04x08 - I've Been Waiting For You

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Covert Affairs...

I read in your file about an application Code name: Hummingbird.

Sounded like a way to track anybody anywhere.

I have a son. His name is Teo.

He's an undercover operative inside ALC.

Teo's mom d*ed.

It was an ALC b*mb.

What are we looking for exactly?

Anything that doesn't belong in a jungle.

Henry's been having secret meetings with ALC rebels.

Calder's almost certainly working for Henry.

By the way, I'm keeping you in the NOC.

Don't wanna waste a good cover.

You're gonna move into a new apartment at Kalorama Heights.

It's like we have never had time for us.

So is that it?

Is this...the end?

I guess so.

[Knocks on door]

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

May I come in? Please?

Sure.

I've got our next mission.

I've been thinking about the photograph of Henry and Eduardo in the jungle and what the best play would be.

It's gotta be off book, but--

Wait, Auggie.

You wanna keep working together?

Of course. We're great together.

But everything... is gonna be different.

Only if we make it different.

I have some new intelligence and an idea on how we can use it to get to Henry.

Can I show you?

Sure.

There's a couch to your right with a coffee table in front of you.

Great.

Okay.

Take a look.

Is that the CCTV feed in Edinburgh?

Yes, it is.

The U.K. has the most advanced camera system in the world.

Even the CIA can't get into it.

Yeah, well, the CIA didn't have a little bird working for 'em until now.

Project Hummingbird?

You got through the U.K. firewalls?

Oh, I got through all the firewalls.

Hummingbird links up with the entire CCTV network in Europe.

It syncs up seamlessly with our facial recognition deck.

Auggie, this is a huge accomplishment.

Thank you.

So what does--what does that have to do with the photo?

Answer this.

Who's the best person to ask Eduardo what he and Henry were up to?

Teo.

Fifth picture.

It's my beta test case.

Are you deciding whether to say yes or how to say no?

I'm just...planning my approach.

So you'll do it.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Obviously, Teo is a moving target so follow my lead.

Which takes me where?

Northwest one. Target Braga.

He was last tracked near the castle's northwest pavilion.

He should be headed your way.

Okay, hold on.

I've got him.

Keep tabs on the interior cameras.

All right, checking right now.

Great room one. Target Braga, identified.

Auggie.

He hit the first camera in the great room.

Great room 2. Target Walker, identified.

Okay, hold on, Annie. You went too far.

You passed the second camera.

If he'd have done that I'd have got him.

Did he go up the stairs?

Nope.

The camera on the landing would have picked him up.

Well, what else have you got?

He's not here and there's about a hundred other places he could have gone.

Tunnel one. Target Braga, identified.

Got him. He's in the tunnels.

How'd he get from here to there?

I don't know, but there has to be a way.

I'll access the sub-basement map.

Huh.

I got him.

Something about this doesn't feel right.

Are you sure these tunnels eventually lead to an exit?

It takes a while, but yeah.

Okay, I can go right or left.

Go right, into the tunnels.

Tunnel one. Target Walker, identified.

There's a crawlspace off to my right.

Okay, here's what you're gonna do.

We need to talk.

I've Been Waiting for You
Original Air Date on September 3, 2013

What brings you to Edinburgh?

How did you find me?

Tell me what brings you here and I'll tell you how I found you.

I was picking up some intel.

A lead about which port in Europe those missiles are being smuggled out of.

Your turn.

We have a new tracking technology.

"We?"

Whether you like it or not, you're part of a bigger team.

And it'll be easier on all of us if you accept that as a benefit and not a curse.

My curse is being related to a member of your team, so good luck.

Look, Eduardo won't talk to us.

Your ALC brother has survived weeks of interrogation without saying a word. Hmm.

We think he'll speak to you.

What do you want us to talk about?

We have intel that he had a meeting with Henry Wilcox.

Maybe to buy those missiles.

No.You said it yourself.

He was my brother.

He wouldn't have done any deal without telling me.

Did you tell him everything about yourself?

Like I said, I have my own lead to follow.

