week,
taking his son hunting again
like he did when we were kids.
But you couldn't bother to show up.
[SCOFFING] He told you this?
I have been on every
hunt since you were eight.
I could see it on his face.
[SCOFFING] Well, you
always wanted to be there.
He never gave me the choice.
He gave you a lot more than that.
When my father died fighting for him,
he took me in and treated
me like one of his own,
but that does not stop
the rest of them in there
from reminding me that I
am not really one of you.
You you cannot see how lucky you are?
I would give anything to be named
Bala, and you just throw it away.
When Uncle Viktor heard that you
were going by Tomás Dargin in school,
he was devastated.
It was you.
You told him.
Somebody needed to
remind you of your place.
[MARKUS GRUNTING]
Don't forget your place either.
Bala isn't your name.
It never will be.
I'm better than this family. My

- What's the update?
- [CATHERINE] His phone is still off.
He ditched the Tahoe next to a
warehouse on the outskirts of the city,
and a different set of vehicle
tracks left in the opposite direction.
We picked up a gray van
on a nearby traffic cam
that could match the time and direction,
but it was the wrong
angle to catch a plate.
Christ. We've got a chemical weapon
in the hands of unknown assailants,
a dead French intelligence officer,
agents chasing ghosts around
every corner of the city,
multiple civilians abducted.
Now you're telling me your
only solid lead for any of it
managed to disappear with your agent?
Let me ask a different way.
Is Sutherland a suspect now?
- Not until I know more.
- Then get out there and find him.
Foxglove is no longer Night
Action's responsibility,
Sutherland is.
Understood.

Shouldn't we be in hazmat

This whole lab is a hazmat suit.
Designed to provide its
own source of clean air
and keep every chemical component
in glass-lined, inert, sealed vessels,
all encased behind a thick layer
of corrosion-resistant nickel alloy.
Given the nature of what the CIA
was using this lab to research,
they wanted to make sure nothing
inside could ever get out.

It was Caleb,
the man you killed in Bangkok.
His two older brothers, both parents,
a grandmother, uncles,
cousins, their families,
nieces, nephews, friends,
myself included
we were all at his funeral.
Forty-two people who loved him.
But we'll never get to see him again
because you were doing your job.
I guess that's the life, right, Peter?
Have a good talk.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PETER] I'm here. What do you want?
Nothing.
You're the one seeking something, right?
Let's take a walk.
If there's one thing that I've
learned in this line of work,
it is that everyone and
everything has a price.
So, whatever it is you want from me,
you'll need to determine how
much you're willing to pay.
[PETER SCOFFING]
So after all this, that's all
you are, is a glorified middleman?
Buying and selling intel
for, what, a percentage?
You sold a fucking chemical
weapon to the highest bidder.
Perceptive, but incorrect.
I sold it to the bidder
with the most conviction,
- most likely to succeed.
- Succeed at what?
Well, you'll have to ask them,
assuming you find it in time.
So you gonna tell me where they are?
I suppose that depends on
how much it's worth to you.
Catching on yet?
All those lives that are gonna
be lost when they use Foxglove,
they're just meaningless to you?
If I had to put a value on them,
I'd say less to me than what
Rose Larkin's life means to you.
Now, here we are. You see?
What do you want?
The secretary general
of the United Nations
has something that I seek.
A case file.
IUN0134
dash 20180713.
The numbers after the dash
represents a date that
might help you find it.
I'm gonna say the file
number one more time.
Listen carefully and
memorize it for Rose, okay?
IUN0134
dash 20180713.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
His computer is one of the few
that would have access to it,
if not the only one.
You bring me that file,
and I'll give you the location
of where the Foxglove
weapon is being assembled,
and where Ms. Larkin is
currently being held captive.
So that's it? A file?
Well, you said it yourself.
I'm in the business of buying and
selling intelligence, am I not?
You'd sell out a client for this?
I mean, how is this file
more valuable than Foxglove?
[MAN] Let me tell you
something about value.
I didn't know my grandfather very well.
He died when I was a kid.
I could see how much
my mother loved him,
the impact he had on my mother's life.
When he passed, I came into possession
of one of his old bottles of aftershave.
No monetary value,
but to me, it was priceless.
It's hard to explain,
really, but he had touched it.
It was him.
Or rather, what he represented,
my mother's happiness.
That's how value works.
What's valuable to me is
not up to you to decide.
Similarly, one woman's life
that means the world to you
means absolutely nothing to me.
Now, here you stand,
ready to throw your
entire life away for hers.
I understand that too, Peter,
so I'm telling you,
I'll take it.
This isn't about some file.
If I do this for you
I'll own you.
And that, my new friend, is the price.
Your life for hers.
[PETER] How would I even get in there?
Conviction.
Repeat the file number back to me.
IUN0134 dash
uh, 2018
0713.
You see? Most likely to succeed.
I know what you're thinking.
The elephant in the room.
But I assure you, the past
decisions of Peter Sutherland, Sr.
do not determine what is
important to you in this moment.
What's valuable in this moment.
The decision is yours.
The repercussions are yours to bear.
When it's done, how do I contact you?
When you have what I
require, call this number.
Let it ring.
You'll receive a text with instructions.
Good luck.

