(BEEPING)

BRANCA: I have a degree
in criminal justice,

and a First from Oxford

learning to track and target
a dispersed enemy

in an asymmetrical war.

All this technology,

and we're back
to 1980s cloak and dagger.

BEN: (OVER COMMS) If your
country lost a billion dollars

in a cyber-attack,

you'd look to the old ways too.

(SCOFFS)

While you were living
in a shipping container

in a fortified compound,
learning to turn Afghans,

our old adversaries were...
perfecting their craft.

BRANCA: Oh, speaking
of old adversaries,

here's your man, Evgeny.

Followed by Simon
and Garfunkel.

BEN:They're here for the handoff.

That means
we don't have much time.

The mole is here,

or very close.

(BELL RINGING)

That's a positive ID
on Abel Zacharia,

Turkish Intelligence.

He contacted
the US State Department

about selling information,
and they turned him down.

BEN: So he went
to the next highest bidder.

There he is, got him.

Opening up the channel.

BRANCA:Grey trench coat, glasses.

Northwest gate.

That's your cue, Eugene.

National security depends
on us intercepting that intel.

(BEEPING)

Looking good, sweetheart.

(GROANS IN FRUSTRATION)

We're in business.

Evgeny's taken the bait.

EVGENY: (GROWLS FRUSTRATEDLY)
Stay! Stop!

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

BRANCA: (IN ENGLISH)First contact spotted.

Keep that on Evgeny.

(MEN SHOUTING)

(GROANS FRUSTRATEDLY)

(SIGHS WEARILY)

Evgeny.

(LAUGHS)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(IN ENGLISH)
If you worked for me,

things would be easier.

I'll consider it.

(LAUGHS)

So...

Today, you have
wedding anniversary, yes?

Hacking my phone?

Your wife,

she will be disappointed
if you are late again.

My wife is never disappointed.

(EVGENY CHUCKLES
DISBELIEVINGLY)

My wife,

she had left me

because of work.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(IN ENGLISH) Long career,
many regrets,

but if I could change
one thing,

that would be it.

Nazdrovia, Ben.

Hey, Branca?

BRANCA: Enjoy
the anniversary dinner, boss.

I'll clean up any loose ends.

Good job.

(CAR HONKING)

Oh, a rose, please.

Yes.

(SPEAKING HUNGARIAN)

BEN: (IN ENGLISH)
Good evening, Norbi.

Bonsoir, Ben.

-My wife is...
-Just over there.

-Oh, thank you very much.
-You're welcome.

-BEN: Sweetheart.
-You're late, darling.

You know how much
this means to me.

You're lucky that I do.

Thank you.

(SIGHS) So we don't have time
for drinks anymore,

our table's booked for eight
at The Carlton.

-Well, I'll call a cab then.
-Okay.

Oh, I really want to
say goodbye to Matt,

-is that all right?
-Okay.

Have I told you
how beautiful you look?

You're not so bad yourself.

Mr. Malloy.

(PATRONS CHATTERING)

-Norbi?
-NORBI: Yes, Ben?

Will you please call us a taxi?

Of course.
Are you leaving so soon?

Yes, anniversary obligations.

IG ATTORNEY:We're all very sorry

about the circumstances
of your wife's death.

But there are concerns
related to her last assignment

that we need to address.

BEN: This is fucking
shooter-arm bullshit.

I've been sitting here
for two hours

answering
the same damn question.

We're simply exploring
the scope of your knowledge

of that operation, Mr. Malloy.

I told you what I know.

Farrah wouldn't have been
a part of any conspiracy.

Do you recognize
that individual?

(SIGHS GRIMLY)

-No.
-IG ATTORNEY: Kharon Taramov.

He's linked to the murder
of several NATO agents.

His trade
is information-gathering.

The old-fashioned way.

Russia has spent
the past several years

using men like that
to slowly rebuild its empire,

quietly undermining
Western democracy.

Okay.

What does he have to do
with Farrah?

Was your wife his handler?

-Objection.
-Hold on, Ted.

Listen to me
you smug piece of shit,

Farrah believed
what she did for the CIA

was both meaningful and
critical to America's safety.

Beyond that,
we both knew better

than to ask
about each other's work.

Would you be willing
to take a polygraph exam?

Objection. Ben. That's enough!

You're damn right I would.

TED: Ben, we're done!

BEN: Go get it.

Farrah wasn't responsible for
handling any Russians, Ted.

-They're fishing.
-They're smearing her!

DEPUTY DIRECTOR WILLIAMS:
Ben! Hold up.

How come you're not working
on your handicap?

(SCOFFS) The Inspector General
keeps interrupting my game.

