04x14 - River Euphrates

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Covert Affairs...

This is the necklace you gave me in Rome.

I never stopped wearing it.

I'm glad you're here.

You don't know what it means to hear you say that.

Federal Agent Rossabi.

I know that you've been colluding with Annie Walker.

When I'm done you're gonna be back in a prison cell.

Did you sanction a CIA Black Ops team to t*rture Teo Braga with full knowledge that he was your husband's son?

Yes.

Did your husband know that?

He will now.

This belonged to the man who sh*t down the helicopter in Copenhagen.

I was forced to k*ll him.

Goodman's real name is Deric Hughes.

I discovered he has close ties with Henry.

Nelson, this is me. I need 3 million fast-tracked.

I'll do my best.

You're going to New York to track down Nelson Smith?

It's better I don't tell you.

Miss Hanson.

You found me.

[Silenced g*nshots]

Somebody call 911.

[Sirens approaching]

Shut it down.

Shut everything down.

Who is it?

Who's there?

Hello? Who is it?

Auggie, it's me.

What's wrong? What is it?

Helen's dead.

I just saw her sh*t at the bus terminal.

Helen's--are you sure?

I saw the body myself.

She was, uh-- she was just following Henry.

I know.

I saw him leaving the scene.

I'm pretty sure he's the one that k*lled her.

[Sighs]

We're gonna get him, Auggie.

Yeah? How?

I need to find Nelson Smith.

He's the one who's moving Henry's money.

Helen was looking into him.

Maybe she had a lead?

Yeah.

Do you know where she was staying?

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, Calder, wait up.

Can it wait six hours?

I gotta finally get some sleep.

I don't think so. The D.C.S. wants you.

[Sighs]

[Door closes]

What's going on?

We've got a problem.

You ever heard of a deceased operative named Helen Hansen?

No.

Why?

[Lockpicks clicking]

Anything Helen found she would have kept in her head.

Maybe she left something behind in case anything happened to her.

Did she have any tricks?

I mean... from when you guys were--

Pasta box.

Check the pantry.

I found something.

Yeah? What is it?

It's in braille.

It's Nelson Smith.

He's a customs official at I.C.E.

He's in charge of the port of New York.

I thought Smith was a money guy?

He moves stuff across borders. Why not cash?

And what's your plan for approach?

I've dealt with scarier guys than customs officials.

I'm going to New York.

This is the guy who moves Henry Wilcox's money.

That's not your typical customs official.

All I need is proof that his money paid for Copenhagen.

[Softly] Yeah.

Let's go.

Would you help me gather her things?

I don't want to leave anything behind for the cleaners.

Yeah.

You want to get a pillowcase for her stuff?

Sure.

You seem to know your way around.

Yeah.

Annie, this is not what I wanted.

This is not what I want.

You don't have to explain.

I chose this and I imposed it on you.

I understand.

[Sighs]

So, where does this leave us?

River Euphrates
Original Air Date on November 7, 2013

How long did it take you to pick that lock?

About 30 seconds.

Is there another way out of here?

Get to the fire escape.

You need to take it. Go.

I'm not gonna leave you here.

You just said you're not finished.

You can't be seen. Go.

[Lockpicks clicking]

Hey.

What happened? Your key get stuck again?

Sorry, man.

I must have the wrong apartment.

Oh, uh--oh, that's okay. I do it all the time.

Have a good one.

[Sighs]

Everything looks good with the ultrasound.

Now, how much longer until you go on maternity leave?

I'd like you off your feet as much as possible.

My due date's the 17th?

Hmm, thereabouts, yes.

What are the chances that the baby comes early?

It's certainly a possibility. Well, don't worry.

Even if it happened now, you'd be fine.

No, but--but what are the odds?

Is it 20%? 50%?

It doesn't work that way.

Is something the matter?

Arthur's trial starts that week.

Joan--

His first son just passed away and I really don't want him to miss the birth of his second one.

