All language subtitles for Covert Affairs S02E13 A Girl Like You

Previously on
Covert Affairs...

You're one of Billy's
college buddies, right?

I'm Parker.

Billy's little sister.

I'm leaving the next
this fall though.

Off to the Peace Corps.

You don't wanna take a blind
man to the dance floor.

It just took so long
to get over losing Billy,

and this feels like--

No, no, you don't need
to explain it.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have done that.

That's how they teach you
in the CIA?

Why would CIA and Mossad
share the same safe house?

Food.
You don't want it to get cold.

So many have
trouble improvising,

but you, you have some gears
to shift into.

- Listen, buddy, if you--
- bonsoir.

- This is--
- A pleasant surprise, I hope.

Let's go.

- Maybe the Riviera next time.
- I don't know.

The beaches in Israel
are much better.

I can't talk.

This is Vincent Rossabi,

your friendly
neighborhood "G" man.

Uh, this is not
a good time.

Well, can you give
the FBI five minutes?

Blues yard, you know it?

Yeah, I know it.
I'll be there in 15.

Okay.

I am so sorry.
It's work.

I mean, can I give you
a ride somewhere?

No, they're sending a car.

So rude.
Can we reschedule?

It's okay.

I, uh, I know a ripcord call
when I hear one.

It really is work.

It's okay.

Bluegrass?

Blind date.
I gave it a shot.

I realize the Smithsonian
keeps banker's hours,

but I need a favor.

I think we've run that joke
into the ground, don't you?

Okay.

I've got
a confidential informant

who has been approached
by a CIA operative.

Approached?

Harassed, spooked,
you fill in the blank.

And this informant
figures importantly

in a case that we have spent,

well, that I have spent
a great deal of time on.

You want the Agency
to back off?

Affirmative.

Okay.

Did you run it up the chain?

Yeah, I crossed my Ts,
dotted my Is.

I mean, it was protocol
all the way.

And?

Global deafening silence.

I'm not sure
what you think--

Okay, you know what,
you can take a message for me.

You can tell your operative
he can forget about tonight.

I don't even know
if we have an op,

and I certainly don't know
anything about tonight.

Yeah, well, he was supposed
to meet my asset at Joe's Bar.

He will not be there.

Nothing?

I'm telling you,
there is no Agency interest

in Rossabi's informant.

And you know how I love
coming in late at night

to find nothing.

Oh, don't sell
yourself short, Auggie.

Nobody finds nothing
like you.

Guess I walked
into that one.

Dealer's choice,
I'd say.

Your call, Walker.

Uh, I'm going in.

Why am I not surprised?

How are you gonna know
this impostor?

Rossabi said
he'll be at the last table

on the right.

Happy hunting.
Call me after.

Annie Walker.

Eyal Lavin.

You know, people
have gone to prison

for impersonating
a CIA operative.

Well, then I sure hope
I don't get caught.

Oh, sit down, please.

All right.

Your back's gonna be
to the door.

What's Mossad doing?

Mossad?
I don't know.

Me, I'm just
having a drink.

Will you join me?

You know what I mean.

Having a Sazerac.

I developed a taste for it

when I was in med school
in Tel-Aviv.

- Two more, please.
- No, thank you.

- Med school?
- Are you sure?

It's only good when
it's served extremely cold,

which this establishment
appreciates.

When were you in med school?

Well, that's
a different story.

Are you sure
you don't want one?

Eyal, listen to me.

Always.

You're gonna be drinking
alone tonight.

That's a pity.

The person
you were planning to meet,

you will never
meet with again.

That sounds permanent.

And stop pretending
to be CIA.

That's too bad,

'cause it's refreshingly
uncomplicated.

Oh, here we go.

You see,
remove all logic,

sex, weapons, initiative.

Replace it with
calling your bosses

every hour on the hour,
endless amount of paperwork,

and there you are.

CIA.

Good-lookin'
and funny.

You mind me good-looking?

