Human Target s01e03 Episode Script
Embassy Row
1 Danny.
AaronDid you get the package? What package? Danny, you all right? Messengered it to your office.
Do you have it? No, I've--I've been away.
I'm heading back there now.
What is it? I need you to finish it, Aaron.
It'll be dangerous.
You can't do it on your own.
415-555-0112.
No cops.
Danny.
Danny, what the hell is going on? Danny! Danny! Aaron Cooper? Who the hell are you? My name's Christopher Chance.
You called me on your cell phone about three hours ago.
I called a number.
It rang.
I didn't leave a message.
I'm a good friend of your brother Danny's.
Both your parents, they died in a car accident when you were 12-- Danny raised you.
You're both crazy about deep-dish pizza.
Whoa, whoa! You both like the girl in the jumpsuit on Buck Rogers.
Danny's dead.
I'm sorry.
He was a good man.
That number he gave you is sort of a friends-and-family thing.
You call the number, and I know that your life is in danger.
Whoever tossed this place is gonna be back soon.
So grab whatever you think is important.
Let's get out of here.
I've got no idea what any of this is about.
I mean, I'm a journalist, but I do the local beat.
This stuff is way out of my league.
Do you know what your brother did for a living? He was a nonprofit lawyer for the Grovener Foundation.
Danny wasn't a lawyer.
He was a counterintelligence operative with the foreign service.
Danny wasn't a spy.
No, he wasn't a spy.
He was a spy hunter.
He was one of the best.
So you worked with him? No.
Well, not exactly.
Let me see that file.
Do you know how he died? Um, cops said there was no sign of trauma, but heavy internal bleeding, Like some acute allergic reaction.
Nosebleed? How did you know that? Custom poison fits the profile.
It looks like your brother was following a Russian agent.
This russian agent got to him first.
How is this possible? Just 'cause the cold war ended Doesn't mean all the spies went home.
Look, Aaron, I know this might be a lot for you to take in right now, but I think your brother brought us together so we could finish what he couldn't.
Spies.
Custom poison.
I-I want justice for my brother, but I'm just a reporter.
I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Right here.
The Russian embassy? So Danny knew the target was going to a function at the embassy today.
All I got to do is just go in like Danny was planning to and catch him.
Yeah, but you're leaving out a couple of important details.
For one, Danny knew who the hell he was looking for.
And two, he had time to plan.
You, on the other hand, are looking for a ghost with only a couple of hours.
True, but I have Danny's notes, and one advantage-- the spy thinks that the only guy who could catch him is dead.
He won't be expecting me.
All we gotta do is get in there, identify the threat, eliminate it without causing an international incident.
It wouldn't be the first time we caused one.
Hey, dude.
Who are you? I count at least 50 soldiers and security goons on the embassy grounds alone.
Breaking in's not an option, not even for me.
Yeah, but even if you could, I'm not sure these notes are gonna be a huge help in finding Danny's killer.
No, they're all in some kind of code.
Code? Cool.
This guy, Alexei Volkov-- He shows up all over Danny's notes.
It's as good a place as any to start.
Yeah, um, listen, Do you mind excusing us for a moment? Listen, don't tell me to take a breath or tell me how hard this is gonna be.
I know he was a friend.
No, I told you stories of what happened in Kosovo.
Danny was the only guy that would come back And get me and pristina during the shelling.
The idea that he died alone? His killer's still out there.
I can't live with that.
Look, we're talking about invading Sovereign Russian soil on a high-security day.
Now, look, we can do it.
I'm just saying, let's be smart about it.
Take our time, plan it out.
Danny's killer's gonna be inside that embassy today.
I don't care what their security looks like.
I'm gonna go in and get him.
Human Target 1x03 Embassy Row Winston, I'm on my way in.
Now tell me again how you're getting past security.
Same way Danny was going in-- right through the front door.
"C.
C.
Baxter.
" Never heard of him.
That's 'cause he doesn't exist.
It was one of Danny's covers.
How do you know that? Helped him build it.
Name, please.
Oh.
C.
C.
Baxter.
Yes, Mr.
Baxter.
Welcome.
Identification? Uh, no, thanks.
Your photo I.
D.
, sir.
Oh, yeah.
Of course, um Have you ever changed what you're wearing Just before you leave and realize you left your I.
D.
in your other Pants? Wait here.
Mr.
Baxter? I'm Peter Blanchard, State Department liaison for today's event.
This is Alexei Volkov, chief of embassy security.
So Volkov is chief of security over there? That's kind of a high-profile job for a secret agent, don't you think? Uh, what seems to be the problem? Well, apparently you need an I.
D.
to get into this thing.
Yeah.
The department of defense put me on the list.
Maybe they can help.
I'll try the D.
O.
D.
social office for you.
Do you know who put you on the list there? Uh, Fred Galvis.
The Secretary of Defense? Yeah, he asked me to make the rounds for him here tonight.
All right, listen.
I put a call into Galvis' office to give him a heads-up.
But I ended up having to leave word.
Hopefully, he's not still holding a grudge after what you did to his boat and his house.
Oh, God, and that poor horse.
Well, maybe the horse wasn't really your fault.
Ah, yes.