Agent Rossabi.

Are you feeling okay?

The last trimesters are tough, at least that's what my sister says.

I'm fine.

Well, that's good to hear.

Um... I heard about your deposition at Justice.

Hmm, I didn't realize I was speaking to the entire department.

Yeah, well, I was paying particular attention.

I didn't know you had so much animus against Henry Wilcox.

That's understated.

Yeah, well my interaction with him didn't sit right with me.

And that's understated too.

Annie got close to Henry and that's what got her k*lled, right?

You know I can't answer that.

You don't have to.

Hey, look, I think I found something that might incriminate Henry Wilcox, but I can't take it any further.

What's the lead?

A week ago, we apprehended a diamond industry consultant named John Malan.

He was boarding a flight from JFK to Johannesburg.

Malan was carrying a large amount of U.S. currency with peculiar serial numbers, unaccounted for by Treasury.

I assume it came from your printing press.

Langley doesn't have a printing press.

Okay, you know what? I know that's the company line, but come on.

What does this have to do with Henry?

Malan called Lexington from a nearby diamond wholesaler an hour before he got to JFK.

And where is he now?

Well, we didn't have enough on him, so we let him go.

Two days ago, he showed up dead.

Henry cuts another loose thread.

Okay, here.

Here's a few of the serial numbers.

I can't look into it any further.

Maybe you can.

[Dog barking]

Ready to go?

[Dog barking]

Lucas, don't forget your backpack.

Thanks for meeting.

I was about to call you anyway.

A Jane Doe was k*lled at the bus terminal last night.

She was a deep cover operative.

You talking about a Helen Hansen?

How do you know her name?

I was called in to manage the situation for the Agency.

What does that mean, "manage"?

She supposedly d*ed seven years ago.

They want to know what she was doing.

I have a feeling you know something about that.

I know Henry k*lled her.

How do you know that?

Annie witnessed it.

She what?

Auggie, I'm supposed to be in on this.

What else are you keeping from me?

Helen was following Henry in Geneva.

That's where Annie was working.

How do we know that this Hansen did not compromise her with Henry?

She didn't.

You do not know that.

There was a breach here.

Now, the next time I get a call from Henry, he's gonna want to thank me or try to put a b*llet in my head.

This whole thing is sloppy, and now I have to clean it up.

No, you don't have to clean anything up, and you want to talk about sloppy?

Henry k*lled Helen with his own hands.

We've got him on his heels. Let's nail him.

What does that even mean, "nail him"?

It's not like we can call Annie in to testify.

The victim d*ed seven years ago, and the witness d*ed over three months ago.

Not what a D.A. likes to hear.

Put a surveillance team on him, Calder.

If he's runnin' scared, and I know he is, we will get something we can use.

That would mean the end to all of the other plays I've been making inside the building.

That's the point, isn't it? To end it?

You think it's the end for Annie, huh?

What other lifeline does she have if I get sent down to I.T. with you?

Come on, think!

Thank you.

Hello, Diana.

Joan!

[Buzz]

Come on in.

Thanks.

Hi, how are you?

I'm well.

It's really nice to see you.

I didn't know you still worked here.

Yeah, I'm helping some of the analysts in crateology.

They're working on some cool projects there.

Do these numbers mean anything to you?

Yeah, these are ours.

Any way to tell where they were going?

This is for crateology?

Yeah.

[Keyboard clicking]

Here you go. Take a look.

Thank you.

So, this shipment was airlifted to Kandahar?

Yeah, out of Dover Air Force base.

And how did it get from here to Dover?

CIA transport. It's signed for right here.

[Warning bell dings]

[Tires screeching]

[Tires screeching]

[Train air horn blares]

[Sighs]

[Chain link rustling]

[Creaks]

[Creaks]

[Children shouting, playing]

Go, go, go, go!

[Whistle blows]

[Coach shouting]

Good job!

