Previously on Designated Survivor...

Your claim that Andrea Frost is responsible for the hackings and murder...

This conclusion is a product of months of painstaking work.

I asked you here because you're an excellent judge of character.

Dr. Andrea Frost. Do you think she's capable of sabotage?

You don't get to be the first female tech billionaire

without a ruthless streak.

You're not just a saboteur, you are a murderer.

If you slander me in public again,

this will be your last act working for the government or anyone else.

Your actions constitute rank insubordination, which I can't accept.

- Mr. President... - Agent Wells, you've been terminated.

Effective immediately.

Senator. Good to see you. Thank you very much for coming. Hi.

Remind me exactly what we're doing here.

The White House equinox reception is a rite of passage.

We're celebrating renewal.

What exactly are we renewing?

Our fiscal bonds. The Beltway's biggest donors are here.

People who will donate liberally to your most cherished causes.

- The Bultani ambassador's here. - Thank you, Aaron. Excuse us.

Mr. President. The people of Bultan wish you a very...

Let's dispense with the pleasantries and get to the point.

Matthew Jennings must be released from jail and must come home now.

He committed a crime.

Yes, he has. He drew a smiley face on the side of a building.

He's a teenager who is now facing ten years in prison?

My country takes enforcement of its laws very seriously.

This has nothing to do with your laws and everything to do with Pulu Islands.

A territory our countries share sovereignty over.

Meaning the exploitation of oil reserves...

Is subject to bilateral approval, which we're not going to give.

Now you're using an innocent teenager as some kind of leverage.

We won't allow the desecration of one of the last pristine places on Earth.

Not desecration, Mr. President. Exploration.

And not innocent, but guilty, as a Bultani court found.

The trial lasted less than 15 minutes.

Our justice system is very efficient,

which is why sentence will be passed as early as tomorrow.

Gentlemen.

Emily, meet Steven Flannery. My first boss.

- Pleasure. - The pleasure is mine.

I'm a big fan of your work at the Zeno Institute.

Oh, thank you. We have great lawyers, but not many Kendras out there.

Or Steven Flannerys, which is why we wanted to talk to you.

I'm sorry?

Cyrus Gladwell from the DC Circuit passed away last week.

His death leaves the appellate court with an empty chair.

The president needs someone

whose brilliance and moral clarity will lead the way. Someone like you.

I'm flattered. But I'm a teacher now. I'm an activist.

"We must meet the challenge, rather than wish it were not before us."

- Justice Brennan. - Yes.

You used to have that inscription framed on your wall.

I still do.

Judges don't just shape our laws. They shape our values.

I know you believe that because you said it to me years ago.

The president believes it, too. He's asking you to meet the challenge.

I may have been too good a mentor. You're very persuasive.

So that's a yes?

If the president wants me to serve, I will.

- Benjamin Harrelson. CEO of ClimateKind. - Thank you.

Benjamin, it's been too long.

It's an honor. I trust that the shrimp

have been sustainably farmed this year, unlike last?

I haven't checked, but I'll get someone to look in on it.

Try the hormone-free cheese puffs. They're great.

Enjoy your night.

You throw a hell of a party on the taxpayers' dime.

Mr. West, I don't recall seeing you on the guest list.

I'm representing the family of Matthew Jennings.

Since when?

Since I saw his poor mother on the news last week. I was moved.

- Moved right into the spotlight. - Lyor.

I'm doing this out of concern for an innocent kid.

Tell Ms. Jennings we're doing all we can to bring her son home.

Seems like you're burning the midnight oil.

It's odd to have the FBI pay me a visit, Agent Wells.

Former FBI, actually. The president just terminated me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'd be happy to put you in touch

with my head of security to see if we're hiring.

Oh, no, I'm not... I'm not looking for a job.

I'm looking to protect the president.

The president who just fired you.

Yes. Because I believe he's being misled by a woman named Andrea Frost.

I think you know the name.

I do. Have you shared your suspicions with your former boss?

It's why I don't have a job.

Hmm.

The president has a blind spot for his friends.

An allegiance that can cloud his judgment.

Then what do you need from me?

- Have lunch with her. - Why?

Her place is 43 minutes from the Old Ebbitt Grill.

Giving you time to break into her house to search for evidence.

Yeah, I can't be complicit with that.

I thought you were loyal to the president.

I am, but I'd rather not be an accomplice to a burglary.

There are other people Dr. Frost will meet with.

Why'd you come to me?

