[ominous music playing]

Tom Welling, Brandon Routh,

Henry Cavill, Tyler Hoechlin.

[man screams]

Okay, now from best to worst.

Christopher Reeve, Tom Welling

I'm back. Sorry for the delay.

Where were we?

I don't wanna do more magazine quizzes.

[Tina] Come on, just a few more questions.

Why are you so determined

on distracting me?

Well, there's a small issue

with the Great Dane.

Exactly how bad is your heart condition?

Emma and I, we gotta track down the MNR.

Aldon, Roo, you find the Dane,

fly him back to prison,

and swap him out for Barry.

Only 45 minutes to head count.

We gotta steal a car and hit it.

[tense music playing]

[Tina] Officer Brunner?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

DOD rushed satellite tracking

of the reactor's nuclear signature.

It pinged 12 miles east of your location.

- Sending coordinates now.

- Copy that.

[Aldon] Here's the search perimeter.

He doesn't have an ID,

so he won't go to the airport.

Seaport's a no-go.

He'd need money to buy a stowaway slot.

There's no chance we're finding

that toe-blasting bastard by sunrise.

Just call in the NIS already.

You really wanna flag the Greek government

that we smuggled

a nuclear reactor onto their soil?

You're just scared of your ex.

She sang me the entire

Mamma Mia! soundtrack on my voicemail.

I'll play it. It's 57 minutes.

I love crazy women.

Can you give her my number?

Good call on the seaport.

I get motion sickness.

Whoa!

It's just a teddy.

We thought you were cool, Dane.

I am cool. It's just I knew

I was going back to prison again.

No way you'd leave Barry in danger,

and I'd already set up the meet,

so you guys would figure it out, so I ran.

Then it hit me,

what kind of life is that for my family?

To be a fugitive

from NIS and Interpol and CIA?

Better to go back and finish my sentence

than curse my son with a life on the lam.

I can get anything I want in prison.

Oddly enough, the only thing I can't get

is a teddy bear that doesn't have

a glory hole cut out the bottom.

Maybe you could just give that to my son.

Be happy to.

My empathy for you d*ed with my toe.

Now come on,

you're going back to Turkey, turkey.

I read this thing about a doctor

that regrew a guy's penis

on the guy's arm.

- Maybe you could grow your

- I'm gonna k*ll him.

[Tina] Good news, they found the Dane.

They're on their way.

[alarm blaring]

[uptempo instrumental music playing]

They better hurry

'cause inspection just started.

There it is, end of the street.

Tina, what's the intel?

Address has SARs on everything,

from stolen cars to stolen g*ns

to stolen people.

It is bad mama-jama territory.

- Be careful.

- [Aldon] Backup's on the way.

Just gotta steal a car first.

[Luke] Boro's meeting in 30.

- We gotta go in there now.

- [Aldon] Copy.

Emma, be safe.

I'm good.

Sure seem concerned

about my daughter's safety.

What?

Comms. Static.

Everyone is gonna be strapped inside.

I'm point.

Your AOR is behind and right,

and mine is ahead and left.

But watch your six.

Remember that time

we sang "Teddy Bear Picnic"

at the father-daughter talent show?

- Yeah.

- That was harder than this'll be.

Let's f*ck 'em up, Dad.

[Greek folk music playing]

[in Greek] Maybe it's a computer.

Or part of a rocket or something.

[hard rock music playing]

Oh sh*t!

If you go down to the woods today,

You'd better go in disguise ♪

For every bear that ever there was ♪

[grunts]

Today's the day

The teddy bears have their picnic ♪

[man 1 grunts]

[man 2 grunts]

That's the way

The teddy bears have their picnic ♪

Picnic time for teddy bears ♪

To have a lovely time today ♪

Watch them, catch them unawares ♪

And see them picnic on their holiday ♪

[both grunting]

If you're dancing

Through the woods today ♪

You'd better not go alone ♪

It's lovely down in the woods today

But safer to stay at home ♪

For every bear that ever there was ♪

Will gather there for certain because ♪

Today's the day the teddy bears ♪

[man screams]

[song ends]

[Emma panting]

- [in English] Are you okay?

- All in one piece.

So is this.

Aldon, we got the package.

Coming to pick you up for the meet.

I don't think the idea's gonna fly

of Aldon posing as Dane's personal valet.

I mean, I know Boro well enough

that if he doesn't see a dude showing up

that looks like Zach Galifianakis,

he's gonna drive right by.

We gotta prove to him

- that the Great Dane is there.

- [man grunts]

[man groans]

[in Greek] Hey.

[rhythmic instrumental music playing]

You kinda look like someone I know.

[in English] All right.

