- Hi, Ted, alcoholic.
- GROUP: Hi, Ted.

I was just sitting here thinking,

I remember early in my recovery,

that f*cking pink cloud,

where I was kind of just

stupidly naive
and thought everything was

- "pretty great."
- What's that there, Ted?

Uh, no crosstalk, Cassie.

I know, but he just took...

- Okay?
- Right.

MEETING LEADER: A reminder to everyone...

We don't interrupt people's shares.

[indistinct chatter]

Look, I know it's "principles
before personalities,"

but that guy was a d*ck.

- He was being a d*ck.
- Yeah.

Thank you. And I ran out of Hot Tamales.

My body is still craving sugar
every single day.

I'm not saying I'm gonna
eat all these donuts

but I'm definitely gonna
eat all these donuts.

The curse of giving up booze.

You're my sponsor. Say something wise.

I thought I was acing recovery once,

until I burned my house down.

[coughs] Jesus, Brenda,

why does every one of your stories
have to end in some horrific trauma?

I'm your sponsor because it helps me

with my own recovery.

If you want to eat the donuts,
eat the donuts.

Thank you for that advi... Hi.

Your share today
really touched me. I just...

- wanted to say hi.
- Aw! [chuckles]

Oh, my God, my boyfriend
would love your necklace.

No, I love your necklace.
I think my boyfriend...

I'm working on being less codependent.

It's okay. Don't apologize.
I... we're here

because we're working on things, right?

It's Jenny, right? I'll tell you
where I got it if you want.

I'll go get my phone.

Wow. You've got a newbie

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Yes, I am.

- Yeah.

Your crosstalk is what
first attracted me to you.

Really? That's so weird.

I thought it was my legs

Hi!

Hi.

Oh, come on. Nothing's gonna

but I am not late. Mark that down
in your little notepad.

If you're not early, you're late.

Okay, Benjamin,
that is an impossible bar

I will never be able to reach.
Also, why are we in a parking deck?

The office picked it
for your convenience.

I would've picked Hollywood

Oh, you're a gambling man.

I'm learning little bits

Here's a photo of your mark in Berlin.

His name's Will Kotov.

Okay, we've been handler and
asset for a few months now.

Shouldn't I know just
a little more about you?

No.

So we would like you to observe him

on site at the hotel only.

- Did you catch that last part?
- Yeah.

- Look at me, please.
- I'm looking at you.

On site in the hotel only.

That means do not follow, do not engage.

"Do not follow, do not engage." Got it.

You do good work, Bowden.

But we both know you have a habit

off getting too involved
with your marks.

Okay, that is quite the
exaggeration, don't you think?

- Tokyo? Madrid?
- Okay. No, no, that...

What about that absolutely
insane stand-off

you got in a Moscow restaurant
you had to flee?

That was not my fault, okay?
That was an impulse thing.

No, scratch that. That
sounded bad. No, it wasn't.

I just... I don't
get a lot on these people.

I get a photo and a name,
and I'm very curious.

- Isn't that part of my job?
- Bowden,

if you have an operational issue

- with the way the CIA assigns...
- I don't.

No, no, I don't. I just...
I like to go above and beyond,

and sometimes in the moment,
I get a little...

- I'll stop you there.
- Yeah, you should.

You're not a CIA officer.

You are a civilian asset,

emphasis on the word "civilian."

Please remember that for your safety.

Benjamin, I hear you,
and I get it, I promise.

Commit that photo to memory.

I know that you carry them on you

and that's a really bad idea.

Consider it memorized.

Wait, hold on. [clears throat]

Now consider it memorized.

Just tell me one more thing about you.

It'll really help my process.

Do you have a dog? Do you have a cat?

Where do you live?

Are you married? Girlfriend? Boyfriend?

photographer Marco?

Is that how I described him to you?

- Yes.
- I don't recall that, but

you are gonna meet him.
We're gonna have dinner

tomorrow night, and please
don't scare him away.

Okay? 'Cause I really like him.

- I make no promises.
- [pounding on door]

Okay, whoever that is, they
cannot have the guest room,

because I claim squatter's
rights and I've been

volunteering at the
Brooklyn Legal Aid Society

for the past year, so
I'm well-versed in this shit.

- Cassie Bowden?
- Mm-hmm?

We need you to come down
to the field office with us.

Oh, sorry, right now?
My friends are here.

We were gonna go eat,
and this... right now?

This is not an optional invitation.

Okay.

We're gonna get taco stand?

I'm... I'm not trying a taco...

You think I'm gonna eat street food?

- You're gonna like a taco.
- I'm not eating street food.

[clears throat]

Wow. Hi. Um,

I don't know what face
you're attempting to make,

but if it's a happy one,
you are not succeeding.

No, it is. No, I'm so happy.

I'm so happy. I'm also sad, though,

'cause I have to leave you
for just a hot second,

but it's, um, not a big deal.
I'm so sorry.

I have to help out a friend.
It's actually an AA thing,

so I can't... I can't talk about it.

So listen, you guys just chill,

and I will be back. We'll have dinner.

It's gonna be great.
I'm so happy you're...

Just... I'm just so happy.
I'll be back, though, okay?

I'm gonna just... I'm gonna
let that one go.

So it much be pretty important
for Benjamin to send you guys

to pick me up, huh?

CIA OFFICER: Mr. Berry didn't send us.

Oh.

That makes me even more nervous.

So who did send you?

Oh. Okay.

I still need to write up
my notes from Berlin.

- I'll get 'em to you soon.
- Great.

