All language subtitles for The Equalizer 2021 S02E02

Previously on The Equalizer...

I saw something.

The money, the guns...

Who are you?

Word on the Altnet

is that you are
a real-life hero.

Your legend is growing.

This is Melody,
one of my oldest friends.

Why do I have a feeling

this is not a social call?

I need those freaky-ass
superpowers of yours.

Since they don't play
by the rules, neither can I.

How can I ever trust him again?
Bishop probably hates
that you're mad at him.

Use that to leverage him.

You're not planning
on shooting me, are you?

Depends on
how this meeting goes.

Thank you for not taking a shot
back in the subway.

Maybe the world does need you.

♪

You all packed
for your geology trip

this weekend?

Yep. I'm all ready.

I still find it astonishing
that you want to spend

your entire weekend looking
at rocks.

You know caves
don't have Wi-Fi, right?

I'm evolving.

Uh-huh.
Hey.

Hey, baby.
Good morning.

Hey.
Thank you.

You know
we're gonna miss you

this weekend for the Costco run.

Could use

those sharp little elbows
for the crowds.

You know, something tells me
you can handle yourself.

Is that work?

It is.

You know, I'm going to try
a new Pilates studio today.

Really?

So everyone is just...
having a normal day.

Dee, I know this is weird...

Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah.

Am I just supposed
to make small talk

and eat my bagel like
you're not gonna spend your day

going Jessica Jones on bad guys?

No.

You're supposed to offer me
the other half of that bagel.

It's all yours.

Doesn't that seem
strange to you?

That girl goes out
to get the mail,

and she calls it a hike--
now all of a sudden,

she wants to spend her weekend
exploring a cave.

Until the dust settles in
this house, I can't see a thing.

The Prophet teaches us

that kindness is
an act of faith.

As a diplomat and father
living abroad,

it's important
that we have a place

to celebrate our culture.

Saudi Arabia
is modernizing,

and I'd like
to commend my wife,

Misa,

and my daughter,

Mira, for
helping bring

this cultural center to life.

Bismillah!

♪

I don't have much time.

I was followed,
he's outside.

Just calm down,
take a deep breath.

Tell me what's wrong.

My little brother, Ali,

we were supposed to meet
a couple days ago,

but he never showed.

It's like he just vanished.

I've called all the places
he goes-- his university,

Soho House-- nothing.

He's never gone a day
without texting me.

Did you go to the police?

I can't.
My parents are refusing.

Won't even discuss it with me.

But they know something.

You think he's in danger?

I know he is.

Ever since Ali
disappeared,

Saudi men have been coming
into the house,

pulling my parents
behind closed doors.

My mother is scared.
I can see it.

And there are eyes on me
all the time.

My computer. My phone.

I even had to borrow
my friend's cell

just to send you a message.
Mira,

what do you think might be
going on with your brother?

Uh, there were fights at home,
him and my parents.

They were trying to get him
into an arranged marriage

back in Saudi Arabia,

but this is bigger.

Something is very wrong.

You have to find my brother.

Help him.

I will do everything
in my power.

In the meantime,

there are no
eyes on this.

Take it.

You go. I'll keep
in touch with you.

You want to take on the Saudis?

The guys with
all the weapons,

all the money

and the diplomatic
immunity.

Those are the guys
you want to piss off?

Do you know what Mira risked
to come to me?

Not only is she living
under an oppressive regime,

but her father is

a senior diplomat
who works for it.

Stepping out of line like that
would have...

major consequences.

I mean,
she must have been terrified.

Whatever trouble
her brother is in,

she needs someone by her side.
Well, I mean,

something's definitely up--
Ali cleaned out his bank account

a few days ago; his phone's
been inactive just as long.

But, I mean, nothing
about this guy spells trouble.

Nothing to indicate why he
would suddenly go missing,

or why the Saudis would be
so worked up over it.

He's working on his post-grad
degree in psychology.

He loves crossword puzzles.
He's obsessed

with the Saudi
national football team.

I mean, the kid's adorable.

We need to know more about Ali.

What he's into.

His apartment
might give us both.

What, weapons and immunity?
You're not going alone.

Hey, Dante,

you got a minute?
Detective Mallory.
What can I do for you?

