Previously
on Covert Affairs...

Lena has already fled
to Russia.

- I have to go.
- Then I'll support it.

But if you get caught
by Russian authorities,

there's nothing the CIA
can do to help.

- Hey, Joan.
- Seth.

How you holding up?

I've been better.

You'll never make it
out of Russia.

Now I need you to come home.

There are things
that I need to say to you,

face-to-face.

They're keeping her
at Lefortovo,

but I think I found
some vulnerabilities.

Where are we going?

Ma'am, I'd sit back
and get comfortable.

Ms. Walker...

I'm Gary.

I'd like to welcome you
to Bluebonnet Farm.

This is an Agency
safe facility.

A safe facility?

We're gonna get you
up to speed,

and you're gonna get us
up to speed

regarding the events
in Russia.

I'd like to go to Langley.

We'll build up to that.

We brought you
some of your things from home.

Can I get you some coffee,
maybe some juice?

No, thanks.
I don't want any juice.

Have a seat.

Over the next few days
and weeks,

we'll be doing timelines,
we'll be doing polygraphs,

and we'll talk.

And if I act contrite enough,
I get to go back to my desk.

Do you have something
to be contrite about?

No.

I've done nothing wrong.

Didn't you fall in love
with Simon Fischer?

You asked me
if I did anything wrong.

Did you love him?

Yes.

I loved him.

So you were unable to separate
your professional life

from your personal one.

The CIA has asked me
that question before.

Both then and now,
it feels like an indictment.

The truth is the CIA needs me
to blur those lines,

and I am very good at it.

You didn't answer
the question.

My mission was to make
my professional life

my personal one...

and my personal life
professional.

Thank you.

There's a been a slight
change of plans.

Walker.

Auggie.

They treat you okay
down at Bluebonnet?

Come here.

Why was I only there
two hours?

No idea.
But take solace.

The entire building's
been under review.

Our polygraphs
have been so long

we've been taking meal breaks
in the middle.

Feels like you're here,

but you haven't really
come back to earth yet.

Give me the secret.

After Iraq, you came back
into this building

like it was an ordinary day.

I did walk back
into the building

and then into a column.

But you adjust.

You learn to avoid columns.

But there was something
you wanted to tell me...

something important,
face-to-face.

You should settle in first.

Annie.
Good.

We have a developing situation.
We're going to code orange.

What?

Oh, this creeps me out
when we have uncleared visitors.

Who, who's here?

Rivka, welcome.

- Thank you.
- Nice to see you.

- You too.
- Follow me.

- Everyone, please, have a seat.
- Thank you.

Rivka Singer,
Eyal Lavin...

welcome to the CIA.
Thank you.

How can we be of assistance?

Let me remind you we were
of assistance to you first.

What is it you'd like
to discuss?

Yesterday,
one of our assets--

a Swiss national
by the name of Karina Vost--

has gone missing
on American soil.

And we would like
the CIA's help to locate her.

How?

Access to the CIA's
voice-recognition

tracking capability.

We know you have the power

to tap into your nation's
telecommunications grid.

Yes.

Let me be clear.

This is not a favor.
It's a trade.

You assist us
in locating Miss Vost,

and the Mossad will share
her intel with you.

And what kind of intel
would we be getting?

Our asset is
a flight concierge

for a private
aviation company.

She works a charter flight
between D.C. and Riyadh

full of Saudi oil executives.

We turned her.

We gave her
an NFC-enabled watch

that can pull data
off of any device.

Surely,
the CIA must be curious

about what files
are on that watch.

What do you think happened
to your asset?

I mean, why do you think
she went missing?

Miss Walker,

our primary concern
is to get that watch back

and the intelligence on it.

Which you will share with us.

Of course.

Of course.

Please know how happy we are

to be continuing our fruitful
partnership with Mossad.

Is there
any other information--

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming here?

Aren't endless debriefs
like a religion in your Agency?

I thought you'd be
out of touch for weeks

on some farm
in the country.

You watch too many movies.

Introduce me to your friend
with the grand plan.

