Original subtitles

- [Joe] Previously on "Condor".

- You're not gonna break me.

- Challenge accepted.

- Ma'am?

It's about CHS Phoenix.

He sent up an SOS.

My people are onto me.

I'm being watched.

Requesting asylum.

- Senator Thrush is pursuing an obstruction

of justice charge against you.

Someone gave a sealed deposition.

- Hello?

- We're going to war.

- With a 17 year old boy?

- [Reuel] And the mother.

- I'm ready.

- Did you find Vasili?

Are you all right?

- Vasili's not in a very trusting mood just yet.

- Doesn't he know who the mole is?

Isn't that what started all this?

- [Joe] He was bluffing.

He said he knew that there was a mole, just not who it is.

His friend, Arcadiy Volk, told him.

- You told Sirin about me.

- We should talk about it.

- I'm done talking.

You just about got me burned.

- We need to get to Volk.

- It's not possible.

- It's the only way.

He's the only one who knows the identity of the mole.

- You won't get near him.

- I think I know someone who can.

I need your help.

(soft dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

- [Robin] Lior's business is financed by the Kremlin.

- [Tracy] He took money from them.

- [Robin] He's an SVR asset.

- [Tracy] I didn't do this to you.

You did this to yourself.

- [Robin] Frankly, the only part I'm having

a hard time believing is how anybody could be such a loser.

- [Eva] What did you do, Gordon?

Gordon, what the fuck did you do?

(soft dramatic music)

(door buzzing)

(soft dramatic music)

- [Agent] Let's go, Piper.

(soft dramatic music)

- You guys keep asking the same questions.

I keep giving the same answers.

Isn't that how Einstein defined insanity?

Just because you drag me out of bed

in the middle of the night-

- Give it a rest, man.

Your wife is here.

(soft dramatic music)

- Don't fuck in there.

- Baby, what happened to your face?

- No, I-

- [Eva] What'd you do to him?

- He didn't do anything.

- Did you hit him? - He didn't hit me.

- Who hit you?

- Baby, leave it alone.

- We'd like some privacy, please.

- [Agent] You've got five minutes.

- You okay?

- How are you even here right now?

- [Eva] Sidney called in some favors.

- [Gordon] Jesus.

What'd you tell the kids?

- That you were working.

It's not like I could've told them much else

since I've got no fucking clue what's going on.

Gordon, what the fuck is going on?

- They think I'm spying for the Russians.

- Did you tell them they're wrong?

- [Gordon] Yes.

- [Eva] Did you tell them they're fucking stupid

and they should have their collective head examined?

- [Gordon] How do you know I didn't do it?

- Gordon.

I know you.

You are not a liar and you are not a cheat.

- I took money from a guy

who works for Russian Intelligence.

- Did you know that he worked for Russian Intelligence?

- No.

He offered me a job.

I asked him to advance me some money.

- You mean he set you up.

- Yeah.

I'm just so tired of fucking up.

- [Eva] Gordon, you need to listen to me.

Despite what you think,

I have never, ever lost faith in you.

- [Gordon] How much longer do you think

you can keep that up for?

- For fucking ever, okay.

You do not get to go to your dark place.

I need you here.

I need you with me.

- If I don't go to jail for accepting money

from a foreign intelligence agent,

which is a big fucking if,

I'll never get a job again.

My reputation is permanently ruined.

- Honey, it is not gonna come to that, okay?

Sidney already said the reason that they've kept this quiet

is because they don't have the evidence to charge you.

They're on a fucking fishing expedition.

Okay?

Now, we are getting you outta here

and we are gonna sue the shit out of these motherfuckers.

What?

- We're gonna sue the government?

- Yes, we are gonna sue everybody, babe.

Everybody.

- How are you even doing this right now?

Where is this energy coming from?

- Gordon, my love for you is a very fucking powerful thing.

All right?

And anybody who messes with that better watch their ass.

Okay?

Now, we are fighting for you out there.

Now, you gotta promise me that you are fighting in here.

You tell me you're gonna fight, Gordon.

- I'm gonna fight.

- [Eva] Yeah?

- Fuck yeah.

- Good.

- [Agent] Let's go.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Gordon] I'm sorry for putting you through all this.

- [Eva] This?

I can do this standing on my head.

- [Gordon] You're amazing.

I don't deserve you.

- Yes, you fucking do.

(soft dramatic music)

I love you.

- You know I love you.

(soft dramatic music)

(door beeping)

(soft dramatic music)

That's my fucking wife.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Tracy] Did you ever think

that maybe Russians are setting Gordon up?

