Iran's program is dormant now,

and this guy wants to keep it that way. This guy does not.

We're gonna try to buy this election.

We've got the guy to do that, we just need you

to get him the money, and then come and go from Iran

in the fall to make sure that it gets to where we need it.

How?

McMillan is an oil infrastructure engineering firm.

This project's gonna play out

in two places: Iran and Luxembourg.

McMillan comes and goes both places.

All you got to do is bring a bag of money from "A" to "B," John.

It's never easy like that.

Any time you're ready, there, Lakeman.

I'm gonna have to check this bag.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Our guy? The bag? Gone.

He never landed in Iran.

He doesn't seem to have left Luxembourg.

I authorized the illegal use of American money

to influence a foreign election,

then I gave the money to the bad guy,

and he's gonna use that money

to put Iran back on the path to active.

Their weapons program.

The physicist's wife, she's going to get the money.

He doesn't have the bag.

Bag got away from him.

How? He had one transfer, "A" to "B."

I've been told that before, on occasion.

At this point, we had a strong expectation

that we would recover the bag.

The only real impediment to recovery and reestablishing

the plan was the guy with the girl's name.

Let's come together,

then let's head off to Luxembourg a fortified unit,

and get this goddamn Denon deal done.

Except for Lakeman, who's simply not going.

Ah! Jesus.

You shot me in the fucking face!

- What is this? - Morphine, for the pain.

It feels like flying on a magic carpet.

What are you worried about, hon?

He's not okay.

Are you getting the recommended

eight hours of sleep, John?

- No. - What are you getting?

Much less.

Like, how many hours?

Like, no hours.

The girl gets out in 25 minutes,

with the bag.

Excuse me.

That's my bag.

Where's the... the money?

I left it back there.

In the police building.

Next to the lion.

Yeah, what? The police station.

Now, Dennis, go now.

Cause a distraction.

If you let me board, you can leave, here,

these things you've been doing that make you sad, John.

Whatever is burdening you.

And go wherever else you'd like.

And nothing that you did here will follow.

Hello.

Something's happened, John. Your brother,

he's been taken, they want the bag.

Bring it in.

I need 18 rolls of dimes.

Dimes?

Dimes, yeah.

What's a dime?

A coin.

Specifically?

Specifically, ten cents.

A ten cent coin, ma'am.

Dimes.

These are heavier.

Than what?

Than American dimes.

They're not American dimes.

They're centimes.

They're European coins worth ten cents.

Because... you're in Europe.

Fuck.

Dad, they want... they want the money.

The money John got today.

Hello?

Whack a lady on the head?

With a sock full of dimes?

What?

Yeah, that was the plan.

In the event that this lady got the bag.

I was what you'd call a fail-safe,

if this lady got the bag.

Then the plan changed.

In what sense?

In the sense that a different lady got the bag.

Can you back up a little?

Well, he came to me for help.

In Luxembourg?

In Milwaukee.

The night before they departed for Luxembourg,

he came to my house.

And asked for help?

Yeah.

Why you?

I don't know the answer to that.

What did you tell him?

I told him I didn't think I could be of much help to him,

in, um... the state I was in then.

And his response?

He asked if I was better than nothing.

Which I guess was what he had, in terms of help.

And your response to that?

I thought about it for a while.

About whether you were better than nothing?

Yeah.

Then I asked him if I could take a walk around the block

and think about it,

because I just couldn't say in those moments.

And your conclusion?

Well, on my walk,

I stopped wondering about that in particular.

And I started thinking about something else in particular.

Which was?

Which was how the kid just really looked

like he needed help, I guess.

What, man?

I don't know, John. These dimes I got

this afternoon, they're not like American dimes, man.

What're you talking about?

American dimes are the smallest of all our coins.

Yet, they have greater value. They make sense here,

- I didn't know that. - Jack, get the money.

They're bigger than pennies and nickels,

so they're heavier, man.

I don't know what I'm holding here.

I've never hit anyone in the head

with European dimes, man.

I don't want to kill anyone. And fucking lay off, John.

You told me I'd be following some broad in a hijab,

not a homicide detective. I never even made detective.

Hit her less hard than you usually hit people.

Yeah, but how much?

I don't want to do it too light, man.