They don't have the president's best interests at heart.

Mr. President.

I won't talk about the Pulu Islands any further this evening.

There is no need, sir. I appreciate the compromise.

Excuse me?

Agreeing on the offshore exploration of the Pulu Islands

allows our countries to share in billions of revenue.

The prime minister is pleased. And Mr. Jennings will soon be home.

Who approached you with this compromise?

Your emissary.

You do know that misrepresenting yourself

as an agent of the US government is a federal crime?

I didn't do that.

You're saying you didn't promise the ambassador concessions

for the release of Mr. Jennings?

Absolutely not. I might have implied that you would consider a deal.

Well, that's a crime, too.

Not from where I sit. Mr. Jennings is a scared 17-year-old kid...

And you think I'm not aware of that.

You're not aware our interests aren't exactly in line.

I'm sorry. I don't follow.

You have all kinds of things to consider.

Politics. Diplomacy. I have one. That kid. I wanna get him home.

And you can put me in jail if you want to. I look good in orange.

I just spoke with the president.

He wants us to disabuse Ambassador Dhawan of any notion of a quid pro quo.

- Now. - There's gonna be fallout.

Doesn't matter. Jennings' release must be unconditional.

- Oh, my God! - Call 911! Now!

- There's no pulse. - Get me the president.

Synced & corrected by MaxPayne == https://subscene.com ==

This is absurd.

The ambassador dies of a heart attack

and the Bultani prime minister is blaming us?

They're using his death for diplomatic advantage.

- You think? - They could do that for a while.

Early indications are the ambassador was poisoned.

- The ME is still examining the toxin. - Are you serious?

An unsolved murder of a Bultani diplomat on US soil

won't help bilateral relations.

Or Matthew Jennings. His sentencing is today.

If this is true, it's on us to find the murderer.

- Yes, sir. - Emily...

I'm in touch with Matthew's mother.

Good. I wanna talk to her. Let's get to it.

We're sitting on a diplomatic powder keg.

We need to keep this in-house.

I spoke to DC Metro. They'll defer to us unless we send up a flare.

- Understood. - You'll need a running buddy on this.

Someone from the FBI.

I've got just the guy in mind.

You just said, "I wish you lentils."

Oh. I meant, "I wish you justice."

We know that matters to the Bultani people.

It's what we want to get for your friend, the late Ambassador Dhawan.

There were no threats. At least, not at the embassy.

- But Dhawan was hardly ever there. - Where was he?

At his horse farm in Potomac.

The ambassador lived a lavish lifestyle, unbecoming of a diplomat.

How lavish?

He liked money.

And he had a talent for losing it.

Matthew was in Bultan on a music exchange. He plays the trumpet.

Ms. Jennings, Matthew made a mistake.

But what they're threatening him with is unacceptable.

Which is why we gotta get him out of there soon.

I've made a personal plea to the prime minister.

- What did he say? - He would consider it.

But tensions are high between our countries.

Is there anything we can offer them to grease the wheels of his release?

Negotiations for the return of US citizens are classified.

I can't elaborate on that any further.

My son is my best friend. He's all I've got.

Ms. Jennings, I care more about my children than anything in the world.

I can only imagine what you're going through.

You'll have to trust me.

I promise you, we'll do absolutely everything we can

to bring your son home.

The president is committed to bringing Matthew home.

Is his release tied to the murder of the Bultani ambassador?

- No. - Is it tied to the Pulu Islands?

- No. - I have it on authority

from Ethan West that if the US softens its stance on oil...

Ethan West is no authority and the president won't be held to ransom.

May be too late for ransom.

Bultan just sentenced the kid to 20 years' hard labor.

Twenty years' hard labor? You can't be serious.

I'm sorry you are disappointed with the sentence.

We were disappointed in the crime.

But perhaps we can reach an accommodation.

I will not allow this nation to be extorted.

It's not about extortion. It's about a mutual benefit.

- A protected habitat... - That can yield billions.

That may not mean much to you, but Bultan is drowning in debt.

Matthew's not the solution to your problems.

No, sir.

Oil is.

I can help the young man.

If you help me.

The prison he is being sent to,

I wouldn't wish him to spend one day there.

I'd like to talk to him first, see how he's being treated.

I will arrange it.

If we give in to blackmail, we set a bad precedent.

Respectfully, sir, all to get one kid back?

Matthew won't survive 20 days in that prison,

let alone 20 years.

If there's something we can do to help him, we're gonna do it.