deviate from his path.

[NOOR] I can help you.
But the only reason

Okay? I'm on my way now.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CELL PHONE CLATTERING]
- [ENGINE STARTING]
Okay. Uh, would you open the
valve on the nitrogen tank?
[MUSIC FADES]
[AIR HISSING]
Okay. Now what?
We wait a few moments. That
should pressurize the pumps
and purge any remaining oxygen
from the transport lines.
In the meantime,
we need to start working on a
stabilizer to inhibit oxidation.
I'm thinking a phosphate ester
from phosphorus trichloride.
I'm sorry, high school
chemistry didn't cover this.
It's okay. This compound, K.X.,
when exposed to air will rapidly
oxidize and expand as it vaporizes.
It's what makes exposure to
even a few milliliters so lethal.
So the stabilizer prevents
that from happening.
Prevent? No. But it will slow
oxidation as we work with it in the lab.
K.X. is just too unstable without it.
Uh, this mitigates the
reaction like a fail-safe.
At least, I hope. Understand?
Yeah.
No.
It's the best chance we
have of scaling this up
without killing ourselves.
[INAUDIBLE]
[TOMÁS] If he says he needs more
help, we ought to give it to him.
He's got his assistant. He's fine.
The woman you almost killed?
Your recklessness is
gonna cost us dearly.
If the chemist isn't
able to do his work
I will bring his wife
and daughter to him
one body part at a time until he does.
Everyone appreciates a deadline.
That's always been your problem.
No balls to do the dirty work.
Happy to let me get
my fingernails dirty.
And you can't see the
forest for the trees.
We have one shot at getting this right.
That family is the only leverage we have

I have no right to ask you for anything.
I'm not even gonna ask

But please,

This has all been about trying

And if I can't stop this,
they're gonna kill her,
along with thousands of other people.
But if I can stop it, and I have to try,

