Bionic Woman s01e07 Episode Script

Previously on Bionic Woman Dinner.
Tomorrow night.
That guy, Tom, is under some scrutiny.
He only has a paper trail for the last six years.
Before that, nothing.
We have to assume that he's the enemy, Jaime.
I don't believe it.
My gut tells me he has nothing to do with this.
The last time you listened to your gut about a guy, he had your limbs replaced.
Who's gonna have my back in there? I'm gonna be with you every step of the way.
Okay? You're the good guy.
Well, CIA.
I mean It's open to interpretation.
This time, we came out ahead, we could have done better.
I was thinking about Tom.
I was thinking about you.
God, you're beautiful.
Hey, Agent Hastings.
Hey, yourself, Agent Sommers.
So, I was just calling to make sure we were still on for the family dinner tomorrow night.
Wow, you're keen.
I thought it was just my-sister's-making-dinner, dinner.
What's she making? Pasta carbonara, which I actually hate, but don't tell her.
So, what are you doing right now? Working.
And, what are you wearing? You can't ask me that now.
All right, all right.
I got it.
Carry on.
Just be careful.
Okay? Don't do anything crazy.
No heroics.
I'll call you back.
So, where were we? Yeah.
Don't do anything crazy.
Hey, Jaime.
We don't have heavy cream or bacon, do we? You making a heart attack? Look, do you want me to cook dinner for your boyfriend, or not? I want you to cook for him.
I don't want you to kill him.
And he's not my boyfriend.
Yeah, tell your face that.
It's really It's nice to see you happy, Jaime.
I mean, you tell more jokes, and you buy me more stuff, so And because I'm inherently selfish and I want this to continue, I'm gonna make sure you make a really good impression on this guy, tonight.
Okay? Okay.
So, just leave it all up to me.
I will take care of everything.
Great.
All right.
Oh! Can I have 50 bucks to pay for all this? Morning, Chatty.
Chatty? Yeah, I took us a look at your cell phone log.
You were talking to Tom while you were out on a stakeout.
Not cool.
It's not your job to monitor my calls.
I am just saying, had you not been distracted, you could have taken the guy out with a lot less risk.
What risk? I'm bionic.
Bionic.
Not immortal.
And the risk I'm talking about, is not you.
Agent Sommers, go.
It's to Berkut.
Exposure.
You know what? Don't worry about it.
You're learning.
A general rule of thumb.
Relationships and counterespionage don't mix.
Is that why James Bond never had a steady girlfriend? I think having a steady girlfriend is over-rated.
You're such a guy.
Fifty caliber, depleted uranium tip.
This thing will eat your guts.
Created specifically for For the Chambliss Optical Tracking system.
Which gives this rifle an effective range of up to two and a half miles.
Lethality, 100%.
Two and a half miles.
That's further than I can see.
Yeah.
At least a mile and a half farther than any other rifle on Earth.
Something the world really needed.
We developed it.
We, Berkut? No.
We, the United States of America.
Fortunately, we recovered four dozen rounds from your bad driver last night.
However, the Army managed to lose six dozen rounds along with the rifle.
Lose? It was stolen out of an armored vault.
It ended up pointed at President Rudhan, Dictator of Imara, two weeks ago.
So, if the ammunition is in this country now, then Then the rifle is, too.
And President Rudhan will be here in three days.
He has a horse racing at the Bay Maiden Cup.
Supposedly, he trained the horse himself.
Why? Is somebody trying to kill him? Along with being good with horses, he rules by political terror, abduction, assassination, torture.
And that's not just people he doesn't trust.
Their families, the villages, all the people.
I know.
I spent some time there.
We're gonna protect this guy? Listen, they can kill him all day long in Imara.
But if it happens here, it's only going to empower the anti-American nationalists.
Leaving a power vacuum in Imara.
To be occupied by a fresh generation of Jihadists.
Taliban comes to Africa.
Right.
So we protect the bad guy.
Yeah.
Every move that His Excellency will be making while in this country, is shown here.
We trust that you, along with the CIA and the Secret Service, will insure that his visit is a pleasant one.
Security won't be a problem.
Personally, I don't see the need for American bodyguards.
I have complete confidence in my men.
The Imaran Security Forces are the most respected soldiers in Africa.
Feared, is a more accurate word.
You don't like our country? No, I love your country.
It's your genocidal dictator that No, not as much.
Look at the time.
We should do that perimeter check before it gets dark.
It's easy to sit in judgment.
But we are trying to build a nation from the ruins of colonial exploitation.
Our country would be torn apart without a strong leader to keep the peace.
Peace? What kind of peace are you talking about? I was there.
I watched your President kill thousands of his own people.
So what are we looking for? Places with a clear shot, and a good hide.
