Previously
on Covert Affairs...

I'm Lena Smith.
I'm your new boss.

I want you to do
high-security clearance

on Simon Fischer.

Get intimate enough
with a man,

and he'll tell you
everything.

Nobody's ever guessed
my tattoo correctly.

It was inspired by
the Keats poem Bright Star.

I need you, Annie.

I never need anyone.

It was Lena.

We need some help
over here!

I want every possible way
out of D.C. sealed off.

♪

♪

Freeze!
This area is off limits.

Tell Joan Campbell
I need to see her.

I figured it out.

So what the hell is
going on?

Annie, you're supposed
to be recuperating.

When Lena was in Nairobi,
there was an FSB operative there

named Dmitri Larionov--
code name "Rachmaninoff."

Not only because he was
a talented concert musician,

but also because
he allegedly killed

two rival assets
with piano wire.

I went through all the cables
from Nairobi in '98,

and there was one mention
of Rachmaninoff

in Lena's correspondence
with Langley.

Annie, you broke into
Lena's apartment.

That's why you're here,
to explain that.

Not to give us new theories.

- Why not?
- Because Lena has already

fled to Russia.

We're fairly certain she's

under the protection
of Russian authorities.

Yes, I was gonna mention that
in my action plan.

- Your action plan?
- There's a Dmitri Larionov

currently living in Moscow's
Babushkinskaya district,

working in a music store.

I think that's Rachmaninoff.

If I can get to Moscow,
I can covertly reach out to him

for intel on Lena's location.
Annie, stop.

I was in Nairobi
at the same time.

Rachmaninoff was known
to all of us,

and he was accused
of terrible things.

If Dmitri Larionov is
the same man,

that's not a reason
to go to Moscow,

that's a reason
not to go to Moscow.

You're not gonna
do anything?

The Agency is vigorously
attempting

to bring Lena to justice.

What does that mean,
bring her to justice?

Kill her.

But Lena was smart.

Lena is smart.

She knew which operatives
were best suited

to bring her in.

And as we got them in,
she picked them off.

Virtually all viable assets
we have in-country

have been compromised.

So what are we
gonna do?

Our best course
of action right now

is to pursue talks
between the State Department

and Russia's Foreign Affairs
Ministry.

So we're talking,
not acting?

Annie, we're doing
all we can.

Not bad.

The jab is back, right?

Right, Auggie?

I heard about last night.

I know from firsthand experience
what it's like

to push too hard
after a trauma.

I'm not.

I am, but what's wrong
with wanting

to get back on your feet?

It's not just about your feet.
You lost someone.

It's about your heart.

I can feel you wanting
to get back into the field

and make it right,
but it's not time.

All I'm thinking about
is my footwork.

Footwork's good.

Breaking into
other people's houses

is not so good.
Put 'em back up.

Ah--

You all right?

I'm okay.
I'm okay.

I was thinking about
our conversation earlier,

and I realized you weren't
asking for permission.

You were telling us
you were going to Russia.

Yeah, I guess I was.

I know what it means
to lose someone in the field.

But it's dangerous
to use them as motivation.

Joan, I have to go.

Then I'll support it.

But when you get to Russia,
carefully approach Larionov.

See if he has any intel
that can lead to Lena.

And if you locate her,

you will take a photograph
of her,

nothing more.

This will be the proof
State needs

to negotiate
her extradition.

You will get the photo,

and then you will come home.
I understand.

You need to extract any
emotion out of the equation.

You try to get payback,
you'll be on an island.

Anything other than
waiting at the safe house

or talking with Larionov
will put you at risk.

You get caught
by Russian authorities,

there's nothing the CIA
can do to help.

We'll deny knowledge
of everything.

One more thing.

Lena knows you.

She knows your tendencies,

and she'll be expecting you
to come.

And she's hoping your feelings
for Simon

will cloud your judgment.

Will they?

No.

Stay focused,
stay in your own lane...

And stay safe.

"I'm just working

This is a plane ticket.

And keys to the apartment
of one Pinja Stanis,

former CIA asset.

Former?

Because she's dead,
Annie.

