Get me everything you can on Domingo Chavez.

Chao Fah Sein wants out.

He said my entire operation was controlled by the Triad,

and that whoever was running us in Washington was in their pockets.

- So what are we getting at? - Convergence.

The fusing of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization.

They want me to seize the lab.

- How much? - Double.

This was a money problem.

- That's your department. - It was Jack Ryan.

He's the one that shut it down.

Pluto, I need you to turn it back on.

And do what? Put Chavez back where he was?

You do not know who these people are.

We were too late. Now they're gonna come for me.

Everybody get back!

Violence continues on the streets of Lagos,

nearly three weeks after the assassination of President Udoh.

The so-called "death squads" are believed to be supporters

of infamous warlord Ekon Ameh,

who's expected to make a play for the presidency,

potentially ousting interim President Okoli.

The continued violence has destabilized the region,

as many global leaders are left wondering

who will be in power once the dust settles. The warlord...

Are you sure you still want to land in Lagos?

We'll assess on the tarmac.

- Still appreciate the invite? - Of course.

This is not typical of the CIA.

No, it's not, but I'm meeting with a president under siege,

and I need someone who understands his country as well as he does.

Better than he does.

- So, born and raised there? - Born, not raised.

Nigeria, extreme poverty,

small village constantly raided by soldiers,

watched my father killed in front of me,

grew up wanting to fight, until Mormon missionaries,

they came, restored our village, raised enough money

for me to get out of Nigeria and go to school.

At the fundraiser,

you said the situation there was convoluted in the eyes of politicians.

- Pretend I'm one of them. - There are three major players.

The recently assassinated President Udoh,

Ekon Ameh, the warlord whose men probably pulled the trigger,

and replacement president Okoli...

He's a practical politician who thinks he has to carry on Udoh's cause

to reclaim Nigeria's resources for its people at any cost.

Which is commendable.

President Okoli's refusal to compromise

in order to uphold old ideals,

it's denying Nigeria's evolution.

Nigeria isn't just a country, it's an opportunity.

It's a strategic hub in a world whose global powers, they're equalizing.

We both know that you're not just here for the optics.

You're here to bring stability at a price, and Okoli knows this.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Yes.

Thomas Miller is dead.

The new shipment has arrived.

You can handle it.

Tin Tun has requested you be present.

- Why? - He didn't say.

Tell him I'm busy.

For some reason, he thought you'd say no.

I think you should go.

Yeah. Understood. I'm on my way.

- What are you gonna tell him? - I have absolutely no idea.

But I'll think of something. How we doing?

The cops think it's a suicide, and the press is running with it.

All right. Well, for now, I say we let them run with it.

- I wouldn't use the front door. - That bad?

- Hey, buddy. - What the fuck?

Say "welcome." Figured we could use the help.

Any word from Chavez?

I've searched his hotel, his car, airport. Nothing.

- It's all right. We'll find him. - Yeah?

I've known guys like this my whole career.

If he doesn't want to be found, you'll never find him.

Yeah, unless you already know where he's going.

Where is he going?

- To find Chao Fah. - His asset?

- Yup. - So you think this shit is connected?

What I think is, with Miller gone, Chao Fah is all we've got.

And without his intel on convergence, we've got nothing.

Miller being murdered proves

that this corruption goes way higher than just the director of the CIA,

so we find Chao Fah, we find who's behind all this.

Jack, just because you know where Chavez is going

doesn't mean you know where he is.

Yeah, we do.

Even Chavez knows the only way to get back in the game

is to start at the beginning.

Now, wish me luck.

Good luck.

I was wondering where that key went.

- Why am I here? - Didn't Soe Wai tell you?

- I wanted you to inspect the shipment. - That's not my job.

Well, this shipment is unscheduled,

and the powers that be requested you oversee it.

Unless you'd like me to relay your refusal.

Not here.

Why?

Because sometimes they catch a chill, and sometimes they die.

The decimal's all that matters.

Remember?

What are you waiting for?

Chao Fah,

you're my brother-in-law and my boss.

Correct.

But it is my sister who matters the most to me.

Again, we're in agreement.

I know something's wrong.

I know you don't like Tin Tun, and I know...

What do you know?

I know I will do anything to protect my sister.

That's admirable, Soe.

You're a good brother.

Now get in the fucking car.

What the hell is going on?