If the President's suite's here, then He won't be there, because there's a helipad on the rooftop next door.
Won't be there, because that building overlooks that one.
And if I had the pleasure of taking this monster down, I would be all alone on that rooftop.
Right there.
You've done this before, haven't you? Taken people out on rooftops? People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Churchill? No, George Orwell.
Damn.
I've got to get out of here.
I have my therapy session with Ruth.
And then, dinner with Tom and Becca.
Well, you've got balls, I'll give you that.
An hour with Ruth can be torture.
That's not what I'm talking about.
A relationship with a CIA operative? After everything you've been through with relationships, lately? You just can't keep your nose out, can you? The world we work in is too intense.
This relationship is never gonna work.
Who is she? Who? The woman who broke you.
Come on.
Why do women always think it's a woman? I'm going to get it out of you.
Issues, Ruth? Jaime, maybe we should talk about why you've been resisting these therapy sessions.
Am I? Well, I guess because you guys make me come to them and they're boring.
I feel like a science experiment.
Well, these sessions are designed to help you.
You know what would help me, Ruth? If you told me about your day.
How you're feeling.
I'm a psychiatrist.
We don't do that.
Come on, Ruth.
Break the rules.
Knock yourself out.
I mean, this place is hardly inducive to opening up and feeling comfortable.
You mean, my office? Berkut.
Look, this place is about as warm as a hospital bathroom.
Would it kill you guys to put up a painting? A plant? Rock it, a bit? Time's up.
Thanks, Doc, it's been a pleasure.
Jaime.
Stop.
No.
I've already got everything how it's supposed to be.
Don't touch anything, okay? Calm down.
It's just dinner.
Hey, calm down.
It's just dinner, okay? Wait here, okay? Wow.
Hi.
I think I just won Mystery Date.
Here, these are for you.
Thanks.
And this.
Thank you.
Tom, I'd like you to meet my sister, Becca.
Hi.
Hi.
It's great to meet you, finally.
Yeah, you, too.
I've heard so many things about you.
Come on in.
Okay.
We're actually not going to have dinner out in the hallway.
Well, I'm relieved about that.
Here, I'll take these.
Hi.
She is adorable.
I know.
So, Tom, how long have you been involved in calculator manufacturing? I moved over to the company five years ago.
Wait, so, how does an executive at a calculator company and a girl who sells timeshares, how do you meet, exactly? I bought a timeshare.
He bought a timeshare.
That's fun.
Where was the timeshare? Florida.
Istanbul.
No.
It wasn't in Istanbul.
Who buys a timeshare in Istanbul? I'm joking.
So, who asked out whom? I asked her out.
I took one look at her and I knew I wasn't leaving until I asked her out.
In fact, she's the reason why I bought a timeshare in Florida.
I hate Florida.
Hello? Hey, Jaime.
Sudden change of plans.
President Rudhan is arriving at the airport, right now.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
I am so sorry.
Big sale? Huge sale.
There's a big thing, and I They need a heavy hitter, and I just have to go, okay? I'll make it up to you.
I'm sorry.
Enjoy your meal.
Bye.
Watch out for those other brokers.
Yeah.
She does that sometimes.
Yeah.
What is this? It's Air Traffic Control 2.
0.
Cool, right? I don't remember getting excited over version 1.
0.
Five thousand planes in the air at any given time, and you're not excited by the software that keeps them from colliding.
It's narrow thinking, Jonas.
What's it got to do with us? Well, I was checking out air traffic patterns in preparation for Rudhan's flight in three days.
But, 2.
0 alerted some unusual activity.
Imara flight four-eight Charlie, slow to one-six-zero.
Descend and maintain 4,000, vector to approach.
Don't get a lot of private planes registered in Imara flying to the U.
S.
Maybe Rudhan's bringing in extra security.
This is why you're going to add genius to my title.
See, the software also gives me access to the computers and security cameras at Imara's airfield.
That's President Rudhan.
He boarded the plane 12 hours ago.
He's trying to sneak in under the radar.
Get Jaime on the line.
That airfield's unsecured.
Thank you, Nathan.
I'm glad somebody here is excited by advances in aviation and traffic control.
The President of Imara has had a change of plan.
He's arriving at the airport right now.
It's a perfect opportunity for the sniper.
I'm already on my way.
Antonio called me 10 minutes ago.
He couldn't have.
I just found out.
Whatever.
I'm on my way.
I am so sorry.
She's not usually like this.
She's usually a pretty considerate person.
I guess she just takes her job responsibilities really seriously.
Try not to take it personally, because it's not about you.
I mean, you're nice and I think she really likes you.
So, I bet the last thing you want to do right now, is have polite dinner conversation with some old guy you just met.