- [Joe] It's the same photo from Bob's office.

What if it was put there as a plant?

- You got Gordon served to you on a silver platter

by a single source inside the SVR

whose identity is known only by you?

- I feel like they know.

- [Tracy] Maybe you were the one who was approached.

- Fuck.

(soft dramatic music)

- Well, she's coming.

- [Vasili] How'd you get her to agree to that?

- I told her to come hear what we had to say

and if she didn't like it, we could part as friends.

(soft dramatic music)

And I said if she didn't come, I'd show up at her office.

(soft dramatic music)

- That was stupid.

- Yeah well, I guess that's just where we're at.

(soft dramatic music)

- Maybe she's not coming.

Or maybe she's not coming to talk.

- Think she'd do that?

- She's not someone you want as your enemy.

- You're scared she's gonna hold my actions against you.

- I just told you what I'm scared of.

(soft dramatic music)

I had this whole plan in my mind about how this would all go

and now looking back it all seems so naive.

- Happens to me all the time.

- Yet we continue to make plans.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Volk] Your girlfriend fall asleep?

- You trying to give me a heart attack, man?

- I wasn't sure if this would be

a negotiation or a gunfight.

Figured I'd better see you first.

- Is that how bad things have gotten between us?

- Last time we spoke, you dictated the terms

of your retirement to me via blackmail.

- And you got drunk and told Vasili Sirin you had an asset

operating inside the CIA.

- I made a mistake.

I trusted Vasili like a brother,

but I never told him your name.

My loyalties are unchanging.

- You know, it doesn't seem fair that the man

who recruited me to be a double agent

would criticize me for disloyalty.

Did you think we were gonna do this forever?

What was the point of killing Partridge

and setting up Gordon if I'm not free to live my life?

Just tell me what I need to do to be done and I'll do it.

- Isn't it obvious?

There's an extremely resourceful man

whose life is on the line and the only way he can save it

is by discovering who you are

and selling that information to the Americans.

Neither one of us will be safe until he's eliminated.

(soft dramatic music)

(hand knocking)

- She says she helped me against her better judgment.

- You too.

I could've killed you in the woods.

- Oh yeah?

Why didn't you?

- Because I had a soft spot for this one,

but it hardened overnight.

- [Joe] Your boss framed an innocent man.

- Innocent to whom?

You are not on my side.

Neither is Piper.

- So he wasn't on your side?

So I'm right?

Gordon isn't the mole.

So who is?

- I don't know who it is.

It's the truth.

Volk doesn't trust me with that.

I don't think he trusts me at all.

- I need to find out who it is.

- Then you should ask him yourself.

- I'm ready to do that.

- [Kat] You will never get near him.

- You don't even know what my plan is yet.

- She says you're suicidal.

She said-

- Yeah, I know what she said.

Listen.

- I'm done listening to you.

- Then listen to yourself.

- [Vasili] She says she helped me

against her better judgment.

- [Kat] You too.

I could've killed you in the woods.

- [Joe] Oh yeah?

Why didn't you?

- Because I had a soft spot for this one,

but it hardened overnight.

I should kill you.

- If you don't help us, then this goes

to the Russian Embassy in 24 hours.

You were right.

We're not on the same team.

This was a helpful reminder.

- You are punching way about your weight class.

How?

- We lure Volk to a secure location, we kidnap him,

and then we force the identity of the mole out of him

by any means necessary.

- I thought you were going to try something crazy.

You said hear me out.

If you don't like what I have to say, we'll part as friends.

It turns out I don't like what you have to say.

- Well, I'm afraid I lied to you.

- [Kat] Well then, why should I trust you now?

- 'Cause you don't have a choice.

What you have is 23 hours and 59 minutes.

(soft dramatic music)

Goodnight.

(soft dramatic music)

(woman screaming)

(phone buzzing) (soft dramatic music)

- Hello, Peter.

(soft dramatic music)

Jesus.

How?

(soft dramatic music)

When are they going to print?

Oh, fuck me.

Can we stop it?

(soft dramatic music) (dog barking)

(phone buzzing) (soft dramatic music)

- [Tracy] It's Tracy.

Leave a message.

- Somebody leaked the story to the press.

Everything is upside fucking down.

I have lost control.

I need my sounding board.

Where the fuck are you?

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

- [Mae] Tracy?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Where did you go?

- I, sorry.

I had a work thing.

Listen.

- No, it doesn't matter.

We have to leave.

- What?

- Sammy was arrested.

(phone ringing)

Sammy?

Are you okay?

Are you sure?

Okay, good.