Some spread.

The ambassador clearly liked the good life.

That's a beautiful tree.

Not if you have allergies. It must be a nightmare in the summer.

Get it on the truck.

Secret Service. What are you doing?

Getting my money back.

Ambassador Dhawan was in hock to me for about two million,

which he invested in horses.

- How long you been trying to collect? - About a year.

He was trying to sell the farm, but he couldn't.

Surprising. It's a beautiful property. I wonder what the problem is.

All I know is he's been in debt for a couple years.

If you don't mind,

I have to go convince someone this tub of glue is Secretariat.

So where are we on Flannery's vetting for the judgeship?

He's clean as a whistle. Except for one blip.

A 2008 sexual discrimination suit filed by a female associate.

Flannery and his then-firm were the named defendants.

The case was dismissed with prejudice at the discovery phase.

- What's the problem? - The GOP, who control judiciary.

They'll look for any excuse to disqualify a progressive icon like him.

We need to get in front of this.

Huh. The complainant is Kaitlin Corday.

I worked with her at the Sentinel a few years ago.

Let me reach out, get the low-down.

Hi. The reservation is under Minter.

How much time do we have?

The restaurant's reservation system indicates Minter's party has checked in.

So, you've got two hours.

Control box is on the side of the house.

AmericasCardroom.com brings poker back Million Dollar Sunday Tournament every Sunday

I'm in. Good news is I bypassed a door that won't trip the alarm.

- Okay, what's the bad news? - It's on the roof.

Hey, Chuck, I'm getting an EMF spike.

There's a lot of power coming from this closet.

It's gotta be a false wall.

You're right. I'm going in.

Watch yourself.

Copy that.

The EMF meter is off the charts.

This place is drawing more power than a small city.

Chuck, I don't see any cameras. I'm gonna link you in with my phone.

This looks like mission control at NASA.

Whoa.

That's how the hacking's done. Satellite telemetry.

How are they treating you, son?

Fine, sir. I'm just sorry I'm causing everyone so much trouble.

I know you are.

You need to know we're doing everything we can to bring you home.

If you could just, uh, tell my mom that I'm okay?

Of course I will. Hopefully you'll see her really soon.

I... I know they're blackmailing you, and I don't want to be used that way.

Promise me you won't let them...

Matthew? Matthew!

Son of a bitch.

Get me Prime Minister Khallou immediately.

The papers for the oil exploration deal have been drawn up.

Secretary Krantz is waiting for your approval.

Delay it. Emily, get Krantz to draw up sanctions against Bultan.

We're gonna raise the heat. You were both right, and so is this kid.

We'll find a way to bring him home without rolling over.

I think I finally found the access point to the main server.

Just get in there. Time's wasting.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

Okay, I'm in.

On the double. This is burglary. Digital theft.

Just watch my back.

They just paid the check. You have a half hour.

You better get going.

Wait, I got something. It's on a sub-server.

The Turing source code.

Our hacking proof.

I'm pulling up the relevant database, but I can't copy it remotely.

All right, I'm on it.

It's nice to hear from you. It's been a long time.

Yep, since our days at the Sentinel. And, uh, I'd love to catch up,

but I'm afraid this is, um... this is all business.

We're considering Steven Flannery for a position.

I wanted to ask you about the claim you filed against him.

- It's all in the past. - But the past informs the present.

It was sexual discrimination?

Yes. Failure to promote. I was passed over.

What was your relationship?

He was partner. Asked me out right before my review. I said no.

And he retaliated.

Not to my face, but he was a big player at Whitney Irvington.

The court said you couldn't state a claim.

He shouldn't have hit on me. He was a partner. I wanted to be one.

I understand. I'm... I'm trying to ascertain if he did anything else.

No. He was perfectly lovely. Until the day I was shown the door.

So you had no proof.

No. And I wasn't going to get any from the old boys' club.

It's the reason I left the law and became a journalist.

Nobody keeps the real story from me anymore.

Why are we even talking about this?

Kaitlin's disgruntled because she was passed over. There's nothing there.

Except bad judgment on Flannery's part.

Flannery is the leading light for women's rights, reproductive rights,

- equal pay. - And he's your rabbi.

I wouldn't vouch for him if I didn't believe in his virtue.

No one's questioning his virtues. We're talking about his vices.

Asking a coworker out?

Kendra's got a point. Sounds like nothing but an indiscretion.

Which shouldn't be reason to torpedo him.