How about we start fresh? Take a rain check? I'll take the two of you out to some fabulous dinner at a great restaurant.
Maybe next week? Yeah.
Hey.
It was great meeting you, finally.
You too.
And You know, Jaime's lucky to have a sister like you.
And I'm pretty sure she knows it.
All right.
Great.
Bye.
Bye.
Yeah, I'm here.
She just left a few minutes ago.
Greetings, Mr.
President.
Antonio, the sniper.
We need to secure the President.
Get him away from the plane, now! What are you talking about? Move, move! Come on, move! Go, go, go.
Bomani, we need to get the President out of this city, out of the country, immediately.
That is not going to happen.
Let me talk to him.
Stop.
I apologize.
They don't always have the best of manners.
What do you want to tell me? You're not safe here.
You need to get on that plane and go home.
I mean, come on.
It's a horse race.
It's not worth dying over.
How much time have you spent in Imara? That would be none.
I'm not afraid to die for my beliefs and my people.
I thought I might see you here.
You're on this case? No.
They just called me in for backup.
Hey, where is your protective gear? Tom.
Don't start.
This isn't me thinking you can't handle yourself.
This is me thinking about a sniper bullet that big, which almost blew out your brains.
This is so typical of Berkut.
They think that the rules don't apply to them.
CIA always goes by the book? Do you mind? Yeah, actually, I do.
You're talking to my partner, causing yet another distraction.
So, back off.
Tom, I'll call you later, okay? Well, why don't you tell your partner that you don't show up to a mission like this with no protection.
She doesn't even have a weapon.
You're way in over your head, and you don't even know it.
Let's go.
We've got work to do.
I told you, CIA boy was a bad idea.
I don't need relationship advice from you, Antonio.
I spy with my little eye What is it, Sommers? What's that? I don't know, a piece of rubber? I'm not sure if I should trust you with it.
Why is that? You wanna tell me why you knew that guy was arriving at the airport before Jonas even called me? Believe it or not, my good friend, Bomani, called me.
You wanna level with me about this woman thing? I was undercover in Africa about three years ago.
Working with a woman.
We were assigned on point on a raid for a terrorist training camp.
We got the location, but they got her.
I knew they were going to torture her, but I had to do my job.
Get back with the intel, and leave her there.
She was still there when the first cruise missile arrived.
The missiles were right on target.
It was considered a good mission.
I'm so sorry, Antonio.
Oh, my God.
You just made the whole thing up.
Screw you.
What? You don't need a story to trust me, Jaime.
Just trust me.
I'm off to Berkut to show what we learned in school today.
I'm right behind you.
This is all you got? I'll run some tests on it.
How long is it going to take for you to run these tests? You have given me a small piece of rubber.
Don't give me attitude.
In that case, I'll be at home.
I have to go let Becca yell at me.
Jaime.
Could I show you something? Sure.
I got a plant.
I want you to be comfortable here.
Hi.
Hey, Beccs.
I'm so sorry I had to leave you earlier.
Don't screw this one up, okay? He is a great guy.
He's smart, funny, kind.
He's crazy about you.
He's so much better than those loser guys you usually date.
Sorry, I know.
That's just how I feel.
I know you have a wild, self-destructive streak.
Just Just keep that under control.
Okay? Okay.
Jaime? I threw out the carbonara.
I know how much you love it, but it doesn't keep, so 'Night, Becca.
Hello? Hey, Nathan.
Where are you? I'm in bed.
Really? What're you wearing? Focus, Nathan.
Why are you calling me? To gloat.
I ran my little tests on that ridiculously small, so-called piece of evidence you guys gave me a mere seven hours ago, and already I already have a solid lead on where the guy might be.
Fill me in.
What you guys gave me was a piece of the sole of a high-end sneaker.
On it was chlorinated residue found in residential fountains.
I traced it back to the Waterfall Apartments.
Antonio's on his way over there right now.
Is there a team on the way? No, he said the guy would see that a mile away.
He's going to handle it by himself.
Without me? Well, he said not to bother you, just let you sleep.
He said he could handle it.
Now would be the part where you say, "Wow, Nathan, that's really, really great work.
"You're so smart and hot.
And" Just a little boy.
She appears unarmed.
Where'd she go? Why are you following me? You're going to have to talk to Agent Hastings.
You got to be kidding me.
I don't have time for this.
Okay.
You know what? You tell Tom Hastings you You know what? I'll tell him myself.
I'm unavailable, so please leave a message.
Where the hell are you, Antonio? Nice place? Absolutely.
I'm glad you could come.
I can't do this anymore.
Come here.
Get your hands off me! You're crazy.
How can They know you were here.
They're sending more agents as we speak.
Just stay away from here.
Stay away from here.