And I won't abandon that just because Arthur wants another plan.

You are so angry you can't see that he is trying to save you.

Save me?

He paid me off to cover his guilt.

And that's the problem.

He wants to see you.

These photos just landed on my desk.

That's Annie in Vienna five weeks ago when she's supposed to be running a mission for me.

Are you suggesting she didn't?

She's with one of the most dangerous t*rrorists in Colombia.

A detail she conveniently left out of her report.

What am I supposed to think?

Why don't you ask her?

Oh, I intend to.

But I'd like those questions to occur in a more formal setting.

Opening an official investigation into one of your operatives is a very serious matter.

I'd have to tell the DCI.

Then tell him.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Calder.

I'll handle it from here.

Those photos will end up in a burn bag, won't they?

Excuse me?

I want what's best for my department.

And I believe there's malfeasance here.

So if you don't want me to investigate Annie for whatever reason, I'd like to investigate Teo Braga.

Investigate him for what, exactly?

I don't know, Joan. Being in Vienna.

An ALC member of his stature being outside of Colombia is something to note, so I'd like to speak with a comrade of his we have in custody, Eduardo Vargas.

Other departments are handling the interrogation of Eduardo.

He is not a DPD prisoner.

He's my prisoner, I captured him myself.

When you were station chief at Medellin.

Now you're head of the DPD.

Above my clearance and out of my purview?

That's really the card you're playing?

I'm not playing a card.

I'm clarifying your role.

To pursue domestic matters?

Yes.

Yeah.

That's what I'm trying to do, but my boss is playing favorites with one of my operatives.

You seem to be getting stuck on this one issue, Calder.

So, let's remove the problem, shall we?

Annie Walker no longer works in your department.

I'll transfer her out.

Now you can turn your attention to other matters of DPD concern.

Okay.

I certainly will.

[Door opens and closes]

Hello, Teo.

Thank you for being a part of this mission.

What do you want?

I've been worried about you.

You don't get to play the victim here.

Oh, I'm not asking you for that.

You know, I was doing fine until you sent her and Auggie down to find me.

No, Teo, he didn't send--

I didn't send them to find you.

You can't help yourself, can you?

You have to play God with everyone else's life and then you disappear into the cloud when you're done.

Right?

Is that how you see me?

Yes.

You're the worst mistake my mother ever made.

You may be right.

What happened to her haunts me every day.

What happened to you haunts me every day.

All I wanted was for you to be with me.

I didn't see you for years.

Oh, Teo, you were so young.

After your mother d*ed, I wanted to bring you to Washington with me.

But I was shut out.

Don't you dare blame my grandparents for that.

You wanted to go on a su1c1de mission.

I couldn't let that happen.

So I made sure you had training.

You had support. A-a lifeline.

What do you want me to say? Thanks?

No. I'm not looking for thanks.

You want to protect me.

Yes.

I want you to leave me alone.

That's what I want.

I want you to stay out of my life.

No.

I'm not leaving this time.

If you want-- I want... everything to be different.

I do too.

It's too late for that.

You made me a spy.

And I have a mission.

Good luck tomorrow, Annie.

Thanks.

And...thank you.

We followed all the protocols.

No one saw us and no one would think to look for us here.

It's a perfectly safe place to spend the night.

Maybe you can let your guard down, but I can't.

I'm not letting my guard down.

I just trust the precautions we took.

Teo.

I don't wanna talk about my father.

I didn't ask.

I can feel you thinking about how to bring it up.

I know not to come between a father and son.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, right.

What's so funny?

You're still so devoted to Auggie and my father after they lied to you.

He didn't lie to me.

Who? Auggie or my father?

It's complicated.

And for people like us, there are always gonna be things that we can't share.

You've never done deep cover work, have you?

Where you have to become someone else for a long time.

No.

Well, I think that's the hardest thing a spy has to do.

When I joined the ALC, I hated those men.

But then we grew up together.

We raised ourselves.

We saved each other's life many times... that at the end...

We became brothers.

Are you having second thoughts?

No.

I was trained for this.

It's just that sometimes I wish I could save them all.