Hurry up

because if anything happens to Barry,

I will get you transferred

to an even worse Turkish prison.

The one with no windows

that only gets Showtime.

Understood.

But first I want you to have this.

I got it at the sundry store

where I found the teddy.

It goes on your piggies

and strengthens the toes you have left.

Wow, I don't even know what to say.

It's fine.

Are you sh1tting me?

You think you can win me back

with an impulse CVS buy?

Get in the vent.

I'm gonna hesitate

next time I think of buying you a gift.

Get in the vent.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Emma in Greek] Keep it together.

[Aldon in English] Mr. Polonia.

- Right on schedule.

- Who the hell are you?

Emissary of our friend, the Dane.

His test results are pending,

so he's keeping his distance

for your safety and his.

If he got his most elite client sick,

he'd be ruined.

Never seen the Dane so tan.

Greek beaches, am I right?

[in Danish] Great Dane, my friend,

when you're feeling better,

how about we party again

like old times, eh?

[in Greek] Fire some

finger g*ns.

Those are jazz hands!

Finger g*ns!

[Boro laughing]

[in English] That's my Dane. You madman.

[Geiger counter beeping]

What's wrong with him?

[groans]

Your father-in-law's stupid cr*ck wax

isn't holding his wound shut.

He's bleeding.

Don't open the box! [grunts]

Dad.

[g*ns f*ring]

[Boro grunts]

[both grunt]

Aldon, we're on our way.

I got it handled. Get Boro. [grunts]

sh*t, he's all over the place.

[exhales]

Let's see what you got, big'un.

[both grunting]

[Aldon grunting]

[Barry] Tina,

I want you to know

- You're not the Great Dane.

- I know, right?

[screams]

[both grunting]

Why won't you go down? [grunts]

[Aldon grunts, groans]

[Aldon yells]

- [g*n fires]

- [muffled] Oh no!

No. Oh God. d*ck on my face. [grunts]

[panting, spits]

What?

[tense music playing]

Diana?

Mamma Mia ♪

Here I go again ♪

My, my, how can I resist you? ♪

- [engine revs]

- Called it.

[dramatic music playing]

sh**t him in the calf.

We got to find out who his buyers are.

[music builds, ends]

- [doors open, close]

- [suspenseful music playing]

- [snoring]

- [Luke] See?

Just like the girl from the prom.

Boro passed out on animal tranqs,

Jenny Pepperman drank two Michelob Lights

and rode her bike into Willow Pond.

Exactly.

[Boro snores]

[Barry straining]

- White Lotus!

- [man grunts]

[Barry breathing heavily]

Don't molest the dead. It's gross.

- I didn't mean to.

- Relax.

It's not like anyone's gonna miss

Old Cavity-Search Constantine.

Hurry up and get that body up here.

I'll hide it behind the vent

near Cyrus the Cannibal's cell.

We are gonna have to take a couple bites

out of him just to sell it.

[chuckles] I'm joking.

But we will have to fit that large man

through this small hole.

[Barry] Tina

I haven't been completely honest with you.

When I said I wanted to impress you

because you were new on the team,

that was a lie.

I wanted to impress you because I

like you.

And the problem is,

I'm not the most impressive guy.

I'm a mediocre oboist

who's auditioned for Wheel of Fortune

four times and never been picked.

Despite that, I was wondering

if maybe when we get back,

you wanna go on a date with me.

[chuckles]

I thought you'd never ask.

I'll see you when you get back.

And Barry, Pat Sajak's a d*ck.

[laughs]

I know you were really scared today.

I wanted to be brave, but, you know,

Turkish prison.

You don't understand what I'm saying.

And who is braver?

The guy that does something

that he's not scared of,

or the guy that is scared of something

and does it anyway?

You were badass today.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Luke.

[sniffs]

What's that smell?

White Lotus by Elizabeth DuVray.

- It ruins the moment.

- [door opens]

- How's the prisoner?

- Roo just showed him her toe.

Pretty sure that violates

the Geneva Convention.

[Aldon groans]

- That ape banged you up pretty good.

- No, no, no.

It's just a strained rotator cuff.

Used to happen all the time

when I played ball.

Just gotta tough it out.

[winces, groans]

[Luke] You should put some ice on it.

- Now.

- [Aldon] Yes, sir.

Okay. [groans]

Great. Good thinking.

[door closes]

If you go down to the woods today ♪

- You're sure of a big surprise ♪

- [Luke laughs]

- [Emma chuckles]

- We should have won that talent contest.

Rachel Dunlop

with her stupid magician father?

- Such bullshit.

- Your mother was really mad.

Her getting up and booing

when they got the trophy.