Which kid's yours?

Number 11, the midfielder.

[Whistle tweets]

[Laughs]

He looks like you.

Don't tell my wife that.

Here, you dropped this at the container yard.

Bringing your g*n to your kid's soccer game?

Not cool.

So, you're the tail I lost at the train tracks.

What do you want?

Not much.

Just Henry Wilcox's head on a spike.

[Whistle blows]

Whoo!

[All cheering]

Can we not do this here?

Okay. Let's take a walk.

You're gonna set up camp outside this address.

Bring all the tech you need to monitor the house.

Make yourself comfortable. And by monitor you mean, uh-

Map the entire security system.

I want to know what kinds of alarms, how many guards, how many cameras.

You looking to map the security system or rob the place?

Regardless of the goal, the procedure is the same.

Here.
What's this?

It's a, uh, small token of my appreciation.

You've been risking a lot helping me out.

I don't want you to think it's gone unnoticed.

Thanks, man, but, uh, there are a lot of trans fats in here.

Since when has that been a problem?

Oh, I'm gettin' healthy.

Yeah, I drank a bundle of kale this morning.

It tasted disgusting, but I feel great.

Good for you, man.

[Clears throat]

Is, um...

Is this Henry Wilcox's address?

I've gone along with a lot without asking any questions because I believe in you, and, um, well, I'm no fan of him, but this feels like we're crossing a line here, man.

We crossed that line a long time ago, my friend.

[Phone chirps]

Incoming call.

Joan Campbell. I should take this.

Yeah.

Hey, go easy.

[Phone chirps]

Hello?

Hey, Auggie. I'm trying to reach Helen.

Have you spoken with her recently?

Why?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I might have discovered how Henry's been financing his operations.

With money he stole from the-- from the CIA.

Wh-what?

We were supposed to ship 200 million to Kandahar that never even made it on a plane.

A courier just showed up on our radar with some of the stolen bills.

It looks like Henry's been using diamonds to launder and move money around.

Why do you want to reach Helen?

I need her to run something down in New York for me.

It's not like we have that many people left we can trust.

Joan, Helen's dead.

What?

What happened?

Henry sh*t her.

Oh, my God. I...

I'm so sorry, Auggie. I...

What can I do for you? How can I help?

You can tell me how I pay respects to someone who's already supposed to be dead.

I can't bury her in the same grave.

I can't tell her parents and break their hearts again.

Auggie, don't do anything foolish.

What is it you wanted Helen to run down?

It's okay.

I'll figure out a different way.

Hey, Tommy. What do you got for me?

I pulled all the camera footage from the station last night.

I'm guessing that's the one you're looking for.

Mr. Wilcox.

Anything more incriminating I should be aware of?

Cameras didn't catch much.

Thanks, man.

You know, kidnapping a federal official will get you 25 years.

You know what you get for conspiring to commit an act of terrorism?

Life...

Or not.

What act of terrorism?

Copenhagen.

You sent Deric Hughes $10 million before he took a helicopter out of the sky.

No, I never met that man.

I'm sure you didn't.

I bet there are a lot of protocols in place to make sure Henry's people never meet each other.

You know, that's a lot to assume based on a little piece of blue plastic.

Five pallets, three vans. I'm not assuming anything.

I've been watching you for a lot longer than you should feel comfortable with.

What is this, some kind of shakedown?

Is that-- is that what's going on here?

'Cause you're too late.

I already moved the cash.

Why'd you clear it all out today?

Let me tell you what happens to people who outlive their usefulness to Henry.

They get eliminated.

And the next person who puts a g*n to your head is not gonna pause to ask you a question.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

You think you can live a double life?

You think you can work for Henry in the city, punch a clock, and be home in time for dinner?

That golden retriever is not gonna protect your family.

You chose this game.

You put them at risk.

[Tires screeching]

[Grunts]

[Muffled car horn passes]

[Echoing] Can you hear me?