D.A.'s put me
on this vigilante case.

I know you had
a few run-ins with her.

I wanted to ask you
some questions.

I gave the D.A.
everything I know.

Yeah, I read the report.

Former
military intelligence,

moral compass, highly skilled.

Thinks she's a do-gooder.

Cop to cop,
what'd you leave out?

Think I'm keeping secrets?

I'm just looking for some color.

She's clever,
uses sophisticated tactics.

It won't be easy.

Easy's no fun.

I like the cat-and-mouse.

Long as you're the cat.

Don't underestimate her.

Oh, I'm not you.

If she's in my crosshairs,
I won't hesitate to shoot.

Still all clear.
No Saudi activity.

Copy.

Approaching now.

Okay, I'm in.

Somebody definitely beat me
to it.

Tossed?

Yeah.
Someone came looking for Ali.

Or something he had.

Judging by the looks of it,
they're motivated.

Mel? Mel?

Mel?

Spotter.

Bishop!

What are you doing here?

There's ten Saudis
around that corner. Get in.

How'd you know?

'Cause I'm working
with them. Let's go!

♪

Sorry, I didn't have time
to win you over.
Sure. Best way

to do that is to bind
a girl's wrists

and throw her
in the back of your car.

It's hard to watch McCall's six
when you're dead.

What, you didn't think
I knew she had people?

I trained her.

Ali Shah.
Why are the Saudis after him?

And why shoot at me for
being in his apartment?

I don't know,
but I'm assuming it's big,

because they called
me to find him.

So you work for the Saudis now?
Yeah.

Helps me keep an eye
on them for the CIA.

And right now the
CIA wants to know

why the Saudis have called out
their big guns.

Who are their big guns?

You know that crew
up in his apartment?

Yeah.
They're led

by Shakir Khan.

Senior intelligence.

Key enforcer for the regime.

He's the guy they call when
they want someone disappeared.

Is that a nice way
of saying dead?

Exactly.

Look, whatever's
going on,

the CIA doesn't want this
spilling out into the streets.

I'm here because they don't...

They can't afford
to be involved.

And you gotta keep
the oil flowing.

Can't go to bed mad
on the Kingdom, can ya?

Drop it. We don't know
what this kid's done.

And you know the Saudis--
they're ruthless,

they're resourced and they're
way ahead of all of us.

Thanks for the lift.

And thanks for the pep talk.

'Cause you know that woman loves
a challenge, right?

You might as well have given her
a Red Bull and a high five.

Noted.

So, this guy Ali

has drawn the ire
of not one but two of

the most powerful intelligence
agencies in the world.

What the hell did he do?
We need to find Ali first,

if he has any chance
of surviving.

I might be able to help
with that.

I got a bead on Ali's car.

His financials have him parking
at a parking garage

near the Soho House around
the time that he vanished.

So I called the garage.

Car's still there.

Might be
the last place he went.

His sister implied he spends
a lot of time at that club.

I'm on it.

Mira thinks
her parents know something.

If Saudi intelligence
is hunting Ali,

the first thing they would do
is pressure his father, Basam.

We need to get
into his email server.

Which is in the Saudi embassy.

So?

So I'm kind of on a health kick.

You know, eat right,
drink lots of water,

avoid anyone with a state-
sanctioned license to kill.

And I promise you,
that place is

firewalled every way possible.

Maybe to us,
but not to everyone.

Are you okay?

You seem jumpy.

No. I just
didn't eat enough today.

I'm gonna go find something.

What does Saudi intelligence

want with my brother?
What did he do?

We don't know yet.

But I think your parents do.

We have a way for you
to help us find out

what they know about Ali.
I'll do anything.

What do you need?

Mira's in.
She just needs

a few minutes to set up.

Great. I'm ready when she is.

So, I got some intel

from a friend who works
at the Soho House.

It turns out Ali
hasn't been inside in months.

That's weird, 'cause
his credit card has him parking

at the valet
on the regular.He lied to his sister.

He wasn't going
to the Soho House.

He was going somewhere else.

Harry, pull up a map
of that neighborhood.

Mm-hmm.

It's the Meatpacking
District.

Nightclubs, gambling dens,
kinky hotels, lots of places

a 20-year-old would
want to go on the low.