Ah, IGs are like mushrooms.

Keep 'em in the dark
and feed 'em manure.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(WHISPERING)
I know what's going on

and I've got your back, Ben.

Just telling them everything
I know, sir.

Hm. Oh, I, uh...

I hear your son is starting
in, uh, IT, yeah?

-In the fall? Hm.
-Yes, sir.

Well maybe he'll follow

in his parents' footsteps
one day.

No loose ends, Ben.

BEN: You heard Williams.

The Agency's backing me.

Deputy Director Williams
is behind a steering wheel

that isn't connected
to an engine.

What does that mean?

Come on, Ben.

You've been around long enough.

The IG's the one
that determines

whether this gets sent
to the DOJ.

What's to refer?
Farrah wasn't a double-agent.

We've both been doing this
a long time.

Long enough to understand

the human condition
is not absolute.

We're all inscrutable, Ben.

Even Farrah.

No, Farrah was clean
as a whistle.

I lived with her,
I raised my son with her.

I know that.

So should I cancel my trip?

Do I need to stay and fight?

Unless you get
some new evidence,

there's not much we can do.

It's in the wind now.

(TYPING)

(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS)

I don't buy it.

Talk to me, Farrah.

(FOREBODING MUSIC CONTINUES)

BEN: Morning, George.

GEORGE:
Good morning, Mr. Malloy.

Working hard to keep us safe?

-Yeah.
-(CARD BEEPS)

What... My card doesn't work.

(CARD BEEPING)

Whoa! Ben Malloy,
good to see you, man.

How you doing man?
You looking good.

(GRUNTS PLAYFULLY)
Come on, man.

Do I know you?

What? Come on, it's me,
you don't recognize me?

-No.
-Oh, you want VIP access,

but they've put
a security restriction

on your badge.

How do you know that?

Desmond Jackson.

Although anybody who's anyone
calls me Dez.

(LAUGHING) Come on, man,
you know that.

We got it, George.

We're good, we're good,
we're good. You...

Follow me fast,
if you hesitate,

I will leave you.

So, we are the foremost
information acquisitionists

in the world.

Here, and I think we can help.

But I can only imagine

what you're going through,
Mr. Malloy.

How do you know my name?

And why the personal escort?

You were the Chief of Station
for the Baltics.

I am really sorry about
what happened, by the way.

-Who restricted my access?
-Anytime the IG investigates

they're gonna clip your wings.

I mean, we can sweep
your system for bugs,

it won't do much
but it'd give you an edge.

I'm not under
formal investigation.

Hey, look,

Mr. Malloy, I'm no lawyer

but if the IG decides
to drop a bomb,

you're in the blast radius.

I need help.

Did you know Farrah?

Why do you think
I'm helping you?

She was one
of the very best people

I've ever worked for.

And your son is something else
in the IT field.

-You should be proud.
-BEN: I am.

Hey. You don't need to
hold my hand, I can do this.

(TYPING)

DEZ: So you're familiar with
running the latest modular

mission applications
to provide, amongst others,

total CREST access
and SIGINT functionality?

Please.

No, please.

I need you to hold my hand.

(SIGHS)

DEZ: Okay, so,
I'm running a broad sweep

on any questionables operating
in and around the area

-where your wife was killed.
-(BEEPING)

Know what a sociogram is?

Yeah, it's a visual tool
for charting

relationships within groups.

This ain't your first rodeo.

All right, so we have got

rainbow coalition
of white and black hats,

Hungarian TEK,

Polish SKW intel,

a former Chechen Kadyrovite,

hell, we even got ourselves
some former members

of the Estonian KAPO.

Huh.

(IN RUSSIAN)

DEZ: (IN ENGLISH)
There is one other person

who was around
on the day Farrah died.

Kharon Taramov.

BEN: Kharon Taramov.

DEZ: Any idea what
he was doing in Hungary?

-No.
-Hm.

You ever considered
the Russians?

I mean, FSB, GRU
ain't a bunch of Boy Scouts.

No, I know the Baltic chief.

Evgeny Kalinakov?

BEN: Yeah,
that's not his thing.

Killing people is not
his thing?

I didn't say that.

Okay.

(GRUNTS) I'll run a remote
scan from your laptop.

Give me a few days and
we'll see who's been snooping.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

BEN: Did they force you
to do this?

Tell me you weren't involved.

"Connect the dots... "

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Huh.

Nick.

-NICK: Hey, dad.
-I'd begin to worry about you.

Yeah.

Yeah, reception's been shitty
out here.

Yeah, those French cell-towers
get you every time.

NICK: Actually,
I'm... I'm not in France.