You know?

Anyway...

[Coughs]

Let's do th-- Teo.

Come on.

We don't have to do this.

I brought a makeup kit.

It'll work just as well.

No, you have to hit me.

It has to look real.

Come on.

Okay.

[Clears throat]

Ready?

Okay?

Mmhmm.

Come on.

[Knocks on door]

Hello, Teo.

Hello.

I'm Joan Campbell.

I know who you are.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

When's the baby due?

Uh, December.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It was unexpected.

Like a lot of things that have happened recently.

Do you need to sit?

Uh, no.

I'm not gonna stay.

Lost River recently added a new security measure.

Transferring a detainee now requires a signed letter from the DCS, so here.

And can I talk to you outside?

Uh, yeah.

And, Teo, I wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for us.

I wish you could have worked with me.

I didn't get to decide those terms.

You know, I was very angry with your father too.

But he did do all of this to protect you.

To protect his secret.

Well, I'm not gonna make any excuses for him.

And you know, there is a way to move forward.

You're very talented.

The Agency would embrace whatever project you wanted to pursue.

When you come back, we could sit down and talk about what that could be.

What do you think?

Okay.

Okay.

I look forward to it.

Good luck, Teo.

Good luck to you too.

He has Arthur's eyes.

I was not expecting that.

Listen, I need to update you about something.

I transferred you out of the DPD.

From now on, all your case files are outside Calder's clearance.

Where'd you transfer me to?

There are some options we can discuss, but for now, you work for me.

Okay.

Okay.

Call me from Indiana.

Drive safe.
Are you ready?

I'm ready.

[Sighs]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

I just don't enjoy this. No worries.

Just pretend I'm Henry Wilcox.

[Chuckles]

Just hit me.

Do it.

Mm.

We can do better than that.

Just hit me higher.

We need a black eye.

Hit me.

As hard as you can, hit me.

Ahh, yeah.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, nice.

[Computer beeps]

[Phone rings]

Martina, my love.

Hello, Calder.

You finally ready for that rematch?

Hmm, maybe if we use my deck of cards.

Mm, a weak craftsman blames the tools.

What do you need?

Well, I'm going above my clearance here.

Yeah, I got that from "Martina, my love."

Hmm.

How do I find out where Eduardo Vargas is being held?

Wait, didn't you capture him?

Welcome to my world, Martina.

Well, he's not in Colombia.

I can tell you that much.

Okay.

There's no one up there that you can flirt with for intel?

You know, I am hurt you think I only flirt with you for intel.

But, no, this place is held together with red tape.

Oh, I'll have to ask around, carefully and quietly.

Okay. I owe you.

Yes, you do.

Talk soon.

[Tires screech]

Annie Walker.

I'm here for the prisoner transfer.

No detainees leave the facility without written authorization from the DCS.

Here it is.

And your credentials, please.

Where's the prisoner's final destination?

Grey Wolf detention facility, Jasper, Indiana.

And what's his ID number for cross check?

Echo Victor four four one eight.

Okay.

Key.

Watch your head.

Calder Michaels, head of the DPD.

I need to speak to the administrator of this cell block immediately.

Hi.

Thank you.

We need some time with these.

I just went over all these with your colleague.

Is there a problem?

You're leaving our facility with a detainee.

Triple check. Thanks.

Cleared.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

So, what can I do for Langley.

I'd like to speak to one of your detainees, Eduardo Vargas.

Please show me to his cell.

Well, that's gonna be a problem.

He was just transferred out.

Who ordered that?

The DCS herself.

When was he transferred?

You just missed him.

Excuse me?

Just a minute ago, Mr. Michaels.

What is going on here?

[Back-up warning beeps]

Teo.

[Engine revs]

[Metal screeches]

[Metal screeches]

[Metal screeches]

[Metal clangs]

[Tires screech]

[Groans]

[Groans]

The engine is smoking.

I gotta get you out of here.

Darn, I think it jammed in the crash.

[Groans]

What's that?

I think he came back for us.

Just get him out first.

Find out everything he knows about the bombing in Turbaco.