[both laughing]

You asked before if I would have taken

a desk job to keep your mother.

I should have taken a desk job.

I should have scrubbed toilets.

I should have dug ditches.

I should have done anything

to hold on to your mother.

[gentle piano music playing]

Would you do the same for Carter?

I won't have to.

I'm not gonna make the same mistake

as you and Mom.

I don't wanna hurt him.

Remember when you were little

and you gave Oscar a piggyback,

and he fell

and started crying and screaming,

and the doctor asked me to hold him down

while he's putting the stitches in him?

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't stand the idea of hurting him,

so I sat in the car

while your mother did it.

Oscar called her "Mean Mama" for a week.

Pain is part of love.

Barry went to prison for Tina,

and he just likes her.

And the Dane went back to prison

because he loves his son.

It broke my heart

when your mom and I got divorced.

She didn't wanna divorce you.

She just wanted a present husband.

And I couldn't be that.

So

I let the marriage go.

For her.

And if you love Carter,

you would do exactly the same thing.

The longer you drag it on,

the more you're gonna hurt him.

It's just my opinion.

But I know

it is your decision.

[light instrumental music playing]

[music ends]

- [phone vibrates, rings]

- Oh.

- Is Boro talking yet?

- [Dot] No.

But right now I'm more concerned

with why my top operative

thought it was a good idea

to hire his ex at his cover job.

- You know?

- [Dot] I'm a regional CIA director.

I know your milk's gone bad before you do.

I also know Tally's been poking around

Merry Fitness' paperwork.

[Luke] Tally was trying to get a job,

and I'm trying to win her back.

So, um, I know it was not a smart idea.

No, it wasn't.

But we may be in the clear.

Seems she's stopped digging.

[door opens]

[ominous music playing]

I'm not so sure about that.

We have to talk.

Before you say anything,

let me explain to you

[exhales] It's Romi.

[melancholic music playing]

She's sick.

[Sandy sniffles]

I don't know, some kind of

adverse reaction to the chemo.

She's gonna need bone marrow

sooner than we thought.

I hate that I wasn't a match.

- How's your donor drive idea?

- [Carter] I talked to the superintendent.

He hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Um, I do know that they tend to worry

about liability issues with these things.

A child is dying.

I know. I told him it was for my niece.

I begged him.

Said he had to talk to the lawyers.

Look, if your school district

got behind this,

we could reach 10,000 people in a day.

I swear to you, I am doing the best I can.

Okay, look, I gotta take another call.

Just get it done.

[Carter] I will do my best.

- I I love you

- [line beeps]

H Hello?

[slurping]

[Luke] Hi, Kyle.

I'm Samantha.

- Wh What the hell is this?

- Hi, Kyle.

Oh, I get it.

You're her old man,

but you can't raise the kickstand anymore,

so now you just like to watch?

We're here about Sandy Yoon.

The woman you knocked up and ghosted.

Okay, in my defense, the condom broke.

It's not my fault the chick kept the kid.

She's not some chick.

She's my daughter-in-law

and the mother of my grandchild.

Her name is Romi, and she has leukemia.

She needs bone marrow.

You might be a match.

Hey, even if she's not lying

and I was this kid's dad

No, my son is her dad.

He's been Romi's father

since he met Sandy,

eight months pregnant and alone,

crying in the romance section

of a bookstore, thanks to you.

You're just a sperm donor.

Now you're gonna be responsible

for the first time in your life,

and you're gonna help my granddaughter.

And my niece.

And my grandniece.

Thanks, Kyle.

I'll get this to the lab.

We're gonna let you know

if you're a match.

[Dot] Before we begin,

I've just been informed, unfortunately,

no one in this regional branch

is a match for Romi.

But I've personally reached out

across the agency.

We're getting more swabs as we speak.

Thank you very much, Director.

I appreciate your support.

Now, let's focus on Boro.

Boo!

That guy sucks.

[Dot] As an enemy combatant,

Mr. Polonia has no rights

under the Geneva Convention.

Technically, since he's in transit,

we could hold him indefinitely.

Boro has ties

with multiple t*rror1st groups

interested in purchasing his weapons,

from the Middle East, to the Far East,

to right here at home.

He's sitting on a trove of intel,

and we need to do

whatever it takes to mine it.

As such,

I've submitted a request to the DOJ

to employ enhanced

interrogation techniques.

We're awaiting a PDD.

- You down with PDD?

- Yeah, you know me.

Presidential Decision Directive

for authorization for t*rture?

That's a line that government

should never cross.

Is that why you're against it,

or is it 'cause it'd be used against Boro?

What does that mean?