What do you mean
you're not in France?

-Where are you?-I'm, uh... I'm in Croatia.

Croatia?
What are you doing there?

Yeah, there's this girl.

BEN: Uh-huh.

-Yup, there always is.
-(CHUCKLES)

Her name's Veronique.

BEN: Right.

-She's chill. You'll like her.
-(VERONIQUE KISSES)

Oh, I'm sure I will.

NICK: Yeah, look, I'm running
a little late right now.

-(SIGHS)
-Do you think we could meet

-Thursday?
-On Thursday?

-I land on Monday.
-NICK: I know.

What am I going to do
for four days?

Look, please don't be pissed.

No, I'm not. I mean,
you're a grown man,

you can make
your own decisions.

I just want to see you,
that's all.

We'll still meet up in France,
okay?

BEN: (GARBLED)I can kill a couple...

I said we'll still
meet up in...

(IN ENGLISH) What secrets
are darkening your brow?

(CHUCKLES)

You know better than
to ask me that.

I'm probably just thinking
about how lucky I am.

Do you ever give that
intuition of yours a rest?

BEN: Hm...

-No. Especially around you.
-(CHUCKLES)

Speaking of, uh, intuition,

-what are you hiding?
-(CHUCKLES)

Remember,

when we were "discovered"?

Hm, yeah. Like two little kids
caught necking?

FARRAH: (CHUCKLES) They said
it would never work.

A husband and a wife.

You did, didn't you?

(LAUGHS)

-You did it? Well, hello.
-Mm-hm. (CHUCKLES)

Mrs. Chief of Station.

(KISSES)

-(CHUCKLES)
-That little Algerian girl

got smart.

With the support
of a wonderful husband...

-Hey.
-... a loving son and

-a bit of luck maybe?
-Yeah.

Now she deserves to celebrate.

On that note...

My grandfather bought these
as a gift for my grandmother

when they were married.

(WHISPERS) Open it.

Named after Fatima,
beloved daughter of Muhammad.

They're for protection
and good fortune.

I want you to keep it close
to your heart, Ben.

That way I will always
be there with you.

I will.
We're meeting in Paris.

That's the layover?

Yes.

Had a few days and, um,

I wanted to talk to you
about something.

-(CELLPHONE CHIMES, VIBRATES)
-Thank you.

WAITER: You're welcome.

(BEEPS)

(WAITER AND BRANCA
SPEAKING HUNGARIAN)

(IN ENGLISH) You were saying?

There've been some, um...

things, that I want
to talk to you about.

We both know that
the IG report is utter shit,

but I can't discuss any...

They're trying
to blame Farrah.

Blame her for the death
of those agents.

Right.

That's, uh,
a slap in the face.

Yeah.

What if her death
wasn't an accident?

Do you know something I don't?

No.

It's a feeling, a hunch.

I do hate when you get those.
(CHUCKLES)

John, what if everything
we know about Farrah's death,

is wrong?

-Any evidence?
-Not conclusive.

John, I just feel like, um...

I feel like we need to do...

something.

Well, we are not
going to do anything.

You're going to Paris and...

I'll shake a few branches,
see what falls out the tree.

But, uh...

I think it's important
you spend time with your son.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Okay, I gotta go.
I'll call you later.

-Benjamin.
-Hello, Hitch.

-Could have called.
-Would you have answered?

-No.
-(CHUCKLES)

But it would have given me
time to run and hide.

I supplied you
as an operative, but this...

I could lose my job
helping you.

I've got nowhere else to go.

Besides,

you knew Farrah as well
as anyone.

You never really know anyone
in this trade, Ben.

When Farrah died,

she was wearing
a replacement wedding ring.

Nanotechnology.

Test case item
that never went into issue.

I was looking
after her original.

We believe Evgeny's
tech-team hacked it

and were able
to track Farrah's movements.

BEN: So the explosion
that killed Farrah,

they knew she'd be there?

Evgeny was sidelined.

HITCHENS: He was officially
suspended from operations.

Though he still holds court
at the El Royale Casino.

You keep it.

When this is over,
I'll be back.

I hope so.

I don't believe Farrah's death
was an accident.

There's a reason why
the clandestine world

is described
as a wilderness of mirrors.

I can do one thing for you.

This is
Farrah's emergency fund.

It's the most useful thing
I can give you.

Parting gift in her memory.

Use it to find Evgeny.

Evgeny's cold.

He wants to stay cold.

If you want his focus,
make a scene.

You remember how to do that.

Don't you, Ben?

You know, I slipped him a $50.

Why you come here?

You are too experienced

We are different

but, on this point,

you could not be more wrong.

you're talking about?