Listen to me.

Everything is gonna be fine, okay?

I'm gonna handle this.

I'm gonna pick you up from Nana's later.

Just, could you put Nana back on?

I love you, too.

Mom, listen.

I, no, we don't need a lawyer.

Okay, I just, I need you to go into my closet

and get the shoebox out of the right side.

There's a little black phone book inside of it.

No, it was Sam's.

I need you to get Reuel Abbott's contact information

and call me back.

- Hey.

Hey.

Get up.

- Where are we going?

- We gotta get out of here in case Ekaterina decides

there are more expedient paths than cooperation.

- Where are we gonna go?

- A friend of mine is out of town

and her kids are at their grandma's.

- Sounds like a fairytale.

- You look like shit.

You all right?

- I'm fine.

(hand knocking)

- Lights, please.

(soft music)

(phone ringing) (soft music)

(soft music)

- Get up.

Gonna be late.

(soft music)

(phone ringing) (soft music)

Hey, Rhea.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Agent 1] I think I missed my true calling as an artist.

- [Agent 2] You don't think it's fucked up

we're torturing him like this?

- Boss wants to fuck with him.

I wanna make the boss happy.

- That's probably what they said at Abu Ghraib.

- This isn't Abu Ghraib.

- Not yet.

Somebody fucked up.

No one was supposed to know about this shit.

Why are you smiling like that?

(soft dramatic music)

- Oh, hi.

It's Eva Piper calling for Senator Thrush.

(hand knocking)

- [Aide] Eva Piper calling.

- I'm not here.

(soft dramatic music)

- Okay ah, I understand.

Can you just tell her that I'm around

whenever she has the time?

It's very important.

- [Carla] Mr. Abbott's office.

- It's Robin Larkin calling for him.

- Oh, I don't have Mr. Abbott for you right now, Ms. Larkin.

- Tell him I know he planted the Piper story.

- I'm sorry?

- There's no one else who could've done it.

- Why would Mr. Abbott leak a story that makes us look bad

and you and your department look good?

- I don't know.

That's the part that fucking scares me.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Agent 1] Morning, Boss.

- [Agent 2] Guy's fucking dying in there, Boss.

(soft dramatic music)

- You showed him the newspaper.

- Yeah.

(soft dramatic music)

- Who the fuck told you to do that?

(soft dramatic music)

Go.

(soft dramatic music)

(phone ringing) (soft dramatic music)

Where the fuck are you?

(phone ringing) (soft dramatic music)

- Mr. Abbott's office.

- It's Mae Barber.

Is he there?

- [Carla] I am sorry, Mrs. Barber.

He's not in today.

- Tell Reuel that I got his message loud and clear

and to please call me back.

- Okay, Mrs. Barber.

(dial tone humming) (soft dramatic music)

- You know, I'd be losing my shit right now

if you weren't here.

- Yeah?

- We make a good team.

- I think so, too.

- Do you know the secret to making a great omelet?

- Breaking a few eggs?

- Low heat.

(phone buzzing)

Oh shoot.

(phone buzzing)

Yes, Carla.

- Mae Barber and Robin Larkin both called.

- Tell them I'll call them both back, okay?

Anything else?

- [Carla] Miss Larkin seemed to think

you were behind the Piper.

- Is this typical behavior for you?

Taking days off, not returning phone calls?

- No, and my assistant must be very perplexed.

- You're a strange bird, Reuel Abbott.

- Thank you.

- People our age are generally pretty set in their ways.

- Well, it's your fault.

You make me want to be another person.

- Well, that kind of scares me.

- Why?

- Because the person you already are

has great responsibilities.

And you seem willing to put those on hold

for a woman you've only just met.

- She's a very special woman.

- I like you a lot, but I'm worried

that you're going through something

that has nothing to do with me.

- Oh, you're worried about me.

May I show you something?

Yes, that is me.

I'm at the Yale Divinity School.

It's where I was recruited.

- [Holly] Divinity?

- Mm hm.

Well, I actually wanted to be a pastor.

- Really? - Mm hm.

You sound surprised.

Well, you know I was.

I was actually a conscientious objector.

I wanted to be the next William Sloane Coffin.

- Well, why'd you join the CIA?

- I was inspired by the civil rights movement.

Don't laugh.

Oh, yes.

It sounds perverse, I know,

but I actually I could see the social change

that was happening in America

and I wanted to bring those human rights

to the rest of the world.

So, here I am marching.

I wore cowboy boots for abut five years.

I wanted to be taller so I wore cowboy boots.

And I just I absolutely destroyed my feet.

