04x12 - Something Against You

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Covert Affairs...

The D.C.I.'s asked me to start a file on you, Helen's been our cutout, passing messages between us.

I pulled her in more fully into Henry's situation about a week ago.

Director Campbell, it's an honor to have you.

I'm actually not a director anymore.

Is one of you guys Reese?

I'm just next door.

I collect the rent, fix broken toilets for the landlords, so he gives me a break.

I'm Sana.

I lost my son, Jai.

Jai was my friend. I lost him too.

And I think you are smart enough to help me take Henry down.

Ah, Andrew Goodman.

Bienvenue. Welcome.

[Grunts]

Henry ordered that helicopter sh*t down, and you were the one that fired the m*ssile.

That's not even a question.

[Groans]

What are you planning on doing to David Dupres?

Tell her.

Tell her what he's gonna do to David!

Sana!

[Glass shattering]

Oh!

[g*nsh*t]

Why are we stopping here?

I could use a drink.

You?

[Sighs]

Can I have a sh*t of Patron?

What do you want?

Nothing. I don't want a drink.

Make it two, and can you charge it to the room?

It's under the name Goodman.

You want to know what we're doing here?

[Cell phone chimes]

Henry's been texting Andrew every half hour asking for a progress report.

So?

So this is Andrew Goodman's hotel.

It's the best place to figure out how to answer those texts.

What about the dead body we left in your apartment?

Somebody will have heard the g*nshots.

They're going to find the body.

It's only a matter of when.

That means the police are gonna be after us, if they're not already, as soon as they I.D. it.

It's hard to I.D. a body with no I.D.

I doubt his name was even Goodman.

He's a professional ghost.

I'm counting on the fact that he was good at his job.

Andrew Goodman will be a John Doe at least for a little while.

Hopefully, that'll give us enough time.

Enough time for what?

Counterstrike.

Henry doesn't know his guy is dead, so maybe for the first time ever, I know something he doesn't.

Drink up.

We're gonna go see what Andrew Goodman left behind.

Room 425.

You really have no idea what you're doing, do you?

You stormed into my interrogation because you were so desperate to find out what Andrew was planning for David.

Well, Andrew is dead.

The answers are here.

They have to be.

[Thumping]

Turn on the TV loud.

Where are you going?

[TV playing indistinctly]

Louder.

Louder.

[Announcer speaking French over TV]

[Cheers and applause over TV]

[Banging]

[Pounding at door]

[Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

Turn it off.

[TV clicks off]

[Beeping]

[Electronic chirping]

Bingo.

I need to decrypt this password and find a safe place to read the drive, and that's gonna take time-- time that you don't have right now.

'Cause David's wondering where I am.

Go home and put him at ease.

Lie to him?

Go through the story again.

I need to hear you say it.

I have lied before.

Say it again.

Go.

When you followed Andrew out of the meeting, you were distraught you'd blown the deal.

We grabbed a drink at a hotel.

I calmed you down, which took longer than either of us expected.

You'll be back into work in the morning, pride bruised, ready to make it up to David.

Good.

Go home and try to get some sleep.

Sleep isn't on the cards.

We tortured a man.

You sh*t him.

He's dead.

It doesn't affect you?

I don't have time.

We don't have time.

You want to protect David?

We have to move fast, and I need you to trust me.

Trust you?

You think a tough exterior is going to cover the fact that you have no idea how to handle Henry?

I was married to him for 11 years and his asset before that.

He's better at this than you.

Go home, Sana.

Something Against You
Original Air Date on October 24, 2013

Your man still sleeping it off?

No. Not exactly.

Can I--can we talk?

Just a second.

He's dead.

Dead?

We got in a fight. It got rough.

I had to defend myself.

Sounds like it serves the assh*le right.

This'll calm you down.

No, thanks. I can't.

I have to figure out what to do.

I'm in some serious sh*t, and I don't have anyone who's gonna help me.

You've been through this before, right?

You said your stepdad hit your mom?

Yeah, yeah, and I hated the prick for it, but I've never k*lled him.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't--I shouldn't have thought--

Wait, wait. What do you need?

Pretend like you don't know where I am, like, I haven't been here for days.

You don't know where I went.

Like, you have no idea who this guy is.

Buy me some time.

This is the building manager.

Please, Reese.

Yeah?

Wait, what?