I'm just saying, you paid for his school,

you looked after him from afar

I mean you have a soft spot.

[scoffs] That's ridiculous.

He was a kid that needed help.

That's it and that's all.

He was, and now he's a dangerous man

with dangerous friends.

I say we turn the screws on him.

[Luke] It's always easy to support t*rture

when you haven't seen it

from five feet away like I have.

I agree with your dad, Emma.

There are parameters.

In the canon of most superheroes,

they only t*rture as a last resort.

Oh, ixnay on the nerd itshay.

[Aldon] I agree with Luke.

I think there are better ways

to get info out of someone.

You gonna honeypot Boro?

I'm just saying,

you don't run headfirst into t*rture.

It's a big step.

I spent months on this guy's compound.

I know him better than anyone here.

Boro only understands v*olence.

So let's give it to him.

It physically pains me to say this,

but Princess Emma's right.

This dickbag tried to k*ll

almost everyone in this room.

How are Covergirl and I

the only one with balls in here?

[Dot] Well, the point is moot

till we get that PDD.

In the meantime,

I'm putting Carlson on standby.

Carlson? Ooh, that guy be creepy.

Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

You didn't corral your cart.

- Carts go in the cart corral.

- What?

Your cart rolled off

and it dinged my PT Cruiser.

Piss off.

Boy, that just creams my corn.

[man grunting]

[man groaning]

[phone vibrates]

Yello. Norm Carlson here.

Outstanding.

Yeah, I just re-upped on supplies too.

- [Norm grunts]

- [man groans]

[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

Look at this.

A reunion.

Me, Finn, Danielle,

whatever your real names are.

I invited you into my home,

clothed you, fed you.

And you, Finn, I never once lied to you,

not even when I said I loved you.

I looked up to you,

and you k*ll my only living parent.

Now you chain me up.

Tell me, who's the bad guy?

The one selling nukes to t*rrorists?

- Now listen to me, Bengal

- Don't "Bengal" me.

Let me ask you something.

Did you ever care for me at all?

Or were you just acting

to curry favor with my father?

And once you k*lled him,

you took care of things for me

out of guilt to assuage your conscience.

I cared for you then,

and I care for you now.

That's why I'm trying to tell you

that there's a man coming

to inflict tremendous pain on you.

Pain unimaginable,

using methods that slide through

the tiniest loopholes in our legal system.

I'm fighting to stop that.

[Emma] And I'm cheering for it

like it's homecoming.

I don't care if a Ginsu Kn*fe salesman

shoves his entire sample case

up your ass to get you to talk.

Danielle, bring it down a notch, okay?

[Boro] Listen to the man, Dani.

I am a shark.

You caught a shark. Good for you.

But play my way,

and I can catch you many blue whales

who all wanna get their fins

on my suitcase b*mb.

The auction is in stasis.

One signal from me,

I could lead them all right to you.

What are the conditions?

Captivity on my terms.

House arrest in Bora Bora,

assets remain untouched.

A waterproof ankle bracelet

for dips in the ocean.

Still a prison,

just surrounded by white sands

instead of iron bars.

And when we say no?

My buyers are off in the wind,

get their nukes elsewhere,

and you have countless deaths

on your hands.

You'll be lucky if we get you

a six-by-eight in Leavenworth.

[phone vibrates]

We will consider it.

Come.

[door opens]

Hey. What are you thinking?

We're not making a deal with him.

Kyle is a match.

[Tally exhales]

Creamer. We need creamer.

Yes.

Your mother's freaking out.

You don't look too good either.

Well, I got a sick kid

and a frantic wife at the hospital.

- What if he says no?

- He's gonna say yes.

What if he wants to see Romi

or wants visitation?

What if he wants custody?

[Luke] Romi is your daughter.

Get your act together and calm down.

You hear me?

I'm gonna help Mom in the kitchen.

[exhales]

[in German] Sissy.

[Donnie in English] Sorry I'm late.

- Oh, hey.

- Oh.

Emma, Barry, Luke.

- Bean dip.

- Yeah.

Thanks very much.

Very kind of you to drop this off.

[spluttering] No, hold on.

I was invited to be here.

You must be confused

because this is family only.

- Barry's here.

- Well, Barry's family.

Damn straight.

- What's going on?

- He's just dropping off bean dip.

No, no, no, no.

I invited Donnie here for support.

I don't want Kyle to feel like

he's walking into a buzz saw

with all the people around here.

It's on a need-to-be-here basis.

Okay, Luke, please.

How do we even explain

Donald's relationship to Romi?

- Mom's husband's mother's boyfriend?

- [Tally] I'll take care of it.

Tally, it's fine. I don't wanna make

a difficult situation worse.

