on Covert Affairs...

Our parents told us
not to frightened

because they
were bringing along

this weathered old
steam trunk.

- And what was in it?
- Didn't matter.

We felt protected.

And I realized you weren't
asking for permission.

You were telling us
you were going to Russia.

You get caught
by Russian authorities,

there's nothing the CIA
can do to help.

Zarya, I knew your brother.
I knew Simon.

You expected me
to fall in love with him?

I did.

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

Go ahead, Annie.

Pull the trigger.

♪ ♪

Annie, where are you?

I thought you were
on your way back.

I am now.
I'm done here.

- So you--
- I did.

And now I'm coming home.

Annie, I can barely
hear you.

I said I'm coming home.

I imagine you would like
to go home.

I would like that
for you too.

All I need from you
is to cooperate.

My name is Alexei.

Please tell me yours.

You're not Pinja Stavis.

Your name is Annie Walker,
and you're a CIA operative

sent here to murder your former
colleague Lena Smith.

Chip.

Your last contact,
somebody called Mingus.

The same area code you used
to contact Lena.

It's a front for Langley.

You were calling
your handler.

Who is Mingus?

Wrong again.

This is your "Mingus".

Lena was a tremendous font
of information,

especially about you.

If you know all the answers,
why do you ask the questions?

So I know how it looks like
when you lie to me.

That's good.
Thank you.

So...

How you holding up?

I've been better.

Listen, that--
that offer still stands

if, um, you're interested.

There's Arthur.

None of us look forward

to this kind
of contingency planning

and having to discuss
worst-case scenarios.

It's been four days
since we lost contact

with operative Walker,

and it's time to address
the potential fallout

if she's been captured.

That's the worst-case
scenario?

For the purposes
of this exercise, yes.

Her being captured
is as bad as it gets.

If she can't hold up

under the pressure
of interrogation--

- She'll hold up.
- But if she can't,

and she tells the F.S.B.
everything she knows,

we need to know what kind
of damage that can do

to the Agency's operations.

Annie is not going
to talk.

She's already demonstrated
her commitment

to this Agency
by eliminating someone

who could've done
a hell of a lot more damage

to our operations.

Joan, no one is questioning
Annie's courage

or her commitment.

We're conducting a risks

and vulnerabilities inventory
for operative Walker, Joan,

same as we do
for every captured operative.

So?

Okay, Annie has

top-secret-clearance-level
knowledge

of the following ops:

Project Spartacus,
Operation Zyzyx,

Operation Sentinel...

Believe me,
if I could've chosen

a different venue,
I would have.

Could you have been
any more clinical?

Well, this was
a significant snafu, Joan.

Yours is not the only
resignation being considered.

So, yes, for the time being,

we get everything
on the record

to eliminate any confusion.

A vulnerabilities inventory?

You know,
you can keep referring to her

as operative Walker
all you want,

but that's not gonna make this
feel any less personal.

We're doing everything we can
to bring her back.

We're holding strategy sessions
nonstop.

Well, I hope so.

We are doing what we can.

She knew what
she was getting into.

Well, I'm not so sure
she did, Arthur.

Come on, what operative
truly understands the meaning

of "We will deny
all knowledge"?

Uh, I'm not sure
what you want me to say

or what you want me
to do.

I want you
to stop pretending

that Annie
is just a line item,

a thing to be
damage-controlled.

Message received.

I'm impressed.

You have held out
longer than most.

It's important
for you to hear

that you're better
than the others, isn't it?

I'm guessing you
didn't hear that much at home

as a child.

But Simon was more generous
with his affections.

What did he tell you
about his operations?

Nothing.

He takes you to Cuba.

His handler ends up dead.

You he keeps alive.

You keep asking me
the same questions,

and I keep giving you
the same answers.

So which one of us
is the stubborn one?

Sir?

I mean no disrespect,

but it has been
more than two weeks

since Annie was captured.

When are we gonna get
off our asses

and do something?

But you meant
no disrespect.

I felt I needed
to get your attention.

Consider it gotten.

Is that all
you came up here for?

No, I came
to pitch you this.

I've been researching
Lefortovo.