I think we should meet.

Auggie, are you busy?

I'm the only one here
who can work without a screen,

so, yes.

I just need a minute.

I wanted to introduce you
to Eyal Lavin.

Hey. Oh!
Hello.

It is so great
to finally meet you.

Yeah.
Uh, August Anderson.

Thanks for helping us out.

You know, I have to confess

that after weeks of coded text
and encrypted emails,

one forms a picture
in one's mind.

You didn't think
I'd be blind.

I didn't think
you'd be this short.

Well, I didn't think
you'd be this handsome.

I like you, Auggie Anderson.

I'll try to take that
as a compliment.

Eyal, we should get going.

Annie...
a moment, please.

James will escort you out.

Very good.

Right this way.

Annie.

- Welcome back.
- Am I back?

Provisionally.

For now, you're cleared
to come here and go home.

Later, you'll have
to follow CIA protocol

and go through the many layers
of reintroduction.

You'll have to finish
your debrief,

shutter your safe house,

and coordinate
with the cover office

to find a new NOC.

I no longer work
for the Smithsonian?

I don't know
where they'll place you.

Come in.

Eyal couldn't negotiate this
with me on his own.

That's the only reason
Rivka came here with him.

Mossad chose Eyal,
and so you chose me.

There's nobody better than you
when it comes to handling him.

"Handling him"?

Since Lena, the Agency
has been in damage control.

We're rethinking
how we do business...

even with our closest friends.

Meaning?

I want you to work
with Eyal,

then bring the watch
back here

but don't share the intel
with him.

He risked his life for me,
and you want me to repay him

by lying and blocking
his mission?

Annie, it's prudent to assume

they have
another agenda at play.

So all that talk
about fruitful partnership--

that was a lie?
- That's good politicking.

- I'm not a politician.
- No, you're a spy.

Welcome back.

Listen, uh...

you know, just because I saved
you out of a Russian prison

doesn't mean you owe me
anything.

I didn't say I did.

Why not? I saved you
out of a Russian prison.

And I'm helping to save
one of your assets.

Voice recognition
put her in room 412.

That's a pretty invasive
technology for the CIA.

You wanted our help.

No, I mean it
as a compliment.

Karina?

Karina?

Karina?

It's okay.
You can come out.

You're not Israeli.

Are you feeling okay?

Just nerves, I guess.

Who are you?
She's with me.

And I am Mossad.

Come on.

Sit down.
Tell us what happened.

My purse was stolen.

Then I came home
to find my house in shambles.

Nothing was taken,

so someone was searching
for something they didn't find.

I think it was that weird man
who came up to me on the plane.

What'd he look like?

Dark hair, strong jaw,
muscles.

He asked me
all these questions

about how I started working
for Horizon Jet

and the kinds
of people I meet.

And also...

Have you ever been offered
other kinds of work?

I don't know what you mean.

I thought
he was just being creepy.

But...

now I am afraid.

What if he knows
I was working with Mossad?

Who was he traveling with?

I don't know.
I can't...

I want to be done.

I want out.
No.

We need you in the field.

This is not
what I signed up for.

I was supposed to wear
a fancy watch

and then just go about my job--
that's all.

You knew the risks involved
when you accepted our money.

I don't care
about the money anymore!

Please.

I know there is something
called an exit package.

Never heard of it.

You can't decide
when you want to leave?

You can decide.

It would just be easier
for us to help you...

if you gave us the watch.

The watch is my only leverage.

We'll give you
half a million.

You're not listening.
I just want--

Are you all right?

Karina?

Karina?

Is she dead?

We were able to remove the body

without the FBI catching wind.

Tech Ops is currently
drilling down

on Karina's flight manifest
for leads.

Well, that's now
beside the point.

- You promised to help us.
- And we did.

Our asset dies on your soil,

and we still don't have
our intel.

The medical examiner said
she was poisoned 24 hours ago.

That's before
we were involved.

Really?
Well, forgive us for feeling

that you have not upheld
your side of the bargain.

Is there anything
that Mossad could share with us

about the intel
on that watch?