Hey! Can you hear me?

[Car starts]

[Ringing continues]

Who are you?

Who are you?

I'm nobody.

Oh, yeah?

You're nobody, huh?

No ID. No credit card.

You're very interested in Henry Wilcox.

Tell you what, nobody. Let's give him a call.

[Line ringing]

Find out who you are.

Stay there!

[Line ringing]

Your call has been forwarded--

That's a shame. It's voicemail.

You really don't want him to know you're here, do you?

Yeah, you don't.

I got an idea.

[Phone shutter clicks]

Why don't we send him a text?

Can I ask you a question?

Are you prepared to k*ll me?

What?

From the way you're holding that g*n I can tell you don't get a lot of opportunity to use it outside of target practice.

It'd be pretty hard to miss from here, wouldn't it?

Look, I get it.

You're underpaid and underappreciated.

You saw an opportunity to provide for your family without anybody getting hurt, but that part of the deal is over.

From here on out, people get hurt.

I have a proposition for you.

I'm listening.

Ew.

Guess who just came home.

Tell me how a car gets in there.

Uh, there's a gate, accessed via keypad.

The password's 1850, by the way.

There's an electronic wire around the perimeter, apparently to keep dogs out, but I'm guessing it's got dual use.

Infrared cameras above every entrance, and one facing out to the street, man.

No one's getting in there. Not a chance.

Come on, Barber.

Every system has a weak spot.

Well, I'll keep looking then.

What's he doin'?

He's turning on the TV.

Is he alone?

Yep.

Where'd you tell Calder you were?

I told him I was getting a root canal.

All right, I'm comin' down there.

It's not like I don't like your company or anything, Auggie, but on an operation like this, how much good can you really do us?

It's not like you can take a shift or anything.

If he moves, follow him.

I'll be there in about an hour.

[Phone ringing]

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

We'd like a status update.

We don't have much.

Okay. Give me what you got.

She supposedly d*ed in Rome seven years ago and became a ghost.

This is a woman we trained to move through the world invisibly, so there wasn't a lot to find in 24 hours.

What about Auggie Anderson?

They were married for a mission.

She never reached out to him?

He doesn't know anything.

How do you know that? Did you talk to him?

Yes. We spoke this morning.

All right.

Pull him in for a polygraph anyway.

Where are we with the D.C. police, Calder?

Aren't you gonna introduce us?

Who are you?

Where are we with the police?

D.C. police think they caught a Jane Doe.

We replaced all camera footage at the bus station with dummy footage, and claimed her corpse from the city morgue and disposed of it.

There won't be any autopsy, so status update?

All clear.

Good work. Thank you.

[Speaks softly]

Hansen's approximate time of death was around midnight, and you called me an hour later.

There was no I.D. on her body and the coroner still doesn't know her identity, yet you knew so fast.

What are you insinuating?

I'm just trying to understand the full contours of the situation.

You really want to open up Hansen's case files?

Talk about how she faked her death so we didn't know?

Talk about who was running her off-book for the past seven years?

There's a bigger picture here.

That picture's pretty dark.

If you're unable to see this thing through to the end, I need to know now so I can make other plans.

No. We're good.

Thank you, Mr. Michaels. That will be all.

So, let me get this straight.

You want me to let you walk out of here with full knowledge of my involvement in this operation?

Yeah.

I don't even know who the hell you are.

You want my credentials?

I'm the reason Henry Wilcox is running scared.

I'm the reason you had to move that money.

I will bring him to justice.

Okay, you got three days to get to him.

Three days, or I'll make myself even more invaluable to Henry Wilcox, 'cause I'll tell him you're coming.

Deal.

So, what do you want from me?

Information.

When did he tell you to move the money?

Late last night.

Where'd you take it?

To a diamond wholesaler in Brooklyn.

Courier's picking it up this afternoon.

And where's he taking them?