I've drawn up some blueprints
based on the recollections

of ex-prisoners.

We have no confirmation

that's where
they're holding her.

That's where they kept

Litvinenko and Rust.

They're keeping her
at Lefortovo.

I'm fairly certain.

And I do realize
that no one's ever escaped,

but I think I've found
some vulnerabilities.

A small team might be able
to breach the prison

via an adjacent tunnel.

You're talking
about an underground,

fortified prison,
smack dab in the middle

of the sixth largest city
in the world.

Even assuming we make it out,
what then?

We can't control
the air space.

We're over 200 miles
from the nearest border.

Yeah, it's a risky gambit,
granted.

It's a suicide mission.

You think you're the only one
in this place

to work up a rescue?

I've had a team
constructing plans

since Annie was taken.

None of them
have been initiated

because none of them
have been deemed feasible.

What about
a negotiated release,

some kind of spy swap?

No, Russia won't even admit
they have her in custody,

and we can't exactly admit
our part in anything.

So you're telling me
Annie's fate is tied up

in a game of liar's poker?

Unless facts change
on the ground,

there's nothing I can do.

I wish that wasn't
the case.

But it is.

Nobody's coming for you.

You understand that
by now, don't you?

What are you afraid of?

Being thought of as a traitor?
Is that it?

Yes.

Well, don't be.

That word has
no meaning anymore.

It hasn't had
for a long time.

I just wanna go home.

- Then tell me what you know.
- I can't.

Write it down.

It's easier that way.

I'm left-handed.

If you were wondering
when I'd introduce

more extreme methods
of interrogation--

Go ahead.

I'm not going to hurt you.

You recognize her?

Simon's sister.

Some people find it harder

to watch other people
suffer pain

than to suffer pain
themselves.

Tomorrow we shall see
what kind of person you are.

Mossad business,

It was a lucky guess.

Believe me, that's just
a slight exaggeration.

Hey, just know...

really good friend back home.

Go.

♪ ♪

All right,
let me get this straight.

You staged an unsanctioned,
off-book, one-man jailbreak

with an operative
from a competing spy service.

That's what you took away
from our last discussion.

- It worked.
- For the time being.

If this thing went sideways,
I didn't want it

to connect back to us.

Plus Eyal
is exceptionally competent,

and he owes Annie
a favor too.

Can you get me Tel Aviv?

I would've done it myself
if I could, just so you know.

Did Joan know about this?

Not beforehand, no.

Does she know about it now?

She's not
in her office yet.

We've been trying
to reach her.

Well, this does change
everything for the Russians.

That was the idea.

If I were to put myself
in the Russians' shoes,

the proper play
is to shoot Annie on sight.

You and I both know
she was gonna die

in that prison.

The escape at least gives her
a chance.

What's the plan now?

We've obtained clean I.D.s
and travel documents

for both of them.

They're gonna be on the 216
to Helsinki.

They're traveling by train.

Yeah, they have a car,

but there'll be too many
roadblocks to avoid.

Now, anything you can do,
any strings you can pull

to give them
extra protection--

We don't have any suitable
assets on the ground in Moscow,

not after Lena burned
the covers.

I've got Rivka Singer on two.

Tell her I'll be 30 seconds.

We might be able to fly
some assets down from Helsinki.

I assume you can get them
a message.

Yeah, we've established
a protocol.

Tver's a couple hours north.

We'll have some reinforcements
catch up with the train there,

but until then,
they're on their own.

Yeah.

Rivka.

We need
to make tracks, Annie.

We got a train to catch.

I have to make
a stop first.

What are you talking about?

A friend of mine's
in danger.

Zarya Fischer.

Yeah, well, so is a friend
of mine--Annie Walker.

Have you ever heard
of her?

My interrogator threatened
to hurt her

to elicit a confession
from me.

Well, interrogators
say a lot of things.

99% of them are bullshit.

I can't take that chance.

Listen.

Zarya's no good
to the F.S.B.

unless they have you
in custody,

so the best thing you can do
for her right now

is keep your distance
and get home safely.

I understand if you want
to go on without me.

You've already done more
for me than I can already repay.

You bet your ass I have!