Half-dozen active agents

EVGENY: We have footage.

Was damaged.
We clean up a few frames.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Former FSB.

Your guy.

Gonna admit it, Evgeny?

Say it.

No.

I swear on mother's grave.

He does not work for us.

Then who is responsible?

You remember when you were
stationed in Macedonia, yes?

Yes, I'd like to forget.

Well, then you will recall

Is it Syrians?
Is it the Serbians?

Am I allowed to know?

JANSSON: Well, seeing
that you're family...

There's a rogue element
to the FSB.

They tried to kill
your father.

Not an easy task.

So what do you want with me?

You're next on the list.

Wait, hold...
If I'm next on the list,

what happens to my girlfriend?

-No, no, no, she...
-We just left her behind.

She's fine.

We have someone watching her.

(SIGHS)

I need a sat phone
to call Nick.

I've already sent a go team
to retrieve him.

How?

Root access allowed us
to geolocate his phone.

I already briefed
Director Williams.

Welcome aboard, Ben.

(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)

It's right here.

What is this?

JANSSON: Trust me.

It's better you're here
with us than out there.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)

Okay.

(SNAPS FINGERS)

I wanna thank you, John.

(CHUCKLES)

I should be the one
thanking you.

Your visit here
outed an operation

we never saw coming.

Apparently the men
who shot Evgeny

were Chechen assassins

associated
with the Wagner Group.

Yeah, but why?

Intel suggests they...

were looking for something.

Something...

you might have.

That I might have?

Did Evgeny or the others ever
ask you for anything?

No, nothing.

John, I went to them.

They never asked you
for anything?

BEN: No, I was the one doing
the asking.

Did Farrah give you
something before she died?

What the hell
would she give me?

I don't know, Ben.

You tell me.

No, she didn't give me
anything.

Look, I need to speak to Nick.

There's a satellite phone
downstairs.

(UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING)

My father's not coming, is he?

You want the truth or a lie?

Whatever they offer you...

never be enough.

(KHARON SIGHS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Ben, why weren't
you honest with me

when I asked you
if you knew anything?

You're a fuckin' traitor,
John.

Eight years
we worked together,

and I trusted you.

I had your back.

I'm only going to ask you
one more time.

What did Farrah give you?

She gave me a son.

She gave me a home.

She gave me a life.

Leave us.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR LOCKS)

(IN ENGLISH) You know
my history, John.

You know what I'm capable of.

(BRANCA CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You should just kill me.

You should watch your back,
John.

I don't really think
that you're in a position

to be making threats.

You know she was, uh...

a honeytrap, right?

She used to fuck the enemy.

That is why Evgeny
felt so sorry for you.

-(BEN GRUNTING IN PAIN)
-He had empathy.

Am I done?

(PANTING)

You always lived
in a dark place, John.

No joy.

No love.

you love, John.

(BEN BREATHING HEAVILY)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

You were there.

That was you at the cafe,
wasn't it?

-What's your name?
-Why does it matter?

I like to know the name
of the people I'm gonna kill.

(CHUCKLES)

Ah, you Americans think
you are so powerful.

Let me tell you
a little story, my friend.

-(TOOLS CLANGING)
-In the 1980s,

the head of the CIA
was captured by Hezbollah.

Tortured to death.

A few weeks later, the head
of the KGB was captured.

The KGB kidnapped a relative
of the leader of Hezbollah.

And kept sending body parts.

A finger,

a thumb.

The head of the KGB
was released unharmed.

You will never beat us.

We're not playing
by the same rule.

I don't work with Chechens.
I kill them.

Where's my son?

Hm...

You're too weak to leave
the way I came.

Listen,

you're gonna have to focus
on what we do next, all right?

There are shooters up there.

And they're waiting for us.

-Can you move fast?
-Yeah, let's go.

-You sure?
-Yeah, let's go.

Okay. You follow me.

You've been following me
since I arrived, haven't you?

You were on the motorcycle.

How do I know I can trust you?

(SCOFFS) I risked my ass,

and killed
eight Chechen contractors,

I saved your life back there.

Choose your next accusation
carefully.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

(CAR BEEPS)

-I need to find my son.
-You need to listen.

Your wife gave me
specific instructions.

Do you have the hand
of Fatima?

The hand of Fatima?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

-This?
-Very good.

You have the key,
and I have the address.

If I wasn't wearing it...

But you are, Ben.

And Farrah told me that.

The men who took your son

are the men
who betrayed Farrah.

(CAR STARTING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

NICK: Please.

You don't have to do this.

You can let me go.

It's complicated, Nick.