So actually, I'm really not becoming someone else.

I'm reconnecting with the person that I once was.

And I thought it was important that I show you this and.

Well, marching again.

Now, may I feed you?

- Yes.

- I've got the bags.

- [Eva] Oh, thank you.

- Boys here?

- Nah, I've gotta go pick them up from my mom's.

(soft dramatic music)

Jesus.

(soft dramatic music)

Did you know about this?

(soft dramatic music)

Is it true?

- I don't know.

I don't think so, but...

I don't know.

- This is what you and Joe have been doing?

- Can't get anything past a spy's wife, huh?

- Or a spy fucker.

(soft dramatic music)

- Hey.

This is work and it is a very complicated case.

(garage door humming) (soft dramatic music)

- [Mae] Hey.

- What're you doing here?

- I live here.

- [Joe] You said you were out of town.

- [Mae] Yeah, we came back early.

- Are the kids here?

- There's at my mom's.

What's going on?

- Mae, we needed somewhere to go.

- We?

- [Joe] My friend is sick.

He has an infection in his leg.

- [Mae] So take him to a hospital.

- [Joe] He can't go to a hospital.

- So you brought him here?

- I didn't know where else to take him, okay.

You said you were going to be out of town.

I'm sorry.

He's not doing well.

- This must be Basil?

(soft dramatic music)

- Please.

(soft dramatic music)

- What did you bring into my home?

(soft dramatic music)

- You really think you can trust this woman

to betray her own people?

I mean, you don't even know her.

- I don't have a choice, but neither does she.

I think.

I think she'll do it.

- And in your mind, where does this all get staged?

- Oh.

I don't know.

I don't suppose you've got

a spare safe house kicking around, do you?

- I might.

I could help.

- I can't put anyone else in danger.

- Gordon is a friend of mine.

If he's being set up,

I wanna do everything I can to help him.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I gave him an antibiotic and a tranquilizer,

so he'll be out for awhile.

- Okay.

- I'm gonna call my mom and ask her

to keep the kids again tonight.

Do you wanna help me get him downstairs?

- Of course.

(phone ringing)

- Hey.

- [Kat] I will do what you asked.

- Stay by the phone.

I'll be in touch.

(soft music)

(soft dramatic music)

(soft dramatic music)

(phone buzzing)

(soft dramatic music)

- Hello?

- I know where Vasili Sirin's gonna be tomorrow.

Stay by your phone.

There's a woman, one of yours.

She's helping him.

- I'm aware.

(soft dramatic music)

(phone buzzing) (soft dramatic music)

- Ugh.

Where the fuck have you been?

- [Tracy] I told you I was going out of town

for a couple of days.

I just got back.

- I got played.

- By who?

- Reuel and the Russians

and probably a bunch of other people.

Phoenix is fucking gone.

Probably dead.

Definitely my fault.

Abbott leaked the story to the press,

which means he wanted it out there which

means I walked right into a set up and he let me.

- You're saying Abbot is concealing evidence

that proves Gordon is innocent?

- [Robin] Look, I know that Gordon is your friend,

but right now I could really use a friend.

- Where are you?

- I'm at my house.

- [Tracy] I'm on my way.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Eva] Where the hell is he?

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Barber.

He's out of pocket until Monday.

- Well, call him at home.

This is a personal matter.

I need to speak to him today.

- [Carla] I really am sorry, Mrs. Barber, I-

- God.

Dammit.

- [Joe] Is everything all right?

- No, your friend's gonna be okay.

- [Joe] Thank you.

- You've gotta get him out of here as soon as possible.

- I will.

- [Eva] I've got my own shit to deal with.

- I promise.

(soft dramatic music)

(dog barking) (soft dramatic music)

- I'm fucked, Trace.

- You're not fucked.

- I am so fucking fucked.

- You are not.

You're not fucking fucked.

Come on, let's have a drink.

Tell me everything.

Let's start from the beginning.

- Okay.

- What I'm hearing is a lot of speculation.

We don't know that Gordon was set up

and we don't know that you were set up.

- You said it yourself from the start.

They used Phoenix to feed me Gordon.

You were right.

- You said that Phoenix is paranoid.

- Yeah.

- Well maybe he can't reach out right now.

Look, I'm just saying there's no sense

in us getting all spun out, okay?

We just need to relax so that we can think clearly.

(glasses clinking)

- Holy shit.

Holy shit.

- Well, it's the one thing I know how to do in the kitchen.

- That's your second best room.

- Do you know what I think?

- What do you think?

- I think we should go away together.