We're talking about Simon
Fischer's sister, right?

Look, whatever he
may have meant to you,

it's over.

You don't owe him
in perpetuity.

I owe her.

A normal person doesn't do
this kind of thing.

You know that, right?

The coast looks clear,
doesn't it?

Why would the F.S.B. Think
that you'd stop running

to come here?

I know you,
and I barely believe it.

Five minutes.

Three.

That's not me haggling.

Annie.

You're still alive.

I am.

I tried to find out
what happened to you.

I heard so many rumors.
I didn't want to believe them.

Is there somewhere else
we can talk?

You're talking to someone
who spent their entire life

living with spies.

I know how to make
a fast exit.

I just renewed it
last year.

It's under your real name.

That's never been
a problem before.

What are you doing?

Making sure you have
a better way out of here.

This is as clean a passport
as you can find.

I want you to go somewhere
clever enough

that they will never be able
to find you.

- And what about you?
- Don't worry about me.

I'll be fine.

I do this for a living.

No, don't send them.

Just keep everybody on standby

Why didn't anyone call me?

I tried what felt like
half a dozen times.

You weren't picking up.

What's going on with Annie?
Where is she?

- We're not sure.
- All we know for sure

is that she's not on the train
to Helsinki.

We're not in contact
with her?

Not directly, no.

I've established a protocol
with Eyal

using a third-party
message board

so as to avoid a direct
point-to-point link.

Good call.

The Russians
are too skilled

at monitoring
cell transmissions.

So what now?

Um, can we use
another border crossing?

What about Latvia
or Estonia?

We could get them a car.

Hey.

We've been brainstorming alts
for hours.

I'm not getting anything.

I'm not getting anything.

Okay.

All right, all right,
we still have our go-packs.

There's this ex-army guy
that I served with.

He's working security
at the port of Petersburg.

- Eyal--
- Maybe if we're lucky,

if we're not
too compromised--

Eyal, I don't have
my go-pack.

What do you mean?

I gave mine to Zarya.

What were you gonna do
when we needed to cross

into Finland?

I don't know.

I figured we'd work that out
before we got there.

The F.S.B. was not gonna let us
on that train.

At least Zarya can use it.

You gave away
your lifeline, Annie.

Do you have any idea
what that means?

No boat, no plane,
no train.

Our options are
severely limited, as in...

I can't think of any.

Gimme your cell.
I want to check in with Langley.

No way.

Too easy to track.
We don't have that luxury.

Not until we find sanctuary.

I don't care.
I wanna talk to Auggie.

Hey, I'm talking to Auggie!
This is his plan.

He's the one who set up
the protocol.

Now, I don't know how harshly
they worked you over

or what kind of number this--
this Simon guy did

on your head...

But if somehow you lost
the will to escape

because of guilt or shame
or whatever,

you better get rid
of that baggage,

or I swear to God

I'm gonna take you up
on that offer

and leave you here.

Now tell me
you're ready to go home.

I'm ready to go home.

Say it again.

I need to know
you mean it.

I'm ready.

Well.

Looks like somebody's
heard you.

Alex, see if you can pull
this aircraft up on the screen.

De Havilland.

"D-H-C" Dash "5-A",
squawk 1634.

Transponder found.

What are we looking at?

There's a flight crew
from Poland,

a pilot and co-pilot.

They fly
a cargo supply route,

the Urals to Warsaw and back,
twice a week.

Stops at Borisovsky Air Field
for scheduled refuelings.

Both pilots served for Poland
in central Asia,

alongside us.

They're loyal.
They can be trusted.

They've promised to keep

their cargo hold door open
while they're refueling.

At 7:00 p.m.,
they're back in the cockpit

and on their way
to Warsaw.

That's Annie and Eyal's window.

If they're not on that plane
by 7:00 p.m.,

the cupboard gets bare.

Take a left up here.

It's about a mile
that way.

What's that?

My interrogator's.

Can I see it?

I don't know why
I grabbed it.

I think I just wanted
to take something from him.

There's an inscription
on it saying,

"to Alexei with pride."

Yeah, that's his name.
Alexei Vershinin.

Your interrogator?

