(CHASE SIGHS)

The easiest thing for me to do now

would be to apologize.

Uh...

It's important for you to
understand why I can't do that.

That guy in your house...

he was a professional.

Whoever hired him was

serious about putting
an end to me, and...

And in my experience, that means

putting an end to anyone close to me.

That's... that's you.

Keeping you alive and safe...

that became the priority, Zoe.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

(SIGHS) I figured if you
wanted to yell at me

or scream or whatever, this
would be a safe place to do it.

Okay.

We got a long drive ahead of us.

When you're ready to talk, we can talk.

There is...

one thing I'm gonna ask you to do.

I'd like you to call your son.

The FBI is gonna knock on his door.

They're gonna ask him some questions.

He's gonna do fine, but he's...

you know, he's gonna be concerned.

Now is the best time to, oh,
set the record straight.

This'll be the last time

you make a call on your phone,

to keep from tracking us, but at least,

you know, he'll know it's you calling.

(GRUNTS)

When... You know,
just tell him the truth.

That you're unhurt,

and you're being held against your will,

but you're safe and that
you'll contact him again soon.

Yeah. You use those words,
that'll prevent you

from being considered
an accessory to anything.

(SIGHS) You know, I guess we'd better,

uh...

get going.

(ENGINE STARTS)

JOE: Local PDs, negative.

Regional offices, negative.

Digital teams, that's interagency,

that's across the board, negative.

It's been hours since law enforcement

had any signal on his whereabouts.

Dan Chase is gone.

And the woman... McDonald?

No sign of her, either.

We made contact with her son.

She called him, but they didn't speak.

That was three days ago as wel.

We'll keep our ears open, but, um...

Yeah.

Okay. Thanks, Joe.

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

ANGELA: Jaden? Or Caden, maybe?

HARPER: Brayden.

His father is the assistant secretary

of state for African affairs,

but that's...

neither here nor there.

What happened? Was it bad?

Apparently, Brayden,

uh, took issue with Henry's
presentation to the class.

He came up to him afterwards and said...

...that you were not a credible hero.

(SIGHS) He said that the police

are just regular people.

That a lot of them do bad things,

and they get away with it,

and that Henry should be more sensible

in choosing who he looks up to.

Oh. Great.

Who did Brayden choose as his hero?

Spider-Man.

(LAUGHS): Oh, Jesus.

- Did Henry sound okay?
- Yeah.

I think he's fine.

(SIGHS)

He didn't tell me any of that.

He just... tells you things?

Yeah.
I mean, I was around the house a lot.

I... I babysat a lot.

When me and Lily were still
together, she used to say that

I was half his aunt,

half big sister, and half therapist.

Lily wasn't very good at math.

(SIGHS) Yeah, you were there a lot.

(SIGHS)

I should've been there a lot.

Well, that may be true,

but it's not like it's all on you.

You know, Chip could've made
more of an effort, too.

And you're here now.

When all you want to do
is crawl in a hole,

you're holding the world up
with both hands

and signing up to raise
a seven-year-old boy.

I'd like to see Spider-Man
try and pull that off.

So, I spoke to Joe.

We're officially reporting
it's been hours

since...

Chase's trail ran cold.

We're all set to meet with

Hamzad's attorney tomorrow.

She's gonna know we lost him.

That's gonna be
an interesting conversation.

You've got a good argument to make.

You can help them get what they want.

Once they understand how much
you know about Chase and his wife,

they're gonna see that they need you.

What?

The wife... why are you
so interested in her?

- What do you mean?
- When I talked about this

with Waters, y...

you had a reaction.

Now she's on your mind again.

Is there something I'm missing?

There were three people involved

when this whole thing started.

You know, we keep talking
about the first two,

but this woman might be
the invisible man in all this.

Just seems like it might be
worth keeping an eye on her

until we figure out what we're missing.

Is there anything you knew about her

that might be a piece of an answer here?

I don't know.

I didn't know very much about her.

I was just aware of her.

Aware of the gravity she exerted

on objects around her.

What she made men do.

You know, it's late.

It's gonna be a rough day tomorrow.

We should get some sleep.

Do you mind setting
the alarm on your way out?

Sure thing.

- Good night, kiddo.
- Night.

(FOOTSTEPS CLIMBING STAIRS)

ANGELA: Where are you?

CHASE (OVER PHONE): Colorado.

Should be in L.A. tomorrow. You okay?

Yeah.

Can I ask you a question?

sh**t.

So, we have a meeting tomorrow
with this woman,

Nina Kruger.

She represents Faraz Hamzad.

Okay. Why?

The assistant director seems to believe

that all this is happening because...