Go. Are you crazy?

I've almost got this.

Here, take this.

Unlock him and I'll cover you.

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nsh*t]

He's sh**ting at the gas t*nk.

We gotta get out of here.

I won't go without him.

He has to answer my questions.

Just...hold on!

Teo, you have to get out of there.

He has to answer my questions.

He has to tell me about Turbaco.

Just hold on!

Teo, come on!

[Screams]

Teo, come on.

[Angry grunt]

Come on!

Come on.

Who was that man?

I've never seen him before.

We can put his description in the database when we get back.

I'm not going back.

Teo!

I know what the Plaza in Turbaco means to you.

I know it's where your mother d*ed.

Don't do anything reckless.

It's not reckless.

I'm gonna put a b*llet in Henry Wilcox's head.

That's not the way I want this to end.

If you do that, you can never go back to Washington.

You can never be a real part of the Agency.

You'll become the t*rror1st he wants you to be.

Don't let him win, Teo.

You know what? I joined the ALC because I want to know what happened to my mother.

Everything I have sacrificed has been for that.

And I can't stop now.

I just can't.

Tell my father I'm sorry.

No, Teo.

Yeah.

Are you in Indiana already?

No. Did you get my text about the embassy in Bogota?

Yes, I already called it in to Bogota station.

They're taking all the necessary precautions.

You sound terrible. What happened?

Eduardo's dead.

What?

Some man ran us off the road.

I've never seen him before, but he was definitely trained.

All right, if you can put a description together--

No, Joan, listen.

My phone is going to die.

We have to get to Henry before Teo does.

Can you double check the red flags on his travel and can you pull the geo coordinates off this phone?

Yes.

Joan?

Calder's here.

Can you send someone to come and get me please?

Auggie?

[Knocks on door]

Auggie?

Hey, Joan just called me.

What the hell happened out there?

There's no time to explain.

They're gonna be here any minute.

Who?

You have to start wiping your laptops and your hard drive-- all your technology.

Annie, what are you talking about?

I saw Calder at Lost River and then someone tried to k*ll us.

A CIA sweep team ransacked my apartment.

What does all that add up to for you?

Okay, I'm doing it right now.

They're here.

Auggie, it's Calder.

You have to go.

No, I can stay here.

I can help you.

I will be fine.

You need to go now.

Annie.

I think Helen was wrong.

About what?

About everything.

We made the wrong choice.

[Knocks on door]

Anderson?

Damn it.

Go this way. Go, go, go.

[Knocks on door]

Go. Get out of here.

Open up, Anderson.

[Knocks on door]

[Sighs]

[Knocks on door]

Calder.

I'm here on official business.

I'd appreciate your full cooperation.

I'm not sure if that's a thr*at or a request.

Whichever one works for you.

We'll be taking your hard drives, your cell phone, your server, your computers.

Hell, we even gonna take your alarm clock too.

What is this regarding?

I was recently reminded that I'm in charge of supervising all domestic matters and that includes today's death of a high-value detainee on U.S. soil.

Am I supposed to say something here?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Really?

Aren't you and Annie Walker romantically involved?

Yes, we are.

Yes.

Well, she's at the center of my investigation.

So I need to know what you know.

Where's your safe, please?

I don't have a safe.

Aw, Auggie, that's disappointing.

Yeah, I know.

I'm just gonna have to take a look anyway.

[Sighs]

Hey! What the hell are you doing?

My job.

I don't know what the hell you and your girlfriend have been up to, but I will not allow you to use my department as your own private playground.

It ends here.

Calder.

We got something.

Now, would you like to amend your answer, or do I gotta blast it open.

It'd make a mess.

Yeah, yeah.

I recognize this flash drive from the water damage.

What should I bet that it's the same one that's involved in the FBI investigation into Seth Newman's death?

I'm not a betting man.

But you are.

You bet that you could steal evidence from the CIA, hide it in your personal safe, and suffer no consequences.

There will be lawyers, arrests, and trials to be sure.

But for now, you gonna come with me, we're gonna have a little chat.