Hookah lounge.

He had a tip
and a hose

in his apartment,
but no pipe.

Right. So he's smoking
someplace else.

Yeah, but why would he want
to keep that a secret?

Only one way to find out.

Mira. What's going on?

Hey, Baba.
Do you have a minute?

I just need you to look
at the press release

for the cultural center.

I'll look at it tonight.

I really need
to get it out today.

Fine. Where is it?

Um, my cloud account.
I sent you the link.

Sweet. I'm in.

You sure this
won't blow back on Mira?

A hundred percent. She's
not opening the door for us.

Basam's system is.

Computers drop
crucial security protocols

in order to access shared data
in the cloud.

How long?
Three minutes to download data

from Basam's email server.

Go, go,

go, go, go, go.

You have a typo

in the beginning
of the second paragraph.

Okay, got it.

And what else?

Nothing.

It's good.

It's good? No other thoughts?

What, you're asking me
to find problems?

Not enough time. She's got
to stall, she's got to stall.

When have you
ever had trouble doing that?

I have to go.

I'll see you at home.

Oh, wait.

Mira, what's going on?

Okay.

The thing is, this isn't
really about the press release.

She's panicking.
She's panicking.
No. No.

Just trust her.

It's about Ali.

Baba,
I am scared.

I know you know something.

Why can't you just tell me?

I do trust you.

I just wish you trusted me.

Got it!

I do trust you,

but these things
are complicated.

Whew.

It's not something
I can talk about,

but I'll see you at home.

Great place.
Lots of character.

Thanks. Yeah,
you want to eat, drink or smoke?

All the above.

Actually, I just
wanted to know why...

this guy was here.

Why? Who's he?

You don't recognize him?

You got to step your game up.

You're the owner, right?

Reza Shaheen?

You're supposed to
know your customers.

Especially the ones who come in
all the time.

Wait, what's happening here?

What, your gears turning
a little slow, Cheech?

Look, you tell me
what I want to know,

or you can tell some real cops

why you are serving
underage girls

from Santi Padre High School.

Just level
with me, Reza.

This guy, he's missing.

He might be
in trouble,

and I'm just trying to help him.

Missing? Hold up.

I don't know anything
about that.

I was just trying not to
blow up his spot about the girl.

What girl?

White girl. American.

That's why he was coming here.
To hang with her.

I know he's the son
of some important guy

at the embassy, so I thought
they were keeping it quiet

because his parents
wouldn't be cool.

But, you know, I swear I have
no idea why he'd be missing

or where he is.

So, Ali was resisting

an arranged marriage
while secretly meeting up

with a girl his parents
didn't approve of.

It's a real-life
Romeo and Juliet.

Yeah, but the Saudis
wouldn't send their dogs

after Ali just because he was
hooking up with a white girl.

Well, that doesn't mean
Juliet's not involved somehow.

Maybe they got
into something together.

I think I know what.

I've been going
through Basam's emails.

Rob.

They think Ali's a Bee.

What's a Bee?

Two years ago, Saudi Arabia
formed an army of "Flies"

to push Saudi propaganda
on social media.

So Saudi dissidents,

or "Bees,"
waged war with them online.

The last time the
Flies caught a Bee,

they tortured him,
killed him

and carved him up
with a bone saw.

It gets worse.

They're on to Ali

because the Flies raided
a known Bee hangout in the city.

When they came up empty,
they were pissed.

They suspected somebody
tipped them off.

Ali?
As a senior diplomat,

Ali's father was informed
of the raid beforehand,

and shortly after,
the leader of the Bees,

whom the Saudis refer to
as "Dissident X,"

sent out a message
warning the Bees

it was gonna happen.

So they think
Ali somehow overheard

his father being briefed
about the raid

and put the word out?
They think Ali is Dissident X.

which means if they catch him
he could be the next Khashoggi.

It's only a matter
of time.

Thanks to Defeat Geo,
the Saudis found out

that there's a Bee
safe house in the city.

They think Ali's there, but, uh,

they just don't have
a location yet.

What's Defeat Geo?

Defeat Geo is
a proprietary spy software

which infiltrates mobile devices
and grants unlimited access.