A few days ago, I'm talking about confirmation strategy.

Now we've got Lagos, Mexico,

and a dead CIA director who may have been a goddamn spy.

Well, Miller was less of a spy, more of a puppet, sir.

- For whom? - I'm still working on it.

Well, how the hell are you going to work on it

while still keeping the ship afloat for Wright?

- Actually, I'm not. - What?

Mr. President, I humbly request to resign

from the position of deputy director.

Well, that is equal parts unacceptable and absurd.

You swore an oath to protect and serve the agency no matter the threat.

Unless that threat is me.

Sir, you said it yourself. We're in the middle of a storm.

A storm I desperately hope I can steer us out of, but right now,

the Senate Intelligence Committee has their sights firmly trained on me.

You know that the closer Director Wright is,

the more likely she is to get hit.

Ryan, you really expect me to let you leave the agency unprotected

in the one moment it needs protecting most?

Absolutely not.

That's why I've already found you a far more qualified replacement.

All right! Come on, guys!

Set, hut.

You bullshit your way out of this one too?

No, but he did bullshit his way out of a job.

Sir.

It's good to speak with you, sir. An honor.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. I'm on my way.

I can't stay, Tío.

Listen. I have to leave.

And you should leave too.

What is it?

There's gonna be people coming to look for me.

Who? Who would be coming?

Marquéz and Marin think that I betrayed them,

and the entire cartel's gonna be after me.

- No. - They know where you live.

So they're gonna come to you to get to me.

I thought I was doing good. I really did.

But I made a mistake, and I need to make it right.

Welcome, Director Wright.

Thank you, President Okoli. Acting Director at the moment.

Please. I cannot sit until you do.

Acting Director, yes.

I was told this meeting might be premature.

It's certainly possible.

But then I watch your speech.

If it was sincere,

you're undoubtedly the most enlightened

CIA director since its inception.

All I can hope is to be of service.

I feel the same.

My concern is that your political system

does not support enlightenment.

I fear the same of my own.

When you can't tell whether the lights come from electricity or fires,

nothing can be certain.

Tell me. What is it like?

A woman of your color,

in your position, in your country?

- Well, that depends on the day. - Humor me.

Empowering.

Stressful. Isolating.

And you must negotiate the legacy beneath your feet.

- Ekon Ameh? - Do not be alarmed, Director.

What is this?

Director Wright,

what purpose do you believe could bring two sworn enemies together?

To prove whose hands are clean.

I did not kill President Udoh.

- Neither did we. - So, now you know why you are here.

You must help us find out who did.

Yep. Said you had a temper.

- Who? - Ryan.

How the hell did he find me?

Said something about a tattoo on your arm.

Said people don't usually memorialize happy dates.

Luckily for him, the Catholic Church

are the best record-keepers in the world,

so here I am.

Pretty fucking good.

Yeah. I agree. Let's just not tell him that.

Chao Fah?

- Whatever it is, say it quickly. - When are you gonna contact him?

The guy that promised to help?

Even if he's still alive,

nothing could be more dangerous than trying to reach him now.

Everyone is watching us.

Tin Tun, even your brother.

My brother only has my well-being at heart.

Your brother is simple. That makes him dangerous.

But that can't have been our only chance.

- Bennu can't keep living here. - No.

None of us can.

But before we attempt anything,

we have to secure our position.

I don't understand.

We still don't have a resolution on Mexico.

Tin Tun suspects me. I have to convince him I'm not a traitor.

How?

I don't know how.

Not yet.

Greer.

I hear you're my new deputy director.

Yes, ma'am.

Investigators discovered a burner phone on one of the assassins.

I want to know who he was talking to.

- Yes, ma'am. Which number? - I'll send over the details.

And stop calling me "ma'am."

Yes. I will not.

Congratulations, James.

You deserve this.

I'm honored, Elizabeth.

We're getting the calls traced.

The moment we know something, so will you.

This port, this mouth to the ocean.

This is what my friend died for.

Nationalizing the port was his first order as president.

A week later, he was dead.

And if you follow in his footsteps,

who's to say the next attempt won't be made on you?

Maybe the right path lies somewhere in the middle.

The path of compromise.

Is that how you attained your position?

I haven't attained my position.

Not yet.

It's strange.

One number keeps repeating in connection

to the cell phone recovered in Nigeria.