I'll be the bigger man and go.

- Can you walk me out?

- Sure.

- I'll, um, call you tomorrow.

- Yeah.

You must be Kyle.

Yeah. Hi.

Do the right thing.

[Tally] Kyle, hi.

It's nice to meet you.

Please come in.

[tense music playing]

[exhales]

[music builds, ends]

- I'll do it.

- Thank you.

But my buddy's a doctor,

and he told me there's risks.

Infection, nerve damage

My livelihood could be impacted,

so I think it's only fair

that we discuss cost.

Our insurance covers everything.

I don't mean the cost of the procedure.

I mean my cost.

Missed work, recovery time

- How much?

- Hundred fifty thousand.

[exhales] We can't afford that.

Mm. Pretty nice house.

You got a couple cars in the driveway.

You can figure it out.

I'm not gonna risk my life for nothing

just to save some kid I've never even met.

- You sneaky son of a bitch.

- Emma.

He doesn't give a sh*t about Romi.

He's doing this for a payday.

Emma, you hit him, he walks out that door,

and Romi doesn't get what she needs.

Think it over. You have my number,

and you have my number.

What just happened?

- Oh, now you talk.

- What does that mean?

Your kid is sick,

and you stand there and say nothing.

- Emma, that's not helpful.

- Dad told me to stay calm.

Who are you to talk to me like that?

You don't have a child.

You don't know what I'm going through.

Just shut up, Emma.

- Don't talk to your sister like that.

- Of course you stick up for her.

She's the son you always wanted.

[Tally] He's gonna be okay.

Luke, you're gonna have to sell your ship.

[Luke] It won't fetch

the kind of money he wants.

- [Tally] Really?

- It could take months to find a buyer.

What about a second mortgage?

- We already took one out years ago.

- Oh.

[Tally] What are we gonna do?

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna let anything happen

to our granddaughter.

I promise.

Okay. [exhales]

Oh my God. [breathes shakily]

What's a kindergartener doing

with a six-figure uncut diamond?

This is just a little souvenir

from Antwerp.

I felt bad that I missed her recital.

Antwerp? Is that a conflict diamond?

If you call k*lling a bunch of guys

in a warehouse a conflict.

I mean, It's no big deal.

It's no different than me

getting you the necklace for graduation.

You mean for missing my graduation?

Because all your gifts

were apologies for you being gone.

I see what this is all about.

You wanted to go after Boro,

you wanted to kick Kyle's ass,

and you couldn't do either,

so you're pissed off at me.

You could not be more off base.

I feel bad for you.

All the mistakes you made

with Oscar and me,

you're making the same ones with Romi,

and you don't even realize it.

God forbid something happens to her,

and you'll

You'll have blown your second chance

at getting it right.

[gentle piano music playing]

Hey, hey! Look what I got.

Found it at a tag sale.

I was looking for something

to cheer Romi up.

A rocking horse? Carter, the kid

can barely lift her head off her pillow.

I know, it's just for when she's better.

- Are you okay?

- Not really.

You said you'd do a donor drive,

not not do arts and crafts.

Okay. I Wow.

Um, I really thought

you said Kyle was a match.

I never said he'd donate,

and now he won't until we pay him.

I didn't know that.

It's fine. We'll

I will make some more calls.

I'm spinning a million plates,

and I just asked you to handle

this one thing.

Okay. Okay, okay. Look, look.

Em, you are somebody

who likes to control everything.

From academics, to your career,

to picking a handsome fiancé

who just kind of goes with the flow.

I think you're having a hard time

with the fact that

you can't control Romi's illness.

So why don't you stain this horse with me

and just take five minutes

to think about something else?

Right.

Yeah, okay.

'Cause the one thing every sick child

wants is a toy from the Renaissance.

I was just looking for someone

who could lighten my load a little bit.

No, no. Wait, Emma

[footsteps departing]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Polonia.

Name's Norm.

That art store has so many things

and so many aisles.

I had a dickens of a time

finding the right glitter glue. [chuckles]

Someone should make an app for that.

Norwegian krumkakers.

My mormor's recipe.

Let me know if you want me

to pop one in your mouth for ya.

Suit yourself.

This is worth $300,000.

All you have to do is go to the hospital,

take some tests, make a donation,

and this is yours.

I'm gonna walk into

that jewelry store over there.

Guy says it's real

you got a deal.

Oh, no backsies.

If you say yes,

the doctors are gonna set

everything in motion,

and they're gonna k*ll

Romi's immune system.

If she doesn't get a donation

within the next 24 hours, she'll die,

and so will you.

I know. Nothing's gonna happen to the kid.

I knew we could trust you.