Eyal, stop.

I'm serious.

Enjoy your drink.

Oh, and fyi,
the perfect Sazerac

is at the best bar
in the city,

the Parchment.

You're wrong, you know?

See, what's, uh--

what's gonna happen is this.

You're gonna report back
to your superiors

that we talked,

and they're gonna want to know
why Mossad is here,

why we're interested
in this individual.

So they will task you,
Annie Walker,

with finding out,

with following me.

You're never boring,

I'll give you that.

Safe trip home.

He's right.

- Excuse me.
- He's right.

We do want to know
what Mossad is doing here.

Rossabi's informant
Jacob Yassen.

He's the son
of a wealthy emir

in the United Arab Emirates.

He lives in the U.S.
and is part owner

of an international
construction firm.

And his firm is involved
in various illicit activities

here in the states
and overseas.

Tom Ford azure lime, Jai?

The prodigal son has returned
to the DPD.

The DCI wants special
projects in on this one.

The Feds have had their hooks
in Jacob for a while.

He turned informant
to avoid prosecution

on a bid-tampering charge.

Hence Agent Rossabi's
concern.

Wouldn't say the mood
at Hoover is concern.

I just got off
the phone with them.

They're upset.

Why is Mossad pursuing this?

A black op on our soil,
no heads-up?

Annie, I want you
to run point on this.

Follow Eyal
and determine why.

I'll back-channel
King Saul Boulevard,

which will no doubt
prove fruitless.

What do I tell Rossabi?

Nothing.

- Nothing?
- It's need-to-know.

He doesn't need to know.

Not according to the DCI.

Collegial cooperation
between domestic agencies.

In this case, they've been
transparent with us.

Annie's my operative.

This is my call.

Tell Rossabi we need
a day to drill down.

Translation, what's a little
lying between friends?

Vincent, I'm on it.

Yeah, I'm not sure
what that means.

It means you were right.

I asked.
There is someone in place.

Okay, is this person
standing down?

We're into it.

Yeah, that fills me
with confidence.

You asked me for a favor,
and I delivered.

Yeah, the Smithsonian fills me
with confidence and gratitude.

I thought we put
that joke to bed.

I'm a creature of habit.

I mean, what do you expect
from a guy who wears wing tips?

Walker?

- Hello?
- I gotta go.

Wait, hold--

It's a lovely day.

Go ahead, say it.

What?

Oh, I told you so.

No, I'm bigger than that.

All right, not really.

Listen, um, since you're
already following me,

why don't you come
and ride with me?

Come on.

Does this mean no tail?

As long as we're together.

Excellent.

Put your seatbelt on.

Or not,
it's your choice.

I bought you a day
to finish up

whatever you need
to finish up.

What if I want
to start something new?

Then I need answers.

What do you wanna know?

Why are you working
Jacob Yassen?

Yassen is of
no importance to us,

but he could put us in contact
with someone who is.

Who?

A deep-cover asset
Mossad has had in place

for over a decade.

What's Mossad doing with
an undercover asset in America?

Don't be naive.

All I can tell you
is that he's gone silent.

We're worried.

Unlike some other
unnamed agencies,

we take care of our own.

It's a matter
of national pride.

Along with the world's
best hummus.

Hey, I thought
you'd be excited.

I am.

Come on, you know
what this means to me.

You know, Peace Corps is
incredibly selective.

Not everyone gets to go,
and they chose me.

I'm excited,
I'm excited.

No, you're not.

Look at you.

All right, it's just...

Eritrea?

Okay, it's not
the garden spot

of the planet,
I know.

Garden spot, no.

Troubled and dangerous, yes.

Okay, you're worried,
and that is very sweet.

But it's not forever.

It's two years.

I just wanna go somewhere
where I'm needed.

And there's need there
in so many ways.

Women's rights, Auggie--

Are virtually nonexistent.

Can't you just
be happy for me?

I am.

And proud.

Very.

You told your folks?