What is it?

A business called BizHub out of Bethesda.

I hear congratulations are in order.

- So all this shit is your fault? - Nah, I just told them I knew a guy.

And you didn't want to ask me first?

You weren't the guy.

So that's all you have?

Yup. Turns out the CIA's not big into bringing work home with you.

You know what? Keep it.

Good-luck charm.

- Yeah. - Hey. Found him.

Whereabouts?

Central California. I'll send you the location.

I'm just happy you two didn't shoot each other.

I almost did.

Now he's making me dinner.

- Maybe I'll save you some. - Very sweet. All right. I'm on my way.

You're gonna tell me?

- Do you want to know? - Fuck, no.

Hey. Congrats.

Thank you.

- Hello there. - Afternoon.

I was wondering if you could help me with something.

This number. Is this for someone here?

- That's my number. - Your number?

- Yeah, front desk. - And anyone calling here...

They're probably looking for someone back there.

- What's back there? - Flex space.

Yeah, all these busy bees are their own business.

And someone calling the front desk asking for a business...

They would have to go through me.

Do you have a list of the current businesses?

I think so, yeah. Here we go.

Full disclosure, I don't know how old this is,

and the list changes from week to week.

You can keep it.

Thank you.

Greer's getting close. What do you want me to do?

You got it.

I wasn't gonna shoot you.

So is it cool if I call you Tío?

Hey. Took you long enough.

- You must be Mr. Ryan. - Yes, sir, I am.

You are going to keep my nephew safe.

Actually, I was hoping he'd do the same for me.

That we shall drink to.

- Domingo. - Tío.

Give him a drink.

Tío.

We need to talk.

Tomorrow. I want to enjoy this.

I may not get another chance.

I don't have time for bullshit.

Perfect. Neither do I.

The President asked me to stop any threat of convergence.

Chao Fah Sein is the only chance I have of doing that.

The way I see it, with Miller dead,

the only way to get to Chao Fah is through you.

It's nice to be needed.

It's not gonna be that easy.

If he's still alive, the Triad will be watching his every move.

And I have no way of contacting him directly,

so I have to send him a signal.

What kind of signal?

I was thinking about following his operation all the way up the ladder,

and burning every rung along the way.

So where do we start?

My cousin Marin mentioned a marketplace

where he first met Chao Fah.

That's our only lead.

Okay. And where is Marin now?

Mexico.

Hi. It's Cathy. Please leave a message.

There are places in this world that we don't want to admit exist.

Those are the places I wish to help.

Are you speaking of anywhere specific?

Do you know about the pleasure casinos in Myanmar?

- Only by concept. - There are dozens of them,

laundering money for drug dealers and human traffickers.

The drugs are churned out in factories they call "the machine."

Mostly yaba.

That's as addictive as our version of meth, I've heard.

Yes, and it's pushing the culture to ruin.

My mother, she came from that area.

Died young.

I think of her, even before she was a mother, a young girl,

and I think if only there had been people around like you,

willing to risk a little bit of themselves

to reach out a helping hand...

What a difference that would have made.

I understand.

The WHO is the only organization I've seen

with the courage to enter that heart of darkness.

Growing up, we could never depend on governments,

but we could depend on you.

I'm wondering if you'd help me bring a little light

into that part of the world.

I've learned that risk isn't the downside of a relationship.

It's the foundation.

It would be my honor.

You coming?

Something wrong?

I guess so.

I know what's going on.

Tell me.

The day we were in Mexico,

Kyi and Bennu left the compound.

I checked with security.

Did you ask Kyi where she went?

No.

Because I know she will lie.

Ever since we got back from Mexico,

she's been different.

- You've been different. - Or maybe you're becoming paranoid.

I'm not stupid.

You're trying to get out.

I know it.

Okay.

Let's say that I am.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm gonna let you go.

Let me go?

How generous.

We go to work, like usual.

And then you just leave.

I leave?

- What about my wife and child? - They stay here with me.

Otherwise they will never be safe.

Listen to me, Soe.

I'm gonna say this only once.

- You could come with us. - No.

- You could help us. - No.

I remember where we came from.

If it's between those girls on that dock and my sister,

you know who I choose.

Okay.

Then start the car.

It's all right, Soe.

It's all right.

We'll do this your way.

Take a seat.

What do you want?

- I want you to call my cousin. - Your cousin?