Now, on the occasion that
I help people on the dark web

fight illegal surveillance,
Defeat Geo comes up a lot.

Any chance you'd
ever done work for a Bee?

Oh, I know I have.

There was this one guy,
Zaki Mohammed.

He had to flee Saudi Arabia
because of his tweets.

Now, I had to do
Internet security for him

because the Saudis
will literally never

stop hunting this guy down.

Wait, so then he would know
where the safe house is.

He's how we get to Ali.
No, we're not doing that.

Why?You're saying you
can't track down Zaki?

Of course I can. In a heartbeat.
I did his security.

But it would be a huge
betrayal of his trust.

Guys like us live or
die by our anonymity.

Disrespecting that would be a--
would be a huge violation.

Come on, Harry, you
already saved the guy's life.

Maybe you could do
the same thing for Ali.

Oh... Oh, man.

Well, I can't
reach out to him online.

You know, he'll-he'll--

he'll get spooked,
he'll go dark.

I mean, I'd have
to go in person.
I'm coming with you.

No, no, I gotta
go alone. I mean,

these guys know to
look out for spotters.

Rob's right.

Ali and I are both running.

The difference is
I get caught, I go to jail.

Ali gets caught,

he gets murdered.

Zaki.

Do I know you?

Yes. I patched your security.

I'm deadtrain.

Wait, no. Just-- whoa, whoa.
I need to talk to you.

I would not have come here
if it wasn't a matter

of life or death, I swear.

But one of your friends
is in serious trouble.

Follow me.

I'm sorry, man.
I know it's not cool,

me just popping up like...

Zaki, just listen to me...

Who sent you?

Nobody. Okay?

I'm trying to save
a Bee-- Ali Shah.

He's in a safe house,
but he's not safe.

There is no safe house.
Whoever sent you has bad intel.

I'm alone.
I'm on your side.

Do you know why
I did your security?

Because I know what it's like.

I'm dead. Okay? I worked
for the government.

Cyber warfare.
And I found evidence.

Bad stuff, dude.
Unforgivable crimes

our military was committing.

So I leaked it.

You know, I thought I was
doing the right thing,

holding my government
accountable.

but they came after me,

and they made me leave
everything I knew.

My family, my life, everything.

That's why I wanted
to help you.

That's why I want to help Ali.

You don't know what it's like.

I didn't just leave
my family behind.

The Saudis dragged them
to jail after I fled.

Tortured my best friend.

Forced her to call and tell me
what they're doing to her,

what they'll keep doing to her

if I keep speaking out.

These people
would burn the city

to the ground to get to me.

Who's to say
they're not using you?

Because they'd have
to find me first.

If you think that little
ten-minute patch

I did for you is good,

can you imagine
how secure my own life is?

Thank you.

I don't know Ali Shah.

Most Bees don't know each other.
It's safer that way.

But I can get
the location of the safe house.

Great job, Harry.

I'm about ten minutes
from the safe house.

I'll call you after.
Great.

What's up, Auntie?

I was dropping off laundry

in Dee's room when I saw
what she packed

for her geology trip.

Now, I don't know what
you wear in a cave,

but I know it's not strappy,
so I dug a bit.

I found a fake ID and
the printout ticket

to a Megan Thee Stallion concert
in Philly.

What?

Okay, a hip-hop concert,

two nights, 100 miles away?

I could strangle that girl.
She is really testing me.

I think it's time
for another family meeting.

And tell her what,
that I went through her bag?

She's just gonna turn around

and go right back
to her father's.

This is the fallout

for telling her what I do.

No, she bought
the ticket months ago.

Well, regardless, she's
going through with it today.

It didn't even bother her
that she lied

to our faces this morning.

Because as far as
she's concerned,

I've been lying to her
her whole life.

I'm gonna have to think
about this,

but I can't think
about it now.

There's someone else
I have to save.

Hey, McCall.

Marcus.
Question for you.

Close the case yet?
Day's still young.

Times you crossed with her,
Was there any connection

you could draw
between the vigilante

and the Saudi embassy?

I don't think so. Why?

Because there is now.

Embassy got in
touch with NYPD

through the State Department.

Somebody matching
the vigilante's description

interfered in their business.

What kind of business?

Something about
a diplomat's kid.

They asked if she was ours.