Peter Blanchard from state calling for the secretary.
It's about a guest at today's event At the Russian embassy, A Mr.
Baxter.
C.
C.
C.
C.
Baxter.
I'm sure he's quite busy, but if you could just Oh.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Mr.
Secretary.
Uh, of course.
I-I'll do what I can.
I He wants to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
Mr.
Chance, I don't know what it is you're up to, and I'm not sure I want to know.
but you said that you'd ask for a favor, and I honor my commitments.
Thank you, sir.
He wants to speak with you.
Mr.
Secretary? How exactly do you guys know the Secretary of Defense? He wasn't always the Secretary of Defense, and You're not our first client.
Thank you, Mr.
Secretary.
Please enjoy yourself.
Thanks.
Excuse me, Mr.
Baxter.
I thought you'd like to know your guest has already arrived.
Guest? Great.
Wait a minute.
What guest? Well, whoever it is, they're gonna be looking for Danny's face, not mine.
Fine, stick with Volkov.
I'm not exactly sure if he's our spy our not, but like you said, he's all over Danny's notes.
So Just see where he leads you.
What about you? You having any luck breaking Danny's code? It's a simple beaufort null cipher, dude.
Piece of cake.
What, weren't you ever a boy scout? No.
Were you? Order of the arrow, troop 337.
Do a good turn daily.
Hey, 121467.
What--what's that mean? Don't know.
Still working on it.
I thought you said it was simple.
It's not a code, all right? It's something else-- a password or something.
Well, obviously it's important.
Look, it's on the line three times.
What about all these words surrounding them? Maybe that'll give it some context.
Respect personal space, dude.
"insulin, charcoal Atropine, prussian blue.
" Wait a minute, aren't these all-- Treatments for poison? Yeah.
Didn't help Danny, did it? Sorry.
Looks like the guy was trying to piece things together.
He was closing in on this guy named Raven.
That's probably the code name to our spy.
Mm-hmm, and Danny also thought he may have had the antidote with him.
Look.
It's common practice.
Look, if you were handling a substance like that, Wouldn't you maybe want to have the antidote close by, just in case you got any on you? Dude.
Chance Chance, we have a problem.
I think whoever poisoned Danny also got to Aaron.
You sure? Chance, this is Guerrero.
I'm sure.
Listen, Guerrero, Do me a favor.
Retrace Aaron's steps.
See if you can find out where it happened, Maybe identify the poison.
Oh, he's way ahead of you, apparently.
Anything in Danny's notes about an antidote? Only somebody named Raven may actually have the antidote.
Raven may be the code name for our spy.
Well, right now we have only one suspect.
I think it's time Volkov and I had a little chat.
Hurry.
Looks like most of the exits have a key-card access.
I'm gonna have to liberate one of those.
Just give me a minute, will you? I need to create a little distraction.
C.
C.
Baxter? You're late.
And not at all what I expected.
Man, I hope you're not waiting on my help on this.
Thanks.
Um, I'm sorry.
Are you sure you have the right guy? Security said you'd arrived, pointed you right out.
And you are? Carrie Jacobs Your guest.
Carrie, of course.
Oh, man, I don't like this at all.
Why in the hell would Danny have invited a guest? There's not much happening here.
Why don't we take a quick walk outside, Get to know each other better? Excuse me just a minute.
Mm-hmm.
She's a hooker.
I beg your pardon? Danny must have hired her.
Why would Danny have hired her? 'cause he's a degenerate, Partly because arm candy is good cover.
Showing up alone attracts attention.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
L-listen, I I'm not gonna be needing a date tonight, but, um thanks for coming.
Uh I'm sorry, you You think I'm a prostitute? A $40 prostitute? Well, I-- Oh! Got him.
Great, see where he leads you.
I'll check on Guerrero and see if he's gotten into Aaron's apartment yet.
Hi.
Feedin' the cat.
Ah.
Closing in.
Stand by.
Who's he talking to? Spetsnas.
Special forces to guard a cocktail party? That's overkill, even for these guys.
They know something's going down today.
Uh-huh.
That was a close one.
Volkov's got the heavy hitters together for something.
He was talking about trying to apprehend an unknown subject.
You know what I'm thinking? That they're looking for the same spy we are.
They're looking for the same spy we are.
Looks like a guard roster.
They're not kidding around.
Whoever Danny's target is, the Russians want him bad.
Winston Hang on a second.
What do you got? I just left Aaron's apartment.
The poison's here, dude.
It's airborne, and it's lethal.
But Chance was in there too.
Winston, we have a problem.
You got in there not long after Aaron did, so I don't know how much time that gives you in terms of symptoms.
Which are? Uh Swings in body temperature, Um, dizziness.
Degraded dexterity and motor skills.
Chance? Chance, are you still reading? Still here, just not listening.
Hey, ignoring this is not gonna make it go away.
Now, we may need to change the plan and get you out of there.
There's only one way out of here.
I find the threat before the Russians do, or Aaron and I run out of time.
There are two things I know to be true.
If I were a prostitute, I'd be a damn expensive one.
And you are not C.
C.
Baxter.
Did the hooker just punch you in the face? I don't think she's a prostitute.