- What's the matter?
- No, nothing.

It's just that our intel said

that a guy named
Oleg Yursky

was going to handle
your interrogation.

Must have been
a last-second switch.

You're sure here?

That's what the map says.

So what kind of questions
did he ask you?

He wanted to know
about Simon's ops.

What'd you tell him?

Nothing.

Not because I was trying to be
a hero or anything.

Because I didn't know
the answers.

And he didn't believe me.

That's the scariest part.

CIA sure likes to do things
the hard way.

If Auggie says this is
the best way out of Russia,

then this is
the best way out.

I'm sure it's the best way out.

But first we gotta figure out
a way in.

I mean, there's Cyclone fencing
around the entire perimeter,

barricades there,
there, there,

30 or so infantry,
plus flight crew.

I'm open to suggestions.

Drop it.

You look like you lost
a little weight in there.

You should come
back to Israel with me.

Safta Lavin will help you
fill up those uniforms

in no time.

I'm not sure
I can sell this.

You know, I may have been
a little too quick

to dismiss this gambit.

After all, my people,
we know something

about counterstrikes,
you know?

The Raid of Entebbe,

the Six-Day War.

I had a similar experience
in Lebanon myself

when I was in service.

Was a walk in the park
compared to this.

Wheels up in two minutes.

We'll get there.

♪ ♪

Like I said...

A walk in the park.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes, my eyes are
naturally this color.

I'm serious.

I want to make sure
that you didn't sign up

for this mission

because of that file
you gave me.

The one
about Simon Fischer?

With or without the intel
in that file,

I would've ended up
where I ended up.

I made my own bed.

I just want to make sure
that you don't have

any feelings of guilt or--

Guilt?

I'm Jewish.
What do I know from guilt?

No, the truth is,
Auggie caught me at a good time.

I was gonna be
in the neighborhood anyway.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I got this thing
for Balalaikas.

Whatever happened
in that raid in Lebanon?

I gotta admit,
it wasn't our finest hour.

We were all so green.

Yeah, but that was then.
This is now.

Different day,
better team.

- There's a problem.
- What happened?

- Plane stopped.
- No, no, it can't stop.

We just lost our window.

Wasn't sure
I'd get these back.

I had less doubts
about you.

Mark Sanderson.

I'm guessing this is
not your real name.

Who are you really?

A friend.

I congratulate you, Annie.

You obviously inspire
great loyalty from your friends.

Shame you can't inspire
more intelligence.

I'm guessing that was a gift
from someone.

Your dad?

Grandfather.

Holding on to something
like that

says a lot about you.

If you think you uncovered
sentimentality in me,

I caution you not to read
too much into that.

It says you're not
Oleg Yursky.

You stepped in for him
at the last minute,

and I think that's because
you were afraid

of something I might say.

And what would I be
afraid of?

That I might say that you,
Alexei Vershinin,

are a traitor
to the F.S.B.

A traitor?

Mmhmm.

That's what Simon told me.

That you're double-dealing.

Embezzling.
You're making this up.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh, but I do.

It's all in the file
we assembled

on Simon Fischer.

I'm Mossad, by the way.

This is ridiculous.

Maybe.

But if anything I'm saying
even has a grain of truth,

I wouldn't want to be you.

A person in your position
could use an exit strategy...

such as a new identity.

That passport is clean.

There's access to funds.

The F.S.B.
might never find you.

By this time tomorrow,
you could be leading

a completely new life
with a completely new identity.

Become Mark Sanderson.

It's an even trade
for letting us go.

Let's assume for a second
what you say is right.

What's stopping me
from taking this package

and shooting you both
in the head, huh?

If we're not both home
and safe in 24 hours,

the details of that identity
will be sent to the F.S.B.

You'll be signing
your own death certificate.

And how would I know
you wouldn't do that anyway?

You'll have to take
my word for it.

You said you could tell
if I was lying.

Look at me.

Am I not telling the truth?

You will be reported dead.

And as long as you stay
that way,

you'll find it easy
to make your exit.

Nearest port
is 20 kilometers north.

May God help us all.

Hey.

You okay?

Double-dealing, huh?

Calculated guess.