Looks like they might
do my job for me.

I'm going to go
meet with them now.

See if I can get any intel
on what she's a part of.

Who's that?

One of Shakir's men.

Looks like Ali was as dangerous

as the Saudis were
making him out to be.

Except this was self-defense.

The assailant was armed.

The door's busted in,
so clearly he didn't knock.

And judging by those two holes
in the wall,

he came in shooting.Yeah.

And Ali returned fire
and killed him.

You forgetting about that?
You don't know, do you?

They're not after him because
he's violent or dangerous.

They're after him because
he's a dissident

exercising free speech.

And this guy here....

Well, I'm sure he was
here to drag him to his death.

Well, I sympathize
with Ali. I do.

But he's a Saudi national,

and he just killed
a Saudi enforcer.

As far as the U.S. is concerned,

it's an internal Saudi affair.

The United States is
not going to risk

their relationship with
the Kingdom over this.

So Ali is going to be tortured
and executed because of a tweet.

Just so some guys
in a nice office

can shake hands and
have no hard feelings?

Those handshakes keep us off
the precipice

of World War III.

Our economy, our diplomacy,
our national security--

I cannot risk that
by interfering,

and you know it.All the effort,

all the money, all the pain.

Just to stop a kid
from speaking his mind?

Just because
they haven't realized yet

that fear doesn't breed loyalty,
trust does.

Look, if you want
change for tomorrow,

you gotta make
hard choices today.

This is not a hard choice
at all.

Go home, Robyn.

If you wanted to stay
in the game,

you never should have left it.

Ali must have been
using that safe house

to plan his next move.

The apartment had Wi-Fi,

so he must have
been communicating with someone.

Okay, I'll pull all DNS queries
from the last few hours.

Hurry up. If you can do it,
so can the Saudis.

Detective Dante.

Tangling with the Saudis now?

Wow, word travels fast.

All the way to NYPD.

Whatever you're into,
they know you're involved.

They?

There's a new cop on you.

Solid track record
with big fish.

He's not going to stand down.

He knows you're on this,
and he's coming for you.

I'd watch your back.

Thanks for the intel, Detective.

Word opponents?

Data from the safe house
Wi-Fi says

that this was the site
Ali was on.

So this guy is on the run
from Saudi intelligence,

and he's playing Internet games?
Well, maybe not.

People hooking up sometimes
use this app for affairs

because there's a chat feature

and the messages delete
every time you start a new game.

I've heard.

So he could be using it
to send covert messages.

Well, he left the
apartment in a hurry.

Maybe the game still active.
We just need his user name.

Maybe it's something
the Saudis might not have.

Give me a second.

So this whole, uh, Word
Opponents affair scenario,

you're familiar with that from
personal experience or...

Hey, please. I'm married
to a hacker, okay?

I'd be way more careful
than that.

Mm-hmm. Very good.

Okay, Mira said she and Ali
would play sometimes.

His user name is
lower case ah29.

Okay, I'm in.

And look at this.

Not only is the game active,
Ali just logged on.

Wait, he's talking
to somebody right now?

As we speak.
The mystery player

is Whisper99.

Look what they're
saying to him.

"I love you.
We'll get through this.

"I'll take you somewhere

the Flies can't find us."

It's Ali's Juliet, the girl
from the hookah bar.

Looks like they're
running away together.

Yeah, they're meeting
in a parking lot

in Crown Heights in
half an hour.

Yeah, and if the Saudis
get onto this,

he's walking right into
an ambush.

Reza?
Mira sent me.

To help Ali.

That Romeo and Juliet story
you told me.

That wasn't a lie, was it?

But it wasn't
the whole truth, either.

We tried keeping
it from his parents.

But when he started resisting
the arranged marriage...

They found out
he had a boyfriend.

And in our culture...

This is all my fault.

Ali is a loyal Saudi,
but when he heard

about the raid, he told me.

He saved my life.
And now they think he's a Bee.

So he's not a dissident?

No. He just fell in love
with one.

Ali, thank God.
Where are you?

I'm not coming.
They cornered me.

I'm trapped.

Ali, talk to me.
What's going on?

Where is he? Get a location.

Where are you, Ali? You have to
find somewhere to hide.