Agreed. I will float a trial balloon about his candidacy.

Legal, media, political circles.

Good. No red flags, we'll bring him to the president.

Great. Thank you.

Unless a meteor hits it, the car's two minutes out.

Come on, come on.

We have enough. Get out.

Do you know exactly where the source code is on this database?

- No. - Then we're getting it all.

Subject is in the driveway. Hannah, get out.

Got it. Go!

Subject entering house.

- Hey, Emily, do you have a second? - Sure.

Look, in the interest of full disclosure,

I should let you know that Flannery and I had a brief thing ten years ago.

- How brief? - It was one evening.

We were on a case in Boise. I was a junior associate.

He was a newly-minted partner. We won big.

Had a few French 75s and he invited me back to his room.

- Consensual? - Absolutely.

We never even discussed it. He's had my back since.

You kept a lid on this because...

I didn't want to seem biased. I'm not.

But in light of everything, I don't wanna whitewash misconduct.

It doesn't sound like there's any misconduct to whitewash.

No, he's... he's great. I don't know if I should steer his candidacy.

I disagree. You hooked the fish. You reel him in.

Emily, if I was... if I too defensive earlier...

You weren't.

You were being fair then and you're being fair now.

Pulled up Dhawan's financials.

His farm's worth enough to cover his debt, easy.

Then why couldn't he sell it?

He was in litigation with a company called Royal Oak LLC.

Seemed to involve his house. I'm trying to get the filings.

Good. And I just got the full tox screen back from the ME.

Dhawan was poisoned with ricin, which takes six to eight hours to kill.

Meaning he wasn't poisoned here.

Yep. We gotta find out where Dhawan was before he keeled over.

- DC Circuit? - Yes.

Assuming I'm confirmed, I'll need interns. I think that you'd be perfect.

Thanks.

She's a comer, that one.

Yeah. The vetting's coming along nicely.

Still a few T's to cross and I's to dot,

but we'll get your name to the president today.

Great. It took time to get my head around it,

but you're right. I could do real good from the bench.

You can. Stay close. I'll be in touch.

Oh, Sasha, show Mr. Flannery out?

Hey. Steve Flannery.

- I know. Sasha Dixon. It's an honor. - Oh.

Oh, thank you.

Hey. So, we all buttoned up?

Just about. Um, I want to double-check something, though.

Could your people dig a little more into Flannery?

- They pulled everything on the record. - This wouldn't be on the record.

- What are you hoping to find? - Nothing.

Mmm-hmm.

You wanted to talk to me about ClimateKind?

Yeah. But first we need to show you something.

We retraced the ambassador's steps over the last 24 hours.

That's Ambassador Dhawan yesterday, at a cafe.

And that's you, swapping out his drink and poisoning him.

Are you mad? That's not me.

Looks like your ring.

It's an Eastlake University ring. A lot of people have the same one.

But not people involved in protracted litigation

over the removal of a tree that straddles the property line

between your house and the ambassador's.

What are you talking about?

The roots destroyed the ambassador's plumbing.

It's why he couldn't sell.

Unless he got it removed.

Your loan-out, Royal Oak LLC, got injunctions.

Until Dhawan finally got a court order to take the tree down.

And with Bultan in the news,

you figured now was the time to kill the ambassador.

There'd be multiple suspects. But in the end, there was only one.

Your tree. Your ring. Your drink.

Your ass.

Thank you, Julie.

Where are we with the kid?

Solving the murder of the ambassador relieved pressure on the prime minister.

- He's in a place to negotiate. - Good.

Except his office released a statement saying he won't.

I thought we floated a six-month jail sentence

in exchange for limited drilling rights. That's a nonstarter?

It is, because Ethan West is on a rampage. CNN, MSNBC, Al Jazeera.

What is he saying?

He's saying that the prime minister is Stalin.

That, uh, you're in bed with the devil. That both countries are corrupt.

Get him in here. Arrest him if you have to.

Unbelievable.

Mr. West, there's a difference between an adversary and an enemy.

When you sabotaged my negotiation, you crossed the line.

I'm just doing what's best for Matthew.

Well, thanks to you and your overreach,

he is now looking at 20 years.

I couldn't figure out why you became involved in this case,

so I had my people look into it. They brought me this.

Why didn't you tell me you knew his aunt?

You went to college with Allie Jennings. Is that correct?

Yes.

And she was murdered in 1988.

Yes.

What does that have to do with you?

Everything.

I was supposed to meet Allie that night for a drink.