I was gonna do it on the plane,

but it turns out
this kind of friend of mine

from New York was our team leader

and she was watching me
like a hawk. It was so annoying.

You didn't tell me you were on site
when the guy got blown up.

'Cause we know you were there.

You lied.

Cassie, you could've died.
Do you understand that?

I'm about to have
to explain you to my boss,

and Dot Karlson is someone I try to

not have to explain things to ever.

How scary can a woman be named Dot?

This is probably gonna be
your last day as an asset.

What? Why?

Look, I know I messed up a little bit.

Please, don't do...

Acts of service are a really
big deal in AA, okay?

Alcoholics Anonymous is anonymous.

So stop talking about it.

Sorry, I just... listen,
this is my act of service,

helping the CIA.

It's the only exciting thing
I have in my life right now,

and I don't know why
I just said that to you.

I don't either.

Because it's not exciting
if you're dead.

- [phone intercom beeps]
- WOMAN: Yes?

Yes, they're here. Yes, he is.

Ms. Karlson will see you now, Mr. Berry.

Ms. Bowden, would you please wait here?

Hi. Benjamin's kinda sexy, huh?

Holy f*ck.

You should eavesdrop. %.

Scoot over. See if you can hear them.

He's hot, but he might be in there

trying to steal the one
thrilling thing you have going.

Perfect. Super subtle.

BENJAMIN: She's a liability.

- What kind of person would...
- DOT: The kind of person

that wants to do this work.

How many people do you know
who could wake up

next to a dead body in a foreign country

and get back to the US without incident?

How many people do I know

that would even end up
in that situation at all?

[sighs]

First off, don't be nervous.

Very technically, you haven't
done anything wrong here.

Right, Mr. Berry?

Very technically.

Look, I have work I need
to get back to. Excuse me.

What passes for boldness in men here

is often seen as reckless in women.

It's happened to me more times
than I can count, Cassie.

Trust me.

[sighs]

Cassie, you probably
don't know this, but

Mr. Berry fought to be your handler.

So we're just gonna give him
some time to cool off.

I definitely did not know
he fought to be my handler.

I didn't even think he liked me.

Cassie, how are you holding up?

After your assignment
in Germany, I mean.

Oh, I'm fi... actually, I...
I do want to show you something.

- Okay.
- Um, so,

there was this woman in Berlin...

Wait, um, how do you have your phone?

They're supposed to take
visitors' phones

- when they enter the office.
- I don't know. Sorry.

[stammers] Anyway, there was a woman

that looked exactly like me
in Berlin, and um...

So she gave the mark... Will,
the guy that died... a briefcase,

and I just didn't want you to think

I wasn't, like, on top of it.

What exactly am I looking at here?

So, I took pictures from
the hotel across the street,

but there was also a group of men

that was in the room above them,

and I swear they were listening.

All right. The man you were observing

was an informant for the CIA.

But a faulty gas main

is responsible for the expl*si*n, so,

bad luck for him.

Next time, please surrender
your phone when you come in.

Sorry, uh, but, um...
what about the woman?

I mean, she literally looked
exactly like me.

She had the same tattoo on her
back that I have.

We can refer you to a trauma specialist

if you're feeling in
any way overwhelmed.

- No, I'm...
- Because, between us,

I really couldn't make out much there.

Your adrenaline was really going
and that can affect

the way you see things

or remember things.

And while I'm sure
your tattoo is lovely,

a lot of other women made

similar interesting choices
in their s.

Uh, thank you, but I'm...

I really feel fine and
I know exactly what I saw.

Cassie, I need you to be thoughtful

about how you talk about this,

because if people think
you're involved in any way,

it would be bad.

So why don't you send me
the photos of what you saw,

and if I see anything
actionable, I'll look into it.

Okay?

Uh, um... all right.

Oh, and do me a favor.

We're gonna have Imperial
Atlantic temporarily ground you.

Take a few days and rest up.

Wait, wait, I'm not gonna be flying?

Don't think of it like that.

We'll be in touch soon.

- Uh, thanks so much.
- Okay.

Wow, no more flights for you, huh?

f*ck off.

Not you. You seem great.

No, food, right now,

It's nothing. It's just
an automated text from Imperial.

my luggage... at LAX.

It'll be delivered here within an hour.

Wow, that is so weird.

Okay, but that's good news, right?

You need to talk to us.
Max, agree with me.

Fully agree. What's going on, Cass?

Um... [sighs]

Okay.

Don't freak out.

There was a huge expl*si*n
in Berlin in the street

I'm fine. I'm fine.

But it... it shook me up,

to my room my luggage was gone.

That's fun, and my ears are ringing,

um, and, uh, yeah.

So it's been crazy and creepy,

and I did not want to start
your trip off on a weird note.

Can we just leave it at that for now?

I'm... I'm... I'm taking care of it.

Okay. I'd be upset, too.

It sounds like a lot.

Yeah, it... it was not a little, so.

Look, babe, uh, we're just happy
that you're okay

and that you weren't hurt.

- Yes.
- And look, we'll wait with you

I'll just eat one of Max's arms.

He has two! He has two arms.

That's definitely my bag.

Sign here.

Uh, thanks for driving it out here.

I'm sure traffic was horrible

Do you know what flight this came off?

I just deliver the bags. [chuckles]

You don't know where your bag was?

No, I do.

No, actually, not... I don't.

I... I did, but I'm a little not sure.

Yeah, I'mma let you figure it out.

Okay, why don't you just open it up

Okay, ew, that's not mine.