[NOOR GASPING]
[AZITA IN FARSI] Noor? Is that you?
[NOOR SOBBING]
[NOOR] Yes Yes, it's me.
Are you okay? Where are you?
New York.
[NOOR'S BREATH SHUDDERING]
[AZITA] I made it out.
But
Farhad
[NOOR] I know.
They gave me the news.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault.
It's my fault this all happened.
[AZITA] No, don't say that.
Where are you?
- When can I see you?
- [NOOR] Soon.
I'll see you very soon.
[NOOR SNIFFLING]
I love you, Mom.
[SNIFFLING] Me too, azizam.
I love you very much.
- [AZITA SNIFFLING]
[SAMI SIGHING]
Keep it. When we're clear,
just hit redial. Okay?
Sami will come pick you up.
If he doesn't find you first.
He's probably already tracking it.
- [NOOR EXHALING]
- Noor, can you help me?
Please?
With your picture, I could make you
a guest badge back at the mission.
That will probably get you
into the building, but
That's all I need.
But it doesn't matter.
Javad is here.
He's waiting outside to capture you.
They found out what I
was doing at the mission,
and they detained me
to send me back to Iran.
I'm sorry. I had no choice.
The moment we leave here,
Javad and the other guards will
take you back to the mission.
- How many of 'em are there?
- Four.
- Are they armed?
- Probably.
They're expecting you to put
up a fight like last time.
- What'll happen to you?
- They'll escort me back to the mission.
What are you thinking?
You know how to use one of these?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[AIR HISSING]
[MUSIC FADES]
If the stabilizer works with
the ratio I've calculated,
the fully mixed K.X.
should take on a purple hue.
How do you know?
Red phosphorus in the stabilizer
and the hydrogen cyanide remnants
left over in the cyanogen,
once condensed into a liquid
form, should turn purple.
That is if the bonding was successful.
[BANGING ON GLASS]
- What does he want?
- I don't know.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
In here.
Who are you?
Tell me the truth.
I'm Dr. Cole's research assistant.
- You're no chemist.
- I'm just nervous.
I've never had a gun to my head
doing this kind of thing before.
You're lying.
This was in your bag.
Classified CIA files on Foxglove.
I I must have picked it up
at Dr. Cole's house or something.
We were going through all of his files.
You're not as good at
deception as you fancy yourself.
So, one last time. Who are you?
Who do you work for? Who
else knows you're here?
Everybody.
Within the hour, this place
will be swarming with cops.
Wait, wait, wait! Please!
My family spent years
trying to get your government
to admit this even existed.
And now you show up carrying this
file in a bag like it's nothing.
Start talking now.
Okay, okay. You're right.
How do you think I got it?
I'm part of the team
that's been tracking you.
And the rest of them
are on their way here.
If you kill me, you'll
just be adding murder
of an FBI agent to your rap sheet.
I don't believe you.
If anyone knew where
you were, they'd be here.
How did you get this file?
What aren't you telling me?
You're looking for a
way out of all of this.
I saw you at Dr. Cole's house.
You don't wanna hurt anybody.
The others, they're
forcing you to do this?
They work for me. They
do what I tell them.
[ROSE] Are you sure about that?
I saw you arguing with that other guy.
Didn't look like he was taking orders.
Yeah, well, I saw you
bumbling around in that lab
like you'd never set foot in one.
How long do you think you
can keep up that charade?
Then help me stop it.
It can't be stopped.
The West is gonna pay for
what they did to my family.
So this is part of some
stupid revenge plot?
You're really planning on
using this thing on people?
Listen, I know about Foxglove.
I know how dangerous it is,
and I know you didn't
wanna kill me back there.
So I'm willing to bet you
don't wanna kill thousands
because that's what will happen.
- You don't have to do this.
- Shut up.
- You could be the hero here.
- I said that's enough!
[TOMÁS'S BREATH SHUDDERING]
It's it's too late
to stop what's coming.
Not if you let me go.
You wanna know how I got that
file? I am working with the FBI.
And those chemicals you stole today,
we were right behind you
every step of the way.
You're right, no one's coming.
But you can help us.
Let me go, and I'll bring
the FBI, CIA, everybody.
We can shut it down here and now.
If Markus catches us
We have to take that risk.
I can tell you're not a monster.
There are people out there who
care about you, who who love you,
who want a future with you, right?
What would they think about all of this?
Sloane.
S Sloane always says
I'm better than my family.
Talk to Dr. Cole, ask him what
this chemical is capable of.
And then ask yourself,
can you really live with
all that blood on your hands?
Can Sloane?
What kind of person do
you wanna be for her?
Wait here.