Maybe if we had
some specific leads--

Ms. Walker, those questions
are inappropriate,

and they are not helpful.

As far as I can tell,

your fieldwork at best
is unpredictable.

At worst, it is reckless.
Hey!

Don't talk to her that way.

Excuse me?

She's just trying to make
the best of a bad situation.

If you want to yell
at somebody, yell at me.

Oh, that can be arranged.

All I meant was that
just because we lost the asset

doesn't mean
we've lost the intel.

We can still continue
the mission.

Prove it.

I will call you as soon
as we speak to Tech Ops.

You wanted to see me?

Annie, come on in.

Well, you've done
a great service for this Agency.

Thank you.

Now, we're gonna be
presenting you

with the Intelligence
Medal of Merit.

Are you familiar
with that award?

That's the award
with the cash payment.

Yes.

What am I supposed
to take away from all this?

That you've done something
important for this agency

and for this nation
at great personal risk.

Please sit down.

You closed a circle.

And Simon Fischer died.

I mean...

we didn't get to debrief him.

I know it's hard.

But these awards
are part of our culture.

And we need to recognize
our heroes,

if only to each other.

It's our way of saying
thank you.

We're proud of you.

And I'm not the only one
who's relieved that you're home.

Joan is shy
about expressing emotions.

But she was deeply distraught
while you were in Russia.

And it means a great deal
to her that you're home...

and safe.

I appreciate hearing that.

- Annie's come home.
- I heard.

Congratulations.

Seth, I see her falling

into all the same patterns
I did.

Listen, maybe you can talk
to her about this.

How can I do that

without compromising
my position?

Your position as what--
as her manager?

As a constant.

I would like to be
the one thing in her life

that's not changing.

You are going
to reach Annie, okay?

She's not gonna be
in the shadows alone.

I hope not.

- You got news for me?
- Who do you see on my screen?

He looks like the guy from
the plane Karina was describing.

It says "Agency trained."

Is he a private
security officer?

Yes.
Griffin Cole is his name.

He's ex-CIA.

He's one of those guys who still
games the Agency for access

while he makes a mint
in the private sector.

- He's a green badge?
- More like a black badge.

Okay, so what do we know?
Does he have a kill pattern?

Ricin.

She probably didn't even
feel the prick.

But I'm still
burying the lead.

Griffin Cole now works
for this guy.

Is that who I think it is?

Do you think
it's Khalid Ansari,

son of one of the most powerful
oil men in Saudi Arabia?

- I do.
- Then, yes.

- I got to talk to Joan.
- Mm-hmm.

Mossad is using us
to spy on Khalid Ansari.

Now do you understand
why we can't trust them?

- Is Khalid an asset?
- Worse.

He's a friend
of the State Department.

His dad plays golf
with the vice president.

He's untouchable.

Even more reason
for a counter play.

No, I am calling this off.

The only reason I agreed to this
is because we owed Mossad.

Right, you agreed.

And now they're here
on our soil

spying on our ally.

Don't you want to know why?

Do you think Eyal
will tell you?

I think there's more
to discover than just the watch.

I think I can find out
what Eyal's after

and get to the intel first.

What if he gets
to it first?

You said you put me on this

because I'm good
at handling Eyal.

Let me handle him.

That's fine.

My concern is that
he's handling you.

He isn't.

He won't.

Okay.

Since this whole thing
is hush-hush,

I can't use my guy
at Metro police

to get traffic photos.

So we may have very carefully
hacked into their system.

Don't worry.
They'll never know.

I have no doubt.

So this is the last place
she visited yesterday morning.

You don't happen to see a sign
reading "watch buried here,"

do you?

That'd be nice.

You know
that if metaphorical sunshine

were allowed on this one,

I'd have an entire team
out there.

We could dig up that whole area,
call it a parks project.

But the State Department
would start buzzing.

I know.

Any chance this thing
you gave me

is some sort
of magical metal detector?

No. Sorry.

It's just a regular one.

- Auggie, I got to go.
- Yeah.

How did you find me?
I checked my tail.