Henry's picking up shop. He's moving to Hong Kong.

Why is he going to Hong Kong?

Hi, Arthur, it's me. I-I didn't want to wake you before I left this morning, but I just wanted to let you know I had a really good appointment at the doctor's.

Everything looks great with the baby.

I just wish I could say the same about us.

Listen, I hope you know that even if we're fighting, I will always fight for you.

This probably isn't the best time to tell you I won't be home for dinner 'cause I'm working late, but I hope you're up when I get there.

I love you.

[Bell rings]

Good afternoon, ma'am.

Hi.

I'm Roy.

And I am Joan, from Levittown Gold and Gems.

Hmm.

Is this, um, all the merchandise you carry?

Um, is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

I was thinking bigger.

Bigger and flashier.

Bigger?

It's Long Island.

Of course.

[Chuckles]

[Metal detector beeps]

Hello.

Hi.

Here we are.

Those are gorgeous.

Oh.

Are you all right?

[Sighs]

God, this is so embarrassing.

Would I be able to use your ladies room?

Normally, no, but--

But you'll make an exception for the lady who's about to pop?

It's back here.

Aw, you're so sweet.

Thank you so much.

This way.

Okay.

Right.

It's, uh, right over here.

Oh, great. Thank you.

Roy, Brinks is here for you.

So, everything's out of the container?

Yes. It's all in the vault.

You got your delivery instructions?

Yeah.

Uh, mid-levels, escalators, Hollywood Road platform, Hong Kong.

The day after next at 10:00 a.m.

[Beep]

All right. I'm on my way.

I think I found just what you're looking for.

I'm sorry. I forgot something in my car.

I'll be right back.

Annie?

You're alive.

Joan, what are you doing here?

Henry's money. I'm looking for his courier.

Is he here?

He's right behind me.

That's him.

Well, Joan--

Annie, Annie, come here!

I overheard them talking.

There's a meet scheduled in Hong Kong the day after next. I know the location.

Thanks.

[Chuckles]

[Laughs]

[Winces]

Ow.

What happened?

Oh, uh, a car crash.

I must not have felt it.

Car crash?

I'm taking you to the hospital.

Oh, no, no, no.

[Chuckles]

Trust me.

It's not a good idea.

Okay. I think I got everything.

How are you feeling?

I can't stop thinking about that courier on the way to Hong Kong with Henry's money.

We can't let Henry follow.

You know how hard it's gonna be to get Henry out of Hong Kong.

The Chinese will grant him asylum, and he will be untouchable.

Sit still, Annie.

You need to get him into custody right now.

With what evidence?

We already know all the pieces.

He stole money from the CIA.

He's responsible for Copenhagen.

Someone can get him to talk.

Well, I don't have that power anymore.

Calder does.

[Phone ringing]

Who's that from?

Henry Wilcox.

Everything in here is top-shelf.

Wine, truffles, Johnnie Blue.

Everyone he works with looks exactly like him.

Well, except for you.

I don't work with him.

Then why the gift basket?

[Phone rings]

Go.

Calder Michaels.

Hi, Calder. It's Joan.

We have a lot to talk about, but I'm not gonna get into all that right now.

What are we gonna get into?

I need a TAC team to round up Henry Wilcox and stick him in a box.

Can you do that?

Why the hell not?

[Knock at door]

Hey, man.

How'd you find me?

Hey.

I knocked on the other contracting van first.

There isn't another one, is there?

Barber, what do you got?

Oh, uh, he's still hunkered down in there.

He's still alone?

Yeah.

Well, he had a pizza delivered.

Did you track the delivery guy?

What if he brought something in or took something out?

Track the delivery guy?

Me and what army, Auggie?

He brought in a pizza.

He took out 20 bucks.

I can't follow everyone.

Hey, relax, Barber. It's just a question.

[Sighs] Sorry.

It's just my first day ever without pizza.