What are you doing here? I thought I told Nathan to let you sleep.
We're partners.
Yeah.
You're right.
Let's go do this.
He's gone.
Antonio was communicating with the assassin.
Are you sure? Of course I'm sure.
You want to argue with the ear? You know, think about it.
He knew the President was arriving sooner than you did.
He told Nathan not to bother me.
He'd be fine by himself.
He just stood there, lying to me.
Going through the motions.
And what did you do? Nothing.
I just pretended I didn't hear him.
Look, I haven't been doing this very long, remember? It's okay.
You did fine.
You did fine.
I knew he was stationed in Imara, five years ago.
I knew he had strong feelings about the leadership there.
But I didn't know they were this strong.
You're going to have to bring him in.
No, actually, you're going to have to bring him in.
You can give Antonio false information, that the President of Imara is changing his box at the racetrack.
We'll stay on his ass, bust him and the shooter.
A little change of plans.
Really? Rudhan's security told us they've changed the location of the President's box.
He's now going to be sitting down below.
Right there.
That totally changes the sniper's sight lines.
Yeah.
What do you want to do? I'll take the tower, and you can take this other one.
We can cover this, right? Yeah.
Let's go do it.
What's up with you, today? Nothing.
Did something happen with you and CIA dude? Maybe.
I won't say, I told you so, but they never seem to work out in this line of work.
If that's the truth, then why do you still do it? Sometimes I don't know.
Sorry I didn't call.
I heard you took out two of my agents.
I can't believe you had me followed.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Whoa, whoa.
That's not why they followed you.
Really? Why, then? When someone in the CIA starts a relationship, they have to tell the organization.
And then, they check that person out.
That's all.
So I told them that you were my girlfriend.
On paper.
Right.
You know, are you who you say you are? And do you live where you say you live? Normal stuff in our line of work.
Okay.
Are you okay with that? Well, not being followed, but the other thing.
I don't know.
I have so much going on right now.
Well, what's going on? I can't tell you.
I'll call you later, okay? All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, the official results are in on Race Eight.
Venus Pride in first, with a twelve-eight.
Straight Up, No Olives, second, with a five-nine.
Dennis Gold Show with The horses are on their way to the gate, for the Bay Maiden Cup.
Graded stakes race with a million dollar purse.
All betting windows are now open.
You wanna tell me what the hell is going on? I heard you with the assassin.
I know you're in on this.
Did you tell Jonas? I had to tell him.
I'm not working with the assassin, but I do know her.
Her? Will you just tell me the truth? We were stationed together in Imara about three years ago.
We saw a lot of bad things.
She's been working underground against the Imaran government ever since.
She's in too deep.
She's lost.
It happens.
When I heard about the assassination attempt, I felt like it might be her.
The night at the airport, I found a cartridge.
Hand loaded.
One done by her.
To a shooter, that is as distinctive as a fingerprint.
Once I knew it was her, I tried to stop her.
I tried to talk her out of it at the motel, the night you saw me.
Told her that this was a bad idea.
That we were onto her.
But I couldn't bring myself to take her down.
She saved my life more than once, Jaime.
That That makes it a little hard to put a bullet in her.
Why the hell should I believe any of what you're saying? Because I'm asking you to.
You gotta believe me on this one.
I'm trying to stop this thing, just as much as you are.
I admit it.
If Jonas thinks I'm in on this, he probably had you feed me some false information about where Rudhan is sitting.
He did.
Jaime, that makes this guy an open target.
We cannot allow him to die on American soil.
You take the President, and I'll take the tower.
And they're off.
The horses have reached the back stretch.
Setting the pace slightly, followed by Leoni's Flower.
Samantha Cap coming up on the outside.
Prescott trying to squeeze through on the rail.
And it's Leoni's Flower moving to challenge Samantha Cap for second.
And coming into the final turn, it's Imari Victory ahead by five Yes.
Cover the windows! Cover the windows! Secure the President! Everybody down! Get him on the move! Now! Go! Go! Go! Julianne, stop! A person doesn't see what we saw back in '02 and forget it.
Torture, executions.
You've been working private sector ops too long.
But then, you were always good at walking away from things.
Look, I didn't walk away from you.
I had to complete the mission.
You know that.
Well, now I'm going to finish my own little mission.
Take the shot, Antonio.
Shut up, Sommers.
You should have listened to her.
So she was the one who broke your heart.
Sir, you need to keep this on.
I had to get out.
It was too intense.
She always had more nerve than I did.
I should have never left her alone in Africa.
Don't ever let that happen to you, Jaime.
It's not easy to live with.
I should have had her back.
We're losing him.
Clear.
Negative.
Charge again.
162.
Clear.
First time's the worst.
What happened? I can't do this.
I'm not cut out for this.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