Okay, okay.

I'll run over. I'll see you soon.

They found the body.

What are you gonna tell 'em?

You weren't there.

You left days ago, and I don't know where to find you, all right?

[Knocking at door]

Who is it?

It's me.

What do you want, Helen?

I have to be careful where I'm seen.

Can I please come in?

It was your decision to become a ghost.

Don't expect me to help you keep up that lie.

I don't.

The Campbells have asked for my help with Arthur's defense.

Oh, you're a lawyer now?

I know you must be in a lot of pain, and I am deeply sorry about Annie, but I need to know everything that happened between her and Henry in Copenhagen if I'm gonna find any evidence to tie him to the att*ck and exonerate Arthur.

Okay, you and I don't talk about Annie ever.

Understand?

I understand what you must be going through.

Bullshit.

I think you're here because Annie's gone.

Did Arthur and Joan even ask for your help, or did you offer it trying to clean your slate across the board?

You're right.

I have so much to make up for.

It's too late.

I don't ever expect you to forgive me, but I need you to know I never stopped being your wife, not for one moment in seven years, and the longer it went on, the more I realized what a mistake I had made, but I couldn't take it back.

What? You think you can take it back now?

I'm still your wife, Auggie.

Really?

Because the last time you were here, you made it very clear that's not the case.

You have not been my wife since the second you became somebody else other than Helen Hansen.

I don't know who you are.

I am still the same person.

Well, I'm not.

I watched you die.

Do you have any idea how long it took me to get over that?

And it was all a lie.

I understand, and I hope under all that hurt and anger, you will too someday.

We loved each other, Auggie.

It was a long time ago, just like you said.

I can't change what I did, but I can help all of you against Henry-- make him pay for what he's done.

He's the real enemy, isn't he?

[Sniffles]

This is the necklace you gave me in Rome.

I never stopped wearing it.

Maybe it's time you did.

I'll let you know what I find out about Henry.

Have they I.D.'d the body yet?

I don't know.

Is David still with you?

He went to the gym.

Did you find anything on the laptop?

No, the laptop was safeguarded-- professional grade.

It's gonna need brute-force decryption.

Can you do that?

No, but there was something on the flash drive.

Something?

Files.

Files?

Tell me--what's Henry's plan? What are the files for?

To set David up.

To make it look like he knew about the att*ck in Copenhagen-- like he profited from it, that he had inside knowledge.

David had nothing to do with that.

I know, but Henry wants it to look that way.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm working on a plan as we speak.

[Cell phone chimes]

[Sighs]

Jessica?

David. Hi.

Good morning.

You're in early.

Yeah, I was just working.

Let's talk about what happened yesterday.

I'm so sorry.

Um, what did Sana say?

She tried to calm you down.

I was so angry at you, but then she made me realize that what happened yesterday was Goodman's fault, not yours.

She's the saucer to my teacup.

She is a remarkable woman.

You know what? I'm going to call Goodman today to read him the riot act.

I've been waiting over a week for a new hard drive, okay?

If, if, if-- Auggie, sorry, man.

Just give me one second.

If I could buy one and bring it in, you know I would do that, okay?

Barber.

Never mind. I got it.

Thank you.

Sincerely, thank you so much.

It's good to have friends in low places.

Oh, man, is this what they have you doing now?

No, it's a special delivery.

Where were you last night?

I thought you were gonna finally come out to Allen's, man.

It's been way too long since you came out.

Yeah, I--I got caught up.

Hey, what's with all these background checks?

There is an increasingly thick cloud of paranoia going around.

You know, I thought it was just me.

It's not.

They're adding servers to hold extra data, and I heard Braithwaite opened a blue file on Henry Wilcox.

Really?

Huh.

I thought Wilcox had Braithwaite in his pocket.

I did too.

[Chuckles]

Hey, keep that one under your hat, all right?

Yeah, it's under the hat, man.

It's under the hat.

[Whispering]

Hey, Tommy.

Tommy.

How'd it go with patient zero?

One wedge between Henry and Braithwaite coming up.

It still amazes me how bad a building full of spies is at keeping a secret.

When will we know this is working?

When Henry wants to talk to you instead of Braithwaite.

Let me know when he reaches out.

Yeah.

Who are those people?

They said they're with Interpol.

[Speaking French]

David?