[Norm] I know this looks pretty,

but there's a unique blend

of bonding agents to these art supplies.

They're gonna feel like

a line of fire ants

marching right up your ding dong.

Now let's get those slacks off.

Stop. We're pulling the plug.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy.

You will be paid in full.

Boro,

let's cut a deal.

- What the hell?

- An extradition order came down from OFAC.

We lose custody of Boro in 48 hours.

I have to make a deal.

This is horseshit!

Tell OFAC to O-f*ck themselves.

See, I don't get the luxury

of flying off the handle,

being unprofessional,

and cursing at my superiors

when I don't get what I want.

We have him right in that room.

You can't

It is not your place to tell me

what I can and cannot do, Officer Brunner.

And let me be clear,

you raise your voice again

to me in my building,

you'll have a choice

between tech support and unemployment.

Am I clear?

Yeah.

You okay?

[Luke] What the hell is

the Office of Foreign Assets Control doing

sending a South American t*rror1st

that was arrested by Americans in Greece

to Zimbabwe, of all places?

Boro supplied the expl*sives

that were used in a t*rror1st att*ck

in Harare four years ago.

There's enough corruption there.

He will most likely buy his way

out of incarceration within weeks.

But the US wants to play nice

with the Zimbabwe government

to access lithium mines

in the Masvingo Province.

It's always about money, isn't it?

If we want Boro's buyers,

there's no time to waste.

He will cooperate if we agree

never to prosecute him for crimes,

known and unknown,

prior to the date of the agreement.

So if we discover that he blew up

an orphanage a year ago,

we couldn't touch him?

Correct.

But we don't have to tell him

about the extradition order to Zimbabwe.

Once his African pals drop all the charges

against him, he'll be a free man.

Free to continue business as usual.

Free to be nailed for whatever

twisted nonsense he gets up to next.

All right, it's not perfect,

but I'm trying to turn chickenshit

into chicken salad here.

Maybe you can explain that

to your daughter.

Emma's having a real tough day.

She's so pissed about Boro

and very upset about Romi.

Not an excuse.

I'm telling you as her senior officer,

not as her father,

keep her in line.

[Luke] Understood.

But I hope that you know

how good she really is.

She's invaluable to the team.

She's a quick problem-solver.

She has guts. She has great instincts,

and I'm saying that as a senior officer

and as her father.

Thank you for the evaluation.

You're welcome.

And thank you for being on my side,

eighty-sixing the t*rture.

Oh, I didn't take anybody's side.

Frankly, I'm the only one in this building

who's earned the right

to have an opinion on t*rture.

[dramatic music playing]

This was not an IED, was it?

Whatever they did to you,

you obviously withstood it.

You did your duty.

Whatever happened to you is your business,

but this conversation never took place.

Thank you.

I'll owe you one.

[Luke] Steak from Mastro's,

milkshake from Bob's Big Boy.

Now, talk.

Uh, the buyers and I communicate

via an encrypted dark web message board.

They're pinged

once I upload an authentication video

of myself with the b*mb

to prove it's operational.

How do you prove it's operational?

State-sponsored satellite,

one of America's many enemies,

one of my many allies.

It can trace the b*mb's

unique nuclear signature

and send verification to the buyers.

All I need is my w*apon.

Your suitcase nuke has been disarmed,

but it still has active nuclear material.

But we won't allow an enemy

to ping our HQ.

- We sh**t the video off-site.

- Fine by me.

Once the video is online,

interested buyers will confirm

with ice cube emojis,

indicating everything's cool.

You track their IP addresses,

exact locations, commence raids.

I promised you whales.

My customer list

is a who's who

of the world's baddest leviathans.

I'm sorry that you turned out this way.

I turned out this way

because you k*lled Omar Polonia.

He was a dangerous man.

But by k*lling him, I deprived

a little sweet boy of his father.

I thought I could fill that space

with peanut brittle and gifts

and sending you to school,

but every kid needs a father figure there.

So quality time with you

would've made me a different man?

Quality time is a lie peddled

by busy parents to alleviate guilt.

It's quantity time that counts.

So you're there for the wounded knees,

and doing science projects,

falling asleep watching cartoons together.

I'm sorry I deprived you

of all of these wonderful things.

Do you regret k*lling my father?

No, but I regret what it did to you.

- I still think this deal's a mistake.

- I know.

That's why I want you to sit this one out.

Go to the hospital and support the family.

They need you there.

Plus, you're too upset and distracted

right now to be in the field.

I've been working Boro for months.

What did you tell me

about choosing work over family?

It's too late for me, but not for you.

Take Aldon with you to the hospital.

Aldon, get your shoulder checked.