This is the kind of mission
where every question you ask

is gonna have
a scary answer.

Due to the high-risk nature,
all contact with Langley

has to be cut off.

Now, even though
I disagree with all of this,

I want you to know

I am here for you
no matter what.

That means so much
to me.

I hope you know that.

Glad we got that
out there.

Have a nice trip.

Auggie...

could you just ride
out to the airport with me?

"Welcome to Russia.

"Thought you could use a little
walking-around money.

Be safe. Auggie."

Pinja?

Hey.

♪

[Tchaikovsky's
Piano Concerto #1]

♪

Screw it.

Thank you.

Are you new in Moscow?

Yes.

- American?
- Yes.

I read about this place
in a guide book.

Ah. Enjoy.

Ah

Who are you?

I came for you,
Rachmaninoff.

I did a little digging
on Pinja Stanis.

You lived the cover
pretty well,

but she was left-handed.

I was living left-handed.

Not your playing.

Your right was dominant.

Why don't you tell me
what you're really here for?

I want to talk about
Lena Smith.

I don't know
who that is.

Your eyes say differently.

What did she do to you?

I think you want
to talk about it.

Dmitri, I can help.

We met in Nairobi in '98,

shortly after
the embassy bombing.

I was a young agent,
cocky.

I was sent
to search out Americans

affected by the bombing,

to play on their
vulnerabilities.

She was brilliant.
A fantastic challenge.

Fantastic in every way.

I followed her to Prague.

I would have followed her
anywhere.

I thought I had turned her.

How far from the truth.

But she used me.

She made a deal
with her superiors

to bolster herself
as a double within the CIA.

So I returned here,
my post, gone. My Lena, gone.

I see sadness
in your eyes too.

It's not sadness.
Anger.

Lena was responsible.

She took someone
from me.

I came here for justice.

Can you help me?

When I spoke earlier
of small hands,

I was speaking of myself,
of my own hands.

Some people are destined
for small lives.

My time with Lena
made me realize

that I am such a person.

I no longer travel
in the circles you need.

I know no one.
I know nothing.

I cannot help you get closure.

I don't want closure.

Once you're hurt,
you stay hurt.

But that doesn't mean
you can't strike back.

Please...

Don't bother me again.

So I talked to Charlie.

He said the congressional brief
is looking solid.

Just a couple of phrases
to go over with legal.

What is it?

I've allowed Annie
to travel to Russia

to prove Lena's presence
in-country.

What?

And I provided her with funds
and an active cover.

The Agency has suspended all
tactical missions on this front.

I just gave the DCI my word,
literally this morning,

that we were done with this.

Arthur, she was gonna
go anyway.

I just wanted to make sure
she did it safely.

Is it gonna be safe?

I don't know.

I could fire you
for this.

You know that, right?

How's it gonna look
if she dies?

How's it gonna look?

I don't know,
but it will feel terrible.

It's good to see you again.

Zarya...
I knew your brother.

I knew Simon.

You are Annie?

The Annie?

Simon spoke of you...
many times.

I'm so sorry about
what happened.

The government doesn't
tell me anything.

Only that he is gone.

But I know it couldn't be
your fault.

Not with the way
Simon spoke of you.

Did you talk
to him often?

He wasn't in Russia
very much,

but he would call me.

There was always something
in his voice, you know,

like he wanted to talk more,

but he didn't want to burden me
with his business

and...his life.

You were his bright star.

You're the one he got
his tattoo for.

Yes.

My name, it means
"The morning star"

in Russian.

I always wanted
to guide him home.

How was he...

Simon, the last time
you saw him?

Was he happy?

Yeah.

We were happy.

I wish I had something
of his

that I could return to you
or...

You already have.

Your doggedness is
no longer endearing.

I was thinking about
what you said.

And maybe some people are
destined for small things.

But are you content to remain
so insignificant?

Your FSB file says
your greatest skills

as an operative
were your emotional intuition

and your passion
for spycraft.

That's what my file says, too,
about me.

I know that
if I don't do this,

I can't go on.

Your Agency isn't
behind you, are they?

Your being here is
unsanctioned.