Interpol-- they're bringing me down to their offices for questioning about some files on my computer.

About what?

They think I had something to do with the helicopter going down in Copenhagen.

[Sighs]

It's just a misunderstanding.

Call Colin's firm.

Tell him to meet me at the Interpol office.

Of course.

Everybody, back to work.

It'll be fine.

Jessica...

Jessica.

Everything you said happened.

They came after David.

How did Henry do it?

How did he get the files on David's computer?

Henry didn't do it.

I did.

I loaded the files this morning.

You had Interpol drag my fiance away?

No. Henry must have called Interpol.

It's the next logical phase in his plan.

Sana, as soon as Henry realizes Andrew Goodman is dead, there is nothing else we can do.

He expected Andrew to plant that intel, so I did it.

It's a calculated risk, but David will be fine as soon as the real truth emerges.

You said you were working on a plan.

I figured we'd discuss it before you acted.

You said you had a hard time lying to David, so I prevented you from having to do that again.

How lofty.

So you did this for me?

I am trying to prove that Henry is the architect of the Copenhagen att*cks.

We are following the money.

Finding out how Henry moves his cash is the first step into getting David free, and I have a way we can do that.

David was already free.

Henry is the reason your son is dead.

Explain that.

I was there when the b*mb went off.

Jai and I had met at a diner.

I was supposed to be in the car with him, but I forgot my umbrella.

That's when it happened.

And Henry did this?

What did he tell you?

He said it was Arthur Campbell's fault, that soon the world would know the truth.

And he was angry.

It wasn't anger.

It was guilt.

The man who set the b*mb was a former operative that Henry had turned his back on.

Henry has been projecting his guilt about Jai's death onto everyone around him...

Destroying lives.

He is not gonna stop until someone stops him.

Let's stop him.

[Sighs]

What do you want me to do?

We're gonna need somewhere more private.

There's an empty office space upstairs.

I think that's a better cigar, so I'll take 20 of those.

Politics are a funny game.

Perhaps if we'd treated Fidel a bit differently, we could be shopping for the good stuff.

Henry, I--I didn't know you were a cigar man.

I have many vices.

What's this I hear about you opening a blue file on me?

Where'd you hear that?

So it's true?

Not, it's not.

It's--no.

Look, whoever told you that is mistaken.

If you want what Castro smokes, talk to Arturo in the back room.

Tell him I sent you.

But honestly, I think they're too strong for you.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello, Sana.

What a surprise.

So good to hear from you.

I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time.

It's always a good time to hear your voice, though, I'm hearing something in it.

Is everything all right?

I've been thinking about what you said in Frankfurt-- what you said about David.

What did he do?

He's in trouble.

Henry, I'd really rather not do this on the phone.

Can you come to Geneva?

Of course.

I can get on the next plane out.

Thank you, Henry.

I meant what I said in Frankfurt.

I'd do anything for you.

See you soon.

So he's coming to Geneva.

What now?

We'll reconvene in the morning before you sit down with Henry.

And do the thing I vowed I'd never do again.

He's coming to Geneva for you.

You're in control.

My fiance's in custody, and I'm taking orders from you.

Forgive me for not feeling in control.

Auggie.

Joan.

What are you doing down here in I.T.?

I...

I saw you talking to Calder.

Yeah, we work for the same agency.

It couldn't be helped.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

I mean, Calder k*lled Annie.

I'm stunned you'd even be acknowledging him.

Now, if you tell me you've been keeping tabs on him or investigating him, I would understand.

I can't talk about it.

Can't or won't?

I can't. I won't.

This isn't like you.

What about you?

What about me?

You and Arthur hired Helen.

Yes. She's following Henry to Geneva.

She's going to Geneva?

We thought she might be able to shed some light on Henry's finances.

Auggie, I am working in a box, pushing papers.

You're down here.

We have both lost so much.

I'm not gonna apologize for doing everything in my power to defend my husband.

I'm not asking you to apologize.

It is just you and me.

We're all that's left.

We both need to remember that.

When are you seeing Henry?

Half an hour. Cafe Geneve.

It's near the Hotel Dorciere where he's staying.

45 minutes.

Let's make him wait.

Henry hates waiting.

Exactly.

You may think that'll soften him up, but it's not the right move.

[Cell phone ringing]

That's me calling.

Answer it and leave the connection open.