Hamzad wants some kind of information.

Something he thinks you know, that...

he wants to know.

Wait, "we" have a meeting? Why "we"?

I'm going with him.

What for?

Don't you want to know what's
being said inside that room?

Uh, not if it means you being in danger.

Emily, he is desperate
and he has failed,

and I'm okay for him
to pay the price for it,

but I don't want you in the line of fire

when whatever happens to him

- Dad.
- happens to him.

- Stop.
- Oh, Em...

My God. Okay.

So, how are you doing?
Are you holding up?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

- And Zoe?
- Uh, she's sleeping. She's fin.

I think she gets this is how
it has to be for a while.

Listen, can I say one more
thing about the other thing?

Sure.

This isn't some kind of mystery, Em.

The truth is, at one point in his life,

Faraz Hamzad thought
Mom belonged to him.

He's got a grudge with me
for helping her

do something about that.

Everything else is a distraction.

You still there?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still here.

So, what do we do about this?

Yeah, well, there-there
are people out there

who've got grudges against him as well.

Once I get to L.A., I can use my company

to get a man's attention
who has that grudge

and might be willing
to do something about it.

Okay.

Stick with me, Emily.
We'll get through this.

I know.

I got to go. Drive safe, okay?

And, uh, give me a call when you get in.

All right, I will. I love you.

I love you, too, Dad.

(DOGS PANTING)

I got you some stuff.

Toothbrush,

comb...

Thought you might need

some clothes.

I just guessed on those.

I'm Henry Dixon.

Henry Dixon,

he was an early investor
in an investment fund

called Corsair Finance,

which has done quite well
over the years.

You...

...you're Marcia Dixon.

Henry's wife.

We can change the picture
once we get there.

The signature, that's what's important.

I want you to learn it.

(SIGHS) And once you get it down,

I'm gonna transfer some
money to you using this name.

I'm going to compensate you.

Compensate you and then some.
A half a million dollars.

Zoe?

Oh, the drive was uneventful.
Yeah, thanks.

Uh, just walking in now.

Yeah, the place looks great.

Yeah, thanks for, uh,
for doing the shopping.

I don't... Yeah, I'm not
gonna be here for that long,

but, uh, appreciate

you thinking of me.

Yeah, actually, slight change of plans.

Mrs. Dixon decided to join me after all.

(SLIDING GLASS DOOR OPENS)

Yeah, I want to keep a low profile.

You know, I'm just here for
that short meeting with Zach.

Have-have you confirmed it yet?

Oh, terrific, lunch today, that's...

Yeah, that's, uh...

that's perfect, Stuart. What time?

Uh-huh.

That's exactly what I was hoping for.

Yeah.

What-what time?

And where?

Oh, all right, great.

Thank you very much, Stuart. Good work.

All right, I'll see you then.

Yeah.

(CELL PHONE CLICKS SHUT)

(SIGHS)

Yeah, the last time
I was here was with her,

shortly after she was diagnosed.

(SIGHS) Yeah, I...

I figured that she'd have access
to better care here, you know,

but, uh, it upset her too much.

Being someplace unfamiliar, someplace...

you know, without memories of Emily,

so we went home.

HAMZAD: And the wise old man said,

"Language, by its nature, deceives.

"Cloaks the truth in darkness..

...rather than illuminate it."

"Truth," said the wise old man,

lives only in silence."

When everyone is lying about everything

until they aren't saying anything,

then it's the truth.

It's possible you have missed the point.

Oh, no, I got the point. (CLEARS THROAT)

You are a little bit full of sh*t.

But in a fun way.

(LAUGHS)

(TYPING)

MIKE: The difference
between here and gone is...

hardly any difference at all.

Few inches of Kevlar,

broken rib,

instead of a b*llet in the heart.

You know, sometimes, I wonder

if we've been too good
at this for too long.

Maybe you might've forgotten
how it could all end

if we're not careful.

You think I'm unaware of my mortality?

I didn't say that.

I'm not careful, then?

You're not the one I'm worried
about not being careful.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying either Morgan Bote knew

he was sending us into
a f*cked-up situation

when he gave the guy
your phone number...

...or he didn't know.

I'm not sure which one is worse.

We need to know.

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

Hello?

JULIAN: I'm calling to
conclude our conversation.

Yeah.

So, what's customary
in a situation like this,

where the work was... unfinished?

Twenty percent.

That's fine. I'll see to it.

But this concludes
our conversation, yes?

I'd like to speak about
why the work was unfinished.

All right.

When I do a job, I plan for everything.

But I can't plan for what I'm not told.

You think I withheld something from you?