Anywhere.
You remember when we met, Ray?

Ali, please...You called me "kid"

and I pretended to be all mad.

And I turned to you
and I said, "I'm not a kid.

I'm 22 and a half."
"I'm 22 and a half."

And you laughed just like that.

I think I fell in love with you
right then

'cause it was such
a beautiful sound.

I just wanted to hear it
one more time.

Ali, please...

I love y...

I have to save him.
Reza, listen to me.

You have to let me help.

You can't save him yourself
if they already have him.

I have to, and I know how.

Reza.

Baba.

I had to call on a lifetime
of goodwill with the Kingdom

to be here.

Tell me you're not
who they say you are.

Who do you think I am?

It was him who got
you into this, wasn't it?

The man who poisoned you.

I wasn't poisoned by him.

We fell for each other.

And the Kingdom
that I love--

it would have me kill that
part of myself forever.

They're going to hurt you.

They're going to torture you
and execute you.

You are no dissident.
You were simply misled by one.

And you need to give
him up to save yourself.

If you do...

...I can get you home.

But if you don't, I-I

can't stop
what's about to happen.

My name is Reza Shaheen.
By now you may have heard

Saudi intelligence
has captured your son.

Mom, is that true?

They think Ali is a
dissident, but he's not.

And I want them to take me
in exchange for his life.

Why? Who are you?

The man Ali is protecting.

He has never defied
the Kingdom except to save me.

But he will never
give up my name.

not even under the pain
of torture.

Because you're the one
he's in love with?

I came here and not
the embassy because

if you turn me in, it can
buy your family goodwill.

And what makes you think
they will exchange Ali for you?

Because I'm Dissident X.

I'll admit to that,
and tell them

I forced Ali to help me.

But they'll kill you.

I'll die knowing
your brother will live.

I'm calling the embassy.

Please don't.

There's another way
to save your son.

Who are you?

I'm someone who specializes

in these situations.

I can end this
and make sure that

both young men
come out of it alive.

This is not your business,

and nobody here
asked for your help.

I did.

When you wouldn't talk to me,
I asked her to find out

what was going on with Ali,
to save him.

You bring a stranger
into our affairs?

You disrespect your father.

I have been the dutiful daughter
my whole life,

but if you won't help Ali,
then someone has to try.

What are you talking about?

We're trying to help
your brother.

Mira, let her.

This is not what he wants.

This is the man he loves.

He's trying to protect him.

If you turn Reza in
to be murdered,

you'll be saving Ali,
but you'll be losing a son.

Kindness is a mark of faith.

One hour.

Just give me one hour.

Please...
give them his name.

This man--

he's going
to get you killed, Ali.

And you work for the government
that'll do it.

It's time.

Baba?
Ali, please.

Ali, please, just
give them his name.

His name.

Baba...

Baba, don't let
them do this.

Baba?Please.

Don't let them do this, please.

Baba.

Baba!

McCall, what's up?
Don't talk, just listen.

Well, that's a great way
to start a conversation.

You must know where
they're holding an Ali.

Now, what if I were to tell you
that we could save him

and you could end up in
a better position

with the Kingdom
than you are now?

I'd tell you to get
more sleep.

Ali doesn't have that much time.

And the NYPD is back on my tail.

So I need to know if you're
coming off the sidelines now.

Got something?

Location of the vigilante.
Saudis just called it in.

Mind if I ride along?
Sorry.

Don't want anything
between me

and putting her in cuffs.

Are you tired, Ali?

Tired of lying?

Tired of fighting?

This can end.

Just give me the names.

No.

Speak!

Aah! No! No!

This is your last chance.

Please, no, no.

Speak!

Shakir.

What are you doing here?
Trying to save your ass.

There's been a leak.
The CIA is onto you.

This is not your concern.

I'm on retainer with you.

Your concerns
are my concerns

Interrogating him here
could cause problems for you.

What do you suggest?

We're gonna take him
out of here.

Now, I have a place.
I'll take Ali,

you're gonna meet us there.

I'm going with the prisoner.

You're very heavy
on the radar right now.

If you get detained,
every news outlet

leads with this story
in the morning.

It's Khashoggi all over again.

Cultural firestorm.
Billions lost in sanctions.