Your cousin is impossible to get to.

Marin still runs the operation, right?

Yes, but the only place he'll go is to the port,

and you won't be able to get to him.

I will if I'm with you.

What makes you think I work for the cartel now?

Because you're still alive.

That means whatever operation was set up

with the Silver Lotus Triad is still a go.

So you're gonna get us into that port.

I do this, I'm a dead man.

But with that kind of money, a dead man can live well.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

Let's go.

So, was I right about Okoli?

Yes, you were. He is a man torn between two extremes.

Most people find inspiration in the extremes.

I'm sure you have colleagues who see no way other than their own.

And then some.

In my experience, I find those

unwilling to sacrifice cannot be trusted.

- What are you willing to sacrifice? - For what?

Confirmation. That's why you're here really, isn't it?

To show the world that you're different.

What makes me different is that I face the world without pretense.

I don't call that a sacrifice. I call it realism.

To realism.

Jack Ryan, Mike November, Lieutenant Morales.

He's gonna knock on the door for us.

You think you can get Marin down here?

Once we raid the lab, in under 20 minutes.

Lieutenant Morales?

Excuse me.

You trust him?

I trust the effect money has on a man like him.

Hey. Where do we get one of these getups?

Oh, man. I always wanted to be a Federate.

- Yeah? So the CIA was second? - Fourth.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Sorry.

Sit down.

Take them goddamn headphones off.

You know why I'm here?

- To get a coffee? - Cut the shit.

- Have you seen Miller's files? - No, but Jack mentioned them.

The code Miller used needs a deep dive, and I need you to do it.

Be fresh eyes, okay?

- Okay. - I'll get you access.

Also, see if there's any association to BizHub.

- I hit a wall there too. - On it.

All right.

And by the way, you need to switch to decaf.

By order of the Mexican navy,

I hereby confiscate everything in this port!

I found your mole.

I assume you have good reason for all this theater?

- Just wanted to get your attention. - Well, you have it.

Follow me, please.

Tell me, Morales, what is it that is worth dying for?

Family.

- You're a traitor. - To who?

To your family. To the memory of your father.

I don't have many memories of him, and those that I do, I wish to forget.

Where's the marketplace?

- Who the fuck are you? - Jack Ryan.

Is that name supposed to mean something to me?

No, probably not.

But it will mean something to your friends when they find out

that we have photographs of you and the CIA.

Hey.

So when we leave here, everything will go back to business as usual.

Otherwise we'll make you famous. Understood?

- Where's the marketplace? - What marketplace?

Where you first met Chao Fah Sein. Where you're set to meet again.

Now do you know what we're talking about?

Hold on. Stay still. Stay still.

- Croatia! - Where in Croatia?

Dubrovnik.

The marketplace.

Run from Dubrovnik.

By who?

Olaf sky.

- Josip Olaf sky. - Shit.

- You work with him? - No, but I know someone who has.

Well, that's settled.

Locked. Password.

Primo, there's nothing to stop.

It's all been built.

I can just take your thumb.

- Hello? - Hey, son. How you doing?

Fine.

Listen.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I was walking towards the game and I got a very important phone call.

You wouldn't believe who called me.

- Who? - Well, it was...

It was...

Well, it shouldn't matter, should it?

Well, anyway...

I'm sorry I had to leave.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

All good.

Same old shit, right?

- Good night. - Well, have a...

Good night.

Where have you been?

You sure you want to know?

- Well, then where are you going? - Dubrovnik.

What the hell is there?

A private marketplace, and, assuming he's still alive, Chao Fah Sein.

We were right about convergence.

The path leads to Mexico from a port in Croatia.

And we're gonna cut it off.

Jack, you stepped down. You're out. I can't...

Listen, with the confirmation hearings, the amount of scrutiny is...

- I don't think I'll be able to... - That's why I can.

United front, right?

You ready?

I am now. Marin just gave us a direct line to Chao Fah Sein.

Tough kid.

Excuse me?

Your son.

You shouldn't let him talk to you like that.

You motherfucker.

Please. I'm here with much more important advice.

I don't need any advice from you.

Stop.

Stop? Stop what?

You're smart enough to figure it out. I'm using words as a courtesy.

You think you can threaten me at my own house?

Now, we both know this isn't your real house.

And we both know where your real home is.

So again,

just stop.