(doorbell ringing)

Well, maybe if we pretend we're not here,

whoever it is will just leave.

(doorbell ringing)

- Maybe we're being attacked by North Korea, Reuel.

(hand knocking)

- Don't let your eggs get cold.

(hand knocking)

- Drop the charges.

- Oh, this is a terrible time, Mae.

- You found out that I spoke to Senator Thrush

and you had him arrested.

- No, he.

Sam was arrested because he sent SWAT team to my home.

- I'll call Sidney Thrust right now

and recant every word that I said.

I'll tell her that I was lying.

I will do whatever you want.

- What I want is for you to leave.

- He is 17.

- I would like you to leave this house

and come back tomorrow, please.

- Fuck you.

I am not leaving until you tell me that we have a deal.

- Okay, we have a deal.

- Swear on Melanie's soul.

- I swear on Melanie's soul.

- You better hope she's not watching.

- Oh my God.

Mae, I've behaved unconscionably to you and your family.

Mae, I deeply regret it.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

I just am so sorry you had to hear that.

- Whatever you do, just tell me the truth.

- I had Mae's son arrested

because he sent a SWAT team to my home.

I could've been killed.

- It sounds like you had him arrested

as an act of retaliation.

Retaliation against what?

- Well, I threatened his mother to protect,

well a very sensitive operation,

and really I shouldn't be talking about this.

It's classified information, but she's trying to go public.

- So, all that horrible shit I read about you online.

It's all true?

- I've done some terrible, terrible things.

Just.

But.

I was always doing it in the belief

that it was for the greater good.

But.

I was wrong and knowing you is.

It's really it's.

It's made me wanna reexamine my life.

I wanna go back to the person I was.

- I strongly suggest you do that.

- Please.

- [Holly] I really am sorry.

- Please, Holly, please.

Please, Holly.

Holly.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Agent] Hasn't touched his food all day.

- Yeah?

- Look at him in there.

He hasn't even moved.

Think we should call her?

- And tell her what?

The prisoner is sad?

(soft music)

- You know, when I was in Athens, I was riding high.

I could see around fucking corners.

Then a piano fell on my head.

I'm just saying that the real bad shit

that happens to you is not the shit you're worried about.

It's the shit that you could've never imagined coming.

- You're not really making me feel much better.

- You know what a regret is?

It's wishing you could change something that's unchangeable?

Now, isn't that stupid?

- You don't have any regrets?

- What's the point?

You made your choice.

Now, what's the next play?

Why beat yourself up over something

that's already been done?

- Good point.

Thanks.

- [Tracy] That's why I'm here.

- Don't ever leave again.

- Ah.

Speaking of which, I do have to go

and take care of something.

You gonna be okay?

- Yeah.

Go.

- All right.

- Get outta here.

But.

Hey.

You're a good friend, Trace.

- Well, you're a good friend to be a good friend to.

Let's see how this Gordon stuff plays out, huh.

The truth always comes out in the end.

- [Robin] Yeah.

- Give Phoenix time.

- I will.

- She'll reach out when she feels she can.

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'm just spinning out over nothing.

Thank you.

Thanks again.

You okay?

- I said she, didn't I?

- What the fuck, Trace?

- Listen, Robin.

- No, come on.

No.

Ah.

(soft music)

- She saw that Laura and Mary were still awake.

And she said to them, go to sleep, girls.

Everything is all right.

Pa will be here in the morning.

Then she went back to her rocking chair

and sat there rocking gently

and holding Baby Carrie in her arms.

In the morning Pa was there.

(soft dramatic music)

That's a good place to stop?

- I agree.

(soft dramatic music)

I love you so much.

(soft dramatic music)

- Get the Epinephrine.

Go, go, go.

Gordon, come on.

Come on, breathe.

(soft dramatic music)

(car beeping)

(soft dramatic music)

Come on.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Agent 2] Oh, I'm fucked.

(soft dramatic music)

(hand knocking) (soft dramatic music)

- [Tracy] Hey.

- Hey.

(soft dramatic music)

- I've got a safe house.

It's not really a safe house but it'll work.

- Okay.

Well then, let's do it.

(soft music)

Okay.

(soft music)

? Too many birds in one tree ?

? Too many birds in one tree ?

? And the sky is full ?

? Of black and screaming leaves ?

? The sky is full ?

? Of black and screaming ?

? And one more bird ?

? Then one more bird ?

? And one last bird ?

? And another ?

? One last black bird without a place to land ?

? One last black bird without a place to be ?

? Turns around ?

? And hopes to find ?

? The place it last knew rest ?

? Oh black bird ?