I had a GPS tracking device
in my pocket.

It must've fallen out
when I riding in your car.

Uhhuh.

I would've called you
if I'd found anything.

Oh, absolutely--
as would I.

Does Mossad have any idea

what kind of intel is
on this watch?

The mission is
to retrieve the watch.

That is all.

- Who's the target?
- You tell me.

Khalid Ansari.

Why is Mossad
investigating him?

Your nation
is its own worst enemy

when it comes
to Saudi Arabia.

You can't allow yourself
to see anything bad

when oil is involved.

That may be true
of my nation.

But this is me asking.

We believe he's using
a series of charities

as terror fronts.

What's on the watch--

his travel details,
his bank accounts, Rolodex?

All of the above?

Like I said before,

the mission is to retrieve
the watch...

not to spin theories.

Okay.

Let's retrieve it.

What does that open?

It doesn't open anything.

You know, at Mossad,

when you return home
after surviving capture,

they throw you a feast
in the desert.

What does CIA do?

Pay you off.

There's something here.

Ha ha.

Tech int believe
Karina rented a box

at a private bank
in Alexandria.

So we open the box.

We can't break into a bank

to access a personal
safety deposit box.

American laws--
they're so baffling.

Let me rephrase.

We can't use
full agency resources

to break into a bank
without involving

the FBI or Homeland Security.

And if we do that,

our ability
to operate discreetly vanishes.

I can go in.

How do you propose
to do that?

We're roughly the same age,
and I have her key.

If I learn her personal details
and her signature,

who's to say
it's not my account?

We cannot support
that approach.

CIA would have privileged access
to whatever's inside.

Are you suggested
we'd keep something from you?

No, Joan.

This is a partnership,
but, uh...

we would be most grateful
for some reassurance.

We can wire her.

You'll be able
to maintain contact.

But not in the vault.

Those things are like cages.
It's no place for a spy.

I know what I'm doing.

Annie, think
about what you're saying.

You want to pretend
to be someone

who was just killed
for this intel.

I don't think
she was killed for the intel.

He poisoned her
because he believed

she was a spy for Mossad.

Taking the purse
is just good trade craft

so he can find out
what she's really after and why.

Where are you going
with this?

To rent a safety deposit box,
you have to pay for it.

That means receipts
and credit cards.

All that could've been
in the purse.

How long do you think
it'll take

for him to get
to the bank himself?

We can't keep standing around
discussing this.

We have to act.
Yeah, but not recklessly.

You said it yourself.

He may be monitoring
the bank,

waiting for some young woman
to show up with a key.

He's right, Annie.

The risks
are not insignificant.

This is our best shot
at finding the intel.

Isn't that right?

Mossad will provide the wire.

That way, each partner
can do his part.

Good.

I got the answer from him.

Mossad believes Khalid is
moving money through charities

to terror organizations.

Hmm.

The watch contains
his schedule, Rolodex,

and bank details.

I figured he'd tell you
something like that--

tease you with
the most potent piece of intel.

I believe him.

Okay. Well, we'll find out
soon enough--

as soon as you bring
that intel back.

In the meantime,

Karina's signature and details
are on file for you to memorize.

- I'll be right in.
- Okay.

Wow, first day back's
turned into night?

I have to learn this
by tomorrow.

So...

I guess beer's
out of the question.

Unfortunately.

It's been a strange day.

This morning I was being
debriefed at a horse farm,

unsure if I still had a job.

I've been ushered back

and told I'm getting
a medal tomorrow.

- That's good.
- Is it?

Let's discuss that
over beers...

Just not tonight.

Welcome home, Walker.

- Hi.
- I've been looking for you.

I had a meeting
at Persia House.

Oh, your assistant said
you've been off campus.

It's been a busy day.

Was that Seth Newman?

Uh...

I didn't see.

Oh.

Well, I'll see you
at the house.

Wait.
Did you want something?

Oh, the engraver
for Annie's award

had a style question.

Beth helped me out.
Okay.

I'll see you later.

See you later.

- Good evening.
- Hi.

