What time was I here?

Dinnertime, around 7:00.

We had frozen pizza.
Celentano's.

-Pepperoni. I kind of burnt it.
-And then?

We watched tv.
St. Elsewhere. A rerun.

It was about a rapist
in the hospital.

-And you fell asleep
on the sofa.
-Okay, good.

Good, and-and what time
was that?

It was 11:30 or so.
You slept here all night.

Woke up around 8:00

What garbage trucks?

There were garbage trucks

Cops gonna be asking questions,

So I think it's best

-Lay low where?
-Rob's.

-He's got plenty room,
it's far away from here.

Cops want to come at us,

it ain't gonna matter

meet stephen havemeyer.

Mr. Havemeyer handles special
compartmentalized issues

for the director of the cia,

and he'll be able to facilitate
any requests you might have

while you're working
with the agency.

Really? (chuckles)

I would love
a diplomatic passport.

Teddy:
Of course. You got it.
We'll take care of it.

Thank you for being

-You got played.

Julia did not come here to take
the operation away from me.

She came here to blow it up.

And I can tell from the look on
your face that you had no idea.

So I'm gonna make this
extremely simple for you.

At this point,
you have two options.

The first one is
you call the director yourself

and let him know how you allowed
one of your own agents

to destroy this operation
and stop the flow of

tens of millions of dollars
to the war effort.

Or?

You trust that I know
what the fuck I'm doing

and you use your considerable
influence to fix

what you unwittingly
allowed julia

to fuck up in the first place.

set up a meeting.

to explain this to you.