Not yet.

I have time.

Four months.

What's your mission?

Meet with our asset,
assess the risk,

bring him home
if I deem necessary.

Just standard protocol.

And that's it?

Wow, listen to you.

I'm hurt.

Remember, I'm the guy
who cooked for you.

How many men
have cooked for you, huh?

Actually?

Well, cooked organically.

You lied to me yesterday.

Why should I believe you now?
Or ever?

It's Thursday.
I don't lie on Thursdays.

What are you doing?

The FBI are preventing me
from meeting with my asset.

So it's time for plan "B".

What's plan "B"?

Jacob brings
his girlfriends here.

Daddy doesn't know
about this place

and neither do the
mouth-breathers over at the FBI.

What?

You wanna see
how I collect information?

Watch this.

So where is he?

I don't have it.
I told you, I don't know.

What the hell
are you doing?

Plan "B".

This is a mistake.

Jacob, we just need
a moment of your time.

Just for the record,

whatever he's into
I'm not a part of it.

I swear.

Okay, like I said,

sometimes my colleague can
be a little out of control,

and we apologize.

We apologize?

I can leave?

- No.
- Of course.

Or stay.
We'll just be a minute.

Actually,
I was just leaving.

Call me.

She's gonna be on her cell
to the cops--

George, or whatever
you're calling yourself today,

would you focus?

You said your name
was Antonio.

- Who are you people?
- Jacob, look at me.

Never mollycoddle an asset.
That's rule one, chapter one.

All I need from you
is an introduction.

One introduction,
and we're gone.

Really?

That's it,
and it ends.

Introduction to who?

Good question.

I don't--

Listen.

Don't let
my friend here fool you.

I will do what I must.

Jacob, we just need
to know how to reach him.

Okay.

All I am is a messenger.

I pass along information.

That's all.

I leave a mark.

I call a number.

I wait an hour.

If he agrees to meet,

there will be a mark.

That's all I know.

After you leave your mark,
what then?

I said I wait an hour.

I like the water.
It calms me.

I park near the basin
and wait.

I've got some tape
in my kit.

What, are you going to war?

Every day.

Make the call.

So we release him
after this, Antonio.

It was better
than George.

Hey!

Don't just leave me here.

So you said medical school?

Did you finish?

No.

What happened?

2002, my family needed me,

and, uh, so I took
a leave of absence,

never went back.

"Dr. Lavin" has kind of
a nice ring to it.

You and my mother.

- You regret not going back?
- No.

It's different in Israel.

Our ambitions
are about life,

living well,
not our careers.

What about having both?

See, now that's
very American.

Life takes you
where it takes you.

You can only steer so much,
sometimes not at all.

History taught us that.

Don't fight the current,
is that it?

Or swim with it.

Instead of fighting,
live your life.

Yeah, the current may know
something you don't.

Doesn't sound
like you at all.

Why not?
It's completely me.

Sometimes you just have
to let the river take you.

And where has
the river taken you?

Today...

It's taken me here.

With you.

You guys,

I'm thirsty!

- I got it.
- Thanks.

Auggie.

Joan,
I have a favor to ask.

Maybe I've come
at the wrong time.

Auggie.

I have this friend.

You have this friend.

Who's received an assignment
with the Peace Corps

to serve in,
of all places, Eritrea.

Hmm.

Exactly.

So this friend...

Is the sister of a soldier
I served with in Iraq.

She's all
her parents have left.

I just--
- Auggie, you realize

the Agency has
no official involvement

with the Peace Corps.

I'm not asking officially.

You're just asking?

Which is something
I have never done.

This family's
been through a lot.

I'd like to spare them and her,
if I can.

So you want a reassignment,
that's what you're asking?

Service is still service.

No matter where it occurs,

it doesn't make the need
any less valuable.

Write a letter.

Make a request.

I'll make sure it gets
in the right hands.

But there are no guarantees.

Of course,
I understand.

Thank you.