Okay, let's-- Last night Danny turns up dead, And then you turn up using his cover.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out You're the spy we've been hunting.
We? Now you're gonna come with me, and we're gonna exit the embassy, And you're gonna answer my questions.
No, I'm not.
One, I'm not a spy.
I'm a friend of Danny's.
Two, the femoral artery bleeds just as fast as the jugular.
And three, I've been poisoned by the spy that you're looking for.
I don't find him, I die.
So I think maybe we're looking for the same guy.
Now, don't take this the wrong way, But I'm having a little bit of a hard time breathing, So can you just get off of me, please? I suppose you're one of those scumbag mercenaries that Danny always talked about.
Yeah, Danny and I had some pretty good times.
That's not exactly what I meant.
You seem a little sheltered for C.
I.
A.
Plus, you don't really fight dirty enough.
So I'm guessing F.
B.
I.
? Emma Barnes.
I was Danny's liaison with the bureau.
We were working together to track down a freelance spy, codename Raven.
He's been a major security breach for us for years-- Stealing intel, selling to anyone who'll pay, and leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
Well, apparently, he wasn't just a problem for us.
Volkov had a small army on the lookout for him.
If the Russians get a hold of him, he'll give them everything-- Classified information, state secrets.
We'll never be able to stop the bleeding.
Not sure how much I care about that.
But if we're gonna help each other, I need to know what was gonna happen today.
Raven stole the plans for some kind of weapons prototype, something the U.
S.
Government would very much prefer not to fall into the wrong hands.
He's gonna sell those plans here today at the embassy, use this event as a cover.
If we don't catch him making the sale, which my intel has going down at 5:00, he cashes out and vanishes.
And I lose my shot at the antidote.
Let's get moving.
You first.
I don't ever turn my back on someone who does this for money.
Well, I don't think I like her very much.
Neither do I.
I didn't get your name.
Sure didn't.
Well, it took you long enough.
Feel free to bring it up at my next performance review.
Hey, dude.
Is that a defibrillator? Nah.
Yeah, sorry.
Didn't want to alarm you.
Maybe we should revisit that idea of getting a doctor.
I've already reached out to the guys I can trust locally.
One of them's dead, the other's in prison.
Don't worry.
You're in good hands.
You're sure you know what you're doing? You could say I got some experience in this area.
All right, Guerrero's here working on deciphering Danny's notes.
We'll see if there's any information about the drop.
You're cutting it pretty close.
It's almost 5:00.
Where do you think security went? Probably fanned out across the complex, looking for the drop.
Okay, if Raven goes through the trouble to set up a meeting inside the Russian embassy, Wouldn't he want to have it in a place you'd least suspect? It's gonna happen right here.
You still there? I'm here.
I'm here.
Go ahead.
You're in a crowded room.
You want to have an exchange.
You don't want anybody to know about it.
How? Well, for sure you want to avoid passing anything hand to hand.
Something hard to monitor.
Uh, wireless, Bluetooth.
Hey, yeah.
You know, that's it.
That's it-- the exchange is gonna happen via bluetooth device.
I got a pairing number right here.
Give me that.
Here it is.
Try this--121 467.
You got it? I'll give it a shot.
Who are you talking to? I like to talk to myself.
Do you have a cell phone I can borrow? Bluetooth connections are harder to hack into than phone signals.
Unless we have a pairing code.
Phones are linked.
We're in business.
Raven's downloading proof that he has the plans.
This isn't a drop.
This is an auction.
Why sell to one buyer when you can get a rom full of the richest men in the world to bid against each other? It's perfect-- when it's over, everybody just walks away scot-free.
Bid's already over $20 million.
Bidders are dropping off fast.
If he makes this sale, we lose him.
Bluetooth range is only a few dozen meters.
He's gotta be in these rooms.
Which one? Let's find out.
Type in, "this transaction has been halted by the U.
S.
Government.
" What if this doesn't work? Well, you get to haul my corpse to a federal prison.
Hey, there, pal.
"Victor Shukoff.
" He was a big-time oil magnate.
He must have been the buyer.
Raven made sure we never got to question him.
Don't move.
You're not what I thought you were not a neanderthal.
The thing that you pulled with the bluetooth back there very impressive.
I'm so happy you're impressed.
And just so you know, when this is all over and I get out of here, I am gonna make sure that you are recognized for everything that you did here today.
When you get out of here? The bureau will figure out some sort of bargain for my release, eventually.
And what about me? Well The poison will kill me before we can figure out a way out of here.
But listen, if you need me to do anything for you You know, after the fact Just let me know.
Hey! what am I to do, hmm? When a prominent Russian oilman Is found murdered in my courtyard of my embassy, stolen Russian property found in his possession, and two americans found standing over the body with the murder weapon I am forced to ask myself this question which one of you is Raven? Hey! Hey! Aaron.
Aaron.
Hey, get in here! Aaron! Aaron! I'm pretty sure he can't hear you.
His heart stopped.
I know.
We're gonna start it again.
The instructions? You were reading the instructions? They put these things on school buses now.
We're not children here.
We can figure this thing out.
You said you were experienced at this kind of thing! I got experience putting people in this situation, not getting them out of it.