Injured, you're no good to me.

Yes, sir.

And Roo and I,

we're gonna take Boro upstate.

Oh yeah. Tag team back again.

Keep me updated, okay?

Yeah.

- [Luke] Come.

- [Roo] All right.

[suspenseful music playing]

[door closes]

[Luke] Okay, Boro, time for your close-up.

As soon as this video is posted,

our source will confirm that this device

contains legitimate nuclear material.

Interested parties, you know the drill.

Bonne chance.

[camera beeps]

Okay, the video will be uploaded

to the darkest of the web in a minute.

[phone ringing, vibrating]

What's going on?

Kyle flaked. No one can find him.

[Luke]

I knew that SOB couldn't be trusted.

Get in touch with Ops.

They know where he is.

Okay.

[Luke] Now, Emma, just be smart

with the way you handle him.

Just keep your cool.

We still need his help.

Yeah.

- [line beeps]

- [Emma sighs]

[softly] f*ck.

Director, Boro's video

is live to the underworld.

We'll be tracking scumbags in no time.

Copy that.

Dot's on her way.

What's up with Kyle?

Got him.

Car's parked at a bar in Chappaqua.

The Roundabout.

- That's where we met him.

- Thank you, Tina.

Jeez, little girl's dying,

this guy's pounding brewskies?

Just drive faster.

Hey, uh, just wanted to say

thanks for helping us track Kyle,

and sorry for pushing our second date.

Second?

First one only lasted two bites of pizza

before we got the call about Romi.

But if I say our second date,

it moves things forward.

And I, uh want things to move forward.

Same.

Whenever you're ready for date número dos,

you know where I'll be.

[computer beeps]

[dramatic music playing]

Ice cube in Yemen.

Everything's cool in Syria.

[exhales]

- You're in the wrong place.

- sh*t.

My father gave you something valuable.

Now you have to give

something valuable to us.

Actually,

I don't have to do anything, okay?

Hey, man, kudos for getting

those tests done. Takes guts.

But I'm guessing once the docs listed

the cover-their-ass,

one-in-a-million procedure risk,

it got too real, and you ran.

And there's no shame in that, man.

You're human.

But that kid is your responsibility

I'm just a sperm donor, like her pop said.

And as such, I'm under no legal obligation

to follow through.

My buddy did two years at Touro Law School

and he told me so, so

Oh, what'd your buddy say

about stealing diamonds?

That possession is nine-tenths of the law.

- Oh.

- Look, I'm planted here, okay?

What you gonna do about it?

I'm gonna strike your Adam's apple,

making it impossible for you to talk.

Your head'll drop instinctively,

and we'll drag you out of here

like you're our buddy on a breakup bender.

In 30 seconds,

you'll be in the trunk of our car,

in five, you'll be wishing

you'd come voluntarily,

and in two, I'm hitting ya.

Oh, you mean business, huh, sweetheart?

- [grunts]

- [Aldon] Okay, here we go.

Oh, sorry, folks.

Girlfriend dumped him tonight, huh?

One too many. [laughs]

There we go.

- Sending coordinates in Mukalla.

- Ditto for Damascus.

Units from Al-Tanf and Lemonnier

are incoming.

[Barry] SEALs have landed in Islamabad.

- [Dot] Hold until all units are in place.

- [phone ringing]

What's going on?

- We picked up our friend.

- [muffled grunting]

He's still a little hesitant.

- [Kyle] Hey, let me out of here!

- Uh

Just figured a a workout

might clear his mind.

Bringing in a personal trainer.

Norm?

It's your call.

I trust your instincts.

- [Kyle yelling, hitting trunk]

- Thank you.

[Kyle] g*dd*mn, let me out!

[phone vibrates]

- Brunner.

- The favor you owe me?

That was fast.

[Luke] We need to use Merry Fitness

for personal reasons.

I need you to turn a blind eye.

[Dot] Asking for permission?

Forgiveness.

It's for Romi.

We never had this conversation.

[man] Don't you wuss out on me.

We're gonna pry that door open,

find those sales files

that prove that they're liars,

and then we're gonna take them

to the Chamber of Commerce.

- Hm.

- [exhales]

- You ready?

- Yeah.

- I think so.

- Okay.

[car approaching]

Get down!

[tense music playing]

What's going on?

[phone beeps]

Jesus, Mary, and Jehoshaphat.

[Shawn] I think they're doing

more than just fudgin' sales.

And we got it all.

[Dot] Last troops are getting in position.

Be ready on my signal.

[muffled grunting]

[Emma] I'm sorry, what?

I can't seem to hear you.

You gotta speak up.

f*ck you!