Auggie.

Glad you came to me.

I'd like to know
who we're going to meet.

I already told you.

Yeah, and then you
needlessly manhandled

our passenger here.

Definitely needlessly.

Who is it?

Put this on him, please.

Come here.

Van Halen.

David Lee Roth era,
the good stuff.

Enjoy.

I only know him
by his code name.

Cardinal.

That's a start,

an asset named Cardinal.

Not an asset.

Civilians get
alphanumeric designations.

What is he?

He's a Mossad operative.

But he's not spying
on any U.S. interests.

Yeah, who is he spying on?

Not the U.S.

I have to call Langley
and check in.

Hey!

I can't believe you did that.

What is it with you
and cell phones?

What is it with you
and always checking in?

Ah--

You know what, it feels good.
You should try it.

Might be liberating.

Give me your phone.

Absolutely not.

- Eyal.
- Forget it.

It switched to Abba.

Do you have this on shuffle?

You owe me a phone.

Look, I've done
what you wanted.

What's your next protocol?

Dude, I feel
really light-headed.

Once we have eyes
on your man,

you'll be released.

Just...

Just drive straight and take
a left on "C" street.

It's just up there
on the right.

What's this?

He set us up.
He set us up!

Annie.

Come on, come on.

Whoa, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go.

Take a step back.

Move it.

More.

You took care
of it for me, huh?

You just ruined my afternoon,

and now my informant, after
three years of work, is dead.

I understand
your frustration.

Do you really?

Because the last time I saw you,
you were a lawyer.

She's Smithsonian and who
the hell knows who this guy is.

It's a damn costume party!

I am here to set
things straight, so--

Okay, well, let me
tell you something.

The stink is sure as hell
gonna reach your office

because my boss
is talking to your boss.

This has not gone vertical,
this has gone ballistic.

Let's stick to the matters
at hand, shall we?

Ms. Walker here will remain
and debrief your people.

This individual
is not who he says he is.

I've been ordered to
ship him home.

Where is home?

- The Middle East.
- Israel.

He's Mossad.

I'm looking that he talks.

Our intention is to extend to
you every courtesy we can,

even though it may not appear
that way with some of us.

That your version
of an apology?

Listen, uh,

not that I don't
appreciate the hospitality,

but I don't debrief.

Good.
'Cause we're not interested.

Your superiors,
however, are.

You have an appointment
at King Saul,

and I hear
individuals there

are very anxious
to hear your thoughts.

Let's go.

And you will not be back.
Ever.

If it were up to me,

I would personally
walk you to your cell

and throw the key away.

Take him to his plane.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. No, no.

Let's talk.

No doubt
you can find your way out.

You are spooks, after all.

You are either personally
undermining me

or your promotion has affected
your better judgement--

if such a thing ever existed.

In the future, if you have
anything to say to me,

you will hold your tongue
and speak to me privately.

Or better yet,
keep it to yourself.

Do my ears deceive me?

A friendly face.

Nice job
with a tough situation.

Tough girls tough it out.

I like it.

You want the good news
or the good news?

Yes, please.

FBI rolled up
one of the shooters.

He talked.

The Bureau's planning on
taking down Eyal's man tonight,

and once that happens,
everybody wins,

and you are off the hook,
Annie Walker.

Eyal said his name
was Cardinal.

FBI is being tight-lipped.

Mossad isn't
returning Joan's calls.

Upstairs ordered an NIE.

Until then,
we don't know.

Eyal said he's a Mossad op.

Oh, he's anything but that.

Arab desk thinks he might be
a Yemeni hitter,

but whatever he is,
justice is holding him

on a conspiracy
to murder charge.

Give state
time to do their thing.

This isn't your fault,

and no one thinks that.

What about Eyal?

He's got this own problems.

Halfway across the Atlantic.

A Yemeni hitter, huh?

Chatter says
he may have been involved

in the '02 peace talks thing.

Do remember that?