See? Get on with it, would you? Sure.
All right.
nothing.
Come on, Aaron, come on.
Thank God.
We've got a pulse.
Uhh.
Let's not throw a party yet, dude.
The poison's shutting down his system.
We bought him a little time, but If we don't get the antidote soon neither one of us will talk under these circumstances.
We're being held unlawfully.
You think we murdered Shukoff, but if you checked our hands, You wouldn't find any gun residue.
Proves nothing.
Maybe.
But somebody in this complex has proof on their hands that they fired a gun recently.
Now, if you puthe word out that you're taking samples, I guarantee you Raven would make a run for it.
You're the head cop.
Think like a cop.
This is exactly what Raven wants-- Danny's poison to look like a Russian hit.
They frame us for Shukoff's murder.
We're going back and forth with each other while he gets away.
You have every reason to lie.
Why should I believe you? Listen I'm a friend of Raven's last victim.
Thing is, I've been poisoned too.
And I've got 30 minutes or less to live.
Now, everything's out.
We're all telling the truth.
And we all want the same thing.
The state department liaison is demanding access to see you.
Watch them.
Are you out of your mind? You just compromised my cover on my entire project.
And for what? To save your own butt.
Well, I'm kind of attached to it.
But that's not what I'm thinking about right now.
No? What's that? How does he know we're here? The two of you all right? So far.
I want you to know I'm going to formally protest the treatment you've received here.
This is outrageous! Mr.
Blanchard, I agreed to allow you access to see these two, to show that they have not been mistreated.
If we can agree this is the case, then I will ask you to leave.
I can't agree to that.
You've caught two american spies here.
How can I be sure if I leave, they'll be treated fairly? We're not spies.
Of course you are-- A spy known as Raven, Caught in the act, and who, when captured, managed to kill three soldiers and the chief of security.
Where's the antidote, Raven? What are you doing? Looking for keys.
Can't we just pick it? Right.
Next idea.
Did you get all that? I didn't get much, but I heard gunfire.
You all right? For the most part.
Blanchard's got a key on him.
Potomac Motor Inn, room 12.
It's right down the road.
Maybe he's got the antidote stashed in there.
All right, room 12.
We're on our way now.
We'll pick you up at the embassy, west gate.
What are you doing? This doesn't look good for either one of us.
There's evidence on this thing of what just went down.
I can make my case, clear my name.
Excuse me.
What are you doing? Oh, what's the matter with you? The video of this entire thing was stored in there.
I know.
It's got my face on there too.
We can't have that floating around.
It's bad for business.
Sorry.
Sorry? Sorry? You're sorry? How am I gonna prove any of this? That sounds like a tomorrow problem.
Let's get out of here.
There's another exit.
Service entrance by the east gate.
Damn it! They must have found the bodies.
That doesn't look promising.
Shouldn't I drive? He's got to keep it cold.
Dude, I got the antidote.
I'm heading to you now.
Now what? Don't even think about it.
You got a better idea? All right, we're going up and over.
Come on.
A little help here.
Come on, on your feet.
I need to get you to the hospital.
I don't think I can get up.
No, you--you can't die.
You're my only witness to this whole mess.
Witness? I lost Raven.
I was involved in an international incident on Russian soil, and if I lose you, then who's gonna back me up? And besides that-- This is gonna hurt, dude.
Who the hell are you? Ohh.
No one special.
Nice dress.
Let me see that.
That did hurt.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go! Wait a minute.
Hold on.
Sorry, lady.
How--how am I gonna get in touch with you? No, no, you can't just disappear.
I'm--I'm gonna have to owe you one.
See ya.
Russians are claiming that Chechen terrorists tried to seize their embassy.
"an investigation continues "as to whether the FBI had an undercover agent within the compound at the time of the attack.
" I'm gonna prove what happened.
Ah, yes.
Your phantom witness, right? Not a phantom, a person with fingerprints That the lab just pulled off of this.
All right, mystery man, Who are you? Hey.
Yeah? You got a visitor.
Hi.
How you feeling? Better.
Come on in.
I read your article.
Danny would've been proud.
Thank you.
And thank you For everything.
But I actually had one more question.
Sure.
What? I need to know-- Who was my brother, really? He was a lot of different people.
He was whoever he had to be to get the job done at the time.
That's what made him so good.
No one could ever quite pin him down.
It's kind of the nature of the job.
Sounds lonely.
See, when you're a guy like Danny, You can't have any attachments.
It distracts focus, Puts people you care about in danger.
I'm guessing that's why he never told you.
Thank you.
Couple of things.
One, if anybody asks, we never met.
And if I call, pick up the phone.
It might be important.
You got it.
Take care.
What's up with you? I got an alert somebody just ran your prints at the F.
B.
I.
Oh, yeah.
It must have been climbing over the wall.
I think I got my prints on her side of the handcuffs.
You left your prints? Why the hell would you leave your prints? I didn't do it on purpose.
You didn't forget to wipe 'em So she'd have a way to find you eventually? I saw the two of you before we picked you up.
You think I'd risk everything for a woman? What am I, 14? So it was a mistake? Yes.
You're sure? Yes.
Winston, if I never see that woman again, it'll be too soon.