The target was on his way out the door.

What do you mean, on his way out...

Packed. Ready to depart. Alert.

Did he know I was coming?

No, he-he couldn't have.

Did he know the police
were coming soon behind me?

Because either he's
the luckiest man in the world,

or someone on your end tipped
him off that something was coming.

I think you have a mole
in your operation.

I need to understand
how you didn't know.

Do you have any idea
who your mole might be?

KRUGER: Memorandum.

Date, September the th.

Subject, Harold Harper.

There are brackets here,

as this is just a template.

It'll be distributed to
several people on Capitol Hill

and across at least four agencies.

We are aware that
law enforcement has failed

to apprehend the subject
known as Dan Chase.

It has come to our attention
that Mr. Chase's escape

was aided and abetted

by the FBI assistant director
for counter-intelligence,

Harold Harper.

Through at least one phone interaction,

as well as further subversion of

and interference with

law enforcement's efforts.

I was authorized to send this

before Mr. Waters
contacted my office to say that

you may have something
to say worth hearing.

If that is the case,

I think you should say it.

I can get your client the
answers he's looking for.

In fact, I may be the only one who can.

Answers?

What kind of answers do you imagine

my client is looking for?

HARPER: That's where
you're gonna have to help me.

I'm not sure yet.

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

Chase had a relationship

with your client

and with your client's first wife.

I was there. I observed it

from afar, but in real time.

So, I know as much
about this as anyone does.

If I knew what he was looking for,

I could very likely help him find it.

Mr. Harper, for ten years,

I have represented Mr. Hamzad's
interests in the U.K.,

the U.S., across all of the Americas.

I am intimately involved
in his interests,

in his family's investments.

I'm afforded access to his
most sensitive information.

And the idea that he's involved in

some kind of information
gathering exercise,

that there are answers
he seeks, for which...

I don't even know the questions,

is not very likely.

Mr. Hamzad's concerns

will be communicated
to the necessary parties...

...by the close of business.

Good day.

Her name was Belour Daadfar.

KRUGER: Excuse me?

Hamzad's wife.

That was her name
before they were married.

Did you know that?

He met her in Kabul, in the city.

She wasn't much liked
amongst his inner circle,

But his love for her was so great,

his respect for her mind

so deep

that he considered her
his most trusted advisor

during the campaign against the Soviets,

until she betrayed him

and left him for the man
that we're calling Dan Chase,

but who, back then,

went by the name of Johnny Kohler.

He hasn't told you any of this, has he?

You know what he's allowed you to know.

But maybe I know some things
that go beyond that.

I know the things that happened
before it all went wrong.

I have insight.

Call him.

Tell him not to waste it.

In a couple of hours,
it'll be his morning.

Wait in the bar downstairs.
I'll find you.

She was the receptionist

Oh, how about that.

You know, my mom told me

the managing partner
wanted to let her go,

- Mm.
- A single mom in this city. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I'm sure there's a... (SIGHS)

study somewhere that says

So, listen, there's something
I'd like to talk to you about.

Of course. What's up?

Uh, there's a play I want to make.

Arslon Mining and Metallurgy.

Okay. What kind of play?

Well, equity investment.

Something that gets the attention

of their director general,
Suleyman Pavlovich.

Central Asian geological.

Can't say I'm super familiar with it,

but certainly worth a study.

Why don't we have the guys
at the end of the hall

do some research, put together
a presentation,

- and we can see...
- I'd prefer to move

a lot faster than that.

About how much faster
would you like to move?

Today.

I could live with tomorrow.

Henry.

Yes, Zach?

(SIGHS)

Uh, that's an awfully risky
position to take.

Do you have some information
you could share with me

- that might help me make sense of it?
- Pavlovich.

This is a guy
who has a lot of relationships,

a lot of history in the region.

I want a relationship with him,

and this is the way
I'd like to start it.

Look...

I know the first two big plays
the company made

were these big, wild swings...

they may have even been your ideas.

Mm. Yeah, they were. Yeah.

And that's great.

And we wouldn't be here without them.

But money...

See, money grows up, too.

It wants to be comfortable.

Gets picky about the company it keeps.

Hmm. Yeah, to be honest,

I wasn't looking for advice on this.

I want you to start putting

Ooh, the turkey sandwich is really good.

I mean, she was there. Every day.

All the time. But, uh...

it just always felt like
a piece of her was...

was missing.

Like there was another life
she had given up

in exchange for this one,
so she was always...

hollow.

So, I made an oath to myself

that I would never end up like that.

That I would find something meaningful,

and then I would work hard
until my fingers bled

to get good at it.