I came here for justice.

Then get it without me.

I can't.

I could tell you something
empathetic to try and turn you--

cultivate you like an asset,
stroke your ego--

but you're too smart
for that.

Here's the thing.

The only reason
I care about you

is because I think
you can help me.

I'm here, Dmitri.
This is it.

I may be the last spy
you ever talk to.

There may be someone I know.

The only one I keep in contact
with from the old days

is Sergei.

He worked counter-surveillance
for 15 years.

When Prague went to hell,
my agency sacrificed me.

He was the only one
who still talked to me.

Speaking to him is going
to make him extremely nervous.

Annie, don't do this.

What is this?

What are you looking for?

Annie, stop.

Sergei!
You come here?

You come to me
to ask me for information

and you pull this crazy shit?

I'm the one who needs
to be nervous--me.

You hear me?

I don't care.

I like her.

I don't know why,
but I like her.

You're about to like me
a lot more.

Lena Smith.

Where is she?

I could be tried for treason.

More likely, they'd throw you
in Pefortovo prison

here in Moscow.

More likely still,
I'd be put to death.

Agreed.

She's being kept
in a high-rise apartment

in the Kudrinskaya Square
building.

She lives in an ivory tower,
protected.

Every Tuesday and Thursday,

they pick her up
in a special car.

They take her for a debrief
at Kubinka Airbase.

She is like...a mole.

She never sees
the light of day.

She's definitely a mole.

You'll never get to her.

Nice to meet you too.

I need a gun.

The aim's not true.

You have to account
for more recoil

with these old pistols.

It's an '83 Makarov.

It's the best I could do
on such a short notice.

It's mine, actually.

You are injured?

I'm fine.

Let me see.

Let me see.

She hurt you more
than she hurt me.

You should go home.

Plan stays the same.

Tomorrow we intercept the car
in Arbutskaya.

I get the photo.
I go home.

You are emotional.

It's too dangerous
to work this way.

Picture a time in your life
when you were happiest,

when everything made sense.

If you hadn't met Lena,
you might still be there.

Trust me...

no good can come from this.

I'm not looking for good.

I'm in position.
Do you read me?

Loud and clear.

Mercedes is coming to you.

D548AP.

Roger that.

In five...

four...

three...

two...

one!
Go!

Seth.
What are you doing here?

Joan, I wanted
to make you aware

that OIG has gotten wind

of an unsanctioned
covert action in Moscow.

A blonde woman ambushed
an FSB vehicle,

and it didn't go well.

Is the woman all right?

Yeah. From what I hear,
she fled the scene unharmed.

But...Joan, the Kremlin's
going ballistic on this.

I mean, so is State.

This kind of aggressive
bullshit has completely tanked

the extradition talks
for Lena Smith.

Shit.

You know, rumor has it
that DCS was read-in on this.

Is that true?

Actually, you know what,
don't tell me.

I can't have this
on the record.

So off the record,
what do you think I should do?

You need to prepare
a statement.

I'm hearing
the word favoritism dropped.

This isn't being looked at like
a clandestine service mission.

What is it, then?

A Joan and Arthur Campbell
mission.

Seth.

Look, after the murder
of Jai Wilcox

and that whole Lena Smith
debacle,

I mean, this might be it
for Arthur.

I'm sorry, Joan.
No. Thank you for telling me.

Okay.

See you Tuesday?

Yeah. Tuesday.
I'll see ya.

What are you doing?

I should be dead right now.

So you need to start talking.

The guy in the car,
hesitated.

He didn't take the shot.

That had to be on purpose.

The FSB's better than that.

You should've gone
when I told you to.

Why?

It started soon after
you approached me for lessons.

After that,
I thought I was being watched.

My skills were so rusty.
I couldn't trust my instincts.

And then...she reappeared.

And all the anger...

all the passion
came flooding back.

Pure emotion.

I could feel again.

And you fell for her again.

You, more than anyone,

should understand the power
of someone like her,

how persuasive she can be.

She's intoxicating.

All these years,
I hated her.

But then she came back,
and suddenly I mattered...

again.

Her idea to use the ambush

to discredit you was genius.