But I...

I got sidetracked.

And I stood her up.

The file said she was stabbed to death outside a bar.

At two in the morning.

Waiting for me.

Her sister didn't... didn't know about the connection.

But I heard about the case and I reached out.

This is your effort to make some kind of amends?

What happened to Allie is my fault.

No, it isn't.

Yeah, it is. And it's why I wanna get her son back.

Not in a year. Not in six months. Not in a week. Today.

Mr. West, all you're doing right now is getting in the way.

You wanna help the Jennings and the young man?

You need to work with me.

Another complaint?

Yes, one. For retaliatory dismissal.

It was settled out with a confidentiality agreement.

It can still come to light.

Unlikely. This is subterranean. Judiciary will not trip to it.

- Who was the complainant? - 26-year-old paralegal named Jane Quincy.

But two lawsuits in decades of practice isn't disqualifying.

You work in the legal profession, people tend to be litigious.

He'll sail through confirmation. It's your call.

I'll tell him.

Thanks.

- Hey. - Hey. Kendra.

I'm sorry I couldn't get back to the White House.

- It's been a crazy day. - No problem.

- Please. - Thanks.

I've been looking at the DC Circuit's docket

for the upcoming calendar. So many crucial cases.

And your drinks.

Oh, thank you. I got you a French 75.

I haven't had one of these since...

Boise, right? I thought this was a night for celebration.

Mr. President, I will keep this short.

Mr. West has humiliated me.

Made me look like I'm colluding with a country that kills our ambassadors.

He hasn't done me many favors, either.

I had nothing to do with that.

It doesn't matter, because now we have a new deal.

Bultan gets unrestricted exploration rights on the Pulu Islands.

No profit-sharing. And no sanctions.

If I don't agree with that?

Matthew Jennings does 20 years.

I was afraid you were gonna say that.

I believe Mr. West has a different perspective on the issue.

Hi, Mr. Prime Minister.

He has discovered something unusual in the Pulu habitat.

You destroyed it. Strip-mining, dumping, air pollution.

Mr. West happens to be a world-renowned toxic tort lawyer.

He plans to file suit against your country in every international tribunal.

I'll make it my mission to sue your country.

I think we both know what Mr. West is capable of.

This mission of his is going to cost your country billions of dollars.

Don't just take his word for it. Google me. Look at my verdicts.

You have an opportunity to show the world the depth of your compassion and humanity.

What do you want, Mr. President?

Mr. Jennings' freedom.

And the mining?

That's been taken off the table.

The US government will be more than happy

to pay for the damage caused by the graffiti.

And in order for you to save face,

Mr. Jennings will wash the graffiti off the wall in front of cameras.

If there's nothing else, I believe our business is done.

Mr. President...

The FAA will contact you when his flight is in the air,

then you can call his mother.

I can't thank you enough for helping me make this right.

Everyone deserves a second chance, Mr. West.

How you doing?

Good. Then bad. Then good again.

I had to pull the offer, Em.

Did you give him a reason?

I said the GOP was playing hardball.

We didn't have the votes. He was disappointed.

It was your call.

Yeah, and I'm not sure it was the right one.

These two cases are ambiguous.

But I... I saw Steven Flannery today.

On the make, as usual. And I just...

It made me wonder if, that time in Boise, I was coerced.

Were you?

At the time, I didn't think so.

Now, I'm not so sure.

His approval meant so much to me.

It still does.

And I think he knows that. And he uses it.

And that is manipulative and wrong.

But he's also done so much good, you know?

You're wondering if that cancels out...

My suspicions of a guy who may just be a flirt.

Sometimes all you have is your gut.

Good night, Kendra.

Mr. President.

Thank you, Mike.

Dax. Thank you for coming. Have a seat.

Of course.

Did you speak to Agent Hannah Wells about Dr. Frost?

Yes. I... She asked for my help.

She's a tenacious investigator, and insists that Dr. Frost was responsible

for the cyberattacks that have crippled my administration.

I know. She told me.

She's wrong.

During my 25th Amendment hearing,

Dr. Frost was questioned about a conversation,

a private conversation, that we had in this office.

Agent Wells thought she leaked that conversation to West

in an effort to undermine me

because that's what the hacker would've done.

You never know what people are capable of.

Exactly. So I had the Secret Service sweep my office for bugs.

And they found one thing.

Zero to 60 in three flat. Carbon neutral, 400 miles to a charge.