Then I can listen during the meet.

Let's test it.

Henry hates waiting.

We want him on the tilt.

When you sit down, tell him everything he wants to hear-- that you're worried about David.

You're in distress.

You mean the truth.

You only have to talk to him for a little while.

Then I'm gonna throw a wrench into Henry's world, and you can leave right after that.

Where are you gonna be?

I have some related things I need to take care of.

When I was Henry's asset, he wouldn't let me out of his sight when there was a meet.

They call that infatuation.

I call that being a great handler.

The man was inclusive and reassuring-- everything you're not.

We'd go over a scenario until he knew I felt safe.

He had the luxury of time and the full backing of the CIA.

We don't have that.

I don't have that anymore.

This is the best plan, Sana.

You need to trust me.

Can we agree not to use that word again?

It's much too late for trust.

Sana.

I'm sorry I'm late.

That's quite all right.

They were just playing some Debussy in the cafe here.

Clair de lune?

Yes. I figured it was a sign.

Or you planned it.

Nah, if I'd have planned it, they'd still be playing.

[Laughs]

Sit down.

Don't you worry.

Listen to me, Sana.

I already have men looking into David.

Did you see any of this happening?

Did you look into him after what I told you in Frankfurt?

No, I should have.

David's always been very private.

I can help you.

I can help David.

I can keep you safe. Safe...

Tell me everything that's happened, anything out of the ordinary.

Out of the ordinary?

David's behavior?

Um, new visitors to the office?

Strange interactions?

No, I--I don't know. It's--

Tell me, Sana.

I need to know everything.

It's this whole situation.

I just can't believe David would be involved in something like this.

[Beeping]

I'll help get you through this.

I will always help you.

I've been thinking about Jai, I've been thinking about us.

Trying to get my life back.

Going back to the Agency?

My new company is doing the Agency one better.

When all is said and done, Lexington will make the CIA look even more out of touch than it already is.

[Electronic beeping]

Excuse me.

Put this away.

[Beep]

Everything okay?

Fine.

If you have something to take care of, we can meet later.

No, no--

[electronic beeping]

[Beep]

I should get going.

Sana--

It's okay. It's okay.

Let's speak soon.

Yes.

Thank you, Henry.

You're welcome.

[Sighs]

[Cell phone chiming]

[Cell phone chirps]

[Beep]

[Beeping]

He's still in love with you.

He wants you back.

I heard it in his voice, and he will do anything to make that happen, including paying off Andrew.

Once he wires the money, we can track the flow and find out who he's working with, and it links him to our red-haired friend.

This feels speculative.

It's just breadcrumbs.

It's always just breadcrumbs until it becomes something more.

You know that.

[Cell phone ringing]

Henry.

We're getting a rise out of him.

[Loud beep]

So what the hell are you doing?

You realize I--I put you into this game we play, and I can pluck you out.

I'm sure you wouldn't want anything to happen to Violet, would you?

[Loud beep]

Do you know who Violet is?

No.

[Beeping]

[Glass shatters]

[Cell phone chimes]

We've got him.

[Cell phone chirps]

This is gonna work, Sana.

The clock's ticking.

Is the receiving account all set?

I fabricated a dummy account for Goodman through F.I.N.M.A., put the necessary e-tags on it.

Once he transfers the money, we can locate the origin electronically.

Your breadcrumb.

Yeah.

All this for a breadcrumb.

What's it gonna take to get the whole bakery?

Nelson, this is me.

I'm--I'm in a bit of a bind.

You're calling me directly?

I need $3 million, untraceable, fast-tracked.

Okay, all right.

Define "fast-track."

Three hours.

Where are you?

Geneva.

You're in Gen-- look, I can't bend the laws of space and time--

I've done enough business with you to warrant this favor.

I'll do my best.

Thank you, Nelson.

All right, no more meeting inside the building.

We have to continue to talk like this.

Yeah.

Henry's office called me today.

He wants to sit down in two days when he's back in town... without Braithwaite.

Henry's in Geneva.

How do you know that?

It's complicated.

That's not an answer.

Are you in touch with Annie?

Absolutely not.

But you want to reach out now, don't you?

Absolutely not.

That'd put her at risk.

Annie's gonna have to live through this mission by herself.

Remember that.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah?

I found somebody who can accommodate your needs.