Uh-huh.
AaronDid you get the package? What package? Danny, you all right? Messengered it to your office.
Do you have it? No, I've--I've been away.
I'm heading back there now.
What is it? I need you to finish it, Aaron.
It'll be dangerous.
You can't do it on your own.
415-555-0112.
No cops.
Danny.
Danny, what the hell is going on? Danny! Danny! Aaron Cooper? Who the hell are you? My name's Christopher Chance.
You called me on your cell phone about three hours ago.
I called a number.
It rang.
I didn't leave a message.
I'm a good friend of your brother Danny's.
Both your parents, they died in a car accident when you were 12-- Danny raised you.
You're both crazy about deep-dish pizza.
Whoa, whoa! You both like the girl in the jumpsuit on Buck Rogers.
Danny's dead.
I'm sorry.
He was a good man.
That number he gave you is sort of a friends-and-family thing.
You call the number, and I know that your life is in danger.
Whoever tossed this place is gonna be back soon.
So grab whatever you think is important.
Let's get out of here.
I've got no idea what any of this is about.
I mean, I'm a journalist, but I do the local beat.
This stuff is way out of my league.
Do you know what your brother did for a living? He was a nonprofit lawyer for the Grovener Foundation.
Danny wasn't a lawyer.
He was a counterintelligence operative with the foreign service.
Danny wasn't a spy.
No, he wasn't a spy.
He was a spy hunter.
He was one of the best.
So you worked with him? No.
Well, not exactly.
Let me see that file.
Do you know how he died? Um, cops said there was no sign of trauma, but heavy internal bleeding, Like some acute allergic reaction.
Nosebleed? How did you know that? Custom poison fits the profile.
It looks like your brother was following a Russian agent.
This russian agent got to him first.
How is this possible? Just 'cause the cold war ended Doesn't mean all the spies went home.
Look, Aaron, I know this might be a lot for you to take in right now, but I think your brother brought us together so we could finish what he couldn't.
Spies.
Custom poison.
I-I want justice for my brother, but I'm just a reporter.
I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Right here.
The Russian embassy? So Danny knew the target was going to a function at the embassy today.
All I got to do is just go in like Danny was planning to and catch him.
Yeah, but you're leaving out a couple of important details.
For one, Danny knew who the hell he was looking for.
And two, he had time to plan.
You, on the other hand, are looking for a ghost with only a couple of hours.
True, but I have Danny's notes, and one advantage-- the spy thinks that the only guy who could catch him is dead.
He won't be expecting me.
All we gotta do is get in there, identify the threat, eliminate it without causing an international incident.
It wouldn't be the first time we caused one.
Hey, dude.
Who are you? I count at least 50 soldiers and security goons on the embassy grounds alone.
Breaking in's not an option, not even for me.
Yeah, but even if you could, I'm not sure these notes are gonna be a huge help in finding Danny's killer.
No, they're all in some kind of code.
Code? Cool.
This guy, Alexei Volkov-- He shows up all over Danny's notes.
It's as good a place as any to start.
Yeah, um, listen, Do you mind excusing us for a moment? Listen, don't tell me to take a breath or tell me how hard this is gonna be.
I know he was a friend.
No, I told you stories of what happened in Kosovo.
Danny was the only guy that would come back And get me and pristina during the shelling.
The idea that he died alone? His killer's still out there.
I can't live with that.
Look, we're talking about invading Sovereign Russian soil on a high-security day.
Now, look, we can do it.
I'm just saying, let's be smart about it.
Take our time, plan it out.
Danny's killer's gonna be inside that embassy today.
I don't care what their security looks like.
I'm gonna go in and get him.
Human Target 1x03 Embassy Row Winston, I'm on my way in.
Now tell me again how you're getting past security.
Same way Danny was going in-- right through the front door.
"C.
C.
Baxter.
" Never heard of him.
That's 'cause he doesn't exist.
It was one of Danny's covers.
How do you know that? Helped him build it.
Name, please.
Oh.
C.
C.
Baxter.
Yes, Mr.
Baxter.
Welcome.
Identification? Uh, no, thanks.
Your photo I.
D.
, sir.
Oh, yeah.
Of course, um Have you ever changed what you're wearing Just before you leave and realize you left your I.
D.
in your other Pants? Wait here.
Mr.
Baxter? I'm Peter Blanchard, State Department liaison for today's event.
This is Alexei Volkov, chief of embassy security.
So Volkov is chief of security over there? That's kind of a high-profile job for a secret agent, don't you think? Uh, what seems to be the problem? Well, apparently you need an I.
D.
to get into this thing.
Yeah.
The department of defense put me on the list.
Maybe they can help.
I'll try the D.
O.
D.
social office for you.
Do you know who put you on the list there? Uh, Fred Galvis.
The Secretary of Defense? Yeah, he asked me to make the rounds for him here tonight.
All right, listen.
I put a call into Galvis' office to give him a heads-up.
But I ended up having to leave word.
Hopefully, he's not still holding a grudge after what you did to his boat and his house.
Oh, God, and that poor horse.
Well, maybe the horse wasn't really your fault.
Ah, yes.
Peter Blanchard from state calling for the secretary.