Uh, I'd like a room, please.
Of course.

How many nights?

I'll be staying
for a while.

- Good morning, Miss.
- Good morning.

My name's Karina Vost.

I'd like access
to my safe deposit box.

Just a moment.

Birth date and place, please.

October 31, 1981,
Lugano, Switzerland.

I was raised here, though.

I see.
Account number?

785-5...

4-3-2...

11-86.

Thank you.

And sign here, please.

Oh, there seems to be
a problem.

I don't understand.

The signature doesn't match.

- Oh, let me try again.
- Sure.

Go ahead.

Thank you, Ms. Vost.
Follow me.

Box 4-2-5, please.

Here's the key.

I'll give you some privacy

and be back in a minute
to check on you.

Thank you.

That doesn't belong to you.

How did you get in here?

Just give it to me--

whatever you just took
out of that box.

It's just money.
I left it all inside.

You don't think I know how
to tap into a bank camera feed?

There are holes
in your plan.

You'll never get out of here.

There's a man--
I'm guessing Mossad--

waiting outside.

He's not my only backup.

I trained at the farm too.

If CIA wanted a big party,
there'd be one.

Now hand it over.

No.

Hey!

Help!

Help!

Help!

- What's going on?
- Open the door.

Hurry!

What are you doing
for Khalid?

He's gone, Eyal.

How did he even get in there?

He must've found a hole
in the security

or paid someone off or--
Those are just theories.

Yeah, they're just theories.
But it doesn't matter now.

He didn't succeed.
Well, he's got the watch.

Will you just
wait a second?

No. It could take years before
we get intel on Khalid again.

Eyal!

I've tried firewalls

and keeping layers of secrets
from people close to me,

and it didn't work out
so well.

What does that mean?

I mean this belongs
to both of us.

Ann Catherine Walker...

please accept this award
on behalf of a grateful agency.

Thank you.

Sir...

I know I'm not allowed
to keep this.

I'll make sure it's safe.
Congrats again.

Annie.

I, um...

I thought you might like to know
we're tracking Griffin Cole,

and I'm confident
we'll find him.

Good.

And the analysts are already
combing through the intel

on that watch.

Okay.

Maybe it seemed callous

that I didn't want you
to share it with Eyal.

I'm sure
you had your reasons.

There were
intelligence reasons, yes,

but there were
other reasons too.

I...

I see how close
the two of you are.

We've run a lot
of missions together.

And I know that kinship
can be comforting,

but he works
for a competing service, Annie.

I understand that.

And I just didn't want to see
this becoming a pattern.

What I mean is...

the people you can count on
are here.

Thanks for the award.

Good night, Auggie.

Hey, Tommy,
have you seen Annie?

I think
she just headed home.

Okay, thanks.

What are you doing here?

Well, uh...

Hotels are depressing,
Neshema.

I have something better.

Go get your bag.

I'll wait for you here.

Hi, everybody.

My name is Alison.
I'm an addict.

Hi, Alison.

I have faithfully served
the Central Intelligence Agency

for 16 years.

And it is filled
with my friends.

But the people in this room
are my family.

I'm so grateful
for these meetings

to be able to share
our struggles in the shadows.

I know this trick.

I pulled an apartment
out of a hat

to fool someone once too.

There's no trick.

This is my place in D.C.

You can stay here

until you get yourself
back on your feet.

Eyal, it's too much.

I won't get in your way.

There are fresh sheets
on the bed,

there's food in the fridge,
and, uh...

I've got a flight to catch.

Well, wait.

Stay and eat with me first.

All right.

But I'm cooking.

Hey, Walker, you home?

So how long before
your supervisors realize

you shared your intel
with us?

I don't know.
I don't care.

They paired us together
because we work well together.

They can't have it
both ways.

I'm impressed.

You're learning
to work your agency,

show them
you can't be pushed around.

You had me, you know.

When Griffin was running away,

you could've kept that watch
for yourself.

Why share it with Mossad?

I didn't share it
with Mossad.

I shared it with you.

Good night, Annie.