Then she's just standing there, looking back at me,

uh, says "ow," then arrests me.

I haven't... done a... dry run with these.

I worked up a nice touch over the years with American dimes.

I just wish I was back home, John, that's all.

And I think the lady knows I'm an American.

I'm bigger than everything here.

Yeah, well, fuck, Birdbath.

Maybe do something besides making wishes.

That's not gonna help me. Fucking get with it, man.

'Cause I'm gonna have to do something

if you don't do something.

Hello?

You received a call late yesterday

from Detective Agathe Albans?

- I did, yes. - Concerning?

Concerning the mysterious young asshole,

John Lakeman.

Hmm...

I would just like to know

who you really are, you know?

Only child.

Oh, well, okay. Okay.

- I have two boys. - Nice.

My son is not who you think he is, Leslie.

He's a good boy.

Maybe you could give the kid a break,

from one old tugboater to another.

Nope.

Paris?

Yeah.

- Wh... - Mama?

- Who's that? - Eric, my son.

- Son? - You woke him up, too.

Man, oh, man. Wow, pal.

Yeah. It's 5:00.

You're waking everyone up. Can you call me later?

Well, are... are you sure you don't have a... a minute here?

It won't take long. It's just...

I just need enough time,

Marcus, to, uh...

Well, son, I... I...

I just need enough time to say

I'm sorry, son.

Can I come and see you?

I want to come and see you.

Please, pal?

And the boy and your wife.

Marcus, I'm clean and sober,

and I have been for a long while.

And I run McMillan now, and things are...

almost good.

Things are almost very good.

Except...

I want to come and see you, son.

I'll be in your neighborhood next week.

Okay, Dad.

Oh, great, pal.

I'll give you a call soon,

and... and we'll, uh, we'll set up a timeline.

Okay, Dad.

Thank you, Marcus.

Ah! Jesus.

Fuck.

Lakeman. You shot me in the fucking face!

- Hello? - You should have seen

- what I just did. - Do you have the money?

Not yet, but I was so inconspicuous.

It was cool, man.

Jack, get the money. They're going to the airport.

How the fuck am I gonna do this in an airport?

And I'm gonna have to do something

if I don't hear from you.

Passengers prepare to disembark.

All passengers must disembark at the terminal.

Transfer train arrives in 40 minutes on Platform 3.

Can I get some sweatpants or something?

Shut the fuck up!

Whoa.

I... I don't even know what I'm doing here.

I just came in to file a report.

Right there, my man!

I've been interrogated already.

Not by me.

Well, I don't know anything about that.

Yeah.

He's an industrial engineer.

Urgency and haste were a feature

of every ensuing event, at this stage.

Matters had escalated.

In the calmer instances, before this?

Last stop before Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Mistakes and errors were made

due to decisions.

Say, for two people to intersect who shouldn't.

In this new area,

this heightened phase of greater danger,

due to the urgent need to move around,

these dangerous convergences occurred...

due to shared, limited conditions.

Parallel needs.

If you needed to flee

the greater area of, say, Luxembourg immediately,

well, there are only 40 flights a day to Luxembourg.

There are 1,300 flights a day

in and out of Paris.

So, if you're in jeopardy, and need to flee,

or to reach this greater area, you go to Paris.

Where you will encounter...

you must necessarily encounter others

who are in these same states of jeopardy and haste.

And these intersections,

which you can no longer control

or avoid, create conditions

of exponential danger.

Lakeman's not answering his phone.

McClaren, either.

What's going on here?

Something's going on here.

The talon-hinged hook sluice heralds the dawn

of a bold new age for tensile-threaded quench tempering

across all 13 grades of hex-beveled waste drains

and buckle-valved lock nut ductility.

Well, that's the long and the short of it, folks.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Galvanized United.

Joining us next, John Lakeman,

of Milwaukee's McMillan Industrial Piping.

Hey.

How are you?

Cool.

I'm not John Lakeman.

He's a, um, a no-show.

No show here.

So...

I'm gonna take this one.

Fuck.

We do that, too.

Duckled Nut Stuff.

Only better, and with more cost efficiency.

Probably.

Fuck me.

Did my speech suck? It did, right?

I think so, but I don't understand

the technical side of your business.

Me neither.

So, John Lakeman.

