But an exchange
of this magnitude,

Beijing will not allow it.

they can have their asset back,

or they can watch her testify
in front of a U.S. Senate panel

and the rest of

Ah, damn it.

Nikki's on a plane with MSS,

to trade.

- OK, so what
I don't understand is,

who targeted Lin Wu?

Was it someone in Beijing?

- I can tell you this,
the consul general

was less than thrilled
about this trade from the get.

- Well, Beijing
rushed it through,

so Lin Wu was important
to someone over there.

- And a threat to someone here.

Chen's the only other person
who knew we had Lin in custody.

- It just doesn't explain why
he'd want her dead, though.

- What if he was her handler?

- The consul general
of New York running

a spy op in our backyard?
What, is he new?

[together]
Yes.

- It's the perfect cover--
diplomatic immunity,

access to Chinese officials.

- Why take out
his own operative?

- Well, the intel she was
stealing was worth billions.

What if Chen was selling it off

rather than passing it back
to Beijing?

He couldn't risk
her exposing him.

There's your motive.

- We have one
tactical advantage.

No one else knows
Lin is actually dead.

- Right.

And if Chen thought that
she survived the attack,

he'd try to finish the job.

So we'll set a trap.

We'll let him try,
and then we'll

trade him back to Beijing.

Right, here's what
we're gonna do.

Larry and I will go
to the consul general

to update him on
Lin's condition,

revising a few key details
for our benefit.

Gentlemen,
Lin Wu has been shot.

- What?

- Whilst transporting
her to a secure location,

we were hit by a sniper.

- She took one in the shoulder.
- My God.

- Yes, but the good news is,
she's still alive.

- [speaking Mandarin]

- I'll tell them we're
treating Lin at a safe house

that not even the
State Department know about

and that we very much intend
to have everything

lined up for tomorrow night.

Mark my words, gentlemen,
this prisoner exchange

will go ahead as planned.

The U.S. government
is not about to back down,

no matter who is trying
to silence our detainee.

- I will let our people know.

- Once the trap has been set,

I'll head to the safe house
on foot,

hope that Chen takes the bait.