It's about a guest at today's event At the Russian embassy, A Mr.
Baxter.
C.
C.
C.
C.
Baxter.
I'm sure he's quite busy, but if you could just Oh.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Mr.
Secretary.
Uh, of course.
I-I'll do what I can.
I He wants to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
Mr.
Chance, I don't know what it is you're up to, and I'm not sure I want to know.
but you said that you'd ask for a favor, and I honor my commitments.
Thank you, sir.
He wants to speak with you.
Mr.
Secretary? How exactly do you guys know the Secretary of Defense? He wasn't always the Secretary of Defense, and You're not our first client.
Thank you, Mr.
Secretary.
Please enjoy yourself.
Thanks.
Excuse me, Mr.
Baxter.
I thought you'd like to know your guest has already arrived.
Guest? Great.
Wait a minute.
What guest? Well, whoever it is, they're gonna be looking for Danny's face, not mine.
Fine, stick with Volkov.
I'm not exactly sure if he's our spy our not, but like you said, he's all over Danny's notes.
So Just see where he leads you.
What about you? You having any luck breaking Danny's code? It's a simple beaufort null cipher, dude.
Piece of cake.
What, weren't you ever a boy scout? No.
Were you? Order of the arrow, troop 337.
Do a good turn daily.
Hey, 121467.
What--what's that mean? Don't know.
Still working on it.
I thought you said it was simple.
It's not a code, all right? It's something else-- a password or something.
Well, obviously it's important.
Look, it's on the line three times.
What about all these words surrounding them? Maybe that'll give it some context.
Respect personal space, dude.
"insulin, charcoal Atropine, prussian blue.
" Wait a minute, aren't these all-- Treatments for poison? Yeah.
Didn't help Danny, did it? Sorry.
Looks like the guy was trying to piece things together.
He was closing in on this guy named Raven.
That's probably the code name to our spy.
Mm-hmm, and Danny also thought he may have had the antidote with him.
Look.
It's common practice.
Look, if you were handling a substance like that, Wouldn't you maybe want to have the antidote close by, just in case you got any on you? Dude.
Chance Chance, we have a problem.
I think whoever poisoned Danny also got to Aaron.
You sure? Chance, this is Guerrero.
I'm sure.
Listen, Guerrero, Do me a favor.
Retrace Aaron's steps.
See if you can find out where it happened, Maybe identify the poison.
Oh, he's way ahead of you, apparently.
Anything in Danny's notes about an antidote? Only somebody named Raven may actually have the antidote.
Raven may be the code name for our spy.
Well, right now we have only one suspect.
I think it's time Volkov and I had a little chat.
Hurry.
Looks like most of the exits have a key-card access.
I'm gonna have to liberate one of those.
Just give me a minute, will you? I need to create a little distraction.
C.
C.
Baxter? You're late.
And not at all what I expected.
Man, I hope you're not waiting on my help on this.
Thanks.
Um, I'm sorry.
Are you sure you have the right guy? Security said you'd arrived, pointed you right out.
And you are? Carrie Jacobs Your guest.
Carrie, of course.
Oh, man, I don't like this at all.
Why in the hell would Danny have invited a guest? There's not much happening here.
Why don't we take a quick walk outside, Get to know each other better? Excuse me just a minute.
Mm-hmm.
She's a hooker.
I beg your pardon? Danny must have hired her.
Why would Danny have hired her? 'cause he's a degenerate, Partly because arm candy is good cover.
Showing up alone attracts attention.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
L-listen, I I'm not gonna be needing a date tonight, but, um thanks for coming.
Uh I'm sorry, you You think I'm a prostitute? A $40 prostitute? Well, I-- Oh! Got him.
Great, see where he leads you.
I'll check on Guerrero and see if he's gotten into Aaron's apartment yet.
Hi.
Feedin' the cat.
Ah.
Closing in.
Stand by.
Who's he talking to? Spetsnas.
Special forces to guard a cocktail party? That's overkill, even for these guys.
They know something's going down today.
Uh-huh.
That was a close one.
Volkov's got the heavy hitters together for something.
He was talking about trying to apprehend an unknown subject.
You know what I'm thinking? That they're looking for the same spy we are.
They're looking for the same spy we are.
Looks like a guard roster.
They're not kidding around.
Whoever Danny's target is, the Russians want him bad.
Winston Hang on a second.
What do you got? I just left Aaron's apartment.
The poison's here, dude.
It's airborne, and it's lethal.
But Chance was in there too.
Winston, we have a problem.
You got in there not long after Aaron did, so I don't know how much time that gives you in terms of symptoms.
Which are? Uh Swings in body temperature, Um, dizziness.
Degraded dexterity and motor skills.
Chance? Chance, are you still reading? Still here, just not listening.
Hey, ignoring this is not gonna make it go away.
Now, we may need to change the plan and get you out of there.
There's only one way out of here.
I find the threat before the Russians do, or Aaron and I run out of time.
There are two things I know to be true.
If I were a prostitute, I'd be a damn expensive one.
And you are not C.
C.
Baxter.
Did the hooker just punch you in the face? I don't think she's a prostitute.