Do you know his whereabouts?

I wish I did.

He was supposed to make that fucking nut speech instead of me.

I know what you do.

I know what your dad tells you to do and I know you do it.

I don't care.

I'll leave, if it makes the thing you're doing harder.

I have a ticket back in three hours.

But I wanted to find you and say I don't care.

I love you.

Just finish, then come home.

We can still do everything we said.

We can go off alone, we can be together, we can have a family.

I love you, John.

Come with me.

We're a family.

What?

We're a family, take her, hold her.

What?

Alice.

Who the fuck are you calling?

Hello? Hello?

Hi, Mom.

John?

Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey.

How are you?

Pretty good.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Alice, you have to cover her mouth.

John...

And stop crying.

It's okay if she does, it's not if you are.

It'll draw attention.

Please stop.

This was the morning, the early morning,

that the Paris Plan, as you've been calling it...

This was the early morning

that you began to form the Paris Plan?

Yes.

...required to meet its security needs.

Iran's leaders should understand

that I do not have a policy of containment.

I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary

to defend the United States and its interests.

For America, for the world.

- Hey, Tom? - Yeah.

Why don't you just stop?

And take responsibility, and let your son go home?

Has that ever occurred to you?

... such talk has only benefited

the Iranian government,

- by driving up the price of oil. - You should...

probably stay with us.

You think I'm gonna let her go?

I think you should just stay with us.

She's waking up.

I'm gonna go sit with her in the car

so she doesn't draw attention.

I think you're a coward.

Stay there, just for a moment.

I know all this seems extraordinary to you.

And it's unusual.

It is unusual, yes.

But it's not extraordinary for me,

to be in these circumstances.

I'm, ordinarily, Alice, subjected to scrutiny,

and suspected of transgressions like these.

That's my job.

It's also my job not to get caught.

And it's imperative I do my job.

I have said that when it comes to preventing Iran

from obtaining a nuclear weapon,

I will take no options off the table, and I mean what I say.

That includes all elements of American power.

He's not talking about the Navy.

Alice, honey, it a... always feels like this.

And as we do, rest assured

that the Iranian government will know our resolve.

You still have that little "Boy Wonder" guy?

What are you talking about?

Your little Robin.

- The normal guy who wants... - Dennis.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Get him here.

You want me to get him involved?

He's already involved.

Birdbath.

He knows, too.

I should tell you everything.

Of course he does.

- Oh. - What?

- And Mom. - Your mother?

Yeah.

- Your mother knows? - Yeah.

- How? - I called her.

I don't know why. Tonight.

- She's coming. - Coming where?

Here.

Your mother's coming here?

Yeah.

Fuck.

You have to keep this together.

You're s... starting to get out of control, son.

If you can't keep this thing together,

and get her back to us, soon, with that bag...

You're going to get this over with right away.

If you can't keep a hold on things with your wife here,

and... and the kid, uh, dog... Jesus.

Your mother. Half the company knows.

That's what you'll have to do if you can't get the money

back from her in the next few days.

If you can't keep this in control...

You're just going to get it over with.

Well, how?

You're going to kill him.

I just can't believe it.

Can't believe what?

Glassblower.

Puppeteer.

Yeah, whatever.

She didn't want the money?

No.

She just wanted the bag?

- Yeah. - I just...

I just don't believe it.

Yeah, well, that's what happened.

N... nobody would do that.

Who would do that? Nobody would.

I know somebody who would.

But she just left.

I knew I should have asked her for the keys.

I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Well, it's just you and me, kid.

And a dog.

He won't leave.

Good boy.

Yeah, I don't know.

I think he's just been trained.

Hmm.

He's coming to Paris.

Tomorrow.

For the OPEC summit.

He has a compound in Paris.

Sounds janky.

What's that?

Janky.

Killing a guy in a compound by myself.

Sounds janky.

What's the success rate of that, you think?

Uh, I don't know.

Five percent?

I don't know.

That plan's on the other side.

Of what?

Of the Vantasner.

The Vantasner Danger Meridian?

Yeah.

Well, you're gonna start figuring out how to do it.

You start tomorrow.

Doing what?

There are 19,000 guns in Paris.

Get one.

Hello?

You have my daughter?

Yes.

Keep her.