I just need to know where to send the funds.

Excellent.

I'll email you the receivable account details shortly.

[Cell phone ringing]

What do you got for me?

I found what you were looking for.

Where's my blackmailing friend?

He's dead.

They have him at the morgue at the Rue de Montbrillant.

He was found in a woman's apartment.

We're checking it out.

How long has he been dead?

Hard to say exactly.

They've had him at least one day, though.

It's 4:00.

Henry's out of time.

Did the money transfer go through?

No.

Then it didn't work.

Henry's always on time.

I told you that.

What happens now?

What happens to David?

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Jess, we need to talk right away.

There's a problem.

[Mouthing words]

[Grunts]

[Man shouting in French]

[Lively rock music]

♪

[Tires squeal]

♪

[Cell phone chiming]

[Cell phone chirps]

[Knocking at door]

One of those for me?

Decaf for the baby coffee-drinker in you.

Thank you.

Nice office.

There's a chair to your left.

You know, I've been thinking.

You were right.

We are it in this building, and we should share intel.

So you want to know if Helen found anything?

Oh, the thought had crossed my mind.

I thought this was a peace offering, but it's a bribe.

It's a latte.

I haven't heard from Helen.

I expected her back by now, but she hasn't reached out.

Hmm.

Now you.

Me what?

Better give me some intel, or I'm gonna think you're withholding.

I hear Braithwaite's on the outs with Henry.

That's interesting.

That syncs up with the rumor that's been going around the building that Braithwaite opened an investigation into Henry, his company, and all of his holdings since he left prison.

You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?

You know who would have appreciated a move like that?

Annie.

Any good spy would have appreciated a move like that.

Yeah, but it's Annie we're mourning, and I still want to know why you were talking to Calder.

[Door clicks open]

Sana?

Another difference between you and Henry-- he'd give me reassuring phone calls.

You just leave me to wait--

I'm compromised.

I have to leave Geneva.

We need to set up protocols for what to do next.

No, David's bond hearing is set for tomorrow.

I will get you some burner phones--

[muffled clattering]

Hello, Sana.

I've been looking for you.

Nice space.

Your secretary said you've been coming up here a lot the past few days.

Anyone else up here with you?

No, it's just me.

Have you heard anything about David?

Were you able to speak to any of your friends at Interpol?

They're working on it.

I'll have more concrete answers for you soon.

I still don't understand what happened.

Sana, I don't mean this to sound cold, but...

What is it?

Have you completely discounted the possibility that he may be guilty?

We never know people as well as we think we do...

Even those we love.

Why do I feel like we're not talking about David anymore?

There was a brief moment yesterday where things felt right between us, sitting together at lunch like old times.

Right after our song had just played, I had hope for us again.

There was a sparkle in your eyes, but that sparkle wasn't love.

It was betrayal.

You betrayed me.

You're scaring me, Henry.

You're all mixed up, not sure who to trust.

Seems this...

[Hammer banging]

Jessica Matthews has been a bad influence.

She pulled you in, convinced you to help her blackmail me.

Where is she, Sana?

I don't know.

I'll find her.

You know I will.

The authorities are looking for an Indian woman in connection with the death of Andrew Goodman.

Someone saw you in that apartment.

Is that a thr*at or more blackmail?

There are only two options with you.

You know me that well.

Fine. It's a thr*at.

David will never get out of this mess with Interpol.

I'll see to that.

I loved you, Sana, with all my heart.

Everything I've done has been for you and Jai.

Don't use us as a way to justify your evil deeds.

You're a monster, Henry.

Own it.

Fine.

I'm going to find Jessica Matthews and k*ll her.

[Door slams]

Are you okay?

Did you hear him?

He's gonna k*ll you.

Leave now.

There's still a way out of this for you and David.

Don't act like you care about us.

You used us every step of the way.

You scorched the earth, just like Henry.

Sana, I'm sorry about all of this, but we can't stop fighting.

We still have Goodman's computer.

We still have moves to make.

We?

All I've seen is you, your agenda.

You don't seem to be a person that cares about anyone else.

You're wrong.

I care about everyone I am fighting for, including you.

We are done.

To b*at Henry, you have to become him, and perhaps you have.

You're a monster too, Jessica.

Sana--

No, get out of here.

Now.

[Crunching]

[Engine revving]