Rolling off the assembly lines this spring.

This.

Inside the car you gave me.

Needless to say, I was speechless.

I couldn't believe that a man, one of my closest friends,

could possibly have hacked the power grid, NASA.

Tom...

Released a video of me confronting the man who killed my wife!

Speechless doesn't even come close to covering this.

Why would you do this to me?

You know the greatest curse facing this country right now?

Government interference. Overregulation.

What the hell are you talking about?

Free enterprise? The promise of America?

A promise that's been strangled by red tape.

A bureaucracy that prevents innovation, stifles progress.

So you attack our institutions. Undermine them.

In hopes while the country's distracted, you'd build your empire without scrutiny?

You make it sound like I'm a Bond villain. I'm not.

Then what are you?

Do you know the good my companies can do if they are left to flourish?

Without anti-trust investigations?

And I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about freedom.

The greatest right we have as Americans is the right to be left alone.

Trust me. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure you're left alone.

Agent Wells. So you're back in the president's good graces.

I was never out. I broke into your house while you were at lunch with Frost.

You staged her firing?

Yes. Because I knew you'd be listening.

And I knew when she talked to you about Dr. Frost, you'd take the bait.

Just like every other coward...

you need someone to blame everything else on.

Get him out of my sight.

You did okay out there.

Thanks. I'm better in here, though.

Yeah. And you're definitely better off not working for someone who got fired.

Because if Hannah was really gone, you'd be, too.

- How long did you know? - From the jump.

I'm Secret Service.

There's nothing that goes on in this building I don't know about.

I'll remember that.

Remember this, too. I got a lot of respect for Hannah.

And I think it's great that you look out for her.

But you gotta look out for yourself as well.

- Hey. - Hey.

Congratulations. You pulled it off.

Yes, we did. Dax Minter has been arrested and is being charged as we speak,

thanks in large part to you.

Are you all right? I know he was your best friend.

Alex was my best friend.

But he and I were close.

For a long time, he was one of those rare people

you didn't have to explain anything to.

Or pull out all the old stories for, because he was there.

Tom, I'm so sorry.

Yeah. Me, too.

I just have to accept that he's not the same person now.

Not the one who was my friend.

I just wish I knew what had turned him.

Anyway, I would never have gotten through these last few months

without your incredible friendship and support.

Thank you. And I'm sorry that you got pulled into all of this.

I'm not.

I made a friend. A good one.

One that I'm going to miss. Tom, um...

I'm moving to San Francisco.

San Francisco? Why?

Apache's acquiring another aerospace company.

It's a big play for us. I need to be there for the transition.

And close to the cabernet.

Makes sense on both counts.

Tom, listen, I wanna say something because...

I think we share a connection.

You lost your wife, I lost my husband.

And they will always hold a place in our hearts.

Yes, they will.

But I think part of getting through this...

is making room in your heart for someone else.

And I wish that for you someday.

I wish that for you, too.

Bye, Tom.

I prefer "Till I see you again."

Till I see you again.

Yeah. Come here.

You go get 'em out there, Andrea.

Hey.

I found something on Minter's drive.

A large payment right after Damian was killed

to a company called Smith & Johnson Holdings.

The killer-for-hire didn't even try to make it sound legit.

Is there a name?

No. Just a business address. 2500 D Street Northwest. It's in DC.

- I know that address. - Who's it belong to?

No one. That's the point. It's an old, empty office building.

Dummy corps pay to register their addresses there

so they can stay off the grid.

If there's a payment, there's gotta be a money trail.

The person who made the payment would wanna cover their tracks.

So they went there and paid in cash.

That's my guess.

Can you get into their security system?

- Already on it. - Good.

Look for the, um... the day the company was registered.

That's when the payment would've been made.

Got it.

Wait. Stop it there.

Valeria Poriskova?

Wait. How the hell did Dax Minter link up with Valeria?

Minter knew that I was on the hacking investigation.

He tried to get rid of me and make it look like Frost did it.

Who better to hire than a Russian agent you've been clashing with

who wants you dead?

Except Valeria missed me and killed Damian.

What you're looking for isn't in there.

You know where you can take your self-help advice.

Hannah, I can't let you hunt down Valeria.

Dax Minter is behind bars. The hacking is done.

We're repairing relations with Russia. It's over.

Not for me, it isn't.

There are things that I have to do, Aaron.

That I cannot do working for the White House.

I mean, think. You lay those down, you may not get 'em back.

Bye, Aaron.