- [doorbell rings]

- [banging at door]

Norm, hi. Come on in.

Boy, you guys calling

sure lifted my loafers.

- It's so good to feel needed.

- Hey, Norm.

Think you can get some viable bone marrow

out of this cat?

Absitively posolutely.

The procedure's easy enough,

according to Wikipedia.

[muffled] Wikipedia?

Don't worry, just joshing.

I read an article

in The New England Journal of Medicine.

I read most of it.

Per your request for propofol,

my supplier, the Great Dane,

is completely off the grid,

so we're going to have to do this

the old-timey way.

- Buckle up, boy-o.

- [speaking unintelligibly]

[Emma] Now, you're gonna have the instinct

to go to the authorities

when all of this is over,

but if you talk to anyone,

we're gonna have to track you down,

take you again.

What'll happen to you after that

will be infinitely worse

than what's about to happen to you.

I'm sorry.

The thing is

you should've just gone to the hospital.

[muffled whimpering]

[whimpering, crying]

Hi. I'm Norm.

We're going to be working together today.

Hope you don't mind,

but I always like a little bit of music.

Medevac is gonna be here within minutes.

- Great. Now let's get after him.

- The chopper already left.

Within seconds, they'll be on a plane,

and within minutes,

they'll be over international waters.

- There still might be time.

- Maybe.

There's definitely gonna be

enough time for me to see Romi.

My family needs me now.

I got to go.

[whimpers]

[distant sirens blaring]

- Hey. I heard the procedure went well.

- So far, so good.

- She's a tough kid.

- Well, just like her aunt.

- So the hospital's none the wiser?

- Nope.

Barry loved wearing an EMT uniform

and driving the ambulance

Motor Pool gave him,

so, yeah, win-win.

Oh, good for him.

You read the debrief?

Boro got captured on purpose

to steal the nuke back,

and appears all the IP addresses

were spoofed by Cain.

Totally useless to us.

Theory is Boro got suspicious

when Dane called,

so he embedded a tracker in his body,

so his team could stay

in striking distance.

I wish we could've been there,

could've done something.

Then we wouldn't have gotten

what Romi needed.

And you were right,

we had to go the brutal route.

Maybe, but my dad was right too.

t*rture is very real

when it's five feet in front of you.

Aldon, I

For all that you did, thank you,

sincerely.

You were having a rough day.

I figured you could use someone

to lighten your load a bit.

[light instrumental music playing]

- [Carter] Hey.

- Hey.

You guys You came over together?

No, we, uh, ran into each other

in the parking lot.

Uh, I'm gonna grab a coffee.

- Good to see you, Carter.

- [Carter] Yeah, you too.

And, uh, nice horse.

Yeah, thanks.

Hey.

I'm really sorry

about how I acted yesterday.

- The horse really does look great.

- It's unfinished.

I spilled the bottle of stain

you bought for Nana Pat's clock.

Then I called the store

you said you got it from.

They said they don't carry it.

They said nobody does

'cause it was banned

by the Environmental Protection Agency,

and that it's only available

in Central Asia.

- What are you insinuating?

- I don't even know.

You You tell me.

You think they'd admit to selling

illegal products over the phone?

I don't know,

I asked the clerk to grab the best stuff,

she pulled it out of the back.

That's it. That's the story

behind the mysterious wood stain.

Okay, if you say so.

Okay, you know what?

Carter, I just tried to do something nice.

If you're gonna be weird about it

I'm gonna go see Romi.

[Luke] Hey.

Hey.

[Carter exhales sharply]

- What's up with the pony?

- Something I was fixing up for Romi.

I think

Emma's being unfaithful.

What makes you say that?

[Carter] She's kind of distant,

and she was making excuses

for running off.

Do you think there could be someone else?

Honestly

I don't know.

I just know that Emma has gone through

a lot these last few days.

And I know that she loves you.

I love her.

And I don't wanna lose her.

So I'm all ears, Mr. Brunner.

What do I do?

I know what it's like

to lose a woman that you love.

If you feel like she's slipping away

fight for her.

- How's our little angel?

- [Tally] Better.

She'll be here for a couple of weeks,

but the doctors say

she's getting stronger by the minute.

- That's good.

- I sent Oscar and Sandy back home to rest.

I'll stay here till she wakes up.

I'm gonna stay here too.

I want Pee-Pa

to be the first face she sees.

She okay?

[slow piano music playing]

I don't know.

You're very tired.

You've been through a lot.

You need some rest.

Why don't you close your eyes

a little bit?

There you are.

[phone chimes, vibrates]

I've been wondering,

how did you manage to pay off Kyle?

I didn't.

I changed his mind.

Hm.