The Golan Heights massacre?
Stopped the talks?

2002?

Yeah.

Huh.

You okay?

Uh, yeah, thanks.
I'll see you later.

You're right.
Pretty good.

Somehow I knew
you'd be here...

But how?

They put me
on a commercial flight.

Turns out, the air marshal
was a former Mossad Agent.

It's more common
than people know.

Good money. Decent hours.
Travel the world.

Who wouldn't hire Mossad,
right?

So, uh, he did me a favor.

The FBI
should know better.

Looks like you did.

You're not gonna leave
until you've finished, are you?

There's nothing humanitarian
about your mission.

You're here
to kill Cardinal.

Let me get you a drink.
Uh, two more, please.

Macallan. Eighteen.
Neat.

Cardinal's real name
is Fouad Saeed.

In 2002, when I was
in med school in Tel Aviv,

Saeed entered a kibbutz
near the Golan Heights,

assassinated an IDF guard

and six kibbutzniks.

He was hoping to
poison the peace talks.

One of the civilians killed
was my sister.

I love my country and
I would do anything for it,

but Fouad Saeed is the reason
I became a Mossad Agent.

Thank you.

Nine years,
two months, eight days.

Her name was Sarah,

after our grandmother,
who died in Treblinka.

Why are you here,
Annie Walker?

This is a suicide mission.

Don't do it.

It's not
what your sister would want.

Well, you didn't know
my sister.

This is exactly
what she would have wanted.

See, we know this is when
you fight the current.

Again, why are you still here,
Annie Walker?

- Huh.
Classic honey-trap.

It's for your own good.

Of course,
I saw it coming.

I mean, you need to
work on your technique.

There's nothing wrong
with my technique.

I was simply
being a gentleman.

The FBI is
gonna take down Saeed,

and your inclinations to
play by your own rules

will undoubtedly get
in the way, so--

You think
this will hold me?

Long enough for my needs.

If this is how you treat
a man, I think I like it.

As soon as the FBI
has Saeed in custody,

I'll come back
and, uh, set you free.

Where are you going?

I gotta
make a phone call.

And since someone threw my phone
out of a moving car--

I gotta say,
I'm, uh, I'm impressed.

I'll be right back.

I'll be here.

Auggie, where are we
at with the, uh--

- Huh. Interesting number.
- I lost my phone.

We know.

We've been pondering that
and other things.

Eyal never made it
to Israel.

What have we got
from the FBI?

Impeccable timing as always,
Walker.

Just got off the wire.

Feds traced a tip
from the shooter

to an apartment
in Anacostia.

Cardinal wasn't there. Hoover
building is in a tizzy.

How does that happen?

Look, Auggie, I have Eyal.

He didn't leave.
We're at the Chatham.

Are you with him now?

No, he's in his room,
but, uh--

oh, my God.

What?

He's here.

Who?

Cardinal.

Are you certain?

Yes. It's him
and two friends.

Eyal knew.
That's why he stayed.

He knew they'd come.

Jai has a team in the field.
Annie, they're en route.

Do not handle by yourself.

I gotta go.

Jai,
she needs you there now!

Copy that.

I'm here.

We've got three bogies
in the elevator.

One of them is Saeed.

They're on their way
to the eighth floor.

Annie's taking the stairs.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay.

Let me get this straight.
Who shot who?

He didn't shoot anyone.

You shot him.

Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.

Self defense.

I still don't even
know who you are.

This is the last time
I ask you for a favor.

Thanks.

Anytime.

You knew he'd come.

So what now?

I guess I'll see
where the current takes me.

This is not
a change of assignment letter.

It is my "close and
continuing relationship" form.

I realize that the reason

I don't want her to go to
Eritrea is the same reason

I don't want her
to go anywhere.

We have four months left
until she leaves

and I plan on making
the most of it.

Per protocol,
I'm informing the Agency.

Lucky girl.

- A Sazerac. Ice cold, please.
- Sure.