Partnerships.
Relationships.

I don't think that's a good
idea for you or your country.

I'm not letting this traitor
out of my sight.

Move, move!

Go, go, go!
Hands! Show me your hands!

NYPD.

Where is she?

Let's go.

Congratulations, Detective.
Quite a bust.

Heard you saved the kid.

Except no one's gonna
know about it.

Whole thing's with
the State Department now.

You knew, didn't you,

that she wouldn't be there?

That's why you wanted to come--
to see the look on my face.

She's never seen
unless she wants to be.

Tip like that is a clear setup

for the part she can't do.

The part where
people have to get arrested.

Well, I can play games, too.

This was round one.

I'm just getting started.

Ali!

You saved me.

After some high-level
diplomatic discussions,

Saudi intelligence has agreed

that they will never
go after Ali again.

He's safe, he's free.

But... he can never

return to Saudi Arabia again.

Good news is you won't be alone.

Hey, kid.
Oh...

Oh, I can't believe my
parents didn't turn you in.

I owe them my life.

This was their last act of love.

A Saudi diplomat like him
cannot have a son like me.

They're sending us back.

So this is goodbye for me, too.

I'm forbidden from
ever seeing you again.

Change is coming.

Maybe someday.

There are a million
other bars

in the city, you know.

Hmm. What are the odds?

Maybe we should
become drinking buddies.

Hmm. Let's not, though.

I don't love my worlds colliding.
Yeah, well,

I'm not the one who
keeps showing up unannounced.

I don't think she likes me.

You have that effect on women.

By the way, that was
some fancy dancing you did

with the State Department.

Well, it ain't the
Iran nuclear deal, but

the Saudis won't go after Ali.
However, we're gonna have to

sweep that abduction and torture
under the rug. You know that.

It avoids a major
diplomatic incident

for everyone, so...

But the good news
is the CIA

loves the fact that the
Saudis owe me a favor

for cleaning up their mess.

You want to front like
that's why you did it,

when the truth is
you have never been able

to resist a good love story.

Oh.
Mm-hmm.

Well, they usually end better.

Hey, Ali may be free,

but that immunity deal
doesn't cover Reza.

He starts up that
Dissident X stuff,

and they're gonna
come after him again.

I promise you.

Maybe he lied to save Ali.

Maybe Dissident X
is not even a person at all.

See, that's what oppressors
have never understood, Bish.

You can't kill an idea.

And I'm gonna make
sure to tell 'em that.

This is a nice place
you got here.

Your secret is
safe with me.

He didn't pay for that,
you know.

Come down for a drink?

No. I have an even bigger crisis
waiting for me at home.

I'll see you.
Okay.

Hey.

Are you cheating on me?

Oh, man, I'm so sorry
you had to find out this way.

Well, what's Zaki
have that I don't?

Well, it turns out
that nearly getting shot

in an alley is a real turn-on
for me, so...

Huh. I'll keep that in mind.

Can I fin...Yeah, you can finish.

Have you lost your mind?
Are you really gonna

let her go to this concert?

No.

But I don't want
to confront her.

I think she might come clean.

I just want to
give her a chance.

She's had months to do
that, Robyn, and she hasn't.

And where the two of you are
right now...

There was no trust in
the house of the person

I was helping today,
and it nearly cost him his life.

What this house needs is trust.

So... I'm gonna give her mine.

Maybe she'll do the same.

Here she comes,
our little spelunker.

You all set?

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay?
Excited?

Yeah, I guess.

It's really
not that big of a deal.

What are you talking about?
It's a huge deal.

You're trying
something new.

Come on, co... come here,

give me a hug.
I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay, well, I'll see you.

Wait.

Just in case.

I'll call you when I get there.

Okay.
Love you, babe.

Love you.

Bye.

Just wanted to know
where I stood.

I know you wanted her
to take a step towards you,

and she will,
at her own pace.

Just... give it time.

Now go save that child
from herself.

You going somewhere?

Uh, hey. Yeah.

Aunt Vi and I were about

to... go get

some frozen yogurt.

Did you forget
something?

No, no.

No, um...

I need to tell you
something.

Fro-yo sounds good.

Yeah, okay.

Don't forget to get
your 50 bucks back.