Even in my prime I couldn't
think that many moves ahead.

Why didn't you kill me?

Why didn't they kill me
at the ambush?

Why don't you ask her
yourself?

She wants you alive.

She wants to see you.

Where is she?

Dmitri...

where is she?

Northwest of here.

At a dacha...

at Ilmen Lake.

Goodbye, Dmitri.

Good evening, Joan.

That's my letter
of resignation.

Thank you. I'll take it
under consideration.

What'd you expect me to do,

crumple it up and say,
"over my dead body"?

I mean it, Arthur.

I'll take it
under consideration.

- Hi.
- Annie, listen to me.

You need to get outta Russia.
You shouldn't be calling.

I know
this is off-book,

but your ambush damaged
State's negotiations

and the Russians
are looking for you.

The negotiations
were bullshit.

I'm the only one who's acting.
Annie, please.

You're a person of interest.

Every moment
you remain in Russia

is a moment too long.

Now I can arrange
a water egress for you

through the Black Sea.

Use your resources and protocols
and get to Novorossiysk.

I'm sorry.
I can't.

Annie...

Do you remember that moment
we talked about in the car,

when you've gone too far?

This is that moment.

Now I need you to come home.

And this isn't the Agency
calling, and I'm not Joan.

There are things that I need
to say to you face to face.

Important things.

Please.

I'll see you soon.

You're leaving.

Yeah.

If you pull the trigger,

you'll never know the truth
about Simon.

What truth?

Nice move with the decoy.

That was a gear you never showed
when you were working for me--

Stop stalling!

Put your hands
where I can see them.

What truth?

Were Simon and I colleagues,
friend lovers?

Were you?

Truth is we never met
face to face.

We both just worked for the same
mammoth Soviet spy service.

I fed my intel to the Kremlin,
they fed it back to him.

I just put the kettle on
for tea.

Sit!

Why did you pick him?

Mysterious bad boy
with a clarity of purpose?

Don't tell me
you don't have a type.

You expected me to fall
in love with him?

I did.

What I didn't expect
was for him to fall for you.

I mean, really.

He was ready to drop everything

and run away
to the Maldives with you.

You're a better operative
than I thought.

Is that why you picked me?

I didn't pull off
being a double for 13 years

without being opportunistic.

Jai Wilcox was on to me,

so I had Leo Brewer
take him out.

I needed somebody
to take the fall,

and there you were.

Available, vulnerable,
ready to prove yourself.

You still are.

I like you, Annie.

So I have an offer for you.

Become me.

Excuse me?

You would make
an exquisite double

within the CIA.

No one would suspect you
and I would conspire

after everything
we've been through.

It would be audacious,
elegant.

Just go back,
tell them you couldn't find me.

We could establish dead-drops
within a year.

So what...

you want me to betray
my agency and my country?

Why would I ever do that?

For one thing,
you'd be incredibly rich.

But mostly, I'd like you
to experience power.

Real, true power.

You'd be in control.

Something I think
you're starting to realize

will never happen
while you're in the CIA.

You think you have power,
here, in the woods, alone?

Yes.

I had the power
to summon you to me, didn't I?

And that kind of power
to compel people,

to move the pieces--

it's intoxicating.

You're a traitor,
Lena.

CIA, FSB.
America, Russia.

These are all just words.

The best spies
have always known

that the sides can change.

It's the game itself
that matters.

I wanna show you this.

You shot me!

You're angry.

I'm just gonna turn it off.
No!

I've heard enough lies,
enough manipulation.

If you think your desperate plea
is gonna work,

you never really knew me.

Okay, Annie.

Pull the trigger.

It'll be as if you're pulling
the trigger on yourself.

You'll never make it
out of Russia.

You'll be lucky to make it
to the other route.

I'm sure gave you the whole "we
will deny any knowledge" speech.

Pull the trigger and find out
just how true that is.

They will hang you out to dry,

leave you to rot.

And the worst part is...

You'll never be able to look
at yourself the same way again.

You'll know that you killed
for malice.

That changes you.
Go ahead, Annie.

Pull the trigger.