[TOMÁS] You and I need to talk.
- Is that it?
- It's our control sample.
[MUSIC FADES]
A stable K.X. chemical agent.
I want your honest opinion.
If this weapon were to be used,
could it be contained?
- Contained?
- [TOMÁS] That's what I said.
You You don't understand.
You don't create something like this
if you're concerned about containment.
This compound you asked me to
build, do you even know how it works?
[WILFRED EXHALING]
In application, it's like any
other binary chemical munition.
But in the case of K.X., the
secondary element is oxygen.
When exposed to air,
we're talking about an
exponential increase in molarity.
Drop that in a room full of
people, it'll expand so rapidly,
they'll be breathing it in
before they knew it hit the floor.
- You're saying they'll suffocate.
- The lucky ones.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
What's more likely to happen is
they'll feel the blistering effects
as the air inside
them reacts to exposure
and it expands in their lungs.
It burns you from the
inside as you breathe it in,
and from the outside as the vapor
comes in contact with your skin.
The more you inhale,
the more oxygen you suck in as you
struggle to breathe from the pain,
the more it burns,
the faster it expands.
You'd pray to suffocate.
No
it cannot be contained.
That vial in your hand, that's murder.
This?
This is massacre.
I want you to listen very carefully.
Under no circumstances can you
complete your work here, Doctor.
Then you shouldn't have
threatened my family
and put me in a transparent
cage. They're watching.
Then stall for as long
as humanly possible.
Stall long enough, and I'll get
you and the girl out of here.
I'm not leaving without my family.
I understand.

You're spying for the Americans.
What have you told them?
No, nothing, I
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
The French report
- That's none of your business.
- Your daughter's on that list.
If you say one word about this,
I'll only make things worse for you.
You're trying to protect her.
Traitors like you deserve every
punishment they will receive.
They deserve to be round up and
brought home to face their crimes.
But your daughter committed no crime.
Did she?
I heard what happened.
Running away to Paris with a boyfriend.
Is this her address?
So they know where she is
and you have to turn this
over to your superiors.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
What if I can help you?
The only thing you're going to
do for me is turn yourself in.
Let me leave.
I'll go straight to the UN,
straight to the French delegation,
and hand it right to them.
We can warn these people.
Warn your daughter.
Give her a chance to live her life.
How could I trust a traitor
to do anything noble?
You can still blame
the whole thing on me.
You already have all
the evidence you need.
You know I was trying to defect
and get my family out.
And you know my brother
was killed because of it.
There is nothing you and your
jails can do to me that will ever
make me feel worse than I already do.
Now when my mother looks at me,
all she will ever see is
how I lost her only son.
You can't do worse to me than that.
All you have to do is let
me keep being the traitor.
Tell Javad everything.
I broke in here, I took the papers,
and I ran off before you could stop me.
That's all anyone has to know.
Give your daughter that chance.
I'll give you a ten-minute head start.
Then I'm alerting the guards.

It's where the cell signal took
me. There's no sign of Peter.
You want me to take her to her mother?
Not yet, but stay on her.

Did you just let him go?
Solomon led me to his boss, the buyer.
He said he's gonna tell

and when he does,
you'll be my first call.
But you have to let me
out of that door now.

You're nowhere, right?
You have no leads, you have no evidence,

Leave us.
Our cause has no room for non-believers.
When did you lose your faith, Tomás?
Markus, cousin
No. You don't get to call us
family anymore. That time is over.
You and I set out to
expose the lies of the West.
Of America.
Not to make the same stupid
mistakes my father did.
He did terrible, monstrous things.
And now he is paying the price for it.
Markus, there is no
saving him from justice.
That is the real truth.
And it's foolish to become
monsters ourselves trying to.
I will lead the Balas
back to respectability.
To power.
I am the head of this family
now, and you will respect that.
You will follow me.
Together, you and I
will bring peace and
prosperity to our people.
- Our people?
- Yes.
When was the last time you
considered us your people?
Uncle Viktor was hurt at first
when you stopped coming back
home from boarding school.
He put on a show for the rest of them.
"My boy Tomás, out to
conquer the Western world."
"Beat them at their own game."
But I knew the truth.
You abandoned him.
You abandoned us,
your people.
I knew that before your father
did, but he came to accept it.
Markus, that is bloody enough.
Let me out of here right now.
You were never worthy of the Bala name.
I knew that, and eventually,
he came to know it too.
You fucking animal.