All right, you said you built a security profile?

Yeah, yeah.

I found an override for the perimeter fence.

I can shut down the cameras, put 'em on a loop Ocean's 11 style.

Great.

Yeah, that's great. Thank you.

Cool, man. So, what are we doing?

Buggin' the place?

You did great work, Barber.

I'll take it from here.

No, I'm here to help. What do you need?

Hey, you've been a good friend, but you got to go.

What kind of team did you bring with you?

I'm trying to protect you from that answer, and I'd feel a hell of a lot better if you weren't here for this.

Oh, man. You don't want to do this.

Go home, Barber.

I hope you know what you're doing, man.

[Sighs]

Okay, boys.

On my cue.

[Clears throat]

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[g*ns being readied]

Move out.

[Car doors open]

[Smash]

[Grunts]

We're in.

What the hell?

Auggie, it's not Wilcox.

Hold on a sec.

What do you mean, "hold on a second"?

What's goin' on?

And what do you mean it's not Wilcox?

We're bringing him out.

Looks like we got company.

What's goin' on?

I need a status update.

What the hell is this?

Stand down, soldier.

What the hell is Calder doing there?

Looks like the same thing we are.

I said stand down.

We're coming out.

You got Henry?

No. He set up a decoy.

Where the hell is Henry?

What the hell you doing?

I thought Henry was a flight risk.

I was bringing him into custody.

That's what I was doing.

What you were doin' was personal.

This is personal for me in ways you don't get.

Yeah, you're right. I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Don't go off the reservation, Auggie.

You hear me?

We need you. You're way too valuable.

What brought you down here now?

I got a phone call.

From who?

How's Arthur doing?

Well, he's still grieving Teo.

I can't seem to help him through that.

Well, you're giving him another son.

It's hard to be joyful right now with so much going on at home.

You coming back would help a lot.

I can't come back until Henry's finished.

I know, but we're close.

You need any cash?

Yeah, actually I do. I'm running pretty low.

Okay. I'll stop at an ATM.

Thanks.

Joan, what's the protocol for a spy coming in from the cold?

Normally it's about six months of briefings and evaluations.

You get a physical, and somebody follows you around for about a year.

You said, "normally." What if-- what happens when it's not normal?

There's no precedent.

I was actually looking into that for Helen.

Helen wanted to come in?

Yeah.

Should I not have told you that?

I've been struggling with being away.

I always thought Helen was good at it.

Maybe she was just good at pretending.

[Phone rings]

It's Calder Michaels.

Yeah?

What? When?

Okay. Thank you.

Did they get Henry?

No. He set up a decoy in his house.

No one can find him.

[Sighs]

I'm really sorry, Annie.

How can you get me to Hong Kong?

Henry went to some pretty great lengths to make it seem like he wasn't going anywhere.

Which would suggest he's up to something worth going to great lengths for.

That it does.

How you feeling? I heard you took a hit.

Not too bad.

And how are you gonna avoid taking one?

You don't call a TAC team on Henry without consequence.

What sort of protections have you arranged?

You're looking at 'em.

If we don't come back with anything, this is basically a one-way trip.

Annie, can you give us a minute?

Sure. I'll go take my seat.

Thanks, Joan.

Fly safe.

You know, the first few months of us working together, I resented you, and the last few months, I've hated you.

Are you apologizing?

Because you suck at it.

[Laughs]

Calder, I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

It wasn't easy filling your shoes.

All right.

And thank you.

Thank you for Annie.

The girl can be persuasive.

Hi.

Hey.

Joan thought you could use a tech out there.

Yeah, she told me.

And when she told you, you were, uh--

I know you've always got my back.

I do.

I, uh, took this the other night.

I'm not entirely sure why.

[Sighs]

Thank you.

I was scared I lost you.

You know when I was scared?

When?

When I knocked on your door and you asked who it was, and I didn't know the answer.

We all good?