And I did.

And then here comes this m*therf*cker

who wants everyone to know
that he thinks it's so funny

that I don't seem like I belong here.

But I belong here.

So I just wanted him to know that.

You get in trouble?

I was terminated.

But you're still here.

Because five minutes
after I was terminated,

my supervisor's boss

threatened to walk out the door
right behind me.

- Your boss's boss.
- Mm.

Harold Harper?

KRUGER: I am fairly adept

at anticipating
how Mr. Hamzad will react

to a given piece of upsetting news.

What makes him frustrated.

What makes him angry.

What makes him
want to cause damage and pain

to whatever or whomever has upset him.

I assumed, when I called him just now,

I would get one of the above. Or worse.

His actual reaction was...

somewhat more complicated than that.

In one hour, there will be
a plane prepared to depart.

If you want to further engage
on this issue,

you will be on it.

No... No, no, no, no, no.

- No.
- HARPER: Hang on.

Is he confirming that
my assertion is correct...

that he's after
some kind of information?

I don't believe
he's confirming anything.

You can't seriously be considering this.

(SIGHS) I'm not sure I understand

what it is exactly that I'm considering.

If I get on this plane,

he will engage with me, personally...

- is this what we're saying here?
- KRUGER: Let me be very clear

about what it is I am saying

as I am authorized
to say this and no more.

If you are on that plane
when it takes off,

Mr. Hamzad will consider
this conversation ongoing.

If you are not,

Oh, sh*t. Em, why didn't you
say anything about this before?

And if I abandon him now,

at this moment,

because that's just not
something that I would do.

This is serious.

I've worked too hard for this.

I've sacrificed too much for this.

I'm good at this.

If I walk away now, then...

then it just is all gone.

And then I'll have no idea

what the hell I even am at that point.

Emily, you know who you are.

Everything was fine.

I was fine.

Until I heard Faraz Hamzad's name.

Do you have a plan
for how to handle all of this?

Yeah, I do, I do.

And at the end of this plan,
is he still alive?

I could protect myself.

Turns out that's not
what the rules are for.

But I think Marcia has

a little bit more leverage than I did.

If I understand the situation,
this letter would cause

a real mess at your company.

Audits, discovery.

The fear of what I might
ask for in a divorce.

The fear of what I might get.

So you'd just kind of be
"that guy" to them for a while.

The guy they keep at arm's length

unless they want to end up
in depositions, so...

it would make it
almost impossible for you

- to accomplish anything there...
- What the f*ck are you doing?

I didn't send it yet.

I set it to send in two hours,
but I can log in and stop it.

Maybe you're right,

and I would be dead
if I hadn't come with you.

Or maybe you're wrong,

and this is nothing more
than a kidnapping.

Maybe it's both.

Either way, I'm here.

And from here, I see two ways forward.

One...

I stay.

And I help you through this.

(CHUCKLES) You're gonna help me?

Yeah, I am. I think you need it.

Once upon a time,
I looked into the mirror

and I didn't know who I was.

I think you know what I felt.

I think you can't remember

what life felt like before that feeling.

And I believe your daughter.

I believe the guy she talked about

is in there somewhere,
and I would like to help him.

I never had anybody help me when I was

going through my experience,
and it nearly k*lled me,

and that was w-without having to do it

- while running for my life.
- Zoe.

Zoe, listen to me, I'm gonna be fine.

- This whole thing is traumatizing...
- But-but if I do that for you,

then you need to acknowledge

that we're in this together.

You need to make a gesture to prove it.

What kind of gesture
do you have in mind?

Half of everything you own.

Transferred to my name.

Before : ,

or the email goes out.

What's two?

Two?

Well, two is that you give me
a reasonable amount of money

for the train wreck
that you've turned my life into,

and I stay silent in this apartment

-until it's safe for me to leave,
-Wh... Whoa.

and then I will.

Theft. f*cking extortion?

What's this gonna cost me, huh?

Half of everything you own.

So it's not about money until you choose

- to make it about money.
- No, no, I said

that money is not just money.

What it always is

is a measure of discomfort.

H... How badly do I want this?

How badly do I want to avoid that?

How much power do I have to make it so?

In this moment,

I want to amount to more

than just a complication in your story.

I want to know that
the next time we disagree,

I have the resources
to make you think twice

before threatening me

or throwing me in the trunk of a car

or looking at me the wrong way

to shut me up.

I want to be accounted for.

I have the resources to make it so,

so you will account for me.

Do you have any idea

the danger that
you're putting yourself in?

The danger that you're putting me in?

My kid?

You will account for me.

You have no idea
how different the game is.