Okay, let's-- Last night Danny turns up dead, And then you turn up using his cover.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out You're the spy we've been hunting.
We? Now you're gonna come with me, and we're gonna exit the embassy, And you're gonna answer my questions.
No, I'm not.
One, I'm not a spy.
I'm a friend of Danny's.
Two, the femoral artery bleeds just as fast as the jugular.
And three, I've been poisoned by the spy that you're looking for.
I don't find him, I die.
So I think maybe we're looking for the same guy.
Now, don't take this the wrong way, But I'm having a little bit of a hard time breathing, So can you just get off of me, please? I suppose you're one of those scumbag mercenaries that Danny always talked about.
Yeah, Danny and I had some pretty good times.
That's not exactly what I meant.
You seem a little sheltered for C.
I.
A.
Plus, you don't really fight dirty enough.
So I'm guessing F.
B.
I.
? Emma Barnes.
I was Danny's liaison with the bureau.
We were working together to track down a freelance spy, codename Raven.
He's been a major security breach for us for years-- Stealing intel, selling to anyone who'll pay, and leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
Well, apparently, he wasn't just a problem for us.
Volkov had a small army on the lookout for him.
If the Russians get a hold of him, he'll give them everything-- Classified information, state secrets.
We'll never be able to stop the bleeding.
Not sure how much I care about that.
But if we're gonna help each other, I need to know what was gonna happen today.
Raven stole the plans for some kind of weapons prototype, something the U.
S.
Government would very much prefer not to fall into the wrong hands.
He's gonna sell those plans here today at the embassy, use this event as a cover.
If we don't catch him making the sale, which my intel has going down at 5:00, he cashes out and vanishes.
And I lose my shot at the antidote.
Let's get moving.
You first.
I don't ever turn my back on someone who does this for money.
Well, I don't think I like her very much.
Neither do I.
I didn't get your name.
Sure didn't.
Well, it took you long enough.
Feel free to bring it up at my next performance review.
Hey, dude.
Is that a defibrillator? Nah.
Yeah, sorry.
Didn't want to alarm you.
Maybe we should revisit that idea of getting a doctor.
I've already reached out to the guys I can trust locally.
One of them's dead, the other's in prison.
Don't worry.
You're in good hands.
You're sure you know what you're doing? You could say I got some experience in this area.
All right, Guerrero's here working on deciphering Danny's notes.
We'll see if there's any information about the drop.
You're cutting it pretty close.
It's almost 5:00.
Where do you think security went? Probably fanned out across the complex, looking for the drop.
Okay, if Raven goes through the trouble to set up a meeting inside the Russian embassy, Wouldn't he want to have it in a place you'd least suspect? It's gonna happen right here.
You still there? I'm here.
I'm here.
Go ahead.
You're in a crowded room.
You want to have an exchange.
You don't want anybody to know about it.
How? Well, for sure you want to avoid passing anything hand to hand.
Something hard to monitor.
Uh, wireless, Bluetooth.
Hey, yeah.
You know, that's it.
That's it-- the exchange is gonna happen via bluetooth device.
I got a pairing number right here.
Give me that.
Here it is.
Try this--121 467.
You got it? I'll give it a shot.
Who are you talking to? I like to talk to myself.
Do you have a cell phone I can borrow? Bluetooth connections are harder to hack into than phone signals.
Unless we have a pairing code.
Phones are linked.
We're in business.
Raven's downloading proof that he has the plans.
This isn't a drop.
This is an auction.
Why sell to one buyer when you can get a rom full of the richest men in the world to bid against each other? It's perfect-- when it's over, everybody just walks away scot-free.
Bid's already over $20 million.
Bidders are dropping off fast.
If he makes this sale, we lose him.
Bluetooth range is only a few dozen meters.
He's gotta be in these rooms.
Which one? Let's find out.
Type in, "this transaction has been halted by the U.
S.
Government.
" What if this doesn't work? Well, you get to haul my corpse to a federal prison.
Hey, there, pal.
"Victor Shukoff.
" He was a big-time oil magnate.
He must have been the buyer.
Raven made sure we never got to question him.
Don't move.
You're not what I thought you were not a neanderthal.
The thing that you pulled with the bluetooth back there very impressive.
I'm so happy you're impressed.
And just so you know, when this is all over and I get out of here, I am gonna make sure that you are recognized for everything that you did here today.
When you get out of here? The bureau will figure out some sort of bargain for my release, eventually.
And what about me? Well The poison will kill me before we can figure out a way out of here.
But listen, if you need me to do anything for you You know, after the fact Just let me know.
Hey! what am I to do, hmm? When a prominent Russian oilman Is found murdered in my courtyard of my embassy, stolen Russian property found in his possession, and two americans found standing over the body with the murder weapon I am forced to ask myself this question which one of you is Raven? Hey! Hey! Aaron.
Aaron.
Hey, get in here! Aaron! Aaron! I'm pretty sure he can't hear you.
His heart stopped.
I know.
We're gonna start it again.
The instructions? You were reading the instructions? They put these things on school buses now.
We're not children here.
We can figure this thing out.
You said you were experienced at this kind of thing! I got experience putting people in this situation, not getting them out of it.
See? Get on with it, would you? Sure.