I'm just following orders.

BEN: How come you haven't
shown yourself until now?

Farrah ran a stable

of deep cover
intelligence assets.

She was about to expose

a complex money laundering
operation

that linked
the Central Bank of Russia

to a whole host
of NATO countries.

She said the expose would be
like the Panama Papers

on steroids.

Why didn't she tell me?

'Cause she discovered
a rogue US operative

was at the center of it all.

One who played all sides
against each other.

So you were
one of her informants?

There were seven people
on her asset list.

I'm the only one still alive.

You chose to break cover,
for me.

Why?

I made a promise to your wife.

She was there for me
when I needed her.

With my help,
you can end this,

I promise.

(DOOR OPENS)

KHARON: Branca wants
to talk to you, brother.

I'mma wait outside.

You look like her.

You killed her, didn't you?

KHARON: Her biggest mistake
was that she trusted me.

-(CHAIR THUDS)
-I'll kill you.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

See how easy it is?

We all have it inside of us.

All we need
is the right motivation.

(CHAIR THUDS)

I promise you,

you're not going to get away
with it.

KHARON: Hm.

What was it that she left
for you and your father?

I don't know.

I actually believe you.

But it doesn't matter now.

KRYSTYNA:
"Hidden in plain sight. "

(CHUCKLES) Farrah's idea
of a joke.

You have the key.

(BEEPS)

(SWITCH CLICKS)

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

You knew her before.

Before Guantanamo,

the US sent
"high value" detainees

to Poland for interrogation.

Farrah was straight out
of university.

She spoke fluent Arabic,

we were the only women there.

We were friends.

Our careers mirrored
each other, you know.

Farrah's with the CIA,

and mine with GROM.

I always had deep respect
for her.

She never mentioned you.

You never really know a person
in this profession... right?

(SOFTLY) Mm-hmm.

Your wife
always had wonderful taste.

How long did she know?

Farrah was an excellent judge
of human nature.

I think she would have
suspected

Branca was dirty
for some time.

So she was protecting me.

But I couldn't protect her.

Or Nick.

You're doing what needs
to be done right now.

(SIGHS) It's all that matters.

Look at this.

(TYPING)

That's a list of money
being funneled

-through LLCs, cut-outs...
-Agency fronts?

Branca's.

He appears to be
on the payroll

of at least five other
foreign intelligence agencies,

along with someone else.

(BEN EXHALES)

KRYSTYNA: (CHUCKLES) Holy shit.

BEN: No...

Farrah discovered that the
Deputy Director of the CIA

is a rogue agent.

This is what
they're looking for.

He's running the whole thing.

Branca's just
a glorified foot soldier...

BEN: Mm-hm.

-Hm.
-KRYSTYNA: What's that?

I don't know, looks like some
sort of modified BIGOT List.

(TYPES)

KRYSTYNA: Maybe
that's a mistake, I mean...

she was a handler, after all.

(TYPES)

(SIGHS IN DESPAIR)

Oh, Farrah, Farrah.

KRYSTYNA:
She wanted you to see this.

She was working with them
the whole time.

You don't know that Ben,
I mean did she...

(BEN SIGHS GRIMLY)

(KEYPAD TAPPING)

(CALL RINGING)

John. It's Ben.

I got what you're looking for.

BRANCA: I'm glad to hear that,
Ben.

BEN: I want to speak to Nick.

(EXHALES) I'll text
you a time and location.

I'll reckon
we'll make a trade.

(TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFICATION

KRYSTYNA:
That's an old bauxite factory.

There is a safehouse

the Americans use near there.

You know they'll kill you.

Once they get what they want.

I'm willing
to take that chance.

I'm sensing some anger.

(ELECTRIC LOCK BEEPS)

Yeah. I'm a tad pissed off

my wife turned out
to be a double-agent.

Are you mad about that or
because she had self-agency?

(BEN SCOFFS)

Don't gimme that crap.

Your wife did her own thing.

She ran her own ops
and she made the calls

and she never talked
about anything ever.

And look where that got her.

KRYSTYNA: Maybe it's not what
you think it is.

It's exactly
what I think it is.

So what's your plan?

Give 'em what they want
and I get my son.

You do know that
once they make the trade

you're dead, right?

And if you give them
Farrah's laptop,

her death would have been
for nothing.

(BEN SIGHS)

This isn't your fight.

-(DOOR CLOSES)
-True.

But if anything goes wrong,
they'll come for me.

BEN: Not if we're smart
about this.

BEN: I'll drive.

-Yeah.

Yeah, only enough information

to take down

But I figured you knew
that already, right?

What do you really want?

To know if you can hack