All right.
nothing.
Come on, Aaron, come on.
Thank God.
We've got a pulse.
Uhh.
Let's not throw a party yet, dude.
The poison's shutting down his system.
We bought him a little time, but If we don't get the antidote soon neither one of us will talk under these circumstances.
We're being held unlawfully.
You think we murdered Shukoff, but if you checked our hands, You wouldn't find any gun residue.
Proves nothing.
Maybe.
But somebody in this complex has proof on their hands that they fired a gun recently.
Now, if you puthe word out that you're taking samples, I guarantee you Raven would make a run for it.
You're the head cop.
Think like a cop.
This is exactly what Raven wants-- Danny's poison to look like a Russian hit.
They frame us for Shukoff's murder.
We're going back and forth with each other while he gets away.
You have every reason to lie.
Why should I believe you? Listen I'm a friend of Raven's last victim.
Thing is, I've been poisoned too.
And I've got 30 minutes or less to live.
Now, everything's out.
We're all telling the truth.
And we all want the same thing.
The state department liaison is demanding access to see you.
Watch them.
Are you out of your mind? You just compromised my cover on my entire project.
And for what? To save your own butt.
Well, I'm kind of attached to it.
But that's not what I'm thinking about right now.
No? What's that? How does he know we're here? The two of you all right? So far.
I want you to know I'm going to formally protest the treatment you've received here.
This is outrageous! Mr.
Blanchard, I agreed to allow you access to see these two, to show that they have not been mistreated.
If we can agree this is the case, then I will ask you to leave.
I can't agree to that.
You've caught two american spies here.
How can I be sure if I leave, they'll be treated fairly? We're not spies.
Of course you are-- A spy known as Raven, Caught in the act, and who, when captured, managed to kill three soldiers and the chief of security.
Where's the antidote, Raven? What are you doing? Looking for keys.
Can't we just pick it? Right.
Next idea.
Did you get all that? I didn't get much, but I heard gunfire.
You all right? For the most part.
Blanchard's got a key on him.
Potomac Motor Inn, room 12.
It's right down the road.
Maybe he's got the antidote stashed in there.
All right, room 12.
We're on our way now.
We'll pick you up at the embassy, west gate.
What are you doing? This doesn't look good for either one of us.
There's evidence on this thing of what just went down.
I can make my case, clear my name.
Excuse me.
What are you doing? Oh, what's the matter with you? The video of this entire thing was stored in there.
I know.
It's got my face on there too.
We can't have that floating around.
It's bad for business.
Sorry.
Sorry? Sorry? You're sorry? How am I gonna prove any of this? That sounds like a tomorrow problem.
Let's get out of here.
There's another exit.
Service entrance by the east gate.
Damn it! They must have found the bodies.
That doesn't look promising.
Shouldn't I drive? He's got to keep it cold.
Dude, I got the antidote.
I'm heading to you now.
Now what? Don't even think about it.
You got a better idea? All right, we're going up and over.
Come on.
A little help here.
Come on, on your feet.
I need to get you to the hospital.
I don't think I can get up.
No, you--you can't die.
You're my only witness to this whole mess.
Witness? I lost Raven.
I was involved in an international incident on Russian soil, and if I lose you, then who's gonna back me up? And besides that-- This is gonna hurt, dude.
Who the hell are you? Ohh.
No one special.
Nice dress.
Let me see that.
That did hurt.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go! Wait a minute.
Hold on.
Sorry, lady.
How--how am I gonna get in touch with you? No, no, you can't just disappear.
I'm--I'm gonna have to owe you one.
See ya.
Russians are claiming that Chechen terrorists tried to seize their embassy.
"an investigation continues "as to whether the FBI had an undercover agent within the compound at the time of the attack.
" I'm gonna prove what happened.
Ah, yes.
Your phantom witness, right? Not a phantom, a person with fingerprints That the lab just pulled off of this.
All right, mystery man, Who are you? Hey.
Yeah? You got a visitor.
Hi.
How you feeling? Better.
Come on in.
I read your article.
Danny would've been proud.
Thank you.
And thank you For everything.
But I actually had one more question.
Sure.
What? I need to know-- Who was my brother, really? He was a lot of different people.
He was whoever he had to be to get the job done at the time.
That's what made him so good.
No one could ever quite pin him down.
It's kind of the nature of the job.
Sounds lonely.
See, when you're a guy like Danny, You can't have any attachments.
It distracts focus, Puts people you care about in danger.
I'm guessing that's why he never told you.
Thank you.
Couple of things.
One, if anybody asks, we never met.
And if I call, pick up the phone.
It might be important.
You got it.
Take care.
What's up with you? I got an alert somebody just ran your prints at the F.
B.
I.
Oh, yeah.
It must have been climbing over the wall.
I think I got my prints on her side of the handcuffs.
You left your prints? Why the hell would you leave your prints? I didn't do it on purpose.
You didn't forget to wipe 'em So she'd have a way to find you eventually? I saw the two of you before we picked you up.
You think I'd risk everything for a woman? What am I, 14? So it was a mistake? Yes.
You're sure? Yes.
Winston, if I never see that woman again, it'll be too soon.
Uh-huh.
